Per WP:BIO1E, this is a biography of a person known for one event, scoring 100 points in a basketball game. Neither the event nor the person has received WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. A Google News search shows a majority of hits around the event in February 2003, with only a trivial mention in 2010 when another basketball player scored 100. The subject is already a list entry in List of basketball players who have scored 100 points in a single game. At best, this can be a redirect to the list tagged with ((R to list entry)). This single event is more suitable to be preserved at sister project Wikinews. —Bagumba (talk) 22:45, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Per WP:ANYBIO: The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Tigran Grigorian definitely follows under the historical record category as the first person in California to score more than 100 points a game in high school basketball. Proudbolsahye (talk) 03:13, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, being one of several Americans to score 100 or more points in a high school basketball game in California is not necessarily "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:20, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: He is not only one of the several Americans that did so...but the only Californian. Proudbolsahye (talk) 03:23, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that the footnote at WP:ANYBIO says, "Generally, a person who is 'part of the enduring historical record' will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians." Please identify the in-depth coverage in multiple history books.—Bagumba (talk) 07:13, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Grigorian not only holds title to the most points scored in a high school basketball game, but he broke the record. As you well know, California in itself is notable and breaking a high school basketball record is no small feat. Especially when its record breaking. Proudbolsahye (talk) 10:05, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Grigorian not only holds title to the most points scored in a high school basketball game" – no, Danny Heater holds that record. "California in itself is notable" – irrelevant. "breaking a high school basketball record is no small feat." – debatable, that depends on the record in question. Granted, this particular one is a tough record to break, but state-level high school sports record holders are not notable by any criteria except whether that person passes general notability guidelines that extend beyond one event. This player does not, and is therefore non-notable. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE.

If this nomination passes, I'll put up a group nomination for the 182 other generated stubs that have been untouched since creation.

I am so confused!>) (You were being sarcastic, weren't you. Weren't you?)>( – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 21:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the mistaken attribution, now fixed. ¶ I don't know where the confusion comes from. CCkerberos writes of 182 other generated stubs that have been untouched since creation. I know what he/she is referring to. These hardly merit the description "stubs"; I call them "substubs". They have been touched since creation (e.g. by me), but they haven't been significantly developed. I'm not going to count them, but I find the number 182 quite credible. However many there are of them, I'm sure that at least two thirds of them are about people who indisputably merit articles here. (As I've said, Gen Ōtsuka is one of these.) If there are indeed 182 substubs, then there will be over a hundred for people who indisputably merit articles. I'm happy to see these substubs deleted. Of course I'd be a lot happier if a hundred or more real articles were to spring up, but deletion of uninformative substubs should do nothing to inhibit later creation of articles actually worth reading about the same people. ¶ Here's a bonus for you. I don't worry so much about WP:CREATIVE. (After all, it's not a policy.) If somebody doesn't make the grade but nevertheless a short, informative, well-sourced, non-promotional article about her can be provided, I'm happy to see its inclusion. Once, a long time ago, and with this in mind, I decided that as a little challenge I'd find the person who seemed the least significant among the 328, and turn the substub about him or her into a decent little article. I did just that. Nobody objected, then or later. -- Hoary (talk) 01:00, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, to be fair, as Hoary mentions, the nominated article and others mentioned weren't literally untouched. All of them have had their name orders switched (by Hoary, I believe) to match the MoS, and a few have had orphan tags and the like added to them. I perhaps should have said something along the lines of "the 182 other generated stubs haven't had a sentence added to their article text since creation."
  • The flip side of that, of course, is that 145 of the stubs generated by the bot have been improved to at least some extent (many by Hoary). For example, the article on Ken Domon started as one of these "substubs".
  • I generally take a very inclusionist approach to Wikipedia, so I agree and wouldn't have made the nom if there had actually been anything in the articles, nevermind WP:CREATIVE. But this being AfD, I figured a reference to notability guidelines was probably a good idea. Cckerberos (talk) 02:39, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't take issue with any of that. (NB the first impression you might get from the current article on Ken Domon, that it's long and therefore substantial, quickly dissipates when you see how much of it is merely list, list, list. Ditto for many, probably most, of my expansions of these substubs.) I've got two regrets: that nobody turned circa 182 non-articles into articles (well, no surprise there), and that I didn't have the nerve in 2007 to propose what Cckerberos is proposing now. -- Hoary (talk) 03:23, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's not just Polbot that's to blame for these non-articles. Consider Marta Hoepffner. The reader is told (on 27 April 2012): (i) Marta Hoepffner (1912 - 2000) was a German artist and photographer. and (ii) This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the Polish Wikipedia. Here's what was then the current version of the Polish article. It has a precisely composed bibliography (probably enough to have generated the article, and more), but no inline references. So translating chunks of it would either lead to an unsourced article or require an unthinking copy of the bibliography. I often see this kind of non-article; they're merely a waste of other people's time, and an annoyance to would-be readers. (If somebody really wanted an article on Hoepffner, nothing's stopping him from writing a message to WikiProject Poland saying "pl:Marta Hoepffner looks interesting; could I persuade anyone here produce an English equivalent?") -- Hoary (talk) 00:08, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. First, as for the nominated article itself, I cannot find sufficient RS in Japanese to warrant an independent article. As for the other articles created by this bot, I am afraid I am cautious on these matters and would hesitate to support a mass deletion. As already noted, some may actually have merit. Just because an article remains a stub and has not been edited since creation does not mean it is on a non-notable subject (that has never been a criterion for deletion). This is especially the case with non-English language subjects like Japan. (I know plenty of barely edited stubs in Wikipedia on Japanese actors who are very famous in Japan.) I am afraid I feel that most of these bot-related articles should be judged on a case-by-case basis. Perhaps a small task force can be created for this?

I should probably add that the quoted speech was not, technically, the declaration of war, it was merely announcing to the public what had occurred. Its nearest comparison is FDR's Infamy Speech which gets its own article as well as another on the US declaration of war itself. Both Chamberlain's and FDR's speeches are equally notable, and there is a case for better and fuller treatment of the whole topic of the outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939, but this is not the way. --AJHingston (talk) 15:39, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • At the moment it covers substantially the same ground as the Vandals article with mostly the same material.

This should be done now, or else we should delete this article and let somebody start from scratch at their convenience. Srnec (talk) 04:17, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: It seems there are two issues here: the (a) topic itself and (b) the current state of the article. Regarding (a), the Vandal Kingdom was a notable political/geographical entity and is more than deserving of its own Wikipedia article. WP:NOTE is easily satisfied with the numerous WP:RS available. Regarding (b), WP:IMPERFECT states that "Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome" (see also WP:POTENTIAL). The article certainly needs cleanup and dedicated editing to add fresh content to distinguish it from Vandals, but deletion is not cleanup (WP:NOTCLEANUP). I would also add that there's no deadline here (WP:NODEADLINE). One step that can be taken to encourage speedier improvements/rewrites is to bring this to the attention of the folks at WP:HISTORY. As a last resort, the duplicated material stemming from the content fork could be deleted and the article cut down a lot (perhaps even to a Stub) to provide a fresh basis on which to build the article. Per POTENTIAL this would be preferable to deletion. --Mike Agricola (talk) 19:41, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so here is the problem - They were all significantly inbred, from the 9th century kingdoms of Leon and Navarre (both inexplicably left out) to the Bourbons, so the concept of there being endogamy is valid, but it has never been addressed, except in passing when reporting a single specific marriage, with two exceptions of which I am aware - an article on endogamy (actually using that term in the title) in late 9th - early 10th century Kingdom of Pamplona (which the compiler of these tables has decided not to include), and in the case of the Hapsburgs. That is not to say that there wasn't inbreeding in the kingdom of Leon (10th - 11th centuries, ignored), the autonomous county of Castile (10th - 11th centuries, ignored), the kingdom of Castile (12-16th centuries, ignored) and the kingdom of Navarre (10th - 16th or 17th, ignored), but I am unaware of it being addressed except in passing (e.g. when reporting a marriage to say something like 'Ramiro then married Adosinda, daughter of the Galician count Gutierre Osoriz and his own first cousin', or when it served as pretext for subsequent divorce). That is also not to say the compiler was aware of this body of scholarly work - they simply looked at the on-line Roglo genealogy database (non-WP:RS) and compiled a table by WP:SYNTH. It includes people and relationships completely made up by 'genealogists' (the entire Asturias table is nonsense - of the five endogamous marriages shown, not a single relationship is authentic), and also includes highly speculative and completely irrelevant connections 9 generations back (in the Castile section, the relationship of the wives of Alfonso VI is based on noting more than 'here is an early 10th century person named Raymond and he named his son Bernard and in the mid-9th century there is a person named Raymond who named his son Bernard, so the second Raymond was probably grandson of the first' - Alfonso and his wives in the late 11th century would have been completely unaware, while the pope tried to force Alfonso to divorce his second wife for being too closely related to his first, a much more relevant connection). I do not think that there exists sources to do a comprehensive article on the subject as a whole that is consistent with Wikipedia policy on sourcing. There could certainly be an article on the inbreeding among the Hapsburgs (which need not be limited to Spain), and maybe one on the inbreeding in early Navarre (although one obscure article in French does not necessarily establish notability for WP.en), but bridging the two with 600 years of unreliable arbitrary original research just doesn't cut it. What we have here is just an exercise in 'look what I found in the database'. Agricolae (talk) 16:23, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Agricolae's comment that "I do not think that there exists sources to do a comprehensive article on the subject as a whole", meaning on the subject of the Spanish monarchies. An article on Habsburg endogamy would, if properly done, be acceptable. And I think the article you are referring to is "Endogamia en la dinastía regia de Pamplona (siglos IX–XI)" by Cañada Palacio, which is in Spanish, not French. Srnec (talk) 04:11, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but absolutely not! I see that I got the two confused/combined in my mind - the one you mention (available here [2]) uses the term endogamy, but I was actually thinking of "Consanguinity et Alliances Dynastiques en Espagne au Haut Moyen Age: La Politique Matrimoniale de la Reinne Tota de Navarre" by Thierry Stasser (which, obviously, doesn't use 'endogamy' but is in French). So, we have two scholarly articles on royal Iberian endogamy, other than the Hapsburgs, and they both deal with the same minor kingdom (Pamplona/Navarre, a kingdom not even included in the current page), during the same time period (9th-10th in one, 9th-11th century in the other), and nothing on the 500 years in between, nor any of the other kingdoms (Leon, Castile, Aragon).

Redirect. This article was originally created as a redirect to Doolittle Raid#List of the participating crewmen, however an editor who has previously created multiple articles on Doolittle Raiders that have since been redirected back to the main list - [3], [4] - expanded it to a full article. However, like the others previously redirected, Griffin is not notable enough for a standalone article; outside of the one event he fails to reach the levels of notability for such, failing WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. As he is only notable for the Doolittle Raid, the page should be restored to the redirect; I would simply have done so, but the creator's history is to continually revert attempts to do so with the label of vandalism ([5], [6]) so a full discussion is likely needed.

According the cited article in Corriere della Sera the college radio first aired last September [7]. And a mention in an article about Italian campus radios, in which Radio Catt is cited together with other non notable radios such as Radio Liuc, youCampus, Poli.Radio and Rbg Bergamo, is not enough to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Cavarrone (talk) 21:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the minimum criteria are met for RadioCatt because it's of national importance (it's not local radio). radio catt submit the same criteria of all the radio's page of en.wiki (radioeco.it ecc..ecc).

As I understand it, that's right - a Talk without a mainspace page is toast. A similar entry can always be made on Pelayo's Talk page refuting the existence of this daughter if it is deemed worth preserving. Agricolae (talk) 05:40, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the citations you point to have the slightest thing to do with the 'person' in question. The first reports the marriage of the Basque kinglet Iñigo Arista (d. 850/1) to Iñiga (alt. form Onneca). This is 1) 150 years after the time period in question, 2) in a different region and cultural context (the Basque principality of Pamplona, not the Visigoth principality of Asturias), and 3) based on a collection of charters of dubious authenticity (a different collection of charters includes one that instead names the wife of Iñigo as Toda, but it too is doubtful). The second book is describing events in the kingdom of Leon (the successor state to the kingdom of Asturias) during the reign of Bermudo II (d. 998), so two and a half centuries later than Pelayo.

I knew they weren't the same person, I guess I should have clarified that I found nothing relevant (though the article doesn't provide much info itself to help search). Regarding your nomination comment, where does it exactly say this is an attempt of a family tree? SwisterTwister talk 04:25, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't say this is the case, but from the claim being made and the way it is being expressed, it is obvious that is what this is. Someone decided that the documented pedigree of the Tagle family wasn't good enough and started to get creative. This account falls within a broad pattern seen in medieval genealogy, and there are numerous instances of invented additional children (usually either a daughter or an illegitimate son) of a revered king that have cropped up over the centuries. You can see such inventions all across Europe, and they all have a similar pattern to them. I was just recognizing that pattern for what it was. It is one of the things that provides a constant headache to scholarly medieval genealogy - all of these old family foundation legends that they have to keep refuting, (keep refuting because the families in question do not want their sacred origin legends questioned and so play 'I didn't hear that'. This is not the only one on Wikipedia, but it is one of the more obviously false of them for all the reasons I gave on the Talk page. Agricolae (talk) 05:48, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was created at User:Flora85 by that SPA who edited only on 1 and 2 Feb 2010. It remained untouched for a year and a half until another SPA, Bill Price - William (talk) appeared, and edited it over 11 days in late September/early October 2011. It was nominated for deletion at MfD, and was heading for deletion until Bill Price - William stated that he had further sources to add to the page. Following that, the page was kept to allow him a chance to develop it; but he never edited the page again, nor made any further edits to Wikipedia at all.

The page was recently brought to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Flora85 (2nd nomination) as a WP:FAKEARTICLE, but the conclusion of the discussion was that it was good enough to deserve consideration as an article. I have therefore moved it to the mainspace and bring it here for the community to consider. Procedural nomination: I am neutral. On the plus side, he seems to have a considerable record, he is mentioned in many existing articles, the tone is not unduly promotional, and there are many refs; on the minus side, there is reason to suppose autobiography, or at best COI (which is not a reason for deletion, but is a reason for looking hard at notability), many of the refs are mere list mentions and it is not clear there is enough depth of independent coverage to establish notability.

This article aims to list all URL shorteners. However, it's financially and technically trivial for anyone to set up their own URL shortening service using freely available software. This list isn't comprehensive but already contains nearly 400 entries, only two of which have been shown to be notable. The Manual of Style's list selection criteria makes it clear that "if a complete list would include hundreds of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list." We already have a list of notable URL shorteners at URL shortening#Notable URL shortening services; I suggest that List of URL shorteners be deleted and redirected to the existing list.

  • Hi. As for your last concern, I believe Media Player is the old name of the product and it was later renamed "Windows Media Player". That aside, their functionality is for the most part the same. So, I think it has full merit for merge. But the reason I dropped this line and came to AfD was due to my perceived lack of notability. I couldn't tell whether the snippet view sources contained passing mentions or more than that. In two cases in the past, I also discovered that the community held a lower standard of notability than I did. So, I went by all I had: Proposing it here would tell me whether I was right or wrong. Let's see with which of us others agree. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence that this series meets the notability criteria. A couple of press-releases exist, but no significant coverage can be found. The coverage that I could find mentioned the producer, but did not even verify the cast member details. Searches are not helped by several false hits, like "xxx second, Holmes did xxx"; "second.

The result was keep. With all respect, I must discredit all the "delete" arguments which assume Russian neologisms are inherently unworthy for inclusion on the English Wikipedia (see WP:Systematic bias#The nature of Wikipedia's bias), and those based on the poor prose quality of the article (because AfD is not cleanup).

  • The fact that other stuff exists does not prove that this article ought to exist. Looking at the first two items in Category:Russian words and phrases, for example, afghanka is an article of clothing, and avoska is a type of bag. These are physical objects which can be, and have been, adequately explained in English without the reader needing to know Russian. Phil Bridger, below, says that the article's comprehensibility should be addressed by editing, not deletion. Maybe so, but right now this article is more puzzling than informative. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:32, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comprehensibility is an issue that should be addressed by editing, not deletion, and a topic being inherently part of a foreign language has no bearing on its suitability for an encyclopedia of the whole world that happens to be written in English.

Agreed. I suppose I was thinking more along the lines of awkwardly "clunky". At any rate, the two remain separate (though admittedly well-linked) topics which could be expanded into longer standalone articles, as well as discrete subjects warranting their own articles, even though they might be short, as per WP:MERGE.

Comment - Does anyone think that the ongoing sex scandal controversy regarding this organization, if included, cited, and deemed not to violate any policies, would make the article more notable and worth saving, or perhaps that's not a path we as a wiki should tread?

Continuous improvement from those interested might spare this article another AFD in the future. A quick Google Search brings up a lot of links, although many of them are YouTube and non-notable sources. However, a few, like this one (already used in the article) could be considered credible with a more thorough look. Finding more than one credible source would be ideal. Re-listing the article a fourth time is unlikely to trigger further discussion (based on the previous three re-listings), and will keep that not so pretty AFD tag on the top of the page for more time.

List of number-one Billboard Comedy Albums of the 2010s (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I created the more comprehensive decade lists because I thought it was easier to read a list of albums over the course of a decade than it was a list of 52 dates with about 10-12 albums in them, plus one has to only go to two pages rather than eight for the entire history. But in the end, I've come to realize this topic is not notable as there is no coverage in reliable sources regarding number-one comedy albums. Many of these top comedy albums never even crack the Billboard 200 and rarely break into the top 50, and when they do, that becomes the news, not its placing on a comedy chart, even if number one. There's no article on the chart, just included in a list in Billboard charts. Beyond the publishing of the chart itself, even Billboard doesn't discuss in its updates online or in print. Doesn't seem to meet the requirements for stand-alone lists. There doesn't need to be a list of #1s for every Billboard chart. Nothing wrong with a mention of an album's peak position on the chart in the article for the album, however. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 07:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was supposed to be about an urban legend, but none of the sources say it is an urban legend (several of these sources don't suport what they were supposed to support). Actually the sources seem to indicate more that it works than that it does not work. The sources mention the term "tesão de vaca", but none of them say what it is. It is not even possible to say they are about the same thing. I believe it should be deleted as original research. Carlinho Teves (talk) 00:28, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only reference for this stub is a book citing the rather non-neutral claim that a religious movement is peaceful; it does not directly relate to the subject. It's been a few years and not a single source has been brought to prove the notability of the actual subject of the article himself. I can't see any reason to keep this article here.

Some one had removed reliable info,which i restored.Must be kept.Msoamu (talk) 21:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Said info still seems to be based on non-English sources, thus I'm still skeptical about the factuality of the article and the notability of the subject. Per Wikipedia policy, it is acceptable for editors to provide their own translations for sources, to an extent. Would you be willing to do that so sources can be directly quoted? Or possibly provide real brief translations of snippets on the article's talk page? MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article is a mess, however, subject seems to be notable, a book was written about him (in Urdu). His name seems to be "Sayyid Shamsuddīn K̲h̲vājah Ibrāhīm Yakpāsī" (1358-1446), very little was written about him in English. The article needs expert attention. I asked for help at WT:ISLAM.

The citation tag has been on this article for almost a year, yet the only "sources" provided are references to a book or periodical (I'm not sure which) that's over a hundred years old and nowhere to be found. Given the user-made family tree and photograph, I believe this article is the result of original research by an editor who is no longer active and thus cannot prove the subject's notability.

Must be kept.Notability is already established.Msoamu (talk) 21:08, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could you clarify? The notability is only supported are from century-old sources which may or may not even exist. Balochistan is a mountainous, impoverished region. While I am sure they must have at least one newspaper, there is no way to verify if that newspaper even exists; the article, as it stands now, is entirely original research by the creator. Hence my request for clarification on how exactly notability has been established. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:04, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Answer This link to the gazeteer appears to contain references to the individual now; when I originally inspected it at the time of nomination, I don't remember anything showing, even the image of the cover now available. Given the tone of the article, I assumed this was simply a fan page, though between now and the time when I originally nominated this, it was pointed out to me on two occasions that I did not properly inspect the guidelines for AfD. If you feel strongly that it should be kept (I would disregard Msoamu's comment above as it's unsubstantial), then I will gladly retract the nomination and apologize for my own misunderstanding. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:35, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't feel strongly as I have no expertise, and am unsure if the level of coverage arises to notability. I just can't support deletion when at least one source is verified and several others are listed. So, the decision about whether to withdraw or let the debate run its course is up to you. Thanks for taking my comment seriously. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:37, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I was somewhat embarrassed when it was pointed out to me (after I nominated a few other articles along with this one) that I hadn't read some key points in the policy. Well, I'm not an expert in this subject at all; I think I'd just leave it with my nomination and your comments to keep it, and wait for more comments (if we could have a subject matter expert on South Asian religious figures, it could possibly finish the issue). Although as it stands right now, it might end up with no consensus - at which point I wouldn't plan on nominating it a second time. MezzoMezzo (talk) 19:53, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
