(1) WP:OR - the entire article is the work of the editor, the same thing as an editor writing up a book review about their favourite novel. It is offensive to have WP editors doing this sort of work, doing their own distillation/paraphrase of case reports. All such articles have no place on WP and should be removed; (2) no source (apart from the subject itself) Sirlanz 23:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Not suggesting the case is a fabrication. Notability is also not the basis of my nomination. The article is a paraphrase/distillation of a case report. It is entirely the editor's original work. The extraction from an official case report of a case's essence (which is what this editor has done) is precisely what lawyers, judges and academics attempt to do. If any article about a case report is to avoid breach of WP:OR, it must cite such independent analysis, e.g. as published in a law journal. Notability could also come into play in this case (though I've not attempted to research this angle) because the article offers no clue as to any impacts it has had in the community, development of new legislation, etc., or any controversies that may have resulted from it, i.e. no real-world context has been provided. sirlanz Sirlanz 00:09, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I take Johnlp's point: this is a great article for a cricket enthusiasts' site (and I love the game, by the way). I do not subscribe to the idea that a cricketer of the most ephemeral imaginable prominence (it would be tough to dream up a greater underachiever) can ever satisfy a reasonable standard of general notability. And I repeat "general" because WP is not a specialist cricket enthusiasts' site. And a simple stat entry somewhere is nothing towards notability even in the cricketing sphere. sirlanz 14:47, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted because the individual is not notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. The individual may at some point warrant a page of his own, but his sole claim to notability at this point is having been in the Mueller team and having been removed from the investigation for referring to the President as "crazy". I'm sure the Republican Party and rightwing media will get into the weeds on this individual and make him notable, but so far he's not notable. 2017 Special Counsel investigation is sufficient. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:24, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm sure that dozens of individuals were involved in either the Russia interference investigation or the Clinton e-mail controversy. That's not sufficient for inclusion. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 22:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but he wasn't just involved. He had a significant influence on Comey's findings in the Clinton investigation and he is the only person removed from Meuller's investigation for misconduct.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing to suggest that he "had a significant influence on Comey's findings in the Clinton investigation". Are you referring to Strzok being one of many to review a draft of the investigation's findings? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 22:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm referring to the fact that he changed the wording from "grossly negligent" (which would suggest a crime was committed) to the much milder "extremely careless."--Rusf10 (talk) 22:40, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes? He reviewed the draft, along with many other people. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 22:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
From the CNN article that is referenced[2]: "Electronic records show Peter Strzok, who led the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server as the No. 2 official in the counterintelligence division, changed Comey's earlier draft language describing Clinton's actions as "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," the sources said." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusf10 (talkcontribs) 22:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To shoot down this article under WP:BLP1E, you apparently need all 3 of these things: [1] reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event (not true here since multiple investigations are covered); [2] the person is likely to remain, a low-profile individual (not here given the vast coverage and more to come); [3] the individual's role was not substantial (uh, interrogating Mike Flynn to the point where Flynn lied is substantial all by itself). As for WP:NOTNEWS, we have coverage of Strzok going back months, cited in this BLP:

That’s a lot of coverage that preceded the massive December 2017 coverage, especially given that the FBI is tight-lipped. Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:27, 9 December 2017 (UTC)expanded14:52, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin: Note the many single-purpose accounts, new accounts, etc., who have popped up, apparently from off-wiki canvassing. These "votes" above fail to make an policy-based argument - they don't point to sources, but merely claim "WP:ITSIMPORTANT." Users' subjective opinions as to "importance" are not relevant. What is relevant are the presence (or absence) of in-depth, secondary sources meriting a standalone page. That's not the case here. Neutralitytalk 03:33, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Here is this BLP as it stood at 02:17 on December 7. I started editing immediately thereafter, and with two other editors have greatly upgraded the BLP (e.g. number of footnotes doubled, et cetera).

If the deputy director of counterintelligence at the fbi, who has been the leader of several very well-publicized investigation(s), and who got canned from the last one of those investigations, is a pawn in the game of life, then what are we?

Yes, that is what he is, at least for notability purposes. In his own life I'm sure he's huge, and in the life of the people he oversees, and I have no doubt he makes a nice six-figure salary, and none of that really means anything. You know that if he hadn't became yet another political punching bag (irrespective of whether he did something wrong or not) no one in their right mind would have ever cared, as the timestamp on your edits to the article indicate. Sorry to bust that bubble about you and me and our egos. Drmies (talk) 23:33, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, but he has become a politic punching bag, and this has been fairly widely reported. Frank Wills was merely a security guard, and would be completely non-notable for his station, but he happened to get involved in a matter of national interest. bd2412 T 23:39, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed by JFG. Please do not modify it.
I agree with bd2412, and thank goodness for Frank Wills, the security guard. Wikipedia has a very nice little article on punching bags, and maybe several thousand articles on individual cricket and soccer players with maybe one obscure footnote apiece on average. Strzok is a muckity muck, and I care more about him now that he’s a famous and controversial muckity muck. Since he’s in the spying business, he probably kept a low profile on purpose, but those days are gone it seems. This BLP is very fair to him. Joe Arpaio probably doesn’t want a BLP here anymore than Strzok does, but they don’t run Wikipedia presumably. Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:40, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BD2412, Willis is nothing like this guy, and their actions aren't comparable. "Widely reported", yes, but it's still a side show. I don't know what Arpaio has to do with anything; his position already likely made him notable via NPOLITICIAN, and he's been passing the GNG for decades for actually having done stuff. This guy basically did nothing, and the whole "scandal" is manufactured. Anythingyouwant, I know you like the politics of all this, but those cricketers and all are likely notable via a set of guidelines suitable for an encyclopedia that claims to adhere to such guidelines as NOTNEWS. Drmies (talk) 01:19, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would submit that a person who is the subject of a widely publicized manufactured scandal is still notable. We have articles on notable hoaxes, too. bd2412 T 01:52, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In the Clinton email investigation, he’s notable for being the one who deleted that she engaged in “gross negligence.” In the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, he’s notable for being the one who started the investigation. In the Flynn matter, he’s notable for being the person who Flynn lied to leading to a criminal penalty for Flynn. In the Mueller investigation, he’s notable for being fired after writing anti-Trump text messages that brought his and the FBI’s neutrality into question. Etc. Etc. Etc. He’s also the second ranking counterintelligence guy at the FBI, which is a very significant office. It’s true he wouldn’t be in the news if he hadn’t been canned, and Snowden wouldn’t be in the news if he hadn’t left the NSA, and Neil Armstrong might not have an article here if he hadn’t passed the NASA entry exam. Just because secret stuff is not made available to reporters until a lot of time goes by (or maybe never made available) doesn’t mean it’s not potentially notable. Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:01, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Does it hurt at all to have to twist yourself and the facts like this to get your political points in? In summary, no, signing off on a document doesn't make you the one who starts an investigation; no he's not notable for that (hardly his prerogative: just a secretary); no that doesn't make him notable (he's the cop writing down the statement); yes, BLP1E followed by 4chan and Fox making a mountain of a molehill and Wikipedia editors lending a helping hand. The FBI's neutrality is not brought in question--at least not by serious people and publications.

Your comparisons are crap. Snowden wouldn't be in the news if he hadn't left the NSA? The guy stole a kazillion secret documents and fled to Russia, or did you miss that? Armstrong stepped on the moon, which is why he has an article; he's not the only one who passed the test. Sheesh. [ec: Oh there's secret stuff? Wow!] Drmies (talk) 02:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You’re being quite a politician here Drmies, ignoring points that don’t work in you favor. The Clinton email thing was huge, that “gross negligence” was replaced by a synonym that lacked legal significance. And Mueller wouldn’t have sent this guy to work in the mail room or whatever if Mueller didn’t see any jeopardy in the chief investigator ranting about Trump. I dob’t think you’re being objective at all here. Earl Warren is renowned for running the Warren Commission and this guy was running similar high profile investigations, just like Mueller is running a high profile investigation described by multiple Wikipedia articles. To shoot down this article under BLP1E, you need all 3 of these things: [1] reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event (not true here since multiple investigations are covered); [2] the person is likely to remain, a low-profile individual (not here given the vast coverage and more to come); [3] the individual's role was not substantial (uh, interrogating Mike Flynn to the point where Flynn lied is substantial all by itself). Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:25, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
False comparisons. Warren has a commission named for him, never mind that he was a chief justice. Strzok has an AfD named for him, no matter Mueller's intentions or your speculations. Drmies (talk) 02:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not as if he has only ever been mentioned on the right-wing networks - CNN has published a piece on this. Furthermore, although politicians may be making hay of these issues, they are subject to multiple interpretations. Strzok's change in the wording of the Clinton email can easily be seen as a legally correct determination that the more severe language was unwarranted since the data on Clinton's server was never breached (although people tend to conflate the unrelated breach of the Democratic National Committee server with the court-ordered production of Clinton's emails). Mueller's swift decision to remove Strzok from the investigation can easily be seen as a demonstration of Mueller's integrity and neutrality in the conduct of the investigation, shoring up its legitimacy. bd2412 T 02:47, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think “reportedly brought attention to Steele dossier” is supported by the cited source? Browne, Pamela. "Fired FBI official at center of Flynn, Clinton, dossier controversies revealed", Fox News (December 2, 2017). That source says, he “reportedly helped push the largely unverified dossier on Trump that was initially prepared by Fusion GPS for the Clinton campaign's opposition research.” The NYT confirms that Strzok made use of that dossier, see Schmidt, Michael S.; Goldman, Adam; Lichtblau, Eric (April 22, 2017). "Comey Tried to Shield the F.B.I. From Politics. Then He Shaped an Election". The New York Times: “It took weeks for this information to land with Mr. Strzok and his team. Mr. Steele had been a covert agent for MI6 in Moscow, maintained deep ties with Russians and worked with the F.B.I., but his claims were largely unverified. It was increasingly clear at the F.B.I. that Russia was trying to interfere with the election.” Undoubtedly Strzok was part of a team at the FBI, but Wikipedia has BLPs on lots of members of various teams.

News about the creation of this ministry originated from this Kommersant article (in Russian) dated 19 September 2016; the story was picked up and republished by Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Politico, etc. A month later a Russian official (Sergei Ivanov) denied that this ministry will ever be created. This is the most recent story I could find on the topic; given that it has been over a year since then, I suggest that the article and its fork Ministry for State Security (Russia) should be deleted as a non-notable hoax. eh bien mon prince (talk) 17:22, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've heavily edited this page to remove unsourced and (in some cases) fictitious claims, including winning non-existent awards, and removed two very comprehensive tables claiming international singles charts positions for 2002 (the song was recorded in 2014): I've also removed a lot of the indiscriminate piped links such as [[Management|Niall Bishop]], [[Magazine|''Slasher'' magazine]] and (egregiously) [[Iceland Music Awards|''Ireland Weekly'']] which appear to have been added in an effort to pad out the page with blue links and thus appear to be more significant. The enduring issue, though, is that none of the remaining references support the claims in the article, and the certifications table is completely unsourced - and in spite of my best efforts, I cannot find anything online to corroborate the claims regarding international sales. Even with this, WP:SONGS states "Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. (Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable)" - and without it, I feel the page definitely fails GNG. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:17, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp the rationale "one of the top 50 restaurants in the world is probably notable". Well, it's an interesting issue: is inclusion in the The World's 50 Best Restaurants sufficient to make a restaurant notable? I think not, a lot of those would be perennial stubs with little to say except that it exists somewhere and won this award. I think inclusion in that list should not be enough for a stand-alone article, which should require further sources - at best those restaurants can be mentioned in the list of restaurants which made it to the The World's 50 Best Restaurants ranking. I'll also note most of those old lists have little visibility, not being archived on the awarding site's (as far as I can tell), being available only in the Internet Archive, which does not suggest this is a lasting, significant recognition (without TIA it would be almost impossible to verify those claims at all).

This AfD discussion starts with quoting a boilerplate saying the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient ..., but notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article, and to evaluate that requires WP:BEFORE. To add insult to injury, it was obviously the wrong boilerplate being copy-pasted from User:Piotrus/Templates: this is not a biography, and while another kind editor has corrected the AfD category to |O in this diff, the nomination text retains the erroneous and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement.
It is being stated above in regards to previous lists of The World's 50 Best Restaurants that most of those old lists have little visibility, not being archived on the awarding site's (as far as I can tell), being available only in the Internet Archive, which does not suggest this is a lasting, significant recognition (without TIA it would be almost impossible to verify those claims at all). This is a misunderstanding, as (a) whether a source is live or archived is irrelevant to its value (WP:404 etc.), and more importantly (b) we use independent sources, not primary, to judge notability (WP:IS etc.). If, however, one would continue to argue that the live presence of these lists on the contrary suggested "a lasting, significant recognition", then some foot damage is happening here. Go to www.theworlds50best.com and choose LIST from the menu, then choose PREVIOUS LISTS, then choose YYYY LIST. Voila! Took 10 seconds. All lists are live online. I do prefer secondary sources, and a quick search has so far brought about reliable sources confirming Le Calandre's placement on the list for each of the last 9 years. It took me about 15 minutes. So it is not impossible to verify those claims at all.
AfD nominations like these are a waste of community time, gut feeling "notable? dubious, prodding" prods like this are harmful given the lack of WP:BEFORE, and WP:ATD is policy and should be followed. Sam Sailor 13:24, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale "more than 200 branches; clearly notable". Unfortunately, size is not a deciding factor - it is a medium sized company, but those are not auto-notable (per cited policies). As I cannot find any sources on this, and the only source (including for claimed size) is self-published, I think it is time to move this to a wider debate. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:36, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the very margin of acceptability, (still as you say 200 branches). I feel there is enough in this magazine article to fully justify inclusion, provided some more independent references are used. http://www.fooddrink-magazine.com/sections/restaurants/1100-gorditas-dona-tota I did notice in passing that the Spanish version of the Wiki project has an article too and mentions a 2013 FEMSA group investment of $120 MDD (so I added that), fairly notable surely. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 11:03, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BeckenhamBear: Can Food and Drink Magazine be considered reliable? The problem with such niche outlets is that sometimes they are pay-to-print marketing vehicles. Consider this: "Interested in being featured in an upcoming issue? Please contact jason.quan@fooddrink-magazine.com for more information." The odds are that this is the 'pay us if you are interested in a nice, positive, marketing/PR write up in the upcoming issue'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:23, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Indeed so, that's why I said "provided some MORE independent references are used". The magazine does spout some (fairly uncontroversial) interesting? core facts that are useful, they just need to be sourced from more independent reliable sources as you point out. I just read the mag article again, considering the (low key) facts presented, it is a fairly good source. It was just an interview after all. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 11:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Szczuczyn pogrom[edit]

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

Highly problematic, WP:OR/WP:N issues. No reliable sources discuss 'Szczuczyn pogrom' (pl. 'Pogrom w Szczuczynie'). While it does appear that there were some crimes committed on Jews in that region ([20]) it does not seem likely that this crime was notable, nor that this is the correct term for it. Pl wiki uses the term 'crime', not 'pogrom', see pl:Szczuczyn_(województwo_podlaskie)#Zbrodnia_w_Szczuczynie Naming aside, I am not sure if the crime is notable, most related publications talk about the related 'Bzura crime' (pl:Mord w Bzurach, [21], [22]), and the events in Szczuczyn did not get enough coverage. The article makes some claims about a wider pogrom (100 deaths) but I cannot find source to support that claim. It is likely the author confused time and place of several other events. In either case I think it qualifies for deletion due to mistakes/OR/N, or plain WP:TNT mess. Ping User:Poeticbent.

  • In terms of completeness, and I'm bringing this up due to the nom asserting the Polish Wikipedia (While it does appear that there were some crimes committed on Jews in that region ([30]) it does not seem likely that this crime was notable, nor that this is the correct term for it. Pl wiki uses the term 'crime', not 'pogrom', see pl:Szczuczyn_(województwo_podlaskie)#Zbrodnia_w_Szczuczynie as a source (the POV of which I've commented above) - this is described in length in hewiki entry on town(towns with little content on hewiki other than the massacres/Jewish history don't always get a standalone massacre), ruwiki entry on the Pogrom, and uawiki entry on the Pogrom. So we have 3 at least cross-wikis here. Perhaps someone should update the Polish wikipedia entry on the town (assuming it is still legal (in Poland) to do so)?Icewhiz (talk) 13:33, 5 December 2017 (UTC) Struck since it appears uawiki and ruwiki are very recent and possibly same author - however the Hebrew article dates back to 2015.Icewhiz (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please don't wp:bludgeon me with links which do not confirm your wayward claims. Prewar Poland was a multi-ethnic country, and names such as Yakubtshuk, Shviatlovski, Yankayitis (from Kopstein & Wittenberg), certainly do not sound Polish. Poeticbent talk 15:48, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's WP:OR, though possibly correct, however the fact that the residents of Szczuczyn (Polish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Ruthenian, German (minority outside Germany), etc.) massacred the Jewish population of the town has been amply demonstrated by RS. Kopstein&Wittenberg published in Comparative Political Studies as a peer reviewed journal is a RS, and this journal article has been cited by others.Icewhiz (talk) 16:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah that - the Macleans source - is an op-ed from a very biased author who's book was roundly criticized by professional historians. The op-ed makes several false assertions (for example it is completely untrue that Jaroslaw Szarek "flatly denied Polish involvement in, and responsibility for, the communal genocide in Jedwabne in 1941". Also no such law as you mention actually exists, nor has actually been proposed afaict, what you're quoting is some media sensationalism from a two year old interview). The source basically falls within WP:FRINGE. Nobody's prosecuting anybody for editing Polish wikipedia. That's ridiculous and a bit unhinged. Volunteer Marek  16:34, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, all that's off topic. And these WP:NOTAFORUM kinds of comments are really irrelevant to the topic's notability. Volunteer Marek  16:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Better sources - Poland wants to outlaw phrases like 'Polish death camps', CNN, August 2016, Nazi atrocities: Implying Polish guilt to become crime, BBC, Feb 2016. But you are correct, I will cease commenting on this.Icewhiz (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, I think some of the confusion above stems from the fact that there were more than one spate of murders around the town and different sources discuss different events. Volunteer Marek  16:50, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is not a single source for Summertime Entertainment. It has produced only one film, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. I don't know if this company will produce any upcoming animated films. I also think that this company is defunct and future sequels of Legends of Oz, Dorothy's Return might be handled by a different animation studio. There are no indications of notability, and it fails GNG and WP:NCORP. Evil Idiot 23:19, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ally Adnan is a notable newspaper columnist and a journalist in Pakistan. He regularly writes for many leading English language newspapers of Pakistan including The Express Tribune, The Nation (Pakistan) and Daily Times (Pakistan). I personally have been using his written articles on music as References to edit on Wikipedia for nearly 5 years. Also today, I went ahead and tried to improve the original article and have fixed some given references by the original article creator User:Sayyonee19. The article creator deserves some credit here for leaving me 11 references to work with including 4 major newspapers of Pakistan...THANKS...Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:31, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep References to a recently published interview of Ally Adnan has also been included now. Additionally, his interviews of singers and actors are actually referenced in other wikipedia pages such as Reference 3 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahira_Syed and reference 14 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Malik. There are also other examples such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tari_Khan & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rais_Khan. This, along 12+ citations from well known national Pakistani news papers and magazines is pretty decent coverage. Sayyonee19 (talk) 07:23, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

— Sayyonee19 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I have removed sources which are non-independent to the subject. This BLP still contains several questionable sources such as videos. --Saqib (talk) 07:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just now I saw the comment above that User:Sayyonee19 has not written anything on Wikipedia outside of this topic. This is a separate issue for Wikipedia staff to look into. In my view, that should not affect the status of an article about a well-known and noted journalist, movie and music critic of Pakistan, Ally Adnan. Yes, I am calling him that because three major newspapers of Pakistan namely- Dawn (newspaper), The Express Tribune, The Nation (Pakistan) have been featuring his written articles for several years on the above topics. Daily Times (Pakistan), Newsline (magazine) have also been printing his articles. Not Notable? How much more proof does one need? It's a short stub-article that had 11 different references on 22 November 2017, when I had last worked on it. Yes, I like reading his articles. It's one of the reasons I worked on it to try to improve it. Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:39, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Writing or working for major newspaper doesn't makes one notable automatically. --Saqib (talk) 04:58, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Saqib: Let's both think about it. Then why would Wikipedia constantly remind us all to give references from major newspapers? I'll say again that many major newspapers of Pakistan have been featuring his articles over several years now. In my view, he's a notable journalist....Ngrewal1 (talk) 14:16, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I said earlier above writing for newspapers does not make one's notable. You need to read WP:BIO because you're misinterpreting the policy which instead says which says A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. --Saqib (talk) 15:33, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale " one of the top 50 restaurants in the world is probably notable". Then User:SwisterTwister redirected it to Schloss Bensberg (historic building it is located in), which was again reverted by Necrothesp. I think a merge to that article would be a good idea. I don't see how this restaurant is independently notable. Claim that "The restaurant was voted 34th best in the world in Restaurant magazine's Top 50 2008" is backed up by a broken reference and other claims are simply unreferenced. Even if they can be referenced, I don't see what do those rankings have to do with notability. Unless there are reliable sources discussing those businesses, the most that such rankings can do is to provide a reference for some lists. We don't need two-sentence stand alone articles about restaurants that are just PR/marketing. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam.

Fails WP:NGEO. The two crimes that took place in the building are notable (and Wikipedia has articles about them), but there is absolutely no indication that the building itself is notable. The sources describe what happened there, they describe the building's owners and its neighborhood, but none of them actually describe the building.

  • I should have put WP:OSE as another one of the "inevitable claims" I expected above but thought editors would know better; I was proven wrong.

  • I actually haven't taken a position yet - I brought up 10050 Cielo Drive since that is not a POV battleground article. The house is discussed - e.g. [37] - in a $78,000 home donated to the sect as a Washington headquarters by Kareem‐Abdul Jabber, the professional basketball star who is a member of the sect.. This isn't an obvious GNG fail - the house appears in RSes for over 40 years - the only question really is WP:DEPTH of coverage - which is not so easy to assess given the fairly large amount of appearances coupled with the need for archive access (1970s-80s is actually a tricky period to source - most of the archives are non-free, not everything was digitized, goolge-books is often limited to snippet or no preview).Icewhiz (talk) 08:25, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that this page is not architecture-related. It is about an ordinary, posh 1920s "Tudor-style" house, presumably built on spec by a real estate developer. Reminds me of 81-15 Wareham Place. It is notable for having had a famous owner, been the site of an infamous crime, and used by a radical cult that carried out a spectacular deadly attack on downtown Washington D.C.. No one claims that it is architecturally notable. Q. Is it permitted to remove an AfD fomr an erroneous list. I ask because I often see cases where topic experts see, for example, a notable athlete who had a small role or two in a film listed on a of actors for AfD and iVote, "delete, not a notable actor." In other words, this sort of mistake can queer an AfD. Anyone know if there is a way to remove such misleading listings? E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:31, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, actually, you are welcome.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:29, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It certainly looks as though an editor responded, you responded back to him, and, in all events, opinions are intended influence subsequent iVOtes. Bottom line: however you define "respond" it is clear that you ought to follow WP:REDACT and fix the edit.

Support for Deletion This page purports to espouse the successes and scientific discoveries of "Max Loughan". Aside from being a deviation of scientific communication curiosity, Max Loughan is being portrayed as some nuanced, original thinker and scientist. Simply regurgitating the ideas of other scholars into a slightly more masticated form does not a scientist maketh. His YouTube videos do not have any empirical scientific value. The off-camera 'father' (assumed actor) offering what is seemingly overly fawning adulation for "complicated theory that no one except for you [Max] will understand," forces us to surmise that this voice is not impartial nor an objective anchor of scientific relevance. Add in also that there have been no significantly documented accomplishments, nor have there been consistent accounts of his progress.

Non notable TV channel, Fails GNG. –Davey2010Talk 15:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, @Spshu: can you please tell me how can the Fox Kids reports be original false research? --Bankster (talk) 18:00, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Explained above. You could not follow the argument at the previous AfD and twisting things I said. I had to continually correct you. You have not shown any sources to support the existence of an EMEA channel. The Jetix Reports show a CEE (which temporarily covered Turkey) and Turkey/ME.
  • GhanaWeb: "'Since its global launch in 2009 Disney XD has been a phenomenal success. Over the past 20 months, we have launched 14 Disney XD channels across EMEA and we are proud to be launching Disney XD today in Africa.' Maciej Bral, Vice President Disney Channels CEE and Emerging Markets commented..." See not a single EMEA channel but 14 DXD channels!!
  • TheNet - no indication this was any particular channel much less EMEA.
  • Bizcommunity.com: "Disney XD was globally launched in 2009 and, over the last 20 months, it has managed to launch 14 Disney XD channels across Europe, Middle East and Africa, according to Maciej Bral, Disney Channels VP and MD for emerging markets." - again 14 Disney XD channels in the EMEA. Spshu (talk) 19:15, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Spshu: you keep continuing missing the point. As in the previous AfD, I didn't say the CEE/EMEA feed was launched first, I stated the EMEA feed was actually launched. You keep ignoring the fact that while countries such France, the UK, Spain and Germany were getting their own localised channels, the Central and Eastern European feed was expanding itself to other countries outside of its original geographical coverage. Unlike other channels such as Cartoon Network, Fox Kids localised feeds were launched at par with the regional ones. I've shown you the sources and you kept ignoring them, given the fact that these make sense and make a chronology for the channel to gain such name. The three African references I've cited clearly mentions the launch of the channel in Africa, not the launch of an African feed which isn't even insinuated. One of the 14 channels being present in EMEA (which in fact there are only nine) is the proper EMEA feed, covering (as I mentioned before) the Adriatic nations, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa. I still have to explain the whole issue but you either misunderstand it or don't want to listen. --Bankster (talk) 22:15, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the issue. At no point do your sources have an EMEA channel. You are synthesizing it from primary sources. With an EMEA channel version you are saying that Fox/Jetix/Disney Europe has only one channel or individual country channels are the exception not the rule.
  • 2000 report: "... on the back of new channel launches in Italy and Turkey, a full year of technical costs for our Central & Eastern European service which launched in April 1999..." new channel in Turkey "...The launch of our pay-TV channel in Germany in October 2000 will further enhance this expansion and will complete the Pan-European roll-out of our channel platform, covering all major markets." List of channels from Subscriber Growth by Channel: "Italy, Spain, Poland, Nordi Region, France, Central Europe, Uk & Ireland, Netherlands" No European, Middle East & Africa channel, not even an European channel.
  • 2001 Report: "... adding a Hungarian channel ... extended with a Czech language feed ..." "... a new channel service for the Middle East (excluding Israel) ... includes Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen."
  • "... with Middle East Communication Holdings B.V. ... we launched a fully localised channel for Israel" A Middle East channel but not even a CEE&ME channel and still no European, Middle East & Africa channel, not even an European channel.
  • 2003 Report: June 2001: "Fox Kids becomes the most widely distributed children's channel in Europe and the Middle East, reaching 24.9 million households and broadcasting in 54 countries via 11 channel feeds in 16 languages" October 2001: "Channel launch in Greece" 2002 September: "Fox Kids Europe reaches 32.3 million households. Now broadcasting in 56 countries in 17 languages via 12 channel feeds" 2003 September "Fox Kids Europe now reaches 34.8 million households in 57 countries in 17 languages via 12 channel feeds" Again no indication of 1 channel serving the bulk of Europe, Middle East and Africa.

  • The list of Disney XD channels in Europe at MAVISE doesn't not list an EMEA channel
There is no current Disney XD EMEA channels. Onus is now completely on you, @Bankster:, and has been on you. Spshu (talk) 15:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're still missing points. I've stated several times that the Fox Kids network was launching localised channels at par with the regional feeds in Europe; an example of that is the UK channel which was launched in 1996. When am I claiming either the EMEA channel was launched first or that it covered most of Europe? Even that source doesn't mention a new channel in Turkey as you say, you might want to check that out.
  • Fox Kids 2000 report: Our Central & Eastern European channel service was extended successfully to Turkey in May 2000 on Digiturk, Turkey's first digital satellite platform, and shortly after on Turkish Telecom's cable system, in July 2000. This channel service has subsequently been extended to cover other Turkish speaking countries including Azerbaidjan and Kazakhstan. Also in May 2000, we completed the geographical coverage of our Nordic service and now cover Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. The same 2000 report contrasts the CEE feed expansion to Turkey and the launch of the Nordic Fox Kids channel. It does not mention the expansion to Africa yet, because that happened in May 2011 when the channel was already rebranded as Disney XD, twelve years later. By 2000, as you noted above, the CEE/Pan-Euro channel expanded to the Middle East and North Africa. The chronology is there, but you're reluctant to accept it.
  • Fox Kids 2001 report: the Jetix 2006, 2007 and 2008 reports (all embedded in my first keep argument) lists Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia operations as separate ones, not linked to the CEE feed, already expanding its coverage to Turkey and the MENA region. Again, you're proving my point about the Turkish and Middle Eastern operations being linked together as a sole feed since there isn't any "Middle Eastern" Fox Kids/Jetix/Disney XD channel per se, also stated on the Jetix reports. Israel had an independent Fox Kids feed launched in 2001 as part of that deal with Middle East Communication Holdings, later rebranded in 2005 as Jetix and then turned into an independent Disney Channel.
@Spshu: you're reluctant to comprehend this matter. You mentioned a made out cite from a reference which states a different stand on you, you're still unable to understand that the EMEA channel was launched after the inauguration of the UK feed and served Eastern Europe, Turkey the Middle East and North Africa in a gradual way and not all of a sudden, that the channel entered to the Sub-Saharan African market just 6 years ago already rebranded as Disney XD via satellite TV provider DStv and still insisting on it. --Bankster (talk) 07:48, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I do comprehend this matter and I prove none of your points. I revamped/rewrote the DXD, the list of DXD, Disney Channel Worldwide, Jetix articles. I found no EMEA channel in my research. There has been no source that indicates a continual EMEA channel from Fox Kids to Jetix to DXD to present day not even starting as CEE. Turkey & Middle East and CEE were recognized as separate channels in the later annual reports (2007, 2008). Some of the annual reports are unclear in some spots it says Turkey channel and some places CEE feed covering Turkey. Just the CEE article would say it was extend to Turkey then served by its own channel. Turkey & ME article would say that Turkey was served by CEE before getting its own channel. That is the most you might get from your sources. Since there is no direct mention of an EMEA channel, you are WP:SYNTHESIS its existence. Spshu (talk) 15:23, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of caves of Maryland[edit]

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

This article has had a refimprove tag since 2010 and has not been acted on. The negligible amount of content that is cited does not directly apply to the article content. A lot of the editing is original research as seen in the edit summaries and the quality of content added. Additionally, because the article subject is about a specific book stating it's the "principal source for information", referencing that book would be effectively citing a primary source repeatedly which is against Wikipedia's policies. This could lead to plagiarism/copyright infringement if it could be discerned what is material from the book (if any) and what is original research on this article. A discussion about this has been started on the talk page but has been ignored by those who edit the article's content. For these reasons, the article has been nominated for deletion, as deleting uncited material would leave almost nothing left in the article. Leitmotiv (talk) 01:17, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content
I'm going to add my latest discussion from the article's talk page, with some minor edits to it.
What an edit would look like if all uncited material were removed
Okay editors, I went through and did a preliminary edit and I'm posting my results here, so you can see what it would look like beforehand. But first, I'll share with you my thoughts on the Notes section of this article. Keep in mind that "Notes" aren't actually references/citations. They're supposed to act as additional commentary that would otherwise distract from the narrative or the narrative's cadence, but is important to the article's content. It appears the notes in this article are behaving like references, but are marked up as notes erroneously. These notes should be converted.
Note #1 should be converted to a ref. The following sentence suggests that the book Caves of Maryland is the "principal source of information" about this article, and the first sentence in this article suggests the reference book is the subject of the article in no small part. Therefore, I'd treat the book Caves of Maryland as a primary source because it's the principal source; it is likely to be referenced a lot. In fact, the article goes on to say it will use the book as an "outline" further declaring its intention to copy it, or behave like the book. The book can still be referenced, but primary sources are usually only cited to prove the existence of something or to prove information about it's publication, such as publishing information (date, author, press, etc). Citing this book multiple times is not what this article wants to be doing. At the very least (and probably at the very most too), this book can be referenced after the very first sentence.
Note #2 is a dead link and the bot that takes care of dead links either hasn't gotten to it yet, or perhaps no substitute exists. Not sure how those bots work exactly. But it doesn't really matter, because the note appears to be defining what a cave is, which is not necessary for this article, nor is it the focus of this article. You could direct someone to the cave article for that. Therefore it can be entirely deleted since the adjacent content is also uncited.
Note #3 is about the Maryland Geological Survey, but appears to be noting the specificity of Hagerstown Valley having well-established waterways, which the link does not specifically say. Nor does the website say anything about caves or any specific cave as far as I can see. So the note does not support the sentence, nor does the sentence refer to the note. Therefore it is entirely deleted. No harm really done, since this article is about caves and not about underlying waterways.
Note #4 is also a dead link. If no one can find a replacement, everything it's noting is tentatively deleted. It appears the note was referencing "ridge-lines" of the Catoctin area, which arguably adds nothing to the dialogue of the article, and certainly not after the related uncited material is deleted.
Note #5 appears to be valid supporting material. Even though the direct link has zero information supporting the written content, the search engine on that site supports the claim that John Friend Cave and Crabtree Cave are protected by the Nature Conservancy. If this note were converted to a reference and the url links made more direct, those two caves would remain a part of the article.
Note #6 " A (sic) History of Western Maryland [with Illustrations]" is noted for Marker Cave. Again, another note that was probably intended as a reference. I assume it's supporting the fact that Marker Cave was the focus of an archaeological investigation that revealed the remains of Native Americans. The book itself can be found here and is searchable. A search in the document for "Marker" reveals no mention of a cave by that name and therefore the note, if it were to be converted, does not support the claim. A search for "bodies", "mummy", "mummies", "skeleton", and "remains" also did not come up with anything close to supporting the claim about Marker Cave. Everything in this section should be deleted.
All right, so what would the article look like after my edits? Here is the remaining content:
List of caves of Maryland
List of caves of Maryland is based on the book The Caves of Maryland by William E. Davies.[1] It's predecessor was a series of reports by Martin Muma in the mid-1940s, working under the Maryland Geological Survey. After the release of these articles, a more comprehensive study was begun in 1946 by Davies and The Caves of Maryland was released in 1950. Since its publication, this reference work has remained the principal source for information about Maryland caves, and has served as an outline for the work to follow.
List of caves:
  • Crabtree - A cave protected by the The Nature Conservancy[2]
  • Crystal Grottoes - Maryland's only show-cave, developed in the Tomstown Dolomite at 420 feet (130 m) elevation.
  • Cumberland Bone Cave - A fossil-filled cave along the western slope of Wills Mountain on the outskirts of Cumberland, Maryland near Corriganville in Allegany County, Maryland.
  • John Friend - A cave protected by the Nature Conservancy[2]
And that's it. Not much of a list, and hardly worth contributing to another article. And hardly worth an article about a List of Caves of Maryland. Leitmotiv (talk) 01:35, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mostly moot, because the "Caves of Maryland" source is found to be available for free on-line (see below). And I will reply in detail to the original posting of this comment at Talk:List of caves of Maryland. --Doncram (talk) 14:49, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ref improvement tag has been in place since 2010 with no action taken. I don't think anyone wants to rewrite the article. Leitmotiv (talk) 19:09, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, Have you read the article? Your comments seem to suggest not. A lot of content looks like original research which is not allowed. None of it is cited despite a 10 year tag being in place. You can't prove if it's plagiarism or copyvio because nothing is cited- hinting at original research for the mass bulk of it! You also seem to have glossed over the fact that the book itself would be the primary source and citing it a hundred times would be a violation of Wikipedia policies. As for adding to the List of U.S. Caves - not much can be added. That list does not get descriptions. The most you could do is add redlinks with citations, except for Cumberland Bone Cave, which I just added. I disagree that a merge to a list article with an established format at odds with this contested article is what needs to occur. Leitmotiv (talk) 06:45, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your complaint boils down to the fact you should want to tag the article with ((no footnotes)), which calls for inline citations. I just revised the lede of the article and added that tag for you.
Otherwise:
  • Note that many of the items could be valid for separate articles in Wikipedia. Having a list-article which covers them is better than creating separate articles for each one. The coverage of each is better in a list-article which provides overall context. Having the list-article avoids cycle of article creation and deletion and re-creation of each separate article; the list-article coverage provides a good target for merger/redirect of separate articles. Note that all of these are geological features, supporting their individual validity.
  • The article seems to have been written by spelunker(s) interested in the topic of caves in Maryland. It appears to be comprehensive, covering all or nearly all known caves which meet the definition for a cave which is clearly stated in the article. This is good.
  • A typical example item is :

    Cumberland Quarry - Wills Creek Formation at 720 feet (220 m) elevation. On the south side of Wills Creek, opposite Valley Street in Cumberland. There are two crawlways here in a tightly folded section of the Wills Creek Formation, on the east face of an old quarry.

This is FINE. It would be improved by having an inline citation, but there is no contention suggested by the deletion nominator that this cave does not exist. I think it is fine to reflect the spelunker's interest in "two crawlways".
Another example, also with no contended information is:

Devil's Den - located south of Flintstone on the farm once owned by an H. Jackson. The entrance is on a wooded hillside and can be found by following the strike of the rocks northeast from a spring adjacent the house. Local tradition holds that children have played here for many years, though no dates are known to occur in the cave. The entrance is at 1,030 feet (310 m) elevation and can be easily deduced by the following means: the cave represents a lesser-used drainway of Flintstone Creek, where it plunges below the surface behind the school until its resurgence at the Jackson spring where it joins the other half of Flintstone Creek as a tributary of the Murley Branch. The cave is part of an upper level located around 1,030 feet (310 m), directly above the subterranean branch of the Flintstone, both of which occur in a thin band of the Tonoloway Formation adjacent to the Wills Creek Shale and Keyser Limestone. The present owner, Donald Jackson, reports the rear portion of the cave to be collapsing. He said the cave is considered to be closed.

For this one, an inline citation would also be helpful. And the current tense should be avoided; whatever the "present" owner said should be explained as being of a given year or more precise date, otherwise it is not encyclopedic. I would not mind this entry being edited down, but I have no doubt that this "Devil's Den" is a cave in Maryland.
  • I completely disagree with the deletion nominators purported suggestion for an alternate text, which is basically a joke. That is the best he/she can write given their lack of knowledge and sources about the topic and their arbitrary decision to reject all information which is apparently from the "Caves of Maryland" source, which is apparently an excellent source on the topic. In Wikipedia, we benefit from various contributors having access to off-line sources and providing good material based on them. We don't need to delete anything that one editor doesn't believe because they have not the same background or access to information. For example, should we delete Wikipedia's coverage of Einstein's theory of general relativity, merely because you and I don't really grok it? --Doncram (talk) 20:32, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram Why are you ignoring the fact this is all basically original research? As an admin, you must be familiar with it as it's "one of three core content policies" of Wikipedia. A citation improvement need has been up for 7 years and no one has done anything, so per WP:OR it can be deleted since almost none of the content can be verified. Leitmotiv (talk) 21:24, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That is nonsense; you have no basis to belief that there is any original research at all. It seems rather more likely that the list of caves is based on the apparently excellent source, "Caves of Maryland", which you have not obtained. You also would completely dismiss that source, because it is too directly on-topic and valid as a source, so much so that you wish to term it "primary" and therefore not allowed, which is incorrect reasoning. For one thing, see wp:PRIMARY (i think it is) about how primary sources can in fact be used with appropriate care. I strongly believe that the "Caves of Maryland" is a perfectly valid source for a list of caves in Maryland. From what is reported in this Wikipedia article, it is a well-produced result of multiple studies, revisions, involvement of many parties; there is no reason to dismiss this as if it is merely one spelunker's personal and creative diary.
Just to share: I happen to work mostly on articles about historic sites listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The vast majority of the 63,728 NRHP articles in Wikipedia are each mostly based on the available NRHP nomination document for each site. I think you would want to delete them all because you would claim those are all invalid sources. Well, the consensus of Wikipedians is against that, because the documents are held to be well-constructed, reviewed works that come out of an editorial process better than Wikipedia's own process. Each document does include some primary information about its site, including reporting on the then-current condition of the property in the nominator's observation, but they also reflect expertise of the nominator and of editors/reviewers, and they also utilize and reference other sources, so they include secondary or tertiary type information. You have zero idea, apparently, of the quality of "Caves of Maryland" source and the process by which it was generated in its initial 1950 form and later updates, or you dismiss what is available about it (and is included in the article) being apparently of quite good quality.
I will acknowledge one thing for you: it is conceivable that language in the Wikipedia article hews too close to the "Caves of Maryland" source. On NRHP articles, I and other editors occasionally find that a new contributor has inappropriately copied from the NRHP nomination document. For example, the other day I removed a lot of text from one NRHP article because I compared the NRHP document to the Wikipedia article and found there to be inappropriate overlap. However, the vast majority of NRHP articles are fine, and pass review when the main source document is checked. Often new editors write in different style, and just need to be coached to use inline citations to make the work better. If/when you do obtain the "Caves of Maryland" source and find specific problems, then it would be appropriate to edit down any problematic overlap. But based on my experience with multiple new editors of NRHP articles over many years, my best guess here is that the material is fine (but could be improved with editing as I suggest on two examples above).
This AFD raises issues which are appropriate for the article's Talk page (and which have been raised there and have obtained some discussion, including by editors User:Thincat and User:DMACKS). I see no basis for deletion as proposed. --Doncram (talk) 21:51, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram Just one quick comment. As a "spelunker" I do have basis, and a lot of this reads like original research based on the edit summaries and the content itself and my familiarity with cave exploration (trip reports) reports. But the point remains, a citation tag has been in place for 7 years and no one is willing to cite the information to prove it's not original research, therefore it can be deleted.
More response, I fully understand how primary sources work. I understand you can use them sparingly, and usually to prove something about the source itself such as publishing information or to merely prove something exists. But repeatedly using a primary source can verge on, or become, plagiarism. This article has made no qualms, that the book is the direct source of information, and the focus of, for this article. The editors in the lede have even admitted the book "has served as an outline for the work to follow" which you blatantly omitted in your recent edit of the article, but is still proof of the intent of this page regardless of your intent to obfuscate it. Leitmotiv (talk) 22:01, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I removed the "refimprove" tag from 7 years ago, so that is no longer a problem. I added "no footnotes" tag dated 2017 which calls for more specific inline citations.
  • Okay, I will take your word that much of the material sounds like what spelunkers term "trip reports". It appears to me that the article is based largely on the "Caves of Maryland" source, which indeed could be a nice compendium of spelunkers' "trip reports". It may indeed be a very well-verified, quadruple-checked, well-written such compendium, i.e. an excellent source to use in this article.
  • I hear your point that "repeatedly using a primary source can verge on, or become, plagiarism" and I basically don't agree that applies. I doubt that the list itself is copyrightable. The source "Caves of Maryland" indubitably lists numerous caves. Each cave can be mentioned in this list-article, with an inline citation for each one. Of course I do not have the source and I don't truly know whether or not the introductory material in the article follows too closely. But for an NRHP article there can be many many inline citations to just one NRHP nomination document, with no problem of plagiarism of wording or of content/organization. It depends: you have to see the damn source, which you confess you have not consulted.
  • You seem to contradict yourself: you want to dismiss all material as original research (i.e. made up by the original editor) and you want to dismiss it as entirely copied from one source (which by all appearances appears to be a truly excellent resource on the topic). Make up your mind.
  • Please note wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP applies. Just because you don't like the article, doesn't mean it deserves deletion. In fact, it is incredibly obvious that a list of caves in Maryland can be legitimately split out from the list of caves in the United States as a whole.
  • Your personal sense, stated at the Talk page, that the article "seems like original research" is in fact your personal speculation, i.e. pretty much it is your own original research, and is not basis for deletion of the article or any material in it. It seems silly to try to discuss anything much more without someone actually consulting the source. Tell you what: withdraw this AFD to avoid further waste of time. Figure out how to buy a copy of the book, or better buy two copies. Send me an email and I will give you my mailing address and I will reimburse you for the cost or pay for it myself in advance. But otherwise, if you have not consulted the main source, this AFD is really useless. --Doncram (talk) 22:28, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The book is likely out of print, so that's a moot point. Perhaps you do bring up a good point about considering whether or not such an article should exist separate from the fact that the article is of poor quality. The article I believe falls under Wikipedia:Listcruft anyway and as an alternative could be merged with List of caves in the United States. Of course, only the most notable caves should be listed, every hole in the ground does not deserve a mention.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:57, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's available for $9.99 (not sure if this is 1950 version or 1971 version) or $35 (1971 version) and up, in 2 seconds looking at Amazon for used copies. I await the deletion nominator contacting me privately.
  • I don't think the article should be merged into the U.S.-wide one, because its list of specific caves is already very large and it also includes nice introductory setup about the geology of Maryland, etc., which is too long for the U.S.-wide list. It is fine for this to be split out on basis of size.
  • The article includes a nice one-sentence definition of what size caves count for the list-article, namely that the cave has to be big enough to hold a human. It is highly appropriate for editors of a list-article to discuss inclusion criteria at the Talk page of the article. Since "Caves of Maryland" adopts the stated definition, it is probably good for this list-article to use the same. It is not an arbitrary cutoff; it is the cutoff adopted by the premier source on the topic. If there is a different (larger size) cutoff used at the U.S. list-article, then the Maryland section there could just list the bigger Maryland caves which meet that cutoff, while using the smaller size cutoff in the separate Maryland article. --Doncram (talk) 23:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
According to the article two definitions of a cave are given 1. "All caves given in the 1976 republication of Caves of Maryland will be listed below by county" and 2."For purposes of this article, a cave is defined as any subterranean cavity large enough for a human to enter. This definition was adopted by the Caves of Maryland source and led its authors to include several shelter caves, fissures, and mines that in states with larger, more complex cave systems, might otherwise go unlisted." I don't think shelter caves and mines are worthy of inclusion here. According to the second definition I could dig a hole in my backyard and as long as a person could fit in it, I could include it in the article.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:49, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Really? If you did that and put it into the article then I would probably call that vandalism. You would not have any source documenting as a cave meeting the "Caves of Maryland" standard, though, so you wouldn't put it in, and it would not be an issue. I doubt there are unnatural examples like your hypothetical one, but is there a specific cave listed in the book and this article which you wish to object to, and call for revision of the current item inclusion standard? Please do bring it up at the Talk page for discussion.I think the two "definitions" are fine: yes we define the given standard, and we list all the examples covered in the available source. If there is a cave which doesn't meet both "definitions", then that can certainly be brought up. This hypothetical issue is not an issue for AFD. --Doncram (talk) 01:48, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resetting my response here Doncram. I had a bigger response, but your guys' edits buried it and I lost my edit.

You mentioned that you switched the tag to "no footnotes". Sure, fine. But that doesn't change this article's citation problem going on 7 years. Call it footnotes, call it references, the point is moot - almost nothing is cited.

You also mentioned "each cave can be mentioned in this list-article, with an inline citation for each one"... yeah, that's the point of my submission here. Each cave certainly could be mentioned, in fact, they just may be mentioned. But it looks like you finally hit the nail on the head here... there are no citations for any of the caves listed. Great recommendation Doncram, but it's been pointed out 7 years ago.

And lastly you suggest I contradict myself. Good point, I may just be contradicting myself in a manner of speaking, but as you can see it's easy to do. The article suggests it's following form of the book it intended (but failed) to reference these past years. What has happened in many cases, I suspect, is that original research was done. Certainly the intent was good when this article started but now we can't tell what is legitimate reference material and what is original research. My suggestion is to blow it up. Nary a thing can be transferred to an existing list. This article barely reads as a list and should be retitled, definitely reworked, and everything cited.

But again, the time to do all this was 7 years ago and not a single editor has lifted a finger. And no Doncram, I have no intention of buying a book for a one time use. Feel free though. I feel the editors who created this page should take up that mantle, they seem to be the experts.

As for Rusf10, I have no issue with what is and what isn't a cave, except maybe that Wikipedia already defines what a cave is at the Cave article. Consistency is important in my book. The only thing applicable here is that the article cave entries need citations. This article has pretty much nothing in that regard. Spot on assessment with the listcruft though, I made that same assessment on the article's talk page a month ago. Leitmotiv (talk) 03:01, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There may well be other editing required, e.g. for the "Allegheny High School" cave, there is only very brief info available in the source, and the current Wikipedia article single sentence about it is reworded but not hugely different. When the source is about the same size as what you are trying to write, I find it is almost impossible to avoid close paraphrasing while still being accurate and not changing the meaning; I prefer to use an explicit quote rather than try to "summarize"; summarizing in your own words works when you are reducing down from a larger source.
So anyhow, there is editing to do in the List of caves of Maryland article, but it does appear to be improvable using the truly excellent source from the Maryland Geological Society. This AFD should be quickly closed as "Keep", and discussion moved to the Talk page of the article. --Doncram (talk) 04:03, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've never doubted this article is improvable as noted by my October comments on the article's discussion page. I have had doubts about whether anyone wanted to improve this article. Nothing has changed Doncram. The "no footnotes" tag still exists and the entire article needs citing, or large chunks are going to be deleted. Are you offering to do the legwork?
Also, looking at one of the entries and comparing it to the source - I-68 Caves is not mentioned anywhere in your source. It appears to be entirely original research just as I suspected. I went through and did a rough look at the remaining caves are in the source, and it looks like almost the entire county of Garrett is original research. A few of the other counties have a couple unsourceable entries as well. I'd guess 70% of the article could be cited by this once source, which suggests the original writeup for this cave was correct that is was essentially copying this source as nearly as it could, making it the primary source, by definition and by straight comparison. This article has to be very careful not to plagiarize. Leitmotiv (talk) 04:35, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, we'll keep it. This makes most of it verifiable and article can be improved provided someone wants to commit to a significant cleanup. However, there still has to be a better standard for which caves to include. That book lists 148 caves, not all of them can possibly be notable enough for wikipedia.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:45, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be just another crypto currency articles. The sourcing gives no evidence of notability. Much seems to be own web-site and blogs , press releases and linkedin. Nothing here hints at notability. Fails WP:GNG and appears to be an advertising puff piece  Velella  Velella Talk   14:20, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Computing-related deletion discussions. MT TrainDiscuss 18:49, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WHY ARK SHOULD BE LISTED ON WIKIPEDIA FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE:

- The article is TOTALLY UNBIASED. The technological discussion and history are factual and (almost) entirely sourced (and certainly accurate). - At this point Ark is a top 30 cryptocurrency, making it a $350 million company. - It has official legal residence in France. - Its founders have worked for the EU and countless multinationals. - The company is developing unique technology. - At this point several dozen cryptocurrencies are listed on Wikipedia, including ones around the same height as Ark and even ones MUCH lower: Lisk, IOTA, Stratis, Waves and even Dogecoin, Vertcoin, Namecoin, Gridcoin, etc. So why should Ark be removed when these are untouched?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies

- The complainer, Velella, earlier wholesale removed portions of the article I had written, including ones as unbiased as possible. - Who says competitors and investors aren't unbiased and are trying to get Ark's page removed? - There's no rule on Wikipedia that says only top 10 or top 20 coins can be listed. - As long as the info is factual, certainly the listing of top 50 coins shouldn't be an issue. - The mainstream media shouldn't be a be all, end all criteria for legitimate young/start up projects.

I am not the complainer, I am simply an editor who cannot see notability in the article or find it in searches about the article's subject. I did indeed remove a swathe of unsourced content which made it look even more promotional and less worth saving. I was attempting to salvage something of note. However, it was not to be. Nothing added since has provided any significant evidence of notability.  Velella  Velella Talk   22:16, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]


ANSWER: The facts I mention speak for themselves and address your complaints - and then some. If you delete Ark, also delete 80% of the coins listed here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies

Where do you draw the line? Top 100? Top 50? Top 10? IOTA is in the top 10 now I assume. Hardly ever an article written about - if ever - and pretty questionable leadership. Still on Wikipedia.

A registered (in France no less instead of Switzerland or an off-shore) $350 million start-up company with very legitimate leadership and about which tens of thousands of people are looking for information deserves to be on Wikipedia, certainly while it is getting worth more and more and more. If it crashes and burns, or looks inactive, or has shady characters involved, it is an entirely different matter. Then it can always be deleted.

Also added all possible competition as far as they are listed on Wikipedia, so people can compare features. I don't work for Ark. And I got just as much interest in the competition - at various times. I'm a hobbyist who enjoys studying cryptos.

You're trying to win an argument purely for the sake of winning. Not on consistency or reason.

Jarunik The main point of this discussion is to show notability. This generally requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic.

Galobtter (pingó mió) 09:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe you made, and are making, mistakes on both Reedsy and this article? The mistake being that you feel yourself empowered to judge the strength of reliable sources rather than their existence. I think this is a slippery path in that by trying to measure the strength of a source, we are overriding the judgment of the editors of publications such as The Guardian and others, and substituting our personal ideas about a subject's notability. My advice is: please stick to the general notability guideline. It has worked, it works, it will work in the future.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:27, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The GNG has always been open to interpretation and there is no clarity to be gained by "sticking to it". I prefer to see a bit more depth of coverage - I don't think a decent, neutral article can be written here without sacrificing reliability and accuracy. In addition, as far as I'm aware, there is consensus that interviews don't normally contribute to notability, so neither should one-sentence pieces of advice given by the subject.

No indication of notability beyond being a localized branch party of a larger political party. Most party groupings stop at the state level unless they have particular news that makes national news. Only one news article from a local newspaper and it mentions both the Democrats and the Republicans from the county asking for young people to vote, nothing terribly notable.

The result was redirect to Nuestra Belleza El Salvador#Representatives in Big Four pageants. Sans the impressive sock/meatpuppetry clear policy-based consensus.A redirect is more beneficial than an outright deletion.Also, see WP:OSE.

There's been a bit of back and forth on this one recently, but it's generally accepted that being crowned a local beauty queen doesn't make someone notable, and nor does competing in Miss Universe (unless you win). The only source - the rest were unreliable - only mentions her in passing. Note: image is also up for deletion at Commons. Black Kite (talk) 00:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very true, but I had a good attempt at it per WP:BEFORE and couldn't find anything useful about her. I speak decent Spanish as well and couldn't find anything in local news either. There was this [61] but that turns out to be copied off her own Facebook page, as does everything else (including the flickr stuff) which isn't copied off an old version of our own article (which was largely copied from her old social media). If someone else can dig something up, go for it. Black Kite (talk) 00:24, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd be fine with a redirect. Note that I didn't say that Miss Universe contestant are generally considered non-notable, but that people are generally not considered notable purely because they've been an entrant in Miss Universe - there's a big difference there. And bear in mind this was effectively an unsourced BLP when I nominated it. Black Kite (talk) 23:35, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the sources arguement, i think can be addressed; there appears to be sufficient material about her out there, in the venues where one would expect such coverage to be.
Lx 121 (talk) 10:07, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well done for finding sufficient sources about her - it was more than I could do! - could you add them to the article please (as of course otherwise your comment will bear no weight)? Thanks - Black Kite (talk) 10:18, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
i refer you to the above-posted examples, to spanish-language news & celebrity coverage IN El Salvador, to the inks already present on the article, & to google; try searching "julia mora el salvador", with google set to prefer SPANISH LANGUAGE results, & i think you will find a sufficiency of material to establish the factuality of her existence, her winning the title, & therest of what is claimed in the wp article.
also worth pointing out that the Miss El Salvador is a national "finals", hardy a "local" beauty contest; respectfully, see my comment re: cultural biases
best- Lx 121 (talk) 11:40, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So in other words, you didn't actually bother finding any? That's a shame. The above-posted examples bar one are not reliable sources, which is why they were removed in the first place. Black Kite (talk) 18:43, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
no, "in other words" i do not agree with your "cherrypicking" sources to rationalise a deletion. WHERE EXACTLY do you expect to find coverage of el salvadorean beauty-pagent/actress/celebs? in the cia factbook perhaps, or maybe 'the economist'? & on what criteria are you "excluding" these? do you disoute the factuality of her existence? her name? her beauty pagent title? AND if you had "botherd" to try the searches i suggesed, you'd have found some ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, including multiple video materials @ youtube; tv interviews, etc. w.a.d.r. Lx 121 (talk) 18:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I did. As I said above, I found practically nothing (and I speak decent Spanish). Do you believe that El Salvador is somehow isolated from the Internet? That people from El Salvador have never appeared in reliable sources? It's not the Moon, you know. Please feel free to add this "ADDITIONAL MATERIAL" to the article, instead of complaining that other people do the work for you. Black Kite (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I never nominated this page for deletion,i simply said the phantom editor/sock puppet that keeps editing with fake birthdates,etc needs to be blocked. I was suggesting the page be locked,not deleted.

It would be great if Miss El Salvador could publish a video in Spanish with English sub titles detailing all her romantic realationships,marriages and any children.
