352 Inc.

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

Promotional, and probably not notable. As for promotionalism, thevute stories of how the company started in thedorm room is a staple of promotional writing: it flatters the developer and provides something to say. The awards are not significant. Fastest growing = not yet notable. Designing two ads the customers liked is not notability. I do not think the seo listing reliable.

This might be a plausible redirect to Martin Place, Sydney. It comes up immediately in GMaps, produces this in GBooks and seems obvious. James500 (talk) 19:58, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I would not support redirect, otherwise we will start redirecting every non notable business in Martin place there. LibStar (talk) 13:51, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Could you perhaps identify which criteria of WP:R you are referring to, if any? I think your argument is doomed to failure because this is a generic expression that could potentially refer to any chambers in Martin Place. The fact it appears in presumably independent sources doesn't hurt either. It is not obvious to me that this is an organisation rather than a place. In England, a "chambers" is a set of rooms. It isn't obvious to me that the arguments I am advancing are applicable to "every non notable business in Martin place". James500 (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment: I am finding some evidence that it's used in classrooms per this link, so I'm hopeful that there may be enough sourcing out there to warrant a keep. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Redirect to Eric Walters. I can see where you'd have created this, to be honest. This book is very frequently mentioned in various interviews and articles about him. It's also frequently mentioned in various reviews for his other works, so I can't help but feel that there is likely coverage out there that was never put on the Internet. However I can't prove that there is, so at this point in time the only thing we can do is redirect to the author's page and if/when these sources become available, add them and restore the article.

Danny Page

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

Candidate for U.S. Senate who has not received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The few independent sources that do cover the subject do not cover him in-depth or outside of the context of a single event (the 2014 election). Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:27, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

It is correct that the candidate has not received significant coverage in "reliable, independent sources". However, he has been discussed in the Tennessean and the Chattanooga Times Free Press, both of which are statewide-circulated newspapers, and both of which were cited on the page. His media coverage is similar to that of candidate George Flinn who was deemed to have enough credible sources to justify a Knowledge (XXG) article. It also contains more information and cites more sources than that of State Representative Susan Lynn. Composedinsantiy ( talk) 18:44, 11 September 2014 (CDT)

Delete Flinn's article isn't relevant to whether or not this one should be deleted. However, Flinn has served as a County Commissioner and Lynn is a State Representative. Page has never held office and has not received substantial coverage of his campaign for the Senate from reliable sources. Thus he fails WP:POLITICIAN. Tiller54 (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Delete Subject does not meet criteria for notability. ALPolitico (talk) 00:01, 16 September 2014
Delete per WP:POLITICIAN, candidates for office are covered in the articles about the campaign. And as Mr. Page is not otherwise notable, as evidenced by the lack of coverage about him from independent reliable sources, there is no need for an freestanding article.-- danntm _C 05:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
""Delete"" Page does not qualify per WP:POLITICIAN nor does he seem to have any other merits for judgement. Any information which is relevant to the election should be moved to the appropriate page. (Downix (talk) 06:25, 18 September 2014 (UTC))

Istanbul International Music Festival

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

No indication of notability, borderline A7 speedy deletion candidate. No independent coverage, content not verifiable, somewhat spammy. Nothing helpful found via Google. While many notable artists played at the festival, notability is not inherited. Huon (talk) 22:31, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

This is for verification. It is not a serious attitude trying to delete the article of a decades old, very known and sufficiently notable international festival. This is why I am not going to write anything else for now; will wait for others. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 22:37, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Weak Keep but Strong Clean Up Doing a google search sees reference to this festival event in a number of sites, for example here or here or here just from the first page or two of links. So it's likely the festival exists and even has some attention in Turkey. The problem of course is that this article is TERRIBLE and needs to be seriously cleaned up (e.g. the format for the inline citations should be brought into line with wikipedia's standards). It would also be wise to add links to english language secondary sources (if any) to avoid any confusion in the future. For all I know the four inline citations are to very significant coverage, but sadly I do not personally know the Turkish language. -Markeer 00:40, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

For your information, Markeer all four citations are in English. (Maybe you were confused with the surrounding texts due to the use of Google.tr. :-) They are the ones I found in the first 5 minutes of the AfD. The festival is more known and international than you imagine. I know personally the case of a Central European classical ensemble that is waiting for being included to the festival for many years. --Why should I have a User Name?

Keep, founded in 1973, member of EFA, seems clearly notable, - improve article, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep. There are enough independent sources to justify this. Some of them are in Turkish, but if we let that affect us, we get systemic bias at a stroke. The sources are there and accessible. Yes, puffy language like "World famous violinist, director and musicologist Fabio Biondi brought this lengthy opera to a powerful two and a half hour performance" needs to be dealt with, but the notability is obvious. --Stfg (talk) 15:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep. Forbes articles alone establish notability. Also, the reference to wp:TNT above is a pretty reliable signal, in my experience from other AFDs, of inappropriate zeal. Knowledge (XXG):Blow it up and start over is an essay, not policy. References to it are generally acknowledging that a topic is wikipedia-notable but suggesting that material contributed by editors be deleted, and the article be re-started. This ensures that valid contributions are NOT acknowledged, violating core Knowledge (XXG) principle that contributions are recognized. Specifically if a Knowledge (XXG) article is copied to somewhere else, users are required to give acknowledgement to authors. This breaks connection to authors who did identify a valid topic and probably provided valid material that was re-created in a new article, violating trust. So, definitely keep. --do ncr am 21:48, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep This article passes the test for me. It has produced evidence of notability, though I would like to see the referencing improve since a goodly number are PR style. There are sufficient solid, RS references for it to be acceptable here and the remainder need tidying up and replacing. There is an ANI discussion at present about the editor who accepted this through WP:AFC, arguably too early, where this has been mentioned, and that may lead to a reasonable number of opinions being placed in this discussion now.

Comment Although notability is not a problem in this case, thanks for taking the time to compile a list of articles and blog entries. (I moved your signature to make it clear where your post ends and my reply begins.) I looked through all the pages linked. This seems like a good time to mention WP:NEO:

"An editor's personal observations and research (e.g. finding blogs, books, and articles that use the term rather than are about the term) are insufficient to support articles on neologisms because this may require analysis and synthesis of primary source material to advance a position, which is explicitly prohibited by the original research policy.... Neologisms that are in wide use but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources are not yet ready for use and coverage in Knowledge (XXG)."

A future article that defines the necessary and sufficient conditions of a home screen (with references to good sources) would enable the reader to answer these questions:

Which UI elements constitute a home screen? Is the notification bar part of it, or just adjacent to it? Is that a platform-specific distinction?
What is the relationship to, or difference between, a home screen and an application launcher? (Cf. List of Android launchers)
Is the term home screen specific to certain UIs or computing platforms?
1. Is the GUI of a J2ME-based feature phone a "home screen"? Why or why not?
2. Is Microsoft's start screen an example of a home screen, or is it a different UI that is only similar to a home screen? The start screen in Windows Phone and Windows 8 function differently, and Windows 8 has a distinct shell. Is it still a "home screen" in Windows 8?

Ringbang (talk) 19:11, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Definitions of the topic are not difficult to come by. They are not precise (and they need not be), but they are easily found and sufficient to the purpose. Here is a selection from google books, limiting myself to those that have preview available. I have intentionally restricted myself to the first few years after each OS was introduced, as that's when the newbie books will be printed; those will have a higher likelihood of containing basic descriptions and definitions. For iOS:

Everything starts on the home screen. As you can see in Figure 3.2, the home screen provides access to major functions via the buttons along the bottom of the screen—Phone, Mail, Web, and iPod. Subsidiary functions are accessed via buttons in the middle of the screen—Text, Calendar, Photos, Camera and the like. Miller, Michael (2007). iPodpedia: The Ultimate iPod and iTunes Resource. QUE.

Keep – I would contend that this particular rank does lend credence to his notability; he is one of only 5 individuals who have - and can ever have - the 10th degree red belt, the highest rank in BJJ. While most of the records do seem rather sparse from that time period the article does seem to suggest he was as accomplished at professional fighting as his brother Hélio. Finally, while the main citiation only contains about a paragraphs worth of content about Jorge, it contains a similar amount of content for much more well-known figures, such as Carlos and Hélio, suggesting more that the author was seeking overall brevity rather than creating section length as any particular reflection of the importance of those being referenced. Buddy23Lee (talk) 20:45, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment - Additionally, this bio from BJJHeroes could be used to add much more substantive and detailed content to this currently stubby article. Buddy23Lee (talk) 20:59, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I am not convinced by the belt argument--the early Gracies gave themselves 10th degrees and declared no one else can ever attain that ranking. That sounds more like protecting a family business than a comment on notability. As for BJJHeroes, I am not sure that is either reliable or independent as a source. Even that source lists nothing for Jorge Gracie under "Accomplishments". BJJHeroes also avoids mentioning his loss to Euclydes Hatem, which is the only thing I can find Jorge mentioned for in independent sources (except for passing mentions in Gracie family histories, which don't show notability). Papaursa (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree it would have been a more heartwarming story if Jorge and the other Gracies had been awarded red belts through crowd sourcing or some similarly free and democratic process, but it still doesn't change the fact that the man is officially recognized by the overwhelmingly predominant BJJ regulatory agency in North America as the co-highest ranking jiu-jitsoka in the entire world. And while you're certainly right that BJJheroes is no Encyclopedia Britannica, it still remains one of the few highly-detailed founts of BJJ biographical info to be found online, even if it's more about breadth than depth. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a bio article on a notable jiu-jitsoka here (on the wiki) that doesn't use it as a source. Good find on the match against Euclydes Hatem - seems like yet another fact supporting notability and inclusion! :) Buddy23Lee (talk) 23:55, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

The father gives himself and his four sons a rank and declares no one else can ever have those ranks. That's not an indication of notability, it's an indication of nepotism. I wouldn't claim losing his only sourced fight boosts his notability. I haven't voted in the hope that you (or someone else) can provide some good independent reliable sources to support his claim. Papaursa (talk) 02:18, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

In due respect Papaursa, you seem to have somewhat mistaken understanding of the particular history here. The red and similarly fancy belts are a relatively recent creation and have nothing to do with the Gracie brothers' father, Gastão Sr. Up through the 1950's and 60's they only had a system of three belts - white, light blue, and dark blue. The implementation of the current system appears to have been put into place sometime in the later 20th century, though I'll be damned if I can find the exact date. Also, contrary to what you've been alleging, I had read somewhere that Helio himself was somewhat upset with having to start wearing a red belt, giving the impression it was more a forced organizational change and not a personal one. Be that as it may (or not), it still doesn't change the widespread recognition of Jorge Gracie as a notable fighter of his day and one of the early pioneers of BJJ, regardless of what color or other specialness his belt is. Buddy23Lee (talk) 05:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Since the Gracies have always controlled BJJ the belts are still about family and notability is not inherited. I'd rather focus on the notability of Jorge. If he's that significant to BJJ it shouldn't be hard to find some independent reliable coverage of him--some documentation to support the claims he traveled all over Brazil defeating everyone (besides Gracie proclamations). This would be the "widespread recognition" you describe. Papaursa (talk) 14:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

I think we can all get behind that idea. The one final caveat I'd caution is to rely entirely upon that fighting career for notabily, as if he were a proto-MMA fighter from a bygone time before fantastic record keeping. I still submit the given rank really is important - Not in and of itself. Not by how he may have or may not have received it - But as a reflection of his perceived contribution to what would later be formalized as modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Perhaps it is and was nepotistic, ethnocentric, xenophobic and every other bad thing you might allege that Carlos chose his brothers as his early instructors and partners in establishing his academy and spreading the good word (of BJJ). But I have little doubt that were someone else to have filled Jorge's shoes, so to speak, and helped to spread early BJJ as he did, he would have been awarded similarly high honors as well.

Comment To his credit, Buddy23Lee has added some sources to this article. However, I'm still having some problems seeing the coverage required to meet WP:GNG because there's a lack of significant coverage reliable independent sources. Let's look at the 10 sources: Number 1 is from a Gracie school, 2 is the IBJJF listing showing Jorge's rank, 3 is a black belt article on the Gracie family history where he merits a paragraph and is the 19th Gracie listed, 4 is the BJJ Heroes biography listing his achievements as "N/A", 5 appears to be a passing mention, 6 mentions him solely in the context of refusing a prearranged fight, 7 is a self-published book, 8 is a fight announcement, 9 is for an MMA Hall of Fame where anyone can nominate and people are welcome to vote on Facebook and Twitter (martial arts HOFs are not considered indicators of notability), and 10 is a passing mention from a non-independent source on Helio's 100th birthday. I'm sorry but I don't consider this enough to show he meets GNG. I haven't voted to delete the article because, despite what I feel is a lack of sources, the Gracie mystique/record makes it difficult to vote to remove the article. Papaursa (talk) 18:23, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Papaursa, in due respect; you're a tough crowd, and I love you for that. :) We both agree that finding rigorous online citations (or even book sourced ones) that approximate something akin to a Washington Post feature on this long dead fighter or memoir that at one time approached the best sellers list would and should be the aspiration here. Evidently however, no superlative sources are likely to be found at this jucture - I simply added what I could, in the time that I could - to lend more credence to the idea that the article's subject is indeed notable. Since our inclusionist/deletionist philosophies always seem as intractable as the current Isreali/Palistine conflict, let us now leave this matter to the ostensibly forthcoming other AfD editors to decide this article's fate. I believe wikipedia can and should be a proper respository for those seeking information regarding the original Gracie brothers and you, alternatively, do not think this article meets or exceeds our robust standards.

Delete No changes have been made to the article since September 2, so I am going to vote in accordance with my comments above. I do not believe it's been shown that he meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 00:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment - Again, our inclusionist/deletionist philosophies will likely never come to an accord on this issue, but please, let's be reasonable here; its more than clear he meets or exceeds a simple WP:BASIC. The man has an independent and, insofar as I can tell, highly rated book significantly featuring his deeds (as one reviewer put it "In Choque, it is evident by the sheer number of fights (fixed or otherwise) that George Gracie seemed to have an illustrious career as a ring fighter.") on top of the BJJ heroes bio and the distinctly reputable Black Belt Magazine article. Yes, it was but a paragraph, but that still holds quite a bit of significance of weight toward notability in totality with the panoply of other citations. Again, as I mentioned before, no citation sort of a major expose in a major publication is like to dissuade you of your stance and I can respect that. My greater fear is that any legitimate nobility of this bygone prize fighter will suffer discrimination due to the time period of his accomplishments (well, WELL before systematic MMA/BJJ record keeping) and the anglocentric nature of this wiki in general as it hobbles a man who lived his entire life in Brazil speaking only português. Had he been born post-1980 and won a handful of gold medals at some IBJJF sanctioned tournament all this time and effort would have clearly been spared. Finally, the only reason this article has yet to have been updated since the September 2 was that I assumed it was becoming redundantly evident this man met the basic criteria. If you truly believe this to not be the case, perhaps then you and the (also my friend) Mdtemp should adhere to your principles and list Carlos Gracie, the official founder of modern BJJ up for deletion, now that Jorge literally possesses twice the citations, rivaling in quality as well as that quantity. I've always believed that this wiki should be a place for those seeking knowledge to come, if only to find a stubby article on a bygone fighter with always improvable sources, as opposed to the alternative of sheer nothingness. I mean Christ, by your own rigorous standards, perhaps you should nominate Christ himself to be deleted. He seems just as liable to exaggeration in his familial claims and the sources coming from his time period our often dubious at best! (you know I love you Paparusa :) Buddy23Lee (talk) 21:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep - Significant coverage in many sources is considered by some to be the founder of BJJ. I could understand deleting this article Kyra Gracie but he was the only fighter.

Comment It would help if some of these sources could make their way into the article especially the non-primary ones. One of the big issues is that every Gracie and his dog has an article and not necessarily because they are notable. The term walled garden comes to mind and no - just being a Gracie does not confer notability. I am still holding off my opinion on Jorge - but I do understand both the need for clear references and the difficulty in finding them from an era that was pre-internet. It has to be demonstrated that Jorge was key to the development of BJJ.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment Jorge participated in the first organized BJJ event. He had the first undefeated run. He was for a period the only fighter in the Gracie clan. He set up a number of schools in different areas of Brazil. All of this should show that he was key in the development of BJJ. CrazyAces489 (talk) 05:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment I don't think (in at least in Jorge's case) it would end up a walled garden anymore than any other notable fighter. He can be written into the historical aspects of the main BJJ article and linked to any and all notable fighters he fought. Honestly, I'd be more than willing to expand the article and add those above sources and more but I've been waiting to see if the article would be deleted or not. Nothing sucks more than trying to put in all the time and effort only to have the article relegated to the trashbin. :\ Buddy23Lee (talk) 22:30, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep Machida Zelvia was only in a fully professional league (J. League Division 2) for one of the years that Ogawa was on the team: 2012. And for most of 2012 Ogawa was on loan to a team in a non-professional league (in the Japan Football League).

Delete. The "Keep: meets NSPORT" 1votes overlook the key aspect of the relevant notability guidelines pointed out by Sir Sputnik above. I completely agree with Sir Sputnik that in a case where the subject barely meets NSPORT and resoundingly fails to meet the GNG, the outcome should be deletion. Now, of cowhat urse, I can't be sure that the subject fails to meet the GNG as I can't search Japanese sources. But none have been presented. And we can't keep an article on an off-chance that the subject might meet the GNG. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:18, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Keep Passes WP:NFOOTBALL has played in J. League Division 2 which is a Fully Professional League.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Delete, all we have as claim of notability is a few minutes in the Japanese second division... in addition of what Sir Sputnik said, WP:NSPORT also says: "standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline. The guideline on this page provides bright-line guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline." I don't think a low-profile footballer as this one has some chances to meet GNG, my searches returned just websites of stats, unreliable sources and some false positives. Not enough. Cavarrone 20:27, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
Delete - Yes this player passes WP:NFOOTY, but only barely. Consensus is for young players that they are given a grace period once they make their fully professional / senior international debut to become more established, but this player has clearly retired and so GNG is the only concern here. There is no indication in his brief career that any achievements were ever made that garnered sufficient significant reliable non-routine coverage to establish such notability.

It would really help me (so that I can improve upon the article) if editors would give reasons why they think that it should be deleted. Isn't it a rule that at least one WP policy should be mentioned? Aside from a policy, a reason based on substance seems required, even if only out of basic politeness. My reasons for keeping this article are that the reasons given for deletion do not apply.

1. WP:GNG does not apply because:

a. Android media players are notable, because stark majorities of smart phone users use them. Every smartphone has a default player.

b. Considering that even wp:otherstuffexists is not a hard and fast reason for deletion, then this case of other stuff exists that is far less notable most certainly does not a reason for deletion make. See my examples. Why keep those, and delete this? (please don't repeat the htmleditor thing, it's a bit selfserving)

2. WP:SYNTH does not apply because SYNTH_isnot. This seemed obvious to me, but perhaps I'm alone in that. There's no conclusion drawn, even though information from various sources is combined. I'm curious, has WP:SYNTH ever been successfully used as a reason for deletion for a comparison table? Comparisons do not constitute Original Research.CrashTestSmartie (talk) 12:11, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep. Don't agree with WP:GNG WP:SYNTH assessment. I do however have some reservations that the article will be useful in the long term: it will need maintenance. --Cornellier (talk) 12:23, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

"It's useful" is a bad argument. NickCT (talk) 02:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

OK we get it NickCT. Please permit me to elaborate on what I meant by "It's useful": unlike the yellow pages, this is not meant to be a simple dumb list of items but rather a harvesting of information that exists in no other place and provides an objective overview of a collection of information. I say give the article a chance to take root and if it doesn't flower ... kill it. --Cornellier (talk) 03:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

@Cornellier: - Look, I'm not going to argue with you about whether it's useful or not. Maybe it is. But that's not the point. Articles have to be useful and encyclopedic. There are lot of potentially useful articles we could make that wouldn't belong in an encyclopedia. NickCT (talk) 04:05, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

@NickCT: Fair enough. Not to be pedantic, but what's the official definition of "encyclopedic"? I know there's a ton of WP:NOT but where's the WP:IS?

@Cornellier: - There are probably a couple ways to look at that question. I think the simplest is to point to notability. A subject deserves an article in an encyclopedia if it is notable (i.e. it has been written about in independent secondary sources). NickCT (talk) 14:07, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

@NickCT: Dear Nick, so far, you've used two invalid arguments against this article, which you've immediately abandoned when objections were made, SYNTH and "useful". So, your logic is weak, to the detriment of your other arguments. Merely citing a bunch of Knowledge (XXG) policies without bothering to actually defend and/or explain them properly is not gonna cut it, and frankly, diminishes your standing. Pruning is okay, but mindless pruning while rulethumping is decidedly NOT okay. You didn't even bother to address my points properly! So, you're not taking this seriously (enough). All the rules/policies you've cited also say that they're not set in stone. And encyclopedic, aside from it being subjective (what YOU like) you've failed STILL to show why the other comparison tables on more obscure subjects are encyclopedic while this is not. Are media players too low-brow for you, beneath you?

Large sections of the article are copied from other web pages, the two of the three sources are linking to for-profit organizations (one referencing a cost estimate page by a specific company), 2/3rds of the article has no sources at all (specifically Licensing and Incidents), only one link to this page is not in regards to warnings for malicious editing (largely self-promoting edits). There is no indication that this topic is notable Human.v2.0 (talk) 16:25, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep No evidence is provided to support the allegations above. In any case, such problems are best dealt with by ordinary editing per our editing policy. The topic is certainly notable as we have significant coverage in good works such as The Encyclopedia of Tourism and Recreation in Marine Environments or The Adlard Coles Book of Mediterranean Cruising. Andrew (talk) 18:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Opening segment is directly copied from here. Ref 1 is to an organization that runs training centers, the wiki for which is also dubious (there are no sources given for the article itself, references are just given for regional branches, and I don't see any google hits that show more than it exists). Ref 2 is decidedly just "a company who does this". These are the only sources used outside of the intro; the rest of the article has no references and there is very much original research. There is a total of one link from another wiki page, (almost) all other links involve malicious editing or this AfD. And frankly, neither of those books constitute "significant coverage" as they are both a few paragraphs that pretty much say "there are companies who do this".Human.v2.0 (talk) 19:02, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

The website page that you link to as the putative copyright owner is dated 2013 but the corresponding text in this article was created in 2009 - over five years ago. This indicates that the website got their text from us rather than vice versa - a case of backwards copying.

As for the training organisation, are you talking about the RYA - the Royal Yachting Association? They are a reputable and reliable source on the topic, being the main source of expertise and accreditation in this field. They seem comparable to a university or professional institution for this topic.

As for the other sources, as they provide paragraphs of information then this is adequate content per WP:SIGCOV.

Francisco D’Agostino is a businessman with nothing about his life and work which appears notable. There is no information that I could find about this man, other than his being accused of racketeering. In addition, the sources which discuss the charges only mention him in passing, as he is only one of three people accused along with their company. All three sources only mention D’Agostino one time. I would say that even if the charges of racketeering had been upheld and the suit was indeed going to court, it would still be a very weak reason for this man to have a wiki page. Now that the charges against him have been dropped, http://online.wsj.com/articles/judge-dismisses-racketeering-claims-against-venezuelan-businessmen-1408489055?tesla=y&mg=reno64-wsj I would say that there is nothing at all wiki-worthy about him, and this wiki article should be deleted.

You don't read well do you? Maybe that's your problem. Where did I mention volleyball? She is notable for THREE accomplishments, all very sourceable: 1) She won her national pageant, 2) she participated in Miss Universe (and got a lot of coverage just for doing that 3) she WON Miss Congeniality out of all of those contestants. Your repeated and aggressive defense of your move to delete all of these articles is reprehensible. Where does 73,400 or even 181 unique seem like a small number of hits? Each and every one of these contestants got a ton of coverage during the pageant and were on worldwide television. You are on an aggressive and misguided mission to delete appropriate content from wikipedia and fail to retract from that stance now that you have had time to think. I do not understand your motives.

Notability has been doubtful since 2009; nothing has been done to establish it since then.

Delete—Very few functions calls warrant their own article, and right now we don't even have an article for the much-discussed (and much maligned) strcpy(). I'm sure many passing references can be found, but I'm not seeing any discussion of why this particular function is significant or worthy of note. Delete per WP:NOTMANUAL. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 18:21, 23 August 2014 (UTC)Article now rewritten to focus on the library, not the function. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Keep. My idea of a passing mention is an entry in a phonebook or a cite or perhaps a single sentence. It certainly does not include a passage that continues for nearly a page: . Nor does it include this. And there seems to be something on 7 pages of this. This topic does seem to me to satisfy GNG. James500 (talk) 19:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

James500, I appreciate the legwork, but the first two links you've given refer to the CssQuery library, not the function call (I can't tell what the third link refers to). The library may well be notable, and I'd have no objection to deleting this article and creating an article based on the library. If you're up for skipping that process and rewriting the article now, I'd be happy to reconsider my !vote. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 19:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I probably lack the expertise to rewrite this article. I think I've just demonstrated that. James500 (talk) 19:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Looking into this a bit more, the library cssQuery appears to have exactly one public function, called cssQuery(). So you're within your rights to call me pedantic. And.... the article is a WP:COPYVIO of . Eh, l'll see if I can figure out how to rewrite this. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

IIRC copyvios should be expunged from history, so we might as well WP:BLOWUP this article. But for me, this function barely deserves a footnote in the article about Cascading Style Sheets. — Keφr 20:18, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Keφr, I agree with you that the function is non-notable, but I think the notability of the library is at least arguable. I reread WP:COPYVIO and didn't see anything about copyright violations having to be expunged from the history, but this isn't my area of expertise. Can you point me to the page you were thinking about? Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:46, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

How can you claim that the "library" is notable but the "function" is not? They are one and the same thing! How much are you going to write based on the sources that exist? Three sentences? It barely deserves a redirect. Together with querySelector this function/library can be just as well covered in ]. — Keφr 09:12, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Keφr: My Ph.D. is in computer science, so from where I'm sitting libraries and functions are chalk and cheese. Functions tend not to be notable because they (should) do exactly one thing, and beyond a bare description of how to do that one thing there isn't much to be said. Libraries are collections of functions, and are much closer to the level of abstraction used in thinking about the actual problem we're trying to solve. It's not a great analogy, but while we don't have many articles on sentences, we do have a lot of articles on books (even though they're just collections of sentences, they manage to be more than the sum of their parts). I count 62 functions in the current version, not one of which is notable on its own. Taken as a collection, I see a historically-significant library that had a strong influence on jQuery. If you'd like to expand the article, we could really stand a background section on the problem the library is trying to solve (and why the problem wasn't initially addressed in the design of CSS) as well as a mention of what other solutions are available. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 17:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, I know what a library is. This library consists of a single (user-visible) function, which makes distinguishing the two silly. If this library had an influence on jQuery, this only shows it deserves a mention at ]. Which can be put there without keeping apparently copyright-infringing revisions around. — Keφr 18:56, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

In all fairness, this topic clearly satisfies GNG. The sources contain a lot more than three sentences, and the article can be expanded. James500 (talk) 15:25, 24 August 2014 (UTC) And there are 49 pages of results in Google. How many of those have you looked at? James500 (talk) 15:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC) At the top of this page you appear to assert that the library and function are not the same thing. You are not being consistent. James500 (talk) 15:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

I was not aware that there was any infringing material in the earlier revisions of this page. As regards the removal of material from page histories copyright infringement is criteria 1 of WP:REVDEL. I am not sure what would happen in this case. James500 (talk) 23:17, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep Since the nomination, Lesser Cartographies and James500 have refocused the the article on the library. The three books now referenced in the article show multiple in-depth coverage sufficient for notability per WP:GNG. In my opinion, that this is the first public lib to support CSS1, 2, and 3 also contributes to notability. The article itself has been purged of copyvio and while but a stub, is well formed and referenced.

@Cutest Penguin: Well... while "significant" does not mean the same as "substantial", it does mean that the topic be spoken of in a more-than-trivial manner to confirm information within Knowledge (XXG), and the topic being spoken of within Knowledge (XXG) need not be the sole subject discussed within any confirming source... very cogent here because actors are usually spoken of in context to what they do

. Perhaps someone could open a "how to" school to instruct just how patience is used to weed out false positives about same-named persons. For instance, a very brief search finds actor Ashu Sharma's background spoken of here. His work on the major film Teen Patti is spoken of in more-than-trivial fashion here. His earlier theater work is spoken of in a more-than-trivial manner here. Someone who does not have Knowledge (XXG) notability rarely has their works spoken of in reliable sources. And out of India's billions, this kinda means something. Is he the "most notable ever"... no. Is he notable enough... yes. Schmidt, 03:29, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep - The article has a number of issues and needs clean up. We may all agree that professional boxing has a ridiculous number of sanctioning bodies, however, that makes it even more interesting for Knowledge (XXG) to have unbiased information on the different organisations. The WBF has been around for more than 25 years and has been sanctioning body of numerous title bouts involving notable fighters like Darrin Morris, Greg Haugen and Jeff Malcolm. Evander Holyfield has held the WBF heavywieght title. Indeed, the article should be improved, but the notability should not be questioned IMO. Pugilist (talk) 06:19, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Have re-written the History section that was a simple copy of the organisation's web page and have added a few references. More to come when a get a bit more time. Pugilist (talk) 08:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I have some problems with your edits and claims of notability. First, the sources you added are not enough to meet GNG--one is a fight listing for a boxer who once fought for an old WBF title in 1990 and the other is about the old WBF going bankrupt. Second, boxing organizations are notorious for using the same name as defunct organizations but that doesn't make them notable or tie their notability to the original organization's. For a similar discussion see Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/National Boxing Union. There's nothing to show these organizations are connected or that this recent version (created in 2009) has received any significant independent coverage. Papaursa (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

@Papaursaltalk: Thanks for your input. In relation to your first comment, please note that my primary purpose was to have the original copyvio deleted. I hope that you do not have a problem with that. In relation to each of the title fights sanctioned by WBF, fighter records can be included in references, but that seems to be a bit of an overkill. I have not (yet) counted the number of sanctioned title bouts, but assume it is somewhere between 100-200. Each title fight is normally witnessed by a crowd of 1,000+ with addition of television exposure. Media coverage prior to each title fight is normal, thus giving exposure to the sanctioning body. Obviously, additional sources can be listed. In relation to your second observation I agree that boxing organisation may be notorious, but I am not certain that I agree that being notorious is a result of taking other organisations' names. Delta Airlines, Kmart and Chicago Cubs have all taken names of former companies or organisations that once were, but no longer are. Having taken the name of a bankrupt company/organisation does not exclude the new business from being somehow related to the business run by the previous legal entity, especially when former management is still related to the new legal entity. In any event the bankruptcy and related circumstances did create sufficient media coverage of the organisation. When I find the necessary time, additional sources can be added. -Pugilist (talk) 21:18, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Do you have any evidence that "former management is still related to the new"? I don't see anything that connects an organization founded in Tennessee by an American to an organization headquartered in Luxembourg and run by a South African--especially when there's a 6 year gap between the two. Otherwise, it looks more like a name grab in an attempt to gain notoriety by reusing a previous organization's name. I, and others, have said the new organization has gotten passing mentions for sanctioning a number of fights, but that's what boxing organizations do and doing one's job does not grant automatic notability. There's still no significant independent coverage of the new organization. The bankruptcy of a previous organization with the same name has nothing to do with showing this new organization is notable--unless you can conclusively link the two as being the same. Papaursa (talk) 03:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment So far no one has provided any significant coverage of this relatively new (2009) organization. Right now it's just another of the many, many minor boxing organizations. Yes, it exists but that doesn't automatically make it notable.Mdtemp (talk) 18:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep. According to WP:NFOOTBALL players who have played in a fully professional league are notable. Seyidov played in Neftchi Baku which is a clup of Azerbaijan professional leage. The list of fully professional leagues in WikiProject Football is not completed (It's mentioned there). Azerbaijani football clubs (including Neftchi) play in UEFA European League (even in group stage), which says that Azerbaijan football league is fully professional. --Interfase (talk) 12:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Comment - There is no evidence to suggest that the Azerbaijan football league is fully professional, if you have some evidence, I'll be willing to change my vote. IJA (talk) 12:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- There is evidence. Evidence is that Azerbaijani clubs are able to play in UEFA European League and UEFA Champions League. By the way Neftchi, where Seyidov is played, was the first Azerbaijani club, which played in group stage of UEFA European League 2012/2013 season. Or maybe you think that clubs of non-professional leagues also can play in UEFA European League. of UEFA Champions League? --Interfase (talk) 12:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
  - Comment - Of course clubs from non-FULLY-professional leagues can, look at the clubs that take part in the qualifying rounds and compare their nationalities to the list at WP:FPL. Are you saying the San Marino league is fully professional? If you can provide a source stating that all clubs who enter European comptetition must come from FULLY professional leagues, please supply it. Fenix down (talk) 15:34, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

      - Be that as it may, assuming full professionalism of a league based only on the success of its clubs in other competitions is original research. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
        Regardless of whether the Az PL is fully professional or not, let's get back to the topic on hand. Is Mirhuseyn Seyidov deemed notable or not? I'd defiantly say he is due to his appearances in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League group stage where he has received significant global coverage in the world media. The Az PL may not be fully professional but playing is such a senior stage of the Europa League will give him significant coverage and make him notable per WP:GNG. Discussing whether or not the Az PL is fully pro or not is a discussion for another day. I also may add that WP:NFOOTBALL should be revised to include appearances in the later stages of notable continental competitions. IJA (talk) 22:44, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG.
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 16:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Keep, I think. I'm aware that playing in the qualifying rounds of continental competitions doesn't confer presumption of notability, but as far as I remember, past consensus has been that playing in the tournament proper does. UEFA confirms subject's five appearances in the group stages of the 2012–13 Europa League.
As to GNG, I agree it hasn't been demonstrated, and I don't have the language skills or access to Azerbaijani media to do it myself. But I'd be genuinely surprised if someone with suitable skills, access and interest couldn't find GNG-meeting coverage of a footballer who's played since the age of 16, and played regularly for the past four years, for the first team of the club that's won the Azerbaijani top league three times and its national cup twice in those last four years, plus multiple U21 international appearances.
The subject has a page on three other Wikipedias: the Russian one seems to be the best of the three, and contains at least one source that isn't just a stats page or match report. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

As has been discussed at WT:FPL numerous times, being a member of EPFL is no evidence that the league is fully-professional. Try again. Is the league listed at WP:FPL? No, with good reason - because it's not. Giant Snowman 11:14, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

The reason is bad. This list is incomplete. It is written there. I added Azerbaijan. Because there are two professional football divisions in Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Premier League and the Azerbaijan First Division --Interfase (talk) 12:57, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

I'll repeat - there is consensus at the talk page at WT:FPL that EPFL is not a reliable source for including leagues. Giant Snowman 15:48, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

This is an absurd. For Austria EPFL is a reliable source, for some countries even their own national associations are reliable (e.g. For Albania), but for Azerbaijan not? I consider your arguments as very weak. According to the existing league Azerbaijan Premier Le

- The topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - the first sentence of WP:GNG. Moreover, the Carbuncle Awards started six years before, and inspired, the Carbuncle Cup in the UK, an equally "tongue in cheek" award which also garners significant coverage in the media.

I believe that it's highly unlikely that there are not enough sources to establish the notability of the Battle Network series since it is a spinoff of the well known Megaman series.

The vast majority of the terms in the article had no or next to no coverage in a WP:VG/RS search and are therefore best elaborated in a place outside Knowledge (XXG) (i.e., megaman.wikia.com). czar ♔ 16:45, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Central Coast Baseball Association

Tagged for notability since 2008, lets make a decision either way. I don't believe that this Association is notable. Their one team, the Marlins, might be as it played in the Major league. Gbawden (talk) 08:44, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete As this article does not even really explain what the Association is or why it should be considered notable. It seems to be an amateur league. It is unclear even what the status of the NSW Major League is as it doesnt seem to be professional either, though since the link for it doesnt seem to work i cant check. In any event, this league doesnt belong.Spanneraol (talk) 15:11, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Notability in question. Articles original claims to World and European championships in Karate did not hold up until after a bit of searching they were for a particular style of Karate - I am unsure if that could be considered notable or not. I did fix up the links but my inclination is not. Peter Rehse (talk) 08:43, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete I don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE. The USKA "world championship" is not really a world event and its members only status makes it even less significant (as does dividing black belts into multiple divisions based on their dan). The coverage amounts to a USKA result listing, a local feature (which is normally determined to not show notability), appearing in an article by his employer featuring his help feeding some hungry people (a good deed, but not WP notable), and his own web page. There's no mention of him at the European Gojo-Ryu Federation website (http://www.egkf.net/) and I think it's strange that the article says his European titles were won in 1998 when the EGKF holds their championships in odd numbered years. Unless he wasn't competing as an adult, because youth events are held in even numbered years--in which case that doesn't show notability since youth events fail WP:MANOTE.

Delete. Not enough evidence the subject meets WP:GNG. Couldn't find a way to fit him in under WP:ATHLETE. WP:MANOTE is just an essay but if we I use it as a guideline, I come up short again.

Keep - This nominator is making a bad faith, wholesale attempt to remove Miss Universe contestants. Each of them has achieved two events, their National win and their participation in the heavily media covered Miss Universe pageant. I added just a few more sources, there are plenty more to choose from. All of these Noms should be rejected now and the nominator The Banner should be banned from making such nominations in the future. Trackinfo (talk) 10:09, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Could you please stop with your personal attacks? The Banner talk 10:19, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Keep: Another obvious keep. Banner, the problem with your Google search prior to nomination (and 8,000 hits is not enough to think she may be notable?), is that you aren't searching under the native names of these contestants. This one's name was a little tricky to find because Miss Bulgaria and Miss Universe Bulgaria split up this year, not to mention that her first name can be translated different ways into English. But a little knowledge of Cyrillic goes a long way. Her name is Жана Янева; with that knowledge I was easily able to find sources and leave many more untouched. I will request that you withdraw this nomination. Cheers.--Milowent • 12:15, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

@Jim Carter - Public: You may want read up on your policies before suggesting that other users have done something wrong. WP:PROD specifically says that it "may still be used on BLPs, including BLPs from which the sticky prod has been legitimately removed." Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Sir Sputnik No no.. you haven't done anything wrong but I can see one inline and another source in the article so per WP:BLPPROD adding Blpprod when the article have sources (doesn't matter if unreliable) is not a good idea. But maybe it is possible that after adding Prod someone has added sources. So, no worries. Thanks for your reply. Jim Carter (from public cyber) 06:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

@Jim Carter - Public: You're point is well taken, but my basic point still stands as well. Please get your facts straight when offering criticism. When Wgolf tagged the article for BLPPROD, it was unsourced, and the subsequent PROD was completely in line with policy as I've already explained. However well intentioned your comment may be, I resent having to defend a deletion process that was done entirely by the book. Sir Sputnik (talk) 06:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
