A non-descript suburban mall. Other than routine coverage, nothing to show this particular mall is notable. Onel5969TT me 23:30, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Adequate references from credible, third-party sources, indicative of its notability. This is one of the newer shopping malls on Penang Island, by the way, which is also strategically located at a growing suburban area. Vnonymous (talk) 23:56, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep my experience recently has been that most large malls are found notable, even if the only references are arguably WP:MILL. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:55, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - In the absence of a notability guideline on shopping malls, appears to satisfy general notability marginally, and shopping malls probably usually do. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, malls commonly have notability as many people will go there everyday. angys (Talk Talk) 08:04, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Unjustified nomination for deletion, as the subject is notable in Penang. As pointed out, the subject's notability is backed by a number of third-party sources. If it fulfills general notability, why the subject is nominated for deletion is beyond me. Semi-auto (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are currently 565 All Party Groups (APGs) in Westminster, and most MPs are members of at least half-a-dozen. These groups rarely get any coverage in mainstream media.
I doubt that a blog on ComputerWorld is a reliable source, and since this blog entry consists almost entirely of block-quotes from the APG's own website, it is hard to describe it as "significant coverage". BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 22:17, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Casey's death was well covered, and there are plenty of results about it in reliable newspapers on newspapers.com[1][2]. His activities in WWII are briefly covered in articles about his father from that period. As such, the article seems to me to well satisfy WP:V and WP:NOR. In order to satisfy WP:NPOV/WP:N, multiple reliable sources are necessary. I feel that period newspapers can satisfy WP:RS and give an article enough to satisfy our policies and guidelines. Further, looking at google books searches, I find some coverage, largely related to the camp and certainly enough to satisfy V/RS/OR concerns. I considered a !vote to redirect to Camp Casey, but the coverage is actually related to three things, the camp, the general, and the Hugh Boyd Casey memorial award which, I think, is still awarded to an NCO every year in the 7th infantry regiment and was, I think, founded as a part of the will of Hugh's mother. Smmurphy(Talk) 23:50, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded the article using a nine newspapers.com articles. Four of the articles are from during his life, one of which is about his father the rest are about him. Two are obits. One is about the naming of the camp. And two are references to the memorial award (there are more references to the memorial award, each one giving slightly different accounts of the award, so I added two so the reader can get a sense of the variation in the wordings around the award). Links to the newspaper clippings are in the article. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The guy was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and had a base named in his honor. If he'd been awarded the medal twice he'd meet WP:SOLDIER and we wouldn't be having this conversation. However, there are fewer bases named after soldiers than there are awardees of the DSC, so it seems reasonable to count the naming as a higher honor than the medal, thus keep.192.160.216.52 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per recent improvements. Having a military installation (or ship) and award named after you is a sign of notability. Notability is not inherited, indeed, however coverage may be bestowed on the relatives of more notable individuals (which is partially the case here) and soldiers may be notable also when not presumed notable per SOLDIER.Icewhiz (talk) 17:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Having a major military base named after him takes him over the the line. I admit that the criteria for this sort of honour is maddeningly random. Has attracted significant coverage. Hawkeye7(discuss) 19:53, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if this is a hoax or just a wholly non-notable event. The page is wholly unreferenced. Zero hits for "Percorso Trinakria" on JSTOR, Scholar, Gbooks and Gnews. I see no evidence whatsoever of notability, and no hope of finding sources that would demonstrate it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Trinacria is simply an old name for Sicily. I did some searches in Italian and there's a half-triathlon with roughly the same name, which suggests it's not an outright hoax. However, I couldn't find anything that confirmed the substance of the article or its notability. Fiachra10003 (talk) 00:54, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of this term, anywhere. WP:OR/WP:SYNTH. The source mentioned (Jansen, G, "Het Nederlands") mentions no such thing [3]Kleuske (talk) 20:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've certainly never heard of anything like this. Also, the term "sound shift" is normally reserved for a systematic change of phonemes, whereas this is just a collection of some unrelated sound changes that happened to occur in a certain language area. It doesn't seem at all notable to me, definitely needs sources to establish notability. Rua (mew) 21:05, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A source has been added referencing all three terms used here for the title. The original German in that particular source, makes use of "Lautverschiebung" which I've translated with "sound shift", another option would have been "constant shift" but the examples listed (see Janssen) include more than just consonants. It is however, a systematic shift. The concept itself is present in most modern linguistic works which deal with Old Dutch, as completion of these sound changes can be taken as the start of Old Dutch proper, following its Frankish proto-stage. Also, as mentioned in the article, it is used to differentiate between Old Saxon/Old High German and Old Dutch, in addition to the much large, intricate and studied HGCS. I've created the article as a start, I'm planning to expand on it more. I'd like to note though, that I've got strong personal indications that this is WP:POINT-nomination by Kleuske, who I sadly had to report for making a personal attack a mere hour ago. I would like to add more source material now, but am quite tired at the moment and would like to make this a promise for now. Cheers, AKAKIOS (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
At least one of those sources (Janssen, the only one readily available) does not mention the term AT ALL. ""Niederlandische Lautverschiebung" does not deliver any results either (Scholar, google, DuckDuckGo, etc). The term is mentioned nowhere in either google scholar or elsewhere. You got two weeks (generally) to come up with something better than just claiming it exists and delivering and casting aspersions. Kleuske (talk) 21:37, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're not a moderator Kleuske. Just another Wikipedian, and a Wikipedian with a history of personal conflict and disrespectful behavior on the Dutch Wikipedia for that matter. I'd ask you to refrain from barking orders to fellow contributors, let alone formulating ultimatums to volunteers. Janssen is used for its clear formulation of the changes (page 58 onwards) and online availability, a quick reference for the table presented. A source mentioning the terms, has already been added. Luckily it was still on my desk. More sources will follow, as soon as possible, when I have the time. Regardless of your personal deadline and shouting. Cheers, AKAKIOS (talk) 21:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Move to AKAKIOS's userspace, so that he can properly source the article. Can you guys not argue whenever you encounter each other? Mr KEBAB (talk) 13:25, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AKAKIOS is actually blocked rather than banned, and could fairly easily be unblocked. But if the article is deleted before that happens, they could request a restoration into their userspace. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question — The article nl:Klankverschuivingen in de Germaanse talen (Sound shifts in the Germanic languages), which is unsourced, and the article nl:Ingveoonse talen (Ingvaeonic languages) describe several sound shifts for the Ingvaeonic languages Dutch, English, and Frisian. Generally speaking the historical sound shifts of these languages seem appropriate topics for Wikipedia. While searching the web, I found some publications discussing these shifts. In which English Wikipedia articles, already existing or not, could these be best described? – Editør (talk) 01:25, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Editør: That (probably) refers to Grimm's law. Other candidates include Holtzmann's law, Sievers' law and Verner's law, but I'm not going to figure that out right now. I'm not contesting the phenomenon of 'sound shift' exists, I contest there's such a thing as the "Netherlandic sound shift", since it's not mentioned by any sources. Kleuske (talk) 19:05, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the title of this article was ill-chosen, but its content doesn't seem to be complete nonsense. The sound shifts in the laws you mention are all about the Proto-Germanic language. What I understand is that the Ingvaeonic languages developed from this language and consequentially their sound shifts would be different ones that occurred later in time. – Editør (talk) 20:57, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't complete nonsense and one of the sources ("Het Nederlands vroeger en nu", Janssen, G.) does mention the shifts specified. It's just that the term does not exist. If you can come up with a title that a) can actually be properly sourced and b) describes this set of shifts, feel free to rename the article and I'll happily withdraw the nomination. I doubt you can, though. Kleuske (talk) 23:06, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Notability has been established. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 02:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This page was nominated for deletion before and was kept partly due to a now banned sockpuppet. Once the puff has been trimmed, the subject is non-notable except as a Facebook commentator who makes controversial remarks in Singapore. Few reliable sources.

Comment Subject’s last notable position with Elite Models was over 10 years ago. None of his companies thereafter are notable. He was an appointed legislator for only 21 months. Not a real politician OppieSG (talk) 20:46, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Close discussion until other issues are fixed - Like most pages related to Singapore politics and politicians, this one is an absolute mess, full of COI editors, IP editors who have only edited this page and the page itself was seemingly created with the sole purpose of self-promotion. However, since the article also contains some unsavory material about the subject matter, and given the widespread nature of editing paid by the ruling party of Singapore or its fanatical supporters and detractors, the nature of this nomination and some of those calling for it is somewhat dubious. Though I would most likely support deletion, with the current circumstances it seems unlikely to be able to have a balanced discussion based on WP policy without POV-pushing. I suggest closing the discussion, sorting this out with a lot of blocks (preferably extended far beyond this page, but that seems unlikely to happen) then revisiting this discussion once that's concluded. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 23:22, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In local context, the subject is notable only for controversial comments that die out quickly, from the sources, he doesn't get any international coverage.
On a side note, let's be realistic, there are fanatical supporters and detractors come in both flavors. Its not even a new thing, i.e. personally I saw cases of people canvassing outsiders to come into wikipedia to help in his/her editwar [[4]][[5]]. But let that distract from keeping articles neutral. Our role is not to write what is "right"/"truth", which may be subjective, but what can be "reliably sourced". Zhanzhao (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "Per talk page" is not a reason for deletion. Please state a reason here. -- Bistropha (talk) 05:13, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently there is some misunderstanding about the Wikipedia concept of "notability". It does not refer to the importance of the person or his companies or career. Instead, it refers to how much coverage the person has received from independent publications considered "reliable sources" (which roughly means: journalistic publications or commercially produced books). The references to the article show numerous journalistic publications that have reported on Mr. Cheng, so that is sufficient to meet Wikipedia's "notability" criterion. For further information on the criterion, please see WP:PERSON. -- Bistropha (talk) 05:30, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please also note that former members of a national or regional legislature qualify as notable, according to WP:POLITICIAN. -- Bistropha (talk) 05:46, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
i don't believe a partial term as an appointed member really gets over the POLITICIAN hump; even that argument is marginal at best. Jytdog (talk) 05:50, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The policy stated at WP:POLITICIAN does not exclude appointed members or short-term members. It even includes members who were elected but who never served. Note also that the British House of Lords and the Canadian Senate are appointive bodies. -- Bistropha (talk) 06:06, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete there are few high quality refs with substantial discussion about him. There are lots of passing mentions, sure. Some of the lack is due to the impoverished state of the press in Singapore but some is due to the fact that he is a medium sized fish in the small pond of Singapore. If this article had a normal history I probably wouldn't vote at all. I am involved in this article because it has been subject to relentless promotional pressure for around ten years (see this piece of promotional garbage from 2007, and see this from Feb 2016), and I would be happy to see it gone. If the subject were very notable it would be worth the effort; since notability is marginal, it is not. Jytdog (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to be disagreeing with your good-faith arguments, but the past poor quality of the article does not imply that the person fails to meet the Notability criterion.

Keep. Subject is notable in Singapore. Suggest raising the level of protection to WP:BLUELOCK permanently since a lot of those edit warring stuff by representatives of the subject through sock puppets can be avoided. Editors shouldn't be wasting unnecessary time dealing with COI users whose objective is at WP:Stonewalling and WP:PROMO. Jane Dawson (talk) 10:15, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What is he notable for? As a ‘politician’ he was an NMP with no voting power. It isn’t the same as the Canadian Senate or UK Lords. He never said anything of significance in office. His term was cut short. As a businessman, none of his companies are notable. If you do a google search now, the vast majority of news is about his Facebook comments about Singapore issues. That may make him notable in Singapore, but definitely not according to Wikipedia notability standards. OppieSG (talk) 14:55, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All Wikipedia needs is significant coverage by reliable sources that are independent of the subject. And the sources should be national or at least regional in scope. Here we have a case were "national scope" of a source is a small island of 5 million people, the size of a large city in any other country. I'd say it's a loophole in the case of city-state countries, but the article does meet "the letter of the law" if not the spirit. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:58, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Bluelock suggestion sounds good. The level of contentiousness over this article is puzzling to an outsider. --Bistropha (talk) 04:07, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for a couple of reasons. While one could argue that he's notable "nationally" in Singapore, it's also the same as being only locally notable in a city. If it were any city in the United States, he definitely wouldn't merit an article here. Secondly, I am in communication with the subject on OTRS. He has been disturbed about the article's history of "constant edit wars, vandalism and anonymous IP edits". He prefers that Wikipedia not have an article about him. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:57, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of non-notable people by Wiki standards that are quoted in state media frequently. Gillian Koh for example. They are even put on state media TV. The issue here is he isn’t notable for any Wikipedia recognised category. Being a political commentator and analyst often quoted in the poor press environment of Singapore is definitely not a reason. OppieSG (talk) 05:45, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He is not just a political commentator, but also a former politician per WP:POLITICIAN. There are quite a number of less notable NMPs with their BLPs here such as Viswa Sadasivan whom I have never even heard of until today. We shouldn't remove a BLP just because the subject is unpopular or highly controversial figure. Also, the same policy should be applied fairly and consistently to every BLP. Jane Dawson (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
NMPs are not politicians. In fact the scheme was set up to allow non-professional politicians to have a voice in Parliament. They thus have no voting power. Almost all of the entries on them should be deleted (including Viswa Sadasivan’s) unless before they were appointed, they were already notable. Some were Olympic sports people for example. The subject isn’t being proposed for deletion for being controversial. The discussion is whether he is notable. OppieSG (talk) 08:14, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
NMPs are politicians. Even his BLP says he is a (former) politician. Also NMPs do have voting powers. Quote: "In Parliament, NMPs can participate in debates and vote on all issues except amendments to the Constitution, motions relating to public funds, votes of no confidence in the Government, and removing the President from office." Wikipedia's policy should apply. Jane Dawson (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
From the Wiki entry “The NMP scheme was a move to provide more opportunities for Singaporeans to participate in politics. It was a "privilege" extended to Singaporeans who could make valuable contributions to public policy but for good reasons did not desire to enter politics and look after constituencies.”. They are not politicians. Also, those four things NMPs can’t vote on are the most important functions of a legislature OppieSG (talk) 10:43, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in my rationale, "state media" in this case amounts to local coverage. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:21, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
National coverage, to be exact. Jane Dawson (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's local coverage, to be exact. It's local coverage in a city that also happens to be a country. Local coverage in any other city the size of Singapore wouldn't merit an article here. For cases like this, international coverage would be most appropriate. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:37, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As an administrator, you should have the vast knowledge and experience to convince everyone here by pointing to the specific Wikipedia policy that states so to support your argument unambuiguosly instead of repeating your point. I am willing to vote otherwise if you are able to do so. I am done arguing with you. Jane Dawson (talk) 00:18, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, WP:NLI is a failed proposal. The coverage is unarguably confined to a single city. That's local coverage by any definition. The fact that the city happens to be a state is an irrelevant semantic argument. I would argue that the geographic and population-based scope of coverage matter more than the political boundary of the coverage. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:16, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have to admit that the whole NMP scheme seems a bit odd to me, but the NMP's sit as members of parliament specifically to give added and broader voice in public policy consideration. This is enough to give them notability. I would also back articles on every member of the central legislative bodies of every ancient Greek city state if we had the sources to verify them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:01, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Some NMPs are notable and some are not. There should be no blanket policy. The question has to be given that they are not proper MPs or politicians, what ELSE is an individual notable for? So we have several in Singapore who are CEOs of billion dollar companies, leading academics, a former Attorney-General etc. Cheng does not meet any of these criteria.

Keep Notable per WP:NPOL. We have articles about mayors of large cities, so I don't see the problem with having an article about an NMP. There is enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. It is sad that the article has been plagued with so much COI editing. I suggest permanent extended confirmed protection. The comment by Anachronist indicates that the subject is aware of this article and has requested a delete. However, WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE shouldn't be honoured here because the subject is not a low profile individual, but a high profile individual whose views have been quoted in newspapers regularly. Wikipedia is one of the few neutral sources of information available and deleting this does a disservice to our readers. It is funny that there was no request to delete it when this article contained a bunch of WP:PROMO content.--BukitBintang8888 (talk) 12:46, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep NMP's sit as members of parliament specifically to give added and broader voice in public policy consideration and appear to have limited voting rights. The wikipedia page suggests that several NMPs have be successful in passing legislation. One of the goals of WP:NPOL is to build a record of every legislator, which includes non-voting members (similar to the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico in the US House). --Enos733 (talk) 17:20, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm not very familiar with Singapore's system of government, but if NMEPs are basically members of parliament but appointed rather than elected, then that means that they would meet WP:NPOL as "members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." Although it appears that the subject has requested deletion of his article, WP:BLP states that such requests could only be given to low-profile individuals who probably wouldn't meet notability guidelines anyway. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 02:22, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Entry reads like a nasty hack job on subject. Detailed writeups about two controversies and thin on everything else. If subject is notable mostly for a price-fixing incident 6 years ago and some stupid facebook comment he wasn’t even arrested for, this entry should be deleted. Not all legislators meet WP:NPOL automatically. 195.68.63.82 (talk) 12:08, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In his speech to Parliament in the second reading of the Bill, when then Prime Minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong introduced the Nominated Member of Parliament scheme, he makes it crystal clear that NMPs are not Politicians. In fact, the scheme was introduced precisely to allow NON-POLITICIANS a voice in Parliament.
“Parliament does not have to, but it is a special privilege it can extend to those Singaporeans who can contribute, but who for good reasons, have no desire to go into politics (emphasis mine) or to look after a constituency, to enter Parliament.”
Politicians who have no desire to go into politics is a contradiction in terms.
“For example, many foreign companies, in particular multi-national companies, do not allow their staff to take part in elections because they want to retain a neutral position in their host country. Oil companies practise this policy. For the same reason, some local companies do not allow their staff to stand for elections. The Straits Times, for example, does not allow their journalists to do so.”
There are of course NMPs who were notable at their point of appointment. Examples would be Olivia Lum, founder and CEO of Hyflux, Loo Choon Yong, founder and CEO of Raffles Hospital. Or Joscelyn Yeo, who was appointed same time as Cheng, who was Singapore’s most be-medalled athelete. Some like Walter Woon, were marginally notable when appointed (being an outspoken law academic), became notable as NMP (for being the first non-Government parliamentarian to get a bill introduced and passed in Parliament) and then became even more notable after he stepped down as NMP (being appointed Ambassador to Germany, then Solictor-General and then Attorney-General of Singapore). Most however were ordinary Singaporeans who were just given a voice (academics, unionists, environmental actvists, artists) who would fail Wikipedia’s notability guidelines before, during and after appointment, if we do not automatically consider them notable as WP:NPOL. And we shouldn’t for the reasons explained above. OppieSG (talk) 10:03, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dan arndt (talk) 14:07, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Guys, many thanks for the books, do you have actual quotations, page numbers or URLs to provide verifiable citations? Simply repeating "GEOFEAT" does not help much as the policy rightly says
Many artificial geographical features may be mentioned in plenty of reliable sources, but they may not necessarily be notable. The inclusion of a man-made geographical feature on maps or in directories is insufficient to establish topic notability
Therefore, what we require here (as in many places) is actual evidence of notability. The district Gazetteer is certainly a "directory" in the terms of WP:GEOFEAT and is therefore not evidence of notability. The other books could possibly be suitable but we require evidence of substantial entries (per WP:GNG as well as WP:GEOFEAT) to do this correctly.

Delete though would also be interested to see the material Aoziwe notes. I also note that there is a deliberately misleading citation - the title is given as "Brown, Stephen (1869–1958)" (implying that he has an Australian Dictionary of Biography article), when the actual article linked is one on his brother, which has three lines about this person, and isn't considered notable enough for a joint listing by the ADB.

Comment. Please reconsider your comments about Fraud and then consider an apology.
You wrote an intentionally misleading citation that implied he had an Australian Dictionary of Biography article. The ADB has no record, standalone article or joint article, for "Brown, Stephen (1869–1958)", which you wrote as the title of the citation.

A non-notable alumni of Newington College who started a primary school.

A priest who attended Newington College. No notable achievements disclosed. He was on some internal YMCA Committees. The article does not disclose what the impact of his work was. The first citation in the lead is misleading, and simply is to an opinion piece he wrote in 1929.

Keep. Archive searches show that he got WP:SIGCOV in the 1920s as a promoter of mass emigration form Britain to Australia, N.Z. and Canada where these healthy, sturdy young men and women sould help build the Empire, or, at least, the economy. Beware presentism, it can lead you into missing all sorts of things, such as what a big deal the YMCA was back in the day.

Weak delete. Essentially in agreement with Aoziwe and The Drover's Wife above. Things said in the article suggest notability but the references often don't support the claims (example - the Australian Story stuff, which would not be enough by themselves but could be significant supporting coverage - but the reference only goes back to 2005).

Author Keep Meets WP:MUSIC's notion of "one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." The label released albums from, e.g., Explosions in the Sky, Unwed Sailor, Damien Jurado, The Six Parts Seven, Denison Witmer, Yndi Halda, and Efterklang. The label has gotten its own coverage (see reffed interviews and media coverage), in addition to there being significant coverage of the albums it has released.

This article does not meet WP:GNG and fails in particular on the areas of "significant coverage," "reliable," "independent coverage," and "independent of subject." There is no sourcing at all. There is nothing to indicate the subject of the article has any standing in her field. There is no reporting of her accomplishments other than an unsourced list of publications. There is no comment on the value of the publications, assuming they are real. This could be a case of WP:SPIP as perhaps it's intended to be her online CV (I'm not accusing the subject...someone else could have done it). She appears to be an academic, on whom the world has not commented. That does not, in itself, merit a biography. Even as a WP:NPF, the article will still need more sourcing and external commentary on her. GetSomeUtah (talk) 11:21, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It seems to me that, even as the article is now (as opposed to when this was nominated for deletion in good faith), it satisfies WP:NPF. The references to her work in King, Deborah K. (2010) and Barnes, Marian (2005) are both in books published by reputable academic publishers, and can be checked online. The same seems to be true of the Pedwell, Carolyn (2010) citation as it's published by a reputable academic publisher, (though it may not be checkable online). And this is quite likely only the tip of the iceberg since googling "Stanlie James" (in quotes) gives 10,400 general results and 4,100 book results. This also makes accusations of possible self-promotion (WP:SPIP) seem pretty implausible - with that many books available she could presumably manage far more than just the 3 independent citations she has now (and the none she had at the time of nomination) if she were promoting herself. And the article was originally created, and has now been greatly improved, by one of our most experienced editors (SarahSV), who has won two Million Awards, (one of them for bringing Female genital mutilation up to WP:Featured Article standard, so she presumably is well qualified to judge on the notability of the author of Genital Cutting and Transnational Sisterhood (2010)), as well as again making accusations of possible self-promotion utterly implausible. Tlhslobus (talk) 04:57, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The "keep" argument here seems to be that her work has been cited a few times (but there are probably many more citations) and that the article was written by a good editor. Agricola44 (talk) 18:10, 11 December 2017 (UTC).[reply]
The 'good editor' bit is mostly there to try to show the implausibility of the WP:SPIP part of the nomination. (Incidentally she is not just a good editor - in this particular field she is demonstrably a uniquely good editor, which is arguably somewhat relevant to what follows). But, apart from the SPIP aspect, the judgment of an experienced editor who is demonstrably expert in the relevant field may also be at least partly relevant to assessing the notability of the subject of an article, especially if it is under-developed. For example, a sufficient criterion for notability in WP:AUTHOR is "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." The "or" means that "The person is regarded as an important figure" is sufficient for notability. But most of us have no real way of knowing whether James is regarded as important in some field or not, and in that case we may have to rely to some extent on the judgment of those who demonstrably have expert knowledge of that field, and in that sense SarahSV's judgment seems relevant, at least to me (and justified by me per WP:IAR if necessary).
I did not say 'probably' many more citations, I said 'quite likely' (although this may be an understatement by me, given the 4100 Google Books hits). This seems relevant per WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST because the article seems under-developed - all its best bits were added in a last-minute rush (partly for reasons already mentioned in my much criticized comment below).
That said, I have felt forced to spend more time on this than I feel I can reasonably afford, so I will probably (or should that be hopefully?) not be saying any more on the subject.
Comment Also, as WP:BIAS tells us, being female and black probably means that Stanlie James's article is in practice liable to get far less work done on it than if she were male and white, and consequently makes it far more likely to be nominated for deletion, thus forcing female and black editors to drop what they are currently working on to rush to try to fix the problem, an exhausting process that presumably leads to such already under-represented editors being more likely to quit, thus further aggravating Wikipedia's Systemic Bias problem. Needless to add this is liable to then be made even worse if their efforts then prove to be wasted because the article gets deleted anyway.Tlhslobus (talk) 04:57, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This type of speculation is completely irrelevant to the conversation here. Agricola44 (talk) 18:10, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
1) I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned what I said was and remains 100% relevant. I was and am merely trying to describe an aspect of this nomination and vote, and of many other similar nominations and votes, which tends to be damaging to Wikipedia.
2) It damages us in terms of editor retention as per our WP:WER project, in terms of Gender Gap (which damages our editor retention, and the quality of our subject coverage, and our reputation) as per our WP:GGTF project, and it presumably has similar effects in terms of minority participation as well (though I'm not aware of which of our projects, if any, specifically deals with that). I am well aware that the damaging effect of such deletions has been repeatedly complained about in the GGTF and elsewhere (though if someone wants explicit documentation on that I would probably first want to consult somebody a lot more expert than me).
3) These are matters which I honestly think people need to be aware of and need to take into account when voting, perhaps also when trying to assess whether there is a consensus, and perhaps also when making future nominations (this nomination has already been made, in good faith, as already mentioned, so I'm not really concerned about it, as that would be shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted).
3b) This is probably especially important if people are uncertain about what they should do, as I'm not suggesting these considerations should automatically outweigh all other considerations.
4) Incidentally, please note that much of what I wrote above was not in any way 'speculation', but had already happened before I wrote my comment (as a look at the nominated article's edit history will quickly confirm).
5) I am not aware of any rule which says these seemingly entirely relevant matters should not be brought up in an Afd, nor taken into consideration there, but if such a rule exists I think I am obliged to ignore it in Wikipedia's interest per WP:IAR and per the related 5th of Wikipedia's 5 Pillars (WP:5P5). These are both completely opposed to any notion that we should somehow blindly follow some rules or traditions regardless of how much damage this may do to Wikipedia in practice.
Delete. The subject is a longtime academic and this is one of those cases for which the details have to be checked closely, I think. First, GS citations look good, but there's some double-counting. For example, the two top hits are to the same source, one being to a book she helped edit and one being to a chapter in that book she wrote. This duplication is repeated at least an additional 5 times, if one looks through the GS listing – it is unclear how independent these are of one another. However, if considered as one contribution, her GS h-index would be around 7. She has also written many journal articles, but WoS shows all of them to be cited only in the low single digits or in journals that are not indexed. She has helped edit 2 books and WorldCat shows pretty good holdings (760 for the book just mentioned, and 620 for another book). This is probably the strongest argument for notability, however edited volumes are problematic in terms of assigning notability. For example, the first book (with >700 holdings) has 17 contributors who wrote articles. The subject has written several books on her own, but WorldCat shows single-digit holdings of these. Overall, a detailed look suggests this person has not had impact demonstrably above the "average professor" level. Agricola44 (talk) 18:10, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as WP:AUTHOR. The three books listed are widely held, with the top books in 700+ libraries: Worldcat Identities. The article is sufficiently well sourced at the moment and establishes stand-alone notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from the nominator. I appreciate that the article has been improved since I nominated it. But it remains a straightforward listing of CV-type data, solely drawing on the works of the subject herself. The subject fails all four criteria of WP:AUTHOR: no evidence of being "widely cited by peers," no evidence of "originating a significant new concept," no "well-known work or collective body of work," and has "not won significant critical attention." Just listing the subject's books and saying they sit on library shelves doesn't do it. I don't think I have to remind people that we need people other than the subject herself commenting on these things -- none of that is in the article. I greatly respect the article's creator, SarahSV, and find it somewhat off-putting that other editors are implying the author is above the WP:GNG process and that her many awards somehow tilt the scales on the issue of Ms. James. Such assertions reinforce the notion that Wikipedia is a clique of insiders and continues to harm efforts to retain editors. The not-veiled-at-all commentary by Tlhslobus about the nature of the nomination is doubly offensive given my background. I would hope we could return to focusing on the substance of the article, rather than the creator and the nominator, and when one does that one sees that the article subject still lacks any mention of "significant coverage," nothing "reliable," no "independent coverage," and nothing "independent of subject." GetSomeUtah (talk) 20:17, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if anything I said offended you, though I'm not entirely clear precisely which part or parts of the complained-of comment (if that is what you mean by 'commentary') offended you (and I'm not sure that I really want to know either), as it was not and is not in any way intended to be directed at you personally. On the contrary, in my Keep vote, I explicitly said you had made a good faith nomination. My comment was merely trying to describe an aspect of this nomination and vote, and of many other similar nominations and votes, which tends to be damaging to Wikipedia, and which I honestly think needs to be taken into account in our present and future decisions, as explained in more detail above. (Incidentally, since you brought it up, I know nothing of your background, as it was and is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make, and if I had been trying to make insinuations about you (which I wasn't), this would have been wrong of me regardless of your background). Or if you are objecting to my mention of SarahSV, I'm afraid this honestly seemed unavoidable to me once your nomination stated "This could be a case of WP:SPIP as perhaps it's intended to be her online CV." (It may also be relevant to notability, as I have now argued at length above). Meanwhile I would ask you to please try to assume good faith per WP:AGF, and to please try to refrain from making any further unwitting personal attacks on me per WP:NPA (Please note, as indicated by the word 'unwitting', that I fully accept that it was not your intention to make a personal attack).

Keep -- The article is horribly self-referential and a replica of its website. That can be fixed. The organization is notable. There are several subsidiary articles and categories -- list of publications and fellows, whose members are mostly notable (have their own articles). I understand the guidance that a group does not inherit the notability of its members, but I choose to ignore it in this case. SIAM is more notable than a chain of biscuit restaurants.

Like most articles on Societies of all sorts here, the article needs editing for promotionalism and to improve sourcing, DGG ( talk ) 16:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is the major international society for its discipline, with over 500 article-space links. As well as the Fellow category pointed to by DGG, I would also point to Category:SIAM academic journals as evidence of the significance of this society as the publisher of several major and well-respected academic journals. It has nontrivial coverage in independent sources including [15][16][17][18]. An important subject for the encyclopedia to cover, and one that passes WP:GNG. This is the kind of AfD that makes Wikipedia look ridiculous to the outside world: it's obviously a significant subject, so why are we even considering deleting it? Significance is not notability and that's especially true in general for academic societies but this one passes notability as well. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:27, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Another offline reference that I found (just the reference, not its content): Auerbach, Isaac L. (1976), "Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)", in Ralston, Anthony; Meeks, Chester L. (eds.), Encyclopedia of Computer Science, New York: Petrocelli/Charter, pp. 1282–1283. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:33, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yet more sources: [19][20][21][22]. The difficulty of finding sources for this kind of topic is not so much in their existence, but that searches are swamped by the many many hits that involve SIAM but are not independent and about SIAM. So it takes careful crafting of search terms to find the ones you want among all the chaff. But the fact that there's so much chaff should itself make it clear that this is a significant organization. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:32, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've used the third source in the yet-more-sources list to augment the "Books" subsection a little. Thanks for finding it! I'm going to take a break now. XOR'easter (talk) 02:16, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I've considering withdrawing, but this is not a "ridiculous" nomination, and stating such is sophomoric. Herein, some, but not all of the arguments for the article to be retained are rather subjective relative to notability guidelines. Since this is an important organization, one would think that many reliable sources providing significant coverage would be easily and readily available relative to this importance, particularly since the organization exists to this very day. Where is the significant coverage? I checked out the sources provided above by David Eppstein, which is appreciated: The first one is all right being sourced from academia and providing a brief summary, but, the second appears to only have passing mentions and is limited to one page (430), the third is a bit amgiguous with snippet views, and the fourth appears to only be a passing mention on page 10. Now, I understand that notability guidelines are just that, guidelines, and exceptions exist, but again, if this is so notable, where is the significant coverage? North America1000 21:04, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. One of the world's most important mathematical societies and an important scientific publisher. AFD is not cleanup. —Kusma (t·c) 21:07, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's important, but where is the significant coverage in reliable sources? This could be merged to Joint Policy Board for Mathematics, even verbatim, which would retain the content despite the organization potentially not actually meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines.North America1000 21:12, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It may be difficult to find sources about the organisation, but that is mostly because they are eclipsed by thousands of hits about SIAM conferences and publications. Also, it does not help that "Siam" also has other meanings. But "SIAM conference" is usually something related to the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Your merge target is ridiculous for a publisher. —Kusma (t·c) 21:16, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I like my functional merge target. Are you suggesting that the provision of a valid WP:ATD is some sort of joke? I don't find that particularly amusing, but I tend to take notability seriously. Please consider providing sources that provide significant coverage of the topic herein instead. North America1000 21:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am only telling you that it is not a valid target. If you believe it is, you are misunderstanding what SIAM does. Here, by the way, is SIAM's entry in the main online history of mathematics resource, the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive. —Kusma (t·c) 21:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your merge target is almost as ridiculous as this AfD. SIAM is widely known and organizes many important activities (conferences, journals, awards) for its discipline. It belongs to this small and unimportant umbrella organization with half a dozen of its friends among the society world and that's what you think it should be merged to? It's like saying a famous scientist should be merged to an article about his weekly poker game. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:37, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from nominator – As I stated above, I'm well aware that there are exceptions to notability guidelines. Despite this, it will be amusing if this article is automatically retained based upon a simple !vote count. I am also amused about the chain-effect repeated use of the term "ridiculous" regarding this nomination, particularly when this is used as a primary rationale for retention of the article without any other qualification. I'm much more impressed by the work of User:XOR'easter, who has significantly improved the article, despite having not contributed to this discussion as of this post. Happy holidays! North America1000 22:10, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Perhaps the mathematician editors here are too shocked by the proposal to engage seriously with the impetus, which is that it's surprisingly hard to find notability evidence for SIAM. Here is my weak attempt:
Keep An important publisher and scholarly society. Finding historical details about SIAM is irritating, because you have to sift through the heaps of publications from SIAM and citing articles printed by SIAM. But I've managed to do a bit, and in my opinion, the WP:PRIMARY concern no longer applies. XOR'easter (talk) 00:02, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
An example of what I mean: the JSTOR search link in the list up top yields 11,906 results. That in itself is an indication of the sheer presence of the organization — but it's not light reading. XOR'easter (talk) 00:51, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nomination withdrawn. Not quite convinced per some of the arguments herein, but not interested in wasting people's time with a nomination that will likely be kept regardless of whether or not the topic is actually notable or not, or even worse, via a simple !vote nose count. Perhaps we should merge content from WP:IMPORTANT to a notability guideline page, seriously. Happy holidays. North America1000 02:05, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - SHRM is the primary professional association in the field. The best reliable source I can find to meet ORGDEPTH is this Journal of Management Education paper assessing its impact on the curriculum of HR education programs. Additionally, though it was written by a SHRM executive and may not fully qualify as independent, the peer-reviewed Academy of Management Journal has somewhat detailed coverage of some of the organization's practices, and this Conference paper from MIT recognizes it as representative of the field as a whole. In addition to the article's existing notes of SHRM work with the EEOC and Department of Labor, SHRM has been invited to testify before Congress.

Vote retain: Search of the translated article under its french name, Centre de recherche et d'action sociales, produces additional results which seem to me to satisfy the criterion of Deep coverage: "provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub". Also, it meets the audience criterion with coverage which is national. The independence of sources criterion seems to be satisfied by references which show inclusion in independently published books as well as in several of the footnotes which satisfy the independent source criterion. Since English is the most commonly spoken language worldwide, I think that this article on a notable French NGO deserves to be translated into the English Wikipedia.

Comment – Go ahead and delete the article then. All we need is a couple more "not notable" drive-by !votes and it will be sealed. It's curious that some users seem to be against restaurant- and company-related articles from the start, even resorting to !voting twice to promote deletion. DGG just "happened" upon this article shortly after I performed some edits to it, and is eager to delete all of the sudden, despite having never been involved in the article before. Automatically agreeing with one's buddy is clear favoritism, but there's no policy against favoritism. As such, it's not really important. Check out the revision history to see what's what: two against one: ST and DGG against NA = delete, right? Ugly at best, and potential off-wiki canvassing at worst. This discourages editors from improving articles, and it is also creepy. The sources I provided above are examples; more are available. The solution appears to be for me to stop editing articles that DGG and ST don't like; then they won't be immediately nominated for deletion. Perhaps some Wikipedians just want all company-related articles to be ridden from the encyclopedia. I don't forsee much reason to care at this point; if it's deleted, then it will just be another erasure of American history. While we're at it, be sure to nominate Microsoft for deletion; it's sourced from press releases, routine coverage, and churnalism. This is actually quite true, see Microsoft#References for starters.

let's be realistic--at least half the time I agree with your deletion nominations. There are some fields that are particularly prone to promotionalism , and restaurants are among them, because the nature of the content is inherently promotional, and the nature of the sources tends to be that way also. I have gradually learned which restaurant chains are actually considered important, and I am learning not to nominate them. If I do, other people join the discussion,and the consensus decides to keep them. I have never imagined I could always tell rightly what the consensus will be at AfD--or anywhere else in WP. If I got upset when it was different than I thought, I would have left long ago. DGG ( talk ) 05:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources provided by Northamerica1000. This 50-year-old company has received sustained coverage of nearly a decade (2004 to 2016) based on Northamerica1000's sources.
Forty years ago, Alva Greene and his two sons-in-law were mesmerized by the TV series "Rawhide." But for Greene, the star of the show wasn't Clint Eastwood, it was the chuck wagon.
Like many restaurateurs in the '60s, Greene, a former J.C. Penney manager, was attracted to the concept of a mobile kitchen that prepares food for cowboys working on a cattle drive. That became the impetus for his family business, Chuck-A-Rama Buffet Restaurants Inc., which opened its first restaurant in Salt Lake City at 744 E. 400 South on Sept. 6, 1966.
A routine article would not discuss a company's history in such level of detail.
This 2016 article, titled "Chuck-a-Rama celebrates 50 years of business", discusses the company's history in detail. Here is a quote:
When his father, Don Moss, started the business with partner Wayne Chamberlin, they tried to get a bank loan to start a second location. The bank turned them down, telling them issuing loans for a restaurant was as risky as giving out a loan for a Corvette or a motorcycle. Don Moss and Chamberlin never used a bank for another loan.
A routine article would not discuss a company's history in such level of detail. That a restaurant has been in business for 50 years is significant.

Delete on everything both WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Deletion policy, which say:
Source 1 above is a travel guide on guide suggestions
Source 2 and 8 is a general WP:Not news story
Source 3 is an ordinary research study, common every year for numerous businesses
Source 4 is a WP:Notguide again
Source 5, 6 and 7 is a general business announcement
Source 9 is as the book itself shows, a travel guide of someone's travels
To quote the relevant policy parts now:
WP:Not guide: Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like....the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc.
WP:Not advocate: Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise
WP:Not news: While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia
From WP:CORP quoted above: Except press releases, press kits, or similar works; any material which is substantially based on a press release; 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; 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"
WP:GNG: "For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, are not considered independent.
It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.
Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, autobiography, product placement and most paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter
WP:Deletion policy: pages that do not meet the relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia are identified and removed from Wikipedia. Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject). Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia. (De-spamming attempts here, here a d here; if 3 different edits couldn't make an impact, that's a sign WP:Deletion policy covers it)
To also analyze the latest sources:
"Greene....former J.C. Penney manager, ....attracted to...concept of a mobile kitchen....prepares food for cowboys working on a cattle drive....became the impetus for his family business" (see WP:GNG#Independent: "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it)
"When father, Don Moss, started....business with partner Wayne Chamberlin....tried to get....bank loan to start....second location" (same as above)
We can't be expected to accept materials that is still indirectly by the subject since the easiest Notability guideline GBG itself says independence is key here, and coverage on that independence is also required. 2 votes based their Keep on GNG, yet I quoted exactly what it said in highlights above. As WP:Articles for deletion says, we analyze sources and an article in what they say, including citing whatever relevant guideline and policy said what. A claim above says "A restaurant in business for 50 years is significant" is easily applicable for any company and this is not a Notability criteria at all, as coverage is what matters here, not age claims. This is equally as thin as any company with a strong presence in a particular community, and including that would be WP:Indiscriminate collection of information. Deletion is based on policy which is a necessity whereas Notability is a secondary possibility of an article's chances, not a guarantee and its lead states this: A topic is presumed notable.

Comment "A routine article would not discuss the subject in such a level of detail" actually, a routine promotional article will generally make use of the company's press releases to put in whatever personal detail about the founder's motivations he wants to include.

Keep. Craft/micro breweries are becoming more prominent in Australia, and especially Victoria. I think the business has significant coverage, e.g. this article in the Herald Sun about being bought out by Asahi. The article was also created in 2005 by en editor who worked on a wide range of Melbourne and Australia related topics, so it was not begun as a promotional article. Therefore we should be using editorial means to remove any promotional content from the article rather than deleting it altogether. At the absolute worst it should be redirected to Asahi Breweries, but I think even that would be overkill. Jenks24 (talk) 09:46, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with Jenks24. Craft beers are getting a lot of notice particularly in Melbourne. However, I would not object to a redirect provided a reasonable amount of the content was actually merged to Asahi Breweries. --Bduke(Discussion) 20:08, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It definitely has sufficient notability from what I've seen, although I think the wiki article could probably do without the laundry list of one-off beers (not sure what to do about that though). Anyway, here is some improved or more noteworthy sourcing from a very quick search if anyone wants to use these or move the list to the article's talkpage:

Weak Keep: Per sources, meets notability criterion WP:NMUSIC#2, does not meet #3, and may meet #2 since the NZHerald review wasn't listed at the National Library, suggesting that there may be have been more reviews in print sources of the era, particularly NZ music magazines (of the two reviews listed at the NL, Rip It Up might not be sufficiently independent). Likely to appear in The Complete New Zealand Music Charts: 1966–2006.

WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong pass of WP:NMUSIC and little quality reliable sourcing to support it. The strongest claims here are that he won an award that is not notable enough to pass NMUSIC #8, and the source for the fact is the award's own self-published website about itself, and that one non-notable critic for one alt-weekly newspaper named his album as one of her favourites one year, which is not any NMUSIC criterion at all. And apart from that critic, the only two reliable sources here are deadlinks in local coverage from his own local area, one of which Waybacks as a brief namecheck of his existence in an article that's primarily about Del Barber, and the other one is entirely unretrievable from either Wayback or ProQuest and therefore unverifiable. This is not enough to pass NMUSIC or GNG. Bearcat (talk) 06:43, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the article lacks good reliable sourcing.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:22, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The simple existence of a Wikipedia article about an award is not, in and of itself, enough to make that award one that confers notability per NMUSIC #8 — that attaches to awards on the top tier of notability, such as the Junos or the Grammys or the Polaris or the Brits, not to every music award that exists at all. And, in fact, the John Lennon Songwriting Competition's article is so poorly sourced that I've had to nominate it for AFD discussion too. To be notable enough to make a musician notable for winning it, the award has to be one for which the media cover the award presentation as news — an award is not notable enough to meet that standard if you have to rely on the award's own self-published website about itself as proof because media coverage of the announcement is lacking. Bearcat (talk) 15:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Nominator is spot on with assessment of the Lennon Award and of the weaknesses of the references given in article. However, a google of his name finds among many social media and trivial performance announcements a few instances of decent coverage and non-promotional third party reviews, http://www.vueweekly.com/ben-sures/ is one example. Yeah, the coverage is kind of small time, but cumulative enough to signify the subject is worthy of encyclopedic importance. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:51, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly referenced WP:BLP of an actress. As always, actors and actresses do not get an automatic free pass over WP:NACTOR just because the article lists roles -- she needs to be the subject of reliable source coverage about her performances in at least some of those roles, and preferably some by which we can actually verify some biographical details as well, before she actually satisfies a notability criterion. But of the five sources here, not even one of them is a reliable source at all: there's her IMDb profile, a tweet from her sister, a deadlinked primary source announcement of a DVD release, a deadlinked podcast and a non-notable PR blog. These are not acceptable sources for the purposes of getting an actress into an encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 06:51, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very prolific Gemini Award-winner. One of the stars of Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, Arthur (TV series) and has had other significant roles in multiple films and TV shows, thus easily passing WP:NACTOR ("Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.")--Oakshade (talk) 07:30, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, the article neither states nor sources anything about her winning a Gemini Award. And secondly, as I pointed out above, the notability test for an actress is not "has had roles", it is "has received enough reliable source coverage for the having of roles to pass WP:GNG". No number of roles exempts an actress from having to be properly sourced — it's the amount of media coverage she did or didn't get for having roles, not the number of roles in and of itself, that determines whether she passes NACTOR or not. One role can be enough if sufficient media coverage for it happens, and a hundred roles can be not enough if sufficient media coverage for them doesn't happen. Bearcat (talk) 08:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't claim it establishes notability. I claim that a few more articles with a similar amount of content would give it notability.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I spent about three hours looking online last night and found sources from Flying Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Plan & Pilot, Nova Scotia University, the City of Santa Monica (smgov.net), the Orlando Sentinel, FAPA, General Aviation News, CCHeadliner, and the Wichita Business Journal. However, the scope of the research so far seems to be concentrated heavily around a few recent current events. I'm going to do a search today for print sources and see what I can come up with. I think this would be a great "teeth-cutting" first project for me. Help and guidance along the way would be very appreciated. Dragon-360 (talk) 15:48, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment --before I make up my mind. I speak as a subject matter expert. It is probably factual to say "the longest surviving commercial flight school in the United States with the most expansive geographic reach. The article needs a rewrite to include History and an up-to-date description of its operations model. The Part 141 assertion is an important one. We might a well capture this story; general aviation is an industry past its mature phase. It's not a huge company, but within its sphere, it is notable. It was probably more notable in 1978, the peak year of GA. Rhadow (talk) 16:39, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. It looks like the album Mr. Blake released in 2010 remains his only record to date, and the website for Second Chance Soul Records is dead. With no interviews or reviews online, it appears that there is absolutely nothing that can be added to the two lines of this article, even after seven years.

Has been through speedy deletion twice and failed both times, but was never put through AfD. Non-notable individual. (Note, there are at least two Keith Dewars that appear in Google hits, one of them is the CEO of Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region, and the other is a professor of tourism. This article is about the professor.) There is no suggestion that this individual meets WP:PROF. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for Wikipedia is not LinkedIn and this article looks something like a personal CV. Those speedy deletion back then should have got rid of this article. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 09:21, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree that being assistant dean of a university faculty is enough of a notability claim to preclude speedy deletion, but I'm less clear on why it didn't then come to AFD instead — it's quite far from "inherently" notable enough to survive an AFD discussion in the absence of any viable reliable sourcing about him.

This article is a fake. There was no such peerage created in 1934 or in any other year. It is accordingly not listed in The Complete Peerage, nor by David Beamish (the former Clerk of the Parliaments), nor by Leigh Rayment in his index, nor in any of the other directories of the Peerage.

Delete: No mention in Times obituary of Hugh MacDowell Pollock (Mr. H. M. Pollock. The Times (London, England), Friday, Apr 16, 1937; pg. 16; Issue 47660. - available online to UK library users and other subscribers). Suggest a mass reversion of the creating editor's questionable additions. Note Adelaide Pollock, created today. PamD 08:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've found a Times death notice for Adelaide and an aviation website too - neither of them cited as sources in the article. So she seems OK. Though her dad's title will need to be removed from the article. PamD 08:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And have done some work on her article including moving her and removing the mention of the unsourced barony. PamD 09:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- If the title had been created, that would be recorded in London Gazettee. Accordingly, this is a case of WP:OR. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep. Clearly notable with claim of significance. @HindWiki: You must read the article for any claims of notability first and search for sources before nominating if you're not sure. Therefore, closing it speedliy per WP:SK#1 (non-admin closure)KGirl(Wanna chat?) 03:53, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep "Jonathan Dimbleby was a British TV programme as shown on Sunday Mornings on ITV between 1994 and 2005". It aired for eleven years as a Sunday morning talk show on a national network. You failed to do any WP:BEFORE or use WP:COMMONSENSE here, so I'm going to fix it. Nate•(chatter) 02:19, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
