Comment There isn't a reference section for the article, it was a lack of references that led me to question this article. The statements made are unsourced.

Comment Even though not all users approve of this, the Bibliography section lists a bunch of sources. For example, this article has examples of bibliography, but then again, it also has in-line cites. TALKIN PIE EATER REVIEW ME 17:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply After reviewing this bibliography, it seems that this is a list of books he wrote. As he wrote them, they are not helpful in establishing his notability. There needs to be neutral third party sources. Presently there are none. If you would like to help this article, please do add references to the article to back up any claims to notability. I have found none and believe the subject to be non notable. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 17:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no citations to reliable sources. Use of the term across media is just a collection of trivia/plot summary.

Creator's comment: This was one of my very first creations, and has lasted this long. I've long since forgotten about it, and it has grown all on its own. Now, of course, I understand the need for sources. I think this term is a bit more than trivial, and a search here should not simply go to Star Wars; the term is even now used in certain video game circles, suggesting the usage is understood by more than just hardcore scifi fans.

Delete Well part of the reason the last AfD resulted in a deletion was because the magazine had only just rolled out (nearly 2 years ago). It's possible that things have changed, but I'm not seeing much notability. There are some mentions in the blogosphere, but even those appear cursory at best. --/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 19:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will admit I may be partisan, as an employee of the company. We are a magazine with almost 50,000 subscribers, hundreds of thousands of visitors to our website, and we've given nearly $1 million to charity. We were the first outside company to curate the homepage of YouTube. We have been written about in Foreign Policy , Boing Boing The New York Times numerous times (among many other places in print and online). This last year, we were nominated for two National Magazine Awards. I'm not sure what other threshold of notability we could possibly have to meet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.106.34 (talk) 22:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The National Magazine Awards are a reasonably big deal, and it (and its articles and business structure) have been the subject of non trivial coverage in respected third party sources. It definitely passes WP:N and WP:CORP. We do need to work all those great sources into the article, though. Vickser (talk) 01:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Vickser makes good arguments, unfortunately the article does not provide this valuable information. Since the vote is based upon the article, I must vote no, but if editors were split, I could give it 2 more weeks. GaryECampbell (talk) 21:41, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, WP:AfD tells us "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD." That said, I'm going to go ahead and try to do some clean up on the article. It's not too bad as is, but with all the other sources out there it can be much better. Vickser (talk) 05:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article does actually provide information about the National Magazine Award 2008 nomination. And also provides a link to non-trivial, published LA Times coverage of the business and its founder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.120.34 (talk) 22:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've substantially expanded the article. I'd encourage you to head over and check out the new reference section. 2 NYT articles, 3 NPR pieces, one WashPost, one Foreign Policy, NMA awards, and the LATimes piece. Plenty of coverage. Vickser (talk) 07:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Copied from Vickser's comment posted on User talk:The Anome: "I've found a bunch more sources about Good magazine and was wondering if you'd consider taking a look at the new article and seeing if you still feel it should be deleted. Among the highlights are three NPR pieces [1] [2] [3], two New York Times stories [4] [5], an article in Inc. Magazine [6], a Foreign Policy Magazine feature [7] and a short piece in the Washington Post [8]. That's on top of the original Los Angeles Times piece [9] and two National Magazine Awards [10]. If that's enough to persuade you, or you just want to comment and say why you think it still need to be deleted, the afd is here. Thanks! Vickser (talk) 08:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)"[reply]
- The above is sufficient to convince me that the article's subject now meets the WP:CORP criteria; accordingly, I'm withdrawing my nomination, and closing this AfD. -- The Anome (talk) 08:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. - Philippe 20:04, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Damián A. Fernández Beanato[edit]

Fails to meet these criteria. Working as a common journalist in an important magazine doesn't make you notable. Besides, this guy is the person who created this page (User:Damfb and I have reasons to think that he is also User:Paleofreak, who created the pages Buenos Aires International Book Fair and Fernando Novas). But, apart from that, he doesn't meet these criteria. I'm a journalist from Argentina, I work at Clarín and this person "is NOT regarded as an important figure nor is widely cited by their peers or successors". Besides, in the Newsweek Argentina article in Spanish wikipedia, it says that this guy works there as a "corrector". I keep looking: this guy says he published articles in Clarín, but I searched Clarín.com (you can search by article author), and I didn't found any article written by him.

Answer: You can find thousands of ANSA articles in Clarín, the newspaper does not give credit to individual writers. But you are right there is no way to check it out. --Miotroyo (talk) 17:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so everybody that works in an International News Agency could say that he writes articles for Clarin, and it's not like that. If you work for ANSA, you work for ANSA, not for Clarin. So, this guy is saying that he works for Clarin, when he isn't. That alone should be enough to delete the article: is an article written by the subject himself, full of exagerations trying to acquire notability. He says he wrote the novel La Orden de los Mundos Libres. Maybe that novel is written, I assure you it isn't published. --PeterCantropus (talk) 21:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peter, don't say what's not true: the article never says that Fernández Beanato works for Clarín.--Miotroyo (talk) 19:54, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says "he published several articles in Clarín", and that's misleading. Of course, maybe some article he wrote while working for ANSA were reproduced by Clarin (you can't prove it), but that's part of working at a News Agency. "Publishing articles in Clarin" means you work for Clarin. If it's not a lie, it's an exageration. But even if you worked at Clarin, that doesn't make you notable either. I DO work at Clarin (if you search my surname in clarin.com archives you WILL come up with a lot of articles), and still I'm not notable, and writing an article about myself in Wikipedia would be very stupid. --PeterCantropus (talk) 20:46, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep looking: the user Damifb was expelled from the Spanish wikipedia, you can check it here. And Miotroyo probably is the same guy. He's the only one that edited this article, along with Damifb and Paleofreak, and he removed the notability tag that Nancy added to the article. Besides, according to this section in his talk page, he tried to list this guy as an atheist in List of atheists article. Of course he couldn't prove it, because his opinions weren't published anywhere. (For the English speaking wikipedians: "Miotroyo" means "My other self") --PeterCantropus (talk) 21:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think there's something you don't (or don't want to) understand about WP:CREATIVE. In the point 3, it says that your work should be "the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". It doesn't mean that if you wrote "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" you are notable. It means that if "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" were written ABOUT YOU, you are notable. Got the difference? --PeterCantropus (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete per well-reasoned arguments for deletion, contrary to the vague and/or non policy and guideline based arguments for keeping. Disregarding all delete arguments because either the policy or guideline involved is in your view disputed, or because the opinion doesn't follow some essay, is not really constructive and rather self-contradictory (if you don't want people to use policies, you certainly shouldn't start using essays in your arguments).

    - Actually it isn't. It says, "The following is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. Thus references or links to this page should not describe it as 'policy'." And a look at its talk page suggests that it is most likely to fail, which is why citing it as policy is either deliberately misleading or just not actually reading it. Sincerely, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 03:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

        You are correct that Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) is not an active guideline but a proposed one, I was referencing it because it is more forgiving towards these sorts of AfDs than Wikipedia:Notability (which is an active guideline), so I'm not sure how that helps your case. I don't care which one (it could be Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts)), if notability can be confirmed it should be kept, if not, deleted. JohnnyMrNinja 14:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Notability is also heavily disputed and undergoing massive disagreement overhow to revise (or even replace) it. Because notability seems obvious it should be kept. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki this to http://sonic.wikia.org if it is not already there, then delete it from Wikipedia. There are no sources present, this article constitutes trivial information as a non-notable part of the series, and it violates WP:NOT#PLOT in that the most of the article is excessive plot summary. It doesn't matter if it can be called cruft or not, this is what the article is made of and I believe it should be deleted on these grounds.

  - So just because it links to other articles and provides a little context that completely fails WP:N, WP:V, WP:NOT#PLOT, etc means it should be kept? No offense, Le Grand Roi, but I see that as being absurd. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...}^{protector of all...} 05:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Deleting it would be absurd as it does more good than not. It unquestionably passes notability (you can't get much more notable in the video game world than Sonic with the exception of say Mario), the characters can easily be verified in the many Sonic publications, and something that is organizational as a list or portal is not restricted by the disputed plot guidelines. --Happy editing! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 07:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - If that's the case, then why is it not verified on the article? Pardon my language, if you find this comment offensive, but "put up or shut up". Now, I didn't say I wouldn't reverse my decision if you can fix it by the end of the AFD period. And unquestionably passes notability? First-party sources cannot be used to establish notability per WP:SELFPUB. Also, I seriously doubt this is a "list or portal" or has any function similar to it. Who looks up "House of Acorn" expecting to link to a bunch of Sonic articles? Only someone seriously acquainted with the comics. I don't think that's definitive enough to make this similar to "a list or portal". Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...}^{protector of all...} 13:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Like a table of contents, you get the verification when you go to the chapters. If you doubt it's function, then why not ask those who worked on it to come to this discussion to see what use they get out of it? People seriously acquainted probably count in the thousands or millions, which makes this article a valuable research tool for them. I am far more interested in that thousands of readers look at the article on a monthly basis and plenty of our editors also see value in devoting their spare time to working on it over the span of years than just a few thinking it should suddenly be deleted now during a mere five day discussion. --Happy editing!

Transwiki to House of Acorn - I agree that the format is acceptable, but the subject is not. I have not been able to find "Real World" (not Mobius) notability of the house itself, or any of the members. If any sources are provided that confirm such notability, I'll vote keep.

  - Coverage from fansites (considering the first three links are Wikipedia/Wikia, as well as the rest of sites that I saw) does not make this notable, per WP:VG/S.

People who come across the name should be able to find some information in Wikipedia The specialized fan wikis are appropriate for the fans, but someone who does not know what this is associated with will not know to look there, but should still be able to find information--and here is the place. The fan wiki can take the further details. The cure for poorly written articles is to spend some time on improving them, not spend tim on deleting them. DGG (talk) 20:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no desire to attempt to argue the disruptive nonsense that User:Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles keeps putting forth. From badgering people and continuously referencing misleading WP links that in no way validate the argument, to misrepresenting editor's comments, to saying that WP:Notability is not a valid reason to delete an article. I cannot see how these arguments can be made in good faith. Wikipedia:Gaming the system makes a strong showing here. Good luck, logic. JohnnyMrNinja 07:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I really wish you would argue constructively in this discussion and not badger people who disagree or refer misleading to invalid arguments; I would like to assume good faith and hope that you are not gaming the system by focusing on editors rather than the content under disucssion. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 11:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - User:Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles, your conduct here, and in other AfDs, is disruptive. You are, whether intentionally or not, being misleading, badgering editors, referencing WP pages that have no relevance, and at times being completely nonsensical. Your comments are not conducive to a consensus, but rather so confusing as to distract from the conversation, or possibly derail it completely. It may be completely unintentional, but your conduct seems aimed at not allowing a consensus to form. Whether this is intentional or not, it is not appropriate behavior and I ask you to please stop. JohnnyMrNinja 05:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Your conduct in this discussion is actually turning quite disruptive and misleading, because we are supposed to be discussing the content in question and not other editors.

        The topic can be verified (the characters in Sonic the Hedghog appear in numerous sources), a coherent portal/list to other articles is akin to a table of contents and is therefore a helpful element of a specialized encyclopedia of notable fictional topics, and the article is presented in a neutral or straightforward point of view by simply presenting information about notable characters and providing internal links to their articles. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        You say it's notable, without explaining why, after you linked WP:JNN in your previous comment. Don't say "The need for notability is severely disputed!" in one breath, and "This is notable!" in the next.
        I'm beginning to understand these accusations of disruptive gamesmanship levelled at you. Can you offer any reliable third-party references to write this article, or are you going to continue linking essays, making irrelevant links to Google searches and hit counts, and just generally gumming up the works uselessly? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        It is notable in that it concerns aspects of a fictional universe that is recognizable to millions of gamers, comic book readers, and cartoon watchers worldwide, although I of course concede that our standards of notability in general are currently disputed. The article provides an immensely useful purpose for our project as a navigational page and thus in that sense the sources for the members linked to on this article are located in their own articles as well. --Happy editing!

        You are of course welcome to help in that effort instead of just generally gumming up the works uselessly by telling others to do so.

        Comicvine is an anonymously-edited wiki, which is not a reliable source (plus most of those articles are completely empty).

        The value I see in the page is primarily as a role similar to a disambiguation page or portal, i.e. as an outstanding means by which to navigate other articles and as such, just as a disambiguation page or portal is not itself overwhelmed with links and footnotes, lists to other internal links really do not need to be overly weighted down in such a fashion when they do link to other articles that are referenced. --Happy editing!

        What have your own searches turned up? --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 04:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Absolutely nothing of value. It's such a ridiculously narrow subject that nobody has seen fit to comment; it's difficult to find sources covering the licensed works at all, other than in passing (e.g. "Including television shows and comic books" with no further mention). Hence me arguing to delete and all. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        I do agree that it is difficult to navigate through the Google searches, because of the overabundance of fan sites; however, I wonder if there are published comic and cartoon related magazines that do not have online archives that need to be considered as well for the appearances of the characters collectively seem significant enough (it is a notable franchise after all) that I think it's not unreasonable that such sources exist, but again, I still see other navigational and organizational value in the article as serving a beneficial purpose to our project anyway. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 04:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        The comic- and cartoon-related magazines tend to cover material aimed at older audiences, or are childrens' magazines of very little value for sourcing. (Disney Adventures and the like.) If it's so reasonable that sources exist, why can't you find a single one? Without one single source (I suggest a library trip), your "This is notable!" argument is baseless fluff. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Were I to make a library trip, what publications would you recommend looking at? And yes I agree that saying WP:JNN is not really a compelling argument either way. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 04:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't know. No publications that I know of regularly offer useful commentary on bit characters in licensed-property childrens' comics. You have magazines like Disney Adventures, which are aimed at children and offer exceedingly little in the way of useful commentary on anything, and magazines like Wizard, which are aimed at an older audience inclined to be scornful of childrens' and licensed-property comics. You were the one who was arguing this was notable; I assumed you had read WP:N and had some sort of sources in mind.
        Or were you arguing that this was notable without actually knowing of any sources, any sorts of sources, or without even a basic knowledge of the subject matter? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, the multiple appearances of the characters on the list in recognizable and popular primary sources suggested a kind of notability (I don't know what to make of the guideline, i.e. Wikipedic "definition" itself given the varied proposals and what seems to be upcoming request for comment; plus, I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that the guidelines themselves are edited by anyone like articles, but there have been times that I look at that page and it's changed from the last time I looked at; obviously, I'm not going to and wouldn't expect anyone else to re-read the same page every day) and the liklihood (or Wikipedia:Potential, not just current state) of published sources. As I said above, I see navigational value to the project with regards to this particular article that really makes me feel inclined to an Wikipedia:Ignore all rules regarding additional sources although I am of course willing to keep an eye or even look at any likely publications should time permit. We obviously disagree and I'm not confident that we'll likely persaude each other on this one, but one thing I will say is that I thought for better or worse AfDs were supposed to go for 5 days. Now, I know it's a holiday weekend and all, but shouldn't it have been closed by now? It's not as if in this case only two or three people commented. --Happy editing!

Richard Posner's "Enlightened Despot"[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Articles for deletion/Richard Posner's "Enlightened Despot"

OK, question here is, is a book review notable? The book, its author and the author of the review are, without a doubt, but I don't think that confers notability to the review itself. The claim that it's "much cited" appears in reality to be that it was reprinted. I find no evidence the review has been discussed and is anything more than a book review. I doubt the title is a valid search term so I don't see the need for a re-direct elsewhere. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 21:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I would have advocated merging into the article of A Judge in a Democracy as a criticism section, but as the book itself doesn't actually have an article, that's impossible. I have heard of the article and it's received a decent bit of attention, but I don't think it's to the point where I think it should get a wikipedia article about it. Vickser (talk) 22:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to expand I'm not saying that a book review can't be notable. Thomas Huntington's Clash of Civilizations was a book review after all, and it caused such a stir that it would've been notable before he published a book on it. Posner's Enlightened Despot article, while sort of a big deal, is nowhere near Clash level. Vickser (talk) 22:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete IN truly exceptional cases a book review can be notable--the destructive review of Keats' poetry in The Quarterly Review is notorious in English literature--there's a less than adequate discussion of it in [Endymion (poem] but it would be a very unusual book review indeed. This is nowhere near it. If the book were important enough for an article the review could be mentioned there. Alternatively, it should be worth a mention in the article on Barak.

Players do not sufficiently satisfy WP:ATHLETE in that they have not played for a fully professional league, noting that soccer is a professional sport. In addition, players do not sufficiently satisfy the notability criteria as outlined by WP:FOOTY in that they do not play for a professional team, have played in a competitive fixture, or have senior international caps/Olympics caps. GauchoDude (talk) 21:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the reasons provided above:

This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football related deletions. GauchoDude (talk) 21:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all as they all fail WP:ATHLETE because the USL Premier Development League or the MLS Reserve League are not fully professional leagues. To pre-empt claims that it counts as "playing at the highest level in amateur sports", it doesn't because football is not an amateur sport. Also, consensus is that youth caps or reserve appearances do not confer notability. пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 21:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Close AFD and relist - One of these previously survived an AFD. Another has been named as a substitute in first team matches as recently as Tuesday. This AFD doesn't meet the guidlines for bundling in WP:AFD ("If any of the articles you are considering for bundling could stand on its own merits, then it should be nominated separately."). Nfitz (talk) 05:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can any of them stand on their own merits? They all fail WP:ATHLETE and consensus is that youth caps are do not confer notability (the one AfD you refer to was before the youth caps issue was resolved). пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 07:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Relist - actually, four of the six of them have been in previous AFDs (one, even started by the nominator of these articles): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin Hughes (soccer) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roger Espinoza are the previous discussion. As for the youth caps issue, where has it been decided that national youth teams are not notable? Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Notability#Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability has some discussion, but, it is seems evenly split to me, and that discussion is definitely not strong enough to build an AFD case on for the players above which have played internationally for their country. While WP:ATHLETE is often cited as an exclusive reason for deletion, reading the section heading at Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria is instructional. quote Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included. Waving around WP:ATHLETE criteria as if notability established in normal ways (non-trivial coverage in multiple reputable sources) can be ignored is simply bad for the project.

  - It goes to their notability. It also supports that they should be considered for deletion separately rather than bundled. Nfitz (talk) 16:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Close and relist separately, or procedural keep all. Bundling these might make sense normally, but given that several have already survived AfD's, it is far better to discuss each article on individual merits. Reso lute 15:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I was all over the Delete vote for this one, but I don't think I can. New York Magazine's feature profile of them is substantial, and they were profiled not just once, but twice, in the New York Times. [14] [15] So, that's WP:Music#1. And then this article from a Maryland newspaper (albeit one I've never heard of) mentions that they've had several songs in rotation on Radio Disney, which would qualify them for WP:Music#11. As much as I'm tempted to fudge it, meeting two parts of WP:Music means a keep from me. Vickser (talk) 02:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If you want to keep it, improve it. By the fact that it already went through an AfD and still lacks any reason for it to be an article. And to people calling him a separate character, how separate it is really? He's an "evil twin" type character who is always copying Eggman or allying with him. Basically, since everything he does is directly related to Eggman, so all events related to Eggman Nega would likely be mentioned in Dr. Eggman's article anyway. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Previous AFD insisted it was notable on subjective feeling, and no sources have been found to show that this is actually true. The article has had time to improve, but the lack of references indicates that this article cannot be improved. Requires significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Google reveals self-published unreliable sources, or first party / non-independent sources.

Echidnas (Sonic the Hedgehog)[edit]

This article has no chance of asserting notability. It is filled with NOTHING but in-universe information. It is just a parade of cruft that needs to be tossed out the window. Anyone else agree? ZeroGiga (talk) 21:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I certainly don't agree. If the work is notable (which is apparently the case, though I am not one to judge) then the major characters are individually appropriate for articles, and the less important ones for inclusion in a combination article or a list--just like here. such combination articles and lists should be the default way of handling these situations. Calling something cruft in this sort of way is exactly equivalent to IDONTLIKEIT. V is met, for sourcing can be derived from the work itself--it should be explicitly done, of course. In-universe information about a work of fiction can be relevant content though, as policy says, it shouldn't be our entire coverage of Sonic the Hedgehog. I dont think it is--this is just one aspect. DGG (talk) 21:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of those sources say anything about the subject of this article, but rather speak broadly about the series they belong to. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Lack of articles establishing out-of-universe notability. It is also too much information that a "Sonic layperson" may want to know. MuZemike (talk) 23:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article is a poorly sourced dumping ground for anything related (or somewhat related to the subject). Wikipedia isn't a guide to trivia, and certainly isn't the guide to every aspect of popular video games. RobJ1981 (talk) 00:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Indiscriminate list of very minor characters sorted in an in-universe way.
Uhhh...delete Sonic is totally notable. The host of echidnas in the games are not. If this article had ONE reliable, independent secondary source suggesting that echidnas in sonic the hedgehog were notable, I would change my mind. As it stands I see lots of video game and video game manual citations. Protonk (talk) 16:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chao (Sonic the Hedgehog)[edit]

Look, I know the chao are adorable creatures and one of the current staples of the Sonic series, Cream has a chao (Cheese), even Chaos is a mutated Chao, but let's face it, this article is filled with almost nothing but in-universe information and has no chance to assert notability.

Keep,but clean up. Take away the life cycle section and Chao races section. Unknown the Hedgehog 02:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 477 news sources [17], nearly 300,000 web links, [18], and about 15 relevant books come up when searching for 'sonic chao'. While none of those numbers proves notability in the WP sense, they do in the "common sense". At a random guess, somewhere out there is a paper book called "history of Sonic the Hedgehog" or some such that would cover all this material.
Keep and maybe merge after cleaning up with a chainsaw. Awful article. Decently major part of the series. Not sure how much we can say in the way of referenced claims, but this will belong to same game or series merge in the worst case. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"(I) might be the victim." Is that a threat? If it is, then you better prepare yourself. I already told a mod about it (and I do take uncivilty SERIOUSLY). And another thing, it doesn't need its own article at this rate. I could easily fit just fine when it's merged, per TTN. I actually forgot to mention that. ZeroGiga (talk) 18:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article certainly needs some serious consolidation, but I look at it this way: they're a long-standing peripheral element of Sonic games which have apparently been included in the new Bioware RPG. I popped over to the Escapist and searched Chao, it spat out this. That's not even about one of the Sonic games, but the writer felt compelled to have a two-paragraph ramble about Chao before reviewing Viva Pinata. This Sonic Adventure 2 interview contains some interesting nuggets about the artificial life software. There's probably more, but I'm not spending the next hour yucking snatches of quotable text out of google. They've been spread over numerous games (not just the Sonic Adventures), there'll doubtless be snippets of reception from each game they're in, it'll do fine as a tight standalone article. Someone another 17:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, here's a Eurogamer Sonic Advance preview. We've got the character themselves, their functions, connectivity with the Dreamcast VMU and between gameboys etc. etc. It can be more than an in-universe gameguide. Someone another 17:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This can easily be cut down and inserted into the series article. It has no reason to function as its own topic. TTN (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or we could merge it with the main series article like we did with the Chaos Emeralds and rings. Ever think of that? ZeroGiga (talk) 19:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep As per someone another. There's some decent sourcing for this character, which is the exception rather than the rule. Meets the WP:GNG. Although it's unclear if there's enough coverage out there to make for a complete, not in-universe article. Might advocate for a merge somewhere down the line. But evidence suggests this article should not be deleted. Randomran (talk) 15:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... and clean-up with a chainsaw - Just taking another look at this article, and it's in bad shape. The topic itself is barely notable, but a lot of the information in here violates WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:V's preference towards secondary sources. After cleaning it up, it might be a candidate for a merge... Randomran (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would do the edit myself only I would prefer to have permission. I have researched this stuff and had many experiences with it. Most of my knowledge, however, does not come from resources, it comes from my own experiences with the game and Chao. WooWooTrain (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now – Unlike, Echidnas this actually has a chance. If there are editors willing fix this mess, the amount information outside of the game itself may suffice in Chao being a decent article. If not then merge into respective articles. « ₣M₣ » 15:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment Being the author of this article, I wish to say that I wanted to contribute to Wikipedia in a topic I know very well, which is Lebanon and skiing in Lebanon. The reason why this article was tagged by Damiens is because it was linked to an article about skiing in Lebanon on which there was an editing conflict. After having successfully deleted it, he is tagging related articles and vandalizing others. I wish Wikipedia will be able one day to identify undercovered vandalism but tracking his activity in july 1 and 2 should help understand what i am talking about. I wish this article is deleted as soon as possible and I suggest you do not accept topics and bios from countries outside U.S. or Europe because obviously there is an issue about young computer freaks assessing notability of foreign people. By the way, yes I tried to blank the page as I thought this would lead to accelerate its deletion. I do not want honorable peoples names being associated with a discussion they dont even know about and their notability questioned by people who dont have enough background and culture to assess it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lebprofiler (talk • contribs) 07:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He wants a source for the height of a peak !(what is funny is that it is mentionned in several of the websites cited). Lebprofiler is wrong. This is not an issue of condescendant racism.It is a vengeance from Damiens.fr. Maybe being a Wikipedia editor make him feel he is God. My suggestion is that he takes some holidays. Now, I suggest that this article is deleted quickly because really this discussion is of no interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabuchodonozor (talk • contribs) 19:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:Damiens.rf started an AfD on Skiing in Lebanon by claiming it was blantant copyright which is not very true because the info in the site http://www.skimzaar.com/faraya-mzaar/ski-resort/history-skiing.asp is of public knowledge. This webpage is all about history. Then he commented that there was a lack of notability, when editors protested the AfD for Copyright issues. Then there was comments that skiing in Lebanon was an notable topic so Damiens.rf claimed that he has issues with reliability of the history part. Check the site and some others by Googling : Ski lebanon History, you will see that all info posted exist in the internet. Mr Damiens.rf you have vandalized articles related to the topic of Skiing in Lebanon and individuals associated with it. I dont know who you are, but I think you are the problem.

Design Miami[edit]

Although the sources indicate the subject's notabilty, it still doesn't seem notable enough to have its own entry. StaticGull Talk 19:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for meeting WP:CORP#1. In addition to the NYTimes article that's linked, another big NYTimes article back in 2006, [22], there's coverage by the NYTimes blog [23], a substantial article in the WSJ [24] (subscription req. I have one, it's over 700 words about the show), an article in Financial News[25] (which I don't have a sub for and actually can't see), and plenty more coverage. (2008 is a bit thrown off by the Brad Pitt visit, but there's still bunches in 2006 and 2007.) The page should probably be renamed to Design Miami/Basel, which is the name it's called more often. On the whole, very clear keep per WP:CORP. Vickser (talk) 03:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 01:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm actually not too involved in WP:Music, so if it's been established that songs billed as "featuring whoever" don't count for both their main person and whoever, then apologies and I'll bow to consensus. If not, it seems like Ashely Joi would pass WP:Music #2 for charting with Body (song) and pass WP:Music #11 for being in rotation on national radio stations for the same. Again, if there's precedent I'll bow down to that, but to me it would make sense that she's notable by radio stations around the country announcing "and that last track was Body by Ja Rule featuring Ashley Joi." Vickser (talk) 03:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being "featured" on two tracks on another artist's album is insufficient to meet WP:MUSIC. Should either track be released as a single and ~~it appears~~ becomes a hit on a national chart, it would then be enough to qualify. B.Wind (talk) 04:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, Body (song) on which she is featured was released as a single and did chart. [26]. Vickser (talk) 04:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A peak of #71 on the Hot 100 is not considered a "hit" by many, if not most sources; so I had to re-read WP:MUSIC#2: Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.. So now (after amending my comment above), the key question is whether merely making it onto the lower regions of the Hot 100 would qualify it as a "hit" in the "eyes" of Wikipedia, and this, unfortunately, is subject to interpretation by the various editors (as a person who was in "the biz" for about a dozen years quite a while back, I can tell you that most radio stations would simply pay attention only to the upper 40-50 positions of the chart covering the station's format, while the record companies would simply use whichever interpretation that was in their best interest). With that viewpoint, I must remain committed to the delete option, albeit much more weakly than before. Oh, if Vickser can name (and show) a national radio network (as stated in WP:MUSIC#11) that had the recording in rotation - and not just a few local radio stations working independently - he/she might just tip the seesaw over to "keep" for me. B.Wind (talk) 06:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very fair. As I said, I'm not too experienced in WP:Music and had no idea if charted songs would qualify a featured artist at all. I was just trying to be helpful by letting you know that it was indeed released as a single, since that was the issue at hand. Out of curiousity, do you by any chance know where you can find past records of radio play? The only place I've been able to get rotation is from the current playlists that radio stations have on their websites, but the ones I've seen don't have archives. I'd love to have a few more databases to sleath for future afds. Vickser (talk) 06:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion/John Toolen (2nd nomination)

Subject appears to be notable only for being shot; WP:BLP1E (although as he's dead, I'm not sure if BLP applies, even though he was alive at the moment he got shot). There's also WP:NOTMEMORIAL and it seems a bit propaganda-ish ("Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented") so WP:NOTADVERTISING, too. While it may be a tragedy, it's not notable enough for Wikipedia.

Merge and redirect to List of Los Angeles Police Department officers killed in the line of duty. Notable only for being shot; lack of substantial or continuing coverage. Although there was probably more coverage at the time, temporary notability is not sufficient, however a redirect would be useful.

delete His CV lists three publications, which look to be a department published techreport, a peer refereed article in a journal (Dhaka University Journal of Science), and a paper in a conference proceedings.

Merge and redirect first paragraph only to University of Auckland#Accommodation.

I was the original author of this page, and everytime I add a citation about Nathan Geist's military history, someone takes it off without explanation. I urge that this page is not deleted as it is extremely uncommon for any military personnel to have any ties with the film industry, let alone as an actor who gets credited roles in the small film market in Chicago. Less than 1% of ex-soldiers ever contribute to the film industry, and even less concurrently serve while maintaining status as a credited actor. I am not understanding how that is not notable.

Weapons and equipment of the Tau Empire (Warhammer 40,000)[edit]

This article does not cite any reliable sources which attest to the notability of the subject matter, a comprehensive list of every weapon and vehicle included in any of their numerous codexes and Games Workshop-sanctioned expansions is not notable. None of these items have any real world notability, either individually or as a collection, nor have any of my attempts to find sources to the contrary borne fruit. The notability of this topic cannot be verified by reliable sources, and should deleted as has been done in the past in this area and in areas such as video games.

Because they are created by the game maker. If we had some secondary source talking about how notable and awesome the Weapons and Equipment of the Tau Empire are, we could use the GW sources to flesh out the details (see WP:SPS, and WP:RS). As it stands, all we have to assert notablity (not that they do) are the works of the article subject. How, if we use the GW sources, do we draw a line forbidding other promotional entries into the encyclopedia? As it stands, the notability and sourcing guidelines provide that rather neatly.

Edit and Merge This could be combined into the article "Vehicles of the Tau Empire", which could also be edited and both pages merged into the article "Tau Empire (Warhammer 40,000)" or be turned into a subpage thereof. While I agree that the article is in serious need of editing, total deletion is not the answer here, as it makes ALL of the information unavailable, not just the irrelevant or inconsequential parts. Also, carefully consider the motivation behind this article's nomination for deletion. Allemandtando made several Warhammer-related articles into unusable stubs, and when others reverted them back, he put the articles up for deletion. He seems to have some sort of grudge on fiction of any sort, going by what he has been deleting lately, and Warhammer is just one of his victims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.40.183.144 (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If a serious editor volunteers to transwiki to the WH40K wikia, I would change my vote to transwiki and delete. But given the caliber of the people volunteering to transwiki, I do not believe it to be anything but a stalling tactic.

Edit and Merge I think the notability argument needs to be clarified a little here. The game itself passes the test easily. But information about the game that is referenced by publications outside of the creating body could be summed up in a single page or a handful of pages. It is not the sort of thing that generates a lot of outside publications because of how Games Workshop handles its own Intellectual Property. That is not a comment on its notability. This is does not effect 40k alone. Warmachine would be a single (short) entry if we applied the same policy there. So would the vast majority of fictional settings, regardless of their scope. Notability should not have the same definition when applied to fictional material as it does when applied to nonfictional material. The way outside sources address fictional ideas is very different. I think this section could probably be merged with a larger section on the Tau. That would be easier to defend, since it is easier to support the idea of notability for the Tau in general given Fire Warrior and other media that has expanded the background beyond the tabletop game.

Keep Unless we can get a verification for a Transwiki, the article should be kept as-is. The article is useful. I would say that the language could be edited a little to fit the wiki context better though.

The link is right there. Protonk (talk) 00:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that route is chosen, I think the information also needs to be transferred to the Lexicanum entry. I am not sure why the license is relevant to this question, and that was not explained above. This information is part of GW's IP. Using it to bolster the content of an openly ad-supported page might not fly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.97.110.123 (talk) 00:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If what? That isn't our problem. The content is moved to a wiki whose license is compatible. And I certainly hope none of GW's IP is here. That would mean that content on this page violates copyright. the content on this page is SUPPOSED to be property of the contributors and licensed under the GFDL. That license forbids copying the material to certain other projects. I'm not a lawyer, but I assure you it isn't trivial. And frankly it isn't up to you to decide whether or not to delete this article. We are not required to transwiki anything prior to deletion (and an admin would probably userify this article for transwiki after, anyway). If the page violates policy, it will be deleted at the end of the AfD, regardless of whether or not it has been transcribed to your satisfaction. Protonk (talk) 03:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Requirement" has nothing to do with it, nor does the "satisfaction" of any one user. It is not up to individual users whether or not to delete or to transwiki. Wikipedia is supposed to be about information. It works best when users keep that in mind rather than indulging their egos about what should or should not be included. The way the IP is used on wikipedia falls within the bounds of fair use under GW's own IP guidelines. That may not be true for wikia or other ad-supported sites. So it is a little irresponsible to be suggesting that as an alternative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.206.92 (talk) 22:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hammerwiki shares the same license as wikipedia. Furthermore, if the intellectual property of Games Workshop exists on this or any 40K page in any form, it needs to be removed (with the exception of images and quotes covered by fair use). The content of this article should be property of the user creating it and licensed freely through the GFDL. As such, as long as what is on this page is proper, it is proper to be on hammerwiki. And this AfD is not an indulgence of anyone's ego. You may feel that wikipedia is all about collecting information without limit. If you feel strongly, please discuss it in WT:N. Our guidelines can be change and will change with community consensus. That being said, the current set of guidelines dictate that articles which are unable to establish notability from reliable, independent sources should be deleted. Protonk (talk) 02:05, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete - no reliabe sources to establish encyclopedic notability. Which is to bad, cause it seems pretty cool article, otherwise. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 17:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In terms of independent sources, a lot of this content has been presented in more than one format. It exists within the tabletop game and background of Warhammer, but also within the content and background of Fire Warrior published by THQ. It is more difficult to assess how independent that is because the fictional setting is the IP of Games Workshop, but it is possible for users to become aware of it through many different paths. It is certainly fictional, but it is a fictional setting that has had exposure outside of its original context. If you search wikipedia for entries about Lord of the Rings, you will find dozens of pages about fictional concepts within that setting. What we have here is essentially the same thing, so I do not believe it is consistent with existing policy to remove it outright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.206.92 (talk) 22:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

but you understand that (using your example) lords of the rings has been critiqued and reviewed by a multitude of reliable sources independent of the text - from books on literature to film studies books to magazine articles to magazines that explore literature. we must be talking thousands of sources that are not connected to the source or the publisher. we could literally put thousands of 3rd party sources to each and every lord of the rings articles? Would you agree (and this is a straight forward question) that there is difference between the level of coverage between the two? The other thing is (and again it's a straight question) - if you know of any notable 3rd party coverage of this subject - could you tell us? because if it exists, then I'll pull my nomination - no questions asked (two sources would be better... and it still needs clean-up :-) ) --Allemandtando (talk) 23:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Lord of the Rings is notable. "Rhûn", however, is not. "Gothmog" is not. Not under the strict definition being applied here. They are minor fictional entities within a fictional setting. Wikipedia retains independent pages for them because wikipedia is dedicated to providing well-organized background information about a larger entity that "is" notable. You can not put independent sources for each and every one of them, because many have only ever been analyzed as part of something else. They have no notability except as part of something else. That is also the case here. On the other hand, I can with enough searching find a review or an article about the game "Fire Warrior" or "Dawn of War" that will contain a passing analysis of the weapons used by the Tau described here, since they are the weapons found in the game. It won't be particularly useful to the article itself, but it would be a 3rd-party source. I think we should be honest here. The only reason this is seperate from the main Tau:Empire page is that it was easier for someone to organize by shifting it. And the only reason the Tau:Empire page is seperate from the 40k page is that the main page had grown too large. At some point we are not discussing a question of notability, but of how much information is appropriate to include. And if we include it, how should it be displayed? This is not a question of fame. If it were, wikipedia would not be populated by thousands of pages relating to real but largely irrelevant things. Notability is not just a measure of fame, but of how an idea may be approached. If you can come upon the same fictional idea from many different directions, you will seek information from those other contexts, and the idea is thus notable, as with Lord of the Rings. And in the case of this Warhammer 40k stuff, you have the background from the tabletop game coexisting with the spin-offs into computer gaming and literature. The only hitch is that they aren't exactly third-party given how GW maintains its license. But if that is far enough remove, all we need do is reference the games Fire Warrior and Dawn of War, and the books Fire Warrior, For the Emperor, and Kill Team, or any independent review of such. As I said earlier, I don't think this page should be seperate. But I do think it should be merged into a new heading under the main Tau page. Since Warhammer 40k is about war, the information about weapons is really the most notable aspect we can include. If someone plays Tau in Dawn of War, they may be curious about how those weapons are supposed to work. If Dawn of War was the only place those weapons were found, the idea would not be notable. But since they came from a larger and older setting, we have a sort of notability simply due to scope.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.97.110.123 (talk) 05:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there are no independant sources anywhere. Where is a single secondary source writing about this topic ? See the bit under original reasearch where it is rightly said "Wikipedia articles should rely on reliable, published secondary sources.". If there are no secondary sources then the subject should not be written about here - Peripitus (Talk) 22:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. The keeps predominantly stem from opinions that do not appear to be supported by policy, guideline or any established precedent/ consensus. There is also clearly some confusion over the applicability of primary sources. PS can not be used to establish N but can be used to V non-controversial information in an article on an otherwise notable subject. In the final analysis, I determined that the nom/deletes presented sound arguments that were well-supported by policy/guidelines. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 22:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weapons of the Imperium (Warhammer 40,000)[edit]

This article does not cite any reliable sources which attest to the notability of the subject matter. Yes, the Imperium is probably notable; however, a comprehensive list of every weapon and vehicle included in any of their numerous codexes and Games Workshop-sanctioned expansions is not. None of these items have any real world notability, either individually or as a collection, nor have any of my attempts to find sources to the contrary borne fruit. The notability of this topic cannot be verified by reliable sources, and should deleted. Allemandtando (talk) 16:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are is a long list of sources and references, how is it that you can simply shrug every single one of them as non-reliable/notable? There is a discussion going on the page; the article requires rewriting and not deletion. Additionally, I am aware that you know full well that a few editors have been forced by your hand transwikify all wh40k articles this weekend.

Delete As a note (in case people haven't seen the other 40K nom's), White Dwarf (magazine) is not independent from Games workshop (this is clear from the references), neither are the manuals for play. Apart from those two sources, I can't find independent claims of notability of the subject of this particular article. It doesn't matter if there are a hundred sources in this article, if they are all from the game manufacturer, it isn't enough. Honestly one independent, reliable source discussion the weapons of the imperium would be enough for me to reverse my stance on this. Protonk (talk) 02:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no notability asserted through coverage by independent sources. As it stands, the article is a textbook failure of WP:WAF, and the whole article is excessive weight on the topic. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Once in awhile it makes sense to make an exception for a borderline notability issue (WP:N is a guideline, repeat after me).

how is "some degree of notability" confirmed when the article doesn't have a single 3rd party source and none seem to exist? --Allemandtando (talk) 19:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On closer examination, I see you are correct, they don't appear to be third-party sources. However, Wikipedia aims for comprehensive coverage of notable subjects and this article is necessary for broader comprehensive coverage of Warhammer. Independent notability of the weapons would make the case stronger, but I don't consider it necessary to justify the content. Everyking (talk) 19:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what is notable about those weapons in the game and why explanations of how to construct fictional bullets is needed for comprehensive coverage? In all fictional areas such as video games - such lists have been removed? why do you think this is important to this "broad coverage"? --Allemandtando (talk) 19:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis[edit]

This article must violate about half a dozen guidelines (NPOV, OR: being the main 'violations') some examples are, respectively, "Both Manchester and Liverpool have a 'china town', however Liverpool's is Europe's oldest", "Places of natural beauty, but also homes of the rich and famous". etc. The only references supplied are those to one other page that is a Wikipedia article. Overall the article seems somewhat like someone's interpretation of several articles on-wiki, written into one large piece that makes no sense and is in no shape to be referenced or accurately sourced since the "megalopolis" (which is the whole point of this page) doesn't actually exist. Rudget (logs) 16:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sources please? I've lived in the area all my life and have never before heard of the "Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis", and a google search for that term yields only one hit, suggesting that this is indeed an invented idea. Also, where is the evidence to support the notion that people referring to the "North West" mean only the urban areas of Liverpool and Manchester? PC78 (talk) 17:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As User:PC78, I have never heard of the area being reffered to as a megalopolis, nor for that matter Manchester and Liverpool being reffered to as the whole of the NW. I think it might also be disputable that Manchester and Liverpool are growing, the evidence with regards to population would suggest the reverse. Most material of that doesnt break numerous guidelines such as original research etc appears to be little more than duplication of various other articles relating to the area. Pit-yacker (talk) 18:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I suppose that half-a-dozen may have been a little too much, but the point stands: I initially thought that the article was infact little-by-little copies of some existing material, however, I was unable to find this anywhere in the relevant articles (example, text on Manchester in the Manchester article) leading me to believe that this is leaning more towards a personal interpretation and thus original research, since the new material is different to the older version, its probably unreferencable. Proven in the case in point. Rudget (logs) 18:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. - unsourced, OR, SYNTH. I also have lived in the area and never heard the term, or even the idea discussed. JohnCD (talk) 19:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A megalopolis is similar to a conurbation, except that it involves the meeting of two or more metropolitan areas. It isn't necessarily related to issues of population size, a very large city is often referred to by the term megacity.

The urban part of the North West is a megalopolis according to both definition and the reality of the area; the article is a work in progress intended to help understanding of the metropolitan nature of the region, versus self-contained city regions such as the West Midlands, Glasgow, etc, which currently operate in metropolitan isolation. "Megapolitan" is rarely an official title in the same way as "metropolitan", but is instead a physical event with associated socio-economic outcomes (ie. increased labour pool, larger market, increased cross-region mobility, etc).

The Liverpool Manchester megalopolis has been referred to by others previously; other terms that have been used are North-West city region, North-West megalopolis, North-West conurbation. Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis is the most appropriate for this article, as it accurately describes the phenomena in an understandable format. It has been difficult to choose a title for this article, but the phenomena is worthy of note.

Incidentally, I was also considering authoring articles on other such urban areas, such as the West Midlands, which also has a unique and interesting background and history.

Regarding points of view, there are none in the article - again, it is a work in progress and references will be added as time goes by (I don't work on Wikipedia full time). Liverpool does have Europe's oldest Chinatown; little known fact perhaps, but there you have it - part of Liverpool's history (which has its own entry on Wikipedia). Alderley Edge etc, is a nationally known beauty spot very popular with hill walkers and the like, it is also home to the rich and famous and is one of the UK's most expensive places to live (so you'd have to be rich, at least).

I have been in discussion also with people at Wikipedia_talk:GM who raised points regarding verifiability but are actually interested in seeing the article complete in order to add a reference to Wikipedia for something that is consequential.

I would like to say that the article is not meant to be offensive in any way or do anything other than document an event and consequence of urban growth.--Genolian3 (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It's just an original research based article that advances the creating editors view that the north-west urban-sprawl area is a megalopolis. The subject of the article (i.e. Liverpool-Manchester megaloposis) is not a notable entity as it is not verified by second or third party reliable sources. It's an interesting idea but it is not suitable for inclusion in a encyclopedia. If references are supplied (I can't find any and I live in said megalopolis) then I may change to keep.

Delete - I've not yet googled, so to speak, the school but it already fails notability standards.

How can you add what doesn't exist? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Your comment on my talk page came across as a bit rude to me. As to the actual quesiton, User:Friejose below points out that indeed some online sources do exist... not many, but some. Therefore, sources can be added because they do indeed exist.

Are they reliable and/or credible sources? Maybe, maybe not--why not discuss it? Are there offline sources available? Possibly. Would they be considered reliable? Maybe. Anyway, I say we keep the article and give the editors time to rustle up these sources and then if they are not found after a period of time, we would then delete the article. As to its notability, it's common practice to keep pages on high schools: see WP:WPSCHOOLS and for more detail go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines#Guidelines. You'll find that the consensus is that high schools get an article, and no real reason has been given for this to be different except that it's small. Before making that argument, please read WP:NOTBIGENOUGH, where it states that notability is not determined by the quantity of numbers.

Keep. Lack of references does not necessarily equate to non-notability. The IMDb link alone indicates that this is an award winning film by a notable director.

It would be silly to delete all of these (in particular: the company page, FEFLOW, MIKE SHE and MIKE 11. I can't comment on the others, since I don't know much about them. I imagine a few can be merged). However, I did express my comments on the article name for the company here, and the articles probably need a bit of copy editing. +mt 18:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Darwinbots[edit]

Only independent source is an interview with Biota; I'd prefer to see multiple coverage as suggested by WP:Notability guidelines.

Strong keep: First, I'm the article author, so I'm biased :) Second, the correct home page is Darwinbots.com. Third, notability is established with the interview on Biota.org (notability doesn't need multiple sources, though they are preferred). Last, if I'm outvoted, I would recommend merging the article as it stands in to a broader article on artificial life simulators per: Wiki policy instead of outright deletion. --Numsgil (talk) 18:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Other Side (2008 film)[edit]

The notability guidelines for future films stipulates that a stand-alone article should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. This project is no different - preproduction is still ongoing and anything could happen before the proposed filming date. The article can be recreated when principal photography begins.

2012 (film)[edit]

This is an article about a planned film by Roland Emmerich. While there has been casting and other preparations, it has not yet begun production. Per the notability guidelines for future films, a stand-alone article is not yet warranted. There can be delays to production, and a noted potential delay is the actors' strike, as noted here. Films like Shantaram (film) (merged) were affected by the writers' strike, so the possible actors' strike adds more uncertainty to the production of this film.

Merge and Redirect The BBC returns 99 results for bed blocking [42] including many article titles while the Times reports over 200 [43].The term 'bed blocking' is certainly very well understood in the UK and as a deriative of this 'bed blocker' would be as well understood as well so I think it's a likely search term (although possibly stil a neologism). That said it's not worthy of it's own article and a redirect to a small section in another article (e.g. NHS) about the problems it causes seems more appropiate. I'd also suggest creating a 'bed blocking' redirect as well. Dpmuk (talk) 15:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to a general page on Hospital discharge or Discharge planning or some such article, which will cover this specific issue as well as others. It's a big topic, and I'm a little surprised that I can't find a Wikipedia article on the topic. "Bed blocking" may be a UK term, but the problem is not at all a UK-specific problem. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into a more general article on bed management. Not a neoligism as reliable secondary sources. Aside from those who might refuse to be transfered elsewhere (but unsuitable for discharge home and UK NHS has moral duty not to discharge onto the street - i.e. evict) also huge issue as to separation in welfare state of medical care from social care (hence if no provision made for social care in a nursing home for patient who nolonger needs medical care, then patient languishes in hospital). Whilst very much notable, not that much to write in an encyclopedia without it being an essay (vs encyclopedic entry).
- Better therefore on merged into Hospital bed management (eg >100% bed occupancy in UK and how such turnaround increases rates of MRSA (this reported on just last week), also issues transfering patients between hospitals when facilities full, especially an issue with Special Care Baby Units) - all these have issues of bed management & planning and interection between hospital/other services/community.
- Whereas Hospital discharge seems more the processes that should routinely occur vs the underlying organisation/service-planning issues. Hence Hospital discharge would be about arranging discharge medcation drugs in good time, arranging outpatient (US=Office) followup arrangements, someone writing a meaningful discharge letter for community General Practitioners & District Nurses to allow them to understand what has occured and provide seemless transition of care etc. David Ruben ^Talk 20:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about an announced project by Judd Apatow.

Delete. The notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. This project is a prime example of this; Apatow is attached to about 600 projects. The article can be recreated when principal photography is confirmed to have begun.

List of The Steve Wilkos Show episodes[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Article was previously nominated in February but was kept in a no consensus decision. Since then the article has remained stagnant and there have been few, if any updates to the list, which hasn't been updated in nine months (note that the first season of this show ended in May). Also a list which is basically a rotating list of talk show topics which have nothing beyond the title of each program to differentiate them from each other, and are not unique in the subject matter dealt with.

Question, strictly for purposes of educating me. How is this list different from the hundreds of other lists of television episodes here? I'm not invoking WP:OTHERCRAP, I'm just curious because WP:EPISODE recommends making this type of page, and I'd like to know why this one isn't encyclopedic. Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That guideline really applies much more to episodic television in my eyes, where only one or two episodes air per week and the list can stay in relative control (see my other arguments in the first nom as to why I feel this overwhelms that guideline). This list wants to catalog every episode of a five day-a-week talk show, where as many as 200 episodes may be produced in a year. Usually with a talk show, you get a sense of the basic issues dealt with and listed in the parent article and there is no need to list every topic for every day because they usually rotate around and never get out of their targeted topic range; here for instance you're not going to see Steve Wilkos talk about makeovers, crash diets, or economic policy anytime soon, he pretty much sticks to domestic strife and crime issues. Thus my reasoning as to why a talk show like this does not need an episode list. Nate • (chatter) 01:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - So if I could summarize (to make sure I understand correctly), it's the large volume of entries with little potentially useful information per entry? That does make some sense -- the only sticky issue I see is where to draw the line (as is true with so many things in life *grin*). Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:35, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - As I say in my userpage, I can get very verbose (blushes). This is exactly what I'm trying to state. I'm glad I could help you out with this. Nate • (chatter) 06:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I don't feel that this standard can ever be met. Usually the only publicity for a talk show outside of the show's PR department comes when either the show premieres, there's some controversial event to occur on the show (Tyra's "Kiss My Fat Ass" speech for instance), or it's on the heels of perhaps topping Oprah in the ratings.

Delete. (Oops! Appleyard beat me to the AFD discussion!) These are attempts to recreate the JDC Phosphate spam article. Patents are not inherently notable; being named on a patent is not inherently notable. The terms "Improved Hard Process" and "Kiln Phosphoric Acid" are WP:Neologisms with no use outside of this company. No proof this this process is implemented outside of lab experiments — indeed, the tone of the articles strongly implies that this industry process hasn't existed long enough to even be implemented in real industry. Only reference appears to be Fertilizer International, an trade magazine whose editorial guidelines are not clear and so is not known to be a WP:reliable source for notability. These pages are all back-door attempts to gain "Wikipedia legitimacy" for a company named JDC Phosphate, which is a company apparently formed by this Joseph Megy guy, who is trying to gain traction for this chemical trick he just got a patent on this year. JDC Phosphate has been speedy deleted twice, despite the author's repeated attempts to delete the speedy tags in violation of Wikipedia policy. Same author has recreated the same basic information under multiple titles. Since the user has also cleared his user talk page and the diffs on the other articles are reset, you'll probably want to check Geoseh User Talk as of 222422115 for the warnings. Tired of playing Whack-a-Mole with this guy. --Closeapple (talk) 09:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have a PhD in Physics and have been aware of Dr. Megy's work for the last 25 years. There is no self-promotion here. The facts presented on Dr. Megy's bio are real and are in no way intended to be self-interest promotions on his part. He is not involved. I happen to be aware of him and looked him up and noticed this mean spirited discussion. One of the comments indicated that "patents aren't inherently notable." Since when? Dr. Megy has 17 patents and that is significant. It is a very thorough review process in Chemical Engineering. Furthermore, the current process was funded by an SBIR grant and reviewed at all levels for thoroughness. The KPA process has been in existence for over 25 years and was patented by Drs. Hard and Megy as noted in patent list. The reason for putting Dr. Megy's name in play is that he has been a contributor to the advancement of both the science of production of chemicals (mass production as measured in hundreds of thousands of tons per year) and the engineering detail required to make large processing plants work. Amen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drelbie (talk • contribs) — Drelbie (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
OK. Specifically addressing these claims by Drelbie:
1. "There is no self-promotion here" part 1: The author's creation of multiple articles saying practically the same thing, and always making Joseph Megy and/or JDC Phosphate's involvement the main thrust of the article, indicates that it is quite definitely (self-)promotion. The original draft of the JDC Phosphate article made it quite clear what was intended: indeed, the JDC Phosphate article got speedy-deleted as WP:CSD#G12 Blatant advertising — the fastest level of removal on Wikipedia, reserved for only the most obvious cases — then speedied again (as WP:CSD#A7) 3 hours later when it was recreated by the same author.
2. "There is no self-promotion here" part 2: If this isn't for self-interest promotion, why have you (Drelbie) cut-and-pasted the clearly copyright-labeled corporate promotional bio from JDC Phosphates as his biography? (This is a violation of Wikipedia:Copyvio.)
3. "There is no self-promotion here" part 3: I noticed that the copyright violation from the promotional bio says "Dr. Megy was SBA 'Small Businessman of the Year'". (This was the only statement in the whole article that even caught my attention as maybe defending notability, so I went looking for it.) Just out of curiosity, I searched for "Small Businessman of the Year" and Megy on Google and it doesn't come up. Granted, the US Small Business Administration website doesn't seem to find that title at all. It may exist somewhere, but apparently the SBA doesn't talk about it much. So apparently it's not important enough that the SBA issues news releases about it. So much for that avenue.
4. "Patents aren't inherently notable." Since when?: According to USPTO publication EIP-3131P-OL: "Patent Counts By Class By Year - Independent Inventors Patents Granted: 1977 - 2006", there have been 597,842 patents by individual or unnamed (not corporate) owners between 1977 and 2006. According to EIP-3130P-OL: "Independent Inventors By State By Year", 2,880 patents were issued to individuals just in California (Megy's home state) in just 2007 alone. Again, I stress that these numbers don't even include corporate patents: these numbers are just ones originally issued first to individuals. Having some (or "17", or "over 20") original ideas in ones life does not inherently make one notable. I highly doubt that having an SBIR grant is notable in itself either. It may lead to kudos for insiders in a specific industry or specific sector of the scientific community, but it's not especially notable in a general-interest encyclopedia.
These AfD topics can be re-added later when the IHP/KPA process meets its manifest destiny of worldwide fame without a boost from Wikipedia based on listing people who have patents: "Wikipedia is not a directory ... directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business." --Closeapple (talk) 10:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no reliable sources attest to the independent notability of this character. Fails WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:FICT and WP:N. A few random mentions in various pop culture items does not equal notability. Otto4711 (talk) 06:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Another lazy nomination which does not make the slightest effort to demonstrate that the article cannot be improved as our editing policy specifies. I made a quick search and soon found a reliable source which discusses the topic at length. I may now improve the article accordingly but the chilling effect of threatened deletion is a disruptive obstruction to this. The nominator failed to discuss the article's problems on its talk page and has made no attempt to improve the article himself. Such superficial drive-by deletion should be censured since it disrupts our essential process of article development by slow accretion. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A definitive character from a major award winning film. Plenty of reference work available on the net and in printed media. A worthy subject for expansion, not deletion. M♠ssing Ace 09:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep major characters in major works of fiction are notable.DGG (talk) 12:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While I would not say that being a character in a major film automatically confers notability (WP:FICT does have more specific requirements), in this case there are indeed plenty of secondary reliable sourses regarding this character and his influence outside of the film. Apart from the source cited by Colonel Warden, here are a few more random examples from a GoogleBooks search:[49][50][51][52][53][54][55], etc. While these are fairly short mentions, they do demostrate that the Mr Creosote has become something of an iconic cultural character, an archetypal glutton. Nsk92 (talk) 12:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An iconic and notable character, I look forward to the improvement of the article based on the above sources. The article as it stands has (currently unreferenced) significant real-world content and is not a plot rehashing and list of random pop culture references as implied by the nominator. This content is specific enough in its detail to make referencing of these not too difficult. --Canley (talk) 13:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak Delete and~~ Comment Look. We all liked this movie. The movie won awards. The creators of the movie are the gold standard for notability among comedy troupes. But the article contains one reference where the character is discussed my a principal creator of the film. Sources (as Col. Warden shows above) may exist which impute notability to the subject. that isn't really an excuse for haranguing the nominator over the substance of the nomination (or accusing him/her of being lazy). Also, some honesty needs to be exercised about the "chilling effect" of deletion nominations. While a giant template warning of impending deletion may dissuade the novice editor from making marginal changes to an article it cannot really be claimed that it dissuades a veteran editor who is familiar with the deletion process. Many articles which come to AfD unsourced but ARE SOURCEABLE become speedy-closes as reliable sourcing is introduced. I've personally saved three articles like this one from deletion. Once sourcing was introduced in the text of the article, the nominator withdrew the nomination. I'm not advocating the use of deletion before doing a cursory check for references. In this case the nomination may have benefited from a sentence testifying that the editor looked for sourcing but felt the sourcing imputed limited notability. Furthermore, it is the burden of the editor adding the content to source it. Good faith on the part of the nominator does not amount to an obligation to source contentious claims. If and when the sources listed above make it into the article, I'll change my vote. Protonk (talk) 16:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My experience of improving articles during AFD is not encouraging. For a relevant Monty Python example, see the Rabbit of Caerbannog. I went to some lengths to save that article, citing over 20 sources and yet there were several editors who obdurately clung to their delete vote in the teeth of the evidence. The nominator in that case has since been sanctioned for bad behaviour and yet here we are again with editors such as yourself refusing to accept good sources when they are pointed out. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF. One, that article seems to have survived the deletion debate. Two, show me WHERE in my comment I "refused to accept good sources when they are pointed out." The fact that editors may hang on to positions in an argument is nothing new. An editor that refuses to accept reality wholesale and is later cited by the community for disruptive behavior is a particularly poor example upon which to base a view about all editors in a deletion debate. I am not the last editor you clashed with. Neither is Otto. We are all distinct individuals whose opinions need to be respected on the merits of evidence and who personally need to be respected regardless of the merits of our opinions. Just because some other article was nominated in bad faith doesn't poison the well for future nominations of different articles. Protonk (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, possibly merge A very memorable character, and I take such long lists of "in popular culture" mentions as a sure sign of notability, even if it just serves for merging. – sgeureka ^t•c 18:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep although I don't know of the character is as deserving of the article as the entire scene. Either way, I think the name would be the same anyway.

Someone deleted the laundry list as advertising (which is fine!) but removed the West Australian State Government site.

Comment Capone also has an article at Capone (rapper). So, at the very least they need to be merged, but it's possible they should both just be redirected to Capone-n-Noreaga. WP:Music states that "Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band." I'm not sure if getting arrested for pot possession [58], being present at the Lil Kim shooting incident [59] and sundry other law breaking and rap feuding grants solo notability.

Dragon Red[edit]

The subject of the article seems to fail the notability criteria under WP:MUSIC. The band has released 1 album under an independent label (WP:MUSIC requires at least 2 albums on a major label or a notable independent label), there has been no non-trivial media coverage from independent and reliable sources and the band has not charted a hit on any national music chart although there is mention of having a hit single on a local radio station. All in all, it seems to be a band that may be known locally but, again, it fails the basic tenets of WP:N and WP:MUSIC. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, The Guardian "Chinese grand prix: The McLaren family" lists just six "senior personnel" of the McLaren team, one of which is Fry.

Keep - [63] is a second independent biography from a reliable source (along with the grandprix.com biography already mentioned above) about Fry.

Why shouldn't I use the fiction guideline? Schuym1 (talk) 06:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a compelling reason for deletion, because it is not an actual policy or guideline. If you click on it you will see that it is merely proposed and if you look at its talk page you will see that it is moving toward being marked as historical. To delete articles we need actual and compelling policy based reasons to do so. --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 06:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read through it several times, and I did not notice that at the top. Schuym1 (talk) 06:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, you are not the first to overlook something; we all do sooner or later, but it is key to note that it says, "The following is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. Thus references or links to this page should not describe it as 'policy'." You are of course welcome to add your own thoughts to the discussions at Wikipedia talk:Notability (fiction). It, like an essay, is perfectly reasonable to cite as part of your argument, i.e. to show where you are coming from in the discussion. And essays and proposed guidelines do reflect sometimes interpretations of policies, but in order to outright delete something we need a compelling policy based reason to do so. --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 07:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The people who created and worked on the article as well as the thousands who view it each month disagree. At worst in a situation like this we would merge and redirect with a list of characters or the relevant episode, but we only outright delete when there is a copy vio issue, it is a hoax, it is libelous, it is not from a notable series as this one is, or there is absolutely nowhere we can redirect too--all of which are not the case here. --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 06:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if she was in a notable series. She is a one-shot character. Characters have to be notable themselves, not because they were in a popular series. Schuym1 (talk) 06:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It matters when she was in a notable enough series that she is covered in reliable sources (reviews of the relevant episode and other sources on DC characters cover her) so that she is part of a significant work of fiction that is notable to millions of people and for which we can at worst cover in a character list or as part of the relevant episode's article. In such cases, we just redirect, but that is not an AfD discussion, rather a talk page discussion. Sincerely, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 06:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I suggest Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles should userfy this article, where he will be free to add reliable secondary sources at his leisure and hopefully get an improved version of this article reinstated. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If worse comes to worse it could be, but since there is no valid reason to delete, it should just be kept in mainspace. Sincerely, --Happy Independence Day! Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as article fails WP:N. There is no evidence that this character is notable outside of Batman: The Animated Series. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Terror Titans[edit]

Article about a non-notable fictional 'team'. It consists entirely of a plot summary, unfounded speculation about the nature of the characters (At least two may well be the same characters, and not successors), and the only non-comic citation uses a solicitation about a possible upcoming event, thus a speculative cite. The characters are non-notable, and represent a single story arc which lacks real world critiques and citations about its importance. ThuranX (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The key when looking for out of universe sources on Google is not simply type in "Terror Titans," but to also include a word like interview, which helps to find the out of universe context that can be used to add sectins on character creation.

New Sincerity[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Fails WP:OR and makes claims that are not backed by independent sources. Keep it all, there is not much academic or verifiable research yet due to this movement's infancy. let this be what Wikipedia, at its core, is all about, re-taking credibility from the oppressive institutions that dictate transmission and validity. There IS a transition occuring in our collective esteem that is and will continue its movement from that of postmodernity, and it is about sincerity, simplicity, compromise, and collaboration. Ecoleetage (talk) 09:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. But cut substantially, even almost to the point of a disambiguation page. After a little research, I am fairly confident that the music and Jesse Thorn parts of this page are sufficiently notable and real. The rest, maybe not. “New sincerity” (loosely, in the sense of post-irony) was widely used to describe a group of critically-acclaimed, commercially-unsuccessful bands in Austin in the 1980s, and I’ve been working on articles about some of those bands, which led me to this article. As for the “philosophy” parts of this article: The Jesse Thorn/Sound of Young America part is verifiable and citeable; I had not heard of this (or him) before I found the page and it’s not clear to me whether his “new sincerity” is a put-on or “sincere” (or maybe it’s both), but it certainly exists and is widely commented on. (But on this page, it could and probably should be a very brief explanation with a link to Jesse Thorn#New Sincerity.) The rest of the material in this article seems very difficult to document and should probably be cut as WP:OR except if and where directly verifiable. By the way, if it is not already obvious, this is my first participation in a Wikipedia debate; I apologize for any inappropriate prolixity.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a "notable example" of a public international community according to Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World by Karen Christensen, David Levinson, and subject of a chapter plus much more of Baba Amte: A Vision of New India by Hans Staffner S. J..John Z (talk) 03:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The above sources are only passing references. As such, I still feel the article deserves a delete vote. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is an unusual definition of "passing reference" that calls an entire chapter in a book a "passing reference." (Actually more than one chapter, based on mentions in the text, it looks like around a quarter of the book is about it.) Such a definition, used for article deletion, would result in the deletion of most of the articles in Wikipedia. So it is unlikely it could form the basis of a consensus to delete any article at all. The encyclopedia reference is of course much shorter - it's a specialized encyclopedia, our goal is to incorporate elements of such. It explicitly calls this community "notable". Those are only two references found on a cursory search. According to [65] and [66], one third of another book, D.K. Oza's Voluntary Action and Gandhian Approach is devoted to Anandwan.

Strong keep: The "strong keep" is not just because I'm the creator of the article. I admit that the article may have come across as somewhat non-neutral in tone when I first wrote it (I saw that Ism schism had earlier nominated it for a speedy under G11, "spam or blatant promotion"), but the subject is most definitely notable. I included sources that I thought were reliable, for example the government website for the district of Chandrapur and the Albert Schweitzer Hospital Fund, UK. Of course, John Z has brought in much better references than mine (thank you John, for your argument and excellent sources). In addition, I have edited the article for neutrality, and concerned folks may take a look at the same. - Electronz (talk) 16:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this band has met musician criterion 10 (the one quoted above) in either case:
1. The band has not "performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme ..., performance" as far as TV unless (1) that single episode (#10) of The Real World: Philadelphia meets notability in itself (which it doesn't) and (2) the band's song was actually what normal people would view as an active performance or theme song, not just background music that MTV paid a fee for because the slightest use is a technically "broadcast performance" for licensing purposes. A passing use of a song in a non-notable episode of one season of one series does not make the performers notable.
2. The band has not "performed music for a work that is notable, e.g. ... inclusion on a compilation album" unless that work (compilation) is itself notable: Pledge Your Allegiance... To Satan! is the only album that has an entry on Wikipedia, and appears to fail WP:Notability itself; its record company doesn't even pass WP:Notability. Again, if an album itself doesn't meet WP:Notability (music), a song can't meet notability just from being on the album, and the band that performed it can't meet notability for performing the song.
As User:Wenli said below: even if it were to barely squeak by on either of those two, "it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article" as Wikipedia:Notability (music) says.--Closeapple (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is additionally frustrating when Allmusic, Fangoria, FEARnet, Legends Magazine, Ol' Skool Rodz all notable publications (worthy of wiki articles) have all deemed ‘young werewolves’ worthy of consideration/review/notability. Also, licensing placements were provided via youtube but were taken down after youtube scrubbed all copyright infringed material. How can a musical act ‘verify’ licensing placements when the medium is television/cable? If scans of checks cut for the use of licensed materials are permissible, they can be provided but would that be appropriate for wikipdedia?173.4.14.194 (talk) 23:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)random IP[reply]

Comment I did find an empty Allmusic artist page, withone review. I'd like to see more reliable sources (with links) before I change my vote. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 15:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for checking Doc Strange. I recreated wiki article with several more links to reliable sources. See newest version. I tried to limit sources to publications that had wiki pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.14.7.231 (talk) 15:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Multiple sources have been added to the article proving notability. I've verified several of the given sources; even if the ones I didn't get to fail as reliable sources, notability has been established. Blogs, fanzines and the like are considered reliable sources when the information being backed up is the opinions or statements of the blog or fanzine itself, by the way.
