Delete Nothing here rings the notability bell. The voluminous sources all fail WP:RS. A Google turned up nothing that would support a case for WP:N. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:21, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now, at least. An argument could be made that coverage on two punk music websites counts shows notability, but that's setting the bar too low. Overall seems to fail WP:Notability (music). TheBlueCanoe 07:16, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Alright, consensus looks like I was feeling too generous when I voted to keep on just one or two sources. I'm willing to admit that the band's notability is questionable enough to strike my vote. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kautilya Pandit[edit]

Does not seem to meet notability requirements (WP:BIO, WP:GNG). The first reference (indoscopy) doesn't look like a mainstream published source and many not be RS. The second is OK, but I don't think it's enough. Searching [1] doesn't show anything else much, apart from copies of the same 1-off comment piece.

*Delete I've removed the "first source" mentioned above because it was Blogger-hosted content. Worse, it was merely repeating what the news sources said. Worse still, the news sources are merely repeating what each other say, almost akin to a press release (although one does say his IQ might be 150 whereas another says it might be 130). The family are seeking donations and that seems to be the impetus behind all this. If he really is a notable child prodigy then he'll do something notable over an extended period of time, not just as a one-day news effort. The article can always be recreated if that is shown at some point in the future. Having a Wikipedia article on a 5-year old one-hit wonder is a lot of pressure to put on a kid. So, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:GNG, WP:PROMO, WP:RS ... I could go on. - Sitush (talk) 12:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - changed from delete to keep. I'm weak on it but take on board the comments below. - Sitush (talk) 03:13, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep His "memory power" has made him well known in North India and his interaction with film actor Amitabh Bachchan in KBC show has made him popular, but after that first burst of activities, the boy seems become silent. Now, the article is re-organised, less puffery and with due respects to User:Sitush, problems about WP:RS,WP:Promo are now attended. But it may not pass WP:NOTNEWS and even then I feel the topic/article merits a weak keep. And of course, it may put pressure on the boy, which pressure he already sustained with numerous TV shows aired in India, just to display his "memory power"! - Rayabhari (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - We keep high schools because experience shows that, with enough research, sources can almost invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a poor tool for finding sources on Filipino schools. Very few have much of an Internet presence. We need to avoid systemic bias and allow time for local hard-copy and local language sources to be investigated. The Whispering Wind (talk) 00:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Whispering Wind is correct about our customary treatment of high schools. And in this case, it appears that this is not only a bona fide high school but a reasonably prestigious one. Some sources from the national papers are found at HighBeam Research, such as [2][3][4][5][6] --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:21, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep At the risk of piling on, there is clear evidence the school exists. And as noted above high schools have gained presumptive notability. I don't agree with that, but there it is all the same. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:24, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She is not an ordinary person plz try to understand in India we may not have the same notability criteria as in other part of the world but the major sourses are the Newspapers, official websites of the organization and of-course youtube.. kindly look into this matter with more open view. She is really working on the social awareness topics to help the society, i guess i can only do is to highlight her work to the public. plz help me improve the article with your expert advice. i am also thankful to VQuakr who guided me a lot... i am very new to wiki and learning a lot daily just bcoz of u all.. thanks a lot.. kindly approve the references and remove AFD tag form my article.. thanks

Before writing about the celebrities from India , i first read few articles for the references of-course from the Indian Film & Television fraternity.. i would like to reply to Guy.. who simply called my article "Fan Page" and recommended for deletion without undergoing the work and the acceptance of my subject in the Society.. I am doing more research and will only write too personal things when i have the proof to show it publicly. Wiki talk users kindly understand that India is a country of its culture and tradition... and if wiki is meant for all the kind of community then my article has all the evidence... few of my references are in the National Language Hindi so may be you people got confused by the still photograph on the news-article.. but let me explain that in the article its written about her work and her contribution towards society which is not the fan page but the information of her work.. if we will follow one mind set then we can never understand the new things happening in this world and may be a day will come when wiki or xyz will be working only for some people and community.. thanks,, i am not rude but i feel sad that when i am doing so much of research to give a new thing to the public then why cant we indulge in the discussion with more research and knowledge??..

Comment - I disagree that it fails GNG, this is a topic that has been heavily discussed in reliable sources like this one (and even in Norwegian sources). So far it's only been one match, so it might be more concise to rename the article to reflect that. This topic is however already covered in another article, Relocation of Wimbledon F.C. to Milton Keynes, and I believe the whole section "Legacy" is about their rivalry. As this article is a stub with two-three sentances and it duplicates an existing topic and doesn't expand upon that existing article, it can in my opinion be speedy deleted per WP:CSD#A10, unless the title is a plausible redirect. This is a notable topic, but we don't need a WP:SPINOFF-article with two-three sentances, so if it isn't speedy deleted and we don't need the redirect, the article should be deleted until a decent spin-off article can be created.

Delete - their one meeting to date was a highly-charged one to be sure, but it takes more than that to constitute a "rivalry" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:33, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Relocation of Wimbledon F.C. to Milton Keynes. I agree with the above comments that it doesn't need a separate article and is adequately covered in the other article. Redirection is a judgment call - it's not a very obvious search term, but equally the redirect target may not be very obvious if readers have to go looking for it. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:35, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - per above. Will almost certainly become a rivalry in time, but they need much more than one meeting to suggest that there is a genuine sporting rivalry. Fenix down (talk) 12:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – per nom, ChrisTheDude, Colapeninsula and Fenix down. The article on the relocation is enough, at least for the foreseeable future. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:52, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
First, thanks to Giant Snowman for leaving a notice on the talk page of the IP that contested it (me), very courteous. On the actual AfD, it's an interesting one -- technically it does meet GNG in my opinion, as it has received significant coverage in multiple independent sources (see "MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon: more than just a game", The Telegraph, "We are Wimbledon! Fans stake claim for 'real Dons' tag during FA Cup grudge match", Daily Mail, "AFC Wimbledon have no right to claim trophies, insists MK Dons chief", Daily Mail, "MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon: Clubs asked to show restraint by FA", BBC, "AFC Wimbledon fans find FA Cup tie at MK Dons too hard to stomach", The Guardian, "Don't kiss the badge! Cops crack down before Wimbledon vs MK Dons grudge match", Daily Mirror, etc.) But I can understand the point of some of the others above, it does feel a bit naff to have an article about a rivalry when only one game has been played and sometimes common sense should prevail over a literal reading of the guidelines, so I won't be voting keep myself. If the article is not kept, it should at the least be redirected to Relocation of Wimbledon F.C. to Milton Keynes. Sure, it's a cumbersome title, but redirects are cheap and it will still show as a drop down when people search "AFC Wimbledon...". 121.219.235.134 (talk) 13:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At the minute this is a case of an one-off event, with no evidence that this is a significant, notable rivalry. Redirecting is probably the best solution. Giant Snowman 13:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~DONT DELETE.~~ Hello, there are no reasons to delete this article. I found at least 2 reliable sources which dont refer to each other, so they are 2 different sources. The americanmonsters.com author Rob Morphy seems to be an expert in UFO incidents and cryptids. His articles are neutral and their main purpose is to inform the readers, not to entertain them. The case is even mentioned by a highly reliable museum site proving that the "Space Penguins" arent just an invention of Rob Morphy and it is also mentioned in the second source (which is a database). Actually Morphy´s publication is based on newspaper reports. I will try to find some more sources, but even the 3 ones i have already found justify the existence of this article. --SpongebobLawyerPants (talk) 18:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I searched, I really did. However the thing is that there just isn't any coverage in places that Wikipedia could consider to be reliable. There's a distinct lack of coverage even in the fringe sites and while it's not like we can use those as a RS anyway, it's kind of telling that even the fringe sites and outlets don't really seem to find any of this particularly noteworthy. Other than a very small handful of people, nobody is talking about this anywhere. I can't even find enough to where I'd suggest even merging a one line sentence into the main page for the village. Even Weird U.S., which tends to cover stuff like this, has sort of just shrugged its shoulders and moved on to cover other things. This is about as non-notable of an alien incident as you can get.

Delete Articles about cryptids such as Nessie, the yeti and bigfoot are about subjects that are dubious in many ways, but which have achieved wide coverage. These critters (that picture looks more like a meerkat than a penguin to me) have not achieved wide coverage. Especially not in reliable independent sources WP:RS. The farmer may well have seen something. Unfortunately, there is only his word for it (and a researcher seeing a hole in the ground). Even this is not reported (so far as we are aware) in reliable sources. This is an encyclopaedia. Subjects must be reliably referenced. I don't think this can be referenced in any sort of source as only one person is reported to have seen the incident, and there is no evidence to support this - except the hole, and holes on farms are not unknown. Peridon (talk) 17:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew - According to Gregory Collins in 2011, ~~Snap~~ Haskell (my bad) was 40x-50x faster than Ruby on a per-cpu basis at the time.[12] That would make it hundreds of times faster on a multicore processor since Haskell supports multicore parallelism. Snap has been sped up since then too, along with its competitor Yesod. Here is a 2011-era benchmark comparing Snap, Warp (the http server part of Yesod), PHP, and others. Notice that PHP (which powers the Wikimedia servers) is way down near the bottom of that chart, to get an idea of the speeds being discussed. The AOSA book has a chapter about Warp[13] saying Warp was on a par with nginx, and that was before the implementation of Mio, the parallel GHC I/O manager which made Warp and Snap even faster. I'm not sure Snap's speed ever reached parity with Yesod but it's in the same ballpark, and both of them are drastically (orders of magnitude) faster than the "mainstream" PHP, Rails, Django, etc. So it is perfectly reasonable in the context of web frameworks to say that Snap is fast. People tend to choose between Snap, Yesod, and Happstack (the three main Haskell web frameworks) based on API preference rather than raw speed, since all are bloody fast compared to most other stuff out there (except maybe Node, which gets its speed by being very primitive). 70.36.142.114 (talk) 21:24, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's notable in that it's the first result in google for "haskell web framework". An independent book has been written about it and is being sold: http://snapforbeginners.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.79.35 (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Searching for "snap haskell" returns about half a million hits, and there's the above mentioned book. All that makes it notable enough; however, some toning down of the article is required. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 21:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, nice amount of source coverage. — Cirt (talk) 17:28, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Though the article could be better, the topic appears notable. This is one of the main web frameworks that have been coded in Haskell. We already have articles on Yesod (web framework) and Happstack. Yesod is probably in the lead since it is covered by an O'Reilly book, but the other two appear serious as well. EdJohnston (talk) 01:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The non-notability claim is clearly refuted by references to a published book, an IEEE journal article, and numerous web articles. In fact, it's hard to imagine how this page could have ever been considered for deletion. But I think it was just an honest mistake - apparently the quality of the article was previously very low. There is nothing like the threat of deletion to inspire editors to clean up a badly written article. StormWillLaugh (talk) 14:09, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do not Delete, This clan is a sub clan of 2nd biggest caste in Pakistan. The caste has an overall population estimated more than 80 million. They are spread across Central and South Asia. Behlot clan is currently divided between India and Pakistan with no communication links left. This listing of the clan on Wikipedia can help many scattered distant relatives to connect again. It is already admitted that one book reference is found. There are a lot of other online references as well. Is it more reliable if someone prints that on a paper instead of publishing on a website? This might not be a significant clan in India but in Pakistan they have a whole village on their name (http://www.geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-3840227&fid=4620&c=pakistan).

I think that you are misunderstanding how Wikipedia works. Your link above does not verify your claim that the village is named after the community. And the citations added here merely verify that a community using the Behlot name exists. We need sources that discuss the clan and for statements such as "is a sub clan of 2nd biggest caste in Pakistan". Otherwise, it is just another last name and not remotely encyclopaedic. - Sitush (talk) 19:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a bit of evidence this individual might be encyclopedically notable. Let's look at the "sources". Actually, in the interests of sanity, let's exclude the YouTube videos, the Facebook page and "BloguLuTeo". So we have:

IMDb entry, which proves nothing
Dead link

Passing mention in an article on Sorin Ovidiu Vântu
Passing mention in a blog post about Pablo Francisco

[17] Voyo.ro is the largest video-on-demand service in Romania, I think having a stand up special featured on there might establish that he's a notable individual.

I've added sources including interviews on Antena 3, Gândul, a number of press releases from Hotnews.ro, Mediafax and Adevărul, all major Romanian press institutions. As Romanian press has come to be close to non-existent, finding reliable sources is getting harder and harder and I think being mentioned by four mainstream Romanian media outlets and interviewed in other two, qualifies him as notable. The Facebook page is only there as his website, the YouTube videos to source some of the subjects he usually discusses and the "BloguluTeo" link is to establish Doug Stanhope and George Carlin as influences on his comedy style, as he considers them to be. Not one of those links was there to establish him as a notable individual.cutkiller (talk) 15:01, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. Amount of sources right now (including many from youtube) appear to be a WP:MASK. None of the links provided before establish requirements of WP:ENT. As mentioned before, press releases do not establish notability. If there were some articles posted that covered subject I could reconsider, but couldn't find anything personally. mikeman67 (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. After further comments from cutkiller, I'm no longer convinced he doesn't meet GNG. It does appear he has coverage in major newspapers, and some of his work has been featured on a Romanian video site. However, it isn't clear to me if the news sites have Teohari as their subject, or Sector 7, or if the coverage is substantial enough. I'd like to see more Romanian speakers weigh in, if possible. mikeman67 (talk) 04:30, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the comment in question referred to this interview and this one. I confess I lacked the patience to watch until the end, but from what I saw, in the first video, the subject opined on the topic of Freemasonry in Romania and the (small, in his view) degree of influence it wields over the country. In the second, he appeared alongside another comedian, and both opined on the stand-up profession before veering to other topics. This is all well and good, but appearing in television interviews does not establish notability. The interviews aren't even quotable (as far as I could tell), and you'll note the article as it stands does not attempt to quote them - the appear as part of a long series of footnotes in the lead section. WP:MASK comes to mind. - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize that. There's also that link on Adevarul though that looks like some coverage. What about the videos on voyo.ro? Would that not be enough to meet WP:ENTERTAINER #1? mikeman67 (talk) 04:56, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adevărul: to some extent, there is usable material at that link, but given that Teohari was interviewed alongside one of his colleagues from the stand-up group Sector 7, given that the text is mainly about Sector 7, and finally given that Sector 7 is (I would say) notable, that would best be used at... Sector 7 (comedy act).

My problem with the voyo links is three-fold. 1) Does video on demand, as opposed to conventional television, meet the WP:ENT criteria? 2) Is it enough to link directly to the company that created the videos? Shouldn't we expect there to be independent third-party coverage of his participation in the shows? 3) Even given 1 and 2, note the wording: "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". We definitely would need independent verification that his roles are significant and that the productions in which he appeared are notable. I know cutkiller has told us how important voyo is, but we really should get some concrete evidence for that. - Biruitorul ^Talk 05:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1)If Bad Samaritans or Hemlock Grove, released only as a video on demand series by Netflix, are notable, I think that establishes the fact that video on demand could also meet WP:ENT criteria. 2) I've added a link to an interview with fellow comedian Andrei Ciobanu, where he mentions his own special with voyo.ro and also Teohari's special with the same streaming service. Romania is never going to have press outlets specializing in local internet-streaming programming and major publications are just not interested in comedy specials, at least for now. I don't think that makes Romanian stand-up comedy or Teohari not notable. 3)He's a featured performer in the stand-up special and a presenter and occasional improv performer in the improv specials. I think that establishes the fact that his roles are notable. Not sure about how "important" voyo is. Should I include articles about voyo being the largest video on demand streaming platform in Romania right now and it being owned by Central European Media Enterprises in an article about Claudiu Teohari? Would the fact that the Youtube series he's hosting ([[24]]) gets over 100,000 views on almost every episode qualify him as having "a large fan base or a significant "cult" following."? (WP:Ent) cutkiller ^Talk 02:50, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1) Bad Samaritans appears non-notable - I note the lack of sources, while Hemlock Grove is; but this veers into WP:WAX territory. The question, I suppose, is whether Teohari's shows pass WP:WEBCRIT, and I see no evidence they do.
2) The link helps establish that Sector 7 is notable, but that's about it. The rest is speculation: there may well be notable Romanian stand-up comedians, but that doesn't mean their notability can't be proven by the usual way. In fact the notability criteria we have are the only ones for determining whether an article gets kept. Plus, we are talking about Romania, a country with a very active press and Internet, not some undeveloped, low-literacy country in the heart of Africa where a significant comedian really might have trouble establishing notability via the Internet.
3) No, material about voyo doesn't belong in Teohari's biography, but if voyo is that significant, should it too not have an article? And as for YouTube, see WP:BIG for that.
4) In sum, we keep getting a lot of trivia thrown at us, but nothing can hide the fact that at this point, we are dealing with a vanity biography, not one of an individual whose notability is clear through the criteria specified at WP:ENT or WP:BIO. - Biruitorul ^Talk 03:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1) Your original question was "Does video on demand, as opposed to conventional television, meet the WP:ENT criteria?" - the reason I was trying to establish notability of video on demand being notable as opposed to conventional television. While we're on the subject, isn't Realitatea TV, whre Teohari hosted his own television show in 2009, convetional television and also notable?
2) The fact that Sector 7 is in the title does not necessarily mean that the whole 70 minute interview is just about Sector 7 and not about Teohari and Gheba as stand-up comedians on their own. Does this mean that Sector 7 might deserve a Wikipedia entry? Maybe so. But I don't see how it makes Teohari non-notable. There's also a Gandul interview with Lucian Mândruță where Teohari is interviewed on his own, not as a part of Sector 7. I'm not sure how a racist comment about African countries being illiterate helps the discussion, nor am I sure how deeply subjective remarks such as "a very active press and Internet" are of significance. I would call a country where major press outlets such as Gandul, Cotidianul or Ziua are being forced to either shut down or switch to online-only platforms^[1] or others such as Evenimentul Zilei and Jurnalul Naţional are being forced into bankruptcy ^[2]^[3] anything but "very active". You said earlier that you lack the patience to watch these interviews, so I don't know how can you be so sure that they're not relevant to the subject. I've also added an article in Adevărul that describes Teohari, together with fellow comedians Costel Bojog and Viorel Dragu, as being "the most well-known comedians in Romania".
3) Are you saying that every subject that has not yet gotten an article on Wikipedia is non-notable? cutkiller ^Talk 16:06, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will start by responding to your slanderous accusation of having made "a racist comment about African countries being illiterate". I actually said "low-literacy", and the facts bear that out. I would say that in the modern world, a literacy rate of 70% or under is low. Let's see who fits the description, shall we? Mali (28%), Burkina Faso (29%), Niger (29%), Sierra Leone (35%), Chad (35%), Ethiopia (39%), Senegal (39%), Guinea (41%), Benin (42%), The Gambia (50%), Haiti (culturally if not geographically African, 53%), Guinea-Bissau (55%), Mozambique (56%), Ivory Coast (56%), Central African Republic (57%), Mauritania (58%), Liberia (61%), Togo (61%), Nigeria (61%), Madagascar (65%), DR Congo (67%), Uganda (67%), Burundi (67%), Tanzania (69%), Djibouti (70%), Angola (70%). Sure, not every low-literacy country is in Africa: Afghanistan is at 28%, Bhutan at 53%, Pakistan at 55%; and yes, there are fairly literate societies on the continent (South Africa, 93%; Seychelles, 92%; Zimbabwe, 91%; Lesotho, 90%). But there is a definite pattern: African countries tend to have low literacy rates, and consequently a smaller market for news readers. Some 98% of Romanians can read, so that is not really a factor in Romania. Sorry if you don't like the facts, but just waving them away as "racist" is not a valid debating tactic.
Supposing video on demand shows can in principle be notable, that in no way implies Teohari's show fits the "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" requirement. Moreover, no, not every notable topic has an article on Wikipedia, but simply repeating who owns voyo or how big it is does not do much for establishing its notability.
About the Mândruță interview and the Antena 3 one: the point is not that the interviews occurred. Anyone can be interviewed on television and be forgotten the next day. The point is if they can be quoted so as to boost Teohari's claim of notability. If all he does is talk about Freemasonry, then no. If there's more, quote it. Simply adding a link to show he was interviewed is meaningless. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:28, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating as it may be, the discussion is not about the literacy rate of African countries. If you read my comment carefully, I was asking how is it relevant for a Romanian comedian being notable or not that a number of countries in Africa have issues with literacy. Saying "Romania is more literate than a number of countries in Africa, therefore it has a larger market for newsreaders" does not, in itself, constitute an argument that Romanian press does, indeed, satisfy said market, making it "very active" as you call it, especially since I provided a number of links to articles discussing the serious financial trouble that multiple major press institutions in Romania are confrunted with nowadays. It's a simplistic approach and bringing up low-literacy in Africa in a debate about a Romanian comedian's notability is, if not racist, at least inappropriate. I provided one of the reasons it might be hard to find a lot of interviews and articles about Teohari in major publications (and links to back my claim), your argument was "some African countries have low-literacy, Romania does not". It's like saying "African countries are torn with civil war, Romania is not, therefore Romania has more press outlets that you can quote from". Since you bring up debating "tactics", yours is a recurring logical fallacy known as relative privation (the "it could be worse" argument), simply put, you're trying to make a reasonable judgment based on extreme cases.

What about hosting his own show on Realitatea TV in 2009? As Realitatea TV is, according to you, significant because it has an article on Wikipedia, and he was the host and creator of the show, does that not qualify him as having had a "significant role in a telelvision show? I've added another link, an interview in Evenimentul Zilei ^[4] that describes him as "the host of the Realitatea TV series După bloguri and a stand-up comedian and a third piece in Adevarul that says he's the host of the Realitatea TV show. As for other productions, what about headlining weekly shows in comedy clubs in Bucharest since the mid 2000s? As I've pointed out, the fact that he's not an actor nor is he intending to become one, does not qualify him to appear in other stage productions other than stand-up or improv comedy shows. An Esquire profile describes him as "being a stand-up comedian since late 2003 and having had over 1000 shows". Another article on entertainment portal Metropotam says that "Pablo Francisco's management chose Teohari to open for Francisco's Bucharest show".

There are a number of other references about him doing sold-out shows throughout Romania during the years. The Mândruță interview starts by describing him as "Claudiu Teohari - comediant" not "Sector 7 member" or "Freemasonry expert". The discussion about Freemasonry and Illuminati that follows is clearly sarcastic and meant to be funny, in no way an actual serious commentary on any of these two subjects. He even mentions at 3:58, that he has a routine about Freemasonry. A comment about the state of traditional media in Romania is madeby Teohari himself in this interview at 5:29 where he says: "When I say public discourse, I mean traditional media, or whatever is left of it. Things that haven't died yet."

The 74 minute video interview with Adevarul ^[5] starts out by introducing Teohari as "one of the most well known stand up comedians in Romania" (2:50). At 14:50 one of the interviewrs asks him about the difference between virtual audiences and hecklers he encounters at stand-up shows. The written summary even quotes Teohari talking about his stand-up work and being interested in the specific way people laugh at his shows. It's quite obvious that he's also being interviewed as a stand-up performer, not only as a member of Sector 7. Now I'm starting to wonder if you watched/read any of these interviews.

I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not a frequent Wikipedia editor, so I don't know how to add quotes to a reference list in an article, so I've quoted them manually here.cutkiller ^Talk 04:25, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why does everyone seem to focus on the youtube links and press releases and nobody looks at the lengthy interviews done with this individual by several major Romanian press institutions? I really need to say this again, I've included the press releases and youtube links to establish some facts about him, not to establish notability per-se. That's why I included a bunch of other reliable, non-trivial, sources. Any Romanian speakers out there? cutkiller (talk) 07:55, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as the rationale of a Romanian speaker. The bulk of the material sourced is trivia coverage, not even national news, and the article still is a vanity piece. A collective article on Sector 7 would be within policy at this moment (and it is the group, not the individual members who have so far attracted [some] media attention); but Mr. Teohari himself cannot claim standalone encyclopedic relevancy, not in any case at this stage in his career. Dahn (talk) 12:46, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment how is an interview with Lucian Mandruta for Gandul and an invitation by Cristina Topescu in an Antena 3 (both as himself, not part of Sector 7) television show not "national news"? Also, how does appearing in 4 Central European Media Enterprises comedy specials as a featured performer not qualify him as ""Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."? (talk) 19:20
Keep We do not require that The New York Times or Washington Post cover a comic in Romania, and notable to Romania through Romanian coverage is notable enough for Wikipedia.

A desperate straw-man argument if I ever saw one. No one here has mentioned the Times or the Post. Of course Romanian-language coverage would be sufficient to establish notability, but it's not sufficient to simply assert that such coverage exists.

(sigh) No more "desperate" than not calling into account the nominator's dismissal of sources. I stated simply as I did to remind him that sources must be considered for suitability even if a Romanian notable (even if only just so) is not covered in mainstream US press. I really need not repeat the postings of sources by others nor argue about it if I agree that just enough are suitable and meet WP:BIO.

Keep With the good howto content exported to Wikiversity, I felt free to completely rewrite the article based on reliable sources. The format conversion stuff has been condensed to a short section while material on the other sorts of geographic coordinate conversions, such as datum conversions, has been added. The material in this rewrite is based on reliable sources, such as standards, textbooks, and and government publications. I made an effort to use some non-US sites for better neutrality, but discussion of non-US datums could still use some development. With dozens of sources in the new version of this article, the topic well passes the threshold for notability according to WP:GNG and the original problems stated by the admin are now gone. --Mark viking (talk) 22:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PRSA Foundation[edit]

Done I have added a line about its foundation date on Public Relations Society of America. That article feels a bit too negative still and could use the philanthropic material. I also noticed that here Jack O'Dwyer offers some explanations about how the PRSA and its Foundation inter-operate. "The Society collects revenues for the PRSA Foundation with which it has "interrelated directors" and with which it shares "common facilities."" These kinds of philanthropy organizations are often "independently operated", but only kinda sorta. I was not confident enough in understanding what Jack O'Dwyer was saying to interpret it for Wikipedia, but it would be worthwhile to add to the Organization section of the PRSA article the corporate structure and relationship between the PRSA, the PRSSA, the PR journal and the PR Foundation.

Waves Audio[edit]

This article has no sources and appears to be primarily advertising created by the company. The few citations provided are to their own press releases and website. Warning was given nearly 5 years ago and this article has become more advertising since.

Searching for the company in Google News yields almost no reliable sources. It maybe be possible a small 1 paragraph entry could be worthwhile, but as it stands now this article is purely advertising. Beakermeep (talk) 04:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure the best course of action, so help would be appreciated.Beakermeep (talk) 05:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking out the page could be considered as a deletion request only if whoever does it is the only major contributor to the article, which is not the case here. If it was, a better option (than blanking) would have been to mark the page for speedy deletion under the G7 criteria, so I can say that what you did was most appropriate.

Delete, I originally nominated for CSD as A7 and G11 but notability claimed on talkpage. Label is brand new, founded in 2013. Sources provided show that they received coverage for raising 30m and another 2 offering Lindsey Lohan a contract. I do not believe it passes WP:CORPDEPTH and thereby also WP:GNG. It may be WP:TOOSOON--Hell In A Bucket (talk) 08:33, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, You said "delete" even before I finished the page or added other sources. Just because it's a brand new label, doesn't mean it's not notable. The credible sources back up it's legitimacy.

Speedy Delete per G11, without prejudice to the question of whether the topic is notable. --j⚛e decker ^talk 23:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This months-old label doesn't seem to have actually released any music as yet. Article provides a number of sources, but they are variously primary, non-RS, and/or provide only side mentions of the subject, and I don't find anything better when searching. What is out there are rehashes of 2-3 press releases that they've circulated. Note: This entity appears to be wholly unrelated to the small Dutch house label or the small 70's soul label of the same name. I also agree with Joe Decker that this qualifies to be speedied as G11. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO I agree with both of you User:Hobbes Goodyear but once the claim of significance claim was made I didn't really have a choice. It has been reliably sourced that it is a partner with Caroline, does this mean it is a subsidiary of that company or just a company with a working relationship with Caroline? If it is indeed an actual property or subsidiary it will likely be redirected or merged into the parent article. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:38, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to merge or redirect anything into a parent article. As far as it being a subsidiary or not of Caroline, it's pretty clear that it is as it's listed on Caroline's own site as "featured partner" with their other labels. See here - http://caroline.com/partners

Pearljambandaid (talk) 09:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Caroline Records is distributor for a ton of independent labels ("partners"). I think that if we changed this article to a redirect and an actual reader landed there, their reaction be "huh?". If we are going to be less useful than a plain old Google search, then I think we should just bow out. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 12:41, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pearljambandaid I think the article may just be a little WP:TOOSOON. It may have the notability soon to warrant it's own article. Is there any criteria for your assignment that we can help you with? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question for (talk) a person for her publicity firm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Hyatt, contacted me and offered to sell her services to keep this SMH article on Wikipedia. She claimed she had a AFD reversed on her page and she would do the same for this one. This seems like a shady practice, or is it? Her wiki page doesn't seem notable at all especially with the weak sources from her own sites. Pearljambandaid (talk) 00:10, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely that is shady. I'm going to research a little and possibly alert admin.

The result was Delete and salt. There are two reasons for closing this early. It is a snow deletion, with two AfDs in which every single participant has been in favour of deletion of the article. (The fact that one person also suggested having a redirect under the same title does not diminish that.) It is also a speedy deletion as an attack page. The article contains allegations of criminal actions against a living person, without any reliable source. That is a clear violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons, and since the ostensible subject of the article is an obscure person of no notability, while the person against whom those allegations are levied is a prominent person, that negative unsourced BLP aspect is the principal, almost the only, effective purpose served by the article. The last AfD closed as delete and redirect. (The closing statement does not mention the deletion, but that is what the closing admin did.) I see no merit in the redirect. There was no consensus for it in the previous AfD discussion, with only one person suggesting it, and there was then and still is now no mention of the subject of the article in the redirect target either. I am therefore closing this as a straight deletion, and I shall also protect the article title against re-creation.

Delete as an unsalvageable WP:BLP violation. She's only notable for one event, but unfortunately she's dead so WP:BLP1E doesn't really apply. But her famous car-mate is not dead and WP:BLP applies full-on. The whole article is innuendo, suspicion, and sourced to sites which are not WP:RS for such claims as murder conspiracy and what may or may not have transpired. About the only source with content other the coverage of the WP:BLP1E incident is http://assofias.webs.com/formertitleholders.htm which is probably not a WP:RS. (This rationale lightly edited from the previous rationale). Kaimahi (talk) 06:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. I created this article (or rather turned it from a redirect into a stub) because it was nominated at RfD with the mention that there was no information at the target (Eddie Murphy]). Deliberately i did not look at or modify the Murphy article but created the stub from online sources, two of which I would regard as [[WP:RS)). But I don't believe this person is WP:N and it is WP:NOTINHERITED and not WP:GNG. If there is a BLP violation (as I say I have deliberately not looked at the Murphy article) then it should go speedy; I could of course SPEEDY it myself as author but the whole point of my creating the stub was so that other editors could actually see what the problem was and have their opinion. (I didn't create the redirect, I turned the redirect into a stub.) Something should be said about these allegations at Murphy's article but I tried to exercise due care in not violating BLP; but this person is not notable in himself.

Faith-based[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

The topic is a term, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary (see WP:NAD). Earlier versions included discussion of faith-based organizations, which would be appropriate for an article called Faith-based organizations, similar to Faith-based foreign aid or Faith-based schools. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be significant coverage from reliable sources about the term as a word; e.g., on its origin(s), spread and rise in popularity, usage different parts of the world, its definition or discussion in legislation or legal cases, etc. Agyle (talk) 05:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - my only concern is that with this edit you removed more than 1/2 of the content. I'm not saying that was a bad editing decision or that it didn't need to happen but it means contributors to this discussion are making a decision about an article that isn't really what you're suggesting any more. Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, sure, but the title would almost make for a legitimate disambiguation page for the two articles you listed and the third which should probably be created. The Bush administration created an "Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI)". That and issues relating to the definition of "faith-based" are well-summarised in the essay Categories of Faith-Based Organizations: History and Policy Context published by the Berkley Center. The Center for Faith and Service of the National Crime Prevention Council provides further definitions (of "faith-based organization" in particular) in their FACES Toolkit and other documents. A number of other sources provide comprehensive background for the differentiation between "faith-based" and "faith-related" (the latter being a term coined by Steven Rathgeb Smith and Michael R. Sosin in 2001). It's very definition is the subject of several books specifically about faith-based initiatives and the legislative and legal framework that exists to support them despite "separation of Church and State". My point is that there is plenty of material out there and the use of poor sources and bad writing isn't a good reason to delete an article. Much of this strikes me as a WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM kind of problem. Stalwart111 06:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the term needs a disambiguation page; your three suggested inclusions have the term "faith-based" in them, but are distinct concepts or organizations. But either way, I think turning a 9-year-old article into a disambiguation page is "deleting" it in a sense, and so should still go through AfD. There is already an article on the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. I agree there are many faith-based things in the world (principles, laws, policies, retreats, magazines, companies, groups, etc.), and sources about them dating back millenia, but this article since its inception has been about the term faith-based, not about things that are faith-based. I removed a lot of unsourced content because it was comprised of unnecessary examples of things that are faith-based. (Here is the version immediately prior to my edit; here is the version by the original author in 2005.) The tiny amount that was relevant to the article seemed dubious, and the reliable sources I did find either contradicted or failed to verify the claims; there was no material I considered factual and pertinent to save per FIXTHEPROBLEM, except for part of the first sentence. The decision on deletion should not be based of the article's existing state, which can be improved, but on whether the subject of the article is suitable for a Wikipedia article. Agyle (talk) 13:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't strongly disagree with any of that and I should have been clear - I don't disagree with you bringing it here either. I didn't opine in favour of keeping it for exactly that reason. If it is kept, you seem to be suggesting that we blow it up and start again (correct me if I'm wrong). Couldn't agree more, but that requires as assessment of the current sub-par content, thus my commentary about that edit. I also think there's a place for Faith-based initiative and a few other things that have "faith-based" in their title. In that sense, we'd be talking less about a disambiguation page and more about a brief overview with appropriate content-splits. In some ways, we'd be better off deleting this (on the basis you have outlined) and then going to WP:DRV later on for permission to create a new article with a different focus (the subject, broadly, rather than the term). Stalwart111 22:46, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I think the difficulty would remain, no matter what, that the subject is an adjective, and it's difficult to treat it as anything other than a discussion of the term itself. Offhand I can't think of any Wikipedia articles with a subject that's strictly an adjective. It would be like having a separate article on Religious (which redirects to Religion, a noun), with an overview of Religious education, Religious laws, Religious organizations, Religious texts, Religious music, etc. It's complicated by “faith-based” being largely a synonym/euphemism for “religious”; distinctions between “religious education” and “faith-based education” would be splitting hairs. Another difficulty is that synonyms vary regionally; Religious school and Faith-based school both redirect to Faith school, a recently-created term in England. “Faith-based initiative” became popular in the US for religious organizations' programs after the federal “Faith-Based Initiative” was launched in 2001 to fund the programs. Agyle (talk) 02:21, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, though a number of those sources specifically deal with the question of religious/faith-based. But I digress - that's the whole purpose of creating a draft and seeking approval - it would only make it back to mainspace if others agree those issues have been addressed.

Delete - per discussion above. I think this has potential as a completely re-written article about (in many ways) a different subject.

Delete. It's always a bad sign when a scientist's biography doesn't actually list any scientific publications (save for, in this case, a library catalog entry for his 1978 doctoral thesis). He was marginally on the radar last year because the climate-change-denialist blogosphere likes a good persecution fantasy, and a few 'skeptical' columnists were rather trusting.

It's possible that this chap is a 'notable' enough scientist to warrant a Wikipedia article. The problem is that our article – as it was created, and as it remains now – doesn't actually address any of his career. Our article just talks about how Salby is "known for" his contrarian claims regarding global warming (basing that assertion on cites to a climate change denialist and a tabloid column, and in spite of Salby's lack of publications on the topic), and then notes that he was fired amidst a teapot tempest.

If someone wants to write a proper biographical article on Salby, they would be better off starting from scratch—though I do wonder if there is really sufficient independent coverage of him for us to be able to write a proper biography that doesn't rely too heavily on primary sources and original synthesis. Either way, starting from this skeleton of WP:UNDUE and WP:COATRACK is inviting BLP disaster. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 08:34, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is very little in the way of WP:RS on his recent history. There is an official statement by Macquarie University, but it responds to none of Salby's allegations (which themselves exist only on unreliable blog posts). There appear to be no reliable news stories on the final outcome of the dispute (other than the fact that his employment was terminated). Legal action is presumably ongoing. It's not even clear what Salby is currently doing. -- 101.119.14.238 (talk) 07:50, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This aspect of the article should probably be redacted entirely and rewritten to focus on his obviously-notable scientific contributions. I plan on doing this shortly unless someone else has a go first. Agricola44 (talk) 16:04, 4 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

~~It's not bad to clean up inaccuracies but The Guardian does delve into his likely fraud cases which need to also go into the article with due weight. Sportfan5000 (talk) 22:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)~~ [WP:Ban 03:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)][reply]

I think his notability is from his academic work. The alleged fraud and the firing are very recent newsy items. We can't say he's notable based on his google scholar score and then only write about fraud and CO2. He would not be notable for that. --DHeyward (talk) 22:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stubbing notable people until that material exists is proper. We don't keep bad BLP's. The material is still there to build on but it's been over a week and this article has no other material. I don't have any information on him. --DHeyward (talk) 23:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You effectively edit warred so now all progress on the article has been halted. You didn't bother to try to fix the problem, you flippantly deleted everything, even though it was well sourced.

Excuse me, but no I did not. Everyone seems to agree that the current form is a BLP problem. I didn't delete anything from history or blank the page. Had you left the stub or left the hat, instead of just reverting, we wouldn't be here. I don't particularly care if it goes away and stubbing doesn't accomplish that anyway. --DHeyward (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have locked the article for five days because of the edit war going on. It's particularly disruptive considering the article is at AfD.

Keep, easily meets WP:PROF (obviously per #1, probably per other criteria as well). Strange nomination. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:42, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not strange when none of the reasons for "keep" were in his bio and he was almost simultaneously put in a list of scientists that oppose science. If you are a University hiring climatologists, is he above average? Do you get a warm and fuzzy feeling that he is above average after reading the WP article? I didn't. I saw a guy that is down for the count and a high-profile web site piling on to that. He's looking for a job and would you want your bio showing up the way his does on WP in a google search? According to all the !votes, his article should be reflect an above-average climatologist with a proven track record in his field. --DHeyward (talk) 05:40, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:Prof and its notes. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:17, 7 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

I already did that. I don't think he meets it. The notes mention the average professor test and the nutshell discount sheer publication/citation. Is he above average in his field? I don't get that impression. He's unemployed at the moment. --DHeyward (talk) 06:26, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As Xxanthippe has already indicated, his h-index is roughly 30. The usual standard for AfD discussions of academics is that an h-index of 10 is sufficient to pass WP:PROF. A value of 30 makes it a no-brainer. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 10:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One does not have to be employed to satisfy WP:Prof. Einstein, among many other notable scientists, is unemployed because he is dead. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Most of his citations appear to be from a textbook which is a useful collection of knowledge but rarely are they a significant contribution to the field. Is he better than the average climatologist? Would he be your choice to fill an academic opening in climatology? Those two questions speak directly to his notability as WP:PROF. --DHeyward (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROF doesn't say anything at all about relying on editors' judgments as to whether he would be the right choice for a job opening. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it says a lot about whether you consider him above average and that is covered. If his article implies he is below average, basing his notability as WP:PROF doesn't cut it. --

DHeyward (talk) 21:51, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect we'll do fine sticking with what WP:PROF actually says. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:37, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note A replacement uncontroversial "Education and career" section, plus a new "Academic positions" section, have been edit requested on the talk page for two days, this was in process of being added to the article when it was locked down.

Keep, article in its present state is a bad BLP problem just waiting to happen, but Salby seems to have been notable enough even before his Macquarie University related chicanery hit the press.

Comment. Since the article has been locked in the non-BLP-compliant state, improvement is not really an option, and deletion per WP:TNT seems the best course. -- 101.119.15.220 (talk) 01:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's possible there could be sufficient notability for this product in the future, but the current sources and article are not reliable.

In this case what needs to be learned is that not every product of a manufacturer deserves its own page. WP:Product.

The details regarding succession (belief) mentioned is to make the reader understand what the situation is as it is shown from the outside, to the media and public in general. But (the truth) will clear all your doubts that this is not just another succession issue but a carefully planned strategy to create a spiritual leader for a religious sect that does not have a spiritual leader. You might find it hard to believe as to how can a religious sect exsist without a spiritual leader? This sect did since 1977 from the day it was formed. Now under the guise of a succession issue it is trying to create a spiritual leader for itself. A historic event that has never happened in the history of mankind should sure have a mention in Wikipedia. I have also provided as many reference as possible in this article.

As i have mentioned before this article was put for deletion by Ftutocdg in his anger of not being able to get the article Qutbi Bohra deleted. He does not have any concern with this article. As regards to the content of the article, as mentioned earlier it is about a sect of a religion that is trying to get for itself a spiritual head. This is a first of its kind event in the history of mankind. I sincerely hope that the persons reading the article understand the situation and make their decisions accordingly.

Merge (where applicable, otherwise redirect) into American Idol (season 13)#Finalists. What little biographical information exists within each contestant's article is mostly already contained in the Finalists section of the Season 13 page. Songs performed from the semifinals-on are also duplicated from the individuals' pages. That leaves so little unique material in each contestant article that it might be too soon to branch off just yet, even if they technically meet WP:MUSICBIO #9 by way of placing in the finals. Gong show 00:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I wouldn't strongly oppose most of these being merged to American Idol (season 13) for the time being, but the ideal situation I think, would be for these articles to be kept and improved. I've already spent some time on the Jessica Meuse article, having gone into more detail than could be merged into the season article. I would definitely be disappointed if this one is merged. As for the others, all of them certainly meet the notability criteria, both of WP:MUSICBIO, having "placed in a major music competition", and of Wikipedia:Notability, since they all have received significant coverage in reliable independent sources. --Jpcase (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone talks about them being notable for "placing" but what actually defines placing? Usually placing is top 4 or above (at most). Is there anywhere that specifies that for American Idol, placing is if you land in the top 13? Because I don't see a difference between placing in the top 13 or the top 30.. Both are significant milestones on the show. Gloss • talk 21:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Placing" in this context means "making the finals". On American Idol, the top 30 is considered the semi-finals, whereas the top 13 is considered the finals (here's a reference for that [31]). Also, from top 13 onwards, all of the contestants' performances are released on iTunes. --Jpcase (talk) 15:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would WP:BLP1E apply here? Serious question, as I'm not sure. (regardless of MUSICBIO) Gloss • talk 05:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E says that an article should not be created on a topic "when each of three conditions is met"; the third condition is not applicable here - American Idol is one of the most watched television shows in America and has launched the careers of many high profile singers, so it's definitely a significant event, and each of these individual's roles in American Idol is substantial and well documented. So no, I don't think that WP:BLP1E would apply. --Jpcase (talk) 06:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The second part of the third condition talks about if the person wasn't significant to the event. That seems like the case with just about anyone who doesn't make the top 2 (maybe 3). Gloss • talk 06:14, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With some other competitions, I would probably agree with you. In the case of American Idol though, a contestant does not need to make the top 2 or 3 to be significant to the event. As Sportfan5000 and I have already pointed out, there exists a very deep well of quality resources to draw from on any one of these people. Typically, that's all that's needed for a subject to be considered notable enough for Wikipedia. However, several quality references probably also exist for anyone who only makes the semifinals (top 30 this year, but the exact number varies from year to year). Heck, if we were only going by the general notability guidelines, then articles could possibly be created for some of the people who simply audition - American Idol gets a lot of coverage by the media. Personally though, I wouldn't advocate for anyone who fails to make the finals to receive their own Wikipedia page (unless, of course, they manage to gain notability some other way - e.g. John Park (musician)). I feel that the show's finalists (top 13 this year, but this number also varies from year to year) should be treated differently a few reasons; besides the mere distinction that they're considered finalists, and the aforementioned fact that typically, all of their performances are released on iTunes (this hasn't seemed to happen yet this year, but as far as I know, it's a first for the series), various finalists have been invited back to the show in later seasons to perform. I'm pretty much positive that no semi-finalist has ever gotten this opportunity. --Jpcase (talk) 15:27, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I didn't realized this discussion was intended for all of the finalists, which is fairly ridiculous, but my reasoning stands for all - per WP:MUSICBIO #9 would apply. When someone is a finalist on this show, they are all but guaranteed local, regional, state, and national coverage, in print, and on television. Similar and derivative shows? Maybe. But this is the granddaddy of them all in the U.S. and even the finalists that are eliminated make a round of appearances as the latest one eliminated on other national shows. There is also a national tour that the finalists also go on, thus ensuring at least another round of coverage for each finalist.

I have posted the season templates below as a comparison, it looks as if only 8 out of all the years does not have an article, although they still have redirects to the season they were in. My hunch is that even those could be turned into a good article if someone put the effort to it. Historically though, the vast majority have articles, sustained over time.

Merge into the season article. Most of these people are not notable yet, and it is probably a WP:ONEEVENT for most. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 18:17, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What's leading you to the opinion that they aren't notable? They all meet the general notability guidelines, as well as the criteria found in Wikipedia:Notability (music). As for WP:ONEEVENT, that says "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." I feel that this would apply to all of these people. If you aren't very familiar with American Idol, then I understand why you might not think that it's a significant event. But this is one of the most watched television shows in America and it receives a massive amount of coverage by the media. The number of sources that could be produced on any one of these people is pretty much innumerable. --Jpcase (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Everyone's opinion on whether or not all of these contestants' role in this season is a "large one" or not is going to vary. Gloss • talk 20:14, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fair enough. I get that the size of an individual's role within an event is often going to be subjective. I'm curious though; what criteria would you use to determine whether a person's role within a competition is significant? You mentioned above that you would typically only consider someone who makes the top 2 or 3 as being significant, but would you extend that to every competition? What about something like the Olympics? Would an athlete need to have at least earned bronze at the Olympics to have played a significant role, or is it enough for them to have simply qualified for the competition? --Jpcase (talk) 21:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - The only other competition I can think of comparing it to would be Survivor. We're often finding the winners of individual seasons over there up at AfD over WP:BLP1E. So when I see the person coming in 13th place of a season of American Idol automatically being considered notable, it confuses me. Survivor is just as big as American Idol these days. It topped Idol in ratings this week and it's on it's 14th year running (longer than Idol, I believe). So when I see winners and runner-ups of seasons over on Survivor pages being considered for deletion but 13 contestants a season having articles on Idol pages.. I don't even know what to make of it.

In Survivor, generally the final four is considered a big milestone. In Idol, there isn't any specific number considered a huge milestone, so it would kind of have to be on a case-by-case basis. Sanjaya from years ago was notable though finishing in (5/6/7th?). But someone who finished in 3/4th of that season might not have anything else on their resume since.

From last season: Curtis, Burnell, Devin, Amber... all have articles but all are only notable for Idol's 12th season which they didn't have much of an impact on and they're all covered significantly in their season's article. Paul Jolley's article was redirected because of that... but somehow the rest remain.

We all have different viewpoints about this stuff, and it gets tricky. Gloss • talk 21:18, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer. I'm not very familiar with Survivor. However, to me, there's a key difference between something like Idol and many of the other reality competition shows out there. Nobody's going to become famous just for voluntarily living on an island and playing some games. Or take a show like The Biggest Loser - nobody's going to become famous just for losing a lot of weight. The people on shows like these are only famous because they're in a competition. As soon as the competition is over, these people pretty much lose any relevance that they had. However, a musician who finds a wide enough audience is going to become famous, whether they're competing for anything or not. If you were to show a video clip from Survivor or The Biggest Loser to someone who doesn't watch the show, they probably wouldn't care. However, if you were to show a video of a performance from American Idol to someone who doesn't watch that show, they could still appreciate it, since the appeal of music stands on its own. A lot of the people who go onto American Idol had already been pursuing music before, and most, if not all of them, continue to pursue music in some form after the show ends. A large number of them (maybe a majority, but I haven't checked) go on to release music professionally; some of their fans from the show will continue to follow them throughout their career, and even people who didn't know that they were on the show will discover and listen to their music. I would be very surprised if fans of Survivor or The Biggest Loser follow the contestants (or even the winners) from those shows long after the end of each season.

The contestants that you named haven't done anything yet, because it usually takes a long time for anything to happen in the music industry. It would be better to look at the contestants from two or three seasons ago. I know that at least ten of the top 12/13 from seasons 9, 10, and 11 have gone on to release either an album or a single. As for the contestants who go on the show and are never heard from again, personally, I feel that their performances on the show still carry some significance even years later. I see these people as musicians first and foremost, not just reality show contestants. The last criteria listed on Wikipedia:Notability (music) is "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network." That's the kind of exposure that thousands of struggling musicians across America would kill to have.

Since I'm unfamiliar with Survivor, I don't know what makes the top 4 on that show particularly significant, but I feel that American Idol actually does have a big milestone number - it's the top 13 (or top 12 or top 10 depending on the season). At that point, they're officially recognized as "finalists". If they only make it to the top 24 (or top 30 or whatever), then they're "semi-finalists". I don't know if Survivor uses the term "finalist" for any of its contestants, but this is how American Idol refers to the top 13, and to me, it's a pretty good indication that these are the people who have reached the "big milestone" point of the competition.

Having said all of this, I still feel like everything comes back to the general notability guidelines. Upon looking closer at WP:BLP1E, I even noticed that it gives us an objective measure by which to determine whether a individual's role within an event is significant or not - The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources. So if the coverage is there, then the article should probably exist, whether we're dealing with a contestant on American Idol or Survivor or any other reality show. --Jpcase (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of what you said further explains how different people watching different shows and having different opinions makes this hard. I'll speak for Survivor because I don't know much about The Biggest Loser, but yes.. the show follows up on past players at reunion shows of future seasons and when they're asked to play the game again.

My problem is just that you're saying it may take years (or however long) for them to go on to release a single or an album... but their articles should be created if and when that happens. Not held onto "just incase" they make it big after the show. Because for now, they're just as in violation of WP:BLP1E as any other reality TV contestant that doesn't win. Gloss • talk 23:26, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that the Survivor contestants would return to the show during later seasons. That makes me feel even more strongly that they deserve their own articles, as long as coverage can be found. You say that they and the American Idol contestants are in violation of WP:BLP1E, but I'm not sure how they are. As I pointed out, the policy states that an individual's significance within an event should be determined by the amount of coverage they've received in reliable sources. I don't know what kind of coverage Survivor contestants receive, but I don't think that I have to reiterate how much coverage Idol contestants receive. I'm curious how those Survivor-AfD discussions went... --Jpcase (talk) 00:05, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- If a few weeks pass after the end of the season and there's little new coverage, then on what grounds would you support a renomination for AfD? I feel that I've shown how all of these articles meet the general notability guidelines and music notability guidelines, and how they aren't in violation of WP:BLP1E. However, I'm actually open to reconsidering my viewpoint, if you or Gloss feel that I've misinterpreted any of these policies or know of another policy that these articles might violate. --Jpcase (talk) 20:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He was also in charge and during the controversial Paramakudi Riots where 7 civilians were killed when police opened fire on the mob. In the Commission of Inquiry that followed, the report deemed police action “absolutely warranted to maintain peace and restore normalcy”. Although the probe panel absolved the police of any excesses, it said the conduct of some of them after the riots were quelled was “disgraceful and at variance with the prescription of the Police Standing Orders, as could be seen from the fact that several rioters were beaten up after they were rounded up”^[1]. The report also noted that not all the deaths were owing to police firing but there were cases of “brutal” police torture of rioters by K. A. Senthilvelan, then Deputy Commissioner of Police, Adyar, who was on deputation in Paramakudi^[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diwan07 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 21 February 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

I believe the company deserve a place in Wiki since it's a registered company, has background and history as well as has done many community activities. The company is a bit new so not many press releases can be found but the CEO has appeared in New York Times Profile. The issue may lie in how the article was written, as the product section seems to have more attention than the company itself. It can be rewritten and then good to go. Tea Nguyen(talk)

Comment Two comments actually. Tea Nguyen works in the company's marketing department. Second, the company I work for is a registered company, has background and history as well as has done many community activities. What you're describing does not mean that my company is worthy of an article on Wikipedia. The company's notability does. See WP:GNG and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). If this is a case of WP:TOOSOON, then so be it, but it doesn't get an article on Wikipedia because it may become notable at some point in the future. I have nothing against you or the company.

Keep per WP:NBOOK. First of all, I found about 50 reviews of this book in Newsbank, which satisfies clause 1 of the notability guideline: The book has been the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the book itself. Second, certainly satisfies clause 5 as well: The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study. Oates's work is the subject of intense academic study. See here: [32], [33], [34], [35]. These are just from the first 25 out of over 1200 hits on JSTOR. Third, the nominator does not give any valid reasons for deletion, which is decided based on which sources exist, not on whether there are any in the article.

D'Penguineers[edit]

Only claim to fame is to have been a subject of a book. Such teams cannot have inherent notability (it's a high-school competition), and winning awards in that competition doesn't make the subject notable. Drmies (talk) 05:38, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being subject of a popular book is fairly good evidence of notability, and they appear to be leaders in their field. They also have some other media coverage (mostly local press).[36][37][38] You could consider a merge with the article on the book: The New Cool (book). --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:46, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. -- I was able to access multiple articles from this journal through EBSCOHost without issue and they seem to me to be on par with what would be expected from a nursing journal in regards to scientific quality of writing and research. This may be a small journal but articles from it are easily accessed via even google scholar. In rebuttal to Randykitty, if I'm reading what you're saying correctly about 'no independent sources', the articles I found were actually fairly well cited (13 citations for a 2 page article), further leading me to believe this journal has at least decent scientific quality. Heyinternetman (talk) 01:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EBSCOHost is an aggregate of 350-some databases, sort of a product brand sold to libraries as a package. Does it say what the origin database is? -- GreenC 01:16, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EBSCOHost is absolutely not selective enough to satisfy NJournals. And if there are some citatioIns that may mean that this journal has a shot at becoming notable in the future (but unfortunately, I broke my crystal ball, so I can't tell for sure). --Randykitty (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (though I am open to other information and may change my mind). The journal is indexed in SCOPUS, [43] and according to WP:NJOURNALS, "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 [which is that "The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area."] is to show that the journal is included in the major indexing services in its field. Examples of such services are Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Scopus." Jinkinson talk to me 19:31, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep given the indexing in Scopus, which I missed (thanks Jinkinson). Scopus is indeed explicitly mentioned in NJournals, although I must say that I personally find Scopus to be less and less selective and have seen some really marginal journals get a listing with them. However, I defer to the opinion of our colleague DGG, who accepts listing in Scopus as sufficient evidence of notability. Note: I am not withdrawing the nom, as there is one other delete !vote. --Randykitty (talk) 15:53, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Like Randykitty, I too am beginning to get a little skeptical of the quality of the selection criteria for Scopus. In some fields, I don;t think we really have any adequate replacement for it as a criterion. Medicine is however not one of those--it is covered quite well by JCR. The question is whether we want to restrict coverage to journals of the JCR level of notability (plus newer journals that will inevitably be listed there).
Weak Keep . I also have started to become a little skeptical of the quality judgments being made by Scopus. In some fields, we have no practical alternative, because there is no other selective index at all. This is true of nursing and other applied journals, such as this one--they tend to be ignored my most indexes. Otherwise in biomedicine, for publications in English from the major science-publishing countries, the Web of Science group however does provide coverage at a somewhat greater level of selectivity. I am not sure whether we would want to restrict our coverage to that level, and I wouldn't like to make the decision here in an individual AfD, especially because the trend over the last 5 years has been for us to have increasingly broad coverage for scientific journals, partly on the argument that it helps the readers of WP. (that is of course not a formal reason, but it is in practice no irrelevant). DGG ( talk ) 02:23, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Site had received significant coverage even in modern sources, easily filling WP:GNG - but these weren't cited (they are now). Given that a notable site which went down in 2004 would normally have suffered so much link rot as to be hard to support with its contemporary sources, I think the fact that it's still notable now based on active and recent web sources is a strong indicator of lasting significance.

The contentious material appears on the talk page and the current version of the article is almost completely unsourced, which for a BLP is not acceptable. The sources you've linked above do not make a case for independent secondary source notability at all, they merely demonstrate that he's a paid advocate for the gun industry, which is hardly a notable position. The first source you offer (nydailynews.com) isn't about the subject, it's about pro-gun groups in the U.S. and it quotes the subject as a paid advocate for the Second Amendment Foundation. So you've made a good argument for the article to be redirected to the Second Amendment Foundation, not for the independent existence of a biographical article on their employee. The second link you've provided (seattletimes.com) is again, about the Second Amendment Foundation and the subject's role as their spokesman. Again, you've provided an argument for this article to be redirected to the parent topic on the Second Amendment Foundation, not for the independent existence of a biographical article on their employee. The third link you've provided (piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com) is an interview with the "Second Amendment Foundation Founder and Vice President", who happens to be the subject of this article. For the third time, you've made a good argument for this article to redirect to the Second Amendment Foundation, not for the independent existence of this subject who does not appear to be notable, and as we all know, notability is not inherited from the parent topic. The last link you've offered (washingtontimes.com) has nothing to do with this subject at all. If you actually have a single independent reliable source about the subject, and not about or for the Second Amendment Foundation, then please provide it. Otherwise, I can see no reason not to redirect this unsourced biography to the Second Amendment Foundation parent topic. Notability is not inherited. All the sources you've offered are about the Second Amendment Foundation and the work that Alan Gottlieb does for the group. He does not appear to be notable outside that subject. Viriditas (talk) 03:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see what you're saying. However, I have been able to find other reliable, independent sources which discuss him in contexts other than as the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation: [49] [50] [51]. Thus I think he is not merely a BLP1E, and he seems, in my opinion, to have attained notability independently of the organization he founded. Jinkinson talk to me 04:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The first source you present, The Jewish Daily Forward, is an article about Jewish gun leaders in the aftermath of the Newtown massacre. Gottlieb is one of many people mentioned in the article. He's presented as the "founder of the Second Amendment Foundation and head of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms". It seems to me that his identity is inseparable as a spokesperson for the Second Amendment Foundation. The second source you offer is from Reason magazine. It's an article about a gun rights case, D.C. v. Heller, not Gottlieb. He is briefly mentioned as the "founder and president of the Second Amendment Foundation", and his position as the spokesperson is inseparable from the organization. The third source, an article in the National Journal, is about the failure of gun control legislation in the Senate, particularly the status of background checks. It briefly mentions Gottlieb as the "chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms", a group that, according to Wikipedia, is "closely affiliated with the Second Amendment Foundation". Looks like we are back full circle. I'm not seeing any sources about Gottlieb. Why does Wikipedia have an article on him? Viriditas (talk) 09:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Holds of Pern[edit]

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

This does not establish notability independent of Dragonriders of Pern through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary. I am also nominating the following related pages with the same issues:

Keep Holds of Pern - This seems like a case where the forked article (Holds of Pern) cannot be reasonably merged back into the primary article Dragonriders of Pern without the latter becoming unwieldy. This sort of thing is done frequently with no problems. The Hainish Cycle for example has articles on each of the books, but also the article Planets of the Hainish Cycle. Similarly Earthsea has articles on the series, the individual books and also Characters in Earthsea. And that's all just things you can get to from Ursula K Leguin's page. This doesn't seem to be any more cruft-y than the equivalent articles for other major series.

I'm in favor of a Merge of Fort Hold, Ruatha Hold into Holds of Pern and of Fort Weyr and Benden Weyr into Weyr. I'll leave it to people more familiar with the series to determine if Weyr is more cruft than content. Impression (Dragonriders of Pern) seems to be on the cruft side of the line, but I'll also hold my !vote on that. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 05:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, an overview of locations is appropriate for a long and influential series of fiction, though overall it might be better as a Locations of the Pern series that covers more than just holds. For what it's worth, there's at least two published books covering this topic, The Atlas of Pern and The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just because a series is older doesn't mean unnecessary content should get a free pass. The only reason these currently exist is because they were created when fiction was less regulated. If all of this content was currently in the main article, it would be culled down as cruft or moved to Wikia rather than anyone even thinking about splitting it out. The number of location articles has gone down from somewhere in the thousands to barely a few hundred in the last eight years, so it can't be said that they're appropriate content splits like 0x0077BE mentioned. They need to establish independent notability, and two in-universe, primary guidebooks aren't enough to do that. TTN (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selectively merge all to Dragonriders of Pern. None of these topics have been covered in detail by multiple sources independant of the series so none of them warrant standalone articles. The few articles listed here are just the tip of the iceberg in the Dragonriders walled garden and I hope we can eventually find a consensus to redirect a lot more of them. A separate article for locations of Pern would be an acceptable merge target as well. What is not acceptable is leaving the articles on the locations alone unless they have attracted significant analysis. Them From Space 19:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Fort Hold, Ruatha Hold into Holds of Pern, and Fort Weyr and Benden Weyr into Weyr. Keep the others. I think that there is a good case following Summary Style guidance that Holds of Pern and Weyr could be regarded as sub-sections of the Pern article. I'll admit that the Pern article has a lot of issues, but I feel that merging Holds of Pern and Weyr into that article isn't feasible at the moment. I must admit that I'm rusting about how WP:SS combines with the notability guidance, but I've always felt that if breaking out a subsection into a separate article makes sense from the parent-article perspective, then it isn't necessary to justify the child article in its own right, but only as a sub-section of a more-widely covered subject. And, as for sources, we have the "Atlas of Pern" and "Dragonriders of Pern" books, which definitely cover material. I suspect that we could find sources for Holds of Pern and Weyr from "Dragonwriter", "Dragonholder", "Anne McCaffrey: A Life with Dragons". There were plenty of reviews of the novels in magazines such as Locus - see here, but they aren't available online, so I can't check the content. Bluap (talk) 15:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and trim as appropriate. It is clear that articles about 24 books set in a fictional world need more specific background information than if the setting is familiar to the reader or already available in other articles, and that this should not be repeated ad nauseam in each article. This is common sense. These articles are clearly in need of a rework, though, which I expect will result in fewer articles and some content removed. This work should be done carefully since the book articles are currently written based on the availablity of the extra information. I suggest that editors contributing to this work (who will include me) create and maintain a progress rsport section in Talk:Dragonriders of Pern. --Mirokado (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you strike out filmography and instead called it a videography? While filmography is a list of films and it was indeed not the accurate word to use, the videography is not really a list of television series to make it right to use. Although videography is a process of making video, someone might call a "list of videos" as videography too. The subject is a television actor who appears in Indian soap operas and not someone who appears in maybe music videos.

Update: I guess "He won the 2005 BBC Radio 1 Beatbox Championships, and was named as a winner of the year's Channel 4 Talent Awards." might be enough for WP:NMUSIC? But it would need reliable sources to verify. Thrub (talk) 08:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There's a Sunday Sun article on HighBeam that confirms the Radio 1 Beatbox Champion statement, also a few more articles there, and several more found from a Google search. One would expect to find most coverage on Google News archive in this case, and while that's down it's difficult to know how much coverage there is. I think there is probably enough. --Michig (talk) 17:24, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

advertising and promotion The Banner talk 20:41, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are several economic development pages on wikipedia. They are governmental agencies, so there is no direct promotion involved. Please edit, if necessary, the parts that you find inappropriate and compare the articles to other economic development offices' pages. If it is clear which parts should be changed, there is no reason why this wikipedia page should not have the right to exist and inform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 11 February 2014— MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I would like to inform about the German state of Hessen and the Economic Development occupation as well as possible. I orientated myself towards other Economic development Wikipedia pages e.g. Georgia Department of Economic Development which have a similar layout. However, I do understand your point that each article is judged on its own merits. Would you please be so kind to tell me what I can change or improve?

Just make it a neutral, non-promotional article in style, tone and content. No endless list of companies present, no list of offices. Just the cold facts. The Banner talk 22:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will try to get to it as soon as possible, probably tomorrow. Please be so kind to give me a feedback once the article is changed. thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article would benefit from independent and reliable sources to prove the notability of this subsidiary. A history section about this company (not about Hessen, the economy or its parent company) would also be useful. By now, I have removed all irrelevant information, corporate promotion and name dropping... The Banner talk 20:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please tell me what else you would like to add?

Compared to other articles about Economic Development Offices this article is now short and less promotional. I think it is a good, short and informative article.

Jaql[edit]

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

Author removed my PROD. However, my point that this query language is not notable still stands. The sources given in the article only describe how to use it, rather than actual coverage. I'm open towards the idea of redirecting this to a relevant article, but I still don't think that this had individual notability. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 16:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand the problem here. This language is used in industry. If you want to remove this article you also have to remove PIG, HIVE which are peer languages and if the problem is that you think this language is IBM proprietary then PL/I has to be removed as well. I think this is a good starting point for an article and already gives an overview and links to the relevant information. Please let me know what is missing. Thank you very much. (BTW: I'm IBM employee but I'm not payed for doing this - just using this language in my day to day work and found that is was missing on Wikipedia) --Romeokienzler (talk) 18:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Romeokienzler and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry you got hit with deletion nominations right off the bat. WP can be a rough neighborhood these days. This forum is about WP's notion of notability of the topic, as described in the policy WP:Notability. The upshot is that to save the article, we must show Jaql has been covered in multiple publications that are (1) reliable sources (WP:RS) like papers, books, or news stories, (2) independent of Jaql's creators, and (3) in-depth, which in practice means at least a few paragraphs or page of prose. I've identified some publications that I think fit the bill below, but if you know of others, let us know about them. --Mark viking (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This paper is an independent reliable source and discusses Jaql in some depth, comparing it to Pig and Hive. This chapter in the book Connected Computing Environment has about 1 1/3 paged on Jaql and a comparison to Hive and Pig; the authors work for IBM India and seem unconnected with Jaql's creators, so perhaps independent enough and an RS. A third source is this paper which is independent and an RS, but is not quite in depth. There is a TechRepublic white paper on Jaql, but I haven't signed up to assess its content; it may be another independent RS that is in depth. Altogether the first three sources may be enough for marginal notability according to the general notability guidelines WP:GNG. The article itself is new and lacks secondary sources, but otherwise has no major problems. A marginally notable topic and and an article with no major problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 01:51, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The first link is very promising, although I'm not sure if papers count as reliable sources. I can't access the second link for some reason, while the third link, I can't access too. I'll be happy to withdraw this AfD if someone finds a source which is more in-depth, or if my question regarding the reliability of papers is answered. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:20, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Narutolovehinata5, this paper has been presented at the 9th International Symposium, Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies 2011, Shanghai, China and published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science at Springer. Among scientists this is highly recognized as reliable source. In addition it is described in two books, Link1, Link2. Please let me know if this is sufficient or if you need anything else. --Romeokienzler (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In addition I would like to mention that the authors of this Springer paper are form Heriot Watt University and not from IBM. Of course these whole BigData and MapReduce topics are relatively new in comparison to traditional programing languages. --Romeokienzler (talk) 07:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

City councillor in a city not large enough for its city councillors to pass WP:POLITICIAN just for being city councillors. In addition, article is sourced almost entirely to primary sources which do not demonstrate that she's attained sufficient notability to get past a different notability guideline instead; two of the footnotes, in fact, just link to other Wikipedia articles rather than to independent sources, while most of the others are to Twitter posts and/or the webpages of organizations she's involved with. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:13, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of notability as a politician. A search shows no mention of her outside of her own personal pages or a couple local articles. If there is more notability, the article should substantiate more. Scarlettail (talk) 06:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't actually think any city has city counselors who get default notability, but definitely not this city.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:29, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, per WP:POLOUTCOMES we currently do have a consensus to accept articles on councillors in major metropolitan "world cities" on the order of Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles or London, though for anything below that "elite" level of cities a city councillor has to be notable for a lot more than merely being a city councillor. So it's not strictly true that no cities get default notability for their municipal councillors — but it is intentionally set as a very high bar that most cities don't clear.
