• Comment since nomination another SPA has appeared. A number of press-release style references have been replaced with a reference to http://caltechcampuspubs.library.caltech.edu/2927/1/Issue%203%2C%202015-16.pdf which is classic student journalism: Meyer is continually humbled by the amount of buzz Getmii receives isn't going to be winning any Pulitzer's soon. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:19, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

*Comment Indeed, I saw that Getmii, an app that is heavily used on my campus, was flagged for deletion. I'm not interested in spending my time editing Knowledge (XXG) articles. I created this account solely to add a source from a top 10 US university (Caltech) that I deemed consistent with Knowledge (XXG)'s guidelines for a reliable source. Nowhere in these guidelines was it necessary for the article to be a candidate for winning a Pulitzer. In addition, Knowledge (XXG) guidelines suggest that users refrain from placing sarcastic comments. The so-called non-notable app, a point that I would wildly refute, was released to the App Store three weeks ago, and has since been the target of significant coverage from independent reliable sources including Boston Globe, Black Hills Pioneer, The California Tech, Smashd, Product Hunt, Odysseys, etc. KhalifaMalibu (talk) 17:17, 19 October 2015 (UTC)— KhalifaMalibu (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep ^Same, just here to keep Getmii on Wiki. It's big here at MIT. The app is three weeks old and already has adequate coverage from independent reliable sources. The app is notable, and looks like a significant player in the post-April 2015 Nepali disaster relief efforts.

*Keep I read about Getmii in the Boston Globe a few weeks ago and saw Getmii featured on Smashd.co. Getmii is a new app and is starting to gain more and more traction. I've posted on Getmii and already received many responses via the app.YaleGrad2011 (talk) 19:00, 20 October 2015 (UTC)— YaleGrad2011 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep I have a wikipedia account to edit and add to Cold War era German culture and history articles, but I personally use Getmii and so do many other members of the UC Berekely community (which I am a part of). The app is growing. Don't shut down what is a highly-informative Knowledge (XXG) article.

• Delete - SPA comments aside, per guidelines, searches don't turn up enough coverage to show notability. Other than the single Boston Globe story, there is another brief mention and then zilch on any of the searches. Onel5969 21:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

*Strong Keep With coverage from Black Hills Pioneer, Odysseys, Smashd, The Boston Globe, The Wellesdley News and The California Tech within its first weeks on the App Store, I vote that Getmii has already established itself as notable per Knowledge (XXG)'s guidelines. This is an SPA. I created this account with the express purpose of defending an app that's clearly snowballing on campuses across the nation.

He seemed to have been somewhat well known locally but my searches found nothing convincingly good (particularly better coverage about him, some of these links are passing mentions aside from this, this, this, this and this.

• Weak keep. His Post-Dispatch obituary and follow-up articles about him are substantial coverage that make clear he was considered an important and influential figure in St. Louis. Reasonable editors could differ on whether a local figure like this is sufficiently notable, in Knowledge (XXG) terms, to warrant an article; on balance I don't find compelling reasons to exclude him. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:08, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - I'm on the other side of the line than Arxiloxos. Do not feel the sources meet the notability criteria. The local coverage is sparse for someone to be considered notable. Onel5969 14:06, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: There are tens of thousands of similar articles on Knowledge (XXG) showing the basic biographical data, labour history and main publications. I guess more than 80% of all biographical articles on Knowledge (XXG) are this way. When the basis is right, a specialist can come around and expand the article some more to describe the context, meaning and spin-off of his work. And as long as this doesn't happen, these articles have a status in Knowledge (XXG) as being a start-quality article, which is the regular practice. In a situation like this I would appreciate any effort to get this process started. If therefore this article should be deleted first, so be it. I already clarified on the talk page, that I noticed this name was mentioned in 30 present wikipedia articles. Some of his works are cited over a 1000 times, which makes him notable enough for inclusion. There is a similar article on the German Knowledge (XXG). And tens of thousands similar articles there. And tens of thousands similar articles in older encyclopedias. Frankly, the motivation to delete this articles reads to me as a request to delete most content of Knowledge (XXG) and all encyclopedias. -- Mdd (talk) 14:35, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
  • The consensus of the last discussion was to delete the article. If you disagree with the decision, then you should go to WP:DRV, not just recreate the article. Having checked the deleted version of the article, I don't see much difference. The number of incoming links (some of which are not about this Andrew Dobson, unless he has also written about birds in Bermuda for example), and the existence of articles in other language versions of Knowledge (XXG), are not themselves proof of anything. Appealing to WP:WAX isn't great either, and hyperbolic statements suggesting that the motivation is to delete most of Knowledge (XXG) won't help. Bencherlite 14:46, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
    • On the Dutch and English Knowledge (XXG) I have contributed to over 10.000 biographical articles, creating and/or significantly improving over 2500 articles, and I am the first to admit there is a lot the improve here. Studying Andrew Dobson on Google Scholar learns he is co-author of multiple books cited over 1000 times, and he authored some high cited works himself. I can also understand that there can be disappointment, that this is not (yet) represented in the current article. I think the right expert hasn't come along yet to make this happen. I would very much like that more experts would participate to wikipedia and make such things happen. yet in my particular field, and even more on a smaller Knowledge (XXG) like the Dutch Knowledge (XXG) I don't see this happens very often. For me this is a motivation to keep contributing even though I know I might go beyond my actual expertise. My experience say the basics are just correct here. Yet, I might have overseen some of the wikilinks to this article, I will double check. -- Mdd (talk) 15:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC) P.S. Ok, I double checked: 27 wiki-links seem to be correct, and 2 were wrong. I am sorry, my mistake.

• Delete I have to agree with the nominator. There's nothing in the article to trump WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. I'm also going to request that the closing admin salt the page so that it can't be re-created without good reason. --Non-Dropframe _talk 14:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't see any solid basis for considering BLPREQUESTDELETE; the subject is a reasonably prominent figure, an Oxford University Press author, the winner of a noteworthy award in his field (linked to a different prize of a similar name in the article), and his website shows no intention to maintain a low profile -- indeed, it shows a clear pattern of prominent public advocacy. His website also notes he was a coauthor of the "Green Party General Election Manifesto" earlier this year. Politically active folks often try to control or limit what others write about them online, but it is not behaviour we should be indulging on Knowledge (XXG).

• Keep. I've never participated in one of these discussions before, but I just came across this while looking for information on Andrew Dobson. I agree that the article could be better and does need more references, but I think he's clearly more worthy of inclusion than a lot of other BLP entries - I've seen surprisingly detailed entries for non-league sports players or one-hit wonder pop stars and he's far more prominent in his field than that.20:07, 20 October 2015 (UTC)AT-Ben (talk)

This article is needless reduplication of material found in Bill Mauldin.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Anmccaff (talk • contribs)

• Comment: I fixed this AfD which was incorrectly formatted, unsigned and untranscluded. Cavarrone 19:24, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Speedy keep: invalid and inaccurate rationale for deletion as there is no "duplication of material", just a legitimate, brand new spinout article and a long overdue deepening of the popular Mauldin's comic strip. Also, there is an obvious lack of WP:BEFORE, as Google Books alone shows a high potential of expansion for the article (which was created just a few hours ago), including an extended entry in Routledge's World War II in Europe: An Encyclopedia, an indepht 40 pages analysis in The Comic Art of War: A Critical Study of Military Cartoons, 1805-2014 by Christina M. Knopf (McFarland) or ten pages about the comics in Myth and the Greatest Generation: A Social History of Americans in World War II by Kenneth Rose. Cavarrone 19:26, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Delete This article adds nothing to the encyclopedia that is not inherent to an article about the author himself. Since the wartime articles were such a significant part of Mauldin's work, creting a separte article is both unnecessary and undesirable, since it increased, needlessly, the possibility of POV forks.

Not less than Divine Comedy belongs in Dante Alighieri, should we delete and redirect it? Please explain why Willie and Joe is non-notable, AfD is not a vote. Cavarrone 19:54, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

No, the Divine Comedy has many aspects to which Allegheri is but a footnote...and vice versa. On the other hand, what in this stublet that is worthwhile would not belong in an article on Mauldin? Let's review some differences:

• The Comedy has existed independently from its creator for about 700 years, with trails of influences over centuries, continents, and cultures, some of them completely opaque to later readers and artists. Bill Mauldin died a dozen years ago.
• The Comedy is a work, not contained characters. This is a bit like making an article called the Narrator and Virgil.
• The contained characters are not essential to the work. Mauldin's best stuff does not depend on them, and often does not even contain them.
• Dante-the-Narrator and Virgil are consistent characters throughout. Willie-the-early-image's character became Joe-the-later's characterAnmccaff (talk) 20:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Seriously, you are wasting your energy here, as noone thinks Willie and Joe is remotely comparable to the Divine Comedy... I was just commenting about the sillogism "a work A belongs to its author B", which is something obvious but hardly a valid rationale for deleting (or for keeping) something. We delete articles just if they are NON-NOTABLE (see WP:N and WP:GNG), including comics created 50, 10 or 2 years ago. And I doubt that a comic strip which attracted academic analysis and which has entries on several printed encyclopedias fails our notability guidelines. Cavarrone 20:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Not at all. Little energy is required, and you've just conceded that your comparison was overblown, and that it proves nothing, one way or the other.
• Next, the mere fact that something is notable does not, in itself, justify a separate article, although the opposite insures it does not. Necessary, but not sufficient. We do not have a separate Abott (1/2 comedic duo) article, although he is as essential as Costello.
• Finally, the more discussion, the more ideas that decisions are based on surface; you appear to believe that there was a "comic strip" called "Willie and Joe", for instance. Anmccaff (talk) 22:03, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• "We do not have a separate Abott (1/2 comedic duo) article, although he is as essential as Costello." Lol, I suspect you ignore we have both standalone Bud Abbott and Lou Costello articles! And again, my comparison was intentionally and obviously overblown, and I'd say it was very useful as to show how the argument "hey, Willie and Joe belongs to Bill Mauldin, he is its author, so let's delete it" was a nonsense argument, as long as we have thousand of separate articles for notable authors and for their notable works. And as long as you seems to agree Willie and Joe is notable, I still wonder why we are here... I am just desperately waiting for a decent deletion rationale based on a policy or a guideline...

• I've long felt that those who LOL generally have something risable constantly at hand; you are doing nothing to disabuse me of this. Of course there could be a separate article for the actual humans, as well as as one for the duo act. Yet there need not be; cf. The Andrews Sisters. It depends on how intimately the details are intertwined. Looking for a brainless cookbook way of judging this is, well, brainless.

• Keep Willie and Joe are iconic characters, sufficiently notable to have their own article. Significant coverage in real-world sources, including an ppearances on the cover of Time (magazine) gives them notability in their own right, per WP:NCHAR. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• What you linked to there is is a "dormant proposal", not any type of policy. More importantly, how do you think that retaining this will improve the encyclopedia -is there anything that should bein it that shouldn't be in the Mauldin article, and vice versa? If the answer is no, than it is nothing except an opportunity for bad research and editing, as it is now. Anmccaff (talk) 04:35, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

The answer is yes. This is ample material to create a featured article on Willie and Joe. The Maudlin article should be about the artist, not his characters. Note the difference between the article on Bob Kane and the one on Batman. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

I'd find this far more compelling if cartoonists risked life answering desperate summonses from public officials, delivered by images projected on clouds by searchlights. To put it another way, you are comparing fantasy with something closer to reportage. Anmccaff (talk) 05:05, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep This is obviously a notable topic and it has just been nominated because of disagreement about a redirect. That's a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Andrew D. (talk) 16:44, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

What "disagreement about a redirect" did you see? Aside from the essential one, about whether a redirect or a POV fork was more desirable? Anmccaff (talk) 17:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep Seems sufficiently notable for a standalone article. Artw (talk) 04:44, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Then why isn't it, instead of a piece that only departs from the Mauldin article in misinformation or commercial promotion? I think that says something. Anmccaff (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep: This comics series is not just some footnote in one artist's life. It ran for many years. Many US soldiers during World War Two have enjoyed it, could relate to it, have drawn inspiration from it to carry on their duty. It was once popular enough to inspire two Hollywood movies. It had both notable admirers (Eisenhower) as well as opponents (Patton) in the US army who had very strong opinions about the content of the comic. "Willie and Joe" furthermore has received academic praise, praise from fellow comics artists, is still being republished in collectors' books, proving that there is still interest in this comic strip to this day. It is mentioned in various comics encyclopedia as one of the most notable and groundbreaking war comics. It deserves its own article on this site as it is definitely more important than a majority of comics series who also have their own article, and who, by comparison, have made less of an impact on popular culture than this series. - User:Kjell Knudde (4:18) 25/10/2015 (CET).

Again, this strikes me as precisely why this article is a bad idea; POV fork, and associated inaccuracy. There was no "comics series" called "Willie and Joe." It did not exist at all. Mauldin drew cartoons often, but by no means always, featuring these two stock characters for "the duration", and a year or so of demobilization. I suppose that's many years, by some measures. The two "hollywood movies" were unmitigated crap, which Mauldin explicitly rejected. Had neither Willie nor Joe been drawn, Patton would still have scanned Mauldin's output with a gimlet eye. Mauldin never drew, that I am aware of, a -single- "comic strip." Ever. He was a single-panel man. The fact that crap is often given its own article by fanboys is no justification for needless articles, even about good subjects. Anmccaff (talk) 08:10, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The quality of adaptations is not of issue here. Thousands of bad movies, TV shows, novels, comics,... have their own article on Knowledge (XXG). Also, if having bad movie adaptations were a criterium for not giving a comic strip, comic series or gag cartoon series (or whatever you want to call it) its own article then we could delete a lot of articles. - User:Kjell Knudde 26 October 2015 (CET)

The article is not about the comic strip, it is about the characters. Similar to the way that Dragon Lady has an article separate from Terry and the Pirates, which in turn is separate from Milton Caniff. Willie and Joe are best covered together, as they swapped identities early in the piece. The article could say a lot more about them (like, most readers will want to know which is Willie and which is Joe). Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:18, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I understand that some want to see an article about the characters - although you'll note that several seem to mistakenly believe there was a "comic strip" called "Willy and Joe." The question is whether separating them is the best way to handle it, something that can't be discussed by citing rules and policies, but only by making an informed decision about whether that is needed and useful. Both items you mentioned here, for instance, the respective identities over time, belong at least as much in the artist's article; when two articles overlap almost completely, keeping both is a Bad Thing.

I don't really understand how that description describes how you arrived at a "weak keep" response, and Admin commonly discount rationales that don't make sense or cite any policy... Sergecross73 msg me 19:47, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Speedy keep Nomination is too erroneous. Nominator's rationale indicates that neither they have seen the sources present in the article nor have read the relevant deletion and notability policies before coming here. Jim Carter 20:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Oh, nice, getting bitey. I have indeed checked the sources in the article. There is exactly one article article about the game in there I would call indepth. The rest are announcements (about title or cancellation), articles about the company or the creator, a few social media pages, and a few links to the website of the company. Not what I would see as indepth coverage. Kirschkuchen (talk) 21:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kirschkuchen: Miles away from being "bitey", my !vote is based on WP:SK and WP:COMMONSENSE. As it still seems clear that you haven't carefully read WP:SIGCOV. Cheers, Jim Carter 21:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

P. S. There are sources available other than the sources listed on the article. Note that Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Jim Carter 21:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Then show me those. I looked. The only other thing that I found was a Guardian article mentioning why the game was cancelled, and even that focused more on the creator. The project is one of hundreds of cancelled video-game projects, and only got any standard preview coverage at all because it was made by the same people as Minecraft. I just don't see any notability. Kirschkuchen (talk) 22:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

There's over 43,000 hits in WP:VG project's custom reliable source Google search. PC Gamer, Polygon, Rock Paper Scissors, US Gamer, Engadget, Gamesradar, PCMag, Kotaku (Situational source), etc, all covered the cancellation itself, and followed up with further news about the fan plans to continue trying to build the game... There's a huge amount of sourcing for the game, and whether or not people only paid attention because of Notch/Minecraft is irrelevant.. The sources ultimately wrote about 0x10c. That is almost like trying to argue Diablo III isn't notable because it was only covered by sources due to Blizzard making it. -- ferret (talk) 22:19, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep, a NASDAQ-listed company with nearly 6,000 employees and sales of more than $1 billion. It's the kind of company that gets a lot of attention in the specialized press, with articles like this from Plastics Today or this from Plastic News. Searching for Nordson Westlake, Nordson Corp Ohio, or other variations, yield sources absent in the above searches. Nothing truly major, but enough in total to pass our notability standards. More general sources are things like this full article from the Cleveland Plain Dealer about the new Nordson headquarters, or an article about a regional award they won. Fram (talk) 12:49, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete. There has been a "primary source" tag on this article for more than five years. And that tag was an understatement. Large portions of the History and Acquisition sections are either verbatim or near-verbatim copyings of text from the subject's web site. If we were to remove those two sections as copyright violations, and also remove the Business Profile section for its adverting tone (another tag that has been on the article for more than five years), what would we have left? Not much, and not enough to justify an article. I do note that User:Fram points us to some additional sources, but how many sources will cover the subject itself, and not merely its products or headquarters. I don't know, but if nothing was added in more than five years, it becomes reasonable for us to assume that nothing substantial will ever be added. On a final note, the NASDAQ lists more than 3,000 companies; fewer than a third of them have their own article here. I see nothing to suggest that the instant company should have one, either. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:16, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep per Fram, mostly. Companies with $1 billion in sales certainly are notable and have to have some media coverage. Copyright and promotionalism are editing issues, not a notability issue. shoy (reactions) 19:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• keep and remove unsourced materials - should just remove the unsourced content and pare the article down to match the sources. DangerDogWest (talk) 19:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Done, by which I mean that I've removed (i) the copyright-violating sections, as well as (ii) the unsourced brochure-like material masquerading as a "business profile". I also added two of the sources pointed out by User:Fram -- the brief article about the subject's new headquarters and the regional award. As for the two trade publication cites, one was for a new product and the other simply told us that (gasp!) the subject would no longer be manufacturing chill rolls. Neither was of encyclopedic interest. And what we have left is a brief description of what the subject makes, as well as a brief listing of industry awards. The items in the various searches done by the nominator produce nothing that could be added, as those searches were overwhelmingly cites to press releases (such as quarterly earnings reports) or listings in business directories (but if I've missed something, please let me know). In all, I don't see how this article could ever be expanded with sources other than the company's web site, its press released, or its SEC filings.
Since my last posting, I did a little research about the notability of the $1 billion in annual revenue that is being cited by User:Fram and User:Shoy. The Fortune 500 web site tracks more than 500 companies and I found that Rexnord (number 966 on their list in annual revenue) and Seventy Seven Energy (number 967) both have annual revenue in excess of $2 billion, and neither has a Knowledge (XXG) article. One billion dollars in sales certainly sounds like a lot, but it isn't an amount that automatically confers encyclopedic notability. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:31, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

• Struck content from confirmed sock above, per WP:SOCKSTRIKE. North America 03:53, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep per Fram (talk · contribs). Knowledge (XXG):Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says (my bolding):

  There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.

  Editors coming across an article on such a company without such references are encouraged to search (or request that others search) prior to nominating for deletion, given the very high (but not certain) likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion.

  There are numerous analyst reports about Nordson Corporation: 1, 2, and 3 are several examples from the Google News search.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Nordson Corporation to pass Knowledge (XXG):Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Cunard (talk) 04:58, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

@Cunard: Thank you for providing the context in which our decision must be made. I expect that you and I will simply disagree on this nomination. But for the benefit of the other participants in this discussion, it is fair to point out that your three cites are merely reports on various short-term stock-price predictions, along with various buy/sell/hold recommendations. We also learn the expected date of the next quarterly-earnings report, and we are told of a routine filing with the SEC regarding stock transactions made by an officer of the company. None of this has encyclopedic value. In the spirit of honest inquiry, I ask -- Can you point us to anything in those three cites that would increase the encyclopedic value of the article?

• Keep - I'd say refereeing the national cup final in a league/nation as media-saturated as the MLS/US/Canada is enough to assume notability. GiantSnowman 20:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I didn't even know that the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final had occurred yet, and I only live a few hours drive from Philadelphia. Even then, very little of the coverage of football (association or American) mentions the names of the officiating crew except the official reports, or perhaps at the very beginning of the broadcast, which is still considered routine. — Jkudlick c_s 20:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

• Hillsboro has a population of 91K, so at least in theory Willey is a legitimate article topic. That said, the referencing here is was for the birds, resting exclusively on primary sources (PR profile on the city's website, a press release on the county's) with not one iota of reliable source coverage shown — and even a President of the United States would have to be blown up and rebuilt from scratch if their article was that poorly referenced. Accordingly, I'm willing to reverse myself if the article actually sees referencing improvement while this discussion is underway — but it's a delete if it still looks like this by closing time, albeit without prejudice against future recreation if somebody can do better. Update: the sourcing has now been significantly improved, so I'm officially flipping over to a keep. Bearcat (talk) 18:17, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Engineering Entrance Exams in India (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)

The title of the article suggests it is meant to be a description of entrance exams for engineering colleges/universities in India. As a topic for a stand-alone article, I think this is too specific and fails the WP:GNG.

When the dust settled on the day the article was created in February 2010, however, it was a very short list of exams, see . In October 2013, the first section of All India Engineering/Architecture Entrance Examination was pasted onto the bottom of the list by an IP; see and for a comparison. The article hasn't drastically changed since then. So what we actually have is an article that is an article that is an incomplete list. I think the article as a stand-alone list fails WP:NOTDIR.

Is the article useful? From a practical viewpoint, I think potential students would first search for the school(s) they want to enrol in, then find the specific exam(s) they need to sit to enter those schools. An incomplete list of exams, providing no context apart from the fact that they are an entrance exam to one or more engineering colleges, is not useful.

In light of the above, I think there is no prospect of improving this as either an article on the topic of exams, or as a list of exams. So I propose it be deleted.

• Comment: (WP:COI, I am a coorganiser of the event) The event was presented in national TVs (like on Markíza or TA3) and local TV stations (like on Turiec TV (since 11:00) or Central Live) and press coverage by national news. During last years auspices over the meeting took UEA, TEJO, Slovakian Ministry of education, chair of the region and major of the host city. There is updated article on skwiki: sk:Letná škola esperanta with much more information. I added big parts of the article, although partly by translating, however it was checked by skwiki's community. Now I am translating the skwiki's article into eowiki to make it possible to re-translate it into enwiki. --KuboF (talk) 15:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: OK, I have updated the eowiki's article, asked the community for polishing and the original author for translation. If there would be time problems, please move the article into Draft: to make it simpler for us to translate and polish the article. --KuboF (talk) 12:29, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - My research shows that while his name appears as editor on several apparently important books on the Gita and Upanishads, the Vedanta, etc. I could not find any reliable substantive independent sources that discussed him specifically. Retaining an article like this would typically require that at least one such source be identified and that it be connected to and support at least one statement in the article.

• Unelected candidates for office do not get Knowledge (XXG) articles just for being candidates — if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that he was already notable enough for an article before becoming a candidate, then he has to win the seat rather than just run for it. But no strong claim of preexisting notability has been shown here, and too much of the sourcing is either primary (his own social networking profiles, press releases on the city's website) or not actually about him at all (the entire history of the entire Clan Strachan).

Reason Samnviv (talk) 12:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC) There was no such place as RAF Alma Park. There was an RAF Regiment depot called Belton Park Camp which was established on farmland not far from Alma Wood. The RAF left in September 1946, and Grantham Borough Council started converting the buildings to houses. <Grantham Journal 1 Nov 1946> carried a notice "The Worshipful Mayor of Grantham (Mr Alderman A Roberts) will officially open the Belton Park Camp Housing Estate at 3.30 pm on Thursday November 7th and will let the first tenants into possession." Then the <Grantham Journal 6 Dec 1946> reported "A chance remark by Grantham's ex-Mayor Ald A Roberts, on a recent Sunday afternoon, when he headed a tour of inspection of Belton Park camp - henceforth to known as Alma Park Estate, derived from Alma Wood, the fringe of trees running along the rear of the camp site - may go a long way towards solving one of Grantham's biggest headaches - lack of maternity accommodation.". So the name Alma Park was never applied to the RAF Regiment depot. The entry for RAF Alma Park should be deleted, and searches directed to the entry for RAF Belton Park.

• Delete - other than a brief mentions on News and Books, nothing else on any of the searches. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 16:38, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep as one of the largest high school basketball gymnasiums in the United States, former playing site for the Dallas Chaparrals, and playing venue for other minor league and semi-pro sports franchises. Search simply "Loos Fieldhouse" and your searches will be far more productive. Like Knowledge (XXG) article titles, reporters don't always use the full name of venues with long names when a shorter name will uniquely identify the site to their readers. - Dravecky (talk) 05:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
• Comment On a Google news search, I turned up 1 reference to a semipro team playing there. The article was about the team, not the building. Nothing on the Chaparrals, and their Knowledge (XXG) article doesn't mention it either. I'm actually suprised at the paucity of hits. One would think it would be mentioned in articles on games that occured there. But those kinds of mentions don't make for notability, nor does the fact that a semi-pro team plays there, among other places. --John from Idegon (talk) 06:24, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• Reply True, this article from The Dallas Morning News only barely mentions Loos Fieldhouse (as "Loos Field House", another fun-with-Google search possibility) but it confirms that the Chapparals did play some games there. - Dravecky (talk) 06:45, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• Reply We rely on op-ed pieces for factual verification now? Again, it is a passing mention. Is there a guideline that states big league use of an arena equals automatic notability? --John from Idegon (talk) 09:10, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete not enough to show notability. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 23:52, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
• Comment. Here are a few sources from Newspapers.com confirming that the Chaparrals used this facility for training camps, at least ; and that after they moved to San Antonio and became the Spurs, they returned there to play . Given that all this happened before the internet, we may have a problem of FUTON bias here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with the arguments made by Dravecky and Arxiloxos, who found several sources from Newspapers.com and notes that there is probably a FUTON bias. The gymnasium was constructed in 1965. It is very likely there are non-Internet sources from the 1960s about the gymnasium's construction and opening.

  Here is another source verifying that the Chaparrals played at Loos Fieldhouse:

  Faraudo, Jeff (2006-03-17). "Cal knows what it is up against". Oakland Tribune. Archived from the original on 2015-11-01. Retrieved 2015-11-01. Cal freshman Theo Robertson, who played in a similar offense at De La Salle last year, and has tried to provide his teammates with tips, even as late as Wednesday's midday workout at nearby Loos Fieldhouse, where the Dallas Chaparrals of the old ABA once played.

• Delete or Merge with List of Canadian supercentenarians. Not notable enough to justify a standalone article. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 22:45, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

NOTE: Changed my vote from "delete" to "delete or merge". Still don't think she's notable enough for a standalone article but as the oldest person in Canada, and with being reported on by local news sources, I think that a mini-biography could be created at List of Canadian supercentenarians. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 15:31, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete same as Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Colombe Benoît-Leclerc.--153.151.83.197 (talk) 06:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:BLP1E. None of the sources demonstrate significant coverage or notability. Half the sources should not be used (1 and 3 fail WP:OR and 8 is a blog post), 6 and 7 are local coverage as she lived in Belleview, Ontario and the last ones are obituaries. Nothing that helps establish notability. She is however, notable to be on a list as seen at List of Canadian supercentenarians. Note that it was only "believed" she was the oldest Canadian. CommanderLinx (talk) 12:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
• Merge or Redirect. Entry is not notable enough to warrant an article of its own, but being the oldest living person from Canada in her time justifies a merger into List of Canadian supercentenarians as a section under the tables. A simple redirect to that article suffices if consensus agrees that even that much notability is insufficient. Yiosie 19:53, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. The "multiple, reliable sources" are repetitious items on successive birthdays, an obit and a link to Ancestry.com. That does not satisfy WP:GNG. There's nothing encyclopedic here. David in DC (talk) 15:23, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Per multiple other AfDs of centenarians, it's clear that some are notable for being long-lived. A consistent policy is needed here lest we have death by a thousand cuts. Montanabw 05:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Per MBW.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:07, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
• Weak Keep or Redirect. Although I agree that Mrs. Slack's age wasn't among the oldest of the oldest, I do think that deletion is too easy a solution; let's see what can be salvaged and used elsewhere. What I also find interesting is that accounts which usually support keeping supercentenarian articles in other AfDs suddenly have not been identified as WP:SPA now that they support the deletion.Fiskje88 (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

• delete and redirect- The problem with these articles is what happens as medicine improves and people start living into their 140's? Does WP constantly update the article with the next oldest person? Is WP the Guiness Book of World Records? This topic makes sense to have a list of people who are or were the oldest living but not a biographical article unless the person was notable for some other reason apart from living so long. JMHO. DangerDogWest (talk) 18:15, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

We're nowhere near people living to 140, or even 130. The 120 barrier has only been verifiably broken once. But if, far in the future, people DID live to 140+, they might want to know how long people lived in 2015. Notability is not temporary. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 15:46, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Struck content from confirmed sock above, per WP:SOCKSTRIKE. North America 03:57, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

• Comment The article does cite a number of reliable sources. Although some sources such as this certainly do not add much value to the article. However, the 109th and 110th birthday reports are pretty extensive, cotaining a large amount of biographical information. At the very least, this information should be included in a small mini-bio at List of Canadian supercentenarians. Bodgey5 (talk) 18:23, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• Redirect with minibio to List of Canadian supercentenarians. David in DC (talk) 20:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep or Redirect There are several articles and sources for this Knowledge (XXG) page, so she should be considered to have been notable. Mrs. Slack was the oldest person in Canada at the time of her death, quite an achievement... If she is not considered to be notable enough then a redirect to the list of Canadian supercentenarians is probably the best way to go. 930310 (talk) 15:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Similar articles at other recent AfDs were not keep'd, WP:Articles for deletion/Colombe Benoît-Leclerc, WP:Articles for deletion/Bob Taggart (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Koto Okubo (2nd nomination), probably many more if I look further. So I don't think it's been made clear that living to a certain age or even being the "world's oldest..." makes someone notable. If that's the case, then the next oldest Canadian would instantly qualify for an article, even they had little or no coverage (note that, "Officials with several provincial and Canadian ministries, including Statistics Canada, said their record-keeping practices don't allow them to determine the country's oldest resident." ). Several of these centenarians could die within months or weeks of each other, and only have very little or no coverage as "oldest... " Would each one be notable just because they happened to be the oldest person in their county? Also note CommanderLinx's points on the sources and being "believed" to be the oldest.

Procedural AFD; this was proposed for deletion with the rationale of The article is possible Original Research/synthesis of irrelevant facts/material: mere mentions of liking the culture's food somehow equate to being a "Filipinophile", Lea salonga, Manny pacquiao, Will Smith, appearances on Ellen degeneres etc have nothing to do with the topic. The word "Filipinophile" is not in any dictionary., but in light of how long the page has been live and the number of different people who've worked on it, there are obviously at least some people who consider this a viable topic so bringing it here for further input.

• Weak Keep. At least technically, passes WP:POLOUTCOMES as a member of the London County Council in the 1920s and 1930s (under her first married name, Priscilla Worsthorne). We also generally regard holders of the CBE (though not lower ranks of the Order of the British Empire) as notable. Under her second married name, Priscilla Norman, she probably also meets WP:GNG for her interest in mental health issues and the admittedly somewhat honorific positions that the combination of this and her social standing gained her - it looks as if the nominator may have missed this by concentrating on her maiden name. The best source I have so far found relating to these is this book, but there do look likely to be others as good or better off-line or with restricted access - her activities in this area are almost certainly by now of only historical interest. Note that, if searching for references to her as Priscilla Norman, one has to take care not to confuse her with her older contemporary Florence Norman, who was also known as Priscilla Norman and was also a CBE.

The result was no consensus. The most valid deletion argument appears to be whether the content is substantial enough to be WP:SPLIT from the main article, and editors should consider themselves free to discuss that further and consider merging/redirection. See relevant policy at WP:ATD. Otherwise, there are WP:OSE arguments on both sides, and the purging of the nonnotable names has obviated the WP:NOTMEMORIAL argument, a potential change that should have been considered WP:BEFORE bringing it to AFD. postdlf (talk) 15:40, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Knowledge (XXG) is not a memorial. The previous debate seemed to have a lot of people involved who were merely giving emotional statements instead of quoting policy. I cannot find any other article like this on the wikipedia that gives solely a list of victims, which this article basically is. It is a list of people who were killed and nothing else. I have already added salvageable material to the mumbai attacks article. To be frank there is no need to keep this article FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 05:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• merge and delete - the article is well sourced, but as you point out -- morbid. I would argue that these people for the most part were not notable enough to have an article apart from this incident, but the fact that there were victims and their nationalities I would think belong in the main article 2008_Mumbai_attacks but not as a bare list of names, which is meaningless to most readers. DangerDogWest (talk) 05:55, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@DangerDogWest perhaps you can take a loot at the casualities section in the mumbai attacks section. I have added the material there. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 05:56, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep but improve - the wall of text of names needs to be broken down. Equivalent to other articles like List of people killed during Euromaidan. —Мандичка 😜 10:32, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep: As per above. This terror attack was largest ever terrorist attack on India. Considering that people died at multiple places and people from multiple nations (like US, Australia, Germany, Israel, Canada, France etc) were died in this incident, this deserves an article. It is an encyclopedic subject and it can be improved. --Human3015  10:54, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• keep but purge all non-notable names. Casualties of the September 11 attacks is a good example of the level of detail required. An external link to an official list of names should suffice. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:20, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

9/11 list neared 3,000; this one numbers >170, really not that long of a list. See link above for Euromaidan - it's well referenced and not unwieldy. —Мандичка 😜 22:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - Considering that this was probably the most terrifying attempt in India, and that multiple people (of various nationality) were targeted at different places, this topic is notable enough to have a separate article. As far as the issue of similar articles go, Wikimandia provide a good enough example for that. There is certainly some room for improvement but nothing that could warrant deletion. Yash! 03:12, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Question: Isn't such a vague list of people with red-links who are noted to have died a BLP problem for people of same names who are still living? Example, the article lists Hasina Sheikh (20) (Sheikh Hasina), Abdul Razak (22) (Abdul Razak (disambiguation)), Santosh Yadav (23) (Santosh Yadav), Firoz Khan (44) (Arjun (Firoz Khan)) and there are corresponding people of same name who are living still. Also, few names would be repetitions of people who have died elsewhere; like Mukhtar Sheikh (45) (Sheikh Mukhtar Mohamed Hussein, Sheikh Mukhtar). For clarity, do we plan to write hatnotes on such biographies like "For the person named X who died in 2008 Mumbai attacks please see Casualties of the 2008 Mumbai attacks"? And funny, there is a "Unknown (25)" also listed. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

  Interesting observation Dharmadhyaksha. While very few might search by the name of the victim, it wouldn't hurt to have such hatnotes (since the repetitions will be seen in few articles only). Yash! 09:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Delete: Per Knowledge (XXG):Stand-alone_lists#Selection_criteria the entries here would fail those three bulleted questions. Only the entries that would pass in this are already included in Category:Victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. I would delete the entries in this article which fail WP:NLIST and keep only blue-linked names which are already in the category. I don't see the purpose as well as any encyclopedic value in listing out random names of people in such a obituary like directory. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:29, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
• Delete this is not a memorial website so the list of casulties is not really needed unless any of them are otherwise notable (that is already have or be notable for a stand-alone wiki article) and they if they are they can be mention in the parent 2008 Mumbai attacks. MilborneOne (talk) 16:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
