Sculptor Rasto Hlavina (User:RHlav) has created an article about his own sculpture. I prodded it as advertising, and he contested it on the talk page, asserting that if we delete it, we are the "tool of crafty individuals" and "the pond in the game of pretension", and that we should leave the article "straight from the horse's mouth". Of course, that conflicts with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and WP:SPAM. Wikipedia is not a free webhost for artists to describe and promote their own work.

Also, I'd like to point out here that a deletion is not a death sentence. Also this is not a voting process, as Wikipedia is not a democracy.

If you do not think that is notabil enough lets take a look at the other refs that are on the page
http://www.survivalblog.com/2009/06/letter_re_advice_for_an_m4_and.html Is a ref by James Wesley Rawles on www.survivalblog.com and if you do not know who he is you can look at his wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wesley_Rawles and refs from his site all over wikipedia. His site has been accepted for refs for years here on wikipedia see this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivalism
http://www.urbansurvival.com/blog/?p=1267 is George Ure of www.urbansurvival.com who talked about his author and the books with George Noory on Coast To Coast AM and here is the wikipedia pages for that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Noory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_to_Coast_AM
Here is a ref from the same guy above on his website also https://www.urbansurvival.com/nl20090725.htm
James Wesley Rawles and George Ure are some of the most well know leaders in survivalist movement and they are very well known, just ask anyone that is into survival. If you ask people in that same movement if they have heard of www.survivalebooks.com about half of them will say they have. There are no self promotes on James Wesley Rawles and George Ure sites. All that has happened is that leaders in the field liked what the author was doing and they started noting it.
It would have been better if I linked to the youtube video instead of this guys board http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQLYYxfB7lw instead of the link to the board below.
http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=84700 as Kevins site I did not find a ton of info on here besides ref on another page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=www.survivalistboards.com but he is also very well know with message board with 37,910 members, and massive views on youtube. But if you also take a look at the http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=survivalistboards.com&aq=f gives you a idea of how well know he is when it comes to survivalism.

Two were also hit with grenades in one of the most serious war-crimes cases to emerge from the Afghan war.
The charges are part of one of the widest-ranging U.S. war-crime cases to emerge from the conflict in Afghanistan.
News of such atrocities, committed by international troops who are supposed to be bringing stability and justice to Afghanistan, has a particularly serious effect in his country, says Nader Nadery of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission. On the other hand, he adds, the investigations against the soldiers in the United States show "that such atrocities do not go unpunished, and that the men must stand trial for their misconduct."
The charges appear to be some of the most serious war crimes to have emerged in the Afghan occupation, an occupation that President Obama recently referred to as a "tough slog."
As part of one of the widest-ranging U.S. war-crime cases to emerge from the conflict in Afghanistan, charging documents released Wednesday allege soldiers took finger bones and other body parts cut from Afghan corpses.
If the claims made in the indictment are true, the crimes committed by the kill team went beyond the killing of Afghan civilians. In fact, the men allegedly devised "scenarios" for the killings, a kind of script that included plausible pretexts for the murders. Gibbs is believed to have been the planner, while the younger team members did the shooting. The men apparently treated killing as a sport.
In your comment immediately above, and in your comment that immediately precedes it, you called this article "highly inappropriate", due to "sensationalism". A perception of sensationalism in our coverage of a topic that is itself worthy of coverage is simply not grounds for deletion, as per our deletion policies. If the topic itself is worthy of coverage, perceptions of problems with WP:NPOV, WP:OR, or WP:VER are supposed to be addressed on the article's talk page, or through the use of wikitags -- not deletion. Isn't your perceived concern over sensationalism just a concern over WP:NPOV, something that, if others agreed with you, could be addressed by rewriting the most sensational passages. In particular, if, like User:Shadowjams, your particular concern was over the assertion in the article that this was the "one of the most serious war crime[s] to emerge from the War in Afghanistan..." wasn't referenced, and wasn't attributed to WP:RS, please acknowledge that this passage has been rewritten so it is referenced and attributed to WP:RS.

Delete - simple case of WP:BLP1E who has only been charged with a crime. However, a redirect to the event works, too. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 02:15, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The way I see it, an association with the conspiracy is not a "one event". The three murders we have heard about were spread over a four month period. Why shouldn't each be considered a separate event? As Iqinn noted above, Winfield is reported to have tried blow the whistle on the genuine perps. Winfield is not the only whistleblower. Three days after the third murder a newly arrived recruit tried to report that murder, and was severely beaten. The rings crimes came to light after the beating of that second whistleblower was investigated. In addition to the murders the ring is alleged to have, kept body parts of their victims' corpses, as trophies, robbed civilians and to have indulged in heavy use of hashish, which, like opium, is cheap and plentiful in Afghanistan.
The way I see it, as of September 16, 2010, Gibbs, and Winfield merit individual articles. The rest should be covered in an article on the ring, which should have a ((seealso))s for Gibbs and Winfield. Additional individuals may merit coverage in separate articles, as more details emerge.
Another contributor refers us to the WP:PERP section of WP:Notability (people). They quoted a passage from that section: "Someone accused of a crime is not guilty unless and until this is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator until a conviction is secured." As I wrote above, the wikipedia currently contains articles on something like one million individuals. I think we should know, by now, how to write articles on alleged perps, without implying their guilt had been proved. We should consider not creating an article on Winfield, "until a conviction is secured"? OK, what does the rest of the section say? The third of the three numbered points in the section says:
"The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual or has otherwise been considered noteworthy such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally the historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role. The assessment of notability on the basis of news coverage should follow the same criteria for assessing the notability of the crime, as above."
We do cover some murders, when there are exceptional circumstances, like, when one of the parties was already a celebrity, or when the view that the was a miscarraige of justice is proven, or widely held.
Now you may personally believe that the events Gibbs and Winfield are alleged to have participated in are nothing new. But, as I wrote above, there is no press coverage to back up that view. And, in contrast to the demonstrably common high murder rate in the USA, readers can't read about how other murders of civilians by GIs in Iraq or Afghanistan are usually prosecuted, in the articles on the US military justice system. Only a handful of instances have come to light, and each instance that has come to light has been sufficiently different that they are all remarkable, and worthy of coverage here. As I wrote above, without regard to how common you think this kind of incident is: "Even if, for the sake of argument, you and I and Iqinn and everyone else who works on these articles privately believe that this series of events is not unusual, the thing that would make this series of events remarkable is that, this time, charges were laid."

Delete. Fails notability per WP:ORG. This is an announcement of a new development project based on the cancellation of the OpenSolaris operating system. The announcement of this new project was made September 14, 2010. The premise is to inherit notability based on that of OpenSolaris. Statements are made that this new project is the continuation of OpenSolaris. Sounds like a possible change in the name and direction of the development team. If so, another option would be to merge OpenIndiana with OpenSolaris.
There is a lack of notability established through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. An independent source is a point of media or publication which describes a topic from a disinterested perspective. Published works produced by those affiliated with the subject are not considered reliable. Considering the target audience of sources culled from the publications provided, the references are presented by professional industry media of limited interest and circulation. The publications have established an affiliated, direct interest in the subject and are therefore, not independent. Use of sources of this nature, does not establish or support notability. Accordingly, notability of OpenIndiana at this point, is not yet established independent of OpenSolaris. Cindamuse (talk) 05:22, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. OpenIndiana this is not a change of name for OpenSolaris. OpenSolaris was ostensibly a Sun Microsystems project that was closed by Oracle on Sun's acquisition. This left anyone using OpenSolaris in the lurch facing the choice between the devil and deep blue sea. Pay Oracle prohibitive license fees or use an unsupported OS. OpenIndiana is re-establishment of a new community based organisation to overcome betrayal of trust from an open source sponsor.
This is an important technology industry milestone. http://dlc.openindiana.org/tmp/slides.pdf

Notability seems to be established, all issues regarding notability should be purged from this discussion page so we can get down to whatever issues remain. Merging with OpenSolaris would be like merging RedHat and Linux pages, which was not done on Wikipedia. OpenSolaris is controlled by Oracle, which OpenIndiana is not. Confusion may boil down to OpenSolaris was was an overloaded trademark (a commercially owned thing, source code repository, a community project, a binary distribution, a source of continual patch updates), originally started off as a source code repository, and grew organically into these other areas. OpenSolaris was not necessarily "canceled" as some of the people wishing to "Delete" this article suggested, but community participation was limited by the trademark owner (i.e. the creation of Illumos resulted.) Regular binary distributions are no longer being rolled (i.e. the creation of OpenIndiana resulted.) Patches for regular binary distributions are no longer being rolled (i.e. a suggested future goal of OpenIndiana.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidHalko (talk • contribs) 16:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nomination of this article is utterly arbitrary, as can be seen from what articles about other Linux and OpenSolaris distributions exist. First, there are articles about Illumos (which is not a distribution but a fork of the core OpenSolaris code base) as well as about other distributions based on OpenSolaris, namely Nexenta, SchilliX, and BeleniX. A reader wanting to learn about OpenSolaris and its derivatives would be confused as to why there are articles about those distributions but not about OpenIndiana, especially given that Oracle has canceled OpenSolaris as a distribution and OpenIndiana is intended to be its replacement. While OpenIndiana is newer than those other distributions, the fact that (judging by posts on the OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list) its first development release is as stable and polished as the best of the OpenSolaris development releases demonstrates that it is a viable project, so it cannot be treated as "not notable" on account of its newness.
Second, since OpenIndiana is a derivative of what will be Oracle Solaris 11, it is analogous to CentOS, which is a derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. There exists not only an article on CentOS, but also on at least five other derivatives of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including, ironically, Oracle Enterprise Linux, as one knows from the article Red Hat Enterprise Linux derivatives. If the article on OpenIndiana is deleted, then fairness would require that the article on Oracle Enterprise Linux be deleted as well, although there is no indication that deleting the latter article has even occurred to anyone. -- Herzen (talk) 20:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
