VOTE KEEP!!!!! A) Death Threats against Presidents are Notable (other assassination attempts or threatened attempts get articles) B) Threats made by the right-hand man of a candidate are doubly so C) I have tried to remove the suggested problems you pointed out. Your comment of "no intention" is plainly unfair. I already made most of the changes you suggested on the talk page already, and I will go back and double-check that I have removed all of the remarks which you did not enjoy. D)You are welcome to edit the article; it belongs to all of us (indeed, to History, now.) Why do my "intentions" even matter? What matters is that we leave as much of a historical record as possible to future generations. If we have room for 10 million Reality TV star articles, we can afford an article on The Republican Nominee's personal servant's plot to kill the president. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crack Cocaine Aficionado (talk • contribs) 00:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That essay was written in 2014, and the article on the EIHL says "Formed in 2003 following the demise of the Ice Hockey Superleague, it is the highest level of ice hockey competition in the United Kingdom".

Yes I am sure. According to WP:NHOCKEY/LA, the EIHL is a lower-level league "for the purpose of satisfying criterion #4." Criterion #4 of NHOCKEY is "achieved preeminent honors" and he has achieved no honors. He fails NHOCKEY. Joeykai (talk) 15:32, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IOBDb is a trivial mention of the subject, as is the Doollee.com reference. IMDb is not independent. Searches for additional significant (non-trivial) coverage in reliable independent secondary sources turned up fruitless. Having written a screenplay for a television program does not qualify a person as notable. KDS4444^Talk 02:38, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: It's possible that he would squeak by. The TV movie he wrote won an award for Best TV Movie or Miniseries and was nominated for another Best TV Movie award: [2]. There's this mention in a book commending his acting: [3]. At least one of his several plays was listed as one of the best plays of 1982-1983: [4]. It's possible an assiduous Google & GoogleBooks search could turn up more. Given the combination of his talents and accolades, that may put him over the edge. He's in a "who's who" of theater, film, TV: [5]. Six months ago another editor and I cleaned up the article, which was formerly very long and promotional, but we didn't feel it merited deletion. Softlavender (talk) 03:25, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Okay. The appearance in the best plays of '82-'83 looks to me to be only a trivial mention that doesn't say much (or really anything) about him personally; the bit about him in the acting book looks to be only a part of a paragraph "about an actor I know who got a small part in a big movie"; the award mentioned for his tv series doesn't appear to be be on the page given, but it looks like you are talking about the PRISM Award that the series got (which would contribute to a notability claim for the series...) or the Aurora Gold Award (which also went to the series, but not its writer), though neither of these awards appears to be notable. I agree that there might possibly be enough here for a notability claim, but the evidence is thin. I still can't find any discussion of him in independent reliable sources, which is my biggest concern. Without that, I don't think a genuine notability claim can be supported. KDS4444^Talk 06:41, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When determining the notability of a creative, their entire body of work confers notability, not just discussions of the person themselves. I think there's a case to be made that his TV movie (not a series) winning the Prism Award and being nominated for the Satellite Award is the strongest contention of notability, and when combined with the other mentions and accolades, could confer sufficient notability, especially if something else were found. However I'm not sufficiently convinced right now to !vote, and I lack sufficient interest to do any further research at present. Softlavender (talk) 06:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More research: the Aurora Awards pretty clearly seem to be an awards mill: they give out more than 200 awards twice a year and charge each entrant for their submissions (and winners must also pay for their awards statue). The Satellite award is a real award—- though the subject did not receive one. If he were genuinely notable, it shouldn't be so difficult to find evidence of that notability in the form of discussion of him non-trivially in reliable independent secondary sources: people who receive notable awards typically end up being interviewed by journalists and their bodies of work become the subject of newspaper articles, magazines, and books. I am just not finding any of that for this person. KDS4444^Talk 09:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you are talking about Aurora awards; the film won the Prism award. I think having a movie one wrote win a best film award is good; but it is borderline. Again, I'm not !voting, just discussing. Softlavender (talk) 11:06, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as an expandable/improvable stub and simply tag for needed work, as the recognition of his works appears to meet WP:ANYBIO and the length and recognition depth of his career in film, television and theatre look to meet WP:ENT #1 & WP:CREATIVE. Sad that he has not been subject of headlines, but WP:SUBSTANTIAL is not a mandate and not the issue under WP:BASIC which tells us "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability".

This seems to be another fictitious member of the Ottoman dynasty, perhaps created after a matching (fictional) character. She is not mentionned in academic books like Cagatay Ulucay's Padisahlarin Kadinlari ve Kizlari, Alderson's Structure of the Ottoman Dynasty or Peirce The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire, nor even in popular personal website Royal Ark. The prince of whom she's the alledged mother existed, but it seems we simply have no information on his mother. The article on Turkish wikipedia is adorned with a collection of templates that leaves little hope about its survival in normal conditions. Phso2 (talk) 19:40, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any evidence of her on JSTOR or google scholar. Even if she did exist, being the consort of a sultan is not sufficient to demonstrate notability. (The articles on both Selim II and Mihrimah Sultan both mention Selimiye Hatun, but neither of them provide any sources whatsoever, and indeed in the latter article when information on her was removed for being unsourced, it was reinstated with the explanation "Look at the Selimiye Hatun page").

Lack of relevant references. Searched for sources, could not find anything substantial which was not dependent on Wikipedia. Contested PROD. SJK (talk) 22:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Question - Where did you search for sources? This is a 1970s piece of technology so a lack of any online references does not indicate a lack of notability. ~Kvng (talk) 22:42, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Lack of current sources is not cause for deletion when sources are expected to exist. The only issue here is that those sources are certainly going to be print-only, due to the subject at hand. This seems inherently notable to me, as a part of computing history. Sources needed, but I'm sure they exist. Alas, I'm not in a place where I can go hunt them out... I wonder if archive.org's library has some computing magazines from the day that might mention it? Fieari (talk) 01:08, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  I looked extensively for online sources (Google, Google News, Google Books, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library), and–putting aside Google Books snippet view, which I'll get to in a moment–I couldn't find any substantial coverage in reliable sources. I don't personally have access to any offline sources that might be relevant. But I should point out, the argument "don't delete this because offline sources to demonstrate notability could/might/probably exist" is really just a variant of WP:MUSTBESOURCES. To survive an AFD, it shouldn't be enough to merely argue that offline sources might exist, or even to argue that (in your opinion) they probably do – someone has to identify specific offline sources which demonstrate notability, and no one has been able to do that. Note this is distinct from WP:PAPERONLY/WP:OSO–those are bad arguments when specific offline sources have been identified, but they don't apply when no one can individually identify relevant offline sources. (Finally, deletion isn't permanent – if someone identifies sufficient offline sources at some future date, the article can always be undeleted or recreated.)

  I did find a couple of Google Books snippet view resources, which I'll describe in a moment. The problem with snippet view, is you see so little of the text, it is very hard to judge whether the reference complies with WP:RS and WP:GNG or not. This is different from Google Books preview, where you can often see the entire page containing the search term hit, frequently adjacent pages, and often many other pages of the book as well, which makes it much easier to judge the reference's reliability and its individual contribution to notability.

  According to Google Books, Software World volume 6 (1976) page 20 mentions a "CICS DEVELOPMENT AID: Gemini UK have released a new product designed to help IBM CICS users. GEMINI OLIVER (On-Line Interactive Video Environment Resource) is an on-line testing aid and debugging package for all IBM System 360/370 DOS and OS users of CICS and CICSA/S. GEMINI OLIVER, is designed to allow application ..." ("CICSA/S" is probably an OCR error for "CICS/VS"). Probably this is the same package as described in this article, but it's hard to be 100% sure given the article never mentions a company called Gemini. However, I'd point out this is just a "snippet view" journal, so unless someone actually has a printed copy of this journal issue (or a scanned-in copy), I don't see how we can judge this reference against the WP:RS and WP:GNG criteria. (Software World doesn't appear to be a particularly notable journal.)

  Another reference found on Google Books is International Directory of Software, CUYB Publications, 1980, p. 268. But once again, it's only snippet view, and unless someone has a scanned-in or hardcopy of this publication, we don't have enough information to judge whether this source meets WP:RS and WP:GNG.

  If anyone here has access to these hardcopy publications, I think we should all be willing to accept their description of them in general, and of how they cover this particular product – but, we still need to evaluate that description against the relevant policies. But if no one in the discussion has seen those sources, we can't conclude that they are sufficient for this article to pass WP:GNG – we can't just assume, that because unseen sources A and B discuss this product, their discussion of it is substantial enough to meet GNG

  I don't deny WP:ITEXISTS – this was a real commerical software product sold in the 1970s, and likely more recently than that as well. But, unless we start arguing that any and all commercial software products sold in the 1970s or earlier are automatically notable – we don't have enough evidence at present to judge it as meeting WP:GNG. (Now, if someone was to propose – any commercial software product prior to date X is automatically notable – I would actually be inclined to support such a proposal, but that isn't Wikipedia's notability standards as they currently stand, and the purpose of WP:AFD is to implement the policies as they currently exist, not to introduce new ones.) SJK (talk) 07:55, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  I also don't think mention in either Software World, or the International Directory of Software, is a good indication of notability, because they are both (I understand) non-selective publications – they aimed to include all commercially available software. As such, they are like the software equivalent of the telephone directory. SJK (talk) 08:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• An additional comment–despite its title containing "IBM", I can find no evidence this was ever an IBM product – indeed, the article text seems to suggest it is the work of other companies. I suspect the article title is erroneous. The article title originally didn't have "IBM" in the name. There is an IP comment at Talk:IBM OLIVER (CICS interactive test/debug) saying the article title is wrong. SJK (talk) 07:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and Move to Draft instead as my searches have found nothing and this is best deleted until it can be noticeably improved, nothing convincing for its own article at this time. SwisterTwister talk 07:16, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or No consensus until we can find editors with access to offline sources to determine whether this is notable. Delete !votes based on empty internet search results should not be given weight here. ~Kvng (talk) 14:34, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment which specific offline sources are you referring to? If you don't have specific offline sources in mind, this argument just seems to be a slight variant of WP:MUSTBESOURCES/WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. Since no one in this world can have a comprehensive selection of offline sources, by that standard everything from that time period must be notable, since you'd never be able to prove there aren't, somewhere out there, offline sources which demonstrate notability which no one has seen yet. It's essentially demanding to prove a negative (no one can ever prove that no offline sources exist, since no matter how many offline sources you check, there will always be more that you haven't) SJK (talk) 22:10, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I follow your reasoning but I find the potential implications unacceptable. Anything that is unsourceable on the internet would be subject to persuasive Delete arguments from editors who come up with empty searches. I agree that I haven't made a strong Keep argument but I think my No consensus argument is reasonable (though admittedly unconventional). ~Kvng (talk) 23:43, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If no one can present any sources for an article, then what is the harm in deleting it? If someone later identifies sufficient sources, the article can always be recreated. The article can be moved out of mainspace (into draftspace or userspace) – and then if someone one day finds sufficient offline sources to meet WP:GNG the article can be moved back to mainspace. SJK (talk) 10:21, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard arguments from others that anything unsourced should be removed from mainspace. I find the potential implications of that also unacceptable. There is no way sources are going to get added or any other improvements made if we delete or otherwise hide work in progress.

• Delete - What seems to be a complete and utter lack of attention to this program even in terms of 1970s and 1980s era publications accessed through Google Books, plus that it's not mentioned in any retrospective materials looking back at the development of the Customer Information Control System framework, makes me think that the notability of this is weak at best. The talk about the article being in 'the process of being built' or that new material 'is just about to be found' or whatever is disingenuous. I'm typing this days and days after the article was first nominated for deletion, and still it looks like while there's so much in the page being claimed about the program, there's still no sourcing.

Allegedly a historic kingdom in Portugal, but there are no sources provided and absolutely none are apparent in the usual internet searches. From all indications this is WP:MADEUP, or a hoax, and in any event there is no indication that it is notable.

• Speedy delete as hoax No sources found, and the language of the article approaches the preposterous on close reading. Every section of the article is noteworthy in this regard; there ARE NO SOURCES, and where dates are provided, they're "go-to" dates in European history like 1066 that would jump out of one's brain if one were creating a hoax article (whether or not for the deliberately nefarious purpose of damaging Wikipedia's credibility). Concrete example: the bluelinked purported/hoax language "Cillian" directs to an article regarding the Irish names "Cillian" and "Killian". The fact that the article's creator has done nothing else on WP strongly supports WP:MADEUP as well.

Daß Wölf (talk) 00:57, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You were blunter than I felt comfortable being, and I agree with you completely. I appreciate that you have unwittingly helped me raise this question: Why is it so hard to speedy-delete obvious hoaxes? (I assume this should actually be addressed via some bureaucratic Wikiprocess I'm in the process of identifying—WP:RFC, maybe? I don't know. I've only been here a year and a half, and interpret bureaucratic guidelines for a real-life living, and this has still taken hours to get to nowhere on, so who knows?!) Sometimes, OBVIOUS HOAXES ARE OBVIOUS, and I tag them as such, and I still get my CSD tags deleted with patronizing nastygrams on my talk page from well-meaning non-involved admins because "hoaxes aren't really supposed to be CSDed but really only PRODded," even though the hoaxster can, as here, blithely delete the PROD and force us all to this exercise in lunacy that only makes Wikipedians look silly. But I reckon this is a rant for another time and some other place. Thanks for letting me share. Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:13, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I didn't feel too comfortable tagging this, but seeing as you advocated speedy delete here, I did so. I agree completely that while this won't be obvious for everyone on the planet, this type of article needs to go ASAP. It does us far more damage to have 7 days of passing readers reading this and considering it plausible but "controversial" because of that pesky AfD/PROD notice they won't click, than to have them stumble on a totally obvious hoax, which they won't believe for a second. Daß Wölf (talk) 01:47, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All of this is true, but I still don't mind filing an AfD first in situations like this, partly just to confirm that I didn't miss something and mostly so that there will be a written record, readable by ordinary editors as well as admins, in the event that someone tries again to introduce a specious topic like this one. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:02, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. No, I get it, I just disagree.

  • None of that is criteria in WP:ALBUM so you don't get it. Referenced by multiple sources is the closest, but it's all trivial. There is no discussion of the actual album, the recording process, the musicians (ie. significant coverage). What is present is hype from their marketing department.

There are many Saudi Arabian princes and they are not inherently notable. This particular article falls afoul of WP:BLP1E and possibly WP:BLPCRIME. There doesn't appear to be any notability outside of this single event. clpo13_(talk) 15:51, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Indeed there are many Saudi Arabian princes but they are inherently notable as Saudi Arabia is an Absolute Monarchy where each prince can be considered to hold national or international office, making articles about them inherently valid as a US Senator or UK Minister of Parliament. Especially when the media coverage has conferred significant notability on a high-profile criminal act he was involved in and meets guidelines and those regarding reliable sources, which I think it has.

• Comment. The current Saudi monarch has several hundred half-nephews, and I strongly doubt that, even though they all have a special social status within Saudi Arabia, we should regard all of them as automatically notable - though the subject of the related AfD may have a claim, as (verifiably) a son of a previous Saudi monarch. In this case, though, the accusation of WP:BLP1E seems more true than usual - on a Google search, I can not find a single reference to this person, or for that matter his father, except in news stories about this specific criminal incident. Can anyone else do so? If not - we have quite enough evidence to show that the incident happened, and several aspects of the way it was handled only makes sense if the protagonist was indeed a Saudi prince. But I do wonder if his name was the one given in the news reports. PWilkinson (talk) 08:30, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The first two references are paragraph-styled laundry lists of achievements, not unlike someone's resume on their LinkedIn profile. The third reference, a listing of photos of the subject, is irrelevant. The fourth reference is a promotional article from the subject's record label's blog--itself promotional in purpose--and therefore cannot be considered independent.

• Delete IMBd is not a reliable source per our own rules, so it cannot be the only source. I have to say that having read the IMDb article on him, this is why I am skeptical of using ancestry categories on people like him. There is no indication that English, Irish and Cherokee captures all his ancestry. I know any listing of my ancestry that does not subsume most of it as undiferentiated and undiscernable American will be flawed. The fact of the matter is I have ancestors on both my mom's and dad's side, including my maternal grandmothers poorly identified father, whose actually ancestry we can not say anything beyond they were probably at least half of some sort of European descent. On my Dad's side I have one line that is allegedly Cherokee, and in fact one of my ancestors on that side used to have a Wikipedia article that mentioned such. However I have since come to realize a good percentage of Cherokee ancestry is actually a cover for African ancestry. So I have no clue what my actual ancestry is there either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NWI has been used as a point of reference in a large number of publications, including (but not limited to): Encyclopedia of Adolescence[25], Prevention Practice - A Physical Therapist’s Guide to Health, Fitness, and Wellness[26], Team-building Handbook: Improving Nurse-to-nurse Relationships[27], Health, Tourism and Hospitality: Spas, Wellness and Medical Travel[28], Lifetime Physical Fitness for Wellness - ‘The premier site for college and university programs and assessment tools'[29], Health and Wellness for Life[30], Health Promotion and Wellness - An Evidence-based Guide to Clinical Preventive Services[31], Survey of Athletic Injuries for Exercise Science[32], Health Promotion and Aging: Practical Applications for Health Professionals[33] I was the original writer of the article and was a paid contributor Fbell74 (talk) 01:34, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fbel1184, your subjective judgment of the importance of the organization is inevitable affected by the fact that you were, just as you say, paid by the organization to write the article. As for distinguished people attending or speaking at their meetings, not everything that a Senator does is intrinsically notable--they inevitable attend many non-notable events as well. DGG ( talk ) 18:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would point out that the comments I made are related to the merits of retaining the article rather than being opinion based. Certainly, notable people, such as senators and the others that I mentioned do attend and speak at both notable and non-notable events. If this was the sole basis for notability, then it might not be enough. However, this is part of the larger picture. Separately, I believe (and this is an opinion) that it would be of interest generally to know that one or other of these individuals has been associated with the National Wellness Conference. For example, I was quite surprised that Mike Huckabee had been a keynote speaker, as I hadn't imagined him as a wellness type of person. Fbell74 (talk) 01:08, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep - Reference #2 is the only thing holding this up, as it appears to be a reliable source that is citing this organization as being a reliable source. Personally, I don't care that someone paid to have it created as long as it isn't an advertisement (and this clearly isn't written as such), but it is important that a 3rd party independently references the organization as being of interest. It seems that this barely scrapes by on that standard. Fieari (talk) 03:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean reference 2 in the article, which is a local newspaper,or the second reference in the list above. Prevention Practice.. a book in only 137 libraries by an author who has writtennothing else, a/c WorldCat. One such source is not enough for 1notability DGG ( talk ) 18:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My original comment referred to ref2 in the article, which granted, is a local paper, but it's not reporting on a local topic. On that basis, I said weak keep, maybe even very weak. On the books listed above, the list was enough to upgrade my vote to keep. I'm finding that each of the books listed do cite this organization, and that while some of them are smaller printings, none of them are vanity presses and they can be found in some major libraries. Are you suggesting that an academic book should have a bestseller-like print run to be considered reliable? Fieari (talk) 23:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Changing vote from weak keep to keep, in light of the additional sources provided by Fbell74, above. If reliable sources cite this organization as a reliable source, that should fulfil notability requirements. Fieari (talk) 03:40, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is an advertisement, created by a paid editor in order to publicise the institute. Wikipedia does not allow advertisements, of any kind, anywhere. Paid editing of articles is very strongly discouraged; in practice, about the only form of discouragement we have is to undo or delete those unwelcome edits. Delete this, without prejudice to re-creation of a real Wikipedia article by an impartial non-involved editor. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:38, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - as non-notable. I'm not finding enough in-depth coverage by independent, reliable sources. I also find the article promotional, but that's not reason to delete. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be far too long. A category of the same topic has already been created. — Music1201 ^talk 04:20, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If and when the list article becomes too long, then it can be split into separate pages. (WP:SPINOUT) Possibly it will never become too long. (WP:HASTE) Also, a list can co-exist with a corresponding category. (WP:CLN)

The list has well-defined criteria for inclusion that don't leave the impression that length can become an issue. Uanfala (talk) 00:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, I do not understand the purpose of this list. It is not to help navigation and does not seem to meet notability for stand-alone lists. I am afraid that it is an exercise in original research. Renata (talk) 22:08, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This list presents, on one page, details which are not presented on the category page, as well as details (specific languages) which are not presented on all the entry article pages. For some multilingual websites, the reader needs to visit the website (or consult this list) to find those details. Thus, the reader of the list is able to compare the details (of various websites) presented on one page. That advantage very definitely does help navigation for readers interested in specific languages or in large numbers of languages. (WP:CLN, paragraph 2, second half) Also, the two external links in the present version are to pages discussing multilingual websites, and there are many other web pages also discussing multilingual websites. The list very definitely does meet notability for stand-alone lists. (WP:LISTN)
