These articles are, in my opinion, misconceived. This is truly a case for discussion - I'm not necessarily saying all of these should be deleted, and I'm at a loss as to what to do with these and seek advice.
First of all, Category:Lists of countries by year was created in 2007, and remains almost unpopulated. And if were populated, it would contain hundreds and hundreds of articles, many of which would repeat the same information. This doesn't seem right to me, and would constitute a maintenance nightmare.
Better might be a series of articles "List of countries 1700-1750", "...1750-1799", etc. Then you could start with the original list and only specify changes that occurred in 1701, 1702, etc. This would be a lot more managable. But for this, we might as well start from scratch. However, a series of merges may be in order. Herostratus (talk) 00:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The articles are consideration are these:
It would be possible to treat these differently.

As it stands this is either original research or a copyright violation, which we cannot directly check. Such lists as these are matters of research and informed opinion, and they belong to the person or organisation who did the work, such as Forbes. If someone is prepared to research who originally created this list, rename the article, source it, clean it up, and reduce it so it is a sample rather than the entire list then it would meet our guidelines.

There is no list elswhere which covers solely the catastophic loss of power from a dam - such an occurence iis highly significant and is quite seperate from the structural faiure of a dam. Thereofore this list is highly significant. It cannot easilly be ocmbined with the dam faiure list which includes many non hydro elctric dams. The fact it is a hodge podge of different causes could equally well be applied to the existing dam failure list.

Note - ref the above comment - the use of the term catasrophic applies to the effect of losing say the 16 GW of the iataupu Dam - losing a nuclear stations of say 2 Gw is not catasrophic in this sense. some of these dams are much bigger than single nuke or fossil stations and if all the breakers open simaltaneoulsy or the line is lost, then this is indeed catasrophic and makes headliens round the world.Engineman (talk) 19:15, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a difficult AfD. The article is written by a well respected contributor See edit, but at the same time multiple editors edit & edit are unable to find support for it. As we all know from Wikipedia:Verifiability; "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." The article is in Category:Articles lacking sources from October 2006 which is the oldest category of articles on Wikipedia tagged as needing references. While we can all beleive that the content is true, and hope that someone will come along with references, to meet WP:V there needs to be some reliable sources to meet Verifiability for the article to continue to be included in Wikipedia.

The result was Deletion Nomination Withdrawn I agree, this article is now informative and adequately sourced. There is now a clear topic. Alpha Quadrant talk 17:56, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Article is entirely based on original research and speculation. The topic of the article is also quite unclear, jumping between two different subjects. A google search has 2,700 results and it appears there is a place as well as a person with this name, but I could find sources for the person described in this article.

I cant find a single Reliable Source for this thing, a couple of conspiracy books and none seem to be reliable for anything. This could be largest Hoax ever on Wikipedia.

WP:N, no notability...the "references" are all links to wikipedia pages that do not mention anything about the article. The author removed the proposal for deletion without discusion. Passionless (talk) 03:23, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please tell me how I can make this more notable? I have references to market places, other applications like it, forum and non-forum links, loop backs to wiki pages. I'm not quite sure why you don't believe this is notable? Please provide information on why the external links to the market places, etc are not notable and I will correct the article. But I need specifics since your reason for sighting that this is not notable is very generic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnacules (talk • contribs) 03:43, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in this article indicates why there should be an article about this particular name out of the millions of given names in the world. It's not a disambiguation page with a list of people of the name, it's just a definition which at best should go to Wiktionary, but my tagging it as such was deleted twice, so there's no point in edit warring about it.

The result was Delete There is no argument made that the article's subject is notable, beyond receiving the honor of Member of the Order of the British Empire.

The result was Delete No argument has been made that Saarelma would be notable without benefit of WP:ATHLETE, which confers subject specific notability upon "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league". As Jimbo points out, the Veikkausliiga, although it is Finland's premier league, is listed among "Top level leagues which are not fully professional" Wikipedia:FPL, although it is 93% professional. User:Nfitz has a good point, in that an "all or nothing" requirement excludes Finland (and for that matter, New Zealand, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Canada), while admitting players all players in a good deal of the world's minor leagues, such as America's USL Second Division. However, use of common sense is going to be something that the writers of policy must do, not the appliers of policy. If the status of Veikkausliiga were to change, or the rule were to be changed from 100% to "at least 90%", Saarelma would be able to bypass WP:PEOPLE. Until then, he cannot come in under WP:ATHLETE.

This is an orphaned stub on a non-notable student organization. I was a bit surprised to see it has been on Wikipedia for several years, perhaps it seems notable because it is a special-interest organization.

Firstly, the only references in this article are to blogspot, violating WP:RS and WP:N. Secondly, considering that the article claims Niraj Kulkarni has done award-nominated work on the videogame Crysis, it's curious that a google search for 'niraj kulkarni crysis' only yields Wikipedia, Wikipedia mirrors and a few facebook and linkedin pages. Thirdly, curious that nobody by this name appears in Crysis' credits. Suspect hoax, but not quite confident enough to slap it with a ((db-hoax)) and have done with it.

The result was no consensus. There is still no consensus in this AFD with disagreement over it's notability. There is some support for a merge and this closure should not prevent agreement being reached on the talk page for a merge. Davewild (talk) 09:10, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Only one source. No relevant hits found anywhere. Last AFD from 2008 was "no consensus" with all but one "keep" !vote being a simple WP:ITSNOTABLE.

Please advise on how to improve with notability or sourcing; still a work-in-progress. Disagree with comment about Minor League football not being physical--it's as real as any other level of football (and moreso than rugby). Rampage is only 1 of 9 teams in Iowa and Webster City is the second smallest town to have a team; all competition is from big cities such as Des Moines, the Quad Cities, Lincoln (NE), Omaha (NE)... Blaze finished as Runners-up to Oklahoma Thunder in World Bowl IV of the WFL.
