Potential keep -- He went up to high turnover quickly. There is some non-encyclopaedic content. The material on Lance Armstrong wreaks of WP:COATHANGER, but there is enough of value to allow it to be kept. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep though I mean that with some reluctance, as I don't consider references with authors like "QMI Agency" to be exactly legitimate and newspapers like the Bournemouth Echo to be more than extremely local in distribution. But he has gotten the attention of writers (writers with real first and last names) for the Daily Mail, attention which has then gone on to be repeated in New Zealand, and to me that smacks of notability, even if that notability is as to his poor decision-making as a businessman. Article should probably be reduced to little more than a stub, however, and I don't see much future interest in the subject. Also: I think its "reeks", not "wreaks", and WP:COATHANGER appears not to exist, though maybe you mean WP:COATRACK?. KDS4444^Talk 09:36, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or at most redirect to Yaroslav Senyshyn. I have access to several subscription archives and the coverage is zero. Ditto Google Newspaper archive. Ditto Google Books. All that can be reliably sourced is that he is a Trappist monk who has had two pieces recorded and performed by Senyshyn. And that is from a very brief mention in an interview with Senyshyn himself. [1]. There simply is not enough for a stand alone article. This is one of a suite of articles by a single-purpose editor, all related to promoting MODAL Research (a project at Simon Fraser University) and its members. See also Deanna C. C. Peluso. They are all referenced to primary sources and of the group, probably only Yaroslav Senyshyn] is worth cleaning up and keeping as marginally notable.

Delete -- the article has two citations: the first fails verification; the second cites the Wikipedia article in which the same editor has inserted the same piece of WP:CRYSTAL, this time without citation. Actually, the Albany Records recording can now be cited to this.

promotional sounding language, not clear how this might meet WP:CORP. Reads like an ad for this company. RadioFan (talk) 03:47, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page creator here. The BROODWORK page was created as part of the Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon held recently at various locations nationwide, which was intended to bolster Wikipedia's spotty coverage of women in contemporary art, or issues particular or specific to women. BROODWORK is not a company, but an umbrella organization that organizes exhibitions and activities that promote dialogue in the arts about issues related to parenthood. My argument for notability would be BROODWORK's multiple exhibitions at high profile arts institutions, the specificity of BROODWORK's mission, and the notability of various participating artists. The language of the page was designed to be as neutral as possible. Does it require some cleanup? 2602:304:37A8:8F09:3CD7:370D:76D0:CE (talk) 15:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." This is a notable organization with links to source articles and people involved. There is no cause for deletion or merging this article.

Stand-alone list article with no sources to either justify any item's inclusion or the notability of the subject itself, defined as "alternative media espousing the views of the American political left."

Keep I'm not really sure what motivates this deletion request. The articles' inclusion criteria would appear to be that the wikilinked wikipedia articles contain descriptions of "left" or "progressive" etc biased media - each notable in their own right or they wouldn't have an article here ;-). The articles reason to exist is no doubt to complement the Alternative media (U.S. political right) article. Yes it could do with a lot of work to change it from a list, to a full article, but that's hardly a reason to delete it, it's a reason to improve it. Eight related articles appear to link to it, so it appears some people think it's useful. Perhaps we should try spamming it with improvement templates before going for the jugular and deleting it!--Tony Wills (talk) 13:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The presence of "left" or "progressive," assuming it's referring to the outlet as a whole rather than a certain part of it, only qualifies it to be in a list of progressive media, not this one. The notability of the individual entries isn't the point, it's whether they belong here, which requires sourcing -- and even then, the subject of the article and inclusion criteria are ill-defined (see other comments below). Yes I'm sure the conservative article is the reason this exists, but again, isn't actually justification. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:03, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator is unaware that nominations need to prove that the articles cannot be sourced, rather than simply are not sourced. The nominator is unaware that lists are OK. The nominator cites TNT but does not know what it means. The corresponding "right" article is actually a better reason for TNT than this one, in that it is a coatrack, half of its content being the ripping yarn of the contention of liberal bias. Ok, I never said it was a good reason for TNT, just that it is a better one... Anarchangel (talk) 12:49, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is not that there aren't sources about "liberal media" that also refers to them as "alternative;" the problem (one of them) is the subject isn't even defined to the extent that any inclusion criteria exists! What qualifies something as "alternative media?" Self-identification? Right-wing news calls all non-right-wing news liberal, so in that way any small centrist organization should be included here, too. It's nonsense. Lack of inclusion criteria is also how something like MSNBC can exist here. If the inclusion criteria is that reliable sources have written about it as both being liberal and "alternative," then each needs a source for inclusion under those terms or is otherwise original research. There is no "lists are OK" policy. Lists ARE ok....as long as they meet the standards of the various policies/guidelines. How do I not know what TNT means? It means, in this case, that a good article could possibly be written on the subject, but what's there now is to ungodly terrible that it needs to be deleted in order to start over. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:03, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mersey Model Co. Ltd.[edit]

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

No news or book coverage I can find - the former not that shocking given the age of the company and how long it's been out of business. There is quite a lot of coverage in steam model fansites, but a lot of them appear to be personal sites and I (cautiously) suggest that they aren't particularly reliable.

I don't think this has any particular reflection on the importance of the subject, or the effort of the author - it's just a really hard area to source - but sourcing is what's required. Ironholds (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mersey Models were a short lived but influential company. They made a wide range (considering the short life) of products which are generally considered to be high quality. The products are now highly sought after by collectors. Unfortunately, there is very little in the way of documentation for the short history of the company. As noted above, most of the documentation, especially relating to the products themselves, is in the form of private web sites which, I agree, aren't neccessarily reliable in a formal sense. --Roly (talk) 20:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I've added a single reference for which the GoogleBooks preview is unavailable but the search results including the following paragraph: "Mersey Model Company Ltd Trading from Cooper's Building, Church Street, Liverpool and their workshop in Wallasey in the 1930s, they sold a variety of model workshop tools, steam engines, and toy and model boats. They did not survive the...". I'm inclined to think that if the company is provided coverage in a 2011 book on steam model making of the era, it would likely have received coverage in its own day. Few newspapers of the 1930s and 40s exist today but the company seems to have made a significant impact on the history of its industry then and since and notability isn't temporary. I, too, would like to see more references and there are a few other mentions listed in GoogleBooks search results (for books also without previews) suggesting there is more coverage out there. Be nice to see this one rescued. Stalwart111 00:16, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the sourcing! I can see the full page (ah, the wonders of international copyright status) and it indeed discusses MMCL in that paragraph - a good source. I agree with you, personally, that there was probably historical coverage, but while notability is not temporary, it also has to be shown. --Ironholds (talk) 00:42, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For sure, which is why I qualified my opinion. I think there's something to be said for a company that traded for only 5 years which made products significant enough that the company is talked about in a book 70 years later. Hard to think a company like that wouldn't have received more coverage back in the day (or any day since). But yes, we need to see sources for such a claim to be verified. I'll keep working on it. Stalwart111 00:48, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I so love steam and this looks brilliant, but the one ref isn't enough, and I can't see how a company in existence for just 5 years can be notable. It's a case of they existed...and I'd love to play with one of these! Szzuk (talk) 16:20, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If an article that is worth having fails the notability criteria then the notability guidelines have turned out to be inappropriate in the particular case. They are fallible guidelines and not rules. However, the information we report should be verifiable and should not be merely nostalgic reminiscence.

List of burn centers in the United States[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

This is a largely uncited list (and any cites that do exist are and probably would continue to be primary sources). Most of the list entries are redlinked - those that are not redlinked are not, in the sample I checked, standalone articles, but sections or even just sentences about the burn centre in an article on the hospital.

It is also a randomly selected thing: burn centres are pretty common, a lot of large hospitals have them.

I think this list fails WP:NOT as it's an indiscriminate collection of information which is not sourced from reliable sources. Guy (Help!) 18:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. As was decision in previous 2013 AFD. Burn centers are NOT common; there is citation in article that the state of Mississippi was going to have none at all after one would close. It is cited there are just 123 in the U.S., vs. thousands of hospitals. In a pretty big area that I know about, there is just one. You want to get airlifted to there, if you want to live, rather than being taken by ambulance to somewhere else. It is a finite, knowable list, with two main sources described in the lede as itemizing them. The fact of there being redlinks or links to sections in articles is not relevant; what matters is coverage of the fact of being a burn center and coverage of it being a limited list. I think there is not any valid deletion argument within the nomination. --do ncr am 03:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Why would we take time an effort for a page that had a AFD in 2013 and all ten votes were to "Keep"? Burn centers tend to be unique and this list can be an important resource to this encyclopedia. If the amount of red links are a cause for concern, then many list of hospitals pages would need to be deleted. Whoisjohngalt (talk) 19:54, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per doncram. Rather than being run of the mill common, burn-center hospitals are rare, and mentioned commonly and prominently in the news media, so significant coverage is readily available. Having a list here would be helpful for our users to research and navigate, compared to a category. Bearian (talk) 17:02, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - As the Chair of the Educate~ Editorial Board I would like a decision on this. Educate~ is indexed in the most relevant database for Education and since its creation in 2001 has been published by the Institute of Education, University of London. "The Institute of Education is a world-leading university specialising in education and the social sciences. Founded in 1902, the Institute currently has more than 7,000 students and 800 staff. In January 2014, the Institute was recognised by Ofsted for its 'Outstanding' initial teacher training across primary, secondary and further education. In the 2014 QS World University Rankings, the Institute was ranked number one for education worldwide. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise two-thirds of the publications that the IOE submitted were judged to be internationally significant and over a third were judged to be "world leading"." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.82.32.179 (talk) 10:28, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While it's great to have more open access journals, the editorial board appears to be all doc students from the institution and from what I can tell, the journal is not (yet?) widely cited. A Google Scholar search of the title and the ISBN shows two pages of citations, which while a start is not sufficient significant coverage by the GNG to my eyes. Moreover, I can't find any coverage about the journal itself, its history or influence or articles written about the journal itself. There isn't enough material to sustain an encyclopedic article and there is no desirable target for a cheap redirect. (?)

Col. Raj Singh, Raja of Kasli[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG. This seems to be a very minor "prince" of an equally minor Indian princely state. Per the article, he apparently didn't even become raja until 1992 - a legal impossibility because the final remnants of the princely titles etc were abolished in 1971. I'm not even sure that Kasli was such a state - it looks like it may have been a jagir, which would make the guy little more than a landowner with some historic, inactive rights to collect revenue on behalf of the higher-ups.

He might be notable for his military commands but I can't find any sources for those, either. Sitush (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the pretenders to various extinct thrones are generally considered notable (see the extensive hierarchy at Category:Pretenders). However, my understanding from what's above is that Kasli was not a sovereign entity but merely a subnational unit, like a barony or county in the West. Absent stronger independent sources to indicate notability, I don't think that he meets WP:BIO. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:11, 8 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Delete Nothing in the article is reliably sourced. Pictures of the subject standing in a former maharajah's hunting party towering over a dead tiger (from the days when dead tigers were a mark of pride for some) don't make the material either more notable or reliable. Yes, as user:Lankiveil states, there are no pretenders to Indian princely states. The states were only nominally sovereign, existing at the pleasure of their suzerain, the British Raj. As user:Sitush remarks, the princes irrevocably and legally lost their states (and reigns) in 1947 when the Raj ended and India became independent; in 1971, the titles, privileges, and remuneration awarded to the former princes were abolished by an amendment to the constitution of India. The page name itself, "Col. Raj Singh, Raja of Kasli" is inaccurate. I checked the Imperial Gazetteer of India and Kasli is not listed there as a princely state, indeed not listed as anything. I also did a search in all books published before 1947 (the year of India's independence) and Kasli, Rajputana, is not mentioned anywhere. That makes it very likely that the "Raja" was a zamindar or landlord, as Sitush suggests. The length and breadth of India was speckled with zamindars.

This person Sitush is acting in a biased manner. He appears to be of right wing ideology and is therefore maliciously deleting even legitimate information. Proof is that he removed the association of Subhash ware with the SM J oshi foundation even though a refernce shows clear association ( on frivolous ground that it does not say @honorary@ which he could have easily edited. How do we report him for bias?Smileamiledr (talk) 23:45, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

a fact based on a secondary source "Sangad,a secular and non political forum lists Subhash Ware's association with social organisations Rastra Seva Dal, S.M.Joshi Socialist Foundation and Maharastra Socialist Front in the context of rural development movements.[4]" was deleted by Sitush maliciously even though reference 4 directs to the websiteSmileamiledr (talk) 00:13, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? The article says "Subhash Ware is secretary of the S M Joshi Socialist Foundation" and that agrees with the source. Why you think I've removed it is beyond me, although I've no idea whether the S M Joshi Foundation is any more significant than my local cub scout group. Neither the article nor the source says "honorary" but all that words means is that he doesn't get paid for his duties in respect of that organisation. I think that you really need to get a grip on what is and is not notable in an article: the guy may be a member of a swimming club, for all I know, but that doesn't mean we mention it.

Accusing me of right-wing bias isn't going to get you anything other than possibly a warning for personal attacks, especially since I'm regularly accused of bias by competing interests across a massive range of articles. At various times, I've been accused of being left-wing, right-wing, anti-Muslim, anti-Hindu, pro-Pakistan, pro-India etc, all of which contradictory accusations tend to suggest that I am in fact neutral. - Sitush (talk) 10:12, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. More information and sources are easily found. Historically, Czechoslovakia had close trade relations with Libya. It was a major weapons supplier[3] and in 1978 the government apparently granted Qaddafi the Order of the White Lion. At the beginning of the Libyan revolution, they backed Qaddafi[4], but following his defeat the Czech Republic moved quickly to reestablish trade ties.[5]. Last year, the Czech Republic has been providing training to Libyan judges.[6]. More info can be found in Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic.

Self-published or trivial references. I can't find any material to support WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:28, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As well as the previous AfD discussion from 2006, there are publications such as an O'Reilly book on Dojo and accompanying coverage. Though there is little apparent press coverage of Dojo in the past 4 years, notability is not temporary and I would stay with the previous AfD decision. AllyD (talk) 12:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If there are secondary sources, they should be added to the article. If the AfD fails and no sources are present with a week of its closing, I will redirect it somewhere. It makes no sense to have article of this low quality for apparently non-notable subjects. As for "temporary notability", the last AfD was not closed as keep because it was found to be notable, rather it was found to be discussed by "the Web2.0 crowd" when discussing "Ajax/JavaScript toolkits". There was never a discussion about notability, which is now the standard for AfDs. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. 3 points:
- WP:Notability (software)#Nominating for deletion: "Before nominating an unsourced article for deletion, make sure to verify that it is non-notable, not just missing citations. One way to do this is to perform a Google books, Google news, or Google scholar search"
  - There are many books about Dojo, or where Dojo is mentioned or recommended. see here or here.
  - For now Dojo is still included in the Google Hosted Libraries, which hosts "most popular, open-source JavaScript libraries" according to Google.
- WP:NOTTEMPORARY: Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. (see also WP:Recentism)
  - Our previous AfD was in 2006. Dojo has actually been more notable since then. I think it reached its acme in 2008 or 2009. Despite it may (or may not?) be less used now comparing to 2008 and 2009, it may still have its little place in history.
- WP:MUST: "cleanup of articles in bad quality shouldn't be done through a deletion discussion but at the article's talk page." Also, WP:NRVE: "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."
  - So I don't think deletion or merger is good, if the notability is proved in our discussion and the AfD fails, but someone still think there's not enough sources added in this article. In that case, feel free to use ((Third-party)), ((Primary sources)) or ((Cleanup)), and let other editors do these things. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply three points:

Literacy is required. Nom states "I can't find any material to support WP:GNG or other notability guidelines"

Literacy is required. The previous nomination did not discuss notability. A point I made before and you didn't seem to read that either.

Cleaning is not required since there are no source to support notability and you didn't provide any. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:16, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By following WP:Notability (software)#Nominating for deletion and performing a Google books search, I found really a lot of materials to support Notability Guidelines, and I provided this link, this link and Google Hosted Libraries' link, they are just not added in the article, but they exist. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 22:31, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dojo Toolkit: "The name comes up often when...", "widely considered one of the top 3 or 4 Javascript toolkits", "relatively well known", "Dojo is notable and has recived backing from industry giants".. Well I don't think they did not talk about "notability". Please explain why you think otherwise. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 22:36, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And what I meant is, even if in 2006 it was not notable enough, it was in 2008 or 2009, and thus it should not be deleted. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 22:39, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I think Walter misunderstand "Notability". Notability among "the Web2.0 crowd", or Notability as a "Ajax/JavaScript toolkit", is still "Notability", which indicates its notability in JavaScript and web development history or something like that. You can't say notability in web development history is not notability. WP:Notability (software)#Inclusion: "Software is notable if it meets any one of these criteria: The software is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field..." --Tomchen1989 (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another important point to add: I thought there was no proof of notability in the article, I was wrong. In Dojo Toolkit#Further reading section, so many third party published books are provided there, making it perfectly meet WP:Notability (software)#Inclusion: "Software is notable if it meets any one of these criteria: The software is the subject of multiple printed third party manuals, instruction books..." I think the notability is pretty obvious and actually thought about voting "Speedy Keep", I don't get why Walter described it as "apparently non-notable subject". --Tomchen1989 (talk) 00:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948[edit]

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

I don't know if anyone has ever nominated a featured article for deletion, but this is quite simply not notable. The player is notable, and so is the tour/series, but not the player's role in the series. This is clear from the article itself: "Although the 1948 tour of England was an unprecedented triumph for the Australians, Ring's leg spin was not prominent in the success" and "Ring had limited opportunities with the bat". St Anselm (talk) 02:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As there were sufficient sources to develop this to FA status, the topic is clearly notable so there aren't grounds for deletion here. Vast amounts of material has been written on the famous 1948 "Invincibles" team, providing a solid foundation for specialised articles on this topic. Nick-D (talk) 02:13, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, the presence of sources does not imply notability. Yes, the team is clearly notable - but none the material seems to focus Doug Ring. The fact that this (somehow) passed FA is not a reason to keep it in itself. St Anselm (talk) 02:22, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please see also WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. St Anselm (talk) 02:55, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the sources consulted provided sufficient detail to get this article to FA status, that doesn't seem at all relevant: quite the opposite in fact. Nick-D (talk) 09:12, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, can you actually name a source that provides significant coverage? Or are you merely trusting the FA reviewers? St Anselm (talk) 09:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, largely per Nick-D. The nominator seems to have misinterpreted the WP:GNG, which says "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.". Ring's performance in the series has received this significant coverage in indepdenent and reliable sources, so he is notable per Wikipedia's standards. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 04:10, 16 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

No, that is precisely what I am taking issue with. Where is the significant coverage of Ring's performance? Can you name a source? St Anselm (talk) 04:22, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's the ones in the article, for starters. Have you looked at them all? I find it hard to believe that the article would have made it through FAC if all the references are bogus. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:35, 21 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, the references are bogus. And no, I don't know how it passed FA. The reference comes closest is Ring's obituary, which has a few paragraphs about how Ring would refer to himself as "the ground staff", how he misfielded a ball in the Fifth Test, and how he had fond memories of singing happy birthday to Bradman. That cannot possibly be regarded as significant coverage. St Anselm (talk) 10:07, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I note that Jack Pollard's From Bradman to Border (which might be expected to have something, but which I have not read), is listed in the References, but is not footnoted in the article. I have not been able to consult The A–Z of Australian cricketers. However, that is only footnoted twice - once to talk about another player, and once to simply provide statistics. The bulk of the footnotes are, of course, scorecards. These are reliable sources, but do not provide significant coverage. St Anselm (talk) 10:13, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep as this has not a snowballs chance. The nominator has clearly missed that, to at least the standard required a the featured article review, the subject is noted in reliable sources. If it is noted then it is notable. To claim otherwise is stretching the use of language beyond breaking point - Peripitus (Talk) 09:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's not what notability means at all. Notability means significant coverage. St Anselm (talk) 09:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note the 2009 group nomination for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Loxton with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948. Bencherlite ^Talk 23:50, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I can see arguments on both sides of this, but i think this was well thrashed out at the dicussion to which Bencherlite refers, and I don't think anything is gained for the encyclopedia by deleting this article and the raft of related ones. Really, what do we achieve by removing this material from the public space? It will just mean that, if someone out there has a great interest in Doug Ring, they will find it harder to learn about his career. Will that person ever be me? No thanks. Do I want to rule it for others? No thanks. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:32, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on - nobody talked about deleting the raft of related articles. Bradman, Harvey, Lindwall, Miller et al clearly had important roles in the 1948 tours; Doug Ring clearly did not. In fact, Ring was only mentioned once during that discussion referred to, and that was in User:PeeJay2K3's comment "I strongly doubt that Saggers, Ring et al. are actually that prominent". If someone wants to learn about Doug Ring, the correct place to go is the Doug Ring article. St Anselm (talk) 00:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It strikes me that a valid analogy could be made with actors appearing in films. Donald Bradman with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 would be like Brad Pitt in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Are there lots of sources discussing Pitt's performance? Yes. It is Pitt's most important work? Probably not. But Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 is in a different order together. That would be more like Jennifer Morrison in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. And even then, I'm sure we would find more reliable sources discussing Jennifer Morrison's role than we have discussing Ring's role. St Anselm (talk) 00:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Nick-D. Certainly seems to have been enough coverage to support the writing of the article to suggest that it was notable, not to mention that it is part of a series of articles about players of the highly notable 1948 side. Really don't see why anyone would bother trying to delete a good article that is sourced anyway... surely there are better things to do with ones time? Anotherclown (talk) 10:58, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But it's not sourced - that's the problem. Most of the footnotes are scorecards, and none of them seem to provide any significant coverage of the subject. Hence, it fails WP:GNG, and I'm not aware of any notability guideline under which it can be kept. St Anselm (talk) 11:20, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This article goes into way too much detail for an encyclopaedia, albeit immaculately researched and written. I can possibly see articles like this existing for other members of the team who played a significantly more prominent role (and even then it's sketchy), but Ring was barely involved in the Test series. – Pee Jay 11:30, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or perhaps merge the "role" section somewhere, and redirect to wherever that is). I've always seen this series of articles as being a failure to condense the subject into an encyclopedia article (or articles). Books focusing on a notable subject would generally be expected to cover the subject in detail, and just because information can be cited to books doesn't mean that it should be included in an encyclopedia article. An essential part of writing an encyclopedia article is selecting the portions of the information available that are important to understanding the topic. This article consists primarily of information such as the score or outcome at different points in different matches. Those are minute details that are not at all essential to understanding the main notable subject of the Australian cricket team in England in 1948. Except for the "role" section, this article is all material that encyclopedia editors should have selected to not include in Wikipedia. While I'm not sure if there is a policy or guideline that specifically addresses what I'm getting at, I think WP:IINFO comes closest, in that it states that articles should not primarily be a summary of what happened, but instead should focus on why those events are considered important. I do, however, think that the "role" section of this article is better content that could perhaps be salvaged by merging it to another article (perhaps by combining it with similar content from other articles on other members of the team). A summary of how each member of the team affected the overall outcome of the test matches seems more like appropriate content for an encyclopedic set of articles on the topic than the rest of what is included in these articles. Calathan (talk) 23:01, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and troutsmack the ever-increasingly problematic FA-groupies who are promoting articles that should not be promoted time and time and time again while the encyclopedia languishes. jps (talk) 23:10, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, lean merge. I find it difficult to really consider this article in isolation from the cohort it accompanies, as the arguments mostly seem to be based on whether this is too much detail for an encyclopedia, and this would seem to go to the point of whether these kinds of articles are appropriate as a whole. I tend to think that we are risking falling down the rabbit-hole into subpages and subpages until we have full books' worth of material on individual topics, which I think is a manifest failure of the purpose of an encyclopedia. At the same time, I know that if an FA along these lines was AfDed in one of the areas I edit, I probably wouldn't think twice before !voting to keep. I guess my ultimate conclusion is that a single article about the team's performance as a whole is probably within the boundaries, but that individual articles on every team member's performance in a single series is probably a bit much.

Comment: I commented on some of the FACs in this "series", and supported their promotion to FA. This was not one on which I had a say. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of this series of "1948" articles, although I admire the work that their creator did. It seemed, and seems, a little bit too much, and that is coming from someone who writes about little but cricket. However, I cannot see a huge problem with this article's existence. The main argument seems to be about the notability of Ring in the 1948 tour; this is not really a valid argument, based on the sources. In the print sources (and I admit to having read most of them, I'm afraid!) quoted, there is significant coverage of Ring's role. None of these focus exclusively on Ring, but cover all the players in the team extensively. Admittedly, there would not be a huge amount on Ring but I believe there would be enough to justify an article. The books used are very in-depth and as this was a huge tour in the history of cricket, the coverage was exhaustive to the point of tedium. It is possible to find out lots about what Ring did in most of the games in which he played. Whether or not an article is desirable on this, I don't think that we can say that it should not exist based on coverage in the sources. The use of scorecards should not detract from coverage in print. Sarastro1 (talk) 23:42, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment On that topic, it's worth noting that this article was developed before the National Library of Australia's wonderful Trove resource of digitalised newspapers became available. Searching for references to Doug Ring in 1948 returns 101 newspaper stories [7]. Articles with some useful coverage for this article include [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. Nick-D (talk) 00:39, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But "significant" means "more than routine coverage". The first item, for example, merely reports on his selection in the squad. If we went on that, there would be an article on every cricketer on every tour - e.g. Trent Copeland with the Australian cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2011. St Anselm (talk) 01:36, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seems sufficient to me. I've developed FAs on specialised military history topics which are unlikely to be much interest to a general readership and have only received a few pages of coverage in reliable sources. I imagine that cricket nerds would find this article as interesting as I find those articles to be, and the level of notability doesn't seem dissimilar. I note that this book which was also published after the article's FAC calls Doug Ring an "ideal selection" for the tour and seems to provide a reasonable degree of coverage of his part in the tour if the snippets available from searching Google Books are anything to go by. The extremely famous 1948 "Invincibles" team can't really be compared to the 2011 Sri Lanka touring team IMO given the large number of books, documentaries, etc which have been produced on the 1948 tour.

I don't see any grounds for notability here beyond his hereditary baronetcy which in itself is not sufficient grounds for notability.
