Yet another corporation article started by someone who appears to be closely connected to the subject and repeatedly used as a dumping ground for promotional marketing material by COI (possibly paid) editors.
All the online coverage and mentions of the company I was able to find appear to be primary sources (press releases, company announcements, talks given by company representatives, etc.), trivial mentions, or thinly veiled public relations postings. There is a lack of significant, reliable secondary coverage needed to establish notability per WP:NCORP. Fails WP:NCORP, specifically WP:CORPDEPTH.

Previously nominated in 2006, even back then this could only garner a "no consensus to delete". Clearly fails WP:ORG, is actually very near a A7 if it were not for the multiple contributors John from Idegon (talk) 21:51, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no possible basis for notability -- local interest only, and no third party sources at all. The earlier afd refers to the existence of some, but they all seem to be trivial or mere notices. DGG ( talk ) 23:36, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Isha Sesay. I would say merge, but I can't find any reliable secondary sources on the topic, so the existing line there is probably sufficient. MarginalCost (talk) 12:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is a non-profit organization for the education of girls in Africa. Some of them are poor, maybe most. Do you really want to put the policy's of notability over that girls fate? It's worth a page here at least. In August 2018 there were more then 600 girls at the age from 12 to 18 participating in it <- this is notable. My opinion. Tlwm (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't see how not having a Wikipedia article is going to affect the organization. Moreover, the article as written almost exclusively cites the organization's own material, which is not reliable. Hosting unverifiable content on Wikipedia helps no one. signed, Rosguilltalk01:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is this again a size does matter discussion? Those girls learn to have self-confidence and to keep a household or even an own enterprise in some cases, maybe even states. That can have very positive effect on a society. This is why I think this organization is notable. People from Africa use the Wikipedia, too. So.....?!? Tlwm (talk) 15:21, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tlwm: I understand your concerns. No one is saying that the organization is not important, or does not do good and important work. The presence of a Wikipedia article isn't intended to be a value judgement; there are plenty of bad people with Wikipedia articles, and plenty of good people without articles, and that's okay. Wikipedia's standard of inclusion is notability, which is usually measured, under the General Notability Guideline, by whether multiple reliable secondary sources have written about the subject. At the moment, all the sources cited are either from the organization itself, or not sufficiently independent of it. (The What We See article is somewhat closer, but it's almost entirely an interview with the founder, not independent reporting.) In the case of UNICEF you mention, there are several independent newspapers, academics, and foundations that have written about its work. That isn't saying UNICEF is a better organization, it's just that Wikipedia now has enough information written from a neutral party to base an article off of.
@MarginalCost:I see what you mean. I will keep searching. This small organizations have a huge potential, because with education you change the whole continent. 600 girls means maybe 500 moms or more with around 4 children in Nigeria. All will be able to learn something and give it to their children..... The importance of this overwhelming. They do not teach (pro or contra) religion in that school, which means they learn something useful. I think the importance and notability (without third party sources) can not be overstated here. — Btw. Am I the only one who find it very problematic that the Wikipedia seams to record just well established Organizations/Artists/Labels/etc.? Doesn't make this the wiki itself obsolete? I know Isha Sesay since around ten years (by watching CNN Int.). I know she is worth my trust. This policies about notability strangle the wikipedia. Tlwm (talk) 14:38, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tlwm: we're getting closer, but still probably not. The issue is that the article doesn't really provide significant coverage of the organization itself. Check out WP:ORGDEPTH for a more detailed look at the expectations for significant coverage. MarginalCost (talk) 18:16, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill and MarginalCost: Another argument, if I am from Africa and want to find out about W.E. Can Lead, I will not search for Isha Sesay. If you want to find out information (which is the purpose of an encyclopedia) on the UNESCO, will you search for Audrey Azoulay? Isha Sesay is the patron for W.E. Can Lead. Tlwm (talk) 14:57, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I spoke in favor of a redirect. If they search for the article title they will be redirected. MarginalCost (talk) 15:09, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That will not allow to inform about that project, and would be as far as I know also a breach of Wiki policies (of notability and the relevance of sources). What can I write here? The strict interpretation of this policy leads to no new articles on independent topics. Tlwm (talk) 15:49, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill and MarginalCost: So you want to know about a Ford F150 you search for Henry Ford, to find a one liner in Henry Ford's article? ....?!?... There are over 600 children and multiple adults involved in this project. You find 600 children who else highly likely will end in some kind of poverty irrelevant? :| Tlwm (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is not really a useful line of argumentation: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a humanitarian outreach organisation. From what I see in the guidelines, there's no provision for a moralistic exception to what qualifies as a subject for/what constitutes a proper article. If it's that important a group, someone is bound to have done objective reporting on it. PaulCHebert (talk) 06:33, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill and MarginalCost: I merged it into Isha Sesays page and created a redirected in the W.E. Can Lead page. Please prevent User PaulCHerbert again from destroying it, he has deleted a lot in articles I have done before. He follows me and destroys my work. Tlwm (talk) 15:06, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@PaulCHebert This is not how the world works. Else I would not need to discuss here. -- Yes, this is an encyclopedia, that is why I added it. Tlwm (talk) 15:48, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken the bold step of redirecting the article in question to the relevant section in the founder's article and removing the deletion notice. PaulCHebert (talk) 18:14, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article's creator has moved the relevant content to a section within the article about the organization's founder. Replacing the article with a redirect to that destination seems like the best possible solution. PaulCHebert (talk) 20:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot verify that this TV series ever aired. If it didn't, it clearly fails WP:TVSHOW and merits deletion. If it did reach air, the current article certainly doesn't demonstrate the show's meeting WP:GNG, and I couldn't find any evidence or coverage of this show after a quick look around. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I also tried searching for it when I was tagging and couldn't find a mention of it. The article talks about a pilot being completed in 2010 (when the article was created) but nothing has been mentioned. I also believe that, even-though my opinion seems unpopular in AfD, there is no harm in even deleting a might-be-valid article if it's currently crap. There is no loss and later on someone, if needed, can recreate it with real sources and information (and not sourcless information or sourced to a blog like there is now). --Gonnym (talk) 20:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article fails WP:GNG because the topic is poorly sourced, and appears to be about a defunct project that was never notable.

Keep Again, I have to ask why you and Bagumba are so intent on purging JBA articles? The pushing incident got major press, including in newspapers that wouldn't usually cover the JBA. Also, there were several bios from him from the schools he coached at before the Ballers, so it's not as if there was nothing before the incident. Also, you must not have looked hard for sources, since this is pretty substantial and from his playing days. ~EDDY(talk/contribs)~ 01:44, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I can't speak for Bagumba, but I personally believe most of the JBA articles that have been created fail WP:GNG and that inappropriate reasoning is being used to try and keep them. The Chicago Tribune article you posted is a viable source in my opinion, but it isn't enough to change my view. Also, I am curious as to why you created the Brandon Phillips AfD discussion but are voting to keep the Eddie Denard article, even though both subjects have received similar coverage (a lot of coverage for a single incident and one/two other articles). Same for Taylor Kirkham, Caleal Walker, Niles Malone, etc., who received even less coverage. Runningibis (talk) 02:19, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I created the Phillips discussion because he was really only known for one event. Denard, on the other hand, has been a coach at several other places and had a playing career. Looking back I probably would have just left the Phillips article alone. I fail to see the incorrect reasoning, and I hope that others will judge whether thee coverage will be necessary to keep -- hopefully so. ~EDDY(talk/contribs)~ 03:27, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great find. This is a team that played in the National Basketball League (China) in both 2013 and 2014. In both years they played in Shaanxi, but apparently the name change to "Shaanxi Wolves" did not happen until right before the 2014 season. From what I could find, their import player in 2013 was Craig Smith (basketball player) (the subject of that interview) and their import in 2014 was Keith Benson. I can find no reference collaborating the claim that Denard played on that team. His name also doesnt appear here. The NBL season runs in the summer, and considering the fact that Denard played in the 2013-14 NCAA season he couldn't have played for them in 2013. In 2014 the team changed its name from Hong Kong Bulls. I I think he did try out for the team in summer 2014, obviously before the name change (thus before the NBL season), but probably did not make it because of the injury. But I could be wrong as this discussion shows. Timmyshin (talk) 17:13, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLP1E: "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual." This coach from Lavar Ball's fledgling Junior Basketball Association received a blip in news coverage for shoving a player. Aside from that coverage, fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage from multiple independent, reliable sources. Bios from his schools are not independent to prove notability. Does not meet WP:NHOOPS.—Bagumba (talk) 06:50, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's no significant independent coverage of him, so WP:GNG is not met. He clearly fails WP:NHOOPS and his only head coaching position was as the Chicago Ballers head coach--and that gig sure didn't last long. Attacking a player does not show notability and is the only thing he's been covered for. Papaursa (talk) 01:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. Coverage found in searches for additional independent, reliable sources is limited to name checks and short passing mentions. The sole source in the article is a tertiary source that provides some coverage (link), but not finding much else. Qualification for an article is reliant upon having received significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources, but said coverage in multiple sources does not appear to exist.North America100019:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to husband's page, United States Senator Elbert D. Thomas, or possibly keep. Obit in the Washington Post, shorter one in the Hartford Courant , presumably from a wire service. The thing that makes me wonder about keeping is that her kept diaries and papers were given to an archive and they have gotten some recent attention because they were involved in Nazi Germany and Holocaust rescue work. E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:50, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – There is no default notability for members or leaders of the LDS Primary Association whatsoever, and no guideline page states such.

Non-notable director, media coverage cited by the article is either from film festival listings (not independent), softball interviews for publicity (also not independent). Google searches through English and Hebrew media uncovered much the same, alongside some mere mentions in Haaretz and Mako for screening (but not winning) at Cannes. Does not meet general notability guideline.
Meishar has won a "Spotlight Gold Award" from the Spotlight Short Film Festival, but this award does not appear to be notable and thus does not satisfy subject-specific notability guideline for creative professionals. Reportage in the Mako link above (not mentioned by the article) claims that her films have won some awards at Israeli film festivals which also appear to be non-notable.
I had previously nominated the article for deletion by PROD but was blocked by the article creator, who then provided additional sources. However, these sources were more of the same sort of coverage in film-festival publicity websites and cannot be considered independent. I pinged the article creator on the talk page requesting better sources, and have not received a response. signed, Rosguilltalk18:41, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article fails WP:GNG and WP:TOOSOON because she lacks WP:SIGCOV proving notability, but may become a notable director in the future. The sources in the article and found in a search I did are all either WP:ROUTINE coverage or are not independent of the articles subject. The possibility of her becoming a notable director, writer or producer in the future is pure WP:CRYSTALBALL and does nothing to help demonstrate her notability now.

Weak notability, written to promote the subject. Either need to completely rewritten but I failed to find reliable sources.

Delete This article fails WP:GNG because its sources are either invalid (YouTube), self-published (his own website), or are trivial WP:ROUTINE coverage.

Article about a company, not reliably sourced as passing WP:CORP standards of notability. The references here are both directly affiliated primary sources, not notability-supporting media coverage: one is a directory profile on the self-published website of its industry marketing association, while the other is a press release on the self-published website of an organization with which it signed a sponsorship deal. As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because primary sources like this technically verify that they exist -- a company has to have media coverage, in reliable sources they are not directly affiliated with, to be considered notable per CORP. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – I would argue that being Canada's first speed shop would make it notable, but there are no policies that say that notability is derived from that. I couldn't find any sources sufficient for WP:GNG and a redirect to Bay Street doesn't make sense, given that there's no in-depth history section there, so a deletion is probably the best option.

Does not meet WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON. The extent of his professional football career was a tryout with the Jacksonville Jaguars[2]. In college, he did not win any national awards or attract significant, non-trivial national media coverage as a player.
Keep. It is long established that WP:NCOLLATH is an inclusionary standard and that college players who satisfy WP:GNG may also be included. Saint Juste was one of the leading rushers in college football's Division I FBS with > 1,500 yards in 2017. He received coverage in multiple reliable sources and thus passes under GNG. Regardless of whether he makes it in the NFL, he has clear notability from his college career. Cbl62 (talk) 18:33, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The stories about his verbal commitment from high school and making the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl are WP:ROUTINE news coverage for many high school/college football players, many of whom do not meet Wikipedia notability standards. Also, being the MVP of a Division I team is not a sign of notability. Some of those stories (like the Western Carolina one) concern the team more than just Saint Juste. Arbor to SJ (talk) 20:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that you will find that many of those examples are actually WP:NOTROUTINE. Sure, some are by nature, but others provide more detail than we find for the typical college athlete and far surpasses the standards set in WP:ROUTINE for sports of "sports scores" -- further, WP:ROUTINE references specifically the notability of events and not people.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While many of the articles of the 1,000+ articles I found are routine (e.g., passing mentions in game coverage or mere transactional announcements), many others represent significant coverage with details of Saint Juste's life and accomplishments. The 13 items selected above are but a few of the examples of significant coverage. The essential truth, I suspect, is that any running back who ranks among the top 10 rushers (among several hundred running backs in Division I FBS) in a given year will be the subject of significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources. There are plenty of border-line cases where notability is doubtful, but this is not one of them. Cbl62 (talk) 21:22, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My concern with the selection of articles above is that the articles which demonstrate WP:SIGCOV are all local sources, the ones that are national sources are routine reporting of upcoming games or AP news reports which are about as "routine sports scores" as they come. WP:NCOLLATH specifies national media attention, and I don't see this at all (the Florida article is because he was local to Florida at the time of writing.) SportingFlyertalk06:19, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The introductory language of those two sub-guidelines is clear that they are inclusionary and not exclusionary: "Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline, or other, topic-specific, notability guidelines)."

WP:BIO1E. Non-notable. Sources are GRG, an archived dead link (but the archive link is broken as well), a blocked article of the Chicago Tribune and another dead link. Includes POV trivia She remained mentally sharp until her very last day of life, enjoying talks with her family and friends. » Shadowowl | talk16:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only very sparse WP:ROUTINE coverage of her. There is no guideline that "the oldest x" is notable either. The article is also filled with typical longevity trivia (born, married, had kids, worked, and died) which is not needed. The encyclopedic information in this article, her age, life dates, and nationality is already recorded on various lists where it is easier to view, such as List of supercentenarians from the United States. On a side note, this article is pretty much in the same exact condition it was in when it was deleted the first time. Newshunter12 (talk) 21:05, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to appropriate list(s). The question, always, with these routine nothing-special bios of old people is how best to present them, even assuming they're notable. And someone like this is best presented in a list or lists. Most of the article is fluff (names of relatives, heartwarming story of birth certificate, etc.) and what little is left is easily and compactly summarized. EEng17:37, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect to appropriate list per WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB.

Neither being an as yet unelected candidate for mayor nor serving as fundraiser for a gubernatorial candidate is an article-clinching notability claim in its own right, and getting a blip of local WP:BLP1E coverage for the question of whether or not she could hold both roles simultaneously is not, in and of itself, evidence that her notability in either role has somehow nationalized. The notability test on Wikipedia is not just "anybody gets an article the moment they can show any evidence of any media coverage at all" — we evaluate passage of WP:GNG not just on the number of footnotes present, but on factors like their geographic range, their depth, and whether the context of what she's getting that coverage for is of permanent ten-year test-passing national and international interest. And the coverage here doesn't pass the geographic range or 10YT tests. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but nothing here already gets her over the bar today. Bearcat (talk) 19:12, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I abstain but totally understand the arguments made here. I was myself unclear whether she met the guidelines when writing this article. Thank you Bearcat for the very helpful explanation! RIfoodie (talk) 22:03, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for being udnerstanding RIfoodie! Around election season (no matter the country), we get a lot of candidates who want to make Wikipedia articles, so we've added extra notability guidelines for politicians.

Delete per nom. Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG (the sources in the article and elsewhere for example do not seem to represent SIGCOV in independent sources. The BelfastVibe source for example seems to relate to another person, and the subject here is only mentioned in passing. And the agency bio piece seems to be of the kind that all represented actors might have). Also doesn't appear to meet WP:NACTOR (roles, as listed in the linked IMDB entry for example, seem to be relatively minor). As per nom, a quick search doesn't return any other material SIGCOV examples. Guliolopez (talk) 15:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sourcing might be a small issue, but the TV and film credits - especially the high profile film - conveys notability. Sleeper4000 01:35, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete She needs to have multiple prominent roles in notable production per WP:NACTOR, but the actress appear to have only minor roles or appear in minor productions. She needs more significant roles first before she can qualify for an article. Hzh (talk) 23:27, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, please review WP:NF and in particular WP:NFO, which infers notability if
The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.
Inclusion in festivals around the time of initial release is not evidence of notability. Footnote 3 shows that even minor awards from major festivals, or grand prizes from minor festivals is insufficient. Bongomatic05:01, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Kind Tennis Fan. Also most Google search results about Me or the Dog are actually about a (different) British television show, further establishing this article's lack of notability. —Mythdon03:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Receives only passing mentions in reliable sources. Previously declined PROD for the reason that it does contain mentions in sources, but those are insignificant/unreliable. wumbolo^^^14:14, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Given the little controversy at ANI I'm not gonna !vote here, but I did find a great source about Foxytunes: [3]. There's also [4] but the Haaretz article actually goes into significant detail. However, these are both about Yahoo acquiring Foxytunes so there needs to be coverage of other events to fulfill WP:SUSTAINED. The other sources I could dig up on Foxytunes were a few short Lifehacker articles and short reviews. – FenixFeather(talk)(Contribs)21:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep was Comment(leaning towards maybe delete, consider this a keep if stronger sources are found) Initial looking found a few passing mentions in books ( mostly among list of suggested extensions to install to firefox ). As noted by FenixFeather, there are a few articles on the Yahoo Acquisition and termination of FoxyTunes: TechCrunch on rumors purchase by Yahoo [5], Softpedia on Yahoo dropping FoxyTunes[6], Gizmodo related acquisition to Yahoo's music service termination[7], and some such as this AP article (link is version syndicated into Business Insider) talking about a wave Israeli startups being acquired along with Waze by Google[8]. I've also seen the lifehacker articles as also mentioned above only other thing I saw in my search of news archives was a blog but on owned by ZDNet, Mashable talking about launching of a feature[9]. Ars Technica had a brief mention of it in relation to Yahoo and Rhapsody working together.[10]. Haven't seen anything really that talked about FoxyTunes as FoxyTunes. PaleAqua (talk) 22:05, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KeepComment My understanding is FoxyTunes had a contested PROD on 2 January 2018 for reasons given by nom, it was declined PROD on 19 September 2018 as it had already had a contested PROD.Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Due to controversies on a set of articles of which this is one can I respectively suggest admins only close this and a full 168 hours is allowed before relist and non-admins carefully consider before re-listing. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 00:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am beginning to wonder if this should be a keep? Significant enough to be acquired by Yahoo then run as a brand for 4 or 5 years ... Has international versions. On the opposing side I personally cannot remember nothing about it.Djm-leighpark (talk) 03:06, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Update: now moving to keep. I have improved the article to give the body a little more content and substance. A little more could yet be added from the existing references. On balance I am also minded this had some form of impact over a wide geographical area over a few years. I believe there are sufficent references for the notability requirement. There are some useful wikilinks to other parts of the encylopedia including web browser, toolbox and media player (software). As far as I am aware value would be lost in any plausible merge that I am aware of so I would now be reluctant to compromise to that option. So I am moved to keep.Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:40, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As there is some possibility this is one of a number of articles where a non-admin closure might be regarded as controversial can I respectfully request non-admins closure. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:19, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - sources have been found so now two or three RS so exceeds WP:GNGMerge and redirect to Yahoo or a sub article of. It may be notable/borderline N in itself and the source [11] claims it was one of Firefox's most popular add-ons. ... 8 million users... , but latterly the notability came from Yahoo. Certainly notability does not stop even when discontinued per WP:NTEMP. Widefox; talk00:16, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Improved there's two assertions of notability - 1. software that's been used worldwide by over 8 million people (on all platforms) 2. Yahoo! topic (the fact that it's now dead software is irrelevant for notability per WP:NOTTEMPORARY). Even if WP:N wasn't satisfied, considering it brutally as a product of Yahoo! it would be merge/redirected into Yahoo! not deleted. Doing that would lose the whole backstory, more so that merging the internal only Google Toolbar into Google. For readers it may be best to consider as WP:SPINOUT to keep Yahoo! from having WP:UNDUE while keeping the usefulness of the info in the article. 2. may not need to meet separate N per SPINOUT/that essay I quoted in one of your other AfDs. So 1. - does it meet WP:GNG anyway? yes, it's had significant, worldwide, sustained coverage, including sole articles on it in Haaretz, Ynet, Ghacks, Softonic, Softpedia, combined with significant superlatives or listings in general reading top tier sources like The Daily Telegraph through Wired to lots of computer industry ones etc etc - per the article today. There's enough sources for BLP aspects, and it can make Class C easily so it's not a WP:PERMASTUB. I wouldn't classify being mentioned in an article called "The Best Free Software (2007)", "Review: Top 10 Mozilla Firefox Extensions", "Firefox 3: Top ten extensions" as a passing mention either, no, it counts for notability due to many of them. I was wrong - there is abundant coverage and yet more exist WP:NEXIST. Per 2., as Yahoo! topic, products which aren't notable themselves they would get merged anyhow, not deleted. We have more OK sources to build an article here than there are in the magazine sources etc we use. Seems solid to me on all fronts for a proper topic with history, good work User:Djm-leighpark and User:PaleAqua may want to check the found sources. Widefox; talk16:58, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"significant superlatives or listings in general reading top tier sources" has nothing to do with GNG, and plenty of sources you were referring to are routine press release announcements. "may not need to meet separate N" is not true at all, see WP:NOTINHERITED. wumbolo^^^17:03, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've answered which 3 full articles in RS are enough by themselves, passes GNG. Some of the other 17 currently in the article add to more than those 3. I'm sorry we don't agree but I'm sure other's would like to evaluate them, and any others they may find, so we'll have to agree to differ. (see WP:NOTINHERITED - it not as black and white as asserted, some articles are allowed, not that my view is based on that, it passes GNG) Widefox; talk17:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am minded I would also add Rankin. In my opinion WP:NOTINHERITED's a mess ... surely designed to obfusticate my head within the totality of its situation in its article and diversions to elsewhere: but I seemed to have come away with some sort of takeaway that parent to child ... not always and child to parent ... rarely ... and life is better spent simply doing content and citing. From my viewpoint which its not always universal FoxyTunes operated as an independent brand entity and any merge to parent can end in torment in those circumstances. We are also talking about the software not the organisation. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:45, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes my main point is there's enough sources for GNG. There also seems to be an over strict and incorrect interpretation of GNG/RS at these AfDs that sources must be large and exclusively about the topic. I quote GNG but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. It may be a quick rule-of-thumb for editors to consider the threshold for GNG is about finding 2 (or more) main topic articles. Here 2.5 sources are evaluated by an editor"There is no such thing as 0.5 sources. It's either 0 or 1 (and every publication is limited to 1)." In terms of number of sources yes, in terms of amount of coverage absolutely not per policy, it's perfectly fine to consider smaller sources as being fractional coverage as that fits with policy. Sources can't just be dismissed as 0 as they're half as useful in coverage per policy. It's not binary. That's wrong, period. We have an overwhelming abundance of reliable sources by any normal standard here which per GNG do count. That means that we have unambiguously significant coverage in this AfD (Minor point is things aren't as black and white and there's alternatives WP:ATD, SPINOUT for the benefit of readers. WP:DOM essay seems appropriate considering this/these AfDs.) I think it would help if Wumbolo spelled out which sources they are excluding, and why, and how that compares to other AfDs/articles.Widefox; talk18:48, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to be sufficient in-depth coverage of the subject at this time. Searches return thousands of hits, but they all appear to be the most passing possible of mentions of their url, like here, and truckloads of hits for the Dallas Observer, but only because they've embedded files in hundreds of pages.
The source currently in the article is more along the lines of what we're looking for, but even that described the site as "minuscule", noting that nine plays on one of the news station's playlist reached the top ten in the genre.
Delete Agree with assessment as WP:TOOSOON. It does look like an up and coming competitor to Soundcloud, but results are just "Top X alternatives to Soundcloud" type articles, that usually mention that this service is "little known" and has few users at the moment. When more dedicated coverage turns up, I think this article will be worth creating. – FenixFeather(talk)(Contribs)20:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional. Does not meet GNG. Sources include a deadlink, coverage from an outlet that employed him, and an interview on BBC Asian. BEFORE mainly brings up items from his YouTube channel. Icewhiz (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:GNG. The first source may or may not count, as it has only one paragraph about him in an article about three people (although it may be mentioning him for something notable; I'm not entirely sure), the second is a primary source, and the third is an audio clip which is not available.

Open to be proven wrong on this one. There are certainly sources available, but basically all of them as far as I can tell are passing mentions or routine announcements. I'm just not really seeing a good argument for WP:CORPDEPTH. Best I'm seeing is something like this, which is really no better than a press release, and this, which ain't bad, but it seems like it was copy/pasted from somewhere else given the egregious formatting errors. Although I couldn't tell you from where. GMGtalk12:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails to have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The article currently has only two references One cites a local article that does not mention him, just his wife, and does not support the inline text. The other is a non-independt reference, being a citation to the homepage of his own Firebrand School of Ministry website. Most of his hits on Google are not independent (Facebook, Youtube, Instgram, Amazon, his church, etc.), or press releases. I did find two news stories centered on him. One appeared in the Nairobi News, basically a police report on him being "attacked by youths after he visited a voter registration centre" in the Mathare slums of Nairobi. I should note that notability is not inherited, and being the son of a former member of parliament (Bishop Margaret Wanjiru) does not confer notability. The second was a 2017 story about him entitled "Inspiration Friday" published in 2017 on ghafla, a Kenyan news site, here. But a single substantive story does not create notability. --Bejnar (talk) 05:38, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Boniface Ramsey is not notable, aside from the fact that he sent a number of letters to Catholic bishops warning them about the predations of Theodore McCarrick. Ramsey's involvement in this saga is documented in detail in the Theodore Edgar McCarrick article, and also appears in the articles Gabriel Montalvo Higuera, Leonardo Sandri, Seán Patrick O'Malley. Ramsey's role in the McCarrick saga is notable, and has been adequately documented in these articles. But Ramsey is not notable otherwise, and therefore having his own article is unnecessary. — Lawrence King(talk)06:53, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-Although the nominator has, along with a handful of others, made extremely valuable contributions to Wikipedia regarding the abuse scandal in the Church, I respectfully disagree with the belief that this article should be deleted. Individuals can be discussed widely in other articles, but if their importance rises to a certain level, then it can still become necessary for them to have their own articles. In Ramsey's case, I think it does. He has been the single most important figure in blowing the whistle on McCarrick in the Church for over two decades. While his activities in reporting McCarrick are discussed elsewhere, especially the McCarrick article, they could be covered in greater detail here than that article may allow. It would also be helpful to include personal background information so that the reader can better understand who he is and why he took on such a role. Trying to do that at any of the articles would go beyond their scope. The article should be expanded, and I feel that this is a better course than deleting it. I might be able to help with expansion should the article be kept, but I'll have to see how my schedule looks. Display name 99 (talk) 02:18, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
redirect back to section in McCarrick article. This is not a biography; it's just a one sentence identification followed by a partial narration of the larger train of events. Mangoe (talk) 16:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, there isn't, and his role in the scandal is not a biography. At present what we have is a name and a position, and that's pretty much it. Mangoe (talk) 02:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep His role in the developing scandal is very important. Considering the New York Times Magazine had the story on McCarrick sexually assaulting and abusing seminarians in 2012 and killed the story for political and cultural reasons, there is a lot more to what is going on her than has been well reported.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:GNG, and I'm not entirely sure what "is not a biography" means when it comes to specific Wikipedia policy. There are plenty of stubs on Wikipedia that refer to why a person is notable and do not include a myriad of other details; the lack of sheer quantity of content in an entry isn't a reason for deletion.

A CV of a working cinematographer, with much namedropping about awards but none actually credited to the subject. The closest thing to a reliable source is a New York Times wedding announcement to the now-deleted Donna Bertaccini. Calton | Talk03:02, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As mentioned above, the wedding announcement is really the only the reliable, in-depth reference. The others either do not mention the subject or do so only in passing. For example, this website used as a reference mentions nothing about Molesworth. Perhaps it lends itself to notability of the film, but certainly not to the person. And notability is not inherited. Overall, fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:CREATIVE. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:20, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hi everyone! On the article's Talk Page I argued for Molesworth's notability due to his awards, but I had trouble sourcing them since the award websites were down. I found an alternative reference and added his awards on the main space. That should be sufficient to keep his page. Also, as an aside, I found several pages of cinematographers on Wikipedia that are similar to Molesworth's. (extensive careers but no indicted awards or notability) I was wondering why those were permitted to exist without notability or other flags. I kept them at the article's talk page as well. Missvangie (talk) 13:33, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I argued for Molesworth's notability due to his awards
What awards? All the name-dropping of awards you did were not for Molesworth, but for shows he worked on -- see Notability is not inherited -- not to mention they were all journalism-related, not regarding technical achievements.
I added his awards on the main space
You mean the bit about a "Cine Golden Eagle" and an "International Monitor Award", neither of which you explain who awarded them nor why they are in any way significant. Which is not surprising, since all you did was cut and paste from the website of a manufacturer of camera equipment [12], using the "interview" to sell their merchandise. --Calton | Talk14:05, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly you don't want to have that conversation about the other cinematographer entries I've referenced because they point to a cross section of cinematographers who have wiki entries with far, far less reputable sourcing, and/or bodies of work, than I have easily supplied in Molesworth's entry which demonstrates, fact sources, Molesworth's clear and unequivocal notability. You may not want to have that conversation, you may want to shut down the significance of that conversation, but I will continue to point that out as an issue. It is not an "irrelevant" one. Quite the contrary. Especially when you make comments that suggest just because you don't want to acknowledge my valid and troubling points of a double or triple standard by you and/or wikipedia, you refuse to address a serious issue that all wiki editors should be concerned about. Wikipedia must strive to have fairness and accountability, otherwise, it's difficult to validate its legitimacy.
After all, wikipedia is based on a democratic process not a dictatorial one. Others have in fact been included for cinematographer entries with far less sourced notability across the board, than I have proven with Molesworth.
Regarding your comments on inherited notability: I agree. No, notability is not inherited. There's been no attempt to suggest that as such other than from you. Emmy awards and the like for best film are given for the quality and accomplishments across the board for a film. You have no best picture award for a film journalistically or otherwise with third rate cinematography. It just does not happen. Full stop. If you think it does, please provide sources for a case in point. You demonstrate a basic lack of understanding for the film and television industry by making such a comment. I've included the films that have won awards solely to prove Molesworth is a highly sought after, notable cinematographer to consistently be hired for the outstanding quality of his photography for filmmakers, producers, directors, and broadcasters the world-over. The award winning documentaries he has helmed prove that notability. --Missvangie | Talk03:42, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly you don't want to have that conversation about the other cinematographer entries I've referenced because they point to a cross section of cinematographers who have wiki entries with far, far less reputable sourcing, and/or bodies of work
Clearly you didn't bother reading the link I provided: this is a discussion about Mark Molesworth, and talking about other cinematographers is irrelevant to this article. So no, I'm not going to bother engaging on that.
...reputable sourcing, and/or bodies of work, than I have easily supplied in Molesworth's entry which demonstrates, fact sources, Molesworth's clear and unequivocal notability
"Reputable" "Unequivocal"? YouTube and Vimeo links to his work? WorldCat catalog pages? Award pages which don't even use his name? A camera-equipment manufacturer using an "interview" as an endorsement of their products? A standard, unbylined wedding announcement, which are submitted by the wedding party? You have provided, near as I can tell, NO reliable sources whatsoever nor anything that actually argues for Molesworth's notability.
The award winning documentaries he has helmed prove that notability.
He did not "helm" them, he was the camera operator. And not only is notability not inherited, the awards -- including the Emmys you namedrop -- are JOURNALISM awards, and imply NOTHING about technical achievement. --Calton | Talk03:54, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You made it all the way to #9 with no debatable response to my argument? Wow. That's telling.Take away the Tak Fujimoto link. No problem. What's left? Now let's address all 12 of the other/remaining DoP entries. My point remains the same. You base your whole argument in response to me on one of the 13 that I listed? Seriously? Talk about desperate. I've removed him. There are 12 remaining. Have at it. Because if even one of those entries ends up remaining, the argument about equal standards and justice for all here on Wiki remains. Minor point worth noting, the Tak Fujimoto page mentions no awards, neither does it have proper sourcing. According to wikipedia standards, that article should have several flags.
Vimeo links? Youtube links? There aren't any of those sources on the current edited entry. You are mistaken. Are you seriously suggesting a library source such as WorldCat is not a legitimate source to prove either authorship or notable involvement in a documentary film or television series? Because now that is rich. (Just don't supply WorldCat sourcing on Wikipedia. Their editors don't recognize library sourcing.) Good lord, Wikipedia would be laughed out of any research University. More to the point, I've never based this entry wholly on his award winning ability *for himself*. You keep attempting to bring it back to that argument. I've been supplying proof of his notability as a cinematographer for other legitimate reasons, that you choose to ignore or attempt to conflate, but that hold his notability. Clearly he is a world-renowned DoP. The sourcing I provide shows the depth and breadth of his work for filmmakers and broadcasters the world over. He is notable, because he has a reputation internationally as a Director of Photography helming, yes helming, award winning documentary films, and for his extraordinary body of work. Additionally, If you are the only DoP/cameraman listed on a documentary film you *are* the Director of Photography even if a credit may say "camera" for the cinematographer. It's equivalent to saying "I'm a dentist". Does that not make you a doctor? Hardly. In the documentary filmmaking industry the credit can say photography / camera / cinematographer / Director of Photography. That's a fact of the industry. Similarly, if you are the only photographer noted on the credits of a documentary film, he/she shot the whole film. You are the Director of Photography. You are the one solely responsible for directing the ultimate camera shots and lighting set ups across the board especially when there is no designed lighting designer.
You also conveniently ignore all the reputable and yes unequivocal sourcing supplied such as BBC, PBS, BFI, The NY Times articles links, The New York Press Club. Missvangie | Talk 2:07, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
You made it all the way to #9 with no debatable response to my argument?
No, I scanned your list and your desperately bogus and ill-informed choice leapt out at me. Something I was expecting, by the way, which is why I did it. And as for your "argument": for the THIRD time, because it is completely and utterly irrelevant to THIS article. There is NOTHING to address, because there IS no argument to adddress.
He is notable, because he has a reputation internationally as a Director of Photography helming, yes helming, award winning documentary films
A "reputation" for which you've provided NO PROOF or even indication, not to mention your telling of straight-up falsehoods even within your framing: "helming" means DIRECTING. He's not a film or video director, he's the guy who operates the damned camera under the supervision of the ACTUAL director of each film/video.
You also conveniently ignore all the reputable and yes unequivocal sourcing
"Unequivocal" appears to be yet another word you like to misuse. In fact, not only is almost every single one of those sources mere listings of credits, many don't even mention Molesworth at all. And the New York Times "article" is a wedding announcement: it's not an article in any way, shape, or form, it's a reader-submitted announcement of an upcoming wedding, written by the someone in the wedding party. --Calton | Talk12:04, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be careful about cavalierly denigrating the work of a highly published and regarded film critic's body of work. Sean Malin is an American freelance journalist, who is widely known for his insightful and compelling reviews. He is an accredited journalist at all the major U.S. film festivals every year and as a result of the foregoing, is well known in the film and television community, as an accomplished and discerning film critic. He has published film reviews and interviews with both domestic and international filmmakers and as such makes CineMalin a go to film site for the film and television community. Simply because you may only be learning of CineMalin or Sean Malin, it does not mean he and CineMalin are not highly reputable and highly regarded, and his writing very well known. You've made comments that are not truthful and simply ignorant. Sean Malin is based in Los Angeles and has a significant and serious body of published work if you bothered to actually do the research for the journalist you are talking about. He is a graduate of the prestigious University of Texas at Austin's Masters of Arts program in Media Studies for Film, Television, and Radio and has written often for The Austin Chronicle, Independent Film Project, and Paste, as just a few examples. His significant body of published work is very easy to source. -- Missvangie (talk) 16:32, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sean Malin...is widely known...
No he isn't. And the blog -- and a Blogspot blog, from the look of the design -- shows no evidence that the "film and television community" even knows he exists, based on his massive Twitter numbers, all 553 followers. Care to provide some evidence of this regard? --Calton | Talk17:18, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure most definitely I'll comment. You clearly didn't even bother to source Malin's body of work at even just the Austin Chronicle: https://www.austinchronicle.com/authors/sean-l-malin/. This took no time to source. This alone puts your ridiculous comments to rest. I've only sourced one of the many publications he has written for and continues to write for. I won't waste more time disproving your false statements above given that they stem from your disparaging imagination and are not based in fact. Missvangie (talk) 03:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In response to the statement "Are you seriously suggesting a library source such as WorldCat is not a legitimate source to prove either authorship or notable involvement in a documentary film or television series?" - Yes, WorldCat is a legitimate source to prove authorship or involvement. However, simply being able to verify a statement does not indicate notability, and the discussion here is about notability. I don't think anyone is doubting the veracity of the information you've included in the article; the topic of discussion here is to whether that information meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. As I stated above, I do not believe that it does. I understand that can feel frustrating, especially as you are being paid to write the article. However, that is simply not enough. Jmertel23 (talk) 13:30, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've added two new sources (a Connecticut news source and a NY Press Club profile) detailing Molesworth's awards. Those should account for his notability, under WP:ANYBIO. I hope you can read it again, with new citations and all, and let me know about suggestions to improve it. Thanks. Missvangie (talk) 17:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
One could say the same to you, Calton. The one who clearly does not LOOK carefully at said references is you, because you deleted a perfectly valid reference for Molesworth's award-winning photography. Missvangie (talk) 03:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A news publication is running a feature piece on Mark Molesworth and his cinematography that will run within 72 hours. I will post that as soon as it is live. I've been informed that there will be others as he has been interviewed over the past few weeks by a variety of journalists as a result of the Brooklyn Museum's Basquiat premiere screening he attended. There's also a recent New York Press Club article about him, which I linked in the article. -- Missvangie (talk) 16:32, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So he was hard at work schmoozing the attendees, trying to place stories, eh? Interviews are not really going to help prove notability, especially when their purpose is so transparent. --Calton | Talk17:18, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is a fantasy scenario of yours. It has no basis in truth. The Basquiat film's U.S. premiere at the Brooklyn Museum was on August 30th. Molesworth was in fact approached by a number of journalists for interviews that night, and since based on his cinematography for the film. Why is that problematic for you? I'll tell you why. It's because it doesn't fit in to your personal narrative or agenda that you've crafted out of thin air in your head. You spread falsehoods to disparage and denigrate. It is also worth noting that it is not acceptable professional behavior to troll people off of Wikipedia on their Twitter feed merely because you don't like their work being cited here. That is bordering on harassment. You clearly created a Twitter account precisely to do just that to Mr. Malin. (It is obvious because you have zero followers on Twitter.) It has been noted that you publicly accused Malin; yes, a well known, highly regarded, well-published journalist, of being paid to write his Molesworth interview. That simply is not true and did not happen. It is also an improper move on your part. It's really off base. You are behaving out of bounds on this, and that should be of note and concern for all Wiki editors. Missvangie (talk) 03:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You clearly didn't even bother to source Malin's body of work at even just the Austin Chronicle
The Austin Chronicle is a local alt-weekly that he's contributed some reviews and arts round-ups, a far cry from your claim of "well known in the film and television community". And how about that massive Twitter following one expects from anyone someone "well known in the film and television community", all 553 of them?
Molesworth was in fact approached by a number of journalists for interviews that night
Really. And you know this HOW? And you can document this HOW?
It's because it doesn't fit in to your personal narrative or agenda that you've crafted out of thin air in your head. You spread falsehoods to disparage and denigrate.
You should look up "psychological projection" when you get the chance. If anyone here is spreading falsehoods, it would be you, with your inflated claims and your passing off of bad sources -- a wedding announcement? a manufacturer's promotional website? random credit pages which often don't even use his name? All this so you and Molesworth can make a buck off of the hard-won reputation of this online encyclopedia: THAT should be of note and concern for all Wiki editors. --Calton | Talk14:26, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure you've taken the time to look at the most recent sources I've provided. If not, please do so.
The two links that Calton refers to immediately above are no longer up there on the current article. This article is an ongoing work in progress as am I as a Wiki editor. Having said that, the ones Calton objected to are no longer in the entry, as Calton removed them, and understandably so. I have, however, replaced them both with reliable sources. The NY Times wedding announcement is only in Molesworth's personal section and that is standard for Wikipedia entries.
One new citation I've included is a piece from WestportNow, an online news outlet in the state of Connecticut in the United States. The second is a profile from The New York Press Club and was written by an Emmy award winning anchor/journalist. The third source cites Molesworth's first place award one year for Feature Photography. It is a direct link to the Society of Professional Journalists and its awards page. As such those three are certainly reliable wikipedia sources. Please do read the entire entry carefully with all its current citations. There are many reliable sources cited including BBC, PBS, BFI, The NY Times, etcetera, all listing Molesworth's cinematography credits clearly despite Calton's ascertains to the contrary. Let the FACTS speak for themselves. I'd be very appreciative of your feedback as to edits you might suggest to strengthen the entry. I am not intending to inherit notability of the films he has worked on. What I've been trying to do with his entry is to show that this particular cinematographer has had a prolific career in the domestic and international broadcast film and television arenas for several decades now. He has an industry record decades long of having been a Director of Photography on many award winning films. His body of work is the empirical evidence and is easily sourced online by many reputable cites other than Wikipedia. He is also an award winning DoP and still photographer himself as previously discussed.

Delete. This term is a synonym for the "osteopathic lesion" proposed by A.T. Still, as we already explain in our Osteopathic manipulation article. It is a bogus concept[13] and not discussed outside the fringe/in-universe world of osteopathic publication, or recognized in legitimate medicine. Any mention of this topic (for example from the linked Snyder piece) would be better incorporated into Osteopathic manipulation per WP:NOPAGE.

The previous discussion noted three reliable sources which are currently mentioned in the "Further reading" section. The Linux Format source is the only reliable and independent significant coverage of this window manager. The article in Linux Magazine, issue 64, was written by Nico Golde, who is affiliated with suckless.org, which is the former host of wmii. So Golde is not independent here. The other Linux Magazine article, from issue 54, covers WMI, the predecessor of wmii, so it can't be used to demonstrate notability of its successor wmii. wumbolo^^^21:06, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sources are usually considered unreliable (especially for notability) when the author is personally related to the subject and has a conflict of interest. wumbolo^^^08:43, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Comparison of X window managers per Widefox. Started looking at this a few days ago and haven't found independent sources. Closest I found is forum mentions and the like. I see that there is a mention in "Mac OS X For Unix Geeks, 4th Edition" ISBN978-0-596-52062-5 but doesn't appear enough to be notable. My subscription at safaribooksonline is limited, so can't check out in full details, but the search result implies it's just talking about dot files related to wmii. PaleAqua (talk) 20:00, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Few online resources assisting notability with Golde excluded. Antonis is OK and Saunders might be available in an archive somewhere. The WMI predessor is valid provided it is identified as a direct ancestor ... I've seen one statement on a GitHub or something to that but not a lot really. Seems like a weak link compared to other major tiling X window managers. Would possibly do nicely to merge to an article on 'tiling X window managers' if such an article existed ... I dont htink it does. It *might* just be viable to a minimal merge into a near relative, not sure it would merge well into 'Comparison of X window managers' but I'll support it if people feel they can do it. I'd support a draftify if someone thought they were going to work in it, otherwise if none of these delete. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article was written originally as a heavily promotional piece by an editor who appears to have a close connection with the company. It has been somewhat scrubbed of the obviously promotional writing.
A review of the references (in Google Translate since they're all written in Czech) appears to show that they are all mostly published by the company (press releases and the such), affiliated with the company in some way (fifth reference especially), or trivial coverage (non-notable awards, sponsorship initiatives, and basic company information) as defined in WP:NCORP.

Delete. Page was created by a single-use account, and most of the substantive additions to the page have been from single-use IPs or from User:Joedirosa himself: taken together these edits suggest this is a vanity page. None of the footnotes suggest that Mr. DiRosa meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines aside from the fact that he runs the New York Artist Series, and that company already has its own article. So this page should either be deleted or should become a redirect to the company page. — Lawrence King(talk)04:32, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the pages for New York Artist Series and Joe DiRosa and the only history of me making and edits to those pre-existing pages was while I was trying to clean up the presentation.. The New York Artist Series page has been around since 2009 and none of the edits or page creation had anything to do with me. The Joe DiRosa page has been around since before that I believe but apparently from the records someone recreated it back in 2016.. I'm not sure what happened there .. The changes i made were cosmetic in nature and since this is my public image you have posted on here I don't see the problems since the pages were not done up to today's wiki standards.. Now perhaps I should have had a friend make the edits but FunPlusSmart seems to be trying to be vindictive which is definitely against wiki policy.
Oh 3rd thing is I went to go look at the draft for Onox, Inc. and saw a Create Page button instead of the submit article button.. I thought wiki upgraded my account to be able to edit so i made the page and removed the draft.. Once it was pointed out to me that the page shouldnt have been made I returned to the draft version so it could be authorized by whoever does that in the wiki community. For some reason I seem to be under attack.. For some reason this guy has this conspiracy theory which the history of these articles he is attacking proves isnt true. Joedirosa (talk) 09:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Come on.. there have been edits on these pages over 10 years .. I have had people remove all sorts of references, change the contents and I haven't paid attention. Now I go in and just try and clean up the mess its become and you guys are having a heart attack. I didnt even add information I just cleaned up the structure. I'll get someone to post a whole new set of references, links, and information. Just the other day someone removed an article that was originally published on Yahoo as a reference since the company shut down that part of it's editorial. Just because an article was removed from the web after 10 years doesn't mean it wasnt published. Some how this became a witch hunt. Joedirosa (talk) 09:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Since I don't have access to IP information for registered accounts, I withdraw my accusation that these different accounts represent the same individual editor. I still think that the page is not notable enough, but as I said I'm glad to have it become a redirect, which would mean people would still be able to learn about you and your company if they looked you up by name on Wikipedia. — Lawrence King(talk)20:15, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are no press releases cited in those links. Many of the articles are more than a mention, as a matter of fact most are centered on or quote me. There was one wiki goof page cited. I've gone through the articles you guys have created and many of them aren't as relevant as any of these. The Artist Series websites were published for over 12 years with close to 20 million total visitors.

Observer: DiRosa not mentioned at all. Berksluxury: a real estate and luxury products site with an article on mortgages by DiRosa. Eater: a sentence, almost: "Steve Lewis reports that the space that held the club Limelight (and The Avalon) will finally be in use again, but not as a club. Joe Dirosa will now be renting it out:".

Delete, fails GNG. The one source in the article has no link, but is cited as refuge.com. That is the website of a spa, and there is nothing on the site about art exhibitions. The ref is thus likely either not RS or entirely faked. SpinningSpark03:31, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. A Google search turned up zero sources. The only thing relating to the subject is a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of the subject's cremation and memorial service. Straightforward fail of WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 04:04, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Chicago Art Magazine one is not a passing mention. I haven't decided on whether the sources are sufficient, but at least look at them properly first. Hzh (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your results may vary, but my search turned up only interviews and passing mentions of his legendary greatness. Obviously established in the sci-fi/horror art illustration scene, but article has three sources and I cannot find more. GNG Fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:51, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - if we can get some citations for them, the Hugo Award and Chesley Award are pretty significant. Also, he's got an asteroid named after him; how cool is that? ;) BOZ (talk) 13:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn OK, I'll stay away from Sci-fi articles in future. I had looked at the Hugo Award, but when I saw the Wordpress site and the web design, I gauged it for less notability than my esteemed colleagues above do. Article still only has three sources. Anyway, my mistake, apologies and withdrawn. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:48, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: We really need Thai speaker/readers to help assess this one – it's really hard to appraise the quality of the sources already used in the article without having somebody who reads Thai... In the absence of that, I'm leaning in the direction of "keep", as this one seems to meet WP:TVSHOW pretty easily, and has three sources which would seem to indicate that it's gotten independent coverage as per WP:GNG. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am torn here. Does it really deserve an English Wikipedia article if all that can be found are foreign sources, does it make it notable in that regard? It does seem to meet WP:GNG if I ignore what I just said. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 08:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Jovanmilic97 The reason such topics deserve English wikipedia articles is the little-known (in the west) fact that English is the lingua franca in Asia. The Far East is incredibly diverse in terms of languages and writing systems, but it has a strong history of cross-cultural TV exchanges which has increased in recent years due to fansubbing. For this particular show, many Chinese fans are also watching it online (see here) despite not knowing a word of Thai. A Chinese person may not speak much English but he/she will be able to read far more English than Thai, and there are far more Thai-speaking fans who are able to write about the show and its cultural context in English than in Chinese. Therefore the translation process is commonly Thai -> English -> Chinese (or another language). (Another reason is that Google Translate fails with almost all Asian languages, if you don't believe me try the th.wiki article in Google Translate. However, it does a pretty good job translating from English to an Asian language. I believe it's because European languages are much more precise and unambiguous.)

Keep News coverage is good. Here is Google News search results [16]. Note that both sanook.com and SpringNews are recognized as news source by the Google News search earlier, hence should be considered as reliable (Sanook is Thailand's top portal, SpringNews is one of a few news TV channels, Sudsapda is a weekly entertainment magazine by one of Thai top publisher). --Lerdsuwa (talk) 10:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
[E/C] Comment:Lots of coverage in Thai, including in Kom Chad Luek,[17]Sanook[18] & Spring News.[19] While TV series routinely generate a lot of media coverage, not all of which is original and in-depth, there's some here that's more than rehashings of press releases. This Sudsapda article goes a bit into its production background.[20]Sanook reports it generating the highest ratings so far this year among teen series.[21] --Paul_012 (talk) 11:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Paul 012. English sources are preferred is they are of equal or better quality than sources in other languages – that is our only preference. Of course we have to use sources in other languages to write about phenomena in countries that speak other languages, just like basically any other encyclopedia with the ambition to cover the world has done. /Julle (talk) 00:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, at worst redirect to H. D. Premaratne. First, it's not even a person, it's a film. Looking for "Adara Hasuna" or "ආදර හසුන" gives further sources, but I'm not able to adequately search for Sri Lankan movie titles to definitely say that this is a notable film. It certainly gets enough mentions, and has been shown in film festivals around the world, but 1986 is too old to easily find many traces of this. Fram (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding "NFILM"; it has "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career.", which this film clearly does. A full length film is a major part of the career of any notable film maker (well, excluding some extremely rapid film makers like porn directors and the like). The Sri Lanka Daily Mirror considers the movie notable enough to give it some attention in April 2017 here. Fram (talk) 14:05, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Major director, major lead actor. Sources are almost certain to exist offline (if not online in sources that are in Sinhalese and therefore unintelligible to me). Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:31, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What happened to WP:V? Sources could exist for any number of subjects but if no one can provide them, how can we possibly judge them? Saying that "they must exist offline" is absolutely ridiculous. CHRISSYMAD❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯18:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although I do agree with User:Chrissymad that it is wrong to simply assume notability without any sources. But With these two English sources [22][23] that call him this directors notable works and this movie as a visual poetry, I am inclined to keep. The local language is Sinhalese and Tamil, yet we have English sources that provide positive (minor) coverage, so User:Fram's assumption that Sinhalese media will have SIGCOV is not unfounded. --DBigXrayᗙ11:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even without going into Hindi and Bhojpuri coverage ,it is a notable organisation in Bihar in a area of caste conflict.It is also known as Bihar Dalit vikas samiti.Several Google Books hits even without considering Hindi and Bhojpuri sources.
Comment on above sources. At least one source (#1) is self-published by the organization. About half of the sources above are very minor mentions of. sentence or less. I tend to agree that the org looks notable, but would note that the list above makes it look a lot more notable than sources actually make it.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has decent coverage in books. Much greater coverage is expected in Hindi and Bhojpuri sources as they are the local language of the region. per WP:BIAS--DBigXrayᗙ11:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized WP:AUTOBIO (compare creator's username to subject's birth name) of a musician who has no credible claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to carry it. The notability claims here are a "hit" single whose status on any IFPI-certified pop chart is completely unspecified and unreferenced for the purposes of passing NMUSIC #2, and winning a minor local music award that does not pass NMUSIC #8 -- and the referencing is cutting no ice either, as it's referenced entirely to blogs and primary sources and the results page of a Google search rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage in even one GNG-eligible media outlet. As always, musicians are not entitled to use Wikipedia as a promotional venue -- but this shows no evidence of passing any of the required notability standards.

Weak Delete now Delete as there are non-primary sources available, but many are mere mentions and others are very biased in ways. Certainly not enough coverage to pass notability. Handoto (talk) 17:08, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable firearm, no reliable sources could be found, and what unreliable sources exist seem to be mostly WP mirrors. Links in the article (which are dead) point to alternathistory.org.ua, which could indicate that it's made up. ansh66600:27, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is an unfinished and unreleased film. Per WP:NFF canceled/unreleased films should not have their own article. A search comes up with press releases from 2013 and talk about maybe restarting it in 2016, but nothing current. Jip Orlando (talk) 20:06, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It looks like the last AfD ended with the consensus it should be merged, but I don't see where that ever happened. Barring any major progress on the film since 2015, I would say that this should be merged and redirected to the director's article. So far it looks like the only true news was that it's still being shopped around so a lot of this could be summarized into a few lines of text or a paragraph in the director's article. ReaderofthePack (。◕‿◕。)20:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would of course recommend against stating definitively that any of the voice talent is signed for the film, as a lot has happened between 2013 and today. Some of the voice talent may have changed their mind or whatever studio picks this up (if it gets picked up again) may not want some of the actors in the cast. For example, some companies may see Jeffrey Tambor as box office poison. ReaderofthePack (。◕‿◕。)20:59, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Having read the keep !votes above and the responses thereto, I concur in that consensus: heads of deposed dynasties are notable ipso facto in real life as reflected in coverage of their claims and/or doings, and a list of coverage having been provided in earlier discussion means that sources are available for an article distinct from general inclusion in House of Iturbide. There has been discussion of coverage of royalty, reigning and deposed, in the past, for e.g. here, that I think is more compelling and useful than the blanket Notability is not inherited essay (not a guideline), because it recognizes and accepts what people do find notable, rather than attempting to restrict Wikipedia articles to what we are told we ought to consider notable. FactStraight (talk) 02:13, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that's relevant. The discussion you're citing has to do with the decision to retain an article about someone whose father actually was the shah of Iran from 1941 to 1979. Richard von Götzen seems to be the great-great-great grandson of someone who ruled Mexico for 11 months in the 1820s; it's hardly equivalent. The discussion you cite also pertains to a woman with at least 10 articles from reliable secondary sources about her. She is notable. This person is much more obscure. The fact that the decision in that case was to keep the article doesn't mean being a member of a family with some claim to any throne is notable and worthy of an article. It's the lack of secondary sources here that are a problem. Flyte35 (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
