    2004 Cayman Islands earthquake[edit]

    2004 Cayman Islands earthquake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
    (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

    This was a large strike-slip undersea event near the Grand Cayman archipelago. The maximum intensity was VI (Strong), which would have startled residents and made a local newsworthy topic, but this insignificant event did not cause any damage and was not covered in the scientific circles. Other events have occurred in that area, but there was no lasting impact from this one, and there doesn't appear to be any material available to expand the article.

    A few of us in Wikiproject Earthquakes construct articles on noteworthy events using journal articles, books, and earthquake catalogs. This event was not looked at closely (by seismologists) and so no journal articles are dedicated to it. It does have a one-line entry in the catalogs, but this limited amount of information leaves us with nothing to write about. What we're trying to do in the project is write articles about meaningful events and consolidate and/or delete articles on insignificant items. That is what this AFD amounts to. There is a need to start or expand articles on many earthquakes, but this one is not one of them.

    John Lewis, head of investment and pension fund administration at the Bank of Butterfield on Grand Cayman, called the earthquake a non- event. "A number of us were in the office," he said. "It lasted about 10 seconds, the building shook and there was no damage. It was mostly just a topic of conversation around the water cooler this morning."

    — Clair, Chris. (December 15, 2004) Magnitude 6.7 Quake Shakes Caymans Daily News (New York)

    The head honcho of our WikiProject is a geologist and has put together these notability guidelines for earthquakes. By looking at these criteria, someone who is not involved in WP:Earthquakes and doesn't write about earthquakes at all may not be able to see how this event does not align. An event would have to be exceptional in some way in order for an article to be created (or kept) that does not correspond with these guidelines. Dawnseeker2000 19:57, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment Responding to the pinging. Five years after the last discussion, I regret to say that the original deletion argument-- that this had no enduring notability-- seems to have been true after all. As I said in 2010, it would be preferable if this were part of an article called "Earthquakes in the Caribbean", which are uncommon. If someone can show that there are still mentions of it (as in 2010), it might make a difference; at the moment, I think that the passage of time has demonstrated that it had no lasting impact-- it's forgettable and now forgotten. Mandsford 20:35, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Response: Wikiproject Earthquakes is starting to organize our lists by notable events. This is a work in progress that's just getting started and will mean removing some entries from our current lists. All of our list articles should be focused towards the common selection criteria for (for notable entry) lists. In this case, we're going for notable events, and this event wouldn't qualify because the notability guidelines for earthquakes apply. Dawnseeker2000 16:20, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem, I definitely defer to Wikiproject EQ's organization. МандичкаYO 😜 17:53, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    As a side note, I do believe that pure mainstream coverage could be enough to make an earthquake notable, though WP:ROUTINE applies in many cases. So I would take the project's "being mentioned in the mainstream media is not in itself evidence of notability" with a grain of salt (= common sense). Tigraan (talk) 08:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    After editing the article a bit, I'm thinking that it might also be appropriate to merge this into a Brasserie Mutzig (or Mutzig brewery) article, if we were to create one. Mojoworker (talk) 18:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Mojoworker, That sounds good. Since you have knowledge on Mutzig brewery, why not develop the page to reflect the status of a brewery rather than a brand then move the page to the new name? That would be of great assistance. . Zotezangu (talk) 05:50, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Factually incorrect, unreferenced. The error message exists but has nothing to do with the purported causes and effects given in this article. For comparison, see Microsoft's error description. Prodded for that reason, de-prodded by the author because they supposedly "learned all of this information in [their] computer maintenance class".

    If this error message is notable enough for an encyclopedia article, which I currently doubt, it would be easier to write a new one from scratch; no part of the current content is salvageable. Huon (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia follows the published sources; see WP:Verifiability. Such as, say, this book which explains that IRQL (IQRL is a misspelling) is not "the main control center of the computer or device" but rather the Interrupt Request Level, a number used to determine the order in which the processor reacts to interrupts. It's not a piece of hardware, there is no "amount of data stored on the IRQL", and hard drives are at best of peripheral relevance to the error - certainly not because "the amount of data stored on the IRQL must be greater than the amount of data storage on the internal hard drive". Regarding claims such as "it only happens to 1 person in America every 3 years" I rather doubt you can explain how one would even assemble such a statistic which would mean that this effect occured to about five persons in America, ever (ignoring the fact that the amount of computers running Windows hasn't been constant over those 15 years or so since Windows 2000 was introduced). Huon (talk) 19:41, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    So basically what you are saying is that we can't go by what I learned in my maintenance class, even if it was right? I am now concerned that my teacher was teaching us incorrect information, but that's not the point here. I still object to the deletion because I don't have whatever book you are talking about, and I didn't know that the other website even existed. Given these factors, I had to write based on what I learned, and I don't think that anyone would know that the teacher was incorrect. Perhaps someone (other than me, because obviously I've been taught a hoax) could merge this content into the Blue screen of death article? As I said, this is one of the most common causes of a blue screen and really should be included. Wiki you now, Wiki you later! (talk) 23:19, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The article creator is new to Wikipedia. I had placed a speedy deletion tag on it and he had removed it and politely asked me what the problem was. Rather than get into our policy about article creators removing speedy tags, I thought it best to respond to his concerns with a full discussion here.

    Patrick U. Murphy was not a man without professional achievements. He witnessed a lot of history. He competed on behalf of Ireland as part of a fishing team. And was present as a youngster during an emergency landing of an aviator and took part in a commemorative ceremony many years later. Yet I don't believe he quite meets the rather specific criteria set out in WP:BASIC, unfortunately. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • I have been profiled in The Sunday Times but am not notable. I can't see the contents of your second source but your third source is little more than a passing mention and includes the statement that Pizzeria Napoli is just one of many restaurants that have opened since the ousting of Saddam Hussein - that is what is being discussed really, not the PN itself. Your fourth source is the single event ans, really, isn't much of a mention anyway. Have you ever wondered why those passing mentions occur? Could it be that the owner is just a bit more savvy with soundbites, and perhaps even the only local shop owner who can converse with the foreign journalists? Why does the article have problem attracting incoming links? - Sitush (talk) 06:39, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nobody is arguing you are notable. We're pointing out that a one-man hole-in-the-wall pizza joint profiled in Time and Newsweek and books is notable.[8] No, I've never stopped to wonder how he conspired to get all this press, or how a man described as speaking "a little English" was able to be a "bit more savvy with soundbites" than the other millions of people around trying to survive in a war zone. Sounds like something I should devote a lot of time to mulling over. Maybe he was the one who started the rumor that Iraq had WMD to get the U.S. to invade so he could finally start a restaurant and finally get his name in Time. Wow. Can we get it speedily deleted as as M1: all references fraudulently obtained through Machiavellian scheme? МандичкаYO 😜 13:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • No need for the snark - I've no idea what I've done to piss you off but you should drop it, otherwise you're likely to get it back in spades. This article has existed for years and as of today still has no links from other articles. We've got nearly five million of them and not one that refers to this, not even a list article. The chances of that happening are pretty slim but among the other orphans from that period is another seemingly useless food and drink article. You'd do a better job of convincing me if you provided the relevant info from the book that I say I cannot see. I'm assuming that you have read it to verify that it isn't just a passing mention. - Sitush (talk) 15:10, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Besides most of those sources being far beyond the scope of "passing mention", there is no WP:NOTNOTABLEIFSAVVYWITHSOUNDBITES rule which I suppose would say "If a topic passes WP:GNG but is also "media savvy", then that disqualifies them from having an article." --Oakshade (talk) 01:24, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I do wish you lot really understood WP:PROMO and that one of the key beauties of Wikipedia is the links between articles. But obviously I am going to be on the wrong side of this rabid inclusionist discussion. I fucking despair. - Sitush (talk) 01:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nice WP:CIVIL violation. We're all aware of WP:PROMO and that doesn't apply here. The links are in the categories. While it would be a nice "beauty" to have more, that's not an article requirement. If you truly feel that notability guidelines were not adhered to and this was kept due to "rabid inclusionist discussion", then you can bring it up for deletion review where you're guaranteed to have much wider community input. --Oakshade (talk) 05:20, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:1E is a shortcut to "People notable for only one event." How is a pizza restaurant a person and how does very in-depth coverage from multiple international sources spanning at least five years "one event"? I would become familiar with the guidelines you cite before attacking other editors for not being familiar with them.--Oakshade (talk) 16:09, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Stop splitting hairs Oakshade, you know perfecty well what is meant here. The restaurant is known only for being damaged in a bob blast and absolutely nothing else whatsoever. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:15, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Splitting hairs? You're attacking editors for not being familiar with guidelines and then you cite one that has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. You cited WP:1E which only applies to people being notable for one event. A restaurant is not people. And the coverage which is spanning years about this place covering years before and after the nearby bomb blast is not one event. That's not splitting hairs but pointing out your misunderstanding of the basics of the guideline you cited.--Oakshade (talk) 16:23, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    And by the way, the in-depth Time coverage is from 2003. The "bob blast" occurred in 2004. How was it notable for only one event if that event hadn't taken place? --Oakshade (talk) 16:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    lacks notability RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 12:43, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:BEFORE done, as the website isn't notable, hence me typing "lacks notability". Notability, or lack thereof, is a key test in recognising whether an article is worthwhile or not, a test Goal.com fails miserably.

    Comment By saying ""Well known", right, but only for inventing news and being a source of mockery", I can only now assume this is a nom made because you don't like the website; you need to provide proof or some kind of balance that this site is some kind of Weekly World News for football news, which I'm not seeing at all out there outside of the usual social media "Goal.com sucks because they said something bad about my team" kveching.

    When I brought the article back, I specifically looked for and included external references that were non-trivial. You can see them in my last update to the article. I don't know why that entire section about the controversy regarding whether Myah Marie dubbed Britney Spears was removed, and the references that go with it. As far as I can see, that's exactly what makes her notable -- it's what the articles about her in multiple media outlets are about. I'll put that section back, which should address the concern regarding references. Geoff Canyon (talk) 08:42, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I added further references to the rumor that Myah Marie's voice is on Britney Spears's album. There's no shortage of articles like this available, all featuring Myah Marie prominently. I think the rumors make Myah Marie notable. Geoff Canyon (talk) 17:07, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The content is already copied to Kobanî#June 2015 massacres. To be honest, there's not much to explain the significance of the violent attack by allegedly ISIL/ISIS. Reactions or no reactions, they wouldn't make the small article larger. I tried to redirect the article to Kobanî, but it has gotten reverted. Even if the event is notable per WP:N or WP:notability (events), the article hasn't expanded much very shortly. Also, June is nearing the end, but even July attacks wouldn't make the article larger unless the media can overemphasize the tragic event as "big" or "bigger" than Wars in Middle East overall, similar to how they did to Haiti earthquakes or a hostage crisis in Sydney or a school attack in Pakistan. George Ho (talk) 09:44, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    It is a completely separate event to the Siege of Kobani. It happened long after it ended, and was a separate attack. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 14:11, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Event is notable. Short article length is not a valid reason for deletion. With the available sources, it can be expanded. Just no one has done it yet. The Western media has not gone into in depth detail on the attack in some areas. There is likely more detailed information in non-English speaking sources. And more information will come out in the coming days. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 14:13, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    This event has not gotten the attention in the English and Western media that it deserves, especially compared to the other attacks. Which is why the article page is so small. This is entirely a cultural bias, and commentators like Patrick Cockburn have suggested that this is due to weariness over conflicts in Iraq and Syria and that large scale massacres there do not shock us anymore. To delete this article would thus to enforce an entirely arbitrary cultural bias on the English Wikipedia that does not represent a worldwide view. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:07, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:BLP of a musician, making no claim of notability strong enough to pass WP:NMUSIC and relying almost entirely on primary (sales pages on Google Play and iTunes) and bloggy sources. There's one reliable source in here, but one source isn't enough to satisfy WP:GNG — and while the strongest claim of notability here, peaking #189 on the French singles chart, would probably be enough if the article were well-sourced, it doesn't confer a notability freebie on a person whose article is otherwise sourced this badly. A Google News search, further, didn't bring up any significant coverage in quality sources, but simply hit more coverage of the junk-blog variety.

    One reliable source is not enough to get a person over WP:GNG by itself. It takes multiple reliable sources. And a musician has to explicitly satisfy one of the listed criteria at WP:NMUSIC to qualify for an article — a person does not get an article just because one editor asserts that they're well-known, if sufficient sourcing isn't there to properly support an article. Bearcat (talk) 18:38, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    As Bearcat says, one reliable source that covers the subject substantially is not enough to satisfy GNG. Nor does peaking at # 189 appear to be sufficient. Epeefleche (talk) 23:59, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I find no sources at all that indicate that this company even exists, much less that it is notable. I've gone through the sources for the movies that they have allegedly been involved in, and not found a shred of evidence. In addition, it was created by an editor who has since been blocked as a sock, so it could perhaps be speedied on those grounds (the group of socks seems to be respondible for creating several articles about made-up movies). bonadea contributions talk 16:38, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:INDAFD: Jalsha Movies Star, Jalsha Movies Jalsha Movies Production
    Comment Of course I looked for sources, with various spellings because that is often a concern with names in languages that don't use Latin script. I'm not sure if my search skills are really bad, or what my problem is, but everything I could find was about the major Bengali language TV channel Jalsha Movies, and that applies to the search results you link to above as well. The google search string you linked to only tells me "No results found for "Jalsha Movies Production". Results for Jalsha Movies Production (without quotes)", and at least the first several pages of search results are news about the TV channel. Most of the Economic Times and Times of India search results that I get don't mention the word "Jalsha" at all, and those that do talk about the TV channel. The same applies to search hits in The Hindu. (When I look at the list of search hits at Economic Times almost every one of them is about one US movie or another, which indicates that it's unlikely that the article would constitute significant coverage about a Bengali production company, and in fact, following the links shows that "Jalsha Movies Production" is never mentioned at all.) If you could point me to some articles about the movie production company rather than the TV channel, I would be very much obliged, because frankly, I cannot find them by searching and I would love to know how to improve my search skills!
    I did not in fact suggest a G5 deletion, I wouldn't have started the AfD if I had. My "allegation about an alleged pack of socks or meats" was based on the fact that the article was created by an editor who was subsequently blocked as a sockpuppet, one of a group of such socks, which had made a habit of creating articles about nonexistent films. (And the article was created a couple of months after the master was blocked, so I'm not quite sure what you mean - it was definitely created by a sock in violation of a block. I still think an AfD is a good idea because other editors have been involved in the article since, and if the company does exist, and is notable, I'd rather there was an article about it.) --bonadea contributions talk 09:06, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I should perhaps have mentioned the existence of the TV channel in my nomination - sometimes it's easy to overlook things that seem obvious to ourselves, but aren't obvious to other people. My apologies for that. --bonadea contributions talk 09:24, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem. Jalsha Movies Production was created in October 2013 as a simple redirect to Dev (actor) and editor Materialscientist changed the redirect later that same day as more fitting to STAR India's Jalsha Movies. It was in December 2013 that unsourced content began being added. There was information in it at that time that, even in lacking notability for a separate article, could have led to enough results to merit a return of the redirect to Dev (actor) or Jalsha Movies... an alternative that could have been done without bringing this to AFD. Tell ya what... after this is likely deleted, and since I am a non-involved, non-sock, I'll go ahead and recreate the redirect and then WP:PROTECT it to prevent from unnecessary expansion.

    I did some good research before creating this article. Actually, Medjet was the first to pioneer the air medical transport membership concept in the United States in 1991. Medjet is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating and seems to have a lot of articles written about them or are mentioned as one of the best options for supplemental travel insurance (in reliable sources independent sources, e.g., Forbes.com, latimes.com, yahoo.com, wsj.com). I strongly believe Medjet “is a valid subject for a separate Wikipedia article dedicated solely to that organization or product” because of the secondary sources found on the company here, here, here.

    Delete. Original research. This article can come back when this method has actually been adopted somewhere or been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Markus Schulze 06:53, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Keep. This article has references, and while they may not be from a peer reviewed journal, they are from reputable sources (New York University and the University of Valladolid). As such this is not 'original research'. The requirement for peer reviewed references seems a somewhat high bar that is not required for many other topics, and does not seem relevant in this case, as no statements requiring of peer review (mathematical conclusions or assertions regarding the method's efficacy or fairness) have been made, simply a rather easily verifiable point about being able to add up the results easily. Felixaldonso (talk) 10:09, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Also, after a brief search, these may in fact be peer reviewed papers (not sure how to verify that, or where you would want to see the references in the article, but hopefully this should demonstrate that the method is worthy of an article):

    I am not sure how you have reached this conclusion - the arxiv paper specifically references 'Brams & Kilgour, 2014', and the other paper is written by Brams and Kilgour, so I find it highly unlikely that they would have defined two separate systems and chosen to refer to them by the same name. In addition, the definition sum(|W∩Ai| / |Ai|) in the arxiv paper is fairly unambiguously the definition "sum over all voters of voter's successful candidates over total votes cast by voter". Perhaps the article could be edited to make this clearer, but this is an argument for improvement not deletion. Felixaldonso (talk) 16:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    As one of only about 3 (that I am aware of) multiple-winner cardinal voting systems, I would say that it is fairly notable. Especially when compared with the sheer number of condorcet voting methods that have an article such as Dodgson's method. Ultimately, this is not an article giving a D-list celebrity an ego boost - it is a serious article about an interesting, mathematically grounded proposal, with references to respected academics. Its presence on Wikipedia is not (unlike a D-list celebrity promotion piece) going to bring Wikipedia into ill repute, and so the relentless drive to cull it may be somewhat misplaced. I would also like to add that I have no relation to Brams, Kilgour et al, and have no particular vested interest in this particular system - it just seems an omission from Wikipedia to have such thorough coverage of so many fairly niche voting methods, but to not include this rather unusual one.

    • Comment I'm not sure how 'satisfaction' can be as an 'undefined euphemism' given that it's defined in the article ("satisfaction ... is equal to 1/n where n is..."). Your criticisms of the method and it's name may well be correct, but are irrelevant to whether it should be deleted under WP:N. FPTP is a terrible voting system, but that doesn't stop it being notable :). As for that sentence, it's not best phrased but the meaning seems obvious enough (it's saying that under that definition of satisfaction, if two of your choices are elected (i.e. in a multi-winner election) you get twice as much satisfaction as if one was) -- I'm sure you could phrase it better, so go ahead. -- simxp (talk) 20:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment If the word used in the literature is "satisfaction", then we should use "satisfaction". It is not a weasel word or euphemism in this context since it is well defined. A bit like how "monster" is not pejorative when talking about the monster group. In that context, "maximizing electorat satisfaction" is just like saying "maximizing f(x)" when you have defined a function f. "Independent" in the sentence you quote is in a very standard mathematical sense of "does not affect", and additive is totally clear in that context. Sure, you may disagree with the notation or terminology. I personally find using kernel for a function to integrate against, or in the context of an OS downright misleading, but it doesn't mean I get to go change it on Wikipedia.

    @Laurel Lodged: respectfully I must disagree. Of the seven founding names given in History of the Gaelic Athletic Association, two (John McKay, Joseph O'Ryan) have no articles. Therefore, ipso facto, co-founding the GAA, does not it and of itself entitle one to automatic notability and therefore a Wikipedia article. Thus, J.K. Bracken is not notable solely as a GAA co-founder, and the remainder of his article is almost exclusively family details, namely son Brendan. Quis separabit? 22:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I really don't know what this is supposed to be.

    It claims to be "historical fan fiction" in the heading, but there's no explanation of book, author, etc, and no sources. In fact, it's not even clear what the title is supposed to be with the article called "CKII+ House Medici" and the heading "House Medici".

    The content itself reads like an attempted history of the House of Medici itself, but we already have a well-developed article on that (which, incidentally, makes no mention of a "Rodrigos de Medici").

    If this is supposed to be about a work of fiction, without any clue as to the author Google doesn't help as "House Medici" find lots of hits about the eponymous house. Mr Potto (talk) 12:50, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yes, unless/until there is a second Dina Rae article out there (which I guess is technically possible, I believe there's an author out there with the same name), there is no reason to have disambiguation (the "recording artist" part) because those are only use to distinguish between other Wikipedia articles, and there is no such 2nd article to distinguish from here. It should just be "Dina Rae". Sergecross73 msg me 02:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Are you talking about the MTV bio there is out there? In general MTV is usually a reliable source, but that particular article looks funny, lacking formatting and whatnot. Looks like it may be ripped from some other site, which, in that case, we'd have to figure out where it came from and/or who wrote it. As far as the link, the direct link is WP:ALBUM/SOURCE, if that helps. I don't know why it would crash unless its such a big page that it causes your computer/device to lock up when you load it or something. Sergecross73 msg me 17:22, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sergecross73: that's the one, it copied itself from a cite I once saw and dor the life of me I can not remember it and it changed that she grew up listing to a wide range of musical icons such as Teena Marie (MTV changed it to Madonna) and Method Man, so I put it to Teena Marie as originally stated , I hope that helps =).

I know I shouldn't have mentioned it here but like I said I won't be on for long) and I agree if the page does stay for it to go as just Dina Rae too and whilst I'm on the subject on Dina Rae; that re-listed thing do I have to add another comment like Keep or Delete or does mine from the Dina Rae (recording artist) count for the Dina Rae (singer) consensus?

    • It shouldn't really matter, as it's always been about the same subject. Why did you change it from "recording artist" to "singer"? I thought we agreed that nothing at all was necessary, because there isn't another Wikipedia article with her name? Dina Rae is the correct choice due to Wikipedia naming conventions.

    Comment If Caudwell introduced the term "transsexualism", and there are sources to show as much, then doesn't that suggest notability? FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 06:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. The term was actually introduced by Magnus Hirschfeld. The RS used to claim that it was Cauldwell actually says the very opposite. Here is the exact quote: "Although sexologist David O. Cauldwell is often credited for coining the term 'transsexual,' it was Magnus Hishfeld who should be credited since he mentioned the term 'seelischer Transsexualismus.'" — James Cantor (talk) 13:47, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. That does not make sense: The first RS provided (page 17 or elsewhere) provides no mention of Cauldwell, and the mention given in the second RS (although well and good) does not meet any of the criteria in WP:PROF. Mere mention in an RS does not meet WP criteria for having an independent page. — James Cantor (talk) 23:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I meant the 17th page of the PDF, not the 17th page of the book. Or you can go to page 42 of the book. The subject is discussed extensively in pages 42–45 of the book. Cunard (talk) 23:55, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Well, yes, the 17th page of that book says that Cauldwell wrote several pamphlets about sex, which no one is contesting. Rather, I am pointing out that that such pamphlets (regardless of number) do not meet WP:PROF, which indicateS not only that such works need to be entire books but also that such books need to receive substantial mention (such as from book reviews in recognized outlets). Booklets do not have the same status as books, and no RS is available that is equivalent to a scholarly book review. I agree that such folks may be over the threshold, but nothing says that Cauldwell actually is. — James Cantor (talk) 01:37, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Per what bio sources I do not contest the content of the "keep" comments, but I do contest only that those comments meet any of the criteria mentioned in WP:PROF. Mere mention/discussion in RS's does not meet WP:PROF. There is no opposition to mention of the subject in relevant pages, but none of (passing) mentions in the the RS's given justify creating a page unto itself. — James Cantor (talk) 23:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Would you list, please, what those RS's are? The only ones which claim that he coined the terms "transsexual" have turned out to be wrong. If there is any other RS that has listed any other claim to notability, no one gas cited what it is. — James Cantor (talk) 01:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would you list, please, what those RS's are? – I cited one right above your reply: a 2002 book published by Harvard University Press, How Sex Changed: A History of Transsexuality in the United States. The second source is the Journal of the West article I listed above that "discusses the professional relationship between Haldeman and U.S. medical doctor, sexologist, and author David Oliver Cauldwell". Both of these are very reputable sources. The coverage on pages 42–45 of the book and the substantial coverage in the journal article are significant enough for the subject to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which defines "significant coverage" as "address[ing] the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content".

    Comment: In case there is any doubt, the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses in Mozambique is not a notable subject is not intended to suggest that either Jehovah's Witnesses or Mozambique are not notable subjects. Jehovah's Witnesses do not make up a significant proportion of the population of Mozambique (0.23%), and Jehovah's Witnesses in Mozambique do not make up a significant proportion of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide (0.69%).--Jeffro77 (talk) 12:18, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Jehovah's Witnesses in Mozambique are not especially notable either in respect to Mozambique or Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses have had government opposition in various countries, and a section about Mozambique could be added to Jehovah's Witnesses and governments for that purpose (if there are sufficient sources). It does not justify a separate article, and certainly not one that is based only on primary sources.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The fact that it 'is an African country' has nothing to do with anything. The subject is not supported by reliable secondary sources. JWs in Mozambique make up a negligible proportion of people in Mozambique and of JWs worldwide. Also, your example of 'a denomination with 90 congregations in UK or US' isn't even supported by articles under that criteria. The broader subject of JWs generally is very well covered on Wikipedia. Less than a quarter of 1 percent does not constitute "significant penetration into a country".--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:50, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The creator and primary author of the Portuguese article is the same person who created the article in English. As you have suggested, the Portuguese version is not neutral. It also most likely incorporates copyright violations, as that article formed the basis for the English article which contains entire sections of translated copyrighted text.--Jeffro77 (talk) 09:05, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree with Peterkingiron, many articles that are created come from an influential country are approved without any criticism. As already discussed I approve the article as it tells a real fact and we see that their history is real abase sources quoted. Prosuponho that there are many items with a single source, but insentos of criticism ... That's all I could do to make public a history of a religion which is also part of a country not to go into oblivion. But rather that ageração vindora the better ...rgimo (talk) 19:40, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Do not delete other editors' comments as you did to my comment that I have restored above.[38] The reason for deleting the article has nothing to do with whether a particular country is "influential".--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    JWs in Mozambique are an extremely small proportion of JWs globally (0.69%) or of people in Mozambique (0.23%). The broader topic of Jehovah's Witnesses has very good coverage on Wikipedia.
    It is not a reasonably well done article. It is based almost entirely on primary sources, including a copyright violation.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Jeffro77, the case here is not the TJ in Mozambique is a much lower propotion from the existing worldwide, but the historical legacy that must be transmitted generation to come. It is you already said that this matter was not so equal coverage of Germany in Hitler time. I agree, you know why? After the war the historians speculated the facts ... As already in Mozambique not to fiqui happy to see the description that DW did. Although that in your view that still does not meet the requirement of secondary reference. What about Your comment has been inadvertently excuse!rgimo (talk) 23:24, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The supposed 'historical legacy' is not sufficiently indicated in reliable secondary sources. That is the only consideration relevant here. Wikipedia should not be used as a soapbox for matters that individual editors believe to be important in the absence of suitable sources.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:40, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Jeffro77, I see you want to tease me for nothing, Vee this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igrejas_de_Cristo, Tell Me cites secondary sources? Put an end to this discussion is passing the time!rgimo (talk) 21:09, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Saying that other stuff exists is not generally useful at these discussions, and there's no reason I should already have been aware of that article. The other article does cite a secondary source, the World Christian Encyclopedia. If the denomination is only found in Mozambique, then the article may be warranted because of its uniqueness there. If the denomination is present in various countries, then an article specific to Mozambique (which it does not appear to be) would probably also be subject to deletion.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:22, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Lukeno94, interviews aren't typically considered secondary coverage though. Masami Ishikawa's words on Masami Ishikawa is considered a first party account. I mean, if there's more/better sources out there to flesh out an article, I could be swayed, but as long as its a few sentences based off of an interview or two, the best care scenario should be a redirect/merge to something Sega related.

    • I know they're not typically considered secondary coverage, and I will freely admit I'm voting with a liberal interpretation of GNG based on what I feel the spirit of the guideline is. Given that he has been sought out for interviews on the globally significant Mega Drive/Genesis project, and his role in that project, I do believe he justifies an article. I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect being in place if consensus does swing away from keeping this article; outright deletion seems a tad daft.

    Article about a locally produced radio show, citing no reliable source coverage to demonstrate that it passes WP:NMEDIA — until I stripped it as invalid sourcing, the original referencing here was entirely to primary (program's own website) and circular (other Wikipedia articles) sources instead of to any evidence of media coverage. In fact, it's teetering right on the edge of being speediable as an advertisement, given content like "CAC is available for rebroadcast free of charge in local markets by contacting the host" — to my eye, however, it falls slightly short of being blatant enough to earn that treatment. While the article makes enough of a claim of notability (syndication over multiple stations via a public radio network) that it would likely be eligible for a properly sourced article, no topic (radio program or otherwise) of any notability level ever gets to keep a Wikipedia article that rests exclusively on primary or circular sourcing with no RS coverage. (In addition, there's a likely WP:COI here if you compare the creator's username to the name of the program's host.)

    Article about a locally produced radio show, citing no reliable source coverage to demonstrate that it passes WP:NMEDIA — until I stripped it as invalid sourcing, the original referencing here was entirely to primary (program's own website) and circular (other Wikipedia articles) sources instead of to any evidence of media coverage.

    Evidence of media coverage by the "Washington Post", "The Bulletin" (Bend) (Central Oregon's most widely read newspaper), and by "American Cowboy" magazine has been added to the article.

    In fact, it's teetering right on the edge of being speediable as an advertisement, given content like "CAC is available for rebroadcast free of charge in local markets by contacting the host" — to my eye, however, it falls slightly short of being blatant enough to earn that treatment.

    Changed wording to "CAC is free and open content and can be rebroadcasted.

    While the article makes enough of a claim of notability (syndication over multiple stations via a public radio network) that it would likely be eligible for a properly sourced article, no topic (radio program or otherwise) of any notability level ever gets to keep a Wikipedia article that rests exclusively on primary or circular sourcing with no RS coverage.

    Reliable Sources have been added to the article. Circular sourced references have been mostly deleted.

    (In addition, there's a likely WP:COI here if you compare the creator's username to the name of the program's host.) 
    

    There is no conflict of interest. The article author is different from the program host (and is a different person.) "Calling All Cowboys" radio program is non-profit, Charles Engel does not earn any profit currently from the radio program activities. Since there are no earnings to pay a professional Wikipedia author to write the article, I have done so, also at no cost.

    To summarize : I have added many links to integrate the article into the Encyclopedia.

    I have provided examples of reliable secondary sources.

    I have shown that the content of the radio program is cataloged by the Library of Congress and The Smithsonian, and hence the program is educational to Wikipedia readers.

    I request that the notice be removed that the article is being considered for deletion. Thank you for your consideration of my request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allenengel (talkcontribs) 06:31, 22 June 2015 (UTC) Allenengel (talk) 05:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Responses:
    (1) The show is not the subject of those articles in the Bend Bulletin, the Washington Post or American Cowboy, but merely has its existence namechecked in articles which are about other things. That is not the kind of sourcing it takes to satisfy a Wikipedia notability rule — you need sources in which the show is itself the subject of the source, not merely sources which mention it in passing while actually being about other things. And nearly all of the other new "references" you added were reinsertions of the same inappropriate WP:CIRCULAR references that I called attention to originally — you cannot ever "reference" a Wikipedia article to other Wikipedia articles. You did not add links to other Wikipedia articles in the proper format for doing so — I did, in a followup recleaning.
    (2) A conflict of interest does not require that you personally be Charles — all you have to do is to have any direct personal connection to Charles at all. Nor does it require that you have been paid to write the article (that's certainly one kind of possible COI, but far from the only kind), or that the program be a for-profit enterprise rather than a non-profit (it's still entirely possible for a non-profit operation to have a COI, if the article is written in a promotional/public relations manner by an employee of the organization, rather than a neutral encyclopedic tone and an unaffiliated author.) None of this negates being in a COI position — in fact, by attempting to deny a COI you've essentially confirmed one, because you've confirmed that this was a personal favour to promote a program to which you have a direct personal connection.
    (3) The fact that the genre of music that the show covers happens to be catalogued by notable institutions does not confer a notability freebie on every single radio show that happens to cover that same genre of music. If you could provide evidence that the show itself was part of those cataloging efforts, then things might be different — but the mere fact that it happens to be about a notable music genre doesn't give the radio show notability by itself, if the radio show isn't itself partially responsible for creating the notability of the music genre.
    (4) An AFD discussion remains open for a minimum of seven days after listing (which can extend to 14 or even 21 days if there isn't enough participation to establish a clear consensus one way or the other), and the template cannot be removed until an administrator who has not already participated in the discussion deems that sufficient consensus has been established to independently close it one way or the other. In addition, your private e-mail to me was inappropriate — discussion of this type takes place in public, on Wikipedia talk pages, not in secret.
    So no, you have not adequately addressed the issues with this article. Wikipedia is not a PR database on which any radio program is entitled to have an article just because it exists — any radio program needs to earn an article by virtue of satisfying WP:NMEDIA's criteria for the notability of media, something which not all radio programs do.

    "The Washington Post" is one of the most highly regarded sources in Western Civilization. In the article, the "Washington Post" describes the program “Calling all Cowboys,” a weekly two-hour “music, poetry and old-time radio (show) with decidedly Western bent”. Is this not a definitive description of the program by a reliable source?

    And nearly all of the other new "references" you added were reinsertions of the same inappropriate WP:CIRCULAR references that I called attention to originally — you cannot ever "reference" a Wikipedia article to other Wikipedia articles. You did not add links to other Wikipedia articles in the proper format for doing so — I did, in a followup recleaning. 
    

    Thank you for your help in the recleaning.

    (2) A conflict of interest does not require that you personally be Charles — all you have to do is to have any direct personal connection to Charles at all. Nor does it require that you have been paid to write the article (that's certainly one kind of possible COI, but far from the only kind), or that the program be a for-profit enterprise rather than a non-profit (it's still entirely possible for a non-profit operation to have a COI, if the article is written in a promotional/public relations manner by an employee of the organization, rather than a neutral encyclopedic tone and an unaffiliated author.) None of this negates being in a COI position — in fact, by attempting to deny a COI you've essentially confirmed one, because you've confirmed that this was a personal favour to promote a program to which you have a direct personal connection.

    I consider the enforcement of the conflict of interest rule to be detrimental to the growth of Wikipedia information and article. I speculate that most of the authors of Wikipedia articles have some ax to grind in writing for Wikipedia. If Wikipedia were to mindlessly enforce the conflict of interest rule, I suspect that some existing Wikipedia articles would themselves violate the conflict of interest rule. With your help I have written a short factual article about Calling All Cowboys in a neutral encyclopedic tone. While some editors might consider cowboy music to not be notable, it has been part of American culture since 1850--far longer than Disco, Jazz, Electronica, and Wikipedia has articles about these programs.

    (3) The fact that the genre of music that the show covers happens to be catalogued by notable institutions does not confer a notability freebie on every single radio show that happens to cover that same genre of music. If you could provide evidence that the show itself was part of those cataloging efforts, then things might be different — but the mere fact that it happens to be about a notable music genre doesn't give the radio show notability by itself, if the radio show isn't itself partially responsible for creating the notability of the music genre.

    I am in agreement with point (3). I agree with your editing.

    (4) An AFD discussion remains open for a minimum of seven days after listing (which can extend to 14 or even 21 days if there isn't enough participation to establish a clear consensus one way or the other), and the template cannot be removed until an administrator who has not already participated in the discussion deems that sufficient consensus has been established to independently close it one way or the other. In addition, your private e-mail to me was inappropriate — discussion of this type takes place in public, on Wikipedia talk pages, not in secret.

    I sent a friendly, appreciative email to you. Email addresses are listed on the Wikipedia pages, which I presumed meant that emails to editors such as yourself are appropriate. There was no secret message in the email, no Quid Pro Quo. The content of the email I sent is virtually identical my posted response here.

    So no, you have not adequately addressed the issues with this article. Wikipedia is not a PR database on which any radio program is entitled to have an article just because it exists — any radio program needs to earn an article by virtue of satisfying WP:NMEDIA's criteria for the notability of media, something which not all radio programs do.

    Actually the program does meet the minimum WP:NMEDIA's criteria for notability of media. The radio program has been broadcast for more than 10 years. The radio program popularizes historic American culture for the 21st century American listener. You have correctly identified the program's fundamental challenge : "Calling All Cowboys" will unlikely have a major impact on popular American culture anytime soon. I sincerely doubt that cowboy yodeling or cowboy poetry will ever garner as much interest at wardrobe failures at Super Bowl Halftime Shows.  :) But the potential of Wikipedia, and the internet in general, is that minor voices like "Calling All Cowboys" can be heard amongst the din, and Wikipedia's allowing factual information about the program, makes it possible for Wikipedia readers to learn about a program that weekly serves up a slice of American history. I know that we are all busy, but ppossibly if you were to take a moment and sample a few minutes of "Calling All Cowboys", you might soften your position about the program article.

    Thank you for your valuable input. Allenengel (talk) 05:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Firstly, I did not cast any aspersions on the reliability of the Washington Post in principle. But that's a moot point anyway, because the link you just provided here is not from the Washington Post, but from the Washington Times — which is very much not "one of the most highly regarded sources in Western Civilization". And anyway, it fails to address what I actually said — which is that Calling All Cowboys is not the subject of that article, but is just glancingly namechecked in an article which fails to be about Calling All Cowboys. It doesn't matter whether the source is the Washington Post or the Washington Times or the Tinyville Herald, if Calling All Cowboys is not the subject of the article.
    Secondly, nobody said anything questioning or mocking the notability of cowboy music in principle. But the notability of the genre does not confer an automatic notability freebie on every single radio program that happens to play cowboy music. The program itself has to be the subject of coverage which is about the program itself, but that has not been demonstrated here. You keep trying to lean on the notability of the genre — which nobody has questioned or doubted — as a reason why the show should get a special exemption from Wikipedia's content standards, but that's not how Wikipedia works.
    Thirdly, there are contexts where private e-mail can be sent between Wikipedia contributors. Exhortations to consider withdrawing an AFD nomination, from the article's own creator, are not one of them.
    Fourthly, the length of time that a radio program has broadcast has no bearing on whether it meets NMEDIA or not, and neither does anybody's personal assessment of the inherent cultural value of what the program does. It's reliable source coverage, in which the program is the subject of the coverage and not just a sideways namecheck in an article that fails to have the program as its subject, or it's bust. That's how this place works — notability is a question of reliable source coverage, and not a question of whether any individual editor does or doesn't like the topic. I didn't say I didn't like it, at any rate — I said that the article is not meeting our inclusion standards, which is not the same thing as having an opinion about the show.

    I am starting to wonder if the notability standard is applied to Calling All Cowboys, that doing so is constructive prejudice that exemplifies the digital divide that suppresses the freedom of much of rural America. I began wondering this when I was looking for categories for common Western topics like cowboy poetry, western swing, country western, cowboy yodeling, and discovered that there are very few pages devoted to these subjects, despite the topics being part of the American West, and the American Old West, for over 150 years. Compare the number of articles devoted to music of the West, or historic American music, compared to Disco, and Electronica, and Rap. You will find that they outnumber western music articles 10 to 1 if not 100 to 1.

    I presume this constructive prejudice derives from the fact that the internet is largely the creation of the American Coasts, and not the American Inland West. In fact, much of the rural West still has high speed internet in name only. Reasonable in cost to the upper classes and middle classes, but costly to the poor. (In fact much of the Navajo nation has almost no internet at all, despite DARPANET going public nearly 21 years ago.)

    Cowboy music, cowboy poetry, cowboy yodeling are all integral to historic rural Western life, but if the Wikipedia notability standard is applied slavishly to this article, then it means that Wikipedia will not have universal coverage of all aspects of American life. Cowboy yodeling will never rise to much importance in Wikipedia as long as the notability standard is rigidly applied to the number of eyeballs, page hits, or newspaper articles that are measured to gauge notability.

    However, if you allow the Calling All Cowboys article to continue, its content demonstrates that Wikipedia is universal in its scope, at least when it comes to information about sources of moderated playlists of Western Americana, cowboy yodeling, cowboy poetry etc. For the 1 in 10,000 Wikipedia reader who is trying to find current information about cowboy music, the Calling All Cowboys article will provide that Wikipedia reader with information.

    Secondly, nobody said anything questioning or mocking the notability of cowboy music in principle. But the notability of the genre does not confer an automatic notability freebie on every single radio program that happens to play cowboy music. The program itself has to be the subject of coverage which is about the program itself, but that has not been demonstrated here. You keep trying to lean on the notability of the genre — which nobody has questioned or doubted — as a reason why the show should get a special exemption from Wikipedia's content standards, but that's not how Wikipedia works.

    Thirdly, there are contexts where private e-mail can be sent between Wikipedia contributors. Exhortations to consider withdrawing an AFD nomination, from the article's own creator, are not one of them.

    I have no information about Wikipedia email etiquette.

    Fourthly, the length of time that a radio program has broadcast has no bearing on whether it meets NMEDIA or not, and neither does anybody's personal assessment of the inherent cultural value of what the program does. It's reliable source coverage, in which the program is the subject of the coverage and not just a sideways namecheck in an article that fails to have the program as its subject, or it's bust. That's how this place works — notability is a question of reliable source coverage, and not a question of whether any individual editor does or doesn't like the topic.

    Again if you apply the notability standard for the number of articles, eyeballs, or page hits, you are truncating the scope of Wikipedia needlessly. To summarize that the notability rule is how this place works, means that it works only for the number of articles, eyeballs, and page hits. Meaning that since Howard Stern is popular nationwide, his radio program gets attention from Wikipedia, because newspapers and blogs and television give him attention. I am confident that within my lifetime he will not even note a mention in some far off future version of Wikipedia, but Western rural cultural life and the lure of the "Frontier" will still be an important part of American culture.

    Much of the knowledge of the old American West is unlikely to end up described on Wikipedia if you continue to promote that as the universal standard for article inclusion. Currently Wikipedia has little information about cowboy yodeling, cowboy poetry, etc.

    At this time Calling All Cowboys popularizes many aspects of the old American West. Including this article will benefit some of your readers who seek information sources about the culture of the old American West.

    I invite you to get a taste of Calling All Cowboys to see why its fans like the program. The program is not the Country Western Top 40-- its more like the Smithsonian, pretending that it's a music show.

    I didn't say I didn't like it, at any rate — I said that the article is not meeting our inclusion standards, which is not the same thing as having an opinion about the show. Bearcat (talk) 05:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

    Thank you for your insightful information about Wikipedia and for your evaluations of this pending Calling All Cowboys article. I appreciate the helpful formatting edits and I will attempt the html for these formattings in any future Wikipedia articles.

    New matter :

    "Calling All Cowboys" has a similar philosophy and purpose as Wikipedia.

    Wikipedia is universal in its coverage. Wikipedia provides information.

    "Calling All Cowboys" provides information about cowboy music, cowboy yodeling, western swing. "Calling All Cowboys" popularizes overlooked Cowboy Americana, like Smithsonian Folkwayshttp://www.folkways.si.edu/folkways-recordings/smithsonian and similar cultural organizations. "Calling All Cowboys" makes experiencing Old Western Cowboy Music entertaining.

    Not to disregard the helpful criticisms listed above, but those criticisms should be tempered by the useful purpose that "Calling All Cowboys" serves in popularizing Western Americana history.

    Since "Calling All Cowboys" has a similar philosophy and purpose as Wikipedia, its article is useful to some Wikipedia readers, and should be maintained in Wikipedia.

    Allenengel (talk) 17:33, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Here are the sources cited in the "Calling All Cowboys" article.

    Washington Post Article Dated February 3rd, 2015 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/3/community-radio-follow-fcc-rules-well-put-you-on-t/?page=all
    

    Bend Bulletin Newspaper Oct 13, 2006 http://www.bendbulletin.com/news/1525243-157/the-spirit-of-the-old-west

    American Cowboy magazine http://www.americancowboy.com/article/cowboycore#sthash.BW8pfQFL.dpuf

    Why do you consider the sources not significant? The sources are (1) a national newspaper (2) the primary local newspaper for Bend Oregon and all of Central Oregon (3) A special interest magazine devoted to cowboy music.

    It seems that we have reverted back to the notability issue again. My question is, if you rely on notability, then how do the small but significant voices that are part of American history, get noted on Wikipedia? Cowboy music, cowboy poetery, and cowboy yodeling were part of the Old West Culture, and there is almost no mention of these topics on Wikipedia. I checked for categories about "cowboy poetry" and "cowboy music" and "western swing" and the categories are empty on Wikipedia -- presumably because there are few or no articles about these topics. If you emphasize the notability rule, then topics which are part of America's old west past will probably not get enough notability from the 21st century media sources to merit obvious notability for Wikipedia.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled about housing discrimination in Community Properties, Inc. v. (Texas). They ruled actionable "actions that have a discriminatory effect even with no evidence of discriminatory intent." (Reuters) http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/25/us-usa-court-discrimination-idUSKBN0P51UO20150625

    I wonder if Wikipedia's notability standard, when inappropriately applied, might also have a "discriminatory effect even with no evidence of discriminatory intent?" Wikipedia has grown over more than a decade to be the world's preemininent source of information, with all the fine work of its contributors and editors.

    However, even after all these years, Wikipedia's coverage of Western American music is pretty skimpy. For example, they taught Western Swing at Portland, Oregon high schools, at Portland State University, and at the Mountaineers-- but I see very little coverage about Western Swing music on Wikipedia.

    Therefore I request that the article be maintained, as the radio program "Calling All Cowboys" serves a similar utilitarian purpose as Wikipedia : popularizing American culture.

    I invite you spend a few moments and go to the KPOV FM radio website and listen to "Calling All Cowboys". I hope that you will conclude that "Calling All Cowboys" is an article Wikipedia should allow, to continue the program's popularization of Western Americana.

    I replaced the Washington Post with the Washington Times. I sincerely regret this error.Allenengel (talk) 03:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm going to explain this to you one more time. A radio program gets into Wikipedia on the basis of reliable source coverage in which the program is the subject of said coverage. It does not get into Wikipedia on the basis of being namechecked a couple of times in coverage of other things — Calling All Cowboys is not the subject of any of the articles you keep pointing to as your sources, but merely has its existence acknowledged in articles that are not about Calling All Cowboys. Bearcat (talk) 23:10, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like the editors of Wikipedia to temper the reliable source standard, and maintain the article in Wikipedia. If Wikipedia editors continue to slavishly apply the reliable source ideal, then Wikipedia will be the poorer for not including "Calling All Cowboys". Wikipedia readers will not benefit about knowing about the educational benefits of "Calling All Cowboys", and Wikipedia will continue in its inadvertent lack of coverage about Western Americana topics like Western Swing, Cowboy Music, Cowboy Yodeling, etc.

    21st Century media continues to provide little coverage to some aspects of Americana. I doubt that media coverage of cowboy yodeling and cowboy poetry will increase, given that most media outlets are cutting back on staff. I wonder if the reliable sources ideal is the most appropriate criteria to apply to minority voices like "Calling All Cowboys"? I wonder if one of the potential benefits of Wikipedia is the inclusion of underreported voices like "Calling All Cowboys", and compensates 21st Century media's lack of universal coverage?

    Wikipedia's editors continued inclusion of the "Calling All Cowboys" article helps the growth of the knowledge of Western Americana music.

    It is my hope that the Wikipedia editors would temper the reliable sources ideal and help the growth of "Calling All Cowboys", a non-profit radio program with a philosophy and mission similar to Wikipedia.Allenengel (talk) 18:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Non-notable in any profession (businessman or political activist) and the previous 2006 nomination consensus was keep and merge to Dames Point Bridge (the merge never happened); I'd like a consensus whether this merge is still relevant. Searches at Highbeam, thefreelibrary and News found nothing except for Books ("Joe Cury Dames Point Bridge" shows same results) and Newspapers Archive but pretty much all of this is local newspapers and by the same author Dudley Clendinen who says a little too favorable things about him.
