The result was delete. In addition to GNG issues, there's a copyvio issue in an article consisting entirely of detailed plot summary (ref Wikipedia:Plot-only description of fictional works). Merged intro into List of As the World Turns characters. Dcoetzee 13:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This article's topic does not meet WP:GNG. No sources independent primarily of the subject and of relations to As the World Turns have been found, news articles and books alike. No other reliable sources or significant coverages of this character have been found. Also, it lacks real-world context and consists of only plots, which is against WP:PLOT. The fact that this character appeared between Nov 2009 and Feb 2010 makes him either a recurred character or a short-lived lead character. Articles that mentioned its portrayer lacks substantial information about this fictional character. Previous, it was PRODded. George Ho (talk) 01:27, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A advert for Brand Velocity made with original research combined with false and misleading references. Article was created by people (with SPAs) from Brand Velocity as one of multiple spammy articles around their company. Article contains many references but many are primary sources, articles written by the CEO Bergstrand (eg 7, 8, 15, 16, 17 and probably 18). Others do not verify the statement they follow (eg 2 (2nd time), 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17 and probably 18). A blatant example of the misrepresentation is the claim that a book they published was reviewed in CIO magazine is supported by two articles by the author of the book, Bergstrand, that are not reviews of the book and merely mention in the byline of one that Bergstrand wrote the book. The third reference that supports the claim is to a CIO magazine "What We're Reading," article, other "What We're Reading," articles found on the magazines websit do not contain reviews of the books they mention. Article lacks independent coverage of Brand Velocity and due to this and the spammy and misleading nature of the article it should be deleted.

Just to keep things in perspective, as someone who actually does this for a living, no one in our field would immediately thing of John Reinisch (or anyone else for that matter) when using a polyethylene implant for microtia repair. It's just not a particularly notable procedure, and outside Bert Brent no one is really well known for it. Furthermore the 1st attribution of microtia with this I can find in texts is actually to other surgeons, Wellisz T.

The result was no consensus for an administrative deletion, which is AfD's scope. Several of both the keep and delete arguments are actually arguments for something else (moves, merges, userfication, etc.), but there is no consensus at this point on what form that should take. That's an editorial decision, and this close should not be considered an end to that discussion, but rather encouragement that it continue from this point. I would remind editors involved in that discussion to remain civil, to remember that the community at large, not any given WikiProject, determines both policy at large and its implementation in specific, and to talk to one another rather than past one another. Continuous repetition doesn't help anything move forward. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of sports trivia. There's nothing encyclopedic about incomplete future schedules.

Yes, future games are often scheduled as part of a series, but that doesn't change the fact that they are "future." It also doesn't change the fact that suggestions to split this article are ultimately unwieldy and unfriendly to Wikipedia readers. Wrad (talk) 00:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
More on convention. My proposal would follow an established convention. I propose "SCHOOL MASCOT football (upcoming seasons)" Observe:
It's just as legitimate a convention as any other.
So here's re-clarification of the proposal. For schools that can provide independent sources for such articles, we allow articles with the naming convention "SCHOOL MASCOT football (upcoming seasons)." This article takes on the (general pattern of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football (1990–1999) or Baylor Bears football (1980–1989). Once an individual season gets enough source material to merit its own article, it is split off into a new article and all information on that season is removed from the "(upcoming seasons)" article. No duplication, no unverifiable information, no naming-convention breaking. Everyone goes home happy. Wrad (talk) 22:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree. It would be far more inefficient (not to mention a violation of Wikipedia policy) to split this article into half a dozen tiny little articles, as Bagumba has proposed. I'm getting a little tired, as I'm sure many of the people involved here are, of people demanding that we all ignore Wikipedia policy so they can get what they want.

The BLP starts by telling us Tuccille is best known for a column on Examiner.com. Since Examiner.com is a blacklisted site because of a lack of reliability, that's not a good start. Notability is barely even asserted. The claim is that Tuccille writes for Examiner, has a (non-notable) blog, has been quoted a few times by notable outlets and was a guest once on a notable show. What is lacking is any significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Would fall under WP:CREATIVE and can't see him passing that either.

I don't believe she meets the notability criteria established at WP:MANOTE or WP:GNG. The sources are all routine sports results reporting. I don't think winning a Small States of Europe championship (open to 8 countries with populations under 1 million) in a field of 5 establishes notability. Population wise, that's less than being a New York city champion and I certainly don't think that proves notability. I also don't think finishing tied for 7th place at the European Judo championships (where she got 2 byes and won 1 bout out of 3) is enough for notability.

Interestingly, it appears that the person who wrote that encyclopaedia article for Oxford, Ronald G. Musto, is the same rgmusto (talk · contribs) who wrote this encyclopaedia article. It's saddening to see the different receptions that subject experts get from the professional editors of Oxford University Press and from the editors at Wikipedia. When an article is written to the scholarly standard that one finds in subject-specific encyclopaedias, people, you don't reach for AFD. You try to make the other articles better, to bring Wikipedia up to the standards of other encyclopaedias, and you help the experts to follow our house style.

I've read some more of the article, and it's looking like it has a big problem with NPOV. It seems to assume that the ideas of the Christian religion are true. Here's an example from the section Catholic_peace_traditions#Martyrs,
Notice the phrase, "witness to the fact". What follows may be a fact for Christians, but not necessarily for others. This article seems to be written for, and from the point of view of Christians. --Bob K31416 (talk) 17:44, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Much of the argument to keep is based on the number of sources and not the quality of those sources. The idea that any entity that can be considered a reliable source is therefore automatically notable seems dubious at best. While this organization's products are discussed and their staff is sometimes quoted in reliable sources, it seems there is a scarcity of substantive discussion about the organization itself, which is of course what is required to establish notability.

(help)"Tracking customers through loyalty program account numbers offers companies an additional advantage. “If you don’t have a lot of information on your target audience and you need to get it, then you want to try to encourage people to enroll in as large a number as possible,” says Rick Ferguson, editorial director at Colloquy, a loyalty marketing firm. Once a company has more data, it can tailor the program further and aim at the most profitable customers with special offers. That’s what Starbucks will try to do now. Sales at stores open more than a year are actually falling, which has never happened to the chain before. The company blames the economy in part, and worries about consumers trading down from Frappuccinos to black coffee or simply caffeinating at home."

(help)"A research company that tracks loyalty programs found that membership in credit card reward programs surpassed membership in frequent-flier programs for the first time in 2009. According to Colloquy, the company that conducted the research, the average household in the United States is signed up for 14 loyalty programs, ranging from grocery stores and gas stations to airlines and hotels, but actively participates in only six. The recession has diminished participation in multiple travel programs, said Kelly Hlavinka, a partner at Colloquy. She said this could bring about a return to the original premise of loyalty rewards: to cement a relationship with just one airline or hotel. “Savvy travelers may be saying, ‘I may not be able to spread my business out to two or three airlines, but I can consolidate my travel with one company,’ ” Ms. Hlavinka said. “The real opportunity for airlines is to try to keep that business with their airline.”"

(help)"If someone gave you $600, would you throw $200 away? That's essentially what many consumers do since Americans earn approximately $48 billion in rewards points and miles each year through customer loyalty programs, yet about one-third of that amount -- or $16 billion -- goes unredeemed each year, according to a study by loyalty marketing information company Colloquy and global commerce firm Swift Exchange. Included in that total are unused credit card rewards, says Jim Sullivan, a partner with Colloquy. When such rewards go unredeemed, "the average household is throwing money out the window," Sullivan says."

The Demographics of Atlanta article contains almost no additional information versus the Demographics section of the main Atlanta page (Atlanta#Demographics). The sole exception is a list of population by year over time, but this is just turning the historic population table into prose - which has no added value - and there are a few random facts about points in time when the city limits were increased. I would be glad to have a separate article on Demographics of Atlanta if there were any value added in it. However, its current existence as merely a "mirror" of what is in Atlanta#Demographics just makes those two pages out of sync and creates false expectations for users who might navigate to the Demographics article that there might be more information here. Keizers (talk) 13:36, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's been a while since I've participated in AfD, so forgive me if I'm hazy on AfD criteria.
I notice that some cities have daughter articles entitled "Demographics of (cityname)". Perhaps it's appropriate for Atlanta to have one as well. The bulky tables and demographic details can be shunted off to the Demo article (see, for example, Demographics of New York City. As Mmann suggests, the article can grow over time. The main article on Atlanta would include just a brief encapsulation of ATL demographics. I'd suggest leaving "black mecca" in the summary within the Atlanta article as I suspect that it's an important topic and will merit its own article (Atlanta and African-American Culture or something like that?)
I'm hoping that the two involved editors can come to an amicable meeting of the minds. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 04:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
