Associate professor of physics at University of Nova Gorica since 2006. Says he has co-authored more than 400 papers, but only found 2 papers in which he was primary author. Other claim of fame is chair of the organizing committee of the International Conference on Time and Matter and the editor of the proceedings of the conference. Usually the proceedings is a collection of abstracts or short papers from people giving talks at the conference. Article was created by User:Sstanic. Bgwhite (talk) 23:57, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:ACADEMIC. Google scholar search brings up very few citations to his work. --LK (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: A member of a high energy physics collaboration will generally be a coauthor of every paper produced by the collaboration, which explains the 400 papers. In large collaborations, the number of coauthors can be in the hundreds or thousands. This certainly makes it more difficult for someone outside of the collaboration to judge whether an individual member is notable. The subject's personal web site contains a list of all the papers. Will Orrick (talk) 03:18, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't these papers on GS? Why are there no cites to them? Xxanthippe (talk) 04:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I'm not sure how Google deals with the hundreds-of-coauthors problem. If you type "Abreu Delphi" or "Abe Belle" you get lots of hits. (Abreu is a member of Delphi whose name appears early in the alphabet; same with Abe and Belle.) Stanič appears to have been a member of Delphi between about 1997 and 2000, and of Belle starting in 2001. If you examine papers by the collaboration in the relevant date range, you will find Stanič's name on the author list. Some of these papers have been cited hundreds of times. But again, I don't know how one judges the contributions of individual coauthors. Being on a series of papers with thousands of citations doesn't necessarily mean you're notable if you're one of hundreds of coauthors. Will Orrick (talk) 05:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I can see the problem. I think it up to the proponents of the paper to prove notability to the satisfaction of editors. It seems that little independent achievement outside the team has been demonstrated. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

• Delete. These papers are on Google Scholar and have been cited. A 'better' search is not difficult: searching for "S Stanič" as an author finds 309 papers and gives him an h-index around 30. Quite a nice illustration of the dangers of a simplistic interpretation of citation indices, however: I checked the most highly-cited ones, which each have well over a hundred authors and arise from the Belle Collaboration, an international collaboration of more than 400 physicists and engineers (if you believe Wikipedia). Normalizing h by a divisor reflecting the average number of co-authors (as Hirsch suggested in his original paper) would seem likely to give a quotient in single figures and hence provide little or no evidence that he might satisfy the first criterion of WP:ACADEMIC#Criteria. Neither did I see anything in the GNews & GBooks results that would constitute significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Qwfp (talk) 09:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this helpful input. A search for "author:Samo Stanič" gives far fewer. I agree with your conclusions. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

• Delete. According to the Web of Science, the papers that he has co-authored have been cited over 11,000 times and he has an h-index of 52 (BTW again showing that WoS is much more reliable in this sort of thing than GS). Normally, these figures would lead to a snowball keep based on WP:PROF #1. However, I expressed my concerns about this article already a while ago (here). As others already point out above, this huge productivity/citation record is caused by his participation in a few huge project, but he seems to have been only a minor player in them. So in this case, the citation record is not decisive. I see nothing else that would go some way to meeting one of the other criteria of WP:ACADEMIC. --Crusio (talk) 10:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a good example of how simplistic h-index or other methods of citation counting can be. In such a case as this the best thing to do, in the absence of sources demonstrating a pass of the general notability guideline, is to go with the judgement of the subject's university, which hasn't appointed him to a full professorship. Associate professors at the world's top universities may sometimes be notable, but I don't think that the University of Nova Gorica falls into that category. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody suggests that citation data should be interpreted simplisticly. The data need the careful examination that has been given in this AfD and which has revealed the true state of affairs. Maybe a sentence needs to be added to WP:Prof to alert to the not very common situation of large research groups. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:45, 1 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

• Delete. Concur with above: numerous papers, for which there's no demonstrable evidence of significant scholarly contribution. Two of these papers listed on WoS show an "S Stanic" as first author, but they are from the late 1980s, which is about 10 years prior to when this Stanic earned his PhD – presumably a different person. Would probably be OK if some other accompanying work that can specifically be credited to him could be found, but none seems to exist. Agricola44 (talk) 20:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

• Comment. He's not just "some" high school coach. Richardson was a very highly regarded Georgia high school coach, as the current article hints and other sources bear out, e.g. [1][2][3]. I don't know if there's enough coverage to justify a separate article under the tough notability standards that generally apply to high school coaches, but he is an important figure in the history of his school, justifying at minimum mention and a merge/redirect to Southwest Magnet High School--except that, unfortunately, it appears that the current article may be a copyvio of the press release announcing his 2007 induction into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.[4]--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and Redirect'- Fan favourite isn't good enough. Hasn't been in any side stories, anime, movies, cartoons. Hasn't been in any crossover games.

  • I, as the creator of the article, have never played a single video game ever made that features Makoto, and the only Street Fighter game that I've ever owned is Street Fighter II for the Game Boy. This article is written from the perspective of someone who pretty much knows nothing about the character in terms of gameplay, and the discussion of her techniques delves far outside simply listing attacks and discussing how they came up with them. Additionally, I must remind everyone that the character's importance in the series has nothing to do with notability. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 05:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment- You should really think before you type. Importance is all about being notable. The definition of notable, is popular. Well known. If you are well known, you are important. I created the Elena article. It wasn't accepted because she wasn't important to the series. I don't think it's fair that Makoto should be spotlighted for now. ♥Phrasia (talk) 05:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below." Elena was sourced with one Wikia entry (not reliable source), one YouTube video (not reliable source), and Capcom (self-published source). Not one sourced utilized in the article asserted notability. I must point out that you are comparing two articles together, and I must ask why you consider them to be similar in notability. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

• Delete. Wikipedia is not for potentially infinite word lists like this one. As modern forms of Latin, Italian and Romanian are so closely related that unlike in List of Latin words with English derivatives (which is already a borderline case), we would have to list about half of those two languages' vocabularies.

Unsure about notability (does WP:NONPROFIT apply?), sources are shaky (only few mention the project at all). bender235 (talk) 21:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: No indication of notability and with all the external links within the article, it seems like a website. BurtAlert (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to strike my delete vote (for lack of a better term) due to laziness on my part and apologize for any biting. In light of the new sources, this is definitely a keep. BurtAlert (talk) 22:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This group is associated with Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. This is a valid group with a long history. The page does needs work to comply with Wiki standards.--User:Warrior777 (talk) 05:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both are valid groups. Project No One Leaves is independent from the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, as it involves chapters throughout Boston and the country. It was founded by Bureau members, however, and refers many cases to the Bureau. — Saalevine (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep - It seems like there is adequate third-party sourcing to get this one over the notability bar. See, for example, this article from the Harvard Law Bulletin, "Staunching the Foreclosure Crisis: ‘Project No One Leaves’ keeps people in their homes." Carrite (talk) 19:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A quick reminder here to all not to bite the newcomers... This article seems to have been created in good faith and should, in fact, clear the notability bar. It's a bit of a mess in terms of style, which is not surprising given that it seems to be a first effort by the editor. I'll work on it. Carrite (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - For additional evidence of notability, see the following article in a scholarly journal: Nicholas Hartigan, "No One Leaves: Community Mobilization as a Response to the Foreclosure Crisis in Massachusetts," Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, vol. 45, pp. 181-204.

With an Alexa Traffic Rank of 224,938 it is fair to say that this website does not meet WP:WEB. bender235 (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• keep I don't really care about alexa ranking, I'm more of a source kinda guy, and the article has a large number of references from reliable sources that appear to meet general notability. Dennis Brown (talk) 21:09, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I don't see Alexa rank in WP:WEB, notability is about coverage, not use or popularity. That said, alot of those references either are unrelated to the notability of CardHub, or are only referencing a study by CardHub. None the less, it appears there are enough valid notability sources to pass the notability threshold. Monty₈₄₅ 21:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Ample sources available, as I mentioned in the deletion review. Glad to see the article is back now, sources added. Dream Focus 22:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral. Although there are plenty of sources, I have to point out that many do not provide levels of "significant coverage" required by WP:GNG. For example, many of the sources from source #18 through #33, as of the version I am viewing ([9]), only mention CardHub.com as a source of statistics, without in-depth coverage of CardHub.com itself and what it actually does. In my opinion, these sources do not "address the subject directly in detail". Guoguo12--Talk--  02:32, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree with what you are saying, in principal, but it would appear that CardHub.com is very frequently used as a source of statistics, and many examples are given in the citations. That alone speaks volumes about the company and their notability, when taken as a whole, as many RS qualified sources consider them reliable enough (and in essence, notable enough) to quote. By itself, perhaps not enough, but taken as a whole it would appear to bolster the notability of the company. Dennis Brown (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yes it's a small piece of household paraphernalia, but perhaps you could explain exactly why doesn't that qualify it for an article?

Keep for much the same reasons, drawer pull is another example. Soccer star99 (talk) 20:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May I be so bold as to point you both in the direction of WP:OTHERSTUFF? Taking this article, and the subject, on its own merits, we have no reason to keep it. Just because a thing exists, doesn't mean it should have an article. There is not a long history of important technological innovation or design behind a curtain hook.

• Strong Merge or Strong Redirect to Curtain as the subject, considered independently, does not appear to have any significant history. The Curtain article is not over-long. Rings, hooks, eyelets and similar curtainy paraphernalia may be discussed there. A separate article is only warranted if the subject is independently significant or takes up too large a proportion of the main article, neither of which appears to be the case. I should point out, too, that this AfD shouldn't be a discussion of whether the subject is notable for inclusion, only whether it is notable for inclusion as a separate article. I say yes to the former but no to the latter. LordVetinari (talk) 00:19, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Conditional Keep Out of all the lousy articles this person has been creating for the smallest most mundane things in life, this one seems to be the only one that might be somewhat useful. However, I definitely think it will need some cleanup. I would encourage you to look up the creator's other contribs before making a decision. Every article they have created has either been turned into a redirect or is up for deletion. Illinois2011 (talk) 03:42, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Unconditional Keep If it needs cleanup, it needs cleanup. If the creator of the article made some duds, xe made some duds. Neither of those would be a reason. Think about it this way: If Willy On Wheels create the article on "The United States" with some useful information and really messed-up formatting, would you delete it? (We're assuming it hadn't already been created). Of course you wouldn't! If the topic is notable, it stays. Period. The question of whether it is notable is more borderline, but should in no way be affected by either of the factors described in the opinion above me. ☻☻☻Sithman VIII !!☻☻☻ 06:24, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Curtain. There doesn't seem to be much potential for expansion, and the information about parts of curtains can stay together instead of split between the main article and stubs such as this. The "improvisations" paragraph just seems to be random references, they don't seem to be notable or appropriate uses of curtain rings. Curtain rod should also be merged. Peter E. James (talk) 09:36, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Fails WP:NFF, which states "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks — there is no "sure thing" production." It continues "Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available." I cannot see, at this stage, given that all the information was copied verbatim from Superman in film#2012 reboot and sits happily on that page, any reason why this article would justify an exception to this guideline. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:14, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep there is enough significant coverage by reliable resources of this topic to support WP:GNG. The article can be maintained in away as not to intrude on the merit of WP:NFF. These are outlined at WP:FILMPROJECT. The Avengers (film project) and The Hobbit (2012 film) are both examples of former film projects that were successfully maintained in this way and have since transitioned to standard film articles.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of comments to add here (some of which I have repeated elsewhere).

1) WP:FILMPROJECT is not a guideline, but a single point of view.

2) What's the point of the specific notabilty guidelines such as WP:NFF, if they can be superseded by the general notability guidelines? The guideline at WP:NFF deals specifically with articles like this, and the creation of these pages is in direct contravention of this. Unless there is an exceptional amount of well-sourced material that cannot be housed on subject articles, where common sense dictates that it needs a breakout article, then WP:NFF should be followed. This clearly doesn't apply here as the exact same material was used.

3) The Avengers (film project) and The Hobbit (2012 film) were exceptions due to the sheer volume of information that couldn't be housed on the subject page. There is nothing exceptional here that cannot be (and indeed is not already) housed on Superman in film. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:39, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Avengers (film project) had a very similar amount of coverage when it started so this too is also an exception. The topic alone has received enough coverage that no matter if the film is never produced that the development alone is notable. Also WP:NFF is not LAW that demands to be obeyed by its letter, it is more important to be intune with its spirit which we have shown can be done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that the "spirit" of WP:NFF is to avoid opening the floodgates for speculative articles on future films that may or may not be made. Unfortunately the recent introduction of this "film project" concept has done just that. Editors seem to think that if they bung "(film project)" on the end of a future film, it is no longer subject to the guidelines lay down in WP:NFF. I would also suggest that if, at this stage, the film was cancelled, it would still be best placed on the Superman in film article along with all the other cancelled Superman film projects. Not sure if this is the "acid test", but it still seems the appropriate place right now. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Significant coverage" as stated by WP:GNG is the standard for all of Wikipedia. Articles that do not meet this criteria should not be kept, so I do not worry about these "floodgates". This one particular article does however have enough significant coverage.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The project is currently in production, as is other film projects The Avengers, The Hobbit. Claiming that they are exceptions is a dull way of making your argument. This provides enough coverage to maintain a stand alone article. as for WP:NFF, this is a notable film with monterous publicity. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 10:47 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Again to clarify the film is not in production, it is in pre-production. However the stage of development has no bearing here because the coverage already satisfies WP:GNG.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. WP:NFF is really quite clear on this point, and I don't see the need to split this off from Superman in film - the material hardly overwhelms that article. If consensus here is to keep, there needs to be a discussion on the status of NFF, because the section quoted by the nominator seems designed to discourage exactly this type of article. BryanG (talk) 18:19, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's quite apparent that WP:NFF is more restrictive than GNG. The question is whether or not it should be so restrictive that it disallows articles that would otherwise be kept per RS/WPN/WPV/GNG. The WP Aviation Accident Task Force faced a similar issue in that its article nobility guidelines at WP:AIRCRASH were seen as too lenient. In the end, WPAIRCRASH was rewritten to expound GNG and WPEVENT. I think that needs to be the case with WPNFF also. - BilCat (talk) 18:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The Superman film series has had a long history of not being able to get films off the ground, even when they had a cast (just look at Superman in film to see for yourself). At this time, I would revert to pointing to WP:NFF and there is nothing about this "project" that screams it needs its own page as of right now.

• Merge with Superman in film. If the film for some reason gets cancelled the project will only be an anecdote and surely merged with the mother article. Which means it shouldn't have an article of its own now either, even though it's still alive. Smetanahue (talk) 19:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. If in the event the film is canceled there would still be enough RS coverage to warrant its own article. The article at that point would just be another article about a canceled film (which we do have).--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is basically just a series of mentions of everybody who at some point has been involved in the project. If it gets cancelled I even doubt that all of it will be considered as one single project, but rather a number of failed attempts to make a Superman movie within a certain time period. For a cancelled film to be notable, I think it needs to have made a significant impact despite never being released, which I'd say is true for failed Superman movies at large, but not for this incarnation in particular. It's just anecdotes and potential background info for a film that eventually gets made. Smetanahue (talk) 19:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Redirect/Merge(preferrably) I am getting less of a fan of film projects because of these AFD's . And let's face it they are a sign of desperation of one film to be a article when they are still just fine and comfortable to be a redirection to the film series article. If I was still a fan of these film projects I would have done a long time ago with what Rusted Auto Parts did. But knowing something like this (the AFD I am referring to) would happen made me snub the idea of doing so. I am sure filming is close by and I think we need to learn to be patient with that just a little bit because it's getting old. There's a reason why WP:NFF was created and if we keep on doing so we might just as well change that rule. And also I am aware of WP:Film project too because I started it but keep in mind of WP:Worm as well. Even though this film seems to qualify on being acceptable on the certain essay. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I need to be clear though. An AFD is not really why I am not a big fan of it. It's more of what I said after that they are a sign of desperation.I mainly feel like a consensus needs to be done before creating these kind of articles. Because these editors that constantly AFD these kind of articles do make good points even though they normally are the minority. So we may need to hear there opinions first so we don't have these AFD's. Even though they aren't really bad they don't need be used on every single film project article that comes by. And I also suggest patience. WP:NFF shouldn't be snuffed very much. WP:GNG is not primarily referring about films. While WP:NFF does and there's a reason why it exists. Just being neutral about this just like what Wikipedia should be. :) Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 20:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete in favor of the section at Superman in film. Normally I'd say "merge" but what is in the larger article already covers what is here. - J Greb (talk) 23:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The duplicate content in the Superman in film article can easily be replaced with a shorter summary of Superman (film project), so that's not really a reason to delete it. I haven't written a shorter summaary yet as I was promoting taking this article to AFD, and wanted to await the outcome of the AFD first. If this article is kept, then I or another user can write the short summary with a ((main)) link in the section. - BilCat (talk) 23:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This is absurd. Why delete all this information because "It doesn't meet WP:NFF. It meets several other qualities, (WP:GNG, WP:FILMPROJECT). Like what editor TriiipleThreat stated, even if the project gets cancelled (highly unlikely now) it still has enough references to maintain a stand alone page. And since this isn't a fully blown film page, it's only wise to make exception for this as we did with The Avengers and The Hobbit. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 23:17 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of articles does not equate to deletion of information. All of this information is already on the Superman in film page, so there is no loss there. The "Superman (film project)" page just does not need to exist. The history of Superman in film shows that these films have a hard time getting made. It took almost 2 decades for them to get Superman Returns made, and that "project" was about 5 different films at any given moment. Films that had scripts, casts, directors, etc and still did not get made. Given the history of the character, there is no reason to say that this someone meets the "exception" rule that recent projects like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, or The Hobbit were granted. That, and the fact that there really is not that much information. There is a lot of initial castings, and some basic discussions of trying to get the film off the ground, that's it. Everything else is rumor. Not really screaming, "I need a page to myself". The only reason I'm not saying "redirect" is because "Superman (film project)" is not a viable search option for the average reader. BTW, people keep saying "it meets the GNG", but if you read the GNG carefully, it also says: "Wikipedia is not a news source: it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage. For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage." - Right now, we're not actually getting substantial information. In addition, just because a topic may meet the GNG, does not mean that it automatically requires an article to itself. It's also about the amount of information being presented.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me)

To expand on your points, everyone keeps waving WP:GNG about, but it also states: "Presumed means that significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article. For example, such an article may violate what Wikipedia is not." I would suspect that when WP:NFF was written, editors looked at this carefully, and discussed that films which had not entered production were not suitable for a stand-alone article.

WP:CRYSTAL states that "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." As WP:NFF points out, "The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production." WP:CRYSTAL also goes on to give an example of tropical storms: ""Tropical Storm Alberto (2012)" is not [encyclopedic], even though it is virtually certain that a storm of that name will occur in the North Atlantic and will turn counterclockwise." I think the same logic can be applied to future films. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:37, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "since this isn't a fully blown film page, it's only wise to make exception"? It is an article about a film that has yet to enter production. Therefore a film page, and should be under the same scrutiny as anything else. I don't quite see your logic that we should be more lenient because it hasn't entered production. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and with respect to the editor(s) involved, WP:FILMPROJECT is not a guideline, merely the view of a handful of editors. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are forgetting what film project articles really are. They are NOT articles about future films or even future events. They are article about the development of a planned film. They do not deal with future occurrences but deal with things that have already come to pass. These articles are carefully worded to to reflect this. As a result WP:CRYSTAL and to a lesser extent WP:NFF are not applicable.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:29, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like carefully trying to circumvent the guidelines in place in order to create an article. Let's face it this IS an article about a future film and it IS an article about a future event. And, in fact, if it is about "the development of a future film" rather than these two, then this particular article should definitely be deleted, as, unlike previous "film projects" like The Hobbit (for which I can understand the necessity of a stand-alone page, due to the sheer depth of coverage) there has been no development to speak of. --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:40, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is exactly as I stated but you are partially correct. Film projects articles were conceived with WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NFF at heart so that they would not intrude on either of them. To understand this you should go back read the AfD were they originated, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Avengers (2012 film). Furthermore this original film project could also have been housed at Avengers (comics) in other media but that article like this one fulfilled all the requirements set by WP:GNG.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also according to the article, development of this particular project has been underway for over two years. There is an abundance of reliable sources on the subject. If the article fails to express this concern then there is no reason to think that it cannot be fixed by normal editing.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:01, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"In development" can mean anything though (or nothing). I'm more and more convinced that WP:NFF took into account WP:GNG and WP:CRYSTAL when the guideline was written. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. —Rob Sinden (talk) 08:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a film project page. They have been appearing lately after the article were sourced enough to have a stand alone article. Piece the puzzle from here. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 9:52 29 March 2011 (UTC)

These so-called "film project" pages are a new phenomenon. This is probably only the fifth or sixth of its kind, and so far they seem to have only been left to exist after close scrutiny in exceptional cases. My opinion (and I am not alone) is that this particular article does not pass this close scrutiny against the guidelines, and should not exist outside of (in this case) the Superman in film page. There are other editors who disagree with this. This is fine. This is the spirit of Wikipedia. I think we have brought this to AfD as a "test case" to see whether more clarity is needed in the guidelines and to reach a consensus as this issue comes up everytime one of these "film project" pages appears. Please do not be so discourteous as your reply above and suggest I "piece the puzzle from here". You have yet to produce a convincing argument for your view, which, you changed to and from "redirect" after requesting that this was not brought to AfD as you didn't want to risk deletion of the article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry Threat, but to me titling an article "film project" instead of "film" is nothing more than a disguise of what it actually is...which is an article about a future film. Call it what you want, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....it's a duck. The reality is, there is no guarantee that this "project" will be anything other than that at this moment. Nothing in the history suggests that (actually, the history suggests quite the opposite). Based on WP:SIZE, there isn't this grand amount of content that cannot possibly be housed at Superman in film - already sits nicely there. That could even be trimmed because, a part from the ruling about making a film as soon as possible...which itself isn't a guarantee since they had 2 years to get this film made and the time is running out, the stuff about the two families retaining the comic book rights and the S-shield has nothing to do with this film unless explicitely stated. So that can be removed. In addition, the stuff about Superman (1978) inspiring Christopher Nolan isn't directly related to this film either. It's anecdotal, nothing more. As is the Ben Affleck stuff. It was "rumored" that he was considered for directing, not confirmed. Anyone can start a rumor. That shouldn't even be in the article. So, there really isn't anything here but some press releases on casting and potential start dates. We know nothing about the story, nothing of real substance. This does not need a "film project" tag at this time.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 13:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you seem to be singling me out, but my point of view on this is clear and has remained consistent. You can hardly say that I "keep changing" my argument (which you have also called "dull"). I would however, bring your attention to this edit. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fact is the amount of notable and verifiable reliable sources on this project is extensive and I am positive that the article as is does not incorporate all of them. Whatever problems the article has can be fixed by normal editing and does not meet any of Wikipedia's reasons for deletion. In fact the film not need be produced, if production was halted or canceled it would only create even bigger onslaught of media coverage. --TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Circular I know, but how about "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)" as a reason for deletion? Isn't WP:NFF a "relevant notability guideline"? --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Threat, you cannot make assumptions like. I could easily state the alternative, that if the project was cancelled tomorrow no one would care after tomorrow and there would not be any "media onslaught". There's hardly been a "media onslaught" since the film was announced, even since Henry Cavill was announced as Superman. The GNG says "significant coverage" and then clarifies "not simply news reports". Where is the significant coverage of this film? There isn't any. What we have are announcements for people involved and then random backstories about these people that are not a direct relation to the film itself. So, how does that meet the significant coverage aspect of the GNG? It doesn't. Having "multiple" sources does not equate to significant coverage. The GNG says that as well.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nole, you are misrepresenting WP:GNG, which makes no mention of news reports. I assume you are referring to WP:EVENT which is not applicable here since we are not dealing with an event. As far as significant coverage is concerned they are easily available over the internet and in-print magazines and newspapers, they do exist. Again whatever faults the article currently has can fixed and the article expanded by normal editing, see WP:ATD.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:39, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The basic notability guideline covers events (scroll down), and a film is considered an "event", just as much as a sports game is considered an "event". You have not shown significant coverage. Even doing a Google search does not show significant coverage. Again, you cannot misconstrue "significant coverage" with "multiple sources", especially when I just did a quick check of two random sources and upon reading found that they were either from unreliable sources, or completely misrepresented from the original source.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also includes a link: "For notability guidelines for specific kinds of articles, see Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines". As this is a "specific kind of article", I really don't think WP:NF can be dismissed in favour of WP:GNG as casually as some editors seem to want to do. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (and/or even Incubate for a VERY brief time and continue work. Yes, I read that it is userfied... but the incubator is locatable and editable by many contributors, and a userspace does not have the same visibility to invite cooperative improvements.) Article title definitely needs to be changed to reflect that the Superman (film project) has its title confirmed as Superman: Man Of Steel. Further, the article should also be expanded and sourced to show that in order to "intentionally disguise the project during the process of filming", production used the fake "working title" of Autumn Frost ( [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and many, many more,[23] from the early rumors and guesses of 2000 until the growing coverage and confirmations of 2011.) The nominator wrote earlier that he suggests the "spirit" of WP:NFF was to avoid "opening the floodgates" on speculative articles on future films. This is a valid concern... but if an editor were to simply "bung" the words "film project" onto an article, that article will better darn sure have to fly over the bar of the GNG, or suffer the fate of being axed just as might any article that failed to show notability. And I do agree that produced or not, this topic does indeed deserve being metioned in the rather large Superman in film article... but there is simply two much decently sourced content to foist this one into the SiF article without drastic elimination of content to our reader's deficit Several things need be considered: 1. The instruction of guideline is that a topic must be considered "worthy of notice" through having "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", 2. The persistance of coverage over many years meets that criteria. 3. The instruction of policy is that it is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced. 4. The instruction at WP:NFF states "should not", as a caution... not "must not" as if an ironclad rule. 5. All guidelines are headed with the caveat "best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply, and 6. The topic does not fail policy. My opinion and conclusions, after reading the current article and reviewing its current sources, and after reviewing the many more available that have not (yet) been used to further expand this article in Wikipedia's goal to increase a reader's understanding of the topic, are that A. No "floodgate" has been opened, B. what has been upheld here is that WP:NFF holds independent articles whose topic is an unmade film to a far higher standard than does the governing WP:NF and WP:N, C. this topic meets those far higher standards, and D. this one has been amply qualified to be one of those VERY rare exceptions. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's the two reason's why I am not fully ok with this. One labeling it as film project is quite cheesy and never really qualifies as the best of a common name. Nobody will search for a title like that and it will make a useless redirection title as well when it's not a film project anymore. I am not sure a common reader will look so highly on that kind of title. Second it looks just as nice as a section and no rules are being broken whatsoever so we don't need to keep debating guidelines whatsoever. I am ok with The Dark Knight Rises because at least we got the same name but to do this on some film that doesn't even have a official title name yet makes me say can't we be patient. Yes it has sources to qualify as a article but that doesn't mean it needs to be split just yet if it's just as nice looking as a section. But the article will be nice though with good editors watching it I have no doubt about that. We just need boundaries on this though. When splitting it is sometimes suggestive to do a consensus on it per WP:Split and AFD's would have been less likely. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 00:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addressing the title "Superman (film project)" was a measure that at best merited discussion on the article's talk page, but not an AFD on what is on an article on a notable topic. But it's here now, and even in the last few hours more sources have come forward confirming the film's title as "Superman: Man Of Steel. I have just modified the lede accordingly based upon newer sources.[24] The article is STILL not calling it a film... and stresses in the lede that the topic is a pre-production project (without actually using that word). Still incubatable, but for a very short time as even more comes forward worth sharing with our readers. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:26, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Further thoughts. I can see that we could be getting to the stage where it could be argued that common sense dictates that this would be an exception to the WP:NFF. But in circumstances like this consensus for the split should have been sought beforehand on the talk page at Superman in film. Which, actually, is what I tried to do in the first place before it was suggested to bring it to AfD. As we seem to be arguing a point of technicality, I don't think this AfD will reach a clear consensus. One thing I would like to say, is that if it is deemed that there is a case for a breakout article, why are we treating these articles as anything other than a "film" page - I think these "film project" style articles are misleading. If consensus is that in spite of WP:NFF this article should exist, then it is still an article on a film, albeit not as far advanced in the production process as others. It might be a good idea to update WP:NFF with guidelines for these situations, making reference to the fact that clear consensus should be sought first. I tried to do this by reverting this page to a redirect, and requesting discussion, but my actions were overruled. Any thoughts? --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  The use of "(film project)" in some article titles was created after some debate as a means to differentiate a title from a an article by the same name. Like The Hobbit (film project) was a response to disambig from The Hobbit. If a name is unknown, it would be pretty much too soon for an actual article expect under extraordinary circumstances. In this case, Superman (film project) was indeed clumsy, even though a good faith effort to disambig from Superman, which is why a name change to Superman: Man Of Steel would be proper now that we have verification, and why I modified the article lede to indicate this.[25] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This article clearly has enough reliable sources to meet any WP:V, WPN, or GNG concerns. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 12:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per NFF. The ravenous appetites of the Hollywood bullshit machine makes sure that any time two people meet in an expensive restaurant to talk about making Little Bunny Foo-Foo: The Fieldmice Strike Back, there will be a gazillion articles about it in gossip magazines and the trades. NFF is there for a reason: to make sure that until the movie actually starts shooting, Wikipedia will not be cluttered with these rumor thingies. The FILMPROJECT folks seem to be trying to subvert this sound attitude on the grounds that possible movies which fanboys are drooling over should have articles even if they never happen. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:26, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quite harsh, but i respect your opinion. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 11:43 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Harsh indeed (chuckle), but we must admire the least respect the intensity with which it is offered. While we are not discussing the wishes of "drooling fanboys", we are discussing how NFF was meant to properly prevent a flood of speculative articles on topics that did not yet have notability, and discussing a reasonable (and rare) exception to NFF for a demonstrably notable topic. While ANY article could be trimmed to three or four sentences and then stuffed somwhere else, such practice does not serve to increase a reader's understanding of the topic. Stated elsewhere but worth bringing here are several givens (that for clarity I would love to see incorporated into WP:NFF in order to address this issue):

1. Guideline indicates any topic may be determined as being "worthy of notice" by it meeting general notability through it having "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
2. Policy allows that it "is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced."
3. Very, VERY rare exceptions to guideline WP:NFF are allowable IF the coverage of the future film is enduring and persistant in multiple reliable sources and over an extended period (thus dealing with "Fanboys" and conflict with WP:NOTNEWS), AND if there is too much verifiable information in an article whose topic is "discussion about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur", to be reasonably placed anywhere else.

That said, and as we look at these on a case-by-case basis, had this simply been an unexpanded stub, a proper merge and redirect would have served. Had it only been "fanboy" gossip, an outright deletion would have been in order. But neither case bears. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will note for the record that I am the father of an otaku, the husband of a woman who has attended MediaWest for over 30 years now, and a person who has even committed fan fiction myself; so I can make fanboy jokes, like redneck jokes, because I'm talking about me and mine. That said: film project articles about films that may or may not be made, are to me prime examples of the severe recentist bias which the entire Wikipedia project displays. That which is recent and American or British, no matter how ephemeral, gets an article, because you can find stories about it in gossip magazines and the like; meanwhile, entire national legislatures are neglected because you can't find something about them in a five-second Google search for English-language sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noted: You are qualified to colorfully joke about "fanboys". And while myself aware of a "recentism" tendency (usully addressed soundly by WP:NOTNEWS), I made the comment I did to address that notability is to be considered through significant coverage in reliable sources over a many-years period, and not through last week's blurb on a fan page or gossip mag. If such were the only sources available, I would quite agree that we'd have failure of the GNG and no need to consider an exception to NFF. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The project has plenty of reliable sources to indicate its notability per WP:N, even if the film never gets made. Rlendog (talk) 13:34, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I update you that the once was userspace draft is now a article incubator (even though the favor seems to be a keep anyways) The incubator is done in film style so I suppose it can be used when it's a film. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 15:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the incubator, that fomat is fine... simply unsuitable in mainspace until the film IS a film. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:25, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per WP:NFF. GNG does not address the fact that the film has not commenced principal photography and should not have its own article until such time. The information currently belongs where it is in Superman in film. --JMax (Okay, tell me. What'd I do this time?) 00:52, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  NFF, a subsection of WP:Notability (films), is not policy and, as a subsection of a notability guideline, is still not some ironclad and immutable rule... which is why ALL guidelines allow consideration of common sense occasional exceptions if they improve the project and further a reader's understanding of a topic. It is policy that addresses discussion of future events, and the general notability guideine addresses how we determine a topic as notable. Per WP:SPLIT, if there is so much sourced information that a proposed target would be overburdened, a separate related article is allowed. And a note: WP:SPLIT does not mean that suitable articles be trimmed to a few sentences simply to make them mergable elsewhere. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These were all reviewed in many publications and they all charted in several countries. In the UK these reached numbers 58, 18, and 72 respectively. In the US they reached 22, 27, and 174.

Comment Can we please have the references to back up the claim that these charted in the US at 22, 27, and 174 respectively? I note that the articles themselves don't claim that any of these albums charted. Also, making the claim that they were "reviewed in many publications" is not helpful if you don't produce the reviews. BTW, the link above[27] goes to a site that does not actually have any information about Jeff Healey's albums. LK (talk) 09:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. Click the link. Click where it says 'View Albums'. View the chart placings. That's the official reliable source that proves the albums charted in the UK.

Actually I don't get any chart positions at that URL. There are plenty of chart aggregators around, Billboard, Allmusic, but here's some links: UK Chart positions, US Chart positions. I pointed you towards Google News for reviews - it would be a waste of my time to stick a load of links in here. Do you seriously think an album that was a hit in both the US and the UK didn't get reviewed?--Michig (talk) 10:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moto Roma[edit]

Moto Roma (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). There are zero independent sources that have significant coverage of Moto Roma, or Moto-roma. Trivial and incidental coverage, while insufficient for WP:GNG, is also almost nonexistent. A UK importer briefly mentions that Moto-roma is a brand Zongshen motorcycles are sold under, but there is no independent evidence that this is true. Moto Roma is also the name of an Italian motorcycle dealership, but they sell various Japanese and European brands, not Zongshen. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moto Roma Virage. Dbratland (talk) 04:11, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• It is odd that what appears to be a brand of motorcycles has generated so little coverage--I can't deny that it has generated little coverage. I created the stub in the first place, of course, but there is little to defend here. I am tempted to place the "rescue" tag on the article, not to derail the deletion process, but to invite other editors, other searchers, perhaps in other languages, to find some sources (and if those sources are not reliable and not enough, then I won't vote to keep the article), but I will only do so if Dbratland agrees--I have already rubbed them the wrong way a bit too much, I fear. What do you say, Dbratland? One final shot for Moto Roma? Drmies (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From Googling, I discovered a link to a UK company called "E.P. Barrus" - so, I gave them a call. They tell me that "Moto Roma" is not actually a company, but is a brand-name which they use for imported components from China, Taiwan, and possibly other places. So that might explain the difficulty in finding info on the company! Their website is http://www.barrus.co.uk/ - we don't seem to have an article about them. So, as far as this subject goes, I guess this is a delete !vote (for a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources - but I've edited the article a little, so it at least makes more sense, in case anyone can ever rescue it - now, or in the future.  Chzz  ►  15:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Chzz. If anything was going to happen, we'd have an article on Barrus (not Moto Rama), but.. that isn't in the scope of this discussion, and it probably fails RS too. tedder (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think, actually, that is the answer. Whether it is a fresh article, or this one moved - if we wrote an article on Barras, then this could redirect to it. GNews [28] indicates there would be enough for that.  Chzz  ►  15:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't disagree. Thank you for looking into it. The Barrus connection was uncovered by Dbratland earlier, but that phone call is very helpful. I think that we've reached the end of the tether, tedder, and if this were to be closed by way of SNOW I wouldn't object. Drmies (talk) 17:33, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
