Malaysia–Uruguay relations[edit]

another random combination. neither country has a resident ambassador, in fact Uruguay decided to close its embassy. coverage is mainly multilateral not bilateral [1]. yes the Uruguayuan president visited in 2007, and the usual double taxation agreement but these alone are not enough for notable relations. the 2 countries played a Youth World Cup football match in 1997 and I know of at least 1 editor who thinks such info advances notability. clearly not.

Keep Gotta disagree with LibStar on this one. As unlikely as co-operation between these two nations would seem, the agreements worked out on the Uruguayan President's visit less than two years ago ([2] shows that they're strenghtening their relationship. I wouldn't have believed it-- Uruguay isn't even on the Pacific. But it goes beyond training together on UN Peacekeeping missions, and this ain't no random pairing. Mandsford (talk) 01:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

99% of state visits are about expanding cooperation with the usual diplomatic cliches like would significantly contribute towards expanding the scope of bilateral cooperation. The Leaders also exchanged views on regional and international issues Would like to see some third party coverage of this. If the relationship is so notable, why doesn't Uruguay reopen its embassy? LibStar (talk) 02:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - every meeting of this sort (except perhaps this one) ends in an airy promise to "strengthen bilateral cooperation", and besides, the source mentioning the meeting breaches WP:GNG (it's not independent). Show me multiple, independent sources actually discussing "Malaysia–Uruguay relations", and I'll gladly change my vote. - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:23, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no evidence that the relations are notable; handle as Foreign Relations of X. JJL (talk) 16:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A shared multilateral membership and the promise of strengthening relations (as all countries seem to strive for) doesn't make this pair of nations stand out from any other. No secondary coverage of the topic, thus, fails WP:GNG. BlueSquadronRaven 16:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As mentioned, there is little in the way of notable bilateral agreements, a closed embassy and the regular diplospeak about wanting to improve relations.

Keep Redirects are cheap, and this one is doing no harm. Some sources do list it with asterisks, and although yes, we're not censored, we also have to be sane and realize that the record company and radio stations censor themselves in turn. I see no need for a further RfD nomination either. Nate • (chatter) 00:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Kind of a silly redirect. Regardless of whether they're cheap or not, do we have to have a "clean" version of every possibly offensive article title?

- Reply — Four minutes, four days, for months or four years won't make a difference to a non-notable subject, unless the subject happens to become notable sometime after the article's created.

Yes, I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I couldn't help myself. This appears to be a web-based software library that isn't notable enough to have its own article.

Keep This software is very notable and had many reviews made about it. Just check its press page at http://portableapps.com/about/press/news and it shows all of the reviews that have been about it. If this software isn't notable then I don't know what is. How do scam companies like jamba get onto wikipedia but useful software like this is up for deletion. It is completely unfair on small, trustworthy companies. ZZZChris (talk) 19:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those seem to be about Portableapps itself, or the suite, not this software. The fact other stuff exists bares no relevance here. Portableapps still has a page, and it's survived an AFD, any information can be merged there, a separate page for this simply isn't necessary. Rehevkor ✉ 20:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, the references I mentioned above that I've added to the article are specifically about Portable Firefox and directly address your concerns of notability and primary sources which you stated when you nominated this article for deletion. Put simply, anything left (including a possible article merger) is an editorial issue that should be discussed on the relevant talk pages and is not something that should be dealt with via AfD. Both of these references were easily found via Google Books (although Make magazine is not available for preview, I do have a copy of that issue) and both could have been added instead of nominating this for AfD. --Tothwolf (talk) 21:33, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I removed the ad-sounding material (awards, honors). I also added many medical journal and medical article citations to an "additional references" section at the end. Dr. Palmer's book has sold over 300,000 copies since 2000 when it was first published; I've heard (though don't quote me on this) that selling more that 20K books per year qualifies the book to be considered a best-seller by the NYTimes.

- Please only !vote once. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think the claim that the article is "ad-sounding" is unsubstantiated. To be an ad means to be promoting a person, product or service overtly and knowingly, and thus to violate WP:NPOV. Ideally, you'd want a more critical review of the person, which would include critiques of work and/or criticism or controversy. However, I have scanned the Web thoroughly and haven't found any critiques of Palmer or her practice.

Also, to be advertising-sounding, IMHO, means that promotional language and weasel words would proliferate. However, this article doesn't include promotional words and phrases such as "best", "most influential", "one of the top", "bestselling", etc. The only real promotional-sounding phrase is "one of the largest medical practices". That statement probably needs either citation or removal. But other than that, I see no real reason for the AFD flag. Theinclusionist (talk) 18:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it obvious, that if there's no copyright label on the pics, the argument that Who then was a gentleman? raised is a non-issue? Anyways, that photo's all over the place on the Web - not just Google images. Whothencanbesaved (talk) 02:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually, no, that's not the way it works. Unless a page specifically says that it doesn't claim copyright, then we must assume that they are claiming copyright. And just because other sites violate copyright, doesn't mean that Wikipedia will. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 07:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- - So what you're saying is: that the pic is on nationally recognized online journals, e.g., the American Journal for Gastroenterology et al, means: these orgs. have used the pic illegally, violating Palmer's copyright? C'mon!

My only point is: I think we as editors should do some digging to find out the facts ourselves, before just marking something for deletion or citing a problem that is really a non-problem. We hold the writers to high fact-checking standards; why should we be exempt?

Given Emdee's comment, it's a moot point. However, "because some other language links to it" doesn't (IMO) make a page viable. Conversely, "page X:foo is covered in Y:foo1 and Y:foo2, which interwiki link should X:foo give?" is a good question, which is up to editors of X:foo to decide. Perhaps there's a more general page on the topic (i.e., not a simple translation or direct "other language equivalent"). DMacks (talk) 03:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong and immediate delete. The irresponsible argument that we should keep articles because it's in the German wikipedia's structure is harmful to us; there is no reason (until all possible material in the world is translated) that the interests should be the same. (If I were a German editor faced with this silly problem, I'd consider using two interwiki tags - had you thought of this? ). Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:55, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- We're not talking about an article, but a glorified disambiguation page. Otherwise there is no accurate interwiki for the German article, in the sense that neither of our articles can point back to it. This issue of interwiki creep, where meanings change as one follows links from one language to another, can only be avoided with pages such as this one. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:42, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Schade</irony> Interwiki creep can't be avoided at all. Languages do differ; not least in the ways they divide up the world. Learn to live with it; I have made the obvious suggestion on how to do so. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:47, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - The transitive closure of interwiki links should give the equivalence relation "covers the same topic". In cases like this, where the German project has one article and we have two, no interwiki links are appropriate without a disambig page. Your suggestion would lead to the result that our article on greatest common divisor is classified as covering the same topic as our article on least common multiple, after the transitive closure of the interwiki links is taken. That would be very unfortunate. The same problem would occur with interwiki links from our article Eigenvalue, eigenvector, and eigenspace to a project that has 3 separate articles. That other project needs to make a disambig page to be the target of our interwiki link. Given the near-zero cost of maintaining a disambig article, this is a small price to pay for collegiality between projects and usability of the interwiki links system. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - So what? We are not a translation of the German Wikipedia, nor they of us; and if they were, you'd get the same answer. Translation isn't transitive; it isn't even transitive if one translates from language L to M and back again; see invisible idiot. This is a pipedream, and harmful to Wikipedia. This vermiform appendix of an article is a small but real part of the problem. Delete now, unconditionally.
        There's no need to yell. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Any project which has a blank article to provide interwiki links for Eigenvalue, eigenvector, and eigenspace is run by imbeciles; the proper solution in such a case is to have three interwiki links in our article (if necessary, in a text paragraph explaining the situation). Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Having two interwiki links to the same language is technically possible, but both are labeled with the name of the language – not particularly usable. The fundamental assumption underlying interwiki links is that it is possible to determine when two articles in different languages cover the same topic, so complaining about difficulties with translation misses the point completely. Which is: if two articles cover the same topic, they should be linked to each other, otherwise they shouldn't. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Any project that does not like my little suggestion on how to handle the problem need not follow it. If the reverse situation came up, I should prefer to have multiple wikilinks.
        
        If that assumption is meant to sweep away the difficulties of translation, then it is ungrounded. If it is meant to impose the same list of topics on all wikipedias, as appears to be argued here, then it implies another set of would-be Masters of Wikipedia. In either case, weg damit.

Keep I have mentioned in this artile that it includes only those supertall skyscrapers, which are currently under construction, and there is reliable source(Emporis) about all these skyscraper, which confirms that they wilol be built.CTBUH have also the same list so plz check it before taking an action.However CTBUH have also mewntioned some of the proposed skyscrapers, but here is have created a separate list for proposed skyscrapers, and i dont think that it violates WP:CRYSTAL. Nabil rais2008 (talk) 10:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Even so, I don't think everything the CTBUH has on their website needs a Wikipedia article. I feel this hardly passes for Notability, although I'm not much of an expert on that. This might be a bit off topic, but lately you've been creating a lot of articles with loads of information gathered from the CTBUH site (see History of the tallest buildings in the world). --timsdad ^(talk) 10:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- But, even if all of these are built, how do you know that they will be the tallest buildings in 2020? There may well be other taller buildings built by 2020 that nobody has yet even thought about building (I'm sure it's quite possible for a supertall skyscraper to go from first proposal to completion in under ten years), and it's by no means certain that all of the buildings listed will be completed. At the very least, the article title is wrong, as it is very definitely crystal-balling to say that these will be the tallest buildings in 2020. We already have Proposed tall buildings and structures which is the best place for the information in this article, but without the rankings which are crystal-ballery. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If the information on CTBUH, which give us informative facts about skyscrapers then, its article must be created in Wikipedia.

I know that the list i have created is based on speculation, but CTBUH and some other sources suggest this point, that the current situation of Economic crises(which are not going to be stabilize until 2012-2014), no supertall skyscraper(taller than 600 meters) could be built until 2020, see this. and this.

The CTBUH also states that there could be other proposed buildings in coming years, but their status in currently unknown.

However, in my point of view we can change the titile of this article, as it violates WP Policy

Suppose the global economic crises lasts until 2014, then any supertall skyscraper was Approved for its construction which leads to its construction.Construction could begin in 2015, then how it will be completed before 2020 ?? it will take atleast 6-7 years to built(if its height will equivelant to Burj Dubai ot Greater)......

As Burj Dubai has taken almost 6 years but even it is not completed yet.

Because it can not be cross referenced as it is only one reference. Several different references are required for verification, otherwise anyone could simply publish something and that would make it an encyclopedic fact. Trevor Marron (talk) 22:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A hoax, why don't you research your subjects instead of making unsubstantianted and spurious allegations? The plane is real and the article is correct.

It is not up to me to find anything, the onus on providing verifiable references is on the writer of the article. And if I had considered it a hoax I would have CSDed it as such. If you have references then add them, but even with all the references you add it will still be a one-off prototype not worthy of it's own article. Not now, not ever.

The entries by Sheikh your-Bouti and Adminchium are factual and contain correct sources for both sides, not a weak "blame the victim" argument with biased defamatory/slanderous opinion.

Keep. It might not be obvious from the article but the subject has a clear claim to notability under WP:ATHLETE as a polo player and club president, having captained a national team and had loads of coverage in reliable sources of his club-presidential role. Most of the discussion above looks like content issues, rather than anything related to keeping or deletion of the article, which should be dealt with on the talk page or via the multifarious dispute resolution procedures that we have (do we have a procedure for resolving differences about which procedure should be used to resolve a difference?). I'm not an expert on Arabic naming conventions, but I get the idea that "bin" means "son of", so two "bins" mean "son of and grandson of", meaning that many references to a person's name won't go that far up the family tree.

Keep Nominator is claiming "one event" status on an article about an individual (1) born into a Royal family; (2) national level athelete; and (3) also the subject of a high-profile lawsuit. This is at least a three event article. So I voice a keep opinion, and call for deprecation of the frequently misused BLP1E clause of BLP. Geo Swan (talk) 21:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: No one knew he was an athlete because it wasn't (and isn't) in the article. As Phil mentioned, the layered surnames make a Google search ineffective (I did Google the name that is the subject of the article.).. and before I trimmed the article back, it was an attack piece - scorning the subject and the entire Royal family. Even now, the article is not a balanced biography of the subject. Given the new information, this subject does appear to be notable enough for an article, but as it currently stands, this article isn't it.. --Versa geek 00:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That an article is not a "balanced biography of the subject" -- by this I assume you mean it is missing typical biographical elements, like where he studied, and other events from his early life? I suggest the absence of these details should not be considered a reason for deletion. Geo Swan (talk) 13:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Born as part of a royal family. So what? Athlete part may carry weight. Lawsuit? Not notable. You should assume a bit better faith on my part as the nominator rather that essentially saying that this is "misuse". That the article on a living person is horribly unbalanced is a problem for Wikipedia, it has nothing to do with biographical details. WP:UNDUE, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP, WP:BATTLEGROUND and about eight more acronyms I could toss out there as to why this article is unencyclopedia in nature, tone, and content. Keegan (talk) 14:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to assume you are a good faith contributor.
I never said the article didn't have problems. But I don't think policy dictates that deletion is the appropriate solution for problems of balance or neutrality.
Is being a member of a royal family sufficient, all by itself, to justify an article? How many living members of the British Royal Family do we have articles about? My recollection is that of the first forty or fifty royals on the list of heirs over half have articles. And of the second fifty more than a dozen have articles. Presumably the ones who have no articles are utterly without any other notability. Being a royal doesn't establish enough notability all by itself. But I see it as cumulative. So, should we give precedence to the British Royal family, simply because this is the English wikipedia? I don't think so.
I stand by my assertion that BLP1E is routinely misapplied. A couple of years ago one wiseguy suggested that the Tony Blair article should be merged in the George W. Bush article, on BLP1E grounds, because no one would ever have heard of him if he hadn't supported the Bush war policy. His point, I believe, was that contrary to what many people believe, there is no meaningful objective measure for what should be considered notable, and what should be considered multiple events, as opposed to a single event. Geo Swan (talk) 23:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The sports links seem just about enough that WP:BLP1E doesn't apply. Nonetheless the WP:UNDUE problems remain, since he seems relatively obscure for anything other than the lawsuit; even the sports links lack detail at the moment, and that probably won't change. Rd232 ^talk 15:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Merely being a member of the royal family doesn't necessarily translate into notability. Just because someone comes from the same gene pool as a monarch doesn't mean much at all - unless said relationship carries with it duties, responsibilities, actions, etc. that are notable. Since there's nothing in the article about his royal pedigree that's more important than the fact that there's a good chance he has the same blood type as the President of the UAE, it doesn't warrant an article. The material about the lawsuit is also not notable (otherwise we'd have millions of articles) and I don't see any notability in his roles in sports associations. -shirulashem^(talk) 19:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Outline of Palestine[edit]

This article is apparently modeled after the various "Outline of <Country>" articles. However, it does not actually deal with any specific country. Instead, it is a hodgepodge if information about Palestine (the historical geographic region), the Palestinian National Authority, the State of Palestine, the Palestinian territories, and possibly a few others. It is important to stress that none of these entities is widely considered to be a country (although some of them have some country-like characteristics), and anyway, the fact that the article doesn't even attempt to focus on one of them makes it confusing and unhelpful. The opening paragraphs attempt to handle this problem by providing an overview of the Palestine-related terms mentioned above. However, this is completely redundant given that we already have Palestine (disambiguation) and Definitions of Palestine and Palestinian. I propose either deleting this page (preferred), or renaming it (and modifying its content drastically) to apply to just one of the entities mentioned above (Palestine excluded). -- uriber (talk) 19:41, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I discovered this article about a week ago. I agree it needs more work, but that is not a reason for deletion. Whatever what thinks about the State of Palestine, it is an entity recognized by the United Nations and over 100 countries.

Keep The US has diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority. The Congressional Research Service reports the US has spent over 4 billion in aid on the West Bank and Gaza since 1993 harlan (talk) 04:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And how are these facts relevant to this discussion? -- uriber (talk) 05:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment that this outline isn't about any specific country is incorrect. The State of Palestine is an established person of international law. Most countries today have a policy of only recognizing states or countries. They no longer recognize governments at all. see [8] Over 100 countries have legally recognized the State of Palestine. They don't question the conflicting or overlapping legal roles of the PNC, PLO and PNA - and there is no legal requirement for them to do so. They simply carry on business with the local governing bodies of the Palestinian Authority.

The United States legally recognized the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a country in 1997 at the request of the Palestinian Authority. At that time it asked the public to take notice of that fact through announcements it placed in the Federal Register.[9] Many US government agencies, such as USAID West Bank/Gaza, have been tasked with projects in the areas of democracy, governance, resources, and infrastructure. Part of the USAID mission is to "provide flexible and discrete support for implementation of the Quartet Road Map".[10] The Road Map is a internationally backed plan which calls for the progressive development of a viable Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza as the second phase of a three-part final settlement.[11] The EU has announced similar external relations programs with the Palestinian Authority which envision it as a Palestinian state.[12]

The Palestinian Authority has asserted its jurisdiction as a legal state on several occasions already.[13] Many countries recognize the sovereignty of the State of Palestine over the natural resources of its territories. Under international law, Hague IV, sovereignty is not effected by occupation of territory. See for example: [14] The Israeli Supreme Court has acknowledged that Israel's rights as an occupying power are limited to usufruct.[15] In any event Israel announced it was going to withdraw from Gaza and it claims that it no longer occupies that part of the territory. Some states have entered into bilateral diplomatic and trade agreements on the basis of that understanding. In at least one case, the Palestinian Authority signed an agreement with Egypt to construct a pipeline from a gas field on the Gaza coast to El Arish. The PA signed an oil and gas lease with a British-owned company, BG, to develop that offshore field.[16] Egypt and the Arab League countries recognize the State of Palestine. Great Britain has a longstanding diplomatic practice of granting retroactive de jure recognition to other states in order to establish the legal basis for claims filed on behalf of British-owned companies.[17] [18] harlan (talk) 20:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Surely the whole point of this article is that it helps readers navigate around the various definitions of Palestine, so it is actually part of the solution to the problem presented by the nominator, rather than part of the problem. Yes, to answer No More Mr Nice Guy, it's true that this is relevant to Israel, because there is plenty of overlap between the territories described as "Israel" and "Palestine" both historically and in present claims, so I'll make the effort to work out how to list this as an Israel-related discussion. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's surely not the whole point of this article. Other "Outline of" articles serve as a list of links about a specific, well-defined entity (e.g. Outline_of_Bulgaria), and do not deal with differing meanings of the term. If this article would be about various definitions, it should not include things like a flag (calling it "Flag of Palestine", where that only applies to a specific "definition" of the term (and hardly the most common one). -- uriber (talk) 09:51, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, harlan's comments above (and perhaps Tiamut's too) indicate that they, unlike you, view this article as being specifically about the State of Palestine, rather than the other entities I listed. The fact that different editors have radically different perceptions regarding what this article is actually about means that this has little or no chance to become a coherent or useful article int he long run (at least under its current name). -- uriber (talk) 09:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)\[reply]

Since you mentioned my name and ascribed a position to me, I should perhaps explain: I do not view this article as being solely about the State of Palestine. I thought that the Outline of ... articles (based on your explanation in the nom) were restricted to states and was willing to narrow the scope of the article if that were indeed the case. However, given the examples of other Outline articles listed by other editors here which cover a vast array of subjects, its not necessary to confine Outline of Palestine to discussion only of the State. I am very glad for this since my original intent when I discovered the article was to provide liks to all relevant articles dealing with Palestine, both as a state and a region, with a history and people. I'm sad to see that you are not withdrawing your nomination in light of the overwhelmingly negative response to it thus far and in light of the fact that your nom argument is inaccurate given that Outline of articles can in fact deal with subjects other than states. Tiamut^talk 10:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I never said "outline" articles were restricted to states. I just said that the structure of this specific article was modeled after outline articles concerning states. Palestine is not "both a state and a region". You might as well say it's "a state, a region, and a city in Texas". In fact, these are totally different entities which happen to be called by a similar name. When we have an ambiguous term, it makes sense to have one disambiguation page, and then other pages that deal with each of its meanings. You wouldn't include information about Palestine, Texas here, would you? Just as an example of the confusion that might arise: what exactly is the flag displayed on the top-right corner? Certainly it's not the flag of Palestine (the region), but a naive user will naturally assume it is from just a glance at this article. -- uriber (talk) 16:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the issue as being as clearly different as you do, and neither do many of the sources. The region of Palestine was home to the Arab people who today identify as Palestinian people long before the creation (or non-creation) of the State of Palestine. I agree that the flag should not be at the top of the page if the article is going to cover all aspects of Palestine but I don't share your belief that Palestine and the State of Palestine are as different as Palestine and Palestine, Texas. That's a comparison too far for me at least.

Anyway, all this can be discussed on the article talk page, where it should have been discussed in the first place. Given the emerging consensus here regarding the appropriateness of the existence of the page, would you like to withdraw your nomination? Tiamut^talk 17:02, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since I still believe that this article, under this name, has no place on Wikipedia, I'm not withdrawing the nomination, although I sadly acknowledge that it has no chance of passing, much due to people reacting semi-automatically to different concerns than those I have raised. -- uriber (talk) 21:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Personal feelings on the existence of the state of Palestine are irrelevant here, it is a state recognized by a number of countries. And my understanding of the Outline articles is that they are redundant to the articles covered and provide an outline of those topics with links to the main articles. nableezy - 21:19, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - legitimate list of links and summary. This is not an endorsement of sovereignity or independence. Bearian (talk) 21:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seems in keeping with other topical outlines; regardless of what the status of Palestine is, it's certainly a topic like Outline_of_industrial_organization and Outline of Africa. Last I checked Industrial Organizations hadn't achieved independence yet either. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - outlines are being constructed for political divisions of all types. We have them for sovereign states, dependencies, federal states (such as the U.S. States), provinces, etc. Palestine is identified in the outline as a " state with limited recognition". Outlines are also being constructed for any subject that has enough articles about it to justify an outline. See Outline of sharks and Outline of anarchism for a couple examples. There are a lot of articles about Palestine and its people on Wikipedia. Outline of Palestine is a "structured list" of them. See WP:LISTS and WP:OOK.

Jess Cates[edit]

Jess hates written a handful of notable songs, and won an ASCAP award which is a dime a dozen or worse ("among the most performed" usually means "it charted for more than an eyeblink"). I can't find a single source that gives any form of biographical information. Every single hit on Google/Books/News/etc. is only "This song was written by Jess Cates and [insert writer here]". Simply writing notable songs DOES NOT make you inherently notable if nobody has even mentioned you more than trivially, not even if ASCAP did give you an award, don't try to tell me otherwise. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 15:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. [Delete. See comment below] WP:COMPOSER provides notability if she "[h]as credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition" or "[h]as written a song or composition which has won (or in some cases been given a second or other place) in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers." I'm not so sure as you that her ASCAP Award isn't "a major music competition," but we needn't resolve that question to decide this nomination because the other prong provides notability. Several of the songs that (the article claims) she was "credit[ed] for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for" are notable enough to presently have an article at Wikipedia, including Crush (David Archuleta song) and What's Left of Me (song). There may be more, but it's too nauseating an experience to slog through this material unnecessarily, and, given WP:COMPOSER's use of the singular article ("a notable composition"), two should suffice. What we're left with, it seems to me, is notability, and some content issues to be resolved by WP:SOFIXIT.- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 20:34, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- TexasAndroid (talk) 02:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see the problem. Well, this is a pickle. Most of the notability guidelines premise notability on secondary sources, so, in the mine run of cases, if an article's subject is notable then there will inherently be reliable sources on which to drill for content. Some notability guidelines, however, afford notability on primary sources alone. WP:COMPOSER is one of them. That presents a content problem: a subject may be notable, yet there may be little that can be said about them that is verifiable beyond a recitation of the primary sources that make them notable within the limits of WP:PRIMARY. And that, in turn, may transgress WP:NOTDIRECTORY, among other things.

WP:DEL#REASON doesn't restrict the office of AFD to notability problems, so merely establishing notability doesn't save the article; content problems are within our remit here. Candidates for deletion include "[a]rticles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources" and those "for which all attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed." WP:RS says that "articles should be based on reliable secondary sources ... [and] while primary or tertiary sources can be used to support specific statements, the bulk of the article should rely on secondary sources." Cf. WP:PSTS ("articles should rely mainly on published reliable secondary sources"). These policies don't rule out the use of primary sources, and the Cates article can "be attributed to reliable [primary] sources." But they do suggest that an article cannot only rest on primary sources, as Cates' does. With that in mind, we could read WP:DEL#REASON to slip the noose around any article for which all attempts to find at least some reliable secondary sources have failed.

If this article were of more recent coinage, I would suggest that it could be left a while to see what happens. Cf. my remarks at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Juliet Davis. But a year is more than enough time for sources to be added if they are out there to be found. Given that, and given all the concerns noted above, and given my subscription to m:Deletionism, I am changing my vote to delete. But other editors - those who aren't deletionists - should think carefully about whether they are willing to delete an article about a notable subject on the grounds that it rests only on primary sources, which appear to be the only grounds for deletion.- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 15:58, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hoping other editors read this response carefully. It makes a very, VERY good point about WP:MUSIC and WP:COMPOSER not being set in stone. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 20:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a number of sources just now, so the article no longer rests on primary sources alone. When there are multiple brief mentions of him having written notable songs, that's sufficiently significant coverage for an article. Also, I don't buy the "notability is not inherited" argument in cases like these (as has been made at similar AfDs in the past)—I would if the only notability was that the composer had written songs for one and only one artist, in which case any verifiable info could be merged into the article about the other artist. But here, this songwriter is prolific and has written for dozens of notable artists. WP:COMPOSER says we ought to have an article about such a songwriter. If that means the article is mostly a list of their compositions, that's fine for the time being; it's better than deletion in these cases, in my view. Keep. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:04, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. (Circle gets the square. Now I'll take Wally Cox for the win.) The sources give us no biographical information beyond telling us that Jess wrote these songs. There are thousands of songwriters who get hundreds of cuts yet still get no non-trivial mentions at all. All this article does is say "Jess Cates wrote hundreds of songs, including X which was a hit for Y, Z which was a hit for A, ad nauseam." Do you really think that's enough? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 16:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean to sound as if I was dismissing your point of view, as I do see the validity of your argument, though we might disagree. That Mr. Cates is mentioned by name in Billboard and in multiple newspapers when those publications discuss his songs and collaborations is an indicator of his notability. (Those publications don't routinely mention songwriters by name in such articles, so my best guess is that it is because of how prolific he is.) It's an indicator, from third-party editorial decisions, that readers may be interested in a short stub with a list of his songs, even if there is not enough sourcing for an FA-quality article. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 14:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, notability isn't the issue. WP:COMPOSER clearly supplies Cates with notability based on verifiable primary sources. The problem is one of content: whether there is sufficient information available about Cates in secondary sources on which to rest the content of an encyclopædic article about him (an article that merely lists the songwriting contributions that provide his notability gets us into WP:NOTDIRECTORY problems). - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 15:13, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, let me put this another way. Any system of rules - Wikipedia policy, antitrust law, the U.S. Constitution, etc. - has gaps and holes through which particular issues can fall. In this instance, Cates falls into a gap between various policies: applicable Wikipedia policies (WP:COMPOSER, WP:RS, WP:PSTS, WP:PRIMARY, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and WP:DEL#REASON) pull in different directions leaving a hole. That's where user discretion comes in, and with it philosophies about construction (as distinct from interpretation). Virtually all wikipedians, I think, would say that when a situation reveals a gap between WP policies, policy ought to be construed in a way resolving the situation in a manner consistent with the five pillars. But that doesn't supply a rule of decision, because the five pillars are underdeterminate in application, see Lawrence Solum, On the Indeterminacy Crisis: Critiquing Critical Dogma, 54 U. Chi. L. Rev. 462, 473-4 (1987) (distinguishing determinacy, indeterminacy, and underdeterminacy), and users understand them in different ways (deletionists, exclusionists, etc.). Because we can't find usable secondary sources, we're left with a question of user discretion as to how to understand applicable policy and thus what to do with the article. I took the deletionist position above. The thrust of the applicable policies suggests deletion in these circumstances, and deletion of dubious content also serves the five pillars, bringing that construction of policy into harmony with the five pillars). Paul takes the inclusionist position: "If that means the article is mostly a list of their compositions, that's fine for the time being; it's better than deletion in these cases...." Either is justifiable. I offer these observations, as before, to try to help guide other users, because I think these thought processes happen whether expressed or not. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 15:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that very helpful elaboration, Simon. One of the suggestions I would have for editing the article, to help reduce the problem of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, is to dig into the many reviews of Cates's many songs and look for those that comment on the actual writing. Here's a start of what I have in mind. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 16:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The discussion (particularly Simon Dodd's, which is well-thought-out but off target) boils down to whether an article about a notable person should be deleted because it has proven difficult to write more than a stub article about the subject based on commonly available sources. I don't know of any Wikipedia policy or guideline calling for deletion of such articles. If the laundry list of songs is deleted, the article is still more informational and better sourced than the great majority of the porn performer articles that I've suffered my way through doing BLP cleanups, and the ASCAP award much more substantial than the awards used to demonstrate notability for such performers. And there are other things out there that can be used to further expand the article. [19] Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I note that there is plenty of pseudophilosophical discussion above, but I don't see what any of it has to do with writing an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia article about a songwriter doesn't need to do any more than write about the subject's songwriting. That's the most important information about the subject and the information that encyclopedias since time immemorial have written about people with a particular speciality. Any information about the subject's favourite colour or pet dog's name or inside leg measurement is a bonus - the lack of those facts doesn't mean that we shouldn't have an article.

  - Indiantelevision.com is ok as a source.

Unless it can be proved that they don't check facts, they qualify as a reliable source (being incestuous media capitalists notwithstanding). Their article on Gomolo.in is a lot more informative than many trade articles, and the Gomolo.in survey is useful information if one is in a related media business [26]. I'm guessing that other Mumbai trade media have covered Gomolo.in, but it might not be online.

Delete. No demonstrated notability or reliability. We have a very, very, very low threshold here -- that some other reliable/authoritative websites reference this one -- but it fails that very low threshold. Perhaps in the coming years or months that will change and an article created then, but it fails now. 2005 (talk) 21:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It helps to actually search before drawing conclusions. I've vetted three reliable sources that each covered somewhat different details of the Gomolo.in's June 2009 Movie Viewing Behaviour survey research:

TV leads Internet and newspapers in attracting movie goers: Gomolo.in report Indiantelevision.com (RS web publisher described above.)
TV trailers drag youth most to a movie: Survey The Hindu News Update Service (RS major newspaper.)
TV leads Internet and newspapers in attracting movie goers: Gomolo.in report. MassCoMedia News Details (Mass communications school partnered with Deakin University = RS)

While all three sources covered the same story, it's not a trivial story if one is in a related media business, and many people are. Those media percentage numbers are difficult for small businesses to get for free, and they are always changing.

The AfD issue is notability, and here are multiple, non-trivial WP:RS mentions of Gomolo.in. The survey story itself can be covered in a separate article section.

With "about themselves" info being WP:V/WP:RS ok, use Gomolo.in - About us and Ravisa.in - parent site as references for the company (Ravisa Infomedia) and its product web site (Gomolo.in, the movie info database). Some other reliable source details about the business are also likely to be available from the web. Altogether, this should be a small but satisfactory article. Milo 10:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your careful considerations, refreshing at AfDs.

WP:GNG: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."

WP:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Primary_criteria (WP:GROUP): "...trivial coverage; such as ... meeting times ... extended shopping hours, ... telephone numbers, addresses, and directions..."; "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability."; "Evidence of attention by ... national ... media is a strong indication of notability."

Indiantelevision.com contains statements about Gomolo.in's business strategy in the quotation beginning: "A key factor of this exercise was to gain proprietary intellect..., as well as two statements appearing in two independent sources noted below.

MassCoMedia does not contain a unique statement about Gomolo.in, but it seems to qualify as nontrivial, though not substantial: "...Gomolo.in CEO Pritam Roy."; "...Gomolo.in, a social networking portal dedicated to movie enthusiasts."

The Hindu's nontrivial, though not substantial coverage about Gomolo.in reads, "...Gomolo.in Chief Executive Officer Pritam Roy..."; "...Gomolo.in, a movie-related portal which provides information in three languages..." The "three languages" info does not appear elsewhere in multiple independent sources found so far. The Hindu is "India's National Newspaper".

Accordingly, Gomolo.in seems to meet the threshold requirements for notability by nontrivial, multiple independent sources including national coverage. Milo 21:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you're misunderstanding the guidelines. Like I said, neither of those last two sources are about Gomolo, and the only "coverage" in those sources is an offhand appositive or two, not true nontrivial coverage. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"neither of those last two sources are about Gomolo" I addressed that issue with a quote from WP:GNG: "Significant coverage ... need not be the main topic of the source material." The sources need not be about Gomolo – only their contained coverage.

"offhand appositive" Typical of compressed news coverage, an appositive is a grammatical construction, used "...to produce shorter descriptive phrases", particularly by eliminating verbs of being such as "is". Appositives are journalistically-valid statements of fact.

In any case, grammatical structures are containers irrelevant to the content they hold. Content is WP coverage as long as "no original research is needed to extract the content" per WP:GNG.

"not true nontrivial coverage" To prove this claim, you will need to cite evidence that these appositely-stated facts about Gomolo.in,

"...Gomolo.in, a social networking portal dedicated to movie enthusiasts."
"...Gomolo.in Chief Executive Officer Pritam Roy..."
"...Gomolo.in, a movie-related portal which provides information in three languages..."

are somehow equivalently as trivial as

WP:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Primary_criteria's examples of trivial coverage:

"meeting times"
"extended shopping hours"
"telephone numbers"
"addresses"
"directions"

Where is your evidence for such equivalency? Milo 01:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While the utility of the site isn't in question, the notability is, and it clearly fails at this point. No prejudice to recreation when it becomes notable. -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 07:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"notability ... clearly fails" I've shown above with detailed guide citations, that Gomolo.in just exceeds the notability threshold. Since you apparently don't accept the WP:GROUP consensus guide for notability now, why would you accept it in the future? Milo 08:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above are clear examples of Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 14:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clearly fails [{WP:N]] and WP:WEB. WP:GROUP has nothign to do with this topic, nor does it meet that either. This is an unnotable website that frankly appears to be on a campaign to gain notability by appearing in Wikipedia, rather than appearing in Wikipedia because it is notable. The three little links above, all regurgitation of a press release about a survey the site did, does not meet any requirement for notability. Guidelines are very clear that one can not make itself notable just by releasing a lot of press releases. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 13:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"WP:GROUP has nothing to do with this topic" Gomolo.in is reported to have a CEO and a business strategy,[30] which makes it a WP:GROUP for that category of notability.

"press releases" Nearly all business news originates from regurgitated press releases, but notability can't be determined from an unedited release. By comparing them, the texts of all three links have been rewritten and edited from the original press release. Once the press release has been rewritten, it becomes a valid secondary source for notability, since it has been processed by a reliable source editor.

"does not meet any requirement for notability" I carefully applied the guiderules – they are little links that meet all the tests. Gomolo.in just exceeds the required threshold, which I've thoroughly documented above. Milo 21:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:WEB. Article was speedied deleted twice^[31] under WP:CSD#A7 and twice previously failed to meet Wikipedias inclusion guidelines. Article currently has 2 sources; ravisa.in (owns Gomolo.in) and a link containing trivial coverage. Neither are sufficient to establish notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - as such many articles do not belong here.--Hu12 (talk) 04:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Old and irrelevant information. You also state an unconsensed personal opinion as though it were a fact.

The non-self-owned link currently in the article (Indiantelevision.com) has nontrivial but not quite substantial coverage, so by itself it's insufficient for WP:GROUP notability. However, multiple sources that are nontrivial yet not substantial, do pass the notability threshold (see WP:GROUP quote in Milo 21:08).

I found two more nontrivial sources and posted them above. One of them is a national newspaper – a "strong indication of notability" per WP:GROUP (see Milo (21:08). For notability, who notes is more important than what is noted.

Your apparent claim that Indiantelevision.com's coverage is trivial, is a personal opinion (WP:IDONTLIKEIT) not supported by the WP:GROUP consensed guide. According to WP:GROUP's examples, trivial coverage is simple data like phone numbers and addresses. All three of the links contain statements of fact about the subject (posted above) which are not alike-type to the trivial coverage examples of data (see Milo 01:28).

Your last sentence is generalized puffery. Here's my counter-puffery: Significant failure to accept consensed project guidelines indicates a lack of commitment to both the principle of consensus and the policy of WP:CONSENSUS. Persons who do not accept consensus are outsiders not welcome to edit the Wikipedia project. Milo 09:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'll admit I'm a deletionist. I believe that a subject on Wikipedia must be notable before the article is created, and not to create it and then let it develop its notability. It doesn't work that way here. It fails notability standards because it has a feel of being just another one of the thousands of these hybrid system startups (taking something like IMDB and combining it with Facebook.) Why create a Wikipedia article ASAP? Let the business grow and become notable, and THEN come back and create the article. Groink (talk) 03:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems more like a desire for orderly growth rather than deletionism (but I'll describe how it might make you an "inflationist"). It would somewhat challenge the concept of WP:Eventualism by requiring a threshold of creating referenced stubs.

In the present WP unreferenced stub model, deleting articles that ripen to notability after creation hurts third parties. In this case Jayantanth, apparently in good faith, created this article 1 December 2008 about a fairly new business. That business achieved threshold notability per the WP:GROUP guide (see above) June 9-14, 2009.

Deleting it now because it was created too early punishes Gomolo.in, and does not punish the article creator. This unfair practice would open the door to established businesses quickly creating articles (through throwaway paid accounts) in order to tarnish new competitors at WP – which would inflate prices a little for everyone.

Comment. I would invite Drawn Some to learn a bit of basic logic. "Notability certainly has NOT been demonstrated" does not imply "this person is non-notable and the article should be deleted": it means that that the subject may or may not be notable, but it has not yet been demonstrated which. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Um, I can evaluate Chinese language sources, if someone shows them to me. I am not going out of my way looking for them, though, because I have other things to do too, and I'm not going to break my back over this when removing this entry would not really hurt the encyclopedia (if it's 'wrongly' deleted, it could always be re-written as a proper article by someone else later). The problem is that the article creator has not even given a starting point on where to find such sources; all that's really available is Zhang's own CV (sort of), not any external articles or sources. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 23:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to give out more VC information and some external links, but, as he is a living person, there are no other people's work which can show you how important he is. And because his works are all in chinese, there are no English comments which can show you how important his works are.

Personally, I don't know who he is, and I don't really care either. But since you pointed that out, I would just want to remind you that while he might be important, but this is English (EN) Wikipedia and that's why we need English Refs. Maybe you should start by starting an article in Chinese (CN) Wiki first. Just a suggestion. TheAsianGURU (talk) 21:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We don't necessarily need English refs. If anyone can find Chinese articles "which can show how important his works are", they would be usable. But without such references this discussion is moot. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good Point. Rjanag is right, we don't need EN Refs, but I don't even seen a Chinese (CN) Wikipedia article for him and it really puts a damper on any action of saving this article. TheAsianGURU (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, it's easy to creat a Wiki China article for anybody, but it may be meaningless, because people in China do not need to turn to Wiki China to find who somebody is, and maybe people out China do not either. Second, it's also easy to find Chinese references to make sure that he is notable, please give me some time to find more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iyawon (talk • contribs) 07:30, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (or merge with the author article). I was the first contributor of the article ( so called 'creator' but in fact it was just few lines about it ). DreamGuy tagged it for advertisement first ( see history ) and the link from Simon Tatham self article was removed also. This sub-article was made to help readers not for spamming. "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. It is part of Unix and Debian [32]... "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability... just use your favorite search engine ... Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. It is popular on many platforms....I'm am not linked to the author... some others say it is a genius ^^. I just think about subculture and i mean little articles like this about (minor) things is what could make wikipedia stronger but if you want just throw it away!

Delete unless external references can be found. I'm a puzzle guy and a programmer and I've never heard of it (not alone a reason, I know). It appears to be a good collection but not groundbreaking. I also question Simon Tatham's article. If every programmer who released open source software had a page on Wikipedia, we'd have millions of programmer pages. What makes him notable? Not being a Unix or Linux user, I've never heard of Tatham's Netwide Assembler. Is it really widely known?

What I'd like to see is that this information be incorporated piecemeal into the volume summaries of List of Bokurano chapters, but not only doesn't that list exist yet, there isn't enough information in the main article to spin out into one -- as there is hardly any manga publication information at all. Which makes that a no-go. As a list of fictional objects, I can't say the notability of the set has been well-established: I've yet to see critical commentary on the robots in themselves (or even forum posts geeking out about them), only about the characters. Contra the nominator, however, they do not mean "nothing" to the story, as each pilot needs to figure out how to deal with the robot he/she battles, which as often as not requires come cleverness on their part. So: merge back into the Bokurano, where yes they will be a bit lumpy, but as demonstrated by the lack of manga information, this is not exactly a high quality article in the first place. (I fully expect that, once the licensed manga starts being published in North America, article development will head in the right direction.) —Quasirandom (talk) 02:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Also, add the last couple robots, so we have all sixteen.) Yes, this makes the article a bit lumpy with plot, but the main article is rated Start Class for a reason, so it won't badly damage it there. Eventually, when List of Bokurano: Ours chapters has volume summaries, the list will be redundant and can be removed, but until that day, it should be preserved per policy. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can gather of the list, these are "monsters of the day" that usually don't have an impact on the story beyond being something for the protagonists to overcome or defeat. This is always treated better in a chapter or episode list. --Farix (Talk) 22:13, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Not quite monsters of the day: the robots in all are, as a sum, the primary antagonists, and the main storyline is how each of the fifteen pilots battles a different robot. That said, I agree they are better handled as part of a comprehensive summary of the series rather than split out. My problem is, the article suite has not developed enough to have such a comprehensive summary where this material readily fits in. And yes, I am trying to follow policy and preserve information that will ulitmately be needed in a different form. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:49, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't imagine anyone would have objected if you had quietly merged the content into Wick and left a redirect behind, but since this has come up at AfD other editors have become interested in it. It is unique, of course, but there's also something delightfully improbable about the image of a Highlands official stubbornly demanding that this 6 foot stretch be treated as a distinct street.

Contested PROD. Footballer fails WP:ATHLETE as he has yet to play in a fully-professional competition, being in a squad/roster doesn't satisfy the criteria.

Keep player just signed with a fully pro team about a month ago and is on the team's official 1st team roster. Thus, he is very likely to meet ATHLETE in the near future. To delete now and recreate when he plays his first game would be pointless process at this point. Furthermore, failing to meet ATHLETE is not an automatic disqualifier - an athlete can still be notable if they meet the GNG which this player does. This college career was well covered: [51]. And actually it appears he made his pro debut yesterday, albeit in an exhibition game. [52] This should show he will be playing for the Seattle Sounders this season. Again it would just be pointless process to delete and then recreate in a week when he plays his first regular season game, even if one denies the GNG qualification. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:33, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment exhibition games are exactly that and not competitive. Saying he's likely to play is crystal balling, should he make his debut in a competitive competition, admins can easily recreate the article to it's original state. A Google search doesn't mean anything unless the sources can be proved reliable and relevant. --Jimbo^[online] 17:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, but common sense says he is going to play in a regular season pro game very shortly. It is completely pointless to delete and recreate in a week. By your logic we should delete all 256 players here, all 60 players here, the 40+ players here that have pages so far, and most the 60 players here since none have yet played a pro game. We shouldn't be blind slaves to ATHLETE, CRYSTAL, (neither of which say always delete articles that fail it, BTW), or any other guideline, but instead apply common sense. Sometimes amateur athletes are notable and sometime future events can be taken into account. As a general rule, amateurs and future events are non-notable but the guidelines as written allow for exceptions and people need to remember that and not just say "fails ATHLETE = auto-delete." --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - A lot of the players on that MLS draft list are black links, if a player sufficiently passes WP:GNG then they are notable. There is only one secondary source, which is hardly in depth and enough to pass GNG. The article can easily be recreated by an admin, so there's no issue there. --Jimbo^[online] 19:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - That only means that no one has created a page yet. Additionally, we don't delete pages because they don't currently use two RS - if we did ~50% of the encyclopedia would be gone. The source I listed above is clearly about the player ("Memorable debut for Federal Way's Neagle") rather than the team which means we are already at two sources about him from that one and the one in the article already. There are several other sources specifically about him available (for example, "Neagle's progress lifts soccer squad") - the fact they aren't in the article doesn't mean they are invalid. Finally, it might be "no big deal" recreate the article in a week, but that doesn't mean it is productive to delete it either. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Can be recreate when/if he plays professionally. This is a clear case of crystal balling.

Keep WP:ATHLETE is not policy, and we can choose to ignore it from time to time. I choose to ignore it in this case--the argument "He's bound to play pretty soon" and "that's a crystal ball" and "we can deleted it then recreate it if we need to" just seems like the kind of song-and-dance routine that happens from time to time. I don't dance. Plus, a quick google search gives me a lot of references to make me think that his amateur career has warrented more than enough coverage to keep this article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure why this article has been flagged for deletion but all the information is legitimate. All of this information can be found on Seattle Sounders FC's official website. If a professional athlete's team website isn't a reliable source then what is??

Lithuania–Serbia relations[edit]

neither country has a resident embassy, and yes they have 3 minor agreements (including the usual double taxation one). distinct lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations, almost all is sport or multilateral [54]. Serbia played Lithuania in a football match in 2008, and I know of at least 1 editor who thinks this should be included because it adds to notability, clearly not. LibStar (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Double taxation agreements seem to be pretty common (and non-notable since they are less about "relations" and more about saving money). No embassies. Nothing that appears to be actually notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment LibStar, your deletion nominations come across as formulaic, & hurt your argument beyond the usual deletionists.

Then wait for them to do so, & then respond, instead of making a caustic comment as you have. If no one opposes the deletion (as your comment implies you expect), you end up looking foolish; if someone does, & brings up the objections you expect, they may just be trolling you.

Gravity Mill[edit]

It's just a bunch of garbage somebody simply made up and then stuffed into the wikipedia and then spam linked it around. If it worked it would constitute a perpetual motion machine.

Delete existing content and redirect to Johann Bessler. The "gravity mill" is a historical term for one of many "overbalancing wheel" perpetual motion machines of the late 17th / 18th centuries. Newton's recently published work on gravity sparked the ideas, but the inventors hadn't read his (or Huygen's) work on caclulus to understand simple harmonic motion and the fact they'd built a pendulum rather than a continuously rotating wheel. This article appears to be a prime example of a later re-invention of this and a WP:ONEDAY for deletion. However the article title is a reasonable redirect to appropriate content on established PM machines. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Traffic control next generation[edit]

Non-notable software package. Oscarthecat (talk) 11:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

when i have question/idea/issue i go to read article about it in wikipedia first. not google or other search. i was a little bit in astonishment when i have found out that there is no article about TCNG.

traffic shaping is a complex topic and configuration/implementation of traffic shaping systems is not easy task. TCNG is not a small script which we could call "non-notable software". there is a deb package made for the tcng. it is included in debian and ubuntu software repositories.

from users perspective: using a simple tcng sample script i was able start a simple traffic shapping on my system in short time. though the input (tcng format) was rather easy to understand for me (a new user), the output was really complex and it could take many times longer to create it by hand.

also i think that this article would need more details (or even small sample) showing the usage of tcng. but maybe that will be added later (by me or other conributor).

by the way, how we actually differentiate if software is notable or not? Raigedas (talk) 13:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mandsford's past is irrelevant. The "comment" he made above is exactly the type of polite and helpful comment we WANT in AfD.

Geteducated.com[edit]

First off, we all acknowledge that AfD is not about article improvement, so I don't really want this to focus on the promotional nature of the article, which I was about to address before I realised that it was probably going to be a waste of time.

It's easy to see how this article got past an overstretched new page patrol:

Newsweek magazine called GetEducated.com “a great source for weeding out phony colleges.” [2]. Other notable references have appeared in: CNN.com [8][3], the Wall Street Journal [4], CBS Marketwatch [5], Time [6], BusinessWeek [7], WIRED [8], Fortune [9], The New York Times [10], U.S. News & World Report [11], Forbes [12], Fast Company [13], and others.

It is my contention that when many of these bluffs are called, they fall away into obscurity. A quick look down the titles of the pieces referenced gives the general idea: only the Newsweek piece actually has "getEducated" in it. All the online sources I have clicked onto say basically the same thing: " 'The sector is...' says Vicky Phillips, CEO of Geteducated.com, 'we hope to...' " or some such - the definition of a trivial reference.

I haven't been able to review the offline source (the Newsweek one looks the best) and the NYT article looks promising, but I can't get past page 1 at the moment to see what the coverage was actually like. Needless to say, I worry about their quality.

I would like to know what other people think about this puffery (if sources could be found, I at least would reconsider). Thanks, - Jarry1250 ^{[ humorous – discuss ]} 10:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

During a search through Google, what I found was fansites, video websites, shopping sites, forums, etc. As the searching went on, the sources became less relevant to the subject, and instead were sites listing mere quotations, links, etc. This article's content cannot comply to WP:V or WP:RS. This article cites only television episodes as sources, which are primary sources. Thanks. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 05:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Character is notable as being the primary antagonist throughout the entire course of a television series. There is enough out-of-universe content in the article, and as usual, Mythdon makes every single decision about the sources he has found concerning the notability of fictional subjects. This is also possibly a violation of Mythdon's arbitration restrictions as he did not seek any sort of external input on the article in any village pump or WikiProject discussion, but I'll bring that up in the proper channels.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep as a POINTy nomination. This is just the latest "casualty" in Mythdon's need to seemingly have every sentence on Wikipedia tagged, especially when it comes to Power Rangers-related articles. JPG-GR (talk) 06:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Main villain in a well-known TV show. Plenty of sources on the article; even if (and that's a damn huge if) any material needs to be cut due to lack of sourcing, deleting the entire article is bloody absurd. For the record, even though I haven't logged in in ages, I've been following this for a while, and Mythdon's sourcing requirements are absurd; every sentence does not need an individual citation; in many cases, one source can cover entire paragraphs or sections. I'd like to add that Mythdon has been warned by ArbCom for pulling these stunts before. jgp T C 07:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect again to Machine Empire where the subject is already discussed. The few relevant search hits linked above only mention this character in passing in discussions of the series as a whole. The keep votes so far assert notability without actually amending the article with reliable sources, and that's because there are few if any reliable sources that discuss this subject in any meaningful verifiable way. Sarilox (talk) 21:57, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So you are suggesting that instead of this semi-sourced article, which has several reliable sources mentioned in this discussion which could be added to it, we should instead use Machine_Empire#King_Mondo for King Mondo - a section of an article that is entirely unsourced? Frank | talk 22:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Generally a list of characters is considered a legitimate spin-off from the main series article. I certainly don't condone the currently unreferenced nature of the Machine Empire article, but if we are going to add reliable sources then that would be the place to start. If and when King Mondo can be established as notable in and of itself, then this article can be resurrected. Presently this article contains primary sources, an imdb reference merely citing the voice actor, and an interview that doesn't mention King Mondo at all. What this article does need is reliable, third-party, published sources, and suffers from having none. To quote Wikipedia:Reliable sources: "Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in an article and should be appropriate to the claims made; if an article topic has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." The few reliable sources linked above do not significantly cover King Mondo, but rather they discuss the series generally while simply mentioning King Mondo as one of the characters. Without significant coverage of King Mondo, notability can not be established. Sarilox (talk) 18:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bit odd, as I am the creator of the article. However, the subject fails any standard of notability. I think I was just new to Wikipedia, had an old book on my hands, and thought it deserved to be here. Looking back, the subject really isn't that notable.

Non-notable amateur player who has yet to play professionally so fails to meet WP:ATHLETE or WP:N. Also fails WP:HOCKEY's guidelines for player notablity WP:HOCKEY/PPF#NOTE. Can be recreated when/if he plays professionally or otherwise achieves notability. Contested Prod claiming Wikipedia:GNG however player's only claim to potential notability is as a hockey player, so he would need to meet WP:Athlete. Not too sure making the World Junior Championship Tournament All Star team is a notable enough honor to establish his current notability. Pparazorback (talk) 05:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Ice hockey-related deletion discussions.
Comment I am usually all for deleting these junior players but I think being named to the WJC All-Star team would qualify as having earned pre-eminent honours per the hockey projects guidelines. As for GNG, the problem is that the objector didn't link to any actual RSes about the subject per WP:RS the articles actually have to be about the actual subject and not just trivial mentions as most of the links on the first page of the search he linked to on google in his edit summary, in fact looking closer almost all of them are just stat sheets. -Djsasso (talk) 05:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment which of course is why I posed the question if the project believes that all players who have made the WJC tournament all-star team should now be considered notable. If so, then this player would be notable as would any other junior player who also were named to the same would now be notable. -Pparazorback (talk) 05:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, that is only 5 people per year. All the other individual awards at the WJC are usually considered good enough. So I would think this one is as well. But I will let others comment, I will stay undecided for now. -Djsasso (talk) 06:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think our criteria already allow players who achieved pre-eminent honors, with making a first team all-star appearance being one of them. While they might be more for regular season play, major tournaments (like the WJC or Memorial Cup) should also satisfy it. Patken4 (talk) 11:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - not meeting ATHLETE is not an automatic disqualifier and this particular player has been covered extensively, being mentioned in nearly 500 Google news stories ([57]). Many of these stories will of course be routine game coverage, however they won't all be. Subject was recently drafted into the NHL and is likely to play a pro game at some point (not guaranteed, of course, but likely). Even if he never plays in the NHL, he is notable for being quite accomplished at the amateur level, as noted above. Most amateur players are non-notable, but this is clearly one of those exceptions that fall in the ~1-2% who are notable. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please by all means come up with even one article about the subject that isn't just routine game coverage or roster coverage or a passing mention. I actually went through about 200 links and there wasn't a single one. I agree there probably is one somewhere, but to say he has been covered extensively would be a misnomer. Being drafted in the 6th round as a goalie is almost a guarantee that he will never play in the NHL. As for being quite accomplished at the amateur level he only has 2 years under his belt so I wouldn't go as far as to say he was quite accomplished or he would have been drafted much sooner than 135th. His only saving grace is doing really well in a single tournament which may or may not fall under WP:BLP1E. -Djsasso (talk) 00:23, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It certain wouldn't fall under BLP1E as that guideline is intended to protect people who accidentally become "famous" as part of some news story, not for people who are trying to be notable. But since you asked, here are two pretty extensive articles about him specifically: [58][59] --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
BLP1E is also meant for someone whose popularity comes from a flurry of news articles based around one event (ie such as being drafted). Ok so you have one verifiable source. You are on your way to meeting the requirement of having multiple ones. (Not sure about the second one that was added after an edit conflict, it looks like a blog and not sure how reliable it is.)-Djsasso (talk) 00:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, here is a 3rd for good measure. Also, we are talking about at least 2 events: WJC all-star & being drafted, so there is no point debating whether BLP1E should apply to an athlete known for one event or not. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: But still, most of these articles are more about him being drafted and that he played one game that made him kind of a hero in Slovakia. Hundreds of players still get drafted each year that never play in a fully professional league. Maybe the All Star team in the WJC makes him notable, and if it does, then it should be kept. Thus, the project needs to discuss this. However, if it does not, then 'the flavor of the month' so to speak may not be on anyone's radar down the roadif he does not achieve any pre-eminent honors or play professionally. He won't be notable. If his only claim to notability is because he is an athlete, the standard of measurement for that notability should be taken from the standards of being an athlete. As a hockey player, he should meet these standards. -Pparazorback (talk) 02:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Athletes-related deletion discussions. -- TexasAndroid (talk) 18:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to say Keep on the basis of his making the WJC All-Star team. The discussion about whether that fact makes someone notable has been here for a few days, but there hasn't been really any disagreement with what DjSasso or myself said. If a discussion about the merits of the arguments needs to take place, then I think this AfD should be closed while that discussion takes place. As a side note, his Slovak language article does have some more articles. Some of these look to be basic biographical and statistic articles, but one of the articles talks about his All-Star team appearance. There might be more information out there from Slovakia. Patken4 (talk) 22:57, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator, I will withdraw this nomination so that the project can discuss if the WJC All star team qualifies as a pre-eminate that satisfies our notability standards. If that discussion decides that it does not, then this article may be nominated once again. -Pparazorback (talk) 00:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep There is a full obituary on him in the New york Times [60] -- and it is used as the reference in the article! That is unquestionably sufficient for notability.

Strong Keep This was created as to save space on the main page. Although you may have an opinion about this. This was done at the suggestion of several Admins when the article was going to WP:GA. So with that said, I do not find any wikipedia guideline that would preclude this page from remaining.This would certainly not be a POV issue and if so, please cite your reasonings for using that as a basis for this attempted AfD please. Canyouhearmenow 04:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I want to see where one specifically states that it is not justified to have a subpage for an artists television history. If this be so, then we must go through and delete all subpages which outline artists discographies and television works and simply place a source or reference tag that leads them to web pages. I think this arguement is ill based. Wikipedia is full of articles that have subpages outlining these very things. So, please show me where this article violates any of these guidelines.Canyouhearmenow 04:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biruitorul, I have just read the wikipedia cites you just gave and not one of them deal with subpages or fancruft that Rwiggum has cited as reasons for deletion. The subjest of this article certainly is more than notable and that releaves WP:V and WP:N. Since he is someone in the public eye, that would negate WP:NOONECARES and WP:LISTCRUFT. The articles subpage deals with the subject at hand so it certainly would not fall under POV or non notability. The only reason this subpage was created was that it was suggested by two seperate admins. So, since you have suggested these cites, please point out to the voters here exactly where these rules or guidelines would apply for reasons of citing them. Thank you Canyouhearmenow 04:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, how about WP:GNG? "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." Cook has received such coverage, but not his television appearances as such. Nowhere does the list even attempt to assert notability. Shall we look at a few recently-promoted featured lists? List of pre-1920 jazz standards, Pritzker Prize, Mercury Prize, List of listed buildings in Runcorn (urban area): do you see how those lists do assert notability in a referenced lead section, have a bibliography, and so forth? In short, how they follow an actual guideline, WP:SAL? Not only does this one totally ignore that guideline, it doesn't even assert the notability of the topic. And that must be shown by "keep" voters; see WP:BURDEN for that. - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cook is a multi Emmy Award winning artist which certainly gives his work in television the notability that it needs. I am unsure as to how this does not assert that notability requirement do you? Under your cite for WP:GNG shall we review its own language? "Often, a separate article is created for formatting and display purposes; however, this does not imply an "inherited notability" per se, but is often accepted in the context of ease of formatting and navigation" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canyouhearmenow (talk • contribs)

But Cook did not win an Emmy for his work on any of these television shows. Just because someone wins an Oscar for directing doesn't mean we need an article about the short film they made with their friends in high school. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 05:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This arguement is not sound! Can we say that when Coke changed its reciepe it was not important enough to put it into the articles mainframe? Of course not! It was that history that helped to build the company and therefore should be included into any writings about the company. The fact that someone has history, whether big or small, it helps to make up the larger picture. That is the purpose of an article about a WP:BLP. These facts constitute that subjects history. That is what we have done here. The only difference is that it has been placed on a subpage. We are doing nothing more here that tail chasing! I have no problems is you can suggest a way for us to include this history into the main article without changing its WP:GA status.Canyouhearmenow 05:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A list of all his television appearances would be inappropriate for the main article in the first place. Creating a separate article just makes it worse. Television appearances are in themselves not notable. What makes them notable is how they relate to the subject's notability. Thus the goal would be to write a killer biography section with compelling prose. Above all, a straight list of appearances is poor form for writing an article, more suited to a fansite site FAQ than an encyclopedia article. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whether he is the performer, producer, writer, singer or anything else, these appearances are still a part of his career as a whole. Again, when it comes to WP:BLP it is important to note that all of this artist efforts make his career in whole. So, the fact that he has made these appearances and has won awards in the television field should account for something. Again, I am not opposed to the page going away as long as the information is included in the mainframe of the subjects article. He also won an Emmy Award here> [64] Canyouhearmenow 20:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And it DOES account for something: It contributes to the notability of David L. Cook. It has nothing to do with his television appearances. notability is not inherited. Just because David L.

Strong keep: Plese note that WP:ATHLETE ia a standard for inclusion, not exclusion. A college football player is notable without ever playing professional football if he meets the general notability guideline. Griffin played every game, and was one of the defensive stars, for the University of Texas Longhorns -- a major football team. He's a sufficiently big star that Topps even issued a football card for him, see here. He has also been the subject of substantial, non-trivial coverage in the media. See for example: (1) Marcus Griffin makes name for himself at Texas: Marcus Griffin, as his twin brother did, is leading UT's defense, Dallas Morning News, Dec. 2007, (2) Texas safety carves out his own identity, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, October 25, 2007; (3) Griffin out of brother's shadow, San Antonio Express, Aug. 2007; (4) Griffin twins could make up half of UT's secondary, Austin American-Statesman, March 2006, (5) Twins left: UT happy Griffins are back: Griffin brothers expected to be primary safeties for Longhorns, Dallas Morning News, Aug. 2006, (6) 'Other' twin gets his shot at Texas, San Antonio Express-News, Aug. 2006, (7) Griffins Could Be Double Trouble, Austin American-Statesman (NewsBank), Mar 29, 2006, (8) A family tradition: Griffin, as his twin brother did, is leading Texas' defense, Kerrville Daily Times, Dec. 2007. Cbl62 (talk) 15:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following are also feature stories about Griffin and available through NewsBank: (9) SPEAK SOFTLY, HIT 'EM HARD, San Antonio Express-News, December 26, 2007, (10) Another Griffin carrying Texas torch, Press-Register (Mobile, AL), December 23, 2007, (11) Senior safety Griffin's two picks help seal deal for Longhorns, Daily Texan, October 22, 2007, (12) The tortoise of Horns backs, Griffin scores on persistence, Austin American-Statesman, October 21, 2007.

So... add them to the article and we might have a sourced article about an athlete for a change! Fences&Windows 22:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You miss the point. The fact that such extensive coverage exists demonstrates notability. The article certainly can be improved with informattion from the articles cited, but the information need not be added to overcome the AFD proposal. Cbl62 (talk) 04:11, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep plenty of notability here, even before any possible professional career may get underway. Sources abound, lots of coverage. Yes, they should be added to the article--but that's an editing issue, not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - The nominator is clearly acting in good faith, but I believe the nomination was made because of a misunderstanding in policy. WP:BIO says WP:ATHLETE is an additional criteria ("Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included"), meaning that it loosens notability criteria, not restricts it. The subject meets the more general WP:BIO basic criteria/WP:GNG as demonstrated by the sources listed by User:Cbl62. Strikehold (talk) 07:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto[edit]

No need for this page. Saint-Saëns wrote 2 cello concertos, granted, but neither of them is ever referred to as just "the Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto". We don't have similar pages for the Beethoven symphonies, the Rachmaninoff piano concertos, the Haydn sonatas ... JackofOz (talk) 01:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I can't say I like it -- a little overzealous on creating redirects -- but its just a disambiguation page and not a categorized article. It appears to be intended only to improve performance of the search window. The same editor also added the Haydn Cello Concerto disambig page. DavidRF (talk) 03:51, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Close early and Redirect -- though I would put this in a different category than Beethoven symphonies, Rachmaninoff piano concertos, or Haydn piano sonatas, all of which have a large body of work on them as a whole, so a collective article on them as a group could be a great contribution. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 03:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He has played for the Irish Under 19 National Team FYI, the only reason why he hasnt made a fist team appearance this season is because the league has not started yet!, i say we wait until the new league season begins in Greece (August 22) and wait until Round 5 at least to see if he make an appearance, if he doesnt, fair enough delete the article.

      - Strong Keep They wouldn't be on Youth contracts at that age group-under-19s would be on professional terms-do you follow football at all? If it was U-17s or younger I'd agree there is a chance, but this guy is clearly a professional player on the books of a professional club in a fully-professional league. he's yet to make an apperance because he only signed last month (June) of this year, deleting this outright is crazy-I agree this needs more time. Are Wikipedia struggling for hosting space and running the risk of going down or something? Is that why there is pressure on to delete articles at the moment? Otherwise, this over-zealous approach will just start to anger people and I don't quite understand the rationale, if people feel theres just cause for an article being there and are willing to argue the points while recreating the page continously, why would you keep deleting it? Joseph McSweeney 14:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
      - Anyway youth football isn't by no means notable as it's not the highest possible level they can represent their country at, thousands of players play youth football and never make the grade, hardly a rationale to keep some. Young layers make squads all the time, never make it and drop into obsurity, hence why there is criteria set. Hardly "crazy", create the page when the subject it notable, not the other way round. --Jimbo^[online] 00:17, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Well I (and others) consider the and under-19 or 21 cap as well as playing for a Premier Division club passes WP:N! Maybe its time you have a fresh look at the crude and farcical WP:ATHLETE because recently almost 10 players that you consider "not notable" due to this guideline have not been deleted at AfD (despite the best efforts of a group of editors from the "FOOTY Project" and !vote together.--Vintagekits (talk) 09:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Storws Wen Golf Club[edit]

User:Nuttah tried to AFD this but didn't finish the job because Twinkle glitched. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 15:29, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination = Contested speedy for a non notable golf course. 112 unique GHits, none of which are the reliable sources required to show how the company meets WP:ORG. As the course is only thirteen years old, and only a 9 hole course, I doubt there are other sources that aren't on the net. Nuttah (talk) 15:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and rd to the town. No evidence of notability for this nine-hole course. JJL (talk) 16:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Print-only references are probably available. Some publications about golf courses and their design are not available for free on the Internet. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hosfelt gallery[edit]

Business listing for an art gallery, with not the slightest evidence for, or even suggestion of, wider impact. Has a long list of artists it represents, almost all of which are either redlinks or dab entries which don't include artists. Calton | Talk 02:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Weak Keep while the news results are mainly listings of who is exhibiting there, there's some evidence that the gallery is notable. I'll see what I can do to clean it up-current condition is a mess. StarM 16:14, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Additional Comment I cleaned it up some-the architect won an award for the bulding-and there are a lot of mentions, but I don't know what makes a gallery notable. There's more than enough out there if someone wants to work on this. StarM 16:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peru Top 100[edit]

Another chart hosted on Americatop100.com and blogspot. No apparent notability, no indication of source, no indication of methodology: in short, no reason to live. Should follow in the footsteps of its brethren at WP:Articles for deletion/México Top 100. —Kww(talk) 22:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
