- Kelly's publications don't seem to be what confers notability on him, according to th earticle. Millions of people are involved in lawsuits; by itself that doesn't confer notability either, and the lawsuit isn't mentioned in sources outside the local area, as far as I can tell.

Delete Notability within the university only--and considering what the notability is for, there are serious BLP problems with this article.

Delete - There is no coverage to establish notability. Note that the Ottawa Sun article is not about Marc Kelly. In fact, there is no mention of Marc Kelly at all. The link is a scan of the article with the name "Denis Raincourt" struck through and Marc Kelly added in its place. It may very well be the newspaper misidentified the individual in the caption. But even if it were printed that way by the paper, it is an incidnetal mention.

The result was Withdrawing by nom my main concern was that the request for reliable verifiable sources claiming notability were not met in the article after 2 years and at least one repeated recent request---and there was a ton of 'noise' surrounding google searches for Smosh. NurseryRhyme provided enough independent reliable sources, that were not referencing the same event even, to prove notability. ---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 20:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Smosh[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Somehow this page survived deletion 2 years ago when it was previously nominated. The article is about a non-notable group of 2 that have released 63 youtube videos. The article makes a minor assertion of notability, that they are "currently the third most subscribed of all of YouTube." When this was added who knows, it could be 2 years old, thus the "currently" is not helpful. It is also not referenced. Currently there is only one independent sources--everything else that currently exists is their own youtube videos or myspace. The one reference, in entirety, "Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, also known as Smosh, won for best comedy video." This does not represent, "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Winning a single non-notable award, does not convey notability, especially when the award is deemed as advertising gimmick for Youtube. Smosh fails to meet satisfy the criteria at WP:CREATIVE and is questionable about WP:entertainer---but without resources, this cannot be confirmed. I was going to leave a note on Smosh's talk page asking for sources/proof that this article deserved to be kept, but two weeks ago somebody else raised the Spectre of deletion. The claims to notability are weak and without reliable independent sources, this article should be deleted. ---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 17:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, well-known video artists who have had multiple notable references. See [1] (which says "Smosh is YouTube's most subscribed-to channel", surely proof of notability), [2], [3], [4], [5], and more. YouTube pays Smosh for their content.

Butt (surname)[edit]

After multiple citation templates and requests were ignored by the primary authors for a year, I removed all questionable material, leaving a list of people who have variations on the name, and little more. A two month old merge proposal went ignored by the primary authors, whose only interest is in preventing any chagnes to the page, but not improvements. Further, the split between European Butts and between Indian Butts was left unclear, and no effort was made to separate the Butts of one group from the Butts of a totally different group. Finally, by the primary authors' own writings, Butt as an Indian tribe and such was really the Bhat tribe, but they wre unwilling to work on that page for whatever reasons.

Comment. This is in no way a WP:DR situation.

Wikipedia has articles about the wackiest things as long as they are based on WP:RS and WP:CITE. Hence see Category:Pseudoscience, and if one doesn't like the article it can even go in Category:Pseudoscience articles needing expert attention but one doesn't run to zap something just because it sounds strange or distasteful.

Keep because this was a term that was evidently used in the Soviet Union as the sources show, albeit a nasty and despicable one at that. The fact that it does not have a place in an "English dictionary" does NOT delegitimize this Russian term. The application of WP:NEO is also mistaken here because that rule is applied to writers of articles on Wikipedia who create neologisms as articles but not to terms that were indeed made up and used in foreign countries. Sure, the Russian communists created and made up crazy words, and this one appears to be one of those.

Piroxicam cap. 20 mg[edit]

This article is about a particular oral capsule presentation of an anti-inflammatory medication. It may be that this particular capsule does not have notability independent of the chemical itself, namely Piroxicam. Also, the information here is taken from a prescribing manual, and is clearly presented in a manner suitable for a health care professional who is considering prescribing the medication, rather than in a manner that is suitable for a lay user of an encyclopedia.

Nabih Youssef[edit]

Article is a resume (albeit a poorly-written one) for the subject that appears to have been written by the subject; violates WP:NOT. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 13:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Although autobiographical articles are discouraged, Mr Youssef _does_ appear to pass WP:BIO as an award-winning engineer; the references seem to be genuine. Nothing that a bit of cleanup work won't remedy. Tevildo (talk) 13:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - undoubtedly he is notable. However, my own personal feeling is that conflict of interest is insurmountable and irreparably taints the text created with that conflict present. - Richard Cavell (talk) 14:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The current version of the article is neutral and if no one told me someone with a COI was involved I wouldn't have known. So this article is suitable for inclusion and not irreparably tainted. Besides, it would be silly to delete it because of COI only to recreate it when a user in good standing writes the same content. Who writes it shouldn't matter as long as the article is neutral and verifiably correct. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~undecided~~ keep - Article as currently written seems to serve more as an advertisement than an article on an encyclopedia-worthy company.

She subsequently took the fifth and was granted immunity from prosecution. She was discussed by at least one House committee, and her name appears widely through the news media of the day.

Keep these are suburbs of Dublin. Dublin metropolitan area has a population of 1.7 million. Thats enough for 34 streets. Given that it's the capital, it has an importance even more than ordinary for the size. Multiple by 2. Given importance in literature, and not just from Joyce, another 2. =128. The 50k figure is totally unofficial--I'd set it closer to 10k. Category Category:Streets in Dublin has 70 articles at present. Of course, there are a great many streets mentioned in Joyce's works.

Severely strong delete. A mention in a novel is not significant enough to have an article on an encyclopedia of this type. It can be mentioned in the novel or an article on locations in that novel. That should be enough really. No need for snow. It is simply a map of a small countryside road (relatively to Dublin city centre) in prose. --Balloholic (talk) 13:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- COMMONSENSE sees it go the ulysses locations article surely. I would think it should be deleted but I am open to the redirect if anyone else is. --Balloholic (talk) 17:22, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My common sense tells me that

the importance (or notability) of streets is likely to be much higher in cities of commercial, political, or literary importance, and that therefore a numerical rule for all makes little sense.
The historic downtown districts of long-established cities are likely to have a very high proportion of streets that will be notable
The importance of named streets used in literary works will depend both upon the importance of the work and the manner in which it makes use of the geography. To quote a standard reference work, "Joyce's Ulysses is probably the most conscientiously topographical novel ever written" (David Daiches & John Flower, Literary Landscpes of the British Isles NY: Paddington, 1979 ISBN 0448222051). DGG (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note. The above user has left an identical contradictory comment here, a so-called "downtown district" that is actually running along a beach. Please consult before leaving further comment. This user has potentially a COI and seems to want to keep every road in Dublin even ones outside the city centre. I sugest it be established how far this user is from Dublin although that will not be enough. Thank you. --Balloholic (talk) 21:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

which road are we discussing? Tritonville Rd is not along a beach. And, true, I admit I sometimes type a word when I have another article in a large batch in mind. I think its happened all of twice this month. But what potential COI I have I can not imagine. It's not as if I were a deletionist everywhere else except for Dublin. DGG (talk) 23:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would watch your wording. I am on Dublin currently. It may seem like I have a vendetta but that is because of the attention that all of you are attracting in pushing your point and discussing among each other on your separate user pages. I remind you that this is not a vote. You have to give a valid reason and simply cannot keep things because they are down the road from you. At least I am offering reasons that are genuine and am unbiased because I have no connection to Dublin. There has never been this much attention in any other place and it just shows how big and biased everyone is for Dublin. I take that as you admitting your error and will be strking out what is essentially a vote with no rationale. Thanks. --Balloholic (talk) 00:43, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David Patchen[edit]

Seems to be little more than an advertisement for a non-notable artist. There are also numerous links on the page solely advertising Mr. Patchen's artwork. ~~It also appears that the article is being maintained by Mr. Patchen in violation of WP:CONFLICT.~~ A Google search for "David Patchen" shows only 3,420 results, many of which are unrelated to this particular individual. Hence, I believe that article does not meet the requirements for notability. Chasingsol (talk) 13:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from nominator: I have spent the past couple of days second-guessing this AfD trying to find reliable third party sources per WP:V, WP:CREATIVE and the comments from editors below. I have still failed to do so. The only references provided do not appear to meet Wikipedia reliability standards, and the majority of those that have been provided, including those below, are offering the subjects artwork for sale. The article has been stagnant for almost a year, with no attempt to provide and cite reliable sources. --Chasingsol ^(talk) 14:33, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If Patchen himself has edited the article, there is only a COI if his edits are of a nature that conflict with the goals of Wikipedia (to produce a neutral sourced article). So I would leave that out of the argument entirely. I found a couple of articles that make a passing mention of him, but nothing extensive at all [8], [9]. I give this one a "delete" based on non-notability alone. LinguistAtLarge 14:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Its' beautiful work and a pleasing article, but notability is not established. ChildofMidnight (talk) 14:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Respectfully disagree here. Notability in the world of glass art should be clear by the presence in internationally-known gallery presence and participation in multiple shows in leading art markets. I would be happy to add additional external references to better establish notability but some references don't have urls such as teaching, demonstrations, lectures, especially in the Bay Area art scene (for example, my work was featured full size on the cover of the Arts section of the leading newspaper in Phoenix). I'm all for controlling the accuracy of the entry once it was brought to my attention--not for advertising. This should be clear from all my own contributions. I hope wikipedia agrees that the article is worth keeping.

Comment to Jmundo: Those don't appear to be verifiable third-party sources. They are art galleries offering the work for sale (the shopping carts are dead giveaways!).

Halls of Fame[edit]

This article is about an announced, but apparently unproduced, television series on The N, with which rapper Ludacris is supposed to be involved. The article was tagged for speedy deletion due to lack of sources. In fact, there are sources, a couple of which I have since added to the article. Unfortunately, substantially all the sources are from 2006, when the show was announced. The show is currently described in the article as scheduled to premiere in 2008, which obviously it isn't going to do since it's not on the network's schedule and there is less than a week left in the year. Two years is more than enough time in which to get a television series into production; as far as I can tell, the "Halls of Fame" project is no longer likely to ever make it to the screen. I recommend a delete, although if anyone can establish that the project is still viable, I may change my mind. Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:30, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh[edit]

Non-notable politician. Being the son of a notable person does not make one notable. The subject has not (yet) been elected to parliament, rather is only a candidate in a future election (along with several thousand other candidates). While the subject has worked as the lawyer of another leader, that alone or the trivial mention of that job alone does not make him notable either. There are about 400 references to the subject, mostly trivial mentions in news related to Sheikh Hasina's court cases, from personal websites/law offices, or from a list of candidates in the upcoming election (where thousands of other candidates are also listed/mentioned). --Ragib (talk) 07:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. Not significant electronic media coverage. Despite the amount of coverage the article claims the story generated, there is very little evidence available to verify all those facts.

Jesse Washington[edit]

The subject not notable as an individual, simply as the subject of an infamous event. At least, merge to "Waco Horror," or the main article describing the totality of the event. Pepe Machao (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the standard, then we should delete Emmett Till's page, too, since he didn't do anything notable except get lynched. The point is, his case was important and significant. Waco Horror redirects to this page already, so we can't merge this page to it. The point is, there are plenty of people who didn't achieve anything great in their lifetimes, but whose deaths were extremely notable and historically important. Jesse Washington is one such person, so his page should remain. I just looked him up the other day, and I can't believe I'm the only one.QuizzicalBee (talk) 04:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nominator should do his homework. Pepe Machao (talk) 03:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The first source for the article, the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, I don't even think this kind of festival is notable enough. While other movies that did get other press coverage were shown here, such as "Food of Love" in 2002, I don't see much for this movie. No other confirmed showings. Second, the the article that reviewed this belonged to a "TWIT Magazine." I looked for the article and I don't see even 200 search results for just the publication. The third source, I looked at and it seems it was reviewed by a Jason Buchanan from AllMovie. Looking farther, it is just a brief notation of the plot and they do that to every film that comes out. They even comment on stuff that isn't films, so having a review by AllMovie isn't that special. It also had an IMDB entry, but they are like Wikipedia to a degree and willing to accept information on all kinds of films from anyone with a pulse. In short, not enough has come out about this film in the terms of reception and just being on IMDB and a small time movie festival isn't enough to establish notability to the film. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:35, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Are you saying that Wikipedia accepts information "from anyone with a pulse"? IF so, why are you saying Wikipedia should delete the article? Pepe Machao (talk) 03:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I believe that the film is notable in that it was presented at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival. Wikipedia should be inclusive of all information for the entire internet. I submit that "notability" is an ambiguous concept that is subject to relative opinion. User Zscout370's arguments might warrant the deletion of many films on this website. I dispute his high threshold of "notability"--JRiverton (talk) 04:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps he did. Whatever the cause, he reconsidered his opinion and decided that the article deserves a chance to prove itself... so I'll choose not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I am much happier seeing an editor that has the courtesy to rethink an opinion than one who can never be swayed no matter what. As it is, and before responding here, I did some tweaks to the article to address an overly long plot section and added a few more sources. I think it passes now and will only get better with time.

Keep and applaud nominator for doing the right thing and bringing this to AFD for a resolution tot he ongoing argument of whether this should be deleted or not. Remember folks, AFD is not a battle between two parties, it is a discussion among wikipedians. Let's try to keep this in mind before lainching hand-grenades at at eachother, ok? As for this article, the subject has only been produced a few months and only released for 1 month, and yet it has received very wide acclaim, and has been sponsored by a very noteworthy festival. It is listed in Eric Clapton's favorite movies of all time, and has been covered in numerous reliable sources. NOt bad for a one-month old movie. As Zscout says, this canbe re-reviewed in 6 months to make sure it was not a flash-in-the pan knd of thing, but deletion right now seems obtuse.

Swaffling[edit]

Doesn't seem to be notable, but being the Dutch Word of the Year may count for something. HeureusementIci (talk) 23:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete--I assure you, no one asked me for my favorite word. I do note that the only English reference for a translation of a Dutch term is urbandictionary--and that we don't accept as a reference. The word is a translated neologism, and its meaning and scope is trivial. Perhaps it's the word of the year in the Netherlands now, but it won't be for long, and if some insensitive idiot wants to swing his dick against the Taj Mahal, who cares? Drmies (talk) 01:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Already covered in the Dutch wiktionary (which is where a word of the year should be). Since the whole thing was never officially translated and the win was based a single news event, I don't see how an article could be developed from this. The word of 2007 was Bokitoproof which is no longer in wide use, so this one too is unlikely to have lasting notability. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete People swaffle, but so far there was no name for it. There's an article on things like fellatio as well, which might as well be declared unimportant and flagged for deletion if swaffling doesn't qualify. With the media exposure regarding the topic, the election to word of the year and the picking up of the english neologism by some urban dictionaries, I think the existance of a wiki article on it is justified. - User:Naggiepoo|^(talk) 15:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Venera 13 and 14[edit]

This article was a failed attempt to combine the Venera 13 and Venera 14 articles into a single page. The article was then redirected to Venera 13 alone, and is now a disambiguation page. I nominate this former article for deletion because I assert that as the merge failed, no one would likely ever search for the two missions combined or otherwise land here accidentally, and thus this can be safely deleted.

Delete Unnecessary merger of two good articles; it might have seemed like a good idea at the time.Mandsford (talk) 22:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article was actually created before the other two articles were created, so the revision history of this article contains much of the content that has wound up being moved to the other two articles. Article histories are how Wikipedia preserves the attribution of contributions, which the GFDL requires, so deleting this article will make the other two articles into GFDL violations. I see no reason why this shouldn't be left as a disambiguation, it's harmless. However, if a decision is reached to delete it anyway, the deleting admin must first merge the history into one of the two articles before doing so. Bryan Derksen (talk) 22:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good point, but I believe they can do just as you suggest and merge the histories, which would preserve GFDL compliance. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:36, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Bryan. It's not by much, but he is correct. This article was the original and should be retained for attribution purposes as he states. If having the page in mainspace is a real problem, we could move it to the talkspace of Venera or one of the spin offs instead. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:03, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As Beeblebrox pointed out, if history preservation is desired for GFDL compliance, that can be accomplished after deletion by merging page histories. Considering that this page redirected to Venera 13 prior to the conversion to a dab page, I would nominate that page to receive this page's history up to dab-ification. It's not a hard process, and any admin can carry it out. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can't merge page histories when the history is deleted, because it wouldn't be present. Also, the histories seem to be overlapping, which would make the history of both target and origonal entry unreadable if merged. Besides, if we are supposed to split the article, it's impossible to merge histories properly with both resulting entries. History merging just doesn't work with this entry. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:07, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Since I did not receive any reply to my early request for information regarding his use of the term 'Sir' I assume he does not have a knighthood. Therefore, the regional award does not rank as a notable achievement. Awards should usually be national or international in scope to rate entry into Wikipedia.

Delete: I would consider dropping this entry since being a writer occasionally for a popular magazine does not make one an authority or notable. Notability is this case should be if she is 1. an authority in her field, 2. if the writer is well written in many similar magazines works or 3. if the individual has had numerous interviews. Also the concern I have is the lack of good independent references. Although the magazine to which the author writes is well known, so are Fate, Let's Live, American National Biography, American Fitness and Health. Writing for any of the magazines would not warrant inclusion in an encyclopaedia. Being a Senior Editor would be worthy of inclusion. Royalhistorian (talk) 06:57, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect to the IP commenters, can some registered users speak up? I'm just not sure how far Titus's contributions to the blogsophere have been recognized other than from fellow sports bloggers and one national supporter. There are an unlimited number of talented bloggers out there who get thousands of hits a day - but just because you're a strong writer doesn't mean your work merits an encyclopedia article, and Wikipedia isn't a stepping stone to help bolster your career. I don't mean to imply that this article is being used for personal gain, but I haven't really seen a case made yet for his notability other than the fact that Yahoo supports him. - Cue the Strings (talk) 05:54, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme dearth of reliable, independent third party sources to try and rewrite the article with as evidence by google and Google News as well as leading wine publications like Wine Spectator, Decanter and Wine Enthusiast, etc. Maybe the winery will eventually become notable and warrant an article that will written in a WP:NPOV and non-advert way.

Emoticon neologism. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments for others to ponder. these Google image hits for "Bg face" suggest there are many uses apart from the article definition. "Bg face" +emoticon yielded 6 hits that do not support the use of this term. A Google search for "Bg face" yielded just over 200 hits. In skimming throught these, I found none that support the article with verifiable information from reliable sources. I earlier deleted a fragmented version as WP:CSD#G1.

Delete as per Edward321 reasons. But I would be sympathetic to seeing this page recreated a few months from now IFF the author's concept generates positive discussion in several respected AI papers and journals that are independent of the author.

OMAR MALCOLM[edit]

Nowhere does this article actually establish anything of importance or consequence that he has accomplished, except some unsourced generic praise. The closest it approaches to demonstrating notability is mentioning he belongs to some political groups in which it is ambiguously asserted somebody may have said good things about him at some point somewhere. Vianello (talk) 00:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, A7, no importance asserted. Just another kid making a vanity article about themselves. Redfarmer (talk) 00:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concurrence. I made this a benefit-of-a-doubt AfD simply because I felt someone COULD argue the decent placings in literary competitions could be notable (even though I wouldn't say so myself). I might have been less charitable if I had immediately noticed it was a vanity article, but, so it goes. - Vianello (talk) 00:07, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, I listed it for speedy deletion, it's just vanity about an nn person. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 00:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No references provided, seems like a copy & paste from another website. Newport Beach (talk) 00:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
speedy delete - obviously a young person playing around and wrote an article about themselves and how they expect to be important in the future. No references, no article. Pretty funny how the person is supposed to be an important member of the Republican Party yet isn't old enough to vote. Jason Quinn (talk) 00:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Goliath (Walibi World)[edit]

Nominated for deletion by Mezelf14. No reason given. This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is ~~Neutral~~. Tevildo (talk) 11:52, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated it for several reasons: It has no Wikify and the information is wrong. Like Mini Hyper Coaster that must be Mega Coaster. I hope that you guys can read it, because i come from the netherlands. Mezelf14 (talk) 12:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, those aren't valid reasons for the article to be deleted. I've done a basic Wikify of the article and added a reference to the park's website; if there are any factual corrections needed, you (or anyone else) are free to make them. Tevildo (talk) 12:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i think that the quality of the dutch Wikipedia is higher so we have other rules. But maybe can someone place a Infobox with it, or a image? Mezelf14 (talk) 09:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think that being the longest rollercoaster in the Benelux countries is adequate grounds for notability, and I don't see any other reasons for the article to be deleted. Tevildo (talk) 12:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Claim of notability is OK. "Needs to tidy" not a reason to delete. Other language versions offer more informaiton which can be used to improve. Llamasharmafarmerdrama (talk) 14:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
