I politely informed the new Wikipedia user where they could post this information if it wasn't already there. http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Outfits Instead of just nominating things for deletion, and calling them "cruft", its best to explain things to people, and point them to where they can find a wiki that's right for them. Dream Focus 20:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification - For starters, it's a copy/paste from the Red Dead Wiki. I had already informed the user in the edit history when I PRODed the article, and the creator responded in a way that seemed he/she understood. I don't just drop the "cruft" tag, and also don't appreciate the accusation. --Teancum (talk) 14:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination was fine. I should've said "instead of just saying delete and calling things cruft"... that is rude for a new user to have to endure.

Definite Keep... In considering WP:NOEFFORT and WP:UGLY, the nominator's complaint that the article sat unsourced is a pretty weak deletion rationale when even a little WP:BEFORE shows sources toward the topic are available... and more, sources need NOT have been in the article for topic notability to exist. Heck... per WP:HANDLE and WP:ATD, he might even have improved it himself. Of course, now that this AFD has forced cleanup we can close this and move on.

Non-notable fictional character. No indication of notability, lacks GHITS and GNEWS of substance. Possible hoax. reddogsix (talk) 20:15, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not a hoax in the traditional sense, as it is clear that this is a "fanfiction based character". However, that doesn't make it any more notable. Zero independent coverage whatsoever. The article doesn't even bother to name the fanfiction this character appeared in, or provide a link to its location, in the unlikely case that the work or its author would have had sufficient notability for an article and thus a redirect (which I'm reasonably certain would not be the case). In short, there's no place for this here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:34, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dermasurgeon[edit]

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

Article was a redirect to Dermatologic surgeon until User:DrDermatology converted it to article. Several reverts later, DrD insist the target is inappropriate and so the article. However the article as it stands is a dictionary definition and not an encyclopedic article.

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

-- KTC (talk) 19:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to the redirect and protect if necessary. The term is in use, as a google scholar search will indicate. However, there does not seem to be any substantive light between "dermasurgeon" and "dermatologic surgeon". Indeed, most of the references to the former term come from the pages of the journal Dermatologic Surgery (this for example). Some of the contention probably arises from the lack of an article at dermatologic surgery, which currently redirects to the parent dermatology (and so dermasurgery would as well, to avoid a double redirect).

Redirect both to Dermatologic surgeon, protect if necessary. I see from the history that User:DrDermatology insists that the terms are not equivalent - that "dermatologic surgeons" must be board certified in dermatology while "dermasurgeons come from many fields". However, I could find no verification of that distinction in a search - in fact the terms appear to be used interchangeably by those few people who do use the term - so the distinction appears to be original research. It also doesn't square with my experience, which is that physicians may call themselves a "dermatologic surgeon" regardless of whether or not they are board certified in dermatology. --MelanieN (talk) 19:20, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Succubi in fiction[edit]

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

This article is just an exhaustive listing of everytime a succubus is mentioned in a work of fiction, with no analysis of the topic itself. The entire content is one large, mostly unsourced, triviafarm. While these statements may be appropriate in their own respective articles, clumping them all here is not. Cleaning out the inappropriate trivia to comply with WP:NOT (NOTDIR, IINFO) and WP:TRIVIA would render the article barren. Since there is so little to work with here in developing an encyclopedic article on the subject, and since the article has not been cleaned up or improved in the 5+ years since the last AfD, delete per WP:NOT and WP:TRIVIA.

Redirect to Succubus, no merge.--Lenticel ^(talk) 02:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm undecided so far. There might actually be value in compiling a list of this nature and having a page about succubi in fiction, as such a list would probably be too long to include in the main succubi article. I do, however, agree that some of the listing of succubi in this article is a little tenuous at best. I'm going to look at this a little longer, but it might be better to rename this "list of succubi in fiction" and prune the list, providing better sourcing for what we have. (Although I do notice that at least everything in the article generally already has an article page to refer back to.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:20, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is our explicit policy that articles may start with a few facts and be built up from there.

The problem isn't the topic, but the content. Everything from "literature" on down is inappropriate trivia of this nature, passing mentions of minor characters and the like. Cleaning that up would leave an introductory sentence without any content. An encyclopedic article on this topic might well be possible, but that article would include none of this material.

Rename to List of succubi in fiction and keep. I don't agree that this list is as hopeless as the nominator states. The list is almost entirely bluelinks, and while I am not sufficiently conversant with the gaming world to evaluate that section quickly, most of the items under "literature" and "film" appear to belong, so even if the crufty entries are appropriately deleted, the list will be too long to go back into the succubus article. The list appears valuable for navigating the topic, and I don't see how deleting it is going to improve the reader's understanding of how the succubus motif is used.--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:50, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and Keep per Arxiloxos. Its fairly common to have "XXX In Popular Culture" or other such articles and lists spin out of subjects like this. It could certainly use some cleanup work in some parts, but its a valid split from the main Succubus article, and too long to simply remerge. Rorshacma (talk) 19:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and Keep per the above two rationales. Aside from the obvious differences over what policy on such lists actually means, the nominator has failed to articulate why this article could not be improved through regular editing. Jclemens (talk) 20:40, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My strict belief is that if an article has no content of redeeming value, such as this, then it should be deleted. Even if there could be an encyclopedic article under the subject, if nothing under the current article belongs in the encyclopedic article, then remove the current schlock without prejudice to proper article in the future. Hopefully this will be enshrined within policy someday, but until then thank God we have WP:IAR. This article has not been improved in the 5+ years since the last AfD, which ended with a "keep and lets hope it will be cleaned up someday" type consensus. That hasn't yet happened and there's little chance that it will in the next 5 years without some incentive, which I had hoped this AfD would provide. But no, we're just going to willfully ignore this cruftfest and let it linger on as an embarrassment and a legitimate reason why we're mocked as an encyclopedia. I was once optimistic about this project, but discussions like this show that the project may not ever be regarded as a serious encyclopedia because much of the community doesn't want it to be!

Oppose I really haven't been given much opportunity to expand this article, but I feel that with five corporate logos, it is too much and really unnecessary for all of them to be included in the main Walmart article.

Merge, with comments: The list is too short to warrant its own article, and doesn't offer any significant improvement over what's already in Walmart. (I proposed this article's deletion previously, for the same reason.)
- I'd also like to offer some counter-arguments to the reasons given by Wiki.Tango.Foxtrot (talk · contribs) when we discussed this earlier, in favour of keeping the list. One reason was that the article is too long; it is true that the Walmart article is long, but removing the images from it will not significantly decrease its size (instead, sub-sections could be split off into new pages, providing they are large enough to stand alone). I suggested that the logos could be placed in a collapsible table or image gallery.
- It was also stated that image galleries are not recommended per the WP:MOS; what I found there states that it is not advisable to include a large gallery on a page because it may contribute significantly to the page's download size (and thus rendering time, etc). Nothing would be changed in that respect by adding a gallery at the bottom of the page; instead, the images would remain there in a place where they wouldn't interrupt the flow of the text.
- The Google logo article was cited as an example of precedent for articles about the history of a company's visual identity. While I agree that there is sense in having the Google article, this page doesn't really add anything to what is in the Walmart article, from what I can see. If there was more background information of some sort, as there is with the Google article, it might be perfectly fine. As it stands, though, I think it's unnecessary. dalahäst ^{(let's talk!)} 21:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was unable to find any reliable sources to show that this student created collection of essays has any notability as far as Wikipedia goes. It seems to have gone the way of most student created anthologies, receiving no coverage from the press and quickly sinking into oblivion. This isn't a knock against it or its intentions, just that very very few student created projects ever receive anything beyond a mention in a local paper, if even that. Given that this was written back in 2005/2006 and it didn't get coverage back then, it's just very unlikely that it will receive enough in the future to warrant a keep. Heck, from what I can figure, this isn't even actually a book, but a collection of blogs [3]. Not that this is a knock against blogs or that they can't become notable, but there doesn't seem to be any actual hard copy of this blog and the blog itself hasn't been updated since 2006, which makes it even more unlikely that it'll get coverage at or beyond this point.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:37, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree that it's a rather minimalist article which could do with a lot of expansion, but anyone who's the "Secretary" (ie CEO) of the MCC is in my opinion notable - certainly far more so than some player who has played only one first-class match. There's a citation from the Daily Telegraph, and I'd expect it to be easy enough to find plenty more. About a minute's work on Google turned up this article from The Guardian. JH (talk page) 18:34, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Agree with JH. The article isn't in great shape, but he has significant coverage in independent reliable sources. In addition to the two sources in the article and the source JH points out, there is also this from the BBC. Also agree that Secretary of the MCC is probably an inherently notable position.

Genesis 1:4[edit]

A single verse in the bible, already covered in Genesis creation narrative, Bereshit, and elsewhere. Its content is limited to translations (which are already listed on other WM projects, making it a close candidate for db-transwiki). The community has largely spoken elsewhere that some verses are appropriate (such as John 3:16 and Genesis 1:1), but not every verse, and not those without extensive commentary which can't be fit on another, larger page. This article clearly fits that criteria, as it has no content and is already covered elsewhere. — Jess· Δ ♥ 16:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Conservapedia is thattaway... ---> Carrite (talk) 18:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per outcomes at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:2 (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:1 (2nd nomination), and prior consensus at Wikipedia:Bible verses/2010. There is, in fact, no consensus that I'm aware of that any sacred writings of whatever religion are inherently non-notable. While translations could be covered in Wikisource, major world religions have numerous RS commentaries that go verse-by-verse through their entirety. Additionally, the above nomination does not articulate any issue with this particular verse that cannot be fixed through regular editing. Likewise, coverage of a supertopic does not preclude coverage of notable subtopics. Jclemens (talk) 19:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Any of the "sacred writings"? Really? So we should have individual articles on each individual word in the entire bible? After all there is plenty of writing on many individual words. Of course, that would be absolutely ridiculous. If we covered that at all, we'd combine it into one larger article relating to the passage, the section, or the work overall. So to with the verses. You appear to be supportive of an article for each and every verse in the bible. That's millions of articles, just to cover what we already do in Bible (and subarticles: Book of Genesis, Bereshit, Noah's Ark, etc). I don't know how we could possibly justify that, particularly in light of the fact that the sole content here just about qualifies for db-transwiki, given that it's unsourced, lacking commentary, and entirely listed translations. How is that encyclopedic? — Jess· Δ ♥ 14:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you actually read Wikipedia:Bible verses/2010? My position is unchanged since then: each verse--or equivalent in other writings--that has RS coverage is eligible for a separate article per the GNG. Not just Christian or Jewish writings, but any sacred text that's attracted any commentary, whether devotional, theologic, or academic. Judeochristian writings have better coverage as of now, but yes, this can and ultimately should be expanded to every major religious source document to the level that individual verses (or other smallest elements) receive appropriate RS commentary. Jclemens (talk) 00:42, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming I grant that each verse should be covered in detail, how does keeping an article which nearly meets a speedy deletion criteria benefit us in any way? This article has no sources and no content (except for content explicitly excluded from WP per policy). Furthermore, even if that wasn't the case, and the article had a basic amount of detail, then what benefit is served by keeping this article and not merging with a parent, like Genesis creation narrative, Book of Genesis, Bereshit, Let there be light, etc... where this material is already covered?

I've quite obviously read the previous discussions on this matter. The one you quote from 2 years ago was short and poorly represented, even still with diverse opinions. You say your opinion hasn't changed since then, which I would sum up with your first comment: Bare (non-copyrighted) religious texts belong at Wikisource, encyclopedic discussion of such texts using RS'es belongs at Wikipedia. I agree. There is no encyclopedic discussion or commentary in this article, nor anything drawn from RSes, only bare translations, and so it belongs on another project, not here. — Jess· Δ ♥ 05:06, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the article on Genesis. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:29, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because Genesis 1:1-5 (i.e. the first five verses of the Book of Genesis) are one logical set that contains the details of the First Day of creation according to the Bible, that would make them a key axiom and foundation for everything else that follows in the Bible. That is why thus far multiple AfDs to do away with the first 2 verses' articles have failed, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:1 (2nd nomination) & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:2 (2nd nomination) and why this article as well as the two others about Genesis 1:3 and Genesis 1:5 are to be kept as a complete coherent set since it makes no sense that there are articles for the first two verses of Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 describing the First Day of Creation (i.e. the most important event when everything begins according to Judeo-Christian civilization), and not for the three others that are part of one set. No one imagines that a famous paragraph consisting of five sentences (the Bible's opening paragraph) should only cite two sentences, as that would make no sense even in human terms. Thus these are both WP:N and there are plenty of WP:RS to back them up as they could obviously be developed even more. IZAK (talk) 23:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If these 5 verses are one unit which is notable, then there should be a single article on that unit. We shouldn't have individual articles on the pieces of the unit, particularly when we have no actual content with which to flesh them out past a speedy deletion criteria. We already have Book of Genesis and Genesis creation narrative, as well as Bereshit and the parshas, as well as the Islamic articles, as well as other individual sections (like Let there be light)... all devoted to just this content. Those should be sufficient to cover any material which is notable from this verse. Why do we need a separate article to do that? Why not a separate article for each word? — Jess· Δ ♥ 14:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because Bible verses are notable in and of themselves, and have been cited extensively for millennia on their own and carry their own weight, while words alone are not as significant although they can be, as even letters can be crucial since the Bible is originally written in Hebrew using the Hebrew alphabet as its building blocks (it all depends how deep you want to study it). In addition, it make no sense to only cite verses 1 and 2 that speak of creation and "darkness" and skip out on verses 3 to 5 that continue with "light" and hence the creation of day (i.e. the Earthly embodiment of "light") and night (i.e. the Earthly embodiment of "darkness"). IZAK (talk) 18:03, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, based on the extensive literature discussing allegorical interpretations specifically of this verse, both Jewish (e.g. the Zohar) and Christian (e.g. Augustine: "a separation was made between the holy and the unclean angels"). There's a quite substantial article to be written here. The article should also summarise the extensive range of artwork on the subject, e.g. Separation of Light from Darkness. -- 202.124.75.177 (talk) 01:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The page contains very little commentary, and even that reads like obvious WP:OR. It would be possible to create an article, but this is not it. I cannot even see any point keeping the page history behind a redirect.

Keep - Poor writing is not a reason for deletion. This article clearly passes our general notability guideline, as a simple Google Books search demonstrates. If the article cannot currently stand on its own, it should be redirected to Genesis creation narrative. There is no added benefit to getting rid of the page history. Neelix (talk) 15:31, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with redirection. In fact, I initially made this a redirect, but it was reverted by IZAK who believes the article should be kept (not as a redirect). That is what precipitated this AfD. Given the current state of the article, I assume redirection (thus, deletion of the article content) would be preferable to you? There's no reason we need to get rid of the history to do that. — Jess· Δ ♥ 16:31, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An IP editor has extended the article to an extent that redirection is no longer an option, and merging would not be preferable. The article should be kept as is and expanded. Neelix (talk) 12:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Genesis creation narrative. Thanks, — Jasonasosa 15:58, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Let there be light, the article which talks about the content of this verse (and Genesis 1:3, the specific source of that phrase, which should also redirect there). In general, I don't think that independent articles on each Bible verse are warranted. Yes, there are certainly sources which focus attention on each in turn, but that does not necessitate that each receives an article any more than detailed analyses of Shakespeare suggest that we should have articles for each individual act of his plays. In this case, however, the content of the verse is well known (much more so that chapter-and-verse number, unlike, say, John 3:16), and so WP:COMMONNAME suggests that's where we should host the content. Not coincidentally, the article there is, while still in dire need of improvement, better than what this AFD is looking at now. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:DONOTDEMOLISH ~~as it's only a stub at this point and I have added ((rabbi-stub)) to it.~~ The man is notable being that he was a rosh yeshiva (a very rare and prestigious position and honor in the world of Torah Judaism) and there will be more citations forthcoming.

Keep He's actually somewhat well known, it's just not that evident from the article (which yes, needs both expansion and citations). The spelling of his name here is not the most common spelling I find when I do google searches. If you want to see proof of more sources, אריה פרומר (his hebrew name - 61 books),aryeh tzvi fromer (3 books), aryeh tzvi frumer (4 books), aryeh zvi frumer (5 books). A few other assorted spellings reveals a small number of other citations. I won't bother to dig though every possible iteration, and there's obviously overlap, but the point is he's been cited in 70 or so books. He also written at least 2 books, and his commentaries were assembled into a modern passover hagaddah. --Bachrach44 (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, I do suggest that the article be renamed to a more common transliteration of rabbi Frommer/Fromer/Frumer/?s name. Perhaps Bachrach44 can advise on which would be the best choice here? -- BenTels (talk) 11:34, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the definition asserted by the government in Parhat is adopted, then the term would seem to require a close operational nexus in the current armed conflict.

The court did not find that the evidence adduced established that ETIM is sufficiently connected to Al Qaeda to be an "associated force," as the government had defined the concept, but the decision might have come out differently if the court had adopted a plain-language interpretation of "associated force."

Parhat, who the US military claimed was at a Uighur training camp in Afghanistan in 2001, was captured in Pakistan in the fall of 2001. A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found in June that there was no persuasive evidence to support the government's labeling of him as an enemy combatant.

Given the time -- a period of three years after 9/11 in which there had been no attack on the United States -- and the firm sense that the conflict would be indefinite, the latter option was, from the perspective of a commitment to legality, by far the the better choice. Congress would have been required to devise a comprehensive regime for arrest and detention and probably, given the inevitability of some criminal trials, for prosecution as well. Because that did not happen, CSRTs are operating without any legislative authorization, are not according to recent lower court decisions following their own procedures and the procedures themselves are under increasing critique (a problem at which the Supreme Court could only vaguely gesture.)

Note to closing administrator -- ((afd)) is not a vote, as I understand it, you have the authority to discount arguments that are inaccurate, or are counter-policy. Hofaiza Parhat is one of the most significant Guantanamo captives due to the significant ruling in his DTA appeal. Nominator claimed there were no secondary sources that supported his notability. Wrong. Several books and and scholarly articles devoted page after page to the ruling. In doing so they provided plenty of biographical details about the man himself.
Two of the contributors above assert that the references to Parhat are only "passing mentions". That is true for some but by no means all of these references. However, even if, for the sake of argument, all the references for some topic each only touched on that topic in a single paragraph, but each of those single paragraphs covered a different aspect of the topic, added together they would add up to the coverage in depth we expect in an article.

Martin Pickford[edit]

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

I actually think this article would normally warrant a prod/csd as there are no provided sources which are actually on Martin Pickford, however I decided to err on the side of conservative deletion/more discussion. So, my claim is this BLP is not sufficiently notable and is currently not verifiable. There are three external links, one is an aggregation of Martin's papers and the other two concern his discovery of Orrorin tugenensis, however none of these articles are actually about him. They're all about his discovery of tugenensis (which certainly meets notability and verifiability requirements - which is probably why it has its own article) and though very interesting, in its current state, I don't think it meets Wikipedia's standard for notability/verifiability. --Carbon Rodney 15:04, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, well if you can insert reliable sources for some of the article's claims that would be a good reason not to delete it. Currently my issue with the article is not so much whether he is a sufficiently well known palaeontologist or whether there are enough links in the article to papers he's written and more the fact that the article consists of six paragraphs of text with zero citations and only one of those paragraphs isn't about tugenensis (so the article indicates to me, that he has done one very famous thing - if he is famous for more, I'd love to see a paragraph about it but at the moment it looks like the only reason this article exists is because his tugenensis find is so notable that some of its notability has spilt onto him). --Carbon Rodney 00:08, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (moved here from Talk page, by Smalljim) When I started editing Wikipedia, I recall reading that deletionists should wait when a short article appeared as some editors build their articles between saves. Bashereyre (talk) 07:01, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Despite what he hints at, Bashereyre's editing record shows that he's far more interested in achieving a high article creation count than in expanding any of the thousands of stubs he's produced. It's only when they're threatened with deletion that he takes any significant action to build on them. However, a couple of previous AfDs suggested that the consensus view is that these stubs are a net benefit to WP, or at least do no harm. —SMALL JIM 11:06, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - WP:NFOOTBALL actually states that anyone who has appeared in a fully professional league is presumed to be notable. While Portsmouth plays in a fully professional league, Maloney appears to not have played in a league match. He has appeared in a League Cup match between two fully professional teams, but NFOOTBALL does not mention cup matches (although the essay WP:FOOTYN does appear to include cup matches).Nigel Ish (talk) 17:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Because the Football League Cup is a competition restricted to members of the Football League, a fully professional league, appearances in it have for as long as I can remember counted as passing WP:NFOOTBALL and that guideline's predecessors. Mr Maloney played in a Football League Cup tie for a high-profile third-tier club. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't wildly disagree that Maloney is probably notable (although the fact that Pompey have just signed 10 players on one month contracts [5] may reduce the chances of Maloney playing more matches in the near future). Perhaps someone needs to clarify NFOOTBALL about matches between fully professional teams in cup competions.Nigel Ish (talk) 11:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The concerns brought forth by the nominator are editorial matters and not valid reasons to delete the article. I see no glaring BLP issues in the article, but if there is unsourced, factually incorrect information in the article, then the offending content should be removed, not the entire article.

"Regard for the subject's privacy" does not mean the subject can request deletion because he or she does not want to be represented on Wikipedia. Your username suggests you are the subject of the article. Feel free to remove any information which is "not available publicly"; I don't see anything that obviously fits that definition, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It looks like some of it may have been removed already, although I'm really not sure what information you considered potentially harmful here. --BDD (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think she fails WP:ATHLETE as she has not participated at an Olympics, there aren't specific Rowing criteria and there isn't really enough in the article to meet GNG. Not sure if competing in the World Championships is enough, or does it have to be the olympics? We may need some rowing topic experts here. Mattlore (talk) 06:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. WP:ATHLETE requires that an individual "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics" (emphasis added). I'm pretty sure that competing in the World Rowing Championships is considered "highest level" in this sport. That being said, notability is still borderline at best as far as WP:GNG is concerned, so I think we should be able to take the subject's wishes into account here. I have provided Annabelclair (talk · contribs) instructions on how to contact the Foundation to verify that she is indeed Annabel Ritchie and not an impostor. If a member of the OTRS team comes here to say that she has done so, then I will switch my !vote to delete. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per WP:ATHLETE because she has competed at International Rowing Events. Has sufficient media coverage from reliable sources - her concerns with any inaccuracy could be easily addressed by editing the article. A quick Google search seems to verify the information in the article as it presently stands. There does not seem to be anything that is not already in the public arena.

Keep - Ritchie has competed as a rower at the top level of her sport (World Championships) as confirmed here from the 1999 World Championships. Per WP:BLP, we can remove the unsourced material, and if applicable, Wikipedia:Revision deletion might be applicable, but none of those are reasons for deletion of the article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:44, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I did not realize who recommended the deletion. Regardless, I believe that the article does meet notability guidelines. I came across the article Here after looking up books on social media. I came across his book, then him, then Wiki. Was surprised as I thought the original article was good but it was denied due to lack of sources as the only ones it contained were self published I believe. I am writing from my phone so when I get to a computer I will do more research and hopefully come up with more reliable sources. Also, as you say it is written like an ad, any suggestions on how to make it read less like an ad would be appreciated. Thanks. --Morning277 (talk) 14:55, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Note I found the CNN link. It's a blog post. Nothing wrong with that, but does little in my view to help establish notability. We need independent third party references about Mr. Nicholls to help with that.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 14:39, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Citations - I agree that there must be independent and reliable sources to support notability. I found additional sources that I believe count towards notability. There is one of him giving an interview on Money Sense Radio where he is cited as a "pioneer in social media for business."[6] He is also featured in Industry News Weekly.[7] The Courier Journal quotes him in an article (this is borderline passing mention but I believe that it would help establish notability).[8] Here is an article in Tech Journal that quotes him.[9] There is one from Philly.com but it is a reprint of the St.Louse dispatch (not to be used as an additional source but I believe it lends more credibility to the St. Louis Dispatch article that is cited by Carrite below.[10]--Morning277 (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - 1300 members (as stated in the article) is large for a church, but not notably large -- there are no doubt thousands or more of similarly sized churches in the world. It also has a reasonably long history, although not always under this name -- length of existence is another consideration under WP:NONPROFIT. But it's not particularly long in terms of churches and religious organizations. None of the other facts specified in the article suggest notability under WP:NONPROFIT.

Seems to fail WP:MUSIC. The article is very promotional in tone. All of the sources are local coverage from the Bad Axe paper, self-promoting quotes from others on the National Grandparents' Day website, or trivial (a two-sentence review on his single, a couple brief blurbs in the Detroit Free Press — "Disc of the week" is definitely trivial). A search on Google News found nothing that wasn't from the Bad Axe paper, and Google Books gave nothing. This article has a lot of words, but says very little about what makes Prill notable. Having a lot of famous people give you lip service is not notability. Even his official song for Grandparents' Day is barely an assertation, as I can't find any secondary sources to verify it.

Keep Passes WP:GNG. This is a topic that is already covered elsewhere in the encyclopedia and has reliable sourcing. Thus there is no case here for deletion of the redirect, and no case is being made that there is objectionable material in the edit history that requires deletion. I agree that the article has promotional tone, but so too does the article here and here. IMO the attention given to Prill by Stabenow and Seeger contributes to wp:notability. The Carter picture, comment, and signature is interesting; it doesn't in prose show that Carter knew anything about Prill except his first name; yet attention goes from the former president to Prill's connection to National Grandparent's Day.

You really think having famous people kiss your ass = notability? WP:NOTINHERITED. All they did was pimp him out. They are not reviewers. Every argument you've made so far is "He's notable because he has a tangential tie to another notable thing", "What about X?", and your "already covered elsewhere"/"has reliable sourcing" comment is immaterial. This has nothing to do with National Grandparents Day's notability; it has to do with his notability. Just because the holiday is notable, doesn't mean he is.

It is not reliably sourced, the so called "National Grandparents' Day website" is Prill's own personal website, not an independent reliable source. The only reason that this info exists here in three different places is because one person decided to spam the same cruft into three different places. He claims to have the "official" song but who makes it official? the National Grandparents Day Council of Chula Vista, California. Who are they? What makes what they say official for a public holiday? Was the song official for only the year in which he won the contest then official goes on to the next winner? We don't know cause it's a minor contest reliable sources don't seem to be covering and the only info we are getting is coming from Prill himself.

The newspaper in the current discussion is available worldwide on the www. As for the Stabenow reference, it is a picture of a letter from a senator. It is either reliable or it is a forgery. Is somebody that has attracted attention for volunteering in nursing homes and has attracted attention from politicians, writers, and musicians for promoting grandparents, going to resort to a forgery that is easily tested by writing to the Senator's office? I think not. I also note that the previous post has overlooked an international source I provided on 31 July in my previous post. WP:GNG only requires two "good" articles to establish wp:notability, a benchmark which is surpassed here. Unscintillating (talk) 23:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really think the Governor kissing your ass = notability? No. That's called riding coattails. Also, the availability of the sources is immaterial to notability. Whether they're only available locally or online has no bearing on notability. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:11, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment First of all, for someone who is quite active on AfD, you should know about WP:OTHERSTUFF. That is, I don't care if Bobo Smith has an article and his sources haven't been updated at all since his proud grandmother created it. All I care about, Sir, is if this guy has some independent, verfiable sources. And it has come to my attention that this "www.nationalgrandparentsday" is his site. So not a source that is strong, if even valid. And the bulk of the references link to this promotional site. As for the picture, again, it is great for Bobo to have a picture of him, say, shaking hands with Bill Clinton. But while Clinton is notable, Bobo is not. Same applies to Mr. Prill, who does not pass WP:GNG.Jimsteele9999 (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was aware of the concern represented by the copyright on the grandparents website when I stated, "IMO the attention given to Prill by Stabenow and Seeger contributes to wp:notability." There is an argument to be made that the ~~Clinton~~ Carter picture could have been routinely obtained, and therefore shows no wp:notability, but I don't see how the Stabenow and Seeger pictures can exist without the politician and the singer directly attending to Prill, i.e., the pictures reliably show that Prill is "attracting attention" from the "world-at-large". I think it is reasonable to believe that Prill posted the two pictures. I see nothing wrong with a source providing evidence of wp:notability, it makes our job as editors easier when sources provide such. The promotional tone is a different problem, promotional tone is a content issue. wp:notability as per WP:N is not a function of the content of Wikipedia articles. To run through the main points again, the National Grandparents Day is nationally recognized by congress, and Prill is a prominent part of this story. As such there is no case for deletion of the redirect. Nor is there any case being made for deleting the edit history (the promotional tone can be fixed with ordinary editing). If there is no case to delete the redirect, and no case to delete the edit history, there is no case for deletion<full stop> Further, a variety of secondary sources in the article, and more found for this AfD, support the position that WP:GNG and WP:N are satisfied.

He is not a prominent part of the day. There may be an argument that he is a prominent part of the story of the self created council, but I don't consider that to be so. But not of the day. The song might be the official song of the council as mentioned in your link to the story about the council but that gives it no other status. The passing mention in that article is trivial coverage. The. Ouncil itself gets hardly any coverage And prill is only a trivial part of that so to leap to call him a prominent part of a related story is wrong. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But WP:DUE prominence is defined not by Wikipedia editors but by reliable sources. And trivial coverage is something like a listing in a phone book. Unscintillating (talk) 01:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Dear Sir, username "duffbeer: makes a good point, the mention in the sources are topical. The "review" you listed (second source) is merely a capsule. I do understand you are invested in preserving this article, but I don't see him as a lynchpin of the day. From your argument, it would see Prill is. But indeed, Prill is a pawn. The picture you mentioned doesn't fit WP:GNG per my Bill Clinton argument in previous comments.Jimsteele9999 (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUE is a policy that says prominence is determined by sources, duff is using a definition of prominence that bases prominence on his/her personal opinion. As per the text at the start of every AfD edit, "All input is welcome, though valid arguments citing relevant guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements". Being a linchpin is not what WP:N is about, see the lead of WP:N. See also WP:Redirects for deletion. I mentioned three pictures, two of the three IMO clearly show attention being given directly to Prill, which as per the nutshell of WP:N goes to notability. Each non-trivial source contributes to wp:notability, some more than others. We have singers; politicians; four different newspapers in Huron, Detroit, and Las Vegas; an independent council in California; a foreign language article; the list goes on. As per the nutshell of WP:N, the "world-at-large" has given Prill "sufficiently significant attention". Even if you argue against "sufficiently", you still have no theoretical case for deletion, so none of the delete !votes are making policy-based arguments. As per recent analysis such non-policy delete !votes might be rehabilitated with partial weight as "redirect or merge somewhere" !votes. But if there are no editors arguing for redirect or merge, there is no place to assign these !votes but with the "keep" !votes. This is the point at which a closing administrator may restore the standing of the delete !votes to declare that there was no consensus at the AfD, but this type of close encourages the cycle of unnecessary AfD nominations and non-policy-based Delete !votes to continue. There are other possibilities, but the best long-term result for the community here is a close as "Keep". Unscintillating (talk) 01:54, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not basing it on my opionon of prominece. I'm basing it on what independent reliable sources have written, or rather in this case not written.

Weak keep On the minus side, about 10 of the "references" are NationalGrandparentsDay.com which is his OWN web site. On the plus side, regarding real-world notability, if the claims are true, some major folks have recorded songs written by him and has received some reviews. Also there are 4 sources which appear wp:notability-suitable. Two are too hard for anyone to quickly check (old and off-line) and two are on-line and look suitable. The wording style is not too promotional, but the choice of material to cover is. North8000 (talk) 12:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: In terms of the "sources" listed, I agree the bulk of them listed are from his own website. By default I consider this promotional! Moreover, local newspapers are not considered "independent" by Wikipedia. Also, this [16] is a capsule. Not extensive coverage. Merely passing mention. Despite the multitude of "sources" listed, not one confirms notability. And, for the record, Sir, I do see "duffbeer" as having a point here. The impetus of this article was to promote this subject, and this "day" and unfortunately this makes the notability factor a hard sell. The lack of independent sources and appropriate coverage just seal the deal for a delete.Jimsteele9999 (talk) 16:05, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stiletto Spy School[edit]

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

Blatant, uncontroversial WP:Promo, written by a self-declared WP:COI editor User:Eclipsed, sourced by PR-fed "news feeds" and media-invite driven PR events. This is simply a two-store local business which spent money on ongoing PR services, and requested, and expected, a Wikipedia article. All refs are puff pieces, and were instigated by PR; text about the company itself is substantially the same text in all refs. None were organic ("I saw an ad and went", or "My neighbor went and told me about it") - no refs describe any reason for writing about the business. None constitute an investigation, a review, comparison with any other such studios, analysis, survey, or other research. No refs cite any other sources. None were written by experts, or anyone qualified to judge the quality of the training given, or the claims made about the instructors employed. Example: MSNBC's video shows an obvious promo filming setup - studio setting with company logo prominently displayed the entire time. The Psychology Today article was written by a self-declared PR person. The Fox News piece included a former CIA operations officer, but he had nothing good or bad to say about the school itself, other than "If you know 'just enough about everything', you know just enough to get into a world of hurt." The timing of the sources appears deliberate, resembling PR release timing. This is, indirectly, gaming Wikipedia's "sources over time" requirement in GNG. Article was PRODed. User:Silver seren deleted the PROD an hour later without disclosing it on the talk page with (((Old prod full))) per WP:DEPROD (step 3). The deletion edit summary was "The article is clearly notable, per the GNG and the numerous high quality sources". No, not per WP:GNG, or per WP:CORP, or per WP:SCHOOL. Sources aren't independent, if they are prompted by PR. Only two sources could have been high quality, but in this case, are not.

There may be pro-PR-based article POV. User:Silver seren praised Eclipsed's authorship of multiple business article stubs here:

"One of the best examples, I think, of a paid editor (I know this is about PR specifically, but it's related) becoming a volunteer and then also helping to serve the overall company article issue is User:Eclipsed. He's been diligently working in his Requested articles workspace on creating stubs for requested company and business articles. ..." -- User:Silver seren "

May be mergeable into a larger article about spy "schools". Lexein (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep What the hell is with the personal attacks on me and Eclipsed? This is not promotional at all and Eclipsed is not a COI editor for this subject. Just because he has a COI on something else doesn't mean you can then say he has a COI on all company articles. He's been working on the backlogged company AfC requests all on his own because he wants to help out. Furthermore, your "analysis" of the sources is all opinion with no proof whatsoever. The refs are all months apart, meaning that they weren't in response to a single event. Here's coverage of it in Het Laatste Nieuws and here's coverage in Le Figaro, as additional sources to what's already in the article. I don't know what your problem is with me or Eclipsed, Lexein, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with this article. It's notable, period. Silver seren^C 09:39, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Nothing personal. No attack intended. I disagree with direct paid editing (via Talk ok), and I think COI editors should only create articles through AfC, when there is even a hint of a conflict. A history of paid editing tinges everything with conflict. I took note of your enthusiastic support of this COI editor, because that, and this article, changes the nature of this encyclopedia, steering it toward being PR, a directory, things that it is WP:NOT intended to be.

That an editor declares COI does not grant license to create articles about small businesses based on puff sources, and it doesn't matter what country publishes the puff piece, it's puff, and PR. I don't dispute that the business exists (it does), just that it meets standalone notability (it doesn't). Wikipedia is not a WP:DIRECTORY, or a WP:PROMO venue; here, I apply WP:DUCK. Nearly identical text in puff pieces, one written by a PR person = PR-driven. Independent and reliable sources provide substantial discussion supporting the importance of the topic, but none of the sources used or in Talk do that. "It was fun and empowering, said the customer standing there" does not a notable business make. I am skeptical of these sources, their timing, who triggered them, who sponsored them for the reasons stated. If there were any substantive professional sources: doctor, sports psychologist, training expert, espionage expert, weapons expert, martial arts expert, business expert (analyst at the Wall Street Journal), anyone, I might not have put this up for AfD. But, bluntly, this article would not have survived AfC, so why should it now survive AfD?

What would you have me strike through? I will consider it.

Reluctant Keep Sources establish wp:notability, probably genuine coverage because it is inherently novel & interesting to many. I consider them to be typical coverage, not "puff" pieces. Based on my superficial read of the above and the situation, high concerns about past and future exploiting / gaming of the system to do promotional work, but the system is the system unless we change it.

Delete/weak redirect to the series. I'm not entirely sure that the title as listed would be that great of a redirect term, but since redirects are cheap it wouldn't really hurt anything to have the title redirect to the series page. I found only two sources for the article, one that mentioned that the book had been declined for a school district due to it potentially not meeting guidelines and a review by kidreads.com. There's an AudioFile review out there, but I can't actually find the review on the AudioFile site. I say that we put what we can in the main article and just redirect or delete this entry.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 23:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Largely promotional biography of a non-notable entrepreneur; an examination of the article edit history (and history of its creator) reveals a possible COI. Zaldax (talk) 02:23, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This seems like a rather obvious keep. Hathatehat (talk) 08:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to ChinICT - My only interest in this article was due to Nazikian's ownership of the Argentine winery Lu di Franco but that winery is very non-notable and by itself wouldn't even pass WP:GNG much less WP:WINERY. Admittedly, I am not the most familiar with the tech industry but it seems like the company Nazikian founded, ChinICT, is notable even if Nazikian, himself, is not. If this was the reverse with a winery (with the winery notable but the owner not), over at WP:WINE we would merge the relevant, unbias and sourced content of the owner bio's over to the winery page and either delete or redirect the owner's page. As far as I can tell reading about Franck Nazikian in the English sources and what little I can glean from Google translate on the Chinese page, this seems like the best course. The ChinICT only needs a little about his tech experience and work with conference while other details (like his largely non-notable winery) can be deleted. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 17:00, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article should be kept. Indeed: 1) All references to the Lu di Franco Winery and Mr. Nazikian's activities in the wine business have been removed - including related categories. 2) Also, only highly reputable references about Mr. Nazikian's achievements as an entrepreneur have been kept (including Forbes, TechCrunch, China Daily, Les Echos, China Central Television, United Nations, Fortune Magazine); these references clearly establish Mr. Nazikian as a notable entrepreneur. 3) At last, Mr. Nazikian's Chinese name - 方克纳 - has been added for further references about him in Chinese on Google or on Chinese's largest search engine - baidu.com ; as a matter of facts, basic research about Mr. Nazikian on Google or on Baidu - in English or in Chinese - return an outstanding number of reliable references that also clearly establish him as a notable entrepreneur. For these 3 reasons this article should not be considered for deletion anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johngoldberg5 (talk • contribs) 18:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it mirrors WP:NSPORTS#Mixed martial arts for fighters and the fighters' criteria has generally been well accepted as consensus at multiple discussions. The disagreements have come over the notability of individual events but that's irrelevant for this discussion. Jakejr (talk) 20:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even not taking into account WP:MMANOT, he has no fights against notable fighters and no fights in notable events. I also haven't been able to find any information about him from a non-MMA source, so I don't think you can say he passes WP:GNG. CaSJer (talk) 14:07, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cage Warriors is a notable promotion, even with the poor information on MMANOT they at least got that bit right with them. And again to mention he reached the finals of the CWFC Middleweight Tournament to crown a new middleweight champion but getting injured, so I can only imagine he will received a title shot once he is healthy. But that aside, I will look for page relating to him outside of MMA to add to the page and will mention on this AfD what I put on for people to back over the page and make necessary adjustments to their votes. Will take some time but considering this AfD hasn't been going on for long now I got some time to work. Pound4Pound (talk) 14:30, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He still has no fights for a top tier MMA organization. Jakejr (talk) 20:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And, again, can you really rely on MMANOT to determine a notable MMA promotions position between top and second tier? Cage Warriors have gone on leaps and bounds in improvements since the start of the year, getting a TV deal with Sky Sports, ESPN (for worldwide viewing), bringing in attention from mainstream sources, being one of only a very small number of MMA promotions in general to take their events abroad, the level of talent they got on their shows, I generally believe MMANOT needs improvements all round, not just on events like you say. Recently I made the notable promotions section abit clearer to read between the active and defunct promotions, but so much more needs to be done with it. For a start it is out of date in terms of promotions it doesn't cover in either section so I may start off by being WP:BOLD and add the 5 promotions I mentioned in a different AfD just to get the ball rolling. Second I feel that some second tier promotions have earned the right to be push up to top tier, both active active and defunct. This would be a beginning at least to finally fixing some of the issues that the guideline presents. Pound4Pound (talk) 10:55, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You remind me of blocked user BigzMMA because he always believed that consensus didn't matter because his judgment was superior to everyone else's. It's OK to be bold, but overriding consensus opinions simply because you disagree with them is not. Jakejr (talk) 20:12, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Basically a national organization for Taekwondo is not notable with the possible exception of it's country of origin. Alos the training centre under construction would be notable. I say weak because there is not much in the article and the organization is too new.Peter Rehse (talk) 05:44, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I read the article and the discussions mentioned by Peter and I still don't see why this organization is notable. I don't think this is notable any more than every karate organization in Japan is automatically notable. The article is tagged for a lot of problems. I agree with Jakejr that it reads like a press release (or ad) and doesn't show notability. Mdtemp (talk) 18:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I revisited this and ended up changing my vote to delete from keep (see above). I understand now that this is not an umbrella for Taekwondo such as World Taekwondo Federation or the International Taekwon-Do Federation but some sort of government body with no clear connection to either. It's only claim to notability would occur once the park is constructed and significant events were held.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As I said at WT:WPMA I don't see anything that shows this is a notable organization. The article fails to show notability and needs better sources. Papaursa (talk) 18:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have been able to find this rather interesting analysis of the group. The group has also had exhibitions in Europe funded by the Japan Foundation (a semi-independent branch of the Japanese government) that did have some press coverage (for instance, here and here). I have the feeling more can be found. Michitaro (talk) 12:42, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, maybe merge The first version was a copy vio (deleted) and last year I tried to find info for this with very little luck. Note that there isn't even a mention of the group in the BLP Oscar Oiwa, a member. Maybe some of the info can be merged into his article, although a redirect doesn't make sense because he is only one member of the group. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 20:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A merge would not make sense since this is a group. Also, my sense of the Japanese art scene is that Makoto Aida is the most famous of these artists. I checked one of the Japanese article databases and found several more articles on them in Tokyojin (a major monthly magazine) (座談会昭和40年会の東京, 23(10)通号258 / 2008.9 /　/ p.120～126), Bijitsu techō (the main art journal in Japan) (Document 昭和40年会in大阪+名古屋ツアー-いったいなにが平成の世を生きる彼らをこんなにも魅力的にしているのか, 52(794) / 2000.10 /　/ p.160～166), and LR (昭和40年会緊急シンポジウム-おまえの何が現代美術(アート)なのか, 通号17 / 2000.1 /　/ p.22～45).

Conditional weak keep. By the looks of it, the magazine mentions look quite promising, but without being able to see them, I can't say whether they are actual coverage or just mentions. But with the large number of mentions, I'll assume that they are indeed about the group and thus, it would be the coverage required to pass WP:N.

However, I searched pretty extensively, and haven't found anything that wasn't first party. With some notable people involved, there's some potential that this can meet notability in the future, but at this point, I'm just not finding the sources.

Snow Keep, how did you do your searches? I know there are some false positives, at any rate these are a little portion of what I found at Google News archives: MTV, Il Giornale), Varese News, Musical News, La Repubblica, Milano Today, Il Corriere della Sera, Varese News again, La Stampa, Rockol, MB News, L'eco di Bergamo, Sky, Rockol again, TeleSanterno, La Stampa again, La Repubblica again. The Corriere della Sera defines the band as "the symbol of Italian punk music of the last 20 years" ([21]). Not to mention they have also multiple book sources, including an encyclopedia, Dizionario completo della Canzone Italiana by Enrico Deregibus.Cavarrone (talk) 07:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I note that the article "Punkreas" is by and large a translation of the "Punkreas" article on the Italian localisation of Wikipedia. As it hasn't made too much of an international impact, I think that is where I take issue with the article; other things can be worked on. As for searching, I did what most would do, and that includes using those nifty quotation marks in those Google searches. --Qwerty Binary (talk) 18:53, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep per WP:MUSIC especially points 1 and 7 - notability isn't confined by national borders, they're clearly notable in Italy given the sources turned up by Cavarrone above (which should be included, especially the quote from Corriere della Sera). The article needs translating by an English speaker, but otherwise I'm not seeing any issue here. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 14:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Margo Rey[edit]

At first sight this looks to be a valid article, but the references are all primary sources except one minor appearance on a TV show. IMDB, never a reliable source, shows that she was a voice of a dog in a minor production. The article appears to be intended to create notability for this singer rather than demonstrate notability. Wikipedia may not be used in this manner. If she gains notability then an article may remain here, otherwise not. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No evidence of notability. Google and Google News searches turned up no substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Any mention is trivial, routine, tangential.

Comment I have updated this article substantively - and while it won't be nominated for FA any time soon, it's a whole lot better documented than it was when I started. There's no shortage of self-promotion from the subject of this article, her "husband" and the record company, but I believe I've found enough sources to back up most of the info there. Some of it, such as the fact that she was the lead singer of an all-girl rock band in the 80s is impossible to find a source on, though it's in her bio. It is my understanding that they are not yet married, but I don't have any source refuting it and all the interviews they do say that they're married, so I've left it that way.

Keep with changes I've made (as noted above), I believe someone who has released 3 songs which have hit the top 20 on a Billboard chart and is noted as someone to watch passes WP:GNG. The content about her background activities is allowable by WP:SELFPUB. It appears that this AfD may have been added due to a halo effect because of the "business partner" mentioned by the nom and supported by others and while I'm the first to acknowledge that notability cannot be inherited, neither can "lack of notability". "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", is described above as a "minor production" though it was produced by Disney with a budget of $20m and total gross of $143m, included Drew Barrymore, Jamie Lee Curtis and George Lopez, so I disagree with that characterization. I imagine that if someone footnoted one of those stars with a reference to that film, there may be no objection to its use as a "minor production". I believe this article now passes muster and should be kept. Vertium ^{When all is said} _{and done} 14:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep - it appears that before she adopted the professional name of "Margo Rey", she did musicals such as Loesser's "Señor Discretion Himself" and the stage version of "Selena Forever" under her birth name "Margo Reymundo" for which there are what appear to be numerous although brief (seemingly positive) reviews behind paywalls. -- The Red Pen of Doom 21:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly what I meant by my comment about the halo effect. It seems as though there is a concern that the same people wrote the article just because these two happen to now be in business together, which is merely a suspicion, not based on any evidence yet offered. The question should be do we know for certain that the same people were involved in writing the two articles? Instead, I believe it's rather easy to connect Margo Rey and Margo Reymundo (name similarity aside), by looking at Reymundo's 2004 website and Rey's current website. Unless we believe there was some plot in 2004 to create a website so that in 2012 Wikipedia readers could be tricked, I think the photographic evidence supports that they're the same person. Further, one of the citations in the article (see last 3 paragraphs) tells the story of how Ron White met Margo Rey, through her brother, Alex Reymundo. Thanks.

its not "merely a suspicion" that the articles were edited by the same people, the edit history shows (showed before the other was deleted) that they were edited by the same accounts. It was following the edit histories that led to this article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 11:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I truly do not wish to become pedantic (though sometimes I simply cannot help myself), but in the interest of accuracy, I want to point out that no such mention of the other article or it's edit history was made by the nominator, nor did the nominator explain how or why xhe came to the conclusion, so I'm unsure of whether that's what led to this article or not. The first mention of the other article was by Dominus Vobisdu in support of deletion. Given all that, if you're aware of some information that's not included in the nomination as to how the nominator arrived at this article, I'm happy to take your word for it as I cannot see the edit history for the deleted article. In any case, how they came to the article is irrelevant, because even if they were edited by the same people - which could easily raise suspicion and cause investigation of another article - the article is no longer in the same condition it was when the nomination was made. The keep or delete decision should be made based not on what the article was at the time of nomination, but rather on what it is today. Thanks.

Delete (without prejudice to more genuine, independent WP:RS being added from established media). Blogs, listings, and reviews on theatre ticketing sites are not reliable. Interviews are not reliable because the content is supplied by the subject. This only leaves on source [22] which alone does not amount to significant in-depth coverage from multiple sources. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:22, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've re-examined the article and still find it lacking in reliable independent sources. Except for the Vegas Sun article, which is light on information about Rey and is actually just an extended concert announcement, the rest are trivial, routine or tangential mentions in blogs and the like. My own searches turned up nothing substantial in independent sources. The publicity material originating from her husband's company seems to be puffery.

Question: You don't find Billboard to be a reliable source? Vertium ^{When all is said} _{and done} 12:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable, yes. But it contributes little information and little notability. She had two songs that made it into the top-twenty on the list for "adult contemporary", a relatively minor list. If she made it onto the overall list, or the major lists for pop, rock, etc., I would be more impressed. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 13:24, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would find it helpful if there was greater consistency in your comments. First you state there's only one reliable source and relegate all other noted sources as "trivial, routine or tangential mentions in blogs and the like". And I have to admit, I'm not even sure what you mean by "routine". When someone reviews a performance in a newspaper it is neither puffery nor a concert notification. It does, however stand as verification that the individual does, in fact, perform to paying crowds. When asked, you acknowledge that there is actually more than one reliable source, though apparently Billboard didn't count in the first comment because, by your assessment, it's only a "minor" list. Please help me find the WP guideline or policy that indicates which Billboard charts are notable and which are not. Also, I'd like some help in understanding which policy says that only those songs which achieve a certain ranking on those notable charts count. I understand that the Adult Contemporary doesn't "impress" you, but it might interest you to know that the current Adult Contemporary chart includes songs by Kelly Clarkson, Train, Adele (2 songs), Katy Perry, Colbie Caillat and One Direction, none of which I can imagine are "trivial", regardless of your personal assessment. The lists focus on the formats used by radio stations. To dismiss AC would be something akin to dismissing the "Classical" list because it's not Top 40 - there are hundreds of AC radio stations, serving millions of listeners, so I think it's as notable as any other format. Further, someone who has had 3 songs at a "significant" (deliberately avoiding a specific number) level a Billboard chart seems clearly notable. Lastly, I completely understand (and support!) your reaction to her business partner's article. You'll note that I made no effort to defend that article, because there were zero RS.

Mitt Romney's tax returns[edit]

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

Clear WP:POVFORK per the rationale given at page creation, which was: "split from Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012 to prevent WP:UNDUE issues prior to expansion" Topic not sufficiently notable for standalone article. This article doesn't avoid an UNDUE problem; it creates one. Belchfire-TALK 07:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Obvious POV fork. Truthsort (talk) 07:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As I said on the talk page, this is just a POV fork suitable for burying information about Romney's tax returns. Oh, the irony! Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 09:05, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and delete. At only 268 words after two weeks of existence, there's clearly no need for a split-out article on this. It can be handled within Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012, moving this text there. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There were good reasons to create a separate article on this subject. When it was in the main article about his campaign it was obvious that a detailed factual article about his taxes was out of place. That it has not been worked on, and has gotten worse rather than better is not a reason to delete it but to improve it. User:Fred Bauder Talk 11:31, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Merge. Not enough notability to support a stand-alone article. Merge content into parent article, delete/re-direct/whatever the present article-link. The only reason anyone is interested in this subject is because Romney is running for the US Presidency, so in my opinion this article should be subsumed into Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012.

Merge some, Delete the rest. It can always be re-started if and when size considerations warrant. Delete. The subject is adequately covered by this new section in the main article about U.S. tax returns. This article up for deletion is primarily an attack article; for example, you'll find accusations against Romney in the lead by the Democratic governor of Maryland, but nothing about those accusations in the article about the governor. The same was true about the accusations by Harry Reid, until I inserted the material in Reid's article (while toning it down and focussing on what Reid said).108.18.174.123 (talk) 15:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Redirect to Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012. Per nom. & others, a POVFORK. Does not warrant a standalone article, but is a notable issue in the Romney 2012 campaign.--JayJasper (talk) 22:43, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, 38 news articles; whether one believes that any of them have significant coverage about the specific subject is debatable. Same can be said if someone creates an article on Obama's college transcripts. Although there are over 1 million regular google hits about the subject, not all are reliable sources, and against it is debatable of those that do fall under RS whether there is enough significant coverage about the subject. There should be an attempt to improve the article before bringing up the article to AfD, to at least support that the subject passes notability guidelines. I would support a merge & redirect at this point to an appropriate article (there are multiple notable subjects if a merge were to occur), however if it can be shown that the subject is clearly independently notable in and of itself I can be persuaded to change my opinion to KEEP.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:33, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No. We shouldn't have standalone articles on every campaign attack vector. To the extent this is actually a notable factor in the election, it should be covered in 2012 Presidential election. Ideally, we'd write this stuff after the election, both because it removes the political motivation for editing, and because we'll have a clearer idea of its actual lasting impact, if any. MastCell ^Talk 08:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the same reason 2012 Roanoke Obama campaign speech‎ should be deleted: it's a POV fork given undue weight by receiving its own article.

Delete because it's a bad POV fork in my opinion, as stated above. It does not need a standalone. A wild Rattata (talk) 21:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (hoping for a WP:BOBSLED). Notability is established by the fact that it was rated by PolitiFact.com and is likely to be revisited and rehashed and reexamined for the duration of the campaign. It was also widely reported in the mainstream press. There are reasonable arguments above, saying that we don't want to have an article on every half-baked, debunked accusation that comes out of either political camp. That said, Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories exists on wikipedia because it is notable, not because it is true. Maybe we need an article on half baked political accusations in the 2012 POTUS campaign. Then, after the election we can trim out all the WP:RECENTISM. PS, I like that the article name is NPOV, not "Mitt Romney doesn't pay his taxes." Peace, MPS (talk) 22:26, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can't see any reason why this is being called a POV fork - it's just the plain simple facts. Romney talks about his tax returns all the time - generally saying that he is not going to release them. Actually, I do object to folks who are very active on the page and on the talk page removing material from the article, and now saying the article should be merged because it is too short. Shame! Smallbones (talk) 20:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - at some point, we have to come to consensus on what individual incidents or issues are notable enough for entry into the project as a separate article. I don't think we are yet at a consensus. Bearian (talk) 02:11, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We could do worse than mimicking Controversies at the 2012 Summer Olympics. These individual controversies may pass WP:GNG on a superficial level but have a high susceptibility to hijacking and no real WP:PERSISTENCE. Not that there wouldn't be battles over what to include there, but we'd at least corral off the fighting and minimize AfD's resemblance to Bush v. Gore. --BDD (talk) 04:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Obvious POV as stated by others and agree the article should be deleted, not merged. Its WP:Undue weight to a non-notable topic and should not have have its own article and should not be merged as that would also be undue weight. It has a brief mention on the campaign page and that's more than enough to cover it. Its also WP:Recentism. Wikipedia is not a newpaper.Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 21:34, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly don't understand how WP:UNDUE works. It's not an excuse to merely delete information from Wikipedia. -- Kendrick7^talk 08:25, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Rename to something like "tax return controversy"; while the individual tax returns are not themselves important, the controversy over not releasing them is. The rational for it being a POV fork doesn't hold up since it's not exclusively criticism (ie people are defending him not releasing them). The issue has become substantive enough for there to be polls on it and we can easily keep this article while including a smaller section in the campaign article. CartoonDiablo (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no controversy, its fabricated, non-substantive, and petty. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The POV fork still holds. It should be deleted. There could be a neutral article on the subject of presidential tax returns in general and the relevant content could be moved there.Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 20:19, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - While there's an impulse to delete does no one notice that there is significant coverage of the issue? Whatever you think of the issue, there is in fact a huge controversy that made major political leaders respond and was wide enough to have multiple public opinion polls about it. CartoonDiablo (talk) 03:02, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this clearly passes WP:GNG. It's been front page news since at least December, 2011. On all the nightly news shows (including Fox, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC and multiple stories on the BBC, going back to January with a recent spurt), not to mention the NYTimes, Washington Post, LATimes, Business Week, Forbes, New Yorker. Several million search results on Google. If you think it is a POV fork, you need to improve it, adding sourced content, not removing content as was done before. Smallbones (talk) 04:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My take on this is that this article is being used to bury details that ought to be in the main article. StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 04:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't oppose the article being put in as a full section in the "campaign" article, but it has to go somewhere. The switching places, then deleting material, inserting some truly irrelevant material on Donald Trump, deleting the 2 sentence reference in the campaign article, etc. does make this article look like there is a case of political sharp elbows going around. But it's an election year, and trying to sort out people's motives is not worthwhile IMHO. Smallbones (talk) 15:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the material in this article does have to go somewhere at Wikipedia. But not even Harry Reid's accusations regarding the tax returns are allowed in the Harry Reid article.[24] Why dump it all on Romney, and none of it on Reid? There is further material about the history of releasing tax returns here (doubtless it too will be deleted in due course, since it isn't dumped on the Romney articles). This subject warrants a paragraph at the Romney 2012 campaign article. Bottom line, this article now up for deletion is not NPOV, and it's redundant (if the info were put where it belongs).108.18.174.123 (talk) 17:26, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but POV and "redundant" are not reasons to delete. This is a major issue in the Presidential campaign, with the Republicans saying that it is the only Democratic issue. This material will certainly be permanently used on Wikipedia, even if 10 weeks from now, folks start asking themselves "Why didn't Romney just release some more of his tax returns and get an extra 1% of the vote?". Students in tax classes will be reviewing the only available tax return from a private equity multimillionaire. Or people will be wondering why a sitting president doesn't release his current tax returns, as every president has since Carter. In short, somebody in a US presidential campaign seems to be telling a whooper here, and it is very likely to come out who, sooner or later. It would be nice to have the original notable material included in Wikipedia. Smallbones (talk) 18:07, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Generally speaking, discredited accusations against a public figure, like the accusations made by Harry Reid, belong in the article of the person making the accusation. I tried to do so, and tried to link to the Reid article from the 2012 Romney campaign article, but was repeatedly reverted. This article about Romney's tax returns is a POV fork, and that's plenty of reason to delete it.108.18.174.123 (talk) 18:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Michelle Obama's arms passed WP:GNG too. Passing GNG doesn't automatically make something encyclopedic or appropriate. Trusilver 16:31, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did she have sharp elbows? Smallbones (talk) 18:07, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a clear POVFORK. This is an embarrassment to Wikipedia. This article can be re-visited after the election when there is more perspective about the importance of this issue. Letting partisans hijack our encyclopedia to promote their political feuds is certainly something we should stop right now. Yobol (talk) 18:26, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My reason for originally splitting this off from the original article was to prevent that article from being overwhelmed by WP:UNDUE issues, per WP:PRESERVE.[25] Such a split is entirely permissible per WP:CFORK: "as an article grows, editors often create Summary style spin-offs or new, linked article for related material. This is acceptable, and often encouraged, as a way of making articles clearer and easier to manage." Sure enough, I made a wise decision. We could merge everything back, but I won't stand for deletionists arguing Undue should that occur, per WP:ENC. -- Kendrick7^talk 08:07, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem like a notable event to me. AutomaticStrikeout 01:34, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I'm relatively new here so I guess I probably should have written the article in sandbox with all the references and everything before putting it up. I disagree that this article isn't noteworthy. The pepsi sports challenge is a very popular television segment in Central Illinois featured on network tv. I feel if the For the Love of Ray J (season 2) can have an article, so can the WAND Pepsi Challenge. See http://www.wandtv.com/category/205568/s to learn more about it. Again thanks for yoru feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benmoff1 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Firstly, the existence of other article that may or may not seem more notable has no purchase on this AfD. Saying that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS won't save an article because all that might mean is that the other article just hasn't been merged, deleted, or redirected yet. Where this event (the Pepsi Challenge) suffers is that it's really not covered by any reliable sources other than the channel that puts on the event. This coverage can't be used to show notability because it's considered to be a primary source. It just can't show notability. Because of this, the event just isn't notable enough to have it's own page. The only thing I might suggest is that it gets a very, very brief mention in the WAND article and this page redirect to there.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Malayan[edit]

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

I am unable to find any external sources verifying the existence of this language. Google search for "Greater Malayan" brings up this article and some results about a deer. The three-letter language code does not exist in the ISO databases, and it's the same one that was used in a previous article, Asyiengarian language, which was written by the same author and which was deleted as a hoax (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asyiengarian language).. ... discospinster _talk 01:43, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I support to delete as the claim is not supported by any reliable sources. The terms used in Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu also did not exist and I never heared such name (in Malay). I suspect the author is using sock puppet to bloster his claims. Yosri (talk) 02:10, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. I do not know nearly enough about the subject to tell if this is a hoax or perhaps original research. What I do know is that the cites provided are totally inadequate to validate anything said in it. It could be the original editor is totally genuine, and this is a specialised subject with few sources available, but I'm afraid Wikipedia needs verifiablity for the article to remain. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 12:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable and probably MADEUP. Angr (talk) 17:27, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unquestionably a hoax. None of the "principles" of this language have productive Google searches. The "Karaka Principle" is an especially transparent hoax; the Malay language (an Austronesian language) is in no way "derived from Sanskrit" (an Indo-European language). Furthermore, the list of ISO 639 codes shows that the wia code claimed for this language is in fact unassigned. Furthermore, the content of this article, including these nonsense principles, has appeared in Wikipedia before at the hands of the same author, when he attempted to introduce a section on the equally fictional Asiangarian language into the Malay language article (see diff). So far as I can determine, no contributions of this editor have been constructive or factual. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:58, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a blatant hoax. Regarding Sanskrit, Malay and some related languages do have Sanskrit loan words (Javanese in particular is swimming with them) but the languages are not "based" in Sanskrit. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:13, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Controlled Delay[edit]

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

Article on proposed programming technique not yet in use and therefore non-notable. The last sentence is the give-away. (And that the article on it has, a/c Google scholar, been cited so far by one person only [26] DGG ( talk ) 01:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Article is not about a programming technique but about a new AQM algorithm. Article cited for it was published in ACM Queue and reprinted in CACM (which is peer reviewed), both extremely reliable sources for computing science and software engineering (and on the force of those two facts meets WP:NSOFT -- reliable sourcing, totally new technology means significant). The algorithm discussed has been implemented and is available for all to use and report upon (and has been picked up by early adopters). And I just came across a nice little remark that CoDel has been integrated into the Linux kernel mainline already, so if that isn't use I don't know what is... -- BenTels (talk) 01:52, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Extra comment: Aside from the above, the nominator has completely misread that last sentence. It doesn't say that CoDel is not in use (as in not implemented); it says that CoDel is in use and its behavior is being observed in actual use to see if it lives up to expectations. -- BenTels (talk) 09:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"not yet in use and therefore non-notable."

So that's a whole bunch of pruning needed to NASA then!

keep This is a solid technique and article about it. It appears encyclopedic. At least one author is well-known. The question reduces to "Does it meet WP:N?" There are sources. Some are SPS, some not. Even though some of these SPS author publications are going out through erudite channels like the ACM and MIT. So N now seems to reduce to, "Do we consider Jim Gettys to be a RS on this topic?" I'd have to say yes, so keep. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added two more reliable sources to the article (there are at least three now). These were not hard to find - you just need to search for "CoDel". --Kvng (talk) 14:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep and Rename. With all due respect, rcdb.com references are considered to be reliable and independent sources. The article could use a bit a clean-up, and it definitely needs to be renamed ~~(over an old expired prod at Great White (roller coaster))~~, but there are plenty of sources in the Google News archive and in Google Books. example that it took me 30 seconds to find IronGargoyle (talk) 01:54, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If the article is kept and re-named, it should be renamed to The Great White (Morey's Piers). There is already a coaster named The Great White at Sea World San Antonio. "The" is included in the name on its park listing (although not on the rcdb.com listing). IronGargoyle (talk) 02:34, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

This is a procedural listing from a recently closed deletion review. The userspace draft under review was considered substantially different than previously deleted versions (to avoid CSD G4 and allow unprotection), but there were still substantial concerns expressed in the DRV over the quality of sourcing (e.g., trivial mentions, non-independence) and the notability. As this is a procedural listing, I am neutral. IronGargoyle (talk) 00:46, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes#Film I'm still not seeing any good sources in this iteration of the article, which remains 60% of a long plot summary already concisely described in the redirect target proposed in one paragraph. The best source is the USPTO filing, and even that really can't tell us anything except it has its LoC filing. TVBytheNumbers has been a questionable source for television and ratings articles in the past because of site staff synthesis of ratings, the iTunes link shouldn't be there (WP:ADVERT), source #7 from Animation World describes "big ratings" but doesn't give the actual numbers, and #4 is an unfiltered Cartoon Network press release which cannot be counted on for neutrality. Credits cites are WP:OR. We have given more than enough time (three years) for this to develop into at least a good stub and it can't get there with these sources. Per the result at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Eds are Coming, the Eds are Coming (an hour-long episode of this series), a short plot summary in the "List of" article should suffice for most general readers.

Weak keep per improved sourcing since last AFD, or at least redirect and protect again... but this time to List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes#Film just as this was similarly redirected after AFD #2. Please see the recent DRV, the result there being to allow the redirect to be unprotected and the article returned to AFD for new consideration. My opinion is that notability enough for a separate article is still pretty thin, but I wil grant that it is better than last time this was here. As the original redirect target has been removed through editing and no longer exists, this new redirect option makes sense to me if not kept.

Strong Delete. The Reception section material sourced from TV by the Numbers—all but the first sentence—is a nearly word-for-word copy of the original, a clear violation of WP:COPYVIO. A redirect would also be okay, so long as any Reception material incorporated into the destination article undergoes heavy trimming and extensive rephrasing. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio of a single sentence should carry a deletion? I think it is an easily addressable problem, and you yourself could fix the sentence so to make it more different from the original (sadly I cannot as I am not English native and the final result would be surely poor). Cavarrone (talk) 20:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was the entire section except for the first short sentence, which was from two different sources that I didn't check. Or, to put it another way, this is about a third of the non-plot material in the article, which was already (as noted by others) plot-heavy. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:13, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it is not one sentence but two sentences... that does not change the point that this issue is easily fixable by everyone that is enough confident in English to slighty change the construction/wording of these two sentences. Cavarrone (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think your attitude toward copyvio is a bit too cavalier. And, I've just discovered, it's worse than I thought: the bulk of the first paragraph of Production has some nearly identical phrases to the ToonZone source. That leaves precious little that isn't either Plot or close paraphrase. As such, I'm changing my Delete to Strong Delete. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
