Oh, no question that the Kingdom of Hawaii existed and was notable, so there indeed is an article on it. I have done some work on it if you notice.. I was not the one who first used the words "non-existent" in this discussion. And if, indeed, there were independent sources that documented a claim, then it would be notable, as it is for the articles you cited. But the burden of proof is on the Keepers to come up with such an independent source. If the article does not cite any, then it should go even if you "know it". Someone could always create a new article in the future if he grows up and does make a serious claim. Quentin himself is much more likely at this point, since he was elected etc. but even his article could use more. W Nowicki (talk) 17:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Within the last hour he has proposed three major astrological articles for deletion:
Babylonian astrology
Hellenistic astrology
Horoscopic astrology
...and declared on the main History of astrology talk page

I announce my intention to delete all unreferenced content from this page within seven days. This is in line with Wikipedia principles about verifiable content. Wikipedia pages are not sandboxes for personal opinions, views or discussions. Please add necessary citations for every assertion made.

He knows there is a committed group of editors working in an organised manner to review all of this content systematically, and is being wholly unreasonable to target such major content pages simultaneously, knowing that they are closely related in content and likely to involve the interest of the same group of editors who cannot be everywhere at one time. What are his motives in trying to destroy so much astrological content like this so suddenly, when these are valuable pages which require attention not deletion? I suggest the page is tagged with the issue that concerns him, and that he adds 'citation requests' for any quote or comment he feels could be challenged and is therefore in need of citation.

Previously prodded and removed by article creator, then re-prodded, so I'm moving the re-prod rational here: Doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines.

Help on citations is available at WP:REFBEGIN. The notability guidelines for people are available at WP:BIO, specifically, in this case, WP:AUTHOR. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 07:59, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The general notability guideline is useful reading for what we are looking for - significant coverage (ie not trivial, mere mentions or presence in a list) in independent (ie not publisher/employer/self-published) reliable sources (fact checked, not self-published, neutral, not promotional). It can be very difficult for marketing/business writers to meet this, as almost everything related to them is promotional, but book reviews in reliable sources (not "anyone can submit" websites) help, or profiles of the PERSON, not just his work or being quoted for his opinion, in reliable sources help immensely. To make it clear, I nominated the article as a procedural matter, as you can't be PRODDED twice, and do not have an opinion either way. But the bottom line is this is an encyclopedia that should be used to record the notable events and people, not just as a promotional website for someone trying to sell books.

Delete - this article has existed since January 2007 with no reliable sourcing establishing that the individual episode is notable. There are no such sources. The "sources" that were recently added are single-sentence mentions in books of several hundred pages which establish who directed the episode and the identity of one guest performer but otherwise do not cover the episode. The episode is not independently notable. Its status as an episode of a notable TV franchise does not make this individual episode notable by extension. The article should be deleted.

This is a career minor league player who fails WP:GNG by lacking significant coverage in multiple sources that is not WP:ROUTINE coverage. While he participated in the Pan American Games, there was no consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 8#Baseball participants in Pan American Games that this qualifies for presumed notability per WP:NSPORTS as a "major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level" for the sport of baseball (unlike the Olympics or World Baseball Classic). This person seems to be a WP:Run-of-the-mill minor league player not notable enough for a standalone article.

Note that the consensus of the previous AfD was to "Merge" to Los Angeles Dodgers minor league players, but the article was restored when he was released by the Dodgers. If he was not notable before when he was on a team, he should not be notable now that he is not on a team. —Bagumba (talk) 23:13, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable neologism. Of the four references, only one (a self-published blog) actually uses the term "Skutniks", and that particular link is a 404. The rest are simply primary sources to establish that a particular individual was mentioned in a State of the Union address.

More GNAA padding. Non-notable, non-profit organization. Doesn't even meet WP:GNG. Most of the "sources" are merely trivial mentions of the organization.

  • The associations were there when the nomination was made, as GNAA was a disambiguation page listing this as one of the ambiguous meanings.

Non-notable journal established in 2010. Article creation premature. After the article was de-PRODded, its creator added a statement that the journal has been published since 6 years in Russian, but its website does not show this. In any case, the absence of independent sources and apparent lack of indexing in any major selective databases mean that this does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Hence: delete.

  • On the Russian-language Wikipedia, is there an article for this journal? I could not find one. The existance of such a page does not mean that this page should/shoud not be deleted, but may shed some more light on notability. But, the LACK of such a page may add strength to your argument.

He wasn't an important or high-ranking officer and the only coverage of him is passing mentions as a result of being killed in the Evangelos Florakis Naval Base explosion. There's almost certainly no hope of expansion beyond a stub and he fails both WP:SOLDIER (the essay on notability for military personnel) and WP:ANYBIO (the Wikipedia-wide guideline for notability of people).

Disagree

Commander Lambros Lambrou was 1IC in command of Evangelos Florakis Naval Base, making him de-facto second in command of the Cyprus Navy with comparable rank to an Army Camp Commander (Battalion-level Colonel). I will endeavor over the coming weeks to source relevant and sourced biographical info as it becomes available. Regards Copperhead331 (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Colonels don't get articles by default, either. the few articles we have on colonels are usually pretty exceptional colonels. WP:SOLDIER says that only general officers are notable by virtue of their rank alone. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Me again (previously 83.71.99.69). Another point occured to me this morning. The Cyprus Navy Command, to which the Command of the Navy Base reported, consists of, as far as I can tell at this stage, the Head of the Navy, his office, and his staff. By at least some definitions, this would make Commander Lambrou also a member of the Navy's high command, since he was Captain Ioannides de-facto second in command. This would seem to add to the Commander's eligibility under criteria #4 of WP:SOLDIER. 83.71.98.198 (talk) 09:54, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just remembered something that might partially undermine my own argument in that regard. The Cypriot Navy is also known as 'The Cyprus Naval Command' of the National Guard. 83.71.98.198 (talk) 10:02, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. I've confirmed that The Cyprus Navy Command is a distinct entity. 83.71.98.198 (talk) 15:38, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Among other things, I've being trying to track down the original press release dealing with the Change of Command ceremony at Evangelos Florakis when Commander Lambrou took over. No luck so far.

I could not find any evidence from reliable sources that he even appeared as a solo musician on the Blues Series; also his name was not in several sources cited. I'm not saying he didn't actually perform, but I can't find any good source that says he did so. I am just asking for better sourcing before I support inclusion of this particular musician. I tend to be slightly more solicitious than the average Wikipedian, but not terribly so. Bearian (talk) 21:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've reviewed this article again, and come to the conclusion that I can't oppose it based on sourcing, because the soucing can be fixed under ordinary editing processes. I must agree that he barely passes notability. Weak keep. Bearian (talk) 21:27, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced the delete votes challenge his qualifying attributes. However, I can understand that the article should be improved. I do question why a couple of the references were removed (on the World Championship Piano site he is listed as a prior champion from 1994/1995). This contest has recognized for 36 years (see the Champions section). The link for Living Proof specifically listed him on the album. He was a member of 2 notable ensembles (Credits on the Library of Congress, PBS, appearances as an expert of his subject matter at universities, he also has several releases under his name, etc). I'm not sure that even if the questionable assertions are subtracted the entire article should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milwphil (talk • contribs) 17:31, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The following statement by S Marshall is presumptuous and adds no substance to the discussion: "..many of the sources have clearly been added in the hope of putting off good faith users from the long and thankless task of going through them in detail." Please qualify "good faith users." There is a suggestion in your statement that the author submitted the article as a "bad faith user". Is that your suggestion? Other individuals have responded with constructive criticism, which I responded to appropriately and have attempted to defend the notability of the subject/article. It is my hope that S Marshall's comments do not represent the collective Wikipedian community's tone. In the same regards, anyone can make unwarranted accusations of intent behind S Marshall's feedback (especially after emotionally discounting blog like comments as "it's a puff piece" "I want my half hour back"). The academic attempts to discredit the article by using Wikipedia guidelines should be considered. Please note there are valid references, some of which are included in accepted submissions on Wikipedia. Please note: Because there is someone else with his name (boxing referee) does not disqualify him.
Comment. Indeed I could verify under the list "Champions" that he he won the World Championship Piano in 1994 and 1995. The link needs to be researched, it won't appear as a separate url.

Seems to be an ad for a product? W Nowicki (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate: certainly using other serial protocols to create point-to-point Internet Protocol transport links is useful. I was involved with one myself in the 1980s. See Point-to-Point Protocol for example. But this just seems one of many, not very notable.

I can make no sense of the diagram. It just shows a bunch of waves going down some kind of cable with buzzwords. Does not seem to have anything to do with any kind of "protocol". Not even sure if the “Conductive Media” technology is supposed to be a joke, or is serious? Of course another word for "conductive media" is "wire". It is hardly notable to send data on a wire.

Original creator of the article was User:Pcntechnology who never edited any other articles except adding a link to the company that claims the service mark on this, PCN Technology, Inc.

No citations or references given, just four raw urls. First is an ad for the "Wayne Connect IP-485" which seems the actual product name. Second is an advertorial for the Wayne Connect on a trade web site for convenience stores. Third link is dead, but seems a reprint of the "Wayne" press release.

The result was merge to Cinderella_stamps#Political_and_propaganda_stamps. This was a difficult discussion to close as the article changed during the discussion, and opinions developed and shifted. I have taken note that as the article and discussion has developed there has built up a consensus to keep some of the material in some form. There have been suggestions that the material on designs in the form of postage stamps should be merged into Cinderella stamps#Political and propaganda stamps, and suggestions that material on genuine postage stamps which use images of anarchists should be kept as part of topical stamp collecting, perhaps renaming the existing article to Anarchism on stamps in line with Space exploration on stamps. I have also borne in mind the views that the sources for the topical stamp collecting are not very secure, and the view that the article as it stands is an insecure intersection of anarchism and postage stamps. There is an overwhelming consensus that the article as it stands is problematic, with 11 people asking for something to be done to it (and most of those asking for deletion), and only three people suggesting it can be kept. There is, as has been pointed out, a bit too much WP:Synthesis in the article for it to be kept. There are no sources at all dealing as a unified group with the assorted material found here. The search term “Anarchist stamp” has no accepted meaning, so that can be deleted, and material related to Cinderella stamps merged to Cinderella stamps#Political and propaganda stamps, while material related to topical stamp collecting is merged to Topical stamp collecting. I will do the merges, and will make the entire deleted article available on request to anyone interested in ensuring the merges have been done appropriately.

Doesn't meet notability criteria. Mentioned in very few sources (the two listed on the page being an out of print book about stamps from the Spanish Civil War generally and another book containing "16 portraits of anarchist luminaries - Godwin, Stirner, Proudhon, Goldman, Berkman, Herbert Read, Durruti, Bakunin, Louise Michel, Zapata etc - together with an essay by Colin Ward on anarchism and stamps, and an afterword by Clifford Harper on his own personal connections to the postal service").

The official government stamps were also designed by well-known anarchist Clifford Harper. The scope here is not loose at all, and there's a consistent theme of anarchists designing stamps about anarchists. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 16:50, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking over the article again, you are probably correct (I've also removed from the beginning that they were government-issued based on your insight).

That they would be considered a single "kind of topical stamp" is less than clear (portraits of anarchists versus anarchist slogans), and lacking a source -- the purported commonality appears more in the 'reason for stamp manufacture' -- and even there the differences are greater than the commonality (the mere shared political ideology) -- between the fanciful creation of stamps "for post-revolutionary post" and the pragmatic creation of stamps in the middle of a civil war, in order to keep some (presumably ad hoc) mail service running. This would be a little like lumping together Soviet-produced AK-47s together with some (communist) urban guerilla's home-made zip gun, and calling them Communist guns.

All the stamps shown on that page would be classed as "Cinderella stamps".

What exactly are we going to put in the Cinderella Stamps article? As a matter of fact it has been established that there is no such thing as an Anarchist Stamp so it is either delete or turn it into a topical article as Anarchism on Stamps.

I oppose merge to Cinderella or topicals as there is nothing to merge. The existance of anarchist stamps has not been proven. It can not be merged to topical stamps as inclusion will always be subjective and not based on fact. The information in the article as it stands is POV and OR and I have alreaded voted for deletion.--Dmol (talk) 22:50, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there is nothing to merge and I think the earlier summary of the consensus was wrong. The consensus actually is delete which I support, however, there is nothing wrong with turning it into a Anarchism on Stamps article as I am sure some stamps have been issued showing anarchist themes somewhere, or important figures in the history of anarchism, if others feel strongly that some of the content should be retained. In that respect it would be as valid as any other topical stamps article, although I am not a fan of topical collecting myself. Possibly that is what the article should have been to start with and what the creator intended? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:11, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comedian of questionable notability. Speedied three times already (twice at John J. Powers (actor, comedian), once here) but one editor keeps recreating, with little change each time. References are all primary sources. Google searches show no evidence of Emmy award outside Powers' own promotional material - in fact, a Google search for "John J. Powers" comedian brings back less than 70 unique results. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He has over 10,000 fans. Also I took away the reference to the Emmy until I can, and I will, substantiate it. There are 2 of his associates on this site that have never been challenged. I feel you are picking on me. I have rewritten this completely now.Jkinzler777 (talk) 16:13, 21 July 2011
I have taken all the comments about the previously deleted article and improved this article. I also contacted two of the administrators to let them know I'm giving another go.

Could whoever is suggesting all the citations identify themselves so we can discuss it? I think that is too much citation.
First off, read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Second, your "rewritten" is practically identical to the prior deleted versions. As for Laurie Kilmartin, she appears to be notable, with writing credits on major network shows, along with legitimate press coverage. Permanent Ability appears to have some notability due to some of its members and a connection to George Clinton. However, as that first link should have informed you, this is not relevant to a discussion about Powers. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:45, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok sir, I see you are making this personal. I just wanted to write a good article, not be offended by you. I hope others will join in the conversation. --Jkinzler777 (talk) 18:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One of the "two of John's friends," Permanent Ability, survived a deletion discussion so it may not be fully valid to say that they have persisted without consideration for their notability.

The result was no consensus. Whilst the Keep !votes are in the majority, a number do have quite weak rationales and border on WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. However, there are enough well-argued comments on both sides that no consensus is a reasonable close, I believe. Black Kite (t) (c) 01:00, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That search shows only 550 hits for me and your search is very poor as it returns every page on wikipedia which mentions or redirects to a list of bus routes - use the prefix: or intitle: search verbs to such as this to give more accuracy in your result (in this case closer to 90) and to guage consensus examine the results of a search limited to "prefix:Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion intitle:List of Bus Routes" where you will find that consensus is generally to delete, not to keep. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 05:18, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I checked it too and I got over 115 actual lists of bus routes, so I think they are quite notable and as already said, the standards are lower and GNG may not always apply (as possibly in this case) and per WP:5P, no one has to stick to all policies and guidelines.  Adam mugliston  Talk  06:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When you did that, I'm hoping that you discounted the 30 Odd that were created either by yourself or RCSprinter? That's right; about 1/3 of the articles you're using to justify "consensus" were created by 2 editors of which yourself are one? Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 10:07, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • If it is not a directory why does it have a section of notes about the routes which would only be of interest to someone wanting to use the routes?--Charles (talk) 08:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whether they are encyclopaedic or not might be debateable, but they don't make this a directory. The way forward when an article or list contains some material that may or not be encyclopaedic is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater but to discuss the matter with other editors on the talk page. Thryduulf (talk) 09:36, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Charles, I hope you're aware of what WP:DUCK points to, and consequently that you just accused an admin of six years with over 36,000 edits of sockpuppetry on the basis that he agrees with the position of some newer editors. Did you know that percentage-wise you have over ten time as much crossover with Stuart.Jamieson as Thryduulf does with any of the editors at the AfD? (It's clear that you aren't the same person, I'm just using this as an example of why your logic is nonsensical.) Perhaps the reason so many of these lists survive has something to do with your repeated failure to assume good faith with anybody you disagree with, a tactic well known to lose the support of neutral editors. Alzarian16 (talk) 20:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
London has been nominated twice, but there are two things that would discourage me from nominating again in the short term;
  1. Its already sourced to reliable secondary sources (which none of the other city, county or county towns are or can be) this makes it a notable subject unlike the other Bus Route lists.
  2. Currently many of the routes are blue linked which per WP:SAL is a valid navigational use of a list article. A series of AfDs to establish the notability of those route articles should take place before the list its self is taken to AfD.
If any of the lists were capable of getting to a standard where notability of either individual routes or the list as a whole then there would be no need for an AfD. Yet time and time again, excuses as to why these lists dont have to comply with our notability guidelines, or why these lists are not directories (despite WP:NOTDIR #4 Wikilinking to a definition of a directory as any database of information which is more frequently read than updated - which is exactly what these lists are.)
Other projects exist which are better fits for this kind of material, but this material does not belong in an ecyclopeadia - try wikia or wikitravel. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 10:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I thought many people reading the lists is a good thing. And buses don't change daily or weekly and rarely monthly, so there's no need for it to be updated more frequently than read.  Adam mugliston  Talk  10:38, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think any part of your statement actually stands up to scrutiny:
  • Surely every list article on Wikipedia is more frequently read than updated? List of sultans of the Ottoman Empire, a featured list (selected at random), certainly is.
  • There is a widespread consensus that most individual bus routes are not notable, which is why articles that list them don't have hundreds of blue links - many of the ones on the London list actually redirect back to the list. Not that navigation is the only reason to have a list - many lists contain information that is notable collectively but not individually (List of minor planets: 25001–26000 for example).
  • I disagree that "none of the non-London lists can be sourced to reliable secondary sources" (paraphrased from your comment at 10:53 today) - this was asserted at an AfD a few months ago (I can't remember which one) and it was quickly proven to be false. WP:BEFORE asks you to search for sources before nominating an article for being unverifiable, have you done this? Cambridgeshire County Council do not operate this service and they don't have any regulatory function for buses in Peterbourgh unitary authority, so I think it's clear that they are a reliable secondary source that verifies the information relating to that route. That took me 1 minute to find on my slow internet connection, so perhaps you'd like to retract your incorrect assertion?
  • Why would wikitravel want an encyclopaedic list about bus routes in Peterborough when they already have a travel guide that is far more useful for their target audience?
  • Just because a Wikia site exists for a topic doesn't mean that it doesn't also belong in Wikipedia - the existence of http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Main_characters doesn't mean List of Star Trek characters doesn't belong on Wikipedia.
  • "If any of the lists were capable of getting to a standard where notability of either individual routes or the list as a whole then there would be no need for an AfD". Actually, the notability of a list of bus routes in a sizeable, coherent geographic area (such as Peterborough) is clear - it's exactly the same notability as the lists of railway lines, stations, tramways, etc are in areas that are served by them. There is no deadline, and if people didn't have to keep defending the notability of the lists against the same arguments (proven incorrect each time) then they would be able to spend more time improving them.
Additionally, would you care to explain why this list is unencyclopaedic (I've shown that secondary sources exist, so don't bother with that argument) rather than why lists of bus routes in general are not notable. The latter has been clearly shown not to enjoy consensus every time it is brought up. Thryduulf (talk) 12:51, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Yes all lists are more frequently read than updated, the difference between the list here (And similar Bus Lists) and lists like List of sultans of the Ottoman Empire and List of power stations is that the latter two are not simply databases - both you and Adam focused on the wrong term in that definition. Lists on wikipedia should either serve as fully featured articles of a notable collection whose elements may (or may not) be individually notable or they should serve as a navigational device - they should never exist simply to copy or create a new database hence we have notdir and hence it applies here as this is just a simple database (much as you all might want to wikilawyer around notdir).
  2. The London Links redirect back to the list because of a cull which removed many of the non-notable routes and redirected them back to the list however removing individual notability does not make them collectively notable.
  3. This was never proven to be false at AfD by anyone other than those wishing to keep - and neutral parties at the RfC disagreed that the sources given were secondary. There are two options here either a) Cambridge council is repeating verbatim content from a primary source which does not make it secondary as it is still the original primary source just repeated verbatim by a third party. or b) Cambridge council has compiled it's own database of bus information which makes it an independent primary source but still a primary source. For a Secondary source there has to be "generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information." that hasn't been shown in any of the sources presented at any of these AfD's and claiming that they secondary shows a clear misunderstanding of how sources are used in research. Without this there is no notability for this or any other bus route list article, by contrast Railways, Trams, Highways by being massive Civil Engineering Projects; generate vast quantities of secondary sourced material that is easily presented here.
  4. Show me Encyclopaedic content within the list ( I still don't see it) it is a database that I have yet to see repeated in any Encyclopaedia (even Pears which is the most likely to include list like information of this sort) If wiki travel don't want it then it looks like you're limited to wikia but it's worth trying them first.
  5. That is still a notable subject so deserves to be in wikipedia, a quick search reveals tons of books discussing the subject - however if something is not notable it should be removed from wikipedia and placed on wikia like thes lists of Bus Routes.
  6. It's clear to you and a few others like you and the time period between challenges is regularly more than a month during which time no improvement ever occurs - with the same editors creating more of these lists (when challenged recently on the fact that one of the lists was unsourced the editor responded with; "no-one told me this list had to be sourced" despite having participated in several AfD's for other lists where sourcing was brought up as an issue.
In short this list in unencyclopaedic because it is not notable (having no secondary sources despite your claims) it forms a database of routes rather than an actual article failing WP:NOTDIR, it lists all travel route information with no consideration of which routes are notable failing WP:NOTTRAVEL, I see no evidence that these databases are useful to readers (in comparison to a properly written prose article about the bus network in Peterborough) and it is not useful for in-wikipedia navigation so it fails the Common selection criteria of Wikipedia:SAL, Also per WP:PRODUCT if these bus companies are notable then the routes hould generally be included in the article on the company itself, unless the company article is so large that this would make the article unwieldy (in which case the list should be one of that company's routes not geographically broken down) If the company is not notable then the route should not be included unless the route itself has enough notability to create a article. Do you want me to go on? Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 20:00, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where not just an Encylopaedia. Tell what printed encyclopaedia, would have policies and guidelines printed in it. Or what one would allow humorous content in it. Or, most importantly, one that allows anyone to add content to it. We're more than a basic encylopaedia. We include many other things, that would have no place in an encyclopaedia. So, why have you got such a problem, with this very small proportion of Wikipedia, that doesn't disturb anyone and compared to other things that don't need to be here, takes up hardly any space? Why do you consider trams, planes, trains, boats to be encyclopaedic and not buses? Every single train route, even one that is not operational anymore, has it's own article. Yet, if I want to create a list of bus routes in a particular area, you want to delete it and I'm not even talking about having an article for every bus route. So, what have you got to justify that?  Adam mugliston  Talk  20:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You make a mistake Adam, Our policies and guidelines are not printed in our Encyclopaedia, that's why they are retained in a separate namespace along with user content and humorous content. Please don't mistake my intentions either; many train lines may become notable because of coverage of the civil engineering behind it or the history of it - this does not make every service(route) on that line notable and we do not cover every service(route) on every line (even where services overlap on the same line) let alone individual trains. So comparisons with the train system are very difficult to uphold - the closest would be the assertion that the roads on which your bus routes run are notable but the routes themselves are not. For instance try searching comparable terms "Edinburgh Train" "Edinburgh Tram" "Edinburgh Bus" the first two return swathes of engineering, archaeological, Historical, News reports and Sociological documents on each of the systems. The latter returns some casual mentions in guidebooks and a rare local newspaper mention of a single route disruption - the routes have not been noted in any substantial way by any substantial work so we do not consider them a notable subject and we should not have an article on them outwith our coverage of Lothian Buses and First Edinburgh (which are independently notable). Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 23:59, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"we do not cover every service (route) on every line" - Yes, we do. Every single service is accounted for somewhere (in many places usually) on Wikipedia with its frequency. And how come, all train stations (even ones that only get 35 people using it a year) are on Wikipedia, yet a bus stop (which gets 10,000s of people a day), is not? Bus stops also get relocated, services change there. You're right, there aren't many sources on buses, but then we research it well and the information is here, easier for people to find. Why are buses so much worse in your mind? We have every, aeroplane service here, every tram service (with all stops and frequency), why not bus?  Adam mugliston  Talk  07:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PROVEIT - I know that our article on my local train line only mentions the line and the construction of a recent connecting line, Not detailing which routes use the original line, and which use the new connecting line. Nor does it detail the express routes with a reduced stop frequency so I find your claim that "Every single service is accounted for somewhere (in many places usually) on Wikipedia with its frequency." to be a broad generalisation at minimum and possibly a blatent falsehood. Equally I should point out that for a regular frequency day service (with hourly night service from 1-5am), you would still have to have a minimum of 120 passengers continually using the stop every 15 minutes to meet your 10,000s claim which while plausible doesn't happen at any stop in the UK (possibly a bus station, but such a station should be notable in its own right.) As for your last question - it's the wrong question ask why don't buses routes get the same coverage in any other media? Why have the BBC created several travel series about rail journeys and none about bus journeys? why for every "Speed" does Hollywood make a dozen "Unstoppable"s? Why are children fed a diet of Anthropamorphic train series such as Thomas and Chuggington but Anthropamorphic buses only ever play supporting roles in TV shows? If you can draw a sociological trend from those questions, perhaps you can understand why researchers and writers have failed to generate the same reliable secondary about bus routes that exist for tain lines? Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 12:55, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Proof no.1 [14]
Proof no.2 [15]
Every train station has an article, with all the services calling and passing there with its frequency - no need for me to give links for that. As for busy bus stops, you really think any bus stop in Piccadilly Circus doesn't get 10,000 people a day? This is not based on any statistic, but as that I have been to London many times, I can assume: Let's use the stop on the north side of Regent Street, for buses towards Trafalgar Square etc. 11 day services use that stop. On average buses run 8 times an hour, meaning that that stop recives 88 buses an hour. Onto every bus, on average about 20 people will either get on or off. That's 88x20 = 1760 people an hour. Now daytime services run about 17 hours per day, so 1760x17 = 29920 people a day. 8 night services use the stop. These run on average 3 times an hour each, giving 24 services an hour. These services won't get more than 8-10 people using the stop per service. So 9x24 = 216 people an hour. Night services run for 7-8 hours a night. 216x7 = 1512 people a night. Now, add the two figures, 29920+1512 = 31432 people using the bus stop every 24 hours. I know these aren't particularly accurate, but I can't be far off. If you still don't believe I'll take the liberty of actually analysing every bus route stopping to give you a very accurate number, but reading the complete analysis could take a long long time. So tell me, how come a bus stop that 31,000 people use a day is not notable enough, but a station with 40 people a year is?  Adam mugliston  Talk  13:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Great you show two examples and extend them, claiming that not only does every station article in the whole UK but every station covered on Wikipedia, even though we have plenty of articles that do not do this. Just in the UK I can think of Criccieth_railway_station, Edinburgh_to_Dunblane_Line, and Stirling_railway_station,_Scotland do not do this though there are probably plenty more. Also while you are right about the number of buses through Regent Street an average of 20 is a high turnover based on buses that hold around 45 seated passengers that means at least 25% of the seated capacity will get off and be replaced for every bus that stops at that stop - while this might hold true for some buses during a short while at peak times it isn't going to hold true on average and again I ask for evidence that 120 people actually use the stop during every 15 minute period of the day - this could be requested from Transport for London through FOI. Transport for London's own statistics suggest that averaged per route/stop less than 850 people get on/off at any single stop in any one day. That would make it 6-7,000 for Regent Street North on a single day at most and averages to only 3 or 4 people getting on/off each bus that stops there - but you can make the request if you want to prove me wrong. Either way a station that 40 people stop at is notable because researchers and historians have written works about it - a bus stop that could have 1,000,000 stopping there a day but unless people have actually made note of it in reliable sources then it's just a post in the ground with a sign at the top - possibly with a plastic/metal leanto attached. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 19:07, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Minor correction: the BBC have made some programs about bus routes. This documentary about London Buses route 31 and this episode of Excess Baggage about Swindon's route 49 last year spring to mind. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:41, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes individual programmes do exist (as they also do about trains, and Trams) but my point was generally the media is less interested in the bus as a form of transport (which is probably a shame as there are probably equally interesting stories to tell), even newspapers tend to make only passing mention of substantial bus network reorganisation but will heavily report on a new rail link or tram network being constructed.

Comment I have serious concerns over the reasons for raising this AfD, and the behaviour of some of those supporting it. As has already been noted, it was nominated for deletion only four months earlier, by Charlesdrakew, and no stronger or even different rationale for deletion has been provided than that occasion. More concerningly, this current nomination came exactly two minutes after Simple Bob intervened in an edit war on the article about colour schemes, where Charlesdrakew had already reached 3RR. Disagreements about colour schemes are not a good reason for frivolous AfD nominations as a form of retaliation. More concerningly still, the attempts to demean the article authors as "anoraks" (a derogatory term - look at a dictionary) or as "trainspotting" or "planespotting" is unseemly and not appropriate for a collaborative editing environment - trains and planes are not mentioned in the article at all, they have no relevance. Further, this comment could very well be seen as a personal attack, and at the very least its tone is entirely inappropriate. Responding to an expression of concern about it by demanding that expression of concern should be struck, followed by threats that "I may well take this to ANI", is an indication that Charlesdrakew at least has lost track of acceptable standards of behaviour. Replying to other editors with farmyard noises, as Charlesdrakew has also done more than once, is another hint that all may not be well. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:04, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The last AfD closed on "No Consensus" rather than "Keep", as such no Stronger or Differrent rationale needs to be provided as the effect is similar to normal relisting in order seek further consensus on the raised objections - WP:BEFORE is specific about checking that the raised objections were addressed in the previous AfD as they were not in this case, there is no issue. Bob was not involved in the last AfD and is well within his rights to question the existence of the article independent of the colour issue. wikt:anorak is not derogatory, and trying to present it as such is clutching at straws, it is slang and means someone obsessed with a subject but not as a term of offense (I use it often as a personal show of pride in my own knowledge/abilty) Having regularly had to deal with Bus Spotters in my line of work I appreciate that they do exist, but I also understand that for others plane/train spotter are more recogisable terms for transport fans and should be seen in the nomination as comparable to buses. The comment is meant to identify this list as one of limited general interest I'm not going to comment on the in AfD behaviour of any participantants but leave that up to the closing admin to consider alone, but I will say that your delete rationale is questioning the behaviour of all editors who vote delete and that may be seen as a personal attack.Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 05:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • To my reading, these articles do not fail WP:NOTDIR as they are not directories. They do not include full lists of streets served, or all stops. You could not use this to look up times, schedules or as a substitute for information from the bus company.
  • They certainly do not fail WP:NOTTRAVEL. This isn't information you would find in a travel guide, which would include recommendations, prices, times, regularity and reviews of the service. It's quite simply not a travel guide at all.
  • Per WP:Five Pillars, a summary of Wikipedia's most important principles, Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia but also a gazetteer. This means that it should include information about places and their infastructure, such as bus routes.
  • The notability guideline we should be concerning ourself with is WP:LISTN, which states that the list should be notable as a whole, the items need not be. There is more than one secondary source on this article which discuss the topic, so I think it does pass notability.
It is important to evaluate the articles on a case by case basis, though nominating so many in one go and not grouping is not helpful. I'm also unimpressed by some of the borderline personal attacks and certainly uncivil comments I've seen on this thread. I ask that due consideration is given by all parties to attempt to diffuse the situation. WormTT · (talk) 09:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
question above you claim "There is more than one secondary source on this article which discuss the topic, so I think it does pass notability." Did you actually check the sources? [16] is about national transport strategy and only makes passing mention of Peterborough, [17] (and associated pdfs) is about national transport strategy and provided passenger statistics about 12 routes in Peterborough there is no depth of coverage from which notability of all the routes could be drawn - not only that the source doesn't appear to support the statements it used to reference. That leaves two passing mentions in local press about one or two routes. There are no secondary sources here that suggest this collection is notable by any definition of notability that we use on Wikipedia specifically not by LISTN or CORP (if routes are taken to be a service provided by a bus company). At the same time I disagree with your assessment of a directory - If I look at the directory in an office block it can range from giving me the name of a business and what room its in to a complicated listing giving floor, section, room number, telephone number, what business sector they trade in, etc. To say that this is not complex enough or detailed enough to form a directory suggests a false concept of what a directory is, WP:NOTDIR may give examples of more detailed directories but it also links to a definition of a directory that is simple which this list is. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The definition of "directory" you seem to be using defines every list on Wikipedia, and as you are not claiming every list on Wikipedia should be deleted per WP:NOTDIR you're going to need to find a definition that actually discriminates between those lists you want deleted and those you don't. Thryduulf (talk) 00:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually no - every list on Wikipedia does not fall into this criteria - Specifically featured lists are expected to be composed of Prose so if they reach that standard then they would not fit the definition of simple databases, as are other Prose articles on multiple subjects such as List of minor characters in Dilbert. Similarly any article that serves another encyclopaedic function such as Navigation, Disambiguation, and Categorisation can be excluded as they are not article content. Once you exclude those sort of lists the aren't many left, but you then have to exclude those that are spun out from prose articles such as Discographies and Filmographies which exist only where they are WP:UNDUE within the article on the artist and they exist solely to detail content from the parent article. The end result is very few and the regular reason for deletion at AfD of lists of non-notable Wind Turbines, Hotels, Cinemas, and Bus Routes. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding of a directory (which is similar to Wiktionary) is a complete (or attempted complete) listing of data, for the express purpose of making information easy to look up (eg a phone book or a bus time table). I wouldn't call these articles directories any more than I would the other lists on wikipedia (for example Filmographies or Discographies), as Thryduulf points out. It's much closer to a stand-alone gazetteer listing and if it can be shown to be notable as a set then I'm certain it should be included in the 'pedia.
As for the sources, The Times is a national newspaper, which is discussing a pilot scheme trying to get people to use more buses, including the Peterborough area. A government report, which is about national strategy, but discusses each area individually. And two local reports discussing the Peterborough bus routes. I'd say that's 4 sources which are discussing in more depth than just mentioning. What's more, I have a hunch (though no evidence) that specialist bus magazines, which I know exist, probably discuss the different routes - not sufficient on it's own, it is worth noting. WormTT · (talk) 17:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's good you point out Filmographies or Discographies because on the whole policy is to include these lists within the biography of the artist (as we do with lists of products/services in relation to corporate entities such as Bus Companies)we only spin them out if their inclusion in the parent article is detrimental to that article (as happens for artists with prolific careers) as such I would have no problem with route information existing within the operator's article just not as a standalone directory.
The pilot scheme was to reduce car use and while increase Bus transport was part of that the article itself is focused strongly towards walking rather than Bus transport hence the title "Feet, Feet, Feet" and the focus on the increase in walking (greater than the increase in bus use), then we have the report - even if it did discuss all the routes in Peterborough as a collective group (it doesn't just a small subset of the routes) does any single study alone (particularly where the study focuses on the locality in order to draw conclusions about the whole nation) give notability to the sector it studies? This study for instance also discusses Cycle Routes within Peterborough, walking routes within Peterborough, Car sharing within Peterborough, School Buses within Peterborough all of these could be considered to be gazetteer material (yet I only know of one specialist gazetteer that covers Bus routes where cycle and pedestrian routes are more likely to be found in general gazetteers) if an article about footpaths in Peterborough comes to AfD, would you vote the same way for keeping it, based on this same source? Out of interest, do you know why is it that we have so many of these lists for English Counties and towns but have nowhere near as much coverage for the rest of the world generally (although exceptions exist) only ever covers major population centres - in fact I can only see the UK counties/towns/cities and two lists of Estonian Bus Routes (Tallinn and Tartu) that have metropolitan populations of less than 1,000,000 - all other bus route list articles are at least over this which just serves to highlight how these articles stand out.

"I understand the terms of notability and verifiability and am seeking your advice in meeting these elements.

The football club has been in existence for ten years and has served many 100's of children and families over that time. The club is the largest organisation within this community. Derry Hill Utd is one of only five football clubs within Wiltshire who have achieved the FA's independently ratified quality mark of Charter Standard Community Club.

Members of the Club frequently receive FA and community awards for their work enhancing the well-being and experience of young children. The Chair is regularly contacted by BBC Wiltshire Radio to comment on a number of topics; children's football development, parental behaviour and support, community volunteering and support.

Please offer advice on whether the above helps address notability/verifiability."

Moreover there is no indication that this is anything more than a news story; while it is noted that there is a Parliamentary investigation, Wikipedia does not exist to speculate or presuppose - if it can be shown that there is widespread coverage, or the investigation later raises this event above the level of a mere news story, we can have an article.

Delete. Four of the seven references are to the subject's own personal blog. Her main "claim to fame" seems to be that she received brief (and somewhat limited) national media attention for Tweeting about her miscarriage as it was happening. She has published one book, but even it doesn't seem too notable, as it is barely in the top 300,000 for sales on Amazon.com.
In the "Works" section of this article, it lists:

  • Yahoo! Finance - hasn't published anything there in about 3.5 years
  • Boston Globe - hasn't published anything there in a little over 3 years
  • Bankrate.com - a search of the site returns no results for "Penelope Trunk"

Her only other apparent bit of notability is that she briefly (one season, 18 years ago) played professional beach volleyball under the name Adrienne Roston, but her career appears to have been pretty non-notable.
There's no small number of people these days who have blogs with small to moderate readerships and/or brief, unremarkable athletic careers. Is Wikipedia going to have bios for all of them?
--Entrybreak (talk) 16:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I did a little more research on her. She has also written some fiction under the name Adrienne Eisen that she first self-published to the Internet, and then published in book form through a vanity press. My feeling is that this still doesn't bring her up the level of notability that warrants a Wikipedia bio page, thus I stand by my vote to delete.

  • I don't know and I'm not sure how that's relevant. If being a columnist is significant to her notability, the fact that it's in the past or present is immaterial. Gamaliel (talk) 13:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nowhere in the guidelines can I find a provision that says that simply being a published author or a columnist is sufficient to establish notability. Lexis/Nexis hits are like WP:GOOGLEHITS and are also not useful. To establish notability requires reliable independent secondary sources WP:RS and there aren't any beyond the WP:ONEEVENT coverage of her tweet. Msnicki (talk) 02:06, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nowhere in the guidelines can I find any support for a claim that any of this means the subject is notable. See WP:POPULARPAGE for more on why page stats are not useful. Lots of people write two books, lots of people blog and lots of people appear from time-to-time on TV. But without reliable independent sources offering significant coverage, none of that is sufficient to establish notability. Msnicki (talk) 02:06, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ephemeral project. Most of the article devoted to a discussion of the current state of the problem, reasons why this project should be done, etc. Most of it seems to be original research or, at best, synthesis. No reliable third-party sources about the project (most "references" in the article are about other subjects and don't even mention this article). De-PRODded by article creator, who commented on my talk page that "this is a preparatory action, so its impact can not be assessed right now, but in years to come after several more actions and outputs", which violates WP:NOTCRYSTAL.

    Delete all three - three non-notable fictional characters from a defunct TV series. There are no sources that establish that any of these characters are notable. Two of the articles have had sourcing requests for over three years, but none will be forthcoming because they don't exist. Sources that do exist merely mention the characters and are limited to such things as "Bebe Neuwirth, who played Tracey Kibre on Trial by Jury" and don't establish notability.

    This isn't a vote, so it doesn't really matter whether your "vote has changed" or not. The deletion rationale was that there are no secondary sources to establish notability. If none are added then that rationale is obviously valid, especially given that Wikipedia's Law and Order fans are aware of this AfD and have a whole week to add sources. "No time limit" is not a reason to keep stubs with inadequate referencing as separate articles: the correct solution here is quite obviously to merge to the list article, and if sources are found in the future it can be re-split.

When you discussed " no real notabilty" maybe you need to re-read the article, this band has members from international known acts. this is a proper recording band. the Album artwork was done by Felipe Machado Franco, an elite renown artist for major label bands, this is our artwork the band PAID for, so this belongs to us, and as such has been placed here.

    This article (created by Hjaf (talk · contribs)) contains a long list of printed references, however, it is impossible to verify its content with the help of independent online resources, and I don't believe that the listed sources back up the content of our article. Why? I was a bit surprised when I found four articles with identical list of references, including all details, such as paging. The other articles have been created by Shajaf (talk · contribs):

    1. Mahmoud Jaff Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
    2. Mohammed Jaff Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
    3. Dawood Jaff Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
    4. Zaher Jaff Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
    5. Jaff Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

    There's no evidence (aside from the copypasted list in our articles and two unreliable external links) confirming that the people are notable for Wikipedia. I suspect conflict of interest and possibly a sockpuppetry (note the similarity between the articles and usernames of the creators: Shajaf (talk · contribs), Hjaf (talk · contribs)). I'm including all the articles in this AfD nomination, as I think there's a significant similarity between the articles. However, I'll create separate discussions if objected.

    Delete all - We can add another article, (Jaff), to the list. It too was written by Shajaf (talk · contribs) and contains the identical list of references, as seen in this edit. Also, the edit is dated 10th June, therefore the list had to have been copypasted to Sardar Jaff, as seen in this edit, which is dated 18th June, eight days later. The same refrence list was copypasted to the Mahmoud Jaff article, also on the 10th June, as seen in this edit, and again to Zaher Jaff. as seen here. With the best good faith Shajaf can be said to have intentionally copypasted a bunch of references, however detailed and scholarly, to several articles to which they do not relate, ergo none of the six articles is credible, but most particularly Sardar Jaff, which got the ref list eight days later than the rest. As for sockpuppetry, it might be simply that Shajaf/Hjaf are quite innocently one new editor unsure as to what name to edit under and so no deception is intended. This is suggested by the fact that all five of Shajafs articles were substantially written on the 7th june, then Hjaf's single article is written on the 18th, a possible interim change of name. As for the conflict of interest, it would seem Shajaf/Hjaf is /are member/s of the Jaff tribe. It would seem to me acceptable that a tribe member write about the tribe as long as NPOV is maintained.

    Comment - it is not that the references are printed - they are probably all sound references - but references to what, and to which article particularly? As things stand one might as well write an article about pink wool and cut and paste the same references. It is that they are being applied to all the articles irrespective of content that renders both references, and subsequently the articles, unsupportable. MarkDask 11:47, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm, it looks that the list of sources is copy-pasted directly from the article Jaff tribe. It is someone's attempt to push their family history to Wikipedia. I would agree with redirecting the article Jaff, but I disagree with keeping/merging the other articles, unless a really good and reliable source comes up. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:42, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems from the record of Jaff tribe edits, going back to 16th April, as here, that Vejvančický is right - the references were cutandpasted from that date. - This means the entire Jaff series is suspect. Shajaf's talkpage demonstrates that his articles were suspect very early - but nothing came of the prods. I think Hjaf/Shajaf/ has had other names, but the raw fact is the copypasted refs for the entire Shagaf/Hjaf series of articles - as listed - are duplicitiously imported, possibly to cover a significant copyvio, as suggested here and here.

    The result was delete. There seems to be fairly clear consensus that this article is inappropriate, primarily because of the vagueness of its title, which doesn't (from what the commentators here have indicated) line up with any system of categorisation used anywhere else in the world. As such, there are some serious notability concerns (and yes, lists also have to pass notability).

    Huh? It only contains a list of book titles. What original research or facts are you referring to?   Will Beback  talk  05:32, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Probably the fact of inclusion would constitute original research; each entry should have a reliable source saying "Boox XYZ portrays sexual relations between minors and adults", and if not should be removed. If an editor reads a book and says to himself "Hmmm, this book portrays sexual relations between minors and adults, I think I'll add it to the list" this would be allowable iff it is prima facie uncontestably and incontravertibly true. However, the concepts "portray", "sexual relations", and "minor" can be slippery especially when one is dealing with a work of fiction, so few books would meet this criterion, probably, except for works of explicit pornography.

    None of these subject headings cover the title of this article.  I conclude that the world at large does not consider this topic notable.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    But the fact that Library of Congress does not classify books by the title of the article doesn't make it non-notable. I am sure there is no "Subject Heading: Goose Harbour Lake", however, there may be something in the library of congress which deals with that lake. In fact the fact that there are so many books in the LoC probably shows the exact opposite of your irrational conclusion. Beta M (talk) 15:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Based on my limited knowledge of logic...I agree that the process of induction is not a form of proof, and that I have not proven that the topic is non-notable.  However, I have induced that the topic is non-notable.  Claiming that this conclusion is "irrational", without evidence, seems to be a logical fallacy called proof by assertion.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:45, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, all you've done is shown that the Library of Congress (one of many classification schemes) doesn't use this title to group works of fiction. It doesn't show, prove or induce anything about the topic at all. Thryduulf (talk) 03:07, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I am also showing that the topic is not referenced by the sources in the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 09:43, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    No, you are showing the title isn't. The inclusion criteria are apparently "any of {1, 2, 3}" where 1, 2 and 3 are the subject headings you note above. When we have a grouping of notable topics we have to determine whether the grouping is appropriate or not, but even if it isn't it doesn't mean that the topic is not notable. In this case, I don't think the grouping is appropriate because it's too loose, however this is because it's too difficult to determine what is and isn't included. It is not shown by your list.

    Do you have any evidence of his notability? Our notability guidelines call for multiple sources presenting non-trival coverage of the subject and since there is so far only one reference according to standards the subject is not yet proven to be notability. Obviously there is a difference between subject not being notable and simple being not well sourced so finding extra references would be the best way to demostrate this person does in fact meet the notability guidelines. --76.66.188.209 (talk) 06:04, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Duty-free specialist says Chinese tourist spending soars
    (AFP) – 1 day ago
    PARIS — Chinese travellers nearly doubled their spending on tax-free goods in 2010 to 1.3 billion euros ($1.84 billion), tax-free transaction specialist Global Blue said Tuesday.
    The firm, owned by Barclays Private Equity and a leader in processing duty-free purchases, said in a statement that in the 12 months to March it handled 16.3 million traveller transactions, up 29 percent, and 5.7 million currency transactions, up 4.2 percent.
    Seems to me that at the very least Global Blue should be tucked into our Barclays article. Yopienso (talk) 05:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    It has a superabundance of sources: 16 cites and 23 external links. Yopienso (talk) 22:31, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, half of them are primary sources from Global Blue itself. Most of the rest simply mention Global Blue in passing, regarding their expertise in finance and tax-free shopping markets. It needs more Tertiary sources reporting on Global Blue specifically. --BETA 11:54, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    As I mentioned in the nomination. Substantial coverage in independent reliable sources is required. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Featured by major travel guide. An article by another travel guide printed both by ABC News and USA Today. Another travel guide. Another. Another. Along with the quote in AFP and the mentions in FT, plus the value of the company, I'm convinced Global Blue is notable. It seems to be a niche business--a large, important, world-wide, notable one--that maybe a only small percentage but still large number of world travelers is aware of. It seems and financial and travel advisors are fully aware of it. Yopienso (talk) 05:56, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    You fail to understand what substantial coverage means - one line mentions in travel guides do not count. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:37, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps I do not understand; any tutoring on my talk page would be welcome. My interpretation of Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material means that when FT quotes Global Blue as an authority, it gives it notability. My interpretation of The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources means mention in every international guide I've consulted "adds up" to sigcov. In other words, just one wouldn't hack it, but half a dozen do. Also, the article here is entirely about Global Blue.
    Meanwhile, may I suggest to the editor who created the Global Blue article that s/he insert it into the one on Barclays, where its inclusion would not be debated. Yopienso (talk) 18:20, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Plus, even if Tommy Newberry does meet the notability guidelines, the article about him doesn't meet the "biography" guidelines. It doesn't have any info about the gentleman's birthday, educational background, or professional experience. All it contains is a 2-sentence endorsement that looks like it came off the back of one of his books. Presumably someone could have added more relevant info if his/her agenda was something other than marketing Tommy Newberry's material.

    These article should be deleted because it's clearly an advertisement rather an effort to create a real article AND no one has demonstrated that the subject is notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlchan29 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
