Michael Pearson (Canadian diplomat)[edit]

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

Government bureaucrat; does not meet the notability criteria of WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG. Search of Google and Google News did not find any significant coverage. Unreferenced since 2008. MelanieN (talk) 23:00, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I didn't want to prod this article because it does appear to imply notability. Also, the article has been here a long time and has been edited by several different people. However, I do believe he fails the notability test. The only thing I found on a Google News search was this passing mention. --MelanieN (talk) 23:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although he is a member of an important political family as his grandfather won the Nobel Peace Prize and later became Prime Minister of Canada, notability is not inherited and this person is simply a competent but non-notable civil servant. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:54, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The only "reference" being cited here is a dead link to an article written by, not about, him — thus, there is not sufficient sourcing here to pass either WP:BLP or WP:GNG. While it's certainly possible that he might be notable enough for a properly written article, as a living person he's not entitled to keep an unreferenced one, and there's no role that's so notable that the need to have articles about its holders overrides Wikipedia's rules about proper referencing. I'm certainly willing to reconsider this if the article actually sees improvement before closure, but in its current form it's an obvious delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:23, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't even find a mention of him at the website of the agency where he works, Fisheries and Oceans Canada - where I was hoping to find at least verification if not notability. The only verification I could find that he even works there is the article I cited above, where he is quoted as being "of" that agency. --MelanieN (talk) 20:08, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This individual may be notable but we require WP:V. I did my best to locate _any_ source that mentioned this individual, but was unable to find anything. I tried both Google and the website of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. -- Sailing to Byzantium _(msg), 18:11, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a non-notable segment of VeggieTales.

Keep This is a highly popular segment. We do have some in-depth mention of it in this book and a number of news articles focusing on the segment. Given that the show began in the 90's, it is not surprising that online sources would be harder to come by, but they are there and do support having an independent article.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 20:39, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested by DGG (talk · contribs). 'Winter 2013' refers to transfers made in December 2013/January 2014 i.e. the future. There is therefore no meaningful content to be had yet and so this fails WP:CRYSTAL. Giant Snowman 09:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The one name listed is wrong, too and should be in the summer 2013 part. SOXROX (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The 2013 winter transfer window in France was open between 1 January 2013 and 31 January 2013 (if in synch with the rest of Europe), that means that this is a list about something that has happened and means that WP:CRYSTAL can't be used as a rationale to delete the page. You should also check out List of French football transfers winter 2012. Yes, the list is incomplete and something should be done about it, but being a stub or a incomplete list is not a reason to delete, as this is a notable topic.

- Would make perfect sense if we were discussing the winter 2014 window, but last time I checked the 2013 January transfer window closed some months ago. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wow, I should really be paying more attention. Since we're talking about a past transfer window, then obviously this should be kept and properly populated. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - regardless of whether we are talking about December 2012/January 2013 or December 2013/January 2014, I think we can all agree that May 2012 is not "winter 2013" - and as that is the only entry, the list serves zero purpose in its current state.

List of French football transfers winter 2013 is clearly supposed to detail the list of transfers between end of dec 2012 and end of jan 2013.

Comment: I wanted to note as the article creator, that I decided to create this article based on its appearance very high in WP:TOPRED, which among other things, has helped to identify areas of bias in wikipedia coverage. In the area of popular young black rap artists, we have been falling short, certainly as compared to sketchy indie bands from Brooklyn with low record sales but coverage in sites like Pitchfork. Of course I also determined that the subject appeared to also be notable before creating the article.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:49, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find any evidence of her meeting WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO or even WP:GNG. All of her roles were either minor, supporting ones or one-episode guest appearances, she did not win or was nominated for any awards even though the shows she appeared in were nor contributed to the entertainment industry in any way, and has no Facebook, Twitter, or official website showing any fan base.

Delete Yes, she was mayor in 2010, and of a fairly good sized city - but the mayor is not elected there, they are merely one of the city councilmembers elected to serve as mayor by the other councilmembers (who in those situations often rotate the office around among themselves so that they all get to be "mayor") - so her notability remains that of a city councilmember IMO. And for a city of that size, there is remarkably little to be found in sources about her. Fails WP:GNG and of course fails WP:POLITICIAN as well. --MelanieN (talk) 02:53, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Is Moreno Valley, California a city of regional significance? It is the second largest city in Riverside County. It has a population larger than some of the cities where the result is 'keep.'

Madame Blueberry[edit]

This article is about a Veggietales episode, released 15 years ago, that is pretty much non-notable like most of the other Veggietales shorts. All this article is is just an overly detailed plot summary, and a list of segments and songs in the episode. Thats it. There is nothing else in this article that shows this is a notable topic to be included on an encyclopedia like Wikipedia, and I wasn't able to find such thing. I'm also considering nominating the other episode articles for deletion, but I'll see after this review on what I will do with them. But as of now, this fails WP:NF.

Keep Following EditorE's logic, a majority of all movie/television show pages would deleted. There is a page of just about every single video (which thus makes every page "notable") and although some (most?) are missing sufficient citations and tend to attract IP editors who are constantly adding in OR nonsense and trivial detail, this is hardly grounds for deletion and the page's failure to completely meet WP:NF appears to be simply his opinion - "sufficient" citations is only one part of Notability.

Non-notable DJ and bar owner; googling for "chris kelly" is difficult as he shares his name with a rapper; '"chris kelly" londoner' (with the name of his bar attached) turns up absolutely nothing.

Weak keep. I believe spouses of heads of state should be presumed notable, but I have only been able to find 2 essentially identical obituaries, information from which I've added to the article.

Keep First ladies of countries are notable, period. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 19:19, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Whilst I would not go so far as to say that the spouse of a head of state is automatically notable, it would be unusual for them not to be. The wife of a three term president in a small country is bound to become well known there and there is sufficient even in the references currently provided to confirm that. Obituaries and tributes will indicate if the person took little part in public life, whilst she is described as being widely liked and respected, a clear indication of notability for this purpose. There are other hints of notability from a Google search, but the Icelandic newspapers during her husband's period in office look as though they are probably not available online, and if so Google is going to give a poor indication of notability. Her lack of coverage in English language sources is irrelevant. --AJHingston (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sparklism - plenty of sources exist to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Metacritic lists several write-ups about the subject and his works. Gong show 14:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The IP address who keeps removing the speedy deletion template is actually banned user User:Cvlwr (see the sock case for ample evidence that these addresses are logged-out edits from him). That would normally make one suspicious, but almost as disruptive is the fact that this article has been nominated for speedy deletion five or six times by many different veteran editors who apparently aren't doing their homework.

I haven't checked out notability, but must point out that the feeding frenzy displayed by several editors who kept reinstating the speedy deletion tag after it had been validly contested is shocking.

Comment - The article seems like a good faith effort by a user interested in Cascadian bioregionalism. There are reliable sources discussing this topic, but the specific term "bioregional decolonization" seems to be a new term coming out of the Cascadia movement. An article titled "Decolonization and bioregionalism" might be more appropriate, although "bioregional decolonization" does not seem like an egregiously weird way to combine these words. This material could also live at a section within the Bioregionalism article. groupuscule (talk) 03:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. In many ways, this is a model AFD, with the participants giving a thoughtful consideration of the merits of the topic and the article. In answer to 208.81.184.4, IPs get to participate and "vote" (except that we are not really supposed to be voting in AFDs at all), and thoughtful comments such as what you provided are always considered.

After considering the opinions here, the situation is that the subject may be notable, but that the article currently relies far too much on quotations from religious text, and with a lack of sources based on independent commentary. In general, we do not delete articles on notable subjects just because the article is in poor condition, as these types of problems may be fixed through routine editing. However, the issue of lack of independent sourcing that Descartes1979 brought up, and the concerns over original research that Good Ol'factory had are issues that an article can be deleted over. Peterkingiron and 208.81.184.4 think there is potential for an article, but have agreed that the article as it stands now has issues. DavidLeighEllis argued that the subject is notable, but did not address the issues with the article as it stands now.

In total, I believe that while there is no general agreement on whether the topic is suitable, we do have a rough consensus that the current article should not stay, and I am therefore calling this with a "delete" outcome. This should not be viewed as a prohibition on an new article on the topic that addresses the issues that were brought up here.

Perfection (Latter Day Saints)[edit]

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

This article is an incredibly obscure topic in Mormon doctrine, about the interplay between faith, works, and grace etc. There is no independent research/commentary on the topic of any substance, so the article is doomed to always be heavily POV. The result is this article has been for the last several years mostly ignored by non-Mormon editors, and has turned into something that resembles a sunday school lesson in the Mormon church. I propose we delete this page altogether, and add a couple of sentences (all that is needed) to Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints‎ to summarize the concepts. (This is actually already covered somewhat in that other article). Descartes1979 (talk) 05:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree that this article is problematic; I think it's composed of a lot of original research. Ultimately, I think conceptually it is probably mostly redundant to Exaltation (Mormonism), which is the name given to the status that one attains upon achieving perfection. I would merge any content to that article that is not already there. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:27, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- This is a poorly presented article, sicne it consists mostly of quotes. I am not a LDS, and find the content difficult to judge. I doubt there are any non-LDS experts in LDS theology. It sounds to me like a topic on which we ought to have an article. Do we not have some LDS-WPans, which would be capable of turning this into a decent article? Peterkingiron (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There are a number of experts in LDS theology and history who are not LDS. Jan Shipps comes to mind—though she specialises in history, she also knows more about the details of theology than many members of the LDS faith. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I know that IP's don't get a !vote on deletions, but "perfection" is a far more common topic in discourses by General Authorities of the LDS Church, as well as in core LDS literature in the last 100 years, than say Kolob (which we have a very extensive article for). In fact it is one of the principle elements of the "Three-Fold Mission of the Church" (essentially the church's modern mission statement), which is "to proclaim the gospel, to perfect the Saints [i.e. the members of the church], and to redeem the dead." That being said, this is a terrible article in it's current state. Also, given that there are distinct parallels to doctrines of some denominations in mainstream Christianity, this topic is not frequently fought over by apologetic & polemic sources (unlike Kolob), nor is it covered much academically in Mormon studies, so there isn't that much written about it other than directly by church leaders and members themselves. It is such a broad topic that we really can't do any better job here than at Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints‎, since "Perfection" (i.e. perfecting the Saints) covers pretty much everything LDS Church members believe & do (for religious reasons) that is not directly related to Missionary & Temple work. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:04, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: IP editors actually have no restrictions in AfD discussions (WP:AFDFORMAT), and can nominate for AfD but need a registered user to finish the last two steps (WP:AFDHOW).

Jonathan Derbyshire[edit]

Non-notable. No indication why he's notable – this could describe any journalist/writer who's been in journalism for a while. Now everyone even the most humble blogger has their own web site and biographies on sites they write for; this does not make them notable. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 17:42, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article has an impressive-looking list of references. However, these "references " mainly excel in obfuscation: all that is given is the name of the source, not the title, not the author, nothing else. If one actually makes the effort to go look at them, you will see, for example, that the New Statesman never wrote anythnig about Derbyshire, but just posted a list of articles that he published. Publishing is what journalists do, it doesn't make them notable. Given the absence of reliable sources about this person, this misses WP:NBIO and WP:GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 18:16, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it can also be a kind of cancer stem cell, see this NY Times article, or just research it online. See also WP:BITE and take off your blinders. Bearian (talk) 16:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this really a commonly-used term? The word "sleeper" doesn't appear anywhere in the stem cell or cancer stem cell articles, nor in the body of the NYT Magazine article you linked. It looks like the author chose to use wordplay in order to have a catchier title. It doesn't seem likely that people would go to the Wikipedia article for "sleeper cell" solely based on that.

Furthermore, in regard to your last sentence, what are you talking about? What newcomers are being bitten, and by whom? And who's wearing blinders? Nick Number (talk) 01:01, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian is an admin who has been an editor for over 7 years. Bearian (talk) 12:00, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant to say is that (a) there are many possible sources online (see the links for Google news and scholar above) that describe more than one meaning for "sleeper cell", (b) some newbies have worked on this article, and it would be nice to them to keep their work unless it harms Wikipedia, and (c) think outside the box - the English language can have many meanings for a word or phrase - that is why we have "dab" (disambiguation) pages. However, it's just a dab page, so don't get stressed out or insulted about whether it's deleted or not. Bearian (talk) 13:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found no significant coverage. Fails WP:PROF. SL93 (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly object to this proposed deletion. As someone who has created several pages and introduced many students to Wikipedia, I feel this page falls well within Wikipedia's guidelines for several reasons:

- Cawelti's work as a journalist and columnist is ongoing. He remains a contributing columnist to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. He is a public intellectual with an important regional presence.

- Brother's Blood is the definitive work to date on a significant murder case, an "infamous murder case" according to Chicago Tribune (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2005-04-11/news/0504110183_1_crime-scene-bullets-evidence), subject of a recent television documentary/docudrama (http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/docudrama-recounts-mark-murders/article_e5c300cb-2052-564d-844d-1cf2ccd222ad.html), and developments in the case have been followed by newspapers including the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/10/news/adna-iowa10).

- Brother's Blood currently ranks #434,923 among Amazon.com sellers, which may not sound like much until you consider how many books are on Amazon.com. For example, Andrew Lih's The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia is ranked #548,102. It goes without saying that Andrew Lih has a Wikipedia page devoted to him.

Neutral to Weak Delete -- the evidence is mixed. Brother's Blood does not come close to the standard of notability; held in only 43 libraries, nearly all of which are public libraries in Iowa. The significance of the murder does not convey notability on the book. (And ranking 400,000 on Amazon is still far along the long tail; it says that it has sold some copies, but not many; generally under a few hundred, if my own experience editing a NN book that reached 180,000 on Amazon is an indication). On the other hand, The Complete Poetry of James Hearst is certainly a notable book, held in nearly 200 libraries, including all of the most important research libraries. The question is, is that enough to convey notability not on the poet (which it definitely does) but on the editor? For a translator the answer would definitely be yes. For an editor of a selected works edition, possibly. But for a recently deceased university professor, I'm not sure that editing (while a lot of work and requiring creativity) conveys that level of notability; the editor would have to be specifically singled out for praise in a review, but an (admittedly quick) search does not turn up that. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 21:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Amityville Horror. If there was an article that listed all of the characters in the Amityville series, I'd recommend redirecting to List of The Amityville Horror characters, but no such article exists. If anyone wants to create it, I'm all for it. The Amityville narrative has a pretty wide cast of players, both supposedly real (as in the case with Ketcham) or outright false (as in the case of the umpteen film sequels), so it'd be a reasonable article to create. Whether this person actually existed or was created over a few bottles of wine is sort of a moot point. So is whether or not this is a hoax. (I say that mostly because putting emphasis on "hoax" makes this feel a little WP:POINT-y.) What we need is coverage and I just can't find enough to suggest that Ketcham is suitably notable enough outside of the Amityville case to really need his own article at this point in time.

Galbatron[edit]

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

I had previously deleted this as a speedy due to copyright violations of their website. At the time I also noticed that the page had serious, SERIOUS issues with tone. They make claims, but didn't back them up with reliable sources (WP:RS), instead telling the user to "google the band". I did a google search, but didn't find anything that actually backed up any of the claims. I recently got a post on my page saying that this article predated the current website (unknown if this text appeared on the original, older website), but the user claimed that the band took this content from the article here. (But also claimed that Wikipedia has full permissions to use the content, which sort of conflicts with the idea that this was all posted on Wikipedia first.) I honestly don't see where this passes notability guidelines, but assuming good faith I've restored this so it can be discussed at AfD. The only two claims on the article that look like they would be of any true notability is the review (which I can't locate anywhere) and the claim that their music is housed in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. If it is housed there as a main exhibit, then that would help give notability. However I cannot find any mention of the band in the museum's website and again, a search brings up absolutely nothing that I could use towards notability. The claims of selling well on MP3.com don't really mean for much, as that's not the type of charting that would count towards notability on Wikipedia. Selling well doesn't guarantee notability, it just means that coverage might be easier to find.

They are clearly and independently using the software and are not affiliated with the corporation nor do they receive any compensation. I build websites for companies and they request Vanilla forums, when asked where they learned about it, they refer to this article. I believe this article should stay it is of benefit to everyone.

Keep, but edit:

Notability: Google search "powered by vanilla" (with quotes) for partial link count from forums managed by Vanilla worldwide. Search "top open-source forums" or extensive independent recognition as a significant player. Did everyone do these searches before voting to delete?
Writing: Poor, some self-promotional. Edit. Add the independent citations. "Delete and make them rewrite from scratch" is lazy policy, easy for us but destructive to Wikipedia. Prune instead of forcing people to grow a whole new tree.
Content value: This article (history, mostly) answered longstanding questions I had about Vanilla.

User reviews on Amazon are user generated content and not reliable sources, and a listing at Amazon does not establish notability as Amazon is not exclusionary. The other sources are just press releases and promotional fluff. None of the criteria of WP:BKCRIT are met. Book is self published, which indicates, but does not establish, non-notability.

Mottainai[edit]

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

Clear WP:NAD violation. Mottainai is just a word. The etymology given is kind of interesting, even if note 3 has next to nothing to do with the subject. But I could write an article an any Japanese word and discuss the etymology in the same way. That would be an even worse violation of WP:NAD, though. I almost think this article is meant to be about the possibly-notable "Mottainai Campaign" whose homepage the article links to, but if so the article needs to be moved and completely rewritten, in which case we can just delete this dictionary entry for now anyway.

You may have misunderstood me. I referred to WP:HASREFS because in my opinion the article's topic is not mainly about a word but about a concept, and this concept meets the notability threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia. I have expanded the article to highlight that the topic is a tradition, a cultural practice and a concept. More references are available to show this. I will try to expand the article further.

possible Delete methinks... This may be an article with good intentions but misplaced aspirations. Unfortunately for Edcolins, no matter what you wanted to write about (I'm sorry, I haven't checked: your article?), the fact of the matter seems to be that the most notable aspect of what you wrote about is in fact that it's being adapted publicly as some sort of "campaign" to some extent, and most (all?) of the references seem to point to that more than anything. But this is set apart from a so-called cultural aspect as Kawaii culture in Japan, for example - an article which may be relevant here to give some context. I'm not praising the "Kawaii" article - thats an article full of fluff in need of sheering - but there's some precedence which may be useful here, though I'm not sure to which end. If it's that kind of cultural ideology you were aspiring to educate about, the references provided don't support the subject, or at least don't carry enough weight. It may be too much to call it a cultural "practice", giving undue weight to the subject; should there also be an article for "Gambatte!" or "Yasashii" or any other of the multitudinous polite auto-responses which Japanese people have for any given situation?? Regardless, even as a "campaign" I'm sorry but I also don't yet see notability; one person co-opting a common Japanese word does-not-a-campaign-make, and in that case the article may seem built to support/further the cause, which I'm sure violates any number of wiki guidelines. I haven't thoroughly gone over every last detail but this is my opinion based on initial review. Japanglish (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your opinion. First, this is not my article and no article is mine (WP:OWN). I only came here to improve the article, because I believe the topic is notable as a concept, not just as a word. Secondly, please look at the references provided in the article (see for example: (NPR, 2013), (Los Tiempos, 2009), (The Japan Times, 2013), (MacQuillan, 1998), (Sasaki, 2005), (Saint Paul Pioneer Press, 2005), (Look Japan, 2002), (Iwatsuki, 2008)). The topic is not only notable because Wangari Maathai used the concept in a "campaign", as you seem to suggest, but the fact that she used it certainly does not make the concept less notable. The concept has received significant coverage in reliable sources and therefore meets Wikipedia:Notability. Thirdly, you think that "It may be too much to call it a cultural "practice"". Well, that's your opinion. The Spanish-language reference (Los Tiempos, 2009) explicitly uses that term "práctica cultural" (English: cultural practice).

Ten Year Vamp[edit]

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

Completing nomination on behalf of an IP editor 71.167.9.50, who offered no rationale. On the merits, I see an article about a band that offers only its facebook pages and website as links, no references, and promotional language throughout. My searches show no obvious notability. Usual Caveats may apply, of course, as an article may be appropriate when the band hits the charts, but there is no evidence provided or available that shows this to have happened. So, I recommend Delete as per WP:NBAND and WP:GNG. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:39, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. They are not a bad band, but as far as I know, they strictly local to Upstate New York. True, they have opened for major bands at concerts in the Albany, New York area, but they aren't even as well-known as, say, Sirsy is, or Thomas Winslow or Blotto was. I'd have to do some research to see if they really have toured nationally; as far as I am aware now, no. Bearian (talk) 17:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- KeePass and LastPass are regularly recommended (equally) by articles published by Sophos (eg Naked Security postings), advocating improved password security by all of us. The LastPass article does not appear to be under threat. This article deserves the chance to be as well-supported by references and must be given the time for them to be found. (Sorry, this is a drive-by comment: I'm not a current user of either package, but a potential user seeking information.

Keep - This is an article about a piece of software. Maybe in a perfect world an encyclopedia isn't the best place for a piece of software, or if a piece of software is so significant that it deserves any entry it should be a simple description without making any interesting claims about the software. But Wikipedia isn't really just an encyclopedia, because this isn't a perfect world and there isn't an equally popular Wiki that can get you the kind of information you want about products. If you see something that isn't true, delete it, but the idea that an article about a piece of software needs to be as well cited as an article appropriate for a normal encyclopedia.

Keep - Keepass is a significant piece of open software which is at the heart of many derivative software, that is it incorporating pieces of technology that other wikipedia articles will reference. I just linked to Keepass from another article on wikipedia called TAN which is a onetime password key generator that Keypass supports. By linking to to Keypass it makes the technologies accessible and practical to implement because it is free. The nominator for deletion fails to recognize the black and white logarithm that the nomination is working under. I can't understand how a keyword like keepass which has almost 600000 search results on googles is not significant. Hence my belief that it should be retained --Joewski (talk) 11:33, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Keepass/x and derivatives are part of tools frequently recommended by security experts and used by security conscious people (it would be surprising if they didn't have a userbase numbering in the millions, if not tens of millions). You can find articles on the software on any tech site/journal. Here are some of them.

The result was delete. I have noticed that several have argued for merging the article to English words without vowels. I am declining to do this for the objective reason that some others provided: namely that the words on the list contain the letter "Y" being used as a vowel, and therefore cannot belong on a list of words without vowels.

As Cruxdestruct wrote in a proposal for deletion, the inclusion criteria for the list of words appear arbitrary. The article does explain that "y" and (especially in Welsh loanwords) "w" can represent vowel sounds, but that information is also in Vowel#Written_vowels and the list of words isn't necessary to illustrate the point. This strikes me as trivia rather than an encyclopedic topic. —rybec 03:12, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - I believe this list was WP:Split out of English words without vowels for reasons of length? If the list is complete and exhaustive, then it provides important information for that article, and should be kept or re-merged, and improved, similar to the Featured List of English words containing Q not followed by U.

Delete, and don't merge. This is far too trivial even for the parent article (which is already bad enough without it). This is essentially a "list of words whose only vowel letter is <y>, plus a list of random loanwords from Welsh", and hence a breach of WP:INDISCRIMINATE, no matter whether it's in a standalone article or in the parent article. Words spelled only with <y> are no more special and no more noteworthy than words spelled only with <e> or only with <u>; the whole premise of this page, that <y> is special in this role because it's "not really a vowel", is an absurd amateurish misunderstanding made by people who can't tell apart the logical levels of orthography and phonology. The whole perspective of both pages is simply wrong. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque Let's see, Iowa joined the union on December 28, 1846; and this church was allegedly founded in 1857. The article claims they have 2000 families, which assuming 3.5 members per family, that would be 7000 members. Sounds like the makings for a wp:notable church. But this article has zero references, so for starters it fails WP:V. Then there is WP:NOT. This article does not present the church as being an organization that has attracted the attention of the world at large, rather the article is a work of outreach, which Wikipedia calls WP:Promotion or spam. In this article we learn that the church will have (future tense) a Valentine's dance in February 2007, which runs afoul of both WP:IINFO and WP:CRYSTAL. Then there is unsourced information about a living person, which is a WP:BLP problem. I suggest adding a brief section to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque that focuses on history, and in doing so, only add information found in reliable sources, then use inline citations to reference those reliable sources.

There are articles about this from many sources, e.g. http://asiancorrespondent.com/96293/disgruntled-hong-kong-embraces-union-jack-as-symbol-of-freedom/ , http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1074458/hong-kong-chief-executive-urges-people-not-wave-colonial-flag?page=all , so perhaps this issue deserves an article? 114.252.69.114 (talk) 18:29, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Selsky[edit]

Self-promotion by User:אלכס סלסקי (which is Hebrew for Alex Selsky). The person described lacks notability, as the person served as an ordinary media-advisor, while the recently established "World Forum of Russian Jewry" lacks clear notability itself (one of quite numerous number of such organizations), and the notability of its administrative staff is far from sufficient. The article has been deleted for the lack of notability in Hebrew Wikipedia, and moved for deletion in Russian Wikipedia. Prokurator11 (talk) 05:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Prokurator. it's extremely sad to see that an Israeli, apperantely born in FSU, is the one who argues to arase the page of a one, who devoted all his career to contribute to absorption of Jewish repatriants from former Soviet Union. The World Forum of Russian Speaking Jewry was established to help the russian speaking Jews worldwide and to accomarate the memory of the Holocoust, and you are the one to say that this is not important to be noted. As for self PR - all my life I worked to promote the Jewish State and the Russian speaking Israelis. Never paid or lied. So I don't see that I did something not ethical to write a small note about my activity. Shabat shalom, dear friend.

Good luck with your activities. As for your self-promotion, as soon as your organization (or yourself) becomes notable, someone else will certainly write about it. -- Prokurator11 (talk) 10:28, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Saying "maybe keep" isn't an excuse for not doing a review of the sources. The sourcing in the article is terrible. The first item claims to be AllHipHop.com but actually goes to a blog where I can only find some video from an L. Burner. The rest are not reliable sources except for possibly Delaware Black which has news but also appears to be a site for promoting black Delaware businesses. And the link is dead so we cannot evaluate it. My own search found this article which calls him an "upcoming indie artist". An article is not justified at this time. No prejudice to recreation when he changes from upcoming to arrived as supported with significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 15:46, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Notability is not determined by the contents of an article at a given, but whether the notability of the article subject can be established (the exceptions are biographies of living people, for which lack of references mandates deletion). Do also note that non-English references are perfectly acceptable as sources. --Soman (talk) 15:36, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment - The rationale given by the nominator is the lack of references entirely with only a link to the self-published website. The unsourced article is totally unacceptable. STSC (talk) 02:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As shown by Soman, significant coverage exists when searching through Google Books. This alone shows that significant coverage exists in reliable sources to establish notability and that the article can be developed, and uses only the English language name for searches for an oprganisation in a country where the primary language is Chinese. That the current state of the article contains no sources simply means it is one of many imperfect articles which requires work to improve it. The solution to an unsourced article on a notable topic is to have references added. We cannot collaboratively edit an article to improve it when it is deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - did the nominator abide by WP:BEFORE, which is policy. While the article does not demonstrate notability, we judge the topic and not the article. As it is, apparently this guy was the mayor of a city that now has a population of 200k, and usually with cities that large, in the US, multiple runs for mayor during the internet age, means there is likely the sources out there to satisfy the GNG. All you have to do is look, and have to means mandatory. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In reply: I actually did look and found only trivial local coverage. Did you find anything to satisfy GNG? --MelanieN (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Using the link above for Google News shows 10 pages of coverage, and only looking at the first page shows 5 articles in which his name is in the headline. I'm not sure why local matters, but the main paper in the search results is the The San Bernardino Sun, which is the main paper for the county of a the same name, which has 2 million people, and also is a major paper in Riverside County, another county with 2 million people. As in not some small-town paper. Most articles are behind paywalls, but based on the blurbs available on Gnews and the sheer volume, I'd say he passes the GNG. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:42, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:POLITICIAN refers to "international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office", so being a mayor of a city with 200k population is not, in itself, enough. It's up to whether he meets WP:GNG or not. Bondegezou (talk) 12:19, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Four references have been added now though only one of the links works. The discussion may be closed now as it is not unreferenced any more though a major part of the article still lacks references. Milesandkilometrestogo (talk) 07:13, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article still fails basic WP:ANYBIO guidelines. No significant coverage, and more importantly, no reliable sources. —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 03:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find any coverage. A commenter in the first AfD said that an expert could likely show notability. This is a piece of software to rip copy protected films so the "experts" would be movie pirates. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 10:27, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Another editor in the previous AfD said that this software caused a media stir. That claim belongs to BackupHDDVD. SL93 (talk) 10:31, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - software article of unclear notability lacking RS references. Search reveals no significant coverage in reliable sources, though there are a few incidental mentions from 2007.Dialectric (talk) 14:42, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tobias Churton[edit]

Prod removed by article creator. Does not meet GNG or WP:AUTHOR. Sources cited may establish existence, but they do not establish notability. Ghits bring up sources that do not meet WP:RS - user-driven book review sites, personal webpage, Amazon, YouTube, etc. MSJapan (talk) 01:57, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yes, MSJapan's prod "no real sources for years" removed by article creator (me) after adding more sources and discussion with MSJapan. And here is the expected AfD. What a waste of time. I really don't like this kind of strong-arming to add sources. If someone sees a weak-sourced stub, and then checks in Google Books or Scholar and sees more sources - which MSJapan says to me he did - why not just add the sources oneself, at least that is why I do when I see such stubs. I'm not actually greatly interested in this author, my opinion of his pulpy 4-part Channel 4 TV drama-documentary series Gnostics (TV series) and book is much the same as Roger Lewis in the Daily Express review of the Aleister Crowley biography. But in this area - esoterics - we expect pulpy esoteric "scholarship" it's what the punters want. In any case he meets WP:AUTHOR, even if for being a pulpy populist scholar. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - because to me, one-line citations in other publications are not significant coverage, and those citations you have added are still incomplete ("Journal of RTesearch into Freemasonry and..." what?). You're not looking at the content of the sources, but existence - you're actually just pulling them direct from Google's citations (hence the [CITATION] tags at the front of your newest additions, and the piece of the quote that mentions Churton's name). That is not an indication of significance at all; there could be thirty other names in that paragraph on the same topic, especially if it is the research review portion of the paper, and it is therefore not supportive of notability criteria. MSJapan (talk) 02:39, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MSJapan, yes well I'm qualified to do that since I know something about the subject. In any case this scholar evidently meets WP:AUTHOR. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:52, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is wide popular interest in fringe esoterica (Umberto Eco has deconstructed the field definitively). There are some significant cites in Google scholar for this LP and WP:AUTHOR is met. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep -- per In ictu oculi and Xxanthippe (bonus points for Eco citation) -- the article and its notability can be verified even if the claims are bogus. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 22:18, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
