Yama Umi Do[edit]

Article about a supposed martial art. However, the two references are the same and point to a website that does not mention Yama Umi Do. Possibly a hoax, definitely lacking any reliable sources.

Delete. I don't believe this is a hoax: Googling (sensei "mark wagner" martial) brings up several websites that mention this, often with the variant spelling "Yami Umi Do", which is mentioned in the article. However, it seems to fall well short of WP:GNG: the sources that I've found are mostly subpages of the Golden Dragon Dojo website, e.g. "Tsunami Truth", or subpages of ICMAUA, e.g. this one (do a string search for "wagner" to find references). Neither of these qualifies as a reliable independent source; note that the main ICMAUA page states that members of the organizations can "publish your MA [martial arts?] bio in 'Who is Who'...", with no suggestion of peer review. A Google search for ("imperial karate handbook" wagner) turns up exactly one hit: this WP article. There's a fairly clear notability failure here. Ammodramus (talk) 04:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do not Delete. 'Mark Wagner passed away in 2001. The author his trying to honor the style of Karate he created by describing and quoting from Sensei Wagner Directly. Perhaps Wikepedia is not the right location for this purpose? I no longer have a copy of his handbook but I am confident that students of his do. I do have photographs from both Dojo's which prove he had the studios however I realize that is not sufficient to support the Style of Karate I am addressing here. I would appreciate having enough time to adds some more research as all of this happened, including his death, before the internet or Google were as popular and useful as it is today. Mark Wagner was a student of Dr. Sachio Ashida (at Brockport, N.Y.), an Olympic Coach at the 1976 Games in Montreal, whom I have met in person. Here is a link to an article about him http://judo.teamusa.org/news/article/13725 and to State University of New york At Brockport. I am hoping to contact his daughter, who is a martial artist, to get more information on Yama Umi Do style. It is possible that in the smaller martial arts arenas this is the only place that this is an important style. HOWEVER, just because a style is developed and used in a small local and not on a World level, this does not make it any less valuable or unique.

I would be happy to change the word to a more neutral angle suggesting the style or similar. CourageandFaith (talk) 16:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)— CourageandFaith (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

I'm afraid that you're right: Wikipedia is not the right location for this purpose. A specific Wikipedia policy, to be found at WP:MEMORIAL, says that this is not a place to create memorials for deceased friends, acquaintances, etc. Nor is the importance of the subject a criterion for including or excluding it from Wikipedia: obviously, importance is subjective. The criterion in question is notability, which you'll find discussed at WP:GNG. To satisfy it, you'd need to find significant in-depth coverage of the subject by independent sources. A personal communication from a daughter, a book self-published by Wagner, the ICMAUA website (which apparently allows members to publish their biographies without any sort of fact-checking or review), and the Golden Dragon Dojo website wouldn't satisfy this criterion. To satisfy it, you'd need to find something like extensive coverage in a widely-circulated martial-arts magazine: and that's extensive coverage, not a brief paragraph or inclusion in a list. If you can't establish notability in that sense, then with no reflection on the importance or unimportance of the subject, it can't be included in Wikipedia. Ammodramus (talk) 17:56, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a WP:HOAX but Article clearly lacks both independent sources and fails WP:NOTE. FWIW the correct Japanese pronunciation for the name of this style should be Sankaido and not "Yama Umi Do" - not that it matters here. Editing language for WP:NPOV will not correct the lack of notability. Jun Kayama 20:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The references are not valid, not a notable subject.Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 04:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In reponse to Ammodramus: I was reffering to the daughter of Dr. Ashida who us world renowned and was Sensei Wagners First teacher and mentor for many years. Also I was not trying to memorialize Sensei Wagner I was trying to preserve the martial arts style, if it is rightfully its own style. I understand that the article should be deleted on this basis and will continue my research for support of that.

Thank you for your time and this experience. Interesting to note the referance to Sankaido. I will have to look into that. Who deleted the entry? CourageandFaith (talk) 06:21, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Article has not been deleted as of this Comment. Many martial arts styles founded by non-Japanese attempt to generate Japanese names or titles which do not conform to the rules of the language; "Yama Umi Do" is gibberish in Japanese. FWIW, in Japanese the title of Sensei comes after the name and not before if it is to conform to Japanese grammar. Also a number of historically significant styles (i.e. Meiji Restoration era) and teachers in Japan proper do not meet the WP:NOTE criterion for inclusion even in JP Wikipedia due simply to a lack of sufficient source material in print or online. Wikipedia should not be used to "preserve" the memory of a martial arts style. Any such attempt belongs in a well-respected trade publication. Jun Kayama 22:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People's Liberation Front (group)[edit]

Seems to be a non-notable online protest group the only references that are not to the groups facebook page or website make no mention of the group. I already speedy deleted it once and retagged it upon its recreation only for the tag to be replaced with an underconstruction tag based on this [1] promise of further refs, however I find it unlikely that any will be forthcoming, and still believe that this group meets csd:a7 Jac16888 ^Talk 18:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the de-speedier, I nevertheless agree, based on my own Google searches, that this group does not meant our notability requirements. The period of this AfD should give ample time for the article's defenders to find and add RS. And if they do, I'd reconsider. But I made a good faith effort to find them, and could not. ~~I also wonder if there isn't a lot of wishful thinking and invention here, and have tagged it as a possible hoax, too.~~ Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:10, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination affects the future of the article? No. The closer of the nomination determines that. Anarchangel (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've misunderstood me: I just meant that I'd placed an underconstruction tag to give the editor more time to add refs, but when the article was nominated for discussion, such a tag was unneeded, as the article cannot be speedied or PRODed during the AfD process, giving the editor sufficient time to try and improve article.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:27, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - Well, an RS from Cnet has been found and added, with a prominent mention of the group. I'm sorry I missed that and am more convinced that I did the right thing by de-speedying. I've removed the hoax tag and have struck through my delete !vote. Let's see how this develops.... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:20, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(ec)I'm sorry, prominent? The article is about a homeless bloke supposedly called "Commander X", the only mention of this group is in passing, "...was part of an online protest organized by the People's Liberation Front--also allegedly associated with Anonymous". That hardly makes them noteworthy. If anything these "reliable sources" are at best a suggestion that perhaps the "commander" could warrant an article, not the group--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your assertion that access to a cube is a prerequisite for notability is noted. Does having more houses make one more notable, though, and are we to require verification that Wikipedia subjects have houses? Anarchangel (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you about Chris Doyon: I've added a news ref from the Orlando Sentinel about a series of attacks in Florida. I think some form of article should be remain, but perhaps as a bio article for Doyon rather than this alleged "group." The extend of the attacks would indicate that Doyon has earned a place in Category:People associated with computer security (which includes hackers). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I see that the Orlando incident has already been documented at Food_Not_Bombs#2011_Florida_feeding_bans, with a mention to Doyon there, too. This "homeless hacktivist" is notable, I'm convinced. But the group, no... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I argue that the group is notable for OpCIA, OpSyria, and their involvement with Anonymous. The article on Doyon would also go quite unexplained without an article about his group.A Dirty Watermelon (talk) 18:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Is it certain that Doyon is not the sole member of the People's Liberation Front? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - quite certain, I joined their irc (irc.iranserv.com/#plf) <= use a client) to make sure. While not large, they are notable. A Dirty Watermelon (talk) 18:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Instead of IRC, you can check this. While many aren't active any more after the arrest of 'Commander X' the group DID have many members, and is worth keeping the article. A Dirty Watermelon (talk) 00:45, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I guess that's my point: despite all the chat forum wannabees, moral supporters and what have you, was Commander X/Christopher Doyon/Homeless Hactivist the only who actually did anything? If so, then the article should be about him, imo, with this article repurposed as a WP:Redirect to his bio article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hardly. When X was arrested, the group went into hiding until new leaders were found. And They have been. What else is a hacking group but a few big players and some skids? Also, many people DID participat in their blackfax/ddos ops.A Dirty Watermelon (talk) 04:52, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with fire and storm: You have got to be kidding me. Some Hacker Guy claims to run a "liberation group," and based almost entirely on self-referential bits off of his own website, that's supposed to sustain an article? This AfD has been up for two weeks now, and not only is that more than enough time to uncover multiple, reliable, independent sources discussing the subject in "significant detail", as the GNG enjoins us to do, an article cannot be sustained without them. Not only are we not required to keep an article indefinitely just because of the fuzzy premise that such sources must be out there, somewhere, anywhere, we're required to delete an article which lacks them, and I'm unimpressed by the creator's assertions, backed by nary a shred of genuine proof. It is not enough that the subject be mentioned in passing, as it is in the CNET article proffered as evidence of notability. The subject must be discussed in "significant detail," and it is not, there or in any other reliable source.
It's defensible that an article might be sustained for this Chris Doyon, though he comes off more as a pathetic self-promoter than anything else, but that's another debate, and isn't pertinent here. This fails WP:GNG and likely WP:BULLSHIT as well. Ravenswing 09:17, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Life of Graham Greene (Volume 2)[edit]

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

This does not seem to be a notable volume of a notable biography. First of all, it is completely unreferenced. Second, it is nothing but a table of contents. Third, it is one volume of a three-volume publication, and those are not individually notable unless they're part of the Waverley Novels. Now, it is entirely possible that The Life of Graham Greene is notable (see claim on Norman Sherry but that article does not exist, so it is not verifiably notable yet and we have nothing to merge this to. The same goes for Life of Graham Greene (Volume 3), which I will tag for AfD as well. Note re: possible merge: I don't see the point of that, given that these have no verified encyclopedic content, and as search terms they are useless, so no need for a redirect either.

Keep: It's a very important book supplying needed balance to a one-sided view of Joseph McCarthy. The book was reviewed in many publications, and was praised in a speech to the National Press Club (USA) last year. Also, lack of sources in the initial stub is not a reason to delete an article. At worst, the closing admin might require me to userfy it till it's more fleshed out.

I meant As with other types of articles, we do not delete an article because editors have not yet cited their sources, but only if there is no evidence that independent, reliable sources exist. per WP:NHS you linked.

Speedy keepI can't believe that this article has even been nominated for deletion. Did the nominator not read the article or look at at the external links that were provided? It is not just a single school but a whole school system "of 117 schools with a student population of over 1,26,665 and a teacher strength of over 7,130".

Rubber-stamp keep Not only is the school notable, as pointed out by several other users above, but the user also needs to learn a lot more about deletion criteria (this comes from a look at the mess that's been created at the Muhammad Iqbal article recently; a 9 year old article that was incorrectly tagged under WP:CSD#G12 and ridiculously speedy deleted).

Very strong keep. As stated in the article, the organisation provides a significant contribution to the country's education. The fact that it is currently weak on references is not alone a criteria for deletion - many sources for subjects in developing countries are not available online. Also, this school system will almost certainly have produced some highly notable alumni. The page will be prioritised by the school and Pakistan projects.

Comments on keep votes. Roscelese says keep due to WP:NHS, this is an essay. However this essay in a nutshell says, High schools/secondary schools are generally considered to be notable, but they must be able to meet the relevant guidelines for notability This school does not.

No doubt there are some statements made by individual !voters here that not all !voters agree with. I would focus on the fact that the article was misleadingly titled -- which I expect naturally misled you. Despite its title, the content of the article appears to be about the system, rather than about the lone school indicated.

Keep. Large, clearly notable school system. Obviously one that print sources could be found on in Pakistan itself if anyone looked. Articles should only be deleted if sources can't be found, not if they haven't yet been found. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:51, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not my understanding, actually. Are you suggesting that our policy is to retain articles where no sources have been found, on the basis that editors simply imagine that it is possible that they could be found? I think, actually, that our notability guidelines call for demonstration of the existence of such sources.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:51, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In actual fact, I think our guidelines call for common sense, something that seems to be sadly lacking amongst many of the newer, endlessly-guideline-quoting editors of Wikipedia. I cannot conceive of a situation where sources could not be found for a system of 117 schools! -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:02, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I, myself, !voted move -- so we are not disputing the continued existence of a stand-alone article; rather, we are in agreement on that (though for different reasons). At the same time, I think it a slippery slope that lacks consensus to suggest that we say an article meets our notability requirements because an editor cannot conceive that sources do not exist -- where the editor has not presented them.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, common sense! Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. We are (or should be) about building an encyclopaedia, not endlessly quoting sad little "rules" which aren't rules at each other. If editors concentrated on deleting the dross and left the reasonable subjects alone then Wikipedia would be a much better and less combative place. As it is, I am becoming convinced that many editors join Wikipedia purely to argue on AfDs and not to contribute. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sad little rules are created by sad little editors, who seek to streamline the AfD process by reaching consensus on what is in fact dross -- and what is not. What is dross, and what is a reasonable subject, may not in the eyes of others be what it is in my eyes or your eyes. With all due respect, I think that that is the crux of the problem that you have identified.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have said it many times and I say it again here: notability is subjective, despite the efforts of some to claim it isn't, specific to each and every subject of each and every article, despite the efforts of some to claim that their favourite "rule" should be applied across the board, and decided by discussion, despite the efforts of some to claim that "rules" should be applied with no flexibility whatsoever (the fall-back of the "GNG is heaven-ordained and no exceptions can be made" brigade). Wikipedia has no rules; if we did then AfDs would be unnecessary. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of music festivals in Italy[edit]

List contains an excessive amount of Red and external links which fails WP:NOT. A small handful of articles on notable festivals do exist, however it doesn't appear to be enough to support a stand alone list. Hu12 (talk) 16:45, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, perfectly reasonable list and meritless deletion nom contrary to WP:ATD. An "excessive amount of red and external links" is a matter for cleanup, not wholesale deletion. There was once a time when red links were seen as a to-do list, identifying possible missing article topics, not as something to stamp out. Not a good shift in Wikipedia culture, nor is it a good practice to nominate something for AFD, primarily on cleanup grounds, when there has been no effort to clean up through editing nor even a single talk page comment about the list's issues. I also disagree with the characterization that only "a small handful of articles" exist, as Category:Music festivals in Italy and its subcategories shows that number to be over 40. Even if that number were not "enough to support a stand alone list," then this would still be merged and/or redirected to List of music festivals#Italy. postdlf (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A single unsuccessful run for office might not confer notability; but Cole's made four (1996, 2002, 2004, 2008). He's received rather extensive coverage on North Carolina Libertarian websites (which probably wouldn't confer notability in and of itself, but which at least supports the presumption of notability) and on Libertarian-party websites elsewhere, which probably comes a little closer to independent coverage. He was profiled in a 2008 article in the Greensboro News-Record. A 2008 article in Politico spoke of him as a possible spoiler in a close Dole-Hagan Senate race. The combination of perennial candidacy, his apparent importance in the NC Libertarian Party, and his perceived effect on the Dole-Hagan contest, seem to create a reasonable presumption of notability.

Maloy Lozanes[edit]

Completing nomination on behalf of User:Malulay. Rationale as stated on the talk page follows. On the merits, I make no recommendation. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The original rationale from Talk:Maloy Lozanes (being this diff) reads thus: "Reason: copyright violations. Biography/Discography derived from maloy.biz. Year w/ Capt. Jack is incorrect. Couldn't change it (the reason why I had a debate with another User) because it's from a reliable source according to Wiki policies. But the official site is not reliable?Malulay (talk) 05:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)"[reply]

This "another User" gave source to the date of birth, because all the time you delete the date of birth. This source was placed only near the date of birth. This date of birth (1976) also confirmed by other sources, so the date is correct. "Year w/ Capt. Jack is incorrect"? If there is no objection from the other users, you can improve. However, dates of birth and it's sources do not delete. Subtropical-man (talk) 14:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rested the case about the year of birth since it's from a source that passed Wiki policies. I did keep changing the year with Captain Jack, too, according to a reliable, reference site. To 1999 instead of 1998 but User:Subtropical-man kept objecting & undoing what I edited. So, how can anybody "correct" that year if he keeps objecting to that, too? I originally created this page with all its contents, without much knowledge on how it's done here: signing posts, some policies & I didn't even know what a sock puppet is. But I already learned some of it in the meantime. But I was already reported for violations I'm not familiar with & User:Subtropical-man even "indirectly" called me stupid & accused me of hiding under IP addresses (Talk:Maloy_Lozanes). This debate was discussed/explained on this link, too, (User_talk:AdministratorMLML) & I have reported him in the meantime by e-mail for personal attacks & accusations. I requested for deletion since all the page's contents are from maloy.biz originally & because of another reliable site, the real year for Capt. Jack (which was on the official website of the artist) couldn't be edited. So, it's a copyright violation of the artist's website.Malulay (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a tic, let me make sure I'm reading this right. You're saying part of the article is copyrighted material from the artist's website? Can you remove that material from the article? Other editors seem to have added other material over the years, and the gaps could be expanded if the subject is notable. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 20:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at http://maloy.biz but can not find anything that was copied from that site. Can you tell us what page it was copied from? GB fan 21:00, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all that was written there is derived from maloy.biz. It was only modified by other users over the years (improved layouts, corrected grammar, spelling, punctuations, etc.). Some were added by me without logging in. If I removed the copyrighted bio & discography, then the page would be blank & I'd be reported as vandalizing again.

I found the almost word for word copy of the biography section of the article and have removed it. I don't think the discography section can be copyrighted because it is just the info that is publicly available (correct me if I am wrong}. GB fan 21:22, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid everything there is copyrighted.Malulay (talk) 21:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As to GB fan's question on the copyright issue, it is an important question as it applies to all discog sections in band/musician articles. Here is my understanding. WP guidelines point, in part, to US law in the copyright area. The U.S. Supreme Court clarified the issue of the application of copyright to fact in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 111 S. Ct. 1282 (1991). In which it wrote (emphasis added): "A factual compilation is eligible for copyright if it features an original selection or arrangement of facts, but the copyright is limited to the particular selection or arrangement. In no event may copyright extend to the facts themselves."[19] So — a screenshot of the list of the discogs would, for example, be covered by copyright. But the mere listing of the facts of the discog information is not covered by copyright. There is no copyvio under US law as long as we have: a) attribution , and b) the format of the list is not a mirror of the original format.

Not accurate - Search Engine Land was mentioned ONE time in a comment by ONE user, and reliability of the source wasn't at stake, so your claim is misleading. It is not on any list as a reliable source here. It doesn't even pass the criteria or have its own page here on Wikipedia. As for blogs, well, they are blogs and few pass the sniff test for RS, even if they are notable by themselves. I will happily leave that to the closing admin to determine the reliability of those sources. Dennis Brown (talk) 20:12, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ten editors scrutinized the sources. SandyGeorgia explicitly called for the sourcing to be examined, & comments were requested at the RS noticeboard and elsewhere. This is all at the link you were given. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 02:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Did you even read the page you linked? SandyGeorgia OPPOSED in the discussion, because of the "failure to use reliable sources. Webforums and blogs used as sources". Another quote "but you may need others to confirm that the sources reflect industry-wide consensus and knowledge, since blogs are not peer-reviewed.". Not that Sandy's opinion is the determiner here, but if you want to invite SandyGeorgia to participate in this discussion, I would feel safe with that. SandyGeorgia never mentions SearchEngineLand specifically (in spite of your claims) in ANY comment whatsoever. In the end, the article was promoted, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't based on the strength of the sources via "SearchEngineLand", but on the 56 other references that had already established "notability". Notability wasn't the concern in that discussion as in this one, it was being considered for Featured Article. Dennis Brown (talk) 12:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fashion in Film[edit]

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

Notability concerns. There are sources in the article, but they provide little more than listings information; I have been unable to find the sort of in-depth coverage required by WP:GNG. See also Fashion in Film Festival, which I have nominated for deletion via PROD. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:23, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The second editor (PeacockPeacock) is the same person as the first editor (she was recommended to change her name since it's the same as the article name) and she's associated with the festival in some context, so I'll have to drop her a note to ask her if she has any pictures she can upload.

It does say on Junior Reid's wikipedia page that Mahad Dar is Junior Reid's manager. This seems significant to me; Junior Reid has a fairly substantial article, so Reid's manager should at least have a few lines, it seems to me.

Actually, that is an unsourced claim, making it either false, or original research if a source can't be found. That "fact" was added by an IP, who only ever made one edit to Wikipedia as well, [23], making it a bit more questionable. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete: A lot of hot air and self-promotion, accompanied by a complete lack of reliable, independent sources. That he has his own "webshow" just puts him up with millions of other wannabe "auteurs," that he's one of dozens in a single indie documentary wouldn't come remotely close to fulfilling the requirements of WP:CREATIVE, and that he's allegedly someone's manager bumps against the well-known principle that notability is not inherited. The article was shot down at Articles for Creation on three separate occasions over a two year span for a lack of reliable sources, and one would think that the string of anon IPs and SPAs that keep trying to put this article up would be better served by waiting until the subject's done something deemed worthy of notice by the world.

Nagamono[edit]

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

This subject of this article is a word, not an object, I can not find any reference to this word when searching the internet with Google search. The whole article is one sentence with no further attempt by the creator of the article to add any additional information to the article. This type of article is not what Wikipedia is about. This article should be deleted, it is unnecessary and adds nothing to Wikipedia. Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 10:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I concur with Samuraiantiqueworld, no-one seems to be using this term in hoplological circles, although there are a couple of mentions on the web (search "nagamono weapon" for some results, but none from reliable sources). Nonetheless, WP:DICTDEF applies, even in Japanese. My Japanese is sketchy, but wouldn't "nagamono" be translated as "long thing" rather than "long weapon"? Yunshui 雲‍水 11:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have not found any verifiable sources such as books on the subject of martial arts that have "nagamono" used as a term but I did find this reference (Traditionally, noodles were called nagamono, which translates as "things that are long,") [24] The folk art of Japanese country cooking: a traditional diet for today's world‎. I found a few other references along the same line. I did find some martial arts web sites which use the term but if it was a commonly used term I would expect to it to come up in some of the martial arts books that are used for references in other martial arts articles.Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 12:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't have my paper dictionaries in front of me, but a search in Japanese on the web does not even turn up one instance of this kanji combination. Unless it is an aberrant reading, one would normally not read the kanji 槍薙 as "nagamono". Usually it would be something like "yarinagi", but since yari and nagi are different things, I don't see anyone using them together to nominate a single thing. I see from the article history that the user who created the article first used 長者 (literally, long thing or person) but changed the kanji later. The user contributed a lot to China-related articles, so I wonder if he/she is Chinese and is actually using a Chinese word here. I'll check my dictionaries at home later.

Delete. This Japanese does not stand up to scrutiny. The original kanji 長者 (nagamono) means "long person", and the present kanji 槍薙 can't be read "nagamono". It would probably be read as "yarinagi", only it's not in the dictionary... Maybe the author was thinking of naginata? There is a word 長物 (nagamono) but that means "a long round thing, like a pipe or other construction material". Also, no sources on Google. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 14:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In light of Tokyogirl79's comment I would like to nominate two more articles for deletion. They are by the same author as the other articles nominated here, and I can't find any third-party coverage on these books either. All of the books listed here are also by the same publishing company, Chanda Books.

— Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 11:13, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all, including recent additions.. There's nothing to show that these books are notable or that they're used widely enough (or at all) in classrooms that they'd pass any part of WP:BK. I also want to note that these books are self-published, with Chanda Books being run by the author and her family. (The books are put out via CreateSpace on Amazon, usually a sign that the author made her own publishing house which ended up being the case here.) Given that the contributing editor's name is "Hindibooks" and their edits were done solely for books put out by Chanda Books, I'm of the belief that these were all promotional edits by the author and/or her family. BTW, if it's not too late I'd like to ask that you add Sonu ke Afsane to this group nomination, as it's another unsourced and non-notable book put out by Chanda Books and added by the same editor.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:40, 12 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Delete all We really should have a special speedy deletion criterion for self-published books; the chances of them passing WP:NBOOK are so small as to be negligible.

- This crash didn't change procedures, didn't involve anyone famous. News coverage was routine.- William 11:04, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:AIRCRASH has two seperate criteria levels, which a lot of people who argue "it meets AIRCRASH, KEEP!" miss. Yes, this article meets the WP:AIRCRASH criterion for mentioning in the airline or aircraft article. However, it does not meet WP:AIRCRASH criterion for a stand-alone article. To wit: "If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article above it may be notable enough for a stand-alone article if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports." This article fails on all three of those (WP:PERSISTENCE comes to mind as well). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As mentioned by both the above "keep" and "delete" advocates, it does pass WP:AIRCRASH, but it also passes the WP:GNG guideline per the extensive coverage. WP:NOT#NEWS is about, as it states, "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities" which I don't think the coverage of this falls under the scope of. And honestly, a crash of a jetliner in which is was total loss yet all 154 people on it survived is a very significant incident in my book. Simply the historical nuance of at least one person dying as opposed to zero shouldn't be, and overall I don't think is, the only deciding factor to which we have articles. --Oakshade (talk) 01:41, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, otherwise merge with the airline. WP:AIRCRASH specifically mentions hull loss as a major contributor to notability of an accident. In severity, a runway overrun that destroys the airplane but with no fatalites is approximately on par with Air France Flight 358. Coverage tends to be sparser in English media when the accident is in the Phillipines rather than in Canada, but that does not really detract from notability or significance.

    - English news sources are definitely a lot easier to find in the internet than those written in the local languages. That said, this was never "headline news" when this happened. –H T D 17:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I will divide my conclusion in three parts, as there are three things that could make him notable. First: football-career - fails WP:NFOOTY, has not played in a fully professional league (The first AfD was mostly on his football-career). Second: playerhistory.com - fails WP:GNG, the fact that playerhistory.com has an article on wikipedia, does not make the founder notable for an article. As the founder of such a site, he could have been a "pundit" that media called for curious facts regarding football, but he isn't. The only thing I could find, is when he commented on Lutz Pfannenstiel becoming the first footballer to play in all six continents. Here you can see that 100% Fotball, a cooperation between several newspapers (five of the seven biggest, plus a lot of regional and local papers) in Norway on football-news, has written about him twice. Third: political career - 21 October 2008 he startet a political party named Hålogalandspartiet (source) and 25 October 2008 he withdrew from the party (source). Hålogalandspartiet did not participate in the election in 2009 (source), but I haven't figured out why. I haven't ever heard of either Håkon Winther or Hålogalandspartiet, so in my opinion his political career clearly fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 15:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - Would be a straightforward 'delete' per Mentoz86's comprehensive analysis, but the fact that the majority of the cited sources are in Norwegian leaves me with little to verify the significance of his political career. Setting up a facebook group of 6000 members means nothing, but what of the significance of the resulting party? Either way, as Mentoz86 indicates, notability isn't inherited and this article subject's personal notability is not established to my mind.

Delete per Mentoz86 research. Non-notable as a footballer (hasn't played in a fully professional league), and as a politician (he wasn't elected at a political office). Fails WP:GNG as well. – Kosm1 fent 17:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Mentoz did a great job pointing out why he wouldn't be notable if he were just a politician. He also did a great job pointing out why he wouldn't be notable if he were just a football player. Again, he did a great job pointing out why he wouldn't be notable if he had just set up the playerhistory site. I did not see anything addressing whether all of these things together make him notable enough for an article. Here is one mention I found of him concerning the political party: [27].--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't know if you understand Norwegian, but this blog wonders what have happened to Hålogalandspartiet (now renamed to Regionspartiet), and mentions Winther, since he is the founder of the party (even though he resigned after 4 days). I still believe it's too little to pass WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 19:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment if he has engaged in three activities, in none of which he is notable, the fact that he does all three of them does not make him notable. People need to be notable in some one thing. It's more characteristically argued of society figures. but it applies here also. Anyone can easily be unimportant in as many things as he chooses. (I'm not notable as a librarian nor as a biochemist, but there are very few librarians who are also biochemists--does that make me notable?) DGG ( talk ) 06:07, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- Agreed. The Devil's Advocate is fair to mention that notability can be determined from more than one field/profession. But in this case, most people !voting in the AFD appear to believe that the subject's exploits in various areas are not demonstrated to combine to push him over the notability threshold. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 08:57, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Following DGG's comment, 0+0+0=0. The concept of "notability" begins with the GNG, which holds that a subject be discussed in "significant detail" in multiple reliable sources. The premise behind subordinate criteria such as WP:POLITICIAN, WP:NSPORTS and WP:CREATIVE is that someone who meets them is presumed by that fact alone to be able to satisfy the GNG. If you can't meet WP:POLITICIAN as a political figure, you probably didn't meet the GNG. If you can't meet WP:NSPORTS as an athlete, you probably didn't meet the GNG.

Derreck Kayongo[edit]

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

Nominating per outcome of discussion here.

Original reason: This is one of ten bios created from a CNN award for "a normal person, they're doing a normal job," to quote CNN itself. Point is, this is WP:ONEEVENT and also a good example of how widespread coverage in a national publication can still occasionally not be an indication of notability. In fact, I think that this set of articles is the textbook definition of BLP1E.

Of course what these individuals are doing is great, but it can be sufficiently covered in an article about the CNN Heroes series/award. We don't need new BLPs to do that either.

I'm nominating those that don't have coverage outside of the CNN related coverage. A few entries have additional external links so I am not nominating those. This particular nom only applies to this article. Shadowjams (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. I agreed with deletion for Bruno Serato and Amy Stokes, but Kayongo has sufficient coverage online for his work in Global Soap in GNEWS archives (apart from the WP:BLP1E coverage of him getting the CNN award) to meet WP:BIO in my opinion.

Do not delete. I have a found a number of sources in original language and I have added some of them. I will still add other ones as well but am not sure how many I need to add in order to prove that this event was notable? It was an international co-production of distinguished regional artists (East West Theatre Company from Sarajevo, BH and TALA Dance Center from Zagreb, Croatia) and this production opened a major international festival (PLATFORMA). The show was directed by an influential director Haris Pasovic and recived international press and internet coverage.

This may be a relatively minor SF magazine, but as far as I can tell it is pretty respected in the Speculative Fiction Small Press world (especially for the reviews site, which is widely quoted), and I don't see what would be gained by deleting from Wikipedia all articles on small magazines that are not widely discussed in print or mainstream venues.

Keep and userfy. Nom deleted 3 sources which looked to me like they were on topic. Also, if the article was (or is now) promoting a POV, what viewpoint would that be? In other words, does the article lean toward one side in the controversy over whether welfare rules "deny welfare benefits to families headed by a heterosexual couple, on the grounds that an able-bodied man ought to support his wife and children"? If so, then by all means let's fix the article by finding sources for the other point of view. For almost any political idea, we can usually find support for the opposite idea. Why not help me do it? --Uncle Ed (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unbelievably confused and confusing article. As Hrafn says, this article is really about the AFDC, which we already have an article on so this falls under CSD:A10. "man-in-the-house" does not seem to be a common phrase so I don't see a strong case for redirecting. The article doesn't define the term properly - nothing in the AFDC rules appear to specify heterosexual couples, for example. It uses references incorrectly - Sam Brownback isn't mentioned in the reference that quotes him, for example. Its full of synthesis, for example the quote "This feature created a clear disincentive for marriage and also a clear incentive for divorce" is used to support the article's claim that the rule promotes matriarchy, but it doesn't. The external link to the Daily Mail article has nothing to do with a man-in-the-house rule, but seems to be there to broaden the article's scope beyond just the AFDC; it does not and again is subtle original research. Sparthorse (talk) 07:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Man-in-the house" policies gets 53 million Google hits, so while it may not be a familiar term to you it in nevertheless out there in the real world.
1. Here's one from Harvard Law School: "Former federal welfare rules allowed states to condition eligibility upon the sexual morality of recipients by enforcing “suitable-home” or “man-in-the-house” rules." [36]
If the article doesn't define the term properly, the solution is to correct the definition; e.g., if the word "heterosexual" is the problem just delete it. Any reference that's improperly used can be deleted; that has nothing to do with whether the topic is notable. It's relevant to the history of welfare benefits in the USA, anyway.
- And if the article appears to claim that the rule promotes matriarchy, that should be changed to clarify that certain advocates made that claim; for NPOV balance, we can cite those who (like contributor Sparthouse) say that it doesn't. With 50 million Google hits, finding such a source should be easy.
- Finally, if anyone prefers to shrink the article's scope, so that it focuses only on the Man-in-the-house rule, that's okay with me; the last thing I would want is an article that contains original research or synthesis.
None of the problems with the article are justifications for not having information on the topic. --Uncle Ed (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The 53 million Google hits are mostly not about this topic. The problem with the matriarchy claim is that you don't have a single source that supports this - in other words its your conclusion that man-in-the-house rules promote matriarchy, not any advocates'. And yes, the scope of an article about the "man-in-the-house" rule should definitely be the "man-in-the-house" rule. Once you scope the article to its subject, there is nothing here to be said that should not be in the AFDC since everything I've seen so far shows that the man-in-the-house rule is only discussed in the context of the AFDC. Its already covered adequately in that article. At most, a redirect to AFDC is all that's justified. Sparthorse (talk) 08:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No claim of notability. The only result that Google seemed to return is this article. External links appear to consist of the author's own home page, a Facebook group set up by the author (with comments by 2 (two) other people over the 3 years it has existed) and a site with a long list of file extensions. The last suggests an image file format ".dl" exists but gives no more details. Other "file extension" sites return nothing. This article appears to also have been written by the author. My conclusion is that the only source is the author. Whilst it might have existed it certainly doesnt appear notable. Pit-yacker (talk) 23:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Butterfly Potion[edit]

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

This article was deprodded with an edit summary that suggested that sources for this article could be found in a Google Books search. Such a search reveals five hits, the first of which is not a reliable source and the second and last of which only list this EP along with other albums, not providing any information about the EP. Only the SPIN and Option sources are valid, and both only mention this EP in passing; neither constitutes significant coverage of the EP. A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for albums.

Keep Lasting notability. It is disappointing that we do not have good sources yet, but the story of how this became one of the most instantly recognisable brands in the UK and apparently Australia and South Africa would make a good topic. It began as a brand name of Cerebos in 1907, but there may be more to that as Cerebos was itself an established salt brand. It is inconceivable that it has not been explored in more than one study. --AJHingston (talk) 11:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep - Very well known in the UK by most people, and possibly the best known brand of salt. I have occasionally heard "truckload of Saxa" being used as an exaggeration of "pinch of salt". --Ritchie333 (talk) 21:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
