Patent nonsense, non-notable, stub, unsourced BLP. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 23:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is not patent nonsense although it is poorly written by someone whose English language skills are weak. I could copy edit the article in minutes if the topic was notable. The fact that it is a stub is also not a reason for deletion. However, unreferenced BLPs violate policy, there is no plausible claim of notability, and the article is an autobiography. Therefore, it must be deleted. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable for college career. Fails to meet WP:BASIC. Undrafted in NFL 2016 draft but was picked up by Giants.

weak delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NSPORT. It would be nice if this could just be sent to a draft, because in the event that this guy gets picked up by another team later and plays an NFL game, he would become notable.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~I have no objection to a draft article,~~ but it seems a bit unlikely that Rose will be picked up by another team given that he wasn't drafted, didn't play much in his three preseason games, and didn't survive the first round of cuts (from a 90-man roster to 75-man). There's still another larger round of cuts to come before the rosters are finalized at 53 men by 3 September. Meters (talk) 07:12, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Draft is fine if an enthusiastic editor wants to take custody of the article and work on it. My cursory search did not turn up significant coverage for his collegiate career. If others can search and find better results, I'll consider changing my position. Until then, we have a good quality college player but not necessarily a notable one. Delete and also try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:30, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- On second thought, it only makes sense to convert to a draft if the subject is notable but the article content needs work to get to article status. If the subject does not qualify because the subject is not notable then it should not go to draft. No amount of work on the article will create notability. We should not keep articles around in draft just in case the subject later becomes notable.Meters (talk) 01:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He can still qualify via Gridiron. the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the third American Football League, the All-America Football Conference or the United States Football League, or any other top-level professional league. Userfy to my account if delete is given. BlackAmerican (talk) 03:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Evelyn Hartley[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Clearly, this young lady is not notable. None of the references currently on the article are biographical in nature (nor are any of them reliable. More on that later), nor could I find any. Pretty hard to write a bio when all we have is supposition on what may have happened in a two hour or so period of her life. The crime story has some potential, but this article is so poorly crafted and mal cited, I'd advocate WP:TNT. John from Idegon (talk) 23:10, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think that the page is written well and cites are alright; I have asked the editor who contributed it to seek additional sources but I certainly don't think the article warrants deletion with the current sources. WP:N/CA also "The disappearance of a person would fall under this guideline if law enforcement agencies deemed it likely to have been caused by criminal conduct, regardless of whether a perpetrator is identified or charged. If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable." This certainly meets that guideline.-- Dane2007 ^talk 23:16, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but move to Disappearance of Evelyn Hartley or something similar. Dane2007 points out the applicable content guideline. Fifty years after she disappeared, news coverage of this unsolved case continues. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is just as notable as any other missing person, and belongs on the List of people who disappeared mysteriously - User:Davidgoodheart
Comment - The vast majority of the people on the aforementioned list would be notable if they had died at home in their beds with their grandchildren surrounding them (e.g. Glen Miller). Their disappearance is not why they are notable. Can you show that there is anything at all notable about this young lady? Her disappearance may be notable, but I only see a very few reliable sources online to that. I would like to see an explanation of what makes the sourcing currently on the article reliable. I see no sources in the sources nor any evidence of the fact checking that we require for reliable sources. In any case, Davidgoodheart, the scope of this discussion is limited to this article. WP:OTHERSTUFF is seldom a persuasive arguement. If you are a local to the area of her disappearance, actual citations to news articles would be immensely helpful to the firm establishment of the notability of her disappearance. Although this discussion has several days to run, the trending consensus seems to be that she is not notable but her disappearance is. John from Idegon (talk) 19:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as mentioned above, WP:VICTIM. There is persistent coverage per criteria 1 and no other article exists. I would not be opposed to moving it to a different title to focus on the disappearance. --Dual Freq (talk) 22:58, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

POV fork of Coordinated Universal Time Jc3s5h (talk) 22:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator, I view this page as a POV fork of Coordinated Universal Time. Two main themes are that GMT is distinct from UTC, and UTC is different from UT. But as the "Coordinated Universal Time" article and it's supporting sources make clear, the status of GMT is unclear, and some authorities treat it as identical to UTC. Also, many authorities view UTC as one of several varieties of UT. I consider it inappropriate for a fork to exist that states as established fact positions that are actually quite controversial.

Also, the "Coordinated Universal Time" article is not so long that a separate article on the history of UTC is necessary. Jc3s5h (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unnecessary WP:POVFORK. I also have several additional concerns:

Content relating to Stein's political positions, philosophy, statements, etc. can be placed (and indeed is currently placed) at the main biographical article, Jill Stein or Jill Stein presidential campaign, 2016, or Jill Stein presidential campaign, 2012. The source material on Stein's positions is not so voluminous that it requires a separate article. (Stein does not have a long record in public office).
A separate article not only atomizes content, but also encourages content sprawl and inclusion of long quotations or other unencyclopedic material.
Article is unlikely to be expanded.
Similar underdeveloped or unnecessary "Political positions..." articles have been found to not be independently notable in the past, e.g.: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Political positions of Michael Bloomberg; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Political positions of Ann Coulter; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Political positions of Bill Richardson. --Neutrality^talk 21:18, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:POVFORK and the well-articulated concerns expressed by User:Neutrality. Note also that this article was created during discussions about the "positions" sections on Jill Stein in which article creator had just proposed creating this page and a fellow editor has said [1] not a good idea.

All of the other main presidential candidates have a "Political Positions of" page, and those most active on Jill Stein's biography page (see Talk:Jill Stein) seem to wish to deny her this privilege. Note that no edits have been made to the page since it was split, and I am following consensus and editing at her bio page while her political positions remain on that page. To respond to Neutrality, Bloomberg never ran for President, Jill has done so twice, and to be honest I've never heard of Bill Richardson, so cannot comment.

That page has had exactly 36 edits in the 2 months of its exisentce, almost all of them by the article creator, that gets~ 10 pageviews per day, and on which every single topic is marked "unknown" in the Jill Stein column. imho, the lack of active editing and paltry sourcing on that page demonstrate the problem with multiplying articles on minor political figures like Stein. As does Political positions of Cynthia McKinney although she, unlike Stein, was elected to Congress, and in that sense the article is not as absurd as Political positions of Ben Carson, although even Carson did have a period when he was polling serious numbers of voters. The McKinney positions page, sourced heavily to blogs, including 911truth.org, is a poster child for the problem of having articles of this type. It was created in 2008 when McKinney was the Green Party candidate for president, was written almost entirely by a single editor who has long since left this project, and has not been meaningfully improved in the decade it has existed.E.M.Gregory (talk)

Keep - the political positions is not a POV fork but is a division of the prior article to fit existing practices as shown in other candidates, so it fits the WP:SPINOFF accepted section at WP:POVFORK. Also, conceptually the Jill Stein page is a BLP so it should focus on her life and chronology, and maybe change over time of politics -- but not a detailed focus. Markbassett (talk) 02:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment One problem I am having in squaring this with the other pages in our category Category:Political positions of United States presidential candidates, 2016 is that, Trump excepted, all of those candidates have political records as holders of major office where they actually took positions. (Note the "Political positions of Carly Fiorina", like those of several other contenders for major party nomination, redirects). This means that their Political positions pages can be reliably sourced to secondary coverage of their positions on issues they were involved with as elected officials. Jill Stein's page, however, is heavily - and perhaps inevitably - primary sourced, not only to jill2016.com but all the way down to source # 16, ""Dr. Jill Stein on Twitter". Retrieved 2016-07-28.". sources # 3 and # 4 are Jill Stein press releases [2], [3]; no fewer than 6 items are cited to http://www.jill2016.com/plan It is also heavily sourced to partisan sites that may or may not be independent of Stein, the first source on the page is occupy.com, Many other positions are cited to obscure blogs/websites including: lumpenproletariat.org , Rainbow.org , www.p2012.org, and youtube postings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzwZtmTEMuw I could go on, there's more of this sort. My question is whether it is even possible to reliably source an article on a third party candidate who has never held a significant public office (she was a member of the Lexington town meeting) and who, therefore, has no press coverage on issue positions outside of what comes during a political campaign.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:47, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your activism on both Jill Stein's page and Ajamu Baraka's make it such that I'm not surprised by your comments.

One might cynically believe the goal in preventing this page from existing, despite clearly established precedent, is to ensure that people seeking to learn more about Jill Stein don't have to click twice in order to see the writing I and others have slowly and patiently managed to tone down towards neutrality in the past weeks despite the user's consistent unwillingness to compromise (or even talk cf. lack of response to [User:AndrewOne|AndrewOne] here for one example among many). (It should be noted that Snooganssnoogans is the author of much of this page User Contribution Search. Since August, I have become more active providing balancing material in the past month, Snooganssnoogans continues to be active, and has provided us with, for example 16 references to the same Washington Post interview here, which strikes me (and others in print) as both an unbalanced source (given the questions) and undue weight. Nevertheless, in the spirit of "consensus" of those involved on a daily basis reverting efforts aimed at improving the article to remove the anti-bias tag on the Jill Stein page in late August, I have not removed those links, despite the obvious bias of the way in which the questions the Post asked her (already expressing the Post's negative point of view (as for Sanders)) have been used. But I'll assume "good faith" and admit that there are some things in life I could not understand behind that veil of ignorance. ^^

To respond to the substantive claim in your argument, to the best of my knowledge, Noam Chomsky, and Christopher Hitchens and Ralph Nader have never held political office, yet all three have political positions pages... SashiRolls (talk) 14:32, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Political positions of Ralph Nader turns out to be a poster child for all the problems with Political positions of articles created for minor candidates during campaigns, especially bad sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:20, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note, however, that Political positions of Tim Kaine and Political positions of Mike Pence redirect to their pages, as several of us are proposing to redirect this to Jill Stein. Nor do we have Political Positions of Darrell Castle or Political Positions of Ben Carson, candidates who share the sourcing problem I perceive with Stein, that is, the fact because she has never been elected to a significant office or been a significant player in the national and international political conversation, we lack the kind of analysis by political scientists, policy analysts and political journalists ~~that enables us to reliably source articles on Noam Chomsky, and Christopher Hitchens and Ralph Nader.~~ Perhaps it is merely WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Striking part of my comment because on examining those 3 articles I find that I was incorrect; the Caldwell and Chomsky pages both suffer from excessive reliance on primary sourcing, while Political positions of Ralph Nader is so bad it that needs to be redirected or deleted. The point is that all 3 articles held up as models by User:SashiRolls appear to reinforce my hypothesis that sources (or something) makes it close to impossible to source good articles on the political positions of individuals who have not served in major political office.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, to meet WP:HEY an editor would have to remove the WP:FANCRUFT from the page along with all the blogs and everything that cannot be sources as per WP:RS, and turn this into at least an early version of something that might conceivably become WP:GOOD. I just spent a little time nosing around, and my impression is that RS do not at this point exist to either properly source such an article, or to support its notability. It is simply WP:TOOSOON to source an article of this type on Stein. E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In principle, there can be both a bio page and a political views page for a particular political figure. However, to make it an editorially desirable separation, there should be a good reason for the political views page to explore content that does not fit at the bio page, and also, both pages must be equally balanced and neutral in POV. Here, however, this really is a WP:POV fork, intended to bypass content disputes at the bio page. The content is pretty much just copy-pasted, and it seems unlikely that there will be sufficient reason in the next year or so for this page to go into additional content. --Tryptofish (talk) 15:07, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources: [4] and [5] from Rolling Stone, [6] from Politico, [7] from Newsweek, [8] from NBC News, [9] from Bustle, [10] from CNN, [11] from The Washington Post, [12] from The Post-Standard, [13] from The Seattle Times, [14] from Slate. These articles not just "Jill Stein is running for President" stories; they analyze her political positions and compare/contrast them to other candidates. If the article is problematic, it can be fixed. I skimmed over it, and it looks like there are some questionable sources. But it's possible to find better ones. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:08, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I believe the above sources are best added to the main article Jill Stein. Since she's described there as a "perennial candidate" I believe it's best to keep the material on her political positions there. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreeing with K.e.coffman's comment just above, I don't think that anyone questions the existence of sufficient sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Instead, the issue is that satisfying notability does not make it mandatory to have a separate page. Here, there are issues of WP:SOAP, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:IINFO. --Tryptofish (talk) 14:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:POVFORK as others have mentioned. While there is potential to have standalone political views articles of BLPs in the case of candidates, there isn't really justification for separation from the BLP in this case. The more appropriate case is to keep developing content on the parent page and create the daughter article if there is significant enough content to be standalone to avoid overtaking the BLP article per WP:SPINOFF. I don't really see that happening since political views are her main claim to fame. Kingofaces43 (talk) 14:31, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Improve content instead of deleting

The various suggested reasons for deleting the "Political Positions of Jill Stein" page strike me as odd and unconvincing. Clearly there is a public information value in having positions of the presidential candidates readily accessible on separate neutral Wikipedia pages. There are such separate pages for Clinton, Trump and Johnson, and they have evidently generated no such "debate" within Wikipedia. Trump has never held public office, and well into the primaries the "positions" listed on his website were far less detailed than what Stein's site shows. So what can be fundamentally wrong with having an objective separate Wikipedia page on such stances, instead of sandwiching that in with all sorts of other material, or leaving readers to wade through the candidates' own sales pitches?

Of course, "political positions" can instead be made a subsection of the "presidential campaign" page or the main biographical page (the latter is the case for Evan McMullin, the only other minor presidential candidate besides Stein showing well about 1% in a state presidential poll (9% in Utah in August), but his campaign is not even a month old, and if it grows in popularity that could certainly and quite understandably also lead to a "positions" page for him as well, even though he also has never held elected office before). The fuss about "primary" versus "secondary" sources also seems weird. Clearly both types of source are beneficial, but the actual stated positions (primary) are going to be more relevant and useful to most readers. Moreover, while the Wikipedia guideline on notability says "if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article," that is evidently not very relevant here: There are now already many referenced news article and analyses, and many ≠ "no".

This tempest in a teapot discussion appears to have little tangible effect except to make things slightly more confusing for readers and editors than they need to be. I favor removing the distracting and misleading flags, and getting on with remedying the shortcomings of the political position text. If part of the problem here is that many of Stein's positions have been vague, not well-informed, or inconsistent (in "contrast" to the crystal clear, credible and unwavering utterances of Trump, Clinton, Johnson, and almost any other national politician), then by all means make that part of the Wikipedia text, but I vote (if that is in any sense the right verb) for taking off the flags and winding up this tangential talk page. DK Drewkeeling (talk) 22:33, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: I meant, in my final sentence above, to advocate winding up this "article for deletion" discussion. Of course, Wikipedia pages generally have a "talk page" available, and I do not mean to suggest there being exception to that for pages on Stein or her candidacy. Drewkeeling (talk) 22:42, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think user:K.e.coffman gets it right above: "Since she's described there as a "perennial candidate" I believe it's best to keep the material on her political positions there." Note that Stein has never won any of the posts she has run for (except at her local town meeting) and that we have "political positions" pages on individuals who have held significant office, but not on Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney nor on notable perennial candidates Harold Stassen, Eugene Debs or Ralph Nadar.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:48, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hillary must win. 184.101.237.225 (talk) 06:29, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for its usefulness for 2016 voters and other interested parties. I find it a bit spurious the comments of various that those positions may be less firm than those of established pols. And so what if they aren't referenced by "reliable" sources-does a ref from CNN et al convey legitimacy on the view of the candidate? If the media haven't reported on the Political positions of Jill Stein that could say more about the media than the views. Besides, it's a list of Political positions that voters may peruse and compare, not the candidates voting records or actions (comparing the 3 for some candidates/pols may make an interesting page). For me, if you delete this one then delete the Political positions pages of all candidates. I don't advocate that-I say let the views stay in wikipedia where they can be linked to the topics. A valid comment may be that after the 2016 election, what becomes of the page, as views change and become dated... eg Political positions of Hillary Clinton was created in 2006‎, but its intro refers to 2016 {disclaimer-I am not a US voter. I have recently edited the page} DadaNeem (talk) 21:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments really apply, because there are different considerations that come into play in each case. I agree that the information is of interest to voters, but the same information is available at Jill Stein. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - article is a direct copy-paste from the already existent Jill Stein article and there's not enough sufficient content on its own to justify a separate article. There is nothing to include in a separate article that can't already be included into the parent article. Usually I'm all for having separate articles for political positions, but Stein's notability does not amount to that of Clinton's or Trump's or Huckabee's or Bush's or any democrat or republican for that matter. That's further evidenced by the fact that, if such an event were to occur where this article would stay its own separate article, and any editor just came to the Jill Stein article and trimmed down the political positions section in the presence of a separate article (as does usually happen with splits), you'd hardly still have an article. Last and foremost, this is not a discussion of whether an article should be delete, its a discussion on if a section within an article should have its own article. —Mythdon 23:27, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom et al.. Stein is not a "main" presidential candidate; she is polling, at most, a single point. Almost all of the material in the article is "mirrored" from her own website, a violation of both WP:COPYVIO and WP:RS, or a run of the mill rehash of the Green Party platform. I would be less annoyed if criticism of her more controversial positions were analyzed in detail, such as her anti-vaccination stance, but right now, it's little more than crufty agitprop. I really don't see that it could be improved, but please, go ahead and prove me wrong. For what it's worth, I support the other woman. Bearian (talk) 18:21, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As the evidence assembled by NinjaRobotPirate shows, notability is not an issue, and the material is substantive enough that an article is justifiable. I find no evidence that it has been created to change the POV of the main article, and therefore it does not appear to be a POVFORK, but an appropriate spinoff. The question then becomes "can we fit all this content into the main article?" Purely on the basis of length, we could: but we would then have an article dominated by her political positions. If the existence of this spinoff allows the main article to be balanced in terms of content, then I would prefer to keep the spinoff. Vanamonde (talk) 08:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's true that the two pages do not particularly differ in content at this time. However, the editor who created the Political positions page (now topic-banned) did so in order to fend off efforts to NPOV the bio page. There does not seem to me to be a problem of balance at the main bio article, so there is no need for the spinoff to fix that. She is notable as a political candidate, so it's appropriate to emphasize her political positions. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you did say that by nominating this for deletion. This is a forum for discussing articles that people have good reason for thinking should be deleted, i.e. because they have read and understood the available sources and found them not to meet our inclusion guidelines. If you can't understand the available sources then you can ask about them on the article talk page or simply leave matters to someone who can understand them. It is certainly not a valid reason to nominate an article for deletion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, the article was already tagged with a BLP-PROD *and* multiple-criteria CSD-tagging. AfD-nominator removed those because 1. the article did have a source at the time it was tagged, making it ineligible for BLP-PRODding, 2. the promotional content (one of the reasons for CSD-tagging) could be removed while keeping an article that does somewhat hint at significance, enough to make the *other* criterion by which it was CSD-tagged also invalid. Removing the promotional content, however, results in an article that may hint at significance but certainly does not demonstrate notability (not that promo-speak does do that, mind), and combined with the *multiple* ways in which the article was nominated for deletion, nominating it at AfD so people with 1. knowledge of the subject or 2. knowledge of German could sort it out most definitely is the appropriate and reasonable way to deal with it. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 21:44, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, except in so far as agreeing that the speedy deletion tagging was even more ridiculous than this nomination, but life would be pretty boring if we all always agreed with each other.

Geronimo Allison[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As much as it pains me as a Packers fan who wishes the best for Allison. He fails WP:NGRIDIRON because he has not yet played in a regular season game. It may be worth creating if he makes the upcoming roster cuts. Church ^Talk 19:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now. I would say this is a little premature, as he is still on the Packers' roster and has played in multiple preseason games. If he ends up not making the roster (which we should find out relatively soon, Sept 3 I think), than I would support the deletion. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:17, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment NGRIDIRON also takes college career into consideration. He had over 100 receptions and 1,400 yards for a Power Five program. Take that as you will, but Terrence Toliver, a player with similar college stats, was once taken to AFD on the same grounds.

Keep. Regardless of whether a college athlete ever plays professionally, he/she may qualify separately under WP:GNG as WP:NGRIDIRON is an inclusive rather than exclusive guideline. Here, Geronimo was a two-year starter for a Power Five team. He was not a superstar in college, but he did tally 882 receiving yards and was honorable mention All-Big Ten in 2015. What matters most, though, is that he meets the GNG bar for having received significant coverage in multiple, independent, and reliable sources, including in-depth coverage in national outlets such as ESPN.com. Examples of such coverage include: (1) Nearly a 'never was,' rookie receiver Geronimo Allison catches Packers' eye, ESPN.com, Aug. 4, 2016; (2) Illini's Allison no longer playing catch-up, ESPN.com, Mar. 20, 2014; (3) Geronimo Allison emerging as leader of Illinois receivers, Chicago Tribune, Oct. 1, 2015; (4) Illinois receiver Geronimo Allison hoping to catch scouts' eye at combine, Houston Chronicle, Feb. 22, 2016; (5) Ex-Spoto star Geronimo Allison enjoys Shrine Game opportunity, Tampa Bay Times, Jan. 21, 2016; (6) With a name like Geronimo, Allison should stand out, "The News-Gazette", Aug. 7, 2013; (7) Allison has big goal in mind, The News-Gazette, Jan. 22, 2016; and (8) Geronimo Allison TD delivers Illinois win vs. Nebraska 14-13, USA Today, Oct 3, 2015.

Gawad sa Kaunlaran[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This award does exist, but existence does not equate to notability. The references provided appear to be only trivial mentions in handbooks of awards or mentions of someone receiving the award. There does not appear to be any non-trivial discussion of the award itself in reliable independent secondary sources. There are no subject-specific guidelines for retaining such an article, and it does not meet WP:GNG. KDS4444 (talk) 19:12, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, though a weak one based on a lack of available sources which may roll into WP:BIAS due to limited English language sources. I am not much of a wikilawyer, but past practice and precedent has been that awards of a national government's honor system have been sufficiently notable to be stand alone articles. I know that is a weak rationale, but I find nothing in policy that prevents us from covering this subject with an article. There is a fair amount of connectedness with this article which in my mind would also warrant it's keeping. EricSerge (talk) 23:03, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will grant that the article seems to be connected to several others, and that there may be some bias with regard to English language sources, and that precedents may be that such national governmental awards such as this are frequently notable enough to warrant standalone articles. But what this article needs is non-trivial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. If this article gets deleted, I would have no objection to its eventual recreation with such sources included. Right now, even the Tagolog Wikipedia has no article on it. KDS4444 (talk) 02:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Tagalog Wikipedia doesn't have an article for its highest military award, and one that is likely inherently notable, the Philippine Medal of Valor (tl:Medalya ng Kagitingan). It would appear that military medals, as a subject, are not very well developed on that Wikipedia. EricSerge (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps that award is not yet viably notable. The fact that the military dispenses it does not make it notable, but discussion in the required sorts of sources would. If these do not exist, then notability it does not have... Yes? KDS4444 (talk) 13:32, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. An honour like this is obviously notable. We have articles on even minor service medals. Ridiculous nomination. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Nothing is clear. Or obvious. Keep the ridicule to yourself. Give me multiple non-trivial instances of discussion in reliable independent sources instead. Do you have any? Does anyone? These assertions of notability are not usually enough to be considered notable (per wp:ITSNOTABLE). Thanks, dude. KDS4444 (talk) 12:55, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you honestly think a medal like this would be deleted if it was British or American? Do you honestly think deletion is doing a service to Wikipedia or its readers? As I said, ridiculous nomination. Common sense applies here. Oh, and by the way, calling me a pompous dick on my talkpage is immensely mature. Well done! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Referring to my nomination as ridiculous in the first place is immensely immature. Touché. And what I "honestly think" has no bearing here. Neither does what you "honestly think." Last time I checked. As for "common sense", see WP:COMMONSENSE, paragraph "There is no common sense." Oh, and by the way, I thanked you for not being a pompous dick... Didn't you read the message??

I found a couple of podcasts that all have Larry Farkas, as well as Doug Thieme, Glen Mancaruso, and Roger Dale Martin of Vengeance Rising and Die Happy, so they cover all those bands plus Farkas mentions being in Deliverance for a brief time so there's another one. These podcasts were done in 2000, pre-Once Dead or any of these guest appearances. The only band not mentioned was Sircle of Silence which seems like a short-lived project.

Comment: this is an interesting one because Easter does have some real form as a writer and an impressive CV. He was the main writer for Steve Wright's radio shows for more than a decade, coming up with most of the comedy characters on the award-winning Steve Wright in the Afternoon show on BBC Radio 1 and then later on when Wright moved to Radio 2. He then moved into TV scripts: he was Chris Tarrant's original scriptwriter for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? when it began in 1998, and went on to write for You've Been Framed!, The Voice UK and many other mainstream light entertainment shows on primetime TV in the UK. All of which makes it quite surprising that we are struggling to find independent sources for an article on him, because he certainly isn't a nobody.

List of Metroidvania games[edit]

Per this discussion, there was no consensus to split this list off to its own page. The one person who was in favor of a split ended up changing his mind through the discussion (but didn't strike though his position). All the history is preserved at Metroidvania. The conclusion of the discussion was that "Metroidvania" is an impossibly vague term and it's not Wikipedia's place to define it strictly through this list.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. Axem Titanium (talk) 13:09, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on the nom's principle and the past discussion linked - the full list of every possible game in a genre is just not feasible. I only note that there is a significant contribution from one editor beyond the split that we might want to consider a history merge at deletion just to retain those contribution. --MASEM (t) 14:31, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There is a whole list of Category:Video game lists by genre, are you suggesting that all of them should go also, or that "Metroidvania" is inherently a more difficult thing to categorize? I'm not sure that I buy that argument, especially if there is WP:RS backup for each listing. shoy (reactions) 15:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I do argue that Metroidvania is a more difficult thing to categorize and that conclusion falls out of the linked discussion. "First person shooter", as a genre, has a set of necessary and sufficient characteristics. It is a game with a viewpoint from the first person. Shooting, of a sort, occurs. While there are games on the periphery that are more challenging to place, it's generally very cut and dry. For "Metroidvania", even the most confident of taxonomists (Szczepaniak, Parish) show considerable variation in their definitions and most sources that make reference to the concept use it in a casual, informal way, intentionally leaving the term ill-defined. In 20 years since the premiere of Symphony of the Night, the world of game criticism hasn't settled on a set of necessary and sufficient criteria to define the "genre" (sneer quotes). Its actual usage is that of evoking a feeling, not describing a trait/quality. Axem Titanium (talk) 16:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Axem Titanium: But basically every item in the list is sourced to an WP:RS already that calls it a Metroidvania game (or equivalent language). We're after verifiability, not truth here; it's not up to us to categorize the games. shoy (reactions) 18:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Even in the face of VNT, I think it's disingenuous to present all instances of a term that is KNOWN to be vague as having equal weight. Most RS use it in an extremely casual way which has the effect of making the term's meaning so broad as to be no longer useful for categorization. If everything can be construed as a Metroidvania, then nothing is. It does the reader a disservice. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:40, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree that "Metroidvania" is simply not a "vague" categorization. It has been agreed upon by the gaming press that Metroidvania is a genre unto itself, and it has been mentioned countless times in reviews, etc. Therefore, by virtue of the fact that Category:Video game lists by genre exists, the Metroidvania list deserves its own page. In addition, it clogs up the Metroidvania article and clearly some work went into the list, but it doesn't seem right to include in the main article itself due to its massive length.--_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As Axem Titanium nicely explained, "Metroidvania" isn't a genre, and I'd move that it no longer be described as such on the Metroidvania article. The fact that the term is used "countless times" in reliable sources doesn't mean it is a genre, anymore than "Blast-a-thon" or "Shovelware" are genres. Sum point, we have no commonly agreed upon standards for inclusion in a list of Metroidvania games, making it inappropriate for Wikipedia. The content can easily be moved to other places on the web (Encyclopedia Gamia, for one).--Martin IIIa (talk) 16:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not a useful list for an encyclopedia due to a host of problems, among them being the wide variation in definitions (including the name itself--many sources uses phrases like "Metroid-style" and other such terms interchangeably with "Metroidvania"), the informality with which the term tends to be used (i.e., it tends to be used to evoke a feeling, rather than actually describe the game), the lack of articles by anyone other than Jeremy Parish or John Sczcepaniak that attempt to chronicle the genre (rather than using it ad-hoc in reference to a specific game or two, as the vast majority of sources do), the recency of the term's proliferation resulting in a severe bias toward recent games, and the disagreement over whether the "genre" is actually a genre or not. I'm doubtful even of the main article's relevance to Wikipedia, let alone a list of such games. Phediuk (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. The honors and awards section of our article appears to be a copy and paste from his web site, and that should be fixed. But the named chair is a clear pass of WP:PROF, as is his citation record (e.g. 6 papers with over 1000 citations each on Google scholar; were they 10x less I'd still think this a pass). —David Eppstein (talk) 20:20, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROF is a guide to people likely to be notable, according to the Wikipedia definition (i.e. having been subject of non-trivial indepndent coverage). Do feel free to add that coverage. Guy (Help!) 20:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It "is a generally accepted standard", not merely a hint towards some other kind of notability, and the standard you used in your nomination statement. Also, even if we were considering a different coverage-based notability standard, the coverage would not be limited to what's already listed in the article. I can't "add to that coverage" because, to do so, I would have to be an independent reliable publisher, not a Wikipedia editor. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:42, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I find this a baffling comment coming from an administrator, but it perhaps explains your recent spate of nominations of notable academics. WP:PROF states:

This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH etc. and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the General Notability Guideline.

And from the GNG:

It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right [which includes WP:PROF]

We have a subject-specific guideline precisely because academics frequently don't meet the "Wikipedia definition" of notability (really just one of Wikipedia's definitions) – because people don't tend to write about the even when their contribution to scholarship makes them notable by any reasonable definition of the word.

Keep Even with the fluff removed, the subject still is notable. RickinBaltimore (talk) 12:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've removed the controversial material, which was a blatant violation of WP:BLP. Predatory journals frequently list academics on their 'editorial boards' without their consent or knowledge, and other than that there was no source to back up the claim that Taylor is/was actually involved with OMICs. The retraction is due to dodgy figures in a multi-authored paper, so a very minor controversy indeed, and the only source we had for it was the blog Retraction Watch. With that gone, there isn't much of the article left. Joe Roe (talk) 13:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- There's apparently no "blatant" violation of WP:BLP in what was removed. I have restored the material for now. I'd like to see a link to something that explains how predatory journals frequently list academics on their editorial boards. That part of the content may be of little note anyway. As for the "minor controversy", it appears to have enough weight for the mention it receives, but I'm open to discussion on the article's talk page. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:00, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I have re-removed the part about the predatory journal due to lack of secondary RS sourcing, and I doubt there would be any for that. For the remainder, there is enough evidence that the retraction occurred. It's just a matter of research to see how much weight that carried in reliable sources.

Comment. The subject's citations according to Google Scholar appear to satisfy WP:PROF. I see no problem with including the retraction, though it's a shame the details are paywalled, but as the subject (per previous AfD) has denied involvement with the OMICS journal, that part should definitely be removed. What is really needed is more information about his undoudtedly notable research, but AfD rarely results in such improvements. Espresso Addict (talk) 14:20, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I have removed that part per lack of secondary, reliable sourcing. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:25, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per the previous AfDs, Taylor held a full professorship, is highly cited, and has received extensive coverage as the discoverer of exosomes, so is clearly a notable academic. The article is a bit coatracky right now, but that's a reason to re-add some well-sourced biographical material, not delete it. Joe Roe (talk) 14:33, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To that regard I started by adding one of the discoveries related to exosomes that was published in the journal Gynecologic Oncology. Just performing a Google Scholar search turns up a number of hits. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I appear to have been the sole delete commenter in the two previous AfDs, based on WP:BLP issues regarding the quality of sourcing of negative material in the article. I now believe that the retraction is covered at an appropriate level of detail and an appropriate quality of sourcing. Also, his association with OMICS seems to be covered only by OMICS-affiliated sources, was only at the level of editorial board membership, and (though dubious) does not rise to the level of academic misconduct; I agree with its removal from the article. So I think the negative material is now handled appropriately. Otherwise, his citation record gives him a pass of WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination is simply basing it from WP:GNG alone and that the sources are unsatisfactory, but in fact, for schools such as universities, a school website is at least enough to confirm degree-awarding status hence notable.

- This is an award given automatically if you stay in the army for long enough. It doesn't indicate bravery, having fought in noteworthy battles, or anything else. That your employer gives you a token recognition for staying with the company for X years is not uncommon at all. I fail to see why such a medal would be in any way notable, even if it is "recognized by the state" (which is in most countries the employer of the soldiers in the first place). Why would this be "significant in its field"? Fram (talk) 10:10, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- And of course, for everything that doesn't have a SNG, the GNG applies, not some presumed notability. Fram (talk) 10:11, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Right. Now, may I suggest you nominate Army Service Ribbon for deletion? The article's sources are no better, but I think the discussion would attract more editors than this one. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:33, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. I agree that this could probably use a good robust policy discussion. I would not want to see this article deleted on the basis of the absence of such a policy, in the case that there is general agreement that such a policy should be discussed, and likely (to some extent) developed. TimothyJosephWood 14:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Do we really need policies for all kind of articles specifically? The same was asked (by other people) at a recent AfD I started for a beauty pageant as well. We have a GNG which should apply to all articles, SNG are way too often a method to lower the bar for a certain type of article preferred by some group (a Wikiproject usually) which would otherwise have trouble meeting the GNG requirements. Basically, "keep because we don't have a policy for these" is simply an invalid reason, we have a policy (well, a guideline, all these notability rules are guidelines) and no good reason not to apply it here. Fram (talk) 14:40, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I would say the WP:NEXIST of this article in particular will be difficult to judge without input from someone who speaks the language.

Otherwise, I'm not suggesting a lowering of the bar so much as I think the bar, on these types of subjects, might not fit into a neat continuum. Looking at the US Army, with which I'm most familiar, the singularly important source re awards is AR 600–8–22, coverage elsewhere is just icing on the cake, and a lot of the sources you may find (armystudyguide etc.) I would expect to be mostly copy/paste or minor rewording of the official regulation.

Looking at the example above of the ASR, the award itself is not for outstanding actions, but the fact that it's going to be relevant to basically every notable soldier in the past 30 years, makes it seem a lot like understanding that award is going to be somewhat important in understanding all those individuals. TimothyJosephWood 14:57, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer not to discuss other articles at this AfD, as that only muddies the water in general. But in any case, the main source you give is a very fine one to use once notability has been established, but does absoluetly zero to establish that notability. And I doubt that the ASR is a notable aspect for any notable soldier of the last 30 years. It's like the certificate you get when you finish elementary school (well, in Belgium you get one, no idea if this happens in the US): almost every notable person will have it, but that doesn't mean that the certificate is notable or relevant for them. Fram (talk) 15:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right that we're getting well off topic. A discussion has been started at MilHist. TimothyJosephWood 15:08, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge From a quick look over of this discussion it sounds like 2 seperate policies are being conflated. A) The notability and suitability of the existence of this article on wikipedia, & B) does having this award confer notability on the recipient. "B" definately is a big no. However, "A" is what the discussion should be limited to. As to that, I can't read chinese so I can't assess the sources, but it sounds like it should either be kept or merged into another more general article on awards of the PLA (if such exists). cheers, Gecko G (talk) 16:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We have numerous articles on medals and it is reasonable to have articles on them, since they are awarded to many people and are therefore notable. The thought of an American or British service medal being deleted would be laughable, so this is clearly a case of WP:SYSTEMIC. Nothing wrong with such articles being sourced from official websites. In what possible way is deleting articles on such topics doing a service to Wikipedia? This is not spam or someone's mate, local club or street. This is a medal given to many people. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Any chance that you can use the Wikipedia definition of "notable" instead of your own? "they are awarded to many people and are therefore notable." squarely falls outside our notability reasons. Many non-soldiers get similar medals after 25 years of work or something similar, but we don't have articles on most of those. Oh no, systemic pro-military bias! Or perhaps I just nominated this one because I came across it during the Google translated articles cleanup process. I have nominated for deletion a British police force unit recently (it got redirected in the end), so using SYSTEMIC in your keep is a badly misguided attempt to poison the well. Usually, the more restrictive a medal is, the more notable it also is, not the other way around as you seem to claim here. Fram (talk) 13:57, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - As has already been pointed out, do you really think Army Service Ribbon would ever be deleted? That's systemic bias summarised for you! And as for notability, why do you think this medal is non-notable? You don't actually really say. Apparently because you think it's non-notable. We think it isn't. Please don't attempt to claim that your opinion has any more validity than those who disagree with you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Since there are some sources about it (like [20] or [21]) it would probably not be deleted no (although if these are the best, it would hardly qualify as notable anyway). A merge would be the best (there isn't that much that one can say about it), but I can imagine that there are too many people who believe that everything to do with the military and/or the US government is notable and deserves a separate article. That we may have an incorrect pro-US bias should not be "corrected" by loosening the rules for other topics as well, but by educating those biased editors. Fram (talk) 14:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As for the notability of the topic up for deletion, it is not up to me to prove a negative, it is up to you (plural) to prove the positive, i.e. that there are independent reliable sources with some indepth coverage of this. What you think is of no concern, what you show is what counts. Fram (talk) 14:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Playing the devil's advocate, I think Fram has the policy behind him: those medals fail GNG. At the same time, we seem to have a consensus here that they should be notable, so it is time for discussing some form of notability guideline for awards. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree. I am, however, somewhat tired of editors who do not appear to be able to apply basic common sense to AfD nominations. Wikipedia works on discussion, consensus and common sense, not on bureaucratic, unbending "rules" that must be applied no matter what, even if it is to the detriment of the project. And deleting an article on an award made by a major sovereign state to members of its armed forces clearly is to the detriment of the project. It's certainly not in any way to its benefit. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We'll have to disagree on that then, as I don't see anything detrimental in this deletion. For me it's basic common sense that if something has not been the subject of independent reliable sources, then it doesn't belong here: we should never be the first unrelated entity to give significant attention to anything, as we are not a secondary but a tertiary source. Your common sense is "this should get attention", mine is "it hasn't received attention". Changing the scope of the project to include more things is imo much more detrimental than excluding a few things but maintaining the scope, the basic purpose of Wikipedia. Fram (talk) 13:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Through over the years I keep moving closer to the deletionist camp, and I see where you are coming from Fram, I'll point out that we have numerous exceptions for "if something has not been the subject of independent reliable sources, then it doesn't belong here". For example, numerous biographies are considered notable due to the virtue of positions (politicians) or being "significant in their field" (scholars with high citation count) or winning games (sportspeople) or being popular (musicians) even if nobody wrote a single in-depth news piece about them. Outside biogs, we assume notability for most vehicle models (cars, planes, etc.) without in-depth coverage, an entry in some vehicle alamanc is sufficient (my personal gripe there, but hey, that's consensus I failed to overturn), and I am sure we can list a ton of similar ideas. So bottom line, lack of coverage for some subjects with majority of editors considers "commonsenscal" is fine for notability, and I think government-issued medals and awards qualify here. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:05, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  - Two of the articles references are dead, so archiving the links reveal them to be decent sources. The first one looks like a reliable secondary source, whereas the second (non-dead) link looks like it's a primary source which doesn't hinder its validity. The third link (which I archived) gives out a load of information about the medals, including their history and how they are awarded. It's enough to warrant an expansion. JAGUAR 14:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Absolutely no one on Wikipedia is more critical than me of categorizing biography articles based on automatic awards. (Think that's an empty boast?: take a look at all my recent nominations of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orders, decorations, and medals). But, I agree with @Gecko G: here: this nomination is conflating WP:NOTABILITY in the article space with how WP:DEFINING in the category space. Put another way, just because this medal isn't defining for the recipients who receive it, doesn't mean we shouldn't have an article on the award itself.RevelationDirect (talk) 10:03, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the categories are split out by nationality but a user might sometimes not actually know what nationality to check when looking for a particular show, a "one-stop shopping" list of all children's television series — List of children's television series, although admittedly it needs major reorganization too — is a valuable complement to the tree, but each individual national subcategory does not need its own standalone set of proprietary lists separate from the general one.

(The previous discussion was closed by a non-administrator as "no consensus", but it was close to a consensus to delete, with the only editor arguing for "keep" using such weak arguments as number of Google hits, and citing very minor coverage, amounting to passing mentions, which did little to suggest notability.)

Delete: fails WP:CORP. I'm not sure why the first AfD failed, seeing as the two keep arguments (one from the article's creator) were essentially "a famous album was recorded there, so the studio must be famous as well". Anyway, it looks very much as though the studio is now closed – the official website is dead, its Facebook and Twitter accounts haven't been updated since September 2014, the trading company appears to have been dissolved in November 2015, and its business address is currently up for sale or rent. So no chance of any future recordings adding to the studio's notability – there's really nothing else to say about the studio apart from the fact The Holy Bible was recorded there.

University of the Philippines College Admission Test[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a college admissions exam. It is not even a subunit of the university for which it exists, it is only a test to get into that university. No subject-specific guidelines exist for retaining this kind of article, and it does not meet WP:GNG on its own terms. KDS4444 (talk) 02:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is THE college admissions exam for THE national university of the Philippines, a system of constituent campuses. This is the only way into the most important university in the country (though arguably Ateneo de Manila is equally important) and determines not only admission, but which campus and which major. Does that make it important enough to be included in Wikipedia? It is not a nationwide test like the US ACT or SAT but it is significantly more determinant and for a top university. Neither the ACT or the SAT is the sole determinant of admission nor do they determine campus or major. Imagine a single test given to decide if a student entered an Ivy League school, which school, and what they could major in. Would that be notable enough to have its own article? --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 05:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What would make it notable enough to have its own article would be evidence of it having been the non-trivial subject of discussion in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources. Its mere existence or any argument that may be made for its importance are not by themselves enough.

At ticket:2016082210003947 an employee of the organization requested the deletion of this article, and in response, I am nominating this for for deletion.

This article was started in 2006. So far as I can tell, none of the information in it has ever been backed by a citation. It seems fair to consider whether this article meets Wikipedia's own criteria for inclusion. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. IPCS reports are widely cited in books, academic journals, and newspapers (see Google News/HighBeam/NYT search links above). This satisfies the spirit of the notability guidelines - many independent sources have taken notice of the organization's work, the organization has had a significant and demonstrable effect on the world. (It is also cited extensively in Wikipedia - 124 articles from 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and 1988 Maldives coup d'état to Wali Ahmad (Sandakai Mulla) and Water supply and sanitation in Bangladesh),

The University of Pennsylvannia's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) (the gold standard for evaluating think tanks) ranks IPCS in 2015 as 77th among all foreign policy and international affairs think tanks (the highest rank for an Indian think tank in that area), and 48th among all think tanks in China, India, Japan, and South Korea.[41]. They ranked 24th on the latter list in 2012.[42] So much has been published by IPCS that it can be tedious to find material about the organization, but some does exist, such as [43] Trim article so that it doesn't just echo the organization's website, keep, and improve. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:05, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Confessing I have not read the article, scanning it, I find it surprising it would be targetted for AfD. WP is littered with pages which are complete trash and stay there whereas this one describes an important multilateral body/talkshop, is a serious page on a serious subject (not some third-rate footballer in Outer Mongolia) and an effort has been made to source it. In the context of so much that needs deleting, this one definitely stays, in my view. sirlanz 01:02, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A search shows only 12 hits for this award on Google News, and only 15 on Google Books... None of these appears to discuss the awards themselves but instead are mentions of some production company or another receiving the award. While there are lots of plain Google hits, the number of reliable, independent, verifiable, published, non-trivial discussions seems to suggest this award is, in fact, not notable. Article has existed for 8 years with no new references beyond its own official website and its awards site (which are the same site). Maybe this one does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.

Not sure this artist meets notability requirements. The references are line listings with little substance.

Delete as it stands given failed verification of claimed sources - David Gerard (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the Maven Boys. As suspected, the Grammy and Juno nominations are not direct ones – the "Grammy nomination" was for Schoolboy Q's album Oxymoron, but Zalezy only features as co-writer and co-producer for one song, "Yay Yay", which only appears as a bonus track on the iTunes version of the album. Likewise, the "Juno nominations" are as co-writer/co-producer (among many others) on individual tracks on the Down with Webster album – I can't find any evidence yet where he contributed to the P Reign and Tre Mission albums. But the real point is that even all these "nominations" were as part of the Maven Boys production group, so there is nothing to indicate any individual notability outside of that group.

Diagramming software[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Ill-defined list that's never been otherwise since its creation in 2004. Functionally a spam magnet list of software, redundant with category:Diagramming software; I removed the spam magnet sections (one was half inline links) and there's hardly anything else to the article. Tagged as such since 2012. PROD was removed, though without the editor doing anything to fix the problems. This article is not useful and attracts spammers. If there is a useful article at this title, I strongly suspect WP:TNT would be needed first; those who feel this is a "keep", I urge you to convince by editing it to demonstrate another path out of its present problems, because waiting for others to fix it hasn't worked.

Delete Notability isn't temporary, but our views of notability sure have changed. In the last discussion, I only saw three sources presented to make the case for notability. The PPG source is good, the EVT link is dead, and Baseball America is a trade publication and its Prospect Guide, not a regular article, should receive less weight in determining notability. EVTrib does have an article on Alderson being drafted and one on being player of the year, but at this time I don't think that coverage is enough to meet the bar of notability. Also, his career is done, so his odds of meeting WP:BASE/N are almost nil. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While there are potentially valid notability claims being made here, in that BBC 1Xtra and CBBC are national services rather than local ones, this drops the ball for properly sourcing the claim — of the three sources here, one is a primary one, one is a Q&A-style interview in a "magazine" that looks for all the world more like a publicity platform for youth entrepreneurs than a real or neutral magazine, and the third is a dead link whose content is unverifiable. Even being a national radio or television host is not an inclusion freebie for an article that's this badly sourced.

Southwest Airlines Flight 345[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Nominated as a G4 recreation CSD. The article was slightly expanded with a few extra sources from the original, so I refused the CSD, but it is mostly the same as the previous version deleted at AfD, so bringing here. Black Kite (talk) 23:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or redirect - This is a likely search term, therefore, it should be kept or redirected to Southwest_Airlines#Incidents_and_accidents. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as G4 tagger per the previous afd. Pppery (talk) 00:12, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the last AfD is completely irrelevant because nearly all who commented believed that it would not be a hull loss. Essentially, the article was nominated prematurely; that is, not enough information as of late July 2013 to make an accurate assessment of delete vs. not delete. Since then, a lot of new information has come in, and the aircraft is indeed a hull loss. For this reason, I voted a Strong Keep (see below). --Eye Pee Pee Address (talk) 00:37, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Though there were no fatalities, this was a hull loss accident and I thought that this was generally considered sufficient to justify an article on wiki? The article has weaknesses, notably a lack of a definitive conclusion of pilot error (though this sounds like the conclusion) but does have a variety of sources. Nose wheel collapses are not uncommon, but landing on a nose wheel (as happened in this case) is much less common, as I understand it. Several delete !votes at the previous AfD noted that it was not a hull loss accident, or speculated that the aircraft would be repaired; according to the article, these suppositions were incorrect. EdChem (talk) 14:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the previous discussion referred, repeatedly, to WP:AIRCRASH, but as a hull-loss, this incident passed that criteria. Epson Salts (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Hull loss, death and/or injury is not necessarily a requirement to sustain an article. Also, recreation was not by original creator, but another editor. Mjroots (talk) 20:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Citing WP:AIRCRASH is completely inappropriate in this discussion; as the page itself says, Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting. Given that both AfD discussions for this stand-alone accident article have incorrectly relied on AIRCRASH, I think this needs other notability-based arguments to back up any !votes. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect; if the latter, then to Southwest_Airlines#Incidents_and_accidents, which has info on the landing.

Keep This article meets the criteria for a keep, in part, because it was a hull loss (plane destroyed). For years to come, readers will look up crashes of major airlines. This is one of them.

- ... which is an essay about whether accidents should be mentioned in airline/airport/aircraft type articles. Pppery (talk) 00:20, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - And which discusses notability guidelines sufficiently enough. Regardless, this is a notable accident. Shelbystripes (talk) 01:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's still an essay which explicitly recomends not to be cited in deletion discussions (see the quote provided by BlueMoonset above). Pppery (talk) 01:25, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - And it still discusses notability guidelines sufficiently. You are not adding anything further at this point, nor are you persuading me to change my opinion. This is a notable air crash. Shelbystripes (talk) 01:29, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the circumstances of the hull loss, backed up by ample reliable and verifiable sources, justifies retention. Alansohn (talk) 03:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - clearly an incident that caused a $15.5 million written off (total hull loss) must be included. It caused changes in Southwest's cockpit resource management (CRM). Also refer to Dallas News article and USA Today article. --Eye Pee Pee Address (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- An accident that causes a major airline to overhaul its training practices is certainly notable. Shelbystripes (talk) 05:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Allamah is not that similar to Ulama'. One is an honorific title and the other is a term for a class of people. However, I'm not sure what to do with this article. Although the title is mentioned is some encyclopedias like this one, it's hard to find coverage in RSs for it beyond a dictionary definition. Eperoton (talk) 01:27, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is the ulama-allamah relation similar to king-majesty or priest-monsignor? In other words, are people that have the occupation ulama addressed to with allamah? If so, I would not mind merging/redirecting --HyperGaruda (talk) 04:48, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can say yes. It is not exactly occupation. I will say that if a person is considered as well educated or knowledgeable on his subject preferably religious subject then he is titled as allamah.Syed Rahmat Ullah Shah (talk) 12:27, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see only a handful of names associated with that title. Not sure if that's because it's very selective or just not very common. Eperoton (talk) 05:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And by that I meant in books. It occurred to me that one often hears the combination "Allamah Dr." in the Arabic-language media. So, perhaps you are right in that can now be applied to any member of the Ulama as a personal mark of respect. In the absence of RSs on this point, I won't venture to say. Eperoton (talk) 13:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alim is used for male, Alimah for female, but this use is in its singular form. It is title for respect to some scholar often used for religious scholars. It is upto the reader how to perceive it as a claas or as a title.Uluma or Ulama is same but its plural form. It also sounds good if it simply merge to the original page Ulama.

Keep Allameh means polymath in the context of Muslim society while Ulama is the plural form of Aalim. In addition, there are a lot of people who have been described by this title such as Allameh Muhammad Iqbal , Allameh Tabatabai, Allameh Helli, Allamah Mawdudi, etc.--Seyyed(t-c) 02:47, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MezzoMezzo: While the article looks as a dictionary one, the issue, itself, is notable. When Polymath has an article, it is reasonable for Allamah as well. Please, reconsider your vote.--Seyyed(t-c) 02:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDICT. It is plausible that the article could be expanded and sourced to rise above being a dictionary definition, but in its present form it is not helpful. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:18, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. and expand. The term is not the exact equivalent , and is more than a directory entry. DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ulama. I agree the subjects are not identical, but there is overlap in the sense that both deal with those who have distinguished themselves in a scholarly way. I think that the content could be placed after Ulama#Usage of the word 'Alim' in the Quran and make sense. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 14:06, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway I'm Merging instead of keeping as whilst Billboard is a rs, There's nothing source-wise except that and the sources in the article are extremely poor so IMHO this is better off merged in to the singers article, Had there been even 2 sources I would've happily kept but inshort it's a non notable album which if kept would only be sent here sometime in the future, Thanks, (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 01:55, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Verónica Orozco per this from Billboard, which states "The actress and singer/songwriter's self-titled pop-debut went gold in Colombia". I'd say that constitutes a pretty decent success in her home country. The chances of coverage in Colombian sources not existing are extremely slim. --Michig (talk) 19:18, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CrazyFlie[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I have been unable to find any suitable sources. For example, the first couple of pages of results from a Google search for "CrazyFlie" contained several pages on the web site of the company producing CrazyFlie, web pages selling CrazyFlie, YouTube, several github pages, Twitter, instructions on using CrazyFlie, etc etc, but I found not a single case of substantial coverage in an independent reliable source. Trying adding other words in the search term along with "CrazyFlie" made no difference. The article was proposed for deletion, with lack of independent sources given as part of the reason. The creator of the article then removed the deletion proposal, and added a number of references, but they are merely reports on projects which have used CrazyFlie; while they all mention CrazyFlie in the course of describing the projects, none of them actually gives substantial coverage of CrazyFlie itself. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JamesBWatson, I created the page for Crazyflie this morning. I tried to add a few more sources to save it from deletion last time. But it seems it has been marked for deletion again. I am a grad student and this is my first time contributing to Wikipedia. I can see from the talk page that the deletion has been requested due to lack of independent sources. I would like to know what sort of sources I could get in order to improve the article. Because you are right when you say that googling Crazyflie only gives company links and github projects. Sadly it is a very small enterprise made by students like me. So finding myriad sources for it can be tough. Mostly people use it for projects and such. My motivation to create a page ironically, was because when I started working on the project and decided to Google Crazyflie, I didn't find any Wikipedia page for it and I wanted to add one,so that students like me , who want to work on Crazyflie have some basic information to start with. I have also not done this due to any collaboration with the company or to advertise about them. Infact I even mentioned a few problems it has, to be as unbiased as I could. I really want to save the page. So any help or insight will be highly appreciated.

@Jayneesh: (aka Jayneeshw) I fully understand what you are saying, and I do sympathise with you, as I have explained at greater length on your talk page. However, I'm afraid that what you are saying is actually confirmation that the subject does not satisfy Wikipedia's requirements for an article. A "very small enterprise made by students" for which finding sources is "tough" pretty certainly won't satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Hamilton Lane[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completing nomination on behalf of Mjnm2015 (talk · contribs). They offered no rationale, but after looking into the matter, I believe that the notability of this company is unclear. The company does exist, which is good as far as it goes, but I don't see anything in third party, independent sources that talks about the company as a company. I see lots of PR newswire-style market movements - Hamilton Lane added X company to Y fund and such - but that doesn't confer notability. Even if the company were notable, we lack sources with which to build a proper article. I'm happy to withdraw this if someone can find sources showing the company to be notable, but I'm coming up blank. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:20, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- searching for "Hamilton Lane" "private equity" yields some coverage, such as "Hamilton Lane Slams Secondaries as Zombie Lifeline" & more (link). But it's mostly about the deals it participated in, other firms it plans to acquire, and funds it raised.

Comment on sources: I'm not convinced by the sources. We require sources specifically about the film. As for the sources in the article:

The Guardian TV Listing This is essentially a TV listing. Even if I consider this a review, it is a capsule review which still doesn't satisfy WP:NFSOURCES.
Listing on BBC - This is clearly not an independent sources. I mean BBC is obviously going to write about it.
The Cosmic Compendium: Interstellar Travel - Self Published Book I don't think this is a reliable source considering that this is a self published book (by Lulu.com).
KQEK Doesn't satisfy WP:NFSOURCES. This seems to come under WP:USERGENERATED/WP:SPS. The site doesn't seem to be well known and I'm unable to see if they have an editorial process.
Achieving the Rare: Robert F. Christy's Journey in Physics and Beyond Reliable but trivial coverage. I looked at the book and there is simply a passing mention of the movie in a sentence about Robert Christy being consulted. Essentially the entire coverage is one sentence.
Race, Ethnicity and Nuclear War: Representations of Nuclear Weapons and Post-apocalyptic Worlds Again, the name of the film is simply listed in the book with no other information.

Looking at the sources, I'm not convinced that we should keep this article. I'm willing to however redirect it to an appropriate target such as Project Orion (nuclear propulsion)#Depictions on film. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've added a number of references to the article. The most important ones include this, this, and this news video. The difficulty with this guy though is that, due to his birth country and where he's worked, sources are really disparate across multiple languages and that makes them hard to locate. There are sources in Dutch from his homeland, sources in Chinese from his early martial arts films with Jackie Chan and others, sources in Thai for the various other martial arts movies he did in Thailand, and recently sources in Hindi and others for his work over the past few years in Bollywood films.

Comment What is a "word"? This is a list of dictionaries. We already have lists of dictionaries Lists_of_dictionaries--Savonneux (talk) 08:27, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Each dictionary will have a pretty precise idea of what it counts as a word. Of course, these aren't always directly comparable across dictionaries and much less so across languages, but they do give a reasonable indication of the size and comprehensiveness of the dictionary. This list doesn't overlap with Lists_of_dictionaries, which is a list of lists. Uanfala (talk) 08:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware that it is a list of lists. The lists that the list lists are lists of dictionaries though. The article Headword says These values are cited by the dictionary makers, and may not use exactly the same definition of a headword. In addition, headwords may not accurately reflect a dictionary's size. So we have one page that says dictionary word counts are arbitrary, for lack of a better term, and not comparable across languages and this list which does directly compare them. Good thing we have Category:Articles contradicting other articles--Savonneux (talk) 11:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All the lists there are language- or subject-specific and I can't see how they could possibly overlap in scope with the list brought to this AfD. As for the caveats that go with the number of headwords as a measure of dictionary size, they are quite reasonable, but they are from making it anywhere near arbitrary. Much greater caveats go for example with the use of GDP, but it's still a useful indicator of a country's economic development and we won't think of deleting any of the Lists of countries by GDP. Uanfala (talk) 12:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
GDP is all in units of money. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet but is ice cream one word or two.--Savonneux (talk) 13:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are definitions for both words and headwords. Each dictionary needs at least a de facto (case-by-case) one for each of both terms. Of course competing definitions must be aknowledged for, as should other issues too (see the original discussion). I agree that the title might not be the best one, but I think it is relevant to have a list of languages by number of words on authoritative dictionaries (or maybe replace words by entries, and detail each type when available). Because of languages and not because of dictionaries. It should include clarifications on how a language/dictionary pair treats issues that might affect the number. The article is relevant both to show how dificult it is to compare between languages as well as for the value of the specific comparison itself. Comment: I think the very fact that there was a discussion for renaming (currently closed without consensus) serves as argument that there is (at least some) support for it to be kept.Cato censor (talk) 16:20, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is literally the definition of synthesis.--Savonneux (talk) 04:28, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I follow you. All I proposed may be sourced and worded in a way that does not add qualifiers or coordinating conjunctions that could make it amount to WP:SYN. Cato censor (talk) 13:00, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The experts in every dictionary must define to obviuosly difficult matter of what counts as a word. Is ice cream a word or not? Well, for that question spanish has the Real Academia de la Lengua Española and french has the equivalent. Instead od deleting it, it could be improved explaining the caveats of each language in a new column. --Jbaranao (talk) 17:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is at best a synthesis of not-totally-comparable data. It's vanishingly unlikely that, say, Duden and Shogakukan will have the same standards for what counts as a headword. Apparently the Svenska Akademien has only completed A-T, so there's obvious incommensurability among the dictionaries. Furthermore, any such list necessarily privileges the selected dictionaries' definitions of "word" above other, equally valid possible definitions and possible counts. The selection category is words "included in the dictionary considered the most authoritative or complete", but considered by whom? the Wikipedian who added that line to the chart? I don't see how this can be anything other than original research. Cnilep (talk) 02:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Cnilep: what do you think about restructuring it into a list of dictionaries by number of words (in the absence of a readily available better indicator of size)? Uanfala (talk) 08:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a very problematic way of comparing languages, and constitutes WP:OR, incompetently done. Example: The entry for Dutch, based on the 14th edition of the Van Dale lists the number of Words as 90,000. Had one of the contributors instead used the Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal the Approximate number of words would have increased fivefold, to 450,000. The aim of the article per [[54]] appears to be to establish the POV that some languages are "richer" than others. To use the word count in a dictionary for that is ahem, unscientific.Mduvekot (talk) 17:12, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Mduvekot:, do you have any objections to repurposing the article into a list of dictionaries? Uanfala (talk) 17:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: I have a problem with the premise of the article, regardless of its name: that something meaningful can be said about a language on the basis of the number of lemmas in a dictionary. Unless you can find several reliable sources that says that the number of headwords in a dictionary correlates to some property of the language, we should not have an article that is based on the assumption that such a correlation exists. Mduvekot (talk) 13:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm no expert on WP policies, but I think most of the concerns raised here are a matter of WP:AQU. Instead of discussing its deletion two weeks after creation and even before the article's name is settled, shouldn't we be focused on improving it and attemtping to make it viable first, as per WP:BEFORE crit. C? As far as I understand, the concern for a number of commenters in this discussion is about form rather than substance. Cato censor (talk) 12:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: of course this may be a problematic way of comparing/listing languages, but it may become objective and sourced as well. Just as you can compare/list flags by color, as long as you don't use that to measure beauty. Cato censor (talk) 12:55, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Colours don't vary between languages though. Here's an entire paper on the concept of what a word is [55] The gist of it is that -> Linguists have no good basis for identifying words across languages (basically that morphology and syntax are very important, which vary drastically, in providing meaning). It's a false comparison.--Savonneux (talk) 13:15, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, let's keep it a list, without any reference to comparison? Cato censor (talk) 13:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - So, first of all, it definitely cannot keep the current title/frame. There is no objective number of words. Language is constantly developing, and even if we took a snapshot, none of these publications actually capture the whole language. In English, for example, you'd have to combine the OED with all manner of specialized/technical/scientific jargon, throw Urban Dictionary in there, etc. It is interesting, however, to think about a list of dictionaries by number of words -- and there are plenty of sources in the history of dictionaries/lexicography as well as the histories of reference, encyclopedias, writing, etc. that would support such a list. The difficult thing is finding sources that span up to the present, and then presenting them in a way that isn't WP:SYNTH. Ideally, we'd be drawing from other reliable sources' similar lists -- and this list does not appear to cite any such sources, as far as I can see... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:53, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: At this point the list is a list of dictionaries with most headwords. It has little to do with contemporary languages as many of the dictionaries collect, well, linguistic units in use for centuries (e.g. the Deutsches Wörterbuch and the Oxford English Dictionary) or even for millennia (the Zhonghua Zihai). Apart from the seemingly unsurmountable difficulties of defining word across languages at least the Zhonghua Zihai doesn’t even pretend to collect words, but only characters (many of which were only used on one occasion or in one name). There are descriptive dictionaries like the OED that claim to record all words in (current and historical) use and prescriptive ones like the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia that claim to include only words considered worthy to be recommended for formal style. I am afraid there is little hope for this mess to ever turn into something tidy and encyclopaedic. A well-defined list of descriptive word dictionaries of contemporary standard and dialectal language use, for instance, simply doesn’t seem feasible. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 10:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I also recommend reading How do British and American attitudes to dictionaries differ?. Every nation — let alone speech community — has their own notion of what purpose a dictionary serves. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 10:37, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Neutral; found a source, see below 04:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC) I can't find any RS comparing languages by any kind of vocabulary-size metric, including sources comparing dictionary size, so the topic fails WP:NLIST. Nation & Waring 1997 note that some research has tried to extract workable values for word family count in particular dictionaries, but don't say anything about interlingual comparisons. Discussion participants have presented good arguments that this is probably because it's a fundamentally poor (that is, unencyclopedic) question: there's too much variation in the cultural roles and scopes of a dictionary, and there's no evidence that a language's total vocabulary size (if measurable) even matters, especially considering that no native speaker can know all the words in their own language. FourViolas (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - dubious original research. I am pretty much sure the comparison is 'oranges vs apples', because different vocabularies are quite possibly based in different language registers; eg. some include obsolete words, while other are not, etc. Also, coverage of slangs, argot, jargons, regionalisms an other corpora. In other words I concur with those who say this article must be based on RS which compare languages by word count. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:50, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to find them, but haven't; do you know of any? FourViolas (talk) 04:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on. http://doi.dx.org/10.1093/applin/14.2.188 (Metacognitive and Other Knowledge about the Mental Lexicon)contains a detailed analysis of the number of words in the OED (1st and 2nd ed.), Webster's Third New International, Webster's Unabridged, and the Random House Unabridged. There's some secondary material about what counts as a "word" for different purposes, and the relation between dictionary size and the number of words in a language (with estimates from several scholars for the latter). This makes me wonder if List of dictionaries by number of words or at least List of English-language dictionaries by number of words meets NLIST. Not sure yet. There's also a whole journal called "Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America", which I'd missed and which looks promising.
