This article is about Kabbalah. The name of the article, "Toledano Tradition", is a term used only in the books of one kabbalist, Warren Kenton and by his followers. The term is not used in any traditional works of Kabbalah, nor by any scholars of Kabbalah. The term "Toledano Tradition" is very closely tied to the books of Warren Kenton, and with no one else. The article also contains diagrams from Kenton's books. Given that, the article should have been directed at a discussion of that particular aspect of Kenton's teaching....if such an article is justified. Instead, much of this article, as it now is, just duplicates part of the history section that is already in the Kabbalah article Malcolm Schosha (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I want to restate briefly the problem with the article and reason for the RfD. The article is presented as a balanced account of the history of Kabbalah and summery of the goals of Kabbalah. But it is not balanced because it represents the teaching of one Kabbalast, Warren Kenton...a Kabbalist who is not in the mainstream of Jewish Kabbalah tradition. Since Kenton's ideas are particular to him it it is necessary to make that clear, which the present article does not. Rather the contrary it claims to be objective and balanced. Compare this statement in the article:
During these periods, Kabbalists incorporated into their expositions and exegeses a degree of Neoplatonism that conformed to the requirements of Jewish theology and philosophy, though, to some extent, in medieval times, it conflicted with the Aristotelian approach to Jewish philosophy by Maimonides and his followers [[1]]
to this more balanced statement:
Beyond the specifically Jewish notions contained within the kabbalah, some scholars believe that it reflects a strong Neoplatonic influence, especially in its doctrines of emanation and the transmigration of souls (see Neoplatonism).[2]
Clearly the second quote is more sensitive and more balanced, admitting the views of religious Jews, who reject the presence of Neoplatonic influence; while also stating that a contrary scholarly view also exists. This is a single example, but the extent of unbalanced statements results in an article that amounts to original research. Of course, if it was presented as the thinking of Kenton (who is notable), there would be no problem; and it might be acceptable to merge the article with the Warren Kenton article. Because even the name of the article, Toledano Tradition, is completely tied to Kenton that might make sense. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to re-creation or Completely Rewrite and add content from the Kenton Tradition Warren Kenton and the Toledano tradition is important with many external sources and many shelves of books and lots of followers. SUch an article on the Kenton school and its teachers would be imporatant, just as the Kabbalah Centre is important. But this article as it stands is about medieval Kabbalah with 2 lines about Kenton. The Jewish Encyclopedia in 1901 considered Kabblah as Neo-platonism as do many contemporary scholars. That discussion of the role of Neoplatonism in Kabblah belongs elsewhere- either under "kabbalah" or "Neoplatonism and Kabbalah." The debate over Neoplatonism is not a specifically Warren Kenton discussion- Kenton just relies on the pre-Scholem views- that are back in fashion with some scholars. Kenton's contribution is not his citation of 19th century scholarship on Neoplatonism and Kabblah, rather to create a universal kabbalah thatis not Alester Crowley or Golden Dawn.

This article was previously deleted as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gerald Richardson., mainly due to It was later merged to WLS-TV as a section, which has (again) been deleted. It has now been recreated as this article, which was originally a redirect. Let me summarize some of the arguments related to the event in question.
The clear consensus from the last AfD was, not only is this a BLP violation as an article about the subject, but it's not a notable event. Wikipedia is not news and this event has no lasting notability — it got some minor coverage because of the circumstances, and the drifted into obscurity. It's probably no more, or less, notable than any one of the innumerable car crashes which makes it into the back pages of the New York Times. Indeed, the only claim to any lasting fame is that it became an internet meme — but, naturally, this claim is unsourced. Did this happen? Yes. Was it reported on? Yes. Does that make it notable? Not in the slightest. Haemo (talk) 21:04, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. Deleted once already in November as a non-notable junior hockey player. The only thing that has changed is that he died yesterday. However, Wikipedia is not a memorial, and dying does not create notability. Wikinews already has a blurb on his passing, as do the Windsor Spitfires and 2007-08 Calgary Flames season articles. Resolute 20:38, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll make the same point now that I did then - you cannot define a sport as professional, and the fact that professional hockey exists doesn't exclude an amateur hockey player from acheiving notability. Almost all sports can be competed at both the professional and amateur level, and hockey is no exception. So, a hockey player can meet the test of WP:BIO because they've "competed in a fully professional league" or they can meet the test of WP:BIO because they've "competed at the highest level in amateur sports" and they have secondary sources published about them. If the community here has generally taken the position that the OHL is an amateur league - and more on that in a second - then I think it's a completely defensible position that it's at the highest level in amateur hockey (along with the Quebec and Western leagues and the NCAA Division 1). I also see at least two secondary sources referenced in the article from prior to his death, and there are doubtless more out there. As such, he meets that test of WP:BIO. However, here's a more radical thought to throw into the mix, or maybe it's not that radical and already been debated within the project. Is it appropriate to consider the OHL an amateur league? OHL players are drafted from the lower levels of junior hockey, they sign a contract that binds them to the team, and their rights can be traded to another team - none of those are consistent with what we'd generally consider to be characteristics of amateur sports. OHL players are paid a salary - Wikipedia's own article on amateur sports reads, in part, "By definition amateur sports require participants to participate without remuneration.". In fact, due to the fact that they're paid a salary, they're barred from later playing hockey in the NCAA. Anyway, the last paragraph is just food for thought. Per the first two paragraphs, Keep.

Now, I created this article; taking its information from the Canaan article; hoping that someone with some expertise will come and edit this. So if this source isn't good enough for this article; then it would seem to me that it shouldn't be good enough for the Canaan article; and therefore that paragraph should first be deleted.

Previously speedy deleted; consensus at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 7 was to restore and list at AfD. Sources are included at the linked deletion review. Issues to be considered include notability and possible violation of WP:NPOV. Neutral nomination. Chick Bowen 05:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply] I did not check out the DRV debate so I'll probably just repeat what was said there.
I'd say yes to a) and I don't think one can seriously argue that sources are lacking. As for b), I think it's doable but the article needs an entire re-write (random example: "on which he has fought to expand North Carolina's use of clean, renewable energy" is definitely slanted). I'd propose keeping and stubifying the article. If similar problems reoccur, delete: we can't let Wikipedia be hijacked by public relations offices of minor political figures.

This is just a research essay, and it does not describe itself. It instead persuades people to use "approaches to international law", whatever this is. This article is very scholarly and it appears that only experienced in law would be able to understand this article/essay. It would need a very substantial rewrite to make this an actual article.

(A previous editor tagged it with a ((prod)) for notability that was removed, so I have listed it here.) Not sure if this list meets notability requirements. WP:BIO states that lists of people are assumed to be lists of notable people, and not exhaustive lists of all people associated with a notable subject. The ship is notable and has its own article at SS Gothenburg. Prior to this article being forked off from SS Gothenburg there was some discussion here as to the notability of the passenger and crew lists. Bellhalla (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
