Unlike Karesi, this Ottoman province is mentioned in several sources so it's pretty certain that it did exist, but it was for just 4 years, in the late 16th century. It was one of about a dozen provinces created in the 16th century that existed for a matter of months, but it's the only one to have its own article. It's unlikely that we'll ever have enough material about it to keep it as an independent page, so I suggest redirecting it to Szigetvár#History. eh bien mon prince (talk) 23:38, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This (Sigetvar Eyaleti ) was a short-lived eyalet.

Just because it's notable doesn't mean that it should have a separate page, especially since there's so little to write about it.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 03:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Abkhazia, Akhaltsikhe, Dagestan, Dmanisi, Ganja, Gori, Győr, Kakheti, Lazistan, Lorri, Moldavia, Nakhichevan, Poti, Sanaa, Shemakha, Szigetvár, Shervan, Tabriz, Tiflis, Wallachia, Yerevan, Zabid. All of these eyalets exist for some months. But out of all of them, Zigetvar is the only one with a separate article about it, the rest are redirects. Panonian, how would you expand this article? Can you prove that it can ever be brought beyond stub level?--eh bien mon prince (talk) 15:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
comment — this isn't a convincing argument for deletion. see WP:OTHERSTUFF. anyway, if what you wanted was a redirect, you could have just done that by ordinary editing without bringing it here. deletion will destroy the edit history of the page. perhaps you should consider withdrawing your nomination and making the article into a redirect, and then if editors who want to write more about it show up later, they can resurrect it. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 15:52, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merging is a legitimate result of an AfD, it doesn't have to be deleted - maybe Short-lived Ottoman provinces would be a good idea to have? It could pick up all of those redirects. I picked one at random and found Shemakha Province, Ottoman Empire points to Shamakhi Rayon which doesn't even mention the words "Ottoman province" or "eyalet", so it's a bit unclear as is. A summary article with a proper collection of links and context would be preferable. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But we should merge this article with what exactly? It is bad idea that article about province is merged with article about city and there is no corresponding modern region that have same or similar territory as this province. There is simply no proper similar article that could be effectively merged with this one. PANONIAN 20:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge it into the more generically named article. Later, other analogous content can be added to that which would not be subject to deletion either. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that might be good proposal. According to older version of map from Euratlas site that show situation in 1600, Zigetvar eyalet had more-less same borders as Kanije eyalet (which is shown in newer version of same map - I have both map versions in my computer). This indeed might be same eyalet that changed name. PANONIAN 04:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious how you went about determining that coverage in local media is the same, more or less, for other candidates? Ottawahitech (talk) 13:24, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All coverage that I could find in independent sources was basic news reporting on his candidacy. Per WP:POLITICIAN, merely being a candidate does not imply that the person is notable enough to merit an article. I did not compare the subjects coverage to other people in the election; we use external scales to judge notability rather than comparing an article to other articles. VQuakr (talk) 01:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We don't keep articles just because the topic is in the news or because someone thinks the article's existence furthers a worthy goal. I agree that Wikipedia suffers from systemic bias. Compromising our notability standards is not the way to correct this. Lagrange613 (talk) 05:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ottawahitech, your talk page shows that you've been concerned about how comprehensively Ottawa elections are covered for at least four years. Some things haven't changed in that time - Wikipedia is still not a news site and still requires other sources to cover a person or event first. Wikinews may be a better place for you to improve the coverage of these elections, which understandably don't get a whole lot of reliable coverage outside of the province itself.--~TPW 01:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So my question is: how many links does it take to make a person notable enough for Wikipedia? Ottawahitech (talk) 04:00, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The answer is that Google hits do not confer notability. Lagrange613 (talk) 05:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tens of thousands of google hits are not significant when considering notability at Wikipedia? So what does? Ottawahitech (talk) 13:07, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at the general notability guideline and then the notability guideline dealing specifically with people, which reads, in part, "Avoid criteria based on search engine statistics". Lagrange613 (talk) 16:11, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you are referring to Wikipedia:BIO#Invalid_criteria then I do not see the relevance to Randall Denley. He is not famous/infamous because he is related to someone else, nor is he part of the adult film industry. Also is this of interest Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Precedents/Archive#Does_955_Google_hits_and_some_media_attention_merit_inclusion.3F_-_Yes
Ottawahitech (talk) 16:52, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm referring to the entire guideline; I quoted the second bulleted paragraph under "Invalid criteria", not the first. The "Common outcomes" page is inactive and retained only for historical reference. Consensus on notability has shifted in the eight years since the discussion you're referring to, as evidenced by the links I've provided specifically refuting the argument that Google hits impute notability. Lagrange613 (talk) 17:05, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying that the PC party is not notable? Ottawahitech (talk) 13:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is a page for all candidates in the election here. I'm not sure how that relates, though, since notability is not inherited.--~TPW 22:33, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does not conform to the WP:Notability standards set by Wikipedia. I do not think that someone's portrayal of a minor character that lasts about a minute in the whole movie is appropriate for a full Wikipedia page. Anonywiki (talk) 21:15, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment — i'm with Pburka on this one. it isn't the character that's notable, but rooney's portrayal of the character in the film. thus, as lousy as it sounds, i think that the current name for the article is the correct one. right now, a search on "I. Y. Yunioshi" leads to exactly what it ought to lead to, which is this article, the film, the portrayal of east asians, and lastly the story by capote. perhaps a dab page is in order, but i don't think that the issue is pressing. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 15:39, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How about a less clunky Mickey Rooney as I.Y. Yunioshi? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:29, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think we can just do I.Y. Yunioshi. The article can be about the film character with a note in the footer about the novella having a character with the same name but in a completely different role (as a Japanese photographer). I think I saw in one of the sources that the film's Yunioshi was based on a non-Asian character from the novella but was changed. In short, all the coverage talks about the film's Yunioshi and not the novella's, so we don't have to disambiguate with "Mickey Rooney as" or with "(film character)". Erik (talk | contribs) 16:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How does it meet WP:GNG? At least one of the "citations" listed there is a link to a review of the film that happens to mention "racist" and mentions nothing about any protests. This is all it says: "For an overtly racist Orientalist representation in American film, see Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)." Another so-called citation was an article that had this in it: "Mickey Rooney's Mr. Yunioshi, Holly's landlord, was a cringe-inducing stereotype.", and those are just the first two I went to. Ironically when I saw the term "angry asian" I thought it was referring to the protestors. Protests occur all over the world for many different reasons, they don't all demand a Wikipedia page of their own. Typically only protests involving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people get Wikipedia pages. And how many people have gone on hunger strike protests in the world? It strikes me as being very Western-centric and propagated by a few people, which is what we don't want on Wikipedia.
So I don't understand how it fulfills the WP:GNG criteria, in particular the links to movie reviews and articles that mention the alleged racism are ridiculous links. There are people protesting all the time, people setting up groups on Facebook, people who climb trees to save the planet, they do not all deserve an individual Wikipedia entry. Maybe it could be listed in a page entitled something like "protests about American films" in addition to being merged with the main article.
And if the page is about the protests, shouldn't it be entitled something more like: "Protests over Mickey's Rooney's portrayal of I.Y. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's"? We're not discussing all aspects of his performance, just the controversy over it. I also think the page is quite offensive to a lot of people, Mickey Rooney himself has been deeply hurt by the allegations. Anonywiki (talk) 23:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
CommentAnonywiki, you say " people who climb trees to save the planet, they do not all deserve an individual Wikipedia entry" yet we've had an article on Julia Butterfly Hill for nearly seven years. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 00:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
comment — (also to Anonywiki) whether or not it satisfies gng is related to the sources available, not to the sources in the article. admittedly a number of those are problematic and should be removed, but a simple google books search shows that there are many reliable sources which discuss rooney's portrayal at great length. these, along with the multiple reliable sources in the article, are what shows that this satisfies gng. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:48, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, WP:NRVE states "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation." WP:Notability makes no demand that the available sources be immediately IN an article, only that the BE avaiulable. As multiple sources have been offered, we have a meeting of the GNG, whether or not the improvable article has made use of them or not. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment towards User:Anonywiki: If there is a reliable source that indicates Mickey Rooney's response to his portrayal of this character, it would be an excellent addition to this article. Can you provide the source? This article could grow into a very interesting page showing how the portrayal of racial stereotypes have evolved over the years since this film was produced.

This person played in a Brazilian soap opera for about 7 months. Although the program has its own article on the Portuguese Wikipedia, Ferreyr does not. Beyond that, the only thing she appears to be notable for is being Soros's girlfriend and suing him. The rest of the material in the article, to the extent it's even notable, is unsourced.

  • Sources. The sources were removed for reasons and were spelled out in edit summaries. businessinsider.com is NOT a reliable source. Most of what it reports is derivative of other unreliable sources. IMDb is not a reliable source. The Brazilian source said virtually nothing. The other sources are either still in the article or something like them are still in the article - there are tons of sources about Ferreyr and Soros and the lawsuit. Indeed, that's about all there is about her period, at least in the English-speaking world.

IMDB is not a reliable source when it comes to biographies but it is a VERY RELIABLE SORCE when it comes to proving work done in the entertainment industry extremely accurate and it was included to prove her work in the Soap Opera Marisol. Business insider IS A RELIABLE SOURCE if this is not the WHAT IT IS. These were written by PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS THAT HAVE TO OBIDE TO THE RULES OF THEIR PROFESSION.

In my opinion Business Insider is not a reliable source. It is a gossip site headed by Henry Blodget, who was banned from the securities industry by the Securities and Exchange Commission. He has carved out a niche for himself with a website that is tabloid journalism for big business. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another of the bi cites was for her playing in the McDonald's commercial, and it says the bottom of that web page that the source is IMDb. Ditto for the starting of her own charity.

  • Delete Article. Not notable. Has acted in 1 non-English language television programme at the age of 19. Has done nothing in the 9 years since.

Marisol (the remake) does not even warrant any information on IMDB. Unlike the original of 1996 its IMDB page does not have 1- storyline section 2-did you know section 3-FAQ section 4-any user reviews.

The cast is stated alphabetically. To see Ms Ferreyr you have to actually click the "see full cast" link. Usually on IMDB if a cast member is a star they head the list. The show managed to gather 16 nominations to a Brazilian Awards Show. Of the several nominations available for the female cast members,Ms Ferreyr was not selected. The show won no awards.[1]

The only news links associated with the show's IMDB page are those of the Soros / Ferreyr legal situation.

  • Keep. Notability can be inherited. It is one of the ways of being or becoming a notable person. Look at Price Williams, Princess Diana, Wendi Deng, Monica Lewinsky, Princess Catherine when she was dating Prince William, Pippa Middleton, Prince Harry, The girlfriend of Russian billionaire Alexander Abramovic Dasha Zhukova among others. However Ms Ferreyr has been notable enough without her relationship with George and prior to the law suit. This page has been up long before the law suit and there were no problems before-- she was considered notable enough by consensus. Strange that only now with the law suit this has become an issue.

There's nothing "strange" about it. Information about the lawsuit was added to the article, but improperly, which was then raised on WP:BLPN. After I had cleaned up the article (not completely, actually), I decided she was not notable and nominated it. As with many BLP articles I review as a result of BLPN discussions, I'd never heard of her (or the lawsuit) before.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:48, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amazingly enough, the ones from the past month all mention Soros. That is in the realm of the obvious.

Keep/merge all The Channel 4 shows are based upon polls and so the rankings are not creative in the sense meant. The 100 Greatest TV Moments example just list the top ten and so this is a fair use summary of the most significant part of the results. The main issue, to my mind, is that there are numerous clip shows of this kind and so there's some scope for merging our coverage. For an example of the notability of this phenomenon see Consuming history: historians and heritage in contemporary popular culture. Warden (talk) 17:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to a footnote at WP:NFC: "... polls are likely to be protectable as well because the parameters of the survey are chosen by those who conduct the polls and the selection of respondents indicates 'at least some creativity.'" The same text recommends that polls be accompanied by critical commentary so as to meet the criteria for fair use. Keeping these separate articles doesn't seem to be an option - the majority are full or partial reproductions of polls without commentary, which seems to violate the fair-use principle. Perhaps fleshing out the main 100 Greatest/100 Worst article with a handful of results for each programme (Top 10? Top 5? Top 3?) and critical analysis from book sources - therefore a partial merging - would be an acceptable compromise. SuperMarioMan 19:33, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That footnote on Unacceptable use, Text example 5 was added March 2011 following discussion at WT:Non-free content/Archive 51#A little different question. The discussion and the footnote state that it is advice from the "Wikimedia Foundation's associate counsel". Flatscan (talk) 04:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not buying the footnote. This seems to be copyright paranoia which has been added to the guideline recently and does not represent settled policy. What it suggests is that we'd have to delete lists like List of number-one country hits (United States) because these are based upon Billboard's "creative" selection of country music. I do not believe there is community consensus for this. Warden (talk) 22:52, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Problems with that argument:
    1: the Billboard chart is "calculated weekly mostly by airplay and occasionally commercial sales". In other words, List of number-one country hits (United States) is a compilation of hard statistics based on actual events (plays and sales). The Channel 4 shows were based on loose polls of opinions of people who felt like voting and there is no way of independently verifying how much input Channel 4 themselves had in the final results. Therefore, the two cases cannot be compared.
    2:That argument in general seems like WP:OTHERSTUFF.
    3: It is my understanding that copyright rules (which, after all, are based on the law) over-rule any consensus/settled policy/personal opinions that may (or may not) exist. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 01:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Looking at a more current case, the process was that a panel of experts selected a short list of 100. This was then voted upon by an online poll and an opinion poll conducted by the polling organisation ICM. The results of the two polls were then combined and the experts broke the ties. I'm not sure that the process is significantly different in the case of record charts, so far as copyright is concerned. There's a process of expert involvement there too - choosing representative sources and determining genre classifications. Neither of these seem very creative. They seem to be more sweat of the brow in nature and this is not a copyright consideration in the USA, where Wikipedia is based.
  2. WP:OTHERSTUFF is very relevant here because it's not a single article that has been nominated but a big bundle. It is therefore appropriate to see what else will be affected by this broad brush action.
  3. The support for this action is WP:FU which is a guideline not a hard policy and so has a fair amount of wiggle room. Fair use is, by its nature, a matter of compromise and discretion not an exact rule or law. I don't see how it makes any sense to say that we can summarise the plot of a story like Harry Potter or report who won the Oscars but that we can't summarise the findings of a Top 100 poll like these. What's the difference? Warden (talk) 15:37, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Wikimedia Foundation's attorney was approached about this matter when a similar list was brought to the copyright problems board, and her expert opinion is quoted liberally in that footnote. I had been working on a guideline at the time we received her recommendation (User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists), but it has not been completed because I could never launch a community discussion about how to handle it. People don't generally like to talk about copyright concerns. Previously, we had always felt confident with limited selection of much larger lists, such as the 10 out of 500 listed at The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, but she expresses some concern that the top 10 are the most commercially valuable part of the list. Time 100 is an example of such an article that does not reproduce the list at all, but it is easier for that list to critically discuss contents because it is variable. More information on what she recommends in terms of handling these can be read at Wikipedia_talk:Non-free content/Archive 51#A little different question and especially the subsection on "Attorney feedback." --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I thank you for the feedback. I'm extremely interested to see the result of this AFD as it seems a clear precedent may well be set.
My interpretation (and I'm open to correction, naturally) is that these articles would only be acceptable if they were not lists but rather objective analyses of the subject matter (based on coverage and commentary from reliable sources) that contained a few references to poll positions (no pun intended) as part of the overall evaluation. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 01:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is a fair summary of her position. Based on her feedback, I would say that the specific article in discussion here makes a poor claim for fair use, as there is little transformative about it. Actually, in the version tagged for deletion, there was no critical commentary whatsoever; the only possible appeal to our readers is the list, which would supersede the original. It is only the top 10 of the list, but, again, our attorney points out that the higher numbers are the more commercially valuable. That said, I have just noticed that the only critical commentary that existed was removed without explanation at the time that the list was truncated from complete to the top 10, here. While not restoring the full list, I've brought everything else back. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are also called s-chairs or s-sofas, which are more sensible redirects. Unless someone can come along with an authoritative source using this name for this chair, there's no reason to have this article. freshacconci talktalk 21:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK. Now I got it. Googling "confident + chair" came up with results, none of which were relevant. And yes, the photo gave me the impression the article was about a different chair. Thanks for the clarification. freshacconci talktalk 23:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This topic does not appear to have sufficient notability to merit an article. Google books hits 0, Worldcat hits 0, Google scholar hits 1, JSTOR hits 0. The topic might merit a brief mention in an article on calendar reform. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, maybe others have a different idea of a "reliable source" from me. I had some idea that "academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources [...] in history, medicine, and science." I note that alf.laylah.wa.laylah has kindly classified this discussion into the science category. If this was a notable scientific topic, it would have received attention in scientific peer-reviewed journals. It has not (the school magazine of Dr. Bromberg's university, while undoubtedly an academic publication, is not an academic journal). Ergo, it is not notable. Or at least is not notable enough to merit an article; Calendar reform#Proposals is probably a good place for it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
comment — the specific notability guidelines don't override the gng and this article, in my opinion, meets that guideline. the fact that it's not discussed in scientific journals, if true, would be because calendar reform is a political issue, rather than a subject of scientific investigation. the scientific problems of calendars are generally well understood by this point. i transcluded it over there because it seems like people who are interested in this kind of thing might watch that list, not as a comment on the suitable notability guideline. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - no-one is suggesting that we are about giving this school an Internet presence. The point being made is that because of Indian schools' poor web presence Google searches are well nigh useless in finding sources. Time needs to be given for local sources to be researched and added. It is is not possible to say, at this time, that the school is not notable - only after local sources have been researched can we say that. Experience indicates that high schools throughout the world, each of which are a major presence in their communities and directly affect thousands of lives, are notable. If this school was located in the US, because of the good Internet coverage there, there would be no suggestion of deletion. Attempting to delete based on web searches is an example of systemic bias, and this should be avoided. When, as here, an article is on a likely notable subject we don't delete; we tag and improve over time. TerriersFan (talk) 00:08, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The previous AfD resulted in a no consensus. Despite the time given since the previous AfD, the article still has no reliable secondary sources independent of the subject that provide analytic or evaluative claims about the fictional character himself. All that the article has are sources that talk about the real-life actor, such as sources mentioning that he won an Emmy for his performance and sources providing a biography of the actor, which are more appropriate for the actor's article, or sources about the series in general, where the character is only mentioned as part of the plot, still nothing to presume that the fictional character is notable beyond the plot of the series. Because of this, I still see no evidence that the character meets the general notability guideline as a stand-alone subject since there is no significant coverage of the character in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. The article itself provides mostly a summary-only description of a fictional work about the character, and this is combined with a small biography of the actor, which is not the subject of the article. The article does not provide a single reliable secondary and uses instead a fansite and tertiary sources to barely reference the character from a plot-only perspective. The bibliography section of the article also doesn't provide secondary sources for the character, and none of the sources in all the article provides reception or significance for the fictional character from a real world perspective, only from a plot-only perspective. Removing the content that is more appropriate for John Hillerman's article, like John Hillerman and Simon Brimmer, and removing the unsourced material, like the Higgins and Ian Fleming section, the character can be perfectly covered in the main article Magnum, P.I.. As it is, this article is an unnecessary split that does not meet the general notability criterion or any other the specific notability criteria, and, therefore, should be deleted as it is still a redundant content fork of the main article. Several search engine tests done now and during the previous AfD, do not show anything to presume that the fictional character is appropriate for a stand-alone article.

The lede of WP:SIG begins, "Signing your posts on talk pages, both in the article and non-article namespaces, is a good practice, and facilitates discussion by helping identify the author of a particular comment."  The words "significant coverage" do not appear in a search.  FYI, Unscintillating (talk) 01:20, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This got me wondering what WP:SIGCOV or WP:GNG says. Here's a quote just so we know.
'"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."
plus
"Examples: The 360-page book by Sobel and the 528-page book by Black on IBM are plainly non-trivial. 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.) is plainly trivial." - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 06:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC) I changed some indentation to make it easier to read. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 06:43, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Note that, per WP:GNG, significant coverage needs not be the main topic of the source material but it needs to be more than a trivial mention. The proposed sources are not significant coverage:
  1. Book Crime television by Douglas Snauffer: A tertiary source about crime TV shows, which only discusses Higgins as part of the plot of the series, never mentioning reception or significance for the character outside of the show. If this source shows notability is for the Magnum, P.I. series, not the individual character, barely mentioned as part of the plot of the show.
  2. Newspaper Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Apr 28, 1983, article by Judy Flander: Not even a review or critical commentary for the character, only one mention that, as part of a then future episode, a brother of Higgins was going to appear on the show. A trivial mention like this (a single sentence) does not show notability nor does it show anything beyond the plot of the series.
  3. Newspaper The Press-Courier, May 24, 1981, article by Jerry Buck: An article about John Hillerman, the actor, not Higgins, the fictional character. On top of that, Hillerman is the one commenting about the character, which makes it a primary source, unsuitable for notability.
  4. Newspaper The Leader-Post, May 23, 1981, article by the Associated Press: Another article about Hillerman where Higgins is only mentioned once. A trivial mention which does not show notability.
  5. Newspaper Record-Journal, Jul 22, 1985, article by Vernon Scott: Once again a small article about Hillerman where he mentions his role as Higgins.
Check them out for yourselves. These sources are a very good example of the lack of significant coverage that the fictional character has. What these sources show is that John Hillerman is a notable actor, known for his portrayal of a fictional character, not that the fictional character is notable.
What's more, as stated in the WP:GNG, significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion, and without reliable secondary sources making analytic or evaluative claims about Higgins, this is still WP:PLOT, part of WP:NOT, thus making the subject of the article unacceptable for Wikipedia. If anything, these sources show that Higgins as a fictional character does not have reception and significance beyond the plot of the series. Jfgslo (talk) 02:21, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I put some of my money where my mouth is. I added some info from the post gazette, since the first ref I found was already in it. It was more than a single sentence. It also helped to contextualize Higgins in the show, which was nice. It's nothing crazy, but more than trivial (it was one para). It kinda seems like you would prefer that the character not be notable, as opposed to being impartial and interested in whether the character is notable or not. I had to look through about 20 fictional articles nominated for deletion to find one that was notable so I knew doing some research would be fruitful, but when I saw Higgins I knew I had found one. I'm 37 years old, so I may know something you don't, but Higgins was freaking huge for a few years in the 80s. Offline sources can probably provide 100 refs. Thankfully more than two are available online.- Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One of innumerable very minor system utilities with no encyclopedic significance. Fails WP:MILL as the clearest policy-based statement of their non-relevance here. These programs exist. Their basic existence is indeed supported by mention in magazine reviews. However that's all we get, and all we're ever likely to get. Re-stating this sort of basic "parts catalogue" content doesn't add to the body of an encyclopedia.

AVG (software)'s subject is a range of products, and they're broad enough in total to make some claim of significance.

And, for what it's worth, Windows 7 has already been given a cutoff date starting in 2015.[31] Dozens of similar products existed for Windows 95 and 98 as well. Some of the businesses that made them are still around, but for the most part those products have been forgotten. I don't see anything that suggests this product won't share a similar fate. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 13:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with this kind of logic; while any subject on Wikipedia now is likely to be forgotten, arguments "I don't see anything that suggest this product won't..." are dangerously close to trying to invent crystal ball; WP:N is much simpler, and doesn't require conjecturing; it is based on 3rd-party coverage which exists right now, and is either satisfied or not. In this particular case (IMHO) it is on satisfied side. Ipsign (talk) 13:47, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The very concept of notability in Wikipedia, from the moment of its introduction, has always been about long term historical notability. As editors, we "attempt to make some sort of judgment" about "the long term historical notability" of a subject. Now, software that's been in use for two hundred years is probably notable. Hell, software that's been in use for fifty years is probably notable. But more recent software needs to show some kind of technical, historical, or at least cultural significance. References need to show, not only that it exists, but that it represents some kind of achievement likely to be remembered. Quake probably has cultural significance, and may also have technical significance.

But this article doesn't make much of a case for significance. And while a lot of current applications will continue to work, more or less, the next time Microsoft messes with the innards of Windows, software like this will be the first to break. It's a product with a certainly finite shelf life. It isn't historically important, not in the long term. It's not a subject for an encyclopedia article. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 04:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to interpret "long term historical notability" as "generations and centuries", do you have any reference to justify such interpretation (I'd say "years" will be much more appropriate)? Not to mention that what you've referred, is neither a policy nor a guideline, and current wording of Wikipedia guideline doesn't include any references to historical notability. It says explicitly: "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.". So, to argue to delete the article, one should either say it doesn't satisfy WP:GNG, or name one of WP:NOT items. Which one it will be? Ipsign (talk) 05:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In fairness to contributors on both sides of this debate, I think that the guidelines for WP:PRODUCT are not as well-developed as for other categories, and I think there are some as-yet-unresolved, ongoing projects to provide clearer guidance that we could use here, if only they were ready. I initially took the "well, clearly there's coverage--case closed" side, but I've thought about it some more. For me, the comparison is to something like today's leading screwdriver. Yes, various consumer sites will publish reports on which one sells the best at the moment and which ones on offer today are the most durable, or most easily gripped, or cheapest, or what have you. But who cares, from an encyclopedic point of view? Did the new product revolutionize the business? Did it spawn a whole new class of copycat competitors? Was it a branding triumph that entered the public consciousness? Did it become a byword for some positive (or negative) quality? As a Thought_experiment, if the company that made this product were to suddenly stop production forever, would anyone expect to find it in well-run encyclopedia the next day? The Ford Model T? Yes. The original IBM PC? Yes. The Aeron chair? Yes. Today's "leading Vista compatible optimizer suite"? No chance in hell. The point is not that it was notable and now is not. The point is that it never was notable. That consumer review coverage was all so much WP:ROUTINE. And I'm sure that whoever is producing today's most prestigious biodynamically-grown carrot, or the "smart" water with biggest annual turnover, or Google hits, or whatever, will hate me, but that's what I think. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 05:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just so. This product might warrant a mention in utility software or registry cleaner, articles that are even now in pretty poor shape. They remain in poor shape despite the time and energy wasted in the creation of dozens of spammy articles about individual products in these categories. But a judgment that "this is notable software" means that '500 years from now, at least specialist historians studying the impact of Microsoft operating systems will want to remember this particular product by name'. Especially where the possibility of commercial conflict of interest exists, this is what it means to be a notable product. I remain unconvinced. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 13:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Smerdis -- it might be helpful to the rest of us if, when you make a statement such as "sources need to establish, not merely that a product exists, but that it has abiding historical, technical, or cultural significance of the sort that will be remembered over generations and centuries", where you are stating what policy indicates, as distinct from your personal point of view. As a sysop, this become especially important IMHO, because readers might be confused and think that you are citing policy when that is not the case. Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:44, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Effort on this article would be much better spent on registry cleaner and explaining the purpose of this task, in an encyclopedic manner. We're supposed to be here for explanations, not product lists. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:02, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is very far from "a major software suite". It doesn't do anything of primary usefulness. You might buy a PC to run Office or Corel Draw, but would you buy a PC just to run this program? It's just one of those annoying little extras that Windows collects to keep it running. There's a toilet brush in my bathroom, but I did not build a bathroom just as a place to keep toilet brushes. Registry cleaners are like WP Admins - they're useful, indeed necessary, to keep things running smoothly, but it's a mistake to see the function of WP primarily to be a place to exercise adminship.

One of innumerable very minor system utilities with no encyclopedic significance. Fails WP:MILL as the clearest policy-based statement of their non-relevance here. These programs exist. Their basic existence is indeed supported by mention in magazine reviews. However that's all we get, and all we're ever likely to get. Re-stating this sort of basic "parts catalogue" content doesn't add to the body of an encyclopedia.

Whilst this isn't the major question at issue here, for your future information WP:N states "Multiple sources are generally expected." This isn't a blanket ban to inclusion of topics with only a single source, but it would generally be seen as a problem. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:35, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think it means more that sources that can prove the article's notability, using secondary sources. That means the source doesn't have to be 100% reliable, though it needs at least some reliability, but to prove the subject's reliability. -Porch corpter (talk/contribs) 11:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it all hinges on the question if #3/#4 are WP:RS, but IMHO they are not; they look much more like typical affiliate sites which will write just about everything to get share of the sale which comes through their site; if so, they don't qualify as WP:RS (information of affiliates is always WP:PROMO).

I've got to say that [35] is pretty balanced for something being used as a promo piece. The site does look like it may well be centered on pushing one product (not this one), but the review looks reasonable, maybe even negative. Hobit (talk) 08:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the review is negative, but the site which shows it, is built to push something, it shouldn't be considered as WP:RS for WP:N purposes (they write about the product not because they think that the product is worth mentioning, but because of some other reasons). From other point of view: how long it would take to build such a pseudo-review site to get a dozen of products included into Wikipedia? It is not WP:V and not WP:RS. 08:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

There's now a fifth source, looks like an IP editor chanced upon the article and mistakenly "consolodated" away a review by PC Advisor (magazine) (easy mistake to make as most of the review was syndicated from PC World, but PC Advisor do seem to have offered their own independent verdict.) FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the Washington Post, you could look at it the other way, it's so unimportant the Washington Post didn't review it themselves but bought in content from elsewhere. Realistically I don't think you can draw either conclusion from the Washington Post's inclusion. Regarding PC Advisor - it's the same reviewer, the same review and the same conclusion. The fact that a one sentence summary is offered to fit the format that PC Advisor uses doesn't change it, I can't see how it could be considered to be independant verdict, it's clearly based on the review, with no evidence that whoever wrote it did anything more than read the review. Even if I go along with the view it's adding something, the GNG view of non-trivial coverage isn't met, a one sentence summarisation is nothing more than trivial. --82.19.4.7 (talk) 16:33, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Admitedly WP use their own reviewers for absolutely top tier software releases like the Vista OS itself. But from a quick search of various mid ranking programmes (e.g. Crimson editor) they dont seem to review those at all. Also , WP:GNG makes no mention of rejecting syndicated coverage. I remain convinced that both the WP and PC Advisor review confers notability, so IMO this quality article meets GNG several times over. FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that someone uses a wheelchair or not is not notable. The list is entirely unreferenced and hence has implications for WP:BLP. Polyamorph (talk) 13:37, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Notable people in wheelchairs" isn't a good basis for a list. "People in wheelchairs where their use of wheelchairs is in some way notable" would be much better. We don't require individual list entries to be notable (a big justification for list articles, and I don't know of this differing for BLPs either). However we should require the individual's wheelchair use, or at least their impairment, to be significant. I would expect disability rights advocates to meet this, but many otherwise notable people to not do so.
I'm not concerned about sourcing and WP:BLP - whilst important, that's an editing issue, not cause for deletion.
I am however concerned about Dirk Bogarde and similar. Many, many people spend their last year or so in a wheelchair, after strokes and the like. This doesn't make them particularly notable as wheelchair users. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates makes it clear that Lists and Categories are not mutually exclusive, and can co-exist. WP:LISTPEOPLE contains the requirement (not always followed) that people in a list must meet WP notability requirements ... so the fact that this list contains some non-notable people is not, alone, a reason to delete it. --Noleander (talk) 15:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please could you provide examples for people who are known primarily for as being in a wheelchair? Because I'm not convinced that statement is true, there are so many people that use wheelchairs, if it was notable then the old lady down the street that has to use one because of their stroke deserves an article. I know there are some people who may not have achieved what they achieved without being disabled (paralympians for example) but no one who's notability is defined solely by their wheelchair use.Polyamorph (talk) 06:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Thailand Sci-Fi writer. A Professor in Natural Science at University of Bangkok from 1991-2007. This was speedily deleted as a hoax, but allowed to be brought back. No reliable references in the article or to be found. He goes by seven different names, including from a previous incarnation of the article, the Prince of Scifi and the Prince of Fantasy, so searching is difficult. Among the fake claims:

  1. "the Haunted House,mini Bram Stoker Award Winning 2009" According to the Bram Stoke site, he won no such award.
  2. "Youngever Boy, Costa Book Award 2001" The Costa Book Awards are only given to authors in the UK or Ireland.
  3. "Remain of Flowers, Amazon Award 2010" and "Jazzanova Jukebox Vol.1, Amazon Award 2010" The only award I'm aware of the Amazon give out is the Breakthrough Novel Award given to authors writing their first book and he didn't win it.
  4. "the Orange Story, Nautilus Junior Award Winning 2009" No such thing as the Nautilus Junior Award. But on the Amazon site, it won the "Booker Price Award from the UNESCO in the best children story of good creativity in Democracy on 2004" and is on its 62nd edition. Yea, there is no Booker Price award from UNESCO either.
  5. "Purple Loop, the Watty Award 2011". The 2011 Watty Awards haven't been handed out yet. He didn't win the 2010 either.
  6. "the Dark Telepathy, the Golden Medal for best fiction on 2008 from the Netherlands" Yea, no such award
  7. Don't know how to find "National Award"
  8. Reference and external link to "Orbit Magazine, July 2006" There was no July 2006 issue. Don't think he won the Wine Orbit Award either.

He does have a facebook page and Google profile page Google translate is horrible, but facebook still has him as a Prof at Univ. of Bangkok. Google had him at Chulalongkorn University before he retired. Google profile (at the bottom in English) has him while being a Prof at the Univ of Bangkok, he got his masters in '92 and was a postdoc at University of Sydney in Telepathy, 2008 - 2009.

  1. Cannabis Corpse Has been the subject of many articles published by sources including Blabbermouth.net, Metal Hammer magazine, and Decibel magazine which are all reliable independent sources (See here, here, and here for examples if you're interested).
  2. The band has appeared in the notable film In the Loop.
  3. One of the members is Philip Hall, who is also a member of the band Municipal Waste. That band has been signed to a major label (Earache Records), and is considered to be a prominent band from its area (Richmond, Virginia).
  4. The band has toured with other major bands including Hate Eternal, Vital Remains, and Origin.
I am aware that some of the criteria I listed are not primary reasons for inclusion, but also provide some secondary merit. The primary key here is that this band does in fact pass WP:BAND. --Brian Reading (talk) 20:36, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article itself doesn't give any indication of notability or that the band satisifes WP:BAND, but if you want to edit the article to add some of the references that you've found to prove how it does satisfy that criteria then great. Polyamorph (talk) 09:05, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will be adding these references soon. In the meantime, it would be inappropriate to still be advocating a deletion. The article's content on Wikipedia is not the measure for whether a band passes WP:BAND. Honestly, the only way I think you can say this doesn't pass WP:BAND at this point is if you're trying to claim that those are not reliable sources, but you will have a difficult time with that. I am definitely surprised that you are taking this stance. --Brian Reading (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the sources are only rather trivial mentions of the band. There's nothing that suggests to me that they are really anything significant. But as I said before I'm happy to be proven wrong. Out of the 12 criteria on WP:BAND, how many (and which ones) would you say the band satisfies? And if you can provide sources that specifically prove that they meet those criteria then I will withdraw the nomination. But as of now I don't see it, sorry. Polyamorph (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly disagree. These sources are not simply trivial mentions of the band. Did you not read the Decibal article I presented? What about this one from Blabbermouth.net? Here's another from the June 2011 issue of Thrasher magazine. Under which criterion does this subject meet WP:BAND? While other criteria could be argued, the first one is definitely met: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." This is sufficient for inclusion. --Brian Reading (talk) 15:33, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, I'll withdraw the nomination (once I work out how to do that), I read the decibal article but being an interview it's almost a primary source? But being in the film I guess makes them notable (I did miss that point, sorry), although they weren't in the trailer, plenty of people have minor roles in films but it doesn't necessarily make them notable. It would be nice if they have evidence of notability via record sales, Mainstream media reports, awards, etc, i.e. all the usual things "big" bands have. But I'm convinced that you can provide some sources and are willing to improve the article so I'll give the article the benefit of the doubt.

I would consider Thrasher magazine to be part of the "mainstream media", as they are part of the BNQT Media Group which is a subsidiary of Gannett Company, but I think this is a subjective term anyway. I do understand your concern about the fact that some of the sources are interviews, but I believe it is the community consensus to treat this as an independent source as long as it is being conducted by a reliable source. As I understand it, the spirit of keeping some interviews out is to conform with not using sources similar to press releases. These interviews are not similar to press releases, and are conducted by industry journalists associated with reliable sources, so I don't think we'll have that specific problem here. As for withdrawing the nomination, I think your statement there is sufficient. Usually, the admin closing this discussion will take that into heavy consideration when deciding the article's deletion. I will definitely follow through with improving this article as much as I can, and I commend your objectivity in this. People like you exemplify a genuine desire to improve the Wikipedia project, and not some sort of stubborn agenda. Thanks. --Brian Reading (talk) 17:34, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also do not agree with Wikipedia's way of determining a person's notability.

A councillor in a big city is recognized by many more people than a councillor of a township with a population of 300.

In so far that I think that the rules of the game must be level. Apply the same rule in every case in the same way, not with special custom-made exceptions based on arbitrary numbers. Who decided that Toronto town councillors were notable? The whole community or just a bunch of Toronto-editors/a project group? It is just as senseless as to declare notable every Palestinian attack on Israelis, every ship over 100 feet, every secondary school, every place with more than 2 inhabitants and so on. One day, that collection of senseless data will start backfiring on Wikipedia because it often lacks quality and/or importance. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

School hygiene[edit]

School hygiene (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This article appears to be either WP:original research or WP:synthesis, since it has only 1 source/citation throughout its entire body (on the first sentence) and the external links touch the actual subject of "hygiene" at a school only tangentially. The one source that it lists as a reference, a book written in Serbian, could not be identified using the ISBN number (through WorldCat and Amazon) nor through the title (at WorldCat) and there is essentially no way to verify the information cited without being able to identify text, nor was any original text/translation provided. The article seems to mix aspects of Public health with School health education and Hygiene. The external links, upon which the article appears to rely as sources, discuss "hygiene" in the context of a larger issue of public health, including other separate items such as water and sanitation (for example, the article linked to: "Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools" here, but this article commits WP:Synthesis by making (for example) "water supply" part of "school hygiene", or by discussing the location of building sites avoiding things like mist and strong winds. I think any verifiable, good content, if any, should be merged with School health education or Public health or Hygiene, and this article should be deleted unless proper sourcing of "School hygiene" as an article subject along with verifiable, notable content is accomplished.

  • please see the Books link above which immediately shows that there have been many books written about the topic with this exact title. Warden (talk) 10:00, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you will note, most, if not all of them, were written in the late 1800s and early 1900s. While this of course does not preclude their use or the creation of an article with that title, it does suggest that the concept of "school hygiene" as a discipline (which is what this article asserts), is outdated and archaic. This is why I suggested merging any content into other articles, such as Hygiene, among other articles, perhaps at Hygiene#History_of_hygienic_practices. A merge and a redirect might be appropriate at this point. Moogwrench (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Warden. I looked at the books link, and while the article in it's present state still needs a lot of work, with the number of books available the article can be salvaged. The books, however, show how important hygine in school has over 100 years ago meaning the theme of the article would change to reflect this information. That being said I struck my delete comment and I am going to extend a keep to this article, with the caveat that if significant improvements are not made it should go up for a second nomination. Nice work on starting the process, Aleksa! Ishdarian 20:50, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
PS Look at Google Books. Alex discussion 12:07, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me explain what I am talking about in regards to the source. Above, upon looking at Google Books, I wrote that if anything, "school hygiene" seems to be an archaic term related to Physical education and Health education used about 100 years ago, at least looking at the Google books in English (hence the idea of merging and redirecting). It is possible that term "school hygiene" in Serbian might be a current term to describe a current medical discipline in eastern Europe, but it doesn't seem to mean that same thing in English at the present time. The fact is that sometimes things don't translate literally. Moogwrench (talk) 18:17, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about UNICEF? They say: A Manual on School Sanitation and Hygiene (1998). Alex discussion 18:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • That was one of my original points, UNICEF has sanitation and hygiene as two separate topics, whereas the article lumps sanitation under hygiene. However, other sources, such as Encyclopedia Britannica may list sanitation under hygiene. It also kind of depends what "sanitation" means, too. Is it disinfection or is it removal and disposal of waste and/or a clean water supply? Moogwrench (talk) 22:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question Maybe, the name could be Hygiene at school...? Alex discussion 18:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, my thinking kind of mirrors that of Ishdarian. This article, if improved and kept, should focus on the historical "school hygiene" discipline as it existed, and perhaps trace its development into modern public health/sanitation/health education/physical education. If "school hygiene" still exists as a well-defined discipline in other countries, then it can be discussed in that context as well. it is just that it appears that "schoool hygiene" is no longer a clear medical discipline in the U.S., but has been superseded by the above topics.

"School hygiene education is a specific form of the wider school health education. It deals only with water and sanitation-related health problems in and around the school. School health education concerns all activities that promote health and reduce health risks of school children. Hygiene education primarily aims at changing behaviour toward good or safe practices in relation to personal, water, food, domestic and public hygiene." (emphasis mine)

-UNICEF article A Manual on School Sanitation and Hygiene, p. 3-4

--So we already know that this article, at least per this source, will talk only about hygiene behavior/practices in schools, not "all activities that promote health and reduce health risks of school children," as the first paragraph of the article seems to suggest, that school hygiene looks at all threats to the "intellectual and physical health of pupils." So if we aren't talking about general student health education, which would be a fork of School health education, then we would just be looking at hygiene practices at schools. I am going to be hard presssed to say how hygiene practices at schools differ from those in general society. Handwashing at a school is the same as handwashing anywhere else, essentially. Clean water is just as important in a home as it is in a school. So then we would have a fork of Hygiene.
--But, if we look at "school hygiene" from the disciplinary perspective, especially the historical route (since all those books are around 100 years ago), I am not too sure how many secondary sources we will be able to find on the development, course, and decline (at least in US) of "school hygiene" as a discipline that you study and get a degree in. I am sure it would make an interesting historical monograph. Point is, absent secondary sources on the topic, some original research and primary sources (which is what those old books, due to time separation, are; read WP:PRIMARY) are going to be needed (which would pretty run afoul of Wikipedia standards). You have to have those secondary sources to help you evaluate what people like Fletcher B Dresslar, professor of school hygiene and architecture at George Peabody School for Teachers in Nashville and author of the 1913 School Hygiene, were saying when they wrote what they wrote.
--I am not trying to be antagonistic towards this article, but these issues go far beyond the extensive copy editing/grammar rewrite that needs to be done (work on which, I see, has stalled). In summary, I think this has the potential to be a notable topic, perhaps not looking at the modern concept of "hygiene" at a school (which, again, I feel would be a redundant fork) but looking at the historical discipline of "school hygiene" as a medical/educational/architectural subject. I have my doubts, however, about the wisdom of using primary sources written by period authors to generate that article. So unless you can find some good secondary sources on which to base such an article, I feel that I must remain delete, even as the general discussion seems to be leaning towards a keep or at least, no consensus. Maybe someone can address the points that I have just brought up. And I apologize in advance for the long post. Moogwrench (talk) 05:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Came here in response to copyedit tag, but article appears to be bogus. A Google search returns pretty much nothing but this article. For a 14yo $2 billion company, not likely. Admittedly I did not follow the link to the claimed company website for fear of a malicious site, but a Whois search on darkhh.com shows it was anonymously registered through GoDaddy just a week before the article was created (remember this is supposedly a 14yo company specialising in things like ecommerce and online gaming).

Fails the general notability guideline. All the sources which cover this character seem to fail our guidelines on reliable sources. S Larctia (talk) 21:41, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any particular sources which you believe substantiate notability ? --S Larctia (talk) 22:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)
Is there anything in that number that provides verifiable evidence of notability? The number of hits on Google is nice, but does not in and of itself indicate notability. And then there is how the search is run, a result number can wind up including hits that have just one of the words or the three scatter in various places in the article. Looking at the search links up top:
  • "Aqualad (Jackson Hyde)" -wikipedia : This nets 16,100 including wikis, image dumps, and fansites on Google [42]
  • "Aqualad (Jackson Hyde)" : This nets, surprisingly, 7,380 on Google [43]

If he wasn't notable, then why would so many reliable sources be mentioning him? The coverage is significant enough. And the current state of the article is not a valid reason to delete it. Dream Focus 00:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A few things
  • It is hard to say that 2 - all that has been pointed to at this point - is "so many". That actually looks like "so few".
  • Reliable sources that mention the character exists does not show significant coverage under GNG. Jfgslo is right that simple existence does not equate to notability.
  • The state of the article is an indication of failing GNG and plot. Maintenance of that if the article is kept as a result of this AfD can become grounds for deletion.

Unremarkable independent film. No significant coverage, no articles for any of the principal cast or crew. Google search on the title only brings up 43 unique returns. Fails WP:NFF. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Unremarkable independent film. No significant coverage, what about the following films listed on wikipedia: (Toad Warrior, Max Hell Frog Warrior, Spanish Fly, Hitman City) and the list goes on and on. Clifford's film seem to have some good coverage. A Canadian Newpaper, Two Canadian Radio Stations, IMDB, An official website and six other newspapers that are not listed online that I found by going to the library newspaper search engine. Also, I've watched his films online and they are still online. His films are playing in over 60 film festivals. I found out his films played at a total of 22 so far. 23:39, 9 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.144.135 (talk)


From the research I've done the films have played in 22 out of 60 film festivals so far, they have had an online premiere I had to pay $10 bucks to watch them, the sites say they will premiere for another two weeks only.

He is one of the very few indian mathematicians who are actively working in Geometric Topology. He is a PhD from UC Berkeley. Now, he is the Dean of Mathematics at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Belur Math. He is my teacher.

They are local papers and do not represent significant coverage of the clubs activities. Mtking (edits) 21:36, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Next you'll be saying that The New York Times can't be used to prove significant coverage for any subject from New York. They are not "local" – they are the two major Tasmanian papers. By circulation, The Mercury is the 11th biggest newspaper in Australia and The Examiner is the 14th. Jenks24 (talk) 21:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, but local papers tend to report on the more trivial aspects of local life, like the fact that "Mr Ri V. Marris presided at the annual meeting of - the Westbury Cricket Club on Monday", for example or that "A CREDIT balance of £8 6s 7d was disclosed at the annual meeting of the Westbury Cricket Club". Are you really saying that the The New York Times would cover the AGM of a local minor league baseball club ? Mtking (edits) 22:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm saying is that both those papers are not trivial and local, but serious, respectable and read by tens of thousands each day. The two quotes that you have cherry-picked are simply how articles were written at the time. Newspaper articles in The Age from that time period about, say, the Melbourne Cricket Club are much the same. To your specific question, I know little about baseball terms, but I don't think "a local minor league baseball club" is the equivalent of an Australian grade cricket team, considering grade cricket is effectively the second tier of Australian cricket, behind the six first-class sides. That said, I think that if one searched through the NYT archives, it would be easy to find coverage of notable sports teams' AGMs in the early 1900s. Jenks24 (talk) 22:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did not cherry pick, I picked links 1 & 3, I could have picked link 2 "This club has during the past season played nine matches, of which six were won and three lost" or link 4 "A meeting of the committee of the Westbury Cricket Club took place in the reading-room on Saturday evening." or link 5 "A SPECIAL meeting of the Westbury Cricket Club was held at Mr. R. Ingamell's, and was well attended by members of the women's committee and players." to say that these are significant coverage is stretching it. Mtking (edits) 02:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mean you cherry-picked the articles, but the quotes to show the articles in a negative light. Anyway, as I said earlier, that style of journalism is a hallmark of the early 1900s and how that makes the coverage insignificant, I'll never understand. Take link 2, a major newspaper has devoted an entire article to summarising the team's season – that's significant coverage in anyone's book. Also, we seem to be quibbling over these five. They were just random examples, there are 200 more like them in the original link I gave. Jenks24 (talk) 13:49, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you can say which one gives the significant coverage then your !vote will be disregarded by the closing admin. Mtking (edits) 07:49, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
