Keep She appears notable to me, and just because the article isn't well written or well referenced, there are other reliable sources available, like an article solely about her and her appointment to the NY Supreme Court in the NY Daily News.

Delete She is a local justice, not a member of the "New York Supreme Court", she is a New York City judge. One indepth article in a local paper is not enough to put her over the notability threshold.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. She is indeed on the NY Supreme Court, see [1], but New York has a rather ironic way of naming its courts. The so-called "supreme court" is actually just a trial court, the lowest level on the court hierarchy other than lowly municipal courts. It is what most states call "superior court" or "court of common pleas." What most states call the "Supreme Court", New York calls their "Court of Appeals"; that's the highest court in the state. And just to make it more confusing, what most states call the court of appeals (the intermediate appellate court), New York calls "Supreme Court, Appellate Division". Anyway, this all goes to say that being on the "supreme court" in New York means only that she's a plain old run-of-the-mill trial judge. Yes, she's had some notable litigants in front of her, but what judge hasn't? Notability is not inherited from the cases you try. TJRC (talk) 19:26, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not notable. However, the remark above by Michael White suggesting who might have written the article is inappropriate. Wikipedia strongly discourages insulting any living person here, and it is truly a violation of Wikipedia standards to try to "out" any Wikipedian. I hope he removes the remark. Here's from our etiquette section: "avoid the use of sarcastic language and stay cool.

Do not make unsourced negative comments about living people. These may be removed by any editor." VanEman (talk) 04:30, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- The page's creator's account is a single-purpose account editing this article and a handful of her clients, so it is indeed highly probably autobiographical, which is generally frowned upon and also often indicates a non-notable subject.

Delete Total lack of reliable third party sources to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:16, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete but draft-ify if anyone is willing to adopt it. BLPs really, really need to have sufficient reliable sources. This article currently has no sources (the one source specified is to Wikipedia itself, and thus invalid). This also means that, were this article to be kept, it ought to be stub-ified, since any claims are unreferenced. My problem is that I have a feeling that Hixxy might actually be notable. I found some information about him in a Google books listing for Drum n Bass The Rough Guide. I've also seen passing mention of him as "happy hardcore royalty" (for example, at this link). Lacking more proof, the article should be deleted; even with more a little more proof, virtually everything in the article should be deleted until sources can be found. If anyone is interested and knowledgable in the area, this would be a great time to request a move to draft space. Barring that, it's time to delete. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 23:25, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep per WP:SK#1. A valid rationale for deletion has not been presented. Per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is based upon source availability, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. Also, the page is presently not an unsourced BLP, nor was it at the time of the nomination (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:57, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Being a columnist for a major national newspaper is certainly a thing that should constitute sufficient notability in principle, though of course an article ultimately lives or dies on how much reliable source coverage can or cannot be found about her role as a columnist. I'm completely stymied by this, however — while she gets over 2,000 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database, I can find almost none in which she's the subject, rather than the bylined author, of the content. The fact that the subject is a journalist does not and cannot confer an exemption from having to be the subject of media coverage — a journalist does not get a freebie just because readers of the paper know her name from her own bylines, if other journalists haven't published stuff about her journalism career by which we can properly verify the content. And I'm just not finding any of that. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm finding a number of references in gBooks that focus on the wines and the winery rather than the namesake NASCAR driver-owner, such as this example.

Contested PROD. Concern was "Not a formal proposal, this is simply WP:CRYSTAL". None of the sources indicate that construction of this station (or even of this route) has been formally authorised. Of the six sources used as references, the first explicitly states "no final decisions have been made", and also says "if a decision is made to progress the scheme, and the necessary funding is secured"; the second states "The exact locations of the new stations ... are as yet undefined ... there could be two new stations along the Old Kent Road (option 1a) or new stations at Camberwell and Peckham Rye (option 1b)"; the third is about a petition; the fourth is about a disagreement between two local councils; the fifth is a dead link; the sixth is a press release about the publication of a summary report for the proposed route.

Merge to Bakerloo line extension. There is a serious possibility that the Bakerloo line extension will bring one or more tube stations to the Old Kent Road, and so the article about the extension should discuss the proposals for it/them. Equally the proposals mean that this is a likely search term, and so it should lead to our content on the subject. However, as all the proposals currently exist in the context of the extension and there is not enough firm to say about individual stations at this stage we only need the one article with redirects.

Comment for now -- Lots of books, but largest is 200 holdings in Worldcat, then 100, then in the 10s-20s; so not enough there. Books have attracted one review in JSTOR, in a journal that is of sufficient quality to add to the notion that this is an important book, but it is largely a negative review (Journal of African Studies, 2003), so does not help much for notability, considering that there are no followups. What seems to be the strongest pro-Keep argument is the headship of the Presbyterian church in London; but that might be deceiving -- Presbyterianism is not nearly so big in England as other English-speaking areas; so being the head of London might not be enough for a Keep. Would be good for someone with more domain knowledge about Presbyterianism or religious studies in Africa to weigh in. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 14:03, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I haven't actually read all of this discussion of Azumah's ideas, I haven't real him either. I argue merely that his work is being seriously engaged in serious places by serious people.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I do not pretend to have delved into the arguments Azumah makes, but scrolling past the first page in a google books search [10] it rapidly becomes clear that multiple authors have not merely cited, but discussed and engaged with Azumah's ideas at some length.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I consider that his output of publications is sufficient to merit retention. My initial reaction was the reverse.

Comment from nominator – of the four sources in the article, only one is directly about the subject; the other three are used to cite a statement that does not establish the notability of the subject. If the other version of the song is notable, the correct approach would be to create an article for that version of the song, not to keep this song.

Merge Even if this is notable, it is still just a cover of a song. We usually include this with the article on the original (if it is notable). In this example, There_She_Goes#Sixpence_None_the_Richer_version, the cover is notable, but it does not merit its own article. It should also be merged into the article about the album. Since it does not inherit notability from its parent, I don't see how it is notable on its own. The references given imply that the original is more notable, not the cover alone. -- RM 01:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails to meet WP:GNG, with no significant coverage in independent sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per the long-standing consensus surrounding WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I believe that secondary schools in India are just as notable as those in the US. WP:GEOBIAS is on show here. Please start nominating American schools not Indian ones constantly. AusLondonder (talk) 03:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it is a secondary school, AusLondonder. There's barely any material online to even confirm that exists, but the school's website features photos of infants, not teenagers. The bias here is against completely unsourced articles, not against articles about Indian schools. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The image used in the article suggests that the school is for infants through to 8th grade, implying that it is a primary school. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - The opening sentence describes the school as "Rapha International Secondary School", Cordless Larry. AusLondonder (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's not verified though, AusLondonder, as the article is completely unsourced. A bit of research using Google doesn't provide any support for this, and indeed suggests that it is a primary school. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to above. Photos of children don't conclusively show what kind of school it is. Indian secondary schools typically start at K-level. I found a link at Indiastudychannel.com indicating that the school is secondary, but I'm not sure whether the site's information is crowdsourced. • Gene93k (talk) 04:59, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not familiar with the American school system, Gene93k, so could you clarify what K-level is? I'm not sure whether that source is reliable. I found another source, which states that it is a kindergarten and primary school, but I doubt that it is reliable. In fact, I don't think there are any reliable, third-party sources online.

Comment. It says it's a secondary school on its website.[11] Its admissions page, however, says "Nursery to 8th",[12] which implies it's a primary and middle school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- That's an interesting find, Necrothesp. I don't think that site existed when this AfD started (it seems to have replaced this). The image on the admissions page was on the Wikipedia article before it was removed.

Keep. There is precedence for clubs with a more regional scope of notability located on the List of traditional gentlemen's clubs in the United States page. This group has a social and economic impact within a fairly substantial region of the country. Although this organization doesn't date back to antiquity, it is a very valid source of interest for a great number of people.66.193.17.93 (talk) 19:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC) 66.193.17.93 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 21:49, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This page is of great interest to those of us in the midwest and members of the creative community. The NS is actually something of an elitist club but is notorious for funding very elaborate installations in Columbus, Cleveland, Philly and Cleveland, while keeping their involvement very subtle. As mentioned above, not only is there precedence for regionalized organizations on the List of traditional gentlemen's clubs in the United States page, but Wikipedia is rife with very similar examples. To delete this burgeoning page would be a disservice to the community who has an interest in private clubs, such as this and as well, the creative community as a whole.2602:301:77F0:7350:106C:A277:ECEB:F1A6 (talk) 01:03, 13 April 2016 (UTC) 2602:301:77F0:7350:106C:A277:ECEB:F1A6 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 01:36, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Formal input below - brief note here that the problem is that no reliable source backs up any of these claims - not the claim it's elitist, not the claim it's notorious for funding very elaborate installations in Columbus, Cleveland, Philly and Cleveland, and not the claim for keeping their involvement very subtle. No sources, just original hearsay. FeatherPluma (talk) 03:19, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I for one am very interested in the subject of secretive clubs and am very interested to see how this page continues to develop. The page wasn't particularly well written but has more than enough merit on its face to remain live. And to cut directly to the chase, yes, I created this account specifically to comment on this page. Just because someone is new to a forum doesn't make their POV any less valid than any other. Frankly, the level of snobbery taking place here is shameful, although not wholly unexpected.Stop Fighting Trolls (talk) 01:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC) — Stop Fighting Trolls (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment - new users may be unaware that Wikipedia has specific rules for inclusion. In this case the relevant issue is that of "notability", that is, basically, coverage of the topic in independent sources. (There is more to it; please read the link I provided.) Can any of you arguing to keep this article point to such sources? If not, the article will be deleted. LadyofShalott 02:18, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There is more than enough precedence for the continued existence of this page and I believe the argument for the group's "notability" has been very well established by myself and others above. This page has already been shown to be of great interest regarding a notable and seclusive organization. Ashram321 (talk) 14:37, 13 April 2016 (UTC) — Ashram321 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — That is correct, Melcous (talk). I've decided to make a new profile for each page edit I make in order to prove this point. Again, "Just because someone is new to a forum doesn't make their POV any less valid than any other.

Comment Let me just make sure I understand this. "I've decided to make a new profile for each page edit I make in order to prove this point." By this admission, you are saying you are practicing in WP:SOCKPUPPETRY, which is highly frowned on, and could lead to your account be blocked for this. Also, doing this to show that there is more of a concensus to your viewpoint is cheating the system. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:30, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Absolutely not. I'm not pretending to be anyone else. It is just to prove the absurdity of the level of snobbery, bullying and trolling that takes place on WP's back end. So much for 2 of the 5 pillars upon which Wikipedia claims to operate. (Neutral POV & Civility) Rather than being a neutral place for information and learning, unfortunately pages like this are looking more and more like the comments section of a cheap YouTube video. Ashram321 (talk) 16:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just to make things clear, I wasn't trying to break any Wikipedia policies. I was just trying to create a page (mind, my first page) regarding a group which I find fascinating and about which little information is available, likely by design. The group does have a very notable presence in the midwest region of the country and within the creative community. And the reasons given above, in favor of this page continuing are very compelling. I'm sure that if this page were to be left active, it would soon grow in both content and more verifiable references. Whereas, if it were to be deleted, the little information that does exist publicly about this group would have no place to coalesce. (Perhaps, this is also by design...) That being said, I do believe strongly that this page deserves to remain active and I greatly appreciate the support but I really don't want anyone to be harassed or to lose their accounts over this. TimeKiller321 (talk) 17:23, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - policy-based decision-making here is quite clear - this is not a notable topic, as defined by the guidelines: the single potentially relevant reference that would help notability is a non-specific link to a portal page, is attached to bizarre article text claims, and does not show up on a site-specific secondary search of the portal page. A further search using the usual tools comes up empty. FeatherPluma (talk) 23:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article says he played for professional clubs in Indonesia, and Bahrain, which, if true, would give him inherent notability. However, the infobox shows he never played for them. It's possible author just didn't add that to the infobox, but it's also possible he signed for the teams and never played for them. Could someone with more knowledge of the Indonesian and Bahrainian leagues look into this? Smartyllama (talk) 18:39, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article shows him playing for a club in the Indonesia Super League which is fully professional. At least I think it does. The translation wasn't very good, but it appears he played in a game for them, the text is right, and the infobox is wrong. Therefore, he has inherent notability. Smartyllama (talk) 18:55, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: However ... if you read that article, it doesn't describe a regular season match for the senior club (which would be notable), but something called the "Bhayangkara Cup." This isn't even a league cup (such as the Piala Indonesia, Indonesian Community Shield or the Indonesian Inter Island Cup) but is apparently an exhibition competition, of the sort that academy players, loaners and folks far down the roster often play, and which isn't commonly held to support notability. It's mentioned in neither the ISL article, the Football in Indonesia article, or in the numerous competitions listed on the Football in Indonesia template. I'd like to see some evidence that the subject has played for the first division team in league or league cup competition, or else that he has international caps.

Keep - I have done a bit of research and I now believe the singer to be notable enough. She has a good amount of coverage in various news sources that are used to reference many other articles here. She has also contributed to a sound track for a documentary. The original problem with the article in question is like some of the others here that are put together without the proper referencing and sourcing. I've spent a couple of hours working to improve the article. I'll do some more till I think it doesn't need any more. Karl Twist (talk) 11:03, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment @Karl Twist: Thanks for finding more sources. Unfortunately, all of the coverage is either of the local variety (Grace is from Winona, Minnesota, and many of the sources are from Winona media) or is not significant coverage (press releases, festival lineups, etc). I don't see any significant evidence of anything more than local celebrity in the sources you've found. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:11, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Move to Draft instead as I've been watching the AfD and believe this may be best until there are better improvements. SwisterTwister talk 01:56, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, I think that the article as it is can attract others to improve. That's another reason why it should be kept. There are many Christian publications that are not available online that could have her in them. Often an article when kept active will prompt others to remember articles that they have read in books and magazines. OK, I'm speculating here on this one about what may be in print. But, in other articles I have seen references that are not yet accessible on line. Just hang out at the library on a Saturday afternoon and you'll see what I mean. I'd say that Amanda Grace is in at least 6 that are not yet accessible on line. I still maintain the singer is notable enough to have an article. Deleting it will slow down the chances of prompting others to delve into books and mags I believe. Thanks. Karl Twist (talk) 11:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment @Karl Twist: You're relying on the fact that sources might appear. Whether that is true or not, we must judge the article on the basis of the sources that are available. If we let this article remain, poorly sourced as it is, then it will fall off the radar and could remain for years as a poorly sourced article, which would call into question why bother having an AFD process at all? The project has guidelines, and articles must meet the guidelines. In this case, if sources are found in the future, then the article can be resurrected, but for now, it should not be allowed to remain. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I believe the article to be notable enough. It makes the grade so to speak. But for those who are strict with these articles (And we do need strict folk), the longer the article stays, the more it is bound to improve and will statisfy those with the strictest views on what should and shouldn't stay.

Delete. Relies too much on hyper local coverage that is indiscriminate. Playing in a local café is nothing special. Not enough outside that. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply : Duffbeerforme, yes there is a lot of local coverage. That can't be helped. She has a high profile in her state. You say "Playing in a local café is nothing special". Well, that may be so, but she has played a lot of other places. That was just one of the many venues she has played in. BTW: Her single "Los Angeles" was in the Top Five of the Upcoming100.com’s "Emerging Artists" category[14]. Thanks. Karl Twist (talk) 09:36, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BADCHARTS. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:30, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Duffbeerforme: To be fair, Upcoming100.com is not on the WP:BADCHARTS list. Perhaps it should be? In any case, according to the cited source, Upcoming100.com's "Emerging Artists" chart is essentially a popularity contest among the website's visitors to see which emerging (read non-notable) artist should be included in their Upcoming 100 chart. The contest allows the artists to bypass the normal requirements for sales volume. Nothing in this description smacks of "notable". WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:05, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Duffbeerfomre, She was televised in California, appeared on a local station there, being interviewed. (BTW: Sorry about your sig. Not sure what happened there, possibly when I went to C&P your name. That was strange) And again I say that the Local café is just one of the many venues this artist has played in.

Grace Alekhine[edit]

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

Though she is the wife of a notable chess player, notability is not contagious and Ms. Alekhine is not notable of her own accord. She was mentioned in two reliable sources as an above-average painter, but I would disagree that such coverage could be called "significant", and she appears not to have done much else with herself after those mentions. Besides those two sources, the article's references consist largely of genealogy links, which do not establish notability, and sources about her husband.

Comment. The subject seems to have had a somewhat notable career as an artist under her birth name, which should therefore also be searched on - (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). Her artistic career seems to have been at its height between 1903 and 1914 - she was best known as a painter of theatrical scenery, but was also a miniaturist who exhibited at the Salon de Paris at least twice. Also, she was in her late 50s when she married Alekhine, and seems to have had three or four husbands before him - I have not traced any further sources under any of these names, but they may exist. She definitely has some notabiliity independently of Alekhine, though, on what I have seen so far, I feel unable to come up with a definite !vote either way yet.

It does not get a Wikipedia article just because primary and directly affiliated sources or passing and trivial mentions verify that it exists. None of the sources in the articles pass muster and nothing like substantial coverage in multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the subject can be found on Google either - all I get are primary sources, press releases, passing mentions and the like - I'm not finding good, reliable sources where the company is the subject of the coverage. The company's automatic speech-to-text transcription software on the other hand might meet the inclusion criteria if it has been covered in depth in independent research papers in academic journals. So delete this article about the company without prejudice to an article being created about the software if good, reliable source coverage about it is brought forward.

Finally, if any of those who have argued to keep the article are employees of the company or have a close affiliation with it, then you should know that you have a conflict of interest, which is strongly discouraged as it undermines public confidence in Wikipedia and risks causing public embarrassment to the companies (or individuals) being promoted. You must disclose your conflict of interest on your user page and during any discussion about the topic, including this one. You can do this now. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Independent notability is given by the independence of the center. Even though it is established as a central facility of the university in terms of teaching, it has the status of an independent research center which is organised in the national Bernstein Network (hence the name). Independence is further established by third-party funding. MichaelVeit1987 (talk) 12:57, 7 April 2016 (UTC+1) — MichaelVeit1987 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I would also vote to keep the article. Integration into the page University of Freiburg may not be a viable option as there is no place in the current structure to include information on Freiburg research centers that are affiliated to the university (of which there are several). Centers like the Berstein Center Freiburg (BCF) act with a great deal of independence when it comes to research. Just adding their content to the University of Freiburg article may seem irrelevant to most people reading about the university. On the other hand, as a person interested in the research center BCF, I would not be looking for it under the university entry. I believe the proper way to do it would be a very short paragraph in the university article with a link to the main article on the BCF.

Delete – Some odd comments above. @MichaelVeit1987: the point here is to determine independent notability, not factual independence.

List of the tallest buildings in Wisconsin[edit]

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

I don't think a "List of the tallest buildings in Wisconsin" is a large enough topic to be listed in an encyclopedia. Wisconsin is a relatively small state and only three buildings have been added to this list (I assume no more will be added). Also, there are no references. — Music1201 ^talk 23:32, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete List of tallest buildings in Milwaukee covers the topic of tall buildings in Wisconsin well enough; Madison is height-restricted due to the Wisconsin State Capitol, and outside of there and Milwaukee the tallest building is usually either a bank or hotel in a Wisconsin city.

Redirect [to older, more complete List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin that was found by User:Jay. Changed from "Keep"], as the topic of "List of tallest buildings in STATE" is valid for any state, unless there is some clear standard, although it would also be fine to merge this to a Wisconsin section in a combo list, say something like "List of tallest buildings in the United States by state" (distinct from List of tallest buildings by U.S. state which gives just one per state). Fix its grammar and tag it for more references, sure, but we don't need separate AFDs for lots of separate members of Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States. --do ncr am 16:34, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete, this is a valid search term and there is content available for it, so it should lead readers to that content. It could be redirected to a long list by state, be redirected to the Milwaukee list, or the Milwaukee list could be moved to this title. Siuenti (talk) 12:07, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~Redirect per JayJay, below. I agree with Doncram and Matchups on this one. From an encyclopedic point of view, our goal here should be to have some kind of referenced list for every state. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Redirect as below – Plausibly useful list with objective selection criteria. Obviously it's going to overlap with the Milwaukee one, but they are separate topics and WP:NOTPAPER applies. Does need improvement, as doncram says (maybe a dedicated "outside Milwaukee" section), but that can be dealt with at the article. —Nizolan ^(talk) 01:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Did anyone care to see if there was a similar article pretty much the same as this one. I did and there is, the title is similar. Article name is List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin. I suggest redirecting to that article JayJay^{What did I do?} 01:48, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I did look, but for whatever reason I didn't find it. Thank you. I agree that the existing article is superior, and have changed my !vote accordingly. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch User:Jay, but the 2015-created List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin was not in categories where it should have been, where I looked and User:Arxiloxos probably did too. Its only category was Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Wisconsin. It should also have been in Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States. (The Alabama one is in Category:Skyscrapers in Alabama, Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States, Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Alabama) while some others, like the Kansas one, had only the "Lists of buildings and structures in STATE" category.) It was perhaps not found by User:Listmaker319, who created the new one created recently that is subject of this AFD, for the same reason. The new one was not put into any categories at all. (It happens to anyone, that we create an article and later find that the topic exists under a different name. But Listmaker319, please make a point of adding appropriate categories to any new lists that you make! Doing so might help you find your way to pre-existing lists....in this case you might have found the pre-existing one in Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Wisconsin...and you would have redirected your new list, yourself, avoiding this AFD.) I am going to add categories now. --do ncr am 15:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, agreed on both counts. Changed !vote accordingly. —Nizolan ^(talk) 04:32, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: to User:Listmaker319, User:Grayamari, User:MainlyTwelve and others, there is need for Lists of tallest buildings in the United States by state (currently a redlink), different than List of tallest buildings by U.S. state, to link to the state lists like the navigation template ((US tallest buildings lists by state)) does. That list is needed so it can be included into template ((Template:US tallest buildings lists)). And there are other states where the state lists are needed, as can be seen by review of what's linked in template ((US tallest buildings lists by state)):

"Alaska" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Anchorage, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Alaska (which is currently a redlink)
"Arizona" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Phoenix, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Arizona (which is currently a redlink)
"Arkansas" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Little Rock, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Arkansas (which is currently a redlink)
California and Connecticut are okay already
"Delaware" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Wilmington, Delaware, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Delaware (which is currently a redlink)
etc.

Hope this helps! --do ncr am 16:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It was a major news story, notability is Not Temporary as mentioned above. Smartyllama (talk) 15:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the subject of this article only seems to be known for one thing (i.e. going AWOL with a wpn in 2007 and being arrested), hence, WP:BLP1E per the nomination. Just because it was a major news story 9 years ago in one small part of the world (i.e. Singapore) does not mean he meets the notability standards of an encyclopedia with a global scope. All the references seem to be local news items from 2007-08 so I can't see any evidence that this has resulted in significant and lasting coverage per WP:SIGCOV. If there was more recent international coverage in non-news sources maybe, but there really is very little available, therefore not "broad coverage" at all. Claims of "WP:NOTTEMPORARY" are wrong-headed as he wasn't notable by our standards in 2007, and he still isn't notable in 2016. That is not to say that the incident doesn't have its place on Wikipedia though, as it would seem to me that a short summary could be included at National service in Singapore. As such a merge and redirect to this article could be a viable alternative to outright deletion. Anotherclown (talk) 06:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talking about "one small part of the world" and asking for "international coverage" seems like WP:BIAS to me, fwiw. The Straits Times (syndicated on asiaone) is Singapore's newspaper of record and therefore national rather than local in scope. It was covered regionally: here's a Chinese article on sina.com half a year after the event; in fact there's a reference to him almost a decade after the event in Vietnamese here (not a significant reference in itself but indicative of continuing notability in view of the range of feature-length articles). There's an article on him on a major Singaporean Buzzfeed-style website (cite) almost a decade after the event here, which even states that "anyone who has been through NS in the army would know about Dave Teo". NOTTEMPORARY is relevant since part of the reason it's difficult to find English sources now is just link rot; the Straits Times archives from 2007–8 don't seem to be available, for instance, though there are still snippets available online. But decade-long coverage should easily meet the requirement of persistency in BLP1E. Most Singaporeans know about this person; he's more than an everyday criminal news event. —Nizolan ^(talk) 07:33, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BLP1E: this person is known only for a single incident, and it wasn't even a particularly significant one. Nick-D (talk) 08:05, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: While I can see a lot of work has been done to fully reference the article for which its editors should be commended, I really don't think the subject is notable enough for a stand alone biography article. Would such an individual be covered in a biographical encyclopedia (for instance, does Singapore have an equivalent of Who's Who, such as the New Zealand Dictionary of Biography or the Australian Dictionary of Biography? If so, would they qualify for appearance in that? If not, then I suggest perhaps we are reaching in our inclusion.) The subject appears to have received quite a bit of coverage in the context of that one incident, but otherwise they will likely remain a low profile individual. As such, it seems to me like BLP1E applies here, although as Anotherclown suggests perhaps the topic could be covered as a small part in a wider article (if a suitable one is agreed upon, and obviously being careful not to breach WP:UNDUE). Beyond this, surely the other consideration is the subject's privacy and not impacting upon their ability to rehabilitate on release. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:07, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename. The incident is notable and meets WP:GNG. Rename this article to something like "Dave Teo AWOL incident", to reduce its biographical focus. SSTflyer 05:32, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is essentially a news item, see WP:NOTNEWS. Incidents or offenses of this sort happen all over the world all the time and the media cover them; that's their job, not ours. But I don't see the lasting importance of this event for Singapore, its military or anybody else that would justify article-level coverage in an encyclopedia. Sandstein 09:55, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - although the work done on this article is to be commended, I feel that this is essentially a news item.
