Keep. I'm sympathetic to your point of view but the airliner broke in half.

Keep. The article is well-written. Reliable sources can be provided for the details of the accident. It is not in violation of WP:NOTMEMORIAL as a result of the last act of Rachel Beckwith's life. It is an undeniable fact that a fundraising attempt, initiated by Rachel Beckwith snowballed into a $600,000 inflow of money. While it is true that the tragic death of Beckwith brought about the results, the article is about the aftermath of her death. I think reliable sources amply support the noteworthiness of the fundraising efforts of Beckwith to "bring water to Africa". Bus stop (talk) 22:56, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, while those are all reliable sources, I'm pretty sure that they all featured as part of the previous Alex Day article written by Wmoran9550, and they were all discussed at length during its AfD. The consensus from that discussion was that they only contained the briefest of mentions of Alex and that it would be pretty difficult to verify a lot of even the most basic things in the article. Whether or not things have changed since then, I really can't say.

yh, but Chartjackers was the most minor of minor shows - only one series, and each episode only lasted 5 minutes! tbh, I'm surprised that even that meets notability... 92.16.106.34 (talk)

The notability of Chartjackers comes from how that was the artist name under which "I've Got Nothing" charted in the UK. From #2 on WP:MUSICBIO, I believe that that therefore makes the series notable. As was mentioned at the 2nd Nerimon AfD, it unfortunately doesn't necessarily make Alex notable, because he didn't receive a credit on the single (i.e. it wasn't credited to "Chartjackers & Alex Day", for example). $V o$ BEDD 12:57, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What on Earth is this?

Weak keep - there is this article about him from The Tribune which doesn't have the same reliability problems that the other sources might have.

Keep This is a novel by Man Booker Prize recipient Hilary Mantel.

Additional note: The book apparently features a character named "Al Kindi" (Abd al-Masih ibn Ishaq al-Kindi). This character has no relation to the scholar Al Kindi. Cs32en Talk to me 13:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing the nomination. However, I continue to believe that the content of the article needs to based on reliable sources. This source gives some indications on the vast amount of uncertainty that surrounds this text. Cs32en Talk to me 08:11, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This book has been regarded as an important text on the subject of Islam by scholars since the Middle Ages. Possibly it does not have anything important to say about Islam. However, who are we to dispute with people like Martin Luther? The fact that people of his stature were interested in the book makes it notable. --Alan (talk) 13:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apology of al-Kindy (book) says it's "a medieval theological polemic tract attributed to an Arab Christian known as Al Kindi". However, Abd al-Masih ibn Ishaq al-Kindi says that Al Kindi is the alias of a Christian character in the medieval theological work Apology of al-Kindy. I am nominating Abd al-Masih ibn Ishaq al-Kindi for deletion as well, as that article also provides no indication of notability. Cs32en Talk to me 13:40, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the notability of Al Kindi as a person/character hinges on the notability of the famous Apology (although in any case there is an argument for the Christian Al Kindi's inclusion as an aid to disambiguation, given the possibility of confusion with the Muslim Al Kindi).

Leaving aside whether Al Kindi existed or not (I have no opinion to offer as to whether he is fictional), it is puzzling that no specific reason has been advanced for the book being anything other than notable by Wikipedia's criteria. The first issue to be determined is whether the book is notable or otherwise. -Alan (talk) 14:56, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While I'm not finding nearly as many sources as I would expect, it's still more than enough to attest notability. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:54, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As Roscelese says, there are enough sources to show this as notable--and I think, actually famous. DGG ( talk ) 03:17, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to this source, Abd al-Masih ibn Ishaq al-Kindi is not the author of the book. While that source may of course be wrong, it would be very helpful if editors would write articles based, at least primarily, on reliable, secondary sources. Cs32en Talk to me 04:29, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article you've wikilinked is the article on the al-Kindi of the Apology. The Muslim philosopher is a different person who has a separate article. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:12, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know that these are two different Al Kindi's. However, according to the source I have cited, neither is the author of the book. Cs32en Talk to me 05:56, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where you're getting that from the source you cited. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 06:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have just had a look at the source again. You are correct: the source just says that the Al Kindi of the book is not Al Kindi, the philosopher. Sorry for the confusion. Cs32en Talk to me 06:17, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, the article on the author is also very poorly sourced.

No indication of notability per WP:N. Cs32en Talk to me 12:27, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing the nomination. There are actually sufficient sources available, although the number of sources that cannot be classified as opinion pieces by ideological fellows of the author of the book is limited. The article, however, fails to make use of these sources, and will need to be significantly reworked to avoid bias. Cs32en Talk to me 18:41, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article describes Steyn's book as a best-seller (also so-described in this article in The Guardian and in this article in The Observer). And see also this Guardian opinion piece on the Canadian court case against re-publication of a chapter of the book, also covered in a separate Wikipedia article in its own right. And that's from just searching on the newspapers that I read. All in all, there is enough out there to establish the book's notability. AllyD (talk) 20:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These sources need to be included in the article, and the article needs to be written based primarily on such independent, secondary sources. Writing articles based on primary sources, and on statements made by ideological supporters is not acceptable. Cs32en Talk to me 21:01, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll find that neither The Guardian nor The Observer can be considered an ideological supporter of Steyn's views. I'm also unclear where your series of imperative statements emanate from? They are not reasons shown at WP:DEL; rather it appears that you are seeking article improvement? That is laudable (and I would encourage you to seek and apply such improvements through normal editing), but not a ground for AfD. AllyD (talk) 21:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The other approach would be to delete almost all of the article, as it does not meet the requirements of WP:NPOV, a central pillar of the project. People who create biased articles, very likely motivated by their own POVs rather than by the goal of contributing to the encyclopedia, cannot force others to look for sources, read them, and correct their texts. (Note that I am not implying that you would be one of the editors that I am describing here.) We can allow articles that are incomplete, but largely uncontroversial, to remain in a deficient state, in an eventualist perspective. We cannot do this with tendentious articles, or in cases where the sources that are actually being used do not allow to determine whether the presentation is biased or not. Cs32en Talk to me 22:09, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep clearly enough sources. And coverage is continuing. NPOV is usually attained by adding appropriately sourced material, and NPOV problems are not appropriately dealt with by deleting the article. There's no way of having a comprehensive encyclopedia that every will agree is NPOV, because different people have very different opinions of what that means in any given cases. Hence our standard principle for dealing with POV, that we include all responsible sourced views. DGG ( talk ) 04:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - One of a series of hit-and-run AfD nominations by a single editor, coming just three minutes after the previous one and two minutes before the next. We seriously need to ban the use of automated tools for AfD nominations. As one might expect, WP:BEFORE was clearly not followed here, with 260,000 Google matches for the specific phrase "Rutherford Institute." An iceberg that size is sufficient for the manufacture of several independently published and substantial snocones at AfD. This never should have been nominated. The Rutherford Institute is best known as a player in the Paula Jones/Bill Clinton scandal, an ongoing series of mini-"events" with historic importance. I'd look up some sources for y'all, but I've already invested more time in writing this paragraph than the nominator did in researching whether this was worthy of deletion, filing the deletion request materials at AfD, and making the necessary notifications.

Keep per Carrite. The sources in the article are already an indication of notability per WP:N. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sources that are currently referenced in the text are (a) reliable sources mentioning the Rutherford Institute in a trivial way, (b) reliable sources mentioning the Rutherford Institute in connection with the lawsuit of Paula Jones against former President Bill Clinton (one event), (c) opinion pieces, (d) blogs, (e) a single source by a research institute that may or may not qualify as a reliable source. These sources are not adequate to establish sufficient notability, and do not allow to write an article based on information that is actually reliable. However, the article may well be saved if more acceptable sources are found and included. Cs32en Talk to me 17:31, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AfD is not for cleanup. If the sources exist the article will be saved regardless of whether the references are added to the article before the close of play. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, per the previous keep rationales. The weakness of my conviction reflects only my lack of previous knowledge of this organisation, but from what I can see it is (a) notable due to its prominence in a number of well reported cases, and (b) very controversial. This controversy is not really reflected in the article about it; I don't think it would be a violation of WP:NPOV to include discussion of the controversy so long as it is suitably backed up with references. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If articles are so poorly sourced that there is no way to determine whether they conform to WP:NPOV, then we cannot indefinitely hope that sources may be eventually added to the article at some point of time in the future. The best way in such cases would be to have a deadline, with a bot-generated AfD after 6 weeks for example. But as we don't have such a bot or process, we need to make a decision based on the actual state of an article at some point. Wikipedia must not be cluttered with potentially tendentious articles just because we cannot exclude the possibility that they may be fixed eventually. Cs32en Talk to me 18:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -The triple negative at the end makes my head spin. The question at AfD is whether a topic meets notability standards. Nominators are expected to check the internets BEFORE making a gratuitous nomination. There is absolutely no way in the green hills of allah that the Rutherford Institute is going to fail the General Notabiity Guideline. This never should have been nominated, period — a cursory Google search should have made that clear. Yet here we are, burning valuable time... Now, to your point: Wikipedia must not be cluttered... [it already is cluttered, but it's not paper, so no worries] ... with potentially tendentious articles... [controversy or possible controversy is no excuse for deletion] ...just because we [think they] may be fixed eventually. [Rome wasn't built in a day, millions of articles are in an unfinished state.

Keep There seem to be sufficient sources. Though I would not like to think it happening here, nominating for deletion a number of controversial articles on people or organizations with a similar perspective or dealing with the same sort of general subjects has sometimes indicated bias.

List of fastest production cars by acceleration

[edit]

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

In the past weeks when I attempted to clean up to improve the quality of this list, all I got was edit warring by various IP editors who wish to include their non-eligible modified dream car onto this list without even discussing why it should be mentioned and another editor who objected to my attempt for a cleanup as I intended to tighten up the listing criteria. My reasoning is that anything less than 4 second is nowadays easily achievable by any modern $150k exotics that they see on Top Gear (as well as less than 13 seconds for quarter mile times) by the looks of this list, which was rare 20 years ago.

My attempt to reason with an editor have failed as he wanted a comparison of times by those currently on the market and those recently discontinued (looking at the state of the list) rather than what this list is intended for, about the list of fastest accelerating cars, especially when he has done nothing to deal with this edit warring that resulted in this article being semi-protected, it is difficult to source reliable third party times as media have the tendency to use manufacturer claims (which is not always reliable), therefore this list is heavily reliant on original research, otherwise unsourced, because that editor doesn’t want to deal with any problems on this list. I don’t think it is well referenced like it claimed on the original nomination; otherwise, things have changed since then.

I am very willing to withdraw this nomination if there is any reasonable way to clean up this list but not in this current state per reason. Donnie Park (talk) 09:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - not necessarily a nomination to delete this article, more of how it can be improved and I do not agree in this state. Donnie Park (talk) 11:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - I do not find that claim that the article is WP:OR convincing. WP:PRIMARY sources are allowed if used carefully and the article contains WP:SECONDARY sources as well. Having dismissed the WP:OR claim, I see no other WP:DEL#REASON in the arguments presented above. This WP:AfD seems to be motived by an editing war. This is concerning, especially in light of the fact that no effort has been make on the talk page of this article to resolve the disputes in question. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 10:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay though primarily not really a nomination to delete this article, how are you going to improve on this article if you had to, surely not in this state as any $150k bedroom wall dream car can achieve these times, wheras 20 years ago, it was impossible. Donnie Park (talk) 10:57, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying that the decision on whether to include a car in the list needs to be stricter? Like only including cars with a 0–100 km/h time under 3 seconds? That would be something to discuss on the talk page but not a reason to delete the article. If someone keeps reverting edits without participating in the discussion, the process for dealing with that is outlined in WP:DR. If you've got a good reason for your changes but a malicious user keeps undoing them, WP:DR will take care of it. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 11:09, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not that strict, my original proposal was 3.4 seconds and 12 seconds maybe 3 seconds in 5/10 years time. Donnie Park (talk) 11:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - we have List of automotive superlatives which tells fastest cars then we have also List of fastest production cars which should be deleted also... -->Typ932 ^T·C 11:04, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That list is huge and per WP:SALAT should probably be broken up into separate lists. Deleting this article and adding the information to the superlative list would just make the problem worse. Further, this article provides far more information on speed than the superlative list, which only lists a couple of cars. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 11:12, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - 'fastest production cars by acceleration' is a curious subject for a superlative list. While fastest cars by speed is a very common subject and accereleration is likewise a common industry statistic, combining the two to make a new superlative list not in common anywhere really. I find that a list like this, not in common usage is not really encyclopedic. If I had to site something, I'd suggest WP:TRIVIA. --Falcadore (talk) 12:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TRIVIA explicitly "does not suggest the inclusion or exclusion of any information; it only gives style recommendations. Issues of inclusion are addressed by content policies." Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article is over six years old and hasn't had a successful nomination for deletion. It is well written and well sourced and I think it is difficult to make an argument against WP:SALAT. I think it would be a shame to delete the article with an WP:AfD motivated by an editing war. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 18:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Well sourced" huh! More like fallen into disrepair consisting of unsourced pieces and as with well written, more like a stub piece that needs more info written to it, not to mention, it would never qualify for DYK due to its length, don't forget, things have changed over the years. Plus how do you know claimed acceleration times by manufacturer are accurate. Donnie Park (talk) 18:40, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is not well written, it is barely written at all. The article lead is just two sentences long. It does not even attempt to explain the title of the article. Having escaped scrutiny for six years is not a reason to keep. --Falcadore (talk) 22:03, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't think that disagreement with the current scope of the article is a good enough reason to have it deleted. It could do with a bit of Wikifying though, as Falcadore points out. -- de Facto (talk). 22:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Context: there was a deleted comment above this one. This is not in response to DeFacto.) You keep repeating this, but it is not a valid argument in favor of deletion. You're having a content dispute with other editors of the article and instead of discussing it on the talk page or working through WP:DR you want to delete the article. I note no effort on your part to have a dialogue with the other editors of this page. This is not the appropriate forum for a content dispute and this AfD should be closed as keep, in part to discourage such behavior. The only argument I've seen that actually has merit is one based on WP:SALAT, but in my opinion no one has carried that burden. Per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, "an article is a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject". The cars themselves meet WP:N and I believe this list is encyclopedic, or at least certainly has the potential to become so. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you work on improving the article, this delete discussion can be made irrelevant. It is up to you. --Falcadore (talk) 21:08, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not correct. Per WP:BEFORE, "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD." Further, an AfD cannot pass unless WP:DEL#REASON are shown. None are presented in the AfD, a few weak ones have been shown in the comments, and overall I don't think the burden has been met. It's up to whoever performs the closure, of course.

Keep A few musings: Is it encyclopedic? Well acceleration seems to be one way to measure a car's performance; and an article comparing various cars by that measure would seem within the realm of lists (we have plenty of Lists of Foos by Measurement of Somthing and where that something matters, it seems to be encyclopedic). There are numerous ways to measure acceleration as the article notes; however, there are numerous ways to measure lengths of geography: we have List of countries by length of coastline, when we have no uniform method of measuring how long a coastline really is; see: How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension. So, it's encyclopedic; so it should be kept. That it is based on un-uniform measurements seems to be no impediment, that point should be adequately flagged in the article.
Keep - all lists like this one, and similar are very useful.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:30, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Manu militari

[edit]

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

This is a dictionary definition. We already have this covered in Wiktionary. The article's author suggests that it's notable because it has a long history of use, but I don't see that as a valid argument. The article about the rapper (Manu Militari (rapper)) should be the primary topic. The term can be covered by a hatnote pointing to Wiktionary. Michig (talk) 08:56, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wiktionary: Something told me that this discussion had something to do with the rapper. I stand with my point that Manu militari is a war term with a long history of use in human societies (well, I'd set the starting point to when Latin was invented). I'm sure the rapper is a great artist (despite never hearing from him), but, considering the several other Latin term stub articles, Manu militari should not be deleted. Nonetheless, if you go on a massive AfD run for many of these Latin term stub articles, then I would not oppose you deleting them. Best of wishes.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 14:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has nothing to do with the rapper. It is solely about this article. I mentioned the rapper because that was the article that was here originally and because if we do need to cover this term it can be covered by a link to Wiktionary. I'm not planning a 'massive AfD run' either - I just brought this one article to AFD. --Michig (talk) 15:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Considering you're not planning on going on an AfD for other Latin terms, and that articles such as Ex facie and Ex nunc have a place in Wikipedia, this just further supports my point that Manu military should not be deleted.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 16:14, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, we are just discussing this article here.--Michig (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're not even allowing other editors to contribute information for it.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 19:28, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pointing to "the existence of similar articles" isn't a good argument here. This is not an encyclopedia article - that's why I think it should be deleted. Perhaps you could concentrate your efforts on coming up with some sensible arguments for keeping this rather than constantly trying to find a hidden agenda here.--Michig (talk) 21:44, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're basically trying to do a speedy deletion of an article whose only "problem" was replacing some rapper named Manu Military. I would agree to having this article redirect or link to the Wiktionary entry, and leave "Manu Military (rapper)" as it is. Even the wiktionary definition of the actual term "Manu military" is more notable than a relatively unknown rapper.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 15:54, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:DICDEF. I do think, though, that there is a valid issue here regarding the Latin term as such vs. its use as the stage name of a rapper. A possibly analogous situation (which I'm not sure I like in its current form) would be Facts on the ground vs. Facts on the Ground (book). Richwales (talk · contribs) 04:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Right, even if this ends up getting deleted, it should still be the primary topic as a redirect to Wiktionary. "Manu Militari (rapper)" should retain its current article title, and be a secondary topic for when someone looks for "Manu militari". In my case, when I looked up Manu militari, I was hoping to find something about the Latin term and not the rapper (whom I had never heard about prior to my search).--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 04:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep the current article is quite poor, but I think this might be a valid encyclopedic topic and not just a dictionary definition. The wiki article and the wikt:manu militari mention that the term has been widely used, including major historical persons such as Julius Ceasar. More sources would be needed on the usage and if the term has had clear legal definition (in treaties etc.). MKFI (talk) 11:24, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you, but it would really take someone dedicated on the subject to expand the article. Ideally, the article should remain but with a note that a wiktionary definition exists. In the worst case, the article should be a redirect to Wiktionary. In any case, the "Manu Military (rapper)" should not be the primary topic.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 00:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought this might be a stock character or stereotype in a comic series. Actually it is not, and is just a misspelling of Whizz Kid. Si Trew (talk) 11:20, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So why Whizz kid is redirecting here? Bulwersator (talk) 11:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do not keep under this name. At a bare minimum, this article is mistitled. This article is a list of characters from various media who could be described as "whiz kids", not a list of characters in a book/movie/television program titled Whiz Kid. Maybe this should be moved, maybe it should be deleted, but it shouldn't stay under this name. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:05, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. Although the page was moved, I don't think it's sufficiently sourced to warrant keeping. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; the nom makes no sense to me. What is a "Whizz kid" and how is it different than a "Whiz" kid? The page has been moved back to its old title of Whiz kid and a good-faith but erroneous attempt to convert it to a disambig page has been reverted. This is a legitimate article about a recognized type of stock character, and I see no reason for deletion. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:37, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/re-write; I have previously stated my reasons on the article's talk page -- nagualdesign (talk) 16:21, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I never said it was a well-written article; but, AFAIK, "poorly written" is not a valid reason for deleting an article. The remedy is to rewrite it, not delete it. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is some strange hybrid of an unmanagable and unnecessary list masquerading and an article about a character type. As a list, it might barely squeak by if it were cut down to only those characters that actually have RS sourcing that they are whiz kids, but that will never happen. As an article, it is a dicdef plus a bunch of OR. I hoped to find a media-studies scholarly article about the whiz kid archetype somewhere, but I couldn't.

Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Clearly fails points 2 through 11. Fails point 12 as her television appearances were purely of a promotional nature. She fails point 1, as while she comes up with literally millions of hits on Google, they are virtually all viral in nature. The coverage on ABC cannot be considered as constituting an independent, reliable source as ABC has been promoting her. Once the viral promotion and downright spam are cut out, there is very little on this artist who has essentially failed to take off. In addition, there is simply very little here. A blurb about GMA and Ark Music Factory and her "discovery." A mention of a failed single release. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Delete. Safiel (talk) 06:05, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lexi St. George was picked in a well known show after competing with many others in a trend of increasing influence of social networking artists.

Delete. Good Morning America is not an independent source here; the article states that they specifically contacted this teen record label with the aim of promoting a new singer.

Seems to be an game made up in one day, with no chance of gaining a reliable source. -- $Σ talk contribs$ 05:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Clearly WP:FAILN because WP:NRVE. Further, circumstances of articles creation lead me to suspect WP:SPIP, given the fact that the name of the creator of this game and name of the account that created the article are the same. To be honest, WP:SPEEDY is probably appropriate under WP:G11. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 07:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete slowly. Speedy deletion is not appropriate here because this is not spamming. While it is possibly intended to promote this person's idea, the language is such that it is trying to be an encyclopaedia article - probably in order to be able to say to others that "this is notable/significant/whatever because it has a Wikipedia article". I remember playing games like this as a kid, and so developmental psychologists might have studied something like this. If they have, then we can write an encyclopaedia article about such research, but it wont be this article and it wont be at this title, which is afaict not what any reliable sources have used to write anything about the possibly notable topic.

Fails WP:ENT. Has not "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" as required by criteria #1. According to IMDB the extent of his experience has been minor roles in four episodes of 4 different TV series and one multi-episode role in a minor Disney series. The role may end up being significant but it's nowhere near that at this time and it's not "multiple" as required by the criteria. There is no evidence that he meets criteria 2 or 3 of WP:ENT.

Keep and improve.

Try adding it to http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Glossary You can even export the entire edit history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export and import it over there.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument on deletion discussions. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 05:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That was a joke (and the reason why initially it was "comment" rather than "keep"). Anyway, it's the title character of an upcoming play by a very notable writer/producer/director. Notable. As an aside there are apparently no established guidelines for fictional characters but this definitely does not fall under WP:NOT (which would be the closest to a relevant guideline here). In such a situation, all joking aside, I actually think it's quite appropriate to make comparison with standard practice on similar articles (Pokemons, Dr. Who characters, etc.) Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If the character is not notable now it should not have an article now. —Mike Allen 08:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The character has previously appeared in Madea's Big Happy Family. It's notable (at least by standards of current practice) now. In a couple of weeks it will get even more notable.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:15, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well I disagree that the character is notable because it has appeared in two stage plays. The article will only contain plot information (that's the only information available, there are no real world information for this character). But that's the way Wikipedia is going anyways, so who cares right? —Mike Allen 08:23, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm, Madea's Big Happy Family started out as a "stage play" (is this bad?) but was made into a movie, Madea's Big Happy Family (film). And in fact one which made quite a bit of money (opinions differ as to its "true" aesthetic quality). If you're familiar with Tyler Perry's ouvre then you know that that's how it usually works; first a "stage play" then a movie.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:25, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In the end, having an argument about whether it's notable is irrelevant - the only question is whether it has enough third-party sources discussing the character in depth to pass WP:GNG, and the answer is - no, it doesn't - in fact it doesn't have any. Black Kite (t) (c) 13:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per Black Kite, clearly fails GNG. ukexpat (talk) 19:45, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you guys actually click on the news link above? Again, the fact that the sources are not in the article is a reason to list it as a stub, not delete it. Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I looked at that. Every single one of those sources mentions the character as being in a production, or is just a cast list - not a single one is actually about the character. Hence no significant coverage. Black Kite (t) (c) 22:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm gonna pull another OTHERSTUFFEXISTS here (which is perfectly legitimate since there is no established guideline for fictional characters -so it makes sense to compare this character to existing practice) and ask you to look at (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) or more specifically here. Not that much difference in the amount/quality of sources is there? So why do obscure Dr. Who characters get their own Wikipedia articles but title characters from plays by one of the most financially successful modern playwrights don't? Or are you just saying that we should wait a month and then it will be okay for this article to be recreated? I don't see anyone putting up Aunt Bam's Place for deletion.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm beginning to think you're not actually listening to what people are saying here; this is nothing to do with any other article. If you think the other one has problems, then stick an AfD tag on it. And Aunt Bam's Place doesn't (currently) meet WP:GNG either and should probably also have at least a merge tag on it. Black Kite (t) (c) 09:41, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per fails just about everything. No GNG, no sourcing on the page, no assertion of notability anywhere to be seen. Even the source produced merely mentions her twice. Aunt Bam's Place should be deleted as WP:CRYSTAL. BusterD (talk) 15:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Delete No sources provided to back notability or clarify meaning or context. Melcombe (talk) 11:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments' When you say "no one" is using this term, what community are you considering? Is it strictly academia or does it include business practitioners? If your sample is inclusinve of the latter, it certainly is being used presently.

No one has said "no one". "No evidence that anybody uses this term" means primarily that the article doesn't have evidence (citations, sources) that anyone uses the term. If anyone has used the term, then quickly add some sources (showing this usage) to the article. Melcombe (talk) 11:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Subject has not met notability standards of WP:NHOCKEY or WP:GNG. Xajaso (talk) 22:05, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about hockey, but doesn't the article state that he played for Detroit Red Wings, which is a major NHL team, so that should suffice for WP:NHOCKEY? Rymatz (talk) 22:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. Honejsek played just two years of junior hockey in the Czech Republic and two years for Moose Jaw in the Western Hockey League. The article says he "tried out" for the Red Wings. NHL.com lists him among its "draft prospects," meaning he has the potential to play in the NHL in the not-too-distant future. If and when that happens, the article can be restored. — Michael J 03:12, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:NHOCKEY, which says: "Ice hockey players are presumed notable if they played one or more games in an existing or defunct top professional league". Now I'm not an expert in hockey, but the article says Honejsek played for a team in the Czech Extraliga, which is "the highest-level ice hockey league in the Czech Republic". That meets the notability requirements right?--EdwardZhao (talk) 15:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe he has played in the Extraliga yet. It looks like he is on the team for next season, but hasn't started playing yet. [17]. Rlendog (talk) 21:02, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion based upon joe•roe's comment. Someone familiar with the Czech Extraliga should store this article on a user subpage. If/when Honejsek plays there (or in the NHL or other major league), simply start a new article and paste it in. I do not follow the Extraliga or else I would volunteer. — Michael J 02:03, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment EdwardZhao is wrong that he has played in the Czech Extraliga. He is currently signed by HC Zlin to try-out for the team next season, but has not yet played a game. To see the future one must look into a crystal ball. Xajaso (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Hasn't played in the Extraliga yet. He probably will this season, as Zlín could use him. Best bet is to save it on a subpage, as suggested. Captain Courageous (talk) 09:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability of politicians.

Delete per WP:NEO.
