The Clock Strikes Black

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

Non-notable Alice in Wonderland sequel; no hits for "the clock strikes black" "kelly nichols" on Google News and News archives or even Google Books. CtP (t • c) 23:08, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete. This is ultimately an Alice in Wonderland fanfiction and hasn't been "officially" published anywhere except for fanfiction.com. , Fanfiction can sometimes be notable, but in this case all a search brings up are various instances of the author spamming the internet to promote her book. I'm not going to say that this is ultimately the author using Knowledge as her own personal advertising space, but I've seen enough in my search to suggest that this is a self-promotional attempt by the author. The book or the author may one day become notable, but it isn't in the here and now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

A question: since it seems to exist nowhere other than fanfiction.net, then could it be A7'd as non-notable web content? CtP (t • c) 18:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Maybe. I'd never thought of that. I'd give it a whirl, explaining the reason for the speedy in the summary field. It's worth a try, since it's fairly clear that this hasn't a snowball's chance of surviving an AfD unless some extreme circumstance happened in the next day or so.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Omni Functional Platform

This is an unnotable term, that barely seems to exist outside of Knowledge and its mirrors. It seems to just mean "hardware or software that does a lot of things". For what it's worth, nearly all of the references for this article are broken links. Yaron K. (talk) 22:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

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

Non-notable song and I have found zero evidence of appropriate third-party sources to establish notability. I should also note that the author has started Arash Haerizadeh and Anthematic, all three of them containing the same links. The author is obviously a single purpose account with the sole intent of starting articles for this group. SwisterTwister talk 21:25, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-notable singer and I haven't found any appropriate sources to support this article. It is possible that reliable sources may be Arabic but considering that Iran is conservative when it comes to music, it's probably unlikely. I should also note that the author has started Anthematic and Home (Anthematic single), all of them containing the same primary sources. SwisterTwister talk 21:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

First of all, language of Iranians is not Arabic. Regarding reliable sources, the best Internet source for Iranian music is BBC Persian website. I've searched it, the guy is not notable. --Z 14:43, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

~~fails WP:GNG Go Phightins! (talk) 21:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)~~

After seeing the Swedish Knowledge article, I believe this article is salvageable. I was unaware of this article at the time of my nomination and didn't come across it during the course of my WP:BEFORE investigation. I agree with DGG that it might be a good idea to note articles that have articles on other wikis more clearly on this one. But I hereby withdraw my nomination for this article. Thanks to all who participated in the discussion and especially to DragonflySixtyseven for pointing out that article. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:52, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Delete The article lists his jobs but does not assert why he is notable. The source is just about his death. Electric Catfish 21:28, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Swedish Knowledge + Google Translate => definite notability (award-winning, juror for various other awards, listed as one of the most powerful media people here, one of the most influential media people there, etc etc) ==> definite keep, but article strongly needs to be improved by incorporation of data mentioned in sv.wiki (at the very least).

Keep based on native langauge wiki article. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep The sources in the Swedish WP just have to be copied over. Fully enough to meet the GNG. It is a shame that people nominating articles with corresponding articles in other WPs don't first look at those articles & see if at least there are additional sources. DGG ( talk ) 23:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Short of googling "Pontus Schultz Swedish Knowledge", which I just did, I am not sure how one would know of that article. When I came across this article, this revision existed. The only source was about a bike accident that led to his death. There was no indication of notability. My google search of simply his name led to sources related to his death, nothing about his life. Therefore, I thought I carried out the four guidelines as outlined in WP:BEFORE and went ahead to nominate it for AFD. I apologize for not making the connection to search for it under Swedish Knowledge. Sorry--Go Phightins! (talk) 01:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

you could have known about it from the link in the right hand column that reads "Svenska", which would have taken you directly to the Swedish article. It is put there by the code at the bottom of the page ] . This is how we indicate the presence of an article in another Knowledge, and it was present at the time. I guess we need to publicize it more. But the article should also have been marked with the code at the top {{Expand Swedish|Pontus Schultz}}, which produces a message asking that it be expanded with text and references from the longer article in that encyclopedia. I just added that code, and you will see what it displays. This one at least is hard to miss. I guess we need to publicize that also. DGG ( talk ) 01:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm looking at the revision when I nominated it. I do not see the Svenska that you're citing here. Now that you added the code at the top, it's hard to miss. Again, I apologize, but I wasn't aware of the article and, to the best of my knowledge, followed WP:BEFORE when I nominated...Go Phightins! (talk) 01:27, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

You may consider withdrawing the AfD by striking through the nomination above and leaving an explaination. Then we're all good for a non-admin closure. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:47, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking about it...I am leaning toward probably doing it. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. It looks like there is consensus not to delete, but no consensus as to whether the article should be kept or merged. I suggest opening a merge discussion on the talk page. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:51, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

We Demand a Referendum

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

Fails notability and political policies. Fails GNG. Fails our policies and consensus on notable lobby/pressure groups. Lobby group without notability beyond the Internet. Has no constant, consistent non-Internet coverage. Article suffers from bias. Not a political group in any definition of the term in the UK, not to mention any of the constituent parts. doktorb _words 20:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy keep: Accusations levelled at the article are baseless.

Proponent claims WDAR has no notability beyond the Internet. Yet the Sun and Express articles, for example, have been published both online and in their print versions. It has also been widely discussed on radio programmes, of which the source quoted in the article itself is just one example. Other high-profile non-Internet coverage includes an interview of a party candidate on the BBC's Daily Politics show alongside UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall.

That video link is by the user "nikkisinclairemp", and therefore a primary source - no good for helping notability. --Ritchie333 12:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

The original work is by the BBC, which is what should count for the purposes of judging notability. Sinclaire just uploaded the video, nothing else. She clearly didn't stage the interview on a fake BBC set. --Leptictidium (mt) 12:42, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Proponent claims the article suffers from bias. Yet the main contributor to the article (me) is staunchly pro-EU, so accusing me of trying to embellish information on WDAR is ridiculous.

Proponent claims this is not a political group in any definition of the term in the UK. Yet the party has been registered with the Electoral Commission since June this year; if being registered with the EC as a political party is not a definition of "political group", then what is?--Leptictidium (mt) 08:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

merge to Nikki Sinclaire, until there's clear evidence this is a real political party that stands in elections, rather than one person's crusade that could peter out before the euro elections. There are some sources, but mostly about Sinclaire - it's mostly local press from around Sinclaire's constituency. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Weak keep - sources 1, 3, 5 and 6 are all primary sources, not suitable for testing notability. 3 is a press release, and hence not independent. That leaves an article each from The Sun and the Daily Express, just giving us significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources (assuming you believe 2 is "multiple"). And I didn't really want a photo of Katie Hopkins thrown in my face while eating my lunch. --Ritchie333 11:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment: source 1 has been replaced with a non-primary source, making it at least three independent, reliable sources. Leptictidium (mt) 12:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep - I found out about this party from a BBC show "Daily Politics" which did not feature Nikki Sinclair, but another woman Katie Hopkins (sp?). I vote to keep, since this is now a party with notoriety thanks to the BBC and some newspapers as others have mentioned. I have no political connect to this or any British party. 78.52.102.235 (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

The result was delete. All comment relating to the neutrality or lack thereof were discounted as that is an editing issue and not pertinent to a deletion debate. The issue of how many libraries it is in seems to have been refuted as not necessarily indicating notability. Therefore it seems consensus favors he idea that at this time this subject is not sufficiently notable for an encyclopedia entry. Willing to userfy if requested.

Theory in Action

Appears to fail the WP:GNG. There have been determined efforts to promote the topic, onwiki and offwiki, so it's easy to find ghits - but there's a severe shortage of substantial coverage by independent sources.

Why deleting it when it only describes a journal without referring or making judgements about any other thing. It is an informative entry, it adds information to the web and harms nobody, I think that is what Knowledge is, or should be, about — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.158.236.99 (talk) 16:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep. NJ notes "For journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and GoogleScholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases, one can also look at how frequently the journal is held in various academic libraries", and this journal has a cited claim about "it is available in over 220 academic libraries worldwide". The publisher and editor seem notable. I don't see this as self-promotional, seems like a neutral entry. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 18:41, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep. I am not a pro wiki editor but believe this is a legitimate entry as a Marxist academic journal, names involved are a who’s who of the Left. It has coverage e.g., listed on the Alternative Press Index, listed by Worldcat as available globally in 220 libraries. Examples of coverage/reference by other independent institutions/sources:http://www2.myacpa.org/social-newsletter/past-newsletters/1965-fall-a-winter-2010-2, http://www.unav.es/adi/UserFiles/CvFiles/Files/17417/Social%20model.pdf , http://faculty.maxwell.syr.edu/yma03/files/Theory%20in%20Action%20V2%20N2.pdf, http://www.projectcensored.org/about/partners/Robdirect75 (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep Theory in Action (TIA) is a legitimate academic/activist publication that is accessible online, and also in hundreds of libraries worldwide. Not every publication garners 'substantial coverage by independent sources', because most publications are not objects of study unto themselves (i.e. the basis for an article, or the subject of an interview). There is no false information presented in the entry, and TIA is not some newsletter printed & distributed in a grocery store parking lot somewhere in Topeka, KS; it is a journal that is edited by, published by, and features the work of, other respected college professors & activists (radical as some of them might be). I can find no grounds for deletion based on Knowledge's standards, as well as my own judgement as a full-time college professor, published author, and co-editor of the oldest continuously running publication on the Internet (Bad Subjects). User:Speckdog 10:31 EST, 30 September 2012.
Delete Article creation seems premature. Most of the above arguments come down to "WP:ILIKEIT", with the exception of the argument about library holdings. However, part of these holdings will be through general access services like EBSCO (meaning a library did not really decide to subscribe to the journal, but just lists it because it gets it as part of a package deal), so I'd like to see a bit more solid evidence for notability than that. If the journal is as good as people here claim, it will soon garner either independent sources or be included in reputable selective databases. At the moment, though, we cannot say. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Non-notable journal: The homepage is a blogging site and all other links are to the journal's Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Delete The NYTimes references is a simple listing and useless to determine notabiliy. The Rediff source is not even about the same person, just someone who has the same name, so neither pan out and that should have been caught, Vensatry. Checking for news, books and all around finds a shortage of coverage. Maybe someday, but her career is still rather new.

The numbers and design parameters discussed in the article refer to specific Sonitron products that are intended for portable devices, hence the talk about DC-DC converters.

That's not my gist. The problem is that the article generalizes a Sonitron product category as a dictionary subject.

Quoting Knowledge:Notability: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article". That EE Times article does not count: It has been written by a Maxim engineer and in part 2 it effectively advertises the MAX9788 amplifier with an integrated charge pump.

Although it appears to be a noble cause, it also appears to be non-notable and I haven't found any reliable third-party sources. Despite that the article claims the establishment date was 2002, I have found absolutely nothing to support this article's information from third-party sources, but there would be little to support with the article's current promotional state. Despite searching with Google News US and UK and Google Books with multiple terms including "non-profit", "2002", "Chinese culture" and "London", it seems they may never have received news coverage. EDIT: (29 September 2012) Looking through the edit history, I noticed that this 2002 BBC News article was removed nearly five years ago. Although the article is detailed, I believe this is insufficient and reads like an advertisement therefore not useful. I simply wanted to bring this to attention.

The first is effectively a passing mention and the second discussion initiated by the organisation and noted by the Guardian letter ombudsman, so I don't see them as sufficiently substantial in themselves to establish notability.

Keep. (Marginal call). The design of machines for processing cellular automata is a valid topic for an article, although the current page is in need of an almost total rewrite. Although the article on cellular automata is comprehensive, there is a distinction to be made between the theory of cellular automata and the design of machines for processing them, which has a long history (e.g. work of Duff, Fountain et al. on the CLIP machines at UCL in the 1970s/80s). 86.7.23.104 (talk) 15:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep but possible rewrite - I reviewed the author's contributions and noticed that they started several useful articles so I believe this is not a hoax. Additionally, Google News received several, although not very useful, results. All of the results are advert-like but they suggest that this indeed exists. Google Books also found several results including this 2008 book that mentions it was developed 25 years ago (1983) in France.

Weak keep if rewritten to eliminate the promotional tone and add references. There is nothing "medical" about this subject - this is a cosmetic treatment for the dubiously existing problem of "cellulite" - but that's not what determines whether we keep the article; if the subject is notable, we keep it.

Is a candidate for an office automatically notable, even if he has never held an office? Although this article is long, and has many references, the number of references that meet WP:RS seems small and I'm not convinced this person meets WP:BIO.

Keep it, for several reasons. The political resume is sufficient IMO and not just governor. Elected state party chairman of the third largest political party in America, which qualifies under WP:POLITICIAN as a statewide office. Candidate for vice president adds to that. Also an inventor with three US patents, which meets the notability guidelines at WP:CREATIVE and/or Knowledge:NRVE. Noted public speaker who conducted US presidential debates. Appears in Best Documentary, 2008 Sunscreen Film Festival Re: the WP:GNG requirement, get past the recent novel and YouTube stuff on Google, and there are hundreds of newspaper articles from past races, mostly 2002 and 1998 governor races that meet WP:RS. Lots of reasons to keep it.

Statewide office for the purposes of WP:POLITICIAN has always been interpreted as being part of a legislature or holding some kind of ministerial role. Being a state party chairman does not fulfil that criteria. Valenciano (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete Very strong delete, actually. We have never accepted someone who tries but fails to get a minor party nomination even for such an important office as Vice-President office as notable for that reason alone, Similarly for candidates nominated and running for offices such as representative to Congress from minor parties--I've advocated this for the 2 major parties in a 2 party system, but I would go beyond this. Similar for the state chairmanship: in the US, I would accept that for the 2 major parties, but not for others. The other writings are trivial. And the argument above that he is the most google-prominent person with the name of Krawchuk is rather ridiculous. I find it hard to believe that such arguments can be made in good faith, but I think in this case it's more of ILIKEHIM. Essentially all mentions of him are just that, mentions.

Spinghar TV

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

Fails WP:ORG as I can't find any reliable sources about it. David 1217 02:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment - According to the article, "Spinghar TV is locally available in Nangarhar, Kabul, Parwan, Kunduz, Takhar, Balkh, Peshawar, Mardan, Qutta, Karachi, Swat Trabal Aria and Torkham. It transmits hourly news, current affairs programs, entertainment programs, politics programs, sports programs and criminal incidents programs. Spinghar TV offers a current affairs Programme (نن سبا) from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan. In Pakistan this programme has become popular. The program discusses basic questions regarding the constitution, rule of law, Pashtun affairs and democracy in political parties." If we assume those assertions to be true, a plausible notion, then I'd say that we'd likely be making a mistake by simply deleting the article. It's quite possible that we're either overlooking or cannot even access relevant source material, seeing as it is primarily in an obscure language in a less-than-connected part of the world. We should probably first be having a conversation about whether to redirect the title to a regional article about the general subject, or whether we can find someone more familiar with the Afghan media. Also, for research reference, the station's Facebook page reveals activity and trends that appear commensurate with comparable Pashto stations, and somewhat humorously, their official logo is a direct derivative of Sportiva's. — C M B J 04:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I couldn't find any web sources. If book sources can be found, that's great (where could we look, I wonder?) but if it's too obscure, it should be deleted because it fails WP:V. David 1217 01:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
  - Generally speaking, I'm of the position that viable non-English articles should be held closer to the inclusion standards of yesteryear until such areas of our project are proportionally mature. In this case, I agree that we've got to at least reasonably establish that the station is roughly what it claims to be — which hasn't yet been done — and that's why I took no position on whether we actually keep the article at this point in time. As for further research, there appear to be several videos on YouTube (e.g., here) that closely resemble what is described in the 'SPINGHAR in Europe' section, though they reference Spinghar.tv (the original dead link in this article) and facebook/spinghartv.tv as opposed to spenghar.com and facebook/spenghar; it's unclear whether or not the former is an affiliate of the latter, though it seems somewhat unlikely because both have unique logos, production values, and ongoing Facebook posts. There are also rudimentary mentions of "Spin Ghar" internews station in a 2005 Afghan Media Commission Interim Report and "Spin Ghar Film" production company in a 2010 USAID Priority District Report, though both reports precede the date of founding described in our article. — C M B J 10:21, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

List that seems to violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. BenTels (talk) 15:46, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep - Knowledge contains many lists, including for specialized groups of academic journals. These are a valuable resource, helping define and demarcate a particular field of study. For fields such as Urban and regional planning, such a list would be too cumbersome within the main article on that topic. Redlinks within such lists are an important source for identifying related articles for future development. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Delete Some lists are extremely informative and valuable and add much to the encyclopedia (just see some of our featured list articles). Other lists are like this one: a bare enumeration of items, basically duplicating a category (in this case: Category:Urban studies and planning journals) and don't add anything else to the encyclopedia. In addition, there don't seem to be any independent sources that discuss this class of journals as a group. Hence, does not meet WP:LISTN. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Note that the list is barely a month old, so there is substantial room for its further development as an informative article (still a 'stub' list). In addition to helping define and/or demarcate an academic field of study and (through redlinks) identify articles for future development, additional related information can be brought in, including comparative journal citation statistics/ rankings, publishers, editors, areas of focus, etc. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:19, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Place/institution of publication, years of publication, periodicity... Yes, all of this can be added to annotate the list, make it an informative table above and beyond the category, not that that's necessary to justify keeping it in list form as well. postdlf (talk) 15:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

See WP:NOTDUP and WP:CLN generally; navigational lists (i.e., those that index articles) function as a complement to the category system, and both systems have benefits the other does not. WP:LISTN has no relevance to such lists as should be clear from WP:LISTPURP, WP:CLN, and WP:SALAT (and by LISTN itself, which states that it does not apply to all kinds of lists); planning journals is what these notable topics are, so whether or not sources "discuss this class of journals as a group" is not meaningful here. So keep as valid navigational list, per my comments and those of DASonnenfeld. The nom's WP:VAGUEWAVE doesn't merit a response without some explanation as to why this list violates NOTDIR contra its navigational function. postdlf (talk) 08:26, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment. The article topic is, for anyone who hasn't guessed, the Czech/Slovak version of the Got Talent format - in fact, Got Talent currently contains more information about the subject than this article. There are Czech, Slovak and French articles on the topic, all far more detailed than this one - the Czech and Slovak articles seem to be roughly as detailed (and sourced) as, for instance, Eesti talent here on English Knowledge. Under the circumstances, I would suggest leaving the discussion open for another week to see if anyone improves the article - the topic certainly seems to be just as notable as any popular television show, but the current article adds nothing to Knowledge and almost all sources for an improved article will be in either Czech or Slovak.

Republic of Pontus

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

Article on a non existent body, written totally in POV, without serious (let alone reliable) sources. Distortion of history. Even "flag" imposed on a "proposed" state (?) which was supposed to be called "Republic of Pontus", by the concerned WP editor who made up the article. E4024 (talk) 15:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep. As seen at , the Republic of Pontus was at least a serious proposal for a state that might have been formed due to the territorial changes at the end of World War I. Any problems with the article can be dealt with through normal editing. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep. The book by Forster does mention the Republic of Pontus, but I can't access the entire thing from Google Books. A cursory search turns up at least a dozen books that could be used as future references in the article, including works by the American-Hellenic Society, the US War Department, and The Times of London. There's also an article from The New York Times which states "The Greeks of Trebizond asked the Peace Conference to detach Trebizond from Turkey and to form of it a separate State to be known as the Republic of Pontus". The topic is notable and any problems can be solved via normal editing, as Metropolitan90 said. For examples of articles on other non-existent bodies, see List of proposed state mergers and List of United States territories that failed to become states#Proposed but non-existent entities.

Keep: Easily a notable topic. This is just a major case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Athenean (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Comment Yeah, there are good reasons behind this request that are not just that E doesn't like it. Can anyone find a link source to support this claim: "the Republic of Pontus was never officially proclaimed, but a central government of an embryonic state existed." All I can find is people calling it a "political aspiration" or that there were "plans to declare a Pontus Republic", or "The Greek Republic of Pontus never became a reality, and in the abortive struggle to create it the Pontic Greeks were displaced with enormous loss of life" or, "How and why the Republic of Pontus did not materialize". I'm leaning toward Keep, but proposer is right: 1. Topic has not been the subject of serious, reputable study (there are no English scholarly histories on the topic, just brief mentions on other subjects) 2. And the brief mentions which do exist, seem to make clear that it was a political aspiration and never anywhere close to an "Unrecognized state" or even "embryonic state." I will vote to Keep if someone can show me: A. A major reputable treatment of the subject (without this, there is no notability for a historical entity) or B. Someone shows something that says this wasn't just an idea by a handful of people with good diplomatic connections, but an actually existing entity. Otherwise, the content should probably be merged with Paris Peace Conference page or ~~Trabzon page~~ Pontic Greeks. AbstractIllusions (talk) 15:37, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? There is plenty of material on the subject . Yeah, so it was never implemented, only proposed. That has nothing to do with whether the subject is notable or not. By the way, who is it you are following around? Me, or E4024? If it's me I would prefer it it if you stopped. Athenean (talk) 15:49, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

When I open a discussion I always hope many people to follow me and join the talk, not only two or three users. So thanks to everyone who are kind enough to join the discussion. --E4024 (talk) 16:00, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

@Athenean. Thanks for the comments. No sources in that search, except the Eccumenical one, spend more than a line or two on the Pontic Republic. All of them use the term once, if at all (seriously click on the books and you will only find trivial mentions). Knowledge:Notability is clear that Notability has to be more than trivial mentions, although not necessarily the full subject of the article. We need a couple of sources that spend a page or two on the Republic of Pontus to clearly say it is notable. United States of Latin Africa which has a few scholarly treatments (although not the article) may be a good example of an imaginary state that is notable. But even if there isn't that scholarly treatment, I said I would be convinced of its notability if it ever was an "Unrecognized state" or even "Embryonic State". If it had an office, I'd probably lean towards Keep. So there are two ways you can convince me: show me a significant treatment of it in a reputable source (I will not be convinced by Google Book hits for trivial mentions) or show me it actually existed. Either one will convince me the topic is notable. I think both are quite reasonable and following guidelines too. Once again, I'm leaning toward Keep, but don't think dismissing the arguments by E is helpful in figuring this out. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I found one. AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:53, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep. But perhaps the article should be renamed to reflect the idea that no republic was formally proclaimed or recognized. Sprutt (talk) 17:30, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep. Great, finally found a substantive source on it. Had to really look for it. Will be doing my part to improve content on the page. AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:53, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

@Sprutt: As you will most possibly agree with me, if a state has not been formally proclaimed any supposed recognition is out of question; therefore maybe you should strike that word in your comment. Thanks in advance. --E4024 (talk) 18:03, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep. I don't see how there can be any reasonable doubt that the topic is notable: there are a ton of textbooks containing this theorem. And "this is a standard homework problem" is not a reason for deletion. Jowa fan (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep. I added two more textbooks that cover this (they don't call it "the fundamental theorem" but we already have one source for the name, and anyway notability is about content not naming). To me the nominator's argument that this is a standard exercise (as it is in some other texts that I found) only strengthens the case for its notability. I'm not convinced that the lengthy and unsourced "proof" sections in the current version of the article are helpful, and two of them seem to be assuming without justification that the group is finite, but they can be cleaned up. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete unless evidence can be provided that this is a standard name for the result. The result can certainly be mentioned somewhere; that's not a problem. The problem is that we don't want to endorse a name for the result that someone just made up one day (and therefore we don't want to leave a redirect).

Meh. I don't know if every characterization theorem for some class of groups needs a separate article. Yes, you can show that it passes GNG by citing some pages in almost any book on groups. But is it that notable in the real-world sense of the word that it needs a separate article? Does it have some history worth mentioning and so forth that would make it unwieldy in the main article?

Keep. I understand why a political operative like the subject would want to have his unattractive (but cited) past scrubbed from an online enyclopedia. While the Seattle Times link has gone dead and can't be found in archives, this source demonstrates that the source exists and could be found in an offline search. Further, this source shows the subject buying a home with a CR co-worker, now a NC congressman and illegally claiming with him District of Columbia's Homestead Tax Deduction. The USA Today and Las Vegas sources put this subject past the bar of notability, IMHO. On further reading, it seems an SPA scrubbed scandal from a company connected to the subject in 2010, which I've now added back in. This may or not be related. BusterD (talk) 15:26, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ Comment – The additional sources which BusterD sited and linked are not reliable independent secondary sources as they are partisan blogs. The additional links appear to be pushing this BLP toward PSEUDO Biography and attack page. The subject clearly fails WP: Notability standard and personally requests deletion.

Keep - As head for multiple years of the Republican Party's youth section, this is an individual about whom there should be encyclopedic biography. THIS PIECE in a BYU magazine about Stewart and his running mate notes that the national College Republicans organization includes 779 chapters and 80,000 members — a hefty-sized organization. To wheel out once again my often-used rationale: "I favor the lowest possible bar for inclusion of pieces about political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections regardless of size or ideology — this is the sort of thing that SHOULD be in an encyclopedia." There do seem to be some possible undue weight issues, which is an editing matter. Carrite (talk) 15:43, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Comment - The relisting of this BLP appears odd. The additional links provided are partisan political blogs and do not yield sufficient evidence of neutrality required by reliable secondary sources. The Carrite addition of the BYU piece does nothing to show notability as Stewart is not the subject of the article and the BYU student newspaper is not a reliable secondary source. Even he noted that the article is unbalanced. Additionally, since the subject is relatively unknown and has personally requested deletion, is there any chance a consensus could appear? Since such a consensus is essentially impossible, the policy mandates that the article be closed as delete.

Delete. One modestly substantial piece in a newspaper (USA Today) isn't really enough to meet WP:GNG, and the WP:BLP issues make it a clear delete in my view. The lack of general coverage of Stewart means that the article ends up being dominated by the unproven allegations, which (as DGG noted) makes it function as an attack page.

Weak delete - this is a fairly strange case, not helped by the two SPAs who have chosen this AfD and a related article each as their only articles of interest. I can only imagine there's some serious sock-puppetry going on. I have had a look at the sources - one was broken so I fixed it, another was a dead link and the original article is now behind a pay-wall so I hid it. Strictly speaking, I think the subject does (just) meet WP:GNG on the basis of the articles provided - three articles either focussed on the subject or that mention him specifically and provide more than just passing mentions. I acknowledge that the articles that remain aren't particularly complimentary, but if we deleted every BLP on the basis that notability should be established only by "complimentary" coverage then we would lose many BLP articles over-night. However, given the meeting of WP:GNG is (at this stage) marginal, given the subject has requested deletion and given our want to uphold the principle of doing no harm, I'd be inclined to delete. It is worth pointing out, I think, that one or two more sources could probably put WP:GNG beyond doubt, regardless of whether they speak highly of the subject or not. If the subject were to receive more coverage in the future (regardless of tone) an article could possibly be justified again. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Stalwart111 says what I wanted to say much better than I did:)

U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina

AfDs for this article:

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

I am recommending that U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina be deleted. It was originally setup with only focus on the combined section of US 15 and US 501 in North Carolina. Later, it was modified to include both in more detail without breaking them out as two separate pages. Now that two separate pages have finally been created for the two US Routes (that will make it easier to go into more detail regarding history, future, differences, etc.), this page is no longer needed. --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Comment leaning oppose on technical grounds. Was content copied across from the US 15-501 article into the separate US 15 in NC and US 501 in NC articles? If so, this can't be deleted. If the content was copied, under the terms of the licenses used here, it has to be redirected to one or the other article, and then {{copied}} has to be added to the talk pages of the all three articles to attribute the content correctly.
Having said all of that, I support the essential proposal, but a deletion isn't possible. Split and duplicate the content as needed, apply the attribution templates, and then redirect US 15-501 to one of the articles and call it a day. Imzadi 1979 → 12:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

If a deletion isn't possible, then a redirect to U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina seems the prudent choice of the two, it's the dominant partner in the relationship (using it's mile markers along the route). --WashuOtaku (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina per Imzadi1979. It would be nice to split the material evenly between the two routes, but since US 15 is the dominant of the two routes, I've got to go with redirecting it to US 15. I almost considered directing it back to the main US 15 and/or US 501 pages, though. ----DanTD 23:31, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- In this case, it doesn't matter where it redirects; the page history can't be deleted for licensing reasons. The only way around that restriction is to copy a list of every account or IP that edited the article to the talk pages. If such a list is created (doesn't have to be a direct copy of the page history) then the redirect wouldn't need to be retained for technical/licensing issues. Dough's suggestion of making it a dab page is also valid over a redirect. In any case, if WashuOtaku or someone else copied text from this article into the others, some attribution must be maintained. Imzadi 1979 → 23:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Comment Is it possible to merge the history from US 15-501 to both US 15 and US 501? If we can, let's do that and delete US 15-501. If not, we could history merge into US 15 and then consider US 501 a fork of US 15. Hopefully, that would take care of the license issue. –Fredddie ™ 13:12, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Keep This is a major thoroughfare of the Research Triangle and an important part of Durham/Chapel Hill local identity. I see over a million ghits for 15-501 -wikipedia (the formal title is too specific for effective searching). As "15-501," the road has significance beyond what can be covered in articles on 15 and 501 separately. --BDD (talk) 20:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep - It's not Knowledge's position to second guess publishing decisions of reliable sources. There's hundreds of reliable sources that discuss U.S. 15-501. A recent one is Discussion group to study 15-501 corridor. The topic U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina meets WP:GNG. What about article x? - What about U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina and U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina is not a basis to delete the article U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 00:58, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes it is - redundancy. --Rs chen 7754 20:29, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
  - U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina is not redundant of U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina/U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina in the reliable source world and Knowledge is here merely to reflect that world. As I noted, there's hundreds of reliable sources that specifically discuss "U.S. 15-501" as a topic. Merely because some Wikipedians choose to write either U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina or U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina to be redundant of U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina doesn't make the topic redundant. It merely means these topic need to write a better representative survey of the relevant literature. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 03:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep notable thoroughfare through a major city. sufficient reliable sources both available and already in the article. Meets notability guidelines for a dedicated article. Additional the article should be renamed, removing "in North Carolina". This is unnecessary. RadioFan (talk) 15:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- The U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina and U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina articles already cover this segment of roadway. We don't need three articles saying essentially the exact same things. The challenge isn't notability, it's triple redundancy. Imzadi 1979 → 21:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
  - Merge content specific to the 15-501 section of road from the 15 and 501 articles into the 150, leave a {{main}} link behind so readers can find their way.--RadioFan (talk) 12:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
    - That doesn't make any sense. Where is there another article where you have to stop reading it at one point, go to another article to continue reading about it, and then you have to go back to the first article to finish? –Fredddie™ 22:44, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
      - Because 15-501 is an entity unto itself beyond highway 15 on one side and highway 501 and can (and has been) covered adequately in a dedicated article. That and mentioning a related topic in one article with a pointer to the more detailed dedicated article is pretty common here.--RadioFan (talk) 17:49, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
        But what if someone only cares about the routing of U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina, and doesn't give a rip about 501? --Rs chen 7754 01:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Convert to disambiguation page. I recognize the term 15-501 is a big deal, but there are significant portions of both US 15 and US 501 that are not part of the concurrency. In this case, redundancy is not necessarily a bad thing, and is definitely preferable to requiring a user to jump back and forth between articles. V C 14:40, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed. We have U.S. Route 2 in Michigan, U.S. Route 41 in Michigan and M-35 (Michigan highway) that each cover the same 7–8 miles of highway. As well, US 41 and M-28 (Michigan highway) also cover the same 60 miles. Redundancy isn't a problem when it's necessary. Imzadi 1979 → 15:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Relisting comment. Some of the editors above changed from "delete" to "convert to dab" or "redirect" due to the requirement that the page history be kept. However, it is entirely possible to keep the history and make U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina appear as a red link; all that's necessary is to move the page somewhere. It could be moved to a subpage of the talk page that the material was merged into, or it could be moved to a more likely title and then redirected to one of the relevant articles. After that, we can use the {{copied}} template on the pages that had material merged into them, and the problem would be solved. (See WP:MAD for the full explanation.) My reason for relisting is that once editors realised that this is a valid outcome, then they might want to alter their positions. — Mr. Stradivarius 14:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- We don't need to make it a redlink, and this AfD has been discussed for over a month (opened on August 20) so some finality would be appreciated. Imzadi 1979 → 15:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Convert to disambiguation page. Since deleting it isn't an option for various reasons, this seems the valid choice. I feel another redundant page would be pointless. ``WashuOtaku (talk) 19:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Comment - I checked again and the hundreds of reliable sources that specifically discuss U.S. 15-501 are still there, so my position remains keep. "U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina" is recognizable to readers, unambiguous, and consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources. Proposing that U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina should be made into a DAB because there are articles on U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina and U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina is nothing more than the What about article x? argument listed in Knowledge:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Same reasons expressed here. Nothing is changed since then, and this entry has been recreated even without prior discussion. The subject of the biography has no encyclopedic value and was involved in a massive spam campaign both in it.wiki and here. The sources in the article just mention him or do not talk about it at all. Or it is just vanity press. The author of the article (Elena d'agostini) and the characters mentioned in it (Costanzo Costantini) are personally and financially involved with Bongiorno himself.

Keep for now - despite no secondary sources, I think the article is OK. It already has enough information to be decent.

That's not how it works here on Knowledge.

This article doesn't meet the requirements for notability of songs. The first section is taken from the album booklet itself which is not a secondary source, while the second two sections are based on insignficant mentions in other sources. Any relevant content can be placed in the main album article. Sailodge (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Strong keep. WTH? The song has enough information to have a separate article. VítoR™ 13:19, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Having enough information is irrelevant in this context. What the article needs for inclusion is signficiant, secondary and reliable coverage: the four reliable sources provided do not demonstrate this. Sailodge (talk) 14:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Strong keep. Erm why has this been nominated for deleltion? Notbility guidelines state that if a song which is not a single has charted on a major chart or received an award nomination/award, then it is allowed to remain in mainspace. You should better acquaint yourself with notability guidelines. This is nonsense. AARON• 14:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Note: Sailodge (talk) has only ever made 14 edits to Knowledge. 5 edits in 2011, 9 edits in 2012. AARON•
- Please read the guideline further. It states, "Notability aside (which is charting or winning a major award), a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." In this particular article, there is a lack of in-depth coverage in reliable sources, putting aside the information sourced from the booklet, etc. Sailodge (talk) 14:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
  - "articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs" - It's a GA, so it's not a stub. There is enough information. End of. AARON• 14:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
    - Being a good article is totally irrelevant here, anyone can put that little green icon on the article and list it under the category. What we need here is significant coverage in reliable sources, not just regular information from primary sources such as the album itself. Sailodge (talk) 14:33, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
      - It's completely relevant. If the reviewer thought it was not long enough, it wouldn't have been passed. Simple as. And no, no one can just add the green icon without it being through a review. It's completely irrelevant that the reviews came from the album. That's what an album review is, a review of the songs on the album. Where else will reviews come from? AARON• 14:40, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
        You seem to have misread. I am referring to the album booklet as a primary source. By the way, I've removed your harsh closing comment as WP:NPA is Knowledge policy. Sailodge (talk) 14:51, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
        There is no better source than the album booklet credits to site the credits and personnel. It's direct from the singer. And that wasn't a personal attack in the slightest. I think you need to establish yourself more on here instead of nominating articles for deletion despite you contributing next to nothing. AARON• 14:57, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
        Album booklets are primary sources and therefore not independent from the subject to establish notability. And I think you need to calm it down and not take this discussion about this article's notability so personally. Sailodge (talk) 15:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
      - Sailodge is wrong with regards to GA status; as can be seen here, the article did, indeed, pass through the GA process. CtP (t • c) 22:32, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep per precedent. That said (and realizing I might be in the minority), I'm not really a fan of these kinds of articles in general. That is, the song appears to lack any significant coverage in independent reliable sources, thereby failing WP:GNG, and WP:MUSIC also states that "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Regarding the line in WP:NSONGS which states "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article", if we take this literally, than we can easily craft articles for most every song from every album, provided the album's liner notes - and a couple of album reviews - exist. That reasoning kind of goes against the spirit of the guidelines, IMO. I'm not saying liner notes can't be legitimate sources, but they do not factor in establishing notability. Virtually the entire "Recording and production" section of this article is taken from the album's liner notes, and the bulk of that information is repeated in the "Credits and personnel" section. That leaves the "Composition and critical reception" section, which contains trivial/passing mentions of the song within reviews for the album. I just prefer seeing something where the song is the focus - not necessarily the main subject of a write-up, but at least where it's discussed in some depth. As for the song charting, that alone does not warrant a standalone article, as songs routinely get redirected/merged when the article contains little other information - ie, the album's liner notes were not incorporated. Anyway, I'll support keeping this article since that seems to be the result in similar, recent AfDs involving songs by Lady Gaga. Gongshow 07:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

¡Tré!

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

Whatever written here is clear copy of what I've written at ¡Uno! and there is no difference other then one or two lines which are either unsourced or unnecessary. Track listing is not released and nor has been any confirmation of songs from the album or singles. It is best to salt this and redirect to Green Day for now. Though not failing GNG, it is clearly copy of other article. It is WP:TOOSOON and I can do much better with this once there are more details out. TheSpecialUser 06:51, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep I think it's clear by the sources the album exists in some fashion and will be publicly available in a few short months. While the "word-for-word" thing is a problem, it's also easily corrected. I believe this article passes the necessary policies (WP:GNG, WP:N, WP:NALBUM) to continue to exist. The album work has been released and was previously on the article prior to it's redirection, which I undid. In short, keep, it more than meets the necessary policies to be kept. Just needs a re-write to keep it from being a word-for-word copy of another article. CRRays Head90 | 06:57, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

No problem with changing words but can you add more info to differ the article, like 21st and AI are? Even if changed wording, the meaning remains the same as it is in UNO. It is impossible as there are no details available out there, right now. TheSpecialUser 07:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

They're part of a trilogy all announced at once. A lot of the information will be the same, it is inevitable. CRRays Head90 | 07:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

It's about time that both Tre and Dos have a wiki page, we know a lot about the albums already, even some of the songs have been confirmed, so there can be a partial track listing (just without numbers). For example we know 99 Revolutions is going to be on Tre as well as Stray Heart. The first confirmed in an interview when they first announced the trilogy and the latter during the radio interview with Zane Lowe. Also in the end all three of the wiki pages will end up very similar anyway, and its just a starting ground right now. Cruiseshipfan (talk) 11:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to Green Day for now. The album is definitely scheduled for release, and some details are known about it (cover art, names of a couple tracks) but it's still too soon to have a stand-alone article. As the release draws closer one expects more sources and info will become available, at which point it can be un-redirected and expanded. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:13, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Redirect/merge to Green Day. Much of ¡Tré!'s "Recording and release" section is identical to that of the ¡Uno! article. Understandable, but it also shows - along with no confirmed track listing - that there's little individual notability for ¡Tré! at this time, and that it'd be sensible to wait a bit for more specifics to emerge. Gongshow 08:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Ngoc Minh

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

Does not appear to be a complete hoax, but unverifiable. In particular, this is supposedly a Chinese poet, but the article uses a Vietnamese name (with no suggestion that the alleged poet is from what is now Vietnam or southern Chinese regions that were culturally related to Vietnam). Further, it incorrectly states that Qin Shi Huang died on a search for the islands (he did send Xu Fu, among others, to look for such islands, but never went himself). While it does cite a published source, what is in here is simply too unreliable and too unverifiable to stand. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 03:27, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Did you actually consult the source listed before concluding that this source did not verify any of this information? It doesn't sound like it from your comment, even if you end up being right about the information being unverifiable.
The first version of this article (posted anonymously back when that was still possible) had all of its present substantive content, attributed to that one book. The book is listed at Amazon with a "look inside" feature here, and using their search tool for "Ngoc Minh" or just "Ngoc" gets zero results; the index is also visible there and contains nothing relevant to any of this article's content. "Ngoc Minh" + Qin + poet gets nothing relevant via Google Books. This all suggests it was an outright hoax. postdlf (talk) 03:43, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete - Let's just be polite and say that this is a GNG failure of dubious veracity. A Vietnamese name for a Chinese poet seems unlikely. Started in 2005 by an IP, so good luck getting the creator to lend us advice on sourcing — if this is indeed legit and not a hoax. I'm not seeing anything but WP and WP mirrors in English.

Apparently, User:Dragon Loy has created some redirects to this page, Chester Yeah, Chester Thing, and Chester Yeah!, which pretty much would extend the Chester See article creation program. Zappa O Mati 13:07, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

An orphan stub article with a single source, which only mentions the website as a small feature of a larger piece. The article has had a 'notability' tag for 17 months, and doesn't appear to pass the guidelines on WP:NWEB.- Donkey1989 (talk) 01:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete. I did a search and was only able to find one sole news source that actually focused on this product. The other news coverage is the very brief paragraph written in the aforementioned BBC article, meaning that there isn't enough coverage of this product/website to warrant it having a Knowledge article.

Delete - no reliable sources or indication of notability (links provided are just popularity lists for various software in Russian). created by an SPA as possibly promotional. Dialectric (talk) 03:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Not delete - What differences between this article and for example B2evolution, AdaptCMS or even MiaCMS. Which are even less notable than LiveStreet? If it looks like an advertisement — tell me what to do, and I'll edit it. This article exist on Russian and Español wiki, and nobody wanted to delete it. I created it just to mention about it in PHP CMS LIST. If you think there is lots of external links - fell free to delet them.-- W 09:45, 17 September 2012 (UTC)— Wihola (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Pointing out that other articles on a similar subject exists does not prove that the article in question should also exist. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS--Hu12 (talk) 13:25, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

You forgot why anything at all exist here — because of enthusiasts such as me. Feel free to remove all links in the article you think them promotional and I will not make any roll back. I think you just do not want other know about yet another CMS because of some ephemeral "not notable". It will not become notable because of you. I spend some time to translate this article, and I'm not a developer, I'm not earning money from it, I'm from Ukraine but it's russian CMS and I'm not going spend any more time for arguing. So, if I'm even a newbie and guest on em.wiki - very nice meet. But I have been with Wiki for 4 years, here's my account, so I'm not a SPA. See ya -- W 20:46, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Strong delete - this software product quite evidently does not have significant third-party coverage in reliable sources, obvious WP:GNG fail, probably a vanity article by product's creators. JoshuSasori (talk) 01:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Delete non notable. Needs reliable third party sources. The creator said "It will not become notable because of you" which implies it's an advert. Matthew Thompson 03:27, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Abdoul would appear to pass criterion 6 of WP:NBOX by virtue of his 2006 fight against David Haye being televised on Sky Sports, a premium channel. There are also many artices about him found by clicking on the word "news" in the nomination statement, which would suggest a probable pass of the general notability guideline. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:51, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Delete He's a journeyman fighter who's never come close to a top 10 ranking or major world title fight. With all of his fights, it's not surprising he's mentioned in articles. However, the coverage I saw was all WP:ROUTINE and that doesn't meet the WP:GNG criteria. Mdtemp (talk) 14:51, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete - WP:GNG this sport has failed to achieve significant third-party coverage in reliable sources. JoshuSasori (talk) 01:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Delete - Fails to meet WP:GNG with only primary sources and no WP:RS. NFLisAwesome 01:33, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Delete - There are few sources to support this article aside from the tambourelli.org links and I found nothing useful with Google US and Google UK news. However, I found this Detroit Free Press news article from 1903 that mentions "tambourelli" despite that this Knowledge article claims it was started in the 1970s. Either way, there is nothing to support this article and it is an orphan so it wouldn't link to any other articles. SwisterTwister talk 06:25, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment It reads tremendously of promotion, however, don't expect that to mean much. Just litter it blisteringly with arbitrary sources, then steam over anyone who wonders about it, and claim everyone who questions the neutrality of the material as biased. Works wonders from what I hear :) Should that fail, it's a candidate for deletion because of it's apparent promotional nature. Яεñ99 (talk) 10:24, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Delete - No real sources to indicate notability of this musician. I'm finding a few hits, but none of them are substantial. The ones that aren't from social networking sites, and thus are unusable, are usually very brief mentions of his name in listings of performers, or just self-written bios. He played the trumpet in a very minor musical, so he gets a few name drops in relation to that, but none of it is actually substantially about him enough to establish notability.
