• Keep Not the greatest example of a notable person, but "significant" coverage in reliable sources is always subjective, so I don't see how the article can be deleted. The coverage in the newspaper The Age is huge, as pointed above [5]. Also, after her death, she was the subject of an episode of a TV show called A Current Affair entitled "The sudden death of adult film star Chloe Jones" [6] confirmed by UPI [7]. In fact, that UPI source might be useful for the article. Plus the articles purely related to the Charlie Sheen scandal. Dontreader (talk) 03:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Entirely non-notable, this is an encyclopedia not a gossip magazine nor a porn guide. MachoCarioca (talk) 22:44, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If she's "entirely non-notable" then why was she featured in the newspaper The Age and on an episode of A Current Affair? Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine nor a porn guide but the subject seems to pass WP:GNG. I quote:

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list."

And keep in mind that many articles that were written about her in reliable sources are now surely dead links. I found several cases while doing the AfD research. Dontreader (talk) 23:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and redirect to List of Penthouse Pets. Given the thoroughly whitewashed, deliberately misleading caliber of the AVN story, it's hard to say Jones was "well-covered" by industry sources. And that's reflected in the article, which attributes her death to "liver failure[3] caused by Vicodin use", although the cited source actually says "liver failure inflicted by an addiction to Vicodin and a lifetime of heavy drug and alcohol abuse". An accurate bio would be horrific and serve to do little beyond inflict pain on her family and her children. The sanitized piece of shit that we've let masquerade as her biography is worse than nothing. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 00:55, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This scholar does not seem to pass WP:SCHOLAR based on what is written in the article. Also, the article has no independent reliable sources. Instead, it looks very much like the information on this page, which is the place where he works. I performed Google searches for significant coverage in reliable sources but I was unsuccessful, so I don't think the article passes WP:BIO either. Even if we could find reliable sources to support all of the claims that are made in the article, I think it would still fail to pass WP:SCHOLAR and WP:BIO.

• Keep. First, he holds a named chair and Whittier arguably meets the second prong of selective institution for WP:PROF 5. Second, his book on Tillich and his book "From Season to Season: Sports as American Religion" both seem to be highly cited. I expect his other work is as well. --Samuel J. Howard (talk) 22:18, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really think that anyone would call Whittier, a self described liberal arts college, a major institution of higher education and research. --Bejnar (talk) 03:30, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Except perhaps for readers of WP:NACADEMICS which says "Major institutions, for these purposes, are those that have a reputation for excellence or selectivity." Whittier has a reputation for excellence... except perhaps for its law school.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 14:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Samuel J. Howard: Using an objective measure of "excellence", in 2015 Forbes rates Whitter College as #331 Overall, #240 in Private Colleges, and #64 in the West. Forbes rated 650 colleges and universities, #331 places Whitter below 50%, near the top of the bottom half. That does not sound like the kind of excellence the guideline is talking about. That is down from #215 in 2010 here. Excellent schools include Pomona College, a direct competitor with Whitter, at #1. See the top one hundred here. That does not mean that one cannot get a good education at Whitter College, it just means that it does not meet the bright-line rule of WP:NACADEMICS. --Bejnar (talk) 19:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

US News and World Report on the other hand, says "[Whittier] is selective..."[8]. They rank the school as 124 among National Liberal Arts Colleges. Washington Monthly ranks Whittier at 74.[9] Both rankings substantially better than Forbes's rankings. Given the subjectivity of college rankings, one can hardly call any use of them a bright-line test. From Peterson's guide to colleges we read:"Whittier has earned a reputation for providing a high-quality liberal arts education. The Princeton Review recently named Whittier as one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education, and it included Whittier in the 2015 edition of 'The Best 379 Colleges.' Whittier is also among 200 schools listed in "Colleges of Distinction," a national college guidebook that showcases colleges who have engaged students, great teaching, a vibrant community, and successful outcomes."[10]. Finally, ironically, this list of "overrated" colleges testifies to the fact that Whittier has an excellent reputation[11], a necessary condition of being overrated.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 19:30, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

124 among National Liberal Arts Colleges is again in the lower 50%. And maybe you are unclear as to what "overrated" means. You do not have to have a good reputation to be overrated. It just means that you are not as good as you are being rated, which in this case is not that good even at #74 in the Washington Monthly. Whitter College is just not a major institution of higher education and research. --Bejnar (talk) 17:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete his claim to fame is that he has appeared on television and been a guest speaker on NPR. That does not indicate that he has had a substantial impact outside academia in his academic capacity. He does not meet any of the criteria for WP:NACADEMICS. And, no, Whittier College is not a major institution of higher education and research, it is a small liberal arts college with a total enrollment of about 2,000. He lacks the kind of coverage that would support a "substantial impact" analysis. --Bejnar (talk) 03:30, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Setting aside whether this subject meets the SNG for Academics, or whether Whittier is big or little, this strikes me as a GNG pass for a recognized national expert in "Baseball Studies." HERE is an interview with Price, the Co-Director of Whittier's Institute of Baseball Studies, on MLB.com, the website of professional baseball. And HERE is the website of the University of Chicago on Price and his quest to sing the national anthem at every MLB park. And THIS from the website of the AARP, on the same topic. THIS is Price being cited as an expert by Time magazine back in 2007. HERE we have the official website of Minor League Baseball on Price's singing the national anthem 100 times in a summer. And so on and so forth. It's a simple GNG pass here; don't overthink this. Carrite (talk) 05:34, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• comment — The nominator says that the article covers Linux CPU flags, but those flags are well known hardware instruction sets for x86 microprocessors, and aren't related to GNU/Linux, or any particular operating systems. Thus that part of the nomination could be misleading. As a side note, I was expecting a former Red Hat's employee like Richard W.M. Jones to be better educated on basic concepts of computer science — or GNU/Linux and procfs. Toffanin (talk) 20:10, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What a strange and unnecessary ad hominem attack. Some of these -- like 3dnow -- indicate groups of instructions, others -- like nx -- indicate other features of the hardware like fields in the page tables. Richard W.M. Jones (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith, it wasn't an ad hominem attack. Those flags are all standard ISA nomenclatures; they have nothing to do with GNU/Linux per se, since they are the same even on other operating systems like Windows, MacOS X, and pretty much all the BSD flavours. What I'm criticizing is not your person, but your lack of WP:BEFORE which is misleading since libvirt explicitly supports those cpu hardware features according to the source code of the project itself: https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/87205512565529b8baeb108e3d0fe376fc20c967/src/cpu/cpu_map.xml. Therefore the content of the page is correct, that is why I'm sceptic about your claims: you are suggesting that the page content is unrelated to its title, and even more to libvirt (but that page is not about libvirt itself) which is not true. One could argue that having such list of hardware flags supported by libvirt is non encyclopaedic enough to warrant an entry in WP — and I agree —, but that has nothing to do with cpu flags or GNU/Linux. Per WP:DEL and WP:AfD you should provide a better (and valid) reason for considering a list of libvirt feature policies as not notable for WP. And since a page about Libvirt exists, you should have proposed a merge / redirect instead. Toffanin (talk) 21:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like to throw oil an unnecessary fire, but Richard is right: these are specifically Linux's names for the CPUID feature flags (as reported in /proc/cpuinfo). Intel and AMD use slightly different names for some of these flags. —Ruud 09:27, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not encyclopedic on its own, and not really worth merging to libvirt (I assume libvirt can mask some of these to help VM migration, but WP:NOTMANUAL) or CPUID (has a better table already). —Ruud 09:13, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Even setting aside all of the other argument's above this article does not have sufficient citations to be considered WP:VER. Even more troubling is that there was some WP:NOR done to gather this information the statement that these processor specific CPU features are called this where ever libvirt is deployed is incorrect and only applies to linux and in many cases only x86 .

The result was keep. I have to say that I agree with 009o9 that the article would be better renamed to something like First U.S. Ebola patient or similar. This is supported by WP:1E which states Editors are advised to be cognizant of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people. In other words, the article is not truly a biography covering the whole life of the subject, but is only concerned with this one issue. However, I am not declaring that a consensus in this close as there were insufficient other participants supporting the idea of a name change. On the other hand, nobody positively opposed the suggestion (with the possible exception of Alaynestone whose comment in that regard is unclear to me) so there is no barrier to an editor being bold and making that change outside of this AfD.

Duncan has not generated real (lasting) notability. His only claim to notability was that he had the misfortune of contracting ebola, and traveled to the US. At least one other person after him has done the same. The Ebola virus epidemic that followed his arrival in the US was quickly suppressed, and most of the 'keeps' in the previous delete discussion [13] were based on WP:CRYSTALBALL predictions that never came to pass.

• Keep per previous AfD, this guy is notable alright, he was a toxic migrant, most likely motivated to travel to the US for better healthcare after handling an infected victim, and he lied to medical staff about being exposed to the virus. I also recall that the CDC departed from stated geographical containment procedures by keeping travel open and despite having billions in the CDC budget they dropped the ball in preparing first responders. I don't recall how much of the information I read was RS, but this and the main article should be revisited with a keen eye for exposing policy failures. 009o9 (talk) 04:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @009o9: The goal is not to remove the information; the problem is that he isn't notable and worthy of his own article. Rather, he is a part of the Ebola virus cases in the United States, and the article there contains all of the relevant information about him. It isn't like the information is just going to go away; it is that he isn't a notable person, he's just someone who was connected to a notable event. See also WP:BLP1E. Titanium Dragon (talk) 18:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Ebola virus cases in the United States. WP:BLP1E doesn't strictly apply (and I'm not willing to stretch the "recently deceased" clause to cover this article), but the principle behind the policy is still apt: individuals who are merely a small part of a larger story with no further biographical context are better treated in the context of that story. I find the Keep !vote above disturbingly incompatible with WP:NPOV. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:48, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No long-term notability. Notable for getting sick in the midst of a popular press panic. Comments by User:009o9 blatantly racist comments and WP:POVPUSHING should be included as grounds for deletion. Referring to someone as a "toxic migrant" is totally unacceptable. On another note, why would someone travel to the US for healthcare when the US healthcare system is one of the most expensive in the world? Arguing a keep on the basis that it serves the political interests of someone is astounding. AusLondonder (talk) 02:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@AusLondonder When you say "blatantly racist," what "race" are you referring to? As far as I'm concerned, migration/immigration is a policy issue plain and simple. He did not just get sick, he was living with someone who died from Ebola four days before he left Liberia, and lied about that contact (carrying her to the ambulance) during his screening. Duncan also had relatives throughout the US, but prior to the outbreak had never visited any of them and only made those plans two weeks before he arrived.[14] Do you realize how expensive that kind of air travel is? As for the cost of the US healthcare system, the point is irrelevant, emergency rooms must accept everyone, regardless of nationality and ability to pay. Duncan was patient zero in the United States and exposed massive failures in immigration and medical policy. 009o9 (talk) 04:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think your comment were crass and not relevant to the debate. I fail to understand how being a "toxic migrant" would make someone notable in any case. AusLondonder (talk) 05:39, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This was just posted by The Washington Post, one minute ago.[15] Besides the previous AfD failure,[16], the article, Ebola virus cases in the United States is WP:TOOBIG at 118kb and much of the Duncan content should be offloaded here. The "Ebola virus" article is obviously going to continue to grow. As for the WP:BLP1E argument, the Duncan article passes item #3, the John Hinckley, Jr example. 009o9 (talk) 05:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That article says that the hospital was unprepared for an ebola patient. What does that have to do with Duncan, except that Duncan was unlucky enough to be the patient? Outside of entering the US with ebola, is there anything about Duncan's biography that is notable and encyclopedic, or even unusual compared to the thousands that died from ebola in Africa? Geogene (talk) 17:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the context of the Ebola virus, his role was insubstantial so WP:BLP1E does apply. AusLondonder (talk) 05:37, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Shows policy failures and is a nationally notable story. Ebola story is too long to absorb this material too. Billy Hathorn (talk) 23:31, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of the Duncan article is duplicated (word for word) in the Ebola Virus in the US article, and there's no content in the Duncan bio "about policy failures", etc., so I don't see the argument to keep. Geogene (talk) 23:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. While clearly WP:BLP1E, the key phrase is 'if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles'. This was a very significant event, and this individual's part in it, albeit mostly inadvertent, was a key part of the event. Onel5969 ^{TT me}
• Delete and redirect to Ebola virus cases in the United States. The "event" was the Ebola crisis, not this person traveling to the US. --Randykitty (talk) 12:44, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Ebola virus cases in the United States is already WP:TOOBIG. In addition, TED's relevance isn't simply passive ("just got sick"). His movements and actions that lead to the first U.S. ebola outbreak, his interactions with Presbyterian, and the controversy surrounding how his apartment was handled, are all components of the story. Alaynestone (talk) 15:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If "he got sick" doesn't cover it, then "he got sick, and was made a scapegoat" certainly does. But all that stuff about Presbyterian not being able to handle it and, his apartment, are out of scope for his bio article, they belong in the main article, Ebola virus cases in the United States, or some other spinoff. This is a biography. There's no bio here to write about, other than his getting sick, and that's all in the main article already. Geogene (talk) 18:40, 18 September 2015 (UTC

Disagreements on semantics aside, you and I agree that x pieces of information are notable. All we're really debating is where they live, which is fairly minor for such a long AfD. You say it goes in the main article; I say (again) that's great but the article is already too long and needs to be broken out into sub pages, particularly given the potential for that page to continue to grow. TED is a concise heading for the page (vs. "First U.S. Ebola patient" or something else much less encyclopedic). The notable information needs to stay, and it needs to live in a place that is helpful to researchers. He meets the other criteria the other keep voters have made above. Still voting keep, but mostly, I think we're spending more brain power and time on this than it's worth. Alaynestone (talk) 18:55, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and redirect to Ebola virus cases in the United States. Duncan is simply not notable and the article runs afoul of WP:BLP1E - he's not notable, the event he was connected with was, and the other article has enough information about him to render his own article redundant. Titanium Dragon (talk) 18:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Excellent analysis by Alaynestone, the article is not a bio, more fitting is WP:PERPETRATOR. Renaming the article referencing,"First U.S. Ebola patient", "U.S. Ebola Patient Zero" or the like is a good idea. There is enough contradicting information in various articles as to TED's motives in the press, had he survived, he would likely have been prosecuted. (I.e., abruptly quitting his job with no explanation, purchasing a very expensive airfare (2 week lead) to visit children he'd never visited before -- or the alternative story that he rushed over to the U.S. to marry someone -- all after living with an ebola victim.) This was not "just a guy who happened to get sick," he's a case study in selfishness who risked his family's lives when he lied to customs officials. 009o9 (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep preferable or redirect alternately -- at least as important as, say Typhoid Mary. Issue is not if people still know him by name -- it is whether his actions and their consequences generated sufficient notability, which I would say they did. I also commend @Alaynestone for his analysis. Quis separabit? 23:44, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Intensity and breadth of coverage at the time carry this article past WP:GNG. The story has generated ongoing coverage, as the response to the disease outbreak is analyzed. Long-term impact is now required when a story is sufficiently important when it occurs, rather, it is a factor that can indicate notability. In this case, however, there was impact on treatment policies recommended and adopted by other hospitals in the crises period.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:34, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is an index case of the best-publicized infectious disease outbreak in many years. There is far too much information to be merged elsewhere. This is an extremely well-sourced article. Citing ONEEVENT would eliminate all articles of famous sick people. Bearian (talk) 13:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The additional citations include articles and news coverage from established industry publications and journals such as Oil & Gas Journal, Offshore Engineer, E&P Magazine and World Oil. In further support of HWCG's notability, the organization has been invited to testify in front of various US Government committees on the progress in offshore safety since Deepwater Horizon (citations with links to this testimony are included in the entry).

• Still keep You can vote only once As a note for anyone trying to search for additional sources/information, the organization was formerly called Helix Well Containment Group in the years immediately following Deepwater Horizon and seems only recently dropped down to HWCG. The linked search results for "hwcg llc company" in the previous comment use too narrow of a search term to get a full picture of coverage, as many recent news mentions just say "HWCG." To get the full sense of notability, it's necessary to evaluate coverage for both Helix Well Containment Group and HWCG together (although Helix Well Containment Group is no longer the organization's correct name). In that sense, you will see the organization has been covered by NPR, National Geographic, the New York Times and the Houston Chronicle, in addition to the sources already cited in the entry. For example, National Geographic called HWCG's containment system one of the "most hopeful energy developments" of 2011.^[1]. This coverage doesn't appear in the narrower search above, as it uses the organization's old name. Cdevwrites (talk) 15:38, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:INDAFD, the word "Adahunik" gives LOTS of results for some company, but not a Bengali drama series, and the Bengali word "আধুনিক" gives Bengali sources that also appear to NOT be speaking about a drama series. "Apurba Banerjee" gives unrelated results. "Kaberi Bagh" gives no results. "Abhishek Bagh" gives no results. "Rimjhim Gupta" IS an actress, but no news is found in connection with this project.

This article is a mess, to put it lightly. It reads vaguely like my college notes from freshman year. This content is covered in a much more comprehensive and encyclopedic manner at GDP#Determining GDP. Since the components of GDP and the methods of calculation are crucial to understanding the concept, this is not a good candidate for a split. ~ Rob^Talk 02:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm weakly opposed to a redirect. There has been at least weak consensus that WP:NOTGUIDE applies to redirects in the past. I would consider that redirect to suggest that the reader will find guide-like content on the target page, which they will not. Also, GDP does not contain any discussion of the processes used to actually measure GDP as this redirect would suggest (i.e. what the various governmental agencies do to collect data). It only discusses calculating the value if you already know the values of components. Pinging Hisashiyarouin in case they care to comment on this. ~ Rob^Talk 03:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The camp itself may be notable, but the article isn't about the camp. It's about an alleged atrocity that hasn't, as far as I can tell, had a single shred of hard evidence put forward to prove it ever actually happened and which can join the serried ranks of conspiracy theories (the British apparently did it at the behest of the Armenians, an unbelievably unlikely story) and urban legends. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:38, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless WP:RS can be provided. I have no doubt that following the campaign in Palestine, the British had a lot of POWs and it may be that a few went blind while imprisoned. I suspect that this is a story that has been greatly exaggerated, if not a plain HOAX. While this was the period before the Geneva Conventions, the British were used to keeping POWs in camps. This happened with captured Germans. I therefore doubt that the British would be incapable of dealing with their Turkish WWI prisoners.

Of course it would be notable if 15,000 soldiers had been blinded, especially if they'd been deliberately blinded. But there's no reliable evidence for this incredibly far-fetched story. It seems to be a typical myth that has grown in the telling and is taken as fact by some with no real attempt to question its veracity or gather evidence. If it had happened then it is inconceivable that there would be no reliable sources. The "source" you cite says: "Because the British were brainwashed by Armenians, being told that in a potential new war they could come up against these soldiers again. The solution was massacre..." So the British Empire, which ruled half the world, was brainwashed by a bunch of Armenians into massacring Turkish soldiers, who they'd just defeated, because they might possibly face them again in war? And you expect us to take that as a reliable source? It's about as reliable as Nazi propaganda saying that the Jews were responsible for all the world's ills by hoodwinking every Western government. Those danged Armenians with their supernatural powers of mind control! Pity they didn't use them to stop the Turks massacring them! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:08, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete both - at best these articles seem to refer to a myth that seems to have built up over time which was the probably the result of a far smaller number of prisoners going blind due to a vitamin deficiency caused by a poor diet (see for instance Yucel Yanikdag (2013) Healing the Nation: Prisoners of War, Medicine and Nationalism in Turkey, 1914-1939, p. 160 [22] published by Edinburgh University so meets the req's of WP:RS as far as I can tell). There appears to be some coverage of this topic (i.e. the myth) in Google Books (although I couldn't read the sources so cannot verify the content). Given this I am tempted to say the "myth" itself *might* be notable; however, the manner in which these articles deal with it is entirely different, being the unsourced WP:FRINGE version presented without context. Quite simply unless someone is able to rewrite these really quickly I think they do indeed need to be blown up lest Wikipedia further assist the spread of yet another hoax / myth. I've tagged both as disputed for now to alert readers at least. Anotherclown (talk) 07:08, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete both Seydibesir Event for lack of verifiability and Seydibesir POW Camp because the present article is not about the camp, and it is better to start over (WP:TNT) with an article at the camp's acknowledged name, Sidi Bishr, as TheLongTone suggets. --Bejnar (talk) 03:47, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The best the poor guy can hope for is recognition by the local Pakistani people which he has gotten after over 40 years of service by getting many prestigious awards by the Government of Pakistan.Again,I am willing to improve the article in the future,if and when I see more new info and sources on him.Of course I am a fan and I can try to be objective as Wikipedia wants me to be.Wikipedia policy also allows me to write some articles from a 'fan's point of view'.Thanks Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:02, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An example is Ian Liston (born 4th August, 1948) briefly played Danny Burrows in Coronation Street during 1974. or this one-liner from a extensive review of the stage play The Dame of Sark in The Glasgow Herald of 23 July 1975: Two more Germans of very different types are Nicholas as the suspicious and correct officer, and Ian Liston, as a pathetically young rookie only too eager to display his family photographs.

• Delete since it meets none of the "Other evidence of notability" criteria, it would only be saved by having significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Schmidt is incorrect about the guideline, the mere having of sources is not sufficient. One newspaper article from the hometown paper about their mayor's project and a couple of videos from the local Rhode Island NBC affiliate (channel 10) don't make it. By the way, the video links in the article are dead.

And please, OEN is not an inclusion mandate, and are only listed "attributes to consider" when searching for sources. If you found dead links, you are welcome to fix them. And that your computers's version of chrome does not allow you to watch the two News 10 interviews (my own Chrome works just fine), is a problem with you and your computer, NOT with Wikipedia... which does not mandate Internet explorer only or Chrome only or Firefox or Mozilla only browsers. That "you" cannot personally view sources does not make them non-existent. Try updating your Chrome and your flash player and good luck. And please, Wikipedia does not demand world-wide or country-wide coverage. If WJAR were only some local backwater station, it might be dismissable as "too tiny to matter" that they made the editorial choice to cover a topic notable to their state. A little research reveals WJAR was Rhode Island's first television station and the fourth NBC station in all of New England, and we learn it is the NBC-affiliated television station for the entire state of Rhode Island (est.pop 1,055,173) and expanding into Bristol County, Massachusetts (est. pop 554,19). As Wikipedia does not demand nor require worldwide notability, determinable as notable in and to even a small state such as Rhode Island is just fine. It is a grave injustice to declare an entire state as inconsequential... specially as this NBC station serving nearly 2 million people is not exactly some" minor" church news bulletin. Again, thanks for the smiles. Best of luck in fixing your computer issues. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 16:59, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't a very civil response. --Slashme (talk) 06:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a long on-Wikipedia relationship with, and a great deal of respect for Benjar. We rarely disagree on matters of policy and guideline. So I can only think it was a jest of some sort when he appeared to denigrate an entire state as "local", made a hilariously incorrect statement about my understanding of guideline, and was able to share that he has what must be computer issues when viewing online news sources.
