Just passing this along after declining a PROD since there have been at least three of them over the history of this article. Primary concern relevant to AfD seem to be that the subject does not meet notability guidelines. Ks0stm 23:44, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - I can't see any way (most of) the references in that list could possibly be considered to be from reliable sources - broken links, event directories, Flikr and self-published videos. The one actual news item in the list is about the subject's product (the community television program he is on) rather than the subject. Even then, we need multiple sources, so one falls short. Can't see any way the subject currently meets WP:GNG. Stalwart111 (talk) 02:29, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion was declined and removed; this article isn't important enough or notable enough to have an article. It seems to be a local mall. TBrandley 23:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of New Zealand-related deletion discussions. 00:54, 19 October 2012 (UTC)-gadfium 00:54, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Please take into account this mall is in New Zealand. While a mall of this size may not be notable in the USA/UK, this is reasonably signifcant in New Zealand. It serves a suburb of around 20,000. I can't find any more sources yet, although Isn't the newspaper article enough? I really don't think it's fair to delete this just because there are too many malls on Knowledge. The other think is, it would be hard to say the mall isn't notable without having been there (which I have done). Maybe it's only a New Zealand thing, but this mall really is the centre of the community. It is the most significant thing in the suburb. No disrespect meant, but I don't think it is appropriate to comment on what the mall is/isn't ('It is a local mall!') without having been there. And the only two people who HAVE been there have said it is notable. Videomaniac29 (talk) 03:42, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

The article doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG, though. Sure, that source is a good one, and reliable, but just one source regarding itself isn't notable enough, it needs to be widely covered, regardless of where you live, or are. That doesn't matter, nor does the fact that it serves a suburb of 20,000. It wouldn't be deleted because there are too many malls, no, it would be due to WP:GNG, a notability policy. I welcome any further comments or opinions from other editors, too. Regardless of this, you are obviously editing in good faith. TBrandley 03:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

PLEASE, tell me how to find a more notable source. Very rarely will there be a notable source about anything in New Zealand, other than the local paper. I know this mall is notable enough, but there just isn't the media coverage in NZ as there is elsewhere. Many NZ articles solely use local papers as sources, and they are not up for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoppingCandyTexas (talk • contribs) 03:57, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

I have recently added a new source. ('but just one source regarding itself isn't notable enough') So it no longer solely contains self-regarding sources. I doubt there'd be anymore sources, but I'll post here if I find one. Videomaniac29 (talk) 04:01, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Just found a source from major NZ newspaper. Quotes from it: 'Papamoa is Tauranga's fastest growing suburb and thousands of people visit the plaza every day. Tauranga's population is forecast to grow to 150,000 residents over the next 20 years. The plaza's immediate catchment encompasses 17,000 residents and a higher than average median income for the Bay of Plenty region. During the summer holidays turnover takes a huge surge when the immediate catchment swells with up to 216,000 visitors.' To me, that seems notable enough. Please tell me if you think it isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Videomaniac29 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

I have added more info backed up by several more sources, among them the NZ Herald, one of the widely distributed papers in NZ. That proves it is notable. Could you please consider removing deletion requests now because I made the article in Good Faith, and now it is backed up my numerous notable sources. For an NZ articles, it has well above average sources. Videomaniac29 (talk) 04:14, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that, but I'd still like to keep this open, just in case someone has something to say regarding it, and to make sure that it is for sure notable. Cheers, TBrandley 04:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

But as it no longer violates Knowledge's policy of notability, could this be closed quite soon, so the article becomes 'normal'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Videomaniac29 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

No, that's the point, I'm not sure, and would like to await the opinions of some others, quickly. Regards, TBrandley 04:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep: I think the article is crap. The citations are awful. The article suffers from problems with lists. It almost needs to be nuked and re-started from scratch. That said, Google News search shows 27 sources that reference it, including a fire in there, what management is doing, etc. This is covered by the major national newspaper and by local papers. .

Well the thing is, I made and saved the basic part of the article. Then, as I was typing up improvements and extra bits, I noticed it was up for deletion, so I ceased improving the article because my effort would have been wasted if it was deleted. That's why I am wanting this discussion to end ASAP, because I've added the requireed sources to make it notable. When this ends, I will continue improving the article, but until this ends, I'm not willing to improve it, in case it gets deleted. Videomaniac29 (talk) 00:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

IMPORTANT...READ: I have changed my mind, and started improving the article. I have added a lot more sources, and a lot more content. There is absolutely no way this article breaches Knowledge's Notability Guidlines. I am therefore asking if this discussion could be closed, and the article returned to normal.

A.N.S. Raghavan (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)

There is no evidence of notability due to insufficient information about the subject and I haven't found any relevant sources with Google News India. Considering the article mentions "1920s", it is certainly possible that any sources may not be English or Internet-based. Although A. N. S. Raghavan and N. S. Raghavan are both businesspeople, there isn't any evidence to suggest they are related. Considering the article claims he was a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), I searched but found nothing relevant. I found recent news articles for a B. Raghavan but, like N. S. Raghavan, there isn't any evidence of relation. As I mentioned, if this person truly existed, it is likely that useful sources are not English and I wish there was a native name to expand my search but there isn't. I should note that I have watched this article since June 2012 and, unsurprisingly, the article hasn't received any activity or improvement. SwisterTwister talk 23:33, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete – Per above. Dcfc1988 (talk) 01:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Current article has no references demonstrating notability. There's a The Hindu article profiling A.N.S. Raghavan, but I haven't been able to find much else. As the nom has suggested, the sources, if they are out there, are likely in not in English. I'm willing to change my opinion if more sources are provided.--xanchester (t) 19:51, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable sources. If such sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. I tend to agree with Xanchester. There's this book cite, but it's about his death and is in passing. All other book mentions are mere listings of people. Nothing else to be found rises to the level of significance under WP:GNG. If he's a pioneer in his field, it's a bit surprising to me that there isn't more English sourcing. English is commonly used in India as a language of business, and there ought to be corporate histories of India in English, although I haven't checked this. Given the subject's age, I allow for the possibility that there may be Hindi or other Indian language sources to support this, but I am doubtful based on the information we have. --Batard0 (talk) 13:33, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

This article gives an unpleasant impression of double standard policy concerning notability on Knowledge. It took me 5 weeks to demonstrate the notability of Jean-Paul Herteman who is the most important person in French Aerospace.

The result was delete. Keep votes are unconvincing because none provide sources that discuss the subject of "clubs and societies of Royal College, Colombo", as required per WP:LISTN. Sources that discuss individual clubs and societies, while great for individual articles on the clubs, don't support a list article like this one. ‑Scottywong| converse _ 17:02, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Pure WP:SCHOOLCRUFT. Clubs at an elementary, junior, and senior high school do not deserve their own page. Note that I'm not even proposing a merge, because the majority of this isn't even important enough to be listed on the main article (Royal College, Colombo), and it's almost entirely unsourced anyway. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep: Following refs indicate the level of significance of most of these societies in Sri Lanka;
  1. Radio Club of Royal College - , ,
  2. Philatelic Club of Royal College - , , ,
  3. Interact Club of Royal College - , , ,
  4. Astronomical Society of Royal College -
  5. Royal College General Knowledge Club - ,
I do agree some of these societies should be removed but ones such as these have a national level recognition as mentioned in the refs provided. Therefore the article should be kept but modified. Cossde (talk) 12:54, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
If those clubs are notable in a Knowledge sense, then they should have Knowledge entries. The concept of "clubs at Royal Columbo" is not a notable concept, and thus it should not have an article. Please note that when you consider creating those individual articles, they must be discused in detail, not merely mentioned as having one event or another in a newspaper article. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:17, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Lack of a Knowledge entry does not mean they aren't notable. Just no one took the time to write one. Dream Focus 08:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
You've misunderstood my point, Dream Focus. I'm actually saying that the clubs Cossde lists above should probably have their own articles. What I'm saying we shouldn't have is some sort of catch all article on the concept of "clubs at school X" unless reliable sources have discussed the concept of "clubs at school X". This is a well established requirement for List articles, as explained in WP:LISTN and in numerous AfDs. What we should have is articles on each notable club, individually, then a list in the main article that has links to those individual articles. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:50, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG, founder of a really small party (5.688 votes in 2008) whose higher seat is a member in a third-level political assembly in Italy Vituzzu (talk) 22:39, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
PS: the pages has been created and then (mainly) maintained by him, who is supposed to join this afd soon.--Vituzzu (talk) 22:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Oppose, well, the article isn't well written, especially due to the fact that a "supporter" is was the main author, I think that's obvious. But nevertheless the article shouldn't be deleted, since Seppi surely reaches our requirements for notability.
Vituzzu writes that Seppi is a member in a third-level political assembly. That's from a strictly hierarchical viewpoint correct, but fails to explain that this "third-level political assembly" is not some minor negligible institution, but the parliament of an autonomous province (South Tyrol) with a destinctly high level of legislative competencies. Secondly, every member of the South Tyrolian parliament is automatically member of the (second-level) regional assembly of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol (which is by the way - speaking in terms of realpolitik - far less important than the former...). As far as I know politicians at these levels are considered surely notable at en.wikipedia, kind of obvious when we have a look at Category:Members of the Idaho House of Representatives...
Additionally, he is a quite controversial politician (I think the photo in the article speaks for itself, his communication techniques are based on a self-portrayal as a tough defender of the South Tyrolean Italianity), and thus he can't be considered a silent backbencher, since his activities gain (on a South Tyrolean level) a broad press coverage. Just as an example the hits for his name in the archive of the Italian-language newspaper of the province Alto Adige: . Unfortunately other media in the province don't have a openly accessible archive... --Mai-Sachme (talk) 07:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Oppose per Mai-Sachme. Seppi is a notable politician, both for his role and his character, in a country where regions and autonomous provinces play a big role. That's especially true for the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (or South Tyrol). I know that in it.Wiki politicians like Seppi are not considered encyclopedic, but fortunately this is not it.Wiki but en.Wiki. --Checco (talk) 18:24, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep; meets WP:POLITICIAN: "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This will also apply to those who have been elected but not yet sworn into such offices." He holds a province-wide office, which nobody seems to dispute. There's also been some coverage in Italian and German, although most of it is trivial. I'm willing to cede the benefit of the doubt and assume that there is more significant coverage in reliable provincial sources not available online. --Batard0 (talk) 13:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

The once source that was supplied (since removed) was to a wiki. Unable to find any reliable sources discussing the drink in a significant manner. Found several blogs that have the recipe but those are not reliable sources and just finding a recipe does not automatically confer notability. SQGibbon (talk) 19:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - Agreed, I searched with Google News and Books but found insignificant results. However, as mentioned by the nominator, I found three recipes here, here (found this link while searching "Dr Pepper Shandy") and here but nothing significant such as the history. The link that the nominator removed is this cocktailmaking.co.uk link which provides nothing useful. Considering that it is not actually connected to Dr. Pepper, it wouldn't be appropriate to redirect, although the beverage is its namesake. This beverage is not notable at this time.

A single closed church building in Manhattan is hardly notable. Furthermore, a google search reveals that there are several St Jerome's Churches in Manhattan. I was unable to find any substantial secondary source coverage of this particular building, and do not see any reason for it to be included.

X-factor UK is being televised and encouraging a rash of articles about the contestants before they achieve independent notability. This case is unusual, because the article is about a 2011 self-published album by a current X-Factor contestant, released for download 12 months before anyone knew of her. It gets several recent mentions in the press, because it had to be removed from I-Tunes. Maybe the best (and only) mention in any depth is this recent article. The track 'Last Night' has probably had significantly more coverage because it was sung during the audition stage of X-factor. I would argue that the album, in comparison, has been largely unnoticed. Does not meet WP:NMUSIC criteria. Sionk (talk) 20:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. — Frankie (talk) 20:32, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Strong Keep: It does meet WP:NMUSIC criteria. The album has peaked to number 22 on the UK Albums Chart and number 72 on the Irish Albums Chart and does meet WP:NMUSIC. The album has also received coverage. Greenock125 (talk) 17:07, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Strong Keep: This is a charting album which would have done even better, had it not been deleted: "Spraggan’s independently released 2011 album, Top Room At The Zoo...is also the sixth biggest selling album of the week" Gnu andrew (talk) 06:28, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

So where's the evidence of strong coverage to back up the 'strong keep's? Charting isn't sufficient in itself to pass WP:NMUSIC. Sionk (talk) 17:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
i prefer seeing the coverage, personally, but that's not what the guideline says. 86.44.49.108 (talk) 17:58, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Albums and recordings need to meet WP:GNG. Neither of the 'strong keeps' (one of whom is the author) make any argument based on WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 09:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete Looked at it and thought I'd deleted it too. Must be wishful thinking... I've removed the speedy tag as it was not actually deleted at AfD. It was speedied while at AfD, so I feel G4 does not apply. If anyone finds a contrary opinion, I won't rush to DRV. I wish the lad luck, and won't oppose when there's a real showing of notability (and an improvement in the grammar in the references...).

According to Notability (organizations and companies)

"If a company is notable, information on its products and services should generally be included in the article on the company itself, unless the company article is so large that this would make the article unwieldy."

Beyond that, the article has been primarily created and maintained by the producers of this software. In addition, the company itself is not notable enough to merit its own Knowledge article... otherwise I would suggest merging the article into the broader company article.ReformedArsenal (talk) 17:54, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There's a significant enough group of editors here who believe the topic is worthwhile that the possible linkfarming is convincingly a cleanup problem rather than a deletion problem. Renaming is possible, though I'm not sure there's a consensus here for it. Since it's essentially a "how do we organise the content" question, I thus have to give a lot of weight to the headcount.

The result was no consensus. The argument that it passes WP:N are hard to overcome. NOTNEWS is much trickier - how can one evaluate the long-term significance of a event that happened a week ago? I can't see the case that it's "routine news reporting" the way baseball games, horroscopes, or traffic reports are - one would need to make a compelling case, which isn't done here. There is, I think, a sufficient consensus that the phrase and subsequent meme should be mentioned either in an article, or in an article about the second debate (which appears to be merged into an article about all the debates at the moment). I can't tell which from this discussion, because both positions rely strongly on guessing what may come, partisan assertions. The argument that it's POV to merely have an article on the topic would need a compelling argument, not just a straightforward assertion, given that the sources come from across the political spectrum. If it was only far left sources repeating it, I would be inclined to give that position serious weight - not so much when it's the Globe & Mail. As with every article, merger remains an editorial possibility if a local consensus agrees to it (since people often ask this be stated explicitly). I wasn't able to detect a trend that way in the discussion - but it's tricky, because the sources kept appearing as the discussion continued, which may have changed the calculus is a way that a discussion like this, with much heat but little light, didn't illuminate.

This is nothing more than Silly season garbage that is highly unlikely to last any longer than the lame Big Bird issue from a few days prior. This is an attempt by the left to attack Mitt Romney and push the continued fictional "War on Womnen". As such, the use of WP to push political memes is highly inappropriate, however if for some crazy reason this becomes something huge it can be added at a later time. At a very maximum this should be covered in the presidential debate article as it is not worthy of its own page. Arzel (talk) 12:46, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Could you clarify what content should be merged? The phrase is already mentioned in that article. --BDD (talk) 20:37, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Not really, as the subject isn't my area of expertise, but since AfD is not cleanup, that doesn't matter. If information is verifiable by reliable sources, it can potentially have a place on Knowledge. --Ritchie333 09:29, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

merge into an appropriate article. If there's a separate article on the debate, that'd be a good destination, otherwise, the article on the 2012 Presidential Race. Its obvious based on NOTNEWS that a separate article isn't warranted. But given that its received mainstream media coverage (NBCNews.com had an article, I assume its already in this article), so its reasonable to have a paragraph or so somewhere, and to have the phrase not be a red-link. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to Second U.S. presidential debate of 2012. The phrase is already covered appropriately in other articles; if it becomes more notable on its own, well, then the article can always be recreated. (I'll also note that This is an attempt by the left to attack Mitt Romney and push the continued fictional "War on Womnen" in the AfD request is not a valid rationale for deletion; partisan opinions in either direction are not relevant to the deletion process.)

  • Delete Inconsequential malapropism, not noticed immediately after by any of the serious media; no person with room-temp IQ failed to understand what he meant, womens' resumes. Definitely an awkward phrase, but no hidden meaning or substantial significance. Online barrage of Bill Clinton jokes afterward amusing, not exactly historic. WP editors' spin to conflate this and link to "Gender studies"?? "Misogyny"???? and "Feminism" just ridiculous (and it isn't a "Controversy"). Text at Debate article too long and WP:UNDUE, considering major substantial issues discussed and actual newsworthy disputes. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • delete While I absolutely don't agree that this article is "attempt by the left to attack Mitt Romney", as the first post puts it, it's a fine example of the power of the Internet to make something out of practically nothing, an attempt for a fleeting bit of notoriety. The phrase will be gone in a matter of days, and the navel-gazing articles shortly thereafter. This one should be first to go. If it's worth anything at all in the long run (questionable), it should be mentioned in an article about the debate.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Dead on accurate description of the overnight phenom., and what the pop-culture references in newspapers were all about. Some pretty funny stuff, too, of no consequence, and probably already over. Once reported on, though, you have had several extreme nasty and humorless attempt to turn this into something else, and the WP article as written is an example. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 15:33, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
However silly the use of Romney's poor phrasing is, it's still an event that received large amounts of media coverage. Suggesting that it's of no consequence and probably already over is WP:CRYSTALBALLing; indeed, it's still prominently on the front pages of MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, two days after the debate. Maybe it'll die out in a few days. Maybe it'll get more traction like the equally overblown "You didn't build that". I don't see why we wouldn't cover it in the appropriate articles. (But still agree that it's undue for it to have its own page at this time.) – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 15:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep: In terms of notability, that's established by all the references. Beyond the notability, the statement is significant because Romney's claim that he sought names of qualified women has been disputed (those who dispute claim is that the names were provided unsolicited). I don't think we have to wait a year before determining notability. This is similar to the You didn't build that article, which survived an AFD. Sometimes simple expressions become notable, and the threshold for notability does not have to rise to the level of the notability of Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy. Victor Victoria (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
So now that is part of the "controversy" as well? Only a conservative could be criticised by the left for trying to be inclusive of women Facepalm Facepalm. Arzel (talk) 17:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Romney did not just solicit help from MASSGap, and the MASSGap effort expanded once Romney signalled he wanted their help.

Questions are marginal; dispute over percent credit for what every involved party agrees was a collaborative effort, enthusiastically adopted by Romney. Not like affirmative action, as he merely made a huge effort to make sure women got a fair hearing, and that produced results. There were no quotas, no set-asides.--Anonymous209.6 (talk) 05:47, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. Several editors are conflating or confusing two different things. The overnight outbreak of humorous postings and jokes about the awkward phrase, while nowhere on the evening of the debate, WAS reported the next morning (and by some News sources that missed it because of deadline, the next evening or morning). THAT is distinct from leftist attack groups buying domains (the ultra-left Soros PAC), and trying to now use and divert that humorous blip to make up connections. The former got general attention, was fun and short and is over. The latter exists in a nasty partisan bubble, is crude and nasty, was not a serious part of the discussion, and only still happens due to Democratic campaign push. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 17:42, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

No relation to You didn't build that, which crystallized a major long-term criticism of Obama, and caught on precisely because it so neatly summarized in his own words a perceived antipathy to American business.

Romney did not go out of his way to solicit women's resumes from just ONE source. The idea was out there, Romney ran with it. There is an argument over how much credit belongs to who, but not that Romney did not make women a priority. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 05:47, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep So this is how it works on wikipedia? I make a few edits to add content, essentially quotes, from mainstream media that put this in perspective, and an editor named Anonymous209 immediately deletes them. And then I come over to see the argument for deletion of the article and he is aggressively pushing to delete it. The name should be changed to 409 because this is an obvious effort to sanitize wikipedia of this information. I didn't even get a chance to go into how shows the media storm this article has. Yes, that's current. We can't know whether this incident will be a memorable, long term issue that affects the presidential election, something to be discussed and learned from; or if it will be something that dies away. We can discuss that later, IF it fades away. At the moment, its big and significant. Well documented, well sourced. At this time there is zero rationale to delete it. It would be further documented and explained had my edits been allowed to stay. TruthtellernoBS (talk) 19:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Above I mentioned the name of Anonymous209, who I feel abused his authority by deleting sourced content I had added. To show you what a POV pushing, lowlife this Anonymous209 is, he further went into my other contributions, few as they are documented (after I registered), he removed a bunch more of my contributions. I would equate that to stalking. Certainly he's lost all credibility and journalistic integrity. We should discount all of his aggressive negative commentary here and elsewhere. I would guess you have a system to ban people like this. If he persists, I'll have to learn how that works. TruthtellernoBS (talk) 16:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I cleaned up on civility. Arzel, you and your Anonymous cohort are both deliberately deleting additions to the article while advocating for its deletion. You call it "silly season garbage" but when an explanation for why this is actually significant is (re) posted by multiple editors, you edit war and delete it. Perhaps you feel this weakening of the article supports your claim to delete the article. Actually what this activity does is weaken your position; that you have to artificially (attempt to) hide content in order to reduce the significance of the ariticle. This reveals both of your POV, while at the same time is quite improper. TruthtellernoBS (talk) 00:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

There are countless reliable sources describing this thing; I am uncomfortable with political statements in deletion nominations, such as contentious "fictional War on Women" comments.

  • Delete "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy... Tear down this wall!, Read my lips: no new taxes" .. and to some extent "You didn't build that, " are all phrases that people who don't care about the absurd politics game have heard of. This rubbish is not. Knowledge does not need to duplicate everything on wikiquote, or encyclopediadramatica.se. Nevard (talk) 06:47, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - article fulfills WP:NEO which stipulates that "...to support an article about a particular term we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term, not books and papers that use the term" (emphasis mine). The countless scores of international reliable secondary sources that have written about "Binders full of women" do exactly that: the term "Binders full of women" is thoroughly explained in context, analyzed and interpreted (e.g. 1, 2 3, 4). The term is not just merely used. Thus this term has fulfilled Knowledge's inclusion criteria for neologisms. Amsaim (talk) 15:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete and redirect to the article about the second presidential debate. Contrary to what User:Amsaim said above, this is not a neologism. A neologism has "not yet been accepted into mainstream language". This is merely a phrase composed of well-accepted words combined in a well-accepted way. "Binders full of women" is just a quote or sound byte, unsuitable as the title of an article about the second presidential debate. Per WP:NOT, "If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote."Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep The meme itself is notable by RS and GNG (or at least overcovered online in the past week). Per WP:TIND, this article has WP:POTENTIAL and should stay up. This AfD share much in common with You didn't build that—in this moment, it's notable. If that changes, re-nominate for AfD then. czar · · 00:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Czar, I think you're overlooking something important. The result of Knowledge:Articles for deletion/2012 Roanoke Obama campaign speech was not to have two different articles on the same subject. Rather, the result was to rename the article about the speech so the new title is "You didn't build that". Here, it makes no sense to rename the article about the second presidential debate so that its new title is "Binders of women", and no one is suggesting that.Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:31, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I noticed that, and no one suggested renaming the debate article. YDBT was moved because the Roanoke speech had no notability otherwise—it was known for the sound bite. Here the debate has notability and, for now, the sound bite has independent, non-inherited notability as well. I related the two because they had similar WP:POTENTIAL going into their AfDs, but one has had more time to develop since. WP:ASSUMECLUE czar · · 16:08, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
I don't agree that such a recent and mild utterance is notable, but even if it were, WP:N says: "This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article." Here, the "Binders full of women" phrase can be easily merged into the article about the 2012 debates (just as the article about the second debate has been merged into the article about the 2012 debates). Do you really think that the "Binders full of women" is more article-worthy than the entire debate in which it occurred?.Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
No. I never suggested that. BFoW is a spinout of the debate: separate articles. Whether you or I think it's notable doesn't matter—by policy, BFoW has RS (ergo notable by GNG) and doesn't conflict with other policy (including WP:NEO or WP:CRYSTAL's text). It can exist on its own. Elevate the argument to WP:COMMON and we can go back and forth: my position was and is only that this event is at least currently very notable (as evidenced by its great number of RS refs) with great WP:POTENTIAL for expansion, and since there is no rush, we can afford to wait a bit to see if it loses that moment's notability before striking it down. czar · · 00:51, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

If you haven't noticed the edit war being carried on by Arzel and Annonymous, you are playing right into their efforts to remove content from the article.

These are candidates for the highest office of the country; everything they do, say, eat, joke about, slip up over is going to be printed and reprinted hundreds of time over by the end of the day.

  • Point of Order. Important to remind editors that BfoW is in fact not ONE thing but two, awkwardly and artificially shoehorned together. Fortunately, BOTH lead not just to Delete, but to speedy delete.
    1. Overnight bloom of stupid B or H Clinton/Heffner/Beyonce jokes. This is the "thing" that got press, notice, crept into popular consciousness. The press it got is not in doubt, just that, since it is clearly a bunch of stupid (but funny) Clinton jokes, it does not belong on WP, and should have been speedy deleted as per WP:CSD#A7, an inconsequential report of and inconsequential web content bloom. There are editors who argue the whole Article should be deleted, as that is the only notable part of the article, and are consistent. Have noticed, though that editors who argue that the Article should remain often then argue either by word or action (deleting refs to the notable part as inconsequential) for deletion on the page. Either the stupid internet jokes need to be prominently displayed and discussed in the article as per WP:UNDUE, OR the notability arguments have to be dropped, since this was most of the mainstream coverage, by far.
    2. Awkward attempt to shoehorn partisan attacks The press was about the former, the latter emerged once the stupid Clinton jokes got people's attention (and who doesn't like a stupid Clinton joke). The former is Notability without consequence/substance, the latter is an attempt to make up context/consequence, but with no notability. The effort does not really work and has not made it to mainstream consciousness, precisely for the reasons elaborated on Talk; they don't make much sense. Romney massively recruited women; hence, binders of resumes. The attempts to shoehorn something negative are artificial and contrived, and are unequivocally simply a groundless attack page, which also needs to be speedy deleted as per WP:CSD#G10, WP:CSD#G11--Anonymous209.6 (talk) 21:08, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

        • It doesn't need to be a "turning point" to be notable, nor does it need to receive post-election analysis. Hindsight is not necessary; if notability is already established now, there is no sense in waiting for any further confirmation. Everyking (talk) 18:26, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
          • You are missing my main point: this is an event that took place in the course of an election. Context is important. Whether or not this is notable to secure its own article, rather than merge into the debates article or the election article can only be based on looking back and analyzing the event's effects. Otherwise, the standard would be: any statement that received coverage is notable, which doesn't make sense in terms of having independent articles. Why doesn't Obama's "arrows and horses" comment not deserve an article, or Romney's "corporations are people, my friend". We just don't know what the effects were until we can actually ask that question - which is after the election. Otherwise... this is nothing more than a news report. -- Lord Roem (talk) 18:46, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep -- has achieved widespread coverage in reliable sources, i.e., notability. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep fully sufficient coverage in its own right--quite apart from the political context & the great notability of the person who said it, the phrase is so inherently funny as being used in a serious context with such remarkably wrong connotations, that it will be not just notable but famous even after which candidate said it is long forgotten. This AfD isanother example of Wikipedians takingthemselves so seriously they don't know what is important. DGG ( talk ) 05:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Unnecessary disambiguation page. The first entry is a red link. The second entry is a stretch to say that anyone searching "YIH" would be looking for that topic. The third and fourth would be red links if the entries were done properly (Yih (surname), Yih (given name)). The fifth entry has no related article (and really, if someone is searching about the number 1, they are not going to search "Yih"). Finally, the last entry can be dealt with by a redirect (since none of the other entries on this page are proper search terms). Singularity42 (talk) 11:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

The result was merge. I intend to take a rather extreme approach to this merger, probably nothing more than a abbreviated version of the lead.

  • Keep or Merge to List of Eyeshield 21 characters. The description of the manga as "obscure" is clearly false, as Eyeshield 21 ran for years in Weekly Shonen Jump, which is probably the most prominent manga magazine, and was adapted into a television show that ran for over 100 episodes. It clearly appears to be a notable franchise (the main Eyeshield 21 article has plenty of references). This seems to be a section of List of Eyeshield 21 characters, which I'm guessing was split due to the length of the article. Having a character list for a notable franchise seems clearly appropriate, and since this portion of the list contains the main characters, it should be kept in some form. It looks like the article could be trimmed down and improved, and perhaps it should be merged with the main character list if they wouldn't be too long together. Calathan (talk) 18:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to List of Eyeshield 21 characters. Seems this list was created to keep the crufty "Techniques and strategies" sections along with other trivial details of each player that were removed from the original list.

  • Merge per Naruto. A news search reveals a reasonable amount of coverage in gaming sources that I would consider reliable for the purposes of this article, but I think it's all ultimately trivial mentions. There's not one article I can find that treats the subject with any depth. Hence I think it fails the WP:GNG requirements but could see anything verifiable being used in the list article. --Batard0 (talk) 12:47, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Already covered in Employment. Any expansion should happen there if there is something missing from that article (with reliable sources, not one self-published by the article creator). Fails WP:OR as the only source is the article creator's own blog, from which the article is basically copied. This leads to the suspicion that this article was created solely for the purpose of promoting the creator's blog. Harry the Dog WOOF 08:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Employment. For now, anyway. The subject is one that could potentially be the subject of its own article at some point in time. However at this point in time the article is just a dictionary definition copied from someone's website, which wouldn't be a reliable source even if there weren't concerns of COI and copyvio. There's some definite promotional undertones to this, as the website just so happens to be soliciting its services and products for various people. As far as any COI goes, I want to stress that the original article creator is someone who does web design and designed the website for Oakbridge. This is pretty much a further attempt to promote the company. All that aside, like I said- there is merit in expanding that section about employee relations from the Employment page. This just isn't the way to go about it. Unless someone else can expand the content using reliable sources I'm willing to change my opinion, but as the article is now? Nuke it.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:05, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete: Blatantly self-promotional OR that has zero utility as the basis of a future spinoff article. Right now, it's just a WP:DICDEF and WP:CFORK whose primary purpose is to promote the business interests of the articles creator, and based solely on one extremely unreliable source. Best to flush it entirely, and build any future spin-off article on clean soil, rather than trying to salvage and expand on anything here. No evidence that a spin-off article is justified at the present time. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 13:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Don't delete the title. Keep it if someone rework the article to make it useful (which it definitely isn't, due to the problems that Harry identifies), or redirect per Tokyogirl if not. Remember that titles should only be deleted if they're not going to be useful redirects. Due to the copyright issue (there's an OTRS pending template at the talk page), if redirecting be the solution, it might be safest to delete this and immediately recreate it as a redirect. Nyttend (talk) 13:53, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • What concerns me is that even if the text is usable without copyright issues, I'm not sure that this is really all that usable as a reliable source in the grand scheme of things. Probably better to just toss it and re-write it entirely.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to industrial relations also known as employment relations and "employee relations" . This page was created as an advertisement for one self-published book (now removed). Whether HRM and IR/ER is the same topic or not is indeed a matter of some debate , depending how one defines HRM . However clearly we do not need a 3rd article on the topic using "employee" instead of "employment". Tijfo098 (talk) 19:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • There is ample coverage about this, as Google news archive search easily finds. There are job titles of "employee relations manager", "Adviser- Employee Relations", and "Employee Relations Supervisor". If someone wanted to write out more information than would fit in the employment article, I'd say keep. If not, it seems to be covered over there. Just redirect for now, and if enough information is added, make it into a content fork later on. Dream Focus 22:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to industrial relations, which is the same topic. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:19, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect/Merge to industrial relations. The article itself says it's synonymous with "employment relations" (which redirects to industrial relations); Knowledge articles are normally about things/concepts, not terms, and having two articles about the same thing is a form of content forkery. — Ƶ§œš¹ 16:23, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to industrial relations. Professionally speaking, I understand the differences in the various terms from a labor market perspective. That said, in reality, the definition varies from one culture to the next. Having worked in state government with California and Washington State, I am aware that both state labor markets define the terms differently. The terms additionally differentiate from one region and one country to the next. It is clear that this article was created to highlight and promote one organization's interpretation of the terms used. At this point, the content is not differentiated to the point that a separate article presenting one view would be universally understood or accepted. Until that point, I recommend redirecting to industrial relations, which currently appears to serve as a "catchall". Cindy(talk to me) 18:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Spammy/promotional article about non-notable company. Biker Biker (talk) 06:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. Non-notable is definitely not true in this case. The article is a bit over the top and could use more references but AUTOart is definitely a big player in the diecast car world. Visit any decent hobby store that sells car models over $100 and you will see a string of AUTOart models - at least that has been my experience in Australia, Hong Kong and the UK.  Stepho  talk  14:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. AUTOart is an influential and controversial company that needs to be included in Knowledge. There are many other articles on toys and miniatures that are less influential than AUTOart. Most are well-written and toy and miniature aficionados would not want them deleted. Who is to say that model car companies are 'non-notable'? The user Biker Biker apparently. Also the article is not very promotional as it deals with rough waters that the company has gone through and criticisms of the company. Thus, the request for deletion is not at all well defined.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 03:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Martin Sargent. The CNN source is great, but the other two sources on the article aren't usable to show notability for this show. I do notice that Sargent's article needs work, but I think that we could probably cobble together enough sources to show notability for him as a result of his shows and the column he ran for Wired magazine. But for this particular show? As fun as the show sounded, it just isn't notable per current Knowledge rules due to a lack of sources.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:03, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Martin Sargent - Google Books provided nothing useful but Google News provided several links here (extremely minor), here (also minor) and a press release here (first result from the top but requires payment). This appears to be the only evidence of third-party coverage.

Per WP:BEFORE, the nominator should not have evaluated the article purely on its current state but should have searched for sources, though if the search was just made for the phrase "in decay" without the musician's name, it would be easy to miss those because of the false positives for such a common phrase.

  • Comment The viewpoint was more neutral in September 2012, before the edits by 213.83.74.60 (microfocus-internap-cpe.altohiway.com). However, the article has always lacked secondary sources. 85.131.104.149 (talk) 10:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable. Has 3 pages in this book: . Also a half-page blurb here, but not that other notable product only have a similar amount of coverage there; for comparison ClearCase (right above it) has even less space allocated. Included a similar round-up of notable products here I found a review from 1997 (for version 2.1) in Infoworld here. Another review in a featured round-up in PC Magazine in 2002. You can find more coverage in google books if you search for StarTeam and SCM. I seems to me the editors discussing above have put very little effort in WP:BEFORE. Tijfo098 (talk)

Keep. I went to http://www.google.co.in and searched. There is a mention in a WHO report. Following the citation there, I found in-depth coverage here. That source is an independent one, funded by Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, Rockefeller foundation, and others. There is more significant coverage, of an award for the group, at The Economic Times, which, looking at the top left corner of the website, is a publication of the Times of India, the country's largest English newspaper. There is more here, an entire article from Technology Review published by MIT, rather obviously credible. If we consider the Futon bias, and the fact that the group operates in a place where Internet penetration is low and hence reliable sources more likely to be offline or in the local language, I think there is little room to question significant coverage in multiple reliable, third-party sources, the criterion for WP:GNG.

  • Do Not Delete - Do not Delete, Saalome Global has been fully verified and article is a work in progress. Any American company that was or still is involved in oil Exploration on the Mississippian Lime formation is considered monumental as it is the largest oil exploration project in US history — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.112.241 (talk) 11:59, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete Saalome Global - I am Kayden and I started added somethings to this article that may not have been able to be verified by online sources. This company does list proper sources and I will make sure to wait until publish certain facts when the kansas press releases are sent online. This article involves key people in United States oil that have yet to be posted on Knowledge. I do agree with the above opinion that the original person who asked for deletion is not a credible person and has absolutely no knowledge of American History, Entrepreneurship, as well as Wiki Standard. I will be expanding on articles of T.Boone Pickens, and Creating one for Providence Energy Corporation who is headed by Mike Allen and his son Luke Allen as well As Jeff Crook and Orange Energy Consultants. These are key players in the American Economy and are relevant to the Obama Administration as well as the Pickens Plan. I can not be expected to do an article in 2 days and so please give me time, at least a few weeks. Orange mike seems to be very harsh and like I said I believe he abuses wiki standard. I have modified the article and will resubmit it in a month when the magazine goes on line, if it does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaydenemalee (talk • contribs) 12:25, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
regurgitation of press releases is not "significant coverage by independent sources". -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • ORANGE MIKE I have read your page and please provide a response to me on a couple things. First, what gives you the right to ask for a page deletion when I have only started working on it. Second, what makes you think that your views of deletion are to be held supior over others when I think you spend all your time looking to delete pages. What is your opion on free information distribution and if the great encyclopedias of our time with held information like you do, it would be no different than burining books like the times of old. Do you think that just because you attend a bunch of classes you can be taken seriously. Please respond to your comments as well.......* I am considered to be toward the "deletionist" end of the inclusionist-deletionist spectrum, because I believe that many articles here (including not only new ones but many existing ones) are violations of our standards: how-to guides and game manuals, fan trivia, in-universe fiction summaries, obscure porn actor biographies, politician self-aggrandisement, memorials, original essays masquerading as scholarship, etc. When I say I am a bit of a deletionist, I mean that I hold articles here to higher standards of notability, verifiability, etc. than some other editors. (And yes, our servers are overloaded, and the problem's not getting any better.) I'd rather see fewer articles, better researched and better written. I am really glad to help other editors in any way I can, though; and please don't hesitate to contact me. Also, as the person said above what gives you the credibility and knowlege to say something lack notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaydenemalee (talk • contribs) 13:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
    The way to avoid deletion of your article is to show that the subject has coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. See WP:CORP. I guarantee that complaining that OrangeMike is a deletionist will do absolutely no good whatsoever. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • delete - no third party coverage found to indicate notability. current sources are merely primary source documentation to indicate existance of company. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:10, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete OK guys go ahead and delete this page if it really is wrong. I just spent a lot of time researching it and as far as notability, I think at least the CEO is considered notable. And I agree with Floquenbeam about complaining about Orange Mike. It is just he can not be taken seriously as an administrator because he is openly saying he tries to go outside of Wiki policy. As far a notability, at least the CEO has that. He is the CEO of at least 2 other national companies and a middle distance runner that can be proved online. How can I be expected to put all this in there in 2 days? What determines notability? I read Wiki policy before I started and was sure I followed procedure. I am sorry ok.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaydenemalee (talk • contribs) — Kaydenemalee (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Kayden, you don't seem to understand anything about how we work. My language which you quote with such indignation, is a full disclosure of my philosophical and strategic position, within the boundaries of Knowledge policies and procedures, on the eternal debate among Wikipedians about how far we should stretch our limited resources. There is no "freedom of speech" right to use somebody else's resources to house a conglomeration of regurgitated press releases about a person and a company that might be notable someday maybe if things work out. I also note that Dustin Croghan himself wrote this article in the first place, in violation of our warnings about autobiography and conflict of interest. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - Zero references, not even a press release. It's a real corporation. The website is fantastic. Very odd there is no press coverage. As for Croghan, I only found a Dustin D. Croghan of Douglas County, Nebraska reported in Omaha World-Herald, May 2, 2006, age 25, $500 fine for reckless driving. Saalome Global Croghan is from Kansas, not Nebraska, so there does not appear to be any source information on CEO Dustin Croghan. The topic does not meet WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
      • comment the rhetoric on the website is grand and vague and glorious; but the fact content is pretty low (apparently they also install burglar alarms).

The company lacks significant secondary coverage as required under WP:GNG and also lacks WP:CORPDEPTH. No significant secondary-source coverage could be found in a search. Additionally I have doubts about the claims under the "awards" section: the company is said to have won Microsoft Developer Partner of the Year in 2008 and 2009 and was a runner-up in another category those same years. This listing of 2008 winners from Microsoft makes no mention of the company. I could be looking at the wrong set of awards, but I think this still fails the normal notability test.

  • Delete - After an extensive search with both Google News Zimbabwe and US and searching with terms "Zimbabwe", "2007" and "company", I found one but minor result. However, when I started searching with "1st Runner-Up ICT Company of the Year 2011", I found this and this which also supports the "Top Web Developer of the Year" claim. At the second link, one of the comments by a "Mukuru Mukuru" (obviously affiliated with the company) claims the company won "Microsoft Developer Partner of the Year 2008/2009" but, of course, citing a user's comment would be unreliable. Aside from the two links I found above, the other information seems to be supported by the company's claims therefore primary. It is possible that additional sources may not be English, but I doubt it, African countries and companies will use English to conduct business, especially with technology.

Fails WP:Notability. A passing mention in a Seattle P-I editorial is the only coverage I could find in Questia, HighBeam, Gale, and ProQuest. Here is brief mention in a local blog.

Non-notable company, nearly all of the current references are primary or insufficient. Nearly all of the results that Google News found are press releases with two non-English links, but they (the non-English links) appear to be insufficient. Unfortunately, Google News archives also provided press releases. The best source I have found is this D Magazine article, mentioning information that is currently displayed, the 1996 establishment, 2007 award, and something new, "Alt-N’s server is now the fifth most-used in the world" which may be notable, but this appears to be the only useful source. Google Books found one small mention here and two mentions through another book here. A possibility is redirecting the article to their product, MDaemon.

However, Google News results for MDaemon also show press releases. Google News archives for the product revealed one useful source here and the other results are non-English so I wouldn't know how useful those are. Although it appeared that MDaemon was a popular product, I have found more press releases than useful sources so both Alt-N and MDaemon may be non-notable. Any thoughts?

I just tried a google search using "MDaemon review" and a variety of non press release articles came up. A glanced at articles from BerryReview.com, ZDNet.com, ServerWatch.com, and messagingnews.com. I didn't look past the first page of results. The company used to be a subsidiary of Research in Motion, and the article used to redirect to the RIM page with a section about it, so that in itself seems fairly notable. -Dwimble (talk) 16:08, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. There aren't enough sources to even write a proper history of the company. The products, obscure as they are, have their own pages. I've nominated RelayFax for deletion as well, by the way. MDaemon looks like it ekes by the notability guideline. Most reviews are ancient though; and it looks like the company which sold it initially was called http://deerfield.com. Tijfo098 (talk) 09:53, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
  • Keep - agree there are no sources at the moment but WP:BEFORE probably applies here as this looks to be a WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM sort of problem:
  • This book has a section on the subject in Chapter 2 (though Google Books is not letting me link directly to the pages in question)
  • This document from local county archives is about the subject almost entirely (in Swedish).
  • This is from the "Norwegian Encyclopaedia" though I wouldn't know enough about the source to arbitrarily proclaim it "reliable".
On balance, I would be inclined to think the subject probably does (perhaps just) meet notability guidelines, though I agree the article could do with some work. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - the source Fylke commune archive (Norwegian, not Swedish, actually) is certainly reliable, and it provides both a history and the text of the poem by Henrik Wergeland about Mor Sæther, so I guess that's 2 sources we can rely on. Store Norske Leksikon ("Great Norwegian Dictionary") seems to be also a good and serious source; it is actually the short version, as there's an Utdypning (further...) which names additional sources:
    • K. Haugholt: “Mor Sæther”, i St. Hallvard 1958, s. 270–287
    • O. Bø: Folkemedisin og lærd medisin, 1973
    • P. Holck: Norsk folkemedisin, 1996
as well as mentioning the use of parish archives and identifying portraits (a lithograph by Gottlief Friedrich Fehr on page 181 of Holck's book). So I think we have more than enough to clear WP:GNG and indeed we should be able to make a really nice article out of it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:01, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
