[edit] Tonka Rescue Patrol
Orphaned stub, apparently about a game. Its one and only sentence is spam. Lack of context/content almost makes it a contender for a speedy deletion, but just in case it's a horribly notable game I thought I'd bring it here to be rescued. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Neutral Has 666 Ghits, mostly resales of used games but not even reviewed by IGN, a useful source for video games. Released 2003. Have put a notice on Project:Video Games to see if anyone's keen on rescuing this but as it stands it fails notability. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 00:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I can certainly see how this one ended up at AFD, probably one of the least notable GameCube games in existence... however! Gamefreaks365 review, GameSpy E3 Preview, the composer produced work for several other games and according to his own page the game's music received an award (whether it's a desperately notable award is to be seen). GameSpot lists the game as having been reviewed by Nintendo Power here, there may be some other magazine reviews somewhere. There's pretty much nothing else on the web.Someone another 01:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Someone another. Notable, especially the Nintendo Power coverage sounds promising for notability. We shouldn't delete articles because we happen to cannot get a certain magazine. User:Krator (t c) 11:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- comment - awesome. Does anyone want to add those sources, or the content, to the article itself? Cos, right now, it's a 1-sentence stub that doesn't even assert notability. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 16:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete Only reviewed by one major outlet (I don't think gamefreaks365 cna be considered "significant secondary coverage" per WP:N) means that it's not that worthy of noitce, per WP:N. hbdragon88 22:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Notability has been far from proved in the one line stub. That the game existed is shown by the two reviews, but if people are scrabbling around to find a possible third or fourth review that in itself is damning proof that this game lacks any kind of significant existence, let alone notability. 666 ghits is pathetic - my user name is unique to me, and I get 44,600 ghits - but I'm not notable. Delete, piss on it, and let's get on with building an encyclopedia about stuff that rocks! SilkTork *SilkyTalk 23:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tome of Time
An article on a book from a cartoon series, featuring either WP:OR or a lack of external third-party sources. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:FICT. No evidence of notability via secondary sources, 30 ghits for "'Tome of Time' 'swat kats' -wikipedia". Doctorfluffy 04:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Niko Papasideris
Originally marked with a speedy deletion tag; I moved it here to allow some discussion as there may be a marginal claim to notability. However, it currently reads like an advertisement. If someone can provide some reliable, third-party sources, then clean it up and keep it. If not, then this one needs to go. Tijuana Brass 23:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Balthorium
This article is about a very minor plot element in a famous movie. There are no references, probably because none exist. A lot of speculative OR, fails WP:NEO and common sense. Gentlemen, you can't write this here, this is the Wikipedia! <eleland/talkedits> 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, fails WP:FICT. Secondary sources do not appear to exist to establish notability. Google turns up only fansites and related. Doctorfluffy 05:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per the above. WP:FICT, WP:OR (WP:SYNTH) & no WP:RS. --Evb-wiki 19:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Castle irwell student village
Merge/redirect to University of Salford or University of Salford campus. Neutralitytalk 23:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to University of Salford. -- RHaworth 06:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gavadon
Non-notable, in-universe use only D-Fluff has had E-Nuff 21:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep- Mark it as a stub and start a rewrite. The character is clearly notable to the series. Hagan jared 02:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Notable in the series does not indicate it passes WP:N or WP:FICT. Do secondary sources discuss this topic? Doctorfluffy 20:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natalie 23:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - I believe the article, while definitely in need of cleanup and perhaps images as well, was nominated in bad faith as per Doctorfluffy's User page. Simply deleting things for the sake of deleting things does nothing to improve Wikipedia. -- Veled 05:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment My user page is talking about WP:N, which is one of the most important concepts here, and the disrespect it constantly receives from uninformed editors. I suggest you read it. Also, check out WP:FICT, the specific notability policy for fictional subjects, which explains how articles on such topics need references from reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject. Doctorfluffy 05:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: how does this possibly fulfill the requirement of coverage by multiple secondary sources? Nyttend 05:07, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete fails to assert notability. Fails WP:FICT. Fails WP:PLOT. Bobby1011 05:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as per Meta:Wiki is not paper. Specifically, "There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia. Each of the 100+ poker games can have its own page with rules, history, and strategy. Jimbo Wales has agreed: Hard disks are cheap." Secondarily, agree with assertion that this was nominated in bad faith. -- Masterzora 20:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Referring to an essay on Meta which has been basically unchanged in the 5 years it has existed does not somehow override the core policies of Wikipedia, including verifiablity, reliable sourcing, and notablity. In fact, the modern version of your argument is WP:PAPER, which specifically states: This policy is not a free pass for inclusion: Articles still must abide by the appropriate content policies and guidelines, in particular those covered in the five pillars. Please try to be familiar with current policies when participating in AfDs. Doctorfluffy 21:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Omnibus (song)
I don't know if this trance song has ssufficient notability, but no outright proof is given in the article. I'm unsure in any case if any reliable sources would have written about the song. The artist who performs the song is redlinked. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete - Article as it stands is OR, website linked as ref is commercial - and if you believe that those who bought this (a trance record) also bought Sonny & Cher & The Association! Also, does not appear to have hit anything but personal charts, and that at number 415=. Extremely underground, possibly a good track, but no way notable. I've been around trance for about 15 years and have never heard of it. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 01:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as seeming to fail WP:N.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jonathan Pater
Completely unsourced WP:BLP stub. ^demon[omg plz] 23:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC) 23:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep You're kidding right? Hansonc 23:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I think I prodded this a while back, cause it was on my watchlist. Anyway, no mention of notability, no sourcing. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 23:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Comment You mean other than being a founding member of the most popular tech news site on the planet right? Does this mean I should AfD Jimbo Wales because all he's done is create an online encyclopedia? Hansonc 23:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Reply Yes, if Jimbo had not been in multiple press interviews and had hundreds of reliable sources. There is no verifiability here, so there is no content here, so there is no article. What has Pater done lately anyway? -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 05:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah but if you are going to ignore Cowboyneal's reason for notability (Slashdot) you have to ignore Jimbo's too (Wikipedia) and the only reason he was interview was for Wikipedia so those sources are useless too. Seriously he's famous for what he's famous for why does he need to be famous for something else to pass your notability test? Hansonc 16:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Frankly, I don't give a damn about notability, I care about sourcing. Jimbo has been in press. Pater has not. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 00:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

delete Hansonc, the reason it should be deleted isn't nec. because he's not notable; it's that there is no reason in the article that is sourced that says that he is, and that the entire article is clearly just promoting slashdot, which is not acceptable. Barsportsunlimited 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- comment Isn't the reason any individual has a wikipedia article about them for the promotion of what they do? I'm going back to Jimbo here. Would he have a wikipedia page if he hadn't founded the site ? The answer is no. What's his job? Promoting Wikipedia. What's his Wikipedia page do? Promote Wikipedia and Wikia. So basically to get back to my point, of course Cowboyneal's wikipedia page discusses what he does and what he's known for, Slashdot, as it should. Hansonc 03:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment No, it isn't "the reason" people have articles. Articles must assert notability, be verifiable, and have enough content to deserve a separate article. This article fails ALL THREE. Mention he's a co-founder in Slashdot and delete this unverified substub. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 05:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Comment So what you're saying is being known for what he's known for isn't good enough. What would make him notable other than being an editor of slashdot. Back to Jimbo. He's only notable for founding wikipedia, should his article be deleted as well since he's not notable for anything other than what he's notable for? He is an extremely early (he was there within about a year of the original purchase of the domain name) editor of slashdot (employee #6 according to my count from the slashdot history here) and he has always been the "humorous" poll choice. Personally I feel it was a bad idea for Jonathan Pater to be the article when he's actually known as Cowboyneal but that's a whole different argument. By the way, I do agree this needs to be cleanedup and expanded but it certainly shouldn't be deleted. Hansonc 15:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It does need a rewrite to show a source for notability, but it's a definite keep. Geoffrey.landis 02:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- comment here's the last time someone tried to delete the article in question Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/CowboyNeal as you can see it's a nearly unanimous keep. It's still here for a reason. Hansonc 04:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Please remember that consensus can change, it's been well over a year since then. ^demon[omg plz] 11:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. For all the reasons listed by Hansonc --Vrmlguy 04:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete No assertion of notability and the article is mainly concerned with his name's origin anyway. Bobby1011 06:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- 'Delete He is a pretty 'known' person, but I can't find any sources (at all). A google test throws up lots of results, but no reliable sources (that I found). Without those it will never satisfy WP:BLP. Martijn Hoekstra 15:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per Martijn Hoekstra. It doesn't appear that sources actually exist to establish notability per WP:BIO. Doctorfluffy 16:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chris Wooden
Asserts notability, but I can find no verifiable sources for claims of being pundit, being disliked by China, or being censured by Congress. Cannot find evidence of meeting WP:BIO.
- Google search for Chris Wooden yeilded 56 UNIQUE hits. There are other "Chris Woodens" on the web.
- Google search for "Christopher Wooden" yileded 52 UNIQUE hits. There are other "Christopher Wooden"s on the web.
- Google News gave me 9 hits about other "Christopher Wooden"s.
- Google News for "Chris Wood" yeilded about 50 hits. There is a more notable football player by the same name. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC
- Delete per nom and as possible hoax. The absence of media coverage is particularly suspicious for somebody who supposedly "made American History". EALacey 23:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I can't find verification of anything in this article. --Metropolitan90 02:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cypher (band)
Fails to meet Wikipedia:Notability (music), possible self-promotion. The band formed in 2002 and only has one full release. If this band is entitled to a Wikipedia entry there are over 5,000 other metal bands that would need an article as well. (not an exaggeration, see metal-archives.com) -RiverHockey 22:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- delete - at present there are no independent sources and the article doesn't seem to have any proof of notability. Also, per RiverHockey's last comment. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- keep but needs more info and sources. This band did international tours, have been reviewed by dozens of Dutch, German and UK magazines.[1] I will work on it. Kameejl (Talk) 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Awesome, please do. I don't like deleting articles on European bands, but I prefer that such articles have better content and sourcing so that it's easier to tell the obvious spam apart from proper band articles. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - fails to show notability. This link quoted above appears to give no evidence of touring, and the album reviews appear to be by non-notable sources - music blogs mostly. The article as it stands now doesn't show good enough reason for being on Wiki, and that is the article we are discussing. But there is nothing stopping anyone from writing the article up again after it has been deleted, if someone discovers better sources. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 00:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christopher english
Non-notable individual. Article doesn't establish notability. Dr. Cash 22:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Seems like a speedy delete candidate. -RiverHockey 23:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per criterion A7 (biography with no indication of notability). Probably a well intentioned creation by a new user unfamiliar with our notability guidelines. I see the article itself already been tagged for speedy deletion. EALacey 23:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spartak Tennis Club
non-notable tennis-club. fails WP:CORP and no sources are cited. notability is not inherited from the people who trained or taken a crap in the bathrooms. Law/Disorder 22:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, if it trained all those famous players, it might have something written about it; but there's nothing given, so it fails the notability test. Nyttend 05:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. I hadn't heard of it, and I thought it was a joke - this run down tennis court that is unused for half the year producing all those tennis stars. But a quick search showed that the place is well known and highly revered in the tennis community. I put in just three sources, but there are plenty more. And the Not Inherited doesn't apply to places which are sourced as being notable such as CBGB or Spartak Tennis Club, it applies to arguments used in AfD debates in which someone says "notability is not inherited from the people who trained or taken a crap in the bathrooms." And now that the article is sourced, it passes WP:CORP. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 00:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dwight Davis Memorial Tennis Center
non-notable tennis-center. fails WP:CORP and cites no sources. Please note: notability is not inherited. Law/Disorder 22:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- keep - I could find some mentions in the press for this location. I would think that a sports facility would have sufficient notability for some small page, no? I'll try and add a bit of content. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- comment - I added some small amount of content, and 2 proper (though perhaps not high quality) sources, to back up the article topic's notability. I assume this'll get a relist, though, as nobody's been weighing in. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 21:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Titans (Warcraft)
Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.
As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This characters article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.
This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- merge all into one massive Warcraft NPC article. It's no worse than other fancruft all over Wikipedia if it's consolidated. This vote goes for all the AfDs posted by IAmSasori that say "do not merge" but I'm far too lazy to post this in all the AfDs. Hansonc 22:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge as appropriate, Keep as appropriate (i.e., if notable and supported). Was it really necessary to create some 40+ different AfDs when many during the combined AfD suggested either a keep or a merge? Surely simply relying on that is better than spamming AfD 40+ times?

- Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. While I think a drive to delete all these Warcraft articles is a magnificently obnoxious contribution to deletionism, I'm fairly sure that this article is significant. Arthas is going to be the chief antagonist in the new expansion for World of Warcraft. He was the protagonist of Warcraft III. The character has had a significant impact on the Warcraft gameworld. I'd rate his importance similarly to that of Elminster in the Forgotten Realms fantasy world - a character whose actions span across several media and alter the fictional world.
Ah, screw it. Go on, delete Arthas. Nobody cares about Warcraft characters. But by God, I'd expect to see every single Pokemon critter entry, every single Final Fantasy character entry, every single Tolkien character entry deleted at the same time. Do I think these are all equivalent? Not really. But I'm sure that a complete stranger to the series wouldn't read about Electrike or Kefka or Barahir. Their articles violate "WP:Plot" and "WP:OR" and "WP:N" too. Well, not really, they don't. Not for a reasonable definition of the terms. But the AfD nominator clearly doesn't agree with a reasonable definition. So I say keep - unless you're planning on cutting every single fictional character's entry that doesn't have a third party source. Allandaros 01:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:FICT. The article is entirely an in-universe plot summary. No indication of real-world context or notability. Google search returned a fair number of hits, but they seem to be limited to passing mention in videogame reviews/guides and fansites so it's unlikely this character has been covered substantially by sources independent of the subject.

DarthSidious 07:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)DarthSidious
- Keep - Firstly, the article doesn't feature any fancruft/fanfiction or original research. Also, he is an important character in a famous fictional universe. So, if Doctor Doom, Emperor Palpatin or the Joker have articles, so can Arthas.Dimts 19:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captain Placeholder
Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.
As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.
This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.
This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep; (a) try properly AfDing it, which is clearly described on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and does not involve moving the old page, and (b) if you're going to avoid a mass deletion, then avoid a mass deletion and treat each article distinctly. Don't post a bunch of reasons the article should be deleted and then state that they may not be relevant. Furthermore, the claim that a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all is wrong, given the number of times I've went to Wikipedia trying to understand an out-of-context quip someone made, and irrelevant. A complete stranger to English literature isn't going to try and look up Moby Dick. Someone not familiar with Australia isn't going to look up Robert Askin. Not every article in Wikipedia has to be for everyone.--Prosfilaes 22:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.
As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.

HesitantKeep - The article is a god awful mess, but I believe it is notable enough on its own (major characters in TV shows meet the notability requirements so it only seems fitting that major characters in equally popular games do the same). Granted the article is a disaster right now but deleting it would set a precedent that would make it difficult to recreate it in proper form. As for it being OR, most, if not all of that information seems to be taken (although not properly referenced, from the various texts associated with the games and from actuall in-game mentions, cinematics, and so forth. Very little of it actually appears to be conjecture.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 09:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. She was notable at the time. She seems to have been the subject of at least two biographies shortly after her death (both to be found on Google Books). Matthew Arnold refers to her, unfavourably, in one of his essays and her work crossed the Atlantic, where the Methodist Review in 1855, in a backhanded compliment, said: "WE must give the praise of good intention, at least, to "The Dream of Pythagoras, and Other Poems, by EMMA TATHAM ...

[edit] List of Warcraft organizations
Fails notability, appears to be pure gamecruft, and is badly unsourced.
This use is most likely not going to be much use or even glanced at by a non-player of the Warcraft series, failing notability.
It appears to be cruft that may also be emerging with original research.
One final important note is that there are no sources whatsoever on the article.

[edit] List of Blu-ray Discs
Originally listed at C:CSD, but fails to meet any specific criteria. However, such a list would be exceedingly long and of little encyclopedic value - it would be comparable to "List of 8 tracks" or "List of television shows". Also includes List of HD DVDs. Delete Tijuana Brass 21:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Blu-ray Discs may be relatively new but there's nothing particularly special about movies that use them. It will be too broad to be a maintainable list. Spellcast 21:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete While I hope the format does fail (like every other format Sony has created), there is the possibility that it might not and this list would become huge (imagine if someobody tried to this with DVDs, the US alone gets over 100 new DVDs every week). The list would become even bigger if PlayStation 3 games were added (since they are all on Blu-ray Discs). TJ Spyke 22:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete essentially an endless list. Chris! ct 22:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Premature for this sort of list. If Blu-Ray wins the format war, then every release will be Blu-Ray. The list could have tens of thousands of titles. If, on the other hand, it goes the way of Beta, then a list of the limited-number of releases would be a viable idea. But not at this stage of the game.

This article is not appropriate to an encyclopedia.

[edit] Paki shop
This page was speedily deleted in September, although it did not validly meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. I asked for this to be restored so that it goes through a full AfD process. As for the article itself, I think a merge of any sourcable content and redirect to the "Paki" section of List of ethnic slurs would be the best option. h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 20:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Redirect - as the admin who deleted it, I agree with this. ELIMINATORJR 00:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's definitely not a valid article. If you're going to include "Paki shop" you may as well include "redneck bar", for example. The term "Paki" on it's own doesn't even have it's own page, and just redirects to "List of ethnic slurs". Furthermore, "Paki shop" isn't even a widely used term in itself. Search Google for it and you'll only find 547 instances of it. There are multiple different variations of what they might call a shop owned by someone of South Asian descent, such as "The Paki's" being much more common where I live, and others such as "Paki store", "the Paki tip" etc. The content just describes the origin of the racial slur "Paki", which is already covered in the list of ethnic slurs and the description of what a "Paki shop" sells is just that of a convenience store. I think it should just be removed outright like it was before, or it should redirect to the List of ethnic slurs. It's a really stupid article and doesn't deserve a place in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Impulsion (talk • contribs) 23:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect. I'm undecided whether it would be better merged into List of ethnic slurs or Convenience store, but it should go into one or other of those. Definately shouldn't continue to exist in its own right. --AliceJMarkham 04:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doug Denneny
Taken from the talk page, as I think it sums up the article best: "This person does not appear to meet notability standards because he is merely a declared candidate for Congress and has not actually won that office, and has not otherwise met notability criteria. It's a borderline case, though, which is why I did not immediately nominate this for deletion. Moreover, the article is written like a news release and had issues with neutral points of view. If these issues persist, I will eventually nominate this for deletion." - User:Realkyhick. I don't think he's notable, so I prodded the article and invited Reallyhick to PROD2. This AFD is a result of the prod being disputed. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 19:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Commander Denneny is one of the few airmen to earn the distinguished flying cross with a V for valor. He is also the most senior fighter pilot to criticize the Iraq War. In addition, he is expected to win his party's nomination in what will prove to be one of the most contested elections of the 08 cycle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesmoor (talk • contribs) 19:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- As someone interested in Denneny due all the blog coverage of him, I think this article is perfectly acceptable. How he has grounds for deletion as a top fighter pilot with a noteworthy career and new political presence makes no sense to me. If problems due to 'point of view' are present, lets get them edited and be done with it. Deletion of an article based on one person's opinion over if Denneny is a big enough figure for wikipedia seems ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atom55 (talk • contribs) 19:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC) The aforementioned user has made few edits to Wikipedia, and appears to be a single-purpose account.

- Delete. Being a candidate for a WP:BIO office by itself does not qualify under WP:BIO. Being a successful commander, even winning a few medals, is also not notability (just look at the Ds for the DFC). There isn't consensus that the Congressional Medal of Honor equals inherent notability, let alone the DFC.

- I think the discussion about notability is a worthy one. It is my assertion that he is notable enough, and that this article will provide a resource (outside of campaign website, which in nature is clearly not neutral) for folks who want to know more about important races in 2008. That aside, the article is certainly not a campaign brochure: it states no platforms or positions. If it is written terribly, I urge you to edit it and improve it.

- Delete This is not original thought as it has been published and his paper is linked to by the article. It is however not notable. I am both an Australian and in the field, and I have never come accross this paper or any of its proponents. This is particularly significant since the idea's creator (like any idea that opposes natural selection as the ONLY method of evolution) fails to fully understand the absolute scope of modern selection theory. That is, that any change is only successful if it is favorable. In any case the idea is too far outside the scope of main stream science to garner any notability in that respect, and it is also absent from the popular press. Bobby1011 07:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

If a gaming console that's discussed by gaming publications doesn't meet wp:nn it's time to fix wp:nn.

Leave notability to the experts not the unwashed masses :-) Hansonc 20:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

These should be considered for integration into the article and the article neutered from any promotional tone.

[edit] Overrated
The article is not encyclopedic, it is in fact a vanity page done as an homage to a former guild from World of Warcraft. The guild was banned for exploiting a bug, and a few articles were written about the exploit. Those articles are being used as a justification for the existence of this page even though the articles have little or nothing to say about the guild itself. The only information that might be arguably notable (if you consider the few sources for it) would be the exploit itself, but that would exist in a different article about the exploit specifically. -- Atamasama 17:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I posted one request in the WoW main article where a deletion for this page was discussed to let people know that this article was being put up for AfD. Why did I mention fanboys? Because I was informed that the polite request I'd put in to have this article reviewed by an admin was deleted by a former guildmember, and so I expected to have a biased response against the AfD.

Wow members are banned everyday for a variety of reasons including exploiting. Even the exploit itself certainly is not notable even within the specialized realm of exploits, let alone a general encylopedia. If wiki were to have an article about every minor computer exploit, it would resemble a technical journal more so than an encylopedia.

- Maybe it will help if I point out what part of WP:N would apply here. It states that Wikipedia is concerned with long-term notability. Something that seems notable on a short-term basis is suited better for Wikinews than Wikipedia. This is the criteria for an independent article. In other words, even if you only consider the exploit and not the guild it still lacks enough long-term notability to have its own page, but you might perhaps add the exploit information to a page about online game cheating. -- Atamasama 23:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment People keep saying things like "Delete per WP:N" and while such arguments should generally be avoided WP:VAGUEWAVE, there are people who have specifically mentioned that it does pass WP:N. I guess it needs to be explained in more detail. From WP:N:
- "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
- "Presumed": It doesn't fail WP:NOT. No problems with that there. Maybe people are meaning something like this, but then, it wouldn't be a problem with WP:N, it would be a problem with some other guideline (like WP:NOT).
- "Significant Coverage": Gamespot, softpedia, and WoW insider (aka joystiq) all give significant coverage to the event. Yes, it may just be the event that's notable. I'm admitting that. In such a case a Rename would be necessary.
- "Reliable" Gamespot and Joystiq are considered excellently-reliable sources in the video game world. WoW insider, even more so in the WoW world. Admittedly, I haven't heard of softpedia, but I think the case is strong without it.
- "Sources" There are multiple, secondary, high-quality sources
- "independent" they are all objective, indepdendent sources, with no leaps of analysis.
- Basically, what I'm saying is that if someone says, "Delete, fails WP:N" they'd better have a good reason, because it seems very clear to me that it passes WP:N. McKay 06:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment You completely ignored my explanation above, Mckay. I suggest you read it. Essentially, an article must have long-term notability to justify its existence, all cited news sources for this article were published within 2 days of each other. Allow me to quote from WP:N:
- "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
-
-
A short burst of present news coverage about a topic does not necessarily constitute objective evidence of long-term notability. Conversely, if long-term coverage has been sufficiently demonstrated, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest. Topics that did not meet the notability guidelines at one point in time may meet the notability guidelines as time passes. However, articles should not be written based on speculation that the topic may receive additional coverage in the future.
- -- Atamasama 07:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Atama, I understand your perspective, but you must understand that the policy says that such events could be notable or not. There's nothing in WP:N that states that the topic isn't notable, but merely that it's possible it isn't notable. You can vote, state an opinion clearly that you think that because it was a short burst, it wasn't notable. Your opinion is valid, Stating "fails WP:N" is not entirely correct. McKay 17:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- This is not just my opinion. Take a look at WP:NOT for further discussion:
-
Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events, while keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. Someone or something that has been in the news for a brief period is not necessarily a suitable subject for an article in their own right. While Wikipedia strives to be comprehensive, the policies on biographies of living persons and neutral point of view should lead us to contextualize events appropriately, which may preclude a biography about someone who is not an encyclopedic subject, despite a brief appearance in the news. Routine news coverage and matters lacking encyclopedic substance, such as announcements, sports, gossip, and tabloid journalism, are not sufficient basis for an article. News outlets are reliable secondary sources when they practice competent journalistic reporting, however, and topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for Wikinews.
- There has to be something really special about this subject for it to be worth having its own article despite a lack of long-term notability. Nobody has demonstrated anything but the opposite in this discussion. -- Atamasama 00:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

- Change my 'vote' to delete. I'm convinced- there is no lasting notability, as far as I can see. Unless someone can find a mention of the guild from either before or a fair while after the banning, then this should go as having no lasting notability. J Milburn 18:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carlton Dotson
He's a college kid who murdered someone and went to Jail. It was newsworthy, and we've got sources from newspapers, but I can't find evidence of any enduring significance beyond that. (If someone can fine). This isn't encyclopedic - we are not a database dump for yesterday's news. -Docg 17:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Would be notable per WP:BIO anyways as a "Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them)." Also, this wasn't an average murder case that got a few blurbs in local press. This was a situation that recieved COPIOUS coverage in national news and print media, including ESPN and other sources. While I would agree that most murders are not in-and-of-themselves notable, this single one appears to be. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Can you explain how "highest level" includes a college team? And where are the secondary sources relating to his sports notability? --Docg 18:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Division I basketball is the highest level of amateur competition...there are already verifiable secondary sources in the article. But seriously...if that's the only thing you can come up with...Speedy Keep. This case was extremely notable, there are almost 4,000 google news hits for it from just about every media outlet you can name. Smashville 18:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Where is the evidence of notability beyond the event?--Docg 18:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Where is the evidence of a lack of notability? Why does he have to be notable outside of the event? Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jeffrey Dahmer and David Berkowitz weren't notable outside of their murders. JonBenet Ramsey is only notable for being murdered. He was the subject of major national press for at least 3 years. Smashville 18:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Calm down. I'm willing to be convinced here. There are as it stands NO SOURCES in the article that show he'd be a notable athlete even if he'd not been murdering people. If they exist, I'll withdraw the nomination. Oswald etc are bad comparisons. They were and are continually discussed in serious literature decades later. The murders were notable not just for the murders but the ongoing impact, investigations, court cases, etc. All will be in books of significant murders for all eternity. Indeed any history of America will mention Oswald at least, and a history of crime likely to cite Manson. There's no evidence of that in this case. I'm willing to be convinced. Can you show some cultural impact, legal or investigative breakthrough, something to show this isn't just yesterday's news. As I say, I am truely willing to be convinced.--Docg 18:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Whether or not he was a notable athlete is irrelevant. That's not the primary source of his notability...However, per WP:BIO, "Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports" is generally notable. NCAA DI is the highest level of amateur basketball in the United States. Virtually all of the secondary sources refer to him as a "former Baylor basketball player". As for the murderers I used, I only used those as they were the most prominent. "Yesterday's news" is also known as history. The burden is on you to show why an article with significant coverage in at least 4,000 reliable secondary sources is not notable. Smashville 19:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

keep per reasons above. the murder is notable, and technically, whether he committed a murder or not, he is notable as he performed at the "highest level in amateur sports" although that needs to be sourced. and yes I'm well aware and have had countless discussions about how many people this means there could be a wikipedia article on. But..as it has been said wikipedia is not paper. Barsportsunlimited 23:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, although I would move to 2007 Baylor basketball murder or similar and merge the victim in as well. Neither player was a particular standout even if both had prospects. There was heavy media attention as Division I college players almost never murder one another. But the case arguably was important just as much for the fallout, which included recruiting irregularities that were uncovered, leading Baylor to face NCAA suspension known as the "death penalty" (they barely escaped) and put themselves on three years' probation. The case spurred discussion about gun ownership on campuses as well as the NCAA rule about one-year scholarships, which put pressure on players and lead to transfers and less oversight/mentoring/etc. These aspects didn't subside entirely until 2005 or so.

- A Google search for "Richard F. Costigan" brings up The Consensus Of The Church And Papal Infallibility as his most prominent book, which is easy to find. His other book Rohrbacher... appears to be translated into several languages. • Gene93k 17:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Oh, I have apparently misunderstood; I thought that this citation here was for a scholarly article in the Journal of Theological Studies behind a paywall. I take it that it's some sort of book review from what • Gene93k is saying, and now that I dig more deeply, I find another cite from a Norwegian site with an English description. My apologies for having misunderstood. I've withdrawn my deletion suggestion and I'm going to remain uncommitted in this discussion, because I couldn't find a scrap of biographical information about this individual (and partly because I feel a bit dim for having mistaken the citation; apparently I'm not understanding this sort of publishing history). But the Norwegian site also confirms that he's the author of "Rohrbacher and the Ecclesiology of Ultramontanism", if that helps anyone. Accounting4Taste 18:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Weak Keep Checking in Worldcat, I find "Consensus of the Church" in 156 libraries, and "Rohrbacher" in 114--I see no evidence of translations. This seems to be about as widespread interest as one could expect on thissort of topic. there seem to be 3 additional articles, of his, plus he has written 5 book reviews. There seems to be sat least 2 reviews o "Consensus" I think this is borderline. Two books is just enough to get someone tenure which is the meaning of an appointment as Associate Professor. Since that indicates acceptance by ones peers as a productive scholar, I can see including this level as notable. I don;t think that question is decided. DGG (talk) 00:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- delete having accomplished the minimum to obtain tenure doesn't equate to encylopedic notability, I don't think this passes WP:PROF. Pete.Hurd 03:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per Pete.Hurd. WP:PROF guildelines have not been met. Doctorfluffy 05:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. An associate professor in the humanities with two university-press published books is rather unremarkable per se. I should note that his "consensus" book does have reviews in Theological Studies and Irish Theological Quarterly, and his ultramontanism book has a review in Church History; the existence of these reviews is also unremarkable but does satisfy the requirement for nontrivial independent reliable sourcing. —David Eppstein 15:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. DGG's argument is compelling, and I think that Eppstein's findings place the subject above the "average professor" bar. But the article's subject clears the bar only barely and probably would not under any more strenuous tests (evidence of major award, etc.). For borderline cases such as these, I think we can take into account the quality of the article, its probability of future expansion, and loss to the world if it were removed. The article's prospects look bad under each of these three "tiebreakers," so I go with delete. If evidence of much greater notability is uncovered in the future, recreating the article in its current state or better would pose no problem to a future writer. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 03:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment . I agree that a really lousy article can condemn a good topic if nobody will fix it, but we should otherwise be judging the subject, not the article, as it is much easier to improve than to re-create. As for your other criteria, as the person is only still writing, there will most likely be another book; and there is almost no article in WP which would really individually be a loss to the world.

[edit] Famous Poets of Hazara
Deletion nomination Fails WP:LIST requirements, basically there are no standards for inclusion beyond "famous" and this requirement is unreferenced. No standards for inclusion makes this an indescriminate list, and this information could more adequately be handled by a category. Right now its just a red-link farm. I understand that these MAY be notable poets, but without sources, it is impossible to determine that yet. Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

If anyone thinks this woman has received 'significant' coverage, then your thinking is far too provincial. Prior to the biased comments posted against her I never heard of Tannis Drysdale before. The chattering classes of northwestern Ontario may have heard of her, but no one else has. We have a regional Chamber here, like most areas. Don't ask me who the president is, though, because they are not notable. If you made a list of notable people from northern Ontario I'm sure Ms. Drysdale would make the first draft, but come on ... really ... who would put her on the final list. Think big picture here.

Fails WP:BIO. References are limited to vanity press IUniverse, press release websites and the like - all of which fail WP:V. The creation of Randyej (talk · contribs), a single purpose account. Possibly WP:COI. Victoriagirl 16:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I am also nominating the following related pages. The first, The Writer's Studio of Utah, fails WP:ORG. The second, This Thing Called Love: Love Stories to Gladden the Heart and Warm the Soul is a self-published book that fails WP:BK. The claims that it is "a cult classic in the United States and Great Britain" and that it sold "nearly five hundred thousand copies after its first year of release" are unreferenced. Both are the creation of Randyej (talk · contribs).

[edit] Nokia 6256i
Non-notable cellular phone. This product isn't notable; it's just another incarnation of a common object with no discerning features, no sustaining influence on the market or design, and little longevity. Doesn't meet WP:PRODUCT. Article is unlikely to be repaired because of the lack of substantial sources for this product.
Expried {{prod}} was removed by [[User:]] with the comment "decline prod, all the other Nokia phones seem to have articles; take to afd instead". This acknowledges the problem that Wikipedia is becoming a product catalog, though several Nokia phone articles have been deleted by the prod and AfD processes. Mikeblas 15:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Tough one. On the one side we have a rake of articles about phones, not only Nokia ones. On the other side, I looked at a random selection and quite a few of them are littered with original research, ad spam, and so on. I think overall, it's a delete with a caveat that this isn't to be a binding precedent. Stifle (talk) 16:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- keep Unless there is a policy about deleting every article about every product ever made. Probably a cleanup candidate unless someone wants to merge all Nokia phone articles into one hugantic article. Hansonc 16:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Delete kind of looks like spam also if you allow this that means every cell phone ever made and sold should have it's own page. Yourname 01:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- do you feel the same way about iphone? or Google_phone which doesn't even exist by the way. The same arguement can be made for Toyota_Prius or HP-35. One product article can't be viewed any differently than others. Personally I couldn't care less about this article in general, I'll never look for it but I do believe Wikipedia should be about creation and not pointless destruction. Don't like the article? Fix it don't just delete it because you don't like it. </rant> Hansonc 15:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Bobby1011 07:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and close discussion. We should not consider similar articles on a case by case basis because this leads to inconsistent results. Most Nokia phones have articles and they generally (but don't always) survive AfD. This one has about 500K google hits but only 1 article - it's clearly a real, substantial product, but only one of a line.Creating holes in the coverage through occasional random deletions hurts the reliability and encyclopedic coverage of Wikipedia far more than it helps. If necessary, redirect and merge if it is simply a variant of a more popular model. If not, close and re-nominate in a group with all the other Nokia phones and possibly other brands (or bring this up as a policy discussion, not wily nilly Afd). Wikidemo 22:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Keeping because other stuff exists isn't a valid reason. Batch AfDs have the problem of either fully succeeding or fully failing -- they almost always result in other editors asking for re-listing as individual AfDs. "Holes in coverage" exist around products in a "line" that aren't notable; fact is, none of the products should be listed because Wikipedia isn't a Nokia catalog. -- Mikeblas 09:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

While the article does assert the company's notability, it does not do so from reliable secondary sources, which is the primary criterion from WP:ORG.

- Keep. It meets the notability standards and, as a major (claimed to be largest or fastest growing) Christian print on demand publisher, it's a rather significant subject. I found some sources and added them. It wasn't that hard - google is a wonderful thing. There are far more sources if someone would care to check. Merging isn't terribly appropriate because they are different companies with different histories and purposes. One simply bought the other last year.Wikidemo 21:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Good work. A couple of the pieces seem like they're regurgitating the company's positive-spin statements about itself, but nonetheless they do seem to qualify as reliable. I still think they should be merged until such time as this merits its own article, however. Salem is a parent company, and not all of a parent's subsidiaries necessarily need their own articles. --Flex (talk/contribs) 22:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep I think that the Gulf News article cited by A. B. indicates notability. The fact that the artist is not in an English-speaking country means that there is likely to be less English-language coverage than for an artist of similar merit in an English-speaking country. Article needs help, due in large part to the limited English-language ability of its primary contributor.

[edit] Pyroterrorism
This article was speedy deleted during its first AfD as a hoax. DRV overturned as "hoax" is not a CSD criterion, especially for articles with sources. Still, Delete, given notability concerns, pending other opinions. Xoloz 14:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not sure whether you can define this as a 'hoax', but it's definitely an unverifiable neologism which seems to have no wide usage. Google picks up a few hundred hits, but none that I'd consider as being a reliable source. Tx17777 14:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, sufficient coverage and sources are cited to make me think this is more than a random neologism. Stifle (talk) 17:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- If you follow those cited sources, the only ones which actually mention the word appear to be little more than blogs. The reputable news organizations cited make no mention of the term, and all the google hits also appear to be blogs or other similar sites. You can argue this term is more that just a neologism only if you can find some reputable newsworthy or academic sources that use the term "pyroterrorism", but for now, this appears to be nothing more than a sensationalist term for arson. Tx17777 17:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merged and redirect to arson. As a term there are very few uses of "pyroterrorism" outside blogs. There are a handful of instances such as Greece and Australia where the word "terrorism" has been bandied about in relation to human-set fires, but it's not clear that anyone has ever been prosecuted under a terrorism charge for setting a fire. Academic study of the issue seems quite limited (given that pyroterrorism vs. arson is essentially a matter of motive rather than means or effect). --Dhartung | Talk 19:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - The use of fire for criminal purposes falls under the accepted terms "arson" and "terrorism". I doubt terrorism by arson meets WP:V and WP:NOTE, but even if it did, it should be added into one or both of those existing articles. I see no need for an article on something called "pyroterrorism"(?). If it is "more than a random neologism", why is neither the term nor the subject mentioned anywhere in the existing terrorism article? - Neparis 22:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, neologism, attempt of the media to sell a new shocking word. There's 1 occurence of the term on Google scholar. The traditional term serves quite well.

- Delete again As the original nominator on AfD #1, I still don't see this as worth having. Not notable term. Again, look at the lack of sources. Please review my complete failure to find anything on AfD #1. Also, protect for now vs. recreation. • Lawrence Cohen 05:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

- Merge Per WP:NEO, we should avoid having articles on neologisms. And I don't see enough to justify an article on the term. Arson or Tactics of terrorism would seem appropriate locations to merge to. The one person from our Wikiproject on Terrorism who showed up to DRV preferred Arson; I don't have strong opinions. There is enough sourcing available, generally linked in the article or the DRV, to support a merge and redirect. GRBerry 19:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Merging this list into the main Ravenloft article would make that article too long.

[edit] CHERUB: The Recruit
There is no assertion of notability, nor reference to independent sources, for any of these books, apart from belonging to the CHERUB series. I am also nominating the following articles, one for each book of the series, some of which not yet published. In each case apparently there is not more to say than summarising the plot, and in some cases a bit of OR.
- CHERUB: Class A (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- CHERUB: Maximum Security (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

--Goochelaar 13:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - after looking at the CHERUB article, I get the feeling, with some reliable sources, most (if not all) of these books will meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). However, the CHERUB: Dark Sun (yet to be released) should probably be deleted until it's closer to it's release date, because right now, it's pure WP:CRYSTAL. Jauerback 13:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep very notable book series, bestselling, award-winning, published in a number of countries. Notable enough that each book deserves an article IMHO, although a merge would also be acceptable provided no major information is lost. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Strong delete - After reading the main CHERUB article and its talk page, it's obvious that a fan base exists which is maintaining and puffing up the series' importance. There is no way, however, to make a case for the notability of each constituent volume. If it becomes a serious major phenomenon, perhaps then; but for now, what we mostly have is peacockery and unsubstantiated claims. There's more than enough material in the main article; these articles are overkill and fanboyism (apparently literally by fanboys, rather than post-adolescents; not that there's anything wrong with younger editors participating in this project, of course). --Orange Mike 14:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree with your assessment. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "major phenomenon", but the latest book is currently ranked 86th on Amazon. They might not be Harry Potter (which for comparison's sake is ranked 40th), but they're not some vanity-press dreck that we delete by the bucketload here on AfD, either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to imply that the series fails notability; but the individual volumes simply do not qualify; that's all I meant. The series' advocates should concentrate on sourcing and cleaning up the parent article and the one about the author (which latter is still too chummy/cutesy for words). --Orange Mike 14:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep I came here to vote Delete, for I feel towards this kind of stuff the way I do about television series episode articles. This is one of the places where I think our rules followed literally may give slightly absurd results. There will be a few reviews at least for every individual one of these titles--and for a great many less important books as well, especially childrens books. But it will be very difficult for the articles to be more than plot summary (that what the reviews tend to be as well)there is more to say, but the usual editors of these articles may not be prepared to discuss influences from other series, such character development as there may be, the structure of the plot in the terms used by professional authors, the publishing history, and so one. Now, this is true for almost any book--if it has 2 reviews, it is justified by N:Fiction, and an article could be written, potentially a good one if people are prepared to do the work. But what books are worth doing? Especially in a series like this? I don't have an answer to this one.
-
- but there are some interesting things about these particular articles. After the first, they are unusually compact and well written for articles about fan fiction. They are also unusually consistent. They are not being done by random fans, but by a relatively small group of people, mostly at ip addresses, some of whom obviously have considerable sophistication at WP. (They have also consistently taken the first paragraph of each article by copy and paste from the series web site. But the rest seems from the edit history to have been written as originals). They also seem to be still under development--a section on reviews seems to be being added, and possibly one on characters. So they are rather good articles of their kind.
- So we have a choice--do we accept these articles, or do we change our rules. The sales rank is high enough to be notable, and there are available sources. if we don;t want to include them, we need a different rule.
- Perhaps the problem is that notability is linked to the articles level--perhaps instead it should be linked at a appropriate standard to content, and the question of whether or not something is an article be a minor decision. This would be different from our present merge, which usually operates to destroy content altogether. DGG (talk) 15:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep all. I think that these books are notable enough and seeing as Wikipedia has articles on books, I think that they should be kept. However, I agree that Dark Sun should be deleted due to WP:CRYSTAL. I will also try and improve all the articles as a fan of the series and have them set out in a way similiar to the Alex Rider books. Kyriakos 08:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Interesting and notable. (I only arrived at this page because I was looking up the author and the various titles.) <KF> 19:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep all, except CHERUB: Dark Sun per Jauerback and DGG. If CHERUB: Dark Sun is being released as part as World Book Day, that shows that the series as a whole is very popular among young readers. Some of the books have won also won awards. I think DGG's point about children's and young adult books is important; a lot of extremely popular children's books are not going to get a lot of coverage in WP:RS unless those books also appeal to adults (like Harry Potter or His Dark Materials) or they are books that adults think are "worthy" reading material for children. Deleting articles like these reduces Wikipedia's utility for our younger readers and editors (if I was 12, these are exactly the kind of articles I would read) I think in these cases, individual articles for each book with a concise plot summary, publication information, and information about any awards are OK. If there were separate articles about characters or story arcs from the books, then there would be a problem IMO. Bláthnaid 11:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment - I am the nominator, and I'd like to comment on some of the above comments. I have nothing against these books, and if they are actually notable, I am the first one to wish that good articles are written about some or all of them. But as things stand, most of the remarks are either on the lines of it's interesting and the like, or mention vast popularity, awards and other merits I can't find any source about in the articles. If those awards and merits are real, and notable, there should be some kind of source about them. I understand that some editors of these article are young enthusiasts of the series, more knowledgeable about its content than about Wikipedia standards: this enthusiasm is very good indeed, but perhaps some of the more mature editors supporting the notability of these books could spend some time sourcing the articles? Thanks, Goochelaar 13:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- I've added a source about CHERUB: The Recruit winning the Red House Children's Book Award [13]. That award was voted for by children and proves that the series is popular amongst them, as does a book in the series being part of World Book Day [14]. I think that if a children's book is published by a prominent publisher, is obviously popular (eg these Amazon reviews), and translated into other languages de:CHERUB [15] they should be allowed to have articles, at least until 12 year olds start writing WP:RS. Also, there is an article about a character in the books, James Adams (character), which I think should be merged into the main CHERUB article. Bláthnaid 00:24, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Donato
Long comments have been refactored to the talk page to aid readability of the day's discussion. This is not to be seen as asserting that those comments are worth any less than others here. Stifle (talk) 18:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Fine art photographer/ director Edward Donato aka Eduardus Donatella, (born in Los Angeles, September 25, 1970) is probably best known for writing and directing the 2002 dramatic dark comedy "Jesus Is Coming". About which dramatic dark comedy imdb.com has remarkably little to say. Number of user comments: zero. Of external reviews: zero. Total Donato "presence" on imdb.com other than this one dramatic dark comedy: zero. The article is full of grand claims, which I flagged with {{fact}} thingies, which in turn were quickly removed. Little on google, though he does have a MySpace page. Very minor notability in film, no credible claim of notability in photography, a massive whiff of promotion. -- Hoary 11:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Update: in a single edit, the SP-IP has removed most of the article (and, surprise surprise, the AfD notice). So now our man is described as little more than the author/director of this film. Although the film came out in 2002 (when the web was of course already in full swing) and has had five full years to achieve fame and glory, Google tells a sad story. It does have a page at toptenreviews.com, but this too is less than enthralling. -- Hoary 13:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sony Ericsson W660i
A recently created directory style entry for a version of the Sony Ericsson phone; I have cleaned the article recently but it still does not establish notability or verification. The article was recently PRODed with the following concern: Non-notable cellular phone. This product isn't notable; it's just another incarnation of a common object with no discerning features, no sustaining influence on the market or design, and little longevity. Doesn't meet WP:PRODUCT. Article is unlikely to be repaired because of the lack of substantial sources for this product. However the article had already been PRODed and contested before hand so I am bringing this to AFD. Camaron1 | Chris 17:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] York Union
This is an article on York University's debating club. It was AfD'ed previously, deleted, and reposted, but the current version is somewhat different from the deleted version (diff) and seems to assert notability with phrases like "increasing its involvement in the national debating circuit" and "sends teams to inter-varsity competitions", so I thought of bringing it here to see what everyone thinks. Resurgent insurgent 06:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not going to say anything about notability because I am ignorant of the norms for debating societies and school clubs in general - but there seems to be a distinct lack of sources. --Gwern (contribs) 15:59 24 October 2007 (GMT)
- Delete. I believe there is general consensus that student clubs at particular schools or universities are not notable, unless there are solid sources establishing general notability.
I also note that the article was apparently deleted through AfD last year and recreated (at "York union", with different capitalization) this past March. If the versions are substantially the same, I would urge speedy delete under WP:CSD#G4.-David Schaich Talk/Cont 19:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don Snow aka Jonn Savannah
- Don Snow aka Jonn Savannah (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
- Included in this nomination:
Both of these articles are highly non-neutral articles that do not establish how these artists are notable outside of their memberships in their associated bands. Neither offer any references to this effect (other than Snow's own website), and a quick search on Google (admittedly not too detailed) didn't turn much up either. I recommend that each of these pages is redirected to The Sinceros, as that appears to be the most notable band that each of these artists stuck with the longest. (Snow is reported in the article to have also toured with Squeeze, whose article confirms this, but it appears to have been a lesser involvement than he had with The Sinceros.)
Summary: Non-notable outside bands, non-neutral, unreferenced, so redirect to The Sinceros. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep Maybe a slightly borderline case, but I'd say all of the above seem notable. If they were notable for involvement with only one band, I'd say a merge might be in order, but that isn't the case here. They definitely need cleanup and de-POV though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aas
Suspected hoax, I find it very hard to believe that they could measure anything so small in the 17th century. Used in trading bulbs? You'd need about 50,000+ Aas for a single bulb.
- How were they supposed to measure the weight of a bulb to the nearest .0018g in the 17th century? This is smaller than the weight of a single grain of sand.
- Even if they could, why would they need to?

- Strong Keep - Notable as claimed; Ms. Abedin is too prominent in the photos to be just 'one of many staffers'. Dave Fafarman 16:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notable as claimed, though another good media source would help. I removed a pseudo source, from Free Republic and the BLP libel it "documented." DGG (talk) 05:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep She's the top aide to the most likely future President of the United States, for crying out loud; that makes her notable. And while the lesbian lover stuff should be kept to a minimum until the story breaks in the dominant national media, its beginning to appear that its only a matter of time before that happens. It would be inefficient to delete the article now, and then have to revive it when The Los Angeles Times breaks the story on the apparent lesbian love affair between Ms. Abedin and Sen. Clinton. KevinOKeeffe 08:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Very strong keep... how does deleting the entry of a person who is without a doubt, a major party in Hillary's campaign, even if the rumors are rumors, why delete known facts to protect her. If you decide that this is a reason to delete, then how is the neutrality of wiki upheld? If deleted, couldn't it be said that you are ignoring persons entries simply because there is one piece that may not be flattering? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chilei (talk • contribs) 00:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep Whether or not anybody agrees with this, she's becoming the center of attention, an attention that could possibly end a political career or she could be a key person to the history of a President.
- Very strong keep - regardless of the truth behind current allegations, it seems plain that this person is an influential advisor to an influential woman. No reason to remove it, and I think the present article dances around the lesbian rumors without good reason. stephan.com 05:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ansel Bourne
Delete biographical stub with no adequate source regarding notability. An item listed as trivia at IMDB is not sufficient proof that he inspired The Bourne Identity. Doczilla 07:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers
looks like a high-school essay. nothing salvageable except for maybe the ref-list and that would need to be checked out by someone with access to the books anyway. Law/Disorder 06:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge any useful content into Hummingbird, and perhaps keep the rest of it in a subpage of the talk page for future editing. This text is obviously a good faith attempt to contribute; it has references, it needs wikification and editing for clarity and style. Ideally it should be flagged as needing expert attention. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Hummingbird#Feeding, move to subtalk page, per Smerdis. That section could do with some expansion.--victor falk 20:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Merge and/or Keep I think the context of the article is misdirected. There should be links to Symbiosis and Hummingbird and links to bridging articles which detail all types of these relationships, which I know are extensive and varied. scope_creep 21:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep , maybe Merge to Hummingbird. I hate to say that I had to look up the definition of ornithophilous flowers, for which there is no article. Sadly, this article doesn't identify which types of flowers are "ornithophilous" but the term is from ornitho (bird) and philo (love), and means flowers that are pollinated by birds. I'm not sure that a merge would add anything... flowers that are pollinated by birds are likely to be pollinated by [pick the best answer] : (a) a vulture (b) an ostrich (c) a hummingbird Mandsford 02:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Delete Subject is not independently notable per WP:NN and WP:BIO. Strothra 06:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Elizabeth Kucinich has been the subject of public interest and of some news coverage. There are sufficient secondary sources to warrant an article about her per WP:BIO. --Metropolitan90 07:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Worth keeping for now. If her husband fails in his presidential bid then the page perhaps should be merged with his or deleted, but for now there is more than enough reason to keep it.Alberon 09:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I'm not trying to provoke anyone, but this nomination seems a little silly. There's plenty of reputable coverage specifically about Ms Kucinich, and we can't simply exclude someone because her/his spouse is more notable. The article could provide more extensive sourcing, but of course I'm too lazy to do it myself. Gerta 13:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Hansonc 17:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Nomination is frivolous. Elizabeth Kucinich is more notable than 75%-plus of Wikipedia's article subjects. An accomplished woman of social justice, who is married to a major-party presidential candidate, with hundreds of mainstream media news articles about her -- why is this up for deletion? ---Elpepe talk! 20:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Again with the frivolous nominations. It is clearly notable, even when you exclude her husband from the argument. scope_creep 21:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ultra Keep If we go around deleting every Wikipedia entry of marginal importance, fully 60% of the band pages would be gone overnight. If I can get information about an obscure 1940's Bollywood actress, why not the wife of a current presidential candidate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.209.188 (talk) 02:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ultra Keep Why is this up for deletion? Has interesting facts probably not widely known anywhere else about someone very much in the news. Why this would even be considered for deletion I can't understand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.128.192.3 (talk) 13:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. She is notable for the fact that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She is part of a very important marriage to Dennis Kucinich who is running for President. She has appeared on the Stephen Colbert show. There is no good reason to delete her. Please do not delete her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MosquitoNumber1 (talk •contribs) 16:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Is is just me or is Wiki seemingly more and more like and old boys club? I feel like information is being deleted for personal reasons. This is just another example. I find it difficult to imagine anyone or group of people are unbiased enough to have this power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.8.162 (talk • contribs)
- Keep. At least as notable as Michelle Obama and in the news more frequently of late.--RosicrucianTalk 13:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The argument that there is a lot of other stuff that should be deleted if this one is deleted is valid. GerardM 14:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

- You know, I'd really like us to keep this article but the parade of anonymous IP meatpuppets is just embarrassing.--RosicrucianTalk 15:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Yeah, I've only seen one valid argument here per the policies which is Rosicrucian's. There aren't many independent sources used in the article and nothing that asserts notability beyond the fact that she's DK's wife. I'd say that she's not nearly as notable as Obama's however. Still, that argument doesn't hold weight per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. --Strothra 19:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
-
- Personally I take that more as a sign that the article needs cleanup/improvement in its sourcing than outright deletion. I'm aware of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but I did at least try to compare apples to apples and candidates' wives to candidates' wives.--RosicrucianTalk 20:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Even with the addition of more sources, her notability in those sources is still based on the fact that she's DK's wife, not because of anything that she does. She isn't independently notable. --Strothra 20:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of independent notability. She has failed to inherit her husband's notability, unless we decide to include all Congressional wives. Biruitorul 00:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep She has been written about in several news magazines and has had segments on CBS, Fox, and NBC at least (doing a quick google inquiry). Yes, her notability stems from her husband, but now she is clearly notable as a potential future First Lady.--Appraiser 15:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment a similar article was deleted in July, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of movies broadcast by Nickelodeon

- Delete I understand the argument above, but the problem is they are not under the umbrella of Nickelodeon Original Movies and I've never seen the term referenced in any Nick promo, it isn't a movie series. They aren't even really movies to begin with; the descriptor 'full-length movie' is used in promos, but at best they're extended one-hour episodes. Also note in the article history that this title was redirecting to the channel article for the last five months before an IP suddenly restored it without any previous discussion in the middle of October, then Wikialexdx stretched it out to include any extended Nick show episode and theatrical film (which is under the banner of Nickelodeon Movies) since 1999, absurdely out of the original bounds. This is definitely cruft that got quickly out of control. Nate 05:38, 1 November 2007 (UT
- Keep*I don't get it, if the movies exist, shouldn't we put them all together on one article? Or should we change the Title?--Wikialexdx 10:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep per Jayron and (possibly) Wikialex. I agree with Jay that this meets the WP:LIST guidelines. Regarding the deleted article, it attempted to include every film shown on Nick, including "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and was misleading. By contrast, these films were specifically produced for the popular Nickelodeon network. It's irrelevant that they weren't produced by the same company...they wouldn't have been made at all except for Nick. It's inaccurate to call the TV movies "extended one-hour episodes" of a series. Anyone who has sat, or been forced to sit, through such shows knows that there are no "one hour" episodes; episodes run about 6-8 minutes, while the movies are 90 minutes or more, designed to keep the short-attention span young audience to stay through the commercials. Often, the films are eagerly looked forward to, such as the "All Grown Up" update of Rugrats. Whether you like or hate Nickelodeon, there's no arguing that it's one of the most popular cable networks in the U.S. and the rest of the TV watching world. Mandsford 12:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment We're not Nick's marketing department. The NOM term is not in use on the channel. As for my use of 'one hour episode', I didn't mean in the literal sense, I meant that the plot was extended to fit an hour timeslot with commercials. I understand Nick's influence and all that, but these films are not put under a unified marketing umbrella like DCOMs and are usually just advertised on their own merits. Nate 21:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This is solid information which improves wikipedia, no reason to delete it. --MacGyver07 18:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It's information already found within the Nick Movies article and the individual articles for each film or series, and again the article was redirecting to the channel because it was just listing three different film projects that have their own articles and weren't under a NOM banner. At best there should be a category called Category:Television films produced by Nickelodeon for this information. Nate 21:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)\
- Comment You think that there should be a category, but not a list? You're more of an inclusionist then I am, and I'm pretty bad. A Category presupposes that a separate article should be authored about each Nickelodeon movie. I'm of the opposite view-- delete articles like "Abra-Catastrophe" (or whatever the Oddparents movie was called), and have an article about the films themselves. Mandsford 01:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Byron Coons
Deletion nomination Contested speedy. Was a long resume of a non-notable artist. Resume was moved to the talk page, leaving a stub article of a non-notable artist. Speedy tag was removed, as resume presumably had assertions of notability. However, there is no non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, and thus no notability, regardless of how long the resume is. Jayron32|talk|contribs 03:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: WP is not a place for resumes, no matter how extraordinary they may be. All that stuff would need to be verified with reliable sources and that might help the article. - Rjd0060 03:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete on the basis of being unable to find any secondary references. --SesameballTalk 06:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I had a bash at turning the resume posted by the subject into a proper article - hence the rather unsatisfactory stub. The resume implies some claim of notability in that it lists a lot of exhibitions, and I'm not really qualified to judge their significance, except to note that they're nearly all in quite a small geographical area, implying someone who only has local relevance. Google offered little encouragement. Delete as probably non-notable unless someone can do a better job than me of finding some reliable sources. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 10:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- You are confusing verifiability with notability. She is notable because she has two books published on her retrospectives, and has an autobiography, and appears in a book of American artists.

- Keep. More sources can be found to back up notability of this band, I have removed the advertisement sounding language and personally, I don't think this article had any input from a band member; I think it might have just been a fan, as their username was PaulMcGuirerocks (if that's the editor you're referring to).

- If you have credible external third-party sources that demonstrate that EVO Recordings is "one of the more important indie labels", that is good; if you're merely stating an opinion, that's original research, which doesn't work at Wikipedia. In any case, I wasn't trying to be rude - just asking, if the article could be improved so that it's demonstrably notable, has reliable sources, or is verifiable. Those are minimum criteria, and as people can have good or bad opinions, it's those criteria that we judge the articles by. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's very difficult to judge someone's tone of voice across the internet. I read your tone as coming across rudely but your reply let's me know I have misread it. I have two sources which contain the same content...(a little bizarre...not sure which is the original or which site is considered more reliable) and a third to back-up the importance of the record label, which I shall include here, although they are not much use in the actual article as both sources refer to another band on the EVO Recordings label. Both sources show that the band (Trashlight Vision) is notable, which in turn indicates that their record label, EVO Recordings, is a successful/important indie label. Sources are: [35] and [36]. The source which specifically indicates a level of importance about the label is a story about their website [37] (not sure how reliable either, but it is there).

- Sorry about the tone - most of the time I just try to rush my replies as fast as possible so I can drag myself away from the computer. As for the sources you link above: would it be possible to link them into the article, say as footnotes, instead of posting them to the AfD? To me, when an AfD sees a request to provide sources, it's better if the sources get placed into the article itself - especially as footnotes to claims and assertions in the article. After all, when this AfD is done and gone, the sources should remain with the article to ensure the notability isn't questioned again in the future. Otherwise your work has gone to waste. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 16:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, based entirely on the band's having achieved a four-way-tie in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, which satisfies point 9 under WP:MUSIC for musicians & ensembles. I don't believe Evo is a major indie label. The sources supplied above are press releases--see the bottom of these two: here and here. E-Mail Wire is also for press releases, which eliminates this one, too, per WP:RS. According to WP:MUSIC, the test for a label is longevity (more than a few years) and a stable of notable artists. I don't see any indication at the label's "My Space" page that they can make such a claim. The website they point to, here, doesn't seem to be instructive. In fact, it seems to be controlled by a "domain parking service" which utilizes it as a search engine. However, Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands gets 40,000 hits on Google and claims to be the largest battle of the bands contest in the world. There are plenty of reliable sources about it. (And I did add one more source about the contest to the band's article, since I believe this is their sole current claim to notability.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- comment - Ernie Ball may claim to have the largest battle of the bands contest in the world... but other contests also make that claim (I get spam from them). And if this band's claim to fame is having won an Ernie Ball battle of the bands, why should they not just be mentioned under a Battle of the Bands article? Though, of course, we don't yet have one for the Ernie Ball battle of the bands... AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Well, according to consensus as duly noted by WP:Music, "#9. Has won or placed in a major music competition" is sufficient claim to notability for the band to have an article: :) There seems to be enough out there to presume this is a major music competition. See punktv canada, Premier Guitar Magazine, North Denver News and Gearwire, for example. According to this premium article from "Music Trades", there were 10,000 entrants in the previous year's Battle of the Bands. Over two million people evidently voted in 2002, when the contest was cited as "the world's longest-running and most successful promotion of its kind" here. I've seen the number 13,000 referenced with regards to the one co-won by this band, but this article indicates they only beat 11,996. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- I just want to point out that I did say I didn't know how reliable those sources were. I was just using them as a general indication that their label has made another band successful and that it points to them being a successful indie label. I was angling for this part of criteria 5: "a roster of performers, many of which are notable", although it would be much fairer to say that they don't have a roster of successful bands but more like a handful. Great research btw. Seraphim Whipp 12:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Coble
Delete unsourced article about mayor of mid-sized city, probably could find lots written up in the local rags as would be true of the city council members and heads of the sanitation, public parks, and other departments, but ultimately not notable. Carlossuarez46 00:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Well if he is genuinely a mayor, and it looks like he is, then surely as a senior official of the government (council in the UK), of a fairly big town does not make him notable? scope_creep 01:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:BIO does not allow for the inherent notability of officials below the level of state government, falling back on general notability, but my rule of thumb is that the mayors of cities with population over 100,000 are notable enough.

[edit] Diminished Fifth Records
An independent record label, from the east coast of Canada, which has had 3 releases so far. Their releases have been reviewed, and sources are given in the article. However: does this new, small independent label still count as "notable", just because of a few record reviews? I personally vote delete because the article was originally WP:VSCA written by a WP:SPA, though I've cleaned it up; however, I'm open to have my opinion changed by someone who knows a lot about metal or Canadian east coast labels.

- Keep I'm not Pentecostal, I'm not previously familiar with the ICOF, but I don't see this as a "soapbox" for anything. Problems with point of view and neutrality are something one must be ever mindful of when one is writing about something one considers important. Neutrality problems aside, if the ICOF is as broad as its website asserts, then it's a notable development in the history of the Pentecostal faith. Historically, the individual Pentecostal churches have been vocal about being independent of any organization. Thus, the idea of unification of churches from around the world is an unprecedented development. I think that, if challenged, Bishopicof and other authors could come up with more sources from Christianity Today and other published sources. Suggestion to authors-- quote more directly from the articles that you've cited, link to them if you can, since a major point raised by the deletion advocates is whether the ICOF is notable to persons outside of the Pentecostal faith. Mandsford 12:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I am also not Pentecostal but I am of the Christian faith. The original comment was about notability. Looks like this has been well addressed. Whether or not someone connected with the denomination has collaborated the article is irrelevant. On that basis all news organizations would be eleminated from credibility as their reporters work for them. The point on sharing was obviously not something they were hiding. It is evident that collaboration should be applauded in any article. Seems like the author is learning how to list wikipedia style. The list of people connected with the ICOF is impressive and notable. My brief research shows that Mark Hanby and Teklemarian Gezahange (not sure the spelling is correct) are among the notables who have spoken at their conferences. Both are notable in the Pentecostal movement and newsworthy in itself. The later gentleman, Teklemarian, is the leader of a huge Pentecostal group (some estimate 2 million or more) in Ethiopia. Articles I have read say the group was part of a huge split with another Pentecostal group a couple of years ago. The group is called the Apostolic Church of Ethiopia and has by some counts 2 million members. The ICOF has one of the Nigerian Presidential candidates as a alumni. Not impressive in the US, but huge if you are a Nigerian. Legitimacy does not seem to be the problem. The author may be guilty of being religious, but there must be room on wikipedia for persons of faith just like there is room for faithless persons. There is also no evidence other than comments here that this person is connected to the ICOF, so it may be a leap that this is vanity soapboxing. I agree with Mandsford that neutrality should be aside. This article seems no less opinionated than many on wikipedia. I also agree with Mandsford that the article is very newsworthy as unification efforts of all Christian churches is noteworthy and newsworthy.

- Delete for lack of third party sourcing. There are a number of references listed, to be sure, but they almost all date from before the date of the founding of the movement, as thus refer to the Pentecostal movement in general. The two from later also seem to be general. The rest of it is a presentation of their doctrine and a list of their members. no objection to the writing of an actual sourced article. DGG (talk) 00:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep
Me thinks thou protesteth too much! I appreciate those of you who have helped make this a notible article. At the same time I find other Wikipeidans to be disingenuous (perhaps sockpuppets?). I made no assertions to anything than what I am. I am new to Wikipedia. I also made no reference to being a member of this group (ICOF). All I said was I helped with the article. Without any notability, lots of inference have been made about me. This discussion would not pass the scritiny that that the article has recieved if given the same scritiny.
According to Wikipedia, "A single-purpose account is a user account which appears to be used for edits in one article only, or a small range of often-related articles." I have made no inference that I am a professional in this or any other area. It may be that I only edit articles in this genre. However, I wonder at those who have come to this discussion with obvious agenda's. Some claiming to use the 'Kings English' yet seem unable to read the wikipedia directions for discussions.
"Many Wikipedians are active on a range of articles, while others edit primarily within a small area". - Wikipedia. This represents me, I am not at the level of editing lots of articles.
"It is sometimes the case that Wikipedians of both types promote set agendas by their edits within a particular interest." - Wikipedia. So, you have stated you agenda. Sockpuppets and all.
"Users are cautioned to assume good faith, and to recall that all new users must start off somewhere. Further, many people with expertise in a specific area quite reasonably make contributions within that area alone." - Wikipedia So, SHOW SOME GOOD FAITH, please. I had to start somewhere. I started where I have some expertise.
"There is, of course, nothing inherently wrong with single-purpose accounts. They can even happen when a new user registers simply in order to start a particular article." - Wikipedia
So, bottom line, give me a break. These was never a reason to slur my the article. There are clear Wikipedia guidelines on how to discuss. Whether the article stays or is deleted is irrelevant at this point. What is relevant is that I have learned a lot. I have learned there are good people on Wikipedia and I have learned there are some very self centered people with their own agendas. If the shoe fits... George Rodgers 1:59 November 4, 2007
- Comment It isn't "your" article. Wikipedia articles are not owned by anybody! Mayalld 07:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment A couple of contributions to this discussion have been (appropriately) tagged as {{spa}}. It is entirely legitimate to do this, in order to draw the attention of the closing admin to this (the closing admin will doubtless review the contribution history of these users him/herself). On a few occasions now, this tagging has been removed from the discussion, in an apparent attempt to airbrush the apparent SPA nature of some accounts from the discussion. Whilst we can rely on the closing admin to notice this sharp practice, let those who are trying to manipulate the discussion be in no doubt that their actions are wrong. Mayalld 20:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment George Rodgers, when I read you comments I thought you were taking this all to personal. I thought you were off the mark when talking about sockpuppets but after seeing the responses followed by the personal attack by Mayalld, I must agree with you that all this seems a little too personal.
However, Mayalld is correct that the article belongs to Wikipedia now, assuming that it is not deleted and I think it would be an error to delete the article. It does need some more work but it certainly meets Wikipedia guidelines.
Personally, I would ignore Mayalld. His obvious personal attacks, his violation of published Wikipedia policies are certainly not what he was taugth in Scouting. Now he wants to claim that I have never edited outside of this topic.
By the way, George Rodgers, if the article is deleted then it is yours! kitcarlson —Preceding comment was added at 21:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Actually, the article is still Wikipedia's even if it gets deleted, and will still be licensed under the GFDL. It will just be invisible. And Mayalld has not comitted any personal attacks or violated any policies. Kit, you have not edited anything unrelated to ICOF, as I can plainly see from your contributions. This statement is not meant to belittle or demean you in any way, shape, or form. It is a statement of simple fact, one that any admin will recognize no matter the objections you pose. You can help yourself by assuming a little good faith on behalf of the other contributors to this discussion. Someguy1221 21:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment Thank you for your opinion. It is a shame that Wikipedia does not print your opinion in place of their policies. Accusing an author of vanity soapboxing is contrary to published Wikipedia policy.
You have no idea what I have contributed to Wikipedia and frankly I did not ask for your opinion. Everyone has one. For the record (don't let me confuse you with the facts), I have edited at least 3 other topics just in November!
When you and Mayalld have your next meeting. A review would be good:
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written for the benefit of its readers. It incorporates elements of general encyclopedias, specialized encyclopedias, and almanacs. Wikipedia's three principal content policies are neutral point of view, verifiability, and no original research. Since they complement each other, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three. Cite references from a reliable source, especially on controversial topics, and avoid conflicts of interest. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a vanity publisher, a web directory, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Content that would be appropriate in a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, should instead be contributed to an appropriate Wikimedia sister project.
- Wikipedia is free content that anyone may edit. Articles can be changed by anyone, and no individual owns any specific article. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, do not submit it. All text is available under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) and may be distributed or linked accordingly. Do not submit anything that infringes copyright, or that is licensed incompatibly with the GFDL.
- Wikipedia works by building consensus. Consensus decision-making is an inherent part of the wiki process. Wikipedia is a living encyclopedia, so consensus can change. The primary method of determining consensus is discussion, not voting. Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy, anarchy or any other political system. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in testing for consensus, polls or surveys may actually impede rather than assist discussion, and should be used with caution, if at all.
- Wikipedia has a code of conduct. Act in good faith, and assume others are acting in good faith too. Be open and welcoming. Be polite and civil. Respect your fellow Wikipedians even if you disagree with them. Avoid making personal attacks or sweeping generalizations. Never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Avoid edit wars. Follow the three-revert rule. When a conflict arises, follow dispute resolution. And remember that there are 2,077,345 articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss.
- Wikipedia does not have firm rules besides the five principles outlined here. Be bold in editing, moving, and modifying articles, because perfection is a goal and not a requirement. As all previous versions of articles are kept, content won't be irrevocably destroyed by an editor's mistake. So don't worry about messing up.

- Delete OR and POV. Who gets to define this concept? What are the objective criteria?Doczilla 07:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete This fails Wikipedia:No original research and there are no objective criteria to define it. There are currently no third-party sources that assert that this exists as a genre, and nothing verifiable. Few google hits besides the Wikipedia page:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=GjC&q=%22Fish+out+of+water+comedy+film%22&btnG=Search&meta= so it's probably safe to say this fails the search engine test. Interesting nonetheless, but WP:ILIKEIT is not an argument to keep it. However, I have no prejudice against userfying the article if the result of the debate is to delete. It is an indiscriminate list lacking third-party sourcing, and reliable sources for that matter. Such an essay on this is (presumably) better off transwikied to Wikibooks as a textbook, rather than here. That's my 0.02 cents on it. --Solumeiras talk 10:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep in order to shut up anyone who wants to start crying "snowball". You probably should userfy this one, since it appears the result will be to delete. The theme of the "fish out of water" is a common one, not just in film, but in literature (e.g., Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper). Everyone's yelling "original research" at ya, and at the moment, they're correct. However, there are plenty of sources you can refer to in order to supplement your own recognition of a f.o.o.w. theme. Copy this to your user page, then start by googling "fish out of water" (including books and magazine articles). Bring it back up when you're confident that it's got the necessary underpinning. You've got the makings of a good article. Mandsford 12:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete or userfy, but allow recreation. I agree with Mandsford that the trope is notable, but the division into categories and the specific examples do seem to be unsalvageable original research, and the article will probably need rewriting from scratch. EALacey 17:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Allen Mukes
Looking at his IMDb resume, I think this guy is on the edge of notability. My casual search didn't find WP:RS or WP:V sources so I think probably no but others may think differently. Pigman 19:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Per nom, on the edge of notability (small role in House of 1000 Corpses) but there's not enough independent sources to sustain a bio at this time.--Sethacus 19:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. He has many roles on IMBD, and his rating is above the 20,000, which means he does have notability. However, the article is too vague, and needs serious editing.--TGreenburgPR
- Delete Not notable unless he was well known in the film community for his movies.Mbisanz 02:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Notable per many roles and 772 Ghits [38], but this violates WP:BLP as not having sufficient sourcing. Rescue? Bearian 17:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Obviously the article needs work, but someone with an IMDB resume like that is plainly encyclopedic. Kestenbaum 01:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - according to his website, he played professional basketball in the US and Europe - if this can be verified, he would be notable for that. Hal peridol 03:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geopedia
This entry was written by the author of the project Geopedia (Grega Milčinski - see: [[39]]), unsorced and against NPOV and fails WP:WEB, so I suggest to delete or improve by any other editor. The service is written in Slovenian language and deserves the article in slovenian part of WP. --Francl 12:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - since the US dominates internet content, should there be some consideration for smaller countries like Slovenia?--Esprit15d 14:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep. It's true that the service is in slovenian language and the area of intereset is Slovenia undoubtedly, but the technology used, is useful all around the globe. Maybe someone who has neutral point of view should write about the service (not the project manager). But it's true that Geopedia has very small amount of hits (1400 on Google English pages) and in spite of technical excelency is the "Causa Slovena". --MaNeMeBasat 15:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete - WP:WEB. Little content. Tiptoety 01:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Neither the article here nor on sl: suggests much of wide use or notability (beyond being "the first interactive atlas of Slovenia"). Being based on Wikipedia is not automatic guarantee for success or longevity of a web project. en: should wait until sl: version collects more encyclopedical contents and somebody translates it here.
