Completely unsourced article about a band with no strong claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC. The claim that they played the Vans Warped Tour is unverifiable in any reliable source coverage even on a Google search — so even if it is true, the likelihood is that they got to play a few songs on the local stage at one stop on the tour, which isn't enough to make a band notable on that basis. And the claim of inclusion on a compilation album is also unverifiable in any RS coverage, as well as being clobbered by the fact that it wasn't a notable compilation album (even discogs.com doesn't have a listing for it). And at any rate, it's not the claim to passing an NMUSIC criterion that gets a band past NMUSIC — it's the sourcing that can be provided to verify the accuracy of that claim, so a completely unsourced and unsourceable article wouldn't get to stay on Wikipedia even if it claimed every criterion in NMUSIC.

Delete Notability just isn't being demonstrated here. The existing article is so promotional sounding I dont know that its worth saving if notability could be demonstrated. We see a lot biographical articles on "entrepreneurs" in the Draft space lacking in references to reliable 3rd party sources, this is no different. Claims here just aren't backed up and appear to be taken from the subject's Linked In page (not a reliable souce). The only reference in the awards and recognition section is related to reality show. Those which might help establish notability such as Business World’s “Most Promising Entrepreneur Award” are not footnoted and I'm having difficulty finding refs to support them. I did move the economic times article citation to a more appropriate place in the article.

Comment. "Places" is a term we use throughout our categories and lists, as in Category:Lists of places by country, and such a list is easily limited to notable entries so as to make it discriminate. "Unsourced" is not a problem; only unverifiable is. And whether a notable place is or isn't "in Karachi" should certainly be verifiable. The only question I see is whether this would be better presented as a subsection in a Pakistan-wide list, or as a list of lists of different kinds of places in Karachi, or just cleaned up as is. postdlf (talk) 18:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find it hard to distinguish the subject's notabilty because of the original author's persistent vandalism of the page. That author (Wikisaichan) is a single-purpose account, who alternates with a single-purpose IP (118.1.138.55) making similar edits. They consistently add inappropriate material, remove maintenance tags, wreck the formatting, and refuse to engage on the Talk pages (either the article's or the User Talk page). As an example of how it makes assessment difficult, I just checked the first 12 references in "Career", and they are all either dead links or do not mention anything that supports the statement in the article. I have removed this sort of thing all too often in the past, only to have it put back by this editor. At that point, the will to live was fading so I had to stop - but I'm sure you get the point. The only half-way reasonable references seem to be the interviews in 3rd-strike.com and the Mercenar blog (though I can't evaluate the Japanese sources).--Gronk Oz (talk) 04:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The arguments made to retain the article have presented policy backed reasoning; these arguments state that the lists are notable to the world and also pass WP:GNG's requirements. One of the key pieces to the disagreement on the requests for deletion seems to be a lack of understanding, particularly on how important this information is outside of the Unites States. As we are not the Unites States Wikipedia, but instead the worldwide English Wikipedia, it is important that we recognize the global perspective of this site. That being said, the main point brought up by the requests for deletion is that this article falls into the essay WP:LISTCRUFT's domain. - Even though this argument stems from an essay, not a policy or guideline, it is used regularly as a de facto guideline in this arena. Therefore, we shall look at the requirements for this essay to fall into said category:

The list was created just for the sake of having such a list
Not applicable to this list.
The list is of interest to a very limited number of people
Not applicable to this list. (This information is useful to a worldwide audience.)
The list is a violation of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information
Not applicable to this list.
The content is unverifiable or the underlying concept is non-notable
Not applicable to this list. The lists' information would be notably inclusive on the parent articles.
The list cannot be expanded beyond a handful of terms
Not applicable to this list.
The list is unlimited and/or unmaintainable
Not applicable to this list.
The list has no content beyond links to other articles, so would be better implemented as a (self-maintaining) category
Not applicable to this list.
The list is unencyclopaedic, i.e. it would not be expected to be included in an encyclopaedia.
This determination is made in a continuously evolving system and is too vague of a point to be taken into account in these discussions; we are not a paper encyclopedia. Therefore, this point is not applicable to this list.
Determining membership of the list requires adoption of a non-neutral point of view, and reliable sources for avoiding it are not available.
Not applicable to this list.
Determining membership of the list involves original research or synthesis of ideas.
Not applicable to this list.
The list's membership is volatile and requires a disproportionate amount of effort to keep up to date.
Not applicable to this list.
The list attracts the addition of little that is of clear importance or even relevance in the context of the topic.
Not applicable to this list.

So as we see this seemingly easy argument for this article to not be retained, does not hold up to a test of site-wide consensus. Therefore, the request for these lists to be deleted, is denied by the community and the greater backed policy consensus. These lists are found to be notable to the worldwide community, and are therefore retained. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 22:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all: Obviously, a notable article. What else do you mean by notable list of goals, User:Qed237? He is the all-time top goalscorer of Sweden and you are saying this article is not notable? See this before you nominate any such article for deletion. — Swastik Chakraborty (User talk) 20:47, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So why are you nominating List of international goals scored by João Vieira Pinto who is a more notable player than Sunil Chhetri. Qed237 (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BabbaQ: People consider Peyton Manning to be one of the greatest NFL players of all time, but why haven't we seen "List of touchdowns scored by Peyton Manning"? That's because throwing a touchdown is so minor. Manning holds the record for most NFL touchdowns thrown by a quarterback, with 539. That's something that can be noted in the Peyton Manning article. If we compare that to a list like "List of goals scored by Ronaldo", it's really not much different. CatcherStorm ^talk 02:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete - I admit to a certain personal bias here, but I really cannot see how this is anything other than listcruft. The information about how many goals a player has scored surely belongs in the article about them, and as for which specific games they scored in, that is unencyclopedic trivia. --bonadea contributions talk 11:18, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all. In some cases, the coverage of international goals from a player is global, e.g. in the case of Ibrahimović. His article is large enough such that a fork can be created to cover his international goals. Whether or not you have a "personal bias" (which is bad in these discussions), this kind of article, particularly related to a country's top scorer, is fully justifiable.

Keep all there's no policy or guideline based reason from all those who oppose, they just don't like it. Most of these list articles are rubbish, which would lend a tendency to delete, but referencing them and adding a bit of prose would make decent articles. Most of this lists are reasonable forks from long main bio articles and are justifiable as standalone. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:52, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Is there some kind of competition around here to make the biggest point by nominating stuff we actually believe should stay, just because someone else nominated something we like for deletion? Get a grip folks. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all "Non notable list of goals" is a pretty meagre justification for deletion. With the exception of Chhetri, all have substantial parent articles that could not reasonably contain this list, which is, in my opinion, encyclopaedic content. Chhetri is more of a borderline case, and I would not object to a merge in that case. Harrias ^talk 21:12, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all There have been various conversations on this in the past, and no doubt an article which simply lists goals could be non-notable, however, in terms of number of goals, profile and most importantly, reporting by reliable sources, these are fairly clearly valid articles as I see it. A discussion at WT:FOOTY about what the line for such articles could be would be far more useful than debating short lists here over and over again. Macosal (talk) 03:03, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm of the personal view that these "list of goals" articles (along with cricket's "list of centuries" articles and several similar) are WP:NOTSTATS violations; but that they've become so widely used that it represents a soft consensus to the contrary, so I'm not going to challenge that (i.e. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as a basis for not deleting). I'm merely going to agree strongly with Macosal that the soccer project needs to propose and agree upon a formal guideline for when these pages become valid. Aspirex (talk) 06:02, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional thought: The List of international cricket centuries by... series of articles is probably the best analogue for the soccer goals articles. The problem as I see it is simply as follows: it is customary for all players have a table on their page which lists all of their goals (or centuries). When that table becomes so long that it impacts the readability of the main page, it gets SPUNOUT into its own page. As a page in its own right, the spin-out probably doesn't meet notability guidelines. So we're stuck between three unfavourable outcomes: an article with an unreadably long table, or a non-notable spin-out, or the content being lost for players with lots of goals but retained for players with very few. Maybe the best solution is to merge every "List of goals..." article to the player page, and format the table as a default-to-hide collapsible table – that would allow any relevant commentary to be covered in prose, means the content wouldn't be lost, but wouldn't affect the readability. But I suppose that's far beyond the scope of this AfD. Aspirex (talk) 11:15, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Indeed, it is beyond the scope of this individual AFD. However, it is worth remembering that MOS discourages collapsed tables, see MOS:COLLAPSE for more information. There's not reason that this kind of list can't have a decent prose introduction covering the goals, e.g. List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney is one such example. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - A collapsible table is still the least of four evils. Aspirex (talk) 06:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, it's an absurd cop-out, to advocate contravening the manual of style. It would render any article with such a flaw ineligible for FA, for a start. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Serious doubts regarding notability - I am a regular editor of articles about American college sports, pro football (American, that is), pro baseball, and Olympic swimming. Admittedly, I only occasionally edit American soccer articles for our national women's team members. I'm not an expert. That said, I find it rather odd that anyone would think to list every score of any athlete's career . . . why not a list of all 714 career homeruns of Babe Ruth? Or all 420 touchdown passes of quarterback Dan Marino? Or all 61 of Roger Maris' homeruns during his record-setting 1961 season? Or all 90 of Hope Solo's shutouts as a goalkeeper? Why not all of the 4,409 plays that contributed to Emmitt Smith's 18,355 rushing yards in the NFL? At some point we cross the line from sports alamanc-like data to mere trivia of the most trivial character . . . . We are an encyclopedia, and by its very nature an encyclopedia must summarize events, emphasizing the most noteworthy highlights over listing every occurrence. These appear to be obvious violations of WP:NOTSTATS. There are also serious notability questions present here: WP:GNG requires that an article subject receive significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources in order to qualify for a stand-alone article. WP:LISTN requires that the subject of a list be notable as a group. The only sources for these articles are lists of goals from the football/soccer statistics website RSSSF; most sports projects typically discount sports stats websites as either trivial or WP:ROUTINE. How about some coverage of these international goals -- as a group, not as individual scores -- from mainstream news sources like Le Monde, L'Equipe, O Estado or O Globo? Please feel to link several two or three of the best examples of what you believe is significant coverage of the career goals of each of Ronaldo, Zidane and Chhetri? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 07:13, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think scoring goals for your country is somewhat more of an achievement that hitting home runs for your club, or throwing touchdowns for your franchise. "Shutouts" are not usually considered that exceptional, after all a goalkeeper could "make a shutout" without actually needing to touch the ball. An international goal can only be attributed to a single individual. And that the most successful players score maybe 50 or so in their entire career puts some perspective on the other mega-stats you've mentioned. I can't speak for sources for these individuals, but in the case of Wayne Rooney, multiple reliable sources cover his international goals and the long and dreary wait for him to break the existing record. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:01, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
TRM, you wrote, "I think scoring goals for your country is somewhat more of an achievement that hitting home runs for your club, or throwing touchdowns for your franchise." If you're unfamiliar with Babe Ruth, I would urge you to read the Wikipedia article, then do a quick Google search on "Babe Ruth 714," and see how many full-length books you find on the subject. Wikipedia notability is defined by significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, not our perception of the subject's importance. If scoring football goals for one's country is the notable achievement you suggest, then it should not be so hard to produce two or three feature newspaper articles that discuss in depth each of these three footballer's international scoring histories, right? I will also add that nothing stops interested editors from summarizing these athletes' international scoring histories in their Wikipedia biographies. What is at issue is whether these complete lists of individual players' scoring histories merit stand-alone articles based on the Wikipedia concept of notability per WP:GNG and WP:LISTN. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:56, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure you're right about Babe Ruth, I have little inclination to pursue a search on that, and outside the microcosm of American baseball, the record is somewhat meaningless. Association football and its records span the globe, the whole planet plays "soccer" and as such these kind of lists have global interest. But honestly, we're talking about apples and oranges here. International goals for footballers are rare, whereas home runs, touchdowns, shut-outs in local games are commonplace. To be the top scorer for your country is super-rare, i.e. there's one, per country. The summaries were included, but they got expanded, then forked out. There are examples of these kinds of lists which have decent introductions, independent and good references discussing the goals as a whole. I have already told you that I'm not able to do that for these examples, my Swedish, French, Portuguese etc is not as accomplished as I'd like. While you can call for GNG and LISTN, if they're allowable for incorporation in a biography, you have you answer as to why they can stand alone for biographies that are too bloated. As an example, I'll point you at Wayne Rooney's list, which, naturally I crafted and made superb, almost legendary. Rooney's goals for England were extensively covered as he approached, and eventually took, the record. If you give me a year or two to learn Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish and French (mais oui!), I'll try to source the other lists in the same way. It would be odd if the leading scorers for those nations didn't have a similar amount of interest and covereag. On another note, there are dozens of cricket century lists too, do you object to those? It would be useful to know what's coming up. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all: As per The Rambling Man. Also, these are very informative and encyclopedic lists. In Cricket we do have lists of "centuries" and "5 wicket hauls". Some of them are featured list. In football we can have list of goals of notable players. All of them are notable. Chhetri is top goal scorer of India. He too deserves list. So, there is no problem in keeping all of these.--Human3015^{Let It Go} 18:32, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Zlatan's list is notable in its own right as he's Sweden's top goalscorer. But I see where Qed237 is going with this; it may get out of hand. Is there anything to stop me creating List of goals scored by Dixie Dean in 1928? I wouldn't say Zidane's goalscoring record for the national team defined his career, like it has done with Keane, Henry and Rooney. He is France's 4th highest goalscorer (which is impressive for a midfielder), but he was the face of a multicultural team. His role was that of a creator, regardless of how many goals he scored. Lemonade51 (talk) 22:14, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore they shouldn't be nominated in the same AFD? --SuperJew (talk) 22:23, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps not. My stance is this; there has to a clear and cohrent criteria for lists such as these. Otherwise there's nothing to stop clumping lists together for AFD. We've already established that Zlatan is his country's top goalscorer, which, de facto, meets the notability cretria. Zidane, by contrast, is not his nation's top goalscorer. He has the name, but for me it would tread a fine line between noteworthiness and achievement. His biggest achievement for his national team wasn't scoring goals (yes, he was a big-game player, he scored twice in a WC final), but he isn't (only) remembered for goals. He wasn't destined to score, but to orchestrate. Zidane was the symbol of blanc-black-beur, l'effet Zidane so they say in France. Sure, more prose would make things a lot better, but can't justify keeping a list with two sentences, and no context. Lemonade51 (talk) 22:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"No evidence"? There are, of course, indictments, arrests, in Sweden as well as in German cities. Government officials describing the phenomenon. And, indelicate to mention, but that's a pretty narrow - not to say sexist, perspective.

redirect to "recent hype", which is not a hype but a problem. A searchable term. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:56, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not an eligible solution since the Swedish press is also all over this Aerabic term because of an outbreak of groping and sexual intimidation at a teen rock concert last summer. Swedes are pretty horrified by the idea of gangs of men surrounding and groping 14- and 15-year-old concertgoers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:45, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- P.S. About being actually a thing, yes it is, in some sexist and sexually-repressed cultures, see e.g. "Eve teasing". You have to admit that we (wikipedians) are 98% ignorant amateurs (outside of our area of expertise/training), therefore unfortunately I don't know a better redirect target for a generic article about this type of sexual violence. Also the transription "gamea" from "jamai" is quite inept. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - BTW, the piped link "recent hype" is a link to New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany. That wasn't clear. I've spelled it out. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is the rationale for deletion? If it does not warrant a standalone article, wouldn't it be better merged with street harassment or sexual harassment? (I would have added the term to one of those articles instead of creating this one but, like Eve teasing, it didn't seem a great fit with either.) — AjaxSmack 02:57, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- AjaxSmack, what was your rationale for creating[5] the article in the first place? You based your addition entirely on news articles published in the last 48 hours. Why didn't you just write about this in the suggested articles? At best, this seems to be a neologism. Peter ^Isotalo 12:09, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I came to Wikipedia looking for information on the practice and couldn't find it so I boldly created a stub as I have in several other cases over the years. With the limited sources available to me, I wasn't sure exactly how it related to street harassment or sexual harassment. The idea was the stub could be fleshed out by those with more knowledge of the subject and/or that it could be merged with the appropriate article. WP:NEOLOGISM does not apply. As e.g. guanxi is not simply "connexions", sources posit that taharrush gamea is substantively different from generic street harassment or sexual harassment. And Wikipedia is hardly a vanguard "to increase usage of the term" in this case as is illustrated by sources and links noted below. I can understand if you feel the term should be a redirect but I'm still not sure why it needs to be deleted. — AjaxSmack 23:56, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE “Taharrush gamea” is simply Arabic for “collective harrasment”: the term is used very recently in the press about the event in Cologne because the perpetrators seem to be migrants, but no study — sociological or otherwise — talk about it being a specially Arabic phenomenon. When it happens in an English-speaking country, it's called “harrasment”; in French it's “harcèlement”; in German “Belästigung” in Arabic it's “تحرش”: we should not create an article for every language. --Superbenjamin (talk) 09:30, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article needs to undergo a serious scrutiny. I have removed plenty of content that was completely unreferenced, based on obviously unreliable sources like Infowars.com (run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones), or that used sources simply reporting on recent sexual harassment without making any connection to this term. The remaining attestations are all directly related to the news reporting relating to New Year's Eve in Köln. At the very least, this seems like a politicized neologism. Peter ^Isotalo 10:21, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
ABSOLUTELY DELETE: The concept of collective rape being a uniquely Arab or Muslim phenomenon, or even having some form of casual acceptance in Arab culture specifically, is so obviously a fabrication that I can't comprehend how anyone could even consider for a second that it's factually accurate, let alone objective, neutral, or depoliticized. This article doesn't describe a phenomenon distinct from already-existing concepts of collective rape - unless you happen to be viewing it through a very particular lens.

- This is not how Swedish media are reporting on the issue. There's a very heated debate, but nothing about it being organized. It also seems to be limited to a single festival (We Are Sthlm).[8] A criminal investigation was just laid to rest,[9] but there is going to be an investigation about whether the problem actually exists or not[10] (besides the "normal" festival raping that has been going on for years[11][12][13][14][15]) One 15-year-old has been charged so far for groping at We Are Sthlm.[16] And no one seems to be using the term "taharrush" about any of it. Peter ^Isotalo 16:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as neologism. Article relies entirely on sources from the past few days.

Strong delete absolutely unnecessary article--Opdire657 (talk) 23:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: and kudos to Empiricus-sextus. We have done some work on the German article, which was in a similar poor state before. There are two reasons for a keep: First, Taharrush is a about a strategy started by Egyptian police forces and hired thugs to use sexual harrassment as a means of politics, denying (activist) women access and participation at public rallies and demonstrations. This has been covered in various research papers, NGO studies and serious media. Second, the behavior has spread as well to young men in their prime using it as an everlasting spring break on the cost of young women and girls in public spaces. Thats been covered by similar high quality sources. That said, its not a mere sort of sexual harrassment but a new type of molesters flashmob with a political cloud in Egypt, including some changes in the penal law. Therefore keep - in the updeted version. Polentarion Talk 01:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. In addition, judging from this Gender Research paper, it appears that "taharrush" is a social activity/activism by Muslim men to achieve public humiliation of women. Making this publicly (i.e. in the public space) is required for humiliation. Here is another scholarly source about it. My very best wishes (talk) 02:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This source does not define the phenomenon as you do. The article makes it very clear that the phenomenon at hand is called "sexual harassment" and refers to it in its Arabic form in order to specify the legal struggle of defining harassment. The very title makes that plain enough. The article by the way does not refer to "Muslim men" but to the gendered nature of space in Egypt. As it stands, neither the term "Muslim" or "Islam" are present in the document, and the word "Islamic" is employed as a quote of one of the parties of a conflict. There may be sources providing a defition of a hypothetical phenomenon such as the one you provide, but this clearly is not one. 88.105.128.78 (talk) 09:25, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG KEEP The article is well-sourced and is not biases. It discusses a real activity that people will seek to understand.Kmccook (talk) 02:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to discuss the fact that Taharrush gamea is presented as a distinct and somehow new form of sexual harassment:

Sources in the article use the term Taharrush gamea as the local term for “collective harassment” in Egypt: nothing justifies creating an article for a mere translation.
Scientific articles study the phenomenon of sexual harassment in the Egyptian context, especially during the Revolution and as a political tool, but the fact these studies exist does not mean sexual harassment is specific to Egypt. Sexual harassment is a universal phenomenon with particularities in every country/situation: if the topic of the article is sexual harassment in Egypt, it should be called Sexual harassment in Egypt. Nothing in the sources point to taharrush as a distinct concept from Sexual harassment or as something typical of Arab or Muslim countries.
All sources about Taharrush being spread in Europe are VERY recent (not more than a few weeks) and most of them are based on a single report from the German police.

It is also necessary to recall that harassment or rape of women in the public space by men or groups of men is a well-documented phenomenon in Western societies ([26], [27], [28], [29], [30], etc.): presenting it with a foreign word as if it was something foreign is really worrisome for the neutrality of Wikipedia. --Superbenjamin (talk) 09:15, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your examples are not on point since they show that sexual crimes happens the world over. However, this discussion is about a specific type of sexual assault, carried out by a group of men who surround and physically detain a woman in a crowd, forcibly detaining her while they grope her, force their hands into her clothing, sometimes remove some or all of her clothing, rob her, and verbally taunt and humiliate her, and sometimes rape her and/or beat her, before they themselves disappear into the crowd and escape. There are a number of types of sexual assault. This discussion focuses on this specific type.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's precisely my point: there is no source demonstrating that this type of assault originated in Egypt or the Arab world. If an article is needed about Egypt, it should be Sexual harassment in Egypt. If an article is needed about collective harassment, it has no reason to have a name in Arabic and should be Collective harassment. --Superbenjamin (talk) 12:48, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your title shows a failure to grasp the topic, since forcible groping is not "sexual harrassment"; it is sexual assault. There could perhaps be an article about "group sexual assault" separate from gang rape as a wider phenom, but this article has sources asserting that this is a culturally specific phenomenon that emerged in Egypt, recently, first as a police tactic to suppress female participation in protest demonstrations, and was then taken up by groups of young men for the sheer joy of assaulting women. There are sources supporting this, and we should keep this discussion focused.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:03, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In which case using the Arabic term for "harassment" is even wronger. 88.105.128.78 (talk) 21:17, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lara Logan's account of her attacks in Egypt gives an example of the level of violence. If Wikipedia is to be a reliable source for women as well as men it cannot cover up men's behavior whatever the culture. ^[1]Kmccook (talk) 13:04, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Sources describe this primarily as a public humiliation of European women by groups of Muslim men in public places that involves sexual harassment and frequently a robbery. This looks like a distinct phenomenon.My very best wishes (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please, show me the sources “asserting that this is a culturally specific phenomenon”: none of the scientific sources say that, but there are plenty of examples of collective assaults on women outside of the Arab World. I don't understand how it is possible to ignore the fact that “taharrush gamea” means “collective harassment”: in Egypt, sexual harassment by the police or any other person is called that. There is absolutely no argument for using another term than “collective harassment” (or “assault”) in English.

“cover[ing] up men's behavior whatever the culture”? But this article implies a universal phenomenon is Arabic, despite evidences it's not the case: that‘s covering up rape culture in the West and the rest of the world (and racism).

“public humiliation of European women by groups of Muslim men in public places”: where on earth have you read that!? In Egypt, Egyptian women are the first victims of assaults, harassment and rapes, especially when this ‘technique’ is used by the government against activists. Transforming that in a assault of Muslims against white women is a racist manipulation of the facts. --Superbenjamin (talk) 15:34, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It only matters how this term is currently used in English language sources. Right now the term is actively used in English, German, Russian, Swedish and Norwegian language sources. Speaking about collective harassment (note that word "sexual" is missing), yes, perhaps that might be an appropriate alternative name or redirect, however sources on these languages do not actually use this term. Speaking about Arabic, yes, this is obviously relevant - as an etymology of the term. My very best wishes (talk) 16:01, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And now the arguments to keep: it cannot be said that the Köln +Hamburg +Frankfurt +Stuttgart +Bielefeld +Düsseldorf +Helsinki +Malmö +Helsingborg +Karlstad +Kalmar+ others events aren't notable.

Pldx1 (talk) 14:17, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP: This does seem to be distinct from other forms of sexual and street harassment, and it is held to be a new tactic/phenomenon which emerged initially out of the activities of the Egyptian security forces. If it is a recognisable and novel tactic of oppression then it is deserving of a distinct name (even if - or perhaps especially because - it has gone viral from it's original incarnation). The arguments in favour of deletion seem to be 1) that it doesn't exist, 2) that if certain behaviours do exist, they are not distinct from harrassment, and that "Taharrush gamea" is no more than a new term for an old behaviour. It's not the role of wikipedia editors to define what does and does not exist, even if it were fictional and fantasy elements even homeopathy have pages. It may be a page that gets culled in time, but at least while people believe this to be happening, and absolutely while there is evidence that this is a distinct behaviour that developed during the policing of protests in Egypt it is certainly a thing that exists in reality and there is a literature on politically motivated sexual violence in Egypt.

I'm going to quote from an article directly because not all of you may have access to academic journals

In "Understanding Politically Motivated Sexual Assault in Protest Spaces: Evidence from Egypt (March 2011 to June 2013), Tadros (Social Legal Studies March 30, 2015) notes:

"In analysing several incidents in Tahrir Square, Shash (2013) argued that they have common characteristics:

1. they take place in squares and public spaces associated with protests;

2. they happen during times when protests and demonstrations are held;

3. the assaulted are disproportionately activists, whether women or men (even though there have been assaults on citizens who have no history of political activism);

4. sexual violence is used in conjunction with other forms of violence;

5. sexual violence is not enacted on a one-to-one basis but through a group of men, collectively and simultaneously assaulting the victim; and

6. sexual assault does not occur in a passing moment, but is sustained over a period of time."

Which seems to have some correlations with accounts from Cologne Tadros further notes that it is difficult to define, describe the behaviour because it is novel.

And "there is still a gap in international studies of MPR [Multiple Perpetrator Rape] in politically tumultuous, non-war settings. For example, the Harkins and Dixon’s 2010 classification of different contexts of multiple perpetrator sexual offending include (among a long list) rape in war, prison rapes and rape in countries under corrupt governments. Technically, none of these quite describe the Egypt context in which politically motivated sexual assault occurred in 2011–2013 under two different non-war governments (military and Islamist), which are best described as ‘politically unstable’ rather than corrupt per se and sexual assault was not only occurring in prisons but in open public squares as well.

Whilst it is difficult to establish empirically and categorically the motivations for sexual assault in Egypt, this should not deter scholars’ and researchers’ efforts from seeking to disentangle the various drivers of sexual violence at different junctures and spaces"^[1]

^ "Understanding Politically Motivated Sexual Assault in Protest Spaces Evidence from Egypt (March 2011 to June 2013)". "Social & Legal Studies". Sage Journals. March 30, 2015. doi:10.1177/0964663915578187. Retrieved 14 January 2016. Tadros, M. (2015). Behind a Sage publications paywall

It could be argued that the behaviours alleged in Cologne are distinct from what happened in Tahir Square (perhaps because they are depoliticised), but that will emerge in time, and it is not the role of amateur wiki sleuths to decide that issue.

Finally the name is useful not least because it is being used as the name for this activity in mainstream media and, English in particular has a strong tradition of borrowing words from other languages to describe new things from shampoo to assassins.

This article is indeed pretty helpful in evaluating the situation at hand. It argues, for instance, that "the aggregation of politically and socially motivated sexual assault on account of their common patriarchal basis may be analytically unhelpful. Patriarchal, hyper masculine values do not necessarily bear a causal relationship with sexual violence. Wood (2013: 146) points to countries such as Sri Lanka that have rigid gender hierarchies subordinating women yet do not experience high prevalence of sexual assault in conflict.", thus making a clear point that the type of violence it studies is neither "Muslim", nor "Arab", but indeed political. This is reinforced by the fact that the author insists that the study related to "sexual assault against women (although men have been sexually assaulted too), in a particular space (protest space) and in a particular political moment (in a country experiencing political turmoil after a dictatorship of 30 years was overthrown after a popular uprising)", a definition of the object which clearly rules out Germany, or any other Northern European country - or indeed any situation which is not the sexual violence committed against women in Tahrir Square - from its scope. This is finally clarified when the author states, at the beginning of their case study, that "The Egyptian regime has a long history of deploying sexual assault against women and men to repress, curb and punish political dissidents. A number of intertwining contextual factors sustained a culture of silence and impunity in relation to sexual assault, irrespective of their motivation including (i) the deeply entrenched social more associated with honour being embodied in the sexual purity of women, (ii) the legal framework and (iii) the political will and practices of the ruling regimes". An assertion which is reinforced by the conclusion of the article which insists on comprehending the phenomena "By examining the culture, politics and legal framework governing GBV in Egypt during this time". To say the least, these elements indicate that for the matter at hand, this article makes the very point of the people who oppose the creation of this page, which is that it associates to the forms of repressive sexual violence in Egypt - which deserve to be talked about - every other form of sexual violence commited by Arab or Muslim men in public places, because in both case the perpetrators are Arabs, regardless of the context in which such violence is committed. This has the triple effect of 1. compromising Wikipedia's integrity by conveying racist prejudice, 2. ruling out every form of sexual violence in festive context and in public places in Europe in which the perpetrators are not Arab or Muslim men, and 3. blurring the definition of the phenomenon of political sexual violence in Egypt by entirely ruling out the fact that by all accounts it has been a policy aimed at repressing social opposition to an authoritarian regimes. In the meantime, as there is strictly no evidence that the events in Cologne derive from the same type of phenomena as the repressive sexual violence observed in 2011 and 2013 onwards in Egypt, it remains over-interpretive to associate them, especially when that association rules out cases which appear to be much more accurate in a comparison, such as sexual violence in the Férias de Nîmes in the French context. To put it more clearly: Egypt is not Germany, German party-goers are not Tahrir demonstrators, and the attackers in Germany were not Egyptian policemen. Hence, the comparison between these two things is extremely dubious. All of which, by the way, is beside the point if we consider that the debate is to know whether a specific page with a translitterated Arabic title, since the author does not employ the term in their article, except in one occasion because it is the name of an Egyptian NGO. If we can all agree that it is not for Wikipedia "sleuths" to establish whether the term is adequate, it also happens that it is Wikipedia's responsibility to decide if it wants to endorse a category which is so far employed by only one source - the German police - thus rendering it natural for further use - and we do see which it is even in this very page - or not. Wikipedia does not have to endorse every rumour out there, in a nutshell. Especially when the effects of endorsing these is to directly have an effect on a political rationale (which is now more than clear from every use of the term quoting Wikipedia as a proof that refugees are all rapists and should be kicked out of Europe, a fact that we cannot shrug away). 88.105.128.78 (talk) 17:22, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you aware that half of my contribution consists in quotes from the exact same scolarly source that you find "appropriate and convincing" and shows that the article has been misquoted in the contribution I was answering to, or did you just think "tl;dr, I'll just patronise everyone and not read the other people's arguments" on that one? Connees' argument is a case of WP:OR, which is precisely the point I make by quoting the source. Since you don't seem to have the time to read what someone says before answering - very uninterestingly so, if I may - let me summarise it for you, so that you don't have to confront yourself with too much reading from the research paper which I quote in my first paragraph: the article from Tadros says the exact contrary of what Connees tells it says.

Sorry, but your posts are difficult to understand. Here is the source and it is clearly written.

Redirect to Rape in Egypt or Move to Sexual harassment in Egypt or Sexual assault in Egypt. The current title is essentially just taking the Egyptian pronunciation of the Arabic word for collective harassment and assigning it to an article about groups of people committing sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape in Egypt, and this title makes it more difficult for English-speaking readers to find what they're looking for when sifting through categories or doing a search of Wikipedia. A clear plain-English title can help people who have heard of the problem but don't have a word for it, while redirects using this term (and similar terms in Arabic) can help people who have heard or seen the term but don't know what it is. Moving the content into plain-English article titles also helps keep Wikipedia consistent, matching other articles like Rape in Germany and Rape in France.

So, according to this source, "As the Cologne police reports, they have now received more than 500 complaints, 40% of which relate to allegations of sexual assault. On Friday, the interior ministry said Germany’s federal police had identified 32 suspects ... The German minister of Justice Heiko Maas has said he believes that the sexual assaults in Cologne were ‘coordinated and prepared’ ahead of time." Points to note: (a) only 40% of attacks are related to sexual assault (yes, that was a gender-oriented assault, but not necessarily sexual), and (b) the attacks have been prepared in advance and involved very large number of people: thousands attackers and hundreds victims. That is what makes this phenomenon unique and worthy a separate page. This is not merely a rape or harassment. My very best wishes (talk) 20:09, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a cultural phenomenon that deserves its own article. First and foremost, there are many documented occurrences from several countries. It is not an isolated event. Plus it has history - it is not new. This is a political expression towards women who do not dress a certain way and the political intent is to humiliate and shame women into compliance with a strict political ideology. Yes, sexual harassment occurs all around the globe as does gang rape. They are each isolated to the twist thinking of the perpetrators. However, in this article, the use of sexual molestation is for political use with a goal and purpose in mind. Research into sexual abuse of women for political purposes did not just start in Germany this past year. Dig into articles written by Arab women in the early 2000's and you will read of government men raping women who are activists - or whose husbands were activists. It has evolved into non-government activity by groups of citizens who make a political statement against Western dress/values. We need to keep this article as it isa real existing topic.

Keep. The notability of this topic is obvious from a Google search, and the sources refer to it as a specific phenomenon, not merely a synonym for harassment.

BBC: "The report describes a modus operandi known as "taharrush gamea" in Arabic, meaning group sexual harassment in crowds, and compares it to incidents reported in Cairo's Tahrir Square at the time of the Egyptian revolution."
New York Times: "The sexual attacks on women in Cologne and other European towns and cities (Kalmar, Sweden; Salzburg, Austria; Zurich; and Helsinki, Finland) that have been attributed largely to men of Arab or North African descent seem to be the phenomenon known as "taharrush jami`" -- a deliberate, organized sexual harassment of women by large groups of men."
Gatestone Institute: ""Cultural enrichment" has brought us a new word: Taharrush. Remember it well, because we are going to have to deal with it a lot. Taharrush is the Arabic word for the phenomenon whereby women are encircled by groups of men and sexually harassed, assaulted, groped, raped. After the Cologne taharrush on New Year's Eve, many German women bought pepper spray. Who can blame them?"
India Times: "When the first incidents of women being assaulted by crowds of Arab men came out of Cologne, Germany, during New Years Eve, the news was being suppressed. Realisation it seems has now dawned and the German Federal Criminal Police Office, BKA, says that the alleged Arab rape game Taharrush is now in Europe."
Associated Press: " Police fear that the Arabic gangrape phenomenon ‘Taharrush’ has spread to German cities after a series of sexual attacks on women during the New Year.

Taharrush refers to collective harassment of women that is often carried out by large groups of men. These men assault lone women, either by groping or raping them. These men surround their victims in circles. Some of the men sexually assault women, while others often watch the women being assaulted.

Sometimes, the victim also gets robbed by these men during the ordeal.

These attacks on women frequently go unpunished as it becomes difficult to trace those who carried out the assaults."

Information: The german WP decision was KEEP.--Empiricus-sextus (talk) 18:21, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, the German Wikipedia has found a solution: de:Taharrush gamea is explaining the creation of that word by the federal police (internal document) and a news paper citing them (Die Welt) and a broad criticism of this creation. The most associated parts and examples are moved because they are not part of that lemma, in acceptance of the main author Polentarion (which is the main author of the english article too), into the article de:Sexuelle Gewalt in Ägypten. That would be the correct version. Otherwise you should delete because of OR. -- 77.64.190.242 (talk) 15:48, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Until now there is no-Consensus to reduce this phenomena only in this direction. "BKA-Explanation and critic". There is only the consensus to build a wide lemma - for all sexual attacks in Egypt. Greetings. --Empiricus-sextus (talk) 18:16, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

note Here's Josef Joffe in today's Wall Street Journal: "Young Christian males also don’t always obey Miss Manners when traveling in packs. But their culture doesn’t have a word for taharrush gamea, as practiced in some Arab lands: a group-grope where young men encircle women to jeer, molest and rob them.[32].E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:58, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as was also noted in New York Times article, this is partly a cultural phenomenon: "If women are out and about in the street without a male escort, then, under this attitude, they are fair game for groping, or worse, by any man". That is exactly what I have seen during old Soviet times in places like Bukhara - women tourists could not walk alone on the streets. When one or two tourist women were accompanied by a Russian man, locals on the street considered women in the group as a property of that man, very literally. But what had happened in European cities is actually a different story. My very best wishes (talk) 03:38, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep: notability is sources and there are strong sources here. Support efforts such as Empiricus-sextus' to re-cast the article, however. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:48, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This article lists a few examples of sexual assaults in Egypt and suddenly concludes that is a "phenomenon", and one that is uniquely "Arab". The sources are weak: German police officials are cited as the main proponents of this theory, and there is no indication that any of them is a sociologist or a scholar of any relevant field. Heck, none of them even speaks Arabic, or been into an Arab country. But simply by virtue of being white, OP have turned them into experts on Arab/Muslim society and culture, and their judgements are passed as undisputed truths, and worthy of an article. And by using the literal translation of "mass sexual assaults" in Arabic as the title, that makes it officially an Arab phenomenon!

Furthermore, the body of the article is quite ridiculous. Consider the following sentence:

Some parallels have been drawn to Eve teasing and the mob of youngsters that harassed women and couples in a year 2000 New York Parade (Puerto Rican Day Parade attacks).

So basically this article cites earlier examples of mass sexual assaults, as a supporting argument that it is an Arab phenomenon? You'd think editors at this point would stop, and ask themselves whether the cited German officers/other pretentious euro-supremacists are full of crap and perhaps reconsider this phenomenon as one that exhibits in large male crowds, and one that transcends all cultures?

This article serves no purpose other than perpetuating the euro-supremacist anti-immigrant narrative that regards Arab and North African individuals as sexual predators. Al-Andalusi (talk) 03:44, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. SERIOUSLY? Who would want to delete this very important article as it becomes more and more timely in Europe? Do you really want people to come to Wikipedia looking for this term and find out that it's been proposed for deletion? The very fact that someone proposed this article for deletion makes me despair for Wikipedia. How on earth does Wikipedia hope to attract women editors and contributors?

Diese Gewaltstraftaten sind insbesondere von den bereits polizeilich seit längerem verfolgten Antanzdelikten deutlich zu unterscheiden…So liegen dem Bundeskriminalamt Erkenntnissee dazu vor, dass in arabischen Ländern ein Modus Operandi bekannt ist, der als „taharrush gamea“ (gemeinsame sexuelle Belästigung in Menschmengen) bezeichnet wird.

Keep I don't agree with the redirect to Casiotone. Other than the fact they were made by the same company, there is no connection. One is a range of inexpensive home keyboards; the other is a very expensive, professional-standard (in its day) sampler. As for the proposal to delete, I don't agree with it. The FZ-1 (and its variants) was a pretty notable instrument in its day. The first 'affordable' 16-bit sampler and used by a fair few notable musicians, albeit nowhere near as popular as the Akai S900 and S950, its main competition. Although long superseded by more modern machines, and of course by software samplers, the FZ-1 is still used by some musicians today; it has become a desirable retro item. I agree the article needs a lot of improvement but I don't see that it should simply be deleted just because it is currently not up to scratch. Dubmill (talk) 21:14, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I think the article needs to be re-evaluated for the tags on the top of the article. I don't see any evidence of personal research. I've tried to address the copyedit issues and as per BLP I think I'm removing the somewhat "criminal" implication of Vu tech at the bottom. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:17, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see why so called "criminal" implications should be removed. She was a named accused by SEBI and being founder and what-not of Vu these things should be mentioned. Btw, if you guys have not been through the history then let me put it her that the subject and her paid editors seemed to be very much happy until the article had tons of trophys and copyvio images and all glitters. I and few more editors cleaned the resume and in that process added some "negative" aspects to the biography which prominently featured in top google hits about Saraf.

I removed it because it's not really about her and I think that BLP need to be treated with caution.

@E.M.Gregory: Are the sources you include about Will Randall the person. They seem to be more about his work. It's hard to tell, I invite more discussion about this. I am still unsure about his notability, I am still inclined to !vote delete. JMHamo (talk) 21:10, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They are a sampling of the more notable reviews, his first book had a great many reviews, "Indian Summer", only a few. For a writer, book reviews suffice to establish notability. But in Randall's case, There was a great deal written about him at the time his first book came out, and a fair amount in the years since. You simply need to search on a news archive. Here: [33] for example is a typical interview with Randall that ran in The Herald [Glasgow (UK)] 18 June 2005, by Susan Swarbrick, "Bolthole Will Randall" It's about his current "bolthole": "in a little village near Blois on the Loire. It s quiet, so it s great for writing..." Lots of this sort of thing. Brits get off on the idea of running off to a tropical island. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is still a WP:BLP1E of a person who doesn't have enough sustained notability to warrant an encyclopedia article at this time. He might well get over our inclusion standards in the future, but right now it's just WP:TOOSOON. And given the article topic's field of endeavour, the creator's username, "Investor101", still strongly implies a direct conflict of interest. As always, Wikipedia is not a place where anybody is entitled to an article just because they can be verified as existing, and that goes double if they're creating the article themselves — we're an encyclopedia, not a public relations platform, and nothing here suggests that he's earned encyclopedia coverage as of yet.

Comment – Here's a couple of sources: [34], [35]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Both sources are passing mentions, and anyways the passages basically say "(n+1)!+2, (n+1)!+3, ... (n+1)!+n+1 are n consecutive non-prime numbers" with n=1,000,000 by "random" choice. I am pretty sure the same point is made with n=1000 or 2016 or 10^2016 in the meaning of "any large number", so hardly evidence on notability. Tigraan (talk) 09:54, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Just posted the sources for people's perusal; hence the comment rather than !vote. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I can imagine an argument that this number might be more significant because the phrase "a million and one" (or, less often, "one million and one") is a common expression, used in book titles, song lyrics, and the like. (For example, Yvonne DeVaney's song "A Million and One" produced hit singles in 1966 for Dean Martin, Vic Dana, and Billy Walker.[36][37][38][39]) I'm not sure if this ultimately results in added notability for the number, or if WP:NOTDICT takes care of it, but I added some search links above for others to consider. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:51, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

and do not disambiguate, just to be explicit. There are no topics to disambiguate; they would be found at a million and one or one million and one (note that they are redlinks) and this is not a synonym for "a million to one" (that would be 1,000,000:1).

Could you find a source for that, or tell us (approximatively) where you live? (Do not disclose personal info if you do not wish to.) Tigraan (talk) 10:02, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete until and unless "a million and one" is demonstrated to be a colloquial term or of cultural importance (see WP:NUMBER). Note that this is different from "one million to one". Having one famous song titled like this does not lend the number itself much notability (but it pollutes online search results).

This was apparently prodded and denied by creator, but I cannot say I feel compelled by their explanation. Tigraan (talk) 09:54, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. And a ((trout)) to the article creator for citing Yahoo! Answers. I agree with the others that this is not notable. "A million to one" is different, and there isn't much reason to think that we need a disambiguation page under this title. The textbooks cited are trivial mentions. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I could not find any reliable sources to substantiate the notability of this number. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 15:41, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment. Sources that mention the use of "a million and one" as an example of hyperbolic or figurative speech include this linguistics book [40] and a page from Oxford Dictionaries [41]. In addition to the much-recorded song mentioned above, another example in the title of a (probably) notable work is A Million and One Nights: A History of the Motion Picture, a 1926 landmark of early film history by Terry Ramsaye. The similar usage of "a thousand and one" is covered at 1001 (number) and is also mentioned at Indefinite and fictitious numbers, where a mention of this number might be added as well. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:30, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or change to DAB. The idiomatic usage and the fact that it is a palindromic number are not quite enough for WP:NUMBER. A disambiguation page for the songs and other works that use this title might not be unwarranted, though. --Sammy1339 (talk) 19:05, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Completing nomination on behalf of ElOsoBlanco (talk · contribs), who provided no rationale. Looking at the article, I see only one reference - and that reference does nothing other than to confirm the nationality of the subject. Good as far as it goes, I guess. But it doesn't show how they satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL, WP:GNG, or WP:BLP. Google gives me only copies of this article, in one form or another. Could be a Hoax, could simply be unverifiable. But either way, this should probably be Deleted. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Articles for deletion/Saliva Exchange

Articles for deletion/Saliva exchange (2nd nomination)

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

No sources linked at all and the topic itself doesn't seem to be notable, there seem to be several diverse topics referred to by this label in various areas of study, as shown by Edison in the previous AFD. SPACKlick (talk) 16:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (There follows my "keep" argument from the previous AFD 25 months ago. Apologies if any links have gone dead. Some links have deteriorated and no longer point specifically to the passage wherein saliva exchange is discussed. Perhaps new references have emerged in the ensuing months) "Saliva exchange" is a term frequently used in books about human sexuality [42], [43],[44] as well as in books dealing with transmission of viruses and pathogens among animals as well as humans: [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50]. The last notes that "saliva exchange" can be via shared lipstick, cigarettes and so forth, besides kissing. That said, sources just point it out as important without generally going on to any great extent about the quantity of fluid or methods to decrease (or increase) the amount transmitted or exchanged, or participants enthusiasm or lack of enthusiasm to be the recipient. "Backwash" from shared beverages, re-used water bottles [51] or even communion cups has also been written about. The sources go beyond defining what it is and discuss what effects it has, good or bad. There are also controversies as to whether it is a transmission mode for HIV [52]. A letter to Nature reviewed a wide array of scientific papers which described forms of saliva exchange in folk medicine of African peoples, including putting saliva in a babies mouth and premasticating food [53]. An article in the Telegraph said that scientists say kissing may have evolved to facilitate the spread of Cytomegalovirus from man to woman via saliva exchange so she can develop resistance to it which protects the baby: [54]. Persons considering getting CPR training have worried about acquiring HIV from saliva exchange via the dummy from earlier trainees, and this has been written about: [55]. A scientific study of the danger of peanut allergen transmission via saliva exchange used 5ml as a typical amount and looked at the danger at various times after the partner ate peanut butter. [56]. New England Journal of Medicine had an article reviewing type b hepatitis as commonly transmitted by saliva exchange through children sharing candy or chewed toys [57]. Seems to be a notable subject, and references only have to exist (as shown above), and do not have to be present in the article for it to be kept. Edison (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete as nominator. AS can probably be surmised from my nomination I don't find Edison's argument compelling. This is not one topic meaning anything beyond the two words. It's not one category of thing for a page to be written about. SPACKlick (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CommentSorry, SPACKlick, you do not get to add a Delete !=vote in addition to your nomination, but your comments are most welcome From 2014,"Goldman-Cecil Medicine" by Elsevier says on page 223 "Transmission of KSHV appears to be largely due to saliva exchange..." Other than that book, I see the term in many fiction books as a discussion of kissing,showing it to be a continuing part of popular culture, and in many journal articles behind paywall at Google scholar. Perhaps someone can see if the coverage there is substantial. A number of news sources Newsweek, LA Times) reported on a journal article inMicrobiome in 2014 which measured bacteria transfer during french kissing, showing that about 60 million bacteria get transferred by saliva exchange, and that kissing makes the oral biota of couples similar, and may have benefits to the immune system (unless the partner has pathogens!). A San Diego Public Health Advisory in 2015 cautioned about intimate kissing, sharing drinks or sharing cigarettes as a prime means of spreading meningococcal disease: "Saliva exchange is how the disease can enter the body". The article might cover "saliva exchange" as a part of popular culture sources which qualify WP:MEDRS should be the basis for medical statements. Some of these are behind paywall so those with better access are needed to examine them. Edison (talk) 18:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rasta (Congo)

[edit]

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

Only one reference (it's the New York Times but we only have one article there) leading me to wonder if this name ever 'caught on'. Also, even though the reference is the Times there is something odd about the description.

The one reference names the Rasta as one group among those that are a topic of that article and may be quoting a non-authoritative source the name. (i.e. the Rasta are in the article rather than an article about 'them'.)

Without further referencing I think we should delete the article (after having it tagged for clean up since 2007). RJFJR (talk) 18:08, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The Rastas were formed circa 2004 and are a splinter group of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, a primary remnant Rwandan Hutu rebel group in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There's a lot of coverage about the group; some only name the Rastas once or twice and then later refers to them as “the group”, “the rebels” or “they”, etc. Overall, the topic meets WP:GNG, and there are likely additional sources available that I cannot access.

Delete - I thought at first this was about an event called Major Male. Seems to be pretty much WP:OR made by someone trying to make a judgement call as to which pageants should be considered notable. The individual pageants seem to be notable, but I am not seeing that they, as a group, make up a significant enough trio to justify their being lumped together like this.

Wet cleaning

[edit]

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

"Wet cleaning", I think, is "doing laundry" as in a standard washing machine or by hand. "Wet cleaning" is not a usual term for this concept, but I think the point was to differentiate it from dry cleaning. The article currently is not citing sources. The sources cited are not being cited in a way that suggests they define the concept of wet cleaning.

For this article to remain I would expect to see a source cited which clearly defines the term. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:18, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EPA Fact Sheet on Wet Cleaning - this is a strange source. It is presented by the US government, yet it does not clearly state what wet cleaning is. This is one of the dead links in the article. I would not call this an WP:RS because it seems to be a project of the Center for Neighborhood Technology. That organization does not seem to have published stable content on wet cleaning - see their report. Whatever wet cleaning means is not clearly defined either by the EPA or by this organization which wrote the paper published by the EPA. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:20, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Arxiloxos: Do you know anything about this process? Could you share any leads for sources? Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the context of this article the term is used to refer to professional cleaning methods that don't use chemical solvents, the most common of which is perchloroethylene). Environmental groups have put considerable effort into exploring whether these alternative methods are cleaner than perc and whether they can be used on delicate garments (the kind that often carry a "Dry Clean Only" label) without shrinking or otherwise damaging the clothes. Searches produce a lot of technical content and over 1000 pages at epa.gov. Some of this is promotional or otherwise of unclear reliability. But some examples of news coverage include a 2004 NPR story [60]; Chicago Sun-Times [61]; Oakland Tribune [62]; Boston Herald [63]; Los Angeles Times [64][65]; Washington Post [66]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:15, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cooperative-based graph clustering

[edit]

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

Fails notability - an obscure (single-researcher) subtopic of clustering. The article is based on single reference (A. Ibrahim, Derek Rayside, R. Kashef (2014). "Cooperative Based Software Clustering on Dependency Graphs". IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE), Toronto, Canada.) with 0 citations on Google Scholar. Some of the other references are outright incorrect. The Bürger reference does not appear to mention Cooperative-based graph based clustering at all, for example. Which is not surprising, because these sources predate the Ibrahim publication... HelpUsStopSpam (talk) 20:29, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The text appears to be largely copied from an unpublished and unsourced paper by the same name, by Ahmed Ibrahim of the University of Waterloo. It is probably not a copyvio because that name matches the name of the article's creator, but it is also not a notable piece of research, and anyway Wikipedia is the wrong place for publishing one's research. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:29, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RMISERY

[edit]

All I simply see here is some local coverage here and there but nothing to solidly suggest satisfying bands notability guidelines with my searches finding nothing better than this (which is currently listed at the article), some of the listed news articles are even simply for event listings and such so not exactly solid in-depth. It's also worth noting the main contributor and author of this was user "RMISERY" which suggests it may have been the band themselves, followed by more recent users "RMISERY Metal Band" and "Rmiserymetal" which wouldn't even concern as much if wasn't for the fact this hasn't improved also.

WP:BLP of a musician, which makes no strong claim of notability that would pass WP:NMUSIC. This is written very much more like a public relations advertisement than an encyclopedia article, and is sourced far too heavily to primary sources and commercial sales platforms; while there is a little bit of reliable source coverage hidden in the mix, there isn't enough of it yet. The claimed award is not a major one that would satisfy NMUSIC #8; the claimed tour does not satisfy #4, as a tour has to have garnered "non-trivial coverage" but none has been shown here. It's possibly just WP:TOOSOON. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there's a stronger notability claim and better sourcing.

First of all, please don't always talking about delete, this could also be consider as personal bias. Secondly, there's a big difference between solution marketing and solution selling, solution marketing is business to mass business, and a step before solution selling, after the business receive our message about what value we offer then comes solution selling. I would say both topic is important in today's business, since you can see more and more company they are offering solution, if you can't get the awareness or attention from your target customer by doing solution marketing, how could a business sell their solution.Third, I want to thank you to letting me know about your concern that the content of solution marketing is similar to solution selling. Please give me more opinions, I really appreciate for your opinion, with these I can improve the solution marketing page to be a valuable page. Thank you! Please don't delete it at this moment, and please give me more input, I will improve this page. Thank you very much! Athina martinez (talk) 14:35, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Athina martinez: Please do not confuse 'personal bias' with simple opinions as to whether or not a page exists. I would add that Wikipedia is not a business how-to guide or dictionary; it is for subjects that have independent reliable sources that indicate how the subject is notable. The article reads like it is simply defining the term and doesn't indicate to me how it is notable. It also uses jargon very specific and detailed for the business world, which makes it hard for non-businesspeople to read and understand it. 331dot (talk) 14:52, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Athina martinez: Taking for granted that solution marketing and solution selling are different, could they be combined to be covered in a single article? To me the biggest issue with this article is that the tone is that of a business school student essay. That's not a reflection of quality, but in that it seems written for a teacher/other classmates rather than for a general audience, and seems intent to persuade rather than to explain. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If that's something you would like, since it's looking like the alternative is deletion, you should say so explicitly.

Authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals:

   The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
   The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
   The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
   The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

-the article shows clearly that the artist is regarded within their field as an important figure,the article clearly shows that this artist has made more than one significant public artworks (most notable the trinity roots 9/11 memorial in NYC of which a NY Times article was just published as of 12/25/2015) 2 public sculptures in the city of Philadelphia. the artist work has been featured in two books about sculpture. the artist is an active lecturer in their field and the artist work is listed in several notable galleries as well as notable collections and two notable museums.

Comment: re-reading the article and the references, I would be inclined to accept notability on the basis of the NYTimes article on Trinity Roots [75]; I remain uncertain about the meuseum, which is a technological museum as much as a art museum, and if the unspecified work there is there ion the basis of technology rather than art or design, I don't think it would qualify. The article did give me a quite promotional impression, do the the equal weight on aspects of his life which are not notable, such as the abortive musical career. That sort of writing is characteristic of conflict of interest, but it is fixable. DGG ( talk ) 04:23, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: my research shows that the artworks included in the wheaton collection are simply that. artwork. not tecnology although if they were included in a museum ,regardless of whether it is for their merit as a technological advance or as an aesthetic one ,it still may qualify for inclusion. also upon furhter research this artist has work in another mueum for contemporary glass art. i added the link. i will continue to improve both the layout and format of this article as it still needs work Etidorhpaunderground (talk) 15:50, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to see beyond the need to WP:TNT the horrible layout and unencyclopedic content - but I'm not seeing a lot of secondary sources which suggest notability.

Delete - Interesting idea, but this is just WP:OR. The lack of notability for any of the specific videos is a red flag that this would need substantial sources to establish clear encyclopedic significance. The BLP problems associated with celebrity sex tapes also require good sources. A single reliable, independent source would at least be a starting point, though, and I don't see it.

Beyond that, an article may be flagged for needing further reference improvement, or may be redirected to a larger related topic (e.g. a neigbourhood within a city can be redirected to its city) if it proves stubbornly unsourceable — but a geographic settlement is never a full-on deletion candidate unless it's a total WP:HOAX, which this verifiably isn't.

Sermon of the roar of a camel

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Fails GNG and in its present state it is nowhere near an article, more like a badly sourced stub. While specific works may be notable enough to be given separate articles, this fails such a test. Furthermore, in its present state the article is in no shape to be recoverable. Previous debates were voted keep with the rationale that "Article can be improved" however even though there has been almost a span of SEVEN YEARS during which the article could have been improved, there has been nill improvement, causing one to come to the conclusion that in reality it cannot be improved at all. I think it is time we deleted this. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 06:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's a well known and and notable sermon of Nahj al-Balagha. The notablity is supported by sources such as [76], (An article of 'Encyclopedia of Islam' in Persian) and [77]. Mhhossein (talk) 17:20, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Keep per mhossein. Grootwoord (talk) 19:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per first and second AfD on this article. In addition, according to Wilferd Madelung, there is a an Ali's letter to his Shia (followers), which covers more complete version of the theme of this sermon. (The Succession to Muhammad p. 270)--Seyyed(t-c) 06:22, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy/Draftify. It is a notable sermon in that there are indeed reliable sources, from the looks of GBooks. HOWEVER, the current state of the article is downright abominable and has been so for 7 years, as the nom noted. Someone should take care of the problems first in draft mode, have it reviewed by AfC and only after approval should it be re-added to mainspace. - HyperGaruda (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:. I wonder who came up with this awful translation of "shiqshiqiyya" (Oh wait, it's Striver). For one, camels do not "roar", they "bray"; roaring is for lions. Secondly, the camel's "braying" is called shaqshaqa in Arabic, which is different from shiqshiqa. The shiqshiqa is a camel's "faucial bag", an anatomical structure in the camel's throat with which it does the braying, to put it simply. - HyperGaruda (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as even the title is nonsense. Legacypac (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - well known and notable sermon. BabbaQ (talk) 21:02, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Based on previous consensus alone. The "nonsense" of a title has nothing to do with an article being kept or deleted. This is well known and has plenty of sources to support. Let me know when we're back for the 4th nomination as having a 3rd despite the previous consensus is "nonsense." --CNMall41 (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41 how about putting your editing where your opinion is. you say that there are plenty of sources mentioning this, why don't you put a couple of those WP:RS into the article? Just saying "this has plenty of sources" to support is quite easy, its been seven years and no one bothered to incorporate those "plenty" of Reliable sources into this abomination of an article, how about you doing it?. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 05:27, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FreeatlastChitchat, don't be upset about my opinion. It is not a requirement that references be added to the article in order to support my contention. If you can show me the guideline that states we should delete an article since no one has improved it in seven years, I will gladly change my !vote. --CNMall41 (talk) 08:38, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41 By mentioning the seven year period I was merely adding weight. The Primary argument still remains that no source in the current article can pass it through GNG, and as seven long years have passed since some voters claimed that reliable sources exist which can help it pass GNG, therefore maybe those sources do not even exist. I think that the basis of the article creation process is that you should have reliable sources which can be used to show that this subject warrants an article. So seven years have passed since it was claimed that reliable sources discuss this in depth, however, no such sources have been provided.
