Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:NCORP. The few references to reliable sources discuss the acquisition of the company, which is specifically classified by WP:CORPDEPTH as "trivial coverage".

Possibly, but I don't see references saying anything more than that certain individuals from the 16th century may have been part of a noble family, which is a trivial mention of the topic. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:30, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[outdent] My Russian is minimal and it has taken me this long to look more closely at the Russian page but I've now done so, and stand by what I wrote above: the sources given are more than enough to establish the noble family of the name, and I'll import them. However, the translation is not brilliant, and has missed the line in the Russian article which adds that there are [two] other families of Lyapunov, without clarifying which family the more recent L's belong to.

• Keep I'm not sure if WP:PROF #6 applies; someone with more knowledge of the Pakistani university system should know if principal is ever the highest position - principal could've been the highest post at that point, but it currently is not. However, here's more sources: 1 2 3 (smaller mention/her opening remarks at a forum she ran) 4 5 6. I'm too tired to check how well they apply to GNG with the other sources, but they (and one of the other sources found by Thsmi002) might make a case for WP:PROF #1. She seems to be highly respected in the Urdu language field, which is her country's national language.

The WISE's site provides references to The Namibian, Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Republikein etc. It is not important what WISE says, it is important that a number of Namibian newspapers have wrote about that mine. If these newspapers have published these articles about this mine, that is enough for WP:GNG. The fact that WISE is biased or how they select their sources does not disqualify these newspapers per se. Beagel (talk) 18:41, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This guy certainly has got loads of money and that's undoubted given that he has got some trivial mentions as a (5 crore INR) bidder of a suite worn by Narendra Modi.

Has got some trivial mentions in his role as to the Patidar agitation by Hardik Patel.

Some coverage in unreliable sites like <www.gujaratheadline.com>, <patelsamaj.co.in>, <National Herald> are located.

Overall, there is a complete dearth of any significant coverage on him that would make him pass WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG.

This stub has been totally unsourced since its inception in 2011. I performed a WP:BEFORE search looking for books written in the 20th century, as any significant 1960s project should be covered in that scope of publications.[13] I found nothing about this project, only a few mentions of a generic "space launcher system" that could be developed in Europe or Russia in the future. Consequently, given the high probability of confusion with the current Space Launch System, this article should be removed. Apparently there is some real history of discussions about the Titan I potential upgrades, but there is no indication that an actual project plan called "Space Launcher System" ever existed, and if it did it would not meet WP:GNG until ample coverage in WP:RS can be exhibited. — JFG ^talk 12:58, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. We can confirm its existence – it gets a passing mention in Historical Guide to NASA and the Space Program, but only to say that it is a USAF project from the 1960s and nothing to do with the NASA program. SpinningSpark 09:25, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The creator of the article is too pissed with you all to come here himself, but tells me that the source was Heppenheimer. He cannot remember the name of the book, but it may have been The Space Shuttle Decision: Nasa's Search for a Reusable Space Vehicle. On the basis of that, I think we should AGF that this actually is reliably sourced, even if the source is currently uncertain. I have put in a request for verification of this source at WP:LIB. SpinningSpark 13:37, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Update: The Space Shuttle Decision is available at the Internet Archive. It does not contain the search term, but does describe a USAF launcher with boosters which may be the same thing. Heppenheimer's Countdown : A History of Space Flight, which I have on loan, also does not contain the term. SpinningSpark 15:16, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: Many thanks for the background information. I don't think Wikipedia should keep an article based on a made-up term, especially as it can easily be confused with the Space Launch System. Certainly this project could be mentioned in articles about Titan I, Titan III, USAF, or the Space Shuttle. There's not enough material to salvage for a dedicated article. — JFG ^talk 10:03, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@JFG: It's not a made-up term. The NASA source I linked in my first comment uses this exact name (capitalised as a proper noun and identified as a USAF 1960s project). SpinningSpark 10:11, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was only referring to the Heppenheimer books, which apparently discuss the USAF project without naming it that. The "Historical Guide" source only mentions "Space Launcher System" in a short note in its "Space Launch System" entry, to warn readers against confusion. We can't hang our article title on this only. Irrespective of the name, we are far from demonstrating WP:GNG yet. I have downloaded the 1999 book from Internet Archive and looked for passages discussing boosters: they mostly debate the pros and cons of reusability and refer to possible evolutions of Titan III. What is the exact passage you referred to when saying the book describes "a USAF launcher with boosters which may be the same thing"? I'd like to see which concept we are talking about. Note on page 353 the authors state: This diversity of boosters meant that there now was no clear reason to choose any of them. The wide range of alternatives recalled the era of the late 1960s, when a hundred flowers had bloomed and when neither NASA nor the Air Force had yet developed a convincing idea of how a shuttle should look. If this USAF concept was indeed one of those "hundred flowers", why should it be elevated above others? Engineers from various contractors discussed plenty of variants, but it does not look like this one got any substantial-enough traction to become encyclopedic. — JFG ^talk 10:51, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now you've challenged me, I'm not quite sure what I was looking at when I said that. It was probably the drawing on page 87. But on a closer look, that is the Titan IIIM for which we already have an article. EDIT: There is also a discussion of USAF design research on the preceding pages, but it is far from clear whether any of it has to do the subject here. I'm ok with a merge and redirect or dab page to a suitable article. SpinningSpark 11:38, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the article creator could shed some light on the naming? @Maury Markowitz: You wrote: It was from one of Heppenheimer's books, perhaps The Space Shuttle Decision. But it was over 7 years ago, I really can't say. Looking at those books, we have not seen the term "Space Launcher System", but we have seen discussion of various engineering options by the USAF, NASA and industry contractors. Do you have first-hand knowledge besides what you remember reading in such books? The contents of the article as it stands could be folded into Titan I, Titan IIIC, Titan IIIM, Space Shuttle and X-20 Dyna Soar. However the assertions made must be sourced, and the article title must go if we can't find well-sourced corroboration. Any help appreciated. — JFG ^talk 13:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I think it is Space Launching System. While I have found a couple of usage as Launcher, I think Launching is the correct word. Of course the overused same TLA of SLS for similar systems makes it difficult to find the right sources. The article Aerojet M-1 mentions Launcher which is probably this article, but no inline sources so it is hard to know which source to use. This article should be Moved/Renamed if sources agree.

• Keep. This firm is a big deal and widely reported on. Certainly the most interesting stories in RS focus on the founder, but the firm itself is independently notable with plenty of in-depth coverage of its activities above and beyond what would be considered "routine coverage". See for example its history with Cigna[1][2][3], DowDupont[4][5] and Tenet[6][7][8]. Needs improvement, but definitely not a delete. Pegnawl (talk) 16:26, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Redirect to Larry Robbins. I understand where DGG is coming from but nothing in the guidelines assigns a monetary value to notability. Instead, the notability criteria for companies and organizations requires two references that provide significant in-depth intellectually-independent coverage on the company. The WP:NCORP guidelines further clarifies that articles that are substantially based on company announcements or run-of-the-mill listings fail the criteria. Also, notability isn't inherited - therefore the articles profiling the CEO or commenting on their involvement with various business transactions, no matter how contentious, likewise fails the criteria. From my reading, not a single one of the references provided here or in the article, nor any references I could locate myself, meet the criteria. Also, from WP:ORGIND

  Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

  The references provided above by Pegnawl fail the criteria when measured against these requirements. Topic therefore fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:40, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The argument for merge would have to apply to George Soros and Soros Fund Management too, so I disagree. For WP:NCORP the first bullet under examples of substantial coverage is a news article discussing a prolonged controversy regarding a corporate merger.

• Comment But Glenview wasn't the subject of a prolonged corporate merger (the point being made in NCORP) so that isn't relevant to this AfD? HighKing⁺⁺ 11:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Nom's comment: comparing the founder to George Soros is very close to WP:EINSTEIN and WP:OSE; none are valid arguments in a deletion discussion. In any case, no sources to meet WP:NCORP and WP:ORGIND have been offered in this debate, and I don't believe that they exist. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Posted above are six refs for your consideration, and a few more added directly to entry. To HighKing's comment about these refs being based on company announcements, therefore trivial, ignores the nine examples of trivial coverage that NCORP lists under this bullet - none of which apply to these refs. It also fails to acknowledge the very first bullet under examples of substantial coverage, and yes, one would think that being the catalyst of or a major player in contentious multinational merger discussions applies when the firm name appears throughout an article. Each are in an independent source (and not churnalism far as I can tell), so I'm not sure why ORGIND is relevant, and only half of them include mention of Robbins (in all cases the primary focus is the firm). Pegnawl (talk) 00:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. Using arguments such as "other stuff exists", e.g. about the article on George Soros (even if correct about that) leads nowhere. Subject simply fails WP:NCORP.

• Keep. Satisfies GNG. There are a lot of sources in GNews saying things like "internationally renowned" [22] etc, and being internationally renowned is certainly notable. James500 (talk) 04:29, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  That source is about her husband, and gives her a trivial mention. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Anachronist, it sure is brief but does say Ms. Galway is "internationally renowned" so may count towards something. The article was on a concert given together but since James is the local dude, it concentrated on him. Since then, Lonehexagon worked hard on referencing the article. All these sources were out there and relevant also before his hard work per WP:NEXIST. How about commenting on what is important to passing the WP:GNG or not? Every comment to the core counts. Or maybe withdraw this nomination altogether? gidonb (talk) 18:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A specific statement of no prejudice against recreation would be reasonable, although cause/effect incidents are always tenuous as to providing separate articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:58, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Neutral - I have to agree that, while high, the death toll is not sufficiently unique - even in the USA (only biggest since 2009) - to make it warrant its own article.

Nosebagbear (talk) 20:57, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A demonstration of precedents that indicate that largest incident in a decade is sufficiently unique (if that phrase makes sense) to justify it.

• Keep - 20 people died, that's not common for a car crash. Deadliest transport accident in the USA in almost 10 years. 1779Days (talk) 00:27, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep the arguments that the nature of the accident (two-car collision) make the article inherently non-notable are absurd, and quite frankly, border on disrespectful. Would their death be deemed more notable if they had died in a plane, or in a boat? There are DOZENS of other crashes with similar or less amounts of media coverage which have found no objection here - 2018 Hong Kong bus accident, 1999 Deutschlandsberg bus crash, 2017 Verona bus crash, Måbødalen bus accident, Grafton bus crash, 2009 Taconic State Parkway crash, Kalamazoo bicycle crash, I could go on. If this article is deleted, it sets a precedent that all or many the articles preceding - which received similar amounts of media coverage, and which each had distinct lasting impacts on how the respective industries involved are regulated - should all be deleted. To be clear, none of these articles should be deleted simply because they involved automobiles. If they have significant media coverage (this article does), and can be found to have a lasting impact on the social consciousness of the region it occurred in, or on the industries involved (limo industry), then it should clearly be notable just as an airline accident would be. We can't know if the latter qualifier is true, because mere hours have passed since the incident! However, the NTSB is investigating and all indicators seem to tell us that there is a high probability some meaningful change will be enacted following this tragic incident. For all these reasons, strong keep. Flip^andFlopped ツ 00:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete - I disagree with the above user, the NTSB has said that with MANY incidents in the past, yet little to nothing ever happens. As AusLondoner states, accidents like these happen frequently and are far more common than anyone thinks, the “keeps” are not convincing and are just repeating the the same rationale each time. Python Dan (talk) 00:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So we should delete the article based on your subjective opinion that NTSB investigations and recommendations are ineffective? The other part of your statement is just patently false - this is the most lethal transportation accident to have occurred in the USA for nearly ten years, and the extensive media coverage reflects that. By mere virtue of that, this accident is not reflective of a 'common occurrence'! In fact, accidents this devastating, which have received this amount of coverage, have almost always received an article in the past because they ARE particularly notable, as I did mention. Flip^andFlopped ツ 01:12, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accidents like these get widespread coverage initially, but fall out of the public eye several days later, and become forgotten soon afterwards as well. If you take a look at several articles of disasters in similar and lesser scales, there is considerable activity once these disasters occur, but eventually cease regular contributions once no further information pops up. SamaranEmerald (talk) 01:26, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, this is the most deadly vehicle accident of any kind in the US for the past 9 years, receiving national and international news coverage (currently the most read BBC News article). Articles about vehicle accidents with this many deaths are common on Wikipedia --LtNOWIS (talk)
• Keep per LaserLegs and Flipandflopped. Lepricavark (talk) 01:55, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, also per LaserLegs and Flipandflopped. The fact that this is the deadliest vehicle accident in the United States in nine years is also significant; it's unusual for a road accident to hold such a distinction. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Two-digit death tolls from road accidents in the U.S. are notable because they're so rare. This has dominated the national news all day—no small feat given yesterday's events.

  Fewer (not less) people died in the Table Rock Lake duck boat accident barely two months ago; no one even nominated that for deletion. What makes this one different because it didn't happen in water? Nothing. Daniel Case (talk) 03:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: By death toll alone this would merit inclusion on List of disasters in the United States by death toll as the cutoff for inclusion there is 15. There are 26 entries with fewer deaths than this. Two of them—World Wide Tours bus crash and Sherman, Texas bus accident—were also MVAs. They both happened more than 5 years ago; no one has suggested either article be deleted.

I would also add, as my wife and I realized just now, discussing this as she came back from work, that this accident, unlike most other entries on "deadly U.S. road accidents" is unusual for involving neither a bus nor a grade crossing; I think it may wind up being the deadliest stretch-limo accident ever (but I'll wait for a reliable source to say that). Daniel Case (talk) 03:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - By sources as far away as the South China Morning Post and the Times of Israel, this is reported as the "worst US transport accident in a decade."[26][27] The nom's "comment" above indicates this is more of a troll AfD rather than a serious concern of the improvement of this project. --Oakshade (talk) 03:44, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - there should be a SNOW/Speedy criteria for news stories like this. (I wouldn't recommend a speedy keep for "no reason for deletion", but How is this notable? isn't really a rationale) It seems very likely there will be continuing coverage of this over the next week; there's nothing reasonable to do at this point other than to keep the article. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:53, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Question to anyone in favour of keep - why is the fact this accident happened in the U.S. make it uniquely notable? India regularly has crashes which kill dozens and dozens of people. Keeping this article opens the floodgates to a massive number of articles about tragic incidents with little lasting significance. AusLondonder (talk) 05:23, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Widespread international news coverage. Wjfox2005 (talk) 06:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. List_of_traffic_collisions_(2000–present) seems to imply it's the deadliest single-car crash worldwide in at least the last 5 years and possibly much longer (although this could of course be thanks to the success of deletionists in keeping us all in the dark), and a lot deadlier than many other items on that list (including many non-US items). It is also the deadliest single-car accident that I can ever remember hearing about in my 64 years on this planet (altho this could of course be down to my faulty memory and/or to faulty news sources). So it is unsurprizing that it has received worldwide news coverage. Incidentally, it is seemingly also the worst transport accident of any kind in the US for about the last 10 years. As for all the WP:Lasting objections, they seem to be little more than WP:Crystal-violating claims that they can know that this will have no lasting impact - seemingly the delusional claim that they can know that it will not result in any significant regulatory change. (Incidentally, the original nomination's wording seems grotesquely inadequate, but has ensured that an editor with just 30 edits has single-handedly got a seemingly basically very reasonable (tho poorly worded and poorly defended) and good-faith ITN-nomination closed, a matter that may perhaps require lasting change to Wikipedia procedures ).Tlhslobus (talk) 07:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The accident has both a significant death toll of 20 victims and is the second most serious traffic accident in New York State. It also received major international media coverage, eg. report from Global Times, a major Chinese state-runned newspaper.

Avetik Chalabyan is one of the most notable, non-political public figures in the Armenian society. His articles and interview appear regularly in most respected media and gain wide acceptance, his work for increasing servicemen security in the army has received the highest public attention recently. This comes on top of his prolific professional career - as a senior partner of McKinsey, he leads the global Metallurgical practice of the leading management consulting firm of the world, regularly publishes on cutting-edge business development topics, speaks on most prestigious global conferences.

The person commenting above appears to be affiliated with the foundation coestablished by the subject of the article, and her only contribution has been to the Avetik Chalabyan page. This and above comment show that the Wikipedia page is maintained by persons affiliated to the subject and is meant as a PR tool for a minor business consultant. As for the interviews and the columns published by the subject himself, they are not independent of the subject.

Avetik Chalabyan is not a businessman, he is a public figure. The sheer number of interviews he gives to various media, the interest to his figure is a good indicator alone that he is anything but minor. This footage shows Avetik Chalabyan leading an Artificial Intelligence technology panel at St Petersburg International Economic forum https://www.forumspb.com/programme/56957/#broadcast This footage is taken from Armenia-Diaspora forum, where Avetik Chalabyan was a keynote speaker at Nation-Army panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVTSqir8q44&feature=share These articles are about Arar foundation and Avetik Chalabyan, fully independent of the subject https://mediamax.am/am/news/special-report/24862 https://mediamax.am/am/news/special-report/26640/ https://mediamax.am/am/news/special-report/24216

As for myself, I have left Repat Armenia Foundation, where Avetik Chalabyan was one of the trustees, three years ago, and have not had any business affiliation with him since then.

Support continuing discussion at least temporarily. I suggested to a (previously unknown to me) editor who requested my help as a general experienced WP editor:

...the best way is to find references to Chalabyan in other "reliable sources", such as books, news articles, journals, etc., possibly in relation to the Arar Foundation or other things he is involved in. These could be in non-English languages. I did find this article on Horizon Armenian weekly's Canadian website.

The Arar Foundation Arar Foundation's website (English version) lists Chalabyan as "Chairman of the Board of Trustees" and mentions "Previously, he has served as Head of the WTO Affairs Department at the Ministry of Economic Development of Armenia."

Avetik Chalabyan is a public figure, our compatriot who lives outside of Armenia, but is doing his best in contributing to his homeland's development. For years he has been a co-founder and active supporter of a number of important private initiatives that are focused on Armenia's socio-economic development, education and repatriation. He has been permanently giving interviews to online media and TV channels on a wide spectrum of Armenia's development agenda, strategic issues and opportunities. He has also been an active participant and official speaker of almost all! (17) "Imagine Armenia" forums (here is the link to the forum in Boston in 2017, where Avetik was one of the plenary session speakers and moderator) that were organized by RepatArmenia during the last five years in key Armenian diasporan communities to promote and introduce Diaspora's engagement opportunities for a wider audience. Over 90 speakers took part in them, over 4.000 Diasporan Armenians attended those events and over 150.000 people were following the events online.

• Delete. Facts707, you're not the only one whose help the article creator has requested; she has canvassed a whole bunch of experienced editors and pleaded for "your vote as an experienced editor on Wiki" to "make sure it's not deleted". See her recent contributions. Alice Ananian, I'm sure you meant no harm, but we're not supposed to do that, as it can skew a deletion discussion. Please see WP:CANVASS. The plethora of references looks impressive at first sight. But a few references that were actually reliable, independent of the subject, not user-generated (like for instance Armeniapedia, a wiki) and not press releases would have been much better. This just looks like somebody has listed all the Google hits they could find, with no regard to our sourcing policy. I agree with the OP that the article is more like a promotional LinkedIn page than a biography in an encyclopedia. Bishonen | talk 21:26, 8 October 2018 (UTC).[reply]
• Keep Although "a major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject", the article seems to be interesting to read and sufficiently neutral to be useful after some improvements. I propose to keep and improve it instead of deleting it and then start from scratch. The subject is certainly notable enougn, to have an article. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 03:02, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I too have been canvassed by Alice Ananian - don't know why. I can't tell if this article warrants deletion or not, but if it stays it needs to be severely trimmed back. It is a massive puff piece as it stands, with a lot of citing of sources that do not look reliable and/or independent. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 08:21, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Looks like typical self-promotion to me. --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:38, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again fellow Wikipedians,

Thank you all for the feedback on the article so far. At this point, I'd like to ask what changes would help to improve the article? Editing for neutrality and reliable sources has been duly noted. Any other contributions would be much appreciated. (No harm was intended in canvassing WP editors.) Regards, Alice Ananian (talk) 09:33, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as unambiguous violation of policy (see WP:NOTPROMO), aggravated by apparent COI and clear disregard for volunteer editor time and attention (see WP:PAYTALK). Bakazaka (talk) 23:31, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Adrian Ward (artist): An article on an arts project which appears to have been active in the first few years of this century. I don't see enough coverage distinctive from that of Ward to merit an separate article. AllyD (talk) 13:30, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Adrian Ward (artist) - couldn't locate sufficient coverage, sources seemed to fail reliable/independent or WP:ROUTINE. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:01, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
