Article on dormitory that fails to satisfy WP:GNG. There are no independent sources. TM 22:41, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Article is among some of the tallest buildings in town, but besides that, it appears in The New York Times, Massachusetts A town site, about an incident that was reported in many publications at the time, and many others. If needed, I could ask contacts at the UMass Library system to dig up some information, as I know there are things like this website that have been created because of the information they have. Regardless, just because an article isn't up to the standards of an editor, generally doesn't mean it should be deleted. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:30, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That a news event occurred in a building does not make the building inherently notable, nor do those sources qualify under GNG. GNG requires significant, reliable secondary sources. If such sources are presented, I would be open to withdrawing this AfD.--TM 02:24, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete A building such as a dormitory does not become notable just because protests, racial incidents and graffiti tagging occurred there. Being one of the three tallest buildings in Amherst, Massachusetts is not a plausible claim of notability. We would need significant coverage of the architectural or historical signficance of the building, which is lacking. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:24, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: ... and, given that it's one of five such towers built in the "Southwest" dormitory area of UMass, yeah, it's lacking. What this is is just a high-rise dorm building, indistinguishable from JQA, Kennedy, Coolidge and Adams, unless you're familiar enough with the campus to know which is which. It's not that this isn't "up to the standards of an editor" -- it's not up to the standards of Wikipedia, and there aren't sources which meet the GNG that describe this tower in "significant detail," as opposed to Southwest or the high-rises as a whole, or of a passing mention that fails SIGCOV. Ravenswing 05:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of University of Massachusetts Amherst residence halls, and redirect to a new wp:anchor that could be created, within that list. Other similar short articles linked from that list-article's "buildings" section should also be merged back there, probably, as this and others seem to lack enough separate coverage in reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's standard for notability on their own. But the topic of all the buildings definitely will be okay. Before I found the residence halls list-article I was going to suggest creating a list of all significant buildings on the campus, to be titled List of University of Massachusetts Amherst buildings or similarly. Note there are currently 35 lists in Category:Lists of university and college buildings in the United States. The one paragraph about this one dorm building is fine as an entry in a dot-pointed list or in a table-ized list, within the residence halls list article. The University of Massachusetts Amherst article specifically mentions a number of buildings that should be included in a more general list-article. Merging and redirecting preserves the edit history and credit, per Wikipedia's promise to contributors. --doncram 06:37, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I don't give a rat's patootie to preserving someone's "credit" -- that decidedly not being what Wikipedia is all about -- but I'm not opposed to a redirect to the main UMass article, to a list article such as Doncram describes, or to a more general article about the Southwest Residential Area, which has been the focus of enough significant events over the years to meet the GNG. Ravenswing 21:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Well it is part of basics of Wikipedia and licensing terms, that others who copy from a Wikipedia article are bound to give credit, e.g. by listing or linking to list of contributors to the article. Also, IMO, deleting contributions unnecessarily within AFD processes and otherwise, is a big way Wikipedia editors discourage and drive away new contributors, and the trend should be stopped. At least we agree that a redirect is appropriate, and that will actually save the record of contribution and allow anything to be used elsewhere. --doncram 23:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This AFD is related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John F. Kennedy Tower about 4 other buildings on the campus. Should have been discussed in one AFD, i believe, per wp:MULTIAFD. Commenters here should consider commenting there, too, for efficiency. --doncram 23:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge – Apparently doncram and I have been looking at the same things and came to the same conclusion. In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John F. Kennedy Tower I suggested merging all 5 of these towers into List of University of Massachusetts Amherst residence halls, and I'd like to suggest the same thing here. I think doing so would improve that article. – Margin1522 (talk) 03:46, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge / delete. I'd like to throw another merge option into the mix: Campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. If the section grows enough to warrant its own article, we can revisit later, but for now it's small enough to fit neatly into one of several relevant articles.

There are indications of success and perhaps some level of WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG, but I couldn't establish it. It has been tagged for notability for almost seven years, so needs a discussion.

Physical strength is tested by "German firefighting fitness badge". #2 There are only two awards for german firefighters that can be achieved in sports: 1. "Leistungsnachweis" is a sports competition in firefighting-techniques. 2. "German firefighting fitness badge" is awarded for physical strength. #3 "German firefighting fitness badge" is the one and only physical fitness decoration just for firefighters. German Sports Badge for example is eligible for everyone. (Benutzer:Spirobranchus - 16:19, 12, December 2014)

• Keep, but... the article is full of nonsense like his entire teaching history and WP:CRYSTAL stuff like his future publications. It reads like a (bloated) LinkedIn profile. That said, it would seem his actual publications make him notable enough for inclusion. It needs cleaning up and cutting back but deletion isn't the solution, I don't think. But I'm happy to discuss that in greater detail. St★lwart¹¹¹ 04:42, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose I'm probably at "weak keep" - none of his individual publications would seem to be notable in their own right, such that he would be notable for having written them. Being prolific is irrelevant. I'm a prolific cook, but only in my own kitchen. Editing a notable magazine for 6 years does, I think, get him over the line, especially given that it was in an era without internet or significant television coverage of the same subjects - it was a significant medium for a lot of people. I've done some work to cut out a lot of the rubbish - mostly the unsourced stuff and the "fan boy" stuff like his entire teaching history. St★lwart¹¹¹ 04:52, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is not insufficiently notable for deletion, then surely hardly anything is! What independent secondary coverage of note does this guy have?! Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 20:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF is never a good argument and your attempts to turn the article into a 4-line stub to prove a point won't fool others who come here to comment. You removed the salient point (his having been the editor of a notable magazine) as unreferenced when logic would suggest that such a claim could easily be verified by any issue of said publication during the (non-internet) period in question. Do you honestly doubt the claim or are you just trying to be painful? St★lwart¹¹¹ 22:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not WP:OTHERSTUFF but a question of where the threshold of notability is here. What secondary coverage is there?

• Rename They have exited Schwartz Communications and have a new company, Chockstone Pictures, so a redirect to Schwartz Communications does not cover the content on this page. However, there is no page for Chockstone Pictures, and this page could reasonably be renamed to that, since that is the company responsible for the films listed here. There are pages for other production companies on WP. Then there is the issue of references: the ones here are not reliable sources. I found a few mentions in some movie-related sites, but they are a production company, and that's rather work-a-day in Hollywood and does not generally get separate attention. I did find this link: [8]. Their list of films is here: [9]. There are only 5-6 so far, none block-busters but two with Brad Pitt, so they undoubtedly have some clout in Hollywood. I'd rename this to Chockstone Pictures, add the one reference, include them in the list of production companies, and then see what develops. LaMona (talk) 17:20, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Suddenly I'm wishing I could see if anyone EVER had searched for that term independent of clicking the link above).

Here is the screenshot and a copy - Sources for him being an artist. [18] p76 - NQ (talk) 23:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is some ambiguity regarding the name, but from what I can gather - Promoted from Lieutenant to Captain of the 40th in 1775. [19]In 1780, painted "The Situation of His Majesty’s Ship Ambuscade,off the Island of Jersey, the 15th of November 1779." p76. Became major on 12 October 1787 and then Lieutenant-colonel on 1 March 1794. Retired: September 1795. p5During the Napoleonic Wars, he fought alongside Lord Nelson in the battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar. He served as a Major under Lords Washington and Napier. Made Major-general in 1820, and died in 1823. [20] I'm leaning towards Keep. - NQ (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That must be a different man - the subject of the article was already a Lieutenant Colonel in 1780. JohnCD (talk) 09:52, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• For a senior army officer (already Lt.Col. in 1780), what was he doing spending so much time at sea? He is said to have been with Nelson at naval battles that took place in 1794, 1798, 1801, 1805. JohnCD (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is this - bibliophile.net/books/w_adlam_the_situation_of_his_majesty's_ship_ambuscade_off_the_island_of_jersey_the_15th_of_november_.htm (domain blacklisted) (copy). "The artist, William Adlam, was a British naval officer who served in both the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. During the latter, he often served with Lord Nelson, including the Battle of Trafalgar" - NQ (talk) 23:48, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Army officers serving as Marines on shipboard had Army ranks, much like the present day Marines. all large ships, and all flagships in particular, had substantial detachment of Marines, partly for ordinary military purposes, and partly to maintain discipline among the sailors DGG ( talk ) 00:00, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but they would be commanded by a relatively junior officer. This muster roll of HMS Victory's crew at Trafalgar shows about 150 marines commanded by Captain Adair - army rank, equivalent to naval lieutenant. It does not show any Adlam. Captain Adair is also mentioned (and Adlam is not) in Eye-Witnesses to Nelson's Battles, ed. James Hewitt. JohnCD (talk) 11:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A Captain William Adlam is listed as the commander of the marines in the Spithead mutiny. [21] link - NQ (talk) 19:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Summary so far: this is evidently not a hoax, and I have removed the hoax tag. However, there are still serious inconsistencies:

• the claim that he was on board Victory at Trafalgar is not borne out by the muster roll. Also, I have a book of the accounts of Eye-witnesses to Nelson's Battles and if he was really present at four of them in a reasonably senior capacity one might have expected some reference, though its absence is certainly not conclusive.
• the dates, Lt-Col. in 1780 but promoted to Major in 1794. Are there possibly two different William Adlams?

Apart from the 1780/Lt. Col./Voltaire sentence, the article is evidently based on the 1881 History of Milwaukee source that NQ has found, but is that really a RS? The information for it was presumably provided by William Adlam's son Samuel. I wonder whether the old soldier's reminiscences became expanded and exaggerated over the years and in family tradition? Samuel was only 7 when his father died.

My conclusion at this stage: there was such a person but, in view of the inconsistencies, I don't think we have solid enough sourcing for an article, so I am not withdrawing my nomination. JohnCD (talk) 14:57, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, judging by this preface and the review here, the History of Milwaukee source does not seem to be reliable. - NQ (talk) 19:52, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. There was a Lieutenant-Colonel Adlam. There was also a Royal Marines officer, Captain (later Major) William Adlam, who was an artist and whose widow died in 1849. To be honest I can't find enough on either to make a sustainable article, but I'm incling towards a "keep". There may be offline sources. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:35, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Andreas Philopater: This article is mostly based on the account of Captain Samuel John George Adlam [22], son of William Adlam and Grace Adlam. [23]. Good catch on the second painting. This mentions his name as William May Adlam. - NQ (talk) 23:17, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@NQ: Given that the catalogue entries for the other prints have "Capt." and this one has "May", I'm tempted to see that as a typo (or misreading) for "Maj." I'm rather wondering whether William Adlam doesn't conflate a number of Adlams. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 01:39, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: the Samuel John George Adlam who is the putative source for much of this says his grandfather was "Governor of Halifax". Clearly he wasn't Governor of Nova Scotia, but could he have been head of the garrison in Halifax or something along those lines? The first public park in Canada was "Adlam's Garden" in Halifax. Online I can find nothing about the history of the park beyond the name. Admittedly this might be a wild goose chase, but I still suspect there may be undigitised sources that would establish notability. Any Canadians reading this? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 12:35, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Much of the article content is factually incorrect and it has not been possible to verify the rest. There is a real possibility that nothing in the article as it stands is actually correct. The fact that there were other people of the same name does not make me think that this article necessarily has verifiable content. While I am generally a hard line inclusionist, I am even more hard line on verifiability. It's a delete from me. Greenshed (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment by nominator: another summary of where I think we are, after remarkable achievements in digging up sources. The article is evidently based on the Milwaukee County History found by NQ, but as the review of that book says, books of this type were compiled from accounts of their families given by subscribers, leading to "claims of famous ancestors, and exaggerated military service".

Independently of that source, there are several records of an Adlam in the 40th Foot, but one of them gives no first name and the other three are John. There are also several records, dating from 1779 to 1797, of a William Adlam who was a Captain or Major of Marines and was an artist, and an 1849 death notice of the "widow of Major Adlam R.M."

The claim that he was with Nelson at Trafalgar is not borne out by the Victory's muster-roll, and the claim that he became a major-general has no independent source, and is contradicted by the widow's death notice.

The only confirmed facts we have are that William Adlam was a Major of Marines and an artist. That is not enough to support an article. JohnCD (talk) 21:27, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is nominally a bio of an activist and author, although it's almost entirely a description of his book. There are no independent references and no evidence of substantial coverage by reliable sources, and so no evidence that either the author or the book is at all notable. The article has been tagged as ref-improve for five years and as promotional for three, with no real improvement. I can't find any worthwhile sources about book or author. I don't believe the author satisfies WP:AUTHOR or the book WP:NBOOK. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 16:36, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I have added a couple of references, based on reviews of his book located via Highbeam, and also removed the long text which described the book rather than the person (and hence also removed the promotional tag).

  • Comment: I don't know anything about either of the journals that you found to opine as to what extent they're reliable or significant. But if folks consider that they are, to the degree that something of this article should be saved, this would suggest that the book rather than the author is the notable one. In that event (which I don't think were at yet) I'd suggest we rename the article to the book's title, cut the author bio down to a line or two, and have as the main body the material about the book that is supported by those journal reviews. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 18:08, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment – Unfortunately I don't think either the book or the author is notable enough for a separate article. The books gets few cites on Google Scholar, and most of them are dissertations. What I would suggest is converting it into an article on "Grassroots environmental activism". I've been looking through the hundreds of environmental articles on Wikipedia for a home for this content, and it seems that we don't have an article on strategy. This has been a major topic in the environmental movement since the "failure" of the cap-and-trade bill, which many blamed on the insider strategy of the big environmental groups. There is a wealth of material on that. So this article could be rewritten as first approach to that topic, using mainly the material on the book. Or just delete the article for now, which I am leaning toward, since someone writing an article on this topic is likely to come across the book. – Margin1522 (talk) 22:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Frederic D. Price[edit]

Two possible sources of notability for this individual:

• 1. As a former pharmaceutical exec. Sources for this career appear to be direct or regurgitated press releases which do not satisfy the "significant coverage", "reliable", and "independent" aspects of WP:GNG.
• 2. As the founder of the publishing company Fig Tree Books, a company that has yet to publish anything. There was a consensus at a recent AFD discussion to remove the Fig Tree Books article from the mainspace.

Assuming notability is not established by the pharmaceutical career, can a subject derive notability from an organization whose article was removed from the mainspace by consensus for not being notable?

• Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria says:

  If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

  The Marin Independent Journal article provides substantial coverage, while the other sources can be "combined to demonstrate notability".

  Globes notes that Price is "known as an executive who saves troubled companies".

  Frederic D. Price was the CEO of BioMarin Pharmaceutical between February 2000 and August 2004. He was the CEO of Applied Microbiology in 1996. (See The New York Times's article about the company, where Price is extensively quoted.)

  Price was a Vice President of Pfizer between 1973 and 1986 and the Vice President of Finance and Administration and CFO of Regeneron between 1991 and 1994. He served as the chairman of Omrix Pharmaceuticals between 2004 and 2008 and chairman and CEO of Chiasma between 2008 and 2013.

     The article notes:

     BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. Chairman and CEO Fredric D. Price resigned from his post yesterday, saying he was relocating to the East Coast to be with his family, which remained in New York's Westchester County when Price took the job in February 2000.

     ...

     "It is difficult for me to leave, but personally, with my family on the East Coast, it is appropriate for me to relocate there," Price said.

     Company officials hailed Price's role in leading the company in the midst of a long and financially turbulent transition from a research and development organization into a drugmaker with two products on the market and a third up for approval within a year.

     "We wish Fred the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his significant contributions," Lapalme said.

     Price joined the firm in February 2000 to replace longtime friend and colleague Grant Denison Jr., who co-founded BioMarin in 1997. The pair met in 1973 and worked together for 13 years at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in New York City.

"This bug secrets a peptide, or a small protein, called nisin. Nisin's sole function in life is to act like an artillery shell and kill all other bugs that want to kill its mother. So we asked, why not try to develop nisin to kill bugs found in people? Or in food?"

• Delete or userfy This article was created by Cunard four days ago, and from Cunard's responses here one can surmise that it is not yet completed. I do not anticipate that the article will meeting WP standards for BLPs, but I think we should give it a bit more time so that Cunard can at least present a mature entry. It may also be advisable to hold judgment until the publishing adventure has had an opportunity to publish. LaMona (talk) 02:34, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree that the article is not yet completed (as is all of Wikipedia) because Wikipedia is a work in progress.

  The article does not violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. It is offensive to suggest that I would create an article that violates BLP. Please be specific about why you think the article violates BLP.

  I have maintained in my response above that the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." Cunard (talk) 04:19, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Cunard, if that above comment was directed at me, let me be clear that nothing I said should be interpreted as saying that the article "violates BLP". I'm not convinced that the person measures up to notability, however. None of the articles that you cite here are about him, but instead are about companies he has been involved with. They include almost no information about him as a person. They also are not strong publications. But I still am willing to give it more times so that you can find stronger resources. LaMona (talk) 02:56, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I interpreted "I do not anticipate that the article will meeting WP standards for BLPs" as your saying that the article violated BLP. Thank you for your clarification that you did not mean that the article violated BLP.

  Regarding your comment that these are "not strong publications": How do any of the sources I have listed violate Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources#News organizations? All of the sources I have listed are "well-established news outlets". If a secondary source does not violate Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, it can be used to establish notability. This is consistent with Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people).

  The article from Marin Independent Journal provides nontrivial coverage about Price's career:

  1. His family is from New York's Westchester County.
  2. He relocated to California without his family to become the charmain and CEO of BioMarin Pharmaceutical.
  3. He served in that position from served February 2000 and August 2004.
  4. Under his leadership, the company transitioned from a research and development organization to a drugmaker with two drugs on the market and a third pending approval.
  5. He said he left that position to rejoin his family on the East Coast.
  6. He previously worked in New York City at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.
  7. He met the previous CEO of BioMarin at Pfizer, where they worked together for 13 years.
  Library Journal calls him "a successful drug developer with a deep interest in Jewish literature". Globes says Price is "known as an executive who saves troubled companies" and "Chiasma's investors apparently decided that his rescue skills are needed in more than one place".

  These sources are not merely "about companies he has been involved with". They do not "include almost no information about him as a person". The sources can be "combined to demonstrate notability" as per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria.

  Cunard (talk) 03:50, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Cunard, I don't see notability as being a mechanical counting up of sources, otherwise we could send bots out to create WP articles. To me, it matters what the sources say, and nothing here, to my mind, says much. I also don't see anything that would be the "precipitating moment" for the creation of a WP article, so I'm wondering how he came to your attention and why you thought he should have an article. (BTW, I've written for Library Journal and I know that they have neither reporters nor fact-checkers, so the "successful drug developer..." will have undoubtedly come from whatever promotional material he sent them.) LaMona (talk) 15:17, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Library Journal has editorial oversight per http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/about/lj-reviews-editorial-contacts/. That satisfies Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. It is clear we will not agree on the depth of coverage provided by Marin Independent Journal. It is clear that we will not agree on Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria's allowing sources to be "combined to demonstrate notability". We will have to agree to disagree. Cunard (talk) 03:48, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Library Journal is a reliable source for library information, but not for verifiability that a person has been successful in business in a previous time - especially since that was a throw-away line in a short article about the publishing venture. I would still like an answer to my question about your interest in this, because it seems quite obvious to me that it would make sense to wait (at least one year, maybe two) until the publishing house has had a chance to prove itself and then create a page for it. Even if the publishing house is successful, I don't see Price as notable as an individual. He's a successful businessman, and has now invested in publishing. Why not wait? LaMona (talk) 16:00, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not following this conversation, but want to add that Library Journal is not a good source for outstanding claims (for the reasons LaMona already elaborated). Yes, the site is used as a reliable source, but I wouldn't base an article's notability on a claim made via that publication.  czar ⨹ 17:34, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can hardly find any proof that this team exists, let alone meets any notability criteria. The name suggests it has a connection to the soccer club, Cardiff City FC, but it is unclear whether this is the case (I can see at least two of the Cardiff universities have futsal clubs). The club does not seem to have a website (only a Twitter account), so it appears this Wikipedia page is being used as a substitute for their own web presence.

Citation is broken and I can't see an alternative. Even if he was *a* singer at the event, I doubt 100,000 people were there to see *him*. It suggests there were several other events and attractions at this Christmas tree lighting ceremony. As for Wikipedia not being an effective vehicle for publicity, I beg to differ. It's the 6th most popular website. I've worked extensively at Articles for Creation and know there is a queue of recording companies and agents trying to publish articles about their products.

True on all accounts, and the reason I removed some of the excessive clean-up templates from the article. Well done for that! But these aren't the reason it's been nominated for deletion discussion. We're looking for evidence Chaz is 'notable' i.e. been widely written about in credible, journalistic sources. Websites like SnapCracklePop seem to have no editorial control, so personally I wouldn't consider them reliable or journalistic. Sionk (talk) 14:04, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding notability -- Chaz is not only a recording artist, as cited and sourced in the article. Therefore, he falls under the notability guidelines of entertainers. Having a large international following, multiple appearances on national TV shows, and roles in large stage productions. Regarding the tag for nomination of deletion, it states the article is written in a promotional fashion, which is not the case. (talk) 12:09, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Article initially marked for deletion based on "promotional" or "self-promotional" issues as well as notability concerns. "Promotional" tag removed by Sionk and marked as "redundant" & "excessive." Subject falls under the notability guidelines of entertainers. Issue tag removed. This article does not contain any material confirming either of the initial claims for grounds as deletion. (talk) 21:44, 27 December 2014 (UTC) — 122.27.249.227 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

• Comment I'm surprised that this has lasted three weeks. It's not a vote, but four editors have argued for deletion. One chatty SPA IP has argued to keep, all the while removing maintenance tags and doing other mischief. The SPA IP has not explained how this satisfies WP:ENT. In other words, for all the SPA IP's chatty posting here, he has not addressed the policy basis of the original nom. Logical Cowboy (talk) 14:22, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Mischief is hardly appropriate or applicable terminology as I have continued increasing the value of the article. The first tag was removed by another editor and the second removed by myself, as the article DOES fall under the notability guidelines outlined in WP:ENT, as I have explained above, should you care to review them. If not, please allow me to reiterate: Being that Chaz has over 200,000 downloads of his music, nearly a quarter of a millions listeners (as cited above with Jamendo) and substantial following on all of his social networking would fulfill the large following point. Secondly, he has made numerous national television appearances included America's Best Dance Crew, The Ellen Degeneres Show (arguably the second most notable talk show to Oprah), Disney's Shake It Up, MTVs MADE, and so on. All sources cited within the article in question. The reason the article has not been deleted is due to the fact that I have posed logical and complete arguments as to why the accusations are incorrect. Directing arguments towards users and not towards the article is considered disruptive, according to this article. (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Human longevity articles have a serious problem with gross list cruft, and this is a prime example. There's exactly one notable person on this list, and her notability is enough for an article but very minor. There is established precedent that just staving off death for an atypically long time does not make a person notable, and there is no reason that a group of unrelated people in a given geographical area whose only similar characteristic is attaining the same should be treated any differently. Furthermore, there are no actual third-party sources (i.e. sources besides the Gerontology Research Group) which discuss the topic of supercentenarians in Belgium.

• Keep The whole point is that (most of) these people are not notable enough for their own article - however, as the longest-lived people from a geographical area, they are of interest. You also don't seem to understand the value of keeping track of people at the upper limit of human longevity. Your comment that "just staving off death for an atypically long time does not make a person notable" oversimplifies things. That's like saying that the world's tallest people are not of note because "they're just people whose heads are atypically high above the ground". - Ollie231213 (talk) 14:32, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, I would say that about tall people too; we don't have List of tallest people from India or other such articles for that reason. I'm not saying there's necessarily no place for this information, but having 40 standalone lists for individual countries doesn't make sense. To me, that seems more like an argument to restructure List of European supercentenarians so that it contains each individual country; I think that would be a fine outcome as well. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 18:26, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Geographical location is a prominent factor when it comes to longevity - for example, things like climate, diet, and healthcare systems of countries will affect the prevalence of supercentenarian cases, so listing supercentenarians by countries is of interest. On the other hand, geographical location is of less importance when it comes to the prevalence of very tall people. But even so, the fact that there are no "List of tallest people from country X" articles is not an argument for deleting this one. With regards to your suggestion about merging existing articles with List of European supercentenarians - I would not totally opposed to that as there are some articles - such as List of Lithuanian supercentenarians - which don't seem to have enough content in them to warrant an entire article. That's not to say I believe that all articles should be merged. - Ollie231213 (talk) 23:14, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair; some of these countries are obviously a lot larger than others. This is one that's on the fence in that regard, but it seems at leats plausible for it to be merged to a hypothetically restructured list. That said, our article on human height would suggest that external factors account for a lot as well, so I'm not 100% on the logic above.

Not sure if this is cruft or advertisement, but it does read like an ad... Attempted to read promotional content/trivia but it seems like this is most of the article. A google news search reveals plenty of hits, but most of them don't seem to reliable news organizations (more like niche magazines for young people). The sources that are reliable, generally speak of famous people using the coffeeshop as a venue, not about the coffeeshop itself (which is what this article's subject currently is). Most of the article's sources right now are primary sources and secondary sources like Facebook and Twitter.

• Keep. Modern UI was created on 26 October 2006 by Writtenonsand as a page redirecting Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, a section of which is titled "Modern user interface" (Modern UI). It was apparently at that time a valid redirect page per Wikipedia:Redirect (sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article). I changed it to a disambiguation page at 09:37, 15 August 2012, adding a disambiguation entry Modern UI (design language), which was an alternative name of Microsoft's Metro (design language) (see relative discussion at Talk:Metro (design language)#Metro Is Now Modern UI, Talk:Metro (design language)#Move to Modern UI, Talk:Modern UI#Metro (Design Language), etc.). Actually Modern UI (design language) was moved back to Metro (design language) on 12 August 2012‎ and Modern UI (design language) is still a redirect page now. I cannot see any reason why it cannot be a disambiguation entry for Modern UI. --Neo-Jay (talk) 05:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To have the entire concept of modern user interfaces redirect to a (probably-too-detailed) write-up of an obscure product's user interface was ridiculous. That element needs to be removed from the DAB page. That is unless you want to start adding entries for discussions of the thousands of other software product's user interfaces. The Dissident Aggressor 13:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree "Modern UI" is neither an industry/jargon term nor an explicitly named feature/copyright and seems to just refer to a revamped user interface.

• Comment. There was a request for moving Metro (design language) to Modern UI in August 2012, and it failed. You may initiate another moving request at Talk:Metro (design language). But before that, Modern UI should not be deleted and could only be changed from a disambiguation page to a redirect page. --Neo-Jay (talk) 12:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – Modern UI is a very commonly used term for Microsoft's new UI. Whether or not the design language article remains named Metro, Modern UI shouldn't be deleted. At least redirect.

• Keep This is in Georgian Bay which has thirty-thousand islands. But this is named and appears in the Gazetteer of Canada so we shouldn't delete it. Perhaps we could start a list of islands in Georgian Bay? Andrew D. (talk) 10:25, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We have List of islands of Ontario#Georgian Bay but it seems not to be complete. Thincat (talk) 14:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment appearing in the Gazetteer of Canada does not make this island notable. Hwy43 (talk) 00:55, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I hope sailors don't navigate round Georgian Bay using the information in the recently-added reference http://www.electriccanadian.com/gazetteer/sailing_ns.pdf (page 80) because that is a different Smooth Island which looks to be now called Little Duck Island. Google maps is not very detailed but the Atlas of Canada has so many Little Duck Islands that it is better to look up "Niger Sound" at http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/toporama/index.html or try "Little Duck Island, Division No. 10, Subd. B, NL, Canada" or 52°11′06″N 55°41′46″W / 52.185°N 55.696°W / 52.185; -55.696 on Google Maps. Fair Winds and Following Seas! Thincat (talk) 13:37, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is another "Smooth Island" in Georgian Bay 44°53′46″N 79°54′36″W / 44.896°N 79.91°W / 44.896; -79.91 which seems even more notable. Thincat (talk) 14:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a Smooth Island in the Hudson Strait 62°00′00″N 72°16′59″W / 62°N 72.283°W / 62; -72.283, the only Canadian mention on the disambiguation page before these recent edits [24]. 117Avenue (talk) 02:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• According to WP:GEOLAND: "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature should be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except the name and the location should probably be described in the article on the river." It's not notable enough to be mentioned in the Georgian Bay article but I think it makes sense to redirect to List of islands of Ontario#Georgian Bay. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 16:49, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as above. I clicked on the coordinates, and even google maps doesn't include it's name. There are 30,000 + islands nearby, I don't think every one of them is notable. Mattximus (talk) 17:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no, its name is certainly there look. For me anyway. Thincat (talk) 19:52, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - No evidence of notability. I don't see a policy that all named islands should be kept. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:32, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Useful reference: I feel this link may constructively contribute to this discussion. Please type "Smooth Island" into the search field on this page: http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/toporama/index.html. (It appears there may be a number of islands called "Smooth Island" in Canada - possibly explains some of the confusion).--Jkokavec (talk) 06:48, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This article is now a mix of information about unrelated islands, seemingly too hard to tangle. Yes, islands are notable, but this article is enough of a mess that it's time to throw it away and restart. Nyttend (talk) 13:04, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete since we can't seem to establish which Smooth Island this article is about. It was originally supposedly about a Smooth Island in Nunavut, and the most recent source added is exclusively about maritime navigation in and around Nova Scotia, both hundreds of miles away from Georgian Bay. It seems likely from the discussion that there are multiple Smooth Islands in Ontario alone, so the disambiguator is incomplete. There is not enough here for the article to stand on its own so at best it should be redirected, but it should not be called Smooth Island (Ontario), thus it should be deleted. Ivanvector (talk) 18:03, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The provided references are not substantive coverage of the island in reliable sources, but rather serve only as verification that the island exists. Islands can be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, absolutely — but small and unpopulated islands are not entitled to Wikipedia articles which demonstrate little more than the fact that they exist. No prejudice against recreation in the future if real sources supporting substantive content about the island can be located — but being able to locate it on Google Maps is not, in and of itself, enough to qualify a place for a Wikipedia article if that's all you can do for referencing. Bearcat (talk) 18:44, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I think that the delete voters here are unaware of the existence of WP:NGEO, which states that named geographical features are usually notable. Sources that help this meet NGEO include this. --Jakob (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That source does not help meet WP:NGEO (which was mentioned above). NGEO suggests that named features "are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist." (emphasis added) The sources that have been provided don't really satisfy that criteria. Ivanvector (talk) 21:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying a paragraph-long description of the island is a statistic? I think not. --Jakob (talk) 22:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a paragraph-long description of various trees and rocks both on and off the island. It's not even a description of the island itself. Yes, it's essentially just statistics. Ivanvector (talk) 22:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics, in my mind, refer to the following information: name (etymology is not a statistic, though), dimensions, elevation, and location. And, yes, it is about the topography of the island. --Jakob (talk) 22:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; this is why we can have articles about such diminutive spots as Starve Island. I'm in agreement with you, Jakec, on WP:NGEO; the reason I want to delete it is that we've unfixably conflated bits about three different islands. Better to have nothing than to present readers with information that's so badly incorrect. Nyttend (talk) 01:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: I've rewritten it from scratch, using sources that I'm confident all refer to the island in Ontario. --Jakob (talk) 01:58, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. WP:TNT only applies when an article is so bad that it would need to be rewritten from scratch and when nobody's currently around to do the from-scratch rewriting. Jakec has gotten rid of the problems that led me to suggest WP:TNT while simultaneously demonstrating the island's notability. Nyttend (talk) 02:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename current article to "Smooth Island, Muskoka, Ontario", then create new page for "Smooth Island, Parry Sound, Ontario".

Thank you to Jkokavec for useful comments, which should be taken into account. Not sure it is proper for those comments to have been "collapse"d or not. --doncram 23:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Smooth Island, Parry Sound, Ontario has the same issues as Smooth Island (Ontario) did when I nominated it, all it and the references say is that it exists. 117Avenue (talk) 19:24, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. If the title for the topic of the current article should be longer (in order to distinguish vs. other islands of similar name), the article can be moved to that title after the AFD is closed. We're not supposed to make moves during the AFD itself, by AFD guidelines. The title is not an issue for AFD. It can just be changed by any editor, if not controversial, or a wp:RM should be opened if there is likely to be any disagreement. --doncram 23:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• @Ivanvector and Bearcat: You have !voted delete on the grounds that the article only indicates the island's existence. However, now it does quite more than just indicate its existence and is a fair-sized stub. --Jakob (talk) 19:44, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have to stand by my delete !vote here. Existence is not notability. The fact that there are so many islands with this generic name, and that there are two practically right on top of each other, is very strong evidence of non-notability. There are tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of islands in Ontario just like this one. Ivanvector (talk) 01:59, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – and rename "Smooth Island, Muskoka, Ontario" as suggested by Jkokavec. Thanks to the recent additions by Jakec and Jkokavec, it now has 5 sources (4 if we disregard Google Maps) and enough information about the island. The newer article by Jkokavec has fewer sources, but that's a separate matter. If both survive, add hatnotes to distinguish them. – Margin1522 (talk) 07:31, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Do not delete. The article DOES include third party references to substantiate it. I don't understand what the issue is. Just because an island is small does not mean it is irrelevant. Sailors travelling past the island will want to know more about the island, including what it's name is, and who owns it. It is notable especially to people residing and working in the vicinity. What is the issue here? Please explain further.Jkokavec (talk) 06:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Am I seeing double? Okay, but seriously, both sources seem to be exhaustive lists of islands, neither of which offer significant coverage to establish notability. A website simply listing an island on Google Maps is far from significant. Google news search reveals zero relevant results. As per Wikipedia's guidelines, the only relevant information that can be properly written about Smooth Island on Wikipedia is that it exists - and you'd have to be privy to that information in order to look this page up in the first place.

• Keep Yes, they are all partial matches but I'm considering further down MOS:D#Examples of individual entries that should not be created and also WP:PTM. The encyclopedia is certainly often referred to with the single word "Britannica" but is this not done for any of the other entries? I expect MV Stena Britannica is often called simply "Britannica" so I think the ship could be included (note also the set index MS Stena Britannica). On the other hand I doubt whether Pax Britannica is ever referred to as "Britannica".
