The article starts out with a lie: The "debut studio album released by Greg Hardy" was anything but released by Hardy. Rather, someone else released it under Hardy's name without his approval. Quote Hardy: "Don't go buy this crap someone stole my old stuff & threw some BS edits on it & put it out pretending to be with me." Thus the article would have to be rewritten almost entirely to become correct.Untruths related to this album had been added to the article on Hardy, too. However, I see no indication that, apart from the buzz surrounding the release under false pretenses, the album comes close to meeting Wikipedia's standards of notability. Rather, the article is part of a campaign to promote DJ Many whose article was deleted about eight times, last in April following a deletion discussion. Huon (talk) 23:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - given the subject (of snipers) often receives fairly wide coverage in the popular media I'd have expected to find something about him fairly easily at least (even despite not being from a Western / English speaking nation). There is a bit in low quality web sources (Instagram, Facebook, blogs etc) but nothing I think would qualify as WP:RS. Google books didn't reveal any coverage in dead tree sources either. As such as near as I can tell the subject is not notable per WP:GNG. Given the issues highlighted by Anders Feder above I'd have to question whether the sources that do exist are accurate at any rate. Anotherclown (talk) 23:40, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a member of a judicial selection committee, resting on two primary sources and one passing namecheck of his existence as a quotegiver in a BBC news article which fails to be about him — thus not sourced adequately to satisfy WP:GNG. Delete unless the sourcing can be significantly beefed up. Bearcat (talk) 18:44, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The first dozen or so words of the nomination strongly suggest that the nominator does not quite know what he is talking about in this case. The Judicial Appointments Commission is responsible for appointing most senior judges in England and, while membership of it is in itself unlikely to guarantee notability, it is the kind of body where one only becomes a member if one is already very much part of the British Establishment and likely (though not certain) not only to be notable already for something else, but continue to get more very well-paid jobs requiring relatively little work but a lot of legal responsibility for the actions of one's subordinates, with further opportunities for gaining notability. In this case, the subject seems to be somewhat self-effacing, and references to him seem to get hidden among more numerous ones to his namesake Francis Plowden (barrister) - but I suspect that someone using this CV for extra search terms and prepared to do quite a bit of searching could quite possibly find enough reliable (though possibly only moderately substantial) sources to establish notability. PWilkinson (talk) 23:41, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd request that you not cast aspersions on my degree of "knowing what I'm talking about". The committee is absolutely notable enough that a properly sourced article about Plowden could be kept — but it's not a role that confers any automatic entitlement to keep an article regardless of the quality of sourcing present. My nomination made clear that I'm perfectly willing to withdraw this if the sourcing can be repaired. Bearcat (talk) 17:29, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Satisfies GNG. Has, in particular, an article in A & C Black's Who's Who, which is conclusive proof of notability. I think he can be taken to satisfy PROF as his book "The State Under Stress" has 213 citations (ie 144 + 67 + 2) according to GScholar (on a search for "f j plowden". James500 (talk) 23:44, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I do think this should be moved to Francis John Plowden, his actual name, and the barrister, who seems more famous, moved to the present location of this article. James500 (talk) 04:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• If he's not known as Francis John Plowden then the article shouldn't use that as a title. This is a long-established principle of Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Who's Who calls him "Francis John Plowden", as do other sources such as a symposium from Fordham University. I am not convinced the other name is overwhelmingly more common, at least once you except official publications. IIRC, COMMONNAME states that there are other criteria for choosing an article title (such as accuracy and avoiding confusion) and that it carries no greater weight than the others. James500 (talk) 03:58, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• WW always uses full names. Although sometimes it parenthesises names that aren't used, more usually it does not. The guidelines actually quite clearly state that full names should not be used just for disambiguation purposes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:16, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• "Not advised" implies an element of discretion and does not mean "forbidden", and even that is qualified by "not commonly" which I construe as meaning "almost never". And it says nothing about accuracy. The fact a particular source always uses full names doesn't seem to me to affect its weight. I think it preferable, unless some other name is obviously much more common, to use the full name than to carry out a potentially very difficult, if not impossible, statistical analysis of which name is used most. James500 (talk) 10:57, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Nothing is forbidden. This is Wikipedia. However, you will find that consensus is very much not to use middle names unless they are clearly used other than in an encyclopaedia of biography which obviously uses them. This has been decided over the course of numerous RM discussions and you will find that if you move the article it will very rapidly be moved back unless you can find sources that clearly show he is referred to by his full name in everyday usage as opposed to official usage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:58, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. While the article doesn't say it, he was also chairman of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre and has held various other significant posts, which I think push him over the notability bar. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:23, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. He has held or holds a number of important board level positions as shown on this page and has an entry in A & C Black's Who's Who, and I believe he is notable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and (possibly) rewrite - I think this individual is probably notable, but the current article and its history cannot be kept. The current version appears to be largely copied from this source. Previous versions also contain apparent copyvio - compare this version with this source, for example. I don't see evidence that these sources have been appropriately licensed for reuse. As far as I can tell, there is some degree of copyvio going back to the first revision, although it was less blatant then. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:57, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Previously kept from an AfD in 2008, but frankly, I have no idea how (that was a series of some of the weakest keeps I've ever seen.) The article remains essentially as it did then; showing precisely 0 evidence of this pinball table being notable, and nor does a Google search; all you can validate is that it exists, bar one Corvette Online piece - which, although in-depth, is hardly a great case for there being notability here, because Corvette Online will cover anything Corvette related.

Organizations whose activities are local in scope (e.g., a school or club) can be considered notable if there is substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area. Where coverage is only local in scope, consider adding a section on the organization to an article on the organization's local area instead." - there are ten different sources which confirm it's notability, which also show "wide spread coverage", and importance.

• Question - is an English hamlet "legally recognized" under WP:GEOLAND #1 ? If not, merge to Assington. Kraxler (talk) 14:53, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kraxler: I'm not from the UK, but I think it depends on potential content. A hamlet of 30 houses/buildings could support its own article since England has so many historic buildings and records. A hamlet that was mentioned in the Domesday book would be notable for example. This hamlet seems to have withered away to about four structures, based upon my Google Maps snooping, and was never prominent enough to be noted much. —Мандичка^YO 😜 10:17, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. The question is a rather technical one. Under WP:GEOLAND any "legally recognized" inhabitated place has a legal wiki-right to have it's own article. I think a hamlet is a "de facto" place, while "legally recognized" places in England begin at town or city level but I don't live in England either, so I wouldn't know. Kraxler (talk) 13:15, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm not sure if hamlets are legally recognized. Hamlet (place)#United Kingdom says they have no "legal definition" but I'm not sure about the recognition part. I would guess as far as WP is concrened, they are equivalent to neighborhoods, and would need to meet GNG. I know I've seen good articles on hamlets though, so I'm guessing GNG applies. —Мандичка^YO 😜 23:56, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I've already merged the relevant info. There doesn't seem to be any support or argument to keep this article. I'm just going to boldly redirect it. —Мандичка^YO 😜 03:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• New close as a redirect -- There is no legal definition of or status for a hamlet in England. In some areas there are townships, but they are not necesarily notable. The result of Wikimandia's merger is that e now just have a redirect. that is the appropriate outcome. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:10, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. There was a ten-minute radio interview on the canadian version of NPR, which I think has not yet been mentioned.[15] Charity-benefit-cinema in 2014 for the entity.[16] There was a burst of WP:NOTEWORTHY mentions in protest of a poor remake-movie.[17][18][19] This is the Toronto Star, not sure if it is the same as the ones mentioned above, which covers the first recipient of a new program the charity introduced.[20][21] Same story, mentions two visits/surgeries were needed in 2011/2012.[22] Related story with mention of the big event, about financing such surgeries.[23] Maybe-WP:noteworthy mention as part of the obit of one of the senior advisors to the charity, but title of page says this was paid obit, so maybe does not count as wp:rs.[24] Counting the radio-interview, and glomming together the toronto star articles, we have a couple sources with decent depth. Does the charity-benefit-theater with proceeds going to Transforming Faces count? Kinda sorta. The burst of Cavendish-the-villian-related coverage has little depth, but does show that the charity is not ignored by the press, when something relevant arises. Seems like a case where notability is unclear, and maybe merging-n-redirect into a more generic parent article is the way WP:FAILN suggests... but which article would it be a subsection within? Cleft palate charity and facial reconstruction charity do not exist; maybe medical charities for children? Merging the content into a more-highly-trafficked generic article will also help cut down on puffery and WP:SPIP, methinks, but I don't know what the generic article might be, if so. We do have some in-depth coverage, so deletion/userfication seems the wrong way to go, per WP:PRESERVE. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 19:41, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Week keep The Toronto Star article previously mentioned positively in a delete rationale is one of the two sources I see reaching WP:ORG, the other is the ParentsCanada article. I say weak, because the Toronto Star articles URL check at the bottom gives me a bit of pause about the neutrality of the article, but the Toronto Star is IME a pretty reliable source, and ParentsCanada appears to be a less known source, but a published magazine with an editorial process. But I think it's just past the bar. --j⚛e decker^talk 23:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bombard. I was busy with other things, so I thought I'd just dump as many refs as I could find and let others sort out the good ones. There are plenty for the article to pass GNG. Being promotional is not a good AfD rationale. Strip it down to a single lead sentence if you want and add the 4 best refs and that alone should be enough for it to pass GNG. Anna F remote (talk) 00:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing among the refs is good enough to pass WP:GNG, it's directory listings, trivial mentions, press releases, dependent sources, and a very few pieces of very restricted local routine coverage. WP:PROMO is one of the best AfD rationales, it's not a guideline, it's Wiki policy, it says: "Those promoting causes or events...even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so."

• Keep. Google scholar shows 7 publications with over 100 citations each (all I believe by the subject) and an h-index of 22, enough to show significant contributions to the subject and I think enough to pass WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As per Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics, citation metrics alone, let alone citation metrics from Google, are probably not sufficient to establish notability. In addition, the policy does not give any numeric value for highly cited -- which is frustrating. I looked at some well-known scientists, and their ground-breaking articles are cited in the thousands or tens of thousands of times, not the hundreds. [26], [27]. From my reading, it looks like this person is primarily known for having developed a markup language, but he did that with a group of scholars at Stanford, so it's hard to know what his contribution was. One of his co-authors on that project has documents that have been cited more than 4K times, and journal articles cited in the high three digits, as a comparison.[28]. I think this is less than a slam-dunk, and don't see anything extraordinary about this researcher. This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. LaMona (talk) 19:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm seeing some quite possible wp:COI due to the preponderance of SPA's on both the Pinheiro and Provenance Markup Language pages, including User:Pp3223. LaMona (talk) 19:36, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. User:LaMona seems to be reading Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics in a sense pretty much contrary to what I read it as saying. It fairly clearly accepts citation metrics as an admittedly somewhat imperfect method of establishing notability through measuring academic impact and is mainly concerned with allowing for these imperfections - for instance, taking account of differing expected citation rates in different subjects and, where these rates are low, supplementing or replacing them by other methods of measuring impact. What seems to be the general consensus does not expect citation rates to be at the astronomical levels that User:LaMona cites, but rather at the kind of level where a beginning postgraduate in a related subject at an institution without direct connections with the academic concerned might be expected to come across mentions of them. In this case, I note that the subject of the article actually seems to have slightly higher citation rates than any of the most recent Fields Medallists - and, while I would expect slightly higher citation rates in computer science than in mathematics, I am still inclined to agree with User:David Eppstein that the subject's rates are still at least adequate for notability. Having said that, I do share User:LaMona's concerns about WP:COI - the article as it stands is somewhat over-promotional and, together with the creator's username, this does suggest the possibility of WP:AUTOBIO.

Although Variation 25.2 has made some edits to try and cut down the promotional content, this still fails WP:CORPDEPTH and should be deleted. agtx 17:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• STRONG Delete Content is not encyclopedic, advertising reverted - article is unsourced, no notability established. The "no mexicans" comment in the # of employees section is particularly troublesome. A four year old company with 22 employees does not meet WP:GNG Scr★pIron^IV 20:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete although this might be notable, there has been no significant non-promotional material added to this article during its lifetime. Even the background information on the proprietor is of dubious relevance. I worry that it will always be a stub or continually reverting to promotional junk.Lucas559 (talk) 01:43, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete This could/should have been speedy deleted as Promo. Unreferenced and with an unacceptable tone for an encyclopedia.Peter Rehse (talk) 05:48, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Hello all, In view of the problems that were presented in the article, I wrote my own article on the subject which I hope will meet the requirements professions. let me know what you think! thank you Eytankey (talk) 17:00, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article was a copy and paste from Draft:Medford knife And tool whose submission was declined for the same issues with the exception that this one at least has references. It is still heavily promotional and written in POV way - BUT far better than the article it replaced. I am changing my vote from Speedy delete to plain delete and am hoping that further edits will allow me to change my mind once again.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:18, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Seriously not a pass for WP:CORP. Depends on far too many primary and/or unreliable sources. Fiddle Faddle 14:50, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment disagree, how well are you familiar with the sources that you can determine that they are unreliable? Eytankey (talk) 16:11, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Note that we now also have Medford knife And tool as an article, and in far better shape than the one we are discussing here Fiddle Faddle 21:33, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unacceptable work around - gaming the system and is actually not that different in content with the article being discussed here. More to the point is the edit summaries state that it was an accepted version which is not the case. I am putting the article up for Db-same speedy deletion - any improvements should be done to this article at the very least to maintain edit history.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:53, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was probably accidental acceptance, performed by a very new reviewer, albeit an experienced editor. Fiddle Faddle 21:56, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are probably right. I have interacted with User:Mike Searson from way back and don't expect that behaviour from him on purpose. His clean-up of the And version should be applied to this article.Peter Rehse (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

response posted User:Mike Searson clean up on this page, I think It is fine, and we can end this saga. I understand the importance of refs but the cold weapons is not as rich in refs as middle eastern history (for example)...let us start with that, and with the wiki blade project we will add more custom cold weapons makers to the list like RMJ, fulvio del tin ect. Eytankey (talk) 22:25, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD debate still needs to run its course considering the number of comments generated. My main objections have been addressed so I am removing (not switching to keep) my delete vote. I would still like to see something in the article which speaks to notability (ie. why is the company special).Peter Rehse (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep 1. Whoever looks at the issue of deletion should take attention that the original article has been replaced; Entire text of whoever wrote the initial article originally replaced by my text and therefore one must consider that and ignore the comments before the article update as they relate to the old text.

2. This company is unique, but the refs for that are not discuss what was considered proper source; Without getting into what is considered proper source of the current era and in the field of cold weapons, there is room for many cold weapons firms Wikipedia. It is THE encyclopedia, and there is room for a wide range of fields as long as they are properly documented. Its uniqueness - noted - has been removed because it is considered to be promotional Eytankey (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did not know that there was an existing article or that it was up for deletion (found out when someone took my name in vain over here!). Early this week, someone pinged me with a request to look at a Draft and having some area of expertise in the area, I cleaned it up, used reliable sources and stripped out what could be considered by some as advertorial terms. It passed muster to me, this is a notable up and coming company in the knife industry that has received a fair amount of coverage.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 23:07, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article has been improved and reliable neutral third party sources have been added.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 23:07, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request: please remove those tags form the article: ; the article is not orphan since I posted new version at 29 July, It has been categorized. thank you Eytankey (talk) 06:30, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys I know everyone likes to be smart and wax rhapsodic and all but frankly I'm a bit taken aback by the level of somewhat arbitrary critique. In fact I think much of what has been leveled against this post is literarily and technically accurate, but not in keeping with latitude afforded so many other entries. I have really never used Wiki. for anything but after reading the critique leveled here I searched and parused several other listings in my industry. All I can say is that the listing or post here is generally on par with the others in the industry. As a company? The work we have done for "NSW" is discreet and I have always maintained that discretion. We are listed in several books ranging from CIA Tell-All's and smoke jumpers survival accounts to Brandon Webb's last book as a "company that makes knives that should be part of every war-fighter's kit." (Somewhat paraphrased) We are screen credited on the movie "Phantom" for providing knives and featured in magazines and printed publication from all over the planet...never 1 single advertisement as of today. In our 5 year history we have made 2 dagger models for the guys who neutralized Bin Laden, machetes for TraDet, have an official USMC approved EOD Knife/tool like nothing in the industry and actually make 100% of our knives in house. This year we will make over 10,000 knives and are significantly larger than many of the subjects (companies) listed here. Again, no advertising ever. Not sure how exactly you think we should be "more significant or notable." I admire your efforts to remain authentic and credible but I think it's only fair to judge this post, or listing or article or entry or whatever you call it, with the same latitude afforded many of the entries I have just recently looked at. On an intellectual note: ANY information about ANY COMPANY can be seen as "promotional" as opposed to "informative." Not true with many most of the subjects on Wiki. but our company is a force in the industry. The author in this case makes no grand claims or sales pitches about our company. He presents facts and has apparently done a decent bit of homework and revision to comply with your feedback. He has contacted me for additional source material and I have had my staff help him as requested. I would encourage you take a fresh look, less as you would an entry on an historical figure, but rather like other more and less prominent companies currently bless by approval! :) I appreciate the time you ALL have spent keepin' it real! Cheers. Greg Medford — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1knifemaker (talk • contribs) 03:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, due to a lack of indpendent coverage in reliable third-party sources. This doesn't mean that the company doesn't exist, doesn't mean that their products aren't of a high quality, and doesn't mean that those involved aren't good people. But we can't write a neutral article on the company without neutral sources to call upon. As far as articles on other companies in the same industry goes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS would seem to apply. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:40, 2 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]

comment Excuse me, but I feel that there are double standards regarding the present article ; 1. Seem that this article which describes a knives company required to prove the existence and operations of the company as if it were a master work of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict . 2. The Article got objective sources - plain and simple ! Did not take a genius to figure it out . 3. The other pages of similar companies do not meet the standards of the reviews I encounter them - so please... 4. I ​​reject outright the claim that most subjects that do not have enough " respected " resources it 's not worth mentioning; This contradicts the principle of just about any curiosity and innovation. 5. sorry if anyone got hurt from what I wrote, this is my first experience with WIKIPEDIA and I feel like I have to fight a swarm of intellectuals just to mention that MKT exists.

• Weak keep Short films rarely meet WP:NF, but admittedly they sometimes do. WP:BEFORE shows this one to be getting some coverage due to its filmmaker and it starring Kawooya Malcolm (the real-life name of Ugandan popular rap artist MalX). The format issues that brought this to AFD were easy to fix and I am looking into sourcing... and I hold hope. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 15:21, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
