No evidence that 50 goals in a season is a really notable achievement, the numbers in the table and the sources appear to be different as well. Fails WP:LISTN, should be merged/redirected to some relevant football list. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:13, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with this,I dont think it is notable at all..because what makes 50 is a special number not 40 or 45 for an example ? and plus it seem lacks sources for sure . Adnan (talk) 23:09, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG, the number 50 appears to be an arbitrary one (as stated above), a google search of the article title brings up nothing relevent. Indeeed, it brings up numerous sites which highlights the arbitrariness(?) and trivial nature of the number 50 eg.'Top 50 world players in the world for 2013-14', 'Best soccer players of all time - top 10', 'Top ten goalscorers in a single year', 'The List: The 50 best African players in history'. It might be good for a trivia night but is not encyclopedic.Coolabahapple (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly rename List of association football players with the most goals in a season? That would answer the arbitrary 50 boundary. It should also be sorted by goals, not last name. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:53, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly, although that would need better definition, as the 2 sources seem to give different goalscoring tallies (I guess due to different counting criteria). Also, WP:NOTSTATS makes me think delete is maybe just better. I seem to remember some countries in Africa didn't used to count their goalscoring very officially, and so some players in those leagues actually got about 70-80 goals a season, but aren't on this list.

- Comment - the title of the article is inherently misleading, as the content states that only players in a country's highest-level league are considered/included. I bet even if we exclude lowly amateur/semi-pro leagues there are dozens more players who scored 50+ goals in lower-level professional leagues.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:14, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page fails on the following WP standards under Wikipedia:DEL
4. Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content
The article is serving primarily as an advertising platform for the church.
7. Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
Very few articles from reliable sources
8.Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline
Due to the lack of reliable sources or large-scale impact.
The page has had a notability notification since May 2012 and has since provided multiple instances of notability from many reliable sources since that time. As such. the article should be not be deleted. 5minutes (talk) 20:51, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: 5minutes commented: the only links are to its own site or advertising for the church. That is not correct. There are at least a dozen links included that are NOT in any way the church links or advertising or published due to the church (not that anything is wrong with including them as a solid reference, anyway). I hope that the recommended deletion is not a part of a greater conspiracy to eliminate references to successful black-owned businesses and multi-cultural community organizations. That would be very sad. The progression shown in this entry is very significant to the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.61.126.12 (talk) 18:32, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Response I am not sure what conspiracy you are referring to. There are significant problems with the article in question. The links on the page are to, in numerical order: NC Secretary of State referencing name change (not notable news source); broken link to News and Record article on remodeling (debatable as to establishing notability of article on a global basis); Youtube (nope); Pastor's CD Baby page (nope); ditto (nope); a broken link (nope); The church's website, next 4 links - (nope); Church Rater (not a notable news source); ad for party at church (nope), Youtube (again, nope); church's website (nope); Youtube (nope); an article on the history of Dunlap Springs (would be notable on an article on the mineral springs, but not the church); manual of the church that was formerly at the site (does not establish notability for this church); 2 articles that establish the existence of the former Bible college, but doesn't establish notability of this church (nope); and finally, an article about the closure of the cosmetology school that doesn't establish the notability of this church (nope). All in all, there is exactly maybe one article on this page - a broken link - that may actually establish notability for this congregation, and all it really does is announce that the church is remodeling. That does not establish notability and therefore, the article should be deleted. 5minutes (talk) 00:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The subject is not notable, based on the references supplied and my own searching. The article reads like an advertisement "Warm friendly people who are on a journey together to learn how to live the way God intended. … A cafe so you can get a beverage."

- How can you tell it was set up around 2012? And how could you know whether or not there were a previous page located on another website which may have been the previous source. Frequently pages like that are initially on a tribal or community website prior to the purchasing of a domain name, and then get moved. Wikipedia and that site might both copy an older source.

WP:BLP of a musician, making no claim of notability that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC, and resting entirely on unreliable sources. I note from the edit history that this is a significantly trimmed-back redaction of an original version that fell on the wrong side of the advertorial line, but even the more detailed version was unsourced and didn't claim anything that would satisfy NMUSIC.

Keep: That the Maryland State Archives believes it is notable enough to devote a web page to this heinous crime should be enough. Most activities in 1894 are not googleable, but one could easily argue that every documented lynching is notable. Is there such a thing as a non-notable lynching? Black lives matter. The Dissident Aggressor 19:27, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete: as the only contributor to this article. Upon further research, it appears that this man was not lynched, but rather legally executed by hanging. I've added a newspaper article that gives a detailed account of this execution and dispels the myth that his death was a lynching. The Dissident Aggressor 22:04, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I really hate to say this, but...from what I can tell, Mr Allen was just (!!!) another murder victim; like so many who died in the Holocaust, or during the Reign of Terror, or in the Killing Fields, or on 9/11, he does not automatically meet notability criteria solely because of the horrific and unjust circumstances under which he was killed. If we have a list of lynching victims, he can be included on that, but the meager information provided is really not enough to support an article. Regretful delete, unless more information can be provided. DS (talk) 19:39, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You mean his lynching wasn't popular enough? We're talking about a documented, racially motivated murder of a targeted individual. Quite an encyclopedia you are here to build. The Dissident Aggressor 19:42, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete (although I agree with DS that it's regretful...) - The page at the Maryland State Archives lists his death as a "possible lynching." It appears that they are basing that off a passing mention in this article about a different lynching, where it states that James Allen was "recently hanged for a similar offense." Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's all we have in the way of information about this event. The fact that James Allen doesn't meet notability standards is not a reflection of the importance of his death. Rather, our content needs to be verifiable and the subject's notability goes hand in hand with being able to write verifiable articles. We regretfully don't have enough information in the form of reliable sources to publish an article about Allen's death. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 21:32, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a tour and it happened, but the only reliable source saying anything about the tour as a tour is this--and what it verifies is minimal. Certainly it does not provide the kind of in-depth discussion required per GNG. Drmies (talk) 09:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Drmies: I don't understand your claim here. Why would Sports Nippon, a newspaper that has been around since the 1940s, not be a reliable source? Is it a sports tabloid? Model Press might cover celebrities and pop culture and seem cheesy, but there's no indication it's not a reliable source. They have video interviews with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, etc - why would their Japanese publicity representative have them sit down for interviews with a non-reliable magazine? And Excite faded away in English, but Japanese portal is massive [3]. So please help me understand why these are not reliable sources. —МандичкаYO 😜 20:35, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, perhaps the Sponichi article is acceptable--so we can verify a statement about a screen? We're looking for in-depth discussion of a tour, remember.

- Unsure Not all the sources are good, such as soompi those are garbage. And updates from the groups company site while factual are first source only. However kpopstarz and the koreanherald are reliable third sources and I can see articles from them talking about events that seem like they could provide notability for the tour. Like having the most fans attend their concerts for that year in Japan. But when reading the articles further the article becomes unclear, I would actually prefer to see multiple reports on the claim rather than just the one since it is written strangely. At the very least a cleanup is needed for the page but I ca't say at this time it does or doesn't have notability.Peachywink (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: The article seeks to document an event, correct? That event is the 2014-5 tour of Japan by the band "BigBang," correct? Look at the article title. We're fretting over preserving a confused article with very weak verification that is improperly lodged in the first place, so, if it were golden, it would need an immediate set of redirects (multiple) to be useful. This is in addition to the fact that it is attempting to make a case for notability of a single band's single tour of a single country, which is terribly promotional/memorabilia tinged. For the assemblage of these weaknesses and the lack of strengths, delete. Hithladaeus (talk) 11:44, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no policy instructing us to delete articles in response to Terms of Use violations, especially when no apparent effort has been made to educate the user on these requirements, or any warning provided. That being said, we do revert edits made by block-evading editors and a quick look at the circumstance seems to suggest it is almost certainly a sock.

- The article is about Gates, but Specifically ones with Aerobridges, Tijuana International Airport may have 23 gates, but only has 10 Aerobridges.
- Like most statistics on Wikipedia, this one refrains from being a complete list, and airports having 10 or less Aerobridges, in my opinion, are less significant to the individuals interested in this subject.
But if you feel that it is not, than by all means complete the list.

Here, the criterion is "gate," but then it's not. The case is made impossible. (And, incidentally, why a "clean" list of this sort would pass is also debatable.

This article arose (partly) from discussion on Talk:Bijeljina massacre, but the "new" content (ostensibly about the "fighting/resistance" in the town prior to the massacre) in this article is not reliably sourced. While I originally suggested that any reliably sourced content on the "fighting/resistance" be merged into Bijeljina massacre, it is clear there isn't any.

- TTTommy111: I did not imply that wikipedia is a third party source, I only said that the third party sources are limited, but they suffice. I also am assuming that "significant coverage" does not mean by quantity, but significance. I have provided three sources where Lex Kogan is central to the article, from reliable third-party sources, where they explain his significance. Ibogaine is significant, as you can read about in the article about ibogaine, and someone who is mentioned by an industry magazine as its foremost proponent and having been the first to establish clinics around the world, Lex Kogan is significant. There are three other articles that are centered around Lex Kogan in the article, also from third party sources. NittyG (talk) 16:14, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: The article itself states that the "pioneering" work is fringe. It hides peer-review and academic discussion behind a passive voice "was found," and then goes on to continue promoting a particular cure for addiction, PTSD, and symptomatic depression. Maybe medicine will validate all of this. When it does, there will need to be an article. Until then, Wikipedia is not a jury and cannot promote. Hithladaeus (talk) 17:36, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The notability of Lex Kogan is not in the medical efficacy of his clinics as independently verified by the modern/Western medical community. Ibogaine may be fringe, but is significant enough to warrant an article about ibogaine. As Lex Kogan is the first to widely proliferate clinics around the world where ibogaine is administered, as mentioned in the reliable, third party sources I provided, he is notable enough to warrant an article.

- I have thoroughly addressed Lex Kogan's notability. You have thus far failed to address what I have written in response. You will need to do that before a deletion is justified. NittyG (talk) 16:14, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @NittyG: what are, in your opinion, the two sources that best demonstrate the subject's notability (as described at WP:BASIC)? VQuakr (talk) 00:41, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unambiguously fails WP:GNG. I do not agree with a redirect either. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Woah, I apologize, I did not realize that there were two discussions going on about deletion. I have thoroughly addressed these concerns. I suppose I will move the discussion here. Please address these concerns before deleting.
- I understand that this article was started before. I can certainly understand why this article has issues. Problem is, Lex Kogan is certainly notable, but there is an incredibly small amount of third party literature out there about his work. Many people do notable work that is not documented by third parties.
- Notability: As I mentioned in the article: "Kogan and his partner, Eric Taub, were the first to develop ibogaine clinics which provide treatments..."
- One of the sources was Treatment Magazine, which is a reliable third-party industry publication. This is a crucial exerpt:
- "... Lex Kogan, arguably the leading proponent of Ibogaine treatment, along with his partner Eric Taub."
- This can all be inferred from the literature - Eric Taub was among the first to bring ibogaine into use in the Americas. And Lex Kogan formalized it with the expansion of clinics, which is the central focus of the article from Treatment Magazine. People are administering ibogaine in very haphazard ways, and people have even died while being treated; Lex Kogan has formalized the treatments professionally, with well-developed methods, protocols and routines, while also expanding it beyond any other person. Ibogaine is significant - think of any early medical pioneer in any field, and how significant that is - the notability of Lex Kogan is along these lines.
- Reliability: All articles are third party, and they are all reliable. A couple are interviews with people directly associated with Lex Kogan, but they are only to reference the claims they make about being attacked, and mundane details about how they administer treatments. I never added any of their websites, which of course give far more biographical information about Lex Kogan and the history of their centers.
- Neutrality: If you would like to know why I started this article - ibogaine is an important subject, and frankly, there is a ton of confusion and misinformation about ibogaine online, much of which is deliberate. Wikipedia is an excellent place for providing clear and reliable information free of bias. I have gained the knowledge of the importance of Eric Taub and Lex Kogan by gleaning information from peoples first hand experiences, which are not reliable third party references, so I have done my best to establish this on solid ground. I believe that what I have provided suffices. As for any issues about promoting their work, again, I have done my best to mention everything I could find in reliable third-party sources, including criticisms.

- I will also address the concerns each of you have individually above.NittyG (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree completely with your assessment. He simply is not notable, according to Wikipedia's guidelines.
- "but there is an incredibly small amount of third party literature out there about his work." --> exactly!.
- "Many people do notable work that is not documented by third parties" --> not according to how Wikipedia works. Please read the relevant guidelines, most importantly WP:GNG.
- The only way to address this is by providing extensive coverage in independent and reliable sources, which is clearly not available at this point in time. Not that it matters at this point, but the article is also very poorly written, and heavily promotional and full of unencyclopaedic language. Finally, understand that the first nomination's outcome was also delete, and no substantial changes have occured hence. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 02:55, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Insufficient coverage in reliable sources. A bunch of brief mentions, even to state that he is the leading propopenent of something or the first to do something, is not sufficient. Several of the sources in the article do not even mention the subject, and only one is even arguably significant coverage. Certainly not significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. (BTW, even if the article is kept, it seems to need some clean up as it appears at least somewhat promotional. For example, the statement that he and Taub are "employing staff that people claim were trained with knowledge and nuanced understanding they developed over several years, carefully administering ibogaine, along with medical staff that monitor patients" [emphasis added] contains a number of statements, such as those I bolded, that are not supported by the source, not to mention the weasel wording around "that people claim...")

My searches found nothing to suggest this is notable as a game player or outside being notable as a game player, with there only being primary sources (Wizards of the Coast). Granted, the article is neat and sourced but I'm not convinced with notability. SwisterTwister talk 00:42, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong delete: looks like a mere WP:HOAX to me. If you use the Ctrl+F thing across the sources, you'll find no mentions of him whatsoever. Refined Google searches returned nothing relevant. Information on his nationality and birth date are contradicting; infobox says one thing, paragraph says another. Victão Lopes Fala! 02:02, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep. Nothing to do with afd. (NAC)--Antigng (talk) 11:44, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Vandalism, As described earlier, TheRedball posted positive and Sitush removed the positive because he is from other team. Then Leoaugust posted negative and when I checked the reference link, there was nothing about this article but still a new member Bentogoa restored the content.
I think it is enough to prove Vandalism here because the article is already semi protected because of previous vandalism activities. I also submitted this link for speedy deletion but these guys from both team are restricting Aarvig (talk) 10:48, 12 June 2015 (UTC)to do so.[reply]
