This is a minor plot element in a science fiction novel series. On its own, it is not notable because it lacks substantial coverage in independent reliable sources (WP:N). The content should not be merged anywhere because it is unsourced, reads like original research (WP:OR) and consists only of excessively detailed plot summary written in an in-universe style (see WP:WAF).

Comment: There have been ongoing attempts (likely WP:COI) to create articles promoting this author and her books.
The user:Love's Journey account is blocked for WP:SPAM. There are also various anon-IPv4's in the 117.224.* and 117.225.* range which are hitting the same or related pages. The WP:AFC submissions have been rejected repeatedly by various reviewers as self-promotional, which usually brings nice little talk-page notes like "Talk:Articles for creation/Singh Rashmi - Well, I am in no way connected to the author. Only I belong to her state. I thought she deserves page being a prolific writer so i created this." - 117.225.89.236 (an IP which isn't in the edit history of the declined AFC submission "Singh Rashmi" but in this same block). Most of these notes are being dumped on user talk pages of WP:AFC reviewers who have refused to move pages of apparent self-promotion for the books in question into mainspace; the AFC helpdesk is also receiving these. Normally, WP:AFC tries to avoid escalating simple WP:COI issues to WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, the username policy board and the like if the only disruption is entirely outside main article space; presumbably a WP:COI draft in WP:AFC that gets rejected in AFC hasn't harmed the rest of the encyclopaedia in any way, so it gets declined and life goes on. If this is spilling into mainspace (such as by inserting promotion into this page or others), that's different. "Wikiquette" was tried, without success. If the "Singh Rashmi" self-promotion spills into mainspace, I would strongly advise handling this as a WP:COI and taking it to COI/N. K7L (talk) 04:02, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The only things encyclopedic about this collapse are the causes, resulting deaths, and subsequent lawsuits, all of which already exists in 303 East 51st Street#Crane Collapse (in fact, the lede in this article is an exact duplicate of that section). The rest of the article is unsourced, trivial garbage (seriously, no one researching this accident would give a damn about what buildings were slightly damaged or evacuated or what streets had to be closed during the clean up). I do not see a need to have separate articles about the building and accident unless substantially more information about either can be found, which I doubt will happen since most of the lawsuits filed in the aftermath of the collapse have been settled. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are two agencies that have no notability other than their involvement in the crane collapse (searching them on any search engine only comes up with their websites, yellow pages, or articles related to the accident)

Having searched various databanks available to me, I have no reason to believe that this article meets the required notability requirements. It is also a recreation of a page that had previously been deleted, and the evidence on the talk page of the editor who created this version indicates he was the creator of the previous version(s) as well. I believe that the article should be deleted on the failure to clearly demonstrate that the subject meets notability requirements. I also believe that there is sufficient grounds to request that the article be salted to prevent further recreation until and unless notability is clearly established.

keep or merge'. Every US financial company even in the 19th century is documented, but don't expect the material to be on line. Any business librarian can help you find it. I was confused initially because the infobox says NYSE, but the listing is not for this , but the parent company. All NYSE companies are N, as shown in multiple AfDs, so the default if you do not find enough fora separate article.is to merge with Stewart Law and Land Title Company. Perhaps that should have been suggested instead of an AfD .

Delete the article Sherbro Caulkers for lack of notability. The article has been around since 2007 and has two listed sources, a web page and page 7 of the 1994 book Black Poor and White Philanthropists. However that web page mentions neither "Sherbro" nor "Caulkers" and in fact seems to have nothing to do with the Caulker family, although it is about Sierra Leone. A search of the book Black Poor and White Philanthropists turned up no mention of Caulkers, and a detailed reading of page 7 provided nothing. The Sherbro people have their own article, and there it says, for example, The Sherbro intermarried with them [English traders], producing Afro-European clans such as the Tuckers and the Caulkers. however all mentions of such intermarriage and all mentions of the Caulkers in that article were added by the author of this article, and all of them are without citation. After finding the unsupportive citations, I tried to find some material on this family, and while certainly not exhaustive, I didn't get anywhere fast. One mention that I found was From the 1700s onward, Corker girls married prominent European and Afro-European traders such as the Rogers Tuckers and Clecelaands, and produced new Afro-European clans. page 46 in The Caulkers of Sierra Leone by Imodale Caulker-Burnett, a 2010 vanity press (Xlibris Corp.) book. Not a reliable source and not a basis for notability. The Sherbro Caulkers article appears to be about a rather non-notable Sierra Leone family and to the extent that it is more than a regurgitation of some Sierra Leone history, to be original research about the family or clan. --Bejnar (talk) 03:07, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article Sherbro Rogerses for lack of notability. The article has been around since 2007 and has a single source, a web page. However that web page mentions neither "Sherbro" nor "Rogers" nor "Rogerses" and in fact seems to have nothing to do with the Rogers family, although it is about Sierra Leone. In another article by the same editor Sherbro Caulkers (which will be listed soon for Afd), there is a reference to the 1994 book Black Poor and White Philanthropists however a search of that book does not provide information to support this article either. The Sherbro people have their own article, and there it says, for example, The Sherbro intermarried with them [English traders], producing Afro-European clans such as the Tuckers and the Caulkers. however all mentions of the intermarriage were added by the author of this article, and all of them are without citation.

I have found few sources that would be able to support the article aside from the current editorandpublisher.com reference. Several of the references are either award presentations, press releases, insufficient or mention the managing editor DC Livers. I found a press release here, an unreliable blog post here, award presentation here, a mention of the foundation and one of their award shows here and news article that would provide little encyclopedia material here. There is also another mention of the award and DC Livers here and a blog here that focuses with a foundation member rather than the foundation itself.
Google Books only found one book mentioning this foundation here, which is probably the best reference I have found and disregarding the book's "pride and mission" sentences. Google News (it briefly continues at the second page of results) also provided other links that were either mentioning DC Livers or awards. It appears that this is an important Black press foundation but it seems there is little significant coverage about them. I also understand that this article houses several of their publications.

Non notable engineer, fails WP:BIO. Hasn't received significant attention in reliable independent sources. While he has technically "designed" a number of NHRP listed buildings, he is not noted for his designs, in fact one of the sources cited in the article literally stateson page 21: "Smith and other design engineers needed to fill in the details.[...] They accomplished this with little innovation." The sources given are about the registered places, not about the engineer, apart from the "who's who" from 1922 which lists every engineer apparently, and is hardly discriminate.

Keep. "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field": he was chief design engineer for the Illinois Waterway which connects the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. There are adequate sources already included in the article, I think. And as noted at Talk of the article, there exist additional reliable, secondary sources available in the form of NRHP nomination documents, not yet obtained by me or by the deletion proposer, which are reasonably expected to provide additional biography and explanation of the importance of this person. Contrary to what's stated in the deletion proposal. Also those NRHP nomination documents will include bibliographies of additional sources. --doncram 08:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Another kind of reason to create and keep articles like this, is that it serves as a short list-article, linking to and from notable works of this person. Reasoning like this was discussed in another AFD about an architectural firm, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helfensteller, Hirsch & Watson, where biographical details were lacking, but consensus was that wikipedia was served by having the article. In the Walter Mickle Smith article case, there are now 6 mainspace wikipedia articles linking to here, and removing this article would impoverish each of those. It simply is sensible to include keep biographical details and a list of works in one short, central article about the person, rather than repeating that information in all the separate articles about the person's works. --doncram 12:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article (and the book) is much like presenting one of Jack Chick's tracts as a Catechism, and is about as notable as a specific tract (as opposed to "Jack Chick" in general; and the analogy holds, as there is a "Malachi Martin" article, in which this should be a bibliographic mention - not an article of its own) Edit, note: the article itself doesn't represent much of what is in the book, claiming instead that it is "church history from Martin's perspective"; this snippet view from Google books is useful to see..
