I PRODed this article last year and it has recently been refunded. My concern then and still now is that the article fails WP:BIO as I cannot find any significant coverage about the person in multiple, reliable sources.

Promotional article that fails WP:CORPDEPTH, i.e., lacking in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. Although there are many references, most of them only briefly mention the subject of this article.

List of mobile phones with HD display[edit]

Nominated for deletion before, but was kept by the influence of a response which only factored in usefulness. "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed." (nor the "Compare smartphones" page on insert favourite technology site here)

This is merely a comparison of smartphones by screen resolution with otherwise poor sourcing (most of its entries do not have proper citations). Wikipedia is not a catalog or sales directory. This is henceforth, unnecessary. Categories, such as "Smartphones with 720p displays"/"Smartphones with 1080p" displays are a preferred manner in which to organize these.

Due to the large number of devices with such displays, this article is ultimately unmaintainable. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of games with DRM and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of handhelds with Wi-Fi connectivity ViperSnake151  Talk  22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Please remember that usefulness alone is not considered a valid argument in deletion discussions, and I specifically said that the last "keep" was a result of invalid arguments that invoked only usefulness. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:32, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: You are wrong. You need to re-read the link you provided to WP:ITSUSEFUL. You are greatly inflating what it says about saying just the two words "it's useful" being an insufficient argument. It most certainly does not state that usefulness is not a valid argument, in fact it says that it is a valid argument, if explained. See below and re-read the link. Makyen (talk) 15:47, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I said "usefulness alone". i.e. usefulness with no further elaborationViperSnake151  Talk  17:03, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment:You said it in the nomination, which discounted the fact that it was explained in the previous AfD; explicitly discounting the fact that it was explained there to satisfaction of other editors. You then reiterated your argument above in response to Jusdafax who explicitly referenced the previous AfD where the usefulness argument was explained. By making that reference, Jusdafax effectively indicated agreement with the arguments in, and conclusions of, the previous AfD. As such, replying, as you did, with a reiteration of your inaccurate WP:ITSUSEFUL argument was, again, indicating that you felt a usefulness argument alone was not a valid argument to keep an article. Such belief is wrong. A usefulness argument is a valid argument, and even such an argument alone is sufficient. What WP:ITSUSEFUL says is that just saying "its useful" is not sufficient. Why it is useful must be explained. That is in bold at the link. The existence of this AfD and what you have stated in it indicates that you do not understand that. In fact, WP:SPLITLIST effectively states that a list should be created even for the sole purpose of being useful to another article if the information contained has grown to the extent that it is no longer appropriate to keep embedded in the article. Whether the FWVGA and WVGA articles have grown beyond that purpose is another discussion. Again, I suggest that you re-read WP:ITSUSEFUL. Makyen (talk) 00:47, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello, Faramarz. Please post your comments to the bottom of the page, not top.

    • OK, I'll post my upcoming comments to the bottom of discussion pages. But about this subject I'm confused! If comparison is in contrast with WP policies why WP have some comparison articles such the example that I mentioned? --Faramarz^♚♔♚ 07:18, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi. "Other stuff exists" is the kind of discussion that I absolutely hate. We do not have a policy against comparison or lists. But we do have WP:NOTDIR and WP:IINFO.

Now deletion isn't the only solution here. We keep them but remove items without an article or evidence of notability. As for the last two, there is also the option of turning them into categories. But again, the biggest problem here is that our subject of discussion is a passing trend. How much an article titled "List of mobile phones with black and white screens" have chance of not getting deleted? I'd say nothing. You'd have to accept that this article is doomed anyway. If not today, in a year or two.

Best regards,

Codename Lisa (talk) 13:08, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear to me that the lists are appropriate ones from which to remove non-notable items. From the lists context, I would leave them in. It would depend on when we reach the change point between including all items to only including the notable ones (see WP:CSC). Makyen (talk) 15:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. WP:NOTDIR has made an exception for lists that catalog Wikipedia's contents. So, while you'd leave them be, I might delete those items. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 02:54, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The nomination states that the lists should be deleted because the previous discussion only factored in usefulness and then links to WP:USEFUL. The attempt with this statement is to imply that policy states usefulness is not a reason to keep an article or list. The nominator's argument is fallacious. The link provided states that when making an argument about usefulness that saying only the two words "it's useful" is not sufficient. What is required is to state why it is useful, which the discussion in the previous AfD did do. WP:USEFUL explicitly states that "Information found in tables in particular is focused on usefulness to the reader.". In addition it states "An argument based on usefulness can be valid if put in context." The arguments in the previous AfD did put the usefulness in context, and 80% of the editors responding after that voted to keep. Thus, the primary argument for this AfD is based on the fallacy that usefulness is not a criteria for lists when, in fact, usefulness not only is a valid argument, but can be the particular focus of a list.

What I said on usefulness two months ago:

"Both lists are useful additions to the articles which reference them. They are referenced in articles that discuss mobile phone displays and/or display resolutions. While I do not know the history of List of mobile phones with HD display, the List of mobile phones with WVGA display was created because the primary article that references it, Graphics display resolution, had a list of such phones in its section on WVGA as examples of such displays. That embedded list became long as multiple editors wanted to add their favorite phone to the examples listed. Multiple attempts were made to keep the embedded list to a reasonable size, or eliminate it. Eventually, it was clear that neither method was going to work. As described in WP:SPLITLIST the list was split off into its own set index article. [The FWVGA list was created for the same reason. In retrospect, I would not actually call them set index articles, just lists.]

List of mobile phones with HD display is a high quality list that I find quite useful. I feel that it should be kept even if List of mobile phones with WVGA display is deleted.

The second thing the nomination states is that there is a problem "with otherwise poor sourcing (most of its entries do not have proper citations)". Other than an article has a fundamental lack of citations, a lower than desired number of citations is a reason to improve the article/list, not a reason to delete the list. If the original nominator had a problem with the citations, then he/she could improve them. For lists, entries in a list have a lower need for citations when the entry in the list is a link to a Wikipedia article about the item listed. Such links serve to effectively incorporate the citations in the linked article. There were a number of entries in all three lists that were not links to articles and that did not have references. All such entries in all three lists now have references. However, again, a relative lack of citations is not a criteria for deletion. It is an indicator that the list/article should be improved. In the future, if the nominator thinks that a lack of citations is a problem in an article requiring no specialized knowledge, then some time should be spent improving the article/list by finding citations. In this case, it did not take any special expertise to find references, just time and searching on Google. Deletion is not a valid alternative to spending the time to find easily obtainable references, particularly when there is no one challenging the contents of the article/list.

The nomination then quotes "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything". Explicitly, this is referring to WP:NOTDIR. That section lists six subsections. None of those subsections applies to these lists. The nomination explicitly mentions "catalog or sales directory". This implies that the original nominator was attempting to explicitly mention item "5. Sales catalogues." from WP:NOTDIR. All that subsection states is that prices should not be quoted in articles. No prices are quoted on any of the pages mentioned. Thus, it is not a sales catalog. Therefore, this argument is false.

The nomination then goes on to suggest that categorization should be used instead of having a list. If every single item that is a member of these lists had a separate Wikipedia page then having this done only as a category might be considered. However, there are a significant number of member items in these lists that do not have separate WP articles. This is not to say that they should not have such articles, merely that such articles do not exist at this time. Even if an item individually is not appropriate for a WP article of their its own that does not mean that they should not be included on a list (see WP:CSC, among others). Lists and categories are synergistic, not separate. It is ironic that three sentences after stating that one of the reasons these lists should not exist is poor references the nominator ten asserts that "Categories, ... are a preferred manner in which to organize these." Categories have no references. How the nominator can both complain that the lists "do not have proper citations" and then advocate no citations, I don't know. The positions an contradictory. It should also be noted that while the nominator suggested categories 2 and a half months ago, he/she appears to have done nothing to actually create such categories. Such cCategories would be useful. They would be synergistic with, not replace, these lists.

Finally, the nomination asserts that due to the large number of devices the lists are unmaintainable. The nomination gives no evidence as to their maintainability, or not. It does not state that there are a significant number of devices that should be on the lists that are not, or that the lists include items that should not be on the lists. The longest list is the HD one with 106 items broken into two sub lists of 54/52 items. In reality, the lists do get maintained. As is normal in WP, if an editor sees something that is missing, or inaccurate, then it gets corrected. Those editors that have the lists on their watchlist check the additions and deletions as they happen. There is no indication that the lists are unmaintainable. Even if they were not maintainable, that is not a valid argument for deletion. The nomination then gives links to two examples. The examples are not valid comparisons. Both examples were of WP:INDISCRIMINATE lists, which was a valid reason not to have the lists. The lists we are discussing in this AfD are WP:DISCRIMINATE.

Outdated: Argument has been made that the WVGA and FWVGA lists are outdated. This was a primary statement in the last AfD and it has been mentioned here. Yes, WVGA and FWVGA phones are not being introduced as regularly at this point. Phones with HD displays are getting most of the press. That does not mean that new WVGA and FWVGA are not being introduced, or, more importantly, that such phones are not still being sold in significant numbers.

The List of mobile phones with FWVGA display increased by 32% over the last year (from 25 to 33).

The List of mobile phones with WVGA display increased by only 4 phones over the last year (from 85 to 89).

It is likely that the people who are claiming the subject of the lists are outdated are biased towards the higher resolutions that their phones have, or the phone they are interested in getting has.

Even if the lists were outdated the relevance of being outdated would need to be demonstrated. I think that User:DGG said it well in the previous AfD with: "Outdated is irrelevant to notability . WP is an encyclopedia, and keeps historical information. This was of key importance a few years ago, and we should keep the record."

There are no valid reasons to delete. The lists are useful in Wikipedia in and of themselves and/or as supplementary material for other articles. I vote keep.

• Keep "Other Stuff Exists" when used as a positive argument, like here, really should be wordedThis is a standard and accepted type of article. We probably need an abbreviation for it, because it applies to many attempts to delete lists of notable things. Such lists are not indiscriminate, for they normally cover only those items which have articles in WP or qualify for them, which is as discriminating and selective as anything else in WP. As for outdated, the argument cited that I made previously applies word for word. WP is not a consumer guide to current products. DGG ( talk ) 16:54, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the future, as the nominator we automatically assume you want this article deleted, so there is no need to make a bolded "Delete" in front of your statements. Editors should only make a bolded "delete" or "keep" once in a deletion discussion.

The Mythos (card game) is a Cthulhu mythos card game. There is no mention of a Mythos: World of Wonder card game on the Chaosium page.

Article was PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Tagged for notability for 1.5 years. Although its website lists an impressive number of indexing databases, it clearly says: "We want Tamara Journal indexed and abstracted in the following services". Indeed, there is no evidence that the journal is actually indexed in any selective databases. There are no third party sources either. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals." DePRODded by SPA editor with edit summary: "DOAJ added". DOAJ is not a selective database and, indeed, mention of it is usually removed from articles. EBSCO databases are not selective either. The other reference in the article ("Academic Journal Quality Guide") comes from the "Association of Business Schools" and does indeed list this journal, but it seems to list almost any journal in this field and is obviously not a selective listing (and on top of that, Tamara gets pretty low ratings on this list). Therefore, PROD reason still stands. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 17:18, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Although WP:NJournals is an essay it does reiterate that "articles on academic journals are required to be notable; that is significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice" which holds as one of the pillars of Wikipedia. This Journal does not shine as something that is notable. It is not of unusual quality or having a lasting impression. Other then "it exists" there is no other WP:RS for passing WP:N - Pmedema (talk) 20:30, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Opinion - As a person with a COI I just want to point out that ABS list is by no means listing "any journal in this field" - it only lists journals notable according to ABS. I can name a good number of relatively recognized journals not listed there. The point about EBSCO not being selective is also not entirely true (although probably truer, since ABS is a ranking of notable journals, while EBSCO is a commercial database). EBSCO definitely is selective and it is not entirely easy to get any journal there, since they want to include only those of academic journals that can increase, rather than decrease the value of EBSCO subscription.

• Delete I do not consider Ebsco sufficiently selective to use as a criterion. They will include essentially any regularly published journal that they can, because one of their major selling points is the number of titles included--nobody uses it because of quality, because too many of the quality sources in it have time restrictions. I do consider the ABS list as a relevant factor--but not just mere inclusion in the list. Of the 5 possible classifications in that list, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 4*, this journal is rated in category 1, the very lowest. DGG ( talk ) 04:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect - Redirecting is standard for merged articles, this article has a complex history, with multiple authors, so the history needs to be retained for attribution. Per WP:MERGE: "Merging—regardless of the amount of information kept—should always leave a redirect (or, in some cases, a disambiguation page) in place. This is often needed to allow proper attribution through the edit history for the source page. Superfluous redirects do not harm anything, and they can be helpful in finding articles, e.g. from alternative names." 93.107.25.31 (talk) 14:04, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, The Filianic Faith is a small, minority Faith that began in the 1970's at Oxford, England. We have only been online for about four or five years. We do have resources and three of the groups have a validly ordained clergy. Though we are fairly new, we are a growing movement. If we do not meet your criteria, we apologize. Rev. Pamela Lanides, the Order of the House of Kyria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.83.114 (talk) 14:51, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The basic issue here is the lack of outside recognition— not of legitimacy, but that the movement exists and is described by outside sources. If the only real citable source is the religion's website, then it's impossible to write an article which meets minimal standards of objectivity; nor are our most minimal standards of notability met. If you can supply such sources then the article might be retained, but I must add that for instance local news stories saying that the group purchased property or held a festival would not be considered sufficiently strong. I would also like to thank you in advance for being understanding about these matters, it being a welcome change from the usual demands for inclusion. Mangoe (talk) 16:38, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, religions are by their very nature highly subjective. Does that mean Christian theologians cannot write about Christianity in Wikipedia? 184.76.8.41 (talk) 17:54, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• delete, delete, delete, delete, delete There seems to be no incorporated church or religious organization associated with this anywhere, and aside from being a pure internet phenomenon there is no legitimate church/congregation/place of worship. Although Wikipedia isn't the Internal Revenue Service, it helps to use the IRS test here to measure the legitimacy of "Filianism." Do people exclusively identify as "Filyani" and practice the said religion in exclusion of others? Does a church of "Filianism" regularly meet for worship at a publicized location, open to public? If so I see no evidence of either criterion. Another relevant metric is the "sincerity test" used by the United States Bureau of Prisons. I looked through the linked websites, I simply fail to see them meet any level of sincerity. In fact they are such mish-mash of Catholicism, Neo-Paganism, Russian Orthodoxy, and Hinduism, they could as well be Universal Life Church or Unitarian Universalists (and I won't be surprised if the majority of "Filyani" are in fact members of UUA or hold "ordination" from ULC). 184.76.8.41 (talk) 17:50, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we identify (strongly) as being either Filianic or Deanic and we home-church. We are hoping to have our first on the ground parish by the spring. I had planned on doing so during the past year, but cancer prevented me. However, the House of Kyria is a religious ORDER and in being a religious ORDER, there is no need for formal incorporation at this time. Also important to note: our clergy are validly ordained PRIESTS not ministers. We meet the requirements for a recognized valid religion. We have a liturgy (not published on the internet), a creed, scriptures, a catechism, our own prayers, sacraments and so forth. We strongly support home worship or 'home-church' as we are spread across the country and in some cases, England and so having a home altar is most practical at this point in time. The IRS addresses the issue of sincerity here:http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicc80.pdf (scroll down). Btw, Wicca is a validly recognized religion and yet, there is no church building where worshipers meet. As far as being a 'mish-mash' is concerned, just about every religion out there, contains elements of religions which preceded them and that includes Christianity and most certainly, Wicca. We have nothing to do with Russian Orthodoxy or Neo-Paganism nor are we Catholic. Our Mythos actually precedes Christianity, but we use what we refer to as 'living stream images and devotions'. We are validly ordained through the Independent Bishop's Movement as priests(we are not ULC ministers) although Filianism is not a Christian religion. . There are other Divine Mother God movements both within Christianity and Judaism (Goddess Christianity, Goddess Judaism, Gnostic Christianity) and in the past, the little known Collyridians, but this is neither the place nor the time for such explanations. All of this is besides the point, however. The issue here is not whether we are a valid religion, but the issue is one of notability. Inflammatory remarks against our Faith are certainly not necessary. The person who took it upon himself to write our wiki article is actually not a member of our religion, but we were grateful for his efforts. Perhaps, it is simply too early in our movement for a wiki page at this time. Thank you for your time and in considering us. Our Church Council will respectfully accept your decision. Rev. Pamela Lanides — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.83.114 (talk) 19:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC) I am a member, and I believe it to the exclusion of all other religions.

List of false friends[edit]

A similar, but not identical, article under this title was deleted back in 2007. There are several problems with the article. One is its scope. With 6,000 languages on the planet, there are a huge number of possible false friends among them. Even narrowing this down to English versus other languages would produce a large and excessive article which would violate WP:NOT. A further problem is that the idea of which words are false friends often comes down to point of view. Is it really likely that in the right context an English speaker encountering a Spanish text wouldn't know that web refers to the internet rather than something made by a spider? The article itself doesn't cite any sources, leaving it a potential minefield for original research. Sources themselves usually don't agree on which words are false friends. That leaves us ultimately with an incomplete POV list, which due to its nature, can never be expanded into a suitable article. Valenciano (talk) 10:18, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, reluctantly. It looks to be appropriating single sources' work in creating the lists, which is too close to copyvio to be comfortable.

There are some refs. For instance here is the ref given for the entire French section. But, the French section looks to include all the entries listed there. I'm pretty sure that that's a copyright violation, and even it technicaly not its piggybacking on someone else's work too much for my taste. It's a tough question because if the editor had just taken some of the entries, that'd be just his opinion (original research if you will). We have to walk the line between copyright vio and OR, and articles like this are hard to do right.

Lack of references is not as big a problem for this particular article. The point of refs is so that the reader can check our statements. For word definitions, that's fairly easy provided you have the right dictionary. When the article states that the Hungarian word "novella" means "short story", a person can look that up even if we don't provide a reference. That an English speaker might take "novella" to mean "novel" is sort of common sense; any ref would probably just be anecdotal anyway.

That fact that's incomplete doesn't bother me. In fact it's too long. Too long to manage, and many of the entries don't belong IMO for various reasons I won't go into. Some of it's not in English, for instance the note under "Billion" in the Hungarian section says "amerikai és modern brit angol", which leads me to believe that that was just copied from some source.

Somebody put a fair amount of work into this, even it was just reformatting existing material. It's not without value, although I'd prefer a different format and a much shorter article containing just those words that have been noted in more than one source, rather than just copied lists from a single source. You hate to throw this work away. But, for articles such as Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time we don't provide the list, because that would be misappropriation of Rolling Stone's intellectual work in making the list. Same deal here. Too close to a copyvio to even transwiki, maybe. Herostratus (talk) 15:37, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it' not that kind of copyvio. The list itself is the copyvio.

Take an article like Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The names of the songs aren't copywritable, or they are they're fair use, which is why can have an article such as List of songs by Katy Perry which lists song titles. We can do that because the Perry article is a purely mechanical list that requires no significant intellectual work, just a matter of looking up which songs she's recorded. But for the Rolling Stone article, some people at Rolling Stone had to do real intellectual work to come up with that list and decide what makes a "great song" and so forth. So our article just describes the Rolling Stone article (and massages the data on the in certain ways, which is our own work) and doesn't include the actual list. It'd be stealing their work, and copyright forbids that.

Same deal here, at least for the French section (and probably some or all of the others). The words themselves are not copyrighted of course, but the list itself is. Herostratus (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to finish this nomination in the slim chance that it is declined, as I also believe that the product/corporation fails notability guidelines.

• I'm cool with a redirect, although I'd lobby for a deletion of the history since I'm somewhat concerned that the original editor would return to un-redirect the article if the history remained. That they attempted to have this re-added in October, about two to three months after the previous deletion, shows that they would have a somewhat high chance of returning to re-create the article in some form or fashion. There's no way to really stop them since a complete salting would be overkill at this point, but deleting the history would somewhat discourage re-creation.

Non-notable hockey player, fails of all criteria of WP:NHOCKEY; played just a handful of games outside the low minors. Such sources as are in the article are primary and don't discuss the subject in the "significant detail" the GNG requires. Reliable sources which both satisfy the GNG and don't run afoul of WP:GEOSCOPE or WP:ROUTINE -- especially when obscured by a rather more famous hockey player of the same name -- aren't forthcoming. Very little improvement done over four years. Article was prodded, but prod was removed by the article creator without comment. Ravenswing 05:09, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Actually, the reasons for PROD removal are found on the talk page saying: “Player has played over 100 games in the minors and also coached an additional 100 games in the Federal League”. Dolovis (talk) 20:35, 11 December 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Reply: Ah, fair enough. Of course, playing 100+ games (or coaching in) in bottom rung semi-pro leagues forms no part of notability criteria. Ravenswing 00:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – meets WP:NHOCKEY for having played 100+ games in fully professional minor leagues, and for having coached another 100+ games in the professional minor leagues. The subject also passes GNG, with significant and independent sources to be found including [2] [3][4][5][6] despite the fact that google searches are obscured by his more famous namesake. Dolovis (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply: Each and every one of those sources come from the local small city paper's website, which by definition would not satisfy the GNG, even if they didn't violate WP:ROUTINE and WP:GEOSCOPE, which they do. Furthermore, as you well know, the NHOCKEY criterion governing playing or coaching 100+ games apply solely to fully professional leagues, such as the AHL or ECHL ... not the bottom rung semi-pro loops in which Esposito had his brief playing career and in which he coaches. If you disagree with the scope of NHOCKEY's criteria, the proper response is to seek consensus for your POV on WP:NSPORTS' talk page. As it happens, you've sought to do so several times, and failed to do so. It's high time you accepted consensus, lacking any shift in it to your own POV. Ravenswing 07:10, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete He didn't play (or coach) 100+ games in one of the upper tier minor leagues as is required. The links Dolovis points to fail WP:ROUTINE and WP:GEOSCOPE as mentioned by Ravenswing.

While the text describes the subject as an actress and a singer, the subject fails "notability" standards as both. There are no sources that support either claim. There are no sources that support the proposition that the subject is "notable" in those fields. There is coverage of some spat concerning her time as a Harvard student, but is only sourced to the Harvard Crimson. Therefore, this dispute is not notable in itself, or in the alternate, makes this article a case of WP:BLP1E, both of which are grounds for deletion. Hector the Toad (talk) 03:19, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I'm declining the speedy since I don't see enough proof to show that this is really the same user. A SPI can be opened, which would give more definitive proof. I'm also declining it since there is a valid argument for a lack of notability even if this is a sock or not, or even a bad faith nomination or not.

There has been some issue in other AfDs with people writing uncivil comments aimed towards User:MaxBrowne and other editors, so I would like to nicely ask that anyone coming in please try to phrase things in a way that doesn't come across as a little rude towards other editors. This wasn't an over the top comment or the worst thing I've ever seen written about another editor but given all of what has been going on, I'd like for everyone to exercise a bit more caution and diplomacy in this particular AfD. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Now that the sockpuppet is confirmed I feel free to comment.

1. The nomination was made in bad faith by a vindictive banned user who specifically targets me and articles I have created. That doesn't make it a keep of course, but I do wish admins would stop playing into his hands. Three times this week this person has targeted articles I have created or had a major hand in. Three times admins have acquiesced. Banned users should not be given the time of day.
2. I created this article a few years ago when wikipedia was a bit more free and easy and policies were less stringently enforced. I'm a huge fan of The Wire so I thought this article would be of interest.
3. There's already plenty of stuff about The Wire on wikipedia and people can probably find info about Wendy Grantham elsewhere if they're interested.
4. Thank you Tokyogirl79 for trying to bring this article up to standard.
5. I have to admit that apart from The Wire she hasn't had any prominent acting roles. As for her singing, most of it has just been low key stuff in clubs, weddings etc around Philadelphia. Her stoush with the professor at Harvard is kind of interesting but there really isn't enough material to justify an article.
6. At the end of the day I don't really care about this article all that much.
7. She sure was good in The Wire though.

• Delete or merge into Star-nosed mole. It is undue weight to devote a page just to a single organ of this single species, although it would be quite appropriate to go into detail about it on the page about the species. It seems that most of the source material comes from primary sources from a single author, and so we do not have the WP:GNG requirement that there be demonstrated interest from multiple sources over a period of time. --Tryptofish (talk) 15:21, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Selective merge into Star-nosed mole. The topic is certainly notable (see this GS search, which finds several non-Catania articles), and there is a lot of good stuff in this article. However, given the very serious article problems, it's best to pare this article back considerably, and the result would fit best (at least for now) as part of Star-nosed mole. -- 101.119.15.226 (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Smerge as suggested. Much of the information is encyclopedic, and there are good sources. Bearian (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a follow-up comment, the "smerge" would be fine with me, as I previously indicated, but I want to speak to the arguments that the topic is notable. There is sourcing, and the content, if properly written, is encyclopedic, but the case is very weak that there is such a preponderance of sourcing separate from the animal species that there would be justification for a standalone page, separate from our page about the species. It's like having a page about the Mouse tail: there certainly is information about that organ, but there is no reason to have a separate page about it. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:39, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I think the consensus is to smerge in this case; but certainly if we had enough good material, the organ could be spun out as a separate article again. -- 101.119.14.242 (talk) 04:32, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think this one will become notable in short time, but as of now there doesn't seem enough out there to pass GNG. --— Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:23, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as not passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as as WP:VG/RS. The two reliable sources in the article are good, but their subject is not the company, rather their game and their platform. I see many passing mentions of the company, mostly in context of their games, but nothing that covers the company itself. P.S. Their games might actually be notable (although it doesn't seem we have their articles), although this doesn't matter much as notability is not inherited. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:25, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I share Bearcat's concern about the nature of some of the opposition, but it does seem clear there is insufficient notability DGG ( talk ) 04:10, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to have been a bit of a vandal issue here, with at least two different usernames over the past two years replacing large chunks of the article with metacommentary about how "Wikipedia is not for self-promotion" — but despite using an improper process, the vandals do have a valid point about how the article comes across. It is a likely WP:COI violation, as the creator's username was User:JWWebsites, and it contains virtually no real reliable sources and makes no particularly strong claim of notability.

• Delete as a non-notable topic that violates WP:CRYSTAL. I did not find any reliable sources about this film. It looks like IMDb has a page here, but IMDb is highly questionable when it comes to future films. Even if we verified that plans for a sequel were announced, we would not have a stand-alone article because plans do not translate into an actual film. We would just report the news in a "Sequel" section at Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising. @VMS Mosaic: Is this topic verified by any reliable sources?

A list of indiscriminate, non-notable information, pure listcruft JMHamo (talk) 00:30, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Fellows of the Royal Society are automatically notable - it's the most significant honour awarded by Britain's most important and significant scientific society. Fellowship is generally only conferred to those who will meet our existing notability criteria, as they only award fellowships to those with a significant body of nationally and internationally important work, so multiple peer reviewed publications in major journals, Nature and the like. I believe all British Nobel prize winners were either existing fellows, or awarded a fellowship after winning. I'd note that List_of_Fellows_of_the_Royal_Society already exists and deletion will have to determine not the notability issue, but whether we wish to present the fellowships on a year by year basis. Nick (talk) 00:55, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Articles such as List of Fellows of the Royal Society A,B,C exist already, where you can sort by year. I guess the question is should winners listed by year have their own article, like List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 1965, List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 1964, List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 1963, List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 1962 and so on...

• Keep. Neither indiscriminate nor non-notable. There is no other single article on Wikipedia which provides the same information, and the topic is indisputably notable. Pburka (talk) 04:53, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Yes, FRSs are notable, but we already list them. This is the only one by year. If this is kept, we could have another 350 created. No, this is just list-cruft. --Bduke (Discussion) 05:52, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The other lists [7] only shows part of the list by alphabetical order. You can search by year, but only for those whose names begin wit A-C, and so on. List could be made perhaps to combine information from the year articles, so people could sort by year. I see nothing wrong with just having an article for each year, there enough valid information to put in it, and perhaps a dynamic list be made which gave you not just their name, but also a brief mention of why they are notable. That'd be useful. Dream Focus 08:25, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I am working through these, but they'll take a few months to sort out. This is infinitely better than the existing list because the existing lists at List_of_Fellows_of_the_Royal_Society_A,B,C requires extensive curation and are out of date already. Every year it requires someone to take the names of the latest fellows, and insert them alphabetically in the new list. This hasn't happened for 2012 or 2013. Furthermore, there are details of birth/death that are included as well. By this method every sublist is WP:COMPLETE and will not need updating in the future, and the next list for 2014 is easily made when it's covered by news sources. We also need this list to go through and complete biographical stubs for all of the remaining fellows. Barney the barney barney (talk) 09:42, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• You should use your sandbox, while you're working on articles. This still looks like pure listcruft to me, no prose, references or categories in many of the articles, e.g. List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 1963 JMHamo (talk) 15:10, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • 17 of those links are blue. It is thus a valid list article. Dream Focus 15:33, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is it valid when it's unreferenced, as many of them are? JMHamo (talk) 15:41, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • So just add a link to their official list, and its fine. [8] And the blue linked names have that information in those articles already. Dream Focus 17:26, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. In addition to nominating the page for deletion, User:JMHamo added a prose tag to it, suggesting that it could better be presented as prose. This suggestion makes no sense to me, as the article is a list (it says so in the title!). Can the nominator explain how he or she imagines the article could be improved by replacing the list with prose? Pburka (talk) 18:27, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Fair point, my bad, I have removed the tag. JMHamo (talk) 18:33, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The creator makes a fair point. There is value in having lists of fellows alphabetically, but the Royal Society is exceptional in being established in 1660 and having had a great many fellows in consequence. The fellows are notable regardless of whether they currently have an article. Some sort of chronological ordering is desirable. Whether it should be by having a single article for each year or, say, by decade is an editorial matter and not for AfD. Deleting this article would deny a solution. Being a work in progress is not a bar. --AJHingston (talk) 19:24, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. FRSs are notable and list by year is instructive. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:29, 13 December 2013 (UTC).[reply]
• Keep - WP:Listcruft is about indiscriminate and trivial. I think a valid argument has been made against trivial due to the notability of the subject and I find the list far from indiscriminate as to make it on the list you must have been not only a Fellow of the Royal Society but also elected in a specific year. It's clearly a certifiable group. Mkdw^talk 06:01, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
