78.8 FM

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

Delete Redundant article as it is not a list of stations that broadcast on 78.8 FM.Pug6666 19:02, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
'Keep' This conforms with all other frequency lists. It IS a list of stations on 78.8 MHz. Whether 1 or 1,000 stations operate on a frequency is irrelevant.Stereorock (talk) 03:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep as conforming with the standard format for frequency lists. Was the AfD not craeted the normal way? It's missing the headers and not logged with the daily AfD listings. If this was created out of process, any discussion may be moot and a procedural keep would be likely mandated. - Dravecky (talk) 07:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Vegan Reich

Doesn't seem to be a notable band; outside of the two given external links, i couldn't find any reliable sources.

Keep - The seminal band of the hardline subculture of straight edge hardcore punk. HERE'S a snippet from punknews.org on their reforming in 2009. THIS is coverage in a book published by HarperCollins, Everybody Hurts, by Trevor Kelley and Leslie Simon.HERE'S an interview (doesn't count to GNG) if somebody wants to improve the piece. HERE'S another blogpost (also doesn't count to GNG) on the relationship of the band to hardline. Yep, they get REFERENCED on the humor site Cracked.com — again, no reliable source but further evidence that this band was bigger than a bread basket. PASSING REFERENCE in Razorcake (formerly Flipside), which is a reliable source for punk rock. There is no doubt more; we've got a low bar for garage bands and this band was way, way bigger than that.

I have attempted to locate significant independent reliable source coverage for her. All coverage I can turn up with searches such as this show her being quoted, but not being a focus of the coverage. It seems her organization may be notable (but it already has its own article), but that she individually is not. And since notability is not inherited it seems too early to have a standalone article for her. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 20:28, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

From TV Animation: One Piece: Grand Battle!

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

This is an improperly titled article containing a list of One Piece characters. There is already a full One Piece article and a List of One Piece characters. Additionally, some of the characters have their own individual pages. I was initially going to redirect, but it seems pointless with the non-standard title. More like a test page....or something.

Delete. "Unsalvageable mess" and "awfulness" don't go far enough. This article is basically a fraud. Almost the entire content of the article has nothing to do with the subject. Someone found a bunch of "references" related to potential health effects of some insecticides and extrapolated that into saying that this one insecticide causes all those effects and then began extrapolating further into pure fiction from there. There is no connection between the references and Tempo 20 wp. This is all POV-driven guilt-by-association style WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. I don't know if it is intentionally deceptive or just the natural consequence of simple-minded editing from an extremely biased point of view, but it is unfortunate that Knowledge (XXG) has been spreading this article's misinformation for years. ChemNerd (talk) 12:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy Keep Nom is clearly an example of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT, as are the two previous votes. Subject matter is obviously both real and clearly notable given the already existing and extensive list of refs, as well as the (literally) millions that Google turns up.

Keep and rewrite. His official web page at U. Illinois, says his "work has been exhibited in The Pompideau Center in Paris, The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Design, and The Museum of Modern Art (NY). His work has been reviewed in The Chicago Sun-Times, ID Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Design Perspectives, Business Week, Architectural Digest, Product Design & Development, Home World Design, Appliance Manufacturer, and CE Times". This needs proper sourcing, but if true, he does in fact meet the requirements for notability as a creative artist. Obviously, a total rewrite is needed; I've begun. This gives some signs of being a copypaste, but I have not found the source, and my rewrite should have removed most of it. If anyone find it, I can & will rewrite more completely. .

Keep. This gives some detail of the Pompidou exhibit; it seems Melamed was directly involved, albeit as an organizer not a contributor. I also found an article in the LA Times from 1993 about him, widely reprinted in major papers e.g. here in the Sun-Times. I still can't find anything about the MOMA exhibit, but his contributions look real enough to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Weak keep. Working with/or exhibiting in the Pompidou, MoMA and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Design, which is verified, establishes notability. The article on the LA Times is helpful as well. I'd prefer to see more third-party sources but his scholarly record (per google scholar) satisfies WP:ACADEMIC and the article manages to pass WP:GNG. freshacconci talktalk 15:52, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Forced adoption in the UK

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

Without citations, the bulk of this article can only be treated as original research. If it can't be supported by reliable sources, it should be deleted. The Anome (talk) 16:56, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Possibly rework into an article on ... whatever British legislation it is that's based on the U.S. Adoption and Safe Families Act, which has led to similar complaints in the U.S. (there was actually a 60 Minutes segment about this). But it'll have to be someone else, since I'm blocking the creator for their username. Daniel Case (talk) 17:05, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete. I've no idea what the previous comment is about (why does Daniel assume that British legislation is "based on" American legislation?) but this article is simply a POV rant from start to finish. Obviously there is child protection legislation which sometimes results in children being removed permanently from their parents. All countries have such legislation, and in all cases there will be disputes: claims that social workers have intervened inappropriately in some cases; claims that they haven't intervened quickly enough in others. This should be dealt with in articles about the relevant legislation, or on child protection practices. Even the title of this article is sensationalistic. It's presumably derived from Forced adoption in Australia which deals with historical practices that came to be controversial mainly because of their racial aspect (forcing Aboriginal mothers to give up children). The content of this article seems to have no connection to any comparable debates. Paul B (talk) 17:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

additional comment. The title is inherently problematic. There is no such thing as "forced adoption". What there is, is removal of children from parents. They then enter the social care system. If it is determined that the parents will not be able to look after them, then adoptive parents will be sought. But "forced adoption" is a misnomer. It's quite different from the days when teenage mothers were simply told to give up their babies for adoption, which is what the article on Australia describes. Paul B (talk) 17:48, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Keep if solid sources can be found. The article is rather nebulous right now.--Auric talk 17:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete; seems to be a POV rant. Every time I look at a source in the article, it's been misused in some way, and I'd be amazed if those sources were a fair selection of what's out there. It might conceivably be possible to write a neutral article on this, but we'd have to start from scratch. bobrayner (talk) 17:36, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete. Unencyclopaedic, NPOV-violating original research. What we need is a properly-sourced article on Adoption in the UK, which can then provide a neutral summary of the issue in a broader context. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:53, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep; Criticisms of the article in its current form are valid but to suggest deletion is wholly inappropriate. Forced adoption does take place in the UK. This has been reported on in many reputable newspapers and websites, members of parliament and respected journalists have spoke on the issue, using the phrase 'forced adoption' so the argument about deleting the page seems extreme. Further more to deny that forced adoption is real is to be blind to reality, Martin Narey, Chief Executive Officer of Barnardo's, has himself used this phrase to describe the practice that the article relates to. Newuser2111 (talk) 19:04, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Additional comment Request that neutrality and citations needed flags are removed from page. What sections are in dispute. Please provide specific instances of what needs citing since there is not a single 'citation needed' flag in the article. Also state exactly what points are considered not to be neutral. It is not good enough to make claims that the article needs citing or is not neutral. Provide specific instances or remove the flags. Newuser2111 (talk) 20:08, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Comment - Clear POV problems, but it does seem that the news stories behind the piece might meet the GNG threshold. Not sure what the title would be, but I wouldn't dismiss that possible outcome. Carrite (talk) 20:45, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Any article on 'forced adoption' that made even a pretence at adhering to WP:NPOV policy would explain why the adoptions were taking place - best done in the context of a broader article on UK adoption policy. To read the article as it stands, you'd get the impression that the courts were doing it out of spite, rather than in what they see as the best interests of the child. Maybe they get it wrong sometimes. Hell, maybe they get it wrong often (though I'd like to see actual evidence for this, rather than the melodramatic hype in the article), but ignoring the broader context entirely is simply unacceptable. You can't make a neutral article based on a premise that isn't neutral. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Delete I believe this is original research and synthesis, sprinkled with some serious POV (the original author's chosen username is 'Statekidnap'). The term forced adoption does not seem to be used as the central concept in most of the given references I checked - instead the issue seems to be a wider recognized problem with the UKs adoption system. If there were a series of influential articles or books or other material that referred to the issue this way then fine, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. If there were an article called "Adoption in the UK" then maybe that would be a merge target, but no such article exists - although there are a couple of per-nation articles: Template:Adopt. I don't doubt that this material merits some coverage, but not here, not in this wholly negative format, and not from a person who is obviously biased (with no prejudice as to what their motivation is) about the issue. Instead of truly documenting the issue, this is ended up as a case of WP:WORTHYCAUSE. §FreeRangeFrog 00:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete. Article is incoherent, inappropriate, and unsalvageable, per the frog and the grumpy guy. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:37, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Create wider article, then merge I like Andy's solution, involving the creation of an NPOV Adoption in the United Kingdom article, which can then provide a neutral summary of the issue as part of a wider treatment of the subject in a broader context. -- The Anome (talk) 09:15, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

What? There are countless articles that use the term Forced Adoption to describe the practice, many linked to from the page, there are also books that use the term. There's even a book called 'Forced Adoption' that covers the topic raised. What are you talking about? Do some real research! If you think the article is biased then make changes. It seems like there is a concerted effort to censor the topic. It is no good just saying it is biased, make specific allegations not just generalisations. What aspect of the page do you think is biased? The allegations here are baseless and biased. You are free to edit the page if you think it should be written in a different way, provide a justification of the practice is you like. Maybe a section on the history of forced adoption in the UK should be added. It should include the fact that in the 1970s tens of thousands of children were forcible removed from their mothers in the UK because they were born out of wedlock. Deleting the page is extreme. Rework the article. Newuser2111 (talk) 09:19, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep/merge The nomination starts by saying "Without citations" but the article has many citations and they include reasonable sources such as the BBC. The nomination was made about 1 hour after the article was started and so it doesn't seem that sufficient time has been allowed for its development. The worst case is that we'd merge into some larger article about the taking of children into care which regularly generates lots of coverage in the UK. See foster care in the United Kingdom for another article in this area. Warden (talk) 11:27, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep/merge The nomination was premature, made when the article was less than 90 minutes old. It is now 3 times the size in bytes it was then, and with far more refs, and only into its 2nd day. Hold off and revisit. Many of the critical points here (eg by Paul B above) make sense, but since we seem to have hardly any coverage of this area it seems unhelpful to descend on a new article and tear it to pieces.Johnbod (talk) 13:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep/chop/merge: The article positively has serious POV issues, and it isn't just a question of "what section", it's just that through-and-through it's written to accuse the UK government of child theft for whatever nefarious purposes, including "financial incentive". The paltry bits about the government's stance are rather token and almost push it even more POV since they're portrayed as defensive/apologetic (I removed the highly phrasing "the government insists"). Is there some useful content about criticism of adoption practices in the UK? Certainly. Is there a term "forced adoption" in some use? Sure. However, what we have here is a situation where the derogatory/accusational term has its own article, but the broader concept does not. There should be an Adoption in the United Kingdom, it should have a section on criticism which should be a pared-down version of the current with a careful eye towards showing both sides of the argument. If we're not having a greater article anytime soon, this page should be moved into a sandbox until the broader UK adoption page is created. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:19, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I think there is a problem merging this with the (as yet non-existent) Adoption in the United Kingdom. The article isn't really about "adoption". It about the forced removal of children from their biological parents. It's the removal that's the main thrust of the article. If it is to be merged, it should surely be to an article on UK social servives' child protection interventions, if one exists. Paul B (talk) 21:18, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, adoption is a red herring here. Johnbod (talk) 00:39, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep/chop/merge as per MatthewVanitas: there is well-sourced material here that should be kept on Knowledge (XXG) in some format, but this article under this title poses various challenges to WP:NPOV. Re-titling to something more neutral is perhaps the best approach, but what that terms should be, I'm uncertain about. Bondegezou (talk) 09:32, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete per WP:NOTSOAPBOX. Once you remove the POV, there's not much left. Many sources are to articles by Christopher Booker, a columnist with an axe to grind; especially in this context, I don't consider him a RS. Miniapolis 19:59, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete -- This is a highly POV article. The UK has a well-established procedure for child-safeguarding, which involves children at risk being taken into the care of the local authority. What happens to them is overseen by the court. The court has power to vest parental responsibilities in the local authority and to free children for adoption. This is inevitably only in cases where the parents oppose that course of action. It is inevitable that such parents will feel that their children have been stolen from them, but this will only follow a finding by the court that the parent cannot bring up the child properly. The process is a long one (perhaps too long for the child's good), but should provide enough time for the parent to reform her(/him)self to have the child back. Nevertheless, it is likely that there will occasionally be bad decisions by the courts, though not often enough to warrant this article. I cannot accept that such a POV article could be merged into something on adoption. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Delete Shot IN sweden, it appears the film had a very limited release in Sweden on June 17, 2011. That the "official website" apologized about their budget issues in October 2011 implies it did not get the final post-production touches they wished nor the hoped-for wider distribution. It can be viewed on Youtube, but lacking wider release or screenings and lacking commentary in reliable sources, WP:NF is failed. Schmidt, 18:30, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Delete I was unable to find any coverage in independent, reliable sources. Cullen Let's discuss it 19:47, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. If wikipedia is a place for pages like WordReference.com than it definitely should allow articles like Glosbe.com. Glosbe is a project very similar to wiktionary, as such it belongs to society, and having encyclopedic article in Knowledge (XXG) helps to build social community. I don't lsee any reason why having or not having Ads on site shall influence your decision. When page is ~10,000 position at Alexa saying, that the reason for this article to exist is to generate a few hundred visits more per month is wrong. But it's up to you. --Barman851010 (talk) 21:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

The difference is that WordReference.com has received significant coverage in many independent, reliable sources, and is therefore notable by Knowledge (XXG)'s standards. On the other hand, I can find no such independent coverage of Glosbe.com. Accordingly, the article should be deleted. By the way, this is an encyclopedia, not a tool to build "social community". Cullen Let's discuss it 22:07, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

I think I get the point. Let me address the latter case: I meant wikipedia as a help of building "social community" in a sense: it is a place for encyclopedic data about a site. Information about site/community placed on site is non encyclopedic, it is, usually, full of marketing. The information about site/community/whatever placed in wikipedia is meant to be encyclopedic - independent, short, without marketing, editable to people not necessary being creators of the site. In such a way wikipedia is a help for users, as an independent source of information. It is a help for users, I did not call it a tool for building social community. By "users" I do not only mean online readers, but also people using our API to build their applications and several Universities that published their data through Glosbe. To address the Notability: I didn't put "marketing" data in the article, what maybe was a mistake, as notability seems to be very close to marketing. Glosbe does contain the biggest translation memory available online (I'm sure that Google has bigger one, but it is not available for normal users), especially bigger than Linguee. Glosbe contains the biggest bilingual dictionaries for a lot of languages, to mention some: Avaric-Turkish dictionary, Belarussian-English, Polish-Czech, Polish-Latin and others; it provides biggest Bosnian-other european languages dictionaries. There are the biggest in a sense of number of phrases covered. It is place where Kah language constructors do build their dictionary. What I also consider notable, is that around 200,000 people uses is as an everyday tool. However you are right, I think that you won't find any mention about Glosbe in Times or even The Huffington Post. I don't think I could give any other reason not to delete this page, so please do whatever you think is appropriate. However I'd find it weird if what makes a thing "notable" is whether some "Big Website" mention it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barman851010 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Barman, please read WP:NOTABILITY. Although as a new editor you may consider it "weird", what makes a topic notable here on Knowledge (XXG) is significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. This is the opposite of "marketing". Cullen Let's discuss it 17:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, such politics really surprises me. Thank you Cullen for making this clear. AFAIK there is one (not authors linked) article about Glosbe and even one presentation made by an user (not to mention some links and short articles on a few translators blogs). I assume those are too unimportant to be considered notable. Thank you for your time anyway. --Barman851010 (talk) 20:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

AfDs for this article:

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

Article does not establish notability per WP:BAND. All the article's references are either self-published, press releases, or passing notices of live performances supporting notable bands. Articles on this band were previously deleted and speedied; see Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Human Factors Lab and deletion log. Muchness (talk) 12:31, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Band does meet requirement. As you've already stated there are noted press releases. The guideline states

" 1.Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following: Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising. Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases. " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.10.254.215 (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

should not be deleted. Meets guideline number 4 under tour coverage 4.Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.10.254.215 (talk) 16:32, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Looking over the link you provided on the previously deleted page,it's obvious that that page was the victim of a malicious vandalism and in my opinion should not have been deleted. But that page being deleted is irrelevant because weather they meet the notability guidelines or not a couple years ago when that other article was written, they do meet them now and there is a large amount of press especially regarding their new album and their recent work with Chris Vrenna. As well as their tour with Kmfdm. Yes they were one of 3 bands on the tour but that was a international tour that they were billed as being a part of.

should not be deleted as per number 1.on notability guidelines the statement saying their press in only about bands that supported on tour is incorrect. Our of the 22 listed press releases on their site 21 mention there name as a main part if an article. References 1,9,10,11,12,13 and 20 on their page are independent press release ONLY about human factors lab. They meet the notability guidelines 66.87.149.168 (talk) 17:09, 8 June 2013 (UTC)mike

Comment: press releases do not count towards establishing notability. The coverage regarding tours is trivial; the articles only mention the band's name and state that they're supporting. The only non-trivial coverage I can see in the article references are this news article, which reads like a brief press release reprint, and this review, which is from a site that writes promotional reviews for a fee (source). I'm not seeing any evidence of non-trivial, non-press release/promotional coverage in reliable, independent sources. --Muchness (talk) 23:39, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of previous article is irrelevant to the claim that the band does not currently meet notability guidelines. Reading over the article for deletion discussion and statements from names like "bring them down" it's obvious these were fake names created to maliciously attack the bands wiki page. Also that page was deleted in 2010. Even if someone agreed that they were not notable then.

In addition to being direct support on major national tours the band has also redivided press from regen magazine. Another large online music publication regarding their own headlong tours.

The gauntlet is one of the largest and most reliable online news sources there is. The fact that the gauntlet ran an article on them seems to show notability almost in itself. Given their reputation it isn't uncommon for other online magazine to also run stories that te gauntlet runs. Sometimes word for word. I dot think this take away from the notability of the band though. But just to provide information here is a link to a different magazine that is covering the same topic.

This one is a brief interview with M. Raeesi, head of Iranian young voice actors, and he says that another animation will be dubbed with Majdi Habibi as the head of the dubbing team.
This one is a collection of brief news articles and one of them is about a movie which will be dubbed with the voices of Majdi Habibi and others.
I think that 1, 2, 3 are dead links.
This link also a news article cites Majdi Habibi among others as a voice actor of another animation.
The same news article published by Magiran, Iranian newspapers database.
Some photos of some voice actors.
This news article also talks about another animation with some voice actors among them Majid Habibi. and the same news artice.
1, 2 Again some photos.
Other photos.
An article by Majdi Habibi.
This is a report which cites Majdi Habibi.
This one is a short interview with Majdi Habibi about working as a voice actor in Iran.

Among these sources, Mehr News Agency is a good source I think.Farhikht (talk) 20:19, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to do that. The references that simply list his name amongst those of other voice actors would be too trivial to establish notability, but I believe that the first two, which make special note of him for being the head of dubbing teams, might fall under the section of the guidelines that I mentioned. If so, then when taken together, multiple references like these would be enough to establish notability. I assume that more than two would be necessary, but then there's also the interview with Habibi, which I think would constitute significant coverage.

Hmm, really? I'm no expert on this, but really it would kind of surprise me if RSs couldn't be found or if it didn't pass GNG.

Please don't misunderstand. I don't know much about philosophy but I'm pretty sure this is a legitimate topic. We should have an article on this subject. My point is, all we have are two sentences and some see-also links. Let's delete this and maybe at some point in the future an editor can write a responsible version.

WP:ASZ is an essay, and not one to which I would subscribe. Is there any authoritative guidance or persuasive reasoning to explain why we should keep a two-sentence stub? Chris Troutman (talk) 18:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't agree with all of ATA either, and I'm not sure what value the stub really has, but formalities aside, it definitely does not seem to be the usual practice to delete an article just because there's no one immediately available to enhance it to a useful state. --Trovatore (talk) 20:57, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

(ec) Nominators are expected to give a policy-based reason for deletion so you (Chris) kinda shoulda checked that out already. :-) Anyway, no worries. Knowledge (XXG)'s deletion policy says, "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion." Since you feel there should be an article on the topic, the only problem is that the one we have at the moment is too short, and that can be solved by regular editing. Since article topics are supposed to be notable and notability implies that there's enough material for more than a stub, we shouldn't have articles that can never be expanded beyond a stub, but this doesn't seem to be one of those. (Actually, WP:STUB defines a stub to be a short article that has the potential for expansion.) Dricherby (talk) 21:22, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

The stubbing of this article was part of that cleanup.

McGeddon (talk) 12:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I was the one who added this page's link in multiple wikipedia pages (which are relevant to Market research and management). My intention was not to advertise but to spread market research in developing countries like India, Indonesia, Nigeria etc. I was not aware that my actions would be considered as advertising. Even I do not have any direct relationship with this University. But have to admit one thing, this institute is doing a great job in above mentioned countries where awareness about market research is very minimum. I tried to contribute some thing to the Bottom of Pyramid Youth population in developing counties by spreading market research (since market research has high employment generation capacity). I can remove those unnecessary links of this page in other wiki pages since it is seen as advertising. I am collecting the secondary sources right now and could add dome more sources soon.

Normally he should be mentioned on the Romanian Army in Afghanistan or something like that. But no such page seems to exist here. 86.121.18.17 (talk) 23:36, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I suppose the dispassionate argument here would be that a US soldier in a similar situation would not have received that kind of press coverage. In Romania there were a few short press articles when he was wounded, for instance . And in the wake of this he became a bit of cause celebre for the Romanian diaspora in the US surely helped by his long stay at Walter Reed. Then the US administration, via their embassy in Romania, released those Obama photos (apparently on the 2nd Obama visit), creating the 2nd major wave of press coverage in Romania. Finally the 3rd major wave was upon his return to Romania and being decorated by Basescu. These last two events were a few days apart; some papers covered them in separate articles. Never mind related coverage like the defense minister visiting Enache's home village to check out his future accommodations . There were also some side stories in the Romanian press, not exactly PR stunts, like the fact that the Romanian government apparently had to approve a new unqualified garbageman post for his son, who apparently had not obtained his high-school diploma at the time; this bit was in the local news, but I hope you get the idea on the level of interest his story got ... There were a few other articles on various details like how much his wheelchair costed and who paid for it, interviews with the neighbors in village, etc. For comparison, given their relatively low number and immediate disclosure by the authorities, most Romanian KIAs in Afghanistan have had at least one wave of reasonably detailed press articles, e.g. Petre Tiberius had , sans Obama photo but with posthumous decoration by Basescu. The wounded have generally not been individually covered by the Romanian press, until this case, and certainly not to this level. I don't know if the unusually high media interest in Enache's case translates into long-term encyclopedic interest... 86.121.18.17 (talk) 10:26, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

But if you still don't believe me, why don't you look at this: http://www.vomtech.com/whatis.htm Or: http://corebalancetherapy.com/manual-therapy/ If this is a new method of treating certain types of injuries affecting dogs, I don't see why it can't be included.

Userify - If this is worth a standalone article then I would expect more coverage and independent coverage; Knowledge (XXG) should not be publishing or pushing practices that are not peer-reviewed and promotional. The sources in the article are largely statements unrelated to the development, practice and standing amongst academic and practicing peers. Userifying is better than deleting at this point.

Keep The argument that the coverage of alternative medicine is inherent "pushing it" is against policy. Rather, we cover it objectively. It needs expansion , and an attempt to see if it has been discussecd in the mainstream. DGG ( talk ) 20:06, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep. The high-profile disappearance and apparent murder of the pretty teenage daughter of a policeman. This will clearly receive a great deal more coverage in the national media. Jim Michael (talk) 18:29, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment - In case you do not want to read my long explanation below, this basically comes down to what you said about the coverage. There will be a "great deal more coverage" but there isn't at the present time. Also, the incident will have to have some time of lasting effect on people, in more than just the community where it took place. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Comment - Jim, that is the criteria for a tabloid media or Sky News frenzy not an encyclopedia entry. Keri (talk) 08:18, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Delete - For Knowledge (XXG) EVENTS, the “rule of thumb for creating a Knowledge (XXG) article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting (national or global reporting is preferred).” This is receiving national and now international coverage. However, we need to keep in mind that “routine kinds of news events” (e.g. murder), “whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.” Here, the question is if this case will have a WP:LASTING effect. In this case, there would need to be something unusual about the case. For instance, kidnapping usually does not qualify for an article; however, events like this kidnapping qualify as there are many variables that make it unusual (rape, fathering of the child, captivity for so long, etc.) that will make it something for people to talk about for decades. In the case of Georgia Williams, it is possible that the story gets to that level, but it has not received enough attention at the moment to have a lasting effect outside of the community in which it took place. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Delete per reasons directly above.--85.210.99.191 (talk) 21:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Delete A sad story, but not at present an unusual one or something that will cause it to stand out from others in history. In addition, an arrest has been made and the matter is sub judice, so any information about the circumstances of her disappearance etc will be of the nature of speculation and there are no truly reliable sources. Aside from any very controlled information which the police choose to release journalists are relying on information from sources who do not have direct knowledge, are witnesses who may have been advised to withhold what they know, or even those who have reason to spread disinformation. The best time to consider creating such articles is after the trial, when the lasting significance if any is clear and the facts have been tested in court. --AJHingston (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Comment - we don't usually wait until a trial has ended before an article about a crime/death is created. Jim Michael (talk) 22:50, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

But we probably should! It is very difficult to keep such articles to the disappearance and search themselves, and there are good reasons why the facts of what actually happened usually only emerge at trial. A decent interval also makes it easier to judge lasting significance and notability. --AJHingston (talk) 23:52, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Delete This is not of sufficient general or permanent interest. that the individual is "pretty:, "teen-aged" and "the daughter of a policeman" is irrelevant to any encyclopedic interest. I am rather reluctant to delete under NOT NEWS if there is something intrinsically exceptional, or major international coverage, but I nonetheless cannot justify this article. FWIW, I do not think that the UK "sub judice" rule has any relevance to us. If we did know the name, we could include it (as the article does currently include it in the footnotes) if the article were otherwise justified. Our BLP policy is what applies, and our equally important policy of NOT CENSORED. (I recognize that editors in the UK may not want to add such information, but that should indluence no one elsewhere.) DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

The sub judice rule does restrict reporting in the UK, though, and accordingly what is reliably known. Rumours may be rife, but those in a position to contradict them will usually be unwilling or unable to contradict them. We have bitter experience in recent times of how speculation in such cases can run riot and even supposedly RS can convey information which turns out to be completely wrong. That problem is not confined to Britain. Wikipedians need to learn from that, and BLP needs to be rigorously enforced. This has nothing to do with censorship, it has to do with avoiding inaccurate and misleading information appearing in WP. --AJHingston (talk) 08:40, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Delete No indication yet that this single event will have a noted and sourced permanent effect of historical significance. Per the notability guideline: most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news... – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Keri (talk) 08:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete Per all the reasons given above. Nothing to suggest that this sad incident will have any enduring significance or any enduring significant coverage, which is what is required. The current media interest, which will no doubt continue with any subsequent developments or criminal trial, is mid-level at best; and even if it were greater we'd still fail the significance point – WP is not a newspaper or a place to round up crime and courts news reports. There are far too many of these kind of entries on WP, misleadingly justified by the claim that there are "lots of sources". Let's not add another one. N-HH talk/edits 10:48, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Rename Murder of Georgia Williams and Keep. This has been a high profile casein the British news. A body has now been found, and a person arrested. Whether we will keep this in the long term is perhaps a different question. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:38, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Most of the delete comments have explained why news reports of crimes or incidents such as this are not, by WP policy or guidelines, enough on their own to justify retention of such entries, without any additional factors that would create enduring significance. Are there any policy-based reasons for retention, or policy-based rebuttals of those fairly comprehensive delete comments? As noted, it's not even that high-profile in the media, and even if it were, is that enough for an encyclopedia? And I don't see why or how the discovery of a body or the fact that a trial may follow shifts the nature of the discussion. Nor do I understand the suggestion that it is supposedly notable now, so we should keep the page for now, but that it might not be in the long term and that we may wish to delete it later. Isn't that back to front? Something acquires notability, it doesn't lose it. N-HH talk/edits 22:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

"it's not even that high-profile in the media"!! Come again? Have you actually been looking at the media in Britain recently? Most murders are not particularly high-profile. This one certainly is, and that's the reason for keep opinions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:01, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Um, yes, I have. It is getting coverage, like lots of other tragic events and crimes, but it is not splashed all over the front pages every day. It is occasional inside page/down the running order stuff in serious media – as I said, mid-level. That aside, there is the issue of what such coverage, however wide, means for encyclopedic notability. As referred to already, from WP:EVENT:

"not every incident that gains media coverage will have or should have a Knowledge (XXG) article. A rule of thumb for creating a Knowledge (XXG) article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting (national or global reporting is preferred)"
"News organizations have criteria for content, i.e. news values, that differ from the criteria used by Knowledge (XXG) and encyclopedias generally. A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Knowledge (XXG) article"
"Routine kinds of news events .. including most crimes, accidents, deaths .. – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance" etc etc –

Previous AFD debates are also pretty clear on this. N-HH talk/edits 10:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Will AfDs ever be free from nominators simply using the pithy "NOTNEWS"? as a reason for deletion of an article? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:01, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Subsequent Delete comments have more than elaborated on the detail of the arguments at stake, as well as highlighting the paucity of reasoning being offered in favour of Keep. As for my specific question here, the answer is, as evidenced by the main comment immediately below this one, "Clearly not". N-HH talk/edits 19:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

The point is the the nominator couldn't be bothered to come up with a better reason. As ever, it is easier to destroy than to create. You may not agree with the reasoning behind the keeps, others of us clearly do. We feel it is common sense to keep an article on an event with such a high national profile. This is not a minor story in a local newspaper. It is also incumbent on those trotting out WP:NOTNEWS to actually read what that section says: it doesn't say what you clearly think it says. This event does not fall into the categories covered, since it is neither a first-hand news report nor "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities". Nothing else is covered by WP:NOTNEWS. To quote WP:NNEWS: "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources." In what way does this event not meet that criterion? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but none of the "Keeps" have, until now, even tried to explain anything at all. And even now you are talking in the first part of your comment about what you "feel" is "common sense". As for policy and guidelines, which you've now also addressed, the "Delete" reasoning has not just been based on the WP:NOTNEWS section of policy but also on guidelines such as WP:Notability and, more specifically, WP:EVENT. As for NOTNEWS, I know exactly what it says thanks, and you've rather significantly elided the "For example" that comes ahead of the categories cited, which presumably were chosen as being simply the most obvious things that it means when, before that, it explicitly says that "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion". Your assertion that "nothing else is covered" outside of the categories named is just plain wrong.

As for WP:EVENT, I quoted the points it makes above – which very explicitly exclude from notability deaths and crimes based solely on news coverage. Even the main notability page qualifies the basic definition in GNG by saying that, "it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage ... Even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage". And, in response to your final point, what "widespread" impact is it being suggested that this tragic event has actually had? Nor do we have "diverse sources" – we have some contemporaneous news reports in the UK media, mostly sourced in turn from PA most likely, which is not, as noted, the "significant coverage" required by GNG. N-HH talk/edits 16:51, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Your reference to "the rules" in your edit summary illustrates perfectly how so many editors misunderstand how Knowledge (XXG) works. Which "rules" would these be? -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Rename Death of Georgia Williams (since murder has not yet been proven in court) and Keep. Very high-profile case extensively covered and still being covered in the British national media. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:01, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Keep The rename should be "Death of (name)" as 'murder' goes against policy guidelines and death has been confirmed, so disappearance no longer qualifies. Seems to meet GNG; just needs a lot more work. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:12, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

I've moved it. If the editors who are in favour of retaining this article could improve the article, we may be able to show its notability - similar to Murder of Joanna Yeates and Murder of Sian O'Callaghan. Jim Michael (talk) 14:21, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

The media are limited about what they say about the case and the suspect, who has been remanded in custody, until the trial begins. The coverage will continue then. I don't know how to userfy - I guess this means moving the article to my user page. Jim Michael (talk) 13:19, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

You've got it. The page would be at something like User:Jim Michael/Disappearance of Georgia Williams. I'm not sure whether you can move it now or if you have to wait for the debate to be over then ask for it to be restored to your userspace.

Keep or merge into University article - We don't have a unique standard for herbaria, but I would suggest that they should be considered along similar criteria with libraries, archives, museums, and other kinds of collecting organizations. That is to say, a unique resource and collection would be notable for inclusion. It may not merit a stand-alone article if it's a small collection or part of a larger entity. I would like someone with more expertise on herbaria to say whether it's small for its size and in particular if it is a unique resource for Cyprus. I would say it would not be notable if it is not intended as a research collection but as a teaching or student collection, but according to the article, it sounds like a research collection. --Lquilter (talk) 17:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
