BLP on composer failing to establish notability and with very few sources (in which the composer is only mentioned in passing). PROD was contested. Jubilee♫clipman 23:59, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless article can be improved with references and evidence of notability. --Deskford (talk) 00:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Now undecided. New links added by Kleinzach suggest he may be notable. --Deskford (talk) 00:58, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It would be helpful to the discussion if those asking for deletion could address each of the sources in the article and explain how it is invalid for the purposes of establishing notability per WP:CREATIVE criterion 3. Phil Bridger (talk) 00:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - Not so much WP:CREATIVE that I was meaning as WP:GNG significant coverage. I'm not sure the three sources actually address this composer in enough detail nor are any of them primarily about him. Also, one of these sources is only tertiary and is not about this composer: of its self this is not a problem but in this case, given the fact that both the Times and the Globe articles only mention him as a composer who happens to have written for a particular instrument, I don't feel there are enough secondary sources about this composer to back it up. With more work, though (adding actual quotes from the articles would be a good start) notability could be perhaps estabilshed. --Jubilee♫clipman 01:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Notability for musicians and composers is covered in Wikipedia:Notability (music). --Klein zach 02:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- More - I hadn't spotted the link at the bottom to the Serpent website specifically about him. This does help establish notability in his field, actually. There might be more to say on him after all... --Jubilee♫clipman 01:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added enough info to convince myself (at least) that this is worth having. I haven't found any reviews yet, but his music is published and his concerto was played by the Boston Pops Orchestra. He is notable in a very small field, but nevertheless IMO notable. --Klein zach 00:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This seems to have had national (USA) coverage at the time. I found references in the Seattle Times and the Orange County (CA) Register. I added references and categories to the article.

Withdraw – At the end of the day, it's better to keep information than dispose of it. The more info the better! :). I will include the following discussion, entitled "Kayavak deletion", that Belugaboy and I had on my talk page:

Hi, Airplaneman, it's Belugaboy535136, the author of Kayavak (beluga whale). Why do you think this whale is insignificant?? Kayavak almost didn't survive!! Have you not read, she became an orphan at five months old?? Forgive me if I'm being too stern, but please, tell me why. —Precedingunsigned comment added by Belugaboy535136 (talk •contribs) 00:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello, nice to meet you. Please take a look at Wikipedia's inclusion and notability policies and you'll see why I thought Kayavak the Beluga whale was not notable enough for her own article. I suggested that she have a mention in the article of her aquarium. Although our opinions may differ, I do not think that being in life-threatening situations and losing a parent signify significance and importance in their own right; more information supporting notability has to be provided. As such, the information has been provided, and I will be happy to withdraw my nomination on the grounds that her article be moved to her proper name, Kayavak, not Kayavak (beluga whale). Also, inline citations should be added. Happy editing, Airplaneman ^talk 01:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Untitled (Faces)[edit]

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

Places researched are listed on the talk page, with no information found on the actual art or the artist. In addition, the majority of the information regards the actual sculptures and their location seems to be from original research, in contradiction of the rules on original research in Wikipedia. The references given on the page only refer to the building, or the building materials and not the pieces of art themselves. Miyagawa (talk) 21:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is an interesting consideration for deletion. The editor who started the article listed places on the Talk page where research was conducted to find out information; however, it seems little beyond two sources were found.

I'm very unclear about the difference of defining something as it exists in reality and verifiable through images versus original resources.

Rather than simply delete this article, it seems that it should more naturally be asked for further research and further thought given to the original research argument.

Finally, I'm unclear as to the argument for deletion of this article. Miyagawa has made a variety of claims related to the notability of this article, all of which I do not understand.

I'm looking forward to hearing a good discussion about the deletion of this article.

This deletion tag should be removed.

Delete as unnotable, with no prejudice against changing !vote if reliable, non-trivial references can be supplied. I see no reason why every piece of art and sculpture is inherently notable. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 22:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Those references do appear to be both reliable and non-trivial. I'm a little troubled by Dylanfromthenorth's completely subjective decision making in regards to deciding what sculpture is notable. --Richard McCoy (talk) 23:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sculptures are essential elements of the building itself, as documented in referenced sources. Jgmikulay (talk) 03:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are a variety of articles discussing plazas, sculpture gardens and memorials on Wikipedia. This article includes secondary sources discussing the plaza (thus, notability) and describes the art. If the issue persists, I suggest a name change focusing on the Plaza, rather than full deletion. HstryQT (talk) 02:44, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename I would support restructuring the article to concentrate on the plaza, including the faces as one part of the article. Makes more sense to me now than simply throwing away all the work. In addition, should that be done, then the sources become primary sources rather than secondary as they seem to be referencing the plaza rather than the faces.

Non-notable variation of Tang Soo Do taught by single individual with no coverage by reliable, independent sources. Singularity42 (talk) 21:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 00:58, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Information to consider[edit]

The reason I created Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan was because it is a new style less than one year old, and there was no information about it on Wikipedia. I am a student in said style, so I thought it would be a good idea to create an article. I mentioned in it that Master Bill Church was the head instructor of the style, so I though it best to make an article about him as well. Originally, I was going to make the information about him a section in Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan, but there was so much information that I was turning the article in to one that talked mainly about him instead of the style. The idea that he should have his own article came partly from the fact that there is an article about grand master Hwang Kee. Or maybe Bill Church is not famous enough. But if the articles must be deleted, than so be it. I do not wish to go against Wikipedia policy. Thank you. Paper fork ♠ 01:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan article as a nn new art. As to the instructor, I am inclined to say delete, but is the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame worth considering? The majority of these are worthless. JJL (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the Tang Soo Do Kyohoe Kwan article since it's clearly a non-notable new art. The article on Bill Church is a little trickier, but I'm inclined to say Delete on it, too. The description of him at the U.S. Martial Arts HOF merely says he's the co-founder of a school that has produced over 100 black belts and that he's active in a variety of community kid safety programs. Certainly commendable, but I don't think it shows notability. I don't see evidence of accomplishments that pass the martial arts notability criteria.

Community music education programs[edit]

This article is a list of music educations programs that is simply a directory contrary to WP:NOTDIR. Whpq (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I had drastically pruned the previous introduction as it consisted of unencyclopedic and inappropriate personal commentary and did not adhere to a neutral pont of view.[11] Some of the programs listed are not explictly inspired by El Sistema (and may even pre-date it) and their inclusion violates Wikipedia guidelines on original research and synthesis. It equates actual schools such as the Boston Arts Academy and Conservatory Lab Charter School with community programs and the Learning Through Music Curriculum with El Sistema. They are very different. As such this is simply a link farm of loosely connected websites/organizations. The "Mission Statements" listed are copy/pasted from the respective websites which raises copyright issues. Even if deleted, the material will not be 'lost'. The creator had also pasted the article verbatim into El Sistema.[12] It's now removed, but still in the edit history. Note that this was part of a class assignment for Longy School of Music students. See: User:Futureclass. Voceditenore (talk) 23:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Re-include in the article El Sistema. As an article, Community music education programs could actually include anything you like, eg outreach for young people from or within youth clubs, community projects that visit residential homes, every local churches' musical outreach, any university music project that sends the students out into the community etc etc. It is just far too wide a title as it stands to have any meaningful focus that avoids OR and POV. --Jubilee♫clipman 23:27, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This entire article is straight up a list of who's-in-what-games, by each game. There's no way to cut it other than this is game guide material as we wouldn't do this for weapon lists or other items related to a game series, and as a result serves no real purpose to inform the reader of, well, anything at all to be honest other than, well... just who appeared in which title.

Lloyd Bryan Adams[edit]

This autobiography reads like a promo piece. The subject fails WP:BIO.

The only real reference that might claim notability is the multichannel.com plug that was likely picked up from a press release. none of the rest are Wp:RS. The one award that might lend notability is the Telly Award which is a very insignificant award, given to thousands of people each year. Failed Speedy Deletion as WP:CSD#G11.

Weak delete. WP:N. His IMDB page (which is not always a WP:RS) is impressive, but the credits are mostly as a producer, i.e. more business than creative. There was an apparent WP:COI in the creation of the article (by User:Lloydbadams), but that can be overcome by editing.

Gay Quarter of Quebec City[edit]

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

Recently deleted on fr:, with the rationale that Quebec City doesn't really have a gay village as such — it has a couple of gay businesses that happen to be located near Le Drague, but the city's gay community is widely dispersed and doesn't really live in a unified neighbourhood. The early version of the article was literally just a business directory with widely varying street addresses confirming that the businesses in question aren't all in the same neighbourhood. And given that we're talking about Quebec City, if the article is unsourced and unsourceable on fr:, then it's beyond hope here. Delete. And note that I'm a gay man, so this isn't a homophobic "delete gay villages" crusade — it's more of a "don't create articles about gay villages that don't actually exist in real life".

Guild (permaculture)[edit]

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

This is an awkward stub article. The words as used form jargon phrases becoming somewhat impenetrable to the non topic-expert. The article title, if the article is deemed to be valid here, should probably be changed to permaculture guild since it appears misnamed, but it has no references and thus appears to be Original Research, or possibly an attempt to establish the terms by placing it in an encyclopaedia. So I am proposing it for discussed deletion on the basis that a PROD doesn't seem fair to it, and AfD will give it a substantial chance of discussion and perhaps enhancement. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to permaculture. Seems to be a legitimate topic, per this search, but there's insufficient information here to justify a separate article. Pburka (talk) 20:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment While I understand the logic of a redirect, redirecting an article of this name is not valid because it is not a topic anyone would look for. If such a redirect is appropriate it may be created today without conflicting with this article by creating it at Permaculture guild. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:44, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I believe that this article has the correct name already. The term isn't "permaculture guild", it's just "guild", but it has a specific meaning in the field of permaculture. Of course, the other advantage of redirecting is that it can be done boldly, without clogging up AfD. Pburka (talk) 20:52, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Then the article has the alleged term incorrectly emboldened within it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, delete this one. The only citations pertinent to the subject matter are primary sources; if the project had been cited in WP:RS, the article's creator would no doubt have added such citations already. - Fayenatic (talk) 23:00, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
don't delete I disagree that it is non notable. The concept is more than simply dropping tree seedlings which would of course die. The article proposes a detailed mechanism for dropping a mini self sustaining environment, ie a hygroscopic cell - a car tyre, a source of hygroscopic nutrient - sewage sludge, and a means of preventing same being buried in sand by means of a self erecting sand fence, which would allow any seedling to survive. This has all been approximately costed and checked for feasibility - ie nos of planes, tyres, areas covered etc and references. Given the disastrous soil erosion in china, the need for carbon free power generation, this is certainly notable. OK it is only published on the Claverton Energy Group website, which has several hundred, mainly professional contributors and users, so maybe that is sufficient grounds for deletion....but there are numerous credible references within the article backing up the main calculations and findings.Engineman (talk) 12:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. More notable than the average local politician (e.g. he was an official observer at the Palestinian election), but I can only find minimal, local press coverage.

Weak Keep -- He is the prospective Labour Parliamentary candidate in a labour-held seat. If we delete this article now and he wins the election (now due within six months), we will need to produce one within the next six months, if he wins. If he loses the election (or decides not to stand), that will be the time to delete the article. With an election pending, we are inevitably going to get a lot of candidate biographies. I would suggest a mass cull of unsuccessful candidates, just after the election. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability: none given, and I have not found any. Note that "he is not notable, but who knows: maybe one day he will be" is not a justification for keeping an article: that is what Peterkingiron is saying. Likewise "I am seeing a good amount of secondary source coverage (but am not telling you where it is)" is not a justification for keeping. This is one of a string of articles all created by an account which has been used only for creating articles about Morrish Solicitors and their partners and employees, and, in my opinion, is spam.

Article is beyond Original Research and/or Synthesis.

MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't understand a word of it but I can tell from the opening that it seeks to advance a viewpoint rather than document an existing one. What that viewpoint actually is eludes me. In fact, reading it for a second time, I think it is giving me a headache. The sections seem entirely disjointed from eachother. I can't rule out the possibility that there might be an encyclopaedic topic in here somewhere but I don't know what it might be.

~~Weak Keep~~Delete this paper is listed as part of a "working Paper Series" which often means not peer-viewed. However,

this site states: The papers published in the series have undergone a process of peer review.

This paper falls into the same category. Oddly, neither is included in the article (unless I'm missing them). The article does require work, several of the links are directly to papers, without indicating who published them, when or where. I realize if the reader wants to find them, a direct link works, but it is useful to the reader, and critical to the reviewer, to understand whether the papers are peer-reviewed. In addition, important claims in the lede are not backed by references, but this is not an argument for deletion, rather an argument for better editing. As implied, adding these apparently peer-reviewed papers is important.

One of the included references is published online by Elsevier, one of the most respected publishers. It used to be assumed that such a publication implied peer-review, but I haven't stayed on top of the online outlets for such publishers, so I don't know for sure. At least one other paper is in the same category, so if peer-reviewed, it would help tip the scales in favor of this article.--SPhilbrick T 16:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Her published papers do not have unusually high number of citations. Does not meet WP:PROF. Pburka (talk) 20:41, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. GS gives a grand total of 2 cites. Many hundreds of cites are normally required to pass WP:Prof #1. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Delete it is safe to assume in the absence of very strong evidence that the papers published by a master's student are unlikely to be significant enough in the field to meet any interpretation of WP:PROF, & thecitation data bears this out. Critical Perspectives in Accounting is a long standing journal originally published by Academic Press, which Elsevier later bought; the AP journal list, though smaller, was much more distinguished than Elsevier's list at the time. But one paper in even a very good journal is not notability . DGG ( talk ) 01:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have edited the page to remove the weakly referred to working papers, and in the main body (top) of the page I have included the main points of her thesis around Education with an external reference to a paper which cites her work. I'm sorry that the process has taken so long. Even though I read the information about the creation of pages, and thought I had followed rules, it's obvious I haven't. I think all of the concerns are addressed now, and the main 3 important papers are the only ones that are included with external references. (Xmlgod (talk) 10:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Delete. WoS shows not a single hit using the loosest query (author = Rudkin K*), basically confirming what Xxanthippe found using GS – essentially no impact. Claims in the article such as "She is a leading researcher in the fields of Accounting and Education" seem to be gross overstatements. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 15:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]
I'm not sure how complete WoS is when it comes to accounting. I can't find anything from Luca Pacioli when I look on the pulic search site for WoS, but I might not have the same access as you. (Xmlgod (talk) 22:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]
- Point taken. I know that it covers mainstream journals like Econometrica, et al. – there are >200 journal titles listed under "economics", about 80 under the "business" topic, and >100 in "education". You can browse lists here. My assumption was that a claim of being a "leading researcher" in such areas would imply showing up somewhere in this broad cut of journals. GS seems to return similar results and it generally has a much more liberal inclusivity. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 22:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Well, one of the sources is from January 2001, and the other is from June 2001. So it wasn't something that just got attention for one day and was forgotten. Bear in mind that news sources for things that happened in 2001 can be surprisingly scarce on the Internet—it's very likely that there are more sources than that, including some that appeared only in print.

Comment - this article is about a marginally notable footballer. He definitely played in the Greek third division, (I've added a match report as a source) which is professional according to the Hellenic League website, but I'm inclined to ignore WP:ATHLETE for someone who spent just a few seasons at such a low level and almost certainly won't pass the general notability guideline. Jogurney (talk) 16:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep reference has been added confirming (I think I can make him out as no.15?) he has played at the 3rd level in Greece, which is regarded as Fully Pro and thus meeting Athlete. Eldumpo (talk) 23:02, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarded as fully-pro by who? This source which is used to 'prove' notability doesn't say the article is fully-pro; in fact, it infers it isn't by saying that that teams which play in this league have been relegated "from the professional leagues", which implies that this league isn't! Giant Snowman 22:16, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I searched the Hellenic League's website (keep in mind the obvious limitations of Babelfish), and found this article which very strongly suggests that only the Alpha Ethniki and Beta Ethniki are fully professional (with youth sides). I don't read Greek, so I could be a Babelfish issue, but I know "Επαγγελματικών" means professional and its use in the article seems pretty clear.

Comment - can't read Greek either, but did his team play at a higher level while he was playing for them? To me the reference (via Babelfish) suggested it was the 2nd level, which would change things. 8lgm (talk) 11:32, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Hellenic League's website, the last time Panetolikos played in the second level was the 1999–00 season (of course they are back again in the 2009–10 season). I looked at a few match reports from the 1999–00 season and could't find Nikolaidis (it's also well before he started his senior career). Jogurney (talk) 14:10, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - although it's clear that he has played at the 3rd level of Greek football, it is unlikely that such level is fully-pro, and the article doesn't pass the general notability guideline. Jogurney (talk) 16:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This band appears to fail WP:BAND and the GNG. ^Bongo_matic 14:13, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sources somewhat after the time of nomination (in this version) were:

Sonicbids: Appears to be a booking site for bands to get gigs. Promotional by definition. Text probably provided by the subject. Not significant coverage, not RS, not independent.
smnnews.com: Non-RS, appears to be copypaste from press release. Not significant coverage, not RS, not independent.
The West-Georgian: Local, college newspaper. College newspapers have never been accepted as establishing notability. Not RS (for notability purposes).
absolutepunk.com: user-contributed content. Not-RS.

mtv.com: references limited to name of band and song—zero descriptive information about band or its works. Not significant coverage (indeed not even "coverage" by normal definition).
mtv.com: references limited to name of band and song—zero descriptive information about band or its works. Not significant coverage (indeed not even "coverage" by normal definition).
imdb.com: one sentence of user-generated content (in full, "The episode is named after a song by Kenotia."). imdb has never been considered to establish notability, even of films covered comprehensively. No significant coverage, not RS.

allmusic.com (not included in artcile): directory entry without any biography entry at all—moreover, allmusic biographies have never been considered to establish notability. Not significant coverage (indeed not even "coverage" by normal definition, not RS.

^Bongo_matic 23:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update. A few new "sources" have been added. Two are directory entries (Billboard and iTunes). Another is a one sentence promotional blurb (neither for the band nor the director) indicating that a graduate of Musicians Institute directed one of the band's videos.

Delete. The WP:BAND threshold is two albums; Kenotia has released one. Also, I have questions about the reliability of AbsolutePunk as a source, since it's unclear how they report news.

Comment Seems to me as a wrong nomination for AFD. If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion. See WP:Guide_to_deletion#Nomination PCgo (talk) 02:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~: I did not understand why this article was nominated for deletion. The sources in the article are reliable, the band appeared in MTV many times and they have a profile in Allmusic, not included in the article. So, why this article was nomited for deletion? Can someone answer me? Victor Silveira (talk) 14:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After the discussion below, I re-read the article and the sources. Maybe C.Fred and Hairhorn are rights. There are much more infomation in the article than in the sources. So, I'll change my vote to Neutral, because I'm still not convinced this band is non-notable. Since it appeared in MTV, I think there are some TV programs about the group. But, since such sources are not easy to find and I couldn't find any other reliable source in the web, I shall leave the discussion. Thank you! Victor Silveira (talk) 09:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources providing non-trivial coverage do you consider qualifying as WP:RS? Allmusic is a directory—inclusion there is not an indicator of notability. ^Bongo_matic 17:48, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment thewestgeorgian.com - Newspaper of the University of West Georgia isn't reliable? They have an editorial oversight. www.mtv.com - Isn't reliable too? They have an editorial oversight. www.allmusic.com is a reliable source! Should be included in this article. Editorial Content: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=32:amg/info_pages/a_about.html They have an editorial oversight; So whats your problem? All reliable sources according to WP:RS and WP:V. PCgo (talk) 20:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PCgo is right! All these sources have editorial oversight and give notability to the group. They satisfy Wikipedia's criteria. There is no problem with them. Victor Silveira (talk) 22:35, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you rework the article to show that the bulk of the article is supported by them? Right now, all they source are the fringes of the article (intro, infobox); the bulk of the article is sourced to AbsolutePunk. —C.Fred (talk) 23:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

C.Fred, I don't see any problem in the article be sourced to AbsolutePunk. It is a forum with editorial oversight, which is acceptable by Wikipedia. Well... I can try to rework it later. Actually, I'm a little busy. Victor Silveira (talk) 00:17, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being mentioned on a forum isn't evidence of notability. Neither is an article in a student paper. Hairhorn (talk) 05:29, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say that. Please, pay attention to the discussion. Victor Silveira (talk) 18:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. The discussion about whether these sources are reliable is moot, because the coverage isn't significant enough to establish notability. This coverage is trivial. Hairhorn (talk) 18:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Hairhorn... Now, I understand what you said. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Victor Silveira (talk) 09:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why you are trying to re-invent the wheel, Hairhorn? Qoute: "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight". All mentioned sources do have editorial oversight so they are RS! We do not need a new defination what "Reliable sources" are. See WP:RS PCgo (talk) 16:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really want to get bogged down in this, but you and I aren't riding the same wheel. There's a huge difference between saying, as WP:RS does, that "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight", and what you seem to be saying, something like "if it has editorial oversight, then it's reliable". One thing does not imply the other. WP:RS also explicitly says "Internet forum postings [...] are largely not acceptable." Hairhorn (talk) 23:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thought but your statements are reffering to 'Self-published sources'. Reliability in specific context - See Wikipedia:RS#Self-published_sources_.28online_and_paper.29 and WP:RS#Statements_of_opinion. This article (Kenotia) meets WP:GNG because there are some reliable sources and AbsolutePunk isn't just a "Internet forum". It has also an article on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AbsolutePunk - Please look at the references there too! PCgo (talk) 01:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that section is called "self published and questionable sources". But again, this is all a red herring: it hardly matters whether or not absolutepunk or a student paper or an MTV listing are reliable, because they're all trivial. Hairhorn (talk) 04:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep added: but see additional comment below: I de'prodded this one. Wikipedia itself is clearly notable, and the fact that many different language components of it exist is also notable. As I wrote the other day in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Czech Wikipedia (2 nomination), "I am not in favor of merging every article about every different language wikipedia into one article. because i think wikipedia itself is notable and should have a page on wikipedia, and subpage organization makes sense." And unlike the Czech article at the time of nomination, at least this has some references even if they are internal. Even if there are no other sources to be added, a fact I am not yet convinced of, I am hard pressed to see how the project is improved if this page is deleted.--Milowent (talk) 15:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- because we would not let anyone else use the logic "X is notable, therefore every sub-X is notable." Polarpanda (talk) 15:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - its used all the time, its dependent on how you define X, however.--Milowent (talk) 15:39, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe it is far less likely there will ever be external sources on this topic, if only because there are 12,000,000 speakers of the Czech language in your example and 2,000 speakers of Saterland Frisian in this case. Further, reliable, third-party sources are a core requirement of notability and of the project in general, we cannot exempt articles just because they are on topics we are partial to for having the same goals as our project. MBisanz ^talk 15:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- My humble opinion as a frequent contributor to the Saterfrisian Wikipedia is, that an article on it is useful as soon as a user can obtain information from it, he won't get otherwise. Of course, there are many other ways to it, but I feel you should not block any possible way.--Pyt (talk) 16:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Digging into this more, I see there is some precedent I was not aware of that should be noted in this discussion. In the May-August 09 discussion here [16], the proper treatment of smaller language wikipedias was debated at some length. That discussion links to a slew of AfD discussions from earlier this year, where the close was to redirect to List of Wikipedias. Since I doubt consensus has changed in the last 4 months, and that consensus seems pretty strong, I suppose that should be the correct result here as well. At least having the redirect will prevent article recreation and avoid wasted efforts. I am going to leave my Keep vote as my personal position, but I fully accept that the outcome should be Redirect--Milowent (talk) 16:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate or merge. In looking at WP:CRYSTAL, which specifically says "All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred", one might consider that the available sources showing coverage since 2007 seem to meet the requirements for inclusion in some manner... even if only as a sourced section in the David Spade article. Variety, Monsters and Critics, Slash Film, Empire, Insider. It would seem sensible to let this one be worked on and improved as more press becomes available.

Delete Unless we're going to have articles for every potential scoreline? (That was a joke, please nobody start articles for those) Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 13:57, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject matter is quite interesting, but the article suffers from some fatal flaws. First, and foremost, to the extent that the claims are verifiable, they ought to be discussed in an article about the theory, not a specific application. On the chance that someone is interested in that avenue, note that "Parisi Theory" is already established as a term, with an entirely different meaning. Second, the article has absolutely no references, despite hints that theoretical work has been done. Third, the description in the article while interesting is either Original Research and inadmissible, or an unreferenced summary of work that should be referenced. Third, the only support for the theory is highly anecdotal, consisting of two unreferenced examples. This theory easily lends itself to statistical analysis, but that work shouldn't be done in the article. It should be found elsewhere, or developed and published elsewhere, and then an article might be appropriate. At best, is some other article is written with appropriate title and references, it may be appropriate to redirect this title, on the chance that the best title for the alternative article wouldn't be the obvious search term. However, that shouldn't be considered until someone undertakes that article.--SPhilbrick T 17:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. This article appears to be original research and/or a hoax. The article purports to cite the research of Lewis Parisi into the ability of teams to defend a two goal lead -- but a Google search for that comes up with only this Wikipedia article and no other sources. It is unclear whether the "Lewis Parisi" mentioned in this article really exists or, if he does, whether he has actually done the research described in this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete made-up junk. I'd even dispute the point that Sphilbrick concedes above: the subject matter isn't interesting which is why there's no statistical analysis on the subject. Pichpich (talk) 19:54, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Notability not assessed SyG (talk) 11:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The main claim Glickman has to notability is that he devised the rating system used now by the United States Chess Federation. The article cites one reference, a fairly comprehensive interview with him which was published in the October 2006 Chess Life. However, I see very little point in an article where the entire content is "Mark Glickman is the inventor of the Glicko rating system, which was created as an improvement over the Elo rating system.", so my vote is to redirect to Glicko rating system. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:43, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Sjakkalle Voorlandt (talk) 13:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect I concur with the redirect argument. The current article contains nothing of significance beyond the reference to Glicko rating system.

List of Nitrome Limited skins[edit]

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

This was PRODded as "utterly, boringly non-notable", and I have to say I agree; however the author wrote on the talk page "Oppose. This shouldn't be deleted because its "boring"." He didn't remove the PROD, but I'm afraid, in the spirit of WP:PROD and WP:BITE, that has to be taken as a dePROD. No, the article shouldn't be deleted because it is boring, but because the subject is not notable - there is no evidence of independent comment on these skins - and because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. JohnCD (talk) 11:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- I had seconded the PROD, and I don't see a reason to think the original proposer necessarily meant that this article was both boring and non-notable, rather than simply being non-notable in a boring way, which I think it is. Some articles are flagrantly, outrageously non-notable. That aside, while Nitrome itself seems notable I have not been able to find that the list of its skins is; and while it may be useful to some people to collect this information here, WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies. --Glenfarclas (talk) 11:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disco-Pop[edit]

Comment. This seems to be a real term that is used in the music world, but it is hard to pin down exactly what it is, and to find solid sources. Googling for "disco pop" (in quotes) turns up many hits on the first few search results pages. Judging from the results, it seems that the genre has been around since before 2006, although perhaps the term is newer. The genre seems to be somewhere between dance-pop and post-disco. If kept, the article certainly needs to be expanded and better defined. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Googling has only proven that two words are sometimes put together, not that it is a term or a genre. A term presupposes there's a commonly accepted definition, not only the name. Garret Beaumain (talk) 15:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I totally agree with the nominator. Also disco-pop is not a genre. We can also have funk-pop, jazz-pop, etc it's just saying "pop-oriented disco music"/"pop-oriented funk music", etc. Disco-pop has been evoluted in 1970s with artists like ABBA, Boney M, etc. By the way, Gnarls Barkley is some kind of alternative/hip hop and Mika is indie pop.

Comment. Wikipedia already has an article on sustainable agriculture. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 23:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article is not on sustainable agriculture. It's about research farm, I think. It's hard to tell what the article is about with so much information in it that it totally irrelevant to the topic. I don't see any original research, just paragraph after paragraph after paragraph of somewhat unreadable information. Hats off to everyone who made decisions based on the text in the article. I think the topic might be notable, but not in this rendition, and probably its title is incorrect also. No vote on this one as I can't read the article. --IP69.226.103.13 (talk) 22:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JDownloader[edit]

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

Non-notable software product. Sources found in typical search Google news, books, scholar, do not show any significant sources. Short product announcements, comments to other news articles, and was used once in an academic setting (ie, an academic paper that is not about jdownloader).

Their lack of a marketing department is not a reason to call it a Non-notable software product. If you take a look at their support forum with 10,416 threads and 56,432 posts, you will see that is a quite popular program.

Keep. I see this program as notable (as one of the first download managers to automatically download a whole plethora of rapidshare/related web hosting sites), however, I don't think that WP:CRYSTAL on breaking captcha/lawsuits follows policy.

The problem with this is that lots of citations which theoretically show relevancy in its particular field don't meet "reliable source" guidelines.

I just try to understand : this is a supposition ok. The software is a legal software : it is the use of the user that is sometimes illegal. It depends on the content : If you use jdownloader in order to download free and open content, or private contents : it is totally legal. You know you can use free software and do illegal things : do you want to erase windows , ubuntu etc ? you can download free and open source bittorent : hope this is clear now.

Wikipedia's inclusion policy is based on verified, neutral, information that is not original. Information must be based on reliable sources.

Do you agree that some article cannot be "verified" , most of the real counterculture article cannot be verified : because they are not in the mainstream culture, and nobody in the mainstream will change their position on them. And does verified and neutral mean : unification ? Totalitarism : only one way of thinking ? YOU see I think this need to be understood : rules like "verified" or neutral OK ! But you need to accept sometimes article cannot be "verified" (by the mainstrean media) : neutrality does not mean : follow the sheeple.

Keep. As far as I could see, it's the de facto standard on online forum communities exchanging megaupload and rapidshares links, but I don't think you'll find a NYT article on this to support my statement, you'll have to know how the communities work form the inside. 4v4l0n42 (talk) 17:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice. Yes, I see some WP:POPULAR arguments being made. Please avoid those. I searched Google Books [28] and found nothing. I also searched Google News [29] and found a few hits but nothing of substance that would indicate encyclopedic notability. Not in a language that I can understand, anyhow.

- Just because you don't understand Spanish, it's not a good reasons not to count those articles. Besides, according to this reasoning, why would a program such as Ktorrent, that has less Google results, less mentions on Google news, be worthy of a Wikipedia article?

  - Comment I dislike WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments, but at the same time, who expects a software to be mentioned in google books? There are many software's that are notable in their respective fields (JDownloader being one of them) that do not have "reliable" resources by wikipedia "standards", but if you are to go to their respective communities, you will be able to see that they are notable. This is not "unverifiable" at all because any individual can go verify it. As for original research, I personally find the term laughable because anyone writing an article on an unfamiliar topic will indubitably do original research by looking at websites relevant to the topic. In regards to WP:RAP and WP:IAR however, I do stick by my keep vote for the sake of the encyclopedia. I've seem enough software articles deleted from the wiki because they didn't have "reliable sources" (or considered so by the mainstream) and other completely rubbish software kept due to artificial attempts to game the system (reactionary self published "citations"). ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 19:30, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another two tidbit about Jdownloader [30] and [31].

Every last google books hit consists of "[product name] [product url] [price]" in lists of similar software—the very model of insignificant coverage.

Delete per nominator. Andrevan@ 08:24, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
When the notability of an article is in question, we have a test that we apply: is there non-trivial coverage in more than one reliable source? This test is simple, objective and clear, and as Wikipedian guidelines go, it is also old and strong. Tim Song has provided two reliable sources, and the coverage does not appear to be trivial, so the test is passed.
The General Notability Guideline is of central importance to Wikipedia. It is what enables content contributors to decide for themselves whether material is suitable for inclusion; in other words, the GNG is what lets writers create material without going through a committee process first.
Because of that, I think that passing the GNG is a bright-line inclusion criterion, and I think we need extraordinarily strong reasons to disregard it. I do not see that any such strong reasons apply here.—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 09:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Tim Song, [42] and [43]. Whenever recommendations are being made it lifts the coverage beyond trivial, in my opinion, even if there isn't much written about the actual subject. Dpmuk (talk) 10:38, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, particularly after new sources have been linked above. Concerning nominating rationale; Saying it was deleted twice before is quite a red herring in the special case of this article. Where the first was a different article deleted after an AfD of questionable consensus and a closer leaving no rationale, and the second deletion being done in odd circumstances and then overturned? I'd say that it's basically the first AfD round for this article trying to hold itself on Wikipedia. The DRV particularly mentioned the possibility of a later AfD, and there are quite appropriate concerns raised. The only other thing I can offer as more statement of notability would be the coverage in multiple languages... though I know breadth of article isn't automatically part of notability criteria, I think it's at least encouraging toward it. ♪ daTheisen (talk) 11:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I thought I could rewrite it, but in trying, I find I am not sure I understand the article's basic premise, "a world of difference between Desktop Virtualization and Workspace Virtualization. "--("workspace virtualization" seems to be used in the article alternately with "workplace virtualization") I think from the examples given that what is meant might be a virtual working whatever which is not based on the desktop of the individual user, but rather on the server. The distinction is probably real, but the article needs to be rewritten from scratch to be comprehensible. Readers can have no assurance about what is standard terminology when the article is written with the clear purpose of presenting the POV of the author, which is to promote the server-based concept. The final paragraph is telling: " with all the jargon’s floating around there is a need for having clear understanding of ... accurate nomenclature. ... The effort is to ensure that the common layman understands the technology in the right perspective to be able to take the right decision." DGG ( talk ) 02:30, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Galaxy Express Corporation[edit]

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

The organization's notability is in question. CSD was contested under the indication that "sources may imply notability." However that notability seems to be limited to a project which is scheduled for cancellation. This is in violation of WP:CRYSTAL. I cannot find significant coverage beyond this future (cancelled?) project. Shirik (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The historical notability of the company is not dependent upon the success of the GX rocket effort. Even if GX is cancelled, the company is notable as being the first of its kind in Japan, i.e. the first privately led commercial-government space-launch partnership. Shirik may well be correct, that the listed sources may only imply this without explicitly stating it. No doubt the article is imperfect; it is a stub! What we all attempt to do here is improve Wikipedia. So if anyone would like to improve Wikipedia, why not start by finding some good sources for this article, rather than deleting it? (sdsds - talk) 18:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, please don't take the deletion nomination so personally. We are all here to improve Wikipedia, and while we might have differing views of what is best for the project, it's important to discuss those ideas instead of immediately going out and attacking bold actions. That being said, I only can go off of what I can see, and I lack the expertise to identify alternative sources of notability. If you have any recommendations I am all ears, but I can't really go out looking for notability when (1) I have no idea where to start and (2) the article only indicates notability from that particular project, which is inappropriate as discussed earlier. Shirik (talk) 19:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - In an attempt to justify rescuing this article, I attempted to find significant coverage of this company, but I am not getting very far. I tried queries such as this one through Google News and haven't really identified any content beyond one hit for the aforementioned cancelled rocket.

Even still, I'm having trouble finding a reliable source to site. That being said, the name is out there, as well. I'm on the verge of withdrawing this nomination to give the article the benefit of the doubt. I just wish I could get my hands on something concrete to justify it in my own mind. Unfortunately, I am not an expert in this subject so I cannot adequately interpret the sources that I am finding on my own. If someone could find a source for me (assuming that I am still unable to find one) and present it to me, I would be more than happy to withdraw this nomination and work on rescuing the article. --Shirik (talk) 08:02, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the article is badly written doesn't inherently reflect on the notability (or, more importantly, verifiability) of the meme. The most prominent published references I can find are by Matt Yglesias (on his Atlantic blog) and the article he references in the Brown Daily Herald (a student newspaper). I'll leave it up to others to determine whether those add up to verifiability.

Delete. There simply isn't enough significant coverage of this in reliable sources to sustain an article. It is currently sourced to a student-written article (same article linked from two different sites to make it look like two sources), and the best additional sources anyone can find are another student article and a blog post that consists of little more than a link to a YouTube video. This isn't a hoax, but it isn't notable either.

As described in the article, it's not a religious "theory" but a religion by itself, although small (but in existence for more then one hundred years). Concerning the possible "hoax", as stated (and linked, referred) in the discussion and the article, Faithism is the religion of several defunct and existing groups, organizations, churches and one of them, the "Universal Faithists of Kosmon " is on Wikipedia already; There is a Museum in Las Cruces NM (Shalam Colony & Oahspe Mystery Museum P.O. BOX 159 Dona Ana, NM 88032-0159 USA )which issues a Magazine, " The Vortex" ,an archive at the NM State University, USA, several, now closed communities , books edited in print and out of print by organizations who claim to be Faithist etc. Numbers are now small, but real; evidently it's no "hoax".

I am a non-carnivourous pacifist Faithist in One Great Spirit, as defined in Oahspe page 1 verses 16-20, I have practiced this religion as best I can, without the present existence of a Faithist commune to join in, for the past 30 years. We are working toward re-establishing such a communal setting where followers of Jehovih/Om the Great Spirit can practice communal oneness, holding all things in common as taught in Oahspe and as described of early believers in Acts 4:32.

Keep, Faithism is a term which is used for (excessive) attachment to Faith,even as a word for discriminating on grounds of faith, as sexism,racism etc. but it is also the term that several groups, churches and the like use now and used in the past to address themselves, as in Universal Faithists of Kosmon , and others (consistently with the use of it in Oahspe, the Holy Book of the religion) ; given the small numbers of the followers, now, you can't expect to find the term used primarily to address the religion, which nevertheless exists, as it can be also seen by google; Vanais (talk) 05:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)— Vanais (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment If you digit "Faithism" in the online catalogue of the Library of Congress , at : [48] you find data and referrals of a magazine and texts on Faithism as a religion, edited in London, in 1920 ;with further details available if you click the press or save button, and also here:[49] As a religion on its own, although with a a name which (now) is mostly used to describe something else, Faithism has been in existence for more then 100 years, important for being founded on Oahspe , being part of the spiritualist movement, having a peculiar combination of religious and masonic characters and features, like Mormonism, albeit on a small size, showing, again small, many of the traits of other much bigger religions, like differences between "sola scriptura" believers, schism over calendar issue, secret ceremonies and oral traditions , strong concern over social issues with several communes founded, of which, the Shalam commune in NM, USA was relevant and is still matter of interest and research, also at academic level ; Vanais (talk) 01:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)— Vanais (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Students of Theology, Philosophy, Religion, etc., would expect to find all religions in such a wide resource as Wikipedia.

Comment Actually these latter comments do not show that scale is important; The fact that Faithists have always been few has been highlighted all the time,both in the article and the discussion, but what is important is to notice how much a small religion can have the same characters and history of the big ones,I believe this is one of the reasons why Faithism deserves attention;in particular it's a replica of many characters of the Mormon religion , but it failed, by far, to reach its worldwide success; under a social and historical point of view it should not be dismissed ; in other words, research about Faithism is a reasearch on religious phenomena and important aspects of 19th and 20th century America .Vanais (talk) 00:28, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While I am open to the idea that wikipedia covers any and all religions, I cannot find anything that would give me a suitable definition of the term in the way the article uses it ("faithism," as mentioned above/earlier is mostly given as a neologism along the lines of "racism" or "sexism"). When this is the case, I would deem it the responsibility of the article's creator to establish notability. As it stands, the two online-sources do not support or confirm the notability of the topic, one is a wikipedia self-reference, and the rest is a poor assemblage of various writings that hardly anyone could check or has access to.

Keep. I agree that the style is a problem. Sometimes you need to search under variations of someone's name. I did a search for him using the name Bob Tapella and found references from independent sources such as this one: Change Ahead for GPO? from Graphic Arts Monthly. Using the name Robert Tapella, I found these articles at the Washington Post: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Robert+Tapella%60site%3Awashingtonpost.com I think this coverage adds up to notability. - Eastmain (talk) 03:48, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed my vote to Keep based on the articles supplied by Eastman. The Washington Post reports him testifying numerous times before Congress, appearing at press conferences with Nancy Pelosi, etc. I don't know why I didn't find this stuff when I searched but he is clearly notable. Now somebody needs to rewrite the article so it contains references and sounds encyclopedic.... --MelanieN (talk) 19:51, 20 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Does he meet the minimal threshold of notability? The answer is yes, all the CEOs of the GPO (25 of them throughout history) appeared before Congress for confirmaton, this will generate some news. But I doubt that we can find anything about him that is not already covered or can be covered in the GPO article. The GPO article already lists all the CEOs. I think we should redirect this page to it. Sole Soul (talk) 02:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The GPO article lists them. The individual articles are the place to cover their individual careers--what we need is write the earlier articles.

The page is a classic case of WP:TenPoundHammer's Law and WP:Crystal. In its current form the page fails to meet notability in music because it is not clear why the album is significant. Without a album cover, confirmed track listing, album name or even released single this breaks every wikipedia rule and guideline under the sun regarding notability and crystal balling.

Merge to Aerosmith. Contrary to the nom, this does not break "every wikipedia rule and guideline under the sun regarding notability and crystal balling." Most of the article is sourced to reliable sources and although not all the sources help establish notability of this particular topic (e.g., the citation for the producer of the previous album), many do. That said, the album has not been released, doesn't have a title and may never be released.

This article appears to fall under WP:SOAP and WP:NOR, as the author appears to be the creator of the project itself and the references section cites only the author's own unpublished documents. Simple Google searches for the subject reveal no significant third-party results. Although a commendable effort, I don't think the inclusion of this article in Wikipedia is warranted.

Merge somewhere. My suggestion would be to create a stub for East Thames Housing and put the encyclopaedic information there.

An article about a non-notable film whose only claim to fame is that it is Nicholas Clay's last film. Author was asked to provide reasons for notability after they removed a prod. Originally given twenty minutes before an AfD, that spread to two hours out of a wish to not bite the newbies. So far, only evidence of notability has been the above statement about Clay, as said in their edit summary here.

Tefillin campaign[edit]

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

Merge and Redirect this page to either Mitzvah Campaigns or the main Tefillin articles. This is a violation of WP:POVFORK and WP:NOTWEBHOST and it should not be allowed to function as an alternative for Chabad.org by the now obvious pro-Chabad editors for Chabad, because Wikipedia is not Chabad.org i.e. WP:NOTMYSPACE. These so-called Chabad "campaigns" were essentially PR and recruitment drives of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson to enlarge the Chabad movement's power and influence and such articles should be collected under the main topic of Mitzvah Campaigns each with brief sentences and short paragraphs summarizing them because they are not worthy of what will eventually become hundreds, if not thousands of such pro-Chabad articles that over-all function as obviously WP:POV-pushing for only one Jewish evangelic-type movement within Judaism that is highly controversial as it faces severe criticisms for Chabad messianism. Note: These type of "_____ campaign" articles should more accurately be called Chabad mitzvah campaigns since it is only that group that engages in this activity and it is no way representative of over-all Orthodox, Charedi, Chasidic Judaism or Judaism in general. A perusal of the main Mitzvah Campaigns article shows that it is about to become the springboard for infinite numbers of needless and often mindless articles, as has already happened with Public menorah now in an AfD, that would be shadows and nothing more in most cases of WP:POVFORKing of the main articles of all sorts of articles in Category:Jews and Judaism. IZAK (talk) 07:45, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find the nomination for this deletion and timing problematic for a few reasons. 1) In the nomination itself the nominator inserts his own personal view and commentary about the Chabad movement in what seems to be an effort to swing the public view for deletion. Specifically the nominator says: These so-called Chabad "campaigns" were essentially PR and recruitment drives of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson to enlarge the Chabad movement's power and influence (emphasis is mine). 2) The timing of this nomination: It was done during another AFD; Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Public_menorah which was created by the same editor as this article, and also seemed to be an effort to swing the public view to delete by creating panic that some editors want dominate WP with Chabad related articles. This is obvious as the current proposed article was created over two years ago and only now when the nom. got into a heated argument with the article creator and other editors (myself included) at the "menora Afd" did he decide to nominate this one also. The result of the "menorah Afd" was keep. It should be noted that shortly after this Tefillin campaign aticle was created, User:Chesdovi found it worthwhile to give User:Yehoishophot Oliver a Barnstar award for creating it. While the article is definitely missing third party sources right now, that can be fixed by tagging the article. The motive for nominating it for deletion seem an obvious result of the nominators conflict with other editors, and mainly his concern that there is an effort to dominate WP with Chabad articles. This should be dealt with by discussion, not by suggesting deletion, which is currently SIX articles of the same editor within only two days. Shlomke (talk) 03:03, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also find Izak's remarks very troubling and not appropriate for Wikipedia. Rather than discussing the article on its own merits, he seems to have embarked on a general campaign against Chabad, and any article related to that movement. Chabad has run a lot of different campaigns over the years, many if not all of which are notable in their own right, and there is no reason why there should not be WP articles about them. Whether this particular one is independently notable is a judgment call, but it seems to me that Izak is bothered by the mere fact that it's connected to Lubavitch. His accusation of POVFORK is ridiculous; there is no POV expressed in the article, and it's not a fork of anything. And his aspersions on the Lubavitcher Rebbe's motives are not only off-topic and inflammatory but also a tremendous chutzpah. -- Zsero (talk) 19:57, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Rewrite an encyclopedia"? Will you just listen to yourself? Wikipedia has how many articles? And how many of those are on Chabad-related topics? Chabad is a major sector of Orthodox Judaism, and it covers a lot of different notable topics, each of which is worthy of a separate article. Nobody is trying to rewrite the whole Wikipedia, or to take it over! -- Zsero (talk) 20:00, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
merge & redirect ad above. This is notable only as part of the more general Mitzvah campaign. Public menorah is a justifiable article by itself, but not this. BTW, though I think AfD may indeed be a good place to deal with disputed or disputable merges because of the visibility (i.e. I would not have been likely to see the talk p. of either article, but I do see whatever is brought here) -- it does not take AfD to do them. ` DGG ( talk ) 17:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Mitzvah campaigns with a "see also" under Tefillin, per nom. I also like IZAK's idea of changing Mitzvah Campaigns to Chabad mitzvah campaigns to make it more specific and identifiable. It is noteworthy that the Rebbe successfully used mitzvot as a kiruv tool, but Wikipedia shouldn't become a platform for side-by-side Chabad articles on every mitzvah.
