Most of the sources are just regurgitated press releases, as seems to be the case when I tried to search for more sources.

Comment (warning possible rant to follow), following up on HullIntegrity and above comments, probably because the award is not US or Brit?, similar to another editor in another afd I was involved in who implied that a book review in the Sydney Morning Herald as not notable as it isn't the New York Times, anyway references to schoolsites that I gave above shows that it meets point 4. of nbook ... oh wait they are not US schools Coolabahapple (talk) 14:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable TV presenter with apparently no full list of credits and even her IMDb has little. With such little information, I still tried to search for sources (I'm a Spanish speaker so I would know how to read) and found nothing significant aside from News (mostly passing mentions for co-hosting with Angelica Rivera) and browser (similiar results, passing mentions for co-hosting) with Books, thefreelibrary and highbeam finding nothing. A look at the history here and here show the article had more unsourced information which was trimmed.

The result was redirect to Life extension. (or wherever). There's consensus against keeping, and most seem to believe that either deletion or a redirect (w/one mention of a "keep or merge") is appropriate, so I just rounded to redirect. The article's history is preserved for merging any contents, and if the redirect's target is disputed (or anyone feels it's simply not needed at all), it can be listed at redirects for discussion. slakrtalk / 05:14, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent neologism with no third-party verifiable evidence of noteworthiness or currency. The sources listed mostly do not in fact use the neologism, and much of the article text is about people who support a concept something like the neologism but never actually used it. The article was previously speedied as a duplication of longevity; the single-issue-editor creator just created it again. I PRODed it, the creator removed it. So AFD it is. Creator's apologia, which doesn't address that the RSes either don't use the neologism or don't use it with the meaning posited here. Zero Google newspaper sources, zero JSTOR hits, zero HighBeam hits, one scholarly usage which isn't this meaning. - David Gerard (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In my "apologia", I clearly showed the noteworthiness of the topic by demonstrating the satisfaction of each criterion in Wikipedia's general notability guideline. The guideline states that such adherence means that the article should be presumed suitable. The sources I used for demonstration both used the term longevism, in fact, and they used it as the article does, as I will prove below.
The first source, Hughes's chapter on transhumanism in Leadership in Science and Technology: A Reference Handbook,[3] even includes the term in a section heading, "Transhumanism, Singularitarianism, and Longevism". Throughout his chapter, he describes how scientists have worked to prolong life (as I have summarized in the article), and the section under that heading is of particular note: Hughes says (with my emphasis added),

In his 2004 history Rapture: A Raucous Tour of Cloning, Transhumanism, and the New Era of Immortality, Brian Alexander tells a story of the convergence of two communities —transhumanist longevists and genomic scientists. The book chronicles how, on the one hand, the longevity subculture—another movement that substantially overlaps with transhumanism—was gradually drawn away from pseudoscience and medical quackery to the actual science of longevity emerging from clinical trials, longitudinal studies, and genetics.

Not only does this establish the use of the term, but it also establishes longevists as part of a "subculture" and "movement". The other source I used, The White Death: A History of Tuberculosis,[4] has this to say (also with my emphasis added):

Medical consumerism – like all sorts of consumerism, only more menacingly – is designed to be unsatisfying. The prolongation of life and the search for perfect health (beauty, youth, happiness) are inherently self-defeating. The law of diminishing returns necessarily applies. You can make higher percentages of people survive into their eighties and nineties. But as any geriatric ward shows, that is not the same as to confer enduring mobility, awareness and autonomy. Extending life grows medically feasible, but it is often a life deprived of everything, and one exposed to degrading neglect as resources grow over-stretched and politics turn mean.

What an ignominious destiny for medicine if its future turned into one of bestowing meagre increments of unenjoyed life! It would mirror the fate of athletics, in which disproportionate energies and resources – not least medical ones, like illegal steroids – are now invested to shave records by milliseconds. And, it goes without saying, the logical extension of longevism – the "abolition" of death – would not be a solution but only an exacerbation. To air these predicaments is not anti-medical spleen – a churlish reprisal against medicine for its victories – but simply to face the growing reality of medical power not exactly without responsibility but with dissolving goals.

Note that these are both sources scholarly uses of the term (not just the "one scholarly usage" claimed above).
Additionally, I would like to point out that most of the sources referenced on the page do use the term longevism or longevist, or both, and many more can be found with a simple Google search.
Finally, I want to object to Mr. Gerard's attempt to discredit me. A perusal of the page for longevity makes it quite clear that longevism is not the same as longevity, so the speedy deletion was obviously unwarranted. Sure, I recreated the page after it was removed, but I addressed every point made by the deleter, and he has not tried to repeat his mistake in the month since his one and only attempt. I particularly object to being described as a "single-issue-editor creator", as I have been editing Wikipedia for years without using an account, and my Contributions page even shows a few recent edits on unrelated topics.

Note: Above comment is from the article creator.

An important study of longevism within the history of ideas is G. J. Gruman, "A History of Ideas about the Prolongation of Life", Transactions of the American Philosophical Association 56 (1966), 3–102.

Here, we can see he includes longevism under "Ideas about the Prolongation of Life". Given that an ideology is a set of ideas by definition, this supports the longevism page's description of the subject.

[...] different schools of longevism framed their contexts and characters in different ways, they nevertheless shared the common view that since the Enlightenment people have been living longer, and that their longevism has narrative as well as historical significance.[nb 2]

Here, we're shown that there can be "schools of longevism", as in schools of thought, again supporting the claim that longevism is an ideology. The talk of living longer in the Enlightenment, that era of science and reason, supports the page's definition further.

He was indeed in a very small minority of skeptics. The more pervasive view was the sunny optimistic one, based on wonder and miracle as much as anything else, the view that life was getting longer and the marvel that it was. There was a grotesque monstrosity in this growing longevism: [...]

This passage seems to refer to longevism as a view that marvels at life getting longer, corroborating even more the longevism article.
Could you please elaborate on your reasons why Cope here is "not talking about this at all"?
--Haptic-feedback (talk) 01:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cope is using the word as a backformation off of "longevity." In other words, he's using the word as a nonce formation rather than in reference to an ongoing or postulated ideology. "Longevity-ism" is the sense of the word in his passage. I believe he was dealing with the question of "progress" and the eternal question of optimism/pessimism in the age and the repercussions of empiricism.
He has been interested both in the reactions to Malthus and to the development of probablistic reasoning. (The last time I heard him speak, he was talking about how important Huygens's objections to inductive reasoning were and how the early 18th century had begun taking unknowable propositions and dividing them up into greater and greater likelihoods as a means of solving problems. That was . . . a few years before the publication of this book.)
The general problem we have to deal with is the stereotype of "enlightenment." Is the 18th century a time of cheerful faith in Science, or was it a time of vicious skepticism about the insidious effects of nascent capitalism, enclosures, uncertainty, and doubts about man's essential nature? Most of us know that the answer is actually "both, at the same time." Hithladaeus (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Hithladaeus: I agree that the word longevism is a backformation with a meaning like "longevity-ism". He surely uses the term to mean a belief, favour, trend, or something similar of longevity. But this is what I meant for the longevism page to be about. Where we disagree is on your point that his use of the word forbids future usage in the context of another time frame. Clearly, the term was adopted by others to refer to views in other periods, and the longevism page even shows how the concept has evolved from the era covered by Cope. What brings you to the conclusion that Cope pre-emptively limited the definition of the word? --Haptic-feedback (talk) 02:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • No word can been pre-emptively limited to one definition; however, saying a word can take on a new meaning is not the same as saying it already has. МандичкаYO 😜 04:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notes[edit]
  1. ^ While this does not explicitly mention that it is an ideology or involves the use of science, it does not suggest otherwise, and the mention of the subject is so brief that such elaboration should not be expected.
  2. ^ I apologize for the size of this fragment, but this is all that Google Books would give me. If someone can give the whole sentence (perhaps you, Hithladaeus), at least, then I would appreciate it if they could complete this quote.

Chretien was a minor (Green Party) candidate for United States Senate in California at the time of previous AFD (closed as no consensus). The argument for deletion was that he was non-notable and lacking reliable secondary sources. The argument for keeping was that he was an active candidate. 10 years on, there is no claim to notability. He is a failed candidate for political office and a political activist of no apparent or sourceable notability. Searching on his name produces stories in Socialist Worker, a fringe publication put out by the International Socialist Organization with which he is affiliated, so it is not an independent source. He has been mentioned in other fringe outlets, for example, in Indymedia, here:[26] where he is quoted ("said Todd Chretien of the International Socialist Organization.") He has written opinion articles for other fringe publication, including Counterpunch. Only RS on the page documents that he participated in a student strike at Columbia way back in his student days.

Most Myanmar clubs do not have their own websites. Even if they do, the pages are not updated for ages. Sources are often not reliable. Therefore, we can only bridge certain info given on the MFF website to Wikipedia. Magway FC website, you mentioned has no info about Kyaw Zin Lwin. Again, web pages for MNL clubs are just for the sake of its existence, not for info. Here in this MFF official page, he is mentioned (in Burmese) as a Magway FC player. This is as far as I can go. (unsigned comment by User:Thihazaw88
Doesn't look like there's been any update on the club website in 3 years. I've searched (for far too long) for match reports in the league, without much success; I found a few odd summaries but only mentioning some goal scorers; ironically the only full match squad I've come across if for a youth league game a couple of years ago when he was 20; one might assume he's been with the main squad - but nothing clear one way or the other. The only possible suggestion that he's anything more than the youth league, is his shirt number is 12 for the main squad - but I can't even find a source for that beyond what's listed at Magway F.C.. I wonder if there is anything in the media packages for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games (I haven't searched). Also, what were these AFC matches? I haven't pursued. Nfitz (talk) 16:06, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The AFC Cup and AFC Champions League are professional international competition, the former which often involves Burmese clubs. However if they did participate in such competitions thier stats would clearly show up on a website such as soccerway.com or nationalfootballteams.com. I did a quick search for both Kyaw Zin Lwin and Ye Ko Oo on both sites and only got a blank slate both times. It's looking less and less likely that these articles can pass WP:NFOOTY. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:17, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Less likely it will pass AFD, but a youth player 3 years until 22, a low shirt number, and featuring in a national U23 tourament (I assume the current SEA games are U23)? That smells of first team. If we could find match linesups, and he just didn't show, then he wouldn't meet WP:NFOOTY; but with not finding them at all ... my suspicion is that he likely does have first team appearances ... but suspicions count for squat here.

Non-notable college hockey player. Fails WP:GNG - only sources in article are routine, primary or republication of press releases. I'm not seeing substantive coverage from a search of various news sources. Article was clearly re-created exclusively using an awards list. And while creator will likely argue that the NCHC first conference team meets WP:NHOCKEY point 4, that does not remove the burden to demonstrate that the player has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, independent, reliable sources. In fact, going through other recent page creations from the same list, it is becoming clear that simply being on an all-conference team does not result in such coverage.

Too soon. Principal photography has not yet begun (despite these [37][38] unsupported assertions from the article's creator.) The film was just announced yesterday and this reference in the article implies that filming will begin in September. This reference from yesterday suggests that the director hasn't even approached actors about the job yet, and says explicitly that filming will begin in September. WP:NFF is the prevailing guideline and based on that, it is at least 3 months premature for this article to exist. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: See my comments in (brackets) regarding the introduction of the article.

Dr. (not a doctor) Jason Betts is a psychic (no comment) and IQ test author (nothing notable) from Tasmania, Australia. He is the founder and editor of the World Genius Directory, a voluntary directory of geniuses from around the world listed by IQ (not a notable website, but a personal one).[6] He has won numerous awards as a psychic (??????) and also appeared on Season 1 of The One[7] with Andrew Daddo and ABC's Unbelievable.[8] (guest, and extra? Not really notable.) He was recently referred to by Today Tonight as "Australia's Top Psychic."[5] (not an award) He is the Abbot for the Order of the Mystic Rose[2] (?????) and a member of both Mensa International,[3] the Triple Nine Society[1] and the Prometheus Society.[4] (IQ society memberships does not make one notable).

WP:ANYBIO It reads like a article created by the person the article is on, mentioning any detail that could possibly be a claim to fame, often linking to his own youtube videos. Autumnox (talk) 10:20, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article deleted after an AfD last year. Recreated now with 1 additional source (a brief article in the San Marcos Daily Record). Keep arguments on article talk page are based on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:NOTINHERITED. Still does not meet WP:GNG. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 07:45, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Please review WP:NPA, thanks. As for the argument that there are other pages that are equally bad, please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Perhaps the publication has grown since the creation of that vastly premature article of last year, but that is not reflected in the title. If you want to argue that this is notable, you need independent reliable sources about the magazine. As for the fact that "deletion was denied less than 24 hours prior", that was a G5 request and the admin handling that request judged that the new article was too different from the previous one for G5 to apply, hence this AfD. Hope this explains. --Randykitty (talk) 14:08, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • How is an independent news article not reliable enough? If Wikipedia is to have these policies they should be applied evenly. You still have not explained how this publication is any less notable than others created in 2014. Zarbe2015 (talk) 14:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nobody says it's not reliable enough (although one may have some doubts for such a local paper). It just is not the in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources that WP:GNG requires. As for the other articles, WP has now almost 5 million articles. If you think those are all high-quality articles, you're dreaming. If you think that I can keep an eye on all of those, you're dreaming even more. Read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, it explains very clearly why the argument that similar articles exist doesn't apply. If it would apply, then we would have no inclusion criteria at all any more. Feel free to propose those other pages for deletion, too, if they irritate you so much. In short, we don't need to demonstrate here that this magazine is "less notable than others created in 2014". What needs to be demonstrated is that this magazine is notable, regardless of any others. --Randykitty (talk) 15:04, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The newspaper article says that the site has "spread like wildfire" but the Alexa stats don't support that - the site is somewhere in the 22 millionth level of web sites. By comparison, my modest personal site is in the 1.5 millionth, and the Iowa City Public Library is 300K. This dampens a bit the reliability of the newspaper article, which shows great enthusiasm for a local project, but may be biased. LaMona (talk) 16:11, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.
"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.[1]
"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
"Sources"[2] should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.[3] Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability."Zarbe2015 (talk) 20:23, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of images in Gray's Anatomy: I. Embryology[edit]

Also proposing:

Many of these galleries were created in 2006 when a large amount of content was taken from Gray's Anatomy 20th edition (1918) and put onto Wikipedia, a process that greatly expanded our anatomical content. They are duplicated in greater detail by the much more expansive commons category: commons:Category:Gray's Anatomy plates

However, Wikipedia has now expanded beyond the point where these galleries are useful to readers. Readers would be better served by going to commons where there are a wider variety of images from more sources of more structures and many in higher quality. I think the reason that these were created in general was to help create articles and because commons did not have the widely accepted function in 2006 that it does not. Now that articles have been expanded I think these have fulfilled their purpose. We do not have "List of images in [source]" for any other groups of articles I can think of. As Wikipedia is not a gallery (WP:NOTGALLERY) and in view of what I've said, I'm proposing deletion.

This article concerns Section 53A of India's law on criminal procedure, which specifies the power to perform a medical exmaination on a person accused of rape. Currently, this article merely provides the text of the section in question. A merger of the section into Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 has been proposed since October 2014, soon after the article was created. But I cannot see anything worthy of being merged.
I have done web searches for news or academic discussion of the section. This article explains that it was introduced in 2005 and gives a one-paragraph explanation as to why. There are some other references which paraphrase the powers that the section provides, such as 1, 2, 3 and 4. There are also quite a few websites which reproduce the text, but I could not find anything beyond that. WP:STATUTE says that a piece of legislation is notable, but I do not think that automatically extends to each section of a piece of legislation. I do not belive my reasearch above satisfies the "significant coverage" requirement of WP:GNG, so I am bringing this AFD nomination. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CRYSTAL, WP:FUTURE, WP:ADVERT, WP:GNG or at best WP:NTEMP. This is an article about a now-six-year-old piece of "vaporware", that is, it's a promotional article for a video game that was never actually made. It was arguably not notable to begin with, and if it ever was, the notability was temporal and confined to 2009. The latest "no consensus" vote on a nominated deletion was in 2011, and at that point, the article was already a two-year-old WP:ADVERT for a game that showed no signs of arriving. It's now four years later, the game still doesn't exist, and so, it's time to delete this article until if/when the article's subject actually, you know, exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ComicsAreJustAllRight (talkcontribs) 09:38, 30 May 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I see your point, but the nature of this seems like it would suggest at least a weak correspondence. I think you could find many good candidates for deletion on general notability grounds by trawling articles about promised video games that never arrived.

How does being the featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national TV network not satisfy "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network."? How does the significant coverage about them in four independent reliable sources not satisfy GNG ("If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list")?

Do you have a reference to support the appearance? It's not listed at http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=70600, but the coverage from 2004 is spotty. IMDB seems more complete:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103396/episodes?year=2004 and it's not there. Between those sources we have
President Bush, Feb. 8, 2004
Power of Faith, Feb. 27 , 2004
Alex Rodriguez and conditions at fast-food restaurants. Feb. 29, 2004
You can see from the Feb 29 show, that there are more than one segment per episode. Just to clarify, was it the full programme or just a segment on Dateline? Did the spot garner additional press? Where's that coverage? To answer your question, it satisfies WP:BAND #12, but not GNG, and meeting any criteria simply presumes notability, it's not a guarantee that a subject is notable.

Does not meet WP:GNG: a completely ordinary multistory condo in Singapore with very routine real estate listings, was cited once in Straits Times (reprinted elsewhere) as an example of local market rents, won an obscure local award. Article has no reason to exist other than promotion.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they were created at the same time by the same self-declared COI editor (who probably "forgot" to declare COI here "probably in a hurry"), and have exactly the same sourcing problems:

  • Trevor Bolliger, the policy for notability for books can be found at WP:NBOOK. In a nutshell the policy boils down to whether or not the books have received coverage in independent and reliable sources. Blogs, Goodreads, and other self-published sources cannot be used for notability because they undergo little to no editorial oversight, especially sites like Goodreads. Just about every guideline on NBOOK requires some sort of coverage to back them up. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:56, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't appear to meet WP:PROF or WP:BASIC. All but one of the sources cited are written by the subject and a search for other sources produced nothing. Google scholar suggests that the subject has not been widely cited. The only potential notability would be due to PROF #8 as he is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business but again, based on a search the journal doesn't appear to be particularly important. (The editor has declared a COI). SmartSE (talk) 20:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The topic meets at least 5 criteria of WP:ACADEMIC (probably more), and I do not know you think otherwise. Søilen is a respected expert in his filed with dozens of papers written that were published in notable magazines. As you said, he is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business, which is an additional proof of notability. --BiH (talk) 06:57, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Which parts of ACADEMIC? A "respected expert" according to who? Unless JISIB is shown to be a "major well-established academic journal" then him being the editor is moot. SmartSE (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Parts 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9.. JISIB seems notable to be according to this and this as it is included in journal databases and has continuity since 2011. Moreover, its publisher is Halmstad University, Sweden. --BiH (talk) 15:17, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Add: Even Google Scholar says on its web: "A caution about Google Scholar: Google Scholar works well for fields where all (or nearly all) respected venues have an online presence. Most papers written by a computer scientist will show up, but for less technologically up-to-date fields, it is dicey. For non-scientific subjects, it is especially dicey." so notability can't be assessed only with Google Scholar. As I said, JISIB is an open source journal. The journal is already cited by SCOPUS even though it is not more than 3 years old (found an evidence here). The argument that it is not well known should not be used as no new journals are well known. Their development and usage should be taken into the account as well. --BiH (talk) 04:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The basic criterion for WP:PROF is to be recognized as an authority in one's field--the other parts of the guideline are just shortcuts. The normal way to show recognition as an expert is by a person's professional publications: He works in a field where bother books and journals are significant, so I will analyze both. Despite the impressive appearance of the bibliography, , he is the author of no academic research level books by a major publisher whatsoever. The only internationally known publisher here is Springer, and his book with them is not an academic book: Exhibit marketing and trade show intelligence : successful boothmanship and booth design Springer, 2013. (in 273 worldcat libraries) The publisher "Studentlitteratur" is a Swedish publisher of academic theses--it is still the custom in Sweden and several other countries that academic theses must be actually published, and the candidate pay for that himself--their publications are best regarded as self-published. Wirtschaftswissenshaftlichen Fakultät Universität Leipzig, Germany is another publisher of theses, this time in German. Ventus is a textbook publishers. Copenhagen Business School press is a very minor university publisher. The purported other books are not even books, but just chapters in books. In the hierarchy of academic publishing they not only dod not count as books, but rank considerably below journal articles, as they are rarely actually peer-reviewed. As for the journal articles, none of them is published in a first rate journal. Journal impact factors are a very rough way to evaluate journals, but they can yield some information; the best of the journals, Journal of Business Research is only 107th of the 239 business journals listed in Web of Science. Journal articles can be characterized in Google Scholar--again this is only approximate, and it under-rates non US/UK publications, and also under-rates fields where publication is in books. Nonetheless, the highest cited articles there has been cited 8 times only, which would normally be considered insignificant in any subject.
The key possibility here is one of the auxiliary criteria: being editor in chief of a major journal Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business is listed in Scopus, but no other selective index. It was started only in 2011. It might just count as borderline notable here, but in no sense is it a major journal. It does not seem to be the major journal in its niche; rather, that is Competitive intelligence review which has been published since 1990 by a major publisher (Wiley). consideration as the major journal in its niche. To be editor of the major journal is a small speciality is probably notability. None of the other qualifications in WP:PROF are even approximately met. DGG ( talk ) 07:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Studentlitteratur is not primarily a publisher of theses (not sure they publish any theses at all, but it's possible) but of textbooks, and I see no reason to see these as "self-published". (There is no reason to regard Swedish doctoral theses as self-published either in any way that would make sense to most English-speaking wikipedians, but that issue is probably best saved for another discussion.) --Hegvald (talk) 18:18, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @DGG: Thank you for taking a look. I'm a bit confused by your reasoning though as you seem to be saying that there is little evidence that they are important, but because they are a professor, the article should be kept. Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#General_notes is very relevant in this discussion since there are zero independent sources discussing the subject and therefore we shouldn't have an article per BLP. Essentially, the only reason they could be notable is that they started a journal 4 years ago, which any academic could do, and for which we have no sources to demonstrate that it is an important journal. As it stands the article is basically a resume and since there are no sources, if it was made BLP-compliant, there would be nothing left! SmartSE (talk) 20:10, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
any academic can start an OA journal ; relatively few would be able to maintain it for 4 years, because unless people respect the ed in chief and thing the venue worthwhile, they won;t sent in articles to publish. He's at the low end of notability by the basic WP:PROf criterion being an authority in his subject, but he's arguabley within it. When we have general practices, we should decide specific borderline situation in to maintain them, if only to avoid confusion/. DGG ( talk ) 22:14, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be your own interpretation rather than anything based in policies or sources. I don't think that we should keep BLPs where there are zero sources to write a biography and I thought that this was a reasonably established community norm. I'm still waiting to see even a single secondary source differentiating him from all the other academics in the world. SmartSE (talk) 19:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: JISIB is indexed by SCOPUS, one of two best magazine indexes, so the fact that is "too new" does not apply here. About the list of Swedish economists, it is obvious that you need to register first for this site (and obviosly most or some do not) to be included. It clearly says at the top: "They are based on data about authors who have registered with the RePEc Author Service".. DGG really explained the situation batter than anyone else, I do not understand these reactions and comments. --BiH (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let's look more closely at that top-25% listing, by comparing it with another measure of impact, Google scholar citations. Søilen's top citation counts in Google scholar are 20,17,8,6,4,3,... In comparison, the lowest-ranked of the RePEc-listed Swedish economists (at number 168, just barely making the top 25%) is Roger Svensson, whose citation counts (skipping a couple of papers that are obviously by a different Roger Svensson) are 214,168,74,48,... So regardless of whether Søilen is listed or not, it's obvious that he's not close to the bar for WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:27, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, comparing Søilen with other scientist will not prove much especially since they are obviously in different fields. WP:NACADEMICS should be considered above all. Considering #8, as I stated above "JISIB seems notable to be according to this and this as it is included in journal databases and has continuity since 2011. Moreover, its publisher is Halmstad University, Sweden". The subject also meets several other criteria mentioned in WP:NACADEMICS. --BiH (talk) 07:20, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No notability. VagaboundWind (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Procedural comments:- I think is odd and bizarre for the nominator to simultaneously nominates article for deletion per WP:CSD#A7 and through WP:AfD. I remind the nominator that A7 does not applies to articles with claim of significance even if the claim is unsupported by reliable sources. Thanks! Wikigyt@lk to M£ 20:03, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : I personally know him he was our principal in my college and my uncles Basketball playmate. I know him very well, and i wonder why he has a biographical article in Wikipedia, yes his name was in the newses some times, it's because he is the principal of one of the India's historical and 3rd biggest college in South India, which got many countless acheivements and recognitions and what not. So every news reports about the college got a mention for principal (you can check that). Is this made him a wikipedia article?. Someone fooled someone.

idiot cruft out of India? That's definitely not showing a bias in any way. Lame. What kind of research did you do into this topic to see if it's notable? Sounds like not very much, since you think it involves only one university. МандичкаYO 😜 14:45, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The opening line "OASIS is a cultural festival conducted annually by the students of Birla Institute of Technology and Science..." is fairly self-explanatory to native English speakers; that those from other colleges also attend is irrelevant. Expand the parent article, there is no justification for a standalone. "Idiot cruft" isn't solely an Indian thing, there's plenty of American-centric junk like Aggie Bonfire leadership that needs pruning, but this is a good place to start. Tarc (talk) 15:18, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How is it irrelevant that other colleges attend, Tarc? That's the whole point. They are attending because they are interested. By your logic, if Florida State football hosted and played in the national championships game, the other team wouldn't give two shits about the event. That they even attend is irrelevant. МандичкаYO 😜 16:38, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Apples and oranges, as the BCS, or whatever they call it at present, is a collective entity. This is an event organized by a single institution, that attendees fro mother institution attend. It is not notable apart from the parent. Tarc (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This list has a set of telecom companies which are not based in Shimoga. If needed to be kept, the list should be more apt if it would have been List of telecom companies operating in Karnataka. Because telecom companies operate in a circle (Here Karnataka Circle to be precise) rather than in a particular city/town. Lakun.patra (talk) 10:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
