The result was Keep Crystal does not apply as the show is undoubtly going to air. Crystal matters when you are predicting something whose actual occurance may or may not happen. While OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument for keeping, the existance of 42 other episodes for the series is a strong precident, while the article may not be much now, I have no doubt that it will be expanded... deleting it today to have it created in a week is just a little too much... if it doesn't get expanded after it airs, then we could revisit it.---Balloonman ^{NO!

Keep Does not fail WP:CRYSTAL. Per WP:CRYSTAL, "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred." This is verifiable through Sony, and it is likely to merit an article, as we have 42 articles in Category:Boondocks (TV series) episodes.

Arthur Madsen[edit]

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

No references to establish notability. Unclear claim to notability as well. Google news/archive doesn't bring back anything, but again, going by the text it's unclear why subject would be given significant coverage in reliable sources Omarcheeseboro (talk) 08:46, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability seems reasonably well established within the context of Madsen's Chief Translator position on the INGA-SHABA project, the USA's largest project in Africa during the 1970s and 80s. His contributions financially, through the Bank of Zaire, ensured employment of hundreds of Americans during the time frame in question. His verifiable technology transfer publications (Int'l Academy of African Business, etc.)are noteworthy and contribute to his significance. His connections to Bill Clinton's Cabinet, directly or indirectly, are also of more than passing interest.

True, the tone of this contribution could be improved, rendering it less mellifluous and more reportorial.

Deletion, after many unchallenged years on Wikipedia, seems a bit harsh. Rewording or elimination of some portions would seem more appropriate.

Omarcheeseboro's archives indicate willingness to work with articles such as this one. Perhaps through dialogue, this colorful biography can remain, in an improved form. Sources for this bio appear intact through cross-linking to specific, well-documented Wiki articles.— User:203.145.90.192 (talk • contribs) has made no other edits outside this topic.

There are apparently a number of internet and published sources utilizing and discussing his material on Algeria (Ben Bella, El Outaya, etc) and The Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire), plus the IAABD site. These locations are returned by Google and Google Beta, for example:

Looking over WIKI's Reliable Source criteria, he fits into a scholarly category, though admittedly has published seriously on only two or three countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.145.92.225 (talk) 04:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC) — User:203.145.92.225 (talk • contribs) has made no other edits outside this topic.[reply]

In the presence of his apparently serious deletion suggestion, still under consideration in compliance with WIKI's due process rules, I'm left wondering why Omar (15 May) removed the justified "Harvard tag" (I've just replaced it) and added "Quincy, Mass". This minor change could point to his personal frustration with the actual content of the article, rather than to a legitimate desire to delete in accordance with WIKI policy.

(1) In support of the THIRD PARTY source condition, here's an article from a New Hampshire newspaper attesting to the Inga Shaba appointment and three other periods of corporate employment, plus degrees and so forth. More sources coming as the search continues.

http://membres.multimania.fr/transnational/News-cli.gif

You should try to find out the name and date of the paper, otherwise you may have difficulty convincing others it is a legitimate listing. It will also be hard to reference without that data. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 23:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]

(2) NPOV seems to be an issue primarily because of the "ebullient style" of the article -- but this objection was dealt with in previous discussions and resulted only in a lower rating for the article, not an overt suggestion for deletion. An aesthetic argument can be made in favor of this style since it makes reading more enjoyable and less tedious.

(3)Intra-textual references are scattered throughout the bio-article, mostly linking to well-established WIKI articles dealing with Electronic Defense Labs, Inga-Shaba, Young Socialist Alliance, Notre Dame University, and Andre Gide, for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.217.143.134 (talk) 02:18, 17 May 2010 (UTC) — User:124.217.143.134 (talk • contribs) has made no other edits outside this topic.[reply]

There is also WIKI's 'occasional exception' rule whereby the text of the article can be reworked slightly and the page retained based on its intrinsic interest and notability of accomplishments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.145.92.225 (talk) 13:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC) — User:203.145.92.225 (talk • contribs) has made no other edits outside this topic.[reply]

It's curious that this bio has been selected for deletion; it had been fairly recently upgraded from a START bio, considerably above a template and stub, to one of the GREEN levels, a B at least. As Omar points out in his initial flagging statement, there is really no reason that a CHIEF TRANSLATOR, TECHNICAL AUTHOR and CENTRAL BANK LIAISON SPECIALIST (responsible for disbursal of millions of dollars for American jobs) should necessarily be recognized by 'reliable sources' in the formal sense. WIKI is liberal enough, under the occasional exception rule, for example, to recognize some unsung heroes who are indeed notable and noteworthy. I recommend some (1) re-editing of the text, (2) perhaps some abridgment and (3) giving the contributors a chance to improve the overall article, as was the original intent when rating this article between a START and an "A' or "B".

Hello Omar, Sodabottle, and John CD --> A photo is one of the primary 'Wiki-means' of identifying a person of historical notability and here is one of Madsen, Master of Ceremonies, taken on board the 'M/V Jack Langland' during a major christening event, attended by Ambassadors and Congolese officials, which was organized for this large self-propelling barge on the Congo River. In addition to the foregoing information, emanating from Hong Kong (you're right...but by TWO persons...a professor and a colleague of Madsen's), this should provide sufficient proof to at least maintain the article temporarily intact until some re-editing can be accomplished...but kindly remove the discouraging labels and tags at the top for a few months at least.

Delete - It appears the subject's major notable accomplishment is donating money to Africa in some way. It isn't entirely clear what his role entailed and is somewhat confusing to read. The rest reads like a resume, indicating his schooling and even his GPA. By this standard anyone who works overseas for the government and has some semblence of authority would be eligible to have an article. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 23:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]
In point of fact, Madsen was extracting money, hundreds of millions, from Africa for technical services rendered and creating hundreds of jobs for Americans with this Zairian money. In any event, Madsen probably wouldn't want his article on WIKI ... which seems to have some rather basic editorial support problems. Please remove this article forthwith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.145.90.173 (talk) 05:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: Several inaccuracies in Nineteen's assertions... Also: Sodabottle's vote is conditional. Indeed, verifiable third party sources have been identified...Omar's original flagging, emanating from someplace close to Langley, Virginia, seems dubiously motivated as well... Anyway, good wiki-fellows, do what you wish with this article which embodies considerable merit.

Delete - Anyone interested in researching anything about this fellow will probably see all there is to see on the [Inga–Shaba] page, which is more notable yet far shorter. Everything else on the page is little more than either personal vanity or unsourced research. His main claim to fame is embedded deep within the article. A Google search turns up nothing but this article. The age of the article should not be a consideration in not deleting it. Jaqphule (talk) 19:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm willing -- even as a former supporter of this article -- to accept Jaqphule's assessment which seems to encapsulate the essence of the problem. Google Beta may have produced more results than simply Google, but all of that is irrelevant due to the 'vanity issue' which, almost as a humorous taunt to Wiki, dominates the article's tone. You may delete the article. Perhaps the Inga-Shaba page can be strengthened somewhat in the near future.

Anti-pedophile activism[edit]

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

The article fails to meet WP criteria for inclusion. Reasons for deletion include the following:

Large portion of the text is about Perverted Justice and topics related to this organization (e.g., its affiliates and criticism of its tactics), all of which is discussed in a separate article.
Remaining information fails to meet the notability requirement.
Presence of original research and poor sourcing.
No lead section.
The problems with this article have been brought up on its Talk Page in the past (starting in September 2009), and no improvements have been made. Tags regarding OR, notability and lack of lead have been present since January 2010.

~ Homologeo (talk) 15:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - I agree that the article is in a pretty poor state, but Wikipedia is a work in progress and an article on a notable topic (just see references for confirmation of significant coverage) shouldn't be deleted due to the state of the article. I suggest that you be bold and remove irrelevant information and OR, source the article properly, and write a lead. I'd be happy to assist you. Claritas § 16:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If the article is kept upon the completion of this AfD discussion, I could remove the Perverted Justice and related content, along with OR and other inappropriate info. However, I do not consider this topic notable enough and foresee almost nothing remaining from the current text, once the deletions take place. Thus, I don't think I'll be the one to resurrect this piece. If the article remains, anyone else interested in and knowledgeable in the subject matter is encouraged to contribute. As it stands right now, I really do not see the value of keeping this article within the project. ~ Homologeo (talk) 08:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I suggest that the problems raised by Homologeo, such as duplication with Perverted Justice, be addressed and then the deletion issue can be revisited. There is an anti-pedophile movement, and PJ is not the only anti-pedophile organization. Four-month old tags are relatively new and shouldn't be taken as a cause for deletion.

Keep. True, Perverted Justice is rather/mostly targeting hebephiles instead of pedophiles, and they need to be largely cut from this article, but I have no doubt that this article can be fixed up in text, other sources, and accuracy. Flyer22 (talk) 19:37, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or total rewrite. When you look at what pages link to it we find only 7 actual articles, these are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. All the other linked pages are user, talk, redirects or Wikipedia admin pages. Also it is hopelessly flawed and if kept it should be rewritten in its entirety. The vast majority of the article is about Perverted-Justice and should be on that page if it’s not already. ThinkingTwice ^{contribs | talk} 20:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - would a stubification be appropriate ? I can't see that much encyclopaedic material in the article worth keeping at all - if reduced to a few short paragraphs it would be more easy to reconstruct as a good encyclopaedic article. Just a thought. Claritas § 21:22, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable state chapter of the NJCL. There are no external references and it does not pass WP:CLUB. Coverage is only local in scope and the limited sourced encyclopedic information is better presented in a sub-list of the main article, per WP:CLUB. Reywas92^Talk 23:06, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The national organization is notable and is well represented by the article National Junior Classical League. All the articles about local chapters should be deleted. This is not just my opinion; this is policy. Quoting from WP:GROUP, "Aim for one good article, not multiple permanent stubs: Individual chapters, divisions, departments, and other sub-units of notable organizations are only rarely notable enough to warrant a separate article. Information on chapters and affiliates should normally be merged into the article about the parent organization." While we should at it we should delete the article National Junior Clasical League state chapters and the two categories, Category:National Junior Classical League and Category:National Junior Classical League State Chapters. --MelanieN (talk) 03:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

News article [4] from the Idaho Statesman (the newspaper has a page on this very encyclopedia =O )
From the Denver Daily News [5]
From the Sacremento Bee [6]
From the AMVA [7], which doesnt have the exact words "pet recovery service" but talks about one of the companies (American Kennel Club) I listed above.

All the links should work, and there are more that are paywall. LexisNexis is handy.--Savonneux (talk) 02:06, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also when you say directories are not significant coverage, is true for individual companies/people/things ever so much more than topics. I was only trying to point out that enough companies purport to offer a service that a directory is necessary would denote that significant business (as in trade) in such a service does in fact exist. --Savonneux (talk) 02:14, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not even remotely appropriate for a dictionary (compare wikt:gringo, which is what a dictionary entry would look like). This is a thoroughly encyclopedic, tolerably well researched and sourced encyclopedia article whose topic happens to be a word. Nothing wrong with that. +Angr 13:47, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The section headings are a bit muddled and there are many 'Citation needed' tags, but deletion is not for cleanup. This article discusses the social distribution and use of the word, the history of its usage, and its proposed etymology. Only the latter is dictionary content. Just as Wikipedia is not a dictionary, Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Cnilep (talk) 14:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per "WP is not a dictionary." There could be an article on every word in the English language, although this one seems to exists mainly in Spanish and only secondarily in English. There is nothing so special about this word, also the article is full of opinions on if the word is offensive in various countries. We can't read people's minds to know what their intentions are in using a word so all this is just based on opinions. Kitfoxxe (talk) 14:57, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I compared this article with the Wiktionary article. Theirs is definitely just a dic def. this article, while probably poorly constructed (not that i could do better), and probably heavy on the word origins, is about a word that has enough debate, controversy to justify having an encyclopedia article. its a perfect subject to wikify, to link to other articles, to categorize, in ways that wiktionary cant do. WP is not a dictionary is really not applicable here, as there is abundantly more to this word than its definition. Regarding the Commie redirect: actually, i find it odd that the word Communist doesnt have an article, considering the furor around being identified as one at various times. I would argue we need an article (or at least a subsection) just for all the notable times someone has been called a communist to score political points. Here are some legitimate books which feature the term and the subject to some degree beyond dic def: Gringo: A Coming of Age in Latin America by Chesa Boudin, Gringo: the making of a rebel by Emil Willimetz, El gringo: New Mexico and her people, William Watts H. Davis. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:44, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic is notable and might be improved in accordance with our editing policy by reference to scholarly sources such as Observations on the Word Gringo. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, probably. I think Powers is spot on that the article in its current state is little more than a dictionary entry and is inappropriate for Wikipedia. However, taking a quick look at Colonel Warden's source and a making a cursory scan of Google Books, where I found some additional potential sources ([8][9][10]) I have all confidence that the article could be expanded into a decent encyclopedia article on a word, rather than a dictionary entry. In this case I think the solution is cleanup rather than deletion.--Cúchullain ^t/c 21:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a reasonable encyclopedic article, much more than a definition. Other than the pejorative offense the word has, I can see no rationale for anybody making a case for exclusion. In other words, this article is being attacked on alterior PC grounds rather than its legitimacy.Trackinfo (talk) 15:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't see the Wiki article for "nigger" recommended for deletion. The first sentence of the article states "Nigger is a noun in the English language, most notable for its usage in a pejorative context to refer to black people, and also as an informal slang term, among other contexts." It identifies the subject as a word from a language, but the word itself has a culturally contextual relevance that elevates it above a mere dictionary entry. I feel like the word "gringo" (being one myself) has the same relevance. It seems to me (and, I'm no expert) that the purpose of a dictionary is merely to function as a rote reference book (using the Wiki page's definition of rote learning as my basis: "rote learning is a learning technique which avoids understanding of a subject and instead focuses on memorization) and an encyclopedia is meant to function as a contextually aware guide to its subject material. Someone above said (with an implied eye-rolling) that there could be an encyclopedia article for every word in the English language, and I would say that, actually, there very well could, if it was going to be contextually relevant, and not just a dry, rote listing of the textbook meaning of the words, separate from any cultural or historical awareness. Obviously the encyclopedia itself should be a bias-free reference, but since I, as a person, do not have to be, I would like to believe that in a perfect world, having an encyclopedic knowledge of where these words come from would inspire us to no longer use them, or at the very least have them reappropriated or recontextualized.

University of Gloucestershire Gladiators[edit]

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

Non notable. Only mention I can find on Google besides site related directly to this team and its rivals is this article in the weekly Bath Chronicle which basically gives a brief run down of the whole season for a rival team (i.e. it says Bath Bees will play Gloucestershire Gladiators (Note that it also turns up a lot of links to Gloucestershire Gladiators who are much more notable). Lack of coverage is not really surprising as with a mere handful of exceptions, largely confined to mainstream British sports (such as soccer, rowing, cricket and rugby), university sports teams in the UK are of little not even in their own institution never mind in the wider world. The article is also unreferenced. Given the lack of independent coverage, the prospects of being able to reference the article seem remote. Pit-yacker (talk) 12:35, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Canadian restaurants[edit]

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

List of restaurant chains, almost all of which have their own article. This list article appears to have been cobbled together over time and the entries lack coherence. Most of the worthwhile information that is in here could be incorporated into the relevant articles. There is already a 'Restaurants in Canada' category so this article would then be redundant CosmicJake (talk) 12:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep because it contains a lot of unique information and some of the companies which are big players in the Canadian market do not have their own articles (MTY Food Group, Chairman's Brand Corporation, Imvescor, Opa Souvlaki, Vanelli's) and the ones that do are largely very big companies with articles that are very long, information about those companies was added to, condensed and so useful in a list. There are many unique references and a lot of the information is properly researched. List of Canadian restaurants includes useful information on some companies that don't have their own articles (some of them are major players in the Canadian industry Chairman's brand corporation, imvescor, opa souvlaki of Greece, vanelli's). the article has been up for a couple years and has been receiving views. It provides useful detailed information on food restaurants that are based in Canada, there are not many if any other lists or articles that do that. Many people seeking information on the Canadian industry might only be interested in a small amount of general information on each company, just a general overview of the companies that comprise the Canadian market that are Canadian. The articles don't offer that because of requirements that they have a certain amount of pages linking to them, references. Thoses requirements also make it difficult for some parent company's like imvescor and chairmans to have their own articles because there isn't enough information about them to make their own article.

Keep "Redundant to a category" almost never works as an argument for deletion. About the only fault that I can give to this is that one can't devote that much space to each restaurant chain.

Warwick Wolves[edit]

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

Not notable. British university sports teams are rarely notable within their own institution, never mind the wider world. Warwick Wolves do not appear to be one of the mere handful of exceptions. The exceptions are generally confined to mainstream British sports such as soccer, cricket, rugby and rowing. American Football itself is of niche interest in the UK anyway. Besides sites directly related to the team and its rivals, other teams called Warwick Wolves and a supporters group for Wolverhampton Wanderers (often known by the nickname the Wolves), a quick search on google, turns up a single [very brief mention] in the Coventry Telegraph (circulation 47,000) saying that they played the paper's local university team. Article is also unreferenced, given the lack of independent sources there is little prospect of being able to reference the article. Pit-yacker (talk) 12:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not ready to call it a group delete myself (although I wouldn't object if someone did) but I've also been on the "receiving end" of bulk deletions like this. My suggestion is that we slow down for a bit and let the editors have some time to create the articles/catch up. While these articles are of non-notable teams, they aren't doing any harm necessarily to Wikipedia so in the interest of being civil, I propose slowing down the process just a touch.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a hoax - at least some of it I'm familiar with, but it is pure OR. Delete as such. Tim Song (talk) 20:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hold On Here. This does not seem like a particularly well-formed AfD. For one thing, there is a second AfD with a different reason concurrently in progress. That AfD is based on a claim of "sockpuppetry", which I don't know about but I presume has some good basis. But this AfD is based solely on a concern of "WP:NOT (dictionary)" But it seems to me that assuming that Renpin is real it is capable of being a lot more than just a dicdef. We do have articles on Morality and whatever. I think that the claim that this is just a dicdef fails on its face. However, two cogent claims have been made (but not in this AfD): 1) All the sources are in Chinese, which most of us can't read, and 2) the whole thing is a hoax.

The first point is true. However, although I can't read them very well, they seem real enough (note that additional sources are given on the article talk page). However, I think that they are just people's blogs, not real news stories. But then I imagine it is pretty difficult to get real stories about new religous phenomena from China. Recall that WP:SOURCES#Non-English sources certainly does let us use foreign-language sources.

I'm not sure where the second allegation comes from. Perhaps from the statement "...new religion originated from Chinese online community", which certainly sounds fishy, although perhaps the person is just not expressing themselves clearly. Also the creator of the article seems overenthusiastic and for this he has been blocked, and then there are the allegations of puppetry at the other AfD.

Anyway, The AfD just says its a dicdef, and it would have been better if these other objections had been forwarded instad. And if we do have to delete the article, I think that we should recognize that the reason is "We at the English Wikipedia are insufficiently educated to be able to evaluate the sources", and not just jump all over this guy and his article. Herostratus (talk) 20:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's basically a neologism in Chinese, not a "religious phenomenon" but more like "I'm out of luck this time, so I'll have better luck next time", expressed using that neologism. These sources are either blogs (all the hi.baidu ones, which also do not even mention the word "religion") or totally unreliable (the baike.baidu one, which is like a Chinese copycat of WP except that it is almost without any editorial control whatsoever except being "harmonized"). Tim Song (talk) 23:00, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article says that the religion was created online, and I don't need to be able to read Mandarin to see that the cited sources are social networking/forum/blog somethings, simply from their formatting- not reliable, published sources, even in Chinese. Of course, notable religions can arise online (like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, for instance), but I just can't see any reason to think that this is one of them. Happy to change my mind if someone finds better sources- even if they aren't in English. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:23, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article on non-notable local councillor who has not held any appropriate national or sub-national office and therefore fails WP:POLITICIAN. No coverage in third party sources independent of the subject. Valenciano (talk) 10:03, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are numerous news sources covering the political activities of this politician over many years. This is a repeat nomination which fails to bring anything new to the discussion and so is disruptive per WP:DEL and WP:NOTAGAIN. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:35, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I'm missing something this has only been nominated once before - and that was way back in August 2005, nearly 5 years ago. You say there are numerous news sources covering him. Where are they? Certainly not in the article where they should be per WP:RS so your argument is basically a lots of sources fallacy and tantamount to a KEEP! vote. Valenciano (talk) 12:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are readily visible in the search links above and I just added one to the article. Please tell us what you have done to observe the proper preliminaries of WP:BEFORE. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You added one yes, but did you read things like WP:NOTNEWS before adding it? Your ref like the others is a bog standard news story in the context of an election which he was unsuccessful in. It's an article about the election campaign, not about this individual. It doesn't cover him in the type of substantial detail needed to meet WP:GNG. So per numerous previous discussions and consensus at WP:POLITICIAN he's just an election candidate and therefore isn't notable. Valenciano (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTNEWS started as sensible guidance to avoid mundane stuff like weather reports. The naysayers at WP:NOT constantly try to expand their pet peeves but this is largely irrelevant to our work. The actual policy of Wikipedia may be seen from the main page where we have a section specifically devoted to news items. This currently contains details of a tropical storm, winners of a motor race, a song contest, an election result, a train derailment &c. The idea that all this should be moved to Wikinews is just not happening and so does not represent our consensus. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes WP:NOTNEWS is there to avoid mundane stuff, and the Birmingham Post article which you added as a ref is exactly that - one political party criticises another during the course of an election campaign and it gets reported in the local paper for that area. What's notable about that? So still we're left with the fact that the subject doesn't have the sort of in depth coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. Valenciano (talk) 15:01, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Strong keep (changed per sources below). Evidently notable, with plenty of sources about the subject along several years, as a trivial Gnews search shows. I endorse Colonel Warden comment: NOTNEWS is not a blanket that removes news sources from being reliable and useful in the context of the encyclopedia. Given that previous AfD was in 2005, when policies were different, I don't see the renomination as disruptive per se, but for sure the nom could have made some effort in WP:BEFORE. --Cyclopia ^talk 14:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

None of which cover him in any detail or are even about him. This deals with a complaint he made in his context as a party spokesman. This is pay per view and seems to be about an election campaign. This seems to be about someone with the same surname. This one simply mentions that he's been selected as an election candidate (not notable) and the rest are just him speaking as a party spokesman, again not notable. So, sorry to correct you but the research was done and it involved looking a bit deeper than a "trivial Gnews search" which demonstrates that he clearly hasn't been covered in detail by multiple sources. Valenciano (talk) 15:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. This is a source about him, mentioning that he's been selected and speaking as a party spokesman. Both things are not notable per se, but it's an article about the subject, and this goes forward meeting WP:GNG. Here and here his declarations are reported in length. Here another full length article about him, in a fully different context than previously. Here another paragraph about him: why do you think it's another guy? Here his role in an international affair. Here coverage of his meeting with Pakistani president. Here another source that talks of him. Etc. --Cyclopia ^talk 15:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But almost all of that is routine coverage which simply establishes the fact that he is a politician/political spokesman. So routine news articles which simply mention that he has been selected to fight an election, which cover tasks which he's carried out as a local councillor etc don't meet notability guidelines, particularly those agreed at WP:POLITICIAN Most of the sources above which you cite are from his local paper in a subsection called Asian News, every local councillor will at one time or another get a quote in their local paper, past consensus has judged that local councillors aren't notable and for good reasons - there are millions of them. To answer your question this source which was on your gnews page, seems to be about someone with the same surname a Mohammed Azfal in a different political party. Valenciano (talk) 15:53, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A "local councillor" that meets the Pakistani president, is involved in international relationships and whose declarations are reported in full length. What is linked above makes it clear that the politician passes WP:GNG without any problem. There are millions of local councillors, but this particular one is notable because he has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. That is our basic and golden standard of notability. About the link: Yes this is another Afzal, but this other one is about our Afzal. Perhaps I misread above, I thought you were saying the latter was not about Qassim Afzal. --Cyclopia ^talk 16:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These are not trivial mentions. There are a couple of full articles where our guy is the one and only subject. This is more than what is requested by WP:GNG. We don't establish notability on the basis of what the guy has done, but on the basis of the secondary sources that talk about him. There are plenty. GNG says Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. , but we don't even need to claim that. [14], [15] are exclusively about the subject. [16], [17], [18] , [19] and [20] are not focused only of Mr.Afzal but talk about him extensively. --Cyclopia ^talk 22:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first article about Afzal is about his selection to run for parliament, and the third is a thumbnail sketch about him and other candidates. The other articles briefly mention activities carried out during his campaigns. Are you aware that newapapers regularly cover national elections, reporting candidates who have been selected and giving background descriptions of them? Do you know that minor policians are often mentioned in local and ethnic media when they meet foreign VIPs or help citizens with problems? Can you please tell me anything notable about this person, other than having received the same sort of coverage as other local councillors and prospective parliamentary candidates? TFD (talk) 23:36, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable != "standing above the crowd". Notable means having been the subject of significant coverage by third-party sources. If other candidates received coverage, they are notable too. --Cyclopia ^talk 23:59, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How does he stand above the crowd of other local councillors and unsuccessful parliamentary candidates? TFD (talk) 00:10, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my fault. The != symbol means "is different" . I will rewrite: Being notable does not mean "stand above the crowd". --Cyclopia ^talk 00:15, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Another politician debate that touches on the difficult question of competing notability guidelines. WP:POLITICIAN would say he's not notable. The GNG would say he is. In my view (I stress in my view because people can legitimately disagree with this), these questions should be resolved by bearing two points in mind. First, they are only guidelines; neither takes precedence over the other. Secondly, both only confer presumptions not guarantees of notability and inclusion. In light of those two points, it is my view that we should balance the extent to which the subject meets one guideline against the extent to which he fails the other. He fails WP:POLITICIAN significantly. He passes GNG marginally if at all. Thus any presumption conferred by the GNG here is weak, and is rebutted by the subject's clear lack of notability according to the community's standards for members of his profession.--Mkativerata (talk) 06:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment is insightful but it is mostly based on a false assumption. POLITICAN and GNG are not "competing" at all. WP:N says: A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guidelines below and is not excluded by WP:NOT. A topic can also be considered notable if it meets the criteria outlined in any of the subject-specific guidelines listed on the right. (emphasis mine) - This means that the basic presumption is given by passing one of the guidelines. A subject can be notable by passing WP:POLITICIAN only and not WP:GNG, and viceversa. Also, the article doesn't seem in conflict with WP:NOT or WP:BLP, so I see no reason to rebuke the presumption. I disagree with the fact that GNG is passed marginally, given the number of sources about the subject presented above. --Cyclopia ^talk 16:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Without trying to lawyer on this too much - because I don't think there is a right or wrong answer - my attention is focused on the words "presumed" and "can also" above - ie can also does not mean "is notable".--Mkativerata (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ Neutral The subject's notability is borderline at best. Many of the links above come from the same source: The Manchester Evening News.

Delete Subject has only a handful fights, nearly all in non-notable, local promotions (Cage Warriors is borderline to me); therefore, IMO, does not compete on the "fully professional level" of the sport as per WP:ATHLETE. Appeared on a reality TV show and gets eliminated in the first round, also not notable. --TreyGeek (talk) 15:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fact the three fights were PROFESSIONAL fights means that he fits the criteria. Also, he's fought at the highest level of MMA (UFC in the Ultimate Fighter). He totally meets criteria and is therefore notable and should be kept. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:34, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATHLETE says a person must "have competed at the fully professional level of a sport" (emphasis mine). Three fights in local promotions, IMO, does not qualify as fully professional. If it were, then the yahoo who fights every weekend at the VFW for $50 is also a notable professional MMA fighter. Matches on TUF are exhibition matches and thus, IMO, are not fully professional level matches. --TreyGeek (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Surely you of anyone should realise who farcical the "exhibition" tag for TUF actually is. The only reason for it is so they don't have to realise the results. It's still a professional bout, even if it isn't recorded on permanent fight records. Also, with the athlete section, it's if they've competed at a notable show. McKinney hasn't, with the exception of Cage Warriors, which if I'm right was an American expansion of the English promotion (that is the [now] top promotion in England). Also got to take into account his opponents, for which there are two notables. Now the athlete definition is, as stated, about teh notability of the organisation competed in. UFC/TUF is the top level. Paralympiakos (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2010 (UTC) The vote by TreyGeek was canvassed, as RapidSpin only invited him to vote on this matter. As such, it should probably be disregarded. Paralympiakos (talk) 18:56, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Despite how it may seem, I am calm, I just wish you'd read WP:ATHLETE as Paraisy, McKinney, Henle and Lynch all pass it, giving them notability. Instead, I'm having to battle to keep these articles. Paraisy shouldn't have even been deleted. 3 vs. 1 isn't consensus in my book. Paralympiakos (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't believe he qualifies under WP:ATH, yet. TUF is not the UFC, they're competing for a UFC contract. This means it's really a tryout. I don't consider an athlete to be "fully professional" unless he can make his living as a competitor--that's why minor league baseball players are not generally considered notable. So far I don't see that this guy is there yet. Papaursa (talk) 15:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's where you're wrong. They're all under contract, all 14 of them. However, the ones who don't get past the first round are released. They aren't fighting for a contract, as they're already under contract and the quarter finalists are always invited back and get AT LEAST one fight. They're fighting for a SIX FIGURE contract. Therefore, I'd say your argument was void. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. Just curious, are they under UFC fight contracts or TV contracts? Either way, that doesn't show that they qualify as "fully professional", at least as I understand it. Papaursa (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A UFC contract is a UFC contract, whether it's for fighters to compete in a numbered event or a Spike event (UFC Fight Nights, The Ultimate Fighter or The Ultimate Fighter finale). All of them are valid contracts, but they are under released clauses, as those who are eliminated in first rounds are released from contracts. Be that as it may, McKinney will highly likely be released, but the very fact he's fought notables and been a part of the UFC, means he passes WP:ATHLETE. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can show me that he makes enough money just through fighting to support himself, I'll happily change my vote. This isn't personal. Papaursa (talk) 15:23, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, bit of an awkward one to prove and one that really I can't. Can we prove that for anyone other than saying that it's their full time job? I really don't have any proof, nor do I for the very top MMA fighters. The only reason we know that other MMA fighters are supported have it as a living is the payout figures that are released. Not sure how you'd want me to prove it. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saying speedy keep here just broadcasts you're not familiar with AfD, or what speedy keep actually means. There's nothing wrong with this nomination, and it's hardly a speedy keep. That said, because we have such a loose athlete criteria policy (that's how it is), I think this individual meets it. So, run of the mill Keep. It doesn't do your cause any favors to claim "speedy keep" when everyone familiar with this process knows that's absurd.

Keep: There might be no relationship between service and age of death, but lifetime definitely influences the evolution of a political mind; so in order to get an evaluation of political decisions in the light of following decades by those politicians who were responsible, lifetime is relevant. Dewritech (talk) 10:07, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. Age at start of service is definitely not indiscriminate. But we're not talking about that - we're talking about age at death, and that happens after the period of service ends. Age at death cannot possibly be of relevance to their service because it is a complete unknown at the time. I42 (talk) 06:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Biographes about or analytical writings from politicians are probably the more extensive the older these politicians are, so the age of death can be an indicator for the depth of analysis. There are obviously not too many politicians who are able to reflect on their decisions decades later, when they can see long term consequences. So these list is not just some kind of useless cross-categorization but an effective instrument for detecting politicians with broad personal and political experiences.

Keep: This wikipedia page falls under all pro basketball player athlete guidelines/terms. All references are highly notable including the National Basketball Association (NBA), the American Basketball Association (ABA), and SLAM Magazine. If the NBA recognizes Behdad Sami as a "full" pro athlete and also honors him as the first pro Iranian basketball player in the USA, its highly notable being the NBA is the highest level basketball league in the world.

Keep. It seems like players are getting a couple thousand USD a month which, while nothing compared to the NBA, is "fully pro" in my book. $20 000 a year isn't great pay, but a player could conceivably live off of it without a second job. Being the first Iranian "pro" basketball player helps (and nearly all the sources do say that Sami is the first Iranian Pro basketball player in the US, even after Hamed Haddadi started in the NBA). On the other hand, Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Basketball doesn't list the current incantation of the ABA in their list of leagues that automatically confer notability. Still, even if the current ABA is decided to not automatically confer notability, I believe that Sami still passes our notability guidelines, if only barely. Buddy431 (talk) 22:12, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree with Buddy431, also wanted to add, Behdad has played in more professional leagues other than the ABA, he has played in overseas pro leagues whom are all considered fully pro. Overseas teams pay as much as $8000-100,000 a month and they also include housing, food, and travel expenses. Behdad reportedly signed for $85,000 (116k including bonuses) in 2007 (i have the reference for proof), which still is not the millions the NBA pays, but Euro league teams, teams in Asia pay amazing also for example in Korea, starting rate for a USA basketball player with a nice resume is $15,000 a month. Behdad def. fits all the guidelines and falls under all criteria of nobality as far the USA basketball goes and most definetly falls under overseas pro too. Again, the NBA claims him as full pro and is mentioned in every NBA article regarding Iranian basketball as well as SLAM magazine who is the biggest basketball magazine worlwide.--Hoopindreams (talk) 22:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you give the source that he played professionally overseas? Because if so, that would definitely qualify him under WP:AHLETE. Buddy431 (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- @Buddy431, in reference(5) on Behdads wiki page, which was originally an article written on ABAlive.com it states, "In 2007-2008, he averaged 17 points and 6 assists with the Gwizzlies before returning to play overseas". Also i have his first contract that he signed in 2007/08 with a SuperLeague team overseas, its a JPEG PDF file but I could email, screenshot, photobucket if needed. Its an official contract with each page stamped and signed by the team and by Behdad himself. Its 8 pages and it includes every bit of information.--Hoopindreams (talk) 22:34, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All his hard work and everything he has done would be taken away. ABA is full pro, overseas is full pro. He has done both, he falls under all rules and guidelines. .

Are TV stations eligible for speedy? I think I'd rather have a consensus deletion. delete UtherSRG (talk) 07:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As author of the page, allow me to make the case for keeping the article. The FCC does have a record of this ownership group and the several stations it owns. I posted it as a summary article due in part that the individual stations probably would not have enough individual information between them to write substantive articles for each one in their own right, but TV stations, since they are FCC-licensed, are generally recognized as being notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Not to delve too much into informal "tests," but the very similar UHF-TV Inc.'s notability has not been challenged.

We have (Johnny Cash discography) and this is a logical supplement.

Comment This is far from being a dictionary definition; it gives a photo and examples of its use, rather than simply defining the term. Notability is a different question — which I won't answer, as I'm not sure. Nyttend (talk) 17:35, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (as nom). Dictionary definition without notability, encyclopedic context, or potential for expansion into a bona fide article. Mjpresson (talk) 17:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: can't delete as a dictionary definition: there's certainly room for expansion (history, methods of making, etc.) not appropriate for a dictionary. Is it notable? Not sure. I've found a lot of passing references (news articles, etc.) but no good reliable source about what it is itself. However, I've found one article that cites our article [31], indicating that our article is probably actually useful (as opposed to all of our Japanese train station pages... I know, I know, being a well written, factual, useful article isn't enough to get into Wikipedia). There's also this interesting, though probably not sufficient reference on Fox News in reference to the United Airlines Flight 663 incident (evidently the diplomat was smoking a one-hitter). I suspect that extensive coverage in a reliable source exists, but until it's found, I won't !vote yet. Buddy431 (talk) 02:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. You couldn't make this up. No sooner has beloved Fox News made sure the world knows about a WP article explaining what a one-hitter is, than some editor wants to do away with the selfsame article. To get a view of the mindset of that pro-deletion editor, see the edit history and talk page of the article. Content ready to add (once assured it will not be curtly reverted) includes mention and pictures of chillum (of which some are one-hitters), kiseru (Japan), midwakh (middle east), and sebsi (Morocco). Chillum and sebsi are reportedly used mostly with cannabis, kiseru and midwakh mostly with tobacco. "But if it looks like a one-hitter, it is a one-hitter."

Special differences from just any "pipe" include: (a) that by sucking slowly users can vaporize, rather than burn, most of the sifted herb, obtaining more nutrient versus carbon monoxide, and (b) that "side-stream smoke" can be more easily avoided. A crater screen permits using sifted herb for better vaporization; a long flexible drawtube cools vapors before inhalation. (The Qatar diplomat arrested on a plane with a "one-hitter" was conjectured by one correspondent to have been using a midwakh; conceivably he wanted to avoid side-stream smoke. He was caught anyway, "It's the law.")Tokerdesigner (talk) 21:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

North Carolina Junior Classical League[edit]

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

Non-notable state chapter of the NJCL. There are no external references and it does not pass WP:CLUB. Coverage is only local in scope and the limited sourced encyclopedic information is better presented in a sub-list of the main article, per WP:CLUB. Reywas92^Talk 23:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Articles on local/state chapters do not have consensus. Note that the article says absolutely nothing noteworthy about the chapter. Abductive (reasoning) 09:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Local chapters of a national organization are not generally notable and there is nothing about this chapter to qualify it as notable. Since this is the third such article to come to AfD I did some looking around, and I found that this organization is RIDICULOUSLY overrepresented in Wikipedia. In addition to a dozen or so individual chapter listings, most of then containing nothing of encyclopedic value - stuff like where they had their convention and who their officers are - there is a page called National Junior Clasical League state chapters (sic, with "classical" misspelled) and there are two categories, Category:National Junior Classical League, which has five entries, and Category:National Junior Classical League State Chapters, which has ten entries. This is CRAZY. None of this is encyclopedic or necessary. The only article that is actually needed is the excellent, existing overview article called National Junior Classical League. Compare this clutter with organizations that are far more noteworthy, such as Kiwanis or Rotary or Key Club or a national fraternity, and you will find NO articles about individual chapters or subdivisions. The whole rats nest should be cleared out leaving a single article, namely National Junior Classical League. --MelanieN (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And BTW please note that I am not denying the notability of the National Junior Classical League. I'm sure it is a fine organization and I agree it is notable. I am just saying it should follow the same rules as all the other notable national organizations - and not have articles about individual chapters. (Much less whole categories to list all the articles.) --MelanieN (talk) 00:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Better, I suppose that this be taken to the forum than what has happened so far. The basis for the deletion seems to be that a statewide high school academic competition and the organization that oversees it would not be considered notable if it has only local coverage.

If the album is to be deleted for non-notability than the nomination should be phrased appropriately and the correct rationale should be used. In this case the nominator's rationale is not applicable. This AfD is illegitimate and should be closed as "moot." --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the use of the term "demo" in the article text, some easy good faith research reveals that this item later became a commercially-released album. So if you think this commercially released album article should be deleted, then it is illegitimate to say it should be deleted because it is a demo.

Keep: The song is the first single from 50's fourth album, the song also appeared on a mixtape, but that was never intended to be in place of on the album. The album was delayed several times, so the single is notable in that it was eagerly anticipated by fans. The article also shows it was number one on a billboard chart. Not being sourced is not a reason to delete an article especially when said sources could easily be contained. Furthermore compared to many other song related wiki article the article seems about decent length. All in all I say we should keep this one.--Deathawk (talk) 05:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment anticipation for a song is not enoguh to make it notable. neither is saying its compared to other songs its a decent length per WP:Other studd exists. the sources in this article are poor (mainly self-published) and the article is unlikely to grow in size. furthermore simply being released is not enough for notability. being number on bubbling under chart is not even a great chart achievement and since its unsourced it should be removed from the article. bubbling under charts cannot even be sourced credibly without a billboard chart subscription.

Comment: many of the members of said family appear marginally notable: extensive news obituary in the Telegraph (with news stories to boot about his strange death), a few perhaps non-trivial references in a Google Book search, I'm sure there are more. Might be better off having individual articles and linking them, but I say it's a notable family (or perhaps a family with a couple notable members). Buddy431 (talk) 03:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Owning a lot of ships" seems like a pretty good qualification for being notable, just like extracting lots of oil, distilling lots of liquor or publishing a lot of books. The fact that there is a family business, ownership and management of which appears to be have been shared among members and handed over from one generation to the next, probably makes it better to begin by treating the family as a whole and then break out any members whose significance goes beyond that. That said, this article is next to incoherent and should probably have at least a good source or two. While the nominator's deletion argument remains invalid, it may perhaps be better to delete it and allow someone else to begin from scratch. --Hegvald (talk) 06:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with that (which is more or less what I said above: delete this unreferenced rubbish and let someone else start from scratch). Or are you saying that you consider it unlikely that such sources (covering a family collectively worth a couple of billion pounds) exist at all? --Hegvald (talk) 05:50, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: notable without a doubt. No difficulty in sourcing - I've added a few external links that were easy to find, to make (I hope) a proper stub of it, but there are likely to be a lot more to be added by someone more persistent. Two or three individuals may well merit their own articles as well, but this is an extremely prominent business family that's surely worth a collective article.HeartofaDog (talk) 02:01, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article looks much better now. HeartofaDog, if you look at Google Books, there are more possibly relevant hits, but they're all "snippet view" or no preview (at least for me). I would be surprised if there weren't Greek and/or paper references in addition to what is easily found on the internet. --Hegvald (talk) 05:03, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes, there's bound to be more - I haven't attempted Greek-language sources, but they've got to be there. If I get time I'll see about Google books, but I imagine I'll have the same restrictions as you. HeartofaDog (talk) 23:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced BLP. No coverage in reliable sources provided. (The closest I found was a few mentions on afterellen.com.) Only potentially notable role is on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Keep. I visit because i find this article mis-classified as "unsourced" when in fact it is sourced. The deletion nominator should update his/her editing to use ((BLP IMDB-only refimprove)) or ((BLP IMDB refimprove)) as an appropriate tag for articles that are sourced from IMDB. It seems like insular wikipedia jargon to assert that an article is "unsourced" when in fact it is obviously sourced by the IMDB source given in the article. Or if the complaint is that the source is presented as a general source in the form of an external link (which is actually acceptable by my understanding of policy/guidelines), then please use ((nofootnotes)) to complain about lack of specific footnoting. I !vote Keep as I believe the accuracy of IMDB in asserting this person is an actor and appears on the TV shows as reported in IMDB. Deleting the article will just leave a void to be filled by a new article on same person. Better to mark the article for improvement, or to improve it. --doncram (talk) 17:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Sorry the article was mis-tagged. Now back to the subject of its notability. Yes, IMDb is a "source". However, it is not a reliable source. For notability, we need significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. We do not currently have that. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, okay. I added a second source to the article, also attesting that he is an actor and acts in the TV series DeGrassi. Do you seriously disbelieve IMDB on that? IMDB is reliable/credible for some information. And, I added the article to WikiProject Canada and I will add mention of this AFD to wt:Canada now. Perhaps both of those steps will attract some editors to fix up the article, but maybe not on short notice. I imagine there is more coverage of Karras in Canadian newspapers and other sources, because he is Canadian and because the Degrassi series is a Canadian TV show. I think it is best to let the article develop. --doncram (talk) 01:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - IMDb lists pretty much everyone who has any credited part whatsoever in any film or television show. It can be helpful for verification of some facts after notability has been covered off through other sources, but it doesn't prove notability by itself; if it did, we'd have articles on every second sous-grip and best boy and chef's assistant and porn fluffer in the history of film.

Keep Seeing as there's been an entire book [38] written and published by a third party on the topic of one of his works Itameru Ashi, as pointed out in the article, I fail to see where the alleged "non-notability" comes from. The National Diet Library catalogue further verifies that the book in question went through a large number of printings for several years after its initial publication [39]. Ikejiri is also discussed in the book "Southern Journey of Showa Writers" [40].
