Delete I prodded this with the reason "Fails WP:ARTIST." I also suspect autobio or a least a close COI. I've looked again and stand by my prod. He's got a few works in a couple galleries: [1], [2], he did indeed curate an exhibition in 1986 with passing mentions in the New York Times and New York magazine: [3], [4], NYT, New York, and a bizarre passing mention in the National Enquirer [5]. Even with the things mentioned in the article (many of the links are currently broken), none of this adds up to meeting notability for a biography which needs multiple independent reliable third party sources.

Delete, with a caveat. I don't see and can't find the sourcing needed to make this pass WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE, and the fact that it looks like a class project doesn't automatically give it a free pass. Nonetheless, while my efforts to find WP:RS were fruitless, there is the off-chance that the collaborative effort of this class might find other sources, so I wouldn't object to seeing this moved to the Draft namespace for the time being. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:12, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a non-notable neologism. The book cited is a thesis, not a normal published book. I see occasional uses of the word "antivillain" but no literature about what it means. The search "antihero is" OR "anti-hero is" gets >9,000 hits in Google Books; the search "antivillain is" OR "anti-villain is" gets 33. Another article on the same topic (different content) was deleted in 2008 for essentially the same reason. This was recently discussed (but without discussion of possible sources) at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2015_October_17#Antivillain.

Redirect to Villain#Sympathetic villain. I commented on the source used here during the RfD. The reason why I said it's probably not reliable is because it's someone's M.A. thesis. WP:SCHOLARSHIP says: Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence. I originally advocated a redirect to antihero, but now I think maybe Villain#Sympathetic villain is a better choice. I think "antivillain" is mostly a TV Tropes neologism, and while I think it's a legitimate concept, reliable sources are lagging behind my trailblazing opinions. There are many sources for discussions of sympathetic villains, such as [7] (requires JSTOR subscription to read), but there just isn't enough for an article on antivillains. It does get used occasionally in reliable sources: this article from The Philadelphia Inquirer, this article from Philadelphia Weekly, and this article from Collider.com. However, this is not enough to pass WP:NEO. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a note about that JSTOR source I mentioned above: it's basically a passing mention about the use of sympathetic villains in popular culture. I forgot to say this. I brought it up as an example of how the underlying concept is discussed in academic papers, not as any kind of proof of notability of anything. I wanted to make that clear, since it's not freely accessible. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:39, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, obviously. This is a valid, significant joint program providing Ph.D. education in the Netherlands. Secondary schools world-wide are recogized as Wikipedia-notable. It was (and I presume is) an accredited program, per this accreditation re-application document, which provides much detail useful for developing the article. The accusation in the nomination, that this article is somehow a "coatrack" to support recognition of Nova Publishers as a top publisher, is not supported by the article, which does not mention Nova. To the nominator, could you please explain how you derived your opinion that way?

But I will surmise that somewhere else there is a battle about Nova Publishing, and the ranking here is cited as support for Nova being a good publisher. That would be perfectly valid support, although it is not relevant for evaluating the Wikipedia notability of this higher education program.

The current version of the article does have a relatively long passage about a quality rating system for evaluating academic book publishers which the school supports, which is probably intended for use in evaluating academics for hiring, tenure and promotion decisions in the multiple programs participating in SENSE. That is an entirely appropriate endeavor of a research school, to make such a list, but like other such rating systems used in evaluating publications of academics for tenure and promotion decisions, it is not the purpose of the school per se. By the way there is a quite large literature on Journal ranking and Impact factors and so on about academic journals; it is often relevant to say what any respected institution officially recognizes about journals and also about book publishers. This version of a rating system about academic books is perhaps more significant, as a joint, nation-wide consortium's opinion, than the published ratings of any one school. It would be okay for an article about any one of the higher ranked publishers to cite this SENSE rating as documentation that the consortium of Dutch environmental research departments rates the publisher highly.

However, that passage does not detract from the validity of this article article, which is pretty much a stub otherwise, but which is obviously valid as an article, being about a higher education entity. I look forward to the nominator explaining their view and I could change my opinion about the following. But as of now this AFD smacks of the same kind of nefarious thing that the nomination asserts about the article; it appears that the AFD is an attempt to influence something else somewhere else, and is not about the explicit topic. --do ncr am 01:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: this is not an ordinary secondary school as you think. Dutch "research schools" are more comparable to "graduate schools" in the US, for which we usually do not create articles separate from the particular institution to which the school belongs. The one thing particular to the Dutch system is that often several institutions collaborate in one of these grad schools. Also, these schools are not necessarily enduring: after some time has elapsed, it may be closed and replaced by another entity. This can be done easily, because in contrast to an ordinary school, this is not a physical entity (even though the institutions participating in it are physical entities themselves). Also note that, in contrast to what is suggested by the article, these schools are not consortia of whole universities. Rather, fromp each participating institution, just one or a few research groups/departments participate in such a "research school" (Dutch: "onderzoeksschool"). (BTW, I think that puts the book ranking issue in quite a different light, too). So I could see a separate article on the Dutch concept of "research school", but I don't think that we should create articles on each and every one of these "schools", just was we don't do this for grad schools in the US. Hope this doesn't sound too muddled... As for the Nova connection, Andyjsmith has removed the coatrack part, so I'll let that rest for the moment. As the article currently stands, there are hardly any sources, which is rather what I would expect, given the foregoing. --Randykitty (talk) 14:54, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you for explaining. I agree about this being a joint venture of departments, not whole universities, which could be clarified in the article. And I have heard that courses for European Ph.D. education programs are loosely cobbled together, in order to offer courses for students spanning across schools from different countries, because their schools are smaller than large U.S. universities which can offer multiple Ph.D. courses. So [at least in one case that I know about] students literally fly in from other countries to attend a class or a few days of classes, then return home, and come back again for the next class session. The Netherlands is a small area and I speculate that students could commute in easily from anywhere in the Netherlands to a Ph.D. course offered in Amsterdam. Perhaps an important difference for this one, vs. other Dutch or pan-European joint ventures, is that this program is formal and accredited. It was accredited for 1997-2001 initially, then reaccredited for 2002-2006, then applied for reaccreditation for another period from 2008 to 2012 or 2013, which it apparently received. This makes it a major formal endeavor and appears not temporary at all. And covering it does not fit within just one university's article like how U.S. Ph.D or masters programs can be covered. About number of sources, I don't perceive that there are a lot of sources used in covering any U.S. graduate program either, even for ones that in fact are of pretty major importance, we just don't cover them much AFAIK. (I don't think we have anything like "List of Ph.D. programs" or "List of environmental sciences graduate programs" type articles.) We often/usually do not create sections about graduate programs within university articles and thus they are not incubated and eventually split out to separate articles. Here, there is no one university article to serve as host for a section that could eventually be split out; it is proper to open it as a separate stub. --do ncr am 16:37, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All these programs have to be accredited, otherwise they cannot hand out PhD degrees. Each university will be part of several of these grad schools. Grad schools are hardly ever a section in university articles, at best they're just mentioned. There are some international programs, but they are few and usually located in border regions. I don't think any students fly in for a "few days". Some schools/universities/institutes organize a summer course which can be attended by students from all over Europe, but those are generally a couple of weeks, so flying in is economic (but that is not really relevant here). Schools like SENSE are temporary in the sense that their funding depends on performance (i.e., number of grad students trained successfully within a certain limited time period) and renewal of funding is anything but automatic. Should funding not be renewed, the school is not continued (I'm not using the word "closed" deliberately, as this is not a physical entity). There is something weird about the accrediting, but as they don't have a Dutch version of their website, I cannot see whether this is due to an incorrect translation or something else. ("Accrediting" is done at the institutional level and not by the KNAW but by the Education Ministry). --Randykitty (talk) 16:55, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - although there's nothing obvious about it and I note the somewhat checkered history of doncram's interventions. I've taken a knife to the article - one section is a probably copyvio and the other is incoherent, largely irrelevant and a clumsy coatrack attempt (both sections added by doncram, btw). If this material is restored my !vote changes to Delete. Have a nice day. Andyjsmith (talk) 10:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I think the school / joint program is a large-size Ph.D. program which is obviously to be kept as a Wikipedia topic, as it is much higher level and larger in scope than tiny, obscure high schools that we routinely cover.

Andysmith is incorrect in believing that I was the one who contributed the material about SENSE's rating scheme for academic book publishers, the material that the nominator finds controversial. I commented above about it but it was not mine. I tried to be clear before that it is not the purpose of a school to do rankings like that. It does somewhat appear from the sources that the publication of its ranking is unusual and useful, but the material is not about the school per se. And is best used somewhere else in articles about journal ranking and academic book ranking, and I do not object to it being removed from here. I do now see over at Talk:Nova Science Publishing that the SENSE ranking was indeed used (perhaps over-used) by one or more persons in arguing about the quality of that publisher. I agree with editor DGG there that "It is not a general rating scheme for publications, but a rating scheme for publications to the extent relevant to the Dutch Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment-- that is, in one particular (but fairly wide) subject area." Simply it is not very important, it is one school's ranking scheme devised for its own purposes which happens to be published and seized upon by others. It is fine for editors over there to argue about Nova; it is not relevant to this article about SENSE.

I restored two inline references that I had added but Andyjsmith removed. About one, yes the website is included as an external link but it was the specific source about the fact of accreditation so the inline reference is appropriate. About the second, apparently Andyjsmith did not see that the 600 phD student count was sourced from it.

Also I just restored, but moved and revised, a couple sentences based on the second source about use of Ph.D. students in a crowd-sourcing effort. It is factual and I find it interesting and I think it is unusual, worth mentioning. It could only happen because of the scale of the program, because most Ph.D. programs have only a handful of students. I believe that is one of two passages that Andyjsmith states is a "coatrack" and a deal-breaker for him somehow. I fail to see how addition of an interesting factoid like that makes someone think an article must be deleted, but a closer could choose to interpret Andyjsmith's view as a Delete vote per his instructions. It is not a "coatrack" about anything, anyhow...it does not support adding any material anywhere else in Wikipedia which is what a "coatrack" would do.

I also re-removed the "third-party" tag, as I do not see a single assertion in the article that is questionable [at least now after the ranking passage was removed], and it is fine to use an organization's website to support basics like whether the program is accredited or not. If someone else wants to argue that sources used are biased somehow and that an outside source is needed to support something, I won't remove it again without discussion on the Talk page, but I hope you will please explain which assertion you think needs more support. --do ncr am 15:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. per Randkitty and doncram, who explain it in detail. Its a European pattern to have these cooperative doctoral programs, especially in smaller countries, which can be very extensive and very important. I agree we should not automatically have every one of them as a matter of course, but this is an example of the ones we should definitely have. 6000 PhD students is a very major educational institution by any standards, there's no way of covering this otherwise, for there is no plausible merge or redirect. Their rating of book publishers was coatrack, and was properly removed--its inclusion was part of a campaign to justify a particular rather low quality publisher as being important by the very strained application of bibliometric data outside their area of validity, but it has been removed.

Sherry Wolf (activist)[edit]

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

Page about a political activist. Article was PRODded in 2013, objections were raised on talk page on the grounds that she is a well-known activist, but no actual evidence or sources supporting notability were given. Reliable sourcing consists of a single, 3-sentence article in the The Austin Chronicle, here: [8], it is effectively a caption for a videotape in which she introduces a fellow political activist. Page also has a link to a TV appearance as an activist in a political controversy, here: [9], she appears ~ 3 minutes in. She has also published 2 books with the small, political press, Haymarket Books, but the books do not seem to have gotten any attention (except in the non-notable partisan journal of which she was an editor. here:[10]). There is a list of articles she has published, but I cannot find evidence of notability independent of her own website, her own publications, and the publications of the very small Socialist faction in which she was (is?) active.

Strong Keep. While some of her views are controversial, Sherry Wolf is clearly notable, meeting criteria WP:BASIC. She has published articles in several leading left/progressive magazines, including the The Advocate (print circulation 175,000, online rank 1051 in US [11]), The Nation (print circulation 113,000, online rank 2731 in US [12]), and CounterPunch (online rank 9814 in US [13]). While these publications may not be famliar to everyone, those online numbers are in the neighborhood of e.g the Christian Science Monitor (1174), Scientific American (1546), the New England Journal of Medicine (4305), and BillOReilly.com (7988). The first book listed has not only been reviewed by the journal where she is an editor, but also for example here [14], here [15] here [16] and here [17]. The book has also attracted several reviews on Amazon and Google Books, and it has been cited multiple times in academic journals [18]. The second listed book is an edited volume where she has contributed a chapter, so that one does not count as much. In addition to her writing, she has had several in-depth interviews about her activism, such as here [19] here [20] here [21] and here [22]. A simple google search on her name or book title will generate many more secondary sources as evidence of her notability, not counting the hits generated by her handbag making namesake (Sherry Wolf (artist)).

While notability is a property of the subject and independent of the references provided in the article (WP:ARTN), it should be noted that User:E.M.Gregory, the proposer of this AfD, removed four informative references back in May, that linked to coverage of Ms. Wolf in secondary sources ( compare [23] and [24]). Hence, contrary to his/her statement above, he/she had clearly found "evidence of notability independent of her own website", but chose to remove them from the article. Martinogk (talk) 07:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Starting at the bottom, I went to look at what Martinogk calls "four informative references" [25] deleted from what was, a year ago, an extremely bloated article from which I and others removed a great deal of puffery. The 4 were, in order, a link to an article Wolf wrote for a webzine called "Gaper's Block", a link to article by Wolf in Socialist Worker, a link to her author's page in The Nation and a link to her book's page at her publisher's website. Problem, of course, is that these sources are not independent of Wolf; having articles/books published does not confer notability. Few working journalists are notable, and books confer notability only if the books attract attention in reliable, secondary sources.

Back to the top of Martinogk's argument. The fact that Wolf has written articles does not confer notability on Wikipedia. For a journalist to have a page, we need to find articles that are about her, not articles she wrote. (see WP:AUTHOR).

Which brings us to Martinogk's evidence of the attention garnered by her book, Sexuality and Socialism. Here we can hope find something pertinent. The question, of course, is are these sources independent of Wolf and are they significant publications. Link #9 is to an article by Wolf about her own book. Interestingly, "The Platypus Affiliated Society" (link #7) is the subject of a stale sandbox draft [26]; it seems to be part of the circle of small, Socialist organizations centered in Chicago of which Wolf is part. So it may not be independent, and it certainly was obscure. Link #8 is to a review in International Viewpoint, (someone should query whether that publication passes WP:GNG) But in source #10, a review in Monthly Review Martinogk finally brings a source that counts towards notability. Source #11 shows that Wolf's book is cited in discussions of social activism and sexuality.

Source #13 is part of the ISO, and, therefore not independent. Source #12 is an obscure publication. But I thank Martinogk for bringing sources # 14 and 15. While profile articles would be better, these are published Q & As with Wolf.

Summing up, I still have doubts about whether there is sufficient mention of her to pass WP:GNG, but sources #14, 15, and the book review at source #10 do offer support for an article.@PeterWesco:, @SisterTwister:, do you want to take another look at this?E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The book review speaks to the notability of the book, not the author. The VV piece is an interview, and therefore a primary source, and invalid for establishing notability, as is the Advocate piece. Searches did not turn up enough to show they pass WP:GNG, and the citation #'s for her work are very low. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:31, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While of course notable plays and actors receive the awards, the notability of the awards themselves is dubious (note that Broadway.com is a redirect to its parent company.) The winners are apparently cataloged in at least one exhaustive annual compendium: Theatre World: The Most Complete Record of the American Theatre (e.g. 2006-2007, 2008-2009), which in those two editions simply state: "The Broadway.com Audience Awards give real theatergoers a chance to honor their favorite Broadway and Off-Broadway shows and performers." followed by a list of winners. Seems to me like statistics that are verifiable but not necessarily notable, per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. Most news coverage I could find was from Broadway.com itself, and the unaffiliated sources seem to be brief mentions that award was given (e.g. "The production was honored with a 2010 Broadway.com Audience Award as well as a prestigious Drama Desk Award", and "starring Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winners..." but I haven't found evidence the award carries much prestige. I'd say notability is potentially there, but needs stronger demonstration (non-trivial coverage in reliable third-party sources.), otherwise a simple External link to http://awards.broadway.com (which lists all winners) may suffice. People at Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre might be able to give better perspective on the notability of these awards. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article subject meets WP:GNG by having significant coverage across numerous WP:RS References do include article subject. for example:

-http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/celebrities-line-up-stratford-film-3073017 "Festival director Rowan M Ashe said: “Stratford gave the world Shakespeare. His importance in the role of film as a medium of storytelling is unquestionably enormous." Please check the article and its references on your own. The nominator's statement, '"References" do not even mention article subject." is simply not true. Zpeopleheart (talk) 03:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how you can avoid the fact that the "references" are trivial. (e.g., lists, primary, or a single quote - the example you listed above) The references hardly support inclusion into Wikipedia. I'll concede only one reference lacks a mention of the subject. reddogsix (talk) 03:38, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The reference linked by Zpeopleheart is the only reference currently in the article that is reliable and independent, and it's a passing mention. All the other references are either primary sources or unreliable (IMDb), except the Birmingham Mail source which doesn't mention him. I can't find anything to indicate he meets WP:GNG.

Eli Northrup[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG and for too promotional, which raises some potential WP:COI concerns (e.g. "As a varsity athlete at Cornell, Northrup was able to maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA during the Fall 2005 semester", "became well known as a rapper", "that became a YouTube sensation", "it became a big story in the legal community") Plot Spoiler (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep the article clearly meets GNG for a figure in the legal/music community. mentions of Northrup on Above the Law at Above the Law (blog); America Lawyer Media article about him at ALM (company); ABA journal article at American Bar Association Journal; washington post article on RG3 and him; Article on music career; Another article on music career. USA Today on his music career at USA Today; Article from NYU law school; NYU Law Magazine spotlight on Northrup. It amuses me, when rather than make minor edits to an article, someone proposes it for deletion. I have corrected the weasel words that you pointed out. --JumpLike23 (talk) 23:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Above The Law and Careerist are blogs and do not qualify as WP:RS. The ABA link is just a re-posting of the material from Above The Law and Careerist. The Washington Post story does nothing to establish notability -- only that he is a big fan of RGIII. The Cornell University website and alumni website do not exactly qualify as independent, reliable media sources. Plot Spoiler (talk) 23:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note, however, that these are not personal blogs and thus they are reliable sources because these are professional journalists--per the guideline. The Cornell stories actually do establiish notability and are further supported by USA today and broadway world. The article is well-written and sourced. Not mention he clerked for the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit cf. List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States, and that he was a Prettyman fellow --JumpLike23 (talk) 23:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is no wonder to me why experts become frustrated with wikipedia, having written the majority of content on public defenders for wikipedia. Northrup is a notable defender.

I'm unable to find any sources providing anything close to the coverage required to meet WP:BIO. Several albums that he has worked on have won Grammys but from my reading of WP:NMUSIC this doesn't confer notability on the audio engineer. Searching for sources I came across this which I think mentions him in passing and sums things up quite nicely (my emphasis): "chances are you’ve never heard of ... Serban Ghenea ... Without engineers working in obscurity, an album like Bangerz wouldn’t be anywhere near the charts." He's worked on many notable works, but without any sources discussing how that was anything exceptional, I don't think the subject is notable. SmartSE (talk) 18:10, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extended comments

My view, as the editor who has had severe issues with this article over an extended period is: DELETE. Some of the projects/music he worked on may be notable, but I'm not entirely sure what he does in his capacity as a 'mixer' (it seems to me to be one of those vague industry terms that doesn't particularly describe the extent of the person's involvement). It raises concerns about where the line is drawn.....studio hands who predominantly make tea and get a thanks on the sleeve? My other concern is this person has personal control over their wiki page and are treating it as an extension of their internet presence and manage it in the same way they would their personal website, social media etc i.e. they make brazen edits to suit their personal agenda (paint themselves in as positive a light as possible). I've been attempting to bring it back to wiki's preferred style of neutrality and relevance, however I have been met with extreme resistance (as you can clearly see throughout the history, and their refusal to engage with policies as outlined on the article and their talk pages previously. I know this isn't necessarily grounds for deletion, however if there is any doubt about notability, i believe this is a valid point to sway fence-sitters as this article will just attract the same person in various manifestations who will continue behaving in this manner and threaten the integrity of the article/site. Additionally you can see here on the 2nd google result (the first being wiki), it's a profile page written by his agent with a prominent link to the wiki page, meaning that they consciously view it as a major part of the artist's internet presence.http://www.aaminc.com/clients/detail/serban_ghenea

Rayman60 (talk) 19:26, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of deleting the page, please explain how it can be fixed. It is unnecessary to delete something that is factual. Not all of us are accomplished editors and mistakes are made, but without clarity, it is difficult to fix.

What is it you don't like? Is it that you don't know what a mix engineer is? There is a Wikipedia page dedicated to mixing engineers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_engineer. It is shortened to "mixer" instead of "mixing engineer" - if that is the issue with Serban Ghenea's page, then it can be changed to "Mixing Engineer." Or is it you don't believe he is one? Here is his allmusic page which proves in fact that he is a mixer and verifies work that he has done - http://www.allmusic.com/artist/serban-ghenea-mn0000001497/credits. Or is it that his discography is not in a table format? That can easily be fixed.

Contrary to your belief, being a mixing engineer is a notable thing across the industry, it is not a thanks on the sleeve. It is the final stage of the production process before mastering. They are always credited on the album, typically with the producer. You can buy every album listed and 100% of the time you will see on the label copy: "Mixed by Serban Ghenea"

Please advise instead of deleting.

Some are better than others but they are all in different formats and some just as long and extensive, However none are as well referenced as Serban's page. Nothing in this article is meant to be promotional as everything is factual and verifiable. Every claim is referenced. If you do not believe so, please explain what is missing.

-The works listed can be verified using the provided Allmusic.com link in the External Links section. -Grammy claims are linked directly to the NARAs and LARAS websites which list Serban Ghenea's awards. -All artists, album's, and songs are linked directly, (where possible), to their corresponding wiki articles. -Every chart position is linked directly to the Billboard, or other chart's sites where claim is verified.

Would it help to reformat the article? Is one format preferred over another?

With regards to COI, how is that to be avoided? Couldn't anyone contributing to an article be considered having a close connection to the subject? Should we expect that people who do not know the subject will create and maintain pages? Would it help to remove the representation / management reference?

Please help. Thank you.

Comment: I would take out three things for starters – (1) the reference to the management company, which has no relevance to the article and is pure promotion (this definitely has to go); (2) all the references to various Billboard charts, as the chart positions of the records aren't relevant either, and don't prove one way or the other that Ghenea worked on those records (although I do not doubt that he did); (3) the Grammy Awards, because I think those go to the artist and not to the engineer/mixer of the record? So I'm not sure what is left after that that would make the article a keep. Richard3120 (talk) 22:02, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rayman60 seems to have an editorial problem here; You say "but I'm not entirely sure what he does in his capacity as a 'mixer' (it seems to me to be one of those vague industry terms that doesn't particularly describe the extent of the person's involvement)." So you yourself admit you are not qualified to make editorial decisions regarding this subject. Mr. Ghenea is one of the most prolific, successful, and in demand music mixers extant. The wikipedia page is a container of facts; You seem to want personal biographical information added, but this is not the desire of the subject of the article and is not relevant to this section on music personalities.

SmartSE; You say "Several albums that he has worked on have won Grammys but from my reading of WP:NMUSIC this doesn't confer notability on the audio engineer" You are wrong. They Grammys, and the TEC awards, are the mark of success in a business where audio engineers receive little outside-the-industry recognition and in a online world, increasingly less. You are also mistaken in that Mr Ghenea himself has won 8 Grammy awards for his work, that is not just things that he has worked on winning; these are awards placed in his hands with his name on them. This IS Notable!

You will see that I am also connected to the subject, and I'm sure you will have complaints about that. Should we get a panel of Music Industry heavyweights to come and show their support here? We could do that, but that seems to me that it would be more of this 'painting themselves in a positive light'

The Wikipedia notice says that "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." This is an encyclopedic page and it is all verifiable; links in the references section and article go to the best available information for proof. Johnhanes (talk) 22:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that the management contact should go. The references to Billboard are relevant and notable. These are the metrics on which our industry is measured. If I were doing an article on a famous track athlete, wouldn't I want to show where the placed in various races or events? Grammy awards do go to mixers and engineers and have very specific guidelines as to who is eligible; it is a high bar to make and confers a great deal of respect and admiration for their work. The first two links in the references section go the the Grammy and Latin Grammy winners search showing he did indeed winJohnhanes (talk) 22:22, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected on the Grammys: Ghenea's name does indeed appear on the Grammys search. So the first two references are fine, but I still say the other 148 are irrelevant and should go. The point is that Ghenea is not mentioned in any of them, so they don't provide verifiability. Yes, of course you would want to to show where a track athlete placed in various races, but in order to do that you would have to provide a link to a reliable website or newspaper article that states the athlete's position BY NAME. Richard3120 (talk) 22:26, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where should we find this information? Links to Allmusic.com and Discogs.com pages have credits and are currently the industry standard for credit information. Links go to artist pages that should show credits, but often don't. Should we go to each artist and album page and add credits to those? How is that information verified? Is a Wikipedia page a verified source for another Wikipedia page? We in this industry wish there was a better place to show our accomplishments, our credits accurately; without such a place, we turn to the Internet Encyclopedia. There is no newspaper posting album and song credits; we link to the best sources available. It may not be convenient, but that is not under our control. Johnhanes (talk) 22:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And that's the issue here: it's not up to Wikipedia to find this information, it's up to the editors who want to add this information to find it themselves. And no, another Wikipedia page can't be used as a verified source, because that creates a WP:CIRCULAR argument.

I don't have anything against Ghenea, it's clear from the list of records that he has worked on that he is a notable and respected engineer within the industry. And it's a real shame that there aren't more awards and the like to recognise the impact the "backroom staff" make. But unfortunately it's not Wikipedia's business to try and rectify that situation, sorry. Richard3120 (talk) 00:08, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Richard3120, Thank you for the constructive suggestions. I understand and agree with you as well, regarding the removal of any representation references and will do so. However, in your first post, above, you then said "(2) all the references to various Billboard charts, as the chart positions of the records aren't relevant either, and don't prove one way or the other that Ghenea worked on those records (although I do not doubt that he did)". That is exactly what the Serban Ghenea at discogs.com, and AllMusic.com, references in the External Links section are for. To prove involvement on the projects. These sites get metadata direct from the record labels and can not be user modified. The data is as straight "from the horses mouth", as it gets. All the credits can be verified there. The chart websites verify the individual song/album performance. "Grammy.com Winners Search", and "Grammy.com Latin Winners Search" links verify the awards. All the facts are verifiable. Now if we can agree that the verifiability and notability requirements are met, what else can be done to improve the article?

Cavalino06 (talk) 02:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of what i am reading here is shocking.

This (these?) ‘editor(s)/subject’ is/are now on the back-foot and is/are desperately clutching at straws to defend their presence here.

They have had plenty of opportunity over time to engage with the rules - there’s no overcoming the fact that this is not a SPA/COI issue and even if the artist did justify a page (which I believe should only be debated by established editors), they should not aggressively be driving the content - especially as ‘editors’ with no proven interest in project wiki.

Like i said before, ‘mixer’ is one of those those generic terms a la producer - it could be the person who writes, creates, performs and drives the track, or it could be the person who brings it all together without contributing much to the overall finished article. ‘Mixer’ is far further down the food chain of a finished musical track, and in terms of the avril lavignes and lifehouses of the world, may be a very insignificant role not worthy of praise. like i say, i’m not fully in tune with the intricacies of contributions at this scale of this type of music to pass judgement, so i’d like to hear from a proven NEUTRAL contributor on the actual relevance of this. I have to say as someone passionate about music and curious about the process of creating it, I have never really come across much about mixers and masters and engineers etc. Few have gone to such lengths to create such a positive image for themselves on here. As an example, there’s a mastering engineer/audio engineer who's worked on some outstanding releases for ~20 years, highly regarded and respected by a large number of top artists, but google him+wiki and you might find the occasional article where his name is mentioned as part of the credits, but no article of him, no extended list of his work anywhere else other than forums, linked websites, discogs etc. To me, that is where the limit of these insanely protracted lists belong. Not on wiki. I can understand if someone like Kevin Bacon has such a list detailing their entire career, but he’s in a different league to subject, to such a degree that his filmography IS considered encyclopaedic.

I think there’s no doubt about the motives of Cavalinho06 (an account created to give some veneer of respectability to the edits purely by the fact that it is registered and not an IP editor)….and the ridiculous claim that they were unable to appreciate the issues raised (admittedly I had forgotten to link to SPA/COI and teahouse as I normally do) is merely a cover, as this info is freely available to any committed and interested editor. Surely common sense and general knowledge dictates that you cannot edit your own wiki page in any manner you see fit when it is about you - and when you are challenged on this, the initial action should be to investigate this further to ensure you’re not breaching policy. I have on occasion listed in my edit summaries to not automatically revert them, but they have been summarily ignored. Their activity over more than a year betray any false tail-between-the-legs sentiments they may display today with their backs against the wall.

There is some irreverent mention about having music heavyweights back up their position. Please feel free to start your own website or propose changes to global policies on wiki via appropriate channels, but don’t use that as an argument to justify your actions. Policies will not be suspended on a case-by-case basis to suit your agenda.

Who is Johnhanes???? A neutral editor who felt compelled to jump in on this issue as their first contribution? Or a sock-puppet to support the cause of this COI/SPA with utter disregard for neutrality and every other wiki philosophy? This just nails home the point I’ve been making about this article. I may occasionally jump in with bold attempts to wiki-fy the article, or occasionally (only previous time being ~30 months ago) request the attention of senior editors, but they are busy volunteers, and this is a determined and stubborn person with an agenda, so this is a difficult battle for a concerned editor to engage with. If they can mobilise such a diverse and disparate set of ‘uninvolved' ‘editors’ at such short notice, they are equally able to launch an assault an an unanticipated moment in the future, time when genuine editors are tied up with real life or other editorial considerations…..As editors/volunteers/occasional contributors with a diverse range of interests both here and elsewhere, we have different levels of dedication to this article compared to the determined subject, so ultimately they may just adopt their previous tactic of biding their time, and in 6 months we may find ourselves with this same poor standard of article making a mockery of the rules that guide the content of articles.

There are so many issues with this article, with its associated editors, with contraventions to rules, an on-going and frankly never-ending abuse of basic principles.

I appreciate that there are other examples may also not meet wiki standards, and thank you for bringing them to our attention, rest assured I will apply the same rules to them in the near future, but they are fallacies of irrelevance and thus do not support your argument.

I have thought about many other ways to defend this article from this horrendous abuse, such as semi-protect, however that’s a temporary measure against vandalism and moot in light of cavalinho’s qualification to bypass this by means of time registered. There are few tools we have in defence of their subterfuge because in the past we’ve had editors who’ve stepped in either here or in other COI issues i’ve been involved in (and this seems to be endemic of musicians of this particular level of reverence) and over time their interest or attention has waned, so my concern is this subject will once again ride out the storm created by this challenge and once again commandeer this article to suit their own means.

I have zero confidence that any attempt to curb the content of this article will have any effect because the combined forces of the subject/their hired team; they will consistently monitor this article and continue to attempt to drive it towards their own ideal and resist any changes. Therefore, as long as it meets any delete criteria, it is safest to delete in order to protect the integrity of this project. If the consensus is against delete, I believe senior editors should wiki-fy the article, clear the PR fluff, and find a way to prevent the COIers interfering in future (this will be a considerable undertaking given their determination to disregard all rules up to this point).

Whatever the decision is regarding keeping/deleting, I believe Cavalinho and its sockpuppets should be prevented from ever touching this article again, and custodianship passed to genuine editors who can maintain some degree of neutrality in tone, encyclopaedic in content and rationality in length otherwise this entire exercise will be an exercise in futility, as has been my attempts for the last 3 years.Rayman60 (talk) 02:32, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rayman60; you say "or it could be the person who brings it all together without contributing much to the overall finished article. ‘Mixer’ is far further down the food chain of a finished musical track, and in terms of the avril lavignes and lifehouses of the world" You are so ignorant of this subject it is ridiculous that you are putting yourself in charge of the editing here. The "Mixer" is THE person that puts the "Finish" on a musical track. After the mixer, it goes to the mastering engineer who assembles the album, may do overall balancing, (which is then checked and approved by the Mixer again) and/or adds ISRC codes and then to the printing plant. There is no process after the mixer that has much effect at all on the "finished musical track". Your ignorance of this entire subject shows that you are acting on your opinions, not on facts, and that you should remove yourself as you are not acting in a "neutral tone". You also say that we "continue to attempt to drive it towards their own ideal and resist any changes" Our "ideal" is to present factual information that is of interest to people in the business of music. Johnhanes (talk) 14:27, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is most shocking is that Rayman60 continues to stand on a pedestal spewing excrement, about promoting a "Neutral Tone", while repeatedly hacking away at an article based on his opinion without any attempt to correct when requested. This should be considered vandalism. Rayman60 says, "I have to say as someone passionate about music and curious about the process of creating it, I have never really come across much about mixers and masters and engineers etc." His self admitted interest and ignorance on the subject of the music production process, should be reason enough to ban him from editing articles pertaining to music if he is going to let his opinions based on ignorance guide his decisions. Not everything is cut and dry! Rayman60 clearly has an agenda here. It is clear that he doesn't believe achieving #1 records and albums or winning 8 Grammy awards is notable, so that should be deleted. It is also clear that he didn't bother to follow the links and check that any of the claims are verifiable, so those must be rubbish as well, and had to be deleted.

He says he has been trying to clean up this article for 30 months but the history shows his first edit as Rayman60 was in October 2014. At that time he deleted 90% of the article, citing (excessive list, lots of unreferenced claims). The same references existed then as they do today. When asked to please clarify and explain how the page can be improved, no response... The COI issue is understood and agreed, so the management reference was removed yesterday, only to be undone this morning by Rayman60, citing, (Undid revision. I think the article in its entirety should stand whilst the debate is played out....attempts at removing obvious infarctions may be viewed as subtle subterfuge whilst opinions are being forged). Even though the tag at the top of the page states, "Feel free to edit the article..." This article has been edited and contributed to by 30 to 40 individual editors since 2008 so the argument that it is purely promotional is ridiculous. Rayman60 decided that Mr. Ghenea is not notable. Easy to do if you remove all of his, "excessive list" of accomplishments from the article. This list only highlights the most "notable" achievements (which was/is fully referenced and verifiable), as the complete list or discography of approximately 800 projects exists at discogs.com and all music.com.

Rayman60 says, "I can understand if someone like Kevin Bacon has such a list detailing their entire career, but he’s in a different league to subject, to such a degree that his filmography IS considered encyclopedic." It is sad that, just because he is not familiar with or understands what Mr. Ghenea's contribution is, Rayman60 considers this individuals impressive list of achievements to be excessive and not worthy of presentation in a place that strives to be factual and verifiable. How does this behavior promote a "Neutral Tone" on Wikepedia??

This is not back-pedalling or "clutching at straws", The reason we are talking about this today is because Rayman60 wouldn't engage in a discussion previously. If it wasn't for Richard3120, nothing constructive and positive would have come out of this discussion.

Rayman60: you say "I can understand if someone like Kevin Bacon has such a list detailing their entire career, but he’s in a different league to subject, to such a degree that his filmography IS considered encyclopedic."

Comment @Cavalino06: @Johnhanes: If you want your arguments to have weight here you need to understand that with the present sourcing Ghenea doesn't meet the general notability guideline which is the gold standard for whether a topic should be included in the encyclopedia. WP:42 explains as succinctly as possible what is required. My knowledge, Rayman60's knowledge and your own knowledge is of no relevance to this discussion since Wikipedia relies on previously published works for information. Unless it can be demonstrated that someone independent of Ghenea has written in-depth about his work, then we shouldn't have an article about him, regardless of how many notable tracks he has worked on. Please stick to providing new sources if they are available and note that this discussion isn't about the content of the article, which should be discussed on the talk page.

Smarse: Ok, then, adding sources now regarding notability and mentions in popular media Johnhanes (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Based on the Wikipedia policies presented, particularly those outlined under WP:MUS and Wikipedia:Articles_for_Deletion, I don't understand why there is a push to have this entry deleted rather than edited and supplemented with additional sources. The only potential issue with this entry is notability, but the sources already posted citing Ghenea's involvement in high-profile works should at the very least demonstrate that it may require more editing and sources, not deletion. I understand the COI issue, so shouldn't this page be listed for review to be edited by a neutral party instead of listed for deletion?

I’d like to note that I am simply commenting on a talk page and I have never edited Serban Ghenea’s Wikipedia page, so this is not meatpuppetry which you claimed I was doing on another sockpuppet page @Smartse:. --Hannahgracevc (talk) 22:11, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, WP:42 is an essay and arguably, in another essay, WP:NOT42, says it shouldn't be mentioned in an AfD debate as it arguably represents the notability guidelines as being somewhat stricter and somewhat more unequivocal than they really are.

Under notes for WP:42, it states "This is not a Wikipedia policy or guideline; please defer to such in a case of inconsistency with this page." This essay should not determine if this page should be deleted or not. --Hannahgracevc (talk) 22:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete having a small role on a notable album does not address WP:GNG, especially the "significant coverage" part. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:33, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

More extended comments

Serban Ghenea does not play a "small" or "insignificant" part of the mix process. A mix engineer is a very clearly defined role -- they take hundreds of separate audio tracks and craft them into the finished product that we hear. A mix engineer is not someone who gets coffee or who is far down the food chain -- they are one of the most critical pieces of a finished product. Serban has more Billboard #1 hits to his credit than just about any other mix engineer out there, and this is a verifiable fact. His discography is tremendous, spanning the top grossing records of the last 20 years and the world's most influential artists. The fact that one or two people's ignorance about a subject is ruling here goes against everything Wikipedia stands for. Just because I am ignorant of the details of nuclear physics doesn't mean I have the right to delete that page saying "who cares, it's not notable in my, extremely biased opinion." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.77.239.141 (talk) 01:36, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While I do understand that the role of a mix engineer is important on an album, the fact remains that Ghenea is virtually unknown outside the industry, and it isn't Wikipedia's job to try and get more recognition for him by listing all the albums he has worked on. You are right, you wouldn't have the right to delete an article on nuclear physics because the consensus would be to keep it. But that's because we can find many articles in science journals, newspapers, etc. to provide reliable sources for the Wikipedia article. Whereas with Ghenea, we have two mentions on the Grammys website, and that is it. That's why it doesn't pass notability: simply linking to a record's chart position on Billboard doesn't "prove" Ghenea worked on it because his name is not mentioned anywhere, although I stress again I personally have no doubt of his involvement. That's the real issue here – finding reliable sources and facts that prove his notability and to create a decent Wikipedia article that isn't just a list of records he has worked on, because you can go to http://www.allmusic.com/artist/serban-ghenea-mn0000001497 or http://www.discogs.com/artist/105435-Serban-Ghenea for that – the Wikipedia article should be a rounded biography of his life and work (fully referenced, of course), but John Hanes has stated above that is exactly what the artist doesn't want, so it leaves us with a bit of a conundrum. Articles like this would be perfectly acceptable to use in creating an article on Ghenea: strip away all the technical stuff and you could use it to say how he started out working with Teddy Riley, that his first ever session was for New Kids on the Block, etc. – but you would need more interviews like this to really build up a decent article.

Comeback (sports)[edit]

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

WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Comeback can be used not just for sports, and let me point out there there isn't an article on it for non sports instances. What constitutes a sports comeback is also a matter of opinion. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's one of those "unofficial" statistics, isn't it? Not kept by leagues, but fastidiously, by fans. Pandeist (talk) 18:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- In fact we could have a page on fourth-quarter comebacks alone!! Pandeist (talk) 18:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

delete. It's subjective, encyclopedias are objective. In order to keep this, we need a definition of "greatest", within the context of sports comebacks, that's what most people would consider indisputable.--John, AF4JM (talk) 18:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why? We have pages on thinks like List of films considered the best do we not? "We" don't need a definition, we simply need to point to a definition supplied by somebody else of the sort we'd normally point to for this sort of thing. Pandeist (talk) 19:03, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By way of example, here's what I believe is generally considered a good source for this site -- Bleacher Report, listing its picks for "greatest sports comeback".

Bleacher Report fails WP:RS. You also link to a blog up above. That isn't a RS either per WP:SPS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

why does Bleacher Report fail RS? What makes it unreliable? It's used thousands of times on Wikipedia pages. Anyway, I'm sure you could find RS sources even you couldn't pan which account "greatest comebacks." How about USA Today? Huffington Post? Pandeist (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Also the Telegraph and MSN (although they mix together career and event comebacks). In fact, career comebacks might also be included (I'm looking at you, Michael Jordan and Brett Favre). Clarityfiend (talk) 23:12, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the intent of this article. It is not a list article, and is not intended to list the "greatest comebacks"; it is merely intended to explain what a "comeback" is in the context of sports competitions, and how and why they happen. A comparable article would be home advantage. It can and should include examples of events identified as significant comebacks, for the purpose of illustrating what would constitute a comeback in various sports where such a thing is possible. I have added some references to actual academic studies, which should aptly demonstrate that the "comeback" in sports is a phenomenon worthy of examination. This also meets the "objectiveness" criteria suggested by User:AF4JM. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:01, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – we deleted Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Collapse_(sports) a few months ago (although I can't see the debate at the page for some reason), and comeback falls into the same category of a subjective sports statistic. What I see at the moment is a dictionary definition of a comeback, and a grab-bag of semi-relevant statistics attempting to draw some trends. Then I see sport-by-sport sections which give a brief introduction then launch straight into the subjective/unofficial lists of examples. I don't see a basis for an encyclopedic article here. Aspirex (talk) 06:25, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Unlike "collapse" (and comparable to Choke (sports)), this phenomenon has been the subject of peer-reviewed published academic examination, cited in the article. If it is suitable for an academic paper topic for multiple papers, then it is suitable for an encyclopedia topic. bd2412 T 14:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I disagree. So an academic paper has done a statistical analysis and concluded that there are final period comebacks of indeterminate size (presumably 1-point three-quarter-time basketball deficits are counted in that) in 20% of games in three unrelated cherry-picked sports – that's just WP:INDISCRIMINATE statistical material which, in the article right now, fails to support any meaningful point; the fact that it's come from an academic source instead of a newspaper or online sports blog does not impress me.

Keep - Clearly passes WP:GNG, but I do think there's potential to convert this to a broader article about the concept of a comeback in general (i.e. not limited to sports, but the narrative device/trope that applies to sports -- after all, sport is drama)to avoid becoming a coatrack/collection of ideas united only by a term (rather than a single concept). But that's not directly relevant to this AfD, which is about sports comebacks -- and sports comebacks look to be supported by quite a lot of sources. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:23, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The key challenge I perceive is a lack of a underlying common concept, beyond the dictionary definition. Going into details for each sport regarding how a comeback can occur feels a lot like an exploration of the rules for each, which seems like a lot of detail for a general concept article. Listing specific comeback instances seems like giving undue weight to hand-picked examples. isaacl (talk) 04:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The examples are generally those "hand-picked" by independent reliable sources, not by Wikipedians. Several of those sources have compiled overlapping lists of notable comebacks, so whatever weight is given is the weight these sources have given. The common concept is not merely the definition of what a comeback is, but the sourced description of the phenomenon as one of the most dramatic things in sports. bd2412 T 05:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - The tricky aspect of using sports journalism as sources is that it has a promotional aspect to it that isn't well-suited for a neutral point of view. "Greatest X" lists are notorious for this, often being written as human-interest stories rather than expressing a serious editorial viewpoint. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on an analysis of the emotional tension and release of the phenomenon, as this would better unify the concept across sports. isaacl (talk) 05:37, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree that additional discussion of the emotional nature of the event would improve the article, and will look for sources on that aspect. I also agree that sports journalism has a promotional element, but it is still journalism. The point of including examples from those lists is not to showcase the "greatest" comebacks in the sports represented, but to provide an unequivocal example of what constitutes a comeback in various sports (in much the same way Score (sport) lists the kinds of scores tallied in various sports). Cheers! bd2412 T 17:09, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Note though that even a run-of-the-mill comeback is still a comeback; focusing solely on exceptional ones is misleading with respect to the overall concept. I suggest the text should avoid describing examples as "greatest", to avoid the impression that the article is a compendium of the greatest comebacks. isaacl (talk) 17:38, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Unfortunately, there are no compilations of run-of-the-mill comebacks, so selecting examples of those would be a bit trickier. In most sports, a team that is down by a score or two at the half, and prevails, could be described as having made a comeback, but there is definitely a gray area as the disadvantage overcome gets smaller. However, no sports writer will dispute that the 2004 American League Championship Series, the 2013 America's Cup, or the 1993 Bills-Oilers playoff game, were examples of a "comeback" within those sports. That said, here is an example of a rather run-of-the-mill comeback being described by the writer as one where "[t]here could not be a better example of a comeback after having their backs against the wall in the first innings than this". bd2412 T 18:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Finding ordinary comebacks is easy and doesn't require a special compilation source as they happen every day. There is a potential due weight concern in singling some out, but even everyday occurrences can benefit from real examples. But honestly I don't see a lot of explanation required for sports with an ongoing scoreboard—the history of the score illustrates if a team came back from a disadvantage. More interesting would be a sport like sailing, I think, where the relative positions of the boats with respect to each other and the wind determine who has an advantage. isaacl (talk) 03:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, the article is basically a list of films cribbed from IMDB. There are a few works on this list that may establish notability via criterion 3 of WP:CREATIVE, but there are no reliable sources to show what exact role he played in creating those works. clpo13_(talk) 16:21, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main claim to notability in the article is the firm's relationship with Chad Kolton. Per WP:COMPANY, notability for companies can't be inherited from people related to them, and there is nothing to suggest this company is notable on its own. clpo13_(talk) 15:49, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I see nothing in the article to that effect. It is the references which attest to the notability. -- Kendrick7^talk 19:29, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I meant that in reference to the fact that the article is almost entirely a mention of people involved in it, implying that it's notable because of them. That's not enough to satisfy WP:COMPANY, which requires more than being associated with notable (or semi-notable) people. clpo13_(talk) 19:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The point was to explain where the initials H, D, M, and K originally came from. The firm does still make the news in Washington on a semi-regular basis.[33] Frankly, I only stubbed this out because they were related to the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund back during the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. It's not like they just bake cookies or anything, and I'm sure they'll get up to some sort of hijinks during the election cycle in 2016.

As at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XHUGTO-TV, this is an evident hoax created by an editor who's already been blocked on es: for creating hoax articles about nonexistent Mexican television stations. As just one example of the obvious problem here, TBS is a single cable channel, not a network which has separate individual affiliated television stations — and it's an American service, so even if it were a network in the latter sense the only way it would ever have any affiliate in Mexico would be on the Tijuana-San Diego loophole. But this station isn't claimed as being in Tijuana. Plus there's the matter of the almost completely incomprehensible writing style.

Delete for now. There is an assertion of notability here via her writing for various TV shows, but I can't really find anything to show how involved she was in the process. There can be many, many writers on a team, some that take major roles while others do cleanup. Unfortunately it can be difficult to find information on people in India, especially if they're not mainstream. Other than a notification of an event, I can't really find anythign to show that she's ultimately notable enough for an article at this point in time. It also doesn't help that the article history was almost entirely written by a sockpuppet and was likely created by another. I have no true issue with this being recreated if WP:RS can be provided that back up the claims of notability, but this looks to be too soon for an entry.

The result was speedy delete. Almost entirely a copyvio from their website. We can not keep this, either in mainspace or as a draft. With respect to promotionalism, it is only a little more promotional than many university articles, most of which seem to be written by the PR staff--though a few are from alumni, usually over-enthusiastic alumni. Cleaning all these up will be a long business, but this article, particularly outrageous in both the promotionalism and the copyvio, is a good place to start. Reducing to a stub is an option for copyvio, but when its bad as here, it is better to start over. It would merit an article: major campus of large universities always are considered notable.

There's several of these articles based solely on primary sources, cleanup would remove the WP:BLUDGEON of sources but a stub with primaries still fails GNG.

Delete - notability definitely not established. imdb.com is not usually considered a reliable source when establishing notability. And even if it were, this person's imdb bio clearly does not meet WP:NACTOR. She's had a single significant role in a notable film (that of the Mom in the Uninvited). Her role in Cabin was a minor one. And searches show that she doesn't meet WP:GNG, all of the mentions were of the trivial kind, announcing her as part of the cast.

Unusual AFD, possibly haunted First, there's the fact that the article has been here since 2009, and an SPA named MayaMassar repeatedly removed large swaths of content for years, more recently an SPA named MayaAYG has been doing so. Then there's IMDB, not reliable, but that's an awfully long list of movies. I searched for her on the LATimes, a 2009 review panning a horror movie came up, "Well, there's the fact that Mom (Maya Massar) keeps popping up around the house in one horribly disfigured form or another, screaming "Murderer!" while pointing at Rachel." It reads as though we should know who Maya Massar is (a notorious ghost?) I'll take a swing at sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:39, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proquest Newspapers search turned up a profile in her hometown paper, Langley, British Columbia You are invited to Uninvited, Tamminga, Monique.

According to the Langley Times, Massar is: "Massar, an artist, poet and alternative healing facilitator" who plays a lot of ghosts and ghouls. Next article: "Leos a one-stop meet-mart: Producer sees long life for coroner drama": [Final Edition], Parry, Malcolm. The Vancouver Sun [Vancouver, B.C] 14 May 2002: B3. Husband David Massar turns out to be a movie producer who persuaded his wife to become an actress. Films got local awards. Some details of marriage. Next article: Actually, no. There are quite a lot of articles, also reviews with short mentions for probably all the movies at IMDB. Also stuff like an article: A school to get up early for: Families have been known to camp overnight to register their children at Langley Fine Arts School: [National Edition], Dube, Francine. National Post [Don Mills, Ont] 24 Apr 2001: A15. Where she talks about how great the school where her kids go is. Summing up She is sort of notable for playing roles in horror films, newspapers interview her about the 4.5 hours she spends in make-up session to come out looking like something the cat dragged in. I don't do a lot of AFDs for minor film actors, so, asking those who do, is this enough?

Weak Keep per slightly sneaking up on WP:GNG and thus WP:BASIC.

Delete Individuals in this industry have engaged in feuds, that does not mean that the topic merits an article.

Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. -- Softlavender (talk) 15:59, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a fair claim to main that this is a non-notable book. At the least you guys should take a look at the quality of reviews and blog posts that this book has been getting in the last few months. Frankly speaking, India is currently plagued with the growing rape culture. In a matter of one year, India has seen 660% growth in the number of juvenile rape crimes. This number is staggering and is extremely socially relevant. The book which we are talking about here is a psychological thriller targeting to wake up the country in slumber by challenging the juvenile justice system in India. The sheer reviews that the book as got on Amazon and Goodreads should tell you guys about the quality of work.

My sincere request is to support the cause and not delete this page calling it "non-notable". That is a slap on the face of the writer as well as the women kind in India.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Xdead10cc (talk • contribs) 07:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A self published book with no notability in reliable sources and as pointed out, only few (1 or 2?) reliable sources listed there do actually mention the book.

~~Merge~~ to Celestine Sibley Sibley Fleming is a working journalist who has self-published children's books ans a memoir about her grandmother. Of the references on the page #2 leads to the staff section of a publication she writes for, and #3 may be similar, although I could not get the link to work. Writing for a series of business publications is just a job, no secondary sources seem to discuss the idea of her doing it with any notability.

That leaves the first source, which is to a sort of how-to-self-promote book that does, in fact, profile her and her skill at self-promotion, i.e. she paid to have pop-up art made up for children's books she writes. Her only significant book is Celestine Sibley: A Granddaughter's Reminiscence (2000), about her Grandmother, Celestine Sibley. But the book, which appears to have been self-published, seems ot have attracted no attention at all.

Since the grandmother was long-time columnist for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, I searched that paper for mention of the granddaughter's book. I turned up this article [42]. Access is behind a paywall, but the google search excerpt says: " A compilation of her work edited by her granddaughter, namesake and fellow writer, Sibley Fleming." So, the article is not about Flemings's "Reminiscence" but, rather, about a different book, "The Celestine Sibley Sampler: Writings & Photographs With Tributes to the Beloved Author and Journalist." (1997) A collection of the Grandmother's writings co-authored with her Grandmother. Editing a collection of her grandmother's columns, is absolutely lovely thing for a grandchild to do. But it does not confer notability. Further searches on Proquest turn up social column announcements (scanning, they appear to be wedding and who-attended-which-party announcements in the Atlanta papers - the family appears to have been well placed in Atlanta society circles.) Her co-edited volume of her grandmother's writings did get some attention:
Sibley Sampler leaves reader wishing for more

Heitman, Danny. Advocate [Baton Rouge, La] 22 Mar 1998: 6-mag. - a write-up or book review in a Louisiana Daily.

Here's pre-pub. promo for the book in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, in full, "Buzz also chatted up Sibley's granddaughter, Celestine Sibley Fleming this week. Fleming told us her memoir, "Celestine Sibley: A Granddaughter's Reminiscence" (Hill Street Press, $19.95), will hit store shelves in March. In the book's introduction, Fleming writes: "This book is about the inheritance left me by my grandmother, not about diamond tiaras or strings of pearls, but instead a look at the richness of life, the miracle of relationships and the wisdom that comes from greeting every day with an open mind and sense of humor." Eldredge, Richard L. The Atlanta Constitution [Atlanta, Ga] 10 Feb 2000: F; 2.
Long article about the "Sampler" of grandmother's writings book in AJC, 'It doesn't seem right that Celestine's not around to announce springtime, especially a fine one like this.': [Home Edition]

I also found 2 brief things about her children's book in the AJC, (an author appearance, a mention) 1 in the Barton Rouge Paper, and 1 brief reference ot a guidebook about Atlanta that she wrote.

Summing up, the grandmother's career was notable. Flemings' Celestine Sibley: A Granddaughter's Reminiscence, and the co-authored "The Celestine Sibley Sampler: Writings & Photographs With Tributes to the Beloved Author and Journalist." should be added to that page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:57, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Winds (band)[edit]

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

Questionably notable? and improvable article as I found no better coverage and even the band members' articles all are equally questionable except for Jan Axel von Blomberg which at least has some sources (followed somewhat closely by Andy Winter) and the best I found was this. The albums may also be questionable as they all have Allmusic reviews and The Imaginary Direction of Time actually has two but overall I would like some insight with this. Pinging Wizardman, IllaZilla and Ketiltrout and also notifying unactive authors Karpsmom and KAtremer. Considering the Japanese band W-inds seems notable, this may also be redirected to that after deletion. SwisterTwister talk 06:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I'm hoping for a better consensus, I'm notifying music users Michig and Walter Görlitz. SwisterTwister talk 05:29, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weal Keep - The articles for two of the band's members should be deleted. The other two should be edited for length. I'm sure that Michig, and others, would argue that because the members are individually notable that any band two or more of them are in is notable. I don't think that's the case here. However, three of the band's four albums have staff reviews on AllMusic. They should all be reviewed and strengthened. The weight of those reviews leads me to believe they're notable, and the article should be improved. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the band. Just enough coverage exists including in Jeff Wagner's book Mean Deviation. The articles on the band members are not nominated so pointless commenting on them. --Michig (talk) 06:50, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Renominating as the last discussion failed to reach a consensus. The rationale is the same as before; apparently, the human chain was actually just one part of a larger political movement, so if that movement had its own article, I would not be opposing this being merged there.

Strong Keep - WP:GEOBIAS. If a protest of this scale occurred in the United States (given that a woman who refuses to marry same-sex couples gets her own controversy article AND BLP), a deletion nom would be treated as satire.

Tuvalu national basketball team[edit]

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

Fails WP:V – no evidence in reliable sources (that I can find) that Tuvalu has ever had a national basketball team. The single source listed is The Complete Guide to National Symbols and Emblems, a rather dubious reference work that seems to have relied on Wikipedia as a source. Basketball in Tuvalu, which is actually sourced, makes no reference to a national team, and, based on the links to the page, Tuvalu has never participated in any FIBA or non-FIBA tournaments.

Comment: On the page you refer to [65] says that: Cyclists are presumed notable if they ... Won Gold at an international multi-sport event (games) (also includes races like the World University Cycling Championship); I would say that the Island Games are an international multi-sport event, even if all of the islands are not countries. Some of the islands or island groups who have participated are are countries (i.e. Iceland), some even independent countries. The participants come from Europe, North America, South America, Saint Helena is in the South Atlantic Ocean.

U.S. National Video Game Team[edit]

Despite the name, no recognized official status. Very little non-trivial coverage in reliable sources to establish any sort of notability; had a brief run of limited attention in the 80s, and nearly none since.

Comment The U.S. National Video game team was registered for Trademark and rebooted 8-7-2015 Since the announcement of the reboot, we've been working on compiling historical articles, with the intent to add them to this page. Since our first small edits, this page, has been near constantly edited and put up for deletion. It makes absolutely no sense to me that a page that has been here for as long as this page has existed, has been put up for deletion over and over again. Myself an original member of the team in 1983 Tim McVey, along with Patrick Scott Patterson are attempting to preserve the history of the first original video game team in the country. We have the documents, we can't put them up yet. We do not wish to violate copyright in doing so. We are working on securing permission and following procedures to update the page in the correct manner. This process takes time. We would like for the page to NOT be deleted in the mean time. The original team was founded with several specific goals. We wanted to raise money for charity was one of them. Our bus tour in 1983 was to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. The other purpose of the team in 1983 was to challenge other countries around the world, to create a national team to represent their country, and to engage in friendly completion among the different nations National teams. This part never came to fruition. We are attempting to reboot the team, the name, preserve the legacy of the original members and historic events, and modernize for todays world and pursue similar goals as the original team had planned. With all the negativity online, GamerGate etc related to video games...we will be striving for the best in gaming. Positive team members. Members who embody the vision of promoting gaming in a positive manner. This does not happen overnight. Give us a chance. Help us make this page correctly. We are willing to take the time, to read and research, and make this page an addition to Wikipedia. We definitely want to get it removed from stub status. But right now, we can't seem to go more than 5 minutes without somebody editing out content, or putting the page up for deletion.

So how can I fix it, if you CONSTANTLY change it? While I am in the middle of editing it? Sprinter461 (talk) 00:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC) Also why was the list of past team members acceptable from 2008 until we started trying to fix the page recently? I do not understand. Sprinter461 (talk) 00:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A long list of non-notable names (the only thing I've deleted from it) does not in anyway "fix" the article. You may also want to read our policy on article ownership (short version: there is no article ownership). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:26, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page existed with what you call "non notable names" for years without it ever being considered an "issue". Your edits have actually made the page less factually correct, too, as your arbitrarily chosen "notable members" were made up of mostly former members, but your wording made it appear they were current. I am not a Civil War expert, which is why I don't edit Civil War pages. Not only do I feel a page that existed here for the better part of a decade should remain in place, but I do not feel edits should be made so freely by a person with limited or no knowledge on the subject as has been happening SuperPacMan (talk) 11:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sprinter461 I will say that Wikipedia's list inclusion policy (mentioned in WP:Prose), which requires that entities in a list already have pages, is byzantine and nearly paradoxical in a lot of situations. But it does prevent long lists of trivia from being included and tends to bring about better articles. The best way to address this is ideally on the article's talk page. The discussion of deletion is primarily focused on the topic of the article, not how it was written or whether anyone liked it.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 01:41, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Userify I think this article has the potential to meet guidelines for inclusion, but the subject of the article literally re-launched this month. It will be some time before notability is going to be established in a way that's going to qualify. For many of the reasons outlines WP:What_Wikipedia_is_not, this article isn't yet ripe for inclusion. Once the team has been written about in some credible non-PR contexts, it should be reconsidered.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 01:34, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The recent attempts to improve this page are indicative of and similar to activities that are banned. In this case, the specific inclusion of press releases and links to commercial blogs do not add value to the topic but serve only to affect the author's interests and not of the global knowledge community. This page is not meant to be personal property where one can promote a sole proprietorship or corporation. This page should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.96.183.9 (talk) 06:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@66.96.183.9: I'm not sure attempts to improve a page can ever really be banned, since we almost always assume good faith on an editor's part (WP:AGF). While I agree that these links do not yet qualify the article properly, I'm not prepared to come down any more harshly than to suggest the editor userify the page and continue work.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 16:02, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page existed for YEARS as it was. Nobody ever questioned it's worthiness or the notability of anyone listed on it before. All I did was add a snippet of recent news to make sure that the page read correctly. We then had a vandal... and since the vandal we have been nailed with a long line of admins that do not seem to realize this. The updates were to add to the knowledge base of the page and nothing more. For that matter the articles (not blogs) written about the history of it were also done in the interest of ensuring that very valid history was told, and were written well before the trademark was filed. In fact, the whole point of getting the trademark was to save the rich history of this Team. If you don't think a company like Coca Cola adds info to their page you aren't being honest. Help me understand how this page can exist as a stub for YEARS without it ever being a problem, only to be put up for deletion by an admin that seems to have little knowledge of the subject after a few minor edits and a vandal comes by? Our only intent with this team is to save and preserve the first-ever eSports team and you want to toss it out after it's been on here for YEARS? SuperPacMan (talk) 11:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, a simple look at the overall history of the page puts perspective on this. It was originally put into Wikipedia in June 2006 by the original founder, who did nothing but link to information he'd posted himself. The page then existed almost exactly as he posted it for over NINE YEARS without any admins saying it wasn't noteworthy or that anyone in it wasn't notable. Only after a minor edit to add in new information and an attack by a vandal it fended off this page is suddenly a problem? You can understand why I might be puzzled by that or might take this a little bit personal. NINE YEARS this article was on here - placed by the original founder and, it appears, edited over time by former members - and nobody takes issue until MORE info is actually added. Not a new page... a page that has been here since June 2006 and put up by the original founder. Please explain how things are only an issue now? SuperPacMan (talk) 12:02, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To get immediately to the point, there are millions of pages. This page -- much like the team you reference -- languished in obscurity for years. The recent back and forth edits brought it to my attention. If it is a historical team, why not merge the information with the Twin Galaxies own page? If this is a new organization, then you are guilty of self promoting your own business which is more then enough grounds for deletion. This is the world's information. This is not your personal website. You have asked a good question about why the page was unmolested for years. The answer is that the page was simply too minor for anyone to notice. The only outside information I could find about this team was this very article. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to record every minor detail of the business world but to make freely available the world's knowledge. Minutiae and trivia do not qualify for their own pages.

Perhaps because the Team was only intertwined with Twin Galaxies for a few years of it's history? After that, it ran on it's own and did a great deal on it's own. Combining the USNVGT's information with an organization that it was only involved with for a fraction of it's history would not be right and fair to preserving that history. From 1986 forward, the USNVGT was not involved in any way with Twin Galaxies and accomplished a great deal during that time, arguably more than it did with it. Why not just merge the page for the United States of America in with the Wiki page for England? Same logic. As far as finding "outside information" from outside this article, a Google search for U.S. National Video Game Team on Google provides me a great deal of information not linked in this article. Not sure why or how your results would vary.SuperPacMan (talk) 15:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article also violates Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not and Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources, the author of recent edits and main supporter of this article is supporting it with PR he has written himself, as a means of self promotion, which is not in any way a reliable source as anyone can construct those "PR Releases" for any purpose. The author in question also does not seem to comprehend the idea of relevance and neutrality of subject as well as Wikipedia:Ownership_of_content, the wiki is not meant to be used in the way this author intends and for all the reasons mentioned above, the article should be deleted as it is not relevant nor noteworthy on it's own at this time and has been covered in a more significant article Twin_Galaxies. 216.223.64.50 (talk) 15:12, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you wish to kill the page for reasons that existed with it from day one when the original founder set it up and posted things he wrote himself? Only one thing, by the way, is a PR release. In fact, the "more significant article' you site was created by the owner of that company at the time and edited by people involved with that company ever since. Unreal. SuperPacMan (talk) 15:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An article having existed previously in obscurity without being deleted despite being largely in contrast with the standards of the wiki does not exempt it from having those rules and regulations applied now. Wikipedia is a constantly evolving construct and while the article may have been valid under rule sets previously, it violates numerous rules currently as pointed out above. Be careful not to form tunnel vision around topics which are irrelevant (to wit: who created the page, who edited it and when) and instead review some of the conflicts as they have been pointed out in this discussion and it may add clarity as to why there is an issue with this article. 216.223.64.50 (talk) 18:05, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Instead of making demands to know WHY the rules apply it would be more constructive if you edited the page to shed light on why the notability of the organization. Shedding light does not include adding links to websites and blogs that you are responsible for. Please use real world examples of how this team was important in the past as well as today. Being combative and/or argumentative will not win your case. Please also explain why this allegedly historical team merits its own page. Providing links to neutral sources will greately help your case. We are all trying to increase the quality of the pages here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.96.183.9 (talk) 20:15, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot add anything to the article. Every time we touch it to add to it, it's immediately reverted and the changes are removed. Go ahead and delete it. The historical list of team members is already gone. It's pointless in it's current state. One more piece of video game history gone. You have a person on here editing that has a personal agenda. RJFJR he's bragging on Facebook about getting the page deleted. Rudy J Ferretti. Sprinter461 (talk) 16:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Its hard to respond when you speak in such generalities. I don't know who RJFJR is, I don't see a name like that mentioned anywhere here or the article's edit history. I don't know who this is, but we can't really control what happens off-Wikipedia, and it doesn't really factor into these discussions unless someone was inappropriately trying to recruit people to side with him in these discussions.
I'm also not sure what changes you're trying to make that keep getting removed. Is it the complete list of members? If so, it's probably right to be removed - empty lists with nothing other than names, and no real context/information on them in the way of descriptions or WP:WIKILINKs, are usually removed from lists in Wikipedia. If you're referring to something else, then you'll have to tell me specifically.
If you're unhappy that your changes keep on getting undone before you're finished, you can always copy the content to a WP:SANDBOX and then make the changes you want to make, and link us to it here or the talk page and have people discuss whether or not your proposed changes are appropriate. It's basically a little "rough draft" type area. Sergecross73 msg me 18:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This discussion and the page history seem to suggest some sort of edit war between advocates for the page and an anonymous user determined to remove changes they're making. Before any further action is taken, I suggest someone with the appropriate authority sort out the edit war.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 00:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one has edited the article in 5 days, so I don't really think there's anything to sort out there... Sergecross73 msg me 12:30, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The crux of the matter is whether or not the subject of the matter is noteworthy. The advocates of the page claim to be co-owners of the team. They claim to be neutral and only interested in preserving history. Their proof of notability is a series of links to paid blogs (of which they themselves are the authors), essentially turning this page into click-bait. Their attempt at preserving history is a thinly veiled attempt at promoting their own business interests. At least that is the distinct impression given.66.96.183.9 (talk) 14:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Sergecross73. Coverage in reliable sources is minimal and insignificant. Most of the "keep" arguments are not policy-based and amount to little more than WP:ILIKEIT and WP:ITEXISTS. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 00:15, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, because many false arguments are being used here:
- As stated by the nominator: "had a brief run of limited attention in the 80s, and nearly none since" -> the fact that there has been no recent attention is not ground for deletion, of course we also cover historal topics.
- As seen in older versions of the article (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=U.S._National_Video_Game_Team&oldid=73823534), this was covered by a significant number of reliable sources, e.g.:
  - CashBox Magazine, August 27, 1983
  - Chicago Suburban Tribune, August 24, 1983
  - RePlay Magazine, February 1, 1984
  - PlayMeter Magazine, March 1, 1984
  - Torrance Daily Breeze, Torrance, CA, July 12, 1987
- All of that information was removed at some point only because the links were no longer active. That is not an acceptable way of editing Wikipedia. We do not rely on whether information is available online at this moment, if there was sufficient coverage back then, this certainly should be sufficient ground to include the topic
- Yes, there seems to be edit warring over the article, and perhaps some of those involved have a COI. But, the article has existed since 2006 and has been edited by many editors since that time, most of which will not have had a COI. Edit warring is not grounds for deletion.

Delete. I would think if the topic was notable in the 70s there would at least be some mentions in newspapers from that time. But searches on Google Newspaper turn up only two mentions, both of them clearly trivial. I see it has been pointed out there were mentions in magazines from the 70s but is anyone in a position to say they are substantial coverage right now? Considering the number of voters above who clearly feel very strongly towards keeping the article, and the fact that almost no links or sources are being provided, I'm inclined to conclude that there simply is only trivial coverage. If more sources can be uncovered, the article can be recreated. FuriouslySerene (talk) 15:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to List of supercentenarians from the United States. From a pure headcount point of view, there's a pretty strong consensus that this should not exist as a standalone article. Several of those arguing to keep are either IP's with no editing history, or editors who have been around a while, but have been focused narrowly and exclusively on the topic of oldest people.

Shelby Harris[edit]

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

I think the consensus has been clear that someone who was the oldest person in the state of Illinois and third-oldest male is not sufficiently notable absent other WP:GNG information. Here, Harris is claimed to have been the oldest person in the state of Illinois (although this article puts him at oldest in US). Of the three sources, two are based on him getting his hometown key to the city and having his own day which is borderline significant while the third article is more like a WP:ROUTINE obituary.

Delete and redirect I've read all four "sources" carefully. There was some material in the article that appeared in none of the sources, including an assertion that he was "seemingly a lifelong Democrat" because he had voted for JFK and Barack Obama. There's nothing encyclopedic in this article. The subject fails to qualify as notable according to Wikipedia's definition of notability. Three birthday articles (one of which derives its facts from one of the others) and a obit do not amount to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of each other and of the subject. The only possible claim to notability is living a long time and that's just not enough to clear the hurdle for a stand-alone article, per WP:NOPAGE This should become a redirect to the list of oldest Americans.

Keep ... in Oldgeezer-opedia. Merge and redirect per 153.151.83.197 here. Being a supercentenarian is not enough in itself, as has been demonstrated over and over again by past Afd verdicts.

What you are saying does not hold true and is, in fact, an example of ageist-bias; there have been numerous supercentenarian articles over the past couple of weeks/months that have been kept, proving that age in itself can be notable. Present the facts as they are if you wish to hold a discussion that takes every aspect of the matter into account. Fiskje88 (talk) 10:28, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, that proves that some supercentenarians can pass WP:GNG on their own. Your argument is an absolute: the world's oldest will be automatically notable but there exists cases where it hasn't. The alternative is "the world's oldest person article is not per se notable based on them being the world's oldest person" which is why there's a debate. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't even been reading what I was saying; I was saying that some supercentenarians did pass an AfD nomination, as such pointing out that Clarityfiend had failed to acknowledge that part. Nothing absolute about that. Fiskje88 (talk) 21:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have. The comment was "Being a supercentenarian is not enough in itself, as has been demonstrated over and over again by past Afd verdicts." Your point that there exists discussions that were kept doesn't change that comment. Being a player who has played a single Tier 1 international soccer match is itself notable per WP:NFOOTY. It doesn't apply to supercentenarians at the moment as Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)#Add_longevity was declined. Make a proposal there if you'd like. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:38, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Different interpretation of the same thing; you could just as well say that being a supercentenarian is enough in itself, as numerous AfDs have been proven pointless.

Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. A case of WP:TOOSOON at best, would be notable if he plays for Johor Darul Ta'zim FC, but is not notable at the moment. Fenix down (talk) 10:09, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above, too soon, currently insufficient coverage in reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 18:11, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is particularly interesting. A company that appears totally un-notable, with most of the refs being basically mere notices in the usual bitcoin trade publication--but also a short article in the WSJr written by a regular member of the newspaper's staff, but being essentially just a PR announcement. Are they in the habit of republishing announcements of every new company formed in this area? Perhaps they are not quite as reliable a source for notability as we have thought.

Delete A couple of short paragraphs in one reliable source doesn't really meet the standard of extensive coverage. Nwlaw63 (talk) 17:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
