Delete per the nomination. There does not seem to be discussion of this society in independent reliable sources. They are less than a year old. The link for their shortlisting for an award for "Best New labour Club" is broken, as least today (8 January 2012). The award is probably not notable either. --Bejnar (talk) 23:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of the article (User:Justice007) requests deletion. See here, his talk page and LadyofShalott's talk. I am respecting his wishes by creating this AfD, but this nomination should not be taken as a !vote either way. In the first diff and his message on Lady's talk, Justice is referring to this AfD and discussion which went on before, in which he was accused of bad-faith editing because of his "COI" related to Pakistani stubs.

Keep I can see no rationale for deletion. Subject appears notable as per previous discussions. I note the subject's desire for deletion, but I'm unclear what influence (any?) this should have on our decision. Please clarify one thing, if anyone can: what is the connection between Ehsan Sehgal and Ehsan Mehmood Khan. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 00:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- None that has been revealed, other then the possibility that they come from the same area. They are both Pakistani, but I can't be more specific then that - and neither can the IP. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 00:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Topic meets the notability guidelines per sources. Just as we do not create articles about people or companies because the article subject wishes to have a Wikipedia entry, so should we avoid deleting articles at the whim of the subject. Wikipedia is not censored - notability is what counts, and Ehsan Sehgal is notable. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Yunshui, no reason to delete. Though we should be respectful of both editors and BLP subjects, that doesn't mean they have control over their pages. Though the page may have been started by a COI account, there has since been sufficient scrutiny by independent editors to produce an adequate page. Though the process to arrive at this version was less than ideal, the current version is adequate in my opinion. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 13:20, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Old Town Canoe[edit]

So as to avoid the article being speedily deleted. Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:23, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete one minor reference in a small-city local newspaper does not meet WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Contrary to the author's belief, an article at AfD can be subject to speedy deletion, although this one does not meet any of the CSD criteria. However as it is about a non-notable company, this article should be deleted Since the author has now added sufficient sources to show notablity. Sparthorse (talk) 22:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete per Sparthorse. Keep per sources cited below. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacking depth of coverage and the newspapers relied upon for referencing are not sufficiently 'major' to assert notability. Fails the WP:GNG Pol430 talk to me 23:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Switched to keep in light of additional sources Pol430 talk to me 19:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has anybody actually looked for sources? A quick search using Google news uncovered over 600 hits, mostly from New England-based newspapers (not just Bangor, Maine) with a few from other areas. It's also been profiled on national media such as NPR and the Discovery Channel. The company is over 100 years old, and I consistently see it referred to as one of the "iconic companies" of Maine (example here). Clearly, it meets WP:CORP], and I'm surprised that it was nominated for deletion at all. Zeng8r (talk) 00:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: It was nominated by the author in an attempt to avoid potential speedy deletion. --Onorem♠Dil 02:20, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - True, which was even more egregious, imo. Zeng8r (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The current article may lack sufficient references, but this is an established and well-known company that easily passes WP:CORP. In particular, note this from WP:CORP policy: "A primary test of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or its manufacturer, creator, or vendor) have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it." In the case of Old Towne Canoe, consider these published works:

Book about the history of Old Towne Canoe Company, published in 2003

They Still Make Canoes Like They Used To, New York Times 1981 These two alone should be sufficient. --Crunch (talk) 01:15, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Crunch and Zeng8r beat me to it. The one source that's referenced in the article itself discusses the historical nature of the facility. Built in the late 19th century, it appears to have tremendous importance to the reason - primarily in a historical light. This meets the standard discussed above of "independent" verification. Additionally, even if this were not to meet that standard under some light, the fact that so many people in that region find the place important, as confirmed by the many articles discussing it, should be enough reason to include the article. Lord Roem (talk) 01:46, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per Crunch. This company passes WP:CORP because it is old and well-mentioned in both newspaper and books. In additions, the referenced phrase "Old Town is the largest and best known American canoe manufacturer" alone should be more than enough for establishing this article's notability.--AM ^(talk) 01:48, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ok, I don't like to get on my soapbox and lecture adults, but I feel this needs to be said. Cases like this point out a serious problem in the deletion discussion process, whether it's an article or an image or whatever. There are a group of users who are very concerned with notability and/or fair use issues. While I don't personally worry about these things so much, I understand that they're making a good faith effort to improve the project. However, sometimes these users are so concerned about furthering the cleaning process that they'll automatically support pretty much any deletion proposal without bothering to do any research or even read the arguments of other users who disagree.

In this case, I have to commend several users for changing their opinion when more sources were discovered, as I've been involved in several deletion discussions in which very reasonable objections were ignored, and the item was (unjustly, imo) killed by a metaphorical angry mob. On the other hand, why was this article nominated for speedy deletion in the first place? And why did the first few contributors rubber-stamp approve the deletion proposal w/o doing any research? And they obviously didn't do any research, because I'd never heard of Old Town Canoes and it literally took me under a minute to discover that the company most definitely meets notability guidelines. Let's be careful out there, people; these articles' lives are in our hands... Zeng8r (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article may not be notable and could be merged somewhere. The author continues to take down maintenance tags on this article without offering reasons or fixing the problems. This article was tagged PROD but author removed it without reason. Zzaffuto118 (talk) 21:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete I prodded it, and the deprodder did give reasons on the talk page. But it still falls far short of a notable topic to my eyes. The phrase arose on the show Fei Cheng Wu Rao and the related controversy already has a section there. This just reproduces and expands on that section and is still largely about the show, while all the references are about the show or the contestant. There is no discussion of this phrase or it's impact, no mention of it independent of the show.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 21:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
keep The page is a work in progress, and is by no means perfect. But the symbolic value of the phrase has led to mass discussions in Chinese media, both television and online. Columns have been written specifically about the phrase by a large number of Chinese newspapers, delving into much deep analysis about the phrase, such as seen here: [2], here: [3], and here: [4] (a clever rebuttal saying "I would rather laugh on a bicycle"). I concede that judging by English-language media alone this topic may not be notable per se. But once I will have more time to translate Chinese-language analysis into English, which will give the article a more 'notable' feel. So I will offer the option of a 'temporary deletion' if most other users feel the deletion must go ahead, and I will try to re-create the article on a temp page first on my userspace to better establish its notability.
Given due consideration to both Chinese and English-language media, I would still vouch that the phrase's notability clearly extends beyond the realm of the show alone - it has spurred discussions about a wide range of social issues, and as mentioned in the article, is an emblematic, symbolic representation of much larger issues. Isolating the content to the show itself would not do justice to such symbolism, nor would it be appropriate to flood the show's article on analysis that is tangential. It is analogous to merging Tear down this wall! with Berlin Wall. That is my case for keeping this article where it is. Colipon+(Talk) 17:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- comment a poor analogy, as I think you will need to do a little more to establish the notability of an off-the-cuff comment by a game show contestant than a challenge to communism from the then US president! But certainly do what you can to improve it and if you run out of time get it userfied to finish the job. The references above look borderline but that's mostly as apart from Yahoo I can't tell if they are reliable sources (and even Yahoo China carries a lot of poor quality content).--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 22:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep:This phrase has become a well-known meme in Chinese popular culture over the last two years, and has been regularly examined in the Western media. It meets the minimum requirements for inclusion, as per WP:N, due to the wide availability (in English and Chinese media) of reliable secondary sources giving significant coverage to the history of the phrase, and analyzing the phrase and its implications for modern Chinese society. A good-faith gsearch returns a number of articles on this meme: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, etc).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferox Seneca (talk · contribs)
- comment The above, unsigned, comment points to WP:N but one point that is mentioned in that policy is notability over time. Most meme's are short lived and a relatively obscure non English phrase really isn't notable in English Wikipedia. Other users have brought up the point that other articles give weight to this comment which further devalues the individual notability of this article. — -Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzaffuto118 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - comment In that case it is at least as notable as "Grass Mud Horse", or "River Crab". Colipon+(Talk) 02:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - comment:Sorry that I forgot to sign that comment. The suggestion that subjects lose notability by having their origin in non-Anglophone countries is systematic bias.Ferox Seneca (talk) 19:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the current page has sufficient reliable sources are enough to establish notability. Francis Bond (talk) 01:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- comment but none of the sources are about the topic, or even discuss it. They are all on the show or the contestant turned lingerie model that said the phrase.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 19:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was No consensus, and I see none forthcoming right now. I suspect that a more general policy needs to be enacted. The strongest argument in favor of deletion is that it violates WP:FORK; the strongest argument to keep is the fact that she is # 14 in number of # 1 hits.

List of Katy Perry songs[edit]

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

Unneeded WP:CFORK list. This is basically a rehash of a discography and this is not something to be merged into a WP:FL. Further, there are WP:OR issues with all of the "unreleased" tracks. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 21:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete No need for this list - she's not the Beatles, she's a young performer with a handful of "hits". A list of all of her recorded songs is not-notable whatsoever at this point. At some point when her catalogue meets that of Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, Garth Brooks ... maybe, this this is merely a list of any and all tracks whether notable or not (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- She's not the Beatles, but she's pretty big. She's had six US main chart #1 hits. That's more than the Beach Boys. More than Brittney Spears. Twice the Black-Eyed Peas, 75% of the Rolling Stones. It's more than ABBA, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, The Police, Van Halen, and Guns N' Roses -- combined. It's more than a handful of artists have achieved. She's also topped the chart in the UK and many other countries, usually more than once. And that's not considering the singles that made the top ten but not #1. And she's new. It's probably only going to get better (or, if you don't like her, worse) and the article, if deleted, is likely only have to be re-created later. (Also, not sure what you mean by "hits". They're not "hits", they're hits. They're main-chart #1's, and she's already got half as many as Michael Jackson had, and of course a lot more than Dire Straits or Garth Brooks.) Herostratus (talk) 03:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Since you listing artists, Christina Aguilera,Talib Kweli, Kasabian, The White Stripes, Owl City, and Jonas Brothers. Yes, I know "Other things exist" isn't a reason, but rather that someone with the number of awards and nominations she has, would have the song list rise to the level of notability.Naraht (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This builds out of a discussion at the help desk. At that discussion there was talk about whether such a merge should happen. I looked and thought that it was, at the least, worth a discussion, so I tagged the articles. That all said, I do not have a strong opinion one way or the other on this AFD. Other than to say it would likely be about as neat and clear of a solution to the situation as a merge would be. (Obviously, some think the merge idea is not itself neat and clean.) - TexasAndroid (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not only is a merge inappropriate, it is in direct violation of FL and Discography guidelines: a discography is not a listing of songs, it is a listing of released/charted albums and singles. A discography is: "A table-based list of official releases, in chronological order from earliest to latest." This list being merged into a discography is in a direct violation of Wikipedia:DISCOGSTYLE#What_should_not_be_included - "Unofficial releases of any kind", "Leaked material", "Releases by other artists as a tribute or cover" ect ect.. So again, a merge is not valid. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 22:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Moving myself to the Delete column from the Neutral column. The two articles are highly duplicative of each other. And this one appears to me to be the inferior one, for the reasons detailed above by (CK)Lakeshade and Bwilkins. My ultimate concern is handling the double-article situation, and deletion of this one works towards that end just as well as a merge would. - TexasAndroid (talk) 22:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Many of the songs in the List of Katy Perry songs article are not present in the Katy Perry article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:15, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems like a reasonable list and is, by necessity, more complete than either the category or discography article would be. Since the category only includes songs which have Wikipedia articles and the Discogs article would only contain released albums and singles, I can't find any reason to oppose the existance of a list of all Katy Perry songs. Any issues with referencing and OR for unreleased songs can be handled via normal editing, the subject seems like a perfectly reasonable list. --Jayron32 01:29, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She's highly notable. According to my count, 13 artists have more US #1's than Perry (that's covering the last 57 years) and most of those don't have a lot more. She's had more US #1's than The Eagles, the Beach Boys, Lady GaGa, Jennifer Lopez, The Monkees, Eminem, Diddy, Simon & Garfunkle/Paul Simon, Britney Spears, Donna Summer, yadda yadda. Granted US #1's aren't everything (but she also has hit #1 in the UK, Germany, and many other countries), but it's a pretty big something for starters. So if musicians rate "List of songs by XYZ" (and there are many such articles) she probably would be one of them. So if we want to delete all the "List of songs by XYZ" as a class, that'd be OK (and this should be recast as a multiple nom), but if not, then keep this one. Also, nom, come on: there is one unreleased song on the list, and it should probably be removed, but that's a lot different that deleting the article.

I don't doubt what you did was in WP:AGF, the problem is that you need to prove this person's notability, which I don;t think is done because 1) the sources you cite are not valid 2) this is a living person w.o sources. No one has deleted your article and no one will until a few more people weight in. This is not an attack on you, I simply patrol the new pages and tag them with what I think is appropriate. The first tag was less serious then this tag but you removed it without cause. Removing that tag prevents people from discussing concerns about the notability of this article. This tag can't be removed but if enough people support your article then it will be saved. I hope I can help you with anything in the future. Please don't hesitate to ask.

Keep per WP:NTEMP. We have a cinematographer whose verifiable career follows right alongside the very birth and growth of the German film industry... working from 1921 through 1965... beginning in Weimar Republic, surviving the Third Reich's Nazi Germany, and continuing after WWII in the then East Germany. His winning a major award as a cinematographer at the 1951 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (then under a Communist regime) is also a consideration. User:Northamerica1000's work is laudable in showing this man as making it into the enduring historical record. Books are what we have and can accept... specially considering the difficulties faced in finding harcopy news sources from the Weimar, Reich, and East German periods of German cinematic history.

Keep Although I hate house music, this article looks properly sourced Night of the Big Wind _talk 18:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately while it looks that way, it isn't. None of those are sources for this list. There is no neutral selection criteria for the list, just a lot of music charts from which the one editor has selected the ones (s)he considers to be "Old Skool Dance and Club Classics". They don't even define what "Old Skool Dance" is, let alone why these particular tunes are considered "classic" and not any of the hundreds of thousands of other songs that charted around the world during this time period. To quote from the article "Included on this list are examples from the most popular genres of the modern Club Scene, like disco, dance, eurodance, nu-disco, house, dance-pop, techno, trance, post-disco, reggae, freestyle music, dubstep, new jack swing, hip-hop, new wave and eurobeat.". Why these genres? What's "Old Skool" about dubstep or new wave"? Why are only UK chart singles considered viable? There is nothing to justify this particular selection, other than the author's personal opinions: in other words its pure synthesis and thus not allowed on Wikipedia. Sparthorse (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Answer to Sparthorse: The reason I choose to include different styles of the clubscene like disco, dance, eurodance, nu-disco, house, dance-pop, techno, trance, post-disco, reggae, freestyle music, dubstep, new jack swing, hip-hop, new wave and eurobeat is because they all belong to and are played in clubs. It is the evolution of clubmusic from disco in the 70's, dance-pop, hip-hop and house in the 80's, eurodance, techno and trance in the 90's etc that the list shows. Those names that are in this list have been heavily played in clubs, and the uk chart-perfomances indicate how popular the tune was at the time. I also have in mind including the US chart perfomances later. Old Skool Dance often refers to the clubscene of the 80's and the 90's. If you look at Music Charts, Music Television, CD Compilations, DVD Compilations and several articles on wikipedia about "disco", "house", "dance", "techno", "trance", "hip-hop", "post-disco", "new wave" etc., then you'll find those names and songs often mentioned as I have included on the list. They stands out as the biggest names and songs of the clubscene at the actual time. It's my intention to make a complete (as possibly) and neutral (as possibly) list over the Old Disco, Dance and Club classics from the beginning in 70's until today. I don't like all the songs on the list myself, but i include them because they deserve their place on the list because they were and are popular (no matter what my own personal opinion is). Others are welcome to fill in names/songs that are missing. And then in time we'll get a more complete list of/about the biggest names and songs that has been important and defining in the evolution of modern clubmusic. Maybe we should change the headline to "List of Old Skool Dance, Disco and (other) Club Classics"? Or "List of Disco, Dance, House and Club Music"? And more references can be added later.

Comment. I don't think it makes sense to delete an article on a future election when 1) we know for certain that it's going to happen, and 2) it's less than a year away. I personally think stats this detailed are better placed in Wikisource, but for some reason that data is expressly excluded from Wikisource. Whilst Wikipedia's not a great place to put info on very local election results, I'm hesitant to advocate deleting what is possibly the only online source of the information. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion. Try searching for "polyvorous" and "polyvores" (plural). The first comes up with significantly more results (57 in Google Books), such as page 201 of a book called "Fundamental and applied aspects of invertebrate pathology" (1986) which says that in 1888 someone called Thaxter defined it as "omnivorous". Most of the results seem to be about microbes. I have no idea whether that is the same thing. I suggest trying "monovore", "monovores" and "monovorous" as well, though I haven't looked for those. James500 (talk) 18:21, 15 January 2012 (UTC) I also think that it is a straightfoward application of English (or perhaps Latin) that something that is an omni-vore ("eater of everything") is also going to be a poly-vore ("eater of multiple things") by definition (hyphens added for emphasis).

Keep. I would say that generals in the reserve forces are every bit as notable as generals in the regular forces. They still hold their ranks in the forces of that country. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- reply - why? They seldom if ever actually command troops, they get minimal or non-existent coverage in the press; they merely hold a nominal title. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - With all due respect, if you think rank in the reserve forces is "nominal" and they do not command troops you should probably do a little more research. Officers in the reserve forces hold full rank and command units just like regular officers. A general in the National Guard holds the same rank as a general in the regular army and has exactly the same authority. National Guard units serve overseas in wars on exactly the same basis as regular troops and their officers have the same status as regular officers of the same rank. They therefore meet the criteria of WP:MILPEOPLE (and yes, I'm aware that it's not an accepted guideline, but it is widely accepted). -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Delete~~ - I have to agree that in terms of notability there should be no difference between a solider from the National Guard or the regular army, but on the same hand though I think Wikipedia's overarching policies have to outweigh the policies of individual projects.

  - Simply because if they've reached that rank they are, in the opinion of many of us, by definition notable. We have endless biographies of minor "celebrities" (in the loosest possible sense of the word) and sportspeople who have played one professional game. Many editors here consider that civil servants and military officers who have reached very senior positions after years of service are far more notable. They may not be as "glamorous" or as well-covered by the shallow, celebrity-obsessed media, but that doesn't mean they're not notable. That's actually the advantage of an honours system like the British one - it's hard for even the deletionists to argue that someone who has been recognised by their country and received a high national honour like a knighthood or CBE (which most generals receive) isn't notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case I must throw the WP:JUSTAPOLICY flag. --Sabre ball (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  - The article does not have "Significant coverage" nor any secondary "Sources" as listed in the WP:GNG. --Sabre ball (talk) 18:08, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - the National Guard isn't a reserve force anymore, for better or for worse. They're routinely deployed, on the front line and in the first wave, and the chief of the National Guard is even on the Joint Cheifs of Staff now. They're a full-fledged military service, and a one-star general passes WP:SOLDIER. That said, though, I think more evidence is needed here to see if there's a reasonable expectation of passing the WP:GNG. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable, failing WP:GNG. No "significant coverage" by sources "independent of the subject". --Ifnord (talk) 16:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. WP:SOLDIER suggests that officers reaching the rank of general will usually attract sufficient independent coverage to be notable. My Google search seemed to indicate otherwise. However, it showed that Jaworski sat on the Commission to Address Gun Violence, convened by the governor of Penna. in 2005 (source), and that he's presented at a couple of university conferences: at Duke's Triangle Institute for Security Studies (source) and at Chapel Hill's "Curriculum in Peace, War, and Defense" in 2003 (source). This might be enough to nudge him up into notability.

Incidentally, Jaworski has retired (source); if the article's kept, that fact should be incorporated into it. Ammodramus (talk) 15:50, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is a government school named after a business man and charitarian in the early years of Hong Kong (1860s). --minghong (talk) 03:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Minghong. I understand that you are the creator of the article, and thank you for your contributions. However, our general convention is not to have stand-alone articles on primary schools. The fact that the school is a government school, or that it was named after a person who lived a long time ago, or that he was a businessman or philanthropist, does not confer notability on the school. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: WRONG! and deceptive comment. There is no such "general convention": there have been endless talks about the topic but no consensus has been reached. The mass deletion is the statistical result of people like you conducting a mass deletion campaign, not the result of any Wikipedia guideline or convention. Your "thanking" the article's creator appears as plain inadequate to me. olivier (talk) 11:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I indicated above that "our general convention is not to have stand-alone articles on primary schools". I based that on my observation of closes of AFDs of primary schools -- they have from what I've seen not been to keep stand-alone articles for primary schools, unless there is a special showing of notability, which in the articles I've seen brought to AfD has generally not been the case. Either they have been redirected (as Kud, for example, indicates has been the case in 100s of AfD closures), or they have been deleted. In fact, some editors have indicated that the convention to redirect such articles is so great that they should be redirected without any discussion if an editor believes that a redirect is in order.--Epeefleche (talk) 11:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to Merriam-Webster online: "convention d : a general agreement about basic principles or procedures; also : a principle or procedure accepted as true or correct by convention." That's very close to what we call "consensus", here on Wikipedia.

There is no such agreement or consensus. There may be several active and vocal users in favor of deletion, but many others object it, therefore talking of "our general convention" is inappropriate. olivier (talk) 12:39, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had used the phrase to refer to "a practice ... widely observed in a group ... a custom". Which, along with "General agreement on or acceptance of certain practices or attitudes" is what the Free Dictionary defines the phrase as. Apologies if you thought it meant anything other. And, as you see above, I didn't say the practice was (as I understood it) to delete -- but rather to delete and/or redirect. Said another way -- the general practice that I have seen of such primary schools, which only state claims such as "named after a businessman" who lived a long time ago, is that they are not sufficiently notable to Keep, but rather the practice with them has been to not keep them as stand-alone articles (whether by redirect, delete, or in some cases where appropriate RS-supported material exists, by merge).--Epeefleche (talk) 12:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All right, the term "convention" was ambiguous in this context. A redirect is practically very close to a deletion, as the content becomes only visible in the article's history, making it invisible to most Wikipedia readers. The article as it stands today gives valuable insights into the history and current situation of primary education in Hong Kong, and for this reason the material is worth being kept. A pure blanking+redirect to Sai Ying Pun would remove this from Wikipedia, and I don't see it as an improvement. olivier (talk) 13:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The convention only exists with regards to non-notable schools. This is not the case here. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 14:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (blank, and merge any useful content) tper nominator's own suggestion.

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the ((R from school)) on the redirect page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and strongly object to the deceptive wording of the nomination. There is no "convention" to delete such articles. Also note that User:Epeefleche is engaged in a mass AfD'ing of primary schools across Wikipedia, resulting in unassuming and sincere editors fighting a deletionist (see User talk:Kudpung for some details). This has resulted in articles blanking and turned into a redirect without any part of the article being merged into the redirect target. Moreover, this article's creator User:minghong lacks English language fluency, as self-described on his user page and there is a risk of this being taken advantage of in this discussion. Finally, this specific school is one of the few early schools of Hong Kong still in operation and it has substantial historical value. Also, in its early days, education received in such a primary school was the only education many of the students would receive in their life. Finally, good references in Chinese language can certainly be found. Deleting the article will just prevent this from happening. olivier (talk) 11:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect - As is usually the case with primary schools, per what is basically an established consensus.

Keep. I concur with Olivier's sentiments about the mass deletions. As per Olivier this is a very old school with a long history. The sources are all in Chinese, and the links need fixing. Specialist help is required not deletion. Note too that there is already an article on this school in the Chinese-language Wikipedia. There is no requirement that sources have to be in the English language. As no Chinese-speaking contributors have contributed to this debate no one has been able to verify the sources or translate the content of Chinese Wikipedia article.

Quietus (short story)[edit]

Not notable. Although the author is notable for other works, the article gives no reason to think that this particular short story is particularly notable, and the article consists only of a plot summary. I put a notability tag on it in March of last year, and in the intervening nine months nobody has put forth any arguments saying that the story is notable (for that matter, nobody made any changes to the article at all). So I propose that the article should be deleted as not notable; if an editor wanted to add content about the story, it could easily be added to the article on the short story collection of which it is a part.

Journal of Global Health[edit]

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

Article was PRODded with reason "Non-notable new journal, not listed in any selective major databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." De-PRODded by article creator because: "I have removed the proposed deletion notice as this journal runs for one year now, it has applied for PubMed indexing this week and is run by one of the biggest research teams. Soon it will receive an impact factor as well." That the journal has been in existence for 1 year (and has published 2 issues) is irrelevant. As an open-access journal, it will certainly be listed in PubMed, but whether it will be included in the selective part (MEDLINE) is another matter. At this point, there is no indication either that the journal is going to be included in Thomson-Reuters databases (and hence receive an impact factor). See WP:CRYSTAL. At this point, the PROD rationale stands, hence: delete (without prejudice for re-creation at a later time if the journal gets included in selective databases or independent sources about the journal become available).

    - Actually this example suggests that CNET ref wasn't enough to keep. The nominator withdraw the entry only after new references appeared (though I still wouldn't, as none of them seems reliable). — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Also note, that this review is a clear advertisement, and the reviewer has an interest in advertising this software (thus advertising CNET Downloads usage), so I would completely discard it.

        This one seems to be yet less reliable, as the Mac Publishing Community Standards indicate that they have no editorial control at all and the author of review is a "regular contributor".

What do you even mean by "regular contributor"? His profile page does not say that and the article does not say that. I am confused about what you mean because he is a staff member, not any regular editor. The issue is not whether all of them are notable.

Note: Since I started this AfD and said that the article was unsourced, eight references have been added. I have looked at all of them. Unfortunately the little amount of Chinese I learnt many years ago and subsequently largely forgot is of no use in following them, so I am relying on Google translations. One of the references is a photocopy of a newspaper, so Google translation is not possible, and I can make no comment on its content. (Incidentally, it is almost certainly a copyright infringement, and so should not be linked to from Wikipedia, which is why I am not adding a link here.) http://www.chsc.hk/psp/psp_sch_list.php?lang_id=1&search_mode=&frmMode=pagebreak&district_id=2&page=3 is a mere list of schools, and does nothing towards establishing notability. http://kcs.edu.hk/history.htm is promotional in character, and the Google translation includes the notice "Copyright by Kiangsu & Chekiang School (Nursery, Kindergarten, Primary & Int'l Section) 2000", so it is clearly not an independent source. http://lifein.hk/Education/PrimarySchDet.aspx?id=491&name=Kiangsu%20&%20Chekiang%20Primary%20School%20%28W.D.%29 is a bare list of facts about the school, such as the school's address, the name of the principal, the year of foundation, the school hours, etc, so it does nothing to establish notability. http://www.wxjy.com.cn/xwzx/readnews.asp?newsid=17648 gives one passing mention of the school. http://life.mingpao.com/htm/primary2006/cfm/content.cfm?Path=sch_pri/sch_pri7.htm does give more significant coverage to the school. The page is written in glowing terms, so much so as to cause me to wonder how much of an independent source it is. I have looked round the site to try to determine its nature. The site has various pages giving glowing praise to various private schools, and also at least one page generously praising private education in general. I am open to correction by anyone with a knowledge of Chinese, but it seems to me that the site is a promotional vehicle for schools. http://www.webcitation.org/64T4KyNk4 also gives glowing praise to the school, but is not very substantial: certainly not enough so to establish notability. http://www.edb.gov.hk/FileManager/TC/Content_6605/KiangsuChekiang.pdf is a report of an appraisal by the Education Bureau of Hong Kong. The fact that such an appraisal has been carried out does nothing to establish notability: millions of schools undergo inspections and appraisals. Unfortunately, although the author of the article has evidently put some effort into providing references, the sum total of them comes nowhere near to the substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources that we need. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no requirement that all citations be independent of the subject. I would add that for a school that has had the same principal for 48 years, their histories are inevitably intimately intertwined, and it is wholly appropriate to rely on it as a substantial source. In addition, the key source for this article is the Ming Pao article (news clipping), and while the web page itself may be copyright violation (although it may not), it does indicate such an article's existence can be verified. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 15:15, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree w/Oh that independent sources are appropriate (within limits) to use to source an article, but also believe that they do not count towards notability. Oh -- we have a convention of not keeping primary schools as stand-alone article, absent unusual circumstances. Can you clarify for us the full breadth of the circumstances here that you feel warrant an exception to the usual approach of redirecting or deleting or merging such an article? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I would argue that despite the convention for not keeping primary school articles, that does not mean that all PS articles have to be deleted. I live in Hong Kong, and know for a fact that the school is extremely notable. You stop anybody in the street – and I mean any Hong Kong resident, and they will tell you exactly what this school is notable for (as clearly stated in the lead section). I will try to find more independent sources to further develop the article. As web archives of Chinese newspapers are somewhat inadequate, I will have to look at printed sources. It's clearly inappropriate to merge or redirect, for I can see no suitable candidate target. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 01:58, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I certainly agree both that a) the convention appears to exist; and b) the convention does not mean that all PS articles have to be deleted. What I am trying to get at is what the verifiable circumstances are that put this PS into the "exception" category. It may be that some would suggest a redirect/merge -- if that were the course -- to the municipality, but hopefully we won't need to go that route. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        "Hope" is not relevant here: in many cases, mergers or redirects are fine. But in this case, as Ohconfucius mentioned, it would be a challenge to find an existing appropriate target. North Point would be a redirect/merge target candidate, but the material would fit rather poorly in the article. Maybe an alternative would be to create the Kiangsu & Chekiang Residents (HK) Association article, and include the material in an "education" section, as it is also related to Kiangsu-Chekiang College (Shatin) and Kiangsu-Chekiang College (Kwai Chung). In any case, establishing the first Mandarin speaking school in Cantonese and English speaking Hong Kong in 1953 (then a British Colony) had major political significance in a tense context, both locally (Hong Kong 1956 riots), in China (Three-anti and Five-anti Campaigns) and in the region (Korean War). I therefore believe that noone here would disagree with the fact that this school is notable, or is at least very probably notable. What is lacking are sources accepted as reliable to support some of the key information in the article. I am sure that we all have already seen this situation many times and we all know that such sources will eventually be found. Some ways to improve the article could be to give more context: 1) about the significance of Mandarin teaching at that time in Hong Kong and 2) give some information about the Kiangsu & Chekiang Residents (HK) Association itself. olivier (talk) 10:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: an important part of the history of North Point and Hong Kong in general. This is a good reason to regard this primary school as an exception. Plus, the article is now sourced, even if the sources are not perfect at the moment. As a consequence, I cannot agree with the nomination. olivier (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article demonstrates the notability of the school through notable alumni, references etc. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 00:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep although this may be a minority viewpoint I believe that the deletionists are being foolhardy in their blind opposition to schools articles. Every school office I have been to has dozens of newspaper articles about the school framed on the wall. This clearly meets GNG as they are multiple non-trivial sources. Therefore based on NRVE the only decision should be keep. Some schools are lucky enough to have these sources on google news but many older and in fact more historically notable ones do not and that is a shame. Microfilm is just as important. Based on this experience it should be clear that all schools are notable. Also at the very least this school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article, not deleted outright. This preserves the edit history for when sources are found. It should also be noted that this is part of a mass nomination and that should be frowned upon by the community as it shows there was unlikely a committed effort to find proper sources before nomination. I don't think even a PROD was tried first here. =( This school in particular seems to have a size to it showing obvious notability.LuciferWildCat (talk) 18:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Ok so the sources are not Time (magazine) but they aren't terrible either, and there are a reasonable number of them. As for 'why is this school notable': most are the sources are consistent in their coverage of this school as a pioneer of Mandarin teaching in Hong Kong.

Hollow corporation[edit]

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

The term of "hollow corporation" as it is used in this article is a neologism coined by HotwirePR. The article was added into Wikipedia by a user that shares the same name as the marketing executive for Hotwire PR and a search does not bring up anything to show that this is a notable term or idea. What does come up under this term does not describe what the article describes. I believe it to be PR for HotwirePR, but not to the point where it could be speedied. The page's only two sources are for a journal entry that doesn't seem to use the term "hollow corporation" at all and a link to an article that does not appear to be a reliable source.

Delete. Whatever else this is, it's content that is only apparently meaningful, but too confused to get any sense out of: A hollow corporation is a corporation which fails to consider its stakeholders, recognisable by a tendency to ignore the wider influencer network. Hollow corporations consistently fail to map their stakeholders, leaving them both unaware of who their wider stakeholder network consists of and unable to gauge the influence that each member of that network might yield. Map their stakeholders? What the hell? At any rate, redirect to shell corporation might be a possibility. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Northamerica1000^(talk) 16:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While you have added three references, these are not "independent third party sources" needed to establish notability.

I changed my !vote to weak keep. I initially agree with the general idea of merging information from this article to a new article titled, "List of weather services", or something to that effect. Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:06, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This article does not fail WP:NOTDIR, the topic range is narrow and discriminate; the article does not read like "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics", "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations" or "A complete exposition of all possible details", etc. Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added more content to the article, including information from a reliable source – English news website of the Taiwan-based China Times News Group. The second source listed below (article title: "Launching of Automated Weather Station") is a primary source that verifies information; not to establish notability.

In 2011, Taiwan donated fifteen weather stations to the Philippines' Department of Science and Technology, and it has been reported that "The Philippines weather bureau will also share information from the new weather stations with Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau, helping expand the range of Taiwan's weather forecasts."^[1] PAGASA and the Philippines Department of Science and Technology work jointly in the implementation of weather stations.^[2]

The city of Naga uses information from Typhoon2000 in its iTyphoon application, which is used to on various mobile devices to provide weather updates.^[3]

—Northamerica1000^(talk) 21:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Be bold: The article has been renamed to "List of weather agencies and websites in the Philippines, per rationale that this title is more accurate per the content in the article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:25, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If there is a Wikipedia article for the entity that has its website listed there, then it should be on the list. Also if it is a government organization or part of a major educational or research facility. If its just some guy's blog, then you have to ask, is this blog notable, do news sites ever link to it, where do they get their information from, etc. If they just look up information online and post it on their blog, they probably aren't notable. Who belongs on or off the list can be discussed on the talk page and worked out there. Dream Focus 07:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename - Most of the notable organisations who forecast for the Philippines also forecast for the Western Pacific ocean in general (180-100E roughly) so i would like to propose a rename to List of weather websites in the western pacific ocean. Notable organisations include Typhoon 2000, the JMA, JTWC PAGASA etc and not Visayas Typhoon Center which is just some guys blog.Jason Rees (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Then I would rather see it renamed to "List of weather services in...". A "List of websites...." type article is going too much in the direction of a directory page, and encourages other editors to add their "websites" (~ blogs ..) to it.

Delete. WP:NOTDIR#4 fully applies to this list. The list would be acceptable if it would only contain notable entries, that is, web sites covered by their own Wikipedia articles. Makes three entries... not really an informative list then. Nageh (talk) 04:28, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, and out of these three only one is really Philippine, the others being from Japan and Hawai, USA. A global list of weather services would make sense, but on a per country basis it becomes a useless list with only a few notable entries. MakeSense64 (talk) 07:03, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been expanded and improved. In my opinion this article (at this time) does not read like a directory or a resource for conducting business, and does not have a promotional tone. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There does not appear to be a List of weather websites (or List of online weather services, or whatever), so maybe this could be repurposed in scope to make it global and the non-notable entries removed, thus obviating any NOTDIR concerns (which are almost always a matter of normal editing, not deletion). postdlf (talk) 05:03, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would support the creation of a List of weather services, and then any useful entries from this article can be selectively merged into it. "List of weather websites" is a name I would avoid. Most weather services have websites, but their activity/service is usually not limited to online reporting. MakeSense64 (talk) 07:08, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The site of Slovenia's Ministry of Culture has this text "Since their founding a range of well-received exhibitions prepared by the Coastal Galleries have had a major influence on the visual arts scene, not only in the coastal region but also in the rest of Slovenia"[15] which is at least some claim to notability. AllyD (talk) 17:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm still not clear what the claim of notability is here. --RadioFan (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The galleries have hosted exhibitions of top artists, such as Zoran Mušič. The A+A Gallery, one of the Galleries, participates at the Venice Biennale. I think those two reasons should suffice. --Tone 22:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How does that meet either our general notability criteria as reflected in GNG, or any other accepted wp notability criteria? Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It generates a significant coverage, the first point of the GNG. As said, sources exist, they just need to be incorporated into the article. --Tone 08:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We need substantial, non-trivial coverage/discussion of the galleries themselves in RSs. Mentions of gallery exhibitions that are passing in nature, for example, will not confer notability. Furthermore, notability is not inherited -- An organization is not notable merely because a notable person was associated with it -- if the organization itself did not receive notice, then the organization is not notable. And I'm not sure about what the participation is of the A+A Gallery at the Venice Bienielle ... I could not find mention of it when I did a search on the VB site.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:46, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a substantial, non-trivial coverage/discussion of the galleries themselves in an RS. The reference has been included in the article and was mentioned in the AllyD's comment just before mine. Do you disagree with that? A quick internet search also reveals a museums.si entry, and the coverage of an award presented by this institution in a national newspaper. — Yerpo ^Eh? 14:20, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

being a govt resource gives culture.si some credibility but the link above is essentially a directory entry and doesn't cover the subject in much detail. Official sites which are there to promote tourism are great for verifying details in the articles, but they aren't that helpful in determining notability as they tend to be indiscriminate in their inclusion policies.

Keep - notable enough. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 14:23, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment can you elaborate on how you feel this subject meets notability guidelines? WP:JUSTAVOTE !votes tend to get passed over by closing admins, especially when other voters (on both sides of the issue) have detailed arguments, most with links.--RadioFan (talk) 15:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The topic has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", listed above and elsewhere. For example, this article describes the institution as being among the four most recognizable galleries in Slovenia and being the only such institution in Slovenia that has an outpost abroad. Istrian Encyclopedia also contains an article on the institution,[16], describing it as the central gallery institution in the Slovenian Littoral. Its notability is also explained in this article (pg. 30). --Eleassar ^{my talk} 20:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Note that many websites have this gallery listed as "Obalne Galerije Piran". Reference searches under this name may yield more reliable sources. Also note that, per the article, there are galleries in Koper, Slovenia and Venice, Italy. Searches for Italian sources under the name "Gallerie Costiere Pirano" may be fruitful. Northamerica1000^(talk) 17:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, this could be good info. Instead of leaving it for others, could you go ahead and share what you found when you used these as searchs and how you think they might help this article meet notability guidelines?--RadioFan (talk) 22:24, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Wikipedia is volunteer driven, perhaps you could try some searches yourself, rather than suggesting what others should do to counter your !vote to delete this article.

Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NA -- you are, as usual, doing an exemplary job here. Which is appreciated. You are of course correct that wp is volunteer-driven, and that you didn't have to help by responding to RF's request. You could have simply left it with your indication of the alternate names we weren't aware of, which was a great help. I thank you for taking it even a step further. At the same time, I'm guessing that RF wasn't trying to tweak you, or to irritate you, or to suggest that you were required to do anything ... but just making a good faith request, which you were free to satisfy or ignore. I've seem my share of rudeness by an editor or two this week, but I at least didn't read into RF's request what you may have.

Keep Sources are not required in articles to "assert notability" - there is no policy to that effect. If the nominator wants some more sources then he should add them himself. He might then understand the topic better. In this case the character was not only a recurring character in Cheers but also had a starring role in a separate show, The Tortellis. This is documented in detail in sources such as The American Family on Television. Warden (talk) 17:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Warden is correct that the sources need not be reflected in the wp article, for purposes of withstanding an AfD.

To elaborate on my !vote:
Wikipedia does not keep articles around in the hope that the topic may someday become notable. If we did, every high school drama student and prep school athlete would have articles. The process is first, notability, and then—and only then—article creation. If the event does happen to someday become notable, then it's no big deal to undelete it or to move a userfied version into mainspace. Keeping this around because it might someday be notable is simply against policy.

Those claiming that the first AFD has bearing on this one are incorrect. The result of that was not a speedy keep, it was a speedy close. That's because (as the page says) the nominator should have started a merge discussion, not an AFD. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 06:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy. Too early to tell whether it is notable (see WP:EVENT/WP:NOTNEWS: a flurry of coverage on the day of the attacks and a few days after, even if international, doesn't demonstrate lasting encyclopedic significance), but if it does turn out to be notable due to historical impact or discussion in longer-term works such as academic books (I phrase it this way to avoid suggesting that I believe it might become notable due to what will be another short flurry of coverage around trial and sentencing before the event is never heard of again), it would be a shame to lose the work. To Magister Scienta: please be aware that the previous speedy keep is not an endorsement of the article, it's just what tends to happen when the nominator isn't actually proposing deletion. Also re your comments on the article talk page, you misunderstand the relationship of WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS - the whole point of the latter is that not every event covered in the newspaper is encyclopedic, which is why we have WP:EVENT. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely, more likely than not it will be forgotten, and if it does come to pass then it can be undeleted.

Mt king ^(edits) 21:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:N/CA "...media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources." Since this event is undeniably high-profile (that fact has been stipulated by pretty much every editor involved) and since the article's sources are reliable, non-trivial, and intellectually independent, it seems to me that this policy is a valid justification of the article's notability. Magister Scienta ^talk 23:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But the coverage is only routine coverage of the crime exacerbated by the timing of the act, no "enduring historical significance" has even been suggested, let alone cited. Mt king ^(edits) 00:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are two issues with your line of thought. 1) You keep on quoting the above line but please remember it's full context, "Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance." Having an enduring historical significance is not an absolute requirement for an article but simply one way (albeit a common way) to establish notability for an event. 2) Even if this was a required criterion (which again I really believe it is not), the event is too recent to effectively be measured by this criterion. It's commonsense that when something can not be logically applied, it should not be logically applied. Magister Scienta ^talk 00:41, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment User:Magister Scienta, you're quoting WP:N/CA, but (imo) you're leaving out the most important part: "provided such coverage meets the above guidelines"—which of the above guidelines do you believe it has met? To me, it doesn't appear that this topic meets WP:EFFECT, WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:INDEPTH, and/or WP:PERSISTENCE. It may meet WP:DIVERSE but I don't believe that that alone is sufficient.

Speedy Keep this has multiple non trivial coverage in reliable sources and is also a unique disaster.LuciferWildCat (talk) 18:59, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Have you ever read the relevant guideline, at WP:KEEP? Are you going to argue, for instance, that "the nomination was unquestionably vandalism or disruption"? Or is this what I think it is, a hollow cry not based on any knowledge at all about our policies and guidelines, starting with WP:AGF? Drmies (talk) 02:21, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't appreciate your unprofessional and inaccurate response, and I am going to disengage from further direct communication with you on any and all matters.LuciferWildCat (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't appreciate your incorrect use of WP:KEEP and your suggestion (just read it) that the nomination was an act of vandalism or that the nominator was banned. If you don't know what you're talking about, it's maybe best to keep it shut. And if you are called on a pretty grievous error, you could try apologizing instead of whining about "unprofessional" stuff. In fact, as everyone knows, you were incorrect. Read up, kid, before you start throwing policy around. You're not on the playground anymore, and you have made a pretty serious accusation against the nominator. Or you're just ignorant. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies, I understand that you feel passionately about this article's deletion (and you have made many good arguments supporting your position) but I urge you to be a little more civil in your remarks. By the way, as of now no one has countered my keep argument (specifically my rebuttal) found above, perhaps you would give your opinion on the logic of my argument and the rebuttal I made defending it. Thanks and I await your comments, Magister Scienta ^talk 05:02, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I guess you'll be refactoring this soon, since I haven't commented on whether this should be kept or not. And if you would read WP:KEEP, you would see that calling for a speedy keep means the person calling for it is claiming that the nominator is disruptive and/or a vandal. Shall we take a quick stroll through that guideline? 1. The nominator withdraws the nomination or fails to advance an argument for deletion—perhaps only proposing a non-deletion action such as moving or merging, and no one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted. This is not the case here. 2. The nomination was unquestionably vandalism or disruption and (since bad motivations of the nominator don't have direct bearing on the validity of the nomination) nobody unrelated recommends deleting it. Well. 3. The nominator is banned, so they are not supposed to edit. The nominator is not banned. 4. The page is a policy or guideline. Not applicable. 5. The article is currently linked from the Main Page. Not applicable. So, the only conclusion I can draw is that LuciferWildcat is claiming that the nomination is vandalism or disruption, and that, in this case, suggests a lack of good faith. Drmies (talk) 05:18, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How about taking a breath here, Drmies, before firing accusations of bad faith. An editor who apparently joined less than two months ago said "Speedy Keep" when he or she should have said "Strong Keep." Is this error really such an outrage? Who did this editor seriously inconvenience with this error? In contrast with, say, the sponsor of this deletion request, who, to take one example, requested a Speedy Delete of Alexey Pivovarov within less than 10 minutes of that article's creation last week. Instead of being able to build that article, editors had to deal with with Mtking's multiple deletion demands. Look at the article now that it's had a few days to develop and it's unquestionably notable, with the implication being that Mtking's attacks on the page right out of the gate amounted to editor harassment. In terms of the formal rules, he's within his rights, of course, but in terms of the project in my view it's unhelpful. All this to say that let's be pragmatic here and focus our fire on those who are interfering with Wikipedia's development, which LuciferWildcat doesn't seem to be doing since the "Speedy" of his "Speedy Keep" opinion can be readily ignored or discounted. Closing admins know, or should know, the rules for Speedy Keep anyway such that I don't think there is any serious danger of a "speedy keep" being applied here. The same can't be said of the deletionists since their AfD requests cannot be ignored, they essentially demand a response.--Brian Dell (talk) 12:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think people who have a clue should start throwing terms around they don't understand. The above user doesn't know what "speedy keep" means or what user talk pages are for~~, and the first person who jumps to their defense claims I have made good arguments to delete this article--which of course I haven't~~. So if you want to tell me to take a deep breath, you may; if you tell other editors here to start reading before they type, that might be more helpful. I suggest you also have a look at Lucifer's talk pages and interactions with seasoned editors: I am not the only one who has remarked on their word choice and lack of knowledge of policies and guidelines. Being a newbie is one thing, but it should come with a certain amount of modesty and a willingness to know the rules. Frankly, I'm tired of these AfD discussions dominated by people who can't tell GNG, for instance, from a hole in the ground. Can I exhale now? Drmies (talk) 15:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As I clarified on my talkpage, I accidentally mixed up Dori and Drmies (I was very tired) in my earlier comment. I apologize for the confusion but I don't think my mistake has any gravity on the outcome of this discussion. Magister Scienta ^talk 16:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Thank you Magister. I'm keeping my arguments out of this--I think we have a case of WP:NOTNEWS here, but the amount of coverage (and the recentism so popular among Wikipedia editors) will probably ensure that this is kept. Drmies (talk) 17:57, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well for my part I'm "tired of these AfD discussions" that include so much repetition, if the AfD is even necessary in the first place. Mtking keeps repeating "historical significance" when one mention should not only be enough, but would allow for others to make a single response to that view. It would allow for a shorter and more representative discussion. In this case, you made your point with your first response when you pointed to WP:KEEP. Your second response just repeated the argument and accordingly added nothing substantive to this AfD discussion, in my view, such that this response could have and should have gone to the user's personal page. What's previously been posted to user talk pages is frankly off topic, what would be on topic is the arguments you say you are "keeping... out of this." re the "rules", these are meant to avoid repeated arguments over the same issues in AfDs, they were not brought down to us by the gods, such that intimate familiarity with them makes one some sort of Wikipedia ayatollah.--Brian Dell (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Lead news item on the national news for several days, was mentioned in the international news. The only reason for deletion is that it happened in the US. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:39, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator I can assure you that it happened in the US was not relevant, what is of relevance is the total lack of sourcing to demonstrate any historical significance to this event, it is a news story about a crime in which there was no deaths and no injuries, it got hyped up coverage only due to the slow news window between Christmas and New Year and the ever so sexy (as far as the media are concerned) illegal immigration issues.Mt king ^(edits) 06:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typical Wikipedia anti-Americanism. If it happened in the US, it doesn't matter, only if it happened in some other country.

No, it's "use WP:BOLD and WP:IAR to get this drama-instigator out of main space immediately so that editors will stop using AfD to debate something for which it is too soon after the event to determine enduring notability" How long an article like this should be incubated is a different issue, but one suggestion is two weeks, based on allowing time for the weekly news magazines to weigh in.

Merge with Midseason replacement. Concept seems to be notable. Of course recent years of TV are going to be much more extensively covered than earlier ones. But that really has nothing to do with keeping this article or not. Kitfoxxe (talk) 20:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge it back into Midseason replacement, currently a stub that could use some "beefing up". There are a few sources in the article, and I am sure more can be found. The term "midseason replacement" has a discrete definition in the industry (specifically defined in the article Midseason replacement). The fact that a list is impossible to complete or open-ended is an argument to avoid, I'm sure of it, I just can't find the policy or (more likely) essay that mentions it. And if it's not a policy or essay, then I'll go write an essay about it. :) Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 03:23, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge back per above; there's no need to split such a short definition from this list. That a show started as a midseason replacement is something often mentioned and compared in TV criticism and analysis.[17],[18],[19] If reliable sources identify it as such, then it qualifies, contra Nate's concern about a lack of definition (people really need to do research to understand an unfamiliar topic instead of assuming that their personal lack of knowledge reflects anything more than just that).[20] The nom should also be admonished for bringing this here instead of merging himself, per WP:ATD. postdlf (talk) 20:15, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I nominated this article at Aprock's suggestion, but my personal opinion is that this article should be kept. (Full disclosure: I have added a majority of the content to the article.) Aprock raises two issues: Notability and POV fork. With regard to notability, I have (after Aprock's comment) added a reliable source to the article which notes, correctly in my view, that the article is "the most controversial article in the history of American psychology." As the many references that I have added substantiate, there is no doubt that this was a hugely controversial article. (My personal opinion is that the article was flawed as well, but I don't think that truth/falseness enters into a judgment about notability.) With regard to a POV fork, I don't really understand that complaint. I can see that the topic of race/IQ/Jensen is a contentious topic at Wikipedia. But my purpose in creating this article is simply to create this article. I don't see it as a fork from anything else. And I would certainly love it if other people would contribute to the article as well! If anyone has any suggestions for how to improve the article, assuming it is kept, please let me know on the talk page. Yfever (talk) 21:01, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—At a superficial level, based on the references, this article appears to satisfy the notability requirements. If this is a PoV fork, where is it a fork from? It looks to be an orphan. Regards, RJH (talk) 21:30, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Delete per the previous AfD. I suggest that anyone interested in commenting at this AfD review the previous AfD discussion, as the discussion there is entirely relevant to this version of the article. The forking issues here amount to replicating content already covered extensively and in fuller context at Arthur Jensen#IQ_and_academic_achievement and History of the race and intelligence controversy#1960-1980. Standalone articles such as these are ripe for presenting the work without sufficient context. Already, despite the fact that the work is called "most controversial", there is no substantive discussion of this controvery. Better to just point to the articles which have the content instead of creating a useless stub. aprock (talk) 04:43, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "replicating content"? At least 9 of the 15 citations in the article do not appear in those other two article sections. Those are all new reliable sources that I found and added. Assuming that the article is kept, I am happy to add more "substantive discussion of this controversy" but the lack of such a discussion currently does not strike me as a reason to delete. (But, to be clear, I don't have any experience with this process.) Yfever (talk) 06:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this comes down to how you feel about the previous AfD. If you disagree with it, I can see why you might want to rehash the entire discussion again. As it stands, there is no need to fork this content off into a separate article. The coverage of the book in the main articles is more complete and in a better context. aprock (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that feelings about the previous AfD might play a big part here. I read through it, but then got lost in some of the related (endless) fighting/sniping on various other pages. Quite a battle! So, I can't say that I really agree or disagree with the previous discussion. I don't really care about it. I just want to write a good article. One other comment: isn't it a sign that we need a separate article that this topic has extensive coverage in (at least) two other places, as your links demonstrate? That is, it makes sense (to me) to create a single good article and then provide links to it from anywhere that makes sense. That is how I see articles like Flynn Effect working, but maybe I don't understand the reasoning here. In any event, I appreciate your comments. Yfever (talk) 17:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I tend to agree with Yfever that because this piece of writing itself is controversial in nature in the field that it merits its own article. It sounds like Yfever is committed to working on this. I am not terribly familiar with the topic, but if it can in any way be claimed that the article is "the most controversial article in the history of American psychology" readers would only be served by there being a comprehensive wikipedia article about it. --MLKLewis (talk) 23:33, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Arthur Jensen#IQ and academic achievement. No need to fork information about this to a separate article, and the treatment in the Jensen article is fuller than that in this article. Only if the information in Arthur Jensen becomes so extensive as to overwhelm that article should a split be necessary. (Note that I can't see the previous article deleted via AfD.)

Redirect seems like the obvious solution. I would not have a problem with a "keep". It's a page that seems unnecessary more than anything. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 01:44, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Famous article, not merely notable. Hundreds of papers discussing it. Can't see why it's unnecessary--sometimes a scientific paper by itself is notable. It's more than the most controversial paper in the history of American psychology--it's the most controversial one in psychology ever. When something is famous enough, it gets a separate article. Isn't that what the entire principle of Notability is about? Merging this into Jensen is like merging Hamlet into Shakespeare. It could be done, but it shows an unawareness of appropriate emphasis.

This doesn't look like a real language-learning method. I have never heard of it outside Wikipedia, and I can only find mirror sites and self-published books that mention it.
