Working--but not notable--musician. Not a member of any well-known band, no significant solo works, and no claims or reliable sources attesting otherwise. Part of a walled garden created by one editor's sole contributions, including The McCartney Years (band), Out Of Thin Air (album) and London Music Award.

  • Addendum: I would like to officially add Out Of Thin Air (album) to this nomination. I had added a prod tag to it, but as User:MacGyverMagic has 'resolved' the tagging by redirecting it to Yuri George Jan Pool, it seems only fitting to make things explicit. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 23:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This article is not a walled garden. Enough outside references that are reliable as well as verifiable oppose this claim. The artist in question is in fact notable and significant with clear and easy to find press coverage in major newspapers and TV network(s) (also as referred to in the original article). In general, incorrect claims and no references are made by primary plaintiff to support his/her claim.

I am open to discuss any recommendations to improve the article.

WP:POLITICIAN does not attribute notability to candidates, and there is no evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".

Being a parliamentary candidate in itself does not make someone notable. There is nothing else that is notable and I cannot find third party sources about this person. Quantpole (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • My own comment was not political and I see no evidence that any of the others were either. Attacking other editors is not likely to advance your case. WP:POLITICIAN is quite clear that candidature, regardless of party, is not in itself notable. Consensus is how policy is established and there must be exceptional circumstances - absent here - to override it. Neutrality does not trump notability. The majority of the external links are not independent of the subject; the remainder are not about the subject so confer no notability. This leaves only chairmanship of the Young Fabians - here I see no evidence that this has resulted in any of the requirements of WP:BIO, and WP:BIO1E would suggest that even if it had this would not warrant a separate article anyway. Your argument does not persuade me to change my !vote above. I42 (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • By stating that the comments are political I am not attempting to attack editors but merely raise a possible motive that may be fueling the discussion. I have edited my original comment to reflect that this is a concern. Additionally, I would use WP:POLITICIAN to promote the case that parliamentary candidates should be included in wikipedia. WP:POLITICIAN states major figures in national or first-level sub-national political races can be considered notable. Because the UK system does not allow people to directly vote for the Prime Minister, a member of parliament is the highest elected national office in the system. This being said, I think it is fair to say a major party candidate for Parliament is a "major figure in a national race." As for external links the additional ones provided are neutral and demonstrate the candidates stature within the local community. This candidate has received ample coverage in the local press, not all of which can be found with a simple Google Search. The very local nature of British Parliamentary politics make this a very grey subject, and my argument is that we should err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion. I understand the need for censorship within Wikipedia, but I think this is a valid challenge that needs to be analyzed. ZTomane1 (talkcontribs) 20:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia is not censored; censorship is not the issue here. Applying the Wikipedia guidelines equally to all articles is. If you want to discuss a particular policy, Wikipedia:Policy#Proposing_change_to_guideline_or_policy_status is the place to do it. I42 (talk) 20:17, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Censorship was the wrong word. I understand the need for oversight within wikipedia. Nevertheless, I am not proposing a change to the guidelines. Wikipedia's guidelines like any body of law is flexible and therefore open to interpretation. I believe the WP:POLITICIAN is accurate, I merely interpret it differently than some of those in this discussion and judging by the number of Parliamentary candidate articles popping up I would say so do others. I think we should consider the particular nature of the British Parliamentary system when making this determination, and judge whether candidates meet the WP:POLITICIAN criteria. I believe they do (see above argument). Provided articles are presented in a neutral manner, I see no reason why they should be excluded. Wikipedia notability is not a stonewall, it is flexible, and I think the parliamentary candidate situation poses an interesting challenge to this flexibility. ZTomane1 (talk) 21:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please use your common sense when reading Wikipedia policy. It's pretty obvious that the intention of the policy about major figures in national races was for elections to head of state or the equivalent, and attempting to re-interpret policies to mean something different is generally looked on dimly in Wikipedia. If you can find substatial coverage in local papers that goes beyond his candidacy, that might count, but it would have to be more than the odd quote in some newspaper articles. If you think you've got that, tell us and it might change the outcome of this debate. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unless anybody involved in this discussion actually wrote the wikipedia policy I think it is a bit presumptuous to make statements on the "obvious intention of policy." I believe that is the point of these discussions to reach a consensus on such issues. If that consensus is that this article does not reach notability standards, I will gladly and respectfully accept that. However I don't think any of us are in a position to comment on the "obvious" intention of policy. If the "obvious" intention of the policy was to refer to heads of state, then why doesn't that appear in the policy? As it is written, it is unclear, and therefore open to interpretation. I am not saying that I my interpretation is absolutely right. I merely aim to present an argument that may not have been considered by those who write wikipedia policy. The British system does not allow for the election of head of state, or for the Prime Minister for that matter. I would also add that Parliamentary candidates reach such a position by going through a rigourous selection process within the party. After such a selection they become the face of their party within the constituency they represent. This should be considered when judging their notability.

Local speech discussed in the Echo
Opinion on bus passes
The following examples, while I realize do not reach the level of independence the above articles, in that they were written by the candidate himself, I do believe still hold some validity in establishing notability, as they were still published in an independent source, again the local paper.
Views on town pool
Views on airport
Views on housing policy ZTomane1 (talk) 22:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any articles written about this person by 3rd party reputable sources? What has been presented so far is just this guys opinion on different things in the local paper. If that was the criteria for notability then we could create thousands of articles for people who have written into a newspaper or been quoted at some point. The Independent quote is a one-liner in an article mainly about Anne Campbell. There really needs to be more than this to establish notability. Quantpole (talk) 12:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would go further than Quantpole and say that if we added articles for election candidates who have been quoted in their local paper then we would have millions of articles, something which would seriously unbalance this encyclopedia and introduce further systematic bias. For Bonavia to be included we would need significant coverage in places like BBC, Daily Telegraph, Independent, Guardian etc etc and I just can't find any of that. We currently have seven references/external links the first, third and fourth are all from his local party website. The second and fifth again Labour party linked websites. The sixth a quote in a local paper about a local issue, not a significant mention and the last a brief quote in an article which is not about him.
So to sum up, the 'references' currently included are mostly Labour party linked sites, which would be at fault if they didn't try and talk up a candidate in such a hopeless seat. Valenciano (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would object to a merge if no reliable sources can be found. Otherwise we are (potentially) just making things up. It's not so much a notability problem as a verifiability problem. Galley proof has problems as a merge target. It is completely unsourced! People would be better off using the dictionary. EdJohnston (talk) 20:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Category:Book terminology looks worthwhile, and it does contain some longer articles that are more than dicdefs. But lack of sources is a problem!

I'm not sure where this theory that blogs are never reliable sources comes from, it certainly isn't supported by WP:V or WP:RS.

Non-notable piece of legislation. No sources provided that show notability. In-process label has been in place for weeks and no changes have been made recently aside from adjustments to the number of co-sponsors. A Google news search [5] for the term turns up nothing that establishes notability. Even if the bill were to pass, since the Federal Reserve is already audited regularly [6], so I can't see how a bill that forces another audit(?) would be notable.

Comment - I've already given my delete !vote above, so this is just a comment, with further thoughts; this is pretty much my thought process that went into that !vote, but I think it's worth documenting in further detail. My thoughts here are pretty much geared toward U.S.-based congressional legislation, because that's what I know. Much of it would apply to state or local legislation, although I believe the bars in those cases will be substantially higher, since the such laws affect so fewer people than those enacted at the congressional level. I don't have enough background outside the US to comment on proposed legislation in non-US jurisdictions.
The noteworthiness or lack thereof of proposed legislation if problematic. Pretty much every piece of congressional legislation will get some news coverage. Newsworthiness is not notability, as that term is used in Wikipedia. It is not sufficient to have a list of pieces of news coverage and use that, in and of itself, as a basis to claim notability. Unless the proposed legislation has clear indicia that it is notable, it's really not worthy of an article. One good indicium is that the legislation actually passes. But that's not in itself even enough: Congress passes a lot of legislation that's not particularly notable. The fact that a bill does not pass is an indication that it is not notable, but it's not conclusive. The controversy over the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, for example, was so great that I think that it would have been considered notable, even if it had not passed.
This is somewhat applicable to proposed constitutional amendments, as well, except that because amending the Constitution is a pretty big deal, it's not that unusual for attempts to do so to be notable, even if the attempts are ultimately unsuccessful; see, e.g., the articles on the Bricker Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment. Those amendment attempts are long-dead, but are still discussed today. Of course, for those two citable instances, there are a lot of amendment attempts that died and are not particularly notable.
It is worth bearing in mind here that Notability is not temporary: "It takes more than just a short burst of news reports about a single event or topic to constitute sufficient evidence of notability." As applied to this particular case, I really don't think that people will be talking about, or otherwise taking note of, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 after the sun sets on the current U.S. Congress in 2011.
My thoughts here are not limited to the FRT Act. We have other articles that I feel the same way about. As a specific example, we've got Patent Reform Act of 2005 (did not pass), Patent Reform Act of 2007 (did not pass) and Patent Reform Act of 2009 (still pending). I assume that the editors who created each of these articles believed that the bills had a pretty good chance of becoming law; I personally believe that the 2009 one will. But with the benefit of hindsight, it seems pretty clear that the 2005 and 2007 acts ultimately were not notable; and maybe the 2009 will turn out not to be as well. What's notable here is a topic like "proposed patent reform," which would discuss the various proposals that have been put forward, including these three acts (most of which duplicate each other, anyway). If the 2009 Act passes, then great, have an article on it that covers what it actually will have done.
In a similar vein, the FRT Act just doesn't meet the standard for notability. If there is an article on proposed economic or banking reforms, then a discussion of the FRT is probably worth including there; and as I said above, given the existence of List of legislation sponsored by Ron Paul, it's worth including there.
My general view here, to sum up, is that: 1) proposed legislation needs some actual indicia of notability to be notable in a Wikipedia sense; 2) newsworthiness can be almost presumed for proposed legislation at the congressional level, and is neither the same as notability nor in itself sufficient to confer notability, but it may be one factor; and 3) passage of the legislation is a strong (but not necessarily conclusive) indicium of notability. Applying this to the present article, I do not see that it meets these criteria for inclusion as an article. TJRC (talk) 20:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You asked me to comment. We're not a guide to the USCode, where it matters very much what passed and what did not; we're an encyclopedia covering notable things of the present and the past. Using your example, the history of attempts to reform the US patent legislation is of such importance to anyone who cares about patents in or out of the US (if only because US legislation has in the past bee on totally different principles from everywhere else), that every serious legislative attempt is notable. The current bill and the compromises in it and the debate over it and the comments on it, and the interpretations that will be made of it are very much influenced by the response to previous attempts. This does not mean that every attempt to pass legislation on a national level is notable. But the attempt is sometimes as notable as the actual passed Act--or even more so: the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment is even more indicative of American thinking of the period than it would have been if it had passed. And the debate can be more relevant than the bill itself, for either passed or failed. As for legislation under current consideration, the same guidelines as for any news story apply: is it clear yet whether it will actually be significant, & is the situation stable enough to write about?. DGG (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So what do we include? At a national level for nations of which we have comprehensive coverage, we should include every piece of legislation of significant public importance or where there has been significant public debate-- and every attempt noteworthy for legal or historic or social reasons. Just the same as for all other public events. They're the basic part of political history, and need very detailed coverage. My caveat about nations for which we have detailed coverage, is that we should if possible cover the most important things in a country first, & it might not be wise to try from the start to be comprehensive. At a national level what don't we include: private bills, of course, and technical changes, and commemorations, and the like. Legislation dealing with special interest does get included if the special interests are significant, for we aim to be comprehensive.
This does necessarily mean separate articles. When there isn't that much to say, then combination articles are a good compromise, as everywhere else. it's the coverage that matters, not the division into articles.
At a subnational level, the number of people affected are smaller, and we therefore need a fairly high level of significance. But the significance can be outside the state as well, as a model for elsewhere. At a local level, I do not know how to handle this and other local matters--in principle, being not paper, we should be able to cover very minutely. In practice, its not where our efforts should be spent.
and the "very weak" in my keep was because I am not convinced of the significance of this rather routine piece of posturing. Number of co-sponsors is not decisive in the US system, especially for things where legislators will want to have something to point to for their core constituency.

  • Again, this is about newsworthiness, not notability. TJRC (talk) 06:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Given its role in the recent Tea Party movement, that suggests it'll be undergoing some sustained support and a role in public discourse. So it's clearly notable right now and there's every indication it'll be newsworthy for some time in the future. At the least, this AfD is premature since this is a current developing topic. Buspar (talk) 07:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, a comment. The nominator stated: "Even if the bill were to pass, since the Federal Reserve is already audited regularly [19], so I can't see how a bill that forces another audit(?) would be notable." This indicates that the nominator does not actually understand the subject of the article. The act would require significantly more public disclosure of information than the current 'audits'. --darolew 20:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Find an independent reliable source that says that then, or even talks about the bill at all. Burzmali (talk) 02:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you've got your knickers in a twist over my use of the word "tiny." At any rate, to be clear, "tiny" in this instance is not important to my argument/opinion. I believe China-Luxembourg relations would be equally non-notable and deletable (per: non-notable bilateral relationship). Not all such relations are non-notable -- it doesn't get much tinier than East Timor or the Solomon Islands but Australia-East Timor relations or Australia-Solomon Islands relations are highly notable and would make fine topics for an article.

JohnCD (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As to why I wrote the piece, well, two reasons, first, in the difficult financial times we find ourselves, for someone to survive a bankruptcy, when there was a stigma attached, because of poor payers, to come back and still do good, might encourage someone else.

The second, his views on politics, race and religion, the acceptance of all without question, is in my opinion a great trait.

As to somebody searching on LDV, type in any name and it does not work, but open and read the Home and the Open Forum, and you will find loads, and they are well-researched pieces.

As to the list of charities, well, that is because he was connected to SKIN Bar and those are the charities he supports though all of his enterprises. There is not a single charity on that list that has not had a cash donation in the financial year Apr 6th ’08 to Apr 5th ’09 from John Kirby personally, I know because his secretary showed be all the receipts whilst he was out.

I now think I have done John a disservice, the page which I thought would be good, now suggests it is a hoax, and not truthful, so I would sooner see it removed than harm him, but I stand by it, and wholeheartedly, think it is an inspirational story.

Non-notable poet. Claims notability but no sources are provided. Google only returns 7 results for "farooq bakshi", including this article.

Comment by author dr farooq bakshi is a notable poet of urdu laguage in the indian state of Rajhasthan. he has immensely contributed towards the development of urdu language in the non-urdu speaking parts of india ,particularly rajasthan. his works are regularly published in all major urdu newspapers and magazines in India. Google doesnt return many results for his name because a lot of urdu newspapers and magazines in general do not maintain websites and the language itself is under represented on the web. the reason why google only returns 6 results for "farooq bakshi" is not because he is non notable but because indian scholars of urdu language are grossly under represented on the internet in general and of rajasthan in particular. also many news papers and journals of urdu in india do not maintain website where their works could be accesable. dr farooq is the poet who has left a lasting impression on the promotion of urdu language in rajasthan. One his awards is a Rajathan urdu academy award which is an annual award given for signifacant contribution towards development of urdu language. Rajathan urdu academy is body constituted by the state govt for managing affairs of urdu language. i will personally try to provide sources confirming his accomplishments. --218.248.32.114 (talk) 21:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would tend to believe, however the problem here is that one of the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability. If nobody can verify any of your claims then we may have a problem. To be honest, I'm not sure what's the policy in that case - a more experienced Wikpedian than me may be able to help, possibly on the help desk. Laurent (talk) 16:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The BBC is one of those sites that made lots of efforts to offer Urdu contents and news. Please can you check if you can find something releated to Dr. Farooq Bakshi on it?

wikipedia must stand by it 'verifiability' policy, no argiung upon that. but the i wish to raise a bigger issue here. that whether mere non existence of online information upon a particular topic or a person would make it unnoteworthy?. whether prior existence of online information is a sine qua non for being considered "genuine"?. Are you willing to accept citations and refrences of books,journals and news papers which are not available online? the problem is that large parts of the developing world is still beyond internet where the primary source of information is still printed ! if wikipedia overlooks this problem then i belive its too "elitist". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.225.244.42 (talk) 21:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Yes we are willing to accept print/ non-online sources, as we should - at least in theory.

Keep - User:Laurent1979 sent me a message on my talk page regarding the person in question. Just by googling the person in question's name, I was able to find two English language sources (see here). I am sure that there are more sources in Urdu and Hindi which I would recommend 220.225.244.42 to search for. I will work on improving the article later. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 21:56, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help Anupam. The two sources are about the same event though and his name is only mentioned once (without more details) so I'm not sure that will be enough. For example, he doesn't allow us to verify his biography or that he is the president of Anjuman-e-Taraaqi Urdu. As mentioned by LadyofShalott, it would help if 220.225.244.42 could provide the references of the journals and newspapers he mentioned. Laurent (talk) 22:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - English-language sources are not required for notability or verifiability. There are people on here who read Urdu and Hindi who should be capable of verifying any sources in those languages if they are provided. Of course, 220.x does need to provide them...

comment well i was more or less suggesting that if the sources were to be presented by someone with the capability of translating the information to the extent needed to verify notability, then it would be alright, but that information would have to be able to be verified by someone other than the contributer. I am not sure of the actual WP policy regarding other languages and was only making an educated guess as to how the process would work, but at present there are no primary or translated sources provided that can verify that the subject meets notability.Mrathel (talk) 21:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep The main statements of WP:NOTNEWS are that Routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article, which doesn't really apply, and breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information, which guides us to incorporate recent developments into the article rather than giving them prominence. WP:N is the basis that should be used for article creation. I am of the opinion that freak events with death tolls above a few people are automatically notable, so long as we have the reliable sources to make an article or addition to an existing article. These events are used as examples to change safety regulations, are something people remember (and fear, especially factory workers in Asia; a large population), and are unexpected enough that they don't get relegated to statistics like Gang violence (unless we want to merge it all into an Industrial Detonation in Asia article). It has significant, independent, reliable coverage at the national level [25] and was printed by global news outlets including Aljazeera [26] and the Wall Street Journal [27]. Habanero-tan (talk) 22:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The policy WP:NOTNEWS also states "Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events". There is no indication of historical notability at this time. Alluding to changing safety regulations is just an example of WP:CRYSTAL. WWGB (talk) 07:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it not historically notable? Habanero-tan (talk) 02:51, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Because history is not determined in 11 days. Only time will tell whether the event has historical notability. For example, did it definitely lead to a change in safety laws? Is there a national monument erected on the site? Is the media still referring to the incident after 6 months, 12 months? WWGB (talk) 03:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Punahou Circle apartments[edit]

Punahou Circle apartments (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Obviously there has been some coverage of this apartment building in the media, and WP:BUILDING apparently recently failed as a guideline so we don't have specific rules for these kind of structures, but as of right now I think this does not meet WP:N. I would say the coverage of these apartments to date is "trivial" not "significant," and essentially all of it relates to speculation about making it a landmark since Barack Obama once lived there (a Google News search for all dates on "Punahou Circle apartments" without "Obama" reveals no hits at all).

The sources linked in the article (I did not bother cleaning this up since I'm putting it up for AfD) suggest that it will be some time before any decision is made about this building getting landmark status. If it does eventually, and even more so if it becomes something more akin to the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, then we should likely have an article on it. For now all we have is speculation and the knowledge that an American president once lived here, but I don't think that's sufficient for an article at this time. Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 03:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not familiar with that AfD, but from how you describe it, it only had one citation mentioning former LDS presidents and didn't seem to have been the very in-depth subject of multiple independent sources as this property has. Besides, as much as LDS presidents are important to LDS members, the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world, is by far a different level. --Oakshade (talk) 05:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it's debateable as to how far that can go, Oakshade, but I figure this - the LDS presidents are, generally, notable enough to all have their own articles here on WP. I'm with BTP on this one - if it becomes a landmark, then most certainly a keeper - but first it has to get there. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. =D --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide links to specific sources which provide "very in-depth" coverage? And by "very in-depth" I mean going far beyond simply pointing out that the apartment building is being considered (maybe) for landmark status. There are a bunch of articles that mention that, but having an article solely on that basis would be a classic violation of WP:NOTNEWS. And I think WP:CRYSTAL is relevant here, because if the building was ever made a landmark then we'd have to think about it very differently. Right now we don't know whether that will happen or not. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 05:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you have a different definition of "very in-depth", but multi-paragraphed reporting, interviews and analysis easily satisfies my definition of "very in-depth". Perhaps you missed the point of my argument, even without official "landmark" status, the building satisfies WP:NOTABILITY. WP:NOTNEWS applies to "persons and events". The childhood home of the most powerful person in the world is not a person or event. Besides, even in December and without any discussion this might be an official "landmark", it was already a tourist attraction.[34] We're well beyond crystal ball speculation as to the notability of this location.--Oakshade (talk) 05:28, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Where do you see "multi-paragraphed reporting, interviews and analysis" about this apartment building? Seriously, can you provide links to articles that have that? And again I mean about this apartment building itself - not a story that just mentions it and the connection with Obama. I mean articles that talk about its history, architecture, residents, etc. etc. Everything I've seen is a variation on "Obama lived here once, it might become a landmark." I can't think of anything else we would put in the article at that point and that ain't enough. And the policy I was referring to, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information," is not just about persons or events, obviously. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 05:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you need the articles copied and pasted for you? Click on them and you will read very in-depth muilti-paragraphed articles about this building. This alone is in-depth reporting, interviewing and analysis about this building. More here. You seem to be under the strange impression that because they focus on the building's Obama history, that somehow means the sources only provide trivial coverage as you mentioned in the nom comments. "Trivial" coverage is defined by WP:NOTABILITY as a "one sentence mention." The coverage of this building is extremely beyond the scope of "one sentence." --Oakshade (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need anything copied and pasted, obviously, and let's please try to avoid getting snippy. You still are not providing multiple links to articles as I've asked. This is a very standard request in AfDs, not something to be annoyed by.
In the above comment you provided exactly one link to an article (one which I had already seen incidentally, or something similar - I really have read about 10 of the sources that come up on Google News and they all say basically the same thing). Besides mentioning Obama and the landmark issue, here is the sum total of what it says about this building: "There are 96 units in the Punahou Circle apartments Obama lived in with his grandparents on the tenth floor in a two bedroom unit that's about 1000 square feet. They initially were in a one bedroom unit, but then shortly moved into the larger apartment." I believe the entire article (which is a transcription of a 90 second local news story) is exactly 15 sentences long which is not even remotely close to in-depth reporting - it's basically a press release which is kind of how the news report reads.
If we used this source (or similar ones) to build our article on this apartment complex, we would be able to say that it has 96 units and that Obama lived there on the 10th floor. Do you honestly believe that's worthy of a Wikipedia article? I'm asking in all seriousness because I truthfully don't see what you have in mind here in terms of turning this into an encyclopedia entry. Again, if you could link to other secondary sources that actually cover this building itself in some detail—or at least explain what you think will go in this article beyond "Obama lived in this building"—that would be helpful. I'm not trying to pester for perstering's sake, I just don't see any in-depth sources as you keep suggesting.
Finally, and not incidentally, you are reading WP:N incorrectly I'm afraid. Obviously you're looking at the first footnote there, which notes that a "one sentence mention" is "plainly trivial"—i.e. if something only receives a one-sentence mention then it's trivial in the context of that particular source. This is not remotely to say that 2, 8, or even 15 sentences automatically denotes "significant" coverage. In point of fact something could be covered in hundreds of news articles and still be "trivial" by Wikipedia standards. You have not at all demonstrated that this apartment complex has received non-trivial coverage, but I could still be convinced if you provide some actual evidence for that. Again I've looked and not found any. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 07:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is claiming the coverage is about attributes of the building, but it's about the Obama connection. That's why it's notable. A place can be notable for any reason, whether it be the architecture, history or anything else. Your interpretation of WP:NOTABILITY to somehow mean that coverage of "hundreds of articles" on a topic could still be "trivial" is unique to say the least. For your request for actual links to "multi-paragraphed" articles on this topic, I actually did provide them above, but here are some individually.
[http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=94294 "What about the hospital of his 'birth'? Hawaii moves to make Obama childhood home national landmark"] (25 paragraphs)
"Obama's childhood home may become landmark" (13 paragraphs)
"Obama's Childhood Home Could Become Historic Landmark" (roughly 8 paragraphs (15 actually, but they're rather short), plus a 1:52 video)
There are more articles but I'm too tired to cut and paste them. But anyway, the claim that these are one sentence "Obama lived in this building" sources is opposite of reality.--Oakshade (talk) 07:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, no, my interpretation of WP:N, as you say, "to somehow mean that coverage of 'hundreds of articles' on a topic could still be 'trivial'" is not at all unique, that's the policy. When Barack Obama spends 12 hours in Turkey, there are hundreds (thousands) of articles about it. We do not create an article called "Obama's 12 hour trip to Turkey." When Kanye West writes a blog post about a South Park spoof of him there might be hundreds of articles about it. But we don't write an article called "Kanye's Blog Post About South Park." This is what we mean when we say that Wikipedia is not a newspaper. In my view you have not remotely demonstrated that the level of reportage about the Punahou Circle apartments rises above that of any other flash-in-the-pan story unworthy of encyclopedic coverage. The sources you provide are all variations on the exact same theme, and showing that 200 papers/local TV stations have said the exact same thing is just not evidence of significant coverage.
Having said that, I thank you for tidying and sourcing the article. In my view that's just about exactly as long of an article as we can have on this, and it's based entirely on sources that are essentially identical and which ascribe no significance to this place other than the fact that Obama lived there and that it might (or might not) get historical status some day (incidentally one of the other articles mentions multiple other places that Obama lived in Hawaii - this one just happens to be receiving coverage at the moment). For you that's enough for a Wikipedia article, but I see a permanent stub (unless this actually becomes a historical landmark - that would be a different situation) that does not pass WP:N. Obviously we'll have to agree to disagree, so hopefully some other editors can weigh in here and swing the debate one way or the other. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 07:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comparing "Kanye's Blog Post About South Park" with this location is comparing apples to oranges and seems very much a red herring argument. This location isn't an "event." I think the childhood home of the President of the United States is notable and in this case, it has received in-depth coverage by many sources. You seem to be attempting to redefine WP:NOTABILITY's definition of "trivial." While it used to define it at a "passing mention or directory listing" (obviously the coverage this building has received is extremely beyond the scope of "passing mention or directory listing"), it now only provides one example of what is considered "trivial" and that is a "one sentence mention" in a biography of a different topic. The coverage is far beyond a "one sentence mention" and is actually the primary subject of multiple independent sources. If you'd like to change WP:NOTABILITY's definition of "trivial", you need to make your case in its talk page, not push an agenda on a specific AfD. If you think that simply being the childhood home of Obama and nothing else is "trivial", that's fine but it is not in any manner WP:NOTABILITY's definition. --Oakshade (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
AGF a bit will you? I'm not "pushing an agenda," or trying to change WP:N via an AfD (???), and claiming that is quite beyond the pale. I've don't believe I've ever edited that policy page and have nothing to do with how it is worded. We are reading/understanding it quite differently, obviously. I continue to think your view of what entails "significant coverage" is inaccurate, for reasons I have already expressed and will not repeat. I certainly have not accused you of pushing an agenda or trying to redefine our core policies: I just strongly disagree with your interpretation as you disagree with mine which is often par for the course in these kind of discussions. I think we can leave it there without impugning one another's motives. Finally the distinction you keep making between "locations" and "events" is odd in my view. Yes, this is a place, not an event or person, but it is beholden to the same rules when it comes to notability. Like events, places can be covered in a one-off manner (as Kanye's blog post has been, hence the analogy) that does not warrant wikipedia coverage and that's what I'm arguing happened here. Okay NOW I'm done discussing this (I lied earlier apparently). Apologies to the closing admin for all this verbiage, though I do think the issues under discussion here are semi-important. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If it gets NRHP status then it's a different story as I've said. It doesn't have that yet and obviously we are not a crystal ball, so the fact that it's "altogether likely" that it will receive a special status is neither here nor there at the moment. Incidentally it's one of many homes Obama lived in in Hawaii, and it's not his birth home. If it ends up as a landmark it's easy to recreate the article. But would you agree that if it does not end up with NRHP status then we should not have an article on it? If you take that view then I think the only thing to do is delete it for now since we just don't know what will happen (maybe eventually his birth home will get landmark status instead and this building will not, who knows). Finally, and I'm really finding it troublesome that a couple of experienced users are missing the boat on this which is why I'm weighing in again and then I swear I'll shut up, "articles written about it by several newspapers independent of each other" does not a subject for a Wikipedia article make. Right now this is a one-off news story (Obama lived here, it might get landmark status) being covered exactly the same way by a number of outlets akin to the way in which hundreds of papers will print an AP wire story. We cannot, right now, turn that into an encyclopedia article. If later we can, great, but let's wait until then - this article simply jumps the gun, and our policies do not encourage us to keep it around under the assumption that the subject will later take on more significance and receive more in-depth coverage. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 20:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article makes a claim of notability, that the subject's work has appeared in anthologies of best sports writing. This means that the article cannot be deleted under CSD criterion A7. However, a quick google search actually doesn't turn up much on this person, so I'm not sure if the claim of notability is true. Danaman5 (talk) 02:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is obviously not encyclopedically written, but aside from that, I don't think the documentary about this man provides notability to him. Perhaps an article could be written about the documentary, but it would have to be done so from scratch, so there's no point in keeping this here. Note that the previous AfD was about an article on a completely different topic (a puddle in Ohio). Chick Bowen 02:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a murderer fails BLP1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. The event in question, a triple murder, has only recieved sensational rather than encyclopedic coverage, which is required per WP:NOT#NEWS. That policy states that Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events...Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. The article itself reads like a newspaper clipping, as it only states sensationalist facts and does not analyze the importance of the person in relation with the rest of the world. I haven't found any sources to adequately document her in an encyclopedic manner. Furthermore, this article violates WP:BLP1E, which states Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry...If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted. Marginal biographies on people with no independent notability can give undue weight to the events in the context of the individual, create redundancy and additional maintenance overhead, and cause problems for our neutral point of view policy. In such cases, a merge of the information and a redirect of the person's name to the event article are usually the better options. Cover the event, not the person. Per both of these policies, this article should be deleted. ThemFromSpace 02:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was a previous no-consensus close in February 2008. Some weak sources were found in the AfD but there's no conclusive evidence that they provide notability if indeed they're reliable sources.

The AFD process was not completed and I am therefore bringing it here. This article was deleted after an AFD in 2007 and the only new google hits for Lil Henchmen that I can find are 1) he was allegedly slapped by Tony Yayo (this is not mentioned in the article) and 2) he was "co-signed" by Sean Kingston, although there are no explanataions of what that means. Certainly his portfolio of work (=0) looks particularly thin even by Wikipedia Music's standards. This article has been twice speedied and each time the tag was removed by a non-administrator.

This is another of the bilateral relationship articles mass-produced by User:Groubani without attempting to demonstrate notability. A Google search doesn't turn up any reliable sources on the relationship between the two countries other than routine government websites and some material on an eccentric Australian group which started a settlement in Paraguay in the 1890s (which is already covered in the New Australia article). The Australian Broadcasting Corporation also doesn't have any stories on the relationship between the countries in its online news archive. Moreover, neither country currently has an embassy in the other and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's website states that 'Australia's positive relations with Paraguay are modest' and that there's only about $2 million per year in trade between the two countries. As such, this bilateral relationship does not meet WP:N Nick-D (talk) 00:27, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
