Ralph Weber (businessman)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable businessman. Searches for him pull up a lot of unrelated Ralph Webers (string: "Ralph weber" consultant) as well as name-drops and quotables. The article is also extremely bare on sources and would be even if the sources proffered weren't all useless, being his website, a blog, and two YouTube videos which appear to me to be copyright violations of some stripe. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 23:56, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brosix Instant Messenger[edit]

Speedy delete it's spam and has already been afd'd 3 times and nothing has changed. Praxidicae (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no reason why all the other Instant Messenger tools around have their own page, including minor ones no one cares about and others that are much more blatantly promotional, while Brosix cannot. It seems more like someone really doesn't want this page to exist for unknown reasons. By the way, I don't even know how the other pages were made in the first place, but much of the arguments in favor of deleting have now been addressed. The page has several notable sources and reviews (such as one from PCMag - which even gave a negative review which I cited for the sake of neutrality), The Next Web, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and there's nothing really promotional here. The other pages have been deleted ages ago before all these reviews were published. --Daimyo2 (talk) 22:59, 31 January 2019‎ (UTC)[reply]
Keep I tried to keep it as neutral as possible by showing all the negative aspects that emerged from the most authoritative reviews out there. I made sure that every single source was authoritative this time, and that the assertion of notability was significant enough to justify a page. I checked a lot of reviews around the web, I found that the software is used by some pretty important organizations (such as the Harvard University), and I tried to stay as neutral as possible. I did all I can to provide a balanced overview of this tool, I really can't understand why it should be flagged as "promotional". I mean, if there's something that looks like it's promotional, please, let's work on it and let's revise it. --Daimyo2 (talk) 22:59, 31 January 2019‎ (UTC)[reply]

@Daimyo2: You're presenting policy-based arguments in defense of a neutral encyclopedic page. If that position is strongly defensible, more editors will support it. If that happens I may change my own. – Athaenara ✉ 23:46, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give a bit more detail on my thinking with regard to the sources. Some of them give quite trivial coverage - Business2Community, NextWeb, Tech Times, Entepreneur and Business.com just have a few sentences in '5 ways to...' type articles - not enough coverage for CORPDEPTH. Alterative to and Slant are UGC, so not reliable (and the Alternative to piece was written by Brosix!). The Forbes piece isn't even about Brosix - it just contains a short quote from the CEO. CIO Review is a company profile, largely written by the CEO - it's not independent. CEO World is an interview with the CEO - we can't use his own words to support assertions about his company, that's not independent. Socialnomics is described on the page as a 'promoted post' - an advertorial, so not independent. I could go on, but basically I think that the closest thing to a reliable, independent source giving decent depth is the PC Mag review; that alone isn't enough to establish notability.

As for the language, I'll let other editors judge, but it looks very promotional to me. GirthSummit _(blether) 07:36, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let's address the issues one at a time. About the sources, I understand some of them are not full reviews, but if the tool (or the CEO) have been featured by so many significant magazines over the course of the last two years, IMHO the product has the right to be mentioned among its competitors. I do totally agree that most of these reviews will probably come from PR jobs, but they're so many, that it is out of question that the product already left a footprint. This IMHO is sufficient to earn Brosix a page on its own, especially considering that this underdog still survives since 2006 - that's 13 years, it's notable enough in my agenda according to WP:SUSTAINED. Also, I mentioned the fact that is being currently used by some really large companies and governmental agencies as well as important universities. Isn't this enough to assert its notability and meet WP:NSOFT?

Moving to the language issue. I can't see where the language may look promotional, but I'm more than willing to change it if you or the other editors feel it looks "advertisey". I simply followed the template of other IM tools such as Wickr and Tox_(protocol). Seriously, I don't care about promoting this tool at all, so if you think there's some part that needs to be revised, please just point that out, and I'll be happy to work on it. A possible approach could be to highlight the fact that Brosix really is an underdog, and always has been. It survived so far, but it never shined because it just doesn't offer anything that makes it stand out from competition. I can't find anything else more "neutral" than this other than just bashing it (which I guess it's not fair for the opposite reason). Daimyo2 (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you knew that most of the reviews came from PR jobs, why bother including them at all? They are not independent, and aren't suitable sources for an entry here. The fact that there are lots of them doesn't change that at all. It's not a question of fairness - no subject has a 'right' to an article - it's a question of whether or not we can write a quality article with the sources that are available. If we can't, we don't write the article.

I don't see how WP:SUSTAINED applies - that raises the bar for notability, it doesn't drop it. It says that a subject needs sustained coverage in reliable sources over a period of time (as opposed to hitting the headlines for a day and then disappearing). There's nothing there to imply that sustained trivial coverage equates to significant coverage.

WP:NSOFT says an app that is distributed commercially or supported by businesses is a commercial product. Sources used for such apps should satisfy the breadth and depth of coverage required for a standalone commercial product article, and gives a link to WP:NCORP. Brosix is distributed commercially, so it's clear that NCORP guidelines apply. You can read the guidance there for yourself, but right upfront it says No matter how "important" editors may personally believe an organization to be, it should not have a stand-alone article in Wikipedia unless reliable sources independent of the organization have discussed it. We need significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources, or we have nothing to build an article around. Only one of the sources currently in the article appears to be usable; if better ones could be found, a better article could be written, but we need the sources first. GirthSummit _(blether) 12:50, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Daimyo2: I personally think it should have been speedy deleted as promotional. The troubling aspects to me are some of the language (e.g. The service is designed to allow streamlined inter-office communication without the risk of being hacked or losing sensitive information as a result of leaks. and One of the oldest Instant Messengers available, Brosix is currently used by several global corporations, private universities, and public governmental organizations such as Xerox, Harvard University, Georgia Department of Community Health, and many more, the weight given to product features (which includes the security section) relative to other kinds of information (e.g. reviews, objective history) and the inclusion of information generally thought trivial (funding rounds). Fixing all this would require a substantial reworking of the article in my opinion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Barkeep49: Hi Barkeep. About the part The service is designed to allow streamlined inter-office communication without the risk of being hacked or losing sensitive information as a result of leaks. I can easily fix it to make it sound less commercial. I'll have a look into it immediately. The sentence One of the oldest Instant Messengers available, Brosix is currently used by several global corporations, private universities, and public governmental organizations such as Xerox, Harvard University, Georgia Department of Community Health, and many more has been purposefully added to assert its notability and meet WP:NSOFT - something that so far nobody wanted to take into account even if it seems very important to me. Stating why this tool may have had some form of significance is a requirement, this is not a sentence slapped there to say "it's a great product".

The weight given to product features and the funding part was included to copy the format used for similar products in this same niche. All messengers are really similar to each other, what makes this one a little bit different from the others is that Brosix is more secure. Else, it's a product with an outdated interface - as I clearly explained in the features section. The reviews that I included are a negative one and a good one. I can remove the good one, but wasn't the purpose of the articles to show some form of neutrality? Daimyo2 (talk) 16:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to bring it back to the sources again, the assertion mentioned above that 'Brosix is currently used by...' is sourced to a listicle in Tech Times. The source is so breathlessly puffy that I can't believe it's not a paid feature; and even then, it only partially supports the assertion. First, it only mentions the three named organisations (nothing about 'several global corporations including...'); I'm also troubled by equating 'trusted by' with 'used by'. 'Trusted by' could mean that it's an integral part of their operations, but it could just as easily mean that it's not outright banned for staff to use it, or even that they trialed it once and gave positive feedback, but no longer actually use it. PR folk are pretty good at turning very little into something impressive without actually lying - that's why we shouldn't use sources like this.GirthSummit _(blether) 17:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found the information on their website, here: https://www.brosix.com/customers/ but as you can easily imagine, I thought it wasn't a great idea to use this list as a primary source. Truth to be told, it seems they work with a bunch of pretty big shots - just look at the gov agencies and non-profit organizations in that list. Problem is, I can't find any source mentioning this anywhere. Daimyo2 (talk) 17:13, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Daimyo2, If reliable sources don't mention it then we shouldn't be using it. You are of course welcome to include positive reviews - assuming they come from reliable sources (which I think Girth demonstrated that was not). As for the other articles, Wikipedia has evolved to hold companies and products to a tighter standard. I would be unsurprised if other articles in this space are also not meeting our standard. However, in an AfD discussion, we judge each article against the standard and policy as opposed to comparing them to other articles. Hope that makes sense. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:23, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the article to the best of my possibilities. I removed the positive review since it didn't come from a reliable source, deleted any "extra" info such as funding, changed everything you indicated as potentially promotional in the introduction. I don't know what to do about the sentence about the companies they work with though, since it still seems important to meet WP:NSOFT. I understand that it comes from a source that may have been paid by a PR agency, as Girth Summit correctly pointed out, but since I've looked at their website and they apparently work with over a dozen of significant organizations (such as universities, corporations and gov agencies), I think it's still fair to leave it here. They're not lying about that, that's pretty obvious. Let me know what you think, I suppose we can fix the text to describe this product for what it really is - i.e. a somewhat less important yes never-dying underdog IM that survived for 13 years notwithstanding its fierce competition. Daimyo2 (talk) 17:44, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A list of customers on their website does not help it pass WP:NSOFT or WP:NCORP. In my previous career, I used to maintain a very similar list of customers on my company's website. I can assure you that we added companies to the list no matter how small an order we got from them; we did not remove them, however, if they switched to a competitor, unless they explicitly asked us to (which, AFAICR, nobody ever did). We simply can't rely on sources like this to establish notability, or even to support assertions of this nature. GirthSummit _(blether) 19:01, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Regardless of the two reviews linked above, the subject simply doesn't meet the WP:NAUTHOR guidelines. Pretty much any author is going to have reviews of their works; that doesn't make them notable. Jmertel23 (talk) 23:51, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree that substantial coverage of a work via reviews could make the work/author well-known, but the small number of (not very easy to find) reviews in this case don't seem to me to meet that criterion. Jmertel23 (talk) 11:48, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nomination is devoid of reasons to delete. The closest it comes is the word "dictionary" but that just seems to mean "short" as the article has no focus on a particular word qua word. But our actual policy explains that "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written; another is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead users to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent."

Keep Easy pass of WP:PROF #1 and #7. Multiple interviews with media and conservative organizations, which is unusual for academics.[5][6][7][8][9] There are also multiple reviews (of varying quality) of his 2014 book [10][11][12][13] His work seems to be frequently cited by pro-sweatshop advocates (for example, [14][15][16][17][18]). b uidhe 22:18, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have found these three reviews of one of the subject's books, and his Google Scholar profile shows 1790 citations with an h-index of 21. I think that is enough for a pass of WP:PROF. As always, it's not the publishing of books and articles that makes an academic notable, but the reviews and citations by others that those publications attract.

Keep A bit of digging reveals that he meets numerous criteria under WP:PROF, particularly #1 (publishing record and google scholar citation metrics, along with being known for his work on immigration and sweatshops), #6 (performed the role of director and other high ranking positions at academic journals and institutions), and #7—which I think makes the strongest case for him (has authored several books, regularly contributes to popular media outlets, and has a long list of appearances on conventional media)[19][20].

I'm unconvinced that much has changed since the previous AFD. I can find plenty of mentions of the guy in the press e.g. [21] [22] [23] but they all have the distinct air of promotional churnalism to them and are very thin on biographical details. This is probably the best source I can find but again it reads like a press release e.g. including the ridiculous claim that he's read 30,000 books (10 a week for his entire life).

Delete: Lacks significant converage in third-party sources, and the one great source (The Times of Israel) heavily references his Wikipedia page.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 23:40, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of accuracy, The Times of Israel article is quite long, and mostly about Sofer's creation of a new form of martial arts with grand, unsupported claims to have been secretly passed down father-to-son form the days of King David. But, here's the thing, it had a real following when that article was published. The Wikipedia material is cited as support for the author's pointing out that over the course of Sofer's life, the way he describes his childhood has changed dramatically as he has constructed and reconstructed his identity. In short, he is a fabulist. But he is a fabulist with INDEPTH press coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:12, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete It looks like he created his own martial art and claimed to be a grandmaster, which is not an indication of martial arts notability--or at least there seems to be no evidence to dispute my assessment. Claims of being a descendent of warriors from thousands of years ago reminds me of many of the dubious martial arts claims I've seen from "ancient" Asian arts. His hip-hop career doesn't show notability. Coverage is just passing mentions except for the two local articles, both of which were published under editor-in-chief David Horovitz (making me question their independence from each other). Even if independent, I don't think two local articles shows the GNG is met.Sandals1 (talk) 14:46, 26 January 2019 (UTC) Looks like a duck to me[reply]

I'm unclear as to why the Times of Israel is considered 'local', or why having the same editor-in-chief for two articles with different reporters/authors would make the articles non-independent. (I was under the assumption that editors in chief were not the creators of the content, but I might be missing something?) Gilded Snail (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Local because both papers are based in Jerusalem as is Sofer. Editors in chief carry power about what's published and I thought it an odd coincidence, but it could be just that. Claims of ancient ancestors with extraordinary powers always make me suspicious.Sandals1 (talk) 00:21, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah no, that's reasonable. To be clear, I think he's a total con-man and is generally not-legit, but I do think that he's a GNG-passing con-man.Gilded Snail (talk) 03:02, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What do you mean by "a lot of incoming links"? I found about six links from other Wikipedia articles, including one generic "see also" and one from an article about another rapper of doubtful notability. PepperBeast (talk) 20:05, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which means that applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion.[2] It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been moved to user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy). So this will unlikely will apply to G4. Sheldybett (talk) 06:38, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input, but I'll leave that judgment call to someone who can compare this page to the deleted page from the deletion discussion that closed four days ago. Bakazaka (talk) 06:55, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Bakazaka In my opinion, G4 exists exactly because of cases like this. User:Coasterdude1 created this three times: United Shane Dawson Conspiracy Series, Conspiracy Series by Shane Dawson and this despite getting deleted once by A7, and once by AfD which also salted the title, so the user created this title (Special Edition part does not even exist) to circumvent the salting. He was also warned on his talk page not only for this but for disruptive editing on FBI (TV series). G4 delete this and BLOCK the user creator. He is obviously here to just spam with article about a not yet notable show and is possibly paid for that. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:03, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-winning candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, but there's no strong evidence here that he could be considered to have preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy — the sources which exist outside of the campaign context are all either video clips of him speaking about something other than himself, or glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other people.

He continues to be interviewed and to have speaking gigs related to No One Left Behind, but the SIGCOV peaked long enough ago that it requires the use of new archive searches. (I added some to page.)

If you are stuck with one article, then one way or another you'll end up with something that may look a little coatrack. His notability is in leading the building and racing of vehicles, and stories about the vehicles focus on him in that role. Consider a counterfactual: What if his vehicles all had totally different names, and there were no common company? Conversely, his go-kart record and OAM and perhaps other things are noteworthy, so if the article pivots to one on the vehicles, then a chunk of biographical information should be included. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 10:38, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a strong question as to the subject's notability. While he has won some awards from a notable institution, these are shared and so I do not believe satisfy the requirements of WP:ANYBIO.

He has been involved in the creation of several relatively notable works, but I do not believe they hold sufficient notability to meet the requirements under WP:DIRECTOR.

If he does not meet the criteria for notability under any of those then I do not believe he meets the criteria under WP:GNG. None of the references provided in the article are suitable for establishing this (IMDB, TVGuide), and some are not suitable at all (docuWiki). A search does bring up a few articles mentioning him, but either he is the author [30] or is only mentioned in passing by an article discussing his current project. [31][32][33][34]

However, given the combined awards, programs and passing coverage, I am not certain he doesn't meet the required standards of WP:N. If he does, however, then the article needs significant work to bring it up to a standard reasonable for inclusion on Wikipedia. NoCOBOL (talk) 12:22, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I'd say he pretty clearly meets #3 and #4 of WP:DIRECTOR (though I would have used the Filmmaker tag). He's played a major role in co-creating a body of work: Meerkat Manor alone qualifies him for that, let alone everything else. And he's won two Emmys for his work as a filmmaker.^[2] The article may not be great, but it seems to me that this is a clear case where editing would be preferable to deletion.

Sheet dealing[edit]

Not an expert in publishing, but this article exclusively cites the website of Andrew Malcolm (author), and appears to consist of WP:OR/WP:SOAPBOXING. I have removed similar content from the Malcolm article. Endymion.12 (talk) 22:56, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Fix and Merge Important concept and publishing article, which includes case law. Needs more sources, and better links. Meets WP:GNG. Ideally, references need to be broadened out. But this is a ground for improvement, not a ground for deletion.

That being said, I think that the use of the block quotes (which now stand out, now that I reformatted them as block quotes – See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Quotation cleanup) transgress WP:Fair use and need to be cut back and paraphrased. This is a WP:Copyright violation that needs to be remedied.

Additionally, when I used ref fill to tweak the citations, it became apparent that all but one are from the same source! This needs to be fixed. New sources are a must.

Here are four candidates for merger:

If that happens, then some of the concerns that have prompted this AFD can be alleviated. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:32, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:7&6=thirteen: Righto, but we need new references and some of the discussion of case law currently borders on WP:OR, so someone will need to put a lot of effort into this. Endymion.12 (talk) 22:38, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Endymion.12 Message received. I am busy in the real world, which intrudes on my Wikidiction, and time crunched. I can't get to this for a week at least. Maybe not even then. My initial boffing around came up zero. If we tried it from a legal angle, reading the cases and then Sherdardizing them (oops, I am showing my age), we might be able to find something. We could also try to backtrack from the sources we already have. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:50, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of HD DVD devices[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Outdated list of products - a lot of content already removed including prices in US dollars (from 2007!). HD DVD technology may be historic but to list every single product would violate WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE as well as this list essentially being a product catalogue.

Thanks for considering to not delete this content. Listings including prices was very useful and not "indiscriminate" but very particularly useful as a tool to help immediately identity what products were high-end and harder to find and which products were common. Perhaps this should have been pointed out in the article and the prices more clearly linked to sources and the reason for their inclusion made clear in the article.

Honestly I think fighting for the article's retension and trying to explain why the topic is notable seems like a lost cause. Sooner or later new editors will arbitrarily decide old tech isn't their thing and just delete the articles. Sooner or later it's trashed again so why bother? The whole wikipedia system seems run as a tyranny of arbitrary hierarchical editorial control. This article list is very small considering the short life of the technology so it's not like a list that continually grows. If the most popular models were only listed as examples back in the main article it would bloat that article which is possibly why it became its own article. The list article could definitely be improved by dividing it up into Popular, and Less Popular if we can find support links (besides the price reference implications) but again, why do the work if it's just going to be trashed on a editor's feel of what they think is notable that day? It seems odd that natural science articles get a pass for listing genus and species, e.g. home page linked article ^[3] but if the subject is retro-tech suddenly an editor can easily decide "not notable" - yet more people dealt with the technologies on this list over this Wader bird. Sure the bird understanding is probably more important long-term but if the issue is "notability" then short lists of older tech, demonstrating exact nature of moderate breadth of different manufacturers supporting the tech, the length -- i.e. lifespan of the particular tech (year introduced), rarity (pricing) of the tech, etc. all seem notable. But not notable to people who don't care about the particular technology. Too bad we aren't bird lovers, where some lists are okay ^[4] Best wishes Dcsutherland (talk) 04:16, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I find the list very poorly referenced, and of the few references present many are non-WP:RS. I don't think this is a fixable problem, it's a symptom of the lack of notability of the topic. I'm not sure it's possible to create a reasonably complete list that is adequately referenced. Anyone who finds this list useful is free to copy it to some other place under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License prior to deletion. However Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias become less useful if they contain indiscriminate unsourced data. --Pontificalibus 09:07, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
