List of very light jet operators[edit]

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

At the time this list was created, it may have been useful, but with an explosion of very light jet types )and the industry frantically trying to disassociate itself from the term following the Eclipse Aviation fiasco), this has the potential to become a ridiculously large list. Do individuals count as 'VLJ operators'? And isn't this pretty much the same thing as List of airliner operators would be? A list of, say, air taxi companies would be useful, as would lists of commercial operators by type (although that last might have notability issues). This, however, is an indiscriminate list.

Delete; list is unmaintainable unless there is another source out there which maintains a database and doesn't mind us copy & pasting it (which I doubt). Already, if we're lucky, news of fleet changes/orders would be reflected in the operator's article and maybe the vendor/type article. I'm not optimistic that anybody wishing to update wikipedia to match some source would go find a third page too. Would a category be better? bobrayner (talk) 15:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Christian remedial education org. in Georgia. Source appears to fail WP:ORG#Primary criteria. The Interior (Talk) 23:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this is a high school level program, and all high schools are notable. I added a 3rd party source. DGG ( talk ) 00:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well, if all high schools are automatically notable, so be it, although this is a pretty borderline "high school". It's basically a treatment center for 18 months maximum, where the teen-agers get high school lessons while they're there. It's accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, not under "Schools" (either public or private) but under "Educational Agencies with Special Purposes". And really, someone needs to take an axe to the puffery in this article. It's a pretty blatant advertisement and most unencyclopedic. Actually, someone tried and was soon reverted by an anonymous IP [1]. Voceditenore (talk) 00:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been notified to WikiProject Schools. Voceditenore (talk) 00:42, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I should have more precisely worded it as that all high schools are treated as notable to avoid discussing thousands of them and keeping almost all of them. A high school for troubled students is a school for special purposes, but no less a high school for that. DGG ( talk ) 01:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the "special purposes", I'm querying. It's that the Georgia Accrediting Commission calls it an "Educational Agency" and does not list it under schools. Voceditenore (talk) 01:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - The school claims that in addition to its short programs it offers year around schooling,; even offers the ACT and SAT. Even if it is not accredited in the normal sense, it seems to still be something of a legit school, even if it is not the traditional type. LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If there is a concern about the article being in violation of WP:NPOV because of WP:COI, that should be addressed separately. LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree that neither COI nor NPOV issues are relevant to a subject's notability. I was mentioning it parenthetically. I've rescued several truly dreadful COI articles (far worse than this one) from AfD. However, I'm still not convinced that every single establishment that offers high school courses of some type (including commercial "crammer schools", "wilderness therapy schools", etc.) should be treated as de facto notable. So I'm remaining neutral here. Voceditenore (talk) 16:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely no attack on you was meant ... the COI stuff is a genuine pain in the butt because it makes it difficult to determine if there is genuine notability or if it is someone gushing over the place. For the record, I agree with you. I would have likely recommended delete, if there hadn't been a year round component that seems to be somewhat regular boarding school. I fully agree that short term schools, treatment centers, etc are not necessarily notable. LonelyBeacon (talk) 18:42, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly urge you to make your argument based on the notability criteria. Accusing people, without strong evidence of religious bigotry is not appreciated around here.

Delete The tradition here is that high schools are notable, and I support that tradition. But this is not a high school. It is a treatment facility, taking in "troubled teens" for maximum of one year [2]. It does not seem to offer diplomas (that seems to me to be a key requirement for a high school) and the state school accreditation site lists it as "ungraded".[3] If it doesn't fulfill the requirements for an "automatic keep" - and I believe it doesn't - then it has to establish its notability under WP:GNG, and by that criterion it appears to be completely non-notable. The only sources found at Google and Google News are blogs (some promoting it, some slamming it), but no Reliable Sources at all. --MelanieN (talk) 05:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per MelanieN, this does not qualify as a high school (and therefore as an 'automatic keep'). It's accredited as an "educational agency" not a school, is ungraded and does not offer diplomas. The fact that it administers SAT and ACT tests is irrelevant. So do American consulates overseas. That doesn't make them high schools. Given that, it needs to pass WP:GNG or WP:ORG. At the moment it clearly fails to do this. One article in a local newspaper is not enough. Willing to change my mind, if more reliable, non-trivial, independent sources are found. But I've searched pretty exhaustively and have been unable to find any. Voceditenore (talk) 11:26, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't support the tradition, but even if I did I'd still say delete on the basis that this isn't a school. In any event, the tradition is subservient to accepted notability standards - GNG and CORP - and this school or whatever it is fails them all.--Mkativerata (talk) 00:07, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete I don't know whether the article is talking about the movie series (of which there are only two) or the TV movie series (which is unnumbered).

Delete per WP:NFF. This film hasn't been identified as starting principal photography yet, so it shouldn't have an article of its own at this time. When more information is announced, and the film has begun shooting, the article can be re-created at that time.

Delete. Although he supposedly received platinum album awards for his work on No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom and the Offspring's Smash, neither of our articles on those albums mentions him as working on those albums. Furthermore, this article claims his recording studio closed in 1992, but that was before either of those albums was recorded. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The article does not assert he won awards through his closed studio. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - At the very least, the article is confusing. "Jim Dotson produced many up and coming Orange County Bands including The Offspring (I'll Be Waiting/Blackball), No Doubt, Tabitha's Secret, Bill Ward (musician), Warren Fitzgerald and The Vandals. The studio closed it's doors in 1992 but the legendary bands and musicians that worked there live on." The implication is that he did his work for the Offspring and No Doubt, among others, before 1992, but that was before either band's big album was recorded. Maybe he was given platinum album awards for working with those bands earlier in their careers (i.e. not on Tragic Kingdom or Smash), or maybe the situation is something else that I haven't even thought of. But with no detail provided and no sources, I don't know how we can evaluate these claims. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:31, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 01:11, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment NOT a hoax, as this individual does exist,[4] and certain record company websites acknowledge his participation. If his awards can be sourced, he may squeeze in under WP:ANYBIO. But yes... commonality of name does add to difficulty. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. His getting a platinum record is the equivalent of the fitness coach getting a championship ring. He is a non-notable cog in a notable machine. Everyone who worked on the project received a record, but that doesn't mean that they are all notable.

Adam Josephs[edit]

non notable as per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS CET^TALK 20:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The Article has been translated from another edition, which contains more Informations about the reaction of the internet community which makes the issue interessting. The arrest of Courtney Winkels is not so interessting, but the case has caused a hughe series of discussions in the internet, including a lawsuit and many Media Reports about the case and the Discussion itself. The bad thing about the article is, that he doesn't mention these things. The article has been created by a bad translator or a normal translation programme, however, it's been in a terrible state.

In brief, the problem is that the article does only mention the arrest, but not the turmoil it caused and which makes the issue relevant. The few things, which are mentioned in this article do really look like simple news, but the issue goes beyoud that.

CharlieEchoTange has claimed, that this article was written as a hate page. This is completely wrong. The german version of this article has been written by at least three senior editors, there have never been any attempts to publish threats or something like this. As already mentioned, this article is a bad translation. The german Edition inculdes more Informations, especially those about the things which make the subject relevant. I can supply them if they are needed. --Liberaler Humanist (talk) 21:07, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment:Nothing said about threats, only "attack page" meaning consistent POV and negative bias. CSD was declined. As for "news", I don't think it is a notable event, although some media outlets published the story, it is carried out and amplified mostly by groups with strong political objectives, hence the current lawsuit. I also think that WP should be very careful with this BLP as a lawsuit is carried out specifically targetting internet coverage of this "event". CET^TALK 21:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have also written this in the articles discussion, but the article itself seems to look as if was making Josephs look bad because of its bad quality. The article does only mention the arrest, but there has been a major media response to this issue also in non-english media which makes the issue relevant, allong with the response of the internet community. As you seem to fear the terrible censorship of the lawyers guild: Josephs has filled lawsuits against persons who harassed him or made him look like a fool with some animations. The article is bad, but its not bad in this way, so I do not see any problems. I have seen persons who wanted to take wikimedia to court (due to the laws in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, the project can not be taken to court, just the editor) and these cases were really differnt. In brief we are on the safe side if we do use references. --Liberaler Humanist (talk) 21:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, clearly fits WP:BLP1E: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." NW (Talk) 21:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have to state again, that this is a failure of the article, but not the issue. The article is in fact really bad. --Liberaler Humanist (talk) 21:34, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E, which is not a failure of the article: however you write the article, this man is famous only because of this single incident. Also delete per WP:NOTNEWS: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events." This is a trivial incident of no long-term importance. In so far as coverage is continuing, it is because it is being pumped up for partisan purposes. JohnCD (talk) 21:48, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to avoid any missunderstandings: I did not commit that terrible translation. And compared to the materials I found its somehow really bad, as it does not state why Jospehs should be relevant. It does not cover the discussion about the incident, which has been coverd by media all over the world (I just googled ist). The main problem is the bad quality, so the article would need a major review. Writing the thing again or somewhere else would not be more work, so this article could be deleted, as I have collected some material about the thing I could look after it for example in the articel about the G20-Summits as User:CharlieDeltaEcho suggested. --Liberaler Humanist (talk) 22:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This single incident that this person is known for is not a notable event. If you look at the 2010 G-20 Toronto summit protests wikipedia page, it wasn't considered notable enough within the larger protest to be mentioned. Even a few months after this protest, there doesn't seem to be any longterm historical context for this video (other than getting a number of hits on YouTube).DivaNtrainin (talk) 22:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just because some internet yahoos are making this constable a whipping boy for the events of the G20 summit protests does not make him WP material.

Delete I totally agree with MickMacNee and Sven that this doesn't belong here, and I can't forsee any way that this would have historic significance. Further breaking news edits can go to Wikinews here [5] (and it looks like the article's author has made at least one contribution to the edit).

Delete no sign of notability, tragic but just another helicopter accident. MilborneOne (talk) 11:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The level of notability used for air accidents seems to be a bit random. All of these have third-party media coverage, but I can't see a clear pattern for that does and doesn't fail WP:NOTNEWS. I don't want to go down the route of WP:OTHERSTUFF, but would it beneficial to have a proper discussion of how much coverage we expect for an air accident to be considered notable? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The policies are described in WP:EVENT ("An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope.") and WP:NOTNEWS ("Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion.") When it comes to recent events, obviously, one has to go by their own assessment of whether it's likely that an event will be receiving coverage that persists over a period of time, or whether it's likely that it will have "enduring notability". People tend to go by their own experience with other events when it comes to making that assessment of likelihood. There has to be a balance between the two extremes, one of which would be to not allow any event to get an article until after a waiting period, or keeping all articles on the chance, no matter how unrealistic, that it will stand the test of time. There is a tendency for people to want to be the very first to write an article about the most recent "breaking news" that they pick up on their television, which is described in WP:RECENT. I think this is one of those cases. I'll be happy to consider any argument as to why this event would be historically significant. Mandsford 23:31, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Freshmeat is not a reliable source, it's just a venue for distributing software, please see WP:RS for policy as to what kind of sources count. Many web sites mirror wikipedia content, and since wikipedia is not itself considered a reliable source, web sites that mirror wikipedia content are also considered unreliable. The kind of source that is ideal is a in depth review of the software in a magazine or newspaper, or a book with significant coverage.

Delete More than anything, this reminds me of one of those racks of little license plates in a gift shop, and the disappointment in finding that there isn't a plate for your name. Basically, this is a long list of Wikipedia articles about given names, and a potentially endless list of names that don't have a Wikipedia article. Although lists and categories can co-exist, I don't see anything that this list provides, other than a caution against naming a little girl "Aadu" or "Aarne" because those are boys' names. There's potentially no end to the red-links-- Abbondanza ♀, Abbondanzio ♂, Abbondio ♂ are a perfect example of how one can vary a particular name -- I suppose one could look on this list to see whether there's an article about the given name "Abbondanza", but more likely they can type it into the search box, A-b-b-o-n-d-... and hey! my name isn't on here.

Comment. The nominator is wrong on all accounts. Magioladitis stated the cat is better sorted than this page, but that's not true since the page gives the genders and is alphabetically ordered. Magioladitis stated that this page is "full of unreferenced, unverifiable entries", but the cat is exactly the same. I checked the first 10 "names" in the cat, only 1 has a reference for a name; actually these pages were mostly mini disambig pages that just happen to list a few names and other things. The fact is that this page is no worse than the cat, and it has a slight advantage because it's neat and easy to get what your looking for on one page. I can't argue the WP:NOTDIRECTORY point, or the fact this list has the potential to be "practically endless", or that it is really just a maze of redlinks ATM. I think a copy of this page ought to be retained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, because it could be helpful to editors since the redlinks easily show which names have no presence at all on Wikipedia.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 13:16, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At least the category contains only names whch are reasonably guaranteed to exist. This list omits hundreds of names which do exist, and contains hundreds of redlinks to "names" which one has no reason to believe in.

Move — This is an important page for quality assurance (completeness) in the context of the WikiProject Anthroponymy. I agree that it does not fit with the article inclusion or list inclusion criteria for Wikipedia for the main space. I would, therefore, advocate its being moved out of the main space. On the matter of Wiktionary, an appendix already exists for this at wikt:Appendix:Names; therefore, I am removing the migrate to Wiktionary template on the page. We do need a good synchronization method between the two, which currently doesn't exist. Why would the Wiktionary page not be sufficient? Because a listing in the Wikitionary list does not provide any completeness information for Wikipedia, which is (in my opinion) the primary reason for retaining the list in a non-main namespace. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 11:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Categories and lists are complementary, and there is no reason not to have both. If there is a category, there should be a list. I don;t know what counts as superfluous, but a list duplicating a category is just an alternate way of presenting things, and every bit as useful--and useful is a valid criterion for navigational devices. .

Strong Keep Sufficient sources given in current article to meet WP:BIO. This is in no small part because, I feel, nominator has missed the importance of the subject. The subject was, in addition to being a corporate scientist, a pioneering civil rights activist and educator.

  - Comment I would respectfully disagree. University libraries are research institutions, and not particularly beholden to their alumni in any significant way.

Keep The WP:EPISODE part cited above refers to episode and season (British series) articles, not episode lists. The C.I.D.

As I said, the section you cite refers to episode articles and season articles (British: series articles). This is a list, not an article.

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 14:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would have thought that being a BLP of a minor should be grounds for delete and salt unless a fully sourced & BLP policy compliant draft was checked by an admin. How long does this charade have to go on for. As the deletion templates were constantly being ignored, removed etc, and technically the BLPPROD could have still been applied, I instead chose this route to get more "certainty" in the outcome, but instead of ten days, it's now lasted 14, with the chance of 21.The-Pope (talk) 23:56, 23 October 2010 (UTC) (Not sure why my edit cut out half way through... but as the bare minimum referencing has been added, I guess it's all moot now)[reply]

Surgical Incisions[edit]

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

Creator admits on talkpage that this mostly empty list could only be filled via WP:OR. The intro reads like an essay. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 13:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both you and the creator were wrong, then. You really should have checked the statement for yourself. I found Agnew's, Bergmann's, Fergusson's, Mackenrodt's, and Warren's incisions in ISBN 9782294701672. I stopped after those. A good overall introduction to the topic of surgical incisions was relatively easy to find by just looking in the introductory chapters of a textbook of surgery, and finding ISBN 9781405126274 pp. 31. A textbook on general surgical principles yielded a typology of abdominal incisions, complete with diagram, at ISBN 9780781750035 pp. 229.
Turning from the textbooks to the encyclopaedias, I find that ISBN 9780813826028 has articles on the internal Bevel incision, the extrasulcular incision, and the Crestal incision; ISBN 9780787677237 has an article on the subject of incision care (pp. 743 et seq.); and ISBN 9780816062850 has articles on the anchor incision, the various incision placement guidelines that there are, W-plasty, Y-plasty, and Z-plasty, a redirect for the h-flap incision, and the doughnut incision and short scar incision (a.k.a. lollipop incision) as sections under breast reduction.

It's a verified part of Weekly Shōnen Jump, the largest comic book anthology distributed in Japan and origin of such notables as the Dragon Ball franchise, the One Piece franchise, and the Death Note franchise.

    - Oh, I see, just realised there's a Notability section under the MoS. Thanks, that clears things up.--hkr Laozi speak 12:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would definitely oppose redirecting to the manga magazine. Weekly Shōnen Jump serializes hundreds of manga each year, most of which are never successful and generally forgotten.

Aren't those mainly one-shots though? They usually only release 8-10 actual series per year. Redirects are very useful to the user, especially if it's relevent like the nominated entry, and it's better than having a user see a redlink, recreate a page, and having that page go through the entire deletion process all over again.

Redirect to Weekly Shōnen Jump per WP:BEFORE. Very new series, not yet notable.

Duck Head[edit]

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

Appears to fail the WP:ORG and WP:PRODUCT guidelines. Though the brand may have been around since 1865 and can probably document its history of being bought and sold as a brand, there seems little evidence of significant impact. Searching Google News shows no relevant matches and general searching only shows press-release related material that does not provide adequate evidence of significant impact. The article has been around since 2008 and flagged for improvement for 18 months with no signs of sources being found to address the issue (previously reliant on answers.com as a source). I note that a previous edit comment refers to the brand as "ancient" and there may be an argument that current American brand names of over 140 years old should be considered automatically notable regardless of sources, though I would not consider that the case for brand names of, say, British origin. Raising for wider discussion for these reasons. Fæ (talk) 07:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, taking a look through the Google News search, I'm able to find quite a few references from various stages of the company's development, including its bankruptcy and some lawsuits it was involved in. It looks to me like there are sufficient sources to sustain the article, even if they're not properly used now. (Should note that I disagree with the idea that anything or anyone can be "automatically" notable, something is notable or not solely based upon amount of source coverage, not age. Here, the sources just happen to exist.) Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a slight clarification to be made here, the company has not been in business for 140+ years, it is only the brand name that can make this claim and the meaning of the brand has also changed over time as it is being used to sell quite different products from those it originally started out with. I think it is safe to assume that even the brand logo has been significantly adapted in that time. Fæ (talk) 08:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I'm not sure that press coverage due to bankruptcies and legal troubles alone, when they're mere mentions, makes a company notable, but given the longevity of this one, I'm willing to lean towards keep. Shadowjams (talk) 08:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- As per the nomination the age criteria may be worth pursuing as a notability exception. In comparison the American brand/manufacturer Towle Silversmiths has been in continuous operation for 320 years, over twice as long, see List of oldest companies. Fæ (talk) 09:03, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm happy that this brand is sufficiently widely recognised (albeit only just) and it's certainly old enough.

Fæ's suggestion is interesting, of automatic assumption of notability for really old brands. I'd suggest "150 years and still extant" as a round number. For things post-Great Exhibition, I don't even think there's much difference between UK & US relative ages. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:07, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a tricky area I'm afraid and would take more discussion than would be sensible for an AfD. I can easily find London-based brand names of, say, solicitors (e.g. Monro Fisher Wasbrough LLC), market traders and estate agents (e.g. Watts & Morgan) that can lay claim to being a brand/company/trading name of over 150 years. Automatic notability would be hotly disputed for some of these (and especially for those than might have gone out of business but have records spanning such a period). Fæ (talk) 11:23, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This brand seems to have fallen on hard times during the Web era (meaning fewer sources than might be desirable), but even in the 1980s was ubiquitous in the southern U.S.; it seems the introduction of Dockers by Levi Strauss was the first blow for their stodgy product line, and the purchase by Goody's, which at the time was expanding rapidly but was soon facing financial disaster, did further damage to the brand. However, it's still a very old brand with regional significance. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 11:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not only do WP:ILIKEIT, but it passes the WP:GNG -- with flying colors. I found (and added to the article references) a long newspaper article (from the business page of the Richmond Times-Dispatch) about the brand, including the large amounts of money that were paid for the brand in some of the transactions that occurred in the last decade. --Orlady (talk) 15:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for that source. Initially I was thinking the brand purchase might be a reason to merge under the parent company name, however the statement "merchandise sales exceeded $97 million in 2004" stuck out (other figures related to forecasts and so were rather less significant). I would find it hard to believe that there are no reliable sources from that period that could not support significant impact with these trading levels, had that fact been in the article I would have been inclined to mark for citation improvements rather than going to AFD. Fæ (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of characters in the Final Destination series[edit]

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

I originally prodded this,but apparently it had been prodded before, which resulted in an automatic decline. Since I added the prod tag, the article has degraded even further. This is nothing more than an elaborate and extensive plot summary of the films (almost exclusively the first in the series). There is no real world significance indicated and the sources go to IMDB, cast lists, random movie pages, and the film itself (essentially, nothing of substance). 13² 05:49, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as nominator - Also, the photos and their captions don't help, as they are essentially promotional in nature, talking about what other roles the actors have played and what the actors starred in. Overall, to me, this really feels more like a glorified fanpage than an encyclopedia article. --13² 05:53, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created the page and just added what happened to each character but that was it. I never explained the plot etc. People then decided to erase everything I put and start up their own summaries. It was too late for me to change everything back when I returned from vacation, so I just gave up on it. Though, I agree it's nothing more but the plot being summarized. After the page was moved to "List of characters and deaths in the Final Destination series", I decided I'd had enough. So I support the deletion of the article. It's just a plain, big-old mess now.

Strong Keep. As the nom has indicated, the article is very crufty and in need of clean up, which I fully agree with. But be that as it may, I think the article can easily be trimmed down up to guideline standards. As per the precedent of having thousands of "list of fictional character" entries, these lists are perfectly fine, especially for large franchises like the Final Destination series.--hkr Laozi speak 06:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- List are fine. Extensive and redundant plot summaries are not. Your "List of fictional characters" is a category, not an article. Just because other articles exist, doesn't mean this one should. -13² 06:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not to mention that every article on Wikipedia has to pass WP:N, whether or not you like it or whether or not other similar articles exist. As of now, this article does not currently pass WP:N, which is ultimately what decides whether an article stays or goes. ~--13² 06:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - That was the point, the other articles establish a precedent. Character lists entries are a perfectly notable subject that does pass notability guidelines under WP:FICT.. Your main point, that the article needs to be cleaned up is a perfectly valid one, just not for deletion. As per WP:DEL, clean up is not considered an important criteria for deletion: "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion".--hkr Laozi speak 06:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - That other articles exist does establish a precedent: WP:WAX. --13² 06:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - To quote WP:LSC: A list is warranted if it is about a notable subject, and "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert. The same rationale that allows the existence of "List of minor characters in Dilbert" should allow the existence of this entry. WP:LSC is an approved part of the Manual of Style and WP:DEL is official policy, while WP:WAX is an essay.--hkr Laozi speak 06:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - And WP:WAX includes a caveat that specifically discusses this issue, that invalidates your point. "If someone were, as part of their reasoning for keep, to say that every other main character in Star Wars has an article, this may well be a valid point. In this manner, using [the] angle provides for consistency."--hkr Laozi speak 06:42, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Again, just because other articles exist, doesn't mean this one should. How are the characters (excluding their extensive summaries) notable? As of yet, nothing establishes notability per WP:N. Period. You can argue until you're blue in the face, but until you're offering reliable sources, nothing else really matters. --13² 06:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Reread the caveat. And I've repeatedly quoted all the relevant policies that establishes the notability of the article, all of which you've yet to address. To quote from the same essay: "In the Wiki model, an article which may currently be poorly written, poorly formatted, lack sufficient sources, or not be a comprehensive overview of the subject, can be improved and rewritten to fix its current flaws. That such an article is lacking in certain areas is a relatively minor problem, and such articles can still be of benefit to Wikipedia. In other words, the remedy for such an article is cleanup, not deletion." Your argument is that it is poorly written, and because so it violates the criteria of WP:N. My response is that it cearly doesn't, and that the appropriate response is clean-up, as per policy and consensus, and not deletion.--hkr Laozi speak 06:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- My argument is not, simply, that it is poorly written. To suggest as much means you haven't read a single thing I've said. "...all of which you've yet to address." And yet you have not made one single remark as to why the characters pass WP:N except for caveats, which, in all honesty, really just don't hold up (seriously Luke Skywalker is on a whole other plane than Tod Wagner). Either they do or they do not pass WP:N. Pick one. The fact that you are still clinging to the idea that the article is useful doesn't help, just to let you know. --13² 07:00, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - As evidence so far, you've yet to quote any criteria in WP:N which this article specifically violates, so I've assumed your argument is your nomination rationale (if it's not, you should clarify): "the article has degraded even further. This is nothing more than an elaborate and extensive plot summary of the films". These are points which can easily be fixed by a very quick cleanup. Again, "the remedy for such an article is cleanup, not deletion."--hkr Laozi speak 07:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - The caveat does hold up within in context. Obviously, Tod Wagner is not as notable as Luke Skywalker (I've never suggested he was), but Tod Wager is not being nominated for deletion, List of characters and deaths in the Final Destination series is. And List of characters and deaths in the Final Destination series is as perfectly as notable as any similar article, like List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of minor characters in the Matrix series.--hkr Laozi speak 07:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, it does not. I'm nominating all of the characters, not a single, specific one. The article must satisfy WP:N to be included, whether or not you agree with or like the subject matter. Again, whether or not other articles exist has absolutely no bearing on this one so stop trying to pull them in. In regard to notability, how about we start with the very first line of general notability requirements, eh? "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." In other words, this article doesn't not satisfy it because all sources are either unreliable or the film itself. I have no objection if the article stays if those sources are found, but, right now, they don't exist. The fact that a less than two week old account knows and argues this much about Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and little-known pages is unnerving (or not). --13² 07:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - This is the problem here, you're misreading the guidelines: I'm nominating all of the characters. No, you're not. You're nominating a list of minor characters. The list is under scrutiny, not each individual character. If this was true, any list would fail your interpretation of WP:N. The point of lists, as according to WP:LSC, is to have an entry for characters that wouldn't otherwise have a separate entry according to notability guidelines. The subject must be notable, not each character. To judge each character independently for notability is highly problematic, and goes contrary to established consensus.--hkr Laozi speak 07:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Please explain the difference between "list of" and "list of". Either I'm nominating them all or I'm not. Frankly, I'm nominating them all. If some specific character is particularly notable, then that character should have its own article, not be smushed in with the other, non-notable characters. Also, the issue of your extremely new account is still an issue, which you have not addressed. --13² 07:54, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        This AfD is especially relevant, speaking as someone who's recently created a list article and had to read through WP:LSC to get it up to DYK standards (I'm crossing my fingers that it'll pass through). Your argument for deletion is contrary to what I've read. I'm just directly quoting the guideline here: A list is created when Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria.' These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of paracetamol brand names. What needs to be judged is the notability of the subject, and not that of the individual listed items.--hkr Laozi speak 08:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Please do not resort to an irrelevant issue here, I've cited the relevant policies. And to clarify: By "extremely", you're referring to the fact that my account is over a week old. I began with writing/editing articles on Chinese ethnic groups and philosophy earlier this week, which required a great deal of research and looking up/reading all the notability and layout guidelines, especially since the subjects I dealt with are obscure and possibly prone to deletion. I've had some experience editing as an anonymous IP, but I've recently been reading up on a lot of policy and Manual of Style tips to get articles up on the front page. I dabbled with AfD early on after seeing articles I was randomly viewing nominated, but after being acquainted with the Wikipedia community (and some very helpful users giving me some great advice), in the past few days I've moved toward seriously helping the community with deletion discussions. We've all got to start somewhere, right? That doesn't change the fact that my arguments still stand, so please don't bite me. :) --hkr Laozi speak 08:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  - I've added more sources, including the New York Times, New York Post, and Variety reviewing each performance, along with a critical reception section for each relevant performance. As of now, the article is probably better cited than most of the "List of fictional characters" entries. What the nom has been implying is a policy change for the inclusion of "list of fictional character" entries, which is a discussion that belongs on the talk page of WP:LIST and not on AfD.

Hello everybody. I am FDJoshua22, and I am new to discussions about deleting articles or lists such as this one. I am taking responsible for making those edits in the list, and I am terribly sorry for making the list a horrid example of Wikipedia. I am very disappointed of myself right now for doing such, since I have used the list as an advantage for making self-contributions to Wikipedia. I promise that if the list is either kept or deleted, I would accept the consequences. -- -- FDJoshua22 11:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- However, as a devoted fan of the series, adding a character list would be relevant to articles related to the franchise. This is because the film's articles (Final Destination, Final Destination 2, Final Destination 3, The Final Destination) had encountered massive editing processes due largely to the characters and their respective deaths being added into these articles; moreover, it usually took a long period of time before these articles have been shortened into a wikified format. Thus, adding a character list is important, but adding a detailed bio in each character should be reconsidered (like what I've done). -- FDJoshua22 11:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The article just needs to be trimmed down and cleaned up. You've done nothing wrong, and your efforts to edit and expand the page have been highly appreciated. The deletion process is very simple to learn, and you'll quickly become accustomed to it, just read the guidelines at WP:DEL. From what I've seen so far from your contributions, you're already pretty adept at Wikipedia's Manual of Style (much more than me, as a newer editor!). It's just that the article contains a few trivial details that shouldn't be there. With those removed, and with more independent reliable sources added, the article should be kept. --hkr Laozi speak 11:17, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article is a mess. It may be worth considering whether or not the main characters are notable enough for their own individual articles. If they are, you could split them out from this article and make room for the supporting characters who are not notable enough for their own articles. Just a suggestion. I have no idea how notable these fictional characters are. See WP:FICT for notability guidelines. SnottyWong ^gossip 18:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: After reading the overall result of this discussion, I noticed that thirteen squared had made a remarkable point here. The characters of the series is not notable enough for a separate article, that I guarantee. However, one ordinary fan of the series will say that the series more or less revolves about these characters dying one by one in Rube Goldberg-style ways. In fact, the characters' creative deaths have been the main subject of attention of the Final Destination franchise. As a suggestion, I would say that instead of having a list of the characters, how about a list of these character's deaths? After all, death is the main element that describes the series. -- FDJoshua22 06:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Red Reachtagáin[edit]

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

Fails WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. Can't find a single mention online of a "Red Reachtagáin" or "The Schweitzer Institute Journal of Philosophy". The sole WP:Verifiable reference cited mentions a Ben Noakes, but no evidence that this is the same person. Article was prodded twice for this. This time a link to an essay on iseps.org.uk (Institute for socio-economic and political studies) was cited, and article was undeleted by an admin, but the domain is registered to a Ben Noakes. A few hours after I mentioned this at the talk page, article creator removed that cite. The real Schweitzer Institute sites online don't link back to that domain, and editor's only contributions so far have been to create these two articles and to bump isep.org.uk link up to top of EL list at Albert Schweitzer Institute.

Keep Eyes are a significant topic in cheesemaking. They're obviously not specific to one type of cheese. Nor are they merely part of cheese ripening - recent concerns have been expressed over a reduction in cheese eyes, seemingly caused by changes in behaviour before this ripening stage. This seems like a perfectly justifiable topic for its own article. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've mostly rewritten the article, adding references to a cheese science textbook. There is some overlap with topics such as Swiss cheese and Propionibacterium freudenreichii, but as holes also appear in other types of cheese and as a result of the activity of other bacteria, the topic doesn't fit only into those articles. A merge with Cheese ripening would be possible if we ever have that article. There is much more to cheese ripening than just holes. Sandstein 11:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no information about him on the Greenwood web site, other "JAMES L. ERWIN is an independent scholar." The subject meet none of the criteria at WP:AUTHOR. The number of copies of his books in circulation does not, I believe, count towards the author's notability, but if I am wrong please point me to the relevant policy. I don't think one could make a strong case for his book being notable, and I see no evidence that he himself meets our criteria for inclusion. --Nuujinn (talk) 10:56, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are clearly not enough sources for this page, per WP:GNG and other relevant guidelines. The blog recommendation on which DGG, Bearian and Aisha rely is all of three sentences and says nothing of Erwin. If all that can be said is that his book is in wide circulation (500 libraries isn't that wide) then lets have an article on the book if need be. But there is nowhere near enough here for a biography. Because there is absolutely nothing about Erwin.

Lewis's The Encyclopedia of Cults, Sects, and New Religions and Encyclopedia of Afterlife Beliefs and Phenomena. Also found mentions in Amber K's True Magick: A Beginner's Guide, Kerr Cuhulain's Full Contact Magick: A Book of Shadows for the Wiccan Warrior, M. Lamar Keene's The psychic Mafia New York (magazine)[14], as well as various other books by lesser known "spiritualists", etc. There is enough that I'm convinced that he is notable within his "field".

All these citations lack the requisite depth of coverage. ScottyBerg (talk) 20:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, folks, this isn't tough. It does not satisfy the GNG for the guy's name to be mentioned in a book. There must be significant coverage. These arguments are the 19th century version of "But there are lots of Google hits!" Ravenswing 20:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, if I were referring to just Google hits there would be plenty more. The fact that there are so many references in pre-Internet publications lends credence to his notability. It's all quackery to me, but he was obviously very influential among psychics and spiritualists. Robert Chaney devoted 12 pages (i.e. significant coverage) to Bias in a book about mediums: Mediums and the Development of Mediumship. His life was also the basis for two works of fiction: [15] [16]. Another reference refers to his "international fame" drawing packed houses: [17]. WP:BIO/WP:BASIC states: "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." We've got substantial coverage in the Chaney book and tons of other references that are sufficient to establish notability. Location (talk) 22:18, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Bias (and many others) get plenty of passing mentions in 'occult encyclopedia' type books, but it appears he isn't prominent enough to have been the subject of a biography or other work singularly dedicated to him. Also, Bias's life was not "used as a basis" in the two fictional novels (one published by Lul.com) cited, he merely appears as a character peripheral to the main protagonists. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is only necessary that there be substantial coverage. it is not correct that there needs to be a work "singularly" or specifically devoted to him--such proposals have been made from time to time, and always rejected--there are even a few Wikipedians who would like to restrict the encyclopedia to those subjects about which a full book has been written. That would of course give a very much abridged encyclopedia, and we could all have gone on to other things many years ago ` DGG ( talk ) 03:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to R.E.M. (most specifically, to the Accelerate section) per Armbrust's comment. It is true that stuff such as "band shelves material, album morphs into new project, album tapes are destroyed" has happened to people before, and details are still not enough for an article (specially if it has such an uncertain given date like "Spring, 2011", pretty remniscient of what's happening with The Strokes' fourth studio album). However, I think that this info (title and slated release date) can be included in the band's page, documenting the current state of the band (which, according to the page, is going through the mixing process of the album, and this seems as useful complementary information for it), and considering the relative notability of the band and the coverage that the announcement of the new album's had may be enough reasons to leave this as a redirect. --186.87.18.30 (talk) 07:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- It goes back to the NES days of the mid-80s at least. Batman and Ninja Gaiden both had main characters with wall-crawling abilities. Castlevania III had a playable character who could crawl both walls and ceilings. When the Super Nintendo came out circa 1991, scaling and rotating graphics were one of the main selling points, and were used (some might say overused) extensively, leading to games like Super Castlevania IV and Super Ghouls & Ghosts, both of which had sections where the environment rotated and the floor became the ceiling and so on. So the basic concept goes back at least a couple of decades, but that doesn't necessarily mean this game is any more or less notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:40, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There is no clear-cut consensus between deletion and merging. I am closing this as a non-consensus, but without prejudice against a renomination at AfD - however, I would suggest that it might be useful to have a week or so discussion on this matter at WikiProject Baseball to see what the project thinks before any such re-nomination occurs -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 20:59, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My inclination is to delete but I'd be interested to know if there is an official policy or guideline about 40-man rosters or if that was just an opinion in some previous AFD. Ma^t_chups 18:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's been spelled out explicitly, but we've had the standard of creating an article for every player on a 40 man roster (all the people you see listed on Template:New York Yankees roster and all the other teams). If we're determining that these individuals are notable enough for an article when they're on the 40 man, they should still be notable even after they're DFA'd. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I would not consider the 40-man roster to be inherently notable. He could fall off of it and end up never playing a major league game or passing notability standards. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So that means we should leave red links on those roster templates? You don't need to be promoted to MLB to be notable, and I think being added to a 40 man roster, a sign that the team sees something in you if they're using a limited resource on you, could easily be seen as a criteria for notability. --Muboshgu (talk) 03:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the players are listed on the minor league player articles, then the rosters will link to those and we won't have the red links. Spanneraol (talk) 13:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a possibility. I think this should be taken to WP:BASEBALL before a final decision on this AfD is made, since it will have implications for other similar players. --Muboshgu (talk) 19:03, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:ATHLETE implies that playing at the MLB level is enough to make you notable. Being drafted consists of "using a limited resource," so I don't see that as a useful criterion. I'd rather not go down the slippery slope. If that means red links on the roster templates, so be it. Ma^t_chups 11:15, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On second thought, I think this should just be merged with the team's minor league players page. Alex (talk) 21:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge It is not a 'slippery slope' to have information on Wikipedia about a player on the 40-man roster of an MLB team. This is per prior existing consensus from WP:BASEBALL. I suggest a merge to Toronto Blue Jays minor league players for now, with the option of having this as a standalone article if it can be expanded to five or more paragraphs and supported by multiple reliable secondary sources.

Not surprisingly, this article is currently almost completely empty. I've no objection to this article being re-created next year, but it seems a little premature to have an article on the history of a future time (other than relating to a series of novels or films, say). Until January 1st it's destined to be either empty or crystalballsery. Grutness...wha? 04:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why delete it, its not a big problem if the article stays. No-one will take the duty of creating it again in 2011. --Anirudh Emani (talk) 04:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the reasons I said - it's blank, and it invites people to make unfounded predictions. As to no-one will be bothered to re-create it, you'd be surprised. There are at least three wikiprojects which cover global weather, and it's part of an ongoing series (e.g., Global storm activity of 2009, Global storm activity of early 2010). I seriously doubt that there won't be someone itching to create this as soon as January rolls round. Grutness...wha? 05:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's way too early to create an article it specially when we don't know a single thing about it. As Grut said, this should be re-written next year otherwise it'll stay empty like a junkyard *no offense*. ♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 05:37, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The earth might be struck by a rogue planet and stripped of its atmosphere sometime in the next two months. (i.e. WP:Crystal ball) Steve Dufour (talk) 14:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lists of tropical cyclone names, which contains everything that can be said about 2011 for the next 2 months. There is the naming problem in that due to article size and prior history it should be "early 2011", and should presumably be later redirected to that name. (But even the series itself is poorly managed because both 2010 article time ranges do not match their leads.) Ordinarily I'd keep an empty fillable article just as an inclusionist, but unlike the AFD on 2026 reliable sources just don't comment about this; Googling "2011 storms" was surprisingly sterile. Delete is a backup vote because per the (scattershot) series we really don't need this exact title, but I generally prefer redirecting everything to something, even if it ignores WP:EGG.

~~Do Not Delete~~ You've got to be joking. All except the one that goes to the OCDB website (since he left them, thus no longer listed, and could be removed as a reference) have Eustis answering questions or giving statements -- there's things called "pages" in articles.

- If Eustis is mentioned only on the fourth or fifth page of a reference, then the reference should really use the URL for that page. Unfortunately, this doesn't really help the case for his notability, as it just confirms that these are all passing mentions of his name in articles on other subjects. —Tim Pierce (talk) 12:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT. This request is taking the wrong path. The proper path is to use the Template:Merge to and Template:Merge from templates, invite all those involved in both articles, and discuss the issue until consensus is reached. There's no need for a rush to judgement in any of these cases. (Note: One person requesting a Merge is not a consensus, see Ed Potosnak example.)That's why these Merge Templates exist, and that's why they're (normally) used when the issue involves (but not necessarily limited to) a claim that a person is notable only for one event. If consensus is reached, then an actual merge of material rather than a simple delete, or even a delete and redirect, is done. See Scott Harper for an example of this. See Ann Marie Buerkle for an example of the opposite, showing no history at all of what was in the previous article. That article was actually deleted, then a redirect was added after the fact. That's why it's wrong to do deletes in these cases, and that's been the consensus achieved in many, many AfD requests for various political candidates over the years. An example of a non-merge redirect is Lisa Johnston (AfD consensus here). That's simply wrong, as a nominee notable even for an event still has notable information - it's just a question of where it belongs. There is no evidence of any actual merge of material in her case, which makes the election article shockingly unbalanced (aka Undue Weight). There seems to be a lot of confusion on the definition of 'merge' in these discussions. It is not a synonym for a redirect. There are two steps, and both must be taken. Or, the article should be allowed to continue to exist, with 'improvement tags' added as needed. Flatterworld (talk) 15:34, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Posts in publically-editable forums are not WP:RS, and blog entries that list the names of bands playing at minor venues does not establish Notability. If that were the case, every high school or college band would qualify for a Wikipedia article. There needs to be third party articles ABOUT the article subject that are written by mainstream media outlets; having ones name appear in a list of bands playing at a venue like "Foosian Village Art Festival" does not make one notable. So far, both Peter Pepper and the band he is sometimes associated with, have failed to produce WP:RS in Google and other searches. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article, but perhaps Mr. Pepper needs to gain a bit more fame and notarity before having his own Wikipedia article. --nsaum75^{¡שיחת!‎} 00:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

National performances at concert venues with capacities over 1000 people such as House of Blues, the Masquerade and the like does establish Notability. Additionally, having completed one or more concert tours of a major world market also establishes Notability. And those tours being shared with other notable bands such as the Mindless Self Indulgence (held the #1 #2 and #5 positions, US Billboard Hot Singles Sales simultaneously), Combichrist (spent more than 6 weeks in the top 10 Hot Dance Billboard Charts) and others also establishes Notability.

Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Articles for deletion/Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary (2nd nomination)

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

This article is a collection of unreferenced esoteric data. In particular, it does not appear meet the Wikipedia guidelines for: 1) "Excessive listing of statistics" per WP:WWIN, 2) Verifiability (WP:V), 3) No Original Research (WP:NOR), and 4) WP N (in general). - Idunno271828 (Talk | contribs) 00:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP should be about articles to read, and other things (like lists etc.) supporting that. It's not for raw census data, by "not a directory." Or failing that some of the other policies cited above. Or by "WP:Don't waste your time writing an article you wouldn't want to read." Or by "WP:Readers are not stupid. You can not write an article without sources. If people want this information they can go to the same sources." -Steve Dufour (talk) 00:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~*Delete~~ as unsourced and unverifiable. I recognize that, in 2006, information about the 1910 census might have been unavailable on the internet and that the author might have relied upon an old book for the numbers and just forgot to mention things like the title and publisher, but that's a lot of "might haves". I'd change my mind if someone could locate a source. Mandsford 23:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article is sourced, to the Révai nagy lexikona, a major encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the author wrote "Sources: Révai Nagy Lexikona", though that's not much different than writing, "Somewhere in an edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica". I guess the guy wasn't into things like page numbers and such. Looks like Gregory B has found something as noted below. Mandsford 14:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's pretty obvious that the source of this material is the 1910 national census, which would have been the last before the breaking up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I. Thus the rather esoteric date DOES have a significance. Should a better sourcing note have been made? Of course. Is this enough of a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater? Not in my opinion. As we are well aware, nationality questions remain a burning topic in Europe and this strikes me as fully encyclopedia-worthy as topic and retention-worthy in terms of standing content. I'll put up a RESCUE banner in the hope that more definite sourcing materializes. Carrite (talk) 02:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carrite, I certainly agree with you about the nationality questions in Europe and a Wikipedia article on the demographics of Hungary is definitely important. But there already is a well-written article about the Demographics of Hungary that contains data, analyses, references, etc., and also addresses the evolution of the demographics of Hungary through a long period of history. Given the existence of this article, I feel that the AfD (the Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary) does not have as much value as it would have if the article on the Demographics of Hungary did not exist (regardless of it being simply a list of data). - Idunno271828 (Talk | contribs) 22:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's nothing particularly "esoteric" about the data. It took me literally two minutes to find a possible online source: http://mek.oszk.hu/06700/06758/pdf/. Provided this could be used, there's no reason to delete. GregorB (talk) 10:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent find. Each volume of the encyclopedia is imaged, and the search engine on the page will lead to what's inside a volume (for instance, type in "Abaúj-Torna" and it goes quickly to the article within Volume I). Google translate does have a function for Hungarian to English, so there's hope for someone to back the article up. Mandsford 15:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GregorB, thank you for posting the link to the scanned PDF copy of Révai nagy lexikona. I feel you took offense to my use of the word esoteric, and I would like to apologize for using it. I simply feel that the AfD is a list of data with no analysis. If the title of the article is something like "Census data for the Kingdom of Hungary (1720-1910)" I don't have a problem with it. This article, however, is titled as an "article" instead of a "list" and so it automatically gives the impression that it provides an exposition of the demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary with analysis based on the data. Also, there already is a good article on the Demographics of Hungary in the English Wikipedia.

Mandsford, you make good points about the search feature in PDF software combined with the use of Google Translate, but since plenty of references (citations) are needed for the various data in the article this would be truly a non-trivial task. I'm also not sure how we could comply with the policy on the use of non-English sources too (WP:NONENG), particularly "When quoting a source in a different language, provide both the original-language text and an English translation in the text or a footnote." Perhaps a better solution would be for this article to be transferred to the Hungarian version of Wikipedia, where the source material can be used directly? Just a thought, please do comment. - Idunno271828 (Talk | contribs) 22:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely no offense taken. "Esoteric" was perhaps simply not the most fortunate description. Two problems remain: the article's content does not correspond to its title (as duly noted by yourself - rename per Dream Focus below looks like a good idea), and it is effectively still unsourced. This is a big book and those are 100 Mb apiece PDFs, so just saying that it is "somewhere inside" is still not enough. I was hoping that Hungarian-speaking editors would be able to help. GregorB (talk) 23:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Trying to argue that the demographics of a large European country are not notable or verifiable is not going to work. I'll agree that the article currently is an excessive listing of statistics and needs major cleanup, but I don't think deletion is the answer here. The article just needs to emulate some of the better demographics articles, like Demographics of Switzerland. SnottyWong ^talk 13:52, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The opening line of WP:V: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." If someone's statement isn't verifiable, that's probably the main arguments in favor of getting rid of the statement, and it works every time. For all the numbers that got recited here, the article's author never seemed to take note of the "page number". Mandsford 21:22, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so get rid of the information that is not verifiable and replace it with information that is verifiable, which clearly exists. SnottyWong ^talk 15:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snottywong, there already does exist an article on the Demographics of Hungary just like the one on the Demographics of Switzerland. The article I proposed for deletion is a complilation of historical census data, which has already been analyzed and incorporated in that form in the article on the Demographics of Hungary. In addition, I believe your proposal to get rid of unverifiable information and replace it with verifiable information cannot be readily accomplished because there appears to be only one accessible source for this information: a Hungarian encyclopedia. Using that as a source would likely be easy in the Hungarian Wikipedia, but would require plenty of translations for the English Wikipedia, and this is going to be difficult per WP:NONENG. - Idunno271828 (Talk | contribs) 22:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NONENG only requires translations of direct quotations from sources, so is not an issue here. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This one has more information than the other one does. And its all based on the 1910 Census, plus is featured in a major printed encyclopedia. Call it the 1910 Census data for the Kingdom of Hungary if you wish. It is quite encyclopedic to list everything, instead of just eliminating valid information for the purpose of a shorter summarized version that makes up a small part of another article. Having year by year census data available for each country, would be quite useful for some who wish to access that information. WP:ALMANAC Dream Focus 23:09, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy Being able to prove any of this would be even more useful. I can't imagine two users more diverse than Snotty Wong and Dream Focus, but they seem to be in agreement on this. No offense intended, both persons stand up for what they believe in. However, I'm amazed at how many people seem to assume the accuracy of the figures in here. This really needs to be userfied if someone is going to attempt a rescue. For anyone who is going to attempt what User:Ocsi should have done when he or she cranked this out, it's going to take awhile. It's not impossible, but downloading even one of the volumes, and even at high speed, takes awhile, after which search can be done for the 1910 language census using various terms. Mandsford 13:04, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This sounds like something more suitable at Wikisource? There is no discussion about the statistics (nor should there be, probably) so other than a bit of fancy formatting, there isn't any particular encyclopedic content. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. (I will just comment on your comment without starting a new comment.) The article starts out: "This article is about the demographic development of the Kingdom of Hungary during a time period between 1715 and 1910." But all it contains is data for 1910, nothing about development.-Steve Dufour (talk) 18:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not expect coverage to be world-wide, and news coverage to many millions does not equate to being "local" to some few hundreds. Notable to Canada is plenty notable enough for en.Wikipedia. I am convinced through available sources that any concerns with the article are best addressed through regular editing.

Hi Mike,

I have just posted on your talk page. I am still editing this article and I hope that writing content that is currently only linked to in the external links, will demonstrate the notability of Mr Holmes

Thanks

Comment. I'm one of two admins who have been discussing this article with Bensomersethow (talk) (the other being Jimfbleak (talk)). I initially became involved after I declined a CSD request. I'm not yet convinced that the article's subject is notable enough for an article: it would seem to me that a stronger case could be made for the Edinburgh International Marketing Festival, which Thomas Ross Holmes founded. However, this festival is part of the Edinburgh Fringe rather than the main Festival, so maybe, maybe not. Thomas Ross Holmes also founded Creativebrief, which "connects buyers and sellers of marketing services". There's no article for Creativebrief, either, and I'm not convinced that they'd necessarily be notable enough for an article. Finally, the article's creator is an employee of the article's subject. I hadn't realised that until just now, but Jimfbleak clearly had. Ben, you do need to be aware of Wikipedia' conflict of interest policy. TFOWR 14:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,

Thanks for the further guidance. I mentioned upon my first contact with Jim that I was at creativebrief, and I hope this does not stand in the way of the article remaining published. I have edited the 'entrepreneur' section and hope that this helps assessing the notability of Mr Holmes.

Kind regards

Add a link to Invisible Detective on the disambiguation page Killing Time, then delete the original entry, since it's high dubious that anyone searching for the entry will type out the full "Killing Time (Justin Richards novel)" name.--hkr Laozi speak 05:54, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
merge into the article for the series. The book is not independently notable--in only about 200 libraries, a/c worldcat, which is trivial for a children's novel.Personally, I would like to revise our rules for fiction to indicate that the default way of handling series books like this is an article for the series, and anything more requires very strong proof of substantial notability. Our problem is that we talk as if we have only the two exclusive classes notable|nonnotable --actually, we can deal with somewhat finer distinctions by combination articles and inclusion on lists.

Clearly meets general notabliliy guidelines. He is a two time Patriot League first team receiver,a Sporting News third team FCS All-America, and was selected to the 2010 East-West Shrine Game (which has its own article). Both his senior season total of 14 receiving touchdowns and 28 career touchdowns rank second among Patriot League players.

Moreover, national wire reports of Colgate results generally include his name and statistics. He received a fair amount of attention as a potentially draftable FCS star. These reports increased greatly with his Shrine game selection and workouts preceding the NFL draft. There is a fairly extensive profile of his ability at http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1635212, along with many discussions of his draft status elsewhere. This does not include local or regional reports of his achievements, which are quite prevalent and detailed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.44.27.66 (talk) 16:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Getting invited to the East-West Shrine Game (considered second to the Senior Bowl) does not make him notable. CBS Sports has a draft profile on almost every senior in the nation, so this, too, does not make him notable. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
