Delete I trimmed the article of the Blogspot and Eventbrite 'references', and it is now clear that htis is non-notable artist based on the refs. The promotional writng and the hyped style don't help.96.127.242.251 (talk) 06:26, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not very much to go on here. Certainly an artist, and certainly has gained some attention for his work. However, there's insufficient evidence of anything that would support passing WP:NARTIST. I poked around in news sources, and came up with a blog and some passing references, 4 in total [1]. Certainly nothing to support a pass under WP:GNG either.

Delete. Las Vegas is a large and prominent enough city that a city councillor would be accepted as notable if the article were substanced and sourced well enough to satisfy WP:NPOL #2 — but serving on a city council is not an automatic inclusion freebie that entitles a person to keep an article that's based solely on two primary sources and one glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about somebody else. Bearcat (talk) 04:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: Again, we cannot conflate article quality and notability. If a Las Vegas city councillor would normally be accepted as notable, then he's notable. The article might be weak, but it has a few sources. With the proviso of the above "normally accepted as notable" status, this article is in need of improvement and expansion, but not deletion. Montanabw(talk) 06:16, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, city councillors would not be "normally" accepted as notable — they're accepted as notable if, and only if, they are sourced well enough to satisfy WP:NPOL #2. Not "might someday become sourced enough", but "already are sourced enough in the here and now". Las Vegas is not a city where the councillors get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing; it's a city where they're accepted as notable if they're sourced well enough to pass NPOL #2, and not if they aren't.

Delete Fails NPOLITICIAN. If he's done something beyond the city councillor level, then I'd be fine with the article returning.

Comment I've made a massive reduction. Part of the problem is that the topic in research journals is somewhat different from this corporate entity.

This is probably a notable topic. The problem is that 99.9% of what is written in here right now oscillates between unsourced and wrong.
As I mentioned two years ago at Talk:Singing_bowl#Possible_hoax_.28November_2015.29, it is extremely dubious that such bowls existed in Tibetan/Himalayan temples before Western tourists wanted to buy them. All sources attesting to their presence in that area are holistic healing and similar nonreliable sources.
It seems probable that such bowls do exist in Japan, and possibly Korea/India, and are notable here. But the current state of the article is based purely on Tibetan stuff of dubious reliability. So that is a case of WP:V trumping WP:N, or to put it less charitably WP:TNT. TigraanClick here to contact me 15:26, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There isn't a single citation, reliable or otherwise, in the article. That alone justifies deletion. The topic does seem, however, to be of potential interest. I thus encourage someone (it won't be me) to re-work the article into something more encyclopedic. That process should start with the addition of reliable sources. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 19:08, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject is obviously notable – can't we just remove all the dubious unsourced stuff and cut it back to a stub? There are plenty of articles on the subject on other language Wikipedias – these may assist then in developing the stub into something valid and properly referenced. --Deskford (talk) 21:37, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The title may not help. According to this page the term 'singing bowl' is modern, and I suspect may be a Western invention. I've never come across its use in connection with Buddhist practice in Japan, where similar bowls are generally known in English as 'rin gongs', or as 'bells'. Unfortunately there seems to have been little written in English, at least as far as I can tell from Google searches. I think that reliable sources are going to require someone to search the non-English literature. MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:39, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Any accretion of woo to this article (and WP isn't fussy elsewhere!) is zero reason, per WP policy, to delete an article on a viable topic.
Also TNT is not policy, as we're forever reminded of when we encounter an article that really needs it. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How is that topic viable (i.e. notable)?
Yes, I know, I wrote in the nom that the topic is probably notable. But the operative word is probably. I think more likely than not than the topic is notable, because File:Rin_gong_at_Kiyomizu-dera,_Kyoto.JPG is probably not a staged photo-op and other circumstancial evidence (blogs etc.) I found. I believe it is more likely than not that WP:NONENG sources exist, satisfy and even exceed the notability. But all that is pure belief in the absence of having a source at hand (and yes, I did WP:BEFORE but again, English gives no RS. I just looked in French, it does not seem any better.)
Moreover, even assuming notability is met, if the current content of the article is unsalvageable, it would still be valid grounds for deletion. Not because WP:TNT is policy, but because WP:V is - we don't leave around hoax articles waiting for someone to fix them, we delete them and allow recreation of a correct version. TigraanClick here to contact me 16:53, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete It is (oddly) totally unsourced, I am not having a lot of luck finding any RS. but did find this [2].Slatersteven (talk) 16:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not "totally unsourced", except briefly when a passing IP chose to delete them. It is uncited, which is different. It would obviously benefit from inlined citations, which would in turn benefit from more specific page numbers. That would improve the verifiability of content within the article.
However, as it effects demonstrating notability, the sources already included as general references (which is permitted, if discouraged) are already enough to do this. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:34, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure they do, a couple appear to be primary sources. Without inline citations the others may not be quite as clear cut, for example does an article about a device that mimics them establish notability for what it mimics?Slatersteven (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The phys.org source leads to [9] which cites [10] for the historic content. From the section I could consult, the first reports of singing bowls in Tibet came in the 1960s. The author explains that by Buddhist monks using them for ritual purposes and keeping them secret until the Chinese occupation forced monks into exile and some of them getting sold. While the source looks somewhat POV (as you would expect from a "handbook of instruction and use"), it is probably kinda-sorta reliable at least for those reports, so could be used (not for Wikipedia voice, but for "reports say"). TigraanClick here to contact me 10:02, 18 October 2017 (UTC) I realize this was already in the further refs section, but the title gave me no incentive to read an obviously in-universe source.

The book about entrainment is interesting although if I remember other than for music/rhythm etrainment itself, those who have tried to reproduce brainwave synchronization/frequency-following response hypotheses like Monroe's experiments failed, except when using wired headphones, suggesting that electromagnetics may have a more important effect than the audio, if any. There's probably no problem to report those aspects as beliefs with attribution, however... —PaleoNeonate – 04:30, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to meet WP:COI, WP:GNG, WP:BLP, WP:AB, WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NOT policy
Likely fails to meet WP:PROF, but this is secondary in light of other concerns.
From the edit history, it appears that this article was written by the subject himself from various IP addresses, with the goal of self-promotion:
Almost all of the content of the article comes from 130.15.1.241, which has only ever edited the Roel Vertegaal article (and is A Queen's University IP). Other contributors include 67.193.129.113, which has edited the Roel Vertegaal and Human Media Lab (Vertegaal’s lab) articles, and 67.193.192.237, which has edited only the Roel Vertegaal, Flexible Display, and Organic User Interfaces articles (located in the same city as Queen’s University).
The subject of this article fails the WP:GNG and WP:PROF policies:
It establishes Vertegaal’s notability as an academic by appealing almost entirely to primary sources authored by Vertegaal himself.
Of the 20 references given, only 3 refer to sources that are not written by the subject himself. 16 of the other references fail WP:NOR, being primary sources (largely conference papers) authored or co-authored by Vertegaal himself. According to WP:PROF “. . .it is necessary to explicitly demonstrate, by a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers other than the person in question, that this contribution is indeed widely considered to be significant. . .”
The Roel Vertegaal#Startups section of the biography consists entirely of material promoting Vertegaal’s own business interests and does not adhere to wikipedia’s guidelines regarding NPOV or self-promotion. It supports Vertegaal's standing in the business community with a link to [Xuuk Inc], which is an “Account Suspended” page.
This article is peppered with claims that are either exaggerated, non-notable, or unsourced. Here are a few examples.
A reference in the introduction to “pioneering work,” backed up only by primary sources (academic conference papers), which have the subject himself as an author.
The sentence: “He is also known for inventing ubiquitous eye input, such as Samsung's Smart Pause technologies, and BitDrones, one of the first programmable matter user interfaces” is completely unsourced.
The sentence: “Vertegaal developed one of the first inline PC webcams, FrameServer, deployed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak” is not sourced, but does feature a link to a listserv post in which Vertegaal himself describes an internet webcam interface he developed—far from “inventing one of the first inline PC webcams.”
The biography also includes numerous examples of unsourced personal information, including the grammar school Vertegaal attended, what brand of synthesizer Vertegaal used as a child, an undergraduate scholarship, and the brand of sports car that he drives. None of these are supported, except for the sports car, which is supported by a reference to Vertegaal’s own twitter account.
I nominate this article for deletion. If it is determined that the subject of the article does meet WP:PROF notability guidelines, it will nonetheless need to be entirely rewritten without the self-promoting material (which, as it stands, is the entire article).

Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only as executive director of an individual theatre. As always, every executive director of every organization does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing -- she would need to be sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG. But the sources here are all primary sources — her "staff" profile on the website of an organization she's directly affiliated with, a blog entry on the website of another community development organization, and a piece of media coverage she wrote about herself — which means that exactly none of them are notability-assisting sources at all. She needs to be the subject of media coverage written by somebody other than herself to pass GNG; a person does not get a Wikipedia article just because staff profiles and her own diary of her day technically verify that she exists.

Delete - The vast majority of coverage on the studio was when they opened, but it fails WP:SUSTAINED. Most of the other articles mentioning them are predominantly about Elder Scrolls Legends, not the studio itself. WP:NOTINHERITED applies here.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:02, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:GNG. Ongoing coverage of the studio's work and its relation to that work constitutes sustained coverage. For example this provides both non-trivial coverage of the studio and of the game it is producing. The coverage of the game does not detract from the coverage of the studio.

That is a WP:PRIMARY rather than a secondary source. Those can be used in an article but are not evidence of notability on their own.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:01, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The interview itself is primary but the information surrounding it is secondary. Besides, for the purpose of WP:SUSTAINED common sense dictates that interviews would be evidence that the subject has attracted attention over a significant period of time. This, combined with the other earlier significant third party coverage satisfies the notability criteria. Winner 42Talk to me! 14:33, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sufficiently noticeable appeareances in movies where at least one of his roles was integral to the plot. The fact that he there played drag queens and hookers should not be used against him. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:34, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You misunderstood my nomination I believe. It is not the fact that his roles were drag queens or hookers but the fact that he didn't have named roles and clearly just bit parts because he is credited as "drag queen" or "hooker" hence my speech marks in the nomination. Which film was his role integral to the plot? That might help to prove notability Domdeparis (talk) 18:57, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are YouTube links from some of those films. I saw once that he was a murder victim around which the drama centered. I cannot name the picture at this moment and I do not have time to research it. Sorry! Much more could have been done on Carter, as rare and remarkable as it was that a man played a woman (not a transvestite) in a noticeable movie part. Haven't these things been mentioned in the article(s?) linked to in the refs?

COI is not in itself relevant to deletion, no matter what you and your new tag-along Swedish pal think. Thousands of COI articles are kept because they are well sourced anyway. This article was only created because there were independent sources about this man which looked reliable. There was nothing sufficient in any information the creator had on his own.

Non-notable government official in the Song dynasty. Looks like a genealogy entry. No information (including a birth or death date) on him other than his names and that he was a government official. His genealogy does not qualify as information on him as an individual. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalenciaᐐT₳LKᐬ 05:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject has no claim to notability. I couldn't find mention of the subject in either of the two online sources (based upon Google translate). While there might be other foreign-language material about the subject, without a means to verify I am not ok with presuming notability. Subject otherwise fails GNG and ANYBIO. Chris Troutman (talk) 09:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The claim to notability is this Chinese individual supposedly fathered Lý Thái Tổ (Lý Công Uẩn) who founded the Vietnamese Lý dynasty. If true, this has some nationalist implications, like how Barack Obama Sr. is notable especially in Kenya nowadays. However, according to the Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư (an "official" Vietnamese history book written in Chinese) Lý Thái Tổ's father was a god who impregnated his mortal mother. This Lý Thuần An/Li Chun'an individual's name was only mentioned in a genealogical book recently discovered in Quanzhou (which is in coastal southeastern China and not at all close to Vietnam which borders southwestern China). In the book, Lý Công Uẩn was said to be in fact from Quanzhou and went to Vietnam for trade (which of course meant that the official Vietnamese claim of him being born in a Buddhist pagoda in Vietnamese territory was a lie). Is it believable? It's hard to say. For one, genealogical books in China aren't very historical accurate, at least compared to "official history" books. However, East Asian "official history" books aren't very trustworthy when it comes to origins of founding emperors either — being the son of a god was clearly nonsense, and it's possible Lý Công Uẩn was ethnic Chinese and claimed to be ethnic Vietnamese, just like how Shi Jingtang (I use the example since his son Shi Chonggui is mentioned in the article) claimed to be Chinese when he was almost certainly a Shatuo. Secondly, Quanzhou in the 10th century (as well as the centuries after that) was a semi-major port for foreign traders, and the likelihood of people immigrating from that place is probably higher than the rest of China except for border regions. That said, what should we do here? There are two solutions: A) merge to Lý Thái Tổ, which seems more sensible considering how short this article is, and B) Keep and rename to Li Chun'an since Chinese individuals shouldn't use Vietnamese romanizations of Chinese characters. Timmyshin (talk) 06:39, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Lý Thái Tổ. There's little to no verifiable information about this person. --Antigng (talk) 03:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's an argument that any human being from over 1000 years ago for whom we have any reliable information about ought to be included on Wikipedia. But back to our formal notability guidelines, I think the combination of the cited Chinese and Vietnamese sources would be sufficient to establish notability. Deryck C. 10:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
...and do not merge, since we've established so far that he is likely the son of Li Song (politician) and also and likely the father of Lý Thái Tổ. The fact that reliable sources have described both uncertain claims would make it appropriate to have a standalone article about this person, since there's no compelling reason to merge one way rather than the other. Deryck C. 10:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't see any evidence this is a hoax. If it is real, a known government official from 1000 years ago whose son was an emperor and was posthumously granted the rank of king seems suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Smmurphy(Talk) 14:21, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I just moved the article to Li Chun'an. Apparently he was the son of Li Song (politician) (if this is to be believed), getting more interesting.... Timmyshin (talk) 12:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Lý Thái Tổ. While the person would be, I think, otherwise notable enough for an article if he existed, it is not clear that if he existed that he was actually Lý Công Uẩn's father; at best, it is from a disputable source (genealogy) that was not even a dynastic official(ly invented) account. This possible account can be noted in the son's article (in a sentence or two). --Nlu (talk) 15:55, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The genealogy book is kind of suspect, allegedly compiled in the Ming dynasty but probably reedited in the late Qing dynasty and only recently re-discovered. However, it does fit the 11th-century claim that Lý Thái Tổ was of Fujianese extraction: [25]: "交趾...其後國人共立閩人李公蘊為主". The book Dream Pool Essays may not be a historical source, but considering the author Shen Kuo served in the Song dynasty imperial government (as did his father and grandfather) and he was only 1-2 generations after Lý Thái Tổ, there is likely some basis to this rumor. About the possibility of him being Li Song (politician)'s son: "His entire family was executed..." at the end of that article is likely inaccurate as well. History of Song[26]: "漢末,崧被誅。至是,其子璨自蘇州常熟縣令赴調". So at least 1 son named Li Can escaped that bloodbath, likely to Southern Tang. But according to Sushui Jiwen[27]: "諫議大夫李宗詠,晉侍中崧之孫也... 崧之遇禍,粲猶在繈褓,其母投之墻外,身隨以出,由是獨免" there are no other survivors besides Li Can. But this Li Can's story is even harder to believe in my opinion. Timmyshin (talk) 19:16, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While genealogy books are suspect, it does concur with the general agreement that Lý Thái Tổ's father was of Fujian extraction. The amount of sources from both sides seems credible enough on a superficial inspection. I do share Timmyshin's concern with some of the possible inaccurate statement in the article. However, it appears that the article is of decent length, and if person in question was later given the title Hiển Khánh vương by Lý Thái Tổ, as taken from the Vietnamese wiki page, then it seems that the subject is historically significant enough to have an article. The problem with merging is whether or not he was really Lý Thái Tổ's father, which is apparently both agreed upon and disputed by the Vietnamese sources, so thus the page should be kept separate.TTTAssasinator (talk) 23:20, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lý Thái Tổ honoring his father posthumously as "Hiển Khánh vương" (顯慶王, "King Hiển Khánh") is definitely to be believed, as it's mentioned in official historiography like Khâm định Việt sử Thông giám cương mục and Đại Việt sử lược[28], and I don't know why anyone would lie about that. But I don't think a posthumous title alone is enough to establish notability. Timmyshin (talk) 13:35, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment someone needs to add this topic to Vietnam-related AFD discussions. Timmyshin (talk) 13:35, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How believable is that genealogical book? I compared the birth/death dates of Li Song (politician) and Lý Thái Tổ found in that book with dates found in more reliable sources:
Header text
Genealogical book (李莊厝內李氏房譜)
Official history
Li Song (politician)
Born: 19 April 883 (唐中和三年癸卯三月初九)
Unknown, but 883 is believable
Died: 10 November 948 (後漢乾祐元年十月念七)
12 December 948 (乾祐元年戊申十一月甲寅)
Lý Thái Tổ
Born: 18 February 974 (北宋雍熙元年正月十四)
8 March 974 (太平五年二月十七日)
Died: 7 November 1028 (天聖六年戊辰十月十八)
31 March 1028 (戊辰順天十九年三月戊戌)
So none of the dates are accurate, even though the years all match up correctly (Actually 雍熙元年正月 is technically incorrect, it should be 太平興國九年正月, though considering the distance from Quanzhou and [[[Central Plains]], making mistakes like that during an era name change is probably not unusual).

Also meets criteria 5 (had 2 albums released on FiXT Music) and 6 (was created by Klayton and contained Varien at one point). With that said, the number of social media links on the article is concerning, however, it meets the criteria regardless. (non-admin closure)TheSandDoctor (talk) 16:49, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Extended discussion about notability and not a !Vote
In regards to both WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO
Wikipedia: Notability clearly states:
"A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and
2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy."
This means that even if it doesn't follow the general notability guideline on the page, you can use the subject-specific guideline to create the article. In this case we would be using Wikipedia: Notability (music). There are 12 different possible criteria for musicians and ensembles, Scandroid fits both criteria 5 and criteria 6. Both can be applied to Scandroid; therefore this deletion is unnecessary. The article simply needs to be edited to supply more information. I've already explained twice in the Scandroid Talk page why I believe they fit both criteria.

Checking criteria 2 right now, currently I have evidence that Scandroid has topped digital charts over and over on Amazon and iTunes. However I understand wiki guidelines require more.
And Billboard? ^^^ Topped at #5 on Top/Dance Electronic. Also it's been added recently to the Scandroid article that they topped on Heartseekers Albums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casshums (talk • contribs) 15:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That generated so much press for them though. Where are the feature-length articles about the duo? That's what GNG requires. The other criteria simply states that the subject may be notable if the criteria is met. It never claims that the subject is notable. The longest piece I've found in a RS is https://www.allmusic.com/artist/scandroid-mn0003455671/biography and that claims it's a solo project of Klayton's, so merge and redirect there at best. It also means that there are not two notable subjects in the band. Not even https://www.allmusic.com/album/scandroid-mw0002991393 is a review, just a track listing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need to get snarky, remember you are suppose to be a neutral party. Is that not one of the rules? The project is currently a solo project yes, because Varien left to focus on Varien back in August of 2014. But that doesn't dismiss the fact that criteria 2 and 5 are still met. The project has topped charts on Billboard, and has produced two albums, three remix albums, two singles, with another album debut coming next week. If you want to get technical, even the notability guidelines state that something doesn't necessarily need to have fame, importance, or popularity. Those things simply add to popular opinion on the topic. cssc 16:19, 20 October 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casshums (talk • contribs)
Sarcasm not snark. Neutrality is for the content in articles, not needed when discussion the lack of notability of a side-project for a band and whether its notable or not. Take the facts up with the author at AllMusic. GNG is not met and it must be. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:24, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You should still be neutral regardless, having a bias against a specific topic means that this deletion could be done out of bad faith. I don't want to believe that though. Anyways, this is going to continue to loop: GNG has two basic rules and this page meets the notability required for music as a subject specific category. The article is being rewritten and reworked in order to supply more information in regards to the topic at hand. That is all that there is. Deleting this article is not necessary as it still follows Wikipedia's MUSICBIO criteria. I understand that you, personally, would prefer more GNG and that will come with time. cssc 16:42, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Although you may not consider this subtantial, here are some stats:
According to klayton.info/press/ there exists approximately 13 interviews regarding Scandroid, 38 features (both discussions on artists or features of a specific album/single), and around 16 reviews of numerous albums/singles. These are all approximations, as it is quite possible more exists. And with the release of Monochrome in one week there will be more press coverage.
Many of these interviews, features, and reviews are independent of the subject, and are reliable based on their connection to their subsidaries. Yes they have to be weeded through, but you cannot justify deletion simply based off of this. Those music guidelines are put in place to help protect smaller artists from deletion too, that is why GNG does not always apply in regards to musicians and ensembles. Sometimes the only coverage that exists for smaller groups is social media, and local outreach. This is easily not the case here, as there have been individuals writing articles, interviews, and reviews of Scandroid for quite a while now. cssc 17:33, 20 October 2017 (UTC) edit: reset for text wrap
Keep. A quick Google search found [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39]. The coverage isn't stellar but is adequate, and a #5 hit on a Billboard specialist chart is a decent claim to notability. --Michig (talk) 08:32, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to Keep, I have been working on writing the entire article and rewriting parts of it to help meet the "GNG" demands. I still believe that, as the Wikipedia:Notability clearly states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: 1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and 2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.". This article clearly met, and now even more so meets, the guidelines set out by Wikipedia:Notability (music) and deserves to remain up. I'm still going to continue to work on the article, but I wanted to make my opinion/statement clear (once again). cssc 16:21, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

I agree with your rationale. So far, Half Marriage has had 1350+ views in the past 30 days whereas Half Marriage (TV series) has racked up 500+ in just the past week. Since its a new show, I'm guessing its the influx of readers curious to know more about it. From the limited time the article has existed, its not possible to say whether it'll consistently get more views or not. Same could be said for Special:WhatLinksHere for the two pages. The first one has more articles linking to it since it's been around for longer. The second one could gain more as time passes or remain the same. It's best to wait for some time before making a decision regarding the primary topic in this case. Jiten talk contribs 21:28, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, in looking at a primary topic change we would need to assess 'long-term significance' and it is much too early for that. No prejudice against a WP:RM at some point in the future, but too early to change the primary topic. Boleyn (talk) 07:06, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at relevant pageviews shows that there's no primary topic. The earliest Google News sources I find for the Indian TV series is from August 2017. [41] Using July 2015 to July 2017 as a date range, Half Marriage, about the 1929 film, averages 5 hits a day. [42] After the news of the TV series spreads in August 2017, the pageviews from that month to today goes up to 31 hits a day, [43] and to 50 hits a day in the last month. [44] The page on the TV series has averaged 55 hits a day since its creation.[45] Given the timing, the logical conclusion is not that an old film is somehow regaining significance and popularity, but that the new Indian TV series (which has several Indian RS reporting on it) is what the majority of viewers want. We should not be directing readers to the wrong page. There's no reason why we should be favouring an old Western film, over a modern Indian TV series, when there is no evidence that the film is the primary topic, especially when the majority of viewers actually want the TV series. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:35, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Finding signal in the noise of the search results for this is actually quite difficult: MLM companies tend to encourage the creation of spam websites on the part of their "distributors".

I am on the fence about this. Clearly this is an entity that exists and is using its platform to disseminate information. Readers may turn to Wikipedia to determine whether this source is reliable. If it is at all possible to provide readers with an accurate picture of the biases and motivations of the publishers of that source, I feel that we have a duty to carry this out.

Usually when we draftify something at AfD it's because someone is clamoring to work on the article and save it. Nobody has turned up to make a keep argument for this thing in nearly a week.

List of naval collaboration treaties signed by the Ottoman Empire[edit]
Unclear scope; "naval collaboration" is a novel and unclear term for a treaty, and many of these treaties are peace treaties with at most some commercial or navigation clauses. The article claims that "These treaties were instrumental to establishment of the Ottoman Naval force.", but the Ottoman navy was established by the 15th century, and most of these treaties are later than that. All in all, this appears to be textbook WP:OR. Constantine ✍ 11:53, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. There is no such thing (so far as I can tell) called a naval collaboration treaty. There are treaties and there is naval collaboration, so the term itself is OR. Most of this list are red links (if they were linked at all) and unsourced. No one is writing about the subject so a list of NN treaties doesn't make sense.

Keep i think the purpose of creating this article is developing Wikipedia. but sources should improve . so i think it not be deleted Lifeisstudyinghard (talk) 14:30, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Naval treaties of the Ottoman Empire. In WP, OR tends to imply that the editor is guilty of invention. I am prepared to trust that the author has got sources, which are indeed cited, though with syntax errors. There will also be treaties relating to land borders and commercial treaties. My guess is that "naval collaboration" refers to an alliance against a common enemy. It may be that the full length articles will not be about one treaty but successive treaties or international relations generally between Ottoman Empire and respectively Venice, Ragusa, Great Britain, etc. Please note for England/GB/UK that there is no need to split these according to the title of the state as international relations come under the Royal Prerogative, and there was only one lot of relations between the English/British crown and a foreign state. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:18, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OR does not refer to the treaties themselves, but to the topic at hand, and the specific subset of treaties included therein by some unspecified criteria as related to it. As someone who is actually somewhat knowledgeable about Ottoman history, apart possibly from the treaties with France, most of them definitely do not have the sense of "an alliance against a common enemy", and again, most of them are not primarily naval treaties, merely treaties that include clauses on navigation and commerce.

@Hmlarson: I will probably abstain from voting on this (currently towards a weak delete based on evidence provided) but I will second Ravenswing's request for naming the specific articles that meet GNG. Most are from Excelle Sports, a site dedicated to women's sports. While I cannot claim to know the reliability of that news source, if we were to consider it a good GNG-type source, only one use would count for GNG as Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability (bolding is directly from the guideline). In regards to SB Nation (Blueshirt Banter and The Ice Garden), we have already discussed this and why the site is questionable as a reliable source. They are typically blogs written for a very specific demographic and often just written as an opinion or a commentary on team news. The others are WP:PRIMARY and WP:ROUTINE coverage and stats pages.

@Yosemiter: Yes, as noted towards the very end of the previous discussion in response to your note that you find SB Nation "a highly useful site for routine day-to-day info on specific teams" and "possibly a reliable source for background information" ... I wrote, "I frequent SB Nation sites/blogs also -- perhaps initially drawn to them by the frequency of their use as citations in other sports-related articles on Wikipedia... SB Nation Editorial Board and reach. 'Independence standards' are subjective (see also Fox News and RT as a reliable source), thanks for sharing your take." Hmlarson (talk) 21:33, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is, of course, a difference between sources sufficient to support assertions made in an article (for which primary sources are often quite acceptable) and sources meeting the standards required to support the notability of the subject. Certainly in the hockey Wikiproject we rely heavily on nhl.com, the Internet Hockey Database, hockey-reference.com and eliteprospects.com, without the slightest misimpression that any of those sites can contribute squat to notability. Ravenswing 22:42, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As Ravenswing mentions, a source can be reliable for sourcing a bit of information while not providing evidence of notability. SB Nation just reposts blogs from blog sites, as such they don't support notability, sites like eliteprospects are just stats sites so don't show notability, but both might be reliable for something like a stat or who scored a goal etc. -DJSasso (talk) 00:58, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Madison Packer is an alternate captain for one of the top women's ice hockey leagues, and is individually significant to women's ice hockey. I disagree that the sources cited are all blogs - women's ice hockey reporting is unfortunately somewhat segregated from 'ice hockey' reporting, but women's sports journalism is still independent sports journalism with notability and an audience. Boopitydoopityboop (talk) 05:33, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then by all means explain which ones on the page are not blogs. The B in SB Nation literally stands for Blog. The issue isn't that they don't have an audience. It is that blogs don't meet the requirements of being a reliable source for notability on Wikipedia. Being notable on Wikipedia isn't about audience or popularity or being significant in a sport. It only comes from being reported on in reliable sources. And even if you included the two SB Nations blogs, they just mention her in passing, they don't go into depth about her as required. -DJSasso (talk) 10:53, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep SB Nation is a reliable source which has been cited by national sports media such as ESPN, and has on many occasions broken major stories themselves. Maybe the B originally stood for blog, but it's like SAT. The abbreviation has outlived its purpose, but there's too much inertia to change it. Which is why nobody calls it "Sports Blog Nation", nor have they for some time. Fails WP:NHOCKEY but passes WP:GNG on these mentions. Smartyllama (talk) 15:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Unfortunately, I am not seeing sources beyond the routine coverage that any minor league player would receive and since I don't hold GNG to a lower standard for women, there just is not enough in depth coverage from independent sources.

Delete I ran a specialized search on all industrial design journals I could find online, and absolutely nothing popped up. I also found two passing mentions in paywalled articles from 1987 ([49], [50]), giving DAXCAD as a typical example of CAD software, but that is well short of notability. TigraanClick here to contact me 09:54, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article has been marked for deletion due to non-notable software which was based on an internet search presumably. I can understand this to a point. However DAXCAD was commercial software long before the advent of search engines and the internet. As such its not surprising that there are no references to this software - however this does not take away from the fact that DAXCAD was a notable software package in the United Kingdom and other countries in the 1980's and early 90's. I was not aware that just because something was not the subject of an internet search - that its not eligible for Wikipedia. I and others have transferred our knowledge of a well known and well used CAD software application to Wikipedia to make it part of the great knowledge base. Most information about DAXCAD would have been on paper. Before the concept of the search engine this kind of information would have been in trade journals, trade shows and so on. It doesnt take away from the notability at the time. If the concept of notability has to be that the information must be part of a google search - then of course the article should be removed. If the aspect of notability is time based - in that DAXCAD was notable in 1989 - but is no longer because its not used - then this article offers a way to ensure that the information about the software is indexed and kept for relative posterity. I do understand that when the information is in peoples heads and there is no electronic version of the information then it can be difficult to find notable examples. For example - Prof. Stuart Bunt had written a paper on DAXCAD - called Cream of the CAD Packages in 1986 - but he wrote this on an Apricot computer than never transferred its information to the internet. I was able to contact Prof Blunt in 2007 and he gave me the original reference Cream of the CAD packages, Daxcad by Practical Technology. Apricot file 1.7, 2-4. Bunt, S. M. 1986 however the file is lost in the mists of time. You cannot do an internet search - but it does not detract from its existence in 1986. I leave it to the immeasurably superior minds of Wikipedia guardians to make the decision - but you are erasing information which is part of small corner of human history that is perhaps not that interesting to everyone - but is - in my opinion - notable nevertheless.

@Davyrobertson: thanks for giving us what you have, but I have a few points.
its not surprising that there are no references to this software - however this does not take away from the fact that DAXCAD was a notable software package - You probably use "notable" in the usual meaning of the term, but on Wikipedia it has a very specific meaning, which is essentially "has been written about at length by reliable sources independent of the subject". So the lack of references is a lack of notability.
This being said, it is not necessary that such sources be accessible online. I am willing to accept your claim of an Apricot File article in 1986. However, if even you do not have access to it, it is not going to help a lot: we are not going to base any content on a source we cannot access! The requirement of sources is not a procedural quirk, it is how we strive to ensure Wikipedia articles are unbiased, non-speculative etc.
So basically the big question is: do you have access to that source (meaning you can read it)? TigraanClick here to contact me 11:29, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the accusation of "Another example of corporate promotion/spam" (below),
WP, unlike traditional encyclopedias, includes articles on commercial products
"And such articles must necessarily describe those products."
Some descriptions will necessarily ..be viewed as positive, i.e., reasons why one might consider buying the product.
There's more there.
My personal addition to the above-cited is: if the article has mistakes, please correct them. Even add negative statements, if true, such as slower than X, more complicated to use than Y, lacks feature Z, etc. Wiki is meant to be crowd-sourced. The article seems NPOV. Perhaps the one thing I see lacking is the scarcity of SourceForge-version specifics.
"Corporate promotion/spam" - does that apply to the dead as a door nail 1980s stuff, or to the SourceForge most-recent-update-2014 that's freely available for download. Pi314m (talk) 05:46, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Pi314m: the problem in that case is to demonstrate that this software is "notable", meaning it has been described by previously published reliable sources independent of the subject. If it is not, the problem is not fixable. Being a link in the chain of CAD technology certainly is not enough (CAD is notable and we have an article about it, but see WP:INHERITED).

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all at issue in the same multi-hook DYK nomination and all have similar subject matter that I question in terms of its encyclopedic nature:
This article has become controversial at WP:DYK, where it is currently part of a nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Tawhai Hill, Kānuka Hills, Pūkio Stream. There has been extensive discussion about the propriety of the hook there and at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Using_the_.22N.22_word_multiple_times_in_a_hook. Those discussions surround the propriety of the words used in the nominated DYK hook. Eventually, I called into question the notability of the three related articles in the hook. To me, the articles appear to be "just Hills that all were renamed after a bit of controversy". I find little encyclopedic content in any of the three articles and thus question the notability. When I mentioned this an editor opened up a merge discussion at Talk:Canterbury,_New_Zealand#Proposed_merge, but I feel that is a bit of a back-door deletion. I think the articles should be given a formal WP:AFD review. Comments welcome. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:30, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all to Canterbury, New Zealand#Geography. These are not independently notable landforms; rather, their sole claim to notability comes from the decision of the Canterbury, New Zealand authorities to collectively rename them. Had any one of them been renamed individually, that would likely not even have been taken note of. bd2412T 01:59, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge' into Canterbury, New Zealand#Geography. As reviewer of the DYK, I was skeptical of having three articles about places that seem to be notable only because they were once offensively named and no longer are. The information would be useful as a historical anecdote and useful for geographers to understand old maps and references, but probably not ready for stand-alone articles. - Owlsmcgee (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CommentWP:GEOLAND says "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist."

Merge all three to New Zealand Geographic Board. I've had a look which district they are in, but as they fall across two different districts (Hurunui District for Tawhai Hill, and the other two are in Selwyn District), it is indeed the Canterbury Region that is common to those three. That said, in the same process of renaming geographic features, Darkies Creek, Darkies Terrace Track and Darkies Terrace were also renamed, and they are located on the West Coast. I can't see it being sensible that the Canterbury and West Coast articles separately discuss the renaming of these geographic features. I therefore suggest that the New Zealand Geographic Board, which managed the renaming process, is the better home for the merged articles, as it can also mention the West Coast Darkies. With regards to WP:BEFORE, I did check whether the three articles under discussion have an entry in Alexander Wyclif Reed's Place Names of New Zealand (I have the 2010 revision on my bookshelf), but they aren't in there. This would have supported GNG. Darkies Creek and Darkies Terrace are listed, but they aren't up for discussion here. Schwede66 18:02, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The LINZ reference in each of the articles establishes notability and the articles meet WP:GEOLAND. The fact that the locations have been renamed because the original names were considered offensive means that the articles can now be more substantial than the stubs they would otherwise have been. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:49, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I disagree that these articles meet the GNG per TonyTheTiger and Schwede66. But even if it does meet the GNG, that does not guarantee inclusion as a stand-alone article, and I think the benefits of a merge outweigh the benefits of multiple stubs. The GNG creates a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should have a stand-alone article; from the GNG: "A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information". These both claim notability due to a single event (a renaming) by decision of a singular group, since the articles provide nothing more than geographic data and two separate discussions of the same renaming, it seems like they are best discussed together in an article that provides the context for the renaming rather than having multiple stubs on geographic locations ostensibly notable only for having their name changed. From WP:N: "Sometimes, several related topics, each of them similarly notable, can be collected into a single page, where the relationships between them can be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page...Sometimes, when a subject is notable, but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it, editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub." Whether that page they be merged to is New Zealand Geographic Board or Canterbury, New Zealand#Geography, I'm ambivalent, but lean more towards NZ Geographic Board per Schwede66.

Keep As stated above, geographical landmarks are significant unless there is no further information about them than statistics & geographical coordinates exist. So far, no one has made a reasonable effort to determine this. I don't expect someone to attempt to prove a negative, but there are standard references (these include: geological surveys, ecological surveys & standard references of history -- either national or local) that provide a base line one can make a judgment against.

In that case, the articles should be moved to draft space until they are improved by the addition of such material. Also, if you think merging would be the best solution, why not favor a merge over a straight keep? bd2412T 19:55, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Because I'd prefer to see someone in favor of this article's deletion/move do the needed work. So far it appears to me that much of the sentiment in favor of delete/move is motivation out of distaste for a hateful word, rather than actual notability.
As I thought about this AfC after posting my comment above, I realized that any repurposing of the content will require some careful thought. These three landmarks are evidence of the use of racist language, in particular a term I thought unique to us benighted Americans; so I find it interesting that it was in common use in New Zealand. And so far probably the only notable information in these articles. Moving the content to the article about the NZ Geo Board or about the Districts these landmarks are in would obscure that information, & lead a user of Wikipedia to erroneously conclude use said word was confined to the US. IMHO, needing to duplicate this information over two or more articles would indicate that an independent article is called for. Or maybe an article about these kind of landmarks in NZ. -- llywrch (talk) 22:33, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So far it appears to me that much of the sentiment in favor of delete/move is motivation out of distaste for a hateful word, rather than actual notability. That's a completely unfair characterization of the arguments. Firstly, your impression and argument show you didn't closely read the merge rationales. You said: there are standard references (these include: geological surveys, ecological surveys & standard references of history -- either national or local) that provide a base line one can make a judgment against. and just a few comments above Schwede66 (linking to WP:BEFORE) noted in their rationale that none of these places have an entry in the 2010 edition of Place Names of New Zealand. You say no one checked standard sources for whether there may be more information available but ignore a tertiary source on place names not even listing the names of these ones. If an academic book on the names of geographic features doesn't even consider them worth inclusion, arguments for suitability in an encyclopedia are suspect. Secondly, by your logic much of the sentiment in favor of keep is motivation out of an enjoyment of a hateful word. A characterization that, like yours of merge rationales, is completely unfounded especially considering not only my merge vote but numerous others have made arguments based on policy and guidelines. I quoted the GNG and N, TonyTheTiger quoted WP:GEOLAND, Schwede66 mentioned the lack of an inclusion in a tertiary source as undermining a GNG rationale. No one has said "delete because these are naughty words", the arguments are "being a naught word doesn't make something deserving of a separate article." WP:NOTCENSORED isn't a suicide pact, it doesn't mean we have to have an article for everything that's a naughty word just because it's a naughty word. More importantly, just because something passes the GNG does not mean it must be included, and having a number of articles on geographic locations only known for being renamed from a *snicker* naughty word *te-he* is not useful but merging them to a page with greater context would allow, to quote WP:N again, "the relationships between them [to] be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page"; a point you yourself recognize: These three landmarks are evidence of the use of racist language...IMHO, needing to duplicate this information over two or more articles would indicate that an independent article is called for. Or maybe an article about these kind of landmarks in NZ.. Wugapodes[thɔk][ˈkan.ˌʧɻɪbz] 23:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: these geographical features are not independently notable per Schwede66 and Wugapodes above; I do not see that they have enough other notable information to meet WP:GEOLAND despite its invocation above; their failure to appear in Place Names of New Zealand is telling. Much of the text in the three articles is repetitive among them, and readers would be better served by having it all in one place. The closer can best determine which of the New Zealand articles already suggested will be the best target. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:17, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Probably going to be kept because enough editors fall for sensationalism over recent events or may employ the "wait and see" tactic but when we access this incident on certainties, it is clear this falls under WP:NOTNEWS. Almost none of the criteria for events can be appropriately accessed because this article was created far too soon, leaving me with the assumption that it fails until further analysis -- the kind that demonstrates long-term impact -- can be found.

No indication of notability, no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Of the given references, #2, IMDb, is not a reliable source and should be removed. #3, Twitter, is even worse. #1 is used in a highly misleading way because the one Emmy that Drunk History won had nothing to do with Konner's work - in all categories for which it was nominated where Konner himself is mentioned, it did not win. It's also not a secondary source but the Emmy website reporting on the Emmy. #4 is not independent coverage but a press release from his alma mater. #5 and #9 are interviews, Konner talking about himself, not independent coverage. #7 is IMDb again. That leaves the article with two reliable third-party sources, #6 and #8. Neither of those has more than a single sentence of content on Konner, basically just name-drops.

Non-notable segment of a wrestling show. Was returned from a redirect with the comment, "as notable as Uno and Dos". Which I actually agree with. However, NONE of them are notable in and of themselves. Give me 5 minutes, and all 3 will be included in this AfD. While the show is notable, breaking these three out is completely unnecessary. All 3 fail WP:GNG, and all sourcing is more focused on the series, rather than these episodes. Onel5969TT me 02:21, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there are plenty of independent third party reliable sources covering these episodes, they may not be greatly refrenced but notability is not about sources presented but coverage that is out there. This is no different than an article on an episode of the Simpsons or another show where specific episodes are broken out. If it was not the Ultima Lucha season finale shows I would agree with deleting them. MPJ-DK 14:35, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well at least you are not accusing me of lying so that is a good thing. There is plenty of coverage by sources that are listed as reliable undet the pro wrestling project WP:PW so i disagree with your assessment of the available sources, without prejudice for said assessments of course. I agree with reliable sources not currently being well used in the articles though, but that is not a deletion argument. Not sure what you are trying to imply I said beyond that. I said there are some LU episodes I don't think are that notable and should not have stand alone articles - these aren't, so i don't get the "not inherited" comment at all?? MPJ-DK 18:30, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Side note - you provided a link to "prove it" in regards to notability. But that relates to Verifiabiliy. In other words "prove that the content is true", which is a different argument and not really supporting the "notability" issue that lead to this AFD. MPJ-DK 18:33, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Except none of the sources on the page meet WP:GNG. They are all passing mentions, or blogs, or from the league itself.

Delete: Looking at the sources available, I can't imagine how anyone can advocate keep beyond "ooo, citation links!" Half of the cites are from leagues for whom the subject played, and of course cannot count thereby to support notability. The Excelle Sports cite, even if it wasn't far too scanty and was a reliable source, is a quote from a press release, for pity's sake. The Collinsville Press cite comes from a small-town weekly serving two towns with a combined population of 28,000, and is of the sort that doesn't count towards notability either. The Yahoo sports cite is an admitted rehash of the theicegarden.com cite, which is routine sports coverage debarred by WP:ROUTINE. Perhaps the keep proponents can come up with actual cites from quality media sources, but I haven't found any. Ravenswing 20:15, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Despite not having many credentials, the SB Nation story on her leaving the league due to the cutback in pay got reprinted in more than one place on top of the normal routine coverage, is just barely what I call GNG-worthy sources. However, it should be noted, that the sources for a male would likely end in a delete without argument. If it wasn't for how she left the league, she would not be notable.

Delete - The only 2 sources in the article that are independent reliable sources are Excelle Sports and Yahoo Sports. But these two stories are both about one event, her retirement. I was not able to find other significant coverage.

"Its a well known fact that all SMR members share a hatred for FC Edmonton and the City of Edmonton."

"...we do not follow a particular ‘style’ beyond what our members bring...We operate on the donations of time and money of their members...We believe ‘members’ are the people who contribute their time"
