Comment Your reason is invalid here. Player page is also considered as the biographical article about living person. That's why Wiki allows player's profile who plays in the top league (of their respective country).Suman420 (talk) 09:36, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is what GNG tells: "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." As far as significant coverage in reliable sources are concerned, this article passes GNG. Suman420 (talk) 10:04, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know what significant coverage means... this needs a lot more coverage in independent pages than just the 2-3 articles it is in. Google search this and the majority of it is from facebook and twitter! It is just not notable. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 10:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assassin (2015 film)[edit]

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

I prodded this a couple of weeks ago with the following rationale: "While difficult to research because of the commonality of the name, could find nothing on any of the search engines which shows this film passes WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. There is a film by this name which came out in 2015, but it is not this film."

The prod was removed with the following rationale: "I have no relationship with this film other than having seen it. But a film made by a filmmaker who has made other films and if there are actors in the film that have been in other films -- to me, that makes this notable. It's very dissimilar to a case of, let's say, me making a home video with a few friends of mine and saying that even though it went straight to DVD and didn't hit the theaters, that it's notable. I mean, the fact that one can find references to the film online (which are included in the article) demonstrates to me that this has met the notability requirements of Wikipedia."

Regardless of the deprodding rationale - film still does not pass notability criteria. Direct to video, nothing I could find on search engines to show this particular film is notable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:02, 4 December 2015 (UTC) Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:02, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Save - film easily and objectively passes notability criteria, and the film can be substantiated as notable with a simple Google search. Proposed deletion is merely a poor attempt at solving the issue of a poorly constructed article by those who'd rather complain about the article's deficiencies instead of being bold and making it better.

- Comment - Not sure why you had to make it personal. You created the article over 5 months ago, with no visible signs of improvement during that time. The citations which you have recently added are tangential mentions about the film, or from non-WP:RS (the two "reviews" are from a podcast and a website which accepts submissions with virtually no editorial oversight). I have no problem with withdrawing the nomination if you can provide enough in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources. But I'm pretty sure that's going to be difficult to do about a direct to video film by a non-notable director. And I certainly have no issue with being bold and improving an article, as long as the article appears noteworthy, which this one doesn't come close to. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:36, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Response to Comment - And I'm not sure what this is all about. Articles have to be about subjects that are notable in their fields. This film was produced by two individuals who have done other work, stars actors who have done other work, etc. In the chronicles of Danny Dyer's life, this is a notable stepping stone, as it is in the life of the two directors, both of whom are notable. The fact that it was a terrible movie, or at least one that was derided by critics, doesn't really speak to the notability here. Again, it's not like I made a movie and am saying that it is notable even though it didn't make it to the theaters. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 02:44, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well... part of the issue though is that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by notable people that have worked in/with the movie. Sometimes if a person is particularly noteworthy their whole body of work can be considered noteworthy but that person has to be an extremely influential person like Edgar Allan Poe or Steven Spielberg. Even then it can be difficult to really assert that they've reached that level of notability. I don't really see where any of the people involved in the film have reached that level of notability, which is nearly impossible for any person (past or present) to achieve. Heck, I've seen people argue against the creation of an untitled Stephen King book and the article was successfully deleted. That's how hard it is to argue for inherited notability. Even Stephen King has trouble asserting inherited notability. Now that said, I am finding some things here and there, namely this review from Flickering Myth, which has been mentioned at AMC and used as a reference in this academic text. However I do have to say that arguing for notability via inherited notability just won't work in this case. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:55, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nerdly is also something that'd probably be considered a RS and it's one that I'd consider usable for the most part. It's not the strongest source, but its founder (Phil Wheat) has been listed as a RS in the past via his writings for Blogomatic3000. Nerdly has also been mentioned on Dread Central and Screen Daily. Now I will say that this review was a repost of something that was published on a personal blog, but by large Nerdly seems to have good editorial oversight. This one is sort of a toss up, which is why I rarely use it nowadays, but I'll run it through RS/N. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:02, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The coverage out there is insanely light, but I did find enough to pass guidelines. We have two reviews and some coverage that covers the film's announcement. It's not the best coverage and I will say in the defense of the nominator, not all of the sources that come up in a search are immediately identifiable as good RS, since places like Flickering Myth can be easily seen as a SPS. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:24, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Hi Tokyogirl79 - But the two reviews are both from non-RS sources (a blog and a website with no editorial oversight). As per WP:NFSOURCES, "If sources publish materials only online, then their publication process and/or the authority of the author should be scrutinized carefully." So I don't think it passes #1 of NFILM: "The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics." Thoughts? Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:13, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:NEWSBLOG, WP:USEBYOTHERS and WP:OEN. News-source blogs are acceptable, and while reviews by (subjective) "nationally known critics" are nice to have, they are not a guideline mandate. Under WP:NF we begin with WP:GNG, and if that is met we do not then look to non-mandated "attributes to consider". Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 21:07, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The general rule of thumb is that we can use any critic that is listed on RT's critic tomatometer. As for Flickering Myth, we can use stuff like that if they have editorial oversight and can be seen as a RS, which I think can be shown by it being listed as a RS in an academic text.

Keep. The cast easily makes it notable enough. We invariably keep films with casts as notable as this one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't really agree with the idea that the cast makes it notable, but I added two more reviews. Also, according to this article, it got some publicity from offline sources. There was also a sort-of review at Radio Times that looks like it may either have been a botched upload or maybe they just didn't think it worth completing. You never really know with a direct-to-video Danny Dyer film. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:05, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per notability being established and the topic shown as meeting WP:NF. Being impatient with speed of improvement is not a deletion rationale, and while WP:BEFORE is encouraged, perhaps we should have training seminars in its application.

Delete. I concur with the above. Search results turn up nothing but social media, and I find it highly unlikely that this term is used in print media. It's way too soon for this neologism to have an article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the above as well; nothing more than a neologism online. Is seemingly coined by one person who seems to be attempting to sell the term. No references whatsoever. Almost no results in social media, none in print media. An attempt to derive from the Latin expression de novo which does not mean frequent change or anything dependent on mood etymologically. Also, the flag is a crudely drawn symbol created by one individual on a tumblr page. No official sign, website, or organization. Seems to be fair for deletion. It seems to be an attempt to convey an abstract idea with no substantiated source, nothing more. ^[1] Magic1551 (talk) 01:59, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable businessman (still) failing WP:GNG (significant, reliable, and independent sources). This article was previously deleted in November 2014, in a purge of five highly-templated, promotional articles of businessmen related to the Summit Series. Was then immediately recreated by a single-edit WP:SPA of Special:Contributions/Antontha_gonzales. Defer to closing admin if WP:SALT is appropriate due to ongoing WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:BASIC, WP:PROMO, and WP:NOTHERE issues surrounding the creation and recreation of these articles. The article's existing trivial and promotional mentions around the Summit Series and businesses, do not bestow notability to Bisnow, as was expressly noted by the prior closing admin.

Delete. I was on the fence on this one: as the nomination says, the artist appears to be on the cusp of notability even if they have not quite made it. However, something doesn't seem quite right - when you look at the indications of notability there are problems: the MTV one is run by Viacom and contains "content from artists, fans, and writers from around the internet" rather than reliable content - and, it seems, most of the other refs are to Viacom sites too. The most troubling is the claim that "He was listed as a rising star on Stokd Unltd.'s website", which struck me as interesting given that the article author is User:Stokd. Here is the article I presume is being referenced: [1], and here is another article on the site written by Kory Bard himself: [2].

Ross Williams (businessman)[edit]

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

While the businesses this person apparently founded appear to be possibly notable, I do not believe this person meets the notability criteria. The sources are highly suspect, being mostly his own website, linkedin profiles, websites of people associated with him and so forth. When other sources are cited they often do not mention the subject or are just his name being given awards of questionable notability themselves. Often they don't mention Williams at all, such as those in the Ross Williams today section. JCP541 (talk) 20:08, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A few statements above from Clarityfiend and SwisterTwister made me look in and do some work. And while a redirect somewhere could be suitable, this writer, director, artist directed three projects thought notable enough for Wikipedia... the movie The Wild Puffalumps in 1988, the film Babar: The Movie in 1989 and 65 episodes of the Beetlejuice television series in 1995.

Neurotransmitter-stress syndrome[edit]

not in pub med Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:08, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A neurotransmitter is substance like dopamine or acetylcholine that helps trigger a neuron to fire. The idea that schizophrenia is related to "neurotransmitter stress" seems wrongheaded to me ---- I was taught that schizophrenia is an umbrella term for a family of conditions some of which are causally unrelated to others ---- so I checked the references in the article. The first one's a 404. The second one's a print source I don't have. The third one rests on a paper called "Dincin 1990". I presume this is Jerry Dincin (wow --- that's a redlink?), a man who's nowadays famous for being a right-to-die advocate but back when I was in university he was a prominent figure in the treatment of the severely mentally ill. What we need is to find his 1990 paper. (And write his biography. He's undoubtedly notable.)—S Marshall T/C 20:11, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Psychosocial Rehabilitation Journal 14.2 (1990): 83. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/prj/14/2/83/ That journal, like many Psychology journals, is not listed in PubMed.

List of actors who won the Academy, BAFTA, Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG Award for a single performance in film[edit]

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

This is a meta-list article synthesizing other lists, but there's no indication that these lists (film awards for acting) should be combined at all. Unlike, say, EGOT, this meta-list has been given no basis off wikipedia. In fact, the reason it wasn't deleted last time (besides no consensus) was that a source gave it such a basis — but it didn't. This article is asserting that the five most prestigious acting awards are the Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG, and Critics' Choice Awards. The source does not support this assertion. It does mentions seven awards— Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, Guild Awards, the National Board of Review award, Independent Spirit and assorted "Critics Awards". Guild Awards when applied to acting obviously means the SAG, and you can reasonably take out independent spirit by clarifying it's non-independent film. But conveniently ignoring the NBR is unjustified, in fact the source gives far more weight to the NBR than it does to the Critics Choice.

It mentioned the latter as one of several critics' awards— "The key groups in the US include the National Society of Film Critics, made up of 55 writers across the country, the LA Film Critics Association and the New York Film Critics Circle. The London Film Critics' Circle, comprising more than 80 members, issues awards recognizing British and international film talent. In recent years, the Broadcast Film Critics Association has aspired to usurp the status of the Golden Globes, with a televised ceremony of the unashamedly populist Critics' Choice Awards." If you interpret this text literally then the key groups in the US include NSFC, LAFC, and NYFCC. Then it mentions London as a key Critics' group out of the US. But it reserves a different clause for the Critics' Choice—separating it from other critics awards by noting its "unashamed populism" (critics awards are noted for not being populist and for being impartial to commercialism unlike academy-style awards) and saying it wants to usurp the golden globes. A more lenient interpretation is that all the groups are key Critics' groups— but therefore by the source there's no reason to just include the Critics' Choice and not all the groups it mentioned.

Now I didn't want to delete this article, so I changed it to conform to the source it used— I included the NBR and all the Critics' Awards it mentioned, and noted that those six awards were the more prestigious awards for contemporary English non-independent cinema, so as to not generalize unfairly. This change (and here's the most recent version of the page in the same vein by @Heisenberg0893:) was admittedly awkward but at least it was based on substance.

My edits got reverted. The reasons for reverting my edit was basically that, if I may quote comments on the talk page, it "overcomplicated [the page] and made [the page] too exclusive" and that "NBR isn't a significant award". That's all good and well, but we can't have a preconceived list of performances in our minds, pick criteria around our mind-list, and then say lists that happen to omit performances on our mind-list are "too exclusive". I understand the article's purpose- to note the most acclaimed performances in contemporary cinema with objective criteria, but the criteria isn't objective if it's selected subjectively. This feels like a cruft list, not to mention SYNTH. Time to ping those involved in the original deletion discussion. @Feedback: @Jaxsonjo: @SummerPhD: @Postdlf: @Edison:. I'll put in a request for comment on this on related wikiprojects as @Lapadite77: recommended. --Monochrome_Monitor 08:56, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As the nominator demonstrates, the grouping (and in particular, the selection of the Critics' Choice award over all other critics' awards) is subjective and arbitrary. Here's a source that lists the "three most prestigious critics groups" in this context and doesn't mention the Critics' Choice award at all.
I did in fact find some sources that mention specific actors/actresses as having won these five specific awards – quite possibly inspired by the existence of this article; namely this source and this source. But I'm not very convinced by these sources, and any treatment of these actors as a group is minimal. (By contrast, this source clearly treats actors who have won an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for the same performance as a group.)
List of directors who won the Academy, BAFTA, DGA, Golden Globe, and Critic's Choice Award for a single film, the twin of this article, should also be deleted. Sideways713 (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a "cousin" of this page about television List of actors who won the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, SAG, and TCA Award for a single performance in television. Anyway I also thought that New York Film Critics Circle and LA and National Society were more prestigious critics' awards, as your source says. --Monochrome_Monitor 23:22, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I get what this article is trying to do, but it would better just to have an article "list of film performances considered the best", which unlike this article would apply to each mention contemporaneously without being biased by selecting contemporary film awards.--Monochrome_Monitor 23:27, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's another thing I'm concerned about, I don't want wikipedia to create "facts on the ground". None of your sources mentioning those awards grouped together precede the article. --Monochrome_Monitor 23:31, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - definitely passes muster as a genre of store. Wikipedia has a long tradition of [even if just stubs, but] filling out complete catalogs of things like "furniture", "meals", and "clothing".

Thousands and thousands of shoe stores versus a relative handful of vape shops. It's also not specific enough. I wouldn't mind seeing an article of vape bars, even though there's even less of those, because it's far more specific.

Keep This is a thing. It is also a term that is called out in legislation within laws. It is used in the news. It is something that people see. It is something that people who use the internet may want to inquire upon. A quick not controversial encyclopedic entry is a benefit, without POV. I see above that requester is concerned that it has not been updated since Oct 21. Many entries and changes does not determine the value of an Article.

Speedy Keep

With a count of 8 to 4 editors to keep, I would suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Speedy_keep, I see no way there is going to be consensus to delete this page, given the well reasoned KEEPS from 8 editors. If a drawn out process goes on, I don't see the outcome of KEEP is going to change because of the processes and guides. Mystery Wolff (talk) 20:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are not counting my delete and S Marshall's comment that looks like a delete. 6 to 8 isnt speedy criteria. AlbinoFerret 20:31, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly advocating deletion. I'm advocating changing the article title to economics of electronic cigarettes (which is what the better sources in this article are really about anyway). We'd move content about the business of electronic cigarette sales here. So it would expand in scope to include electronic cigarette manufacturers, wholesalers, marketing and product range as well as the retail outlets. Because of the way a page move works on Wikipedia, this is not a deletion. Vape shop would not be a redlink, the existing content would be ported over, and the history would not be deleted, so at a technical level what I'm advocating counts as a "keep" outcome, even though I don't believe that it's a particularly good idea to have an article specifically about vape shops on Wikipedia.—S Marshall T/C 23:57, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable model. 2 trivial mentions on News, nothing on Newspapers. Some hits on Books, but again, mere mentions, shockingly nothing on Scholar, and zip on Highbeam. Her titles and runner-ups don't meet notability criteria. If kept, article would also need a large re-write for POV issues, non-encyclopedic tone, and lacking in-line citations.

Comment - I was going to move it back to draft, where it had been declined twice in AfC, but after researching it, couldn't really find anything to show they are notable. I have nothing against moving it back there, however, but if there aren't better sources out there which I couldn't find, that may be simply wasting time.

Delete. As mentioned, no significant coverage in Google Newspaper Archive, Google News (other than a one-paragraph blurb that doesn't pass the triviality threshold), Google Books, JSTOR, or Highbeam. Searching via the tools in WP:INDAFD doesn't reveal anything substantial. Interviews with the subject exist, but they are primary sources. There is a small amount of coverage here, but I feel it is not significant enough to meet WP:GNG. /wia /tlk 16:06, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The cited sources do not meet WP:BASIC, and the only additional probably-reliable source I could find was the Fashion Weekly interview (already mentioned by Wikiisawesome). It's a primary source and not arms-length, as it's Soni talking about Soni with no independent analysis. The article could be draftified, but unless and until there's a major development in her career, I can't imagine it being approved at AfC, so deletion seems the kindest course of action.

Delete for now and draft and userfy again later if needed, as I along with several other users (Wikiisawesome and Stabila711) attempted to help this user not resubmit immediately for review and instead add any more available sources for solid notability and acceptability.

Hi all,

I sincerely hope that anyone would like to share why this page should be deleted other than all the existing MCN wiki pages, I am willing to do amendment to fulfill the requirement but first I need to know which part I need to correct, thank you. I have made certain editing to avoid potential promotional elements. I have also added some of the Hong Kong local press talking about this company as references, there is not any promotional elements in the page. Thanks.-Patrickyu2014 (talk) 02:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced. I found an exact word-for-word copy of the first citation on another site [3], which makes me suspect it's a company-authored press release. Take that out, along with all the self-published sources (which I removed from the "Content and Creators" section and external links), and the only reliable source is the Marketing Interactive one. That's not enough depth of coverage to satisfy the notability criteria for companies.

Delete or rewrite entirely. Article written by single-purpose account for promotional purposes. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. The quality of the writing is that of a promotional release, not an encyclopedia article; there is very little encyclopedic content here and the notability of the company is not clear. If it can be demonstrated that the company meets the relevant notability criteria then the article should be rewritten as an NPOV encyclopedia article. If not then it should be deleted for now.

Like the current deletion nomination for the author, available here, the subject of this article appears to lack sufficient notability to warrant a standalone article. The first reference link no longer points to the article's subject, but when it did, it was probably a listing for purchase on the distributor's website. The second reference is also a void, and the entire domain has since closed down. Given the murky nature of the notability claim for the author, the fact that even on the Amharic Wikipedia the article on this subject has no references, and the otherwise unknown nature of its claim to notability, I think it probably needs to be deleted from the mainspace unless someone can produce some independent, reliable, non-trivial references in either English or Amharic.

May I respectfully ask for a reconsideration to deleting this page in view of the following reasons:

The person being cited on this page has significantly contributed to his sector of specializations, hence, his story may be considered as a public information
The person's information that are written on this page are all available on the net, hence, I, as a contributor just decided to put everything together in one article.
All references and citations are legitimate websites and credible pages, so I don't think, there's an intent to plagiarize or create information just for the purpose of creating a page
Kindly consider reviewing his story on the net and see how inspiring this person is not just to me but to the people he worked with or the audience he shared his thoughts with through workshops and seminars.
I'd also like ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I GOT TOO EXCITED SEEING MY CONTRIBUTION on the net through Wikipedia but i was not aware of some technicalities in using such, hence, i would appreciate your guidance on this.

With all these, i look forward to your kind consideration.

From doing a bit of article-to-article hopping regarding the entire issue that user:HDS' articles seem to be having at the moment, it seems that the popularity and lasting notability of these bands is entirely inward rather than outward.

Delete The article is written by the same editor who has produced other similarly purely Shia-propagandist articles which 1) create articles of non-notable things--as long as they can be misconstrued to aid in Shia one-upmanship. 2) Contain info that is dishonestly claimed to be in the supporting references. The info is purely the common arguments and beliefs elucidated on Shia chat forums; however, it is clothed with references in order to give a veneer of legitimacy. Basically, it's gaming the wiki system. 3) Misrepresent Sunni positions by claiming Sunnis even support the Shia position--therefore the Shia position must be correct. You will see these exact same tactics used by this editor in all the similar articles he has created on wiki. Other editors of his ilk have also used the same strategy, and i see a concerted effort here in spreading Shia propaganda--not encyclopedic content. Not only should this article be deleted but this editor's contributions should be thoroughly scrutinized to weed out the rubbish that only belongs on Shia chat forums.--58.106.229.229 (talk) 03:49, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OP clearly doesn't understand article as this is not about an EVENT as claimed. The editor who created the article has contributed 45 articles on Islam this year, through the AFC process, and only two were deleted, now OP has decided to mass nominate articles about which he does not understand. Article creator has no block log, no warnings ever posted to talk page, no SPI history and no mentions at ANI.

You should read up on WP:AGF if you seriously question why I would defend the article creator. The creator was attacked (suspiciously by an IP), but as I stated, nothing I can find backs those accusations up of user doing anything wrong. User is even going through AFC to create articles, so it's not like they're spamming articles. The article is well-sourced to begin with. Did you even research this topic? It seems you didn't since you twice refer to it as an "event," showing no knowledge of the Hadith or its significance. [15] —Мандичка^YO 😜 11:55, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an AFD so if you want to defend the creator go to the SPI if there is any. As for your source. It is self published through lulu.com so kinda laughable as an RS, therefore the question still remains that if this is sooooooo notable, why not provide some RS? I have taken the time to go through the google results and almost all of them mention this as an off handed one or two line mention. Such trivial mentions do not count as "indepth" coverage.

Strong delete. English Google search returns 15 (yes, FIFTEEN) hits, Arabic search returns 137 (!) hits. For a Hadith, it is negligible, and definitely suggestive of being non-notable for an English-language encyclopaedia. kashmiri ^TALK 23:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This author's books, though currently out of print, are well known in Malawi. The book "Makangano a Zamoyo" was reprinted seven times between 1965 and 1998 and was on the school syllabus for a long time. The other one was also printed at least twice between 1953 and 1999. The article is also one of a series of articles on Malawian writers in the Chichewa language, and the series would be incomplete without it. Don't forget also that this article is a stub.

Although there's not much publicly available information about this author, I feel that the notability qualifications for Malawian writers need to be less strict than for European or American ones. After all, there have been only 50 or so, or certainly less than 100, literary works written in the Chichewa (Chewa) language. These two books, which were reprinted several times over a period of 30 years, were on the school syllabus, and are well known in Malawi, are therefore notable by local standards. The internet has only been going here for a short time, so you can't expect a lot of coverage of an author who died some time ago. Notability is one Wikipedia policy, but another policy is to increase the coverage of parts of the world other than English-speaking countries. This second policy will fall at the first hurdle if you insist that everything mentioned should have been covered in media reports or academic books written by English-speakers. For this reason I think the article should stay. Kanjuzi (talk) 19:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't insist that they be covered in works "written by English-speakers" at all. What we do insist is that their notability should be verifiable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:59, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even though it might be a bit unusual for a German academic to hold such a position at a Chinese university, I agree this academic rank doesn't justify notability. However the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines as a Creative Professional WP:CREATIVE: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of … multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." This is true for his book Tools for Ideas, which has been reviewed, discussed, cited, translated to English and Chinese, and has been used in university education in quite a few counties. As an architect, the subject also "played a major role in co-creating" much-published architectural works in his role as a project architect in the architecture office of Álvaro Siza. 街路道 (talk) 01:09, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ (continued) Here are a few numbers to support the argument I made above: Worldcat lists for [Gänshirt, Christian]: "19 works in 51 publications in 4 languages and 742 library holdings". For his book Tools for Ideas [Worldcat lists 452 library holdings], plus 95 [library holdings for the German edition].

~~Keep~~ (continued) Two more numbers to support the first argument I made above: For the subject’s book “Tools for Ideas”, Google Scholar lists 38 works referencing the English edition, plus 13 referencing the German edition “Werkzeuge für Ideen”, adding up to 51 references. Again, for a book in the humanities should be more than enough to demonstrate its significance.街路道 (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to administrator - all four "keep" votes above come from the same single-purpose account that has done nothing aside from comment on this discussion. I do not believe the subject meets the notability criteria at WP:CREATIVE. The idea that Tools for Ideas is a well-known work is simply not true. Google results are extremely sparse. It should also be noted that the Tools for Ideas page was created by another single-purpose account and is promotional in tone. Lastly, that the subject worked as a project architect and contributed to major projects does not establish notability through WP:CREATIVE - in any architecture firm there are many project architects that have a hand in many major works, yet few project architects have actually received the depth of coverage in secondary sources to warrant a Wikipedia page. This subject also has not. The numerous single-purpose accounts and promotional WP:ARTSPAM pages surrounding him smells of a case of using Wikipedia for advertising, contrary to our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not. Ganshirt himself made a few fledgling edits to Wikipedia mere days before Tools for Ideas was created by the SPA. I suspect a case of of self-promotion through a web of sockpuppets. Here is a list of SPAs (or near-SPAs) surrounding the subject that may be socks:

Right, we are such a network. For someone who is familiar with the way Wikipedia works this should be easy to see (and is intended to be), simply have a look at the lists of edits/contributions. All we did is provide information; all information provided conforms with Wikipedia standards, is verifiable and properly referenced. We never got involved in editorial conflicts or any discussions (except this one). 街路道 (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The policies are clear. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. The use of sockpuppets for inappropriate reasons, i.e. avoiding scrutiny or contributing to the same page with multiple accounts (as you have), is prohibited. Editing with a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged and paid editing without COI disclosure is prohibited under the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use. You never got in editorial conflicts because you obfuscated the promotional nature of your editing by using numerous sockpuppets to create the illusion of a diverse body of editors all working on these articles. Citobun (talk) 09:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note regarding the first argument given above: Since it's existing, the Wikipedia page on Tools for Ideas has usually had over one thousand | visitors per month, this could be regarded another indicator that the book is not that unimportant. Until now, no one had any complaints about that page. 街路道 (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia pageviews are not an indication of notability. But since you pointed it out, the fact that the pageviews are high is merely a testament to the fact that you used your sockpuppets to Wikilink to this article on hundreds of related articles on Wikipedia, i.e. by inserting it into the Design template. Citobun (talk) 09:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question, regarding the second argument given above: If architects spend years of their work life in a leading role (like project architect in this example) working on the making of an important building, why should this not be considered “Co-creation” in terms of WP:CREATIVE? What would then be the meaning of this term? 街路道 (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Every large architecture firm has numerous directors, yet rarely do these people have sufficient coverage to meet Wikipedia notability criteria. At the same firms there are countless more project architects who have a hand in major works, but have not received major coverage, in-depth discussion and similarly do not meet notability criteria. If Ganshirt played a leading role in designing the Sydney Opera House then he might meet the criteria at WP:CREATIVE. But forgive me if I am a little doubtful that Tools for Ideas has made a major impact, given that the article was written by you and your sockpuppets, that you have a clear conflict of interest, are doing this for promotional purposes, and that I have never head of this book and cannot find indepth coverage on Google. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion and you have abused multiple accounts – just stop. Citobun (talk) 09:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but Siza has never run a large architecture firm, at the time there were not more than 25 people working in his office, and it did't have any "directors" besides himself, let alone "countless more project architects". The question here is what co-creation means in terms of WP:CREATIVE, Citobun did not respond to that. As I said above, please check "gänshirt tools for ideas" on Google and Google Scholar and see how many results come up. "I have never heard of this book" is not a particularly strong argument. Anyway, since GoogleBooks made the book available online for free, sales numbers dropped to almost zero, so there in not much of a point in promoting it. Finally, we only used one and the same signature in this whole discussion, because we do not want to confuse anybody. 街路道 (talk) 12:13, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ganshirt does not meet the WP:BASIC criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (people). He has not received a sufficient depth of coverage in reliable secondary sources. As that page states, meeting one or more "additional criteria" does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Your references do not demonstrate a depth and breadth of coverage nor a focus on Ganshirt - every architecture firm has these sorts of portfolio publications done up by architectural publishers that detail their most significant work over the years. This does not instil notability to every single project architect. Lastly I feel that if Ganshirt and his work is so notable then someone will independently make a Wikipedia article of their own accord. The articles you have created are tainted by the simple fact that you have abused multiple accounts for promotional purposes, violating a core policy of Wikipedia: that of NPOV. You know that and that's why you have so many sockpuppets to avoid scrutiny. This sort of manipulative behavior harms the credibility of the encyclopedia. It is embarrassing to the subject of the COI edits. It wastes the time of volunteer editors (i.e. myself and any admins who have to pore through this mess). Just shameful – I have literally wasted hours researching your 11 sockpuppet accounts and corresponding with you here when I could be making meaningful contributions elsewhere. Wikipedia is not for advertisement and promotion, there are other websites for that that I advise you to try instead. Citobun (talk) 12:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to admins - I think that by continuously commenting, and creating a new bullet point for every single comment, the above sockpuppet is really confusing this discussion and dissuading other people from contributing. The issue here is pretty cut-and-dry (i.e. someone is abusing multiple accounts to promote a non-notable subject and sell their book) and yet passers-by are led to believe this is a highly controversial AfD by virtue of the EIGHT separate comments the sockpuppet has left.

Delete This is just a ridiculous case of Self promotion. Using Citespam and Refspam for Bookspamming through a zoo of socks. Has ever anyone written one substantial sentence in the articles about the subject or its book that is not part of his (meat) puppet zoo? I have deleted the link to his book from the template Design.[20] -- Ben Ben ^(talk) 14:05, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also deleted the link to his book from the template Visualization[21] where it was set by one of the socks. [22] -- Ben Ben ^(talk) 00:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The question should not be who provided the information, but if the information provided is correct or not. Tools for Ideas obviously meets the Wikipedia standards for notability, this is not the topic of this discussion. 街路道 (talk) 13:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I have the constant feeling of listening to a con artist while reading your arguments? Can you answer me that? -- Ben Ben ^(talk) 00:52, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to administrators - It was certainly our mistake to use alternate accounts to provide information, and we totally understand your difficulties in trusting that information now. Being aware of that, we took great care to support all information with the necessary references for independent verification. Is there anything else we could do about that? In the discussion above we basically provided two arguments defending the notability of the subject as a Creative Professional WP:CREATIVE. The first argument, which is probably the stronger one, is his book Tools for Ideas. Please verify the data provided above (more than 500 library holdings listed in Worldcat, 50 citations in Google Scholar, quite a few results for "gänshirt tools for ideas" on Google) to make your decision. You might also have a look at the footnotes of that page to find authors commenting on or discussing concepts of the book in some depth (see footnotes 18-22 for reviews in German, footnote 21 for one translated into English). The second argument touches on the more difficult question if the work of a project architect in a small, but important architecture office could be acknowledged as "a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work" in terms of WP:CREATIVE. We are not sure about the standards Wikipedia applies in such a case. Should you decide to relist this AfD debate again, please provide some guidance on how to continue. 街路道 (talk) 16:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop referring to yourself in the plural form, it is misleading and manipulative. Secondly I already answered all your queries above. If a subject is genuinely notable then someone will eventually independently create an article for them. You don't need to do it yourself. This is an encyclopedia, not LinkedIn. Citobun (talk) 03:13, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see any independent significant coverage about this person. An average professor. Every professor writes textbooks to make extra money. Staszek Lem (talk) 04:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete/userfy. (I was asked to comment here). I'll ping User:Randykitty for a 2nd opinion regarding WP:PROF, but his research seems not to meet the requirements. As for notability for being a writer, I am not sure if Tools for Ideas is notable at all: I see no reviews in Google Scholar. There are few on the web, primarily in German, and I am not sure those are sufficiently reliable sources to support the notability of the book. And even if the book is notable, I don't think it's significant enough for his notability as a writer. PS. I'd advise the creator(s) to stop abusing Wikipedia for promotion, but instead, ask for this and related pages to be userfied (maybe in few years the subject will gain proper notability). The article is well written, but encyclopedias are not places to advertise oneself. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't ask him to support my POV. I messaged a single user, whom I have not interacted with before, for a third opinion because I feared that this AfD would get closed with no consensus. My message was totally neutral. Review WP:CANVASSING - what I did, messaging one user for a third opinion, does not quality as canvassing. Meanwhile you are continually trying to manipulate this discussion despite your WP:COI. Thankfully we have consensus now (five delete vs. one keep from an SPA COI pseudo-Chinese sockpuppet) so happily this waste of time should not be drawn out much longer. Citobun (talk) 03:50, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember that this is not a voting process, this debate is about the question if the arguments presented are valid or not. Simply ignoring them does'nt make them less valid. Your request was not neutral at all, it was eloquently conveying your point of view. I'd be very grateful if you could stop trying to manipulate this discussion by telling other users they should stop contributing to it. I will defend my point of view as long as it is necessary. 街路道 (talk) 06:51, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. GScholar indicates just a handful of citations. Does not appear to meet WP:PROF. As for the book, that article reads like an advert and somebody should go through it carefully to see whether the references actually support what is being claimed (the article looks suspiciously like a work created for hire: it's expertly written and formatted perfectly, and this by an editor with just a handful of edits...) I checked one reference for the book being used in a university course and it was just included in a long "further reading" list, which is trivial. We see the same thing here: the rather mediocre claim to fame ("site manager", really?) that "He worked as a site manager in a BAL team taking care of the transformation of the Former Reichsbank building into the headquarters of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, a project overseen by Hans Kollhoff & Helga Timmermann." is supported by a link to the homepage of BAL, which does not mention Gänshirt. --Randykitty (talk) 10:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That is only partially correct. Yes, I was pinged by Piotrus, no I was not asked to give support for a particular point of view. Piotrus regularly pings me to give my opinion in cases where I have expertise that may be useful. Even if I had been asked to support a particular POV, I always make up my own mind and Piotrus certainly knows that (see here for an example where I don't give the answer that he may have hoped for). Contrary to what 街路道 suggests, no canvassing has been going on here, as it is perfectly reasonable to ping editors who may have specialized knowledge. --Randykitty (talk) 09:55, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, (although this is not necessarily relevant for afds) I am always a little uncomfortable with non-english subjects who do not have an article in their country's wikipedia (I usually check to see if they have any useable references) ie. Gänshirt does not have an article in the German wikipedia [23]. Coolabahapple (talk) 12:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's just that I'm not sure, especially considering that there are so many interwiki links and that Mawla seems to be the parent word of the others I've mentioned. - HyperGaruda (talk) 20:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In all European-lang wikis texts are basically same: dicdefs. And I am not aware that being a "parent word" makes it notable. If this were the case, we'd have whole Latin and Greek vocabulary in wikipedia. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:40, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay...I have to apologize here. I saw this when I started, intended to respond, unfortunately forgot and saw it again and assumed that I had responded. But yes, there is an etymological relationship between the above mentioned terms; all of them are ultimately related to the Arabic word wali and wilayah, but not all of the above derived terms are Arabic (Mowlawi and Mawlana being examples of that). As for whether or not that warrants the article being kept, then as you all know, that's a separate topic entirely. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:47, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Looks to be purely a WP:DICDEF. Not opposed to a redirect if there's an appropriate target. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:11, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if sufficiently improved; otherwise selective merge to Mawali. In the argument above between HyperGaruda and Staszek Lem, HyperGaruda is largely right - terms like Mawali and Mawlana have a far closer conceptual relationship to mawla than any of Staszek Lem's examples have to czerwony (indeed, in origin, Mawali seems just to be the plural of mawla). Mawla can apparently be translated into English as either "patron" or "client", depending on context - in early Muslim society, through to the fall of the Ummayad Caliphate, these patron/client relationships were socially immensely important, to the point where conversion to Islam was only possible if the convert entered into such a relationship with an existing Muslim. This feature of Muslim society largely disappeared after the fall of the Ummayads, but the word and its close relatives remained in use to describe somewhat similar relationships. To be fair, the current article scarcely touches on this at all, so in itself would be no great loss - Mawali already pretty much covers the Ummayad-period patron-client relationships though, if someone with enough expertise could write it, we could certainly do with an article closer in style to the corresponding article on Spanish Wikipedia in its coverage of connections between various related terms - unfortunately, I have absolute none of the knowledge of Arabic that would be necessary to do this adequately. Failing this, redirecting to Mawali would at least roughly cover the original concept, but merging in one or two of the definitional points from here would somewhat strengthen that article. PWilkinson (talk) 01:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish article has nothing beyond dicdef plus summaries for derived terms. Their wikipedia have their rules, we have ours. There is nothing to merge. the dicdef for mawla is already there. The rest is gibberish. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Replace Mawla's contents by those of Mawali and redirect Mawali to Mawla. This text gives a nice explanation of its meaning and most importantly: mawali is the plural form of mawla. Per WP:PLURAL, the current Mawali article should thus actually be titled Mawla. - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:33, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When considering the merger of revision histories, perhaps it is better to just delete Mawla and then move Mawali to Mawla. - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:39, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Currently the article is strictly a WP:DICDEF (or worse -- a partial dictionary entry in that it provides lexicographical information and usage without even including a straight definition). As Wikipedia specifically does not include articles that are dictionary definitions, this a problem regardless of how important the term is (there are lots of important terms that don't have Wikipedia articles. That said, if anyone wants to edit the article to be about a single concept rather than a word, I'd happily reconsider.

In my opinion one of the shoddiest articles on wikipedia which should have been tagged with speedy deletion rather than AFD. There are millions of words used in the Hadith and the Quran, so are we going to include them all in wikipedia because they are "important in Islamic studies"? I am afraid not.

Yukichi Chuganji[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Reads in its entirety (omitting the 4/5 of the article which talks about all the other people who were older, not as old, Japanese, not Japanese, oldest living person, oldest living woman, man, Spanish man, the name of his daughter, and so on):

Yukichi Chuganji (March 23, 1889 – September 28, 2003) was a Japanese supercentenarian and the world's oldest man (and later the world's oldest person) until his death at age 114 years, 189 days. He lived in the city of Ogori, Fukuoka. He died as the verified oldest Asian man ever.

Recommend redirect to appropriate list, per WP:NOPAGE / WP:PERMASTUB. (The one (1) source in the article yields the additional information that he drank milk but not alcohol, and that he drank apple juice just before dying; I don't think that changes the NOPAGE situation, however.) EEng (talk) 02:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Afd of Yukichi Chuganji? I thought joke. there is no reason to deleted or redirected. as the reason, the previous AfD of similar record holder (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) result was keep, in the same way as this article should be keep. also, this person is noted than other people who was world's oldest person, because Chuganji is one of the few men to hold the world's oldest person title. (As women live longer than men, became the world's oldest person for men is very rare.)--Inception2010 (talk) 09:20, 4 December 2015 (UTC) This editor has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]
Delete and Redirect per nom. What title? We established that people in China (1/5th of the world's population) can't even compete in this non-competition. Therefore at best the title is for "World's Oldest (except China and other places we don't like the record keeping in, and only because someone else they never met died, and only until further research proves someone else held the title, and not counting the 80% of the supercenturians we know exist but can't name or document) Person" Legacypac (talk) 09:44, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Legacypac Your argument undermines itself. You're entirely right that this is not a competition; We don't choose the winners but we do include those individuals who have been recognized in reliable and verifiable sources for some particular accomplishment or characteristic; that's what the Wikipedia Notability standard is all about. The sources here are unequivocal in that recognition and that's why the article belongs here. The bullshit argument that there is some unknown person who might have been older is irrelevant and should be disregarded. Alansohn (talk) 15:22, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Legacypac, I'm sorry that you don't have basic critical thinking or research skills. He was the oldest KNOWN AND VERIFIED man, according to Guinness World Records and the Gerontology Research Group (highly regarded organisations). It's nothing "personal" against China, it's just that the country has very poor record-keeping systems. If you can't prove someone is as old as they claim, they can't be recognised as the official world's oldest person (otherwise, what's to stop ME from claiming to be 150?). Stop with the same old WP:IDONTLIKEIT arguments. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 23:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about the meaning of the word "notable" in Wikipedia policy. It is not meant in the colloquial sense. It's is defined for Wikipedia's purposes here: WP:N. The subject may well be notable in the colloquial sense of the word. But the subject is clearly not notable for Wikipedia's purposes. The whole article hangs on a single BBC obit and on irrelevant (and unsourced) "horse race" coverage of who breathed longer than the subject and whose permanent interruption of breathing led to someone falling short of the subject's record-breaking achievement. David in DC (talk) 16:06, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

David in DC, this betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about the meaning of the word "notable" in Wikipedia policy. I don't care about horse racing, but we have thousands of article about horses, whose sole claim of notability is that they ran faster than a handful of other horses, breathing through their nostrils to run a few fractions of a second faster than their competitors. This is an article about someone whose is covered in reliable sources worldwide as being the world's oldest person, a claim of notability that puts this one individual ahead of several billion others. I don't give a steaming turd about whether or not you think this accomplishment is notable; what matters to me, and to Wikipedia, is that this individual has a strong claim of notability backed by appropriate reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 17:51, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we're reading different articles. The only source referenced in the article I'm looking at is a single, routine BBC obit. David in DC (talk) 18:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see that after you wrote your "steaming turd" screed here, you added two references to the article. One is not a reliable source. The other is a second routine obit. Neither transmutes this dross into gold. Per WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB the proper treatment for this material remains to delete it and then redirect the subjects name to one of the appropriate lists. David in DC (talk) 18:49, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@David in DC: I would suggest you do not cast doubt on the ability of an experienced editor to interpret Wikipedia policy and guidelines and try to "explain" them to me. It makes you sound intensely patronising. I'm fully aware of the meaning of notability, both in the real world and on Wikipedia, and it would seem that the majority of editors here agree with me. Thank you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:48, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Happily, we experienced editors know that majority !votes are irrelevant to our endeavor. It's the quality of our analyses that should prevail.

Also, I'm ever so appreciative if your kind suggestion. None of us has a monopoly on the wisdom market and I, for one, truly rely on the guidance of other experienced editors on matters if civility. Most especially from experienced editors with sterling reputations for civility and collaborative editing. I count my blessings every day for the willingness of my esteemed fellow editors to countenance my failings in this area and to gently help guide me towards improvement in this area. Thanks, cheers, and happy editing, my sibling. David in DC (talk) 13:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think it is common sense that someone who was at one time the oldest living person in the world is notable, and even if there was no other reason to keep this article, then it should be kept based on the instruction in WP:Notability to use common sense. However, I think obituaries from major news organizations are sufficient coverage to show that a person is notable, and that he does in fact have significant coverage in reliable sources. The references to WP:ROUTINE mentioned above are a misapplication of the guideline, since WP:ROUTINE is a section of Wikipedia:Notability (events), and thus has no bearing on whether a person is notable. The point of WP:ROUTINE is that the death of the person is not a notable event. Newspapers routinely run obituaries for notable people, and that doesn't provide evidence that the death should be covered in a separate article. However, such coverage in a reliable source is evidence that the person is notable and should have their own article. I furthermore disagree that this article should be merged or redirected per WP:NOPAGE, as that section seems to call primarily for a subjective assessment of whether the article subject would be better covered in a larger article. In this case, I think the details in this article would not improve other articles, and instead think that we are covering the subject in the best way right now (with a little information in articles like oldest people, and some more information in a standalone article). I also disagree with WP:PERMASTUB in general, as I find stub articles useful and satisfying to read even when they can't be expanded; since it is an essay and not a guideline, it should have no bearing on the outcome of the discussion. In short, I think he passes the notability guidelines and I find none of the arguments for a redirect convincing. Calathan (talk) 19:48, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was the oldest man in the world out of several billion and one of the oldest men of all time. Coverage in sources exist. Passes WP:GNG. Why is WP:NOPAGE being vehemently applied to longevity articles, but not others?

"Coverage in sources exist". WP:BURDEN suggests that you provide it, not require everyone else to prove a negative. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is a massive inconsistency in that the article's two sources (both WP:ROUTINE obituaries) claim he was the world's oldest man around the time of his death while the entire article goes into a circular speak about how he wasn't considered the world's oldest man at that time due to the Kamato Hongo issues. As such, we have two routine obituaries which don't show particularly notable coverage as the only sources about him (citation 3 to Table C is entirely a sourcing issue about whether or not the GRG or Guinness believed or didn't believe in the Hongo claim and isn't related to Chuganji. It seems like it's a WP:FRINGE theory that anyone believed that Hongo was the world's oldest man (making the whole GRG craziness more suspect). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Was the World's Oldest Verified Living Man and, later, Person. That is a pretty valid reason as to why this article should be kept. There are several articles about this man:

Japanese Man, 112, World's Oldest (4 February 2002)
World's oldest man celebrates 113th birthday (23 March 2002)
Oldest man marks 114th birthday (24 March 2003)

He was also mentioned alongside Kamato Hongo as one of the oldest in the world numerous times. 930310 (talk) 22:55, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yup. You're absolutely correct. I suppose I had it in my head that I found more sources by searching for Clara Norton Fowler rather than Beauchamp so that was the more common usage. Reading them over again though, it does seem that "Beauchamp" is the subject, and "Fowler" is mentioned as extra info. I'll just go ahead and scratch out my move suggestion now.

Rufus Davis[edit]

While the article makes a credible claim of significance that I felt avoided speedy deletion, the notability of Rufus Davis, as defined in Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines, isn't clear.

Delete - Non-notable small town mayor lacking notability. Article written by article subject. reddogsix (talk) 21:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
5K is not large enough to get a mayor over WP:NPOL just for the fact of being a mayor — it can be enough to satisfy #3 if the article is genuinely substantive and well-sourced, but isn't large enough to give a mayor automatic inclusion rights just because he exists. However, the level of sourcing here is not adequate to get him over WP:GNG. And even the "first African American mayor" bit doesn't help much — that, too, can be enough of a claim of notability if the sourcing for it is a lot better than this, but it doesn't constitute an automatic inclusion freebie either if the sourcing is this weak and this local. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 18:02, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Even in regard to "first African American mayor", I'd say it's probably always a reasonable claim of significance. But as for meeting WP:NPOL in the face of failure to meet WP:GNG, we've probably reached a point where it's no longer Wikipedia-notable that arbitrary towns in the United States happen to have elected a mayor who's African American for the first time. It's become pretty WP:ROUTINE (which is a good thing!), not a milestone that's going to get national, or even state, media coverage every time it happens, particularly in a place like Camilla, Georgia, which is 65% African American. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The song fails WP:NSONG. All the content from background section is sourced to the involved artists themselves talking about the song and general trivia related to the song. NSONGS says ".. This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work..." The critical reception section writes reviews of the songs from mostly WP:RS but NSONGS says "... Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created..."; which is what is happening here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:39, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We have articles on about half winners of the Polk awards. The category "Transportation Reporting" was awarded only twice, so it's hard to compare. But apart from journalist, he's a notable author: His book ENIAC, the triumphs and tragedies of the world's first computer is in 728 libraries, and is the most widely held book ever published on the subject. [39] His other books are held in between 200 and 300 libraries. There are undoubtedly reviews, and they need to be looked for)--one substantial review is in IEEE Annals of the History of Computing , [40], but for the most widely held book on a topic like Eniac, they will be there.

Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BLP. Sources in article are Youtube videos of the subject in media appearances, a list to a book publisher's authors, and a broken link to a book review in a magazine.

Keep Has a NY Times bestseller, passes GNG, I'm finding significant coverage going back to 2008 which I've been adding to the article. I hope this article isn't up for deletion because she's a "diet guru." While I think that stuff is crap, I am able to be partial enough to see she passes GNG at the least. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:09, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, being an author of a book on a bestseller list does not satisfy WP:AUTHOR in order to meet notability. The Toronto Star [45] article is a book review and does not cover the authors of the book in depth. The source from Black Enterprise [46] is also a book review, but it seems to be more of a promotional junket rather than a piece about her. Let me be clear, this is a person who went to a diploma-mill school, Clayton College of Natural Health, from where she got an ND and PhD and wrote a book about detoxing and rapidly losing weight which made the New York Times Bestseller list for three weeks in 2007. She has no other marks of notability. Delta13C (talk) 21:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- I disagree with you. She passes GNG in my opinion. I'm not saying she's a brain surgeon, I just think she passes GNG. I think detox diets and naturopathic medicines are woo, but I'm not going to say she doesn't pass GNG because of that. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:14, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, Agree with nominator that a book appearing on NY Times bestseller list does not contribute to WP:AUTHOR. It does, however, contribute to notability of the book. I have also found these which may be deemed okay for the book's notability: [47] - Washington Post a review of 2008, unfortunately need to purchase so can't say if and in-depth review or not (if link doesn't work just go into Washington post site, their archives and search book title, it is hit no. 9), [48] - Cape Cod Times short review (but not just a trivial listing:))- "takes readers on a journey to understand foods and the ways we process them, using the life experiences of real people to illustrate changes we all can make for better health.", [49] - What Is a Detox Diet? in Fitness magazine (as this is a review of the actual diet at the 'Vinyard' it maybe useable for either DeLuz or book?) - "FITNESS says: Avoid it. Three weeks with no solid food is "too extreme," says Detroyer. Plus, "nobody needs enemas or colonics. There is absolutely no research to support [their benefits], and I think it could be dangerous. It could dehydrate you if you are not adequately replacing lost fluids."", and [50] - Toronto Star in-depth(?) review (already in article) - "Although DeLuz recommends a 21-day detox, the plan can be modified into a seven-day cleanse or a two-day cleanse. .. Helene Charlebois, a registered dietitian based in Ottawa, says the Martha's Vineyard plan is not meant for – and shouldn't be tried by – people new to detox diets. .. OUR VERDICT: If you regularly rely on a cleanse or detox, you can probably make your way through this one, too. But if a detox is new territory for you, it might be best to stay away or, at least, get professional help.", also worldcat shows[51] book is in 600 libraries(I know this can't be used for notability but it is an indicator?...) ps. I am also concerned that her main claim to fame is a book which she co-authored with two other people, so an article on the book may be the way to go.

Delete Noone's linking to any coverage of him independent of his diet, and a mere google search is poor evidence. Appears to be one of a thousand fad diets that get temporary coverage then go away - WP:ONEEVENT applies.

California Bureau of Naturopathic Medicine[edit]

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

This article does not seem to meet notability guidelines for organizations (WP:ORG). The references that are cited in the article are closely associated with the organization: one is the agency's website and another a dead link to the California Dept. of Consumer Affairs. I did a search for news articles mentioning the committee, and there are two, but they do not cover the agency in depth. The first mentions a naturopath who is appointed to the committee's board.[52] And the second lists the committee as an opponent of a mandatory vaccine law passed in California in an article covering the bill.[53] There is no independent and in-depth overage of this organization, therefore the organization cannot be notable to those outside the organization.

Gary Jones (Louisiana politician)[edit]

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

Despite some coverage in the local newspapers, which is to be expected for someone seeking lower-level political office, this does not pass GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. Superintendent, school board member--no, not notable by our standards. Drmies (talk) 01:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. The refs supplied are either of very local interest only or inadmissible. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:48, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd have !voted for deletion had there been nothing but local coverage of the BESE race. However, Googling reveals that Jones was also in charge of Task Force Pelican, commanding National Guard operations in Louisiana for the first month following Hurricane Katrina, including the evacuation of the Superdome and the Morial Convention Center. Jones appears throughout James A. Wombwell's "Army Support During the Hurricane Katrina Disaster", published by the US Army's Combat Studies Institute Press. The WP article doesn't mention Jones's role in this, but the identity of the TF Pelican Jones with the Jones of this article is shown at this Times-Picayune article. Among this, the Louisiana Life piece on Jones as Louisianan of the Year—Education, and the coverage of the BESE election, I think we've got enough material to satisfy WP:GNG. — Ammodramus (talk) 04:26, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Ammodramus, I appreciate the work, though I disagree--the Times Picayune article only spends a few sentences on him, and actually doesn't say anything about him other than saying he was in charge of one operation. The MyNewOrleans article is exactly like the kind of coverage decent citizens get in local publications. My neighbor was the Montgomery Citizen of the Year a few years ago, but I wouldn't dream of writing up his article. Anyway, Louisiana Life is a subsection of New Orleans Magazine, which is basically one of those fancy-looking local publications (not an RS) that live on advertising and non-journalistic, mainly promotional writing, so we shouldn't put much stock in the award or the writing about it. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:35, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, I wasn't citing the Times-Picayune article in support of Jones's notability. Since Gary Jones is a fairly common name, I was making sure that the Jones of our discussion was the same person as the Jones of Task Force Pelican. The T-P article provides that proof. Given that, I think that the Wombwell piece establishes notability. Note, too, that Jones was a brigadier general, which appears to satisfy criterion (3) at WP:MILPEOPLE. — Ammodramus (talk) 22:40, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but the Wombwell book is not an independent publication and can thus not really add toward notability, which is why I didn't talk about it. Drmies (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- No, Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ), not until you explain to our audience how he meets any of the requirements in POLITICIAN, for instance. He is obviously not a "Major local political figure", and it sure looks like he is "Just being an elected local official". As for the GNG, you know as well as everyone else that his coverage is completely local, and consists of the kind of run-of-the-mill coverage that local newspapers write about.

Delete..This shouldhave been speedied. It's onlty A7 that can't be used on schools. Obviously the work of a child. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:20, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per Kudpung. Inherently non-notable. The work of a child. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - I mean seriously? Absolutely zero notability. In fact, if notability could have a negative value, this article would qualify. Although, the main article for the school would likely remain due to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:42, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
