  • Comment - you can't just lump this guy into the same category as any other random candidate for the other parliamentary parties (because yes I agree, most of them are not yet worthy of a wikipedia article according the current widespread interpretation of "notability"). A somewhat vaguely closer comparison would be with a candidate who gets selected for a safe seat for that party, and thus is most likely going to become an MP (unlike most candidates who stand). However even that comparison I'd feel is still many orders of magnitude off from correct, as he is the number one key candidate for a party that apparently they're resting all their hopes on (or so it seems from the media reports), and in an electorate that is already getting a huge amount of media attention on because it is an electorate that is going to (probably?) determine the next PM of NZ and this person is the number one ranking candidate in the race by a long way.

"There seems to be plenty of refs" doesn't asses the quality of the sources. per WP:V Wikipedia should cite third party, reliable sources (i.e. not ACT website or right-wing blogs like Whale Oil and Kiwiblog). Adabow (talk) 04:35, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • "Maybe" a standalone article if he wins the electorate?? :-/ I'm astonished anybody could view it like that, as without a doubt if he wins the election he is worthy of a standalone article. Not ifs, maybes, or buts about it. I think maybe you're forgetting the significance of his electorate and this election. Mathmo Talk 05:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Comment - if he were to be returned as an MP, he would meet notability requirements, as MPs are inherently notable. No question about that. Schwede66 06:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Tadd Roosevelt[edit]

Cannot find multiple reliable sources can be found that cover this man in depth, therefore failing WP:N and WP:GNG guidelines. Nothing notable about him is mentioned, either. The only sources that do talk about him only mention him briefly or are simply things like birth/death records. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

However significant of coverage that article might be, WP:GNG requires multiple reliable sources that go in depth to be notable enough for an article. Perhaps I underestimated the depth of that New York Times entry, but there isn't much that goes into him extensively. Biographies of Astors and Roosevelts that I've found only mention him briefly if at all. If more could be found on the mentioned scandal, by all means add it. However, I searched extensively and found little to nothing. The article you linked about Sadie being charged with slander only briefly mentions him, so while it does help indicate their relationship status it doesn't establish him as notable. I also reviewed the sources, and they don't support any scandal. We also need to know what he was noted for, whether he was a socialite, businessman, politician, philanthropist, banker, criminal, actor, author, con artist, or anything. His Astor-Roosevelt affiliations alone aren't enough. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 00:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well you see i've added some other New York Times archive items, though I didn't include all info from them and did not resolve all discrepancies vs. info that was in the article (some of which you've removed, in edit conflicts with me). I think the scandal might have been simply that he got involved with Sadie, then quit Harvard and married her, variously reported as when he was a freshman at Harvard and when he was a senior at Harvard. Compare this article vs. that for his father, James Roosevelt Roosevelt. The father, as Secretary of the Navy, is more obviously notable, but the father article has even less sourcing. There's a link for Roosevelt family papers. I expect that there is plenty of sourcing available about both, with substantial primary sources and with secondary sources in biographical books. The New York Times archive is just what I happen to be able to search fairly easily right now; the other sources would be off-line. I stay with "Keep" vote on this basis, and again think both these articles are useful. --doncram 01:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would think there exist some commentary, similar to this March 16, 2005 New York Times article about "Roosevelts and the Quirks of Destiny", by Joseph Berger, about different paths taken by grandchildren of FDR & Eleanor, about Tadd vs. FDR & others of their generation, too. --doncram 01:29, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You've definitely had more luck on finding info on Tadd than I have, that's for sure. Sorry for any edit conflicts, though. As reliable as New York Times is, we should probably include other sources in addition if this article is to be kept. Also, the link you just provided is actually not talking about Tadd, but one of FDR and Eleanor's grandsons. As for father Rosey, he is definitely more notable and worthy of keeping, but I haven't got around to finding more sources for him yet. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 01:38, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, the "Quirks" article is about a later set of Roosevelt descendents, not including Tadd, as I tried to indicate upfront. My comment that there likely would exist some commentary about Tadd vs. FDR & others, in the same vein as the Quirks article, is speculation / an educated guess by me. --doncram 02:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Perhaps there is. If you can find it, feel free to add. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 02:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Historically notable..... for what, exactly? Also, I have never tried to own articles..... XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Haven't you read the article? It makes it quite clear what his historical notability is. Almost as clear as your ownership behavior. Are you trying to get rid of this article because the subject is a blot on the escutcheon of the Roosevelt family you obviously very much admire? BMK (talk) 02:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, I have read the article. No, I am not trying to get rid of "blots". This was nominated for deletion because it did not explain what exactly he was known for other than his family affiliations. For example, what was his profession? What was he noted for in society (other than being an Astor and a Roosevelt)?? There have been additions regarding him being arrested, so perhaps he was known for involvement with crimes/scandals. If this is the case, his controversies need to be expanded. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 02:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Notability can take many forms, and does not require extensive information about every aspect of a person's life. Many articles on scientists, for instance, have little or no mention of their personal lives. Some people -- we call them celebrities -- can be notable just for being well-known. Tadd Roosevelt falls into that category, somewhat, because of his family connections, his personal activities and the obvious interest people had in what he was doing, or did, at the time he was alive. We don't have to know everything there is to know about him to consider him to be notable enough for an article, nor do we have to think he was a good person or valuable person or a well-rounded one ("notability" is not a judgment about worth), we just have to know that something about his life fulfills the notability requirements. BMK (talk) 03:05, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm sure many aspects of people's personal lives remain unknown to the public. As for "being notable for being well-known", was he perhaps a well-known socialite like his grandmother Lina? Was he involved in any high-profile controversies (not too sure how high-profile his relationship with Sadie was) like other relatives he had were?? As previously indicated, family affiliations alone are not enough to meet notability criteria per WP:INHERIT. If he was noted for any activities, those need expansion. Also, WP:BLP1E indicates that being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article.XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 03:19, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Socialite was a job back then! Seriously ... if half the famous for being famous people were eliminated, WP would be a much more boring place. Bearian (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Perhaps I should've stated my question differently. I simply was asking if he was known as a socialite or con artist or something. I was by no means saying socialites aren't notable, especially given how his grandmother Lina Astor was a prominent socialite, and his first cousins Ava and Jakey Astor were also well-known socialites (with Jakey being the famous "Titanic baby" and getting involved in an estate controversy with his sister-in-law Brooke over Vincent Astor's will). If he was a socialite, this needs to be sourced. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:09, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I cleaned up the article and tried to find reliable and independent sources to support notability, but it was fruitless. Essentially, all sources are download sites of his films.

This page has been tagged as not meeting Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies since 2011, and I agree. I think it is time to delete this page. While Carpenter may be an interesting in a genealogical way, he is not noteworthy as leader in the LDS Church (there are hundreds of thousands of Bishop) nor is he noteworthy as a Utah pioneer (there are hundreds of thousands of Utah Pioneers). Unless someone can improve this page quickly it should be deleted. --ARTEST4ECHO (talk/contribs) 16:36, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The problem is that at no time has Glendale been a significant enough place that being mayor of it will make a person notable. I will point out the claim "there are hundreds of thousands of bishops" is not fully correct. At present there are just under 30,000 wards and branches, the total number of LDS bishops ever might exceed 100,000, but there were not nearly so many in the 19th-century. Still, we have never agreed that they all merit having an article. Not even all 19th-century stake presidents merit articles, although since many also served as members of territorial legislatures and the like they often do.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:24, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You are missing the point. Just using the LDS Biographical Encyclopedia (about 1901)and Pioneers and prominent men of Utah (1913) did not come to even half of the some 900 or so Bishops estimated to have served from 1848 to 1900. They had to meet more than one criteria to make those books. Rinky Dink town mayor/bishops were not included by themselves. It is the combination of pioneer (twice in this case), bishop, leader and such that made the subject notable in history and documented by others before us. I agree with user Robert Horning above that the article in question is just a stub or start of what might be found on the subject. I have changed by postion from KEEP to STRONG KEEP. Jrcrin001 (talk) 00:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment: Only volume 1 of the Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia can legitimately be used to establish notability, as volumes 2 and 3 were at least partially vanity publications, where people could pay for placement of text and pictures. As for Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, criteria for inclusion was in part that the person have immigrated to Utah between 24 July 1847 & 30 December 1868, qualifying them as Mormon pioneers; there are many people in this category that are not notable to WP standards. The "Prominent" criteria was only for those that came to Utah after the railroad, which Carpenter did not (came to Utah in 1857). -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 18:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No indication that subject is notable according to WP:CREATIVE, WP:NACTOR or WP:BIO. Even his IMDB is almost empty: it says he directed one film, is filming another, and had a minor role in a Sam Mendes film.

  • Comment Allow me to clarify: I certainly wasn't saying that IMDB should be used as a yardstick for notability, quite the opposite. As noted above, I did search for his name in both Bulgarian and English, and what came back was mostly in Bulgarian. This was mostly brief mentions of his name in long lists of directors at film festivals. I could find no substantial pieces about him: just passing mentions. However that search link you provided above did turn up this and this and this. I'm not sure what went wrong when I tried to search yesterday, but it looks as if I might need to withdraw the nomination. Ruby Murray 15:22, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per longstanding consensus, city councillors are not notable enough to pass WP:POLITICIAN in most cases, except for two specific circumstances: (a) the city is a major, internationally famous "world city" with a population approaching or above a million people (and even then, this criterion extends only to that city itself, not to smaller cities within its metropolitan area — so the fact that Gatineau happens to be adjacent to Ottawa, a city which does meet this criterion, does not boost the notability of Gatineau's city councillors beyond that of any other city the size of Gatineau itself), or (b) the person has established notability for something more than just being a city councillor alone (e.g. going on to serve in the federal or provincial legislatures; emerging as a national or international spokesperson on a political issue; or passing a different notability rule, such as the ones for writers, sports figures or businesspeople.) None of these people actually meet either standard, however; all six are "notable" only as city councillors in a city not large enough for its city councillors to count as notable.

Additionally, most of these articles cite only primary sources (i.e. the city's own website) which cannot demonstrate notability at all, while a few cite only local news coverage which fails to demonstrate that they've gotten past point b above. Either way, none of them are sufficiently sourced to demonstrate that the person has actually gotten past WP:POLITICIAN in any substantive way. Delete.

Please review the account, the article has references sources from sites such as VH1, and MTV. Substantial is an important person as a performer and activist, and the numerous sources back that up.

Good question. Okayplayer is a bit more than a blog; in the hip-hop world they're a pretty big deal. Here is their staff team page (at least one of whom has an article here). I did a quick G-search for "okayplayer reports" and turned up a couple of hits: Spin [15], Fact [16] and (ahem) East Bay Express [17]. So other (reputable, reliable) sites seem to consider them reliable. Granted, I'm not overwhelmed by that, but I think it's enough for them to be considered reliable here. — sparklism hey! 19:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seems to fail WP:NBOOK, being sourced only to a single (anonymous?) review and a nice personal letter from a University of Oxford professor. McGeddon (talk) 08:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • The problem is that it's incredibly common for people to write up small blurbs and the like, usually for the purpose of putting it on the book jacket. The letter doesn't really count towards notability since it's really just someone thanking the author for sending him a book. It's not actually a review, it's a personal correspondence. The writer may expect that a snippet might be placed on the jacket as a blurb, but only with her explicit consent- which isn't actually on the letter. In any case, this letter doesn't count as an actual review. Now if the professor were to publish a review in one of the various places that would be considered a reliable source such as a peer reviewed journal or even one of the official student newspapers of Oxford, then that would count towards notability. But until that happens, this letter does not count towards notability. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:05, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Basically put, letters like this are standard fare. Most will receive them in some form or fashion, as it's the polite thing to do. Because they're so commonly distributed to various authors and publishers, we need more than this to show that it's more than just a polite brushoff. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:09, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I've cleaned the article so there shouldn't be any BLP with the author's article now. There is notability enough for him to pass GNG, I believe. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:00, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No credible assertion signifying the notability of the article. No appropriate refs. Only one and that too to you tube (not allowed). Thus proposing its deletion under criteria A7. Might have nominated it for speedy deletion if it's category (television-related articles) was listed in A7. Also, the article seems to be a borderline advertisement, and is clearly not written neutrally. Also it can be clearly seen that the article contains (in fact its based upon) original research.

As the subject of this wikipage I agree I am not a notable person, however I humbly suggest the walks do merit notation as they impacted many during their completion. I have just now figured out how to add or edit content and to be honest have avoided reading my wiki and any articles found on the web as it is still "raw" and too soon. I understand the subject of a wiki shouldn't be able to scrub or direct content on their page to keep it correct and bias free.. but if I could suggest the creation of a page for "One Man's Walk" which is really two walks that might make more sense. I am thankful this page was created for me (unsolicited) as it enabled family/friends of US Servicemen and women who were deployed or on the memorial panel easier to send info/links ahead of the walk to other families. Hundreds of people saw the panel as a direct result of the wikipage and I am grateful. The walk still has a final leg to be considered complete, and that's will come after OEF is over and no more faces can be added to the memorial panel. Thank you for your consideration.

Tiger I for one am grateful for your input and thoughts regarding this wiki article and am hoping that we can get more input on this. As suggested above by another editor I agree that some additional information and I quote "BLP information" would be good. (BLP stands for Biography of Living Person). I will research and see what I can find that may be added to this article now that more time has passed there may be some additional sources out there containing information that can be used.

Non-notable poetry publication, with a high degree of promotionalism. The references in the article aren't--just look at them: apparently Brown University has a copy of an issue, the Electronic Poetry Center at UBuffalo lists it, as does Mom's Writers Club ([21]) and a bunch of other directory-style websites. Google Books adds directory listings such as this one, but produces nothing of any substance. Google Web adds more links and directories, but again, no substantial discussion or even a mention in a reliable source. The text itself is promotional enough, really, to warrant a speedy nomination, but since the creator (and editor of the journal) is in hot water at ANI right now I thought it would be more fair to let the community deal with this. Drmies (talk) 00:17, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

☛ Forgive me. if writing here out of turn is a gross violation of Wikipedia rights and an indefinitely blockable offense :), but I felt compelled to make a rebuttal, having cleaned up the article and its sources, so here goes:
  1. text itself is promotional enough, really, to warrant a speedy nomination ➝ removed. Care to reassess?
  2. sources were pruned, updated, most were removed.
  3. one source establishing notability (according to Tokyogirl79 down the page, an opinion I concur with) was added
  4. Brown university does not "apparently have a copy of an issue". This is a gross mischaracterization of the state of the world. It was almost a lie at the time you nominated this article, and with my providing a link to the elaborated library record, it is now refuted. Brown University clearly has every issue of Agnieszka's Dowry ever printed. Moreover, Brown University keeps it under lock and key, permitting only by-appointment visitation. It is clearly thought by Brown University to be worthy of inclusion in a notable collection of small press Americana, and the fact that it is at Brown in this capacity is a mega-plus in establishing its notability on English Wikipedia. So, please take that mischaracterization back.
And that would be all, for now. Cordially, --Mareklug talk 20:32, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  1. The text is still promotional. Most of it looks like it could have been cut 'n' pasted from the journal's website. That said, you should probably focus your efforts on establishing notability.
  2. At least two of the remaining need to be removed. See below.
  3. "[P]ossibly help show notability" does not mean "establish[es] notability". We don't include sources that are only passing mentions.
  4. Having done a fair amount of research in these kinds of archives, I can tell you from personal experience that they're filled with non-notable books. That's not a bad thing: archival books can have immense value and significance independent of wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, the fact that only six libraries hold the print version correlates well with non-notability. Adding holding information to the references is not appropriate, and that cite should be removed.

  1. Thank you for your level re-assessment. Could you explicitly say which refs are to be chucked?
  2. Also, I agree about there being plenty of non-notable stuff in such Americana omnibus collections, and a cursory perusal of random entries that come up when one clicks the collection link, bears this out, so no special knowledge or having used them is required. :)
  3. However, independently of that, I still argue that Agnieszka's Dowry is notable among librarians (the Brown reference establishes that, showing the full 13 volume collection), critics (we have Sara Russell and Annette Hyder, both not fly-by-night critics, unlike the references removed already), reviewers (the Kansas academic book appears to be one -- I need to get my hands on it; but interlibrary loan timeframe will exceed the AfD window surely), and of course, notable poets, some of whom 20-10 years ago placed their early work in it, and today are famous. Caron Andregg comes to mind. I can easily produce others. Don't be discouraged by their red link status on English Wikipedia. Our poetry coverage is a tad less complete than our Idols (TV series) or pokémon ones...
  4. I will indeed try to unearth RSes that incontrovertibly establish notability.
  5. At any rate, if and when you delete this lovely part of Wikipedia, or perhaps userify it as a subpage for me to keep hacking at (leaving behind gigabytes of dross in main space coming not even close in merit to the social value and encyclopedic value of Agnieszka's Dowry article), it will have been in the best possible shape, far better shape than when put on AfD a few days ago, for which I thank everyone -- and fit for future undeleting. :)
  6. I also disagree on your promotionality assessment pertaining to the present state of text, its style, content, coverage. By now it is all itemized, dispassionate facts, only the salient ones. So what if the write-up on Wikipedia may fit the official website. I take that as a compliment, having written the official website content eons ago. I hope that the official website does not contain garbage. Truly. I took out all the adjectives out of the Wikipedia Agnieszka's Dowry article. I redacted all the fluff, and the frankly sloppy writing of mine, unworthy of me, on Wikipedia or off Wikipedia. If facts left behind are promotional, Dear Goddess, what is not? --Mareklug talk 09:18, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • As to promotionality: Prairie Schooner has been around since 1926 and (according to worldcat) is held in 618 libraries. UNebraska put out a history back in 1955. It's a big deal in literary circles. For all that, the meat of the article is all of five sentences.
Another example: The News Letter of the LXIVmos. Very obscure, didn't quite last three years. Yet it was important enough that both an index and a facsimile edition have been published. That article is all of eight sentences.
You're proposing a far larger article for AgD. That's fine, if you had the sources to back it up. You don't, so the article comes across as having been written by a student who forgot to study for the exam and so will fill up the empty page with as many facts as she can recall. We're supposed to be summarizing reliable sources, not duplicating them. If I was going to make this article AfD-proof, the first thing I'd do is cut it down to 200 words and only add to that when I could source each additional sentence. All of the lists should be cut, as well as the ephemera ("No thank-you notes.").
Hmmm.... ok, I've got 30 minutes before my first concall. Let me take a stab at rewriting it....

Could not resist doing a quickie 4-minute Google search, an operation that clearly eludes all of you Dear Wikipedians:
➞ and finally, this:
  • Please remember to assume WP:GOODFAITH on behalf of others and be polite when trying to make a point. Sometimes people just miss things and sometimes they do see sources like these and they fail WP:RS in some form or fashion, which is why they didn't list them here or try to argue for a keep. Now offhand some of the sources do look usable, such as the Poetry Life & Times, but others such as the blog entry can't show notability. Most blogs can't, so this isn't a slight against the person writing it. When it comes to some of the book sources, the problem is that they're all trivial mentions that are either routine "thanks for the help" mentions or they're possibly an advert in a magazine. There are also some brief mentions in relation to something someone has done, but none of them are really the sort that would give notability. The only one I saw that could possibly help show notability was this book, but we'd have to know the context to really tell you if this is a good in-depth mention or just a brief one-off. There was another one that mentioned it insanely briefly, but it's a trivial mention at best. Now when it comes to this book, this series of books were part of a now infamous series of works put out by Books LLC, who tried to charge hundreds of dollars for reprinting Wikipedia articles. It's far from being a reliable source to show notability. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:33, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
For what it is worth, no one has EVER lodged an ad on behalf of AgD or A Small Garlic Press. We just don't do that. One problem is that by Internet standards AgD is ...ancient. There used to be a lot of interesting reliable sources, academic online ones, such as Walter Annenberg School of Communications at UCLA, which listed the "prestigious" literary magazines, and AgD was there. Also, a University of Texas website that reviewed the AgD for its novel aspects and quality of poetry. Where will we find these things? Do note that AgD rejects more than 99% of all submissions it gets. The current issue was started in 2008 and is barely 1/3 full ...in 2014. AgD is a fossil, and no one at Wired or Salon will bother themselves with it. The thank yous from notable poets in their published notable poetry books are the best we can do, these are echoes.

As Tokyogirl observed, many of the linked Google Book snippets are just not helpful--thank you notes and mentions (like the one in Haiku in English). The bit from A View from the Loft appears to be an announcement of sorts (I ordered it through ILL, just to make sure). The Literary Magazine Review snippet and the one from Choice are worth tracking down and I requested them through ILL--I hope they can get them, since Mareklug chose to give us Google results (and thus no article titles) rather than an actual list of Works Cited. As for the old "what the hell do you know about literary journals", well, one could counter with a. more than you think and b. what the hell do you know? But rather than respond with more acid, I'll see what comes in from ILL; until then, I see no reason to change my mind. Drmies (talk) 21:07, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK, one review is in: John Roche, "Poetry on the Internet: A Survey" (Choice (2003) 40.8: 1287ff.

Drmies (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You may be mistaken about this for the case of specialized collections, and this is one. As far as Harris Collection of American Poetry and Plays (Brown University). Periodicals treats it, we are talking about 13 books that Brown asked for, paid for, and locked away. The library does not make any of them available under interlibrary loan, and neither can one order any online, to be readied to be viewable at such and such place at such and such time at such and such library. One must petition the special collections librarian, and make an appointment well in advance. There are not many specialized collections of Americana held across the world; this is one. LOC has all the volumes too, also non-circulating. As does Utah State Library. And not to put a too fine point on it, but you wrote "rarely are", and this is the very "rarely'" when they are. Then there is the American Haiku Society with its own specialized library collection at one university only, and Agnieszka's Dowry is explicitly listed for that: http://www.worldcat.org/title/specimen-collection-of-haiku-periodicals-titles-a-g/oclc/58949187 Anyway, I sternly suspect you had no inkling what you were really deleting, after all this came to light. --Mareklug talk 09:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If all this is true it is rather surprising that one can't find a mention of that special status anywhere. I suggest you keep your stern suspicions to yourself. Drmies (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Special status at Brown? Click on the link next to BY APPOINTMENT, and it tell the story as I quoted it above, listing categories of access, and what BY APPOINTMENT entails. I suggest you improve your online research efficacy. --Mareklug talk 09:12, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"By appointment" means it's a smaller archive without enough users to justify full-time staff. Larger archives (such as the Harry Ransom Center at UT Austin) are large enough to support multiple full-time staff and appointments aren't necessary. The non-loan provisions are due to the difficulty of replacing the material, not (necessarily) its value. None of this has anything to do with notability, of course. Garamond Lethet

Well, if your drastic cut saves the article from deletion, so be it. But you only wrote about the topology and briefly sketched the content. Content that you did sketch omits any mention of "Letters to Agnieszka" which synthesize/conjure Agnieszka as the author sees fit. That seems important enough to retain, even if only in a very very very pithy way. Moving along, the software engineering that went into the design is completely omitted. Nothing about being able to traverse the thing in a textual browser without hitting a tab or using a mouse, essentially via repetitive 2-key stroke. That is completely, ridiculously idiosyncratic. No one has ever implemented such a way to browse a heavily graphical web installation, ever, poetry magazine or no. Finally, on a formal point, LOC was very interested in our application for an ISSN for the web installation and reusing it for paper issues. No one has ever done that. We talked to them for weeks about it, and in the end they reached deep into their own requirement bag and told us how to make that happen -- through the Created timestamp. Again, no one has ever done this in 1995. LOC has never before given out an ISSN that is reused for web and paper (paper also gets ISBN). So, you tossed all that. Unfair. If the article is ever EXPANDED to a GA or, gack, an FA/, all that would have to be re-added, by the very definition of what constitutes a GA or an FA. So, help me see it some other way, but basically you lobotomized a decent version of a longstanding Wikipedia article to save it from an asshole process. Sorry to be frank, but it is what it is -- political expediency. --Mareklug talk 01:30, 22 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Asshole process or not, Garamond Lethe and I have been editing such articles for years. All the stuff you say isn't of any kind of relevance here unless reliable, secondary sources make it so. Garamond's edits actually makes it a lot more likely that the article is kept because--may I speak frankly? you usually do--an enormous amount of fluffy, self-promotional, excessively detailed, and frankly wankerish detail has been trimmed, and now we can finally see the forest for the trees. Garamond trimmed a list of God knows what, and you're unhappy, but now we can finally see that there are in fact a couple of possibly reliable, in-depth, and helpful references.

Your magazine will not become notable per our definition because of all these really cool ISSN blah blah thingies; it will be deemed notable because we have found reliable sources that mention it as important. So, I added a reference with some information from a highly reliable publication, Choice. You're welcome! I might even change to "keep", depending on what ILL delivers to me--but if I do, it won't be because of your arguments; it will be in spite of your words and your attitude. Political expediency my ass--this was good editing.

I did a quick Google and did not find anything that established notability. But I will also admit that I am not infallible. Sometimes I miss things and I did not spend hours looking for sources. If someone comes up with good sources that establish notability I will be more than happy to withdraw the nom for the original No Place for Disgrace. This one though, doesn't have enough to justify a stand alone article. There would have to be some strong evidence for notability independent of the original article. Otherwise I would suggest a merge and redirect. On a side note and just for clarity, we are talking about albums here, not a band. I have no idea if the band is notable or not.

This is a POV fork of 2014 Crimean crisis with a POV title. It makes the statement

On 26 February 2014, Russian-speaking gunmen in Russian military uniform, said to be Russian soldiers, established a checkpoint between the major Crimean cities of Sevastopol and Simferopol.

which is supposedly supported by articles on the CNN and Globe and Mail Web sites. What CNN actually says is : "A CNN team in the area encountered more than one pro-Russian militia checkpoint on the road from Sevastopol to Simferopol." The Globe and Mail says that a Russian flag was flown at one checkpoint, and that there was an armoured personnel carrier there, but says that the armed men there called themselves "volunteers". Neither says they were wearing military uniforms.

It also says "The UN Security Council held a special meeting on Russia's aggression against Ukraine", with a Yahoo News story cited. The story uses the phrase "the escalating crisis in Ukraine", only using the term "Russian aggression" when quoting the Ukrainian government. —rybec 07:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

KEEP. There is a difference between both conflicts. The 2014 Crimean crisis is a civil conflict, while Russian intervention in Crimea is military one. Starting March 1, both countries have practically entered a war. 24.201.209.74 (talk) 07:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Russian Foreign Ministry on it's website, says that its' troops stationed in The Crimea are protecting certain locations, according to agreements. [22] This doesn't make it an occupation. There have been no reports of resistance in The Crimea, I would therefore struggle to call this either an invasion or a war. I would keep the article but change the language to be less provocative.--Jimmydreads (talk) 07:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This article should either be deleted or merged with 2014 Crimean crisis and have POV issues cleaned up, per my comments in said article's talk page. It doesn't take a keen eye to see that this is a POV fork representing western-Ukrainian views of the crisis. Plenty of reliable sources use terms like "Russian aggression" and "sovereignty" etc. but this is not the same thing as an outright military invasion/war.

On March 1, two Baltic Fleet anti-submarine vessels entered the Sevastopol Bay.[1] Russian Army has been increasing its presence without consulting with anybody.

Wait, subjectivity is allowed on this page? Okay, well, in that case, I don't agree with you.

I edited the article to bring it more in line with what it should be and added a few more sources that might be useful. Imo, there is enough out there to write an article documenting oil field workers and all the things that go along with that. I found an article talking about how men are skipping college to work in dangerous oil fields. Another said that oil field work is increasing sex trafficking. I think there is enough for oil field families or oil field wives to have a section in it, if someone is interested in creating it. Bali88 (talk) 18:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I still don't think it's notable/encyclopedic even if they are identifiable as a group. If you notice Army Wives is an article about the show, and there's no article about the concept of being an army wife. Same thing goes for Military wives, not article on "military families" or anything of that sort, even though the group of families of people in the military are almost certainly more of a recognizable group than families of people who work in oil fields. The best analogy I can see is Military brat / Military brat (U.S. subculture), which is effectively about the families of people in the military, but that's at least a very common term. It's not clear to me that even if it's got a little coverage that it deserves an article about the concept. 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 22:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not familiar enough with the topic to know how notable it is, but maybe some editor will pop up with an interest in the whole thing and surprise us. Oh, and to clarify, I don't think *this* article is enough. But if someone wanted to write oil field workers and include a section on the family aspect, I think it would fly.

Subject is covered by self-published sources or in passing reference. No indication of notability in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject.

Withdrawn by nominator. I am not convinced by any argument or source on this page that the subject is notable and should have a Wikipedia article.

  • Keep what and why? The link you provide doesn't show me anything. Please provide a specific "keep" rationale that can be discussed here, not a recommendation for me to look elsewhere. How, for example, does this subject even begin to meet our notability guidelines for writers? We have far more independent sources about television host Abby Martin who writes all of her own episodes for RT and has co-directed a major film and reported and published notable works on Project Censored and the Occupy movement. Yet, her article has been deleted three times from Wikipedia, twice on AfD and once on AfC, even though she meets a higher bar for notability than Schlussel, who does not appear to be notable for anything except insulting people from the confines of her blog. So, please address the facts here, starting with the fact that notable people like Abby Martin have been deleted for far less. Then, begin to tell me how Schlussel's Wikipedia article demonstrates notable coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Viriditas (talk) 05:38, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep the Schlussel article, of course. The version of the Abby Martin article that was deleted is here. I would have supported the deletion of such a meagerly-sourced article, and that was the outcome of the Abby Martin AfD discussion. Even now there remains a Wikipedia article about the TV show that Martin hosts, whereas deletion of the Schlussel article would leave no article about her blog. In addition to the many footnoted sources in the Schlussel article (leaving aside those for her own blog), I get 792 hits at Google Books for Schlussel, and I have suggested using them to upgrade the Schlussel article. Maybe I'll have to get on it. ("Abby Martin" is a more common name, and so many of those search results do not refer to that Abby Martin.)Anythingyouwant (talk) 06:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I gave you a fully sourced link to the AfC version of the Abby Martin article up above. How is Schlussel more notable than Abby Martin? Actually, how is Schlussel notable at all per our guidelines? The current article version shows she is not. She's a blogger who insults people and the majority of the article is sourced to her blog or other things, not independent secondary source coverage. Viriditas (talk) 06:31, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I am not familiar with the AfC process, and it seems more relevant to focus here on the AfD process. According to the AfD rules, "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." So, we should not limit ourselves to the current article version.Anythingyouwant (talk) 07:25, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • OK, I took a look at the Google Books hits you linked to above. All that passing mention amounts to "look what this cute blonde Jewish blogger living in the heart of Detroit said about Muslims". And she gets her own Wikipedia article? Meanwhile, an actual journalist who has written and produced dozens, if not hundreds of reports, many of which have aired on her own television program, and who has helped direct a notable film about the Occupy movement and who has written articles for books published by Project Censored, can't have an article because...because...because...Debbie Schlussel is a cute blonde who says things about people on her blog? WTF? In what crazy, out of control, lawless, nonsensical world is a journalist who studied journalism and works as a journalist on her own television program and who has helped direct a major, definitive film about the Occupy movement not as notable as a minor, unknown blogger who gets publicity in gossip rags for insulting people? Is Wikipedia serious? Again, who is more notable here, Abby Martin, an accomplished journalist, television host and filmmaker, or Debbie Schlussel, an unknown blogger? Viriditas (talk) 08:01, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Well, idiot assassins who manage to pull a trigger get Wikipedia articles, and come to think of it that's pretty much what Schlussel does, though not literally. Anyway, am I correct, Vriditas, that you think Abby Martin deserves a Wikipedia article? Then why not just take the version that was rejected by a single editor at AfC, and create it yourself without going through AfC?Anythingyouwant (talk) 08:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Abby Martin exists solely as a protected redirect because the community has determined that she isn't notable and shouldn't be allowed to have an aricle. Can you think of any conservative biographical subjects that have been protected from creation? In any case, what is Schlussel notable for here anyway? Cullen says she's a notable conservative. Is there any evidence that is true? And judging by the criteria for what makes one a notable conservative, she doesn't appear to have met it. Viriditas (talk) 09:32, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • You have now thoroughly convinced me that Abby Martin is a completely unrelated case. The second Martin AfD considered a lousy article with a total of four footnotes, resulting in deletion plus protection of the redirect. Then, the article was drastically improved but still rejected by a single editor at AfC. None of that is similar to what's happening here, except that you would like the same result, or rather you want us to continue having a Wikipedia article about Martin's.TV show but not an article about Schlussel's blog. I agree with Cullen. Even if the NYT did not have an entire article about Schlussel, it seems like there are plenty of high- profile sources listed in the footnotes, quite apart from the footnotes to her blog. Anyway, I would like to be quiet now and see what others think. Cheers, Viriditas.Anythingyouwant (talk) 11:31, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • It's not unrelated. Abby Martin is a notable journalist, television host, and filmmaker. She has contributed significant work about the Occupy movement to that body of literature. Yet, she is denied an article on Wikipedia. On the other hand, we have Schlussel, an unknown blogger and unknown film critic who received coverage from a NYT media blogger when her press pass was revoked by a studio. This is not notable for a biographical article on Wikipedia as it refers to a one time event with no lasting historical importance. It's also been asserted that she is known for her conservatism, but outside of this media blogger, the conservative literature is silent on her contributions and importance. That's why I nominated her article for deletion. It is currently a puff piece constructed mostly out her own self-published blog entries as well as op-ed's and gossip sites unsuitable for a BLP. She does not appear to meet our notability guidelines in any way. Viriditas (talk) 22:59, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Neither of those sources you cite demonstrates her notability, in fact they do the complete opposite, and argue that she's a minor blogger and unknown film critic who is mostly unheard of outside the blogosphere. Perhaps you should read them as they make the opposite argument you intended. So you have not demonstrated any notability at all nor have you shown how she meets our guideline for notability. I haven't argued that I like or dislike her at all here, so you must be confused. I've argued that the current version of her article does not meet our criteria for notability, and you've proven me correct in your reply. Finally, other articles do exist, but I haven't argued that either. I've argued that people like Abby Martin are far more notable but have been deleted for far less. Martin is a notable journalist with her own television show and with credits for directing a notable film and publishing notable articles and original content about the Occupy movement. But what we keep seeing is that contrary to the guidelines for notability, Wikipedia continues to promote and keep non-notable articles about conservatives, while biographies on the left are routinely deleted, and in Martin's case, protected from recreation. Yes, other stuff exists, but the deletion guidelines and rationales are the same. Yet in one case, a person is deleted, while in another they are kept. Has Wikipedia jumped the shark or has its conservative bias become more open and overt? Viriditas (talk) 06:42, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • You say she is "minor" and "unknown". The New York Times devoted eight paragraphs to her and called her "a well-known conservative with an interest in Islam". (emphasis added). I will take the New York Times' assessment of her notability over yours, thank you very much. By the way, I see no evidence that the New York Times has ever discussed Abby Martin, nor has any other major newspaper or magazine given her significant coverage that I have been able to find. I happen to be liberal politically myself, and want us to have articles about notable activists and journalists of all political persuasions. That's NPOV. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Please tell me you are joking! Michael Cieply, an entertainment industry writer, not a political scientist nor an expert on politics, called Debbie Schlussel a "well-known conservative" in his NYT blog about the media. He also called her a "Michigan-based blogger and movie critic". And since when does having an entertainment industry blogger call you a "well-known conservative" make you notable? Never. And furthermore, if she is such a notable conservative, you should be able to cite authoritative experts on conservatism citing her as such. Instead, we have a 16,267 byte biography article with 33 references, of which 13 are self-published posts from Schlussel's blog, and the rest either mention her in passing or highlight her anti-Muslim blog postings in less than reliable and controversial sources that don't pass the sniff test, such as the Daily Mail and the Phoenix New Times. Long term consensus on the BLP board has maintained that the Daily Mail should not be used to cite controversial information in biographies. I also notice that there are several op-ed's in the article as well. There's no indication this subject meets the notability guidelines at all, nor has anyone been able to demonstrate that she has beyond a few incidents of gossip and bloggy mentions. Take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people) or even WP:CREATIVE and tell me how her notability merits an article. Viriditas (talk) 07:27, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Per WP:NEWSBLOG, "Several newspapers, magazines, and other news organizations host columns on their web sites that they call blogs. These may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals, but use them with caution because the blog may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact-checking process" In the specific case of Media Decoder, it is not "his" blog, it is instead a major feature of the New York Times' ongoing coverage of media news, it is under editorial control, and several staff reporters in addition to Cieply contribute to it. There is no doubt that Media Decoder is a reliable source, and significant coverage there confers notability. If Media Decoder ran eight paragraphs on Abby Martin, then she would also be notable. The current presence of lower quality references in the article does not render the topic non-notable. Instead, that should be an inspiration to clean up the article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Nice tangent there, but you haven't addressed my point. Even if we accept this source, it still doesn't show notability, it simply reports on an event, and a minor one at that. It is asserted by this source that the subject is a well known conservative. I've questioned that assertion. If she is a well known conservative, then clearly, she will be well known for something related to conservatism. Has her blog won awards? Has she made a significant contribution? How does this meet the notability guideline? As far as I can tell, she's notable for appearing in unreliable sources about gossip and innuendo. She's not notable, as you seem to indirectly assert (albeit unknowingly), for her dispute with the film studio. Again, this is a minor story with no lasting historical value. On the other hand, journalist Abby Martin has contributed to a significant body of work about the Occupy movement, and she writes and appears on a notable television show. Viriditas (talk) 09:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I simply don't understand why you keep trying to link the notability of Schlussel to that of Martin, as I see no reason whatsoever to link the two. We don't have a notability guideline for "conservative film critic blogger loud-mouthed combative anti-Muslim activists" all of which are aspects of her notability. People can be notable for being what you and I might agree are jerks. In my book, she's notable for all of that combined, because of significant coverage of her in reliable, independent sources. In your view, she isn't for some reason, which is fine. So be it. Let's hear what other editors think. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:42, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please read closer for comprehension. Schlussel is not the the subject of multiple reliable published secondary sources. Loook at the list you just posted: The Guardian citation is an opinion piece by Michael Tomasky about the reaction to Lara Logan's assault. Not reliable for a BLP. The American Spectator citation is a blog post by Aaron Goldstein about a personal feud between Goldstein and Schlussel. Not reliable (nor relevant) for a BLP. The Phoenix New Times citation is an opinion piece by Stephen Lemons about right wing nuts. Not reliable for a BLP. The Associated Press story is about a lawsuit filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations that tries to get Debbie Schlussel to stop using the name of their organization. The article says nothing whatsoever about Schlussel as a person and is good example of a WP:NOT#NEWS blurb that has no encyclopedic value whatsoever. There's nothing here for an encyclopedia article about Debbie Schlussel. I won't address the NYT piece because I already have several times above. It appears that nobody here actually understands the sourcing policies and guidelines and all the arguments for "keep" are based on this misunderstanding.

Per WP:NEWSBLOG, the sources I provided are reliable, although some do read as opinion pieces. I need time to think this over more before entirely reconsidering. NorthAmerica1000 11:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • That's hilarious. There isn't a single, reliable biographical source about the subject, simply because she has not attracted the attention of the world. She hasn't done anything notable to merit an article on Wikipedia, and the sources cited in this AfD demonstrate that beyond a reasonable doubt. Viriditas (talk) 09:40, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • You claim that you have a position of reason, yet you resort to an appeal to emotion.  wp:Notability is not a matter of "doing" anything.  It is not defined by en:notable.  It is gauged by evidence from reliable sources.  Unscintillating (talk) 12:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • There's no appeal to emtion here. I simply don't see a single reliable sources talking about her notability, her life, the significant things she's done, any anything else that makes a subject notable. All I see are opinion pieces, blog posts, and unreliable gossip sources. In any case, I see that there's a problem with the deletion process at large, and I will pursue it elsewhere.

The result was no consensus. Clearly, no agreement in this discussion on whether serving as the non-executive mayor of a large and notable city like Madras/Chennai is an indicator of notability. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

He was mayor of an Indian city for 1-2 years (not entirely specified in the article) and in the Indian National Congress. This is barely WP:NOTABLE, and I found absolutely nothing online, other than a few sites having this same article directly from Wikipedia. The only reference is a 1958 newspaper, and while that's not a bad source in its own right (although I didn't cross-check this), I don't think we'll ever get more references.

Note that the Indian National Congress is a political party so mere membership of it does not indicate notability, not without some specific status such as founder et.c. which does not seem to apply to him. But I agree that mayorship of Madras is notable. Imc (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My mistake. Thanks for the correction. I agree that a mayor of Madras should be notable, again per WP:POLITICIAN. --MelanieN (talk) 19:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MelanieN:, have you read that guideline? Madras (Chennai) is a big place but the office of mayor is not a "sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office". I feel sure that there are numerous newspaper reports in the archives but such reports exist for every mayor of every place in the UK (for example), regardless of the population. In this situation, it seems to me that it might be argued that notability is being inherited from the office. If we don;t have sources that discuss the guy himself in much detail then he's not notable. And if I'm wrong then that's another 250,000 crappy perma-stubs just from the UK alone. - Sitush (talk) 02:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually the guideline I was quoting was WP:POLOUTCOMES. Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". I don't think anyone would deny that Madras is a city of "at least regional prominence". It's true it can be hard to find sources for people in the pre-internet age, but the general opinion at AfD discussion has been to assume that such sources almost certainly must exist for mayors of prominent cities - even if the sources are hard to find online. --MelanieN (talk) 04:29, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, we want concrete sources, not just what we could find in the future. Yes, it's a large city, but all the sources are saying is "Jane Doe is mayor of Cityville" (to put it in easier-to-compare terms), so without anything to back up the rest, I think that this should be deleted unless we can actually find more sources.

This is the English language encyclopedia of the entire world, not the encyclopedia of the English-speaking world. I would fight against deletion of any biography of a mayor of San Francisco, the dominant world city of the region where I've lived for 42 years, and where the Wikimedia Foundation is headquartered. I would be a hypocrite if I didn't advocate for keeping a biography of a mayor of a world city with a far greater population. To argue otherwise without a comprehensive search for articles in other languages would be a perfect example of systemic bias. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Unfortunately, I only know English and a bit of Spanish, nothing that'll help with the language bias, but it'd be great if we could get someone here who knows something that could help here! As for the mayoral issue, I think that's just a difference of opinion; I'd argue against a San Francisco mayor who was in about the same situation as Mr. Srinivasan here. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 06:25, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MelanieN, I've no idea why you referred to one policy when you say that you meant another thing but, hey, the OUTCOMES thing just list common outcomes, not policy or guidelines. And the internet age issue affects everything, not just people in South Asia. Red herrings, both.
@Cullen, yes, it may indicate systemic bias. Tough: such articles can always be recreated when suitable sources are found. We shouldn't keep articles ad infinitum on the off-chance that something might turn up. A (sourced) List of mayors of Madras article might be the best solution in this situation, at least for now. - Sitush (talk) 11:58, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah, I searched for Chennai in connection with sourcing but didn't do on-WP! Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The point is that you're putting your American perspective on what a mayor is. See below for an explanation of what it is in this case. The Mayor of San Francisco is the chief executive of the city. The Mayor of Madras was not. Merely an honorary position who dresses up in traditional robes and a funny hat and acts as the figurehead of his city for a year until someone else replaces him. That's not to say that such mayors can't be notable (a fair few were knighted or created baronets for their good works, for instance, and thus meet criterion #1 of WP:ANYBIO), but they're certainly not inherently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

After a bit of googling, I am concluding that this is only a product code of magazine distributor Contrix/Magazine Agent http://www.magazine-agent.com/ (Special:LinkSearch/www.magazine-agent.com) previously known as uSubscribe.com, and that it is largely a U.S. magazine distributor (only one non-US magazine in the 32 magazines in section 'Food & Wine' is a strong clue), with the exception of these foreign titles. I cant see other organisations using this 'UMC', except pages like this where Magazine Agent is providing a subscription page for the magazine's website. Magazine Agent might be notable given the size of it (~700 magazines), so maybe we should move this page to that name and refocus it. John Vandenberg (chat) 03:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Correction, IMDb has two separate titles for the movie, one in French and one in English. The French title seems to be dated earlier, so I'm wondering if this wasn't released in French first and English second. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:46, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result was procedural close. This discussion is redundant to another discussion already taking place at Talk:Temporary foreign worker program in Canada for merging. Because the nominator isn't proposing anything deletion-related, I will close this discussion and let the merge discussion continue. However, it's been more than a week since the merge was first proposed and they say silence is consensus, so it may be advisable to just WP:BOLDly perform the merger right now at this stage. -v/r- (non-admin closure) Mz7 (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is a non-neutral point of view spin off of the main article Temporary_residency. This essentially duplicates the information found in Temporary_residency however provides it in as a quasi news report ("it was claimed", "were said to be") and also offers CBC reports as research.
