This character article fails to establish notability. TTN (talk) 21:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Completely agree. I think I created this page years ago when I didn't understand notability guidelines. I would say move any relevant content to Tailchaser's Song, but there's not much that merits moving. The reference to Orpheus and Eurydice is interesting but probably original research - there isn't that much of a parallel anyway. Nat2 (talk) 00:22, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The suggestion to redirect to Harlem Shake (meme) certainly seems reasonable, and is in line with WP:ATD, but I see a clear enough delete consensus here that I'm going to go with that. If somebody wants to recreate this as a redirect, no problem with that. Discounting all of the keep comments which appear to be result of canvassing on reddit and express no policy-based reasoning. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:00, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would try to avoid WP:OTHERSTUFF in an AFD. Besides, the number of subscribers on YouTube doesn't give you WP:INHERITED nobility, there's probably other YouTubers with a million subscribers, or more, that you've may never heard of. Adog104 Talk to me 18:11, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Frankly [haha], this is sort of WP:NOT#ESSAY (if this can be applied in AFD's); like other articles, other YouTubers are up for discussion at any time. As much as I like Frank as a YouTuber, he doesn't appear to have the sufficient criteria to pass either WP:BIO, WP:NRV, or WP:GNG for that matter because most sources about him are primary and the information about the Harlem Shake is trivial (which could easily be merged to the Harlem Shake article and is up for debate). In addition, many other YouTubers have merchandise and music and fan art, but that doesn't contribute to their notability (unless their music is notable of course).

The result was merge to American Public Health Association. Clear consensus to not keep as a standalone article. Less clear between delete and merge. Going with merge, partly as a compromise, partly to comply with WP:ATD, and partly because it seems to make sense.

After the copyvio purging, there's not really much here to merge, but I guess at least some mention that it exists would make sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:51, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And I've found even more copyright violations at Mortimer Spiegelman Award. It appears to have been copied and pasted from this link.

@Hx7, Suslindisambiguator added what you say copyvio within the ((blockquote)) template. So this seems a blockquote/copyright violation misunderstanding case.

The result was merge to Manipal University. Clear consensus here for not keeping as a standalone article, and implementing some flavor of WP:ATD.

How do you view Formula Manipal then? It's a circuit racing team instead of an off-road racing team, but also a student initiative from the same university. There are hundreds of universities that compete in these classes; I don't know if they have Wikipedia articles or not, but there may be hundreds of articles to be deleted when following your reasoning. Not that it would be wrong, I can't find the guidelines that state that university racing teams are not to have articles or even mention in other articles?

Appears not to meet GNG or WP:ACADEMIC. Her Scholar citations don't seem especially high over a long period of time, and the 40 or less cites are much more common than the earliest much higher ones. All GHits are primary (personal) material, and she does not seem to have won any prestigious awards or been inducted into any prestigious professional societies. I'm just not sure that in the absence of anything else, being the director of a lab with five staff members (and only one post-doc out of the other four, and all classified as "research assistants") quite makes the cut.

You say that it's a notable film, but:
  1. the article makes no claim of notability, and
  2. it doesn't seem to have been covered at length in multiple reliable sources.
So I don't see the notability, and with the amount that is currently in the article, why not merge to Herbert_Blaché. It's a short article that doesn't even mention this film except as a note in his filmography, so redirecting The Temptations of Satan there will allow that article to have more substance. If his article becomes unwieldy and overgrown, sure, then it can be split out. --Slashme (talk) 17:21, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but no article ever has to overtly state "this topic is notable because..." and while covered at length is fine, it is not a policy nor a guideline. Schmidt, Michael Q. 02:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No-one is expecting an article to say "this topic is notable because…", but an article about a topic that doesn't say anything about it that makes the reader understand that it's notable, is a problem. For example, there is CSD A7 "This applies to any article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". If you're writing about a topic that's important enough to include in Wikipedia but you don't mention what's so interesting or important about it, that's not helpful to the reader. --Slashme (talk) 05:33, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think a merge there would be a good idea so thank you for suggesting it. With hindsight it's a pity you didn't go ahead and do that rather than come to AFD. Still, delete is not a suitable step on the way to a merge. Thincat (talk) 09:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To determine notability, we can use common sense and logic supported by guideline... one of which states it can be determined when a "film represents a unique accomplishment in cinema, is a milestone in the development of film art, or contributes significantly to the development of a national cinema" and also when a "film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career". In 1914, the United States was only then growing into the film creating country it is now, so we have a historic notability per guidelines.. like it or not. And too, we can certainly and logically believe that a film by a notable filmmaker was reviewed and spoken of in 1914 media, without expecting that pre-World War 1 media will be somehow archived online for 102 years. Book refs are expected and quite satisfactory. Schmidt, Michael Q. 02:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So is it a unique achievement? No: it wasn't even this director's first feature-length film. Was it a major part of his career? I see no evidence of this. And I agree that we shouldn't get hung up over online sources if book sources exist, but I haven't seen anyone give a reference to another one, online or not. There's room to include the whole text of this article in the director's article, and the film isn't even mentioned there, so why not redirect and merge? --Slashme (talk) 05:33, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG with no secondary sources, does not meet any criteria of WP:BKCRIT. I can't find anything other than press releases online. McGeddon (talk) 09:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These are primary sources (the book's website, the publisher's Facebook page, a press release). You can click the WP:GNG link to find out about secondary sources - all Wikipedia articles require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". --McGeddon (talk) 09:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A secondary source has been added. a tertiary website covering the release of the book. When discussing a press release written by someone, the only source that exists is the press release in question. There are no secondary sources for the "plot" of the book, and that is in the book itself. There are no secondary sources for publishing data except that released by the publisher. So all secondary sources that can be added have been added.--Kristina Meister (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A blog entry posted by the author's agent is not "independent of the subject". Typical sources for a book article are defined as: "published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews" and explicitly not "media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book".
If Creature's Cookbook has not yet received any mainstream reviews or other press coverage, it is too early for it to have an article in Wikipedia. --McGeddon (talk) 10:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that while looking for sources to improve the article, I found a couple of sites identifying Kristina Meister as the author of this book ("Kristina Meister writing as the monster Simon Alkenmayer"). The article (and the now-deleted Simon Alkenmayer article) were previously claiming Alkenmayer to be the author and implying that he was a real person. --McGeddon (talk) 11:11, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am the editor of the project. The citation that was added was added in error. But if you would like to continue editing the entry with a vendetta and bad information, we would all just rather you remove the article. But when I attempted to delete, you put it back up. So do as you please and delete the entry. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristina Meister (talkcontribs) 20:48, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I could find no evidence that Simon Alkenmayer existed (just some jokey press releases describing him as a real-life "immortal monster who must eat humans to survive" who has a publishing deal), and two sources describing horror writer Kristina Meister as the author writing under a pseudonym. As the only other editor to have worked on this article, I've no objection to a speedy delete under WP:G7. --McGeddon (talk) 16:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I created this article, admittedly, and know little to nothing about the subject of video games. Are not Design & Trend, Christian Post, GoNintendo, and Tech Times reliable sources? Are they not indeed independent of the topic in question? They are somewhat passing mentions, in the respect that they are mentioned briefly in the articles, but the topic itself appears to be the cause of their discussion. I believe that an interview with Denis Dyack indeed makes the subject non-routine for a Youtuber. I'm not asking and stating these sarcastically either, this is my first deletion discussion, and I definitely want to become acclimated to the discussion environment here on Wikipedia. Milo Yiannopoulos' Hair (talk) 08:09, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In order to be considered notable according to Wikipedia's standards, you need third party sources about him, not third party sources citing him. If "Tech Times did a story about SuperMetalDave64, then that'd be valid. WP:VG/S has a list of sources to use and avoid. Pretty sure GoNintendo is one to avoid, FYI. Sergecross73 msg me 17:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see!!! This has been quite edifying, thank you for clarifying this, the notability guidelines on Wikipedia are more linked to availible information in fully reputible sources. That makes perfect sense. Sergecross73, NinjaRobotPirate, and Tokyogirl79. I do know that SuperMetaldave was linked to some some high profile leaks in and around December of last year involving NEOGAF, there may be some interesting coverage in there somewhere.

I see the point, but unsourced does not necessarily mean that the information is wrong and unsourceable.
