Weak keep They've got quite a bit of media coverage for an up-and-coming band, including some international coverage and at least short features in several major publications.

Keep. The article could use expansion, but sufficient reliable sources to warrant an article (satisfying WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO) appear to exist: in addition to the above write-ups, there's an article on the trio in XXL (excerpt), a HipHopDX piece ([9]), and a feature in Clash magazine [10].

Redirect to Sino-Indian border dispute. The event was given significant coverage by multiple reliable sources, that being said, I am unaware that the event which was the standoff has received continued coverage from reliable sources. Therefore, the subject falls within the scope of the Sino-Indian border dispute or the China–India relations articles. As such a merger of verified content can be moved to one of those two articles, and a redirect left in this article's space.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the Defense Industry Daily has provided us these sources to evaluate notability of the event. These sources can arguably be seen as continued coverage, even thogh the event still falls within the scope of the article Sino-Indian border dispute.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:03, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - According to this book, is a seminal figure in early recorded rap. Called "legendary" in this book.

Delete as unnecessary cross-categorization per WP:NOTDIR. Religion has nothing to do with most of the sub-categories listed so, for most of these groups of people, sorting them by religion is of no more relevance than sorting them by hair colour. Dricherby (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The original deletion criteria was invalid, per WP:OTHERSTUFF. Per WP:NOTDIR: "Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon". Catholicism in America is culturally significant, so WP:NOTDIR does not apply. Hence, keep. Praemonitus (talk) 02:02, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Catholicism in baseball, catholicism in acting, and so on are not culturally significant. Dricherby (talk) 08:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Although I normally would sympathize with what you're saying I'm not sure this does anything the article wouldn't. Also List of Catholic bishops of the United States, Historical list of the Catholic bishops of the United States, List of American saints and beatified people, National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus, and Laetare Medal will be unaffected however this goes. Still I see we do have List of Australian Presbyterians so possibly religion/nation lists are done. (Although I see no American equivalent. No List of American Presbyterians or List of American Baptists or List of American Latter Day Saints.)--T. Anthony (talk) 08:55, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Note also that the Catholic Church is the largest single Church in the US: the CIA World Factbook says 23.9% of Americans identify as Catholic. Are we going to add a quarter of the Americans who have wikipedia pages to this list? Dricherby (talk) 09:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Only if they have the notability to be added to the list and the RS to support the fact that they are Catholic. The list isn't huge and nowhere as big as List of American Jews which has already been subdivided because it is so large. Marauder40 (talk) 13:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Actually I'm starting to have slightly mixed feelings. (I'm usually pro-lists) But I'm still not sure it's necessary so won't rescind the AfD.--T. Anthony (talk) 23:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No one said that millions would be added to this list. In fact, unlike on some other such lists, all listed here are wiki-worthy, so the list is not out of control. This is also a sound start towards something like List of American Jews - or would you have this and its sub-lists removed too?Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 11:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. per reasons already given both here and in the previous AFD in 2010 that resulted in a keep. Nothing has changed since then. Complaints about whether all denominations have a List like this don't really hold up. All someone has to do is have the time, the notable people and the RS to create those lists.

Lists of people with specific surnames[edit]

Workable in what sense? I agree that keeping the list sorted will be difficult. -dav4is (talk) 21:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on what you actually have in mind for it. 'Specific surnames' is not clear to me, or, I think to ItsZippy. Peridon (talk) 21:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - So, taken at its best, this would be a list of all the surname pages we have on Wikipedia? To me that seems far to vague a topic for a list (do we really mean every surname in existence?). We already have the lists of most common surnames and lists of surnames in specific country (such as list of surnames in Ukraine) which serve the same purpose but much more effectively. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 21:38, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The list would have to be over 40K entries long, just a tad WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Not worth the effort as we already have many comparable(ish) pages and if created would be drain on resources

Ah, but it is not just a list of surnames, but rather a list of the lists of people who HAVE those surnames. That is, wikipedia has somewhere a list of the people bearing the name Smith and another list of the people bearing the name Starr. Now the titles of those two lists may be (are!) completely different in form, but my list would point to each with the simple names Smith and Starr.

Note that not every surname in wikipedia has such list of occupiers.

-dav4is (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Most do. Let's very generously say that only half do. It's still way too many. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing the specific links which seem to be causing the disambiguation problems, I see that the targets of these links are all disambiguation pages without the word disambiguation in the title, which nevertheless contain content not available elsewhere. It is to this content that I wish to link. For example, the Sands page contains an extensive list of people named Sands, exactly the sort of list I wish to include in my page. So, my question is this: How should I link in cases like this, and avoid being picked up as having too many links to DPL.
---dav4is (talk) 11:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreeing that this falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE, even if it's, as -dav4is says, only a list of surname lists. I cannot imagine anyone would ever need or benefit from such a list. And even if there was some benefit to being able to find all the lists of people sharing a surname pages, why not just use Category:Lists of people sharing a surname? Having something that needs to be manually updated when we already have a category that does the job automatically seems like a tremendous waste of resources. Ethraen (talk) 18:26, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. To answer the question from User:Dav4is above, the link should be piped through the (disambiguation) page. For example, if you want to link to Hawley, but don't want it to show up as a link that needs to be fixed by the WP:DPL folks, you link it like this: [[Hawley (disambiguation)|Hawley]], to get Hawley. -Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 06:24, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I was unaware of the category mentioned above, which satisfies my needs — even if User:Ethraen cannot imagine such a need!
---dav4is (talk) 09:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep How can a list of WP list articles possibly be indiscriminate? it excludes all lists of surnames that are not in WEP, and all WP surnames that are in WP but not in lists. Everything in WP has been selective discriminately by the notability guidelines. whether it's useful or necessary may be another question, but I am reluctant to predict what people will want to use. DGG ( talk ) 06:05, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to List of most common surnames, which I think is what people might really be looking for. I'm not sure I understand what DGG is arguing. Bearian (talk) 17:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both are reliable sources, the authors are independent and the articles are fairly long, only about this company and clearly contain the authors' own thoughts, not simple reprints of the company's press releases.

Keep. I'd guess the creator's mention of "Algeria" in their edit summary was just a brainslip, as the article states that the subject plays in the fully-pro Ghana Premier League. Since the nomination, an editor has added a reference to a match report mentioning subject's defensive error in a GPL fixture; might not be a very favourable mention, but it does prove he was playing and therefore passes WP:NFOOTY criterion 2. The standard Europe-based stats sites don't cover the Ghana PL, but both Transfermarkt and Soccerway show several appearances for his club in the 2012 CAF Champions League group stage. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:35, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MASS KILLING in Bangladesh, 5TH MAY 2013[edit]

My PROD contested; Peripatetic's CSD removed by page creator, but I thought it would be good to bring it here. The article is poorly written POV anti-government (almost fringe) stuff. No objection to deletion and NPOV recreation (under a better title). Ignatz mice•talk 19:09, 6 May 2013 (UTC) Moved to 2013 Dhaka protests (which isn't a great title, but not as bad).

Keep, move to better name, rewrite from the neutral point of view, and expand. A Google News search for "Bangladesh protest shooting" shows significant coverage in The Guardian, reporting at least 30 deaths.

Comment. OK, I've given the page a fresh start by removing all the nonsense (and probably some reasonable text, too) and warned the vandals. I also deleted the Al Jazeera source because the bare-url 404ed. The topic is probably keep-able, though it needs a proper name and it will probably need to be at least semi-protected.

Comment - Sadly, this title is too broad and needs to be redone somehow. Protests have been going on non-stop in Dhaka ever since the beginning of February, starting on the 5th of Feb with 2013 Shahbag protests. Yesterday's action and last night's counteraction are all part of the aftermath of Shahbag and we still have a long long way to go. At any rate, the point is that the title is misleading and needs to be reworked. -- Peripatetic (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Rework: Absolutely this is an important event and has WP:SIGCOV. However, the article as is should have been sandboxed, worked on with at minimum: improved title, more citations, some narrative and organization, and better factual support. This article currently fails on the most basic policy of WP:WTAF. Please rewrite it, resubmit it based on this criticism, and then I'll support its inclusion.Crtew (talk) 22:18, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody did write the article first but it was an unacceptable and total mess. By the time I'd removed the ludicrous claims (e.g., that literally millions had been killed, that nuclear weapons had been used and so on) and the POV-pushing, there was nothing left but the stubbiest of stubs. Indeed, the original article was so bad that it was speedy-deleted as a hoax but restored because the deleting admin noticed it was at AfD. Dricherby (talk) 22:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree with many comments above about the NPOV stance while I'm supportive of the development of this as an article. Crtew (talk) 22:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment about merging: With all due respect, the 2013 Shahbag protests has been a poorly written, one-side POV article from its inception. That article lacks basic substance in some areas (such as the media coverage section which is an inane list of who has covered the event). The "article" is in desperate need of some balance (and might very well be improved if it wasn't for the battleground mentality on the page). Moreover, whoever made that article into a B-class knows absolutely nothing about the assessment criteria. That topic and this one is important, but that article is at best a start class with a host of problems. To lump this topic in with the counter-protests would miss the mark of what is needed to improve the coverage of what has been going on in Bangladesh since the war crimes trial began. This whole area needs some serious rethinking. Crtew (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article is intended to be a biased article with a strongly negative title. There is already a more general article on Hefajat-e-Islam_Bangladesh which includes a section about the clash of Hefajat and police on May 5 and later. There's no need to have another article just on one section of an article.Shantonu.hossain (talk) 09:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment That article is definitely not NPOV, but it would see that a merge or redirect into it would be a pretty good option. Ignatz mice•talk 11:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's not only the 'title' I am opposing. Even if the title is changed it doesn't justify the need for another article which could be a subsection of an already existing article.Shantonu.hossain (talk) 21:54, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. As retitled and cleaned up, it's barely a stub, but the event was substantive and newsworthy, and could link up with others.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 12:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it stands as there is no claim to any lasting significance so therefore fails the WP:NOT policy. LGA _talk^edits 07:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:LASTING, which you link: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." This is a recent event (four days ago) with unproven lasting effect.

Delete. I'd considered tagging this as a hoax, which it probably is, but guessed the several namechecks on various blogs might have given the reviewing admin grounds for doubt. But even assuming he does exist... None of the "references" in the article mention him. BDfutbol confirms that no-one called Gabriel Kunda or anything similar played for Atlético B in the 2009/10 Segunda B season, when he was supposed to have played 24 games.

- I'm sorry if my suggesting the article was a hoax made you think I disbelieved the existence of the player. My beliefs are neither here nor there. The hoax aspect referred to the claims made about the player appearing for Atlético B, when he did not, and the addition of reference links which either don't exist or don't mention the player.
  To satisfy Wikipedia's "notability criteria" for football players, i.e. whether a player deserves a WP article or not, he has to have played in a fully professional league, as listed here, or to have played senior international football, or to have received "significant coverage" in reliable sources independent of the subject. "Reliable sources" include newspapers, broadcast media and reputable websites with a reputation for fact-checking; they don't generally include blogs, forum posts, fansites, or other self-published sources.
  If you think the page should be kept, you need to demonstrate such coverage. Adding a "reference" for his 24 games for Atlético B in 2008/09 which consists of a match report for two different teams entirely dating from 2011 and lifted wholesale from Pere Martínez Sastre doesn't strike me as likely to demonstrate any such thing. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This just popped up on my watchlist againt.

Rename Saudi Arabian terrorism sponsorship. Looking at the reliable sources most of the sources in the article link Saudi Arabia with funding terrorism, and of terrorists from Saudi Arabia. Also the sources give significant coverage of the subject. That being said, at a casual skimming of the sources I did not see anything where the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is directly sponsoring the terrorist organizations or individuals. Therefore, the scope of the subject of this AfD should be changed to match the subjects of the reliable sources it uses.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and merge to State-sponsored terrorism. There are some reliable sources, but they're mentioning facts and incidents about attacks and a country.

Keep. The topic and its very label has received growing academic attention, such as here: http://pps.sagepub.com/content/6/3/215.short . So, even if some current sources are weak, the article can be upgraded. The scope goes beyond US and South Africa, e.g. on French wikipedia: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racisme_antiblanc .Whether reverse racism is reality or perception is, of course, a subject of further debate. But the topic is there to stay, and it belongs on wikipedia.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 15:25, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Of academic worth,and is a highly contentious issue which has been discussed widely by both the press and in academia. It is of my opinion, however, that the majority of the article needs to be re-written and expanded. Particularly as the existence of "reverse-racism" is implied throughout the article, even though it is hotly debated whether 'reverse-racism' truly exists.Veryirregularuser (talk) 08:51, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I can't really argue against this nomination, since none of these vehicles is notable in their own right. One thing that the Space: 1999 topic currently lacks, however, is a list of spacecraft (in the style of List of spacecraft from the Space Odyssey series, etc.). If I have time, I'll see about creating one and merging in some of the content from these separate articles. A fair amount of the purely in-universe material could be either dropped entirely or transferred to the relevant episode pages, which are well-sourced. The titles could then be redirected to the list page as a possible alternative to deletion. Super Mario Man 22:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge selectively to make a section in Space: 1999. The template for this series suggests that WP has a grossly excessive number of articles on this already.

Delete (only "reviews" found were written by the developer) TEDickey (talk) 20:38, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - Notability not enough though a review http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/FireCMD.shtml is written by third party. This link supports it: http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/ . This link http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/FireCMD-Screenshot-234232.html shows screenshots taken by third party (with their copyright notice) with captions. Moreover the software is being discussed at various programming forums and answer sites (though not a reliable source) like this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16352779/how-to-run-powershell-in-firecmd. Software is available for download from multiple download directory sites. No point in deleting it when it seems like it may meet notability standard very soon. Also the software is being displayed on the home page of this reputed site, tagged as a new & popular software (not an advertisement) - http://alternativeto.net/ Nickjames90 (talk) 03:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Softpedia may call that a review, but I don't. All they've done is assign 1 to 5 stars without explaining how or why and without even signing the review with a byline. That's not serious review at all. Alternativeto is even less useful: The "like" votes may well be from the developers friends; there's no way to tell. It's certainly not reliable. And, yes, there is point in deleting an article that does not meet the notability standard, even if we think it might meet it soon: The point is that we have guidelines and we agree to cooperate and follow them. The guidelines ask that we ascertain there are sources now. We do not guess about the future. Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. If additional sources appear a month from now, the article can easily be reinstated without prejudice. It can also be WP:USERFIED so you can work on it while searching for sources.

Superdownloads is not a reliable source. Msnicki (talk) 02:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Which kind of sources can be considered as reliable sources? The site has got Google PR 6. Nickjames90 (talk) 03:46, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Superdownloads doesn't have any meaningful reputation for accuracy or editorial oversight. They're basically a catalog site and vendor of free downloads. This has nothing to do with popularity or PageRank. For more, please see WP:RS. Msnicki (talk) 08:38, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How did you determine this measure of "meaningful reputation" exactly? It looks like a "real" review site to me, complete with local content. This is not Softpedia. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:07, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know they're a catalog site and vendor of free downloads because (in case you couldn't tell by looking) that's what they say they are. From their about page, "Operates in Brazil since 1998, as a large catalog of software with more than 30,000 available for download from games, demos, shareware and freeware." They're no more reliable than a product description on Amazon, which we also do not accept as a suitable to establish notability. Msnicki (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't ask you what they were, so I'm not sure why you're answering some other question. But to that topic, download.com is also a "catalog site and vendor of free downloads", yet their reviews are CITEd all over the place. So back to my actual question: by what measure is a download.com review "good" and Superdownloads one "bad"? Can you offer any cogent metric? Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The metric (at least, for me) is that they shouldn't be in the business of vending (even for free) the stuff they're reviewing. But also, I would point to the guidelines. To me, Superdownloads appears to be an WP:SPS: "This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), CBDB.com, collaboratively created websites such as wikis, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users." I certainly understand that some editors might interpret the guidelines differently, but this is how I would call it. Msnicki (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For me the reliablility of the superdownloads.com site is undetermined. We don't know if it provides editorial oversight into the selection of software for review. It might or might not be. If there were other somewhat decent sources and this might tip the balance, then it might be worthwhile to post at the RS/N for an evaluation. But given that this is the only potential reliable source scraped up so far, even if it were to be deemed reliable, there's no other source to go with it. -- Whpq (talk) 22:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Superdownloads does not appears to be a WP:SPS to me. I read some reviews and it appears that reviews are written by editorial staff, rather than users. Nickjames90 (talk) 02:18, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Legitimate reviews aren't 100% positive. Find a review anywhere on that site where they identify flaws in anything. This is a catalog site in the business of offering downloads so of course everything is wonderful. I'll say again: These are no more reliable than the product descriptions on Amazon. Like Whpq, I don't exactly know how their reviews are generated but no way is this a publication with clear editorial oversight. Msnicki (talk) 06:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, they write positive reviews. But that does not mean that Superdownloads is not reliable. They do comparisons with other products. It can be only said not reliable in the case if their positive reviews are misleading and they write points about the product that are not true. Nickjames90 (talk) 09:34, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing truth and reliability. They could be reporting things truthfully but that does not make them a reliable source. A reliable source is one with a reputation and editorial oversight, no conflict of interest and, in the case of a review, the ability to tell both sides, both the positive and the negative. I don't think anyone doubts that Amazon's product descriptions are true but that doesn't make them a reliable source, either. Do you see the difference? Msnicki (talk) 14:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon product descriptions are created by the users(the seller) and not by the editors of Amazon. But Superdownloads reviews seems to be created by editors and not by the users. You are 100% right that a good review should also cover the negative side but that does not make Superdownloads a non-reliable source. Comparatively the reviews which tell about both the sides can be considered as a better or more reliable source. We can compare a download.com review and Superdownloads review and can easily say that download.com review is more reliable than a Superdownloads review but we cant say that Superdownloads review is not reliable just because it does not show the negative side. Nickjames90 (talk) 14:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well, you still think they're a WP:RS and I don't so I've posted the question to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Superdownloads.com.br. Msnicki (talk) 15:29, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice that the images in the Superdownloads review are the same ones as used on the developer's site? How do we know they even installed and ran this product before writing the review? I think they just paraphrased whatever the developer said, copied his screenshots and called it good. If this site is promising 30K downloads, it's obviously not about searching out only the very best. It's about having more content than anyone else, even if most of it is indiscriminate. If the whole point is merely lots of content, one quick way to generate it is with paid website content writers, e.g., here, where you can buy it by the word, hour or page. Superdownloads is in Brazil, where labor rates may be cheap enough to allow them to employ an army of freelance writers furiously scribbling pages as fast as possible. Msnicki (talk) 16:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then again (as in more than one of the previous download-sites mentioned), the Superdownloads page may have been placed by the Brainasoft developer TEDickey (talk) 00:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Got your point. Even considering Superdownloads as a reliable source, it is not enough to establish notability. Nickjames90 (talk) 02:15, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frederic B. Pratt[edit]

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

One of a number of articles about relatives of oil magnate Charles Pratt. It's been unsourced for 5 years. The fact he was president of the board of the Pratt Institute is unremarkable, considering he is one of the family. By and large this is a genealogical piece which would be better recorded elsewhere. Sionk (talk) 09:12, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He seems to be a leader of industry and gets a few credit points for being related to someone important and being the president of that institution is remarkable however he got the job. There are many hits for him in the New York Times archive, more than passing coverage, including coverage of his death [13]. AFD isn't the place for sourcing issues, see WP:BEFORE. Barney the barney barney (talk) 09:55, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou, but I had a look for sources and didn't see anything compelling. There's no evidence he was a "leader of industry" and people certainly don't inherit notability here from their parents. He was President of an Art College which, today or 100 years ago, doesn't automatically give a free pass through WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 11:47, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know there's "no evidence" when you don't have any sources and haven't apparently looked at them? Barney the barney barney (talk) 12:15, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why not stop jumping to assumptions about me and stick to identifying significant in-depth coverage about Frederic Pratt? The 'hits' in the NYT archive are largely society notices and announcements about events that he, or his relatives, were involved in, for example attending weddings, funerals, fetes, balls, or handing out the annual graduation certificates. Whether that's significant enough to mark him out, well, my opinion would be no, it isn't. Sionk (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And why do you think there are several mentions in the social circulars? Might it be that he was a notable businessman and philanthropist, or did the NYT just decide to include a series of random facts about anyone and anything? Barney the barney barney (talk) 13:17, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROF Criterion 6 does indeed state: "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society."

Keep - See my argument above. Clearly passes WP:PROF Criterion 6. And I'm working on improving the referencing. Edwardx (talk) 22:31, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- per Criterion 6: the president of the board of trustees at Pratt is the president of the school, which is a significant institution. How he got there is irrelevant to the criterion; it doesn't matter if he's an academic or not, it's that he led a significant academic institution. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 05:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Point 6 quite clearly applies to academic posts. Appointed or elected academic posts, such as academic Chair posts, are indications of significant academic achievement in teaching/research, hence denoting the likelihood of notability. WP:PROF is a notability criteria for academics, isn't it. Sionk (talk) 14:30, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Michael, is there any sort of information to that effect? The title "President of the Board of Trustees" is no longer used at the modern Pratt website. It's really a question of whether he was running the school on a day to day basis or whether he was more removed, at least in my mind. A person who functions as the head of a major academic institution is notable for his academic contributions, regardless of what his formally listed vocation might be. Ray^Talk 15:23, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ray -- you're right that a RS list of presidents would be helpful. I was mostly going on our own list at Pratt Institute which lists him as the sole president 1893–1937. If there were evidence that someone else was actually running the place and he was a figurehead I'd reconsider, but from this NYTimes article it really looks like he was running things and was notable for his commissioning of architects. The Pratt Institute website refers to the brother Charles simply as "President" for his two year term [14] (see 1891), so I don't think it's too much to suppose that he was anything less... Aha! This brochure published by Pratt for its 125th anniversary [15] calls him president on pp. 13 and 14 and on p. 27 says "1923 Frederic B. Pratt becomes president of the board of trustees and assumes leadership of the Institute." (emphasis added). I think it's pretty clear that he was in charge of a major institution, which is a pass of WP:PROF#C6; and the other sources are enough to establish GNG also. Note the obit in the NYTimes -- always enough for GNG if it's unpaid. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 01:31, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And note from NYTimes obit -- honorary doctorate Amherst College, which is spelled out in WP:PROF as also a clear sign of notability. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 01:34, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Pratt was not an academic. Thus references to WP:PROF are irrelevant.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Gnews link contains a lot of coverage of him as heir to one of the country's greater fortunes, not least of which is his obituary in the New York Times [16]. Numerous other sources only referenced in digital databases, due to age of the subject, searching through EBSCO and the like. I think it's quite probable that he may pass the GNG; I may try to track down some of the sources. Ray^Talk 15:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great. I'm sitting on the fence here with regards to a recommendation either way. If there's anything beyond brief mentions in the newspapers of the day, it may tip the balance (clearly WP:PROF is irrelevant but I'd give credit to anyone who can show he meets WP:GNG).

Keep The president of the board of tustees of a major academic institution like Pratt Institute is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The claims "Prat was not an academic" ignore the fact that he held the top post at a major Academic Institution. He was leading a major academic institution in a postion that clearly is one that we consider all holders of ntoabel, he was notable, we should have the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All we're saying is he wasn't an academic. The noun 'academic' normally refers to a teacher or someone studying at a college. The fact he was leading a college of education is something different, maybe a valid claim to notability depending on your viewpoint. Sionk (talk) 15:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is very rare for the President or Chair of a Board of Trustees to be President of the organization, but Pratt was at least at the time an exception. So he was head of a university level institution -- even in its early days it was famous, so he meets the criterion for notability . We do not have to investigate how or why he was appointed--it doesn't make any difference. If we start rejecting heads of organizations because of nepotism, it's going to get absurd. If he were effectually acting president, or president for a few months of transition, it might make a difference; but he was president for 44 years. And there was a full editorial obit from the NYT, which we have always accepted as proof of notability. HI think we have also always accepted honorary doctorates. That NYT obit is enough for the GNG (we'll find them in other papers also, but they're not as well indexed). I find it strange to understand the objections here once it was clear he was effectual executive head of the college; I find it inconceivable that there remain objections after the NYT obit was pointed out.

As the original author of the page (and a rookie wikipedia editor), I agree that the information is not full enough to have an article by itself. It can be merged into a subtopic of a previous generation GeForce page (either 700 or 800) Rgrasmus (talk) 14:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thing is, that's not really appropriate. For starters, neither of those have been released, so talk of a "successor" is very premature. Secondly, this article is solely sourced to an NVidia blog post - not even an official roadmap on their website, or in a press release. That's not to say that you couldn't source it better, but I didn't bother looking as this is way in the future. Thirdly, if any information was to be located, then it may belong in the main GeForce article - but as it's all speculation (and, seemingly, quite wild speculation as well), then it's not really appropriate to do that either. It's also completely pointless having this userfied (it would have to stay there for at least 2 years; may as well start from scratch when it comes closer to the release date.)

Weak delete. There doesn't seem to be much in English-language sources but there was some international coverage (e.g., the cited article in the Brisbane Times) article claims extended coverage in Hungarian media, which might be enough for notability. Note that the age of the article is irrelevant: if the subject was notable five years ago, it is still notable now and continued coverage is not a requirement.

Merge anything relevant to Petersen graph and delete as an unlikely search term and non-notable concept. Stalwart111 07:18, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Academic papers are not inherently notable and this one doesn't seem to have had any more impact than the norm and certainly doesn't meet WP:GNG. I don' think there's any need to merge any of the content into Petersen graph: people conjecture and prove things all the time. Full proofs (or disproofs) of long-standing conjectures can be worth a comment but "Robertson, with some co-authors, provided a partial proof of one of his own conjectures" isn't likely to be, even with Robertson being one of the world's leading graph theorists. Also, though this isn't a reason for deletion, the current article seems somewhat inaccurate, since it talks about "the counterexample", which is not a counterexample to the conjecture but, rather, to the idea that a stronger version of the conjecture holds for non-cubic graphs. ‎Dricherby (talk) 09:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I should say I have no objection if expert (or more informed, at least) opinion is that there is nothing worth merging. Your explanation seems sound and I'm happy to accept that the sum total of merge-worthy content may well be zero. Stalwart111 10:28, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd describe myself as "informed", rather than "expert" on this topic.

The work seems non-notable, or at least it is WP:TOOSOON. The work itself doesn't prove the conjecture, only a special (albeit useful) case. The new editor creating this article also created one other article, on Michael D. Plummer, also an author on the paper, suggesting that the editor may have some association to this paper or its authors. With the paper falling below general notability guidelines, and no other secondary works discussing this proof, this article also fails general notability guidelines, per WP:GNG.

I came across this as a PROD and seeing as it didn't pass WP:NFF at that point in time, I redirected it to Sexual Perversity in Chicago#Film adaptations since it was simply WP:TOOSOON for this to pass notability guidelines. The film doesn't release until next year and all of the coverage so far has been "so and so is starring in this film" type of coverage. Nothing that would show that the film passes the very strict standards for unreleased films. I've tried redirecting this three times, giving the editor several warnings that this didn't pass notability guidelines. Since they seem to be adamant about this remaining an article, I'm taking it to AfD to ensure that this doesn't pass notability guidelines at this point in time.

Note that the same editor has tried to create this through AfC and has been declined twice. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also note that the same editor has deleted the passage I put in the article for Sexual Perversity in Chicago for this film, possibly in an attempt to dissuade any further attempts to redirect. I've left messages for the editor, but with zero response from him or her. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ as PRODder (PROD). While I would prefer a delete, I would support a consensus to redirect-and-protect to Sexual Perversity in Chicago#Film adaptations. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:54, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update There are now more references and this article may meet WP:GNG. I am not familiar enough with film-related deletion debates to determine if the listed coverage is considered significant by Wikipedia standards. Changing from "delete" to "defer to history of similar discussions where there was similar coverage." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect for now as above to Sexual Perversity in Chicago#Film adaptations. As the film has been receiving coverage, and IS in post-production an undeletion/recreation is likely to be expected soon enough that a salting should be unneccessary. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC) Struck my opinion. See below. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think I have seen the articles in pre-production and filming status. This film is in post-production state and can be kept at Wikipedia according to the policies. And you know this better than me.-- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ^{( T - C - G )} 04:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While an article in "post" is more likely to have received significant coverage than a similarly-well-known/similarly-promoted movie in the pre-production or filming stage would, there are no doubt films that get widely covered within 24 hours of the announcement of the plans for the film. On the flip side, there are many films that actually exist which are not notable. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The biggie here is that the film's production would have to have received a lot of in-depth coverage, which this film hasn't. Most of what we have is so insanely light that it wouldn't really keep the film if, by some chance, the film were to release and receive zero coverage after that fact. It might seem unlikely that it wouldn't receive any further coverage, but it's not impossible and there have been multiple films in similar circumstances that were either pushed back even farther (and gotten no additional in-depth coverage) or released with no actual other coverage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the notability guidelines for future films because it is verifiable that production has taken place and per the general notability guidelines since there was coverage in both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter about this film in development. (Also found this from Toronto Sun in my research.) Considering the director and the cast, I find it highly unlikely that this film will not be reviewed. Its notability will only be further reinforced as the release date gets closer. Tokyogirl79, my experience with film coverage is that there is generally a lot of attention at the start (especially from the trade papers I mentioned) due to big names being involved, and there is a second surge of coverage right around the time of the film's release. In between, circumstances will vary. Subject matter with fan bases (e.g., comic book films) will be heavily covered throughout its whole production. If a film is shot somewhere relatively unusual (e.g., Shreveport, Louisiana), there tends to be local coverage to draw upon. However, there is a subset of films that go through production without much attention, but I think that the early (and especially repeated) coverage from the trade papers make it highly likely that this is a film that will get attention upon arrival. Is there a chance that it won't ever be released? Yes, but for films that have entered production, the odds of that are very, very small. In my opinion, it's not enough to delete this article which, considering these circumstances, is not detrimental to have on Wikipedia. Erik (talk | contribs) 13:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a "Production" section using the aforementioned trade papers. I think that there is more substance than just who appears in the film, even though I think even that would be enough in such an article. Even a cast list is useful in terms of navigating Wikipedia instead of IMDb or other websites; readers who hear about the film can come here and then look at the actors' articles. In any case, I've added a bit about development history (personally find it neat that it was in development since Jan. '11) and that casting began before a director was found. Not to mention filming at Dodger Stadium. Sorry to add on, I just think this is a clear-cut case and wanted to articulate and demonstrate why. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per major improvements and in agreeing with Erik. GNG is now met for a completed film. Was happy to strike my earlier opinion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing nom. I'm not too proud to admit that I was wrong, so can someone close this up? I didn't see the sources when I'd searched and I'd been pretty certain that this was just one of many articles added by a green editor with unreliable sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Closeup I think it is better to close it up for now...after agreeing of Tokyogirl79.-- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ^{( T - C - G )} 06:20, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:PORNBIO, the only valid award is the nominee for XBIZ Award, both Tranny Awards and Blog O Porn O's Model of the Year are not notable/well-known awards and do not count towards notability. Being an extra in a notable film or having a supporting role in a non-notable TV-movie does not count for notability. Playboy TV's Foursome has several news sources and appears to be a possibly-notable TV-program, but none of the sources I have found mentions Janine at all.

Delete as a failure of GNG. Okay, time for a pop quiz on BLP. Who has problems with the following???

(1) Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her mother, a registered nurse; her stepfather, a warehouse manager; her father, a retired Vietnam Veteran Sergeant; her stepmother, a CPA; three steps brothers, and one half brother. — UNSOURCED

(2) Alia's parent's were never married, and with both of her parent's other marriages, Alia moved a total of 28 times and went to 12 different school in 3 states. -- SOURCED TO A DE FACTO FAN WIKI

(3) Alia had a passion for dancing that had lead her to become an exotic dancer in her early 20s. -- UNSOURCED

(4) Before she had fully learned the burlesque circuit she had fallen in love, and decided to settle down only after a year and half of performing. --UNSOURCED

(5) She then attended college at a local technical school to study on of her other passions, the law, and went for a degree in Criminal Justice. --UNSOURCED

(6) In her first year she made the honor roll, by her second year she was a member of two honor societies, her last year she was certified for law enforcement, and obtained her private security license for the state of Wisconsin. -- UNSOURCED

(7) After a horrible breakup Alia decided to try to pursue dancing one more time. -- UNSOURCED

(8) On her 30th birthday she moved to Florida to attend dance school. -- UNSOURCED

(9) Dancing wasn't the only art she explored in Florida, however, and she soon gave performing in pornographic movies a try. --UNSOURCED

(10) Though she is most popularly known for her work against Measure B, the mandatory condom law in Los Angeles. --UNSOURCED

(11) Besides performing on stage and in films, Alia has also posed for magazines such as "Score", "Gent", "D-Cup", "Busty Beauties" and is in Lainie Speiser's book, "Confessions of the Hundred Hottest Porn Stars." --UNSOURCED

(12) Alia has also hosted "Foursome" (2006) for Playboy TV, and has also tried things on the mainstream side of the entertainment industry. --UNSOURCED

AFD for band article here. If the band is deleted as not notable, I see no basis for listing their albums. Best practice to follow in the future would be to have listed this along with the band's article in one AFD, or to at least link to that AFD given that this is largely dependent on it, instead of making readers track it down on their own. postdlf (talk) 03:14, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the above !votes provides any appropriate basis for keeping an article whose subject fails the GNG and all applicable SNGs. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 12:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Has been nominated for AVN awards multiple times per WP:PORNBIO. However, there doesn't seem to be much else of note for this article. Weak Delete Only one non-scene AVN aware per WP:PORNBIO. If there were anything else that contributed to notability, I would change my opinion back to Weak Keep.Transcendence (talk) 21:00, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that, per PORNBIO, "Nominations and awards in scene-related and ensemble categories are excluded from consideration", and that two of three nominations for the subject are scene categories and therefore, per PORNBIO, are not counted.

Delete - This one's honestly a tough call and probably in the gray area a little bit, but I don't think she quite fits the notability guidelines. Not enough notability to meet WP:PORNBIO as established earlier, and it's nice to have a stub article referenced with more than two references, but there's not enough of a body here to make use of them. Most likely, I'd say that's because there's not enough notability to have any available verifiable information to put in the body of the article.

Delete. I don't see where this particular manga is really notable as far as Wikipedia's guidelines for books go. It hasn't been officially released in English and a look at Japanese sources (using Google Translate) brings up little as well. I'd recommend a redirect to the author's page, but I can't really find much on her page to suggest notability as well. There is some merit in using the name as a redirect to the completely unrelated book "The Little Prince" since the original French title is "Le Petit Prince" and it's reasonable enough to assume that someone would type in "Petite Prince" trying to navigate to the French novel.

Changing vote to just "delete" per the comments below. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The standard Romanization of the katakana title is Puchi Puri. I see no reason for having a letter 'e' in "Petite". Where did that come from? --Lambiam 10:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. Must've been a fansub and the editor just copied it. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 22:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would make a lot of sense. Since this is the case, I have no issue with it being a redirect for the Little Prince. As far as the "e" goes, I think it might just be the person writing it being more familiar with the Western/English spelling of "petite" rather than the French spelling "petit".
