• Procedural keep - Winner of a national title in a beauty pageant, going on to represent her country in both Miss Universe AND Miss World. That is usually sufficient for a stub article such as this. Personally, I'm indifferent, but precedent is precedent. It just needs a couple of valid sources to show that she DID hold these titles, and they're almost definitely out there - if only Google hadn't FUBAR their news archive search. Incidentally, the name is misspelled - it should be Alfina Nassyrova (2 S's) Mabalu (talk) 10:51, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really don't want to look through the Google hits at work but will have a look at home later. I'd note that the article itself is, apart from the one sentence on her education, a very appropriate, straightforward stub article which gives the bare basics as to why this woman is notable.

This nomination is the continuation of the discussion held here: User_talk:Dsimic#Re:_List_of_M.2_SSDs_as_a_section_in_the_M.2_article with User:Dsimic and User:Jeh. This articles is part of the series of articles that I and other participants of the said discussion feel should be deleted because:

• Article violates WP:SPAM policy as it is biased toward certain manufacturers, because it does not contain all the smartphones that exist. Listing some manufacturers and products, but not others is not neutral, and lists like this can never be neutral, so it should be deleted.
• It is almost impossible to make it up-to date, which makes it per se incorrect. Article that is per se incorrect should be deleted.
• Article violates WP:IINFO as it contains "excessive listings of statistics" but it does not "contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader".

Two similar articles are now already deleted after those discussions: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of stackable switches and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of displays by pixel density. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:09, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: this comparison requires clean up per WP:WTAF, but not deletion. Per WP:LSC it should not even attempt to encompass all smartphones that ever existed, but rather only compare notable models. Given this severe scope limitation, it is very easy to keep this comparison up to date. I am unsure about WP:IINFO claim, as the article contains absolutely no statistical data. Furthermore, nom's concerns are applicable to the whole genre of product comparisons; as such, these concerns should be expressed (and addressed if consensus is gathered) at WT:SAL, not in individual AfD for one of such comparisons. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 18:46, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • How do you mean "the article contains absolutely no statistical data"? It contain only the statistical data. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:38, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per User:Czarkoff. The criteria being used in this and similar AfDs are absurdly wide - not only do they seem to apply to any articles whatever on product comparisons, but the first two would also seem to apply equally to any lists, or for that matter to any articles or mentions, of products or manufacturers, however well-sourced, anywhere in Wikipedia. Such lists certainly need to be restricted to products notable enough, if not for a standalone article, at least a substantial sourced mention in (and redirect to) another Wikipedia article, the class of products concerned needs to be one compared in reliable sources, and the features compared not only need to be verifiable for the listed products but also ones which reliable sources regularly discuss when describing or comparing the products. But this article (I think unlike the ones in the previous AfDs mentioned) comes close enough that, even once the non-notable products are trimmed from the comparison, the article will still be of sufficient length to stay as SPLIT from its parent article. PWilkinson (talk) 12:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per User:Czarkoff and User:PWilkinson , it's a useful list, WP:IINFO doesn't apply, nor does WP:SPAM. XeroxKleenex (talk) 07:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, it is possibly useful, but we have WP:USEFUL for that. Comparing devices like this, selecting which models to feature and which features to include, is an inherently WP:POV activity. Lets leave this sort of thing to tech sites and blogs, where it belongs. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:26, 13 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Selection criterion is WP:N in this list. What point of view does it represent, exactly? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • More than a half of the entries are totally unreferenced. Those that are referenced, cite either official web sites of the manufacturer or some sites dedicated purely to technical characteristics of phones (like this). There is not a single independent source with significant coverage. I don't understand what type of WP:N is you talking about? By the way, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable (WP:NOTESAL), so your argument is irrelevant. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Please see WP:CSC. This list may live if it complies with first set of criteria. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 15:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. Just whatever random people show up at these things, determine whether articles that are basically the same are kept or deleted. ENT #1 is clearly met. Primary sources are fine to prove the person was in the films with the parts they are said to have. Dream Focus 18:15, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to say about this person, and given their apparent retirement, there will continue to be nothing to say about this person for the foreseeable future. That is the essence of non-notability. Feel free to prove me wrong if you can find the sources. --erachima talk 18:38, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not some magical card you can wave to justify all voice actor articles. Primary sources can be used to say something, they do not make a person notable, WP:Basic tells us this. WP:ENT does not make an article or subject immune from the same fundamental requirements we make of other articles. In the case of this particular individual, the amount of roles attributed it so small that it's debatable if they really qualify as a voice actor rather than someone who just happened to have done a couple of roles part time (not uncommon). Theres nothing here to suggest that any meaningful coverage is likely to exist, and coverage is more important than continually misunderstanding notability guidelines. In fact, it being an unsourced article about as living person is enough reason to delete it, regardless of anything else.SephyTheThird (talk) 20:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable book. The true story of two young girls (age 11 and 16) who suffer and recover from transverse myelitis, written and self-published by the young girls themselves. Promoted by the TM Association, to whom the girls are donating part of the proceeds, and probably notable within the TM community, but not generally notable.

I nominate this page for deletion. Even though it redirects to Nibelungenlied, there is absolutely no reason for this page to exist. It contains a glaring German grammatical error: the article for Nibelungenlied is Das, not Die, since Lied is a neuter noun, not feminine. One might say: "What's the harm, if it's simply a redirect page?". Well the existence of this page is harmful because it diseducates, as it creates the false impression in a user who stumbles into it that the article for Nibelungenlied is Die, when it is not!

Article (probably autobiography) about a 19-year-old Indian who has invented a method of dividing by zero and has "developed a new supercomputer based on his own invented mathematical formulae." Originally a user page, but during WP:Miscellany for deletion/User:Theindianicon he moved it to mainspace, so it must now be assessed as an article. I considered speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7, but there is certainly an assertion of significance and (since one reference shows him as a speaker about his theory at a conference) one can just about argue that it passes the credible assertion test. However, apart from that conference, I see no evidence that anyone else takes his theories or his supercomputer seriously. JohnCD (talk) 14:56, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I've seen the patent application, and I'm afraid that applying for or getting a patent is not an indication of notability. Addressing a conference on a subject may indicate that someone has taken notice of something, but there are conferences and conferences. Quite a lot of academics get invitations to speak at conferences that are really fund-raising events for the benefit of the organisers (scams), while other conferences are minor and mainly for the kudos of hosting a conference at or by a particular institution or publication. Others still are of international note. The one in question in the reference above appears to be the first one of its title and it seems to have reached at least the third one by now. Which raises a point - the paper was read in 2011. Presented in a parallel session rather than a whole conference session, it seems to have had little impact. The newspaper article, with a photo as big as (if not bigger than) the text, seems hardly an in depth coverage to judge by the Google translation (which I will admit is less than good - we could do to have a speaker of the language look at it). It must be remembered that if Einstein had posted an article on Relativity a day after his theory was made known, it would have been deleted. This has had three years (and no indication even of the patent being granted - can one patent a mathematical process?). Whether or not the method works, it's the notability that's at question.

• Redirect to Robert_McCammon#Bibliography. I found a Kirkus review and evidence of a Publishers Weekly review, but neither of those would really keep the article on their existence alone and there's really nothing out there. He was a known writer in the horror genre by this point but he didn't really gain more mainstream coverage until later on down the line. I'd recommend redirecting it to McCammon's article.

• Keep. Aside from the reviews mentioned above -- which are themselves strong evidence that much more substantial coverage exists in print form -- it's also easy to turn up, for example, a review where PW treats the novel as a genre standard [23]. Google is dreadful as a search tool for book reviews and related coverage -- especial with the GNews archive offline -- and the standard book review indices are paywalled or offline entirely. Those are not good reasons to gut Wikipedia's coverage of all but the top-tier of pre-Internet-published fiction and literature ,at least until Wikipedia decides its goal is to present "the sum of all human knowledge that's already easy to access via Google."

• Keep. Well, the Google News Archive isn't offline. It's still quite available, and we even link to it above. I found a review by the Associated Press. I don't usually buy into WP:MUSTBESOURCES arguments, but I think that maybe there is enough evidence of notability here to make it at least debatable. Plus, this isn't some unknown hack who never got any press. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:11, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This orphaned BLP has been unsourced since 2010. The source cited as a reference is an interview from a possibly unreliable source lacking independent coverage of the subject. I was unable to find any sources (searching in both English and Arabic), and found no evidence of notability as an academic in GScholar. Admittedly searching for Arabic sources is a challenge, but the Arabic version of the article is no better and the French article only cites the same interview as a source.

SQRL[edit]

SQRL (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Likely does not currently meet WP:GNG. Could not find any mainstream sources on this. All sources referring to this not from the author seem to be blogs or online discussion fora, and all of those are from immediately after the initial announcement. There are some people working on client implementations, but no secondary sources indicating that any major sites even have plans to adopt it. Per WP:GNG and WP:CBALL, I propose that the article be deleted with no prejudice against re-creation if it becomes widely adopted or picks up any mainstream coverage in the future. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 14:36, 23 July 2014 (UTC) 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 14:36, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you clarify what the "several reliable sources" are that you're referring to? Beyond the primary sources (which don't establish notability), the closest thing to a reliable source is the TechRepublic blog post, which has other problems with it (as discussed in my other reply below). As for your other points, we don't delete articles because they are orphaned or because they aren't getting enough pageviews. Those are not valid criteria for judging whether or not something gets its own article. If it's a common search term but the concept isn't notable, we can redirect the article to another article with relevant information (e.g. we can add some mention of SQRL to the relevant section of the QR codes page), but that should have no bearing on the deletion discussion. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 16:10, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reliability of the TechRepublic blog is less important than the fact that the article itself doesn't really establish notability. It's essentially just a writeup of what I assume was a press release that accompanied the release of SQRL. Even if one source on a tech newsblog were sufficiently reliable, it's not clear that this doesn't violate WP:NOTNEWS (since there hasn't really been any coverage of this since the initial announcement). 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 16:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I looked around some more and found what might be more reliable sources indicating notability. Here is a talk at a developer conference about the implementation of SQRL by someone I assume is not associated with Gibson. Here is a bachelor's thesis on the topic of implementing SQRL (again, not published in a peer-reviewed journal). Here is something which looks to be an analysis of various visual identification schemes, including SQRL. Again, this doesn't seem to be something published in a peer-reviwed journal. Overall, I'm not totally convinced here - you can't cobble together notability out of a bunch of half-reliable sources, but I thought it would be irresponsible not to mention what I've found. It may well be that, in a vacuum, I would believe that this is notable, but the grandiose, unsubstantiated claims about being "in talks with the W3C" (plus if you'll notice the HTML5 developer's conference abstract says that SQRL "set the internet on fire", which doesn't seem super accurate given how hard it's been to find any discussion of this more than a month or two out from the first announcement) and such have set my expectations too high, and biased me against a neutral assessment of the notability of this topic. I'd say that I'm changing my vote (presumptively "Delete" because I'm the nominator) to Weak delete in light of this new evidence. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 14:58, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is after all all about providing information based on facts freely donated by the public for the public for a common cause.

I myself don't immediately find any direct connection to Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith in award-winning The Pursuit of Happiness) but there could be one, given the stockbroker was homeless in the Tenderloin district. Organization's website says it was founded in 1967, the Oakland Tribune 2006 article describes it as having opened in 1967 in response to Summer of love young people coming to San Francisco, within its article about the arts program. Substantial coverage, obvious notability. --doncram 10:28, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is an AFD. "AFD is not for cleanup" is an expression per many, and there's no requirement for the current article to have any sources at all, even. Simply, the topic meets wp:GNG, as multiple reliable sources solely or substantially about the organization are known to exist, have been given by me. "Supposed links"??? Sorry the Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Oakland Tribune articles about the organization are not online as far as i know, and sorry that you don't have convenient access to them. Since you ask, i'll put in on my to-do list to use the off-line material to develop this article a bit within a few weeks (and feel free to follow up with me at my Talk page), but that is NOT necessary for decision on this AFD. For now, call for closure: obvious KEEP. --doncram 12:39, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

its not an obvious keep, and it is entirely necessary to provide references to show notability. its true, if nothing exists online, thats a problem. If you can find offline references that are substantially about the org, then the article can be recreated without prejudice. you already have called for keep, you dont need to say "keep" with each comment, and you DONT get to call for closure. and i never said this was about cleanup. i was saying that if you say there is a source, and dont add it to the article, and dont add it here, then where is it? even if listed here, we could close as keep and someone could add your ref to article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:20, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the nomination you said "the only references provided are an OP ED in a local paper, by the org, and the orgs website". Now that's no longer true; there are now multiple references in the article from national and international independent sources. But without missing a beat you changed your deletion rationale to BLP1E, without any acknowledgment that your earlier objections have been met. And before that you dismissed doncram's multiple articles from major national sources which are obviously and significantly about this organization, rejecting them because they aren't available online (which is not a requirement for a source) and sneering at them as "supposed links" (aren't we supposed to AGF about offline sources?). One wonders what it would take to get you to acknowledge notability. --MelanieN (talk) 05:11, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

reliable sources which cover the subject in depth, and which are primarily about the subject, and show the subjects notability. most of the refs provided are about the runner, not about the organization itself. Yes, we have more refs. my original concern is no longer valid. we have at least 1 reliable source which mentions the organization objectively. but its still trival coverage, mostly secondary to the runner/artist, and shows only that its a small nonprofit, like the thousands of others in the bay area which dont have articles for the same reason. I assumed good faith and researched doncrams refs, and found them online (I may have used too long a search string initially when searching for refs, my error). i didnt add them to article, but provided them here. I am reading each new ref in its entirety, and i HOPE that enough refs can be found. I also wont object if this is kept based on what is now shown-its marginal at best, but i suppose marginal can go either way. thanks to all for the hard work involved.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to respond to the repeated claim that most of the coverage is about the runner: Right now the article contains 11 references, of which nine are independent sources.

We evaluated this article quite a bit on the WP:FTN page and the consensus is that the sources are all WP:PRIMARY or otherwise problematic from a WP:FRIND perspective. The issue here seems to be that there isn't a lot of independent sourcing that has gone on. The Ufology community discusses this incident with bated breath, but they have failed to convince any other external sources to take their claims seriously, apparently. Even the claims of mainstream notice made in the article have not borne fruit. A possible mention at List of UFO sightings might be okay, but redirecting to that page from the name of this article which is rather artificial (note the capitalized "Encounter" in violation of WP:MOS). jps (talk) 14:06, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per proposal. The coverage in RS is minimal to say the least. A mention at the List article is about all this is due. Is there any RS that supports notability that is not currently in the article? The article is well crafted so if additional sources to support it can be found I would reconsider.

• Redirect to List of UFO sightings. While Torres claims were oft repeated by the press as slow news day filler, the alleged "government cover up" is only UFOlogists anxious speculations. What we have left is one of many "false target" incidents common during the early days of radar and a pilot convinced it was something mysterious. [32] (A bit of fun trivia for those interested: pilots were warned not to talk about such incidents mainly so that Cold War foes would not learn of the numerous quirks, bugs, capabilities and limitations of US radar systems, not because of any "UFO" cover up.) - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:25, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This incident is already listed in List of UFO sightings, therefore, redirect would not be a favor/blessing/grace. Considering that the lead of List of UFO sightings reads as "..including supposed cases of reported close encounters and abductions", there is no irrationality here to include such cases in that list. Regarding the authenticity remarks: are we here to probe the articles with respect to wikipedia policies and guidelines, or to refute/debunk such sightings/encounters.

• Keep and Speedy Close I have to question this AFD nomination since its smells of WP:DONTLIKEIT not to mention that the WP:FRIND policy has problems in and of itself and is likely being abused by users who simply wanted to debunk UFO sightings and ufology encounters which is a blatant violation of WP:POINT.98.174.223.41 (talk) 14:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I do not object to a brief mention within List of UFO sightings, however, there is insufficient material in reliable sources to meet the WP:GNG criteria for a stand alone article.

• Comment -- I do not believe in UFOs, but this has the feel of being one of the classic cases that will be put forward by believers. My concern is that all the sources appear to be from 2008, precisly 50 years after the alleged event. A lot of journalists wrote up a story in 2008. Was this all based ona single press release from a UFO advocate? If so, did he have a good source? At some point all UFO records were declassified. If there was a contemporary report (even classified at the time), it should be possible to identify the report and cite it directly from a source in The National Archives or the American equivalent.

This is what I have gleaned from the two news reports I have found: [33][34]. In 1988, a UFO buff asks Torres if he ever saw a UFO and Torres tells him he saw a UFO in 1957. UFO buff asks Torres to write-up his account and sends it in a letter to the Ministry of Defense asking for an explanation. In October 2008, the letter and attachment are declassified and among those UFO files released as the UK Archives cleans house.[35] I'm not sure whether Torres or some other UFO buff is behind the press releases, but whatever hullabaloo exists hinges on the UFO buff's letter of inquiry with the attachment written by Torres. As far as I can tell, there is no other primary source documentation to support that Torres reported a UFO back in 1957 or that any government agency investigated the claim in 1957 or 1988 or at any other time. No one else has taken it seriously either, which explains why there is not enough reliable secondary source material to establish notability for a stand-alone article.

•  Delete  insufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. No in depth coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 19:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rian Johnson#Early life per Schmidt, (below). Changed based on quality of discussion. --Bejnar (talk) 12:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep film is notable. Neptune's Trident (talk) 21:47, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at WP:ITSNOTABLE which suggests that backup reasoning be explicated when making this assertion. --Bejnar (talk) 12:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"film is notable" doesn't cut it, Your comment will just be dismissed anyway!. –Davey2010 • (talk) 01:55, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect (& partial merge) this searchable title to Rian Johnson#Early life where it is already mentioned. An interesting situation. It does have mentions in books and articles that discuss it briefly in their speaking about the film Looper, and while it might be considered notable under WP:OEN as having a re-release more than five years after original release and for verifiably being the first film both written and directed by a notable filmmaker, it would make more sense to have this 8-minute black and white short film discussed in context to the career of its creator.

Object-oriented design ontology[edit]

Object-oriented design ontology (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This article is pure Original Research. There are no references to the actual topic. There are references to the concept of ontology and references to the fact that object-oriented methods clearly fall into subpart and sublcass hierarchies (as does just about any form of knowledge) but no references (and to my knowledge no such references currently exists, hence OR) to the actual topic. Also, as I documented on Talk page, if we keep this article why shouldn't we have a topic on EVERY possible topic that could be represented via an ontology, which would mean thousands of new topics since just about any form of structured information can be represented by an ontology.

Just want to add that since posting this I did another search. I found a couple of online sources that were relevant but they were a PhD or Masters thesis and a project site at a University computer science department. I do think it's not a bad idea and could see it meriting an article at some point but my interpretation of notable is that if the idea is at the thesis or school project level it's not yet article worthy. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 01:49, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
