The sources do not establish the existence of "Danish English". Reference 1 contrasts Danish, English and Italian; ref 2 is about translating between Danish and English; ref 3 tells us that Danes are good at learning English. John of Reading (talk) 22:34, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two comments: (1) If the sources are there, it would be reasonable to have an article about "use of English in Denmark", or "English-language education in Denmark", or something of the sort; we have an article about English-language education in Japan, after all. But I'm not interested in looking for those sources, and I'm not going to advocate keeping this content on those grounds. (2) If this is deleted, the Danism redirect will need to be deleted.

Apparently the warm up man for many television events. None of the sources here appear to actually mention him, and a search for others confirms he exists and that's about it. Can't think of any way of salvaging this. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)22:33, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is a public attraction. I'll grant that the article doesn't make it sound very exciting to visit, but museums are basically notable. This appears to be a publicly funded one, with opening hours of at least five days per week (per the Wikipedia article, not that such should be stated in the article) as opposed to a private museum in a person's house that is not regularly open. --doncram05:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
none of these reasons address how a notability guideline is met nor the WP:SIGCOV test. this appears a knee-jerk keep !vote without a proper demonstration of sources. opening at least 5 days a week is not a criterion for notability. LibStar (talk) 05:05, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. What the heck is the relevance of asserting a place is not in current Google News coverage, in an AFD about a museum? So what? I would think/hope most museums would not be breaking news with scandals or whatever. That is no basis for an AFD nomination; it rather suggests that wp:BEFORE was not performed. --doncram20:23, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
so now you're saying a lack of coverage is somehow ok for musuems? Ridiculous. Notable museums all get significant coverage even in gnews. You need to stop with your weak arguments in AfDs. LibStar (talk) 10:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think you mean the current article's sources don't do much more than confirm it exists, not that sources about the museum and the historic building and the gallery don't exist in Dutch and other languages, which we have not found and used in developing the article yet. --doncram19:56, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Several notes:
The building is a historic building, a Dutch government building that has, like many others in Malacca, been repurposed to a museum. It is one of 10 museums within walking distance that seem to have been created as part of a government effort to foster Malay "cultural nationalism". See Building Cultural Nationalism in Malaysia by Timothy P. Daniels. The Google books view lets me see its page 108 which describes the art gallery upstairs in detail, but not its continuation on page 109 which I think is describing the youth museum. All 10 of those museums might be covered in navigation template ((Museums of Malaysia)) currently. There's not a lot on each of the separate articles, but it is okay by me that they exist as separate articles. An alternative would be for an editor seriously interested in the topic(s) to create a comprehensive list-article of museums in Malacca or in Malaysia as a whole and redirect some of the separate museum articles to sections in the list-article (but then of course the longer separate articles may still be valid, so would be kept and linked). I doubt that anyone involved in this AFD so far is actually interested in taking on such serious editing.
I am not finding what the building was named in Dutch or English or any other language though. Searches on just "Malaysia Youth Museum" don't yield hits on the historic purposes of the building, but I believe that it is historic and sources covering it do exist, although perhaps not so much on-line and not so much in English. It is very very common for museums to be located in historic buildings.
There is a 1931 date of significance for the building (which if it is a construction date is not terribly old), from the page 61 coverage about the museum in academic thesis / tourism study in PDF file downloadable from here. The building was part of the "Dutch Administrative Complex". However I don't trust that this building is 1931-built. Other "Dutch Administrative Complex" buildings date back to 1641.
Their source is "PERZIM", which I think is the administration running the museums, and there is page after page about the various museums, in this research study about tourist views. Again I am getting some impression that the collection of museums is notable, but still I think it is easier to have separate articles about the museums instead of, or in addition to, a new article about the collection of them. --doncram20:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous hits on "Malaysia Youth Museum" in tourism-related articles, including many mentions of it being nearby to other museums. Frankly it sounds like a dud in terms of marketing, at least I don't really want to visit it the next time I am in Malacca, but still it is a part of systematic government effort to create tourist attractions, build "cultural identity", spew out propaganda or what have you. It is significant that the government is creating and supporting these. And it is covered as an attraction in TripAdvisor and other international travel guides (albeit with faint praise "Quite detailed but could be a bore for some"). Museums are covered in travel guides, that happens, and that does document existence. I don't see why Wikipedia should delete its coverage of them.
Also, note that the building has the Youth Museum on the first floor and an art gallery on the second, which has a separate Wikipedia article at Malacca Art Gallery. I think it would be fine for editor(s) to combine the two articles into Malaysia Youth Museum and Art Gallery or similar title.
you seriously think tripadvisor is a reliable source? Tripadvisor lists every hotel and minor tourist attraction under the sun. Has this been covered in major Malaysian newspapers? Rather thsn your WP:GOOGLEHITS argument. LibStar (talk) 07:35, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete.Smmurphy, both the links you now have added go to a login page for Lancaster University, and apparently you have to be staff or a student at the university to use it. I'm sure you found stuff, but the way you've linked to it doesn't work, at least for me. If there's something that goes to notability behind those unhelpful links, I might change my mind, but it seems unlikely on the face of it. Mentions in "tourism-related articles, including many mentions of it being nearby to other museums" don't exactly show notability. The museum exists, and they would like for it to attract tourists, and that seems to be it. Bishonen | talk23:05, 25 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]
@Bishonen: Thanks for the note, the links had an "accountid" that I didn't notice. I've removed the accountid bit and tagged the refs as subscription needed. It would be really great if WP:TWL had ProQuest, but as is one needs access from somewhere else to use it. ProQuest is, in general, a lot better than google news or newspapers.com for finding news articles from between, say, 1960 and 2005, especially print and non-US/Europe sources. One of the links is to a book which is basically a visitors guide and is published by (I think) a state-run media company. The other is a newspaper article which is also a visitors guide and is in the major English language newspaper of the country (again, I think). Neither are terribly in depth, and the first isn't terribly independent. But to me, both are still basically third party (and at least establish Verifiability). My standard here is that, while I don't find great evidence of GNG, I find weak evidence of it in spite of having next to no access to Malaysian sources and no skill in the Malaysian language, so I feel pretty sure that GNG would be possible with those resources. Smmurphy(Talk)23:56, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One of the sources mentioned above has a multipage discussion of this museum [1]; other English-language references are apparent in a GBooks search. Enough here to validate this as a notable museum. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:15, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - request relist - It is true that the sources in the AFD currently are not useful (many of them are very brief coverage including the book source). To be blunt here, (and as someone in a neighbouring country) I seriously doubt there is enough significant coverage about the museum. From my personal experience, this isn't exactly a notable museum either (if I compare it to others in the region). That said, I would be willing to look for more sources which are not available online. Could we please relist this for a week? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - recommend a no-consensus close OK, I have to apologise for wasting time here. Unfortunately due to certain real life constraints, I wasn't able to make a trip to the library. However, the content is clearly valuable. If there is not enough for a standalone article, I would definitely recommend a merge. Can we please close this as no consensus for the time being? Thank you. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Part of a CU-confirmed paid advertising campaign in which several accounts were involved and singlehandedly used to cover each other's articles, something that violates our main policies WP:What Wikipedia is not, WP:Deletion policy and WP:NOT, because they all clearly maintain any and all advertising is removed, especially when used to misuse Wikipedia for webhosting, because they're policies we've held since day 1; all sources here are clear paid press, including with either clear labels or thinly hidden ones, especially because the mirrored copypaste information all confirms it, and also unconvincing in WP:CORPDEPTH (it states even published or republished information can be unacceptable if solely used for company promotion); next, it's unsurprising every search here and here found clear signs of such self-published or republished promotion, because they all show the given authorship by the company itself. It's not only one violation to intentionally hide COI payment, but it's a worse one to use multiple accounts to enlarge and hide it, which is never a negotiable matter here. As our policies note such as WP:Sockpuppetry, we will not tolerate both covert paid contributing and then attempts to bypass it using multiple accounts. WP:GNG itself says we will not accept anything still by or for the company, or where it has similar effects. When no one is actually willing to significantly improve this, beyond cosmetic rewording or styling, it shows it cannot be improved to our set policies. Every single source here, particularly 1 and 3-8 (with 2 only being a mere business column notice) is a clearly labeled or thinly hidden paid press, advertised columns, business interviews where the company spoke to clients, etc. which is exactly what my searchesall found with the mirrored consistency of shared business quarterly schedules (not a coincidence at all), including with such information as costs, pricing availability, etc. which violates WP:What Wikipedia is not. Our Wikipedia banner has also stated Wikipedia will not accept advertising as that has never been a foreseeable option. SwisterTwistertalk18:57, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You people are incredible, especially "coffman". It took me 20 years to research the full extend of the career AND crimes of Gustav Knittel and the men under his command but coffman butchered the Knittel article - deleting relevant info and insisting on adding a crime Knittel did not take part in - then deleted the article about German Cross in Gold winner Wawrzinek and now insisting on deleting the - first equally butchered - article about German Cross in Gold winner Leidreiter for being "tribute like".

We already have an article on Journalism ethics and standards. This article's stated purpose is to cover "the current practical application of ethical-journalism", a violation of WP:RECENTISM. (Notable contemporary controversies about journalistic practice, such as GamerGate, should be treated individually). The article itself consists entirely of improper synthesis of primary sources discussing the current U.S. President's conflict with the American press, leading to a WP:COATRACK and essay-like article. I can't find evidence that the term is used to mean anything distinct from what is covered at journalism ethics and standards, or that anything in this article is worth merging elsewhere. I recommend a redirect. FourViolas (talk) 19:07, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is already such an article regarding the ethical standards of journalism, and yes, the new article, Ethical Journalism does concern itself primarily with the supposedly "recent" claim made by several notable figures and organizations that responsible (ethical) journalism in America is essentially now dead, (please note the Washington Times claim to that effect as cited in the article.) This claim however, is not a new claim, but has been clamored about over alt-right news sites for at least 7 years that I know of, but only now has it finally arisen to the status of being fully and publicly endorsed by the POTUS himself. Thus, this article is not really covering a truly current or merely recent event, but it is covering a certain sort of a "conspiracy theory" that has been in the wings for at least 7 years, and probably much longer.
Regarding your claim that the article is already covered by the article on journalistic ethical standards, or that it should only properly be covered there, I have actually been in contact with the creator of that article, who has most certainly already read my request here concerning this article (read it, based on his contributions log), and I am awaiting his recommendations regarding this question.
It is my humble opinion that Wikipedia harms nobody, and answers the questions of many, by being willing ot fearlessly include an article that addresses and focuses specifically on this one very major question that recent events have laid in front of us. That is the question, Is Ethical Journalism still alive and well in America or not? Obviously this question holds very deep undertones about the survivability of democracy itself. I fear that if we might prove to be too fearful to attempt to fairly address this question here in a format that attempts to offer reasonably unbiased answers to the public, such as Wikipedia, and in an article that specifically focuses on this one question, then other media such as the traditional news outlets which have already been vigorously attacked, may be unable to satisfactorily answer it either.
Should these attacks against traditional American journalism itself, somehow succeed, do you honestly believe that we at Wikipedia would then somehow miraculously be immune from the next wave of attacks, should we ever publish anything that the POTUS might disagree with? I beg you to please pause and to think honestly on this rather serious question for a moment. I would ask you to please have some small measure of patience regarding this question, and to please await the answer of administrator Beland, the creator of the article on the ethical standards of journalism, before reaching any conclusions here. I will most probably accept whatever administrator Beland advises.
Delete or redirect - Totally agree with the nominator's rationale. This issue is already discussed at Presidency_of_Donald_Trump#Relationship_with_the_media. I don't think anything from this article is useful to add there, but that section could probably use some additions for context and balance - what is Trump saying the media got wrong, what do the media think of those accusations? -- Beland (talk) 19:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Beland. I have said above all I will say on this question, and will now stand fully aside in silence here (unless specifically requested by Beland for a comment) for the rest of this discussion, to allow the consensus process to do whatever it will here (though I may still suggest to others that they might find this conversation to be of interest.) Scott P. (talk) 20:00, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Journalism ethics and standards. If we want to have an article about journalistic ethics in the 21st-century US, or anti-journalism conspiracy theories, or Donald Trump's attacks on the press, it should not have the title "Ethical Journalism". In addition, I share FourViolas's concern that the article seems more like a persuasive essay than an encyclopedia article. At best, it could be rewritten significantly and moved to Donald Trump and the press or something like that. —Granger (talk·contribs) 22:22, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Journalism ethics and standards. This is an essay and coatrack, comprised of cherry-picked examples, that highlights topics that are already covered. It reminds me of a class assignment, where each student writes an article on journalistic ethics. Each student would offer different takes on the same very broad topic. There are many sub-topics that could plausibly be covered under the term "Ethical journalism" (wartime journalism, privacy and sources, fake news, propaganda, etc. etc.), and countless examples from history that could be arbitrarily highlighted for each subtopic. It is quite a stretch to think that somewhat googling "ethical journalism" is looking for anything related to Trump, U.S. politics, or even American journalism at all (Wikipedia is international). Even with a more specific title and narrower scope (e.g. "journalistic ethics in U.S. politics", this patchwork article would be problematic. Comparing current New York Times practices to its 2004 style manual is awfully close to WP:SYN. Compiling quotes (primary sources) from past presidents also seems more synthetic than I'm comfortable with for an encyclopedia article. While I don't think this article (by any name) is appropriate for an encyclopedia, it might have a place at Wikibooks, Wikiversity, or other alternative outlets. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gentlemen, After reading all of your helpful and thoughtful comments here, I think I may have gotten the message. The page was simply not npov, it was an essay. Ok. Unless anyone objects, I would like to set this page as a redirect for now to the main Journalism ethics and standards page, and then possibly at sometime in the future, if it can be figured out how this topic could somehow be suitably covered without a single mention of the name, Trump, either directly or by direct implication, then to re-propose it? Deal? Scott P. (talk) 07:06, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Scottperry:: I'm not sure all the commenters here are male, but in any case, what usually happens with these discussions is that an uninvolved administrator comes along in a few days and reads all the comments and opinions and declares what consensus seems to favor, and implements the deletion or redirect if necessary. -- Beland (talk) 07:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(@Beland:) Yes, and whenever this discussion is closed, I will probably assist in "untangling" the page from template-space, and if applicable, moving it to "project-draft-space." Scott P. (talk) 18:07, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why is that a problem? WP:POFR says redirects from likely alternative capitalizations are appropriate. Given that "journalism ethics and standards" is very unlikely to be a primary search target, capitalizing common redirects seems appropriate—WP:Redirects are cheap.

Neologism that does not seem to have notable usage. The only references I can find to this are things like the jargon file defining the term, which does not seem sufficient for inclusion.

Delete it has lasted three years? So not really a neologism perhaps, more like an "in joke". Still far from an encyclopedic topic. Probably not worth a redirect since unlikely would be a search term. W Nowicki (talk) 17:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clear company-initiated advertising of which WP:NOT and WP:Paid (non-negotiable policies apply) because it's clear the history's showing of accounts are that by paid employees or hired help, none of which is a convincing factor of notability or an article here; as it is, we've established in past consensus that these offered publications knowingly, blatantly and openly-label paid press, announcements, press releases, advertised interviews hosted by the company, something of which WP:CORPDEPTH states is unacceptable in [Unacceptable sources are]: Simple announcements, statements, press releases, anything by for the company, wherever published, anything where the company talks about itself or advertising and so to examine the sources: 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 6 are all announcements with clear labels of it, thus showing the company is the sole author, considering it's all focused in a self-POV, 5 is a clear PR award published in a business column video, 7 is also an announcement but it's a specialized trade PR publication, thus it's only used for self-advertising, 8 is similar but it's in fact another for-hire profile advertising. Another obvious sign this was started for self-advertising is the fact the largest sections (not that large, to begin with) are in fact the areas where their company services and offers are listed, so if we delete that, we have nothing but a few sentences, certainly not to convince WP:GNG. As stated here, I attempted to improve the article but couldn't simply because there was no genuine independent substance in which to start simplest changes, and a search along with others here showed the same publications involved company self-PR as before, thus it's only emphasizing the company is needing self-published attention and advertising, something of which has always been deleted, regardless, because of our main policy WP:Wikipedia is not a webhost. As our policies note, articles must be improved to our standards and policies to be acceptable. SwisterTwistertalk03:18, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment and analysis - Source #2 is in the current article and is a clear business announcement, all of the others are literally quotes of either "The company announces today", "The company reported its company has....", "The company has made plans", etc. None of that satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH as noted above. To quote what the article says "Netmeds acquired a comany today" (and it's part of their "business section" thus not indiscriminate considering it's going to say whatever the company advertises). #3 is their company plans and what they're accomplished in it so far....by their own company-authored words, thus instantly unacceptable for WP:CORPDEPTH, #4 is then once again a similar announcement to that past one, $5 is then a funding report, which as stated by WP:CORPDEPTH is unacceptable because it's brief announcements or statements, in which the company talked about itself, or anything published by for the company, wherever published, and that's actually the main section of WP:CORPDEPTH. The thing about #6 is that it actually states Article for minor upcoming business to advertise, so that's instantly unacceptable, not to mention, the accompanying PR-formatted information. With this said, all careful examinations of the other articles found the same conclusion, and that was within a few minutes. To emphasize this, I performed several other searches myself such as this, this and this and which found nothing but exact business announcements and statements, with the credited authorship by the company itself. Note how each search actually gave all of the same links, but without actually using the same keywords, showing this is simply all that exists for the company. WP:What Wikipedia is not then says "Simple listings, Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts....listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, products and services, sponsors...." and that's our two main functionaries for articles here. Once again, I'm absolutely willing to withdraw if and when the significant improvements are made, and not simply cosmetics ones as both of the policies offered above state. Also, to note, since GNG has been offered, to quote GNG....a subject may be presumed (but not guaranteed) to be notable if independent evidence, and not passing mentions or notices are used, in this case, since #6 itself was a clearly-labeled company press release, it would not satisfy our GNG, let alone anything else. We have never made GNG policy, simply because there's always been consensus that such cases have to be evaluated separately, as is the case here; our own users, including the paid spammers, have confessed they have personally paid for these articles, so because the links above share these same qualities, it's simply no different. Thus, why our main policy WP:NOT has always been unquestionably used, in all cases, even if notability was slightly possible, simply because it's never a guaranteed given.

Non-notable game. It appears in some (but, interestingly, by no means all) compendia of board games, but these compendia only really give a brief outline of its rules, and do not contain significant coverage. Also relevant is WP:INDISCRIMINATE: this is an encyclopedia, not a card games compendium, and if there are no reliable sources out there containing information other than the rules that we can use in an article, it does rather suggest that the game is non-notable. Amisom (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't see the problem. Someone decided to write an article on this topic and it is not a hoax. As shown by WP:BEFORE D1, sources are available on both Google books and Google web. Information in articles requires verifiability, not sources from an academic press. Unscintillating (talk) 17:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, maybe there is a list of solitaires as a merge target, if that is your concern. And failing the notability test doesn't prevent retention as a standalone article. Unscintillating (talk) 22:38, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have never heard of it but it's in my ancient Scarne's Encyclopedia of Games and, as Unscintillating has discovered, on many web sites. WP:N is a guideline for which there are "occasional exceptions", not a set of rules, but in this case applying the criteria leads me to think we should presume an article to be merited. Having an article looks just fine to me. Thincat ([[User Thincat)), howextensive in the material in thatbook? |talk]]) 09:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But if we agree that 'WP:ITEXISTS' is not sufficient basis for keeping an article, and that some additional notability is required, what is your reasoning for asserting that this case may be an exception to WP:n? It sounds like the point you're making (valid though it is) could be made in every single notability dispute. Amisom (talk) 21:20, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Amisom: You have misunderstood me but I see, reading it again, what I wrote was exceptionally unclear! I think the notability criteria have been met but WP:N only takes that to mean an article may be presumed merited. I was accepting that people may think the criteria have been met but the article should still be deleted because this is an exceptional case. I do not think this is an exceptional case and I think the article should be kept. Of course, your other comment above is quite wrong. The notability guidelines do not require us to delete failing articles but that would not apply in this case anyway, in my view. Thincat (talk) 22:25, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I find that book as a problem. From what I see, "Total Card Games! copies most of its contents from Wikipedia, not to. One of the reviewer wrote:
This book appears to be nothing less than a printing out of Wikipedia pages for each of the card games. There appears to have been no editing done by the "author", so that useless information such as ""Deuces" redirects here. For other uses, see Deuces (disambiguation) and Big Two (disambiguation)" (page 388) has been transferred to the book. On the Wikipedia page this would have had hyperlinks to the relevant pages, but here is meaningless as there are no disambiguation pages in the book! And, of course, as the info in this book is static, it will always be better to just look at the Wikipedia page for any particular card game you are interested in as that may be updated and improved.
Also, as you would see from the edit history, the contents of the article date from 2005, a lot earlier the 2015 the e-book was "written." No offense, but you better check your sources. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs12:25, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Obviouslt not copyvio but reverse copyvio. If it is covered significantly by Scarne, famous authority, it's notable.Thincat,how extensive is the material on the game in that book? DGG ( talk ) 21:56, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References cited do not talk about the film, but the author in general. Quality of the references is questioned as mostly blog entries. The proposers research did not find notable evidence for the movie or independent third party reviews of the book. The article itself speaks mostly in general terms about South African movies in a talkative way instead of being on point about the alleged movie. The article is/was part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mziboy and questions about notability in this regards have been raised before on related subjects and led to deletion. I bring forward a request for deletion for general lack of notability. Jake Brockman (talk) 10:48, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to vote that this article be kept for the following reasons. While there are serious issues with the deleting editor's use of unsubstantiated accusations intended to appear as if this article is a part of an on going conflict of interest. This is a direct violation of Wikipedia policy to accuse other editors of sockpuppetry without any evidence. The link provided, from ten years ago, is not timely.
- The film, 1948, is notable because it satisfies Wikipedia's notability definition, which is not based on fame but on contribution to field. Sibanda is one of a few, not sure what is so offensive by this fact: please look at Apartheid films one after the other. In the same vein, a white Jazz musician would be notable under Wiki's guidelines because that field is primarily considered black music.
- I think its fairly accepted that most movie directors from South Africa have been white, and so even if nothing has yet been written it qualifies under Wikipedia's guidelines.
I think there is a serious problem with the tone and attitude of the editor seeking deletion of this article. He assumes the article is part of a thread or conflict with a permantly banned editor Mziboy, which it's not.
There seems to be a personal issue going on here, namely Ken Sibanda's work is not notable. I have never meet Ken Sibanda, but he deserves to be treated fairly just like all the other "white" South African directors are treated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mutombofromcongo (talk • contribs) 17:01, February 28, 2017 (UTC) — Mutombofromcongo (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Delete because I cannot find any significant coverage from reliable sources to establish notability for the topic. This is the criteria that Wikipedia applies. Wikipedia follows coverage from such sources, so if there is no coverage, it cannot follow in writing about the topic. If others can find coverage about this film, I'd be happy to reevaluate my stance. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)15:08, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Erik and because SPAs' keep !votes don't need whole subsections. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 22:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As mentioned in the nomination, not a single one of the sources is about this film, and many (if not all) of them are not reliable sources.

No reliable sources given, and I cannot find anything on Google Books, even though this was supposedly discovered four decades ago. Total Google hits are 333. Utterly non-notable and seriously dodgy. Slashme (talk) 21:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The current sources are terrible but these "out-of-place artefacts" often are notable. "Aiud object" is a translation and doesn't seem to be a good search term; probably most of the coverage is in Romanian (obiectul de la Aiud or calcaiul de la Aiud). But I'm having trouble sifting out reliable sources from the conspiracy theorist blogs since I'm relying on Google Translate. – Joe (talk) 13:10, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There is some noise on some pseudoscientific sites in Romanian. Many call it "Călcâiul de la Aiud" ("The heel of Aiud", from the impression some conspiracy theorists have that it's some kind of heel of some kind of anthropomorphic robot). Some reliable media sources that say something about it are this one, which mostly states that the item attracted no interest from specialists, only from the general public, and this one which cites a 1983 book that bases the mistery on the author's evaluation that the part is too heavily oxidized to have been produced in the past century. This semi-reliable site suggests that the item is actually a part of the landing gear mechanism of a WWII-era Messerschmitt Me 262 airplane.- Andrei (talk) 14:03, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Out-of-place artifact. As a long time (if former) true believer, I don't accept that I would have never heard of this thing before now, yet simultaneously accept that it's been notable this whole time. The sources used in the article do nothing to contradict me. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.13:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Out-of-place artifact. I was going to vote Delete per LuckyLouie, because I thought Out-of-place artifact was for bona fide "artifacts of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found in an unusual context", as stated in the first sentence of that article. But reading on, I realized that the use of the term "is largely confined to cryptozoologists, proponents of ancient astronaut theories, Young Earth creationists, and paranormal enthusiasts." And indeed, the long list, which includes the Aiud object, contains mainly ridiculous claims, hoaxes, a 1920s spark plug erroneously dated as prehistoric, etc etc. The Aiud object fits right in. And I believe it's both encyclopedic and useful to have a list of this stuff, with some commentary on each, as the credulous may be enlightened thereby. Bishonen | talk17:25, 9 March 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Oh, I totally agree, notable fringe nonsense deserves to be covered. Just can't find any non-fringe/non-sensational sources to cite from. For example, if as someone suggested, text is sourced to the UK Express the description of the Aiud artifact included in Out-of-place artifact would describe how this "mystery wedge" has "experts stunned by 250,000-year-old aluminium"? - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And the UK Express source uncritically states stuff like "a piece of manufactured aluminium has been unearthed which dates back 250,000 years". Which is a WP:REDFLAG claim, so it certainly won't be going into our WP article as fact. If there's no other reliable source, I guess we're stuck with the Express? Just slap "allegedly" and "claimed" all over the place? - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - I don't find anything either, but could be convinced if there was evidence of reliable sources (offline or otherwise). In any case, it looks like he was not a battalion commander, but rather, was in a battalion under the overall command of Luna. I don't know if Luna was ever personally in command of a battalion during the war, but I doubt it, so if the article is kept, this should be clarified. Smmurphy(Talk)19:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because there's no indication he was more than a medical corps lieutenant and later a kindly country doctor. If he did write about the death of his battalion commander, that will make a great reference (if the commander is notable).--Jim in GeorgiaContribsTalk15:52, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not an obviously notable author. This was tagged WP:CSD#G4 but I stopped short of deleting it because this version, unlike the one that was deleted, has some sources. However, the references are all self-published or run of the mill book reviews (where the author is just one of many in a stock round-up), and a search for other sources draws a complete blank.

This article is very much a promotion and the cleanup most likely can't save the article. It's contributors are mostly students and other people affiliated with the school. This explains the very accurate description of the school in the article, seemingly without having references. FriyMantalk15:19, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's an IB school, usually they get some press. Also, if it's truly the only school in Ukraine to be accredited in three IB programs, that may provide some notability. This seems to be one for further research. Someone with Ukrainian and/or Russian language may be able to help. Jack N. Stock (talk) 16:59, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In order to be deleted as advertising, an article must not have any relevant or encyclopedic content. SeeDEL4. Even our most unsympathetic subjects, say, biographies of businessmen admittedly written by PR agents, are rarely deleted at AFD as advertising, and the recent schools RFC made clear that schools are to be treated with particular concern. This article has more than enough encyclopedic, if uncited, information to foreclose deletion on promotionalism grounds, and no other reason for deletion has been advanced.

This has been tagged as being unsourced since September 2014. I searched a bit for sources and I couldn't find anything relevant - everything I found is either not independent or about companies and/or products with similar names (there seem to be several). I think this article does not satisfy the general notability guideline and should be deleted. MrOllie (talk) 15:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related page because it is an article about the same software, just under a different brand name, and also has no sources:
Keep. Dataflex was big in its day; but its day was long ago. There'll be loads of RS in computer magazines of the 1980s & early 1990s. Just because you can't find RS with an internet search does not mean they do not exist. It really isn't helpful to want to delete history like this. A point of an encyclopedia is to be able to find information on obscure subject matter. Bottom line: this is a very disappointing AfD. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While you might not have found anything about the programming language, it is still used by thousands of developers on a day by day bases. If you think my edits where too commercial then that is your opinion. I just added what I believed was correct and improved the page. Personally I frown on that removal, but what can I do but accept your choice? FWIW I happen to program in DataFlex and run the largest open source website for that language (http://www.vdf-guidance.com ) Maybe the resources page at vdf-guidance helps you find things? --Wilva (talk) 20:49, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
MergeVisual DataFlex into this one. I can easily find sources from the 1980s. Yes, software did exist way back then, and this appears to be a somewhat pioneering technology. Two bad articles is certainly worse than one decent one. W Nowicki (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, it seems there was a court case "Data Access Corporation v Powerflex Services Pty Ltd." which is often cited in Australian law! Who knew. That should be mentioned. W Nowicki (talk) 00:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Personal independent testimonial and argumentation to keep the article on DataFlex. Since the end of the 80's, I am, as an independent software developer in Belgium, using the DataFlex suites as my primary software development environment. I have built unix, CM, windows, ajax, web3 and mobile applications with it. Nowadays the ability to fast develop web3, mobile and touch apps together with soap, json etc are embedded in the same studio. This makes the environment very modern, following todays trends and technologies. Through multiple middle layer drivers, it can be connected natively to most commercial DB environments. Dataflex applications are being used by small companies up to multinationals. The software that we have developed are used by users, seating in approx. 15 different countries, and that's just for me. My personal reference solution connects to a DB of + 250GB. Our longest ongoing project with continuous added functionality started in 1995 and has been evolving week after week since then. From these environments, we are exchanging information with the nr 1 ERP system, other ERP systems, automation lines, industrial PDA's, labo integration, specific test equipment, or better said, what people currently call IoT. During my career, I have given multiple courses, lectures and demonstrations. Velpenf (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google books search shows results in both InfoWorld and PC Mag magazines from 80s and 90s. Plenty of coverage to estabilish notability. I may add some more references to the article. Pavlor (talk) 09:56, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I repost this reference I added to the article, because it is 10 (full) pages comparison of three programmable databases (FoxPro, DataFlex, Advanced Revelation), should solve notability issue once and for all (I hope link is correct):
Keep. I have been working with DataFlex since 2001. I work for a UK based company that provides software for the not-for-profit sector, and the Institute of Fundraising has twice awarded us the best CRM database supplier in the last 4 years, so DataFlex is hugely important to us. We have approximately 200 clients spread through the whole of the UK who benefit greatly from our ability to deliver solutions on a rapid timescale thanks to the DataFlex programming language. Our product is written for Windows but we have just started to use the language to create mobile applications and solutions. Braggovic (talk) 16:25, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As a regular contributor to the Wikimedia Foundation, I'm very disappointed in this apparent aggressive removal strategy. I understand that keeping the information current and correct is essential, but as DataFlex is used in Many Many large and small organisations I don not understand why its removal. Personally I have been on the Committee of the Independent DataFlex Developers And Users Group http://www.ddug.org, organizing annual conferences in the Asia Pacific region since 2000. I'm the director of a DataFlex Specialist Consultancy http://www.28it.com.au. Among our customers are large insurance companies, companies dealing with government data, as well as small industrial companies. Some have '90's style application wanting/needing to go to Mobile/Touch (while maintaining their investment in DataFlex code), others are on the Windows platform (formerly called Visual DataFlex). Removing the DataFlex and Visual DataFlex pages is a bad idea. However the DataFlex community could do a better job in improving the information on these pages. So I guess thanks for pointing out that this should be a priority, the potential deletion certainly woke us up..Mkuipers (talk) 21:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The two references provided include one dictionary definition of the word "gajari" in Assamese and one link to a newspaper article with text that cannot be translated by a service like Google Translate. There is no indication within the article as to why the subject is notable (it does not appear to have received any awards). A Google search turns up a series of book launch announcements but no substantive discussion of the book. If there is an article in the Assamese Wikipedia (?) it is not linked here and I am unsure how to conduct a search for it. KDS4444 (talk) 12:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Some clarifications. The Gajari Dot Com community is a closed facebook group of 9000 member.

Comment-Please be aware that Facebook is not considered a WP:RELIABLE SOURCE of information for establishing notability, and any recreation you make of this article which depends on Facebook alone as a standard of that notability will also likely result in a deletion, even if the Assamese article is never deleted (different Wikipedias have different standards for notability). If you recreate the article repeatedly, the subject may become WP:SALTed, which I doubt is your intent.

Apparently not notable by our standards. I wanted to add a reference to support at least something that is written in the page, but couldn't find a single one in Gbooks, Gnews or Gnews archive.

Mexican film that apparently has not won any awards and has not been the subject of non-trivial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. The only reference given in the article as it stands is to a dictionary of filmmakers in the third world (which is a directory); a Google search under the Spanish title turned up a number of other trivial mentions but no actual discussion.

Redirect Keep: Well it does seem to be minor. I've found a Spanish plot summary (and cited it) but little else. Suggest we merge and redirect to René Cardona with a brief mention, in fact I'll put one there now.Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:55, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I added a couple of refs from Erik's Google Books, and then a different search revealed the New York Times review from 1939 (God bless their archive), so I've added a section on Reception as well. As we now have multiple reliable sources, I've changed my !vote to Keep. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:37, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep because Google Books shows Spanish-language results with the keywords "El cobarde" "René Cardona" René Cardona. This film may not have English-language coverage, but the results seem to show that books about Mexican films have covered this. Can a Spanish-speaking editor review the results and provide their feedback? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)18:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Aunque me parece que la mayoría de los resultados son sólo ejemplos de menciones triviales en varios directorios del cine mexicano, si fue revisado en el New York Times, entonces ...

Keep -- I'll repeat my comments from a recent debate over deleting a similar article: A few years ago, to improve Wikipedia′s rather sparse coverage of the U.S. Navy in World War I, I embarked on a solo effort to develop an entire series of articles on the vast section patrol program of incorporating civilian ships and craft into the Navy. (Wikipedia's coverage of the U.S. Navy is very biased toward the American Civil War, World War II, and very recent naval operations.) I wrote hundreds of articles covering the various boats and ships, and Wikipedia's coverage now is more or less complete, subject to new sources of information arising. A few of the ships and craft appear in Navy and other records under the name and SP numbers they would have had if they had been commissioned, but they never were. For the sake of completeness and to eliminate all confusion, I included these in my project when I could find out enough about them to do so. Their notability derives from the association with the section patrol program, not from their individual histories. It always disappoints me to see the nomination of real history articles for deletion when Wikipedia retains so many trivial articles on science fiction characters and video games and whatnot, but if this really is taking up too much room on a server and needs to be deleted, then please ensure you retain the knowledge imparted in the deleted article by including all relevant information on a shipindex or other page elsewhere in Wikipedia so that knowledge of the vessel is not lost. If you are not going to do that, then please leave the article alone. Mdnavman (talk) 12:47, 8 March 2017 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]
I agree with you on the fictional cruft, I've always thought there should be a fiction Wikipedia separate from the real enyclopedia. If you want to work on making a list that has images and info on the different SP ships I'd down to help. IazygesConsermonorOpus meum13:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In response to Mdnavman's comments above, one way to handle this would be to have a list of ships in this situation (eg, registered for possible service with the USN but never acquired) - the sourcing seems more likely to establish notability for such a group rather than the individual ships. Nick-D (talk) 10:51, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As this was a small watercraft never actually acquired or commissioned by the US Navy there's no reason to think that sufficent sources are available to establish notability. The article's title is misleading. Nick-D (talk) 10:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, which is sourced entirely to primary sources and blogs with no evidence of real reliable source coverage in real media shown at all. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which a band is entitled to have an article just because they exist; real reliable source coverage, supporting a real claim of notability that passes NMUSIC, must be present for an article to become earned. Bearcat (talk) 01:17, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Therobmilne:. Just my opinion and I am only one editor, but everything you added today is specific to the company itself, not the topic of the page. Are you able to provide sources other than the company website that talk about the topic? Also, can you review the conflict of interest notice left on your talk page in January last year and make the appropriate disclosures if applicable? --CNMall41 (talk) 19:14, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clearly is an advertisement for one company's technology. This article violates so many style guidelines (starting with the title - we do not put acronyms at the end like that in titles) it is beyond a rescue. Doing a google search on the company all I find is its founder Nandini Jolly doing the usual self-promotion. Her personal article is also up for deletion since it is also very promotional and badly cited. I notice very few dates are given, so another argument is that it is too soon to meet notability requirements. Things seem to start in 2014 or so? Maybe some day a well-cited article on the combined person, her company, and a very short mention of the company file format, might work. But these are below the threshold in my opinion.

The article lacks sifficient strong sources to pass GNG. Beyond this, the article in a lot of ways over emphasizes Sederholm's importance to the history of the Hill Cumorah Pageant. The decision to end missionary participation was based on a directive from LDS Church president Harold B. Lee given when he visited the pageant in 1973. I have the impression that other changes in the casting were also made higher up. Sederholm was the person implementing these decisions, not the one making them. No other indication that he is notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:32, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per User:Metaknowledge. I cannot find any reliable English sources (scholar, books, news), and for the cited source I have to AGF (no google preview).

Appears to be purely promotional material for someone who is in a WP:TOOSOON situation. However, notability is difficult to assess because all the sources are in Japanese -- if someone could ping wikiproject Japan, that might help.

Non-notable person. Does not meet WP:GNG - coverage found during searches is a mix of passing mentions, blog entries and his own website & social media. Article attempts to inherit notability from the events he has been involved in & the people he has worked with, but that's not enough to pass the GNG threshold.

Strong delete This probably could be speedy deleted as an unsourced biography of a living person created after some date in 2012 (or is it 2010). There are no sources, and even the claim to notability is extremely weak.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:12, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first derby match will not be played until July 19, 2017. There is no indication that the name will be JenkinsEar2K. Currently no support for that title can be found anywhere. This is both WP:TOOSOON and WP:OR. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:44, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Walter can you give me some time? This article was created in anticipation of what will begin in a matter of months. I'm still locating all the sources. How much time do I have? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolyfett (talk • contribs) 01:05, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Generally a few days while editors look for sources to verify if the event is notable or not. The main issue is that there are no sources for the name itself. There may actually be a derby (or rivalry cup) here, but there's not enough to support that now. A similar thing happened with the Hudson River Derby. Fans created the page. It was deleted. Matches were played and it became notable. It moved around but it was eventually populated and all objection to its existence was silenced. Check the AfD and the edit history on the page.

Ok Walter thank you for the understanding of the process. I'm in contact with several fans of both soccer clubs and I was trying to assist in getting the article created prior to the actual matches in July. I've edited articles before, but never have I created one from scratch like this one. I'll save the article template since it took so long to create, then I will attempt to post again if the current article eventually gets deleted. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolyfett (talk • contribs) 02:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy/Draftify for the time being. This might be notable in the future, and the creator needs more time on it anyway. Not ready for the prime time. No such user (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Generally with this rivalries a first name is proposed, but then the fanbases of the teams find something else completely. By July 2017 something else might be proposed, and it could be something else in 2020. Or by the time the match is whistled both teams are in the division cellar and this is airing only to diehards on Sun Sports so it won't matter what the name is. Make sure a rivalry is relevant before creating an article, lest we end up with embarrassments like the Civil ConFLiCT. Nate•(chatter)20:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first reference is to a book review of a compiled diary, the second is to a blog, the third is to another blog (as near as I can tell), and the fourth is to a collections listing (in which the subject's name is mentioned and some of her photographs are held). None of these supports a notability claim for the subject herself, which would require non-trivial discussion in multiple reliable secondary sources. Having a [seemingly notable] mother with the exact same name makes this more complicated. KDS4444 (talk) 00:04, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, I concur with Piotrus; coverage of her papers seems and papers, in my opinion, lend her some notability. Also, there seems to be reliably sourced information about this individual beyond what is in the diary (depending on what you think of Parker Publishing). I think that lulu.com is a vanity press and often not considered a reliable publisher. The published version of her diary is published by this house, and coverage of her papers seems largely from before they were published as a diary, so I do not think the diary is notable itself as a published book, and I do not know if Footsteps in the Dew would count as a reliable source. I don't think an article called, the diary of Ysabel Birkbeck or the papers of Ysabel Birkbeck would make much sense, and the article should probably be of her with the bulk of the material being about her war experience based largely on her papers rather than being of her papers with a a small amount of material about her life coming from other sources.

Note, her mother, who I think is even more suitable for inclusion as an article in Wikipedia, has a page with the same name but different capitalization, Ysabel birkbeck (and created at the same time by the same editor). So especially if the article is kept, this issues will need fixing. Smmurphy(Talk)17:30, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- The medical mission to Serbia was a notable (if obscure) aspect of WWI. The publication of her diary points to her notability. I agree the article on the other lady needs fixing. I would suggest renaming that to Ysabel Birkbeck (toymaker). Peterkingiron (talk) 19:17, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This is an article by a new editor. It is an excellent opportunity for everyone concerned to offer constructive support rather than threatening the article with deletion.--Ipigott (talk) 10:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and a gentle reminder to follow WP:BEFORE when nominating an article for deletion. A simple Google search finds plenty of sources demonstrating the subject's notability. Pburka (talk) 16:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
