There is no source showing this "large fan base", nor does the article reflect this. It does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. - SudoGhost 23:13, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon, but if User:Esprqii were (hint) able to source "Has a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following" for this actor, and not just the series, then the actor might be seen as notable per WP:ENT. However, I do agree that this appears not to be the case and the article fails to show notability for the actor. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, sorry, drive-by rating. Anyway, this kind of deletion is always mystifying to me. The actor stars in a television series on a US network--there is no doubt of that. To me, that appearance alone meets the basic GNG of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If he were an extra in the series with one line, then that's different, but this is the lead role. As far as the vague "large fan base" requirement, that seems easy enough to fill; he has a significant teen following, as evidenced by various fan clubs, Facebook page, blogs, etc. any Google search can turn up. I suppose those could be listed as ELs, but my sense of the purpose of that requirement is to contrast him with the extra with one line who would not have a following at all. As long as the subject is verifiable, let's remember this is WP:NOTPAPER. BTW, actor bios are not usually my thing; he just happened to be born in an area covered by a project I'm active with. --Esprqii (talk) 18:04, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
His appearance in a show cannot reasonably be considered "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." He is an actor in the show. From the show, we know nothing significant about him, other than his name and a vague physical description. Additionally, as the show is the reason for his purported notability, it is hardly independent. The existence of fan clubs, Facebook pages, blogs, etc. shows there is some effort to either organize or drum up a following. Reliable sources evidencing a large fan base or cult following is something else entirely, IMO. Basically, the WP:ENT guideline seems to draw a sharp line between an actor with one significant role (or any number of minor roles) and those who have had multiple significant roles in notable productions. This actor has one significant role and very little coverage in independent reliable sources. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the second criteria of WP:ENT, Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following., needs to be covered in multiple reliable, third-party sources if it is used as the reason to keep an article. Most actors will not meet #2 without also meeting #1. - SudoGhost 08:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the subject itself.
  • With respect to notability, the inclusion of topics on Wikipedia is a reflection of whether those topics have been included in reliable published works.

Best charting single got to #78 on the singles charts. Granted, there won't be many online references to him, but I'm curious as to where we draw the line. WP:BAND says that an act may be notable if they've charted a single. However, the Joel Whitburn books are chock full of artists who only charted once in the lower 1/4 of the chart, never charted again and faded into the past. And about 99% of these artists who never made it past the #75 range are completely unheard of in the Googleverse. I would add in this case that he recorded for a very small indie label.

I can't find any BLP info besides a date of birth in the Whitburn country singles book, so I would think that if there's almost nothing besides Whitburn to verify that he even exists, then a #78 single over 30 years ago (on a chart that currently stops at #60, for the record) probably doesn't cut it since we know nothing else about him.

  • So you'd argue to keep an article on the band Shurfire, who despite having a #47 hit are so obscure that Joel Whitburn can't even confirm any of the band members' names?! Get real. Did you ignore the "MAY" in the sentence I highlighted? Nowhere does it say that charted single = GUARANTEED notability, it only means "may" be notable. Not "will", "May". I just love how you think that policy's ironclad and guaranteed to make an article stay even if it's someone whose only hit got to #100.

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

I'll start off with what I wrote before: "Completely non-notable Esperantido which, if Google is any judge, doesn't exist outside of Wikipedia, its mirrors, and wherever Petro Stojan published the grammar." I thought it was an open-and-shut case, which is why I didn't bother using the AfD tag that required that I open a debate. However, User:Wiwaxia removed the tag, arguing that the article was notable because the "[l]anguage was invented in 1923 and is still known today! Also, its history was described in the 1976 ediiton of Eco-logos." This seems dubious to me for two reasons. First, there is probably a policy on Wikipedia stating that age doesn't make a subject inherently notable. Sure it's old, but so what? Second, after a fairly thorough search of the internet (including JSTOR), I had a tough time proving that Uniala exists, which makes me wonder in what circles it is known. None that use the internet, apparently. Eco-logos was apparently an Esperantist journal from the 70s whose purpose was to discuss Esperantidos, and it took a while just to figure out that much about it, since it too is rarely mentioned on the internet and does not appear in JSTOR. WP:NOTE, plain and simple. *bows* Hermione is a dude (talk) 14:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The trouble with both books is that they contain hundreds of languages. Both are excellent resources, but it would go too far to treat a bare mentioning in them as a proof of notability alone. It does of course add up to it, but for a language to have an article on its own, more sources are needed. My feeling is that Uniala should be listed in a list of esperantids, not in a separate article. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 20:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • So is a Merge into Esperantido the optimal solution to this and possibly other articles on such languages, whose substance hardly rises above a basic stub? AllyD (talk) 20:30, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't believe that Uniala should be included on Wikipedia just because it exists. While Esperantidos in general as well as specific examples are notable we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that they all are. Hermione is a dude (talk) 21:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion, a thing doesn't have to be particularly notable to be mentioned IN an article. I really can't see any harm in including it in a list, like the old List of Esperantidos used to be before it became a redirect. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 23:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One more comment: The only information contained in the article is in fact this: "Uniala is an international auxiliary language created in 1923 by P. J. Troost and Petro Stojan. That's bit of info is worth preserving. Esperantido would be one possibility, but there is also an the article about Petro Stojan that might even be a better place. In that article, you'll find that there are no less than another four of these babies:

And that's it, this is their entire content. It is highly unlikely that any of them will ever grow into anything more than what they already are. It's quite obvious that none of these projects are even remotely close to being notable. Of course, they deserve being mentioned in the article about Stojan, so we might as well move the information there and delete the whole bunch. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 23:55, 9 July 2011 (UTC) For the record, Uniala was turned into a redirect even at the Esperanto edition, where apparently the only criterion for including a constructed language is being one.[reply]

  • Okay, done for all five of them. I realise this is me being perhaps a bit too bold while the AFD is not concluded yet, but it's also obvious that this is the best anyone could make of it. The redirects can stay or be removed, it doesn't really matter. These five articles were among the worst-visited of the entire WP:CL anyway (1-5 visitors a month). —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 02:16, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • That the sources are reviews is no reason to discount them from establishing notability. Restaurants primarily receive coverage from reviews, not journals or other media. To require non-review sources places an unfair, unreasonable burden on restaurants. A burden that is not supported by policy.

    Subject specific notability guidelines like Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) supplement the overarching notability guideline Wikipedia:Notability. Failing the former (an assertion which I contest) does not mandate deletion when a subject passes the latter. Without question, The Red Elephant passes Wikipedia:Notability. It has received coverage in the Tallahassee Democrat, The Ledger, Dothan Eagle, and Jax Air News. The coverage is from the U.S. state Florida and the U.S. state Alabama. This coverage is from 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010. Coverage of this restaurant is diverse and persistent.

    Though it is certain that "these guys did not invent pizza, or even the concept of a pizza restaurant" (paraphrase), notability does not require this. The significant independent coverage in reliable sources that are diverse and persistent demonstrates that this restaurant is notable and should have a Wikipedia article. Cunard (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, but they contribute nothing to notability, so far as I can see. They're local press reviews of a local restaurant - and I can't remember seeing a local press review of a local restaurant that said 'this place is crap - for God's sake don't go there, you mightn't survive'. Just like motoring correspondents never say 'the new Shiva Fosterchild has a tacky looking plastic dash, all the knobs fell off and it took half an hour to start if it was raining'. They don't say things like this because they are looking for advertising business. Those reviews indicate a place that exists, and sells pizza and beer. Nothing special about that. Peridon (talk) 18:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Red Elephant is not merely a restaurant. It is a restaurant chain.

    The sources are independent, reliable, and in-depth. They fulfill the requirements at Wikipedia:Notability. Wikipedia:Notability does not discriminate against sources for being local.

    I dispute your contention that local reviews of a restaurant are mainly for "advertising business". Such reviews provide honest opinions about the reviewers' assessments of the restaurants. For example, in the Jax Air News article, the reviewer mixes praise with criticism (my bolding):

    Our lunch entrees were a bit spotty, with the Margherita Chicken Pizza ($6.99, individual) ending up as a thumbs down. We liked the crispy bottom and the dense chewiness of the crust, but the tomatoes, chicken and pesto were overwhelmed by piles of basil. Another pizza, this time a plain cheese pie, went over better, with special compliments to both the quality of the cheese and the mild red sauce.

    For some reason, my salad was a miss as well, despite having an abundance of everything. I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad ($7.69) and it came with loads of grilled chicken, olives, onions, tomatoes and colorful tortillas chips on top. However, there was very little dressing and the chicken was too hot when it was placed on top of the greens. This resulted in limp, wilted lettuce.

    ...
    The Red Elephant appears to have a winning recipe - a little something for everyone. If they could spend some time on the menu and make every item as successful as the appetizers, this could easily become a neighborhood favorite.

    It is highly inaccurate to assume that this article is paid advertising. I consider this review tantamount to reviews about books. Measured criticism mixed with measured praise.

    You write: "Those reviews indicate a place that exists, and sells pizza and beer. Nothing special about that." – Wikipedia:Notability does not deny inclusion of a place that merely "sells pizza and beer". It requires that a subject receive significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not paper.

    I have provided multiple independent reliable sources. Sources spanning several years and two U.S. states. The Red Elephant meets the criteria for inclusion despite editors' invalid discounting of valid sources. Cunard (talk) 01:17, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • All of these are reviews in local papers in the Florida Panhandle and adjoining areas of Alabama. They sent someone to one of this local chain's eight locations and gave an opinion. That kind of local coverage still doesn't make these pizza restaurants have achieved anything of the kind that gets memorialized in an encyclopedia; there's no long term historical notability here. Which is why the notability guideline for businesses counts "routine restaurant reviews" in its list of coverage that does not establish encyclopedic significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:59, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia:Notability does not require "long term historical notability"; it requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. That these newspapers deemed The Red Elephant to be worthy of coverage means that it passes the bar of notability. Your personal view of notability conflicts with the Wikipedia guideline for notability. As Uncle G (talk · contribs) once wrote:

    Notability is not the same as the concepts of fame or importance. A subject that is not famous or that is not important is not automatically non-notable; and conversely a subject that is notable is not automatically famous nor important. The concepts of fame and importance have implicit in them the notion of a target population — a subject is famous amongst a group of people, a subject is important to a particular set of people. Notability has no such implicit notion. Notability is independent of specific groups of people.

    To understand this, consider that the primary notability criterion makes no mention of readership. A subject is not notable under the primary criterion if it is widely read about. It is notable by dint of people writing about it. It is the source writers, not the target readership population, that is relevant to the primary notability criterion.

    Whilst someone may become famous because lots of people read an article about them in a mass-market tabloid newspaper, what makes that person notable, or rather what demonstrates that that person is notable, is the fact that the journalist, editor, and publisher at the newspaper went to the effort of researching, writing, and publishing an independently sourced non-trivial article about that person.

    A "showing of technical, cultural, or historical significance" (your first post) is not necessary. I need only show that The Red Elephant has received the requisite coverage in multiple reliable newspapers.

    I note that the "routine restaurant reviews" was added on June 20, 2011, by Lambiam (talk · contribs) to Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies without any discussion. It cannot be considered a valid part of the guideline.

    Paraphrasing from Alansohn (talk · contribs) at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 December 9#Matt Kassel about subject-specific notability guidelines: WP:CORP is subordinate to WP:N. WP:CORP is a "great argument for retention, but an awful one for deletion, especially if the article provides adequate reliable and verifiable sources to demonstrate that it meets general notability guidelines as is the case here". Cunard (talk) 00:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have provided three non-review articles below. Wikipedia:Notability merely requires that a subject has received "significant coverage" in multiple reliable sources. It does not require a subject pass WP:MILL. Cunard (talk) 17:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You have to understand the difference between a news story about a restaurant and a review of a restaurant. An news story will have extensive fact checking and editorial oversight by the reporter and their supervisors to insure that the article is truthful and factual. A review traditionally does not receive the level of oversight because they are not news stories but opinion pieces. Now, I am not stating you cannot use a review as a source in article; they can be used to establish information about how a menu affects the operation's underlying business structure, e.g. While the Xxxxx opened to great fanfare, critic's opinions of chef Joe Blow's cuisine were rather harsh, and the public agreed... In a case such as these, this is were a review would be a valid, citable source because it verifies the negative opinion of the fare served at this restaurant I made up. But in itself, said review would not establish why Xxxxx was notable.
Finally Cunard, you have to understand that the notability guidelines have several subsections that establish exceptions to the rule. You keep looking at the main page at WP:Note while ignoring WP:Org which governs this exact situation. Please look at the links Smerdis and others have provided. They explain our positions on why this is not a notable chain. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 16:36, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree with your contention that WP:Org supersedes WP:Note. The latter which is watched by many has received more oversight than the former which is watched by few. Therefore, WP:Note is more representative of consensus. From the second paragraph of WP:Note (my bolding):

    A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guideline below, and is not excluded under What Wikipedia is not. A topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right.

    Therefore, WP:Org is, as my quote from Alansohn demonstrates, a superb argument for retention but an awful one for deletion.

    Reviews establish notability because they demonstrate that a restaurant chain has been noticed and noted by newspapers' journalists and editors. This is the same as book reviews. That such articles are subjective should not detract from their ability to establish notability.

    However, I accept that you do reject reviews from establishing notability. I have provided three additional non-review sources that provide objective nontrivial coverage about The Red Elephant:

  • Objective coverage: This article from The Florida Times-Union:

    A new restaurant opened last week in Mandarin called The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill. The eatery, at 10131-12 San Jose Blvd. (near Crown Point Road), is part of a small chain based in Tallahassee that features a wide selection of salads, burgers and pizzas. Salads cost $8 or less, a large pizza (which serves three to four) is about $19 and burgers are under $8. Family friendly, the restaurant also has a game room for the kids. The Mandarin location is the fifth for Red Elephant, a restaurant concept launched by a former Outback Steakhouse proprietor.

    This article from The Tampa Tribune:

    The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill. Based in Tallahassee, this 2-year-old business tries to marry an upscale, sophisticated restaurant with wine, specialty pizza and ciabatta bread sandwiches in a family-friendly atmosphere. It features a kids game room, but in a back area so it doesn't dominate the restaurant, said company Vice President Carl Sahlsten, a former president of OSI Restaurant Partners' Carrabba's Italian Grill brand. Red Elephant opened a store in Tampa's Carrollwood area in October and plans to open up to four restaurants in west central Florida and north Florida this year, he said.

    This article from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune:

    The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill opened this week in University Park, the shopping center west of Honore Avenue and north of University Parkway. It will be open for lunch and dinner, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It serves pizza, salads, burgers, steak, chicken, mahi mahi and salmon. It is the seventh Red Elephant location opened by partners John Schrowant, a former Outback Steakhouse franchise owner, and Carl Sahlsten, former president of Carrabba's Italian Grill Inc. 351-4646. redelephantpizza.com

    While not the main subject of these articles, The Red Elephant receives the "significant coverage" required by Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline:

    * "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

    Cunard (talk) 17:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • These slight blurbs are routinely carried in local papers about local businesses. They establish that the business exists, that it serves lunch and dinner, and the sort of items it has on its menu. They aren't significant coverage either. One problem is that every local beanery gets a couple of these reviews and notices from time to time. It still doesn't make them something you'd expect to find covered in an encyclopedia. And FWIW, notability in Wikipedia has always had the "long term historical" part implied. "Historic significance" would have been clearer than "notability" IMO. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:09, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reviews suffice in establishing notability. This additional objective newspaper coverage is provided for Jerem43 (talk · contribs). I again note that Wikipedia:Notability represents community consensus, while notability in Wikipedia is merely an article. Wikipedia:Notability does not require "historic significance".

    If reviews and objective newspaper coverage do not establish notability for restaurants, what does? Cunard (talk) 00:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The comments you post are not establishing notability, just verifiability. Show me something about the company besides listings of its addresses and the approximate prices paid by the reviewer. To establish notability, you need something other than information that can be found in a phone book or travel guide. You need more, allot more. Look at TeaNY for an example of a article about a small restaurant that is notable. The two articles cited in that article state information about the restaurant beyond reviews. Those quotes you listed above are not ABOUT the chain in question. You need to find stuff that is not a parroting of information from the phone book (address, phone); average meal costs or type of food served (restaurant guide); its hours or who founded it (the company web site); Nothing in those tell us why the chain is notable. You have only established that the chain exists. You need to find something about its operations, its history or business practices. Find something about where it fits in its market segment in the pizza segment of the industry, how it is affecting its competitors or how it is changing the industry.
Try the New York Times or the business section of the Miami Herald and see if they have any information about the company. You can also also try Nation's Restaurant News. If you can find something in those sources, you will be able state that it is notable. I've looked, you won't find anything, of the 960,000 Google hits, the first 2000 are information on locations, the menu or reviews. If there were a viable, citable source in there - I can't find it. Foodservice is what I do on WP, and I can tell you that this chain has zero notability. Compare this article to Bertucci's or Pizzeria Uno and see the difference in the type of sources used to establish why these chains are notable and compare them to what you are using. You will see why and the Red Elephant is not notable.
Finally, WP:Note is a multi-page document that has several sub-pages that address certain situations that may arise. Basically WP:Org is PART of the notability guidelines, not a separate policy. As such you cannot pick and choose which sections of the policy you want to apply or claim that you do not accept it because it is on a sub-page of the notability guidelines. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 06:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • TeaNY has two sources: The first source, titled "It's a Teany cafe, and Moby likes it that way" and composed mainly of quotes, is primarily about its notable founder, Moby. The second source, titled "Disaster Report: Late Night Blaze at Moby's Teany", is a routine news report about a fire. The coverage in TeaNY is far inferior to the coverage in The Red Elephant. The Red Elephant reviews, coupled with the objective coverage I provided above, are sufficient to write a short article with information about its history and food.

    The New York Times and the Miami Herald, if they wrote about The Red Elephant, would likely do so in reviews, which you deem insufficient in establishing notability. However, it is unlikely that The New York Times, based in New York, would write about a chain based in Florida. That The Red Elephant is not covered in the Miami Herald and National Restaurant News, a trade publication, does not indicate that it's non-notable. Coverage in seven newspapers, consisting of five reviews and three objective articles, is sufficient to establish notability.

    Passing WP:Org is not necessary when WP:Note is met. From the second paragraph of WP:Note (my bolding):

    A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guideline below, and is not excluded under What Wikipedia is not. A topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right.

    However, I argue that WP:Org is also met. From WP:Org#Primary criteria:

    See also ... Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline
    A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources.

    I note again that the disqualifying of "routine restaurant reviews" section was added in without any discussion by Lambiam (talk · contribs) on June 20, 2011. Cunard (talk) 07:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There has not been significant coverage. You are confusing breadth of coverage with depth of coverage- there is no in-depth coverage of the company in any of the provided sources, whether here or in the article. Additionally, you are confusing the simple publication of factual information, such as address, as significant coverage. The sources you provide are not of a quality standard and article doesn't meet the established standards for inclusion in Wikipedia. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 10:24, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I find it mildly patronising to be told that I "can't have tried very hard to check its notability". I spent a considerable amount of time checking. And yes, I did find sources such as the ones that Hm2k has linked to, such as the one which tells us that Kerio has announced that it will "showcase" one of its products at some seminars, the one that announces that another company has signed a contract with another business to work together on some software, the one that tells us that a number of companies will be announcing new products at a Computer Security Institute show, and includes a brief mention that Kerio is one of those that will do so, and the other similar sources. However, unlike Hm2k, I don't think such write-ups of press releases about product announcements and suchlike constitutes substantial independent coverage. Any company which is good at sending out well-crafted press releases and does so prolifically every time it does anything slightly new will get many such write-ups, because journalists writing for trade papers and the like love those press releases: all they have to do is rewrite one of them in their own words and they have a whole article, without having to put work into going and finding information. This is largely how trade-journal journalism works, and for many of these trade web sites it is 100% how they work: that, together with paid advertisements, is all that they publish. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is also evidence of notability found in an array of popular print (books and magazines):

--Hm2k (talk) 23:15, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at all of those, and as far as I can see none of them gives more than the briefest of mentions of Kerio. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is more than a mention when the entire section is about Kerio, sure some are brief, not entire pages, but it is clearly more than just a "mention". --Hm2k (talk) 12:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is somewhat misleading to say "It has survived AfD before". It is more accurate to say that it was nominated for AfD, but the nominator changed his mind and withdrew his nomination shortly after making it. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:25, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How is that misleading? There was an AfD; The fact that the product is more notable than he had realised was pointed out to the nominator who, realising that he had made a mistake, withdrew the nomination. There was an AfD and the article survived it. The fact that the nominator withdrew did not affect the outcome. It just saved time. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since you ask, it is misleading because anyone who has not checked the history will be likely to imagine that the issue was discussed for a week and consensus was to keep. In fact, the discussion was open for a matter of hours, and we have no way of knowing what consensus might have been if there had been a proper chance for discussion to take place. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:39, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I know a web site that looks unreliable when I see one, but I can rarely produce evidence to support that impression. Having followed your wikilink to the Reliable_sources/Noticeboard archive, and then an external link from there, I now know that at least one of the sources is more than just unreliable: it is downright dishonest through and through. I wonder, what does it tell us about a business that it makes use of such scam websites to get coverage for itself? JamesBWatson (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You failed to take in to account any of the books or reliable sources such as this. --Hm2k (talk) 15:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's easier if you don't put the bulleted list inside your comments if you're going to do a whole swag, as people can then edit under each item, just saying. For example, if you want to respond to each of my points below, it'll quickly turn the page into a mess. Just saying. But on to the analysis of the sources:

  1. CNET/The Register articles: First of all, they are in the "news" section. This should already have the reliable sources danger sense tingling, because the vast majority of any online magazine's news section are repackaged press releases. Sometimes it's more obvious than others, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gargoyle Router Firmware for some really obvious examples.
    • Starting with the Register article: Grab a chunk of text, say "Kerio Personal Firewall will be re-branded on an interim basis as the Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall." Google it. Marvel at the number of times it appears, then notice that the very first post is explicitly a press release from the vendor. Compare texts. Make critical decision: Is this article truly independent?
    • The CNET article: First, note how many times "he said" or "they said" appear in the article... It's every single paragraph that is about this product. There is literally nothing in this article that is not a verbatim parroting of the company line. Do we even need to google to see that this is not independent coverage?
  2. The Microsoft press item: Even from the partial page that we can see, it's an item in a list, not significant coverage.

Seriously, this is a total drag for me. It takes waaaay longer to examine a source, make a critical decision about it, and then commit that decision to text than it does to go "Google->Books->Kerio" and paste formatted results here. As editors, we're expected to make this kind of critical decisions ourselves whenever we edit an article. Please don't view this as some kind of contest, where if the article get deleted someone "wins." Actually try and read what the other people are saying. These aren't actual articles written by actual journalists with actual independence. It's guys whose job it is to pay their dues by (mostly) repackage pre-cooked text and hoping to get a better gig later. It's a hard job, with massive pressure to produce, and one that I wouldn't wish on my third-worst enemy. But it's not anything like what is intended by "WP:RS."
Aaron Brenneman (talk) 13:51, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm drawing the line here. I'm satisfied that notability has been established through the reliable sources provided. If you want to discuss the case for each source you can do so at your own leisure, but until a decision is made for each of these sources, there is absolutely no way a deletion can be justified. --Hm2k (talk) 14:25, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence of notability. Of the thirty references, 26 are to Slide to Play's own web site; two are to the web site of gotoats, which is jointly set up by the publishers of Slide to Play and another business; the other two are pages at uk.gamespot.com, where Slide to Play is mentioned only in the "comments" section, which is effectively an open forum. (In addition, in one of those two pages, the mention of Slide to Play is introduced by the sentences "Hey everyone. My name's Steve Palley, and I'm the founder of Slide To Play.") That leaves no independent reliable sources at all. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article has been proposed for deletion and deleted in the past. The author of the article requested undeletion, saying (amongst other things) "It was an expired PROD, for having failed WP:WEB and WP:RS. I'd like to address both." However, they have made no attempt at all to address either. Their only edits in the 14 months since undeletion have been removing an external link to Slide to play's web site, and twice removing a ((Cleanup-spam)) tag. By no stretch of the imagination was that an attempt to address the reasons for deletion. More recently the article has been PRODDED again, but I declined the PROD because of the previous one. The reason given for the first PROD was "Fails WP:WEB Fails WP:RS", and for the second one "Not notable, every "source" links to the site being advertised here, and it's maintained by one of the site's editors."

The result was delete, although this will probably require some explanation. For the benefit of anyone wandering to this AfD after the fact, Ellen Kennedy is a Canadian actress who primarily works as a voice actor, providing voices and dubbing for foreign-language works and the like. The question is over whether or not she passes WP:NACTOR, specifically criteria 1, which states that a person is notable if they "[have] had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Those editors arguing for the article to be kept point to Kennedy's long string of voice acting roles, and the fact that she won a Jessie Richardson Theatre Award. Those arguing in favour of deletion state that voice acting does not on its own confer notability without reliable sources, and that there is no evidence that the Jessie Awards are notable, the sole citation coming from the Award's website.

The answer is to be found in the intention behind secondary notability guidelines such as WP:NACTOR. Wikipedia is built on the principle of verifiability, which is precisely why the general notability guideline and its subsidiaries mandate multiple, reliable third-party sources - the intention is to avoid having material that is not verifiable to such a source. If an article's subject is covered by third-party sources, chances are we can write an article in which every potentially controversial statement is verifiable. As well as these guidelines, there are also the secondary notability guidelines, such as WP:NACTOR. These operate on the principle that if someone is "important" enough, they will most likely be covered by reliable sources, and as such we should have an article on them and wait for additional sourcing to turn up. The question thus becomes whether or not voice acting is "important" enough that it will have coverage.

Keep commentators state that voice actors are not given the media coverage that they are due. This is fair enough. It also means that an article can't be justified under WP:NACTOR; secondary guidelines exist on the proviso that the person's role means they will, somewhere, be covered by the media or other sourcing. In the absence of such sourcing, and in a situation where even those in favour of keeping the article agree that sourcing is unlikely to turn up, such an article does not fall within the spirit of either the primary or secondary notability guidelines.

Disputed prod of obscure voice-actress. Her career to date seems to have involved mainly roles dubbing Japanese anime into English, and direct-to-video productions. Therefore no indication that she meets WP:NACTOR. No sources for live performance claims [stated in the article's lead], or any evidence (from Google News or Books) of any substantive coverage whatsoever.

  • Correction: the (voice) role of Kyōko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku was originally performed by Mariko Ishihara (herself not warranting an article). Kennedy only took the role in the English dub of the series -- and it is not clear that this derivative work is a "major series" in its own right. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 07:03, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wasn't aware that Wikipedia was considered a reliable source ;) Seriously, though, are you disputing the fact that she filled the roles in question? Because if not, I don't see that her presence in other articles is relevant. She clearly has had significant roles in multiple notable television shows, and is therefore notable. What part of that do you disagree with? Meelar (talk) 06:23, 12 July 2011 (UTC) P.S. If you think it would be best, we could put in cast lists on each show's page, but it seems a bit excessive.[reply]
  • No. As you can see from my above 'correction', I am disputing whether a role only in the dubbing of the original series into one non-original language (how many languages have they been dubbed into?) is a "significant role", particularly when that role appears to have garnered little in the way of notice on Wikipedia, or anywhere else. Given that selection for such dubbing roles generally appears to neither indicate that an actor was previously notable, nor confer as a consequence much in the way of notice, and thus notability, it is reasonable to question (or "dispute") whether they are "significant roles". HrafnTalkStalk(P) 07:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Obviously" Dream Focus is making it up as he goes along, as obviously there is nothing to indicate that the Jessie Award (whose article's sole citation is to its own website) has any particular notablity (even if it wasn't obvious that the claim that Kennedy had won it is unsourced). Obviously direct to video productions are rarely of any particular significance, and equally obviously, Dream Focus has presented no evidence that any of Kennedy's videos have been an exception. Dubbing roles are generally obscure -- as third party sources very rarely even mention them. Shorter Dream Focus: "Everything Is notable, in its own way." HrafnTalkStalk(P) 12:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Assume good faith and stop it with the personal attacks. If you bothered checking Google news archive search you will find that reliable sources do mention people being nominated or having won this award. They'd not mention it if it wasn't notable. [8] And you don't need others to tell you someone's performance was notable. They played a significant role in a notable production, then they pass the requirement for being a notable entertainer. Queen Genevieve in Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper for instance. Dream Focus 17:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No Dream Focus, mere passing mention in a relatively small number of publications does not make an award notable. Nor does your mere WP:ITSNOTABLE assertion make a direct-to-video production notable. And yes, Wikipedia requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" -- something that both Kennedy herself, and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper, both lack, "to tell you someone's performance was notable." HrafnTalkStalk(P) 18:15, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You regularly appear in AFDs like this where you argue with everyone else about what WP:ENTERTAINER and other guidelines mean, and yet everyone else still says Keep, and the article is kept. You do not need someone telling you someone's role was notable in a production. If the work is notable, then anyone who made a significant[9] contribution to it is notable. And if you doubt the award is notable, take it to the reliable sources page. Dream Focus 19:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I actually look at the sources, rather than simply saying WP:ITSNOTABLE (with or without an "obviously" tacked onto this assertion), as all-too-many-'keep'-!voters do -- yourself included. "You do not need someone telling you someone's role was notable in a production." So if we don't base our evaluations on reliable third party sources -- as policy tells us to, then what do we base it on? Divine revelation? Dream Focus's say so? And there is nothing to take to WP:RSN, as there is no source stating that "the award is notable". To paraphrase an old legal saying: 'if the policy is on your side, pound the policy, if the sources are on your side pound the sources, if neither are on your side then pound the table and state "obviously notable"'. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 19:26, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that if a work is significant, and the person played the lead role in a widely-seen official version of it, then they've played a significant role in it by definition. Many of the works cited here are significant; there are sources cited telling us that she did in fact appear in key roles in those works, which you aren't disputing; therefore, she's played a significant role in a notable work, and should be kept. Meelar (talk) 20:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Google news archive search for "voice actor" reveals 5,420 results. [10] Voice actors are covered for a number of things.
There are some people notable only because of their work doing voice acting for cartoons. It is a notable profession. The voices define the characters as much as the appearance. That's why some prefer buying certain series in their original languages and reading subtitles, because the voice actors are better. You can easily find reviews for a recent movie from Japan called Gantz which critics criticized the voice actors for doing a horrible job on the dub. Point is, voice acting is of course taken seriously by the industry and the news media. Dream Focus 05:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let us see, we have WP:GOOGLEHITS, an actor who had a considerable live-role resume (Pooh's Heffalump Movie was simply his "last outing") -- so is hardly indicative, an obituary in The Robesonian (hardly a prominent publication) and yet another obituary. In fact all the cited examples are obituaries. Would it therefore be cynical to suggest that the most prominent thing voice actors do is to die? An accomplishment that Kennedy has yet to add to her resume (and a reminder of a one of Martial's epigrams that I studied in highschool Latin -- You puff the poets of other days, The living you deplore. Spare me the accolade: your praise Is not worth dying for.). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 06:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't have to meet the GNG if it meets the other guidelines, thus the reason for their existence. Did you read WP:ENTERTAINER? Dream Focus 22:52, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, did you? While I can admire your passion, I'd highly suggest that you familiarise yourself with the guidelines and policies before referencing them, as you're totally shooting yourself in the foot here. The shortcut "WP:ENTERTAINER" points to a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (people). If we start at the top of that guideline and work our way down:
  1. At the top there is a big box, "This page in a nutshell." The first line of that box says "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
  2. The first section after the lede is "Basic criteria." That again states "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
  3. The second section after the lede, "Additional criteria," says clearly that "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included."
It does not require a close reading of the text to see that the primacy of the basic criteria casts its shadow over all the later, subordinate sections. The additional criteria are not intended and have never been accepted as overriding the general notability requirements. This is because the core content policies of Verifiability, No original research and Neutral point of view all require solid sourcing. Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia, and as such if there aren't sources we don't write an article.
Aaron Brenneman (talk) 23:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's never been how things have been done. I see you tried to remove a long established part of that. [11] I have reverted it of course. You are suppose to think for yourselves in these debates, and not just mindlessly follow the ever changing guidelines. A "satisfying explanation" is fine. And the core policies are obviously met. All information is verifiable, there is no original research here, and it is a neutral point of view. Can you find one example in the article that you believe violates any of these policies? Dream Focus 00:33, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ask me something hard next time.
  1. Wikipedia:Verifiability - ...material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source...
  2. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - ... all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.
  3. Wikipedia:No original research - ...must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

  • I saw those. I know, me = broken record, but that doesn't meet the general notability guide that requires significant coverage in reliable sources.

  • WP:ITEXISTS also "isn't a great argument". And that no reliable third-party sources "can be given for a student newspaper" probably simply indicates that student newspapers typically aren't notable.

No reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Only one of the sources actually comments on the product and it's on a wiki site, edm2.com, where even the byline of the "review" changes from one revision to the next, rendering it useless for establishing notability.

The way I read WP:LIST, a list should contain items with wikilinks--in the case of a list of books, those items should be notable books. That some of the books in this example are written by notable authors is not enough.

CommentWP does not follow strict precedent, which is a good thing considering that the results of AfD are sometimes very close to random.

Those searches are for "John Colbatch (apothecary)" (with quotes), so they only find those three words in that order, and not "Colbatch, John", "Colbatch, J.", "John Colbatch, physician" etc. Other than the Munk's roll and Dispensary reference given in the article, Colbatch appears in many sources. For example:
Colbatch is clearly a well-know physician of the 18th century, a evidenced by a large corpus of works, listed in multiple biographical lists or works, many contemporaneous, extemporaneous and current references, books still for sale, and academic papers written on him even in the last decade.

The result was keep. If there were copyvio issues, which I'm not seeing, I'd close differently. Writing what a source says, using quote marks and a source at the end of the quote, which I'm seeing in the article, is not a copyvio. Sections of the article which presently do not do this needs to be corrected, but for the main part it looks fine to me. Meets criterion one of WP:ANYBIO, with them receiving a significant honour (being knighted). This person is not one of such minor notability that publishing their date of birth is a privacy concern, and as it is public information presented in a reliable source is something I also took into account. All the concerns raised by the nominator have been addressed and refuted, so I'm closing this as keep with cleanup required.

I think WP:COPYVIO from Who's Who, which is listed as a reference but not inline refs. This is certainly in the style of Who's Who and certainly not in the style of Wikipedia, which prefers full sentences rather than bullet points. So calling out possibly COPYVIO, though I will do more fixup for WP:MOS etc if I am wrong. (Though if I am wrong, the original author should not have been so damned lazy .)

It also fails WP:BLP and by naming other living persons with personal information (i.e. their birthdates) also under UK law contravenes the UK Data Protection Act 1984, as amended, although of course Wikipedia is governed by California law, for the fact this man is of very little interest in the wider world I think this article better be deleted. I read the Law Reports in the Times every day, but I also read the weather forecast and do the crossword. That does not count as WP:N.

Domain dialing[edit]

Promotional material thinly disguised as an encyclopedia article. "Domain dialling" seems to be offered by only one company which is the ultimate source of all the references in the article and most of the hits on Google. Fails WP:RS, WP:SPAM and WP:N andy (talk) 22:36, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I've written in the page discussion, the article has many references from different sources, according to Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Then it's not a spam, because has several different and reliable sites as sources. Domain dialling was also a relevant subject on the ICANN 41 as the article shows. Andyjsmith (talk · contribs)'s argument is that the article refers to the company Siter.com, but the article is wider and chooses to talk about the technology domain dialing, not only on a company's service. This Wikipedia has many useless pages about biography of people who has a blog but with no encyclopedic relevance and now they want to delete a matter about technological advances on calling process and URLs. Very strange. NandO talk! 22:44, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is exactly what I mean about sources. The ICANN reference is based on a press release by Siter, from which it is clear that domain dialling was not on the agenda but simply that Siter hawked the idea around. In fact every reference that is currently cited in the article is taken directly from Siter press releases. No other companies are mentioned and no independent sources are provided. The article is blatantly spam. andy (talk) 07:09, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And "domain dialing" is even at Merriam-Webster Online dictionary. NandO talk! 03:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please address the issues: WP:RS, WP:SPAM and WP:N. In particular, where are the reliable sources and why is this notable under wikipedia guidelines? andy (talk) 22:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is an encyclopedia, not a directory of all things. If emerging technologies don't have references showing the notability of the subject, they aren't notable enough for Wikipedia. That's not to say that this will not be an article at a later point, but for the moment, it should not be. - SudoGhost 22:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It can not have a notable reference in English but as I've cited, it has in Portuguese: 1. And this kind of technology is also disponible in English so it's relevant in this Wikipedia. The three principles cited by andy (WP:RS, WP:SPAM and WP:N) are not enough to judge this case because it's a reliable reference. NandO talk! 06:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Emerging technologies" have no place on Wikipedia if notability cannot be established. Articles deleted can be recreated, so there's no need to keep "for future evaluation". - SudoGhost 19:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant delete because it seems interesting, useful, and likely that it will very rapidly become notable, but sadly does not seem to be at the moment. I've looked and failed to find any coverage of the subject which would make it meet the GNG. ╟─TreasuryTagdirectorate─╢ 21:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Relisting comment. I was about to punch this "delete" because at this point the arguments for deletion are slightly stronger but before it's closed it would be helpful if someone who reads Portuguese could do a quick google news search. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I've read the english sources, and it appears that "domain dialing" is not a technology, but rather a product. If it were an emerging technology that several firms were implementing, I'd go for Keep. But it looks like only a single company siter.com produces such product, which utilizes a large database that maps URLs (and location) to a phone number (possibly localized). --Noleander (talk) 00:57, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - WP:CRYSTAL] doesn't allow us to keep articles that "will be notable". Hasteur (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
