While I find the subject of the article to be regrettable and certainly a sad incident, I fail to see where this specific incident warrants its own article. Strikerforce (talk) 22:42, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not surprising that you failed to see how this incident warrants its own article, since you nominated it for deletion about five minutes after it was created. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 22:50, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please remember to remain civil. This article documents a current event, but that does not establish notability. There are, unfortunately, terrorist attacks of all kinds almost every day in that part of the world. Without establishing notability for this specific event, the article is a valid AfD candidate. Strikerforce (talk) 22:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please acknowledge that you nominated this article for deletion exactly three minutes after it was first created, that it is still being built, that you did could not have researched its topic in those three minutes to a sufficient extent to reach well-founded conclusions about its notability, that your behavior is blatantly contrary to WP:DEMOLISH, and that your insinuation of incivility on my part is baseless and gratuitous. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 23:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The only part of your statement that I will acknowledge as truthful is the speed at which I nominated the article for deletion, which I stand firmly by. This attack, while horrible in nature, is just another in a long list of terrorist incidents in that part of the world. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life there, given all of the conflicts underway. Notability has not been established, in my opinion, hence my nomination for deletion. The tone of your comment ("it's not surprising...") most certainly comes across as being uncivil, sir, if you step back and look at it objectively from my point of view. If you have a problem with my "behavior" (your word, not mine), then there are outlets for that, if you wish to proceed down that avenue. My view on the article was that it was not notable and was a valid AfD candidate. All you had to do was come here and offer a "keep" statement and rationale that the article was still under development and that would have been that. Instead, you chose to respond directly to me in a fashion that could very easily be taken as confrontational. Strikerforce (talk) 23:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a vote. If you do not provide any reason for your statement it will not be considered when this debate is closed. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a reminder, remember that coverage must occur "over a period of time" in order to be notable under that standard. While emerging coverage since I brought it here to AfD is lending more credibility toward the article's notability status, time will tell whether it holds notability. Strikerforce (talk) 00:43, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Right, which is why nominating the article for AfD so soon after its creation kind of defeats the purpose. Had you waited another few days, the argument might have been easier to make. Tomorrow morning the attack will be on the front pages of all the newspapers in Israel (no newspapers printed on Saturday), and Jewish weeklies will cover and analyze it in depth in the days to come. In a week it may be forgotten; but as of this time, there's really no question the article meets WP:GNG.—Biosketch (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:TRIVIA is a style guideline about the organisation of information within an article and its point is that articles should not contain sections of unrelated facts or miscellania. The correct shortcut for your argument is WP:IDL which gives as an example "Delete as trivia". That tells us that this is an argument to avoid because it is a subjective opinion. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You keep getting dragged to AN/I, there's a RFC/U about you, and your interventions are often counter-productive because of this instinctive peevishness. Trivia dragged out and placed into a standalone article is still trivia, and as such is embraced by the spirit of WP:TRIVIA. Eusebeus (talk) 10:32, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The spirit of WP:TRIVIA is conveyed by its nutshell: "Sections with lists of miscellaneous information (such as "trivia" sections) should be avoided as an article develops. Such information is better presented in an organized way.". The point it makes is guidance on how we best organise information, not to endorse any opinion about the value of such information. The group notice for this discussion explains that "valid arguments citing appropriate guidelines will be given more weight" and so it seems necessary to point out when guidelines are cited in an inappropriate way. The group notice also explains that "commenting on people rather than the article is considered disruptive.". Please therefore retract your personal attack.

  • It would be very relevant to Welsh gold as it already contains similar material. That article is tagged as requiring a citation for this topic and we have citations here.

  • Sorted. The ingot is now mentioned in appropriate detail at the Welsh gold article and sourced to a reliable source, which makes this article redundant.

The references cited are not self-published by wikipedia definition--For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information 1.the material is not unduly self-serving; 1. it does not involve claims about third parties (such as people, organizations, or other entities); 2. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; 3. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; 4. the article is not based primarily on such sources.

What is the criteria for notability of software? Regards, SunCreator (talk) 01:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is a good question, that is not easy to answer. I think the criteria for inclusion in a place such as Software_for_handling_chess_problems#Popeye is low but for its own article without meeting WP:GNG I think that some clear contribution to chess or chess computers is needed. This would mean something like:
  • that other programs have adopted the algorithm
  • it was the first computer to be able to solve a famous problem
  • it does well in a competition such as World Computer Chess Championships
While this is a specialised computer dealing with fairy problems - I think this is not a fact that adds notability. If it was General Chess Playing Program able to play any version of chess could have made it notable problem solving doesn't really. I had a computer in 1981 that would cheat if it got too far behind. Tetron76 (talk) 12:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment although mayfair games is a reasonably large company I would have to agree that being CEO on its own isn't enough.

The Wizards profile you reference is dated 2000 -- his 4th edition work dates from 2007 onwards, so I think we can conclude that the profile is out of date. While I can't find a current staff bio on the Wizards site, consider this article [11], which states "Rob Heinsoo led the design of the 4th Edition D&D Roleplaying Game and currently serves as the Lead Designer for Wizards of the Coast Roleplaying R&D." Obviously, that's not an original separate source, but I'd hate to see decisions made based on out of date information. Thanlis (talk) 19:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify I was not making my decision based on the profile not mentioning the D&D 4th edition but following up on all the information. Even using a google cached interview from the wizards site (which would be a primary source) and non-RS, there is little mention to support notability beyond that he worked for wizards and was good at his job. I could not find RS to support he met WP:BLP.Tetron76 (talk) 11:21, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused by your reference to WP:BLP -- help a newbie out? My understanding is that WP:BLP addresses the requirements for content added to a biographical article; it seems meaningless to refer to a person as not meeting those requirements. In any case, I'm interested in your comments on the further references that I found, and perhaps the references that Leadwind has added to Heinsoo's page -- some of them may well be unacceptable, and if you tell me which ones those are I can refine my approach. Thanlis (talk) 12:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Might not have been the best tag to point to I am new to a lot of this too, but from my reading there is merely a stronger focus on ensuring verifiability on a living persons biography. What I could not find is the sources from non-blogs explicitly describing him as important (i.e. it should not require the reader to draw conclusions or articles in something such as newspaper where he is the focus not just a passing reference.Tetron76 (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is when you look at sources such as thoe is they contribute to the notability of the book but not the author. When you look at [12] credits and he is one of four designers. Clearly it would require original research to realise that this would meet wikipedia notability. If author standards are used then clearly much more subtantial sources are needed or an award.Tetron76 (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you suspect it is an interview and not a book review I could only see top of the page which has the words D&D?Tetron76 (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A snipit view from Google indicated it was an interview with him. Hobit (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And while I'm at it -- he has one Origins Award win [17] and two additional nominations [18][19], which may qualify him for notability under WP:ANYBIO clause 1, unless the Origins Award doesn't count. Which is possible, but it's the most important award in English-speaking roleplaying, so the implications would be troublesome for notability of many articles in this category. 12.54.225.20 (talk) 21:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have spent a while following through the awards. The issue for me comes for the following:

The award was given to the book not the authors (This is an important distinction as there is still a question of notability of the author as opposed to the book/game), the category is game supplement (this is a tricky situation but the supplement means that it is neither a prize winning book nor game). Finally it was only the 3rd edition that Rob contributed to which without RS picking up the importance of the award means that the award does not verify his notability as Ed Greenwood was responsible for creating the original game. On an aside the 2010 game supplement had seven named people I think there is a definite case that the award doesn't automatically bestow notability, especially when there is a Hall of Fame category which he and his games are not inTetron76 (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we may have to agree to disagree here. My belief, from familiarity with the field, is that the Origins Awards are earned by the author of the work: e.g., Heinsoo has an Origins Award statue on his bookshelf with his name on it [20]. We might compare this to a Best Screenplay Oscar -- the award is given to the screenplay, and often screenplays have multiple writers, but nobody questions that the writers collectively earned the award. I agree that such an award doesn't automatically bestow notability, but note that Heinsoo has three nominations in disparate categories. Thanlis (talk) 20:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did find that D&D 4e won some awards but Rob is not mentioned, while I found this story [21] probably explains the difficulty in finding any WotC confirmation of importance it still regrettably leaves the key points of notability unverifiable such as his individual contribution to D&D. Tetron76 (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you find the sources calling him a major designer it would still be necessary to show that these changes had a profound effect on D&D. For example the Origins award would appear not to regard it as a distinct game whereas they do accept the difference between AD&D and D&D.Tetron76 (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, gotta disagree with you there! The Origins Awards explicitly acknowledged D&D 4th Edition as a separate game in 2009: it got a nomination as Best Roleplaying Game [22]. (Note Heinsoo's name listed as one of the three authors.) This category is not for Best Roleplaying Game Available; it's for Best Roleplaying Game of the year. New editions are explicitly not eligible unless there are significant differences to the point where it's clearly a different game. I realize I don't have a reference for this claim; I am currently digging one up and will edit this comment when I can provide one. Thanlis (talk) 20:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably he meets #2 as well: 2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. Hopefully some new cites can be found that will show that more clearly.
Anarchangel (talk) 05:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While I acknowledge that boardgames still have a major "word of mouth" recognition that doesn't apply in other areas wikipedia still requires WP:V. While there are subjective terms that are not clearly defined I would still expect that sources are produced that support this case. So [[WP:CREATIVE)) #1 widely cited by peers should have WP:RS as would #3 and the major contribution would need to be shown too. Same goes for anybio "significant" award.Tetron76 (talk) 16:57, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable public rally. Article created on same day as rally so yet lacks historical significance. If it was a spontaneous public reaction, it might be notable, but it was actually organised by political pressure groups to promote their cause. LordVetinari (talk) 09:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note on attendance: Estimated by SMH (a conservative newspaper) to be 8,000. Some attendees estimated around 10,000. Victoria Police estimated 6,000-8,000. Independent crowd-estimators estimated 7,000, building to 7,500 by event end. 7,500 appears to be a very accurate and reasonable estimate, perhaps even too low, if anything.
Comment Whether 13 minutes after article creation is too quick is debatable as is whether the entire article could have been created first in a sandbox or outside Wikipedia. I agree that the content may be notable here in Australia (at least, by the criteria of the Sydney Morning Herald, Indymedia and Yahoo7) but is it notable in an encyclopedia? Why is this particular rally historically significant that it should have its own article? In other words, what sets this rally apart from the hundreds of other rallies that take place each year? I also question the significance of a rally that, as the article and its sources admit, was organised by political pressure organisations for the purposes of promoting their causes. I also note that one of the cited sources has used the image from the wikipedia article (if one follows the copyright claims from both locations). This raises questions of the reliability of that site as source for Wikipedia. LordVetinari (talk) 11:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, let's sort out a few facts: The image used was one I took and have given permission for it to be uploaded to both WP and Indymedia under Creative Commons, what is wrong with that? The community groups are not political pressure organisations. It is not up to us to question the significance of any rally's inclusion in a free, public encyclopaedia. The article meets all of WP's policy requirements. I again request that the deletion tag to be removed immediately as all justification for deletion was passed prior to the completion of the article in it's present form. Not creating the article in sandbox does not provide justification for deletion. Nick carson (talk) 11:25, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, thank you for explaining about the picture. As you may understand, it isn't at first clear to a casual reader who happens to see both pages. Regarding Greenpeace & co., however, I question their characterisation as "community groups". They're hardly in the same calibre as a weekly sewing circle or a meetup, especially when considering their degree of organisation (as described in their respective WP articles) but perhaps we just have different interpretations of the word "community". I won't press the issue. As for notability, significant coverage in reliable sources does not imply that everything those sources significantly cover is worthy of an encyclopedia article. As I understand the article's topic, the government proposed a policy, some people said nay, then some people said yay. Why does people saying yay justify a separate article? Is there an article on the opposition's campaign? I would have thought that the price on pollution rally, if it were mentioned on WP at all, would only consist of a sentence or two here. Even that may be too much, as people oppose or support their governments all the time. Nonetheless, significant coverage does not guarantee notability, it merely presumes notability unless community consensus determines otherwise. Incidentally, regarding the sources, I suggest removing the Indymedia references as this source demonstrates that Indymedia is not independent of the subject as required by the GNG. Finally, as the AfD tag itself states, the tag cannot be removed until the discussion is closed so I guess we're both going to have to wait and see who has provided the strongest arguments. By the way, Nick, I added the "sandbox" comment solely to balance with your "too fast" suggestion. Anyway, I'll try to avoid commenting on this topic now and instead leave it up to the community. Although I respect you for presenting clear and civil arguments, it's plain we disagree with each other and I see no need for us to continue our little tiff. I look forward to editing with you in the future, preferably under different circumstances. LordVetinari (talk) 12:37, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Various Alberta place stubs[edit]

Various Alberta place stubs - (View AfD)

All of these articles were very recently created with absolute minimal content. Aside from the thought process that any place with a name is notable (which only applies to identified places), there is absolutely no rationale behind creating these several dozen stubs with the sole content of "Foo is an unincorporated community in Alberta." These can be recreated when there are sources, and more information, and not be created en-masse with basic information. Surely these are better suited in the List of unincorporated communities in Alberta?

Not to mention that most of these place names sound like developer names for cookie-cutter neighbourhoods designed to sell. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 02:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'll note that I'm not sure how to properly manually template these articles with the afd tag. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 02:23, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had some initial observations on the articles that either of you may have already made yourselves. 27 of the 32 places appeared to be within Athabasca County (all with same lat/long), while the remaining five appeared to be within MD of Bonnyville No. 87 (all with same lat/long).
I've since briefly reviewed land ownership mapping at the official web sites of the two municipalities and noticed that some of these appeared to be country residential (aka rural or acreage) subdivisions, while others appeared to be lakeside subdivisions (seasonal recreation properties). I then researched each in detail at StatCan and the CGNDB and found the following.

Spruce Valley, Alberta   Y Y 54° 51' 45" N 112° 48' 05" W Athabasca County, Alberta

Those recognized by StatCan are referred to as "localities", while those in the CGNDB are listed as "unincorporated areas".
I've since reviewed Athabasca County's 2009 Land Ownership Map, and have the following observations:

In the M.D. of Bonnyville No. 87, I could only find Beacon Corner on its 2010 Land Ownership Map. It also appears to be a locality or named location and not a community. Hwy43 (talk) 05:59, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The question is, if these were all incorporated into the two county articles in which they are located, could there ever be enough information on them to justify forking them out? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 16:46, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt any of these could ever have enough referenced information to warrant their own articles unless they have any significant ties to history like Amber Valley, which is also in Athabasca County. Hwy43 (talk) 07:03, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would certainly agree that in principle, any named community is valid as a potential article topic, regardless of size, but you're also correct that there's little to no value in keeping an unreferenced stub whose only verifiable content is the statement that the place exists. WP:HEY definitely pertains here (and I didn't even realize there was actually a named principle which encompasses the way I've already approached a good many AFDs in the past!), but I should point out as well that is often a third way between keeping crap and deleting "notable" topics: what I've often done with poor/unreferenced/unexpandable articles about unincorporated communities in Ontario is to redirect them to the article on the incorporated municipality that they're actually located in. I'm not knowledgeable enough about municipal government in Alberta to simply jump in and impose that solution myself, but it's certainly preferable, wherever possible, to just deleting an article (even a bad one) about a named community. So I guess my question would be: is Athabasca County the primary unit of local government here, or are some or all of these communities part of another municipal unit within the county, such as a city, town or other form of municipality? Generally, these should be redirected to whichever entity, be it the county or an incorporated town or city within the county, is actually responsible for providing their primary local governance — although if there are any that can't even be verified as existing at all (i.e. not listed in any of the geographic or statistical directories that we typically turn to), then those stragglers should obviously just be deleted. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Outside those that are rural country residential or rural lakeside residential subdivisions, I'm hard-pressed to believe that any of the balance of these places were ever communities that were populated or settled without any reference confirming otherwise. I've never been fond of redirecting a place article to its administrating municipality unless the article on the administrating municipality provides at least some sort of information on the redirected place... this is a personal preference though where I'm not sure if any WP policy/guideline would support this preference. I am recommending below immediate deletion of the stragglers that are not in Canada's geographical directory (the CGNDB). Hwy43 (talk) 07:03, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed another created by the editor – Academy, Alberta. It shows up at StatCan as a locality within Calgary and at the CGNDB as an unincorporated area. Should this be added to this AfD as well? I also notice it has been deemed or assumed a "ghost town". I often see new articles created on Alberta places that have also been deemed or assumed the same, but with no verifiable references and no confirmation they were ever populated in the first place. Hwy43 (talk) 23:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think it'll confuse things further, and it's already confusing with delete these, keep those. It can be nominated separately, citing to this argument. For the record, I think that you're saying to Keep 1920 of these (Bank Bay, Beacon Corner, Beaver River, Big Coulee, Big Meadow; Century Estates, Coolidge, Durlingville, Deep Creek and Grosmont; Kinikinik, Lahaieville, Lincoln and Meadowbrook; O'Morrow and Paxson, and Pelican Beach; and Pleasant View, Richmond Park, Sawdy and Spruce Valley; and on the other hand, Delete 12 others Athabascan Acres, Balay Estates, Blue Heron Estate, Deer Ridge Estate, Golden Nodding Acres, Jumping Deer Estate, Mystic Meadows, North Bay Estate, North Skeleton Beach Estates, Pelican Beach, Perch Cove Estates, and Pickerel Point, and Pleasant View. It would help if the nominator would take some of these off the table. Of course, it would have helped if somebody hadn't decided to slap up 32 articles without any remote interest in the subject matter... Mandsford 03:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC) Never mind. Mandsford 14:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes to deleting the above 12 as I just amended (originally indicated Pleasant View when I meant Pelican Beach). I would prefer the 20 (including Century Estates) also be deleted as well if the editor or someone else doesn't offer to save these articles. I don't intend to adopt or feed these kittens. (Note that Academy is neither within the 12 or the 20 as you suggested. If all 32 are deleted, I'll nominate Academy separately.) Hwy43 (talk) 05:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC) Revised (see below).[reply]
Yes to keeping the remaining 20 (refer to my revised comments above that clarify this position). Hwy43 (talk) 06:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to leave all of them up so that any newcomers to the discussion can see the others, in case they have an opinion on what to do to them. The way I see it, its best to improve the one large list of Alberta communities by sourcing it and clearing up the list, then to merge/redirect those 19/20 articles to the list and delete the other dozen. In Ontario, most communities of even considerable size (ie Midhurst, Ontario) redirect to their parent municipality, which are far more comprehensive articles on the area at large. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 05:47, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Notwithstanding my preference on the 20 in my last comment, I do agree with Mandsford that these could be dealt with later. Hwy43 (talk) 17:42, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. At this point I support deleting the dozen listed above, but am leaving the others on the list in case somebody else feels more belong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floydian (talk • contribs) 17:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC) [reply]
Not much comment has been received yet. Could it be that the large size of the nomination is discouraging others to comment? Hwy43 (talk) 06:03, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It appears I have unnecessarily muddied things by originally providing a position on the 12 (delete), and stating a preference on the other 20 (delete if they aren't improved) instead of an outright position. To be more direct, my official positions are delete the 12 and keep the 20 (see above). Hwy43 (talk) 06:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of 12[edit]

For reference, here are the 12, I think I'm seeing a consensus to continue the AfD only with these:

  • Not sure if a MLS would be considered a reliable source. Using the county-published 2009 Land Ownership Map would be a more reliable source, which refers to the subdivision's name in the plural form. The singular form of the name may be a realtor's typo. Hwy43 (talk) 03:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No joke, there are many decent-size governmental subdivisions in places like India and Indonesia that have no articles, and many other such articles in horrible shape.--Milowent • talkblp-r 21:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this deletion is without prejudice.  I found another listing that shows that Balay Estate or Balay Estates or Balay Subdivision is populated, and populated areas are generally considered notable.  This one can't be adequately/reliably identified currently, so is not notable, but I think it would not take a lot for it to qualify.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:02, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • In some cases, they would not be worth covering in the article of the corresponding community.

  • I also believe that more than just notability determines whether an article is worthy of continued existence (in its current state). The article should actually tell us something about the topic.

I'll just point out that while 'outcomes' is true and that the precedent is generally followed, it is not policy. There is no inherent non notability for primary and middle schools, but they must, like any other subject, assert their notability per WP:N, supported by reliable sources that can be verified. Kudpung (talk) 00:46, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
and Kudpung sums it up correctly, it's not policy, and there's no absolute right to high schools or absolute bar to lower level schools. "General result" probably should have been described as "usual outcome" with a reminder that it's not a policy or guideline. Mandsford 04:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No reliable sources to meet notability for a musical act.

Plenty of sources have been given, but here's a rundown:

The link http://www.independentmusicawards.com/ima/2010/latentanxiety/ shows an interview entitled: "Discover Artists Submitting to 10th IMAs: Latent Anxiety" --KDSRRGurl (talk) 16:07, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Last.fm wiki/bio cannot be used for Wikipedia purposes; however, Last.fm fans CAN NOT upload albums to the site. Albums must be uploaded directly by the artist or the record label, or imported directly from Last.fm record label partners. Last.fm records the number of 'Last.fm registered listeners' the artist has, and the number of times each listener plays a track. ie. http://www.last.fm/music/Latent+Anxiety/+albums Five albums have been uploaded to the Last.fm database by Latent Anxiety. Each album includes a track listing and track times, and pertinent information, if any (official release date). --> http://www.last.fm/music/Latent+Anxiety/Detonation --> Refer to Last.fm faqs for "Can I add new albums to Last.fm or edit existing ones (for instance, their track listings)?" http://www.last.fm/help/faq?category=97#355 --> Therefore Last.fm should suffice as a source for confirmation of album release only and that it has a number of listeners which have confirmed it's existence via the listener stats. --KDSRRGurl (talk) 16:07, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, the band exists, but the easiest way to have a Wikipedia entry for a band is to win a major award or have a very successful single/album. If the article is deleted by consensus, myself or another admin can move the article to your account to continue working on it, then it can be moved back into the articlespace proper. tedder (talk) 07:36, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability criteria that seem to be met:

"1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself."

Comment on "Reviews that don't exist online, such as Dark Spy Magazine..." (tedder): Not all print magazines publish their content online. Print media without additional online content do not necessarily compromise verifiability. In this case reviews are online from volume 27, see under "Musik-Reviews" on whereas the cited review was allegedly printed in volume 26.

"5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster)."
The music project released 5 albums. The independent label "...was created in the Spring of 1999..." according to their website. The label's roster has various artists including: "Mortal Loom has garnered a reputation for international excellence, working with many artists including Chris and Cosey of CTI as well as other artists around the world."

"9. Has won or placed in a major music competition."
Listed under Awards and Nominations but I'm not sure if these count as major competitions, perhaps in the independent music scene.

Citation links for awards require correction, however, http://www.eworldmusicawards.com/node/44 awards can be verified. --KDSRRGurl (talk) 16:07, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]



Industrialhammer (talk) 00:21, 6 March 2011 (UTC) — Industrialhammer (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

In reference to Music Street Journal's reviews. This is posted by Gary Hill, publisher of Music Street Journal. If what you mean by a review mill is someone who does reviews for pay and only does positive reviews, then in one sense that's accurate. We only do positive reviews, but that just means if we don't like something more than dislike it we don't cover it. And the reasoning behind that is that we don't have time to cover all the good stuff, so it makes no sense wasting time on bad stuff. Also, we feel that describing music is more important than stating a thumbs up or thumbs down because personal tastes vary. I came to that concept when I read a review trashing a Candlemass album. Fortunately the review went into details as to what was wrong about the disc. Those attributes told me I'd like it - and I bought it and loved it.
If you mean that we'll review anything that gets sent to us, to a degree that is accurate, too. Within the following rules: As mentioned before, we need to like the item more than dislike it. And, two, that item needs to be available for the public to get in some manner - either through free download or purchase or some method. It doesn't make any sense for us to tell someone how great something is and then tell them that they can't get it.
We've been publishing since 1998 and, therefore, have covered a LOT of stuff. We've done interviews with many big name artists - including Godsmack, Yes, Queensryche, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Hawkwind and many more. We've also been considered a "go to" source by a lot of progressive rock musicians and fans.
I hope these things help to clear that up in one way or another. Thanks.

    This is not reputable. There source does not give the information listed and gives the reader barely any information. Intoronto1125 (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Every of the articles nominated by the user Intoronto1125 today clearly meets the guidelines for notability in Wikipedia:Notability. If there are problems with the layout of the article or with the references, there are other tools to mark an article. All the contributions of user Intoronto1125 in badminton related articles are in my opinion closed to vandalism or vandalism at all (see move log of Channarong Ratanaseangsuang). If this user has problems with the sport badminton, he should not use wikipedia to show his. --Florentyna (talk) 16:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


    The user Intoronto1125 states, that in all these badminton articles are problems with references. But if there are missing sources or there are problems with sources, one should use another template like for instance {BLP sources}. A missing or wrong source is no reason for a deletion request. And at the end it is not right what he is saying about the missing references - every of the articles has a reference section where one can download all the results of the championships line by line. In the link Badminton Europe - Details of affilated national organisations on every page one will find a pdf-document with everything is needed (except for Vietnam). --Florentyna (talk) 16:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Like I already mentioned, a wrong, missing or disappeared reference is no reason for a deletion request (if the article meets the notability guidelines). There are other templates like refimprove to indicate an article for missing or wrong references. Nevertheless before using this, one can also try himself to update the references. Here it was very easy to update the reference using [29]. --Florentyna (talk) 07:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    It (the deletion template) is the wrong template - national championships are in general notable. See for instance: A national championship season at the top collegiate level is generally notable in Wikipedia:Notability (sports). And this championship is much higher than a collegiate one. The article is "only" incomplete, but it is the only information one can get from the web. User Intoronto1125 only found a dead link, what is no reason at all for a AfD debate. --Florentyna (talk) 17:27, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Promotional page from organization formed in 2010. Though there are several references listed that announced the organization when it was created, none of them are from anything resembling notable media. This is the only Google News hit - http://sdgln.com/causes/2010/12/24/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states - and it's just a repost of http://dot429.com/articles/2010/12/16/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states , which appears to just be some sort of social networking site. B (talk) 05:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    The organisation has gained much media attention in the printed press in the south of the UK. One such article can be found here: http://www.petersfieldpost.co.uk/news/bordon/online_anti_bullying_campaign_launched_1_1996104
    The http://dot429.com/articles/2010/12/16/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states and http://sdgln.com/causes/2010/12/24/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states are written by the smae author and do contain some subtle differances, it apears that the journalist works for both organisations but only conducted one interview.
    http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/10/Dec/3101.htm is also a news site with many articles relating to the orginisation.
    Spirit FM and RadioReverb, both radio stations in the south of the UK have also interviewed the organisation, http://www.spiritfm.net/news/review.php?article=340505 was an article showing this, however, is no longer avalible but http://www.radioreverb.com/index.php?id=107 still is.
    Although some of the articles cannot necessarily be proven to be notable media the vast volume of articles displayed when 'GRIN Campapign' is typed into Google is clear evidence of the notability of the campaign.jointheworldcouk (talk) 19:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    This article does not demonstrate the notability of the subject. It has been speedily deleted before for A7. The current incarnation has been tagged ((notability)) and ((primarysources)) since May 2010. The only reference is to a page belonging to CORDIS, the official information source for the program that partially funds ONTORULE, and thus not independent—quite possibly the CORDIS page is an ONTORULE press release. —teb728 t c 07:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    This list is a bad idea. Apart from being arguably a non-notable subject, categorising fictional characters by whether they're 'alive' or 'dead' has been firmly rejected on many previous occasions: see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 9#Category:Deceased fictional characters, Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 September 6#Category:Deceased fictional characters, Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 18#Category:Dead fictional characters. That should apply to lists as much as categories. Describing a fictional character as 'deceased' is pretty silly when you think about it. Robofish (talk) 16:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Following on from discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Encyclopedia_of_the_Medieval_Chronicle, the Wikipedia article Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle was authored by the real life general editor of the work, Doric Loon (talk · contribs). Published late last year, Doric Loon has since authored Wikipedia articles on the book for at least four different Wikipedia projects, including English wiki, whilst inserting it into hundreds of articles as a 'reference'. The work came out only last year, and far from having any clear notability, is probably unknown to most academics, and indeed is yet to be fully distributed (though as the book search reveals, copies of many articles had been made available to some academics prior to its publication).

    I don't know whether I should be writing here when I'm not a Wikipedia member, but my supervisor wrote for this encyclopedia, so I know a little about it. Although it only appeared on paper six months ago, the people who worked on it, which includes all the big names in the field, had access to the database over the last five years, which means that for them it already has a track record. I'm not sure what would count as proof of notability here, but you might want to look at "Narrative Sources" (http://www.narrative-sources.be/colofon_nl.php). If you put the title of the Encyclopedia into the search engine, you will find that it is cited there 605 times as an authority. Actually, you should think about writing a Wikipedia article on Narrative Sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.223.36.96 (talk) 14:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


    OK, it is really time to wind this thing up. The vote would appear to be three “keeps” (Euro, unregistered 93.233.36.96, and me), four “deletes” (Deacon of Pndapetzim and Accusativen Hos Olsson, and ambivalently (?) Snrec and GeorgeLouis) and one waiting for evidence (Monty845). Since the last two edits did provide evidence of notability, it would be interesting to know what Snrec, GeorgeLouis and Monty845 now think, but they haven’t been back since that was added. At any rate, this seems to be a fairly even split, and so I have asked for admins to come in and decide the matter.
    I think it’s clear that notability is the only issue here. If anyone is still worried about the CoI issue, please see the comments I just made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Medieval Chronicle Society.--Doric Loon (talk) 07:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    You want to Keep it as the author, Euro wants to keep it because he is also an author, the other anon is a former phd student of an author .... so you and two single purpose accounts (brought in by yourself?) want to keep, and everyone else thinks it should be deleted.

    Delete - I'm not seeing the third party coverage here - nothing on Google news, only passing mentions in Google books, and no reviews in Google scholar. Fails to meet the notability criteria. The fact that it may be notable eventually or that it's an impressive reference work doesn't allow us to ignore the notability requirements. If so, we'd have articles on all books published.

    The result was redirect to The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. There is no consensus to keep the material, which is unsourced, and a quick search turned up nothing on the topic, though plenty of use of the term in Baum's stories. A redirect of the title was seen as useful, though there was no agreement on target. I am redirecting to The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus as that article mentions both Knooks and Ryls.

    Not a particularly notable minor league baseball player. Yes, he was "once touted as one of Major League Baseball's top prospects," however many, many players have been named "top prospects," therefore that in itself does not make him notable enough for an article. It is debatable whether his collegiate accomplishments merit an article. His placement on the 40-man roster is not inherently notable either. The long and short of it is that he became a 12-21 pitcher with a 6.30 ERA that never went above Double-A, who in my humble opinion does not merit an article.

    This seems to be a low quality article with no obvious reason for its existence. Any material could be included in tea, Chinese tea, or Taiwanese tea culture. There seems to be a proliferation of low quality articles on closely related topics. It would be better to work on high quality articles with redirects as are useful. I can only compare this to beer: There is no article for Scottish beer, English beer, Belgian beer, etc. Why should there be an article for Taiwan teas?

    This page continues to suffer from point-of-view creep, which only seems to be getting worse as more gossip-style material is continuing to be added. My recommendation again, is to place this page in the Wikipedia Incubator area, or to merge it back to its parent article, with substantial trimming, or to simply remove it entirely. Avanu (talk) 04:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Richard, may I draw your attention please to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion
    This deletion nomination completely fits the guidelines listed. It is a content fork, a potention POV fork, a potential BLP breach, and potentially not encyclopedic. In addition, I provide several suggested alternatives to deletion of the material, and support those as fully, which is also a AfD guideline (Alternatives to deletion). -- Avanu (talk) 05:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    From WP:NOTCLEANUP "With that said, if an article is so bad that it is harmful in its current state, then deleting now, and possibly recreating it later, remains an option." My contention is that it is harmful and getting worse, and needs to be removed or cured. As Huey Lewis said "Sometimes Bad Is Bad." -- Avanu (talk) 05:23, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:NTEMP defines "routine coverage" as "as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage". These articles are clearly not simply routine coverage of hockey games, but in depth profiles of an individual. There is a difference between "sports coverage" and profiles of an individual. There are thousands of college hockey players in the U.S. Very very few of them will have in depth detailed looks at their careers published in multiple reliable sources as Mr. Haczyk has had. I don't see how you can say this is "routine" at all. It does not matter whether he meets WP:NHOCKEY or whether you think his career is notable. If you read Wikipedia:Notability (sports) it clearly states that "This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson, sports league, or an amateur/professional sports league organization will meet the general notability guideline". It is not a requirement above the GNG! As shown above, he easily meets GNG. Qrsdogg (talk) 05:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment on sources - The refs that Qrsdogg has given might be considered as questionable sources as they are expressing views that are promotional, or which rely heavily on personal opinion. And yes, those kind of articles are routine for college and junior hockey players. Onthegogo (talk) 15:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Promotional? What are these websites selling? If you read the link you cited in context it refers to websites that are by nature devoted to promoting a certain idea, not individual articles that might reflect the author's point of view. In any case, it isn't at all uncommon for sportswriters to include their opinion of an athlete in an article about the subject-that has no bearing on whether the publication is a reliable source or not. Anyway, it does not matter if you think the coverage is routine or if he is a notable athlete, what matters is how Wikipedia defines "routine coverage" and "notability" in the relevant policies.

    No sources are provided to establish notability of this youth organization. An external link verifies their existence, but no evidence is provided for notability. A search in news and scholarly sources in both English and Polish produced no results. Unless multiple, independent sources can be found that discuss this subject in detail, it should be deleted per WP:N. Note that this may be the same organization as Communist Youth of Poland, which is also undergoing an AfD at the moment; relevant discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Communist Youth of Poland. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:51, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Apologies, but WP:N is core policy, and not lightly set aside. Furthermore, the article now and even the stub-sentence you suggest would violate WP:V, because we have no way of verifying it. Anyone can create a website that claims to be about a group with hundreds or thousands of members, and claim to be part of a larger organization, and none of it may be true. The whole point of both WP:N and WP:V is that they make it so that we don't have to guess or make subjective decisions about what may or may not be encyclopedic content. Otherwise, it just comes down to "your word versus mine", where you insist its notable, and I say it isn't. I cannot see any justification in allowing an article about an organization to exist without some independent evidence that this organization has some form of notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:29, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    "your word versus mine"? In which dimension do you normally edit Wikipedia? It's always that way, especially when N is fundamentally subjective, and RS is inherently subjective or can be assessed subjectively: "multiple", "independent", "reliable", "third-party", "published" sources "with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". About the only word in that that isn't is "sources", and I am sure someone can think up a dubious definition of that, too, and get enough people to agree with them to make it policy, by virtue of the subjectively valued supremacy of the majority delineated by the WP rule of "consensus". I may go along with it, but I don't pretend it is some fundamental law of the universe. It's just a way of trimming down the encyclopedia, and for what reason is a little unclear, because WP is not paper. What I believe Carrite is saying is we don't need to and shouldn't trim this one. Anarchangel (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I totally agree with the above that there is an enormous amount of subjectivity in the application of Wikipedia inclusion criteria. What gets challenged to AfD and why? These things are not random. There is a certain amount of reason and rationality used by editors in deciding to challenge this or to leave that alone. Not every article is subjected to a certain set of holy and immutable Notability Rules delivered from the mountaintop by Moses. Things are considered, contemplated, pondered, and sussed out. Here's my view, and it's not made "lightly" — topics of substance, things that should be in an encyclopedia, should not be lopped off lightly. If there is anything commercially-intended or vanity driven or trivial — by all means, hold that to rigid standards of inclusion-worthiness. But if something belongs in an encyclopedia, like, for instance, information about political parties or their youth sections — then tread very lightly indeed. This is a weak, faintly sourced, stub article as it sits. There may come a day when it is fleshed out. Or not. But even the content here has worth and should not be disposed due to its alleged failure to meet muster to "guidelines." Carrite (talk) 19:16, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I add: I don't dispute the good intent of the person making this particular challenge. AfD in general has a certain "shape" to it... There are certain hot button type of articles that get challenged for this reason or that; other types of articles are ignored. I just want to make it clear that I don't feel that this particular challenge is tendentious, only ill-advised. Carrite (talk) 19:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that topics of substance should be in an encyclopedia. The way we demonstrate that an article is a topic of substance is by showing that it has been the subject of significant discussion in multiple, independent, reliable sources. If you (or anyone else) can do that, then the article should be kept. Otherwise, why should I or anyone else believe this "belongs" or is a noteworthy subject? Does the mere fact of someone having a website claiming to be a political party or youth movement automatically generate some form of notability? You say it's "faintly sourced," but, in fact, it doesn't have even a single source other than its own website. Anyone at all can make a website claiming to be a notable political party; this does not inherently make that group notable enough for inclusion. Not that it matters much, but the only reason I found this page was because an editor made an "edit semiprotected" request on [[[Communist Youth of Poland]]), which is a category I regularly look at to help non-autoconfirmed editors make changes to semi-protected pages. After looking at the page for a few days, doing my due dilligence and searching for reliable sources, I believed that the article did not meet the general notability guidelines. There was no malice, this wasn't a particular hot-button issue for me; it was just an article I found basically by chance that did not meet guidelines, that I attempted and was unable to make it meet the guidelines, and thus I nominated it for deletion.

    What would be the definition of PMP in Wikipedia?
    Unfortunately, the Polish version of Wikipedia is dominated by supporters of neo-liberalism and the extreme right, which is why the entry relating to the PMP is regularly removed. This shows that more explicitly about censorship prevailing in the popular Polish-language website. Despite this, we can give you a definition of PMP below:
    Progressive Youth of Poland (PMP) - Leftist unregistered youth organization operating in the Polish Republic. It is a youth organization, independent of political parties. PMP is the result of transformation of the Communist Youth of Poland into Progressive Youth of Poland in May 2009. The emergence of the KMP [(Communist Youth of Poland) - clarification by translator] and the beginning of its operation date back to November 1996 in the Sudety mountains.
    I don't know what to make of this, but someone more versed in contemporary Polish affairs may have a better idea, so I thought it ought to be noted.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Notability concerns with a side order of BLP, etc. The only English or Japanese reliable sources I can find concern this actors work in porn, thus my addition of his third-billed role in a film whose title translates as "Latest Soap Technique". The articles on several of the TV series listed here don't mention the actor. This IMDB entry [51] lists all or nearly all porn work. It's even possible that this is a partial hoax, dunno, but in any case, I doubt this actor meets WP:PORNSTAR, don't see any verification that would lead me to believe he meets WP:ENTERTAINER, and don't see sourcing sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Additional sources welcomed, of course, if notability can be established under any of these three policies. --joe deckertalk to me 07:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a duplicate article - one already exists on Wikipedia at Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School. I suggest the AfD is cancelled, and the smaller AfD-nominated article is simply blanked and redirected to the larger one. This is a primary school, not a secondary school. I would support deletion and suggest that information on the school instead be included in the parent article Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association. --Simple Bob a.k.a.

    There exist two separate, independently functioning institute buildings of Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Marathi Medium. one is Primary section and the other one is secondary. also there exist a separate, independently functioning institute buildings of Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium.

    I can find no reliable, third-party sources discussing this forest (under this name or "Trimble Township Community Forest"). Zero news archive or book its, only a few hundred web hits, including WP mirrors, affiliated sites, and calendar of event-type listings. I think the subject fails WP:N. Novaseminary (talk) 21:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Fair enough. And I would not be upset if there was a common set of agreement that it should be removed. Part of what I do plan to add to the article, should it survive, is the extensive coal-mining history, ONCE I have documentation, for what it's worth. I AM very concerned about the concept of third-party noteworthiness. I am sure that I could dig up some historical fact from hundreds of years ago that appears in Wikipedia but that has not been mentioned in any scholarly (or popular) publication for many years, if I tried hard enough. So should such a thing be removed? When something exists in a large way -- like Highlands Sanctuary, which I very strongly feel should be included in Wikipedia (I mean, 5,000 acres in the heart of Ohio and steadily growing! -- the TNC component is another 12,000+ acres!), but doesn't seem to appear much in the news, and so is threatened for removal, I feel concern about whether Wikipedia really is being encyclopedic. However, that's not to say that the TCF is "newsworthy." jaknouse (talk) 22:23, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment The idea would be to gather the sources first, then write the article based on the sources, not personal knowledge. That way WP:N and WP:V are satisfied all together. Since anyone can edit, that is the only way we have to ensure WP is and remains encyclopedic. Novaseminary (talk) 22:29, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Move to Trimble Township Community Forest  While I see "Trimble Community Forest" in searches, I have yet to see any I'd consider reliable (including the map in the article).  In fact, the "Trimble Community Forest" reference I used for the Coords seems to be in error pointing to a "Trimble Wilderness Area" Google place.  I did not find this forest in GNIS, but a map from the state of Ohio (pub038.pdf) I am considering to be a quality independent reliable secondary source for the mapping and the name.  WP:5 policy shows that Wikipedia is partly a gazetteer.  So given verifiability in a quality map I think we only need a tad more reliable information to qualify as a gazetteer entry and provide something useful to readers and satisfy policy.  Unscintillating (talk) 21:50, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I'm sure it is a real place. But even searching under the proper name, there still doesn't seem to be significant coverage ("sources address the subject directly in detail") in reliable third-party sources (as noted in the nom). Gazetteer entries still need to meet WP:N. If the article is kept, though, I certainly agree with the move proposal. Novaseminary (talk) 22:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    (ec)I think you are referring not to WP:N so much as WP:GNG.  I'm still coming up to speed on this, but...I think that gazetteer entries do not need to meet WP:GNG for many reasons.  (1) WP:N can be satisfied under the definition of notability "worthy of notice", to which WP:GNG is subserviant.  (2) WP:Deletion policy (as is also indicated in WP:N) provides alternate guidelines to WP:N.  One candidate is WP:Notability (geography), which is in limbo between being an essay and being a guideline.  (3) WP:N is a guideline, so does not trump WP:5 which is fundamental principles.  (4) The essay WP:OtherStuffExists notes that it is a valid argument to have consistency in the encyclopedia.  There are tens of thousands of gazetteer entries in the encyclopedia. This is supported by WP:UCS which is a variation of WP:IAR which means that the rules are not to interfere with improving the encyclopedia.
    As a specific response, I believe that pub038 is significant in identifying the topic (source addresses the subject directly in detail) as would most good maps.  However, I've noticed since my first post that the Ohio DNR donated money to this land, so there is an argument that they are not independent.  See also, Wikipedia:Notability (Geographic locations) and Wikipedia:Common outcomes#Geography and astronomy.  FYI, Unscintillating (talk) 00:05, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The project was funded by the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, an open, competitive granting process that is based on a bond issue twice strongly approved by Ohio voters. In order to carry through on an acquisition project, the grantee must record and enforce appropriate deed restrictions. However, beyond that, the state has no direct role in the land or its administration. I deal with these on a daily basis. Oh, and the map in the article can be affirmed based on the GIS shapefiles provided by Athens County, Ohio government and made available to the public at this outlink: [52]. I am a professional map maker and it would be bizarre to suggest that I would make any map that is not as accurate as possible. You can view other maps at [53]. jaknouse (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes, I talked with the President of Appalachia Ohio Alliance a couple of days ago, and he affirmed that the correct name is Trimble Township Community Forest, not Trimble Community Forest. jaknouse (talk) 22:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    (1) If you will, take a look at an article I rewrote, Barber Island.  I suspect that this article does not pass WP:GNG the way that you are reading it, yet it has a place in the encyclopedia.  (2) I see the section in WP:V, but when you are looking at WP:V that is article content policy, see WP:NNC for more info.  And compare with WP:Deletion policy, which also references WP:N.  (3) Also, the sentence near the end of WP:GNG, "A topic for which <WP:GNG> is deemed to have been met by consensus, is usually worthy of notice, and satisfies one of the criteria for a stand-alone article in the encyclopedia" (emphasis added).  So even if WP:GNG is met, a topic might not satisfy the definition of notability in WP:N, "worthy of notice"; and so likewise, even if WP:GNG is not met, a topic may still satisfy the definition.  (4) Then also in WP:N, there are the two sentences, "A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guideline below and is not excluded by WP:NOT. A topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right."  So, WP:GNG+N is but one path to notability.  WP:Deletion policy says the same thing. 
    I'm not saying this is responsive to all of your point in relation to WP:V, but there has got to be more middle ground than we have now.  Unscintillating (talk) 07:40, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The existence of names for Barber Island is evidence that people consider the island to be "worthy of notice".  Cartographers are in the business of documenting named geographic features so that we have independent reliable third-party secondary (one step removed) sources for these names.  Unscintillating (talk) 07:40, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I am not opposed to WP "incorporat(ing) elements of ... gazetteers" of course. Though as you acknowledge, the subject must still meet N somehow. I disagree that the two sources you mentioned meet GNG. One is a few sentence blurb. The other (#3) is good, but that plus a blurb plus affiliated press releases and OR doesn't meet GNG in my opinion. If this meets it, many high school honors students listed in local papers a few times for getting honors and then profiled once in a local paper would meet WP:GNG. That (and this) doesn't seem to be the significant coverage GNG expects. Novaseminary (talk) 18:24, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Although this was a tragic event, it does not appear to meet the criteria for event notability outlined at WP:EVENT. In particular, "[r]outine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) - whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time - are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance." — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 00:53, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    People expect Chem labs to explode and bars to have beer-bottle fights, but a throat slashing in the Chem lab is remarkable. As a precedent, the University of Maryland, College Park article makes reference to the death of Len Bias. Racepacket (talk) 08:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability is not defined by how "remarkable" an editor perceives the event to have been. The death of Len Bias is far beyond comparison for multiple reasons, primarily because he was notable before his death, his death meets the criteria set forth in WP:EVENT, and he was not a murder victim. (There were apparently 124 murders on college campuses in the United States just between 1998 to 2003.[60] I haven't checked on who they were, but I doubt most of them are mentioned in their respective college or university articles.)
