Simon and the Oaks[edit]

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

This is the article on the book. The movie was hugely successful being nominated for multiple Swedish Oscars. But problems plauging the article on the book is no plot and lacks sources. For seven years, it has been tagged with expansion from the Swedish article. I don't know if it has been brought to the appropriate WikiPojects to get looked at. With the state the article is in, it doesn't merit being kept. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 03:12, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or at least Redirect for now, because it's held at 600 libraries worldwide and it was a film, so that's enough to suggest enough for an article alone. SwisterTwister talk 02:14, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:NBOOK as "3.The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture," plus its a bestseller, here is a LA Times article on the film that states "the source material is a bestselling novel, in this case one by Marianne Fredricksson that has been translated into 25 languages and sold more than 4 million copies worldwide." - Review: 'Simon and the Oaks' an emotional wartime journey, also nom needs to remember Article content does not determine notability Coolabahapple (talk) 02:39, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve. The poor state of an article does not mean that it should be deleted. It just means that it needs to be improved. It's fine if you don't want to do this, but this doesn't mean that you should delete the article. Redirection would also not be appropriate here, as the article does pass notability guidelines since the film is notable and per Coolabahapple, there are reviews for it. In cases like this the best course of action is to go to some of the various, applicable WikiProjects (WP:BOOKS, WP:SWEDEN) and ask for someone to improve the article. An article can be a stub and still be a valid article, especially if there's room for it to grow.

I don't mean this to sound harsh, it's just that deletion shouldn't be automatically judged based on the stubby state of an article or even if the article seems to be lacking in details. This tends to happen a lot and I mean a lot with articles where the topic is predominantly covered in another language. Captain Sabertooth and Kule kidz gråter ikke both nearly got deleted because their articles were fairly sparse, although the arguments there were notability rather that on the state of the article alone. Even so, it's just really a bad thing to get in the habit of doing. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:01, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't take an AfD for an article to get some improvement. That's one problem with Wikipedia. If I was just strictly a reader of Wikipedia and I wanted to know more about this particular book, I'd get nothing from it. If one is going to create and article, you should at least put a synopsis in it. That is a no-brainer. I used to be like you and think the nominator should have done something to improve the article. But that's not the case.Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 17:03, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - since the nomination the article has been improved (thank you, Tokyogirl79! :-) ) and notability per WP:NBOOKS is shown. I started looking for other sources, and will try to add more information and sources to the article. It is not trivially easy to find such sources, because although it was very much talked about when it was published in 1985 (this review of the film in Dagens Nyheter refers to the book as "the major bestseller of the 1980s" - possibly an exaggeration, but it was certainly a very popular book), much of what was written in '85 in the papers is not available online, and since the film had the same title, searches mostly find movie reviews. Such reviews often mention the book, but I will try a bit harder to see if I can't find some reliable sources that discuss the book itself. In the meantime, keep. --bonadea contributions talk 11:53, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus, again, unfortunately. There is significant disagreement on what should be covered and where, and little to no analysis of quality and availability of reference material. I imagine that there will be a third discussion at some point; if so, perhaps it can more directly tackle these issues rather than focusing on subjective perceptions of importance.

Delete This article should have already been deleted. The arguments for keep were not strong at all. This was one of 34 regular season games. It was not a playoff game, it was not a crucial game during the season. It only tied for the largest win in MLS, which means nothing. It should just be a part of the Hudson River Derby article.

Keep per Fenix and SG on the first AFD. The match will have some staying power, given that the only comparable result was in 1998, at the very beginning of the league's history, and similar margins are rare to come by in modern soccer. Sounder Bruce 01:43, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Discussed, yes, resolved, no. In the end, it ended in a no consensus, so another discussion is appropriate. Safiel (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I brought this back into AfD primarily as the result of an erroneous attempt to delete this via speedy deletion. Given that there is some contention regarding this article's existence, that would seem to me to be a good reason to return to AfD and get a final resolution of keep or delete, rather than no consensus, as happened in the first AfD. After some thought over the last day, I am going to go with a keep based on the arguments here and at the first AfD. Nevertheless, this AfD needs to go the distance and hopefully there will be enough of a consensus in either direction to get something other than a no consensus. Safiel (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to what was said on the previous Afd, this game did not receive that great of media coverage. When I googled it, all I really found were results from the New York media and ESPNFC. A game of this little importance should not have the same size article that the MLS Final has. I also looked up other NYCFC games and they were covered by the same media sources. Also the only reason this article was created was probably because a Red Bulls fan wanted rub the result in NYCFC's face. No I am not a fan of either team.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 02:07, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hudson derby, does not merit a separate article. Giant Snowman 07:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Categories such as this and this as well as articles such as this give clear indication that results which at one point in time are / were the highest scoring match in a given league's history are notable. Sources in the article indicate coverage going beyond mere routine match reporting. Fenix down (talk) 14:43, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Major League Soccer records and statistics#Biggest winning margin. There was nothing special about this game except for the score differential. Comparisons to Motherwell v Hibernian (5 May 2010) are not really on point here, as that was a record setting game for combined score, not score differential (and, for the record, the 11-point game that is the MLS recordholder in that regard doesn't have an article either, nor do I think it should). The AFD1 argument, raised by Fenix, that is being quoted by supporters here is that there is: "clear consensus that matches that are or were at a point in time the record winning margin in a nation's top competition are notable." However, examining how other games have been treated suggests that is simply not the case. For the MLS, the other two 7 point margin games do not have individual articles (not even redirects), but are merely included in the list I've suggested as the redirect target (and are mentioned, appropriately, in season articles). For the NFL, "largest margin of victory, single game" doesn't even seem to be a statistic listed in the giant NFL records list (highest total points in a game for both teams combined has its own list). Our coverage of the NBA mirrors that of the NFL; there is attention to the games with the highest total points scored, but no mention at all of the highest margin-of-victory. Now, I think margin of victory is a "useful" record to track, and it's pretty easy to find sourced information about that for the NFL (and probably the NBA, I didn't look). We should (and do!) include that in the MLS records list. But contrary to the assertion in the prior AFD, none of the comparable events in MLS -- nor in any other, similar sport -- have their own articles. There is a "clear consensus", but it is not one to retain. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is well sourced and seems significant in the context of the rivalry between the two teams. LCrowter (talk) 16:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and add some content to Hudson River Derby, in which its significance in the context of the rivalry between the two teams is apparently so great that it doesn't even get a mention apart from its entry in the list of results...
My comments at the first nomination suggested that existing articles used to suggest precedent weren't directly comparable, because they had features over and above the score. Some had been kept at AfD, e.g. Manchester United F.C. 9–0 Ipswich Town F.C. (albeit by no consensus), because they were receiving ongoing coverage many years after the event. This remains the case. This match tied a winning margin record: the existence of individual articles about matches that set winning margin records doesn't create consensus for the retention of all articles about sometime record holders. No prejudice against re-creation if it receives significant coverage; as yet, it hasn't. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's a record performance, and the fact that it's a rivalry (and thus could theoretically be merged to the rivalry page) makes it more notable if anything, and certainly not less notable that it should change anyone's vote from keep to merge (with the rivalry page). Just because we can merge it there doesn't mean we should. The performance gathered significant attention, and clearly satisfies all relevant guidelines, like I said before in the last AfD. Smartyllama (talk) 15:07, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It did not receive significant news coverage. It only received coverage from the New York area. Also it doesn't deserve an article that is as long as one for the MLS Cup Final or Another major international final. A simple google search refutes Fenix's claim from the last Afd. It's not a game that anyone is going to ever look back at and say that it was important.

Keep - If this was just a record performance, I would have said a redirect. But this is notable because its a club with a long history and a roster that has been consistant for a long time, coming up against a club who have a lot of money and marquee players, but really are a club with no real core, just really Khaldoon Al Mubarak's American branch. Any onlooker would look at the prestigious names in the NYC FC line up (i.e David Villa, Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard) and say it should be an easy win for New York City. But it wasn't. It was a caterstrophic loss. This is more than just a 7-0 loss. Its a massive rethink of the way the world looks at football. Many owners look at the disaster that happened at NYC and see that you cant just immediately spend a billion million dollars and buy a good team and expect to be champions in your first year, because that's just not how football works. Meanwhile you look at Germany and at RB Leipzig, that's an example of a team built from the bottom and that became very sucessfull, and in 8 years its now a major powerhouse in German football after coming from the very bottom, the semi pro leagues in fact. In 5 years I suspect it will be near on par with the Bayerns and Reals of the world. But in 5 years time NYC will probably still be getting smashed 4-0 at home in a stadium that's barely 10% full, and they have probably spent and lost more money. Its a lot more than just a result, you see — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTombs48 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nobody has been able to present any evidence to show that this game was notable. A consensus is not based on a democratic vote, so it seems clear to me that the consensus it to delete the article and add the content to the Hudson River Derby article.

I considered this as a speedy delete under A7, but anyway, this an autobiographical promotional piece about a non-notable musician/photographer/engineer. As far as I can tell his musical career so far has been some remixes of other songs, some of which may not be official – there's no evidence on his social media that he has DJ'd at any major club, even within Colombia, at all. He's not mentioned by name anywhere in the links for the engineering prize or the French photography exhibition so we can't verify these claims.

My German is not that strong, but these don't seem to be routine match reports and the reporting seems to be done by news outlets at least at a regional level, so seems to me to have received sufficient coverage to satisfy GNG.

It's not surprising the involved user was, not only persistent about the company, but then had no other contributions or activities at all. This is a company who noticeable seeks PR and that's of course why this article would exist, because there's certainly enough suggesting this is neither a convincing article or actually improvable.

Comment: This was formerly an article on the German engineering firm Behr GmbH & Co. KG and part of the text and the references pertain to that firm. In a process begun with this edit in May and later with this move the article has been repurposed as one on a US financial firm BEHR Group Holdings. I am not seeing an association between the two firms and @Niaguru1968: I am unclear why this was done? A newly-created article on BEHR Group Holdings would probably not survive CSD A7. Were it not for this AfD, I would suggest this should be reverted to the original title and revision as of 18:07, 3 March 2016; that said though, I am not sure the German firm is notable either (though it does have a German Wikipedia article). @Velella: thoughts on how to proceed at AfD on either/both firms?

Delete The coverage is not sustained enough to pass the general notability guidelines by most interpretations. Since the film has not been released the one role is not enough for Cravalho to be propelled to fame that way. Anyway the main acting way to notability requires 2 films, not just one.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:51, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The guidelines I was thinking of primarily apply to people involved in live-action film. A voice role like Cravalho will have in the film Moana does not even add towards notability as much as a live action role.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I respectfully disagree with the above comments with regards to the actor's notability, for two main reasons.

- It has been noted that she has only starred in one as-yet-unreleased film. I would like to direct the other commentators' attention to the likes of Peter Ostrum who appeared in only one film (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, a big budget film, which featured Gene Wilder. Ostrum has never appeared in another film but has a reasonably long Wikipedia article. His film and Moana can be seen as having similarities, as in both cases a large budget is involved and the younger actor is in a film featuring someone very famous. In Cravalho's case, it is Dwayne Johnson, in Ostrum's it was Gene Wilder.

- Secondly, despite the fact Cravalho is currently an "unknown" actress, her Wikipedia page itself has been getting many daily views. On average, the Auli'i Cravalho page seems to be receiving ~700-900 views per day. In the week following the most recent trailer release for Moana (16th September - 23rd September 2016), the article was viewed 21,682 times. I also reject the idea that she should not have a Wikipedia because she has not appeared in other major productions. Actors such as Paul Reeve (of Superman fame) was relatively unknown until he received his role in Superman. There is clear evidence from the views on this page alone that there is a lot of interest in her as an actress. Moana is a major Disney film which will be released in around a month's time. To refer to the numbers of article views again, I note that the Moana (2016 film) is currently receiving ~ 5000 views per day, though it has received ~ 15,000 per day in the last few weeks.

To conclude, my position is that while Auli'i Cravalho is not yet famous, she is a notable person. There is a lot of interest in the movie and the actress which I believe will only increase in the weeks to come. I am not sure I understand the sense of deleting the article when it will likely be recreated by someone else when the film is closer to release (i.e. most likely within a month or so from now). The film is currently set to be released in at least 32 countries by the end of the year. Currently, it serves to compile information about a rising actress, who, in the next three months, is likely to become very well known.

Comment This is directed at Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi and any others who believe my points to be not based on policy. I made my comments in relation to what had already been said by Sro23. If you read WP:BLP1E, you will see that the policy states all three requirements must be met for there to be a violation. My comments relate to the second requirement outlined, namely that the person is likely to remain widely unknown after the event. As I have already stated, I believe this is unlikely to be the case.

I would also appreciate someone (preferably Sro23) explaining how under requirement three of the above mentioned policy is violate by the article. I fail to see how the event is one of low importance (at least as far as films go). Cravalho plays the main character in the film. It seems to me that neither requirement two nor three is violated by this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmWinn (talk • contribs) 13:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cravalho does not "play" the main character in the film, she "voices" the main character in the film. There is a very large difference. Also, the film has not been released yet, so comparing it to films that have already been released is flawed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Moana (2016 film). Any interest in Cravalho at this point would have to be related to her role in this film, which is not even going to be released more than a month. If and when there is more to say about her that isn't related to her role in Moana, the redirect can be turned back into a proper article about her. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)'[reply]

CommentJohn Pack Lambert Thanks for your contributions. I think you misunderstood what I meant by play (perhaps a difference in the types of English we speak). I meant it as per the Oxford Dictionary online https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/play under the 4th heading, play is defined as to "represent (a character) in a theatrical performance or a film", i.e. assuming the role of Moana, rather than that she physically appears in the film. You may also be interested in the video Walt Disney released on their YouTube channel "Casting Moana- Introducing Auli'i Cravalho" which features footage of the actress and currently has ~ 4 million views. It can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pylCYlsjEK0

This will be my final comment on this AfD and I would like to comment generally on it. Firstly, thank you to everyone who commented or made suggestions. One thing I would like clarified (and maybe a more experienced Wikipedia editor can assist here) is why the Moana Auli'i page is up for deletion and the Moana (film) page is not. It seems many of the points that have made here could also apply to the film's page (notability, crystal ball etc).

I will watch this topic with interest when the film is released in ~ six weeks.

Again, thanks to anyone who contributed. Enjoy the rest of your weekend/upcoming week (depending on where you are in the world). :-) EmWinn (talk) 10:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or failing that redirect to the film. BLP1E is for otherwise non-notable people, but actors are public figures; substantial coverage of them is sufficient for inclusion even for just one role. Sandstein 12:51, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I guess WP:BLP1E doesn't apply since the individual is a public figure, but my concern remains that she doesn't meet WP:NACTOR. I would be willing to support redirecting to Moana (2016 film) at this time. Sro23 (talk) 14:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment She clearly does not meet NACTOR point 1, which requires Multiple roles, however point 2 "has a large fan base of a significant cult following" does have some potential.

Keep I have become convinced that we have a wide enough number of articles from reliable sources to pass the GNG. Also, I think there is enough evidence of pre-release following that this one role will propel Cravalho into some level of significant following. Maybe not quite the level of Idina Menzell and what voicing the role of Elsa in Frozen has done for her career. OK, that is a horrible example, because Menzell had the lead role in rent on broadway back in 1996, and even in film had not only held that role in the film adaptation of rent but had also had the second highest female role in Enchanted. Frozen was her 8th role in film. So it is not comparable. Also, I doubt that Moana will reach the level of popularity of Frozen. Still, I think Cravalho has enough coverage to date to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:54, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's fairly clear that a new major Disney film will be notable, and that the star of it will be also. Refusing to recognize this is an illustration of the overliteral misuse of NOTCRYSTAL. Some things don't need magical devices or guesswork, just obvious analogy. Pragmatically, the work involved in discussing it, removing it, and rewriting itis much greater than the work in letting it be and just keeping track of it. This is deletion process being used for the sake of deletion process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)

Delete. The source provided is something like the Korean version of answers.com, and so is very far indeed from being a reliable source. Like other -ipus genera, this is intended to be an ichnotaxon (a trace-fossil "genus" based on dinosaur tracks). Others are indeed valid. Ultrasauripus is a substub, but at least minimally referenced. Megalosauripus is currently no better than this article, but has a complicated history that could easily be fleshed out into a real article. Elephantosauripus, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any currency in academic literature; all references to it that I can find are from dubious Korean sources. Google Scholar returns a big fat goose egg. I suspect this ichnotaxon was proposed by someone, probably in a dissertation or maybe a minor conference poster, but never received any traction nor acceptance.

Death of youth in a war is tragic, but not necessarily notable by Wikipedia's definition of notability. The article does not meet WP:BIO1E. Furthermore, it does not seem to meet notability as an event based on it's lack of demonstrated lasting effect. Further I cannot see how it can be said to have significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group. A tragedy yes, but Wikipedia is not a memorial.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. EricSerge (talk) 16:45, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Don't see why this should be deleted. This article was sent to deletion in the first week or so of the conflict and even then it garnered nine keep opinions as opposed to just four delete. With that said, I don't know why it was closed as no consensus when there was an overwhelming consensus to keep. At any rate, my opinion hasn't changed. His life and tragic death are covered by many notable news media outlets including The Sunday Times [1], Regnum [2], EurasiaNet [3], EKurd Daily [4], Agos [5], openDemocracy [6], RFE/RL Armenia [7] and many others. His death is being investigated by the International Federation for Human Rights [8] and the case is currently a pending lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights ([9]...this needs to be added to the article). It is also compliant with WP:SOLDIER which considers a soldier notable if s/he is "awarded their nation's second-highest award for valour". The Order of the Combat Cross is Armenia's second highest honor, and he received its first degree. Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The quotation from WP:SOLDIER is "awarded their nation's second-highest award for valour (such as the Navy Cross) multiple times". How did you manage to miss the "multiple times" requirement? I have no personal axe to grind about any ethnic conflicts in the Caucasus region, but it's pretty obvious that there are several editors distorting the truth according to their personal nationalist prejudices in recent deletion discussions. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:54, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment if this is part of an investigation of a war crime, then perhaps coverage of the case against an accused individual could use some of this material. However, in reading WP:CRIME this article fails by that inclusion standard as well. EricSerge (talk) 03:57, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

People don't get awarded the Navy Cross multiple times, they receive stars. In the case of the Order of the Combat Cross, that would mean getting a 1st degree (and not merely the 2nd), which is why I mentioned it. Besides, per TonyBallioni's comment below, there's good reason to believe that this is the highest medal granted for military valour. So my vote still stands. Étienne Dolet (talk) 05:00, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stop the sophistry. A star is a second or subsequent award of a Navy Cross, but a first degree of the Order of the Combat Cross is not a second award, but simply the level of the first award. Maybe, as said below, this is actually the top award for valour in Armenia, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you misrepresented WP:SOLDIER above, and so may also be misrepresenting that information. Why do you (Personal attack removed) insist on overstating your case when you have a perfectly good case even without such misrepresentation? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, now you're just showing signs of disruption, and that's pretty concerning. Ease up on the personal attacks, will you? No one here is an Armenian nationalist. Hell, I'm not even Armenian. And I did not say he received the order twice, I said he received its first degree, which is much more significant than receiving its second degree. To clarify: getting a star for a Navy Cross is, in my opinion, more or less the same significance as it would be when receiving the Combat Cross. And again, in light of TonyBallioni's comment, which provides a pretty good conclusion as to this medal's significance, my vote still stands. Étienne Dolet (talk) 03:30, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the highest honor in Armenia seems to be the National Hero of Armenia award. Taking a look at its recipients it looks something like the Presidential Medal of Freedom more than a military award such as the Victoria Cross or the Medal of Honor. The medal he was awarded seems to be the nations highest military honour for enlisted soldiers, and combined with what looks to be widespread media coverage, I think he passes WP:GNG. Also, just as a note, I also have no opinion one way or the other on any of the ethnic conflicts in the former Soviet Union. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article is well sourced, sources are RS, the subject of the article is not simply the beheading but the aftermath of it. It is the aftermath that makes the subject notable - and there is demonstrable lasting effect. Many sources commented on it, notable politicians commented on it, international bodies commented on it, cases were raised at other international bodies that are still ongoing, the beheading and the related atrocities are now used as a reason to argue against Azerbaijan ever again having control of NK, etc. Note, this AfD almost certainly started because I mentioned this article in another ongoing AfD [10], giving this article as an example of what that other article would need to have to avoid deletion. Has this AfD been started in order to influence deletion of the other article? Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep -- the subject was indeed awarded the "nation's highest award for military valour" (Awards and decorations of Armenia#Order of the Combat Cross 1st Degree), and thus this is technical WP:SOLDIER #1 pass. (The Hero of Armenia is a civil award.) The coverage is sufficient to pass GNG at this time. Moreover, the award was presented by Armenia's president personally, so the subject is likely to become a propaganda icon. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:56, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO generally and, since he was a writer, WP:NAUTHOR specifically. He never did anything notable according to our guidelines which would warrant an encyclopedic article here. There is zero reception of him as person in reliable sources or anywhere. The sources in the article for the most part don't even mention him or are non-RS and trivial. The article is basically written as résumé for him per WP:PROMO. It should therefore be deleted.

Sources are mainly PR. But, Silicon Week and Phone Arena are enough, in my opinion. Faintly passes WP:GNG. Please discuss. Nairspecht (talk) (work) 16:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as my PROD here stated all of the concerns, I also noted that this was clearly part of a PR article campaign, given there were other articles involved about this; the sources are all PR and PR-focused and that alone, no amounts of planned improvements would help still, because the company is hoping for such funding, it shows it has not even established itself.

Comment: Google is really not helpful when it comes to searching news. This compares the app with Snapchat and Instagram and shares the info about the app's USP being "targeted to users who do not want their apps to drain phone data." This is certainly not PR. Hence, faint keep. Best, Nairspecht (talk) (work) 17:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Sources like El Universal and PCWorld indicate notability, but there's not a great deal of coverage beyond PR. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:42, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Google is the best source however for searching for news, aside from searching at every single major new source itself, and even the L2Inc being questionable as a convincing source, it's only merely a limited number of sentences, finishing with some interviewed information. The two sources later listed aboce, are then simple guides showing what the company is and what it offers, it's not substantial coverage and the vote itself states it's PR. SwisterTwister talk 18:29, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I want to note that not only is it clear this article is part of a PR article campaign, it shows in that it has been contributed by several SPA accounts, the last one then actually removing the AfD nomination template with "Citing journalists who choose to cover an app in response to press releases where the journalists took the time and effort to interview the company's founder are not "mere press releases", which is not in fact convincing because simply stating that journalists talked about it, is by any and all means not a defense or guarantee that no PR or PR intentions were involved, quite the contrary, it shows it is all PR in that none of the sources go anywhere else but PR and also what the company would only say about itself. SwisterTwister talk 19:37, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's a publicity campaign, but it seems possible there is some COI involved. Certainly two SPAa are not experienced with WIkipedia.

Comment - The comment of stating that removing the template was necessary because it complies with notability and is convincing is questionable because the concerns have been listed as it is, including with my own PROD which was extensive and specific about it; this article, along with a closely linked article which has since now been deleted, all suggest this is simply a PR campaign, since the comment itself goes as far to state "that journalists interviewed them!" Also, saying that this is in fact a PR campaign is a fact, because it shows the concerns, one of which is getting largely noticed in that this is only being touched by SPA users. Once we start making excuses and compromising about accepting such PR, Wikipedia is damned as an ad-free encyclopedia. SwisterTwister talk 20:22, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – To those voting to keep (@SuperJew: and @Hmlarson:), you need to provide some evidence of Henderson's notability (even aside from the appropriateness of WP:NFOOTBALL). Just did a quick google, and I can't find anything except match reports and previews. I'm all for promoting women's football, but that doesn't alter the need for more than WP:ROUTINE coverage. If you want to claim that the subject is notable you need to prove that is so, rather than just arguing that a guideline (which is a mere presumption) is incorrect. With the current sources out there, is there much prospect of this article being anything more than a basic stub? Macosal (talk) 01:25, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good points. Are these same standards expected of men in top division leagues around the world? Hmlarson (talk) 01:31, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They should be. The unfortunate reality is that WP:NFOOTBALL is too often used as a be-all and end-all, with players satisfying the reqs for "presumed" notability rarely being questioned, whilst those who don't fulfill them are often challenged, even in the face of significant coverage. But of course all subjects should satisfy WP:N in order to justify an article. Macosal (talk) 01:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Macosal:, and a male player whose only appearance in a top-division league is a five minute cameo at the end of a dead rubber match is notable for an article? The notability baseline should move from fully pro leagues to top division + fully pro. --SuperJew (talk) 09:06, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, as I said above. WP:NFOOTBALL has become over-observed, with people ignoring WP:N. Again I'd ask, are there enough non-routine sources to make Henderson's article more than a stub? I can't see evidence of that, and without that no article should exist, irrespective of gender or professionalism... Macosal (talk) 10:40, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In what sense is this "my" AfD? To be honest I don't like to see material deleted from Wikipedia, and have never nominated any article for deletion (note I didn't even vote delete here, just a comment...). The reason I joined this discussion is to reframe it, because I believe WP:NFOOTBALL shouldn't be treated as the silver bullet it too often is (and was being by those contributing before me). Keeping on topic, what point is there in this article remaining when there is literally no specific information (non-routine) on its subject on the internet? Do we have evidence of notability? The WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS example you give is not a good one... Look up Tom Slater and you will find plenty of info about his time at the Mariners, his relationship with his father etc, whereas I can find literally nothing on Henderson anywhere (and seemingly nor can anyone else?).

@SuperJew: Well, completely ignoring the fact that you are trying to compare a full senior international with a routine club player, let's have a quick look. Now, my Vanuatuan is not strong but a two minute Google search throws up this which seems to me to be at least one article of reasonable length and of a non routine nature that seems to focus on the player. Now could I ask you to refrain from the creation of further pointless, not to mention incorrect, strawmen and concentrate on this player. Perhaps you might be able to show an example of some significant third party coverage she has received? Fenix down (talk) 20:37, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me more a routine announcement of his addition with other players to some squad, but also not strong with my Vanuatuan so we're just guessing here. My point is that this double standard between genders is ridiculous. The majority of top men's leagues in countries are considered FPL because the sport currently pays them more. The extra payment leads to more advertising, branding, more fans, more money etc. While the women's leagues are underpaid if at all. If you want money to be your deciding factor in writing a free open encyclopaedia, that seems counter intuitive to me. --SuperJew (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well money is an easy, though not perfect way of indicating notability. No one is going to pay if they don't get something in return if there isn't the attention on a league it won't attract money and if there isn't attention on the league then the players aren't notable and that has nothing to do with gender . That said GNG still trumps everything and there are many many female footballers who meet NFOOTY having played senior international football who have no article or justa stub. It always confuses me that those who talk of gender bias always seem to discuss it in AfDs for minor club players rather than getting on and creating content for the genuinely more notable female international players. Fenix down (talk) 21:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There seems to be some recent precedent 1 2 for giving the "benefit of the doubt" in these sorts of borderline WP:GNG cases. Obviously it's a systemic bias issue. The delete votes here apparently cite WP:NFOOTBALL almost as a reflex, even though, as others have said, it's proven itself inapt in the case of articles about women.

WP:FOOTY fails women's football. Yep, that's the point. Hmlarson (talk) 04:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is not the place to have this discussion, but I don't think it does. At a base level, you need to have some way of presuming notability or not - there are simply too many footballers in the world to make constant, individual assessments on each one. So WPFOOTY has created a set of indicia for players who are likely or can be presumed to be notable. Pro leagues is not a bad way of doing this, but if you have an alternative you should raise it at WT:FOOTY or Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). However, the question I would ask is: is it accurate to say that playing W-League football is a good indicator of notability? Both in the sense that there is demonstrable public interest in and sufficient non-routine coverage of each player to create an article? I think my conclusion is no - and this article is a good example - there is no non-routine information about this player on the internet. WP:FOOTY guideline or not, I believe this article fails WP:N. Macosal (talk) 06:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please, Pro leagues is not a bad way of presuming notability for men's leagues. It's a terrible way of presuming notability for women's league. In what way are the Dutch, Swedish and U.S. leagues different notability-wise to the Australian, English, French, German, etc. leagues? Playing at a top-level (+non-top-level pro leagues) seems a better way to go for all genders. Also add to the fact that many women play in two leagues during the year (because they need to eat), so therefore twice as likely to have notability. --SuperJew (talk) 10:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And you avoided the question about why it makes sense that any male player who plays 5 minutes in a dead-rubber match in the top-level league of the main football countries is considered notable, even if they have the same amount of coverage as a woman player in same position. We should either apply this coverage question to all footballers, regardless of gender, which would bring to deletion of many fringe male players, or go with as I suggested above, change the presumed notability to top-level leagues (which I prefer, since I prefer not to go around deleting articles). --SuperJew (talk) 10:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are fundamental issues with the viewpoint of the core of editors and these are as follows:

The whole "top-level league" argument is routinely raised and routinely rejected for the simple reason that no one in their right mind would consider a player, of either gender, sufficiently notable for a standalone article because they have played in the Niue Soccer Tournament.
Subject-specific notability guidelines must be equal for all genders.
Women's football, like it or not, is far, far less popular on a global basis than the men's game. It has much lower tv audiences, it has much more sparse television coverage, there is only a fraction of the money in the women's game than the men's, attendances are much much lower. These facts are all a function of the popularity of the sport and therefore of its notability.
This factual discrepancy is reflected in WP:FPL, it is not perfect, but, noting the "all player's in top-level leagues should be notable" argument above, no one has come up with a workable alternative that doesn't results in a lower notability for the women's game based solely on gender.
The solution to the gender bias is not necessarily to change notability guidelines but to actually get editor's writing about female footballers. There are hundreds of female footballers who pass WP:NFOOTY already due to having made full international appearances (see Egypt as an example) and this only includes current players. Additionally, there are many female footballers (see this AfD for example) who fail NFOOTY, but pass GNG who do not have articles written about them.

What needs to happen is for these gaps to be filled first, let all GNG satisfying female footballers have articles, then there is purpose in discussing the subject-specific guideline. The way this argument is being presented at the moment is always to my mind about quantity of articles not quality. Anyway, like Macosal said above, here is not the right forum; why does someone not start an RfC on this and get some third party input? Fenix down (talk) 11:17, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well said. As I said at the start of this discussion, WP:NFOOTY doesn't confer notability, it creates a presumption (or not). Of course there are broader issues here, but I can't see how anybody can argue to keep an article about a player with seemingly 0 non-routine coverage in reliable independent sources, regardless of NFOOTY. Macosal (talk) 13:08, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Therein lies the problem Macosal. It presumes notability. For men, any man playing at the top club level he can be playing at (meaning a top-level club in a one of the football countries who are top of the rankings) is presumed notable, while for women not any woman playing at the same level is presumed notable, as the top leagues in Germany (ranked 2nd worldwide), France (ranked 3rd), England (ranked 5th), Australia (ranked 7th) or Japan (ranked 8th) are "not professional enough". Does it make sense that a player playing regularly in the top-league of the 2nd or 3rd ranked country worldwide does not have the same presumed notability as a player who plays even one minute in a country ranked 143rd worldwide (even in the second league)? --SuperJew (talk) 16:40, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SuperJew, you seem to be making a major error here there is no guideline that states that a man playing in a top level league is notable, only those in leagues that are deemed to have reliable sourcing to fully professional status.

Furthermore, the notion that simply playing one minute in a qualifying league is sufficient is also not true. You may wish to review these AfDs: Oscar Otazu, Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Aleksandr Salimov, Andrei Semenchuk, Artyom Dubovsky, Cosmos Munegabe, Marios Antoniades, Scott Sinclair, Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer, Matheus Eccard, Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Metodija Stepanovski, Linas Klimavičius, Takumi Ogawa, Nicky Fish and Andrei Nițu, amongst others. They are all examples of male footballers scraping over the NFOOTY line, but never really progressing and then being deleted as GNG failures. Undoubtedly, there are many more out there and I would encourage you to nominate them.

Finally it obviously makes sense that we don't assume notability for players in the top ranked women's leagues in the same way we do for the men, because they are inherently less notable. A simple analysis of key statistics shows that. For example, The FA WSL may be ranked 5th in the world for women's leagues, but this from the FA shows an average 2015 attendence of a mere 1,076. On the other hand , this shows the premier league to have had an average attendence of 35,324 for the same season, 33 times higher. Even if you look at the HK league you cited above, for the same season shows average attendences essentially equal to the WSL.

This is the reason in microcosm why WP:FPL, although not perfect works in the main: the 148th ranked men's league is just as popular (and I note in a country with a much lower population) as the 5th ranked women's league. There is no getting around this fact: the women's game, globally, attracts far less interest than the men's and is comparably less notable as a result. I reiterate though, for the millionth time, there are hundreds, if not thousands of female footballers who are notable not just through GNG, but also through NFOOTY via senior international appearances. I don't understand why no one picks up on this and starts writing articles for them. Fenix down (talk) 17:21, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. When you actually take the time to learn about the history of women's football / soccer, contribute to articles about women's football / soccer players, and earn some deserved authority, let us know. Here's a clue: DO NOT RELY ON WP: FOOTY. Women players are largely excluded by the project in every WikiProject-related regard, it should really be re-named Men's Football. Maybe the growth of women's football is threatening in some way despite the first FIFA Women's World Cup occurring in 1991 vs 1930 for the men. You can find plenty more of this type of thing and numerous conversations just like this re: notability in the project archives. Hmlarson (talk) 18:17, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See also this kind of IP hilarity: [12], 2.

Your ad hom adds nothing to the discussion. I'm not sure why you can't engage with a simple statistical analysis. Some sort of refutation of the observation that relative notability is perhaps indicated by simple statements such the FA WSL attracting as many spectators as the HK League would be more useful in supporting your argument. Anyhow, to me the best way to deal with gender bias is not to criticise other editors in AfDs on minor players but to get on and create articles on notable women. I already pointed out Egypt above. There are more than 25 articles on female senior international footballers in the current squad just waiting to be created and the rest of African women's football is just as neglected as far as I can see. Fenix down (talk) 18:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get right on that statistical report to summarize how many times this type of thing occurs and is "managed" by most of the same WP:FOOTY editors here, despite a project that is made up of approximately 400+ editors. Hmlarson (talk) 18:58, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Zein bint Hussein[edit]

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

A non-notable royal. Notability isn't inherited. Perhaps redirect to her fathers' page. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:50, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I'm not sure that there's any formal declaration of where we draw the line for "presumptive notability" for members of the royal families of reigning monarchs, for whom, after all, their potential notability literally is inherited. In this case, the article's subject is the daughter of a reigning king (rather than any of the more obscure relationships that can nevertheless lead to someone being a "Princess"), and I'd be inclined to consider that sufficiently significant; certainly so in comparison to the British Royal Family, where grandchildren of the monarch have articles. That said, I can't imagine that there hasn't been some minimally sufficient amount of coverage of her in the Jordanian press, although that's poorly represented online (and largely in Arabic, naturally). I know that, at the very least, there has been mention of her in the context of her own immediate family. Her son, Jaafar, is a successful Jordanian singer (with international coverage; he is probably notable in his own right). Her daughter Joumana is involved in the fashion industry and has apparently received some coverage in the Jordanian fashion magazine Layalina. From sources I wouldn't deem particularly reliable, I know that her husband is the brother of Princess Alia bint Hussein's second husband, and that Princess Zein has an adopted daughter in addition to her two biological children. I find it fairly implausible that such topics did not receive coverage from JRTV or any of the Jordanian newspapers. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:43, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I do believe her husband is the brother of her brother in law. This is surprisingly common in Arab culture. More importantly the coverage appears to be trivial to me, but then again the language and online bias that you mentioned could affect that. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've cleaned up the article a little, culled the content that was sourced from obvious non-RS, and added what I could find from English-language sources. Jordan Times only has searchable archives back to 2006 (and their search engine leaves a bit to be desired as well), and most of the newsworthy events involving Princess Zein predate that. If one believes that more significant coverage exists in Arabic, offline, then it is likely that she would pass the threshold of notability. If one believes that the easily available English sources are all there is to find, then this AFD is largely a question of whether the daughter of a king (and sister of his successor) crosses the bar of notability more easily than would similarly-sourced non-royalty (because I'm not even going to pretend that the cited sources would be otherwise sufficient). I'm still inclined to keep, citing the readiness of inclusion of members of the British royal family, systemic bias, and so forth. YMMV. I'm also fairly certain that her son Jaafar is notable on his own, but that doesn't speak directly to this deletion proposal. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:51, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is the English Wikipedia and there's people who flock to keep articles on royal fetuses of the United Kingdom. Having this helps balance things out. This article can be improved with Arabic sources. Here is one I found.

Tomas Karpavičius[edit]

Contested speedy deletion. Article on a civil servant, which does not qualify for inherent notability and must pass WP:GNG. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case here. Just a good, solid civil servant, who was selected as a "civil servant of the year" in Lithuania in 2015 and received some coverage for it(1 and 2). Unfortunately, that coverage is either very shallow (source 2) or not independent (source 1 lists his employer as an author, so it's effectively a PR piece). Finally, the article reads like a CV, the sources in the article are not independent and the article seems to be edited entirely by a COI editor (the username of the contributor and the username of the uploader of the photo suggest they are related to the Ministry of Communications, the subject's employer).

OurCrowd[edit]

Extensively informed PROD removed with an overpersonal comment yet I clearly and staunchly stated my concerns in that not only is everything listed here PR, but the searches such as this one are exactly finding PR itself, simply because a major news source publishes something is not actually saying the contents themselves are convincing; because in this case, not only are there actually press releases, there's then other trivial and unconvincing news such as what funding and financing the company has and how it's seeking additional funding and investors-clients (there's even such blatant PR as the company then talking about its locations and offices!), and as past AfDs have shown of course, that's a classic sign of a company, not only not being actually notable, but they haven't even established themselves with financing. Once we start accepting such blatant PR and advertisement "articles", we're completely damned as an encyclopedia because of such trivial sources being passed as "news", the article itself only ever actually focuses with things the company would only say of itself, not what an actual encyclopedia publishes.

WP:GNG says that notable articles should have "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". All of these articles have OurCrowd as the primary subject of their writing, so their coverage is substantial. All of them are from large, well-known, professional media outlets, so they're reliable sources. And I went and looked up every one of the authors on LinkedIn, to confirm that they were serious, experienced, professional journalists, and not "bloggers" or "contributors" or OurCrowd marketing people who weren't independent. Nevertheless, I'm sure people will be able to make up some excuse for why they don't count. Sigh. 2602:306:3A29:9B90:218F:3CEA:6D46:D5E9 (talk) 10:57, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It's quite noticeable that the sources consist of mere republished PR, including the ones above where the company is talking about their business plans and thoughts about funding and financing, something that is clear to be PR and that alone, because no one else knows better about the company's plans....than itself. Now, as the for the comment above as "LinkedIn shows these journalists are honest and serious", thst means absolutely nothing because not only are these their own websites and job listings, a PR agent is going to be as surreptitious as they can about PR actions, in attempts to make it so obvious. It's happened here at AfD Deletions thst then closed as Delete, with that. None of the Keep votes are actually substantiating themselves by what I said aboce, including where I explicitly noted these concerns, and this shows by the fact they are simply tossing links and calling them news, yet they are as my analyses and comments had shown, they are simply churnalism PR, certainly not PR-immune (again given the closeness of stating the company's own funding, financing and business plans). Despite that I explicitly showed where the sources are unacceptable, but then stating they are acceptable, is completely contrary. These Keep votes were so quick to list these links, it's clear, looking at them, there was republished PR, so then stating Keep because of sources, is not the same thing. The IP then actually states how "if they are significant news", yet this automatically means nothing if they are, again, republished PR; thisbalso shows by then stating "but someone will make excuses about these sources" is thin in itself since, again, the IP simply tossed some links but never either acknowledged and considered the concerns listed above, or, the PR concerns that laid in those listed sources. Once we start accepting PR campaign articles, we're damned as an encyclopedia. SwisterTwister talk 16:48, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ SwisterTwister. I agree completely with "Once we start accepting such blatant PR and advertisement "articles", we're completely damned as an encyclopedia because of such trivial sources being passed as "news", the article itself only ever actually focuses with things the company would only say of itself, not what an actual encyclopedia publishes." We should not accept such PR and advertising. But we also can't throw out any article which gets edited by a PR agent. It's a big problem because we lose a lot of notable content because on the surface the articles look like non notable cruft. What we need really is an official team supported by Wikimedia to patrol the site looking for advertising or articles threatend with deletion and get them to rewrite the articles and salvage them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - That's exactly the thing: accepting articles that were touched and overall contributed by the company and its PRvagents itself, is then actually hosting said advertisements, and it shows the need sources above clearly simply republished the company's own contents, therefore unacceptable. There is no compromise to accepting advertisements. SwisterTwister talk 17:53, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment When the RSes are clearly running churnalism, I have no problem calling that "promotional" and not considering it reliable sourcing to base an encyclopedia upon. While it's possible to interpret our RS rules such that things that are clearly barely-processed press releases would be treated as A+ first-class carefully-verified information you can absolutely rely upon, that does not mean that doing so is a good idea, and I really don't see that we're obliged to do so - David Gerard (talk) 00:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lots of sources from around the world listed here. Note that rewarmed press releases are secondary coverage, carrying the reliability of the secondary source. Churnalism or not, attention to the topic occurs when a rewarmed press release is printed. Newspaper's corporate lawyers remain just as responsible for what gets published, churnalism or not. And Wikipedia's verifiability should never be confused with Truth^TM. Unscintillating (talk) 03:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There is no "truth", especially not an encyclopedia, if we accept press releases, which are essentially contents all by the company itself, simply stating there are sources, yet not specifying which ones are the ones which would be used, considering the consensus above shows and states otherwise, also "rewarmed press releases are secondary coverage, carrying the reliability of the secondary source" is not the case at all since republished PR is still PR, no matter where published, that's what exactly we should not be accepted, not finding excuses to actually use them. If any attention to churnalistic PR occurs, it's because it's been carriaged as PR, and that's still nothing we would actually accept. In the case of "verifiability", that is exactly why we would not accept PR because we are simply using the company's own words, not what an encyclopedia should use itself.

Keep Coverage like this [30] profile/interview in Forbes make this Keep a slam-dunk. Notability is supported by coverage in RS. It just is.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:37, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum I hit that article by running a google news search on "Jonathan Medved" + "Our Crowd" as a way of checking whether coverage is as shallow as a user above asserts. in addition to that Forbes article you get stuff like this in Fortune (magazine): "OurCrowd, based in Jerusalem, has helped 100 companies raise $300 million since 2013. It has a network of 15,000 investors from 110 countries, about 2,000 of which are active in deals, says Jonathan Medved, the platform’s founder. Half of the site’s investors are based in the U.S.Not only has OurCrowd helped startups raise hundreds of millions of dollars, it’s enabled many to do so quickly. For example, Medved says OurCrowd helped one fintech company raise $4 million in 48 hours about two years ago. While that’s not the norm, Medved says, it isn’t unusual for companies to raise large sums of money in a matter of weeks, or a few months.“We can consistently raise millions of dollar for companies,” Medved says.Much like a venture capital firm, OurCrowd has created four investment funds that focus on sectors, regions, or the phase of a company’s growth. When investors invest, they also do so through so-called special purpose vehicles, or SPVs. Those are limited partnerships that gather together the investors as a single entity, which solves the problem of having too many stray investors in your company.OurCrowd also rejects 98% of the companies that come to it for financing, Medved says, and its vetting process plus its investment structure has garnered the interest of VCs. Well-known venture capital funds, including US Venture Partners, Spark Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Charles River Ventures, have invested alongside OurCrowd in its platform companies.“My biggest concern, and reason for not doing [Title III raises] is that in its current format, it does not allow for the SPV structure,” Medved says. “When you can aggregate everyone and represent them, you can act like a VC investor." [31]. This is not mere recycling of press releases. Next I searched "Jonathan Medved" in the Wall Street Journal [32]. Just keep and tag for improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That Forbes link is not an edited RS Forbes article, it's one of their third-party blog posts. It's just a blog post, not RS coverage of any sort.

I did not realize that, I asssumed that it was akin to being a "contributor" on a number of other reputable publications where a number of "contributors" are invited to post, but invitations to beocme a contributor only go to a limited number of recognized authorities in various fields.

Note the other sources that I brought. I am still firmly persuaded hat this topic passes WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:35, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and analysis - The Forbes is not an independent source because it's not only a mere interview where he is going to specifics, which of course includes what he wants to advertise about the company, the "journalist" is not n actual staff employee, she's a "contributor" from another place, so if she's not even an actual employee, there cannot be confidence of substance and convincing, therefore that's not a "Slam Dunk", because both people (the CEO and journalist) could be said to be a paid position to find and obtain PR, especially since she lists herself as a freelance journalist, a job that is noticeably heavy with PR. The own questions simply consist of "What's the company? How's it work? How can people invest? "What number of people can invest? What's the minimum a client can invest (of which they then list exact numbers of money (clear)), How's it work (a repeated question), etc. " This actually goes to continue for 4 pages, that shows the passion and efforts of advertising the company, therefore it's not guaranteed to be non-PR, especially considering the CEO saying everything.

As of November 2013, OurCrowd raised over $25M for its 30 portfolio companies.^[1] Contributions were raised from accredited investors in over 19 different countries. In January, 2016, OurCrowd brought together 3,000 investors and entrepreneurs for their annual summit in Jerusalem.^[2] In March, 2016, OurCrowd raised $10 million from Singapore's United Overseas Bank, with the stated goal of expanding into Asian markets.^[3]

this article is not in compliance with WP:NOT, and only serves to promote the company, rather than provide encyclopedic content. Sources brought to the AfD are equally unconvincing. They are only about funding, partnerships and corporate events, with no indications of why this company is significant:

OurCrowd, Bayer set up $15 million agtech fund in The Times of Israel.
OurCrowd draws 3,000 to Jerusalem Global Investor Summit in The Jerusalem Post.
Singapore's UOB and Israeli crowdfunding company team up in CNBC. Etc

The statement "Note that rewarmed press releases are secondary coverage, carrying the reliability of the secondary source. Churnalism or not, attention to the topic occurs when a rewarmed press release is printed is very odd, for two reasons:

Wikipedia requires reliable secondary sources, not just any secondary source. When publications redress press releases, they lose their reliability on this topic.
I completely disagree that "attention to the topic occurs when a rewarmed press release is printed", given that Wikipedia has a policy on WP:PROMO. When companies run ads in the same publications, this would also attract "attention", but we don't base articles on ads, do we?

Likewise, the Fortune article extensively quoted above is based on the interview with the founder. This is not an acceptable RS for the purpose of establishing notability. Note how many quotes from the founder are there. These are all potentially unverifiable claims, such as:

"Medved says OurCrowd helped one fintech company raise $4 million in 48 hours"
"“We can consistently raise millions of dollar for companies,” Medved says"
"OurCrowd also rejects 98% of the companies that come to it for financing, Medved says"

We'd literally be able to use nothing from the article as far as encyclopedic content is concerned. I thus advocate deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:25, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and analysis - To ensure there was a consensus about all this, I will note that the source above is exactly unconvincing since it merely lists the company's own plans including how it's achieving and planning to get money, that's not news, that's an attention listing for clients and investors, and is what happens to any company, particularly the staunch ones that are avid about money. The first sentence itself goes to actually then state what the company's plans are and the second paragraph goes to a quote before taking patterns between interview and funding quotes again, that shows alone it was not genuine journalism, if the company itself is occupying the space.

Some editors have becomes notorious for unwillingness to reconsider their initial opinion on notability, doubling down even in the face of evidence like "OurCrowd Aims to Widen Pool of Angel Investors to Main Street," Wall Street Journal article by Yulia Chernova, a journalist on tech and venture cap employed by the Journal [33] I linked to it above, but many editors only consider articles that support their own intransigent position.

Comment – I agree with the above notion about tone, which can often be corrected by copy editing articles. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:09, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- if the article were copy edited to remove intricate detail of no interest to the general public, as well as promotional content, it would be reduced to one or two paragraphs, resulting in a WP:DIRECTORY listing, which Wikipedia is not. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:20, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- As the extensive analysis has shown here, we cannot actually improve an article whose sole intentions were advertising to begin with, claiming it can be fixed when it in fact cannot is simply making an excuse to say "well, we can see if it can be fixed" instead of actually facing the facts and seeing it's not, because it's an advertisement with advertising sources therefore there are no sensible solutions to that. Also, it is not the same thing to literally say "There are sources! That must be enough for WP:CORPDEPTH" if the specific analyses here have explicitly shown they are all still trivial and unconvincing PR. As a note, the Keep votes here themselves have either tossed in some sources but not responded to actually substantiate themselves especially after the sources were found to be trivial and unconvincing PR, the other ones that have then commented are in fact acknowledging they are still PR and "puffery". When we start making compromises and keeping blatant advertisements, we're completely damned as a serious website. SwisterTwister talk 02:31, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SOAPBOX Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 02:33, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the only place in WP:NOT that discusses "soapbox":

3. Opinion pieces. Although some topics, particularly those concerning current affairs and politics, may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes" (for example, passionately advocate their pet point of view), Wikipedia is not the medium for this. Articles must be balanced to put entries, especially for current events, in a reasonable perspective, and represent a neutral point of view. Furthermore, Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete. However, Wikipedia's sister project Wikinews allows commentaries on its articles.

I honestly would've PRODed but it may be drive-by removed so we'll go with something heavier and AfD instead; none of this comes close at all for actual independent notability and substance, the listed links are trivial and unconvincing, certainly nothing for actual improvements and certainly nothing for convincing, searches quite noticeably found nothing, aside from a few other trivial and unconvincing links of course. I have never seen an actually convincing article for a "poster illustrator" but if there are some, which I believe I may have actually, they have certainly been better than this article. This was actually PRODed before, which I was going to use but it was boldly removed citing the "apparent sources", yet ironically, there's still nothing suggestive of improvements and they are not going to happen since it seems nothing major has actually happened in her career.

Comment: I'm just going to stick a fork in this one. It's a viable A7 candidate and I don't think that this would survive even if it lasted a full week. I'll also note that I had to block the editor that created the article, Sunnyrocks31 because they kept trying to stop the AfD by creating the article elsewhere, removing the AfD template, and even moving the AfD'd article to Wikipedia:Codenamed Bob and marking it as speedy deletion per user request - and then trying to create the article sans AfD template in the old location. It's all so deliberate and disruptive that I don't think that a temporary block would stop this type of disruption. Since there were so many attempts to evade AfD I'm also going to salt the various entries to hopefully avoid recreation - although I do believe it's likely that the user will come back under a new account name and try to recreate the article in some form or fashion.

Strong Keep and Close I don't know what the issue is here. This seems to be a mistaken nomination. The nominator quotes WP:BROADCAST as a deletion reasoning. BROADCAST itself mentions, "national or regional cable channels are presumed notable....most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes." The nominator is encouraged to follow basic search before nominating. It is not the number of citations inside the article, but the RS that exist in general that determine notability in deletion discussions. On just a simple Google News query, I ended up with a few hundreds of reliable sources on this channel's original programming and reach: Times of India, The Hindu, News Today, Times of India, Times of India, Times of India... I've added some sources to the article too. Well, I actually got tired of the number of sources. There you go. Lourdes 01:56, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This wasn't a mistaken nomination and secondly, I do conduct searches before nominating any article for deletion whether it is CSD or AfD.

The result was delete. I'll restore and move to the draft space on request if someone can demonstrate there are paper magazine sources for this band that weren't online, and they can commit to incorporating those into the article. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 01:11, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete barring reasonable evidence of sources. Paper magazines are still significant coverage in Germany, so I'd accept those. Did they get in the DAC at all? - David Gerard (talk) 17:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't two albums on Slap-a-Ham Records and Power It Up Records and two shows on the Maryland Deathfest and several reviews in Germany's 27-year-old indie mag "Ox" enough? Well, you will know. Kind regards, Grueslayer Let's talk. 21:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The guideline is WP:NMUSIC. If they have lots of reviews in lots of papers that might count, and particularly if they toured internationally and there's proper third-party review coverage at the WP:RS (so, not blog) level. A band of this history surely left a paper trail behind them ... but it needs to be detailed in the article, not just be possible - David Gerard (talk) 19:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
