This article appears to be more suitable for Wiktionary. Past discussion on the articles talk page did not reveal any clear path to expand this topic to encyclopedic scope. Dfeuer (talk) 00:05, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - There's a fair bit of potential for this article to expound upon the study of ETAs: methodological insights, computational algorithms, interrelated logistical effects, and various other phenomenology.   — C M B J   02:46, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wouldn't all of those relate more to the various contexts in which ETAs appear, rather than ETAs themselves? ETA=ETD+estimated time in transit. ETD might relate to how long it takes a hard disk to spin up, whether a previous flight arrived on time, or how long it takes to manufacture a widget from parts that may or may not be available. Transit time may depend on bus contention, network latency, cargo ship schedules, or storms. I'm not really seeing how ETA really serves to tie these things together. Can you suggest a source that provides such a framework? Dfeuer (talk) 04:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps a better point for me to make: I think having an article on ETA is like having an article on "less than or equal to". Each has a place in one or more encyclopedia articles, but I don't see how either can stand on its own.Dfeuer (talk) 08:05, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have less than or equal to, note, as well as ≤. Uncle G (talk) 11:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • less than or equal to is a redirect, and ≤ is a disambiguation page, each linking to a substantial topic. Dfeuer (talk) 05:35, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The nomination seems to suppose that we are required to expand articles to some particular size. That is not our policy. Enough is as good as a feast and so it is quite common for entries in other encyclopedias to be quite small. Warden (talk) 12:00, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't suppose that, but when I nominated this article for deletion, it contained a definition of a term and a list of ways the term is used. According to WP:NOT#DICTIONARY, more is needed. Someone has since expanded the article with a giant list of patents having to do with ETA calculation in various contexts. Perhaps I should suggest we instead rename this article to "List of patents on devices for calculating estimated times of arrival", and link to the definition of "estimated time of arrival" in Wiktionary?

• Keep - Seems reasonable to have this common term of usage in the encyclopedia. Someone not knowing what ETA meant would be well served by this article.--MLKLewis (talk) 22:58, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to WP:NOT#DICTIONARY, this is not an acceptable reason. Dfeuer (talk) 03:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I'm inclusionist. Enough said. Nixdorf (talk) 10:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Easily passes WP:GNG just with the references already in the article. Needs some work, but that doesn't warrant deletion. - SudoGhost 04:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep is a complex concept, not just a dicdef. This article is way too long to appear in a dictionary. A mathematical formula goes into determining this. Even if this article was short, it would still belong in an encyclopedia as a stub. Wiktionary is not a place for short Wikipedia articles. Dew Kane (talk) 23:17, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The language of this article is inflammatory and biased. Specifically, using inflammatory language such as "propaganda" and only referring to war atrocities to Serbs. Sphorbis (talk) 23:06, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 July 10. Snotbot  t • c »  23:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep Serbia was strongly involved in mass murders, rape, torture and genocide in Croatia and Bosnia during the Yugoslav wars of the mid-1990's. No one can hide these facts. They supplied the Bosnian and Croatian Serbs with heavy weaponry and tanks that destroyed the city of Vukovar and killed thousands of people in Sarajevo. Was the massacre of Vukovar here a lie? This is not inflammatory...its the truth. Serbia indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of Bosnian Muslims in the 1990's through their Bosnian Serb proxies. But perhaps the article regarding the Kosovo war of 1999 should be reduced since the scale of Serb atrocities against the Kosovars was less until NATO intervened on Kosovo's behalf. Just my opinion. This is my only edit here. Thank You, --Artene50 (talk) 01:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There are 0 (zero) sources in this article. I searched, and found an additional 0 (zero) sources. According to my math, 0+0.. hang on... carry the zero... is not multiple reliable sources. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, there's one source in the article, which has been there from its very first revision, that the nominator here keeps removing because xe doesn't appear to comprehend that a news article source is locatable if, as in this case, it gives the full byline, dateline, title, and publication information. In this instance, one can even just put the title of the article into Google Web and it comes up.

• Weak keep, possibly merge and redirect to Collin Street Bakery. I fixed the link to the very detailed Los Angeles Times obituary[2], which appears to have been republished in other important sources such as The Boston Globe[3]. And the search string <McNutt fruitcake> turns up quite a bit of substantial coverage for Mr. McNutt and his "fruitcake empire"[4], including a 1968 Wall Street Journal feature[5] (paywalled), a 1981 feature in People[6], a 1986 L.A. Times feature (written by a different reporter than the obit)[7], and many more. The existing article about the bakery is not particularly well sourced or written but its notability seems clear (it even has its own article in The Handbook of Texas Online [8]). There's enough individual coverage about Mr. McNutt to support an argument for his individual notability, but it might be better to combine these articles to produce one well-made, fresh article studded with plenty of high-quality sources, rather than two stale, shabbily composed, mainly promotional articles--you know, just like fruitcakes. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep based on additional sources found by Arxiloxos and some others I found at [9] and LA Times, 1986. He was elected a member of the Texas Business Hall of Fame in 2002. This article can and should be kept and brought up to WP standards. There are enough articles featuring McNutt Jr and the Collin Street Bakery to expand both articles. DocTree (talk) 19:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated this article for deletion 5 years ago on account of non-notability; the outcome then was "keep and rewrite". However, the rewrite is still a hagiography - in the literal as well as figurative sense - that quotes two websites, both of which do not look like reliable sources and one of which is a dead link. A Google search reveals no obvious other reliable sources, apart from a mention in a children's book. I submit that there are just not enough reliable sources available to write an article about this figure that complies with WP:V and WP:NPOV.  Sandstein  11:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC) The sources found below under a variant name indicate that the subject is notable and that the article should be kept.

• Keep and move to Bebe Nanaki, over the redirect. A book search on "Bebe Nanaki" gives plenty of hits. She is without doubt notable. The honorific "Ji" does not belong in the article title, and was throwing off the search results. I have changed the "find sources" link above. That said, the article is not exactly neutral and there seems to be some copyvio history that perhaps means the article should be deleted to clear it, then started from scratch. I could start a new version from the sources. Not sure what the right process is. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:11, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• You're right, a search for "Bebe Janaki" indicates that there are adequate sources. If there are copyvio concerns with the text (where?), I agree that a deletion and a rewrite from scratch would be the best option.  Sandstein  07:43, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• The copyvio content was edited out long ago, but is still held in historical versions, e.g. here. This is a large lump of material. My feeling is that it should be purged. One solution is to just delete this version, then turn the redirect page Bebe Nanaki into an article from book sources. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and move to Bebe Nanaki, over the redirect. I'm not convinced that you need to do something as drastic as completely deleting something in order to rewrite it.

• Delete - non-notable local politician and businessman; comment - it was probably created as a WP:COATRACK for information about the arrest of this Republican leader on a local college campus "based on SMU's receipt of multiple student complaints against Mr. McNutt alleging behavior that violates University policy, such as offering alcohol to minors"; which his lawyer is now attempting to suppress, including on Wikipedia, based on an alleged court order, despite its clear documentation in newspaper articles, etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't think the idea that SMU has barred this person from their campus is in dispute. The editor who posted about the issues stated: "An individual listed on Wikipedia has obtained a court order erasing the arrest from databases." here. They also stated that "I have a client and he has a court order removing the arrest info." here, both of which seem to imply that they have an association with the subject, that there is an existing court-ordered legal action and that the arrest for violating SMU's written notice is what they want deleted from WP's 'database'.

Unable to find reliable, secondary sources which evidence the notability of this author and academic under WP:GNG. However, language barriers may very well be in play. The SRWIKI entry was based (it says) off the dust jacket. Worldcat does note one of the books [11], plus lists a single library where it's held (but how well does Worldcat cover Serbia?) Still, WP:AUTHOR seems in doubt. Still, I couldn't find much under "Novica Marjanovic", or "Новица Марјановић". Additional sources welcomed. j⚛e decker^talk 17:06, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Do Not Delete This is a genuine and accurate article about the most important demographer in the Jewish community in Britain. Kahn-Harris is well known and highly respected in his field and I do not understand why this has been marked for deletion. I have quoted him in my own publications and he is often noted in secondary sources. 11 July, 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greystar (talk • contribs) 20:31, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This article is part of a number of edits all connected to Hodder (the publishers) involving one account that I blocked and the sock blocked by Drmies. Going through the references here, the first is a profile (not a reliable sources), and the second is a name in a list; the third doesn't mention the subject; the fourth is be the subject, and cannot establish notability; the fifth, I regard as a possible source for notability - but only just (and others may disagree); the sixth and seventh are a profile, and so is the seventh. The list looks impressive, but contains only one of what I would consider a possible reliable source - which refers to a book not discussed in the article - possibly because it is published by Berg rather than Hodder. I notice that the publisher is only named in the list here for one book. I may be cynical - what the heck, I am cynical. I would note, by the way, that the enthusiastic post above is (to my surprise) not by an SPA but is by an editor who first edited in 2007 and has made few but apparently sound edits which do not seem to be connected to Hodder.

However, I understand that it is not my role to do this! My status as an academic and writer is sufficient to meet Wikipedia standards for inclusion, but it's difficult for me to prove this! Please look at my website kahn-harris.org for more info. Could someone let me know what I can do to ensure that the entry for me is unmarked for deletion.

• Strong keep Keith Kahn-Harris is a reputable scholar, who has authored several books and research reports, has co-written the only contemporary sociological study of British Jewry, is a regular media commentator on his areas of specialism (popular music and the Jewish community), writes regularly for periodicals such as The Guardian, Jewish Chronicle, Jewish Quarterly and New Statesman. So, not the most notable of academics, but sufficiently for a Wikipedia article.BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:04, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Further to my statement, have looked again at WP:ACADEMIC. The subject meets a couple of the criteria, of which only one is needed.1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. The article needs citations to show this better, but Kahn-Harris has made significant impact on sociology of Jewishness and popular music studies. There are plenty of book reviews that could show this in scholarly journals, as I saw from glancing at Google Scholar. So, citations needed rather than AFD. 7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. KKH's media profile shows this. When I have time, am happy to do some research to add citations. BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:04, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Editing an article about one's self is not forbidden, so long as the editing doesn't introduce promotional material, or remove referenced material that the subject doesn't like. There is no problem about bringing better references to the table here - believe me, they are needed for a clear showing of notability. No matter how many people come here and shower praises on the subject, if there are no references in reliable independent sources WP:RS that back this fulsome praise up then their time is wasted. Don't just say he's the best thing since the Exodus from Egypt - give us evidence. I am also going to suggest that either the publishers of all three listed books be named, or the one that is should have that name removed. This is in the interest of avoiding an appearance of advertising by that publisher. Peridon (talk) 19:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Most widely held book in libraries (co-edited), After subculture: Critical studies in contemporary youth culture, currently in more than 320 libraries worldwide according to WorldCat. This book has over 190 citations on GS. I wonder if COI is really at play here; this book was no even listed in the article until I edited it a few minutes ago. Also has other books of solid impact.--Eric Yurken (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The author of the article seemed rather keen on promoting Hodder publications and authors (and a small number of others). There's no suggestion (on my part at least) that the subject of the article has been involved in the creation of the article. Peridon (talk) 14:20, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a very out of date collage of other history of Sri Lanka articles and is not a total representation of of the time mentioned, it is very poorly done. Also the history of Sri Lanka does not separate into pre and post colonial periods, all the appropriate sub articles already exist. Blackknight12 (talk) 14:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Sure the quality of the article can be upgraded, but the point is that everything in this article has been taken from one of the other subpages that have been properly spun off. And you missed the point that the history of Sri Lanka is not defined by pre and post colonial periods.

• Delete - I agree with the nominator that this namespace does not seem useful in describing Sri Lanka's history, and there are already articles on the History of Sri Lanka as well as for Ancient history of Sri Lanka, Medieval history of Sri Lanka, and Colonial history of Sri Lanka. Nothing is to be gained by having an article that artificially combines two of these three periods based on them having nothing more in common than that they aren't the third. Useful, non-duplicative material should be moved to either the general article (which, by the way, could use quick summaries of the individual kingdoms within the medieval period), or the pages for individual periods. Agricolae (talk) 01:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with History of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura Kingdom, Chola dynasty, Polonnaruwa Kingdom, Kingdom of Dambadeniya and Jaffna kingdom. I notice that some parts of the article, for example Kingdom of Dambadeniya, have already been merged with the appropriate articles. The rest of the article should also be merged, preserving the vital references and further reading material. But there is no reason for this article to exist separately, because it falls under the broad category of Hitory of Sri Lanka, and there exists a separate series of articles that deal with each era.

• Merge. My answer is almost the same as Astrmonyinertia's. I would also like to add that, when one speaks of precolonial era, the time limits tend to differ depending on the context. In a political context or if one is interested in tracing the history of the divisions which existed in the island, then it generally refers to the time right before the colonial entry into the island in 1505. Colonial era for the different parts of the island was quite different. Eg. for a good part of the Sinhalese people, namely the Kandyans, the colonial era doesn't start until 1815, when the Kandyan kingdom fell. In other words, the Kandyans have no history of Portuguese and Dutch colonial rule - they just had encounters with these colonial powers, mainly in the form of war, trade and negotiations. Sri Lanka's colonial period proper starts in 1815, with the whole island coming under foreign rule, and in the literature related to SL, one will therefore often find that scholars treat the period right upto 1815 as pre-colonial in many contexts. Also as Blackknight12 has pointed out, Sri Lanka's history is not (usually) dealt with, by dividing it in this manner and there are other sub-articles which deal with all the topics in the almost 2000 year period this single article tries to deal with by squeezing them into short paragraphs. --SriSuren (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Multiple Merge -- This is certainly not rubbish. The problem is that it si duplicating History of Sri Lanka and its more detailed sub-articles. It is trying to cover everything up to 1505. We have Ancient history of Sri Lanka and Medieval history of Sri Lanka, which should be sufficient. However, the latter has a section that merely consists of a list of links to main articles on each kingdom. This could do with expansion to provide a general account of the subject. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:32, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I understand the reasoning for merging with other articles but I doubt this article contains any content that other articles don't - it's simply been copied from other articles. The section on Jaffna kingdom is the lead from Jaffna kingdom, the Books and magazines section is copied from the Further reading section of History of Sri Lanka.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 15:09, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Program never aired or went beyond pilot stage, sourcing and article text is very confusing (it's a pilot that was re-picked up in 2012 from a 2009 pilot? I don't understand that), and despite the cite of the category above, that's mainly for pilots that have had deep discussion in the media about why they weren't picked up and were very good, not this unexceptional program that seems to be in a purgatory between ABC and Lifetime. Nate • (chatter) 03:09, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - While the nominator's rationale isn't really valid, I do agree that the article should be deleted, for lack of stated notability. An unaired pilot needs to have some sources to show why it is notable enough to be included in the project, and the only sources provided or that I can find are just very minor confirmations of who was to star in it, and does not establish why this pilot was notable.

The result was no consensus. There isn't strong agreement on whether the sources in this article establish notability, both sides of the argument have valid points and neither side is overwhelming. Also, the strange nature of this AfD (sockpuppet nominator, botched relist) makes it more difficult to close one way or another. For this reason, there is no prejudice against speedy renomination. -Scottywong| prattle _ 16:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page contains only information gathered from newspaper sites. The content is over 5yrs old; it reads simply as an old newspaper story. Fedgetrashmore (talk) 10:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Well... newspaper sources are typically considered to be reliable sources that can help show notability and to be honest, there shouldn't really be anything in here that isn't sourced by one thing or another. We also don't delete something because it's old news. If someone or something achieves notability per Wikipedia guidelines, that notability does not go away over time. (Unless the standards tighten up and they don't meet the new guidelines, that is.) I cleaned the article up a little and took out a few things, but I'm more worried that this didn't get enough coverage to count as notable. I'll see what else I can find or if this can be mentioned somewhere else on Wikipedia with this name as a redirect. It's big enough that it got quite a bit of coverage, but not enough to where it clearly isn't just a case of WP:ONEEVENT.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the WP:ONEEVENT not making the person notable; however, from the brief research I did I see that he is an outspoken activist. The arrest would be an event surrounding his activism and his activism is what I believe would make him notable (not that every activist deserves a Wikipedia, but the most notable ones that get arrested for what he did probably do). Just a thought....I'm moving on. --Morning277 (talk) 14:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The claim of notability is in the article and supported by citations. Regardless of the citations being in print or online, they are still citations. The notion that the article should be deleted based on the citations being from newspapers is rediculous. Google the name followed by "arrest" and there are plenty of online sources. Just a note to Fedgetrashmore - it is always good to check out sources to see if they exist prior to making a Rfd. --Morning277 (talk) 14:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - this article is precisely what should be avoided when we talk aboutWP:ONEEVENT. If you read any of those news links, th arrest had nothing to do with activism, it was only after the arrest that the media got wind of those associations. Moreover, the activism was hardly national news... it relates to a small local bookstore. How can this be considered as notoriety?

• Delete per WP:CRIME, and WP:BLPCRIME. Subject is notable for only one event: being arrested for a crime that he was never charged or convicted of. I don't believe the "person of interest" and his punk rock band are at all notable, and the "Awards" section doesn't have any citations, and the single award doesn't seem notable either. If the crime (the leaking of government plans) was notable (doubtful), it should have an article, but the article should be about the crime - not the person who is only notable for being arrested and released the same day. ~Adjwilley (talk) 20:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:GNG. Agree with User:Morning277. The citations are reliable for the article. Unlike the US, in Canada we have no laws provincially (as far as I know) or federally protecting "whistle blowers". Further, the fact that the RCMP was investigating him in 2008 is significant.

• Allan Woods (Ottawa Bureau). "The anarchist and the leak". The Star. Toronto. Retrieved 2012-07-15. The man arrested for allegedly leaking the Conservative government's environmental plan was a temporary employee...a drummer in a punk band that sings an angry screed against the Prime Minister and the 'rise of the right.' This is a close call.  Of course the event passes WP:GNG, but is it a forgettable WP:NOT routine event or is this a part of Canadian history?  There is a problem here in not knowing the person's full name, but it would be nice if the next time this is nominated the editor has more than ten edits total.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:30, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "[S]haping the career of a widely-known, pop sensation" does not pass WP:NMUSIC per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Those three sources (which are all of questionable reliability) are all in relation to Lady Gaga; Lady Starlight has no notability outside of this tabloid "friendship". SplashScreen (talk) 06:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:INDISCRIMINATE is not a magic wand to make pop culture articles go away. It is not a "tabloid friendship", but a professional relationship between two entertainers. The subject of this article played a powerful role in influencing and building the career of a highly notable entertainer and there is plenty of coverage to go with that.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 17:32, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "Tabloid friendship", "professional relationship", whatever. If a person is only known because of their association with another person and are not subject to independent and non-trivial coverage from multiple, verifiable, reliable or independent sources, then they are not notable on Wikipedia. SplashScreen (talk) 09:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:INHERITED does not mean that just because something is only discussed in the context of something else that there cannot be an article on it. The standard for having an article spinoff is if the subject is notable enough for an article and the amount of coverage of that subject is substantial enough that it could not all be included in the main article. Other policies apply, but there is no indication that this article violates any of those policies.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 19:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a copyvio. After seeing DC's comment I found that, aside from the portion ripped from wikia, the rest of the article appears to be copied from her official page. Even if there is some sort of permission involved we should not be substantially copy-pasting this kind of material into an article.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 04:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• On top of Tokyogirl's edits, I've removed some more unsourced content and citations from unreliable blogs and even Wikipedia itself. We now have citations from a potentially unreliable biography of Lady Gaga [34], a list of dates in which she will be performing at the same place as Lady Gaga [35] and a series of unverified claims about Lady Gaga in a interview [36]. I think it's safe to say that this individual holds no notability outside of her relationship with Lady Gaga and fails WP:NPEOPLE and WP:MUSICBIO. SplashScreen (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• No, that is not "safe to say" as there are plenty of reliable sources out there on this individual and even tabloids confer notability. However, at this point, until those reliable sources are added in and material written based off them, this article would have to be a stub.

Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians[edit]

Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD • Stats)

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

I came across this when I was cleaning up Good articles and after a talk with Moonriddengirl (talk · contribs) delisted it. It has since been flagged as a copyright violation and needs to be re-written completely from scratch. The more I think about, the less value I see with having this article. Pre-blanking it was basically just a list of quotes from different literary sources. It was really just a large footnote section in the form of an article. Any information here would be much more use in expanding the origin of the Romanians (unfortunately also blanked due to copyright violations). AIRcorn (talk) 06:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Pre-blanking version here. Voceditenore (talk) 09:13, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This may become moot. If the article isn't rewritten, it will be deleted 6 days from now. But it's probably worthwhile to register a consensus about keeping it as a suitable topic. My main reason for deletion is that the subject "Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians" does not appear to be a topic of independent study. Various authors refer at times to the interpretation of literary sources in the context of dealing with larger issues, but that's not the same thing. This article is full of synthesis and original research, both in terms of what quotes to select and the interpretation of their significance. Also, many of these quotes have interjected interpretations of what they are referring to, which isn't necessarily in the source. Frankly, I don't see how such a topic could be anything but original research and synthesis unless the quotes were simply presented with a minimum of commentary, in which case the article is just a a quote farm. Note also that many of the quotes are in English translations that are still in copyright. Others are from such old translations that their accuracy is subject to challenge. This makes the quote farm approach even less viable. Voceditenore (talk) 08:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"does not appear to be a topic of independent study"? You are mistaken. Google Book search for "origin of the Romanians". The article can be elaborated from those sources and comply with all WP rules. I strongly object to the blanking of the page and any deletion under erroneous grounds of copyvio, see below. Anarchangel (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Quotations#Copyrighted material and fair use shows rationales for using quoted material in articles, just as QUOTEFARM is a link to rationales against. As late as 2011, WP:LONGQUOTE said, "Using too many quotes may detract from the encyclopedic <feel> of Wikipedia." <my emphasis>, which I think exemplifies perfectly this rule's status as a purely stylistic preference, and not to be taken seriously as a guideline, however cleverly it was reworded. Anarchangel (talk) 03:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No one here is saying that the topic "origin of the Romanians" is not a legitimate topic. However, we are questioning the validity of "Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians" as one. The copy-violations and blanking are separate to this afd, and would need to be argued at a different venue (WP:CCI I would think). AIRcorn (talk) 22:46, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fakirbakir has already shown that lists of sources are a common focus of articles; returning to an already resolved issue instead of answering the issue of scholarship on this topic really just seems to me a lot like moving the goalposts. It would be better practice to use the phrase "alleged copy-violations", or as the notice says, "potential copyright violations". Origin of the Romanians is currently blanked. The claims of copyvio on that article are stronger in that they are quotes from the scholarship of secondary sources, but considerably weaker in that there are comparatively very few of them. Anarchangel (talk) 03:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose In this case please delete pages like "List of sources for the Crusades" or "List of sources of Korean culinary history" or "List of sources of law in the United States" or "List of sources for Disney theatrical animated features" etc..... This article is about historical sources (mainly primary sources). It is very useful for Romanian historical researches and helps to avoid POV. Wiki contains lots of fringle theory and if you do not know history you will accept those false/nationalist views easily. Fakirbakir (talk) 10:28, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that all those articles are merely lists of works, not a series of cherry picked quotes from them. If this article were rewritten in a similar format simply to list the sources, it might be worthwhile. But that would be a completely different article. You could try starting something like that at this temporary page. Voceditenore (talk) 10:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These are not the same as the current article, with the last three using a completely different definition of source. WP:Otherstuffexists is never a strong argument, but it is better to compare like with like. AIRcorn (talk) 23:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These replies attempt to show that differences between this article and Fakirbakir's examples, namely, this article's extensive commentary and sourced examples for each entry, are reasons why it is irrelevant to compare them. In fact tThose differences are testimony to this article's superiority to the examples Fakirbakir chose, under WP:PROSE. Anarchangel (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, the difference is (apart form the crusades one) that those articles are showing the origin of the different topics. For example, that the snow white film was derived from the Brothers Grimm story of the same name. This article is compiling literary references and quotes relating to the origin of the Romanians. Those are quite different topics. AIRcorn (talk) 22:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I totally agree (and I struck from my previous comment an unnecessarily argumentative phrase, accordingly). But is that difference really of the uppermost importance, when there is this elephant in the room labelled, "the similarity is that they are all lists of sources"? Anarchangel (talk) 03:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think nobody can explain me that why we have to delete substantial knowledge from Wikipedia.Fakirbakir (talk) 09:47, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Knowledge" which is the product of original research and synthesis is always to be deleted from Wikipedia. It's one of the Five Pillars and is non-negotiable.

• Keep Sure, copyvio. I get it. Stealing the words of Runestone G 134 and Anonymous, a Florentine author of the 14th century. But perhaps I am exaggerating. After all, there are some quotes from named people in the 12th and previous centuries, and even...well, no, actually no authors of any centuries after the 14th. But lots of quotes.

Which leads me to what I believe is the misapprehension here. Copyvio is any single instance of substantial copying of a single work. Not tiny snippets from lots of works, each one of which is not a copyvio. Especially when they are hundreds of years old and therefore eligible for public domain legislation.

Another courtesy link to the pre-blanked page. Anarchangel (talk) 02:00, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Voc has not responded to argument that I contend refutes his central premise, so I will elaborate up here. Every single quote in the article is from sources written before the year 1400, and thus falls under WP:PD by at least 523 years, according to US law (WP servers being in the US). Scholars have written their informed opinion about all manner of aspects of these quotes, I am sure, and they should quite rightly receive the benefits of their expertise. But those are not in the article; the scholars did not actually write the quoted material, and copyright law does not affect WP using those quotes anymore than it does the scholars using them. Anarchangel (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright issue is entirely separate from the discussion here as to whether this is a viable article at all, regardless of copyright violations. Please see Talk:Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians#Copyright problems. If the copyright problems in this article are not addressed in 7 days from the blanking of the article, it will be deleted, regardless of the decision here. It's not a question of the quotes, it's the verbatim copying of the commentary on those quotes from Curta (2006), Curta (2007), and Pohl (1998) which is pervasive and foundational to the article. You are welcome to rewrite a copyvio-free article at this temporary page. Incidentally, several of those quotes from ancient authors use modern (post-1923) translations which are indeed copyright. At most, a few of them can be used under Wikipedia's Non-free content criteria. But again, that is a separate issue from this deletion discussion. Voceditenore (talk) 05:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Note I would like to draw attention to both statements, that 'copyvio is not at issue here', (not a direct quote) and that "No one here is saying that the topic "origin of the Romanians" is not a legitimate topic" (direct quote). I contend that these are perhaps grounds for a Speedy Keep. If things do not improve, they are most certainly grounds for a No Consensus close. Arguments against these primary points of both the nominator and the sole Delete voter have thusly been avoided, leaving no grounds other than waffling for the nomination, and making it impossible to gain a consensus. Anarchangel (talk) 03:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. All versions of the article consist mostly of a collation of translated quotations from various historical sources. While the sources themselves are in the public domain, copyright still subsists in the translations, insofar as the translators have not been dead for 70 years, which is very unlikely because the citations are to works that appear to be of relatively recent date. This amount of quotation clearly exceeds what is permissible under fair use. The article is therefore a copyright violation and must be deleted. (If one were to just delete the quotations, the remainder would not make much sense and would be duplicative to Origin of the Romanians in scope).  Sandstein  06:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, the main copyvio problem with the article is the commentary, not the quotes themselves. Many of the quotes are from pre-1923 translations and therefore public domain, although certainly not all of them. However, virtually all of the commentary is verbatim from books in copyright. Because this copyvio is pervasive and foundational (i.e. no clean version to revert to), the article will be deleted, regardless of the outcome of this AfD, unless a clean version is written on a temp page. The AfD was brought as a separate issue, i.e. whether even a copyvio-free article like this is appropiate. Voceditenore (talk) 07:53, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The selection criteria for this list is subjective and not encyclopedic. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of historically significant Michigan Wolverines football games for an analogous article that was deleted. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:44, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Criteria in selection of games for inclusion in this list is subjective and probably violates the Wikipedia prohibition against original research per WP:OR. Furthermore, regular season college football games are not inherently notable, and must satisfy the specific notability guidelines of WP:SPORTSEVENT, WP:EVENT or WP:GNG. In all events, a subjective "highlights" game list such as this is contrary to the established policy of WikiProject College football, whereby regular season CFB games are collected into season articles or season decade articles. While CFB bowl games and other CFB championships games are presumed to be notable, individual regular season games are not. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 05:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I don't really see it as original research - the material has external sources. However, the page is primarily a compilation of information from this list and this other list. As of now, the decisions as to which games were included appear to be subjective.

• However, if the list had categories based on some objective standard (e.g. highest attendance, games that clinched a conference championship, most viewers on television, etc.) then it would be more appropriate. But even with that, I'm not convinced a list of "significant WVU football games" is any more appropriate as a Wikipedia article than a similar list for Nevada, or North Texas, or Appalachian State (which is to say it isn't appropriate). Therefore I recommend the article be deleted.
• I think what would make more sense would be to include a "top five" list of games based on objective categories (such as the ones I mentioned above) on the West Virginia Mountaineers football page. Perhaps if desired, the two external links that are the primary sources could also be included (although the links to the home pages for those sites are already on that WVU football page). I also agree with Dirtlawyer1's suggestion about transferring info to the individual season pages for WVU football. Mdak06 (talk) 14:27, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These meet the Wikipedia definition of reliable sources, are these sufficient? LWilkins93"
• Note to closer In reference to the five users that have posted above, I have since their posts addressed each issue raised and made the necessary and requested additions and/or deletions. In addressing the three cited reasons for deletion, each has been addressed as follows:

1. Peacock Wording and meandering personal/ corporate promotion-eliminated.

2. Notability-According to Wikipedia, a page "is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." This page references industry regional sources in Seasons Magazine and St. Louis at Home Magazine, internationally recognized online sources in The New York Social Diary, and the Museum industry in The Studios of Key West.

3. Reliable Sources-Wikipedia suggests that secondary sources be listed as "editorial control"-please see the secondary sources listed above. I have not heard back since the initial posts on 10 July 2012. Will this discussion be closed and the page be allowed?

• Strong Keep Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabric is important in the history of 20th century fashion in the United States. The artists working with Thatchers' Fine Timeless fabric created an entirely new genre of textile design for fashion: The Lilly Pulitzer Brand. There are over 400,000 Lilly Pulitzer fans on Facebook alone, each fan touched by the designs of Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabric's artists. They are taking their iconic designs into the arena of home textiles. --Lwilkins93 (talk) 19:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• To be fair most of the peacock terms have now been removed, and Lilly Pulitzer is notable, but notability can't be inherited. There are very few reliable independent sources that provide any coverage of Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabric. Maybe the company will be important one day, but at the moment it doesn't seem to be notable. CodeTheorist (talk) 23:42, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Thank you for noticing my changes. In regards to notability, the artists created the look that is Lilly Pulitzer. The Lilly Pulitzer brand promoted its artwork in order to gain notability. These artists are taking what made the Lilly Pulitzer brand notable-their own work: the designs-and transferring it to the home textiles under "Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabric. (Lwilkins93 (talk) 13:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]

• Notable Sources The sources used on the Thatchers’ Fine Timeless Fabric page are much more substantial that the examples of “trivial coverage” given for the “Depth of Coverage” portion of the Wikipedia’s “Primary Criteria” for notability of businesses and companies. (Lwilkins93 (talk) 13:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]
• Delete - with regret I have to agree with the other editors. There are some reliable magazine articles cited, but they are generally 'specialist' and 'local' publications, so would not meet the notability requirements for companies. In addition, the magazine sources spend far more time talking about Becky Smith, only mentioning Thatchers Fine Timeless Fabric at the very end. We need to see more than brief mentions to prove notability. In my view, an article about Becky Smith would stand far more chance of success (in addition the notability requirements for people are slightly less onerous). Sionk (talk) 13:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• While I am delighted that you agree that the cited sources are RELIABLE, I am confused as to your reasons why they do not meet WIKI's notability requriements for companies."The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." WIKI. Pursaunt to Wiki standards, the sources cited indeed meet the exact specifications as outlined above. Thatchers' inception was in, and is currently based in, Saint Louis. Articles written by reliable, secondary sources, most certainly first came from this geographical area. GO Design Go, a NEW YORK based, online secondary source was added as Thatchers' gained a hold in thIS new geographical area. NYSD, a fourth secondary source, is an INTERNATIONAL online SECONDARY source, added thereafter as Thatchers' became a presence internationally. Further, WIKI's Primary Criteria on Notability is open, it does specifically state: "A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." I have listed not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE secondary sources.

Further, the purpose of including Thatchers' is because the components which make up Thatchers', notably the art in the textile designs, corraborates with that which is also specifically outlined in WIKI's section on Notability: hence, "When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." The art which is Thatchers', has, and continues to have, an important and impactful part in the United States textile design history.

Furthermore, while it is true that Becky Smith created this company, the artists ARE the company. A company aches through it's human components. The Thatchers" company, as well as all companies, are merely actions of those who act on it's behalf. The company name is merely what identifies a collaborative effort of those within the company. All articles topics are titled, or refer to the company, "Thatchers' Fine Timeless Fabric". In creating the page on the company, the history is revealed through the actions of those who created it.(Lwilkins93 (talk) 22:51, 15 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Bear in mind 'Go Design Go' is a website for a Design Centre, so not a reliable journalistic source. To be honest, I have my doubts about the other magazine sources because they each repeat the same meandering, confusing story about a chair, a grandmother, a French Mill, Lilly Pulitzer, without really explaining the connections with great certainty. Thatchers Fine Timeless fabric seems to be the commercial face of Becky Smith, who (inspired by her grandmother) arranges the design, production and distribution of fabric (designed by Pulitzer designers) and upholstered chairs. I think that's all that can be safely gleaned from the sources, in my opinion (I can't even see anything that says it was set up in 2007). Everything else is tangential. If the artists are employees of the company then you would need to provide proof to justify their biographies making up a third of your article. If Thatchers has had a major impact on fabric design, you will need to cite that statement to a reliable source. Sionk (talk) 03:59, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Note to closer Thank you for your suggestions. Revisions have been made pursuant to your suggestions. Go Design Go is an online trade magazine, reporting within the industry, relevant news. Seasons Magazine, Saint Louis AT HOME Magazine, NYSD are all notable secondary sources within WIKI standards.For those individuals who are not within the textile industry, Brunschwig et Fils is one of the oldest most prestigious brands and being a part of that substantiates credibility and importance. I am happy to make any changes to comply with suggestions. (Lwilkins93 (talk) 04:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]

• Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all.

Fails WP:NOTE and WP:V completely. A glance over Google books does not provide any indication that WP:NOTE could be met (just discussions about movies that he did the soundtrack for, only mentioning him in passing). Ian.thomson (talk) 03:22, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'm confused about this nomination, as the nominator acknowledges that most of the article is verifiable on Google books. These credits are probably sufficient to pass WP:CREATIVE. Given that the subject died in 1987 and that his work was in India it's not surprising that there's little on-line information about his life. I submit that any songwriter who had composed music for at least 22 Hollywood movies would be considered notable. Pburka (talk) 03:39, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not read the part where I said that the few mentions are only in passing, and thus fail WP:NOTE? And do did sources causing the article to meet WP:V appear in the article before I nominated it?

Here's his biography at a major Indian radio station: http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicopedia/music_lyricists.php?conid=1164 Also keep in mind, as I noted above, that the subject died in 1987.

• Keep A lyricist with a long history of contibutions to Indian cinema. We protect such if verifiable. In our understanding that pre-1990s Indian sources are not well represented on the internet, just as are not pre-1990s Indian films, we do not insist that someone whose death predates the existance of internet itself would have continued coverage online. Worth noting also, is that even after his 1987 death, his works continue to be used in film. Enough of a legacy for him to be included here. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:27, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I share the confusion about the nomination, especially by someone who confesses to know a very limited amount about Hindi cinema. A correction to the original note, S. H. Bihari did not "do the soundtrack for" anything. He was a song-writer/poet, not a composer. His songs and the movies they were part of, were widely watched in India, South-East Asia and across the Middle-East. He collaborated with the major composers, singers and musicians of his generation in India and the words to his songs are remembered by millions. Purely as an example, a much stronger case could be made for the non-notability and limited reach of an artist like Jonathan Larson, whose single Broadway musical was not as widely distributed as the movies and songs of Bihari (and is arguably a derivative work). The difference in assumed notability is that Bihari wrote in a poorer country, in an era before the Internet, and in a language unfamiliar to the contributor. Indian newspapers of his generation were about a tenth the size of American papers and books had very limited runs as newsprint and pulp were prohibitively expensive in the India of his time. You will find very limited references to even more significant song-writers who died prior to the eighties. In addition, literacy rates below 50% meant culture was largely oral, and songs in movies had even more significance. You would have to go back to the 19th century, or the deep south and Appalachia to find a time and place in the US where songs were as important. Of course, you will find more sources in Google Books for those eras because competent folk-art studies have been completed and wonderful surveys were done as part of the WPA. I will try to scan a copy of his obituary which was published in the Times of India. This deletion request should not have been raised by a contributor who is unfamiliar with the area and the subject. §§SubirGrewal —Preceding undated comment added 01:32, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/Redirect Redundant with Demographics of Filipino Americans, and could be merged even if it was better sourced.

• Soft Keep - I voted to merge/delete on the other Barbie related stubs up for nomination, but this is one I could see keeping. The first reason being that they were introduced back in the mid 1960s as part of the "vintage" Barbie line and have subsequently become highly valuable collector's items (as well as all of their associated friends/clothing/accessories), much like the vintage Barbie, Ken, Midge, etc, dolls of the same era. The second reason being that the Stacie and Todd twins which were reintroduced in the 1990s are commonly thought to be the same set of twins (with "Tutti" thought to be simply renamed to "Stacie"). Todd appears to have been used as recently as 2008 and Stacie appears to be a current doll (which means their chronology has spanned over more than 40 years), so I would suggest that the "Stacie" article could be merged with this one, and the history of Tutti & Todd/Stacie & Todd could be explained on this page with "Stacie" redirecting here. I admit this article is relatively "stubby" as of now, but I know I have at least one book specifically about vintage Skipper, Tutti and Todd dolls (not just Barbie books that mention them in passing) that I could try and dig up to work on this page and once we've added the Stacie & Todd chronology, I believe this page could have some merits to keep as its own stand-alone article. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 04:49, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• These names do seem to have a bit more history, but again, I'm not seeing here that there's substantially more information or awareness of these dolls than of others in the F&F list. Most of what's in this article is repeated in the list article, and adding what's omitted wouldn't overly expand the latter. Indeed, the list is better in one aspect: it's much clearer about the existence of two distinct Todds. Mangoe (talk) 12:33, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Social group that received some passing news coverage, none of it apparently in any depth. A Google News search turns up nothing current on the group; a search of the Google News archives turns up three short pieces from September 2005: six short paragraphs in v3.co.uk, six short Spanish-language paragraphs at La Flecha (filed under "Curiosidades"), and four paragraphs at the Register, which describe the group as a "pointless bit of fun". Following indications in the article, I found a seven-sentence article in the Sun, September 2007. The article indicates that there was coverage in the Guardian as well; however, a search of their website, whose archives go back at least through 2005, turned up nothing. From the small number and brevity of the articles, I'd say that the subject fails the depth-of-coverage test at WP:ORG, and fails WP:GNG generally. Ammodramus (talk) 02:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is literally something somebody thought up one afternoon, and insignificant coverage from reliable sources gives the subject the barest standing under GNG and exactly no standing under WP:ORG. A google search for the date range 10/1/2007 and today brings up a total of seven hits. Nothing to keep. BusterD (talk) 13:56, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete both- both articles are about footballers who haven't played in a fully professional league, or represented their country at senior level, which means that they fail WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:26, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
