Asia Without Borders[edit]

A recent music project written up by a pair of new accounts. The ugly set of naked URIs presented as references include links to YouTube and Wikipedia but do any of them demonstrate notability? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is structured to discuss the charity first, and then has a biography of each allegedly involved artist. All the references deal with claims made about the artist that have nothing to do with the subject of the article. I also note that this article seems to have been a recreation from “Asia without Borders”, a Canadian Musical Project, which was speedied yesterday as an A7 - ManicSpider (talk) 01:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete I think this article is really useful and should not be deleted. It consists of useful information about a unique Canadian multicultural music project. Moreover, in my opinion all the URLs references look okay to me and it is not a vast issue for article deletion. The whole article is consistent and unified,too.

Do Not Delete As I have said before this is a grand musical project starting for the first time in march 2011 for multicultural and ethnic communities in Canada. Artists have gathered from Iran, India, China, and Turkey to start this project. This project is only a start of a continuous mission and it seeks funding from the Canadian government in the near future. Please do not delete this page since it is needed for people to understand its essence and goal. The artists named and presented in this article are renowned artists among their communities in Iran, China, India, and Turkey. To the best of our knowledge, it is the very first time that chinese and Persian Music are attempted to be blended in a musical settings. Further to that, it is the first that while the famous melodies of Asia are being musically explored, an English Storytelling is being presented for the wider western audience to follow the ancient myths of Asia.The reason the charity comes first is because it is part of the whole idea of this project. It is intended to raise money for different charity organizations in the globe. In addition the artists make up the performance side of this project each year. Therefore they have a lot to do with this article.(Habibz7 (talk) 02:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)) — Habibz7 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

If it's only the start, you can add the article again once it has sufficient Reliable Sources to be considered Notable - see WP:RS and WP:GNG for what that means. At present, none of the sources there discuss the actual subject of the article. Wikipedia is not for "people to understand the essence and goal" of start-up projects. I understand the charity comes first - in fact, the charity should be all that is covered in the article, with links to the musicians articles (if they meet the notability guidelines for musicians). - ManicSpider (talk) 02:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete I personally believe this article is in accordance with the usual standard on this website. Sources were cited and the message is delivered clearly.

Do Not Delete Well, I find this page very informative. Author tries to state the purpose of this project_ They are raising money for Charity_ then He/She is giving information about performers in this event. Its fair enough. I disagree with deleting the document. (99.237.73.175 (talk) 04:12, 7 February 2011 (UTC))— 99.237.73.175 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Do Not Delete I understand that the project itself is a start-up, but most of the performers are quite notable and famous in their own community. The importance of this project (aside from being charity fund-raising) is that it is the very first time such collaboration of Iranian, Chinese, and Indian music is taking place. Also, by no means we want to use this page as promotional and advertisement material. As you can see there is no indication of actual concert date(s). The main goal is to keep this page solely as informative material, and no advertisement at all. --R m1364 (talk) 07:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC) — R m1364 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Non-notable award created last month. Though the talk page assures us there will be coverage on major sites in the future, it does not seem to exist at present.

Delete. Currently, any claim for notability for this award is oracular rather than referenced. And even after the award is actually established, it's still an award for affiliate marketing, and the only way that's ever going to be notable enough for encyclopedic memory is if there's a celebrity wardrobe malfunction at the awards banquet. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "Media coverage" from the website the creator of the awards writes for: "The brain-child of affiliate marketer and blogger Murray Newlands, who often graces these pages with his bylines". - SummerPhD (talk) 01:44, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Affiliate Marketing is important for many businesses - even major brands use it including Amazon, Wal-Mart, iTunes, Target, NewEgg, Microsoft, Google, and 1000s of others - and those who are best known in the Affiliate Marketing world are judges for these awards. The people behind Affiliate Summit would not be judges if they did not believe these awards were worthwhile. Are you saying that only what the masses care for like celebrity buzz is suitable for Wikipedia?

This article is not about "affiliate marketing", it's about "The Affiliate Marketing Awards". The article is up for deletion, not because "some people don't know enough about it to understand it's (sic) importance" but because the award is not notable. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:15, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability not established by reliable sources. I'll be nominating Murray Newlands for deletion too as even less notable. Affiliate marketing might be notable, that doesn't make this award notable. At best I can see for this is a section under the Affiliate marketing article listing major awards if they can produce evidence it is noteworthy even to that level. And producing a 'hasoffers blog' as a new post establishing it is being noticed... gah! is my response. My local school can get pictures into the paper with far less.

KEEP: Hello, I was contacted by a listener/supporter of my album Born Fresh because he is having difficulty posting a wiki page for my project. Was fairly shocked to see the open bashing, but always welcome contrasting views... firstly, you all make very valid points about my notoriety and notability. To date; I am not signed to a major label, have yet to had national press coverage and or broke into a global spotlight in any "major" way. None of this (mind you) has stopped our project from topping a (top 5 largest: Amazon)international sales chart or qualifying our page for a place on wikipedia; whether we ever accomplish those other standards or not. Now... you may see a lack of an article telling you what a "live" (up to the hour) chart is displaying in real time, but I feel that your attitude toward this Top 10 (peaked at #1 and is currently, 6 months later, #7out of 100,794 hip hop albums)debut album is not at all justified or acceptable. Please consider accomplishing such a feat as a result of hard work, dedication, and high quality standards while attacking its very existence. Sound (music) takes time to travel without money fueling it, and this has yet to stop our successes under such constricting circumstances. Please do not consider this article as a level of achievement that I earn by pleasing your personal standards, but allow the guidelines (#2, which has been met) to certify our presence in the world... I assure you; google me, I exist, so does my album. ps Im glad my name makes you think of mouthwash, thats what i was going for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBC413 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fred Meijer[edit]

WP:N. This was a PROD that I declined as an editor had contested it at a talk page, and had also attempted to contest it with an hangon template. Unsourced BLP, there are sources which can likely verifiably note his name as a voice actor in credits, but absolutely nothing I could find that would provide any sort of significant coverage in reliable sources to argue for notability under the WP:GNG. Reason given for the original PROD was "non-notable person.". Reason given on the Talk page for contesting the PROD was "In what way is a TV actor watched or listened to by MILLIONS not notable?". The policy question, to me, seems to be a question of whether voice actors like this have inherent notability that overrides the general notability guideline. j⚛e decker ^{talk to me} 18:58, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - My inclination would be to let this one stand given its stub status and the fairly broad number of roles cited. Television performers do indeed have something that approaches inherent notability in the view of many at these AfD debates. If this person did his work in English, I doubt there would have been a notability challenge launched. Admittedly this is not a really strong argument for inclusion; it's a close enough call that I'd advocate turning the other cheek, however. Carrite (talk) 07:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable topic. Can't find sources that WP:verify notability of the events after the year one war in this fictional series. Moreover it's an indiscriminate list of events since it leads to any number of articles that are based on "list of things that happened after X", such as "list of presidents after Gerald Ford" or "list of conflicts after the Franco-Prussian War".

Comment/Delete - You have misunderstood the scope of this article, Shooterwalker. The lead defines it as covering a precise time period in the "Universal Century" timeline, specifically the time period after the original Mobile Suit Gundam ends but before the sequal Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam begins. It is not a "list of things that happened after X", but a "list of things that happened between X and Y". Also, calling it the "year one war" makes me think you don't really understand the topic at all (it is the "One Year War", which lasts 1 year but takes place in year 0079, not a war taking place in year 1). That being said, this is basically extraneous plot detail that isn't necessary to understand the works set in this time period (WP:IINFO). The plot summary in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory does a better job of summarizing that work without extraneous detail. I don't think any of this excessive plot detail would improve any other article if it was merged, so it should just be deleted. Calathan (talk) 07:06, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Out of interest, did any of you four actually read WP:NSPORTS, which is the notability guideline for sports teams? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, in it's own words the WP:NSPORTS "guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson, sports league, or an amateur/professional sports league organization will meet the general notability guideline" since this page documents a Club History not individuals or the orginasition the club belongs too the WP:NSPORTS does not apply. Wyndley Soccer 7's is a well documented competition within the midlands district and so fulfils the criteria of the WP:GNG of "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".Duggie 1001 (talk) 18:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm afraid attempting to re-interpret Wikipedia's rules on notability is highly unlikely doesn't win anyone over (especially when it's coming from someone who has made no contributions to Wikipedia other than the page of your favourite local club). An article about a football club that includes three sentences about the club's history is still an article about the club. Should you be able to demonstrate that Wyndley Soccer 7s has received significant coverage in reliable sources, that might be enough for a page about that league society, but it does not mean that every club in the legaue will also get a page, because notability is not inherited. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I live within a few miles of Sutton Coldfield and I have never ever seen any coverage of the "Wyndley Soccer 7s" in any local media, it is definitely not "a well documented competition". Google turns up no coverage at all -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - An individuals failure to know of somethings existence does not prove it's non-existence. I don't think i was re-interpreting Wikipedia's rules on notability, i was quoting them as fact in turn proving that the application in which they were being correlated was not relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duggie 1001 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I never disputed that the competition exists. I did, however, dispute the assertion that it is a "well documented competition".

        I'm failing to see the relevance, this is not a page dedicated to "wyndley soccer 7's" we are not quantifying the league/organisation in turn not breaching the specification set by the WP:NSPORTS "guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson, sports league, or an amateur/professional sports league organization will meet the general notability guideline" Duggie 1001 (talk) 21:42, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Because Wikipedia is not there to represent any sports team that wants an article about themselves, however enthusiastic the lads who take part may be.

If you don't like that, Wikipedia is not the website for you. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The argument for the deletion of this article seems weak at best. The non- notability issue is rendered pointless with the external link to the league website.

Speedy delete and per nom. If you read the policies, you might see reasons. No-one is "entitled" to a page. "The non- notability issue is rendered pointless with the external link to the league website. It has many teams in many leagues." That merely proves existence. Please read WP:RS and WP:V. If you really want to save the article, take notice of what we are saying. We are regular editors here - why would we bother using our time trying to delete something worthwhile? We try to help people with articles - when they are willing to be helped, as you seem not to be. Wikipedia is free - you didn't pay to come in. It is collaborative - this is a part of a collaborative process. Your article wasn't deleted at first sight by a supporter of Vale Madrid, or even by someone like us who had never heard of either you or them before. It's being discussed.

- See WP:CRYSTAL. In the hypothetical situation where Wikipedia was around when Manchester United or Real Madrid was just starting up, no they wouldn't have had articles back then, no matter how many people in a deletion debate made unverifiable claims about hearing good things about them. They would only have got articles when they were getting enough attention for the newspapers (or something similar) to start writing about them, they joined a national league, or something similar. Wikipedia is for things that are notable now, not things that might be notable one day in the future (and certainly not for clubs that, in all probability, will never ever attain notability).

Out of interest, why are you all so desperate to have a page on Wikipedia anyway? You do realise that, unlike your Facebook page, anyone can edit your page, and it won't necessarily be nice. It is not unheard of for people who created articles about themselves to later request deletion after someone digs up dirt about them, and in some cases the request has been refused.

Comment If an article had been put up on Wikipedia in 1880 about Newton Heath F.C. - a railway company side playing at first only against other railway company sides, it would have been deleted - especially them after being defeated 6-0 by Bolton Wanderers Reserves... Railways? Newton who? What've they got to do with this? See Newton Heath F.C. for further thrilling details. Will you get this through your heads - this is free, but it is not free webspace for every Tom, Dick, Harry, Duggie (Ryan?), or Luke (visiting America but not Marvin Gaye who's dead).

It seems the claim to notability for all these clubs is identical (i.e. they're football clubs somewhat down the league pyramid), and it's going to be confusing if articles for clubs in these league are present or absent based arbitrarily on which pages happen to have been nominated for deletion. Unless there's a good reason why some clubs in this league are any more or any less notable than the others, I think the sensible options are to keep all, delete all, or merge all into one article. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:20, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - This club belongs to a 10th tier league where the consensus was to keep the article belonging to 10 tier clubs. So it deserves its own article. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 13:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No independent sources. Not covered in neutral, reliable publications or websites. Sincerely, your friend, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:49, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As the author of the article, I have to admit that it is partially my own work (although I later found that similar work has been done elsewhere). This is what makes it difficult to produce citations and references. However, I provided proof and reasoning for the algorithms and that should be enough for verification. I note that nobody has contested the mathematics behind them. I also have a Java implementation for the successive prime factors method (it's not very long) which produces the same results as what other people have on the net but I don't know where to put it (I'd be happy to email it to whoever is interested). One would think that for any group of numbers in mathematics, there is an obvious need for algorithms to find those numbers. There wasn't anything there, so I put something there which is mathematically solid. I am happy for it to be replaced with something better or more notable, but it seems a bit drastic to delete the whole article and leave a gaping hole behind. Nevertheless, it looks like I am getting a fair hearing and I will gracefully accept the decision of the umpires.Torkel1001 (talk) 12:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there was so much sourcable information that independent notability could be established, a standalone would serve and we would not be having this discussion. As there is not, a careful pruning before a merge would be the editorial answer, as the main article is the place for readers to find this information. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 10:31, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: Sorry for not being clearer on this: I think this article should be outright deleted because there is no sourced information and the subject is not notable. A merge would be pointless, in my opinion, because almost all of the information in this article is already covered or mentioned in the movie article.

Comment Although autobiographies are strongly discouraged, they are not forbidden. This is an article about a professor of medicine at Georgetown University.

- Comment There is more involved in strongly discouraging something than merely saying it's strongly discourage. At the very least, it should flip the presumption of proof; the creation of an article is testimony that at least someone thinks the topic is important, but in the case of an autobio, that is mere self-importance.

Nat Gertler, you linked to our policy on spam. Please think this through. The subject of this article is a 70 year old professor at one of the most prestigious medical schools in the United States. What goods or services is he allegedly spamming here? His school only accepts about 3% of the students who apply. He is not selling get-rich-quick schemes, phony weight loss products or the ""world's best pizza". He's not the lead guitarist in a brand new rock band. This article is not spam, and that guideline doesn't apply here. By the way, you haven't proved that Itzhak Brook himself is responsible for this article. It could be one or more of his relatives. Cullen328 (talk) 00:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cullen, you may wish to review WP:PROMO; it refers not just to selling product (although he did post a link to a sales page for his self-published autobiographical book, which I deleted), but also to "self-promotion", also mentioned as "personal promotion". No, I haven't proven that "Dribrook" is that Dr. I. Brook, but the user's identification as that in their efforts to post about a Dr. I. Brook and post his work as reference in multiple articles makes it clear that the name is supposed to suggest that it is. The user has been cautioned about autobio in multiple locations, and has certainly not posted any contradiction to the claim. (As for his being a professor, while that was his claim, another editor clarified it as his being an adjunct professor, not the full-time or permanent position one normally associates with that term.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nat, the topic is notable, the article as it now stands is in pretty decent shape, and the solution to any shortcomings in the article is improvement through the normal editing process, not deletion. Cullen328 (talk) 02:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that neither WP:PROMO nor WP:AUTOBIO are valid reasons for deletion. Instead, the solution to such problems when dealing with an article about a notable topic is to edit the article to eliminate such problems. Cullen328 (talk) 02:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addressing the question of whether this is WP:AUTOBIO, here the user indicates that he is the author of the blogs that have belong to the article's subject, so either its autobio or we're dealing with a fundamentally dishonest editor whose inclusions are not to be trusted. As for the article being in pretty decent shape, it has significant chunks that are unsourced, and has no criticism of the subject. Is there criticism to be had of Dr. Brook? I don't know, but I don't expect we'll find it when we allow him to be the one to build the article. I think we should concur with guidelines and strongly discourage autobio, rather than encouraging it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that further discussion of these issues should take place on the article's talk page if the article is kept, and that the shortcomings you see in the article should be addressed through normal editing.

So? That only means the article is incomplete, needs expansion. That's not a reason to delete a notable topic. -- œ ^™ 08:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly a good reason to redirect it to a list of the arterial roads in Vancouver, where that information can be added until such time as it merits a seperate article. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 08:36, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But it already 'merits' a separate article.. the topic is notable.. it's just an incomplete article, meaning it needs 'fixing' not deletion. Redirection is indeed an option, but only for the fact that noone currently has the inclination to improve it and low-quality stubs adversely affect Wikipedia's professional appearance, not because it's an unnotable topic. -- œ ^™ 08:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not every notable topic merits a unique article right now. It's almost a flipside to WP:DEADLINE if you think about it. Regardless, there is no prejudice against recreation when someone does have the time to make something of it besides a couple short paragraphs. Preserving the current article history is a benefit of redirection that makes it a far cry from outright deletion; the old article will be there for someone to start with. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 08:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So if I read you right, we should proceed to start redirecting all stub articles that meet the GNG to other lists and articles? Or just this one? The Interior (Talk) 09:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where it's appropriate to create an article that merges a group of articles that share a very common trait which don't quite merit a seperate article at this point, resulting in one good article rather than a bunch of not good articles, without losing any information from those merged articles: Yes! This is essentially the pokemon test. The articles can always be split out at a later date when there is enough information to write a suitable article; the article history is available as a starting block and to attribute the old edits that were merged. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 09:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. You'd like to this street included in a Vancouver version of an article like your own - User:Floydian/List of roads in Toronto. Which is an admirable solution to stubs on marginally important streets. In Vancouver's case, there is no such article. But honestly, if one were to collate a list of notable Vancouver streets that did warrant individual articles (like the navbox at Water Street does), this would be one. The Interior (Talk) 09:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ideally yes. I intended to do the same with Toronto; redirect all its terrible stubs to a nice article that sums up all the roads. Unfortunately too many editors are concerned with the number of articles on the encyclopedia, and not the quality of content. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 16:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If this landmark (or is it the clock that is the landmark?) is so important, it should be discussed in the Vancouver article, as a couple sentences do not make an article.

Keep - The coverage is in depth, thus passing WP:GNG and it confirms the street is one of Vancouver's tourist destinations. The proposed redirect is to simply a list article. --Oakshade (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What coverage? How is this even remotely in-depth, it doesn't even say where the road begins and where it ends! "Water street is a street in Vancouver." That's what you consider in-depth? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 17:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Rough Guide alone devotes a whole section to this street not just "Water street is a street in Vancouver." Don't know where you got that from. There's no requirement that a source states "where the road begins and where it ends!" Sorry you're angry. --Oakshade (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And that can't go in the notes on the list because...? And actually yes, that is the bare essential information for one of these articles, various wikiproject guidelines denote that, and this one doesn't even have that basic essential information. Its a two sentence note that can be merged until it is not a two sentence note. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 18:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's more than a "two sentence note" now. Even if it still was (which it wasn't btw), there was no reason to delete an article on a notable topic and redirecting only would've served to discourage editors who would want to expand it.--Oakshade (talk) 19:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a frequently expounded upon topic outside of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the world, just because our article is a piece of crap does not mean that there are not resources in the world to make it a good article. As has been pointed out, there are alot of sources to draw upon, since this is an oft-mentioned street in connection to Vancouver, and not some slightly-mentioned street. As the current state of the article is crap, temporarily redirecting it to the list article would be fine until a better version is written, but it should not be an enforced decision to always redirect the article. 64.229.101.119 (talk) 18:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not, that's why we have to discuss these sort of changes unfortunately. It seems almost common sense that if all the information is moved somewhere else, and readers will be redirect to that infomation, that nothing is lost in that process. There are resources to make almost every one of our 3.5 million articles into good, referenced articles. Editors just need to invest time into actually researching a topic before they add it here, instead of making a new page to add two sentences. Why can't there be an article on the streets of Vancouver, instead of an article for each street in Vancouver? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 18:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John Street (Toronto)[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Speedy redirect to List of roads in Toronto#John Street. This was merged by consensus not even a month ago. SimonP has decided to recreate it, rather than adding this slight bit of new infomation to the redirect target, where it easily fits. Not a notable road and doesn't deserve its own article, as was determined a few days ago; it travels a few city blocks and is classified as a local street by the city. The street itself has no claim to fame, it just has important places at major intersection with other actually notable roads (Front/King/Queen). Important places on a road don't in themselves make the road notable. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, close, and TROUT- What part of "this is not Articles for Redirect was unclear? Umbralcorax (talk) 19:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Learn wikipedia policy. This is a venue to discuss articles. They don't have to be nominated for deletion to be brought here. Talk pages of many articles are unwatched. When you've been here a little longer and know the rules, you can apply to be an admin and then you can perform the unprecedented closure you did last night. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 19:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- In all honesty, I think Articles for Deletion needs to be changed to Articles for Discussion, similar to RFD, TFD, etc. With this change, any deletions, proposed mergers, or requested moves can be discussed at this venue rather than on article talk pages. Dough 48 72 20:08, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do know wikipedia policy, thank you. There's one called WP:BEFORE, which says "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider turning the page into a useful redirect to an existing article – something you can do yourself without opening an AfD case". All you're doing in opening these afd's is wasting everyone's time. Umbralcorax (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was already done. Every single one that has been nominated here in the past few days was recreated with content that duplicates what is in the redirect target (or adds a fact or two to it at best). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So in other words, there was consensus to actually perform the redirect, so when someone undid your move, you brought it here make a POINT. Umbralcorax (talk) 01:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...No...

The article was listed for deletion. Consensus was to merge (see first AfD). This action was performed by User:Spartaz on January 16.[5]. SimonP recreated it on February 5, adding an infobox and a table with various buildings along the road.[6], but otherwise changing the prose very little. It was quickly nominated with CSD G4 by myself as a recreation of material from a recent AfD. An admin declined this request,[7] with the summary of "As much as this feels like an obvious G4, I think an AfD would calm everyne's nerves in thr long term". So I did exactly that. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 01:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Major Toronto street and there's far too much topic-specific content to merge into the already far too large "parent" article. Very in-depth coverage demonstrating passing WP:GNG. [8] --Oakshade (talk) 21:20, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting the potential target article is a completely seperate issue that has no bearing on this discussion. One source does not make a topic notable, WP:GNG requires multiple independent sources. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 21:46, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG does not require multiple sources (it says multiple sources are generally expected, not required). What's important about sources establishing notability is the depth of the coverage and that one cited is very in-depth. Here's another government one.[9] Oh, and here's another from the National Post. [10] And another from the Toronto Star. [11] So even under your criteria, this topic easily passes WP:GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So why don't you take all these great sources and actually make an article with them? Will either you or SimonP stick around after these afd's close to continue to improve all of these sub-par street articles using the sources you are presenting here, or will you run off to "save" whatever other roads are being nominated for deletion? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you've shifted your position that from it doesn't pass WP:GNG to "every article must be very long incorporating every word ever written about its topic from every source and if that's not done immediately, the article must be deleted." That's just silly and childish and not worth responding to.--Oakshade (talk) 23:04, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, every article that isn't long enough to merit seperation from a list of very similar articles (other roads in Toronto) should be merged until its big enough to be its own article. Otherwise they sit as permenant stubs for years without anything being done to them... that is of course until someone comes along with a hot poker. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now your argument has shifted yet again to "it's too small." First of all, there are no WP:TOOSMALL disqualifying guidelines in Wikipedia. That's what stub notices are for. Secondly, it's a already beyond stub status and too large to merge into another one. Thirdly, it easily passes WP:GNG. You're fighting a losing battle here. --Oakshade (talk) 01:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed. Crappy articles rejoice. Like I said, I'm sure once these AfD's are done that these articles will rot for another few years without a single reference being added to them. Hopefully one day opinions will change. We should go around making placeholders for other topics that could potentially have a good article. As long as they pass GNG it doesn't matter how good or bad the article is, right? When this nomination was made, the article was more than small enough to be merged until the time came that someone made it like it is now. Of course it is only when the threat of the article going away comes around that any work is actually done on it by the people that want to keep it so badly. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 01:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Let's act like adults. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is no personal attack. I will continue to use profane language as I please, there is no rule against that (or can you provide to the contrary?). Colonel is spamming every nomination with the same inapplicable crap, and it is simply unacceptable. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 01:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, Wikipedia:Civility. Please read it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:19, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Shawn in Montreal beat me to it, but the line you may want to pay particularly close attention to is this: "A single act of incivility can also cross the line if it is severe enough: for instance, extreme verbal abuse or profanity directed at another contributor, or a threat against another person can all result in blocks without consideration of a pattern." freshacconci talktalk 01:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Civility only refers to attacking another member, not to general use of profane language. In both cases, my use of "fucking" was as a modifier / adjective that expressed frustration. I didn't call Colonel a fuck, or a fuck up, nor assert that they were fucked; I asked if they were blind (perhaps less than civil, but if we're supposed to act like adults here, then we should have skin thicker than a baby), and then stated "Use common sense". Mass stamping of AfD's with speedy keep based on a personal interpretation of WP:SK is far more disruptive than two swear words. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 01:28, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh, please. Cut the semantics and the drama. "Are you fucking blind?"; "Use common fucking sense"; "Your vote is useless". Those are attacks, with profanity, directed at one editor. freshacconci talktalk 02:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I'll repeat myself: if we're supposed to act like adults here, then we should have skin thicker than a baby. This was not intended as a personal insult at colonel, but as an expression of my frustration at their unconstructive comments; that is all there is to it. Any continued drama beyond this point is the doing of those initiating it. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 02:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Exactly, act like an adult, admit you're in the wrong and apologize. You violated Wikipedia policy. It's clear and simple and no amount of redirection is going to alter that. You're frustrated that this AfD isn't going like you planned. Your comments on this page, not just to Colonel Warden, but to others you disagree with show a great deal of immaturity. freshacconci talktalk 02:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Floydian, your behavior in both this attempted mass deletion effort and your lack of civility has only served as a disruption to editors and exposing your poor judgment. I don't know if you're embarrassed, angry or outright humiliated that these AfDs aren't going your way, but that is absolutely no excuse for that kind of language you have demonstrated here as well as your own talk page.

Comment/Question Is "Mayor Brown (Yogi Bear)" really going to be a reasonable search term? I don't particularly care either way, but I'm not sure if anyone would likely be searching this (on a side note, I'd find it unlikely that anyone would be searching at all for a generic stock character from a not particularly successful movie, but that's really just my opinion.)--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If some reader (not me) is a fan of the film, then yes... it is a reasonable term that at least for that reader and for him, not generic. And as we do have disambig links to articles on a Mayor Brown of Buffalo and a former Mayor Brown of San Francisco and a Mayor Brown of Knoxville and a former Oakland Mayor Brown (now California governor), the disambig would be needed. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, I'm talking more about what to do with the actual page "Mayor Brown (Yogi Bear)" than with the disambiguation page. It seems unlikely that anyone will ever search that with this exact phrasing; it makes more sense to just list it on the disambiguation page I made with a link to the movie.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's always an option, certainly... but even as someone created the article in the first place, its not that unlikely or unbelievable that someone else might come searching. A reader might have seen the movie and or even appreciate the character of the Mayor who wanted to shut down Jellystone Park. In cashing in on existing audience interest (not mine), its conceivable that the film could have a sequel or even that the Mayor character might eventually gain notability. That the actual page becomes a redirect serves both Wikipedia and whatever reader that might come looking. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:16, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

El Faro Restaurant[edit]

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

Non notable restaurant. The Spanish paper linked article is mostly about a documentary on Little Spain in New York, and not on the restaurant itself. Contested PROD. PROD removed citing restaurant's age. Ravendrop (talk) 04:00, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well. Follow the link http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/genteytelevision/2011/02/05/00031296925866719507292.htm Citation: "Mejor suerte corrió el restaurante El Faro, fundado en 1959 en el 823 de la calle Greenwich por el celanovés José Pérez y por su socio Andrés Lugrís. «Todavía somos socios, pero hoy son nuestros hijos, José A. Pérez y Mark Lugrís, quienes dirigen el negocio», explica José Pérez, cuyo testimonio es uno de los más destacados en el documental Little Spain. «Durante la ley seca -recuerda Pérez-, el restaurante era un lugar de bebida clandestina, como muchos en torno a los muelles. Después fue una bodega portuaria, especializada en lo español. La clientela de los años 60 y 70 era variada: en gran parte, de marineros gallegos que trabajaban en barcos americanos, en su mayoría como fogoneros; pero otros eran políticos españoles exiliados. Y luego había clientela americana y artistas de Hollywood, como Marlon Brando, que venía muy a menudo»." And please see the second picture of the article, citation: "UN RESTAURANTE FRECUENTADO POR MARLON BRANDO. Detrás de la barra de El Faro, en una imagen del año 1959, los socios fundadores José Pérez (sirviendo una copa) y Andrés Lugrís. El restaurante tenía una clientela eminentemente española, pero también fue frecuentado por celebridades como Marlon Brando y logró tres estrellas en la crítica gastronómica del «The New York Times»."

It says, among other things, that the restaurant had clients like Marlon Brando in the 50s, and that achieved 3 stars at the New York Times Review.

Comment Its historical value is not subject to your own interpretation. You need to provide reliable, third party references (above and beyond the spanish article, which has issues, that is in there already) to prove that it is considered historically valuable and noteworthy. Ravendrop (talk) 21:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, Ravendrop, "above and beyond" of understanding capabilities is dificoult. It is obvious: what I did explain in the paragraph above is not a personal interpretation, is an explanation based on the facts: years of existence, place where it is since its origins, link to the Spanish history of this part of Chelsea-West Village, and why it has a significance, which indicates notability as a landmark. No one is saying that it is a famous restaurant, or the most expensive of Manhattan (probably that could be enough for you as indication of notability), but it is about the history of the restaurant. I don't have personal interest in the matter, but it is a landmark in the history of Little Spain. And the Spanish article does not have issues -unless we consider an issue the fact that probably your Spanish knowledge suffers a lack of lexicon or is structurally poor. Keep in mind the WP rules: this is an article that states notability in terms of historic value of the restaurant, in the context of Little Spain. --Lolox76 (talk) 04:12, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Historical value doesn't matter; it meets WP:GNG. The Spanish-language source is actually quite substantial. And add to it [14] and [15], and you've got significant coverage in reliable sources. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:34, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alvin and the Chipmunks (film series)[edit]

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

The series does not need it's own article. The franchise itself already has its own page, from which this entire article was just copied and pasted, and with only 2 movies (none of which were particularly esteemed) and one more planned, a page for the series is completely unnecessary. Other than a comparison of cast members, there is no new information in this article that is not just taken from the individual page. It is is, quite literally, a copy and paste of a section of the main Alvin and the Chipmunks article. Only for movies where the series itself is incredibly significant (Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind) is a page on the film series needed. With a series like Pirates, or Toy Story, or Shrek, there's been plenty of coverage, analysis and discussion of the series as a whole, not just the individual movies. Yaksar (let's chat) 02:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Only for movies where the series itself is incredibly significant (Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind) is a page on the film series needed" - is this only your opinion or a statement on the standards of wikipedia, which may (and usually does) have a page for any notable film series? Keep Bienfuxia (talk) 05:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe there's something stated to that effect, although I'm having trouble finding it at the moment. Regardless, the article still suffers from problems regarding REDUNDANT and Content Forking.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:22, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps. But I can't see any good reason not to let it be. Bienfuxia (talk) 05:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although it would make Wikipedia a cooler place, we unfortunately can't base our policies off the philosophies of Beatles songs. :)--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

if it were merged with the main article and cleaned up a little bit I think it is salvagable, unlike the movie itself. I can't believe I am not trying to delete something...I feel so wrong. Imasomething (talk) 18:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You mean merged with this article? If so, that already contains basically all the information (in fact, most of it just seems to be copied and pasted out of this section.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I see your point. I really didn't notice the similarities until you pointed them out. I was going cross eyed from reading so much about Alvin and the Chipmunks. I think the better argument is for deleting it is the one you presented to me, that it looks like a cut and paste job from another article. I agree with the delete. Imasomething (talk) 03:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge contents into Alvin_and_the_Chipmunks article; it's an unnecessary fork. KeptSouth (talk) 09:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it even needs to be merged. It was copied and pasted right from there.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are animated films as well mentioned there, so its more than just two films. The article's infobox reads: "Budget $100 million" and "Gross revenue $904,476,638". Someone thought these films fairly significant to spend that much money on them, and they are proven significant by how much they made. Dream Focus 21:41, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the nominator mentioned "none of which were particularly esteemed", I'm just wondering if you think that is a valid reason to delete something? They made a ton of money, so someone liked them. My sister's young daughters watched those films many times and enjoyed them. WP:Idon'tlikeit is not a reason to delete something. Don't be a hater. Dream Focus 21:55, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That was just one fact I noted, not the main argument for deletion. I also want to once again point out that this article is literally just copied and pasted from the main article on Alvin and the Chipmunks, adding almost nothing else.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:19, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More information can be added. I tagged it for rescue. Dream Focus 22:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More info could be added about the individual films, but there's not reason to; they already have their own entire articles. As you yourself pointed out in an edit summary, the sources are all about the individual movies; none about the general "series". Contrast that with something like Shrek or Toy Story, where there's plenty of notable coverage, analysis, and documentation of the series as a whole.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:43, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – If the argument for deleting this article is that the content can be adequately covered on the franchise page, the obvious step is to nominate the articles for a merge. If the article is deleted all the information about the films will be lost. Betty Logan (talk) 07:14, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Delete – Copyvio. Sorry, I didn't realise it was a wholesale cut and paste job in its entirety. In that case there isn't really a debate here, it has to go. The copy vio stuff has to be removed and there just won't be an article left after it is. Betty Logan (talk) 15:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No copyright violation. Wikipedia rules have been followed. See below. Dream Focus 19:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dream Focus is correct, see below. Flatscan (talk) 05:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note I think it's also worth mentioning that the page seems to violate Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This is something that I normally would have PRODed I think, but I felt bad for the user who created it (who had gone on a spree of unencylopedic articles, all of which are not deleted I believe.)--Yaksar (let's chat) 12:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did a phantom edit so the history summary will show where the information was copied from. [16] There is no rule against starting an article with content from another, and leaving it there to expand. Anyone wishing to see the history of the article to see who came up with what, will see my edit summary telling them where to look. Dream Focus 19:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dream Focus has the right idea here – the missing attribution can be provided, rather than deleting the article, per WP:Copying within Wikipedia#Repairing insufficient attribution. If the article is kept here, I'll add the necessary ((Copied))s. Flatscan (talk) 05:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. The copyright issue was really just a side-note I brought up later though (I'm not familiar enough with all that to be comfortable concretely referencing it.) The other points about it being an unnecessary copy and paste job still stand. But thanks for clearing that all up.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This article is a direct copy and paste from Alvin and the Chipmunks#Direct-to-video Chipmunks films from Universal, except for the table at the end of the article which shows which actors portrayed the different characters in each movie. If this table is useful, it can be merged back to the main article before this one is deleted. Aside from the table, there is no new information in this article. SnottyWong ^confabulate 15:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there the potential for growth for this article? Is there information which could expand it? Dream Focus 19:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There possibly is, but at the moment it's just duplicated everything from the main article. As a copy vio it has to go. If the editor or other editors decide that the series would be better off with its own article rather than part of the franchise article they should propose a split through the proper methods so the authorship of the material can be properly accounted for. Betty Logan (talk) 19:44, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now with support for recreation when the third film comes out. If it is recreated, it should provide overviews of the cast and crew, the box office performance, and the critical reception. I would prefer to see the franchise article's "The Chipmunks' future" film-related section being rewritten and presented in the film series article, with the franchise article having a summary section about it. Of course, right now, a reader can see one film article or the other to find out details. Three is a reasonable threshold for comparing details across the series.

Weakest possible keep Articles on fictions, even details of fictions, are appropriate; consider March Hare, which is much better written.

Delete; searches for the term reveal a handful of references in a musical context, none of which seem to include the genre suggested in this article. It seems that this is WP:OR based on unreliable sources.--SabreBD (talk) 15:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; most sources use last.fm wiki pages, unsourced claims and also lacks reliability. Jonjonjohny (talk) 17:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Sweeney[edit]

This is a news story, and a fleeting one at that, masquerading as a biographical article. The article was previously nominated for deletion and survived without consensus, but since that nomination was back in 2006 when the events were still current and before concepts like WP:BLP1E ("If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them."), I decided to renominate it.

There is very little in the way of biographical sources about this person; the sources are all news stories from a very short window in time in which a verdict became somewhat controversial. That is not a basis for an article on the person. Dominic·t 02:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although a case could be made to keep because of the controversy. However in general WP should not have biographies of common criminals. If changes in law or policy come about because of this case then his name could redirect to an article on that. Jaque Hammer (talk) 19:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename to Craig Sweeney sentencing controversy. Per WP:BIO1E: "In considering whether or not to create separate articles [about an event or person known for their role in the event], the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered." Given that the coverage of the events/controversy center around one individual, I am OK with leaving the title as is unless a more acceptable one is suggested. Examination of GNews, GBooks, GScholar reveals even more coverage since the first Afd in 2006, so there is no doubt that the subject matter meets WP:GNG.

- That is not the intention of the policy you quote. The example cited there is the political assassin who precipitated the First World War, a very historically notable incident; the event we are talking about here is not. Murders and rapes, though, happen everyday, and the perpetrators frequently make the news. While it is true that those individuals are a major focus of the coverage, you seem to be suggesting that any murder covered in the news necessitates a biographical article about the culprit. There aren't actually biographical sources from which a biography could actually be constructed, rather than simply news stories surrounding this single event and controversy. Dominic·t 07:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am definitely not suggesting that any murder covered in the news necessitates a biographical article about the culprit. Nor do I believe that subject matter needs to be the equivalent of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria for it to be included in Wikipedia. This particular perpetrator and his criminal act precipitated "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and which exists beyond a short news cycle. In other words, it is not the "fleeting news story" that you have suggested. The intention of the guideline I quoted is to clarify points that should be considered when deciding whether notable subject matter should fall under the name of the event or the name of a person. Given that the event is centered on one particular person, I am OK with naming the article after the person or the event. Location (talk) 09:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
