Neutral. The article as it currently exists does not belong on Wikipedia. However, an article about the town itself would. I think this needs to be stubified and re-written by someone who can find some good sources. The subject of the town and its relationship with witchcraft would probably merit a small mention but not be the predominant focus of the article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

No independent reliable sources included to establish notability per GNG, and I'm unable to turn up any via searching. The one source provided is a link to the author's own book, which, despite the article's claim as his "most well known work", appears to have received little coverage itself. — Jess· Δ ♥ 22:54, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Provisional~~ keep. While there is only one source cited, there are six sources in the bibliography, all of which appear to mention the subject in their titles. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:00, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to "Keep" based on further looking at the sources and on Han Adler's comment below. Six apparently reliable sources about the subject are sufficient to ward off deletion. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:38, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per reliable sources in bibliography. Strongly recommend that inline cites be added ASAP before someone starts deleting content.– Lionel ^(talk) 00:52, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't read any of the sources in the bibliography, and there are no online versions - all I can see is that they may use the subject's name. I assume based on your assessment that you are familiar with these works. Can you read German? Can you verify whether the books make notable mention of the subject, and if they do, what mention it is? Thanks. — Jess· Δ ♥ 01:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are neither required to be online nor to be in English. Jclemens (talk) 01:49, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, quite obviously, but they are required to actually be proper sources, which is why I asked if any editor could verify that they do, indeed, establish notability for the subject. I'm willing to withdraw the nomination if they do. However, as it stands, none of the content in the entire article is sourced to anything, and we have a handful of books listed in the bibliography that no one has yet said they could read or vouch for. AFAIK, they could be a passing mention, or self published, or about a separate topic altogether. Assuming notability just because we have a couple effectively illegible books cited without even being used as refs seems a bit too eager for me to jump on board. — Jess· Δ ♥ 16:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. There are obviously multiple works about the subject. The nomination seems to be based on a misinterpretation of WP:NOENG. St Anselm (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The German version of the article has extensive references. Apart from the man's large bibliography itself (which of course doesn't help to establish notability), it has six reliable sources about him. They are all in pietist publications or from pietist publishers, but pietism isn't sufficiently fringe in Germany to warrant discounting them on that account. He also made it into a (fairly indiscriminate, apparently) printed reference work, the Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon. Altogether I would say this is somewhere between an obvious keep and a borderline case. Hans Adler 09:20, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hans. I tend to agree with your assessment, but I'm still a little on the edge since no one has directly vouched for these books. Are you able to read German, and confirm that these works are (as you say) reliable and about him? Thanks. — Jess· Δ ♥ 16:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They appear to be all publishers of Christian books. You can look up their web sites online. I see no evidence that any of them are vanity-presses for self-published authors (for the source published in 1973, it's unlikely to be self-published). At least one of the publishers seems reputable/notable: Hansisches Druck und Verlagshaus.

Also, note that lacking inline references is not a valid deletion rationale. The fact that the references exist, regardless of whether they exist in the article, is a valid reason to keep it, however. In this case we have a bibliography that lists books explicitly devoted to the subject of the article, not merely books that mention him. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:38, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Q "are you able to read German" to someone who has at user page German indicated as mother tongue comes a bit odd.--Stephfo (talk) 12:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure that I can smell self-published sources and similar problems pretty accurately. In this case, I am vaguely familiar with the religious movement from which this comes (it's very strong in my region of origin), and it all looks incredibly plausible. Besides, this guy didn't even have much of a chance not to become technically notable given his life. He was president of the German YMCA from 1936 till 1950, i.e. over most of the Nazi era as well as in 5 post-war years. As a surviving prominent member of the (basically anti-nazi) Confessing Church (Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemöller were better-known members), he must have been a welcome role model for German Protestants after the war. And he was involved in several parties after the war as well. Another indication that everything is fine is that the German Wikipedia has a link to a site that has more than 600 of his sermons online as audio files, mostly recorded in the 1960s. This guy must have been incredibly popular in his circles, which as I said cannot be considered fringe. Hans Adler 13:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eh... not a direct answer to my question, which is my only remaining hangup. Still, I accept that I don't have any knowledge of the topic, and those who do seem to think the subject is notable, so I'm willing to defer to their judgement. It's concerning to me, however, that we're presuming notability despite no one having read anything being cited... It would also be nice to have something (anything) sourced in the article, but that itself is not a rationale for deletion. I'll withdraw my nomination. Moving forward, if someone able to read German could skim the bibliography and add a few of the (presumably reliable and relevant) books as cites (even just for his name and birthdate), that would be helpful. Thanks. — Jess· Δ ♥ 17:32, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what more direct answer you want. I think it's perfectly obvious that I am a native speaker of German. As to your other concern about the sources, I am definitely not going to check them out from a library to satisfy you. I am not interested in pietists, and I am currently living in Vienna, where I would be very unlikely to get them anyway since the extremely thorough Austrian counter-reformation made sure that there are practically no Protestants here nowadays.

It's hard to find information about that guy online because he wasn't that notable after all, because all mainstream media references must have been long before digital media were invented (and Germany is extremely slow with digitisation of newspapers), and also because he has the same name as an incredibly popular author.

Besides, a Speedy A7 (no claim of notability) on an article whose infobox said "Known for resistance against totalitarian Nazi regime, Evangelizations for youth, literary works" was a mistake anyway, and we don't set a higher standard for an article just because an erroneous speedy was declined. Hans Adler 18:28, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean any offense, Hans. I was hoping you'd be able to confirm that the book titles at least indicated they were about him. Part of my concern is that the books aren't accessible to any editor here, so no one is able to confirm their contents. Quite obviously, I understand that's not your fault, or any such nonsense, I'm just concerned we're presuming notability despite not having any accessible sources. That was a general comment, not specifically directed at you. I'm not sure where you got the impression that I felt a higher standard should be set due to a declined CSD - obviously that would be absurd. As I said above, I'm okay with deferring to your judgement, since you know more about the topic than I do, which I intend to mean that I now believe the article should be kept. That doesn't mean I don't still have reservations, but again, those reservations aren't your problem, any more than any other editor here. — Jess· Δ ♥ 18:43, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the mind reading, which apparently went wrong. Now that you have clarified what you actually wanted to know: Yes, it's perfectly obvious from the book titles that they are about him. Hans Adler 19:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. Thanks :) — Jess· Δ ♥ 20:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jess, I wonder if you read the article at all, to state "Moving forward, if someone able to read German could skim the bibliography and add a few of the (presumably reliable and relevant) books as cites (even just for his name and birthdate), that would be helpful." after clicking on just the 2nd reference as well as harping on your other points related to online accessibility of data should not IMHO be possible, even if you have no notion about German language.

Hans, I've found the information on "He was president of the German YMCA from 1936 till 1950, i.e. over most of the Nazi era as well as in 5 post-war years." for interesting to be added into the article, is there any source available for it? Thanx.--Stephfo (talk) 03:39, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've managed to find myself: BEKANNTE MITGLIEDER DER CVJM/YMCA BEWEGUNG INTERNATIONAL. Thanx.--Stephfo (talk) 03:49, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stephfo, there's not much reason to keep posting here instead of the talk page. However, keep in mind the article was very substantially different when this AfD was proposed, and indeed when I made that comment. At that time, the second reference to which you refer didn't exist. — Jess· Δ ♥ 03:57, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for posting here again, but it seems necessary because I made an important mistake above. He was never president of the CVJM (German YMCA). I misunderstood a complicated sentence in my hasty reading of the German Wikipedia article. Putting this here in case it makes you change your mind and to ensure that this misinformation doesn't make it into our article later on when an editor reads this page. Hans Adler 08:59, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article creator has been notified of this discussion and can comment here the same as any other editor. He can also fix up and expand the article over the next week, which will affect the discussion outcome, if that happens. Also it is worth mentioning that it won't be "arbitrarily deleted", it will only be deleted because of a week-long consultation involving everyone who is interested in the article on Wikipedia and then only with community consensus. It is hardly an "arbitrary" process. - Ahunt (talk) 17:58, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As for "Wikipedia community has decided that Occupy "movement" is not notable enough for front page inclusion", this isn't the front page, it's a stub, and must be handled differently. Spence Powell never made the front page, but I don't see people trying to delete his page. --76.18.43.253 (talk) 03:54, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and leave a redirect behind to Occupy Canada. There's nothing in this article worth keeping, and it's adequately described in the Occupy Canada article already. Every individual city's occupy movement isn't automatically notable- this one happens to not be notable, even while others are.--Slon02 (talk) 00:27, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - We may or may not like the Occupy movement. I'm a critic myself. That's neither here nor there. We may wish that the myriad of small articles were merged into fewer big articles. That's probably in the cards somewhere down the road, but it's early days yet. There will be books and scholarly articles written and that will influence the way that we look at this social phenomenon. That's also neither here nor there. The question is whether this is an event with multiple instances of significant, independently published coverage. Footnotes are showing in the piece which indicate that this is a topic which does indeed pass the General Notability Guideline. Carrite (talk) 02:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article is currently incomplete. I've added more references to the article. Events continue to occur, more press coverage in reliable sources is written and published, GNG is further surpassed. Northamerica1000^(talk) 12:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete /merge/ redirect to Occupy Canada. Has not the wp:notability, scale or material for stand-alone. North8000 (talk) 22:37, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Topic notability is based upon the availability of reliable sources. Adding the references currently in the article here, as many of delete !votes seem to be based upon opinion of the protest and the stub size of the article, (which is incomplete at this time), rather than topic notability itself per notability guidelines. Notice how per these references, the article can be easily expanded.

Teardrop trailer[edit]

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

There has been an edit war going on for some time whether to merge the contents of this article into Travel trailer (essentially deleting this article). Some editors there are of the opinion that the two articles describe the same concept and Travel trailer already covers this article, whereas some believe the concepts are distinct. I'm opening the AfD procedurally to hopefully bring this quagmire to an end. KnightInShinyArmor (talk) 23:28, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect The two articles, and the sources cited within them, seem to treat the term as interchangeable. KnightInShinyArmor (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete - keep or merge The terms are not interchangeable: "teardrop trailer" is a particular variety of travel trailer. Teardrop trailers are probably notable enough for an article of their own, but it'd be just as good to merge the minimal material in the larger article, which already has sections on other styles of travel trailers. FWIW, if the proposer had wanted to do a merge rather than a deletion then this is the wrong venue - merges can be proposed and discussed on the article talk pages. Will Beback talk 02:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Let's get the terminology structure right before proceeding[edit]

Top of the heap (whether we non-Americans like it or not) is Recreational vehicle. Its sub-article, List of recreational vehicles, gives a reasonable breakdown, but the major structural division is between powered and non-powered vehicles, and the main articles for each of these are Motorhome and Travel trailer. Various sub-species of these have their own articles, including Teardrop trailer.
If we follow this structure (allowing for regional variations in terminology) and link the main and subsidiary articles appropriately, there is no logical reason to delete any existing article.
My gut feeling is that the disputes over what is or is not a "true" teardrop trailer will not be resolved by merging the two articles. As it currently reads, it appears that the "conservatives" have "won", or at least that the "progressives" have given up the fight.
Keep and tidy up as suggested above.

Downsize43 (talk) 02:53, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish for your !vote to be considered here, please clarify what you mean—why do you think this article is about politics (conservatives versus progressives)? The problem is, so far you have not provided any sources that make the distinction; as far as I can tell you are only reporting your personal language intuitions. KnightInShinyArmor (talk) 08:41, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The modern teardrop trailer takes many variations on the basic form, most of which display innovative solutions for the best use of a restricted size and shape. Until recently many of these were included in the article, much to the chagrin of those who wanted to remain rooted in the past. They are now gone and the article is the poorer for it. My !vote to Keep, if successful, should lead to various editors (myself included) attempting do the following:

Include a summary of teardrop trailer in travel trailer, mentioning the distinction between the traditional and the modern variants.
Expand teardrop trailer to include all variants, with a clear definition of the traditional style.

Keep - the topic is notable and sufficiently different to a "regular" type of caravan. It has a couple of references, and is short, but reasonably detailed. I would also like to raise attention to the previous attempts to merge - these were not serious attempts, and ultimately classed as vandalism resulting in page protection - each request was a single edit by a unique IP address, which then disappeared off the face of the Earth, without raising any discussion regarding the proposed merge on either the Teardrop page or the targeted Caravan page:

1
2
3

In each case the template was added by an IP address, which I let run for 5 weeks with no comment, so I removed the template - which was subsequently reinstated by a different IP address, but again without commenting, or initiating discussion. a_man_alone (talk) 11:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see there have been many editors who have brought up this issue in the past which goes against your !vote, but I still don't see any reliable sources that oppose the idea of having the two articles merged, and this one effectively deleted. KnightInShinyArmor (talk) 12:41, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen any reliable sources that are for it?

Yes, I'm referring to those edits that you've provided which you've been reverting to prevent merging the two articles for some time now. I also can't see any vandalism in those examples. As for needing to provide sources to prove that Teardrop trailer is a Travel trailer? I can only hope that's a joke. But you really should provide reliable sources that prove the opposite, which would actually make your argument valid. KnightInShinyArmor (talk) 16:37, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also satisfies point 2 of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Rugby_union/Notability being that Ireland is a high performance union.

Is there any way to add more information about the club (history, record etc) to this article. I can't even find a website, the closet I got was this advertisement for a head coach [12]. If it is only ever going to consist of a few short sentences I struggle to see the value of retaining it.

One can only use what they have. I am more than happy to assume good faith if you use books to add information to this article.

Week keep, since it does have multiple coverage in other media outlets (actually somewhat unusual for a paper like this one) and so passes WP:GNG (barely), and it does seem to be a legitmately significant publication in its market. I don't think "local" is a valid objection; we do (and should) have articles for local papers. Although I do favor keeping this article, I have to note that an article about this publication was deleted in April 2010; as I (vaguely) recall, that article was written (at least initially) in a more blatantly promotional style than this one, which did not help its case any. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Outside Bozeman Magazine. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:10, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These sources don't seem to hold up. Current refs 1, 2, and 4 (Montana State University Collegian, Moose Radio, and KXLF-TV) run afoul of WP:CORPDEPTH; they're all local. Current ref 3 (Washington Post)'s relevance to the subject is, sum total, the sentence "Holland was also carrying a copy of Outside Bozeman magazine for a photo at the summit as part of a contest, he said." Current ref 5 (WolframAlpha) is primary. Where are the in-depth, regional or national, non-trivial sources that would let us legitimately keep this article?

Delete. This is pretty much the same article as from a year and a half ago, obviously written as part of the magazine's publicity effort and carefully tailored to squeeze every last droplet of "notability" from the relative stones which are the sources here. And what are those sources? An "alums done good" writeup in a college paper, a blog post on the website of a local radio station advertising the magazine's $250 contest, a half sentence in the Washington Post, and a three-minute "local interest" interview on a Montana TV station's morning show (which, again, is not really about the magazine but about its contest). There's really nothing here that can possibly add up to "significant coverage." If every throwaway interview, day after day, on local TV stations created notability, my grandmother's quilting club would be notable by now. The keep !votes above run the range from blatant sockery to WP:WAX to an irrelevant remark about its circulation -- last time I checked, didn't they give this thing away for free?

I have reverted my edits of redirecting this article into List of All My Children characters per previous AfD (see above). Now I have nominated this article the second time. Many history logs are inaccesible due to copyright violations. Anyway, this fictional character lasted for less than one year without major influence to the show or coverage of notability. I don't know any expert or soap opera dedicator who knows this character very well. Even he was mentioned in a short brief manner in the article that to I have redirected prior to revert. His storylines appear to be nothing more than involving his sister, Annie Lavery; I don't see hints of notability of his own storyline, especially from reliable sources. Even this source is not reliable to my standards. I even searched him in Google News and found none. Well, if the actor, Billy Miller, by whom this fictional character was portrayed is notable, then why not this character? Is this character worth being redirected again to any other article, such as a list? --George Ho (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability is given. All available sources merely confirm the building's existence, which is not the same as notability. JonRidinger (talk) 20:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they also lack any sources that indicate notability; they simply have sources that indicate their existence and have no notable features or other characteristics:

--JonRidinger (talk) 20:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all and close - Too many topics of possibly varying degrees of notability which leads to far too many "keep"-"delete" combinations. Curious that the nom claims sources only state "existence." Just a quick look at Millennium Building, the tallest in Missoula, brings up this in-depth piece. --Oakshade (talk) 04:08, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One or even a few "in-depth" articles in the local news outlet(s) do not establish notability. We can find multiple local reliable sources for any semi-major building in every city in the US, but that doesn't mean they have notability. Being the tallest building in downtown Missoula is also not notable (the tallest in town is a dorm on the University of Montana campus). All of these buildings are relatively new buildings, so there's going to be sources on them, but so far nothing outside Missoula, Montana. Is there local significance? Obviously, but that doesn't translate to notability, particularly with buildings, which are generally notable for architectural features, height, age, history, and/or occupants. My own hometown (a college town similar in many ways to Missoula) has had several buildings covered in multiple "in-depth" pieces (some in multiple local news outlets) recently because of downtown developments, but do they meet notability? Nope. So basically, we have sources that verify these buildings do exist in Missoula and verify some of the details about them. None of them, however, indicate nor establish notability. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:08, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually we have notability guidelines such as WP:GNG, which at least the Millennium Building easily passes, so we don't have personal subjective opinions as to what is notable. Wikipedia is not paper. If thousands of topics in cities around the world pass our standards, then we can have thousands of articles. How do you know nobody outside of Missoula finds buildings it contains encyclopedic? To questions like that we can't answer (personally I can since I do find buildings like this interesting), we have notability guidelines like WP:GNG to help us decide. --Oakshade (talk) 06:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very much aware of the notability guidelines; that's why I nominated all of these. We do have fairly straightforward guidelines and standards for notability. None of the buildings have significant coverage other an article or two when they were built or a press release from the company that built or occupies them. Has anything been written since any of them opened? Has anyone outside of Missoula done articles on these buildings? Remember too, notability is also not temporary. And yes, it's not paper, but Wikipedia is also not an encylcopedia of everything. Simply being a building in Missoula, Montana that had an article or two written about it does not make it notable. The fact that people will find it interesting does not mean it's notable either: "...merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." All sources are local and all sources I have found are related to the building being opened or simply have some statistics available about it, showing that the buildings have no significance outside Missoula and very little significance inside it. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:33, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The most appropriate place to mention these buildings would be in the Missoula article itself, either the history section of the cityscape/architecture section if they're mentioned at all. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you're familiar with WP:GNG, then you know that significant coverage is defined as "sources address the subject directly in detail." You might not think that the 800 word Missoulian piece completely and specifically about the Millennium Building does not "address the subject directly in detail" but that is opposite of reality. That WP:WHIM guideline you linked to is about topics that do not pass our notability guidelines that at least one of these topics do.--Oakshade (talk) 01:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, none of these are even close to meeting Notability requirements. How does one 800-word article in the local newspaper qualify for "significant" coverage? That doesn't even qualify for significant local coverage. The only other source is a building directory, which inclusion in is hardly a guarantee of notability (many listings are transmission towers among many other non-notable buildings). And how does this not fail WP:NTEMP? I can find multiple detailed articles about buildings all over the country in their respective towns' local newspapers. That does not equal notability for every one of them. No one is arguing that there isn't a detailed article on the Millennium Building. Significant for Missoula? Absolutely, but this isn't the Missoula Wikipedia. Please also note: "We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger article or relevant list." None of the articles nominated have sources that can answer the "significant coverage" and "not temporary" aspects of Notability, so there really isn't much more than can be written about any of the buildings. As I said earlier, these buildings can easily be worked into the main Missoula article in existing sections like history. None of them, however, have significance outside of Missoula. Also, footnote 5: "Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources." --JonRidinger (talk) 02:55, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but it could be a 400 word article and still be "significant coverage" as long as the "sources address the subject directly in detail." If you want to re-write WP:GNG to say "significant coverage means that there must be 10,000 words" or whatever, you need to make your case on the WP:GNG talk page, not invent your own definition on specific AfD.--Oakshade (talk) 03:04, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It could be a 10,000 word article and still not be "significant coverage". Significant isn't a measure of words as much as it is variety of sources, especially secondary sources, in this case both inside and outside of Missoula. And yes, I did read the article. It's not just describing the building, it's also describing the people behind it and the company that's moving in along with other things going on in downtown Missoula at the time. That's fairly typical for small city newspapers to do when a large building is built. That doesn't equate to notability in itself even if it would be considered notable within Missoula. Bottom line is there is little or nothing more that can be written about these buildings because there is no significant coverage or notability. I'm in no way "inventing my own definition" anymore than you apparently are as I have quoted quite a bit of relevant policy from the Notability article to justify why I think the way I do and why I nominated these articles in the first place. I've taken similar articles through AfD that have just as little coverage (many that have more), among them was the List of tallest buildings in Missoula, which was redirected for basically the same reason: lack of notability not only for the list topic (tallest buildings in Missoula) but the items on the list. The only buildings with established notability are the ones on the National Register of Historic Places. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:19, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't think the Missoulian article Missoula's new Millenium Building: Designed for the ages is significant coverage, that's fine but it's opposite of reality. Simply repeating "There is not significant coverage" won't change that. And it could be one 400 word article giving significant coverage to a topic to pass WP:GNG. If you want WP:GNG to define "significant coverage" as sources not addressing the subject in detail, then you must make your case at the WP:GNG talk page. You can't pretend "significant coverage" means something else. And since you keep bringing up WP:TEMP, the entire first paragraph of WP:TEMP states "Notability is not temporary: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Your subjective opinion that nobody outside Missoula cares is noted, but that's just your subjective opinion. --Oakshade (talk) 04:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simply repeating that it is significant doesn't change it either. And no, one article in the space of time this building has been planned and built is not significant, even more so because it's a local source. Still not sure how you can read one article and feel that it meets "significant coverage". GNG may not give a number (since it can't; it varies), but I have already used quotes from the footnotes to explain why I feel it fails significant coverage both in who has covered it (only local) and how much (one article). It was covered when it first opened. That's it. It hasn't been covered since then, but to be honest, it wasn't significant the one time it was covered anyway, so the temporary thing isn't even the main issue. Because of that, what is currently in the article is basically all that can be written on the subject. And no, I never said "no one" cares, but just because some do does not equal notability. There's a lot of things I "care" about both in and out of my own hometown (I'm a member of the local historical society) that I know others do as well. That still doesn't equal notability in the greater Wikipedia scale. And there are other places online for the people "who care" to find that information. Wikipedia is not a directory of everything and just because something makes the local newspaper or is listed on a building directory (which I already know has errors) doesn't make it notable, nor does people having a passion for a subject. In the end, it doesn't seem either of us is going to convince each other. The best thing is to get additional opinions instead of repeating our arguments back and forth. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I agree with Oakshade that these shouldn't have been nominated together. That being said, the coverage from The Missoulian is significant in my mind: the important place that these buildings (especially the Garlington) are now occupying in Missoula, one of Montana's first cities, means that they're going to get substantial coverage. We generally permit articles that are dependent on local information for their sources, if the local source is of importance outside the immediate area. Given the importance of Missoula and The Missoulian's circulation, it seems reasonable to see it as being sufficiently important that we shouldn't call it a local-only source; it's definitely not the local newspaper that publications such as the Record-Courier are. Nyttend (talk) 06:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Missoulian is one of the primary newspapers of Montana. As for myself, that's neither here nor there — the question isn't whether a source is local, regional, national, or international, which is more or less a matter of trivia — but whether a topic is the subject of multiple instances of substantial independent published coverage. The story cited in the Missoulian about the Millenium Building goes a large part of the way towards documenting the encyclopedia-worthiness of that topic. Carrite (talk) 15:18, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI for everyone, let's keep The Missoulian in perspective. It's the third largest circulation in the state, but its circulation is around 26,000. The Record-Courier Nyttend mentions (which is actually my local newspaper) has a circulation of around 17,000 in an area that overlaps with the Cleveland Plain Dealer (circulation over 200,000) and Akron Beacon Journal (circulation over 90,000). I have always looked at Missoula compared with other cities of similar size (~66,000, metro 109,000), not in comparison to other cities in a similar ranking (like 2nd largest in a state). --JonRidinger (talk) 15:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no requirement in WP:GNG that the reliable sources must have some gigantic circulation on par with the New York Times or the like. According to WP:RELIABLE, as long as the source is independent of the subject and has editorial control over its content, which obviously the Missoulian does, it is considered a reliable source.--Oakshade (talk) 16:06, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't clear: I'm not saying the circulation number matters for significant coverage on its own, but if you're going to discount a newspaper like the Record-Courier as being "local" (meaning a source from it wouldn't be considered significant coverage) you can't really argue that The Missoulian has a much greater reach when you actually compare circulation rates. Even if this building had been in New York and had an article aboutn its opening in the New York Times I wouldn't consider that "significant coverage" even with the high circulation of Times. If the consensus is that this is sufficient for "significant coverage", I guess I can start writing several articles on local buildings that have been covered here for various reasons. --JonRidinger (talk) 16:29, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My point was not circulation rates, but regional importance: Missoula is a much bigger regional center than Ravenna, and thus its newspaper is likely to be regionally more important. Nothing against Portage County; it's simply that a comparable newspaper in the region would likely be either the Beacon Journal or the Plain Dealer. Nyttend (talk) 19:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like relative prominence rather than notability. Portage County is certainly not as prominent in Northeast Ohio as Missoula is in western Montana, but in terms of notability, Portage County is as notable as, if not more so, than Missoula because it has more people and is in a much larger area population-wise, so it gets coverage from more many media outlets. Simply being relatively prominent doesn't mean everything in the city is as notable as another city that is prominent in its own region. It's not about equality with notability. Heck, Akron, Ohio and Tacoma, Washington aren't exactly the most prominent cities in their respective regions, but they are a lot more notable than Missoula simply because they're much larger cities. But even then, I still don't think there is even enough to support the "significant coverage" requirement at a local level for these buildings and certainly nothing outside the region. By this logic, we could include anything in The Missoulian (or any "regional" paper) that gets a detailed article, like someone's bio, a crime, obituary, etc. It may function as a regional paper, but it is also the only regular local daily, so not everything in it is of regional importance nor is everything of regional importance notable.

Since it seems there is a developing consensus that a source in The Missoulian constitutes "significant" coverage due to the paper being regionally important (regardless of the size of the region), I want to make sure that when I decide to write similar articles, that I'm not wasting my time. I still haven't seen how these articles can actually be expanded much beyond the stubs they are, though, which is also part of having significant coverage (I quoted something from this in an earlier post above). Even if all 4 articles were combined they'd still be a stub or they'd be a small paragraph within the Missoula and/or Downtown Missoula articles. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the Millenium Building, since it has a clear claim to notability as the tallest building in Missoula. No opinion with respect to the other three, other than to say that every town has dozens or scores of buildings and lines do need to be drawn someplace. Carrite (talk) 15:12, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So can every tallest building in a particular city have an article simply because it's tallest? Also, according to the Emporis citation in the Millennium Building article, Jesse Hall and Aber Hall at the University of Montana are both taller (11 stories estimated 157 feet vs 9 stories and 128 feet for Millennium) than the Millennium building. The Millennium is the tallest building in downtown Missoula. I think at the very least these should be included in the Missoula article and/or the Downtown Missoula article, but not stand-alone articles at this point. And that's not just because they're small now it's because the info available at present doesn't lend itself to expanding the article much further than what would be prudent to mention within the context of the Downtown and Missoula articles. --JonRidinger (talk) 15:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion would be that every significant town's largest building has a good chance to be notable; the defintion of 'significant town', of course, is debatable, but Missoula, as the second largest city in Montana, is reasonable enough to be signficant. That said, many of these modern "lowscrapers" aren't especially notable; that said, WP:NOTPAPER allows us to cover a lot of stuff that doesn't seem too significant, or only gets a few hits a month, because Wikipedia is, as Jimbo says, the sum total of all human knowledge. The WP:GNG applies however (like it or not); looking the non-highest buildings over, (and recalling all comments are based on the online sources I can find); the First Interstate Center seems to have no significant notability; the First Security Bank does have a few gBooks hits that may confer notability (listing in the 1984 Rand McNally Bankers' Blue Book, for instance) but they seem to be in-passing or directory entries; the Garlington Building at first looks bad (nothing gBooks), but gets a few news hits ([15], another seems to refer to the old Garlington Building). Meanwhile the Millenium Building...has at least two buildings larger in Missoula (Aber Hall and Jesse Hall) but is still a moderatly significant building. So in summary, my suggestions are to

Weak keep Millennium Building and Garlington Building (Missoula, Montana) (and if kept move to Garlington Building)
Merge and redirect First Interstate Center (Missoula) and First Security Bank (Downtown Missoula) to Downtown Missoula. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:49, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I do not see how these articles, as currently formulated, meet WP:NN, which states in part that they should have evidence from reliable independent sources such as published journals, books, and newspapers. Except for the Millennium Building, which cites one newspaper article, I do not see any sources here that seem to me to meet WP:RS. Even the Millennium Building only has one such article, and to meet WP:NN it should have multiple reliable sources (one mention does not make a building notable). I think that the buildings could be mentioned in an article on (downtown) Missoula, but do not see how they meet WP:NN now (if there are more sources, please add them to the articles). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NN does not and has never required "multiple" reliable sources to pass WP:NN and specifically WP:GNG.--Oakshade (talk) 03:17, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG always refers to "sources" (in the plural) and says "Multiple sources are generally expected." with a note that says in part Lack of multiple sources suggests that the topic may be more suitable for inclusion in an article on a broader topic. This is what I suggested above. Even if one source is sufficient, only one of the four articles nominated here has anything like even one RS cited. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:25, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The plural is simply an grammatical affectation as to not appear to restrict the amount of sources. There is no requirement. --Oakshade (talk) 03:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And in the this case, there are plural reliable sources giving significant coverage (addressing "the subject directly in detail") as another one has been found by Carrite below. [16] --Oakshade (talk) 02:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. I can see no great notability in any of these buildings. They're just ordinary buildings in an ordinary smallish city. Most towns have buildings like this. They're simply not notable unless they're of particular architectural or historical merit. These do not seem to be. Coverage in local media is not sufficient to establish notability, as all buildings of any size are likely to get some coverage in local media. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question Is the Millennium Building really the tallest building in Missoula? It has 9 floors, which is roughly 90 feet (27 m) tall (if you use the 10 feet (3.0 m) per story rule of thumb). The University of Montana has Aber Hall, which is 11 stories tall (again should be about 110 feet (34 m) tall).[17] Just curious about the relative heights.

Keep and rename to List of films about class warfare. The nominator appears to agree that such a list would be within the scope of Wikipedia, but believes the article is irredeemable and needs to be started from scratch. It is indeed unfortunate that the list was started with such few entries, but the entries that are there do belong on the list (and in fact fits the narrower criteria of List of films about class warfare taking place on desert islands).

And on what basis will entries be included: the term "class warfare" does not occur in the WP article about The Admirable Crichton (it refers to "Barrie's satirical jab at class consciousness", but is that "warfare"?) and does not seem to be sourced in the article on the other film.

keep - I have attempted to address the two issues flagged on the article. Regarding the general issue of howto content in knot articles: it has generally been kept in check by keeping the tone as descriptive as possible and only including a single or most basic tying method. (see WP:KNOTS#Writing_about_methods_and_usage) When objections have come up before, appeals to WP:IAR, with the caveat that editors need to follow the guidelines mentioned above, have always been sufficient. But getting back to specifics on this article, since there are several types of diamond knot, it probably makes sense to move this article to one of the (many) alt names for this particular knot and make the current article a RWP. Should I wait until this discussion has concluded to propose that on the article's talk page? Thanks. --Dfred (talk) 02:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a notable and legitimate type of knot, useful as a decorative stopper knot. Could perhaps be merged into carrick bend, on which it is based, but shouldn't be deleted. Because the topology of a knot is a necessary part of its description, a "how-to-tie" section is necessary in knot articles. Therefore I agree with Dfred that this is a perfect case for WP:IAR.

Global hypokinesis of left ventricle[edit]

Declined PROD for a medical defect. Article's contents are completely taken from the comments section of a forum post in a website called MedHelp found here [18]. The "case study" is one of the commenters who said they have such-and-such a condition, and the editor has taken these comments at face value and thrown them in the article. I'm not sure if this is a case of copyright violation, but the contents of the article are not originating from reliable sources.

Delete. The copyright violation is clearly a fatal flaw. But that aside, everything contributed by the article creator Manarg forwards the idea that there is some sort of heart defect caused by frequent speculation or gambling, dubbed "Gambler's Syndrome". A page for Gambler's Syndrome was recently deleted as well and may have been related. Regardless, there does not appear to be any reliable sources supporting this claim, especially of the quality expected for medical topics.

Aspidotis victoriana[edit]

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

I spoke too soon in my AFD for this editor's other major contribution. This article is almost certainly a hoax. However, it is ineligible for quicker deletion processes, having survived a proposed deletion in May 2009.

Nothing about this article appears to be accurate. I can find no reference to Aspidotis victoriana in any sources other than Wikipedia mirrors. The same applies to the purported common name of regal lacefern. When this article was subject to proposed deletion, Sir Landmass Weevil claimed that modern sources may be considering A. victoriana a junior synonym for A. californica. That doesn't seem to be true, either (although there are synonyms missing from that article as he suggested), but even if it were, it would not warrant an article under that name.

But most seriously, the photograph used to illustrate the article is not a picture of A. victoriana taken "near Cascade Gorge, Orgeon" in 2006. Sir Landmass Weevil is not the copyright holder, and the claimed licensing is invalid. In actually, it is a digitally manipulated version (flipped and stretched horizontally) of the thumbail of a photograph of A. californica taken by photographer Michael Charters in Eaton Canyon County Park in 2003. [19] The image qualified for speedy deletion under F9 even if I've somehow managed to be wrong about the article content. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the first Taxonomic HOAX I've seen. But it's not funny. Regal Fern, Osmunda regalis, is a large, rare and beautiful plant; Lace Fern, Microlepia strigosa, also a fine plant, so that's where the name is made up from. Wonderful work by Squeamish Ossifrage by the way, especially locating the source of the image. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I'm having trouble imagining why someone would make such a hoax... but given how the picture turns out to be a copyvio, it's not unlikely. However I recommend someone please check the cited sources in the genus page, Aspidotis. I can't access them, but it's possible that it really might be a case of a synonym. Outdated and invalid names are pretty common.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 01:07, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although none of this is really in question at this point, the references added to the genus page appear to be real references, they just don't support what they were added to support. Even without the hoaxing, our coverage of these ferns needs some work. The irony here is that at least some sources really do recognize species we don't mention.

Miarritze Inscription[edit]

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

Creating this AFD is one of the reasons I've finally given up on IP editing. Hopefully I haven't botched the process!

I believe this article is a pure fabrication. I did not nominate it G3 because I do not believe it the misinformation is "blatant and obvious" but rather relatively well-crafted. However, that doesn't make it real. The only references I can find to the topic are Wikipedia mirrors. The primary "source" for the article, Antonio La Paglia's Beyond Greece and Rome: Faith and Worship in Ancient Europe almost certainly does not exist. Web searches for the title reveal only Wikipedia mirrors related to this article. Searches for the author, including under a variety of spelling variants, reveal only unrelated people. Surprisingly, Black Mountain Press is real; indeed, there are at least two of them. One publishes solely historical works related to famed Black Mountain College, the other is the publishing house for the Centre for Performance Research [24], a Welsh theatre organization. Niether would have any cause to publish a work about European mythology. On the other hand, the other cited work, Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia of Gods, is real, and I have access to a physical copy, but there are problems. It does not mention a Miarritze Inscription and does not provide any refernce for the Candus/Candamius claim -- simply put, it does not support the article in the slightest. I also have significant concerns over that book's general reliability and scholarly weight, but those are issues primarily for the dozens of other articles that cite it legitimately.

As a final concern, albeit one not strictly derived from policy, I will point out that the editor responsible for this article, Sir Landmass Weevil, who appears to have been active only intermittently in 2008 and 2009, anagrams to "Wireless Vandalism". I am in the process of looking over his other contributions. I have some concerns about his work on Aspidotis species, ~~but I'm not ready to make a case for Aspidotis victoriana as a hoax. Yet, anyway.~~ and I've nominated that one for deletion as well, especially since its illustrating photograph is a misrepresented copyright violation.

Please note that if I'm right (and I'd be thrilled to be proved wrong), additional cleanup to Candamius and Basque mythology will be required. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. I'd expect Google Scholar not to draw a complete blank about this inscription if it were real. Google Books finds one hit in what looks to be a New Age text about polytheism.[25] Never heard of the publisher, and it may be derivative of Wikipedia rather than the other way around. The books cited as references do not come up as hits.

Delete per WP:TOOSOON. I disagree with the G11 as despite the article being poorly written and smacking of promotion, it did offer enough information so that I could confirm it being planned and its director and "animated" star,[27] and by having the clues, rewrite the thing to be more presentable, and provide a source other than Facebook.

Keep and move to List of Costa Rican expatriate footballers - There are plenty of reliable sources available to expand this list, although it is in a terrible state at the moment. I've begun the process of formatting and adding references, but it needs attention. That's not reason enough to delete as the list can be quite useful when completed.

Keep with Rename as List of Costa Rican expatriate footballers but suggest limiting list to currently playing abroad per List of Romanian expatriate footballers as over not-too-long-a-time this and similar lists will become unmanageably large if all inclusive. I also prefer the sortable table format of List of Israeli footballers playing overseas. List of Estonian expatriate footballers could also be restricted to currently playing abroad if there is consensus for this and anyone has a mind to fix it. Lists should also be restricted by other qualifying criteria - eg. inherently wikinotable (ie- playing in a FPL, national team player etc.) to prevent creep to unworthy information clutter of unknowns playing 4th division obscure country league--ClubOranje^T 10:01, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (there was a conflict of edition previously...)

Moreover, I have personally included some additional data (among them a few references) since Achal Prabhala is clearly (in fact without the ghost of a doubt except for a person blinded by revenge) a known person be it as writer, researcher on free access to knowledge or member of any wikimedian institution...

Gerhard Ecker[edit]

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

~~Not Notable~~ Arguably now notable as this (currently) fails to meet any of the thresholds Wikipedia:Notability (academics):

(All 10 refs are primary (1-7 published papers, 8,9 do not mention person, 10 is OK but primary) = No secondary sources)

~~The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.~~ No independent reliable source
~~The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.~~ None listed
The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g. a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g. the IEEE). - I would argue that EFMC is not a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (no wikipedia entry), ~~but seems more notable than this biography, so if anything, he should be in that article rather than his own article~~
~~The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.~~
The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society. - Is EFMC considered a major academic society?
~~The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.~~
The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area. Arguably as joint editor of Molecular Informatics
~~The person is in a field of literature (e.g writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g. musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC.~~ Widefox (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2011 (UTC) Widefox (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I cannot follow the counting argument (also http://www.sfb35.at/ger/mitglieder.html does mention him). Substantially, I think there is little doubt that Ecker's research has significant impact and is highly cited. Vigilius (talk) 12:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I spelt out the criterion above to help. reason 1. the "significant impact" you claim has a threshold of "as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". There are none, and your link is not one either. Widefox (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The link listed by Vigilius just indicates Ecker is a member of a group of researchers and indeed does not do anything to establish notability. It is also difficult to figure out how much his works have been cited, because there are multiple people named "G Ecker". However, Ecker is editor of a well-established scientific journal, Molecular Informatics, meeting criterion #8 and is president of the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry, meeting #6. (That this federation has no Wikiarticle is immaterial, it suffices to read their "about" page to see that this is a major organization). --Crusio (talk) 19:12, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree your reference might satisfy #8 as he is joint editor (not head editor though), good, added to the article now, and removed notability tag. Agree #6 is arguable yes. My point about wikipedia is one of "notable national or international scholarly society" which is the criterion Widefox (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Citations are a reliable independent indicator of impact, they are the currency of the academic world. Drdee (talk) 23:31, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about what you say about citations. But as I stated above, I can't really figure out how much this person was cited and none of the other participants in the debate have said anything about citations either, so I'm curious on what you base your "keep" !vote here. Could you please explain? --Crusio (talk) 00:28, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (including associated scans/images) The only independent mention I could find is in Parent, C.; Spaccapietra, S.; "An Algebra for a General Entity-Relationship Model". IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 11 (7): "Chen's approach [51], [151] includes operators on both entities and relationships, while Markovitz and Raz [131] turn entities and relationships into one single representation on which a reshaped relational algebra is applied." Too trivial to establish notability. —Ruud 14:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Too trivial to establish notability." It is quite surprising to see such a claim from a person with degrees in Math and CS: This is misunderstanding of the entire subject and the purpose of RRA. Your citation above is from an article that compares ER algebras technically, without a judgement like yours, and it does not dare to make an outrageous claim like yours: "Trivial". It is far away from being trivial. RRA's purpose was to make a useful bridge from the Entity-relationship model (ERM) to the the relational model, and I consider it a huge success: Capturing the basic structure of Natural languages and extending the the static intuition captured by the ERM to relational languages (and others). RRA fulfills its purpose wonderfully for allowing to define accurate semantics for ERROL and implement it effectively over relational databases. ERROL is very notable, and ERROL is defined by RRA. At this point ERROL does not have life without RRA! (and I wonder if ever a better alternative to RRA is found: It is lean and mean and to the point). You have missed this "minor" point. --ERfan111 (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of making empty statements such as "outrageous claim" and "very notable", would you consider finding and listing some independent papers discussing RRA in (a bit) greater detail than the one I managed to find above? You'll find that this approach will be significantly more successful in convincing people that this article should be kept. —Ruud 22:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Let's first clearly separate two issues:~~

~~Expertise in the area, and~~
Counting references.

In your input above you pretend to be an expert: "Too trivial to establish notability." You belittle RRA. No, actually nullifying it ("trivial"), pretending to have the authority to do so. You do not mention references count. Well, let me put some content into my "empty statements:" You do not have a clue about what you are talking, and make false conclusions from a correct quotation. I say this with all the responsibility. First the quotation does not have any negative connotation which you put. Second, though both entities and relationships are represented by relations, they have different structures (symmetry breaking by ER compatibility and inclusion dependencies) and play different roles in RRA expressions. Third, I view it as a big achievement, to produce an algebra that captures a relational complete segment of the English language (and other natural languages) and allows to express all the queries common in most other database query languages (relational complete). This was the reason for me to initiate this article (not knowing about the process of checking before and getting consensus). Thus your arguments which I call "outrageous" stem from misunderstanding of the subject. Thus, please avoid comments like "Too trivial to be notable" about subject you have no understanding in, where you pretend to be an expert, and based on this make comments to delete an article. Now to counting:
First, as you should know, academic articles cite, but at most give only a brief description and possibly a brief comparison. Only text-books expand. Based on Google scholar the count I made is as follows (excluding the original authors' articles; using respective terms from articles' names): "modified relational algebra"+Markowitz: 6 citations; "entity relationship algebra"+Markowitz: 6; "reshaped relational algebra": 2. But this is not the whole story: as I said elsewhere here RRA is a building-block of ERROL which is cited much more (ERROL+Markowitz: ~100 - without the authors), without going into its implementation and semantics, i.e., without explicitly citing RRA. Quite notable for research language+algebra+prototype. How many citations are needed to be "notable?" Hundreds and more read it at different levels of thoroughness even if not cited massively.

--ERfan111 (talk) 00:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my comment again. I did not call RRA trivial, I called the citation trivial (merely mentioning the existence of RRA, instead of trying to discuss it at any length). I agree that academic papers usually only give "a brief description and possibly a brief comparison", but even this is not the case here. —Ruud 02:48, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I now see I misread your comment, and deeply apologize. To my defense I can only say that it is ambiguous, but I completely believe you. I remove the parts that reflect this misunderstanding. Regarding citing: I ~~should have~~ said "brief description at most," usually not even this.--ERfan111 (talk) 07:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, we've just deleted Yoav Raz at AfD, so this is next? As nom says, all the citations are to Raz and his team, so it looks like a fringe theory page without reliable, independent references, hence fails WP:N. It also looks very strange given the permission-given copying and scanning - if it's to be kept, it needs major cleanup. And it may be too technical for WP readers, would need serious wikifying and rewriting. But as it stands it's Delete. Unless anyone feels like adding reliable independent sources? Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. As was said above RRA is an integral part of ERROL. The success and notability of ERROL is the success of RRA (see above). RRA has a separate article since it has life of its own beyond ERROL, it is very mathematical (byond ERROL; like many other WP Math article), and its article is sufficiently long not to be merged to the ERROL article (3 reasons).--ERfan111 (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. There are references, but they seem to all be from a team at a single theoretical computer science department. They think this formulation is important but everyone else is pretty much ignoring it. This isn't fringe (in the wikipedia sense of false and opposed to mainstream), but non-notable meaning ignored by the mainstream. Dingo1729 (talk) 17:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it is not false or opposed to main stream. Relational tech is dominated by SQL with tremendous investment and inertia, and it is unlikely that alternatives are used in the foreseen future. Thus no wonder here that RRA (with English/ERROL) have not been considered and adopted for relational. However it has a good chance of utilization in new data management applications, for example around the Web. ERfan111 (talk) 13:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Just noticed deletion tag. Also Yoav Raz deleted. Will be difficult to remove all his important work. Not much is directly quoted about RRA (but rather through ERROL), but I consider it important since it introduces a new approach to database languages, which is user friendly due to closeness to natural language. The description of ERROL is incomplete without a complete specification of RRA. Other, more general aspects of RRA are described as well. The RRA approach is targeted on the relational model, but can be also applied to other data models. Yes, if the jpgs are a concern they can be converted manually to text (some work needed).

I see after the deletion tag daily viewing jumped from about 10 to 350 (but unfortunately not too many here). If so many people are interested, have your voice here. Anybody can add their opinion to try to keep it. ERfan111 (talk) 08:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC) — ERfan111 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

* Delete and move Rabbi Yochanan to this title. Agree with the nominator, this page should be the dab. Rabbi Yochanan is a less than optimal page title as none of the items include "Rabbi" in the title, which is potentially confusing. Much better to have the page at Yochanan in a section called "Rabbi". The move also solves the need to provide a link to John (given name). France3470 (talk) 05:26, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Striking out comment above to avoid confusion. After discussion, I agree with the below proposed merge and find it a preferable solution. France3470 (talk) 16:12, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Yehochanan (now redirecting to John), Yohanan and Johanan to a single disambiguation page. No reason to delete this; it is a valid search term. "This is a bit of a mess" and "Page not needed" are hardly arguments for deletion. There are plenty of Yo(c)hanans who were not rabbis. --Lambiam 17:01, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry could you clarify. Johanan and Yohanan are currently not disambiguation pages but rather given name pages. Are you suggesting these pages become dabs? France3470 (talk) 17:57, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I call any page of the form "XXX may refer to: • XXX-1 • XXX-2 • XXX-3 ..." a disambiguation page, including given-name and surname pages. So Yohanan is a disambiguation page. Johanan is not styled as a disambiguation page, but content-wise it is one: it tells you that the name Johanan can refer to • Johanan, son of Kareah, or • Johanan, son of Jojada. The Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן‎ can be variously transliterated as Yochanan, Yohanan or Johanan, also for the same individual. If it makes you happier, read "given-name page" for "disambiguation page" in my recommendation above. I see no problem in the same page offering some encyclopedic information on a name in the lead, followed by the list(s) of name bearers, as you can see, for instance, at Madison (name). --Lambiam 23:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. After the clarification, I'd be fine with this proposal of merging them all into a given name article with the current titles becoming redirects. Do you have thoughts on what title should be used? Page views seems to indicate Johanan might be the most common search term, but as ever these might not be the whole picture. France3470 (talk) 00:21, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Selecting the page title is not an easy call, but following the transliteration guideline at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew), the Hebrew name should be transliterated as Yohanan, and that would indeed be my first choice. However, in English Bible translations of the Old Testament, following the KJV, the spelling Johanan is conventional, and this also gets more Google hits in general. In current Wikipedia articles the use is inconsistent; for example, we have an article Johanan ben Zakai, but Four Sephardic Synagogues has a section Yochanan ben Zakai Synagogue and gives the synagogue's name elsewhere as "Rabban Yohanan Ben Zakai synagogue". --Lambiam 11:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just for clarification: pages with encyclopedia content are not disambiguation pages; disambiguation pages are not valid link targets, but given-name and surname articles are. Given that, I have no objection to the merger, if the name article handles all of the ambiguity without need a separate disambiguation page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no suggestion that the topic is not-notable - just that this method of organisation is confusing and duplicative. Gold rushes (in Australia at least) were spread over wide geographic areas and a country-wide article makes little sense (to me anyway), because there's no substantive link between each gold rush other than them being in the same country. Perhaps the current poor standard of the article is a reflection of that. Moondyne (talk) 15:31, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable topic although it would be good to reconcile this article with the other two mentioned in the nomination. The nominator's suggestion to move and strip out content would be one way to go or the other two articles could be merged here. "Delete and merge" is not suitable since there is no compelling need for deletion (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete) — however, merge and redirect to Gold rush#Australian gold rushes might be fine. Anyway, editorial process can be used and no deletion is required. Thincat (talk) 14:27, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which of those refs do you consider to be both: a) independent RSs, and b) more than trivial bare mentions? For example, the bio at a Naxos Records page on someone else, that mentions him in one sentence, is neither an independent RS nor non-trivial, and does not count towards notability. The same with the kadmous blog bio on someone else, that mentions him in one sentence. And the school newspaper article that mentions him in one sentence does not count at all towards notability (articles in a school or university newspaper would generally be considered trivial, and this bare mentions clearly is trivial). The same with the TimeOut listing of a concert that your offer as evidence of notability. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"He" is a she. Being an inclusionist I think it's useful to have some info available for people who want to find out who she is from her two most notable student's articles.

CarolMooreDC 23:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies as to the subject's gender. My problem with the indicated sources is that they are precisely the sort of sources that -- as indicated -- are of no moment in demonstrating notability for wp purposes, per our notability guidelines. Sources that do not count towards notability, but are not "suspect", still fail to demonstrate the subject's notability for wp purposes. If you wish to have what wp views as trivial mentions count towards notability, and mention in school papers count towards notability, and concert listing count towards notability, you may wish to change our notability guidelines, and perhaps you will gain support. But as our guidelines stand, these don't demonstrate notability for our purposes. As I said at the outset, I concede that this person exists.

Surely it doesn't (I think Stuart was just hunting in different likely places for references...), but the article does need some citations to prove notability. I suspect you're the person best placed to add them, if you can bear to do it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is nothing in this article that shows the notability of the director. It claims that Marsh has won several awards but doesn't list any of them in this article. The article for A Blind Perspective does list one of the awards, but it's a student award and in my experience those generally aren't considered to be notable enough to prove notability. It also doesn't help that neither of the links in the article are considered to be trivial sources at best and aren't reliable sources. A search did not bring up anything that would be considered a reliable source for notability either. He might make it big in the future but he isn't notable right now.

Delete per WP:NotJustYet without prejudice for a future recreation if expandable and properly sourcable. The filmmaker himself has only two short films searchable,[36] and I have been able to verify only one of the awards spoken of in the article. He is written of, and alludes to other awards, only on the website for the production company he created... but not anywhere else... and we do not use Self-published-websites to source assertions of notability. While his film winning at least one of what could be considered a notable award might be enough per WP:ANYBIO, we truely do not have anything written about him in reliable sources upon which to build a decent BLP. Until that changes and we can actually share verifiable information about this individual, the stub article is unlikley to be improved or expanded. Let his career grow and him receive coverage and we can speak about this down the road. But for now, it's quite weak on WP:V, and THAT's the major concern.

Weak keep. To politely disagree with the respected nominator, an award from the notable Royal Television Society, the oldest such in the world, honoring student achievement[37] is a quite decent assertion of notability. It does not matter that other films may have received awards, as we consider the award itself and what IT means: being recognized by a notable institution for one's creative efforts. That's noteworthy. This is not the winning some trivial prize in a minor contest, but verifiable national recognition by a notable organization, thus allowing the film to be worthy of note, even in the lack of significant coverage. For a 3-minute animated short, this is quite the coup. Unless the assertion is that recognition by the Royal Television Society is somehow not major nor notable, this passes WP:NF#Other evidence of notability#3. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly open to a discussion on this point, and when I have time will explore it myself. My focus, admittedly, as mentioned at the outset was as to the lack of coverage in RSs. All disagreement, and especially polite disagreement, is of course welcome. I would also be interested in the view of MQS as to whether the director here is notable -- his article is at AFD as well. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Marsh (director)--Epeefleche (talk) 04:06, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment MQS---I was looking more closely at the Royal Television Society awards, and it seems as through the film has actually won a regional award, not a national award. The undergraduate entries that regionally win are then selected further for "National Judging," however, A Blind Perspective did not win this national judging, nor was it in the running for nomination at the "National Judging" level. I don't deny that it has an award from a notability television organization, but I'm wary of placing a lot of weight on this regional award given that the film did not appear to survive the next "round" of nominations. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 04:29, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. A single regional student award is insufficient to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My thought is through consideration of just WHO it is that chose to recognize the filmmaker's achievement, and not toward the age of the filmmaker nor that he was a student when being so recognized, and the fact that we do have precedent where younger artists can be found notable through recognition of their achievements. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - And if there were more material supporting notability, then I would be swayed to opine a "keep", but with this single award, no. -- Whpq (talk) 02:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Gone to weak above. I do not expect wide comentary and review for a 3-minute animated film, and have only been able to verify that one award. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I haven't had time to look at this more closely, but will say that I do respect MQS's views, and laud him for modifying (somewhat) his !vote based on the discussion. Too many of our colleagues dig in their heels, and fail to take an honest second look, once they have established a position.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Thanks. The easy road would have been to do a complete 180, and I do agree that in-depth commentary and review of this 3-minute film would be great to have, but per the applicable SNG a film receiving a notable award by a notable organization is worth considering for inclusion, no matter its coverage or lack, as long as we have verifiability of the material in the article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I'll match you. I'll change my !vote to Weak Nomination. Given the award. I hadn't looked at it from that angle, at the time of nomination. And frankly -- but if the regional awards were only regional awards, and there were not a national round (which it did not win), I might well have viewed even the regional award as sufficient. Kudos to Jethro as well, for his good work.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:41, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Considering the auspicious nature of the body making the award, I feel it may be perhaps more notable then we might consider a Regional Emmy, and then I keep in mind that not all winners of the regionals go on to win the nationals, but can be notable none-the-less.

Wikipedia has shown through consensus that the Occupy movement is not notable enough for front page coverage doktorb _words^deeds 16:23, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since when do events need to have worldwide / front page coverage to be notable? And when has the community reached such a consensus? WP:EVENT says that the coverage needs to be over a "wide region" and that in terms of its long-term effects, it says that even though we might not be able determine whether the movements have lasting effects right now, "this does not mean that recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 16:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

doktorb has simply cut&pasted his usual objection to any nominations related to the Occupy movement that appear in Wikipedia's In The News page, WP:ITN/C. This is why his vote is essentially incoherent and the rationale behind his vote misses the criteria required of AfD. Deterence ^Talk 21:15, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment My vote here is not a copy and paste from ITN/C, as anyone can see by looking there. Your personal animosity towards me might be clouding your opinions and administrators might want to consider this when looking at your votes here and elsewhere doktorb _words^deeds 21:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Pray tell, what on Earth is the relevance of this to AfD?: "Wikipedia has shown through consensus that the Occupy movement is not notable enough for front page coverage". And while we're at it, WHAT consensus? Deterence ^Talk 21:31, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Constant failed nominations at ITNC where balanced and reasoned argument has consistently proven that the community which takes part in those debates agrees that the "little local difficulty" which occurs at these "events" is not notable enough for front page coverage. If we extend that to these spin-off articles, we can see very clearly that the articles are essentially stream of consciousness blog posts for minor news stories. Wiki is not a blog hosting service or a primary source for news. As such, these articles violate Wikipedia rules on inclusion. This and others like it should be deleted. doktorb _words^deeds 21:36, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given that you fallen on insults here and elsewhere, I think neutral observers can gather which one of us is dealing with the issues, and which one of us is dealing with personal prejudices and POV pushing. I have directed people to consider that ITN/C has discussed these issues and others, and each time has voted down front page inclusion. This consensus is enough to show that the wider community believes that there is no notability inherent in these articles. I notice that you do not disagree with me that Wikipedia is not a blog hosting service or primary source for news. I also remind you to be WP:CIVIL. doktorb _words^deeds 21:45, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How on Earth does the failure of a handful of Occupy-related nominations to be posted on Wikipedia's In The News section on the front page entail that all Occupy articles should be deleted? MOST nominations fail, (because ITN has an extremely high notability requirement for inclusion, unless the subject is the resignation of an American football coach who stood back and let a co-worker rape young children), and if we start deleting every article that isn't notable enough for the front page then 99.9% of Wikipedia's articles will be deleted. You're being completely irrational. Were you in the Special Ed classes in school? Are you still in the Special Ed classes in school? Deterence ^Talk 22:05, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by nominator: I want to respond to an earlier comment that this is somehow 'POV-pushing'. I have surveyed a large number of "Occupy" articles and believe that as of now, about half of them do not meet WP:EVENT guidelines. I agree now, in retrospect, that this would be a discussion better held at the discussion page on the Occupy Movement in general, but I just thought "Occupy Regina" was the most obvious example of a non-notable Occupy event. Of course, the flip side of the same coin is that many Occupy protests are notable in their own right, such as Occupy Oakland, which has raised many discussions about civil disobedience, police brutality, mayoral authority, constitutional rights etc. Occupy Regina, on the other hand, has no apparent long-term significance, and the dust has basically settled on the event. It did not even leave as much a legacy in the city itself. Even if it were to be merged with the Occupy Canada article, it would deserve no more than a few sentences at max. We are here to build an encyclopedia, and we are not an indiscriminate collection of all events covered in the news. Colipon+(Talk) 02:32, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For goodness sake, that's like saying the Battle of Denmark isn't notable simply because the Battle of France was so much more dramatic. They're all elements of the same Occupy saga, and as such they all have encyclopedic value to anyone doing research into the Occupy movement. Deterence ^Talk 04:31, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The three !Keeps identified as possible results of canvassing fail utterly to even mention a wiki policy or guideline. In fact, they approach conspiracy theory reasoning. I like it, you can't tell it won't become notable soon, and this is censorship of something unique ad historic! Actually, they do provide any reviewing admin three excellent reasons to !Delete, or at least not to give their votes more than a giggle. So with or without canvass tags, these !Keeps already discount themselves. And as I point out, Wikipedia isn't even losing any real information since it can all stay in the Occupy Canada article just fine. JFHJr (㊟) 16:32, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Redirect only if content is preserved There's actually a lot of info in the Regina article that's not in the Canada article: nor, I suspect, would there be space in the Canada article to have this level of referenced info on the details of each notable local event.

Keep - The Occupy movement has the potential to radically alter the focus of public policy for years to come. While its full impact will not be known for some time it is clear that it is far too early to either write off the movement or declare its aims and objectives realized. Canada is a very diverse nation; you simply cannot group every instance of Occupy under one banner and pretend to fairly describe the nuances of the movement. The Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northern Canada, Central Canada, the Prairies and the West Coast all have very unique characteristics that results in movements like Occupy being realized differently in each of these regions. It would be a shame to lose a chronicle of how the movement manifested itself in each of these regions by mashing it into a single parent article; this would be an over-simplification and demonstrate a glaring ignorance of the way political movements like this impact the nation at a regional level. It would be like combining the Reform and PC Party articles with the Conservative Party of Canada article because the political ideologies are similar. For now, let's wait and see what happens.

- I dispute that this article meets WP:GNG. It clearly does not. The key is the phrasing of 'significant coverage'. I do not believe a news spike of any event amounts to the standard of 'significant coverage' that GNG refers to; this would be seemingly confirmed by WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT, which clearly stipulates that the event must have some sort of "long-term impact" or was 'pivotal' or 'game-changing' in some way. If such was the case then any event that receives sudden spike in coverage on national media deserves a standalone Wikipedia article. Further, GNG gives a golden caveat for establishing standards for standalone articles, namely: "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." All in all interpreting these guidelines comprehensively the WP:GNG argument does not hold water.

This is fair, and I think an important distinction that you've made, Kww.
