The result was no consensus. Admittedly the situation has changed a number of times during the discussion but I think editorial action can take it from here, whether that be userfying, redirecting, or merging. Someone should also try to fix the fact that some of the references are in parentheses and others are not. Stifle (talk) 09:21, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of Salticidae species[edit]

There are over 5000 species of spider in the family Salticidae. New ones are constantly being added and old ones are frequently synonymized or moved to different genera. There is no possibility of Wikipedia maintaining an up-to-date list of these 5000+ spiders while also constantly updating the redundant lists under the 560+ genera articles for this family. Indeed, this list already includes dozens, if not hundreds, of errors. The normal way this is handled is by having a list of genera (which we already have at List of Salticidae genera) and maintaining the species lists under each genus article. For comparison, the number of bird species is roughly the same order of magnitude, but no one has created List of bird species. Instead we have the manageable List of birds, which lists only the subgroups, while the actual species lists are one or two levels further down the article hierarchy. Also consider that there are dozens of editors working on birds and only 2 or 3 editors working on Salticidae (minus Philcha who passed away recently). Please have mercy on us!

Support, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. There are already several online databases that are regularly updated, such as ITIS and Catalog of Life, that contain virtually the exact same data here.--Animalparty-- (talk) 08:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I created these pages, and they came in very handy when working on the spider section, but now that I don't have time for it, it is probably not of great use. Keeping it updated would not be a great problem though, I have a script somewhere that parses the World Spider Catalog and creates these Wiki pages. I just haven't been running it for a while. --Sarefo (talk) 11:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarefo: It looks like your script hasn't run since 2009. If you started running it again, I would be happy to withdraw the deletion nomination. Otherwise, it is pretty much hopeless to keep this list up to date by hand (and extremely tedious). Kaldari (talk) 21:57, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I abandoned the spider work some years ago. As nobody seems to have picked it up, I don't think the Salticidae Species list has a lot of use these days. As I said, it was really helpful while building the Wikipedia Salticidae scaffolding. I will look into running the script again though, I'll try to do it within a week or so. That should update all of the Spider family pages. However, should you consider deleting the Salticidae species page(s), I will not be the one to stop you.--Sarefo (talk) 14:01, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarefo: is the script something that a typical programmer might be able to figure out how to use? If so, posting it to the main talk page could be of use to a future editor. ––Agyle (talk) 00:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do not support. Having the list(s) available for editing by people connected with Wikipedia gives one way of keeping data easily available and also for making notations on matters under dispute, why Wikipedia articles have chosen to give priority to one or another disputed interpretation, etc. Nobody who knows what is going on in current attempts to revise species designations to conform to new research would expect to find a final answer to any question. P0M (talk) 18:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Patrick0Moran: The data is already available under each of the genus articles. Why do we need a consolidated list? We don't have list articles for any other groups of organisms this big (at least that I have ever seen). Kaldari (talk) 05:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • If so wished, I could put it under my user account. The main point of the list is to make it easy to have a wikified version that is up to date. --Sarefo (talk) 07:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Interesting point. How would "less comprehensive" look like? A complete list is a complete list, so I don't see any way to do this. The WSC contains bibliographical information not included in the wiki pages, doesn't that count as "incomplete"? If I would compile it myself, I would end up with the exact same list. What if only the genera were compiled from the WSC, would that be COPYVIO? Not trying to be snappy, just want to get a feeling for this. I don't have time to delve into this right now, but I could provide anyone with the script if so desired. --Sarefo (talk) 07:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • He may be referring to the geographic information. Anything else would be pretty much impossible to present any differently, and thus would not be eligible for copyright protection in the U.S. Kaldari (talk) 08:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deciding what to include in or exclude from a given classification system can be somewhat arbitrary; I doubt any of the major classification sources agree on everything. If you're being precise, all you can say is it's a complete list of species from a given source, at a particular time. It would be vague to say "this is a complete species list" without a footnote of qualifications, and it would be perfectly correct to say "this is a complete list of species included in ITIS as of January 13 2014," even if it's very different from other lists. Concerning the legal minutia of copyrights of collections of data, protection hinges on whether there were subjective choices involved in what to include in the data. I don't know how Dr. Platnick gathers his data, but if he makes subjective decisions on which taxa to accept and which to reject, or which binomial authorities to credit, it is exceptionally unlikely that your own independent decision-making would result in precisely the same list. On the other hand, if he relies entirely on publicly released, public domain data from a third party, then that portion of his data would not be protected. This has a more detailed layperson explanation. ––Agyle (talk) 18:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, but that's specifically referring to species lists in genus articles, which we already have for all genera under Salticidae. Kaldari (talk) 18:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In accordance with the criteria for musicians and ensembles:

1. Has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works. Page cites a single about.com interview and I can't find others. Whether an about.com subdomain blog is non-trivial is debatable.

2. Has reportedly had a remix appear briefly on a Billboard genre chart but citations may not be reliable.

3. Has not had a gold record.

4. Has not had non-trivial coverage of a international/national concert tour.

5. Has not released two or more albums on a major record nor one of the more important indie labels.

6. Is not an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, nor a musician who has been a reasonably-prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.

7. Has not become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style, nor the most prominent of a local scene of a city. (Note: this kind of needs sources for it to be a reason to keep the article.)

8. Has not won, nor been nominated for a major music award. The page cites him as a nominee for something called the International Dance Music Awards at the Winter Music Conference but this is arguably not a major award.

9. Has not won, nor placed in a major music competition.

10. Has not performed music for a work of media that is notable.

11. Has not been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio nor music television network.

12. Has not been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across national radio nor TV network.

The IDMAs are considered of particular note over on the Wiki EDM page. These are significant awards for artistic achievement in electronic music since there is no such thing as the electronic dance Grammys or an AMW specifically for dance music. This is EDMs version of those. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 06:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What was being advertised was the artist's picture at the very top of the [Electronic Dance Music] page. It was by no means, a good picture. The picture quality wasn't great, nor was the subject. However, due to some anonymous users vehemently re-linking the picture to the top of the page seemed to indicate advertising. edMarkViolinistDrop me a line 04:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how you deem this an "advertisement" when the photo has there since 2006 - the majority of those seven years without any reference at all to the artist actually in the photo. I am the one who tagged him in the photo as it was only appropriate to do so. Apparently that irritated you enough to come over here to raise questionable objections and try to get his page deleted. Your snarky comment above: "The picture quality wasn't great, nor was the subject" just reinforces my suspicion your motives for deletion are of a personal nature and not academic. I really don't know what gives you the authority to show up out of the blue and remove a photo that has been there for seven years under the objection that it was an "advertisement". It's hardly such if the photo sat anonymous all this time. I'll probably reinstate it again when I get a few minutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 07:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to organize this page a little more. I'd really like to see some input from a more experienced user about why to keep the page, as the IP addresses posting here aren't familiar with our standards for notability involving references. Just to add, it seems as if the IP addresses have been following this artist for a while. Association, a few scattered nominations, and remixes don't make a notable artist. edMarkViolinistDrop me a line 04:20, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"I'd really like to see some input from a more experienced user about why to keep the page..." I agree. Without making accusations of only WP:SPA, it is worthwhile to note that all editors wanting to keep the page either have no edit history or have a strong history of primarily editing the page in question.

As for the standards of notability, #2 states: "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." The Bradenton Herald article referenced above does definitively discuss the artist's production being cause for the Billboard charting. Doing garden variety remixes are one thing, having remixes commissioned by the subsidiary of a major label and then having that remix not only chart on Billboard, but end up in the #1 slot is significant. I don't come up with the rules here but this satisfies the requirement. If the IDMA are not of note, then no one will have any objection to me blanking its mention from the electronic dance music page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 07:01, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He had a remix of his end up on someone else's album end up on Billboard, not his own album or his own single. This does not meet the standards of notability, plain as day. edMarkViolinistDrop me a line 20:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you can bring something substantive to the conversation, I'm removing the deletion tags. WP doesn't make the distinction you're talking about. For instance, Dr. Luke produces music for other people that ends up on Billboard - his name is only in production or writing credits. You're muddying the roles of artist vs producer. Sharaz's production work...ended up on Billboard, and this is absolutely no different. If you cannot make this very basic logical connection, that's your problem, not mine or Mr. Sharaz's. Again, unless you have something substantive and relevant to talk about, let's move on. To avoid this going into perpetuity, I suggest you move on to greener pastures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 02:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Due to Wikipedia rules, you can't actually remove the tags. So if you do, I'll be warning you for Vandalising the page. This is what goes on on Wikipedia, if someone believes (as Radiodef and I) an article to not meet the criteria for notability, then we follow the rules of WP:AFD. Just because you don't believe it is correct that DJ Sharaz's page should be deleted does not mean you have the ultimate say in whether to keep his page or not; hence, the process we have here. If you don't like the rules here, please move along, and have a wonderful rest of your day. edMarkViolinistDrop me a line 02:27, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do not remove the AFD template. We have been through this before. For that matter, removing the template does not close the AFD and the template will just be replaced by a bot like the last time you tried to remove the template. An AFD can only be closed by a moderator. Radiodef (talk) 22:11, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your counterpoints get weaker and weaker which is why you've stopped responding to valid points. You have nothing else. Go meddle with someone who won't address your ridiculous arguments and fabrications. Why did you delete the Afrika Bambaataa reference from Electronic Music Magazine? Scared it might bolster the other side's defense? You still haven't responded to this. You and RadioDef have been removing article information on the DJ Sharaz page to fit your position (whilst accusing others', including myself, of "advertising" the subject with zero proof to back up your assertions) - which makes both of you complicit in willful obfuscation in order to prove your point. Again if IDMA isn't "arguably" a notable award why don't you remove the reference from the EDM page where you like to troll so much? Seems you should probably stick to military history and leave the EDM music discussion to those of us who actually know what's going on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 04:46, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The song in question was a retail single, not an album - please do proper research! Mr. Violin deemed this page "unnotable" when he blanked the photo over at the Electronic Dance Music page, which was before he came over here and opened the discussion. He also called the photo "self-promotion" and still hasn't explained how he arrived at that conclusion. Does he have any proof it was self promoting? Does he even know who placed the photo there and when? This was an assumption. It's quite accusatory and the allegation was cast without any proof. His comments above about the subject and the photo are bizarre. The blanking of an article mentioning the subject that appeared in a long-standing national publication covering electronic music and electronic musicians is very bothersome, especially if it was deleted by one of the editors objecting to the page. Who deleted it and why? Mr Violin also hasn't been able to successfully dispute the article deemed above as being not "reliable". Did he call the organization to see if it exists and is not a fabrication? I highly doubt this since he won't even admit to its veracity despite proof to the contrary. I think several people here have introduced valid points - I also am of the belief that the producer made the song what it was and that's why it charted where it did. The Dr. Luke analogy is a good one BTW. People produce hits for other artists, happens all the time. Sharaz produced a #1 Billboard hit for Fierce Ruling Diva. Simple as that, and I don't see where there's a basis for an argument unless the whole story is a fabrication. You can't take that accomplishment away from the guy. Not many people can say they produced a #1 Billboard track. Mr. Violin using words above like "briefly appeared on a genre chart" are unnecessary as wiki doesn't say how long a song or album needs to be charted, only that it did. Genre charts are allowed here, too, so I'm not sure why that was even mentioned. Anyway, trying to be fair and that's my view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sotoma665 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK so let’s recap - producing a #1 Billboard single isn’t notable, producing for one of the godfathers of hip hop isn’t notable, producing singles for a subsidiary of a major record label isn’t notable, real newspaper articles verifying this don’t really exist, and if you’re not written about in TMZ’s superstar DJ blog, you’re not notable either. Oh and being nominated by one of the biggest worldwide EDM award-givers isn’t important. Not to mention that this producer traveled back in time to 2006 to plaster an anonymous image of himself on an EDM wiki page for the purpose of "self promotion". Great! I think I got it. Probably 2/3rds of the musicians (especially session musicians) on WP need to be blanked then. Forgive my sarcasm, I can’t help it after reading through this entire argument. Just so I’m clear to everyone, I feel the article be kept here on WP, the defenders have done an admirable job of telling us why the subject should stay. 174.47.33.226 (talk) 18:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Going down these one by one:
  • Producing a #1 Billboard single.
There are a number of reasons this could be a questionable reason for notability. Using Dr. Luke as an example (because somebody mentioned him), you will notice Dr. Luke production discography does not list chart history (compare to Paul McCartney discography). Dr. Luke is on WP because he has major awards and nominations and more generally has been covered in lots of publications. Note that remixing is not the same as being the artist. For matters of attribution, Billboard considers them different. Billboard considers it a #1 hit for Fierce Ruling Diva. Producing #1 hits may not be a reason for Dr. Luke to be on WP either. If DJ Sharaz had his own song on Billboard it would be different. That's just how Billboard works.
  • Producing for one of the godfathers of Hip-Hop.
I'm not sure what this is referring to. Tommy Boy Records? This smells like WP:PEACOCK. And as I've said before, being on a remix album is not the same thing as being on an artist roster.
  • Producing singles for a subsidiary of a major record label.
Again, peacock. The phrase used in the article is "remixes have been provided by Sharaz" which is not the same thing as being on an artist roster. Furthermore, I cannot find a reference for the association. All sources I can find on Google that state this use the exact same phrase and appear copy and pasted from the WP article. (For example [1] which even says "Source: Wikipedia".)
  • Real newspaper articles verifying this don’t really exist.
Nobody said it doesn't exist. This seems like a poor attempt at reductio ad absurdum. What has been said is the article is hosted on DJ Sharaz's personal website which makes it questionable for WP. For example, if this were allowed, then somebody could fake an article and there are absolutely people that would do that. I do not know DJ Sharaz and so I do not know if he would or would not do that. As editors we can not and do not make judgments like that so this kind of thing is not appropriate. The authenticity of the source in question can not be determined.
  • If you’re not written about in TMZ’s superstar DJ blog, you’re not notable either.
This is of course an exaggeration of the notability requirement but it's true that DJ Sharaz has not been covered by major news outlets.
  • Being nominated by one of the biggest worldwide EDM award-givers isn’t important.
There are major awards that electronic music is eligible for and many electronic artists have major awards. This is, again, peacock. DJ Sharaz had a nomination for a minor award.
Lastly, for non-involved editors that may be reading this discussion, no blanking has occurred or is intended. Calling anything blanking in this discussion is either an insinuation or ignorance of terminology. Radiodef (talk) 22:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not changing my position on the Billboard thing. His music, written for someone else for-hire on a subsidiary of a major label, was charted on Billboard. If you really want to split hairs, why don't you compare his version to the original? Red herring.

Which awards are we talking about then? You are overly broad here with no specifics, only "There are major awards that electronic music is eligible for and many electronic artists have major awards." IDMA is an industry award, overseen by EDM industry people at one of the most important EDM music conferences in the world. These are the ONLY official awards at WMC. I think you are forgetting that. You've determined it to be a minor award for the purposes of this discussion, and only to support your argument. If these are minor awards, delete its mention, please, from the EDM page. You are contradictory - it's important enough to remain there but of little importance when it comes to this artist? At least be consistent. Red herring.

No idea what peacock means, please use plain english. Some of us have lives and little time to geek around WP. You obviously have no intention of verifying the article over at the supplying newspaper, only to keep harping on where it was hosted. Considering you seem to be a online search warrior only, I'm not surprised. Something as simple as picking up the phone to verify with the news outlet would be sufficient - instead you'll waste everyone's time and energy here with another red herring. Call The Bradenton Herald and ask for a copy. 941-748-0411 is their phone number. Until then stop saying "The authenticity of the source in question can not be determined." You've been provided a way to accomplish this.

As I said previously, this seems like a personal vendetta - basically you got upset I tagged a seven year old EDM photo with someone whom you don't like. And yes, you blanked the article to EMM with regard to Afrika Bambaataa, not Tommy Boy (if you'd read the comments above you would have known this). Not sure why you did that, but it appears to me an attempt to gut the article so it looks as if few or no citations exist (which is basically a lie) and ultimately achieve your objective of deleting the page. There's probably some kind of rule around here prohibiting that kind of subversion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 17:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What does "minor" have to do with the context? There's no distinction here, only your own. On the flipside, the Billboard Hot Dance Singles Chart is the most prestigious and the most well-known of all dance charts, and probably the most difficult to crack. So it's not "minor" as you say (which shouldn't factor in at all). So, by that measure, it's a major chart and a major accomplishment with regard to this style. This chart position is quoted in quite a few other EDM bios as well. So are the IDMAs. One set of rules for one group of people, another set of rules for the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.9.22.244 (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. However I would be much more inclined to give the naysayers a little more weight if it didn't appear all of them are very poorly versed about the EDM scene & they know even less about Florida EDM/break beat history. With all due respect, I am not interested in listening to a bunch of people who spend their days editing military pages telling us what is and what is not important in the EDM scene. Their Wikipedia editing history seems to have very little to do with what we are talking about here. It appears to me all three contributors suggesting deletion spend nearly all of their time editing pages dealing with military and war history, not dance music or EDM, let alone breakbeat history. This should not be a learn as you go endeavor for them. 2600:1006:B111:6166:5A5:2F0E:68D9:3124 (talk) 21:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just because the majority of my edits occur on Military History-related subjects, does not mean that I cannot tell if an article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. While yes, I do not have as much experience with Florida's EDM/Breakbeat history, I do however, understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Vice versa, the only ones voicing opinion for this page to be kept are all unregistered IP's that have not been around Wikipedia enough to understand the correct notability guidelines.

While you may have, as you say, experience with WP's notability guidelines, you obviously are having a difficult time resolving the relative importance of certain happenings within the EDM community. Way before this was turned into the commercialized circus it is today, EDM was made of up primarily independent artists and labels (it actually still is for the most part although you wouldn't know that by casually looking around). For ANY independent, self-funded artist to make his or her way to a major label, or even positIon #100 on any Billboard chart (even the niche ones) back then was a huge accomplishment. These artists didn't have endorsement deals, PR agents, access to Top 40 radio and lots of coverage like they do today, so I would say it's somewhat disingenuous to look at it from that point of view, rather try and view it by what was occurring at the time. I've been to the Winter Music Conference around 10 or 11 times and I'm one of the few people who actually go there to join the panels, and the IDMAs are considered pretty much top of the food chain within that industry. Just because they've started giving highly publicized Grammy awards to DJs, that should not trivialize the importance of an IDMA within the scope of the electronic music industry itself (like IFMCAs with regard to music composed for film) - industry peer awards like these are extraordinarily important, and that type of nomination or award carries enough weight to further the producer's career. In other words, there are some things specific to EDM being waved off here that are not as insignificant as you wish to believe. By Grammy or American Music Awards standards IDMA is tiny. But with regard to that particular piece of the industry, it's one of the biggest awards there is. By the way, I've not been just following this artist, but quite a few of them for the better part of a decade and a half. They are very small by Rihanna standards but are hugely important and influential to people who have spent a lot of time following this type of music. As far as being unregistered, I simply do not want another user name and password in my life - I have a hard enough time keeping track of them as it is. 108.9.22.244 (talk) 18:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction[edit]

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

Thus first and foremost, we have an entire article that lacks even a single WP:MEDRS compliant citation. I have searched for and not found better references, including a PubMed search for "SSRI sexual persistent", "SSRI sexual post-treatment", "fluoxetine sexual persistent", "fluoxetine sexual post-treatment", "antidepressant sexual persistent" and "antidepressant sexual post-treatment".

Second, given the very limited number of case reports (many of which come from a single academic group) from among literally hundreds of millions who have used these drugs, and the complex interplay of physiological, psychological, and environmental factors in human sexual motivation, it seems to me that the evidence for the existence of this syndrome is marginal at best.

Third, even if real, it seems undue weight to have an entire article dedicated to a side effect reported in a dozen individuals among hundreds of millions who have taken these drugs. The existence of a separate article on this subject (that is hyperlinked to the fluoxetine and SSRI articles) incorrectly leaves readers with the impression that it is both real and commonplace.

Hi Mini
  • I have no COIs to report.
  • I discussed this article with and sought feedback from one of the Wikipedia Medicine Project Admins prior to proposing this article for deletion. In fact, the suggestion that I consider submitting this article for deletion came out of that conversation.
  • As such, I respectfully request the benefits of WP:GF, which I believe the rules of this forum entitle me to in any case.
Can you offer some examples of what you feel are the highest quality sources referenced in the article? Its difficult to respond to a broad statement like "I disagree that the sources don't meet WP:MEDRS". The vast majority are primary references, case reports, or references to in vitro and animal studies. Which do you feel are strong enough to support a conclusion that this syndrome is widely accepted as a real clinical entity within the medical community, and that it is either severe enough or common enough to merit its own article rather than being swept into the main SSRI article?
Getting specific will allow us to better identify points of agreement and disagreement. Thanks Formerly 98 (talk) 07:42, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your declaration that you have no conflict of interest with this subject, since you had previously done considerable anonymous editing and many IPs do so for professional reasons. WP:MEDRS is an ideal, and this article has a number of references to peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Sex Research, Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology and Journal of Sexual Medicine; the fact that most studies to date have been on rats is (IMO) irrelevant to the subject's notability. I'm curious as to why you chose to nominate this article, in particular, for deletion. All the best, Miniapolis 15:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mini
Thanks for your response.
I picked this article to submit for deletion for the reasons I mentioned in the initial nomination: It lacks references that would support the conclusion that the existence of this syndrome is an accepted part of mainstream medical thought, and there are only about a dozen published case reports from among the >100 million people who have taken these drugs over the last 20-30 years. As such, it seems questionable to me whether it is undue wt to include a discussion of this proposed syndrome in the SSRI article, let alone give it its own freestanding article. To quote the relevant parts of MEDRS:
"Whenever writing about medical claims not supported by mainstream research, it is vital that third-party, independent sources be used. Sources written and reviewed by the advocates of such marginal ideas can be used to describe personal opinions, but extreme care should be taken when using such sources lest the more controversial aspects of their opinions be taken at face value or, worse, asserted as fact. If the independent sources discussing a medical subject are of low quality, then it is likely that the subject itself is not notable enough to have its own article or relevant enough to be mentioned in other articles." - All but 3 or 4 individual patient case reports describing this phenomenon and the only review of clinical data supporting its existence have come from a single group of collaborators at the University of Iowa (Csoka AB, Bahrick AS)
"Case reports, whether in the popular press or a peer reviewed medical journal, are a form of anecdote and generally fall below the minimum requirements of reliable medical sources."
"Other indications that a journal article may not reliable is its publication in a journal that is not indexed in the bibliographic database MEDLINE"
I would agree with your assertion that MEDRS is an ideal and not a bright line. But the sources quoted in this article all seem to me to be well out of the grey zone, with the overwhelming majority falling within classes that the MEDRS guideline specifically calls out as unreliable. However, its quite possible that I missed something. Let's focus on the sources cited by the article that you feel best meet MEDRS guidelines. That would seem to be the most succinct way to address this issue. Formerly 98 (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"I have no COIs to report" is not quite the same as "I have no COI". While I'm trying my best to AGF, I can't help wondering if you may have a connection to an SSRI manufacturer (BTW, I found a link to this article—and its AfD discussion—while reading its parent article and have no dog in this fight). I'm going to let this discussion run its course. All the best, Miniapolis 21:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
HI Mini,
I appreciate your concerns and your efforts to be civil in spite of them. Would it be helpful if I pointed out that virtually all of the SSRIs are now off-patent, manufactured as commodity products by generics companies, and sold for pennies a pill? In 2012, the only commerically important antidepressants from Pharma's point of view were lexapro and cymbalta, both of which lost patent protection in December 2012. http://beta.fool.com/ereports/2013/07/18/the-us-antidepressant-market-old-fashion-branding/38408/
Under the circumstances, I'm not quite sure how anyone would have a financial COI with respect to SSRIs. It would be like having a COI with respect to aspirin, penicillin, or for that matter, cement. Best Formerly 98 (talk) 23:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon me for butting in on this, however I would really appreciate it if this article could just be improved in some way to address concerns, rather than being deleted. One of the main objections to this article seems to be lack of case studies, and lack of people officially listed as having the condition. Did you ever consider that this attitude is nearly universal? Sexual sides are greatly under reported too. I remember seeing a study about that. Everything has to start somewhere, and without even having an entry on this website, psychiatrists will feel confident in their denialism. If we are truly being scientifically skeptical (let alone philosophically), we must acknowledge that this MAY exist, rather than dismiss it out of hand. This is a falsifiable claim, so I think dismissal on the grounds that we don't know enough isn't valid. I can tell you I have talked to more than 200 people who claim to have PSSD, and that is just the people who chose to sign up on my forum. Of those people, I am nearly certain that at least half have it, but more likely 2/3. The rest I think just have depression and/or anxiety. There are hundreds more on a yahoo group. Speaking just for myself, I can tell you that bupropion 300mg per day relieves my mild depression, and does little for PSSD. I can however get an hour of 90 to 100% relief with 60mg of buspirpone on an empty stomach, albeit at the cost of severe lightheadedness. It works EVERY time. What I want however, is research that leads to a drug acting on the 5HT1A receptor with less sides and better bio-availability. It would be much like cialis is for a man with ED. DIY medical research has serious limitations, but it's all there will ever be if we continue having to fight denialism. Let me go with this approach too. Is it controversial to state that an SSRI desensitizes the 5HT1A receptor? Would it therefore be physiologically impossible for it to remain so (I'm pretty sure this was even proven in rats)? Isn't it well known that this ultimately inhibits dopamine release, and that dopamine has a lot to do with experiencing sexuality? Would it therefore be unreasonable to request this article not be deleted, but instead simply add language stating the concerns of there being very little documented evidence such as case studies, and most existing evidence is self-reported by people whose claims are routinely dismissed out of hand? Or whatever similar language you deem proper. Thank you for hearing me out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.94.105 (talk) 05:03, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 76, how would you feel about merging this into a section in the parent SSRI article? Realizing this issue is close to your heart, and setting aside my own skepticism for a moment, I think we probably agree that the number of people who believe they are affected by this is a very small fraction of the hundred million or so people who have taken SSRIs. I'm open to acknowledging that it is possible that this is a real effect of SSRIs but usually stuff doesn't go into Wikipedia until its established as mainstream medical thought. Also, if we create a separate article for each side effect of every drug, no matter how rare that side effect is, things are going to get crowded around here. Formerly 98 (talk) 05:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Separate is probably better, but merging could be alright if it is given enough space and subsections. At the risk of being pedantic, I would say there is no reason to set aside skepticism, but merely to give consideration to a yet undetermined possibility which you consider to be less likely. I do understand there are reasons to think it's all nonsense. I would agree it is a small fraction. I'm virtually certain it's less than .1%, but more than .01%. While this is far from reaching the critical mass for a paradigm shift, it's not totally fringe or physiologically impossible. Although I admit most PSSD people believe in the most obviously ridiculous things and tend towards a Luddite-like attitude in regard to medical science, and are notorious for belief in the naturalistic fallacy. If this was a single side effect, I certainly wouldn't consider it worthy of more than a casual mention. However, it is the persistence of several side effects. Usually in PSSD, a few side effects persist after discontinuing, frequently to a lesser degree. I have heard of people who have the same severity, but usually it just gets partially better rather than returning to how it was prior to use. I would be inclined to disbelieve people who had no side effects while on it, but then got them when coming off (excluding the separate discontinuation syndrome). I think acknowledging that it is currently outside the mainstream, while at the same time acknowledging its existence, what we know about it, and leading hypotheses, as well as links to related topics which are mainstream such as the neurology on which the hypotheses are based, would be the right idea. My only concern on merging would be the bias that might exist in the mind of a person passionate enough about SSRIs to maintain its article, although admittedly the criticism section is fair. The final issue is that discontinuation has its own article, but those issues go away in time, and not all SSRIs cause that. Or perhaps knowledge of the subject is the sole criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.94.105 (talk) 16:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thanks, given your strong interest in this subject your note is remarkable for its restraint and willingness to see the other side of the issue. There are a lot of rules here about the level of evidence required to support medical claims, but I'd be the first to say that the stringency with which they are enforced is inconsistent.
I'm pretty conservative about these issues of evidence and mainstream acceptance myself, and don't see Wikipedia as a tool for enlightening the medical community about non-mainstream theories. That being said, I would not be adamantly opposed to taking the article as it stands, removing most of the references to in vitro and animal data, and merging it with the SSRI article. I'd also be open to the idea of creating a "Sexual side effects of SSRIs" article and having this material incorporated there as no more that 25% of the total text. But I don't want to be the one who writes it.
I proposed this article for deletion, but do not have final decision making power over what happens next, the admins decide that. Right now it looks like there is a consensus for "merge the better parts of this article into the SSRI article". I'm fine with that.
To be honest, if your goal is to increase the credibility of this as a real syndrome, I don't think a Wikipedia article is an effective tool. You have an interesting asset in the form of your Yahoo user group that I would think could be used for some interesting research, especially if you could get someone who studies human sexuality involved who is not one of the current proponents of the concept. I'd be happy to share a few thoughts on this if you want to email me through my user page. Formerly 98 (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

However, none of this is not notable coverage about the company in itself. I do think the quality of the site should be irrelevant, as should its deterioration relative to competitors (e.g., it preceded Google News, which blows it away); if it was notable in 2000, I'd consider it still historically notable.

Update: Forbes listed it as one of its four "best of the web" international news sites in 2000.

I'd also estimate that citations referencing articles on wn.com appear in several dozen books, and 100 academic journal articles and other papers (search scholar.google.com for "article.wn.com" and look at about 300 links to manually filter out the non-academic PDFs etc.), and while the citations in all likelihood should have referenced the original sources, the fact that so many independent, reputable sources do in fact reference wn.com, though admittedly incidentally, distinguishes this from most aggregation sites. ––Agyle (talk) 05:32, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A reader gains no meaningful understanding of the subject from such an article--it would just be a list of assertions of (borderline) notability. Enough to keep it from being deleted, maybe, but of no benefit to the reader. wctaiwan (talk) 14:50, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to argue usefulness is sufficient, but since you're suggesting it's not useful, I do find even brief stub articles like that useful when ascertaining the reliability of sources. Wn.com turns up in hundreds of bibliographies, and other WNN sites (cities.com, filmnews.com, dubai.com, etc.) combined probably turn up even more than that. Learning those citations were to a news aggregator rather than an original news source could be all I'd want to know. Similar to relatively un-notable book publishers...even pay-to-print vanity press publications get mentioned in more reliable sources, and knowing it's pay-to-print is usually all I want to know about such companies. ––Agyle (talk) 21:43, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree with Agyle's argument about including articles very generously on publishers, news sources, and the like." It's useful" in the context of the world in general is not a reason to keep; but it's useful in the context of reading WP is certainly a reason to keep in WP.

This does not establish notability independent of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Notability. There is no third-party coverage.

Non-notable school clubs organisation. No coverage in independent reliable sources. It also appears to be a WP:PARAPHRASE unacceptable close paraphrase of the organisation's own website. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability :
First of all the the Inaguration of the Club was covered in Dinamani Siruvarmani, a reputed and leading Tamil daily in Tamil Nadu. The Inaguration of Wikipedia Club was also covered in Tamizh Computer a leading Tamil Weekly in Tamil Nadu. The digital presence of newspapers and magazines, even leading newspapers, is not available in this part of the world. If needed i will scan the pages and upload them here.
All the individual Clubs were inagurated by Scientists of ISRO, Principals of other schools and proffessors of leading autonomus Colleges in the district. The inaguration photograph shows every body and the page lists of all the poeople in detail.
The Wikipedia Club, which is one among the clus is inagurated by an administrator from Tamil Wikipedia, Theni. M. Subramani. The Oath-taking ceremony is presided by Dr. P. Nakkeeran, Director of Tamil Virtual Academy, Chennai. This event too is covered by leading Tamil newspapers.
A Group of Delegates from Wikipedia and Wikipedia India Chapter visited our school before the inaguration of the Clubs and discussed about the possible co-operation Wikipedia may able to do. Students from 4 different Clubs conducted a Photo-tour this Jan 4th around Kanyakumari district, to use the photographs as supporting materials in the mission of improving three Wikipedia articles Kanyakumari, Kanyakumari district and Nagercoil atleast as Good articles before this June.
The district administration (District Collector) of Kanyakumari district was contacted by officials from Wikimedia India Chapter and was requested to offer all possible assistance to the edu-clubs; and following up, the district administration helped us in all possible ways providing text materials, documents, old photo-graphs etc... An ad-hoc is to be created this feb 2014 including students from all clubs to speed up the editing process of the wiki articles.
Also, this Excel Group of Schools includes 3 Schools , Excel Global School, Excel Central School & Excel Higher Secondary School which are all leading schools in this district. The total student strength is 2500+ from all around the state of Tamil Nadu. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 06:36, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also added a reference from a leading Tamil daily which reports the Inauguration. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 07:29, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also removed several lesser level details which may not suit to the wikipedia statndards. - Vaikunda Raja (talk) 09:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Our notability criteria has nothing to do with involvement of Wikipedia admins, involvement with scientits, or any of the other things you mention here with the exception of newspaper coverage. That said, I don't see enough non-trivial (i.e., "this happened, the end") third-party reliable source coverage to meet notability guidelines. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ahh I see now. Well, as it mentions neither the author nor the book by name...and even if it did it would only have been a passing mention...it is insufficient in determining notability. Tarc (talk) 14:14, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not-notable bio, prod declined in AGF by User:DGG. Having looked at the more detailed pl wiki I stand by this: local coverage at best, nothing else. Pl wiki article is being AFD too (pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/biografie/2014:01:11:Władysław Kisieliczyn) and the discussion there indicates it was successfully AFD before and recreated by author (subject/otherwise COI seems an issue, too).

  • Comment: The BBC ref is less than a hundred words and certainly falls within the routine sports coverage explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE (as do the other two references you proffered), even if it discussed the subject in the "significant detail" the GNG requires, which it does not. As far as playing for the Nijmegen Devils go, the Eredivisie is ranked in the third tier of professional leagues, and players must satisfy Criterion #4 of NHOCKEY, which is to win "preeminent honors" -- specifically, being in the top ten all-time leading scorers or winning First Team All-Star accolades. Boucher did neither. Ravenswing 15:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The BBC have longer articles on Boucher, profiling Boucher, as well [11] (which is about hockey, despite it being in the rugby section for some reason). Articles that profile a player go beyond what can be described as routine. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That one? Really can't. The section of that match report referring to the subject? "The Canadian was named man of the match as he registered 33 saves during his first shut-out of the season in Saturday's 3-0 win over Edinburgh. Cloutier told BBC Radio Humberside: "He's been one of our best players this season if not the best. "If you put him in a Sheffield side or a Belfast team with the depth they have who knows how good he would be." Cloutier added: "He's held us in so many games and if you look at the stats then we've lost by one goal in 11 out of 19 losses and if it wasn't for Boucher it could have been worse." The 28-year-old's man-of-the-match performance helped his side end a four-game losing streak." That's just a bit over a hundred words, and that's not enough to hit the GNG's notion of "significant detail" even without the roadblocks of WP:ROUTINE and WP:GEOSCOPE.

The speedy deletion template was removed by supposedly a different editor than the creator. There are conflict of interest issues admitted to by the editors concerned and possibly sock puppet/meat puppet activity. As well, there has been some bad faith accusations on the article talk page about myself having an agenda for nominating the article for deletion and legal threats for merely edited the article and nominating it for deletion. The main issue with the article is that there is no apparent notability per WP:GNG. Only one reference has been provided and although it is in Afrikaans, it is apparent that the link does not actually mention the subject. If it can be pointed out where she is discussed, I'd happily take back this particular point. In the end, there is no real claim to notability other than supposedly being the youngest published poet in South African history. I don't believe that by itself establishes notability as children and teens publishing poetry or any other writing is not that uncommon. The article then discusses what she is planning on doing, pursuing a career in screenwriting an completing a course in screenplay writing, which is commendable but hardly uncommon in Toronto. Editing issues (removal of templates, bad faith accusations, sock or meat puppetry, ownership claims on the article) aside, this does not appear to pass WP:GNG and does not have the reliable sources necessary to establish notability. freshacconci talk to me 03:23, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The following was just posted to the article (and was reverted as inappropriate), likely by the author, so I'm posting it here. I have no opinion on the merits of this discussion, but for completeness, I'm posting the comment. I do, however, note that the article was quickly nominated for deletion within a day of its creation. Anyway, here is the comment from the article: "Please note that this article is incomplete. There are multiple references, interviews etc. for this author whose work has been in the South African literature curriculum at grade school as well as university level for more than 30 years - these references will be entered as speedily as possible. Compiling this author's Wiki has been made more complicated by the fact that she has lived in Canada for more than 25 years and most of the references to her early work, interviews, articles on her etc. occurred in a foreign country and foreign language (Afrikaans). In the course of my research I have had to enlist the help of all who could assist me with missing information including the author herself - to the best of my knowledge doing this for a research project does not violate the Wiki rules in any way shape or form. I will remove this notice once my work is complete and I request that I be given a chance to complete it. Other editors will be assisting me so please do not block this project or delete anything until the entire body of work is accurately represented and please do not make judgements on a literary history if you have no expertise on the subject and do not even read the language! I request that I not be subjected to any more obstructive deletion notices - I will remove this notice once my work is completed. - PD"

This is, unfortunately, nothing more than a directory. Besides the naming problem (this isn't an article about movie theaters in the Netherlands, it's nothing more than a list), the overwhelming majority of entries are simply not notable and not likely to ever be notable. As a result, unlinked entries are given their URLs, and that's directory material. A better example of how to manage this kind of material, or whatever material in here merits managing, is New York movie theaters. Drmies (talk) 17:20, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Your example of what you think is better is a weird redirect from the main namespace to a category. Categories are fine as an additional tool, but an article or list is more flexible in providing information. There are even separate articles on some of the movie theaters in the Netherlands. This page Movie theaters in the Netherlands is the central place for information about movie theaters in the Netherlands, providing an overview, and context for those separate articles. - Patrick (talk) 23:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, the external links could be replaced by references. - Patrick (talk) 23:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there is hardly any material at all "providing information", nor are there more than a couple separate articles. The overview is that offered by the Yellow Pages also. Something that lists how many screens a place has and what their homepage is is not an encyclopedic article--it's a directory. Sorry. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being unreferenced is not itself grounds for deletion. Notability is, but a search for 'bag charm' or 'handbag charm" generates a lot of results. Silly though it may be, this is a real thing, and there is enough coverage to pass the nobility requirement.[21][22][23] TheBlueCanoe 00:58, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It's certainly a thing, and a very popular thing at that. A close connection to Keychain here, but something distinct. I saw several hits for craft books in Google Books telling readers "how to craft bag charms"/handbag charms, a 2007 publication commenting "surely no one can have failed to notice the trend for handbag charms." for example. This Feb 2005 article from ELLEGirl very briefly describes the trend and how it started, and its longevity means it goes beyond a simple flash-in-the-pan trend.

I guess that article should be deleted according to the Wikipedia policies. Unfortunately the artist is successful but not in Wikipedia terms. Because I talked with the artist and he also told me that there is a misunderstanding of the D&AD award. So as the page creator I agree with the non-notability argument.

This does not establish notability independent of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Thanks, but they don't look very mainstream/reliable or good for much. The company exists, yes, but I still am not seeing how it passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations). Would you mind explaining this to me? Quote the applicable policy, and point me to the parts of the article that satisfy it - would you be so kind? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The sources that I cited are third party sources that contain coverage of the article subject that is not trivial within the meaning of the notability guideline you cite. "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources....The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple[1] independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability....Acceptable sources under this criterion include all types of reliable sources except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as:sources that simply report meeting times, shopping hours or event schedules, the publications of telephone numbers, addresses, and directions in business directories, inclusion in lists of similar organizations,[2] the season schedule or final score from sporting events, routine communiqués announcing such matters as the hiring or departure of personnel, brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business, simple statements that a product line is being sold, changed, or discontinued, routine notices of facility openings or closings (e.g., closure for a holiday or the end of the regular season), routine notices of the opening or closing of local branches, franchises, or shops, routine restaurant reviews, quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization." I don't believe that any of the sources I cited suffer from any of those triviality problems. Would you mind explaining to me why you think that the sources I cited are not WP:RS? Quote the applicable policy, and point me to the parts of the sources that render them unreliable – would you be so kind? AgnosticAphid talk 04:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC) Further, as I noted below, there is no requirement that these sources be cited in the article for the article to survive deletion (see WP:NRV). AgnosticAphid talk 04:24, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the cited sources are minor gaming and/or marketing sites whose coverage is not mainstream and mostly trivial. moddb is more serious, but the entry there is still rather tiny and of less than perfect reliablity (who added it there?). If you want to argue otherwise, please explain to me in detail what makes the said websites non-trivial. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:24, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if properly cited per WP:BURDEN. If no one is willing to do the cites, then change to Delete. Will meet WP:GNG if cited. VMS Mosaic (talk) 08:54, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Per WP:NRV, "Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation." AgnosticAphid talk 22:34, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Article has been marked as needing citation for 11 months. I believe that is enough time to give an article to meet WP:V. Failing WP:V for nearly a year is reason enough to remove all uncited material which would leave the article with one short sentence. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:34, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These two sources about his Mirage Magazine work are secondary: http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/publication-mirage-1 "The best part of this magazine as well as the truly, truly fantastic graphic design, is that whilst it is predominantly filled with photos of half naked women, there is an air of respect present that is so rare in magazines of this ilk.".

Non-notable website that has not been the subject of sustained coverage in independent sources. Tons of press releases and routine directory coverage cited. Best source is a article about something else in the WSJ that mentions PeekYou in passing halfway down the article. That's not enough for Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced, unable to locate reliable sources to support notability in accordance with the general notability guidelines. At this point, I can only find mirror sites. Hoping for more input and possible research to find Turkish sources. Lacking notability, this should be deleted. Cindy(talk) 15:04, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article that does not make a claim of notability strong enough to get past WP:NMUSIC, and which relies almost entirely on unreliable and/or primary sources. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 05:43, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
