Delete as promotion: Its internal claims to notability are that S&P recognizes it (quelle surprize!) and that a group of banker-lawyers gave it a "good chap" award. Hithladaeus (talk) 18:20, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
The subject has received significant coverage from high quality, well-respected finance publications like Reuters, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Forbes. According to Bloomberg Businessweekhere, in October 2014 the company was "an alternative asset manager with $5.6 billion under management". I reviewed the Wikipedia article, and it appears neutrally written to me. This article should not be deleted. Cunard (talk) 04:34, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep In my experiences, right around 100 employees is where most companies start to attract good enough source material to start a stub and so we can reasonably question the notability of most orgs around that size. In this case, there are multiple bylined press articles in established national level publications where the company is the subject of the article[1][2] and a few weaker sources as well that are usable. I did some anti-promotional trimming, but I don't think it was promotional enough to be identified as spam and warrant deletion. CorporateM (Talk) 06:58, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
SPEEDY DELETE - if you look at what I accepted and what the article looks like now, it's pretty obvious that the editor is attempting to use Wikipedia to lend notability and puffery to a small company whose notability lies in having its IPO go wrong. And THAT information has been redacted, again. EBY (talk) 14:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And that there was an earlier version of the article that you found acceptable when you reviewed it at WP:AFC strongly indicates that you are voting delete based on surmountable issues. If the current version of the article was "clear spam" (which it is not), then it could be reverted back to the version you found acceptable.
Keep - per User:Cunard, it clearly meets WP:GNG. Yes, it needs a cleanup to remove advertorial content, but it's had a lot of coverage in reliable sources. mikeman67 (talk) 20:49, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Sure, it definitely needs a cleanup, particularly a good copy edit in some parts, but it is certainly notable enough. Not sure where the promotional accusations are coming from... -PaxVerbum06:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article on a subject of questionable notability, largely not supported by the given references. The only detailed profile in a reliable source I could find is this Le Monde article, which basically says the scholarly community has largely ignored her discovery. That's consistent with Google Scholar which shows a single citation. Coverage of Gershman as an artist, as opposed to an art historian, is little better and largely confined to blogs or reproductions of her organization's profile. Huon (talk) 16:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This Zhenya Gershman article is accurately reflecting Gershman as an artist and should not be deleted. Her work is in major public and private art collections and has been on display in numerous international Art Fairs and art complex Bergamot Station, and has been extensively covered by Huffington Post, Monsters and Critics, Arte Al Limite, Jewish Journal, Hollywood Today, Campus Circle to name a few sources. Her work as an art historian is evidenced by her publications in Arion journal for Classics published by Boston University and was featured by Le Monde. She has since, presented her Rembrandt research in academic conferences including AANS Grand Rapids and up-coming conference at Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sini zaichik (talk • contribs) 16:32, 23 May 2015 (UTC) — Sini zaichik (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

KeepArticle is true, not promotional, and should not be deleted. The citations provide background to Gershman as a renowned artist with abundant 3rd party evidence. Gershman's published research will be presented at an international conference in Paris in May 2015.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremy chessman (talk • contribs) — Jeremy chessman (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete - I'm inclined to delete simply because she hasn't received solid, significant and notable coverage as shown here, here, a browser search found some of the same results, highbeam found two results and nothing at thefreelibrary. Scholar found a few results but nothing that actually looks significant. If she were notable, I would think she could get better and a little more major news coverage than Jewish Journal and Huffington Post. SwisterTwistertalk23:16, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The citation style is messed up, but I agree she meets GNG based on the links at the article now, and the documentary. Sources repeatedly refer to her as "renowned" (supported by this). She's not really an "official" art historian or academic but an artist and "independent scholar." Also, as far as the Le Monde article, I don't think it is as dismissive as nominator portrays ("basically says the scholarly community has largely ignored her discovery", no that's not what it basically says) and I find this annoys me. I would hope this does not influence anyone's vote. Having a good-size feature in Le Monde on your Rembrandt theory is no small feat. What this article basically says is, "Artist believes she has spotted Rembrandt painted into his painting at the Hermitage. Not that rare, as he did this often, and Gershman assumes it has been already discussed, only to discover it has not. Director of the Getty Museum, a noted Rembrandt restorer, is intrigued and encourages her to write an article. Other artist publicly supports this theory. So why hasn't it been widely discussed among art experts? Well, there is the Rembrandt Research Project, which has jokingly been called the Rembrandt Mafia, which dominate this area of research. We have to admit it's true, in general art experts/historians detest "amateurs" ie regular artists. In summary, isn't a testimony of great art the many interpretations it brings?" (Artist slams "the Rembrandt mafia" here, nothing to do with Gershman.) Regardless, ongoing coverage of her as an artist is sufficient to meet GNG. —МандичкаYO 😜 00:03, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Based on everyone's input I rephrased the article: In addition to her artistic career, Gershman is an independent scholar and a museum educator. Gershman's discovery of a hidden Rembrandt self-portrait in his painting Danaë was published in the classics journal Arion, Boston University and covered in France’s Le Monde newspaper[4].
I added additional references. Including citing her work at the Getty, US NEWS REPORT, and adding a source for a documentary film about her artwork. Thank you everyone for the comments and especially to Wikimandia.Jon Deen (talk) 02:05, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The HuffPo coverage - all of it, as far as I can tell - is by LuxEco Living. Gershman is a LuxEco Living contributor. I rather doubt that can be considered independent coverage of her. The US News piece is by the executive producers of the documentary about Gershman, not an independent review. This looks like another independent source until you notice it's submitted by Project AWE, which in effect is Gershman. There are some sources that look like reliable third-party sources at a glance, but few withstand closer scrutiny. I'd say the most telling is the "independent scholar" piece Мандичка brought up; that argues she has "convincingly" demonstrated several fringe theories such as that Rembrandt was a Freemason or that "his name is not what scholars think!" I don't think it's a reliable source, but it shows how far from the academic mainstream Gershman's historical work is. Huon (talk) 10:55, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In response to talk - even if you disregard Huffington Post entries (which I think is unfair) we are still left with Le Monde discussing Gershman's work on Rembrandt, Hollywood Today featuring Gershman's portrait of Bruce Springsteen for the Grammys!, and the documentary film dedicated to her work, Russian RIA Novosti discussing her family and exhibition background, among many other relevant sources. Her work as an INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR is to take on the mainstream -- that does not devalue it and is supported as can be seen by the Academia as she is presenting at one of France's most prestigious academic venue Bibliotheque Nationale as talked about 3rd party Monster's and Critics (no affiliations there!). I don't think this is to be ignored!Jon Deen (talk) 12:19, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
CommentМандичка you brought up some great points. To add, though the figure in the Rembrandt's Danaee was obvious no one was able to identify it correctly until Gershman's discovery published by Arion, Boston University. Instead the Rembrandt scholars have confused this figure to be an "old maid" not only being wrong in the identification of a subject but even the attribution of gender! As you accurately quoted, Le Monde points out the "Rembrandt Mafia" wants to hold-on to how they choose to define Rembrandt. Le Monde article shows that Gershman is not afraid to challenge this, and did receive encouragement from David Bomford, then acting director of The J. Paul Getty Museum and one of world's most important Rembrandt conservators.Jon Deen (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with (Мандичка) and (talk). In addition I found a 3-part TV documentary featuring Gershman's career: ICN TV. I strongly believe that Zhenya Gershman article meets GNG based on the links at the article provided now, and the added TV and documentary. As shown, numerous sources repeatedly refer to her as "renowned" and the fact that her discovery was featured by Le Monde speaks volumes in favor of her notability. Jeremy chessman (talk) 15:25, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In Gershman's favor of notability as an artist (in addition to all mentioned above):
Comment I must point out that Zhenya Gershman Article is NOT promotional and does NOT "reproduce" her organization's profile. The two vary in information though obviously there is nominal overlap since it is the same subject! Zhenya Gershman article does not promote her organization, instead it sates objectively her contributions to the field of art that are undeniable, unless one objects to her under the cover of disliking Women, Russians, Jews, or individuals supporting LGBT cause. Jon Deen (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not yet notable, either as WP:PROF or WP:CREATIVE: The Prof part is clear enough--she has one paper on a single picture. That's a good start to building a career, but it does not rise to the extent of being an authority on Rembrandt. When she publishes an academic monograph on him , then ehe will meet WP:PROF. As for being an artist, she does not yet have a painting in a major museum. The articles says she is going to a portrait in a new museum that is scheduled to open in 2017. I do not know if the museum will or will not be considered a major museum, , but if it is, she'll be notable by WP:CREATIVE in 2017. Notability would therefore seem to depend on the publicity for the short film, The Model's Artist. A major motion picture about someone can result in notability. This is a minor motion picture without a WP article. Acting in it, even in the central role, is not notability. So what the actual news stories are about is not things we consider notability, and the external links are promotional fluff. DGG ( talk ) 17:31, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
weak delete - Not sure if this is a case of TOOSOON or simply a non-notable individual, but half the current references are press-release-style single-paragraph notices, and I'm finding similar further-sourcing issues as per SwisterTwister. Would be willing to change my opinion but only if some rock-solid refs are found. Primefac (talk) 16:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
half the current references are press-release-style single-paragraph notices – what about the other half?
Cunard, I managed to miss the latter two links you posted. I'm still on the fence, but I will rescind my del "vote" for now. Primefac (talk) 22:46, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your refreshing honesty. Too many editors would refuse to admit that they hadn't reviewed all of the sources posted in the AfD. Cunard (talk) 03:16, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Le Monde, The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, and Arteallimite are "rock-solid refs" that provide the "significant coverage" in reliable sources required by Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Why do you disagree? (talk) 04:04, 4 June 2015 (UTC)"
(copied from above to continue debate)Jon Deen (talk) 17:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unfortunately, since she seems to be a nice girl and doing some good art, but, DGG sums it up nicely here. The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles and Le Monde may be RS, but the former is published in her hometown (biased towards minor local celebrities, after all they have to fill their pages somehow) and the latter has no in-depth coverage (exactly one sentence about her), just reports on her sensational discovery. Sorry. Kraxler (talk) 15:33, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
CommentKraxler is not correct, accusing the Jewish journal of bias inappropriately and therefore ignoring important coverage of Gershman. The Le Monde article, incidentally, is not one sentence but a full feature dedicated to Gershman and her discovery.Jeremy chessman (talk), 11 June 2015 (UTC)
Comment: If she is an fine artist, then it would be normal to include information about where she studied, who she studied with, where she exhibited (galleries, museums), and whether or not her teacher or mentor was a notable artist.Simile (talk) 05:08, 18 June 2015 (UTC)SIMS[reply]

This article was written by user Ampmusicrecords (talk·contribs), the company for which he is a producer. COI is not a reason for deletion, but it is a reason to look hard at the evidence for notability, and I don't see it. The article is referenced only to his own and the company's sites, and does not present any claim that would meet WP:MUSICBIO. Searches are complicated by other people with the same name. There is a page at All about jazz, but entries on that site appear to be user-generated. There are a lot of social-network references, but I do not find any of the substantial, independent comment about him necessary to establish Wikipedia:Notability. JohnCD (talk) 21:42, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Extensive searching turned up a single independent source, which has one paragraph about his debut album here (in Norwegian). If he's the same 34-year old Swedish Anders Thorén who worked as wine director for a Pasadena restaurant at the time he was studying in that city, then we could add that fact, sourced to LA.com. So far a minor artist on a minor label, with no evidence of the accomplishments or coverage to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Worldbruce (talk) 06:46, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the "core tools" in the North American automotive industry, as discussed here. The problem with the article is that the only sources for this seem to be primary, like the one I linked which actually sells certifications in these "core tools." Sammy1339 (talk) 21:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - "Core Tools" is apparently a certification pushed by this Automotive Industry Action Group. This related article - Advanced product quality planning is troubling also - you can see all the non-list content from Core tools was copy/pasted right from it. The title should imply a more generic content but it's all about AIAG. I think both are created to promote the company. —МандичкаYO 😜 22:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Overall consensus is for article retention, based upon the subject having received enough significant coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:N. North America100022:41, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Lack of notability. The article is just his CV or a similar piece of advertisement, with links to institutions he is connected to. There is a source praising him, but there are a blog post, which reads more like advertising. The NY Times article is neither about his work, nor about him. It is just about how psychoanalysts market themselves and sell their services, and citing Sulkowicz of a psychoanalyst who "treats" his patiences through e-mail.
Article was already deleted once by the first AfD. The 2nd AfD also got enough discussion to generate consensus (delete too).
Yes, I agree with that. I was too speedy when putting the tag of speedy deletion. A normal AfD would be enough, I suppose. Abaget (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails GNG; fails WP:PROF; WP:ACADEMIC. He is definitely accomplished but has not received significant, in-depth coverage. Less said about his daughter the better.

Keep There is an interview in Psychiatric Times, a Q.and A. in the New York Times - which presumably picked him as the expert to interview precisely because he is a notable psychiatrist, the bio Bloomberg published when he became a columnist, the fact that he was a columnist for Fast Company, and a lot, a really significant number, of authors and journalists who go to him for quotes and insight, quoting him at length, with brief descriptors. Institutions also turn to him - and the fact that they do gets coverage [3]. It's adds up to a profile high enough to constitute notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:17, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing GNG and SCHOLAR. He's often cited for a brief quote here and there, but there's nothing in any detail about him in the sources. (I am unable to read all the Financial Times sources because they limit you to 3/day without a subscription, but the three I read were all of this type - him being consulted for one short statement.) Interviews, Q&A's, and him writing a few articles are not enough for notability - those are all primary. The New Yorker source mentioned by E.M.Gregory is also a passing mention. --Sammy1339 (talk) 15:15, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. (changed vote) I was unaware of the following sources mentioned in the deletion review: [4], [5], [6], [7]. Altogether it's enough for notability. --Sammy1339 (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think the criteria WP:ACADEMIC is borderline but just this side of notable, and he does meet WP:GNG. There are quite a few reliable and independent sources.PaxVerbum05:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG (no indication that local enterprise group/centre has had significant coverage beyond very limited refs provided). Also wouldn't appear to meet WP:NONPROFIT (non-profit groups are generally considered non-notable unless national/international in scope). In fact, would seem to be a largely "run of the mill" business park. (WP:ROTM would seem to my read to suggest that business or industrial parks are not inherently notable). Further, beyond concerns with possible WP:COI/WP:PROMO motivations for original creation, while the copyvio issues from previous revision are addressed, WP:CLOP issues still remain. (The content previously just copy/pasted from subject website have been modified only slightly). Guliolopez (talk) 18:53, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Hi, I am not a contributor to Wikipedia, but in my job I use it to source information on a regular basis. I registered to make a point in relation to 'Action Tuam'. I note the page is marked for possible deletion. I do not understand the issues, but I find it strange that a bona fide voluntary organisation with a successful 25 year track record in promoting a region of 350,000 population (with no self interest) would not be worthy of inclusion. Wereras, almost every County Councillor (the lowest level local representative) are included, most for self promotion. I feel there is an imbalance here. I strongly urge you to include the page as it is extremely useful information to a lot of people and of considerable interest to those in the West of Ireland. Just making the point.... Yours... JR. JoeRyan53 (talk) 19:36, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, point taken on 'two wrongs'. You make a great point and you are right.
IMO groups like Action Tuam provide a vital service, albeit at a regional level and within a small country like Ireland.
However, Wikipedia could be the channel for others around the globe to learn from their experiences.
This would make Wiki a wonderful source of information on real life experience.
Yours... JR. JoeRyan53 (talk) 15:04, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When I added the page for Action Tuam, my motivation was to highlight the work the group do, not to promote their services. Nobody in Action Tuam knew I was doing this. Action Tuam do not use the internet to promote their services. Their website is pretty basic (no blog) and the social media activity appears to be minimal. JR makes a good point in that Wikipedia is an excellent vehicle to document the work of a group with 25 years of serving the West of Ireland. Maybe others could learn from their experience.
Poshpaddy (talk) 08:49, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. RE: "JR makes a good point" - I don't doubt you guys will have more than that opinion in common. RE: "motivation was to highlight the work the group do" - promoting stuff (whether there's an association or not) is not what Wikipedia is about. RE: "Maybe others could learn from their experience". Again, it isn't a goal of the project to "inspire" other community groups or act as a forum or similar for such groups. RE: "Their website is pretty basic" - I'm sure the company that developed it (with which - by own admission - you are familiar) tried their best with it. I just wonder whether there are better avenues open to the relevant parties to PROMOTE it. (Coz this project ain't the place.) Guliolopez (talk) 13:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Tuam Action goes beyond a local non-profit, it is clearly a regional organisation serving a number of counties in the Mid-West of Ireland. A search of media records from the 1980s and early 1990s details considerable coverage in national press surrounding the closure of the Greencore sugar beat factory in north Galway - I cited a front page article from the Irish Independent. The organisation may be a shadow of it's former self, however it clearly achieved notability in the 1980s & 1990s and as notability is permanent, there is a place for the page under current WP guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reggiegal (talk • contribs) 23:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's a few "clearly"s in there that are perhaps a little clearer to others than to me. Yes - the organisation has its roots in the late 1980s (when Greencore committed a few million to the set-up of the organisation - a chunk of which went towards the setup of the enterprise park). But if there is evidence that it "clearly achieved notability" in the 80s, I'm not finding/seeing it. (Yes, there are mentions of the business park in newspapers and the like, but one would probably expect that for pretty much any business park - which is where WP:ROTM would normally come in). Perhaps if someone might share that "frontpage Indo/Newspaper report" mentioned? Is there something in that that confirms notability beyond ROTM? I don't see anything especially notable in the article currently - however, as the Indo report mentioned (which apparently contributes something significant to notability) doesn't seem to be linked in the article itself, then perhaps I'm missing something. Can you share something of or from the frontpage news report? Guliolopez (talk) 00:21, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Details from the front page of the Irish Independent are correctly cited, nip down to your local library to check for yourself if you feel the need to read the content. When you nominated the AfD you asked for evidence of notability to be cited, this was done. Stop changing the goalposts. I have demonstrated that the organisation achieved notability in the 1980s, front of a national newspaper is more than sufficient. It took me all of 30 seconds to locate the story. If you don't have the tools to do a comprehensive search perhaps stop wasting peoples' time nominating AfDs. Reggiegal (talk02:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reply- Hi. You mention that "details from the front page of the Irish Independent are correctly cited". Again, I must be missing something, but can you tell me where they are cited please? Nothing was added by you (or any other editor) to the Action Tuam article or to this discussion that (as far as I can see) links or references an Irish Independent article. I would be delighted to try and source the relevant article, but it wouldn't normally be reasonable to expect anyone to search through the ~7000 issues of the Irish Independent since the late 1980s looking for whatever "front page article" another editor might have in mind. I wouldn't consider it to be a "shift of goalposts" to ask for at least some idea of where to verify a cite that apparently builds to originally highlighted issue (that the subject/article wouldn't appear to meet WP:GNG for coverage.) Without wishing to seem flippant, if we're using football/newspaper metaphors, perhaps a "spot the ball" competition is more appropriate - where there is no visible picture, but entrants are asked to guess which newspaper the image might be in. In any event, perhaps you are talking about this news article? If so, then I do note that it is a newspaper mention of the subject - but it is largely a passing reference (where Action Tuam isn't the primary subject of the newspaper article). This doesn't in itself demonstrate SIGCOV under the GNG. (Which is still the relevant goalpost - nothing has changed there) Guliolopez (talk) 09:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I guess this experience has not enhanced my views on the credibility of Wikipedia as a comprehensive source of information. Regarding having to prove notability, the credible press that cover business in Ireland are mostly subscription based (Irish Times, Business Post). The Red Tops are not into business issues. The 'project' should be about the inclusion of worthwhile information and not about questioning the integrity of those providing the information. Overall a disappointing experience and I would be slow to research another project. Poshpaddy (talk) 08:22, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- Apologies if it is felt that anyone's integrity was questioned. That wasn't the intent. (Certainly I can see how you may feel - given a recent suggestion that I was "wasting peoples' time nominating AfDs". However, it isn't entirely unreasonable (if done civily) for editors to point-out where key tenets of the project are not being followed. Guliolopez (talk) 09:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reply- Apology accepted. If "key tenets of the project are not being followed" a more welcoming approach might be to suggest the correct procedure, which might encourage others to contribute. Not everyone is familiar with the correct procedure and many will learn from their mistakes. For example, I am very familiar with over 1000 organisation in the non-profit sector in Ireland. Action Tuam is just one such case. Does my knowledge of those preclude me from suggesting their inclusion.? Many are wonderful organisations and certainly worthy of inclusion, but if I am accused of bias of 'promoting' them, then why bother. Poshpaddy (talk) 12:32, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Based on the news articles, this meets notability requirements. The article could possibly be expanded a bit using information in those articles (e.g. there is good stuff in [8] about renovating and selling space to local businesses). This would help explain its importance. LaMona (talk) 15:47, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - SNUGGUMS, what is the point of re-opening this AfD? It was a non-controversial redirect and an admin already redirected it. Obviously I thought I was being helpful in closing it because Just Chilling possibly forgot; you could have just reminded me of the rule I forgot about. Instead you've gone and reverted the redirect and re-applied the speedy delete template so some other admin has to do extra work! And all for possibly the STUPIDEST article of all time: Bunny with a pancake on its head. Is this really the best use of your time? —МандичкаYO 😜 00:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of the article is a goalkeeper, invited to play in the Chinese National team. I really don't feel the invitation is enough to pass WP:NFOOTY. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£17:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If she had been called up for a random game, then I would agree she would not be automatically notable. However, she is in the country's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, which I think is more than enough to confer notability on players. Number5717:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm fully aware that she fails WP:NFOOTY, which is why I didn't use that as a rationale for keeping the article. Try reading what I wrote again. Number5719:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, she does fail WP:NFOOTY, but given that she's in the World Cup squad, I think there is a strong case for WP:IAR; it's hardly as if she's non-notable. There's a high chance she passes GNG, but as most of the coverage of her is likely to be in Chinese, there's no way that I could find it. Number5719:52, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Number 57, FYI, I put her name in Chinese on her page - you can search for it and find all the articles. You can tell by the headlines if they are about her, and do Google Translate to get the jist/date etc. I think she does pass GNG based on what I saw earlier. If you think this article is heading toward delete and you need help, please let me know. —МандичкаYO 😜 20:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there shouldn't be a rush to delete anyone on the World Cup teams - we'll know shortly whether or not they'll play; I really don't think the same argument would be made for a men's player. Also there are quite a few articles about Zhao (being gorgeous doesn't hurt!) so it's not like she's a complete unknown; the material is available to create a credible bio. —МандичкаYO 😜 18:51, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If there are source that will make her notable on other topics, please add them. As you mentioned they are plenty of it please be so kind to add them as I am not able too understand Chinese. If the sources on the page are only about her football career, then she fail WP:NFOOTY. MbahGondrong (talk) 07:22, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just be patient. Whether or not this article should have been created—and I'm not assuming it should have been—there is absolutely, positively no reason that you can't hold off on a decision until the tournament is over. WP:NOTPAPER—the servers won't break if you wait. 24 hours after the tournament is over, or China is eliminated, or she plays, you'll get your answer, quick enough.

Comment:-- subject of the article fails WP:NFOOTY at the moment. been the part of two major tournament squads does not translate into passing WP:NFOOTY. She has to play for the teams to pass WP:NFOOTY and since she hasn't played yet, she clearly fails WP:NFOOTY. I incline to consider the article's deletion for now and when she plays for these teams, perhaps soon someone with no WP:COI, who knows how to write an encyclopedic articles will write about her here. She will be notable in the future or she will play in the 2015, Women's World Cup and therefore "will pass WP:NFOOTY " is usually not a valid argument at WP:AfDs and its not a valid reason to "Keep" articles on Wikipedia either. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£11:32, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - reserve keeper at the World Cup finals? If that isn't automatic notability, we need to fix our guidelines. In addition, the first game with Canada has massive coverage and viewership being the opening game of the World cup, with a massive TV audience, and setting a record for the number of people attending a Canadian national team game (male or female). The backup keeper is always going to be a bit different than other players. I have to wonder if there's some gender bias going on here, as the second best keeper in a nation of 1 billion people wouldn't be the subject of this discussion if they were male! Nfitz (talk) 18:51, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league, but does appear to pass GNG, even in non-Chinese sources, although this does appear to be because of her looks rather than footballing ability, there are a number of international sources commenting on here:
Comment - please refresh your knowledge of GNG. This trumps all other guidelines. She is a professional footballer who has received significant international coverage. Fenix down (talk) 18:25, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think you missed my point. I am not saying she fails WP:GNG, maybe she is notable because of her looks.

keep I notice that three of the players on the U.S. under-20 women's national team have wikipedia pages -- but they don't have a single international cap at the senior level nor have they played a single game in a professional league. How can you exclude a member of China's roster at the Women's World Cup -- but include American youth team members?

This page is about a proposed group of 10 CIA analysts to perform strategic analysis of Bin Laden, al-Qaeda and Islamic extremism. There is no official name to the unit and it never got off the ground. There are only a few mentions of the phrase "strategic assessments branch" in relation to the CIA and they are all based on one mention in the 9/11 Commission Report, page 342:
Though Deputy DCI John McLaughlin said to us that the cumulative output of the Counterterrorist Center (CTC) "dramatically eclipsed" any analysis that could have appeared in a fresh National Intelligence Estimate, he conceded that most of the work of the Center's 30- to 40-person analytic group dealt with collection issues.6 In late 2000, DCI George Tenet recognized the deficiency of strategic analysis against al Qaeda. To tackle the problem within the CTC he appointed a senior manager, who briefed him in March 2001 on "creating a strategic assessment capability." The CTC established a new strategic assessments branch during July 2001.The decision to add about ten analysts to this effort was seen as a major bureaucratic victory, but the CTC labored to find them. The new chief of this branch reported for duty on September 10, 2001.7
All mentions of the group are sourced to the 9/11 report.
The coincidental timing of the new chief starting on September 10, 2001 is probably the reason the article was created in the first place. The article's creator User:Frank Freeman also created a deleted article A Strategic Analyst on 9/11 (see User_talk:Frank_Freeman#AfD nomination of A Strategic Analyst On 9.2F11) which was about a disaster test exercise the National Reconnaissance Office scheduled for 9/11 that simulated a small jet hitting their headquarters. I took this text out of Strategic Assessments Branch here: [10].
Delete: It appears to be an unverifiable allegation written in the blink of an eye. The reference to Steve Coll is a reference to Coll's quotation of the 9/11 Commission. This initiative seems to be one of those fever-dream proposals that were made around 9/11/01 that were over before the nightmare of the massive overhaul of the Department of Homeland Security took place. So, unverifiable, except as a proposal, and surely not notable, since no one has been writing about this "branch" that didn't come into existence. Hithladaeus (talk) 00:27, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject satisfies neither the specific notability guideline for college football players per WP:NCOLLATH nor the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. To the extent the subject received any significant coverage, it was for the manner of his death, and not for his athletic achievements, and should be disqualified per WP:BIO1E.

Keep. Reviews fromWP:VG/RS-vetted Gamezebo, TouchArcade, Pocket Gamer, and 148Apps are sufficient to pass the general notability guideline. The other stuff (number of downloads from Google Play and coverage from unreliable YouTube hosts) has no bearing on this discussion—does it or does it not have reliable sources? It does.

Keep Why not? The game is notable enough, and like Svetislavs said, the game has over 1 million downloads on Google Play and has been featured on Annoying Orange multiple times, so I say we should keep it.
Weak Delete (no objection to Userfifaction though) - The "significant coverage in reliable sources" is getting there -- I'm just not seeing enough.

Article on an academic journal created by apparent COI editior (user name matches name of a co-editor-in-chief of the journal). De-PRODded by an IP tracing to the co-EICs home institution. Journal was established in 2005 under a different name (although for some unfathomable reason the COI editor insists on claiming that the journal was established only in 2013 - the journal website lists volumes back to 2005). However, neither under the old name, nor under the new one does this seem to be included in any selective database, nor are there any independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 12:56, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
CommentSpringer says "CURRENTLY NO ARTICLE PROCESSING FEES". Since this is an open access journal, it begs the question of the business model. My best guess is that it is a "special offer for launch", and there will be processing fees later on. That could be indirect proof of non-notability. Tigraan (talk) 12:29, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep. As the article says, it is the continuation of Genomics, society and politics, published since ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics; Centre for Society and Genomics (Nijmegen, Netherlands) since 2005. That it has been picked up by a commercial published and continues as an OA journal is quite unusual, and might make it significant. I doubt they will keep it without a publication charge indefinitely, but they might as a demonstration. Worldcat shows it in many hundreds of libraries, but many colleges now routinely add everything in DOAJ (Directory of open Access Journals) to their catalog, so that isn't a good criterion. Checking the pre cursor journal, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, & Columbia, all of which list only selectively, have not added it -- I check these, btw, because they're the nearest such libraries and show up on the first few screens of WorldCat when searched from NYC). Most Springer journals are notable. In the absence of an impact factor, one can check individual articles in the journal: a/c Google Scholar, the ones with the highest cites are 45, 41, 29, 21, , 17, which is pretty good for a new journal. But in this field, I'd hope for at least one article with over 100. DGG ( talk ) 04:08, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot see how this journal meet the criteria of WP:JOURNALCRIT. I don't think it has been given any sort of citation index, nor has it been cited by any other conventional media as an expert source.

No evidence of notability. There is almost no reliable source coverage of her save for some passing mentions. [17][18] The vast majority of coverage of her that does exist is social media sites or unreliable fan sites. The RS coverage that does exist doesn't appear to be enough to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG.

The result was delete. The delete arguments based on the notability guidelines are stronger than the keep arguments that mostly are not based on the current guidelines. With Nigeria knocked out of the World Cup the argument to wait no longer has any force. Davewild (talk) 17:52, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being in a national squad for the World Cup Finals is not enough to pass WP:NFOOTY until she plays in the World Cup Final. She only pass WP:CSD#A7 for now as a member of the team. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£05:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm fully aware that she fails WP:NFOOTY, which is why I didn't use that as a rationale for keeping the article. Try reading what I wrote again. Number5719:19, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Honestly what ever happens to this page is fine with me. It was a dumb mistake on my end not noticing she had not made a cap yet for the squad. Da Drewster (talk) 19:04, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Even disregarding her presence in the World Cup finals squad, there are some sources out there; interview regarding her callup to the Africa Women's Championship last year is one I can find pretty easily. This means she was in the squad for two fairly major tournaments (even if the AWC isn't that large on the international scale), so common sense says we should have a basic article. Lukeno94(tell Luke off here)20:49, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Common sense says we should have a basic article if she plays for the teams. She only featured in her side’s 2-1 home (Oshogbo Queens) win over Rivers Angels and that has nothing to do with the National team, I mean the Falcon. She said ""I’m grateful to coach Okon for inviting me and I promise not to disappoint. I also want to thank my teammates for their supports. Nigerians should expect a better me because I am going to give my best.". She further said "It’s great news for me, meaning I am doing well in the local league. I now have a chance to compete with my mentor [Precious] Dede." According to the source, meaning she only plays in the local league, which also makes her to fails WP:NFOOTY. The source does not says she had played rather it says, she was call-up to play. If you can point out a single source that says she has played for the Falcon, Nigeria National Team or its equivalent, I will gladly incline to "Keep". Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£05:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of that. However, given that there is one source on her that I found easily, I don't see the point in deleting this at this point. She's been the part of two major tournament squads as well, which is noteworthy even if she is yet to play. Lukeno94(tell Luke off here)11:12, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just be patient. Whether or not this article should have been created—and I'm not assuming it should have been—there is absolutely, positively no reason that you can't hold off on a decision until the tournament is over. WP:NOTPAPER—the servers won't break if you wait. 24 hours after the tournament is over, or her squad is eliminated, or she plays, you'll get your answer, quick enough.

Comment - Since being on the world cup squad isn't enough i'll have to agree with StevenJ81. We should know by the end of the month and maybe even in a few days when the group stage ends. Until then I think we should just wait. Da Drewster (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: subject of the article fails WP:NFOOTY at the moment. been the part of two major tournament squads does not translate into passing WP:NFOOTY. She has to play for the teams to pass WP:NFOOTY and since she hasn't played yet, she clearly fails WP:NFOOTY. I incline to consider the article's deletion for now and when she plays for these teams, perhaps soon someone with no WP:COI, who knows how to write an encyclopedic articles will write about her here. She will be notable in the future or she will play in the 2015, Women's World Cup and therefore "will pass WP:NFOOTY" is usually not a valid argument at WP:AfDs and its not a valid reason to "Keep" articles on Wikipedia either.

Keep - reserve keeper at the World Cup finals? If that isn't automatic notability, we need to fix our guidelines. Nfitz (talk) 18:51, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. Will change vote to keep if she plays while this AfD is open. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. The source noted above as an interview (which is in itself, very brief) is the only comment about her I could see in the first fifteen pages of a google search that was not a squad listing. I agree with Nfitz that being an uncapped reserve keeper at the finals of a major international tournament is relatively significant, and although not notable in itself per consensus, should prompt a search for GNG-level sources, but I can't see a great deal out there.

Keep to mind I tried improving the article with sources such as this and this but I then realized the subject may not actually be notable. The article has several issues and one of them is that there aren't many good sources; sometimes I'm not even sure what are about this man and his father Bernard O. Gruenke (distinguishing it with the "E." helps). Books found some results but either nothing significant or freely available and searches at News (only found one good link, the jsonline link above) and Newspapers Archive gave nothing significant and Highbeam also gave some results. At first, I thought he may be locally notable but without good sources, I'm not sure. SwisterTwistertalk05:13, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It sure does have issues. It uses "secular" and "non-secular" in reverse of their usual senses -- listing church properties as "secular" and public properties as "non-secular." Someone is taking civic religion too far, I think. If this artisan was involved in all of those projects, then it sounds like you're up against the distinction between prominence as notability again. It's certainly . . . lavish in its attention at this point. 11:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hithladaeus (talk • contribs)

Second source goes to a dead link. Searched the Georgetown.edu website, see no mention of "Oman Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies" with regards to Prof. Shahid, he's simply on an Adjunct Faculty list as a Professor Emeritus, see here. Also while there are works listed, the article and the works fail to establish this professor's notability in verifiable established sources. Does not meet WP:PROF guidelines.

Also the first source confirms his notability and title: It's Dumbarton Oaks (research library affiliated with Harvard): At Dumbarton Oaks, Irfan Shahîd was a Junior Fellow (1954–1955), a Visiting Fellow (1960–1961 and 1972–1973), a Visiting Scholar (1975–1976), and an Associate Fellow (1979–1984 and 1999–2008) of Byzantine Studies.

No demonstration of notability per the general notability guideline and WP:NSPORT. The one source which is in the article (I removed two which didn't mention the subject) is just a player info listing and states that he doesn't play for the national team. I did a quick Google search and didn't find anything which confirms notability. This is probably an A7 candidate but I'd like other opinions.

Redirect to Suburban_Legends#Albums. Right now there just isn't anything out there that would establish notability for this album. This might change once the album releases next week, but then again it may not. The best option would be for this to redirect to the main article for the band until the time if/when coverage in RS becomes available. Right now it's just WP:TOOSOON.

Weak keep. I found three studies of small groups of asteroids that covered this one [32][33][34]. Together with the unusual properties discussed above, this may be enough for notability. But I would be more confident in this if we could find sources that actually mention that it is unusually large for a Mars-crosser, or that it has a high rotation period (as we have for some other asteroids).

I'm aware this was nominated in 2011 but was withdrawn because a Billboard award he won but I'm not sure if this can entirely save the article. My searches at News, Books, browser (only passing mentions), Newspaper Archive, highbeam and thefreelibrary found nothing to suggest there are good sources to improve this.

Comment: This is on the line. If American commercial radio deserves to be covered, then its major movements are important.

Hithladaeus (talk) 12:04, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Although the award might make him a valid article topic if the resulting article could be properly sourced, the reality is that no claim of notability ever entitles a person to keep a minimally sourced article on Wikipedia just because they exist — the quality of sources that can be provided to verify a claim of notability are what satisfies the notability criterion, not the claim itself. It's also worth noting that the article was first created by User:Kncortes, so there's a conflict of interest here — this is clearly an WP:AUTOBIO, with a sizable amount of content which is completely unverifiable. The only source we've got here is his inclusion in a directory listing, and that's not enough to satisfy WP:GNG — and the award in question is not major enough (we don't even have an article about it) that the need to have articles about all of its winners would override their sourceability or lack thereof.

Comment - im not sure what you mean by "violates WP:GNG." I said it fails WP:GNG (which means it fails the standard for notability). Its better to move the article into user space than create another copy. I am happy to support userficationFlat Out (talk) 02:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep! Actually, it is a very historic song that charted in its day. Not every notable song is currently a top 40 hit. A new Wikipedian is working on this stub. Please give them the time to get their references in order. TeriEmbrey (talk) 17:39, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Recommend upmerge - the song, by itself, doesn't appear to meet notability; however, the article John McCormack (tenor), could certainly use more documentation of his songs, their placement. There would also be room for a list article that documents all of McCormack's songs: he was quite famous during the period, Sadads (talk) 12:53, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did a search through Newspapers.com: based on their collection, at the time, the song, by itself, did not appear to be notable in the newspapers around that time in and of itself. However, there are 78 instances of it being present in listings with his other songs, so I am betting that you could do some substantial surveys of his music independent of the individual, Sadads (talk) 13:27, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Richhoncho: My concern is that we haven't been able to surface any period sources attesting to it's relative importance, and thus reinforcing the Notability of the song. And I am not buying the idea that it wouldn't have been reported: I saw a bunch of stuff about McCormack and his individual tours to out of the way parts of the country which mentioned important individual songs: this didn't happen to be one of them. Sadads (talk) 15:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadads:@Richhoncho: I have just added a couple of citations for the notability of the musical score in and of itself. I don't know if that changes your opinions at all. But thought you'd like to know, in any case. TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:30, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am a little concerned about a chart that claims that this was the 53rd best selling single, when what charts there were in 1916/18 were published music. Having said that, assuming it was in the top 100 of any chart in those days makes the song notable, the article should grow, not be deleted. Thanks toTheGracefulSlick for showing us the true spirit of WP. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:06, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Many of the song guidelines won't apply, as this song predates charts (and radio). With steady improvement, the article will measure up, and the song itself is notable. It's hard to apply contemporary standards to it, but this one cast a long historical shadow. Hithladaeus (talk) 17:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO, article written by the company's digital marketing director is based on articles about her company in which she is mentioned, but lacks depth of coverage. Article previously deleted, was recently re-created, then speedily deleted but restored. While it may be different, same problems remain. Coretheapple (talk) 17:05, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Coretheapple: Hi! So I see that this article was deleted again because there is not enough proof that Jean Griswold is noteworthy, which is becoming rather frustrating. Would mention of this book, in which she was featured, help the depth of coverage that you mentioned? How much more supportive information is needed to improve the depth of coverage? Martin, Katherine (October 10, 2001). Women of Spirit: Stories of Courage from the Women Who Lived Them. New World Library. ISBN978-1577311492
@Joseph2302: Alright. Why is Jean not notable? She gained national attention after being featured in Inc., Forbes, Entrepreneur, and on NBC's Today. She has won numerous awards, including Working Woman's 2001 Entrepreneur of the Year honor. She is confined to a wheelchair after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1969. Her story was published in the 2001 book Women of Spirit, edited by Katherine Martin. Please help me understand why somebody that went through so much, but still managed to create her own company, win awards and be featured in so many publications is not notable?.

Strong Probable Keep Sources do seem to exist to document her as an entrepreneur of considerable accomplishment. Article may simply need sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:08, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:HEY Have added sources documenting that she is the founder of a large, successful company; that it is the oldest company of its kind in the U.S.; and also a 1992 profile of her from the Philadelphia Inquirer. @Coretheapple:, @Joseph2302:, @Wikimandia:, you may want to take a fresh look. There have been an impresive # of Jean Griswolds in the world, and coverage of this one often dates back over 20 yrs.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, afraid we still don't have sufficient significant coverage to support this person's inclusion in the project. Articles such as this do not count as significant coverage. We also have the fact that this article is written by the company's digital marketing director, per disclosure, and we should not have such articles in Wikipedia. It's unfair to our readers and to other corporate executives lacking such an aggressive Wikipedia-focused marketing campaign. Coretheapple (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC) Also, as discussed at length in the hatted discussion below, the claim that it is "the oldest company of its kind in the U.S." is sourced to the company and thus needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Extended discussion of one source
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Also I notice that you are using a press release to source a sweeping statement concerning the notability of the subject's company, that it is "the nation's oldest non-medical home care provider," per your edit here. That "McClatchy" article is clearly a republished press release that ran on the PR Web. The fact that it was carried on ProQuest is immaterial and does not anoint it with RS status. When a publication recyclces a press release, it is still a press release, and we don't use self-published press releases to source such sweeping statements. I haven't gone through the other sources you are talking up here, but I hope there isn't other questionable material at issue in the article. Coretheapple (talk) 15:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:Coretheapple, Untrue. The article is not a "a republished press release". As I stated on the talk page, Proquest is an archive. It does list press releases. But it flags them in the search as PR for Press RElease, so you easily scroll past them to find articles form real newspapers. The article in question is not a replica of the company press release, although it was apparently inspired by the press release. It is form a The McClatchy Company newspaper, the Tribune Business News and it is about how the national rebranding will affect a local franchise of Griswold Home Care. Proquest is an entirely RS since it takes you to the actual article in actual papers. Please cease your edit warring and undue ownership behavior.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:32, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The McClatchy "article" is a fifteen-day-old recycled, localized press releaseavailable on the web here that ran on the PR Wire[36], as a comparison of the two indicates. The fact that you summoned up that article from ProQuest adds no value to it and means nothing. The important point is that the claim that the subject of this article is CEO of "the nation's oldest non-medical home care provider" is a claim made by the company and is therefore of only limited credibility and usefulness. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources, and a corporate press release is not sufficient to support that kind of claim. It is currently attributed to the company (unless in your zeal to "rescue" this article, you took that out). If this article survives, it will need to be removed, as it is not properly attributed. There is little point in removing such press agentry from an article, written by the company's digital marketing guy, that is under consideration for deletion. Coretheapple (talk) 15:41, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
comment on COI, sources, and notability I had not known that the article was COI, although, of course, many/most? articles about individuals and companies are. Authorship is not the issue addressed at AFD. The question is whether Griswold's notability is substantive and well-sourced. She has been profiled in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Despite Coretheapple's aggressive denialism, and despite the fact taht claims of this source are inherently difficult to prove (define "home care",) a The McClatchy Company news article claims that her company is the oldest of its kind. And she is the recipient of numerous awards for being founder of a large, successful corporation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually what you are claiming to be a "McClatchy article" is a press release. It is word-for-word identical to the same press release, which was published in a different publication. So I stand corrected. It is not a "rewritten PRWeb press release." It is a press release. Coretheapple (talk) 16:47, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have posted both the link to the open access press release, and a full cut-and-paste of the news article which souces the "oldest" claim (it is an article about the local franchise, not a copy of the press release) on the article's talk page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is not an article about the local franchise. For the umpteenth time, it is a press release about the local franchise. We know that because the same text, with the same headline, ran in two separately owned publications. Apart from that, they both read like press releases, and are in the format of a press release. I pasted the same press release that you took from ProQuest, and the same press release that was put on the web by a different publication. They are both the same identically worded press release. Any editor with ProQuest acccess, and there are hundreds of us, can confirm this. Coretheapple (talk) 17:38, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The relevance to this AfD is this: the claim that you added to the article that Ms. Griswold is CEO of "the nation's oldest non-medical home care provider" is a claim made by the company. Period. You are, rather tendentiously, continuing to claim otherwise, but it is obvious that this claim is made by the company in a PRWeb press release, a shorter press release that ran in at least two publications, and nowhere else. Exceptional claims require exceptional sources, not press releases. Coretheapple (talk) 17:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone still interested, go to talk. However, even if this article turns out to be a press release, it is a minor point compared with the fact that Griswold founded a large, successful corporation; has received many awards covered in the press; was profiled in both Forbes and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Sometimes editors who spot an inadequate article become emotionally attached to their AFD nomination even after better sources are located and the article improved.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Coretheapple:@E.M.Gregory: I'm just trying to aid in this discussion. There was a request earlier here to provide sources for Jean Griswold being featured in some of the notable magazines. Here is a link to the Forbes article from December 24, 1990. Here is a link to the Inc article from JUN 1, 1989. Here is a link to the Church that Jean's husband Lincoln was minister at (he is mentioned in the history section of their site). Here are two more articles from Paraplegia News about Jean Griswold and what she has been able to do after being diagnosed with MS - Article 1 and Article 2. Still working on some of the other publications, but since I was asked not to edit the page, I am providing sources here so that others may do so. Jarodkarns (talk) 17:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, may I add that as far as I am concerned, mention of Griswold Home Care as a company or information about the business as it relates today, does not even need to be included in this article on Jean Griswold. We should be focused on the fact that this woman started her own company in the 1980's while fighting MS. With so much against her (being a female CEO and fighting a debilitating disease), she was able to help a lot of people that needed care, provide jobs, advocate for MS, and at the same time create a successful business. It's really a remarkable story. And again, although my COI is in play here (which I've declared), I am more than happy to take a sidelines approach as long as this discussion is handled appropriately. There shouldn't be much of an argument about whether Jean Griswold is notable or not as long as contributors are able to verify the sources. — Preceding undated comment added 17:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
I agree that this is an article on the founder, who has not received sufficient coverage to support notability, a situation that lamentably existed in the original article as well, the first one deleted. Coretheapple (talk) 19:09, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Founding a large, successful corporation is an excellent claim to WP notability, especially when it is backed up - as it is in this case - by a 1990 profile in Forbes, a 1992 profile in Philadelphia Inquirer, many shorter accolades in Inc. (magazine) and elsewhere as documented in article (which by no means includes all of the press she's drawn) and by examples brought here by User:Jarodkarns but (not yet edited in to the article); and by the many prizes given her by sundry notable outfits, some sourced in article. There is more than enough here to pass WP:GNG. E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:11, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt, in spite of the fuss and of the wikilawyering above, this is just a vanity page, promotional, badly sourced with tons of primary sources and trivial mentions, and failing GNG. Spirit of Philadelphia Award and Working Woman's Entrepreneur of the Year are non-notable awards, then absolutely inadequate for a claim of notability per WP:ANYBIO. Griswold appears to be someone worthy of respect, but currently unsuitable for having an article in an encyclopedia. Cavarrone04:48, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It appears to me that a large number of sources (both in the various searches and on-page, but ignoring the subscription-requiring ones) mostly talk about her company (which doesn't appear to have an article) rather than herself. An article about the company might meet WP:GNG and WP:GROUP thusly. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Added a chapter in a book and a profile/feature article about Griswold from Entrepreneur (magazine) 1991 to the feature/profile stories from Forbes 1990 a and Philadelphia Inquirer 1992 already on the page. Also added two long profile, feature stories on Griswold from PNMagazine (formerly Paraplegia News)[37] dated to 1991, and 2003. So there are 3 or 5 full profile/feature articles from major magazines, plus extensive news coverage of her in relationship to the company she founded. Plus discussions of her life and career in books. I fail to understand the argument for deletion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I know nothing of Griswold Home Care, but if it is operating on the scale alleged, it is clearly notable, and its founder too. The fact that this article started with a COI-editor is not a reason for deletion, if the subject is notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Delete) Fire departments are not a class of topic where every one that exists is automatically entitled to an article — nearly every municipality of any size has one of either the volunteer or professional kinds, so you have to make and source some pretty distinctive and substantive claims of significance to get a fire department into Wikipedia. But that hasn't been done here — this is a one-line stub which just asserts the FD's existence and sources it nowhere. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source a real article about it.
Keep due to content and sourcing improvements by Mikeman67. More certainly still needs to be done, but what's been done so far is enough to flip me. Bearcat (talk) 01:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there's plenty of reliable content online with which to expand this article, such as: [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44] and so on. Way too premature to delete this article. Worth mentioning that Hamilton is a fairly large city with over 500,000 residents, it's not a tiny backwater municipality. mikeman67 (talk) 14:24, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Fire department with about thirty stations. Easily large enough for a common sense keep. As to "no content", you should probably try reading WP:STUB. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Based on that argument any city with a high population could have a page created saying "The <insert city name> fire department provides fire protection for <insert city name>." And nothing more. If this page were created right now, it wouldn't last a day before being deleted. --Zackmann08 (talk) 16:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that no topic of any class gets an automatic notability freebie, whereby it's entitled to keep an unsourced stub of the "Topic is a thing that exists, the end" variety. A stub, even a short one that still needs significant expansion, still has to at least make and source at least a basic claim of notability, which is not the same thing as mere existence, to be keepable. Bearcat (talk) 17:36, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Wikipedia is not a random collection of information. It is not the white pages. It is not the blue pages (for you people who remember actual white pages). It is not the government guide to Yourtown. For a fire department to be notable, it must be notable, and that means achieving notoriety, not being the subject of a budget battle or putting out a fire. Nor is a city of 500,000 more notable in this regard than one of 10,000, inasmuch as CIVILFUNCTION will remain functional on a sliding scale. Notability will be as likely in a small town as a large city, since the actions that would create it will be the same. No, being a government building does not make a place notable, unless Wikipedia is taking over the abolished Statistical Abstract of the United States. Hithladaeus (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Nor is a city of 500,000 more notable in this regard than one of 10,000..." I'm afraid I'm going to have to say: Drivel! Of course it is! So, what you're saying is that the New York Police Department, if it didn't have any issues and just did its job without ever getting into trouble or getting any negative press, would be no more notable that Hicksville, MN, Police Department with its seven sworn officers? Sorry, but that is utterly and completely laughable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:47, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
None of the arguments you just cited have any relation to WP's policies on keeping pages. See the WP:GNG. I think the links I posted show it clearly meets the GNG. Also, you seem to be unaware that Hamilton is in Canada, not the United States. mikeman67 (talk) 18:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Let's stay within this debate and reasoning, please. An organization's struggles, as an organization doing its job, scale. The organization is more likely to affect more people adversely, if it has a large population base, and therefore a large city's fire department is more likely to have "notability" through criteria unrelated to being a fire department. Do you understand now? Making an argument along the lines you did, "Fire department, keep" is ridiculous. Saying that it's a fire department for 500,000 or 50 would not change "fire department."
Now, as for the second. . . huh? Of course I know what it is and where it is.
You imply that, if I do not say, "Fails guideline X," then there is no motion for deletion. By this, you imply that deletion is done by -bots, but keeping is done by anyone failing to be a -bot. If that's what it takes to avoid more incrimination: "Fails to meet GNG." Do I need to put a numeric code in as well? Some people believe that schools, fire departments, police departments, city halls, and probably arts centers are, by definition, items for Wikipedia. Some people do not. I do not. Hithladaeus (talk) 19:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If there are enough sources available, they can be implemented and it would be a better article. Plus, a large city should have articles about its services. RES2773 (talk) 20:08, 11 June 2015 (UTC)RES2773[reply]
