Unsourced. Nothing but a dicdef and OR. I can't see any way for this not to be dicdeffery. Ten Pound Hammer • 23:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's a 'thing' not just a term and there's more there than a dicdef. --Michig (talk) 07:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article needs to be developed, referenced, etc., but this is a type of album which is important as a marketing tool in its own right, and some times (eg UK various artists compilations in the late 60s/ early 70s, and late 70s/ early 80s) has contributed significantly to the development of popular culture.

  • Keep. This is linked in {{Infobox album}} in every album article of type "compilation". —Bruce1ee 12:01, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep, as per all comments above. While the article here currently mightn't be great, it's an essential part of the music industry. K-tel, solely in the compilation record world, was Business Week magazine's 1994 "7th best publicly traded company in the US, based on growth and profitability." -- Zanimum (talk) 23:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep I may not understand the nominator's rationale, but I believe he says that he intend to nominate anything for deletion, be it an influential king or a high-profilic novelist, that is unsourced and contains original research (eg Edgar Wallace).--GoPTN 09:11, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Has he specifically stated this as his intentions? While unsourced and OR are bad practice, obviously, is there any way AfD organizers can just instantly close his requests, if this truly is a habit? He needs to learn how to add templates to pages, like the rest of us, not waste people's time. (I only end up on AfD every few months, whenever something I've edited in the past decade appears, so I had no idea of this being common practice for him.) -- Zanimum (talk) 16:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Created by a blocked, likely paid-editor sockmaster and group account, I'd like to ask that the notability be considered carefully, as it's not entirely clear if this author is notable, or, if he is, what for. 86.** IP (talk) 19:51, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Authors-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 00:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
  • If the subject is notable, a legitimate author will eventually write an article. No need to reward sockpuppetry and possibly payola with allowing there works to stand. Thought experiment: we allow the article to stand, the paid author gets paid, gets a new internet provider, gets a new account, and does it again. Not good. Thought experiment: we delete the article, paid author does not get paid, goes away. Or gets paid, but clients then complain that the article about them is no longer there and wants their money back. I'm going to have to !vote delete on the ground of not encouraging bad behavior. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
    Comment Paid editing is not a deletion criterion, as far as I know. Can you direct us to the guideline that says it is? Per WP:ATTP, please address the article, not the editor--what policy based concerns about the article's content do you have? Thanks. Valfontis (talk) 17:59, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
    Arguably, WP:CSD#G11 and WP:NOTADVERTISING. It's hard to say that hiring a PR flack to put something on Knowledge isn't advertising. Anyway, though, this one also has major notability issues. 86.** IP (talk) 19:23, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
    To be clear, I was addressing UtherSRG (should have indented), as you had already asked us to consider notability carefully, which I did. But thank you. I hate spam, but since this isn't a !vote, we have to argue here based on policy and guidelines. Sometimes it is possible to salvage something useable from a spammy article. Valfontis (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
    WP:IAR. Put aside WP:ATTP for the moment. Is my logic above sound? Do we want to encourage paid writers and their bias, or do we want to weed them out? While I agree that most of the time, we can ignore the author, but when doing so threatens the foundation of the project, we most certainly can not. If the subject is notable, there will, in time, be a proper article written by a proper author. Until then, we should feel free to discourage improper authors from writing articles, because to do otherwise encourages improper articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 05:00, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

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

His only claim to notability is that he was the son of C J Hambro; this is insufficient for his own article; 5 years as a journalist, a few as a university lecturer, a few as a minor diplomat - in all of which fields he was non-notable; cultural output was also minor. It is doubtful that he would be included in Store norske leksikon were it not for who his father was. He was not a notable philologist. A few words could reasonably be added to his mention in his father's article, but to say in that article that this chap got a degree in philology, worked as a university lecturer, then as a diplomat, translator, university lecturer again, and wrote a few novels, would be too much I think. Mountainousgoat (talk) 19:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep, an entry in a paper(-turned online) encyclopedia is cited; award-winning translator. Geschichte (talk) 09:29, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. An individual with his own entry in the second most comprehensive Norwegian-language encyclopedia (now online-only, because of the success of WP) does not automatically merit an entry in WP. This chap's work as a diplomat, university lecturer, and philologist are not notable by Knowledge standards. Nor is winning an award sufficient. His family relation to the politician C J Hambro is certainly insufficient (WP:NOTINHERITED). But this may well have been the main reason the Store norske leksikon gave him his own article. How many other individuals does it give their own articles to who are not notable for anything other than winning the Bastian prize? List of winners is here. Many don't have their own articles either in the Leksikon or in WP. The issue comes down to whether or not his being awarded the Bastian Prize by the Norwegian Association of Literary Translators (which today has about 300 members) in 1963 makes him notable. The answer is surely no.Mountainousgoat (talk) 10:05, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Strong keep, anyone winning the Bastian prize is among the literary establishment elite of Norway which clearly merits notability. Also his own literary production is sufficient for notability. __meco (talk) 10:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
    • So each of the winners of the Bastian prize should have their own WP entry, saying where they went to university and what jobs they've done? I think that would be going way too far. By all means list them in the entry for the Bastian prize, which article incidentally doesn't even say what most of the prizewinners translated! It would not do to rush to expand Norwegian-language lists into sets of biographical articles, copying birth jobs and death info (and in the latest revision, burial info!), without much care to describe (or demonstrate) what actions and events in the person's life are really worth being recorded in WP. You can say his literary production is sufficient for notability, but where are the multiple and independent secondary sources (substantive reports or discussion) that establish this? Do you agree that he was not notable as a philologist? (In fact, did he do anything whatsoever in philology after getting his university degree? Philology - the way the term is used in English - is the diachronic study of written language. Are there any secondary sources for his philology work? Many people get university degrees.) He was certainly a member of the elite of Norway by dint of his family relations (choosing a cultural path), but this is insufficient reason to have his own article in WP. Should everyone who had a few novels published in Norway in the 1960s get their own English-language WP article? Of course, it would be possible to answer 'yes', but I would argue that WP would soon fill up with junk. Also I have just found out that when he got given the Bastian Prize by the Norwegian Association of Literary Translators in 1963, he was actually the chairman of that organisation! That suggests they did not have many other suitable candidates. As you say, he was in the establishment elite, and that was because of family connections. What he actually did in his own life was not notable in broader terms. He should be mentioned in the article on C J Hambro and the article on the Bastian Prize - that's all.Mountainousgoat (talk) 12:16, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
      • This article seems to be being expanded to include absolutely everything that supporters of its existence can find out about this chap, including who he was the grandson and uncle of, where he was buried, etc. (Why on earth should that go in?) Even if we were to accept the viewpoint that inclusion in the second most comprehensive Norwegian-language encyclopedia, and winning a Norwegian translation prize in the early 1960s from a translators' organisation of which he was chairman, indicate sufficient notability for him to have his own WP article, the inclusion of this amount of information in his article is verging on the ridiculous. All things in good proportion!
      • Please could an admin have a look at what is happening to this article. And please also can someone argue against the points I have expressed above in good faith, if they disagree with them, rather than just tipping everything they can find about the chap into the article.Mountainousgoat (talk) 19:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
        • Note that this is also a single purpose account. Geschichte (talk) 06:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
          • Indeed it is, and I am asking that my points be considered. The entry in the other encyclopedia mentioned, and the single-event award of a prize in 1963 by a very small organisation of which he was chairman, in a small-population country, are not in themselves sufficient to demonstrate notability over and above what might justify the addition of a few words to his mention in his father's article. Nor does having a degree in philology justify being described as a philologist in the article title, when he did nothing notable as a philologist. So your contribution above does not do justice to your opinion that the article should be speedily kept. I repeat my request for a fuller engagement with the issues by those who support 'keep'. Let us all consider all points and issues on their merits. Multiple reliable secondary sources demonstrating the notability of his novels would be welcome.Mountainousgoat (talk) 09:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep Article created in January 2011. Author was blocked four months later for an unrelated issue. His block one year ago notwithstanding, I looked at and gauged the topic itself. Issues brought up by the nominator in regards the original version were addressable. Mis-use of IMDB has now been replaced by reliable sources and the "validity" of the article's content has been properly confirmed. The film had a festival premiere in October 2011 as Witness Insecurity, and only two weeks ago began its theatrical distribution under the title Snitch. We can wait as its now theatrical screenings recieve additional coverage, and allow its further imptovement over time and through regular editing. Perhaps, now that someone able to address concerns has taken a hand, the nominator might consider a withdrawal? Schmidt, 21:52, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

The concept is covered in existing articles including Leet; the phenomenon of substituting letters with numbers is much older than Carino's book. bonadea contributions talk 15:32, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. There is only one hit for "Oizea code" in Google books, and it's an OCR error for veuf (French for widow). A search for "Oizea" alone returns about 280 hits, but again they all appear to be OCR errors. As bonadea suggests, substitution codes of this type are common, and Leet-speak is better covered elsewhere. Cnilep (talk) 00:39, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Strong DeleteThis style of article is just a pointless conglomeration of what otherwise would solid stand alone pages. It doesn't even show the results of the fights which honestly is the only reason people would look at the page. I don't understand why this push has recently been made, but it's an absolutely terrible idea. The previous style of an article per event was perfect, why change it to something so stupid? There is absolutely no value on this consolidated page. Pull lead (talk) 15:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep The article contains well sourced prose. Also, the nominator hasn't cited a Knowledge policy or guideline that the article violates and appears to be a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. --TreyGeek (talk) 15:31, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete This article was done in haste, has no useful information, the old articles were superior to this one in everyway, it fails to list the most important part of the article, which are the fights, and most people are against it. This new article is a giant wall of meaningless text, and lets be honest, the old way was perfect, and it worked, this does not cut it, and is also titled terribly, even if this article worked, it should be like 2012 UFC events or UFC events in 2012. The only ones who support this abombination are the ones who created it and their cronies. Change it back. And yes, you TreyGeek, and MtKing, have violated the policy you try and shove in our faces.

  • Procedural Speedy Keep - This article was created via the implied requests of admin User:DGG when closing Knowledge:Articles for deletion/UFC 149 and admin User:Beeblebrox when closing Knowledge:Articles for deletion/BAMMA 9, both of which have already publicly supported the direction that this article is taking at ANI and other places as well. It has also been discussed extensively at Knowledge talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability/Archive 2#Omnibus articles What we have here is a group tantrum that isn't based in policy, but rather, is a "keep it the way it was at all costs" campaign. The rationale for nomination is invalid from the start and doesn't specify any criteria that the article fails nor policy it runs afoul of. The nominator is either not aware of or doesn't concern himself with the weeks prior to this article's creation, and the thought and consideration from multiple admins and users that went into it, and his oversimplification of "two users" is either mistaken or misleading. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:03, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Pointing out that they are admins, and that they suggested this by implication doesn't have any bearing on the worth of this article. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:19, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Pointing out that they closed the last two AFD's saying that someone needs to create this exact article does have bearing. If you read the other AFDs and closing statements, and the other items I linked, it would make more sense, which is why I provided links. This article was created because two closing admins determined that merging them to this article (at that time, not created) is meaningful. And they have both since agreed that this article is in keeping with their closing statements, ie: it was their interpretation of the consensus of the community. In short, this article exists because the community had previously decided it should, in two separate, recent instances. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Well, you make a pretty good point there. I've just never heard how it came into being used to support continued existence. I guess I just felt that saying "admin" twice was sort of name-dropesque, as though it would give this article clout, if you see what I mean. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • No prob. I'm not always the best at communicating. To delete this article, in essence, is to overrule those two previous and recent AFDs where there had already been established consensus. More importantly, this doesn't prevent any event that is really notable from having its own page. The nay-sayers don't understand this. It just consolidates everything and serves as a spring board, so the lesser notable stuff can be KEPT instead of deleted. Ironic that this will result in more MMA info, not less, yet they are arguing against it. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - This article should remain because it passes WP:GNG, period. It can coexist with the stand-alone articles. Whether or not those articles remain is another matter. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:19, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Absolutely Keep - I was against this idea before when it had just the prose. There has always been the question of notability for these events, but with the results also entered in as they were before. I commend whoever did this. I can live with it just fine. Why have separate pages when one page will tell you the same thing? Jahahn (gab) 17:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

"coordinator for external relationships" doesn't really cut the mustard, but according to Venetian National Liberation Movement he is the Directive Council. I think that article (and others about Venetist organisations) could do with a tidy-up of their English. We might be missing something in the translation.

Why is it based on 666, other than the fact that 666 is mentioned in the Bible? Even if 666 is significant, why (10^666)!, rather than say 10^(666!)?

Much as I have read and reread this article I can see no reason for the subject passing WP:Notability; plenty of nearly met and third cousin of notables but the article presents no acts of hers out of the ordinary for a landed gentrywoman of the time. Fine ( and well-written) for a genealogical site but not for Knowledge Crusoe8181 (talk) 08:36, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Crusoe8181, Emily Austin Perry has a fully published biography written by Light T. Cummings, the Texas State Historian. Emily Austin Perry did far more than own land. Emily influenced and interacted with many famous people and, in Texas, is herself famous too. This was not just an article about just another landowner. This is an article about a famous pioneer woman who greatly built Texas at a time when women still needed men's signatures on contracts. Deleting this article would retroactively discriminate against this women rather than recognize her achievements. Emily Austin Perry was a truly notable figure. My guess is that you may not be from the US or from TX, and that perhaps you never heard of this woman-- whose home and grave is itself an official Texas State Historical Site. It also seems like you are missing the forest for the trees of this article. Perry was one of the largest Texas individual landholders and irrefutably the wealthiest woman in Texas. She was actively involved in management of the Austin estate, including investments and land,:164-5, 196-7 actively involved in a time where male signatures were still required on contracts and women could not vote. Support of land planning, railroads, and industry Perry was very involved in the urban planning and settling land. For example, she was one of the founders of the San Luis Company, which managed the development of San Luis, including the initial sale of 450 lots, development of streets, building a bridge, and construction of a lighthouse.:177 Perry raised capital and invested in the first attempt:176 to build a railroad in Texas: The Brazos and Galveston Railroad Company, chartered by the Congress of the Republic of Texas, on May 24, 1838.:176 The rail was initially to go from Galveston Bay to the Brazos River, and later plans were for the rail to go from San Luis Island instead of Galveston Bay.:176 She was the largest shareholder of the first railroad company in Texas. Perry was at the helm of the development and planning of San Luis. Perry not only owned the league of land which contained Dollar Point, she also managed the development of the town of Austinia, located within that league. Austinia is known in the present day as Texas City. Perry loaned money to Gail Borden (as in the founder/pioneer of Borden Milk Products) to buy his first herd of cows. Support of religion Perry played a key role in founding the first Episcopal Church in Texas. In 1848, she donated to a visitor to Peach Point, Episcopal Bishop George Washington Freeman of Arkansas, in order to help launch the Episcopal Diocese of Texas.:201 In addition, she paid to underwrite Leonidas Polk's trip to Texas from Louisiana.:201 Polk was the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and later served as a General in the American Civil War, ultimately having Fort Polk named in his honor. Perry also donated the land on which the Union Church Building was originally built; this one structure served as a prayer center for Methodists, the Episcopalians, and the Presbyterians. Support of education Perry paid Thomas J. Pilgrim to teach her children;:115 Pilgrim started the all-boys' school, Austin Academy, in 1829, which was the first school in Texas. Austin Academy had about 40 students. Perry deeded 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) of land for the support and founding of Austin College.:184 In addition, she directed monies owed by the State of Texas to the Austin estate to Austin College. Perry agreed to support her family friend and Austin College Founder Reverend Daniel Baker (who had been Pastor of the Washington, DC Presbyterian church attended by Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams); she supported Baker in his pursuit of expanding religious foundations and education in Texas.:183 Ironically, some of the land provided by Perry to support Austin College was later built on by a different academic institution: Sam Houston State University. (The irony here is the friendly rivalry between Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston). Please remove your protest of this article. Thank you.Bull Market 13:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep - I can't tell you how much I hate this challenge, but I'll try. This is the second worst of the year, following the challenge of Polyester... ONE: This is a historical figure, not a contemporary BLP of somebody on the make. This is worthy of note from the outset — a pre-internet figure. TWO: This is not a few throwaway lines, this is a serious piece of work, and well-footnoted. This also is worthy of note before the challenge ever should have been launched. THREE: There are multiple, independent, substantial published sources showing in the piece. FN1 is currently 404 on the net, but it is presumed to exist. That's the Sherman-Denison Herald-Democrat. FN2 is the Austin College magazine. That's TWO good sources. FN28 is a university press BIOGRAPHY of the subject. We're done!!!

Re: "...the article presents no acts of hers out of the ordinary for a landed gentrywoman of the time..." We're not here to judge the merit or importance of acts. This is about whether a topic is notable in wikipedia terms and thereby worthy of encyclopedic biography, which is almost entirely related to whether an article topic is a subject of coverage in multiple published sources elsewhere. This one is WAAAAAAAY over the bar for that. Carrite (talk) 15:57, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep We get quite a few articles posted about early immigrants, about whom little can be said other than that they sailed west, or went west, built a farm, co-founded Bloggsville (pop 323) and died. Interesting in a minor way, but not the stuff of encyclopaedias. (Unless someone starts a SettlerPedia to list all that can be listed. An idea for someone to pick up on...) Emily here isn't one of those little known pioneers. A miserable looking beggar in that picture, but a lot of Victorians were, in front of the camera. (Well, you had to keep still for so long. You'd never get pics of us, never mind today's kids, if we had to. That hair style doesn't help, either.) But quite a character - and in her own right, which was unusual for the time.

Page creator removed PROD, nominating for deletion as the page creator seems to be on some kind of anti-pink slime crusade, and this article is actually more a dictionary definition of a term the user seemingly made up CanuckMy page, 08:13, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

The PR woman for pink slime uses the term and it is in common usage to refer to meat industry waste byproducts. I simply started a stub so that it can incubate on wikipedia.LuciferWildCat (talk) 08:18, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Pink Slime. The term is a non notable neologism, and the article may thus be simply too soon. The usage of the words salvage and meat next to each other are usually the verb and the noun in the accusative case, thus part of to salvage... meat. At present the sole references I can find to the neologism salvage meat are self published sources. Thus a logical solution is to redirect this stub to the real article. When and if the term becomes notable it may have its own article with pleasure. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 08:51, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment I think one must be careful of emotive language when discussing a deletion. Please treat this article on its own merits. Ordinary readers of Knowledge do not look at what is going on behind the scenes. The article as it stands has no merits. The Pink Slime article has merits, though appears to be undergoing frequent changes right now. As with all Knowledge articles consensus will prevail there, as it will here. The purpose of redirection is to aid members of the reading public, not to make a point. If folk enter this term into Knowledge following media controversy then it is reasonable to lead them towards Pink Slime. That does not endorse the term Salvage Meat, it simply points them to the logical target of their search. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:47, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Non-notable periodical with no credible assertion of notability. Orange Mike | Talk 01:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete A quick search of Web of Science finds only two instances where the Townsend Letter was cited in the professional literature. PubMed comes up empty. Alexa ranking is very poor (686,796 worldwide). None of these necessarily requires deletion, but they all point to a lack of notability. I worry there is not sufficient reliable and independent coverage to allow inclusion. On the converse, it is a long-standing publication with a claimed circulation of about 10,000. I would be inclined to keep if there were some coverage of the publication, outside of itself and a brief mention on Quackwatch. --TeaDrinker (talk) 02:34, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep as per User:DGG's rationale in the 2007 deletion discussion. Here's an edited copy of his rationale:
This is basically a print journal, with some of the articles available online free. Based on Ulrich's Periodicals Directory:
  • 1. It's not indexed anywhere except in Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, which is mainly UK oriented but is the most complete of the relevant indexes.
  • 2. The publisher is unknown otherwise: this is their only title. It's a private operation run by the editor, Dr. Jonathan Collin.
  • 3. It's a consumer magazine, claiming only 6000 paid subscriptions.
However, though not available through the Proquest & Wilson database hosts, it is available through the Ebsco and Gale hosts. The magazine's been going under slightly varying titles since 1983, which is a long time in this part of publishing. Ulrich's will serve as a source. Being in Ulrich's doesn't show notability, since they put in everything they can find, but it does document the basics. I think being in two of the four major online services is notability for a consumer magazine.
Regards, Unforgettableid (talk) 10:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete: I actually find DGG's rationale to be a compelling argument in favor of deletion. The fact that a periodical is available through a couple of catalogs is interesting, but not sufficient to create a well-written encyclopedia article. There is literally no more than two or three simple, descriptive, barely informative sentences that can be adequately sourced and written on this subject. It seems impossible, using existing independent secondary sources, to demonstrate much or any impact or notability here, and so I don't think we should have an article.

  • Keep per the sound analysis in the prior AFD. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:50, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - My reasoning is probably going to be a bit controversial, but I think this is exactly the sort of article which shouldn't be deleted, as they can provide information about little known journals for which there is little easily available information. The balance is of course always in not going overboard and include every journal ever published, but the Townsend Letter seems to be mentioned often enough on the web to merit an inclusion. The next challenge is to make sure that the article is NPOV, and doesn't make the journal seem like more than it is, but that has nothing really to do with whether it should be deleted or not (and it actually appears to be pretty good on that front). --Kristjan Wager (talk) 21:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep - I did this page (did not write the text) because Master Huynh Chieu Duong asked me to do so. The source (website http://www.thuyphap.be/EN/welcome) was written by Master Huynh Chieu Duong himself as he is historian of Vietnamese Martial arts (beside of being martial art master). Now that Thuy Phap is officially member of Vo Co Truyen Federation (http://www.vocotruyen-france.fr/index.php/fr/ecoles), we thought that a Knowledge page has to be written about Thuy Phap. I can make a link to Thuy Phap website if you think it will avoid confusions about copyright, I just felt uncomfortable linking a source to its own source.

    • Sorry, but did you read them? InformationWeek mentions the company once in an article about another company and Hoovers is a trivial directory entry (there is one for each publicly traded company). The problem with BusinessWeek is harder to explain: though the article is indeed devoted to company, but in fact discusses the business in Belarus with drawing EPAM as example. The underlying idea of WP:GNG is that notability of topic is presumed if it was found notable by reliable sources, but I'm not sure that using the company as example is exactly the implication of notability. Also worth noting the fact that it is entirely based on EPAM's employee's quotes. Still, even if so, it is the only source of multiple needed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

  • I just went through the article formatting and proof-reading footnotes. All of the references imply the lack of this company's notability. The InformationWeek and BusinessWeek articles are of the kind "did you know such thing ever existed?", Global Services Media's article is "they merged, but even together they are hard to notice on the market" and the rest of references are directory entries or other passing mentions explicitly forbidden in WP:NCORP. In the lack of relies from people voting on keep side above I just can't get the reason this company can be possibly though to be notable for. BTW, all the Top N lists where the company received the place higher then 100 in its industry are conducted by unknown firms and rely on explicitly on list members' information. — Dmitrij D.

It does, however, make it much easier to find sources that would, such as reviews and articles.

Fails WP:GNG. Can't find anything through a Google News search on this group. None of the article is sourced except external links to self-published websites. Can't even find verification that some of the grouop's albums were release on COP International, at least not via a search on COP's website. Bbb23 (talk) 19:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. Granted, the article is in sore need of a solid copyedit and removal of extensive (and unnecessary) ramblings on the lives of these musicians: the fact that "they had to literally cut a huge chunk of (Lars Hansen's) skull out to get to the hematoma" or that "Lars has been doing better and is active with music and back to making swords", are entirely irrelevant to the true subject in question (namely, the band itself) and serve no actual purpose besides from making the article look like a blog entry. It could really use better sourcing as well.
However, the very core of the article (factual information on the band, its career, discography et al) pass WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. The band appears to have received in-depth coverage by at least two different secondary sources (that I could find - given my unfamiliarity with the band in particular and its musical genre in general, I wouldn't be surprised if more were available), namely:
  1. Gothic Beauty magazine, issue 11
  2. Zillo magazine, February 2006 issue (magazine facsimile taken from the band's site, but authenthic coverage nevertheless). Unfortunately the contents themselves are not entirely accesible online; however, reliable sources exist and are available, just not a click away - therefore satisfactorily complying with WP:GNG.
Additionally, confirmation of the band's association with COP International is easy to verify by merely checking the albums' entries at iTunes and Amazon , thus complying with the requirements set at WP:MUSIC.
Last but not least, all of the band's material is available through each and every major retailer, including (but not limited to) Amazon, iTunes, Barnes & Noble and CD Baby, as well as all major streaming services, namely MOG, Rhapsody, Spotify and Last.fm. (while this may not enough proof of the band's notability by itself, it is nevertheless a significant indicator when coupled with the elements outlined above; as is the huge number of online resources dedicated to this band).
To sum it up, the article needs to be trimmed in favor of relevant facts, severely WP:WORDed and properly sourced; but notability seems to be in place. Best regards, Athilea (talk) 06:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. With respect to the only two sources cited about the band above (Gothic Beauty and Zillo), it is impossible to tell what the coverage is of the group. I agree that the sources don't need to be online, but someone has to have read them to be able to report about the significance, if any, of the coverage inside. I don't know what Athilea means by the "huge number of online resources dedicated to this band"; if she's referring to the sales of their music, that just doesn't cut it. You can an awful lot of "music" on the web.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Reply. You don't have to talk about me in third person like I wasn't present :) Agreed; it'd be desirable to at least check the coverage dedicated by said sources, in order to confirm through WP:GNG its notability as already established, since the subject passes at least one of the criteria detailed at WP:MUSIC (having at least two albums released by a major record label). Which is the reason why I've asked the band via their website to provide scans of those publications (and others, if available) in order analyze and weigh their merit.
By "resources" I alluded not only the thousands of mentions at the web (online magazines, fan pages et al), but also the availabilty of all their material through each and every major retailer and stream service. These elements of course are not a source of notability in itself, but nevertheless an indicator when coupled with the other evidence presented above. I know "You can (sell?) an awful lot of ``music´´ on the web.", which is why I said so in the first place. Athilea (talk) 19:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Heh, no offense intended, although you weren't present when I added the comment (at least I didn't see you). :-) (Yup, I forgot the word "sell" - what I really wanted to say was that "you could sell an awful lot of awful music on the web, but that might betray personal bias.) --Bbb23 (talk) 19:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

  • KEEP

Seen this band around on the net for years. While the article itself doesn't contain footnotes, it's appears to be accurate based on articles I've read over the years, and based on the band's own page. They've been around too long too ignore, and from past readings they have made a place for themselves in the darkwave genre. I'd say absolutely keep. --SpiderFolk — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpiderFolk (talk • contribs) 17:11, 31 March 2012 (UTC) — SpiderFolk (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep "Issues" gone over repeatedly at AFD two years ago, during which it was expanded and far better sourced than when it received its first nomination two years ago... a nomination that resulted in a "keep". Sure, and while consensus can change, the article is now well sourced and shows this thespian as receiving the coverage required to both assert and show notability. The nominator here being unconvinced of the earlier AFD's close notwithstanding, I see this thespian as being worthy of note through a meeting of WP:ACTOR and WP:GNG.

Delete As above. The link in the article (?in the Hindnberg article?) provides a full list if anybody wants all the names.TheLongTone (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Strong Keep - The Hindenburg disaster was an extremely notable one, and though this is not a memorial, the article can be kept as long as it does not adopt an overly memorializing tone ("His loss will be remembered forever." etc.) Though the passengers may not have independent notability, nevertheless, the fact that so many people died certainly creates a collective notability warranting this list.

Besides, the nom's logic that this is indiscriminate does not hold. The importance of this disaster shows that the article is not one of the ebbs and flows of daily life, but a unique and verifiable event. Only if we documented (or attempted to document) information which does not warrant significant coverage in reliable sources would it fall under WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There is a degree of significance to these deaths.Wer900 essay on the definition of consensus 00:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep highly notable disaster, roughly on par with the Titanic and 9/11 in terms of publicity (not impact), both of whose victims/passengers are listed here, (Passengers of the RMS Titanic). It may appear to be a memorial, but since its listing those who survived as well, its not.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - Major historic disaster. This list is focused and limited in size, criteria for inclusion are clear, likely to be of interest or utility to WP users. Definitely could use better sourcing, but this is an editing matter. Carrite (talk) 03:22, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep for the reasons set out by the preceding two editors. WP:NOTMEMORIAL really isn't relevant here, as this isn't an attempt to memorialize anyone (even though some of the people on the list did die). Also, I know we should be cautious about drawing comparisons to other articles, but I can't help but note that Knowledge has lists of characters for every comic book, TV show, etc., and those are not going to be deleted — I think we should bear that in mind in considering the worthiness of this list relating to a truly major historical event. Finally, I don't think WP:NOT#DIR is a problem here; this list doesn't fall into any of the enumerated categories. Terence7 (talk) 05:45, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - per Not Memorial - we do not make generally lists of people just because they died unless they are notable, Undue detail - those notable people in the crash are already noted in the main article without overlading it - no reason to Spinout. Per other stuff exists we should not be dragging in what unrelated articles cover. That said, for related articles, the R38, Dixmude, R101 and USS Akron (ZRS-4) are none the worse for not naming the passengers whether they survived or not.

  • Comment Indiscriminate. Memorial. "outside the scope of WP". Yawn. All cookie-cutter objections. And Memorial is SYNTH, attempting to attribute a motivation to articles. A list of the dead is the very definition of a disaster. How in the hell can anyone ever prove that an article is commemorating something by listing it? Anarchangel (talk) 20:50, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Under what wikipedia is not: "A complete exposition of all possible details" - a list of the passengers and their occupations and age and other facts is Undue detail. GraemeLeggett (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Another stupid rule, taken by WP:NOT editors out of its proper context in an ARB decision and unwisely taking the horrendous risk of forbidding completeness. However, most of the fault here, right now, is your vain attempt to SYNTHesize the aforementioned WP:NOT rule with the non sequitur of WEIGHT. Anarchangel (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment because the normal consensus is not to fill wikipedia with lists of non-notable things, the same argument could be used to list all the people involved in every disaster and crime mentioned in wikipedia, I could understand some sentiment for a list of just the victims but to list everybody involved including survivors doesnt add any value. MilborneOne (talk) 17:02, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete Indiscriminate list, I find it extremely unconventional to dedicate a whole article to. The comparison with the Titanic's Passengers article is a hollow comparison - that had huge amounts of prose, on the conditions, circumstances, layout - while this is just a bulletin of names. If this had been developed to that extent, to be more than an indiscriminate list, I might not think this to be unworthy of a dedicated article onto itself; but right now, as a list onto itself and nothing more, I feel it is WP:Undue Weight. As mentioned by other editors, it'd be more suitable to a table in the main disaster article, if this is the totality to its extent. Kyteto (talk) 20:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I did the translation from cs-wiki and then sort of wandered off. I have just added the one working ref from the original article and will find more later (I hope. I'd love to find something in ENGLISH but I don't see that happening unfortunately....) Florestanová (talk) 04:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Keep. The original concern has already been addressed. Suggest nominator reads WP:BEFORE and becomes familiar with Template:Prod blp for similar occurrences in the future. Cloudz679 22:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Added reference are sufficient evidence of notability.--Kubigula (talk) 04:07, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Unnecessary, unreferenced and frankly inaccurate article (it wasn't the British Army for a start). Serves only an umbrella for two extant articles which are already well entrenched in Knowledge, and easily accessible. I say delete. —Cliftonian (talk) 03:13, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

No reliable secondary sources on this subject except for passing mention. No indication of notability aside from primary sources written by the subject which indicates he was "named a Rising Star in American politics by Campaigns & Elections magazine in 2008" and that Washingtonian Magazine "named him to its list of Tech Titans for 2011". The self-published source accurately claims that The Atlantic said he was "poised to become one of the most influential Republican political strategists of his generation", but that doesn't change the fact that there is little to nothing about this subject in the literature. If Ruffini is indeed notable as both a Republican strategist and the webmaster for President Bush's 2004 campaign, I would expect to find good sources on that subject. All I've found is passing mention. Viriditas (talk) 02:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn due to sources found by Milowent and Northamerica1000. Viriditas (talk) 03:24, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Very Strong Keep - per this substantial coverage and this insubstantial mention, as well as this New York Times article and this New York Times blog, as well as Salon, which has covered his opinions on various matters in the 2008 presidential election. This is not even including this New York Times blog, this Weekly Standard mention of Patrick Ruffini's opinion on a replacement for a United States Senator, this CNET article mentioning Ruffini's placement in a particular Google site and his status in The Next Right, and this book mentioning his role as the leader of Republican web efforts. I know that many of these are pretty short, but they give a rather complete picture of Patrick Ruffini. Wer900 essay on the definition of consensus 03:59, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, but none of those sources say anything at all about Patrick Ruffini, the person. All they do is cite his opinions about politics. We don't write biography articles about opinions. We write biography articles about people. Unless you can provide a single reliable secondary source that talks about Patrick Ruffini as a person of note, I don't see how those sources can help support a biographical entry in an encyclopedia. The fact that there are zero articles about Patrick Ruffini as a biographical subject is a serious problem. Patrick Ruffini has strong opinions about politics. We get that. But we need sources that talk about him as a person, and the only ones that do that are self-published. Please consult any one of the 129 politics and government featured articles to see how we use sources to write biography articles. The fact is, we don't have any good biographical sources on Patrick Ruffini. So, why do we have an article on him? Viriditas (talk) 05:59, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." None of these sources deal with the subject directly in detail. This has resulted in a large portion of the article being WP:OR. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:NOTE.Coffeepusher (talk) 20:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment - Is this !vote based upon a search for sources, or just those that were present in the article at the time and/or in this discussion? Please see my comment below in which I have denoted reliable sources that have been added to the article that are comprised of significant coverage about Ruffini. Northamerica1000 23:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not extremely notable, but I think there is enough coverage out there on him, he's a well-known GOP media guy and thus gets lots of press mentions. Stuff like this is what tips the scales for me.--Milowent • 15:17, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Actually the more I look, the more notable he seems to be.--Milowent • 15:43, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. Considerable press mentions, profiled in the National Review. If his political life is of more interest than his personal life, that would make this a political biography. The early days of web presence in politics are likely to be a subject of ongoing historical interest. Trilliumz (talk) 21:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
    • Yeah, considerable passing mention, with partisan profiles saying "look at what great work he did on this campaign" and "look at the good work he will do in the future". Meanwhile, not a single biographical source on the subject, you know, the kind of sources we need for...a biography? Viriditas (talk) 09:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
  • You clearly aren't looking at the same sources I am. Also, Whorunsgov (Washington Post) has as much bio information as we need.--Milowent • 12:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Please. That's the only semi-biographical source about the subject that isn't self-published, although it does seem to be based on self-published sources. In other words, this is a tertiary source. Viriditas (talk) 21:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Excellent work. May I ask, how did you find those sources? I will withdraw this nomination. Viriditas (talk) 03:23, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Sources were found using comprehensive searches other than results from Google news, which sometimes provides inadequate results. Maybe someday the "find sources" templates can be improved to include options for other news source searches besides just Google news. Northamerica1000 06:49, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
