I found this article months ago and I nominated it for speedy in December with which it was removed and added a source, however with the comment that it was still questionable therefore here we are at AfD. FWIW, my searches have found nothing better than this. SwisterTwistertalk 05:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, 2 sources above only mention this "film" in passing and make no comment on its merit and the other is only promotional and very short.--Grahame (talk) 01:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I believe the coverage I found and offered shows the topic as meeting WP:GNG and that this topic has the notability enough to merit a keep. My mentioning a merge and redirect was only a secondary consideration. Schmidt, Michael Q. 00:57, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, but without a strong objection to Merge and Redirect to Open-source filmif there's anything to merge. That's an impressive list of sources, but upon inspection most are brief mentions and a whole lot of them are the exact same article printed in different places. Certainly fails WP:NFILM/WP:GNG, but if there's something to use over at the open-source film article, go for it (that article, by the way, is currently an indiscriminate link farm, but that's another issue). — Rhododendritestalk \\ 04:34, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, guideline tells us that when we have few substantial sources, multiple less-than-substantial ones can show a notability. Schmidt, Michael Q. 05:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MichaelQSchmidt: "specifically" what part of WP:N as I am not aware of any such guideline allowing us to ignore the 'significant coverage' part of 'significant reliable sources' in favour of a large quantity of trivial mentions (as you appear to be suggesting). I have had another read through WP:N and have not found what it is you refer to, perhaps I have missed it or else misunderstood your above comment? Note that your above attempted link to WP:SUBSTANTIAL is a dead link, so again it is unclear to what you refer. InsertCleverPhraseHere 20:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC) <outdent>[reply]
@Insertcleverphrasehere: Wow. Have you never read WP: BASIC and its instruction "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". And in a personal intepretation of trivial, you may be forgetting "directly and in detail" does not mandate it also be reams of coverage. What may have been lost on you is that the proffered link to WP:SUBSTANTIAL is intentionally red to underscore that SUBSTANTIAL is NOT a guideline requirement. So in looking past what is not a guide, we have WP:GNG which is a guide. And if we understand it as a guide, it does not suggest that editors banter over it as an existing community standard, nor that we blithely ignore the {already offered) coverage available of "Stray Cinema" on Daily Telegraph, Brisbane Times, The Age, Open Source, Sydney Morning Herald, Encore Magazine, Open Business (1), Open Business (2), Medien ABC (German), Scoop, Courier Mail, The New Zealand Open Source Society, DV Guru, etc. That you may personally choose to ignore coverage is a choice I personally do not make... nor will I participate in truly unnecessary arguments in the face of existing guide instructions. Thank you and best of luck. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:57, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This rather elitist tirade is rather inappropriate. I asked for the guideline you were referring to, and you cited WP:Notability but the statement you were talking about was in WP:Notability (people), so you can't blame me for not finding it in WP:N. I don't have any objection to the guideline, or applying it here, I just wanted to know where it was. So thank you for finally providing it. As for the whole "red link is intentionally red, sorry its lost on you", you might consider that this is confusing, to anyone who doesn't already know what you are talking about. InsertCleverPhraseHere 22:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BIO's WP:BASIC is a part of the parent WP:N and, in its dealing with people, is a more critical guideline. I had no intention to sound "elitist", and was simply attempting instruction that less-than-substantial sources are acceptable per notability guideline. I personally like sources that are in depth and substantial, but that wish is not the rule. Schmidt, Michael Q. 04:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You're still listing all of those sources like they're all separate, reliable sources. Let's look at all of them:
nzoss looks like it drew directly from the press release, and one would be hard pressed to pass a blog post by an open source society as a reliable source to establish notability of an open source film, I think (but again, it looks to be a version of the press release).
The above use of first person without qualification casts some doubt on the reliability of the other openbusiness article, an interview, seemingly indicating some connection between openbusiness and stray cinema. In any event, openbusiness doesn't even look to say anything about itself on the websites (at least in the pages linked through the archive), and I don't know what reason we have to think it's a reliable source.
The Opensource.com is written by one of the people involved with Stray Cinema, Michelle Hughes.
So in that long list is one decent source. While I agree with the way you describe WP:BIO, I don't see how this comes anywhere near satisfying that set of criteria. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 01:00, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Who said anything at all about being archived meaning they're the same source? They're the same source because they're literally the same source. The same article published in multiple places. Allow me to quote the first paragraph from each:
Hence, same source (as it says at WP:N "It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works." — Rhododendritestalk \\ 05:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Okay... so how we disregard all bad sources, and you pick your favorite one from among the four media sources that published that article authored by news stringer James Clasper, and then add it to the Inside Film article authored by Don Groves and then add the Screen Daily article authored by Jeff Cartwright, and perhaps grant that three independent sources meet WP:GNG?

Keep - Soooo, @In ictu oculi, GeoffreyT2000, and SwisterTwister: you guys know "mixtape" in this context does not mean "greatest hits" or "compilation", right? It's not 20 songs that all have the word "love" to tell that special someone just how you feel. A hip hop mixtape is, for all intents and purposes, an album. Usually it just means it was released for free online rather than through a record label. This got coverage from Pitchfork, MTV, Hip Hop DX, Complex, The Source, Stacks Magazine, Uproxx, Medium (author writes for Billboard)... and those were just on the first few pages of ghits. Not all of them are deep, but it's plenty to satisfy WP:NALBUM. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 04:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nothin Personal has been treated as an album by using promotion, singles sold exclusively on Spotify, and physical copies being sold online and on tours, but the only difference being digital versions were released for free.

Keep, per wp:GEOLAND, and thanks to link provided by User:Malcolmx15. There has been substantial study of this unusual lake and rock formation. The article should be about both. It seems to me that "Kelm Pond" may be shorthand for the "Kelm Pond body" or some other full name for the magma-based rock formation that is a Sill (geology) type of pluton, i.e. it is a tabular sheet intrusion, presumably 50 metres (160 ft) by 5 kilometres (16,000 ft), formed by magma invading along a weak layer between sedimentary or other rock layers. The rock formation perhaps now creates the modern pond by forming a dam (as in common usage, not meaning a Dike (geology) which is another kind of pluton). Anyhow, there is plenty out there about this, and it is good to let the students and other scientists who are studying the geology of the area to continue to develop this. Let Wikipedia grow, don't shut down incipient efforts by potentially valuable future academicly-oriented editors. --doncram 04:17, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete at best instead and mention however as needed at the local community's article as there's at best nothing to suggest its own actual independently notable article. SwisterTwistertalk 07:11, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But the Chestertown, New York article is about a hamlet, which is perhaps nearby but does not include Kelm Pond itself, and is not a geography / geology type article, and the info would be out of place. So mentioning this at a "local community" article and redirecting to there doesn't seem feasible, unless there is another potential redirect target that I don't see. --doncram 21:00, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft. From doncram's comments, it sounds like there could be an interesting and encyclopedic article written about this body of water, but the current article isn't it. I'm tempted to say keep, because AfD is not for cleanup, but that's an argument which fits better on a topic which is more obviously notable. While I suspect there might be a decent article which could be written here, it's not obvious that's the case, so it would be a stretch to apply that argument here. So, move it to draft, socialize the existence of the draft on the appropriate geology-oriented wikiprojects, and hopefully something will grow here which can get moved back to mainspace eventually. I would not be opposed to a keep outcome, but incubating in draft seems better to me. -- RoySmith(talk) 13:39, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Taking this to AfD due to recent disputes as to notability. I am going to go with a very weak delete, as notability seems to be somewhat dubious.

Delete. I found a passing mention here, and that's it, but it says that the satellite exists even if it was not launched. Russian sources would likely be better.
One could argue for a permastub because (I assume) satellites are somewhat rare compared to the last software or gizmo on the market, as they are a larger order to manufacture, so they are all presumed to be more notable. Even then, I would like to see a RS demonstrating that it was a functional satellite - for all we know it could be a box of metal with a camera taped to it and completely improper to fly into space.
In any case, the claims about climate engineering are mostly WP:OR, so if kept we should stick with mention of the satellite. TigraanClick here to contact me 08:30, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Republic of VeniceVenetian (disambig) (updated -- see note below), once home to a Venetian people. As this is unsourced and functionally redundant to that article, there's no sense keeping it, though. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 04:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on common language, ancestral, social, cultural, or national experiences. Reading Venetian nationalism, I found many points supporting the thesis of a modern Veneti ethnicity (starting after 1900, I would say). I agree that the introduction is more to the Adriatic Veneti. I don't agree that Venetian refers only to the people from Venice: Venetian is also used to identify historical to the large dominion of the Republic of Venice. Anyway, at most that would open a talk about renaming the article to Veneti people. Many Veneti consider Veneto to be a nation distinct from Italy and often refuse the validity of the result of the referendum with which Veneto was united with Italy in 1866. There must be something worth to trouble the Italian institutions to a harsh reaction after a informal referendum in 2014: Franco Rocchetta, former member of the Parliament, founder of Liga Veneta, was arrested, alleged to be a terrorist. He was later released from prison, but the message was clear. His fault ? endorsement of the Plebiscito.eu committee. Many Italians seem to feel a diversity from the Veneti, despising them by the insult polentone (Polenta eater), and accusing them of thinking only to work, with zero culture (today, the insult is extended by originating from south to all northerners, but it originated toward the Veneti). A culture of hard work, as opposed to that of the bella vita (good life), seems to cut across two different cultures. --Robertiki (talk) 09:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You've utterly failed to address anything relevant to a deletion discussion, which is where, by whom, and how extensively is this subject documented? This discussion is not about your or anyone else's opinions of politics and history. It's about what is reliably and independently documented. So far, we have the article's creator (also a major contributor to the deleted article, who can be found in the article's talk page saying that this thesis is not supported by any published histories because the whole world has completely "censored" it) citing xyrself in the re-created article (third citation, on a self-publishing WWW site) and you citing things about a Venetian language not a people. The challenge that this is an unsupported, undocumented, unreviewed synthesis, in violation of our no original research policy, has been put forward time and again: on the article's talk page in 2009, in a prior AFD discussion, and even at Deletion Review. Once again: Where are the sources for this subject, as synthesized and as claimed by this article's and the supporting self-published source's author not to have been documented by anyone? Sources! Sources! Sources! Uncle G (talk) 12:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Uncle G, Robertiki, and Serafart: Well let's be clear about something: "Venetians"/"Venetian people" is most definitely a real subject. It's not just a language. It's part of Italy now, but Venetians are from the Republic of Venice, which we have an article about as well as History of the Republic of Venice. It was an independent city-state for centuries. If you're wanting for sources about "venetian people", a quick google book search turned up a whole lot. The problem isn't that this isn't a notable subject -- it's that this article seems confused (or at least confusing) in the way it combines people of the region, people of the historic region, and speakers of the language into one group. I don't know how much the terms are used in which ways these days, but I can see that this article doesn't offer readers anything beyond what is already covered at the Republic of Venice and other articles on the subject. Therefore redirect. I do believe that someone could recreate this article down the road and it would be acceptable, though. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 14:07, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To Uncle G. Where ? People unhappy with taxes would automatically want to seceed ? No. Only if there is a underlying identity. So news like this and this looks to me as relevant. More about identity and more. Per definition there is a identity in play to collectively act against a centralized power. Also UN gives space. Only the language, but a first established piece of the identity. Whom ? Explain what you are asking for, please. How extensively ? Not very much, I would say. Perhaps it's a too pacific people, makes no news, perhaps you would say: lukewarm about their identity ? About the creator, please, split the replies, don't pull me on his wording. You are right that sources are missing. But it is no reason to cold suppress, without giving time to searching (I agree that the creator should have done a first job). If a common language, a cultural identity and a cultural memory (in Brazil, Mexico, United States) are not enough to warrant a waiting phase, then let us wait a "recreate" of this article in an acceptable way. --Robertiki (talk) 15:31, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CONTENTFORK. The article is just an incoherent mess and as said by User:Rhododendrites above it "doesn't offer readers anything beyond what is already covered at the Republic of Venice and other articles on the subject". I disagree with the redirect suggestion as the term is too ambiguous to be redirected somewhere (Adriatic Veneti, Venice, Veneto, Republic of Venice and a few others seem all relevant). Cavarrone 19:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually that's a good point that it's ambiguous. I've updated my redirect target to point to Venetian, a disambiguation page which includes "historical inhabitants of the Republic of Venice" and can include any of those. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 19:12, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I try to find a place where the house could be mentioned. This is about the house named "Maplewood" (probably not "Maplewood Mansion"), built in 1856 and occupied by Thomas Stanger and family (per google books source with pic mentioned by others above). The pic shows a Stick style house, and the Stanger family is prominent in Glassboro, and it looks like the house potentially could have significance high enough to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places (which does cover sites of local significance, if they are well enough preserved, etc.) There is no NRHP-listed historic district in Glassboro (per National Register of Historic Places listings in Gloucester County, New Jersey). If there was a pic of the house (not present in article), perhaps the house could be mentioned at an article about the Whitney(?) glassworks owned by the Stanger family, which was apparently very significant. About "HISTORY OF GLASS MAKING IN GLASSBORO NJ (1780-1929)", see here. Perhaps the appropriate level of coverage would be to include a picture of the house with a short caption. But there is no article about glassmaking in Glassboro as far as I can tell. (There is List of defunct glassmaking companies.) Or a pic could arguably be included in Glassboro, New Jersey#History, which mentions various names of glass companies there. (Or perhaps the house could be mentioned at the Whitney Mansion (Glassboro, New Jersey) article, an article about a National Register-listed house which I am only speculating could have some connection, if that article were expanded.) But with no pic currently available, and not much in the article to save, I have to conclude "Delete" is appropriate now. --doncram 21:28, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We correctly list these among the works of Émile Moreau (playwright), as does the corresponding fr: Émile Moreau (auteur). His years are 1852–1922, which also fit the dates of the works far better than 1877–1959. Moreover, Émile Moreau (politician) has exactly the life dates given in the Italian article for the putative dramatist and screenwriter: 20 June 1877 – 28 January 1959. The indisputably real playwright was born and died in Yonne. The indisputably real politician was born and died in Quebec. The Italian article on the putative dramatist and screenwriter follows IMDb in having him born in Yonne and deceased in Quebec. I cannot find the second writer anywhere in the BF and conclude that he is an IMDb chimera, probably based on confusion with the politician. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I concur completely with Yngvadottir. I was the editor who "gutted" Émile Moreau (writer) when LouisAlain pointed me to the article he has recently created titled Émile Moreau (playwright). There is very little doubt that the Émile Moreau who collaborated with Victorien Sardou in 1890 to write Cléopâtre was not 13 years old at the time. One of the problems of IMDb is the inability of its contributors to distinguish between individuals with the same name when adding works attributed to them. What's left of our Émile Moreau (writer) article has nothing to indicate notability, or even whether a writer with those dates and name actually existed. --RexxS (talk) 22:50, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The 2011 version of the article was right, given that it has point by point agreement with what is being asserted is correct here. It's a shame that editors didn't go back to it, rather than starting a new article. All this duplication because one edit got some dates wrong. A simple redirect would solve the duplication, quickly and smoothly. Uncle G (talk) 12:17, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Sad - if that original version had only given his birth and death dates. I see that the French article was already in existence then - started in 2011 - but there was an article on a financier at the simple title in French. I didn't attempt to trace the history on Wikidata to see whether looking there at the time of that edit would have helped identify the correct dates and the existence of a lot of French material on the playwright. This should probably become a redirect in that case, or would you advocate swapping the disambiguators, moving the "playwright" article to "writer"? Yngvadottir (talk) 13:12, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I merely lean towards the simplest solution, enactable with just the edit tool. It's worth finding out what LouisAlain's opinion on the disambiguators is. Uncle G (talk) 13:19, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looking back through the revision history of this article shows that the original editor, Neddyseagoon gave the wrong dates of birth and death on the day he created the article (18 February 2008) and immediately after, rejected them. The wrong dates were re-applied by Tjmayerinsf in January 2012. Various categories were added and deleted, as was persondata, and the article title was altered to make room for a dab page. Throughout the last five years, the article has remained completely unreferenced and consistently incorrect in the dates of birth and death, as well as the consequent categorisation. It also languished at a misleading title as Émile Moreau was a playwright, not a writer as we would usually understand the word. It's no surprise that LouisAlain didn't spot this compendium of errors when he translated and created Émile Moreau (playwright). So, Uncle G, could you tell us exactly what parts of this article or its history are worth preserving? --RexxS (talk) 15:11, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I haven't the slightest understanding of why the deletion of the article Émile Moreau (writer) seems to still be an issue. Not only are his dates erroneous but even the categories are wrong. He wasn't a French screenwriter, a male screenwriter, a French male writer, just nobody seems to know who that person may have been. Apparently, some editor mistook him for a Canadian politician after the Italian article. What a mess! LouisAlain (talk) 15:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing even on the subject's own WWW site. No-one else documents this group, either. I have found no way to verify anything bar 1 statement in this article, which is the name of 1 of its members, and an album title and record label, which the article at hand claims not to be the case.

This (unsourced) short has received no discernable coverage in independent secondary-sources. It was previously deemed potentially notable due to the fact that it appeared to have starred Jennifer Garner in an early role (possibly meaning it "features significant involvement... by a notable person"). However, since then, it appears that this was a 'spelling mistake' (!!!) and it actually featured the unknown Jennifer Garretson. Thus we have a short film which has recieved no coverage; no full-length reviews; no awards; and in no other way fulfills the requiremets of WP:NFILM. Not even a page on IMDB, which, although not a reliable source, might at least confirm its existance if nothing else. MuffledPocketed 15:10, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Delete As nominator.

Yes, but #4 as I read it is about, say, literary works that are given to students as a study subject; not about handbooks that help with studying the curriculum. — kashmiriTALK 09:58, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, actually you are right, I retract that. The relevant footnote says "This criterion does not include textbooks or reference books written specifically for study in educational programs, but only independent works deemed sufficiently significant to be the subject of study themselves, such as major works in philosophy, literature, or science". I thought "or science" meant all non-textbook scientific books were okay but I guess its target is rather things such as the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Clearly, the book itself is not (yet?) an object of study. TigraanClick here to contact me 11:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I guess that simply being a compendium it is not really groundbreaking enough to be an object of studies. Compendia like this one are published regularly, every few years (sometimes several a year!) in every area of medicine, as a handy reference book for students and medical consultants. Not sure this one merits inclusion in Wikipedia on its own - but if so, I can easily add a few dozen others in other areas of medicine. PubMed will perhaps give tens of thousand results - there should be at least one reference book for the majority of ~7000 described disorders. Regards, — kashmiriTALK 11:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I found three reviews on my school database and I included as much information about them as possible. The difficulty level here is that since this is a textbook, most of the coverage is in places that don't really come up easily in a search and what does come up is on databases that can only be accessed via a membership. I also see where the work seems to be routinely listed as an authoritative source in places like here and here. This article needs to be expanded by someone more familiar with the topic, otherwise I could easily see someone make the argument that this could just redirect to its author's article.

Probably delete his main claim to fame is that he writes as a critic of one Ken Wilber who writes about something called Integral theory (Ken Wilber) which is WP:FRINGE. It would take a bit of effort to look more deeply, since it is not only FRINGE, but also requires a reading knowledge of Dutch; perhaps this topic is more appropriate for Wikipedia Netherlands.

Delete Does not meet the MMA notability criteria at WP:NMMA with only one top tier fight (and a loss at that).

This article is written for nearly no other purpose than advertising. It does nothing but espouse positive aspects of the school and is clearly written with a promotional/marketing bias.

Reply Notability is not at question here. Article fulfills deletion policy per reason 4: "Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)". I believe given the current state of the article and how intertwined uncited sources are within the article, it should be subject to WP:TNT at the minimum.

The result was delete. While there is some evidence presented that an appropriate article could be a possibility here, there also is a strong consensus that COI editing has made the current state of the article an unsalvageable mess.

Delete as total tosh. Perhaps tosh is too strong a word; she's undoubtedly an artist, and undoubtedly known within the art-world. But I question her notability beyond that sphere; the sources are comprised primarily of blogs, worldcat, imdb, etc, and fail to demonstrate any long-term, inherent notability, as would be demonstrated by independent sourcing.

Comment. I accepted the AfC, and I think she is notable. There are several references in the article (all in Russian) which demonstrate notability. However, I already regret the decision, as the author immediately flooded the article with a irrelevant stuff, and, when I tried to help, she has thrown even more stuff on me (mainly basing the arguments on WP:OTHERSTUFF), so that I gave myself a word to never ever touch the article again. This is a nice example why people should not write autobiographies.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment: After posting my !vote above, it occured to me that most of the crap sourcing seemed to be in the (in any case excessive) biblographical section. I have been WP:BOLD (feel free to revert, of course) and removed this, with the intention of showing what remains- and whether that is indicative of notability? E.g., 'St Petersburg's Encyclopaedia', maybe? Cheers, MuffledPocketed 13:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
At least Saint Petersburg Encyclopedia, Expert (current Ref. 9) and Smena (Ref. 10; can not open it now but I believe I have read it before).--Ymblanter (talk) 14:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm....Ref 10 has a barely evanescent mention of Natalia Toreeva - certainly not anything approaching notability. Ref 9 also has a single passing mention as
There were his disciples Anatoly Basin, Natalia and Yuri Toreeva Nashivochkin, create your own work of art association "Temple Wall", what is the next section of the exhibition is provided. In sidlinskoy school he stopped me, "Portrait of a mother" Toreevoy. From the gloom displayed ugly beautiful face of an old woman. Natalia Toreeva worked as an artist at the "Lenfilm". She worked at the Alexis Herman, when he filmed "Twenty Days Without War". There are strange convergence. Why do I remember this movie, looking at the "Portrait of a mother?" Because the portrait about the same as a movie. About the ill time and beautiful people, the share of which it got.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Hello, this is Natalia Toreeva, the "real" person from your article. I can see several problems here. In parallel I am doing my input into Soviet Nonconformist Art article, specifically 1960-1980, the movement I was part of it. Ans since in Russia almost no one speaks/write in English, they asked me to do my input. I feel it is my obligation also to write about that time and artist groups where I knew and communicated with almost all artists and groups I mentioned in the article. And since for example, in Arefiev group, only one artist still alive, I feel it is time to make my input. But it is hard to find the references of that time in USSR. I have all the books I gave to the editors for the references, but some books are with ISBN which is hard to find on Internet, but some I found have OCLC at least. Another problem, the references I submitted to your editors are some in English, some in Russian, therefore who does not know Russian, can easily reject the references. The article about the International exhibition ("Dialogues"), 2013, is by Nikita Eliseev, where he described his vision about the exhibition, including the "School of Sidlin", and where he described my painting. What was wrong with it? Why it is not notability, where several hundred art works were included in this International exhibition, and only several artists names in his article? The problem was since your editors were busy, even though I asked for help the Teahouse several times, I started put in the article several references (in English and Russian), so it would be easier for the editors to see the references.
Even some editors, DGG, or Bgwhite, or in Teahouse (arch. #484) talked not about notability but about Improvement the article, which should not be put into Delete category. Also, I have mentioned that my art works in 5 museums in their permanent collection, but the museums don't have the web sites to show you about theie art collections. I have the official documents about it, but you don't accept the emails. I checked another's artists web site, for example, Alek Rappoport, and they have mentioned only the list of museums, not direct reference to the record. You can't find it anywhere. So why the names of museums with my art works were deleted? Also, I'm a Member of the Artist Trade Union of Russia, and in 2011, they put me in another category as International Artists Rating, in their Reference book (http://www.10000best.com/be2-20.htm) of Artists Trade Union of Russia, listed 10,000 best world artists of XVIII-XXI centuries. Why this reference was deleted? Also, it was mentioned in Filmography my works as the Artist/Costume Designer. The director (Alexei German) received the Award for 3 films, including the film "Twenty Days without war", where I worked. If the actor receives any award, it is his award, but if the film received award, all crew worked on the film, is awarded. By the way, I mentioned also, that after my emigration from USSR, my name was deleted from the titles of the films, but restored after falling of Soviet Union, 1991. I included also references in Filmography (in imdb.com, in English, and http://www.kinopoisk.ru/name/2016607/ in Russian, where also not all my films included. For example, I worked on 2 films with DEFA (German Film studio), and after Falling WALL in Berlin, all the records were lost, as they answered on my email to Germany. Soooooo, this is my short story. I hope, you will look on the article, which was written by your editor (Ymblanter), for which I appreciate, with my some input of the references to make the editing more easier, and not from delete/reject the article attitude, but from helping to improve it. Thanks in advance.Toreeva (talk) 16:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I hope every editor has independent opinion about the article and its content. I'm not only Russian Artist, I'm also American Artist. And Joseph2302, please stop harassing me and follow everywhere demanding the deletion of the article and 5 drawings I copyrighted and don't have any problem with the submission to wiki. The article was not salted. It was the couple of pages before, and now has just one sentence. Where is the bio or promotional content? Non sense. All the info about my art work, paintings, drawings, my written and illustrated children books, which now in the permanent collection in the different museums, are deleted. I don't know you, your motives, but your action is definitely not in a good faith, and does not make the good face for the Wikipedia.Toreeva (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What we need are publications that tell something of substance about the person. Even information that she belongs to certain school can be found only on obscure websites. Was anything about this person published in newspapers, journals or books? When and where she was born? Is she considered an outstanding/good/notable artist? Did she receive any honors? What she is known for? All of that should be documented in publications in newspapers, journals, books, reliable news websites, etc. For example, working on films is great, but this is not a good source because it tells nothing. Do you have any publications telling why work by this artist in these movies was important? I do not see anything so far. If there is something, could you please give the references/links below? Simply having having a list of her works like here is not enough. We need publications about her to establish notability. Thank you, My very best wishes (talk) 03:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(OK, I found a sufficient number of secondary sources about this personMy very best wishes (talk) 18:49, 7 June 2016 (UTC))[reply]
Comment. I think she actually satisfy WP:Artist - #3 ("The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work"). Was her role in these books and films "major"? Yes, because her contribution was necessary. No secondary sources about the person are required in such cases per guidelines. My very best wishes (talk) 17:14, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looking through both the sources and conversations, I find that I agree with Joseph2302. I do not speak Russian but this certainly does appear to be a promotional autobiography. I'm not sure a redirect to Soviet Nonconformist Art#School of Sidlin is required, but it costs nothing and is probably the best course to follow. The only problem is that the subject may decide to turn the redirect page back into an article. If this IS turned into a redirect - rather than being salted again - eyes should remain on the redirect page to make sure it STAYS a redirect page. David in DC (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd accept a redirect if and only if the redirect was fully protected, so no-one could revert back to the article. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
TNT delete. When Ymblanter has read the sources in the original language, I hesitate to disagree with his assessment that the subject qualifies for WP:BIO. However, everyone's in agreement that the entire history of this article is junk. Let's just get rid of the current mess but allow someone else to create an article on this notable person. Nyttend (talk) 21:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nyttend, this is what I asked from the beginning that someone would help with the editing. The problem is that some of the references are in Russian, some in English. And also the editor needs to understand the Art in Russia, specifically the ""underground" art of the Soviet Nonconformist movement, that you can't find in newspapers since it was an Unofficial art, before the falling of Soviet Union in 1991. As Plato said: "A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers".
1) If you can look into deleted the Draft:Natalia Toreeva, there is more explanation why the "School of Sidlin" is important for the history of Russian art. In short, O. Sidlin was the student of the Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and Kazimir Malevich, which is the beginning of the Nonconformist Art in Russia (and in the World) in 1920-1930e. Same is true for another "Sterligov" artists group. And as someone told that the webs were used are not real one, it is not true: http://www.encspb.ru/object/280472958?lc=ru (Toreeva's name in Russian there: Н. Тореева). This web (and other webs with www.encspb.ru) is created by the St. Petersburg Encyclopedia under the Committee of Culture of St. Petersburg, the government art page. It is the most reliable source. In this Draft 32 references were included, so if the editing can be made, there are enough ref. to select. In the current article, only 10 references are left after the deletion.
2) In that Draft, the diff. sections were created, which I followed the articles of other our artists.
For example, a) Education. I have 2 Masters Degrees. MA in Arts (in Russia), and MS in Computer Science (in USA). I retired as the system analyst with 5 Patents in IT company, where I worked. One of your editor told me that I have to clean up the article since there enough notability, but Patents info definitely I should keep. My Education section was deleted.
b) Filmography, which also was deleted. I worked on "Lenfilm" film studio as the Artist/Costume Designer. As I mentioned there, our director (Aleksei Yuryevich German) was top 5 directors on WWII, and who received several Awards for his films, including "Twenty Days Without War", where I worked. I remember, when we celebrated it, our scenarist, famous Russian poet, Konstantin Simonov, came to me and gave me a strong handshaking for my work on the film. I still remember his Russian handshake. But you can't read about this film and awards in any newspaper of that time, since this film was put on the shelf and was released only in 1987, due to the difference of the vision on WWII in this film in comparison with the Soviet Union political view. But it does not mean that notability of the Artist's work is not there. You can read about the director and this film in wikipedia. Just for your info: when Stalin died in 1953, at the same day died our world known composer, Prokofiev. But his death info were not included in any newspaper. But it does not mean that his name does not have notability.
c) I'm the Member of Art Union of Russia, and in 2011, they included me in their Reference book as the 10,000 best world artists of XVIII-XXI centuries. It is governed by the Artists Union of Russia, reliable source as well. http://www.100000best.com/be2-20.htm This also was deleted.
d) Museums: My artwork in the permanent collection of 5 museums. 3 museums in Russia, and 2 museums in USA. Why in another artists articles they just mentioned the names of the museums without the direct references, which does not exist, but you deleted this section from my article?
e) Publications: I wrote and illustrated 3 children's books that are now in the museum in Russia. The editor's page: http://sbpra.com/NataliaGToreeva/ I also included other books with my illustrations, including the "Christmas in Russia" and "Twenty Faces of Boris Pasternak, noble poet of Russia, who was not permitted to receive the Award by the government. These books illustrations are also in museum in St. Petersburg. I have the official documents, but you don't accept the emails to prove that my art work in museums.
f) In 1981, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987: Natalia G. Toreeva's drawings were included in the New York Russian language newspapers and journals:
"Novy Svet" ("New World"): issues #91, #92, 1981; Satirical journal "Petooch" ("Rooster"): issue 4, 1983;
"Novoe Russkoe Slovo" ("New Russian Word"): the articles by L. Parkhomov "Creative work of Natalia Toreeva", 1985, "The World of Natalia Toreeva", about her "Solo" exhibition in the Stuart Art Center Gallery in Chicago, 1986;
"Almanac Panorama": issue 246,1986; article the "Concert for Voice with Accent", issue 318, 1987, New York, USA. I deleted this section since I have the originals of these newspapers/journal, but not references to them. That's why I asked for help if someone from editor can access to these data. No response.
3) I don't include here the webs to the books publishing and exhibitions, they are in the articles and could be used for the appropriate selection.
So, please review your decision about the article with the good faith. This is my quote I teach my children, and seems related to this topics: "You don't make me low (since I earned my place in history), but you do low of yourself." And I would like to end it with Plato's quote "Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance". I'm opened for any help in improvement of the article. Thanks for your time.Toreeva (talk) 00:32, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Ymblanter makes a convincing argument that it is possible to write an article on this person, using sufficient sources in Russian, but Nyttend also makes a valid point that we won't be able to get a neutral article out of this without a completely independent third party being involved. However, I think the uber-small stub we now have is a good enough starting point. I am just getting comfortable with parsing Cryllic in my head, let alone any actual Russian, and I don't really have enough grasp on artist biographies to be able to sit down and improve the article into something that will stick. The only possible other option I can do is sound the "experienced female BLP writer alarm" and ping @Rosiestep: and @SusunW: and see if they can work some magic.
Looking at Toreeva's comments above, I would advise the following - having academic qualifications does not give you a free pass to notability, you need to have something equivalent to a tenured position at a university, which means you will get regular academic publications produced under your name. I'm happy to AGF that publishing books might be suitable if they have been easily documented as best sellers or have achieved widespread critical acclaim in national publications. The Member of Art Union of Russia reference book might be important, but it would depend on how many other names are mentioned in the book. If it's the art equivalent of Burke's Peerage or Who's Who, it's suitable, if it lists just about anyone in a union (broadly equivalent to the Equity register), it's not really unique enough to consider. The important point to remember in a biographical article is - what will people be saying about you in 100 years' time? That's what we're aiming to document. Ritchie333(talk)(cont) 14:05, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I was one of the editors who tried working on this article after a post at WP:COIN. I trust Ymblanter's judgement that the subject is notable. I can fully understand that the press at that time was probably controlled by the Soviet government which explains a lack of sources. However, I gave up on the article after being constantly requested to add references to a non-notable local writers' group. Personally I think the stub right now seems OK. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep minus cruft Can stay a stub until better sources can be added. Individual appears to pass notability, just needs to not edit her own article. COI ≠ a notability problem, just a sourcing and tone problem. Montanabw(talk) 05:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I can include the edition of references into Talk section of this article, as My very best wishes suggested, so the editors can select whatever appropriate to choose for the article. I will add the newspapers in New York, year and number of publications hoping that someone has approach to their archive. I will not add much to overflow the input, just small input. Regarding the Member of Art Union: they have the explanation in their web, but in short: To get into the Artists Union of Russia the artist should be selected into their 7 categories. The number of artists in the Union of Russia is about 50,000, and is different for each year. But to be selected into International "10,000 best world artists of XVIII-XXI centuries" category, they have only selected 10,000 artists that have upper 1-3 category. For example, Picasso = category 1, etc. http://www.10000best.com/be2-20.htm to see the Reference book. They don't put the category number here (only for galleries/museums), but they sent an official document to the artist. You can use this reference for whatever artist you want to verify. As an example, in our "School of Sidlin", our teacher, O. Sidlin=2 category, and only 4 of us (Y. Nashivochnikov, A. Basin, I. Ivanov, and N. Toreeva), are included in this Rating category (=3 category). So, for just Members of Artists Union = up to 7, for International Rating = upper 3 categories. This info is not for promotional purpose, but for quick understanding how their system of selection is built. Also, just for your info, I submitted 5 drawings, and they pass the copyright info by your editors. But I will not included all 5 into the talk page, since if only one should be selected, I prefer to have this computer graphics (1992) what you have now in the article, because it best reflects the falling of USSR (in 1991), as you can see it as the "grinding machine" and importance dates of the Soviet system there. I will let you know, when I will finish my input into the talk page. Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 13:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Artist trade Union of Russia is a personal pet project of Sergey Zagrayevsky who is not really notable as artist or art historian. I think in Russian Wikipedia they at some point decided it is on the level of spam.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:03, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Osolina is not secretary, she is the Staff editor, they both have PhD, and he is awarded prof. in Arts. This is the web, but the the Artists Union itself is an official organization supported by government.

Indeed, she was just his student [5], and both articles were written in the COI. Obviously, as a COI editor yourself, you do not see a problem in COI editing, but I hope other users do.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:04, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... We also have United Art Rating (i.e. the source under discussion) and this deletion discussion. Actually, Zagraevsky looks to me as someone highly notable. There was even a little poem by Bulat Okudzhava about him [6]. Obviously, there is an article about him on ruwiki as well - ru:Заграевский, Сергей Вольфгангович. All these pages also exist on ruwiki and look sufficiently well-sourced to me, although something may need be fixed My very best wishes (talk) 15:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am not suggesting to delete the article on Zagrayevsky (the guy invested a lot of time to create some press about him), just merely note that his private opinion on notability (expressed as the United Art Rating) is not exactly eqauivalent to our WP:GNG.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:44, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus may change. I am not sure this is just his private opinion, but even if it is, this can be quoted as an opinion of an expert. My very best wishes (talk) 15:48, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This Artists Trade Union of Russia includes the artists from Russian Empire, USSR, artists from the former Soviet Union, and emigration, and is not HIS private organization. It is not based on volunteers and they have the normal salaries from the government. If each city has its own Artists Union, it is bigger, since it covers all Russia, and not only one city. And all art experts, museums, galleries are looking into it where category of the artist (#1..2..7) is defined. I'm not going to convince on it though, everyone has own opinion. Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 16:39, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I had some doubts, but after checking sources including several secondary RS about the person, I think she satisfies not only WP:Artist (see her suggestions to improve the page here that show her notability as an artist), but also our general notability guidelines. My very best wishes (talk) 16:53, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete at best for and also inviting DGG who works at these subject AFDs, because there's nothing clarifying these "art museums" and thus nothing to immediately pin exactness of information. Overall, there's simply nothing else convincing also including for the applicable notability so, with this, delete until someone can actually find better and subsequently improve. SwisterTwistertalk 07:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I notice there is no article for her in the ruWP, so I have my doubts, because they are very inclusive for Russian artists and writers and academics. the real question is what permanent collections her work is in: if they are major museums, she's notable. Without actual evidence of this , a delete is inevitable. DGG ( talk ) 08:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, she satisfy WP:Artist #3 and general notability guidelines as someone who significantly contributed in creation of movies, a leading fashion designer (as reflected in a secondary source about her), an author and illustrator of books and an artist who had numerous exhibitons of her works. I think she also satisfies WP:Artist #4b ("the person's works have been a substantial part of a significant exhibition"). There is no requirement for an artist to have his/her work be present permanently in major museums. An artist can be notable as an illustrator (see List of illustrators, for example). And the argument about ruwiki is not valid. One could provide a very long list of pages about notable people, including Russians (and this artist is actually "Russia/US") that have pages about them here, but not on ruwiki.My very best wishes (talk) 14:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
DGG, you are who deleted my Draft, and you are who told me that I need just clean up the text, and question isn't in notability. I need to omit minor material, there will be sufficient without it. So I followed your advice, from 10 pages of Draft, now it 1 page. I have the list of museums, and I have the official documents about the art work in their collection, but you don't accept the emails. And why in the articles of another artists, they just have the list of the museums, where their work are, and those articles were accepted? Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And I don't want to be part of ruWP, that's why I'm not there. And that's why many artists of 1970s-1980s were EMIGRATED. When I told my children I have a blue blood, they asked me to prove it. There is no prove, because after the revolution, all church records were destroyed, but it does not mean your heritage is destroyed. Many aristocrats after revolution went to France, and to survive worked as the taxi drivers. Did they lose their notability? MY answer is NO. The editors answer could be different. When we made a film about WWII with DEFA German film studio, I asked the policeman who stayed at the door in the church, since all churches were closed after the revolution, if I can see inside for our film. He looked around and said "Only 5 minutes". So it was my first visit to the church, and it was shaking for me, how beautiful was inside..You have to understand the system from the political, historical, and art point of view to judge the artists.. Even the collectors of unofficial art could lose their life, so there are no record about the collections. The less records you have, the better. After my emigration, my name was deleted in the film "Twenty Days Without War" (I did not check other my films since I did not have access to see them), but re-installed after the falling of Soviet Union. I'm happy that after the falling of Soviet Union in 1991, the interest on unofficial art of that time is growing on the West, and I feel it is my obligation to include info about the art/artists of that time. If your obligation is delete as many articles as possible, I understand it. My another question: to improve the article, can I include the info I just received from the West Chicago Museum. It was the competition for the Banner, and I used the collage that was selected among other artists. The collage and 2 my other collages were on the exhibition in May. This Banner is put on the Main street, and will be there till Sept for the public observation: http://westchicago.org/arts/art-banners-a-creative-focal-point-on-main-street/ Thanks. Toreeva (talk) 15:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to ask, if this input could also improve the article, specifically 2 articles in newspapers?
In 1981, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987: Natalia G. Toreeva's drawings were included in the New York Russian language newspapers and journals:
"Novoe Russkoe Slovo", New Your, USA ("New Russian Word"):
1) The articles by L. Parkhomov "Creative work of Natalia Toreeva", June 12, 1985: Л. Пархомов. "Творчество Наташи Тореевой", "...Можно увести с собой талант и Россию в душе, этому я поверил, глядя на полотна Наташи...";
2) "The World of Natalia Toreeva", about her "Solo" exhibition in the Stuart Art Center Gallery in Chicago, Nov 20, 1986:
Л. Пархомов. "На выставке художницы Наталии Тореевой", article "Мир Наталии Тореевой": "...Чувство искренней радости, соприкосновения с неожиданным и прекрасным долго ещё не оставляет зрителя, которому посчастливилось побывать на персональной выставке Наталии Тореевой в художесткенной галерее Стюарт-центра."
"Almanac Panorama": issue 246,1986 (drawings); issue 318, 1987, New York, USA.
If someone has access to the archive database of these newspapers (I have the originals), you can read all the articles.
Below is my point that is not related to the article, and where I'm not trying to convince anyone. It is just input that could improve some knowledge in Russian history of art and literature. The director of the Washington Museum of Russian Poetry and Music, (who has my number of Posters), that is related specifically to 5 Russian poets of the Silver age (1920s): Marina Tsvetaeva, Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, Nik. Gumilev, and Boris Pasternak. I personally met A.Akhmatova and Olga Berrgoltz, since our house, where I lived with my mother, was only couple of houses from the House of Writers. So my mom often took me there where the poets and writers read their pieces. I did not see B. Pasternak, since he lived in Moscow. Pasternak was submitted to the Nobel but was not permitted to go outside of USSR to receive the Award, only his son later was permitted to receive the award for his father. On the West, Boris Pasternak known only for his "Doctor Zhivago", specifically from the film, but we respected him as the poet. B. Pasternak and Anna Akhmatova survived only by doing the translations, and putting their poetry in the box for the better future. (Mandelstam died in Gulag, N. Gumilev also died, M. Tsvetaeva killed herself). So, I made the Posters for this museum, where these 5 poets are included. Then I got an email from this director asking me some interesting question. He asked me, as an ARTIST, to look into 8 drawings by Marina Tsvetaeva (4 drawings of men and 4 drawings of women), and he sent me them by email. These drawings are in the museum in Moscow, but they don't know if they belong to M. Tsvetaeva, and if so, who are on these drawings. He also asked another artists and art historians to gather their opinion on it too. So I started research on M. Tsvetaeva. I was shocked, when I learned that before her marriage, she was in the lesbian relation with another poet woman, so I started look on her poems and drawings not from what we learned in our schools point of view, but from this shocking news for me. So, I wrote several assays to this director, and he sent some of the points to that museum, but Russia is not ready (yet) to accept M. Tsvetaeva life style and her poetry from this point of view. And I'm sure, the schools still continue to teach students as it was before, and not mentioned at all her life style that could play the biggest part in her poetry. So, my point is that you can't find the records (or ruWP), and if you will find, it is not necessary 100% accurate, because it could depend on the specific time in the history. You need to follow your knowledge on any subject. Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 18:32, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is not I who decide notability, but the community. On re-examining the article, I conclude that it very clearly does not meet the standards for NARTIST. The minor material is apparently all that there is. Either the community will agree with me, or it will not. Furthermore, in looking at the discussion on this page, I conclude that you are too involved with the subject to make it likely that you would succeed in writing an objective article, even if the artist did meet the criteria. DGG ( talk ) 19:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
DGG, I did not get it, that's why I asked someone to help with improvement the article.

Or it does not matter, bec. you have already your opinion? Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 21:03, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No input on the updated article review? Can someone bring the independent editors and not those who were already participated in deletion of the Draft article?

Non-notable politician: Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. All I can find are the election results and some trivial coverage. — JJMC89 (T·C) 09:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being mayor of a small provincial town is well below the threshold of notability for politicians, the article is also just a vanity article for her and her entire family, even including a bunch of family photos and a long list of utterly non-notable family members. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not Facebook! Thomas.W talk 12:20, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
At a population of 50K according to its article, Botolan is just barely large enough that a properly written and well-sourced article about a mayor could be kept under WP:NPOL #3 — but it is not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its mayors just because they exist. But the only sources here are raw tables of election results, with not even one RS present to support so much as a comma of the article's body text — and that's just not enough. Note that I've also already stripped the extensive list of every living relative she has, as WP:BLPNAME explicitly prohibits us from violating people's personal privacy rights by naming their non-notable relatives without proper sourcing for the information. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 15:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Since the article is now no longer fully protected I have removed the totally unsourced "Facebook-material" about her family and her education, and all of the family photos, i.e. basically all of the material that now blocked user Workerwiki, the creator of the article, has been edit-warring over lately to keep in the article... Thomas.W talk 15:31, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 54,000 is not enough to make the mayor of a place default notable. I wish we would consistently apply these standards, there are some cities in the US of this size that have had the articles on their mayors kept at AfD. Hopefully if this results in delete, we can revist some articles on mayors of places in New Jersey and Louisiana that ought to be deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:36, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is only original research. The article cites news reports or blog articles and tries to list them to prove racism in Korea. However, single cases like this happen in every country. A topic like this actually needs mainly journal papers as source with empirical research. Moreover, the article focuses very strongly on cases of individuals: "
Hwang Min-woo, a South Korean dancer, was bullied by his fellow students at his school due to his having a Vietnamese mother." This sentence is there just without any context. However, if the article would list all those individual cases, every racism article on wikipedia would be bigger then the remaining wikipedia. And, as I said before, the full article is original research instead of showing the the current state of racism in Korea from a neutral point of view by citing empirical literature. --Christian140 (talk) 09:16, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: Seems a bit too far-fetched to call the whole article original research. It could be better, but I have seen worse. Ceosad (talk) 17:53, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Parts of the article can be improved, but overall the article is not that bad. The topic is notable in any case.

Move - Move to Ethnic issues in South Korea like all other countries like China, Japan, Taiwan etc. Racism simply isn't a major issue in South Korea because non-Koreans comprise less than 2% of the population. Inevitably, much of it is going to be news reports about petty racist behavior from individuals and that provides a misleading idea about the situation there. Also, all tabloid newspaper articles needs to be removed for this reason. Cleftetus (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:16, 2 June 2016 (UTC) (note: Cleftetus is an indef blocked sock puppet, the master account has a history of nationalistic, pro-Korean edits)[reply]
Done. Article name is now in line with Ethnic issues in China and Ethnic issues in Japan, countries that are also virtually ethnically homogeneous like South Korea. This should help the article focus on the real historically significant issues and not on reporting tabloid newspaper articles about every individual's petty racist behaviors, which is not what Wikipedia is about - WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper.

@GeneralizationsAreBad:, @Random86: User Spacecowboy420 just reverted Cleftetus' edits since he was blocked for being a sockpuppet.

He even removed teh link to this discussion. --Christian140 (talk) 10:07, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're also subject to a sock puppet report, Christian. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:13, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I already saw that and commented on that and I already mentioned before what is wrong with the article on the talk page. Morever, User GAB for example approved on the changed article, which is clearly better. And most users here said the article has problems. The edits by Cleftetus and GAB were improving the article a lot. --Christian140 (talk) 10:16, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly better? Nice to see that you are the final word on what does and does not make an improvement. Who needs consensus, when all we have to do is wait for you to say "it's clearly better"?
It's also nice to see you value the edits of a indef blocked, nationalistic sockpuppet, more than editors who actually try to gain consensus. Good Job, Christian! Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:18, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did nothing than wait here for a consensus. You just removed the link to this discussion here, which is clearly vandalism. You just decided on your behalf that the old version is better instead of discussing it here further. Insteas of removing everything, you could have disagreed here with the changes or at least on the discussion page of the article. --Christian140 (talk) 10:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Christian, let's be specific. Which parts of the indef blocked, nationalist sockpuppet, Ceeftetus' edits did you consider to improve the article a lot? Was it that foreigners all come to Korea, because they are poor and Korea is rich? Was it the content discussing that Koreans all speak English very well, but foreigners can't learn Korean? Was it the content that talked about " People who are poor, uneducated, lazy, smell or have a poor sense of fashion" in regards to foreigners? Or was it the content that talked about lots of foreigners having AIDS/HIV? Which one of those was responsible for "improving the article a lot" ? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To my shame, I have to say that you have a point here. Unfortunately, I looked over the "edited" version only very briefly and it looked already better by just reading the "headlines" and I thought no edit could make it worse. Since user Cleftetus left a comment on my user page, that he reverted the article to the time before the mess started, I believed it in good faith. Yes, here I did something I should not do. I claimed it to be better even without having a closer look into it. I agree. The other version has as many issues as this version and pointing out that the Korean alphabet is easy to learn and takes only one hour is everything but neutral. Besides all the other irrelevant or non neutral statements in the article. Therefore, because feeling so ashamed, I will leave this discussion completely. --Christian140 (talk) 11:24, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been restored to the pre-sock state, and Christian140 apologized for the mistake. I hope that we've resolved this. GABgab 12:14, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, Christian - I reverted to an edit previous to the edits of a confirmed sockpuppet, as per wikipedia guidelines. The link to this discussion being removed was an unfortunate side effect, but no big deal. There was already consensus on that article. Editors worked hard for consensus, while having to deal with numerous sock puppets such as cleftetus. The consensus on this discussion is to KEEP the article. The content has already won consensus. The move never had consensus, and was reverted because it was performed by a sockpuppet. (as well as lacking consensus) Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Seems all good now. I think whatever problems need to be fixed, can be fixed on the article talk page. (and on SPI when the socks return) Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly a relevant, encyclopedic topic. Quite a bit one-sided now, but remaining problems have to be solved by reasonable editing, introduction of additional WP:RS and discussion of controversial aspects on the talk page. However, the introductory sentence is clearly too loud, given it is not sufficiently backed by WP:RS. Please see also my current move request at Talk:Ethnic issues in China#Requested move 4 June 2016. --PanchoS (talk) 20:04, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Korea is unfairly singled out for anti-racism propaganda. Racism exists everywhere but at least there have been no race riots in Korea. The tone of the article is not neutral. Wikipedia is not a social activism and awareness site. It is supposed to be a factual presentation of a topic. Individual stories and articles cannot be used to depict an entire people.

My searches have simply found nothing better at all aside from expected news at News and that's not surprising considering this is only a local shopping area founded within the last 4 years, nothing at all convincing of any independent notability. It's not surprising this was started the month this place opened and that it's been quiet since, symmetrical to my searches also, I would've PROD this too and, also at best, sought deletion sooner.

Searches found several links, which is expected, at News, browsers and WP:INDAFD, but none of it is actually convincing of his own notable article thus I suggest this is could, if needed, redirected to the company after it's deleted; however I also note that's only if needed at best since that may put this vulnerable to restarting. I should also note it may also not be best to leave this open to restarting because this has basically stayed the same and virtually unchanged with no improvements since starting in September 2009 so there's nothing convincing to suggest why we should keep traces of the article with a redirect link. SwisterTwistertalk 07:12, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. He's the founder of the company so a redirect at least seems appropriate. Why would it need to be deleted before it could be redirected to the company? Why couldn't this have been merged/redirected rather than bringing it to AfD? --Michig (talk) 07:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Several things about this, there's nothing for any applicable notability and my searches have found nothing better at all, the fact no one has cared to improve or also add contents to this since the nearly 10 years of existence also shows how it seems perhaps no one notices this article....With this, with there being nothing for any applicable notability, this certainly suggests at deletion material.

The result was delete. SOFTDELETE per relatively low participation herein. Regarding the keep !vote, of note is that criteria at WP:ENT does not guarantee presumed notability. Atop the section of the guideline page, it states that people "are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included."

To help us base our decisions on Wikipedia policy and guidance I'll point to some guidance in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) that lists what does not support notability. The exception list includes the following and more:
press releases, press kits, or similar works;
self-published materials;
any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it;
advertising and marketing materials by, about, or on behalf of the organization;
corporate websites or other websites written, published, or controlled by the organization;
any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly;
other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people.
The sources I've found with a depth of coverage beyond trivial fit one or more of the exceptions I've listed. The UCAN article in particular is almost entirely what the organization is saying about itself. Either by quoting a member or repeating items from the organizations report. Also, while the article is published by UCAN the stated source is SJAPC, a Jesuit organization. Gab4gab (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article subject has received significant coverage at numerous reliable sources WP:RS and therefore passes WP:GNG. Some of the sources cited include, here [21], here [22], and here [23]. The subject has certainly passed the threshold of notability WP:N so the article should be retained at wikipedia. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 01:04, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The references you selected make a good case for non-notability. #1 is make a trivial mention of the organization being one of three that provide support at a immigration detention center. #2 is a fund raising appeal/press kit material produced by the organization. #3 is the UCAN article I discussed above. Articles that reprint material produced by the organization or simply make trivial mention do very little to pass a threshold of notability. Gab4gab (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CommentFouetté rond de jambe en tournant, the sources you provide are all inappropriate in that they are weak or self-published. #2 and #3 are published by related religious organizations, and #1 says literally only "Jesuit Prison Ministry" in a longer list of organizations, which makes it a classic minor mention. Gab4gab's excellent list explaining sources above is informative here. I am all for keeping articles when the sourcing is diverse, separate from the institution and detailed. However this is not the case here. 01:18, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We certainly do not agree on the excellent sources in the article. I stand by my statement and quoting of the sources, and the fact that the article shows notability and passes WP:GNG. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 01:35, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CommentFouetté rond de jambe en tournant< I would usuggest again that you read WP:RS more carefully, as the sources you gave above are all plainly inappropiate or weak.

Comment Again we do not agree. Just because you may see something differently from another person does not mean the other person is wrong. I can say the same thing to you. You need to study WP:RS, because that may help you to understand the policies better. Working collaboratively with other editors means to listen to the viewpoints of other editors, and take their words under consideration. Saying that the other person is wrong every time because you simply disagree with their viewpoint is a poor argument that many administrators will see right through when evaluating AFD discussions. Good day! Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 01:50, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is simply a fact that the references you provided above are weak because of the reasons stated. Anyone can see this by reading the policy. It would be great if you read the policy, that is all I am suggesting.

The importance of the work being done hasn't been questioned. The issue is notability. What's missing is in independent in depth coverage that doesn't use what the organization itself has written as it's source. Gab4gab (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What this case may prove is that the newspapers in Thailand don't survive by reporting on the underside of their society. We have such papers in the North but it cannot be assumed of the South. When the Jesuit Mission UK writes about a mission, one can assume that it checked the accuracy of the report before adopting that mission. When the organization's annual report contains a gallery of photos showing the work it is doing, then unless we have some reason to think they are deceiving us, we can take these photos as objective evidence of their work. Also, when Catholic News Asia shows a picture of this ministry visiting families in Laos, we have a strong secondary source. When the Australian Council of Churches reports on the state-run Flinders University adopting Jesuit Foundation Thailand prison ministry, it lends notability to this organization's work. Also, Bangkok Post is an independent source that confirms JFPM Thailand's involvement in the specific works it claims to be doing. And the Thai government mentions JFPM first among organizations involved in the "victim identification process" and in its progress report. Unless we have reason to question the veracity of an organization, I see no problem with giving credence to very credible stories on its website, backed up by second and third party references showing that is exists and is about what it says it is about.Jzsj (talk) 16:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So he then goes to Paris Junior College, which most people in Texas probably have not heard of. He may turn his career around at some point and be notable, but he is no where near being such now.

Hello,
I wrote this on the article talk page, but repeat it here.
I am new to this process. Today, I have described Organic data entry more in depth. The method has parallels to organic data search, which I have pointed out in the article.
The methodology exists and is in daily use. It is not all new, but in an early stage of usage. One reference in the article is to a patent applications, which proves the methodology existanse.
A key here is that one can use ODE to enter complex data strings from the most simple input devices as SMS/messaging systems. This has caught interest by scientists, and I would expect more references soon from these.
This isn't about the merits of the subject. People are asking a very simple and straightforward question with these tags and notices: Where, outwith Wikipedia, have people, not the subject's inventors, documented it in depth? Where is the knowledge already written down and published by identifiable people with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy? Books. Papers. Articles. And so forth. Please point to them. Everything must be verifiable. Wikipedia is not in the business of documenting the heretofore undocumented. Uncle G (talk) 23:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Norchris: Thanks for working to improve Wikipedia. Just a quick note of clarification. Part of the way Wikipedia is able to function as a collaborative encyclopedia is that we have strict rules about covering only what has been covered already by reliable sources. If books, magazines, high-quality websites, etc. haven't written about it in some depth, it's not fit for Wikipedia yet. The existence of things or a contributor saying it's important just isn't sufficient. If you want to learn more about these policies, which can be a hassle at first but are quite important, see WP:V, WP:NOR, and WP:N. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 05:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the name dropping would be great to provide full detail to a biography of an independently notable person. But in this case it seems to be used to prove notability. The information that could be used to support an actual claim of notability are:

He is ... acting Chair of The New Republicans and 'Renew Australia' Charter
He is the founder and President of the Connected TV Marketing Association
He is ... the founding board member of Studio Australia
The claims relating to instructing barristers is particularly interesting to me, because I see no evidence of a law degree or licence to practice law.

Notability is usually not inherited - however, in a case like Prince George, his ancestry and position in the line of succession ensured that without doing much more than smile, burp and wet nappies he got an article. For the rest of us without inherited titles or the burden of being the children of the POTUS, the notability of relations would only be of encyclopaedic note were we to pass notability ourselves.

No assertion of notability. The only editors are SPAs, so a prod would likely be an automatic failure. The subject is an Italian model whose article is not borne out by third-party sources, but rather is extrapolating statements of professional activity and notability based on pictures in galleries and links to his management agencies and such (WP:TRIVIAL). I removed some blatant copyvio that was sourced to a different source in which it did not appear, but the article is peppered with RS issues, and I decided I'd bring it to AfD rather than effectively blank the article, but it's so unsourceable that that might as well be the case.

Keep. Hmm. Are we saying that Vogue - VOGUE?!? - isn't a reliable source for evidence of notability of fashion or models? It's only one of the most internationally famed fashion magazines in the world. Anmyway, having had a look around, even after filtering out a lot of the clearly useless sources, I see a lot of sources in various languages on him which is evidence of international awareness and notability. Although there's a TON of bumf to filter through, I did find some sources that seem more reliable than usual, such as a piece in IO Donna, a notable Italian magazine: [24], and an extensive piece in what seems to be a well-established online Dutch magazine with editorial team and control. And a model being the subject/focus of a piece in Vogue such as this is a huge deal in fashion and very rare for any but the most noteworthy models. The article is lightweight, but it does go into a little depth about the model and his regime, so I think when taken in conjunction with the other sources, it helps build up evidence of notability.

Reply - The issue is that Vogue is not RS when its coverage is not independent of the subject, which an interview with the subject is clearly not. You even address some of the problem with that last article, where the coverage is "lightweight." WP:RS requires non-trivial coverage independent of the subject, so if everything is "lightweight" or interviews, we end up with a policy-based issue with trying to establish notability, which is my entire basic argument. MSJapan (talk) 04:30, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - On the other hand, we have to consider the nature of the material out there. There is a general tendency to sneer at fashion coverage as trivial and unworthy, particularly by editors who don't care about the subject or dismiss it offhand because it's not seen as weighty or worthy enough. If the Vogue source was the only one out there it certainly wouldn't be good enough, but it can be used to support an argument of general notability in conjunction with the two more substantial articles. Personally, I'm not really fussed about contemporary models, being more interested in designers and creators and general fashion, but from what I can see, I don't see a compelling reason to delete the article. Now if only people would get this invested in getting rid of all those trashy beauty pageant articles about young ladies whose sole claim to notability is usually that they mastered the art of smiling and walking at the same time in high heels and using their bodies to get men to award them prizes. Mabalu (talk) 11:14, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Independent" in the context of notability means having no vested interest in the subject. For example, the official corporate website of a subject definitely has a vested interest in promoting the subject, so we can't expect it to reveal all the negative details on that subject. However, just because an otherwise reputable magazine directly interviews a subject, that in itself does not mean the magazine has a vested interest in the subject. If it still has autonomy over what information it wants to publish, it is still considered independent of the subject. See Wikipedia:Independent sources. Mz7 (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I will accept Vogue as a RS for notability of a model. I don't buy the argument that an interview of the subject is not independent. An interview by a reliable independent source is an effective establishment of notability. Fieari (talk) 01:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - My reasoning on the matter is that an interview is entirely the direct words of the subject, so it can't be independent of the subject, and at best would be a primary source at that point. MSJapan (talk) 03:06, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MSJapan: The reason this doesn't hold water for me is the fact that it was published. A personal blog is non-independant. However, an interview was curated, edited, reviewed, and generally underwent an indepedant review process before being published. Yes, it's the subject's words, but the magazine selected which words of the subject to publish, and the questions were picked by the magazine as well. The entire situation is vastly different from a personal essay, blog, vlog, or whatever that we would not accept as coverage from an independant source. The magazine is not owned, nor controlled by the subject. This makes all the difference. Fieari (talk) 06:14, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - I'm concerned both in terms of how much of a 'puff piece' the current article looks as well as the fact that tabloid-type sources are being brought up. However, I'm more inclined to keep the article then get rid of it, even if it should be reduced significantly in size, given the detailed reporting by both IO Donna and Vogue. I also think that his high placement in various "list of ___" type articles is a matter in his favor. An appropriate article would be considerably different than what we have now, but I think it wouldn't be nothing. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Draft at best instead for now as the article could at best actually be acceptable but we can also certainly wait a better article thus, although I was going to initially only go with Delete, I am willing to Draft if needed instead. SwisterTwistertalk 00:37, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. Weak, because I haven't evaluated all of the sources. I only looked at the one source which is being put forth as the most significant, i.e. the interview in Vogue. Normally, I would agree that Vogue is one of the most important publications in the fashion world, and thus certainly can be a WP:RS. But, the interview cited is just a bunch of softball questions lobbed at the subject, as a starting point for what I assume are carefully crafted responses and a framework on which to hang a bunch of soft-porn shots of abs and pecs. I don't know, maybe that's just how things work in the fashion world, but it doesn't strike me as the kind of sources we're looking for. -- RoySmith(talk) 14:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Started some companies that don't have articles. Occupation "Philantropist" and - according to this article - is an overall great guy. This is a promotional article about a most likely non-notable person. Srittau (talk) 15:04, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not at all suggestive of the needed solid independent notability. SwisterTwistertalk 22:09, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be helpful if I created a page for the company? There are a large number of authoritative sources on the company. I can remove Philanthropist as an occupation and trim that section down if it would help keep the page. I can also add more sources I wanted to keep the sources very close to content in the submission. Internetdotcom (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Internetdotcom:, would you please provide some example sources for notability? I'm not asking that you put them in the article, just please show us a handful of your claimed "large number of authoritative sources" here in the AFD. Thank you, Fieari (talk) 01:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's difficult to do Google searches on this website because Google News indexes it. However, I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources. Its articles get cited in a few books on Google Books, but that's not enough to establish notability. There's also this article from Mena Report archived on Highbeam Research, but it sure looks a lot like a press release to me. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I prodded this before for essentially the same concerns over notability. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:11, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure. If there are more citable sources about WhatCulture.com then deletion is not needed, but since they are opening a pro wrestling promotion with weekly shows in two weeks time which may meet the Notability criteria, this AfD discussion might get ugly. However, even if there's still no citable web coverage of the website after three weeks of their pro wrestling shows, then I don't mind this article getting deleted.

Delete - Entirely consists of Original Research. If this was published in a scientific journal, information from it could be added to the CECS article, but this is not the place to publish it, and even if it was published, it wouldn't rate a Wikipedia article in and of itself. It would be a source, not be something other sources write about. Fieari (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable watercolour artist. According to a previous PROD attempt "Watercolour society she belongs to can be joined by anyone for $35". The references do nothing to demonstrate notability. Google search suggests that she is very far from being the most notable person of her name. I'm not seeing anything relevant in Google News for a search on "Carol Mann", watercolor.

Keep My one search on google certainly did not find nothing. In the first three minutes on google I found Carole Mann and articles showing two awards she had won for her paintings. First, she won
the Sallie T. Griffin Memorial award for her work, "Treasured Tulips" in 2013 at the juried WSNC 68th Annual Exhibition in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. See here: [25]. Also, Mann was awarded the East Carolina Wildfowl Guild Award for the her entry showing North Carolina wildlife, entitled Four Afloat in 2015 at the 51st Annual Fine Arts show at the Arts of the Pamlico gallery. See here: [26] The artist is clearly notable for having won at least two awards that I found in the first three minutes of searching google. I have added these two awards to the article. It is most probable that the nominator did not observe WP:BEFORE Plus the first participants in this AFD discussion say #1 just seven minutes after nominator "Searches come up with nothing" and #2 blindly agrees with #1. Astonishing really. This article subject does pass WP:GNG if you do a proper search. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 03:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 1. Member of watercolour society that anyone can join for $35 USD. 2. Recipient of non-notable award run by the society anyone can join. 3. No mention in the real professional art world. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 05:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Observation This is an unrealistic requirement. If the fact that someone's work is not as expensive as Richter's were ever to become a standard by which we decide if an artist is notable, wikipedia would have to AfD all living European artists, except for Richter, since Richter's work appears to be the most expensive of any living European artist. Mduvekot (talk) 12:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Mduvekot.. that was humour. The point: notable artists are not generally offering custom original artwork for $150-300. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 07:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. trivial awards; notices of such awards do not serve to show notability DGG ( talk ) 05:24, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I also concur there's nothing particularly convincing from the information and sources to actually suggest the needed notability here. SwisterTwistertalk 06:20, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Keep': Appears to be notable at a state level, adequate third-party recognition. I also agree with Mduvekot that the price of individual pieces of art from a living artist is not a terribly useful standard. Awards and news coverage helps establish GNG and here I think it's met. Montanabw(talk) 05:03, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment@Montanabw: It is entirely reasonable to conclude that if an artist is selling custom paintings of their work for $150 to $300, as this one is, they are not a notable artist. Notable artists have demand for their work, which generates higher prices than the bargain basement price of $150-$300... for a custom work. One cannot determine a tipping point for price/notability, but it is undoubtedly a lot higher than $150-300. More importantly, this artist has not been validated by any siginificant independent external source (e.g. museums, critical reviews outside of small-town newspapers, art journals, collections, siginificant contribtion to the field of art etc.) as is required in WP:CREATIVE. This is an entirely non-notable artist, as anyone with professional experience in the artistic field would tell you in about half a second.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
