The Cayman Islands Exempted Limited Partnership Law, 2014[edit]

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

I will quote the reason given in a PROD by Kobuu: "This seems to only be the law and reads like a legal briefing. I have no doubt that this is useful information to someone but I don't think Wiki is the place for it. Also, the original author no longer exists." 331dot (talk) 22:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. I don't think that a valid rationale for deletion has been advanced. Even if this were a problem (and I don't think it is) it can be dealt with by rewriting the article. If necessary, the article could be reduced to a one line stub and rebuilt. We don't delete articles because they are WP:IMPERFECT. James500 (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the criticism that the article is "only the law" is particularly absurd. A WP article on a piece of legislation should be about the law (and especially black letter law). There is no reason whatsoever why it should necessarily include history, politics or sociology because these subjects are marginally relevant at best. An article about law should read like a law book such as Halsbury's Laws of England (a famous encyclopedia of law) and not like a sociology book or the like. James500 (talk) 03:42, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What this article does contain is a large number of expression of opinions that are not attributed to any source. These might be original research, but they could easily have been drawn from one of the many sources discussing this Act. These can be dealt with simply by finding a source for them or by excising altogether, and are not a reason to delete the article. I think the best thing to do might be to stubify the article and rebuild it. James500 (talk) 04:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved this article to The Exempted Limited Partnership Law, 2014 and stubified it to remove the uncited material and POV with this edit. The article should now be expanded. There are now no further conceivable objections whatsoever to the article on this obviously notable Act. James500 (talk) 05:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The page is much improved,(the page should not be the law verbatim as it was) but I don't understand why there doesn't need to be a link to where the law is written down(or other source describing its passage). On pages I edit where I talk about a statute I always link to where I found it so others know I wasn't just making it up. 331dot (talk) 10:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst this article does now include external links (in the references section), and whilst external links are desirable because they make verification easier, we have never had a requirement that an article must be based on at least one online source. The reason for this appears to be that many books and other documents have never been digitised with a scanner and are available only in printed hard copy form. James500 (talk) 07:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying there has to be an online link, but it wasn't really clear to me (as an outsider) where to look up the information in any form. All of that said, I hereby withdraw my request given the changes to the page as it stands now. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My main objection to this page is that it is a hoax. It has two pictures on it, both of which include the face of the subject very obviously super-imposed. Beyond this, the article has no sources.

Speedy Delete blatant hoax per G3. The obviously rough cut-and-pastes of the subject's face on another person in photos with Tupac are hilarious. We seem to be encountering more and more tests of our systems and procedures for new articles, at least some of which are inspired/suggested by academics who question the validity/sustainability of Wikipedia as a reference of any reliability. I ask, not entirely rhetorically, whether we still have organized New Page Patrols? This article should not have survived a cursory review by any editor who was vaguely familiar with our notability, reliable source and deletion policies and guidelines, but yet, it survived for ten months.

Work Movement[edit]

Subject lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources, therefore fails Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for companies and organizations. Almost all sources link to the subject's database entry. However beside data entries there are four other sources in the article, one YouTube link (unreliable), one press release (unreliable), and two dead links. There is nothing helpful found on Google news and Google books. Perhaps creator would like to throw some light on the claim, which describe the subject in the lead subject as, "a global social enterprise". To me, subject qualifies deletion according to Wikipedia deletion policy for failing notability. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 09:13, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anthropocloud[edit]

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

A merge to cloud is possible, but I'm seeing very little coverage for what could be a neologism. Only sources I could really find are a thesis, and a few other sites that refer to this thesis. There are actually several, several sources about man-made clouds, but not under this name, so whether or not this can be kept, at least under this title, should now be discussed. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Failed to make this clearer earlier: the subject of this AfD is the term "Anthropocloud", not the concept of the man-made cloud. As it seems that the word Anthropocloud is a neologism that has not been covered in/used by reliable sources, should this article be kept, it should probably be moved to a different title. Note that Artificial cloud already exists, so I'm fine with a merge to that article. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would say that this is a notable topic in its own right and in several of the environmental sciences "Anthropo" is a widely used suffix to describe human activity, for example the Anthropocene which is a theoretical age used to describe the past 200 years. I am a recent graduate in environmental science. Seasider91 (talk) 12:50, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Palazzo Serra di Cassano, Naples
Flag Parthenopean Republic
Admiral Nelson and Lady Hamilton in Naples
Eleonora Pimentel
Luisa Sanfelice in Jail

Ignazio Ciaia

Gennaro Serra was a member of the House of Carafa, one of the most prominent aristocratic families in Naples, if not Italy, who lived in the monumental Palazzo Serra di Cassano in Naples, but who, in some ways working against his natal class, helped found the Parthenopean Republic, but despite surrendering to Cardinal Ruffo, the surrender agreement was in part voided by Admiral Nelson and his squeeze Lady Hamilton, leading to the execution of Eleonora Pimentel, Luisa Sanfelice ,Mario Pagano, and Ignazio Ciaia. One of whom argued with him about the wisdom of establishing a cavalry unit, other arrested with him for distributing the first copies of the declaration of the rights of man in naples, and some of whom were executed on the same stage on the same day. Luisa is an example of also how the counter revolutionary purge hit the aristocracy, and how it later influence artists; Serra's execution gave an idea to Tito Angelini.

I find it editorial that I have to justify why not to delete a biography on an individual whose memory is still around two hundred years later for rather earthshaking events in the history of Naples, but those who wish to delete it, do not have to make no effort at explaining themselves. I have seen zero, zero effort by anyone to justify why this article has to be deleted.

Keep. I see really a bunch of Google Books sources covering this individual, most Italian sources (a few are false positive as there is a Gennaro Serra street in Naples), which include a 1999 biographical work (Gennaro Serra di Cassano: un portone chiuso in faccia al tiranno by Pietro Gargano). Apparently an important figure in the short-lived Parthenopean Republic (eg, the book Terronismo by Marco Demarco refers to his life events as a popular myth).

Delete. Its capacity for confusion with similar terms makes this an extremely unhelpful word. The closest dictionary entries in the OED are 1. philander, n.2 1737 ...(Usu. in form filander.) The dusky wallaby or pademelon; 2. philander, v. 1778 ...intr. Esp. of a man: to flirt; to engage in casual sexual or romantic encounters; 3. philanderer, n. 1841...A man who philanders; a male flirt.... Coining of this word would bring about about an unnecessary clash of meaning between philandrer or philandrist (= a person who loves men) and philanderer (= most usually, a man who loves women). I can imagine such mischief being promoted only by users having a poor knowledge of English, or whose intention is deliberately to confuse and obfuscate.

Anything but delete Whatever Terekeme may mean, Karapapak means "black hat", and is the name given them, assuming they are actually the same, by Russians.

Suspected bad faith nomination: the editor has just placed a comment on my shared ip page, from which this article was edited. the comment was about me supposedly "blanking" serbian film article, while i added pov tag (and a category). checking last nomination, which was relatively recent and retracted by nominator, testifies that motivation for this is not only bogus, but wastes community time. and yes, vanja bulic is a very well known journalist - just read last nomination. 213.198.221.171 (talk) 22:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At the previous AfD nomination, the nominator did not give a good reason for it's deletion; he should have used WP policies and guidelines to support his claims. This is why that nomination was a bad faith nomination, but that does not make this one bad faith; I expressed a concern that this topic may not meet the notability guidelines listed above. As I've already told you, WP:NOTAGAIN is not a valid argument to use in deletion discussions.Qxukhgiels (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the previous nomination does not seem to be bad faith nomination; the nominator was not knowledgeable about the subject, and it was poorly sourced. your nomination seems to be in bad faith, because of its motivation, as explained, and also because the previous nomination had a discussion that refuted all your supposed points. thus, i highly suspect that you did not nominate this because of your issue as you claim (though you put supposedly supportive policies), but because you checked what articles were edited from ip that edited page serbian film, that you claimed was "blanking". either that, or it is a weird coincidence. in any case, i believe this is bad faith nomination, which has nothing to do with the merits of the subject of the article (which is, as can be easily seen from discussion before, both notable, and satisfies all the criteria that you claim are basis for deletion - both author, and reliable sources etc; but that is no surprising, since your motivation is in something elese apparently). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.221.171 (talk) 21:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unstruck. You don't get to strike other people's comments, particularly not in a deletion debate where you were the nominator, and especially not for spurious reasons.

Aboubacar Camara (footballer born 1983)[edit]

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

I cannot find any sources about this footballer, even to establish his existence; all are rather about Titi Camara, who shares the same first and last name but was born in 1972. The article creator has added only general pages that require searching, and those where I have been able to search (some do not respond when I try to search) are listing only Titi Camara. The article still has 2 footnotes (2 others were removed in a recent edit as useless), so the "unreferenced BLP" tag is strictly inappropriate, but none of the 4 mentions this Aboubacar Camara.

Delete. Of the clubs mentioned in the subject's career infobox, only two were playing in a fully professional league (as per the footballer-specific notability criteria at WP:NFOOTBALL) at the time he supposedly played for them. The Turkish Football Federation website helpfully lists each club's squad for each season: Mr Camara doesn't appear in Elazigspor's squad for 2000/01 or 2001/02 (select season from dropdown menu in Team Staff section and click on search). Nor does he appear in ForaDeJogo.net's squad list for Estrela Amadora for 2002/03. As GiantSnowman says above, there's no-one of this name/dob on the NFT international players database. I can't find any evidence of this person's existence, let alone as a footballer in a fully professional league, and certainly not as an influential international player, which the article implies.

List of female supervillains[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

I'm nominating this list for deletion as this is an unverifiable original research. Also, the term "supervillain" itself cannot be well-defined, which further supports the fact that it cannot be verified. The problem is here since 2007 (see the previous AfDs), therefore it is highly unlikely that this article will be fixed. Hence this article satisfies WP:DEL#REASONs #6,7. It also fails all five criteria of WP:GNG, especially "significance in coverage". Lastly, Wikipedia is not a publisher of fan inventions or directory. Therefore, it should be deleted.

They are called this in their own articles and even featured in Category:Female supervillains already. The list would be more useful with additional information added for each entry, listing their super power, and when they debuted, and in what comic book. Dream Focus 19:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does it make the group notable? Besides, every claim on "super power" and "villainity" needs to be sourced on the list, and I see none.Forbidden User (talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It does not. As long as that information is in the article being linked to, its fine. Dream Focus 13:40, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it cites no RS to prove its notability, our deltion policy says we delete it — the MoS guideline cannot defend it.Forbidden User (talk) 19:02, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, deletion policy says we delete it if it is impossible to cite a RS to prove its notability. The lack of sources actually cited in the article is not a cause for deletion of the entire article. JulesH (talk) 21:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as complement to Category:Female supervillains per WP:CLN, and as navigational list per WP:LISTPURP. As Dream Focus explains above, the claim that it's unverifiable whether a character is 1) female and a 2) supervillan is simply nonsense, as the original sources almost always use the label of "superhero" or "supervillain". Citing to the previous AFDs is no help to the nominator, as both closed as "keep" and did not raise the same arguments so they are hardly evidence of an unresolved "problem" existing "since 2007". postdlf (talk) 20:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is nonsense to say that the problem is not here in 2007, as the noms both raise the same problems I raise. Your "always" claim is unsupported as well. Anyway, WP:N is the relevant guideline here. Throwing others are not really useful.Forbidden User (talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it has no point, then it is meningless not to delete it. We're not stupid, it is common sense not to have pointless stuff.Forbidden User (talk) 19:02, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The point is a complementary navigational index. Plus it has the potential to be annotated and organized in different ways, which the category cannot. But I shouldn't have to tell you that if you've already read through WP:CLN, particularly WP:NOTDUP. postdlf (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While comic relief is of course valued on WP, and makes it into quite a few essays, including the Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose that NOTSTUPID references, I have always felt that the comic essays were almost universally the worst essays, that their value as humor was the grease that slid them in, where their sheer value as policy was lacking. I am frankly horrified to see that an ad nauseum/WP:BLUDGEONing away at the reader with five or so reiterations of the phrase "bad idea" has actually made it onto the WP:NOT page, which is actually a Policy rather than an essay. More to the point of this discussion, NOTSTUPID is a derivative of Ignore All Rules. Anyone can fly IAR up the flagpole at any time; what is important is to say WHY you think that this particular usage of a rule is wrong in this case.

I should add, that the point is not whether you, one editor alone consider it pointless or not. The point is that the policy discussion, long ago, involving dozens of editors, and the tacit acceptance of the outcome of the discussion by thousands more editors is relevant. WP:CONSENSUS has determined that cats and lists are not redundant to each other. The argument that it is pointless is not irrelevant to a new discussion about the relationship between cats and lists, but good luck finding anyone who wants to debate that, basically. Already decided. Anarchangel (talk) 00:40, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask why do you think that I think WP:NOTDUP does not apply? By the way, complaining about comic essays is not the point here......Forbidden User (talk) 11:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable subject. Not redundant to a category, as the article includes information on publisher that would otherwise not be included in navigation. Could also be extended to include additional information (e.g. year of first appearance would be a useful addition IMO). JulesH (talk) 21:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been done and limited improvements to improve this over a category hasn't happened yet. I'll do some work, but as a matter of reference, most of these villains already contain numerous links to their criteria and portrayal in media. I'll keep to the easier lists which are ever present to start with. WP:NOTDUP clearly applies and we should aim for a little more than a mere list. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 01:55, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Several book sources exist to cover this from a non-primary aspect:

The Superhero Book: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Comic-Book Icons and Hollywood Heroes
The Science of Supervillains By Lois H. Gresh, Robert Weinberg
Supervillains and Philosophy: Sometimes, Evil is its Own Reward by Ben Dyer
Superheroes V Supervillains: The Ultimate Guide to the Greatest Superheroes of All Time by Sarah Oliver
The Physics of Superheroes: Spectacular Second Edition By James Kakalios
A Brief History of Marvel Comics, the Marvel Universe, Its Superheroes and Supervillains by Holly Simon
Marvel Comics in the 1970s: An Issue-by-Issue Field Guide to a Pop Culture Phenomenon by Pierre Comtois

For something like a mere "do you define X as Y" this covers it well on all fronts. It is complete over kill let alone the media and other sites which frequently do their own "top 10" of types. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's quite a lot of books. I saw three really talking about supervillains. However, I'm talking about clarity in definition besides coverage. If the definition is mingled and blur, how is this list supposed to be built? However, I do have an idea of splitting this long list into several ones. E.g. One about Marvel supervillains, one about Disney supervillains, ... Perhaps this is an alternative. Forbidden User (talk) 17:23, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article links to supervillainess, so the definition is easy to find. Dream Focus 00:38, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Initially written as an advertisement, subject appears to be failing Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for biographies because it lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources. It does not even meet WP:ANYBIO standard. What I find, are passing mentions somewhere under cast section, of the films she is supposed to appear into. There is NOT even a single line dedicate to her in any of the reliable sources, I see. I may be wrong. But again, bring out sources that establish her notability, if there are really any.

Delete. Does not meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG, I'm afraid (and that's probably true for most of the Wikibomb2014 articles). Freeman's h-index is 5 by my count (being careful not to confuse her with Angela B Freeman, a US cancer researcher). There may be news coverage of Freeman's government work for WP:PROF#C7 or WP:GNG, but I can only find one article ([17]). Essentially, this is an example of someone who does critically important agricultural work, but "flies under the radar" from a notability point of view. Draftifying is a waste of time, since most of the Wikibomb2014 articles were added by temporary editors, and any remaining Wikibomb2014 energy should go to articles closer to the notability borderline. -- 101.117.108.126 (talk) 00:37, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added references, the album has sold over 100,000 copies in America alone, that should make it meet the guidelines and I have found and added more reviews which Walter couldn't find. Lukejordan02 (talk) 14:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You added a link to http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Lamb_of_God/New_American_Gospel/183, which isn't a reliable source, a web store, again not a reliable source, and a primary source from the band itself. That goes to support my statement that I couldn't find any additional reliable sources. The metal-archives.com lists additional reviews though. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. After Walter Görlitz prodded this last month I turned it into a redirect, because I agreed at the time that it was unlikely to be notable. Looking at it again in light of the sources dug up by Lukejordan02 I think the handful of reviews are are probably enough to satisfy WP:GNG, though of course better referencing would be ideal. Perhaps a request at WP:RX would be fruitful. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:41, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Major (read studio album) by a well-known band. If this were something like a limited edition or regional EP, then I'd agree on deleting, but as an album-level release, my opinion is that it should stay.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 19:51, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't matter if the album is from a major or a minor artist, each album must have its own level of notability. Albums cannot piggyback on the notability of the creator. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:50, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - As someone more inclined to inclusionism than not, my opinion remains unchanged. While it is not a work I personally am familiar with (not really a LOG fan), I feel that its status as a studio album is notability on its own, being that it was released by a fairly big act. Again, if it were the 2001 Eastern Canada Club Tour EP, I'd agree with you, but I feel LP albums have more notability on the basis of being albums, and the act which recorded them.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 23:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But this album is notable. Lukejordan02 (talk) 04:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: Looks like there might just be enough out there to meet WP:GNG and WP:NALBUMS. I'm thinking that since it's by a band as big as Lamb of God, there probably exist more offline sources (in print magazines) that could be used as well. The Metal-Archives reference should be removed though, as it is definitely not a reliable source. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 02:25, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for non-notability. The poor guy doesn't even have enough fans to edit the article, he is doing it all for himself.[21][22] - Sweet Nightmares 16:50, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "official website" is just product advertisement (aimed at the very very gullible): "His philanthropy, exemplary devotion, and humanitarian aid have become a source of inspiration for millions of people on the planet.". :) Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 01:33, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Official websites" are almost always for promotional purposes — that's the very nature of the beast, and its why we don't accept them as sufficient referencing in and of themselves to support encyclopedia articles. But the fact that his own website is promotional is irrelevant, if the reliable sourcing is present to counter its advertorial tendencies with neutral content — and as of now, that sourcing is present. Bearcat (talk) 01:45, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article as written is definitely problematic, but he unconditionally passes WP:NMUSIC #8 on the basis of three Juno Award nominations (Most Promising Male Vocalist in 1991 and both Francophone Album of the Year and Artist of the Year in 1993). The sourcing problems likely result from the fact that at the time he was credited as Francis Martin rather than as Kaya, which is a new stage name he adopted in 2011 after several years out of the business (see [23], for starters.) Keep, I'll work on cleaning it up. Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've convinced me. Keep, then. Here's a list of the awards and references:

1993 - Male Vocalist of the Year[24]
1993 - Best Selling Francophone Album[25]
1991 - Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year[26]

- Sweet Nightmares 17:40, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've had my eye on this thing for ages and, yes, it is pretty bad but the awards make him notable. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've added quite a bit of referencing — certainly some more would still be a good idea, but the challenge is that I don't have access to a database archive of French-language media from the 1990s (which is when the largest amount of coverage of him would have been published), so I have to rely mainly on web-accessible sources for the moment — and have toned down some of the promotional language and the trivia. One problem I'm still having is that while I'm finding a lot of general acknowledgements that he recorded two unsuccessful albums before his commercial breakthrough, I'm not finding hide nor hair of their titles (there's one pre-Drôle album credited to him by discogs.com, but for a variety of reasons I'm not confident enough that it's really him, rather than a different musician who merely happened to have the same name, to add it here without another source for confirmation.) However, even as a still imperfect work in progress it's in considerably better shape than it was at the time of nomination. Bearcat (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This calls him "One of the biggest names in British music videos" and suggests that he has won multiple awards (as does this). Here's a Music week article confirming one of the awards mentioned. This is pretty good as well. A Google search for Wiz "factory films" or Wiz "oil factory" does confirm many of the credits for the videos claimed, even if it doesn't turn up much in the way of material talking directly about him. I think there's enough there. His name, incidentally, appears to be "WIZ" (without the periods) in most sources. Black Kite (talk) 21:52, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ANYBIO says "a well-known and significant award or honor." Getting an MBE certainly helps. But some honor handed out en masse by one particular leader in one country is not automatically "significant." This appears to be a less exclusive honor than several related ones. The relevant article indicates there is no stated limit to how many MBEs can be awarded in a given year. Have any such honors been handed out to persons for things other than great achievements, such as to curry political favor, or to a friend of no particular accomplishments? What if the leader of any other country of population 60 something million handed out an honor to someone. Automatically notable as well? We should not hand over the keys to Wikipedia notability to any one national leader with a box full of ribbons to hand out each year. There should still be reliable sources to satisfy WP:BIO.

I've added two citations - one is from an English-language list of Virtuti Militari recipients.

How is this article different from List of artists influenced by Madonna or List of artists influenced by Beyoncé? Malcolmo (talk) 12:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The main Madonna biography article is VERY large and the list of artists influenced by her (which is very extensive purely from a numbers standpoint) uses more than 200 sources - obviously, that's well warranted. The Beyoncé one could easily be kept in her main article as well, but that's not what we're discussing. See WP:WAX. –Chase (talk / contribs) 17:36, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well the article is well-sourced. And the list of artists influenced by her is also very, very lengthy. You can't possibly fit the article with Brandy's main biography, which is also rather extensive. No artist is listed without a proper source. Malcolmo (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It already fits perfectly fine in the legacy section of Brandy's article without the excess fluff (which resembles a fansite more than an encyclopedia), trivial information ("So-and-So is my favorite Brandy album!", etc.), and excessive quotes. And there are several artists listed without sources. –Chase (talk / contribs) 23:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not trivial information, it is crucial to the actual article, and describes how a plethora of leading artists within a genre have acknowledged her as an inspiration to her work. It seems as if you are downplaying the entire genre of R&B music right now... These quotes are not invented and far from fansite-ish. They are actual statements by professionals within the business. Find me an artist in the list that has no source attached? Clearly the article is vaild and should be kept, wether it can be improved, that is another debate.

Malcolmo (talk) 22:15, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What Chase is really getting at is that this page is a WP:CFORK. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:11, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- - But whoever claims so, is wrong. The content of this article is not to be found in Brandy's main article. And it wouldn't make sense to merge the list to her main biography. The list is long enough to have its own article. And there is additional explanation, which is also sourced as a context as to why this list makes sense.

Delete. This is essentially a college summer project by a group (CHRIJ) at Boston College that is run by university students and faculty. Like most college projects (from any time of year), it hasn't achieved any true attention from any media outlet- other than the college's own newspaper. If the group itself had an entry I'd suggest redirecting there, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry and I'm unsure as to whether or not the CHRIJ would really qualify for one. It's a noble attempt (the declaration) at trying to solve a very pressing issue, but it hasn't received any coverage to speak of and fails notability guidelines. Of course there's also the issue that it reads like the CHRIJ is trying to use Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX for their viewpoints, so even if there was coverage we'd likely still have to WP:TNT the article to remove all of the promotional and non-neutral viewpoints- but there isn't any, so delete.

Delete outrageously polemical POV article, with an intrinsic bias that cannot be corrected; it's not about a "reform"--it's about an attack by[ the CNEPR on another organization. The UNRW 's actions in the area have indeed been in the news lately, and are noteworthy enough for a section in the article on that group, where it already is--as Dian Kjaergaard recognizes.

I agree it is still in need of radical reform to be encyclopaedic. As to the issue of notability, there are clear secondary sources. Cpsoper (talk) 21:30, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are no secondary sources. The 2 press article given in the articles are not enough to assess any notoriary but they don't even mention any "UNRWA Reform Initiative". They just report unfamous propaganda around the refugees and the right of return :

"The United Nations Relief and Work Agency is the only UN refugee agency dedicated to a single group of people. It is the only agency that designates individuals as original refugees if they lived in the area for a minimum of two years, that acknowledges the descendants of original refugees as refugees as well, and the only one that actively encourages its clients to act on their “right of return.”

This has no notoriaty among scholars. For an organisation more than 60 years old, that's what we would need to keep this article.

Pluto2012 (talk) 09:04, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now re-organized the article on UNRWA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Relief_and_Works_Agency_for_Palestine_Refugees_in_the_Near_East. I have not removed any content, but tried to show a clean, clear structure throughout. I have changed two or three wordings to make them more neutral and added a bit of material and references. The next step will be to merge any useful UNRWA criticism points from this page (U.R.I.) to the UNRWA article. Then I will re-write the U.R.I. so that it describes the focus and results of the initiative rather than the broad background which has now been clarified in the UNRWA article. The U.R.I. article will also include some references to documentation, publications, etc, instead of including a huge list. I need a for more days to do this. Dian Kjaergaard (talk) 21:51, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

what I think you may have done is add a somewhat disproportionate amount of negative material to that article. I remind you about the need for cautious editing in in this area. DGG ( talk ) 04:50, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DGG: I think if you look carefully, I have actually added to the UNRWA article many positive things and acknowledgement of how difficult UNRWA's work is.

I think the reason you think there is more negative material is because I have used structure to reveal clearly what was already written in the article! Please re-read in the light of this information. And if you have specific suggestions for trimming, let me know. I fully support the need for dispassionate care.

Note also that the article has a very large amount of neutral and positive information about UNRWA which editors (not sure who) have pointed out is poorly documented. I would be willing to help clean that up, too!

Finally - please check the URI stub.Dian Kjaergaard (talk) 11:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes,some of it is in the presentation. including the wide spacing of the material and the breaking of related material into separate paragraphs. But some of it is also in the wording, and in reporting such things as investigations by the US Congress as if they proved the facts alleged, and using an excessive number of quotes from those taking one side of the issue,and including sentences and words of evaluation ("However, there seem to be some serious problems". There are also some selective presentations of facts: "Pinner wrote in 1959 that the number of refugees...."); Pinner is not a neutral source, but a committed advocate, and the data he asserts is half a century old, yet presented in the article as part of the analysis of the current situation. As for balance, sections 6, 7, sand 8, almost all of which is negative, occupy about 70% of the article in length (not word count). I give the same advice as I give with my usual area, commercial COI: minimize adjectives.

I think your work does have considerable merit, and I offer these as suggestions on what to look at. I hope you will do some appropriate editing at integrating the material. Further discussion does not really belong here--I have copied our exchange over to the article talk p., DGG ( talk ) 19:03, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you DGG - let us continue on the URI page itself - and on the main UNRWA page itself. I think our collaboration could be very fruitful. 87.49.173.182 (talk) 15:49, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll comment a little on the main article page, but I generally try to avoid controversial political subjects. (For one thing, I generally want to retain the ability to use admin actions if needed). However, I think there is no reason for a separate page and no reason to comment there. It's as if we had separate pages for for the various individual initiatives of particular pressure and advocacy groups. The information belongs in two places only: First, the article on the group, if it is one of their major initiatives, and then the focus is on their participation, not the general issue--a link to it is normally sufficient. Second, the article on the matter at controversy, if they are one of the major participants as judged by people external to the group, and then only in proportion to the amount devoted to other participants in the debates. If groups A B, C, D .... Z all support or oppose something, we don't report separately in individual sections on what each of them have to say, nor do we necessarily include quotations from all of them--only from those that, based on outside comments, seem to be paid the most attention to. Anything more than that amounts to advocacy, not encyclopedic reporting. DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Religious symbolism of unity of opposites[edit]

Delete Normally my rule of thumb is to tread very gently when the subject is religion and to give as much latitude as possible when articles on religious topics show up at AfD. In my experience that has usually been how the community seems to work as well. But this article fails pretty much every test we have. To be frank I can't really even grasp what the subject is. The sources hugely fail RS and I can't find anything on Google that remotely supports a case for notability. Only the fact that this is a religiously themed article prevents me from treating it as a suspected hoax or maybe an A-11 CSD. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge some of the content which might be salvaged (with better source references) into unity of opposites. Other parts of the article should be discarded if unverifiable. Gccwang (talk) 03:06, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. I get what the article is trying to say: basically, it's looking at "unity of opposites" in religious symbols. Basically, it's a list of religious symbols that hold two meanings that are normally seen as distinctly separate but are united in the religious symbol. For example, the ankh can mean both death/life and male/female. I get where they're trying to go with this and it's not something that's just made up since it is referenced somewhat in various different texts (examples: [34], [35], [36], [37], [38]. [39], [40]). However the problem here is that there isn't a lot of stuff that specifically focuses on religious symbolism. It's mentioned somewhat in passing and often vaguely referred to, but for the most part this is pretty much WP:OR on behalf of the article creator because it's not exactly explicitly stated in the way that Wikipedia seems to like. I agree that the symbols they've listed would fall under the banner of "Religious symbolism of unity of opposites" and if they were writing a paper on this, I'd read it. In any case, I'm leaning towards merging some of this into unity of opposites and listing parts of it as an example. The ankh should be easy enough to verify since there are multiple sources that talk about the symbol's dual nature, but other parts will likely be a little bit harder. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:29, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. There is no evidence that the article under discussion is not WP:SYNTH. It does seem likely that out there somewhere in the scholarly literature are accounts addressing the presumptive topic of the article as a whole. But unless and until the article is written based on such sources, I think the article should be deleted as OR. Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:40, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would also sanction a smerge to the existing unity of opposites article. At least some of the references could possibly incorporated there, but others have expressed concern over the quality of those references, so I leave the matter to better minds. Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge sourced material with Unity of opposites. The real topic seems the concept being a part of religious teachings and traditions. I don't see much value in bringing together the symbols of this in one list (besides it being OR.) Anyway the other article could use more information on religion to balance out some of its emphasis on Marxist philosophy. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm concerned that this jumble of religious symbolism does not actually reflect any scholarship - it seems to be purely the result of a small number of editor's opinions. Without reliable sources there is no way to know if these religious concepts share any common features, hence it's safer to just get rid of this kind of content. It's useless and has no encyclopedic value. --Salimfadhley (talk) 17:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As an "IP", I'm not sure if I can "vote"; however, I'd like to comment that this is potentially a valid WP topic. As it currently stands it is woefully lacking in WP:RS-es.

I suggest that for now it be converted to an annotated list. In addition, please note that the Wikipedia: Deletion policy does *not* include a currently poorly sourced article as a reason for deletion; instead: "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" [or] "cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources."

The article topic is by virtual definition, a syncretism; the source is a peer-reviewed journal, and as such is a secondary source which is preferred in the WP-sense. An "academic source" would tend to be a primary source, and thus is less-preferred. And tangentially, just because Joseph Campbell represents a "typical" viewpoint (rather than a "scolarly" one), it would be no less valid as far as WP is concerned.
