Non notable politician. DimaG (talk) 00:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Being on the city council is not notable in most cases, and being on the city council of East Hanover, New Jersey (population 11,427) isn't one of the exceptions. I did like the succession box for the office of principal of the local elementary school. Mandsford (talk) 14:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Mandsford. Cute, but does not cut it. Her name gets over 2,300 Ghits, but most of those are networking sites and mirrors. If you remove those, much of what remains is not clearly about this politician, but may be about other people. She also has zero news Ghits. I can verify that she's a Principal, but that's it.

Keep. WP:MANOTE is an essay. It has no relevance here. The sources added (as "external links" not supporting any of the material in the article) appear to be mostly unreliable (official website, interviews, blogs, etc). However, the sources do verify, reliably, that he is the Dutch champion and a professional fighter (see the Liverpool Echo article which is about the only link I would consider reliable). That is enough in my view to get him over WP:ATH. I would support stubbification. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:MANOTE is an essay which is part of the Martial Arts Project and represents the consensus of the MA editors (see the talk page). jmcw (talk) 10:27, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I understand that. But MANOTE does not represent the consensus of the community at large, in the way that WP:ATH and WP:BIO do. The community decides what articles are kept and deleted, not individual wikiprojects. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:19, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Wikiprojects are given general jurisdiction over additional, more specific notability for their areas of interest. The essays on notability created by Wikiprojects are generally considered to be consensus for that topic. This is even more so for the Martial Arts Wikiprojects, where there is not even any opposition to the notability guidelines, but full consensus. And, as the box on the top of the Football Wikiproject says, "This page is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. It has not been accepted as a Wikipedia policy or guideline, though it may be consulted for assistance during an AfD discussion or when considering creating a standalone article. The degree of consensus that went into creating this essay (a potential measurement of the reliability of the advice) can be judged by consulting the history and talk pages. WikiProjects are encouraged to write essays on notability." Silver seren^C 18:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiprojects are given no jurisdiction whatsoever. The community decides what gets included in the encyclopaedia, not a narrow group of experts in a particular field. No amount of lawyering about the meaning of an essay - by citing essays on the meaning of essays - can affect that basic principle. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ESSAYDEL is a proposed policy essay, so it is certainly given higher priority. Furthermore, are you seriously going to discredit arguments to avoid when it is linked and referenced everywhere by hundreds of users? And I am offended that you would accuse me of wikilawyering. Silver seren^C 19:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where did I accuse you of wikilawyering? I don't mean plain "lawyering" to be a perjorative term. I'm a lawyer myself. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made the assumption that when you said "No amount of lawyering", you were referring to Wikilawyering. If I was wrong, then I apologize. Silver seren^C 19:42, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Belmont Club[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable political blog. Of the references given in the article, the first does not mention the blog, only quotes its author; the second is an editorial; the third is the site itself; and the fourth is an unadorned link from ABC's blog (which can in no way be considered to fulfill WP:WEB criterion 2, before someone brings it up). I'm not seeing anything that would meet the general notability guideline in my own searches. Prod was disputed after the fact on the basis that "PROD process did not invite input". —Korath (Talk) 19:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a bit of an oddball case. Like academics, the more intellectual bloggers are seldom written about per se, and more likely to be quoted or cited. In that context, Fernandez is a decently significant public intellectual. The Sunday Times piece describes the pseudonym used by the author on the blog - an indirect tribute. The Weekly Standard piece also gives the blog high praise as an influential military blog - and I fail to see what it being an editorial has to do with anything, for purposes of notability. Here is Salon critiquing Fernandez in the context of press corruption by insurgents in Iraq [3], being quoted at length in another Weekly Standard blog [4], by Michael Barone in US News [5] on the corruption in the US government, co-authoring a contributed feature in the Jerusalem Post with an American brigade commander [6]. This is pretty amazing for a Filipino-born Australian with no official position whatever in the government. Insofar as an encyclopedia is supposed to be about human knowledge and the people who generate it, influential intellects like Fernandez's, and the work they produce deserve a writeup (this is, if you like, a direct analogy to WP:PROF criterion 7, although Fernandez is not an academic in the standard sense of the term).

Comment Ray, does your view mean that maybe this article should be about the person rather than the blog? Buckshot06 (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Honestly, I'm indifferent. In the normal practice of covering academics, we make the article about the person, and not the work. But here, all the person's notability stems from work very closely identified with the blog. I could go either way here, I just think it's important the material is retained and available for our readers. Ray^Talk 02:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- seems a decently sourced small article on a notable public intellectual, notable illustrated by the discussion of his contribution/analysis in Salon, US News, Sunday Times, etc. N2e (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Ray, possibly move to Richard Fernandez per Buckshot06. Mildly comparable articles might be Michael Totten and Michael Yon (I say "mildly" because Yon and Totten are reporters whereas Fernandez analyses stuff, but their notability is similar). Miracle Pen (talk) 04:14, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and, if moved to Richard Fernandez, then a redirect from Belmont Club to Richard Fernandez should be kept in place. But, since Fernandez is mainly known for the Belmont Club, rather than vice versa, and since the Belmont Club has long been distinctly a complexus of Fernandez and his commenters, I'd argue for a redirect from Richard Fernandez to the Belmont Club.

Thyroid disease health scam[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This one is a little tricky. According to the article, there is an e-book available that supposedly discusses a cure for thyroid disease, but nowhere in the article or in the external links does it even mention the title of the book. After some heavy Google searching, it appears that the book was written by Perry Belcher, but he doesn't even have an article (possibly because his arrest violates WP:ONEEVENT). His name on here redirects to Selmedica, a company he worked for, but I don't suggest redirecting this article there because it doesn't go into detail what connection (if any) the two subjects have other than Mr. Belcher.

DigiVault Remote Backup[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unable to locate any coverage in reliable sources suggesting notability. Note when searching for sources that there seems to be an unrelated company/product also named "DigiVault" that does MS Exchange backup. Cybercobra (talk) 04:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is another completely independent and separate company based in New Zealand called DigiVault. That company is not listed in Wikipedia. The suggestions for reliable sources and notability are appreciated and will be worked on. DigiVault, Inc. is notable in that it is the only listed Canadian based remote backup solution provider. It offers similar and in many cases superior backup protection for its Canadian clients. Which is relevant for professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants, etc. that have highly confidential information with the requirement to store their backups locally on Canadian servers protected under Canadian law. There seems to be an inconsistency in scrutiny in this area as well. There are at least two other similar remote backup companies listed - BackMii, and PowerFolder - that have similar recommendations, but no deletion request. All three are relevant to the remote backup service category. And I would think any Canadian users would like to see remote backup solutions specific to their locale. wperdigao —Preceding undated comment added 16:01, 20 March 2010 (UTC). — Wperdigao (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep, the guy may be a mere gnome in his industry but he is a significant one who has been in the background of giants we all know and has made a notable difference in their careers. It will just take more work to find references, which is no reason to cop out and forget about him. Incubate this stub for a few years but don't make it necessary to resurrect it from scratch after somebody finally digs up something out of their archives to fill in some blanks. When it comes to the more private individuals in such a highly notable industry we have to expect it to take more time to flesh out an article on these people. Aaron Walkhouse (talk) 04:55, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article says that "(...)he developed working relationships with songwriters as diverse as Bob Dylan, Ira Gershwin, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix ", but it doesn't say what kind of working relationship (songwriter? score proof reader? accompanist? the guy who carries the artists' briefcase?). It also estates that he worked for a company selling "(...) tens of millions of recordings by Stephen Stills, Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young), Firefall, Aretha Franklin, Joe Cocker, Bob Seger and many others", once more not saying what he did in the company (CEO? manager? receptionist?). Okay, he was the manager to Stephen Stills. This is interesting: "(he continued) to develop his music publishing interests, in 1991 Ken signed up-and-coming songwriter Frank Wildhorn to an exclusive music publishing deal. In the ensuing five years, Frank went on to become the most important composer on Broadway having successfully developed four musicals: Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Civil War and Dracula"... what is his merit? He was neither the composer nor the libretist! I don't see how working near these well known artists makes him notable, and also there're no sources.--Karljoos (talk) 11:14, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There's nothing to establish notability. The claims for notability in the article are all very nebulous. We have an abundance of name dropping with no indication of why the association to these people should be considered notable, and more importantly, there are no sources to support the claims. We have claims of industry awards with absolutely no information about what these awards are; we have only vague claims. These cannot be verified as there is no information to actually verify. We also have claims of multiple gold and platinum albums. Again, we have no details. -- Whpq (talk) 16:38, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was sent to AFD in 2006 and was kept. However the reasons for keeping were weak such as "if anime voice actors get their own pages surely adult movies deserve their own space as well.". It provides no evidence of notability.

Comment. Note the following has been placed on the article's talk page by an IP who has edited the article. I take this to be an argument to keep the article so am posting it here: "David Golshan has several article about him on the Internet. starred in an extremely high rated TV show, owns a notable website and fashion company and has a pretty ok size fan base. He definitely deserves a WIKI page." --Mkativerata (talk) 23:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The IP who posted that is User:76.205.150.14. Have you looked at this user's Contributions history? It is SOLELY comprised of him either updating Golshan's article or including mention of Golshan in other articles. It is obvious that 76.205.150.14 IS David Golshan. His contributions to his own article and others violate the "Self-promotion and indiscriminate publicity" section of WP:NOTE and WP:CONFLICT, and his weighing in on whether or not he is notable is another violation of WP:CONFLICT. Though I recognize that Mkativerata was acting in good faith when he brought 76.205.150.14's comments here, the comments themselves have no place here.Mmyers1976 (talk) 15:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pavel (The-Alchemist) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-alechmist (talk • contribs) 06:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Regarding the two articles that The-Alchemist brings up, these two subjects look like they are of questionable notability themselves, which I am not going to go into here, but even they have more reason to be encyclopedically notable than Golshan based on comparing their careers versus his, so bringing them up doesn't help the case to keep the article. As far as having been on one episode of Millionare Matchmaker goes, that is no criterion for notability. If we were to consider people notable for being featured as having hired Millionaire Matchmaker to help them find a date, we would have to consider anyone who was featured on HGTV "House Hunters" because they wanted to buy a house notable. The sources that 76.94.198.116 posted here (which are also many of the same sources in the reference section on the page in question) do not prove notablility, as some are stories about the Millionaire Matchmaker TV show that happen to mention the episode with Golshan, in which case my sentence immediately preceding this one applies, some are blogs, and some are press releases from "Hollywoodsuccess.com" or PRWeb (or reposts of these press releases). Hollywoodsuccess.com and PRWeb are for-pay promotional tools that actors and their agents use to promote their careers, so again we find Golshan's page failing to meet notability based on the "Self-promotion and indiscriminate publicity" section of WP:NOTE. Some other "sources" are Funny or Die and youtube submissions, which are open-source websites that anyone can upload a video to, so having a video on them is no proof of notability. Transient mention in narrow-interest websites catering to the Iranian-American community or the clothing design industry are not sufficient to establish notability. I have been mentioned, even had articles I have written accepted for publication and printed in several trade magazines in my field, but I do not pretend to be notable for the purposes of Wikipedia notability. Remember that WP:NOTE says "notability is not temporary", and I would add that the potential to be notable in the future does not itself qualify as notability(WP:CRYSTAL). The acid test should be, if Golshan did nothing else with his life going forward besides what he has already done, would he be a significant enough figure to be included here in 10 years?Mmyers1976 (talk) 18:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In reference to mmyers statement that the other comedian pages are "these two subjects look like they are of questionable notability themselves". If those other 2 are "questionable" as well, then me should just go ahead and delete every person on Wikipedia who is not starring in the latest blockbuster feature film grossing over $100,000,000. The preceding statement about comparing Golshan Mmyers1976| is absurd. Golshan did not pay anything for the "Millionaire Matchmaker", they paid him^{[citation needed]}. Welcome to Hollywood. All reality ahows are scripted my friend. On a small side note, it was one of the highest rated hours ever for the television station that broadcast it. His name is constantly googled (you can look it up on Google Trends). In addition, he is working as a stand up comedian in his field and own several highly successful ventures outside of show business. 90% of the people on Wiki are not going to be remembered in 10 years if they did nothing else. Think about it and dont deny the many many people who want to read about David Golshan on Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesKennedy1965 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Kennedy, let's all please remember that Civility (WP:CIVIL) is one of the 5 pillars of Wikipedia, and as such, hyperbolic statements like "then me(sic) should just go ahead and delete every person on Wikipedia who is not starring in the latest blockbuster feature film grossing over $100,000,000," and statements with a sarcastic tone like "Welcome to Hollywood," and "All reality ahows are scripted my friend," are not necessary or constructive. Remember that we are all working on the same goal here, to improve the encyclopedia. From the tone of your comment, it sounds like you are getting a little emotionally invested in the article and this AfD, and it may be helpful to step back and take a breath and a break. Golshan not being considered notable at this time is not the end of the world, nor is it any reflection of his worth as a person (which is all I was saying when I compared him to myself). It also does not mean Golshan won't be notable in the future. Remember Viewpoint 1 of WP:NORUSH. There will be plenty of opportunity to develop an article for Golshan in the future if his career(s) develop to the point where he will be notable. But right now just being a comedian or a successful small businessman (or both) doesn't qualify one for notability, and Google trends don't meet the requirement for "significant coverage" as discussed in WP:NOTE. As you are new to editing Wikipedia and may not fully understand the standards for notability yet, I really recommend you read WP:NOTE, and I hope it will give you a better understanding of where those of us who are voting Delete are coming from. It's nothing personal to Golshan or to you or anyone else who is supportive of his article.Mmyers1976 (talk) 15:45, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although the IFA Premiership League is the highest level in Northern Ireland, the criterion is still going to be whether the team itself is "fully professional". The football/soccer project people have interpreted WP:ATHLETE under [Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability], as including players who "Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. This must be supported by evidence from a reliable source on a club by club basis for teams playing in leagues that are not recognised as being fully professional." I don't know whether Crusaders FC is fully professional, or one of many semi-pro teams in a semi-pro league. Mandsford (talk) 17:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The notability guide for athletes is woeful! People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis, except for those that participated only in competitions that are themselves non-notable. It simply isn't very clear what it's on about. As there is no professional league in Northern Ireland (from what you say above) then he is effectively non-league and is at the highest level of football in Northern Ireland. If he goes then every single player who has played only in non-league football will have to go (unless they are noted for something else) which isn't viable.

Tanzanians in the United Kingdom[edit]

Article only contains population figure, which is covered at Foreign-born population of the United Kingdom, and a statement about ethnicity referenced by a broken link.

Speedy keep We want more coverage of ref'd articles on organizations in 3rd World places. The fact that this afd is based on original research, ie an extremely rudimentary Google in English search merely confirms that this should be speedily closed as keep. If we have no English refs Thai refs are great, remember we are producing an encyclopedia in English not one about about the English speaking world. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 15:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assume good faith please. It's a legitimate nomination, and any suggestion that this is motivated by a bias against non-English speaking nations is unwarranted. I probably disagree with LibStar more than I agree with him, but he's no less open-minded than you or I. Thanks. Mandsford (talk) 19:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Umm I certainly wasn't implying bad faith on LibStar's part, just poor judgment and I have explained why I think his judgment is wrong, especially the inherent original research involved in googling. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs20:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can read the Thai language, you possess an ability that most English speakers do not. However, that's no reason to criticize a person for limiting his search to languages with which he is familiar. I confess that I don't even know the Thai alphabet, let alone the language. If presented with the statement "ცნობილი ადამიანები – მუჰამედ ალი, ჯ.გრიფიტი, რობერტ უორენი" I couldn't begin to pronounce it. In that you can do more than the "rudimentary Google in English search", I hope that you'll use that knowledge to add sources to the article. Mandsford (talk) 00:08, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I cant read Thai; here we are talking about principles; I would never base a decision to afd solely on a google search on google.com; I might for instance do site specific searches for possible sites such as Thailand media in English or other prominent sites covering Thailand in English before afding. LibStar does many afd calls which is fine but in this case I think it was a bad call. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 00:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would have nominated this if it had a well sourced article in Thai. LibStar (talk) 01:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given the strong consensus emerging to keep the article even without a good Thai ref your comment seems unreasonable; you should perhaps re-assess how you choose which articles to afd as refs in any language are perfectly acceptable; the fact that only a tiny minority understand something is no different for foreign languages than it is for many scientific concepts; our purpose is to educate and verifiability does not mean every 12 yr old kid has to understand something or it is removed. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs01:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the original article was barely referenced and my own searches did not find anything. the first keep vote was based on WP:GOOGLEHITS and the 2nd keep vote did not add references.

While the article has a significant amount of sources, the article is unnecessary, as she has a Discography which lists charted songs, and songs which have never charted are listed on the albums appropriate articles. Gabe19 (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The artist is extremely well known, has tons of songs released (all of which are referenced) and all are divided into the right sections and categories. The discography obviously doesn't cover this material so an extra page is needed. If something is not referenced correctly than either delete or find a better reference. If artists like Rihanna & Britney Spears get a "List of ... Songs" page than why wouldn't this artist? Theuhohreo (talk) 13:36, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete Hey, hey, hey, I think someone is making a huge mistake here! You can not create an article or fight for it using as an excuse other articles of sb or something else. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Every case is different, and you can't use as an argument "why does he/she have an article about..." Besides, you do not create articles just because an artist that you obviously don't like have something that "your" artist doesn't have. You are the same user who create the page, so I am guessing that you created it based on List of Rihanna songs and List of Britney Spears songs . Your argument need to be reasons why keep it, without involve something else. Fortunato luigi (talk) 01:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I'm didn't create the page because of other artists, I'm saying that if this "List of... songs" can be merged with the discography (which is stupid to even think about, because it shouldn't...) than whats stopping it from happening with all of artists "List of... songs" for example, the artists i listed above. Discography is for charting songs/singles and this pages is for listing every song an artists has done (soundtrack, singles, album tracks, leaked songs etc...) and provide trivia for songs (like the sampled material section in the page). It can not be any more clearer that the two pages should not be merged... Theuhohreo (talk) 01:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree. If you're going to merge this page to the artist's discography than you'll have to for all the other ones too. List of songs pages are needed for popular artists!!! 68.160.198.159 (talk) 15:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- I wasn't aware that both of those artists had those pages, both of those should be deleted too. It just makes absolutely no sense to me to have pages like this. Yes, she is a popular singer today, I'll admit that, but to have a an article such as this is unnecessary. Gabe19 (talk) Gabe19 (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The discography does give information on songs that have charted, but this page is completely different from that so why merge??? This page is information on songs officially/unofficially released by Beyoncé which is needed because of so many albums, singles, soundtracks, etc... released! 68.160.198.159 (talk) 15:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- "Completely Different?" Not "Completely", In some ways is is but it still lists all songs that were released, and charted, that's what the discography is for. Gabe19 (talk) Gabe19 (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't see any reason to merge, as a matter of principle, discographies and lists of songs into a larger article, particularly in the case of a bestselling artist. Some of don't really want to click on "the album's appropriate articles" until we find what we're looking for, hence it's not uncommon to separate a list of songs from a discography. Technically, a discography would be about the "discs" that are sold as albums and singles. I know that the argument can be made that a description of the album could be expanded to list all of the songs on the album, but it's often the case that a song appears on more than one album. Discography is the business side, list of songs is the art side, the article about the artist is the news side. That's the way it's been done, and there's nor reason to change it. Mandsford (talk) 17:57, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- Not only do discographies list released and charted songs, albums, and the like, many list everything that this article contains, making it an unnecessary article to begin with. Her Discography contains song that have charted, collaborations that she has partaken in, soundtrack songs she has partaken in, all which are included is this article. The songs which which are listed under the unreleased section of the article, and read "I Am... Sasha Fierce outtake/B'Day outtake/Dangerously In Love outtake" could easily be included in those albums articles. Songs that have no article to themselves, or weren't on any album could easily be put in her discography. Songs with sampled material are already included in the appropriate albums articles, and The live songs could be included on the appropriate tours' article, making this entire article very unnecessary. Gabe19 (talk) Gabe19 (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree- Their is really no reason to merge both these articles into one page. It would either overload the discography page or overload the artists albums pages with "unreleased song".

~~Delete~~ Why is this article important? The songs listed here are songs that are listed on the albums article or the movies articles. This is a really unnecessary article cuz all those songs appear on other articles, and the "new ones" are outtakes or commercial songs or things like those, which, by the way, ar pure trivia, making it unnecessary. Furthermore, the references have links to download them on a illegal way, we should be avoiding that kind of things. Fortunato luigi (talk) 00:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep- Artist is popular with obviously a ton of songs.

- Comment-Absolutely none of this material is covered in the discography. YES the discography does list songs that have charted as singles (and other charted songs) and soundtrack singles, but the list of songs page isn't for charted songs its for all songs in general released by the artist.

  - Comment- "Absolutely none of this material is covered in the discography."- Really? NONE of this is in her discography? Released songs, Collaborations, Soundtrack Songs are all in her discography, Sampled material and Unofficially released songs are on the appropriate albums articles, Live songs are on the appropriate tours articles, leaving only the Unreleased songs, Leaked demos/working titles, TV commercials songs, and Recorded material left, half of which don't even have references so it's questionable if it's valid material, therfore making this article very unnecessary. Those four sections I mentioned can easily be added to her discography. Gabe19 Gabe19 (talk) 01:10, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment- The only thing covered in the discography is Charted songs! THATS IT! and thats really all the discography really needs to cover. The discography only has charted soundtrack singles not the songs that haven't charted which are included on this page. The leaked/unofficially released songs aren't even listed on the albums. And everything including TV commercials can easily be referenced. I really can not imagine why merging the two articles would even cross anyones mind... Theuhohreo (talk) 01:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment- Not always, many contain songs that have never charted. The leaked/unofficially released songs that were recorded for the appropriate albums should be listed on those albums pages. If everything else can be "easily referenced", reference it. Also, many of the references that the article contains are from blogs, which aren't considered Relaible Sources, making this article unnecessary. Gabe19 (talk) 03:04, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment- But if they contain songs that never charted than that kinda goes against the whole concept of a discography, doesn't it? All the T.V. commercials are referenced now and what if some of the leaked songs were just released during a recording session and not as a leftover from an album? Than were do those go? Their are some cases were the two pages should be merged but it just makes more sense and makes it all easier to keep it the way it is now... 68.160.200.128 (talk) 14:32, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment- Just because the T.V. Commercials are referenced now doesn't mean the entire article should be kept. Besides the T.V. Commercial songs are already posted on her Videography, making this article unnecessary. Leftover songs from a particular album should be posted on that album's article.Gabe19 (talk) 04:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- I can not believe this is actually up for discussion. The page organizes every song released by the artist, not only singles (like the discography) but all songs ever released by the artist. The discography definitely does not do that! Only charted songs. Stop being stupid and wasting everyones time and leave the page as is....... 74.72.160.180 (talk) 03:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- "Stop being stupid and wasting everyones time", Gee, that's a great way to close out a comment isn't it? And all songs that have been released by this particular artist are already here on Wikipedia, posted on the album's articles.Gabe19 (talk) 04:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- I'm getting kid of tired reading the same comments, and posting the same responses to the posts here. So here is a more complex Post:

All of the "released songs" posted here are already posted on her albums articles, Dangerously in Love, B'Day, and I Am... Sasha Fierce.

Half of the "Unofficially released songs" don't have references, and the ones that do should be on the album's article that it was recorded for.

Collaborations that have been done should be in the Beyonce Knowles Template, as that is how other artists Templates are.

None of the Soundtrack Songs have references, and some are already listed in her Discography.

All of the "TV commercials songs" are already posted in her Videography, just transfer the references to that page.

Only two The nine Cover versions have references, The "Proud to be an American" reference is a picture (is that even a reference?), and the "Fever" song should be in her Template, under "Other songs", as that is the case with other artists templates.

"Sampled Material", once agin, is already on the appropriate albums' articles, and None of the "Live songs" have references, but should be posted on her Concert Tours Page, as they were performed for her tours.

After all of this, there is nothing left in this article, making it an unnecessary article.Gabe19 (talk) 04:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- I'm kinda hoping this settles it cause this Article for deletion page is getting quite ridiculous... I'm just gonna respond in the order u gave above^

Yes that's true that all officially released songs are on the album pages of the artist.

The 'Unofficially Released Songs' are all legit, but you're right, should be referenced and I can get on that. But the main thing about these songs is that they are just from recording sessions. Some of them are unknown from which album they are from, and I honestly have no idea who put the "(leftover from "Blah blah" album)". So we can't really add the songs to the album pages if they're not left over from an album. And I thought we couldn't compare what we do with this artist as what happens with other artist pages, because I got bitched at for that earlier -_-

Only collaborations that have charted are listed on the discography, unless they're put under "Other album appearances" which could be deleted to clean-up the discography page and left here as-is.

I figured the soundtrack songs didn't have to be referenced since they're from an official album (like the track-listing from artists album pages) but if needed it can easily be obtained... And again only charted soundtrack songs are on the discography.

The videography is for video releases and that part of the page is for the songs used in commercials. Not every commercial done by the artist has a separate song so only if it does it's covered here.

Covered songs can easily be referenced.

If the "Live Cover Versions" don't need referencing on the tour pages than why do we need them here??? Also listing the sampled songs here can clean-up the album pages (as some albums like I Am... Sasha Fierce & B'Day are already over-loaded).

I say "can easily be referenced" because if you already have it set in your mind that you want to delete this page than what would be the point to go and reference them... This pages "takes a load off" (for lack of a better phrases) of other pages that already cover so much and would list this page under the "See Also" articles. I know her popularity isn't up for discussion here, but I'm going to say this anyway in general about all artists with "List of... songs" pages. If an artist is well known, popular and has been around for quite some time than they are going to accumulate a lot of songs. That's were pages like this come in handy again. Even songs written by the artist can be covered here instead of creating a "Beyoncé Knowles writing discography" page... Theuhohreo (talk) 22:05, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment- "this Article for deletion page is getting quite ridiculous..." I don't think so...

"Yes that's true that all officially released songs are on the album pages of the artist."- ok, than that information listed on this page is redundant.

If the 'Unofficially Released Songs' can be referenced, reference them if this page is kept. and when you created this page, 7 of the songs you listed said "(certain album) outtake", meaning you you put that information there; and I never said we couldn't compare other artist pages with each other.

Collaborations that charted/didn't chart should be placed in her Template, that's how other artists Templates are, making that info posted here, redundant.

Soundtrack Songs should be in her Template as well, under 'Soundtrack Albums', albums that contain any song she has partaken in.

Her Videography is for everything pertaining to film, from movies to music videos and commercials, including songs.

If covered songs can "easily be referenced", reference them, if this article is kept.

The Live Songs listed here is redundant information again, since it's listed on her Tours Page.

Sampled Songs should be listed on the albums articles anyways, even if their "overloaded", it pertains to the albums articles.

Any "List of... songs" pertaining to any artist should be deleted too, information on those pages is redundant, as it's already listed on another article.

Midori Gotō[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This barely referenced BLP has very little information regarding whether or not the subject is notable for inclusion on Wikipedia per WP:N or WP:MUSIC. There are various awards and a single mention in the New York Times, but beyond that I cannot find anything about the subject that shows that the woman is notable for inclusion on Wikipedia, at least what is in the article currently.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:38, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it seems she is some sort of peace envoy and is mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Barenboim, Michael Douglas, George Cloony, and Yo-Yo Ma, News24 USA Today. She is also a respected violinist NY Times. CNN describe both aspects of her career here: Midori Goto: From prodigy to peace ambassador. Article obviously needs some work --Jubilee♫clipman 12:11, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Update - I have worked a little on the article to provide references and to update the information. The naming as a UN Ambassador for Peace was not even mentioned in the article before I added the information. Will work on the article some more soon to tidy it up and provide more refs from the many I have found on Google.

Speedy Close Unless an entry in a real encyclopedia is not enough to qualify for an entry in an encyclopedia purporting to cover "the sum of human knowledge". Surely the nominator checks Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians before making nominations on music subjects? Look under "M" for "Midori".

"(b Osaka, 25 Oct 1971). Japanese violinist. At four she began violin lessons with her mother, Setsu Goto. In 1980 she was given a scholarship to study with Dorothy Delay at the Aspen Music School in the USA. Two years later she entered Delay's class at the Juilliard School in New York, where she also worked with Pinchas Zukerman. In 1982 she made her début with the New York PO under Zubin Mehta; she then toured Asia with the orchestra. The following year she played Paganini's Caprices before President Reagan on a televised Christmas show. After continuing her studies at the Professional Children's School in New York, she graduated in 1990 and began her international career. In 1993 she performed the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto at the Proms in London. In 1994 she won the Suntory Award in Japan. Midori's repertory includes all the major concertos, many of which she has recorded; but her tone as heard in the concert hall is small and it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that she is a creation of the compact disc age. Her interpretations are sound but rather bland. She plays the 1722 ‘Jupiter’ Stradivari and the 1735 ‘Ex-David’ Guarneri del Gesù."

Really, this AfD takes the cake as the most inappropriate I've seen this year, at the very least. Dekkappai (talk) 22:39, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ryu Goto[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Two years ago this article was kept at AFD. Since then, there has really been no progress in the page other than intermittent updates of the subject's discography. This page has been unreferenced for over two years, with one reference being his website and the other being a news article announcing a performance of his. I do not see this qualifying for WP:MUSIC or our general notability guidelines. In addition, most of the page was a copyvio off of his official website (and is repeatedly being added back by a user). The most notability he has is by being the brother of Midori, but her notability is questionable and I have put her page up for AFD.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was the article prior to my blanking of all copyrighted and paraphrased content.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No references, not even on his discography. Violates the policy on notability. Unless there is a previous version to revert to, I'm sticking with delete from now on. Minima c (talk) 05:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I can always understand the concerns of legitimacy and detail for any Wikipedia entry, I do believe that in this case, the person putting up both Ryu Goto and Midori Goto's pages for AfD completely wrong is both counts, and frankly is abusing the ability of people to edit Wikipedia entries. A quick search of the web seems to confirm he has a pattern of just this sort of abuse, with little or no real justification. As to the level of notability of either Ryu Goto or Midori Goto, this is not subject to debate. Both Ryu Goto and Midori Goto are among the top classical violinists of their respective generations, with numerous CDs, DVDs, endorsements and major concerts and tours to their credit, not to mention a large, growing following of fans. Arbitrary AfDs by people with an agenda beyond good editing of Wikipedia articles are to the detriment of the general public, and to the detriment of those of us attempting to ensure the honest, true and legitimate posting of basic biographies of known public figures.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Disconic (talk • contribs) Whatever you read about me on these other websites that you talk about is not true.

The fact that their pages have remained on this project for so long is an oversight on our part.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply] Ryulong, you're simply wrong, and I think you should consider carefully your choice of words as you don't speak for all of Wikipedia.

~~Weak Delete~~ - I have tried for the past half hour to source this article and find myself frustrated by paywalls, article abtracts that don't quite get to the part where he is mentioned, and numerous other obstacles. Does that prove he is non-notable? Hard to say. For now, all I can offer is an abstract from an article in The Spectator in 2000 [10] and an article from Taiwan Times [11]. Whether thay are enough to establish notability is hard to say. It compicates matters that he present version of the article is copyvio, also. On balance, because of the strict policy regarding BLPs, this artilce probably ought to be deleted. It can always be recreated in a few years time when he gains far wider international recognition --Jubilee♫clipman 11:38, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Reconsidering~~ - sources added by other editors have started to verify the facts stated in the article and some of those facts do seem to suggest some notability, viz: "He has played internationally with the London Symphony, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Shanghai Philharmonic, and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C." However, many non-notable performers perform with famous orchestras at some point in their career, so we need more yet, IMO. BTW, the fact that his sister is world-renowned is irrelevent: WP:NOTINHERITED --Jubilee♫clipman 16:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Strong Keep - article now sourced enough to satify WP:SIGCOV, WP:MUSIC, and almost any other notability standard you care to throw at it. Hats off to Nuujinn who not only sourced the article but also massively expanded it in the process of rewriting it entirely --Jubilee ♫clipman 00:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone here - what the issue is from my perspective is not whether there is notability established at this point, but whether it could be - and I quote the notability guidelines: "Although articles should demonstrate the notability of their topics, and articles on topics that do not meet this criterion are generally deleted, it is important to consider not only whether notability is established by the article, but whether it readily could be. Remember that all Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article can be notable if such sources exist even if they have not been added at present." Though editors subsequent to Ryulong have posted their findings, I do not believe their search of articles and sitings were extensive enough to warrant a notability challenge. For example - a search of "Ryu Goto violin press" on Google brings back more than 2,370 entries, the vast majority of which are press, so I'm at a loss as to why others here can only find two references in the press. In any case, as this article was not a final draft, and was in the midst of revisions, I believe it was premature to flag for deletion. Moreover, the fact of that matter is, unless evidence is provided to the contrary, that none of the editors above could be considered experts in the realm of classical music, which, by default, should disqualify said editors from having any final decision as to the notability of the subject matter or the subject. Certainly, the need for more references, sources, fixing copyvio are all valid points in terms of edits needed, and these changes will be made to this article. That said, there has been little proof that any of the editors suggesting deletion could be considered experts on classical music, and as a result are unqualified to judge the notability of any classical artist.12:44, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Disconic (talk • contribs)

Eusebeus is heavily involved in many CM projects and is highly respected by those projects. I never said I could not find articles: I said that I was unable to find articles that I could actually read. And my vote was only "weak". Provide 3 or 4 independent reliable sources from the 2,370 you mentioned and we might get somewhere. Cheers --Jubilee♫clipman 13:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It isn't two thousand sources: It's two hundred[12] -- if you're looking for this person's name ("Ryu Goto") instead of any page containing two other people, one named "Ryu ___" and the other named "___ Goto", and if you bother to click through to the end, instead of assuming that the notoriously inaccurate estimate is right.

~~Delete~~Keep. PeterSymonds says it well. AfD is a simple equation really: if there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources, the article should be deleted.

  - All help is welcome! The sweep I made was to find news sources and I only added enough prose to act as a framework for that. In particular, I think more coverage on critical reception of his work is needed, and that falls well outside my area of expertise. Also, more biographical data would help.

Keep The article meets WP:MUSIC (criteria 1, 4, 5). I do not understand the arguments given above where it's stated that the article was "unreferenced" or that there were no references given. This was blatantly false. At the time this article was nominated for AfD, there were two references. Neither were probably enough to establish notability as per Wikipedia guidelines, but both gave indications of his stature in the classical music world, and should have been clues that other sources are out there (I mean, how many folks are there with the credentials of undertaking worldwide soloist tours with major orchestras and are signed to Deutsche Grammaphon?). And lo and behold, a few minutes of research gave up http://news.google.com/archivesearch?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22ryu+goto%22&cf=all, which includes reviews from the Washington Post, LA Times, among other major newspapers (someone with LexisNexis/ProQuest access will probably have to add those) as well as http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=982743&lang=eng_news from Taiwan's version of the AP, which speaks to his fame in Japan. This is clearly a case where this article deserves improvement, rather than the hammer of AfD. I would hope that in the future, the nominator spend a little more time doing research before bringing articles to AfD. TwilligToves (talk) 05:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In all fairness, I haven't found many reviews, most of the articles that mention him are also announcing that he will play, and don't describe how he played--we need more of that. And when the article was nominated, there was only one valid reference, the other was to his own web site. The nominator did wikipedia a service by bringing a neglected article to our attention, so we should continue bringing the article up to a better level. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:37, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an unsourced article about how generous companies will be to a person trying to rip them off. Some of this is probably true, but when making statements like "Most phone companies have a policy" or "They will generally get a refund or replacement" there needs to be more to it than having heard about someone else's personal experience. If kept, the how-to-steal guide needs to mention that trying any of these is a good way of calling attention to oneself, and that repeat customers are likely to face prosecution.

It is satire. Rather than delete it, merge it into the iPad page as an example of pre-release jitters. The massive nature of the shipment means that UPS tracking doesn't work like normal and people are getting anxious. This information belongs as witness to a part of the cultural phenomenon of major product releases. This is a new one though, but one we're likely to see again in the future. It is right along with people waiting outside a store all night. Instead of waiting outside a store, people are waiting at their computers and sharing community via a chat room.

Speedy Delete what's the hangup? kgrr ^talk 01:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't think there is much dispute, I would ask that when this article is deleted that the administrator also give consideration to removing the content from Karen's user page, as it's being used for blatant self-promotion, also (which after a review of the policy, also appears to be a violation). Chicken Wing (talk) 02:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "hangup" is that the article was tagged for speedy deletion, but SD was declined by an admin (a decision with which I disagree), so protocol dictates that the article then go to a formal AfD, as we have here. The upside is that if the article is deleted through AfD, it cannot then be recreated by the original author (or anyone else) without deletion review, which is very difficult. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Turner (civil servant)[edit]

The list of Turner's positions as a former senior civil servant makes his notability more than obvious.

Delete As Jezhotwells rightly points out, notability arises from the extent of coverage in reliable sources, not from a person's civil service position. In any case, we have no way of knowing how senior this guy actually was, "Operations Research" could be a massive division or a small unit. I'm not seeing the significant coverage in reliable sources here, so unless that changes over the course of this listing, the article ought to be deleted. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been deleted twice as copyright violation and is mainly the work of WP:SPAs. It makes some assertion of notability but the sources are all linked with the subject.

Delete. IMDb lists McCusker's credits as "miscellaneous crew", which is hardly compelling. I have an admitted bias against articles that appear to have been created or significantly influenced by conflict of interest users or single purpose accounts, but I still don't see enough here to merit keeping the article. Chicken Wing (talk) 21:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(a) Notability is established by reliable sources, not by what IMDb lists him as. (b) I have rewritten the article and removed all promotional language. Look at the sources and go by policy; not IMDb or your biases. American Eagle (talk) 23:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This only inclines me even further not to keep the article. First, I don't think most people being reasonable would think I based my decision solely on IMDb's listing. I merely stated one of many factors. I, along with most people, don't typically write out every single reason why an article should be deleted. Secondly, everyone has biases. I stated mine. I tried to reach a conclusion in spite of my bias, and you have acted as if I deliberately reached a conclusion in furtherance of bias, which is not correct interpretation of what I wrote. Chicken Wing (talk) 00:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But you have still not listed any credible reasons for why this article should be deleted. Silver seren^C 00:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has four references, none of which singularly or collectively represent significant independent coverage. The introduction says he has written numerous books, plays, and musicals, but it appears that none of those are notable. Of the two notable productions he's tied to, the source for one of them (Radioworld) is an article in which he is mentioned one time, with about half of one sentence being dedicated to his achievements. He appears to be a minor player in creating some Christian-themed media. That's about it. Chicken Wing (talk) 02:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here, too: Verifiability is not the problem (I'll leave it at a pointer at google books), almost all material in the article is verifiable and uncontentious. WP:N is the problem, which is why I suggested a merge.
A proper merge target here is probably ban (law). I note that Kick (chat room jargon) is a soft redirect to wiktionary these days, that is the very least that we should have here, too, it's a likely and valid search term. Amalthea 11:52, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I do accept that this specific design pattern is significantly different to the general event-driven programming. The description of the pattern at [18] to me sounds almost identical to the Observer pattern, just with the word service added. (A minor gripe is that why they didn't just call it the observer pattern for services, after all the rational for patterns was to create a common language). A possible solution might be to redirect to Observer pattern and add a note to that article then when applied to services it is called EDM. But there do seem to be issues with service availability which are not present in the observer pattern. So there does seem to be enough unique content to justify an article. There do seem to be enough references in the litrature, there is an main SOA book, and website, an InformIT article, a mention in an article in SOA Magazine.--Salix (talk): 18:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MyLOL[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Social networking site for teenagers. In the AfD discussion in 2008 the site was found to be notable because it was covered in multiple reliable sources; all those sources were newspaper articles about security concerns, since the site had been used by adults who sought contact with teenagers. Today, there is only one English-language RS to be found; I have made a good-faith search for other sources but found nothing else. That means that the only good source for the article is an article from 2008 about the website's security practices, which to me seems as if the site is notable for one event only, rather than generally notable. Note also that a user with a user name indicating that they are involved with the site (mylol.net is owned by the company Jiggie, Inc. as seen here) has been making promotional edits to the article, adding unsourced and unencyclopedic information. When that is removed, pretty much all that remains is the two-year-old news report on possible security problems, and I don't think that's enough for WP:WEB. bonadea contributions talk 11:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced BLP, can't find any significant coverage for this voice actor bar listings etc. PROD removed. Black Kite 21:36, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand and source, as searches reveal what the nominator missed. Apparently this actor/voice artist is known for works outside of Squidbillies and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Despite your claim, I did that search myself, and I still don't see any significant coverage there. Yes, he's had a few voice parts, but I'd expect to see more than there is if he is actually notable. (Those few news reports are all from local press, as well).Black Kite 22:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sources linked by MichaelQSchmidt do not, in my view, amount to significant coverage as required by WP:GNG. There just isn't enough here to support a properly verified reliable article. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No offense intended to the article's subject, but keeping this article would appear to interpret the notability guidelines for actors far too broadly. Chicken Wing (talk) 21:30, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

there seems to be no possible way that this will ever be a notable topic, with third party reliable sources, worthy of its own article on wikipedia. Theserialcomma (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Existence of the concept is undisputed (1 2 3 4) so verifiability is not the issue, but notability is. In this case, and with the disclaimer that I know nothing about IRC, even a mention in our encyclopedic article on IRC seems undue. Amalthea 11:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per tag on page. Might be able to sustain itself with in the requested merge article, if not, we can delete it. Buggie111 (talk) 00:36, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and/or redirect to appropriate target. Concept is real, but not enough material to sustain a seperate article. The information is better served in a larger, omnibus article on IRC. --Jayron32 04:38, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A trivial thing. It occurs but so what. Lots of trivial things occur in this world. Szzuk (talk) 19:42, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
