This is a procedural nomination started by 68.184.12.79 (talk · contribs). Their reason given in the edit summary was "Some material are unsourced and not referenced correctly. It is now noted for deletion". I passed this submission through Articles for creation but am neutral on the result. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - no valid deletion rationale has been offered. "Unsourced material" (of which there is very little) is not a reason for deletion. In terms of notability, this music label has signed multiple notable artists, which is usually a strong indicator of notability. It also has sufficient RS coverage to meet the GNG. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:38, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Memorial page for an attorney who does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. There is one claim of notability, his induction into the IP Hall of Fame, but that's not enough to meet the inclusion criteria. PROD was removed by author without comment. Should be deleted per WP:NOTMEMORIAL. MelanieN (talk) 23:34, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I thank MelanieN (talk · contribs) for her extremely kind yet exceedingly painfully ill-thought out nomination of this article for the dustbin of doom. If we care to look at the article and references provided, and not what MelanieN (talk · contribs) thinks she's read, it is quite apparent that adequate sources are provided. The so-caled argument for deletion consists of WP:NOTMEMORIAL; I hesitate to point this out because it should be obvious but this isn't an inclusion argument, and it isn't even policy (WP:NOTPOLICY). The Prod was removed because of its basal stupidity. Furthermore, indications of notability are provided, most prominently an obituary in The Times. One does not receive entries in Who's Who and an obituary in The Times for being a run of the mill lawyer. Finally, FFS, heaven forbid that I write articles on slightly obscure but notable deceased public figures, instead of lists of the personal details of minor footballers and cricketers that's what wanted if you choose to take Wikipedia seriously. I am laughing so much at your lack of competence user:MelanieN. Le petit fromage (talk) 23:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTMEMORIAL, part of WP:NOT, is policy, FWIW. So is WP:NPA, and you seem perfectly capable of advancing your argument without resorting to personal attacks, so please strike your last sentence as inappropriate. postdlf (talk) 00:21, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Le petit fromage, I can tell you are upset about this. (However, you really shouldn't use that kind of edit summary no matter how upset you are.) Clearly this man and his family are very important to you, since you recently created Margaret Justin Blanco White and G.R. Blanco White as well as this article. Nobody wants to hear that a subject they care about might not meet the criteria for inclusion here. But Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and it does have to have criteria for inclusion. The basic criterion is the general notability guideline which states that the subject must have received significant coverage from independent reliable sources. The Times is certainly an independent reliable subject, and some people think that a Times obituary is all that is needed to meet the criteria. If they do, they can say so; that is why we are having a public discussion here. "Who's Who" is not as strong, since there are many Who's Who publications, some of which are based entirely on payment to be included. As for the Hall of Fame - we grant automatic inclusion for a highly significant prize such as Nobel or Pulitzer; the IP Hall of Fame does not fall in that category. The decision to keep or delete will be made by the Wikipedia community, not by any one individual, and this discussion will remain open for a week. I see that you have added some additional references; keep that up, if you can; depending on what the sources are, they might help to prove the suitability of the subject for inclusion. Please understand that I have nothing against the gentleman, or against you; I am just enforcing Wikipedia's standards here. --MelanieN (talk) 01:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:42 is not the guideline for "significant coverage" and its citation is not likely to be helpful: See WP:NOT42. James500 (talk) 13:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am familiar with the essay "NOT42" but I don't happen to agree with it. I find 42 a very useful shortcut for explaining, in simple language, what we are talking about in this kind of discussion. --MelanieN (talk) 15:42, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Times obituary (what I can see of it for free) says he "was the best intellectual property lawyer to have practised in England since Fletcher Moulton". This commemoration speech calls him "a giant in his field" and says that "his text book 'Patents for Inventions' became a classic for many, many years". The preface to Guidebook to Intellectual Property describes him as the "greatest of all IP lawyers". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:22, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Times obit plus a commemoration speech published in an Oxford journal is good enough for notability. Bacchiad (talk) 02:57, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Note that he was also inducted into the American Intellectual Property Law Association's Hall of Fame, posthumously. http://www.aipla.org/about/newsroom/PR/press-releases/Pages/IP-HALL-OF-FAME.aspx All together, he seems to pass WP:ACADEMIC at #1 and possibly #2, and WP:AUTHOR #3. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:48, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily satisfies GNG. An obituary in The Times is conclusive proof of notability, as is an entry in A & C Black's Who's Who, which is the original Who's Who, has an awesome reputation for only including notable individuals, and is not comparable to its imitators, some of which are scams. QC might satisy WP:ANYBIO as it "indicates pre-eminence within the profession", especially one appointed in 1969 when there were significantly fewer QCs, and is presently included in WP:LAWYERS. James500 (talk) 13:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks, all, for your comments and the additional sources - particularly the commemoration speech which finally supplies enough biographical information for a proper Wikipedia article. I intend to withdraw the nomination, but first I will add the new information to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 14:13, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have always considered an obituary in a major national newspaper as clear evidence of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not actually sure where I stand on this concept. It could serve as something of an addendum to the History of the National Hockey League series. If kept though, the specific implementation needs to be reworked. First and foremost, massive amounts of POV need to be cleaned up. Also, it mixes some of the significant moments in NHL history with pure trivia - notably "May Day" and Roenick and Roy's press conference trash talk. Lidstrom scoring from centre ice? Really? Statue of Liberty goal? Really? Honestly, this looks like the list was compiled by Red Wings fans at Reddit. "Notability" is not the right word for what I mean, but we would need a way to demonstrate that specific events really are part of true NHL lore. I can think of a couple general hockey books I have that do specific call-outs of certain things, but the risk of this devolving into trivia is high. I have a few other thoughts and concerns, but those are more of an editorial nature and is something we could work through if a keep opinion emerges here. Reso lute 00:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Lidstrom scores from centre ice is understandable to be removed, but the Statue of Liberty goal is actually quite famous among hockey fans. The issue also is that NHL lore, while notable to hockey fans, isn't as established in the same way as NFL lore, despite the fact that the former is a major part of Canadian sports culture. Roenick and Roy was included because when I opined on this piece on NHL message boards, the consensus was that it should be included, as it's a very famous event. However, if it's not truly notable "lore", then yes, I understand removing it. The POV problem I have been told about, and I agree, it does need to be cleaned up. It's written more dramatically, like a book or an news article, rather than an encyclopedic entry. If this page gets a "keep" consensus, I will definitely contribute strongly to the cleanup process.StrangeApparition2011 (talk) 00:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I believe the more typical approach in Wikipedia for an overview article listing "notable events and incidents considered important or memorable" for a topic is to have a "Timeline of..." article. I think the motivation for such an article should be clarified: is it essentially a summary article for the "History of the National Hockey League" series? isaacl (talk) 01:42, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. India-related articles are tempting to delete because they tend to be poorly written and treat subjects that are of no interest to Americans. However, this seems to be a fairly big production.

alt: WP:INDAFD: Yevade Subramanyam

Keep Sorry nominator, but we do not claim WP:CRYSTALBALL if truly diligent WP:BEFORE shows notability. As this has completed filming and is the first Telugu film to be shot on Everest, we have a decent assertion of notability,[1] and as it IS receiving coverage and is both sourcable and improvable,[2] we have a topic that meets WP:NFF (paragraph 3). It needs work, not deletion. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 01:25, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @MichaelQSchmidt: @Bacchiad: Thanks for the comments and sources.

That's speculation, and beside the point. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:52, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:GNG, the sources must be "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." A brief citation does not qualify as "significant coverage" nor does it establish notability. Piboy51 (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jessica Scheu[edit]

I stumbled into this while patrolling new pages.

Example article - there are about 50 of these non-notable state level pageant winner one or two liners linked from Miss USA 2015. I propose that all 50 similar articles be deleted for they are:

purely promotional
about persons only notable for one event
poorly sourced
created by a sock army evidently run by the pageant company as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mrdhimas
Really an SEO effort to build Wikipedia links to MissUSA/MissUniverse and related websites as they have a definite varied pattern of links using a variety of anchor text, bare URLs and various pages on these websites.

This may well be various individuals in the direct or indirect employ of the pageant co. Comments on this talk page are VERY revealing under Your edits he says: I will hand off this project to Vanbros.com who are agents for Alexis (one of the subjects). They initially set this up. I was just trying to assist with adding the information. I hope Vanbros.com knows what they are doing.

JTdale, you're talking about ЗНМ (Macedonian: Здружение на Новинари на Македонија; eng: Association of Journalists of Macedonia), formed 2 August 1944, when the state was officially formed. This article is about МАН (mac: Македонска Асоцијација на Новинари; eng.

Keep We can discuss whether embassies are inherently notable or whether they are notable without exception (but their notability needs to be proved). There will be more than enough coverage on either of these embassies. It's all about someone looking it up. In the meantime, this is a perfectly valid stub missing third party coverage but reliably covered by the Colombia Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Queer parenting in Canada[edit]

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

As written, this isn't really an encyclopedia article — rather, it's planted somewhere along the road between an essay and a how-to guide to locating government services and support resources. (One of the things I've already stripped from the article was a directory of offsite links to "resource" organizations.) I hasten to point out that this isn't a homophobia thing — I'm rather well known around here as an openly gay man, and I actually maintain an internal project for improvement of Canadian LGBT coverage. But we already have a general article about LGBT parenting, and the "how-to" stuff (which is, per longstanding policy, not what Wikipedia is for) is the only thing that's really distinguishing this Canadian version from the main one.

Keep. I think that this is a notable topic. In response to the question, "Is Canada special when it comes to LGBT people?" I would say yes, each country has its own laws and cultural norms that affect LGBT parents differently. It would be impossible to discuss country-specifics within LGBT parenting so it makes sense to spin it off into other articles. There are problems with the tone and content of the article but this should be improved per WP:Deletion is not cleanup. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 02:04, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename LGBT parenting in Canada ~~Merge, maybe~~ - the standard convention is for a Homosexuality in Canada article which doesn't exist yet. Bizarrely, we have the split, LGBT history in Canada but not the "parent" article (no pun intended). These sorts of issues are usually dealt with there. The lack of an article at that title probably encouraged the creation of this one. That said, it may well be that this content there would create a WP:WEIGHT issue anyway. There's a notable topic in there somewhere but I don't think this is the right title (basically). St★lwart¹¹¹ 02:16, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename LGBT parenting in Canada and keep. We have Same-sex marriage in Canada and dozens of similar articles. while adoption/parenting laws are as much of a hot button topic, there is certainly enough public debate\policies\laws\organization\etc. on the issue in many countries to warrant country specific articles. That appears to be the case in Canada. The title should conform to the standard established by the main article (LGBT parenting).

It's possible that the topic is notable, but the article is basically a how-to (you can tell because of the detailed information it provides on things that would be relevant to LGBT couples seeking to have children in the real world, but that aren't part of the topic of LGBT parenting, like how in-vitro works).

Keep "DSO OBE MC" is a pretty good medal grouping. Even if you want to argue that none of these medals by itself merits inclusion (and this may be in doubt with regard to the DSO), you cannot argue that the grouping as a whole, with wartime service, is unnotable, given that notability is largely additive.

@Paulmcdonald: You linked to the CFL profile for Simeon Rottier, not Carlton Medder.

Comment Pretty sure he never played either. Also, just for future reference you won't find any stats for offensive linemen on cfl.ca. The only stats they would ever record are games played and those aren't listed there. They would have a profile though. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WO-9, for recent CFL players, CFL.ca does list the games played for offensive lineman, even if their game stats are obviously incomplete. See the Simeon Rottier profile link above, and click on the year/season hyperlinks on the first page for the lists of games played. CFL.ca is even worse for historical players than NFL.com is, and most historical CFL player profiles are non-existent. For signees in the last 6 or 7 years, however, CFL.ca did create a player profile at the time of their signing. For guys like Medder who signed, but never played, you can use the Wayback Machine to view their profile as they existed at the time. CFL.ca eventually deletes profiles for players who never played in a regular season game. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think cfl.ca actually deletes any profile pages. The pages that get deleted are the players profiles at the team websites. For example Ronald Hilaire was drafted and released before the start of the 2009 season. Offensive lineman Brad Erdos played in some games in 2014 and there are no stats on his page. Medder doesn't have a page because he was never on the active roster during the regular season and did not get drafted. [13][14] Thanks. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

United International University[edit]

Article about a relatively recently established private educational establishment, but with no independent reliable sources. There are plenty of brief press mentions, based on conferences being hosted at the university (a nice little earner), but nothing substantial about the university itself. The one redeeming feature may be its claim to be approved by the Bangladesh government. But it's not even listed, for example on the Ranking Web of Bangladesh Universities. Do we keep private education establishments based on the word 'university' in the name? It would be useful to clear this up. Sionk (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. According to WP:UNIGUIDE "In general, all colleges and universities are notable and should be included on Wikipedia". Webometrics is not a substantial source. UGC is the authority here. Though relatively a new one, UIU is a prominent university in Bangladesh, and in last 12 years it has been providing quality education and also doing substantial research. – nafSadh did say 05:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  - In fact, in some countries (including the United States) most universities are private institutions! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - As a note (for Sionk), universities in Bangladesh are autonomous and monitored by UGC. About half of them are state-funded, known as public and rest of the half are private. Each public university is established by the government through a legislative process; tuition in those universities are minimal (essentially acts as token money) and heavily funded by the government. In contrast, private bodies can establish universities which are regulated by a private universities act, self-financed and run by a board of trustees (initially created by the "investors"). Tuition in private universities are much higher as tuition and other fees collected from students is the only source of finance for these universities. Private and public universities in Bangladesh are analogous to private and state universities in the US. Though private universities in US attract a lot of donations and research funds, such help is non-existent in Bangladesh. – nafSadh did say 10:45, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose — You are trying to delete five articles here, and trying to delete additional rugby articles on another AfD. You really ought to raise the issue at the WP:RU talk page, and see if you can gain consensus on the standards that this WikiProject ought to apply regarding the notability of regional and local governing bodies. Barryjjoyce (talk) 07:47, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have used all the current criteria within WP:GNG, WP:NRU and Rugby Projects notability. Each of these articles listed above consist of a rewording of the title and an external link, they hold no encyclopedic value. If the project wishes to begin work on a consensus for notability they are free to do so. In any of the AFDs so far the only argument for keeping them is a sense of WP:Inherited. I have tried to maintain a regional separation between the AFDs except for this one because they all fall under the same umbrella mention previously. I still have to go through the British Columbia Rugby Union, the primary union page has some references which is a huge step up from any other Canadian union page so far, however the sub-unions and individual clubs probably do not warrant their own articles. - McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 15:23, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – It seems that the project was notified of these AfDs by a bot after January 1, although some members had noticed a few of them earlier. I agree that this was not the most consensus-oriented way to go about a mass deletion. As far as I can tell, the project's notability guidelines apply to professional rugby. That doesn't mean that the governing bodies of province-level amateur rugby are not notable. Presumably they were thought to be notable when they were included in the navbar that appears under every Canadian rugby article. If these articles are deleted and then the project tries to get them back, the result will be a lot of churn that could have been avoided by discussing it first on the project talk page. – Margin1522 (talk) 22:04, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Please note also that although professionalism does exist in rugby union, it is a recent introduction, not actually very widespread and not the sole criterion for notability in the sport. Rugby union has traditionally been amateur, and in certain notable rugby playing nations such as Canada and Argentina this is still the case. Vancouver Rugby Union qualifies in this regard. -MacRùsgail (talk) 14:01, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure This is one in a series of annual events, the others of which have Wikipedia articles and are presumed to meet notability criteria. See Template:Manhunt International. This event is upcoming, so there is a grey area about WP:CRYSTAL, but with ~10 other articles from previous years being covered, it seems likely that this one will have an article too. This could be merged into the main article. Also, this event seems to happen primarily outside of the English language, so there could be non-English sources covering this but which have been difficult to check on English Wikipedia.

This programming language is notable because it represents a productivity improvement (generates from a single program the server code, client code, AJAX interoperation as a single function call, and typed sql access), and an integration quality enhancer vs actual solutions. Check some reviews here:

* Phys.org

* ComputerWorld

* MIT (more technical).

And it works. Other web integration languages, the Links (programming language) is nor as ready, neither as powerful, as Ur, and is also in the wikipedia Griba2010 (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]

The 3rd link is not a sign of notability. The first two both indicate that this is a paper that hasn't even been released yet. The phys.org one says "Provided by MIT", so is not independent of the subject and does not count towards notability. There is no sign of anyone ever programming in this language or gaining any traction outside these essentially press releases.Gaijin42 (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Having an article on the syntax of a programming language is not really encyclopedic. If someone could find and add information about the language's use, relevance in academia, or really anything other than its syntax, it might be notable. Piboy51 (talk) 17:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The bar for programming languages is pretty low. Usually all that's required is to show it is used by someone other than the creators.

Weak delete. All the coverage seems to pertains to a single news cycle, by the looks of it triggered by a single press release (MIT has a good PR department).

Keep, tentatively. How search for news coverage about this, while excluding its own news articles which appear in Google news? Seems notable anyhow, based on quality of its articles. If it has not yet been cited enough in other media (that we know about yet), it will be. Better to keep rather than delete and recreate. --do ncr am 21:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The french-speaking inhabitants in Florida are without doubt a lot now, and such creations are linked to. The media is professional, and the journalists have some french journalist cards IDs, what is only given by the union of the professional journalists "CCIJP". + there is not a such creations of newspapers on paper that we should ignore it. --GwendalGauthier (talk) 00:07, 10 January 2015 (UTC) (Note: User:GwendalGauthier is the editor of the Courrier, the author of this article, and a single-purpose account. --MelanieN (talk) 00:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC))[reply]

(Note: GwendalGauthier was invited by MelanieN and by me to vote/comment here, and GG has disclosed their connection to the Courrier (they are a founder), and they have been informed of wp:COI policy. There's nothing wrong with, and it is fact good, that they are participating here. They are a new editor and are not yet familiar with all our rules and policies and guidelines and practices. --do ncr am 18:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In discussion elsewhere, GG asserted that Le Courrier de Floride is more well known than all the former local french newspapers in the US which are listed in List of French-language newspapers published in the United States, and that there are almost 3 million French-speaking inhabitants in Florida, and that French is now the third language spoken in Florida after English and Spanish, which is all possibly/likely true. Thanks for pointing to that list-article! I agree with MelanieN that the decision to keep a separate article or not should be based on our wp:notability standards which requires documentation. It may be deemed here that the Courrier is not yet clearly well enough supported, but then it would be better to merge and redirect the article to the list of French-language newspapers, where it is mentioned. I "voted" Keep above and still think that's best, but merge and redirect for now would also be reasonable, IMO. --do ncr am 18:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Doncram and Gwendal, if you two can rescue this article, I'm all for it. Here are some links that might be of use to you: [16] and [17] And if we can't establish the notability of the paper at this point, a redirect to the list is a good suggestion. That would preserve the article's history, so that it could be expanded back to an article at a later date. --MelanieN (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MelanieN. I added some bits from those two sources to the article. It seems very relevant to cover the surprising-to-me size of French-speaking population in Florida now. I guess it's at its highest in the year, now in the midst of winter, with Quebecois snowbirds there. And great that you agree redirecting is better than outright deletion, if the choice is between them. I have been trying to improve List of French-language newspapers published in the United States, have found that several of them in the "current" section seem to be long-defunct, and that Haitian ones seem to be about Haiti not about the U.S. I am quite surprised about New Orleans french-language newspapers seeming to have disappeared long ago. It seems there's been quite a gap, and that Le Courrier de Floride is in fact the largest French-language newspaper in and about the U.S. or its area in the U.S. now.

This article's creator's name is "Arrakech"; add an "M" to the front of that, for "marrakech", and a search + lean in Google reveals more potential SPA/COI issues.

Delete gallery and Keep non-profit: Procedurally I'm not sure exactly how to handle the addition of the (non-profit) article to the AFD; my original delete nomination of the (gallery) article still stands but it seems to me that Mr. Troutman has improved the (non-profit) article enough for that article to pass WP:GNG. Vrac (talk) 14:21, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vrac, that would be that the gallery page should become a redirect to the non-profit page. There are a whole lot of reasons why the gallery page shouldn't be deleted if we keep the non-profit page. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 15:31, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the (non-profit) article and convert the (gallery) article to a redirect. Thanks to Chris's improvements to the (non-profit) article, I think we are getting close to consensus that it is a keep. That means that we can't delete the (gallery) article, because content was merged from there in (this edit) and we need to preserve the history. However, I would suggest that the final title of the (non-profit) article be changed, and maybe the title of the redirect also. Nobody is going to type the titles with parentheses, but they will show up in the regular search box as article titles. We should disambiguate the titles further to indicate that they are not a gallery of pictures of people (human resources), or an article about human resource policies at NPOs. It's the name of an art space. So I would suggest something like "Human Resources (art space)" or "Human Resources (non-profit art space)". – Margin1522 (talk) 19:55, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as a recognised populated place. If we can verify its mere existence (as has now been done for this village) such articles are normally allowed to remain. "Original research" is unfortunately rife among articles of this type. I think it is tolerated because we would otherwise lose much basic information about a place, and because much of it could (in principle) be verified by visiting the place and seeing for oneself. I would only remove trivia, advertising, non-notable residents and the like: Noyster (talk), 10:29, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's unusual as a Wikipedia topic, but it's supported, and seems to be split out from the corresponding airport article. It's an editing decision when to split out content. By regular editing processes, hopefully with Talk discussion, an editor could, without AFD, edit in the airport article and redirect this. Better not to force the editing by an AFD decision imposed from afar. --do ncr am 00:07, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. This is a tough one. Some arguments brought forward are without merit: the quality of the nom is not important. Once nominated, we should address the question of notability, whatever the quality of the nom. Also, whether or not an article exists on another wiki is irrelevant either, unless that other article points to some sources that may help us here. That the organization has nothing done of note in the last 200 years is also irrelevant, as notability is not temporary. There are valid arguments for keeping and for deleting the current article. However, it appears that up to and including the period around the French Revolution, sufficient sources can be found (one of them a whole book, although I do not have the expertise to decide whether this is a reliable source). Whether or not the current incarnation of the order merits any mention in the article can be discussed on the talk page. Randykitty (talk) 16:51, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article's creator, seems to be a single purpose account. The user only ever edited that article, and chivalric orders, which they only edited to insert information on the article they created. This makes me think that the article was created by somebody connected to a modern self-styled order who was trying to give their group a veneer of legitimacy by connecting it to (fictional or historic) groups that were also named after St George. 79.97.226.247 (talk) 18:56, 30 December 2014 (UTC) Edited 79.97.226.247 (talk) 19:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – This order has a corresponding article in the French WP: fr:Ordre de Saint-Georges de Bourgogne. Unfortunately they can't be linked right now because they belong to different items at Wikidata. The items need to be merged and I don't know how to do that. There is also a discrepancy in the founding dates. The French WP says 1435, not 1390. Also everything from "From the French Revolution..." in the English article is missing in the French version (per nom, possibly because a present-day member wants to take it further). Anyway I think it was real and a valid topic for an article. The present-day connections can be checked separately without deleting the article. – Margin1522 (talk) 18:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's so little useful information on the page, and so little indication (unconvincing assertions aside) what, if anything, connects any of these groups other than being named after St George, that even if it were to be kept it looks like a case of WP:BLOWITUP. 79.97.226.247 (talk) 11:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Going by the article, this organization (if it actually exists as a contiguous entity, which is doubtful) has done nothing in 200 years, and is less notable than the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes Lodge No. 26. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Раціональне анархіст (talk • contribs) 05:49, 5 January 2015
Comment – From the French WP article and the sources in the article, I think we can probably say that the description is valid through the French Revolution. Of course, to be sure we'd have to read the books. The situation is murkier after that. Here is a page from www.heraldica.org on "Revived and Recently Created Orders of Chivalry", according to which this order died out in France around 1830, and was revived in the 1920s by a dubious individual in Italy, died out again, was condemned as a "false order" by the Holy See in 1953, and has been revived again more recently. So the first part of this article appears to be OK. We can decide later what to with the second part -- delete it, ask for more references, or handle it as a "bogus order", according to how other such cases have been handled. – Margin1522 (talk) 15:56, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- The French WP article has existed since 2006. They obviously think it worth having. If the article has some unreliable content, that should have words of scepticism added, or be deleted from the article, or be tagged, as the circumstances may require. Hoiwever there is a core of material on the late medieval/early modern period, whcih shoudl clearly survive AFD. No doubt the conclusions of Margin1522 can be edited into the article (if they are not already there. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think the corresponding French article is a reason to keep. The creator of that article's first edit was to an article [someone who was supposedly a member of the "order" as well.] Given that the page on the English wikipedia was also created in 2006, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that both were created as part of a coordinated effort by the group at self-promotion. Particularly since website is available in two languages: French and English. 79.97.226.247 (talk) 00:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As a matter of policy, the existance of an article on the same subject on the French WP isn't evidence of notability. Which thus leaves us with an article created by a single-purpose account, citing obscure untranslated foreign-language texts, with no inline referencing indicating what comes from where - or indeed whether particular material is actually supported by any of the sources cited at all. My (very limited) French, combined with Google translate [18], suggests that the French WP version is in a similar state - only citing less sources. It does at least begin with an equivocal "Selon certains historiens..." ("According to certain historians..."), which may imply more than it states outright. It is of course entirely possible that this Noble Order is of the historical significance claimed, and that the historical continuity implied is real - but I think we have to conclude that there isn't enough evidence presented for this to be verified without a level of research that is beyond what might be reasonably expected. If anyone wishes to do such research, and to write a new properly-cited version, that will of course be open to them. But for now, I can't see the justification for the present article as an encyclopaedic entry. There are just too many unanswered questions. AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:33, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – OK, the fact that a French article exists is not proof of notability. That's a valid policy argument against one reason for keeping it. But the reasons for the rest of the no !votes seem pretty flimsy. For example • WP:UNFAMILIAR. But we have many articles on orders of St. George (see Order of St. George (disambiguation)). That ~~you~~ an editor is unfamiliar with them is not an argument. • That it was created by an SPA. But policy says that's irrelevant (WP:INVOLVE). • That it lacks inline references. But general references are also allowed (WP:GENREF). • That the sources are offline. But according to WP:PAPERONLY that doesn't matter either. "If an editor seeking deletion believes the creator placed fictitious references in the article to make a hoax seem legitimate, the burden of proof is on the one seeking deletion. This will only occur with definitive proof or knowledge that these sources are really fictitious, and not based simply on a hunch." That's because of our basic policy of WP:AGF.

There is one online reference in the article, the Google Books paragraph in the German book, which in general confirms the story through 1715. There is also this book (see also Chapter 8 "Resurrecting a Dead Dodo") and the heraldica.org page that I cited. And our article on Self-styled orders. It seems to be that we plenty of tools for dealing with implicit claims of continuity. Unproven suspicions and lack of interest in medieval history are not valid reasons for deletion. – Margin1522 (talk) 18:24, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where did anyone mention a "lack of interest in medieval history?"79.97.226.247 (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't want to put words in anybody's mouth. But we are discussing deletion of an article on a medieval order. Instead of looks fishy and may or may not have existed, I think we should try to find out whether it did or not. For example, the author of the main book has an article on the French Wikipedia – fr:Éric Thiou. From the bibliography, he looks like a legitimate historian, so that is probably genuine. – Margin1522 (talk) 23:05, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Lack of substantial coverage in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. Self-promotional OR based on dubious sources. Can't even tell if this group existed or exists in the real world at all, so probably safe in assuming that it doesn't. As the same goes for the article on French WP, it means nothing and adds nothing in terms of notability. It's pure drivel, and can be deleted in it's entirety. Nothing worth saving or merging. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 17:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete- the only question is whether this bogus order has value to the encyclopedia as an example of a prominent self-styled order. I would suggest we've already got enough articles on more prominent organizations of this type. Reyk _YO! 07:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – It's going on two weeks now and probably getting close to closing. I'd just like to remark once more that the !votes questioning the order's existence seem rather dubious, given that the article cites an entire book on its history. Look at it this way. If we did have an article on a medieval order, would we delete it in order to prevent a latter-day revival from inserting material about itself? No. But that is essentially what is being proposed here. – Margin1522 (talk) 04:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As with many other "procedural" deletion nominations, the quality of the nomination is poor. There's no real justification for deletion provided in the nomination, there's no accountability offered by editor Reyk. These types of nominations shouldn't be allowed, IMHO. Keep per Peterkingiron and other discussion. --do ncr am 18:45, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I can find next to no coverage of this topic in English language books, and as there seems no way of verifying the foreign language sources claimed in the article, this leads to believe it doesn't meet the WP:GNG requirements for "significant coverage" in independent reliable sources.

Wikipedia:Significant coverage is defined in Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which says:

Wikipedia:Notability (sports)/FAQ says:
Q6: What constitutes "non-routine" secondary coverage for sports?
A6: Routine news coverage of sporting events, such as descriptions of what occurred, is not considered to be sufficient basis for an article, following Wikipedia's policy of not being a place for routine news coverage. There should be significant coverage directly related to the subject. In addition to Wikipedia's guidance on reliable sources, also see Wikipedia's guidance on biographies of living persons for more information.

Delete Martin seems to be "world famous in Chattanooga" and consequently all coverage is in the Chattanooga Times Free Press or a local radio station. I find this exclusively local coverage insufficient to pass GNG. As it was firmly established in the previous AfD (and DRV) that he does not meet NBOX, there is nothing else left. (Note: I closed the original AfD). --Randykitty (talk) 06:48, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you feel there is a problem with "The Ring" as a source? It clearly isn't local and it's exactly the publication one would hope to see a boxer in. Hobit (talk) 11:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep young but seems to meet #4 Notability Requirement as stated above. As I said the first time In ictu oculi (talk) 09:00, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

except since as was argued first time round, #4 is widely recognised not to include junior competitions. So you are probably going to have to give people a bit more to work with here than a vague wave at a guideline. What is the competition that you think qualifies? Is it junior or senior? Is there any precedent for this? --_nonsense ferret 12:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As neatly summarized by Randykitty. My vote in the original AfD called him a big fish in a small pond - lots of local fuss.

Comment: I'm leaning towards Keep. According to The Ring (magazine)'s website, the guy did get the National Junior Golden Gloves title three times (from 2005 to 2007), the National Silver Gloves once and the National Junior Olympics once. I looked at notability guidelines for boxing and don't see any clear delineation against including someone who was a multiple National Junior Champion/Junior Golden Gloves winner.

Do you think There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject for boxer to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, ? C.dunkin (talk) 20:09, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't meet the notability criteria for boxers at WP:NBOX since junior titles (no matter how many you win) have never been considered to show martial arts (including boxing) notability. As for GNG, I've seen hundreds of athletes with lots of local coverage but few of them become notable. The prospect profile in Ring is a start towards meeting the GNG, although being called a prospect means he's not yet achieved notability.Mdtemp (talk) 21:20, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is a "term of art" on Wikipedia meaning he meets WP:N, which is solely about independent reliable sources. It doesn't mean he's famous or even a good boxer. Heck, if the NYT and Washington Post both wrote detailed articles about how bad of a boxer he was, he'd meet WP:N. Hobit (talk) 01:28, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Ring Magazine is a looong established magazine-its boxing's equivalent of Tiger Beat, Time Magazine, People Magazine, Elle, Popular Mechanics...you get it, it's a historical magazine that's become arguably part of Americana.

Delete fails nbox since long established that junior competitions dont carry anything like the same weight as senior. Considering carefully the coverage presented thus far in respect gng, I would have to conclude it is a little bit too soon for this up and coming young boxer, albeit that he is clearly heavily promoted. --_nonsense ferret 21:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If he's "clearly heavily promoted" isn't that part of the point we are discussing WP:GNG ? This shouldn’t be a case of WP:TOOSOON due to the many reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Many people from various media outlets/platforms have followed and documented the success/failures and stories of his young lifelong commitment to his sport.C.dunkin (talk) 02:39, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, passes WP:N In addition to the many reliable articles mentioned by Cunard I have included some others that have not been mentioned as a source here or at the Ryan Martin (Boxer) page.

"RYAN MARTIN STANDS OUT FROM SEA OF PROSPECTS". fighthype.com. Luis Sandoval. Retrieved 16 January 2015.

The article notes:

There is always a large sea of prospects in boxing, but there are those that stand out and separate themselves from the pack. Lightweight Ryan Martin (10-0, 6Kos) has been doing just that. The Chattanooga, TN native has been making noise in his 16 months as a professional and has been looking very impressive. Martin is currently signed to rapper and businessman 50 Cent's SMS Promotions. Although 2014 saw many fighters sitting on the sidelines waiting for a fight date, Martin was in the ring 8 times in 12 months. He fought on ESPN and major network undercards, including HBO and Showtime. Keeping busy and continuing to learn is top priority for Martin.Like most can't miss prospects, Martin seems to have the full package so far as a young professional. He's very talented, athletic, has fast hands, a precession-like jab and puts his punches together well. Ryan also has a decorated amateur career, which includes over 200 amateur wins and numerous National Championships and international experience.

"50 CENTS SMS PROMOTION SCORES WIN WITH RYAN MARTIN". www.hiphopmyway.com. Lucy Alvarez. Retrieved 9 April 2014.

The article notes:

Ryan Martin may arguably be the promotion’s flagship talent at the moment, with a push for champ in the works. Ryan Martin signed with the promotion in late 2013 and most recently took down Justin Robbins at the Chatman – Brewer fight on March 28th with a stunning second round knockout, bringing his record to 4-0 with three knockouts. An impressive step in a promising career.

"TALKING BOXING WITH ROSIE PEREZ". athleteoriginals.com. Chris Dey. Retrieved 17 October 2014.

The article notes: Walking through New York City on Wednesday and just happened to meet up with Rosie Perez on 45th & 9th as she was waiting for a cab. Now I had never met Rosie, but I felt like I knew Rosie…at least well enough to say hi. Because we have a common friend in Ryan ‘Blue Chip‘ Martin. Rosie is a big boxing fan and she’s been at a couple of Ryan’s fights since he turned pro last year. Now for those of you who don’t know Ryan yet…he’s special. It’s always fun to draw comparisons to past greats, but perhaps in Ryan’s case it’s best to just let him ‘tell his own story’

It is not clear at all that these sources contribute much at all to the case for notability, I have concerns about the significance, independence and reliability of these - one in particular seems to be from a company that is selling merchandise on the boxer's behalf. --_nonsense ferret 22:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

People reading and editing this page can check that this information comes from many non-self published reliable sources. Subject page has no original research and all information is verifiable. There's a plethora of sources from top boxing websites, magazines, newspapers, and other web-like organizations addressing the subject directly and in detail. The one source you question can be used for additional information because the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim. However, we know the article is certainly not based primarily on such source. I only mentioned it in this discussion. C.dunkin (talk) 02:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Doesn't meet WP:NBOX and I don't think there's quite enough significant independent coverage to meet GNG. Yes he's being heavily promoted, but that's not independent coverage.204.126.132.231 (talk) 21:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

Keep A quick google search show's that he is notable, and was clearly the organist for the Lawrence Welk show for 38 years, I agree that references need to be added, but clearly passes WP:BIO. War wizard90 (talk) 02:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep based on his long service with Lawrence Welk, for which he got surprisingly little coverage; in fact almost everything in the article is unsourced. I wasn't sure what to make of this subject. When I searched for sources, the main thing that cropped up was information about a conviction for child abuse. But the reliable sources had very little information, and the more detailed sources seemed less than solid for that kind of BLP negative info, so I did not add it to the article. On the other hand, that was about the only significant coverage he received, other than the encyclopedic work about TV shows. And since we can't see that entry, we don't know how significant it was. Maybe we should merge this to The Lawrence Welk Show since virtually nothing in the article is verified. --MelanieN (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - he's clearly not notable for his most recent work. But the fact that he was a writer on Barney & Friends would seem to be a verifiable fact. As far as writers of children's television shows go, that's a pretty big deal. A significant contribution to a notable creative work is probably enough for the subject to meet WP:CREATIVE. Without trying to otherstuff it, there's certainly an easier case to make for that than for the many d-grade uncredited actors for whom we have articles.

This article was up for PROD and, without looking closely enough, I de-PRODded it because I didn't think it was an uncontroversial deletion. The original PRODder didn't state the true problem with the article, just said it had no sources. I thought it just needed some sources checked to see if it was notable and then, if necessary, go through the AFD process with debate and such. But upon looking at the article in more detail, I realized that it is complete nonsense. The tour dates listed coincide with the real JYJ tour dates, but the cities have all been changed from the true locations in Asia. The attendance numbers have obviously been changed too. The source listed is even the long-defunct Melody Maker. This page is a hoax. Sorry for de-PRODding prematurely. Shinyang-i (talk) 03:27, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I should have said "no sources found" rather than just "no sources" as requirements for tours are pretty strict. Thanks to Shinyani-i for the additional leg work. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:08, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. There aren't even one reliable source. And looking at the tour dates, this is definitely a hoax. For example, "Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall" is a location in Taiwan or "Quân khu 7 Stadium" is a location in Vietnam, etc., not in Europe.--TerryAlex (talk) 02:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not notable. WP:MUSICBIO says one single on any country's charts is enough, but the sources for the article are inadequate. The one RS that I could find in Japanese was this one, about an event at a Tower record store. – Margin1522 (talk) 03:20, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs for this article:

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

Doesn't satisfy WP:NACTOR. The sole reference, Roger Ebert's book, just lists his credit in Just Go with It; Ebert's review doesn't mention him at all. P.S. I see that a prior Afd resulted in deletion~~, so this may qualify for speedy deletion~~. He's gotten a few more credits since then (2012), but nothing significant.
