Bust of Giovanni Vigevano[edit]

Unimportant, lack of sources, perhaps merge with Giovanni Vigevano Whenaxis (talk) 22:57, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree that there is a lack of sources - two sources are included. And as an early work by one of foremost sculptor of art history, it's hardly unimportant. It's much better for the sculpture to have an independent entry, where its image can be shown, rather than being merged, and therefore lost, in the much larger Bernini entry.

ShayTards[edit]

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

ShayTards is not notable except that it is "very popular" on youtube. Shay Butler (ShayCarl) himself may be notable as he helped develop the Maker Stuidos production company and has himself been in multiple financial magazine articles due to his success, but his ShayTards channel itslef is not notable and this article is not a replacement for Shay Carl's article. Sources only confirm random stats in the article but do not show why these stats are notable. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 19:27, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the existence of this from 2009 should be noted, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaycarl, which I felt was a no consensus situation but was closed as delete. I saw that the ShayTards article popped up later on, among other iterations about ShayCarl, I believe, no matter how many times someone tries to delete them.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 05:27, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The problem has always been notability. When the Shay Carl article was deleted many times over, he was not notable at the time. In the past years, he has gained notability (at least in my eyes). My concern is that this article is attempting to be a gateway for Shay's notability when the "show" itself has none. I absolutely agree that the ShayCarl article should be the place to put this information, and even have a section about his SHAYTARDS channel. But to do that, you will need to create an Article for Creation article and build it up to show that Shay Butler does indeed have the notability to have ShayCarl reinstated. I'm for that process 100%. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 06:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think some of the problem is that Wikipedia's notability guidelines are based upon old media concepts. The Shaytards channel on YouTube just crossed 1 million subscribers. That's more people than view most television shows. But somehow, shows like this are ignored by the old media outlets that we rely upon to write articles about these people. It doesn't mean that they aren't notable. It just makes it harder to write an article. If you have to get rid of the article to follow the rules, I agree with the comments above about Shay Butler being a better fit, but ultimately they are both very well known.

Delete - it may certainly be a popular web series, but unfortunately, without secondary reliable sources it is impossible to write an encyclopedic article on the subject. I could find none. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:53, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Move to Shay Butler. I'm not sure why this is a deletion discussion instead of a move discussion. Even the nominator doesn't seem to be arguing it should be deleted; just that ShayTards is a worse name than Shay Butler. --Qwerty0 (talk) 17:07, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Not necessarily. This article is, in fact, about the ShayTards and not Shay Butler, specifically. Shay Butler is just the creator of the webseries ShayTards. If this article is in fact moved to Shay Butler, the entire article would have to change (and not really easily), that's why it's not a question of Move, but this article should just be deleted and a new article about ShayButler should be created if there exists enough reliable and secondary sources to warrant it--perhaps in the Articles-for-Creation area--and have it approved before creation (due to the mass times ShayCarl, Shaycarl, Shay Carl, Shay carl, Shay Butler, etc etc, have been deleted). There is clearly not enough sources in this article right now to warrant a move. The information here does not show notability for ShayTards or Shay Butler. This discussion is about the deletion of this article. I just go on tangents sometimes. The Shay Butler article has the potential to become an article since I believe he has notability now, but I just don't have the sources to make one. And this article does not have them.~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 00:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This seems a bit of form over substance, you could probably rework this article into a 3 sentence stub about Shay Butler and move the article in the time it took you to compose that comment. :-) --Milowent • ^hasspoken 00:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bloodied But Unbowed (HR report on Bahrain)[edit]

Contested prod. No evidence provided for the notability of this report, independently of the uprising it chronicles. This report may be used as a source for the 2011 Bahraini uprising article, but there's nothing that warrants an article dedicated to the report itself.

Topic is notable. Reliable sources: HSRP: Bloodied but Unbowed: Unwarranted State Violence Against Bahraini Protesters, UNHCR: Bahrain: Bloodied but unbowed: Unwarranted state violence against Bahraini protesters, M&C: Amnesty International criticises Bahrain over "excessive force".

Soft keep There are three qualifying third-party sources at least, if you don't count the hosting of the original text by other organizations. Since the topic is ongoing maybe deletion should wait until more sources indicating the notability of the report can be found. Or consider merging into the Bahraini uprising's article section "Coverage by human rights organizations" to replace the links with prose. If the article stays its prose should be rewritten to emphasize the notability of the report not the uprisings, ie what role does/did the report play in different cultural fields. Galadrist (talk) 20:16, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy, and I suggest using this as a source for an article on the 2011 Bahrain uprising rather than making this source itself the subject of an article There is a trio of articles with the same story. The subject of the reports is notable, but there is little or no indication of wp:notability for the report. Sources given in comments are generally the author of the report itself, or just condensations of or listings of the report. The content of the article is a presentation of the assertions of the report rather than being about the report. North8000 (talk) 22:02, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Firm Keep. Other than when challenged on a specific point with contradictory evidence adduced, Amnesty is a reliable source. It is hard to envisage how an Amnesty publication dealing with a specific national-level situation would not be notable and there are third party references -

However those references should not be essential to the retention of the article because a primary source may be used "to make straightforward, descriptive statements that any educated person, with access to the source but without specialist knowledge, will be able to verify are supported by the source. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source." Common sense and even enshrined in WP policy - WP:Primary source.Opbeith (talk) 23:56, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but we are not talking about whether Amnesty is a reliable source. We are talking about whether an eight page Amnesty report is sufficiently notable to be the subject of an idependent article. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We live in a world in which human rights abuses compete with one another for attention on an almost Darwinian basis. Understandably, given the level of competition for its official attention as one of the small group of organisations operating at the highest level of human rights campaigning, Amnesty is not in the business of publishing ephemeral trivialities, whatever the number of pages. Opbeith (talk) 22:04, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that neither the report nor the issue is trivial. I am sorry if I gave this impression. I do think that what he have here is a useful source, but not a good topic for an article.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:34, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We're on the Great Wikipedia Philosophical Faultline here, Tigerboy1966. I know that my perception of Wikipedia isn't universally shared. As far as I'm concerned the value and justification of Wikipedia as a collaborative enterprise is that it serves as a place where information on any subject of interest can be shared directly (defining "subject of interest" broadly as a subject of interest to anyone other than the individual who has created the article and which is not inaccurate, misleading or exploitative for purposes of purely private or partisan gain). I know that other people have a more rigorous notion of what Wikipedia should be. The filter of "notability" is a compromise aimed at resolving that fundamental conflict by providing a baseline "quality control" mechanism aimed at excluding abuse. When the bar is raised and notability requirements are applied more strictly than is necessary to exclude abuse, then something different is happening. I disagree with the idea of "tweaking" notability as a mechanism for "quality improvement" based on essentially subjective criteria of what an encyclopaedia should be and what should qualify for inclusion. This report is significant to people interested in the Bahraini Uprising itself; it's also significant to people interested in human rights issues generally for whom Bahrain is an important example of how the substance of respect for human rights is determined at the interface of principle and pragmatism. For me, that's enough for it to be a "good" topic. So we disagree, but in present circumstances that doesn't matter. What does matter is that (as I see it, of course) the baseline notability requirement for the topic seems to have been satisfied.

To go back to your previous comment concerning use of the term "2011 Bahrain Uprising" as indicating the expression of a point of view/POV and hence presumably relevant to this discussion. I presume that the element that you object to is the use of the word "Uprising". The substance of the event is consistent with the Wikipedia definition of an uprising, so if someone as authoritative as Frank Gardner is happy to use the term in relation to the events in Bahrain this year[2], I see no solid reason why Wikipedia shouldn't. Opbeith (talk) 11:06, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding in such a thoughtful and detailed way. I sort of see your point, but I don't think that every "subject of interest" needs a separate article. Wikipedia has other ways of making information available. As for "uprising", I don't much like it, but the usage seems to be established by precedent, and I can't think of an appropriate alternative.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 11:41, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Firm delete. Current events are reported and commented upon by a number of bodies, institutions and organisations, Amnesty and HRW being just two among them. Whilst this is not to diminish the content of their reports, please let it be kept in mind that these are no more than reports on current political events. The fact that Amnesty International is a familiar name - more for generating publicity than for the quality of their reporting (and I am saying it as a human rights professional!) - does not merit every report signed by Amnesty to have a separate article devoted to it (unless you really need a place to discuss its contents critically). Here I disagree with Opbeith: Wikipedia is not to replace Google or the Internet. Anyone wishing to read a particular report will find it at the source, there is hardly any need to reword all these articles for Wikipedia (which will not be the first search result returned anyway). What is key for me, a report per se - as any news article or analysis of current events - should only be regarded as just one more opinion on these events; it has no meaning outside the context of the political development. Hence, I strongly suggest that the report in question (which is more of a publicity article) is definitely mentioned in the 2011 Bahraini uprising article. However, let's keep this report where it belongs: a point of view (backed by some first-hand experience) on these events. kashmiri (talk) 00:55, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The report, like any document, has meaning/significance beyond its simple content that as you indicate has to do with the relationship to its context - its issue and its impact, and, again as you indicate, any critical discussion reported. Your criticism of the article is justified insofar as the content of the article (and the others discussed here with it) still needs expansion by the author to reflect this. I have had my own tangles with Amnesty but your suggestion that the defects in reporting and other inconsistencies, which I acknowledged, make Amnesty more notable for publicity generation than for the substance of its reporting seems a little extreme.Opbeith (talk) 06:08, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't intend to underestimate Amnesty's role in generating awareness on current-day events. My intention was only to indicate that reports and analyses by professional political analysts (usually affiliated with large think-tanks) tend to be of distinctly higher quality. Human rights reporting, especially in Amnesty's edition, seems to focus on denouncing what actually is only a (more or less natural) outcome of certain historical, ethnic, political, cultural, etc., conditions; it does not see the bigger context at all. Moreover, and unfortunately, it mostly focuses on not what the people affected consider as most oppressive in their everyday lives (e.g., persisting threat of violence, highhandedness of civil administration, forced labour) but on what generates most publicity in the West (lack of democracy, freedom of speech, persecution of 'human rights defenders', a "bad president", etc.). I have been involved, at one point, both in human rights reporting and in analysing its impact - and can't really say these reports contain much of reliable information. Not at all. kashmiri (talk) 18:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A smile to Bahraini Activist: English language has some capitalisation rules, it would be nice if they are respected at creation of new articles.kashmiri (talk) 01:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of the three Arab Spring countries at "uprising" status (meaning government seriously challenged and destabilised by protests but not yet replaced by transition government), Yemen, Bahrain and Syria, i get the impression that the amount of documentation by human rights organisations - both local and international - is a lot more detailed in Bahrain than in the other two. In that sense, an article like 2011 human rights reports on Bahrain may be justified as covering a notable topic in itself, and in any case, is likely to be justified as a WP:SPLIT off the main article. The main article is already huge, and International reactions to the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising, with a brief section on NGO reactions, is also huge. So IMHO a split is justified. Six separate articles are not justified. After writing the merged article and giving it some time to settle, it should become possible to see if the article can stand on its own or if it would be better compressed and merged into the already huge main Bahrain article.

Merge the six NGO Bahrain 2011 human rights reports, all of which are under AfD, into a single article something like 2011 human rights reports on Bahrain. A link to the governmental commission and its report should go in the article. Removing the redundant background and see also sections of the individual articles will reduce the overall length of the combined article. The six AfD links are:
1. local,
2. HRWF,
3. Amnesty,
4. ICG,
5. HRW,
6. Physicians
Boud (talk) 01:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A thoughtful and constructive suggestion. Though my own preference is still for retention of individual articles (covering context as well as content), a general article could also give a broader perspective. It would be helpful to have the author's thoughts. Opbeith (talk) 06:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I find the Merge as a good compensatory idea. I think there are 2 more ICG reports and 2 more HRWF reports as well, but I stopped working on that since this issue was raised. There is also one more local report by Al Wefaq to be published. Also there is the Irish Fact Finding Delegation On Bahrain, which according to these articles [3], [4], [5], [6] should have reached a conclusion, but I couldn't find it anywhere. If it's not too much, I asked you (Boud) to take a look at that topic as well as give your opinion about it. Bahraini Activist (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. ICG, as nearly all think-tanks and thousands of other organisations in the world, regularly publish country reports . IMHO, it makes very little sense to include and describe all of them on Wikipedia. I see no justification that each and every report on every country in the world ever published by ICG and similar organisations should have each a separate article on Wikipedia, despite their perhaps strong emotional value for certain parties to the events. Maybe a summary article listing selected international reports by country would not be bad - but certainly not articles on individual reports (and with such a confusing name). kashmiri (talk) 00:17, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tricky one. As it stands it looks like a delete. But in 72 hours it will probably be a viable topic, so deletion at this stage would seem a bit pointless. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agreed with Lugnuts and Tigerboy1966. The article was created prematurely but isn't doing any harm and will hopefully be viable shortly. I get the impression the two people saying "Delete" are unaware of the other articles, or even Top Gear Race to the North which is based on a single feature.

Contested prod about a futures trader and his company. No evidence that the subject of this article meets WP:GNG. Relatively few ghits for "Liravongsa -wikipedia", many of them irrelevant. Only one reference, subscriber-only. His claim to notability seems to rest on that of his company, but the company's notability isn't established (e.g. is "the first proprietary Ichimoku automated trading system" notable?) and anyway notability isn't inherited.

[reply]

Unfortunately "it's useful" isn't sufficient here; we need actual evidence of notability, such as magazine articles that discuss Liravongsa (and perhaps his algorithms too, but again, an article on the code wouldn't be enough to save this article as notability cannot be "inherited" from a product to a person). If you know of such sources that we can quote, list them here and we can update the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:49, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Index of gaming articles[edit]

Impossibly huge scope; every article related to "games". This article is not even the slightest fraction complete, and it never will be. There are board games, video games, midway games, people, companies, genres, but only the tiniest representative slice.

Comment Can this be turned from a list-of-lists into a list-of-lists-of-lists? Jclemens (talk) 04:52, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and split into a list of lists (by major subcategories of Category:Games), obviously. Just deleting this would make no sense at all, since it would necessarily be re-created if the Category:Indexes of articles continues to grow and become all-inclusive. (That is a meaning-laden "if", too. I wouldn't mind seeing the entire thing and its contents disappear, other than its subcategory Category:Outlines, the contents of which serve a real purpose; most of rest of that stuff just duplicates the functionality of categories. But if we're going to keep them, don't discriminate arbitrarily against the games category.) — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 06:13, 17 December 2011 (UTC) PS: The fastest way to get started would be to rename this Index of gaming topics ("gaming" per Category:Gaming, as Category:Games is for individual games, not the topic of games and gaming a a whole; and "topics" since it will list higher-level topics, not individual articles in most cases). Next fork off an Index of video game topics; about 2/3 of the content would go in there, move them into, respectively, Category:Indexes of gaming topics and Category:Indexes of video game topics (named per Category:Video games not gaming), which already have other categorized articles. Then subdivide further by major topic areas of Category:Gaming and Category:Video games, some of which already exist as "Index of..."/"List of..." articles. Anything more properly a sport than a game should go in Index of sports topics and Category:Indexes of sports topics, based on subcats of Category:Sports. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 06:19, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate so as to give SMcClandlish time to carry out the revamp that he proposes. There's no reason to keep this material in the mainspace while he does it.—S Marshall T/C 16:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The fact that there are lots of gaming topics is a reason to have a substantial index, not a reason to delete it. If it seems to need improvement then this is a reason for ordinary editing not deletion per our editing policy. The article should not be moved from mainspace because that is the usual place for us to work upon substantial articles in a collaborative way. Assigning the topic to a particular editor or project would be contrary to policy. Warden (talk) 11:02, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thing is, Colonel, that the name of this list has already changed during the course of this AfD and the proposal is to completely rewrite the content pretty much from scratch. What we're proposing to keep has a different name and different content from the material that JohnnyMrNinja proposed for deletion. That's not really a "keep" outcome except in a highly technical sense, is it? The purpose of incubating it isn't to "assign" the project to SMcClandlish (and if that was what was wanted then we would userfy it to him instead), but to put it into a collaborative workspace where SMcClandlish can take the lead in doing as he suggests, because clearly he's the man with the detailed plan for what to do.—S Marshall T/C 17:10, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mainspace is our collaborative workspace and that is the essential feature of wikipedia. The move to a new title is not settled as we have had little participation here as yet. This article has existed for 9 years and has been edited by multiple experienced editors in that time. It is presumptious for one editor to suppose that they now control its destiny. Warden (talk) 19:27, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – This list article is discriminate and exclusive to articles about gaming. It serves to functionally and usefully serve as an index for various Wikipedia articles, and assists users in browsing and navigating topics on Wikipedia. Compare this to having to utilize the search engine and sort through all of the results, which would be more burdensome to users. Overall, this article improves the Wikipedia project. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:07, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The list is discriminate, and length or incompleteness is never a valid reason to delete something. Dream Focus 08:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – no scope is impossible for Wikipedia. Wikipedia itself is the prime example, because its scope is all-encompassing! So, an index of all gaming articles is an appropriate goal to accommodate navigation through the ocean of gaming subjects covered on Wikipedia. Nominator exhibits all or nothing reasoning. The fallacy that it's not beneficial unless it is complete is a very dangerous one. In its worst application, it implies that only finished articles can be posted on Wikipedia. But, Wikipedia is a wiki: a collaborative editing environment designed to allow many editors to work together to create documents. If you disallow works-in-progress, then you defeat the whole purpose of the wiki. Wikipedia's goal is long-term. It costs us nothing to allow incomplete articles to wait for volunteers to come along and work on them (that's the central M.O. of a wiki). Something else that the nominator missed was that technology accelerates. The human genome project is an example of such acceleration. They took almost 10 years to sequence about 10% of the human genome, so experts were projecting that it would take 100 years to sequence the whole thing. Three years later it was within a few percent of being complete. What happened? Innovation happened. The same type of thing is likely to occur with respect to Wikipedia's knowledge indexes. Eventually, someone will figure out a way to do it faster. The mathematics department is already experimenting with automated indexing approaches, as they maintain a comprehensive collection of math lists. The nomination to delete this page is near-sighted in the extreme. Please vote it down by voting Keep. Thank you. Sincerely, – The Transhumanist 19:22, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't responding here but since you've brought up my "reasoning", I feel obligated. The logic used to debate the logic that I didn't use is flawed. This is an index, not a list, not a category. This is entirely self-referential, this is an index. The harm is quite clear, in that an index by its nature lists all things within a certain grouping. A "list of gaming topics" or some-such would be a list of all things that fit in that grouping in the world, and would never be complete. Lists don't need to be complete. An index, however, is Wikipedia telling readers that this is what we have on this topic. We are talking about the contents of Wikipedia, not the world at large, so it damn-well better be complete, or at least attempt to be complete. Otherwise it is wrongly labeled. If you want to rename it "list of whatever", feel free to suggest that. If we make it an index of lists, great. But don't pretend that we can call this an index of all game articles with a few hundred links, while WP:VG alone links to at least 50,000 articles (not to mention board games, RPGs, etc.). That is like making an article about all the people in the world that have ever swam, or an index of every article related to a person born after Shakespeare. There is no benefit to such an indiscriminate grouping, unless it encompasses more discriminate ones. To put it simply, there is no way this index could or should ever be completed, as an article that lists hundreds of thousands of other articles is completely useless to everyone. If this index were complete, it should still be deleted, as a giant mass of marginally-related words with no context and no value to anyone that has or will ever use the internet. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:44, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite huge blocks of unformatted text, there really isn't much here which explains what makes her notable. There are also few sources, and nothing inline, and this is a BLP, so it needs a complete rewrite if kept. I have concerns about the provenance of the image, as well.

COMMENT: What makes Vimla Patil notable? 1. She is the first woman journalist of India to achieve international success and to brand Femina, a Times of India publication, as one of the most popular and highest selling women's magazines.She edited Femina for 20 years, the longest career for an editor in India. 2.She made an awesome contribution to the promotion of equality and empowerment for millions of Indian women through education and economic self reliance by promoting improved laws. She promoted this empowerment through the Print media as well as Multimedia. 3.With the support of Indira Gandhi and the Indian Government, she promoted Indian textiles and garments internationally and popularized Indian hand-looms throughout the world, 4. She built the brand of Miss India and brought glory to the beautiful women of India. Many winners like Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra are now making headlines throughout the world.

Delete – Claims to notability seem to include journalism and publications. The coverage I found showed journalism ([23] [24] [25]) and cooking ([26]) careers mentioned in reliable sources, but I don't think multiple reliable third parties give this subject substantial, non-trivial coverage.

Comment – This subject's other claim to notability — Miss India — is well covered there.

Must Keep - the following citation by the publisher on the back cover of one of her books ' How to be Successful and Happy! Sixty-four tips from India's ancient wisdom', well covers Vimla Patil's noteworthiness in a nutshell: "VIMLA PATIL is one of the senior-most multimedia person and activist in India. As editor of Femina, India's number one women's journal, for over twenty-five years, she was responsible for turning Femina into a sweeping movement for Indian women's empowerment and progress for three decades. She helped promote Indian Textiles - specially handlooms and hand-done embroidery - through thousands of fashion shows in India and more than twenty-five countries of the world. After her career with Femina Vimla Patil wrote for innumerable journals and newspapers in India and several websites worldwide. She has scripted and directed sound and light shows, television shows, documentary films and written more than fifteen books, including memoirs of career as the editor of Femina. She continues to work ceaselessly for women's empowerment through workshops and seminars. She is an established writer of travel, culture, and heritage-based features for many top magazines in India". And this is only one of such citations Vimla Patil has received not only from publishers of her work but also from various Institutions and Organisations while receiving honors and awards for her work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.154.81 (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Might I refer this thread to pages 367 - 370 of Fritjof Capra's book - Uncommon Wisdom - Conversations with Remarkable People, wherein he describes his interactions with Vimla Patil and acknowledges the scope of her knowledge on seminal issues ... he then goes on in the same vein to meet Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, on Vimla Patil's suggestion, following on with an analysis of the two meetings in the context of women's issues in India in the 1970's. I daresay Mr. Capra (The Tao of Physics, etc.) would be defined as a reliable source. An English version of his interview with Mrs. Patil is to be found on pages 302 to 306 at http://awakenvideo.org/pdf/Collection%20Vol%20I%20A-G/Fritjof%20Capra%20-%20Uncommon%20Wisdom%20Conversations%20With%20Remarkable%20People%20%5BOCR%5D.pdf. Please note the language consistently used by Mr. Capra in describing Vimla Patil. Indeed, he directly attributes his meeting with Mrs. Indira Gandhi (which forms the basis of Chapter 8 of his book) to being inspired by his conversations with Mrs. Patil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.191.240.98 (talk) 10:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. There are two schools of the same name, one offering primary education and the other offering secondary education. The two websites can be seen here: http://www.descdubai.com/. It should be renamed as Dubai English Speaking College. There are independent sources such as the inspection report: http://www.descdubai.com/inspection_report/DESC%20INSPECTION%20REPORT%202010.11.PDF. It is quite unsual to find an English speaking school which also offers an Islamic education which makes the school notable in its own right. Dahliarose (talk) 17:12, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This article is specifically about the school. Check the EL and ref in the article. The school itself does not meet our notability criteria. There is, as you point out, a distinct entity which is the college. The college does indeed appear notable, and one could write an article about it, but that is not this article -- that would be a new article, with content and refs related to the college. IMHO.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

This one is very close to home, and some of my friends would have a COI deleting this article. But it doesn't meet any notability guidelines. No Blue Ribbon, fails the GNG (though it has five small-fry references), no reason to stick around. Raymie (t • c) 03:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The original nomination was four years ago. At the time the sources were added, and the AfD resulted in a no consensus-keep. However, the times have changed. Of the five references, one is the school's website, one is GreatSchools review, two come from the local Catholic newspaper, and one from the local newspaper. It's extraordinary national-level coverage that would keep a school article like this afloat, not the mundane reports of the Arizona Republic and Catholic Sun.

Question Isn't there an article on the diocese school system somewhere? If so, we should definitely redirect this there. I oppose a redirect to the city article, since this is a low-profile private school, not a well known one or a public school. Nyttend (talk) 14:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we also do that. Depends if the diocese has an article of course., but there's no harm in redirecting it t o the locality, even if it's a small or less well known school. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:44, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting to the locality presents issues here. Phoenix is so large, and Ahwatukee is only Phoenix with regards to city services (very different neighborhood, geographically separated, different area code!, etc.). I'd redirect to an Ahwatukee article over a Phoenix article. Also, the service area goes well beyond Ahwatukee to nearby Catholic parishes in Chandler and Tempe.

Appears to be non-notable, due to paucity of RS substantive coverage, lack of refs (tagged for that for 2 years now), and orphan status. Epeefleche (talk) 07:41, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He seems to have been prolific, but that in itself doesn't give him notability. Other than a potential interview in Time Out Beirut, I can't find anything other than various blog entries, routine notices of performances, and various pages listing what tracks he's done.

Redirect to Uintah School District or Roosevelt, Utah per standard procedure.

Delete, along with most other "_____ Christian School" articles without a high school. "_____ Christian School" is a name typically used by Protestants, who generally don't have comprehensive school systems like Catholics do, so there's generally nothing to which to redirect articles such as this one. I've never before heard of a school associated with the Assemblies of God (I'm sure there are others; it's simply that they likely don't have any notable ones), so I seriously doubt that they have a district or other grouping-of-schools with an article to which we could redirect this.
