Delete A total of four sentences about her and her company in Business Week is just a passing mention that does not amount to significant coverage.

It's hardly a significant honour. It's just a medal. Not even a true grade of the order. Over 19,000 have been awarded in the forty years of its existence. It is outranked by all Australian gallantry medals, most of which are not considered to be enough for automatic notability. If recipients are to be considered inherently notable, then by extension surely all recipients of gallantry awards would be considered inherently notable? They're not. That's not to say that a recipient can't be notable, of course, or that the OAM may not be considered a contributory factor to their notability, but it's not anywhere near enough on its own. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Under WP:MUSICBIO #5, as an independent label, it need to have a "history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable." While it was started in 1969, its roster of performers is made up of what appears to be predominantly non-notable musicians and non-notable ensembles. —Waldhorn (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The circularity is that musicians are excluded from "notability" because they are listed by a label that does not confer "notability" because it doesn't list enough people who are "notable". --Stfg (talk) 20:02, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, true, that's a potential flaw in #5—and would be a barrier especially if that were the only MUSICBIO criteria for notability. It's not uncommon, though, for artists to arrive at a label with established notability from other their musical activities. And, of course, notability under one of the other 11 points would suffice to meet MUSICBIO. —Waldhorn (talk) 20:39, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Whilst I'm not a big fan of classical music or organs, just from a brief internet search there appears to be plenty of independent verifiable references to Douglas Lawrence, which easily establishes his notability. I would also strongly disagree that an OAM is "hardly a significant honour", a point that even the Australian Government wouldn't support. I do accept that not all recipients are inherently notable but I would not dismiss the award out of hand, simply for that reason.Dan arndt (talk) 07:57, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I am not dismissing it out of hand. I am merely saying that it is not sufficient to confer automatic notability as one contributor suggested. If that were the case then we would keep articles on anyone who had received an honour of any level. Whereas in fact we have deleted articles on many recipients of lesser honours such as this one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:37, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Spam. The citations to Church Times (FN 2&3), Australian Music Centre (FN 6) and the article (FN 8) are dead links. The other references are to his web site. Google scholar does find the chekker article ([1]) and an article on medieval keyboard compass ([2]), both in JSTOR, but I can find nothing close to WP's requirements for notability. --Stfg (talk) 15:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment—The article has an unfortunate peacock smell about it, which could be remedied with a few excisions. A few of his recordings have been published by commercial houses (isn't this clear in a google search?). I think also some commissioned reports and minor publications (don't ask me where, and some might be self-published). There would certainly be some newspaper reviews of live performances (they'd be hard to access and would have been last century). It's on the low side of the notability window. But I'm not helpin' out, coz I hate the guy and I'd be pleased for the article to go down in flames. :-) Tony(talk) 15:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're perfectly entitled to speak your mind here. What you said won't help much, though--you need to make a policy-based argument, and the easiest way is to prove that reliable sources have discussed your subject in some detail. Drmies (talk) 21:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I saw those in Google as well; reviews from the NY Times would be fine, but not blogger reviews. :-) Ah well, look at it this way: you learned a bit more about Wikipedia's inclusion/deletion standards, and if DailyTwoCents keeps growing it will attract some media attention and another article can be attempted in the future.

Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to state a reason the subject should be considered notable in lieu of sources under WP:ANYBIO. Googling turned up nothing helpful, including nothing helpful from books or scholar. Msnicki (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not convinced that elected leader of the Debian project is inherently notable, enough to inherit notability from Debian itself. And he does not yet have enough notability as an academic. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with David Eppstein on lack of inherent notability for role, and lack of notability as an academic. I considered general coverage of Nussbaum to meet WP:GNG, and taken on the whole it did not meet what I consider enough significant RS coverage to establish notability. I found two types of coverage to consider: two medium/longish interviews with Nussbaum, and a number of brief articles just after each election, mostly in marginal sources. The scope of short articles didn't provide significant coverage, and the strength of the sources was generally weak (I would weigh similarly-sized articles more heavily if they were in Linux Journal, IEEE Spectrum or Le Monde). The interviews cannote some notability in that he was worth interviewing, but they consist almost entirely of Nussbaum's replies, rather than independent coverage about Nussbaum, and so I don't consider these very weak indicators. While less nuanced judgement might consider two or three of the first three sources below meet the multiple, independent, RS coverage requirements, it feels like a stretch to me.
"Lucas Nussbaum est le nouveau Debian Project Leader". Inside Ensimag: Le Blog de l'école du numérique (in French). École nationale supérieure d'informatique et de mathématiques appliquées de Grenoble INP. 2013-05-29. Not sure if RS, medium-length interview with Nussbaum.
Ferramosca, Roberto (2014-04-16). "Lucas Nussbaum è stato rieletto Debian Project Leader". lffl linux freedom: news dal mondo linux - ubuntu (in Italian). Doubtful RS (personal blog?), short 4-paragraph article on re-election.

Delete Insufficient significant coverage from independent reliable sources to establish notability. There is some independent RS coverage, but it tends to be interview-heavy, and to an extent relies on Towns as a source about other topics more than covering information about Towns as a topic. Sources considered:
There is other minor coverage, with just a sentence or two mentioning Towns, that I did not consider. I didn't search that exhaustively for new sources, so perhaps I missed something, and there could well be sources that aren't in Google. Agyle (talk) 03:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism, with neutrality problems. There are certainly google hits for "Stomp law" - an unrelated law firm on the other side of the world.

Only a proposed show. Simon Cowell has put the plans on indefinite hiatus, so it's highly doubtful the show will be launched. The article is mostly unreferenced, and there's not much more information to find. I don't think this merits a standalone article. I would suggest merging its content with Got Talent. Heymid (contribs) 15:10, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I hate to say this but keep (or delete - not merge). If people search on World's got Talent then they would probably prefer not to be directed to some point on another page. Article is referenced.

Appears to fail WP:GNG. Source 2 ("interview with john simkin") comes closest, but it's one interview among 68 interviews as part of a single research study into history curricula. And it's an interview, not an outside description of the article subject. It's also only one source, even if it were to count. Google news archive and google book fail to turn up any references, although there are several books which reference individual web pages from the site.

Comment I originally created the entry because the Spartacus Educational website is an extensive resource I have known and trusted for some time. I know that some Wikipedia editors have issues with the way that it presents information, and they believe that there may be a political bias, but this does not justify denying its existence. (For the record, the entry was previously recommended for deletion 14th February, and another editor undid this, writing "As reviewing admin, I think this at least somewhat informative, and not entirely promotional, so speedy deletion declined.")Tartarusrussell (talk) 09:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is important that you know something of the history of Spartacus Educational. It has been a book publisher since September 1984. I decided to produce a website in September 1997. This is of course before Wikipedia and Google had websites.
At the time I was teaching at a secondary school (11 to 18) in Sussex, England. It was initially created to provide teaching materials for my students. The UK government had recently introduced some major changes to the way the subject was to be taught. The “History National Curriculum” stipulated that the students needed to study primary and secondary historical sources. This of course had been the way was taught in the universities but it was a new idea to do it in the classroom. These sources were to be used to teach the students how historians use sources to “interpret the past”. This was a major change as history teachers had traditionally used the “narrative” approach. Its critics have argued that this has encouraged “nationalistic” history teaching. To reinforce this new approach, the government told the examination boards to change their history exams to fit in with the new history curriculum.
The pages on my website followed a certain pattern: A traditional narrative and a collection of primary and secondary sources that indicated the different ways that the subject had been interpreted by historians. Initially it was exclusively used by schools in the UK and research by the Fischer Family Trust showed that the Spartacus Educational website was used by more history students in the UK than any other website, including that of the BBC.
However, because of search-engines, the material was being used by students all over the world. It was not long before we had 6 million page impressions a month. By this time most of my visitors were from the USA (research suggested that most of my visitors were university students.)
This approach to history teaching did cause problems in other countries whose students had been brought up with a traditional nationalist narrative. On one occasion there were questions asked in Finland’s parliament as politicians became concerned that the country’s children were using the Spartacus Educational website. The main concern was that the students were using my page on Finland and the Second World War. They objected to the fact that I had included two secondary sources from Russian historians on the Soviet invasion in 1939. Luckily, there were politicians in their parliament who had knowledge of the way that the subject is taught in the UK and they eventually withdrew their demands for me to take the page down.
I am afraid this has been a constant problem. Some visitors are sometimes confused by my willingness to include different interpretations of the past. However, it is part of my website that I am unwilling to change, as if I do so, it would be of less use to the students studying the subject in the UK.
I am constantly trying to improve the website. We have recently introduced a menu at the top that enables visitors to get quickly to the information they need. Other sections include sources, references and student activities. You can see how this works here:
Thank you for your effort, sir. With this deletion discussion I in no way mean to imply that your website is not of use nor that you somehow lack in qualifications. Wikipedia has rules on inclusion for articles that say (paraphrasing somewhat) that an article subject has to have substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources (e.g. newspapers, books) that are independent of the subject. Carrite, above, has presented two sources that mostly qualify (honest wikipedians could disagree, it's a bit marginal in my opinion but a good start) to include the article. One way you could help, which would both guarantee that this article won't be deleted would help us improve the article would be to find more sources. Do you know of any other interviews you've done about the website? Is there some website from a school describing what your website is? Is there some textbook or journal article that describes it? Those would be the sort of thing that would be ideal. Sailsbystars (talk) 01:00, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete.WP:WEBCRIT states: "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." That guideline also refers to WP:NOT#INTERNET which states: "Wikipedia articles should not exist only to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers, but should describe the site in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance, which can be significantly more up-to-date than most reference sources since we can incorporate new developments and facts as they are made known." There is insufficient material to be found in reliable sources to describe the website in an "encyclopedic manner". The two aforementioned links ("Interview with John Simkin, 4 June 2009," and "Historian fears Daily Mail used his website to traduce Ralph Miliband,") state only that Spartacus Educational is run by John Simkin and do not give any additional details about the website. (i.e. it is trivial coverage about the website). Location (talk) 07:22, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would like to thank Mr. Simkim for providing the sources noted below. While I would like to see more media coverage in line with Edutopia (which is unique in that it receives coverage due to its ties with George Lucas), I think this sourcing collectively meets the criteria of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" noted in WP:GNG. The chapter in Haydn's Using New Technologies to Enhance Teaching and Learning in History was authored by Mr. Simkin, but it does give background on the formation of the website and could be used per WP:ABOUTSELF. Location (talk) 15:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The standard textbook used by British history teachers who want to use technology in the classroom, Using New Technologies to Enhance Teaching and Learning in History (2013) that is edited by Terry Haydn (Professor of Education at the University of East Anglia), includes an article about Spartacus Educational (pages 115-130). Ali Messer, tutor for History PGCE and MA Education students at the University of Roehampton, writes in her article, “History Wikis”, that Spartacus Educational is a “remarkable website for school students” (page 49).
We are included in Kevin Driscoll’s 1000 Really Useful Websites (2001): “Spartacus is a small educational book publishing company that is committed to providing free resources for the internet community… the site does contain some good reference pages and lots of good educational links… great for reference.” Page 274
We were also featured in Hutchinson’s 2001 Guide to GCSE Websites. (GCSE is the main exam taken in the UK.) It includes several references to our website: “Detailed and informative exploration of slavery in Britain and the USA. The site includes information on the life and conditions of slaves, as well as the anti-slavery groups that were formed and the reforming legislation that was passed.” (page 95); “Development of the railway system during the 19th century. This comprehensive site focuses on the individual entrepreneurs and their inventions, as well as the railway companies, stations, and the effect the railways had on towns and cities.” (page 96); “Explanation of the developments that occurred in the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. This excellent site examines the inventions of the late 18th century and the effect that they had on workers and the textile industry.” (page 96) There are several other references in the book to our website.
In the early days we had several articles written about us. The first review was in the Independent on Sunday on 1st February 1998, by Marek Kohn, on the First World War section of Spartacus Educational. After writing about one entry on Mick Mannock he goes onto say “Mannock’s extraordinary tragedy features in the International Internet Encyclopedia of the First World War, a collaborative work in progress hosted by Spartacus, a small educational publisher…. The whole hypertext will form part of a larger encylopedia.”
A review in The Guardian on 30th May, 2000, gave us a five out of five star-rating: “It has extensive cross-referenced seconds on the US, the Medieval World, the First World War, Slavery, Vietnam, Women’s Emancipation, development of railways and parliamentary reform. Resources vary from archive footage, sketches and photos to first-person accounts.”
There were also reviews by Simon Crerar in the Sunday Times and Derek Bishon of the Daily Telegraph but at the moment I cannot find them. (I seem to have mislaid them during my house move). There were also reviews in the Times Educational Supplement, Teaching History, Educational Computing, etc. but I am afraid I cannot find copies at the moment.
There are a large number of online reviews. Here is a selection of them:
“Spartacus Educational is a great resource for global history. It contains free encyclopedia entries that directly connect to primary source documents, making it a perfect tool for educators looking to give students a starting point in their research. It can even be used for a historical figure scavenger hunt!”
British History, 1700-1920: “The Spartacus Internet Encyclopedia of British history is a wonderful collection of more than 1000 entries covering the history of Britain as seen through the eyes of people from all levels of society. An excellent resource…. A mind-boggling online encyclopedia of British history, medieval Europe, the Nazis, US Civil War, the Vietnam War and more. Phenomenal!”
“This site is perfect for the student seeking enrichment in history. Fun and easy to explore various topics for a general understanding of events and characters in Western History (primarily US and British). Nice place to begin a search, however each topic is discussed briefly - this site does not provide in-depth discussion for those who have already developed a general knowledge of Western History.”

Does not appear to meet GNG. The article only has three references, two of them are first-party and one of them is from a generic cryptocurrency database. I was unable to find significant coverage of this crypto-coin from reliable sources independent of the subject. Breadblade (talk) 15:03, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Plenty of coverage to be found in the specified newssites related to the coin. Having over 289.000 users is by itself relevant enough to be added to Wikipedia. Added 2 more references from newssites + link to wiki. Hope this helps. Ozzke (talk) 15:40, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikis aren't reliable sources and both those articles seem to be from people with a financial stake in Pandacoin, so I'm not 100% sure how independent/reliable they are in this case. The author of the Cryptonews article admits they had spent 3 weeks mining Pandacoin, the Cryptoarticles piece is less problematic but they do seem to be pulling for the project's success. Also this "289,000 users" figure seems to have been pulled out of thin air. Breadblade (talk) 21:58, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ozzke, I removed the references, as they did not meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources (click that link to read about those standards). (Other editors: here is the version before I removed the references.) I also removed references to pandacoinpnd.org, as I couldn't find any suggestion that it really is the coin's official website; the bitcointalk.org "announcement" forum post for the coin stated that thepandacoin.com is the correct website (a malware program on my computer indicated high risk that the site is associated with command-and-control malware, so I did not view it); one of the non-RS "articles" you cited said thepandacoin.net is the official website, and another bitcointalk.org announcement said that thepandacoin.org was its website, although that might have been for an unrelated Pandacoin that happens to have the same name and logo. Note that if you want to suggest reliable sources with significant coverage about Pandacoin, you don't actually need to include them in the article; it's enough to simply link them here for reviewers to consider. The nomination depends on notability of the subject, which is unrelated to the state of the article. ––Agyle (talk) 06:36, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient significant coverage by independent reliable sources to establish notability. It received a brief mention 2014-03-11 in International Business Times (UK edition) for being pumped 4400% within a day before closing at a 700% increase. There was a full article on Pandacoin, including an interview, in a 2014-02-14 Cryptocoinsnews.com article, although this is a site I don't consider a reliable source due to its frequency of factual errors and apparent lack of editorial control expected for a serious news organization. Pandacoin is also covered in a number of other blogs and quasi-news sites that I would consider far from reliable (like not even close to Cryptocoinsnews.com), but beyond that I didn't find even trivial mentions in sources that I consider reliable. ––Agyle (talk) 06:36, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am unaware of any RS that has ever called this an Herodotus machine. It has been referred to as Herodotus' machine, that is, the machine described by Herodotus. This is more than a name problem--it's our using an invented specific name for something that has only a generic name.
The article is furthermore POV, advocating for this theory, tho the one reliable source given, ref 4, does not give it this specific name, and thinks it implausible.

delete the only third party coverage is routine business coverage, otherwise this is an advert masquerading as an article. LibStar (talk) 14:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sure, the article is a little promotional and could use some pruning. But any property that gets covered significantly by the Wall Street Journal on three separate occasions is notable. Those are not "routine business coverage" - they are full length staff-written stories by the WSJ about a property located 5,000 miles from the WSJ's home base. That's not even to mention the more local coverage from the Pacific Business News (3 stories) and the expected puffery from publications like Travel and Leisure. --MelanieN (talk) 03:21, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I do agree with MelanieN that the article appears a little promotional. However, I noticed that virtually all pages in category "Resorts in Hawaii" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Resorts_in_Hawaii ) follow the same pattern, writing and illustration style. In addition, the reference to the WSJ should be considered significant indeed. MTK 21:34, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment. @Wikicology, are you recommending deletion in any way?

If this is the case, you may want to withdraw your nom. Have a good one czar ♔01:44, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Before you do that, I'll write a deletion nomination for him: The subject does not meet the WP:GNG in any capacity. It's currently sourced entirely to a first party Facebook page, and a Google search located zero results that help establish notability. (There's no way this is notable, so we shouldn't waste time calling this off due to a bogus nomination when it ought to be deleted. Let's not get too caught up in bureaucracy.)

The result was delete, as no one except the article's creator is advocating that it remain in mainspace. I'll honor Unician's and MichaelQSchmidt's recommendations for userfication by moving the article to User:Doburhoney/Jaat - The Story of Revenge, but since the creator has a habit of recreating articles deleted at AfD—he recreated Rahul Productions for the second time just a few hours ago—I want a "delete" closure on record so that this can be G4'd if he puts it in mainspace again without improvement.

Comment We're not doubting that the film exists. The question is whether it is notable, does it have significant independent press coverage? Follow these links for guidance on what criteria notability is determined on: WP:GNG (for any article) and WP:MOVIE (particularly films). The second issue is that usually people who are close to the subject i.e. the filmmakers in this case, shouldn't create articles as they are likely to have a conflict of interest. Those sources you've cited may help Oviya meet notability but not the film she's in. On a side note, a bit concerned about this editor's recent edits on the actress, Oviya's page. Cowlibob (talk) 14:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's a Hindi Language film without a Hindi language Wikipedia article attached. I found no significant evidence of notability which may change. Looking at the page I don't think it currently offers much to the readers of Wikipedia. I wish the production team success with the film but I dont think it currently warrents the disk space here.

Begging for WP:MERCY doesn't help in these discussion. We're not out to get you or your company. All articles meet the same standards. Currently, unfortunately this article doesn't. The option LongTone is offering is a good one, move the article to your personal userpage and make the relevant edits to show notability by adding sources after the film has released and has got more independent press coverage etc. and then you can potentially resubmit. Look at WP:GNG (for any article) and WP:MOVIE (particularly for films) for guidance on what we want for notability. Cowlibob (talk) 17:26, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Move to userspace. I'm the first independent editor (after the creator, and a bot) to touch this article, when I took out the ((Good Article)) template. I believe the article creator just doesn't understand the workings of Wikipedia. The pleas for more time, with no timescale proposed, are likely too long-term for an AfD discussion, given that the article is now one month old and still has no reliable, independent English-language sources about the film (as opposed to about the actress). Moving to userspace, rather than deletion, would give the author the time he wants to improve the article, as well as time to learn about key Wikipedia topics like WP:COI.

I cannot find any substantial independent sources for this club, either under this name or what is claimed to be its previous name. WP:Help desk#San Diego iCon FC purports to be from an intern at the club, claiming that the history is wrong (the sentences about its history are unreferenced). It rather looks to me as if the club did fold this year, and somebody else has started up a new club with the same name, but that is only a guess. Either way, I don't think it is notable. ColinFine (talk) 08:37, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think that if this is kept, the article title should be changed to the original club name (San Diego Boca FC). According to the article, they played all their matches under the old name and folded before playing any matches as Icon. The name change was initiated by Robert McCrea who still claims to own the club on his LinkedIn page. However, the club's official site says that the current owner is Lynn Borja so these are undoubtedly two different entities and the current title is conflating them.

Comment On 19 June 2014 the nominator PRODed some 50+ Hillsong-related articles see here. From 21 June I noticed this list and that some 10+ of these PRODs were charting albums at either ARIA or Billboard. I have gone through more of the 50+ list and added sources where possible and dePRODed any that I felt had a reliable source for their existence. I was hoping to get time to supply further sources to attempt to establish notability. With so many articles to research this is not necessarily achievable in a short time-frame. The nominator has sent most of the dePRODed articles straight to AfD. I ask for time/assistance in actually searching for sources to support the articles' notability.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 10:12, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'd read "multiple" as more than one. I know a brief comment isn't a review, it's a brief comment. What I'm suggesting is that it indicates that the album might be referred to in more than just the sources I gave. As is, the support for this album looks pretty shaky, unless chart positions are found.--¿3family6contribs00:48, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

From 21 June I noticed this list and that some 10+ of these PRODs were charting albums at either ARIA or Billboard. I have gone through more of the 50+ list and added sources where possible and dePRODed any that I felt had a reliable source for their existence. I was hoping to get time to supply further sources to attempt to establish notability. With so many articles to research this is not necessarily achievable in a short time-frame. The nominator has sent most of the dePRODed articles straight to AfD. I ask for time/assistance in actually searching for sources to support the articles' notability.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:50, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I found a review by Cross Rhythms, so there very well may be other sources out there. I also think this album has been misclassified as a Hillsong release, as Cross Rhythms, AllMusic, and Jesus Freak Hideout (the latter two are purely database entries) consider it a Darlene Zschech release.--¿3family6contribs20:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment With only one source, we can't assume that others exist. Either they have to be produced or we assume non-notable based on a single source. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed that it needs more than one significant mention. Hence my hesitancy to give it a full "keep" vote. But I'm not convinced that there is nothing else written about this album. I haven't done a site search of all the sources on WP:CCM/S, and there could be offline references.--¿3family6contribs00:57, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you agree it has to be more than one, then it should be weak delete, no? The problem with a weak keep is it's essentially a keep and closing admin may interpret it as such. If the decision is closed as "keep", it makes it difficult to delete at a future time. However, if the decision is "delete", the article can be create when additional sources are found. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:16, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I'm changing my vote, as I have now done a search through most of the relevant sources on WP:CCM/S. There may be something buried in the Wayback Machine archives, but that's on the burden of the article creator to find. This article is on the threshold of being kept, but I can't find any additional sources apart from a brief footnote in a book.--¿3family6contribs14:50, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A contributor to the Dutch-language soundtracks for Japanese TV series. There's something delightfully obscure about this; but, well, he's obscure. The article has no independent sourcing. There's a link to an article on him in nl:Wikipedia, but that too has no independent sourcing. I googled and found Wikipedia scrapes, lists (sans commentary) of what he's appeared in, and not much more. His (very flash) website suggests that he's tried a variety of things, but the web doesn't seem to present much coverage of them. Hoary (talk) 02:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Knowledgekid87, I understand from the article on him that Dante Basco did the voice for Zuko in English (and that this is his major claim to fame). We're told that Sander van der Poel did the same for Dutch. I don't see why doing a job in one (Germanic) language is necessarily a greater or lesser achievement than doing it in another; if SvdP's achievements had been at all discussed, he might well merit an article, just as Dante Basco does. ¶ Oh, hang on a moment: the sole assertion in the article on Basco for which an independent source is provided is He attended Orange County High School of the Arts. Uhhh. ¶ Ah well, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. -- Hoary (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Dante's job is more notable because English is both the original language of the series and the language the series is most well known in. - Bensci54 (talk) 03:01, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry, I only glanced at the article, noticed 降卋神通 and so forth, and assumed it was east Asian. Basco's was indeed the original voice. (Or so the article on him tells us. Its writers don't deign to provide any evidence.) -- Hoary (talk) 06:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless more can be found, I did find an unreliable source with an interesting interview with him in Dutch at [15], but I don't see coverage reaching WP:GNG yet. Additional sources welcome, as always. --j⚛e deckertalk05:32, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: She passes WP:GNG. In the article, this can be found in ABC and Diario de Jerez. Outside of the cited sources, there are a number of other sources the demonstrate notability based on the number of sources. They include:
El Correo, a Spanish newspaper where the article is primarily about her
ABC.es, a Spanish news source that primarily talks about her
Que.es, a Spanish newspaper where the article is primarily about her
El Mundo, a Spanish national newspaper that mentions her
Rioja2, a regional newspaper which mentions her in the title and mentioned her in the article
svt.se, a Swedish language newspaper that mentions her

As stated elsewhere, without multiple RSes it should be weak delete because it's easier to recreate an article that has been deleted when additional sources are found than it is to nominate for deletion when additional sources are not found. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Amended to a Strong Keep. It has a solid review by Cross Rhythms and an AllMusic reference. It is also certified Gold by ARIA. Jair Crawford (talk) 04:03, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I've changed my vote, as I have now done a G-books search and url-searched most of the sources on WP:CCM/S, and could not find anything. I will try to do the same for the rest of the Hillsong AfD noms tomorrow.--¿3family6contribs04:04, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Should've read the article a bit more ... But since it's claimed Gold by ARIA which is the equivalent to the BPI ... Seems a sensible idea to keep. –Davey2010 • (talk)15:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reviewed by Cross Rhythms, as per the article, plus it was noted for going platinum page 360. Business Review Weekly: Volume 24, Issues 32-38 mentioned the album on page 66; The Bulletin, Issues 6437-6445 on page 33; and Charisma and Christian Life, Volume 24, Issue 5 on pages 60 and 61; but I do not have access to those source (the page hits I got from Google), so I can't say how significant the mentions are.--¿3family6contribs20:36, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Jesus Is. No arguments were presented toward notability, but no arguments made that would (by WP:ATD) argue against a merge, limited merge, or redirect. A successful merge will obviously depend on the survival of the merge target, which is also the subject of a deletion discussion. No prejudice against a different redirect if that AfD closes delete. j⚛e deckertalk02:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010: There's a whole bunch more of these by the same group that I haven't got around to checking yet - you can find them through the "Albums and songs" DELSORT above. Cheers, Philg88 ♦talk22:16, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Concur. I have checked many of them and they really don't have any notability. The band is notable. They have some very notable releases, but the nominees here don't have any support. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. Per 2e. Notable individual - Google returns 373,000 results for his (exact) name. Article could do with some clean up but that is not a valid reason for deletion. Philg88 ♦talk08:33, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing listed; no examples given. I doubt any conservatives have faced actual "discrimination" in the literal definition of the word as other "discrimination" articles on Wikipedia describe (see discrimination against atheists and discrimination against the homeless, for instance, that deal with legal discrimination against the respective groups). The examples listed at discrimination against conservatives are not discrimination. Seattle (talk) 00:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest listing perceived instances of discrimination against conservatives in the context of an opposition of same sex marriage on the Discrimination against conservatives in the context of an opposition of same sex marriage page for evaluation at this AFD. Seattle (talk) 00:32, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy per above arguments; but even if it was populated from the other article, I'd say delete. I'm not clear why you created this page; it comes across as setting up a backup in case the AfD fails, without addressing the concerns of the AfD. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:27, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for all the reasons listed above, plus the minor additions of my own: (i) the title would be unwieldy even if it were in idiomatic English; (ii) the title isn't in idiomatic English (or at least not in my lect, wherein we have opposition to this or that). -- Hoary (talk) 05:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - CSD A3 - No Content - I'm actually lost as to why the nom (or someone) didn't CSD this in the first place really. –Davey2010 • (talk)22:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per WP:CSD#A3. This is not a notable topic and it begs the question. Essentially, it duplicates the subject of another bad article, Discrimination against conservatives, making it also eligible for WP:CSD#A10.- MrX14:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
