Northern exposure rescue

[edit]

Non-notable organization. This is the second incarnation of this article, the first previously deleted had proper capitalization. No proper explanation as to why the speedy deletion tag was removed. 14 Gogle hits, nothing in Google news. Corvus cornix_talk 23:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because I wanted to take a closer look at the article. After I did, I felt there was a weak assertion of notability. I was in the process of composing a message on your talk page informing you of this and recommending AFD while you were doing the AFD.--Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately google news is not a true reflection of the the world news and should not be used as gauge of popularity. Google itself and other search engines do produce more results. In any case 14 is more than enough! The article has been edited to now include proper capitalization. You are correct that this is the second version of this article after the comments of others were taken onboard. Clowe01 (talk) 00:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, 14 Google hits is not more than enough. Please read WP:RS. Corvus cornix_talk 01:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Note: I quickly converted many of the raw external links to ((cite web))s and wikilinks to make it easier to check out. Just noting that you're free to review an older revision if you believe I might have messed up a relevant citation. None of the links in the article show non-trivial coverage from independent reliable sources. From what I can tell, none of the links outside of the organization's own page even mention Northern Exposure Rescue. They're just coverage or trivial listings for the named events. The only link that goes to a reliable source, the Telegraph article, contains no mention of the article's subject. Notability is not inherited by peripheral participation in notable events.

Just a comment for now: A search shows that the author had an article in PC Magazine and the program was independently covered in the book "Apple Hacks." It is included in some Linux distributions. I think that it could easily meet WP:N. I suspect that there are probably other sources which would satisfy WP:RS (it had received a lot more non-RS coverage (gizmodo/lifehacker/etc.) than other software & this often trickles into print media). Since I don't have better examples at the moment, I won't argue that we should keep it. But it is worth pointing out that the problem with the article isn't really that the subject lacks notability. --Karnesky (talk) 22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No sources to establish notability and unable to locate anything on Google. Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 23:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article was tagged for speedy deletion as an attack page. I removed that speedy template as I see no evidence that this is an attack page. If, on the other hand, someone thinks it meets CSD A7, feel free to tag it as such, I just felt it was too borderline and merited discussion. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 23:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still stand by the speedy delete as an attack page. I won't quote the article, but this link (Urban Dictionary, NSFW) may give some insight. The article uses derogative terms for homosexuality to insult someone. It may appear that this person (and their father) run a quaint little confectionery outlet, but it really isn't the case. Perhaps the term is only really used in British English? Booglamay (talk) - 23:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The A7 claim is borderline, hoaxes aren't speedyable per the CSD rules, not proveable as an attack page...

An English singer/songwriter who does not meet the criteria for an article in the encyclopedia per WP:MUSIC. Previously deleted after being prodded. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete insufficient mention in reliable sources, he has received a few mentions for his tour with Daniel Kitson (eg. 1,2,3) but they are all trivial and contain essential no biographical information. His record label is Gravity DIP Records which appears to be a not insignificant indie label and thus might meet WP:MUSIC criterion #6, but I find the lack of RS and, failure to meet the WP:GNG by any measure, to overwhelm that. Also, this means very little as it is pretty subjective, but judging by his myspace comments[1] he does not have a very large fan base. - Icewedge (talk) 00:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Nah, the idea is to apply Wikipedia:Summary style, not only on Prem Rawat#References (which imho should be shortened due to over-all length, not expanded), but also on Divine Light Mission#References and Elan Vital (organization)#Bibliography – see: Talk:Bibliography of Prem Rawat and related organizations#Questions: proposed MO.
As for the noteworthyness/viability of individual entries in the bibliography article: these points can be raised at Talk:Bibliography of Prem Rawat and related organizations, for instance at Talk:Bibliography of Prem Rawat and related organizations#Currently not retained in article namespace: discussing this at AfD in an all-or-nothing style is a bit surreal. --Francis Schonken (talk) 04:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Madison Agency

[edit]

Self promotional article created by User:Gabriel Moginot who has also been hard at work writing his own article at Gabriel Moginot, which has been deleted two or three times already. That user has been trying to use Wikipedia to launch his career as a budding photographer by inserting numerous images (probably copyrighted) into any article even remotely related to the title of the picture.

Acronyms in the Philippines

[edit]

Claims like "Acronyms are popular in the Philippines" are original research. List itself is just a collection of acronyms and what they stand for, not much in the way of notability and no encyclopedic value. maxsch (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Mixed feelings about this one. To some extent, it is encyclopedic and contains information that should be placed somewhere, like "Vote for D CHAMPP", a campaign slogan that has no equivalent in American politics, and a sourced article about how acronyms are used in the Phillipine media might be worthwhile. I'm surprised, though, at how much original research fluff. My favorite unsourced statement, more so than "Acronyms are popular" is this one: "Pedantic discussions on the differences between abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms is non-existent since for most Filipinos, all are considered acronyms whether or not the acronym is spelled out or spoken like a word." Did someone do a survey or something? Mandsford (talk) 23:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retain This is a very good encyclopedic article. Proof: a) it is well-sourced, meaning therefore, putting tons of links like BBC, AFP, etc. are not essential, due to "res ipsa loquitur" principle, b) not only students, teachers, but even scholars, professors, and Philippine jurists can benefit from this well-written article. I myself, would use this, in preparation of court pleadings, and c) the blue wikified links are in themselves source of tons of links. This is not an original research.--Florentino floro (talk) 08:04, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than trying to argue that sources "are not essential", the editors should simply find soume sources to cure the "original research" objections are easily cured by the addition of sources. This one doesn't have any sources. It can't be described as "sourced", let alone "well sourced". I agree that the subject is encyclopedic, which is all the more reason that the article should be brought up to Wikipedia's standards. For the time being, the non-acronym "O.R." applies. Mandsford (talk) 19:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added a source - it wasn't difficult. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good start. I urge people to follow Warden's example and put sources, and if there are some items that can't be sourced (like those "most Filipinos agree" sentences) those can be removed through cleanup. Mandsford (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that sources alone can save this artlice. The fact that acronyms are used in the Philippines does not make "Acronyms in the Philippines" an encyclopedic article. The claims about acronyms--their popularity in the Philippines, the inclusiveness of the definition--will be OR no matter what. Even a "List of Acronyms in the Philippines" would violate WP:NOTDIR and WP:SYN. It is an accumulation of unrelated acronyms based only on the fact that they are used in the Philippines. WTF. maxsch (talk) 00:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or listify Currently almost all the text is unsourced, based on synthesis and is not presented from a neutral point of view. Based on the one source provided it seems like the topic could have an article but there is nothing to base it on at present (and I have found no additional sources) ideally a list of this sort should complement an article but as it is the unsourced, POV text with statements such as "Pedantic discussions on the differences between abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms is non-existent since for most Filipinos" should really be removed anyway. Guest9999 (talk) 00:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Maybe greatly trim down the actual list of acronyms in the second part of the article and just source (or remove if sources can't be found) the contentious statements in the prose part. --seav (talk) 04:46, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What would determine whether a particular acronym belongs? There doesn't seem to be any reasonable criteria to decide what a "acronym in the Philippines" is. Is it an acronym that is used in the Philippines? An acronym used only in the Philippines? Does it have to be an acronym for something notable? It's just too vague. maxsch (talk) 05:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retitle to Use of acronyms in the Philippines. However, I think EVERY acronym should be properly cited. I am aware of "VOTE 4 D CHAMPP" though. Starczamora (talk) 14:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inadequacy

[edit]

This article confuses me. This is tagged as "disambiguation" but it "disambiguates" different meanings of the word inadequacy, none of which are encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a dictionary per WP:DICDEF. Tavix (talk) 21:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carola Darwin

[edit]

Notability of the subject not established. See comments by previous editor on the article's Talk Page. Jack1956 (talk) 21:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't see how she is yet notable; her career is not yet established. DGG (talk) 00:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. For the record, I'll paste my Talk Page comments below:

In my opinion it is too soon for an article on Carola Darwin. She does not appear to pass the criteria for the notability of creative professionals or musicians, composers, lyricists. Note that being the great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin, and the sister of Emma Darwin does not establish notability either. Notability is not inherited. See Google search results for "Carola Darwin" on the web and in news archives (all dates).

The opera mentioned (Children of Fire) is still being developed and is not due to premiere until 2009 at the earliest. The notability of the project and Carola Darwin's involvement in it is not established at the point. See these Google search results for web and news archives (all dates)

The opera performances listed do not state the company. Having checked several of them, they appear to be student productions, community organizations, and semi-professional companies. No major roles with notable professional opera companies, no solo recitals in major concert halls, and no appearances as a soloist with a major orchestra which have been reviewed in reliable independent sources.

The Vienna Show mentioned is part of the subject's as yet uncompleted PhD and has received no notable coverage on the web or in the news (all dates) This mention [2] is for a project at the Young Vic for:

"directors at an early stage of their career. The only criteria for joining is that they consider themselves professional directors, are not in full time education and are resident in the UK. It is important that when using this list detailed references are taken up as presence on this list is not in itself a recommendation." [3]

I've re-checked the links above and there is no improvement in notability, of either Darwin or her proposed project. Nor has the article been improved or references supporting notability added. My arguments remain the same.Voceditenore (talk) 11:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Stated in criterion A7: An article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable. Just because this band has not went on any major tours yet, does NOT mean that their page has to be deleted. They are a notable and very popular independent band. They don't have to have a label to be a very popular band. They have a buzznet, a myspace, also has been in The Southern Illinoisan, their songs do play on the radio. They are notable.

V language

[edit]

Claims to be a syntax-free computer language. I submit that it is impossible to have a syntax-free language, human or computer. Despite the refs, this language is not notable. - Sgroupace (talk) 20:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. But ,as I being a person who has tried the language, I can tell that there can be such type of a language . In fact the mechanism is quite simple. It uses natural language processing to process the input text and converts into a specific syntax (through dictionary modes , grammatical operations etc) and later executes it. I hope you may also tried AIML for chatter bots. Karthika.kerala (talk) 20:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:For what it's worth, there is a syntax to V; it's just very loose. Take a look, for example, at this page: http://www.grogammer.com/v/printmsg.html (the website that allows you to "program" in V). It even says right there at the bottom of the page that there's a V syntax. Dgcopter (talk) 20:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, syntax or not, its existence can be verified through the references, and some are of a quality that states notability. But I have marked it with ((advertisement)) for not being particularly neutral point-of-view, especially in the lead (which is not blatant enough to interfere with this AfD). Arsenikk ^(talk) 20:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Sgroupace is correct: there can be no language without syntax. Whether there is a syntax to V or not (of course there is), there should be correct syntax and correct claims in an article about V (or anything else). It doesn't look just look an ad, it looks like it's written by someone who has no authority to speak about syntax. This discussion shouldn't really be about V--it should be about the article about V. Karthika.kerala should do his homework. Drmies (talk) 03:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - one of my project volunteers told me that she had created an article in Wikipedia about language V. But the article doesn't carry any info related to AST used and the drawbacks of the current version. The article seems as if it is written to attract more developers for the project. Wikipedia is not the place for that ! Some one pl review the article and make it "neutral" .BTW, there is nothing wrong is saying that the V is "syntax free" because the input is in NL. It uses NLP to get the desired syntax. Pl refer to the project site for more tech details. Aasisvinayak (talk) 08:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aasisvinayak's response puzzles me a bit. Are you talking about two different articles? (And please don't suggest that NL (natural language, I assume) is syntax-free--it is not. Yes, I am a grammarian. By profession.) This article needs to be rewritten to the point where the original is pretty much gone, if it's to be a keeper. Drmies (talk) 02:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think from a programmer's POV it can be called as syntax free or at least very loose syntax as in the program "I would like to print" , "I wish to print" , "I wanna print" or "Print" - all have the same effect. BTW, I shall incorporate the missing point and will rewrite the article from Neutral POV. Karthika.kerala (talk) 10:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request As discussed on the AfD talk page, if this article (or any of the series of articles) is closed as a delete, please kindly first move the article to User:Paulmcdonald/Articlename, where "Articlename" is the name of the article (or articles) being removed.

This would give the project memebers time to work on improving the articles.

Keep — Subject of the article clearly exists; nothing else matters. Sources are only necessary for direct quotes and for statements someone is challenging, so the lack thereof is not a valid reason to delete. If you have a problem with lack of sources, perhaps you should do some productive work yourself rather than lazily deleting the hard work of others because you can't be bothered to do anything positive for the encyclopedia.

Keep. Certainly needs improvement, expansion and better sourcing, but IMO the subject is notable and passes WP:BIO. First, regarding helping to found the zoo. I did a bit of googling and there is a mention at the website of the Willar library in Indiana that confirms this[4]: "Knecht Building. One of the first buildings at the zoo (named in honor of Karl Kae Knecht, who helped to found the zoo); photo dated 1930 (Knecht 1526)". I'd like to have a better ref but this one is OK for now. GoogleNews[5] and, particularly, GoogleBooks[6] searches show reasonably substantial coverage, including a very recent news-story[7]. There was, for instance, a newstory about him in 1955 whose title starts "Karl Kae Knecht, Famed Cartoonist, Returns To Old Home..."[8]. Also, more significantly, a book "The world of Karl Kae Knecht through his cartoons" was published in 1979, 5 years afte his death[9]. I do not have access to this book at the moment but from what I understood from this link[10], that is a book written by another person, Philip Ensley, professor of history at the University of Evansville, about Knecht's art (with, presumably, a substantial amount of biographical info). I think that this book alone already makes him pass WP:BIO, even though it is not exactly a biography. Nsk92 (talk) 21:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's a university press book devoted to his work, which is certainly enough for notability by any standard. No need to argue further, just expand the article. MBisanz, do you want to withdraw the nom? I can't help thinking it would have been more useful for Kurt to check than to debate general principles. DGG (talk) 22:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo character fusions

[edit]

This list of characters does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. They are all pretty much one-shot gag characters that have no real importance outside of their one or two appearances (as with many jokes from television shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy).

Delete This one does not belong in an encyclopedia. The significant part of it is already in the main article, and the details are totally nonencyclopedic.

The series is composed of the characters & plot, and the N is composite, and not distinguishable--the GNG is not rationally applicable to fictional characters, and there isn't any agreed alternative, but common sense would suggest at least to me that merge is appropriate for minor, but not major characters to prevent the article from being unwieldy. It's really just a format question, though.

Keep Vic Viper is an icon that represents Gradius and so this article should not be deleted, and while I wouldn't be opposed to a merge if done properly, nominating an obviously iconic character to force the process is not something I'll have a hand in. So my vote is to Keep. JuJube (talk) 04:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Vic Viper isn't just major entity in Gradius. It also major entity in other series such as Zone of the Ender 2 and Sky Girl. Merge with Gradius most likely narrow the coverage on that area. L-Zwei (talk) 05:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep/merge. Vic Viper is an iconic character of Konami, its appearance is not limited to the Gradius series.(Even if you include the Parodius series as a sub-series) I don't know if it could be sourced or not, I know of none for the time being, yet it is very obvious that Konami included it in quite a lot of games and anime like the ones suggested L-Zwei, it even gained appearance in the love sim series Tokimeki Memorial, twice(PC Engine version and 3). The busou shinki design competition winner also claimt to have its design inspired by Vic Viper (It is inspired by the Anubis Version Vic Viper from ZOE) which could be sourced from the June, 2008 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine and a model was built for it in the August, 2008 issue. I must say that the current article is in a real poor state, but it seems like poorly written is never a good argument in having it deleted. MythSearcher^talk 06:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it actually would appear this is a new technology, not just a neologism. See the following news items: 1.) Sprint unveils location-based ‘geobrowsing’ on eve of WiMax launch (Yes, that's a blog post, but it is from a highly respected computer tech site, ZDNet), 2.) Sprint Assembles broad range of partners to deliver “geobrowsing”, 3.) In the Wireless World, 3 Things Matter: Location, Location, Location, 4.) Leading Location-Based Service Providers Turn to Eventful for Comprehensive Local Event Content. Now, it could well be that these are all articles stemming from a single press release, perhaps by Sprint, but it does bear further scrutiny, and if kept, the article would most certainly need to be re-written.

Request As discussed on the AfD talk page, if this article (or any of the series of articles) is closed as a delete, please kindly first move the article to User:Paulmcdonald/Articlename, where "Articlename" is the name of the article (or articles) being removed. Also, please note the new page location at User:Paulmcdonald/deletedcoach so we can be sure to find the moved page.
Why? There have been, at present count, 58 articles of our project placed on the AfD list and there is just not enough time to adequately and appropriately respond and ultimately improve the articles themselves. This would give the project memebers time to work on improving the articles. This request should in no way imply that I believe that the article (or articles) in quesiton should be deleted at this time. I am making a simple cut-n-paste request due to the sheer volume of AfDs in such a short period of time.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Fails WP:PROF. Awards listing are essentially resume padding, and there does not seem to be any claim to fame. No notice of her in the outside the fringe community within which she has been able to garner mention (e.g. Uri Geller's website mentions her as a "scientist" who supports him). Lack of mainstream independent, reliable sources which acknowledge her notability make her article unworthy of Wikipedia and without such sources, editors will be unable to write in a neutral fashion.

Hypotheses of consciousness and spacetime

[edit]

This is almost entirely original research (a portion, at least, of which appears to be promoted by Elizabeth Rauscher whose article is also up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elizabeth Rauscher). Essentially, the article as is inappropriately synthesizes a large number of standard run-of-the-mill statements about spacetime and puts on pretense that they are somehow discussing "consciousness". Let such ideas gain the notice of those in the relevant academic fields before Wikipedia has an article on it, please. ScienceApologist (talk) 17:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is just a hocus pocus of terms, simple saying that the brain can effect the physical word and time. The problem is, as the page already says, not one of the ideas have been tested. So until there is some solid evidence that there is a way to test such a theory and a test is performed, its just a notion with out much of a following. What I object to the most is the obscurest use of terms in such a nonsensical way, its a disservice to those reading wikipedia to include nonsensical articles.

Delete It's been there four years and not marked as a stub, so one is entitled to expect a bit of maturity. There is a "References" section but nothing in the text is linked to it (no use of <ref>), so at best it would be WP:OR. It seems to be full of unsubstantiated speculation and name-dropping.

delete no evidence this is a significant view. There are lots of theories out there that try to mix theoretical physics with paranormal/mystical concerns.

Recreation of twice-deleted material by CSD; advertising; non-notability. Article could potentially be improved, as per discussion with Tnxman307. — Yavoh 16:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This company does not demonstrate notability that is verifiable in reliable sources. TN‑X-Man 16:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am copying the following from the AfD talk page for the author. TN‑X-Man 21:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose for the recreation is OBVIOUSLY to make the article both more legitimate and neutral. It contains multiple sources, is well-researched, and has absolutely no legitimate reason to be deleted. On another note, the admins should feel free to edit the page as needed, since that is one of the principles that Wikipedia was founded upon. The admins claim that they encourage civility, but I must refute that on account of this nomination for deletion with no legitimate reason for doing so. On another note, I will continue to recreate this page until it stays should you rudely delete a my well-researched hard work. Also, I highly doubt the owners and founders of the company would appreciate it either, considering Edelbrock IS in your "encyclopedia," which an article that is written in a very similar fashion to this one. Good day.

Both of you are incorrect in your OPINIONS of "Advertising;Non-Notability". Perhaps you should try actually READING the articles. Slow down, take your time, and check each source to verify how incredibly wrong this petition really is. Also, TNXman should copy the message that is on Yavoh's discussion page. It is a much more persuasive argument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabarke1 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The first part, a history of the title, is for the most part a direct Babelfish translation of the Spanish Wikipedia Marquesado de Aguilar de Campoo page [21]. It is intended to read something like:

". . . is the present Marquis of Aguilar, a title inherited from [his] maternal ancestors, direct descendants of the House of Lara (also called the Manrique de Lara), who originate in the Kings of Castile, themselves descendants of the early Counts of Castile."

"The Marquesses of Aguilar de Campoo have traditionally held the inherited title of Grand Chancellor of Castile. The Marquesses of Aguilar de Campoo (who were made Grandees of Spain), were originally Lords of that town and its associated holdings, 14th century King Enrique II of Castile confirming his brother Tello of Castile's holdings there. The Catholic Monarchs [i.e. Ferdinand and Isabella] in 1484 elevated Garci Fernandez IV Manrique de Lara, fifth Lord of Aguilar de Campoo, third Count of Castañeda and Buelna, Grand Chancellor of Castile, great-grandson and successor of Don Tello, to the title of Marquess of Aguilar de Campoo."

None of this really tells us much about the subject. We then learn where he was born, where he was educated, and that he had some military training. He has a hero, belongs to a political party and is president of a labor organization, and he travels and helps the poor.

Good for him, but as a Wikipedia page, it suffers from violations of WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:NOR, as well as violating many of the criteria set forward in WP:BLP, not to mention its translation problems. Still, all this might be cleaned up, but there is little point if it fails to meet WP:N. There are two potential claims to notability. First is the title itself. If rightly held, it is unclear that the holding of such a title in Spain, in and of itself, attaches notability to the subject in the English Wikipedia. Likewise, the Spanish Wikipedia Marquesado de Aguilar de Campoo page traces the title to another individual who seems yet to be living, and I find her making claim to the title on several independent web pages, suggesting recent inheritance (too recent to be updated), competing claims or hoax. Second is the leadership of the UNT. This appears to be a legitimate labor organization founded on the principles of his hero, but again we have the same two issues - does this make it notable for English Wikipedia, and is the claim authentic. The Spanish Wikipedia page for the Union [22] states that on 1 May 2008, Rafael Muñiz García, who had been president for 30 years, was replaced by Jorge Garrido San Román. This information is also reported in the organization's newsletter [23] without indication of subsequent change. This claim, then, may represent a hoax. Thus the page currently fails to demonstrate notability and appears dubious regarding both qualifying claims, although the subject does appear to have stood for election on his party's slate, as Alberto Alfonso González Rodrigo, but such activity alone fails to confer notability. Taken together, the retention of this page is hard to justify. Agricolae (talk) 11:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vulcan starships

[edit]

No citations to multiple third-party reliable sources to establish notability. All but one citation is for plot, and is cited only to primary sources. Single "real-world" citation is to an unreliable source and is a one-line bit of trivia. --EEMIV (talk) 14:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I seconded the prod, which was contested. I'm not sure this is very controversial. They might have some coverage in that book by the Okuda's but I doubt it since the first real mention of those ships (well, not really a mention) was in First Contact.

Keep Acceptable combination article for major setting elements of a very major series. It is appropriate to bring this material together. The primary sourcing is enough for this sort of material. DGG (talk) 20:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a note, these were relatively minor elements of one series in the Star Trek universe (the final and probably least significant series). For the rest of the Star Trek episodes and movies, first contact with the Vulcans was something in the distant past and their ships were rarely (if ever) mentioned in canon fiction. They were (as the article notes) never presented on screen until the 8th movie (Star Trek: First Contact). They were not there, nor were they in Star Trek: Enterprise, settings. They were ships shown on screen in various battles or situations. This is in contrast to a few Romulan starships which played host to episodes including half of Balance of Terror. I'm not suggesting that use as settings is some sort of shadow critereon by which these episodes should be judged, but if you are planning to do so, I figured you should be informed as to the significance of these ships within the fictional universe. Protonk (talk) 01:12, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article is almost wholly constitutive of plot, with no evidence of having received any significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 20:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:N, in that there does not seem to be any mention of these ships in independent sources. I always provide some leeway for lists ... if someone could even manage to demonstrate that anyone outside of the universe had even made a writeup that went into any detail at all about Vulcan ships, I'd switch to keep.Kww (talk) 23:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Largely for the reason DGG identified. Trek is a work of fiction. Therefore, the only truly reliable sources for "facts" in that fictional universe will be the books, movies, shows, and licensed publications themselves. The Vulcans are a major group in the Trek universe, and the information in the article appears to be pulled together from more than just one episode/book. (Full disclosure, I haven't watched a Trek-type program in over 10 years.) Crypticfirefly (talk) 06:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the case at all. Let's take the X Files, for example. the x files is a work of fiction, but there have been several books written about episodes, characters and themes. For example, "Deny All Knowledge": Reading the X Files, is written by people independent from Fox and covers (among other things) several elements of the X Files quite deeply. The points people are making about WP:PLOT is that we have fairly well established policy that says we shouldn't be in the business of just recapitulating plot details. One of the ways to ensure we don't do that is to limit our coverage of subjects to those which have already been covered by independent sources. There is some dispute as to how fair this is for fictional subject, but it is not impossible, by any stretch. Protonk (talk) 06:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. But I think you have to agree that the ultimate source of information repeated in those X-Files books has to be the show itself. I don't think you can deny that the books are a reliable, verifiable source for the information. Your argument is instead that since no book on Star Trek has been cited, that the information isn't sufficiently important to be included here. That's an entirely different argument and not one that I think is especially valid in this specific context. Further, given the overall notability of Star Trek and its "universe" in general, the thousands of scholarly articles written on the topic, much less role playing guides and what not, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is likely that someone can find a third-party reference for this stuff if they go looking. It just isn't going to be me. Now if someone were to suggest that the article be merged in Vulcans or some article on Star Trek spaceships in general, that would be a different story. Crypticfirefly (talk) 15:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The ultimate source for the information is the fiction writers. From the standpoint of verifiability, that is helpful. In this case we aren't talking about whether or not the information can be verified but whether or not wikipedia should have an article on the subject. In that case, like it or lump it, our current consensus is that secondary sources determine the answer to that question. There is by no means overwhelming consensus for that result, because it gives the unpleasant outcome of removing large numbers of fictional articles and keeping others for reasons which are arbitrary within the fictional world. In other words, it doesn't let us build a comprehensive fiction reference. It only allows us to cover sub-elements which have received attention from independent sources. Those may be minor or major within the fictional world and they may be the result of causes outside the fictional world. E.G. there are far more possible references for the TOS communicators than most ships, planets or space stations in the Star Trek universe because the "clamshell" cellular phone was basically based on them. I have been trying (along with DGG) to figure out a new guideline for inclusion of fictional subjects but to be honest I don't have any good answers to this problem. In the mean time, I hope you will weigh in on what I see as a first step toward being able to write such a guideline, an RFC about notability guidelines themselves: Wikipedia talk:Notability/RFC:compromise. Protonk (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge along with the other crufty ship list articles in the nav template or delete because of WP:N, WP:UNDUE, WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:SYNTH etc. It's only fair to apply policies and guidelines to highly populuar fiction franchises as well, but I can see how a combined ST Starship list would still be beneficial to wikipedia. – sgeureka ^t•c 16:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Persepolis F.C. players

[edit]

WP:POV / WP:OR list of "notable players". Category:Persepolis FC players serves the same purpose. --Jimbo^[online] 14:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible keep, per this discussion. It's not an AfD, but the reasons behind it are basically the same. No doubt the current criteria of "notable" on this list is inherently POV, but that's a reason for improvement and not deletion. Putting in a similar requirement of 100 apps would be preferable. Of course, being an Iranian club doesn't help with the ability to source this - what with being a rather obscure nation in footballing terms - and if sources for this page can't be found, then I would support deletion. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 15:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In its current form, delete. The article currently has no inclusion criteria, and is therefore not compliant with Wikipedia's NPOV policy. However, if some criteria could be formulated, such as a minimum of 100 appearances for the club, then it could perhaps be kept. – Pee Jay 16:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am disappointed at the keep comments that fail to provide any evidence of notability, and that fail to reflect any efforts to improve the article. I still do not see references to establish notability, nor do I see evidence that this article can ever be anything more than a stub. Perhaps we could create an article about CyberLink and cover all of the company's products there. This should be done in a non-promotional way. Jehochman ^Talk 18:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I added some more material and references. The article is no longer just a stub and goes some way (all the way?) to establishing notability. For example, most PCs have had a DVD capable optical drive since around 1999-2000. Thus, most ship with DVD playing software. The two major DVD players for Windows are PowerDVD and WinDVD, so almost every consumer PC system since around about 2000 has shipped with one of those. PowerDVD and WinDVD are also the only official ways to play HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs on a PC. To say PowerDVD is not notable is ridiculous and just panders to deletionism. Just because an article needs improvement (which it is getting) is not a reason to delete it. It's a reason to improve it. Instead of trying to destroy stuff on Wikipedia, why not try to organise improvements?Mojo-chan (talk) 21:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article says he's an amateur player, thus fails WP:ATHLETE. Captaining the Walker Cup team appears is an assertation of notability, but I'm not sure it's enough to cement notability. I couldn't really find many reliable sources with which to establish notability ([26][27]) outside of the Walker Cup mention. I'm not particularly familiar with golf, however, so I might be wrong here, but this fact, with the lack of numerous reliable sources, means this article does not seem to pass WP:BIO.

Cynder (character)

I object to the deletion of this article. It already contains a nice collected set of information on Cynder, the character.

Also, more information may be forthcoming that can be added to it once the third game in the spyro series is released and fans thereof have had their chance to contribute their own input.

At a minimum, I think we should wait until then to decide. If we delete it now, anyone who would want to recreate this article with noteworthy information later would have to go through the trouble of checking the history or writing it from scratch.

Dark 2step

[edit]

unnecessary - a sub-subgenre, content should be merged with UK Garage or 2Step garage at very best. whilst referenced to a point, fails WP:N. article concerns a subgenre of garage, a descendent of drum and bass, which in turn is a derivative of jungle (this issue is widespread; garage is already a genre divisive enough to warrant two articles). Anyay in summation nothing is achieved by splintering the genre further. comments at Talk:Dubstep are also worth consideration --Kaini (talk) 02:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep:

Article is referenced from magazine sources.

1st reference is from "Pitchfork" magazine, british electronic music magazine. It states: "As the Velvet Room sessions took garage in a more concerted, darker direction, its mix of dark 2step ("nu dark swing"), breakbeat garage, and proto-grime (also then known as "8bar" or "east beat") was for a while collectively referred to as "The Forward>> sound.".

2nd reference: ".. in shaping the dark 2step sound that preceded dubstep", is translated review section of "Groove" magazine, german electronic music magazine.

3rd reference(pdf) (HTML version) is from "Kick" magazine, canadian electronic music magazine. It is stated there: "Dubstep dawned around the turn of the millennium out of Croydon, South London and was birthed from two similar genres, Grime and dark 2step."

4th reference is from "Spannered" website, site about audiovisual arts. The citation from that page is: "Fragmented styles of electronic dance music have often yielded exciting new sounds. In recent years, the advent of dubstep has occurred through mutations in dark ‘2-step’ garage, combined with influences from jungle and dub to create a new sound."

5th reference is from "Cyclic Defrost", australian electronic music magazine. It is about the sound of dark 2step: "...it was more just dark 2-step garage for a long time but without any vocals; just beats and bass lines"

Many musical genres have articles of its dark subgenres, for example Psychedelic trance-Dark psytrance. -- Yaneleksklus (talk) 02:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Despite the nominator's claims, this has sufficient sourcing; merging is the proper way to go if you believe that a sourced article is too specific. Nyttend (talk) 13:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment: my main concern here is that this article was created purely to leverage the introduction of the term into the infobox for Dubstep. i have grave doubts that the author intends to develop the article beyond the existing state, and i don't think anyone else will either. and the author hasn't developed the dubstep article (which is stable, and GA state) beyond the addition of the term to the infobox either. to paraphrase from the talk page for that article, why limit the infobox to "dark" garage? - a closed-minded attitude to genre only limits the article. i think that UK Garage and 2Step Garage cover the stylistic origins of this genre well, without the need for additional complications from subgenres.

anyway, some of that is by the by and moot as regards the AfD. although if anyone has any suggestions regarding where to discuss this, i'm all ears. --Kaini (talk) 22:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, sufficiently sourced and hence notable, can't see the argument here I'm afraid. The author who was pushing to get "dark 2step" into the dubstep infobox was going the right way about it creating a sourced article to support his claim. I'd definitely consider merging with 2-step garage but not deleting the information. - filelake shoe 11:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. Non-notable book, fails WP:BK.

Weak Keep The reprinting indicates a classic. The current reviews are just sufficient for notability, stronger keep if reviews of the original ed. can be found. DGG (talk) 01:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Looking at Google Books, the reviews do exist, e. g. Booklist Books 1924, 33 (but google won't let me see them). A book on Diane Arbus there says the book was a bestseller in the 30's. It's clearly her main success – it gets mentioned in reviews of her other books, e. g. The Horn Book Magazine 7, 1931, review of Gay Mystery, "To a lover of Mrs. Eliot's 'Buttercup Day' and her 'Wind Boy', that fairy tale written true beauty of" (and there the snippet ends, so I'll never know). N p holmes (talk) 10:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sources added previously were enough to show notability, but I've added a couple more for good measure, and, as the previous editor said, this Google Books search shows that there are plenty more sources out there - it's just a pity that all but one of them allow no more than those tantalising snippets to be read.

Karim Said Atmani

[edit]

Sub-stub accusing someone of being a terrorist. No real details, with very thin sourcing for such an explosive charge, not to mention somewhat confusing--he's described as 'A Canadian living illegally in Montreal', which, if he really is Canadian, is difficult to imagine how it would be illegal for him live in his own country. Standard article improvement tags have been meet with outright hostility and removal, but little real improvement or, indeed, evidence that this living individual either qualifies for an article or deserves such labelling. CalendarWatcher (talk) 06:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep, Bad Faith Nomination, He's a convicted terrorist, and a quick google check confirms he meets notability guidelines, and I really don't know what your problem with the article is. As soon as the article was created, the nominator threw every single template on it he could find, including "This article is not linked", "This article needs attention from an expert in the field", "This article does not offer a worldwide perspective of the topic and focuses on a specific region's interpretation", "This article does not cite its souces" (even though it clearly does and did), "This article needs some attention to its lead paragraph" (...even though it's a stub?). I think I'll let a bot speak for my opinion of CalendarWatcher's "good faith" nomination. 12:56, September 18, 2008 JL-Bot (Talk | contribs) m (1,147 bytes) (removing orphan template as 99 article links exist). Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 06:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every single tag applied--and, really, still applies--to the article, whatever minor dressing-up you've done. Your lead paragraph, in addition to dodging the issue of why the article exists in the first place, also contradicts itself: again, how can a Canadian be living 'illegally' in his own country? And as you've already been told--but have seen fit to dodge using the irrelevancy of the bot edit--its incoming links seem to solely come from the two ghastly over-sized navigation templates (((CanadianTerrorism)) and ((FrenchTerrorism))) which seem to list every single person of either nationality considered a 'terrorist' and deceptively inflate the count.

I'd suggest that knowing the latter and still making your inflated claim of regarding the number of links counts more objectively as 'bad faith' than your rather wild projections of motives you can't possibly know or derive. My problems with the article are exactly what I've said they are, your wild and fact-free accusations notwithstanding. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Google Books alone lists 9 published books that mention Atmani's role in the War on Terror, he's not even one of the "extremely minor brother of a guy who drove a bus" guys. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 07:13, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Mention' is not sufficient by any standard. You certainly haven't even claimed, let alone demonstrated, that he's NOT 'one of the "extremely minor brother of a guy who drove a bus" guys'. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this guy plainly is notable, and this isn't some POVpushing page. There's plainly plenty of sourcing (and as such isn't a BLP violation), it provides a sufficiently worldwide view (there's presumably just one Karim Said Atmani running around), and as noted, there are tons of links. Tags have been met with removal for good reason. Nyttend (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe the word 'plainly' means what you think it means. The sourcing--what little that I've been able to check--shows nothing really biographical, and the 'tons of links' are, as I've pointed out, at best, inflated. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- - 100% of the sources are online, so there is no reason you can't check all of them if you so desire, but some are hosted on sites breaking copyright law by hosting them, so cannot be hotlinked in the references themselves...use google, you will find them. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 10:07, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article does need improvement (particularly the "Canadian living illegally in Montreal" bit certainly needs to be fixed), but the subject is notable and the sources cited in the article already demonstrate this. In addition to the books mentioned by Sherurcij, GoogleNews results also show significant coverage [31], over an extended period of time in newsmedia of several countries. Nsk92 (talk) 13:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm. Perhaps this is a keeper if Sherurcij can cite from any of those nine books--instead of referring to a Syrian news agency or from a summary of a report from Canadian security services. I find the lack of easily accessible documentation (as given in the references--I can't find those 'tons of links' in there) troubling. Drmies (talk) 17:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you must have missed the Washington Post, Seattle Times, Kohlmann's book and such in the references already. More references are possible, and surely over time the article will improve and take in all references; but a keep/delete vote is based on its potential, not whether it's currently a featured article. Also, Assyria is not Syria :P Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 18:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the WashPost story.-- Logical Premise^Ergo? 18:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing Commentary - one of the cites here names him as a document forger with a tenuous connection to a possible terrorist, but this book claims he was a "notable member of Al-qaida". This book seems to suggest that his link existed before the roommate even got into terrorism. And a Canadian legal finding pretty much only mentions him as someone for another person to avoid coming into contact with. After pulling one of these books in my local library, a careful examination of their sources reveals most of them are piles of very poorly referenced assertions, and I'm not sure they qualify as reliable sources. Also, no gnews hits, no a9, no good news coverage. I don't really know whether to keep or delete, but while there are sources of a secondary nature, they strike me as shaky at best. -- Logical Premise^Ergo? 18:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wokai

[edit]

While the article and references demonstrate the notability of microfinance and the reality of poverty in rural China, the online references do NOT demonstrate in any way the notability (or even verify the activities) of the subject of the article. Specifically, the only ones that discuss the organization itself (at least, in English) are the organization's own pages. The other references (New York Times, etc.) do not mention Wokai at all. The main contributor's edits to Wikipedia seem to be very narrow, so there is no track record of identifying important but thinly referenced organizations that would lead to giving the benefit of the doubt. Bongomatic (talk) 06:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

keep hello, additional external references from authorities on poverty in rural china that directly reference wokai were omitted from the references list. There is some debate whether these should be included in the revised posting. A list of these references is now posted on the wokai talk page —Preceding unsigned comment added by KDguac (talk • contribs) 06:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KDguac, please see my comments to you on your talk page. For everyone else, I would simply note that those references do not reflect, even in aggregate, "significant coverage in reliable sources" as suggested in WP:GNG. Bongomatic (talk) 06:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I have to agree that the coverage in reliable secondary sources amounts to passing mentions at best. Thus Wokai fails the primary notability guideline. Huon (talk) 09:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question -- Wokai microloans are by definition very small ($50-$100) and most impactful to an audience in a remote part of the world (rural China). Because references cited are both domestic and foreign, the author asks if additional consideration of the following excerpt from WP:ORG is appropriate in weighing the magnitude of the media footprint: “The source's audience must also be considered; evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability, whereas attention solely by local media is not an indication of notability.” KDguac (talk) 17:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what sources on an organization that invests American money in China to call "foreign". Anyway, I don't think I've seen a source mention Wokai that's not intimately linked to Chinese-American charities and non-profit organizations, making for a similarly specialized audience.

It is made clear by his many accolades that Xavier Ruffin is a noteworthy person. If not for his art work, at least for his inspirational story—a young homeless boy, the son of two drug addicts becomes a successful artist and designer with shows at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.—

There is also the ORI movement that he is pushing forward with a small collective of people. The concept of "art work emitting from the original source with in" through digital media, which has yet to be elaborated on in the article.

I'd suggest you read WP:BIO first. Just having a hard childhood doesn't make you notable.

(This, even though about 9/10 of the hits are to press releases, which abound in G news -- Europe Intelligence Wire is a RS only to in the sense that it reprints them reliably, just like its US counterparts. Many of the others are simply interviews with the principals of the firm, reliably sources for whatever they choose to say.

Julie MacDonald

[edit]

This person is only notable for one thing. The article is also a coatrack to talk about Bush's science and environmental policies. The whole thing also seems like an attack on an individual, in violation of WP policies. Northwestgnome (talk) 02:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Massive coverage - this is not a crime victim, she is notable for her actions. Coverage seems referenced and ok in BLP terms.

Keep Julie MacDonald is notable for her previous work and the federal investigation that found her responsible for wrongdoing. She is a former high-level Department of the Interior official. Even though she stepped down over a year ago, she is still in the news because of her work with the DOI. The article is well-sourced, reliably, and is about MacDonald's tenure at the DOI, not Bush's environmental policies, as Northwestgnome would imply. Additionally, all kinds of Criminals have WP bios.Athene cunicularia (talk) 04:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Material is well-cited from reliable sources that are specific and in-depth about her. The news reports span several years, so she (or at least her actions and their results) are not only "15 minutes of fame", but continue to have an effect. Note: I declined a ((db-attack)) on this page (see Talk:Julie MacDonald for a brief comment by nom and my response). The article could use some work: a bit more bio, what (if anything of note) she accomplished before the controversial activities or since then. As it stands, it does feel at first glance to be very negative, but WP is a teriary source--the solution is to add other material to avoid WP:UNDUE if that's the concern, not to delete what we have. I spot-checked the things that look (again, at first glance) to be COATRACK, and their cited sources actually do specifically mention her and her actions. So it passes WP:V and is on-topic, and actually helps support her having substantial and lasting notability. DMacks (talk) 04:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sophia Jansson-Zambra

[edit]

Speedy for "not notable" got declined, although both editors agreed it was a borderline case. Suggestion was to take it here, so here it is.
Delete - My reasoning: I don't think WP:BIO is met at all. Sophia Jansson's father and uncle are fairly notable, and indeed most of the article and refs are actually about them. Sophia gets two sentences. Basically she appears to be just another office manager, working in her father's company. I don't see how that makes her notable. With all due respect, of course. ~~SIS~~ 22:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to keep. The current version[33] is a huge improvement compared to the one I tagged for deletion[34] four days ago. I think notability is now shown and well sourced. I suggest to close this discussion and keep the article. ~~SIS~~ 22:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Her father and aunt are both dead leaving her as the "heir" to the popular Moomin merchandising created by her aunt. She has contributed work with her father (prior to his death) to oversight of some of the most recent projects related to this series and she now provides the sole oversight for several projects related to the series. As a member of the Jansson line, she is afforded a legitimacy in her projects which is lacking for others (like the Augsburger Puppenkiste group, Masaaki Osumi, Rintaro, and a number of other typically Japanese "office managers") who have created "non-canon" products. In this way she can be compared to Roger S. Baum, the grandson of the creator of the Wizard of Oz. -Thibbs (talk) 13:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC) (article creator) Thibbs (talk) 14:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)(sl. clarif.)[reply]

Note - It is quite inaccurate to suggest that only 2 of the 10 sentences in the stub discuss Jansson-Zambra. In point of actual fact, Jansson-Zambra is explicitly discussed in 7 of the 10 sentences and is implicitly referenced in 1 more. Only 2 sentences are given her aunt and 3 sentences discuss her father. Both her father and aunt are only discussed in connection to their relation to Jansson-Zambra. -Thibbs (talk) 13:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC) Thibbs (talk) 14:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)(sl. clarif.)[reply]

I still don't see how that satisfies WP:BIO (or WP:NOTINHERITED), sorry. She's mentioned in the Moomin article already, and I'd say that's sufficient. All my searches turn up not much more than that she's a manager at Moomin. ~~SIS~~ 12:05, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, it appears that you are unfamiliar with the series in question here. Evidence points to the fact that your review of the stub was little more than a cursory formality and that this is simply part of the well-intentioned but poorly executed campaign of a self-proclaimed deletionista. I agree that deletionism is a valid viewpoint and that there are certain concrete benefits deletionists (and deletionistas) provide to wiki as a project, but in maintaining a position of deletion based solely on personal first impressions and sticking to it in particular instances contrary to the views of one's peers (see [35] and [36]) strikes me as taking things too personally. Wikipedia is a community and one's pride is never at stake. Sticking strictly to the matter at hand, it is helpful here to review the repeatedly referenced WP:BIO.

According to WP:BIO:

Basic criteria - Y - There is a presumption of notability in cases where "[the person in question] has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." Here Jansson-Zambra is the subject of a number of reliable independent sources (I believe this is the reason the speedy-delete was twice refuted).
Additional criteria - YYYYY - "A person is generally 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."
"The person has received a notable award or honor" - Y - Here Jansson-Zambra has been asked to speak at numerous events including invitations from the Finnish consulate in Washington. There is at least an argument that this is something of an honor.

"The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" - Y - Here Jansson-Zambra provides supervision and oversight for the comics made after the Moomin series and maintains artistic control over the output related to the greater Moomin series (including print, film, and graphic media). She is widely cited in relation to the product line (See below).

"The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors." - Y - I already have provided 6 reputable cites. See the following additional examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Although arguably not a peer, her aunt also gives her mention in her novel, Rent Spel, and she is the hero of the book Sommarboken by implicit reference. As discussed in the rationale for invalidation of the proposed speedy-delete, the high caliber of many of these citations is above question.

"The person has played a major role in co-creating, a collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" - Y - As artistic director in charge of oversight she contributes to the development of the greater Moomin series. This series is widely popular in many (33+) countries (See ref). An incomplete list of scholarly works on the series can be found at the fi.wikipedia article.

"The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention." - Y - (a) Jansson-Zambra's work relates to the Moomin series and as the main author of the series has died Jansson-Zambra's work may be considered either peri- or deutero- rather than proto-canonical. This is significantly monumental in nature. (b) She has taken part in the 31st "Dreams & Visions" Annual Children's Literature Conference and will take part in Helsinki Design Week 2008 in a week or so. She has also been a major part of at least one documentary on her aunt ([37]). (c) evidence of critical attention may be found throughout the sources on the page and those provided here.

To address your concerns that your personal research has not yielded any substantial results, please note that (1) her maiden name, "Sophia Jansson," is more commonly used, and (2) the last name is spelled with one "n" and two "s"'s. (Note: I say this not to be patronizing but because this is a common misspelling for non-Scandinavian people). My personal research yields some 1,270 Google hits.

←You seem to assume I'm trying to delete for the sake of it. I'm not. I brought this here out of genuine concern. Since you feel the need to throw WP:BATTLEGROUND and WP:EGO at me, can I just say WP:AGF in return? As far as your link to my page goes, would you mind linking to the current version and not to a version that was already outdated (by 14 revisions) when you wrote your reply? I'm sure the older one suits you better, but unfortunately it only tells half the story. The same goes for the links to "my peers". They both suggested taking it here. They did. If you quote, quote properly and fairly, please. Thanks.

That would help a lot. ~~SIS~~ 21:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In good faith I believe that you've spotted a short stub and have made the hasty decision that it should be deleted as some form of WP:SPAM. I applaud your efforts to keep advertisements off Wikipedia. As I said before, deletionism as a policy has a place in maintaining good order (if not essential to maintain the respectability of the whole project). That said, it is patently clear that your review of the stub and the issues surrounding it was done in a sloppy manner and I submit that the intention of removing the article as fast as possible is apparent among other things from your repeated speedy delete nominations. To give the briefest possible of dirty laundry lists by way of explaining myself:

You stated that "Sophia Jansson's father and uncle are fairly notable, and ... most of the article and refs are actually about them." In fact Jansson-Zambra's uncle was never mentioned in the stub although her aunt was. This is clear from the language of the stub.
You stated that "Sophia gets two sentences." In fact (as I previously suggested) Jansson-Zambra is discussed in 7 of the 10 sentences and implicitly referenced in 1 more. The remaining 2 sentences lead directly and significantly to further discussion of Jansson-Zambra.
You stated that "she's a manager at Moomin." In fact Moomin is the name of the series (or character to be most precise) and not the name of the various companies she provides oversight for or the permission for whose artistic creations she has granted.

I realize you might not have much time to evaluate in detail each of the many stubs you delete, but surely you would agree that it is a tactical mistake to allow the creator of the article such a clear insight into your haste. Anyway I'm glad you're not simply trying to delete the article for the sake of it. I must admit some confusion as to your continued interest in it post nomination but if I've assumed bad faith then I apologize. For all I know your concerted efforts may simply be designed to highlight the need for expansion of the stub or to gain consensus for its existence that may be referenced in later matters. Whatever the case, as far as I can see so far there have been no objections to the stub except from you whereas two peers (I'm not sure why you would have placed quotes around them... they are peers are they not?) have been instrumental in blocking deletion, I have found an editor who appears to give implicit approval of the article (Note: I have moved this to the bottom and outdented it again as a pseudo-3rd party view), and of course I am in favor of keeping it. The AfD has been placed on the Business, Finland, and Comic AfD lists and has thus far escaped any calls for deletion. It might be worth considering placing it on the Sweden AfD list as well since the relevant series is Swedish-Finnish and may in fact be more popular in Sweden. I recognize that both peer editors who blocked the speedy delete also suggested AfD but considering their attention was only drawn to the article as a result of your speedy delete nomination I'd say the presumption of deletability was pretty strongly in your favor at the time and their blocking a speedy delete speaks louder than their suggestion of a compromise AfD.

Finally, as far as your suggestion that I have selectively misconstrued your userpage, I can assure you that you've completely missed my point. The diff I provided as a link to your page contained the line to which I had referred just prior. Specifically the diff I linked was the edit in which you added the line that currently adorns your current userpage: "The trophies of a deletionista. (Hey, other people put moose heads on their walls.)" I may have offended you by suggesting that ego shouldn't play a part in AfDs, but your accusations that I had violated WP:AGF coupled with your lack of good faith concerning my references to your page and your suggestions that an older version suited my purposes better seem to constitute a POINT edit.

To answer your topical complaints that 3rd party references should be added I will gladly comply. As it stands the 10 sentences that make up the stub are already referenced by 7 strong 3rd party citations (one is used twice for a total of 8 citations), but if it will support the validity of the article in your eyes then I will add them all. There is, in fact, more substantive information to be added as well and I will try to add all of this tomorrow. The reason I had held back was to allow an un-tampered-with version for public scrutiny but you are correct that my case could only be enhanced by greater citation and a filling-out of the body of the stub. I will address this as soon as I can and hopefully I can convince you of the merits of the article. -Thibbs (talk) 23:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your continious comments about my other WP contributions and my userpage are becoming a little tiresome, to be honest. I fail to see how they contribute to establishing Jansson's notability. Don't shoot the messenger and let's stick to the subject, please. If you want to discuss my work, please do so on my Talk page. Thanks. ~~SIS~~ 10:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming good faith and I hope you are as well. Consider it from my perspective: The whole thing seemed to come on much more strongly than I am used to considering the stub had only been up for a few days, was reliably cited, and appeared to have been gone over hastily with a pre-conclusion of "delete." I think we can both clearly see where we're coming from now and I agree to return strictly to the subject. -Thibbs (talk) 12:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another minor point, I think it is safe to say that there is an implicit keep from this editor who had originally redlinked "Sophia Jansson" (the maiden name) in this edit. It should be noted that this editor has a clean log. -Thibbs (talk) 17:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your arguments, but now you're stretching it a bit. A red link is an implicit keep? Let's wait until that IP comes here and gives an opinion, shall we? ~~SIS~~ 10:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's that much of a stretch. What does it mean to you when a person redlinks? To me it means that either they expect there to be an article on the topic (implying a meeting of WP:NOTABILITY requirements) or that they wish there to be an article on the topic (implying a sense of notability). -Thibbs (talk) 12:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- fails WP:BIO, as per nominator. Change to Weak keep. None of the sources used in the article treat her as the main subject; she is only mentioned in passing. Also: the article itself reads like a self-promotional CV, with several typical (unsourced) phrases often found in such documents, such as "provided direct oversight together with her father for the 1990 Moomin animated series", "became an active help in management", "represented Finnish children's literature during an engaging lecture and presentation".) Afv2006 (talk) 08:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asked user to reconsider. -Thibbs (talk) 20:30, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still feel that her notability is extremely marginal and that info on her would be more appropriate as a section included in the article about the trademark or about her better-known relatives, but in light of the effort extended to establish notability, I'll withdraw my "delete" - in anticipation of better sourcing. Hopefully, she has at least one article where she is the subject, not mentioned solely as "the niece" in an article about her aunt? Also: Blogs and message boards (such as the Yahoo groups) have no place among the references - the many substandard sources now inserted (including a comic shop advertisement and posts/blog entries from http://rubycafe.s32.xrea.com/blog/cat21/ , http://groups.yahoo.com/group/moominvalley/message/1556 , http://katewombat.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html) look really desperate and urgently need to be replaced with reliable sources appropriate for use in biographies of living persons). But the article has more substance and since a few of the sources used indicate that she will be/has been represented at different Scandinavian events, it can't be ruled out that she might soon be well-known enough that people might actually want to search WP for info on her.

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

I AfD'ed this back in '07 because I couldn't find any sources. The page was later recreated in a nonsensical form, which I rewrote after a hastily withdrawn second afd. At the time, I found only one major source (a now-deleted news article that gave a lot of info on the mall). That source was strong enough for me to give this the benefit of the doubt at first. Well, now, there's no substantial coverage to be found anywhere, so I say it's time to delete it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I found a mirror of the Lansing State Journal article at Archive.org and added it as a reference. See http://web.archive.org/web/20040813174541/http://www.lsj.com/news/local/040717_brighton_mall_3b.html A print-only reference is a perfectly valid one.

Keep per articles added by Eastmain. the Detroit News and Lansing State Journal articles are beyond the scope of "trivial" and are reliable sources. And Ten Pound Hammer, just because a url of a substantial source is no longer working doesn't mean that source doesn't exist any more.

Merge The usual outcome in articles about middle schools and elementary schools (if the subjects aren't shown to be notable for something other than being a school) is that they are merged to an article about the school district. In this case, I note that there is not an article for Leon County Public Schools, which is the district that Montford is in.

  - I do not believe that detailing the performances of a certain country's clubs in Asian competitions is that beneficial. We don't even have this sort of article for European countries. Then you get countries like Israel, Kazakhstan and Australia, who have changed confederations. How do we deal with those? Then there's the question of how much is too much. Should this article be split into History of Iranian football clubs in the AFC Champions League, History of Iranian football clubs in the AFC Cup, etc.? And then there's the point that the article's title doesn't even use good grammar. Perhaps my endorsement of the WP:INDISCRIMINATE reason was incorrect, but the reasons I have provided above surely aren't. – Pee Jay 14:22, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I believe the relevant part of WP:INDISCRIMINATE that Number 57 is referring to here is "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader." That certainly describes this page. If we were to produce a page called History of English football clubs in European Tournaments, it'd probably take all day to read it! As the page in question stands, it really is far too long and specific to be on Wikipedia. Any pertinent information (such as any tournament successes) should be included into a broader History of football in Iran, or something to that effect. Obviously a lot of work has gone into this page - perhaps the page's creator should set up a specialist Wiki dedicated to Iranian football where this kind of info would be much better suited? Bettia (rawr CRUSH!) 08:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I find nothing Indiscriminate about this article and indeed its just the kind of interesting and clearly for some helpful encyclopedic article that makes WP an outstanding encyclopedic research tool. I also detect a bit of the WP:IDONTLIKEIT#I_don.27t_like_it syndrome has creeped into this debate--Mike Cline (talk) 10:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Mike Cline, this is "I don't like". Number 57 is the one who put the deletion template on the article and wants to delete this page. there is another poll about deletion of this article dated 14 September 2008 and the result was keep. another admin should vote here. Amirreza (talk) 12:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Aside from the fact that this is another canvassed vote and should therefore be discounted, this is not WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I've made it quite clear that not only des this list fails to serve any useful purpose because the information is already present elsewhere, but its unwieldy size makes it problematic for internet browsers. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 12:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I believe that If anyone wants to know about Iranian football clubs performance in Asia, this article includes useful information. It's just like List of Iranian footballers in European clubs that shows useful information about Iranian football. It may be written bad or reverses some guidelines but I think we should keep this information here or somewhere else. anyway IMO we should keep this information. now if there is a move to another article, lets move it. but I say no to deletion. Amirreza (talk) 11:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

about canvassed vote: I saw Number 57's undo on my talkpage we are a team working on Iranian football and creating such an article is a groupwork so there is not any canvassed vote. we are symphonic. He just predicated us. Amirreza (talk) 11:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this article doesn't appear to be at all useful. The information would be much more meaningful in articles for the individual teams and competitions and left as it is would set a worrying precedent for similar articles on European football. Something along the lines of History of Spanish clubs in European Tournaments would be horrendous. I don't see how List of Iranian footballers in European clubs is warranted either.

Transwiki somewhere. It is a little too much detail for Wikipedia, but it is useful and should be preserved, however, I'm not sure a wiki for this topic has been set up.

Strong Delete - Article fails WP:N. Editor who created the article has multiple warnings on his talk page for removing speedy tags. After a speedy tag was replaced, the editor blanked the article - which is enough to re-speedy under the {db-g7} template. The user's persistent efforts to remove the template were reverted several time by user:Jonathan - see history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scott_Slutzker&action=history

Eventually, he copied and pasted his user-talk warnings diff into the article. I doubt that we can take this article seriously --Superflewis (talk) 02:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The creator not understanding that he was not to remove the CSD tag has nothing to do with the subject meeting notability. As a matter of fact, the article asserted notability while it was tagged for CSD. And as the subject clearly does meet notability requirements, it's just as well that the discussion came here. Perhaps we would do well to remember that none of us came to the project knowing all the polices and guidelines. Perhaps we would do well to look before we tag, and to avoid biting new editors by hammering at them for not knowing/following the rules when we tag articles for speedy deletion that assert notability.

Raven (book)

[edit]

This book, upon research, does not appear notable, even though it's about a notable subject. The article, recently created, appears to talk more about the event of the Jonestown massacre than it does the book. I can't find any independent sources that assert definitively that this work of non-fiction is notable (again, the event is notable, without question, but is this recounting of the "story" notable? I think not).The article includes three "sources" that equate to quotes from the author of said book, plus 2 sources about the event, not the book. Keeper ǀ 76 01:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn based on User:Cirt's work. Slinking away slowly :-) Keeper ǀ 76 14:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Easily satisfies WP:NOTE. The article at present unfortunately does not contain a reception section, but the book has most certainly received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, per WP:NOTE. I was quite quickly able to find reviews and significant discussion in WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources including: CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, The New York Times Book Review, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Review of Books, Library Journal, Psychology Today, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, and National Review, among many others. I will work on expanding this article and perhaps getting it up to WP:GA status, but I probably won't be able to get to it for a few days. Cirt (talk) 01:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cirt for bluelinking the Wikipedia articles for different periodicals. That's only halfway to helpful. Do you have diffs that show these reviews? I'll happily retract this nomination, I wasn't able to find any. Keeper ǀ 76 01:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Along with the above, the book has also been cited repeatedly in newspaper articles. This this San Francisco Chronicle article is typical:
The turning point in Jones' drive for power came in 1975, according to Tim Reiterman's and John Jacobs' exhaustive study, "Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and his People."
As well, it's author, journalist Tim Reiterman, is one of the few survivors of the tragedy at Jonestown. He has, in fact, been interviewed about that experience, including a citation of his book, in numerous Television specials and documentaries, including most recently PBS.Mosedschurte (talk) 01:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt that Reiterman is notable, or the events at Jonestown, by any means. This book that is about the event though. Has it, specifically, been reviewed? Found to be notable? I'm willing to be convinced, but I'm seriously not convinced yet. Reiterman survived Jonestown. Hurray! Jonestown massacre happened. Boo. What makes "raven" notable? Keeper ǀ 76 01:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is cited by essentially every other major source about Jonestown. It's the most comprehensive book on the subject.

Other books on Jonestown state this explicitly, such as Salvation and Suicide:

The best comprehensive history on Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, Tim Reiterman and John Jacob's Raven . . .

Keep. But clean up POV. An entry about a book shouldn't soapbox nor reference itself per reliable sources. -- Banjeboi 01:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the POV is removed, what's left? Has this book been independently reviewed? Has it "charted" in any recognizable charts? Is it "prominent" within its (narrow) field? I don't see what you mean by "remove POV". What's left? The whole article is POV. Keeper ǀ 76 01:57, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it has been independently reviewed, see this AfD's talk page. It is prominent within its field of the study of Peoples Temple. It is heavily cited in other works. I will work to remove any of the perceived POV as well as dependence on the book itself, and rewrite the article relying heavily on the independent coverage in secondary sources. Cirt (talk) 02:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That was my fault. I started the article and cited Reiterman's own description of his survival in the book figuring that that was the best source for that brief statement. It has obviously been discussed in many other sources, so I have fixed that by citing two. The only "Raven" cite left is the one to its own footnotes and sources.Mosedschurte (talk) 02:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Bad dict. def. Equendil Talk 08:27, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I have no idea if this is a notable term or not, but it is not a dicdef. The way I read this article, realization is a technical term for a specific process—consisting of three steps—that is used in design. If this is a notable term, there would be ample room to elaborate around the three steps, and further, how the three steps would integrate with each other, including comparisons of the 2D and 3D methods. If it is a notable term, it belongs on Wikipedia and not on Wiktionary. Sources would be nice to establish notability. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not a technical term, it's just a word meaning "making real" that could be used in any context where a project involves making a product (and probably where management/marketing has devolved into using words such as "paradigm" and "empower" as often as possible). There is no deep meaning behind this. I am removing the transwiki tag by the way, wiktionary doesn't need bad entries. Equendil Talk 22:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Atherton

[edit]

nn bio John MacReen (talk) 11:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete could not find anything on Factiva about this particular Paul Atherton, and without newspaper coverage I think this article will be impossible to source.--Commander Keane (talk) 11:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Through my searches I discovered that Paul Atherton is running a campaign to raise funds for the National Centre for Domestic Violence by releasing his docudrama Silent Voices on DVD with all profits going to the charity - so I hope this deletion request is just coincidence.

This entry has been posted on Wiki for nearly 4 months with no issues. When The Ballet of Change was first drawn to my attention in November 2007 the online coverage was significant, it was mentioned on national radio sites, the online streaming of BBC news etc. which is why I believe it wasn’t marked for deletion in the first place and as the notes suggest in Notability is not Temporary “If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic”.

However, over the course of time, much of that live news has now been removed from the sites and much of the printed news is of course, not on line.

The claim is that Paul Atherton was the first person in the world to be granted permission to use the Coca-Cola Billboard’s advertising hoarding to show a film on a world famous landmark.

I believe that cannot be in contest.

A quick search through Google using the term “Ballet of Change” brings the results of a variety of confirmation sources not least the sites owner (i.e. the Landlords of the Billboards) Land Securities on their Piccadilly Circus Lights Website Piccadilly Lights The British Film Archive at the British Film Institute where due to the notability of the film it has been secured in perpetuity at The BFI the acronym of NFA (stands for National Film Archive), The British Film Councils website Britfilms and in the listings magazine publication TimeOut, the industry standard magazine for the Broadcast Industry in the UK Broadcast and as it was Heritage Lottery Funded the funds can be proved to have been made from the source on the HLF website.

As such I would request the NfD to be removed.

I am the author of this article Amanda Paul (talk) 15:35 16 September 2008 (GMT)

(I have indented your comment, I hope you do not mind) Upon a second look on Factiva I found an article that mentions Paul Atherton: "Charities refuse proceeds of DVD", Hannah Jordan, 17 September 2008, Third Sector. I am not familiar with that source, but it could be reliable.

Anyhow, the problem we face is: do reliable third-party sources exist to allow us to write a Wikipedia article? I don't think press releases count as reliable sources and the "Silent Voices" link above appears to be a press release (I am happy to be corrected on this point). If the press covered the press release (and Factiva will give a good indication, covering many news publications, including printed news that is no longer online) then we would have reliable third party sources, but we do not currently.

One question to illustrate the problem, which reliable source exists stating that Paul Atherton attended Cardiff Business School? If we can't find a source then that should be removed immediately per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. This is also the case with the Coca-Cola information, please provide reliable sources.

P.S. I just realised that the reason I didn't find the Third Sector article last time is that the source is brand new! If there is coverage in reliable sources in the future then there is the possibility that an article is fine for Wikipedia.--Commander Keane (talk) 12:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Commander Keene I appreciate your corrections. I am new to Wikipedia and have not had to defend my articles before - so your patience, understanding and corrections are much appreciated.

Many of my sources for both my articles this and the "Ballet of Change" will never have been or are no longer online - but I will happily provided them if you believe this helps.

The issue here though, must be, first and foremost, do the Wikipedians think the first person to have his film shown on a globally famous landmark (i.e. The Coca-Billboard in Piccadilly Circus, London) notable? If the answer to that question is No, then there is little point pursuing my lines of inquiry. In my opinion Paul Atherton's notability comes from his success at achieving a first - if The Ballet of Change is considered notable then by definition so does its creator and vice-versa.

Are we measuring notability merely by online press coverage at any given time?

For example, you asked where I sourced some of my references - Paul's University career was found in his Alumni magazine from Cardiff University and also referenced in the South Wales Echo (The National News paper for Wales) in 1996, which of course you wouldn't be able to source online.

HIs work career, such as his time at Prospect Television (at least in part) can be verified by an online presence Skillset arrange a "Lucky Break' at Production Show in 2002. However the remaining part of his career, Touch of Silk for instance was again referenced from the South Wales Echo South Wales Echo "Local business man rescues Revlon President" Pg 7 November 1994 , The Sun Newspaper "Charles props up Naughty Knickers" Pg 7 December 26 1994, The News of the World, News In Brief Pg 3 "Brief Encounters" November 23 1994 , BBC Radio Wales, News Article Broadcast October 16th 1994 at 11:00am, Vogue Magazine, Diary Editor Clarissa Brooke Turner "A Touch of Silk - Something to remember " April 1995 to name but a few, but back in 1994 none of these publications had an online presence and they don't make their back copies available through online search engines but does this make them any less notable or reliable.

These references can all be checked publicly (as I've done) they just require an investment of time and Money.

His PR career can be tracked through the trade publications of PR Week. Articles like "Capital Gold - A Case Study" Pages 16-17,5 May 1998, "Harvard appoints new Account Manager" Pg 5, 9 February 1999 and "The Telegraphs' Match of the Day" Pg 28 4 April 2000.

This brings us up to date. I notice Vasile states that this is not IMDb. However, IMDb's entries are rigorously researched by independent researchers and only allowed to be published when every fact has been checked (unlike Wikipedia). Is this not a reliable source under Wikipeadia's definition?

As for Silent Voices this is available on Amazon and as you rightly pointed out in the Charities Trade Publication Third Sector so I think enough reliable sources for that.

But back to the Ballet of Change, here are some of the references to the articles published at the time BBC News (closed the programme) – Friday 23rd November 2007 18:55 – 19:00, Evening Standard, Pg 2 "Piccadilly Lights up its own History" 23rd November 2007, London Lite Pg2 "Films beamed onto Piccadilly Circus Ads" 23rd November 2007, Time Out – 20th November 2007 Press Association "Historic Film Event" 20th November 2007, London Paper "Lighting up History" 21st November 2007, LBC – Announcements throughout the day and mentioned numerous times by Nick Ferrari 23rd November 2007, Capital Radio (covered by Johnny Vaughan on his morning show) Thursday 22nd November 2007 08:30 – 09:00, Colourful Radio – Arts - (30 Minute interview) Thursday 22nd November 2007 between 14:!5 – 14:45 and again I reiterate these can all be checked but most can no longer be found online.

I have the cuttings for al these articles in PDF formats if you want them, but you cannot find them online. Either they were time limited such as the radio shows or the news story never made it from print to online in the case of The Evening Standard.

This is the link to the BBC news site which aired the event "The Ballet of Change" but is no longer current - instead it is showing this weeks news - as it changes every week.

Thank you for putting this up in the United Kingdom related articles. I hope some wikipedians from the UK will be able to assist me in my quest.

I would also like to clarify that the press release on Land Securities website, is on their website and other than recording the event and naming Paul Atherton it has nothing to do with him. This proves that the owners of the Coca-Cola billboard not only acknowledge that the event happened but also that it was the first time a film had been shown there. Why is it a Press Release published by a globally famous company about a third party would not be established as a reliable source?

And finally, could someone please explain why The BFI (The British Film Institute), which caries the largest film collection in the world and as such is incredibly selective in what it accepts as contributions, wouldn't be acknowledged as a reliable source?

Again, I'd request the removal of the NfD.

Comment Amanda Paul I have sent you an email it would be great if you can email me a couple of reliable sources discussing Paul Atherton. I can not respond to your entire comment above, but on a couple of points... I was able to find in the Evening Standard "Piccadilly Lights up its own History", but there is no mention of Paul Atherton. Reliable sources that are not online are still entirely reliable. About the "Wikipedia is not IMDB" comment, I think the point is that even if a film is carried by IMDB, or the BFI, it does not mean that the producer will have enough reliable sources to create a Wikipedia article.--Commander Keane (talk) 03:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment::Apologies as I stated in my previous post I am new to this - I have discovered from a user that I had voted twice it was not intentional - I'd be grateful if you could correct anything I have done wrong. But I believe I've corrected it appropriately now.

No-one has yet addressed the question in regards to the British National Film Archive especially in respect to the notability guidelines in general notability .4 and also in terms of it being the first film to be shown on an advertising billboard (an accomplishment made even more significant by the fact that Coca-Cola gave up prime advertising time for it to be screened) in respect to other evidence of notability .5. As its is the nature of the films achievement and not the content of the film - many of the criteria normally associated with a film are difficult to apply. For instance as previously mentioned it did not and should not be expected to get a general release. The style of the film would not make it suitable for festivals or awards and would by definition never be reviewed (just taking into account of the size of the screen it was edited and broadcast on - it would make this an impossibility for a normal release it neither being 16:9 or 4:3 Formats).

DGG I refer you back to my previous post to VG in respect to reviews.

Commander Keane has requested the pdf cuttings I have referred to above by e-mail, which will be sent in due course. If he could confirm he's received them on Wikipedia I'd be very grateful and could you also please tell me where you were able to source the Evening Standard Article - Thanks.

It would be incredibly useful as part of this debate if Wikipedians would address the questions I have raised.

Are there any Wikipedians in the UK who could back me up - which leads onto another point. When we talk about Notability is it Global or Nationwide?

As previously stated in this discussion I believe this and The Ballet of Change: Piccadilly Circus's AfD entry are intrinsically linked. Is there anyway of merging the two discussions.

Thanks

Comment I sourced the Evening Standard using Factiva (subscription based) I can email the article to anyone who wants it, although it is rather short and does not mention the names of the films displayed. I do not trust what is said on Notability pages, at the end of the day all Wikipedia content must be able to be verified from reliable sources and notability is a result of this. Any notability guideline comes second to verifiability.--Commander Keane (talk) 11:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commander Keane can you please confirm that you have received my email - I had trouble sending it (File size 6MB).

In addition this may help with verifiability.

Comment An extract from the British Film Archive Collecting Policy to be found as a Download

4.2 Cultural significance

25. The overriding criterion for acceptance into the national collection of moving image material for the United Kingdom is that the work should be of cultural and/or historical importance to the British people, recognising the diversity of British communities.

26. Because this is the national collection of moving image material in the UK, acquisition of British-produced and British-related material will be prioritised over non-British material, especially for the preservation collection. However, much non-British material is also of cultural importance and some non-British material may be highly relevant to particular cross-cultural audiences for the reference collection.

27. The bfi does not aim to hold a comprehensive collection, even for British- produced material. It aims to collect works that have or had real cultural impact, or historical significance, or that are highly representative of production, society or cultural values, or which are valuable for educational purposes or as information resources for study. Examples include: - High quality productions, where the production values and treatment are of a high artistic merit or information content.

And of course we are not talking any advertising billboard - we are talking about one of the world's most famous billboards in one of the worlds most noted landmark. If this isn't regarded as a unique achievement then I think the scope of WP:MOVIE#cite_note-5 needs to be revised.

I believe there is talk of doing it at Time Square, New York, next year.

Weak Keep. Sources seem to exist and newby editor making good faith effort to address concerns. Clean-up and help them through sourcing offline material, and yes, press releases can be used as sources although independent coverage is preferred. Amanda Paul, you need to become familiar with Wikipedia:Citation templates, the links on the article, in many cases, should be coverted to a citation to support the content. -- Banjeboi 08:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have received a few pdfs from Amanda Paul and they tend briefly mention Paul Atherton in the context of the film The Ballet of Change so I tend to agree with a merger/redirect of Paul Atherton to the film's article if it survives.

I think a lot of the references are to a different Paul Atherton, and the others mainly refer to the film. Delete and redirect to the film, if that is kept. Stifle (talk) 09:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Commander Keane I would be grateful if you could confirm that the Google search PDF. I sent you clearly showed that LBC covered the news story and that The Museum in Docklands, London, acknowledged the event and screened the films and neither can now be found on the Internet. Also that you have the London Lite article I cited above has also been received and again cannot be found on the internet.

It should also be pointed out that Paul Atherton has made numerous television appearances not least, Junipers Production of The Great British Black Invasion for the UK's Channel 4, which as a contributor (he is the caricature in the hat and the scarf, Top Row third from the left), looks at Paul's history in relation to his mixed race heritage. A clip from which can be found at YouTube.

What do I need to do, if anything, to prove the other not-online sources I cited above?

Stifle could you please explain what references you believe not to be associated to this Paul Atherton. If you are doing a Google search could I recommend that you use "Paul Atherton" "Simple TV".

It should also be noted that Paul was asked to make a reading contribution to an Oxford University charity project called Reading for Life that included a select contributions list including Clive James, Tom Stoppard and Michael Horovitz.

-- Banjeboi Thanks for the advice. I'll attempt to tidy up this article in the manner you suggest this weekend - if it still exists!

The Ballet of Change: Piccadilly Circus

[edit]

nn film John MacReen (talk) 11:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Through my searches I discovered that Paul Atherton is running a campaign to raise funds for the National Centre for Domestic Violence by releasing his docudrama Silent Voices on DVD with all profits going to the charity - so I hope this deletion request is just coincidence.

This entry has been posted on Wiki for nearly 4 months with no issues. When The Ballet of Change was first drawn to my attention in November 2007 the online coverage was significant, it was mentioned on national radio sites, the online streaming of BBC news etc. which is why I believe it wasn’t marked for deletion in the first place and as the notes suggest in Notability is not Temporary “If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic”. However, over the course of time, much of that live news has now been removed from the sites and much of the printed news is of course, not on line. The claim is that Paul Atherton was the first person in the world to be granted permission to use the Coca-Cola Billboard’s advertising hoarding to show a film on a world famous landmark. I believe that cannot be in contest. A quick search through Google using the term “Ballet of Change” brings the results of a variety of confirmation sources not least the sites owner (i.e. the Landlords of the Billboards) Land Securities on their Piccadilly Circus Lights Website Piccadilly Lights The British Film Archive at the British Film Institute where due to the notability of the film it has been secured in perpetuity at The BFI the acronym of NFA (stands for National Film Archive), The British Film Councils website Britfilms and in the listings magazine publication TimeOut, the industry standard magazine for the Broadcast Industry in the UK Broadcast and as it was Heritage Lottery Funded the funds can be proved to have been made from the source on the HLF website. As such I would request the NfD to be removed. I am the author of this article Amanda Paul (talk) 15:35 16 September 2008 (GMT)
