The result was Speedy delete per CSD A4: This is substantially the same article as the many previous versions which were deleted, the author deliberately recreated it despite the AfD results (see User talk:JahshakaVR#update) and there appears to be a conflict of interest between the author and the topic. As such, I don't think that we need a full AfD. I've salted this article name and Jahshaka to try to stop this spamming. Nick-D (talk) 22:18, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This article had previously been deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jahshaka. It has since been re-created and deleted as a repost, but the current version differs in content and unlike the previously discussed one cites a reliable third-party source, namely German magazine LinuxUser (it also cites OSNews, but I couldn't find any indication that source is subject to editorial oversight). This, and a couple of less detailed results found by Google News, puts Jahshaka from "clearly not notable" into "debatable" in my book, though personally I don't think it's enough.

(edit conflict) Keep. According to Google Scholar an author of several very highly cited papers, high citations overall and high GS h-index (33) – all amounting to a very convincing case for passing WP:PROF#C1. @RileyBugz: some friendly advice: be especially diligent with step 3 of WP:BEFORE when nominating articles in topics you're not overly familiar with, because these days there's almost always an applicable subject-specific notability guideline in addition to the GNG. – Joe (talk) 02:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See film notability guidelines. This is an unreleased film. Unreleased films seldom have their own articles unless the production is itself notable, and this article doesn't indicate anything notable about production.

This article has only four sources; two are on the Donner Canadian Foundation's own website, while the other two are about instances of the award being won by individuals rather than about the award itself. A search on Google Books and Google News was also unable to reveal any sources describing the award in depth. The article thus violates WP:RS and WP:V. In addition, the author was/is likely either a WP:SPA or a paid editor, since the only other article they have edited, Canada 3.0, was also created by them and reads mostly as an advertisement. Moaz786 (talk to me or see what I've been doing) 19:33, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I ran a news archive search on Proquest and lots of sources popped up, major Canadian newspapers cover nominaitons for this Prize, write up the winners, etc. Article may have been wirtten by a staff member (one who's not very good at writing up WP articles) but the prize is real, the outfit that gives it out is a big deal (in the Canadian govt. policy world) and WP:RS write this prize up.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:58, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, golly, went to look at article (okay, so I approached this search first, then read article; so shoot me) but there's the thing, Nom says "pm;y 4 sources" , yeah, but 2 of those those sources are the CBC. @Moaz786: Hi, you wanna think about withdrawing this? Save everybody here some time?E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:03, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Those sources talk about people having won the prize, without talking about the prize itself in depth. Moaz786 (talk to me or see what I've been doing) 20:14, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Here's CIRANO on the Donner Prize: [8], but, the question here is notability. A topic can be kept as notable, but tagged for needing more information on particular aspects, or other improvements. The question at AFT is not whether an article is as good as it could/should be, but simply whether the topic itself is notable enough so that a good article can be created.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:03, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You will notice that the Globe and Mail article talks about a completely different "Griffin Prize", not the Donner Prize. The CIRANO article does not talk in depth about the prize; there is literally only one sentence about it. That leaves only one source about the actual prize. In addition, most of the winners remain unsourced. Moaz786 (talk to me or see what I've been doing) 13:47, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, here's a search of the Globe and Mail: [11]. Notability is simply not in doubt. But note that the first hit on that search [12] reads, in part: "the Donner, one of Canada’s richest non-fiction awards, which was established in 1998 to celebrate “excellence and innovation in Canadian public policy thinking, writing and research.”" and continues by listing the extremely distinguished judges.
What you need to understand is that many terse and undersourced articles come to AFD. the task here is to assess whether the topic is notable. It can be tagged for improvement, in the hope that someone will take the time to source and expand it. But the Donner Prize is clearly notable; even if the article needs improvement, as do most articles on Wikipedia. Also Note that we do regard the publications - including webpages - of reputable Prize committees as WP:RS for the prizes they award. WP:SNOWBALL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:32, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep while I admit to having a certain bias as a Canadian, I think that E.M.Gregory has established notability. The Globe and Mail's description of the importance of the prize is persuasive. And WP:CORPDEPTH does suggest we consider the breadth of coverage, even if the depth isn't always apparent. What we do have does rise about routine events. So I think we have enough for a main article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:26, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Nomination withdrawn (non-admin closure). Publication appears to have significant history and frequent citations in other reliable sources, therefore meets basic criteria for newspapers/magazines according to Wikipedia:Notability (media). The latter is not a notability guideline, nevertheless current consensus appears to be that this is an important topic. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:52, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've cited an independent reliable source confirming that this is the world's oldest continuously published aviation magazine, and note that the "books" and "scholar" searches linked above show that this publication is very highly cited in academic works. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:46, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding that source. Since the topic occupies less than a single paragraph in the book, I'm not sure it's notable enough for a standalone article, though it could be worked into a different article. As for the magazine being "very highly cited", that's beside the point. Notability requires significant coverage in independent sources. According to WP:GNG, "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content", and "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:45, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

have served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history
are considered by reliable sources to be authoritative in their subject area
are frequently cited by other reliable sources
are significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets

Can't see the point of a redirect - in other years where there has not been an AFF Beach Soccer Championship (for example 2015 AFF Beach Soccer Championship, 2013 AFF Beach Soccer Championship), there is no redirect. The page you would be redirecting to (AFF Beach Soccer Championship) also has erroneous information about the 2016 tournament that did not take place, and dubious information about a 2017 tournament, which mentions 8 teams taking part but lists only 5 (the same editor has provided the information). The same editor has also entered a completely made-up schedule for the 2017 AFC Beach Soccer Championship, and is clearly publishing imaginary information, for whatever reason. If the 2016 page is to be kept, then all results and scorers should be removed, and a simple note at the top needs to be written to say that the tournament was scheduled, but then postponed, and eventually not played. This information can be found with a 5 or 10 minute search of the internet. Mcruic (talk) 09:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've not looked at how long ago it started but lets say the AFF started in 2005 then I assumed from 2005 to now all had articles, If they don't then I won't object to it being deleted. –Davey2010Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 13:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
2014 was the first and only edition so far. There was also an unofficial edition in 2008 (not organised by AFF, the Raja Muda Johor Cup, which actually had 9 AFF countries competing compared to the 2014 official event's 7). The AFF-organised event was meant to be biennial - but this year's edition was postponed. It is not clear yet whether it will be held next year, or if this edition will just be skipped and the next edition will be played in 2018. Possibly the page could be left, but the fake content (results, goalscorers) could be taken out and a note could be made to say the tournament was scheduled but not held. I am not sure of the protocol for "scheduled tournaments that didn't take place" - are they deemed sufficiently noteworthy to have their own page? Mcruic (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think some can be if there's alot of news coverage around it - If there's not then I'd generally say no they're not, Anyway tanks for explaining that (I've just checked the article and indeed they've only had one event so far so seems silly to keep this), Anyway thanks again. –Davey2010Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 01:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete under A11 criteria. NördicNightfury 10:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article mentioned that the event took place in early December, but there are no valid sources that I could find on English Google that support the claim. I have also had a look by editing the name, I have found one for a similar Vietnamese-hosted event in September but web page appears to be malformed. I'm on the edge for this one at the moment, until I can safely say there is no other sources available, I will have to go for tentative delete.NördicNightfury 10:33, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
2nd edit I have found a better page here but it doesn't have any significant details; this may be the source that we are looking for. NördicNightfury 10:43, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
These are 2 completely different tournaments. The "Asian Beach Games" are a biennial multi-sport event held by the Asian Olympic Council for all Asian countries - beach soccer is one of the sports at that event. The "AFF Beach Soccer Championship" is for members of AFF only (ASEAN Football Federation - for ASEAN (i.e. Southeast Asian) countries). The AFF Beach Soccer Championship was not held this year - as per the official AFF website (http://www.aseanfootball.org/v2/aff-beach-soccer/aff-beach-soccer-championship-2016/) This should be deleted without question as all the information on the page is fictional. There is also no news in Vietnamese-language news sites - which is unusual considering they supposedly won the tournament... Mcruic (talk) 14:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all, these legally recognized civil divisions are rather clear-cut acceptable topics per WP:GEOLAND: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can remain notable, because notability encompasses their entire history." They are properly cited to GNIS (to confirm legal recognition as a civil district, even if inactive) and, at least for those I checked, an additional source for etymology. I'd also add that if you're assuming a dearth of WP:RS coverage based on internet searches alone, that these sorts of topics are most likely to be fleshed out from dead tree sources; easier for editors with such means to do so if the article already exists.

Delete. I can't find anything to show notability for this book and it doesn't look like there is any coverage out there that was written by a independent, reliable source. Everything was either paid for by the author (or a representative) or it was written by the author himself. There isn't even any coverage from the book blogs and while those can't be used as a RS on here, the lack of chatter from that sector is sometimes fairly telling - especially for self-published or indie books.

Hello, oh god. The discussion threads here are still extremely confusing to navigate. Anyway, I'm definitely planing on expanding the article on Artikal Music as much as possible. This label is very important in the dubstep scene at the moment and the sole source mentioned reflects that.
I'd love to know what kind of aditional sources besides their official website and official release list you guys think is required for a music label. I can find interviews and music stores profiles but those wouldn't be a proof of a statement or anything, just another way of validating the label exists. But yeah, this and other labels I plan to add are very important to the dubstep and bass community and we feel it's time they get the recognition they deserve plus, I want to do it the right way so the articles don't get deleted.
