Weak keep The references (which are secondary WP:RS from Canada and Panama, not primary sources as claimed) support WP:MUSBIO #11 (Panamanian airplay). The one primary link seems dead, although seems available at archive.org - no current promotional factor. Some additional coverage seems available e.g. ew.com.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback. I feel like from the articles provided there is mention of heavy rotation in one of them but it isn't independently verified. If you check the canada.com article and check the context it appears the entire article, and the assertion of airplay is just first person feedback from the artist/manager and not the journalist the article is attributed to. The article isn't even attributed or signed off by, the journalist cited in the wiki page. Lcaraway (talk) 22:53, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Lcaraway[reply]

Delete - I also found the EW article which is weak for establishing notability. There is the assertion of airplay, but I don't see any sort of coverage beyond the one time flash in the pan coverage here. Notability is not temporary, and this seems to be just a blip of temporary fame. I see no reviews of any of her work. In fact, I cannot find any evidence of an album or anything aside from the song and video. -- Whpq (talk) 15:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing this article! I will post some of these issues on the page's Talk page to clarify. - I am currently actively researching this individual and will add more information as I can substantiate it. However, since he died quite a while before the Internet, it is difficult to track down true original sources. This is an ongoing process, and the "start-class" wikipedia page has already attracted attention and led me to new sources.
Comments on Notability

45 years ago, Takagi opened what was probably the first aikido dojo in the western United States outside of California. It was also one of the first full-time, free standing dedicated aikido dojos in the U.S. (as opposed to rented space at a gym or as a college class).
Takagi was known as a charismatic and exceptionally talented pioneer of aikido, and was significantly involved in spreading and advocating aikido in the U.S. He was a central figure in the founding of the current American aikido organizations: Ki Society (1974), USAF (United States Aikido Federation, 1976), AAA (Aikido Association of America, 1984), and ASU (Aikido Schools of Ueshiba). Having achieved 6th dan in 1984, Takagi was a peer (and good friend) of the current leaders of those organizations, and also the large and influential CAA (California Aikido Association).
When Koichi Tohei (aikido's only 10th dan) demonstrated aikido for American publications and audiences in the 1970s, he chose Takagi as his demonstration partner on a number of occasions. Takagi appears with him in several of his most famous early photos as his "uke" and demonstration assistant (see links on article page).
The current leaders (2014) of the main U.S. aikido organizations are 7th and 8th dan (aikido ranks seldom reach higher, as you may be accustomed to seeing in other martial arts). Had Takagi not been killed in an accident at age 41 (at 6th dan), he would possibly be one of the highest ranking aikido practitioners, and based on his actions in life, likely a leader or central figure in today's aikido. Takagi was truly a pioneer in this country, having started aikido study in 1958.
To summarize, Takagi's name is well known and respected 30 years after his death, particularly in West Coast aikido. This article began when other instructors pointed out that his legacy and impact may soon be forgotten, since his peers, leading the organizations he helped found, are now in their 70s. Being on the East Coast, it has been difficult to source original documentation, and much of what I have written here comes from first-hand information related to me by head instructors around the U.S. As I am able to substantiate with external sources, I will certainly add them. There is little debate as to Takagi's notability within the aikido community, however, documenting it is on ongoing project.

Joe Shuri (talk) 22:07, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would also point out that this brand new article looks like it is currently receiving about as much traffic as Fumio Toyoda (another deceased U.S. aikido instructor and leader with unquestionable notability) and several others, e.g. Frank Doran and David Shaner, current leaders of key East Coast and West Coast aikido organizations and two of the senior American aikido instructors (both 7th dan). I feel that the history of aikido in the United States is currently poorly documented and that a number of the key early (and current) figures are not documented in Wikipedia; this page is a step to rectify that. Thanks! Joe Shuri (talk) 22:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about aikido, but I know a little about Wikipedia. The problem with this article is the lack of significant coverage in independent sources, which is what WP:GNG requires. There's little documented evidence to support the claims or the claims are irrelevant. Examples: probably the first aikido dojo in the western U.S. outside of California, was a good friend of people who now head major aikido organizations, would be a high rank had he lived, was used as a uke by Tohei. These don't really show notability, they fall more under WP:NOTINHERITED. My google search turned up nothing. No objection if you want to move this article to your sandbox and keep working on it, but right now I don't see any evidence that he meets WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE. If you can provide some then I'll change my opinion, but right now I don't think he's notable.Mdtemp (talk) 20:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, I am a new user on Wikipedia, but I have been practicing and been involved in the "politics" of aikido for more than 30 years. I feel that the history of aikido in the U.S. is poorly documented on Wikipedia, and with this article and a few others, I'm trying to rectify that.

I was not trying to establish Takagi's notability as a "good friend" of the senior instructors. As I stated, he was a central and active figure in the creation of many of them, including as a co-founder of AAA as documented in source #5 on his page.
He was already one of the few highest ranking instructors in the U.S. during his life; again, you may be used to seeing higher ranks in other arts, but I mentioned the current ranks as an example of how slowly senior practitioners are granted rank in aikido. He was 6th dan 30 years ago, when aikido was much smaller in the U.S. Today, when aikido is many, many times as large, the current leadership of most organizations is 7th dan. There were very few senior aikidoka in the U.S. in the 1970s, and almost none outside of the schools founded by the Japanese aikido headquarters.
The fact that Takagi's notability is well established in the oral and written history of aikido cannot be referenced in wikipedia, and I will continue to rectify that. His death decades before the internet, and the dearth of information currently available online, is exactly why this page should exist.
You will find few martial arts schools of any kind that have been in continuous operation since 1968, certainly only a small handful in aikido. Takagi's school was not only the first in the western U.S., he brought aikido to the western U.S. through his extensive travels and advocacy throughout the Rocky Mountain states. I cannot document that yet through published works from the 1970s, but verbally, he is well known for reaching out throughout many western states to help establish aikido where it never existed before. I have received several contacts by having this page available who are helping me document this - but at a slow pace, since this is no-one's top priority (and not my own, either).
Takagi was Tohei's partner in magazine articles and in public because he was a central figure as I described above, not by chance or friendship.

My inexperience with Wikipedia is probably preventing me from making my arguments well here. I have not read every page of the references and can't keep up with an expert like you.Most aikido organizations are non-profit; many instructors are not paid; as it is non-competitive (in most forms), you will not find extensive "sports" coverage of it (as with MMA). As a very traditional style, there is simply not the same level of coverage readily available as in other more flashy "for-profit" martial arts. However, there are many thousands of practitioners, and much interest in it, and I think that Wikipedia is a great forum for that. I cannot spend a lot of time on Wikipedia "defending" this, so if you are intent on keeping this from getting off the ground, you'll have successfully stopped my initial foray at documenting the pre-internet history of Aikido, which is currently mostly verbal. If that's your goal, I don't have the time to spend resisting it. I know your work is not personal, but I think that keeping this page out does the aikido community a disservice.

Keep Wow that certainly is a lot of text but the main point is that unlike professional fighters there tends to be far less press coverage for traditional martial arts like aikido and the fact that there is some (and the subject is not a BLP) is a positive thing. I believe the subject meets WP:GNG and the article does make a case for notability in US Aikido world.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me where you see significant independent coverage? I would love to make Joe happy and keep this article. I don't want to squash the enthusiasm of a newbie.Mdtemp (talk) 19:24, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Userfy~~ While I certainly appreciate the passion displayed by the author, the fact remains that the article lacks the coverage required by WP:GNG. This has always been a problem with martial arts articles, but that doesn't change the fact that, as it now stands, I don't believe the article shows notability. My google search turned up nothing supporting notability nor did I find him mentioned when I searched martial arts magazines [1]. I'd prefer putting this article into the author's sandbox until he can improve the sources, as opposed to getting rid of it, but I don't think this article is ready for mainspace yet.

Weak Keep Although I haven't seen the articles, I am willing to take KendoSnowman's word on it. Papaursa (talk) 03:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability follows guidelines in WikiProject Martial arts. Independent sources: double full-page, article with large pictures in Arizona Republic (largest mainstream newspaper in Arizona) was unprecedented for a martial art in 1973. Co-founder of a major national aikido organization per article in the main U.S. aikido journal. Six photos + text in national martial arts magazine listed. Lack of google-ability is to be expected -you won't find anything online on someone who died in 1984, it's all in print and still being dug out of old boxes.

I would consider that link to the Aikido Journal to be a passing mention. However, I am willing to change my vote to Very Weak Keep. I'm still not convinced, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.Mdtemp (talk)

A Critical Examination of the Social Contagion Image of Collective Behavior: The Case of the Enfield Monster by David L. Miller, Kenneth J. Mietus and Richard A. Mathers. The Sociological Quarterly , Vol. 19, No. 1 (Winter, 1978) , pp. 129-140. Available on JSTOR (subscription required).

This paper (top hit on Google Scholar) discusses the incident in great depth and mentions the media attention that it gained at the time - it appeared in papers "throughout the state" on 27 April 1973, and on 7 May there was an interview on radio station WGN, Chicago and articles (of what length I don't know) in the Chicago Daily News, the Moline Dispatch, Champaign-Urbana Courier and the Alton Telegraph. There were earlier articles in the Carmi Times.

People really ought to do a little basic research before they create articles on fringe topics. Gamaliel (talk) 15:51, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That certainly seems to put the WP:HOAX claims to rest, but I'm not sure that it establishes notability. Usually notability requires sustained interest in the topic itself - that paper is on social contagion and uses the Enfield Monster as a single case study. I would think that it would have to be a fairly well-known study to pass the threshold of notability. And even then, the article would likely be about the study itself, not the subject of the study. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 16:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "Unknown Creatures" book is self-published and not reliable. I'm not familiar enough with Fate to judge whether it's a reliable source, but from the article there it certainly seems Fringe. I also don't think that the first and last sources really establish notability for the monster itself, since it's presented as a case study in mass hysteria. To the extent that they establish notability, it's really only the notability of the reaction, not of the monster itself, which is incidental to the story. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 19:19, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fate is pretty much the definition of fringe. Gamaliel (talk) 20:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

0x0077BE, the article isn't about a "monster" – that would be WP:FRINGE. The article is about what happened in Enfield in Spring 1973: a set of incidents (caused by a kangaroo and mass hysteria, I suppose) that generally go by the name of the "Enfield Monster" – a much smaller version of those that make up the Loch Ness Monster article for example. It's this set of incidents that we have to determine the notability of, and IMO they have been discussed (for what purpose makes no difference) by enough reliable sources to pass WP:N. I've added Miller's Social Contagion paper and a 1/3 page summary that was printed in a Pennsylvania newspaper in August '73 to the article. There are without doubt many more newspaper reports: I haven't found copies of the contemporary ones (listed above), but the fact that they're mentioned by a reliable source suggests we can trust that they exist, and they all add towards the notability. —SMALL JIM 13:20, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not about the monster, why isn't it called Enfield monster incident or something? The first line of the article is "The Enfield Monster is a creature reported by several eyewitnesses in Enfield, a village in southern Illinois, United States in April 1973.". It's pretty clearly about the monster. The attention that a popular high school football star receives is just a "smaller version" of what professional football players receive, so again I don't see how that's much of an argument. Notability guidelines specifically indicate that coverage has to be sustained (not necessarily ongoing, but it has to be of interest well after its initial coverage), so a purely contemporary account doesn't help without reliable sources from later on. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 17:05, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1. WP:COMMONNAME for the article's title, and see Category:Cryptozoology for numerous examples. 2. You can rewrite the article if you want – it does need it! 3. The point about the "smaller version" of the Loch Ness Monster article is that such articles don't try to come up with a description of the "monster", they describe what has been said about it by others. If enough reliable sources have written about it, we can have an article. Exactly the same would be true of your high school footballer. 4. Sustained coverage? See WP:NTEMP, as long as it's more than WP:NOTNEWS. HTH. —SMALL JIM 18:22, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NTEMP is why I said "if not ongoing". A contemporary local news story isn't enough to establish that't is more than WP:NOTNEWS was my point there. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 18:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and to address concern #3, I think that the Loch Ness monster itself has become notable independent of any individual incidents of social contagion. Same with Bigfoot, Spring-heeled Jack, etc. They've entered the public consciousness as characters themselves. That's different from this case, where there doesn't seem to be any non-fringe interest in the monster, just interest in the mass hysteria event that swept through the town. Do we agree that there's a difference here? 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 19:04, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have struck one of the sources I provided above; it's self published. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:59, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Decent sources are mounting, and I think they will continue to do so. Apparently hundreds of halfway decent (e.g. American Monsters) to marginal or poor blogs, a scholarly paper, treatment in part of at least one reliable book (discounting the other self-published one), the Fate magazine article, mention in a few other marginal sources, and then I found this episode of Haunted Collector, a show on Syfy, which seems like a pretty strong source (though I haven't watched it).

- ...Also, the Reading Eagle source seems decent as well as a seemingly old and established, albeit local, newspaper. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing any "mounting" sources. A million non-reliable sources doesn't help establish notability any more than 5 non-reliable sources. The only thing close to a reliable source you've cited is the Reading Eagle paper, and that's a contemporary account in a local newspaper. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 17:05, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly are you interpreting WP:RS? The subject of a scholarly paper, significant coverage in a book, the subject of a nationally broadcast television episode, a newspaper feature-length article, a magazine article -- and all of them reliable sources. The "million non-notable sources" are not essential for showing notability, but do suggest that, for this decades-old subject, there are more reliable sources out there (i.e. unreliable sources that mention unavailable reliable sources). So, again, if these unreliable sources and the yet unseen reliable sources were the entire case for keeping, you'd be right to jump on it. But they're not. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not my understanding of how reliable sources work. The whole point of WP:FRINGE and WP:UNDUE is that fringe topics need mainstream coverage if they are going to have coverage in this encyclopedia. A show dedicated to fringe topics, even on a mainstream channel like Discovery, is not sufficient to establish mainstream notability, nor is a magazine devoted to covering all the fringe points of view. My whole point was that you can't count the unreliable sources at all, so you can't say, "Well we have one reliable source plus 50 unreliable ones, so that's close enough". The zero times 50 is still zero.0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 18:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The newspaper and article sources are reliable, but I explained above why I don't think they establish notability. The magazine and TV show are WP:FRINGE sources and not reliable. So far I see exactly 3 reliable sources - the book and article about social contagion and the newspaper article. I think the newspaper article can establish notability in combination with some later coverage of the same event, per WP:NOTNEWS. In my opinion, the social contagion papers may be enough to establish notability for something like Enfield monster incident, but not an article on the monster itself. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 19:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're using WP:FRINGE as rationale to call sources unreliable. From the top of that page: "To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea." It's about the role of fringe theories when talking about mainstream subjects, not that publications about fringe topics are unreliable. "Enfield Monster" is a fringe subject, so publications about fringe subjects are absolutely appropriate. If someone wanted to cite these sources to talk about a scientific topic, then you'd have a point. But this is a cryptid. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:30, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete After seeing the sources being put forth, I'm ready to vote. I am unconvinced by the arguments above about the notability. At best they make a case for redirect to an event-based article like Enfield monster incident or something. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 17:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The content of the article, whether called "Enfield monster" or "Enfield monster incident" will discuss the same subject in only slightly different terms. If Enfield monster incident already existed, a redirect would make sense, but what you're really saying is that this should be renamed. That the article title isn't descriptive or appropriate isn't a good reason for deletion. It can always be moved to a new name afterwards, but is the subject notable enough to keep? --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:30, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced that there's notability even for Enfield monster incident, but the case is stronger for moving the article there and reformulating it than for keeping it where it is, which is why my !vote is for deletion, but falling back to supporting a redirect over keeping it how it is. There's also probably an argument for WP:TNT anyway, since the existing article is about 90% in-universe, and a move to Enfield monster incident would primarily be focused on the mass hysteria and social contagion, and not on the monster itself. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 23:04, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's two skeptical books that mention the Enfield Monster. One is Superstition and the Press written by Curtis Daniel MacDougall and published by Prometheus Books. Unfortunately the book is out of print and hard to obtain but it debunks the whole case. The other is the book Everything you need to know about monsters and still be able to get to sleep by Daniel Cohen. Cohen wrote for mainly for young audiences but his books took a skeptical stance to such subjects unlike most other authors who wrote on the topic. And yes there are quite a few cryptozoology books that mention the case but many of these are quite unreliable. I don't have the MacDougall book, it's been on my purchase list for a long time. Sorry I can't be of help on this. I will change my vote to a keep if other sources can be found. Goblin Face (talk) 03:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The band charted on a Billboard chart, which is enough to establish notability via WP:MUSIC; I'm not sure why the nominator denigrates this achievement as evidence of notability (the nom seems to have changed his mind about this article for unclear reasons). The charting alone is enough to keep the article, but the band was covered by several music outlets, such as Allmusic, Alternative Press, HM, CCM, and Absolute Punk. (Album reviews, based on longstanding consensus, very much do count as substantial coverage in establishing a band's notability. I occasionally hear people attempt to argue that album reviews establish album notability and not band notability, but this specious argument has never gotten traction in any deletion debate I've been a part of; coverage of a band's work is coverage of the band.) Chubbles (talk) 19:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First off, not that it matters, but yes, I did in fact "change my mind" on this article's notability in the two years since I made that edit. Human beings tend to do weird things like that.

Second, you might want to look at WP:MUSIC again. For one thing, it says that a band meeting the listed criteria may be notable; things like WP:GNG can still override them. For another, bullet 1 excludes "trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings". (So this and this are out.) Album reviews do count as trivial because they are generally done as a matter of procedure, and also because, as the name implies, they tend to focus more on the album than the band. As far as Billboard, I maintain that while they do technically meet bullet 2 because of that, spending one week at number 46 on a genre chart is such a bare minimum of qualification that it's not even worth it. That leaves us with some guy's blog post about their breakup and a single CCM Magazine profile.

In conclusion, while they may meet one or two requirements of WP:MUSIC, the lack of significant third-party coverage means that they fail WP:GNG. My position, therefore, is still delete. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Invisiboy42293 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 6 March 2014‎

I don't think coverage by Alternative Press, particularly more than once (even if each individual piece is short), is trivial; this is a top publication in its genre, and it still presses a paper magazine which is distributed nationwide. The suspicion of album reviews, full stop, makes no sense; a third-party book review is evidence of notability of the author, a third-party film review is evidence of notability of the director, a third-party album review is evidence of notability of the musician. Invisiboy's WP:HEY standard, I believe, is well beyond what WP:MUSIC actually requires of bands and musicians, both in terms of charting and coverage via album reviews (both generally regarded as acceptable indicators). Chubbles (talk) 21:42, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Chubbles. There's enough coverage in reliable sources to meet the guidelines for inclusion set out at WP:BAND. — sparklism ^hey! 10:49, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep, just barely poking their head above #50 on a genre specific chart is probably enough to barely scrape them over WP:MUSIC criteria #2. I find the assertion that reviews automatically confer notability to also be a bit weak - if they're substantial and credible then sure, but a capsule review would probably not be substantial enough.

The filmmakers plan to release the film around the 2014 NFL season. DepressedPer (talk) 3:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Well... a release date doesn't really mean anything. Something can still achieve notability before its release. We have to have enough coverage in reliable sources to show notability per WP:NFF (future films). Offhand I noted that more than a few have issues because they're primary sources ([2], [3]), routine database-type listings ([4]), or articles written by an alumni publication for the college the director attended ([5]). We can't really use any of those to show notability. Now when it comes to the other sources, the one from ComingSoon.net looks to be a reprint of a press release, which is considered to be a WP:PRIMARY source regardless of where it is posted. The Austinot is a blog that seems to accept submissions from a wide variety of people, so I don't think it'd be the exception to the WP:BLOG rule. I think you could use it for some smaller things, but I wouldn't hinge notability upon it. Now as far as the rest goes, those look good. The Austin Fusion Magazine article was written by a staff member, The Wrap is always good as a RS, and the ABJ is good as well. It's a good start, but to really cement notability for an unreleased film, we need more. I'll see what I can find, but offhand I'm thinking that this might be a bit too soon. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:40, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That said, we might be able to rationalize an article for the director since he's done a previous work that has received at least one review. I'm not finding a huge amount out there for the film, but if I can't find enough for NFF purposes what would happen is that we'd make the director's article and redirect Intramural to there, but with the history intact so that when/if it gets more coverage we can always un-redirect and have the article history to pull from.

Keep. It's a borderline weak keep, but there is coverage of the production before, during, and after. True, much of it is local, but we have coverage that isn't. It's very, very close but I think it just manages to squeak by WP:NFF. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:34, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aiden Markram[edit]

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

Contested PROD. Original concern was that the subject has not competed at a level of cricket considered notable by WP:CRIC, but the PROD was removed with the rationale that he "is the subject of multiple non-trivial sources". Only one non-trivial source is included in the article, and the other is a trivial player profile on the same website, so if there are "multiple" non-trivial sources in existence, where are they? Furthermore, I have doubts that the more substantial source in the article should be used to determine notability, as the site it comes from is a cricket-specific site, and therefore it is within their remit to cover subjects that would be considered less notable by broader media outlets. Finally, it seems the article is making the point that Markram is notable for only WP:ONEEVENT; he may go on to do more notable things, but until then, it is inappropriate for him to have an article. – Pee Jay 12:07, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think it should be kept although I respect whatever decision is reached at the end of this discussion. I think we should improve this article and add links from outside of cricket sites. Aiden Markram was the captain of the U-19 South African team which won the U-19 World Cup 2014 under him. Also there is another player Kagiso Rabada who was in the same team and has an article in wiki (although it might be considered as an 'Other stuff exists argument'). Markram also recorded two consecutive century in U-19 ODIs which is a record. Itz arka (talk) 16:39, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Rabada meets the requirements of WP:CRIN having played List A and T20 cricket in South African domestic cricket. Hack (talk) 16:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the conditions for notability should be improvised a bit. As it states that First Class and List A players are notable, but doesn't mention anything about players playing in U-19 World Cup. In fact the U19 WC is telecast world wide while several First Class or List A matches don't even come to the television. Also U19 WC gets certain coverage by the media, but FC and LA matches don't get that much coverage. So certainly Aiden Markram is more popular than any less known & so called 'notable' FC players in South Africa. That's why I think WP:CRIN should modify it's notability criteria and include players who played U-19 WC as notable ones. Time is changing so Wiki should change itself too. The old days are gone and nowadays an U-19 WC is certainly as important as any other international match. Itz arka (talk) 03:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There has been a lot of media coverage of the Under-19 World Cup, in which he was captain of the winning side, so I believe that he is notable per WP:GNG. JH (talk page) 16:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above, particularly Itz arka's comment about centuries, if that can be cited? He will no doubt play FC or LA cricket soon (which I know is by itself a duff keep arguement) but as an inclusionist I can see captaincy of a winning U-19 world cup and the century think being enough to keep him until he plays top flight cricket. --S.G.^(GH) _ping! 21:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you can find the two-century streak here in Wikipedia in the article 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He scored 120* against Zimbabwe in the last group match and 105* against Afghanistan in their first knockout match in the next round. Itz arka (talk) 03:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be an autobiographical piece, with no accessible reliable sources and no verifiable demonstration of notability. The article was created in 2011 by User:Catscar, who has edited almost no other pages; expanded by User:Ozyman0308 - similar editing history; and by IPs User:24.207.116.79 and various other IP addresses, all in British Columbia, again similar editing history. This all strongly suggests that the article is an autobiographical puff piece of no lasting merit or importance. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - autobiography or not, the sources list is a mess. More than half of those should be in a publications list or something - they are primary sources with regard to the subject. They were written by the subject, they are not about the subject. Some might be used to verify certain claims within the article but it's difficult to differentiate between primary and secondary sources at the moment. On that basis, I'd probably support deletion (notability not being remotely clear) until significant coverage in multiple reliable sources can be specifically identified.

Redirect to Sofía Vergara. There's a case that she meets WP:GNG, but slightly too much of the coverage is about her sister and "Look what Sofia's sister is doing" or "Sofia is being mean to her sister"; little in-depth coverage. Doesn't quite meet the requirement of significant roles in notable works: her role in Chico de mi Barrio might be big enough (I've not found sufficient information to tell), but she only had a small part in Fright Night and the other roles are also one-offs or recurring guest roles in series (when I'd expect someone to be a regular at least for part of a show's run, or to play a very well-known guest character, to be significant).

To the following mentioned, these are my opinions;

A non-notable podcast run by one person- that is a generalization. What is considered a notable podcast?
A non-notable "Web TV show" run by one person;- This "Web TV show" has received a large amount of hits, and has done very well.
A crunchbase entry, the unreliability of which is demonstrated by the fact that it was written by the subject;
The subject's own website;
The TEDx clone at a university;- A clone? What makes you say that? I think it is clear who he is
A school newspaper (not university - a high school); What does it matter whether it is a school or university? It works either way.
The aforementioned "Web TV" show;
The "Teen Business Forum" (of the 'web forum' type, not the 'industry forum' type); There is no distinction. Just because the forum is new, doesn't mean it isn't industry
BusinessInterviews.com, tagline "We tell your story to the world!";- This is an extremely notable interview page
An interview on some guy's personal website.- Again, this personal guy's website has had other serious entrepreneurs such as Neil Patel on there. Neil has a wiki as well.

Of course, we can go on back and forth arguing about whether or not Chirag Kulkarni's links are notable enough, however, I, and many others believe he is of importance to be on wikipedia. I think we should take off the ban and proceed. There are many other people with similar links, and no one attacks them.

I don't think you can call it a web promo peice either. He is a seriously acclaimed and successful entrepreneur, who has done amazing things. Just because the SPA's are new, doesn't mean they should be valued. -Bobsimon232422 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobsimon232422 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, they're validated; the websites at the end exist. That doesn't make the websites reliable coverage, and if you think a high school newspaper qualifies (as seen above), you haven't studied our guidelines in any detail. If someone is going to upload the same page again, that's grand - if it still doesn't meet our guidelines, we can nominate it for deletion again - and if it's the same person under a different account, block them for sockpuppetry.

The high school newspaper is one article. What about the rest? I don't think you can contest the reliable coverage. There has been consistent evidence that the information provided makes sense, and is consistent across the board. Those are in fact legitatime websites. If this was a problem of inconsistency, then I would understand. however, there are 8 different links, which, I believe is plenty. Just because one of them isn't Forbes, Inc, or some other business website, does not mean it is legitatime.

- Comment None of the sources you provide actually devote significant coverage to the topic "Asia excluding Greater China" itself, and the third and fourth use it exactly as I said - as part of a job description. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:53, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Also, the sentence to which these references are attached makes absolutely no sense. What are "supernormal profits" (linked to a children's tv programme and the generic word 'profit')? What, exactly is "situated in Asia"? And if this is about new access to the China economy, why invest somewhere else? Note also that this meaning of "Greater China" is missing from Greater China (I think). There may well be relevant content which could be usefully added to that page. Imaginatorium (talk) 07:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Of course it is possible to find places where this expression is used, just as it is possible to find places where the expression "put the book on the table" is used, but that is not enough to justify an article on the subject. The question is whether there is any source that does not merely uses the expression, but devotes significant coverage about it. Neither the article nor my searches produce any such source. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:10, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The term does not seem to have the high level of usage or notability the article suggests. From searches, the term often is displayed as Asia (excluding Greater China), as if to indicate a clarification of what they mean, rather than a distinct type of practice. Information on why businesses might exclude China may be useful in different titled articles, but this article treats the actual term as distinct, when it does not appear to be.

Answer Well, what we want in a notable newspaper, they have an online version where they update newsfeed regularly and they have circulation. Offcourse they are not at the level of Jang or Dawn that you would find their reference somewhere, they have only been there for less than four years and I see the article does not have anything promotional in it as well, it only says that newspaper is there and their website proves the existence. Now I wouldn't pay a monthly web hostage fee, if i don't have a business, i don't know why would somebody else do that. Sajjad Altaf (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sajjad, We want a notable newspaper to have received non-trivial coverage in reliable and independent sources. I say it again a subject is considered notable at Wikipedia if it is covered:

non-trivially in
multiple,
reliable,
independent and
secondary sources.

Now I don't see it satisfying a single bit of this criteria. The only source in the article only has a passing mention of this paper. And Existence ≠ Notability. The argument that It Exists just proves that it is not a Hoax, I never claimed that it is a Hoax, neither did I claim that it is promotional. Also in a deletion discussions one is supposed to give an argument by explaining how a particular subject meet or does not meet any of the Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (related to deletion), not our personal opinions or what we think about the subject. Neither is this the venue to discuss alterations to these policies and guidelines. And I don't find reference to any policy in your answer. -- SMS ^Talk 14:25, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note I have added some refs which have elevated the status of this article, there is no reason to delete it, notability has established. Thank you Sajjad Altaf (talk) 06:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of WP:N. The two sources fail WP:RS, the first being primary and the second being a trivial quote from the paper. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note The second source is not a trivial quote, news stories of a newspaper quoted in third party source establish notability for the newspaper. Sajjad Altaf (talk) 16:25, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Based only on English-language sources, it fails WP:GNG. I think that there are people who who have already !voted and have a reasonable capability to search suitable non-English ones. Assuming that the "second source" referred to by Sajjad above is this one, it adds nothing to the notability claims.

World War A[edit]

Personal essay on a non-notable neologism and the very POV concept that it denotes. A google search found no one but the creator usign this term in this way. Delete unless reliable independent sources can be provided showing the term is in wide enough use to be notable and pass the WP:GNG. DES ^(talk) 01:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It has been tagged for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax, and on top of that, I consider it to be an attack page as well, with the target of the attack apparently being human society in general (which is a new one). It also seems to be part of a promotional campaign, which means you could probably throw in advertising as well. Jinkinson talk to me 02:02, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I declined speedy deletion because this isn't a hoax (it isn't intended to deceive.) I also don't believe G10 covers this, technically speaking -- intellectual theories concerning humanity's capacity for evil aren't the sort of "attacks" that criterion is meant to cover. Having said that, this is an unattested neologism that clearly needs to go, even if it escapes just barely speedy deletion. Xoloz (talk) 04:27, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is pretty much one guy trying to promote a neologism he made up. Now don't get me wrong: the general idea he's trying to peddle isn't new. People have been arguing that humanity has been mistreating and exploiting animals for as long as we can remember. However this article is more about the neologism and an attempt to promote the author's viewpoint. It isn't commonly used and the article is a pretty obvious platform for the author, who I'll note is also likely the editor who created the article. (This link is about a book by Herbert M. Garvin and the editor who created this is named Garvin641. Not trying to dox, just saying that it's extremely likely that this was a promotion attempt.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As such, I've tagged it as speedy deletion for something someone made up one day (for the neologism) and as an obviously promotional article. It's trying to promote both the term, the book, and the viewpoint. I honestly can't emphasize enough that this term is non-notable and not in use by anyone other than the author. I can't find it in use anywhere in this context to where I'd say that it would merit an entry or even a redirect anywhere. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:18, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is also a copy of the article in his userspace, so I've tagged that for speedy deletion as a way of hopefully preventing its recreation in the mainspace. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:20, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like someone moved it there with the hopes of the person cleaning it, but I'll again state that this is a very, very non-notable and very promotional article. There is pretty much only a 1% chance that this will ever become notable enough for an entry. I also have to say that given the very promotional standpoint of the article, this is one of those instances where I'd prefer that a COI editor not edit about their own work or keep a copy in their userspace.
