Cannot find any references on the Internet, and it is not a railway station on Shiwu HSR. 寿司猫 (talk) 03:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand, 新郑火车站 (Google maps link) is a real station, but in the older Jingguang railroad, not Shiwu HSR. It's a fairly old station (1905), clearly notable for being in a major city in a major railway line. So maybe just rename? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.222.164.96 (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Now, a separate issue. Xinzheng Station and/or Xinzheng East station (Found 1905 date for Xinzheng station in a not-super-reliable source. Not sure if Xinzheng East is a separate newer station, a relocation of the old station, or an alternative name) are real stations of the Jingguang line (which is a distinct and separate line from the Shiwu HSR, running on its own rails, although the two lines are sort of parallel. Shiwu line is part of the "Jingguangshengang" HSR line, which is often called the Jingguang PDL. It is rather confusing). I thought Xinzheng was just a suburb of Zhengzhou, but it doesn't matter if it is a fully separate entity. I think the general consensus is that all stations of a major railway line are notable (and will generally get mentioned often in third-party materials). I am, however, not sure whether this is true. IF that's the case, it may be okay to keep the article and just change the information to fit the facts of Xinzheng East station. Xinzheng East (Jingguang line) station may also be notable in its own right, of course. I just noticed there is an ethnography book about it, when you search for it in English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.166.7.155 (talk) 12:30, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable music teacher, as far as I can tell, but not my specialoist subject. This came up as a random article and I tidied it up a bit, but then realised that nothing seems to attest to his notabilty. As I understand the US education system, associate professor means he's low grade; his performance details seem to refer only to local ensembles (apart from Phoenix Players which I am sure is a bad link - the Phoenix Players with the Wikipedia articel are in Kenya!) and he appears to be no more than a school music teacher.

This AfD is sort of a complicated one. Individually, the article for Little Lucknow and for Nitya Prakash are not notable enough for individual articles. I had done some marked improvements to the author's article and redirected the book page to the author's article because together, they formed enough of an article to where I could justify leaving it despite twinges of guilt over some of the sources on the author's article not really passing RS. HOWEVER, the edits have been reverted with the justification that I was not to do any changes to the article whatsoever without any full conversations on the article talk page, essentially telling me that I was not allowed to make any changes or make any redirects. Now the reason I'm listing this here is because the notability for either article was still fairly shaky even after merging the two together. I'd like to get a consensus on this, also because there's a language barrier. The biggest issue here is that the book is decidedly non-notable despite the "sources" on the page. Before anyone says "clearly notable, look at the sources", I'll list as to why most of them are non-usable. I'm listing Prakash with this because quite frankly, he has an equally big problem with sourcing.

This is not an encyclopedia article. It has only one source, a dictionary, and that is exactly where this content belongs: a dictionary. There is nothing encyclopedic to say about this topic. Let us review: this article consists of a pronunciation, a translation (since it is a loanword) to English, a brief definition, and a sentence of etymology. That's it. All of those components are elements of a dictionary entry, not a comprehensive encyclopedia article. Powers T 14:08, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A made up word, unfortunately. No references in this article to support the existence (let alone notability) of the word, nothing on Google apart from this article and many misspellings of "punctuation", and more importantly, nothing in the Oxford English Dictionary--and the OED's etymology for the word pun directly contradicts the claim that it is a shortened form of puncutation: "Origin unknown.

Keep passes WP:LISTN--the topic of "returning coaches" is often discussed in primary media outlets such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. A good number of articles on Wikipedia link to this list. The list is indeed uniquque as no other list or article on Wikipedia contains this information. List clearly passes tests described per WP:DISCRIMINATE essay and the definition of "discriminate" in Wiktionary. Inclusion in the list is clearly defined in the list header and it is very specific.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I disagree...I don't think it passes WP:LISTN as none of the sources in the article establish that this is a topic that receives widespread independent coverage. Additionally, per WP:NOTSTATSBOOK, under what Wikipedia is not, I think that this would be characterized under criterion 3 which discourages excessive listings of statistics. Thus, I would conclude that this topic does not have sufficient notability and probably should be deleted. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:46, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This subject appears not meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. The review in non-notable Urban Folk magazine is alone doesn't seem convincing of notability. Media coverage is exceedingly local and lends even less to an encyclopedic biography. The subject also doesn't approach WP:MUSICBIO for much the same reason. Also, his association with more notable ensembles doesn't give way to much coverage of this individual beyond passing mention, credits, and liner notes.

DO NOT DELETE. Mr. Revell has recorded over eight albums, and is a significant contributor to the anti-folk community and genre. Mr. Revell's contributions are significant and notable. Reliable sources can also include the albums he has recorded as original sources. They are available in full version here: http://greyrevell.bandcamp.com/. Though his recorded albums are "self-authored" and are not "Independent of the Subject" these albums, taken along with his recent commercial popularity abroad, his recent attention from media and new fan base, and his significant influence on other anti-folk musicians should be taken as a whole to come to the conclusion that he and his music are notable subjects worthy of a Wikipedia page.
Also, though Mr. Revell has yet to attain widespread attention in the United States, he is not 'likely to remain' in this position, as his popularity is growing exponentially due to the recent attention received via the HP commercial. Mr. Revell is a notable and significant American singer-songwriter and deserves a Wikipedia page.
Grey Revell's contribution to American Songwriting is significant. His recent placement in the HP commercial is a significant achievement, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O91lPSKfgpk&feature=relmfu . He is receiving more downloads now than any other indie musician referenced in his own article. He is touring with the nationally known artist "Paleface" and contributing significantly to his next album. As I am sure you are aware, deleting Mr. Revell's entry from your archives could have serious career consequences for a musician on the brink of widespread commercial success in the U.S. This is an action not to be taken lightly.
It would disserve the Wikipedia community to delete the page of such a significant and notable American singer-songwriter. He is, under the Wikipedia guidelines for notability of music, a "prominent representative of a notable style of music", anti-folk. He has "performed music for a work of media that is notable", the HP commercial. He is a member of a national PRO. He is widely cited by his peers, though all citations are not posted here, and someone seems to be systematically deleting the citations that have been posted recently. There are more sources available. All of these criteria make him eligible for the definition of "notable" under Wikipedia's policy guidelines.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) 16:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC) — AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

You did not address his thus far commercial success, which DOES fit under the Wikipedia definition of notable. The reasons stated in my last paragraph of my first comment are all, independently, reasons given in WP:MUSIC for allowing a notable music bio. This reasoning cannot just be ignored by stating "none of which are sufficient," that is just flatly untrue. How can the very commercial that used his song, itself, be unreliable, especially in combination with his discography on Bandcamp, where the song is available in its entirety? Did you fail to follow the link to the commercial that I provided? Are you not aware that under the DMCA the recording artist who created "Gone Gone" would have these sources removed almost instantly if they were not reliable sources, if the music had somehow, no matter how unlikely, been recorded by another artist? In the case of this song, all THREE factors of reliability, the source itself, the publisher of the source, and the publisher of the source are COMPLETELY reliable. Mr. Revell IS notable, and he has every indication of remaining notable as an American singer-songwriter in the future. I am not an editor of this article. I have added links and they have been removed within minutes of my adding them, by whom I do not know. Perhaps John from Chapel Hill can answer that question. He seems to have some sort of personal connection to and/or vendetta against Mr. Revell. I don't have time to keep adding reliable sources just to have them taken down by the likes of you. My law practice keeps me too busy to fool around much on Wikipedia. But I do know that calling an artist whose career depends on notoriety "un-notable" might be considered by a court as libel, Mr. 76.248.149.47. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) 00:56, 13 October 2012 (UTC) — AmandaBCook (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
