Keep I have copied over the citations and external links from the ptWP. I think they make the notability clear. It is a little rash to decide an enWP article is unreferenceable without at least checking the corresponding article in the language of the subject. DGG ( talk ) 06:53, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but with improvements or PNJCS. Thank you, @DGG:, for copying those citations and links. I agree that it would be rash to claim that this article is unreferenceable—in fact, I found this myself. I did read both versions of the article and I looked at the edit history for each. This article has been orphaned in more ways than one, however, and I wanted some discussion about whether or not the subject was, in fact, ”…regarded as an important figure … widely cited by peers or successors … known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique, etc.” WP:ARTIST. Neither the ptWP or enWP article has had significant work done in the past 4–5 years and notability can change. —giso6150 (talk) 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This tornado is a non-notable WP:EVENT. While it was somewhat outside the normal geographic range, this tornado was a rather routine occurrence.

Poorly sourced (it was actually attempting to get away with some Facebook sourcing, until I yanked that) WP:BLP of a person notable only for serving on a county-level council, which is not a role that satisfies WP:NPOL. While admittedly a few of his colleagues on South Dublin County Council do have Wikipedia articles, those few all have some other claim of notability, such as having previously been an Olympic athlete or a Teachta Dála — and that covers a grand total of four members on a council of 40. Besides this guy, the other 35 members of the council, the ones for whom the council itself is the crux of their notability as it is here, do not have Wikipedia articles. Also dead-cert WP:COI, if you compare the creator's username (User:Cllrclondalkin) to the name of the district that the topic is "cllr" for. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Being a member of the County Council is not sufficient to meet WP:POLITICIAN unless they have received significant coverage. The only coverage I can find is of him calling for things to happen, or proposing motions, not any actual significant coverage of him, so I cannot see how the article can pass the notability guidelines.

Yet another GNIS-hallucinated "community". The article cites several maps, but none of them actually uses this place name. In fact the location given is just a T intersection in the middle of nowhere in particular. The only "history" given is surmised from one of the maps. Mangoe (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As the article currently stands, the multiple sources provided scrape by the standard to establish notability per WP:GEOLAND. As created, with a single source from GNIS, I would have agreed that the article shouldn't exist on a standalone basis, though I would ask why you're not arguing for a redirect as I would have (and did) under those circumstances. Alansohn (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because I do not consider GNIS a sufficient demonstration that the spot was occupied by a town/hamlet/whatever at any time, especially as (so far) all the primary sources presented (which is all the sourcing we have) do not name the place (with the exception of the legislative report, which does not say what kind of place Fair Play is). If I eliminated the primary sources the two location catalogues would be all that was left. Mangoe (talk) 00:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable college swimmer. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards), nor the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG (insufficient significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources). FYI, there is no specific notability guideline for swimmers, but they often qualify under WP:GNG and WP:NOLYMPICS, but the subject does not, having never competed in any senior international swimming event. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:28, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per WP:NCOLLATH, the page should be deleted. The individual hasn't really accomplished anything passed the collegiate realm.

WP:GNG concerns. The only reference in the article that even mentions the chart is a primary source, with the rest being about streaming singles. If I do a quick Google search, I can only find one article (this one) that is about the albums streaming chart specifically, with most of the rest (e.g. here, here, here and here) being more about streams being incorporated into the main album chart. The equivalent singles streaming chart may well be notable, but notability is not inherited. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:04, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. His work may have been played once on the BBC, which has several stations and covers a huge volume of new artists, but I can find no evidence that it was ever placed in rotation.

Unfortunately those aren't considered WP:Reliable sources to support WP:Notability, since anyone can create a verified account on social media.

She was the first-ever NHS winner of a First Women Award in 2010 in recognition of her work in improving services for cancer patients. Shaw was chosen as Patron for the 'Network National' for UK business women in 2009. She received the North West Inspiring Woman of the Year award in 2007.

Winning a de facto "Employee of the Year" award doesn't make you notable. If the award isn't notable, then neither does winning it establish notability. Pax19:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As a CBE, Caroline Shaw quite clearly meets WP:ANYBIO #1. We have always held that the CBE satisfies that. Completely different case and not at all relevant to this discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Order of the British Empire"...is the most junior and most populous order of chivalry..." CBE is the third category down within it - in other words, it's one of the lesser designations given to the people they're not going to "knight". (English civil-service is like a special-needs camp where everybody gets a ribbon.) Pax22:48, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but you quite clearly have no real understanding of the British honours system (as your last sentence clearly illustrates). Each rank of an order is lower than the equivalent rank of a higher order, but higher than the next rank down in a higher order. The British system does not rank all recipients of a higher order above all recipients of a lower order - it doesn't work like that. In addition, it is the only order that can be awarded to anyone and not just to specific categories of people (which is the case with the Order of the Bath, Order of St Michael and St George and Royal Victorian Order). Although the Order of the British Empire is the most junior order, the CBE is the highest of its ranks below knighthood (and the highest rank below knighthood for which most people are eligible), outranking the LVO (which belongs to a higher order, but is a lower rank), and only a few dozen are awarded every year. Many OBEs and MBEs are awarded, but not CBEs. We have consistently held in AfDs that the CBE (but not the OBE or MBE) is indeed a notable award under WP:ANYBIO #1. And many recipients of the CBE do in fact go on to be knighted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Given that they're throwing knighthoods out like candy at a parade these days (a sort of grade inflation for awards), I think we ought not be reflexively considering CBEs to be that notability-granting. I mean, if these not-quite-knights were actually bearing arms (i.e., all that hoary days of chivalry and jousting tournaments business), WP:Soldier would be considerably more strict on who makes the cut.05:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Delete: This does not seem to me to be encyclopaedic material.

Due to patents issue, please excuse us from releasing the details temporarily. It can also be expected that PileInspect system's novel technologies will be recognized and sourced in the near future. We hope this article will not be simply deleted because it is just lack of verifiability temporarily. We will improve and enrich this article with solid materials on the techniques achieved from the PileInspect project as soon as possible. The recent revisions on this article include:

Delete. @Zhenghaitao: I guess you are a new editor here.

On User_talk:Coren you said: "We are creating the Wikipedia page which is a project task." Are you saying that your project, your manager, or someone else has told you to make a Wikipedia page? If so the page should obviously be deleted immediately. You could try to explain to whoever it is that this is not how Wikipedia works.

In sum: there are scattered mentions here and there, as can be expected for the son of a famous father who's had a fairly successful career himself. But there's nothing approaching the "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" standard set by WP:BASIC, and so we should delete. - BiruitorulTalk13:51, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I would tentatively agree with the nominator's analysis of the sources in the article, and after doing some homework I couldn't find anything more relevant. It seems that the subject's father is far more notable, or at least there is more material about him. The bio does read like a vanity piece, and I suspect there is some COI going on there, but I don't see how the material there can sustain the notion that there is significant coverage of Mr. Florescu. Long and distinguished career for sure, but very little about it in reliable sources. The only thing I initially worried about was that we could be missing some sources in Romanian, but since the subject's career has largely progressed in the United States as far as I can see, it's unlikely that he would be more notable there than here. There are also some claims regarding his involvement in politics that I could not source. §FreeRangeFrogcroak18:51, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CLN does not require that a category and a list always coexist for the same grouping of topics — there are certainly circumstances where we should rightly have both, but I don't see this as one of them. The "list" is just a poorly maintained and extremely minimal selection that should be hundreds of entries larger than it is, and the category is not diffused into the array of subcategories that it would take to make the list useful as an alternate method of navigation. So this doesn't fall into the set of situations where a category and a list are both needed; it falls into the set where the list is just "because we can" duplication that has absolutely no value whatsoever. And for added bonus, I can't find any indication that any other country has its own standalone "List of (Country) animated television series" — everything else in ‹The templateCategory link is being considered for merging.›Category:Lists of animated television series is a list by year, by decade or by method of animation, and this is the only one by country. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:52, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets GNG. See not only the RS refs in the article itself. But also those here, here, here, and here. So much coverage, I would not be surprised if this were to close as a snow keep.
I also note this nom is attempting to delete a number of other synagogue articles, which also appear to have the requisite coverage. See the top-listed 5 articles nominated by him, today, here. Epeefleche (talk) 01:53, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Epeefleche - Until Arxiloxos added additional citations to several of the articles, all 5 had no more than a single external reference (including this article, or in one case, two brief mentions), which clearly does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Not sure what you're insinuating by your above comment, but it clearly does not adhere to WP:AGF. This came about as a result of another editor who had an article which could only reference the synagogue's own webpage (it had several other references, but none which spoke to the synagogue itself), who has been declined several times by different editors at AfC. To defend his article's lack of references, he mentioned 6 other synagogues, which I took a look at. Due to the dearth of references on 5 of those articles, since they clearly did not meet WP:GNG, I nominated them for deletion. I didn't nominate the 6th (Beth Sholom Congregation (Frederick, Maryland)), since that clearly did meet GNG.Onel5969 (talk) 02:49, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I assume good faith. I assume simply that today you in good faith have nominated for deletion five articles in a row on synagogues, which meet GNG.
By your comment, I assume that in your deciding whether to assert that an article fails to meet GNG, you only looked at the refs in the article itself? And did not independently google for refs that were not in the article, but that did in fact satisfy GNG? Is my understanding correct? Epeefleche (talk) 02:56, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, by your comment, it would appear that you weren't AGF. You're also incorrect that I didn't check references. Regarding this article, for instance, a google search revealed a FB page, the org's website, the Wikipedia entry, a mention on foursquare.com, a mention on greatschools.org, several mentions to Cosmopolitan Caterers (which apparently is the caterer of the Synagogue), a listing on nonprofitfacts.com, a few wedding announcements, a listing on wow.com, a blank entry on seathound.com, a listing on www.longislandexchange.com, a map on maven.co.il, a yelp listing, a mirror listing on digplanet, a legal complaint being reinstated against the synagogue, and two more business listings. None of which would show GNG. That's the first two pages in their entirety on Bing. Similar results were for the other articles as well. So, by your comments, I assume you are again attempting to insinuate something. Regardless, have a nice day. Onel5969 (talk) 03:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What User talk:Onel5969 is that the sole in-line reference in the article at the time he posted it to AFD was a book about Great Neck published by Rutgers University Press. This, and the other synagogues in the mass deletion attempt, are not hard to source. A tag pointing out the need for sources would have been appropriate, rushing to AFD is, well, hard to understand in this case.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Onel5969-You clearly did not do an adequate search on the diffs I posted above. Just the Gnews diff alone shows many RS sources supporting GNG. Plus, you don't understand what AgF stands for. It does not mean "assume the rules were followed" or "assume competence in editing". It does not mean that editors cannot criticize your actions. When you nominate 5 articles in a row for AfD, and they attract 2 dozen Keep !votes, zero Delete !votes, and Snow closes. Epeefleche (talk) 20:01, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And you clearly do not understand what AGF means, nor the Wikipedia pillar of civility, as evidenced once again by your personal attack in this latest post. I suggest you re-read both of those, since you have failed to abide by them in discussion. Criticism is one thing, accusation and insinuation something entirely different. As is repeated mis-statements. And with that, as in keeping with tenets of civility, I will leave this discussion. Onel5969 (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Already responded to.
But I should add ... you might bolster the assumption of good faith by withdrawing your remaining, not-yet-SNOW-closed, nominations ... all of which have attracted unanimous "Keep" disagreement with your assertion of non-notability. I am surprised that you haven't ... in good faith ... done so.
The only benefit of these remaining open at this point is that more editors vote Keep, confirming that contrary to your nomination assertions sufficient GNG coverage did in fact exist. And perhaps impelling you to do better wp:before searches before your next nomination. And, I suppose, more editors may join those who have already said as much to you in these five AfDs.

Keep. Many sources exist, and they reflect that this is a large, historic, and important congregation, led by a series of influential rabbis who have played a substantial role in political and social issues in Texas. I have added some content and sources to the article. -Arxiloxos (talk) 00:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; significant coverage exists; more than enough to satisfy GNG. Arxiloxo's additions suffice, but a longer article could be written. Kuru(talk)00:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I note this nom is also attempting to delete a number of other synagogue articles, which also appear to have the requisite coverage. See the 5-top-listed articles nominated by him, today, here. Epeefleche (talk) 02:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Epeefleche - Until Arxiloxos added additional citations to several of the articles, all 5 had no more than a single external reference (including this article, or in one case, two brief mentions), which clearly does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG. Not sure what you're insinuating by your above comment, but it clearly does not adhere to WP:AGF. This came about as a result of another editor who had an article which could only reference the synagogue's own webpage (it had several other references, but none which spoke to the synagogue itself), who has been declined several times by different editors at AfC. To defend his article's lack of references, he mentioned 6 other synagogues, which I took a look at. Due to the dearth of references on 5 of those articles, since they clearly did not meet WP:GNG, I nominated them for deletion. I didn't nominate the 6th (Beth Sholom Congregation (Frederick, Maryland)), since that clearly did meet GNG.Onel5969 (talk) 02:49, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
By your comment, I assume that in your deciding whether to assert that an article fails to meet GNG, you only looked at the refs in the article itself? And did not independently google for refs that were not in the article, but that did in fact satisfy GNG? Is my understanding correct? Epeefleche (talk) 02:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly meets GNG. Per those RS refs now in the article. As well as the various others I didn't even bother to put in ... as we already have quite enough to satisfy GNG.
I note this nom is also attempting to delete a number of other synagogue articles, which also appear to have the requisite coverage. See the 5-top-listed articles nominated by him, today, here. (I'm commenting on similar AfD nominations today by nom that suffer from the same malady in the nomination; I'm not saying that nom acted in bad faith - just that he is seeking today to delete five synagogue articles on the same unwarranted basis ... perhaps he didn't carefully and exhaustively perform google, and gnews, and gbooks searches). Epeefleche (talk) 04:52, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a sizeable and influential congregation with an important rabbi in its history. Notability was apparent from basic searches, and Epeefleche has now added multiple sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:10, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Epeefleche and the rest. To @Onel5969: What's up doc? You should avoid nominating mass deletions, that look more like "massacres" without first trying to arrive at some WP:CONSENSUS and not laying the foundations for a misguided WP:BATTLEGROUND environment. You need to read up on WP:SPIDERMAN ASAP, and cool it! In future feel out the waters by consulting some WP:EXPERT editors at WP:TALKJUDAISM before going on a rampage of nominations like this that is not a formula for WP:CIVIL. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 03:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@IZAK: - And you sir, should read up on AGF. 5 nominations of articles which had virtually no independent citations prior to their nominations is hardly a "massacre". The WP:BATTLEGROUND was supplied by inaccurate and inflammatory comments by Epeefleche. The articles clearly failed GNG when nominated. Brief internet searches did not provide any substantive support. And so, following the procedure as set down in XfD, they were nominated. You should really understand what civility is about. But I'll just take it for granted that you're having a really bad day. Take it easy. Onel5969 (talk) 03:46, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Onel5969: Hi there again! I am really having a wonderful day and evening, hope you are too! One should never "shoot first and ask questions later" when trying to COLLABORATIVELY write encyclopedia articles, and if called out for that, then avoid "crying wolf" because you have missed the point that as has now been proven to you, such articles can and are improvable if you go about it the right way and avoid scaring the heck out of editors that you are on a rampage by lunging into mass nominations of articles for deletion. You could have moved a lot slower and started with one article and asked for input at WP:TALKJUDAISM since you obviously do not know much about this subject you dove into. If I for example wanted to opine about neurosurgery or astrophysics subjects that I know that I know next to nothing about, I would not run in and nominate for deletion some of their related articles because by now as experienced WP editors, articles are NOT born fully-formed and perfect but evolve and grow. Many times they are just a ((stub)) for years til someone comes along and has the time to improve them. That is why you should read up on and internalize the meaning of WP:DONOTDEMOLISH and WP:CHANCE and really try taking WP:COMPETENCE and WP:EXPERT very seriously. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Onel5969. You apparently haven't read or taken to heart what I've written to you here and in this discussion and in the other AfDs. Or perhaps you're confused by what the requirements are. First, I've made no inaccurate comments.
Second, you say "The articles clearly failed GNG when nominated." That's plainly false. You seem to suffer from a misapprehension that an article fails to meet GNG if the GNG refs are not in the article. That's simply incorrect. As long as the requisite RS sources exist, the article meets GNG whether or not the sources are reflected as refs in the article. Please take a moment to understand this. You are required as a nom, under wp:before, to understand and act in accordance with the wp:before rule that "If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination."
Third, as a nom, you have an obligation under wp:before to search for additional sources. And "The minimum search expected is a Google Books search and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects." The RS refs reflecting that these synagogues you nominated for deletion did in fact meet GNG (the opposite of your assertion in your nominations) were all discoverable by performing google searches. Yet you, by your own admission, stopped short in your google searches after 2 or 3 pages. That's not appropriate. Had you performed the searches as you were required to perform them, you would have seen that the appropriate RS sources existed, and that the articles met GNG, and would not have incorrectly asserted otherwise and wasted the time of other editors with (good faith, no doubt) erroneous assertions and improper AFD nominations. That you did this with five articles in a row is a sign that you should take another look at you approach, and carefully understand WP:BEFORE, prior to making further nominations.
Finally, when as here you see 2 dozen !votes to Keep the articles you nominated for deletion, and zero !votes supporting your nominations, and your nominations are being SNOW-closed after a day or two as not having a snowball's chance in hell of being agreed with, it may be a good time to reconsider your practices. Many thanks. Epeefleche (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Epeefleche - Simply because you say something occurred the way you say it did, doesn't mean that's what happened. As was carefully explained to you, I followed the EXACT procedure as put down in AfD, and did not find the references. In the same criteria you quote above, you conveniently leave out the end of that criteria: "Such searches should in most cases take only a minute or two to perform." Which is exactly what I did. You feel that the search was not exhaustive enough. Fine. You have a right to your opinion. You do not have the right to make accusatory statements based on that opinion. If you truly were a proponent of AGF, you would not then make (and continue to make even after it was explained to you) the incorrect and accusatory statement, "... he is seeking today to delete five synagogue articles on the same unwarranted basis ...". It was not unwarranted, and your incorrect assertion that it was is uncalled for. As per WP:UNCIVIL, I attempted to open a discourse with you, and you continue to put forth your personal attacks. These personal attacks have encouraged others to also engage in personal attacks. You may need to re-read the policy on civility.Onel5969 (talk) 13:02, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look at this article as it stood at the time User talk:Onel5969 posted it to AFD as part of an attempted group deletion of articles about American synagogues. While it is true that this article at that time entirely lacked sources, it contained conspicuous indications of probable notability, including a blue-linked rabbi. Rushing to AFD was clearly uncollegial and inappropriate. I suggest that User talk:Onel5969 might do better to admit that he was wrong and apologize; arguing aggressively with editors who called him on so very odd a move as a mass-deletion of long-standing synagogue pages, is piing inappropriate behavior atop an exceedingly odd mass deletion. Kudos to User:Epeefleche & User:Arxiloxos for sourcing this article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Onel5969 - You failed to follow wp:before. First, you have repeatedly asserted, even after it was pointed out to you that it was flatly wrong, that the "articles clearly failed GNG when nominated." Obviously, if you have read and understand wp:before, you know the opposite is true.
Second, you failed to do a proper wp:before search. Otherwise, all 5 of these articles would not have been nominated. Even without looking further than the 2 pages per search (or sometimes 3) that you limited yourself to -- which I would advise you to expand, given the poor results of your 5 synagogue nominations -- I see sufficient RS coverage to meet GNG. But obviously, your history of review suggests that you do not fall within the "most cases" category, and you need to do a more comprehensive and careful review in order not to nominate a series of SNOW-closed AfDs.
My statement was true. You nominated at AfD 5 synagogues. You did it on an unwarranted basis. How can you disagree with that?
These are not personal attacks. Nor are they violations of AGF. You perhaps misunderstand both. You are not being attacked. Your actions are being criticized. And rightly so. Further, understand that AGF is an assumption. A rebuttable presumption. Despite AGF, we do in fact routinely block editors, and topic ban editors -- we don't say that because of AGF we can't do so. I personally still assume you acted in good faith though.
If you took your car out five days in a row, and each day got into a fender bender, we wouldn't say you did so in bad faith. But we would be quite correct to suggest that before you take your car out again, you should review your procedures. Because you are doing something quite wrong, as we can tell from the results. Such is the case here. Epeefleche (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And as I stated in another thread, with this, I'm done listening to this lack of civility, as per the wiki guidelines on dealing with uncivil folks. Have a nice day, all.Onel5969 (talk) 21:35, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I accept that Onel5969 was acting in good faith. Onel5969 has explained that these five AfDs were filed in response to a complaint from the author of Draft:Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation, a submitted draft that has been declined twice at WP:AfC, pointing to these articles as being unsourced while the Kol Hadash draft has multiple sources and was rejected nonetheless.
I would like to address two concerns I see arising from this narrative. First, it appears to me that a reasonable case might be made for the notability of Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation, based on sources like these: a 2008 NPR story [9]; a detailed 2008 article in the Chicago Tribune[10]; and a detailed 2014 story from WBEZ[11]; as well as a number of other articles about the congregation's rabbi, Adam Chalom, who is described in some articles as the most prominent American leader of the Humanistic Judaism movement since the death of Sherwin Wine. (The proposed draft has other problems that need addressing, particularly its highly promotional tone.)
But second, even if we assume for the moment that Kol Hadash isn't notable, there were some immediately obvious differences that made these five AfDs inappropriate. These are five older, large, mainstream congregations, each of which had some clear indication of likely notability right in the text of the article: a landmark building, prominent rabbi(s), long history, large congregation, history of influence in the community. In other words, these AfDs did not involve small or obscure neighborhood shuls, but important institutions of the sort that generally have articles on Wikipedia. The articles can all be improved, to be sure, but the problems were self-evidently surmountable, and AfD is not cleanup. So it is not surprising that experienced editors became concerned when they saw the AfDs. And in each case, my very quick check of Google, Google Books, Google News, and/or Google Scholar immediately turned up sources to verify notability. Also, as IZAK has noted elsewhere, many resources are available on Jewish topics that are not necessarily known to those unfamiliar with the area.
At this point, I think the AfDs that are still open can and should be closed; it doesn't sound like anyone still has doubts about the notability of the temple (or the others), and it can be hoped that going forward, we can take some constructive guidance from the experience. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:26, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article falls under category of WP:INHERITED because of his familial relationship to Elvis Presley. As with his brother's article (Gene Smith (Memphis Mafia)), this individual has no real notability on his own. Was a member of Elvis' "Memphis Mafia", but not one of the better known and more notable members of the group. Other than books published with a passing reference to Smith in them, majority of article references are from questionable sources. If article not deleted, suggest it to be merged with or redirected to Memphis Mafia. -- WV ● ✉✓21:00, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware there were detailed criteria for notability for figure skaters. I considered this question prior to writing the article. My reference case was Marin Honda whom I also note you [[22]] have marked for deletion on grounds of notability. I note the only "non-criteria" for notability is that Harris has been successful at at advanced novice level, below the threshold junior level. (Having a competitive bio at isuresults.com is not a criteria for notability.) I am happy to accept the article be deleted on grounds of notability provided the policy is applied consistently.
By the way there needs to be an article on the levels in figure skating, particularly the differences between (advanced) novice, junior and senior, noting the qualification ages (eg 10-15 for ISU novice on 1 July prior to competition) and the variation between the ISU and individual countries. Advanced novice, junior and senior are important as they are recorded in many competition pages, unlike basic novice. This one is inadequate. I don't have sufficient expertise to write this article, but see [1] for the ISU advanced novice criteria.
Delete this unsourced biography of a living person unless reliable sources can be added to substantiate the content. I appreciate this was a good faith attempt to create an article, but writing biographies of living people without the benefit of third-party sourcing just opens the article to abuse and defamation.

Article would require a fundamental rewrite to read as a non-promotional article. Also, the notability of the article is questionable, and no proof has been produced by the author to support notability. Carwile2 *Shoot me a message*22:49, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect to Commercial International Bank, its parent.

Fails to meet WP:Notability. A look at the history of this article shows that it was nominated once before for the same reason via WP:PROD. That time, the article creator (who appears very closely affiliated with the subject) removed the PROD tag, which is not a problem. I have notified creator as a courtesy. Article has too many issues to be worth saving. TritonsRising(talk)21:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As written the article is borderline spam. I couldn't find any independent coverage outside of directory listings and the occasional conference using the app, though this is something that ought to attract easily google-able commentary.

The article survived the first afd on the basis of "every text book is notable". But existence isn't equal to notability, which requires significiant coverage in secondary sources. None of the citeria in WP:NBOOK is met, either. Antigng (talk) 13:11, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This group only registered as a party less than a month ago, has not run a single candidate for office (much less elected one), and does not involve any notable politicians. Only one neutral source is provided, which basically says the party hasn't done anything yet. It's too soon for an article for this group. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 17:06, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy. I agree with the nomination statement - but the party is registered with the Australian Electoral Commission, which indicates at least some organisational presence. The article should be userfied until the party contests an election, though. Frickeg (talk) 23:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Being registered only requires 500 members[1], which is a tiny number in most countries. That said, userfy could be appropriate so this stuff is prepared if they do have success. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:50, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Given dwindling party membership in Australia (even the major parties have fewer than 50,000 members [23]), it's not really trivial - plenty of quite long-standing groups have struggled with it (although declined registrations have decreased drastically in the last year or so, which is why there is a fair bit of talk about raising the threshold - 750 members, the NSW requirement, is viewed as almost draconian there). Generally there has been an unspoken convention in the Australian politics project that parties that are both registered and have contested elections are notable. Parties do quite often register and then fade away by the time the election comes around, though, which is why userfication is the appropriate response here, the next federal election being more than a year away. Frickeg (talk) 04:26, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in the middle of a lengthy rewrite of a piece on the Communist Party of New Zealand, which didn't break the 500 member mark for more than a decade. We shouldn't be obsessed with such things. If a party exists, write it up — just like we do for rivers, inhabited places, highways, high schools, etc. Carrite (talk) 20:59, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can feel the consensus going keep, and frankly I'm pretty OK with that; my understanding had always been that registration + contesting elections was the bar, and if it's going to be just registration in the future, fine. I do think that "existence" is way too low, though; there will be unregistered parties that are notable, but if we're writing up everyone we'll be writing articles about five blokes in a garage ranting drunkenly about th'immigrants. We have to have something reliable to write, after all. For the CPNZ, there are clearly a ton of sources so it has no trouble passing GNG. But I'm getting off track here. Frickeg (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just clarifying that we're in complete agreement about "existence" being insufficient, which is why we've both been consistently voting delete on unregistered parties for as long as I can remember! Unregistered parties a) frequently never do get registered, and b) may well be just "five blokes in a garage ranting drunkenly", but now that these guys have got registered, at the minimum their preference designations are going to factor into the Senate results in every state they run in. This is not inconsiderable, either: we may never hear of the Australian Independents again but in 2013 there was a roomful of tons of party scrutineers spending weeks specifically checking each vote for them because the entire Senate result hung on the order they and a handful of other parties finished in. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:54, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. For once, I strongly disagree with Frickeg. I have always argued (and until now thought it basically accepted) that AEC registration meant inherent notability, regardless of whether an election has been contested. There hasn't been a case of a party successfully becoming registered for the AEC and then fading away before a federal election in quite sometime, and the significance of new registered microparties is higher than it's ever been before. Our system of preferential ticket voting in the Senate means that all registered microparties seriously matter, both in determining who gets elected, and at the moment, in terms of the chances of actually getting themselves elected. I think it weakens our coverage of federal politics a lot if we start picking and choosing which registered parties get articles. Two microparties on the same level of notability as this one got people elected in 2013 (though one was later overturned in the WA revote), and all the others played into the Senate results in a very significant way through their preferences. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy if someone is willing to take it, or Delete otherwise. Unless or until the party contests elections and get significant coverage in more than one reliable source it does not meet the notability guidelines. Davewild (talk) 09:07, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wasn't too sure at first, but The Drover's Wife's comments have swayed me. A few more non-niche sources would be nice, but I agree that AEC registration (or the equivalent at state level) renders a party notable. IgnorantArmies(talk)01:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep' - I favor the lowest possible bar to inclusion of pieces on political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections, without regard to size or ideology.

Sourced largely to dead links, and as far as I can see there is pretty much nothing to support the proposition that there are "S Chip Scandals" out there. If there are, there should be convictions for fraud in the sources. This was nominated for deletion in 2011 along with other "scandal" articles but this one, unlike the others, resulted in a "no consensus" determination. Time to put this awful article out of its misery. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 20:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative Delete. All bar three of the links given are dead. Of the other three, two are subscription-only and one of those looks to be just a report of a winding-up and not about scandals in general (so it looks like they're perhaps being used for OR/synthesis or passing mentions?) and the third is just the front page of something (so probably a redirected dead link). Searching (and ignoring blogs and forums) I find passing mentions of, for example, "S-chip accounting scandal!" [24], "The S-chips scandal of 2008-09" [25] and "the S-Chips scandal in Singapore" (attributed to "says an analyst") [26], but I can't find any in-depth sources covering what the scandal actually was (The businessinsider.com source found by Jonpatterns only contains a passing of mention of "S-chips scandals [corporate scandals surrounding Chinese companies listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange]", and that's quoting someone else). It seems likely that the "scandal" existed as a concept, but without any actual descriptive coverage I don't see how Wikipedia can host an article about it. I'd hope maybe someone can find repairs to the broken links so we can see if there's any actual coverage? Squinge (talk) 10:54, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The first link is fixable with Wayback Machine, probably the other are too. One probably with S Chip is not everyone uses that term for Singapore chip.Jonpatterns (talk) 22:50, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The sources would need to support the position that there are indeed scandals involving S Chip makers, and that would have to be the focus of the articles. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 17:50, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The most significant award Wydo has won is 2014 Tournament MVP. I don't believe that qualifies under WP:NHOCKEY's fourth criterion for "preeminent honors". The article doesn't have sufficient sources to demonstrate notability under the GNG. PowersT17:54, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: Not quite correct: Wydo won, and the article states, First Team league All-Star honors, which does qualify under Criterion #4. Ravenswing 18:30, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware of that. Nonetheless, I consider the "first team league all-star" criterion extremely weak, particularly when it comes to college hockey leagues (which almost never have more than 12 teams). PowersT00:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I would not accept first team all-star of a tiny conference as "preeminent". Undrafted player, no indication of anything approaching a pro career on the horizon. Lets just call this what it is - an ego-driven creation of a nn player article by a now indef-blocked editor. Resolute18:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; the question is not whether there's coverage, but whether there's coverage that is unique to Wydo, and not just the sort of coverage that any college hockey player would receive. PowersT13:17, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again, though, I would contend that the "first-team All-Star" criterion is misapplied in the case of college hockey leagues. With only 6-12 teams per conference, it's not as significant an award as it would be in a 20- or 30-team minor professional or junior league. "All-American" is the criterion by which we should be evaluating college hockey players, as it's much more comparable. Keep in mind that these awards are supposed to serve as proxies -- they are selected as criteria because they are predictive about notable coverage being out there somewhere, even if the coverage hasn't been found yet. By that metric, first-team all-conference in college hockey really doesn't qualify. PowersT18:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All of the above aside, Wydo is a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, marking him as one of the ten best players in men's college hockey this year. Due to that development, I withdraw this nomination. But I would like to continue the discussion of the issues raised, somewhere. PowersT19:01, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Musician who does not appear to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Only two albums released: one was an independent release and the other was a self-release. Per WP:BEFORE, I tried to find better sources for the article, but was unable to find anything which might establish notability. Asked at both WT:MUSICIAN#Trevor Menear and WT:BIOG#Trevor Menear but only comment received so far was "AfD it". Did appear at SXSW, but so have lots of musicians/bands, so I'm not sure if that's even enough to establish notability per WP:BIO1E. Same for goes for the cover recorded for Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. Lots of Google hits to user-generated sources, social media sites and concert listings, but nothing representing any kind of significant coverage beyond an appearance on a local Chicago ABC affiliate.Marchjuly (talk) 07:56, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Coach articles are very rare in tennis... usually they are former notable players when they are notable. Otherwise requirements are any of the following that the player achieved while coached by the person in question:
The player has reached the final of or won one of the professional Grand Slam tournaments.
The player has entered the ATP or WTA rankings top-10 for at least one week.
The player was member of a champion team competing in a Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup (reserve players and team captains do not count).
The player has won an ATP Masters 1000 or WTA Premier event and has reached at least one other final in Masters 1000 or WTA Premier.
I don't see any of those requirements, and that would indicate a non-notable run-of-the mill coach of which there are countless thousands. But if it can be sourced that one of the requirements happened he would be notable per wikipedia tennis project.
Reply Your rationale is not inline with our notability guideline. According to WP:N, a topic is considered notable if meets either the general notability guideline below or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right. Antigng (talk) 12:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is in line with the notability guideline and nsports. It's just that in some cases a person also meets GNG which trumps the specific tennis protocol. Maybe he is a very unique person and he meets the GMG requirement. He does not meet it for anything he has done for tennis. If he has all kinds of articles written specifically about him as opposed to a mention that he was Cibulkova's coach for awhile, that might make him meet GNG. But for his tennis abilities he needs to meet that bare minimum. Otherwise every coach would be in here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Really close call but I'm swayed by the sources presented by Vejvančický that this individual passes GNG even if he doesn't meet the SNG low bar for athletes and even if articles on tennis coaches are "rare." A figure of national importance in his home country, it would seem. Carrite (talk) 21:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure what this is trying to say. Seems like it can be redirected to the name of the company and also has a opinion of the comic instead of it being about the comics. Either delete, userfy or redirect. Wgolf (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Raj Comics. Not sure that there's really significant coverage of this character. However, it's entirely possible that there are non-English sources available for use, so I think a redirect would be better than deletion. Plus, it seems like it might be a useful search term for fans of the comics.

Weak delete. I'm a bit on the fence on this one. He apparently has had a few acting roles in various series, but they aren't exactly the major roles that would satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER. For example, as far as I can find, he's only done an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya as well as supporting roles in various teleseryes. He hasn't been the subject of reliable coverage either (heck, he even lacks coverage from non-independent sources). Most of what I could find are fanpages. As an anecdote, I can confirm that he has several fans over here and he trends on Twitter on occasion, but neither of these are good claims to notability.

Fails WP:GEOLAND. Cannot be found on GNIS, and no geo-coordinates were placed on the article to help find it on a map. The only source is the unreliable New Jersey Locality Search. No reliable source could be found to verify this as a once-populated place (or any place at all). Magnolia677 (talk) 04:07, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Questions for nominator: How did you determine that the official state database of place names for New Jersey is an unreliable source? Why would you ask for this entry to be deleted rather than be converted into a redirect. How was I able to find the Arcadia Publishing article in a few nanoseconds, and you were not able to find it. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:27, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The place exists as described above by Richard. Therefore, there is no reason to delete it. It might be argued that, based on notability guidelines, it could be redirected to the geography section of Upper Freehold, the township within which it resides, but no reason exists to completely remove. Famartin (talk) 08:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As an aside, I would suggest to the original creator of the article that the two source guideline be followed; many articles by User:Tinton5 only have one source listed, which invites deletion. Famartin (talk) 08:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
TNT delete The real problem is this: if you go to the described location, there is no there there. That is, it's not an "unincorporated community"; it's just a crossroads with a couple of houses, and a little bit away, a tractor dealer. Well, and apparently an office park is being built there, judging from this url which can be seen on a sign in front of the tractor place. Taking every placename stuck on a map at face value produces a lot of largely spurious articles— not so much that the places don't "exist", but rather that what we say about them isn't really true. We could write something of an article about this placename, but about the only things from the current article which is true is the description of its location. Mangoe (talk) 12:10, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: - As the nominator of this deletion, I'm pleased that one reliable source has been provided to show this is a real place. That being said, my threshold for the creation of a stand-alone article is that I can find the settlement listed on GNIS as a "populated place" (not as a "locale"). I've created several articles about ghost towns in Mississippi, and chose not to add many former plantations, which were listed on GNIS as a locale (somewhere I read this was based on consensus). The question may be, what is the threshold for inclusion as a stand-alone article on Wikipedia? User:Mangoe's comment is well taken. This may need a fresh discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:26, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are seven historic homes here if this is correct. But the good news is that "The two houses on the corner are on the wrong corners as far as lining up the intersection" and "in order to align the intersection, one or both of these houses may have to be bought by the county and demolished" so there is hope yet for anyone wanting to get rid of this article. Thincat (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As this is not an incorporated place, it would help to actually look at WP:GEOLAND, which Magnolia677 references to justify deletion - "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally-recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it."GNIS is a reliable and verifiable source, but it is not sufficient in and of itself to establish notability. New Jersey Locality Search is also a reliable and verifiable source, but it too is not sufficient in and of itself to establish notability. The article for Fair Play, New Jersey created by Magnolia677 here with only a GNIS source does not meet the WP:GEOLAND notability standard. The article for Coxs Corner under discussion here did not meet this standard as created. I concur with those who specify a minimum two-source standard, and this is what the definition of "multiple, independent reliable sources" would appear to require. Under this clear definition of WP:GEOLAND, the original versions of the Fair Play and Coxs Corner articles should each have been turned into redirects to the parent municipality article (as Magnolia677 would seem to agree here, though he offers no acceptable rationale for deletion rather than turning it into a redirect). Data from GNIS is duplicated in other sources -- such as Google Maps, Mapquest and Zillow, among many other such mapping and location-based search sites -- and the use of a GNIS source combined with one of these GNIS mirrors does not constitute a second independent source. The book source added to the Coxs Corner article by RAN is a second independent source here and that meets this bare minimum multiple source standard, which is why the article as it currently exists should be retained per WP:GEOLAND. Alansohn (talk) 18:29, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fair Play is another "no there there" place name. If you look at any of the maps used as citations, not a single one that I can see has the place name on the map! The intersection in question is just that, and nothing more. Mangoe (talk) 20:49, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen others suggest both the NJ State Locator and GNIS are unreliable, but I disagree with them. Are errors possible? Sure, most works have some errors. Is most of the information correct? Yes, it would certainly seem to be. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Most of the unincorporated stubs could probably be expanded into non-stubs given adequate research. Notability does include the entire history of the site, so even if a location is not notable "now" it may have been (probably was) in the past. Of course, many of the smaller and more historic stubs probably don't have a lot of information on-line, so that would require (gasp) reading books and newspapers. Famartin (talk) 22:58, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The only practical use for the List of New Jersey Local Names is for locating which township a city or town is in. For any other use, it is of low accuracy. The New Jersey database lists cities, towns, rivers, mountaintops, and so forth, but doesn't differentiate between types of geographic locations. Included in that database you will find "Pond Run" in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, which GNIS lists as a stream; "Duck Island" in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, which GNIS lists as an island; "The Alligator" in Jackson Township, Ocean County, which GNIS lists as a "locale" (a locale is NOT a populated place); and my favorite, "Apple Pie Hill" (you can look that one up yourself!). Magnolia677 (talk) 23:07, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How is this unreliable? I still do not understand. Yes, it lists those things you pointed out, but they are not typographical errors. I think you are trying to say that the database doesn't have the level of detail that you would prefer. That is not an issue of reliability. These are historic geographic features or historical hamlets that appear in historic records of the state. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We've already discussed the Pond Run and Duck Island situations previously. Pond Run was a hamlet; historic maps make this clear. Duck Island is considered a section of Trenton (and, in fact, is no longer an island). Famartin (talk) 23:11, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The issue with GNIS (and one guesses the NJ site) isn't accuracy per se; it is and has always been notability. The mere knowledge of a placename is not sufficient evidence of notability. Mangoe (talk) 00:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I grant that. However, the lack of a current Wikipedia article, or an article's existence as merely a stub, is also not grounds of qualifying it as non-notable. Such a determination requires significant searching and research. Famartin (talk) 00:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wow...looking at this page now, it's incredible how much it expanded, thanks to many. At first, sure it may have been subject to deletion due to lack of third party sources, but now at its current state, even with a picture nonetheless, it definitely warrants an article. No one mentioned, but Coxs Corner is even signed on I-195 exit 11. It gets highly criticized due to its funny name, when locals pass by there. Tinton5 (talk) 01:48, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: - This article should be redirected, and it's information merged into the Wrightsville, New Jersey article.
This article states that Cox's Corner "is at the juncture of County Route 524 and County Route 43". So is Wrightsville (mentioned in the article). Here is Wrightsville's GNIS entry. Click on ACME Mapper and look at the TOPO map.
The article states, "Wrightsville just east of Cox’s Corner". To support this, the article lists two sources:
The first source, published by the State of New Jersey, acknowledges in THREE places that Wrightsville IS Cox's Corner (pages 4, 10 and 27).
The second source states "Cox's Corner in Upper Freehold Township. Monmouth County, a location later known as Wrightsville."
Did I miss something?
This source states: "Cox's Corner was inexplicably renamed Wrightsville".
This dialogue from what appears to be some smart New Jersey cookies refers to the marker at the settlement's location: "Cox's Corner at Imlaystown-Hightstown Road and Rt. 524 in Wrightsville. This one is set in stone."
Only this NPS nomination form differentiates Wrightsville from Cox's Corner, but it's confusing when you read it (to me anyway).
I have another concern. The article states, "the first appearance of Cox's Corner on a New Jersey map was in 1917". Really? The source cited states "although the Cox family had been in Upper Freehold since the 17th century, the author has not seen this placement on a map prior to 1917". Where's this New Jersey map, from an author publishing his book through Arcadia?
Merging is a separate proposal from deletion. That said, there is a decent argument for merging. I'm not sure of the rules on this, but you might have to wait for this debate to conclude before making a separate suggestion to merge. Also, this would not involve deletion; we would still keep a redirect to Wrightsville. The name Cox's Corner obviously has usage. Famartin (talk) 04:37, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (I voted keep above). I think there is a good case for merging Cox's Corner, Monmouth County, New Jersey and Wrightsville, New Jersey in some way. At the present time they certainly refer to the same place. In brief, historically Cox's Corner was founded first, then Wrightsville farmstead was established very near to the east, then Wrightsville stopped being called by a distinct name, now the people who live in the region of the two original farmsteads call the whole area Cox's Corner[31][32] and map makers and some NJ authorities seem to call it Wrightsville. The most interesting document is in the NRHP nomination written by the owner of a house that was undoubtedly built in a location known as Wrightsville at the time it was built. "On 19th century maps the small cluster of roadside houses near the Meeting House [i.e. 0.3 miles E of the crossroads] was identified as 'Wrightsville.' The name fell into disuse but reappeared on modern maps as the (erroneous) label for the Cox's Corner intersection, which is actually a short distance to the west along the same road. Recently, to our surprise, Wrightsville – which no longer exists as an entity – has been resurrected on the large signs for Exit 11 of Interstate 195."https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/NRHP/87002561_text PS: I am familiar with this problem in Scotland where maps and road signs often get place names "wrong" according to the locals.

Non-notable local TV program host lacking non-trivial references. Article created by COI - appears to be a vanity article. reddogsix (talk) 16:19, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The article is a mess and the COI of the creator is apparent, but here's a 1998 Chicago Tribune article that goes into some detail about Weber and his radio/TV career, describing him as having been "a Chicago radio celebrity during the 1960s." Full cite: Nina A. Koziol, "Hollywood And Vines: Ted Weber Once Rubbed Elbows With The Rich And Famous, But Now His Streator Garden Is The Star", Chicago Tribune, September 6, 1998. The article might be salvageable if more like this can be turned up, especially if there are reliable sources to verify the assertion that his show was syndicated nationally. Weber's website has a few other links to news articles, but the other articles only seem to mention his broadcast career in passing as they talk about his gardens, a local attraction in Streator, Illinois. [33] A caveat for searchers: GBooks turns up numerous references in Billboard to Ted Weber in Chicago during the relevant time frame, and some of them are references to the subject, but many mention a presumably different person, the sales manager at WGN. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:22, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly part of a promotional vanity push involving the creation of several new articles, probably by Mr. Weber himself. I had to dig deeply to find two mentions of the subject in 1960 copies of Billboard, both fleeting, and neither indicating any broadcast outside Chicago, although they did mention producers of On the Line were shopping for other markets. His programs fail WP:TVSHOW, and I'm afraid Mr. Weber fails general notability himself. Blackguard07:02, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article speaks for itself: he has appeared in several commercials for notables companies such as Samsung, Best Buy, EA Games, Mitsubishi among others, having a national and international rotation. In 2014, he co-wrote the film CUT! in 2014. If this article is deleted, we need to delete over hundreds of articles too but specially John Callen, which I took as an example to write this one. Karlhard (talk) 03:38, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of the perhaps tens of thousands of actors who have appeared in commercials for notable companies, what percentage of them would you say have been written up in the media or become household names? Was CUT! a notable film? IMDB shows that it went almost straight-to-DVD. Regarding comparisons to other articles, take a look at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete' Fails GNG and NACTOR. The article has no independent references, and the IMDb link does not support the claim that he wrote CUT. (The link at the page is to the wrong movie.) In those few cases where an actor became famous for commercials, it's because they were the FOCUS of a high-profile ad campaign - not because they appeared in lots of different commercials for different products. --MelanieN (talk) 20:30, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article has multiple issues which remained unresolved in the last few years. Most importantly, the notability of the website has not been established. – Editør (talk) 11:27, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – There are a fair number of cites on Google Scholar, indicating that scientists are using the data. For example, this paper from the Journal of Applied Ecology, and this guide for using the data in the International Waterbird Census. I didn't find an in-depth profile in a newspaper, which I would have preferred, but there were some hits for the smartphone app. Also many blog-type hits from around the world, which don't count for notability but are what you would expect for a "citizen science" site. – Margin1522 (talk) 14:21, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
