C1N1K1LL discography[edit]

C1N1K1LL discography (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Discography of a band whose article was speedied A7 for lacking any substantive claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC, and whose sole album with an article was then speedied A9. Accordingly, I then speedied the discography — but was then challenged by one editor on the grounds that as neither A7 nor A9 makes any specific provision for artists' discographies, there were no valid speedy grounds at all (not even the snowball clause was acceptable) and the discography thus had to be kept for seven full days of process wonkery even though my opponent fully agrees with its deletion.
This discography, for the record, is every bit as unsourced and unsourceable as the band's article was (reliable source coverage at big fat zero on Google), and fails to even name the chart the albums purportedly attained their claimed chart positions on — and because artists do not automatically get standalone discography articles as separate topics from their main article, but rather get that treatment only when the main article is long enough to need spinoffs for size management purposes, it should never actually have been left to stand alone as a separate article in the first place. So if it had been handled properly, i.e. redirected back to the band article, it would have become speediable as a G8 (redirect to a nonexistent page).
So I guess my real question has less to do with whether this is deletable or not — that's a no-brainer — and more to do with asking whether there's the will to formally establish a consensus that speedy deleted artists' discography articles should become eligible for speedy under A9 if the artist and all of the albums in the discography are all redlinks, or under A7 on the grounds that it's not really a true standalone topic in its own right, so much as a formatting choice that we sometimes apply to the band's article, and is thus really a subpage of the deleted article rather than an independent topic. Bearcat (talk) 23:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia process essentially requires admins to reverse their own speedy deletion, and take it to another forum for wider discussion, if somebody expresses an objection after the fact. Bearcat (talk) 00:11, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In that case delete per original PROD. As I said, it's very much a borderline case, with Boing! said Zebedee: thinking this meets A9, and me A7 because it's indirectly about the band itself, and that this should really have been on the band's article, which is A7-able. I'm not sure if A9 covers discographies but apparently not. Discographies are basically catalogues of an artist's albums or songs, whereas I think A9 only covers individual albums or songs, though I could be wrong. But I suppose this is technically outside CSD's scope because, as stated, neither specifically state anything about discographies; by default they're not quite about albums/songs (A9), and not quite about a band or singer (A7). They're sort of in-between. Though I suppose that had the band's article been kept, it wouldn't have been an A9 in any case. Adam9007 (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to say that the article is not about a discography; it is a discography, so I agree that they should be speediable if the artist and the albums are redlinks. But under A7 or A9 I'm not sure. Adam9007 (talk) 00:56, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With very limited local coverage of the WP:ROUTINE nature and basically nothing about her life or accomplishments other then she lived, had a family, and eventually died, there is no notability established here.

She was the oldest living person in Texas at the time of her death, but not the oldest ever person in/from Texas.

I guess I will just repeat what was said in the last deletion discussion. Obviously this article was moved from the List of rampage killers (school massacres) article (which has since been restored) without the user even making a proposal and a consensus being reached in the latter's talk page. Also, according to Millionsandbillions, this article violates WP:NOTCENSORED by redacting the names of the perpetrators. In addition, there seemed to be a "single-editor ownership" going on before the creator got banned, suggesting a skewed intention for the article at best.

"The nominator doesn't give a coherent rationale for deletion anyway." I will repeat myself, "Obviously this article was moved from the List of rampage killers (school massacres) article (which has since been restored) without the user even making a proposal and a consensus being reached in the latter's talk page." Parsley Man (talk) 23:43, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
List of school massacres by death toll certainly copies the style and format of List of rampage killers (school massacres) but it appears to list very different things (i.e. the massacres not the perpetrators). List of rampage killers (school massacres) is still there at that target (I assume any redirect was reverted). The original list seems hardly better (I would say worse, considering we have no widespread definition of "rampage killer"). I'll assume you simply didn't express your argument very well, however, if an article started by being copied from another article, that isn't a valid reason for deletion is it? Sionk (talk) 00:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the redirect was reverted; I checked the history. And yes, an article started by being copied from another article should be deleted validly. Parsley Man (talk) 00:16, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A replication of the same article could be deleted validly. But we're not talking about that at all here. They're now very different in content. Sionk (talk) 00:26, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What about the way it was created without a proposal even being made first? Parsley Man (talk) 00:29, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Articles aren't normally created after making a "proposal", they are just created. And certainly never deleted just because a proposal hadn't been made before creating them (or any other procedural issue). You reiterate this point, but it's invalid. LjL (talk) 00:48, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)To be honest, I don't see any evidence of a discussion before List of rampage killers (school massacres) was created from List of rampage killers. Sometimes it is good practise to discuss an article split. But here someone has created a list of something different, though in a similar style. If there is a problem perceived with List of school massacres by death toll it can be dealt with in the normal way, discussion and editing/cleanup. Sionk (talk) 00:52, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
LjL said this, and I quote: "Discussions closed as "no consensus" (like the previous AFD for this article) can properly be re-opened." Parsley Man (talk) 23:53, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, but nothing in this article's current nomination actually suggests it should be deleted, but rather, fixed and improved. It's not proper to delete an article that does belong on Wikipedia just because the present state of it is suboptimal, or other reasons such as the creator being blocked or an agenda having been pushed in the pastr. LjL (talk) 00:05, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The List of rampage killers (school massacres) article already covers a majority of the events included in this article, the remainder can be categorized or is already categorized in other appropriate lists such as List of battles and other violent events by death toll, and this article's creation goes against Wikipedia's standards of proposing for it and seeking a consensus (as it was done right off the bat without anyone else being aware of it), WP:NOTCENSORED is being violated by the redacting of names. Parsley Man (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So debate in favor of re-addition of the names, not of deletion of the article. I simply loathe it when people want to delete articles because their current content violates a "rule", when they could simply be fixed to adhere to that rule instead. As to rampage killers, I'd say the topic of massacres is a lot more notable than the topic of individual killers (note that single massacres may be performed by more than one individual). By the way, creation of articles doesn't have to follow any particular standards of proposing it etc etc. In fact, there is a "WP:Be bold and just do it" "standard". LjL (talk) 00:16, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thing is, the List of rampage killers (school massacres) article, which DOES include the names, has already been restored. And what kind of standard is that?! It sounds like it could lead to some problems. Parsley Man (talk) 00:21, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If the two articles entirely overlap each other, then they can be merged, without a need for deleting one of them. The "standard" is a Wikipedia guideline, and while of course it must be applied in concert with all the other guidelines, it seems to have contributed to creating a successful encyclopedia where people are bold and edit.

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a candidate in a party primary for a future election. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before he became a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. This article, however, fails to properly demonstrate that he had preexisting notability as a businessman: his business career is sourced entirely to mentions of it by way of background information in coverage of the candidacy, which is not how you get a person over our inclusion rules for businesspeople either.

I've never seen an article in mainspace which lacks notability more than this does, and see another editor fight for it to stay in mainspace as much as this article. I mean, seriously. Three short sentences, a chart table with two chartings, and two references. There is nothing notable about this song, it's not a single, there's no third party sources or independant coverage, it hasn't won any awards or been nominated for any. Letting the article remain in mainspace in order for it to "expand over time" in the hope that it will become notable is not a good enough reason for it stay in mainspace, AnotherBeliever. You insist on the article not being redirect and keep reverting multiple editors who are redirecting these non-notable articles.  — Calvin999 17:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's all very well and good supplying sources, but they aren't any use here. The article is still not notable.  — Calvin999 22:18, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • What do you mean? Why aren't these sources any use? They seem quite appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because this is an AfD? No one reading the article can see these sources or the info they may contain about the song. These sources need to be put in the article, but you don't wanna do that. The time you've spent finding sources and going back and forth here, you could have finished the article or at least had something possibly half way decent to save it from being deleted.  — Calvin999 22:26, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, but notability is not established based on the length of an article. Yes, these sources should be added to the article, but this is a discussion about notability, not an article quality assessment. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:Notability (music) does note that songs must have enough material to grow beyond a stub, though. Even if all the sources listed above were implemented, album reviews and Adele's own commentary DO NOT COUNT as sufficient coverage to warrant a song article. Of the sources listed, the only ones that really give a quality amount of detail are those first two links from The Guardian (the credibility of "Bustle" is questionable). Multiple links from one publication essentially count as one source talking about something, and one good publication covering the song independently (outside of album reviews/artist commentary) simply isn't enough.

Calvin999, inclusion on Wikipedia is based on notability, not on what the current state of the Wikipedia article is. You misunderstand WP:AfD and the deletion process. Moreover, you are expected to do WP:BEFORE (please read all of that, particularly B2, C1, D1, and D3) prior to nominating an article for deletion. Hopefully going forward you will remember that.

Article was reverted out of move to draftspace. The company QLOC is not the subject of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search, which provides a torrent of one-sentence mentions (mainly that QLOC is the localizer for a single game) and nothing in-depth about the company or its history, even from our Polish sources. Anything at greater length is a press release, such as a job listing, and that doesn't count for notability.

This article quite clearly lacks notability. Yes it charted in 11 countries, but that doesn't make it so. There's only song reviews as part of an album review, there's no independant coverage, no other third party sources, no awards or special recognition, it's not a single. There's no point creating articles for the sake of doing so, and that is what is being done here. People can go on about letting it be improved over time all they like, but until then, it will still be not notable for mainspace. if you really feel that strongly about the article staying, be bold and improve it yourself steadfastly so there's actually something worth reading instead of just saying to let it ride and see how it goes.  — Calvin999 11:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge to 25 (Adele album) per the guidelines in WP:NSONG "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created." I cannot find any coverage of the song outside that context so merging seems appropriate. Winner 42 Talk to me! 18:49, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSONGS, without any independent third party notability its just a bunch of chart information which are easily available at Adele discography. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 09:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no such thing as a song being notable. The article needs to be notable. The article being so short with next to no valuable or interesting prose is a reason to list it for deletion. No one will expand this over time.  — Calvin999 17:32, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Huh? Yes, there is such a thing as a song being notable. This song is notable, and should therefore have a Wikipedia article. Just because the article is short doesn't mean it can't be kept and expanded, nor is there a reason to assume that no one will ever be willing to make improvements. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please elucidate upon how this song is notable, using the notability guidelines.  — Calvin999 17:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure. I'm sure you are familiar with Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Songs, which says songs are notable if they "have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label". Yes, it also says, "coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability", but this is not a problem for "Million Years Ago":
Extended content
Yes, I realize some of these sources are repetitive, but publications around the world have discussed this song. Here are some other sources that could be used:
Keep in mind the song has charted in multiple nations. Between the composition details, chart success, and live performances, there is certainly enough to justify an article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And so why are these not in the article? They aren't much use otherwise. Catch my drift? Charting does not automatically invoke notability, by the way. It's not as if the song hit number-one or is certified, either. Instead of arguing and pasting a load of URLs here, why don't you be WP:BOLD and get on with trying to save this article and improve it right now? Otherwise, this article will be deleted. You would earn my respect if you actually actioned what you are saying instead of just talking about it.  — Calvin999 17:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why aren't the sources in the article? Because someone hasn't added them yet. That doesn't mean the song is non-notable and so the article should be deleted, sorry. I understand that charting doesn't automatically mean notability, hence why I posted a number of articles above. And no offense, but I don't edit Wikipedia for your respect. I may get around to expanding this article, but I am making no promises at this time. Again, just because I am not willing to stop everything and expand this article per your demand does not mean this song is not notable and worthy of a Wikipedia article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:00, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And probably never would, at least not all of them. You keep saying it's notable and should stay, but not willing to do something about it and commit to actually improving it. In the time :that we have been going back and forth, you could have considerably expanded it by now.  — Calvin999 18:02, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You are right. But my time has instead been wasted defending the deletion of a notable song. It seems you are punishing me and the article for not being willing to personally expand it at this very moment. Wikipedia is a longterm project, a work in progress. There are major improvements that can be made to this article. I hope other editors will agree that the song is notable and the article should be kept. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the article is nominated for deletion right now, and there's no time like the present to save it from being deleted, or least try to. AfD is not a long term process. The notability lies in the sourcing. At the moment, there is no notability.  — Calvin999 18:10, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts exactly. AB you create stub class articles and then cry foul when someone redirects and nominates for deletion. Its getting annoying now, if you are so bothered about articles, why can't you just expand them in your sandbox and then move them into mainspace? That's what I always do and god forbid none of which I created have ever been nominated. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 20:11, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not mischaracterize me. I did not create this stub. I created the original redirect. I am not crying foul. I am simply expressing my opinion which is that this song is notable and worthy of its own Wikipedia article. Nothing more. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:27, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • But the sources are not in the article at present. You can't presume notability based on what could be added. Also, charting does not automatically mean it is notable.  — Calvin999 21:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ETA-RAM fails the WP:Notability policy. The article claims that ETA-RAM is a novel random-access memory, and makes several vague and dubious claims concerning its novelty, none of which cite sources considered to be reliable per WP:RS. The references and external links provided by the article are identical and broken. A Google web search for ETA-RAM site:etasemi.com does not even return any results for this technology. The Eta Semiconductor site lists on high-frequency power converters and radio-frequency receivers as the only products and technologies of this company. It could be possible that ETA RAM was discontinued (which casts doubt on its claimed merits), but the Wayback Machine does not have any archived pages from etasemi.com because the site is excluded by a robots.txt file. A Google Web search for ETA-RAM -Wikipedia returns no relevant (that is, results that are not copies of this article) results in the first 100 results. A Google Books and Scholar search for ETA-RAM "ETA Semiconductor" returns no exact (or relevant) results for former, and no results for the latter. A Google Scholar search for author:"Eta Semiconductor returns 16 US patents. Of these 16 patents, 8 pertain to power converters, 4 to capacitors, and 4 to transistors. A quick read of their abstracts, and a search of these results, does not suggest that these patents describe technologies whose application is computer memory, nor have these patents been cited by any relevant item that would suggest that the described technologies were in any way notable. Search for the ETA-RAM keyword and Eta Semiconductor in author affiliations at the IEEE Xplore Digital Library returned no results. A search of EE Times site for ETA-RAM and Eta Semiconductor returned no results. If ETA-RAM was such a novel and groundbreaking technology, one would expect that there be results on Google Web, Books, and Scholar. ETA-RAM would be presented at IEEE conferences or in IEEE journals. The EE Times would have covered ETA-RAM and Eta Semiconductor. AZ1199 (talk) 05:27, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find evidence that this is a notable person. At best, this is someone who could have been (unsourced of course) the oldest Catholic priest in modern times (whatever "modern times" means) and the oldest ever person to have had a cataract operation (if that's really worth keep tracking of). Of the sources provided, one is a WP:ROUTINE obituary, the other was the GRG's excel spreadsheet of verified supercentenarian from which we should infer that his lack of listing means that he would have been somewhere on these things and three links which all seem dead links now.

A priest who does not charge, how can such a big business, but on Notre Dame as his background. Effectiveness of evangelization is staggering: in his missionary career, took 50 young church members follow the call, successful young men, as a priest five successful about 20 nuns, really admire.
Author lives in only two nuns who have led successful, aided the ten young men and women on the road to call, it's hard. His amazing health and old age, with "seven" as his motto: first, don't smoke. Second, does not drink alcohol. Third, not angry. Four, do not worry. Five, not eating too much. Six, in constant motion. Seven, continuous prayer.
That's pretty much all that can be said about the subject -- he lived a long time and inspired about 50 guys to become priests. As for the Guiness record for being the oldest priest in modern times, I checked their site and couldn't find corroboration of it. However, the Vatican source tells us that he was (in February 2007) the oldest living priest. That same source tells us that the oldest priest in modern times was Alvaro Fernandez, who died in 1998. Fernandez doesn't have an article here, and neither should the subject. NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:16, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I understand, the Guinness World Records website is not a complete searchable database of every record they've ever recognised. The comparison with Alvaro Fernandez amounts to Wikipedia:Other stuff which isn't a good argument in AfD. Deryck C. 21:10, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, the only source is a catalog listing type thing. Other online sources are of the same ilk: study guides, courses and test centers but nothing establishing notability. The book New Perspectives on Computer Concepts mentions it very much in passing [28]. Brianhe (talk) 06:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I suspect this is a taken-for-granted, low-priority subject among techie-type people (i.e., lots of Wikipedians). But it seems to be a primary and important program for people struggling to break into entry-level jobs. (Certiport also offers certifications in basic office software like Microsoft Office.) Probably the reason so many catalog entries come up in a Google search is that training for the certificate is widespread. Sifting through them, though, there are some pretty good sources out there that could help build a solid article. The book Resources for Student Assessment discusses how it was developed and some of its history (at least up to 2006). And several news sources talk about IC3:

  1. It's never too late to go back to school
  2. Building Foundational Digital Skills in a Global Economy
  3. Incorporating IC3 Into Nigerian Education System
  4. Together Again: Community Colleges and Industry
  5. Does the IC3 Certification Make an Administrative Assistant More Valuable?

Gorthian (talk) 09:48, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Either zero or one of those sources is sufficiently independent and in-depth to help to establish notability.
  1. Houston Chronicle - mentions IC3 once in passing: "a valuable IC3 certification"
  2. This Day - virtually all IC3 content was quotes from Certiport Vice-President in charge of sales for Middle East and Africa, Jan Day
  3. PM News Nigeria - at first blush looks reasonable but at least the following passages are copied from Certiport materials, such as "IC3 reflects the foundational skills needed to excel in virtually all career fields and academic pursuits requiring computer proficiency" from [29] and "The Global Digital Literacy Council has committed years of hard work and dedication to design, create and define the new IC3 Standards" from [30]
  4. Ed Tech Magazine - mentions IC3 once in passing: "Students who complete the course are prepared to take the ­national IC3 certification exam."
  5. Houston Chronicle - content is provided by (paid for by?) Demand Media a highly questionable source best known for placing SEO content
And about the book Resources for Student Assessment, the cover says "Development of this publication was underwritten by Certiport". So, no joy there as far as establishing notability either.
The problems with the sources provided, plus the non-persuasive argument "it seems important", a listed argument to avoid in deletion discussions, make me stay with my original recommendation to delete. – Brianhe (talk) 11:20, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how this article is sufficient for a stand-alone article. It's still based on a single article. It was deleted in 2008, recreated in 2009 exactly the same and the second deletion discussion was based on three keep votes, two of whom just asserted that the last surviving French veterans of WWI was enough and a third based on what seems like a google news search involving other people for some reason. Even then, according to this unsourced footnote, Lazare Ponticelli is actually the last veteran and not Picault who is basically just a footnote.

How the hell did this survive its first "Articles for deletion" debate? The entire page is way too short and entirely unsourced. When searching the term "Synthesizer programmer", all you'll find is how-to articles on how to program sounds using synthesizers. What this article is meaning to talk about is the term "synthesizer programmer", as in for video games, which could pretty much be the same in programming sounds using synths in cases outside of game development. This is clearly an attempted WP:DICDEF article, and definitely has so little value that articles like Synthesizer and Programming (music) makes this article pretty much useless and unnecessary to the encyclopedia. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī 03:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP, with definite advertorial overtones, of a person whose strongest claim of notability is having been a staffer in a mayor's office. The article has actually been tagged WP:AUTOBIO by another editor — and while I'm not entirely sure that the evidence for that is as airtight as the tagger believes, it certainly does read an awful lot like the kind of "about me" puff blurb that could be posted to a person's own self-published website. The sourcing, meanwhile, is parked entirely on an alternative weekly newspaper and an online-only magazine that doesn't unequivocally pass the dividing line between the kind of blogs that we can accept for sourcing and the kind that we can't — so these sources would be acceptable for some supplementary confirmation of facts after the topic had already been vaulted over WP:GNG by better referencing, but neither of them can carry GNG if they're the best you can do for sourcing. As always, a person does not gain an automatic entitlement to keep a PR-toned profile on Wikipedia just because a few sources can be provided to verify that he exists — there would have to be a lot more coverage, a lot more substance and a lot less (possibly self-)promotional puffery than this to get him over the bar. And on a Google search, the better sourcing that I am able to locate (a) is still exclusively local to the place where he was living at the time of that coverage, and (b) poses BLP sensitivities of the "criminal allegation without conviction" kind that Wikipedia has no business touching with a ten-foot pole per WP:PERP.

Comment - Høgni Reistup has been important enough for the English Wikipedia since 2010, what happened now in 2016 since he is not important any longer? He is not only a musician, he is a scientist and if you tried to search for news about him you could have found a lot of information about him. I have been searching and found a lot of info about him, info which was not written about here, so I have expanded the article about his life as a scientist. He has studied in Aarhus, Copenhagen and Dublin, he is MA in Media studies. In fact I find him more and more notable, the more I read about him. I knew about his book Exit Føroyar, but now that I read more about it and all the media cover in the Danish media, where they cite Høgni Reistrup, I am thinking, that he and the co-writer of the book Exit Føroyar in fact may have stopped the negative net migration of the Faroe Islands. At the time when they wrote the book, the Faroe Islands had a negative net migration, and in fact it has stopped now, and I think that it may very well be because of this book and the project with the same name and all the publicity it got in Danish and Faroese media and in the Danish Folketing and in the Faroese Løgting. So, do you still think that Høgni Reistrup is a non-notable person and that the page about him on Wikipedia should be deleted LibStar? --EileenSanda (talk) 10:33, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Høgni Reistup has been important enough for the English Wikipedia since 2010 is totally irrelevant. Any article can be nominated for deletion to test its notability especially if it hasn't been nominated before. articles do not get immunity from deletion because they've existed longer. normally scientists need to meet WP:PROF. LibStar (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if scientist is the correct word for him, is it? I wrote it, but I am not sure if it should have been scolar or something else, he is MA in Media science from the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University and Dublin City University, so is scientist the correct term? I would say that number 7. in WP:PROF applies here: "7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." These rules may also apply: 8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. 9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g., writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g., musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC. Under Special Criteria notes is says: 1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. (...) The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work. EileenSanda (talk) 17:22, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources. Being related to a famous person does not make her inherently notable. Hirolovesswords (talk) 13:18, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTINHERITED is specifically written as excluding situations where the fact of being related to somebody else inherently defines a notable public position, such as a national First Lady: the person may have been given the role solely by virtue of being related to somebody else, but the role itself most certainly is still a notable one which would be expected to get a person into an encyclopedia. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Jane Pierce, for just two examples out of many, are not non-notable just because it's possible to dismiss them as having inherited notability via marriage — the spouses of national monarchs and presidents and prime ministers and viceroys are a thing that we are expected to cover, because those people do hold a public role which is notable in its own right. Admittedly referencing improvement is needed here — this was written almost ten years ago, at a time when no significant number of Wikipedians had access to any significant news archive databases beyond a simple Google search — but now that so many more of us do have access to deep news retrieval databases it is fully verifiable that those improved references do exist, and the role she held is one which would be expected to get someone into an encyclopedia regardless of any NOTINHERITED quibbles about how she got that role. And if your quibble is going to be that Lilias Massey held her role by virtue of being the daughter-in-law of a widowed GG rather than by being his wife, then it's important to note that we do maintain articles about several women who served as Category:Acting First Ladies of the United States, mainly female relatives of US Presidents who took on the role of First Lady because the president was a bachelor or widower — and several of those aren't actually any better sourced than this one is. The fact of holding the role is what gets the person into Wikipedia, not the private nature of their personal relationship to the president or the governor-general. Keep.

The viceregal consort ranks higher than the spouse of the prime minister — so there's no basis for claiming that it's a less notable role. The GG's spouse or spouse equivalent does hold a public role as the analogue to a First Lady or Gentleman — the PM's spouse would be the Second Lady or Gentleman, not the first — and is thus a topic of encyclopedic interest for the exact same reasons as any other national First Spouse. And per Category:Acting First Ladies of the United States, a person who held that role or title is not excluded from notability just because the leader was unmarried or widowed and thus had another female family member step in to take on those duties; if they held the title and performed the duties of the role, then they're still notable regardless of whether they were the leader's wife, daughter, mother, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law or hairdresser. It's the role that confers the notability, not the type of relationship they had with the leader. Bearcat (talk) 19:49, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It may rank higher, but it's not higher profile. In all my decades in the Great White North, not once (until now) have I ever heard or read about it, so it (and she) fails WP:GNG, IMO. Margaret Trudeau on the other hand ... Clarityfiend (talk) 23:53, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You may not have heard of the titleI'm not even remotely convinced that's the best or most recognizable WP:COMMONNAME for our article about it to be located at — but I don't believe for one second that you've gone through life totally unaware that "the wife or husband of the Governor General" is a real thing that people get famous and notable and prominent for being. Jean-Daniel Lafond? John Ralston Saul? Gerda Hnatyshyn? Pauline Vanier? Norah Michener? These are not obscure people by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, they're no Margaret Trudeau, but what other spouse of a Prime Minister ever attained that level of worldwide iconicity either? You're certainly not going to convince me that any of them was less publicly active or well-known than Sheila Martin, and even she was still publicly active and well-known enough to get over the bar.
I can fully believe that you've never heard of the title that the article is located at — I don't think that's the name most Canadians would expect to find it at either, and I'd completely support a move discussion to a more recognizable title. But you can't seriously expect me to believe that you've gone through many decades of life in the Great White North totally unaware of the concept that "Governor General's spouse" was a prominent public role that people were getting famous for holding. Bearcat (talk) 06:29, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure most Canucks know we have had Governor Generals (Governors General?), and that they usually have spouses, but I doubt if one in a hundred could name any of them. The ones you've listed may or may not be notable on their own (not that I've heard of most of them either; Pauline Vanier seems to vaguely ring a bell for some reason), but that's beside the point. Show me where Lilias Massey satisfies WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:16, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Most Canadians would have to jog their memories by looking at a list to even to name most past GGs, and most past spouses of Prime Ministers not named Margaret, and even some of the actual PMs themselves, too — seriously, how many people do you think could actually pluck Mackenzie Bowell or Jeanne St. Laurent out of their memory banks without seeing their names first? — but that doesn't mean those people aren't notable. And while I admit that I haven't gotten around to directly beefing up the article yet, mainly because there have been a lot of other things to distract me over the past few days, as I've already pointed out the coverage is there: 129 hits in ProQuest's archive of The Globe and Mail, 226 hits on Newspapers.com. They won't all be usable sources, because some of them admittedly are just the social column and will say nothing much more than "Mrs. Lionel Massey wore a taffeta dress to the symphony last night", but there is enough substantive coverage to satisfy WP:GNG if you give me some time to actually sort through it. And it's a key principle of AFD that an article's keepability or deletability hinges on whether the GNG coverage can be shown to exist, not on whether it's already in the article or not — so my failure to have already finished the job of adding 350 more references to the article isn't actually a failure. Bearcat (talk) 18:26, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
17 distinct references in the article now. More still possible; there's still the Toronto Star database to run through, but at the moment there's a technical error causing all of those pages to come up blank. And even when I can finally get back into that one, that still just represents databases I have personal access to, and doesn't preclude there still being other references available elsewhere too. Hope that helps. Bearcat (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • This poet seems notable. Won the 2009 Crashaw Prize, published by major London publisher, has had extended essays devoted to his work. Kolbasz, might it be necessary to Google deeper?

AFAICT, the prize in question is not a notable one, and is handed out by his publisher. In any case, reliable independent sources are still lacking. Kolbasz (talk) 15:02, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's going to be impossible to maintain local election pages in areas that are highly unknown. Not only that but a new page will have to be introduced every year, as to keep one of every year on file. Too big of a mess, and too much of a waste of space on Wikipedia.

Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NACTOR, WP:GNG. Boston.Com source is book review that only mentions subject in passing, IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source. Makes unsourced assertions and promulgates rumors about subject. No reliable information appears to be available about subject after appearance in second movie (1960's The Marriage-Go-Round) so there are also WP:BLP concerns since subject could still be living.

No misrepresentation was intended. I was unable to find multiple in-depth reliable sources, so if you have access to that kind of info it would be great. I would be interested in knowing how Colton/Morelli fulfills WP:NACTOR:
  • Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
  • Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
  • Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.

Another remake of "Blood and Sand" is simmering at Fox. This time it's for Trax Colton, who looms as the studio's new "combination Rudolph Valentino - Ty Power," thanks to his work as Jayne Mansfield's co-star in "It Happened in Athens."
So far, I have been unable to find any in-depth interviews or articles about Morelli/Colton, much less multiple sources. If the parent biographical notability guidelines are consulted, Colton fails WP:ANYBIO because he has not received a well-known and significant award or honor/has not been nominated for one several times/has not made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Also, so far as I can tell (and believe me, I have been looking), Morelli/Colton has not received in-depth coverage - no book/biography has been written specifically about Morelli/Colton, etc. Shearonink (talk) 18:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I mean seriously, just because Colton had just two movies roles doesn't discharge him from having a Wikipedia page. I mean, when someone reads Jayne Mansfield's biography that won't even be able to click on the "unknown" Colton, even if they want to. There are many other actors and actresses that have Wikipedia pages that weren't too well-known and that only appeared in B-movies. Please think about this. (ClassicEditor97)— Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassicEditor97 (talkcontribs) 15:34, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Our discussion here should center on the notability guidelines of WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NACTOR. Does Morelli/Colton fulfill any of them? If he does not, then he should not have a Wikipedia article. Are there multiple reliable sources that contain in-depth information about Morelli/Colton? Not just passing mentions like the Mike Connolly column, but a biography or long-form articles in magazines or newspapers? Has he had a lasting impact on film-acting or the culture in general? Did he win any acting awards? Please think about this logically... Just because Morelli/Colton can be thought of as notorious (because of his discovery by the scandal-plagued Harry Willson and his fling with Mansfield) doesn't mean he is notable - it means he is worthy of gossip.

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material.
I just don't see the significant coverage, that Morelli's life and his career are covered directly and covered in detail. Shearonink (talk) 06:31, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
A small part is not significant...the character in The Marriage-Go-Round didn't have a name, he was simply "Crew Cut/Party Guest". Colton/Morelli had one co-starring role in a single movie, a movie that did not make back its $1million+ budget, did not get any awards, received almost-universally bad reviews.
Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
Large fan base or significant "cult" following... The only claim I can see that might have some merit on the "cult" issue is that he was one of the many clients of the notorious Harry Willson but that would seem to be gossip-fodder material not encyclopedic content.
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
His work was not unique, he was not prolific, and he was not innovative. He was a small cog in the Hollywood machine.
