This article does not seem to have any reliable secondary sources to support its notability. Its only sources, before I removed them, were to a phishing site. A few reliable sources mention this organization in passing, but this is mainly set up like an advertisement for the organization. epic genius (talk) 17:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained removal of PROD tag. Does not meet WP:NORG - "A company, corporation, organisation, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organisation". Delete AusLondonder (talk) 22:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A small number of mentions does not make for notability. Where is the significant coverage? AusLondonder (talk) 23:12, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Usually when The New York Times covers an organization multiple times, it is considered significant coverage by a major reliable source. If you wish to demur that the NYT meets WP:RS I suggest you ask at WP:RS/N. Collect (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Talking about the template, I'm still waiting for the SPAs and the external website referrals. Not to mention the brand-new accounts who need guidance how to sign their posts. Dr. K. 01:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In any recent AFD I have participated in I have not seen such interest. Let's not pretend this is not related to Eric Corbett. User:Dr.K. the template is not just about external referrals and sock puppets and it is plainly dishonest to suggest it is. AusLondonder (talk) 01:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But that's exactly what your template says. You mean you were not honest when you added it to this AfD? Sorry to hear that. I took you at your word. Dr. K. 01:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Right, so you literally cannot read? Or do you just enjoy making people explain things to you? Perhaps explains why you support keeping this article. However, the template says "If you came here because someone asked you to...please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes. They are the points I emphasise. AusLondonder (talk) 01:48, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No need to become so belligerent. These things you bolded do not apply to me in any way, shape or form. Neither does the other nonsense about external websites or newbie SPAs. What applies here however is your WP:SNOW AfD recklessness which is exacerbated by your refusal to understand how badly wrong you were and to withdraw this spurious AfD. Further, you post this notice on one of the most watched user talk pages on Wikipedia and then you try to play ignorant why people come in droves to support this SNOW-keep article? Please find something more constructive to do here than attack editors trying to save this worthy article. Unlike your attacks against me, I assume you can read. Have you read what I wrote about Google Books searches? Why don't you try and do a GBooks search and see page after page of RS coverage? Did you read what I wrote in my keep !vote? Dr. K. 01:57, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You became belligerent first, writing sarcastically "You mean you were not honest when you added it to this AfD? Sorry to hear that. I took you at your word". I am not referring to sockpuppets, as I've already said. I have acted in good faith. No requirement exists to notify creators about AFD's. I did despite knowing Corbett's talkpage is highly watched (and he has quite a few strong supporters) AusLondonder (talk) 02:20, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Too bad if you thought my reply was "belligerent". It was a measured response to your crass insinuation: Let's not pretend this is not related to Eric Corbett. User:Dr.K. the template is not just about external referrals and sock puppets and it is plainly dishonest to suggest it is.. As far as Eric, please stop the ad-hominem, ad-Eric arguments. Please get used to it: This article easily passes GNG. Please do a GBooks search. And stop badgering the editors who !vote keep. It is the duty of each and every Wikipedian to support notable articles. Dr. K. 02:29, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Too bad if you thought my reply was "belligerent". I know you are keen to defend Eric "please stop the...ad-Eric arguments" but I didn't nominate if because of him. What you call badgering other editors call deletion discussions. Since you take your "duty" so seriously, how often do you participate in deletion discussions? AusLondonder (talk) 02:38, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know you are keen to defend Eric Can you provide a diff to support this nonsense? I'll take care of your other nonsense when you address this point first. Dr. K. 02:42, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Diff AusLondonder (talk) 02:56, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So you think that when I said: As far as Eric, please stop the ad-hominem, ad-Eric arguments. Please get used to it: This article easily passes GNG. it was because I was keen to defend Eric. This is a gross misrepresentation. I responded this way because you continuously allege that editors came here because they are friends of Eric. Not because I am keen to defend Eric.. I quote your words from above: The Corbett Defence League is out in force again. Do you fail to see this is an ad-hominem, ad-Eric argument? Are you in denial or have you just forgotten?

Thank you for proving my point, that Corbett has plenty of defenders and friends on this site. How he has got away with his battleground behaviour for so long is patently clear from this AFD. I was acting in good faith. AusLondonder (talk) 05:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All that’s been proved here is that six experienced editors (six — The Corbett Defense League out in force? Really?) see no merit in your nomination; rather, they have seen right through it. Here are two sentences you put together elsewhere (I mean, not on such as WO but here on WP) about a user other than EC; with two words changed, they aptly frame my view of what you’ve been up to here: I think you acted in bad faith and showed a serious lack of competence. I view it as worse coming from an experienced editor. Writegeist (talk) 06:37, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I was by now expecting the first waves of SPA accounts, newbies with no signing skills, and those referred to this AfD by external websites.

Purely promotional bio lacking evidence of notability. Some particularly awkward features are the mention that the subject has been awarded the "Nobel prize for best soundtrack" (!) and the "fake" sources removed here. (They are not sources, but simply links to the homepages of institutions Lo Russo is claimed to have attended.) The article was blp-prodded for having no sources a few hours after creation in August 2014. The creator then added a bunch of sources, none of them what I would call reliable nor secondary, and removed the prod. A sadly unattended AfD was filed by Piotrus a couple of days later, with no community input whatsoever, so it was closed as "no consensus". Of the four sources remaining today, three are from www.marcolorusso.com. Note also that the article has been deleted ten times on Italian wikipedia, for promotion, copyvio, recreation after being deleted per community discussion, etc.[5] Ten times. When I saw that, I was tempted to speedy this English version per IAR, but, well, since it was once prodded, I suppose not. I hope it won't fall through the cracks for lack of interest again. Please discuss. Bishonen | talk 19:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC). Bishonen | talk 19:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me this needs further investigation, preferably by someone who reads Italian. On the face of it, the page has a lot of claims with no good quality references to prove them. But.. if all of these claims stand up, I think it is fair to describe the subject as being notable. The puzzling part is that some of these seem to me to be things that one would expect to find a mention of in a secondary source, so rather than having the page deleted multiple times on it.wiki, I wonder why the previous editors (both here and at it.wiki) did not work on improving at least some of the references for the claims.
I speak no Italian, however it does appear that versions of these achievements are recorded in various places (such as festival blubs) like here. I have no idea whether the artist has submitted this themselves or whether any checks are made, but it does make me wonder whether there are actually some decent references out there.
It seems to me that he has not written/edited the interviews himself and they appear genuine, hence they meet the criteria for sections 1 and 4 of WP:MUSICBIO. If refs could be found for the claims, the page also would appear to have grounds for sections 6, 9 and 10 of WP:MUSICBIO.
As it stands, it seems to me to be basically impossible to tell whether this is accurate information but poorly referenced or simply delusional self-promotion. JMWt (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Very aware. Also aware that non-English references can be used which is why I pinged the project. Can you tell me which of the references from the Arabic version are considered reliable sources; or, which ones amount to significant coverage? To me they all show he exists, but do not amount to anything more than IMDb type references. Notability still requires significant coverage in reliable sources. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 3/4, 5 and 6 seems like WP:RS to me. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And the depth? The one doesn't even mention his name, just has a picture. How does this suffice? These in no way meet any type of significant coverage, even if we can assume the source are reliable. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, if you're referring to 3/4, the one with the big picture, it does mention him by name, rather prominently, both in the headline and body copy. It doesn't auto translate, for some reason, on my browser -- but I pasted the link into Google Translate. Again, I think the coverage is sufficient. We both understand we're dealing with Arabic media where finding refs is tricky for us. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:02, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have to respectfully disagree. If those references were in English reliable sources they would not even be close to establishing notability based on their depth. Like you say, it may "mention," but mentions are not enough to establish notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, okay, but one of them is the equivalent of a full page article on him. We'll see. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, again let's assume. All sources will be assumed reliable and "one" will be assumed to be in depth. That gives us "one" which still does not meet the requirements of WP:GNG. And, that's still under the assumption that the sources are reliable and the one can be considered in depth. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:44, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Anmar. I can only speak for me, but additional references is something I would like to see. You state to keep the article, but since AfD is note a !vote count, can you provide your rationale for keeping the article? --CNMall41 (talk) 18:17, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is large copy-and-pasted from the company's own website, and it basically reads like an advertisement. It does not appear to establish why the company is notable. A look at the edit history indicates that it may have been largely created by someone with a connection to the company's CEO.

The verse of evil eye (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:N, WP:V and possibly WP:RS. I've tried to search the following terms on Google: "verse of evil eye", "verse of the evil eye", "ayah of evil eye", "ayah of the evil eye", "ayat of evil eye", "ayat of the evil eye" and even in Indonesian (language of the largest Muslim population) "ayat mata jahat", "ayah mata jahat". Disregarding Wikipedia-sourced websites, none of them gave ANY hit, except 1 doubtful and minor mention for "ayah of the evil eye". The Arabic term given in the article in no way means Verse of the evil eye, but more like Verse "And indeed, those", originating from the first few words of verse 68:52. This may be further evidence that we are dealing with OR or maybe even a hoax. The present sources are either references to the Qur'an or seem to merely support the evil eye in general rather than a verse. HyperGaruda (talk) 13:56, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I've been googling around and found some bits and pieces indicating that verses 68:51-52 are indeed sometimes used to ward off the evil eye. The most reliable source implying this, is a mention in the Encyclopaedia Iranica: The image of ʿAlī and Ḏu’l-Faqār was popular on amulets accompanied by the koranic verses used against the evil eye (68:51-52; Donaldson, pp. 130-31, 240).

HOWEVER, there is still not a single source that actually gives a name to these two verses. While verse 2:255 is known widely as the Verse of the Throne, I haven't been able to find a similarly widespread name for 68:51-52. Also taking into account that the current article only includes a quote from the Qur'an and some general information about the evil eye, I now think it is better to merge the useful bits of this article into Evil eye#In Islam. - HyperGaruda (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HyperGarudaPlease see four sources that I mentioned above.Saff V. (talk) 07:45, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Saff V., I don't really understand what you are trying to say with these sources. None of them tell that 68:51-52 is "The verse of evil eye", but only that this verse is evidence for the existence of the evil eye. However, verse 12:67 has also been mentioned as evidence for the existence of the evil eye. Should 12:67 also be named "The verse of evil eye"? Additionally, 68:51-52 is interpreted as disbelievers accusing Muhammad of being a madman, an accusation which is "but a reminder to all the creatures". Perhaps we should use "The verse of the madman" or "The verse of accusing Muhammad" or "The verse of the reminder"? What I'm trying to say is that you cannot just invent names for verses without sources to back up said name. - HyperGaruda (talk) 14:17, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uhm, no... I'm just trying to uphold Wikipedia's no original research and notability standards. - HyperGaruda (talk) 14:51, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to me that's best discussed by whichever wikiproject is looking after these kinds of pages, but you are in effect arguing that this (essentially equivalent) page should rather be part of this one. To me that's a question to debate amongst the people writing the page and not one to be discussed here - the question for us here is about notability, and I think it is pretty clear even within what you've written above that the page title is a reasonable name for the idea. JMWt (talk) 13:58, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that uncommon for deletion discussions to turn into merger discussions. It is even mentioned in Wikipedia's deletion manual, so there is no reason why deletion discussers should abstain from merger proposals. Besides, anyone has the right to be involved; remember the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit?
If we're going to draw equivalents, then I would say that the proposed move is more like moving "Spilling wine" to Spilling salt, since spilling wine is used to avert the bad luck associated with spilling salt. And no, the current page title does not conform to Wikipedia's naming conventions (Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject). The only unique statement in the current article, is its anti-evil eye effect; the rest of the article is, I repeat, either a quote from the Qur'an or stuff about the evil eye in general. That tiny bit of unique information does, again, not warrant an entire article of its own. - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Looks notable to me. His books are well represented on OCLC WorldCat [21]. Rmhermen (talk) 16:47, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well... the problem with this is that WorldCat holdings aren't really considered to be a sign of notability at this point in time. If an author has their books in 200+ libraries apiece (meaning each book is in 200+ libraries) then that can help bolster notability along with other sources, but so far this is considered to be more of an exclusionary tool than an inclusionary one. Basically, we would still need coverage in independent and reliable sources, as WC by itself is not enough to save an article. I've lobbied to have WC listings used as a sign of notability (if the author has 2+ books in 200+ libraries each) but so far there has been no consensus that it should be included. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a little nervous to do that since it isn't officially part of the guidelines at this point in time. I do like the idea of setting more precedent, but I want to make sure that there's some sourcing to ensure that it can't be brought back to AfD until this officially gets added. However I am finding some sourcing that shows that his work is frequently cited as authoritative in academic sourcing like this: [22], [23], [24]. One of his books has received a review from Famous Monsters of Filmland, but I'm having some trouble finding the review at this point in time. He's received coverage from Blastr too.

KeepComment - without wishing to venture an opinion on the notability of this article, Tokyogirl79 is surely right, we don't need to make exceptions: if someone is notable, there will be reliable sources. If those sources haven't caught up yet, then it is WP:TOOSOON and the article should be deleted or moved to user space to await better sources. Thus if a book has library holdings and is worth reviewing, reviews will arrive, and we should wait for those. Many rules are worth challenging; the notability rules are lax enough as they are. However, since Tokyogirl179 has found some sources, this probably just about scrapes over the (ridiculously low) notability bar. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as the person who wrote the page, I don't see that there is an issue with the primary source being an obit when it was published in a reliable source; this isn't uncommon here on Wikipedia.

@3family6: Comment; This entry should be kept, where it meets GNG for its reviews in Cross Rhythms, Indie Vision Music, AllMusic and 365 Days of Inspiring Media. The entry is about a BAND, where they have charted two albums on the United States' national music chart Billboard magazine. These are the "various ways" it meets our standards for inclusion.The Cross Bearer (talk) 04:38, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Either a copycat of Colectiv nightclub fire#Protests, or already copied and pasted there. Regardless, the protests could not be independently notable as it was reaction to one nightclub fire in Romania. I proposed deletion, but someone interfered with "PROD" tag, so I had to completely remove it as it looked already awkward. Now that the protests ended, having a stand-alone copycat seems pointless. George Ho (talk) 06:22, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But the political impact has widened; plus if we keep this article, we can reduce the scale of the protest section in the fire article, which is becoming unwieldy.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then that section of the article should be trimmed down. I agree it shouldn't be a duplicate, but the protests have the notability for a separate article. The fire, victims, international reaction and investigation info more than fill out the fire article. МандичкаYO 😜 07:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Strong disagreement between editors who believe that being the oldest person alive confers notability, and those who believe that coverage for that alone isn't enough. There's no clear policy or guideline basis for either position, so we fall back to ordinary WP:GNG; there is coverage cited, but disagreement about how substantial or relevant it is can't be solved by administrative fiat. So we have no consensus, and the article is kept by default.  Sandstein  19:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was already nominated for deletion and was endorsed. The article could use a clean-up since the last time I checked, but there is genuine information here, like the fact that FreeBSD is offered. The point of starting the article was to document resources this company offers. Compared to, say, random television shows, this company is doing quite a bit more for the world. I'm not even an active customer, but I gotta say, even as a public sector medical researcher, I find the hostility toward for-profit companies a little off-putting, especially when compared to the more obviously direct bio articles, for example, Survivin. Deleting this article does me as much disservice as deleting the article on cIAP2. I'm pretty sure more people think about DigitalOcean than about TAZ. Biotech involves bio, but it also involves tech. Where' the balance? Niels Olson (talk) 04:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It should stay, with lots of new refs added. "Borderline notability"? Did you even try searching Google News for DigitalOcean? It is the focus of at least 50 articles and mentioned in dozens more. Do your research before claiming a famous company is "borderline non-notable". Wonderfl (reply) 05:46, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the tech industry, funding events are a common trigger event for coverage of a company. The sources will often use the funding event as a hook for an article about the company. Most of the articles aren't simply about the funding, they include news about the company and its products. Sbwoodside (talk) 05:52, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Depth of coverage says:

    Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization.

    I agree that trivial mentions of a company's getting funded is routine business. But if sources provide "deep coverage" (which is the case here), then the company is considered notable under the "deep coverage" standard.

    And in this case, there are numerous sources about the company's history and products that are unrelated to the funding.

Edited this comment to state "Keep" in front of "Do not delete". I do not believe this misrepresents the original author in any possible way.2600:1003:B014:FA3C:E95D:4BDB:2031:7D90 (talk) 09:46, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This suggestion by Meatsgains violates Wikipedia's policy. Specifically: "Nomination already implies that the nominator recommends deletion (unless indicated otherwise), and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line."[1]. This suggestion should be deleted as Meatsgains is the one who originally proposed the page's deletion, yet proceeded to repeat the recommendation on a separate bulleted line.2600:1003:B014:FA3C:E95D:4BDB:2031:7D90 (talk) 09:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I PRODed the article because of its lack of notability. After IP 32.218.40.73 brought to my attention that the page had been proposed for deletion before, I decided to take it to AfD and the PROD tag was removed from the page. What's the issue? Meatsgains (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment as per my above statements, page is not a coatrack for a grade fraud scandal. If you review the history of the page, the grade fraud scandal was not in the original page text and is not a focal point of its notability. This suggestion is empirically disproven with even a minute or two of further research.23.25.190.65 (talk) 16:07, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please find reliable sources confirming the blog's notability without also covering the scandal. If the page's focus is not on the scandal, and it is notable for other reasons, then finding sources shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise its WP:COATRACK or WP:NOTNEWS. Meatsgains (talk) 16:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is addressed below. The grade fraud coverage is not the sole reason for its importance, but is one component that adds up to equal the totality of importance. Again, your WP:COATRACK suggestion is completely illogical as the basis for your claim--the grade fraud scandal--was not even in the original entry's page. At best this is a debate about notability and for local/legal journalism, this has significance. 23.25.190.65 (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter if the scandal was in the original page's entry. What matters is that currently, it makes up the body of the article and without it, the page would only have a lead. Meatsgains (talk) 17:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am just following the template of this talk page. Wikipedia is criticized for being insular and hostile to outsiders.[2] Why make things harder for people by adopting "community" (white, male community, I remind you [3]) norms? I would also add, "Not to make false accusations" followed by an accusation? You're intentionally ignoring my good faith response. [4] This is further evidence the page should remain in existence. 23.25.190.65 (talk) 16:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you were to follow the template on this page, you would have noticed that every editor supporting to keep the page votes "keep". But that's besides the point, I just said it looked suspicious and wasn't making an accusation. Your "good faith response" does not explain to users how or why the blog is an "important website in the legal and journalism communities." If you are so adamant about keeping the page, you'll need RS to back up your claims. Meatsgains (talk) 16:15, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You've ignored my point about why using "keep" is in line with democratizing knowledge, the entire point of Wikipedia and why I am adamantly opposed to deleting entries for websites that also did just that. More substantively, reposting from the BlueOx003 talk page: This was not a "Wordpress blog" by 2015 standards. The website was hosted via Wordpress, but it had its own dedicated domain. By 2015 standards, it would be considered a journalism website and in fact it was quite significant in the legal and journalism communities. The justification for deleting this page is inconsistent with Wikipedia's notability policy as it has been widely cited in national outlets like the U.S. News and World Report (already cited), ABA Law Journal (already cited), Wisconsin State Journal (already cited), Above the Law [5](which is not cited in the original Wikipage), FindLaw [6] (also not cited in the original page, but it exists), Instapundit [7] (which has its own Wikipedia page [8]) and that's just my quick research. I would further add that deleting this page is contrary to Wikipedia's interest in democratizing knowledge. Local journalism's significance is, by its very nature, harder to define in comparison to its national counterparts. By deleting significant "hyper-local" website entries, Wikipedia is further concentrating knowledge of American websites and journalism to a select, elite few. I strongly encourage editors to leave this page in existence. Thank you. 23.25.190.65 (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Its not a matter of "democratizing knowledge". We're trying to maintain consistency and continuity to help user navigate and read through pages for ease of reading. Meatsgains (talk) 16:28, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is "ongoing notability" the standard? The website's significance is mostly historical, but that's a byproduct of the changing models of local journalism. I say "changing" with some snark because local journalism is dying across the United States and is being replaced by digital outlets and communities[9]. This is what makes the original article's website significant. It was one of the first in an era where only large national publications were receiving attention online. "Ongoing notability" might be debatable, but it was a sufficiently notable website.BlueOx003 (talk) 18:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, OK, I can accept that some people think it is important for the reasons you give, but the refs on the page are not helping this cause. I guess what I was poorly expressing above was an outsiders attempt to see whether there was enough to see this news website as historically important and notable enough for inclusion rather than all of the other winners of the MPC 2007 prize (which is given as a ref). As others said, it seemed to have one important scoop - if you say that it had a further important cultural and historical role, I think you need better refs to show it. But I've changed my vote above on the basis that I could be wrong on this. JMWt (talk) 09:02, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, again only one significant event. Meatsgains (talk) 00:58, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
These flippant responses are not helpful. You've driven this quest to delete from the start and your position is clear. But a number of national news links have been cited on this page, beyond one (significant) scandal. Deleting this page privileges elite urban thinking that smaller, rural American areas are less significant--their journalism, people, controversies, public affairs. The world does not revolve around NY, Chicago, DC.BlueOx003 (talk) 03:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

here has been superb! We need this vital entry on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.112.199.82 (talk) 02:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A topic is presumed to merit an article if: 1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and 2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.[10]

The question we must ask is it this page meets the general notability guidelines or the criteria in subject-specific guidelines. I argue that this entry meets BOTH. However, for the sake of time and argument, I will address the more specific rule: “criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline[s],” and more specifically “Wikipedia:Notability (web)” rules. There is no debate that this entry meets the second standard and would not be excluded under “What Wikipedia is not,” so I will not address this in detail.

According to Wikipedia's Notability (web) page[11]:

Decisions based on verifiable evidence:
When evaluating the notability of web content, please consider whether it has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education.

This has been proven through the numerous links to Above the Law, Findlaw, ABA Law Journal, and U.S. News and World Report. The entry’s website played a significant role in the dissemination of higher education rankings and debates.

Strangely, one of the coatrack criticisms has been that this entry is used to discuss only a grade fraud scandal. That is not clearly not the case. It is one area in which this website found notoriety, yes, but it is not the only example.

Furthermore, Wikipedia clearly states that we should not err against smaller websites.[12]

However, smaller websites can also be notable. Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger websites.

It is unusual (and thus notable) for a local journalism website to receive consistent and wide-spread national news coverage for their work. This is even more notable because journalists have only recently become more accepting of citing smaller outlets, local journalists, and individual websites. This entry’s website was a pioneer of the local journalism/blogsophere during the end of the last decade.

Wikipedia states[13]: web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria:

• The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations

This has been established above. It was published in traditional press (Wisconsin State Journal, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), online press (Findlaw, Above the Law, Instapundit), and magazine press (U.S. News and World Report, ABA Law Journal).

• The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.[6]

This entry’s website was named the best website in the state of Wisconsin in 2007 (already cited on page) and was named a finalist in a national competition hosted by some of the most well-known journalists and online bloggers in the world[14]. I think under this element, the entry clearly merits being kept.

Finally, I am dismayed to see some of the above criticism of supporters being cast as an argument to ignore their position to keep the website. Wikipedia is clear that this should not be grounds for deletion as Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy[15]. Ignoring supporting posts because of formatting errors and use of synonyms for “Keep” runs contrary to Wikipedia’s stated policies. It is also unnecessarily legalistic, and in my view, suggests opponents to this entry page (one in particular) are using obfuscation tactics to further their original goal of deleting this important page.

Conclusion: This entry meets all of Wikipedia’s notability standards. This was a uniquely active local journalism website that achieved national attention for a variety of higher education-related stories. That alone is grounds for keeping the entry, according to Wikipedia policy. However, this entry meets even higher burdens of notability, as the website received national awards from well-known organizations and publications.

Finally, Wikipedia plainly states its goal of promoting the notoriety of smaller websites. This is one of those examples. Deleting this page violates that stated goal because it errs on the side of larger websites as being the only notable subjects on the Internet. By its very definition, this entry covers a local journalism website. It is understandable it may then create debate about notability. However, this website objectively meets Wikipedia’s standards, and subjectively, is one of only a few local journalism websites during its time period that made an impact on national conversations. Keep this entry.2600:1003:B014:FA3C:E95D:4BDB:2031:7D90 (talk) 09:34, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the the sudden influx of editors / IP addresses with few or no edits outside this topic: At Wikipedia we pride ourselves on our open invitation for anyone and everyone to participate. However Wikipedia discussions are not votes. We will carefully consider all of the evidence and arguments you have brought to the table, but we make our decisions on the basis of policy. Attempting to vote WP:ILIKEIT (I loved The Critical Badger and This is a great web page) carry no weight. Attempting to explain that Critical Badger was "important" is only slightly better, but will still fail unless you can show that independent reliable sources have published significant coverage of Critical Badger itself. Critical Badger doesn't need to be the central topic of that coverage, but we need sources with a significant number of sentences saying things about Critical Badger. I do appreciate the effort of 2600:1003:B014:FA3C:E95D:4BDB:2031:7D90 to apply policy, I merely ask him or her to identify two reliable sources that provide the most significant discussion of Critical Badger itself. Finally, I particularly chastise 23.25.190.65 for a grossly inappropriate and utterly random insinuation of racial/gender discrimination.[30] There is absolutely nothing about this article or this discussion to justify such a leap.
The sudden influx of IP's and other editors with few-or-no-edits-outside this topic strongly suggests someone has WP:CANVASSed this discussion somewhere off of Wikipedia, trying to bring in allies to stack the "vote". This is not a vote, and that sort of behavior can lead to sanctions. Alsee (talk) 11:51, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
According to Wikipedia's policy, an entry needs to meet EITHER the General Notability Guideline OR Subject-Specific Guidelines. The Subject-Specific Guideline for websites includes two considerations, one of which is "The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization." I think that has been fully established with links. So before getting a content analysis, it meets the website-specific guidelines for notability. As Wikipedia notes, "web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria." So only one criterion must be met. Thus, before going forward, this entry meets Wikipedia standards and should not be deleted, even if others have concerns about the sources covering the subject.
That said, it is inaccurate to write that there are "zero sources to support" coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The notability of the website is that it's actions created/sparked larger coverage of higher education and legal topics. Naturally that means sources will note X to report on Y. That *is* proof of notoriety. For example, the website broke stories about academic rankings. So when larger outlets like Above the Law cover it, they analyzed the Critical Badger coverage before moving on to their own interpretation. Wikipedia's policy is NOT that notable stories about sources must be full-length pieces about the source itself. That is NOT Wikipedia's stated policy. Deleting this entry because of the source coverage also violates Wikipedia's policy to err on the side of trying to protect smaller websites.
As for your other points, I don't have much to say. For the random IP address "I love it" comment, you also have established Wikipedia monikers violating Wikipedia policies, as addressed above (cannot propose deletion then put up a bullet calling upon others to delete). But this is beside the point. BlueOx003 (talk) 16:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide a list of sources confirming this blog's notability aside from their single "grade fraud" exposure. The only sources I am seeing are, as Alsee pointed out, just a brief mention. Meatsgains (talk) 23:46, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This has been listed, numerous times, but I will repeat myself (and repeating others who have posted) in response to your concern.
First, we have the grade fraud scandal. That is accepted. Moving on.
Second, the national recognition for quality of reporting and research. The Milwaukee Press Club is objectively one of the most respected press clubs in America and has been around since 1885[16]. Other national awards/recognition include being named among one of the nation's best alternative media outlets in the U.S. News and World Report[17] and recognition from a large, national organization, reported by one of the most famous websites in the blogosphere[18]. As previously stated, according to Wikipedia's notability policy on websites, this qualifies on face as "notable" and no further analysis of notoriety should be necessary. However, for the sake of argument, I will continue.
Third, we have established one major newsworthy event and several national recognitions. But the higher education rankings stories are clearly misunderstood by some posting on this page. This was a "hyper-local" website, making it remarkable that it could influence national news stories about higher education topics. When one suggests these were "passing references" they miss the point. The action is that this website found ways to create a national debate about higher education rankings and frequently "broke" news stories about their release in advance of what national news publications (like the U.S. News and World Report) wanted. Some proof, which you requested, includes the Above the Law and FindLaw articles, both of which have been linked to already and are easily accessible. Suggesting these are just passing references indicates the Wikipedia editors misunderstand how alternative media outlets and local journalism work and the important part of this Wikipedia entry. It is almost unheard of for small, local journalist websites to move national conversations, so the fact they were happening is itself a major form of notoriety.
So we have a website that had national recognition for the quality and substance of its content. This included years of reporting on higher education topics, especially college rankings, on top of a grade fraud scandal. This meets, and exceeds, Wikipedia's standards for website notoriety.
This is further met because of Wikipedia's stated policy of seeking to recognize smaller websites (stated above). To delete this entry runs completely contrary to the Wikipedia goal, and in my view, further privileges large, national websites, at the expense of local journalists. That is why people like myself are so passionate about this issue and entry. Highlighting successful local journalism is critically important to the industry and for the promotion of free speech, democracy, and alternative media outlet reporting.BlueOx003 (talk) 00:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your in depth explanation and providing the sources I requested. It definitely helps. One thing to note, the FindLaw source you referenced is a blog not a RS. It looks like The Critical Badger blog gained notoriety for not one but two events: 1.) the grade fraud scandal and 2.) leaking the US News Law School Rankings. I do find it highly suspicious that once this AfD was submitted, we had 4 IPs vote the same day in favor of keeping the page. Meatsgains (talk) 17:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Concur, especially with this: "As has been repeatedly mentioned, if the editors are "undecided" about this page despite the clear evidence this is a notable entry, Wikipedia very plainly states its intention to give special consideration to small websites when evaluating notoriety. I know these are not "votes" with a winner/loser, but if editors need some kind of "tie breaker" to tip the scales, that should push the decision toward keeping this page."BlueOx003 (talk) 01:16, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable, part of an apparent promotional campaign for the company. Refs are the typical combination of articles about the company, and announcements. Whether the company itself is notable is a separate question. DGG ( talk ) 01:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable film director fails WP:BIO. The three references at the present time are:

  1. India Indian Country Today - passing mention that just says he's the director of the film in an article about the film that is mostly based off a press release
  2. Powwows - doesn't mention Johnson
  3. Change the Life Channel - unreliable blog whose only mention of Johnson is quoting the Indian Country Today article (see above)

I've conducted a search for reliable sources that discuss Johnson in-depth but I've come up with nothing. Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 19:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The page needs much editing, but it shouldn't be deleted. Luis Fernando Figari is a public figure of significance in the Catholic Church in Peru, and the allegations against him have been the subject of many news reports, books, and magazine articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.171.39.147 (talk) 18:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IT Tower

The subject of this article is an unbuilt building. The website for the tower, http://www.ittowerkarachi.com/ is no longer responsive. The Internet Archive shows that it became a placeholder / parked domain as early as 2011. [34] The Pakistani newspaper Dawn published a 427 word writeup about the proposed tower in 2006, but I am unable to find any additional coverage of this subject thereafter. To further complicate matters, there are also buildings proposed by the same/similar name in nearby localities, such as an IT Tower in Kerala. I do not believe that this particular proposed building has received significant enough coverage such that it meets our general notability guidelines, and thus am recommending it for deletion. If better sources are locating during the course of this discussion, please do not hesitate to leave me a note to that effect on my talk page.
