Article about an actress that does not have any reliable sources, specifically IMDB is not a reliable source.

  • Response How is this obvious? How do I know that "Japan Probe" and "ejje.weblio.jp" are reliable sources? Looking for Japanese-language sources is fine, I suppose, but since I (and 99% of other readers of en.wp) cannot comprehend Japanese at all, these are marginally useful sources at most.

The result was no consensus. Although the article has not mentioned it, the sources indicating possible fallout from this incident does lend some credibility to the argument that coverage is beyond "mere news". The option of merging with the airport is not entirely unreasonable either. There is no general agreement here, but since alternatives to deletion have some support, I see no consensus for deletion.

I'm not trying to suggest that the article wasn't created in good faith. I simply think that the author of this article saw the article on the LOT flight created (it was created first) remembered this incident, and assumed (in good faith) that it was notable and so created the article.

Thanks for explaining your reasons, and please be assured the work you did on the article, which is actually well done, is appreciated.

WP:AIRCRASH is the relevant essay. Generally, for an accident to have a chance of sustaining a stand-alone article, the airframe needs to be written off (there are some notable incidents where the aircframe was not written off though). For other major incidents, it generally results in coverage on the aircraft type, airline, and airport (if appliccable) articles. In this case, it would seem to be sufficient to give the accident such coverage. Mjroots (talk) 06:52, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete; falls short on notability. bobrayner (talk) 09:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those are good points. When I !voted to merge this article JetBlue Airways Flight 292 did come to mind, and although there was arguably "more" coverage of that incident at the time, that article probably shouldn't be in WP either. An article on the effect of sanctions on parts for commercial airliners in Iran is, I think, possibly the best way for information on this incident to be presented, maybe something similar to 2006–2007 Brazilian aviation crisis. Cheers! LoveUxoxo (talk) 23:14, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've brought it up on that article's talk page. LoveUxoxo (talk) 00:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thank you Russavia. I would draw attention to the Washington Post story (I couldn't access it before), apparently filed 11 days after the event by their Tehran correspondent. Yes, "continuing" and "international" coverage. Still, I'm going to keep my opinion as "Merge" - I'd still be happier with not losing any of this information, but in an article of wider scope. It looks like this AfD is closest to "no consensus", which doesn't make me sad at all, especially if editors want to try to run with it for a while. JetBlue Airways Flight 292 was nominated for deletion twice [5] [6] and survived, but I think 5 years after the event there is interest now in changing that. No big deal if this is the same way.

Although tragic, this aircraft crash is not notable by Wikipedia standards. First off, it clearly fails to have continuing coverage, or widespread coverage outside of narrow circles (i.e. accident databases). In addition, the relevant notability essay here is WP:AIRCRASH, which for aircraft of this size, suggests that an accident is notable if it involves somebody notable enough to have their own Wikipedia page (fail), or, failing that, if they have all of the below: people killed in the aircraft or on the ground (check), hull loss of the aircraft (check), and changes to procedures and/or regulations (fail). Given that this article, based on that, is likely not notable enough to be included in the Pilatus PC-12 article, the fact that it fails overall notability makes the existiance of a standalone article doubly unnecessary.

The preliminary report was interesting to me personally, but I still doubt that when the final report is issued that notability will be established. Again, I'd shade it to being close/borderline (for instance, the wreckage recovery operations from the ocean I think are indicative that the accident is being treated with more attention from the authorities than most civil aviation accidents).

Questionable notability of an individual. Of the references, three mention "fatboy" and don't even use his real name, nor are they of sufficient depth to support a biography. The fourth is of decent depth from the Moviefone blog. No other reliable, verifiable sources found- see this google search. I'd link to the news search but it retrieved zero results.

Ultimately, Bobby Roberts is a radio host, the host of a local trivia night and blogger. The radio show was deemed lacking in encyclopedic merit, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cort and Fatboy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Cort and Fatboy Show, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cort Webber.

Further, it's been a source of frustration, as there are a lot of sockpuppets and meatpuppets every time the topic comes up. tedder (talk) 17:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm aware of the past problems but would like to do what I can to make this article worthy of Wikipedia. Roberts, who does often operate under the moniker "Fatboy," is a noteworthy and well-known media personality in Oregon. He and his radio show have been mentioned numerous times in area publications. I can track additional citations, if need be, but shouldn't the Moviefone article be enough? As it stands, there are many other media personalities who work in Portland with similar pages that are in worse states. They lacks sources and information. Anyway, please let me know what it would take to make the article work. Cheers. Amstelontheriver (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it certainly sounds unappetising (per nom). But let's see what we can find and then make our minds up:
Smoke Bomb by Peter G Gosselin, 11 March 2011 - review of Parker-Pope's book Cigarettes: Anatomy of an Industry from Seed to Smoke (certainly not a self-help book, and not part of her column either). Gosselin writes "a useful guide to the world's most lethal legal industry, and to efforts to reduce the carnage at a time when globalization is extending opportunities for self-destruction through smoke to billions." The review is in the New York Times - impeccable source, but of course Parker-Pope's workplace. I suggest it is allowable as a reliable source here as the NYT and Gosselin cannot risk their reputation for a colleague.
There are many NYT blogs and letter also about Parker-Pope but I am unsure about citing them.
The Week 29 July 2009. "After watching the latest Harry Potter movie, I have to ask, “Does Hogwarts have a drinking problem?” said Tara Parker-Pope in The New York Times. Unlike in previous Harry Potter movies, alcohol has a “starring role” in “The Half-Blood Prince.”" A reliable source; the article has a jokey feel but a serious message, and Parker-Pope is treated as a source worth quoting.
ON LINE opinion, Australia's e-journal of social and political debate 22 July 2008. "According to Tara Parker Pope writing in the New York Times, American pediatricians are recommending wider cholesterol screening for children and more aggressive use of cholesterol-lowering drugs, starting as early as the age of eight, in the hope of preventing adult heart problems. This has followed guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics which also calls for children to be given low-fat milk after 12 months of age. The academy estimates that 30 to 60 per cent of children with high cholesterol are being missed under screening guidelines and that statins or cholesterol-lowering drugs, may be their best hope of lowering their risk of early heart attack."
Dissident Voice, a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice by Michael Dawson, 15 January 2009. "As reported by The New York Times’ excellent health columnist Tara Parker-Pope, all use of cellular telephones while operating an automobile — in both “hands-free” and hands-on forms — is as dangerous as drunk driving, research announced today shows. That means many thousands of people in the USA and around the world are being killed each year by the public’s continuing toleration of this ubiquitous practice."
Arizona Daily Star 9 December 2005. "...and trigger a brain-chemical release that stimulates a "shopping high ," health writer Tara Parker-Pope said in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal."
Los Angeles Times: Health 8 May 2010. "One of the perks of being a journalist is that it can give professional license to explore subjects of personal interest and to knock on doors closed to most people -- all in the course of doing your job. Author Tara Parker-Pope has made the most of that opportunity with her excellent new book, "For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage.""
I think that's probably enough to say KEEP - there are plenty more citations about Parker-Pope available from good sources, even if we discount the many by other columnists in the NYTimes itself. WP:AUTHOR asks us to check "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." - Yes, she is, definitely. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've now added a Bibliography section to the article. Update: and inserted these (sample) references into the article, with inline citations. If this still isn't enough, userfy it for me and I'll work on it some more - there are dozens more quotes I could cite. Seems she's very highly regarded by her colleagues.

Unification of gravitational force and strong force[edit]

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

No evidence that this is anything other than an idea dreamt up by the author of the article. The author actually said on the talk page "i am trying to give a new way of thinking about the gravitational force and strong force before the scientific community as well as the general public". No source anywhere supports this. There is an attempt to make it look like an argued-out theory, but in fact it is nothing of the sort, as it simply uses vague wording that does not in any way explain the completely ad hoc summoning up of formulas from nowhere. (For example, "For general consideration we need to do necessary adjustments to equation (2) and so we can re-write the equation as..." with no explanation what the "general consideration" is, nor how or why that "consideration" leads to the equation that follows.) The author of the article says "If we treat other fundamental forces in the same way, grand unification will be very easy". I wonder why so many thousands of physicists have struggled for decades, trying to find a solution to this problem, when achieving one would have been "very easy" had they followed this line. What a pity that the author of this aricle has not given a clear enough account that we can actually tell what this new approach is, what it means, or how it can be applied. What a pity that no sources anywhere that I can find support these vague and inexplicit claims. To say that this article should be deleted because it is original research would be to stretch the meaning of "research" almost to breaking point. (Note: I declined a speedy deletion. The article is utterly useless, and deserves to be speedily deleted, but unfortunately it doesn't satisfy any of the speedy deletion criteria, though it comes close to ((db-hoax)).)

I have now found and added as references a complete article on the company in Süddeutsche Zeitung (1, sadly paywalled) and a couple of substantive mentions in Die Welt (2, 3), plus an op-ed there by Hans B. Bauerfeind himself (4); there are also articles on him and the company in Frankenpost, which is a primarily local newspaper but not a Thuringian one. And the company owns a hotel that has made a splash. This meets the standard for national coverage; and I was able to add one non-PR mention in a US business publication.

  • If you click the link to Google Scholar at the top of this page, the very first hit is a 2005 book chapter by Dehaene that has been cited over 700 times (and book chapters normally get very few cites in this field). Dehaene and Changeux are prolific authors, but I don't think they have published 700 articles since 2005, not even together. Ss surely you don't want to argue that these are all self-citations? These two people are among the most highly cited neuroscientists. Changeux is listed in ISIHighlyCited.com. Just have a brief glance at Jean-Pierre Changeux and Stanislas Dehaene. According to the Web of Science, Changeux has been cited almost 50,000 times (h-index of 113) and Dehaene over 18,000 times (h-index of 74). These are not people that engage in excessive self-citations. --Crusio (talk) 09:51, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Their work is, in general, well-cited, but very few people apart from themselves seem to refer to the "Dehaene-Changeux Model(s)." The 726 citations is not to the paper introducing the "Dehaene-Changeux Model," but to follow-up work: it is not the case that the model is being cited 726 times. And I'm not an expert in this area, but it seems the "Dehaene-Changeux Model" discussed in that chapter might be a different model from the one the article is talking about: it seems to me that Dehaene and Changeux collaboratively produced several different models, and that this article is conflating them. -- 202.124.75.21 (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)— 202.124.75.21 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Please refrain from commenting on other editors, that is not productive. Concentrate on their arguments instead. As for deletion, the way this debate is going, I'd be baffled if this would be closed as "delete". --Crusio (talk) 09:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I find it very productive actually: it is important deletionists face their responsibility and realize the full extent to which they place a de facto entry barrier to knowledge on wikipedia by forcing an article to be perfect upon first delivery. The whole point of wikipedia is to allow unperfect primers to be published for the collective intelligence to improve them bit-by-bit later on. Consider the Mzoli's jurisprudence on this, the article turned a very good one although its primer was of course extremely bad. So I sure "forgive them; for they know not what they do" but they need to have their eyes opened as to the consequences of their decisions. As George Patton said "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty". Such is the definition of emotions: "what moves you". Cheers --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 10:38, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Persistent ad hominem remarks will eventually get you blocked from editing. And apart from that, undiscriminating railing against "deletionists" is not productive. Some people are more inclined to !vote delete than others, there is room for legitimate differences of opinion. But even the most ingrained "deletionist" will !vote "delete" from time to time, because some content we get here is clearly non-notable even upon first delivery. To weed out "false positives" we have mechanisms like WP:PROD and WP:AFD, so that before an article actually is deleted, the community can weigh in and, if possible, provide arguments to avoid deletion. If you want people to listen to you, you will have to present your arguments calmly and without "playing on the man". If every time somebody disagrees with you, you start screaming "deletionist", "non-expert who doesn't know what he's talking about", "uninformed judgment", and whatnot, you will in the end find out that your opinions will not be taken very seriously. Just some advice, you're free to take it or not. --Crusio (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • you exagerate my position here; besides my comments where not ad hominem but ad populi. Giving metacritics is not my systematic attitude, and you haven't discussed my arguments: de facto speedily rejecting stubs puts an entry barrier on wikipedia, we cannot deny that.

I do not know whether 202.124.73.63 is correct in saying that the contributor confuses two terms, but if he does, he needs to address that. I would however like to point out that while the article may be about work in neuroscience, that work in neuroscience appears to have important implications for cognitive science, an interdisciplinary field where the authorities may be a little hard to come by, especially on writer in a different language. But the article should be added to the portal for computer science. Artificial intelligence would be better if there is a portal for that. Also philosophy or better yet epistemology. (Again, if there is one...). Maybe linguistics if Chomsky is citing him. Maybe education since one of his books is about learning mathematics.... so... guys. Duuuudes. Chill.
I just want to say that the fact that I don't quite understand the article as it is today does not mean that its topic is not notable. The same is true of you. I once watched a 60 Minutes interviewer jeer, yes, jeer at Eric Drexler, clearly thinking his tin foil hat was screwed on too tight. But twenty years later, we ALL know what nanotechnology is, even that interviewer. Well, maybe that interviewer, snicker. But sure. The article needs work, and the reader should not have to impute the importance of its topic. But we All that. I can't assess the science. But -- I took a very quick look on Google. I found this: an article than has been cited more than 200 times. That usually means that people in the field think it's authoritative, or at a minimum, worth debunking. There are many others - that's just the one I grabbed from a two-minute google. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0010027789900061.
Wikipedia.fr seems to think Dehaene is notable btw, look at this: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislas_Dehaene.
They have him categorized as a mathematician, interestingly. I don't have time to translate just now, but the page indicates that he chairs a department at a university that looks important, and belongs to some academies that look pretty mainstream. So I don't think he is a whacko. Noam Chomsky, a well known and even famous linguist, cites him here: http://books.google.com/books?id=G0lJqbM15gsCs. Several times, even. Chomsky doesn't seem to quite agree with him, though -- a super-fast skim gave me the impression that he thinks Dehaene represents conventional wisdom, and interprets his data too narrowly. Just an impression -- I could be wrong. But a further indication that he's not a wild-eyed fringe wingnut.
My fast fast assessment is that Dehaene in and of himself likely meets 1, 3 and 5 of WP:SCHOLAR and maybe some other criteria as well. Just one criteria is potentially enough, right? And I didn't even look at the other scientist, nor the specifics of the model. But I saw enough to make me say we should at least not rush to judgment. Some of the problem may be a language barrier, maybe? If so, I am willing to pull in and translate some French language material. But I have other stuff to do and have already said I'd help rewrite a software topic that's been edited into incoherence in a similar dispute. Let's not be those people. I'm leaning to "not notable" in that case, incidentally, so don't think I am just tender-hearted ;0.
I have a couple of thoughts for the original contributor but I'll do put them in a new section below below as they or may not be pertinent to the topic and don't so much apply to notability. I'll take a stab at improving the categorization somewhat. I would appreciate it if someone could add it to one or more of the portals I mentioned, or point me at set of instructions. Thanks Elinruby (talk)
Realized later that I did not quite spell out my logic, which is that if Dehaene is notable, it's not incredibly unlikely that a model of his (assuming accuracy; I realized that that's been questioned) would be notable in itself. And the article is only a few days old. Table for now, is my thought. If it's abandoned as-is six months from now I may have a different opinion.
  • Comment The reason that you (and, for that matter, I myself) disagree with this nom is not sufficient grounds for calling into doubt the motives behind this nom. Please assume good faith. --Crusio (talk) 16:25, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see as where he mentioned their motives at all, just stated the three word nomination was faulty. Nominating something for deletion, means you want to erase/delete it. Dream Focus 16:43, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • To me saying "n to erase information entirely from a digital encyclopedia" implies an assumed intent to damage this project. That's not the same as deleting content that does not belong here. Every day people create articles like "Joey is cool". You're certainly not implying that we should keep this information about Joey. So proposing articles for deletion is in and of itself not an activity damaging to the project. Insinuating more, is calling somebody's motives into question. We don't do that kind of things here. --Crusio (talk) 18:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Demonstrate that these are errors then. The Brain is a decentralized swarm of neurons and glial cells with an evolving connecting rule, synaptic lability and possibly neural darwinism with self-organized patterns being determined as early as through the waves of spontaneous activations in utero. The DCM is merely a set of I&F neurons which are connected in a decentralized way in an attempt to have the set display holistic, self-organized behaviors. since I&F are integrative units they are intelligent. Since there is no rule defining the group behavior while it is composed of intelligent systems it is a Multi-Agent System. Since neurons are programmed in a decentralized way and with a connection rule (just like fish schools by the way) they constitute a swarm. Some neural networks can be multi-agent systems, you have not demonstrated that the two sets do not intersect (and you will not actually). I thus challenge your statement and beg you demonstrate it. --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 11:36, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
references and proofs. So far you said I was confusing a MAS with a neural network. This is like saying I am confusing a square with a rhombus. the DCM is a neural network which is also a MAS and a Swarm, just like a square is also a rhombus.

Cheers --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 11:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible to have a MAS containing one or more agents which are neural networks; but individual neurons are not agents. You appear to have misunderstood the literature in that list. I suspect you might perhaps also have misunderstood the Dehaene-Changeux literature, because the phrase "Dehaene-Changeux model" has been used for their Wisconsin card sort model as well as for other work. If those different models are fundamentally the same, the article should justify its title by explaining why. -- 202.124.72.1 (talk) 14:05, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is why we require references from secondary sources and can't rely exclusively on primary sources or the opinions of the editors themselves, in relation to contentious facts. In general, when the addition of any contentious fact is disputed and no secondary sources can be found to back up the claims of the fact, said fact is removed until it can be verified. Unlike a court of law, the burden is on the individual who is introducing the fact (or the article) to demonstrate that the information can be verified by an outside, reliable source. But that is really an issue for the talk page of the article, not here at AFD. This is another reason the article is problematic as it has been shown to have no secondary references, thus every addition or change has the potential to degrade into a pissing contest. The sources you provide may or may not prove your point on one singular fact, but are not relative to the notability of the article itself. Again, please take this type of content discussion to the talk page of the article, it isn't related to this AFD. Dennis Brown (talk) 11:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but is the numerosity model referred to in that paper the same as the model described in this article? -- 202.124.73.39 (talk) 07:28, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not. The PLoS paper from which the diagram in the article was taken confirms that this model is different from the other models ("In previous neuronal modeling studies and computer simulations, we illustrated the possible contribution of spontaneous activity to tasks that involve a random search, such as the learning of a temporal sequence, the search for and selection of the correct rule in the delayed response and Wisconsin card-sorting tests, or the discovery of a multistep solution in the Tower of London test.") Most of the citations listed by "keep" !voters apply to those previous models, not to the model described by the diagram in the article. -- 202.124.73.2 (talk) 08:26, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I currently have no time to check that PLoS paper myself, but the phrase you cite does not in any way indicate that a different model is being used. All it means is that in that paper this model is either described or expanded upon. It doesn't say anything like "we abandoned that model and developed another one". --Crusio (talk) 10:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dehaene and Changeux do explicitly say in the PLoS paper that, although they build on past work, the model in the PLoS paper is a new one. The article would be a clear "Keep" if it was about their work generally, since it is notable as a body, but at present the article relates on conflating different things. -- 202.124.73.69 (talk) 02:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A businessman. It is hard to understand what he is/does because the article is purely promotional and full of puff. No independent, reliable sources in the article or that can be found.

Is this magician sufficiently notable? Nothing here indicates that she is. A Google search doesn't show definite notability, as far as I can tell. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 23:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of undecided, to be honest. A quick search did bring some links up but many of the links are either stories where she's one of many mentioned or they're pages that were probably created by Chen or at her request. I'm going to link the best of the things I found here so they can be weeded through. I'm leaning towards not notable and delete, but I wanted to list there here anyway. [15], [16], [17], [18], [19].

Only two hits in Google Scholar for this and zero in Google Books. Does not appear WP:notable. Most of the references cited are not about this procedure. Only one wp:primary source appears to be covering it. Uʔ (talk) 21:31, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit I was unsure of it when I moved it out of [{WP:AFC|AFC]], I wasn't aware of WP:MEDRS though.--SKATER Is Back 22:03, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's kind of a mess-- neither does it appear notable, nor does it appear that any sources deal directly with it, much less in secondary reviews as required by MEDRS. I guess it should be a redirect to Tomatis, but that is a redirect to the man-- probably because the whole thing is kinda bogus-- but there might be another target article if anyone can identify it. The dates on the alleged sources are another clue that this is going nowhere, as well as the fact that most of the sources cited are by the "inventor" of the notion, and at least ten years old-- no other significant mentions. This is a redirect, to somewhere. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:41, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If I understand WP:MEDRS correctly, in order to be mentioned in a medical Wikipedia article this procedure must have been discussed by at least one wp:secondary source, even briefly. It's not clear that even that has happened in this case. A redirect with no mention in the target article is probably not a useful one. Uʔ (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, after more research, I think this is a delete. The primary author is chunking in a lot of general text, non-specific to this topic but general background info and poorly sourced at that, but there is still nothing of note (that is, not related to the fellow who coined the term) that I can find under any of the names given for this business. I can't find any target redirect, and can't think of what it would be (but if someone finds one that rolls this whole bogus idea and all of its names into one article, I'll reconsider). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still a delete; although the primary editor continues to plop in sources that aren't directly related to the topic, I still haven't found any indication that it is a notable or enduring practice, and don't think even a redirect is needed-- it's just not a term anyone is likely to ever search on.

Future album without a reliable source. We really need a speedy delete category for this. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Amazon is not a reliable source. Also, this isn't about whether the album will or will not be released, it's whether the article indicates and reliable sources for that information. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Forgive me, but I'm not sure what point you're arguing here. I listed five separate sources that gave the same release date for the album. The band is notable. Their six previous albums are notable. The first single from the album has already charted on Billboard. I don't think it's a huge stretch to assume that this album will be notable as well when it's released in a month.
  • Comment Here isn't in the article since the article still doesn't have any third-party sources the article may still be deleted. Also, your five sources are not all reliable. Just because the band is notable doesn't immediately confer notability on all of their works.

Alternative solution: Temporary redirect to the band's article until sufficient sources can be found to make the article notable by itself. Spidey 104 02:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - There's nothing presently in the article that can't be replaced. If sources are found, and there will be sources immediately before and after the album's release, it can be recreated. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Remember here isn't the article. Please add your sources to the article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - According to what documentation or policy? In all of the future album AFD discussions I've participated in, demonstrating notability in the discussion was sufficient and the articles were kept even though they weren't improved or updated. Fezmar9 (talk) 00:16, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Wow, you've gotten off easy then. The issue is that the article doesn't demonstrate notability. Until it does, it can be deleted. Maybe in other future discussions, someone's put your found sources into the article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:42, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. That is wrong. Articles are not deleted if sources can be shown to exist even if those sources are not immediately added to an article. See WP:BEFORE: the crucial wording of which is If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Eluchil404 (talk) 09:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Thanks. That's from WP:BEFORE, but this is not before any longer. The article must be updated. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:45, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I don't delete an article in such circumstances and don't know of any administrator who would. And if I saw such a deletion occur I would take it to WP:DRV where it would be resoundingly overturned. There is no 'must' or time limit to update the article. See WP:DEADLINE and similar pages.

Angolan Consulate General, Houston[edit]

Angolan Consulate General, Houston (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article does not meet the GNG - there is not significant independent coverage of this topic in third-party, reliable sources. Of the sources listed in the article, 4 are the embassy itself (not third-party), 1 is a map that verifies the consulate exists, and one, a NYT article, it focused on the city of Houston and links with Africa in general, with only a few sentences that mention this consulate. That is trivial coverage at best. Karanacs (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nominator. Karanacs (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The last bullet isn't even referencing the consulate. In that one four-page article, there is a sentence that verifies that Angola put a consulate in Houston, and one saying that EDI Architectchure designed the offices and what they look like. The article is ABOUT the "ongoing trend in Houston's international relations"; the consulate is simply one example used. I classify that is trivial. I also couldn't find any other independent reliable sources. Karanacs (talk) 15:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take a look at the example used by Wikipedia:Notability#Notes:
"The one sentence mention by Walker of the band Three Blind Mice in a biography of Bill Clinton (Martin Walker (1992-01-06). "Tough love child of Kennedy". The Guardian. "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice.") is plainly trivial." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1992/jan/06/usa.martinwalker
Let's look at the significance of the "jazz band" thing on the article itself. The article doesn't mention the jazz band as being a significant turning point or being a significant effect on Bill Clinton's life.
While in the article, the Angolan consulate is seen as a significant escalation of Houston's diplomatic relations with Angola and other African countries.
WhisperToMe (talk) 15:06, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with you completely - it's listed as an example, not a "significant escalation", as you put it. Some of the other examples given got paragraphs more coverage and a lot more text on their importances. If you want to nitpick, the guideline also says "The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally expected." The depth of coverage here is tiny and I haven't seen any other coverage in independent reliable sources. Karanacs (talk) 15:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see. The Angola Press says:
"Angolan Consulate Highlights Country's Challenges for Development." Angola Press. 7 November 2006.
"All Africa" is a website that houses news content from many sub-saharan African publications.
The Angola press site is at: http://www.portalangop.co.ao/motix/pt_pt/portal/capa/index.html
WhisperToMe (talk) 15:20, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide access to that article? I can't see the full text, and the synopsis makes it sound like the article is discussing a speech an official at the consulate gave about Angola, not the consulate. Karanacs (talk) 15:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let me post a Wikipedia:Resource request for it. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Wikipedia:Resource_request#Angola_consulate_of_Houston WhisperToMe (talk) 16:06, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, WhispertoMe, for finding full access to that so quickly. I read the article, and it says nothing about the consulate - it's a brief description of a speech about the Angolan economy. Karanacs (talk) 19:57, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable edition of Shakespeare. DePRODed with the comment that a merge to Howard Staunton, who is named as the editor, might be appropriate, but it seems that this is not Staunton's book but rather a recent publication that happens to use Staunton's edition (and include the commentaries and illustrations of other authors and artists who likewise did not actually produce this book).

Meaningless drivel. References in article are mostly dead links, not a good thing for an article which has only existed for barely more than a year. Even if the topic were encyclopedic, it's yet another article which treats professional wrestling as if nothing which took place prior to 1996 matters (see WP:RECENT). To give an example putting it into proper perspective - The Rock 'n' Roll Express and The Midnight Express were still having matches against each other nearly a quarter century after the heyday of their feud, but aren't listed in this article. In comparison, the Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett thing has been going on for what, two years, maybe? Just because someone can watch it on television now doesn't necessarily make it encyclopedic versus any other event. RadioKAOS (talk) 15:10, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Professional wrestling. I believe that's the best solution in general to these sorts of halfhearted attempts at a sidebar to a major article. Once the community of authors at any large article conclude that there is sufficient high-quality material for a separate article, they will split it out, usually after considerable discussion. Also would support outright Delete. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a more appropriate redirect would be to Feud (professional wrestling), which appears to have much the same content as this article. This article is another example of what I see on occasion: create another article with duplicative, gratuitous mentions of high-profile and/or recent events, while OTOH, properly covering the breadth of the topic would make the article a little too unwieldy.RadioKAOS (talk) 02:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All but two references are credits databases, which do not indicate notability. Of the other two refs, one is a Wikipedia article (i.e., an inappropriate ref), and one is a store blog interview. --Nat Gertler (talk) 05:19, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
the interview is not a store blog, its a well known music conference / production website, of the database listings, allmusic & albumcredits are of the upmost highly noted credit sites on the internet. i will take off the wikipedia reference now... how many people must i get to vote "do not delete" until the page is validated, i know many others who would agree that this article is wiki worthy.
There is no set "vote count"; you should read the page on WP:CONSENSUS to understand how decisions are reached on Wikipedia. You should not be reaching out to people who you think will support your opinion -- see WP:CANVAS to understand those guidelines. And the question is not one of the quality of the databases, but that listing in a database - particularly a good (i.e., comprehensive) one - does not connote notability. They can be handy for showing that someone did something specific, but not that that makes him particularly worth of attention. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected on "store blog"; I misread the site's description of "production shopping experience" as being where producers do shopping, rather than where one shops for producers. However, a single interview, particularly on a site where they are selecting interviewees from among the site's members, is not a sufficient indication of notability. Again, review WP:NMUSIC for guidelines of what denotes notability in musicians. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:33, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with that thought; after that, we should also check to make sure that the people left are actually family members; just because they share the same last name doesn't necessarily make them closely related. A quick look through seems to show that there will be enough left for a valid article. Also, a quick glance at the history seems to show an awful lot of IP additions; it may well be that once this is cleaned up, we can 1) semi-protect the article, and 2) add an edit notice to both the article and talk page that clearly indicates that the page requires all listed people to have an article or a ref verifying the office held and that the person is related to others in the same family (try editing List of shopping malls in India for an example). Assuming this is kept, I am happy to help with the editing, although it may take me a bit to get to it. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is tagged for copyright infringements; it's already reported in Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 October 19. With the article short right now, this is the 2nd nomination for the article as AfD. Right now, this character is not notable. Probably he was in the 1980s to promote awareness of drug addiction, but this article does not receive interest from casual editors and experienced Wikipedians. Even those who dedicate soap operas did not address the problems of copyright infringements that I have seen lately and did not have interests to prove and establish this character's notability. Right now, I cannot propose a merge to either List of All My Children miscellaneous characters because of recent reports of copyright violations or List of All My Children characters because it is a brief list with inadequate summaries.

Delete There is nothing notable about the whole article, the main article it is attached to lists a few examples from fiction in order to demonstrate Bootstrap paradoxs, but this child article is just a list that serves no purpose than a reposistory for fandom to put everything they can find into it, I might as well start a list of "real world cities referenced in fiction" it would be equally useful/pointless and would be equally endless for no apparent gain Jasonfward (talk) 01:32, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure the topic is notable, and the main Bootstrap Paradox article covers that, so why is a huge list that will grow forever and increasingly irrelevant examples of any use? Jasonfward (talk) 09:57, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe what Im reading here, Wikipedia is not an encyclopaedia of everything, the article you refer to is illustrated very well with many examples already, I just don't see how there is any need at all for a place for fans to keep adding more, how or why is an ever growing list of examples from fiction in anyway noteable Jasonfward (talk) 10:01, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One of the meanings of "encyclopedic" is "comprehensive." Provided this is limited to notable works of fiction that make some substantive use of this paradox (i.e., not a mere reference or disposable Family Guy-style cutaway gag), then it's not only a good complement to Bootstrap paradox, but an index of articles that make use of the same concept. I see no good reason not to expand that from the few examples given in the parent article, because this isn't so commonplace as to make the list completely trivial, indiscriminate, or meaningless. postdlf (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I just don't see how the article contributes anything, it neither explains the paradox, its too long to illustrative and I cannot for the life of imagine how anyone would find the article useful, it is as far as I can tell, just a place for fans to post their latest spot of the paradox in their favourite fiction, nothing anyone has said here addresses why or how the article is notable at all, and right now I really don't think it is. Jasonfward (talk) 18:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Usefulness would be to an author, trying to create a new form of the paradox; a list of forms already used would be very useful. htom (talk) 23:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those arguing to redirect apparently agree that the subject does not merit an article, and so deletion is the only remaining option. Note that the sock votes, including the nomination, were not considered when making this determination. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:40, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copying over the following from the other deletion discussion I opened at the same time with the same problem): I just want to clarify on (at least my interpretation) of how lists work. We can have lists about "things of type X" in the real world. We cannot have "lists of articles about things related to X." The former is an actual list of content; the latter is solely a navigational aid, a kind of crude table of contents. I have no problem with lists that duplicate categories; I have a problem with lists that are "self-referential". As far as I can see, nothing in our policies covering lists allow us to have any type of article titled List of articles about .... And it shouldn't. We have so many different ways of categorizing information, both reader-facing (lists of topics, portals, outlines, glossaries, overview articles, dab pages), editor-facing (Wikiprojects, noticeboards), and dual-facing (categories, and the search box)...why do we need, in just a select few instances, yet another type of organizational tool? It's simply the mark of a bad product to have too many different organizing schemes. More than one is good (I'm thinking here of how a textbook has a ToC, an Index, and a glossary; or how help for Microsoft products has a search box, a glossary, and an Index); too many is redundant. Too many guarantees that one list or the other isn't fully updated. Too many guarantees that one list or another gets to be used for POV pushing (consider the problems with had with Ethnic categories and Wikiprojects aggressively pushing themselves onto articles). Maybe I'm raising issues that go beyond one (or two) deletion discussions, and need to be raised in a larger forum. But I think that we have to consider these things as we make these individual decisions. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Hot 100 number-one singles of the 2010s (U.S.)[edit]

This article is all repeated information. There are already long-standing number-ones lists, for various countries and several U.S. Billboard charts, that are arranged by year (most notably Template:USNumber1s). This does nothing but combine 2010 and 2011 together. Looks like incorrect use of decorative flags (WP:FLAG) and an ongoing, unecessary tally of current pop artists at the bottom. There really is no need to have this article in the encyclopedia when we have this data elsewhere. If anything, attention should be made to improving the by-year lists already in place. - eo (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article, basing it partly on the similar series of articles for the UK Singles Charts mainly because in my opinion there is substantial advantage in presenting all this data in one table in a more reduced manner in order to enable our readers to go over a much larger amount of data faster and have the capability of sorting all this data automatically and quickly. In addition, in my opinion this article has also a substantial advantage in that it also contains various statistics for the entire decade which is not available elsewhere in Wikipedia. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't see the advantage. The UK lists are the only ones (to my knowledge) that group things by-decade, as opposed to by-year. The colors, the flags, the tables, the statistics all seem excessive, unnecessary and against WP:NPOV. A simple, neutral layout with a week-by-week table has been in place for years now, with most recent years (approx. 2000-onwards) having a concise intro paragraph and a few small images added to the top of the article. I think we need an enhancement to the 1940-1999 by-year lists rather than yet another way to present the same information. - eo (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Userfy. I see nothing wrong with a combined list for decades like the UK ones, but this should be done through discussion.

It's a complete duplicate. Both show when the song went to number one, in what order, how many weeks it was at number one, and who performed the song. If one is updated, the other would have to be updated with the same exact information and would most likely use the same exact source. Although, the newer 2010s list doesn't even source any item in its list (except one to verify a Britney Spears credit). --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 08:02, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actor/director who might reach Wikipedia's notability threshold someday but isn't quite there yet. The article was tagged as a BLP-proposed deletion but that was removed after the addition of a couple of references. I disagree with that move: one of the references is to the subject's website while the other is to a fairly shallow interview on an Indiana Jones fansite so neither qualify as reliable sources. I found two other interviews online ([37] and [38]) and here also, I don't believe this should be considered significant coverage in reliable sources. Mr. Kleyla's career as an actor is not significant since all his roles were very minor (some are in fact uncredited). He has also directed a feature film (The Road to Canyon Lake) which, as he put it himself, was shot on a very small budget. As far as I can tell, the film was not distributed in theatres. He has also directed a feature documentary about Indiana Jones fandom which, again as far as I can tell, was never widely distributed. All in all, the subject fails to meet both the general notability requirement and the actor-specific one. Pichpich (talk) 22:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Redirecting "Brandon Kleyla" to Indyfans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory seems reasonable. I am not a huge proponent of redirecting people's names to articles about group projects like films (group members redirecting to band names or the like, though, seems fine and different somehow); the search function will bring up the article anyway without the implication that the person is so much associated with the project. But this film really is mostly his (written, directed, edited, etc.), so the redirect wouldn't be misleading or do any other harm. I would still delete the current article first, though, and then create the redirect because so much of this is unsourced, possible BLP material (though not negative, it doesn't seem). Novaseminary (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm basically ok with that compromise. (See Michael's talk page for what still bugs me) I also agree that the article should be deleted first and then redirected.

Chicago Tribune - Jan 26, 1957 -"A Canadian pointer owned by Richard Papa of Toronto won the national amateur shooting dog championship today. Tyson's Sky lull Flash. a 6 year old, ..." (google cache text)
and a whole lot more entries in newspapers from 1957 (The Baltimore Sun), 1920 (Schenectady Gazette) "Dogs, Birds Poultry . of genuine Saskatchewan Canadian pointer pups, natural mothers for fox or rabbit.", ... these certainly can't be from Wikipedia, and they certainly aren't newly-invented. Whether "Canadian Pointer" is a generic description or a known breed is beyond my knowledge, but we can't dismiss it so hastily. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:30, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I am sure that neither the article, nor this AfD, nor my own web searches have unearthed the substantial coverage from reliable sources needed to satisfy the notability requirement for an encyclopedia article in WP. A couple of points:
  1. There are plenty of false positives in the Gnews searches. One of the biggest causes seems to be bad OCR misidentifying articles containing "Canadian painter", e.g., here and here.
  2. The real breed of dog, while often referred as the English Pointer, is actually called just "pointer"--see Pointer_(dog_breed)#Name. The effect of this is that there will be plenty of false or ambiguous hits that reference a pointer that happens to be from Canada. Take your first example, from the Chicago Tribune. The NY Times item on the same story calls the dog a "Toronto pointer". The Sports Illustrated version identifies the dog as just "pointer" and the owner from "Toronto".
  3. I can't actually find the 1957 Baltimore Sun item that you mention. I will concede that the Schenectady Gazette link is likely to be a real hit, however (a) it is a solitary classified ad--hardly substantial or WP:RS, and (b) the phrase "cheap to introduce the breed" and its date, 1920, is perfectly in line with the picture painted by the Canadian Pointer article itself--that a small group of enthusiasts attempted to develop a new breed "in the late 19th century", with their attempt ending in failure when the "American Kennel Club...refused to recognize the Canadian Pointer" in 1937, and forever afterwards, or so it (mythically?) says.
  4. If anyone can find substantial coverage from reliable sources, I will be happy to look again. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
