Not a notable report. Having looked this up, if you do a simple Wikipedia search excluding both the words Wikipedia and blog, to exclude ourselves and unacceptable sources, we end up with just the NY Times referencing the report (once) and a lone university reference.

On the other hand, I haven't seen a clear policy reason yet to withdraw the AFD. Perhaps a solution might be to give the article a few months for it to develop. If it's a substantial article by then, the reasons for keep would be clear. Note that I don't intend to monitor the article and nominate for AFD at that time.

This is a prototype of the Lockheed F-104, not sufficiently different to get another article. Suggest merge and redirect (better) or merge and delete (not as good). Both planes have the same wing and height. No explanation to why they are totally different planes because they probably are not.

Would be a shame after I spent a lot of time on it. The F-104 page has editing problems already. There is a list of 'XF' fighters with their own articles, The XF-104 was missing. Will you tag F-104S, CF-104 and CL1200 for deletion also, you have to by the same thinking? I would be genuinely interested to hear what others think.Nimbus227 19:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid to get involved in the current F-104 article although I would like to, it is mentioned in the WP Aviation project as a page needing attention. I am certain that any edits I made to it would be reverted whether they were factual and referenced or not. Other editors are struggling in there. Nimbus227 20:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks guys, I think that article is barely a week old so it has hardly had a chance to mature. Dennis, I have been bold a couple of times and there were no reversions probably because I used known facts, thanks for the encouragement. It is probably easy in here to slash edit without explanation but I have always explained my edits, I believe in the idea of getting to the truth through consensus (hope I spelt that right). Is it a question of limited webspace or an individuals idea of tidiness? Nimbus227 21:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find it all a bit strange really. By the proposers reason the F-104S (basically an F-104 with different avionics and missiles), the CF-104 (admittedly an F-104G for Canada) and the CL-1200 Lancer (F-104 with a high wing/low tail) should all also be tagged. Merging the XF-104 in to the main article would lose links to Tony LeVier etc, and make the article longer where it is already struggling. Several articles now link to the XF-104 where they did not before.
I notice the F-4 Phantom has its own page for variants and that is fairly cluttered.
Intrigued to see what happens but thanks to those who support the article remaining anyway.Nimbus227 20:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Does not assert notability, and likely cannot because of its newness (it was released yesterday according to Amazon). Several of the book's contributors are notable, but not all works by notable authors are worthy of articles. Additionally, the page appears to have been created by one of the book's editors (see WP:COI). Flex (talk/contribs) 15:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"Much like just a policy or guideline, simply stating that the subject of an article is not notable does not provide reasoning as to why the subject may not be notable. Therefore, try to explain to other editors why the subject of an article may not be notable. Instead of saying, "Non-notable," consider using "No reliable sources found to establish notability," or "The sources are not independent, and so cannot establish that the subject passes our standards on notability". Providing specific reasons why the subject may not be notable gives other editors an opportunity to supply sources that establish or confirm the subject's notability. The mirror of "Just not notable" is the assertion that something is notable, but fails to provide an explanation or source for the claim of notability. Notability requires an explanation so that other editors may be able to verify the claim as well as seek sources. An explanation is also helpful in deciding whether or not the subject of an article meets existing policies and guidelines that may cover the subject."
Even if this argument is found wanting, there can be no qualms over the notoriety of its contributors (NT Wright [Bishop of Durham], Rowan Williams [Archbishop of Canterbury], CFD Moule, Miroslav Volf, Richard Rohr, Marcus Borg, etc.), and the collaboration of such an elite group is indeed noteworthy.
Additionally, the person responsible for requesting the deletion of this article is clearly merely in opposition to the opinions expressed in the book, as can be determined by the items he or she typical writes about: i.e. limited atonement, Calvinism, irresistible grace, and total depravity. In this sense, the aforementioned person merely wishes to restrict the book's exposure and the promulgation of its viewpoint. Therefore, this person's real reason for wanting the deletion of this article actually falls under another unacceptable reason for deleting an article, namely "I just don't like it."
Notwithstanding these arguments, the reason of lack of notability is nullified by the book's academic nature as per Wikipedia's policy on Notability (Books):
Academic books: "Academic books serve a very different function and come to be published through very different processes than do books intended for the general public. They are often highly specialized, have small printing runs, and may only be available in specialized libraries and bookstores. For these reasons, the bulk of standards delineated previously for mainstream books are incompatible in the academic bailiwick. Again, common sense should prevail. In that case, notability should rely on the reputation of the academic press publishing it,[8] how widely the book is cited by other academic publications or in the media,[9] how influential the book is considered to be in its specialty area and whether it is taught or required reading in a number of reputable educational institutions."
The book is published by one of the most reputable Christian publications (Eerdmans) and is soon going to be evaluated by a panel at the next American Academy of Religion (the largest and most prestigious religious society in the world) annual meeting in San Diego in November, 2007. Furthermore, the endorsements on the back and inside first few pages attest to its wide reception by very reputable scholars in the field.
Also, even if the article was added by one of the editors, which is at any rate mere speculation, the article itself does not provide a glowing review of its content to any degree, but instead outlines the content of the book in a very dispassionate manner. Certainly there is no need to delete the article based on such a criterion, and if there is a conflict of interest here, it lies with the person requesting the deletion of this article as demonstrated above.
There is no reason to delete this article other than that the content of the book's material is in opposition to a certain strain of Christian thought, and the continued marketing of this book therefore threatens said strain of Christian thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexorandi81 (talk • contribs) 23:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, Just some background info: 6hr Sundae is a popular rock band in Turkey and have released video clips, done TV interviews with big stations and played at major concerts. Kay.K is a lead singer, producer, songwriter and drummer of the band. Notability of 6hr Sundae: Due to the continually updating nature of the music industry, songs don't stay in the charts for long and websites are updated to reflect the new changes. The 6hr Sundae (known as 6 Saat overseas) album was released early this year and has already placed and been removed from the charts. Therefore it's extremely difficult to find currently live links. However, we have attached a few from a radio station and some screen dumps to prove the success of the band:
I understand that YouTube and the bands website are not considered as solid evidence, however there are many video clips and TV interviews posted there proving the popularity and success, hence notability, of the band. Kay.K.BayZ is the producer of the album, a songwriter, lead singer and drummer in the band. I have read through the Wikipedia criteria ("composers and lyricists" and "musician and artist") and believe that Kay.K qualifies under each/any of these:
The Kay.K.BayZ website is new. Kay.K is more a record producer than an artist...And this should also explain why most links are to and from MySpace. I am prepared to remove any part of the article that may sound like advertising/spam to make sure we are providing information about Kay.K and not advertising him. Regards, Kudret KayKBayZ 00:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi thanks for the prompt response. As you suggested, there will soon be an article about 6hr Sundae on Wikipedia as well. And ofcourse as you mentioned, notability is not inherited and none of the other 6hr Sundae members will have a Wikipedia entry just yet. Kay.K however, according to the criteria for "composers and lyricists" is notable (see above). And if you feel any part of the article is self-promotion and does not fit in with the Wikipedia Encyclopedia format please let me know so we can make the required alterations. Kind Regards, Kudret KayKBayZ 15:56, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Firstly, I'd like to point out that this is meant to be an informative article and if in any way it comes across as self promotion please let me know which sections so we can fix them immediately. I think we agree that 6hr Sundae is notable due to their popularity and success overseas? Well my interpretation of the WP:MUSIC Criteria for composers and lyricists is that Kay.K is notable because he:

Kind Regards,
Kudret KayKBayZ 01:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few things that I am having trouble understanding. Can you please clarify to me why this article doesn't qualify in a little more detail than "sounds like self promotion" or "still no notability"?
To my understanding and interpretation of the Wikipedia criteria Kay.K.BayZ qualifies. We already agree that 6hr Sundae is notable right? Well under the criteria for composers and lyricists Kay.K is notable. I think my interpretation of that section is accurate.
I have explained why web presence for key terms "Kay.K.BayZ" is small at the moment but have told you that under his real name "6 Sundae Kudret" there are a couple of pages of links. Perhaps I should include that in the main article so people know who it's about?
I appreciate the work you are doing to keep Wikipedia advertising free. I hope you don't misunderstand my tone in these discussions... :) Kudret KayKBayZ 21:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was keep, as the references provided in the references section are sufficient to establish a presumption of notability for this building per Wikipedia's general notability guideline, and there is insufficient evidence of a consensus to override this presumption. John254 02:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I do not believe that this meets notability standards. This "office building" doesn't seem to be important at all. The only way the article may assert its importance, is saying that "a highly intelligent use of an awkward site, and a way of looking at property development afresh" and "one of Britain's most imaginative new office complexes", however, I don't think that makes this building notable.

No clear notability is presented. Article appears to be written as an advertisement for this individual's groups, businesses and political/religious views, none of which show any amount of notability. Only political office this individual has held was "County Chair of the Independent American Party from 1990 to 1991," a party that, as far as I can discern, was founded in 1998. Individual's writings appear to be self-published and the majority of the information present is sourced by websites owned by the individual or groups the individual founded. Only third-party source provided (this) only confirms that he was a speaker at an internet blogging conference.

The information aquired about the character in question is not from original research and is taken from the game's manuals and contained text. The characters do have a backing story in the game and are notable enough for wikipedia as the main articles about the game contain no information on said characters.

I will start by listing the numerous policies/guidelines that this article fails to meet: 1) WP:AUTO and WP:COI--the article was created by its subject. 2) WP:NPOV, specifically WP:PEACOCK and WP:COATRACK--the first sentence: Frank Parlato (b. 1955) is considered to be one of, if not the world’s leading authority..., an obvious use of peacock words. Also, a majority of the article is not about the subject, thereby making the article a coatrack. 3) WP:OR--the article is comprised entirely of original research. 4) WP:BIO--while minimal notability is asserted, I see no evidence that this person has been the subject of any third-party, reliable sources.
I recognize that the first three reasons I have listed for deleting this article are, individually, not generally considered to be reasons to delete an article. However, as a whole, these three problems have made the article completely unsalvageable and it should therefore be deleted. The fourth problem I have with the article (failure to meet WP:BIO), alone, is another reason to delete this article. Pablo Talk | Contributions 09:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable author whose books are published through vanity press PublishAmerica. Apparently they are due to be republished by Bellissima Publishing, which while not a vanity press does not appear to be very notable, judging by its lack of Google hits and their self description as "small" and "new." This guy is also apparently editor-in-chief of a magazine called Mountain Bike Tales Digital Magazine, which has practically no web presence, and has made contributions of an unknown nature to atvsource.com. A Google search for "jason rider" and his book character "tucker o'doyle" returns only 14 Google hits. Article has a couple claims of notability, but none seem to stand up. -Elmer Clark 01:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable author who has published three books through vanity press iUniverse. Neither her page nor the pages for her books indicate any sort of notability, critical reception, etc for any of her work. Her name produces only 35 Google hits. Nothing at all to indicate that she or her work meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). -Elmer Clark 01:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also included in this nomination:
The result was no consensus. Definitely needs more sources and a clear establishment of notability, though; a future nomination (as conceded by the "keep" proponents) is likely without them. Chick Bowen 02:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A non-notable professional wrestling promotion. Despite valiant attempts, the authors of the article have been unable to provide independent reliable sources asserting the notability of the organisation.

Another apparent hoax by User:Machiavellian93 (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Machiavellian(Hip-Hop artist) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Ramalho). A supposed Cape Verdean soccer team with eight players (all but one surnamed Ramalho, and the remaining player lacking a surname), including—surprise!—Danny Ramalho himself, who must find it difficult to break off his career as an American hip-hop artist whenever he has to travel to appear in a match. Googling for "Sport Clube Ramalho" and "SC Ramalho" turns up nothing. Deor 01:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this not because it's a terrible article (which it is), but because any useful content can easily be merged into something like Foreign relations of Syria. In case this is kept, it should also be moved to something more specific like Syrian government requests for peace talks in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but you see, that's just the issue: it does have a far too specific focus and a merge is the best recourse in this case.

Apparently non-notable author. Has one novel self-published through vanity press AuthorHouse, and his other work consists of chapbooks and such through such suspect presses as Fingerprint Press, Rank Stranger Press, and Thunder Sandwich Press, none of which have Wikipedia articles or much Google presence. The man himself produces only 203 hits, many of which are irrelevant. There simply isn't any indication that this guy meets Wikipedia:Notability (books) at all. -Elmer Clark 00:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable open source software. A search for "picofirewall -wikipedia" first seems promising, returning "about 13,000 hits", but when you click through the results pages, Google gets to around 30 before deciding that the others are "similar to the ones already displayed". The remaining 30 consist chiefly of forum posts and the official project page. I've listed it here because it's already been kept at VfD back in 2005, but the keep arguments back then probably look a bit "unconvincing" by recent standards..

The result wasdelete, as WP:CSD#A1/A3 if nothing else--one sentence stub without assertion of notability.

I can't assess the importance or significance of this book. Low G-hits (3) but that's not unusual for an apparently out-of-print book first published in 1963. This is a listing I found for it: "The Grail, The Psalms: A New Translation from the Hebrew Arranged for Singing to the Psalmody of Joseph Gelineau. Ramsey, New Jersey: Paulist Press, 1963" I think it's non-notable but this isn't really an area of interest for me. Pigman 00:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Grail Psalter is indeed a very important work for the Anglican and Roman catholic churches in the 20th century, and is EXTENSIVELY used. You can buy the 1993 version here: http://www.giamusic.com/search_details.cfm?title_id=3618 More additions to this article are to come. The Grail Psalter was a very integral effort in liturigical renewal, and involved the work of several well known translators and poets (T.S. Eliot). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnmarkf (talk • contribs) 03:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page about a non-notable person. It is extremely POV and is a hidden attack page of Rudy Giuliani. It is basically claiming that Giuliani is a racist. An article about a non-notable person that was only created just to place Giuliani in a bad light should not be here.--Southern Texas 00:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Parties are POV themselves
Giuliani had a history before 2001. He took many actions that were of note. You need to keep in mind that some of his actions were controversial. Raising truths is not creating an attack page.
Pages that serve no purpose but to disparage their subject or some other entity (e.g., "John Q. Doe is an imbecile"). These are sometimes called "attack pages". This includes a biography of a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced, where there is no neutral version in the history to revert to. Administrators deleting such pages should not quote the content of the page in the deletion summary (CSD G10)
Please directly address the controversial parts Where are the controversial parts? The parts that reflect on Giuliani and race are a minor part of the article. The main part deals with Crew's own education and work.
Really, I only created the page to write a bio on Rudy Crew. I happened to notice his comments on Giuliani. He actually criticized Giuliani on the latter's character, not only on the race issue.
I think that the opposing editors should just edit the article itself, raise your points on the Talk Page, or communicate with an editor that has supposedly written controversial edits. Just because there is something negative on Giuliani does not mean that the edits are done in an unprofessional or libelous manner. Dogru144 03:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was keep due to the large number of sources over the last twenty years, as well as the existence of a major movie on the topic. The recent coverage in the New York Times makes it unquestionable. This close should not be construed as a keep for Jennifer Levin, and a merge to Robert Chambers (killer) is strongly recommended.

This is part of a multiple nomination, following discussion of a number of pages at AN/I. Per Wikipedia is not a memorial, a page on this subject should be about the case and not the victim. However, tragic as the case may have been for those connected to it, it is not necessarily clear that the case is notable enough (among the 500+ murders in New York City every year) to warrant its own article.
This is not a "typical" AfD; a few points:
And please try to keep this discussion WP:CIVIL whichever result you lean towards. As you can see from the AN/I discussion, the debate got a little heated — remember this is a discussion of the content of, not the contributors to, the article. Also, MurderWatcher1 (talk · contribs) has stated that he's planning to contact the family of at least one of the subjects of these articles, so — while it shouldn't affect your decision — bear in mind when discussing that persons directly affected by this article may well be reading it. — iridescent (talk to me!) 00:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete: This is very much a legitimate religion. As a student in Jasper, where the Church is located, I have observed an extremely tight collective of followers exhibit by way of actions the teachings of the Tree and practice its pillars ascetically with excruciating attention to detail.

The result was keep, as the references provided in the references section and the external links section are sufficient to establish a presumption of notability for this person per Wikipedia's general notability guideline, and there is insufficient evidence of a consensus to override this presumption.
