Merge per Spanneraol. I won't spend any time typing up a critique of the arbitrary inclusion rules for baseball players. :) But this article on its own doesn't have any references to speak of, and that's a problem.

Comment Well here's the question: Do the WBC qualifiers count the same as the WBC proper? He played for the Canadian team in the qualifying round, but they didn't reach the main tournament. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IMO no. Being on a team that didn't make it to the tournament itself is just that. Wizardman 02:36, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that yes, it does count, because the qualifying round is part of the tournament. But this may not have been the intention of WP:BASEBALL/N. My input is keep. Tchaliburton (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The qualifying rounds are not part of the actual WBC, they simply allow you to qualify to play in it. Spanneraol (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC) Change to Merge per Alex below. Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is your basis for this assertion? The qualifiers are always referred to as a round of the tournament and it's listed as part of the tournament schedule. (see here) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchaliburton (talk • contribs) 14:49, October 17, 2014

The same reason why the olympics qualifying events arent considered to be actually part of the olympics.Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Olympics aren't comparable. They have separate qualifying events. The WBC does not. The qualifying round is part of the WBC as far as I can tell. Tchaliburton (talk) 18:41, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The qualifying events for the WBC take place months before the rest of the tournament, they can be considered separate events also. Spanneraol (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may consider them separate events, but they are not. Tchaliburton (talk) 19:22, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm curious about Spanner is why you say delete and not merge, considering that there are enough sources to at least make a credible case for GNG (though it may not make it, I'm debating between keep and merge myself). – Muboshgu (talk) 14:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really it's because i didn't realize he was with the Rangers... the article didn't mention it before (said he was part of the Crawdads) and i was too lazy to look into it. My bad. Spanneraol (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Metallic mean[edit]

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

Not notable. The only reference is to a paper written by someone 15 years ago, but not from a reliable source that I can see, just hosted on their personal web. There may be some confusion over the name as that paper seems to be using 'mean' where we'd use 'ratio' (golden ratio, silver ratio etc.) but those already have articles for them, so this is unneeded. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 22:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Silver ratio seems much more notable: it has a Mathworld entry for one which is pretty indicative and that has references. But anyway the notability of other articles is not at issue here per WP:OTHERSTUFF. I see another reference has been added to this but that is actually to the Mathworld entry Silver Ratio and says nothing about the "metallic mean"--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Besides the references already provided, plus the book Wall, H. S. Analytic Theory of Continued Fractions, there are also applications to condensed matter physics related to aperiodic tilings, for example: [1], [2], and [3]. --Sammy1339 (talk) 22:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The third reference you give doesn't use the term "metallic". And all three seem to be self-published papers; are these preprints of articles that have actually been published somewhere with editorial oversight? —Psychonaut (talk) 07:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What term does the third reference given use instead of metallic? Hyacinth (talk) 15:16, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I overlooked that the Wikipedia article we're discussing uses "silver mean" as a synonym for "metallic mean". The third reference does use this synonym. My question about whether any of these terms has been used in peer-reviewed literature still stands. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:23, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Psychonaut: All the papers I cited have been published: [4], [5], [6]. There are numerous other such papers. I chose representative papers from three different research groups. --Sammy1339 (talk) 18:08, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The case is discussed in this source from the University of Zululand: [7] [8]. According to that source (footnote 18 of chapter 2 and footnote 21 of chapter 3) the case is reported at 1949 (4) SA 868 (N). ["SA" is an abbreviation for South African Law Reports]. James500 (talk) 15:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The case reported at 1949 (4) SA 868 (N) is notable. It satisfies GNG. The case appears to have been decided by the KwaZulu-Natal High Court (formerly the Natal Provincial Division) and seems therefore to also satisfy criteria 2 of WP:CASES: [9]. [The abbreviation "N" seems to refer to that court.] James500 (talk) 16:56, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

R v Khan is also an obvious redirect to R. v. Khan. We do not normally delete plausible redirects on grounds of notability (WP:R). James500 (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment One case is about a killed animal, and the other is about a raped child. I can't follow you. Could you please explain me what sort of redirect are we talking about? Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 08:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Redirect explains what a redirect is. We normally allow a redirect from an obvious alternative spelling of a name (including plausible misnomers). The present subject matter isn't relevant because redirecting a page involves blanking it. The two pages have the same name with slightly different punctuation. The difference between them is two full stops. [The South African case appears to be about "charge splitting" (charging a defendent with multiple offences in respect of a single act).] James500 (talk) 14:51, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The legal eagles have determined that it's notable, so: (1) add the above refs; (2) move to R v Khan (South Africa); (3) move R. v. Khan to R v Khan (Canada); (4) re-create the present page as a disambig: Noyster (talk), 11:44, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, per User:James500, but with an added request for caution. "Khan" is a reasonably common surname, and it appears that there are at least two cases that have this name.

Speedy Delete A7. Kristen Everetta: The Great Gazoo (talk) 03:20, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I've declined the speedy, as A7 doesn't apply to fictional characters. We don't really have any good speedy deletion options for books and fictional things. The only time we can delete something like this is if it's unambiguously promotional or if the character is so obviously created on the spot (as in something I just created right now) that it'd fall under WP:ONEDAY. This does't really qualify for either of those, although this is somewhat promotional in tone at times. That said, I'm mildly concerned about the fairly large amount of SPAs editing the article in such a short period of time. In any case, the book looks like it should be notable, so I'm going to try to find enough sources to make an article for the book. If I'm successful then I'd suggest redirecting there. If not, then it'd be a delete. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:23, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am, however, debating opening up an SPI for this because this looks like it's a case of 1-2 people creating quite a bit of sockpuppets for an article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kazipur River[edit]

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

Talk page mistakenly nominated at Miscellany for Deletion. Rationale was: "This page cites no sources. The statements in it appear to be dubious, that old maps shows the Ichamati river entering the Karatoya, but the Ichamati now enters the Karatoya. I've already removed the claim that "Nalkaseganj, an important commercial centre at the junction of the two main inland waterways of the subdivision." because I can find no evidence of any such place on maps in Banglapedia or on the Web. I think this page is a hoax." Original nomination by Sminthopsis84 Oiyarbepsy (talk) 18:45, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the research of Jakob and Sminthopsis84, below.~~Weak delete~~. I couldn't find any reliable references to this river in English (except what appeared to be text copied from Wikipedia). Since "Kazipur" is a village, it makes it harder to filter out spurious hits. I found a few references, but none that could be viewed as reliable, e.g.:

(1) ~~a flickr reference [10], which mentions the Kazipur River. Also a similar reference in Facebook [11].~~ I should have caught this sooner -- appears to be copied from Wikipedia.

(2) a picture in a blog [12], but based on other reading, I think this may actually be a picture of erosion of some river or other (maybe the Jamuna) in the area around the village of Kazipur.

I also searched for কাজীপুর নদী in Bengali. Not knowing Bengali, I used Google translate to try and make sense of the refernces, but couldn't find any reference to the Kazipur River. The article claims the Kazipur is an offshoot of the Jamuna River, so I checked that article for references to the Kazipur, but didn't find any. It's certainly possible references exist, but there's insufficient evidence at this point.--Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update to my searches: By reading other Wikipedia articles on the rivers in Bangladesh, I'm beginning to think that banglapedia [13] might have something - I feel like I just keep missing it. So far, I've found [14], which talks about the village of Kazipur, and has a map showing that the Jamuna river passes by, with many branches. If anyone is more familiar with this, it would be a big help! --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 20:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, thank you folks for looking at this! Armed with the possibility that this was a real river, I tried again and got a little further, figuring out that Royganj and Raiganj are alternative spellings. Looking at the map in Banglapedia of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila, which is immediately south of Kazipur Upazila (an Upazila being a sub-district), there are some suggestive blue squiggles showing a river that comes from Kazipur and joins the Ichamati, so perhaps if the river has been chopped in a confusing way outside the subdistrict boundary on the map of Kazipur Upazila, then the existence of the river could be plausible. The earlier material "The combined waters of the Kazipur and the Ichamati flow south by a winding course through Serajganj thana until they enter the Karatoya River" may also be plausible if one looks at the map of Kamarkhanda Upazila, which is south of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila. That reasoning means that what is probably referred to as the Ichamati would join the Karatoya in Raiganj, and it actually does in the bottom right of Banglapedia's map of Raiganj. By jimminy, there's actually a place called Nalka at that spot, which bears some resemblance to the Nalkaseganj name in the original text! So the original "flow south by a winding course through Serajganj thana until they enter the Karatoya River at Nalkaseganj, an important commercial centre at the junction of the two main inland waterways of the subdivision." could read "flow south by a winding course through Sirajganj Sadar Upazila until they enter the Karatoya River at Nalka, an important commercial centre at the junction of the two main inland waterways of Raiganj Upazila. I had thought the page was a hoax to promote some particular commercial venture, with someone's imaginings about a river, but it is clearly based on something on the ground.

Delete as not notable. You can add almost any word to -phobia and come up with a new phobia and odds are that there is someone in the world that has it. Quote from List of phobias: "A large number of -phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. ... Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines." The sources in most of the articles appear to be that kind of web sites. For the phobias to be notable they should be mentioned in WP:MEDRS for the parts about symptoms and treatment and they should be mentioned in "regular" WP:RS for other facts such as suffers or mentions in popular culture.

Dear PlanetStar, thank you for your input. Unfortunately, I do not think that the new citations meet the criteria of reliable sources; the Forbes citation only cites the other blog source the WP article cites. It also mentions possible treatment, which is merely the standard treatment of phobias. Moreover, the problem in the above articles is not the lack of citations; is the lack of sources that prove the notability of the above conditions. All the above phobias are mere neologisms; making a new article for every one of them would turn Wikipedia into a dictionary. NikosGouliaros (talk) 08:24, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now I added citations using about.com, which I thought they're reliable source. Planet Star 22:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear fellow wikipedian, please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). An example of a phobia that can be supported by reliable references - and therefore could be added to a legitimate list of phobias, as it has been proposed in the relative discussion in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine - is severe-weather phobia, described here. Though ironically I think there is no article for the specific phobia - not that there should be. NikosGouliaros (talk) 23:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. The sourcing is entirely unacceptable, and the 'phobias' appear to be neologisms invented either as word-games, or as click-bait for websites promoting supposed 'cures'. Unless and until it can be demonstrated that a supposed 'phobia' is discussed in sources complying with WP:MEDRS, we have no business implying that such specific phobias have any recognition at all. Clinical psychology isn't an exercise in labelling, and cobbled-together pseudoscientific terminology is neither necessary nor appropriate in treatment of anxiety disorders. The terms are non-notable by Wikipedia standards, being found nowhere but in sources which exist solely to promote them. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:31, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you describe what Wikipedia criteria he meets? --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 18:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep ~~Comment~~. The article doesn't help its own cause very much, but an article like this [15] makes me think he may meet general notability guidelines. It will take more time to check things out. In the meantime, I've placed questions under the above two keeps. It will help point me in the right direction. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 18:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't yet seen any reason why Isaac Slade meets WP:MUSICBIO. However, general notability is another question. The Denver Post article I referenced above [16] is a major article about Slade as an individual. Already cited in the Wikipedia article, this British news article [17] talks about Slade's personal life. Plus, there's this rather odd piece [18] from 2007 about potentially inheriting a $15 million mansion. There are also a bunch of interview-the-band-member articles, which by themselves aren't that big a deal, but contribute a little. Although it's a strange mix of unrelated stuff, I think that adds up to significant coverage of multiple events by non-local sources. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 18:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

advertising The Banner talk 12:31, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak ~~delete~~ keep - tough one. It's definitely written like an advertisement and most of the references are self-published. That said, there's at least one independent magazine article there and a couple of awards. I'm swayed by the fact that most of her exhibitions have been in the Netherlands suggesting little impact or notability outside her own country. That's not a deal-killer but combined with the seeming lack of significant coverage, I'm leaning delete at this stage. But a good reference or two would get this over the line (provided it is re-written). St★lwart¹¹¹ 13:08, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Still not entirely convinced but the sources added by Trackinfo are enough to convince me this probably shouldn't be deleted. Still needs major work, though. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep – Agree that the article is extremely promotional. However, there does seem to be enough coverage in Europe to warrant inclusion. If consensus is Keep, I’ll prune the piece back. ShoesssS ^Talk 13:12, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shoessss, I'm genuinely open to being convinced here. Can you give me an indication of which coverage you considered in drawing your conclusion? St★lwart¹¹¹ 13:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article needs work, but there's enough good material there to make it worth keeping and improving. The number of awards received is worth noting.Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The number of awards won is irrelevant (4); what we need to consider is the significance of the awards. In this case they are almost entirely local and 3 of them were awarded at the same event. That doesn't seem like a demonstration of significance or notability. St★lwart¹¹¹ 20:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep What we argue first here is notability. I have added a few sources from fashion press "Independent Fashion Daily," "World Fashion Hub," and her resume posted on "Modern On Line." It looks like she is getting legitimate coverage within her niche. That established we have no business deleting the article. As for the self-promotional and self-sourced aspects of the content, that needs to be edited carefully, first checking to see what facts verify from more legitimate sources. So far from my search (no I have not gone point by point), everything included in the article is backed up. Trackinfo (talk) 03:20, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The nomination reason is advertising, mr. Trackinfo. The Banner talk 08:43, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The mention of virtually any entity on wikipedia is a form of advertising--unpaid promotion. Our job as a reference source is to select from entities that are doing something of significance, or merely ones that wish to use our service to try to promote their way into becoming such. We judge that by notability, by the coverage they get in media independent of the subject. If we were to eliminate anybody trying to sell a product, we may as well delete the articles for Microsoft, Apple, Exxon . . . which would be doing our readers an injustice because we are not telling them about things that affect their world. And most importantly, we do not delete the entire subject, when the solution to a problem might be trimming some content. That is a process called editing.

- Well-known isn't a criteria for inclusion, WP:GNG would be the base criteria. It reads that the topic has "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Simply being well-known isn't there, but if you find people writing articles and essays about the song, it would qualify. I couldn't find that. I could only find mentions of it. Other wikipedia projects have different criteria for inclusion. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:23, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In short, if there are other songs that need to go through this process, we can do so for each of them, but their existence is not a reason to keep this article on Wikipedia.

Does the number of notable bands that have covered the song and that it has been used in a movie count(?) I'm not sure if that warrants a page by itself but it would be good if the content could be kept as it's well written. For what it is worth - I don't believe there were any singles from the Master of Puppets album, but this song gas remained a regularly played live song up until today, and Metallica play to large audiences headlining stadiums and festivals. In the early nineties I remember learning the riff on the guitar so I found this page interesting reading. Willzuk (talk) 18:15, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The title track was released as a single, but this track was not. I think Anthrax is the most notable band to cover the song, but other covers are mainly by metal bands that aren't known worldwide.--Retrohead (talk) 19:01, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It depends how it was used it the filme and what kind of film. If it was simply background music in the film, and receives a credit, then no. If it's a plot-point in the film, in other words, if the characters take note of the music or the song repeats to help progress the plot, and the film itself is notable (i.e. not a student piece or something that was direct to video and doesn't have an IMDB, Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes review) then, yes, that would make the song notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:14, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The movie was Paradise Lost - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117293/?ref_=nv_sr_1 you'll see that under soundtrack it is the first song listed. There are three films and the wikipedia page says the song featured in the intro for all of them - I would say the film is notable ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost:_The_Child_Murders_at_Robin_Hood_Hills ) and it has received much attention. This page says it was the first song Metallica allowed to be used in a movie - http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2692 . I would say that some of the other bands who are listed as covering it are well known worldwide, i.e. Machine Head, Limp Bizkit, Bullet for my valentine. The song also features in the computer game "Guitar Hero" Metallica edition. (I'm not knowledgable enough on wiki notability to say if that makes the song notable but I hope it helps!) Willzuk (talk) 16:14, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per soundtrack inclusion and some mediocre refs: blabbermouth.net, readers-poll-the-10-best-metallica-songs, The Top 10 Greatest Chorus Effect Recordings of All Time. Obviously not their most famous song, but with The Metallica topics already so bloated, squeezing it back into the album page doesn't seem like the best option. If the content can't be improved beyond this after efforts are made, then I'd say consider deleting and merging, at least the soundtrack info. Earflaps (talk) 18:43, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And how can you prove the song's importance by citing a readers poll and a blog of "greatest choruses"? Are there any encyclopedias, books, or music writers analyzing the song?--Retrohead (talk) 17:13, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is very well-known. He just stated his reasons. There are only like 2 other useful encyclopedias on the internet, but its on many other language wikipedias.--Old Time Music Fan (talk) 17:21, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very well-known according to who? Personal opinion on song importance has zero value on Wiki.

Indeed, a city with a population of 44K is not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its mayors under WP:NPOL. It's large enough that a genuinely substantive and properly sourced article about the mayor could potentially be kept, but it doesn't give the mayor an automatic entitlement to keep an article that's effectively just a thinly veiled rewrite of his own campaign bio, or that's sourced only to his own campaign bio on his own campaign website (which would have been an invalid primary source that could not confer notability even if it weren't now a dead link.) So it's possible that he might qualify for a good article, if somebody can write and source one, but he's in no way entitled to keep this. delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:44, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

David Chacón Perez[edit]

Not notable. Looks like a well referenced article but that is just smoke and mirrors (much like other deceptive articles created by the same editor). A look at the current sourcing:

1 "Grachi conquista los Kids' Choice Awards de Nickelodeon" - No mention of Perez

2 "TV Production. Producing tween telenovelas finds a home in Miami" - dead link

3 "Theatre in Venezuela: Avant Première" - actual title "Sindy Lazo, Marcos Moreno y Adolfo Cubas le meten a la pornografía". listing with minor mention as director, does not support claim

4 "Bambalinas. Espectáculos en Miami" - trivial mention, does not support claim.

5 "Broadway en Nuestra Belleza Latina" - by his employer, not independent

6 "Con pasos de reina. La actitud es la clave del éxito" - by his employer, not independent

7 "David Chacón es parte de Nuestra Belleza Latina 2010" - by his employer, not independent

8 David Chacón Perez Bio at IMDb. - not a reliable source

9 "David Chacón en Nuestra Belleza Latina. Conoce a las 12 finalistas. Los jueces hicieron su selección" - by his employer, not independent

10 "La Máxima Felicidad" llega a Miami" - dead link

11 "Comedia del peruano Jaime Nieto en el Miami Globo Theater dirigida por David Chacón Perez" - actual title is "Dick y Pusi, dos estrellas del porno, se aman locamente de Jaime Nieto". Short mention of Perez as the director of this play.

12 "Hermana Act directed by David Chacón Perez" - actual title is "Hermana Act". Event listing that mentions him as director.

13 "Director Venezolano David Chacón Estrena reality Show en Miami" - dead link

None provide any depth of coverage about Perez. A search found nothing better.
Perez was one of many producers of "¡Viva el Sueño!" and directsl local plays in Miami. Not seeing any notability. Even if he is, the promo piece is not the appropriate article and should be blown away.

Delete as press-releases masquerading as a wikipedia article, and failing WP:GNG/WP:NAUTHOR. While the subject has a substantial web-presence due to dozens of cross-linked websites run by him, I didn't find any substantial (or, even trivial) coverage in reliable independent sources. The "National Glory" award from the "Kremlin Foundation" appears to be non-noteworthy; the book, self-published and not reviewed anywhere; and the business association with Viktor Petrik means that we should be doubly careful in evaluating sources, awards etc. Also note that the article creator O21cd (talk · contribs) (now blocked) and Nileshneel (talk · contribs) are likely sock/meat-puppets given that o21cd is the name of one of Neel's enterprises.

Keep - a clear decision for as influential a journalist as Hepworth. His impact on the music industry of the 1980s was sizeable, and his Wikipedia page has nearly 100 links to it.

Keep One of the most influential music journalist and media analyists of the last 40 years. Hepworth is a heavyweight and has a commendable and still relevant career. He was instrumental in the foundation of a number of highly popular magazines in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and a driving force behind "Smash Hits" in it's heyday. He presented the BBC broadcast of Live Aid on 13 July 1985, goading Geldof into asking viewers to send them their *fucking money*. That alone. Give the man his respect.

Frontier (subgenre)[edit]

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

WP:MADEUP: this is a neologism supported by an old page on an obscure website and a link to a syllabus for a high-school class on "The Frontier as a Theme in Science Fiction". The other "sources" are just links to Google Books searches that find the word "frontier" in books about SF. Orange Mike | Talk 03:19, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, they do indeed mention the frontier theme in sci-fi and sci-fi factor explains it's a theme that discusses space exploration and in case anybody hasn't noticed, we have no subgenre that covers that. People falsely claim space opera covers that, but it doesn't. Space opera is about battles and conflicts set in space and other planets. Oppose delete.--Taeyebaar (talk) 05:21, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- reply - neither themes, motifs nor memes constitute subgenres. There are no SF conventions dedicated to "Frontier SF", no publishers publishing "frontier SF", no critics doing "A Survey of Frontier SF after World War II". You've got a terminological misunderstanding going on here. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's true that some people have discussed frontier-related concepts in the context of science fiction but these sources aren't strong enough (in my view) to substantiate the claim that "Frontier" exists as a defined and notable sub-genre of science fiction generally. That doesn't mean that some games, films and books haven't touched on such concepts as other games, films and books have done in other genres. There is, for example, a strong "frontier" theme to many post-apocalyptic works in a "re-exploration" context. But drawing these disparate parts and examples together under an otherwise unrecognised umbrella term is synthesis. That we can conduct our own original research and find "examples" is not a sufficiently strong case for keeping this. The fact that experts haven't yet identified a term to "fill the gap" doesn't mean we should. St★lwart¹¹¹ 09:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The problem here is that while I can find things that focus on the theme of the frontier in science-fiction, I don't see where it's really turned into a fully developed subgenre per se. In other words, it's used as a descriptive term but isn't really used to refer to a subgenre specifically and at most, this is a neologism. A theme is not necessarily a subgenre. The two terms can be very, very close in how they're used but strictly speaking a theme is more of a general concept whereas a subgenre would be a set concept that something would have (ie, "coming of age", "slice of life"). Basically, the difficulty here lies in showing that this is clearly defined enough to be easily labeled a subgenre. It's an insanely hard thing to do, especially with very broad concepts that someone could argue is a mainstay of the basic science fiction genre as a whole. What we're dealing with here is that we have to not only show that "frontier" is a legitimate subgenre of science-fiction but to also show that the term is frequently used enough to where it'd merit an article separate from the main science fiction pages. I'd like to hold up new-adult fiction as an example of how insanely hard it is to get a term popularized enough to where it'd gain notice enough to warrant its own entry. This genre of fiction has been around for years, yet only recently has it gained enough coverage to merit an article... and even then that article's notability was challenged. I'm looking for sources on this, but I'm not coming up with all that much as far as coverage goes. What we need here is a lot of coverage that specifically refers to frontier as a subgenre. The problem here is that a lot of this could be considered original research since Science Fiction: A Very Short Introduction does not actually mention frontier as a subgenre- meaning that this is a connection that User:Taeyebaar came up with on his own. Now don't get me wrong- I think that as a subgenre this makes sense and I can see where you're coming from with this. It's just that right now all we have are ultimately a few texts that focus on "frontier as theme" and your personal attestation that it's a separate, recognized subgenre. That's pretty much the catch of all of this: I don't see where the term is frequently used enough to where it's a recognized subgenre of science fiction and per your own words, it seems like many consider it to be part of space opera. Wikipedia is not the place to popularize a term or to correct things that you personally feel are incorrectly categorized. Again, I do understand what you're trying to do here but this just isn't the right place for this, not when we can't find the research to back up your claims that this is an existing subgenre. I can't even see where publishers are using this term, and that's fairly telling because publishers love to subcategorize things because it means that they can advertise things in a new, more exciting way. (Publishers were the main driving force behind new adult fiction, which was part of the reason the article came up for scrutiny.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:14, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can see where it's slowly getting there, but it's just not there yet. At best this is just WP:TOOSOON and at worst this is something that will remain forever unverifiable because the subgenre could be considered far too wide of a concept to neatly fit into the idea of a subgenre.

Merge. As soon as I read this page I thought it read like a theme that fitted within the Space opera sub-genre of science fiction. A check of that page shows the Frontier page listed as a "See also" link. So rather than lose the work that has been done here (admittedly there's not a lot) I suggest it gets copied into the higher level Space opera page and edited appropriately there. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:15, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to above - No it's not space opera. I already discussed it. Space opera is about conflict-type adventure totally different from Frontier. If it constitutes wp:toosoon, then I suggest we save it until future time when it is notable. Also Star Trek is NOT Space opera.--Taeyebaar (talk) 22:01, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arguably, nor is Stargate SG1 and its ilk. But you're missing the point. Things need to be notable (which means having received significant coverage in reliable sources) before we create articles. We don't keep/save things and hope they become notable because WP is not a publisher of original thought. You can't simply invent something because you see a gap and then synthesise and article based on passing mentions and personal interpretations. St★lwart¹¹¹ 23:06, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I quote from the Frontiers page "Another common depiction in Frontier is contact between humans (or whichever species is shown traveling) and another species that live in the uncharted region of space. Mutual co-operation or conflict between the two civilizations is also a common occurrence." And the note from Taeyebaar says: "Space opera is about battles and conflicts set in space and other planets." I see some strong similarities between these two. If this page isn't merged with Space Opera I would expect it will be deleted as I don't see "Frontier" sf being a specific and distinct sub-genre. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 00:14, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict does occur, but not necessarily. Space opera is more about epic battles, whereas Frontier occasionally as it.--Taeyebaar (talk) 01:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merging on the basis of personal interpretation isn't much better than creating an article on that basis in the first place. They are clearly distinct concepts, it's just that one is notable and the other isn't (yet). St★lwart¹¹¹ 00:42, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Page could use some improvement and expansion. What's more is I keep getting messages that it's been linked on many pages. Anyways i never came up with the name. It said on those websites. I was looking for the subgenre that describes space exploration and I found this to be the one. Otherwise we can also re-title it.--Taeyebaar (talk) 01:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Perry Middlemiss, whoever called stargate space opera ??? :-\ Taeyebaar (talk) 01:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Stargate suggestion was mine; I was suggesting that other media logically fits into the theme described. But that doesn't make that theme a notable sub-genre. I don't think there is an accurate sub-genre to describe what we're talking about. But that doesn't mean we should invent one or synthesise one. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:08, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I only put in the word as the sources described. That's it--Taeyebaar (talk) 05:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bulk of the arguments here would be nullified if you could include the sources you refer to in that statement, on the page as citations. I've just checked the online edition of "SF Encyclopedia" and while the term "frontier" does turn up a number of times, the search hits only lead to book titles, game titles and tv shows. The closest I could find was under the subject header "Scientific Romance" as follows: "Brian M Stableford later revived [Scientific Romance as a term] in order to facilitate the comparison and contrast of the distinct UK and US traditions of speculative fiction; his study of the UK genre's separate evolution before the triumph of genre sf is Scientific Romance in Britain 1890-1950 (1985). In that book, and in entries throughout this encyclopedia (see in particular Evolution, Religion), the term can be seen as tending to describe works characterized by long evolutionary perspectives; by a focus on long vistas brooded upon by meditative protagonists (> New Zealander; Ruins and Futurity); by an absence of much sense of the frontier and a scarcity of the kind of Pulp-magazine-derived Hero who is designed to penetrate any frontier available; and in general by a tone moderately less hopeful about the future than that typical of genre sf until recent decades (> Optimism and Pessimism). - See more at: http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/scientific_romance#sthash.sdChxy3H.dpuf". Maybe the information on the Frontier page better fits under Planetary romance.

I suspect the number of page links is due to the fact that the term "Frontier" as been added as a subgenre on the Science Fiction template. Every page that accesses that template will link back to the Frontiers page. So the page link number will be quite high. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 05:24, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Space Western, which is what I think the article is supposed to be about. I somewhat recently rewrote that page, and frontier settings do come up in the sources for that notable genre. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:19, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy with that so long as "Frontier" becomes a sub-heading on the "Space Western" page. If "Frontier SF" becomes a recognizable independent genre at any time in the future then the original page can be re-instated. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:05, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
