The result was keep: as this article cites significant coverage of its subject in multiple, third party reliable sources in Chanel_Petro-Nixon#External_links, this person is presumed to be notable per Wikipedia's general notability guideline. WP:NOT#MEMORIAL has also been advanced as an argument for deletion. However, WP:NOT#MEMORIAL actually states that "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must be notable besides being fondly remembered." Thus, WP:NOT#MEMORIAL is a mere restatement of the applicability of Wikipedia's notability guidelines to deceased subjects, and does not actually furnish an independant rationale for deletion. The only remaining argument for deletion is the purely subjective assertion that this person is non-notable, which fails to overcome the presumption of notability conferred by the general notability guideline as previously described.

This is part of a multiple nomination, following discussion of a number of pages at AN/I. Per Wikipedia is not a memorial, a page on this subject should be about the case and not the victim. However, tragic as the case may have been for those connected to it, it is not necessarily clear that the case is notable enough (among the 500+ murders in New York City every year) to warrant its own article.

"While all of the officials strongly suspect Gerbschmidt is a fictitious character created by the radio station to poke fun at Packers fans, they hedged slightly by saying it’s conceivable such a person lives in the rural area outside of the village and still uses an Elk Mound address.
Further research revealed that Gerbschmidt’s authenticity is a widely debated topic in some Internet chat rooms, with some people swearing he’s a persona made up for a radio comedy bit and some insisting they’ve been to Elk Mound and seen his name on a mailbox.
Still others admit they don’t know if Gerbschmidt — like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster before him — is real or imagined."
So as of right now it is up for debate.

Non-notable organization. State organizations are rarely notable in their own rights. Corvus cornix 23:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was merge. Little support for keeping this as a standalone article in policy or in popular opinion, as far as I can tell. "Detailed summaries" would seem to just be a euphemism for the kind writing which Speciate probably correctly says is precluded by the "Wikipedia is not journalism" clause. Of course, the summaries in 2006 Chicago Bears season can be expanded if the information is encyclopedic. There's nothing wrong with a paragraph or two of encyclopedic information per game, but the key word is encyclopedic. I suppose in this case that means that the information should be geared more towards explaining the importance of the events of the game in the context of the Bear's 2006 season, the 2006 NFL season, and football in general; rather than just a playlog as you'd see in the game's writeup the next day in the paper. This advice is not binding, it's just guidance that will hopefully be helpful. This was a vastly more detailed closing summary than I usually give, but this seemed like a confusing situation. W.marsh 22:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I really hate do to this, but I am concerned that this article is an overlong rewrite of 2006 Chicago Bears season. I know that a lot of work went into making this page, but the real question is; is Wikipedia the place for a play-by-play description of every game of the season? This article could also be the first of similar articles for every season of every major league team in every sport. There are perfectly verifiable sources peppered through the article, I am unsure of notability. Speciate 22:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original essay. Nothing improved after the prev. nomination last year, but wikipedia policies towards original research had become stricter at the same time. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Differences between the Bible and the Qur'an `'Míkka 22:01, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would point out that I didn't create the article, and I've been trying to eliminate anything that had suggested an analysis, a synthesis, or attempted to make an argument. The intent is to refer to the published sources, so that if someone were to claim that "Jesus isn't mentioned in the Koran", a cite could be made to those sections of the Koran that do make a mention. I think Mikka's statement suggests that nearly anything drawn from a book would be "original research", which seems to be the opposite of OR. If I were to refer to page 759 of the Warren Commission report to state that the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone, would that be original research? Under your definition, would I need to quote from another book that "said" that the Warren Commission Report made that conclusion? The point of WP:NOR is to avoid making statements that cannot be attributed to a published source. I don't disagree that additional sources should be cited, and suggestions are welcome. But let's not delete an article that can continue to be improved. Mandsford 12:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IP removed the PROD with no explanation. Some time ago, somebody went ahead and put in dates for WWE PPV's after WrestleMania XXIV. I have checked WWE's regular website and corporate website and found no mention that these events will even happen, yet alone their dates. Several weeks ago I put Cite tags on each of them and asked on several of the talk pages for the sources and have recieved no responses. With the possible news of WWE already cancelling one of its 2008 PPV's (New Year's Revolution 2008) and WWE going tri-branded with all of its PPVs, I think it is possible that they could choose to not have this event since they already have a June event (Vengeance).

Yikes, it looks like someone listed every since Warcraft race for deletion. Curiously, that editor (IAmSasori) has almost no edits other than a ton of Warcraft related AFDs, which makes me curious about their motives. Consequently, I'm going to cut-and-paste my Keep text to most of the rest of these AFDs:
Thanks for merging it, despite the fact that the reason why the last nomination failed was because they were merged in the first place. Notability is not inherited, therefore separating the articles into sub-articles would not make abide by WP:N. IAmSasori 13:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The nomination above deals with WP:N which is not a criteria for deletion. Under WP:N the proper channel to go through would be for IAmSasori to first go through and tag each of these articles for notability, challenging the editors at each page to find good reliable sources to back up the notability of the article. If an individual article's editors cannot reliably back up the article's notability, ONLY then should the article be nominated for deletion. That would also require going through that process with each and every article, instead of sweepingly removing them all at once like this nomination is trying to do. If IAmSasori wants to see these deleted, he should go through the proper channels first and do the grunt work in each and every one of these. After reading all these criteria, I am concerned that this really is a bad faith nomination, although I wanted to assume good faith with my original post.

Refs cited These are almost all cited above but brought together in one place for sake of readability:
The result was Delete — since this is a complicated closure, I will add some closing comments.
While there are legitimate concerns over the timing of this discussion, given that the last one was only a month ago, I must note that both of the prior discussions closed without a consensus; not, as some users in this discussion believe as a "keep". When a discussion is closed as "no consensus" that means there was not a consensus to do anything; keep, or delete. In most cases, this leads to a default keep, since the default is inclusion except in extraordinary cases. Thus, the fact that it survived previous AfDs is not a endorsement of this article's status, nor is re-nominating it "another spin at the AfD roulette wheel" (since roulette ends in a clear win/lose outcome). While the timing might be a little soon, it is not disruptively so, and I don't believe that it prejudiced the discussion in such a way that I cannot determine a consensus from it.
Now, with that said, there were a number of arguments brought forward here — discounting rationales addressed by the above, there remain an number of arguments which do not present a clear rationale supported. Simply commenting "game cruft" or "Why this and not that" does not help us determine consensus, though the former is more useful than the latter. While there were good arguments made on both sides, the consensus of the debate tends towards a belief that the external notability of the subject is not well-established by reliable sources. While it is clear that World of Warcraft is notable, consensus appears that it is not clear that these classes are sufficiently notable to provide a useful and encyclopedic sub-article. Most of the keep articles centered around it being a legitimate daughter page of a larger, more notable article — however, this does not address the concerns with respect to notability in a way which gained consensus here.
Since there are merger concerns, I'm taking the advice noted in the discussion and redirecting to World of Warcraft, in order to allow for these concerns to be addressed. --Haemo 22:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. This was a frustrating AfD to try to close, not only because of the name-calling and arguing about the difference between the perfect and past tenses. Given that "merge" and "delete" both had a number of proponents, it was striking that very little attention was paid to the question that would distinguish between them: whether the article contains useful, NPOV information that is not found elsewhere. Since those arguing for deletion did not make a claim that it does not, but object primarily to the title, I don't see how their arguments justify deleting the content.

Any "debate" about sexual contact involving an adult and a child is in no way comparable to debate on abortion. To suggest otherwise is inflammatory and misleading. There is constant public discussion of the morality and ramifications of abortion and abortion laws. Politicians talk about it on the stump every single day. Where is the debate on having sex with children? I'm not talking about 19-year-olds who get locked up for hooking up with 16-year-olds. That's a gray area. And it's amply covered in under AoC. Your assertion that "the fact is that there's no proof that there's no such possibility, and this article would need to exist with the same title anyway" is truly puzzling. Since when is lack of verifiability a satisfactory requirement for inclusion? It is, of course, not. - Che Nuevara 19:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An article on a seemingly non-notable band. Referenced by links to YouTube and MySpace, this BBC interview is the only reliable source on the band. I don't think this band passes our notability guideline. Rejected PROD. I'll add Lost in the Light to this as well, the article on their debut EP. John 18:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They have toured with band such as enter shikari and the blackout to name a few. the reviews section in the article is about notability, given that the reviews are all from pretty well known magazines/reviewers.Andrew22k 19:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Surely the BBC ref with the reviews for the EP and the band themselfs has to count as notability. Image:Flood of red kerrang.jpg is a screenshot off of one of their pictures on myspace from the kerrang interview and even though it is not entirely practical to the article it is evidence that the band are notable.Andrew22k 19:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
the bbc interview has calum - the guitarist - speaking on how the have a large fanbase on how they promoted their music using myspace and the internet? and id say the scan is a good solid piece of evidence that convey's how the band are notable and then goes on to say how they band are 'making it'.Andrew22k 19:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would say it talks about how internet/myspace can help promote music and how flood of red have had this experance and note that the interview was in 2005 from which they have progressed. also this review which does talk about how they will/might 'make it' but gives some information about notability on them (the interview was before their EP was released). They also were on rockworld TV a couple of weeks ago.Andrew22k 20:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete — since this is a complicated closure, I will add some closing comments.
While there are legitimate concerns over the timing of this discussion, given that the last one was only a month ago, I must note that both of the prior discussions closed without a consensus; not, as some users in this discussion believe as a "keep". When a discussion is closed as "no consensus" that means there was not a consensus to do anything; keep, or delete. In most cases, this leads to a default keep, since the default is inclusion except in extraordinary cases. Thus, the fact that it survived previous AfDs is not a endorsement of this article's status, nor is re-nominating it "another spin at the AfD roulette wheel" (since roulette ends in a clear win/lose outcome). While the timing might be a little soon, it is not disruptively so, and I don't believe that it prejudiced the discussion in such a way that I cannot determine a consensus from it.
Now, with that said, there were a number of arguments brought forward here — discounting rationales addressed by the above, there remain an number of arguments which do not present a clear rationale supported. Simply commenting "game cruft" or "Why this and not that" does not help us determine consensus, though the former is more useful than the latter. While there were good arguments made on both sides, the consensus of the debate tends towards a belief that the external notability of the subject is not well-established by reliable sources. While it is clear that World of Warcraft is notable, consensus appears that it is not clear that these classes are sufficiently notable to provide a useful and encyclopedic sub-article. Most of the keep articles centered around it being a legitimate daughter page of a larger, more notable article — however, this does not address the concerns with respect to notability in a way which gained consensus here.
Since there are merger concerns, I'm taking the advice noted in the discussion and redirecting to World of Warcraft, in order to allow for these concerns to be addressed. --Haemo 22:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is vague and has no clear purpose. I don't see any way it can be saved, so I'm nominating it for deletion. The first point that must be made is that BitTorrent itself, as a protocol, is no more illegal than FTP or HTTP are. All can be used to do illegal things, but so can common items such as knives and cars. Therefore, the very title is intentionally misleading, as nobody credible is claiming that the BitTorrent protocol is illegal. Now let me go into more depth. The 3 main sections of the article all seem to cover separate topics.
The first is pretty much a summary of websites which distribute .torrent files to copyrighted material, and description of legal action taken against those websites. This content belongs on the articles for the websites themselves, there is no need for a separate article about them. Maybe make a list or category of websites that had legal action taken against them due to copyright claims?
The second section is a brief description of an agreement made by BitTorrent Inc. and the MPAA. This belongs in the article for BitTorrent Inc.
The third section is a brief explanation about how the BitTorrent protocol may not allow for anonymity. This belongs in the article about the BitTorrent protocol, and it should be there, possibly under a different heading. There is no evidence that the facts stated in this section have any bearing on the legality of BitTorrent.
In conclusion, this article has no place in Wikipedia, it is merely a collection of disparate information that is better placed elsewhere in the encyclopedia, under a misleading title. Icestryke 09:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable group. People held a press conference in 2000 announcing their intention to create a political party by this name.

"Presumed to be" a game. That and the Youtube link and I've got almost the entire article in this AfD. Fails WP:N and WP:CRYSTAL. — Coren (talk) 03:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As a fan of ARG's I have begun following this game. It seems due to content on the second video that this 'is' an ARG and so I worked hard to compile a good Wiki for it. Many thanks, Enoch Heath.

non notable university department; no claim of notability that I can see. I will also nominate one other department article from this university. Brianyoumans 02:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Department of Geography @ University of Canterbury is one of the only true GEOGRAPHY Departments left in the world - it is one of the only 2 Departments of Geography in Australasia (corrected thanks to comment below). Most others have been split (with physical geographers going into Geosciences or Earth Science, and human geographers going into planning or sociology type schools) or the geographers have been merged into bigger schools (with planning, architecture, geology, environmental science etc). Who cares? Why is this significant? Due to its Department structure, UC GEOG is able to generate valuable insight into many geographic issues today via physical and human geographers working together to critique and contribute to each others' work. This allows science to inform culture and culture to inform science in a way that rarely happens in our siloised research society today.Cerpha 02:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC) — User:Cerpha (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

There seems to be some conflict of views here. Either a first department in a country is deemed good enough or it isn't. I don't think the size of the country or whether it is a 'medical school' is relevant. I personally think if it is the first Geography Dept in the country then it is significant and should be included. Also how do we define "in the news due to controversy" or arguably more controversially in academic circles "a special center for significant research" or "the home of a number of prominent scholars". It strikes me that this page is under construction, and we should wait till it is complete before having it deleted.

Unredeemable article than consists of an essay which is entirely original research. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. -Halo 02:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was speedy redirect to Eric Taylor (football player). There's no need to keep this discussion open, as the article was a verbatim copy. Non-admin closure. --Agüeybaná 02:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated this article via prod for the reason: "cruft - no assertion that the subject has any importance outside of the context of the tv-show."[40] The prod was removed by an annon a few hours latter.[41]. I assert that this article is indeed unsourced, unverifiable and irredeemable fancruft. I believe this article violates one of the principles of wikipedia: We are not TV guide. In addition, it contains a lot of original research and speculation. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 01:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was keep per improvements to prove notability, based on winning the top prize in the top dog show in the world. Bearian 21:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Contested prod. No sources cited which offer independent coverage of this dog. One of the sources is run by the dog's owner, and the other is an AKC page which merely proves that the dog won the award. The dog doesn't appear to be possibly notable for any reason other than having won this award, and I'm pretty sure that even that doesn't confer immediate notability.

The result was delete. There are definite potential uses for sources from this article in other articles, but the arguments to delete here, praticularly with regards to the various WP:BLP issues and the fact this is sourced off one DOD list, are very strong. Most (not all) of the "keeps" seem based on the list being notable, but fail to address many of the concerns raised by those arguing "delete". Neil ☎ 22:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article is about a list made up compiled not by the Defense Department but by a group of law professors legal scholars. The article doesn't cite any secondary sources that mention the list or tell why it is important. Most of the article is made up consists of repeating the names of groups mentioned on the list.

This inconsistency leads to one of two equally alarming conclusions: either the State Department is allowing persons who are members of terrorist groups into the country or the Defense Department bases the continuing detention of the alleged enemy combatants on a false premise."
We searched for a document to show that there is a connection but did not find one."

Comment: This is getting far too convoluted with all these needless indented back and forths. This article is both a WP:BLP and WP:SYN/WP:OR violation. Source A (USA DOD) says, "This guy is a terrorist", in various documents; source B says, "Seton Hall has collected all these guys the DOD says in random documents are terrorists in an Appendix," and that C is this title of "Defense Department list of terrorist organizations other than the Taliban or al Qaeda" republishing all these names under a page called "List of terrorists". We're basically saying that they are terrorists. We can't combine sources to make a new conclusion. Listing all these people, who are not convicted of any terrorism in any sourced court of law, under an article called "List of Terrorists," while only listing various diaspora of allegations, means that this is both a BLP and SYNTH/OR violation. Even worse, I just realized that this reference it came from here doesn't even include all the allegations listed in the "List" we host on Wikipedia. All that was gleaned from the various documents. • Lawrence Cohen 21:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication in the article that this band (a US band) meets the WP:MUSIC criteria, and a quick scan of search engine results tends to confirm a lack of notability. I am also nominating the following self-titled album by the band:

The result was delete. There are fewer than 25 references to this game online, and no third-party references are provided in the article. It's simply not notable. KrakatoaKatie 18:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable GameMaker game, 750 individual players does not make a game notable. No reliable sources, and not verifiable. Looks like a vanity article ("once Saiklo gets his laptop we will have a full time server!"). Melsaran (talk) 20:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
