Part of a rash of quasi notable motivational speakers whose pages serve as little more than a vehicle to self promote and sell books, courses, etc. I have pruned all the uncited material, found a whole slew of other stuff that needs to be cited or should go, and have done the maths on the 100 million books in 47 langauges and 124 titles to discover that means each title has sold 17158 copies.

Comment I know of Andrea Shavonne Williams on a personal level, not only on her wide-spread level. We were very serious at one point, though I'm not trying to cash in on her notability or fame. I want that noted. I just wanted to add that this article is accurate. I for one can verify the information that the creator of this article has provided is true and accurate. However her Birthday is Nov 1st, the creator neglected to mention that in his description of her, or maybe he didn't know the exact date. I can also add some more personal information to this article if needed. She is a humanitarian, semi-vegan, and her signature scent is Wild Musk and has been since I first met her in 1994. She has many great loves in her life, and the one that I know to be her first and foremost beyond anything else is her youngest brother Lance. However, I will not compromise her private life. Just because I have the pleasure of knowing her on a personal level, I would want to make it CLEARLY understood I would never try to add my name into an article about her due to the fact I feel that if she found out she would feel I was trying to cash in on her so to speak. She is an amazing person, despite her fame, and I would like the world to know that. Some people lose their morals or forget their friends before they take off. She is not one of those persons.

Does not, I believe, meet our current notability standards. Here's why... The Register and the Freaknomics column on the NY Times, both easily WP:RS compliant for tech-related news--check. But--Look closer at the Ayres column used from the NY Times as a source: There's not much material there, and can be arguably called trivial coverage. Look again at the "Reuters" source, here--it's a press release FROM Swoopo. Not RS or of any value for our notability standards. Looking over the article's current other sources at the time of this AFD: Crunchgear doesn't appear to be RS. "Rupert's blog", written by an economics student, doesn't meet RS standards. Metafilter isn't RS (Boing Boing, it's nearest major counterpart, sure, since people source to it in the media, it has notable authors who are often "tech" and new media experts) but Metafilter? It's Slashdot Lite. Coding Horror? Not RS. The rest is all Swoopo-sourced. I think a delete could be in order based on the present sourcing. rootology (C)(T) 04:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please bear with my perhaps long explanation: I hope it's not confusing. In short: a stub article about a nonexistent place. To be sure, it has multiple references, but (first off) it does not appear in Google Maps, and searching the GNIS reveals a "No Data Found" message. Ultimately, the sources for its existence are in error one way or another. The article was created because it is listed as the location for the Blood Run Site, a National Historic Landmark: look here to see it listed as "Sioux Falls". This server, and the National Park Service database behind it, can sometimes make errors of this sort — for example, the Site No. JF00-062 in Doniphan County, Kansas is accidentally listed as being in "Rulo, Kansas" on this page [the community in which it lies is always the word after the last comma, so the database produces results that say that it's in Rulo, Kansas], due to the site being so close to Rulo, Nebraska. As far as sources on the article: this speaks of a tight curfew in the community, but unless it's a municipality, it can't have a police force, and I can't imagine the GNIS or this Census Bureau map missing a municipality altogether. Moreover, this reference places the Five Ridge Prairie in Sioux Falls, but this article shows that the Five Ridge Prairie is located in Plymouth County, Iowa, which lies well south of Lyon County, Iowa, the alleged location of Sioux Falls, Iowa. This is inconsistent with this, the article's last reference, which places another site near Sioux Falls, Iowa but in Lyon County — and these are from the same webpage. Overall, it appears that this is a confusion for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is very close to to Lyon County, Iowa — created in good faith, not as a hoax, but clearly a mistake.

It is frequently vandalized by IP editors, but without sources it is difficult to tell what is vandalism and what is not.

Lootah Group is a significant employer in the United Arab Emirates, and that Haji Saeed Ahmed al-Lootah was a real person, with his philanthropy noted in the Dubai pharmacy college and Dubai Medical College for Girls articles.

I've added a detailed review of the sources above. Essentially, most of the sources are self-published websites, many of which contain no information other than Toubin's name in a list of other people. At least one of the sources does not mention Toubin's name at all, but instead concern his parents. The documentary that he was quoted in received extremely limited viewing. Although I've not read the books nor seen the documentary, the descriptions of them make it seem that Toubin is simply quoted in them - there was no research into his life other than what he told them. He was also only one of a number of people interviewed for these endeavors, which implies that his individual recollections are not notable in and of themselves, only how they support the narrative the author is drawing from the broader memory base.

These sixfive articles are all about hamlets/neighborhoods of one small town in upstate New York: Wheatland, New York (pop. 5,149).
According to the articles themselves, they consist primarily of excerpts from the book History of the Town of Wheatland: Scottsville, Mumford, Garbutt, Belcoda, Beulah, Wheatland Center by Carl F Schmidt (1953, reprinted 2002). One article claims that this book is in the public domain (here) while the others say it is used with permission (here, for example). But either way, just the editor's say-so isn't sufficient.
Additionally, as the articles themselves say:
The search for interesting or relevant information about today's Belcoda has, of this writing, turned up nothing. The search continues.
[A]s of this writing, interesting or relevant information about today's Beulah has proved elusive. The search goes on.
All of the industry that made Garbutt commercially significant has gone. A local excavating contractor may be found on Union Street and a small retail antiques business on the main road, but no other businesses or employers remain. The US Census Bureau does not maintain demographic data for Garbutt.
The US Census Bureau does not maintain demographic data for Mumford.
The area on the west side of Wheatland Center Road and between North and Scottsville-Mumford Roads once held houses and businesses. Today, there is nothing there but scrub land on the eastern side of the former gravel pit. The author of this article recalls, as a youth, farming the large field on the east side of Wheatland Center Road where once stood some of the buildings and businesses described here. Nothing of them remains.
I think that if anything in these articles is found to be salvageable, those bits should be merged into Wheatland, New York. But they mostly appear to be a combination of copyvio and OR. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 00:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I unlisted Scottsville, as it's an incorporated village (I don't understand how you can have an incorporated village inside an incorporated town, but that's irrelevant). I've put an ((cleanup-afd)) on it, partly due to the copyright status, and partly because it's not WP format). Dori (Talk • Contribs) 23:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The books identified as being in the public domain were confirmed as such by the publisher who did the reprints. This company's assertion of PD suffices. "Used with permission" is simply an acknowledgment of the publisher's cooperation. If it was a poor choice of words, then it can be struck without harm. If you can find a valid copyright, then and only then can you make the charge that this content constitutes a copyright violation.
Before incorporating the books' content, I specifically enquired via "helpme" whether this is acceptable and was specifically told that it is.
There is, to my knowledge, no valid reason for claiming that specific articles about these locations cannot exist on their own. They are neither too brief nor devoid of factual, historical, and current information.
In writing the articles I have contributed, I have found numerous boilerplate pages which have the same cookie-cutter statistical information from the same sources, and these appear not to be proposed for deletion.
Your imputation that there may be nothing salvageable in these articles is offensive and unwarranted. If there is a problem with informality, then make a complaint as such. Better to be informal than to be dull and uninformative. --Coosbane (talk) 01:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that it appears that way to me as well. Although the artist is in the mix and has received newspaper publicity (article in the Boston Globe) and award(s), there is a question as to who wrote the article and the motivation for writing it. If it's the artist himself who wrote the article on himself, then there's a conundrum in Wikipedia ethical terms.
