- Keep - He is on the first team of a prominent premier league team and has received a call up to his national team. At the time this was created he was the only player without a page on both squads. For an example of a player without a cap for Liverpool that has a page, see Sheyi Ojo. Seems notable enough to me. Eman52 (talk) 00:18, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- Delete - obviously fails NFOOTBALL at this stage, as he didn't play for Wales when he was called up, nor has he made an appearance for Liverpool yet. In terms of RS coverage, there's , which is good, but everything else is coverage of his transfer (so is routine), is local (Liverpool Echo), or both. There's a few bits on unreliable sources/fansites, but those obviously don't count. Whilst I'm personally surprised at the lack of "who is this randomer who has been called up to the national team"-type coverage, the simple fact is that he fails GNG as well. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 00:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league nor for his national team, so fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Separately, the media coverage is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. Just Chilling (talk) 01:41, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Despit being in the first team for two seasons now, he has not debuted for Liverpool in any competitive fixture and has not been sent to loan as well. He doesn't seem to debut this season for Liverpool as Simon Migmolet is the first choice and second choice Brad Jones is back from injury. Hence he fails WP:NFOOTBALL.--Sammanhumagain (talk) 03:39, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- I believe that one in-depth feature combined with more mundane and typical coverage over an extended period (such as , , , and ) is enough. Nfitz (talk) 22:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - it should be noted that the daily post is a regional newspaper as well. This is hardly a full page interview in a major paper. The rest is just routine transfer and match reporting. I still think this falls below the level needed for GNG. Fenix down (talk) 23:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I realise the rest is routine (well the first of the rest isn't particularly routine, but it is indeed very short). I just wanted to make sure it was clear that there were multiple sources verifying the actual existence of the player and the facts in addition to the one good article. Nfitz (talk) 01:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- If that's the case, why are you claiming it passes GNG? Because your sources clearly don't help it to do so. The only non-routine and not-totally-local source that seems to exist is the Daily Post one. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 21:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- ?!? I stated clearly that I think that one Daily Post article COMBINED with more mundane routine coverage over an extended period is enough. Disagree with me, sure ... but why point out that the routine coverage that I pointed out was routine is routine? Nfitz (talk) 23:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Because if you know the routine coverage is routine, why are you claiming this satisfies GNG, when reading the notability page clearly states that "For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage."? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 01:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- I never said it satisfied GNG. I said the single article satisfied GNG. I explicitly noted that the routine articles were mundane and typical; they simply provide verification for the facts in the article, rather than satisfying GNG. This is the 3rd time I've clarified this comment, which I think was clear enough the first time. If my point was unclear to you the first time, I apologize, but I'm not sure how many times I need to clarify what I said. Nfitz (talk) 03:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- What is User:GiantSnowman's justification for Salting? That seems completely and absolutely unnecessary for an article that has never been recreated, for a real person, who has some (though perhaps not enough) significant coverage, and has appeared on the bench for a top EPL club 11 times this season alone, and twice for his national team. Nfitz (talk) 03:01, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oh my! That makes a bit more sense then - though I think it's overkill, given the inevitability of the article. Nfitz (talk) 04:21, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- I think it's more that if you (or someone else in good standing) is going to start a draft, it would be better that the draft is started from scratch rather than retaining the taint of sock-puppetry. Once the subject meets WP:NFOOTY, that editor can go to DRV to have the creation protection lifted and then there can be no doubt about the article's legitimacy or validity. It's perhaps a bit "protectionist" but I don't think it's overkill (especially given the sock-puppetry case in question). St★lwart 05:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

- Delete - Agree, Salting is going too far when it appears likely that even if Ward never plays a game for Liverpool, he will one day represent another league club, either on loan or as a permanent transfer. Until he does though, Delete. OGBC1992 (talk) 23:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Move to Draftspace - It appears that there is no consensus to keep the article, however given that there is already 1 good article about him, and he's appeared on the bench for a top EPL club 11 times this season alone, and twice for his national team, it's quite likely that he'll get a match somewhere sooner or later (such is the lot of a keeper ...). Let's put the article where it can be properly updated, rather than wasting someone's time in the future, unbeknowingly rewriting it from scratch. Nfitz (talk) 03:01, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

1. It was previously deleted in 2009 - Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Index of Gibraltar-related articles.
2. It is (currently) a totally pointless page (it consists of 26 empty sections and a link to Gibraltar).
3. Knowledge (XXG) actually has hundreds of articles about Gib so this "index" is misleading.
4. It sits in article space (categorized alongside actual encyclopedic lists such as List of shipwrecks of Gibraltar) but as an "Index of ... articles" page it's too self-referential to be part of the encyclopedia content; if it belongs anywhere it belongs under Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Gibraltar.

Contested speedy deletion. Really, there's nothing here to indicate notability: no outside sources, no third-party coverage, all references lead back to its sponsor. Non-notable "annual sporting event". Seattle (talk) 20:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I did not overlook those, I looked for more material similar to the Guardian article. Unfortunately I didn't find any. This is the same problem where startups are "notable" because they're mentioned in Valleywag and TechCrunch. None of those are independent of the subjects, and the situation is the same here.

- And niche, tabletop RPGs will be notable when covered in niche, tabletop RPG publications. (More like the argument's circular.) Video game journalists (in vetted publications) refer to the author as an authority. This isn't a GNG argument—that lots of people have discussed her in depth—but a creative professional argument—that she is widely seen to be a figure in the field. Her work is quoted somewhere in every major publication that ever covers games as a cursory issue. Nothing else to add on this topic. czar ⨹ 13:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Completing nomination on behalf of an IP editor, whose rationale was posted at the article's talk page and is reproduced verbatim below. On the merits, I have no opinion. UltraExactZZ ~ Did 15:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
I am submitting this article for deletion. As far as I can tell, this does not meet any of the criteria listed at Knowledge (XXG):Notability - specifically, WP:ANYBIO which states:
- Generally, a person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians. A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. An actor who has been featured in magazines has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple magazine feature articles, by magazine article writers. An actor or TV personality who has "an independent biography" has been written about, in depth, in a book, by an independent biographer.
Since no other Mr. World Canada has a Knowledge (XXG) article, there is nothing noteworthy about Ron Wear that makes an article on him worthy for inclusion. His passing relationship with Tara Teng seems to be the only reason an article was created for him in the first place, as the only page linking to him is the page for Tara Teng. However, to quote again from WP:BIO, Ron Wear's vague association with Ms. Teng does not confer notability onto him.
- That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); see Relationships do not confer notability. However, person A may be included in the related article on B. For example, Brooklyn Beckham and Jason Allen Alexander are included in the articles on David Beckham and Britney Spears, respectively, and the links, Brooklyn Beckham and Jason Allen Alexander, are merely redirects to those articles.
The sources cited to form the bulk of this article are superfluous at best. For example, footnote , which states that Ron Wear is an active swimmer and yoga practitioner. Not only is this information irrelevant (under the guidelines at WP:NOTE), but it fails to meet the criteria on diversity of sources. The article reads, in its current form, as a promotional biography of a former beauty pageant winner who has accomplished nothing to make him worthy of a Knowledge (XXG) entry.

Delete The fact that Ron Wear is apparently the only winner from this particular pageant with his own Knowledge (XXG) page tells me that simply being a pageant winner does not create notability, as if it did there would likely be other similar pages. Further, the article does not provide any evidence for Mr. Wear's distinctiveness from other winners of the same pageant, as it mostly discusses events he participated in after winning and it is incredibly likely that none of these events are out of the ordinary for such a winner or have any kind of historical merit that require documentation. Finally, as noted in the original move for deletion, the majority of the article is dedicated to documenting Wear's professional relationship with another pageant winner. This also tells me that Mr. Wear does not have significant notability as if he did his article would not have to be padded with irrelevant information about the fact that he once met another pageant winner, especially as any rational person would be able to assume that he has likely met other pageant winners and this does not need to be documented. Essentially the page reads like it was either a.) written by Mr. Wear's publicist or b.) Written by Ms. Teng's publicist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdh9 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. From the newspaper articles cited there appears to be significant coverage of this individual in ten secondary sources. If in the future a "List of Mr. World Canada winners" is written, and if this individual has not by then achieved notability for other events, then there is a potential to redirect this article to there, but for the time being at least I think there is enough independent coverage to justify maintaining the article.CurtisNaito (talk) 08:28, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to Mr. World Canada, which already has some of the same content. Per WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST, I don't think it matters so much that no other winner has an article. That could just be because no one has gotten around to creating one. But winning Mr. World Canada doesn't seem to have generated that much coverage. Most of the sources in the article are fairly trivial one-line mentions. The best ones were from his agency and the TV station where he hosted a show, but those aren't independent. And I couldn't find any other good ones. I think his best shot at notability would be getting some significant acting roles. If that happens, this article could be revived. – Margin1522 (talk) 20:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Keep per meeting WP:NF through multiple sources being available and thus it having the WP:POTENTIAL for improvement to serve the project and its readers. Sorry Fortdj33 & Mojo Hand, I always like to look first before opining. And I would have properly declined a prod myself and simply tagged it for improvement after finding lengthy reviews at DVD Talk, Beyond Hollywood, Dread Central, Blog Critics, DVD Verdict, Pop Matters, Qwipster, Reel Film, and The Aisle Seat in English just to start, and even more non-English sources. I will be working on fixing it up some now per what I easily found and per WP:NRVE. Thanks. Schmidt, 03:56, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- No need to be sorry; I am happy to work with anyone who is legitimately interested in improving articles. I did see some of these reviews before I made my initial assessment, but they mostly looked like self published websites. The best source I found was one you didn't mention - a review republished on the New York Times website. That one struck me as potentially reliable, but the other reviews didn't look especially reliable. However, I am ready to be convinced.--Mojo Hand (talk) 05:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Okay... well, DVD Talk, Dread Central, Blog Critics, DVD Verdict, and Pop Matters have been long found acceptable for sourcing films. With just those six, we have a meeting of WP:NF. See WP:NRVE. The one you found in New York Times while reliable enough, is a a reprint of the "overview" offered by Jason Buchanan in AllMovieGuide, but AMG does offer a slightly longer review by Jeremy Wheeler. Schmidt, 06:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- I'll admit, I didn't look very hard for any sources to establish notability, it appeared that this was just another poorly created article, which had sat around without references long enough to be deleted.

An article about a firm co-founded by one Vishal Raj, contributed by User:Okvishal who has previously created articles about Vishal Raj and been warned about conflict of interest editing. All but one of the given references are routine company registration listings; the exception is a short Times of India local Hubballi article about the said person's ventures, which mentions in one paragraph that he has registered this company.

Not notable per WP:MADEUP. No reliable sources, a search turns up nothing. JohnBlackburnedeeds 16:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. I may say that the Grand Duchy of Petrobourg is indeed a notable Brazilian micronation. It secceeded from the Holy Empire of Reunion almost one year ago and it is recognized not only by most of Brazilian micronations but also by the LoSS (League of Secessionist States), the most important micronational organization. Its founders are experienced micronationalists and the project is a serious one. It is not easy to find references to ANY micronation because those are political simulation; generally, the best references will be autoreferences or references within the micronational world. Mostly of the micronational activity occurs in YahooGroups and the actual press don't cover it. Knowledge (XXG) shall be a font of information, not a reference-control-freak. Lets keep things reasonable and use common sense.Giancarlo (talk) 16:56, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Please see WP:RS for what is and isn't a reliable source, and for why they are needed. YahooGroups definitely is not a reliable source, there are none in the article, and you have not identified any.--JohnBlackburnedeeds 18:35, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Please, this is not like a real country; we will not find the same kind of reference. In the other hand, the lack of traditional press reference is not an argument for the micronation not being notable.Giancarlo (talk) 17:53, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I think the reasons that you are using to suggest deletion of the page is missing the scientific integrity.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimyen2014 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 15 February 2015 (UTC)- Many of the fringe ideas attached to science but not completely in it seem to involve crystals or talking about 'quantum' effects that are totally impossible - and also scientifically illogical. For examples, see the Feedback page every week in the New Scientist magazine. What you must do is to show that there is discussion of this phenomenon other than in the work of the people cited.

- Many of the fringe ideas attached to science but not completely in it seem to involve crystals or talking about 'quantum' effects that are totally impossible - and also scientifically illogical. For examples, see the Feedback page every week in the New Scientist magazine. What you must do is to show that there is discussion of this phenomenon other than in the work of the people cited.

- Delete – I'm not qualified to comment on the science, but the one journal paper seems to be the one in "Journal of Electromagnetic Analysis and Applications". It gets zero cites on Google Scholar, and the publisher () is on Beall’s List of "Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers". This doesn't inspire confidence. – Margin1522 (talk) 21:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. Skimming the first page of the journal article suggests there's a very good reason it was published in such a marginal venue. The rest is straight-up WP:FRINGE. Opabinia regalis (talk) 03:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Do not Delete. Although, the first reference (journal article) looks like an extension of a conference article. I think from my technical point of view this discovery will cause a revolution in the packaging industry. I think all those who are suggesting removing the article are not specialized in the bio-electromagnetic field of science. They are only following Knowledge (XXG) rules. The EM simulation is verifiable. Asiawest (talk) 15:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)— Asiawest (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Yes, this is Knowledge (XXG), so we follow the rules here. They call for notability and reliable independent references WP:RS to prove it. In academic and scientific circles, referencing to primary papers is the way to do it. Here, we insist on outside notability - proof that a paper is being reviewed and discussed - and we don't publish original research WP:OR or have articles about things that are not reasonably widely reviewed. We do have articles about Homeopathic medicine and Astrology - both areas that I personally consider as being idiotic, but which are very widely reviewed and discussed, and therefore we should have neutrally worded articles on them. A deletion here doesn't mean 'gone for ever'. It means that when the notability requirement can be met, an article can be created then. But we don't have articles in advance of the notability being shown. Peridon (talk) 17:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

The result was delete. Possible merge with List of people who disappeared mysteriously. Nakon 21:48, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- Unexplained disappearances (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This subject is neither something which can be described beyond the definition (fails WP:NOT#DICTIONARY) nor feasible as a list article because of the very broad scope (fails WP:STANDALONE). As currently written, it is not really a list article (which again is not very feasible because of how broad the scope is) and largely duplicates content from the articles List of people who disappeared mysteriously and List of missing ships (which have a much better, definable scope). The subject is better suited for a category. Category:Unexplained disappearances exists and covers the subject adequately.
Note: The article was originally called "Paranormal vanishing" and nominated for deletion in 2006; the result was no consensus, but the discussion focused on the title/subject "paranormal vanishing". The page was moved to the current title without much discussion, but edited to reflect the new title/subject. AHeneen (talk) 13:05, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep The assertion that this can't be done is belied by the plain fact that we have a reasonable page already. The notability of the topic is confirmed by the existence of entire books about it such as The Disappeared, Greatest Mysteries of the Unexplained, Among the Missing, &c. Andrew D.

- Keep, if there can be a category, I don't see why there can't be a list. Siuenti (talk) 22:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- That's a good point which is confirmed by our guideline WP:NOTDUP, "arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided". Andrew D. (talk) 22:35, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- But in the nomination, I was not implying that the article should be deleted because the category exists, although I now see how it could be interpreted as such. Rather, I was stating that the subject is best suited to be a category (and not an article) and pointed out that the category exists already. The subject is too broad and there isn't much that can be said about the subject beyond a definition. The subject is therefore best suited to being a stand-alone list (and is currently written like a list), but is still too broad and therefore fails WP:STANDALONE. Therefore the only appropriate way for WP to treat this subject is as a category. AHeneen (talk) 00:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of a coherent topic, and because we already have List of people who disappeared mysteriously. This purported article is not a treatment of any single phenomenon, but a haphazard list of unrelated events (and faeries). The fact that the popular press issues books full of these curiosities is not a convincing argument to do the same here. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 00:09, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Not a distinct topic deserving its own article, and largely duplicates other things. All but one of the individuals mentioned appears in the more comprehensive List of people who disappeared mysteriously. Apart from that we have Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (which is more than adequately covered in its own article), a section about a couple of hoax 'disappearances' and something on fairies. Neiltonks (talk) 13:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - I wouldn't argue keep until this was tightened enough to fill a niche not already served. 'List of hoaxed disappearances', 'List of paranormal entities blamed for disappearances', 'List of folkloric disappearances' - I would be totally down for including those lists and I think they'd be great. As it stands, this is just needless repetition, with the subjects having much better coverage elsewhere. Panyd 21:57, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete with careful editing. Most of this article is an incomplete rehash of List of people who disappeared mysteriously, so I support the deletion of sections 1-17. However, other material could be moved: information and citations from the Folklore section belong in the Fairy article, and the Hoaxes info about David Lang and Oliver Larch could cut down and added to the List of hoaxes. I would hate to lose those little bits of WP content by simply deleting this article. Molly-in-md (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment another thing I don't get is why someone searching for "unexplained disappearances" shouldn't get any help finding the kind of articles linked by this page. Siuenti (talk) 23:09, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

delete This should never have, IMO, passed AfC. The tone is overly promotional, the 'sourcing' is very poor, and (very signifigantly) it has substantial material copied directly from here. While it's 'plausible' that an acceptable article could be written about this company, given it's age, this is not it, not at all.

This is just some apartment building that doesn't pass GNG. The article doesn't even attempt to explain what's notable about it. A Google search turned up a bunch of sites about renting there, as well as a bunch of hits about a type of mattress Sealy's makes of the same name. Google News only brought up four results, all of which appear to be about Sealy's. Google Books brings yet more about Sealy's, as well as a few books about living in Hong Kong which acknowledge that it exists, but say nothing about it.

- Keep – It's a translation of the article in the Chinese WP, on the next day by the same author. There seems to be very little information about it except at real estate agents. The architect doesn't have a website. But there is this page at Emporis, which is the reason for keep – just because it's a tall building and we normally keep those. Some of the statements don't seem to supported any more by the cites, so if it survives I think it may have to be trimmed to about 1/2 its current length. – Margin1522 (talk) 00:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

The concerned writer has a minor work of short stories. Couldn't find a realible source which says the person is well-knowned in his field. The article further says he/she wrote a lyrics for a song. Can't locate his peers or successors, if he/she had any. This is a true example of promotion activity. The links incorporated in this article are of organisation or school, not having his/her name on websites. Why does it have weblinks of organistaions? Is he/she office bearer of any institutions?. It is a true example of WP:SPIP. Fails WP:AUTHOR,WP:ANYBIO. Even if it is notable, it fails, 'Stand-alone lists'. Therefore the page should be merged to his/her releveant work, if it's notable which is obviously not WP:BASIC or else deleted. It is pointless to have such article.

- Comment, Scouring JSTOR and Google Scholar for "Robert E Lee Chadwick", "Robert E L Chadwick", "Robert E Chadwick", "Robert Chadwick", "REL Chadwick", "RE Chadwick", "R E L Chadwick" and "R E Chadwick" turns up a paper with one citation , one with eight , a page-long response that mentions him in passing and (pdf), which politely calls him out for unfounded conclusions. That points towards a below-average rate of notability for a professor. Somewhere between 80% and 90% of my professors and lab instructors have a greater citations, and except for a couple, I don't believe they hold sufficient notability for Knowledge (XXG) (and only three do).

- The fact that something does not appear in citation indices is a problem over the coverrage of those indices, which are much more geared to science than some other subjects. Non-appearance in such indices is not evidnce of non-existence, merely that they are less comprehensive than some would believe. Since his subject was the pre-Hispanic Andes, I cannot carry out checks in more specialised indices that I would use for British hiostry and archaeology.

There are various guidelines regarding all sorts of individual subjects, but the "General notability guideline" as explained there says that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list" - and goes on to explain in more detail. If, as you say, Inverclyde Radio seldom has any articles writing about it in other media, then it might unfortunately just not be sufficiently notable for its own Knowledge (XXG) article.

- Delete. I came to this expecting this would be a member of the state senate or something, but he doesn't actually appear to be a politician at all in the normally understood sense of the word. He may need policitial skills to be the "diplomatic representative" of a small NGO but that's not the same thing. Attending a notable event event as a representative of an obscure organization does not confer notability on the attendee. Overall looks like a case of WP:VSCA. An article on the organization he represents would be a better place to start, if there are any sources to construct that from. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete – I was LMFAO when I came across this article several years ago because of the pretentiousness of its wording, then promptly forgot about it. Thanks for nominating it, though it should be pointed out that this was nominated by a brand new editor whose only contributions to Knowledge (XXG) were made in a 12-minute stretch several days ago, focused solely on having this article deleted. That editor's post to the article's talk page says that Barnes is part of an "Alaskan indepedance (sic) movement NGO". My firsthand familiarity with that movement dates to the late 1970s; I can assure you that he's not a part of it. Doing a Google search, however, indicates that the tribal council in Tununak (through Barnes) is attempting an approach similar to what Joe Vogler did during the last years of his life, namely petitioning the UN. He's certainly not involved with the politics of Alaska, which is an impression one would develop by looking at the article's title and its inclusion in Category:Alaska politicians (Category:Alaska Native activists would have been a more appropriate category). I left a note at WT:IPNA linking to this discussion, as the aforementioned Google search gave a faint indication that Barnes may possibly have some name recognition in indigenous circles.

- Keep but Rename (perhaps as Ronald Barnes (Alaska Native activist) ?) and definitely needs a serious rewrite! (And it won't be me who does said rewrite). Per the inquiry of RadioKAOS, (I'm a member of WP IPNA) I'd say that there is adequate indicia of notability (or notoriety) given that it is difficult to find RS on Indigenous people, and Alaska native people in particular. I googled https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Ronald+Barnes+Alaska and of the hits that aren't WP mirrors. In particular, yes, the "appeal to the UN is kind of fringe, but it is reported officially at:

- In any event, the town of Tununak has 325 residents, so being elected as a foreign affairs representative (as Barnes claims) by the "Elders of Tunanak" is kind of small-glory. DroitInternationale (talk) 13:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comments:
- Never forget the issues of systemic bias when dealing with indigenous people, who are often "invisible" to mainstream sourcing methods.
- Also don't discount a small community - if those 325 are the only living members of a given ethnic group, then that is VERY significant.
- A better Google search ("Ronald Barnes Alaska") is here. Once you toss out the wikipedia mirrors and references to other people with a similar name there, we still have something. A sampling of third-party sites include the following:
For the above reasons, I think it best to err on the side of caution and keep. Montanabw 19:50, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

- Re-stated Delete I'm glad someone mentioned petitioning the UN - which is in no manner 'fringe': Michael Brown's family and friends came to the UN in Geneva last year to raise the political aspect of his murder. As per the article: I have contact with the subject matter in question, including, but not limited to, that petitioning-forum. Before I'm comfortable with this article being kept, I want someone here to justify that this guy is actually representing at least one body of the indigenous peoples from Alaska. Personally, I'm not convinced he's not a fraud. He's at the UN. He's going to UN meetings. He's making plenty of contacts in that context, which someone might contend is grounds for notability (and if that's so, you've got a long-list of unwritten BLPs for representatives of indigenous groups worldwide who also petition the UN). To be frank, I'm not clear Barnes is attending meetings at the UN on behalf of whom he claims sent him - as it stands, he gets invited under the auspices of other groups than his own, which isn't abnormal, but other elements of the situation are. I think that this article may be part of fabricating the appearance of the linkage (of representing an indigenous community). And if that's true, the title shouldn't be 'Native activist' but something-else. Can someone contact the group in the "Native Village of Tununak" (contact details listed above) to check Barnes-out?

- Convenience package (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This was kept before on the basis that it could be sourced, but it still hasn't been. It's a list of features that appear on packages that some car makers call "convenience package" (and others use different names, or bundle the same features in different packages, or they are standard, or whatever) and the sources are all primary. X appears in convenience package, source: manufacturer Y listing X in convenience package. That is WP:OR, pure and simple, and there has never been a single reliable independent secondary source to support this list of random things that random makers bundle in a random collection with this random name. Let me talk you through this by reference to the articles in the list claimed to be "typically" included:
The list of random things with some observations of my own
|
---|

Now, it's quite possible that some of these are included in a pack called convenience by some makers. As it stands, however, it is an indiscriminate collection of information, something Knowledge (XXG) is not. There is no source for most items, and those that are sourced, there is no evidence that this is a general name for the pack, no evidence that these items are usually included in such a pack, and no evidence that other sources consider this a separate subject. The most you could say is that this is a list of features that are optional on some cars (and standard or unavailable on others), some of whihc may be offered in various packs or trim levels by some manufacturers. That is, pretty much, all you can say about this list of items. Guy (Help!) 17:14, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

- Also, the previous rationale for keeping this article was that convenience packages had been the topic of secondary sources in other industries than the automotive.

Completely non-notable for our purposes per WP:NTOUR, which requires serious coverage of the actual tour, not just reviews of individual shows, for instance. This one seems to have a few sources that seem to discuss the tour, but appearances are deceptive: KpopStarz is, of course, not a reliable source, and this, from the Joongang Daily, is nothing but a bit of chit-chat that mentions some promotional activities, and this, from Korean Broadcasting System, is an insult to journalism. In short, the tour fails our notability guidelines. Drmies (talk) 19:52, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. The fact that English language sources don't deal with a K-pop tour in such detail as they would with a Lady Gaga tour, doesn't mean other language sources don't. This is a major tour, with 13 concerts and several tens of thousands of audience. And whatever you think of 'journalism' is irrelevant. KBS and JoongAng Daily are major players in Korean media. More sources: Full concert coverage from MTVK: , concert coverage from LA Weekly. A longer article about the tour (not news article) in Korean that tells the Asian leg of the tour drew 40,000 people: .

Undecided Literally the first link I chose to click on that Teemeah listed turned out to be a deleted article. You might want to do something about that Korean economic daily article you listed. Anyways, while this might make some people say delete I looked up what was on the page currently and what I see is bad prose and worse refrences but also something else. This tour kind of did amaze me. I don't know of another Korean solo artist that has gone on a world tour that viseted Asia, South America, Europe, And the US. Frankly that seems like someone should have made a note of it somewhere. Also individual concert refrences I feel should be allowed if they also make clear and signifigant mention of the other stops and discuss the tour as whole. So I think with some effort it might be possible for the article to be brought up to standard...but as of right now should be de-linked from the artist main because those references it has now are terrible.Peachywink (talk) 13:24, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Completely arbitrary to chronicle television series by five-year increments rather than seasons, and the season pages encompass every episode and are better referenced anyway. No information would be lost if these pages are deleted. -- Wikipedical (talk) 22:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

- Delete -- we have articles on each season and on the series as a whole. That is ample. The series article has a navbox linking to the quinennial articles as well as the season articles. This will need to be altered sothat the deletion does not result in a load of red links. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Merge with the appropriate season articles, since it seems like there's quite a bit of info on some of these pages that isn't in the appropriate season articles. (Of course, quite a lot of it needs referencing.) StewdioMACK 11:52, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

- Weak keep, sort of - I can certainly see why you'd want to write more broadly themed articles like this, but certainly not in their current form. Why the five-year chunks? This would be much better if broken into four or five articles, covering the beginning, Ebersol era, the 90s, 2000s cast, and the current iteration. Ed 03:06, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep -- SNL is an important American tv show, & the behind-the-scenes events are worth explaining in extensive detail that would bog down the main article. Specifically, the program had a brilliant beginning, went thru several years of uneven quality, then recovered & become a solid late Saturday night feature for American audiences; a narrative of this evolution is a notable subject & worth doing. However, I'll repeat Ed's point that these articles need to be better organized, statements all over the articles need sourcing (although I've not encountered anything that is off-the-tracks wrong) & some of the information is too trivial for inclusion. In brief, while the subject matter is notable, in their current state the articles are of substandard quality. -- llywrch (talk) 07:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment to address the recent keep votes: I don't think anyone is suggesting Saturday Night Live or its history or even content included in these articles is not notable. But that's why there are 40 (!) season articles, which more thoroughly (and more consistently with other WP:TV pages) document the history of SNL and are better sourced. Everything in these pages are redundant with those articles. The main objection here is the completely arbitrary 5-year increments (no one has taken a position defending those yet). I believe that if these articles aren't deleted, then merging them with the season articles adequately address the keep votes' concerns -- Wikipedical (talk) 05:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, but those are very narrowly focused. There's a good argument for overall looks at wide swaths of the show's history, starting with the Not Ready For Primetime Players and coming through the present day. Ed 18:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but five-year increments are completely arbitrary. Saturday Night Live (season 1) through season 5 already contain the same text verbatim in the first "History" article. If you believe Not Ready For Primetime Players merits its own article, for example. sure, create it. But as it stands, these general "overview"/"history" articles are poorly sourced and inconsistent with the way we chronicle television on Knowledge (XXG). Putting aside the show's early history for a moment, you really believe History of Saturday Night Live (2010–present) should be kept? -- Wikipedical (talk) 22:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Agree with argumentation and rationale by Llywrch, above. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 16:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - I agree that some of the info on these pages is the same as things other pages (Cast lists, ect.), but it seems like it's there for easy comparison with the info unique to this page (Of which there's quite a bit). These pages seem to be more of a comparison to between seasons - a running history if you will. I do agree with Ed that the 5 year chunks don't really make sense. A lot of it needs further sourcing too, so it might be better to fix this before merging (If merging is an option.) so as not to compromise other articles. - samdod2427 22:03 18th February 2015 (GMT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samdod2427 (talk • contribs)

Merge to Charles_Manson#Tate_murders - or to a separate article Tate murders which has been proposed at related AfDs. He is known only for having been murdered by the Manson gang; before that nobody had ever heard of him. He is described as an actor and writer; in fact he had a few tiny uncredited roles in minor movies, and according to Bugliosi's book Helter Skelter, he claimed to be a writer but none of his friends had ever actually seen anything he had written.
