No notability was shown in the first AfD. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 23:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This would seem pretty basic. The previous AfD had comments such as "Appears to be notable" and "its popularity is 2655/45000" absent a single reliable source saying so. The article had no reliable sources two and a half years ago, it has no reliable sources today, and apparently has never had any reliable sources supporting any assertion of notability. Absent such sources, an article cannot be sustained. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 08:34, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

query — Ravenswing, would you mind linking to some of the refs you've found if you have the time? there are so many hits on google news which are clearly not this guy that i'm having trouble isolating the ones which are. i'm not taking a position on this article at all, but would like to see more evidence than is found in the actual article is all. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 18:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: I'm somewhat surprised. Looking at just the first screen for advanced archival search by date for "Frank Scaglione," [17] you see articles from the Des Moines Register and the Omaha World-Herald which satisfy the GNG. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 21:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep — really, i did want to think that this should be deleted, but there are at least three solid sources discussing the dude. the article is in terrible shape, though, and is gag-inducing promotionalism. that, however, is not the question at hand. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:53, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure two articles from community sites in which he is from is independent or verify as multiple. Patch is a web site only for a town of 11,000. Dallas County news has a subscription base of 1,700 and publishes weekly. One of the articles is reprinted in the Omaha World Herald (paper covers parts of Iowa). In sports notability, usually hometown or college papers are not counted towards GNG, but can be used for referencing facts. I had 4 articles about me in my hometown (pop 4,000) paper while growing up and I'm not anywhere near in notable. Bgwhite (talk) 23:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Two reliable sources has long been held as multiple in every pertinent AfD. The particular articles to which I referred came from the Des Moines Register and the Omaha World-Herald, as I stated above - both daily newspapers with circulation over 100,000, the largest newspapers in their respective states, and winners of multiple Pulitzer Prizes; inferring that they do not constitute reliable sources is well to the left of farcical. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 00:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. (edit conflict) An apparently "bunched up" nomination with the other Zynga games. However, this is not made by them and is only tangentially relevant as a Zynga variation of the game, and even that is notable on its own.

Zapoppin'[edit]

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

Fails WP:Notability (music). Band does not have two albums from a major label and no evidence of "non-trivial, published works appearing in sources". Recently added citations remain trivial passing mentions of gigs. It is possible that there is non-trivial coverage that has not been cited here, but a good faith search has not turned any up.SabreBD (talk) 14:53, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In an effort to reinforce the non-trivial coverage of Zapoppin' by 247 Magazine, I have amended the link to point to a digital version of the magazine (rather than a web-post hosting this version). I have also included a link to a BBC playlist including Zapoppin's track 'Hoisted' as further evidence of notability. Mymyyada (talk) 16:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)Mymyyada[reply]

Comment It looks like it comes down to whether the published works meet the criteria of "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself". Now it can be seen, I think the 247 entry probably meets the criteria of non-trivial, which means one more is needed and I think most of these including the BBC are largely just listings. I am not sure about the Clash citation, which doesn't look much more than an entry, but to would be useful to have opinions from other editors on that one, or, dare I say it, another unambiguously non-trivial source.--SabreBD (talk) 19:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. In an effort to remedy these issues I have expanded the text detailing the response to Zapoppin's album Antiquarian Party Ballads For Dames with a reference to the - arguably unambiguous - review and inclusion as a 'Favourite of 2010' by Jam Records. Additionally, I have included a reference to Zapoppin's radio play as part of Resonance FM's 'Pick of 2010' show. I'm confused as to the difficulty accepting the Clash citation as it is a national magazine offline with a significant online presence, also. This reviewer dedicates 100 words going into some depth describing the band, their set and the lyrical themes of their songs. Though, am happy to hear of further issues and to hear the opinion of another editor should the more recent changes not be adequate. Mymyyada (talk) 21:15, 4 September 2011 (UTC)Mymyyada[reply]

Keep. With the 247 review plus the Swiss radio interview and also the Jam Records favourite pick (note, this is not their current label) the band has sufficiently been covered, even internationally, to be notable. De728631 (talk) 23:04, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think that the record company site can be taken as third party, even if they are no longer with them and unfortunately I cannot get the Swiss interview to play, but I am willing to take De728631's word for it on that one. It is still near the margins, but I think there is now enough here to change my nomination to keep and I have stuck it through accordingly. Good luck on improving the article.--SabreBD (talk) 09:33, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Jam is in fact not a record label at all, but rather is an independent shop (online and offline), blog, cafe and venue. I have amended the page to account for this confusion as the Jam website more often refers to itself simply as 'Jam' rather than 'Jam Records'. Thanks for input from both editors.

Faruk Türünz[edit]

Craftsman who makes ouds: this is not in itself notable, not could I find any indication that the subject is an exception. This article was recently deleted per Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#A7 but has been recreated in the same form by a newly registered user; A7 was this time contested. However the only supplied reference is to a BBC blog (which briefly talks about one of the subject's instruments, not the subject himself) and no other significant and independent references could be found to assert notability, still less verify any of the article content. The main claim to notability is the invention of the "Brace Tuning System" which should - if it really is notable - easily be found in reliable sources, but all that turns up appear to be the subject's own sites (such as myspace), and the biographies there are so similar to this article as to make this a possible candidate for speedy deletion as a copyvio (though I am taking this to AfD as an A7 has already been contested, and so that consensus can be properly reached on the notability issue). RichardOSmith (talk) 19:28, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Note: I am the admin who declined the most recent A7 on this article. I don't know about any copyvio, but in the meantime I've rewritten most of the article--it's a pity no one else did that in the article's first incarnation. OK, I do believe it is noteworthy if we have an article on an established oud maker. Those luthiers are rare, and given the part of the world they're from it's well-nigh a miracle if you can find English-language material on them. In this case, we have a BBC Radio 3 blog where Khyam Allami describes how he well in love with one of Turunz's instruments. We also have a brief but meaningful comment in a Turkish magazine: "Un Turc, Faruk Turunz, est maintenant considéré parmi les meilleurs, sinon le meilleur fabricant de l’oud (le luth oriental)." That I cannot produce any more sources is right now is due to two reasons: a. I do not know what the relevant magazines and journals are for this area and b. my Turkish sucks.
What I ask of nominator and others is that they consider that this is a field in which it is simply difficult (for me, and I imagine for others) to find references for such a subject. What I found so far and have included in the article, however, certainly suggests notability. Drmies (talk) 20:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The previous AfD closed as a no consensus, after multiple relistings, with only one editor commenting on it; under the circumstances, it's not obnoxious to try again to seek a consensus. That being said, the subject is mentioned in the local small-town weekly newspaper's website (both articles in fact come from the same source); said paper does not have an article of its own, and the premise that this constitutes a reliable source is shaky. But let's examine them anyway.
The first source is to back the assertion that the subject created the "World’s Largest Suggestion Box," which is entirely backed by the subject's own claim that it is. The same source is also used to support the article's contention that the subject invented a "RadioName concept," once again solely backed by the subject's own claims. No evidence is proffered, however, as to what makes this concept notable, or any sources suggesting that the world has heard of it.
The second source mentions the subject along with several other local mayoral candidates. Were he to have won the race, that would fail of notability under WP:POLITICIAN given the small size of the city; failed candidates, of course, garner no presumptive notability.
As far as Dravecky's assertion that the subject being a former professional wrestler contributes to notability, no reliable sources claim that he was. The article states that the subject wrestled for a loop called the "CWA" operating out of Dallas, but the only such loop I could find was the Continental Wrestling Association, an outfit operating out of Memphis that folded when the subject was 17 years old. Perhaps Dravecky did some research into verifying this claim, and I invite him to share the research with us.
Sorry, but this adds up to a 0+0+0=0. A failed mayoral candidate in a small city gains no notability under WP:POLITICIAN, which sets the minimum bar at a successful candidate for a large regional city. A purported professional wrestler from a loop that (if it exists at all) is desperately obscure and/or defunct gains no notability from that, even if supported by reliable sources, which the assertion is not. A local radio host gains no notability under WP:ENTERTAINER, which requires a "large fan base or a significant "cult" following," for which no sources have been proffered. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 09:11, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep perhaps not an all-time classic song, but it did manage to be a hit single TWICE--for two different artists no less-- hitting the top 40 and then later the top 20. That's a notable song. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: That there is no article for the band is irrelevant to the notability of the song ... although as the performers for two singles which charted on the UK charts, it certainly qualifies for one. That being said, the most cursory attempt at research supports the article's claim that this song is a two-time UK Singles Chart tune, which is all that's needed. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 09:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A song article without a supporting artist page is grounds for speedy deletion under A9. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Why, look ... here's one right here. And it was even mentioned in the article as the other group that did a cover of the song which made the UK Singles Chart, at the time you filed the AfD.

That being said, perhaps you should reread A9, which holds, "An article about a musical recording that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant and where the artist's article does not exist (both conditions must be true)." (emphasis in the original) I rather expect that most editors, myself included, would view a mention that a song had twice over made the top 40 of a national singles' chart as a valid assertion of significance. Cheers back atcha. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 12:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The speedy argument is wrong, since the article asserts notability. But as far as I can tell it doesn't meet either WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. Both require significant coverage in reliable sources, and I didn't find any. The closest were three one-line mentions, none of which really count as significant. NSONG does mention that "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable", but this would appear to be an exception.

I did a Google search, and the closest thing I could find to an independent source discussing this book was this review done by a student for a university class. I still don't see enough material to establish notability for the book separately from notability of the author, and I still think this article should be redirected to Mel Mermelstein (after merging what few tidbits are here but not already there).

Near Earth Asteroid Reconnaissance Project[edit]

Does not appear to be a particularly notable organization. One of a series of articles whose main purpose seems to be to publicize the work of Les Golden, and in fact this article was created by a now-blocked sockpuppet of Drlesmgolden (talk · contribs). Astronomy magazine mentioned them once in 1994, and has apparently had noting to add in the intervening 17 years, suggesting they are not notable or important even within their field of study. The 2010 ref is a puff piece about how great Les Golden is from a local paper. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "puff piece" isn't from a reliable source, and the author is probably Golden himself. He even created a "Diane" account on Wikipedia to edit his article that was proven to be a sock-puppet. I've removed the puff reference from the article since it's not from a reliable source. Rklawton (talk) 18:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Saathiya (TV series), the one place for which she has any context and might merit a sourcable mention. The acrtress currently fails WP:ENT and WP:GNG. I found one article on her in French language source 24 heures [26] that tells how she and other Indian stars were filming 5 episodes of Saathiya in Lausanne, Switzerland, and I did find a bio at TV Basti that actually states that she plays the lead role in that series. But apart from that... only blogs and forums. This one is simply Too Soon. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree a redirect would work. I was careful to use the term "not really a lead role" since I saw the TV Basti source (which is identical to this version, I don't know who copies whom), but the current page says it is not a lead role, and searching the web I always saw her mentioned as secondary to Gopi (Jiaa Manek). But all this is insubstantial, it would be too soon even if was a co-lead role.--Muhandes (talk) 08:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipeida author may likely have gotten his inspiration from the TV Basti bio, but yes, it is too soon for us to base a BLP on the one short paragraph, no matter its claim. If she does get more coverage, the redirect can be reverted and her article fleshed out sccordingly. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 17:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

This article handles a runway overshoot leading to a full right off of the aircraft, but with no fatalities. It was in the news extensively -for a few days- and now (> 1 month later) no wider implications to the airline or aircraft industry have been shown. As such it seems merely a news-item which is not valid per WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:notability has not been shown. L.tak (talk) 14:33, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As a hull-loss it meets WP:AIRCRASH, the cited refs also show that it meets WP:GNG and WP:N. - Ahunt (talk) 15:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am a bit confused how it meets the essay wp:aircrash. That says for stand alone articles "If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article above it may be notable enough for a stand-alone article if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports.", so it requires a specific notability (including WP:NOTNEWS rationale). Could you indicate how notnews is satisfied (or where I am mistaken in my reasoning?)L.tak (talk) 15:35, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As explained below, it meets the AIRCRASH, "The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport;" to be included in a type article and also "If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article above it may be notable enough for a stand-alone article if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports." for a stand alone article. As far as NOTNEWS goes there will be further reports issued on this accident as time goes by, no airliner hull loss is simply news reports and nothing more, which is what AIRCRASH acknowledges and why it differentiates airliners from light aircraft, which often do not have any further follow up. - Ahunt (talk) 13:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: As it falls within the scope of these WikiProjects, notification of this AfD discussion has been made at both Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft - Ahunt (talk) 15:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; extensive coverage by independent sources show that it passes the GNG. However, WP:AIRCRASH is just an essay, not policy. Also, as far as standalone articles are concerned it only says "If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article it may be notable enough for a stand-alone article if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports". So, the essay is redundant here, as it doesn't set a lower bar than the broader rules on notability which have been agreed by the community. bobrayner (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the nomination is too soon after the last one IMHO. The airframe was written off, which adds weight to the case for a stand-alone article. Whilst a large number of deaths makes weight for the case for notability, a lack of them does not necessarily mean a lack of notability - British Airways Flight 009, British Airways Flight 38. Investigations into aircrashes take time, 2 years is not uncommon, and in exceptional cases can take over 8 years. Also, keep per arguments raised in the original AfD discussion. Mjroots (talk) 16:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Here's the same answer as the last deletion discussion: The airliner broke in half. At Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents, the longstanding notability guideline for airline accidents is that if the hull is written off the accident is notable and the article is to be kept. Binksternet (talk) 16:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sorry for keeping asking again about it, but where exactly did you read that in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents? I saw "loss of hull" nowhere to be interpreted as an argument for an article to be standalone; could you point me to the paragraph? L.tak (talk) 16:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's the second bullet of WP:AIRCRASH in all three sections. N419 BH 04:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But those bullets are preceded by "should only be included in airline/airport articles if:" and thus specifically do not handle standalone articles, where -accordng to wp:aircrash- the normal notability rules apply (including the events-guideline...)... L.tak (talk) 05:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, specifically, "If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article above it may be notable enough for a stand-alone article if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports." As has been already argued here, hull loss pretty much equals notability sufficient for an article, even if that isn't what the guidelines says verbatim. In the end what we're dealing with are guidelines, not policies. N419 BH 05:25, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks for clarifying the line of thinking. I think it makes clear we agree i) that the second paragraph of the guideline applies (as you have quoted) and ii) that GNG/EVENT/NOTNEWS should be satisfied. We just disagree whether "loss of hull + signficant -shortterm- news coverage + (a yet to be concluded investigation)" makes enough claim to satisfy GNG/EVENTS/NOTNEWS... L.tak (talk) 06:03, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I haven't actually !voted here, but I would generally consider the hull-loss of an airliner to be notable. The other thing about aviation accidents is there is almost always a highly reliable, detailed, and authoritative source: the accident report. N419 BH 06:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Clearly meets WP:GNG. Haus^Talk 08:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per WP:GNG (a subset of the WP:N guideline): If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. The article satisfies that criteria, as it has significant coverage in reliable sources such as AP, BBC, CNN and FlightGlobal. In most cases, an airliner hull loss will also meet those criteria. While it's not a deciding factor in the absence of meeting the other guidelines, it is a good indicater of "likely notability". - BilCat (talk) 09:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

This article was previously nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slugslinger and closed as no consensus on the basis of a source that was arguably refuted at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2011_August_27. However, there was no clear consensus to overturn the article and delete but some support for a merge as well as an endorse. The overall consensus remains unclear. I am therefore relisting this using my discretion as the DRV closer to try and force consensus. As a guide to participants, I believe the discussion would benefit from a close analysis of the sourcing and consideration on whether there is enough sourced content to allow an article or even to justify a merge.

Is there any rule that requires us to re-nominate it forever until we get a concensus?

Delete as before, there are still no reliable sources here - the first one is a brief footnote on a single page of a book, and all the rest are sources about Transformers (and even then don't go into much detail apart from plot summaries). Having said that, a Merge to List of Decepticons would be a reasonable compromise - I realise that Mathewignash has suggested a merge to Targetmasters but that's practically unsourced as well.. Black Kite (t) (c) 15:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT, We can add sources to it from any Targetmaster characters who get merged there, if Slugslinger's article is boarderline, then surely an article with him and OTHER sources would be acceptable. Mathewignash (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP, the article has demonstrated notability in unrealted media. I realize this article is boarderline, and the people who tend to just vote "DELETE" in all Transformers articles will show up with the common arguements, meanwhile the people who worked on the article and voted "KEEP" for it before vote the same again. This nomination really won't settle anything. I'd prefer it close as no concensus again and then let's just debate the merge proposal Black Kite has made. Mathewignash (talk) 17:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge - Sources seem to meet the definition of significant coverage, as defined by Wikipedia, see below:

"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.

"Addressing the subject directly in detail" seems to have been done. In a more general sense, the *overall* topic of Transformers has received incredibly significant coverage, so the only question is when to split or merge the content. A single article about Transformers would leave out scads of material that readers would like to have, and splitting too much might leave us with multiple tiny articles that make it harder to search. I think the current treatment of this toy/character is fine, but I would readily defer to a merge. -- Avanu (talk) 18:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, precisely as I said during the DRV. There is clearly insufficient sourcing for a separate article, but a lack of sourcing doesn't mean "delete" when there are reasonable alternatives such as to merge or redirect.
I'm not overjoyed that this was relisted. Editor time is a resource, and this rather unimportant matter is consuming a great deal too much of it. I suggest that if there's no consensus this time around, we archive this debate and leave it. We can come back to arguing about transformers once Category:All unreferenced BLPs is empty.

(Later) I want to add, in response to Reyk, that a "merge" outcome obviously doesn't have to mean keeping all the text.—S Marshall T/C 22:12, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, but that's one of the two typical outcomes. The other being that nothing whatsoever is done for months and months. Discriminate merges, where large amounts of inappropriate material are not kept, are far more rare and generally only happen when there is strong consensus that the article is mostly junk- such as at AfDs like this one. Reyk _YO! 23:01, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- discounting a single passing mention, the subject of this article is covered only by the same kinds of sources that have generally been shown to be insufficient- toy catalogues, price guides and the works of fiction themselves. I'm still not seeing the substantial, independent sources that Wikipedia requires for an independent article. This is clear from the lardy structure of the article itself: plotsummaryplotsummaryplotsummaryplotsummary This character appeared in primary source X^[1]. This character appeared in primary source Y^[2] plotsummaryplotsummaryplotsummaryplotsummaryplotsummary. I'm also not convinced of the merits of a merge because the suggested merge targets would not be improved by including material from this article: they are already way too long, have many of the same kinds of sourcing issues this one does, and are also too heavy on plot summary. Copy and pasting more of the same would make those articles worse rather than better. Reyk _YO! 22:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question here, but you said "the same kinds of sources that have generally been shown to be insufficient- toy catalogues, price guides and the works of fiction themselves. I'm still not seeing the substantial, independent sources that Wikipedia requires for an independent article"

I quoted the Wikipedia definition above of "significant coverage", and this seems to fall 100% into that definition, so in what way do we decide that it is insufficient? Just because?

Well, if you look through some of the previous Transformers AfDs you'll see the general consensus is that these kinds of sources prove the thing exists, but that they do nothing to establish notability. This is, IMO, a sensible position to take because the works of fiction themselves do not confer notability. Neither should catalogue type sources whose purpose is to slavishly list each and every one, just like my local phone book does not bestow notability upon me. Here is a list of previous Transformers AfDs that show this principle. (1, 2, 3, and many others). Reyk _YO! 23:01, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fuckin' Deleyte. I for one am quite overjoyed that this was relisted. It does not have proper sourcing, alleges no notability of the subject matter, and plainly is nothing more than fanboy wankcruft.

Merge if and only if anyone cares enough to do it. As has been shown again and again, closing as a merge just equates to it being kept with a banner saying "this article will be merged" for an indefinite period of time. If you want it merged, do it. Otherwise, delete. Yeah, there's a passing mention in a reliable source.

List of people who have been called "polymaths"[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Articles for deletion/List of people who have been called "polymaths"

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

Problematic list. The definition of a polymath is broad and subjective. Quote: “... A polymath may simply be someone who is very knowledgeable. Most ancient scientists were polymaths by today's standards”. I can't see the added value of listing all these people, not to mention all the bias and objectivity problems additions and changes have. It has become over 110 people long and the end is not in sight, as many want their favourite polymath on it. I am by far the first to question this article (see its talk page) Joost 99 (talk) 13:11, 4 September 2011 (UTC) (add. see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_polymaths for a discussion of its predecessor). Joost 99 (talk) 13:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this list details individuals who have had been referred to as polymaths by reliable sources, and hence there are few problems with inclusion. If it gets too large, we can break it up alphabetically or chronologically. Being a polymath is subjective, but being "called" one is not. --S Larctia (talk) 15:54, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can't see the added value of deleting this list. The topic is notable as Robert Root-Bernstein, for example, has studdied thousands of polymaths — see Multiple Giftedness in Adults: The Case of Polymaths. Dealing with disputed cases is just a matter of ordinary editing not deletion, per our editing policy. Warden (talk) 18:36, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- "Robert Root-Bernstein studied thousands of polymaths". Thank you for supporting my point ;-) That the topic is notable, is not being denied. Genius is notable and no doubt we can find a lot of people who were called that by a reliable source, but does that make a long list of Geniuses of any value? The reasons for inclusion may be objective, but that does not add any value to the list imo. Joost 99 (talk) 20:22, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep List on a notable subject with substantial references. Criteria for inclusion does not seem as squishy as the nom suggests. I disagree that calling someone a "genius" and calling someone a "polymath" is comparable. Most people don't throw the latter term around like they do with the former. I support the reasons for KEEP given above. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 07:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that in practice Genius is different, but in essence it is exactly the same: a subjective term to describe a persons abilities. I don't think you or I can decide that a subjective term is used wisely and coherently enough (i.e. not using the squishy definition from Wikipedia itself) throughout the world by reliable sources to give this list value. The list theoretically cannot stop including non-polymaths who were named as such (I know, verifiability not truth). If we want that, okay...Joost 99 (talk) 22:16, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This weak page adds nothing to Stone rubbing, which already explains this very technique, though without mentioning the name "takuhon." I found what seems to be a reliable source on this topic (see this), but the technique is still the same as the one described at Stone rubbing. In other words, takuhon (托本, pronounced either tuoben or taben in Chinese) doesn't refer to a peculiarly Japanese technique that would deserve its own wiki. It's simply the Japanese word for "stone rubbing." If "takuhon" deserves its own page, let someone WP:PROVEIT, perhaps by showing that "takuhon" has a special meaning in the study of Japanese calligraphy that "stone rubbing" doesn't have. If that can't be shown, we could add explanations of the term "takuhon" to the Stone rubbing wiki. Because "takuhon" is used in some reliable sources, we should create a redirect to the relevant section of the article on Stone rubbing. Madalibi (talk) 00:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Author of promotional piece for Adelberg villa (http://www.adelberg.com.au/) has removed 2 separate speedy delete tags [inadvertently]. A whois check of domain here confirms that User:Hodgkinph is almost certainly the owner of this business. The article subject is a business whose notability is not credibly asserted in the body of the article. Moogwrench (talk) 08:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article was not indended to be a marketing piece but rather an information piece for the guests to the property relating to the history of the area and information.

First time user of Wiki so some latitude would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hodgkinph (talk • contribs) 09:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But, Hodgkinph, the subject of the article is a private commercial property/villa. And your last post says that the article is written to be a guide for the customers of the Villa. This does not mean that it's a bad or un-informative article; the question is whether or not it belongs in Wikipedia. The core operative criteria there is wp:notability.

If you need understanding the lay of the land in Wikipedia (you being new) ping me and I'd be happy to. North8000 (talk) 13:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am failing to understand the difference between this and say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JW_Marriott_Hotels or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peninsula_Hong_Kong In fact, I would say by providing visitors to Adelberg with information on the history of the area and background to the district is more in line with Wikipedia's objectives (from what I can read). If it needs to be deleted then let me know and I will take it off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ([[User talk:|talk]]) 14:58, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Believe it now passes notability with insertion of reference of business.

First, to clarify I am only trying to help a new person in the ways of Wikipedia rather than debating for a particular decision here. The main guideline that determines whether an stand-alone article for a subject is allowed to exist is whether or not it meets the wp:notability guideline. And, VERY roughly speaking, what's needed for that is a few third party sources having covered the topic (as such) in reasonable depth. And please note that the is for THE SPECIFIC SUBJECT. For example, in order for me to create an article about rock stars who do knitting, I would need to show sources who covered rock stars who do knitting. It would not suffice to find sources covering just rock stars, nor sources for knitting. Sincerely, 15:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)North8000 (talk)

It looks to me like you have interesting and encyclopedic material in there. Possibly that would be good to include in the article on that geographic unit (e.g. town, province) rather than in an article on a nearby commercial property. The property could be worth a mention in that article. North8000 (talk) 21:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      1. Another wikipedia article (not a reliable source)
      2. An itunes link (not significant coverage, and not independent)
      3. A sales chart shich makes no mention of Excelbeats (not significant coverage)
      4. An album review on DJBooth (probably not a reliable source, and not significant coverage as Excel is just a passing mention)
      5. An IMDB link (the link is broken, and should be [29]. IMDB is not a reliable source, and credits aren't significant coverage)
    - What is needed are things like newspaper or magazine articles written about him, or which feature him prominently. Are you aware of any such coverage?

Keep Mabdul is completely wrong. "No real independent third party references talking about that music group with the exception of one small review of one album"? The citations blatantly prove otherwise. There are two separate reviews from two separate legitimate third party sources, unbiased and uninfluenced from the band, for one album in particular, and then an entirely separate review for a second, additional release that you apparently failed to see. Numerous credible third party citations are obvious for other press, containing reviews of albums, interviews, and activity updates, that the band did not do itself, which have been posted on the following reputable and followed websites: Metal Buzz, The Gauntlet, Metal-Rules.com, Metal Forge, and Jam Magazine Online. Additionally, directory posting in Billboard Music Guide, the Metal Archives, and Spirit of Metal have all been provided. This band has also already had a Wikipedia page on the Spanish version of the site, started by another listener, I was merely taking it upon myself as a metal fan to translate an English addition.

This does in fact meet the WP:MUSIC guidelines and Wikipedia regulars unfamiliar with more obscure yet documented acts in metal should not let their bias or unfamiliarity with the content influence snap judgments like this deletion suggestion. I've dealt with this exact situation with countless music pages.

Also, just added yet another review source, this time a scathing review from The Gauntlet, on a single released by the band. 96.22.223.106 (talk) 15:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT DELETE deleting this article is ridiculous. as for the claim of there being only one album and review (which is wrong), The Sex Pistols only ever had one album, so that's really a moot point. since when did the body of work in terms of numbers ever matter?? this artist has plenty of coverage from all over and i myself added another reference. also, there is clearly another album out and another on the way, making it clear that if this article is deleted it is only a matter of time until it's back up. deleting this band from wikipedia is pointless. it's a legit band/artist. i also saw this guy myself in north montreal shred it up during the same weekend of Heavy MTL fest and it was kickass.

Delete - Scandal? To quote one of the "sources", "a handful of China firms" have delisted from the SGX. Hardly a scandal or an event having wide effect on the global markets - at least according to the sources provided in the article. The major effect appears to be that investors now avoid a once darling sector of the SGX. The content of the article is simply a collection of unsupported general statements. The sources are inconsequential at best and do not support the content of the article. Perhaps a userfication is in order.

I have a question for BabbaQ and North8000, how can this be notable if the article subject lacks support?

Keep Has appeared at a notable event, the Cambridge Folk Festival; The Northern Sky Online Music Mag would appear to satisfy WP:RS for folk music subculture; notable folk musicians and folk events may often have relatively small audiences, as per article Cafe church. Also, top ratings on iTunes would appear to be a significant source of public recognition among younger people. Morris is featured in the article about the guitar builder Martin Harrison and demo videos by Cort Guitars, with considerable praise, because he "Has established a tradition or school in a particular genre," as per the criteria "For composers and performers outside mass media traditions." WP:COMPOSER Trilliumz (talk) 03:43, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article about the guitar maker has exactly one sentence about Elliott Morris. It's really a stretch to claim that he was "featured" in that article. It is a passing mention and not significant coverage. The guitar company demo videos are promotional in nature and do not constitute a reliable source to establish notability. To claim that he has "established a tradition or school in a particular genre," as per the criteria "For composers and performers outside mass media traditions" would require a citation to a reliable source that says that, and its a stretch to point to BBC coverage and then go on to claim that he is a performer "outside mass media traditions." That language in intended to refer to performers active before the time of recorded music, or those active in aboriginal cultures.

Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As for the Northern Sky Music Magazine, it is a self-published blog by a fellow named Allan Wilkinson. Its a nice, informative blog but it is not a reliable source of the sort that establishes notability on Wikipedia. As for his appearance at a notable folk festival, please be aware that notability is not inherited. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My interpretation on "mass media traditions" includes "non-commercial genres" like folk music; not sure why a blog couldn't be a legitimate source for folk performers. The American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress calls its folk concerts the Homegrown Concert Series, indicating that DIY is a legitimate part of certain genres of music. Regarding notability purely as a singer-songwriter, then I'd agree with your interpretation, he's not that far along in his career yet. My take on this performer is that there's a strong case for notability because he's breaking some new ground for the folk fingerstyle guitar. Sure hope we're not holding folk genre musicians to commercial music criteria! Trilliumz (talk) 01:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please, let's get real and take a look at the many articles listed under Category:Folk music and its several subcategories. Reliable sources have covered folk music in great detail since long before I was born, and I am 59 years old. A musician doesn't get a free pass from our notability requirements just because that musician claims to be part of the folk music tradition. Wikipedia has many, many article about notable folk musicians. We shouldn't keep articles about not-yet-notable musicians just because they claim to be a part of the folk music genre.

TheLinc describes itself as "Lincoln's premier student publication", and as such is not a reliable, independent source to establish notability of a musician associated with that campus community.

Two problems with this, which I believe can be addressed. First, there are no individual alumni articles, there are sections of alumni listings in the NITs' articles. If this seems suitable, I don't think there will be much harm in making it a list of links to sections. Alternatively, it can be a list of lists, where each article links to the relevant section. Second, the new NITs don't have alumni yet as they just started operating. That means quite a lot of red links in that list. Not a biggie either.

And how will that prevent redundancy? We've been through this exact thing with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indian Institutes of Technology alumni. There are lists in each institute's article. What you are suggesting is to copyright those lists from the articles, which is redundant and requires double the maintenance. --Muhandes (talk) 16:59, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I was unclear, what I mean was that the sections in each article would be replaced with a
See also: List of NIT alumni § (section)
linking to the relevant section. The list would then only be maintained in the one place. It is usually used when the list of people is too large and starts to overwhelm the article, so it is not a standard approach to use in a case like this, but it may be workable here. Monty ₈₄₅ 17:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You say "usually used", but I can't say I am familiar with this way of doing things, can you give some examples? I believe that when the list of people is too large and starts to overwhelm the article, the thing to do is to create an article "List of alumni of X" (random examples, List of alumni of Villanova University, List of alumni of the University of Chile and many more) and link to that, not to a list which combines many other institutes. What's the benefit of doing that? --Muhandes (talk) 20:39, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean to imply that a joint list of alumni (people associated with a place) was a common occurrence, only that splitting out the list from an individual article into an individual list was normal. Creating a join list that way may be a novel approach. But it could be useful to have a list of the combined graduates of the associated institutions, and the joint list with the see also links would be a way to achieve that without duplication. Monty ₈₄₅ 15:02, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it is possible, but what's the benefit of using a form never used in any other list? Resolving duplication would be achieved just as easy in the standard way, and we can keep the original per Sodabottle proposal. --Muhandes (talk) 15:12, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? He's a county supervisor. If he has anything to do with the Congressional elections, the article doesn't mention it. --MelanieN (talk) 03:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard, I made these comments after my web browser had crashed, and previously I must have been looking at a AfD regarding Ricky Gill, and reposted here by mistake.

Delete - subject does not appear to be sufficiently notable to pass WP:ANYBIO or WP:POLITICIAN. Perhaps at best this article can be redirected to an article about the Kern County Board of Supervisors. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unremarkable? Anybody who thinks Kern County, which is larger than many countries and has more oil than most of them, is "unremarkable" should spend a hot summer there. Sincerely, a friend to all, GeorgeLouis (talk) 15:21, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Kern County could be agreed by all as "remarkable", that wouldn't make every county supervisor job in Kern County or every individual who held one of those jobs remarkable. County supervisor is not a top political office anywhere in the US. Msnicki (talk) 15:40, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

California contains 58 counties, each of them "remarkable" in its own way, but that does not mean that every member of every county board of supervisors is notable. "Just being an elected local official...does not guarantee notability," per WP:POLITICIAN. --MelanieN (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. rereading nominator's comment: I don't think they were saying that Kern County is unremarkable (the county does, after all, have a Wikipedia article). I think they were saying that the Kern County board of supervisors is unremarkable, and that may be true. Nobody seems to have written a WP article about the Kern County Board of Supervisors. --MelanieN (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MelanieN's point is valid; maybe an article of that title should be written, now that she has red-linked it. Nevertheless, it seems to me that these remarks demonstrate a rather snobbish attitude toward rural areas in America and writing off a large segment of potential WP readers. Also, distancing Wikipedia from any kind of Notability, rural or not, is not helpful toward Building the Encyclopedia. As for boards of supervisors not being "top political offices anywhere in the U.S.," that is really a matter of opinion: I urge everybody to look at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors as well as the "Five Little Kings" of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Anyway, Mr. Watson seems to have had his share of references in reputable publications, large and small, and he is linked to other WP articles. It is true that just being an elected official does not guarantee Notability, but it certainly depends whether the elected official is a policy-maker, as is a Supervisor, or the county dogcatcher or tax collector.

Delete One of a board governing a population under 900,000, apparently not chair of any committees (do they do it that way?). Seems of purely local interest. And per Herostratus's good arguments below.Johnbod (talk) 23:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Local or not this guy is a character: and because of that reliable sources are covering him. – Lionel ^(talk) 23:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. First of all, this guy is county supervisor, and that is his sole and only claim to notability. It's not like he's even the county executive. We don't go down to this level, and it'd be crazy to start doing it. Kern County is large, but bear in mind that Bakersfield (and Delano &tc.) have their own municipal governments. People in the area who would meet the lowest criteria of WP:POLITICIAN would be 1) the Mayor of Bakersfield (probably) and the county executive of Kern County (possibly), and that's it. If you want to broaden WP:POLITICIAN, fine, but do that first.

Second of all, essentially all of his coverage is in the Bakersfield Californian. That's not multiple sources, and its a local paper, not notable outside the county and questionable even as reliable source. There is a little other coverage, in the Mountain Enterprise, which describes itself as "this tiny mountain weekly newspaper", some quotes in stories in the Central Valley Business Times and the local TV news station and a website, and mere mentions in some other small publications of the "Supervisor Ray Watson was then invited on stage and made brief comments" variety. If there were articles about this guy in the San Francisco or Los Angeles papers or in Time Magazine or whatever, that'd be different. But there aren't. If you want this guy to be notable, get someone outside the county to write at least one story about him.

Third of all, what's the utility of this article? Is this just an excuse to put a bunch of gossip about this guy into the Wikipedia? Looks like it:

"Carpool, 2011. Watson told newspaper columnist Inga Barks that, despite having posed for a billboard urging residents to carpool or walk in order to "Make 1 difference" in the fight against air pollution, he did not walk to work but would be glad to carpool if 'someone is also going in.'"

Oh, OK, Carpoolgate. This is sub-notable local gossip. It's not part of our encyclopedic mission of documenting the historical record of the United States to get down to this level of detail.

Fourth of all, to synthesize all the above, if we go do down this path, it'll be a nightmare. "Residents of Pine Mountain Club were angered by Watson's opposition to the county paying for a permanent ambulance or firefighter paramedics in their small town in the mountains above Frazier Park". OMG. We're going to have to deal with sorting out the reliability and neutrality of material for every local county council feud about whether to hire another deputy or a school secretary in East Jesus, Montana? I sure hope not. Herostratus (talk) 03:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. If East Jesus, Montana, had as much oil, cotton, prisons and country music as Kern County does, I should hope somebody would write an article about the Notable people who make up its governing body. (Being new to this county and having lived in metropolitan areas all my life I have never before experienced such rank prejudice against rural areas as I have in reading some of the comments above. Now I know what discrimination feels like.) OK, I will add the part about Ray Watson being elected chairman of the Board of Supervisors — there is no county executive—but you'll have to settle for The Californian again, since it would be hard to cite the local radio station and TV station, which also use that news, and, believe it or not, kinda find it Notable.. And last I looked, there is a citation to the Los Angeles Times in the article. I must say that this nomination is resulting in the article's getting better and better. And I don't even like the guy's politics; I would vote against him in a flash. Sincerely, still your friend, GeorgeLouis (talk) 10:55, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, anyway, I found some television-station cites, and stuck 'em in. GeorgeLouis (talk) 11:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The population of Kern County is about the same as Indianapolis, and I wouldn't want or expect an article on a city councilor in Indianapolis. But it's worse than that: Bakersfield has its own city government. They hire their own police and fire and teachers and pave their own streets and have their own city ordinances and so forth. Because of this, the county government doesn't have that much effect on Bakersfield which has about 40% of the population of Kern County. And ditto for Delano and Arvin and so on. So it's more like a city councilor in Indianapolis if Indianapolis neighborhoods mostly had their own mayors and budgets and provided their own services. Also, I don't see the LA Times in any of the refs. There are (at this writing) 14 refs, and 7 of them are the Californian. Of the other 7: 2 are KGET-TV, 2 are the Taft Midway Driller, and the others are the Mountain Enterprise, Frazier Park Online, and Watson's page at the Kern County website. These are all local refs. Herostratus (talk) 06:44, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I suspect that the subject might be a borderline case with respect to WP:GNG, although I don't feel very strongly about deleting the page or not. However, I have a WP:BLP concern about the page. Much of the sourcing refers to events that can be construed as presenting the subject as a sort of crackpot, with the result that the page comes across as mocking the subject a little bit. It seems to me that BLP permits such a page, but only if the sourcing meets a very high standard, and that might not be the case here. Either there needs to be more material establishing the subject as a substantive public servant, or there needs to be more sourcing of a clearly non-local and non-gossipy nature. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

L.A. Times link Somehow that paragraph got deleted. It has now been returned to its rightful place. Also, WP:Reliable does not require sources to be in metropolitan newspapers that are headquartered some 112 miles away from the subject of the article. (Click the link to see how far.) Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I'm not talking (now) about WP:RELIABLE but WP:NOTABLE. Let's take a look at the article Joe Blow (schoolbus driver). Mr Blow drove a school bus in Quincy, Massachusetts for 40 years, and when he retired the Quincy Patriot Ledger (circulation 66,000; the Bakersfield Californian has 70,000) published a feature article on him in the Our Town section ("Local School Bus Driver Drove 3 Generations of Quincy Schoolchilren"). About 20 years ago there was an accident where a child was injured, and this was a big deal in Quincy, and Mr Blow (who was involved but not at fault) was interviewed, briefly profiled, and extensively quoted in a front-page article. There were a couple of smaller articles about the incident where Mr Blow was mentioned, and his testimony at the inquest was quoted in another article. In addition, Mr Blow was an active in the local Elks Lodge and was noted on the paper three times in this connection: once when he was made Exalted Ruler of the local lodge, once when he announced that the lodge was making a large donation to a charity building schools in Afghanistan, and once when he was feted for long service. He was mentioned and briefly quoted when his son was drafted by the Detroit Tigers, and again when his wife won a blue ribbon at the Quincy Flower Show. He was quoted in a article describing a rally protesting the Goodridge v. Department of Public Health ruling, there were a couple of other mentions of his name in various notices, and then there was his obituary. That's 14 refs, two of them being extensive pieces substantially about him and several others quoting him. So my question is should Joe Blow (schoolbus driver) have an article? If you agree with Brandon Mendelson he should, and in that case Mr Watson is in also along with a substantial percentage of the population of my town (and yours). I think that'd be unsustainable and any ability to maintain these articles would collapse under the weight. Granted, we're not going to actually add 40,000,000 new biographical articles under the new "Raymond Watson" precedent, but that just highlights that there's no reason we should make an exception for Mr Watson. Herostratus (talk) 05:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Representation. Commenting on some statements made by my friend Tryptofish: There are only three incorporated cities in Mr. Watson's district—Wasco, Taft and Maricopa. Wasco contracts with Kern County for fire and police. Taft and Maricopa for fire only. Health, libraries, social services, etc., in those cities go through the county. Mr. Watson may represent just a tiny part of Bakersfield, but not much that a squib, according to the map at http://www.taftmidwaydriller.com/highlight/x1249735123/Kern-Supervisors-district-being-redrawn?photo=0.

Delete. Again, this is just someone using the "find" function on a bunch of economics papers and gluing what they find together without regard to whether "dominant group" is actually a thing in economics. Insofar as it is a thing, it's the sociological term - economics does not have its own definition - as used in section 1, and the other sections are useless. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 06:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was prepared to accept this, but a closer look at the sources convinces me that there is SYNTH going on here. The strongest source (no. 1 in the current version), which promises a kind of definition, is less than it seems: "Observes that while elites and minorities in Canada are clearly defined, the category of "dominant group" has unclear limits and varies from one geographical region to another."

This article focusses on the collective work of Paul Nathanson and Katherine K. Young both of whom have their own articles. There are a number issues here:

This article suffers from original research by synthesis. It relies on mainly primary sources (the books themselves), and 2 newspaper reviews (of individual books) to talk about the body of work by these authors. There has been no scholarly 3rd party work doing this thus far.
The content herein should either be covered in the biographical articles for the authors or in articles about the individual books where notable.

Redirect and Comment. My reading of the article's talk page is that the article was created to try to improve our Misandry page by removing excessive use there of the particular point of view pushed by Nathanson and Young. I have made a little section on Nathanson's page Paul_Nathanson#Misandry and I think we could usefully redirect there or to Misandry. I think redirect might be better than delete to avoid loosing what appear to me some possibly useful good faith contributions. (Msrasnw (talk) 09:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

"One prominent retail complex is the Grove Square shopping mall, which has a JCPenney anchor store.

This individual is notable based on the ties to prominent figures he is involved with and the extent and size of the charitable organizations he belongs to, he also serves as a role model and an example that individuals in the financial services industry are not all corrupt and there are some that are in it based on goodwill and are try to make a difference for the better of society.

Delete. Notability is not inherited. Personal and/or professional associations with prominent persons do not establish notability. Could not find references to support claim of being honored as "U.S. Army Athlete of the Year". Notability is additionally not established through significant coverage in reliable and independent secondary sources. Cind.amuse (Cindy) 01:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do not Delete. Notability is definitely established by association and the relationships held with notable personalities and organizations. For example, take a look at Eugene E. Parker, sports agent for NFL players such as Deion Sanders and others, Mr. Parker is notable for being excellent at representing and making great deals for this athlete clients, Just like Mr. Ortez is notable for running top-tier investment strategies for his athlete clients and helping them grow their wealth. Other examples, Judy Harrison Barry, philanthropist known exclusively for her desire to make a difference in her North Carolina community, has ties to politicians is not a politician herself, but is notable for her drive and her philanthropic efforts, think Martin Luther King, another great figure known for philanthropy and advocating rights. Last example, Kirk Sommer, entertainment agent for William Morris agency, notable and made notable by the A list clients he represents and for the quality and caliber of his work for them, just like Mr. Ortez is in the field of wealth management for his A list clients. These are professionals known and notable in their respective fields as experts that excel at their craft. They may not be notable to all of us, but they sure are notable in the specific niche industries and areas of expertise. Do not delete, thank you for your input.

- Comment. Notability is a metric term used on Wikipedia to identify topics warranting an encyclopedia article. In general, notability is an attempt to assess whether the topic has "enduring notability", as evidenced by significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic. Stating that a subject lacks notability as it relates to Wikipedia guidelines is not a statement made to discredit the individual in any way. While an individual may be successful, prominent, or important in their profession and personal endeavors, they may still lack notability, as defined by the community guidelines for editing Wikipedia.

Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources WP:RS to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Googling suggests there aren't any. As Cindamuse explained, notability has a much more technical definition on WP than many new editors expect. It's not enough that the subject seems notable, i.e., worthy of note. To be notable on WP, other people with no connection to the subject have to actually take note and they have to do it in reliable sources.

Comment - I am finding indications that there are a number of Georgia businesses using the phrase "Inland Empire" as part of their business names, indicating to me that the term has at least some local currency. Is it notable in Wikipedia terms? That's more difficult; I'm not finding anything. The phrase refers to a very concrete area in California and Washington states; the Georgia use seems more sketchy. Still, Wikipedia typically makes use of a very low bar for geographic places, so I hesitate to advise deletion. We'll leave it with this comment and a question mark...

Comment.Yes, I have been relisting AFDs for years and have seen many of your AFDs collect dust for 2 or 3 weeks. I'm beginning to wonder if your nominations are being boycotted by both the faces and the heels :) --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I have added two sources to the article. The book details the recording dates and venues for each of the songs, while the Allmusic review offers a fair amount of coverage. If kept, the article's title should be changed to From Newport to the Ancient Empty Street in LA, as that's what the bootleg is named in both sources (as well as the passing mention here).

Weak Keep per the two sources. seems to be no interest in the true sense of the word to delete this article.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:53, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced bio of a child actor fails WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:NOTRESUME. I did find an article about the subject here in a community newspaper, but no other substantial coverage. Pburka (talk) 13:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio. I've just discovered that the article is a blatant copy of the actor's autobiography from his website. I've marked the article as such. Pburka (talk) 13:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The copyvio issue has been resolved by reverting to an older version. Thanks to User:Minimac. Pburka (talk) 12:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nn. I can't find any coverage in RSes. The one story linked above is just local interest. Reso lute 04:53, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD with no reason given. PROD reason was "Non-notable youth player who has never appeared in a fully-professional league. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY."

The few third-party articles about him [32], [33] (in Greek) are WP:ROUTINE. Kosm1fent ^{Won't you talk to me?} 18:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because he is Panathianikos goalkeeper, who plays in the highest professional football league in Greece. (For example, look at this site.) Alex^{discussion ★} 18:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per comment below. Alex^{discussion ★} 21:18, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as stated above, there is insufficient coverage for him to meet WP:GNG, and contrary to the previous comment, he is not notable for his contract to Panathianikos does make him notable until he actually plays a game, which to date he has not done. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:59, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment he does play games. His last match was on 28 August 2011. Alex^{discussion ★} 19:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm, it actually says zero games, which means he hasn't played... and to remove any doubt: [34] (ΚΑΠΙΝΟΣ ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΣ) Kosm1fent ^{Won't you talk to me?} 19:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
