The verifiability is very low: most sources link to unrelated articles and/or are unreliable. Looks very much like it’s a fake. - Хтосьці (talk) 09:41, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 00:22, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed comment on each source[edit]

Let me comment on source one-by-one:

  1. In the first source, Selena Du is listed among the top three in ATV Miss Asia Pageant. This was added recently, and it looks reliable.
  2. data.ent.sina.com.cn/star/24469.html Placed as is to support "Du highly values charity causes and engage herself in public social activities", but the article linked is very terse on such activity: 热衷于公益活动 (interested in public benefit). However, the linked article does mention some facts: position of UN Goodwill Ambassador (个人简介:联合国慈善大使), visiting many countries (个人简介:曾访问过世界20多个国家), Russian background (民族: 俄罗斯族), fact that she is an actress, singer, TV host and model (职业:演员 歌手 主持人 模特). I’m not sure about the reliability of the source though, because the site is user-editable (link «我要编辑» allows to edit the data).
  3. Article in Oriental Daily News, but the article says information is taken from Mainland websites so it may be unreliable. It’s very short, so I’ll give my attempt at translation (my Chinese is not very good, so please correct me if I’m mistaken somewhere; however, I believe I’ve understood the overall meaning; parenthesed text are my comments): "Although the 21-year-old Selena Du was disqualified by ATV (? 被亞視取消參選資格), she orignially had good connections: according to mainland news sites, her paternal grandfather was a military strategist in the former Soviet Union, Selena Du grew in family with higher education, and has since childhood took part in public competitions and literary plays (文藝演出), and also once took part in CCTV performance (? 表演). After growing up, she also took part in beauty contests, in 2010 she took part in Miss Globe International" and achieved the title "image ambassador" (形象大使), in the same years also became the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador (? 聯合國慈善大使); in 2011 she participated in "Miss Asia Pageant North America", recieving the title "The most photogenic miss" (? 最上鏡小姐), and also became "Miss Asia" winner in American region. When Selena Du was a TV host, she interviewed (? 訪問) US ex-president Clinton, NBA star Kobe Bryant and the others; [she is] really impressive, ATV aspect (? 方面) also testifies news related to this (? 亦證實相關消息)."
  4. The fourth link, www.svief.org/2012/english/yqjb/dy.htm is located on a site of a Silicon Valley Technology Innovation & Enterpreneurship Forum (高创会), an international Chinese-English Conference. Selena Du is listed in the "SVIEF Organizing committee" list [1]. The wiki article links to a JS-openable window, most likely to hide the fact that the site is about a completely unrelated event so most likely they didn’t take the job of verifying the facts very seriously. It doesn’t look like a reliable source. Also, there are some doubts about the information presented: e.g., Mar del Plata Film Festival doesn’t seem to have a "Best New Actress" nomination.
  5. The fifth link is an internet forum, so it is not a reliable source. Moreover, the post at forum is about a Chinese-American Film festival. The article says that a UN Goodwill ambassador Selena Du took part in the opening ceremony and press conference of Chinese-Amercian film festival and that she attended some charitable event. This forum post says nothing about the facts it is given after: nothing about Selena being born in Milan, nothing about her singing and dancing, nothing about ballet and Ulanova or Beijing Dance Academy. It is completely irrelevant!
  6. The sixth link is a blog post with the same information as the previous forum post. It is also completely irrelevant to the information and is not a reliable source.
  7. The 7th link contains information (again) on Chinese-American Film festival. Selena Du is mentioned only once (again, the translation is mine): "UN Goodwill Ambassador Selena Du said in pressconference that she is very happy to take part in this festival's opening ceremony and get to know more people from film world. As a novice, she hopes to be able to get her products on screens as soon as possible." (联合国慈善大使杜悦在新闻发布会上表示,很高兴参加这次电影节开幕式,并认识更多的电影界人士。作为新人,她希望能够早日让自己的作品登上银幕。中国国家广电总局电影管理局局长童刚率领中国代表团参加此次电影节。). This is completely irrelevant to the sentence in the Wikipedia article it is intended to support (Du has showed interest in performing art at a very young age). Also, the article is written by Selena Du herself.
  8. The eights link is an interview with Selena Du as a host of Mobile Game Conference (移动游戏大会) in Sichuan. It is also mentioned that she is Miss Asia and UN Goodwill Ambassador. In the interview, Selena speaks only about the Conference-related issues, there is no information to support the claims in the article: nothing about China National Swim Team, nothing about Nie Zhongming's commenting Selena's voice.
  9. The ninth link is a complete re-write of the Oriental Daily News I've translated above (source #3). It supports the claims about military strategist, but it is mostly irrelevant and doesn't give any information about Selena's brother or Selena's father's education in Princeton.
  10. The tenth link is an article about Miss Asia contenst. Selena Du is named the winner of the American West Coast contest. Again, this citation is irrelevant and doesn’t prove statements about Selena’s travelling with her parents or visiting different countries.
  11. The eleventh link is an article about Selena's participation in Miss Asia and being awarded "most photogenic" award. It is irrelevant to the statement is is given after, however, it does prove some information from other parts of the article: that she started dance, music and violin training at the age of 7 (something source 7 failed to prove) and that she likes travelling.
  12. The twelfth link tells about Selena Du at Silicon Valley Technology Innovation & Enterpreneurship Forum (高创会). Also completely irrelevant to the text of the article: nothing about visiting children in Africa and Central America, nothing about Time in Aba, nothing about children recieving edication with her support.
  13. The 13th source is a link to Douban, another user-generated site. Funnily enough, it is also irrelevant because doesn’t it says nothing about Selena’s role in Sofia. Also, on Douban the film is named not 假如 Gáyùh, but as 如果 Yùhgwó (both words mean "if"), and the director and years don’t coincede.

What concens me is:

Most sources state that she is UN Goodwill Ambassador, but I can’t find any information in the UN website, so, after seeing so much lies, I'm not sure even this one is true.

Even if this were not a real disinformation but an error or some kind of misunderstanding... Should the article so full of errors exist? Хтосьці (talk) 20:17, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify your link, here is the link to precise time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89cw0O9Fib8&feature=youtu.be&t=5m40s However, the problem is not - if she exists or not, the problem whether the information in the article is true, and whether this woman should be included in Wikipedia. So far looks very suspicious. For example, it is written, that "she also holds the 2012 Miss Asia US Division title", but in the link she is just listed as a contestant. And I don't like that a notice about the article deletion already was removed three times by User:Audreylomberg and User:Georgegreat Bor75 (talk) 23:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
She's not just listed as a contestant here. If you move your mouse over her pic, it says "冠軍" (champion), the one on the left is "亞軍" (first runner-up), the one on the right is "季軍" (second runner-up). As Хтосьці said above, she is also named the winner here in this news article (her Chinese name is Du Yue). --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having had another look, I just can't support keeping this. Good-faith approach to creation or not, the equivalent was recently deleted from fr.wp and I can't find much of anything to support keeping it here. On closer inspection, the sourcing is flimsy and there certainly doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources.

This is yet another poorly written article with no references, which at first glance looks like it was created by the band themselves. I have already nominated the singer of the band for deletion, see here; as his article is without question recalcitrant to WP:MUS. They were created in December 2007 with one large edit from user Special:Contributions/Hollywoodwaster who has done very little since then; furthermore the article has had little attention from any other editors since then. They have no charted albums or singles; there is no coverage of the band at Scottish publications The Skinny or The List or for that matter any web media. There is nothing at Allmusic.com on this band nor is there anything on Google news archive; there are no reviews for their album Goodbye to Yesterday in any web media [8]. The articles manual of style is also rather lacklustre, phrases such as "Cielo Drive have become well known for their energetic live performances and crowd interaction," typify puffery at its best. The whole article could be summed up by what the British colloquially call a piss-take. For example the section, "Non-musical album appearances" features a link to member Michael McMahon who, astonishingly does not exist, however by coincidence he has the same name as a U.S. Democratic politician, which it nicely links to. There has clearly been no attempt to make the article appear legit and just resembles a fan composed promotional message. I therefore propose deletion.

Sergio Sergio[edit]

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

The tag at the top of this page says it all. It is written like an advert. More importantly however is the dearth of any references to support the existence of the page; a Google search yields precious little substance barring some of the customary fan pages, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Soundcloud etc. The article's tone is evidently exaggerated, with several references to 'hits', despite the band having no discography whatsoever. They have rather cunningly inserted a soundcloud citation with a sly note saying "Sergio Sergio release songs to critical acclaim". Of course there is no critical praise from paid critics, just 12 likes spread between their vast repertoire of three songs; most likely they were reciprocal likes by the band members. There is always a correlation between bad articles and classic puffery, the following sentence embodies such exaggerated prose unquestionably. "The chemistry between the five was apparent from the offset. Given was the missing piece in the Sergio Sergio jigsaw, and the band worked on monster hits such as Eucatastrophe, Dangerous Minds and The Vanguard Siren." All joking aside, even without monster hits, the least I expect when i'm looking at a music article for a Scottish band is some relevant media coverage such as The List, The Skinny, Scotsman or even an entry at Allmusic.com. "Sergio Sergio is born" they proclaim, sadly it could be a premature end. I nominate this article for deletion with conviction; but if anyone can search the depths of the world wide web and find anything to counterclaim this nomination, I will happily accept egg on my face.

Everything I said above is still true. However, I added his ADCC record to the article and that, combined with his two UFC fights, is enough to show notability to me. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Virtually every college has a sports hall of fame, that's not what WP:NCOLLATH is referring to--it means the HOF for that sport. I added sources independent of the subject (which his team's site is not) about his ADCC record. I don't think he meets WP:GNG yet because the article still needs better sources, but I think his whole record is enough to meet WP:MANOTE. It's not just that he competed at the ADCC, but that he won 3 bouts there. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Drummond was an Ace. That is what sets him up above the rest from the standpoint of notability. If you follow the WP:NOTMEMORIAL link that I keep inserting, the relevant part in this case is: "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements (emphasis in the original)." No one is yelling here but you sir. Take a deep breath, if this this is your grandfather or something, I am sorry for your loss as I am sure he meant a lot to you.
Before I weigh in on a deletion discussion, I go look for a reliable source to add to it. The purpose of Wikipedia is to add knowledge. Community consensus, not my consensus, determines what gets included. This consensus is shaped by standards and practices written across thousands of words in rules, guidelines, essays, and discussions like this one and has shaped the idea of what does and does not belong. It can be overwhelming, but I will tell you many of us have been in this discussion before. The only difference is the name of the article, and the result was deletion for failure to show notability through reliable sources. EricSerge (talk) 18:51, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For fucks sake this guy is not my grandfather or a friend, he is just a person just like everyone else is, though distinguished with a Silver Star which your consensus rejects simply out of stupidity! And this guy is not a flying ace? He flew 35 damned missions in WWII alone! Let me explain so that your head will get it, I was searching Google for a similar guy a physicist named Walter Kutschera, and stumbled on this one, got it? So, in short, he is not my grandfather or a friend, and I never knew of his existence before that day! Question, if he would have died in WWII (like in combat) would he be of any value to Wikipedia?--Mishae (talk) 19:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you remain civil and calm down. The points being made are backed by consensus. If you don't care about that, as you say above, then perhaps you should reconsider whether you want to edit Wikipedia. And the answer to your last question is no, it would make no difference to his notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, redirected. Speaking of editor retention etc., it's one strange bureau-hole you got here on AfD. One example: theoretically I don't see why can't the article's history be discarded with its content, as the inclusion of the same info in another article is an entirely independent act, done by one editor with no prior consent from the community. If only I wrote "the is already on funeral", instead of "I copied", nobody'd have cared about MAD (indeed). trespassers william (talk) 16:55, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I confess this is not my specialist subject and bow to the wisdom of others who may be better informed. I came across this page as a Random article. It was badly written, full of cliche and hype, so I proceded to rewrite and tidy up. At the end, I just could not understand what made this band notable, hence this nomination. The article is completely unreferenced and has been since 2006. On the talk page, one reader in 2007 mentioned the lack of references and said, "I know the guys and can vouch for everything on here, unfortunately that would seem to fall into the "own research" category." He promised to obtain sources, but that has never happened. A Google search reveals plenty of links to Youtube and Facebook, as well as sites listing lyrics and the like, but no independent reliable coverage in the press or elsewhere. The article attempts to give notability by association, for example by mentioning guest vocalists (none of whom is notable enough for a Wikipedia article) and other bands that this one has appeared with (ditto). Nothing in the article suggests that the band is notable in and of itself.

The article was previously nominated for deletion in 2005 and was, at that time, deleted. This is clearly a much longer article, but my reading is that the band was deleted previously for lack of notability and I cannot see how that has changed. Emeraude (talk) 10:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to point out that the article was recreated by User contributions:MuttleyBCS, who is presumably the band member. Emeraude (talk) 11:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've added several references which can be used for further development of the article, and also cleaned it up a bit, more generally. With even a quick look, there is no shortage of substantial and notable sources. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The thing is that all these articles only vaguely use the term "cancer village" without any specific data or definition. The list in the article right now is not supported by any reliable source. -Zanhe (talk) 19:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good point about reliable sources. (Wp:recentism and wp:notnews also apply somewhat, but the phenomenon has probably been around for decades and isn't going away soon, even if the terminology is new.) I'll wait a few days to see if someone addresses the sparseness of information in reliable sources before changing my vote to merge per your proposal below.--Wikimedes (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
News reports, references added by Sonnenfeld, and a Google Scholar search [24] establishes notability of term. It is, however a specific case of cancer clusters and should be covered there, with a redirect so that people looking for "cancer villages" can find the info. If its coverage in the cancer clusters article becomes extensive enough for a stand alone article, an article on cancer villages can be re-created. The current list is not from a reliable source and appears to be unusable. Examples of reliably documented cancer clusters in China can be added to List of cancer clusters. It also deserves mention in Pollution in China.--Wikimedes (talk) 19:26, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Superfund sites are designated by legislation from the US Congress. On the other hand, the Chinese government only "appears to have acknowledged the existence of so-called cancer villages" according to the BBC article cited as a main source. This concept is way too vague to justify its own article. -Zanhe (talk) 18:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alternative proposal: summarize the article and merge the information to Pollution in China. -Zanhe (talk) 18:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Heart attack city, Diabetes town, etc. - This is a straw man argument. Of course we should not have articles on phrases that Zanhe has just made up.--Wikimedes (talk) 18:04, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The concept of cancer clusters seem to go back to 17th Century English chimney sweeps, so the concept is not transient. "Cancer Village" is a term that is still in use, so it's impossible to tell if it's transient, but by the first Further reading reference in the article, it goes back at least 6 years.
  • Whether a term is vague or has no technical definition is probably not relevant to whether it can be the subject of a Wikipedia article, but is useful for determining what can be included in a list.--Wikimedes (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wavelength (talk) 23:21, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And there I thought Wikipedia was about using reliable sources to create an encyclopedia. Now that I know it's about protecting and harming reputations I'll change my editing habits. (end sarcasm).--Wikimedes (talk) 04:54, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Significant coverage - Do the sources address the subject directly in detail? Yes
  • Reliability - Do the sources have editorial integrity? Yes: Shanghai Daily (a Chinese government-run publication), BBC News, The Lancet, Journal of Contemporary China...
  • Sources - Based on secondary sources? Yes
  • Independent of the subject - Yes
  • Presumed - Does significant coverage in reliable sources establish a presumption of suitability for inclusion? Yes
Beyond this, statements have been made about this being a passing sensation. News coverage goes back until at least 2007, so that is six years. Not ephemeral in today's sound-byte world... The Wei et al. (2008) study suggests that 7-8% of the population of one of the villages involved has died from cancers. The number of identified villages has more than doubled from 2007-2013. The topic and interest in it, is not going to go away. Much room for development & refinement of the topic, but I can't see deleting it because of insufficient notability. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 19:28, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The significance of this particular 'cluster' (actually series of clusters) lies in the facts that i) China is the world's most populous country; ii) in recent years, it has been the most rapidly and consistently growing part of the global economy; iii) the appearance of these 'cancer villages' is a relatively new phenomenon, closely tied in with rapid industrialization; iv) they are geographically dispersed within China; v) the issue has been the focus of substantial media focus in China and around the world; vi) the Chinese government now is acknowledging that, indeed, there is a problem... If Love Canal in the United States has an article, certainly these 'cancer villages' in China deserve their own. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:16, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The big problem here is that none of the sources on the article are really usable as reliable sources per Wikipedia. Here's a rundown of the sources:
Sources
  1. [42] BlogTalk Radio isn't usable as a reliable source since it's one of those sites where anyone can open up their own channel for the most part. Even though it's spoken, it falls under the same umbrella as written blogs.
  2. [43] This one is borderline, but generally speaking, radio shows in general aren't really considered to be usable unless they're something that is nationally syndicated. The station also has to be one that is considered to be rather reliable, such as NPR.
  3. [44] This is another non-notable radio station as far as Wikipedia is concerned. Note that I said per Wikipedia. You can have shows that can be popular and known, yet still not be considered to be a reliable source per Wikipedia's standards.
  4. [45] This is another radio show that could be borderline, but will probably end up being an unusable source once I put it through the RS noticeboard.
  5. [46] This isn't really an article as much as it's an advertisement for someone to visit their blog radio station... which is unusable as a reliable source. It barely even mentions the book as anything other than a passing mention, in any case.
  6. [47] This looks to be Slozberg's own blog/website and lists a press release. This is seen as a primary source and cannot be used as anything to show notability.
In the end all we have are two appearances on radio shows that are of dubious notability at best. That's not enough to show notability. I'll see what I can find, but I wanted to detail these and show why none of the sources are usable as reliable sources. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:58, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Vague claims of "resellers" and "cooperators" ': The company should have the right not to reveal its cooperators, but if necessary a list can be included in the article with all resellers and cooperators. 'nothing to indicate size of company or amount of business': Again I don't believe such information should be public knowledge, nor I can think of a way to prove one's amount of business, open to suggestions. 'No references outside the company, just two review sites': Please indicate the information on the site that needs additional references. 'Sockpuppets suspected, there are at least six users who have only ever edited this article and nothing else': Editing only one article is against the rules of Wikipedia?

Overall, I am new to Wikipedia, I would prefer someone more experienced to give me advice on improving the page rather than suggesting the deletion of it. Thank you for your understanding.

Comment - Balaviaris is one of the suspected sockpuppets. Editors user page is a copy of the article. (Stricken by Dmol. See comments below.)--Dmol (talk) 21:05, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I only did what wikipedia advises in these cases, to keep a copy in your user's page (quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help,_my_article_got_nominated_for_deletion!#How_to_save_the_article: The best is to duplicate it in a subpage (on your user page), then improve when possible (if and when sources are found), then later convert back to an article). Anyway, I think the AfD was too harsh, Dmol should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Considerations : "Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD." Nothing of the above was done. There wasn't even a warning, neither a recommendation for improvement. I would also recommend reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry before accusing someone of sockpuppeting. I really hope this discussion is something more than random personal attacks. Balaviaris (talk) 06:52, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Updated comment - I had not noticed that the copy of the page was put on Balaviaris user page as a backup copy at the same time the article was listed for AFD, so I have removed my comment. However, I have added a Conflict of Interest tag to the page as Balaviaris is an employee of Economy Car Rentals as shown by his/her comments on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bonadea#Economy_Car_Rentals_page --Dmol (talk) 12:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Since my contribution on the article cannot be considered unbiased and objective, I will stop editing the Economy Car Rentals article. I only ask from a neutral user, like Dmol for example, to try and fix any remaining problems of the article. Deleting it still seems too final and completely unnecessary. Balaviaris (talk) 06:25, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And you are free to nominate those for deletion too (though I would be careful about doing so just to make a point). But the existence of other comparable articles is no reason for keeping this one. For the article to be kept, you need to substantiate that the subject is notable, per significant coverage in reliable sources. Stalwart111 08:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am not interesting in deleting other articles, just keeping this one. I only ask for some time to find a reliable source and link it to the article. If this is the main problem of the article, perhaps replace the AfD with Refimprove. Balaviaris (talk) 09:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A lack of references is a problem, but a lack of notability is a bigger problem. Obviously, you should be encouraged to find and add reliable sources, but the requirement is still for significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, so I'd be looking for more than one if I were you, because there are none at the moment. AfDs are usually listed for 7 days and then relisted if there is no obvious consensus. There are no requirements for it to remain open for any particular length of time beyond that. But you can always ask for the article to be userfied as an alternative to deletion. Or you can simply wait until significant coverage exists and then ask at WP:DRV for permission to recreate the article. Stalwart111 09:51, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But is this coverage significant? I don't think it is. Sadler was just one of thousands of convicts transported to Australia, and presumably there is a reliable record of every one of these somewhere. Similarly there are records of births, christenings, marriages and deaths of millions of ordinary people. These records are all independent and reliable, but do not imply any particular notability. Should there be a Wikipedia article for each of these people? I agree that transported convicts are more notable than most people, but as convicts go, Sadler still doesn't seem to be particularly special. Bazonka (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joy Electric has 27 different albums, and they've each had their own pages for many years now. It would be very cumbersome and inefficient to try to include all of them in their varying degrees of notability into the body of the band's own page. I also don't understand why this album has been brought forward for deletion a couple of times while none of the other 26 albums have. Proctris (talk) 03:28, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have an acceptable answer. The editor's standards aren't coincident with the emotional investment I have in these many album articles that I've created and maintained, which I suppose will also meet similar scrutiny in their own time. I can concede that my chief reason to keep is because it's something that is important to me personally—Joy Electric has notability but certainly not very widespread, so it would be challenging to find any "notable" reference to this album in particular. I submit that I don't have the deep technical expertice of an editor such as yourself, so I just don't understand what is gained by not having the article. Proctris (talk) 16:46, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I really like how in defense of your OTHERSTUFFEXISTS counterargument, you went ahead and deleted a good number of the other album articles. I'm not going to fight anymore, since I'm clearly outgunned, but I would still love an answer to my question: what is gained by not having the album articles? What benefit to Wikipedia and the world is achieved? Proctris (talk) 13:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proctis, I have not deleted any album articles, I think you must be confused. I seem to be able to see all the articles, undeleted, except one which is now a redirect, until any reliable sources can be found. Please don't take it personally - there is no need for messages like the one you have at User:Proctris. So far no other opinions have been put forward - it may well be that the article is found to be notable, we'll have to wait and see. If it is found to be non-notable, you may want to consider putting the information together into a discography article. As you obviously care about this information, you may also want to consider looking over the other articles and seeing if you can make them more verifiable and with more reliable sources. As to what is gained by deleting non-notable articles - well hopefully an uncluttered encyclopedia, full of articles on topics judged to be notable - otherwise where do you stop - why not have an article on myself, and everybody else? But that's a discussion for the community as a whole, for a wide consensus to be reached, not for the discussion of this article. Boleyn (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe I'm confused, unless you are making a distinction between "deleting" and "blanking-and-redirecting;" I understand that the content is still there in the history but for all intents and purposes, the articles are "gone" (no one's going to find the content unless they really look for it). I'm using "delete" colloquially. Here is what I am referring to:
Proctris (talk) 23:14, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't making that distinction, I checked several on the list and found all but one was still a full article. If you feel those that have been redirected shouldn't have been, then of course you should revert those edits. Boleyn (talk) 06:22, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I made the above links for convenience. I find it very peculiar that you say they're still articles but I get redirects on all of them. If you didn't make those edits, then why are they showing up in the edit log at the times I gave? Is there a bot operating under your name? Proctris (talk) 11:35, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing indicates this person passes either WP:GNG or WP:PROFESSOR. It seems to have never had significant references, and the level of detail indicates the creator simply "knew" it, and perhaps knew the subject. JFHJr () 21:43, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Answer - No, I'm saying that the criteria for academic notability says that "every president of the American Institute of Chemists is automatically notable". Under criterion #6, the question clearly becomes whether the AIC is a "major academic society". Unless there are some sub-criteria about which I am unaware that establish what counts as "major", then I think the criteria command this outcome. Adamc714 (talk) 03:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Here's a link establishing the presidency (http://www.theaic.org/about_history.html). The real question, then, is whether the AIC is a major academic institution. It's almost 100 years old, publishes its own academic journal (The Chemist), and hosts national symposia on the profession. The ACS may be better known, but the AIC apparently does the same sort of things. If it looks and acts like a major disciplinary association, chances are that it is. By subjecting its significance to a mere vote, we're just fostering a system whereby we reach arbitrary decisions. By my reading of Criterion #6, the rules governing this type of notability want to avoid such arbitrary votes. Adamc714 (talk) 15:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Well, my problem is that I cannot find anything significant published by Festa. That is highly unlikely if he had been president of a prestigious society as mentioned in PROF#6. So either there are publications somewhere that for some reason I do not find, or the society isn't all that notable. Kind of a chicken and the egg problem... --Randykitty (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - But Festa is a professor at a liberal arts college, so he is not a researcher. PROF#6 has nothing to do with publications, it only relates to the leadership position. For all we know, they purposely elected someone from a LAS college because of his focus on on teaching as opposed to researching. But we can't get wrapped up in mere speculation - either he satisfies #6 or he doesn't. Adamc714 (talk) 15:50, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Criterion 6 only comes into play, of course, if it is clear beyond any doubt that the organization in question is significant, as it is highly unlikely that a prestigious society would elect as president someone who has not a significant reputation in the field. At this point, however, it is not clear to me that the AIoC is a significant organization, so I cannot in good conscience !vote "keep" based on his presidency of that group. The fact that nothing can be found about Festa apart from this presidency actually suggests that he's only a minor player in the field at best and that, in consequence, the AIoC is not really the kind of organization intended in criterion 6. --Randykitty (talk) 16:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I did not make the series of notable papers claim, so I'm not in a position to comment on the possible source for that. It may very well not be accurate. I'm primarily defending the article on the AIoC grounds. Adamc714 (talk) 23:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I very rarely see you commenting at AFD. It is a privilege to talk to an AFD legend. I am honoured. Can you tell me in which other cities schools with same name exist? In Wikipedia the title is redlink! --Tito Dutta (contact) 18:56, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is actually a huge list in Google. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:59, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, one in Madhya Pradesh! Missed that! The proposed title looks fine! --Tito Dutta (contact) 19:10, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. Although a guideline, it has almost as much weight as a policy. Non-profits are no more exempt from complying with notability standards than any other organisations, although we do, historically, and by well established precedent, allow some leeway for bona fide K12 (or in the case of some countries, K10) secondary schools. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, what would the appropriate guideline be for a school like this? Would it only be WP:GNG? MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:13, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
'Keep' - per the long established precedent as documented at WP:OUTCOMES#SCHOOLS for bona fide high schools as stated above. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:26, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well since I have your attention here, one more question...is my understanding correct that general precedent in previous AfDs as shown in that "outcomes" page also form a basis for whether articles are kept or not? Because that would be a very clear indicator in this case. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly, but I'm only a specialist on school articles. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:09, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
