The Changes (band)[edit]

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

Non-notable band. Tagged as unreferenced since 2008- only ref is self-published. TheLongTone (talk) 23:24, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Am also nominating the bands only (non charting, non refereneced) album.[reply]

Keep. A couple of minutes searching found significant coverage from Allmusic (multiple), NPR (multiple), Daily Herald, Pitchfork, SPIN, Chicago Tribune, Paste, and Heeb. The lack of sources in the article is a reason for improvement not deletion. --Michig (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  - Didn't have time this morning, but here's some links: NPR: [1], [2], Allmusic: [3], [4], Pitchfork: [5], Daily Herald: [6], Heeb: [7], SPIN: [8], Chicago Tribune: [9], Paste: [10]. I suspect several more could be found with a more thorough search. --Michig (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would say that most of those links serve very well to establish this band's non-notability. All they evidence is a PR push in 2006 which got a little bit of coverage. This is not notabity: its a pebble chucked into a pond in Chicago with a total lack of ripples. The others? Evidence that records exist: none that anybody actually listened to them.TheLongTone (talk) 18:31, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We have established criteria for inclusion and one of the most widely accepted is significant coverage in reliable sources, which is clearly satisfied here. --Michig (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the sources listed above by User:Michig show that the band in question has received coverage in independent, reliable sources, thereby meeting WP:GNG and criterion 1 of WP:BAND. Here are a couple more reviews of their work, in The Fader [11] and NME [12]. Gong show 20:20, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Get real. significant coverage is what it says. have you read the NME review? half a dozen lines. (incidentally saying they are rubbish which is why nothing has been heard of them for the last seven years.TheLongTone (talk) 22:20, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A 158-word NME review is certainly no War and Peace, but it's more than a trivial (i.e., passing) mention and from a notable publication. At the least, I thought it might have some value in supplementing the rest of the material. If this was the only piece of coverage on the band I would agree that they are not notable. As it stands, even if the review did not exist, the band clears the notability bar given the other coverage presented. As for the band being "rubbish", there are plenty of examples of critically panned - but still notable - musicians, songs, films, video games, etc. Gong show 02:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like someone has a vendetta against the band. If a PR "push" was all it took to land reviews in Pitchfork and NME and Spin and the Chicago Tribune then these rags would be forced to publish hundreds of reviews of crappy basement bands every day. Full disclosure: I really like one song by the Changes, a band I found out about through... Pitchfork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.148.84.224 (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - his career before WWE has no sources at all. His career in WWE... it's not even WWE... he never made it past Florida Championship Wrestling, the developmental territory / training ground of WWE. Definitely ever made it to a major pro wrestling promotion. Overall, he seems too minor for notability. Starship.paint (talk) 12:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He has notability from those promos that aired on SmackDown back in 2008. Sure, they never led to anything, but he did get exposure there. --GeicoHen (talk) 14:44, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems there was one promo. On one of the lowest-rated SmackDowns of the year. Probably didn't last a minute. And like you say, led to absolutely nothing. It's like being in a commercial, which only ran once. InedibleHulk (talk) 17:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Derek Ting[edit]

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

The main reason for nomination is that this actor have accomplished nothing in order to meet WP:ENT. Article is unsourced other than of that of his only straight to YouTube film project that never gained any serious notability for anybody to take notice. Donnie Park (talk) 20:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Derek Ting is a young director/producer/actor who is working hard establishing himself in an extremely competitive industry. His continued inclusion in Wikipedia is strongly suggested as he is one of the only, if not the only, Asian-American male who has taken on the lead role in directing, producing, or acting in a movie released to an American audience. This is a very unique and innovative contribution in the field of entertainment. There are other more famous Asian males in American cinema, but most are not Asian-American and if they are, they do not lead in their movies. Most Asian-American males play supporting roles in American movies. Derek Ting's achievements are nothing short of impressive. The actor and his body of work is sourced. They can be found on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. His movie, $upercapitalist, was not released solely as a YouTube film project, although it is available for rental or purchase from YouTube as part of its simultaneous day and date release strategy. As noted in the article, his movie was released to cinemas, cable TV, and on multiple major streaming websites. The movie can be found not only on YouTube, but also Apple and Hulu, among others. If those kinds of direct links are permitted on Wikipedia, they can be included. His movie was featured on major news outlets, such as NY Times, BBC World, Forbes, NBC News, CNBC News, The Examiner, and CCTV, as well as being an official selection in the Asian American International Film Festival. Many of those featured news stories can be quickly accessed from the movie's website. Further, please note that in his movie, he has some major stars play supporting roles. These stars include Linus Roache, Kenneth Tsang, Richard Ng, and Kathy Uyen, among others. To be able to get the support of stars in a supporting manner is significant. He is working on his next film, Incidental, which is currently targeting a release in 2014. As a result of his inspiring achievements thus far, he has a sort of cult following already. How should such a statement be supported in Wikipedia? Can links to respective social media accounts be included? Please note that the article has been updated to include his upcoming movie. Worldofinfo (talk) 22:03, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None of your rationale is going to persuade me to otherwise why this article is going to stay other than that for the film as you only given the reason why only your film project can stay, not this subject. As for Mr. Ting being notable, let me say this, wow, he is the next Barkhad Abdi, just after one film he has shown a lot of promise to the industry, please do let me know if like Mr. Abdi, he gets nominated for an Oscar.

Schaffer's mill[edit]

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

Non-notable privately owned location. I checked Google books and while I found some brief mentions of Schaffer and his mills (perhaps as many as three mills), I do not see more than passing mentions other than guidebook type entries. The only Google news archive story was a story about the bones of a man eaten by coyotes in 1890 whose bones were found near one of the mills. Subsequently one of the three the mills was remodeled into a resort/retail building which shows in a couple of directories in books, but again, no notability other than that they exist. Google scholar turns up one reference but again there is no apparent notability. It appears the page was created to advertise the current retail use of the old mills.

There is nothing wrong with having stubs. Wikipedia has no deadline. Sometimes articles take years and perhaps decades to grow. I created the article for the actress Valérie Bonneton. Why is that still so short? I don't know. I created it with the expectation people more interested in the topic will add to it. I know that will happen in time, but I have no time limit.

Very weak delete although I have mixed views about this:
- The cited mainstream sources USAA, ABC news, and Fox Business, while not providing coverage of this person as required by WP:BIO, seem to rely on this person as an expert, and devote a fair amount of space referring to her safety recommendations. Does that count as 'significant coverage' of the subject?
- We also have the guideline that says you aren't notable just because you're the daughter of someone who is notable. I'm not seeing that she has achieved notability in her own right other than through being the daughter of a race car driver.
- On the other hand, there's User:GlassCobra/Essays/Hotties are always notable although that shouldn't guide the decision. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:28, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Lauren Fix. Notability is borderline; I agree with the weak delete as a separate article. Shelby Fix is already mentioned in the Lauren Fix article. A couple of paragraphs there would be appropriate since most of the ref's of this article refer to Shelby Fix as Lauren's daughter. "the Teen Car Coach®". My WP:CRYSTAL says Shelby Fit is no longer a teenager and this article can never grow unless she establishs her own notability. If she does, a separate article may become justified.

Couldn't establish that this meets WP:NSONG or WP:GNG.

"Magically" appeared? - nope, I logged on. Nothing remarkable or magic about that. There is VERY little information about The Stairs, and only a few recordings, of which all are notable. This is a page documenting a recording released by the band's label in the US, and therefore notable. The fact that the songs on this recroding (a stand alone cd, the photo of which was deleted even though I had attributed copyright correctly at the time) also appear on an album has nothing to do with the notability of this article. How is "notable" defined anyway? Who gets to say what might or might not be notable? And to whom? Sa cooke (talk) 00:12, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant notability for songs and singles is here.--Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 00:28, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Hobbes Goodyear: This recording is NOT a song or single, therefore the guidelines you pointed to do not apply. The recording is a promotional release by the band's US label, and therefore notable in context. Just because it is not notable to you has nothing to do with it's notability generally. Sa cooke (talk) 01:21, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article title says "song" and the lead sentence says "single", but if you think instead that the recordings guideline should apply, then I would encourage you to provide evidence of this promotional release's notability. The article should also be built up more, else--notable or not--it should be folded into the main album page as a convenience to the reader.--Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Hobbes Goodyear: If you check the history, I did not call it a song originally - it was edited by someone to read that. I do concede that an argument could be made for folding the information the page should contain into the album, but I suspect there is a bit more to add about the release. The Stairs only visited the States once, and the release was to promote the small tour. The release is notable because The Stairs released so little material that any release is important. It may not seem that way to you, but others (including myself) find that significant. A google search will show the importance the band has, and the influence the band has had on other bands from the area. Sa cooke (talk) 02:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The last deletion discussion was too recent and nothing has changed since then. Changing a guideline does not automatically make this individual any less notable. She still passes the "Has made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre" criteria in PORNBIO for her work in the MILF genre and her nominations continue to be evidence of that. The "In popular culture" section of her article shows that she "Has been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media", also PORNBIO criteria. Not to mention that she also passes WP:ANYBIO, considering that fact that nominations haven't been removed from it and last time I checked, it hasn't been renamed to WP:ANYBIOEXCEPTFORPORNSTARS. Rebecca1990 (talk) 15:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unique contributions to porn need acknowledgement by reliable or at least semi-reliable (like AVN) sources. I don't see that in the article and I can't find it in independent searches.

Margaret Seaton[edit]

I put everything I could find (all notability links, checking all links using variations of her names, HighBeam, British National Archives, British artists site, Royal Academy, etc.) into the article in an attempt to save it, but the article does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:ARTISTS CaroleHenson (talk) 12:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - there are claims she was a talented painter but absolutely nothing to back this up. Occasionally these sort of articles are tributes written by a relative, maybe it is the case in this example. It's true that the achievements of women artists are often dismissed by the establishment, but unfortunately for Seaton there isn't even a whiff of a record about her.

Antonia Gerstacker[edit]

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

This article does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:ARTISTS

There are no published news articles on google news or HighBeam. There's one viable (not WP source info) book and that's already used in the article. There's also nothing in JSTOR or scholar. After weeding out facebook, linkedin, ebay, and other common non-reliables for a regular google search, I found one article about an exhibit and added it to the article.
The article had a lot of uncited information, perhaps WP:Original research or Original thought. See Talk:Antonia Gerstacker for a discussion of information that had been in the article to be resolved.

The only potential source information are discussed there: 1) two local cable interviews, 2) a music video where her murals may be seen, but are not credited within the music video itself, and 3) two sources we're unable to verify that have information that doesn't seem as if it would resolve notability issues.

It seems that she's known within the Miami area. I hope that her career progresses more broadly so that she makes the press, meets WP notability guidelines, and is able to be added later.CaroleHenson (talk) 12:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - she's described as "noted" in a Miami Beach Illustrated Travel guide, but that's the best I could find. Because the article is largely written by the subject, it sets off all sorts of alarm bells for me. And I would have expected that if there were any offline, pre internet sources, the subject would know about them. She's made an impression on her local area but not a sufficient impact for WP:GNG yet. Sionk (talk) 12:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VoterMarch[edit]

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

Fails WP:ORG. 90+% of the "coverage" of this group came between Jan. 10 and 21, 2001, consisted of a few sentences usually identifying and providing context to the source of a quote, and were mostly reprints of or generally based on the same AP wire piece that ran in that period. This isn't substantial coverage in reliable sources, and with the AP wire issue, there are questions about intellectual independence. The fact that so much of this coverage stems from the January 2001 protest also tees up a WP:ONEEVENT issue.

The sources in the article are not exceptions. Either they fit the concern above, are inconsequential mentions, or are simply unreliable. Searching LexisNexis for caps(singular(voter)) pre/1 caps(singular(march)) brings up fewer than 30 hits, including several false positives. One article is entirely about Les Souci, a few are about Lou Posner's 2008 arrest and conviction, and almost everything else is subject to the concerns mentioned above. The same happens with a search for "VoterMarch".

In short, we have here an organization that got a few trivial mentions in the press because people got quoted and identified as affiliated with the group, where all that coverage stemmed from the same protest in early 2001 that was attended by many, many other organizations. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 12:09, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect Though a well-crafted work product designed to give a greater-than-justified air of notability, the article lacks significant coverage. There are lots of cites, so at first blush, it looks notable. However,
- Archives-- self pubbed in deeper context of inaugral protests
- Montgomery and Santana-- short Posner quote
- BBC-- breif mention in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- Couloumbis-- brief Rogers quote in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- Daily News-- brief Rogers quote in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- Tuscaloosa News-- brief Rogers quote in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- CNN brief mention in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- NYTimes review of movie-- no mention of subject in deeper context of inaugaral protests
- ITVS-- no mention of subject in deeper context of inaugaral protests

Clearly, the subject had a role in the Protests against President Bush fils, so while not notable enough for an article, there should be a redirect to an article about the protests (could not find one) or to First_inauguration_of_George_W._Bush#Controversy.

Voter March's initial event was in organizing the Counter-Inaugural Protest on January 20, 2001 in response to the 2000 Presidential election which was very controversial and contentious. After the 2000 Presidential election controversy, grassroots groups sprung up throughout the nation. Voter March was the umbrella grassroots group that organized hundreds of smaller groups throughout the nation to a large demonstration in Dupont Circle in Washington, DC. Voter March, International Action Center, National Organization of Women and National Action Network (Al Sharpton) were the main protest groups at the 2001 Presidential inauguration. Following the Counter-Inaugural Protest, Voter March engaged in other events, including the Voter Rights March on May 19, 2001 in Washington DC and San Francisco, and a series of speaking and book tours for BBC reporter and author Greg Palast and former prosecutor and author Vincent Bugliosi. Subsequently, Voter March was involved in the Anti-Iraq War movement, the 2004 Stolen Election campaign and the 2012 Tax Wall Street campaign. During 2001 and 2002, there were a large number of references to articles on Voter March. However, most of these articles have since been archived and are very difficult to retrieve. References to Voter March from secondary sources, are as follows: Counter-Inaugural Protests (Jan. 20, 2001) Protesters line inaugural parade route, CNN.com, AllPolitics.com, January 20, 2001 [20] "Although we represent different constituencies we are finding that we share a number of common concerns, especially outrage about the trampling of the electoral process and the disenfranchisement of voters," said Les Souci, an organizer of Voter March, which wants a Voters' Bill of Rights and campaign finance reform. The Washington Post reported further that: "Other activists are planning a Voters March to call for election reform and the abolishment of the electoral college. "Our nation has been traumatized by what has happened in this election," said Louis Posner, a New York attorney leading the effort." Inaugural Protests Take Shape Published on Thursday, December 21, 2000 in the Washington Post, by David Montgomery and Arthur Santana, Common Dreams With political parties, special interests and labor unions spending large sums to organize and communicate over the Internet, it is not surprising that it has become the principal tool for strategic communication and mobilization of protest activism. Ideas are presented in affinity chat rooms until there are enough activists to start an email list. Soon a Webpage appears and the organization is under way. Voter March also claims to have been formed in this way. Lou Posner, a founding member of the group, tells Insight it arose spontaneously on the Web a week after Election Day. "We were formed as a grass-roots organization in response to election irregularities and problems," says Posner. Voter March played a key role in organizing the main protest rally on Inauguration Day, acting as an umbrella organization for hundreds of smaller groups from across the country. They started at 10 a.m. with a rally at Dupont Circle in Northwest Washington before heading through the city on a three-mile march. Posner claimed his group is more mainstream than many of the others in his penumbra, but assured in the days leading up to the inauguration that marchers would be peaceful. "We're taking a pretty strong position that everything we're going to do is going to be legal and lawful," Posner told Insight...This sort of thing may help explain why groups such as Voter March made such an effort to distance themselves from the more experienced troupes of protesters. "Our group does not represent the `professional' protesters that you saw at the World Trade Organization [and] World Bank [meetings] and Republican convention," Posner tells Insight." [21] BBC reported "There are a lot of moderate-thinking Americans out there wondering how we got to this point - not only why Bush is president, but why his cabinet nominations are so far to the right," said Bob Rogers of the group Voter March. Voter March is part of a coalition of groups, including the National Organization of Women and the National Action Network, that have called for Saturday to be a non-violent 'Day of Resistance' to the presidency of Mr Bush." Bush: Who's Protesting and Why, BBC News, January 20, 2001 The Philadelphia Inquirer reported "Bush may be president, but I know that when he goes to sit in the Oval Office for the first time, he's going to look out the window, and see and hear us," said Bob Rogers, a founder and organizer of yesterday's Voter March, a nonpartisan group protesting voter disenfranchisement and championing reforms to the Electoral College. "I don't want to personalize this," Rogers said of Bush. "I'm not going to scream 'Hail to the thief,' as others may do. But I will say, 'Respect the presidency,' because during this election, it was not respected."

District police said at the time that the size of the demonstration rivaled those held at the Nixon inaugural in 1973. Voter March founder Louis Posner said that he expected a diverse crowd at Saturday's rally -- "male, female, old, young, black, white, many of the 'first-time' protesters," he said. Voter March seeks a reform of the election process—including possibly scrapping the Electoral College system that allowed Bush to prevail. "The indignation over the Supreme Court's highly partisan decision cuts across all social lines," Posner said. "Voter March continues to grow as more and more people commit their energies to ensuring that the rights of voters can never again be trampled." Voters Rally for Electoral Reform, CNN Politics, May 19, 2001. The Democrat Underground reported: "The Voter Rights March to Restore Democracy had several specific purposes behind its inception: to bring attention to the fact that the November election was a catastrophe and that election reform is a moral American imperative, to point out that some 180,000 votes have yet to be recounted in Florida despite a requirement for same inked into the books of the Sunshine State's laws, to cast a glaring light upon the scurrilous actions taken by the United States Supreme Court on December 13, 2000.... We heard from Lou Posner, one of the central organizers of the march, who looked like a blue-suited roadie for Crosby, Stills & Nash, but had the eyes of an assassin with his mark in the gunsight. We heard from Bob Kuntz of OralMajorityOnline.com, who declared his candidacy for the governorship of Florida and delineated all the reasons why Jeb Bush had to go. We heard from a woman who had been an observer during the recount, and she bore witness to the mob action and calumny that motivated this march...Soon enough, the moment arrived. The signs and banners were hoisted, and the crowd formed into a long column as we began our march to the Capitol steps. I took a spot at the vanguard, just behind the main Voters Rights March banner and next to an elderly group bearing a loud sign that read, "WWII Veterans Against Bush." An older woman with a bullhorn became the chant leader; she looked and sounded like a union organizer with many marches under her belt. In front of us all, a man bore a huge American flag, and another man made sure that none of us marched in front of it. The flag was to be first."

Bush: Who's Protesting and Why, BBC News, January 20, 2001

- The Philadelphia Inquirer reported "Bush may be president, but I know that when he goes to sit in the Oval Office for the first time, he's going to look out the window, and see and hear us," said Bob Rogers, a founder and organizer of yesterday's Voter March, a nonpartisan group protesting voter disenfranchisement and championing reforms to the Electoral College. "I don't want to personalize this," Rogers said of Bush. "I'm not going to scream 'Hail to the thief,' as others may do. But I will say, 'Respect the presidency,' because during this election, it was not respected." Inauguration Protests Largest Since Nixon in 1973 Published on Sunday, January 21, 2001 in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Common Dreams, by Angela Couloumbis.

- The Associated Press reported "Bob Rogers one of the organizers of the "Voter March" said the fact that Bush captured the White House even though Al Gore won the popular vote by 500,000 votes guarantied busloads of demonstrators. "These are moderate working people, motivated by anger, embarrassment, that kind of sentiment," he said. "They're wondering we can put a man on the moon and why can't we count the vote?"

Voter Rights March (May 19, 2001)

- CNN reported "Election reform advocates planned to rally in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, California, to push for changes in the nation's voting system and a "full investigation" of the 2000 presidential election

Saturday's demonstrations are organized by Voter March, the same group that brought thousands to Washington to protest Bush's inauguration in January. District police said at the time that the size of the demonstration rivaled those held at the Nixon inaugural in 1973. Voter March founder Louis Posner said that he expected a diverse crowd at Saturday's rally -- "male, female, old, young, black, white, many of the 'first-time' protesters," he said. Voter March seeks a reform of the election process—including possibly scrapping the Electoral College system that allowed Bush to prevail. "The indignation over the Supreme Court's highly partisan decision cuts across all social lines," Posner said. "Voter March continues to grow as more and more people commit their energies to ensuring that the rights of voters can never again be trampled."

Voters Rally for Electoral Reform, CNN Politics, May 19, 2001.

- The Democrat Underground reported: "The Voter Rights March to Restore Democracy had several specific purposes behind its inception: to bring attention to the fact that the November election was a catastrophe and that election reform is a moral American imperative, to point out that some 180,000 votes have yet to be recounted in Florida despite a requirement for same inked into the books of the Sunshine State's laws, to cast a glaring light upon the scurrilous actions taken by the United States Supreme Court on December 13, 2000.... We heard from Lou Posner, one of the central organizers of the march, who looked like a blue-suited roadie for Crosby, Stills & Nash, but had the eyes of an assassin with his mark in the gunsight. We heard from Bob Kuntz of OralMajorityOnline.com, who declared his candidacy for the governorship of Florida and delineated all the reasons why Jeb Bush had to go. We heard from a woman who had been an observer during the recount, and she bore witness to the mob action and calumny that motivated this march...Soon enough, the moment arrived. The signs and banners were hoisted, and the crowd formed into a long column as we began our march to the Capitol steps. I took a spot at the vanguard, just behind the main Voters Rights March banner and next to an elderly group bearing a loud sign that read, "WWII Veterans Against Bush." An older woman with a bullhorn became the chant leader; she looked and sounded like a union organizer with many marches under her belt. In front of us all, a man bore a huge American flag, and another man made sure that none of us marched in front of it. The flag was to be first."

Keep I just added some more references (and will add any more that I can when I get home from school in about 13-14 hours). Also you claim that "we know" that TF is a promotional web blog as if there was a massive consensus agreeing with that claim in that discussion. While evidence is leaning towards that it in fact one, there was only one other person who replied to that post, and they just said that it's bad when an article relies too heavily on any source, not just TF. I'd also rather not blindly agree with his claim "it looks like video blog site and is probably not a particularly good source." if he admits to only glancing at it (but at first glace) Like I said though, any problem with TF has been resolved; I added new references from different websites including GigaOM and Slate, and will continue to do so at a later time today.

Illegal content, per 16 C.F.R. § 255 of the US Code.

The FTC stated (in March 2013) that the Guides

"apply to “any advertising message . . . that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser . . . .” ⁹ The Guides refer to advertising without limiting the media in which it is disseminated.:⁹ 16 C.F.R. § 255.0(b)."

So, this Wikipedia article is an advertisement. My reading of the Guides is that the FTC indicates that a paid editor would be considered an endorser and liable for any false statements she made on wikipedia. Furthermore, the seller is also liable for misrepresentations made through the endorsement. (See Examples 3 and 5 on page 4 at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf.)

Most importantly, per § 255.5, (page 10): The paid position of the editor must be fully disclosed, because it might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement (i.e., the connection is not reasonably expected by the audience), so such CoI disclosure in the article as long as it contains such advertising is a legal requirement, but there is no such disclosure - there is no disclosure of compensation. (See Examples 7, 8, and 9 on page 12 at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf.) Elvey (talk) 09:51, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - So, what is your rationale for nominating this article? Too promotional? I'm not seeing any evidence that the article creator is a paid editor, either. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 11:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale is as stated, that this is undisclosed advertising. The reader does not know that this is an advertorial, commissioned by the subject. Translating this into Wikipedia-speak, I would suggest that even if the article is otherwise acceptable, it needs to be deleted under WP:IAR, which clearly applies to situations like this, in which improving Wikipedia requires ignoring our absurdly weak COI rules, which permit subjects to pay for people to create articles.

It was discussed here and here and here, apart from the talk page post in the article. Coretheapple (talk) 18:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, where is the evidence that EagerToddler39 (talk · contribs) is a paid editor? --| Uncle Milty | talk | 18:46, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close - This AFD is apparently an attempt to force policy discussion, rather than discuss the suitability of the article for WP. If the article needs to be cleaned up, then do that. If the subject doesn't meet the notability guidelines, then discuss that. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 18:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In the previous AfDs I've seen related to paid editing, the tendency has been to consider the article on its own merits, rather than delete on the basis of who wrote it. (Assuming the author wasn't blocked or banned). In this case, it doesn't seem overly promotional, and appears to meet the GNG. The possibility that Elvey raises, that paid advocacy may be illegal under US law, is worth pursuing, but AfD isn't the place for it. I hope that the WMF's legal team is looking into the issue, and it would be very interesting to see an office action banning paid advocacy. If legal advice from the WMF suggests that the problem Elvey raises is valid, then I suspect AfD will be moot, and this would become a CSD concern. - Bilby (talk) 23:13, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mild Keep. I listed this for deletion back in March 2010 (see the edit comments prior to that one, three or four of them) but back then there was nowhere near as much press copy on it and it was being heavily edited and worked on by a blatantly COI SPA who was intent on WP:OWNing it. For better or worse, it's now been in the news, and though (like most company articles) a sort of advertising, it's beyond the control of their ad firm now and has a certain notability. If other coffee rival coffee chains are here, I can't see why this one can't be (I know there's that guideline/principle about "because this exists, doesn't mean this can). But there's a certain kind of meat here now. So keep it, there's way more blatant spam and coi out there than this, and so much OR and SYNTH it makes me choke at times.Skookum1 (talk) 06:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating 2014 (number), which lists no properties of the number at all. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not even an assertion of notability for 2014 and 2013 is just happenstance. Neonchameleon (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both. As the editor who added the two properties in question (removing some even-more-boring properties) I agree that they are not enough to meet Wikipedia:Notability (numbers) (which asks for three properties, not just two, and asks that they be interesting properties). I think a reasonable proxy for interestingness is that the number in question be among the first half-dozen values in an OEIS sequence tagged with "nice" (or alternatively one that is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article). 2013 is indeed early in the two OEIS sequences listed, but they are not nice. And I was unable to find any better properties to list. A similar search for 2014 turns up two properties labeled as nice that I think are still too specialized to be truly interesting (area under Motzkin excursions, and indexes of dodecahedral numbers that are sums of two other dodecahedral numbers), and that's it. So again, not three interesting properties. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:16, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This topic fails GNG. All sources relate to the shooting, not the "reactions" to it. As such thats WP:SYNTH to try and craft an article about it. Stuff happened because of this shooting - which means it belongs in the main shooting article. Beerest 2 talk 02:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep per WP:SUMMARY and WP:SPLITTING. this is indeed content about the shooting, but there is a lot of the content and putting it all into the main article would swamp it. spinning off sub articles for detailed contents is entirely appropriate and normal. Gaijin42 (talk) 02:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a valid content split. The main article was too long so I split this information out to its own article.

The French and Spanish economy during the Thirty Years' War[edit]

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

This is a huge slab of original research, personal opinions and inaccurate speculations. The whole thing is an essay based on the misconception that the Thirty Years' War was fought between France and Spain. Although other countries (including France and Spain) did send some troops to fight, the Thirty Years' War was a religious conflict within Germany. France and Spain backed opposite sides in the conflict, and treating them as a single economic entity in this context makes no sense. In addition, this essay makes many ludicrous claims (for instance, that Sweden - whose entire population at the time was about that of Paris - was richer than France with her huge population and vast American empire). Although the interventions of France and Spain in Germany did ultimately lead to the Franco-Spanish War, that was a conflict which went on until 1659 so obviously isn't the conflict meant by the author of this article (who repeatedly refers to 1648, the year the Thirty Years' War ended). Likewise, although the economy of the Iberian peninsula collapsed in the 1620s this was a result of Dutch privateering wrecking Portuguese maritime trade, not of the war in Germany.

This is a true orphan article, without a single incoming link and with page view statistics that can be entirely explained away by search engine sweeps, which is probably how it's managed to avoid notice up to now. This article is on a topic that probably isn't legitimate (the very concept of a "Spanish economy" is questionable in a period when Spain was a multi-state empire spread across five continents and including places as diverse as Patagonia, Amsterdam and Macau), and is so full of errors and unsourced speculation that even if it were kept, it would need to be completely blanked and rewritten.

Keep per WP:PROF 4, "made a significant impact in the area of higher education".

Delete per WP:ARTIST. Looking at the sources added by Kkiissel, #1: art.gov.ge is a "systematic" database of all Georgian artists.[39] The bar for inclusion is thus very low sort of like a phone book of every artist in Georgia not a reliable marker of notability. #2: Saatchi website looks like a combination commercial website and social media site which Giorgi himself maintains - if Giorgi was profiled in their "One to Watch" feature that would be something, but he is not. The source isn't independently notable as is. #3 demo.ge are sources by Giorgi not about Giorgi, thus can't be used to assess notability. And that's it basically, no reliable or indepedent sources available. No profiles in art magazines, no newspaper articles, no exhibition write-ups, etc.. all the typical things one usually finds for notable artists. -- GreenC 16:31, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. art.gov.ge is digital database of Georgian modern and contemporary artists which is initiated by Ministry of Culture and Georgian National Museum. The list of Giorgi's exhibitions is available on this website. Write-ups about Giorgi's exhibitions or published book are available in Georgian printed media, but not in English. Demo.ge is contemporary art portal managed by a third party. --Kkiissel--Kkiissel (talk) 21:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can only vote one time, but your welcome to reply to my vote. The database didn't seem selective, just evidence that he is a Georgian artist, it's a list of all Georgian artists. What is Giorgi's website? Georigan sources are OK since we have Google Translate to verify sources, or if the sources are not online it can be cited anyway.

I'd be inclined to keep this one - it's pretty close to us and is only just below the magic 6th magnitude marker. this suggests it has been the subject of some discussion already (as a binary system there'd be accurate material on how massive the system is somewhere, which is better than single star systems).

List of Scottish Premiership football club owners[edit]

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

PROD removed without reason. Although the Scottish Premiership and its member clubs are clearly notable subjects, I think collating the club owners in a standalone list is not a notable subject. There are also problems with WP:V; some of the information is not publicly available as some clubs are private companies, and reports of individual net worths are inconsistent. Some of the clubs are also moving towards fan ownership (e.g. Motherwell), rendering a list like this obsolete. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 22:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If you can have this then this list has the same merit.--Egghead06 (talk) 04:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. At the top level of English football, you are mostly talking about multi-billionaires whose wealth (and ownership of the club concerned) is greatly publicised. At lower levels, which are more comparable to the majority of Scottish clubs, not so much. As can be seen from that table. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:05, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the fact that clubs can be bought and sold by millionaires on a whim is an important subject (though some of the rich and powerful try to hide this). That some clubs are now going to community/fan ownership highlights how significant an issue this can be (and those clubs in fan ownership can be listed). Though yes, the list does need some more sources for the unreferenced parts. If you followed the guidelines at WP:BEFORE you might have found some. --Vclaw (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)#[reply]

Did it occur to you that might have already tried that? To give an example of how thoroughly hopeless it is to write an article on this subject, the most recent list in a reliable source (the FourFourTwo 2011/12 Rich List) gives the wealth of Vladimir Romanov (#47) as £100M.

There's no need to base it on a single list, different parts can come from different sources. There's plenty of more accurate/up to date reliable sources about the ownership of Hearts for example.

Which parts of the article do you think are not verifiable? If there are no verifiable sources for part, it can listed as unknown. There are plenty of other lists with parts unknown/incomplete, that is not a reason to delete them.--Vclaw (talk) 12:38, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Owning a club is one of the ways that the super-rich waste their money about. I say waste, because most football clubs lose money, so that the investment is more like a donation. By making the club a subsidiary of a profitable company, they can in effect reduce its group profits and hence their tax. In effect, HMRC is thus subsidising football on behalf of all of us taxpayers. The ownership of football clubs is certainly a notable subject, and the article's existence thus is justified.

Do you have any examples of this in relation to the Scottish Premiership? Otherwise that sounds like original research to me. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:17, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - argument to delete appears to simply be that it's not notable. However no case is made for why it's not notable, and on face value, seems notable. Nfitz (talk) 03:33, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sex and Crime: Oliver's Strange Journey[edit]

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

Completely fails WP:NBOOK. The SPA that created the article claimed it was from "Westhoff Publishing". I can't find that publisher, but Amazon says this is from "CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform".[40] In other words, self-published. Couldn't locate any significant coverage of the book by reliable third party sources. No ranking in Amazon. Nothing at all to indicate that this book has done anything that gets it past NBOOK.

Delete Not even in Worldcat -- apparently self published. I have also nominated the page on the author for deletion, as all that he has done is written a few self-published books. DGG ( talk ) 04:09, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - having hunted around, I can't seem to find any sources covering the work, which is more important than who the publisher is (although the publisher is, of course, indicative). Ironholds (talk) 05:19, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I wasn't clear. The publisher wasn't really part of the reason. I mentioned it as an indication that there may be willful deception. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:45, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Totally; I wasn't trying to be snide, just clear about what I'd done. I trust you enough not to assume you just went "not heard of it, baleet!" ;p. Ironholds (talk) 05:46, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The book was just published a few days ago, so Wordcat doesn't have it in their catalog yet. The Kindle edition of the book is currently #1 for the topic drug dependency on Amazon.com: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=792472497432755&set=a.789974017682603.1073741829.787081267971878&type=1&theater — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jess Franken (talk • contribs) 15:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC) — Jess Franken (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

That's not exactly true. It's no. 1 among the grand total of 4 free books in their classification drug dependency. (there are 100s of paid ones, including everything important.) If no library buys it, WorldCat will never have it. That's the situation for about 95% of self-published books. The 5% that do show up in worldcat, characteristically are in two or three libraries where the author donates them and they decide to be friendly to a local author and catalog it. Of course, a few self published books each year do actually become notable, but he presumption is otherwise. DGG ( talk ) 16:45, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And, of course, simply being in WorldCat doesn't make the book notable. It proves it exists.Niteshift36 (talk) 19:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
