This article is about an author who does not meet notability. There are no independent sources writing about the author, nor are there any reviews of his fiction work Serum self-published through Xlibris. As a journalist, there is evidence his work has been published but without any sources writing about him, this only verifies he is a working journalist rather than a notable journalist. The PROD was contested and links added to the article presumably to demonstrate notability. I've reviewed those links and they are generally not independent of the source or is an article written by him. There is also a mention of him in somebody's thesis. None of these links establish notability, and indeed I had found many of them myself when doing my own search before placing a PROD on the article. Now bringing it to AFD for a fuller discussion.

Quite a few reference sources have been included in the Bendigo Weekly article to prove that it does in fact exist as a newspaper, has won a range of awards, has run prominent and effective campaigns successfully fighting for critical infrastructure for the local population, and is a paper with a remarkably high readership in a competitive market.
The Bendigo Weekly is notable as a newspaper in several aspects.
Firstly, it is one of only two newspapers to cover this large area. It is notable in currently having an astounding 77% readership figure as indicated by the independent Roy Morgan Research organisation.
Since its inception the Bendigo Weekly is notable in the respect that it has had a large impact on the lives of the local population, being instrumental in forcing government to build a pipeline to supply water in a drought prone area. Bendigo Weekly has also been notable in its efforts to secure a public hospital. These claims can be verified by entries in the Parliamentary record "Hansard" where the Bendigo Weekly is named as a source of information. It is also notable in respect of the amount of awards this newspaper has won in a short period of time. From 2006 until 2009 the Bendigo Weekly got no less than 12 awards, remarkable for a country regional newspaper. No less remarkable were the "Walkley" awards won by the Weekly's editor - awards which generally go to city based newspapers. If any newspaper deserves an entry in Wikipedia it is the Bendigo Weekly.

The article is about a (non-notable) term for a subject which already exists: Haplogroup CT Andrew Lancaster (talk) 19:25, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The problem faced here is a case of popular culture meets hard science. The term "Eurasian Adam" appears in a few popular science books, such as The Journey of Man. As I have previously mentioned, biblical analogies sell books, and Eurasian Adam is a catchy phrase that is likely to attract attention. The reality is, there is no mutually exclusive Eurasian Adam. Consequently almost no peer reviewed scientific journal per google scholar uses the term, only a few books. The Y-chromosome family tree is a tangled web that makes a mutually exclusive Eurasian Adam impossible. That is Eurasian Adam is the common ancestor of only Europeans and Asians, but no other population. The so called Eurasian Adam, is actually the Adam of Africans, Australians and Native Americans as well, so it is a misnomer. Basically Eurasian Adam is the common ancestor of the entire world, except for 10-20% of Africans. 80% of Africans and the rest of the world are descendants of "Eurasian Adam". Consequently, I recommend merging it into haplogroup CT and providing the necessary caveats that such a mutually exclusive person does not exist. Wapondaponda (talk) 08:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Roy, my apologies if I have confused the issue a bit, but I do not see this as a content dispute. I see no real argument about content between those proposing to delete or keep this article, despite having asked for it. Please check the talk pages.
The comments of myself and Muntuwandi about the types of sources are looking ahead to problems that might arise handling this pop science term in the Haplogroup CT article, or any article where it continues to appear, if it has no consistent and clear definition.
For example is Eurasian Adam defined as the most recent common ancestor of all M168+ men, or is he the first person to have had that mutation. There are likely to be millennia between the two definitions. If Eurasian Adam is a meaningful term, and intended to be equivalent to Y-chromosome Adam, then it should be former of the two. The mutation could have happened virtually anywhere and anytime. Population genetics can help understand major dispersals, but not random single events. It deals with clades, i.e. groups of lineages with common ancestry, and not individuals.
The reasoning for an Afd is and was that:
Does that make sense?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 10:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My feeling is that the first alternative is clearly inferior, and I leave it up to the subject matter experts to figure out which of the second two is preferable. My gut feeling is that (and I respect the fact that you will probably disagree with me) is that the second is better than the third. If Eurasian Adam is a term only used in the lay press, then I suspect anybody who searches for it will be lost in the scientific jargon found on [Haplogroup CT]]. There is value in a simplified explanation (with a pointer to the more hard-core stuff for those who want to dig deeper). The hard part is knowing where the dividing line is between simplified and wrong. I'm certainly not asking that we present any information which is wrong, but try to look at it from the point of view of a 5th grade student working on a homework assignment (or an adult with no scientific training but heard the term on a TV show). If you type in Eurasian Adam and get to In human genetics, Haplogroup CT (P9.1, M168, M294) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup., you're not even going to make it past the first sentence. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To keep it distinct, given Roy's posting about avoiding content discussions here, I have started a separate thread on the article's talkpage about the problems Wikipedia will have with this subject independent of the question of whether the subject can be separated from Haplogroup CT. I looked at the sources, and the term does have definition problems, because the various definitions put this concept in definite conflict, apparently out of ignorance, with mainstream science, and therefore the subject can apparently only appear as a notable misconception in this subject area of Haplogroup CT, if at all.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 12:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been open for an extremely long time but fails to meet notability. "Us against the world" was released as a single under myspace records.

This article could be merged with the article on the Freshwater Drum. However, I believe it merits a stand alone article which could be named either "Lucky Stone" or "Lucky Stones." I have now enumerated various sources which point to the importance of Lucky stones in Ancient Native American Culture and in Modern Culture. Certainly, "lucky stones" merit more importance than recent articles I have read on Wikipedia regarding Pop Culture video games. The otoliths of the Freshwater Drum have been collected for centuries, especially along the main breeding grounds of the Freshwater Drum along the shores of Lake Erie and Red Lake in Wisconsin.

It strikes this author that perhaps it is Ethnocentric or Eurocentric to consider that the topic of "lucky stones" is not noteworthy enough to merit its own article when I just read a new article on Wikipedia titled Rick Dancer about a minor celebrity/politician in Oregon (where I currently reside). I will plead guilty to my own ethocentrism as well as the article would be stronger with more research regarding the Native American link to lucky stones. Unfortunately, most references I have found give only vague references to lucky stones having been collected for centuries by Native Americans and that they have been found in "ancient archaeological sites" etc.... I do remember reading one article that gave a specific tribal reference. Others could help me strengthen the article by doing further research as well. The broader point, however, is that lucky stones are artifacts which have been collected for centuries and seem to this writer far more noteworthy than many other articles that appear on Wikipedia.

Fails WP:BIO - all of the sources are trivial mentions of her activities for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Now that organisation is notable but notability is not inherited. If it was, the sources just don't support the article - the only really informative one is from the SOPI website and that does not count for the purposes of notability.

Start of cut & pasted material
Simonxag, the author of the text you’ve cited here[47] is not Evans and Healey, but “Sister Soami,” formerly “Sister Missionary Position." Evans and Healey are the editors the volume in which an interview with Sr. Soami appeared.
Pseudonymous members of fringe groups do not qualify as reliable sources. Even so, if you insist upon using them, you must cite them. To do otherwise 1) denies the writer credit for his/her work 2) puts words into the mouth of the person(s) to whom the material is falsely attributed 3) deceives readers and other editors about the true source of the cited claim.
Finally, though Routledge is indeed an academic press,Amie M. Evans and Trebor Healey are not academics, nor is the book an "academic book," as you’d written.[48][49] Instead, it appears that Evans is a writer of erotic fiction,[50] while Trebor Healey is a novelist and poet.
In the future, please take care not to misattribute and mischaracterize our sources.24.22.141.252 (talk) 21:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The authors are as I've stated them. The information does come from an interview in the book, but not from a piece written by Sister Soami. If my edit summary was inaccurate (which I think is debatable - not an academic book?), the citation in the article is 100% accurate. And I would consider the authors to be another independent reliable source to add to those already cited. Deletions, raised by sock puppets, now accusations by anonymous contributers. Things just get funnier and funnier. --Simon Speed (talk) 21:26, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I have improved on those two refs by using ((cite book)) and ((cite news)), filling in the details and using "quote=" to record what is said rather than paraphrase. Also, the old eros-guide zine mentioned above can be found at archive.org. None of those sources are spectacular venues of indisputable information, resulting in a biog riddled with dubious information. If we do use this type of source, it is important to show the reader the dubious nature of the information by properly describing the sources. John Vandenberg (chat) 00:51, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
End of cut and pasted material
Comment: I'm afraid the anonymous editor is factually correct. Since Sr Soami is listed among the contributors to the volume, and did not contribute any of the other articles, it is perfectly reasonable to assume the interview is Sr Soami's work. There is no basis for inferring that the editors of the volume conducted the interview. That doesn't, however, automatically make it unreliable. The volume is published by Routledge, and was itself edited.KD Tries Again (talk) 16:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)KD Tries Again[reply]
