Similarly to Media hegemony by the same editor, this essay-like article suggests it is a college piece rather than intended to be an encyclopedia article.

Of interest: A celebrated decade-long defamation case centered around the plaintiff's allegation that he could no longer get dinner reservations at this club, and ultimately had to resign, because of a newspaper's report that he was being investigated for ties to organized crime; at one point a judge awarded the plaintiff $3.5 million in damages for this loss, but a later judge threw out the case as unproved.

• Keep. Notable: there's coverage about it. I don't know if this speaks to what the deletion nominator dislikes, but it's broadly unfair, one could argue, that hifalutin' clubs and clubhouses (such as the West End Wheelmen's Club also in Wilkes-Barre, get listed as historic buildings and get coverage and get Wikipedia articles. That's how the world works in general though; there is a built-in bias of coverage toward the richer, dominant class of people and less coverage to lower-class. The U.S. National Register of Historic Places makes some effort to encourage listing of historic sites of under-represented groups, but still.

Comment: None of these sources help due to the fact that they are scandal-mongering about rich politicians.

I went through and clean-up the article - adding or modifying content based upon the sources. I am only comfortable with the charities section - and I could find no news sources for that content.

The information about the company comes from essentially a primary source. There's no good content about the company - and I could quickly tell that it was going to take a lot of searching to be able to piece together an article. I moved uncited content to the talk page - along with other questions.

Local coffeehouse, no coverage external to local Baltimore papers. Lacks significant coverage in this regard. (?) czar 18:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This coffeehouse is notable due to its extremely rare existence as an Anarchist collective in business. There are companies in existence which practice Anarchist economics where owners and workers are not held separate. Such companies are somewhat more common in the Latin America though, despite legal challenges. Ceosad (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with the latter, but for the former, sources? Right now, it's all local to Baltimore, like I can find for any major coffeehouse in any major city. czar 00:03, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In addition of the sources given by Oakshade, the Baltimore magazine has written in-depth about the coffee house for multiple times. See this and this. This book is about anarchist enterprises and it mentions Red Emma's. Ceosad (talk) 00:53, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The Baltimore Sun, Next City (which is not local to Baltimore) and Baltimore City Paper have very in-depth coverage of this place.[9][10][11][12] As far as citing the essay - not policy or guideline - WP:LOCAL, even if it was all "local" coverage (it isn't) it's completely subjective as to what a reader outside a locale of a topic will find encyclopedic. I've never lived anywhere near Baltimore and I know of this place as it attracts nationally and internationally renowned authors, academics and others as speakers. Even the national guide published by The Nation, The Nation Guide to the Nation, goes into detail of it.[13] --Oakshade (talk) 22:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LOCAL, even if it was all "local" coverage (it isn't) it's completely subjective as to what a reader outside a locale of a topic will find encyclopedic

Not really—extra-local coverage is an easy indicator of non-local notability. See Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Audience. LOCAL just explains it in more detail. czar 13:34, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cherry-picking a clause buried in a single guideline page that contradicts both letter and spirit of our major guidelines such as WP:GNG is a classic case of WP:GAMETYPE. Even if we were to entertain such a specific sentence it states "at least one regional, statewide" source counts. The Baltimore Sun is one of the nation's regional newspapers with subcribership in multiple states, beyond just statewide Maryland, with bureaus in Washington, DC and Philadelphia. [14] --Oakshade (talk) 16:26, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please. LOCAL says it descends from AUD. You didn't like the essay, so have the guideline. You can't have it both ways. The point is that the coverage should be known outside the locality, such as a coffeehouse being the center of a movement or for having nationally renowned goods. In both cases, the sources would assert as much. I don't see the other links amounting to more than routine coverage of a specialty shop. czar 16:55, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please, if you want to get all WP:LAWYER and continue WP:GAMETYPE, even the essay WP:LOCAL and the sub-clause of the sub-guideline WP:AUD explain that the coverage audience can be regional and the coverage in this case is beyond regional. WP:ROUTINE defines coverage as "such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism" which of course the coverage of this topic is beyond the scope of. --Oakshade (talk) 20:46, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure you know what those things mean because you're doing more of them yourself... The spirit of the audience guideline is really straightforward: that beyond the local coverage—the coverage that you would expect a city's coffeehouse to get in newspapers related to the city—there needs to be external coverage. You could argue (I think incorrectly) that the external coverage is significant, but instead you're somewhere in the weeds in how Baltimore papers are really regional and how the letter of the policy technically allows them (lawyering). In practice, I don't think there is any dispute that Baltimore papers should be held apart for this discussion. Then we're left with the sources that remain, and they are much more sparse than they have been puffed up to be. I went through them below. I encourage you to make your point at AfD and add little else—the endless personal accusations are inflammatory and unhelpful. czar 15:54, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as I concur with the nomination, this is simply one local company who has local news stories and attention, none of it establishes anything else but a local tourist guides for locally known business which violates WP:NOT policy, and it allows us to remove anything unsuitable and this is, since everything is literally trivial and unconvincing, especially since this still all is founded in local news stories. None of that is actual substance and ee should not mistake it as otherwise. Once we start becoming a YellowPages business guide, we're damned, regardless of anything else.

As it is, this article itself cares to specify only information suitable for their own company 'About Us" hence also emphasizing the WP:NOT policy concerns. Anything trivial such as "It satisfies WP:BASIC or WP:GNG" means nothing because that's actually one of the foundations of Wikipedia. "Wikipedia is not a business PR webhost" and there's nothing to suggest exceptions here. SwisterTwister talk 01:18, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no argument here to demonstrate WP:NOT is a reason to delete an article that passes our fundamental notability guidelines such as GNG. Never have I seen a user type, "It satisfies WP:BASIC or WP:GNG" means nothing." Coverage has been shown to be non-trivial, adhering to the essay WP:LOCAL and there's zero evidence provided that this article is just "suitable for their own company".

• Keep Unique business with a strong claim of notability backed up by appropriate reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 19:56, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Unique" is not what gets notability or anything close to it (in that case, there would be hundreds of thousands of "unique companies"; also, the sources are simply news stories including from its own local publications, that shows nothing else but local interests, not actual notability in an encyclopedia; and it certainly is not convincing otherwise in the fact it currently exists only for "local tourist guides". SwisterTwister talk 20:45, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this wasn't a notable business, then it wouldn't have received significant coverage by multiple reliable sources and passing WP:GNG. And some sources in the article that is their own publications doesn't magically mean the significant coverage from independent sources don't exist anymore. --Oakshade (talk) 01:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This business/organization does not get its notability solely from being a "unique" coffeehouse. There is a wide coverage about it being an "infoshop", and thus having a role in American (grassroots) politics. Red Emma's seems to be considered as a well known case of such organization. Some additional references are here and here. See also the source I linked earlier. There are various academic sources that mention Red Emma's, and they are not just "local tourist guides". Ceosad (talk) 13:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those two extra links fit the definition of passing mentions, and the third is indeed a local tourist guide. If it's used for significant coverage, then it follows that most other entries in the guide are notable too, but we know that they (as well) are not. czar 16:55, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those two extra links in which one of them is more than a "passing mention" are in addition to the in-depth significant coverage on this topic, thus even further establishing notability. --Oakshade (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There's coverage. It's relatively unique and interesting, too. Note, even if it were not individually notable, "Delete" would be the wrong decision as a good wp:ATD would remain: merging to List of independent bookstores in the United States would be superior, saving the edit history at the redirect left behind and enabling re-creation of the article with more material. Why are there so many AFDs when decent alternatives-to-deletion exist? --doncram 16:53, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Search more broadly to find more sources not yet in article, i.e. try Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL, yielding:
• this in Baltimore Sun in 2016 about minimum wage
• this in 2014 Baltimore Magazine
• this in 2016 Johns Hopkins Magazine (if this is the alumni magazine of JHU, it is most definitely a national, not local, source
• this at MHPBooks.com
• this at PublishersWeekly.com, sounds not local to me.

I'll stop with those. There's lots of coverage. It's notable. --doncram 17:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Source review. As the same links, previously discussed, are being reposted, I'd like to recap the coverage unturned. (1) A variety of local news from local Baltimore papers (local coffeeshop opens new location, is rated best in the area, etc.) and a local travel guide. (Yes, Johns Hopkins is local to Baltimore too.) This is the regular coverage we would expect any city coffeehouse to get from its local papers/guide—we don't create articles on recommended coffeehouses in every city of the world, only those with external coverage with which we can write an article. (2) Limited coverage from papers outside Baltimore—best of which is the Next City article on co-ops, but the rest are passing mentions or nothing with enough depth to write a detailed article (such as the Nation blurb, infoshop links). The Publisher's Weekly short article about the store opening during the Freddie Gray protests doesn't have enough meat for more than a sentence and the Melville House article is a retread (MH is a publisher, not the same editorial process). A pile of mentions in a Google Books link does not make significant coverage under the GNG. You would need to show what exactly outside papers have said in depth about this place in order to warrant writing an article about it. If all we've got is that it does things for Baltimore and is an example of a co-op, we're looking more at a redirect to an article about prominent co-ops than a separate article on a bookshop. czar 15:54, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is irritating to be dismissed like this. It seems to me that the deletion nominator is FALSE in their assertion that the links are the same as previously discussed. The links are not the same as earlier posted by Oakshade, anyhow.

And statement that "Johns Hopkins is local to Baltimore too" is useless. What I said was, if JHU Magazine is its alumni magazine, then it is a national (in fact it is an international) magazine, which is a true fact. --doncram 23:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. for promotionalism. This is a clear G11, though I'm reluctant to use it this far into the discussion. Notability is irrelevant when an article is added for the purpose of advertising, or of promoting the views of the organization. Sympathy with their views is irrelevant. Propaganda for worthy causes is no concern of an encyclopedia . If the organization were very highly notable it might be worth rewriting, but this is at most borderline. DGG ( talk ) 06:40, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like the article was started with the purpose of advertising. It was created in 2005 by User:Nihila who is no longer active but mostly had edits to radicalism-related articles and who's brief history doesn't seem to indicate they were a promoter/advertiser of some kind nor connected to this topic. Through the next 11 years it has mostly been edited and expanded by the typical mix of established editors and some IPs. If somebody at some point in those 11 years added promotional elements, that can can be corrected through regular editing and doesn't change the significant coverage demonstrating passing WP:GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 07:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The coverage cited demonstrates that GNG and WP:ORG are satisfied. I am not impressed by DGG's claim that the article must be deleted despite coverage satisfying GNG because "Notability is irrelevant when an article is added for the purpose of advertising, or of promoting the views of the organization."

  • Wikipedia:Five pillars, first pillar. The Banner talk 00:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how this article could be considered advertising since it has been clearly started for good faith reasons, as Oakshade already pointed out above. There is no reason to keep repeating these same old arguments for over and over again. Yes, the article is crappy and badly written but AfD is not cleanup. See WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:GOODFAITH. Ceosad (talk) 00:56, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again WP:NOT applies because it explicitly states "Wikipedia is not a sales catalogue, tourist or local guide or webhost of services", and the fact this article cares to go to specifics about amenities and what you can get "services" there, that's best for only their own websites or local advetisements, not an actual encyclopedia. WP:NOT is the highest that policy can get and we use said policy every day, so anything else means nothing. SwisterTwister talk 01:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again you haven't given a convincing argument of demonstrating that WP:NOT means this article that easily passes WP:GNG has to be deleted. As with any article, any advertisement element that some user over the years might have added can be corrected through regular editing. As Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which is also policy, states, if regular editing can improve a page then that should be done instead of deletion. In this case, Siankevans has already made improvements removing what looks like advertising elements during this AfD. Just repeating you think WP:NOT means this article should be deleted isn't going to change anything--Oakshade (talk) 03:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the significant coverage provided by Oakshade (talk · contribs). The significant coverage in The Nation Guide to the Nation published by Vintage Books demonstrates that Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse has received nonlocal coverage. Per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Surmountable problems and Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required, that the article has some surmountable defects does not mean it should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 06:33, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOT still applies in that this is still a business listing and as was suggested earlier (thus "perfection is not required!" means nothing when this is and solely exists as advertising), the company itself is in fact asking for help about this article, so notability honestly be damned, as WP:NOT is specifically essential when the company itself is footing advertising.

Sorry but this article was not created as "footing advertising" and most certainly our policies of Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required and Wikipedia:Deletion policy apply to all articles. "WP:NOT" aren't magic letters you can summons to delete articles you don't like or just because at some point over an 11 year existence somebody might have added verbiage that you interpret as advertising, which you've offered zero case that this was created as such in this entire Afd. --Oakshade (talk) 07:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is this topic having received significant coverage from multiple national and regional sources not pass WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH?

Promo sampling: "The space also provides free computer access to the Baltimore community, wireless internet and a variety of socially aware and radical events including film screenings, political teach-ins, and community events." (right out of a sales brochure), "Collective meetings are open to the public every Sunday (except the first of the month) at 7pm at the store." (blatant advertising), "The classes are taught along the principles of "horizontal organizing, collaborative learning and participatory education", and it's guaranteed that the teachers are not "y'know, fascists", etc., as well as phrases like "stringent academic tradition". And then I'm done discussing. You've made your point, I've made mine. Put the stick down. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:03, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think hat sources exist offline since the company has 0 reception and the article and as well as the companies history (can be found on their page) do not give any indication that some coverage may have been occurred in the past.

Delete Non-Notable. Fails WP:NACTOR --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 02:56, 4 November 2016 (UTC

• Keep Lytess was best known as an acting coach, not as an actor, so our notability guideline for actors does not apply. A simple Google Books search shows that Lytess is discussed in dozens of books about Marilyn Monroe and Hollywood of the late 1940s and early 1950s. The article can be improved and should not be deleted. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:40, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: " A simple Google Books search shows that Lytess is discussed in dozens of books about Marilyn Monroe and Hollywood of the late 1940s and early 1950s" -- that sounds like she derived any claim to notability almost entirely based on a purportedly intimate, never acknowledged, relationship with another party, failing the threshold for notability. The Lytess article should be SALTed and any mention of Lytess should be to the Monroe article and limited strictly to sourced facts, not speculative innuendo. To quote one of these transom peering displays of journalistic priorities:
"Lytess claimed Monroe was 'always naked' in the house but 'hated sex'" and "author Lois Banner wrote: 'Natasha and Marilyn lived together as husband and wife, although Marilyn often simply wanted to be held.'" (see here) -- so Monroe was an asexual lesbian and Lytess her frustrated (in more than one sense, apparently) Svengali?
(NOTE: This should be stricken by the closing admin.) Quis separabit? 12:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as "Lytess was best known as an acting coach" -- can you name me any of her other clients? She certainly was not a particularly successful one based upon any evaluation of the metrics of her brief U.S. career, which is not to say she had no talent or that her early demise from cancer is anything less than tragic but editors shoudl see where I am headed with this. Quis separabit? 12:57, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply to Quis separabit?: I mentioned actual books as future sources for the article, and certainly support removing the Daily Mail from the article, as well as any unproven speculation that Lytess and Monroe had an active sexual relationship. There are things that are clear from a quick review of over a dozen biographes of Monroe as well as biographies of Joe Dimaggio and Otto Preminger: Lytess was a major influence on Monroe for about seven years. They shared a home for several months. Lytess was on movie sets during shoots and several famous directors actively resented her influence. Many Monroe biographies devote dozens of pages to a detailed ongoing portrayal of their relationship. Although it is clear that Lytess was sexually attracted to Monroe, it is far from clear that those feelings were reciprocated. There is one well-known quote by Monroe to the contrary. At least one source mentions that Lytess coached other Hollywood starlets. As for success, she coached one of the most famous movie stars in history for seven years. In conclusion, this biography should be built by summarizing what the highest quality book sources say, while excluding tabloid-style sensationalism, whether in newspaper, magazine or book form. I am prepared to begin that work but am deterred by an appeal to salt the topic. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:59, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep clearly passes WP:GNG In ictu oculi (talk) 08:14, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Lytess was at least modestly notable as an acting coach, and an important figure in Monroe's biography. Invocations of potential "libel" here are inappropriate, since everyone involved is dead; editors can use the usual processes to decide by consensus what to include and what to exclude, and there is sufficient legitmate material in reliable sources to sustain a biographical article. I don't think deleting this article and excluding verifiable content would be beneficial to the encyclopedia. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:12, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a collection of every sketch Monty Python ever produced. Unlike, say, the Argument Clinic, this article is largely unsourced and basically completely the wrong way to write something on Wikipedia, trying to cover an off-hand silly sketch in serious encyclopedic detail. I'm not convinced about a redirect or merge to any other article (per this discussion), other than retaining a brief entry in Bishop (disambiguation) referring to List of Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes, which doesn't affect this article being deleted.

• Delete: You really got my hopes up with that first blue link. I was hoping there was an essay dedicated specifically to fighting the meticulous cataloging of Monty Python sketches. I guess our own input will have to do. This sketch is not notable for lack of significant, independent coverage. Wikipedia is not TVGuide. Jergling (talk) 20:22, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, no independent notability. Bondegezou (talk) 14:28, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There is significant coverage in sources such as If You Like Monty Python which describes it as "one of their more memorable sketches", Monty Python's Flying Circus and All the bits. The Python oeuvre is covered as extensively as the Bible or Shakespeare and so deletion is quite inappropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 21:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you give details and add citations to the article if possible? If You Like Monty Python only appears to have one paragraph on it, which hardly satisfies WP:GNG. Bondegezou (talk) 14:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I could but you'll have to pay for another five minutes. In the meantime, here's a link to a general survey which is worth noting for the next one of these perennial events.

The principal difference between this article and Argument Clinic is that the latter cites sources that do not have Monty Python as their main topic, indicating that the sketch is known and talked about independently of its origin, making it a genuinely notable topic for an encyclopedia. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:24, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Genuine notability? Well, I'm afraid we don't get much call for it round these parts, sir. We only have the ordinary sort. With no shrubberies. Andrew D. (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes#4. The Buzz Aldrin Show (or: An Apology) (and by all means add an entry in the disambig page). Even judging by the mentions discovered by Andrew Davidson, I'd maybe expect Monty Python's "most memorable" sketches to have a write up, but not their "more memorable" ones. Despite having watched much Monty Python, this sketch doesn't register to me. Sionk (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Surely there is only one Monty Python Sketch which is "Most memorable", even though there might be different opinions as regards which sketch this might be. Thus such a page would require listing the variety of sources which have provided claims for this or that sketch as warranting this title. Although it would be impossible for Wikipedia to definitively determine which sketch actually is the most memorable, we could summarise the evidence and discuss the different methodologies by which the claims have been made. No doubt we might find the odd pedant who argues that as the "most memorable" sketch is essentially unknowable, that in fact all the contenders for the title could only ever be verified as being "more memorable", in that although in principal it might be possible to compare the memorability of individual Monty Python sketches, and thus establish some are more memorable than others, or in fact that all the known sketches are actually more memorable than the unmemorable ones which no-one actually remembers, and thus the matter can simply be resolved by having [[Category:Monty Python sketches]] rather than pusuing a line of enquiry which gets too silly.Leutha (talk) 22:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect is appropriate here. It really does not meet our notability guidelines. The suggestion that "The Python oeuvre is covered as extensively as the Bible or Shakespeare" is one of the most inappropriate comments that I have ever read.

• Keep I have added some further information and references to the article. This school opened relatively recently and so, for example, a commendation of the architecture was reported only two weeks ago. Of some significance, it is a newly-built gaelic medium education school in a country where this language had suffered a decline that had almost been terminal. Some of the coverage of this school is in local newspapers, although articles in the Stornoway Gazette and The Oban Times are examples of local papers based in areas that are beyond where the school itself is located. There are a couple of articles about the school that were published in the Press & Journal, which is a regional newspaper title. There are multiple articles about this school that were published on the BBC News website, a national source of news. This coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources satisfies WP:NSCHOOL.

No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:56, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki now appears to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Site is a FCC Licensed broadcaster in historic city with 50,000 residents. Wiki has "Significant coverage"; "Reliable" and verifiable sources include the federal government and photos; "Secondary sources" used through the article and listed in sources; "Independent of the subject" content; therefore it is "Presumed" that the wiki should remain and not be deleted. "TelcoTodd" (talk) 16:03, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The references cited in the "Sources" section of the article are (1) an entry on a listing site, giving such information as the name of the radio station, its incorporation date, its address, and so on; (2) a page listing an application for a "Minor Modification to a Construction Permit", including details such as the station's call sign, its address, latitude and longitude, etc. In addition the "External links" section contains links to (1) a Federal Communications Commission listing for the station, which again gives information such as the call sign, the name of the station, its latitude and longitude, etc etc; (2) a listing on a site called radio-locator.com, with the same kind of information again; (3) a page which gives no information about the station except the single statement "No Fall 2016 data found for WGPG-FM." This is nowhere near to being the sort of significant coverage which is required by Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The kind of city the station is located in and its number of inhabitants has no bearing whatever on notability. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets NMEDIA guideline Actually James, the size of the audience CAN IN FACT be used to determine notability for a radio station, although 50,000 is small by full-power FM standards a LPFM station with 50,000 is unusually large by LPFM standards. Wikipedia:NMEDIA says: "Notability can be established by either a large audience, established broadcast history, or unique programming." This stations does appear to have "UNIQUE PROGRAMMING" specifically the Burmese Refugee population in the area, and perhaps a large audience by LPFM standards. TelcoTodd" (talk) 21:53, 23 November 2016

• Weak keep See WP:BCASTOUTCOMES "Licensed radio and TV stations are generally kept as notable if they broadcast over the air and originate at least a portion of their programming schedule in their own studios." This is true at least of licensed low power FM stations in the US. This is not a claim of "inherent notability," but an observation that if an article's subject has certain characteristics, coverage can be found. If they broadcast to a city and originate programming locally, I have never found an instance where they did not get sufficient press coverage to satisfy general notability. I did not find online sources for this station other than listings in government files and directories, which are sufficient to verify its existence but not much more. However, many or most US newspapers are not covered in a Google search. It might require checking regional papers and magazines to find the required multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage. We editors do not have infinite time and money to drive to the station's area and check newspaper back issues for coverage everytime someone puts a radio station up for deletion.If this discussion eventually points to deletion, I suggest merging the station to the article about the school which operates it.

• Delete - WP:IINFO. First of all, if kept, this would need a significant rewrite since the reader must guess the meaning some of the notations. As far as I can tell, this is a calculation in a specific case under fairly restrictive hypotheses (for instance, "heat flux perpendicular to the plate" sounds dubious - I think it is only valid for low flow speeds compared to heat diffusion, but I should not have to guess). Notability is a problem.

I also am uncomfortable with single-sourcing such an article. I know plenty of physics articles (including some where I made significant contributions, mea culpa) lack sources but are tolerated, probably under a stretch of the "common knowledge" (WP:CK) exemption of sourcing (everyone who graduated in physics knows that calculation, no need to cite it). While I can see merit in the view that verifiability is not a big concern in such topics, I think notability should be a big concern though (and that requires citing a textbook).

The heat flux {\displaystyle {\ddot {q))} {\displaystyle {\ddot {q))} is assumed to be uniform on both side and free stream is parallel to the plate as shown in fig 1.

Fig 1.Laminar boundary layer flow on a flat plate with uniform heat flux on both sides.

Is the material at and directly above figure 2.14. Equation 1.1 in the article is equation 2.144 in the book, and the next paragraph in the article copies the first sentence from the following two paragraphs in the book. Then the article just copies from the book, starting with [18]. The conclusion in the article is the material immidiately before, including, and after equation 2.148 in the book.Smmurphy^(Talk) 13:38, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• keep this is a manor road in canada's capital — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawahitech (talk • contribs) 11:07, 24 November 2016(UTC)

Wikipedia articles about roads are kept or deleted on the basis of whether the road has reliably sourceable political, social or cultural context that would make it something the world needs an article about, not just on the basis of being asserted, in an unsourced manner, as locally important to their own neighbourhood. Every road that exists at all could always claim to be locally important — the question is whether it's RSable as more than just locally important. Bearcat (talk) 17:41, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. By any standard there appears to be far less notable Ottawa roads within the navbox at the bottom of the page. Deleting most of those and keeping this (with a couple decent sources) seems a better option. -- Acefitt 19:29, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Those need to be deleted too. Do you have any sources that would show this road is notable and would pass GNG? MB 19:52, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. If somebody could properly source some context for the road's political, social or cultural significance as demanded by WP:ROADOUTCOMES, then we'd have a notable road that qualifies for a Wikipedia article. But as written, all this does is describe the road's physical characteristics — which is the kind of article that fails our notability criteria for roads. It's not enough to just assert that a road is important to its own neighbourhood; the notability of a road is determined by reliably sourcing some context for the road's political, social or cultural significance, not by just unreferencedly stating that it exists and has stuff on it (one or both of which things could be said equally of every single road anywhere on the planet.)

My reading of WP:ROADOUTCOMES does not support deletion, in fact, it supports keep."An article that explains and provides valid relevant citations for the social, cultural, historical or political context of a road in depth is more likely to survive AfD than one which merely describes the road's physical characteristics." since such sources do exist for this major city street. E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:48, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Social, cultural, historical or political context" is not equivalent to "any sources exist at all for anything whatsoever about the road". Bike lanes and summertime replacement of parking spots with lounge-decking for pedestrians are both remarkably common things that a lot of streets in a lot of cities have, not anything that makes a road "special" in any substantive way. "Named in a listicle as a lovely local walking spot" doesn't really cut it either — and the final source isn't really about the road, but just namechecks the road in the process of being about a community festival in the neighbourhood. So no, none of those sources are particularly compelling evidence that ROADOUTCOMES has been fulfilled here. Bearcat (talk) 16:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the onus is on your to substantiate your case for deletion. The title is a used phrase, and it is used to mean either of the two listed topics. It is not PTM. I think it is exactly what DABCONCEPT is. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:18, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded my answer a) as a dab - Doc James below b) to SmokeyJoe above for the option b) as a BC where "safety" of what is the crux, the risk is from driving whilst distracted, so it is "driving safety" as a topic (similarly, driver rubbernecking isn't part of a broad concept "looking safety"). Widefox; talk 12:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Not seeing the issue. Mobile phone safety can refer to two different things so what is wrong with a disambig? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:45, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As dab entries, "Mobile phone safety" as strictly interpreted per WP:D / WP:MOSDAB... The articles don't have alternative, bolded titles "Mobile phone safety". It's one or two PTMs, arguably the first one could be a synonym, so a good candidate for this being redirect. The second is "Mobile phones and driving safety" is a subtopic of driving safety, not synonymous with the ambiguous term "Mobile phone safety" so is a PTM, leaving a dab with a primary topic and one other - a WP:TWODABS. Widefox; talk 12:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Regardless of what could "properly" be referred to as "mobile phone safety", a user typing this phrase can be looking for either of the two articles listed. A case could be made for redirecting to Mobile phone safety and leaving a hatnote there, but I don't think it's a good idea: the convenience of the couple of readers who type this phrase every day isn't balanced by the added inconvenience (because of the hatnote occupying the primary spot of the article) for the thousand or so users who view that article. – Uanfala (talk) 02:10, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

as a) a dab, agree scope isn't important but I'd say it's got a primary topic TWODABS (above). Widefox; talk 02:35, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed at Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation#Proposal:_keep_two-item_dab_pages, while these things are not necessary, or encouraged, when they happen there is no imperative to remove them. Their usefulness is a grey zone, and they do no harm. The biggest advantage of deletion I think is that entering the phrase int the search box will lead to pretty good search engine results [23]. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:11, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(offtopic: in that proposal discussion I detail why they can do harm, so the assertion that they do no harm is no conclusion to a still ongoing unclosed discussion) This dab is the end-result of editing away a poor article. We're left with a poor dab that isn't a good candidate for a BC, and as you say, the search is a better option when deleted. Widefox; talk 04:00, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in the Benji Hughes article, this album was reviewed by Chuck Klosterman of Esquire[31], Jon Pareles of The New York Times[32], Spin [33], NPR [34], Rolling Stone [35] (viewable at archive.org, 4/5 rating, just as Metacritic said), Slate [36][37] Despite poor sales, it has since remained a subject of discussion in terms like "cult classic" e.g., The Believer[38], Vulture.com [39], NPR [40], Charlotte Observer [41][42]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:19, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This quote from the above mentioned Vulture.com [43] article sells it for me. How often is something like this said about a record?: "A Love Extreme is one of those rare records that merit the overused designation “cult classic.” It was released in 2008 by New West Records...the label didn’t know what to do with A Love Extreme...The album has sold just over 6,000 copies. Very few people have heard A Love Extreme, in other words, but some inordinate percentage of those who have adore it." I do agree the page should have more details beyond the track list and may take a shot at it when I have some time. Lacivi (talk) 20:51, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coffee consumption in Uruguay (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

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

Edit history

• The article was first written with the name "Coffee production in Uruguay", about the fact that there is no coffee production in that country.
• Someone then came along and moved the page to its current name.
• Besides tags, fixes, templates etc., there has been only one content edit.

Reasons for deletion

• The informantion no WP:SIGNIFICANCE
• The article is an orphan, barring one page where it apppears mentioned only under "See also".
• Could unleash a wave of article creation on vertical and horizontal directions: "Coffe consumption in Poland", "Coffe consumption in Bolivia", "Coffe consumption in Tanzania", "Coffe consumption in Malasya", "Coffe consumption in Macau", "Coffe consumption in London", and "Tea consumption in Uruguay", "Wine consumption in Uruguay", "Beer consumption in Uruguay", "Butter consumption in Uruguay", "Maize consumption in Uruguay", "Fish consumption in Uruguay". Such articles, would be a magnet for IPs living in those places adding the ususal anecdotal, unsourced, hearsay, popular wisdom type of content that is a headache for more serious editors. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I feel rather conflicted on this. On the one hand it does seem rather parochial to be talking about the trade in food commodities in individual countries. I'm doubting that coffee is even a particularly large part of the Ugandan econony. On the other hand, it is undoubtedly true that there is a level of cultural bias going on. We have pages on Coffee in Seattle, why shouldn't we also have pages on consumption in African countries? We have pages on Tea in the United Kingdom, why shouldn't there be an equivalent about coffee culture in Uganda? I don't know how to process this, but simply saying it is "popular wisdom type of content" doesn't seem to cut through the bias which says the beverage culture in the United Kingdom or Seattle is important but the equivalent in Uganda isn't. JMWt (talk) 11:49, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Reply to above comment: Yes, you are absolutely right that we have similar articles and I had meant to make a note on that, but forgot to do so as I typed up my thought. However, it is a question of scale and propotionality, as you correctly pointed out "I'm doubting that coffee is even a particularly large part of the Ugandan econony". But it is not about cultural bias, more a question of how significant something is a specific country — no-one would bat an eyelid seeing an article on "Manga in Japan" or "Anime in Japan" or "Bacalhau in Portugal", "Charcuterie in France". Likewise, I would be happy to see an article on "Protest music in Uruguay", or "Barbecue (Asado) in Uruguay" or "Consumption of yerba mate in Uruguay". However I would do a double-take if I saw an article on "Rugby in Mali", or "Bocce in London" or "Consumption of arak in Belgium". Thanks for your input.

• Delete the mere consumption of coffee on a by-country basis has no encyclopedic value from what I can see. (Actually, I see WP:NOTSTATSBOOK does not cover this, as the info here is properly presented -- but it's still unencyclopedic imo. Wikipedia is a gazetteer of certain things, such as all species or named places, but the logical extension of this for a multitude of "Fooian food consumption in Fooian country" articles is clearly not a good idea). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:18, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Consumption of a drink is unlikely to be notable unless it has a significant social impact. For instance, English coffeehouses in the 17th and 18th centuries is an article with encyclopedic value and a similar scope. Ceosad (talk) 22:10, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:BULLOCKS. The citations are 90 years out of date!!! Coffee is not drunk as much today in Uruguay as is mate for breakfast, beer for lunch, and wine for dinner. I've been there, and by the way, their beer is excellent. ;-) Bearian (talk) 00:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although founder Alan White is certainly notable, it does not follow that every project of every notable musician is also notable. White seems to have had a limited impact as a project and does not seem to merit its own entry. Shritwod (talk) 09:38, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bondegezou managed to fill out the citations and it certainly looks better now. I had a look myself but White is such a common word finding that album eluded me. It seems to me to meet notability criteria, so I would like to withdraw this nomination. 10:12, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

• Keep Clearly meets WP:BAND criterion #6, "Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians" in that the band contains Alan White and has contained Geoff Downes. Bondegezou (talk) 10:08, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've done a bit of work on the article this morning, adding four citations. Bondegezou (talk) 10:39, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There is certainly no consensus to delete this article. Most of the discussion revolves around the question of whether Craig Gill is notable enough to justify a stand-alone article, or whether the article should be re-directed to The Inspiral Carpets. As that is a discussion better suited to the article's talk page, I'm closing the AfD. Joyous! | Talk 01:11, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not independently notable other than his involvement with Inspiral Carpets. Should revert to a redirect. Rob Sinden (talk) 08:49, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - major newspapers think he is notable enough to run major stories about his death. See [44], [45], [46] etc. --Racklever (talk) 09:40, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • But not one of the articles gives any in depth coverage to any activities outside of being the drummer for Inspiral Carpets. Per WP:SUBNOT at WP:Notability (music): "material about individual members of a musical group are normally merged into larger articles about the group"". --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please could you advise what further information you would intend adding to the article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 10:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Death alone is not a reason for deletion. Gill was more than a drummer for a successful band - he was part of Manchester's wider cultural scene with his tours, book and DJing. Every newspaper and many music sites have carried obituaries of Gill - that makes him important enough to retain his entry here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Purpleprose (talk • contribs) 10:30, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eh? What does "Death alone is not a reason for deletion" mean? The other other activities you list are not notable. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - countless reports of his death support his notability as the ex-drummer with one of the most prominent musical acts ever to come out of Manchester. It's also hard to believe that an article fully 9 years old would suddenly be nominated for deletion, and I'd question the rationale behind that action. Ref ^(chew)(do) 13:11, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "article" has been a redirect for some time as the subject is not independently notable. It was changed to back to a stub article yesterday in the event of his death, but nothing new, other than his death, has been added. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Absolutely positively keep. The Inspiral Carpets are a well known band, and Craig was certainly a part of that and Manchester music culture. The rationale for deletion is bizarre. 'Nothing new' has been added on countless pages for all manner of reasons. Is there a stopwatch running on each page to check if nothing new is happening, before the delete button is pressed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.124.0 (talk) 16:33, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nothing new has been added to justify changing it from a redirect to an article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:45, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to band. None of the Keep statements above have been able to point to significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Until such coverage is found, the subject of this article cannot be presumed to be notable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:08, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Inspiral Carpets. Under the criteria of WP:MUSIC an artist needs to have had a notable career outside of the band. This is always a difficult proposition when it concerns drummers. A quick check at discogs.com shows that his output is all with the Inspiral Carpets. There is a hint of him being an author, but that book was written together with a well-know local journalist. All obits describe him as the drummer of the band. Karst (talk) 21:55, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect. Was already one beforehand as there wasn't any sufficient info. His death doesn't make him notable either, so it's best to restore the redirect. Rusted AutoParts 06:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. What makes the Muse drummer Dominic Howard notable enough to have a page dedicated to him, outside of the context of his membership of that band? Nothing at all (according to the article), yet his page isn't up for deletion. It is also notable that Craig Gill is now the subject of a reasonably well publicised campaign to get an Inspiral Carpets song to number one in the UK at Christmas 2016, in his memory. —  added by AtheistMT (talk) 16:34, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
