  • Comment. You both need to read WP:PTM. At best, the entries have the words "behavior" and "theory" in their titles, at worst, they don't even do that. Perhaps it could be renamed List of behavior theories, but it is not a dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • When someone is referring to "behavior theory", which is quite common in psychology and sociology, they could be referring to any of the listed theories. This perfectly fits PTM because these theories ARE often just referred to as "behavior theory" when people are talking about them. SilverserenC 22:34, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because if you're trying to refer to a Ford Mustang specifically, calling it car isn't descriptive. However, if someone is talking about psychology and refers to behavior theory, another psychologist would know which theory is being spoken of, similarly if a sociologist spoke about behavior theory. Like PTM says, the Mississippi River is often called "the Mississippi", which is why it is included at the disambiguation page. SilverserenC 00:28, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I see the page creator has updated the social media/web links. So now there is a website (that contains no info about the supposed artist at all), a Twitter profile (with 5 followers), a Facebook page (with 24 likes) and a Soundcloud (with two followers, and one 30-second piece of music). So while I now think this guy exists, he still doesn't meet WP:N or WP:MUSICBIO. — sparklism hey! 05:28, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

I would like this page to be deleted mainly on the grounds that it is not historically accurate and seems to contain fictional material. Firstly the entire article is sourced from one, 17th-century source written by Sir Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet, which is known for its inaccuracies but can still often be used if balanced with accounts from other historians. The problem here is firstly that, the article which is about a battle between members of the Scottish Clan Mackay is not mentioned in either of the two main authorotive histories of the Clan Mackay: The Book of Mackay by Angus Mackay (1906) which is considered the definitive history of the clan makes no mention of it and neither does the History of the House and Clan of the Name Mackay by Robert Mackay (1829) which is also considered an authority on the subject. Secondly is the inconsistency with other Wikipedia articles which as I will explain may show fictional information: The story of this battle talks of in 1576 John Mackay, son of the dying Y Roy Mackay, chief of Clan Mackay and Neil Mackay, brother of the chief Y Roy Mackay. If you check the article Chiefs of Clan Mackay which has the definitive list of Mackay chiefs there is no mention of a chief called Iye (Y) Roy Mackay at this time (1576), as well as these other people not being found in the two authorotive Mackay histories previously mentioned. Therefore it would seem not only to be historically inaccurate but most probably fictional information which is a criteria for speedy deletion.

This is an autobiography (created by User:Ryemaybee, but extensively edited by User:Totosy, two being probably the same person). It was submitted to the WP:AFC process by User:Totosy, but was declined (Draft:Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek). The user nevertheless posted the article into the main namespace using his alternate account. The articles lacks reliable sources with significant coverage to prove the notability of the subject.

This was initially marked with an A7 speedy deletion, but as the game is not going to be web only it technically fails that guideline. I did find some coverage, but not nearly enough to warrant an article at this point in time.

Non-notable male pornstar (males should be held to a higher standard than the females, in my opinion). He has no awards. He is not the Hall of Fame.

The WP:Pornbio says at the top, "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." Look at the list of AVN Hall of Famers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_AVN_Hall_of_Fame They began inducting members in 1995, yet they already have over 200 inductees (count 'em -- over 200). By comparison, the MLB Hall of Fame has been active since the 1940s, and only 240 players have been inducted. The AVN Hall of Fame is a sham, and we shouldn't base notability solely on a person's inclusion therein. I believe the NY Times article is suspect, thereby making this article fail WP:GNG.

Non-notable pornstar. She has an AVN Award for Best New Starlet, which satisfies the additional criteria for WP:Pornbio, but she fails WP:GNG, based on the sources on her page. The only reference "independent of the subject" is a CNBC publicity-motivated, top-pornstar list. Everything else is the usual iafd, AVN, and such. Redban (talk) 18:25, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The CNBC article is straight junk, a list by someone likely as qualified as you or I. Moreover, the WP: GNG emphasizes "significant coverage [that] addresses the topic directly and in detail ... [and] is more than a trivial mention." That list gives a mere 50-word paragraph on Gracie, which is trivial. And the AVN article that you mention is not "Independent of the subject." The date of publication (2010) makes me believe Gracie's mention was to hype her upcoming appearance in the 2011 AVN-awards, where she won Best New Starlet. The page fails WP:GNG. Redban (talk) 20:59, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redban, Glam clearly passes PORNBIO so the whole discussion is quite moot, anyway as explained in our guidelines, "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." There is a big difference between a biographical paragraph enterely devoted to a subject and a "trivial mention" (eg. being cited in a list of names, see also the example of trivial mention cited in the guideline). About the 15-pages-long AVN article, it includes a few other biographies and apparently none of the portrayed people except Glam won an award the following year. Such series of yearly articles regularly include portraits of names who will not win nor won any award, and several names who are not even nominated to such awards (eg Amy Brooke in the article in question). It is perfectly reasonable that, in an article focusing on the big names of the year, one or even two of them will win an award one year later. We can agree the cited sources are here on the thin side, but your derogatory comments ("straight junk", "publicity-motivated article") and your speculations about date of publications, hype and so on, are just that, nothing more than speculations and personal opinions, and we don't delete articles on the basis of a random guy's personal bias, but just if they fail our policies and our guidelines. Cavarrone 22:46, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, Hullaballoo. If you look better the author of the article is Chris Morris ([31]), who is an established CNBC journalist. ([32]). Cavarrone 20:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, Cavarrone, I'm definitely right on this one. Morris isn't listed on either of the CNBC staff pages ("Anchors & Reporters" [33]; "Contributors" [34]). His own homepage describes as a freelance journalist identifies him as a "freelance writer and editor" with many clients including CNBC.[35] He sure looks like a reliable source for factual information, but his opinions are his own, and should not be credited to the editorial voice of his clients, or given the weight of them. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, ok, a freelance journalist, good investigation. We ultimately and definitely agree, he's a valid source for factual information, not for his opinions. Cavarrone 22:46, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Notability's there" -- how? From her winning the Best New Starlet AVN award? WP:Pornbio says at the top, "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." The award, by itself, doesn't grant notability. I don't find the CNBC and AVN sources enough to satify WP:GNG. Redban (talk) 23:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The award is not just an odd criterium of notability for pornographic actors, it is a basic criterium applied for ANY biography (see WP:ANYBIO#1). "Meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included" is not something relevant to PORNBIO, it is relevant to every specific biographical notability guideline, and you cannot cite the sentence out of context: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". furthermore "A person who fails to meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability." When Davey writes that "notability's there" he is entirely correct, community discussed literally for years notability criteria regarding pornographic actors which are actually quite strict, and winning an individual AVN award certainly meets the criteria. You need to have strong, specific arguments to ask for the deletion of an article about a subject who unambiguously passes our notability guidelines, and here you have not. Drop the stick. Cavarrone 00:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relax, no need to suggest blockages. By starting an AFD, I do not disrupt the website because the community collectively makes the call to delete, not I. In other words, I simply start the discussion; the others collectively provide the verdict.Redban (talk) 04:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Rebecca1990 is apparently right, you tried to keep Bitoni's article on the thin basis that "her twitter page has 134,000 followers" while "Gracie Glam has 91,000 followers on twitter", then, once Bitoni's article was deleted you tried to take revenge on Glam and others. Redban, you are a brand new editor, so you certainly have not yet read Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point, plus a bunch of other guidelines and policies. We don't keep or delete articles on the basis of our personal tastes, this is not WIKIPEDIA:THE GAME nor the deletion discussions are a popularity test, we just judge articles because on their compliance with guidelines. Nominating articles on subjects you know they are notable plus being combative and polemic towards everyone disagrees with you just because you are frustated IS disruptive and at best it is a giant waste of time for the community who could spend their time doing something better than commenting in such odd discussions. Cavarrone 08:15, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Rebecca's comments amount to a bad faith attempt to intimidate a relatively new user editing in good faith from taking positions she opposes. While "Best New Starlet" is an award that by consensus is prima facie evidence of notability, that result was hardly undisputed. The position Redban takes here -- that winning the award is insufficient to sustain an article without other significant coverage in reliable sources -- may not be artfully stated in this discussion, but it lines up with the positions taken by other, more experienced editors in the extensive discussions we've had about PORNBIO, as, for example, here [36]. It's inappropriate for an editor on one side of an ongoing dispute is bound by limits that their side regularly ignores. This is ultimately a dispute over the interpretation of a notability guideline; Rebecca herself has regularly challenged such interpretations that they disagree with, and Redban's position has been supported in the past by experienced editors. They've done npthing wrong here -- but Rebecca has, and not for the first time. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk)`
Rebecca1990's comment does not look like bad faith to me; she is merely stating a fact since Redban's comment on the other AfD was in the line of "since I can't have any candy, you can't either!". Highly discouraged and disruptive behavior at Wikipedia. Nymf (talk) 06:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominated is Elizabeta Bratusha, the equally unverifiable child of Marija Ritonja, who married an equally elusive Anthon Bratusha von Friedau, and is the mother of e.g. the completely unverifiable "Princess Marta Kerschbach", wife of the untraceable "Prince Joseph Kerschbach".

Hi guys! I would like to volunteer to clean this article up and provide it with actual independent, third-party stories that support its creation. From what I see, this is a smaller firm, though it is notable based on the amount of references -- perhaps not the depth, though -- it has generated. Most of the content, as it stands, is not supported. Here are a few of the pieces I can leverage to provide deeper context, per the WP:CORP. The entry will likely still be light after my edits, though it will actually be well-referenced.

Potential references (there are a ton of these out there):

44. Crenshaw Communications Kristen Stewart Voted Least Trusted Celebrity; Poll: Top 10 Most Trusted People in America This J.C. Penney Worker Was Fired For Telling The Truth About Its 'Fake' Prices The Real Reason Facebook Cracked Down On Guns (Moms, Of Course) Social Media Shouldn't Be an Echo Chamber Target's Reputation May Never Be The Same Again Lowe's criticized after fleeing Muslim reality show When Brands Take Risks and Fail

If you are okay with giving me an opportunity to edit, that would be great. I might need more time, however, between now and Wednesday (I think last day before deletion).

Taking a glance at the sources provided above, they look like the types of quotes, brief mentions and trivial rankings that were the rational for the nomination.

  • "44." A brief description of the company from a good source. This could go toward establishing notability, but only as a small piece.
  • "Kristen Stewart" - a quote by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "J.C. Penny" - a quote by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "Real Reason" - a quote by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "Social Media" - a quote by Crenshaw director; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "Target's" - quote + advice by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "Lowe's" - quote + advice by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
  • "When Brands" - a quote by Crenshaw CEO; nothing about company - no notability imparted.
So, what we have is high quality sources relying on Crenshaw for opinion from time to time, but basically no coverage of the company. These quotes collectively show some importance, but if there are no articles about the company, there is nothing to base an article on. We need at least one high quality sources (preferably two) that has written in depth (multiple paragraphs) about the company itself. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:51, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
These are all valid points, ThaddeusB. I'm going to dig into this a bit more as I think there may be some of that coverage, though it might be a bit old. Will keep you posted. Beyond that, I wonder if perhaps the CEO should have a page, instead, if this thing is deleted, given her footprint. Techieguy2012 (talk) 19:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To what degree are trade industry coverage worthwhile to establish notability? I see things from Mediabistro and other public relations industry outlets that have mentioned them quite a bit. These outlets have their own Wiki profiles, so does that mean the coverage meets the desired standard? Techieguy2012 (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly disagree that trade press cannot be used to establish notability or that PR trade magazines are just PR themselves. However, support that we need more than brief mentions, quotes or anything that looks like a re-written press release. What is needed is in-depth coverage where the PR firm is the subject of a substantial piece that can support a meaningful entry and is written by an independent professional journalist (not a contributor, guest author, byline from the company or re-written press release). Regarding awards, I do not think they can be used to support qualifying for an article, especially in this field. I have written some additional advice in this area at WP:ORGAWARDS. Although I could be wrong, I glanced at your contributions and it gave me the impression that you may be affiliated with this firm, in which case Wikipedia's Terms of Use[45] (and the FTC's astroturfing laws cited in the TOU) requires a disclosure of your financial connection. If this doesn't apply to you, than please just ignore me. Just a heads up. CorporateM (Talk) 00:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What CorporateM said. Trade publications are OK, but the coverage has to be pretty substantial; more so for publications with smaller audiences. Awards with no additional coverage beyond "X won Y" do not establish any notability at all. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails WP:GNG, WP:RS, and WP:LISTN. This is merely listing department awards for the athletics department at the University of Oregon without any citations (let alone independent, verifiable, third party citations), other than the 2014 Oregon Football Almanac. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:43, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pages 84 and 86 of the 2014 Oregon Football Almanac contain the titles, descriptions and history of the awards on this list. This list is obviously in its infancy and I am working on compiling other sources, as well as making tables that contain the history of players who have received these awards. I would definitely classify the almanac, published by the University of Oregon as verifiable. Below is an additional citation from that verifies the 2014 recipients of these awards. Athies22 (talk) 02:09, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The author has created several articles or redlinks for placenames ostensibly in a small area of northern Delaware. Around the same time, the same places were added to OpenStreetMap; many of them contain(ed) the element "leiy", e.g., "Midzemuthleiy", "Wilzemuthleiy", "La Leies Woods". A few seem to have been submitted to Google Maps as well; none are present in Bing Maps that I can see. Confusing matters, the author has created a few articles on obscure and subsumed villages that seem to be legitimate. I have proposed a number that seem to be hoaxes for deletion; this one had already been PRODded. Needless to say, none of them can be found in US GNIS, historic maps (e.g., from historicmapworks.com), local histories, and other places where they would be expected to appear. In the case of the Delaware ones like this, I have also checked the county GIS maps, which include subdivision names, and they are also absent. Choess (talk) 00:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, whether hoax or not, that one appearance of the word is not enough to satisfy WP:V or WP:N. The practice at previous AfDs, documented at WP:OUTCOMES#Populated places has been that neighborhoods are kept only if "their names are found to have verifiable widespread usage" or they are "legally separate municipalities or communes (e.g., having their own governments)". That is clearly not the case here. JohnCD (talk) 10:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't be surprised if Google Maps is pulling that data from us, since the article's geotagged. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 00:07, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Google Maps entry shows boundaries. It also shows coordinates that are slightly different from the Wikipedia article. That data probably didn't come from us. • Gene93k (talk) 00:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A bit of searching tells me that Midzemuthleiy was a place in OpenStreetMap until a few days ago, when Choess deleted it there (though it still shows up in some Google archives). That seems like a more likely source, and other wikis don't pass WP:V. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 04:00, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the OSM data was all point data; I'm pretty sure the Google Maps polygon must have been uploaded directly to there. Choess (talk) 19:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
