He was a late arrival to the company, having first been assigned to the Office of Strategic Services for a planned mission to jump into Nazi-occupied Warsaw that was cancelled when the Russians took the area. Lesniewski served honorably during the European campaign but his rank (Private First Class) does not make him notable under WP:SOLDIER and there are no decorations on record.

It was the part of North Korea Nuclear deal. - page #3 , U.S. promised to provide North Korea with the formal assurance of peace and Security to North Korea. From my understanding, the current nuclear & ICBM issue would have been removed already, if the agreement was proceeded, I was able to figure it out this information just only a few days ago because of the news release from Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (Press Release Date: 5 Sept 2017) [1] [2] [3] [4]

With the issue ofWP:CRYSTALBALL, the issue of WP:CRYSTALBALL raised last month August, because people (including myself) did not know whether there was already signed Initial Peace Treaty between U.S. and North Korea via Agreed Framework. However, it is now we know the fact and so the issue ofWP:CRYSTALBALL can be cleared.
It's my understanding, concerning the motivation of the peace treaty : there is a clear consensus about the abandonment of Nuclear weapons and Chemical weapons of North Korea.
However, there are some suggestions of the peace treaty partner with North KoreaDPRK via experts in this field.
- That is the reason behind of the subject: [[Peace Treaty with North Korea],
Regarding the comment on Talk page of the changing name: Please refer to proposed subjects below
I believe that it would be hugely favorable for us to have one of the topics above on Wikipedia. There are several topics about North Korea missile tests & crisis on Wikipedia, but as far as I know, there is no space for the summarized advice and opinions from the global experts on this topic.
As Wikipedia is one of the primary live Global Encyclopedia on Internet, it would be advantageous to have room for subject above on Wikipedia,

An article on a defunct social-network start-up company.

The most detailed discussion that I am finding for either brand name is an article early in its lifespan in the Star-Tribune ([11] – via HighBeam (subscription required) ) but that is effectively home-town start-up coverage and not, I think, sufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:NWEB.

Non-notable "motion picture music executive, supervisor, composer, publisher and studio musician". Long list of credits, but length does not equate to notability. The references generally fall into one of the following categories: non-selective roster-like listings, such as IMDb, list of invited speakers and the like; commercial sites where the subject sells his work; or passing references. Before I had started cleaning it up, a number of the references did not support the claims in the article; some had nothing to do with the subject at all.
Barone seems to have no significant awards and no notable work, either in film or recording. His film work credits are on the order of "music supervisor", "executive in charge of music," etc., as distinguished from composer, except on a few minor works. His recording credits is essentially as a studio musician or arranger.
The article was created by User:Hollywood Silicon, who only edited for a week in October 2009; and who has made no other contributions to Wikipedia other than to this article. Most recent substantive edits have been made by User:Marcusbarone, but are little more than an unreferenced catalog of non-notable work. The editor's ID suggests he is the individual who is the subject of the article.

The article notes:
In a timeline titled "Hotel technology through the years", the article notes:Some, like the Four Seasons Hotel Austin and the Driskill Hotel, have upped the ante. They offer fast wireless Internet access in public areas -- the lobby, the bar, the restaurant, many of the conference rooms, and at the Four Seasons, even the pool.
The Four Seasons, as a test case for Wayport, was the first hotel in the world to have a wireless Internet network, in 1997. But only now do some guests come equipped with wireless Ethernet cards that allow them to use the service.
1997: Four Seasons Hotel Austin is the first hotel to install a high-speed wireless Internet network.
The article notes:
Do you think they’ll shoot an episode of “The Crown” in Austin? If so, they absolutely must use the Four Seasons Hotel Austin as a location.
Why so? Because Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II stayed there in 1991.
...
As the venerable luxury hotel celebrates its 30th anniversary, we dig into its pictures and stories at the Austin Found blog. U.S. Presidents have included Presidents George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush, as well as Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, although the latter two did not spend the night.
The hotel has hosted royalty and heads of state from Saudi Arabia, Spain and Australia. Two who surely appreciated the full-size beds: Former British Prime Minister John Major (6 feet) and former Mexican President Vincente Fox (6 feet, 4 inches).
Sports legends Willie Mays, Pete Rose and Joe DiMaggio rested their weary frames here, as did Hollywood luminaries Gregory Peck, Lauren Bacall, Rod Steiger, Robert DeNiro, Robert Duvall and Debbie Reynolds.
The media were represented by Walter Cronkite, Jim Lehrer, Mike Wallace and Rupert Murdoch — a more-frequent but extremely quiet visitor to our town during his recent courtship of Texas model and actress Jerry Hall.

Timeless elegance and Texas hospitality – that’s what the Four Seasons in Austin is all about. The iconic brand’s hotel in the state capital city lives up to its reputation for the latest amenities, attention to detail and fastidious service.
The article notes:
A chance to buy "the best hotel in one of the strongest markets in the nation" doesn't come along often, Strategic Hotels and Resorts CEO Raymond Gellein Jr. said.
That's why the Chicago-based company was quick to express interest when the 291-room Four Seasons Hotel Austin went on the market this year.
Strategic Hotels and Resorts said Monday it will pay $197 million for the luxury hotel, buying it from Lodging Capital Partners and Prudential. The transaction is expected to close by month's end.
The article notes:
Suddenly, two high-profile downtown Austin hotels are on the market.
The building that is home to the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, 98 San Jacinto Blvd., is for sale, a hotel spokeswoman confirmed Friday. The news came just hours after the developer of the W Austin Hotel, at 200 Lavaca St., revealed in a securities filing Thursday that a company had been hired to market that building, as well.
The Four Seasons is owned by Lodging Capital Partners and Prudential; the W is owned by a partnership led by Austin-based Stratus Properties Inc.
...
The 291-room Four Seasons was built in 1986 and renovated extensively in 2007 and 2014. The Travis Central Appraisal District valued the property at $106.8 million in 2014.
The article notes:
Although it lacks the historic charm of the Driskill Hotel and haute, refreshed style at the enormous new JW Marriott, this Four Seasons, located two blocks east of Congress Avenue, remains Austin's most luxurious property, an exceptional endeavor purpose-built to impress even hard-to-please travelers.
The article notes:
Since opening in 1986, Four Seasons Hotel Austin has maintained its reputation for elegance and top-notch hospitality. Situated along Lady Bird Lake, just a stone’s throw from the Congress Avenue Bridge, the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel has the benefit of peaceful privacy from its tucked-away spot in lively downtown Austin.
The property’s central yet secluded locale has attracted guests traveling both for business and pleasure, and made it a favorite of visiting musicians and celebrities.
The hotel is undergoing a massive renovation, which will be completed in the fall of 2017, enhancing the current 291 guest rooms and adding three more (plus five new suites).

I consider a hotel notable if it has received "significant coverage in reliable sources", not if it was build before 1930. If you are looking for something "exceptional", this hotel is "the first hotel to install a high-speed wireless Internet network" and has had noteworthy guests like Queen Elizabeth II, Gregory Peck, Walter Cronkite, Jim Lehrer, Mike Wallace, Rupert Murdoch, etc.

The proposed target article says they have more than 100 hotels. What's so special about this one that it stands out from the others? Or are you proposing that the parent article contain a list of all 100+ properties? – no other hotels have this special claim: "The Four Seasons [in Austin], as a test case for Wayport, was the first hotel in the world to have a wireless Internet network, in 1997." The proposed target article can have a section discussing hotels like Four Seasons Hotel Austin. When that section becomes too big, then a spinoff can happen to a "List of Four Seasons Hotels".

C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
Why wouldn't we just delete the offending line about the book? I had another look at those interviews. Are you under the impression that New York Magazine, Newsweek, Entrepreneur and the Financial Times all do whatever a publicist says. Not sure that is how media works. there was a good Times article about church and state in media. what you are saying goes against FCC regs. You need industry experts to weigh in here, sorry. Otherwise you run the risk that this sounds like three guys in a room who just don't like the fact that a woman is coming out with a book. I can't believe I am spending this much time defending a company I once edited so many years ago but it reads like a pile-on. There are so many pages on Wiki that are about nothing, this is about one of the few women entrepreneurs out there. I had a look at similar companies and you don't hold others, like Thrillist at all to the same standard. Even other female run companies, Brit + Co with much more promotional language and all the Rs is exactly what you think doesn't work here passes muster. Really sounds like a personal vendetta on a person you don't like -- which I'm sure is NOT what you intend -- but that is how it reads. Arabbitortwo (talk) 14:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

This is a notable journalist. A simple Google of her name turns up countless national articles in every major newspaper outlet in The United States.

Advertising; apparently part of a promotional campaign, and,astoundingly, here from 2007--a great deal of copyediting has been done without dealing with the fundamental problems. The founder of the firm is a professional press agent, and has taken care that there is a good deal of press.

He did want the article free of any bias and kept diplomatic but that has been changed by a recent contributor who has added a certain bias. If there was a perceived bias before the recent changes, that was never intentional.
If the page stays it is better to remove all mention of any other band member’s names and keep it a simple biography of Benjie Bollox which is exactly what this page is about anyway. I think being amicable and removing any bias whatsoever on all sides is a positive option.
If redirection is the option, redirecting to The Visitors page which has very little information about the band and has been written in bias by the same recent contributor would just continue the issue about bias. Considering any issues about notability, it would make more sense to redirect to UK Subs considering that is the main focal point in his notability. According to Google, when people Google Benjie Bollox they also Google other UK Subs members ColonelDavy (talk) 11:41, 30 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ColonelDavy (talk • contribs)
The fact that when the page was started filled with unreliable and unverifiable and original research should be enough reason alone to remove the page as it should have been deleted when it was created as it breached so many guidelines. According to Wikipedia, ″the phrase ′original research′ (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist″.
Also, the recent additions breach verifiability, are a conjectural interpretation and do not improve the article. They are questionable and focus on and magnify tiny details around events irrelevant to the article. According to Wikipedia guidelines, ″material about living people that is sourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately″. The recent material also goes against the neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. According to Wikipedia neutrality guidelines, ″If your viewpoint is held by an extremely small minority, then—whether it's true or not, whether you can prove it or not—it doesn't belong in Wikipedia″.
Bare notability is another reason for deletion, as the article just minimally meets Wikipedia's notability standards as it is presented with very few references. The article also does not contain high-quality secondary sources. According to Wikipedia, ″Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity″. The topic has not ″received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject″ (Wikipedia). Most of the sources lack ″editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability″ (Wikipedia). Wikipedia also states that "The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability.″. This subject of the article has not gained significant attention from independent sources. Wikipedia states ″No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally.″ ColonelDavy (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
