The Harrow, Steep[edit]

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

I don't see any reason on why this pub should have its own article. It is a Grade II listed building, but so are many other pubs in England. I don't see what makes this significant or important enough to justify having its own article. A quick search isn't inspiring either, it just looks like an ordinary pub and is nowhere near notable enough to have its own article. JAGUAR 21:23, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:

Listed building with Historic England

On the national register of historic pub interiors

The Guardian: "One of Britain's timeless, rural watering holes"

The Daily Telegraph: "The Harrow at Steep is always in any saloon-bar symposium of great pubs"

Philafrenzy (talk) 22:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Passes WP:GNG. There are dedicated articles specifically about this pub (and just this pub) in two national newspapers. In any event, no valid deletion rationale has been given. Edwardx (talk) 22:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep due to the sources in the article indicating passing WP:GNG. Nice work Philafrenzy and Edwardx. The nom should understand no matter how "ordinary" a topic may seem after a brief look, it can still pass our notability guidelines.--Oakshade (talk) 03:18, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Grade II listing doesn't automatically make a building notable, but it's an indication that it quite probably is, and with all the other things I think it surmounts the notability bar. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I did stop there about thirty years ago because my young daughter was thirsty. It looks a particularly ordinary, not very ancient, country pub. Notable perhaps for not being poshed up like so many. I am not sure a couple of writeups by national journalists who may have a local interest really confer notability.Charles (talk) 10:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that WP:GEOFEAT says that all protected heritage buildings in every country are presumed to be notable. We haven't in the past applied this to every listed building in England (only to those with Grade I and II* listings), but maybe we should do given that it does seem to be applied to other countries. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:21, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I hope you are not serious. There are hundreds of thousands of Grade II listed buildings in the UK, most of them quite ordinary houses or barns.Charles (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm fully aware of that. However, note that there are currently 80,000 listings on the US National Register of Historic Places, in a country with a much shorter history of built heritage than the UK, and we already consider all of them to be notable and worthy of articles. The vast majority are of no greater notability than the average Grade II-listed building in England and many of them of considerably less notability. And again, why should WP:GEOFEAT not apply to the UK? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:20, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agree, and once the article is done it is relatively low maintenance as they don't die, win an election, or bring out a hit record. I agree, however, that we don't need an article for every individual listing. Many can be combined, e.g. a row of similar houses can be dealt with as one, or the subject can be dealt with inside another article. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:35, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, I would agree that on a street with a number of listed houses they should not all have individual articles, but the street itself probably should. Or a farm or industrial complex which has several listed buildings - the complex should have an article, but not every listed building. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - I wonder how that will work with all the II listed primary schools that are redirected as non-notable. No. There are just too many listed buildings over here to contemplate articles on every group let alone every one. Ayway WP:GEOFEAT actually says Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments can be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. They require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. They are not inherently notable.Charles (talk) 21:13, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        In fact, any listed primary school that's proposed for deletion is kept as long as that listed status has been highlighted in the article or discussion. Can't remember one not being. You seem to have conveniently missed the first criterion on WP:GEOFEAT (I really can't imagine how you did, given you spotted the one beneath it): "Artificial geographical features that are officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level and which verifiable information beyond simple statistics are available are presumed to be notable." Kindly explain why that does not apply to listed buildings in England, given that, if nothing else, every listed building has a writeup beyond simple statistics on Historic England's website. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:53, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holmlea Primary School for a listed building that was nominated last month, with a Speedy Keep result. Nominating articles for AfD creates a lot of work for other editors. It would be more considerate of others if nominators took the trouble to study WP:BEFORE first, so that AfD could focus on the genuinely debatable cases. Edwardx (talk) 09:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        I take the paragraph specifically on buildings as being the standard for buildings. The vague term "Artificial geographical features" is less specific and may include such things as artificial mounds. What you are saying is your interpretation of the guideline but it is not written there. "significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources" means more than a single listing in a very long list of protected buildings.Charles (talk) 09:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        No, a building is clearly an "artificial geographical feature" by any definition. What GEOFEAT is saying is that those listed as heritage features are presumed notable, but others that aren't listed may be notable depending on the circumstances. It's quite clear. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:36, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Absolutely correct. Heritage buildings are presumed notable and other artificial features may be if GNG is met. No doubt on the matter I think. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        If you are correct it indicates that the guideline is US-centric. It is good that we are using some WP:COMMONSENSE in not blindly applying the guideline to the lowest type of listing in UK. WP:GNG is just as valid a guideline. Long may this continue.Charles (talk) 19:43, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he plays in the Persian Gulf Cup.

Comment: I am finding some coverage for this company: BBC, Guardian (sort of in passing, almost a trivial source). Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:24, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. After some searching I found that there was a brief flurry of coverage where the company was briefly mentioned along with two other companies as an example of their type, but the coverage was not entirely in depth. Aside from the two above, the only other two that are decent are the ones on the article, from the Sunday Times (paywalled) and the Telegraph. This really doesn't seem like enough to truly give a good depth of coverage, although I will say that the Guardian article was from 2006, the BBC from 2008, and the other two from 2010. The other mentioned coverage is from 2014, but the coverage is sort of in passing since the main focus was on covering students purchasing essays and raising awareness that they shouldn't do it. It's close, but I don't know that this is really heavy enough to warrant an article, as companies are expected to have more coverage than the average GNG article. If anyone can find anything better, I'm open to persuasion since this is fairly borderline for me. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:41, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep absent any valid reason for deletion. The article's references appear to establish a reasonable case that the subject satisfies the GNG, and the nominator makes no argument otherwise. It's not necessary to meet an SNG if the subject meets the GNG. This is not the way to treat a good faith effort by an inexperienced editor.

Delete per WP:TNT. The subject does appear to be notable, but the current article contains nothing worth saving; it should be taken down until it's more comprehensible and less of a peacock-fest.

Uncertain perhaps as I notice this may be keepable and the best my searches found was only one Variety review at Books but I also weigh deleting because there's simply hardly much and it shows at his IMDb. Certainly this will need familiar Swedish attention so perhaps Josve05a and Chiswick Chap can help here? SwisterTwister talk 07:33, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable. I did look at it, and thought it was marginal both in interest and notability. However, since you ask, there are a couple of brief passing mentions in Norran, a regional newspaper. There's another brief mention in Eskilstuna Kurir, a local paper. Even briefer in VLT. None of these are substantial enough to confer notability, and most of the publications are frankly minor. At best this is WP:TOOSOON. The sources in the article don't add up to much either (Sveriges Radio only mention him in a list of "they also took part"), though the TV appearance probably counts towards notability. It isn't enough. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Has appeared in many famous Swedish films and TV series. J 1982 (talk) 14:22, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@J 1982: As an extra or what? Is that your opinion, or can you prove it with reliable sources? If he's famous he ought to be appearing in newspapers and so on, which he isn't. Can you provide references for major roles he has played? Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

user J 1982 is right. AfD is not a clean-up service or a tool for making a article better. It is purely for establishing notability or not. Clearly this actor has had important roles. Improvements and expansions can be done. But not by request upon AfD. Period. This article covers WP:GNG. Period.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:54, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BabbaQ: We aren't asking for cleanup, but for deletion on grounds of failing notability, so blustering rhetoric "(. Period. ... Period.)" is way off-beam. If you believe the subject meets the GNG then all you have to do is to provide sources. I had a serious look in the usual places and couldn't find them; if you know of some, now is the time to produce them and I'll happily change my mind. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:17, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the deletion !votes then referring to the articles quality instead of notability?. --BabbaQ (talk) 18:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I'd been pretty clear on the matter, but am happy to state plainly that as it stands I have been unable to find proof of notability, and nor it seems has anyone else. I listed what I could find above, and it's not nearly enough. If you can find more, I'll be listening. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this fellow seems to have ample film credits and other work. I see potential for 10x or more expansion to this article if the right fan/editor or Swedish film expert contributes to the article. --♥Golf (talk) 02:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He seems to have appeared almost exclusively in minor roles. But if not appearing in newspapers or magazines anywhere in Scandinavia or elsewhere in the world confers notability nowadays, I'm happy to go along with the consensus. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article topic is not the subject of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) There are sources for Aurous (website), one of his creators, so a redirect there would be acceptable. Otherwise, the sources currently in the article are mostly primary sources and there was nothing extra about the individual in a search of major tech sources.

List of Czech supercentenarians[edit]

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

This page contains too many contradictions and inaccurancies to be kept. It claims to list Super Old People (110+) born in the Czech Republic but that premise is impossible for the Czech Republic is not that old itself. Even if you generously say that this covers people born within the modern Czech Republic borders, that is an artificial construct given some died before the state was formed and therefore have no connection to it.

The lead text is not supported by the tables. There is no one listed as pending in the tables as claimed in the lead, There are apparently no living 110yr+ people in the country which suggests no need for an article.

Past residents of the Czech Republic are detailed in a 'list' of one person that died in the 1960's - decades before the Czech Republic was formed. So they should be listed on some other page. However, maybe the current list of one should be replaced by another person from down in the bottom list who lived to 110yrs+48 days and actually died in the Czech Republic.

None of the 4 emigrants listed ever lived in the Czech Republic and should be listed whereever they died.

The oldest people in the Czech Republic list at the bottom is OR and only has one person on it briefly (48 days) qualified for mention according to the page name. If oldest person at a given date in a country is encyclopedic and verifiable this list of people who all (but 1) died before -110 does not belong on a page titled for 110+ year olds.

I highly doubt the few names here of people who lived past 110 yrs are dealt with consistently on the European, Austro-Hungary, Year of Death, oldest by country, or other related lists because I've found no consistency between these lists at all. Streamline topic coverage by deleting this page and moving names to year of death and Europe lists because evidently the interested topics editors are incapable of maintaining such a large universe of lists spead over so many pages.

Delete: I guess it is best to try to establish a single unified list for the whole Europe. Europe has so many small countries and border changes that keeping these separate is like begging for trouble. In the 2050s they might be able to exist separately, but we do not yet have enough content to include for each and every European country. In contrast, the United States probably deserves its own article. Lets wait half a century, and then reconsider recreating this article. Ceosad (talk) 17:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What is often forgotten in looking at the notability of a list like this, is that it isn't enough for there to be reliable secondary sources that qualify subjects for a place on the list - this list topic itself must be notable. In this specific case, this means that it isn't enough that we have sources that give people at a certain age - there must be sources that establish the notability of the topic of Czech supercentenarians as a whole, and I think it's pretty clear we don't have that.

Keep This looks too large to merge into a larger article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a surprising comment suggesting a misunderstanding of the rational for deletion - 100% of the people on the Czech list should already be on the Europe list (and if not, should be added) so no merge is required or proposed. If there is a different point being made, please clarify. Legacypac (talk) 20:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As stated above, this article fails WP: LISTN as no sources discuss this particular data set. The two references used for this article are both GRG tables which do nothing to establish notability. Note that these two sources are just names in a table and don't discuss "Czech Republic supercentenarians". I also removed the chronological list section as all but one name was a supercentenarian.

Keep There's no reason to delete this list. Merging all the articles into one giant Europe list sounds like a bad idea and will not bring anything helpful with it. It is easier to navigate when we have lists for each and every country since it makes it possible for us to see which countries have produced the most, and the least, amount of supercentenarians. If the result of this AfD is to merge it to the "Europe list" then I agree with Ollie231213, that none of the relevant information in this list should be deleted. 930310 (talk) 09:19, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:35, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Shawn in Montreal: I wrongly assumed that these people failed the WP:GOOGLETEST. I live in Finland, so the Google decided to spam me with very fringe search results about Kurdish diaspora activities in Sweden. (Swedish is an official language here too.) The local search engine biases can get misleading, and in this case they were extremely bad for me. The very few comprehensible sources I found and looked at were all about diaspora stuff. I should use other search engines more often, especially when Sweden is concerned. A few years ago the Finnish street names were all broken on Google Maps for many months and they all had Swedish names etc. Something might be broken in my Google settings too.

Keep I think the nominator has an ideosyncratic view of what a "vanity article" is. The creator of this article (Vekoler) has worked on Wikipedia for over ten years, and created a number of articles about important Kurds. His earlier creations, such as this one, reflect the citation style and throughness of Wikipedia at the time they were written. If it were not for the nominator's failure to perform WP:BEFORE searching in nominating a large number of Kurdish articles, and failing in some cases, such as in this one, to notify article creators about the AFDs, and as an IP editor failing to check archive data in the process of marking citation links as dead and declaring articles to be unsourced, he might be forgiven for mistaking this non-promotional article for a "vanity" one.

I am currently in progress of saving two Indian women related articles which were recently PRODded for being badly referenced. I am no stranger for saving messy articles, even though your actions have been much more commendable. My original offhand remark was about the weird mentality these Indian articles suffer from, as they tend to come in existence right before any easily reachable in-depth sources blossom.

The result was keep. Speedy. This doesn't have a chance of closing delete, and to quote WP:DELPRO, speedy keep is permissible for "nominations which are so erroneous that they indicate that the nominator has not even read the article in question." The claim this fellow is living, plus the statement in the article at time of nomination that he was working in 1754, is evidence that this nomination probably meets that test. joe decker ^talk 16:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - the page seems unduly promotional and there seems to have been some WP:COI argument before. However there were some secondary sources found, and I've found a few academic papers which refer to it as a thing. Together, they're still quite weak, but I'm thinking there is value in having a page on this topic and there are probably just enough sources to satisfy the WP:GNG.

My name is Professor John Kleinig and I am not a Wikipedia Editor so apologies for any lack of protocol. The currently disputed article on Philosothon, falls clearly within the ambit of Philosophy for Children. First of all, I think that the Philosophy for Children article is far too brief as it stands, and the current reference to the Philosothon that it contains would be uninformative were the Philosothon article not also contained in Wikipedia. Second, I don't see any dispute about the Ethics Bowl entry in Wikipedia, which is something of a US parallel to the Philosothon, though it is not as extensive as the current Philosothon entry. Should the Ethics Bowl article be expanded or the Philosothon article be contracted? That may not be for me to judge, though one of the things I've always like about Wikipedia articles is their attempt at comprehensiveness. Third, and of real salience, although the Philosothon began as the vision of just a few people in a particular place, it has expanded considerably over a relatively short time, and there is some reason to acknowledge this in the more extensive format that it currently has. I can envisage a time when the expansion is such that the competition/program gets to the point at which some of the tables might be eliminated and replaced by reference to other web sites, though when that will be is probably for others to judge. Fourth, some concern has been expressed about conflict of interest and the suggestion that the article is largely promotional. Certainly there is some conflict of interest, though as the Wikipedia editors will be well aware, Community of inquiry as such does not entail bias. For the most part the article is objectively written, whether or not it might also be used for promotional purposes. Perhaps there is room for a more extensive airing and development of criticisms, though I notice that the Wikipedia Community of inquiry article, on which the Philosothon is based, does not itself gesture toward any criticisms of that model. So, apart from the contingent criticism implied by a CoI, one might wonder whether there may be other factors at work in seeking to have the site deleted. It is certainly no discredit to Wikipedia to have the current article, and it does contain a fair minded if longish account of a growing movement/competition/program.

John Kleinig Emeritus Professor, Department of Criminal Justice John Jay College of Criminal Justice— Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.105.85 (talk) 06:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing the lengthy contact material from this. Also, please assume good faith. This may not be what you meant by "one might wonder whether there may be other factors at work in seeking to have the site deleted", but this comes across like you're heavily implying that someone is seeking deletion because of selfish motives (like trying to get rid of a rival, personal grudges, etc) and not because the event fails Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Not only is this not a good way to argue for inclusion but this also puts a lot of editors on the defensive, which can weaken your arguments quite dramatically. There was good reason for people to question the COI of Sydney59 since evidence pointed quite heavily at him being the event's founder, yet he was not forthcoming with this information and he had to be directly asked several times before he confirmed that he was this man. To put it bluntly, there was good cause for concern over this given the way the article had been written and given that it wasn't entirely easy to find sources for this, I can see where people would think that this event was non-notable, so I don't think that there were any ulterior motives at play from anyone arguing for the article's deletion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:04, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Since the original nomination for deletion there has been additional secondary sources added to this article. These were ignored and hence my request for a deletion review. During the review other sources have been found by Tokyogirl79. So this issue of sufficient secondary sources has been dealt with. To the issue of whether this is an advertisement. The article claims that the Philosothon "aims at encouraging children to think more reasonably and make wiser decisions". This could be interpreted as an advertisement or the fact of the matter....which obviously could also be used as promotion. As other editors have pointed out this is not a sales pitch to sell a product or promote a band it is an educational initiative where the aim is to encourage children to think more reasonably and make wiser decisions. It sits within the Philosophy for Children movement. (There are similar claims made in the Wikipedia article written about P4C and the article about the Ethics Bowl which Professor Kleinig refers to above, which have not elicited the claim that either of these are 'advertisements'. This article was never written as an advertisement and this brings me to whether this article is sufficiently objective. The article was written by me and submitted to an academic journal where it was peer reviewed by several university academics and then edited. (See http://www.apaonline.org/resource/collection/808CBF9D-D8E6-44A7-AE13-41A70645A525/v12n1_Teaching.pdf (pge13) These editorial revisions were later included in edits of the Wikipedia article. Again the claim that there is a lack of objectivity is thereby refuted. If there are further editorial changes that need to be made of the Philosothon article then go for it. I am happy for anyone to improve this article but why delete it?Sydney59 (talk) 07:20, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Still no notability, still reads like and advertisement, and still looks to be pushing an agenda. As was observed in the last afd, Wikipedia is still not a means of promotion - and lets be honest here, given the template added to this afd promotion seems to be the only thing the keep party has an interest in. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:55, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In lew of the "not a vote" template on the page I took a look through the history of the Philosothon article. I've found a lot of ISP addresses that go back to Australia generally, but what caught my attention were the accounts Sydney59 (talk · contribs) and Matwills59 (talk · contribs), the latter of which appears to be a burner account devoted exclusively to this article and Matthew Wills, which Sydney59 recreated according to the deleted contributions log. Its not enough at the moment to prove sockpuppetry conclusively, however I wanted to post the results here so that everyone would be aware of the preliminary findings. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:40, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Woo there big fellow. Not sure what sock-puppetry is but assuming you mean I am using another persons UserName you are barking up the wrong tree....(very wrong) Given that the event started and has grown largely in Australia then it is not surprising that there is a lot of ISP addresses go back to Australia. That the article has been written by me and undergone many edits by me is not under dispute either. I took a quick look at the pages you have written and there is an impressive list of military pages and particularly pages related to the navy. No doubt this is because you have some background and interest in the area. Are you promoting the US navy, the US war machine... probably... but if the articles are well written I have no problem with that...but I would not dare to call for a deletion of one of your pages largely because I have no background in the area. Likewise, you do not have any background in education, nor in philosophy so please do not pretend to know the difference between promotion and a program which many schools use. By the way the so called "template" is a letter that Professor Kleinig asked to have placed on this review site. You can email him if you want to take issue with him or ask him if I am using him as a puppet. He is a Professor in Education and Philosophy at a renowned US University. I think his assessment of this article as 'objective' goes a little further than yours...respectfully. Sydney59 (talk) 10:03, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Using another user account is one form of sockpuppetry, that much is true. Another interpretation is that the accounts have a vested interest in protecting the article from outside...interference, shall we say. Now like I said, this is informal, and only carried out to get a better lay of the land. I want to make this very clear, right here and right now: You Are Not In Any Trouble. All the post above is meant to note is that there are two editors with similar editorial patterns that have a history on the pages. In point of fact I lack any evidence to purse this through official channels, though I have asked for a look under the hood to see whose behind the accounts my guess is that the two of you are not going to match up. Many users here who have a declared conflict of interest often bump into this problem at least once on an afd due to empirical editor evidence presence in contribution and deleted contribution logs. The above post doesn't officially become relevant to the present afd until the MatWills59(?) edits this afd, then the matter officially graduates from observation to concern for sanctioned action. If editors saw contributions from TomStar81 (talk · contribs) and TomStar810 (talk · contribs) then someone would make the same observation. And your right about my military history contributions, I do have a lot of them but I'm not working for government or the USN. Keep in mind that like Tokyogirl79 (talk · contribs) I'm an administrator here, so I'm expected to be suspicious of usernames and contribution histories here on the English Wikipedia when this sort of thing happens. Despite the fact that I have made what I feel to be a relevant observation, I am still obliged to assume good faith, so until the accounts are proven malevolent I can take no action against them. Think of this as a Philosothon; the question being asked is "Should you always listen to the opinions of others?" You're position from the above edits is yes, but others may have a different opinion. In the grander scheme of things, this is a Kobyashi Maru test: everyone solves the problem differently based on their given skill set and interpretation of the guidelines and policies here. TomStar81 (Talk) 10:50, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - per JMWt and WP:GNG. There are sources (many of which are within the article) that do cover this event, and I believe that it is just enough to meet WP:GNG... barely. And I do mean barely. I agree that the article has issues as far as neutrality and its content, but we as experienced editors need to remember something important: this is completely irrelevant. The article itself needs improvement; that does not mean that it should be deleted per the AFD criterion. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:39, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Google News reveal four independent sources providing secondary source coverage, and Google Scholar reveals an abundance of reliable scholarly sources providing direct coverage. There is no evidence I can find of financial or personal conflict of interest, and there is no shame in writing about something you know about and are interested in. Notions that Australian sources represent excessively local coverage are absurd. This competetion is 8 years old and has gone international. It is unclear to me why this article is being treated with the suspicion usually associated with new start corporations with authors who are trying to sell something. This is a scholarly subject related to education. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:17, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stifle please note that the COI issue has been dealt with during the review claim following the deletion of the article. The article was peer reviewed for a reputable journal and it was edited by university based academics that are specialists in Philosophy and Education. In terms of lack of notability it is not notable in the US but nor is Neighbours and AFL football both of which deserve a place in this encyclopaedia. Likewise this event is notable in an educational environment in Australasian and UK Schools, high school, middle schools and primary schools. Notability has also been established. So why delete?

Strong Delete - A non-notable school competition. Soap-box, advertising, biases, no notability above other typical competitions, depth of coverage lacking, potential conflict of interest, and multiple other issues as raised above. Ceosad (talk) 15:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are many other competitions on Wikipedia. See the American Mathematics Contest, International Physics Olympiad, United States Academic Decathlon and the Ethics_Bowl So why is this one less notable? Oh I forgot it is in the southern hemisphere. And it does not relate to Maths and Science....Therefore it is not notable. As SmokeyJoe (talk · contribs) and others have pointed out this is notable in Australasia and the UK ....(and there is more to Australasia than Neighbours and AFL Football.) Also how is this advertising? What is it selling? Education??? Tokyogirl79 (talk · contribs) & Appable (talk · contribs) both found enough secondary sources to indicate notability. So have you done your research Ceosad (talk · contribs)? JMWt (talk · contribs) also indicated that there was sufficient secondary sources to warrant the articles inclusion but pointed out the inherent difficulty in making such an article not sound like an advertisement. Oshwah (talk · contribs) pointed out that the article itself needs improvement but that does not mean that it should be deleted per the AFD criterion. All of these editors argued that there should be a space for this page on Wikipedia. Can editors posting to this discussion please read the earlier parts of this discussion before posting and can they please provide new arguments rather than the same unsubstantiated accusations. The issue of bias/promotion/notability/depth of coverage have been addressed by people including Professor in Education, John Kleinig who has published over 30 books in the fields of philosophy and education and he has argued that the Philosothon is notable and that this article is more objective than most Wikipedia articles written in the area.

- @Sydney59: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good argument to use here. TomStar81 (Talk) 02:55, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sydney59: Very well, I will concede that my accusation for lack of coverage might have been somewhat harsh considering that there are some fairly good references. I will also clarify that I meant that these competitions are not more notable than any other typical philosophy competitions in Australia. Other kinds of competitions or their existence on Wikipedia is not really relevant here. (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) We cannot list all competitions in Wikipedia: WP:INDISCRIMINATE. No competition is inherently notable, and even though this one has some reasonable references they do not prove that this topic merits an inclusion.

However, if I need to tell exactly what is wrong with the notability, I can do that: The whole topic of Philosothon is problematic as it is an umbrella term for a certain kind of a high school philosophy competition. Therefore, I will accuse this article for being guilty of coat-racking, as it makes it sound that there is some kind of a global organization that runs all these competitions. WP:COATRACK and WP:NEO. I have not seen any evidence that these Philosothons are more than a loose grassroots network of school co-operation. The Australasian Philosothon might be barely notable, but the rest of them can not be, unless there really is some kind of a global organization out there that organizes these events.

This article is a mix of indiscriminate competition results, and coat-racking of regional events to hide the fact that this whole focus of the article should be on the neologism. WP:NEO, WP:NAD, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:COATRACK. This is why I agree with Stifle that this is a neologism. Using Wikipedia to promote a product/concept/competition/whatever may sometimes be itself enough to justify deleting an article, and then rewriting it from scratch. Short version: There is no such competition in existence, the focus of the article is on a concept that is a neologism! There is no prestige in winning a prize at a Philosothon competition, so these are essentially minor events and thus not valid for inclusion at Wikipedia. Ceosad (talk) 03:07, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support Sydney59 in being allowed to contribute this stuff, and agree that there is an anti-philosophy bias at play, one that permeates all of Wikipedia. It is probably because philosophy is not very fact-filled. This criticism of notability and non-independent sources is not often applied to very specialised mathematics subtopics.

We cannot list all competitions, but we can list all competitions that others have written about.

The looseness of "Philosophon" as a topic title is a problem.

The article, and http://fapsa.org.au/philosothon/, begin "A Philosothon is an event that ...". Sounds like a neologism. Wikipedia is very resistant of promotion of neologisms. There is no entry at Wikt:Philosothon, and that is a big problem. I agree with Ceosad that articles on specific past-tense Philosothon competitions would be more palatable. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceosad: Again please do your research. This is not "coat-hanging of regional events". The event is organized and coordinated by FAPSA (Federation of Australasian Philosophy in Schools Associations (http://fapsa.org.au/) and SAPARE (Society for the Advancement of Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education)in the UK. This is stated clearly in the article. Please read the article before condemning it.Sydney59 (talk) 04:13, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sydney59: Yes, but FAPSA organizes only the Australasian competitions, right? As I have stated, the Australasian Philosothon competitions are a somewhat different case (as they are handled by more established organization and they seem to work independently from other related organizations like SAPERE, to be precise). SAPERE is a very recent organization to start advocating Philosothon method. Countries including Israel, the Netherlands, Norway and Finland are mentioned in the article, but I cannot find more on them. I read a few Finnish language sources, but they were just passing mentions. The Finnish seminar in 2014 seems to have been by Doctor of Philosophy Eero Salmenkivi. I am criticizing the forceful inclusion of winners and small scale competitions or events outside Australia and Asia. No competitions have ever been held in Finland for instance, or at least there is no trace left on the internet. This article needs a serious rewriting to be either about the Australasian competitions, or in-depth about the method itself. If neither can be achieved, this is essentially going to stay as a coat-rack. I would be open to the solution of renaming this article to either Australasian Philosothon competitions or Philosothon method. With adequate rewriting I can imagine myself agreeing with keeping this article. The method can be notable, even if the competitions are not. I have not yet done enough research on the method itself to assess whether or not the method itself can be considered notable. We should at least try to decide what the exact primary topic of the article is or should be, and as SmokeyJoe stated too, the looseness of the current topic title is problematic. Ceosad (talk) 05:09, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceosad: Better research but still not correct...The article indicates that each region/state has their own Philosothon coordinating body, the Victorian Association for Philosophy in Schools (http://vaps.vic.edu.au/)(VAPS) co-ordinates the Victorian Philosothon, the Western Australian Philosothon is hosted by the WA Association for Philosophy in Schools (APIS). (http://waapis.com/about) NSW Philosothon is coordinated by the Philosophy in Schools Association of NSW (http://www.philosophyinschoolsnsw.org/)and so on for each state or region. None of these organizations have a Wikipedia Page (Nor does FAPSA or SAPERE) and they should. In fact I would have edited a page for each of these but for the experience I have had with this page which has discouraged me. Also the methodology is not called "Philosothon". The methodology is Community of Inquiry so to rewrite the page in terms of writing about a Philosothon methodology is not possible. The history must include the UK Philosothon (http://philosothon.co.uk/about-us/) and therefore cannot be just about Australasian Philosothon competitions. The article should be and is about a competition called a Philosothon which includes its history and methodology. Sydney59 (talk) 05:58, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sydney59: I guess I have nothing more meaningful to add to this discussion at this point. I kind of tried to argue that there is no global organization that watches the local organizers, but I am starting to feel confused about all this. However, all those different organizations make these competitions sound decentralized, disconnected and isolated from each other, which would help prove some of my points. Anyway, my sources called the Philosothon a methodology by itself without referring to the Community of Inquiry (including the Finnish language sources). I will now let other people join the discussion rather than hijacking this AfD page for myself. Ceosad (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Almost all of the content in this article is a misunderstanding of the scope of Wikipedia. Content in Wikipedia needs to be a summary of what has been published on a topic, and in the case of events like this one, the sources cited cannot be published by organizations with a financial relationship to the event. If this article is kept, 90% of the content in it will need to be deleted for sure. Among the content which has citations, a lot of it is self published. I fail to recognize enough sources to pass WP:GNG. Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are low and it is not apparent to me that this topic meets them. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:52, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry:I quote from you above:

"the sources cited cannot be published by organizations with a financial relationship to the event."

You completely fail to understand the nature of the event (which suggests that the article does need to be rewritten)....The event is cost free and the organizations hosting and running these events do not usually charge schools an entrance fee. The various associations (VAPS,WA APIS, FAPSA, and SAPERE etc.) are all not for profit volunteer professional associations. The schools and universities that host the events underwrite the costs themselves and therefore their is no financial profit in hosting or running these events. The publicity if a school wins the event is a benefit but it is not a financial benefit. In any case the school based cited sources (and there are many hundreds of them not cited with this article) have NO financial relationship to the event. They merely participate in the event. This being the case most of the cited sources are secondary sources: ABC radio national programs, Newspaper articles, academic journal articles, doctoral thesis' etc. etc. (these are not self published) these are all secondary sources. Again there is "no" financial relationship and they are written and edited by independent publishers or radio broadcasters without any financial transactions. Other editors such as Tokyogirl79 (talk · contribs), Appable (talk · contribs) & JMWt (talk · contribs) have recognized this. Given this....while the article does need to be reworked it should not be deleted.Sydney59 (talk) 05:13, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney59 I recognize everything you say and I agree with you on all points except your conclusion - I still say delete. I fear that you wish for Wikipedia to be a place for original publishing when instead Wikipedia is a place to summarize what has already been published. Deletion review is not complicated and there is almost never ambiguity. I hear your arguments but you are giving information that has nothing to do with the criteria for judging for deletion. Please - directly and briefly - provide the best 2-3 published sources about this event and which feature this event as the subject of the publication. Nothing else matters.

I now say keep because these meet WP:RS and establish WP:GNG. Still - parts of the current iteration of this article which are not backed by citations can be deleted. I think everyone is in agreement that revision is needed. However, what is cited should remain, and the article should not be deleted. A good next step would be deleting everything without a citation. Anyone who wants to restore deleted text can do so when they match the deleted text with a source which verifies the removed statement. Keep the article! Blue Rasberry (talk) 03:45, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: Yes, this article does need improvement. It doesn't meet Wikipedia's guidelines in some respects. But I think we should look at "does it add value to Wikipedia", since the original intent of the notability and COI and promotional policies were to prevent Wikipedia from becoming a personal soapbox, advertising platform, or a collection of unverified material. With the number of sources it has, it does meet WP:GNG: it has some substantial coverage (not a lot, but I think enough for inclusion), and while it's promotional as is, I think it'd require, as Sydney stated above, a rework, not a rewrite. But the subject of the article is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, and I feel this article does add to Wikipedia (just a little bit, just like all the five million articles on their own: small as a whole but as a sum a huge collection of human knowledge and ideas). And since the promotional content could be cleaned up rather than requiring a true rewrite, it's certainly worth saving the article. Most likely, the cleanup would involve a lot of content deletion - but there's certainly some sources that would make this a still-notable article, though perhaps more of a stub- or start-class article (and I don't feel like that's a bad thing - that's how many articles start).

  The article notes:
  Hale School started the Philosothon back in 2007 and since then it has grown prolifically throughout Australia and overseas. Australasian Philosothons have been conducted annually since 2011. The first UK Philosothon was held this year at King’s College in Taunton.
  More than 100 students from 13 schools in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia participated in the event. Each participating school had been placed in the top three schools in their respective state Philosothons. Internationally renowned guest speakers participated in the event including Professor John Kleinig (John Jay College of Criminal Justice New York) who addressed the topic ‘Drones, Distance, and Death’ and Professor Tziporah Kasachkoff (Ben Gurion University) who spoke on the topic ‘Socrates exhorts us to follow the argument where it leads. Should we?’ Assoc. Professor Phil Cam from the University of NSW, who is Chair of the Federation of Australasian Philosophy in Schools Associations, was also a guest speaker and judge at the event.

  The article notes:
  The Philosothon is an inter-schools competition based on philosophical dialogue, with emphasis on individual debate. Students are given topic questions and stimulus reading materials in advance to enable them to prepare, and each candidate is marked by an academic philosopher on their contribution, including how they help analyse, evaluate, refine and conclude arguments.
  This year’s tasks, created by Julie Arliss of Academy Conferences, who spearheaded the Philosothon movement in the UK, included ‘What is art?’, ‘Is the purpose of life to be happy?’, ‘What is the point in education?’ and ‘What makes you, you?’
  ...
  Philosothon tasks are designed to help students start pulling together the threads between subject areas to see how each area of knowledge influences one to the other. Students have to bring all their understanding as well as their social skills to the table to make progress together.

  The article notes:
  Our fourth and final article, by Matthew Wills, is entitled “Fostering the Exploration of Philosophical and Ethical Questions among School Students in Australasia.” Wills reports on the establishment of “Philosothons,” first at Hale School in Western Australia (where Wills himself teaches), then in other secondary Australian schools, and finally as national events. He explains the nature of a “Philosothon,” provides the list of specific philosophical topics that served as the focusof the first Philosothon that was held, and presents us with the list of criteria used for assessing student participation in Philosothons. Finally, he considers, and answers, an objection to the concept of learning philosophy (and assessing the learning of philosophy) in the way described, and provides links for readers who wish to know more about Philosothons in general, and/or the notion of “Communities of Inquiry” on which Philosothons are based.
  Wills' article begins on page 13.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Philosothon to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Hello, these series of letters between Miguel Miramón, general and president of Mexico in 1859, and Concepción Lombardo, Miguel Miramón's wife, are an important series of documents that portray how life was for these two important characters of Mexican history in the XIX century. Additionally, they show how and why Miguel Miramón made certain military and political decisions, as well as his last words to his wife before his death in 1867. These points of view are very important for Mexican history and are only seen in this document so it should be considered relevant in the English Wikipedia. --Psanchez820 (talk) 09:23, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Kirsch[edit]

Refs in article do not appear to support a viable notability claim. The first two are links to places which only mention the subject but provide no depth of coverage, the third is a discography listing from Allmusic.com (again, no depth), the fourth and fifth come from the subject's own website (lack of independence), and the sixth is a press release (which defines lack of independence). Article needs multiple references in independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in depth in order to justify retaining it. There appears to be some evidence that the subject's work is notable, but this does not make the subject himself notable. That the article was originally created by a WP:SPA (of User:Mufcseo123) over the course of two days back in 2013 strongly suggests that the article was the result of some undisclosed paid editing. The article creator was clearly a skilled editor, but just as clearly was not using his main account to write this article, which while not technically a violation of policy in most respects... (fill in the blank there). I will be very surprised if he rears his head in this discussion. The trio of "I'm me" external links (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) combined with the inadequacy of the references provided (several of which have failed verification) would seem to consolidate this fact.

Fritz Pflaum Hut[edit]

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

Article fails to establish notability of the subject. I tagged this for a lack of notability in May 2012[12] and nothing was done to establish notability. There are now three references in the article but these do not establish notability. The main reference is a guidebook describing "over 100 walks and multi-day treks" in Austria. The other two provide "hotel guide" type entries to various huts, only a small handful of which seem independently notable. None of the sources provide the "significant" coverage required by WP:GNG. A search for other sources that might go to establishing notability comes up with sites that are generally blogs, other self-published sources, and travel guides. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:17, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose i.e. Keep. The Fritz Pflaum Hut is an important base for mountaineering and hiking in the Kaiser Mountains. Whilst the article is a work in progress and should be further expanded, its basic notability has been established by the internationally recognised Alpine Clubs of Germany and Austria (not "hotel guides" as mis-stated above) as well as a hikers and climbers guide to the Austrian Alps (not a "travel guide" although inclusion in a guide is surely an indicator of notability). As the creator of several thousand Wikipedia articles, my sense is that the nom is demanding a higher level of notability than Wikipedia normally requires for this type of article. Regrettably, he has also refused to engage in discussion on the article talk page, has not given opportunity for a third opinion and, having twice reverted my edits to remove the notability hatnote after adding references, has jumped straight to a deletion request to avoid the "three reverts" rule. If this deletion request is accepted, all Alpine hut articles in Europe will no doubt follow as most of them have already been notability tagged by the nom. --Bermicourt (talk) 12:05, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A claim to notability has to be established, and that hasn't happened. Whether the sources are "hotel guides" or a "hikers and climbers guide", they're still "guides" that list other huts equally. Note that I didn't say they were hotel guides, I said "hotel guide" type, which is still the case. Claiming that I haven't engaged in discussion on the talk page is a misrepresentation. I opened a discussion on your talk page to discuss the process we use for establishing notability,[13] not only for this article, but for all articles, which you don't seem to accept. And yes, this AfD is likely to affect all of the other hut articles that fail to establish notability. Unfortunately, there are many of them.

"inclusion in a guide is surely an indicator of notability" - No it isn't. Otherwise every hotel, motel and person with a telephone would be notable. Notability is not inherited. The guide might be notable, but that doesn't mean the individual entries are notable. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's your view and others differ, hence the number of articles. What we really need to do is work together to improve, expand and reference them. Bermicourt (talk) 13:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a view that has been upheld at numerous AfDs. I suggest you read WP:NOTINHERITED. As you are well aware, you've previously discussed the notability requirements on my talk page, over two years ago,[14] and yet there has been no attempt to address the problems, other than to remove the notability tags. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:50, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful not to mislead. You've avoided discussion on the talk page which is where issues are meant to be resolved. And "no attempt to address the problems" is slightly undermined by the fact that references have, in fact, been added and there is a willingness to add more. --Bermicourt (talk) 14:18, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I've already explained above, I opened a discussion on your talk page because the problems exist at multiple pages where you keep removing ((notability)) tags despite pages not establishing notability.

"is slightly undermined by the fact that references have, in fact, been added" - Yes, three years after the tags were added and two years after you asked how to resolve the problems. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. In addition to the reasons cited above by Bermicourt, the article's notability is supported by WP:GEOFEAT. Bede735 (talk) 13:48, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GEOFEAT does not say that all buildings are notable. It says that buildings can be notable, but that they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. This is the basic problem with this article and Bermicourt's reasons do not address the lack of sources. GEOFEAT, in fact, supports the arguments that I have provided on his talk page and here. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:23, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Austria-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:50, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I do think AussieLegend does us a service by raising questions about notability about articles relating to the Alps which are potentially of questionable significance. It makes us think about what we are doing. As a newcomer to joining the Mountains of the Alps project, I have been surprised - almost shocked - by how brief many of the articles are, yet there are so many stubs that are very clearly notable, and probably a few longer ones - like this one - that are somewhat less certain. Sadly many have remained that way for quite some time, but the European Alps is a big place with a lot of notable features within it, and few Wikipedians signed up to help out. Work does not need to be done to create new stubs, but enhance existing articles, and I note the talk page discussion on that very point was agreed to by Bermicourt in 2013 on AussieLegend talk page, but was rather curtly responded to.

I don't believe that a quick look around Google should be the basis of asserting lack of notability, but I applaud AussieLegend for raising the concerns. I would offer the following observations:

There are at least six printed and commercially available guidebooks to the Wilder Kaiser/Kaisergebirge mountain range. (See bottom of this page). I don't have access to these, but I would hope that AussieLegend does, and that's why he thinks he is correct in suggesting this article relates to some non-notable mountain hotel, of which there are many in the area, and none have articles on them. If he hasn't checked the literature, but only looked at Google, he cannot assert the hut is not notable. I think it is. From my experience of other parts of the Alps, the climbing guides we use are not available online, but the high mountain bases described within them clearly form a key and notable element to all current mountaineering and historic mountain exploration within those ranges, and I would tend to view most of them as notable within the context of our project, including this particular high level refuge.
The Fritz Pflaum refuge is clearly not one of the many low altitude tourist hotels in the range, as has been implied. The Austrian online map portal shows it is remote and, indeed, the highest mountain refuge in its range, and therefore would have been inextricably linked with mountaineering achievements of exploration of notable summits in that range.
I don't accept that WP:GEOFEAT support's AussieLegend's view at all, but neither does it provide clear justification for every alpine restaurant marked on the map from the valley to the summit to be notable. I think it gives us a guide, and it steers me towards notability, especially when all the other points I am raising here are taken into account.
There are numerous adjacent mountaineering/rock climbing routes published from the Fritz Pflaum Hut.
That the Fritz Pflaum hut is a high, remote mountain refuge in a prominent and significant position within a cultural feature - a nationally designated and IUCN recognised nature reserve.
Alternatively, by taking the reverse view, one could argue that the Fritz Pflaum hut and others like it could be regarded as part of the local mountain community. I don't like this approach myself, but if it were taken, I would be obliged to quote from WP:LOCAL that:Editors will generally not object to articles about places of local interest that are sufficiently long (not a stub), contain appropriate information (e.g. several of the ideas for information to include above), and are reasonably well-referenced.

The Fritz Pflaum moutain hut is a recognised and properly mapped feature which, whilst not being sufficient justification in itself for meeting WP:GEOFEAT, gives it verifiability, and the fact that it is the highest and most remote mountain refuge which has stood for 103 years within a notable mountain range leads me towards accepting notability.
The mountain refuge has a corresponding page on German wikipedia, which has not received a proposal for deletion.
There are some 40Mb of online documentation regarding the 100 year history of the Fritz Pflaum Refuge, including an account of Pflaum's Jewish background, how the hut had its name changed during the Anschluss, and on Pflaum's climbing achievements and his subsequent death when he fell through a crevassse on an ascent of the Monch and died of his injuries a few days later. It would be good to see some of this content incorporated into the article under consideration for deletion.
Accepting this proposal for deletion because it has taken some time for further enhancements to be made does, in AussieLegend's expressed view, give him or others a rationale for taking the same approach on similar high mountain refuges articles. I find this to be of concern, and not a position I would wish to accept.
I would normally wish to chastise anyone (who I sometimes light-heartedly refer to as a 'Wikipedia Nazi') if they rush to propose deletion of an article or suite of articles, especially if they have little knowledge of the subject area and no access to the relevant literature (and not just to Google), and especially if they've not given the article editors time to enhance it, or raised concern on a talk page. I don't think the former has been done at all here, but the latter most certainly was - on Bermicourt's talk page, anyway, although not the article's. That said, the proposer should refer to WP:NOEFFORT which does not provide any justification for deletion just because some time has gone by and they have now become frustrated. Recent changes have clearly now been made, and I hope the links I've included here may assist others in adding a few more.

All the above points now having been said, my clear conclusion, as I stated at the outset, is to Oppose. Parkywiki (talk) 12:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't accept that WP:GEOFEAT support's AussieLegend's view at all - My view is that WP:GNG requires significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. Bermicourt seems to disagree, believe almost that a single source is all that is required. this is not significant coverage. WP:GEOFEAT specifically says They require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability, which clearly does support my view, since my view is that of WP:GNG.
I note the talk page discussion on that very point was agreed to by Bermicourt in 2013 on AussieLegend talk page, but was rather curtly responded to. - It only appears to be a curt response because Bermicourt failed to discuss further or request further guidance. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:51, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you are misrepresenting my position. I have never said that a single source is sufficient for notability (although WP:GNG implies that it may be in some situations). And your explanation of your response is not logical: your response wouldn't have become less curt if I'd responded to it. Actually I gave up because I could see you were not prepared to discuss these articles open-mindedly or work towards a consensus. As this latest episode has proven. Bermicourt (talk) 14:02, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed you haven's said that a single source is all that is needed. You don't seem to believe references are necessary at all, given the number of unreferenced article from which you have removed the notability tag.[15][16][17][18][19] I have always been willing to discuss these articles but when I have responded, you disappear. You don't need me to help you improve the articles. You seem quite content to create the articles, but not to reference them or even convert their infoboxes from German, which I had to do for you. I shouldn't have to chase you to get a response. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:25, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some other issues:

There are at least six printed and commercially available guidebooks - Generally, guidebooks do not go towards establishing notability unless they provide the "signifcant" coverage required by WP:GNG, or WP:GEOFEAT
the high mountain bases described within them clearly form a key and notable element to all current mountaineering and historic mountain exploration within those ranges - Notability is not inherited. The history of exploration might be notable, but that doesn't mean the hut is notable. Notability has to be established separately.
the fact that it is the highest and most remote mountain refuge which has stood for 103 years within a notable mountain range - Again, notability is not inherited and age does not demonstrate notability. I have a fossil in front of me that is 290 million years old. It's not notable either.
the Fritz Pflaum hut is a high, remote mountain refuge in a prominent and significant position within a cultural feature - The cultural feature might be notable but, again, notability is not inherited.
The mountain refuge has a corresponding page on German wikipedia, which has not received a proposal for deletion - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
the 100 year history of the Fritz Pflaum Refuge, including an account of Pflaum's Jewish background - I note that there is no article for Fritz Pflaum here or at the German Wikipedia. That would seem to indicate a lack of notability.

I appreciate your arguments but the article still does not seem notable. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:36, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OPPOSE and STRONG KEEP Clearly a notable and noted structure and an important waypoint for climbers. Given its high perch and relative inaccessibility, the amount of coverage is telling. Moreover, there was no compliance with WP:Before. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:53, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your assertion that there was no WP:Before is completely incorrect. I have been watching this and similar articles since 2012, when I first created ((Infobox hut)) and have been trying to get notability established since then. However, attempts to notify editors of the requirement to establish notability by tagging the articles with ((notability)) has been thwarted by User:Bermicourt who persistently removes notability tags, apparently for no other reason than he doesn't understand WP:GNG.[20][21][22][23] Over the past 3 1/2 years I have attempted to establish notability myself, but establishing notability of a hut in Germany or Austria from Australia has proven almost impossible. As stated in the nomination, a search for other sources that might go to establishing notability comes up with sites that are generally blogs, other self-published sources, and travel guides. The travel guides include online and offline sources. --AussieLegend (✉) 1:25 am, Today (UTC+11)

Given the nature of the subject matter, what is wrong with travel guides as a WP:RS. You think maybe this should be written up in a scholarly journal? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, of course it doesn't need to be in a scholarly journal. That's a silly suggestion. Per WP:GNG and WP:GEOFEAT the subject must receive "significant" coverage in sources independent of the subject. That means more than a casual mention. A travel guide dealing specifically with the hut would qualify as a reliable source. A travel guide dealing with 100 other huts would not. The travel guides that I've seen fall into the latter category. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:46, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (I have never seen people use "oppose" before, usually the votes are either "keep" or "delete"). I've had a look over the article's sources, and while they seem to verify that this hut exists, they do not convince me that it is in fact notable by Wikipedia's standards. I am especially surprised that a claim of notability is being made for the hut before an article has even been written for the person for whom it is purportedly named (which seems backwards at best). If this structure were notable, it would be discussed (not merely mentioned) in multiple reliable sources (in any language)— arguments about it being the "highest" such hut, etc., aside, this does not seem to be the case. 07:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

~~Keep~~. Further references have been added and the article's notability is now established by 5 books, the Alpine Journal and the official websites of the German and Austrian Alpine Clubs. Almost every sentence is now referenced. We could add still more, but that begins to look like overkill. I hope that helps. Bermicourt (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Attention. In view of the recent major improvement to this articles' references, it would be make sense if the editor(s) who have voted "delete" could confirm their vote or update it to "keep" if they see fit. Bermicourt (talk) 19:04, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ I gave ten or more detailed and reasoned bullet points (with sources) which, taken collectively, supports this article as being notable and relevant to the Mountains of the Alps in a previous discussion just a couple of weeks ago. I was then surprised to find the discussion about it spilling over onto my own Talk Page. I offered both opposing viewpoints a reasonable way forward. I see little evidence that AussieLegend has looked at relevant mountain guidebooks from the area, and find this discussion both disruptive and unhelpful to efforts by the Alps Task force to enhance article quality.Parkywiki (talk) 01:43, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have indeed looked at some guidebooks, most recently as Monday. I still find notability lacking because of the depth of coverage provided to the hut. Please also note that, as I had to remind Bermicourt, you can only vote once. --AussieLegend (✉) 01:48, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of significant coverage and failure to state a claim of notability. Individual buildings are not inherently notable simply because they are verifiable. WP:GEOFEAT Parkywiki said: I don't believe that a quick look around Google should be the basis of asserting lack of notability. That is precisely why so many Wikipedia editors spend a great deal of time checking sources and providing accessible citations before producing even a stub article. It is very difficult to prove a negative (such as lack of notability); it is far easier to prove notability by providing citations to multiple independent, reliable sources that provide substantial coverage of a topic. While the text is likely accurate in this regard, self-published works like Kühntopf's Juden, Juden, Juden are not generally considered to be reliable sources. The reliable sources mentioned, like guidebooks (which generally are highly reliable about realia, less so about history and folklore), do not have substantial coverage. In fact it is hard to imagine substantial coverage about most alpine huts, and they are probably better dealt with in articles about specific mountains, or ranges. A few alpine huts may have achieved historical importance. There is no evidence that this is one. Maybe your team of alpinist editors should rethink having a bunch of quasi-notable stubs about huts, and instead include the relevant information in comprehensive mountain and range articles. --Bejnar (talk) 03:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment These are no ordinary individual buildings. In each case they are the only one for miles around and are used by hundreds of climbers and hikers in order to access remote parts of the Alps. Perhaps the fact they are referred to as "huts" is a problem? After all a hut in English is normally nothing more than a shack. But in this case it's a translation of the German word Hütte which, here, is invariable a substantial stone building, marked on topographic maps, signed on the ground and listed in numerous publications. I could add dozens more references but that would be overkill even by English Wiki standards. And BTW these are hardly stubs. Many are full articles and there is every chance of expanding the others. Bermicourt (talk) 22:47, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - That they are remote and/or used by a lot of people does not go to demonstrating notability. Nor does being listed in numerous publications. As I've alluded to elsewhere, hotels and motels visited by thousands of people every month are listed in multiple publications but that doesn't mean that they are notable. The word "hut" is not an issue here. Anything can be notable but that notability has to be demonstrated and that requires significant coverage in reliable sources. I haven't seen that coverage.

"I could add dozens more references" - You've been saying that for two years but so far, you've added only a handful. This article has only 3 references and they were only added in the past two weeks.

"but that would be overkill even by English Wiki standards" - At the moment the articles are suffering dramatic "underkill". If you've got these references, they need to be added to establish notability. Making claims without evidence does not help any of these articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:30, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Interesting topic, 100-year-old building built by community fund-sourcing, known to climbers who would come from long distances. Sourcing found. Fits well within the type of article that Wikipedia can produce that most encyclopedias would not have the resources to produce, which is probably the real reason for the continued debate after the initial objections were satisfied. One Section in the article is without sourcing so should either be sourced or removed as per WP:V. I note in passing that the AfD nomination skipped the parts of WP:BEFORE which consider links from other articles and versions of the topic on other language Wikipedias, and there is no discussion of any problems with the article on the talk page. Unscintillating (talk) 01:04, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- "there is no discussion of any problems with the article on the talk page" - I note that your comments skip the parts of this discussion where I have mentioned that I have been discussing the notability requirements with Bermicourt for more than 2 years. As for your comments regarding WP:BEFORE, if you actually bother to look at the links in articles, as I did before I nominated, most of them don't actually deal with the hut itself, they are generally just guidebook style mentions. Clearly, the verifiability requirements on the other Wikipedias are not to the standard that we require here. Fritz-Pflaum-Hütte for example, contains no inline references, only 3 external links. It's existence therefore cannot be used to assert notability here. To claim that it does is pretty much the first example at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:12, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've bundled multiple points in the reply, but I'd like to follow up to the part where you mention that you've had previous discussions with Bermicourt about notability. He states on your most recent archive page, User_talk:AussieLegend/Archive_24, "I think you may be setting a bar for notability that is a little higher than Wikipedia demands..." I can confirm this to be the case and can document at least partly why. You've been using a dictionary definition for "significant", when this is a technical term defined by WP:GNG, that being, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention..."

whilst Wikipedia seems to be comfortable with it's issue with Systemic Bias, ( I note the person most offended by the 'Chos3n'post is in dallas so therefore in probability has little knowledge of the UK Music Scene) - I am not comfortable with it's systemic Bias - could I therefore ask that the editor(s) who have any decision making on the page proposed deletion have some relative knowledge in the music industry outside of the U.S. or other interest in Urban music .

Comment - Thanks for AGF... complete compliance with BEFORE, as noted in the nomination - very little about her on the search engines. Only claim to fame is the unverified self-claimant of her relationship to Bogart. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – @Carptrash: I removed the main namespace categories from this discussion page that you posted, because they are for articles, but are not appropriate for Wikipedia namespace in the manner they were posted. To post categories here, they need to be formatted as [[:Category:Foo]], with a colon before the word "Category", so this discussion is not listed on the respective category pages for articles.

Comment I agree that WP:Before has clearly been followed. Disagreeing an whether something is notable does not mean that the procedure has not been followed. No independent, reliable sources have been found to show notability, or even to confirm the claim that she was Bogart's mistress. And Carptrash, there's a big difference between Royalty and "Hollywood" Royalty. You need to show that Thompson is notable in her own right, rather than simply as someone's mistress. Bogart is notable, his hairdresser and possible mistress appears not to be. Meters (talk) 19:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

North America Thank you for posting the multiple sources. Does this mean "Keep" or "Delete"? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I apologize if you think there was a breach of WP:AGF. I am happy to credit that you may have tried to comply with WP:Before; but you did it poorly. You too could have clicked on "High Beam" and found the sources that are now in the article, and put them there. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A few more obituaries calling her the "reputed" mistress of Bogart doesn't help. We already have several. They don't show notability, and I doubt they are independent of the subject's autobiography. Meters (talk) 20:24, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If I am reading you right, you say she wrote her own obituary!? That would be notable in and of itself! In any event, the sources posted by North America spike your concern. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:28, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote that the obits are likely not independent of her autobiography. The distinction is clear. All the ones I looked at appeared to use the autobiography as a source. Meters (talk) 21:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's not much in the new list of possible refs. Two of them are blogs, the Washington post ref is merely a passing reference in a society page article, and the rest seem to be discussing a new book that mentions Bogart and Thompson, but apparently tiptoes around the issue. The NY Post says "Verita Thompson claims she had a longtime affair" with Bogart, and The Daily Mail makes it even clearer with "He [the book's author]repeats, cautiously, the ‘unverified account’ of the star’s hairdresser, Verita Thompson, who claimed to have had a 13-year affair with" Bogart. Hardly convincing, and again, clearly not WP:INDEPENDENT of the WP:SELFPUBLISHed autobiography. I'm not going to bother translating the 2 foreign sources. Meters (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - per reasoning of Carptrash, a quick look at the various mistress categories already on wikipedia will reveal that in fact being the mistress of royalty, band Bogart was Hollywood royalty is notable enough for wikipedia. I have come across various obituaries on her that talk of this Bogart relationship and I can't believe that all these journalists got together in a conspiracy to make up the story. My experience in writing many DYK biographies sees this article as being capable of being developed into an "interesting" biography that many would like to read about.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Thanks Northamerica1000 for the formatting fix, and for the links to the custom searches. After reviewing, there's really nothing there to show this woman passes WP:GNG. On the news search there are 6 very brief mentions of this woman, along with 2 blog entries. The Newspapers one is a bit more, as it has two nice reviews of her book, Bogie and Me, but those don't equate into her even passing WP:NAUTHOR, and the other 4 are again merely passing mentions. A search for her book, also turns up a dearth of in-depth coverage. The best of the results was a mention in Stefan Kanfer's bio of Bogart, Tough Without a Gun, one of the better bios of the star (neither of which has their own article, btw), in which this individual is described as a "tireless self-promoter". If anything, these additional searches only served to confirm the results of my earlier searches. BTW, WP:OSE is not a valid argument in this instance, and the only other keep vote doesn't offer any additional sources. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Completely non-notable. Mistresses of senior royal figures are notable because said figures were politically important and their affairs were therefore significant within the history of their countries. Actors and their affairs are not, whether you want to call them Hollywood royalty or not. Just gossip column fodder. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:04, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When someone runs across Verita Bouvaire-Thompson in the gossip column and wonders who she was, I want wikipedia to have the answer. Also to claim, as you seem to do, that all mistresses were " politically important and their affairs were therefore significant" seems a bit of a stretch. Carptrash (talk) 00:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't claim that. But many are notable in that context, which is why we have articles on them. If they're not then no articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For example, Casablanca (film) seems to have a longer article than the Battle of Hastings, which says something about the importance of the gossip column of the annals of history, at least on wikipedia. Carptrash (talk) 00:57, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how that's in any way relevant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was an unsuccessful attempt to show that these days pop culture (70,000 hits) is more significant (measured by size of the article and number of hits) than history (60.000 hits). People want to know about this stuff Carptrash (talk) 16:27, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's clear from the citations she passes GNG. It doesn't matter whether any of us think a Hollywood mistress should be notable, the fact is, she was newsworthy and therefore notable. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @The Avengers:, what is your argument for deletion? You haven't written anything.

- I should mention that also had I tried to search for that paper, but couldn't find it. Sadly the journal's website only verifies the existence of the paper [26], there's no content. It's somewhat intriguing that they list the title as u prepjevu Franatice Sorkočevića, which is locative, and sounds like the proper name of the topic would be Franatica Sorkočević instead. And then I did a Google Books search for that name and 1701, and voila, [27] - it looks like the name used in our article could be a mistake, which is why it was so unverifiable. *facepalm* Now, that still doesn't obviate the need to investigate whether this new name is actually notable. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:44, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the initial closure was incorrect or at least gave impressions of unfairness, but reopening without consulting the closing admin at first also isn't best practice.

Delete per nom. Even as incomplete references lacking the title and publication date of the source content, it's still evident that six of the eight "sources" are to local community weekly newspapers which are not widely distributed (or widely archived) enough to satisfy WP:GNG, while the other two are to her own books and thus get clobbered as primary sources. While the overall tone isn't as blatantly advertorial as I would have expected in something like this, it still pretty obviously tilts in a PR/advertorial direction — there's just too damn much entirely unsourced "personal life" detail of the type that, given the paucity of actual WP:RS coverage, could only be collated by knowing, or at least directly interviewing, the subject personally. Strictly speaking, the fact that there aren't convenience URLs present in the references isn't relevant, because we are allowed to cite stuff to print-only content like old newspaper articles or books, but the fact that they're local community weekly newspapers (as well as incomplete references that are still missing necessary details) does weaken them.

Oppose, should this not be tagged with a merge request rather than deletion tag? I'm not an expert on the procedure. Anyway, this article satisfies the notability requirement by number of sources available. I do not think it should be merged to the hedge article, because it will give undue weight about this type of hedge (same goes for Cornwall hedge too). Hedges exist wordwide and we have two section dedicated to Cornwall and Devon. The problem here lies not with this article, but at hedge. Jolly Ω Janner 10:09, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've added three more book references, which alone would meet the GNG, if the refs already in the article weren't enough on their own. Devon hedges are distinctive, and I've added a cited quote to that effect. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep. The proposer's reason for wanting this deleted was apparently that the then current article contained no more than the section in the parent article. However, it's well established that the present state of an article is no indicator of whether it should exist or not – the real criterion is whether the topic is sufficiently notable, and nominators are supposed to do some research to check this before raising an AfD. Notability was surely satisfied by the time I'd added another source and removed the prod, but Chiswick Chap then gilded the lily (thanks!), and I've gone on to rhodium plate it by adding another.
I think that Jolly Janner's point about the problem lying with an undue emphasis in Hedge is a good one, though I haven't researched how many other named hedge types there are. We do need to ensure that this article talks about the specific Devon hedge type and not just ordinary hedges in Devon ("Devon's hedges"), of which there are also many kilometres. —SMALL JIM 00:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this has adequate references and the term and its use are well known.

Kurdish mythology[edit]

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

The entire content of the article is Original Research and just refers to Iranian mythology (see Zahhak, Kāve). The only source used in the article is a book by a journalist, the book is unscholarly, no sources are cited in the book. There is already the Origin of the Kurds and the Kurdish nationalism article, which is more appropriate, or the artcile could be moved to "Kurdish national myth". This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. Lrednuas Senoroc (talk) 22:29, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - historic origin and mythology are not the same thing - Kurdish mythology refers to things like Shahmaran. The Kurds are an ancient people, distinct from the Iranians despite many links, and I don't see why their mythology is any less notable than that of other cultures. Sources exist.[32][33][34] —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:46, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- There is nothing about Shahmaran in the article and Shahmaran is not specifically Kurdish, the folklore is found in many Middle Eastern cultures. Every human being is an "ancient people", but the earliest attested usage of Kurds meaning a concrete ethnic group is only from the medieval period. The Kurds enter the historical record at the end of the medieval period, during the Safavid era. It is not about whether their mythology is any less notable, but about the current content and status of the article, which don't justify to keep the article, also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Buddhist mythology is up for deletion. Also those sources you link are either fringe nationalist sources or about current affairs, not scholarly works on mythology. --Lrednuas Senoroc (talk) 12:18, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate/DRAFT/whatever-it's-called-now. This is an almost perfect example of an article which falls under WP:ARSSCOPE. De Guerre (talk) 23:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So far we have these claims in support of the article:

Things like Shahmaran could be discussed in the article.
- But Shahmaran is not currently discussed in the article. And all those things (Shamaran, Zahhak, Kave) happen to be part of Iranian mythology, though it seems that other Middle Eastern cultures in the region, including Kurdish, share this folklore, with slight variations. So far we have no scholarly sources on anything that could be classified as specifically Kurdish mythology. These things should rather be discussed in articles on Middle Eastern mythology, Anatolian mythology or Iranian mythology.
The Kurds are an "ancient people" so there must be something. "Sources exist"
- Ancient people usually refers to Antiquity, with Kurds this makes no sense since they only enter the historical record in the late medieval period. What we need are scholarly sources on Kurdish mythology, which don't seem to exist. We don't even have historical sources for the Kurds prior to the the medieval period. The current status of this article does not merit an article, and it's not likely that scholarly sources will be found. The sources mentioned so far are not scholarly works on mythology, they are fringe nationalist sources or unscholarly works on current affairs.

This article could actually be part of a kurdification strategy of kurdish nationalists to claim Yazidi, Assyrian, Iranian and other cultures as "kurdish mythology". We have already enough articles on national mysticism on wikipedia, we don't need to invent new ones.--Lrednuas Senoroc (talk) 19:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- - - a) Not so clearly, as the Kurds article says, the Kurds are ethnically very diverse. b) No, there is no article on Yazidi mythology for instance.

Comment: May I suggest to some to read WP:AGF again. It is unfortunate that some always have to resort to personal attacks instead of bringing rational arguments for or against the article.

The article could not be so innocent as it appears to outsiders, it could be part of an irredentist strategy of cultural appropriation by kurdish nationalists to claim Yazidi, Assyrian, Iranian and other minority cultures as "kurdish mythology". Examples of this strategy:

Some Yazidis expressed concern over forced assimilation into Kurdish culture and identity. Some have accused the Kurdish parties of diverting US $12 million reconstruction funds allocated for Yazidi areas in Jebel Sinjar to a Kurdish village and marginalizing them politically.[7] According to the Human Rights Watch, in 2009, "The goal of these tactics is to push Shabak and Yazidi communities to identify as ethnic Kurds. The Kurdish authorities are working hard to impose Kurdish identity on two of the most vulnerable minorities in Iraq, the Yazidis and the Shabaks".[8]
Kurds have annexed Assyrian, Yazidi and Shabak villages which are now under Kurdish Control in North Iraq.[5] In some towns, Assyrian politicians have been replaced with Kurdish ones.
Yazidi activists have reported that, since 2003, there have been numerous cases of Yazidi women being abducted and forced to marry members of the Kurdish security force Asayish. A report from Minority Rights Group International.[9]
A quote from a lawyer Kuryo Meytap in an interview: "The policy of Kurdification is operated for decades. The Assyrian history is systematically distorted, many Assyrian villages still be kept busy, the names of the Assyrian cities and villages are specifically converted into Kurdish."[13]
According to Hunain Qaddo, President of the Iraqi Minorities Council, Shabaks are currently undergoing a process of Kurdification.[14]
On 15 August 2005, Shabaks organised a demonstration under the slogan "We are the Shabak, NOT Kurds and NOT Arabs", demanding recognition of their unique ethnic identity.The demonstration came under fire from Kurdistan Democratic Party militia.[15]
In 2008, Mr Mirza Ismail, chairman of London Yezidis Community-Canada, accused the Kurdistan Regional Government of forcing Yazidis to register as Kurds, expanding Kurdish settlements in Yazidi regions, and forcing Yazidis out of Sinjar city.[17] --Lrednuas Senoroc Temp (talk) 12:34, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I hope you don't mind, I fixed the formatting of your big comment. AGF would also seem to imply not assuming cultural appropriation. I may not have been clear with the "snow keep" comment, so here's the thing: If this is a controversy about nationalistic politics, there is no possible way that we are going to sort it out in AfD.

The main issue is still that the article currently is a stub that is very poorly referenced and that no scholarly sources for "kurdish mythology" seem to exist. Google books shows about 10-20 books, none of them are comprehensive and scholarly works on mythology, the most relevant of them (about mythology, not about politics) is a book from Books LLC.

There are no scholarly sources, and the articles on Kurdish folklore, Origin of the Kurds, Kurdish nationalism, Ancient Mesopotamian religion, Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia, Middle Eastern mythology or Anatolian mythology could be expanded.--Lrednuas Senoroc Temp (talk) 09:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article definitely needs rewriting and citing, so I'd not oppose Userfy as the decision. I think the topic very probably deserving of an article, which doesn't mean that this sorry piece of uncited WP:OR is it.

David McDowall's A Modern History of the Kurds (I. B. Tauris, 2004) states "Various myths exist concerning Kurdish origins. The myth that the Kurds are descended from children hidden in the mountains to escape Zahhak, a child-eating giant, links them mystically with 'the mountain' and also implies, since the myth refers to children rather than one couple, that they may not all be of one origin. A similar story suggests that they are descended from the children of slave girls of King Solomon, sired by a demon named Jasad, and driven by the angry king into the mountains. Another myth claims the Prophet Abraham's wife Sarah was a Kurd, a native of Harran, and thus validates Kurdish identity within the mainstream of monotheism. There is a danger of outsiders dismissing such myths as worthless; they are valuable tools in nation building, however dubious historically, because they offer a common mystical identity, exclusive to the Kurdish people."

Also of interest is Kurdish Oral Literature (ed. Philip Kreyenbroek, 2010) which tells the story of Kawe the blacksmith connected to Shahname and the myth of Newroz, which I think others have mentioned above. There are thus definitely Kurdish myths to be discussed and cited in the article. On Shahmaran, that the myth is shared by the Kurds is I think sufficient for it to be included in an article on this topic, as long as the sharing is noted.

We have the choice, therefore, of rewriting and citing the article now, of userfying it, or indeed of the WP:TNT option of telling people to start over. Whichever it is, an article should cover the topic, and the current one needs to be replaced. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the nominator is the previous ID of User:Hassan Rebell, who has been indef blocked for his misuse of Wikipedia to mass delete Kurdish culture articles for Turkish nationalist reasons, WP:AGF really no longer applies. As Chiswick Chap points out, we do have a choice: to delete or to keep it and improve. Per WP:DENY, I say we keep and tag for improvement, or userfy, close this Afd, and move on.

Iodine (125I) CC49[edit]

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

There are tens of thousand radioactively labeled substances in the scientific literature yet there are *very few* wikipedia pages devoted to a single, specific radiolabled substance -- in those cases they fulfill the criterion of notability. There are many thousands of radioiodine-labled substances in the literature but only one page describing a single example -- this page. But this single example does not warrant its own page. The subject of this page completely lacks notability: there is nothing distinguishing this particular substance from all other radioiodine-labled substances; there is nothing distinguishing this reagent from other biomedical reagents, particularly since this was tested and found to have no therapeutic value (Wikipedia cannot be a compendium of every failed substance tested); the work described is over a decade old and does not appear to have led to other significant findings or served as the foundation of other significant finding; and the unlabeled compound (CC49) itself is also lacking in notability such that there is no page for CC49. If there was a CC49 page, then this subject could be moved to that page. But there is a similar lack of notability for CC49 and there no page for that, thus this page about radioiodinated-CC49 should be removed from Wikipedia.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2015 November 28. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 16:53, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ (from creator). At least one independent source in article (Biotherapy, a book). 33 search results on PubMed, so it's used at least experimentally. It's also for sale, although I don't know whether / how frequently it is used in practice. It has got an ATC code (V09IX03 (WHO)), so at the very least the WHO took it seriously as a diagnostic agent at some point. Also, it's not true that this is a failed substance: while it failed as a therapy, it seems to work as a diagnostic agent.

Regarding the "very few" radiolabelled substances covered on WP: See ATC code V09 and ATC code V10 for counterexamples (including quite a few radioiodine compounds). --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Merge into Minretumomab. Per this article in Nature, table 2, CC49 (uniodinated) = minretumomab. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 18:51, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• The above comment contains incorrect information. Some of the comment involves irrelevant information and some disputed information:

(1.) The subject of this WP page, [125-I]-CC49, is not for sale. The product cited is for a different composition, a generic monoclonal antibody used for immunostaining. There are many thousands of antibodies for sale. The existence of a secondarily related commercial product is not evidence of this item's notability(Wikipedia:Notability). Instead, the lack of a commercial product of this item supports the conclusion of non-notability.

(2) The references on PubMed do not indicate "it's used at least experimentally." The newest reference is over 8 years old indicating it was of interest once upon a time ago. Because there are millions of references on PubMed, the existence of a few reference by itself cannot evidence of notability. In this case, the lack of recent publications actually supports the conclusion of non-notability.

(2a) In fact, there are many more references in PubMed to a closely related [131-I]-CC49 than there are [125-I]-CC49, yet there is no WP page on [131-I]-CC49 and nor should there be. The existence of this old literature is indicative of a dead end. And, similar to the point about old citations on PubMed not by itself being evidence of notability, the existence of a dead end line of research is not evidence of notability either -- there are too many millions of dead ends to be cataloged in Wikipedia, unless a dead end is *particularly* notable. Nothing currently indicates notability for any radioiodinated version of this antibody, nor for the specific [125-I] version of this antibody in the WP page in question.

(3) The commenter cites inclusion on the WHO ATC list, stating "the WHO took it seriously as a diagnostic agent at some point." Perhaps the commenter does not know how the system works but the existence of a composition on that list does not mean it was evaluated or validated in any scientific or biomedical way. To the contrary, the organizers of the ATC/DDD database are not allowed to make a judgement about scientific or medical utility, rather their role is limited to insuring the required paperwork is in order and that it contains the requisite data. Inclusion on the list is driven solely by those who bother to make the effort to submit documentation. These are entities that typically have a vested interest (Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest), e.g., a pharmaceutical company, although some entities may be impartial academics. The existence of a composition on the ATC/DD list by itself is not evidence of notability.

(4) The commenter's conclusion that "it seems to work as a diagnostic agent" is disputable. There are no [125-I]-CC49 commercial medical diagnostic kits in existence for any medical condition. There are no commercial medical diagnostic kits of the different, unlabeled CC49 antibody for any medical condition. There is no evidence of medical pathology laboratory procedures that currently involve the use of this antibody for diagnosis of any medical condition. It is true that a different, unlabeled antibody is for sale and that antibody can be used for research purposes. But that is not the same thing as being a diagnostic agent.

(5) The commenter is incorrect about "counterexamples" that indicate "quite a few radioiodine compounds." Ironically, the citations support the opposite, original critique that there are very few. Again, there are tens of thousands of radiolabled compositions, and thousands of examples of radiolabled antibodies. Yet the two citations the commenter provides only lists a few dozen. This is evidence of "few," not "many." Those lists contain many irrelevant radioistopes and irrelevant molecules that are labeled. As to the more restricted case of radioiodine, the commenter's list includes only ~9, most of them not [125-I]-labeled but are small molecules or non-relevant proteins labeled with different radioiodine isotopes -- only one is an antibody and it's [131-I]-labeled. Again, out of tens of thousands of RADIOLABLED compositions and out of many thousands of RADIOIODINATED compostions, the commenter's lists are evidence of very few, not many. This, in fact, supports the conclusion of non-notability.Lapabc (talk) 20:42, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen that I changed from Keep to Merge? For ¹²⁵I-CC49 to be merged into Minretumomab, it does not have to be notable in itself. Apart,

(1)+(4) Of course the radioiodinated compound is not for sale. Radiolabelling is usually done immediately before usage. That said, you may be right that it isn't (currently) used as a diagnostic agent.

(2) Notability is not temporary: WP:NTEMP. Also, notability is about coverage in reliable sources. It doesn't matter how many other substances are covered on PubMed.

(3) I know how ATC works. Again, this is about coverage ("attention") in reliable sources such as WHO's, not about whether it is of scientific or medical utility.

(5) I was refuting your claim about there being "a single example" of a radioiodinated compound. In this context, "quite a few" was meant to mean "more than one". Sorry for not being precise. And again, the number of substances not covered on Wikipedia does not establish non-notability (WP:OTHERSTUFF).
