Bear with me. First of all, this is a non-notable book: there is no discussion I can find of the book itself in reliable sources. Second, I can't find a likely redirect. The book's author is Albert Mudrian, whose article (as you can see) is a redirect to the magazine he edits, Decibel (magazine). Now, there was an AfD on Mudrian, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Albert Mudrian, which was closed as "redirect to the magazine"--I don't know why Julian redirected it to this book he authored; something may have happened along the way. Either way, to redirect this title to the magazine, with Mudrian as a kind of intermediary, strikes me as redundant, so I'm proposing deletion. If you all think that the article views (there are some, to be fair) warrant a continued existence as a redirect, that's fine with me--if you wish to propose that, perhaps you are not unwilling to add a couple of lines to the Decibel article about this author and the two books he wrote/edited (the other being the non-notable Precious Metal (book), which I've just redirected to Decibel, a good target since it's based on features in that magazine).

Here we have a hopelessly incomplete list, one which can't possibly ever approach even a semblance of completion. Size concerns aside (Russia alone, for example, has thousands upon thousands of rural localities with a population of fewer than ten people; surely other countries in a similar situation exist), the threshold itself (ten people) is completely arbitrary, as witnessed by comments on the talk page. The few sources used in the list merely reference individual entries, but in no way assert the encyclopedic value of the list as a whole. Other concerns include WP:NOT (in particular, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information") and notability. Not even the definition of a "place" is given.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 11, 2013; 14:40 (UTC)

The result was keep. (Considering the lengthy delete !vote by 71.236.220.239 as an extended nom. rationale); The nom. doesn't seem based in policy; not only doesn't it mention any, but I find no existing policy that would explicitly support the argument. However no policy is brought forth in the other two !votes... Considering that, and the particular circumstances of this AfD, I'm reluctant to close as an actual keep; this is not a standard "No consensus" that would result from highly-divided arguments, but I find no policy-based arguments to delete. I'm reluctant to close as keep for the same reasons, but will default to it; the keep !vote seems closer to the general notability policies currently in place. NPASR.

Completing nomination per WP:AGF for IP editor 71.236.220.239, who posted a request at WT:AFD. Looking at the article, I note that there are some reliable-looking sources already in place. Whether those sources show notability is something to discuss here, but it's worth noting. I also cannot find evidence that someone spamming links to their wiki article from LinkedIn is a violation of our policies, nor does it appear to be a cause for deletion - obviously, the reverse would be a different story. Some more detail about how this article is being used for promotion would be worthwhile, and I've asked the IP to provide that. On the merits, I make no recommendation.

I don't have an account, so I can't do it, but I think it fails the notability test and he is using the article to promote himself in the spam he sends from LinkedIn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.220.239 (talk) 06:16, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The term "analytical linguistics" has been applied to any number of different pursuits within the field of linguistics. Sova's work may or may not be seminal in this field: the current article gives no indications either way. In either case, Sova's work can be described in the article about her. Having an entire article with the title "Analytical Linguistics" dedicated solely to her theory gives the incorrect impression that hers is the only theory. Rewriting the article to include all senses of the term would be impractical given the wide range of different pursuits that have been termed "analytical linguistics".

The result was keep. A lot of the keep arguments provide sources that indicate the subject passes the letter of WP:GNG. A few opposes claim "non-notable" without rationale. The other explains the sources' perceived lack of reliability or independence; previous consensus backs the reliability of the sources, and it is kind of expected that sources covering a similar topic to the subject's field are the ones used; musicians are discussed primarily in music-interested publications, and so on.

  • The problem is that he has a false impression of what the subject in question actually does and is basing his deletion recommendation on something which is not true. Note that he claims "The subject is someone who makes Youtube videos of himself talking while other people play video games.". This is absolutely not the case. The subjects content clearly consists of review, critique and analysis which involves the subject speaking and providing his opinion of the title which he is playing. Regular news and comment content would appear to be present on the subjects Youtube channel on a daily basis and as regards to eSports related commentary, that is clearly recognized on Wikipedia regardless of BoneevoCharard opinion on the subject, which should not be up for discussion in this instance. The fact remains that the blogs you have mentioned have their own Wikipedia articles yet are less notable than the subject in question. Other Youtubers, also less notable than the subject in question have their own articles, it makes no actual sense to remove this one especially when the strongest supporters for the removal seem to not even know what the subject does to begin with due to their own personal ignorance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esten12 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to misunderstand what I've typed. I'm not arguing your rationale for the need for reliable sources. I'm not arguing with you at all. I don't even "want" to keep this article. I'm stating a fact that he passes the threshold of being notable and his biography deserves to be on Wikipedia. That means it's worth someone who is an active editor making the effort to look for reliable sources that almost certainly exist. That is also to say that I have no stake in keeping this article, so I don't care what the end result is. I'm not a very active editor any longer in the first place. And I am not going to go through the effort to find it myself. But anyone who discovers this page will know precisely what to do rather than going through the Brobdingnagian task of trying to understand Wikipedia policies or find themselves arguing with you when they don't have to. --Bastique ☎ call me! 04:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term exists, and the article was recently improved significantly but it clearly has too many issues of original research. It belongs in wikitionary at best.

It does appear that the term has multiple usages, one that is primary the Tank Crew mention, and the other that is a term for members of the CPGB.

Keep WP:CCC + the formatting here is different and tackles the issue in the last one that it was messy. It is now more easily organised.

Merge to 2013 in sports per above comment. Frankly, I don't see what the point of this page is, and, seeing as "2013 in sports" should cover all of this, it's very redundant, though I am happy to see that curling as a sport was covered. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 05:14, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Its more comprehensive that that. How about proposal merging that INTO this? Title is better and format.Lihaas (talk) 05:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't it make more sense to merge a smaller article into a larger one? Besides, you can make edits on the 2013 in sports article to add comprehensiveness, including adding what you've done here. Format is a nonessential issue in that sense. I feel that the "2013 in sports" is simple and adequate. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 02:07, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But the title here is better and more consistent (a la the election calendar). The scope of the other article is much too broad to include non-professional sports as well. You know how big that page can get for domestic and sub-domestic titles? That is liable to be incomplete forever.Lihaas (talk) 22:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have recently made some additional edits to the Daryl Dixon (economic writer) page. I agree with Paul foord in that there is still a fair bit to update given the quantum of references and sources to Daryl Dixon. For starters I found 65 articles written by Daryl Dixon in the AFR Smart Investor magazine http://www.afrsmartinvestor.com, how would you suggest referencing these? Also he writes for the Canberra Times weekly however there are only 30 articles available on the net. Pete441 (talk) 15:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article about an album track fails WP:GNG as it has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. An analysis of the 10 sources proves this:

Little Notability on its own as an underground newspaper that ran for 3 years.

Should be deleted and redirected to Thorne Webb Dreyer which already has a large subsection for Space City. Does add notability to Thorne Webb Dreyer as one of his many projects. PeterWesco (talk) 19:24, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of songs about cities[edit]

Far too loose a criterion for inclusion. People sing about towns all the time. Also, a song can have a city in the title but not really be about it (for instance, "Dallas" by Alan Jackson is actually about a woman named Dallas, and only mentions the town in passing). Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:35, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS. As a list, this is no more notable than Lists of songs with personal names. I can't see how WP:NLIST can be used to support a keep as it uses the words "discussed as a group." I can't find where songs about cities has been discussed... published perhaps, but that is not discussion but a very clever publisher pitching to the shallower end of the reading public. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:23, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The whole thing belongs someplace else, not WP. An encyclopedia is supposed to be about facts, not musings on connections between one thing and another. Which is fun and perhaps productive but not "encyclopedic." (Is that word even used outside of WP?) You might as well have a list of "Sad songs" or "Rebellious songs" or whatever you want. Borock (talk) 22:07, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm making this a "delete" recommendation because the improvements to this article during the AfD have not addressed my concern that most of the songs are not cited to reliable sources which state that the song is indeed about the city. For example, "The Heart of Rock & Roll" is listed as being a song about Cleveland, when in fact the song mentions 14 different cities, of which Cleveland is the 13th. Maybe there should be an article titled Songs about cities which could be based on this article's lead section, but this list is too uncited to keep. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:34, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's a source which explicitly discusses the association of songs with cities and gives "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" as an example. It took me all of 30 seconds to find this example and so you are certainly wrong in suggesting that reliable sources do not exist. You just haven't looked, have you? Warden (talk) 19:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I have looked and I haven't seen any approaching encyclopedic. The Songwriter's Ideas Book, which you linked, says "a city, a state, a foreign place" in your song title is a good idea, and you synthesise this to mean that Lists of songs about cities is OK? This is your validation of notable? This is the discussion WP:NLIST requires? You are joking, aren't you? What exactly does A Foggy Day (In London Town) and London Calling have in common other than they contain the same place name? What about List of ideas for good song titles. Oops. I've spilt the beans. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your personal opinion of particular cases is irrelevant. If professional authors and publishers have made this connection then we're good. See WP:UNENCYC. Warden (talk) 23:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not personal opinion and to claim so when I have stated which policies and guidelines support is disparagement and offensive. I have quoted WP Policy and Guidelines, including precedent. The songwriters book would also say use a name in your title, but Lists of songs with personal names has already been deleted as non-notable and equates precisely with this list. WP:LISTN does NOT say published, it says "discussed as group or set." These are the reasons you say "keep." Nobody has managed to answer my short but pertinent question, " At what point does mentioning a place name in a song become validation for an encyclopedic list?" - maybe I can think it through and change my view and support changes in policy, guidelines and precedent. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Lists of songs with personal names is a stale example because it's six years old. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs about bicycles for a more recent example which resulted in Keep. Warden (talk) 13:27, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The bicycles list was kept because the introduction of bicycles had a social importance reflected in the songs of the period. Not relevant for this discussion. List of songs about Rainbows (more current than bikes, even) and List of songs with personal names: A are much more appropriate. --Richhoncho (talk) 15:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Links? Very few blue links to songs in the Melbourne list (quite a few to places in Melbourne and no guarantees that we are not referring to some other Melbourne, physical or otherwise), which makes it an editorial catatrophe. At what point does mentioning a place name in a song become validation for an encyclopedic list? It's trivia, pure and simple, and no editor has even come close to proving otherwise. Can you do better? --Richhoncho (talk) 20:39, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is surprising. Anyway, we're talking about this list now. There are blue links to actual songs, notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles, in this list, plus a link to 28 other similar list in it. Aids in navigation, so meets the requirements for a list article. See WP:LIST. Dream Focus 20:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I ask again, "At what point does mentioning a place name in a song become validation for an encyclopedic list? Not quite playing the game if you mention the Melbourne list as a validation for this article and then say "anyway, we're are talking about this list now." --Richhoncho (talk) 21:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant links to other Wikipedia articles, makes the list useful. There are thousands of list articles like this one, always have been, and always will be. And the same arguments usually happen in these things. A bunch of people say "I don't like it", Warden finds some book references showing its a notable topic, and it ends in keep. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United states presidents with facial hair during their tenure for a stunning example of that happening. Dream Focus 23:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, neither you nor Warden have been able to go beyond WP:LIST which says there has to be a discussion and when that fails you say "navigation," so for a third time, I ask you, "At what point does mentioning a place name in a song become validation for an encyclopedic list?" No more ducking and diving, other stuff exists and I cannot see the relevance of beards - shaved or otherwise.--Richhoncho (talk) 23:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FORUMSHOP, or less politely, WP:CANVASSING has been going on. User:Colonel Warden, posted a keep message here on 14:59, 27 December 2012 (UTC), he then posted a notice at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron - Rescue list on 19:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC) and at 20:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC) (i.e. within 20 minutes, User:Dream Focus had posted a keep notice too. If this was a one-off I could let it pass, but it is not, as can been seen by Editor Interaction Analyzer.[reply]

I note that the code of coduct at the Rescue List states, The project is not about casting !votes, nor about vote-stacking. (my bold). This is patently not so, as neither contributor has made any improvement to the article whatsover, but have merely voted and encouraged others who think similarly to come and cast a !vote.

Please note I have seen this on a couple of other AfDs, and including other overt members of the task force. I have no problem with people wanting to improve and save articles, there is a benefit to WP to do that, but to let it knowingly be used for other purposes and save articles without improvement defeats the whole objective of the rescue squadron.

Now I am aware of this going on I shall be watching.--Richhoncho (talk) 13:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Its just like any other Wikiproject, anyone allowed to add it to the AFD list. Its also on the Wikiproject lists for list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions and list of Lists-related deletion discussions. It is not unusual for people who frequent these list to be seen participating in the same AFDs. Please discuss this elsewhere and don't start a massively long debate here, we having plenty of those already elsewhere you can read through. Dream Focus 15:38, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If the analyser had said only music or list-related articles then you would have a point, it doesn't so not much more to said - whoever closes this should take note. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I checked the list and on the first two items Tenpound and I had opposing views. We show up together on music-related discussions only, whereas you and Dream Focus show up together at anything listed at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron - Rescue list which is why I accuse you and Dream Focus of WP:FORUMSHOP. Although Tenpound and I generally share the same opinion about random lists based around a single word/words and have exchanged comments regarding their futility, we have kept to the spirit of WP and never conspired in an AfD. Now go and read and adhere to the guidelines you have signed up for at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron - Rescue list. Thankyou. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:27, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As the Colonel suggests, there are abundant sources covering songs about cities as a group. Dozens of such sources are cited in the excellent Decline, Renewal and the City in Popular Music Culture by Sara Cohen. I concede the point that its challenging to make this list fully comprehensive and exact, but due to the topic's massive notability, it would be unencyclopedic not to have an entry. The rescue squad have improved the lede so it flags to the reader that the list may not be entirely complete.
Those who have contributed to the article, or to defending it in this discussion, are to be congratulated. A most useful resource for academics, music pros and the general public. FeydHuxtable (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
