WP:BLP1E the subject was raped and is solely notable due to that incident and for disclosing her identity .She did receive a lot of coverage when she died recently but that is News .This lacks WP:LASTING beyond this rape case and all news reports mention the term rape victim or rape survivor while refering to the subject and is notable only for the park street rape case .Note edited it for clarity. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 23:42, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep Thanks for notifying me, Pharaoh of the Wizards. In a context in which conviction rates have fallen by over 45% from the early '70s, 3/4th of the reported perpetrators go unpunished and in which rape remains largely unreported because of stigma and discrimination (see here), Jordan became noted across India as an anti-rape campaigner for her courageous stance and disclosure. She was notable before her death, but her death sadly offers WP the citations required to establish it. For instance, Economic and Political Weekly is South Asia's leading academic journal; this obituary for Suzette in EPW would confirm notability, I hope. Please let me know if you need modification in the way the article is written to improve it; I began the stub, but others, of course, have worked on it since. thanks, Anasuyas (talk) 00:24, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep. The reason given for deletion (BLP1E) does not apply. There were two events: (1) the rape and (2) the decision to go public; both received substantial coverage. Furthermore, condition #3 of BLP1E is clearly not met: "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." -Pete (talk) 00:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry to say disagree almost coverage to her is due to her being raped and all sources call her a Rape survivor and disagree there are two events .Now they refer her by name as she disclosed it and she received media coverage even otherwise in the Nirbhaya the victim's family received much wider coverage even through name of the victim was not disclosed it was disclosed much later. , all of them refer as rape victim or survivor .The Park Street rape case is notable and the subject can be mentioned there .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:23, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep. In Indian society, very few rape victims take the path she has chosen, because rape victims are wrongly ostracised. While that aspect has drawn publicity, in her case, it served as an exemplar for rape victims to show the world as victims, they have nothing to hide from. The impact of her message has been tangible. It is not estimable just by media statistics and Google Hits. Imho she qualifies for Keep. AshLin (talk) 02:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep per Peteforsyth: The point of notability is not her having been raped, but her having taken an unusual path following the rape, that has succeeded in bringing national attention to policy and law issues surrounding rape in India. Ijon (talk) 02:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy keep - notability can be seen by the reliable sources that discuss the topic under park street rape - Notability may also be seen by the amount of press coverage on her and the history of the judicial case as well. and here is something rather appropriately titled - Why was Suzette Jordan’s death ignored? Shyamal (talk) 04:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - meets GNG regardless of WP:BLP1E. There are multiple independent reliable sources devoted to discussing her specifically. Kaldari (talk) 06:12, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep For all the reasons mentioned above and many many more. E.Doornbusch (talk) 06:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Well sourced article about a notable individual. As an aside, "(s)he later died" applies to *most* historical biographies on Knowledge (XXG). Orderinchaos 06:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

As per WP:BLP the subject died only March 15 2015 WP:BDP policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside Extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the dead that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or a particularly gruesome crime .Find it inappropriate that a separate article is being created for a rape victim immediately after her death and she has 2 Teenage daughters 15 and 17 years and also per WP:AVOIDVICTIM .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:09, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

The article states that she died from meningoencephalitis, not suicide or crime, so this is a spurious argument. Orderinchaos 08:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC

• WP:BLP does apply as she died recently and she is notable only for being a victim .Creating articles for rape victims or even naming them in articles even they have been identified will be a WP:BLP violation and can have legal implications in general. Disagree if you are saying that anyone can create an article for any rape victim . This RFC is only after deep discussion that Jyoti Singh Pandey's name was included in the article and not included after her family initially disclosed her name in the 2012 Delhi gang rape . She is notable as a victim in the park street rape and her Judicial case her received a lot of attention but that can be dealt under park street rape case article as is the case with most rape case articles.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Have you actually read WP:BLP? Orderinchaos 09:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments ,I understand where you stand and respect your view but bluntly put you can call it Ignore all rules ,I would take the side in the case of rape victims error in the side of caution hence would apply WP:BLP and WP:BDP judically and avoid naming rape victims on site even if identified elsewhere unless there is community consensus like here even through it was identified ,You can it call WP:IAR if you wish in the side of caution would avoid naming rape victims who are alive or have died recently within a few month or so this is general not specific to this article.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:14, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep All the above reasons and common sense. Jan-Bart (talk) 09:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

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

I believe this subject matter is not noteworthy of wikipedia. Also all of the crimes commited by the suspects in this article are tagged only as "alleged " crimes. This article seems to exist soley to slander law enforcement. TucsonDavidU.S.A. 23:40, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

• I disagree, this subject matter is perfectly reasonable. This page simply exists to list US fatalities caused by Law Enforcement Officers and the circumstances involved, nothing more. There isn't any conclusion on whether the killings were justifiable or not, it is simply stating known facts. So I don't see how it could be construed as slander. In fact, in many cases listed, the fatality does in fact seem perfectly justifiable, while other incidents do raise questions. However, the reader is left to draw their own conclusions and do their own further research. I do not believe this article deserves deletion, but continuance. Keep --DSmythSoCal (talk) 00:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep I believe the page should continue to exist and that the table should be amended to include a column for references/sources of information for each entry. Unfortunately, I am not so adept at Knowledge (XXG) that I would know how to do this. - Taltruth (talk)

• Keep I think this issue of regular fatalities caused by law enforcement is very pertinent. Hence, i think notability is there. I agree with other editors some sort of amendment may be needed. -- Fotoriety (talk) 01:24, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a topic that has drawn widespread media attention of late. The list is reliably sourced and meets WP:GNG. A serious deletion request should address the series of articles we have for each month since 2012 in Category:Lists of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States. gobonobo 01:50, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - There are dozens of pages of this sort; Are we suggesting that all should be done away with? As for the question of citations, I think that (as with all articles and all but the most self-evident assertions of facts) there should be proper citations included, and that is even more important when dealing with controversial subject matter. As for the assertion about this page "only existing to slander law enforcement" I think that is a very questionable assertion. Let's look at it from another angle - If (hypothetically) there are half a dozen instances where a police officer shot a suspect who was in fact a violent, immediate threat to the community, and those violent, immediate threats were evident (and cited), and those were listed along side the Walter Scott incident, then reading about those incidents might lead some readers to the opposite conclusion than one that would be brought by intentional slander of the police. At the same time of course, we ought to err on the side of caution and refer to actions (and certainly motivations) as "alleged", unless and until there is documentable evidence to back up our assertions. Let's discuss further if needed. KConWiki (talk) 01:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. This article is part of a series (List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States) that covers many decades. Deleting one page is senseless. Content is sourced and notable. WWGB (talk) 02:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Strong Keep This is a longstanding series of pages designed to track notable police killings. It's modern relevance could not be understated in today's social climate. Don4of4 05:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Murder is a crime, unless it is done by a policeman, or an aristocrat! Lugnuts 06:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Police deserves support and respect but you can not generally put an institutions reputation above the right of citizens to live and not to be harmed. Thus reasoning for a deletion this way is absolutely wrong as its wrong to bend or prevent justice for the same purpouse. This is without doubt an major sociological issue in America for some time now and thus the matter deserves many articles including this list. --Kharon (talk) 07:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

This article has gone unsourced since 2006. I have tried to find sources for the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra in its 1974-1979 incarnation and found nothing at all, reliable or otherwise. I am not even sure that this article is not an outright hoax. —Tim Pierce (talk) 20:33, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

• Delete as a likely hoax. Of the linked concertmasters and violinists, only Israel Baker's article mentions this alleged orchestra at all, and his obituaries don't. One links him to the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the other two to chamber music in LA. Ilkka Talvi is likewise connected to the chamber orchestra (which doesn't share the same period of existence with this supposed orchestra). The only hits I get are for an orchestra which took the name in 2005. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:01, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
• Comment There are a number of newspapers that use the term, but they all seem to be mistaking it for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. See this article referencing Zubin Mehta as conductor of the "Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra" and these articles that reference Otto Klemperer. I would suggest making the page into a disambiguation page of the different orchestras in Los Angeles as it is very plausible search term. Ravendrop 22:40, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Every reference I have found in a book, magazine article or web page about the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra is either referring to the early twentieth-century precursor to the Los Angeles Philharmonic or mistaking it for the Los Angeles Philharmonic or the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. As to the latter, I found references, including in Gramophone of all places, to Carlo Maria Giulini and Neville Marriner conducting the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra.

Not quite sure what the claim to notability is for this gentleman. Though he obviously had long consular service for the British government, verified by notice of his appointments in the London Gazette, being a consular official isn't a qualifying criteria for WP:GNG. This appears to be more of a genealogical piece, for example with the recent citation to his Foreign Office service record and the citation to a genealogical webpage, the Levantine Testimony. His family info is uncited, presumably also WP:OR. In my opinion he doesn't meet WP:GNG and there are better places where this family history research should be published.

• Keep. Holder of the CMG, which is held to be notable under WP:ANYBIO #1. See Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Caroline Shaw (healthcare administrator) for the confirmation. The CMG is an equal award to the CBE in a more senior order, so if the CBE is notable then the CMG certainly is. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
• Abstain As originator of this article I would be inappropriate for me to vote on this discussion but I would like to add some comments. As the originator of about 15 Knowledge (XXG) articles on people I am familiar with different interpretations of notability by different editors. Having studied the Knowledge (XXG) criteria notability it is my understanding that it is not the person’s notability per se, but the provision of independent verifiable references to support the article, and I believe I have provided this. For someone who was active more than a hundred years ago, it can be difficult to find many references on the Internet as many documents may not yet be digitised and in the public domain. When I first researched him I knew that he was less notable than his two younger brothers, for whom I have created articles, but my research uncovered enough material to start an article on him. Knowledge (XXG) works on the principle that nobody knows everything but everybody knows something and it is my hope that other Wikipedians with additional information will contribute to this article in the future. The fact that the page has been viewed 162 times in the last 30 days suggests that the article is of interest to people.MrArmstrong2 (talk) 14:09, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

• Delete Coverage is run-of-the-mill: just statement of appointments from the official newspaper that carries all statements of appointments, nothing in-depth. There's no claim that he was involved in any major historic events. The CMG is the sort of award which comes with the job of being a senior diplomat and doesn't indicate any distinction or anything extraordinary about him (since the honours system has changed considerably in the last 100 years, comparisons with present-day CBEs must be cautious). There's no clear policy on the notability of diplomats - a recent discussion was inconclusive but they're not automatically notable. Could merge some info if there's a suitable target. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:51, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
  • "since the honours system has changed considerably in the last 100 years". No, really it hasn't! Other than the elimination of some honours and the opening up of the system to ordinary people with the creation of the Order of the British Empire in 1917 it's actually changed very little. It really isn't our place to decide that someone who was awarded a high honour then isn't notable now. He was considered notable enough in his day to be awarded an honour only one level below knighthood by his country, actually a relatively rare honour for a consular official. That cannot be said not to meet WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:14, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Weak keep - The consensus on previous AfDs seems to be that a CBE makes someone notable. Since a CMG is a more exclusive and "higher" rank, then H.L. Churchill should be notable. All of the coverage I found was routine, but 1) WP:ROUTINE is an event notability guideline - attempts to apply it to all subjects have been rejected in the past. 2) Better sources may well exist since only a small portion of contemporary sources are available online. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm not convinced that the CMG provides automatic notability in Knowledge (XXG) terms. It indicates that the holder was thought to have done a good job, but this doesn't necessarily translate into Knowledge (XXG)-handy sources, which this man seems to be lacking despite a clearly solid career. If he didn't have the CMG there would be little question here but that the article shd be deleted as principally genealogical; and the addition of the CMG without sources doesn't seem to me to tip the balance. WP:ANYBIO itself surely supports this: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards . Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". (bolding mine).

• Delete—This is going to be a cursory examination, but perhaps that's better than nothing. My reading of WP:NACADEMIC would not allow notability through his position of Secretary at Coimbatore Institute of Technology. Of the papers listed in the article I see the following citation counts in gscholar:

1. 1975a (not listed)
2. 1975b (not listed)
3. 1977 (38)
4. 1983 (not listed)

I'm familiar with the several biases that exist in Google Scholar, but for this field in this timespan I'm comfortable concluding that the subject's scholarship has not had the influence required by WP:NACADEMIC.

• Delete No indications of notability. All four references in the article are identical: the same story (verbatim) posted on four different news sites, about Calligraphist winning a competition to appear on the next Kool G Rap album. This is nice, but it's not the national-level awards (Grammys, etc) that we look for as part of WP:MUSIC. WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 12:05, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
• Weak keep The competition that he has won seems to be prestigious (and arguably there aren't that many rappers in Bulgaria who generate headlines). News.ibox.bg and fakti.bg tend to be reliable sources and could be sufficient in terms of providing evidence for national coverage in Bulgaria. If the following statement: "Calligraphist is the first and only rapper to date to overcome the language barrier of his native tongue and achieve international success in a foreign language directly due to his belletristic and verbal skills in English" is indeed correct, this could in itself make a case for notability. I believe that the opinion of other Bulgarian editors should also be sought. Oleg Morgan (talk) 12:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

No indication of notability is given. Notability tag was removed without any effort made to show notability. TexasAndroid (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, _{@TexasAndroid: pay attention to the talk page}. Just to reiterate my points - C9 is one of the most notable eSports team outside of Korea, next to TSM, fnatic, Team Dignitas, Ninjas in Pyjamas and other notable teams. Being the competitors in the top North American and World tournaments in Dota, LoL, Smash and as well as the new games HotS, Hearthstone and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. According to http://www.esportsearnings.com/teams they are the 12th highest earning team calculated by winnings (liable to change)

The intrinsic problem is that articles like this straddle WP:CREATIVE, WP:ATHLETE, WP:COMPANY and WP:ENT. The frontline gamers who are known both as entertainers and eSports Competitors, if we cross WP:PORNBIO into this where to be notable you need to have awards and substantial investment into a scene, then C9 have fulfilled this. Per WP:ENT, They even have a significant cult following as can be shown in the support present like in their recent performance in the NA LCS Springslit. Per WP:COMPANY there is even more Secondary and tertiary coverage to C9. Ideally WP:ESPORTS task force needs to come up with guidelines on this, but due to the only editors working on WP:ESPORTS articles being @ImRespawn and Prisencolinensinainciusol: the coverage is sparse, so just give it a WP:CHANCE, don't WP:DEMOLISH and allow for some WP:POTENTIAL.

--- :D Derry Adama (talk) 22:59, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep As DerryAdama has pointed out Cloud9 has had pretty extensive coverage, including in some mainstream outlets. I've noticed that a number of esports articles end up getting nominated for deletion by an editor who is presumably unfamiliar with the subject. That being said I'm going to see if I can draft up some esports notability guidelines so it's a bit clearer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk • contribs) 04:52, 21 April 2015‎ (UTC)

• Comment - I spot checked a few of the references, and many of these are extremely trivial passing mentions. For example, this Yahoo source listed above is extremely short, and only mentions the name Cloud 9 - nothing else - in the article. That's not significant coverage, so that source wouldn't go towards proving it meets the WP:GNG. Still undecided personally, just wanted to encourage people to look closely at the source, and don't just assume there's enough coverage because someone blasted a huge list of sources. Sergecross73 msg me 15:03, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Same with this Engadget article. Yes, its a RS, but very little of the article is about Cloud 9, and of that already small part, much of it is a few direct quotes from one of their members rather than any coverage on them. And the IGN source? Less than 2 sentences of it actually discuss Cloud 9 itself. I hope there are better sources out there, so far every one I'm checking is very trivial coverage... Sergecross73 msg me 15:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

• Redirect to League of Legends Championship Series or another competition article, maybe Dota? I reviewed all of the above sources. The only ones that matter for our purposes (secondary, reliable, independent sources) are:

All the other stuff was passing/non-dedicated mentions or unreliable sources. At most, the reliable ones of the lot could be used to source a few sentences on the team's sponsorships, but not much more. I'm willing to change my mind if others can find articles from vetted video games sources. Myself, I found only passing mentions in the WP:VG/RS custom Google search—not nearly enough to justify an article. I'd entertain a redirect to one of the competitions as a useful search term, but I'm not seeing enough to write a sourced article on the team, as is. And for the whole content guideline discussion above—the only relevant guideline for this article type is the general notability guideline: either sources exist or they don't. In this case, the sourcing is very thin. Please ping me if you find more (non-English and offline) sources. czar ⨹ 20:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Czar: with the custom search; did you search Cloud 9 or Cloud9 because Cloud 9 doesn't bring any relevant results but "Cloud9" does. Showing IGN, Kotaku, PC Gamer and gamestar.hu on the first page. Then miastogier.pl, polygon.com and 4gamer.net on the second.--- :D Derry Adama (talk) 00:44, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Both (as well as other variants), but I also established that having a bunch of search hits from IGN, Kotaku, doesn't actually mean that the subject was covered in any meaningful way. I reviewed the sources and only listed those that I thought mattered towards the subject's case. The rest were passing mentions and/or had just as much coverage about a number of other non-notable teams. czar ⨹ 02:50, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with you here. A ton of trivial mentions, very little significant coverage. I'd recommend a redirect as well, though I don't know what the best target would be... Sergecross73 msg me 13:00, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I added League of Legends Championship Series as my suggested target. From the coverage, the team is best known for their League and Dota competition, so one of those where they're actually mentioned by name would be best. I chose the former. czar ⨹ 13:43, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually redirecting is an incredibly poor idea, as alone there are six other teams not including the LCS team in six different games. People coming here may be looking for information on the match fixing by C9 in the CS:GO sphere

• http://www.dailydot.com/esports/match-fixing-counter-strike-ibuypower-netcode-guides/
• which was quoted by http://www.pcgamesn.com/counter-strike-global-offensive/valve-confirms-csgo-match-fixing-allegations-issues-bans-to-seven-players

The Dota team is the current record holder for the longest competitive game ever

• http://www.dailydot.com/esports/cloud9-scaryfacez-longest-game-dota/

There is plenty of coverage from reliable eSports sources like the DailyDot, but your search doesn't curate them as most of the Gaming news sites don't give much coverage to eSports, other than saying it exists.

--- :D Derry Adama (talk) 23:00, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

People also come for all sorts of things we don't provide. The idea of a redirect is to provide a reasonable result for someone looking for the subject, which the above redirect would do. This said, I dug around in your sources again (had seen the Kotaku article and pcgamesn has no hallmarks of reliability). http://www.dailydot.com/tags/cloud-9/ would be very useful if we considered Daily Dot reliable. I've brought the site up for consideration at WT:VG/RS. czar ⨹ 00:23, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. The Daily Dot looks like it'll be added to the list of vetted video game sources and their wide Cloud9 coverage easily brings the subject past the general notability guideline. @Sergecross73 and TexasAndroid. czar ⨹ 13:15, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep Redirect - per Czar, and my commentary above, to his redirect suggestions. Its a plausible search term, but right now, a vast majority of the coverage is extremely trivial. Redirect for now, and maybe spin it out to its own article if it gets a few more sources that are not first party, not trivial, and reliable, like the types of sources found at WP:VG/RS. Sergecross73 msg me 14:12, 22 April 2015 (UTC) The initial spotchecked sources did not meet the definition of "significant coverage", but the ones pointed out by Czar and Hahnchen do, so I'm find with keeping now. Sergecross73 msg me 14:30, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
• I've found quite a few reliable sources focused on C9 that I'm starting to put in the article. I have no idea how everyone managed to find so few. There's even a print source, a cover article in Playboy that featured Cloud9. I think beyond a doubt that the article will be a keep. The only logical RD I can think of would be to something like List of esports teams or something, since C9 has a notable prsence in several games, not to the LCS article.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 03:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep - Covered extensively in reliable sources independent of the subject. Playboy OnGamers Even teams which haven't been covered to this degree should probably be kept, and notability guidelines should more closely follow WP:NSPORT which is more almanac-y in nature than other video game guidelines. - hahnchen 20:13, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree with User:Ubiquity insofar as the individual wineries not being notable enough for articles of their own. But the list as a whole is a notable topic. Thank you Trout71 (talk) 17:46, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Per WP:NOTESAL "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists" So let's look at it, Wineries are notable. New Mexico is notable. As for the cross categorization? Wine is a very geographically important creation, location is significant. So I would argue that Wineries listed by geography makes perfect sense and is beneficial to the reader. Were it to be something with little importance to geography, say App developers of New Mexico I would support deletion. That being said, I think there are way too many red links it screams "unnotable" to the reader, let's be realistic and accept that not every one of these wineries will be notable enough for an article and go with black.

I've seen much less accomplished performers' articles remain unchallenged in this way. I don't see any reason to delete this one specifically. I added some text based on a quick bit of research I did on the web. Perhaps if this actress was dead or retired and we could definitively know the impact of her range of work and performances, we could make the decision that it's not especially notable, but I'm unwilling to make such a decision in light of the fact she is still working in a variety of ways.

Article is not sourced, or sourced with only the employers websites, which are considered as primary source.

"Hoop Snake" is a synonym for Ouroborus and should be a redirect. The article in its current state reads like a hoax/joke. If you want to add the North American/Australian interpretation of this creature, it should be in the Ouroborus article, just as the Egyptian/Norse/Japanese/Alchemical/Occult, etc. interpretations *all* are. — LiteEei (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Article that hinges on trivial mentions in a letter to the editor and an encyclopedia entry, both from the 19th century.

The portable monkey actually seems to be have been machine for hammering stones into mortar or gravel, or something of that nature, but the cited sources and the few more that I can find on GBooks don't explain how the device worked or who invented it and when (maybe Francis Maceroni invented it, or he invented a railroad version of it--the sources aren't clear).

• Delete. The article does not explain what The Portable Monkey was with enough clarity, and the references given do not contain a clear description. A Google search doesn't turn up much. Unless a much better reference is found, I'm afraid there isn't enough here, or even the promise of anything, on which to base an encyclopedia article; not even a stub. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:51, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Comment I thought the subject would just be of interest to a specialist in engineering or construction. In retrospect, the information could easily be integrated into another article, I didn't find much on the subject during the creation, since the thing seems to be some-what archiac and of minor significance (i'm no authority in this area though), i'm thinking there isn't much hope of improving the article, or future for it.Thanks Whalestate (talk) 16:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Comment - A 150 year old school? If in the US, it would be easy to find sources, probably the National Historic Register.

It was a chapel school originally. The sources relate to the chapel/mission, not the school. If we have an article for the chapel then that might in fact be a decent target for a merger.

I think I have shown from the links that the subject is notable. I also think that it is clear that her subject, inter-racial dating in the USA, is 'hot' ie. important and that she is the best known advocate for it makes her doubly noteworthy.

• Keep. I think that the promotion was unintentional and I've cleaned up the article to meet Knowledge (XXG)'s standards for notability. It did take a little digging to find sources, primarily because Karazin is known more in the blogging world so the blog sources are the ones that came up first. (Blogs are usually seen as WP:SPS that cannot be used to source notability on Knowledge (XXG) because they're self-published.)

A dreadful, almost entirely unsourced biographical article, packed with personal and family info about this South African conservationist. I haven't speedy deleted it because there is a claim she is a "star" of a TV show. There is an interview on a wildlife website, the one citation, but this doesn't give any personal info and is mainly Rive talking about her project. Searching online I can find no reliable in-depth news coverage about Rive (the myTVnews source is a TV fan website) . Based on her less common name, you would think it would be easy to find if it existed. Though she's undoubtedly making a laudable contribution to saving African wildlife, in my view this article should be removed as quickly as possible (and if all the unsourced personal biography was removed there would be almost nothing left).
