Nominating on behalf of User:Ivyleague100 who originally raised the matter at WP:DRV and I have referred it here. I am neutral. —S Marshall T/C 22:23, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Stubbify but keep, hopefully with better sourcing. I share the nominator's concern about the marketing tone of the article coupled with poor sourcing. I also suspect there are reasonable sources to be found on this organization - I couldn't find them with a quick google check myself, though someone with hospitality industry expertise might be able to. If that is the case, stubbing and removing the huge list of member properties, leaving just a for-instance reference to 3-4 member hotels that are notable in their own right, is likely a better solution than deletion. Martinp (talk) 22:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC) (amusingly sitting at a desk in one of the member hotels as I write this, and no the brochure on the bedside table is not a good source).[reply]

  Update: This article in a refereed journal, behind a paywall for me, probably is sufficient to write a non marketing speak article on this entity. And given their scale and presence, they probably deserve an article - just rather different than what we have now. Martinp (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I have altered the article by chopping off all the superfluous material. As I said in my edit summary, this article still needs work, but it is a real hotel chain, and I see no reason not to give it an article. --Djohns21 (talk) 23:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not sure they're an actual hotel chain; I'm going to copy and paste the comment that Ivyleague100 made at DRV below.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you consider this a notable organization????? This company doesn't even own hotels and is not a hotel brand. It's only a marketing organization to which hotels subscribe and this page is simply an advertising exercise for a company that in its own Mission Statement (http://corp.lhw.com/default.aspx?page=94) claims to be "the most successful luxury hotel sales, marketing, and distribution company in the world." It doesn't offer any notable content. More importantly, by advertising in Wikipedia the hotels that subscribe to its services, this organization is very simply exploiting Wikipedia, its contributors and its readers.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivyleague100 (talk • contribs)

• Comment I think the article needs to clarify that the subject is a group, not a hotel chain, in a sense. It's a group of hotels that sign up to be promoted by this organization. The organization is still very notable, but it needs to be pointed out better in the article. Silverseren^C 06:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It seems easy to find satisfactory sources for this such as Tourism marketing: a collaborative approach. Warden (talk) 06:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The 2nd paragraph of the above link confirms this is a marketing, advertising and public relations company. In October 2008 the Wikipedia article on this organization contained details concerning a marketing controversy - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Leading_Hotels_of_the_World&oldid=242426912 (2 October 2008) and in 2009 it contained several facts relating to Trademark proceedings and subsequent court rulings - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Leading_Hotels_of_the_World&oldid=296544849 (15 June 2009). The court rulings relating to this company are interesting, in particular the WIPO decision of 2002 http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2002/d2002-0241.html. If this article is kept then these facts should not be omitted. If this organization were listed in any other encyclopedia, details concerning events in this organization's history would be included. Removing negative facts to present only the pretty side of the company's history is misleading and inaccurate. If the article is kept then it should be factual and accurate, otherwise it should be deleted. Ivyleague100 (talk) 22:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There's sometimes an unfortuante assumption that organizations with a publicity-oriented name are inherently either non-notable, or that a publicity-free article cannot be written about them. Both are false, as the sources for this prove. DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Neutral, independent sources have been supplied and shown. The question is not whether the article is currently advertorial, but whether a neutral article can be written from non-interested sources. The answer to the latter question seems to be yes, so the article can be salvaged. Except for copyvios, BLP violations and vandalism, articles should only be deleted if an article by that title on that topic should not exist, and this hotel organization is not non-notable. I think the idea behind the organization screamed "Promo!" to many; just a hunch. Guideline & Policy Wonk (talk) 00:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. In the expectation that this debate will likely be closed as keep, I have added information - and the reference - from the book that Warden references above. I think we now have a decent slightly-better-than-stub article which is not overly promotional. I have not added the items referred to by Ivyleague100. Their were correctly removed from the article previously as being negative in tone and unreferenced. The 19.84 snafu does not appear to be notable - I have found no mentions of it since the event in question (so the dire warning about who knows what it might lead to appears to have been a false alarm) and a screwed up implementation of a marketing campaign several years ago does not seem worthy of mention - nor does a garden-variety dispute over possession of a web domain. Martinp (talk) 16:53, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - In its current form, this is a short, neutral article about a notable business organization (founded in 1928!). I added a reference to its profile at Bloomberg Businessweek. --Orlady (talk) 21:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I declined a BLP Prod for this article because sources were added, but the sourcing appears to be very weak and not the sort of independent coverage that would establish notability. One is the subject's LinkedIn profile, another is a bare mention of him as being involved with an organization (among a lengthy list of others). The third is in Arabic, so I can't be sure, but it looks like a blog post.

Wikipedia is not a list- EDIT: WP policy is that every member of a list article must meet notability criteria, which I do not believe is satisfied here ImperviusXR (talk) 20:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep: Given the notorious nature of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, an index of personnel who served there and engaged in such activities is of extreme academic interest. Wikipedia also does allow for such lists in cases where the listing directly refers to a famous or infamous event; see "List of crew members on board RMS Titanic" for one such example. -OberRanks (talk) 20:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Confused as well about the initial nomination. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists) clearly states lists are permitted on Wikipedia as long as they conform to certain guidelines. -OberRanks (talk) 20:20, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • While this should obviously not detract from the above comment, I feel I should point out that OberRanks is the author of the proposed article. ImperviusXR (talk) 20:19, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I refer you to Wikipedia:Stand-alone_lists#Lists_of_people, specifically the part where it says that every member of a list article should be in their own right notable enough to have their own article ImperviusXR (talk) 20:22, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would say that any person who served in the SS at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp is pretty notable. Even just being present in the camp as an SS member was grounds for a post war criminal investigation and prosecution. Also, everyone on the page right now could very easily have their own Wikipedia article and many in fact already do. -OberRanks (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The nominator gives no valid reason for deletion. Lists are perfectly valid on Wikipedia as long as they are of valid subject matter. I think this would qualify, as many of the people on the list are notable and to omit the ones who aren't would provide an incomplete list, which would not improve Wikipedia in any way. -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • As stated previously, anyone in the SS at Auschwitz, by virtue of simply being there, is notable. To quote the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials: "Any member of the SS assigned to Auschwitz, in whatever capacity great or small, is either directly or indirectly guilty of mass murder and genocide. There were no innocent SS men at Auschwitz, and they are all guilty of the same terrible crime" (Opening statement by Fritz Bauer, December 1963). Even to the present day, if a former SS member who served at Auschwitz comes forward, they are immediately subjected to media interest, books, interviews, and investigation into their background. -OberRanks (talk) 21:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete First, WP:NOTINHERITED. Notability is not inherited. Auschwitz is notable, a guard battalion sentry who served at Auschwitz is not. Second, the ones that are notable aren't really notable for serving at Auschwitz, but for being part of the Nuremberg Trialsand the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials. However, they are already listed there and do not need to be listed again. Finally, and this is a personal opinion, I don't think this is the sort of information that belongs in an encyclopedia. It feels a bit to much like a directory. I would prefer the external link was simply provided as additional reading on the Auschwitz main page.--Djohns21 (talk) 23:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I think it bears mentioning that I plan to merge this article with SS command of Auschwitz concentration camp. This will cause the sources to triple and for more information than just the list to be included. Also, the article is not simply a mirror of the external link. I have actually done some research and reorganized the names into better flowing sections and sub-sections, using the initial website as only a basic guide. -OberRanks (talk) 00:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, first per WP:BURO, articles herein are not governed by statute. Here we have a detailed list that sets out the command structure and personnel for the infamous institution. It could not be covered in the length and detail given if merged into the main article, for example. It would help to expand the article with info. as to the roles of the groups listed in each section and given the fact the main author states above that he plans to merge it with SS command of Auschwitz concentration camp is a good idea for general readers.

• My position isn't automatically "delete", but I'm quite concerned about this list. Including a name on this list creates the potential for very serious harm to a living person. If kept, the list would be one of our highest-risk areas of the encyclopaedia. If kept, it should be fully-protected to reduce the risk of vandalism, watchlisted by several experienced editors, and I want to see an inline citation to a reliable source for every single name that appears. Please also reassure me that all these people are safely dead; I don't want to see a single living name on the list even if it leaves the list incomplete.—S Marshall T/C 00:22, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We have plenty of contentious articles, even lists. I'd like to think that even if someone read, say, George Bush being added to the article in the 30 seconds it took to revert they'd realize it's vandalism. Being hard to maintain or in a POV battleground is no grounds for deletion, otherwise we'd have to delete many important articles, like Israel for example. HominidMachinae (talk) 01:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep; I would normally say a list like this should be merged and redirected as an embedded list in the parent article. However, given the article's size it should be kept separate as a sub-article. That being said; due to WP:NLIST and WP:NOTINHERITED I am unsure as to whether all subjects within the list deserve a wikilink per WP:REDLINK. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:01, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I felt that given that the content is from one source that would be linkable as a reference in the main article, there was no need to have a second one.

To be blunt, I'm also suspicious of an inactive account for nearly two years which is reactivated and the first edit it makes is to post a delete recommendation in a losing argument where most of the votes were to Keep.

• Keep -- Enough of the officers have articles to justify the retention of the list. In so far as they do not and may be NN, the appropriate course would probably be to delink them.

• Keep but split. There are sources in the article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 19:27, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As a group cats form one of the biggest and most recognizable types of animal in fiction and losing this list would be deeply unfortunate. It's in a poor state, somewhere along the line it has been allowed to go from "well, that's a bit over the top" to "well this is just silly", but that can be solved by trimming it and expanding the relevant entries with additional information. If it's trimmed down to cats which are major characters in major works then it will be fine and a good resource. Someoneanother 19:35, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I considered that. The problem with the idea that the article could be cleaned up is that the article is exactly what it is supposed to be; it is a list of every fictional cat, not just the noteworthy ones. As to the idea that there should be a list of noteworthy fictional cats, that is what the Category:Fictional cats is for. If a cat is noteworthy, it deserves its own page, which can then be added to the category. There are even sub-categories, such as Category:Cats in written fiction and Category:Films about cats. The only purpose I see then for this article is to collect a never ending list of insignificant cats. For example, "Mrs Figg's cats in Harry Potter" or my personal favorite, "Unnamed cat who gets a free sandwich in Miracle Whip commercials"--Djohns21 (talk) 20:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Categories are hammers, lists are electric drills. Unless a topic fits squarely and obviously within a category it doesn't work well, whereas lists can be filled with additional information which make them much more useful as search tools in broader areas like this. Many of the items on the list are embarassing, but it would be far more embarassing if there wasn't a list on WP where readers could find the answer to questions like "how often do cats appear as main characters in cartoons" or "are cats a major presence in fiction". With all broader lists like these it comes down to maintainence; once they're reined in and the structure is in place they're a lot easier to maintain and weak or irrelevant entries are a lot easier to spot.

• Delete too broad in scope, per WP:SALAT, for a concise and distinct list to emerge. The open-ended criteria leads to a never-ending list. Most of the sublists contained here are also too broad in scope for an encyclopedic entry (cats in literature, cats on tv), or too trivial (cities named after cats, cat-like pokemon). Overall there isn't much here fit for an encyclopedia. This is a case where the category is appropriate, but the accompanying list is not. ThemFromSpace 12:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Since this appears to be heading for a keep, the very least we could do to manage this is limit it to bluelink-only entries. In essence, applying our notability criteria to the entries. ThemFromSpace 12:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Please see WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC which explains the weakness of such reasoning. For an example of an existing encyclopedia which covers the topic in a similar way, please see The Greenwood encyclopedia of science fiction and fantasy. We are able to expand our coverage without the practical limits of such a volume because it is our policy that "there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover, or the total amount of content".
  • WP:NOTPAPER also says this policy is not a free pass for inclusion: articles must abide by the appropriate content policies, and WP:SALAT is the appropriate content policy for the scope of list articles. NOTPAPER would suffice if this was a very long, but discriminate and verifiable list; say 500 distinctive elements. But open-ended lists compiled in this manner have more problems than just their length. ThemFromSpace 15:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep - This article needs work but it's well-sourced by verifiable, reliable secondary sources, and more than satisfies WP:GNG. The policy the nominator cites, WP:EVENTS, also states events that are "very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards" are usually considered notable, and this event qualifies. — Hunter Kahn 17:35, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep The event is surely notable because not only was the hoax covered and revealed internationally, but the following court case, and criticism of media coverage is even discussed and sourced in the current article, which fulfills WP:EFFECT:

• ...the incident "was a wake-up call to the media but it's a wake-up call that every single one of us is going to sleep through.
• Thompson blamed technology rather than the media for the problem: "There are two technological phenomena driving this -- one is television satellite trucks and the ability to broadcast from anywhere and two is an unlimited number of platforms to place this stuff."

While we're at it, let's take a look at WP:EVENT (emphasis not added):

• Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards

The event easily fulfills WP:GNG (with international attention from CNN, The Daily Telegraph (UK), The New Zealand Herald, The Glode and Mail (Canada), and The Age (Australia), among others. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 17:44, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Hunter Kahn and I Jethrobot: I think the key words to consider here are "especially if also re-analyzed afterwards". Most, if not all, of the article's sources were published in 2009. More importantly, the "Internet and media attention" and "Criticism of media coverage" sections do not cite case studies or similar works that imply continuing coverage. See WP:PERSISTENCE. Ragettho (talk) 18:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, then here are more reliable sources covering the recent auction of the silver saucer, all 2011:

• 1, 2, 3

And here's one that discusses the hoax as an example of a trend that cannot be ignored by media from 2011:

• 1

And here's one on how the father begins his jail sentence in 2010:

• 1

There's more, but I don't think it is necessary to bring this AfD to an end. The coverage is persistent. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 18:50, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proof of persistent coverage requires reliable sources. The Daily Maverick is ineligible in this case because "editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces are reliable for attributed statements as to the opinion of the author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."

Per WP:N, "significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion." Ragettho (talk) 22:04, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as being curt with you. Regardless of the amount of news coverage (which isn't always an accurate indicator of notability), I think that the balloon boy hoax has had no meaningful or significant impact on any aspect of our culture. Ragettho (talk) 23:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• No disrespect intended, but the fact that you don't "think" it had a meaningful impact sounds is a subjective opinion and sounds a bit like Wikipedia:I just don't like it. The threshold for notability isn't whether it had a "meaningful or significant impact" on culture. It's outlined under WP:GNG: significant coverage in reliable, verifiable, secondary sources. Besides, the fact that this is still being talked about today (see here) seems indicative that there was an impact. This recent story from an Australian newspaper even cites it while discussing the dangerous extent people will go to become reality TV stars, which means the Balloon boy hoax is emblematic of something much bigger. — Hunter Kahn 18:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - the event and its sequelae were in the news for over 18 months, negating ONEEVENT. Since there are already copious reliable sources in the article, the burden of proof for deletion is on the nominator, and the nom's arguments come nowhere near to proving it must be deleted. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This hoax is a notable event. In addition to the coverage at time of the incident, we have continued interest and coverage of it. [1], and [2] are just two examples which demonstrate continued interest and lasting impact. -- Whpq (talk) 16:31, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I now see that there are sufficient reliable sources that point to the lasting impact of this event. TBH although I initially had some misgivings about the merits of this nomination, I'm still quite surprised by the overwhelming support for keeping the article, given that the participants of the previous debate could not reach a consensus. I had no idea that consensus could change so drastically! In any case, apologies for wasting your time. Ragettho (talk) 22:33, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep: This is not just routine news coverage. Routine news coveage is forgotten in a week, whereas this was covered for 18 months. If the article in The Australian is to be believed, people are still talking about it today. This has follow-up, which WP:ONEEVENT events lack.

• Delete In 2007 this article could probably be tolerated. In 2011 when the show is long canceled and nobody except the fanboys who remember when a set bulb went out, then model 21 held suitcase 12 instead in episode S329F4 actually care to look up the names, it reads as an article that is just so long and dull that it really isn't needed anymore.

• Keep. The nomination rationale is plainly defective, and based on clear factual errors. As was quite properly reaffirmed in the recent "Ravians" DRV, when we're dealing with a list-type article where the inclusion criterion isn't negative or otherwise contentious, it's OK for sourcing (for notable entries) to be included in the primary articles rather than the list article. And the nominator's statement that "I can't think of something that would source it" is without merit, particularly since a cursory Google search turns up this page [3] which together with its subpages verifies most of the basic information involved. Moreover, I spot-checked about half a dozen of the unlinked names (based on the copy mirrored here, and came up with GNews sources verifying every one of them. So the "no sourcing" argument, the only potentially valid reason for deletion, fails on its face. Some of such GNews hits which mentioned the TV show were quite recent, indicating that the show has embedded itself in popular culture and reinforcing the notability-is-not-temporary principle that should negate one of the delete !votes. The obsessively detailed trivia can be handled, as appropriate, by routine editing. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the argument by Aaron Brenneman on his talk page:

There's no debate that there are sources for the individual models that say that they did in fact appear on the show, but there are no sources about the topic of Deal-or-no-deal models treated as a whole. This idea is also wrapped up in the "one event" sub-section of biographies of living persons. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 18:23, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Deal or No Deal is clearly a notable gameshow, but I see nothing notable about this aspect of the game. The models' sole purpose is to open the briefcases, but at no point does the program focus on the person opening it; pretty much all the attention is given to the number revealed. A list of contestants would be more reasonable, since each show gives far more attention to the contestants than the people holding the briefcases. The only source in the article is to the gameshow's website, and while it provides reasonably in-depth interviews with each of the models, it is not an independent source. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:49, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: A list of contestants would probably not be viable under the WP:BLP1E rules. The models on the other hand are mostly recurring and most of them have their own Wikipedia articles. However whatever (talk) 18:09, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't expect to be editing the article; I don't have a lot of interest in it. The DRV for this happened to be on the same page as another DRV that involved me, so I took note of it. I'm not making any commentary about article content here; I'm making comment about notability, which is the criterion for the AFD. Add the source, don't add the source, it's all the same to me.

Reed doesn't meet notability guidelines for college athletes as he's never won any national college football awards or set any NCAA Division I records but has set records at San Jose State, according to his official biography. Furthermore, Reed lacks national media coverage for his athletic career but has had local media coverage [8] [9] [10] [11] Andrewlp1991 (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - This probably applies to a larger group of articles as well: If a subject does not meet any of the notability guidelines, but appears to pass WP:GNG, are they still notable? As a starting quarterback for a Division I FBS program, it is extremely rare if that player does not meet GNG. However, being a starting quarterback is not an automatic inclusion criteria. To put it simply, if a subject is truly notable, they will meet GNG and at least one other notability guideline. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply. This has been discussed extensively elsewhere, and the consensus has been that if a person passes "GNG," that's good enough. For this reason, a college player who never plays pro ball can still be the subject of an article. And you are correct, a starting QB at a Division I FBS program will most likely pass GNG. Whether rightly or wrongly, starting QBs get far more press coverage than any other position player. Cbl62 (talk) 16:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I'll take your word that there is a consensus for this. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Actually there is no consensus. It is split about 50/50. Cbl62 argues in favor and I have been on the other side. A story today in my local paper talked about a junior high school QB and his experience at some camp. The player has verbally committed to a local University. Another article last week talked about a freshman wide receiver that red shirted last year. So, using CB162 criteria, every starter for the University I'm a fan of is notable and even the major recruits are too. But, as there is no consensus, tie goes to the runner. Bgwhite (talk) 04:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't agree with that. Only a small percentage of college football players get enough non-trivial coverage in mainstream media outlets to pass GNG. For example, 99% of college linemen don't get the type of coverage to satisfy GNG. Starting QBs on Division I FBS teams do generally get a lot of media coverage, and this is the case with Reed. But even starting QBs sometimes don't garner enough non-trivial coverage. For an example of a college QB who does not satisfy WP:GNG, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allan Holland.

Also, the sports guideline begins with the following statement: "Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline, or other, topic-specific, notability guidelines)." Thus, the policy itself makes clear that passing GNG is enough even if the sports standard is not met. Cbl62 (talk) 06:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the sources that Cbl62 has presented above which clearly demonstrate that Reed passes the general notability guideline. The SNGs, of which WP:NSPORTS is one, are supplementary guidelines and should generally be used as indicators for whether the subject will meet the GNG. While it is fine to disagree about whether the subject meets GNG, it is ridiculous to argue that someone meets GNG but fails NSPORTS and should therefore be deleted when the lead of NSPORTS contains "This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson ... will meet the general notability guideline" and "Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline, or other, topic-specific, notability guidelines)." Jenks24 (talk) 14:56, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Does not meet WP:NSPORT for college athletes, and never played at highest level professionally. Source from The Daily Californian is a school newspaper and not an independent source as required by WP:GNG. WP:GNG says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability", but the sources are from MediaNews Group which syndicate each others articles (San Jose Mercury News, Oakland Tribune, Las Cruces Sun-News). A lot of the sources listed were available subscription only, so cited results from WP:GOOGLEHITS does not weed out articles that might be WP:ROUTINE coverage even though the limited headline and excerpt seems promising. I personally can't verify it. This player generated some news because he decided to transfer schools within the Bay Area and happens to be a quarterback who played against Nebraska, so "keep" proponents can have a field day citing sources from the state of Nebraska. But WP is WP:NOTNEWS. I'm at a loss as to what would ever be "interesting or notable" in even the most polished lead section for this article. Perhaps someone can provide some talking points to change my mind on why this person should not be considered WP:Run-of-the-mill and is deserving of an article. —Bagumba (talk) 09:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A few points in response:

(1) Common ownership of media outlets does not make them the same source. The Media News Group owns dozens of newspapers across the country, but that doesn't make all of those newspapers one source. Likewise, the New Mexico newspaper appears to be owned by Gannett, which also owns dozens of media outlets. They are still separate sources under WP:GNG. If your position were accepted, coverage in The Wall Street Journal, The Times (London), The New York Post, Sky TV, and Fox News Channel would not satisfy GNG because these outlets are all owned by News Corporation. That's never been the interpretation.

(2) You acknowledge that much of the coverage "seems promising" based on the headlines, but note that you can't weed out coverage that "might be" WP:ROUTINE because they are subscription sources. That's not a valid basis for concluding that the sources are routine. Indeed, you acknowledge that you don't know. In cases of uncertainty, the default should be to "Keep" not "Delete."

(3) Your reliance on WP:NOTNEWS is not well taken. This applies to whether or not a one-time news story should have a Wikipedia article. In this case, we have an athlete who has received non-trivial coverage in reliable sources for an extended time. Newspaper stories are an established and valid way of establishing a person's notability.

(4) You say that you can't image what would be "interesting or notable" about this person. That's applying a subjective standard. What's interesting to me might not be interesting to you and vice versa. But that's not the test. We have an objective way of measuring notability from non-trivial coverage in mainstream media outlets, and Reed passes that test. Cbl62 (talk) 23:29, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re {1)Common ownership: Your personal interpretation aside, this is taken verbatim from GNG: "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." The sharing of content is clearly evident in reading their newspapers and seeing the same writes, and is clearly articulated in their mission statement of "integrating our content for dissemination across all available distribution platforms in our markets, beginning with the local newspaper".

re: (2) Availability of sources: While articles can be developed in user page to avoid scrutiny of notability while sources are still being found, the article incubator is the other option when "the material did not meet our inclusion criteria, there was justifiable reason to believe the material/article could be made to meet the inclusion criteria given enough time." These articles should not be in the mainspace.

re: (3) Not news: WP:NRVE says "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest". "short-term interest" was liked to WP:NOTNEWS. Reed's main coverage is for two isolated events of short-term interest: transferring schools and famous in Nebraska for being a quarterback on an opponents teams.

re: (4) Subjective: WP:GNG clearly allows this: "Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article." There are also those who advocate WP:COMMONSENSE which is of source subject to consensus and can only reached by discussing what each of us individually subjectively consider notable. —Bagumba (talk) 22:41, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - certainly doesn't meet WP:NSPORT. The news coverage is of the routine nature that college footballers pick up and doesn't serve to meet WP:GNG. Bridgeplayer (talk) 11:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NSPORT. Sources listed are WP:ROUTINE coverage. Article seems to be created to fill a redlink on this template. A low bar for inclusion indeed. Of that list, only Deberg and Garcia meet the WP:NSPORT criteria, IMHO, though others might differ. Several of those pages are BLP offenders and should face deletion.

Relisting comment: After closing there was an inquiry on my talk page, and I took the close to Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2011_July_25#Kyle_Reed. I'm satisfied that there is clear consensus there, so I'm re-opening and re-listing. Gusto!

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Aaron Brenneman (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Thanks for relisting. In my opinion, the article is not well-written currently, and I'll do some work on improving it over the next couple days, but I think article should be kept for at least three reasons:

(1) Reed has been the subject of dozens of articles written about him (i.e., he was the subject of the coverage rather than it being passing references in game coverage) in multiple major newspapers like the San Jose Mercury News (the 5th largest U.S. newspaper), San Francisco Chronicle (23rd largest U.S. newspaper), Oakland Tribune, as well as newspapers in New Mexico and Nebraska. This seems like more than plenty to meet WP:GNG. Passing reference in game coverage is routine, but this guy has multiple stories in newspapers across the country written about him in particular. That's not routine. I edit regularly on college football, and the percentage of college football players who receive this depth and breadth of coverage is extremely small -- less than 1%.

(2) Although passing WP:GNG suffices, he likely passes WP:NSPORTS as well. WP:NSPORTS says: "College athletes ... are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics, mentions in game summaries, or other WP:ROUTINE coverage. Examples would include ... players who ... Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team." Here, Reed has been the subject of such non-trivial media coverage, including coverage on a national basis. It's anything but routine for an athlete from San Jose to receive feature coverage in newspapers as far away as New Mexico and Nebraska.

(3) Starting quarterbacks for Division I FBS (the highest level of college football) almost always pass WP:GNG. QBs are team leaders, and QBs on FBS teams receive a lot of media attention. It's for that reason that the College Football Project allows templates for FBS team QBs. Such templates are not permitted for any other position in college football. This is because a consensus has developed at the College Football Project that starting QBs on FBS teams are almost always notable. That's no reason to panic and think there's a move to saying every college football player is notable. Far from it. There are 25 positions on a college football team and 3 players at each position, meaning 1 starting quarterback on a team of about 75 players. Further, only a small percentage of college teams compete in the highest FBS level. So we're talking about a tiny percentage (actually a fraction of 1% of college football players) who are starting QBs for FBS teams. Cbl62 (talk) 15:32, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re (1): Newspapers under MediaNews umbrella are considered one source per GNG (per discussion above)

re (2): New Mexico and Nebraska coverage is routine when you consider it's only pregame coverage about opposing team's run-of-the-mill quarterback before 2008 games against opponents Nebraska (Spetember 6) and New Mexico (October 18). These dates coincide with the "national" coverage alluded to.

re (3): Agree with Cbl62 that Div I quarterback "almost always" pass WP:GNG, but that is a red herring. This cannot sway discussion on Reed, who must be discussed and qualify on his own merits. There is no previous consensus in WP:NSPORTS to automatically presume notability for all Div I quarterbacks. —Bagumba (talk) 22:41, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NSPORT and sources listed are WP:ROUTINE coverage about him transferring from Cal and routine game articles. Bgwhite (talk) 00:18, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Delete for meeting neither WP:NSPORT nor WP:GNG. I agree with others that the coverage is routine. Even if consensus were to be undecided if the coverage is significant, common sense needs to prevail and guidelines should not be merely followed if it does not improve Wikipedia. Instead of blindly counting the number of significant sources, look at what the sources say. They say he is only famous for transferring schools and little else, which is not notable.

I *do* believe that, given the references, some of this information *could* be useful in the Bouygues page itself, however only if approached from a neutral standpoint.

• Note the editor who created this page appears to have POV issues; if my interpretation of their use name is correct eg User talk:Antibashist ="anti" + "bash" (from Türkmenbaşy "bashi") + "ist" an in leftist etc. (Is that a fair comment?)

I've already added a reference to the proliferation of turkmen contracts in the Bouygues article - that is clearly citable.

One part I think might/should be mentioned an am willing to add to the bouygues article is the bit about the http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,4565c2252c,4565c25f389,4b87865ec,0.html - which comes from what I would consider a neutral source - however it needs further information to actually link it with bouygues work.

The main argument appears to be based on leaked diplomatic cables from USA diplomats - it would be important for someone to link to this, (and tell me/us if these are considered reliable).

The article appears to be conflating two issues -

• alleged corruption relating to building contracts for companies operating in Turkmenistan
• evictions causing concern amongst human rights bodies and other western liberal organisations eg http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1075993.html , http://www.hlrn.org/img/violation/TurkmenistanEviction.pdf etc

Both seem to me to be possible articles, or article sections. Are there any wikiprojects that could help with this eg WikiProject:Human Rights ?

I really think that this is a Turkmenistan issue, and should be dealt with primarily on a suitable Turkenistan page. There is Human rights in Turkmenistan but I couldn't find a suitable place for corruption within Category:Corruption - Corruption in Turkmenistan is clearly a valid topic to cover, as is Foreign investment in Turkmenistan [12] [13] [14]. I just think it has been done wrong here.

• Merge into Bouygues and/or other Turkmenistan-related page(s). The material obviously doesn't belong in its current form. Not only does it violate WP:NPOV, but it provides absolutely no context for the reader (see WP:PCR); I initially had no idea what or who "Bouygues" was from reading about his/her/its "controversy". Richwales (talk · contribs) 01:49, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge I was initially dismayed by Imgaril's revert, but didn't have time to rehash this info - these are well known accusations in France that Bouygues has 'dodgy' business links/contracts with Turkmenistan. After reflection, apparently there are some POV issues, but a shortened form of this info should appear in the article IMO. And I could look around to find some French sources to back up what's being said if anybody needs a hand. CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 21:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• comment (leaning on keep). It sure has few references, but the ones it has are from NASA's JPL. Those are not a random blog entry, those are strong references. We do not expect much 'net fuss about such subjet either. My only doubt is, is this actually (planned to be) used somewhere? Or is it a single paper about a possible technique? I have not found any application, but have not looked deep. {note: I have just copyedited the article} - Nabla (talk) 10:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Where's the significant coverage? Where's the media praising this enterprising new astrometry technique? Until I see it, it fails WP:GNG. LiteralKa (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  "significant coverage" does not mean - at all - the need to have media praise. It is well enough to be published by a reliable scientific institution (and I bet NASA's JPL fits that and it is not out there publishing any crap it fancies just to promeote it's author - certainly not as a rule...). So, no media praise is not a problem. That we have one single paper (still) and that it may be only that, one papper, is a problem. - Nabla (talk) 01:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  You seem to have misunderstood me, I said that it lacked significant coverage and no news coverage. LiteralKa (talk) 05:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Looks like I did, yes. Anyway, I stick to assuming that being a work done at NASA, published by it, and at the very least echoed in several other reputable institutions is a good start for significant coverage (e.g. Harvard as seen using the search provided in the nomination intro).

  Oh! Off course, the article says it: It is was to be used at the Space Interferometry Mission - Nabla (talk) 01:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Uhh... Could you rephrase that? I can't understand it. LiteralKa (talk) 19:20, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  I am sorry for the informal writing... I was asking myself, and in here, if this technique was really used anywhere, that would be a strong point for it. And the article says it is, it was to be used at a NASA project: SIM. I missed that info at first glance because I am not familiar with it. - Nabla (talk) 01:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge: This definitely isn't worth its own article - it's not a widely used technique, as shown by there only being a few papers talking about it, and those papers have only been cited a few times. The text would fit in well with a general article on the different astrometric techniques (provided appropriate weight was given to each technique), but we don't seem to have such an article at the moment. So merging it with the SIM article sounds like the best approach for now - probably under the 'Instruments' section, which could be generalised to 'Instruments and techniques'.

Doesn't seem to be a notable person covered directly and in detail by multiple reliable sources (ie. WP:GNG) – for instance, The Times source in its entirety says, "During a 10-year City career in foreign exchange sales, Regal worked at Bloomberg and JP Morgan. Now studying for the Bar, she is also an independent member of the Metropolitan Police Authority and was named Pro Bono Hero by the attorney-general for her legal charity work."

• She's an independent member of the Metropolitan Police Authority: a position of significant power and she's attracted quite a lot of attention for a lawyer of her youth. It's up for grabs whether this makes her, strictly speaking, "notable" by Wikipedia's guidelines. The mistake that Off2riorob, Qrsdogg and Bwilkins are making is to assume that a lack of notability means "delete". It doesn't. It means "redirect to Metropolitan Police Authority".

"They are high achievers and their careers are being forged in the toughest of times - amid a recession. The 35 women under 35 picked by Management Today are the first in a generation to see such a downturn". This is something of an accomplishment.

I would say this is a reasonable argument for notability. I would say at the least, she is clearly on the cusp of having enough notability, and although we can't see the future, her work so far is clearly being recognized as notable. -- Avanu (talk) 13:43, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• • It's a trivial mention because the article isn't about her. She is just one of 35 women in the list and given ~50 words. How about we wait until she has an article written about her? Being in a newspaper list doesn't convey notability. Szzuk (talk) 07:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Brad_Anderson_(director)#Future_projects MichaelQSchmidt's search for sources is commendable and the nominator should take note of this per WP:BEFORE. That being said, many of the above sources do not comment very substantially on the film itself outside of its plot, such as the USA Today and Variety articles. In fact, many of them seem to reference the film in relation to Brad Anderson's upcoming work, or that John Cusack is playing a major role. I recommend the film be merged to the Brad Anderson page. It is currently mentioned there, but info about release date and Samuel L. Jackson's confirmed role can be added. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 18:22, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability lacking. Just because someone was the first or last to be killed by the Nazis is not notable. Jabbsworth (talk) 05:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

why not? You did argue really nothing. -- ClaudioSantos¿? 05:20, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• DeleteComment — the one sentence about this 4 yr old victim can be folded into the article that refers to him. Jabbsworth (talk) 05:24, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. His death is a tragedy, certainly, but the standard of "significant coverage" hasn't been, and is unlikely ever to be, met, therefore notability not demonstrated. Dawn Bard (talk) 14:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Enough sources. Battlegroud nomination in the conflict between ClaudioSantos and Jabbsworth. The article is two years old already, why is it only now not noteworthy? Night of the Big Wind _talk 18:26, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please AGF, as you should. This has nothing to do with ClaudioSantos. He did not create this article. I only came across it yesterday, and immediately thought it looked like a suitable candidate for deletion. It's a one line article with few sources. Jabbsworth (talk) 22:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This IS the friendly version, Jabbsworth. Night of the Big Wind _talk 10:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While there are some sources, I don't see significant coverage yet, which is part of our general notability guideline. Jesanj (talk) 15:10, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He was a victim of Nazism, who does not deserve to be eliminated by any mean again. -- ClaudioSantos¿? 04:51, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the sort of reasoning we use when considering whether to keep or delete an article. Jabbsworth (talk) 23:58, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, certainly I can not share any reasoning claiming "that nazi euthanasia started out with reasonable premises" as the first murdered victim was a boy "born blind, ill and idiot" _Jabbsworth. Then I insist in my criteria. Victims do not deserve to be eliminated again but, as they also commendably asked: they must be remembered by any mean. Perhaps Jabbswroth has the reason: current wikipedia criteria are more realistic and less true. -- ClaudioSantos¿? 01:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, wikipedia is not a memorial site. Jabbsworth (talk) 01:36, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Notability applies to every victim as much as notability applies to those who ordered and took part in the killing. This article could be expanded to detail why he was to be put to death, giving the reasons. --Hemshaw (talk) 01:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You do not understand the concept of wp:NOTABILITY. According to you, we should have 6 million articles, one for each Holocaust victim, and each article should be expanded to include a description of the mechanisms of the holocaust! That's simply ridiculous. Jabbsworth (talk) 02:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Patrolling sysop: note that this Keep vote was canvassed by User:ClaudioSantos, see him dropping a link to this page onto a known sympathiser for keeping anything related to disability here: [27] — Hemshaw added his Keep vote here 14 minutes after being canvassed. Jabbsworth (talk) 03:05, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, here com the double standards again. Why were you informing others about my supposed outing (and not me), and are other people not allowed to inform others about relevant subjects? Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I OBJECT TO THAT ACCUSATION!! I DO NOT BELEIVE IN DELETING FOR THE SAKE OF IT, SEE Deletionists I SPOTTED DELETE PROPOSAL ON MY OWN. DO NOT ACCUSE ME OF BIAS!--Hemshaw (talk) 03:39, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notifying users who edited that article is not canvassing. -- ClaudioSantos¿? 03:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is canvassing. I suggest you study what canvassing is. Picking a sympathetic editor from a list of article editors is canvassing. Jabbsworth (talk) 03:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You did the same, Jabbsworth. Stop crying. Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Canvassing#Appropriate_notification: "...On the talk pages of concerned editors..." -- ClaudioSantos¿? 04:07, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is WP:PA calling "ridiculous" a comment of an user. For the rest: I also do not "understand" or at least I can not share this sort of notability standars. Just finding notable a device to commit "sui"cide but not a victim of the nazi euthanasia. And certainly there are millions of futile things with an article in wikipedia. Of course prefering things over people is reasonable under a merchandise based "society" -- ClaudioSantos¿? 02:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a PA to call a comment ridiculous. I suggest you study wp:PA People say ridiculous things all the time. This page is all the proof you need. Jabbsworth (talk) 02:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, it looks like your definitions about personal attacks differs between actions of you and actions of others. Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:27, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
