Blood Games (movie)[edit]

Even with very specific search parameters, I'm not finding very many hits. The only actual websites I could find regarding this film are from unreliable sources such as IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. This film existed, but does not seem to have become a notable film. As a note, I've spun this off of the original bundled AfD, and only kept the comments pertaining to this show.

Keep Blood Games, at least. Here are two reliable-source reviews, and a brief but substantive discussion in an academic work [1][2][3], all found within the first few pages of a simple Google search for <Tanya Rosenberg "Blood Games">. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While a lack of BEFORE is sad, we do not judge stub because they have problems, we instead research as did Arxiloxos (good job!), ad judge a topic per available sources even if not used.

A Vow to Kill[edit]

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

Even with very specific search parameters, "a vow to kill" has significantly more hits than it's capitalised counterpart. The only actual websites I could find regarding this film are from unreliable sources such as IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. This film existed, but does not seem to have become a notable film. While I appreciate the creator's enthusiasm for creating new articles on Wikipedia, I highly recommend they read through the notability guidelines before starting more articles. As a note, I've spun this off of the original bundled AfD, and only kept the comments pertaining to this show. Primefac (talk) 20:48, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep for A Vow to Kill based on a full Variety review [4], a brief but substantive review in VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever[5], and a pricelessly succinct ("stupid and sexist") review in the Chicago Sun-Times [6].

Delete does not appear to be a settlement recognized by the Indian (or Tamil Nadu) governments.

I don't have a policy-based argument, but the article deserves to be deleted just on merits of the subject's "art" ( http://paintwithkevin.com/kevin-hill-gallery.html ). No such user (talk) 12:27, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
... after some research, delete. The sources in the article are about everything that is out there. The subject has a YouTube channel whose contents are re-broadcast at Arkansas Educational Television Network. He's self-taught (obviously). No other major appearances in media, no critical assessment of his work (thank God).

The American Militant Nationalist Manifesto[edit]

Contested PROD. The prod rationale was "Self-published book, only review published on authors' own site. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK." and I agree with that assessment. I cannot find a single mention of the book in any reliable source. bonadea contributions talk 21:31, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Almost no coverage that isn't directly related to the book, fails WP:GNG. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 22:37, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as original PRODder. No independent coverage. A comment on the talk page promises two more reviews, but given the extreme fringyness of this book and its authors/publishers, it is unlikely that these will be independent reliable sources. --Randykitty (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, There is no evidence to suggest that the reviewer, Richard Noegel,is not independent just because his review was copied and pasted onto the author's site from another site. This mistake in use of sources has been addressed so that the citation comes from the original publication source. It is also noted that Richard Noegel is retired from academia, an accomplished writer/editor, and a very reliable source that has authored multiple reviews. The original PRODder's accusation of "extreme fringyness" of authors/book/publisher is made without any genuine substance being presented. Vandal Brothers LLC is a legitimate publishing company in good standing, and the authors hold legitimate graduate degrees from a renowned university. Faustianvoid (talk) 02:02, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So the review was "independent" because the reviewer posted it on Amazon? (As an aside, note that just copying it to your own website is a violation of Amazon's copyright). As for the fringe remark, I am aware that the political debate in the US is more, let's say, "robust" than in most other civilized countries. Call me crazy, but on their website these authors claim that the GOP has "been coopted by liberal elites who wish to see the true American people robbed of their birthright", claim that US presidents are "chosen by a mob of idiots", call the current US president a "traitorous swine", and call for democracy to be abolished ("Who Cares about democracy!"), so, yes, I call that "fringe" thinking. --Randykitty (talk) 10:32, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~, for the love of my sanity, not this again. See previous 3 AfDs.

Manny Stul[edit]

I have serious doubts whether the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. All coverage (here's best: [7]) is related to her winning the 2015 Australian EY (Ernst & Young) Entrepreneur Of The Year Award. Everything else is in passing. So, first strike is WP:ONEEVENT. Regarding the award itself, it's a national award, that I don't think would be notable on its own and therefore is unlikely to be sufficient to give the winner notability on their own. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:43, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination was withdrawn due to a lack of interest of other users; an unregistered user has expressed interest in pursuing the deletion further. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 12:15, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[original nomination reason, withdrawn:] This white hat hacker has had a little bit of local news coverage, and there is a possibility that he may get more in the future, but otherwise it's a bit too soon for an article, and I'm not sure where I'd redirect to. It doesn't help that IPs are falling over themselves to remove content without citing actual policies, so an AfD sounds like the best answer. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of references on this article link to throw away statements, with no backing or proof of the claims indicated. With claims such as these (especially regarding the November 2015 Paris attacks) there is no validation, so they should be rejected as an assertion of fact. There is little/no evidence of the individuals actual abilities as a hacker, at best the individual could be referred to as a conference entertainer or a basic confidence trickster/con artist. If this is the case, the individual is not noteworthy enough to be included in an encyclopedic entry. Finally, It appears that this article has been created with the sole purpose of promoting the individual and their business, evidenced by the fact that the URL goes to a company webpage, and not a page relating to the individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.95.108 (talk) 11:56, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Considering the argument "if Lebanon can have one why can't Israel", unlike Israel, the Ottoman archives, and those of the Powers mention the Lebanon and its inhabitants for whom a special form of governance was "invented" (double qaimaqamate and later mutasarrifate). The nation of Lebanon was a direct successor of the Ottoman rule and and product of the national identity that was present long before the birth of the state. The same cannot be said about Israel which was only created in 1948, and before that the people of the region identified as Palestinians. Sadly the original inhabitants and their villages were supplanted by colons and colonies of migrants ... you know the rest of the this. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 06:52, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to History of Palestine#Ottoman era. There is nothing ambiguous about the title. There is only one Palestine, and it has only been under Ottoman rule once. So no ambiguity whatsoever, and described in the Ottoman period section of the Palestine article. --Midas02 (talk) 01:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Midas02: I'm not completely against this proposal, but don't you think History of Palestine#Ottoman era would be a better link to redirect to than Palestine#Ottoman era, which is basically a brief summary of the former? --Al Ameer (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my mistake. I had forgotten the 'History of' bit. --Midas02 (talk) 05:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The ambiguity is whether Ottoman Palestine refers to what happpened in the country during Ottoman rule, or the administrative division of the Ottoman Empire. Debresser (talk) 07:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC):[reply]

Which is an moot argument, as it has a clear PRIMARYTOPIC. Once the consensus of that primary topic is acknowledged, that leaves the more subtle issue of a potential WP:RELATED hatnote at the primary topic. WP:TWODABS means no dab is needed anyhow, so this is moot / offtopic here. Widefox; talk 09:21, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, and think that none of these two is primary. Debresser (talk) 11:34, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What you believe is irrelevant. What everyone else in this discussion except for you understands is that in a WP:TWODABS situation, you must provide evidence to support the belief that there is no primary topic, and furthermore you must demonstrate that the topics are unrelated in order for WP:DABCONCEPT to not apply. As it happens, I fixed hundreds of incoming links to this title, and every single one referred to the Ottoman era in the history of Palestine, so I find the case for primacy pretty compelling, and the case for ambiguity nonexistent. bd2412 T 15:05, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just stating a belief without reasoning is not a basis for removing the status quo of the primary topic - there's no weight per guideline/policy so per BD2412 is a weak argument considering the obvious primary topic to the contrary due to 1. status quo 2. consensus, and 3. links. It is irrelevant. Widefox; talk 01:22, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: there's really only one thing that can be called "Ottoman Palestine", so there's no need for a disambiguation page. --Carnildo (talk) 02:54, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The ambiguity is whether Ottoman Palestine refers to what happened in the country during Ottoman rule, or the administrative division of the Ottoman Empire. Debresser (talk) 07:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to History of Palestine#Ottoman era. Along with Debresser, I had supported the current dab situation as a temporary solution because we entered into a deadlock of sorts at the talk page. I have been insisting from the beginning that the only logical solution was to redirect to History of Palestine#Ottoman era because this is obviously what "Ottoman Palestine" is referring to and the most likely destination sought by the reader who types "Ottoman Palestine" into the search bar. Redirecting an article about the region of Palestine to an article about the region of Syria is like redirecting Upper Egypt to Egypt; yes Palestine was part of the larger region of Syria during the Ottoman era, but why should we redirect to Ottoman Syria when there's a huge amount of information about the Ottoman period in Palestine in the History of Palestine article and virtually none in the Ottoman Syria article. It defies common sense. --Al Ameer (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to History of Palestine#Ottoman era. Having a disambiguation page at this title creates a false sense that there is a formally recognized lack of primary meaning to these terms. bd2412 T 13:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to History of Palestine#Ottoman era. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as disambig - it is useful to both direct to History of Palestine in Ottoman era and to the summary on Ottoman provinces covering the Levant at the time (Ottoman Syria).GreyShark (dibra) 17:58, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That ignores the fact that Ottoman Palestine obviously refers to the History of Palestine during Ottoman rule, thus making it the primary topic. Ottoman Syria is secondary if anything and like others have suggested above, could be tacked on as a hatnote of the History section. In fact, "Ottoman Syria" barely discusses the History of [greater] Syria under Ottoman rule let alone Palestine or Lebanon and should probably be renamed "Administrative divisions of Ottoman Syria" or something similar because that's currently what the article is: a list of Ottoman administrative divisions of the region extending from Aleppo to Aqaba. --Al Ameer (talk) 19:46, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Greyshark09 The recent removal of the obvious primary topic is contested and can be reverted as such, with that underlined by the consensus here for that status quo. Consensus for removing the primary topic is needed, and an argument based on guideline or something may be more persuasive than being based on "useful" - see WP:USEFUL. A primary topic being a primary topic is useful, and removing it is the opposite. Widefox; talk 01:16, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nepal women's national under-23 football team[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG. Also a lack of references and there doesn't seem to be any sources that there is any official women's under-23 tournament in Asia. The references that are given doesn't mention anything about a supposed women's under-23 team. Ironically, one of the sources for the fixtures is FIFA's fixture & results page which only lists senior teamand for age group FIFA tournaments. InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 11:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is an important and emerging Asiad/South Asiad women's team which will participate in the upcoming 2016 South Asian Games. As for GNG, it has been widely cited through local and international press coverage, check the sources on the page. Do not misuse Wikipedia, you know exactly what you're doing. Ayoopdog (talk) 12:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There still isn't anything in the sources that say it was the women's under-23's! Women's football at the SAG is a SENIOR competition, not an age group (U-23) competition like it is for men! Again, you even cited FIFA's fixture list for the fixtures/results section of the article. Those are SENIOR fixtures not U-23! There is no notability for a supposed Nepali women's U-23 squad!It looks like you've confused the RSSSF file which states that "all other teams are U-23" under the men's tournament also being for the women which is incorrect. Everything you've put in this article should be in the senior team article(Nepal women's national football team). InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 13:24, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now and improve While the articles in the Nepal women's u-23 team might not be notable, it doesn't mean the article is not. Many official competitions and tournaments are only available to u-23 sides, so it's more than likely the Nepal women's u-23 team took part in some of those. However I do agree that the references in this article should be improved, as a large part just seem to be copied from the senior women's team article. Inter&anthro (talk) 17:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What does your fist sentence even mean?? It doesn't make sense! There is no Nepal under-23 women's team! Your second sentence, not for women's football and saying that "it's more than likely" is obviously not definitive. Either you provide sources saying that there was/is a Nepal women's U-23 team or if not, then it's clear there isn't! Everything that is on the page should be in the SENIOR team's article! The women's football tournament at the 2010 SAG for example was a senior tournament. Saying that Nepal officially competed with their U-23's is false and none of the source back it up. For the upcoming SAG, not even the ANFA report about the finalized women's squad mention that it's the U-23's. InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is evidence. It says on the RSSSF source cited: "India enter with their U-19 team; the other sides are U-23 teams." Ayoopdog (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is what I have said... you're confused! That note about "India enter with their U-19 team; the other sides are U-23 teams." is for the men's tournament only!!! As I've also said, you've even used FIFA fixtures/results page as a source for this supposed U-23 team's fixture list but that those are full 'A' matches not U-23's! You even created a competitive records section which includes Asian Games and Olympics but women's football at those events has always been and still is for senior teams! Very ironic! There shouldn't even be a redirect. That would suggest that there was/is a Nepali women's U-23 or some notion of it but there wasn't enough info for it to have it's own page.

Redirect - I would have to agree with GiantSnowman here and go for redirect to Nepal women's national football team as there is no evidence that this team has ever competed (or actually existed) when looking through all of the references and searching for the team. The RSSSF source for South Asian Games say U-23, but that is for the men's tournament and not for womens (and it is under header for mens tournament). Just like the olympic games the mens tournament is for youth teams and womens tournament for senior teams. Qed237 (talk) 14:38, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore that clown (InternacionalFutbolista). I've just spoken to the digital comms manager at ANFA and he can confirm that the women's team going to the 2016 SAG is a U-23 side with 3 senior team players. Proof: http://i.imgur.com/5gbj27V.png. An official confirmation will be up on the official site/match report signed by the match commissioner soon. Ayoopdog (talk) 22:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayoopdog: Please stop calling other editors names and I am sorry but that image does not say anything (cut at the wrong place?). Anyway until it is confirmed and well sourced that the team exists it should not have it's own article. Qed237 (talk) 22:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayoopdog, that's the only thing your half good at, name calling! You call me a clown but this is coming from the same guy who creates a women's U-23 national team page and then creates a tournaments records section which includes the Olympics and Asian Games! lol!

But the relevant inquiry is whether the article passes WP:NJournals, and it looks like this article does pass. If there are problems with with COI or references, these should be resolved by editing the article rather than deleting it (see WP:ATD). I completely agree that COI editors shouldn't add content to articles about journals published by their employers, and I am also troubled by the lack of coverage of this journal in secondary sources, but it still looks like this passes WP:NJournals's notability requirements. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:46, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the relevant question is never whether a subject "passes" a subject-specific notability guideline, because those guidelines only tell us what sort of article is likely to get sufficient coverage in independent sources to allow us to write an article compliant with fundamental policy, ie. one whihc can be verified as neutral by reference to reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 00:13, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. One of the Sage articles that I did not get around to cleaning yet. Nevertheless, COI is not a reason for deletion and can easily be addressed (see our journal article writing guide). Indexed in Scopus, which is selective and meets WP:NJournals. As for the COI, it is actually not that difficult to create a neutral article on an academic journal, even for a COI editor. Luke.j.ruby (who apparently is not with Sage anymore or has moved to other responsibilities, as he doesn't edit here any more) was a bit of an exception, but most people working for a publisher see that it is in their best interest to follow WP:JWG, so that articles won't get deleted as spam. I find their contributions generally useful, as it is less work to clean up an article if necessary than creating one from scratch... --Randykitty (talk) 14:27, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jeesh!!! Sir Thomas Lipton (Mark Hobart) is pretty known here in Japan, China, Singapore and a few other Asian countries. I am trying my best to meet wikipedia requirements. And surely do not want the article removed. Been in countless TVCMs, shows and other media for more than a decade. Could you give me one concrete suggestion as to make this meet requirements. Most of what is published is in Japanese. The sir Thomas Lipton King of Teas is a TVCM, but it is also a movie of 3 minute for promotion of the Lipton brand, not an ad. There are both.

I was looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Carver#cite_note-6 and see that a majority of the links do not work, the references no longer exist and the content is at best 6-7 years ago. What makes that article meet requirements.

I am totally open to a suggestion. Based on wiki guidelines, I need just one reference, minimum. Give me a hint.

Much appreciated!

I've searched google news, books and the web and the most extensive mention I've found is this one. We need evidence for your claim that you are well known for anything.

I'll note the COI issues I didn't mention in the nomination. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:20, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Mallon Please take a look at my Wikipedia page now as I added five references which did not include the Internations interview. If need be I'll add another 25. I understand your concern about COI, but If the page is neutral and a statement of verifiable fact, then there should be no COI. Nor am I attempting to use the page to self-promote.

The answer to your question, Scott, is that you need to be noted in independent secondary sources. If you are interested in the notability criteria of journalists (which seems to be the category this page would fit into), see here: WP:JOURNALIST.

As a general rule, it is considered a WP:COI to be editing a page which is about yourself. For one thing, it is quite hard to see objectively whether or not you have enough independent secondary mentions to be considered notable. And it is very hard to write neutrally about yourself. And it appears that this page has been almost entirely written and edited by yourself.

Leaving the WP:COI aside, I'm not seeing anything significant about you which has not been written by you. So I'm going to say delete. My advice to you is to stick to producing your own content and edit other areas of wikipedia. JMWt (talk) 20:00, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the National Register Form, The South Bluffs Warehouse Historic District is an architecturally cohesive collection of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century warehouses located along the bluff of the Mississippi River to the south of downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The article currently describes a residential neighborhood of houses and apartment complexes in Memphis that also happens to be called South Bluffs—not a collection of historic warehouses. Does the residential neighborhood also have legal recognition to satisfy WP:GEOLAND? Mz7 (talk) 23:24, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the article is currently about a well defined neighborhood, South Bluffs, which is located in the South Bluffs Warehouse district. I'm suggesting the article be expanded to cover the entire district. Much of what is currently in the article would remain. VMS Mosaic (talk) 00:37, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- I am not convinced that he is so lacking in notability.

Delete - per SwisterTwister. Snappy (talk) 18:44, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete His book appears to have garnered virtually no attention, and searching for him produces little (there was an actor with the same name) beyond mentions and the fact that he was pardoned in old age at a time when Britain was trying to move past "the troubles" (successfully, for a wonder) and pardons were being given to old terrorists. So, the case for notability boils down to WP:BLP1E: the fact that of all the IRA militants in a particular prison, he was the "only one" to escape. Except that it turns out that a number of prisoners escaped from HM Prison Crumlin Road over the years. His claim to fame is that he was the "only one" to escape between 1956 and 1962. Like, really? I've looked, and all I see is a non-notable terrorist who should be deleted under WP:BLP1E.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was part of a blanket AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dreieck Ahlhorner Heide, which was closed as no consensus for procedural reasons. Non-notable interchange, just like thousands of others. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:32, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—having a name in a country where every interchange is named does not confer notability. This article fails WP:GNG and should be deleted. Imzadi 1979 → 22:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose deletion of this and all similar articles: in Germany, only Autobahn intersections are named - see also my comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways#German highway interchanges. Additionally, the text of this article says that the subject interchange was previously part of a notable German racing track, the Sachsenring. That is a reason to conclude that this particular interchange is not like thousands of others. Bahnfrend (talk) 07:48, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The racetrack-related history can be covered in the racetrack unless there is "significant covered in reliable sources independent of the subject" (WP:GNG) about this interchange. Imzadi 1979 → 19:03, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - My further researches indicate that the racetrack was actually a standalone facility. There's even a standalone article in German Wikipedia about the racetrack (de:Autobahnschere Chemnitz). That article is linked to a number of reliable sources, including a video of one of the races posted on YouTube by the Chemnitz Film Archive. It goes without saying that those sources also establish notability of the interchange itself. Bahnfrend (talk) 17:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Bahnfrend, you should have said, "It goes without saying that those sources also establish notability of the [racetrack] itself". Imzadi 1979 → 09:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As the discussion on the group AfD commented , we would keep them if they were British. But the English language WP covers all the world equally -- it just is written in English If it covers English-speakign countries more, it's because most of our contributors are more interested. We should welcome attempts to expand equal coverage to other language areas. DGG ( talk ) 04:44, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The first footnote appears to be a SPS, and the second isn't enough to carry notability. These are both the same sources as in the German version of the article. I agree that we should welcome such attempts, but they have to meet GNG. Non-English subject do not get a deviation from that principle. Imzadi 1979 → 05:08, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Response: You're confusing notability of the subject matter with verifiability of the content of the article. These are two different issues. In the case of Kreuz Chemnitz, notability can be confirmed by a Google maps search (Google maps is a clearly independent reliable source). If the subject matter is notable, then there can be an article about it. As far as verifiability of content is concerned, a lack of sources and references is a recognised problem with translation of German Wikipedia articles into English, because German Wikipedia articles are typically much less comprehensively sourced and referenced than English Wikipedia articles created from scratch. See Wikipedia:Translation/German/Translation advice#Content issues. The solution to this problem is not to delete the whole article, but, rather, either to be pragmatic and leave the content in the article as is (on the basis that German Wikipedia is generally pretty accurate), or be fundamentalist (and thereby largely defeat the purpose of translating the article in the first place) and delete the unsourced content, but not the whole article. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:59, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - We don't use maps alone to establish notability, and I think you need to read WP:GNG. We need "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject", and being listed on a map fails the first prong because that would be a mere mention, not "significant coverage". Imzadi 1979 → 06:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Response: I disagree, but even if you're correct, your comment indicates only that the English Wikipedia guidelines for notability of roadways are inadequate. See my new thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways#German highway interchanges. Bahnfrend (talk) 06:59, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment - First, the discussion mentioned by DGG also commented that each interchange should be judged on its own merits as to whether or not it passes GNG, which this one clearly does not. Second, not sure what Bahnfrend is disagreeing with, since Imzadil is quoting guidelines. But if they feel that English Wikipedia's current guidelines ae "inadequate", they need to bring that up on the talk page of the notability guidelines. Not here. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:36, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Further response: This is one of a group of disruptive nominations for deletion by a small number of systemically biased editors who have a fixed agenda of wanting all articles about Autobahn interchanges in Germany to be deleted, even though they have carried out no research into whether the subjects of the articles pass WP:GNG or not, and are therefore contending that they fail GNG without regard to whether that contention is true or false. For that reason, this nomination, like all disruptive editing, should be treated as vandalism, and should be withdrawn. See also my more detailed comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kreuz Kaiserberg. Bahnfrend (talk) 18:50, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment - simply incorrect. And further evidence that Bahnfrend is lacking in AGF. I've nominated interchange articles from several countries, not simply Germany. It's simply that Germany had a plethora of non-notable interchanges which had articles, which the other countries did not. Their use of the term disruptive is a clear indication they don't have a clear grasp of the concept. If I wanted all interchanges in Germany gone, why did I not nominate all the others I've passed over? Hmmm. An apology seems warranted. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:40, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Bahnfriend: please remember that WP:NOTVAND explicitly states that "disruptive editing" is not vandalism. Even if there was disruptive editing here, your assertion is against Wikipedia policy. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 09:22, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is not a WP:BIAS issue; the issue here is that in Germany, every interechange on the Autobahn (Interstate/Motorway) is named. Unlike in other countries, therefore, the fact that an interchange is named is not prima facie evidence of notability. There is no evidence here of any disruption, and there is insufficient evidence that WP:GNG is met by this interechange. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 09:22, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: Of course it's a WP:BIAS issue. Essentially what the deletionists, including you, are saying amounts to this: "I believe that the standard unnamed cloverleaf interchange near my home town of Nowheresville, USA, is not notable (even though I haven't bothered to research that point), and that therefore the interchange the subject of this article cannot be notable (even though I haven't bothered to research that point either). So this article must be deleted." Such a statement is really no different from "I believe that the nondescript church in my home town of Nowheresville, USA, is not notable (even though I haven't bothered to research that point), and that therefore the subject matter of Dresden Cathedral cannot be notable (even though I haven't bothered to research that point either). So the Dresden Cathedral article must be deleted."

If you can be bothered to visit the Dresden Cathedral article, you will note that it has only one cited source, namely a German language book about the buildings of old Dresden. But no editor of English Wikipedia would ever seriously suggest that that article be deleted. Now let me tell you why the subject matter of Kreuz Chemnitz is notable, apart from the fact that it has a name, and is therefore, like Dresden Cathedral, a large, recognised geographical feature.

Kreuz Chemnitz was opened in 1939, and is, for that reason, one of the oldest interchanges between two or more freeways in Germany and indeed the world. It was constructed as part of the early stages of the Autobahn between Berlin, the capital and most populous city in Germany, and Munich, the capital of Bavaria and third most populous city in Germany. The Reichsautobahn project of which it was part was an important strategic and propaganda exercise by Adolf Hitler (see, eg, Reichsautobahn#Monumental function), and was a major element of his preparations for starting World War II.

Like all German Autobahns built right to this very day, the Berlin to Munich Autobahn was, and its interchanges were, engineered, built, and is/are operated, not just as a mode of transport, but also as a form of landscape architecture, because Germans actually care about things like that. So, for example, as is pointed out in the caption to the very first photo in the Reichsautobahn article, oak trees were deliberately retained in the median of the Berlin to Munich Autobahn when it was built in the 1930s (see also the detailed comments in Reichsautobahn#Aesthetics). Last year, a respected academic architectural writer who lives in Erfurt (150 km (93 mi) from Chemnitz) released a 440 page book Reichsautobahnen in Mitteldeutschland ("Reichsautobahns in Central Germany"), which describes the history of the Reichsautobahn project in that area, including the Berlin to Munich Autobahn, between 1933 and 1943. Some indication of the reliability of this source can be gleaned from the fact that the book was the subject of launch events at a number of important museums in central Germany, including the Museum for Saxon Vehicles in Chemnitz, and that the launch events were reported in reliable local media (eg this article). As Kreuz Chemnitz was one of the most important structures built as part of the Berlin to Munich Autobahn, there can be no doubt that it is described in the book. In any event, so much is clear from one of the online sources I have just cited. Thus, all I would need to do to debunk the deletionists in relation to this particular article (and all other articles about the Reichsautobahn interchanges between two or more Autobahns in central Germany) is add the book and the online sources I have just cited to the references section of the article, which will then become even better sourced than the Dresden Cathedral article. I will do that shortly. (Incidentally, the book is already one of the sources cited in the German Wikipedia Reichsautobahn article, so it is by no means difficult to find.)

But there's actually even more of a basis than that to conclude that the Kreuz Chemnitz article should be kept. In its original form, the interchange was a triangle interchange. Its further development was delayed by the post-War division of Germany, and it is therefore an interesting example of the profound effect of the Cold War on Europe in general and Germany in particular. In the 1950s, the interchange, unlike any other freeway interchange of which I am aware, was used as as a racetrack to stage motorsport events for both cars and motorbikes. Early this century, the authorities decided to transform it into a four way interchange as part of the construction of a new Autobahn from Chemnitz to Leipzig. That decision was then the subject of a major court challenge by nearby landowners, but in a judgment published here and containing detailed information about the local landscape, the Federal Administrative Court of Germany, sitting at its headquarters in Leipzig, dismissed the challenge. Reconstruction of the interchange then went ahead. The court's judgment even notes one of the points I have made above, namely that Autobahn construction in Germany is an exercise in landscape design - the challenge the court rejected was to the acquisition of land for the purpose of landscaping. Consistently with the general philosophy of German Autobahn engineering, the expanded interchange includes an 8 m x 8 m depiction of the Coat of arms of Saxony between the Hof-Dresden slip roads - so large that it is clearly visible here on the satellite version of Google Maps.

The as-yet-uncited material in the previous paragraph was obtained from page 5 of this reliable source, which I will also shortly add to the article.

In the last few days, I have done some detailed research into only three of the German Autobahn interchange articles presently proposed for deletion. My researches have indicated that all three of them are clearly notable to an editor who actually knows something about German Autobahns, and who knows where to look for appropriate reliable sources. So, and contrary to what you say in your systemically biased post, all of the articles about interchanges between two or more German Autobahns should be presumed to be about notable subjects. Now I have a request. Why don't you and your fellow deletionists do English Wikipedia a favour, and confine your editing and comments on deletion proposals to subject matter you actually know something about? That way, you and your fellow deletionists wouldn't be wasting so much of the valuable time of other editors, such as the time that I would otherwise have been devoting to my wife, three children and other family members over these Christmas holidays.

Keep We have a complete structure of German autobahns in the encyclopedia. We even have separate templates for Dreieck and Kreuz. The German Dreieck's and Kreuz's that are named always connect two Autobahns. This means that any Dreieck or Kreuz is already known to be covered in two other topics already in existence on Wikipedia. This is sufficient to know that there is no policy basis to delete the "topic", also known on Wikipedia as the "subject". I would also argue that these topics satisfy our wp:notability guidelines, but analyzing this point between keep and merge becomes academic, given that there is no policy basis for a deletion discussion. Any decision to redirect or merge can be handled under WP:Editing policy, which might consider more than wp:notability in the decision. Unscintillating (talk) 02:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - none of which addresses the lack of notability of this particular interchange. As per WP:GNG: if the subject of an article "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article". None of which this article, or interchange, has demonstrated, nor have any of the !votes for "keep" provided evidence of. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 04:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All of these Kreuz's and Dreieck's are a valuable addition to our existing Autobahn coverage, fully supported by our policy. Sorry, but you've been since last August chasing a problem which doesn't exist and driven off a valuable content contributor in so doing. There is a case with some or many of these articles for merging them temporarily to one of the two related Autobahn articles, until the time that Bahnfriend et al has had time to refine them, but because you are on record as rejecting merger, you've not been able to participate in that discussion. Unscintillating (talk) 21:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As always, a person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election, forthcoming or otherwise — if you cannot provide credible and properly sourced evidence that he was already notable enough 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.

Denver Wrangler[edit]

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

The only indication of notability here is a list of "top 200 gay bars in the world". That's not enough for notability, and so unreliable a source that I listed it as A7, but it was declined. I assume there are some local sources also, but they won't help a local establishment. DGG ( talk ) 22:39, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I didn't decline it in the strictest sense as I'm not an admin. A7 is not actually about notability; it's about there not being a credible claim of importance, and I'd say being in a "top x number of anything" in a notable magazine is one. Nor did I think it was advertising. I also know an admin did decline an almost identical article. Adam9007 (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, of course. This establishment has been covered by more than just local sources, including The Advocate, Instinct, and National Review. Also, Out is not an unreliable source, contrary to the nominator's comments. This article should be expanded, not deleted. See additional sources:

I could see an expanded article looking somewhat similar to Three Sisters Tavern, which has been promoted to Good status. This article is short, but offers a description of the bar and its history, and includes a reception section. I was creating stubs of LGBT bars based on the Out list, in an attempt to fill a content gap and increase the number of articles related to gay culture and the LGBT community. I don't think we should be so quick to delete stubs. Clearly there are sources that can be used to expand the article. Wikipedia is a work in progress, yes? Let's give these articles time to grow. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:09, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is the sort of article I would like to spend time expanding, but I can't promise to do so immediately. I am working on many articles currently, and have 8 awaiting Good article reviews.

Question '{U|Another Believe)) I nominated this as one among the many articles whose only references is the 200 Gay Bars list, as a test nomination; I don't like to nominate multiple articles in a category simultaneously. Are the others on the list for which you have made articles of similar notability to this one, or have you not determined that? Myself, I am not an expert on bars of any kind. But our general standards for eating & drinking establishments seems to be whether they are known beyond the local area. In this case, there is some coverage beyond Denver, but it seems to relate to one particular incident--if it were a person, it would be BLP1E, but we have no such rule for companies; the nearest is NOT NEWS.

I prodded this due to "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline".It was deprodded by the creator with the following rationale: "I has got references it's only a transistor so there's not much to say about it save for datasheet, look at article about 2n3055 it has same type of references if this is to be deleted then 2n3055 should be deleted as well". The nominator admits himself this can never be destubbed, and as such, this already suggests this should not be a stand-alone article, but at best, merged (through I can't think of a target). What does come to mind is however WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate catalog of things, including machine parts. As for 2n3055, well, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an invalid argument, but the other article seems to be better referenced and not a stub, so the comparison is not valid anyway. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for the moment will vote later. High rank has never been a criteria for notability in the martial arts. His 10th Dan Hanshi is a classic example of why in that it was either self awarded or given by his own organisation.

Peravurani railway station[edit]

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

Unremarkable geographical location/railway station. A Google image search brings up many unrelated photos, suggesting that the location isn't very notable. Only 10 Google News results. CatcherStorm ^talk 10:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The question of how much "inherent notability" attaches to railway stations is yet to be resolved: see comments within the past year here and here. As this station does not seem to come up to general notability criteria, and as we don't seem to have anything about the line this station is on, for the sake of discussion let us propose redirect to Peravurani : Noyster (talk), 19:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's definitely a real rail station.[15]. It's on the line that runs between Karaikudi Junction railway station and Pattukkottai. It's impossible for a rail station not to have extensive government reports, surveys and other historical records, many of which likely aren't in Latin script. While not major, an article of a rail station in the UK or US of this size or smaller would not even be considered for deletion. Unfortunately WP:BIAS is an issue. --Oakshade (talk) 02:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Civil Society app[edit]

Hype-heavy (borderline WP:G11) article with no real claim to notability; closest I find on Google search is a PowerPoint presentation given at a conference by one of the inventors, although name makes googling difficult. Nat Gertler (talk) 09:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Clear notable on opinion of: Internet Society: "The team has created innovative functionality within the Civil Society application", John Smith memorial trust: [[16]], and [17], and TechCamp: “sms-like” widget, which helped to provide pilot «voting from mobile» during President and Parliament election (2014). Our efforts with other actors prevented civil conflict and helped to fix peace after tragedy of the 02.05.14 in Odessa. Pilot findings helped to create new powerful democracy tool - Civil Society app, now there is pilot implementation. About googling difficult - it is a question about SEO, not the software importance. Try to find Grep by 'text searching' keywords, you will not find it even in top 50th. 'civil society software' you will find in on 31 position. About WP:G11 take a look on some software descriptions like DemocracyOS or Linux. Which one is better describes the software itself? Short and unclear description of DemocracyOS or hype-heavy Linux?

Delete then Redirect to the French list. I've tried to conform the article to the sole source, but even after that, there's only a sole source. The sole source we have states, explicitly, that it is relying on local media. If there's only one source and the source restricts its own verifiability to local media, the subject doesn't comply with our general notability guideline. In the alternative, if there were additional sources, but only for these same facts, this would not argue for a stand-alone article. With this paucity of facts, everything in the article can be fully accommodated on the French list. See the essay WP:NOPAGE. David in DC (talk) 17:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, having an article on Wikipedia may denote notability but it certainly does not denote reliability. See David Irving and James Tod for examples of notable but unreliable historians. The same, of course, applies to articles about books, and that a book might exist on, say, Google Books, is also meaningless from a reliability perspective. I'm surprised to see you advancing these arguments but have now found the draft I mentioned earlier and hope that it helps - see User:Sitush/CasteSources. - Sitush (talk) 08:02, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your essay and your reference to WP:HISTRS suggest that you only consider "solid contemporary scholarship" to be reliable. Other editors including the creator of this article consider the Rose source to be reliable in at least some contexts, and your essay doesn't suggest that the British were into creating fake tribes. As for the second source, you raised no objection that it was unreliable when you removed it from this article. This AfD might consider restoring the section on the Gungal deleted from another article and a redirect. Unscintillating (talk) 20:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have a vague memory that you and I have had this discussion about some other caste fairly recently, and that the article was deleted. The Brits created castes/tribes all over the shop, as also did the native people themselves - try Census of India prior to independence and Sanskritisation for examples of these processes, noting in particular that the British really didn't have a clue when it came to caste and arguably created much of the internecine mess that exists today.
I really couldn't care less what the creator of this article thinks is reliable - consensus is solidly against them and has been for years. Would you object to a neutrally-worded note at WT:INB regarding this AfD? I don't mind you asking for input there. - Sitush (talk) 20:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not interested in getting tied onto this AfD. I made a !vote, and you don't seem to deny that the references stand as verifying at least some of the information in this article. You say in one of the edit comments, "remove: it contradicts the sources used, which show both Jat and Rajput claims". Unscintillating (talk) 02:43, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not accept that the sources are even valid, so how can they verify anything of note? I am going to post at WT:INB because otherwise this will end up as "no consensus" simply because it is mostly one person who knows what they're talking about vs one who seemingly does not. - Sitush (talk) 07:44, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question If the Gungal is a fake tribe created as part of a British conspiracy, I wonder if there is an explanation for the now-removed content of this article. Is this part of a current-day effort to reinforce the 100-year old British conspiracy? Also, see Wikipedia:Inaccuracy. Unscintillating (talk) 02:43, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overly promotional lovefest for unsuccessful politician. Ran in the Democratic primaries 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, being beaten by the incumbent. This hagiography has a bombarded of sources but they are for the most part no good for notability. Most of the sources covering the election are about the election itself, not Scala. The often do not mention him or only do so in passing. There are no independent reliable sources that cover him in any depth.

WP:BLP, written like a campaign brochure and parked on a single source, of a person notable only as an as-yet-unelected candidate in a future election. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL; if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that the subject was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. But nothing here demonstrates any preexisting notability — and it's worth noting that the article was created by a user named "Johnclieske123", suggesting a conflict of interest. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN unless/until he wins an election so to me the more interesting question is whether he's notable in some other way, most likely WP:PROF. If he were, the article would need to be rewritten to focus on what he's actually notable for, but might be saved from outright deletion. However, his institution is not highly ranked (#250 in the US in political science from the searches I did), he has no major national or international awards, and his publications are not highly cited enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1.

Redirect to Forces Goal 2030#Air Force, where this is already properly covered. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:46, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Should this phrase even exist as a redirect? We don't normally redirect Future of X country's Air Force, Navy, et cetera. Curro2 (talk) 04:50, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Forces Goal 2030#Air Force per above.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
