I cannot even load 2 of the 3 sources, but the one I can is again, not particularly good. Does not seem to meet WP:GNG IMHO. Having opened the other 2 sources (they just load very slowly), they do seem to mention and define the concept.

• Delete as another noticeable example of a new company publishing or republishing advertising information, wherever that may be, and seeking any means of advertising and focusing with exactly that, the one account is a company employee himself therefore it emphasizes the advertising concerns, regardless of what comments say otherwise. SwisterTwister talk 20:49, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as the author I'm happy to make changes - I was very cautious to keep it objective, but am open to areas where subjectivity may have leaked. There are many companies with far less notability who have had articles last for years, many with highly subjective promotion. In fact, each of the examples given in Piotrus' Op-Ed remains online in the same state cited, despite years passing. I know the logical response is "well, they should be taken down, too" but the fact is that it's not happening. The best that can be done is to adhere closely to objectivity. More than happy to reduce the content or link more sources, but many of those sources are in Dutch... I really do want to play by the rules here and believe the company is as notable or more so than many others in the space. - Little lepidoptera | Say hi here 11:33, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although I know you are the author, saying "companies with far less notability who have had articles last for years" is in fact not a convincing statement because it actually emphasizes why we need to remove such advertisements, not keep and hope to change and improve them if, in actuality, it may not be improvable. The three of us have heavily nominated a lot of these and we will continue, therefore since this one is currently an advertisement, it can be removed.

@SwisterTwister: is there an essay or "WP" page somewhere that explains why this is literally the worst argument ever? --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:00, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is, WP:OSE. SwisterTwister talk 19:01, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, SwisterTwister, and I agree, but I think my point in raising that was unclear (apologies!). I'm not asking for clarification on the reason for nomination; I'm asking for specifics, because I do believe notability can be proven in this case and I don't think my conflict of interest should be the sole reason for dismissal. I would really appreciate examples cited from what is written that highlight the issue. By claiming WP:OSE I am suggesting that others have been successful in defending their articles, and I would like to be as well (following all rules, of course). In order for me to do this, I would like to see what you're seeing in the article (beside my conflict of interest; I understand you can "smell" advertising, but it wasn't my intention to promote the company; if I can identify the odor I'll eliminate the source). Zackmann08: from the article you cited: "it is important to realize that countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged." I don't consider hyperbole an effective argumentation technique ("worst argument ever"). I understand you are adamant about cleaning these up, but please understand I want to play by the rules, not skirt them; that was not my intention in citing WP:OSE (which, by the way, also states: "These 'other stuff exists' arguments can be valid or invalid." - mine was poorly contended, but I think with clarification it is valid; correct me if I'm wrong!). Either way, I do appreciate what you guys are doing and understand I'm the "bad guy" here. Really not trying to be a pain in the %$#@...! It would just be ideal to hear back "here's what you can do" rather than "here's a reason you shouldn't have done what you did" - does that make sense? - Little lepidoptera | Say hi here 07:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I made some further edits and believe I've removed anything that leaked my conflict of interest. As I requested in the above discussion, I would be very happy to receive specific examples which I can then address. So far the Delete comments are primarily based on "I can just tell" which is an impression I also don't want to give... I think it's notable, and I want it to remain here for that reason (in an objective state, of course, which I'm keen to ensure with help). Thanks! Little lepidoptera (talk) 09:55, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the comments are not simply based from "I can tell impressions", the article itself here is still an advertisement because it only focuses with what the company would advertise about itself, which is their services, how to contact them, their business motivations, etc, and see the current article: "information about business services, business activities of applications and advertisers, offices and how to contact them and named mentions of others"; even with a few changes, none of this has established what is needed for a genuinely convincing article. What also involves this is simply the fact this company has only existed for 4 years and is still hoping to establish itself by advertising itself, therefore there's no notability or significance. The sources themselves listed here are still not convincing. As mentioned here, when an article is so bare about this, it's simply not acceptable.

Suburban mayors elected by one-year rotation are not notable (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lambros Tapinos and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Larocca from the same council). Neither are unsuccessful candidates for office. The only other bit of coverage in the article was for speaking at a rally. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The timing of this suggestion for removal stinks, just as Victorian Council elections were pending. In which Ms Ratnam was re-elected. "Suburban Mayor" is offensively minimising - Moreland is not a suburb, but a large area of metropolitan Melbourne. Very sad to see Wikipedia apparently being misused for political purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petercmarshall (talk • contribs) 07:52, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

— Petercmarshall (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep. I would argue that the article meets the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". Of the 11 secondary sources, 6 are substantively about her profile or political career, 1 is a comment piece writen by Ratnam herself in a major media outlet, and 4 are minor articles in which she features. She has also received press coverage at the state level on a number of issues involving Moreland Council not listed in the article. Yes, I read some of the debate about deletion of other councillors and agree that election to suburban council, or as Mayor, does not in itself create notability. What must be weighed in this instance is that this is the first instance in Moreland of a Greens Councillor being elected Mayor, and her ethnic origins from Sri Lanka[2] which have created notability in relation to the Indian community in Australia[3], and in Sri Lanka[4], and Tamil Culture[5], which should definitely add to the basic case of notability.Takver (talk) 15:24, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

additional info to Keep: Ratnam's research in the field of social work has been peer reviewed and published, and she has contributed to at least one academic book. While this level of research and academic publication may not of itself confer academic notability, it adds to her general notability.Takver (talk) 16:20, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: At a Federal level, Australia's Greens have become a significant political force in progressive electorates. Adam Bandt became the first Greens member of the House of Representatives, though there had been several senators prior to him. In this election just gone, the two northern Melbourne electorates of Batman and Wills, which have traditionally been safe ALP seats, both came remarkably close to changing hands to the Greens. The Batman race was particularly close, coming down to just a handful of votes. Ratnam's fight against Peter Singh was not as close, but it was still a remarkable swing, taking a major bite out of what has never been considered a marginal seat and coming within 5% of victory. If the ALP lose Wills or Batman in the next election, it will be an event of major important to Australian political history, but the gains already made are significant in themselves. 49.193.215.212 (talk) 08:22, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Ratnam is not a normal mayor. She has received international recognition and is extremely popular in her area - at current counts, she has more than double the number of votes she needs to win. She is also notable as one of the first mayors from the Greens, which is a notable achievement. And this isn't even considering her status as a researcher.

     The article notes:

     A MIGRANT whose family fled Sri Lankan riots for a better life has been elected Moreland’s first Greens mayor.

     South Ward councillor Samantha Ratnam won the mayoral vote 6-5 over Labor candidate Cr Lita Gillies, bringing an end to the ALP’s stranglehold on the mayorship.

     Cr Ratnam had been unsuccessful in the previous two mayoral votes, but secured the vote of independent councillor Helen Davidson, who had backed Labor candidates in previous mayoral votes.

     ...

     The ascension to mayor has capped an incredible personal journey for Cr Ratnam, who arrived in Australia with her family in 1989 having fled war-torn Sri Lanka and spent time in Europe and Canada.

     Aged 6 at the time, Cr Ratnam said she remembered the 1983 riots in Colombo that gave rise to the country’s 30-year internal war, including her family being split as they took refuge when Sinhalese Sri Lankans burnt Tamil Sri Lankans’ homes.

     ...

     Her family left Sri Lanka in 1987 and Cr Ratnam said it wasn’t until she moved to Brunswick seven years ago that she felt at home.

     She said her experiences fuelled her interest in social work and motivated her to take the program manager position at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

  2. Kallivayalil, Tanu (2014-04-24). "Taking A Stand". The Indian Sun. Archived from the original on 2016-10-24. Retrieved 2016-10-24.

     The article notes:

     Councillor Samatha Ratnam recently inaugurated the Recognize campaign in Coburg, Melbourne. It is a project funded by Reconciliation Australia and Moreland City Council. She called on those gathered to “arm themselves with information” and begin conversations with friends, family as well as unlikely people.

     ...

     Thus she edged her way to politics. First joining Labor and then moving to the Greens. She made her first move to run for a seat in 2010.

     In 2012, her bid for a seat on the Moreland City Council as a Greens candidate was successful and she says that she has found her niche in this position.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Samantha Ratnam to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Cunard (talk) 03:21, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: Ratnam's re-election to Moreland Council achieved significant media coverage due to the high swing (>30%). For instance: Stayner, Guy (2014-04-24).

WP:NSONG states that a song is "have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." Coverage (doesn't have to even be a "significant" amount) on this charted single is enough for an article to be created.

Also, regarding your remark about the "MTV article that doesn't say anything about the song", I'm not sure if you have read the article. It talks about the song's music video, which is an integral part to include in the article. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 05:20, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, coverage needs to be significant. All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.^WP:NMUSIC Many of those sources are trivial. Examples: AllMusic is a database entry; The Source is trivial; grammy.com is just a mention; Vibe is a mere announcement. I did read the MTV article. It talks about the video, not the song itself. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the case is, it's still received significant coverage - I don't really get why you're targeting this article to be deleted even though there's plenty of other articles out there that haven't charted at all with minimal to no coverage whatsoever. And, once again, articles on the music video of the song still talk about the song itself -> adding on to the "significant coverage" that the song has received. Have you not realized that almost all good/featured song articles with music videos have a section titled "Music video" on them? —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 22:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep -- Here's a sample blurb: "Streeter has written songs for Chris Brown, Ariana Grande and other stars. In 2013, she had a Top 40 hit with "It Won't Stop," a duet with Brown that reached Recording Industry Association of America gold status." ESPN. The song charted multiple times & reached a gold status; in a sea of cruft that are music-related articles on Wikipedia, this one really stands out. Here's a review of the song from Idolator. NPR is discussing this song:

• In the spring of 2013, songwriter and R&B singer Sevyn Streeter released a song called "It Won't Stop," which she's called her "baby." Over the year and change that's followed, the song has sunk into our collective consciousness through commercial radio play and a music video viewed more than 35 million times, and on the recommendation of a growing group of critics and fans. The lyrics are vernacular, warm, unpretentious, while the performance demanded by the music is not for the meek. Away from a studio — and air conditioning — in a New Orleans boxing gym, Streeter executed with muscle and grace. link.

From the Billboard above:

• Streeter’s breakthrough record, however, is clearly “It Won’t Stop,” featuring Brown. The lead single from the EP reaches a new peak of No. 9 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and is currently in its fourth consecutive week atop the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart. The infectious track sells 22,000 downloads (up 4%), sending it to a new peak (6-4) on R&B Digital Songs (viewable on billboard.biz). The track has now sold 254,000 since being released.

That's plenty for notability. I've added a few references to the article. It's a clear keep for me. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:38, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The 2016 non-Majors/WGC list is currently: 2016 Players Championship, 2016 BMW PGA Championship, 2016 FedEx Cup Playoffs, 2016 CME Group Tour Championship plus the Olympics (Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's individual, Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's individual). Also worth noting that the FedEx Cup Playoffs pages include the results of the last 10 Tour Championships (2007 to 2016) already. The other issue is whether we need more red-links for tournament pages, unless there is some prospect of filling them in. Even the Players Championship has only 19 pages out of 43. Nigej (talk) 12:03, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Is that list actually defined somewhere or is it just your opinion? Also that there might be red links is IMO not a good argument. --Harthacnut (talk) 18:55, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply The list is at list of Events-related deletion discussions. I wrote this section, but it was based on the accepted (by regular WP:GOLF contributors) list that's evolved over time. Regular WP:GOLF contributors have tended to try to keep the list short but it's expanded a little over the years. The BMW PGA Championship was added a few years ago (as I remember) following a similar debate. With over 300 Professional tournaments each year around the world, over a 100 years of golf to cover and little effort available, it's clear that a limit needs to set somewhere. Interesting information about a particular tournament can easily be added to the tournament page (eg Tour Championship) without creating new articles. I'm actually a fan of red links, especially to golfers, since they help in the creation of new biographies, but link to missing tournaments don't help in this regard.

• Delete Not in the slightest bit notable. It's only "notable incidents" bare little relationship to the route itself.

Not at all. Most of what is in the articles is from self-published sources or primary sources. The history of significant routes could easily be condensed into the main article.Charles (talk) 19:40, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That would be an interesting prospect; it would require some collaboration, but it seems possible, and certainly would stop the problem where every so often a few bus articles are nominated for deletion and the same arguments come up again and again. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:26, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep sufficient coverage in the sources to pass WP:GNG. While Jcc has in my view already successfully refuted the WP:Product argument, just to add a bus route is not just a "product" but among other things an element of public infrastructure.

Above as part of an arguement for deletion it is mentioned that the content could be placed into List of London bus routes, however, that page currently contains a table of bus routes, which whilst sufficient for truly insignificant bus routes, would not offer sufficient coverage of the more important bus routes. London bus routes are well discussed in a variety of books; and normally individual bus routes are discussed in local papers etc. when there are major changes as can be seen in this article. There is a small trickle of bus routes nominated for deletion every-so-often; the main argument of those voting delete are similar every time, thus there should be a large scale deletion nomination articles of such bus articles where there is actually significant community input as opposed to the same editors popping up every time. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:25, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, its all synth. League of Empire Loyalists was a genuine 1950s entity, but has nothing to do with the subject of this article, there were inhabitants of America who decided (for allegiance reasons or for their safety) to move to the still British ruled territories in Canada after the War of Independence, but they have nothing to so with the subject of this article or indeed with League of Empire Loyalists, there was a 1997 Ontario state legislature decision to commemorate that migration because it was an important event in the development of Canada, but it has nothing to do with the subject of this article.

It is not a genuine political standpoint. No such "ideology that the British Empire should be re-established and continued" standpoint exists in reality, which is why the claim that such an ideology exists is unsourced. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Amend What has occurred here is simple - a misunderstanding between two seperate meanings for the same term. The page states two different points in its opening line. I think Imperial continuation is the ideology we will go with for that of the League of Empire Loyalists. For the Canadian situation, is the page on United Empire Loyalists sufficient enough?

Appears to be a promotional article that doesn't sufficiently assert the notability of the subject.

At first glance, this appears to be a very in-depth and extensively-referenced article. However, upon examination, very few of these are to clearly independent third party sources. The vast majority of references are simply links to his material (i.e. videos or upload pages) or to profiles whose provenance is unclear and read strongly like self-penned or PR content.

(One of the few that doesn't come across as this is a blogspot.co.uk article, which I don't consider a reliable reference for notability purposes).

In addition, this article is clearly derived significantly from the Last FM profile "referenced" here with large chunks being almost identical. This pushes things beyond legitimate referencing into copyright violation... assuming that the author (Natasha Pap) *is* an unconnected third party. Otherwise, it might be more a case of someone associated with the subject rehashing their own PR. (I don't know who writes the Last.FM profiles, FWIW).

All articles directly associated with the subject appear to have been created by Natasha Pap who shows no notable activity in any other areas. Perhaps she's genuinely a big fan of the guy or perhaps she works for his record company- I can't tell.

I've nominated this as the main article, but I'd also like people to consider other Natasha Pap-created articles associated with the artist; specifically, these ones.

Hello Mr. Ubcule, i want to ask some questions. First of all i want to let you know that it's my first time writing on Wikipedia and i would like it to be complete and elaborate. I went to Dispero's company ( Music Kitchen) and asked about everything and Mr. Roilidis told me they opened one account ( Dispero Ras Siento) and they uploaded everything I need for my article. After what they upload I tried to correct it to make it better. So my question to you is why are you doing this to me? Is it easier for you to delete my work rather than helping me fix it?

Thank you.

Natasha (talk) 14:49, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Please read the Wikipedia articles on notability and reliable sources. Notability is required for the subject of an article, and can be shown via coverage in reputable and independent third-party sources.

As I've already explained, the problem with your references is that (while there are a lot of them) almost *none* of come from sources that are clearly reliable *and* independent.

For example, the paragraph starting "In 2009 Dispero released two new video clips, while recording his next cd" appears in the Greek.FM profile. Who wrote this? Where did it come from? It's not a reliable source if we don't know. The problem is that almost all your "references" are like this.

Also, you cannot simply copy content from elsewhere verbatim. (Using a reference or source to back up an article is *not* the same as simply copying it). If it's not your article, do you have permission to copy it? If not, it's a copyright violation.

I'm sorry, but I can only judge your article by what I can see here, and unfortunately it comes across as very promotional without demonstrating the notability of the subject.

As the creator, it's your responsibility to demonstrate that the article subject is (at least) notable, not ours. If you can address this issue by providing references that are both reliable and independent for this, and you can explain/justify the material copied from other sources, then your article stands a better chance of being kept.

Ubcule (talk) 18:38, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Natasha Pap: Ubcule is not "doing this to you", his concern is with the article. As it stands, it has many worthless references, to Youtube and to blogs. He also states that it includes copyright violations, though I haven't checked that claim. If you can fix these problems, and supply some valid citations showing that the subject is notable, it should survive the proposal for deletion. But please be aware that Ubcule, and I, and all the editors here, are volunteers. We have no duty to try to fix articles created by others. Maproom (talk) 21:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If someone can provide reliable sources for two of this musician's albums (Hip-Hop Show, ΠΟΣΟ ΛΥΠΑΜΑΙ (Dispero album)) being produced by Universal Music Group, then the subject qualifies easily on WP:NMUSICIAN. As of right now, there is no English language RS I can find to confirm this claim. Perhaps there are Greek sources; unfortunately, Spanish, Portuguese and English are the maximum places I can traverse to on the RS front. If no sources can be provided, a SOFTDELETE may be in order. The current sources in the article are all unreliable. Lourdes 03:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, promotional and non-notable. I would have at least considered speedying this Note I've removed all the links to his YouTube videos Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additional; I've noticed that the referenced article at Greek.FM appears to be almost- if not exactly- the same as the bio article at Last.FM. So one is merely a duplicate of the other (i.e. these aren't two references), it's unclear which is the original, and it's still unclear who wrote either (i.e. can't be taken as a reliable reference).

Also, the Blogspot(!) article referenced is no longer there; an Internet Archive copy does exist.

Just to be clear, this is not a judgement by us on the quality of the guy's music- quite the opposite, our opinion is irrelevant here but we need evidence of notability via reputable publications. There's none here so far, unfortunately.

Ubcule (talk) 10:38, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys, thank you for your opinion and help, these two old cds made by universal and some years after Dispero changed companies and released his work from "music kitchen record". I am searching for evidence from universal but everything changed to "music kitchen". I don't know why is this important because "music kitchen" is an original and legitimate record company. I have the cd in my hands if you want me to take pictures of it and send them to you for examination. Thanks again guys, I'm trying my best. Jimfbleak thank you for your help.

I don't know why is it so difficult for you to understand, i mean with just one visit to Dispero's page or on YouTube you'll find video clips, shows and interviews on tv that can prove it to you.

• Hello Natasha Pap, I am a Ms., not a Mr. That apart, the intention is not to destroy your creation. The intention is to ensure that the widely read Wikipedia has articles that are notable. Might I suggest that you give a read to WP:Notability, WP:BIO and to WP:BLP? That would enable you to understand what kind of articles we have on Wikipedia and what kind of verifiable sourcing we require within them. Please follow the guidelines and policies I have linked to, and you may have your article recreated. You can work on your article in a draft section before moving it to the main space the next time. That way, you can ask my or any other editor's comments on whether the article qualifies on our notability guidelines. Thanks. Lourdes 09:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I can't find anything on news or books or on the internet but I can find it in magazines and newspapers on paper. I am searching for some kind of rules on wikipedia and they say that if a musician has 4 cd/albums or more it's ok to make an article. Ok Lourdes i'm not sure what more to do to prove to you the existance of this musician, so do what you must do and i will continue searching for a complete article to write about this..thanks for your guidance.

• Keep. The article has one terrible source, for sure. But a quick search finds depth of coverage (a BBC article and an interesting "whatever happened to x?" piece). That's already a start towards passing WP:CORP and no doubt a search for offline sources (given the time period) would uncover more. This is exactly the sort of topic that I want to be able to find on Wikipedia: a failed attempt at an Apple Pay-style system that was 10 years too early. There's clearly potential for an encyclopedic article here and I'd be happy to write it. Meatsgains offers the service being dead since 2005 as a reason for deleting it -- we may as well delete Pontiac and Richard Pryor, too then. :) A Train^talk 14:17, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as it's all still advertising and the sheer number of IPs in the history emphasize this, the BBC article is simply advertising what there is to say about the company and its services, something the current article noticeably shows. There is such a sensible deletion if it means its benefits are outweighed by the concerns. My own searches are not finding what we would need to significantly improve this, and so, what's offered is not nearly enough for actual convincing, let alone substance. SwisterTwister talk 20:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:SwisterTwister, how exactly does one advertise for a defunct platform from 11 years ago? Are you hip to some sort of advertising time travel? If I've misunderstood what you've written here (entirely possible) please correct me. A Train^talk 21:25, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused how the BBC article is advertising. I do not see a sponsored notice on it and it is written by a member of its staff writers, not a contributor. Also, "there is such a sensible deletion if it means its benefits are outweighed by the concerns" does not make sense to me. Can you clarify? --CNMall41 (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The BBC article alone with this one from The Register show in-depth coverage.

There are also two books that talk about the subject - [6] & [7]. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Some source examples to qualify my !vote include: The Guardian, BBC News, Taipei Times, The Register, The Register, Electronic Commerce, The New Legal Framework for E-Commerce in Europe, Corporate and Social Transformation of Money and Banking, Computer Weekly, Gigaom, IBM. Whether or not a company or consortium is active or defunct is not associated with notability. See WP:DEFUNCTS for more information about this notion. Also, the article does not have a promotional tone. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:55, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOT due to no apparent lasting notability or impact; a defunct initiative with passing mentions in the press. For example, one of the article linked above states:

• By 2005 that [Simpay] had morphed into PayForIt, for UK operators only but with similar aspirations, and a similar lack of success. A decade later, mobile network operators are still being cut out of the payment loop, but not for lack of trying.

This tells us that this was not a significant entity, and I don't see coverage that meets the notability requirements for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:56, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Simpay passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline per the significant coverage provided by Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs). Simpay has received sustained coverage. This article from The Register was published in 2003, this article from The Guardian was published in 2004, this article from the BBC and this article from The Register was published in 2005. Per Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is not temporary and WP:DEFUNCT, that Simpay is defunct does not make it non-notable.

• Pining Meatsgains (talk · contribs). What are your thoughts about the sources provided after your comment? Cunard (talk) 05:56, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - The Delete comments above have cared to better analysis the sources and have cared to mention and quote the concerns in those articles, regardless of publication name, and in this, the fact they are all simply interviewed company quotes and republishing of company finances or other company information, hence it's not notable, convincing or substantial. When we start taking such republished PR as coverage, we're completely damned as an encyclopedia.

Also, it is not sustained coverage if it's simply once again publishing company quotes and finances, because only the company would know and therefore advertise it. None of that makes it independent regardless of who published it or when. When there's literally nothing else but this to suggest as sourcing, it suggests the mere bareness. With this, WP:GNG means nothing if it means removing an advertisement in which WP:SPAM and WP:NOT apply. For example simply take Simpay planned....Simply chose....The founders started work....was founded with a goal....[so and so] then joined them]....Simpay started operations.... [To begin the article], the company....posted the announcement....The company is different because....The company promises it will....Simpay thinks....Simpay has expressed an interest.... and that's simply a minor portion of this, therefore if that's literally the best there is to add in an article and its sources, it shows the mere bareness. The quotes here alone show the either complete bareness of company-published words or the thin cover of rephrasing.

As it is, trivial PR and advertising, regardless of wherever published, is explicitly emboldened in Wikipedia policy to be unacceptable, regardless of anything. When we start becoming a PR business listing for every single company who wants an article, we're damned. As it is, there's been damages enough so we mustn't take things so lightly given the stakes. As it is, the fact of simply repeating the same "news" articles simply shows the emphasized bareness.

Also, importantly to note, the international articles all something in common and that's the mere starting of everything of "The company said" or "The company says" every single time", this is an automatic suggestion that the information was merely rehashed from company PR and its advertising, especially considering that's where said PR advertising originates, hence the company is simply republishing its own words into whatever publication it pleases in return of advertising. That alone, together with WP:SPAM and WP:NOT, is enough to delete, regardless of anything else. SwisterTwister talk 06:13, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – The basic name of this company may make source searching difficult. I have found the following source below, which provides in-depth coverage. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:06, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Hurley, James (February 22, 2011). "Is the time right for a costly expansion at Mobile Fun?". The Telegraph. Retrieved October 15, 2016.

It's an interview with their exec., published in a section called "Business Club", which is a newsletter/blog that one can become a "member" of. It's an advertorial. I think its time we stoped counting interviews with the ceo as evidence for notability. DGG ( talk ) 15:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG: It's often standard practice for reporters for reliable news sources to actually speak with people involved in the companies they report upon. It would be biased for them not to. The Telegraph article example I posted above has a decent amount of background coverage about the company. Also "joining" The Telegraph's Business Club only means that those that "join" will receive a newsletter from The Telegraph (see this link). It does not appear at all that anyone can write anything and The Telegraph will automatically publish it, just from joining to receive a newsletter. Also per this source, the author of The Telegraph article, James Hurley, was an editor for both of The Telegraph newspapers for over three years, and when comparing the dates of these respective articles, it appears quite likely that Hurley was an editor at the time the source I provided above was published. Also, by referring to the article as an advertorial, you imply that the Mobile Fun paid The Telegraph to publish the article. However, such assertions are best proven with actual evidence. For example, the article does not state anywhere "paid content", "paid advertisement", or the like. Actual advertorials often have such types of "paid content" disclaimers, in order to maintain journalistic objectivity. No offense, but relative to my research about the source and author, I find the statement "it's an advertorial" to be unconvincing, particularly relative to the definition of what an advertorial actually comprises. I'm also skeptical of the notion that The Telegraph was compensated by the company to publish the article. I may not volunteer more of my time to further research this company, so perhaps the article will simply be deleted regardless of source availability, since it's described in part as promotional.

not all coi involves money. I'd suspect some is quid pro quo journalism. You give me something interesting, and I print it as you would like it. Just an hypothesis, and we can make many. I judge by the content, which I can actually see. One of the dangers of WP is the uncritical acceptance of sources. Material worded like advertising is intrinsically unreliable, no matter where it occurs.

Does not meet notability requirements WP:MUSBIO Maineartists (talk) 11:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Subject and content achievements (2) do not meet notability requirements. Lede: "considered as a "very good specialist of ragtime boogie" is not worthy of inclusion based on verbiage alone, where others in the field are "recognized" and "leading". Cited reference does not claim "national treasure" in its source [8]. Furthermore, simply being called a "national treasure" by an interviewer, does not warrant inclusion on WP. Finally, the claim by Penn State neuroscientist Kerstin Bettermann is a bit over the top in that any musician of standing and quality has the ability to focus attention in more than one generalized area of musical thought: i.e. a soloist performing a concerto and leading an orchestra at the same time. An organist who plays 2 consoles and a pedal board while conducting a choir with verbal commands. A street musician who plays multiple instruments and rhythms with his body. Even a simple bar pianist who is playing tunes while carrying on a conversation and joking with patrons at a restaurant. This is not worthy of inclusion on WP. It is standard practice in the music world.Maineartists (talk) 11:56, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Good for him for getting into the Library of Congress, but I cannot see notability here. If he's a concert pianist, where are the reviews? If a ragtime pianist, ditto? "He can play technically challenging pieces of music on demand while carrying on a conversation and cracking jokes." So could Dudley Moore, but that's not what makes him notable. So could a retired professional French horn player I know, and so could his colleagues. (He once told me a story of the day when the principal bassoonist in one of the top Dutch orchestras made such a good joke about the conductor that it was difficult to maintain concentration; but being pros, they managed it.)

It does not support the claim. There needs to be a better source given if he is to be deemed notable. Regarding the list of references provided: they do not meet WP:BASIC since all cite direct interviews with the subject for the original 2 claims to notability. For as much as the subject states in his interviews: "travels the world playing for kings and presidents and heads of state", “is a Musical Ambassador”, "considered to be the best ragtime/boogie-woogie pianist in the world", one would think there would be more written about him separate and non-related directly. Press releases announcing an upcoming concert do not provide for reliable resources of notability. Maineartists (talk) 15:33, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Struck/modified part of my !vote above. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:15, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – I still feel that the subject meets WP:BASIC per the bylined news articles in Keyboard, Flint Journal, The County Press and the Radiolab source. It is standard journalistic practice to speak with subjects; it would be biased for reporters not to. These articles have some quotes to varying degrees, but also contain non-interview content. Furthermore, ragtime is not exactly a popular genre in contemporary times, so it makes sense for the reporters to have spoken with the man about his interest and work in this fading genre. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:28, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Another option would be to merge the article to Ragtime § Ragtime revivals. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:34, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I wish to make it known that I have no interest in this subject either way. I actually had never heard of him before I stumbled accidentally on his WP page. I am actually trying with great attention to find any source that could be reliable enough that I could cite in order to keep this page and improve upon it. But unfortunately, no matter what avenue I travel, it always leads back to the same source: the subject himself and self-proclamation. I'm not doubting the Library of Congress statement, but without a secondary source that shows it as a transcribed or audio source, all we have is a plethora of relayed information from the subject by way of newspaper articles and press releases announcing concerts. The only other claim is the study by Kerstin Bettermann. The 4 pieces are referred to as orchestral "symphonies" -- when in fact, two of them aren't even symphonies: "Beethoven's Emperor Concerto" and Mendelssohn's "Song Without Words". I understand this is nit-picking, but if this podcast is the only notability claim, the source is far from reliable. All of this aside, for as long as this "greatest ragtime boogie-woogie player in the world" has concertized, I have yet to find any substantial review, write-up, publication, endorsement, or acknowledgement from colleagues or experts in the field. If the interviewers did indeed speak with the man, where is the proof to back up his claims separate from the interviews? Any contributor should require substantial resources outside of an interview with the subject himself or a media / press release that is obviously fed from the internet or the source in order to build a viable article. From what I have discovered, there are contests held annually coast to coast in this genre that award "World's Best", "Champion", etc, and Bob Milne's name is nowhere to be found. Merely merging still does not solve the problem of reliable sources and notable claim. In none of the sources has he been credited with the "Ragtime Revival"; and most of the links are in need of citations. His name is where it is for whatever reason; and until citations are provided, should remain as is. I could not find any to support such claims. I vote: delete.

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Unable to locate secondary sources to support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 03:19, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: I don't understand your reasoning. 90% of the article is based on secondary, independent sources that are clearly defined. These are:

1. The Seattle Times
2. The Olympian
3. Muller, Judy (2011). Emus Loose in Egnar: Big Stories from Small Towns. Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press. ISBN 978-0803230163. LCCN 2010051804. OCLC 679936550.
4. Skagit River Journal of History and Folklore
5. Skagit Valley Herald
6. The two issues of The Concrete Herald that were published after Dwelley stopped editing it (in fact after his death).

Only a very minor portion of the article cites The Concrete Herald when it was edited by Dwelley.

Hence, I do not understand why you cite WP:BASIC. Please explain. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 03:32, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although it is not required, it would be helpful if a link could be provided to these sources. Being able to see and read these secondary sources would assist in determining notability. I did my own search for secondary sources and was not successful. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:00, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Magnolia677:! Thank you for your reply. Let’s see what I can do.

1. The Seattle Times – here are some options:
   1. First of all, modern issues already have links incorporated into references (in the article).
   2. Older issues are available in here. Most academic institutions would have this subscription, so if you don’t want to pay for a subscription, you might want to get to the relevant issues from a college, perhaps? Alternatively, you can search for “Dwelley” or “Concrete Herald”, and this service will show you snippets free of charge. This will allow you crosscheck those snippets against the sources that I cited (at least you can see that this information is actually there).
2. I know of an older website that used to be maintained by Skagit Historical Society, but now it’s just sitting on the net. This site re-quoted (albeit with some editorial remarks and omissions) some other sources that I used. Specifically:
   1. this page quotes from Bourasaw, 2005 (see at the very top.)
   2. this page quotes from Skagit Valley Herald and The Olympian (please search for these titles within the page).
3. Muller 2011 is available on Amazon here If you have an account, you can ‘look inside’, and perhaps get to the right page by searching for Dwelley.
4. Finally, the links to the post-Dwelley issues of 'The Concrete Herald' are available in the article text.

I hope this helps! 凰兰时罗 (talk) 02:20, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I just added a couple of extra sources. BTW, I still do not understand why you (@Magnolia677:) thought that the article fails WP:BASIC. I agree that The Concrete Herald was failing WP:BASIC prior to my recent edits, but I believe that this article never did. The subject was shown to have extensive coverage (his bio, career, accomplishments, etc.) in independent, published, and reliable sources from the start. Look, the only 'dependent' sources in there are the issues of The Concrete Herald that were published when Dwelley was editing it. However, they were used to fully support only one section: 'World War II interruption' and to provide some supporting information for the date of marriage with the second wife and for some details in libel controversy. (Both subjects also have independent sources.). Hence, the coverage by independent sources was shown from the very start, and I strongly believe that this nomination for deletion was a mistake. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 17:01, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All the Seattle Times articles are behind a paywall. I've done my own search for reliable secondary sources and have not been successful. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:16, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: I'm sorry, but I fail to understand this logic. The fact that you cannot immediately access the provided source(s) should not affect WP:BASIC-compliance in any way. I posted some helpful tips above, but I fail to see within current policies anything that justifies the discrimination of paper sources in favor of online sources. On the contrary, I see in the policies a consistent push in favor of the most reliable sources, and for older sources on average, the sources published in paper form are more reliable than sources published in electronic form. Having said that, I admit that I'm new, and I could have overlooked something. Please direct me to the specific policy that you think supports this logic, if there is one. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 17:44, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia677, if you want, you can post the links at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request and see if someone there can get you a PDF or some copy of the source so you can verify the claims. Per WP:PAYWALL, sources do not have to be freely accessible in order to be used in an article. clpo13_(talk) 23:44, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that this might be a question of veracity. I have access to PDFs of Seattle Times, and I can probably share them somehow within the appropriate guidelines. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 00:21, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Looks like that subject meets WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG (I couldn't access offline sources though). Anup [Talk] 04:05, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep due to lifetime achievements, but possibly reduce 30 to 50% so that it looks less like a WP:MEMORIAL. There's excessive intricate detail in the article that (in my view) takes away from the subject's accomplishments. It would also be less likely to be renominated for deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:22, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I just updated the article with additional facts/sources.

• @MBisanz: Frankly, I don't understand why this nomination is still going, because the initial problem has been rectified a long time ago. The current version of the article has all aspects of the life of this person covered by reliable secondary sources:
  1. "The Washington Newspaper" which is a journal that is published by the University of Washington.
  2. "Seattle Times" which is a mainstream newspaper.
• Sources of this quality are listed in WP:SOURCES as reliable, and WP:GNG (a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject) is met without a question.
• If we zero in on WP:JOURNALIST, there is evidence in the article that the person used to be widely cited (item 1) (confirmed by the aforementioned journal and a book published by the University of Nebraska press) and co-created notable Concrete Herald (item 3).
• To summarize, the initial reason is no longer applicable, the person who started the nomination (@Magnolia677:) apparently has nothing more to say, and two other people are in favor of keep. So, how much longer should this deletion process go on? 凰兰时罗 (talk) 02:52, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to article on Michael Hastings (journalist) where her very minor roles can be covered and where her one notable set of actions, being a figure in undermining claims of foul play in her husband's death, can be better covered there. She is not notable on her own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:45, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Not very bothered either way, but... It's pretty rare that I'm watching a news video on YouTube and look up one of the people mentioned in it and find that their Wikipedia article is currently at AFD. Republican who is highly critical of Trump is a fairly interesting factoid, and she came down pretty hard for an "MSNBC political analyst" who apparently usually skews right-of-center. If she still works for them then I imagine if she doesn't already meet GNG or NJOURNALIST she will pretty soon. Whether the article remains or not, I wonder if there is a better option than a redirect to her husband. Cenk described her as "She's a Republican woman, supported Rand Paul earlier" not "She's a Republican woman, was married to Michael Hastings earlier"; they were married for two years, and he died three years ago. If I searched her name after seeing the video I linked and was redirected to an article on someone who died three years earlier I would be a bit confused -- her name only appears four times in the article on her husband. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Agree with Hijiri88 above. Was watching a news video featuring her too, Ben Carson to Reporter, "Turn off her Microphone", "She's Thick Headed" and came here to look her up. I feel certain others will follow. Airwave~enwiki (talk) 10:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above is super-suspicious. My happening to search the name of someone who was at AFD is a coincidence, but it's possible, and I've been making edits to Wikipedia virtually every day for the last two years, where Airwave~enwiki essentially hasn't edited in four years. I also don't know why a "Keep" !vote would be agreeing with my "I don't mind, but a simple redirect wouldn't make sense". (Note that I know technically Johnpacklambert said "Merge", but more often than not it seems successful "Merge" results lead to the page being redirected with no material actually being merged and the redirect ultimately being forgotten. Redirecting to the page on her husband, as that article is currently written, makes no sense, so no redirect should be done unless a simultaneous merging of the Elise Jordan content is performed.)

• Delete It is a website for synonyms, originating in Germany. The website has some small mentions in listings about "useful websites" on some RS websites/magazines like Chip, but nothing which resembles actual in-depth coverage which would warrant an article on Wikipedia. The "literature" listed in the article is similar, just short mentions as parts of "useful websites" or "praxis tips" (they can be checked on google books). The rest are some self-published press releases on the internet. There is no actual significant coverage of this webpage anywhere, and the subject therefore fails WP:NWEB in all criteria and WP:GNG generally. It should therefore be deleted.

A good high school football player, just starting his second year of college ball (first as starter), but nothing notable. Fails WP:ANYBIO, and the more specific WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH, WP:NHSPHSATH, and WP:NSEASONS. Meters (talk) 20:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, obviously. Lizard (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I'll be happy to withdraw this if he is notable, but simply playing for a notable team does not make him notable. Unless being a good high school player who is recruited is sufficient to show notability the article needs more meat. Aside from that all we source (and that is just to local media) is that he started a game in his second season of college ball. We need to show that he has gained national media attention as an individual player. Meters (talk) 22:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he's the starting running back on not only the number 1 team, but a team that over the past several seasons has had many high-profile running backs (Mark Ingram Jr., Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, Derrick Henry). Thus, because of the success of his predecessors, anyone who plays running back for Alabama is guaranteed to draw attention from the media. If you'd kindly withdraw the nomination I'm almost positive I can find some sources to establish his notability. Lizard (talk) 22:54, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and salt. I was torn on this one. The present article is devoted mostly to countering the claims of the GAPS diet, and I feel it is useful for Wikipedia to have balanced, objective articles on pseudoscience. But only if the pseudoscience is notable and widespread enough — otherwise, the Wiki article might unduly promote a minor theory. Even after reading the prior AfD discussion I was undecided. Then I saw that the article was declined in the draft process and moved to mainspace anyway. Now I am firmly in favor of deletion.

Salting is necessary. When Wikipedia has a decent anti-pseudoscience article that is deleted by AfD, someone may create a pro-pseudo article to replace it, and it takes time to come to the attention of objective editors. Salting will prevent the creation of an unbalanced article to replace this one. In other words, the consensus that appears to be building here is not that the article is flawed, but that Wikipedia should not have an article on this topic at all, period.

• Weak delete A tough case. While the GAPS diet is obvious bullshit (even the illustrious Dr. Weil can't see fit to endorse it), is it notable bullshit? There's little coverage outside the faddish end of the alt-med universe. That's too bad in a way, because people curious about this junk should be able to find reality-based coverage and not just praise from the diet fad echo chamber. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 01:30, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I started this article after reading about GAPS in the widely-read science magazine New Scientist ("The Hemsley effect: why we fall for celebrity food advice"). It said this diet was promoted by the Hemsley sisters, who have a prime-time TV programme in the UK. I think that when bad advice is given by prominent media, Wikipedia should provide information so that people can quickly find out what the truth is.
