This club falls into exactly the same category as those discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Academy Cricket Club, which resulted in deletion and itself refers to other AfD discussions that had the same outcome. It plays at one of the lower levels of a provincial league in Ireland, the article lacks sources to qualify for WP:GNG and despite a long discussion at WP:CRIN about such clubs there has been nothing provided (so far) in this instance to further the possibility of it reaching either the GNG or CRIN criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia.

Non-notable release from a notable artist. Per WP:SONGS, a song which has not charted or received official awards and which has not been covered by several otger ntoable artists is not likely to be notable. In this case, there is also a lack of coverage from reliable third party sources. All in all there is a lot of trashy sourcing and speculation. e.g. comments like "from her second album" which are completely unsourced. It also repeats a lot of info already contained on the artist's page. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 22:24, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This one looks weird to me. There is a different article on the Achaean League. This article claims that the League was an early grouping out of which the Federation grew. On the other hand, the League article says that the league was a re-organization of an earlier, unnamed, grouping. To me it looks like a serious contradiction. Now, I tend to trust the League article more, as it has more references and they seem more authoritative; I've also known about the League for... like forever, while the Federation I just heard about. So, I propose to delete this article, maybe salvaging whatever bits of information that are unique to it and incorporating them into the League article.

OK, I agree that the Federation might be another term for the League (note though that your search returned 18 references, not all relevant). On the hand, I searched Google Books for League and got a lot of results: (~ 2000) [6]. Worse, in my opinion, is that the current Federation article apparently misrepresents the League.

The article is a hoax. The full name of the team (Futebol Atletismo Sociais de Timorense) looks like a bad machine translation, and makes no sense in Portuguese, the article says that the team will compete in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2 (second level of São Paulo state football), instead of competing in the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão (lowest level of São Paulo state football), as it should be, and the page also says that if the team does not reach the Série C or Série D in five years it will be expelled from the Brazilian football, but that is not how Brazilian football works (check Brazilian football league system to see how it actually works. Besides all that, the only webpage I found about this club is a wordpress blog page, created by some account named "andy1890", which is a similar name to the author of the article, who is named "Andy4190".

The same problems still exist from the last AFD, only there has been no progress on the article. Those specific problems are ones that can't actually be addressed, meaning this article can never be completed. The biggest issue is the scope of the article. Aside from the poorly-defined "late 2010", I find it difficult, if impossible to try and define "global storm activity". There is no rhyme or reason over what storms they include (and in fact flooding isn't even a storm, per se). It tries to be too broad, but it fails at covering anything properly. In cases where there is already an article on the storm event (such as 2010 Thai floods or Carmen (storm)), it copies the info from those articles, often going into far too much detail than would be needed for a broader article.
The article seems to be a depository of random weather events, not nearly the "major" events it says in the lede. Let me point out:
I could go on. I ask, to anyone who would want to keep the article, how could such an article ever be complete? Weather is happening constantly around the world. If one person gets killed in a storm, that doesn't necessarily deserve mention (see WP:MEMORIAL). Most importantly, I want to emphasize that the article is in violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, in that Wikipedia is not Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics. I would say a list of weather events certainly falls under that.
I'd like to point out a similar AFD for this year's global storm activity article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested proposed deletion. Rationale for deletion was: "Non-notable youtube series. Article is entirely plot, all citations come from Wikia or creators sources themselves. A search for sources gives no results for this series, although the creating group do get a few mentions in PC Gamer - But no mention of this series from what I have looked through."
Prod was contested by User:Moomoohk with rationale: "There is no primary source of information on this show anywhere (as far as i know). Wikipedia is as good a place as any. I would also consider a very notable series with thousands of viewers worldwide"
As no sources have been found/added with the removal of the prod, I am listing this at AfD.

To reiterate a quote from the talk page:
I agree. Mason invented the Xanadu House, a specific example of a hi-tech house, and promoted it via his 1983 book. The promotion was picked up at the time and mentioned in a few places, including a business publication and apparently was promoted as a tourist attraction. However, there is no evicence of an enduring effect of the Xanadu House concept. Are there any mentions in architectural reviews? Any recent mentions that the Xanadu House plans are even remembered? Is it still a tourist attraction? Are the three houses still standing? I have modern architectural reviews of the period that do not mention it. The two "Further reading" books appear to deal with how technology affects the economy, rather than addressing specifically the effect of Xanadu House.
I agreed with Mattisse in 2009, and still agree today.
Looking at the keeps from the last AFD, one thought that the subject was notable because the subject's book was in the Library of Congress, which is fallacious on its face. The others were two WP:ITSNOTABLEs and a WP:PRETTY from an editor with a long-standing vendetta against me. Also, I think the last AFD was swayed because the article was ranked as FA at the time despite being woefully lacking. As a result, I procedurally withdrew the AFD and took it to FAR, where it was demoted.
However, there hasn't been an iota of improvement since it was demoted. Almost all of the article is sourced to the architect's own book. Sources #7 and #13 are tangential mentions in the subject of something greater — #13 gives two whole sentences. I couldn't find any better sources. The article has been tagged since August 2009 for primary sources. It's still completely devoid of non-trivial secondary source coverage, because none EXISTS.

This Kesen dialect seems to be a conceit made by a docotr named Harutsugu Yamaura.

Every single citation is of one of the doctor's books and the external links seem to lead to commercial websites. The dubious nature of this article was noted back in 2008, but the Wikipedians around then simply moved it from "Kesen language" or something like that to its current location, and the article is still written as if it were an independent language. This goes against WP:NOTE and the "reactions" section might violate WP:OR.

Greetings! I am the Marketing & Social Media Coordinator / Writer at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center (MMC), Conemaugh Health System in Johnstown, PA. Our intern, Jim, has been in contact with you regarding removal of the Conemaugh Health System wikipedia page. Upon his arrival at MMC, our new Vice President of HR created the page in order to provide general information about our organization to Internet users. However, no content was added. Our intern was then given the task of creating a simple, yet informational, page on the links that had been created. For weeks, we have had difficulty adding and editing content to a public domain -- receiving notifications that we were violating copyright laws and could not post our content even though it was 100% original, factual and contained no marketing terminology or tone in its content. I also attempted to post information, and after completing all but 2 pages, was informed that the pages were all deleted -- and was blocked from the username I had created.
Due to the extensive time we have spent on this with no success, we ask that you please remove the Conemaugh Health System page and all its links from Wikipedia. While this is a public domain open for all to post, we cannot allow (potentially) false information to be posted about our organization by outside users. As we do not have access to appropriately change the information if necessary -- and keep running into obstacles trying to post information -- we would be unable to maintain accurate content about our organization.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at svarmeck@conemaugh.org.
Thank you. --StacyVatConemaugh (talk) 14:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again. Thank you for responding. The creation of the Wikipedia page was not done through the Marketing Department at Conemaugh as I mentioned in my original message. As the new Social Media Coordinator / Writer, I hesitantly agreed when given the task of adding information to the site. As a recent undergraduate and graduate student, I have always been informed and taught by professors – and business professionals in the community – that Wikipedia should never be cited or used in any type of research paper or publication as the information cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate or factual due to the open public access for editing. I do not know anyone who uses the source or uploads to it so I was not aware of content that can and cannot be uploaded. I apologize for the confusion; I simply did not give investigation of this information time nor priority. Therefore, while I assisted in guiding our intern to add content to present factual information, it was not my or our company’s intent to make this an ongoing project. The goal was to simply add a few factual statements as the page was already in place. I apologize that the edit you made a citation of slipped through my radar. Our intern was given the task to write a few simple factual statements to upload – I had not realized that he was using promotional phrases. Thank you for your time. No further action needs to take place regarding the deletion of this page. --StacyVatConemaugh (talk) 17:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable. Mesoderm (talk) 10:04, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The result was delete. Esssentially a promotion article, almost G11; minor importance only. The arguments for keeping is that support for veterans is important, which, however true, is irrelevant DGG ( talk ) 03:08, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Non-Notable Person. Its nice that he's an advocate for veterans and that he had a distinguished career in the military and was a New Jersey State employee and worked for the Township of West Orange but that does not make him notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia and honestly he is not really known outside certain realms of New Jersey.

In addition to his documentable success in various and sundry initiatives to serve and honor veterans, Mr. Englert has appeared in news reports and programs on every major (and lesser) television network in the New York metropolitan area, he has been quoted extensively in The Star Ledger (Newark, NJ), as can be confirmed in its archives:

Unreferenced claims of winning national or world championships are made, but no reliable references are able to be found, let alone significant coverage in independent sources, so fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. The-Pope (talk) 13:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The result was delete. Consensus was that being on televison was insufficient proof of notabilty absent coverage from reliable sources. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 14:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't even attempt to demonstrate any notability beyond the fact that he has a job that puts him on TV sometimes. Every GNews return I looked at just mentioned his name as a reporter. I didn't see anything that was significant coverage of him as a person. Would have to say he fails WP:CREATIVE. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:31, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Independent band of dubious notability. Some coverage from local blogs, but the "good reviews from national music magazines" is just one online blurb. Little coverage of this band found in independent reliable sources - most search results are about the Sun Kil Moon song they took their name from. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree most search results are for the Sun Kil Moon song and not this band. However, this is because the song has been in existence for much longer than the band has. This only means the Sun Kil Moon song is more notable, not that the band is not notable. In addition to the Sun Kil Moon song, searching for "carry me ohio" on google returns multiple links to lyric sites with the band Carry Me Ohio's lyrics on it.
I agree the only online citation from national music magazines is an online blurb, but it was also in the paper copy of the magazine. Reviews have also been included in paper-only magazines and are not linkable online. Rparkbco87 (talk) 21:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A google search of "carry me ohio" returns in the top results the band website, facebook page, and links to lyrics sites (songmeanings.com/songlyrics.com/lyricsfreak.com/mp3lyrics.com/etc) which have the band's lyrics on them. Regards, Rparkbco87 (talk) 21:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reed doesn't meet notability guidelines for college athletes as he's never won any national college football awards or set any NCAA Division I records but has set records at San Jose State, according to his official biography. Furthermore, Reed lacks national media coverage for his athletic career but has had local media coverage [22] [23] [24] [25] Andrewlp1991 (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No notability. Nothing on Google search either. Most of the text and references seem to be copied from other articles such as Model (person) and Koena Mitra. -Managerarc™ talk 21:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is written like an advertisement and there is nothing to suggest any relevance of the subject. Therefore I think it should be deleted :) 11coolguy12 (talk) 13:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for nominating it then :( but it should really be cleaned up 11coolguy12 (talk) 11:41, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
