- Delete Runner-up at Miss USA is pretty good, but it's not enough on its own to claim notability that meets WP:GNG. Unfortunately I cannot find any other info about her that would raise her to level required. Given that it's been over 10 years since her most notable moment, I find it unlikely that further sources will arise. CrispyGlover (talk) 20:41, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- WP:Avoiding harm is an essay and has no apparent bearing as a delete argument, although I see elements of a merge argument. As for the 1E, I suspect this includes the crowning as Miss California USA, the competition on TV in Baltimore, the year-long reign which includes publicity appearances, followed by some kind of a one-year role as Miss USA runner-up. I see this as a merge argument trying to come out here, in spite of what is marked in bold. Unscintillating (talk) 02:56, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge (keep until an editor decides to merge) Runner-up as Miss USA passes ANYBIO#1, and I suspect Miss California USA would be the same as a state with an economy larger than most countries, but we are not required to handle notable topics as standalone articles, nor are content contributors required to implement merges from AfD.

At some level I wish we could keep all articles on female doctors. However, Pack is not a female doctor as far as I can tell, and clearly no where near being a notable one. She was in her 3rd year of undergraduate studies at UC Irvine in 2012. She might be in her 3rd year of medical school, although the interview I found with her from 2014 in a totally non-reliable source did not seem to suggest she was in medical school, it mainly spent time posting pictures of her in bikinis. Her role as Miss California USA is not enough to be notable, and her role in America's next top model, does not seem to cut it either. Her modeling career to date also does not seem to rise to the level of notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:54, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment We do have this [1] from October 2013 that suggests that Pack had not yet graduated from UC Irvine at that point. So she would not have started medical school until 2014 at the earliest. More to the point it is the level of coverage we are getting, and despite its attempts to say that Pack is a notable model, nothing it says suggests to me she is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep; clearly notable. Honestly, I question whether nominator has done a single Google search of the subject. Just the first page of the first link under "Find Sources" gives:
- I haven't even looked at the subsequent pages, these are three non-trivial articles by three national publications, over three years. And she was Miss California 2012. And she was on America's Next Top Model, a national TV show. Honestly: "I wish we could keep all articles on female doctors"? She's not a doctor, she's a model. Sure, she doesn't meet notability standards as a notable doctor. Well, neither does Barack Obama meet notability standards as a lawyer. Strangely enough, not everyone becomes notable as what they went for university for. That's not a reason to delete an article about someone who clearly meets WP:GNG. --GRuban (talk) 20:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: As noted by GRuban, passes notability with the three sources he's provided. Nominator (who's created over 2 dozen boilerplate AfDs in the past week) is too focused on the occupation of the subject and not enough on the sourcing of the article. pbp 12:27, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- This is not a mass nomination. This is a single nomination of a single article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:25, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I am not seeing how the claim that the sources pass GNG works. One source basically is "the daughter of someone notable won a local beauty pageant, and we only care because he dad was notable", notability is not inherited, and so coverage that is just about incidental actions of family members of celebrities does not help towards GNG. Others are from Diamond Bar sources, which is where she is from, and is the ultimate in local coverage. Another is a media interview with her. Interviews with the subject do not count for passing GNG, only articles about the subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At one time, Wikipedia consensus accepted Winnipeg as a city large and notable enough to give its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass just for serving as city councillors, because it was a member of one of the classes of city listed in our article about global cities at the time the discussion was undertaken. However, consensus has now changed: Winnipeg is not named in that article as it exists today, and more recent discussions have established that it is not internationally prominent enough to retain "city councillors are notable" status anymore. Accordingly, the Winnipeg city councillors listed here are no longer appropriate article topics, as they have no stronger claim of notability and are not sourced well enough to claim WP:GNG instead. This affects a significant number of existing articles, so I'll be listing them in small batches rather than all at once. Bearcat (talk) 22:04, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as not meeting WP:NPOL; recent related AfDs closed as delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – @Bearcat and K.e.coffman: I didn't get a reply to my concern at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike O'Shaughnessy. Why would we assess the notability of a municipal politician based primarily on their city's "connectivity measured through 'advanced producer services': accountancy, advertising, banking/finance, and law"? Graham (talk) 02:37, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Graham11: I did not participate in the earlier discussions (around 2008 when some of the Winnipeg city councillors came for deletion), but my interpretation is that at that time these subjects were considered to meet WP:NPOL #1, due to Winnipeg being listed as a global city. Since then the consensus appears to have evolved, so that these city councillors are no longer accepted as qualifying under NPOL #1. So the criteria at this time is that they need to pass GNG for their articles to be kept. This does not appear to be the case, hence I voted delete. I hope this helps. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:25, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Graham, that's not exactly what's happening. The notability of a city councillor is always dependent on meeting WP:GNG through sourcing. However, if a city is in the global city class, then its councillors are extended a presumption of notability — meaning that the article is allowed to stand even if it's not in a fully GNG-passing state of development yet, because there's a reasonable expectation that GNG will be met even if all the necessary work hasn't actually been put in yet, and there's enough broad reader interest in the local politics of major world cities that a broad audience for the article can be reasonably expected. Outside of the global city range, however, there's much less of a guarantee that a city councillor will fully satisfy GNG and less of a guarantee that enough people will be interested in the article to keep the wikimodel working properly — I'm Canadian, for example, and even I can name some of the city councillors in New York City and Washington DC and San Francisco and Chicago and London, because I've heard of them often enough in nationalized or internationalized media coverage, yet at the same time, I couldn't name you most of the city councillors in the suburbs of my own city, because they don't get the same degree of extralocalized coverage. So outside of the global city range, a city councillor does not get an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, but rather their notability and sourceability have to be shown up front before they qualify for inclusion. Technically, any city councillor in any city has the possibility of satisfying WP:NPOL's "major local political figures" criterion if the content and sourcing are good enough — the only difference is in whether the article is allowed to exist before the content and sourcing are good enough (global cities), or has to wait until after the content and sourcing have already been shown as good enough (everywhere else). Bearcat (talk) 15:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I landed here after puzzling through the Jeff Browaty and Mark Lubosch AFDs. My news archive search establishes tat each of each of these 2, and presumably some or all of the others, has had demonstrable impact on municipal affairs (stuff like public smoking regulation; bike lanes). There can be no doubt that have had more impact than most members of the New Hampshire legislature, and yet there are sound reasons for deeming members of provincial legislatures as a category, but not city councilors of cities below a certain significance. Where that border lies is always going to be fuzzy, (I have only been ot Winnipeg once in my life, and know little about it) and yet I have little trouble putting Winnipeg on the "too small" side of that fuzzy line, not least because pop. of metro area is under 1 million, but also because it truly does not have much of a profile in the world. I think that I would iVote to keep a city council member in a city this size if I found that he had played a significant role in shaping something local that became a model for other cities, or if he got even minor attention in the media beyond the region (and even then, only if the attention was for some accomplishment, not because he happened to have the same exact name as a British Prime Minister (I recently iVoted to delete the other Theresa May). I just looked at WP:POLOUTCOMES and it seems pretty good. Feel free to ping me if you think any of the pols on the list merits a closer look. Otherwise, I'm comfortable deleting Winnipeg city councilors with no claim to notability beyond coverage of their political activities in the Manitoba media.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:56, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep.

The nominator's argument would be valid if she were Miss Delaware, happened to be bald, then went back to obscurity. She hasn't, she has continued to get coverage of what is now her career and her life.

Furrer's only claim to even marginal notability is being Miss Arkansas USA. This is no where near enough to make her notable. There is only one source, a source from the pageants themselves. This article is so far below the level of notability I hardly see it worth even being discussed. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:29, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not quite see why this person is notable. She was a contestant of two reality shows, one in Australia and another one in India, and as such was mentioned in the media and interviewed a couple of times.

- Delete. Ten references look impressive at first—until one follows and reads them. #1 is a short "lifestyle" type blurb that's at least primarily about her, but pretty thin stuff. #2-5 don't mention her, not even in passing. #6 is another brief "lifestyle" type blurb. #7 provides the briefest of passing mentions: "...while Sara Arjun’s Misha is irresistibly cute." Not a thing else about her. I would additionally doubt that it would qualify as terribly reliable. #8 does refer to an "Arjun" without a first name, but says that the individual named Arjun plays some type of auto driver, so I kind of doubt that it's referring to a five year old. It seems to be referring to some other "Arjun". #9 is actually about her, but is also a blurb and also looks to be written anonymously, so probably not terribly reliable for a BLP. And #10, once again, doesn't even mention her, not even in the briefest of passing. Before saying something is supported by reliable sources, always check for ref bombing. That appears to be exactly the case here. Most of the cited references don't even mention her once, and what remains is far too thin for any article, but especially a BLP on a young child.

- 2. "Sara, the child artist in the film"
- 3. "it is baby Sara who steals the show"
- 4. "Baby Sara is charm personified"
- 5. "Baby Sara is a darling!"
- 8. "Baby Sara"
- 10. "This film wouldn't be half the film without the abundant charm and screen presence of Sara who plays Tamil."
- Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 06:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I was searching for "Arjun". That's not even entirely certain, as I'm sure there's more than one Sara out there. Regardless, passing references by first name are very trivial mentions, those references certainly are not about her. Trivial mentions and mentions in passing do not contribute to notability, substantial reference material about the subject does. Seraphimblade Talk to me 06:43, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Just to add some FYI titbits here. She is known as "Baby Sara" because Indian cinema distinguishes between adult and child actors by this prefix ("Master", in case of male). So, while we are searching for existence of substantial reference material, we should go for both "Baby Sara" and "Sara Arjun". Nevertheless, like Serpahimblade mentioned here that the Sara mentioned trivially in these articles could be any Sara. Additionally, searching for news on Google about "Sara Arjun" or "Baby Sara" throws up sources that are much about the films she has played a role in. Of course, those cannot be considered "enough" to generate notability for a BLP. I also think it is technically too early (?) for the kid to have a Wikipedia article. But then again, what do we say about Gaten Matarazzo (he's received great coverage, though)? One more thing, Editor 2050 mentioned here that she has won an award. Can we have a source for that?

Delete. Advertorially-toned article about an organization, referenced only to a single entry on the White House blog rather than to any reliable source coverage about it in media. And even that blog entry mostly comprises first-person commentary blurbs by people associated with the group -- so even if we accepted the White House as a valid source because White House, the content of the entry still tilts toward primary sourcing. Something like this might be eligible for an article if it could be written neutrally and sourced over WP:GNG, but Wikipedia does not grant an exemption from our content rules to non-profit organizations just because they do admirable work -- we're an encyclopedia, not a free public relations platform. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source something better -- but this isn't appropriate for inclusion in this form.

- Comment According to [12] an editor in 1983 was "lodged in the Madras Central Prison May 20 to serve a sentence after being convicted of scurrilous writing and contempt of court, ' Indian Express' ..." This happened after a Supreme Court case in regard to accusing the High Court judges of Madras of corruption, at which time an apology was made and ten days later retracted. One of the books covering this case at Google books is dated 1997. [13] ties this journal to a restart of the journal in 2008 using a different name.

Actually at first I just redirected this page because I had three editors tell me that that is what I should do with articles on people whose only claim to any notability was being Miss USA of some state or other. However, since someone reverted this action, I am now nominating this totally unnotable person for deletion.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Basically Lanning shows us everything that is wrong with articles on winners of state Miss USA contests. First off, the coverage of her winning is local. While one of the sources from Houston is a significant paper, it is telling that we only have sources from Houston, this is local news. If Miss Texas USA was a significant title for all of Texas and if winning it was the key, instead of a hometown woman winning it, than we would see sources from Dallas and other places in Texas as well. I think it has now become agreed that Miss whateverstate USA winners are not notable for this. So where does this leave us? It leaves us with her being a local news broadcast figure for a few years, which is not at all by any stretch of the imagination enough to make her notable.

- The DFB-Pokal is definitely not a fully professional tournament. The point of it is to include amateur sides from the lower leagues. A player participating in a cup match would only meet WP:NFOOTBALL if both teams are from a WP:FPL. Secret Agent Julio (talk) 06:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'd argue that on two points. 1. He made his debut for Bayern Munich (a WP:FPL club) not the amateur club. 2. The notability surely lies in the stature of the competition and not the opposition? Liam E. Bekker (talk) 09:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't see how it passes GNG, there are very few articles, just like the last deletion discussion, and they all seem to be short and based off a short quote from his former manager Guardiola. A short comment on a youth player at his former club might become a talented player at some point in the future is not significant coverage. There are no interviews with the player, nor are there any significant articles summarising his career to date, which is to be expected, as he has not actually done anything noteworthy yet.

- Keep appears to meet notability guidelines, having played at the senior level for a pro top-level club, and having some media coverage specifically about him to boot. Together, I believe those two factors make him notable enough for inclusion. CrispyGlover (talk) 20:56, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- His appearance in the DFB-Pokal is entirely irrelevant, per WP:NFOOTY. There is very little media coverage about him other than listing him as another one of Bayern's youth products. Which is exactly the reason why his article on the German Wikipedia was deleted. Secret Agent Julio (talk) 21:32, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - he has not been able to get any significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. As other users have mentioned, much of the coverage is nothing more than routine mentions. The article can easily be restored if he does make his pro debut. Spiderone 08:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for his cup match for a professional side. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 14:47, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- That is entirely irrelevant, as WP:NFOOTY clearly states that only matches between two fully professional teams make a player notable. The cup match he played in was against a team in the Regionalliga, which is not fully professional. Secret Agent Julio (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Secret Agent Julio: I came along hoping to close this. I find many folks making this argument, but NFOOTY does not actually appear to say this. Where are you getting this from? A fair bit of the arguments here hinge on this point. Vanamonde (talk) 09:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This is from consensus from a lot of AfDs historically. Often, young players will get their first appearances in cup competitions for experience. The way we apply NFOOTY there is to consider the relevant leagues the two competing teams were in. For example, in this instance, Benko's one appearance to date was against FC Carl Zeiss Jena, who play in the German regional leagues. A league appearance against this team would not fulfill NFOOTY given that the league the club plays in is not fully professional, therefore it is considered that a cup competition appearance against such a team, even if the other side is from a fully professional league is also not notable enough to demonstrate subject-specific notability. Either way though, Benko has failed to make a league appearance so far and therefore fails NFOOTY. There is still, as was established in the previous GNG, no clear wider coverage beyond multiple regurgitations of the same brief quotes by his manager.

- Delete fails WP:NFOOTY. Many of the keep rationales are inaccurate as just playing a cup match for a pro team isn't enough, it has to be against another pro team. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:58, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, has played as part of the official line-up of a top club in an official competition. If WP:NFOOTY does not consider that notable enough (but considers players who have appeared in third-level professional league games notable), that is a problem with WP:NFOOTY, not a reason to delete this article. —Kusma (t·c) 20:45, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree, playing a few minutes in a 5:0 win against an ametuer team is not extremely signfigant, and does not make one notable. Being a minor match, he was substituted in as a test to gauge his talent (which is why he has not started/been on the bench for any more important matches yet). WP:NFOOTY prevents such minor appearances like this from being notable for a reason. Also, NFOOTY is an official guideline based off a long-standing consensus, this is not the place to argue against it. His article was deleted on the German Wikipedia as they understand he is just a youth prospect, who eventually may warrant an article, but not at the moment.

- Delete. Local sheriffs are not automatically eligible for Wikipedia articles just because they can be locally sourced as having existed — all sheriffs who exist at all could always be locally sourced as having local prominence. To qualify for a Wikipedia article, rather, a sheriff has to be extralocally sourced as having notability that approaches national in its scope. If coverage in The New York Times or the Washington Post could be shown, there would certainly be a case for inclusion — but if Shreveport, just 28 miles away from Minden, is the most "extralocal" coverage you can come up with, then that's just not enough.

- Every single sheriff or police chief on the entire planet could always claim to be "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" if the expected range and scope of local coverage were all it took. Which is why local coverage is not all it takes: the coverage is not "significant" enough to pass GNG or NPOL unless and until it snowballs far beyond the purely local. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." It doesn't require that the coverage be national or international. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:21, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- For a person who does not have an automatic claim of notability under any subject-specific inclusion test, but must rely solely on the existence of media coverage as their notability claim, purely local coverage most certainly is not sufficient to pass GNG. Smalltown mayors do not get Wikipedia articles just because local coverage exists in their local paper. Outside of the extremely narrow range of internationally famous global cities, city councillors do not get Wikipedia articles just because local coverage exists in their local paper. Local neighborhood committees do not get Wikipedia articles just because local coverage exists in their local paper. Local law enforcement officials do not get Wikipedia articles just because local coverage exists in their local paper. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just because local coverage exists in their local paper. And on and so forth: local-interest topics which cannot claim passage of an SNG by virtue of a specific accomplishment, but are relying solely on the existence of media coverage as the basis of their notability claim, do require that coverage to expand beyond the exclusively local.

- Keep Local official with some 50 sources cited. Rules do not say sources have to be non-local. The type of local official is not specified in the rules. No mention of size of city or county either. Local sources perfectly acceptable.64.134.51.41 (talk) 16:37, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per my DEPROD. Wikipedia does indeed cover subjects with local notability meeting WP:GNG because locals are clearly interested in this stuff and there is no limit on the size of the encylopedia. As far as I know WP:AUD applies only to institutions, is somewhat controversial and should not be applied to other topics. ~Kvng (talk) 14:10, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The standard for demonstrating that a person of purely smalltown local notability should be covered in an encyclopedia or not is not whether locals in his own town might care — it's whether non-locals, such as people who live 15 states away or in other countries entirely, might have any substantive reason to care. Bearcat (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not reading any of that in WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Both appear to be met in this case because there is significant coverage in reliable sources. There is nothing that says a local source can't be reliable. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? ~Kvng (talk) 21:55, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Nobody said local sources are inherently unreliable — but what local sources can't necessarily do is confer notability by themselves on a topic that would be expected to garner local coverage. Every mayor who has ever existed at all in any place on earth that has ever had a mayor would always be eligible for a Wikipedia article if purely local coverage were enough, because all mayors always generate local media coverage. What's necessary to get a mayor into Wikipedia, however, is evidence that they're more notable than the norm for some substantive reason, such as (a) serving in a city large enough that there's some broad reader interest in its mayors, or (b) being sourceable as having garnered more than just local coverage. It's for the same reasons that we can't necessarily keep an article about every municipal fire chief or police sheriff or city councillor or non-winning candidate for political office or pub rock band or restaurant or comic book store that exists at all, even though local coverage of such topics exists — if the topic doesn't have any objective claim to passing any of our subject-specific notability criteria, but instead you're shooting for "notable because coverage exists", then that coverage does still have to demonstrate a credible context for considering the topic more notable than the norm (i.e. the coverage expands beyond the purely local, or it demonstrates something unique and distinctive about the topic.)
- Not all possible types of sourcing automatically cover off both "reliable" and "notability-conferring". There are some types of sourcing which are reliable enough to be valid support for content, but cannot in and of themselves be the GNG — and the purely expected level of local coverage of a topic is one of those types. Bearcat (talk) 18:18, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, the bar is sometimes lower for WP:V purposes than it is for WP:N purposes. My contention here is that WP:GNG is met here because there is significant multiple reliable sources independent of the subject cited. To convince me otherwise you need to make an argument that the coverage is not significant or the sources are not reliable, not independent or not abundant enough (and you should try to use fewer words too, if possible, to avoid TL;DR problems). ~Kvng (talk) 15:24, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Meets Local Politician notability with independent sources of the subject. Has multiple sources at that. There is no requirement for "beyond purely local" in the Wikipedia rules. There is nothing about "notability-conferring" in the rules. 24.153.207.70 (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- If a person's basic notability claim does not exceed purely local interest, then yes, there is a requirement that the sourcing go beyond purely local. If local coverage were all it took, for example, then we would have to keep an article about every single person who ever served on any town or city council in existence — yet we restrict the notability of city councillors to those who can be shown as having more than just purely local notability, and we restrict the notability of mayors to those who can be shown as having more than just purely local notability, in both cases on the basis of either (a) the city surpassing a certain minimum size, or (b) the sourceability expanding beyond the purely local. And yes, there is a difference between sources that can count toward the conferral of notability and sources which can merely verify stray facts after notability has already been demonstrated by stronger ones — for example, an unsigned local garage band does not get over WP:NMUSIC just because the local alt-weekly printed a concert review of their show at the local Elephant and Castle, but once they've signed to a label and released a hit single and won a Grammy Award and passed WP:GNG for those achievements, then that same concert review can be cited in the new article as supplementary verification that their first ever show took place at the Elephant and Castle.

- Keep as a boxoffice nut this site is great in that it actually has more accurate International numbers than other sites like boxofficemojo which, since it has been taken over by Brad Brevort, has really been unreliable (I was a fan of that site since the Brandon Gray days). So because its being used more and more as a citation for boxoffice grosses it only makes sense for it to have its own page. A little off topic here back awhile back I asked Ray Subers at BOM why the numbers on his site were always behind and he told me via E-Mails that We don't have the time to constantly bother distributors for International numbers. If they come in they come in. He also told me that if there as a discrepancy between BOM and Thenumbers to use the numbers since they’re able to nag these distributors more often than we are. Ryan Urban of thenumbers told me their International tracking is more accurate than BOM's in an E-mail he sent me (this was in regards to why they have a different number for Rogue Nation than BOM has) where he stated Yes, our numbers are accurate. We have more complete international tracking than Box Office Mojo. If you compare these two charts, you can see that we have international grosses for some territories that are missing from BOM's international total.
Examples: Indonesia, India and Mexico.
http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Mission-Impossible-Rogue-Nation#tab=international
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=mi5.htm
Slight variations in total box office for some countries between the two charts are the result of different reporting sources and exchange rates.

- Delete The analysis of the sources by AKS.9955 is spot on. Many of them are clearly not reliable or secondary sources. (GNG requires significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject). In addition I looked at the ones presented earlier
- Huffpost interview Firsly an interview is a primary source. Secondly this is one of the HuffPost "blogs" which I tend not to trust after my encounter with a paid editor who was actually writing articles on HuffPost blogs and then creating a Wikipedia articles for his clients. These are apparently not subject to the same editorial standards as those by a staff contributor.
- Trivial mention in BBC Sorry but this is a trivial mention.
- Nairaland forum This is a forum which is not a reliable source at all.
- Usergenerated content on Globalvoices Not reliable as Globalvoices allows anyone to publish on their platform, essentially reducing it to a user generated content/blog. Also an interview which is a primary source.
- KonnectAfrica blog This looks like a blog and is essentially a WP:SPS. In addition, this is an interview again which is a primary source.

- Delete. on two grounds: first, non-notble based on the analysis of the sources. Second, clear promotionalism. This manner of writing an "article" based on a multiplicity of very low grade sources is a standard technique of promotional editors, paid and unpaid. The real give-away, though is in the Early life and education paragraph: the emphasis on her early motivations, express in terms designed to make an emotional appeal, is the real staple of paid & unpaid promotional editors. You'll find it in the same place in thousands of articles. It's not a ring or conspiracy--it's a common trope learned from current techniques of advertising. We need to eliminate it from WP, and any article on an actual notable person contaminated with such stuff needs to have it removed; if it's too pervasive to be removed, it needs to be rewritten.

- Delete Please do ping me if the sourcing situation changes but as things stand, I think we should not keep an entry on a living person on the hope that someday someone will identify and translate enough sourcing to make the entry balanced and reliable. I'm regretful about this, I certainly love to see well-sourced entries on underrepresented topics like this but if the entry's unreliable, then it's no help to the encyclopedia. And while my Portuguese is limited, what I gather from the sources we have does not suggest they'd be enough even if someone did translate them. (Not that anyone asked me, but arguably the effort involved in translation might be better spent sourcing one of the many, many indisputably wiki-notable subjects of systemic bias not currently represented on WP. Or not, per personal preference--I just find translating pretty taxing and I would not want to do very much of it on an entry that might get deleted in the end anyway!)

No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The references are not independent, and no notability is added by external links such as a listing at the GitHub hosting service and a page which merely gives a three-sentence inclusion in a list. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:28, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
---
KEEP: There are two links to external and trusted news sources (heise.de, highscalability.com and oschina). If you go to twitter or github you can see that a lot of people are using the software and found it interesting. The code is available - it's clearly not a hoax or vapoware. What else is required to proof notability?
Here is a list of independent articles/discussions around EventQL [From the wikipedia policy: Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.]:
Please also consider that EventQL is the open-source version of BigQuery and compare with the BigQuery page. The BigQuery page does not add _any_ references or external links. For EventQL you can go to GitHub and check that it has received a lot of interest from developers, for BigQuery you have to rely on google press releases (it's the only linked information). Why are different rules applied here?
Either both pages should be deleted or the EventQL page should be kept. Deleting EventQL but keeping BigQuery would be highly unfair and uncompetitive to open-source. 62.251.60.126 (talk) 14:33, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Being "unfair and uncompetitive" is irrelevant, as Wikipedia is not a marketing tool. If you think another article should be deleted, then you are free to propose deletion of that article, but the decision whether to delete EventQL or not will be made on the merits or lack of merits of that article, not on the basis of another article which may or may not qualify for inclusion.

A band with an article here apparently since since 2011 but actually a very recent article for which its creator has cut and pasted content from a 2011 article complete with tags - but no evidence of any notability. A very recent addition of several refs provides no new evidence of notability despite the editor involved removing a PROD tag. . Refs are either promotional, advertising or blogs. Fails WP:GNG .

- This is very unfair to call out for a hoax, when this band is in fact are alive and kicking, and selling its music on literally any music platform you search them through. Also, I went through the refs.. Chromium Sun, Metal Soundscapes, Kronos etc, are neither promotional/advertising nor blogs. Even more so, the band is referenced and listed in Encyclopaedia Metallum.

The result was delete. There's a powerful argument here that there's no authoritative source for the use of this term in the math world.

- Merge to Iterated function#Abelian property and Iteration sequences. This topic occurs in a few different places on WP: Cyclic function, Cyclic order#Cyclic Functions, and Iterated function#Abelian property and Iteration sequences. My impression is that math and physics folk talk of iterated functions and periodic orbits, whereas computer science folk talk more of cyclic functions. The best content development and context for cyclic functions appears to be in the Iterated function#Abelian property and Iteration sequences section, so that would seem the best target for a merge. --Mark viking (talk) 23:43, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. That doesn't seem a suitable redirect target to me. What is described at Iterated function#Abelian property and Iteration sequences only refers to the pointwise behaviour of functions, not to that of the iterated function. Take for example the permutation (bijection) on the positive integers whose decomposition in cycles is (1 2)(3 4 5)(6 7 8 9)... Let's call it π. Then for any positive integer i, the orbit i, π(i), π2(i), ... is a cycle. Yet π is not a cyclic function, since πn(n2) ≠ n2 for all n > 0. By the way, the section Cyclic Functions in the article Cyclic order was recently added by the creator of the article under discussion here. I've never encountered the term in the sense used here, and doubt that it is in significant use for this concept, so I'd be inclined to remove that section. For a very different meaning, see here. --Lambiam 22:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Whatever happens, the current "definition" seems to be somewhat original to me. There are many uses of "cyclic" in the literature, which range from just meaning a function that oscillates, such as sine, to meaning a multivariable function that takes the same value if the variables are shifted in a cyclic fashion. The AoPS source seems problematic, and I hope they do not become the next MathWorld in terms of making up original terminology. — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If the concept lacks a standard name, is that a reason why there should be no article about it? The article need to have some name. This is about functions that generate a finite cyclic group under the operation of composition. Michael Hardy (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, if it is not covered in any literature we can find, we shouldn't have an article on it. Otherwise we would have articles on all sorts of unremarkable mathematical topics. The general standard is that we should only have an article once there is enough interest in the literature to justify one. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:33, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The notion seems useful, but I don't think the name "cyclic function" is standard. I edited the article slightly but I don't know that it's enough to save it. - CRGreathouse (t | c) 05:34, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Nonnotable concept. The concept would, at first sight, appear to be most of interest in discrete mathematics, in particular for functions on finite domains. But the latter are easily seen to coincide with the bijections. I can't think of any interesting properties (beyond being the generator of a finite cyclic group under composition, which by itself is a somewhat boring observation) that applies to these "cyclic functions" in general, which may go a long way to explaining why we can't find anything about them in the literature under any name. --Lambiam 20:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and modify as editors above have noted other definitions in sourced literature that should be mentioned. There is clearly no standard definition of the term, but one of an encyclopedia's main uses, especially in technical work, is to be a guide when something is encountered in a publication that doesn't give adequate context, such as for example in an isolated excerpt from the Bostock/Chandler textbook above. SamuelRiv (talk) 15:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, there are a bunch of unrelated uses of the term. In many cases, these uses derive from the definitions of the English words "cyclic" and "function". That is a very poor basis for an article. If there are established "technical definitions" of the term, that requires sources, which I'm not certain exist. Sławomir Biały (talk) 15:54, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Given that the original source is AoPS, the right place to look for sources would be in the math competition literature. I have a relevant book or two at home, I will try to remember to see if I can find anything there. --JBL (talk) 16:56, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay, I just found a decent reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vivek378 (talk • contribs)
- The issue is that this term seems to be made up by the Art of Problem Solving site, so pointing to a book by the same author doesn't show much. We had similar issues with MathWorld, which liked to make up terminology not used in the actual literature. If there is no source independent of AoPS that uses this term in this way, then I would view the article as a neologism, and so I would be in favor of deletion. I did some quick searching, but I could not find a reference apart from AoPS. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:54, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, as per above: it doesn't seem to be notable, it seems to be the invention of a single person, with no other citations. More seriously though: no examples at all are given, aside from involutions. I can actually think of a pile of additional examples, all well known from the study of topological groups. However, these additional examples are "well known" or "obvious" or have famous, distinct names and theories of their own, e.g. cyclic groups. So, for this article: no theory is developed: what can one do with 'cyclic functions'? Do they have any interesting properties? Are they applied in any field of study? It sounds like an idiosyncratic invention with no depth to it. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 20:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. I'm still not convinced there is a notable topic for an article here. The sources cited in the current article are clearly pretty marginal (an Art of Problem Solving blog post, a dictionary, and an entire book entitled "Intermediate algebra" also published by AoPS). Such sources alone do not establish notability. Even the most permissive criteria actually require independent sources, and we do not have suitably independent sources here. The chant of "Google it" turns up very little of relevance to the subject of this article. For example, one of the google hits refers to the "cyclic function of the kidneys". That has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of this article. Many other Google and scholar hits are of this kind, or are incidental combinations of the words "cyclic" and "function". So, absent more solid and specific sourcing, I am inclined to vote delete. Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:51, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - What the nom is referring to is the editor moving her name from near the bottom of the cast list to near the top. This grossly exaggerates the size of the role the subject had in the films in question. I've reverted those edits. As for notability, the subject doesn't appear other than by name once in several of the references, and she isn't mentioned otherwise in others. She did have a starring role in a film, but it appears to be a NN film, as its not even mentioned in the article of the person it's about. Basically, she's an adult film actress who fails WP:NACTOR and WP:PORNBIO. MSJapan (talk) 17:37, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully the author can bring more info that will do so. As it is right now it only talks about half the outbreak, the storms around Grand Rapids. This only makes them notable in that area (not national or international news), and seeing how they’re only EF0-EF1 storms, their notably had very likely already waned there enough that they'd already stopped talking about it as well. Lastly, a bunch of its current info is already covered in the monthly list article (with better detail). On a side note I do support Jdcomix suggesting of starting the "Late August 2016 tornado outbreak" (or "Late August 2016 Kokomo tornado outbreak") article.--Halls4521 (talk) 12:10, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment – Hello. I am the one who created the article and I'm not familiar with how articles surrounding storms or tornadoes are determined notable or not. I decided to take on this challenge after these series of tornadoes passed through near where I live. There are quite a bit of reliable sources discussing this outbreak, including this one from the Associated Press/New York Times (international press) and NBC Nightly News. The tornadoes passed through some of the most populated areas in Michigan without injuries (though they were only EF0s and EF1s, it is very uncommon for tornadoes to rip through our downtown metropolitan area). I'll see if I can provide more to this article to make it more suitable for Wikipedia. The NBC video tells of other tornadoes that occurred as well, though the majority of them occurred near Grand Rapids. I would gladly expand the article to include those events. Sorry if I wasted anyones time with this article, like I said I'm new to the storm/tornado side of Wikipedia :).--WMrapids (talk) 01:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally speaking, we usually give articles to major outbreaks with at least a few strong tornadoes or outbreaks where at least one significant tornado (EF2 or stronger) strikes a major metropolitan area. Most outbreaks do not get articles. From what I've seen of articles, I wouldn't recommend an article for anything less significant than the April 2014 North Carolina tornado outbreak. TornadoLGS (talk) 04:31, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @TornadoLGS: With that article, there were about 11 tornadoes. The NBC video says other tornadoes came from the same storm in Ohio and other states. This article also shows that the Grand Rapids outbreak's 6 tornadoes was about half of what Michigan sees on average annually happening all in one day. I'm not sure of what our state's largest outbreak number was, but the 1953 Flint–Beecher tornado outbreak had 8 spread across Michigan in one day (albeit they were stronger tornadoes). The 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak was probably the largest in Michigan's history with about 12 tornadoes in one day. Looking at this site, I believe this outbreak was the third largest in Michigan's history, although the tornadoes may not be as strong as in other states, F0 and F1 tornadoes are the most common here.--WMrapids (talk) 16:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The total number of tornadoes alone is often less important a factor than the significant tornadoes. A single EF3 tornado may be more notable than ten EF0 and EF1 tornadoes. The article I link to was not much larger than this one but it was more notable because it produced several significant tornadoes, one of which was a killer. Weak tornadoes generally do not warrant much consideration. Comparisons to older outbreaks should be taken with a grain of salt since before the 1980s we missed most weak tornadoes, so many older outbreaks were larger than records indicate. TornadoLGS (talk) 16:55, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @TornadoLGS: That makes sense since the 2011 New England tornado outbreak had only 7 tornadoes but it had an EF3 that caused casualties. But why do articles like the 2000 Brady, Nebraska tornado, the 2006 Westchester County tornado, the 2001 Myrtle Beach tornadoes and the 1997 Miami tornado exist then? There are many more on the list of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks article.--WMrapids (talk) 00:07, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Another comment – This article is not passes WP:GNG:
- "Significant coverage" (addresses the topic directly and in detail)
- "Reliable"
- "Sources"
- "Independent of the subject"
- "Presumed"
I find it interesting how my article is nearly identical to the 2006 Westchester County tornado article (size, amount of people affected, few injuries), yet the 2006 article is a featured article. I would like to add more to this article as well as the damage assessments and costs should be revealed soon. There is also plenty of media from the National Weather Service that would be nice in this article as well. If I could have some help improving the article and maybe not hurrying to delete it (WP:Deadline), I think this article would be a decent one for the history of Michigan tornadoes. Like I said, it's not often that we get half of the annual average of tornadoes in one day, so this is pretty notable for this region.--WMrapids (talk) 05:12, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @WMrapids, the 2006 Westchester County tornado is well written, unlike the page you created. Please ONLY create articles for outbreaks that have multiple EF3+ tornadoes, and I hope this can be useful in the future. HurricaneGonzalo | Talk | Contribs 20:00, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The Westchester tornado article probably should not have been created. That it is a featured article is the only reason I do not intend to nominate it for deletion as well as this one. Regardless, that argument falls under WP:OTHERSTUFF. This outbreak may have been a bit out of the ordinary for Michigan but it is by no means unprecedented or highly unusual. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply-@WMrapids, while I hope you'll be able to prove the article's notability and improve it in time, I think you might have misunderstood a key point. Almost all the articles (existing and proposed) mentioned have higher ranked tornadoes based on destructive strength/severity of damage (only the 1997 Miami tornado had around the same strength as this outbreak). Example 1: The city I was born in, Cincinnati, Ohio had a tornado recently. It didn't warrant an article not (just) because it was just one tornado, but because it was considered a weak tornado (EF0). Example 2: One of the other times Cincinnati was hit by one was in 1969. On one hand your article is more worthy of existing than one for it since it has more reliable references found for it than the older storm (so far), but on the other hand an article for it would be more worthy because that storm was a F3-F4 (strong-possibly violent; now a days an EF3-EF4), definitely significant (EF2/F2 or higher), and (despite the low count) is one of the deadliest to hit it's "MET" area since 1950. While EF1/F1 and lower can be deadly, they are also considered really weak storms. I would suggest reading the Fujita scale and Enhanced Fujita Scale articles concerning tornadic strength and why the higher rankings are more notable. Also see the August list for an example of usual tornado listing/charting.--Halls4521 (talk) 02:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- This is not a convincing argument and does not address WP:BLP requirements for high quality sources, to wit: "Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons...such material...must adhere...strictly to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies: Neutral point of view (NPOV), Verifiability (V), No original research (NOR)...be very firm about the use of high-quality sources " (the underline is mine).
- Page views are not even considered in any content policies or notability guidelines (per WP:GNG). Asserting she is a popular performer generally or on social media without reliable sources is a POV statement. Twitter is not considered a reliable source per WP:RS (lacks independent reporting standards). Instagram is not considered a reliable source (lacks independent reporting standards), and Facebook is not considered a reliable source (lacks independent reporting standards). To satisfy the requirements for BLP, the subject must have acceptable reliable sourcing RS that bring it to GNG or BIO standards. Steve Quinn (talk) 05:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above two comments. 173.70.163.96 (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the arguments for keep are very unconvincing and do not address BLP requirements for high quality sources. The arguments for keep in the last Afd are also very unconvincing. One editor in the last AfD claims "While nice, non-industry coverage is not a policy nor a guideline." in fact it is very much connected to policy and guidelines because "non-industry coverage" translates into independent coverage which is a requirement for BLP in that it must satisfy GNG or even BIO. The same editor continues with. "It is reasonable that she would receive coverage in and for the industry for which she works". I agree that it is reasonable in the sense of the word, but not reasonable when using this coverage for indicating notability. This person then finishes with "PORNBIO does not supersede the GNG." I believe that is the only correct portion of this particular Ivote.
- Another Ivoter in the former AfD said, "Sufficient sources suggests she meets the WP:GNG." Well this actually seems to be a misreading of GNG. It is the type of sources that determine the subject passing GNG. In this case, the sources do not suggest or indicate meeting GNG. Industry related promotional materials are not independent of the subject. Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject are what is needed. As an aside, she also fails PORNBIO because she has received only nominations. So, there is no way to establish notability for this person. Redirect after delete is acceptable to me. Steve Quinn (talk) 06:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete She has won no significant awards. There is no significant coverage of her in reliable, independent sources. Neither x number of page views nor x number of social media followers confers notability, and such arguments are based neither in policies nor in guidelines. If those numbers are so impressive (which they aren't), then reliable independent sources would have been so impressed that they would have devoted significant coverage to her (which they haven't). Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
-
- But you left out this part: "We consider evidence from reliable independent sources to gauge this attention. The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article." There is nothing there about gaining attention on social media, because social media coverage is not in agreement with neutrality - a content policy WP:NPOV. Also, Aniston's attention is not noteworthy enough to be covered by mainstream sources, as was stated above. And it appears that nobody is asserting what independent reliable sources will do - this is because Wikipedia and its editors do not engage in foretelling the future WP:CRYSTAL. We can only create articles that reliable sources cover - we do not decide, or even try to decide, what mainstream sources should cover - or we would also be in the POV business of righting great wrongs WP:GREATWRONGS. And the problem with page views, followers, and social media coverage is this is not independent journalistic coverage, upon which notability relies. Steve Quinn (talk) 00:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Multiple Penthouse covers plus the Pet of the Year (not just the month, that would be nothing special), top 5 in an independent pornstar ranking, unique feature as one of only two exclusive contract performers of Naughty America, a big company, in over 10 years. Contract performers are seen as the big queens in the porn industry who have reached it all. (At the same time they are rather rarely getting awards because of their advantage to only shoot e. g. 10-20 films a year and their comfort not to do extreme stuff like others). --SamWinchester000 (talk) 02:51, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with SamWinchester000's excellent explanation for keeping this article.Glenn Francis (talk) 11:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Penthouse covers,and Pet of the Year coverage by Penthouse do not qualify as independent coverage because these are Penthouse Magazine products. There would have to be independent coverage of these in reliable sources to indicate notability. Where are the independent sources stating she is in the top 5, and how much coverage is there? Please post them because I am not seeing this covered in the Wikipedia article. Where are the independent reliable sources that cover her, her contract, and the nature of that contract with Naughty America. (And what the heck is Naughty America?). Again, where are the sources that say "contract performers are seen as the big queens in the porn industry" and these have reached the top? Steve Quinn (talk) 00:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a WP:GNG pass. Subject has received significant coverage. SSTflyer 04:04, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Which sources demonstrate that the subject meets GNG? The fact that Ms Aniston appeared in a magazine is not sufficient; they coverage needs to be about her. I'm not seeing such sources in the article. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:36, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per above keep votes. Sources here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:48, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as I can tell none of these qualify as significant coverage per GNG and BIO. For example, this is what she looks like with and without makeup[26] and the article and the focus is on what the make-up artist can do - it is trivial coverage. This one [27] shows the pictures she has posted on Instagram - trivial coverage. This one [28] is merely an announcement and has trivial coverage anyway. This one is gossip [29] for the fans. And this is passing mention [30]. This is gossip and trivial coverage for the fans [31]. That appears to be all of them. At least now we are having a discussion. Steve Quinn (talk) 00:37, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This ought to be seen as an object lesson as to why posts of raw search results establish nothing. A substantial share of the purported coverage of the subject are nothing more than compilations of gossip column items, with some individual items featuring Jennifer Aniston and others mentioning Nicole Kidman or Nicole Ritchie. Filtering such spurious hits and the many duplicate posts leaves essentially trivial coverage. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.

- It was brought back because of notability issues and to assume otherwise is rather silly, I would suggest you read WP:AGF as well as the !votes here before making such absurd comments. –Davey2010Talk 23:53, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Besides the obvious aspersions just willy nilly cast here and there, it is remarkable bunch of assertions. How does this person meet WP:BIO? And linking genre coverage to GNG does not make sense, nor does linking awards to ANYBIO. By the way, the subject has not won any AVN or XBZ awards, she has only been nominated. The subject has so far failed to meet the criteria for ANYBIO, BIO, and GNG thereby not meeting the requirements for BLP. Steve Quinn (talk) 06:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- You appear to disagree with guideline explaining that award "wins" are not an absolute mandate when it clarifies... "or has been nominated for one several times"... and my math tells me multiple genre nominations are several... thus WP:BIO is met and well-sourced. Schmidt, Michael Q. 07:28, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I disagree with you. But, thanks for clearing that up. None of these awards have the backing of independent reliable sources that demonstrate these awards' significance. I appreciate you linking to the References section of this article - but, as far as I can tell, none of these demonstrate the significance of these awards in order to meet the criteria for ANYBIO. However, if you so desire,
I would appreciate you providing feel free to provide links for the particular references that support your contention, if you so desire . Obviously corporation produced announcements are not independent sources; these contradict the core content policy WP:Neutrality, and WP:Verifiability, yet, even these only provide line-item passing mentions. Steve Quinn (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you stating that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and related film-industry media cannot possible verify a notability assertion of winning an industry award? Even without coverage in The New York Times or Washington Post, it is determinable that most others accept XBIZ and AVN as suitable to confirm that a person has received nominations notable to their genre... even if this is not you.
- While allowed, a personal opinion can often run contrary to our core principles and contrary to project-wide consensus and common sense. However, I do not expect you to agree with either myself or any other who might disagree with your narrowing view. So sorry, I find it unhelpful to blud someone who insists that notability can "only" be determined through mainstream media. Ain't the way this encyclopedia works and grows. Schmidt, Michael Q. 15:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- First of all my personal opinion is not related to GNG, BIO, ANYBIO, or BLP. These have been established by Wikipedia wide WP:CONSENSUS. I have already and previously delineated these [32]. And just so no one is taking my word for it here is the policy (statement) on how consensus works:
Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. For instance, unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right; participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply to articles within its scope.
- This, of course, means that GNG, BLP, and so on apply to this article and every article in WikiProject Pornography. And appealing to a strawman in claiming a "narrowing view" is not an effective argument. However, the references in this article for the awards are certainly narrow in scope - because they are not independent, they are company promotional materials, they have single line item passing mentions. There are not too many ways to say this. I suppose I could reverse the wording or something like that. And bringing in the Academy Awards is, sorry to say, is WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS - these are not under discussion. In any case, many Academy Award winners have already received tons of press before receiving the award and will receive a ton more afterwards; especially afterwards. Also, the awards themselves receive a ton of coverage every year. Compared to these, the press coverage for the AVN and XBIZ award ceremonies is microscopic to nil. And award categories the subject is nominated for has nanometer sized coverage. Steve Quinn (talk) 06:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- One only needs to go to the Wiki-link for Naughty America to find out about that adult film production company. Also, the article here already has a double citation (one to AVN - one of the most notable trade magazines in the adult film industry - and one to the online magazine itself) to the claim that the subject here was ranked highly in an online magazine's list of "Top 25 Hottest Porn Stars", whatever that really ends up meaning. Guy1890 (talk) 06:44, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Nothing short of keep, (yes not even "no consensus") would satisfy me here. In fact, if this closes as anythign other than a keep it would be indicative of an abandonment of wikipedia's mission statement which is to document notable henomenon about our world in an encyclopedic manner. How can someone that draws colossal celebrity-like followings on social media be viewed as anything but notable? If wikipedia has reached the stage where it no longer reflects the real world, it means there is something wrong with either (a) our editors, or (b) our notability guidelines. I really hope that we don't reach that point where we need to go beyond discussions on delete threads into a fundamental insight on the obstructiveness that has grown on sex-related (particularly porn-related) articles Pwolit iets (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- What independent reliable sources with significant coverage do you have that show this subject meets the criteria for WP:BIO and WP:GNG? Please see the discussion above that indicates, so far, no such sources have been presented. Thanks in advance. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- You may not like it, but Subtropical-man is correct. The article is well and properly sourced and thus his opinion well-founded. Rather than demanding someone defend existing consensus, and with the understanding that they have survived there as sources multiple times, you are welcome to take AVN and XBIZ to WP:RSN rather than demand individuals defend them. Schmidt, Michael Q. 15:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- My short answer for now is - these references (and other available sources) have been shown to be unacceptable already for GNG and hence fall far short of high standards required by WP:BLP. Besides, the fact that these article references are materials produced by the company, and hence are not in anyway independent of the awards, there are only single line item passing mentions. So these fail GNG on two fronts or even three fronts, they are not independent, have only passing mention, and they are promotional materials. So you are welcome to find actual reliable sources the demonstrate the wp:significant coverage of these awards, because these references don't make the cut, even though you obviously don't like that. And you may not like this either, but Subtropical man has been shown to be incorrect at least once, and you have been shown to be repeatably incorrect, in just this AfD. - oh, and incorrect in the previous AfD as well. Well, I guess that isn't a short answer after all. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:02, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete when every source mentioned is struck down because it does not match up with what the guidelines require, and when keep !voters merely resort to pile-on, drive-by votes that provide no evidence, it becomes hard for me to see any legitimate reason why the article should be kept. Especially since one keep !voter, after finally running up against a stone wall and being unable to continue his lawyering, instead opted to tip the balance in this discussion by appealing to several editors that he knew would !vote keep. And no, the fact that it was kept at the last AFD does not mean that it must be kept forever. Consensus can, and does, change. Lepricavark (talk) 14:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete instead as none of the Keep votes are fully convincing as they either are mentioning their comments alongside with something else, or not hitting the nail exact regarding independent notability; this is still questionable for the applicable notability and the listed awards are only nominations. SwisterTwister talk 21:00, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment there are only four article references (out of 19) that apply directly to the XBIZ and AVN award nominations per this discussion. These are:
- New Starlet of the Year nomination [33] - scrolling down, only the subject's name is mentioned among 15 other nominees. This is not significant coverage and it is not independent coverage as aN XBIZ promo page.
- Most Outrageous Sex Scene nomination - the link does not work. Anyway these tend to be the same in that the name of the many nominees are listed under one category. This is not significant coverage and it is not independent coverage as a AVN promo page.
- Female Performer of the Year nomination [34] - it is unclear how this source relates to the subject. Using the "find" search function on the browser turns up her name - but the rest of the page surrounding the name is blank. The first pages have information, but further down there isn't any. Anyway - please notice the structure is the same as the first source. It lists only a number of nominees name in any category.
- This source for the fourth nominee category in this article has the same structure - [35]. This is not significant coverage and it is not independent coverage as a XBIZ promo page. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Wait, why do you need multiple sources for the same thing ("only four references") and why are you actually only looking at the sources for her nominations? Indeed, nobody was using the nominations as an argument, and I thought those don't convince you, either. So why do you stick with nominations you generally won't even care? --SamWinchester000 (talk) 03:43, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Sam, These are four sources, one source for each nomination in the article (references 15, 16,17, and 18). So, this is not for the same thing - it is for 4 different things. I am only looking at these sources because earlier an editor claimed the subject met the criteria for WP:ANYBIO #1 "This person... has been nominated for one [award] several times".
- Well, now that I look at this - I can see there has been a misunderstanding. It was implied that because she had four different nominations, she passed criteria #1 for ANYBIO. I can see now this is not the case - rather it is being nominated for one significant award several times. So we were having a back and forth conversation about something that was not true. Oh well. That will not happen again.
- You are correct, the nominations don't convince me at all - because the sources are not independent, they are company promotional materials, they have passing mentions only on a single line. My intent was to individually delineate the inadequacy of each of the 4 nominations. My comments following each external link are meant to show the inadequacy of each individual nomination. Hopefully this clears things up. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:31, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say that there would be mulitple sources for one thing at the moment. It sounded as if you would want more sources for already sourced nominations. I never said that those nominations would have been the same, I stated nothing about the content of the article. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 04:37, 11 September 2016 (UTC) P. S.: Writing an article, I would never source awards with other references than the official ones. Why should I? Other articles could just be wrong. Searching for an award of any genre (I don't mean only porn but e.g. a maths award) outside of its specialist literature/magazine/journal is just absurd for me.[reply]
- So, I've added missing sources from the web archive and can now only say that those are indeed 4 different award nominations (but which were not my personal argument for keep). --SamWinchester000 (talk) 04:58, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment (after edit conflict) I have been waiting for a relist for quite a while before I would bring up some fresh points beause it might take me a while to formulate them and it was rather too late to directly answer to above users and their Google News searches. However, as nothing seems to happen, here is what I found on Google News: This french website PurePeople calls her a "top star" for making classy parodies ("pastiches classés X") like "Tomb Raider, Les Schtroumpfs, Men in Black, Thor or Xena". They report from her photo shoot for a mineral water brand, call her "the wicked participant" (as there are also other normal models) and "the bomb of porn" and also point out that she's "holding the crown of Penthouse". That article is without doubt about Nicole Aniston. The argentine Infobae calls her an "influential (′impactante′) woman" who has "achieved to become one of the most popular starlets in the XXX film industry". Other Argentine ("infartante modelo" – "mind-blowing model"), French, Rumanian ("one of the most famous porn actresses") or Greek magazines e. g. have been reporting.
- The next one is only a photo slideshow. However, recognizing her big Instagram presence Espectáculos Televisa says: "Nicole Aniston's sensuality always increases the temperature of Instagram.", "Nicole Aniston, one of the most famous XXX divas." This 2016 rumanian article about photos from her at home has called her "one of the most well-known actresses in adult films". GQ has listed the 10 hottest pornstars on Instagram in 2016 and commentates on Nicole Aniston as "Star of Penthouse and Naughty [America]". More sources referringt to the GQ list: [36], [37]. This is a list of 12 humans many people might know in general without actually realizing that those are porn stars. They quote her saying that in the last years she has learned how to successfully market herself - regardless of her actual profession.
- An interview by a sports journalist when she hasn't already been Penthouse Pet. Yet, he states: "exploding onto the porn scene only a year-and-a-half ago". An article referring to her as the new Penthouse Pet. She's listed 2nd place in a Greek list from 2016 compiling the most famous porn stars from the 80's and the 2010's. An article about Marco Rubio's endorsement by Jenna Jameson makes a general pun about Nicole Aniston in connection with Obamacare due to her established name. An article about Veronica Vain coming from a Wall street job shortly mentions Aniston as a generally familiar pornstar who has been a benk teller. In the french reality show Les Anges de la téléréalité contestant Nelly Chanteloup wanted to achieve the same bust (size) as Nicole Aniston has, as for Nelly's fans she has been a veritable look-alike of the well-known porn actress.
I know that not each of those references might be ideal but I tried to bring up a wide range. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 06:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly-sourced article about a TV director that I cannot find any significant coverage on. Subject's biggest mentions appear in an article about Wimbledon TV coverage on something called Sports Video Group, which looks like it's barely above the level of a blog. There are a couple of minor mentions in a couple of other articles that I found, but no articles about the subject himself. He appears to be one of hundreds of directors that have worked for NBC Sports over the years, but without any distinguishing characteristics, I believe he fails WP:DIRECTOR on all 4 counts. I did find a couple of mentions on pages that would not be considered WP:RS that talk about him winning multiple Emmy awards, but my guess is those are Sports Emmys for the Olympics - and when the Olympics broadcast wins an Emmy (which it does almost every single time) everyone on the production, from the executive producers to the dozens of directors, to the cameramen, to the cable pullers, all get to claim they "won" an Emmy (and purchase the statue if they wish).

Non-notable attorney. Sole claim to fame as the youngest county judge in Orange County, Texas. There are over 3000 counties or equivalents in the US, and every one of them has a youngest, oldest, tallest, etc. judge, county supervisor, etc.; that does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. Appears to have been created and lovingly curated by the subject of the article himself; contrary to both WP:RESUME and WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
PROD removed by the article's creator User:Brint03, who appears to be the Stephen Brint Carlton himself, with the comment Still building article. More references coming. Other articles exist about current/former county judges who have done less. Appears to be no issue with 181 (part time) Texas legislators having pages., but that's just an unpersuasive WP:WAX argument. TJRC (talk) 00:15, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Brint03 response to TJRC:
The claim to fame is not being an attorney. The "claim to fame" is as a Texas politician who is the head of the 45th most populous Texas county. The "youngest" part is an interesting fact as it was covered by media. Greater "claim to fame" is being part of a dramatic political shift in Southeast Texas and instituting policies to create the first balanced budget in well over 20 years to a County in deep financial trouble. Additionally, the County is tackling economic development in a new way to bring more jobs and prosperity to a stagnant region of the state. The totality of the education and background helps the reader to understand how and why the above changes in policy and outcomes were achieved.
As far as there being 3000 (according to you) counties or similar entities in the US, there are also 7383 (according to Wikipedia) state legislators in the US. Every one I have looked up has a page. It seems to me that county judges/administrators are twice as rare (and therefore twice as notable) as state legislators and, often, wield more influence on their constituents. Brint03 —Preceding undated comment added 00:49, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Response to Metropolitan90 Comment: Your statement is partially correct. While Texas county judges do have very broad administrative powers (executive branch) and budgetary powers (legislative branch), they also have broad judicial authority to preside over a wide range of cases. See the Texas Constitution, Government Code, Local Government Code, Probate Code, etc. This is what makes county judges in Texas so unique and "notable". They often have far more influence on the lives of their constituents than state or federal legislators. Additionally, because they have so much power over a wide range of issues, it is important that constituents have an understanding of their county judge and the full extent of the office of county judge. They are also often the subject of weekly media attention and their election or defeat, especially when there is a change after 20 years, generates significant local and sometimes regional media attention. The role of a Texas county judge is often misunderstood by those who do not live it Texas.
I am open to suggestions on how to improve the article, but TJCR going straight for deletion (rather than beginning a friendly dialogue) is premature. His use of the word "lovingly" is also inflammatory and counterproductive to finding an amenable solution. Brint03Brint03 (talk) 03:18, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. The subject is an official in a rural county of about 80,000 people. The article is highly promotional and filled full of unreferenced assertions about details of the subject's life. This is because it seems that the subject himself wrote the article, and is writing from personal knowledge rather than summarizing reliable, independent sources, as is required. The evidence that this is an autobiography is very strong. Autobiographies are highly discouraged here on Wikipedia. The editor has a clear conflict of interest which must be declared. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:29, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Response to Cullen328: I am attempting to work with you guys, but there does not seem to be much reciprocation. There is an automatic jump to deletion without an attempt to work with the creator or offer helpful advice first. The provided information does come from various independent sources such as media, military records, school records, etc. It was already mentioned that more references were coming. However, I have now stripped the article down to the basics without much explanation. As before, all of the information does come from independent sources, I just need more time to enter it all. Finally, there is a misunderstanding from you guys on how notable county judges are. I have already explained. Referencing the Wikipedia page on County Commissioners is inadequate because the page is inadequate when it comes to Texas. Other county judge pages already exist for similar or smaller counties. Those judges are no more or less notable. Again, I do not understand editors who immediately jump to deletion without first working with the creator. If the creator fails to make the required changes or fails to show the importance of the page, then a discussion on deletion is warranted.Brint03 (talk) 14:06, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply to Brint03. Please be aware that WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a core Wikipedia content guideline, and it begins by saying: "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged." Why do you think that experienced editors would want to "work with" you when you are engaging in self-promotional behavior that has been repeatedly disruptive for this encyclopedia for many years? If you were really interested in improving the encyclopedia, you would be improving our coverage of topics where you do not have a conflict of interest. As a county official in a county of 82,000 people, you simply do not meet WP:POLITICIAN. I am not surprised that there are other articles about non-notable county judges. Instead of adding yet another article about a non-notable politician, we should be deleting those others as well. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:20, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Response to Cullen328:
The only issue I have is the aggressive nature in which the editors have responded. Instead of taking a little time to help the creator understand, it is instantly "delete" or "you don't meet that". I am not opposed to meeting Wikipedia standards but you guys obviously know more about those standards than most people. I have had a chance to review those standards since the first delete proposal came and I now agree with deletion. All it would have taken was for the editors to approach the issue with a little more restraint and desire to help the creator understand instead of being confrontational. I have no issue with deletion.Brint03 (talk) 15:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how long it takes to fully delete the article, but I have removed all information other than name, office, and duties of the office until final deletion. I would remove the rest, but the instructions are to not blank the article.Brint03 (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete some say Wikipedia editors approach such issues "aggresively". However the fact of the matter is the project gets cluttered with minor, tandendential articles. In this case, a county judge is the top administrator of a county. As best I understand it, a county judge in Texas is somewhat like a mayor who heads a city commission. They are the first among equals of the 5 legislative/executive leaders of the county. The question is then are county judges default notable, and I still think the answer is no (I answer the same for the mayor of my own city which has more inhabitants than Carlton's county). The sources here do not meet general notability guidelines criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Even if County judges were anywhere near notable I would still delete this article with fire because it is an autobiography. We need to send the message loud and clear that no matter how important one things they are, they should never create an article on themselves in Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to editors:
You guys do realize Wikipedia is not, nor will it ever be, a legitimate encyclopedia, right? No reputable person, researcher, nor institution of higher learning would ever accept anything in here as reliable. They would at best go and read the references. Wikipedia is nothing more than a place to start looking or entertainment. The reason for this is precisely because it can be edited by anybody at anytime. The fact you guys volunteer to help is nice, but the vitriol some of you express towards people who are not as familiar with the standards as you is laughable. As best I can tell, Wikipedia is for everybody to contribute. If the standard for Wikipedia is to not allow autobiographies, then make them forbidden. However, that is not the standard. The standard is highly discouraged. There is a world of difference between the two (one is allowed, the other not allowed). All you guys will do is encourage people to pretend to be somebody else if they want a page. If it is highly discouraged, but not forbidden, then relay that to the creator and give guidance on how to make it better if they believe they can meet the standards. If they then do not meet standards, go ahead and initiate deletion. Going immediately to delete or expressimg contempt is not the answer. New creators are not aware of all of the frustration you guys have or years of this or that you have put up with. I have already said I no longer object to deleting the article. I spent more time looking over the standards and I see the downfall is the autobiography. I still think you are mistaken on the notability part but we can agree to disagree. I looked up other county judge pages first to see if they existed and they do. How is a creator to then know that you do not feel a county judge is notable? The big problem is the subjectivity of "notable" or "significant" media coverage. You can elimiate the problem by making Wikipedia for state and higher level officials only. There is a lot of subjectivity in Wikipedia standards and I guess as editors, you guys get to decide. However, referencing Wikipedia articles as your source of determining reliable information in making any kind of determination is concerning. Anyways, I appreciate what you guys do because I enjoy being entertained by Wikipedia just as much as the next person.Brint03 (talk) 14:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- comment I find this paragraph disturbing, as much for its errors in deciphering why the article was nominated as for its attacks on the editors. The fact that this article is an autobiography is not the main reason for the nomination, and in fact, even if a completely different person had written it, it would still be a candidate for deletion. Also, I see no signs of "vitriol" except from the article writer himself. You can say there is a lot of subjectivity in Wikipedia standards, and that's true, but you miss the greater truth: every encyclopedia includes or omits articles based on subjective standards - they're just standards set by a smaller group of people. Also, you don't have a way to argue with those encyclopedia editors when they don't include your article. Here, you do, but maybe you should carefully consider in the future what kind of argument you're making. This one didn't make much sense. CrispyGlover (talk) 21:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The only reason autobiographical articles are "strongly discouraged", rather than outright banned altogether, on Wikipedia is that occasionally an autobiographical article gets created by a person who actually does meet all the necessary standards to have a Wikipedia article — so in those instances, we just clean the article up for compliance with our content policies instead of deleting it entirely. (Recent example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Hardcastle.) It does not mean every individual person who exists at all is entitled to ignore the rule just because it says "strongly discouraged" instead of "always expressly forbidden"; the article is still subject to all of our normal content rules, and can still be deleted if the necessary levels of notability and sourceability just aren't there to repair it with.

- Delete Local official (county judge) but without full sourcing. Need full sourcing to qualify as a local official.64.134.51.41 (talk) 16:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No indication that the notability guidelines set forth in WP:POLITICIAN are met. I find no substantive coverage in third-party sources to suggest that WP:GNG is met here. --Kinu t/c 17:53, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Local official that fails WP:POLITICIAN, not close to meeting WP:GNG, and the problems raised by WP:RESUME and WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY were already noted above. Agree with the other delete voters on all points. CrispyGlover (talk) 21:42, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. County-level judges do not get an automatic WP:NPOL pass just because they exist, and no reliable source coverage has been shown to get him over WP:GNG in lieu — of the two "sources" here, one is his own primary source profile on the county's own website, and the other is Ballotpedia, a user-generated content site which includes content about every single candidate for any elected office in the entire United States, and thus doesn't constitute proof of notability per se. Bearcat (talk) 23:42, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete -- does not meet WP:NPOL; a weakly sourced vanity page. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:46, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
