Delete - This item indicates they have 500 offices and $1.55 billion in revenue. Looking for significant coverage in reliable sources, I thought I found some but they appear to be advertorials. These two items from the Lakeland Ledger are marked with a byline of "Joan Martin, Ledger Advertising", and this item from the Albany Herald appears in an advertising supplement.

Arya (tribe)[edit]

Support: None of the references cited supports the claim made in the article. The first reference, Fortson (p209) says: "...Indic is also called Indo-Aryan. The word 'Aryan' has had a rather complicated history. The Sanskrit word ārya-, the source of the English word, was the self designation of the Vedic Indic people and has a cognate in Iranian *arya- where it is also a self designation. Both the Indic and Iranian terms descend from a form [...] that was used by the Indo-Iranian tribes to refer to themselves." This makes no mention of a tribe named "Arya", rather that the people who called themselves Arya were not just the "Vedic Indic people" but the superset of Indo-Iranians, both of which are linguistic groups of many tribes, not just one. The different tribes of the "Vedic Indic people" are given in List of Rigvedic tribes. The article deserves to be deleted, as it is based purely on original research.

The main discussion is here - the talk page is only for discussion of things such as process questions that do not have have a direct bearing on whether the article is kept or deleted - so I'll copy the relevant comments immediately below. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kashmiri you rather see the references in article, importantly citation two i.e Shendge, Malati Janardan (1996).The Aryas: Facts Without Fancy and Fiction. ISBN 8170173183. This book is completely on Arya people. And regarding reading your comment again, words says that problem is not as much with article content but my concept of Arya people. I like to know from you what is so called concept, if content is not as problematic, what is justification of deletion, how subject is hoax when a book is dedicated to it. As Bridger said after removing speedy deletion template, if it proved duplication, as claimed by Chaipau, it can be redirected not deleted. Why Iranians will use Sanskrit word as self designation. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 10:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I do believe that the above list of books is a result of a quick research on books.google.com. I do not think BB actually read those books, because he could not have made the mistake of believing Arya was a tribe if he had read the texts of his own references, as I have quoted above. I have read the section on the self-designation of the "Aryas" in Shendge's book, and the author pretty much ascribes that to the Indo-Iranians. It also turns out that people have reconstructed the root of the word in proto-Indo-European ([1]), where it is possibly a loan word with Ugaritic origins ([2], footnote 4) Chaipau (talk) 12:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no doubt that there are and have been people in this region who describe themselves as Aryan. What we lack evidence for is that there was a specific tribe with this name in Vedic times. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:57, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And, in reply to Bhagawati's invocation of my name, I said "... if it is a duplication [it] would be a valid redirect." This article is not a duplication, but simply an article about an unverifiable topic, so the "would be a valid redirect" part of the comment doesn't kick in. "If" might be a small word but it is very important. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:06, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- per precedent. A few montha ago, we did a wholesale deletion of bus route articles. They inevitably require regular maintenance, which we cannot guarantee. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The wholesale deletion was of bus route lists. Articles about specific routes are subject to the general notability guideline. Articles of this type probably require less maintenance than most articles - they are rarely vandalised, and are intended to provide encyclopedic coverage, not current travel information.

Delete as per precedent. Maybe an alternate option is to move it to Wikivoyage? -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:47, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's unsuitable for Wikivoyage, as it's an encyclopedia article, not an itinerary, and the topic is a bus route, not a destination. Peter James (talk) 12:23, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as notability has not been established, and the main editor has been inactive here since 2011.

Rhetorical questions do not make for a sound deletion rationale (if deletion is actually what you're asking for, instead of just expressing how you don't understand why this list exists). We have 250 articles in Category:Lists of songs by recording artists, and AFDs have gone both ways, so there is clearly no rule or consensus against having any such list. So please explain why this band should or shouldn't have one, or this AFD should be speedy closed for failure to advance a deletion argument. postdlf (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep I admit bias as I'm the creator of this page. There are many other lists of songs on Wikipedia and I felt like Kreator warrented their own list. Per WP:LISTV the list has to have some usefulness, which this list does. Someone might know the title of a song, but don't know what album it was from and thus would go to this list to determine that information. The list of songs was too long to be placed in the main article, which is one of the reasons cited that a list is listcruft and also a reason why many cite that there should be a separate list. Also note that this has been discussed before. Pinkkeith (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment only. This is merely a laundry list of songs recorded by an artist. It contains no further information other than the album the song appears on. Lists of songs by artist, writer, production etc are welcome, but there has to be purpose. I recommend that Pinkkeith checks out some of the featured lists and sees how this list can be improved. I shall sit on the fence, but can be persuaded to go to keep with some additional work. --Richhoncho (talk) 13:38, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think this fails the purposes of a list. In the category Category:Kreator songs there are only two songs (ignoring the redirects), so this is essentially a list of two notable items. If they had dozens and dozens of notable songs (IE they had articles for them), then this would pass the notability for having a stand-alone list (Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia.). Fancruft at the moment and unlikely to be anything else. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:34, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tamaskan Dog[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Six months after an AfD that was heavily WP:CANVASSED, nothing substantial in this article has changed and there is still almost nothing to establish this breed's notability. Don't get me wrong, they're cool dogs, I just don't think they have a place here. This, this, and this are the only sources i could find that aren't run by breeders themselves.

This, on a (one of about five million) 'official' Tamaskan registries, has very low resolution (so low as to be unreadable - I understand why, but still) scans of articles on the Tamaskan in several magazines; some of them are in German and Dutch. I still have issues with it, though:

The Florida Lupine News article is literally a direct copy off a Tamaskan breeders' website.
The dutch article looks ok, but I don't speak dutch
The article in Hunde appears to be an interview, but I don't speak german and it's too small to see clearly.
Three of the articles from DOGS Today (from the UK edition) appear to be an editorial/opinion piece about a man getting a new puppy. The fourth seems OK.
The german DOGS Today article, again too small to read so I can't say for sure, appears to be written by breeders involved with Tamaskans.
Source 1 and 2 on the page are both primary sources
Source 3 is a band website news posting about a photoshoot for the band - I don't know if this is a primary source but it is certainly not independent.
Sources 4, 5 and 7 are all for one dog
Source 6 is a sketchy looking list of "cute dog breeds"
Source 8 is a Facebook video

I'm raising this article at AfD a second time so we can perhaps establish a consensus without an influx of breeders from Tamaskan forums. There have been three previous AfDs, two closed as delete (one as speedy delete) and the most recent, six months ago, closed as Keep. I nominated the most recent AfD.

Keep - It was nice of the nominator to provide the full Keep rationale. Closed as a Keep earlier as the subject of multiple, substantial independently published sources. I get that the big dog registries still have not recognized this breed, but that's a special guideline pass, not a general guideline pass. There are Tamaskan breeders, Tamaskan clubs, Tamaskan rescues, etc. It is a breed, or if it is not a breed, there has been sufficient material published about the non-breed to source out a freestanding article.

ISAIMV[edit]

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

I can find no reliable source to back up the information on the article. I'm rather somewhat fluent in Spanish so I searched Google and Google News to see if there were any news sources to back anything in the article and I could find none. All of the references are self-published with no third-party coverage. Also, the website is hosted on a free webhost making the reliable of the site very questionable. Also questionable is the methodology. The article claims the ISAIMV shows the best-selling singles in Venezuela but the website does not say nor does it explain where its getting sales information from.

Delete Numerous minor league season pages have been deleted as non-notable, and just because it's their first season after moving doesn't change that. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:43, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - How about a link to one of those prior discussions? Otherwise I have added only a few sources, and there are usually at least two sources for each game, thus it would meet the WP:GNG - which usually trumps the generally speaking types of items. I understand perhaps in the past people just looked these as minor league seasons, but even minor league teams get as much media coverage as small college football teams, and we do have seasons for those. We also do seasons for what are in essence minor league soccer teams. And before someone mentions WP:OTHERSTUFF please note that cuts both ways with the arguments above regarding ones that were deleted. Lastly, since the argument for deletion is notability, did the nominator complete the required WP:BEFORE? Again, hopefully that helps make the point that each article should be considered on its merits, as the general outcomes is really where you are judging a topic to determine if the article is notable on an inherit basis, instead of judging it for what is actually in the article. As in, is the topic notable on its own when you put aside that some prior seasons may have been deleted? Otherwise it is like saying numerous road articles have been deleted as non-notable, therefor all road articles should be deleted, and that is simply faulty logic. Aboutmovies (talk) 03:26, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you believe honestly that all tens of thousands of former minor league baseball seasons are worth an article? The discussion in question (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1980 Lynn Sailors season) was on a AAA team, one that could be argued as close to the majors. This is a bottom-level minor league team. This would be akin to a college football season article on a division 3 school, or a very low footy division. It's ridiculous. Wizardman 05:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do we have articles on every band/musician/politician/restaurant owner/soldier and so on? You know we do not. Instead we take each one on its own merits and judge each by the notability standards. In fact, we do not have any "never" notable categories of articles. Instead, the subject matter notability guidelines are for basically automatically notable topics, not the opposite as you are attempting to assert, which that assertion would be the one that is ridiculous. And to be perfectly honest, given the media coverage, I would not be surprised if each minor league season would actually pass the GNG for those seasons in the last say ten years, and certainly for all at the AAA and AA level. Each minor league game is usually covered at a minimum by the home and away newspapers, most are broadcast on the radio, some are broadcast on TV, and there appears to be a variety of online media that covers MILB, and most of the local newspapers cover the season in more depth than just the game recaps - previews, stories on players. Then look at attendance, which can run to around 100,000 for the season for even short-season A teams like this, which is a lot more than many Div. I FCS teams do for attendance for an entire season. In other words, the media coverage is there due to the economic impact these teams have, and thus why they pass the GNG. Certainly not at the same level of a major league team or an NFL team, but we do not compare the level of notability, only that it meets the minimum. Much like the bar exams do not tell you how good of an attorney one is if they pass, only that they meet the minimum competency. That's what the GNG is, minimal notability. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:54, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And after reviewing the AfD you noted, I doubt all the editors would agree that this one was not, and contrary to the nomination here it certainly did not establish ALL minor league seasons are non-notable. Many noted the particular season was not "inherently" notable, which means it has to be shown, and it is in this case. In fact, one might take from the nom that being the inaugural season might just be the significant thing some of the editors in the old AfD were looking for.

Comment By the above logic, individual games would be notable, since each game receives coverage from multiple news outlets. I disagree. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 18:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some individual games are in fact notable, not any for this team though. Keep in mind a few sources per game would not be enough for an individual article, as you need more. By the end of the season there would likely be a couple hundred articles covering this season, but nice straw man argument. The fact is, there is a reason why the AfD process automatically provides a way for people to find sources so that actually notability can be determined, instead of opinions that an entire category could never be notable. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And I would not be surprised if there are more, but did you look at those debates? While all led to deletion, there was never a consensus that I could see that every season can never be notable. Some put that thought out there, but it was not universal. Frankly, there is no category of topics that are deemed non-notable, despite the assertion. If there is, please point me to the guideline. Given one doubtfully exists, there is a reason: GNG trumps all as to inclusion. This should be clear by the WP:BEFORE requirement on ALL AfDs, which should procedurally do away with this AfD, though my guess is no one here cares about following the Wikipedia-wide rules and guidelines and instead want to hold on to some preconceived notions regarding notability within the sports realm instead of focusing on the merits of the individual article.

Keep: Article is very well sourced, far surpassing the general notability guideline. Whether or not others create articles about other teams' seasons, as others have brought up, is not relevant to this discussion. The GNG is. -Pete (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have had respect for you and aboutmovies, so it's quite shocking to me that you're supporting such a blatantly non-notable article. Let's try a closer way of looking at it. None of the sources showcase GNG for the specific season. They showcase GNG for the Hillsboro Hops as a whole easily enough, and the team's article is worth developing. However, you guys have failed in explaining here or above why the content cannot be in the main team article. Minor league seasons fail GNG, plain and simple. Wizardman 02:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Did you do WP:BEFORE as required? I have to ask, as if you had, you would find what you are looking for. Notability is not about keeping the info in certain areas, as the only thing that matters is the GNG (and to an extent WP:NOT, but since we do season articles in general then NOT is not in play). But, the reason is once the season is over my personal plans are to add in attendance info, batting/pitching stats, and a complete roster. I think that might clutter up the page, and after a few seasons worth of that info you can see the reason in general why we have season articles. Can you explain how it fails the GNG when there are currently 12 sources there? More to the point, how many sources do you need for GNG? I ask as I'm fairly certain I could get it to 100 if that's what it takes. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
References you refer to are little more than routine game coverage. Far from substantial coverage. Article has no content outside of the game log. Spanneraol (talk) 12:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Like Spanner says, it's the quality of sources, not the quantity. All the ones in the article are routine game coverage, and aren't notability-establishing, or establishing of anything other than the fact that games were played. By your standards, every single game they played that you have a source for would get its own article. Wizardman 15:22, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently neither of you appears to understand notability. I say this because both of you are judging the topic by the existing article, which is a no-no. Remember, we judge the topic, not the article. Again, this is why WP:BEFORE exists: look for the sources that demonstrate notability. We do not delete non-notable articles, we delete non-notable topics. That is to say, again, neither of you spent so much as minute looking for the sources. I spent about two, and going back just for this month alone, here are the non-game recap articles on the team just from The Oregonian's site (a major, daily newspaper): [13] [14] [15] (different than the other on the guy) [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]. More from the same paper can be found if you look.

Engouh with the straw man argument about individual game's notability. As I said above, and is quit clearly covered at the GNG, you need more than just a few articles to make something notable. A single game rarely has that.

Otherwise, how about you just admit you do not like minor league seasons, as at-least you would be honest here.

Lastly, as to respect, I respect editors who follow the rules. Which means we do this old school style and let things be governed by the GNG, and we follow policy (e.g. WP:BEFORE). So far, BEFORE certainly was not followed, so there is one policy violation (the deletion policy), and the fact that editors have the audacity to proclaim certain categories as non-notable shows the GNG is not being followed. Notability is not inherited, nor would non-notability. The basic premise we have for inclusion on Wikipedia is two-fold: each article is judged on its own, and that sources exist to avoid the OR and allow for verifiability. I find it a good idea for editors to remind themselves why we have the inclusion standards, as it seems far to often editors get into little boxes, who then want the inclusion to revolve around their world view of what is notable to them. As in, it often comes down to I have not heard of this topic or it seems to limited in scope geographically, so we should not have it. But the reason we have inclusion criteria was never to make this about having only topics of world-wide or even national recognition, but instead to ensure we have accurate articles: "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics." Failing to do so leads to lots of wasted time when people fail to get what we are doing here and we have to explain how the guidelines work. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The sources you list above do nothing to establish the notability of the season.. Most of them are about individual player transactions which are more about the players than the team and the others help with the notability of the team itself but not necessarily that THIS SEASON is that important.Spanneraol (talk) 12:45, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete.. Article makes no claim to notability and in fact has very little content. All that the article says is that the team exists and played some games... Article only contains a game log... something that can be found on multiple other websites. Article creators arguments that the season has coverage is meaningless, by that basis even many high school teams have game by game coverage. Spanneraol (talk) 00:40, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While high school teams often do, is that coverage for every game on an in-depth basis by a large newspaper? Maybe where you are from, but where I'm from you get a couple paragraphs at most and maybe a league overview. Also, what is a claim to notability? I've heard that before, but since notability is demonstrated via multiple RS, I have yet to get the concept. Or more to the point, I've never found that in the GNG, only what I wrote about multiple RS. As in, an article does not become notable because the article says they are notable for this or that, the article is notable because the topic is notable (again, articles are not notable, it is the topic) as demonstrated by the sources. And frankly, your description may be accurate as to what the article shows, but that would be an argument against all season articles for all sports: team existed, played some games, lost some, won some. And what does the availability of the information elsewhere have to do with anything? Again, I'm not seeing that in the GNG, can you quote me that section? Personally, I like to stick the guidelines and policies, not random thought processes that if thought through would mean the editor believes Wikipedia articles should not exist if we can find the information elsewhere, which due to the OR limitations we have means we should not have articles. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Again, nothing you have written shows that THIS SEASON is notable enough for it's own article.... THE TEAM is notable but not the season. The article has NO CONTENT and is just a gamelog which on its own is a violation of WP:NOTSTATS. The "topic" of a minor league baseball season has no lasting notability. The standings and statistics of minor league teams don't matter at all in the overall theme of professional baseball. Spanneraol (talk) 12:37, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't argue with you. You simply do not get what notability is. Again, I implore you to read the GNG: "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can have its own article." (emphasis added) The fact you keep talking about the article (e.g. "NO CONTENT") completely and totally demonstrates your lack of understanding of notability. We judge the topic, not the article. Repeat as many times as you need to so you get it. So, when we judge an article at AfD, we look at the topic, which means we see if the topic is notable by looking not just at the article, but other sources that can be found. Again, this ties into why WP:BEFORE is required and given that was not done is grounds enough to invalidate the AfD. Not to mention, importance does not matter. Again, read the GNG: "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below." (please note both of my quotes here come from the the lede of the GNG, which is where the really important parts of the guideline are located. We simply do not care that much about importance, only notability as demonstrated by the sources. That also means, we don't actually care if this is a minor league team or your local bowling league. What matters, the only thing that matters, is whether the coverage exists. Granted, your local bowling league is almost guaranteed to not have sources, while a major league team generally does. But we do not make blanket determinations that all of such and such can never be notable.

Also, there is more than just a game log, but whatever.

Lastly, each of the articles I listed above do help confer notability, as would coverage of individual games where it goes beyond WP:ROUTINE (as in more than a two paragraph recap), as that is what the season is about. A season is a series of games and roster moves. Not to mention, if the nominator had looked for some sources, even more are out there. As I said, I only went back the beginning of the month, and the coverage has be running for months leading up to the season. Again, look for the sources. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you will go on and on with more rambling nonsense and insults.. but the TOPIC of this particular season is simply not notable and your sources do not show that the season, as opposed to the team or the players, is notable. The gamelog by itself violates WP:NOTSTATS and the rest of the content (what little there is) can easily be incorporated into the main Hillsboro article. Spanneraol (talk) 16:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you find Wikipedia guidelines and policy to be nonsense, that's sad. Anyway, how many sources do you need? And, just because the current information could be merged, that has nothing to do with notability. Merging is an alternate to deletion. But let me know how many sources you want.

Hydroxide sulfur hexafluoride[edit]

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

Hoax article. What I really want is for someone to G3 this, but I’m not sure whether this really qualifies as a blatant hoax (it should be blatant to anyone who has taken a couple of undergrad chemistry courses). The most obvious part is that you can’t produce a sulfur- and fluorine-containing compound out of two reagents neither of which contain any sulfur or fluorine atoms (see TNT and nitroglycerine). Secondly, sulfur does not take a valence of 7 (its maximum oxidation state is 6) so unless I’m missing something, I suspect the molecule is also impossible. (There are also a couple of other irregularities, e.g. the chemical formula does not match the name of the chemical, but I suppose that’s less important.)

Delete for now. It looks like the article has included WP:NPOV advertorial content in its lead section for at least the past couple of years, despite multiple established Wikipedians having edited the article. It seems nobody really cares to fix the NPOV issue; so even sending the article to WP:Article Incubator won't help. (And soft deletion is too soft an option; even a zero-edit COI editor can take a soft deletion to REFUND.) If someone finds more sources (in any language) and commits to clean up the NPOV issues, they can visit Deletion Review, present their sources, get the article incubated or userfied, then fix up the article. But I think it's very possible that nobody is interested enough to bother properly fixing up the article. Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 04:01, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Let me add: The page also provides no evidence that the subject meets WP:GNG. (Dear non-Wikipedians: Please see WP:42 for a summary of that guideline.) And as well, the article has been tagged with ((advert)) since November 2012. That means it must have failed WP:NPOV for over six months. So it's easily possible nobody is interested in fixing the NPOV issues. If anybody wants to fix the NPOV issues later, they still can. They can get the article undeleted into the WP:Article incubator, fix the issues, then have the article moved back to mainspace. Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 04:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A search on Google for (him "live in hel") returned 156 results, and again (as I recently nominated Uncover… which had the same problems) most were torrent websites, fansites or YouTube videos. Those that were not were PR and did little to justify why the EP is so notable. (Here's an example.)Links used in citations appear to be dead, fansites or both.

Merge to University of Waterloo. Northamerica1000^(talk) 07:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I don't think this nomination complies with WP:BEFORE. There may be student newspapers that are not in fact notable. Others, like the Harvard Crimson, unquestionably are, being more notable than many non-student newspapers. So, where does the imprint fit on this spectrum? Well:

The Imprint has a history of genuine investigative journalism, and some of its articles have been cited in scholarly works;
David Johnston, former President of the University of Waterloo was appointed Governor General of Canada. Notability is not inherited, and it could be argued that the Imprint's coverage of Johnston, while he was at Waterloo, would not make the paper notable -- unless mainstream journalists went over every issue of the Imprint looking for clues as to Johnston's character. But mainstream journalists did go over every issue, and sought out former Imprint editors -- which I suggest is a factor in its notability.
A Canadian engineer of Sri Lankan background had a work term in Sri Lanka in 2005. Upon his return to the University of Waterloo the Imprint repeated his account of working there when that huge Tsunami swept the Indian Ocean. It repeated that he set aside his work term job, while he joined efforts to try free those who were trapped, and joined efforts to try to make sure survivors were fed, housed, and got medical attention. It repeated his description of how everyone from all sides in the Sri-Lankan conflict suspended hostilities, and that he met and worked with elements of the Tamil Tigers during rescue efforts. This innocent account of an innocent temporary association with with the Tamil Tigers triggered an arrest by US counter-terrorism officials. Geo Swan (talk) 15:50, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian Humphreys, Allison Hanes (2006-08-23). "Waterloo university grad was secretly working for Tamil terrorists, FBI alleges". National Post. Archived from the original on 2013-07-20. Retrieved 2013-07-20. In a February, 2005, edition of the Imprint, the student newspaper, Sriskandarajah tells of travelling to northeastern Sri Lanka with a group of 11 University of Waterloo students on a foreign aid mission, only to find themselves providing emergency relief when the Boxing Day tsunami struck.

Keep on balance, I;d keep this. She's sufficiently important, and the best way of showing her possible bias is to include discussion of her publications in the article.

Keep This book, "The Indigenous Languages of South America: A Comprehensive Guide," edited by Lyle Campbell and, Verónica Grondona, appears to be a reliable source and not a mirror of Wikipedia. It lists several scholarly works which have discussed it as a dialect or distinct language. It has also been spelled "Konambo." Without specifically addressing the possible Conambo dialect of Záparo, [34] says that Zaporo speakers in Ecuador declined from tens of thousands before the European invasions to a handful today, but they are recognized by the Ecuadoran government as an indigenous nationality. If we choose to get rid of the article despite being at least a recognized dialect once spoken in one village, we could redirect or merge to Zaparoan languages.

Keep. As Campbell and Grondona note, Loukotka posits Conambo as a distinct language. Kaufman treats it as a dialect, but then he also treats other lects we have separate articles on as dialects. For consistency, IMO we should keep Conambo as a separate article, since we don't follow Kaufman for the others.

That's not sneering; I must do more work on that topic. I noticed the issue you raise when I looked at the profile but considered it unimportant in assessing notability as the significant point was that BGG considered this designer significant enough to have a profile, albeit of poor quality. But, if you want to see a better quality profile, then here's a third one. Finding these profiles is just a matter of searching - takes about 30 seconds.

Fooling Ewe[edit]

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

Promotional article of a non-notable book. I prodded the article, but it was summarily removed by the author.

The article has no encyclopedic value whatsoever. There's nothing neutral about it, there is a single third-party reference mentioned (though I found the review, and it's hardly substantial), and it consists of just repeated outlines of the book. I feel like I've been generous by not just outright deleting it as spam.

I couldn't find much worthwhile for the article. The Facebook page has 3800 fans, while the Twitter page has 191 followers. A quick Google search nets 133k results, but I was getting false positives on the second page (and some of the other hits I was getting were of the Kickstarter for the book, rather than the book itself).

The author, TJ22 (talk · contribs), has no edits outside of promoting this book; aside from writing this article, he's also linked to his article from ewe [36] and word play [37]. He is also potentially 76.119.199.66 (talk), given that that's the only other substantial author of Fooling Ewe (assuming good faith, I'd say it's just him logged out, not a malicious effort to avoid scrutiny).

Promotion for this book has also spilled over to Commons. There, TJ22 has uploaded seven different images for the book; I've deleted five of them (I found the enwiki article while clearing out images on Commons that didn't have adequate permissions), and since those five were deleted, he's uploaded another two (duplicates of what I deleted) and restored them to the article.

Nothing against the book, but it just doesn't merit an article on Wikipedia at this time. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:07, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It skirst close enough to the advertising line that I would have nominated it for a speedy deletion for advertising. But as we are here at AFD, I'll go with regular delete. There is no signficant coverahe in independent reliable sources. The article makes claims for praise. I found the Stacy Juba review which is essentially a blog entry on her site and not a reliable source. I also found the NYParenting review which is all of 4 sentences long. I don't see this as compelling evidence of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:15, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
