Speedy keep. No valid reason advanced for deletion. Article is not unsourced, and the NYTimes obituary of its founder is such strong evidence of notability that nom's failure to address it is enough to defeat the AFD.

Keep As mentioned in my comment under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brienne, this company is regularly cited (locally and nationally) in media for the innovative work (as judged by current news against top competitors) as well as the world record set by one of the founders, Brienne in direct connection with the Company.Wheysted (talk) 04:05, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are mentions of the company and its co-founder in that CNN piece and elsewhere in relation to the film She Started It, which does seem to me to be possibly more notable element. As for this company and Brienne, probably one article would have sufficed for the pair of them. Entefy may yet "tame the chaos of modern communication," a gag-worthy line that would still need to be cut if the article's kept. As for now, this may just be a question of WP:TOOSOON. If the company manages to garner some notability above and beyond being profiled in She Started It, then an article could be recreated. As for now, I agree with the nominator: delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:28, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She is not notable enough to be included in the Wikipedia and the allied and associated pages (including her company, her father's page and her father's movie) are insignificant, advertisement and created by the same user. Arashtitan talk 20 December 2015 (UTC)

To address the concern of my adding three pages in the same day, I needed to get the ball rolling so that I could continue to update each and flesh them out.

Regarding Brienne, she’s clearly highlighted by both local and national media as a “world record holder” as well as an up-and-coming leader in women tech entrepreneurship. In learning about her story, I consider her progress and coverage to meet the notability threshold for a wiki article. I’ve recently made some updates to the page to better capture this--referencing forbes, fast company, cnn, etc.

Also, the company, Entefy Inc., is readily mentioned alongside Brienne, both in conjunction with her success as well as of the impressive work they’re doing as well, thus the notability should reasonably extend.

FYI, in my research, I discovered her father and his connection to a bona fide film, so I updated his page with reference to his daughter and re-created the film page quickly, which I noticed was deleted previously for no real reason, that I could tell. I've made updates to those pages as well to address the advert comments. Again, my own research and quick content packaging.Wheysted (talk) 03:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Too soon. There are now a lot of sources after a refbomb, but most of them are interviews or superficial coverage in self-congratulatory Bay-area "start-up culture" blogs and borderline PR outfits. The rest are listing her as an example related to She Started It. Trying to assess the reliability of these sources is a great way to win at buzzword bingo, but there's very little indication of fact-checking or strong editorial oversight. One good examples is IT Business Edge (The website's banner says "IT Business Edge - an IT Business Edge site". How helpful). It's mainly an advertising outfit, not a reliable source. The "world record" she holds doesn't appear to be one of recognized significance. Has anyone verified this record? Who came in second? Who held the record before she did? Nobody seems to care outside of PR. The sources suggest that maybe She Started It is noteworthy, but I don't think that extends to Ghafourifar yet.

Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wheysted (talk • contribs) 19:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this comment, I did some additional research and uncovered the following:

1. If the question is around WP:RELIABLE, then the key citations from credible journalistic sources such as NBC's Press:Here, CNN Money, Forbes, Fast Company, San Jose Mercury News, IT Business Edge, Santa Clara University, etc. meets the reliability criteria. I appreciate you singling out IT Business Edge and your own opinion about it being "an advertising outfit." Would you dismiss CNN by the virtue of it being owned by Time Warner, an advertising and sponsored content driven media conglomerate? 2. Wikipedia's fundamental principals WP:FIVEPILLARS, specifically WP:5P2 states "Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view...Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong." So far, in these discussions for this article and the others, I have come across several instances of subjective editor biases rather than facts such as the following:

"Too soon." Not sure how this connects to this article.
"refbomb." After hearing editor feedback earlier in this discussion, I took diligent time to add sources to address some of the concerns presented by fellow editors. Happy to correct the refbomb if there's a better format.
New sources being dismissed as "...but most of them are interviews or superficial coverage in self-congratulatory Bay-area 'start-up culture' blogs and borderline PR outfits." I find the dismissal opinionated and subjective.
"...buzzword bingo..." Was this an opinion or an editorial fact?
"...very little indication of fact-checking or strong editorial oversight." Any evidence to support this?
"One good examples is IT Business Edge (The website's banner says "IT Business Edge - an IT Business Edge site". How helpful)." Opinion/sarcasm as well as logical fallacy. Regardless of IT Business Edge, refer to point 1 above regarding the variety reliable sources in support of this article.
"The "world record" she holds doesn't appear to be one of recognized significance. Has anyone verified this record? Who came in second? Who held the record before she did? Nobody seems to care outside of PR." Outside of PR? What does Wikipedia consider CNN Money, Fast Company, Forbes, NBC's Press:Here, etc.? Further, what is the basis for the world record being insignificant?
"...but I don't think that extends to Ghafourifar yet." Clear opinion.

Let's move to keep the article and let me know if there are any other improvements I can make to the page.Wheysted (talk) 05:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view, so brief, highly promotional articles do not carry as much weight as more serious sources which treat the subject in greater depth. This point is emphasized by relevant notability guidelines.

When I said too soon, I meant exactly that. See WP:TOOSOON.

Superficial coverage is something that Wikipedia articles specifically should avoid when possible, per WP:BIO, WP:RS, WP:NPOV, WP:DUE, WP:NOTADVERTISING, and many others besides. Interviews are usable for establishing content in an article, but are much, much less desirable for establishing notability.

The Forbes one is by a "contributor", which is a sign that it's a borderline WP:SPS. Forbes does still publish real journalism but now they also act as an increasingly indiscriminate blogging platform, similar to Huffington Post. Blogs are not usable as sources in articles about living people unless they are treated as WP:PRIMARY sources, in which case they are not usable for establishing notability. See WP:BLPSPS for more.

The CNN and Fast Company are both reliable sources, but they are brief articles about the movie She Started It, and as I said, the movie may be notable, but having been featured in a film of unestablished notability doesn't automatically transmit notability.

See the article about QuinStreet (IT Business Edge) to understand why I say it's not a reliable source, or try to find any page on their site that explains editorial policies. Regardless, interviews are not valued for establishing notability, because they are not independent of the subject. This is explained in WP:BIO. I was sarcastic because I don't believe the site is worthy of respect. The other interviews may be from more respectable outlets, but they are still interviews, mostly for local/niche-interest audiences.

Women at the Frontier, Women 2.0, VLAB, and MOGUL (website) do not appear to have the reputation for fact-checking and accuracy required by WP:RS. There are a massive number of blogs run by incubators and start-ups writing about entrepreneurship. Some of these are usable, but most are not. I checked the sites to try and learn more about them, but I didn't search WP:RSN, so maybe the consensus of other editors is that they are usable. I don't think they are, because they are either publishing aggregator content, or are advocating for a specific goal or agenda. That may be laudable, but not here.

The world record is a claim to notability, but it is not a legitimate one for Wikipedia's purposes, again, per WP:BIO. Fortune 500 or Guinness aren't specifically keeping track of this record, and nobody else seems to be commenting on it in general, so it's not usable in the way a noteworthy award would be. If taken at face value this is arguably an impressive feat, but nobody is saying where this claim came from, or how it could possibly be verified, which suggests that it's a form of puffery.

If you don't agree, I can understand that. This is often a messy process. We are having this discussion so we can reach consensus around policy. The process involves distilling a large number of policies, guidelines, and vastly differing interpretations of those things into something actionable.

Delete on notability grounds. User:SwisterTwister I noticed the redirect being turned into an article (hence no new page review) and I was just keeping an eye on it to keep the worse of the junk out while I waited to see if the authors would make any reasonable claim to notability. I didn't see any signs of it turning into a useful article, so I punted to the nominator to see if he or she knew of any reliable sources (games are not my area). Meters (talk) 07:14, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to say, Neelix or no, I don't object to restoring the original redirect if it's useful. In fact, if this article were to survive (as unlikely as that seems) the article should be "AtWar" rather than "Atwar", leaving the redirect still available. Meters (talk) 07:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:GNG with no reliable, secondary, in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. It appears all the current sourcing is either primary or unreliable (user-based).

Just noting that, whether or not the book is considered notable due to mainstream/non-Native press coverage, that does not mean the book is accurate or what the author claims it is.

Many missionaries are notable, but there have to be more sources than brief entires in biographical dictionaries. DGG ( talk ) 20:29, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad this question was raised. It should provoke some thoughtful (and I trust, irenic) discussion. I had written this article in response to a call for article creation by WikiProject Women/Women in Red/Women in religion. On the talk page for the project, I raised the question of notability. In this case, I believe she was added to their list because she was considered notable as a pioneering African-American missionary, an enterprise which had previously been full of Europeans and their descendants. And back at Spelman, she continued to recruit more to join her. She was not "just another missionary". Pete unseth (talk) 22:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clear notability. African American woman, whose parents were slaves, educated as a teacher in 1880s were certainly not the norm in her time frame. Nor were women, regardless of race, often granted missionary posts. That she was the first Spelman graduate so placed, is significant. Multiple independent sources cited in the file, but additional sources are found as well. here newspapers.com article credited with beginning Spelman's missionary tradition, acclaimed missionary with additional source citations, founded a seminary in Africa in 1890 Does not appear as if WP:BEFORE was done.

Quantum anthropology[edit]

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

This article is about an idea that society may be understood in terms of quantum mechanical principles. I'm concerned that this may not meet WP:NOTABILITY and WP:FRINGE, or the standards of coverage of scientific topics (falsifiability-can it be proven false? etc.) I've contacted the page's creator Wikiditor, who describes it as "an emerging fields, so I do not found more articles. I think that this could be a really important field. If you find some more information I will be grateful." Blythwood (talk) 20:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I refine it (that this is an emerging field). I will be really sad, if the article will be deleted. I spend much time on it. I think that for article notability you need two references and there is two scientific articles and books about it. Wikiditor (talk) 20:26, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I rather don't think those references all mean the same thing when they talk of "quantum anthropology"; many of them seem to use "quantum" only as a buzzword. The Wikipedia article's content hasn't changed since those additional references were added; they merely serve as window dressing. In particular, the new references largely predate the one in which supposedly the "basic principles of quantum anthropology were formulated". The content of our article is based on something published in a journal on theology, not either anthropology or quantum physics, plus some self-published paper not subject to peer review. It might theoretically be possible to write a decent article about "quantum anthropology"; this is not that article. WP:TNT applies. Huon (talk) 21:52, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article written by SPA promoting a non-notable BLP which fails GNG. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 09:15, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep It is difficult for me to recommend deletion of a person about whom Stern said Janet Zand ist so etwas wie Hollywoods Guru für alternative Medizin und Behandlungsmethoden. here. Zand was cofounder of Zand Herbal Products, that worked for more than two decades as a market leader in the herbal industry. "Hall of Legends 2015: Janet Zand". NewHope360.com. Penton Media, Inc. 23 March 2015. (indexed by Gale Group in Academic OneFile). She is an inventor, US Patent Issued to Board of Regents, the University of Texas System, Neogenis Labs on Feb. 24 for "Nitrite Formulations and Their Use as Nitric Oxide Prodrugs" and her many published works are cited. (GoogleScholar) There is an in-depth article about her in Smith, R. L. (February 1992). "Natural health care". Total Health. Vol. 14, no. 1. p. 37 ff. where Smith says that she was a trailblazer in the natural health world of herbs, homeopathy and acupuncture. In Dowdle, Hillari (May 2007). "Wise up!". Natural Health. Vol. 37, no. 5. pp. 60 ff. she was noted as one of the best minds in holistic health. --Bejnar (talk)

Hi, Bejnar. I'm not sure that those last sources you cited are reliable. It appears you have access to these publications (Total Health and Natural Health). Can you please link to or post excerpts of these? I am also not convinced that citing a patent is evidence that she is notable. The Stern mention of Zand is barely in-depth. That article mentions she is "Hollywood's guru for alternative medicine," which is a statement very complicated with WP:FRINGE issues. Delta13C (talk) 01:08, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The patent was used simply to show breadth of her work, and help explain why she is considered both a trailbrazer and justified in being placed in the "Hall of Legends", it doesn't go to coverage, but I do believe that it helps show that her research has made a significant impact in her discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources, regardless of whether it is a WP:FRINGE discipline. Both Total Health and Natural Health are magazines with both fact-checking and editorial oversight, regardless of whether they are dealing with a WP:FRINGE topic. Again, I accessed their full-text via Gale, this time via their magazine index. As the entire Total Health article was about Zane, I am faced with a copyright problem in providing a copy. You might check worldcat.org to see if a library near you has holdings, OCLC 909907187; or many public libraries and educational libraries subscribe to Gale daatabases, so you might have access quite nearby. (I used the Gale databases at my local public library.) The Stern article is again not so-much for coverage, as to show her position in the field, which I believe provides her notability, so long as there is other coverage, which there is. The Natural Health article covers a number of individuals, but with respect to Zand, in addition to including her at the top of her field, as background the author acknowledges Zand as author of Smart Medicine for Healthier Living (Avery, 1999), and goes on to discuss Zand's work with phosphatidylserine and its affects on memory and concentration. Not as much depth as I would like, especially as compared to the Smith article. The author, Hillari Dowdle, was a regular contributor to Natural Health. I hope this helps. --Bejnar (talk) 01:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your thorough reply, but I disagree on several points. A patent cannot indicate that the submitter is a "trailblazer." With such a description, you are using puffery, which extraordinarly exceeds the scope of the patent as a source of information about Zand. How does this indicate she has made any kind of scientific impact? Are there scholarly works to demonstrate this claim that you know about? I could not find any. I am suspicious of the magazines Total Health and Natural Health being reliable sources. They are self-claimed alt-med publications, which also suffer from fringe issues. What does being at the "top of her field" actually mean in terms of achievements, contributions, or other sources of notability? I see you write "phosphatidylserine" in your argument, but when I search for her name with that term, the only results are naturalnews.com and its ilk. Delta13C (talk) 02:19, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help you with your beliefs. I did not pick the word "trailbrazer" it comes from the Smith article, I prefer the pioneer, but that has its connotation as well. Look at her articles in GoogleScholar and how they are cited; it won't change your mind, but it might give you a better idea of where I am coming from. Generally, I am considered a "deletionist" (see [[11]]); but when I find more than sixty articles mentioning or covering Janet Zand in a magazine index which does not contain all the cruft on Google, I give things a second look. I am not one to exclude someone on the basis that their area is WP:FRINGE. The factual basis of what they believe may be flawed, but I find that true in the mainstream as well. We are not here to report "truth", we are here to compile a cultural artifact, an encyclopedia, that reflects the secondary sources. --Bejnar (talk) 06:00, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the guidelines for fringe figures apply here, and we do not have enough coverage to justify an article under such guidelines. I would also point out that lots of people, including my own father, have lots of patents (he holds over 20) but come no where near to passing the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:42, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In general, fringe sources in popular health are even more prone to promotionalism than are similar mainstream sources in that field, and are therefore justifiably regarded with some degree of skepticism.

Post-Finasteride Syndrome Foundation[edit]

This article does not cite a single reliable independent source that gives more than a passing mention to the subject. It serves mainly as a WP:COATRACK to attempt to legitimise a condition which is not recognised in the medical literature. Guy (Help!) 19:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A few glancing mentions in RS, but not the sort of coverage sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Alexbrn (talk) 20:03, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is counterproductive when you exaggerate. There are two reliable independent sources that discuss the foundation and its research from internationally respected publications. It is also not accurate to say the condition is not recognized in the medical literature. There are a handful of meta-reviews in the medical literature that acknowledge the condition although they do admit we need to learn more. For example, start with [12], [13], and [14]. This is an orphan illness caused by a pharmaceutical product so you will never see the same level of public interest as you will for a more mainstream illness or one where pharmaceutical industries have an incentive to acknowledge it exists. Regardless of how this turns out, if this page is deleted it should be revisited once the foundation gets more media attention which will inevitably occur once the studies are published in what looks like the not too distant future. Doors22 (talk) 20:53, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, the article contains no reliable independent sources which go beyond namechecks. You interpret the very short mentions differently, but then, you have been pushing "post-Finasteride syndrome" for nearly five years, almost form your first edit, so it seems likely that you are either a True Believer or, quite likely, a member or supporter of this group. Guy (Help!) 21:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Doors22: "that discuss the foundation and its research" ← I'm sorry, could you provide links to where this "discussion" of the foundation (yes, the foundation itself) occurs? Alexbrn (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge with Finasteride. The subject is important to those who are using or thinking about using these drugs. As indicated by Doors22, there are some independent WP:RSs. WP:Truth comes into play. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:17, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think we already cover this in Finasteride (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Nobody's trying to suppress The Truth™, the issue is whether this pressure group is actually notable in its own right. Compare for example the Morgellons Research Foundation which has many more passing mentions but was also deleted because none of them are about the foundation, they only mention it as a group trying to legislate a non-disease into existence. Guy (Help!) 09:45, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it was 7&6=thirteen's implication that anybody was trying to suppress the truth, but now that you bring it up it has felt like several editors have been trying to do so since initial links were established years ago. If this were not the case, why is every addition met with such hostility when Wikipedia is updated in an attempt to reflect the most up-to-date publications and incremental evidence demonstrating the syndrome? Over the past several years, nearly a dozen WP:RS have been added to the medical literature and the FDA even changed the adverse event label yet little has changed on Wikipedia to reflect the growing credibility.Doors22 (talk) 14:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was not accusing anybody of willfully suppressing anything. I simply think that this organization exists, and can best be understood, in the larger context of Finasteride, both pro and con. Fortunately, I still have my hair, although it is all grey. As my brother-in-law (who has a widow's peak) says: 'Better turncoats than deserters.' 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:59, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Please add them to the article, which currently has no sources that discuss the foundation. A quick reminder of WP:GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail." That's a hurdle the existing sources absolutely do not clear. Guy (Help!) 19:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This individual seems to have gone by his middle name Samuel. He is often referred to as C. Samuel West. This is a link to the website of an organization he founded [16], which lists him as C. Samuel West. Not really an indepedent source, but the start of something. I have to admit that I have to wonder about an article that name drops about people who spoke at a graduation ceremony where the person received a degree. That seems like reaching for links to something to make him notable that do not have any real meaning. If someone graduated from the University of Notre Dame the year President Obama spoke at the graduation, even if they were recieving a doctorate, we would not mention it at all in the article on that person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:50, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion per WP:G4 was declined on the grounds that the last afd was two years ago and that he's played for a new club since. However, the club does not play in a fully pro league and he has not received significantly more coverage, meaning the underlying notability concerns from two years ago are still valid.

Fails NFILM and the GNG, and violates WP:NOTDIR. NightMoves awards are marginally notable at best, were discounted by broad consensus as contributing to notability in discussions regarding PORNBIO, and fall well below the NFILM standard of "a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking". (The award is given by a non-notable local giveaway magazine passed out in strip clubs and porn stores). No independent sourcing, reliable or otherwise.

Speedy close. If this article is considered to be up for AfD at all, it should be done by another user. This is not the first time that the nominator has nominated an article I have created for prod or AfD without notifying me; he claims that I said that I had requested not to be notified by him of such notices, but I have never said that about courtesy notices (and if you insist that I did, HW, provide a diff for when I supposedly said that or else stop breaking the rules).

But back to the subject at hand, as I stated in this edit summary, if the award is thought to be non-notable, then wouldn't the article for said award be nominated for deletion first? Otherwise, what's being said here is that the film shouldn't be here because it won a notable award. (In addition, WP:NFILM doesn't specifically mention anything about pornographic films.) Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 03:24, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An award having a Wikipedia article doesn't necessarily make it a major award for purposes of WP:NFILM. The NightMoves award is not even considered major for the purposes of WP:PORNBIO. It would not pass NFILM even if won an AVN Award given AVN's incestuous relationship with the industry. • Gene93k (talk) 18:46, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In 2002, the St. Petersburg Times (reliable source/independent of the subject) stated that the NightMoves Awards were "the third largest in the porn industry". Other porn industry award ceremonies held in 2002 include AVN, XRCO, Venus, and NINFA, which are all considered well-known/significant industry awards by consensus, satisfying PORNBIO ([19], [20], [21], [22], [23] & [24]). The St. Petersburg Times article doesn't mention what the two largest were, though I assume they were AVN and XRCO. Regardless, we've got these 4 well-known/significant industry awards and NightMoves is bigger than at least two of them. If you want to debate the specific award category, that's fine, but the ceremony is definitely well-known/significant. And Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, if you think you can use the "delete" outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bunny Luv as a precedent for all AfD's for NightMoves recipients, you're wrong. That would be as dishonest as trying to use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helen Duval to argue that ALL Venus Award categories aren't notable. The consensus in both of those discussion was that the specific categories didn't meet PORNBIO because they were only awarded in two years, not that the ceremonies weren't notable. I'm not here to vote, I just want to point out that what is under discussion here is the award category, not the ceremony which is undoubtedly notable. Rebecca1990 (talk) 05:28, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Please be aware, Rebecca1990, that there is no requirement to notify the article creator of an AfD. Here is the relevant language: "While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion." Accordingly, your accusations of "breaking the rules" or disruptive editing are without merit.

You seem to be under the impression that if a notable topic writes about something, or gives an award to something, that this automatically confers notability on that other thing. Consider the Nazi hate newspaper Der Stürmer and the bizarre grocery store checkout line newspaper Weekly World News. Both newspapers are highly notable and worthy of scholarly study, and at the same time, both are utterly unreliable and absolutely worthless for establishing notability. You are confusing notability with reliability. Notable sources can be completely unreliable, and often are.

There is no consensus among editors that winning a NightMoves award confers notability on a porn film or performer. None. Lacking clearcut consensus, this article should be deleted. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:01, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I'm not the one who created an article for this film and complained for not being notified about it's AfD, that was Erpert. See? Secondly, I did not refer to the St. Petersburg Times as a "reliable source/independent of the subject" simply because it is notable enough for a WP article. That is not how I determined that it is a reliable source. If you actually read the WP article for the St. Petersburg Times AKA Tampa Bay Times, you'll see that it has won numerous Pulitzer Prizes, which proves that it is reliable. I also didn't say that St. Petersburg Times writing an article on the NightMoves Award automatically makes it notable (I know that WP:GNG requires multiple reliable sources in order to be notable, a criteria which NightMoves satisfies by the way), I cited a specific quote from the article stating that NightMoves was the porn industry's third largest awards ceremony. The article was written in 2002 and we have at least four other awards which were also given out that year and are by consensus, notable. I was just pointing out that it is ridiculous not to consider NightMoves notable when there are awards smaller than NightMoves which we do consider notable. Rebecca1990 (talk) 06:40, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for getting the comments of two editors confused. Maybe it has something to do with the indenting. The first part was intended for you, Erpert. There is no doubt that the Saint Petersburg Times is a reliable source, but they did not write about this porn film series. I accept for the sake of discussion that the NightMoves awards may be notable, but I do not agree that winning that award confers notability in itself on either porn films or porn performers. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Really? The very first criterion of PORNBIO says that winning a notable award is exactly what confers notability ("[the subject] has won a well-known and significant industry award"); moreover, you just acknowledged yourself that the NightMoves Award is notable. If certain categories of NightMoves are questioned on determining notability, that should be saved for another discussion; and as I hinted at above, that should be determined first. (BTW, if you think that my "accusations" of the nominator are without merit, um...you did read the diff I posted above, didn't you?) Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 16:16, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It should be obvious to all experienced editors that "notable" is a far lower threshold than "well known and significant". For example, a one term Ohio state legislator who served in 1843-1844 is notable according to WP:POLITICIAN but certainly not "well known and significant". Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:35, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So the subject isn't well-known and significant because it isn't notable right now? You might want to read WP:NTEMP. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...}

Please try to understand what I actually wrote, Erpert. My example one term 19th century Ohio state legislator is notable forever per our notability guidelines for politicians, and ought to have a biography here. That does not mean that he is "well known and significant", which is a far higher standard. Whether or not NightMoves is "well known and significant" as a porn award is a matter for consensus among interested editors. I say "no". Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:27, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Um...notability for anything on Wikipedia is permanent once said notability has been established. But let's end this here and get back to the topic at hand. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 06:31, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD's I cited above determined that the AVN, XRCO, Venus, and NINFA awards are not only notable, but also well-known/significant enough for their recipients to pass WP:PORNBIO. NightMoves is bigger than two of those awards, so it is also well-known/significant. Like I said, what is under discussion here is the award category, not the entire ceremony. Rebecca1990 (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails GNG and NFILM as the nominator states. Run of the mill porn without significant coverage by independent reliable sources. None cited in the article. None found in independent searches. • Gene93k (talk) 18:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think we need to slow down here a bit and not try to be so fast & loose with the facts. AVN has no more of an "incestuous relationship with the industry" that it covers than the Academy Awards do with the industry that they serve. I am not aware of any string of recent AfDs that has blanketly determined that the "NightMoves award is not even considered major for the purposes of WP:PORNBIO". "Amazon" is not being used as a source in the article under consideration here, and the sources using IAFD & IMDb are for nothing out of the ordinary (release dates, director credits, running times, etc.).

The lesbian adult film series in question here won a NightMoves Award in one of the only categories that it likely was qualified to win an award (Best All-Girl Release (Fan's Choice)) for...it is yet another fan-based award, which might be considered to be less significant than this ceremony's Editor's Choice Award. There are surely some more significant award categories at the NightMoves Award, and there are likely even less significant award categories at that award ceremony. The relevant standard here under NFILM though is: "The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking ... Standards have not yet been established to define a major award, but it's not to be doubted that an Academy Award, or Palme D'or, Camera D'or, or Grand Prix from Cannes would certainly be included. Many major festivals such as Venice or Berlin should be expected to fit our standard as well." Guy1890 (talk) 02:51, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Before nominations were removed from PORNBIO, that guideline explicitly stated that the FAME awards were included. The only thing removed from PORNBIO regarding the FAME awards was nominations, but only because ALL nominations for ALL porn awards were excluded from PORNBIO. FAME awards, as long as they are wins, are still considered well-known/significant awards and they are fan voted. A Fan's Choice win is NOT less significant than an Editor's Choice win. Rebecca1990 (talk) 05:23, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, there is no consensus that winning a NightMoves award confers notability on a porn actor or a porn film. I will continue to oppose that as a pass to notability. Vigorously. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Funny, it seems to work just fine for Keisha Grey and Jillian Janson. Anyway, if I'm missing the discussion where consensus was reached that NightMoves wins don't count, please direct me to it. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 06:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff exists. I will put those other articles you mentioned on my watch list and chime in if they are nominated for deletion. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that you didn't respond to the second part of my statement. Simply saying that a consensus was reached isn't enough; you should be able to prove it. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 07:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please try to understand what I actually wrote, Erpert. I mean what I say, and nothing more. I never said that there was a clear consensus that winning a NightMoves award does not confer notability. Instead, I said that consensus in favor of that is lacking. The burden is upon those editors who favor the simple winning of a NightMoves award as an assurance of notability to build consensus for that. I will oppose any such consensus. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (for now)/Userfy per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girlvana, which established that a minimum of two different films within a pornographic film series must win an award for Wikipedia to have an article for the whole series. Girlvana won two AVN Awards for "Best All-Girl Release", the exact same award as Please Make Me Lesbian!, but from a different ceremony. Although this is a notable (both the ceremony & category) award, multiple wins are required. The series has won only one award at the moment, but that award does contribute to it's notability. It just needs to win one more award before we can restore the article. Rebecca1990 (talk) 06:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Four of the five award wins are for very obscure awards, falling short for PORNBIO. The fifth, AVN, is arguably scene-related, excluded from PORNBIO.

  - It is sarcastic as well as the Delete. Personally, I am tired of a select few Wikipedian editors and admins deciding what is "notable" and what is not according to a very vague and subjective set of guidelines. To me, that is not the intent of Wikipedia or its mission. Just because someone hasn't won a specific number of awards or been significant enough in someone's point of view, does not make them unworthy of having an entry in Wikipedia. It isn't like this entry is here in lieu of someone else that may be more significant. People have gone through the time and effort to create & maintain articles. This needs to be respected.

Strong Delete - I'm looking at his university biography [27] and there is nothing to suggest he's a specialist in anything related to the UK other than what is apparently an isolated thesis on the residential layout of two Birmingham suburbs [28] which hardly qualifies him for WP:N. Other than what appears to be a Livestream interview [29] he has no footprint in anything other than blogs and a rather tedious bibliography. After going down several rabbit holes attempting to locate decent sources in Japanese to no avail, I'm almost inclined to push for this article to be salted. Jun Kayama 05:33, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - No indication of notability has been provided, so I think that this article also fails WP:ACADEMIC.--Infinite0694 (Talk) 13:15, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think counterargument is difficult but I tell about in Japanese Wikipedia's talk.--永続繁栄 (talk) 02:56, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I read your comment, and all you did was agree with someone else with a severely flawed argument. Having tenure at Tokyo Keizai University for 20+ years and being an administrator on the Japanese Wikipedia side of the house fails WP:N. The mess of coverage used as references for that article is on the TKU internal servers on Yamada's own blog page (it clearly says 私的ページ：山田晴通 here [30] here [31] and pages like this [32] or this [33] are hosted on his personal page which is completely unacceptable for use as WP:RS. Japanese Wikipedia has different standards for what is acceptable in terms of references (which accounts for massive differences in articles such as those for AKB48 [34] [35]) by including reams and reams of anecdotes, which is fine - that's how Japan runs everything in print, but that laxity does not change the ground truth: Yamada has absolutely no footprint outside of Japan worth speaking of and this article fails to meet WP:NACADEMICS.

Flower of Life (geometry)[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

This is a weird one. voted to be deleted earlier this year, it wasn't. It's not clear why. The only real references to this term being used to describe a geometric pattern are:

one advertisement/blog
An extreme fringe webpage, of no notability "I believe the complete ancient flower of life is an inter-dimensional tool, a portal, a stargate, a window into what some call the inter space plains."
A likely self-published report from a non-notable new-age workshop
A Mathworld entry (the one half-decent source)

This is enough to justify a Wiktionary entry, certainly, but not the article, which is a WP:COATRACK, using the existence of a somewhat-notable pattern to hang a Synthesis of sources, many of which not referring to the flower of life, a huge amount of original research, and a list of unsourced New Age terminology which may - or, more likely, may not be - of any notability.

There are few links to this article, fewer justified.

At the very least, this article needs completely gutted, but if we do that, we run into WP:NOTDICTIONARY. As such, I think we're better off deleting it. We might be able to justify a very brief discussion in tessellation, however. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note - it was deleted, but it looks like a user made a copy, and later dumped it back into article space with a slightly different title. It was then required to restore the history of the original article for attribution, but the logs don't quite correspond: it's mangled with Flower of Life (manga) which seems to be where sloth monkey is involved from. Pinging Just Chilling and HighInBC. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:03, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have not yet checked if this is significantly different than what I deleted, it is very early here. It sure looks familiar. I will check it out after my coffee if another admin does not compare before me. HighInBC 18:07, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy your coffee! My analysis is based on the diff I posted still including the AfD header. What exists now has definitely been significantly edited and in fact already survived a more recent AfD (the one called Flower of Life (geometry) so whether or not it's a copy seems to be moot. But it still might have issues. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay yes, I do have a vague memory of this being userfied and then improved. I suppose this new AfD is the best way forward. HighInBC 18:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt all titles - fringe, fails WP:NEOLOGISM, so sick of this being recreated by this guy's followers —Мандичка^YO 😜 19:33, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There have been three phases in the evolution of the subject. Firstly we had multiple occurrences on/as historical artefacts. These are probably unlinked with likely different meanings. Then New Age author Melchizedek took a shine to this symbol, gave it a catchy name and imbued it with doubtful mysticism. The third phase has been the subsequent 15 years or so when it escaped into the wild and there have been widespread appearances of this pattern in popular culture, fashion, jewellery etc. mostly with the appellation 'Flower of Life'. To take just one example, a Google search for "Flower of Life" produces pages of products of this pattern and with this name. What we have now is a widely used definitive geometric pattern with a generally accepted name. There are enough sources out there to meet WP:GNG. Yes, the article and a number of the references are flawed but this is progressively being fixed and meanwhile per WP:NEXIST the deficiencies, some of which are highlighted in this discussion, are not grounds for deletion. Just Chilling (talk) 20:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, products to sell for money by promising healing powers or whatever. Not the same as WP:RS. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:01, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~Rename the mathematics to overlapping circles grid, see discussion below. Currently the article is necessarily poorly-cited WP:OR (hopeful Google searches that fail to pull up any WP:RS notwithstanding) on a WP:FRINGE aspect of supposedly sacred geometry. The arrangement of six circles to create a six-pointed star and a hexagonal array is not remarkable in itself, appearing in a variety of mathematical objects and inevitably in random pieces of art; but the pulling-together of unrelated materials (yeah, even a Da Vinci example, eat your heart out Dan Brown) is totally unencyclopedic. If deletion was already agreed in an earlier AfD I'd say there was probably a mandate for speedy deletion. BTW MathWorld is not necessarily a reliable source; and no, having got the article to GA, we don't want this in Tessellation either. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:13, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ (expanded below Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2015 (UTC)) but this article needs to be significantly refocused. It's certainly a known stylistic pattern, like houndstooth or gingham, or maybe a geometric pattern like the Sierpinski triangle or the Mandelbrot set and the sourcing is good enough for that. What's not fine is the prominence we've given the fringe mysticism that's become associated with this. Melchizedek's supposed history stemming back to Egyptian and other culture is highly doubtful, as noted by sources used in this article. We should mention it, but treat it as a WP:FRINGE topic. We repeat Melchizedek's theories right in the lede as though they're scientific fact, but that's way off from what I can tell. But that is not a deletion rationale, it just needs work. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if we take out all the supposed history and the fringe theories, what would be left? Even the title is distinctly flaky. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not take out completely, just trim significantly. We could start with Martha Bartfeld's original development of the design in the 1960s, before she fell in with the New Age crowd. We can discuss the historic appearances of the design in various cultures, minus the synthesized implied mysticism. And we can mention the New Age stuff, so long as it's confined to its own section and given due weight and appropriate framing. It's just the "this is a symbol sent by God! there can be no other explanation!" tone that needs to be gone. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:34, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector: Martha Bartfeld is NOT a reliable source. As I pointed out in previous AfD, her coloring books are self-published. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's a thing, in the end. Good arguments on both sides, but there's a notable core there. Per Ivanvector. Johnbod (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

and fine with the rename Johnbod (talk) 16:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ because WP:DINC. It's clearly WP:RS, and the MathWorld reference convinced me that this is an appropriate name for it. My problem with the article is, like many others have noted, the WP:UNDUE weight on new age mysticism stuff. De Guerre (talk) 03:13, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. The content is broadly OK, but the title gives undue weight to a coining by a single nutter. Guy (Help!) 10:01, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The content is broadly OR and needs chopping, but yes, if we are going to keep this then we need a notable title for it, and we don't seem to have one. It wasn't named until recently, it seems, and no other name seems to have stuck. Is there a decent precedent for creating an article where no reliably sourced name exists? Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:20, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~MOVE ~~- Are we going to have this discussion once a month?~~ to overlapping circles grid with geometric material and historical usages without focus on flower of life name. Tom Ruen (talk) 15:32, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the delete discussion from last monthThe result was no consensus. (non-admin closure) sst✈discuss 08:09, 13 November 2015 (UTC)) Tom Ruen (talk 10:31, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for that seems to be that a) the article has been deleted and recreated; b) it's full of OR and has a title sourced to exactly one, not very reliable source. The article contains some mathematics which is really about another topic altogether, which along with the not-very-good-title is causing us all difficulty in identifying what the article is about. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:38, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's a pattern that exists without a name. A non-notable New Age guru dubbed it "Flower of Life" (WP:NEOLOGISM) and his followers push the association. It's full of synthesis and OR. —Мандичка^YO 😜 21:59, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@—Мандичка: Curiously, nobody disagrees with us about the synthesis, OR, and lack of a name; and we don't disagree with them that the pattern exists. We just think, however, that lack of WP:RS is grounds for deletion (doh, fails WP:GNG), whereas they think mere existence is enough. We are mandated, I think, to remove all the WP:SYNTH from the article, which will not leave a lot. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:33, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A no consensus result isn't exactly a vote of confidence (even if it has the same immediate effect as a keep result). Hopefully this debate won't end the same. clpo13_(talk) 23:26, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, in my view the 'no consensus' close was a very bad close. My reading of the discussion was that it was a clear 'keep'. However, accepted practice is not to challenge 'no consensus' closes at DRV. Just Chilling (talk) 01:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History: The recreation of the article earlier this year was an out-of-process end-run around DRV, but the previous AfD trumps any concern over that hiccup. The MathWorld-liness of the article is perhaps what is most keep-worthy about this piece, but I wonder whether the name "Flower of Life" has become something of a circular citation in the sense that I'm not convinced that Wikipedia itself has not had a hand in promulgating the name "Flower of Life" for this rather prosaic design. Still, we are perhaps getting to the point where we're crossing the threshold from Wikipedia being used as WP:SOAP inappropriately to having to accept that, Wikipedia having been used as WP:SOAP, the outside world has been affected enough for us to have crossed the threshold of notability. As soon as I saw the Cold Play album cover and the associated commentary I knew that things would get confusing. As for content, I would argue that the mathematical "WP:OR" some have pointed to as existing in the article isn't properly original research in the sense that our policy outlines. On the other hand, a lot of the speculation as to "history", ancient temple designs, and the spirituality of sacred geometry is probably best left marginalized per WP:PROMINENCE. I wish there was a good article to merge the mathematical content in this one to, but, alas, I cannot find one. Vesica pisces may come closest. jps (talk) 12:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe, but the math stuff is virtually stand-alone wrt the rest of the flowing prose. I wonder if User:David Eppstein could help us out with identifying a mathematics article as a merge target? (If indeed the maths stuff isn't copied from another article already...) Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I added the "maths stuff", i.e. Construction section, to show the basic geometic relations included in this figure. The Metatron's cube section was moved here as a merge operation from that article which was deleted, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Metatron's_Cube. I also add the math connection there that I could find. My approach to Wikipedia is an inclusionist, so if people are going to create imaginary sacred geometry figures and it gets pulled into popular culture, I figure we might as well offer a small and accurate geometry lesson along the way. The only other place it might belong would be an article like seven overlapping circles grid using sources like this: [36] and [37]. Tom Ruen (talk) 13:19, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion. No offence to the maths, but yes, it does look as if it had multiple origins, as you confirm. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:24, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This, I think, could be a way forward. Overlapping circles grid seems to me to be a more appropriate title so that we can include all iterations and constructions. Then we could properly WP:WEIGHT the New Age speculation to a subsection of that article which would be more appropriate to its actual treatment in the reliable sources literature. jps (talk) 13:37, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another usage of this circle pattern I found is in quilting is called diamond-wedding-ring, and the older square grid version was called double wedding ring, and seen at Quilt#Block_designs. I'm not saying that has anything to do with this topic, only that the quilting usage, if properly referenced on wikipedia can be cross-linked, and another reason to find another home for the circle pattern away from the flower of life naming. So as you say an article overlapping circles grid could source both the hexagonal and square circle patterns. Tom Ruen (talk) 14:09, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Most of what's left behind would be pure OR, however. I'll modify my !vote accordingly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:24, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I attempted a conversion for a potential move to overlapping circles grid, from material in this article. I included a new section for the square lattice variation. It obviously needs more work, but at least it properly refocuses the pattern from the Flower of life material. Tom Ruen (talk) 15:22, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to overlapping circles grid and close. The article as it stands now looks notable, but almost entirely not about sacred geometry mysticism, the subject of the old name. So I think the AfD has become moot and should be closed. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to overlapping circles grid. I'm really glad we finally found the proper name for this thing. Problem solved. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 20:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC) IMHO, the article's content looks fairly decent now, though I think I'm still spotting some non-RS references. But it looks to me like the things that we can say about this pattern, based on the reliable sources, justify us having this article. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 20:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If it matters, while I think the deletion discussion was right given the weird history of previous discussions and other issues, the refocus to a better target subject, and the work put into it has justified this being kept. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:49, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- A rename outcome can certainly be a legitimate result of an AfD. It saves us having to have a move discussion and since the potential target article has been created, it will have to be done by an administrator anyway. jps (talk) 01:19, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep, don't rename In Geometry this is a very important pattern, and the name used professionally in the Creative Arts is "Flower of Life". Regardless of the origin of said term, it IS the name of the pattern. If the article really has some unwanted "fringe" content that is not related to geometry, you should delete that or put it in a third article, eg. "Flower of Life (Fringe)" or something to that effect. This article is called "Flower of Life (Geometry)" and as such it should be about this key pattern from Geometry. The other stuff could be put on a page of its own, or in "See Also". The geometry part is perfectly valid and the name of the article is the name actually used in real life situations, ie. professional jargon. This is a pattern so basic and so important that it forms the very basic building block, or skeleton pattern, for multiple other patterns that can be derived from it, see e.g. the page on Girih, especially the image example in the section "Construction". IMHO you will be able to ask any professional working in the Creative Arts anywhere on the globe the question "What is the F.o.L?", and the answer will be this specific geometrical pattern... Some "fringe" person disliked by some Wikipedia editors apparently has coined the term... this is new to me, but even if true we should not dismiss the message out of dislike for the messenger. The subject is fundamentally valid, and important. The name is valid too, as the other names suggested in "rename" posts above will make it impossible for professionals working in Geometry to actually find the pattern article, as you will have invented a name completely without usage. clsc (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia needs is some books that are not self-published from the Creative arts fields you describe that demonstate the usage of the name. But Flower of Life or such names can redirect to a section, like overlapping circles grid#Modern_usage within the moved article. Tom Ruen (talk) 18:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sources (albeit not books) which are not self-published exist and are listed in my "Keep" statement below. -- Karl432 (talk) 11:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There are sources not connected to the origin of the term, e.g. this (a British newspaper) or this (amazon.com, department "Arts, crafts and sewing"). Especially, the latter source proves the use of the term in commerce. -- Karl432 (talk) 11:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please hold your horses, gentlemen. As for "unsourced New Age terminology", "Synthesis of sources", or "original research" I can't find any of that in the contents of the article we are discussing here. I have personally made recent edits to the article, as have others. Please consider the current article in stead of past versions - not that it's perfect, but it's probably no longer what you think it is. If you have posted above, you might want to give the article (and, perhaps the Talk page too) a fresh look, and re-evaluate. Thanks. clsc (talk) 02:05, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since this now appears to be a SNOW KEEP, you are perhaps urging us all to hold the beasts which are already peacefully eating hay in their stable. Seems a suitably Christmasy note on which to CLOSE THIS AFD. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:14, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's precisely what this article needed, to be refocused to a neutral presentation of the pattern, its historical appearances and the mathematics behind it, with a tiny section mentioning the New Age philosophy. Well done. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And note that I, the nominator, stated above that I think that the change in focus has meant it should be kept (with a rename, ideally). The article has changed a lot, and is now clearly appropriate. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:46, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think that the page is now basically sound, but as I've learned more about the subject I have also found that the page title "Flower of Life" is misleading, so a rename is (still) appropriate, imho. clsc (talk) 20:13, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to overlapping circles grid, overwriting the redirect but leaving a redirect here for readers who come looking for information about it under that name, per my comment above and significant improvement to the article while this AfD was running. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to overlapping circles grid, as the page is about that topic, so of course it should bear that name. The "Flower of Life" term; if appropriate, and if noteworthy, could be mentioned in a specific (small) subsection, perhaps with an illustration. F.o.L is a distinct sub-class of the page topic, so of course it should be a subsection title, not the page title. Use F.o.L term only as referring to that specific subclass of the general pattern. Keep disambig page for readers who only know that name - redirect to renamed "overlapping circles grid" page or to F.o.L subsection if extant. clsc (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that is a good setting-out of the current consensus. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:48, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. and name as suggested; the present title is not adequately descriptive,and , as the nom said , is much too new-Agey for a mathematical object. DGG ( talk ) 05:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I was persuaded by User:Johnbod's argument "It's a thing, in the end." What makes this a really interesting topic is that it clearly is a topic capable of meeting GNG. Yet, despite a variety of AfDs and edits to the article, it is a topic difficult to capture in writing within Wikipedia's requirements. I found a variety of references to the topic, but many seem to need to use quotation marks to refer to it as "Flower of Life," The idea of overlapping circles has been around a long time, so it is intriguing that the English language appears to have not committed to giving the topic a name (due to a perceived need to use quotation marks in "Flower of Life," instead of just flower of life. After a cursory search, the Wikipedia article seems to reflect society's non-unified view of the topic so that the Wikipedia article appears as a disjointed effort to present a cohesive article on the topic. That is not a basis for deletion. In fact, it is a strong reason to keep in hopes that Wikipedian's can assist in cohesively summarizing the body of knowledge on this topic for the benefit of society. There are no reliable sources to support naming the topic "overlapping circles grid", so please do not rename as part of this AfD. -- Jreferee (talk) 15:11, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the resistance to the article is that it presents the topic as hard math (geometry) and then ties in theology, philosophy, and/or mythology. The source material I found is not about hard math. Instead, the topic Flower of Life is in discussed in reference to theology, philosophy, and/or mythology. Instead of the article focusing on the math aspects, the article should reflect the source material. I think if the title (e.g. "(geometry)") and the lead lessened the topic's association with hard math, there would be less resistance to the article. So long as the article leads with math and then ties in spirituality, editors will continue to list this article at AfD. -- Jreferee (talk) 17:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This appears to have screened earlier this month at a film festival and is supposed to have an official release next year, but I can't see where there's actually any coverage out there. Screening can make it more likely that there will be coverage, but it's not a guarantee and short films are usually passed over as far as coverage goes. It's not unheard of for short films to gain coverage - Rodrigo Gudiño's The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow is proof of that - but it's still relatively rare. I have no problem with this being created in the future if coverage does become available, but I would recommend that it go through AfC if the person creating the article has a COI.

Strong Keep It is entirely notable and easily passes WP:GNG. It is a highly specialized piece of software, which is still well used and well respected in the industry. The article has not been updated for some time, but it is still used and gives a good description of what it is, links code generation and object-relational mapping, and describes well a complex and very expensive piece of software, at the forefront of the industry.

Keep under the policy of Ignore All Rules.

Absolutely being a political party leader is sufficient notability to support a properly sourced article — but for a minor or fringe party especially, it can't be (and isn't) an automatic inclusion freebie that constitutes an exemption from our actual sourcing requirements, or allows the person to keep an article that relies exclusively on primary sources and passing namechecks in election results tables.

Bert Cocu[edit]

Non-notable rower. Quick google search for him only finds social media accounts and a staff list at the Melbourne University Boat Club, and this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thereppy (talk • contribs) 22:08, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bert Cocu has won a prize from the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation in 2004, following that year's results at the Summer Olympics [40], but that was the only fact I could find that would perhaps support notability. – Editør (talk) 11:40, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nosaina Pokana[edit]

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

This cricketer hasn't played First Class / List A / Twenty20 format. Hence not notable. Fenopy (talk) 19:39, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reason stated above:

Fenopy (talk) 20:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Varies - Rao, Gauci and Pattison are a clear delete as I don't find anything other than stats/profile listing sites so there's no independent coverage to justify them meeting the GNG. Coverage for Pokana and Kapoor is limited - the one article that's cited on the article pages is about it. On balance I don't think that's the multiple sources required to meet the GNG.

Healy has a tonne of coverage - for example here, here. [ http://www.thatscricket.com/news/2014/08/25/ian-healy-s-son-tom-australia-under-19-squad-072417.html here (to an extent)], here, here and here at least. A lot of that is down to his father of course, but the coverage is focussing on him and there are decent, independent sources in there - miles better than cricket stats sites. I'd say a case could be made for keep for him.

I'd also say the same case could be made to keep Page as well - sources here, here and here for example. There don't seem as many sources as for Healy and if he fails to develop then we may want to revisit the article in a few years and question his notability per se, but there's a case that at present he meets the GNG due to there being a number of direct, reliable and independent sources which consider him as their major focus.

Which suggests that each case should be judged on merit and not just because they've not played a ~~first class~~ oops "major", cricket match, Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tendulkar's son who is covered in multiple sources had his article deleted here last year... Fenopy (talk) 21:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - see WP:AON Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. All fail the WP:CRIN notability guideline as they have not played at first-class, List A or Twenty20 level. The Aussie players can always be recreated as and when they make appearances at a senior level, whereas the two Canadians most likely won't be playing at a senior level anytime soon, given Canada's rapid descent down the international ladder. PinchHittingLeggy (talk) 11:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Healy, at least, very, very clearly meets the GNG. It's not even close. To rely on a quantitative criteria when there is extraordinarily clear qualitative evidence that someone is notable as a human being is ridiculous. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all bar Healy and Merge/Redirect him to Ian Healy#Family per The-Pope. This is the most sensible solution. It is argued that Healy meets GNG and, given multiple sources I would agree that he does if you take a Boolean line on the matter, but his press coverage is attributable to the fame of his father and so, in his case, I believe NCRIC to be the more objective arbiter. The-Pope is spot on. Jack | ^{talk page} 09:56, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think I"m convinced of that argument now - thank you both. It's Page who's now giving me more thought - the coverage there is significantly independent. I might take a go at that article later. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notability. The article is well-referenced (which is why I didn't simply slap a speedy on it) but all the references are either simple listing about films produced of focus on John McPhail. TheLongTone (talk) 14:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that the fact he was nominated by both BAFTA and the Royal Television Society (Both major art instituitions in the UK) alongside his work with McPhail far exceeds the requirements for notability. ChrisGFA (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am satisfied that the person is of suitable notability in the arts industry. DrColePorter (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Bafta award winner, merely a contributor to a nominated film. The only award for work he is concerned with is one from the Sydney Indid film festival.

The pageant part of the article is sourced to a obviously self submitted 4 short paragraphs (1 of which is about the organization, not her) in the 'News from You' section of the Ahwatukee Foothills News (twice a week circulation of 28,000) sharing a page with 4th grade spellers, girls scouts visiting the local fire hall, how the "Ahwatukee Rotary Club to participate in international trip to fight polio", (like every club on the planet), a local girl graduated from University, someone made the Dean's List at University, and some boy made Eagle Scout. Since nothing else of the page would warrant a Wikipedia article, nether should this high school kid. This makes the WP:GNG claims a mockery of the AfD process.

Delete, because nothing here constitutes a notability claim that would grant an automatic pass under any of Wikipedia's inclusion standards — being a district councillor can satisfy WP:NPOL #3 if the article is well-sourced, but it's not a role that can confer an automatic inclusion freebie on every district councillor who exists at all if the sourcing isn't there. Of the sources here, however, two are deadlinked blogs that were never valid reliable sources in the first place, one is a still-live blog that still isn't a reliable source because it's still a blog, one is a deadlinked primary source, and one is his book's sales page on Amazon.com. There's only one reference here (#4) that counts for anything in the WP:GNG sweepstakes — but even that reference is just a blurb in a community newspaper, so it's neither substantive enough nor widely distributed enough to carry notability as an article's only source.

Isidore George Beaver[edit]

I'm finding barely any substantial sources at all for him. The only one I did (https://www.unimelb.edu.au/culturalcollections/research/collections5/groves.pdf) find states that his partner did all the innovative work, not Beaver. I'm not seeing any evidence that he is credited with any notable buildings. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He is of interest for his association with H. E. Fuller and Edmund Wright (who is truly notable in Adelaide) and for his vice-presidency of the South Australian Architects Association. Doug butler (talk) 06:29, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug butler:Notability is not inherited and he isn't notable merely because he worked with important people. Probably the best way to ensure keeping this article would be to identify some notable buildings that he designed. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 16:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is fascinating how much harder it is to provide evidence of notability (16 references in the article at present, there were already eight when it was nominated!) for professionals on Wikipedia than sportspeople who are inherently "notable" because they once played a game in a national competition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottDavis (talk • contribs) 12:06, 12 December 2015

@ScottDavis:If you think an article about an athlete should be deleted, feel free to nominate it. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 16:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the sources are garbage. A one-line mention of routine news coverage from within his own lifetime is not evidence of notability, it's just what newspapers do. I'm going thru the sources and yet to find a single one that provides any in-depth coverage whatsoever of Beaver. I suggest any admin reviewing this discussion to actually review these sources before giving them any credit. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable architect of his period; a number of his buildings have heritage significance, and while it is now demolished, he also designed the nationally significant St Moritz Ice Rink in St Kilda. Oiyarbepsy misses ScottDavis' point entirely; Beaver is abundantly more notable than thousands of sportspeople who are inherently notable under our sports guidelines, but clueless people go to town on significant people in areas they don't understand. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- You keep saying that word, but I see zero evidence that he is notable. Find an in-depth sources that is mostly about Beaver and I might change my mind, but the sources that people have added are evidence that he is not notable. You don't need to add these kinds of sources to write an article about a notable person. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:53, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Designing a nationally significant building (St Moritz deserves an article of its own long ago, surprised it hasn't got one already actually), the houses of notable people, and central public buildings in capital cities more than surpasses playing one sports game in terms of notability. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:02, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Prove it with sources, prove it with sources, prove it with sources. How many times do I need to say that? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - It took me five seconds in Google to establish that Beaver designed St Moritz, and the rest were already in the article. The case for notability is abundantly clear, it could always use more detail and sourcing, but I am disinclined to expand articles on the whim of someone who has no interest in the notability of the subject and is just disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Merely verifying a fact is a far cry from notability. I'm not looking for a source that verifies a fact, you've provided that in spades. I'm looking for a source that proves that someone considered this person important enough to right a book or a lengthy article completely about him. You can pick any architect that ever work from 1850 to today and find one-line mentions in period newspapers that confirm facts, but that does not in any way demonstrate notability. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - St Moritz isn't mentioned in the article because the article is far from complete, but it was an obvious declaration of importance to anyone who knows anything about Australian buildings, and one I found on Google in five seconds. And if I was dealing with someone who was actually interested in the notability of the article, rather than continually trying to delete material sourced to indisputably reliable sources to make a point, I might be so inclined to dedicate my time to adding it; alas, this is not the case. You have an interpretation of WP:GNG that is just flatly wrong and wildly out of line with actual consensus at AFD (we have millions of articles on people without books about them, and plenty without lengthy articles completely about them), and a perusal of your edit history shows that it's far from the first time you've tried to delete valid material based on wild misapplication of policy. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:21, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Well, if your sources provides some detail about how it was designed and constructed, it certainly would establish notability for the building (which the building obviously has anyway). A similar sources with some similar detail about another building would establish it for Beaver. I'm particularly curious why the building opened five years after he died (not denying your facts, just curious), and the source has to at least address that. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A good discussion. The great thing about Wikipedia is that you can (often) find out about |importance=low| places like Wedge Island, painters like Ruth Tuck, schools like Whinham College, doctors like Mary Page Stone that you bump into in general reading but aren't in adb. Beaver wasn't Frank Lloyd Wright, but he wasn't Joe Bloggs either, and he was chosen as a partner by quite famous (in SA at least) architects who are already well treated by adb. Meanwhile, can someone help me link the .pdf that I found with Google about the (heritage listed) Toorak Bowling Club pavilion (which literally calls Beaver notable) ? Also is it OK if I move the article to Isidor George Beaver? I'm embarrassed at getting sucked into that. Doug butler (talk) 19:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks for the St. Moritz thing - I'd missed that. Hardly surprising that implementation of Beaver's design took some time. This was, after all, the time of the Great Depression. Beaver had been getting fewer jobs (notice the paucity of calls for contractors), and may even have done the work pro bono (he was after all an enthusiastic skater, had shares in the Glaciarium and may have even been sponsor of an ice hockey team).Doug butler (talk) 19:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was half joking, but it turned out to be true. A beautifully written, concise article on Beaver may be found here [54]. Doug butler (talk) 03:11, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Low-importance but nevertheless notable subject. The age of the subject makes it difficult to find online references of significant coverage, but there are a handful provided which do establish a GNG pass. Huge numbers of less-than-significant newspaper mentions, in the context of being the architect on a notable building. The comparison with sportspeople is apt, as even quite minor players who have played a single professional game are considered automatically notable. If there were such a thing as WP:ARCHITECT, it would probably say something like "An architect is presumed notable if they have headed the design of at least one notable building". There are at least two such buildings - Goode House and the St Moritz Rink.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:12, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- As the link attributes the building to the firm Wright Reed & Beaver, that would make the firm notable, not Beaver. --ELEKHH^T 03:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Previous version of the article was deleted due to lack of notability. This one has the same problem. There are plenty of references but none of them are reliable sources with significant coverage. In the revision I tagged, the first reference is the tool's developer. References 2, 3, 7, and 8 are unpublished student papers or white papers. References 4, 5, 9, and 10 give only passing mention to the subject in a list of tools or purchases. Reference 6 does not mention the subject at all. Psychonaut (talk) 22:15, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete None of the references are about the software - they are all general discussions of the issue the software addresses. In looking for reviews (which could support notability), I found it on CNET, but as #35 in programming software. That basically shows that it's not notable.

- My review of this revision: I don't like references 3, 5, and 6 (project reports/presentations, seemingly not formally published and sometimes saying almost nothing about Understand). Reference 4 is a bit skimpy (only a couple paragraphs on the subject) but apparently reliable. References 2, and especially 1, are much more thorough in their coverage. Whether Softpedia is a reliable source for editorial reviews is debated (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 52#Softpedia Linux software reviews) but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. (Never heard of Flurry and couldn't find any discussions at WP:RSN.) So in light of the new sources I will !vote a weak keep against my own nomination.

Position 126 on a national chart is not particularly remarkable, and my searches on Google, NewsBank, and HighBeam fail to turn up in-depth reviews about the song itself (i.e. outside of the context of the Volume 8 album).

Iaal[edit]

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

The disambiguation page only names two 'relevant' articles; however, the only truly relevant article is Iaal, Lebanon, while the other, Internet slang, never even mentions the word Iaal in the article. Therefore, this disambiguation page should be deleted as irrelevant. Lebabven (talk) 00:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment searching the term into the search box actually does pull one other term, a redirect to IANAL (which is apparently an internet term for "I am not a lawyer"). IAAL is mentioned in that article as the opposite of the phrase, i.e. "I am a lawyer". Not sure what effect this has on deletion, but the link to "internet slang" seems to be a mistake. Johanna^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 03:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and delete the entry for Internet slang. I've added entry IAAL. This probably would have been better served with deleting the wrong entry and redirecting to Iaal, Lebanon and then that uncontroversially moved to Iaal. I'm glad it wasn't in this case because it has been made into a valid page. However, if anyone thinks Iaal, Lebanon is the promary topic, then a move might still be a good idea. Boleyn (talk) 09:12, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as valid dab page; have redirected IAAL there, as there was nowhere helpful to leave a "redirect" template on the IANAL page and otherwise people typing in caps wouldn't find the Lebanon location. PamD 11:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We have one entry for "Iaal" and one entry for "IAAL." Because of this, we can invoke WP:SMALLDETAILS to disambiguate the two topics. Therefore, I recommend Iaal, Lebanon be renamed Iaal to satisfy WP:NCPLACE and IAAL should be redirected to IANAL and tagged as ((R from antonym)).

Prison consultant[edit]

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

I'm listing this on behalf of 209.211.131.181 (talk · contribs) who has made the following nomination. Although I don't view problem users as a reason to delete an article, I happen to agree that the topic is of unclear notability, most of the content being in the form of 'formerly imprisoned commentators'. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 08:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This form of consulting definitely exists; however, it's of unclear notability, since most of the real coverage is related to one person, Bernard Madoff, hiring a prison consultant - a fact which can be covered adequately in Madoff's article. The other sources in the article, from reliable sources, are slim "subject exists" articles at best.

While the preceding might not be a reason for deletion on its own, this article has a history of much larger problems. I have removed a lengthy "Practitioners" section from the article, but the article history is fully visible, and I advise anyone considering keeping this article to review it. The section contained, variously, a policy-violating directory of named consultants, promotional content, copyright violations, and violations of the Biographies of Living Persons policy - to wit, claims about consultants' prison experience without acceptable sourcing. Often it was all of that in the same content. This content has been repeatedly removed or redacted over a span of years, and repeatedly readded by a stream of single-purpose accounts who are probably undertaking undisclosed editing. The content of that currently-removed section is unacceptable, but history shows that it will be readded yet again in the future, festering until someone else removes it yet again and the cycle continues.

The best option is to get rid of the article that attracts this bad editing. Material about Madoff can be merged to the Madoff article, and any other content able to be rescued could be added to Incarceration in the United States if that is desirable. The article itself should be deleted. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 16:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While I am personally not a fan of soap operas, many folks are. He's appeared in over 350 episodes over a 13 year period of the longest-running soap opera. While I can't ascertain how large a role "Bert" is, the character does have the last name of the main protagonist family around which the show is built. That, with the number of appearances gives the role significance. His recurring role on the long-running series Lili & Marleen, is also significant. He's also the director of Theater aan de Stroom (formerly Raamtheater), see here. And then there is this, this (which is a pretty unique way for theater groups to fund themselves), and this.

This doesn't seem to be sourced to anything. I searched all the sources and external links for the string lead and found only "In addition to being a full-blood member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, she was a women's leader in the United Methodist Church." EEng (talk) 02:57, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Was well-featured in the media and was notable due to other reasons than longevity as well. 930310 (talk) 22:36, 5 December 2015 (UTC) This editor has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]

@930310: Could you link to a few examples of the significant coverage of the subject which you believe establishes the subject's notability for reasons other than longevity? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:42, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She lived to 101 which is not notable. She may have been the oldest person in her community of 12,000 people when she died, but so what? The article calls her a Leader with no substantiation, maybe confusing "Elder" for leader, but Elder just means she was older then the young people. Women's leader in the local church is not a reason for an article. Not seeing anything worth keeping. Legacypac (talk) 02:54, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only 101? Oh for crikey's sake, I didn't even notice that. EEng (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep While age does added to her notability it appears she is covered by reliable sources regarding her presence in the community. I found these sources here [55] and this source [56]. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 15:33, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In one source there's a sentence about her and one about her children, and in the other she's a parenthetical suspension in the middle of a sentence. That's significant coverage? EEng (talk) 16:35, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, gentlemen, neither of the linked references above constitute anything like "significant coverage." Yes, the subject was a Gold Star mother (one of her sons died during World War II; yes, she was recognized by the Methodist church as the Oklahoma Indian Mother of the Year. In both cases, she received approximately one sentence of coverage. That's less than what the local Kiwanis Club gets in the local newspaper when the Kiwanians elect their new officers. These debates really point out all of the flaws inherent in trying to build centenarians (and supercentenarians) into something inherently notable for purposes of stand-alone Wikipedia articles. These are perfectly lovely men and women who, by virtue of good genes and good fortune, have lived to a ripe old age. The overwhelming majority of them have lived perfectly ordinary lives, and there really is no encyclopedic content beyond (maybe) those who temporarily held the Guinness record for oldest living person on the planet, all of which could be handled perfectly well in various list articles (name, birth date, birth place, date of death, place of death) broken down by nationality. The proponents of these articles, including those apparently associated with the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), need to find another outlet for this content because half or more of these articles are getting merged to a list or deleted outright. If the general notability guidelines were strictly applied -- without the overheated advocacy of proponents -- then even more would be merged or deleted. Wikipedia is not a website-hosting service for non-notable topics, but various other user-contributed "wiki" websites and hosting services do exist; perhaps GRG participants should consider starting one of their own to host this content, so that extended bios for every verifiable person who reaches 100 or 110 years of age may be recognized without having to artificially inflate the subjects into something most of them clearly are not: "notable" per WP:GNG. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:02, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The GRG folk have already adopted the approach you recommend. See here. Perhaps the hobbyists who once made common cause with the GRG folk would consider joining them. David in DC (talk) 21:31, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I spent today in a nursing home talking with people, and it reinforced the idea that living a long time does not equal notable. Living a really long time is not an achievement in the normal sense, but more like a punishment for most people. Being really old generally sucks and comes with pain, loss of freedom, family, senses, mobility, mental agility and so much more. Unlike the person who works hard and dreams of getting to the Olympics/top of Business/President/famous actor etc no one in the care home is thinking "if I can just breath longer then Fred I'll be the oldest person in South Dakota or born the former Russian Empire or the oldest person living in the USA to have immigrated from Ireland. I can't wait for Grace and Wilma to die so I can seize the title of oldest woman in wherever and get my Wikipedia article finally."

The people writing WOP articles are basically tracking old people for sport (they call it "research") by creating articles, titles and succession boxes without the consent or knowledge of the generally private people they track and profile. Age is one of many superlatives that people can achieve by living - fat, skinny, short, tall, smart, stupid, married most times, most children, and so on. Take super fat people who also get human interest story type media attention occasionally. Would it be acceptable to write bios, lists and succession boxes for the 100 fattest people born in Germany or Spain with sublists by province, men, and women, plus continental and world superlists? Should we track hundreds of fat people with succession lists for dozens of "fattest titles in place x or area y", tracking their names, exact weights, birth and death dates and locations on Wikipedia? Would anyone suggest we pull together lists of all people over an arbitrary 400 lbs who ever lived or sought to verify their weight?

Then there is the question of "verified". If some random person came to most Wikipedia editors and asked for their birth certificate, passport, marriage license, and other personal ID most thinking people who tell them to go away and maybe call the cops. Is it really alright to seek personal documents from these people, or their often quite old and maybe incapacitated children? While some might want to cooperate, many must not. Then there are all the people who don't get identified as being super old by the WOP trackers. So all these made up titles are extremely suspect given the evident gaps in available data.

As for notability based on the kind of sources trotted out - it is almost impossible to live over 100 years and never get a mention in the news or online somewhere. So a handful of mentions online does not impress me much. Legacypac (talk) 11:38, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Research is the same thing as exercising some sport? Every professional geriatric who does this for their job, will feel personally attacked by that assumption. So please be more carefull with your words next time. Thank you in advance Petervermaelen (talk) 08:09, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You begin with "I spent today in a nursing home talking with people, and it reinforced the idea that living a long time does not equal notability" and end it with "it is almost impossible to live over 100 years and never get a mention in the news or online somewhere"... So, what you're telling me is that people who live an unusually long time get mentioned in the news, which means (guess what) that longevity clearly DOES confer notability. You defeated your own argument. That whole essay is an exercise in original research. You have no idea how the GRG collect documents. Neither the GRG nor GWR claim that their "oldest person" titles are definitive, only the oldest known, verified person. There's no reason to call them suspect. You could call boxing titles made up because Joe down the pub says he could knock them out. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 01:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was procedural close. I'm striking my vote and procedurally closing these.

I don't see where the AfD for the list page would close any other way other than a "keep", so that leaves merging as an option. As for the individual pages, there is merit in the idea that these characters do not have independent notability outside of the series, however the first option here should have been to suggest a merge - an option that the nominator should already have been fully aware of - especially since the talk page for this list article shows that several other characters have been merged into the list page, which suggests that like the prior AfDs, the nominator may not have done their due research while nominating these articles for deletion.

Keep - I was going to suggest redirect to A Series of Unfortunate Events#Characters but this is a pretty huge and popular series (books, movies, videogames etc). The character is thus discussed as expected in pop culture.[57] —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:59, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Just reading the article for A Series of Unfortunate Events clearly indicates the novels are very notable, with positive reception from critics, having noted to have helped children to cope with loss after the September 11 attacks. It's also been compared to Harry Potter, and Harry (the character) has his own Wikipedia article, and I believe therefore this novel character should have her own as well.

It's relatively standard to have a list page for various characters in a series, especially if the series is very well known and has a large cast.

It's not, but list articles are somewhat different beasts. As stated above, it's a fairly normal occurrence for long running notable series to have a list page for the characters, especially if the series is adapted to different formats like film, games, and so on. In this case it makes more sense for Wikipedia to have one list for all of the characters as opposed to trying to list all of this on the main page or whittling it down to only 4-5 characters. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:13, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have a history of making spurious AfD nominations and that you recently did this in September for Matrix related articles. There is serious question as to whether or not the individual characters or the page for the Baudelaire family merit their own pages, however the final answer to this is not outright deletion but rather a merge discussion - which is not the purpose of AfD. Now while I've voted here, I'm actually going to close these and open a merge discussion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:19, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A look at the nominator's past edits shows that they made a similar round of AfD nominations back in September and they were specifically warned on their talk page that AfD is a last resort, only if merging is not an option. Per current conventions, list pages for popular, notable series like ASoUE with multiple characters are allowable and are considered to pass notability guidelines for list pages. I don't see where the AfD for the list page would close any other way other than a "keep", so that leaves merging as an option. As for the individual pages, there is merit in the idea that these characters do not have independent notability outside of the series, however the first option here should have been to suggest a merge - an option that the nominator should already have been fully aware of - especially since the talk page for this list article shows that several other characters have been merged into the list page, which suggests that like the prior AfDs, the nominator may not have done their due research while nominating these articles for deletion. AfD is not a way to WP:CLEANUP articles and merging is a part of cleanup. I'm closing this and opening up a merge discussion at Talk:List_of_supporting_A_Series_of_Unfortunate_Events_characters#Merge_and_retitle. This comment is going to be placed on all of the AfDs, so forgive me for making it a bit general. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:39, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this via a speedy deletion, but there's enough here to pass notability guidelines as far as A7 goes. When it comes to overall notability per WP:NPERFORMER, I'm not as certain about this. He has some mentions here and there of his performances, but not really any that would firmly show that he passed notability guidelines.

If anyone can enough sources to firmly show notability, I'm open to withdrawing this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:09, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Williams (DJ)[edit]

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

I came across this article as an A7 and the claims in the article are just enough for it to squeak by speedy criteria but do not seem to hold up over the larger requirements per WP:NBIO. Williams does work for iHeartRadio and I can see where he's mentioned in some news sources, but I can't really see where he's independently notable outside of the company. I'd redirect, but I don't think that it'd be a viable redirect in this case, since there's no mention of him in the main company article nor is there really a good place to insert him, as we don't list every employee of a company. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:24, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tokyogirl179, thanks for the explanation so that we can maybe address it. We are digging up more articles for Chris Williams. He has been a DJ for over a decade on some very big radio stations. Hopefully some past articles will help with it. I'll see about getting him included on the iHeart page as well. Thanks again! Kazmandu2 (talk) 06:30, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hold up on adding him to the iHeart page. The problem with doing something like that is that Wikipedia is not an employee listing for everyone that has worked for a company - especially if the company is especially large. Usually the only ones who get added are the top-top people, like the CEO, that run the entire company. Williams is in charge of a branch of the company but this doesn't automatically mean that he should be listed on the main article. The general rule of thumb is that after the CEO, the others should only be added if they're notable enough for their own articles. Right now your main concern should be trying to find coverage that focuses specifically on Williams and shows how he's independently notable. Also, I get the strong impression that you have a conflict of interest given the tone of some of your articles like this one. Per COI, you must disclose any conflict of interest you may have. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know him at all, no COI. And, he isn't just an employee of a company, like, a secretary. He was the DJ, the voice of the company, has a large fanbase, etc... I think that the reason for Wikipedia is to record the important people involved with a known organization and he is definitely that. Wouldn't that be notable enough even as just an individual. His position in the company at iHeart is just focusing on his recent job history. Let me know your thoughts. I would like to see his page stand. Kazmandu2 (talk) 08:31, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to continue this on your user talk page. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:25, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, iHeartMusic has many DJs. In order to show notability for him as a performer or in any format, you need to show coverage in independent and reliable sources. Brief mentions where he is making a statement on behalf of the company does not count, which seems to be the majority of hits that I received.

If you are Kazmandu2, then please be aware that this is considered to be block evasion.

James Tracy (professor)[edit]

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

This is an advisory listing. I created this article and I think it ought to exist. However, let's get the question decided now before other people put more work into this, and so we can decide if "James Tracy" ought to be a disambiguation page or not. (In all likelihood people are searching the Wikipedia for info on this guy right now since he's in the news.)

There's two cases against this article existing. One being that he's not notable per WP:BIO. I think there's fairly extensive coverage of him that goes into a bit a depth about who he is (not personally, but professionally) in various notable newspapers etc.

Another case against is WP:BLP1E. But, his (in-proccess) firing is not the only event for which he's notable; for instance he's covered in HuffPost for his views on the Boston Marathon bombing; he's been around awhile and has been covered for awhile, granted at a pretty low level of interest (but not nothing). Of course, when the action against him ends -- either by his being fired or being retained -- there will be another flurry of news about him.

Keep, as nom. Herostratus (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2015 (UTC) Herostratus (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And the thing is, what drove me to write the article, if we don't have an article on this dude, we have a little bit of a problem with the currently existing article James Tracy. For right now, I added ((For|the Sandy Hook truther|James Tracy (professor))) to the top. After all, that James Tracy is quite obscure and James Tracy (rugby union) even more so, so 90%+ of people coming to James Tracy are looking for the professor, certainly at the current time. What are we going to tell them? "For the Sandy Hook truther, see.... er, we don't have that article"? (The article previously had a note "He is not related to the James Tracy of Florida Atlantic University who rose to fame disputing the official story of the Sandy Hook Massacre" as the second sentence of the lede, which is very unsatisfactory IMO.)

Keep as meeting WP:GNG. I thought about creating this myself yesterday, he's been floating around since Sandy Hook and it the subject of another round of attention. If the obscure James Tracy should exist, let's make that page a disamb. page and move him to something like James Tracy (political activist), that will shield him better.

If the article is deleted, this can be undone. Herostratus (talk) 20:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- The controversy over this man's beliefs has just reached the national level. I myself sought information about him here on Wikipedia, hoping that in the footnotes of the article I might find more sources: and that is exactly what happened. Thus this article serves a useful purpose, and is justified. Chillowack (talk) 06:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortuantely, despite my best efforts, and searches using both her real name and her YouTube username, the only sources I could find are from the website Raannt (which appears to be a source used for some articles about YouTube personalities). Searching her real name resulted mostly in false positives about different people with the same name. While I did find an IMDb page, the filmography suggests she doesn't pass WP:ENTERTAINER either.

Enrique Márquez[edit]

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

This DAB currently covers 4 people, only two of which uses the page name. It is holding up a page move for Enrique Marquez (US citizen) who is way more famous then Enrique Macaya Márquez. CSD declined by an Admin with the reason it is a DAB page (I don't understand that reason). Legacypac (talk) 01:52, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You don't want an AFD. You want either a WP:RM, or an RFC on the article talk page. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:05, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you reverted my effort to turn this into a redirect [61] I guess we do need an AfD after all. Delete the DAB, turn into a redirect to the guy charged with terrorism. Legacypac (talk) 03:24, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We can't just delete the dab page, it is being used. We could move it to Enrique Márquez (disambiguation), but since people disagree, you need to discuss the move at the talk page and get a consensus. Or (less optimally, IMHO, but an option) we could make Enrique Marquez (with no á) the page for the guy in California, with a hatnote to the dab page (with the á). Also needing discussion. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:30, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you need to learn about Spanish naming customs; "Márquez" is not the middle name of Enrique Márquez Jaramillo. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:33, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Having lived in Mexico City for a while, I am well aware of Spanish naming customs. In theory people can go by their given and first family name only, but Wikipedia is using their whole name. At RfD we just went through a bunch of these and deleted all that used that form.

I prefer to see the California guy at Enrique Marquez with not accent per say CNN [62] especially since he lives in the US where the accents are usually dropped. Legacypac (talk) 03:50, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We're using their whole name mainly because it offers the most natural and culturally sensitive way to disambiguate two Spanish-named people with the same WP:COMMONNAME. It doesn't weaken either of their claims to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the common form at all, any more than it would if they'd been dabbed as "Enrique Márquez (poet)" and "Enrique Márquez (footballer)". Bearcat (talk) 04:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Two of the four people on this list have stronger claims to PRIMARYTOPIC for this name than the US citizen cum alleged terrorist does, because they've both been far more famous and notable for far longer. So keeping the dab page at the plain title is the correct solution here; for all his current newsiness, the new guy has not trumpcarded the others for the plain title as of yet. Bearcat (talk) 04:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A guy who has been in the news for five minutes and whose own article is up for AfD does not warrant being the primary topic. WWGB (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I suggest an admin snow close this so an RM discussion can be had. I've commented so I can't close, but it seems like a snow close is appropriate, followed by a move discussion at Talk:Enrique Márquez. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:58, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - Debate was closed as a snow keep on the deletion of the dab page and incorrect venue for a requested move. However Legacypac has since correctly noted that WP:AFD does make reference to renaming as an AfD option. The full discusion is here. Interestingly their point is contradicted by WP:CLOSEAFD and WP:GD but supported as a less common outcome at Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Other_Outcomes. Perhaps our policy pages need a copyedit.

There does not appear to be a dispute over the concept of a snow keep on deletion, and an assessment of debate also leans toward a snow keep of the current dab as primary topic. But it remains (potentially) possible that a rename might win support in further discussion. So as the path of least bureaucratic resistance I've reopened the AfD at Legacypac's request, on the basis that they are seeking an article rename and not deletion. Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the to and fro.-- Euryalus (talk) 06:02, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is already a rename discussion happening at Talk:Enrique Marquez (US citizen) for that article, keeping this open to review a possible rename of the dab page (the only reason for which is so the article could be moved here) unnecessarily complicates matters. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:55, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at this name, no one person is the primary topic. Also, since an á is hard to type on some keyboards, I think we should maintain Enrique Marquez as a redirect to this page. And if we're really going to have a rename discussion here, then I assume we won't see a WP:RM opened up immediately after this AFD is closed. For anyone interested, see discussion at Talk:Enrique Marquez (US citizen) for a discussion of where to move that page. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:55, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The most likely outcome on the 3rd listing will be making it a redirect to a section of the article on the San Bernadino shooting.

Comment The person who started this deletion request also seems to not understand Spanish names. For example Enrique Marquez Jaramillo is normally known as just Enrique Marquez. With people in Spanish-speaking countries like Mexico, they generally have two last names (unless their father refused to acknowledge them, I knew someone from Venezuela who was in that situation but I digress) and the first of the two last names is the one they will go by primarily. In many sources they will be listed only by that last name.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article for non-notable physician. The standard is WP:PROF, which goes primarily by citations. The citation frequency in Google Scholar is : 42, 42, 41,29, 23, 20, 13., with only 11 publications having received 11 or more citations. This is altogether below the level of notability for a notable research in medical science. No major positions: associate professor, not professor, committee member not chair, member of societies, not elected fellow or officer, (Fellow of RSSurgeons is a professional title, not an honour, editorial board and peer reviewer, not ed. in chief.

~~Weak~~ Delete -- citations are not there for a US or European doctor, but perhaps an expert on Malaysian medicine could report whether these numbers are significant coverage in Malaysian medicine. But without such evidence, I don't see it as notable by WP:PROF. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

for notability under WP:PROF, it's been the practice here that the standard of notability as an expert is international. For other topics, such as many in sports or poloitics , it's otherwise & we go to some extent country by country.. For yet other, such as literature, where coverage is very poor for certain countries, we apply flexile standards. But science is international. DGG ( talk ) 06:30, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changing Weak Delete to full Delete. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 16:01, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion on whether this article should be deleted, but I would like to nuance the claim "associate professor, not professor" made above. It is true that he holds the title associate professor, but this does not mean that he is not a professor in the American and most common sense of the term. The Malaysian (and Australian, New Zealand etc) title professor is used much more restrictively than in the US. The title associate professor in those countries corresponds to reader in the UK, and is one step above an American associate professor, at roughly the same level as an American full professor. After your PhD, you typically start out at the lecturer level (=US assistant professor), then get promoted to senior lecturer (=US associate professor), then to associate professor (named reader in most Commonwealth countries), and finally perhaps to the professor rank, which is a higher rank than the usual full professor rank in eg the US. So in regard to rank, he should be treated as similar to a normal full professor in the US. Regards, Najwa Yong — Preceding unsigned comment added by Najwa Yong (talk • contribs) 19:35, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the significance is gradually changing in most countries more to the US system. But in any case, since being a full professor is not formally a requirement or sufficient proof in WP:PROF, it's not of key importance. What's equally important is the quality of the university. Though not a formal requirement, I am fairly sure that nobody having a position of full professor in a US or Canadian major research university has failed to pass afd in the last 5 or 6 years , except in cases where there is prejudice against a certain field--interestingly, often the traditionally female-majority fields of Education, nutrition, etc. , or where there is prejudice due to the person holding an unconventional opinion. Najwa Yong (talk · contribs), it is unfortunately possible that people with equivalent positions in other systems may not have passed afd due to our lack of understanding, even in first-rate research universities. But in any even the research record here doesn't meet WP:PROF, and that's the actually determining factor. DGG ( talk ) 02:40, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, I have no opinion on whether this article should be deleted, or whether being a full professor in the US sense is enough. But Commonwealth countries such as Malaysia (as well as Australia and New Zealand) consistently use an entirely different rank system than the US, where associate professor is the title of a rank one step higher than its US namesake. Also, if the institution is of importance, I'd like to add that the National University of Malaysia, where Christopher Ho Chee Kong works, is one of Malaysia's five main research universities and ranks comparatively high in international rankings.
