I suggest merging this article with the article on Continuing education as the subject is important, but makes no real sense on its own, separate from its context.

The subject of the article has no valid claims to notability. He has not been elected to any local, state, or national post. Fails NPOL. The article is somewhat promotional. The person has some coverage for a few controversial comments and his relation to his father but not enough to meet notability guidelines. While his father is notable, he is not.

  • Maybe this should be kept, but after seeing you argue on the basis of personal attacks rather than the availability of sources I'm very reluctant to do the work of looking for sources that might substantiate notability. It's a sure sign that someone is here to push a point of view rather than create a neutral encyclopedia article when that editor makes unfounded accusations that others are pushing a point of view.

  • No it is not, but Wikipedia:DISCUSSAFD says "do not repeat a bolded recommendation". Phil Bridger (talk) 17:54, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Firstly, Vinegarymass911 and Phil Bridger are correct that while you're allowed to comment as many times as you like in a deletion discussion, you're not allowed to "vote" more than once: you may not preface any of your followup comments with a bolded restatement of the "keep" you've already given, but must format them strictly as comments rather than new "votes".
    Secondly, AUTHOR is not passed just by showing a card catalogue that technically verifies the holding of his book in an archive or library — it is passed by showing reliable source coverage about his book, such as critical reviews or analysis in newspapers or magazines or academic literary or political science journals.
    Thirdly, if he's received significant press coverage, the article isn't showing that — the only press coverage it's showing at all is a couple of short blurbs, neither substantive enough in content nor voluminous enough in number to get him over GNG at all.
    Fourthly, nominating the article's photos for deletion is not proof that anybody has a political agenda — photos on Wikipedia still have to comply with all of our rules, including WP:COPYRIGHT, and you have no inalienable right to upload any photo here that is not correctly compliant with our rules for photos. And at any rate, two of the three photos are of buildings, while the third is just people eating at a banquet — there is literally nothing about any of the photos which suggests any reason why deletion discussions would be politically motivated at all.
    Speaking as a site administrator, let me be very clear: if I see you make one more accusation that anybody in this discussion is acting in bad faith, you're going to find yourself on the business end of a temporary edit block for being uncivil and disruptive — and this is your only warning, you're not getting a second one.

  • Aristocratic lineage and genealogy are inherited while anti-dynastic political activism is ideological. Inheritance of aristocratic notability is received and not earned while notability for anti-dynastic political activism is earned through hard, painful and often difficult political work. In case of this individual that also included long jail sentences and lawsuits for standing up against dynastic politics in Bangladesh. Coming back to inherited aristocratic notability, in the world of the "Self-made-man" who has shed his past to forge a future with his own merit and hard work, inherited notability of aristocracy is not only unacceptable but also illegitimate. Therefore giving credit in Wikipedia for inherited aristocratic notability in Bangladesh is contestable and debatable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.116.167.226 (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In terms of aristocratic notability, one should read WP:NOTINHERITED. Coming from an aristocratic background or a prestigious family does not guarantee notability. Secondly, the coverage regarding the subject is not sustained or particularly significant. In regards to the subject being notable as an academic and author, he clearly doesn't pass the standards of WP:SCHOLAR or WP:AUTHOR. I'd also encourage 103.116.167.226 to disclose any possible WP:COI as this point, it would appear highly likely that the article fits the profile of an WP:AUTOBIO and his defense of the article appears to be highly personal.

  • You seem to try to twist anything anyone says. আফতাবুজ্জামান has simply mentioned searching in Bengali as well as English in order to help you keep this article by finding sources, but found nothing. Bengali is the most likely language in which sources might exist, followed by English, so it's a good idea for those who are capable of doing so (as I am not) to search in both languages.

Biography which fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:ATHLETE or WP:NCRIC. None of the matches he played in were first-class, despite the claims of the article, so he fails the technical aspects of NCRIC and ATHLETE. The only information we appear to have on Bryant is taken from scorecards of matches he played in - CricketArchive has only a year and place of death beyond the two matches it places him in. The both year and place appear to be speculative at best and we simply lack any other biographical information from suitable sources, so there's no way we'll ever be able to create a biography which meets WP:GNG. Contested PROD with no reason given. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:06, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it has the same essential issue - nothing other than scorecard information is being used with no hope of being able to build a biography. Is the brother of John Bryant:

Hi SN 54129. If you follow the link from NCRIC to WP:CRIN, it explains in more details what "top-class matches" are, including info on first-class cricket. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, Lugnuts, it says almost precisely the same thing in almost precisely the same language:
WP:NCRIC: Have appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level
WP:CRIN: has appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial secondary source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level.
Thanks, ——SerialNumber54129 12:34, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there are issues with the technical way in which NCRIC is written - which I'm happy to elaborate on at any point. In almost every case it is interpreted at AfD to mean "first-class, list A or official T20". There are different opinions about what is regarded as top-class amongst people who have written about early cricket - and one author's opinion is not necessarily shared by others. Notwithstanding that, if there was sufficient biographical information to suggest that the article met the GNG I wouldn't have nominated it - for example, William Bedle or Thomas Waymark I would suggest are about at GNG standards. I don't believe that we will ever have enough to get either Bryant to that sort of level - we are almost totally reliant on information synthesised from scorecards for the content of the articles.

Light-speed silicon chip[edit]

The article appears to consist largely of original research and improper synthesis, if it isn't a hoax. The description of the IBM IC superficially follows that of the cited Popular Science article. However, the claim that the IBM IC is called the "light-speed silicon chip", and the claim that it will result in an EFLOPS-scale supercomputer by 2018, are invented. The following "How it works" section implies that it's elaborating on the IBM IC, but it's actually about something else. The cited Phys.org article doesn't support any of the claims made in that section, and is unrelated to that section's content.

Light-speed silicon chip had been merged into Optical interconnect. As a result of a recent discussion at Talk:Optical interconnect#This article's topic and mergers, the consensus was to restore Optical interconnect to a revision dated before light-speed silicon chip was merged into it. There isn't any content from Light-speed silicon chip to merge anywhere, and its technobabble title makes it an inappropriate redirect. 99Electrons (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See the sources listed by Bagumba further down in this discussion. Obviously, the article is in need of a thorough overhaul (some of which has already started since this discussion began), but that's an editing issue, not a deletion issue (i.e. Deletion is not cleanup).

A WP:SPA article on a company/product. Previously rejected twice at AfC but then recreated in mainspace without addressing the issues identified by The Drover's Wife and K.e.coffman in their AfC reviews. Inclusion in a Gartner field review does not carry inherent notability and nor do fundraising announcements. Since the upload to mainspace, Instana has been mentioned briefly in a "Top Nine Vendor Highlights From KubeCon" item but neither that nor anything else found in searches indicates that notability has been achieved, whether under WP:NCORP if considered as a company or under WP:GNG for its product.

The result was redirect to Viasat Film. To quote User:BabbaQ, Articles need sources. Yes they do. And these don't have them, as User:Ad Orientem points out. No sources, no WP:V, no article.

When you say "no merge because there's just too little there", have you taken the infobox into account? I'd argue it contains useful information. /Julle (talk) 00:00, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did; it contains cable positions easily merged into Viasat Film, but outside of that, the information is mainly duplicative since it's a suite of channels which all share the same history, outside of individual names. Nate (chatter) 06:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think there is some misunderstanding here. Article notability or use are not based on size. Every single of these articles should and can be expanded with individual information. All are clearly notable.BabbaQ (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As already described above, these are all multiplex channels. They usually carry a certain genre of film and nothing more than that, and can be described easily in a paragraph in Viasat Film, as we have done for the other premium multiplexes we list here.

The result was redirect to Alex Salmond. There is a general consensus against keeping this page with the view being that it is TOOSOON.

@Lucifero4: Because as I clearly indicated in my nomination, the article fails our general notability guideline, which you should be aware of if you edit at Wikipedia and create articles at Wikipedia.

Declined PROD. Original PROD reason was: I'm not finding much indication of notability. There's this brief piece in an industry magazine about him being headhunted to a new firm. This near-identical piece leads me to think it was based on a press release. Other than that, there's some name-drops and book credits, but nothing substantively about him as a person.

Decline reason from DGG's edit summary was: prob. notable. First check for sources; then, only if not found, nominate for deletion at AfD--or draftify.

The decline completely ignores the fact that my PROD nomination made clear that I did check for sources - and failed to find any substantial and independent ones. There's no reason to draftify this decade-old article; if there's been no evidence of notability within the last ten years, another six months isn't likely to help.

Side note: I see the industry awards, but unless they are themselves "well-known and significant" (per WP:ANYBIO), or someone wrote substantially about the subject receiving one, they aren't indicators of notability. ♠PMC(talk) 03:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I decline any prod where I think a community discussion is reasonably likely to find sources--that's about 1 a day, on the average, in additionto those I decline for other reasons. About half get deleted, half kept. Probably=probably, not that I necessarily support keeping.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talkcontribs)
Which is fine, but I do find it a little irritating to see an edit summary that tells me to look for sources when my nomination specifically states I did look and failed to find any. ♠PMC(talk) 07:36, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biography which fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:ATHLETE or WP:NCRIC.

This article, from its first incarnation through the three edits made in the last hour by Georgefowlerbrady, has been engineered to be an advertisement for a model by a marketing agency, MBLM (which uses the tagline "The Brand Intimacy Agency"), and its representative, Mario Natarelli. Nearly all the sources and external links lead to them: the whole article is WP:LINKSPAM and WP:REFSPAM. To the extent there is an objective concept one might call "brand intimacy" underneath all of this, I don't see a good way to weed it out from all the WP:UNDUE weight on this one company's pitch, and I tried to neutralize it at least a bit but to no avail as other editors, seemingly intent on making the article serve as a come-on for that company, keep building the article into a white paper for the company, so I'm suggesting WP:TNT. The only reason I'm not just throwing G11 speedy deletion at it is that it's been through several rounds of edits and it manages to avoid advertising MBLM and Natarelli directly, even though that's the clear effect.

Rlendog: That's really stretching it. "Marginally"? Why do we have to clutter up Wikipedia with non-notables, encouraging further such article creations? Quis separabit? 21:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Typically, even curent minor leaguers who fail NHOCKEY also don't have multiple articles substantially about them. In this case we have a subject whose career ended 40 years ago, so most of his potential coverage won't be readily accessible. But in this case there are 2 articles that I was able to find - which is significant coverage in multiple (at the lowest level of "multiple") reliable sources. Normally, for a current minor leaguer I would want something more than this, but I'll settle for marginally meeting GNG for someone before the internet age. I am not sure how this article is "cluttering up" Wikipedia. Anyone who is not interested in him can easily avoid the article. Rlendog (talk) 01:15, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lying dormant since 2007, this term - while ostensibly portraying a real phenomenon used in politics which I won't deny - only has one source and is worded like a sturdy coined phrase instead of a spurious neologism. If this "fallacy" has a name, it woukd have many and "Plain folks" isn't it. Anyway, it has one source and seems to fail WP:GNG right now. ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 05:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was too lazy to do so initially but here are examples: New York Times, CBS, TIME, for a about most of the decade, specifically in the 2012 election, Obama has been known to do it but I don’t think it was necessarily a plain folks technique in my opinion. Trillfendi (talk) 07:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Come off it, those are all just passing mentions of the phrase, or asserting that a certain person has that attribute. None of them pass muster as in-depth discussion of the concept as required by GNG. SpinningSpark 22:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability. There are three possibly-useful references beyond a bunch of interviews, other non-independent sources and passing mentions, HLN, Deadline and Hollywood Reporter. Deadline doesn't say much and not what it's cited for, and Hollywood Reporter uses a single sentence to pan Powell's performance in what appears to have been her most notable role. HLN is "local woman has big success"-style human-interest reporting. That's not enough. I started removing unreliably-sourced content and found that I could just go on removing. Having had roles is not enough; reliable third-party sources must actually discuss the actor for us to be able to write a meaningful article. Huon (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plays the main role on US-TV-series Siren (TV series). Being the main actress of a TV series that meanwhile spans two seasons, makes you noticeable.--Robberey1705 (talk) 00:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then surely you can find some reliable sources that actually discuss her in some detail, beyond telling us that her parents live in Flanders and she likes to visit them. Huon (talk) 01:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Articles"? I don't see those; there's one French piece which lists the famous actors she played next to, but other than that? Notability is not inherited. Huon (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's wrong. From the guideline you link to: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." (Emphasis mine.) Huon (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:N: "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." Bakazaka (talk) 16:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Huon da du ja deutsch al Muttersprache angibst, sag ich es dir mal auf deutsch: es macht den Anschein, dass du unbedingt willst, dass dieser Artikel gelöscht wird (und er stand schon mal zur Diskussion und wurde da auch nicht gelöscht wird). Das lässt sich schon deiner fadenscheinigen Argumentation entnehmen. Wie willst du einer schauspielerin, die in mehreren Werken die Hauptrolle spielte und in mehreren Sprachen Wiki-Artikel hat, die Relevanz absprechen? Keep the article.--Robberey1705 (talk) 13:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Robberey1705: WP:AGF. Although I disagree with Huon on this nomination, there are many understandable reasons for him to have his own opinion on this article. The main problem is that most of the recent press interest in EP has been people who want to talk about her role as a mermaid, not about her life and background. If all the people to whom she has explained her prosthetic tail, her study classical sources and watching video of ocean predators, etc. had instead asked about her childhood, travels, etc. then we would have lots of the source material that would make her bio better. Second, the article had much poor sourcing in it but is missing much useful stuff. With the second season about to begin, my Google news search turns up multiple articles (including the Boston Herald article now in there) that were published only within the past week. I am hoping that by WP:HEY, improving the article's sources and information will convince Huon that it belongs here now, even though he was reasonable to think it was very substandard as of a week ago. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on interviews I did some research in GAs about actors, specifically Hank Azaria and Halle Berry. They use interviews and other reports of the subject's own words for many facts about the subject's personal life. This fits with our policy WP:ABOUTSELF, where many categories of people's statements about themselves are acceptable RS if "the article is not based primarily on such sources." I also looked at what WP:N for guidance about whether interviews (published by RS independent of the subject) can be considered "significant coverage" required for GNG. Our policy WP:N does not exclude them. Instead, WP:N makes it clear that the reason notability relies on secondary sources (in this case, the publisher of the interview is the secondary source) is to demonstrate "verifiable evaluation of notability" and "objective evidence of notability."

I can't find any coverage of this protest tactic in reliable sources. As the article notes, the phrase "red bloc" has a number of meanings, including the Eastern Bloc and various electoral coalitions; an article based on significant coverage in reliable sources could perhaps be pieced together, but would fall foul of WP:COATRACK and WP:FRANKENSTEIN.

Non-notable individual who never won any awards and none of his musical efforts charted. All of his coverage in reliable sources is WP:INHERITED from Matt Dallas' marriage and adopted child with him and is covered on that article.

Hardly. "People actually exist in the real world who follow his music" is not a rationale for establishing notability. There are scores of artists who have loyal followings but will otherwise remain in obscurity. As indicated by nominator, he has no charting records (all of one EP in six years, plus any schlep can put an album on Amazon nowadays), nor any work with a reputable label, and his only notability comes on the backs of others like Dallas or Fernando Garibay. If Hamilton is "frequently mentioned in his own right," prove it with links to said sources; this goes for anyone who insists on dangling the carrot of sources magically existing when a subject is listed for AfD. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 22:22, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I will assume you are capable of performing a general internet search for “Blue Hamilton.” The sources I spoke of were found thusly. And stop hinting at or assuming WP:NOTINHERITED; it is irrelevant here. Antinoos69 (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've done that before and come up with zilch, otherwise it'd have been added to the article long ago. I've discerned anyway why you're vehemently contesting the nomination despite the subject's clear lack of notability, and it's no better a reason for keeping the article. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 20:48, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The sources listed in the article - the first 2 are links to where to buy Blue Hamilton's music, the third is a link to Blue Hamilton's and Matt Dallas' youtube channel, and everything else is short announcements about Matt Dallas and his fiance Blue Hamilton (they got engaged), Matt Dallas and his husband Blue Hamilton (they got married), Matt Dallas and his husband and their son (they adopted). Nothing about Blue Hamilton's life or music. No reliable sources.
  2. I searched Google, Google newspapers, Google books, Google Scholar, also NYT and I did a search "Rolling Stone AND "Blue Hamilton", Billboard AND "Blue Hamilton". Nothing. I find no information about his life or his music. As far as I can find, he and his music have not won any awards. Aurornisxui (talk) 01:08, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
