Greater Yugoslavia

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

Unverifiable original research - the article title doesn't seem to exist as a notable concept in the real world; at best, merge the late 1940s synthesized factoids into History of Yugoslavia. WP:PROD declined by author without any explanation and in a minor edit. Sigh. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:46, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article title does exist as a notable concept in the real world - see the books link above which contain many references to it as a larger Yugoslavia incorporating Albania and Bulgaria. Warden (talk) 08:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Where do you see the notability of the concept? I see it mentioned as "discussion of a greater Yugoslavia" in the first hit, but it's "1991, Croatia and Slovenia seceded from the greater Yugoslavia" and "1990, the Slovene people voted in a plebiscite to separate from greater Yugoslavia" in the second and third hit. That's not the same concept, it's just talking about SFRY. The fourth and fifth hit say "Tito's old dream of a greater Yugoslavia". That's the same concept, but it's both used as a phrase and in reference to a dream. A concept is not automagically encyclopedically notable by being mentioned in passing by a lot of people - secondary sources discussing the specific dream are necessary to demonstrate its standalone notability. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It may be a good idea to merge the relevant details of this article into Yugoslavism which already deals with the doctrines of Yugoslav nationalism (notice the pipe). This article exists in Croatian too but on neither page is there a single source and I can personally find nothing on the search engines. The merge will be most amicable. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 11:23, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About article at Croatian Wikipedia, it was writen by me, more correctly, translated by me. I wasn't considering it's notability. I wanted to nominate this article for deletation there month ago, but I was banned. Just don't take Croatian article "Velika Jugoslavia" in consideretion while discussion deletation of this one. --Wusten fuchs 20:07, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and properly source. It's a notable concept and one with history behind it, but it does need sourcing. Night Ranger (talk) 17:35, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(additional comment) Here are some references (books and news searches) I found discussing "Greater Yugoslavia":

*[1]

*[2]

Please remember that to prove a topic notable sources must exist, not necessarily be present in the article (although that does help). AFD is not for cleanup. Night Ranger (talk) 17:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Yes the concept is notable, every editor on Yugoslav-related topics knows that. But the question is whether Greater Yugoslavia is that true notion. For example, the only way a unifying ideology can exist is if there is interest (albeit small numbers) from every party purported to be affected. We all know there are loyal Yugoslavs in the six former republics but what about Bulgaria? I have never encountered a Bulgarian to consider himself or his nation Yugoslav. If this is wrong, then we need names of the proponents among the Bulgarian nation who wishes to see Bulgaria part of the south Slavic state. They use the term yuzhni slaviyani (south Slavs) to include themselves within an umbrella group but never Yugoslavs per se. The actual concept which aimed to unify Bulgaria and Yugoslavia alongside other states was the Balkan Federation and I fear the original editor may have crossed wires. The ideas behind a Balkan federation was precisely that each unit functioned autonomously with a central administration holding ceremonial status. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:37, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You've only posted generic google searches that are already linked above and one of which is also debunked above. The threshold of notability certainly isn't "it can be googled" - that's even worse than WP:ITEXISTS. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please... you're really not this dense. My argument clearly is not that "it can be googled", but that a large number of reliable sources discuss this topic. Differentiating between a Google search that lists the reliable sources and copy/pasting those same sources here is pedantic. If you think all of the Reliable Sources I've found using a simple Google search are dubious, forgeries or otherwise unreliable, please explain. Otherwise, I've provided reliable sources and now it's up to the deletionists to explain why the sources aren't acceptable. Debunking one of them doesn't wipe the lot. The definition of WP:N is coverage in multiple, reliable, third-party sources, and I've provided a multitude. Night Ranger (talk) 20:36, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But you have not demonstrated a single clear example of significant coverage of this concept in any particular book - surely if you believe there's a multitude, one or two can be cited as a trivial example. As it is now, for all we know, they could all be talking about it in a tangential manner, and most of them could be using the phrase in a generic manner. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:56, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a news article [3], specifically:

According to Tomic, the Ravna Gora movement advocated the idea of ‘a Greater Serbia within Greater Yugoslavia’. Greater Yugoslavia would comprise parts of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Italy and Albania and would be a federal state. It would comprise a Greater Serbia, a rump Croatia and a Greater Slovenia. Serbia and Southern Serbia (Macedonia and Kosovo) would be parts of Greater Serbia in the east and southeast. Bulgarian cities of Vidin and Custendil were to be annexed to it. Its southern territories would comprise Montenegro, Herzegovina and northern Albania. In the west, it would include Bosnia, western Dalmatia, Serb-inhabited parts of Lika, Kordun and Banija and a part of Slavonia. The Dalmatian coast from Sibenik to Montenegro would belong to Serbia too.

Some other news stories [4], [5] (Tito, the Balkan visionary who struggled for the creation of a "Greater Yugoslavia" that would include Albania, Bulgaria and Greece...), [6] (under heading "Carinthia"), [7] (After World War II Yugoslavia and Bulgaria wanted to establish a Greater Yugoslavia but it failed because Bulgaria proposed that the two states should form a new federal republic, while Yugoslavia wanted Bulgaria as the seventh member state). Night Ranger (talk) 05:01, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I clicked through all of them, and they all seem somewhat tangential - for example the university professor's testimony at the ICTY is good, but it's primarily about Greater Serbia, which is a separate topic. The 1987 Toronto Star article seems specifically about this since it talks about it in the preface, but that one is actually marked as "Section: LETTER". Doesn't that mean that it was actually a reader's letter? Besides, since we're dealing with history here, I think a reasonable standard of significant coverage would be at least a secondary source from the said field, rather than news talk. By this measure, we could have separate articles about a lot of ideas discussed in politics daily. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:51, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article should be deleted since there is no serious literature (or any literature) that deals with this subject. Such concept doesn't exist, it is made up by creator of this article. Map is also false. This article serves to the purpose of ridiculing Wikipedia. --Wusten fuchs 19:53, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google finds about 876 books discussing Greater Yugoslavia. Night Ranger (talk) 20:42, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google finds about 876 books mentioning Greater Yugoslavia in different context. --Wusten fuchs 23:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See above. Night Ranger (talk) 05:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To all, doesn't Balkan Federation cover everything? Can it not be added that this was also an irredentist goal for Greater Yugoslav proponents? Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 11:41, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That would probably be fine and allow that article to expand as well. If we don't have enough for a stand alone article we certainly have enough for a section in that article on Greater Yugoslavia. Night Ranger (talk) 13:42, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you do that, then cite the books you have found - or some of them if there are too many. The best course of action to take then will be not to delete Greater Yugoslavia but to redirect it to Balkan Federation. You can display "also Greater Yugoslavia" close to the bold headword. Can a consensus be reached for this? Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:26, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(note to closing admin) if this is closed as delete can you please userfy the article to my userspace so I can rework it into the Balkan Federation article with the references found? Night Ranger (talk) 04:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Balkan Federation#After Comintern period looks like a match. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:39, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Full agreement to above. The part is very small and could do with a good paragraph extra within the same article, and there we have interest from Georgi Dimitrov which is something if not anything from the other side. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 04:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of largest European law firms 2009

Keep and Rename to List of largest law firms in continental Europe. Useful, encyclopedic, informative. Northamerica1000^(talk) 07:59, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have now been able to access the source, it is not clear what countries they have used, save they have excluded the UK so think the more accurate title should be List of largest law firms in Europe (excluding UK) (2009). Mt king ^(edits) 23:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The UK is the only European country not part of the continent of Europe though. So the suggested List of largest law firms in continental Europe makes sense. Dream Focus 05:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Republic of Ireland ? Mt king ^(edits) 06:24, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have it nation by nation then. That'd make more sense. Or just nations that have enough entries, like the UK, get their own separate list, with everyone else here. Dream Focus 08:46, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The list is taken from a single source that is "Europe (excluding UK)" so unless new sourcing can be found List of largest law firms in Europe (excluding UK) (2009) is the best name for the source. Mt king ^(edits) 10:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets all requirements for a list article. If you were looking for information about law firms, you'd want to find out which were the largest. Some of them have their own articles already. Dream Focus 05:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion - but I'd point out that "a small club with just 500 members in one country" also describes the Australian Federal Parliament. Size is not an indicator of notability. Particularly large bike clubs (and this is a reasonably large one) normally generate sufficient coverage to pass the GNG. I can't immediately find any coverage for THIS group in reliable sources but there is a very large amount of coverage in non-reliable sources (blogs etc) and given the language issue it would benefit from a few more people taking the time to look. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:28, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I am neither a bike rider nor a member of this organization, but I can confirm that the group is notable from a Norwegian perspective and that it is significant in the way that it distiguishes itself from other biker organizations in northern Europe.

Delete. This is a run of the mill biker ministry. How many pages are we going to have based on one or two 200-word local newspaper clippings that say "Wow! They dress in biker leathers AND they're Christians?!" There are a lot of motorcycle ministries. The perennial news coverage about them is quite rote. Wikipedia does not need an article about each of them. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:42, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This AfD is just about this article, not other articles or the hypothetical creation of other articles. Article inclusion is based upon topic notability, not overall assessments of the types of articles that Wikipedia should or shouldn't have. Also, refer to Wiki is not paper. —Northamerica1000^(talk) 03:19, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's incorrect. One outcome of an AfD discussion, besides keep or delete, is merge. The question of whether to merge or not can't be considered without taking into account other articles. By definition, a merge involves other articles. I'm not saying this should be merged, but creating an single article out of these repetitive, run of the mill motorcycle ministry articles would that would be better than keeping this one. And we do need to stop and think if it is logical to have five or ten or 100 articles that all say, "the Blank for Christ/for Jesus/for God MC is special for being bikers who spread the gospel." Can they all be special?
The fact is that bikers drink a lot, do a lot of drugs, and flout the law. Ergo, they become addicts and generally mess up their lives. Ergo, they become fodder for recovering addict motorcycle clubs and/or religion-based motorcycle clubs. There's a lot of them and they're more or less all the same. The news stories about them all have the same hook. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gangster

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

What we have here is a dictionary definition, which is unnecessary since we already have Gangster. The rest of the content simply repeats what can already be found at the respective individuals' articles or the American Mafia article. ~~Delete this and move Gangster (disambiguation) here.~~ RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 19:42, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Replicates a host of articles. ScottyBerg (talk) 19:48, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article should be kept as a WP:DABCONCEPT. To put this in perspective, the article receives a staggering 20,000 page views a month and has hundreds of articles linked to it. It is also clear that these people are not searching for items on the dab page as this page gets less than 600 views a month. Simply deleting this page and replacing it with a dab would be extremely ill-considered. The topic of gangster is a notable one, and definitely much more than a dictionary definition. Yes, the current page doesn't do the topic justice, but deletion is not the way to approach it. France3470 (talk) 23:50, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as valid link target (i.e., not a dab page). Whether it remains its own article (as is, expanded, or rewritten) or redirects to American Mafia or other page is a separate question. -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, scratch the suggestion that the dab page be moved. Leave it as a link target, but the repetitive content should go. As I said before, what we have here is a dictionary definition, more specific information should (and already is) elsewhere. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 05:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article at present is very poor, entirely about the USA and entirely trivial. But organized crime just gives a theoretical treatment of the subject. Presumably our readers want a good meaty overview with plenty of links to Scarface and Chotta Mumbai, Sicilian Mafia, Chechen mafia, Yakuza, Tongs and so on. A huge subject with masses of sources. It just needs someone, not me but someone else, to expand it to book length. A notable subject. I may add a few headings. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:56, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What you just did was add a bunch of garbage you picked up from other articles. How was that helpful? This is precisely why I believe the article should be deleted, because it is an undifferentiated dumping ground of repetitive information. Discussion of gangs should be in the articles about those gangs; discussion of specific gangsters should be in the articles about those gangsters. Once that is done, there is nothing here but a dictionary definition. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 05:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What I added (and you undid, and I put back) was a collection of links to articles for which short summaries could be included in this article. A reader who searches for "gangster" almost certainly wants an article about gangsters, with summary-style information on the most notorious. It should also give summary-style information on famous gangs like the Mafia and Tongs. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:15, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it should not have any of that information, that is why we have separate articles on those different gangs and individuals, as well as more general articles on the Mafia and organized crime. You want to turn this article into a dumping ground for repetitive information already covered elsewhere in more appropriate places. Your edits simply make no sense. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 16:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what to make of the AfD and I'm certainly leaning keep. But the recent changes have turned a minor problem into a complete mess that only looks good because it has fifty references. There's absolutely no benefit in artificially piecing together bits from articles here and there: this is why we have internal links. The duplicated content will just be left to rot or will basically require twice the maintenance effort, all for the sake of not deleting Gangster. I understand the concern of RepublicanJacobite although I don't think the solution is deletion. But between deletion and what we have now? I prefer deletion. Pichpich (talk) 23:35, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A summary-style article on a broad subject such as "solar system" or "mammal" is useful, giving an overview and leading readers who want more information to more detailed articles on specific topics. The summary often provides bridging information that is not found in the "child" articles. Much of the content in this overview does not exist in other articles. Some does. Where there is overlap, there is a risk of forking in coverage of areas that are still evolving. But reader interest is, to me, a trumping argument. If 10,000 readers look up the subject in Wikipedia each month, we should give them some information, and there is no obvious redirect. Not gang and not organized crime. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The end result is a pseudo-article that doesn't even resolve the last problem you note. It initially pretends to carefully distinguish gangs and gangsters from organize crime yet ends up siding with the basic view that modern usage is that a gangster is a member of a criminal organization. So a two-line sentence that would point the reader to either organized crime or gang is just as good. Your mashup contains a list of notorious gangsters which, as far as I can tell, is chosen quite arbitrarily and completely Western-world oriented. (Along the same lines, the sentence The United States has profoundly influenced the genre, but other cultures have contributed distinctive and often excellent gangster movies. absolutely has to go.) The whole "Regional variants" section does not even discuss gangsters but organized crime so why should it be duplicated here? And why is the Albanian Mafia more deserving of a paragraph than the Serbian Mafia or the motorcycle gangs that have at times dominated Scandinavian countries? Isn't India worth discussing in the Asia section? True, gangster gets 10000 page views (I would guess that a significant portion of these are through internal links by the way) but that doesn't mean that the best solution is to provide the relevant information under this title. That's what redirects are for. You cite mammal as an example but that article contains topic-specific content and is most definitely not an "overview and leading readers who want more information to more detailed articles on specific topics. It doesn't contain a list of notorious mammals. Ditto solar system. There's a beautifully crafted article on organized crime. We should be sending our readers there instead of providing them with an inferior article. Pichpich (talk) 15:17, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A simple answer is that there is a huge literature on the subject, hundreds of articles link to the title and page views run at around 25,000 monthly. The subject is highly notable and of great interest, so deletion is not a reasonable option... Aymatth2 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is different from both "organized crime" and "gang". The well-written article on "organized crime" is a theoretical discussion of psychology, structure, activities and so on. The article on "gang" also aspires to give an abstract discussion of the different types of gang. This article links to those two but largely avoids theory and describes real-life gangs and gangsters around the world, and their depiction in the arts. It is about specific instances, which is (I think) that most people will be looking for. I prefer to keep the specific separate from the abstract... Aymatth2 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is this a mash-up? Less than it should be. Ideally every paragraph would point to a {{main}} article, and would be much the same as the lead to that article. But the "child" articles, where they existed, often had poor leads and poor sourcing, so this contains more new content than it should have to. But maintenance is not a concern since almost all the content is historical. The section on Al Capone is unlikely to need updating... Aymatth2 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is plenty of room for improvement. I have tried to make a start, but it is a huge subject. The overview of regional variants has large gaps, and the list of notorious gangsters is almost entirely from the USA 1930-1960. The section on movies is quite incomplete, and there is nothing on other media... Aymatth2 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A minor point: I would defend the statement "The United States has profoundly influenced the [gangster movie] genre". See the first sentence in the next section, based on a thoughtful source. Although the first gangster movie was Australian, the USA has had great influence. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there was extensive, well source discussion of the abbreviation, then it would qualify, but just because a term exists does not mean that there is much to be said encyclopedically about it. If it's a term that's in clear use, you can see about putting it in Wiktionary.

Nova Scotia Barristers' Society

Self organisation for lawyers. This two liner article states nothing what makes them notable. On internet just over *19.000 hits (including own website and members) and 3 on Google News. Night of the Big Wind _talk 18:17, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as author). As a Bar, the organization impacts everything lawyers do in the province, from letting them practice (the famous Bar exam) to removing their ability to do so, setting the cadre and guidelines on professional conduct, etc. As such, I believe it is inherently notable, much like a court system would be. Yes, it's a stub, and I don't have time nor the interest to research the matter and to make a more complete article out of it. I have provided two news references where the Bar is mentioned prominently. Regardless of my view that the Society is inherently notable as the statutory body for NS lawyers, if the CBC, CTV, the The Chronicle Herald and other media outlets think the NSBS is worthy enough to make the news, it passes WP:GNG. I have only researched in some specific media outlets, but I'm sure with more focused research one could come up with more evidence of notability. Best regards.

Keep but a comment - I think that this is probably notable for a number of reasons, but it's not notable simply because it is inherently so (bar associations are not the same as the licensing bar, depending on the jurisdiction; I don't know how Canada works, but in the U.S. most bar associations are private organizations that licensed attorneys ("members of the bar") may or may not be required to join, and there's nothing inherently notable about that), nor is it not because it simply doesn't have a lot of google hits. AfD needs to be based around WP:N, not ghit counts. It's not a speedy keep either. We have specific criteria for speedy keeping and many of them imply some bad faith in the nomination.

Merge and redirect to Mongolia–Russia relations. At present the sources have not been shown to meet WP:GNG. However, there is another consideration. Not everything that could be notable is better off with its own page. When, as here, there is not a great deal to say then a merge is better for the reader because the information can be read in context. What the suggested target needs is a 'Diplomatic missions' section with significantly more on the missions than is there at present. Naturally, if that section becomes too large through organic growth then a breakout might be appropriate in the future. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:33, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the author of the article: I understand your concern, Calvin, however Ross has mixed a UK top 10 single and engineered (not just assisting) 3 platinum albums (whether in their entirety or selected songs), specifically 2 platinum albums from N Dubz and 1 double platinum album from Westlife. He has engineered #1 single from Dappy (No Regrets) and its follow up, Rockstar, which is likely to be a top10 (or another number1) when will be released after Christmas. In general I don't think engineers and mixers should be dismissed as not relevant, because they are vital personell in the recording process.

Speedy Keep per errant nomination rationale. With respects to the nominator, topic notability is dependent upon the topic being covered in relaible sources, and NOT upon whether or not an article on that topic contains those sources. We do not delete articles on demonstrably notable topics simply because their current state lacks use of available sources. We instead look first to see if sources are available, and only then judge whether or not concerns are addressable. That said, and with appreciations to User:Arxiloxos, it was easy to determine that this topic has the required siginificant coverage as is veriably unique in its being the very first Andy Panda cartoon ever.

Keep or merge, but into Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The article already contains evidence of significant coverage in several reliable sources, enough to meet WP:GNG. The song is apparently considered by the cited authorities as a key item in Johnny Cash's repertoire. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has inspired a number of films, books, and songs, so if this should be redirected anywhere, it should be redirected and merged with that article rather than to a specific album. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hinterlands of Khuresh

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

My primary concern is the fact that this article lacks any sources whatsoever (since 2007!). Furthermore the subject of the article fails to fulfil the Notability requirements, more specifically WP:NRVE. Another policy that also applies is WP:NOTMANUAL (Wikipedia is not a sourcebook for a fictional setting). The subject is largely unimportant for the fictional setting itself, not being one of the major fictional political factions. The subject is already mentioned in a short and proper fashion in the article Races and nations of Warhammer Fantasy#The North, East, and South and that should be more than enough. This article is IMHO just another example of WP:Fancruft. Thank you for your attention. Flamarande (talk) 14:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No sources let alone secondary sources (and thus fails to meet WP:GNG), and much of the text smacks of WP:OR. Sure, I might draw the same conclusions about the inspiration and history of the Hinterlands, but that's OR; do any secondary sources make these observations?

Comment - Again, WP:GAMEGUIDE is invoked inappropriately by a nom for a gaming AfD; nothing in this article or the last Warhammer setting book AfD resembles a how-to guide for the game. Just because someone writes about a game doesn't make it a gameguide; inasmuch as fictional settings are written about for a game (and meet the notability guidelines), they can be in wikipedia just as much as Middle-earth, Pern, etc. - Sangrolu (talk) 13:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's more of a notable distributor. It purchased the last vinyl in print of David Tudor (from Lovely Music) and distributed around the mid-Atlantic. It supplies a lot of record stores with discs covering the history of electronic, musique concrete and new wave.

Santhosh_Pandit

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

Proposing this article for deletion for the following reasons:

WP:BLP1E. Biography of a living person. Subject notable only for one event. An extract of the policy: "Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article."
The 'event' that makes this person notable is an amateur film, produced, written, directed and acted-in by the very person who himself leased theatres to screen it as well.
The film was not noted for its artistic value, nor for its technical excellence, nor for its commercial success, but for its amateurishness, lack of artistic value, and the number of technical errors,^[1] and the way such a product was celebrated by the youth (storming the theatres with oaths and abuses^[2]).

Of-course 'the subject' is substance for news, and the article is well written too. But 'the subject' does not fit into the criterion to be included in an encyclopedia, and particularly Wikipedia.

Note that the article was deleted atleast twice before (1st deletion, 2nd deletion) and then recreated. And please note that the grounds of previous deletions were different (WP:FILMMAKER, WP:Reliable sources, and WP:Notability (people)) from the ones raised now. This means that probably the issues raised earlier might stand corrected in the present article but the issues now raised were never addressed.

Keep - The person has enough notability now. --Sreejith K (talk) 14:19, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Wikipedia is not a judge of quality or morality. Its job is to state what is factual and to provide factual and unprejudiced information sought by people wanting to know about a particular topic/subject or person. The person on which this article is created has arisen to such level in terms of noteworthiness by now. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 14:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:BLP1E. Austria156 (talk) 15:06, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Wikipedia need not look into the artistic merits of the movie. The fact is that the person is having widespread media coverage now and the kind of coverage is such that it does not seem like he will remain a low profile individual. The very fact that he was able to make an amateur film and get a theater release for that might make him a historically significant person in the context of Malayalam cinema - this is not a common thing in Malayalam film industry. Also, he is in the process of making further movies and it will be foolish to assume that they will go unnoticed by the media. Thus the contention that the person is a onetime wonder with no long-term notability is questionable -- Raziman T V (talk) 15:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Santhosh Pandit notable enough in Kerala and Malayalam film industry. He is not famous because of one event. His Youtube videos are very well watched and his first film is hit in Malayalam film industry. Wikipedia shouldn't check the quality of the film or the personality of a person. He is going to produce more films --Anoopan (talk) 15:48, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per comments above. --Axel™ (talk) 16:00, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Previous nomination for deletion was before his movie release which is the major event that gave him the notability. He is the major player in that major event which gives him notability. The fact that the event is major is evident from:

He tops all celebrated Malayalam movie stars (like Mohanlal and Mammootty) in Google searches for more than a month: http://www.google.co.in/trends?q=santhosh+pandit%2C+mohanlal%2C+mammootty&date=mtd&sort=0 (that too for a wide margin)
All major newspapers and channels covered him widely and specifically. Examples:
1. Asianet News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd-Tm8Ex3Xw
2. Manorama Channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzdnVkXefv0

Notability in the movie industry is not a reason for deletion. Being infamous is also not a reason for deletion. Wikipedia hosts entries for Al Capone, Hitler and Nathuram Godse as well. --Cibu (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Sufficient number of references available in the article. The shooting of his second film is in progress also. Expect this to be the last proposal to delete this article.

Keep - The point 3 is not valid as even if the quality of the movie is considered, there are other points such as the business moves he made which is an eye opener to the industry which he works in. Showing the youngsters that determination and right moves can help the industry, while the veterans in the industry keeps blaming each other for the lack of quality theaters or limitations posed by the standards of exhibitors, itself is a reason to be included in wikipedia at least as a case study for the future. 27 November 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.230.17.115 (talk) 06:38, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He has made a film that is all. To list in wiki somebody should achieve something. Why he has to be listed here??. Any informative purpose??.

Comment: Pandits movie is mainly aimed for teenagers between the age groups 10-16. These thugs are mainly going to the theatres for howling and partying purpose only. They want the movie in such a way so that they howl as loud as they can and Pandit acknowledges all these abuses with a warm smile. He knows this technique that is the key of his notability.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.12.156.218 (talk)

Request for more time: From the initiator of the AfD: May I request the administrator who would review this discussion to please give some more time for the discussion, just one more week.

For notability reasons, I'm proposing this article for deletion. The news coverage is anecdotal and is mainly about their facebook page. I feel like this is highly promotional and this group doesn't really do anything. 완젬스 (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep/undecided. I'm sort of ambivalent about the material. I can definitely see where you're coming from, but I think it'd be a little hasty to completely delete this. WP:CRYSTAL works both ways- we don't know if it'll become more notable and get more sources, but then we can't know that it won't since it's still relatively new. If it is deleted then it might be worth userfying the material as well as redirecting the term to OWS, to be separated once the editor has more sources.

Keep . I see no cogent argument for the deletion of an article explaining the factual existence of a organization that indubitably exists. It has an active following close to 20,000 individual people and is not of negligible size which is the ONLY cogent argument against this articles existence.

OccupyMarines has been more effective with organization within the movement than the original OWS core that originally began the movement in Manhattan, New York. The groups was instrumental in the identification of the ESU Scott Bergstresser, the officer responsible for shooting Veteran Scott Olsen and throwing a grenade into a group of seven to 10 demonstrators in Oakland, California. This group has worked with 'occupy' groups in organization, especially in networking with other 'occupy' groups nationwide. The group is responsible for organizing, implementing, and guiding the development of other 'occupy' military groups such as Army, Navy, and Air force. The groups holds facebook and twitter accounts, and maintains a website that engages the movement offering inspiration, information regarding national/international politics, information on other events occurring within occupy groups across America and internationally which are largely invisible considering the heavily censored mainstream media such as Fox News and CNN. Those ignorant to what the group as actually accomplished within such short period of time should refrain from using big words and spend more time actually becoming well informed. This site should honor the response and the sacrifice the group has endured throughout the movement and its development. This site should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OccupyMARINES (talk • contribs) 10:31, 24 November 2011 (UTC) — OccupyMARINES (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

We were asked today by a Naysayer to explain what OccupyMARINES are doing for OWS. We replied with a more accurate question to ask is what OccupyMARINES are not doing. OccupyMARINES are not sitting on our asses watching the 1% rip out the heart of America.America Dialed 911 and We Stood Up, We Answered America’s Call.We Have watched since September 17th this wondrous event unfold. We watched as this small demonstration took hold of the world and we quickly understood that they are not going away. So we listened more.We listened to the demonstrators, we listened to the public respond and observed how quickly divided Americans’ were becoming. How these knucklehead Naysayers, day after day discredit what OWS is doing. Well Nay-Sayers OccupyMARINES have a message for you. Continue sitting on your asses while the 1% laugh at you, lie to you, tell you to shut your soup coolers and mind your own business. Go ahead and quibble Naysayers while MARINES once again stand up for the future of America. And when the day comes, when OWS hits history books across the world, and we alongside them; that day when someone asks you if you were there Nay-Sayers you are going to say: “No, I was to scared, I did not have the balls to fight for my country. I did not have the courage to confront the problems eroding America.”“But I did feel confident enough to attack those brave souls that did stand up for America. I did fight to disregard their message.” Tell Them that when asked Naysayers, afterwards, return to your life remembering that you are insignificant to history.

~~Undecided for the moment~~ -- Keep. This article needs more names. Right now, it looks like a couple of former Marines (or two of the rare "ex-Marines") with a web page and facebook and twitter accounts. One of them left with an administrative discharge. The other is suspected of embellishing his military record to imply he had seen combat. That doesn't mean it's not notable, but we need more names for this to qualify as notable. -- Randy2063 (talk) 19:09, 24 November 2011 (UTC) Amended to Keep.

No you misrepresent the article - as can be seen it describes an event involving a marine but then moves on to "The group Occupy Marines says...".

Comment. This AfD has nothing to do with silencing anyone or supporting any sort of regime. Lately there have been a lot of groups adding OWS themed pages to Wikipedia. Some have had enough coverage to warrant a page. Some have not. While I believe that OM could potentially get this and that it's a little too soon to delete the page, I do not believe that anyone nominated this in bad faith. Not everything is a conspiracy, so please do not throw about accusations along the lines of "what are they afraid of?". It does not accomplish anything, nor does it show proof as to why this page should remain. AfD do not work that way. Also, the argument "other stuff exists" does not count as an argument to keep the page. Saying that you find an article or page helpful does not count as a vote in its favor either. (See WP:ITSUSEFUL.) I do want to commend people for their passion about the subject, but also be aware that deletion discussions are not decided on a vote. Coming onto Wikipedia just to comment on this deletion discussion will not accomplish much unless you can back it up with valid reasons to keep it that are covered under the general notability guidelines. (WP:GNG) I've seen it happen where there's been more "keep" statements than "delete" ones, but an article was still deleted because the "keep" statements could not give valid reasons to keep the article. I'm not trying to be incendiary, just making sure that everyone coming on here knows how AfD works. I notice that there's a lot of new faces. Again, the proposed deletion of the page was not done to silence anyone and believe it or not, most of the OWS themed groups that have come up for deletion have actually survived the process because of people chipping in to prove notability enough to warrant saving it, so it's not like Wikipedia itself is trying to silence anyone or can't handle political events. Please be careful about how you phrase your arguments because just coming on and making statements like that will not accomplish anything as far as AfD goes.

Well regarding quality of arguments it's a shame you didn't intervene earlier to warn the editor above who was just throwing out his own political biases and judgements of the group while I was simply providing valid sources showing notability. Also if you actually look at the talk page of the editor who proposed deletion it does seem to show a gripe against Occupy so I'm not sure why you're so blindly defending Wikipedia procedures. EverSince (talk) 09:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree entirely that the page SHOULD NOT be deleted. If Wikipedia wants to assure fair and equal distribution of informative and valid information, then leaving it up would do JUST that. If not for the OccupyMarines wikipedia page, THIS Iraq war veteran (serving 2 years in Baghdad and 6 months in Kandahar) would not have found information on fellow vets supporting the movement. IF this website wants to continue with a reputation of enlightening the masses then I would suggest you take a close look at how their support is growing through its FB page and thru a simple google of the Occupy Marines movement. Otherwise, you are all just as bad if not WORSE than the pathetic political leaders that are screwing you and all your future unborn childrens lives over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngryUScitizen76 (talk • contribs) 09:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you would look above, you'd notice that I was the first to suggest that this should be kept. The problem with a lot of the OWS fringe pages is that there's been a rush to include every group that forms. While it's great that people are forming to voice their opinions, Wikipedia is not a soap box and in order to remain on here the page needs to have reliable sources. This is the way it's always been on Wikipedia and again, these policies have actually saved a good chunk of the more well sourced fringe OWS groups out there. (Like I said, many of the Occupy pages usually pass AfD because eventually people find sources.) Again, Wikipedia is not a soap box and it's not a place to advertise for various groups. I just wish that people would turn this energy out towards finding sources for this article. It is not a suppression of opinions, especially since the original article creator has the option to userfy the article, meaning that he or she could keep it on their user page and work on it until it has enough sources to pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If one of the people coming on here to voice their opinion wants to do this in place of the article creator, I have no problem with that. The issue is that no matter how noble a group's intention are or how vocal its supporters are, it still has to follow the same notability guidelines that every other article has to pass to get an article on here. Much like OWS protesters say that certain groups don't deserve special treatment, we believe the same thing: no group should get special treatment and everyone should have to follow the rules of Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

I feel that the protection of free speech and the political neutrality of WP is more important than the few bits this entry takes up.

Somebody asked, "Why delete this?" It's a good question. Look at the article itself. There are only two names associated with it, Scott Olsen and Shamar Thomas. And yet this article doesn't even specifically say that they're members. We can only infer that they are. Somebody needs to clear that up ASAP.

There are plenty of organizations that don't get WP articles about them. I can think of one in particular that is also on WP's spam list, which means we can't even cite them as references or external links.

If you want to keep this article, and they're a noteworthy organization, then please put some of your efforts into turning the article itself into more than an advertisement for a fringe website that will be gone after the fringe moves on. Find sources that tell us who they actually are.

I'm still on the fence on this one. Who's their leader? Who's their press secretary? Who's their treasurer? Got a legitimate source? Then edit it into the article. Get us some more names and I'll be more than satisfied.

-- Randy2063 (talk) 13:47, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since some people here may be affiliated with the "organization" I'll note that it may be worthwhile putting some of the needed leadership information on the website, which might then be referenced. It may not be sufficient for fully establishing noteworthiness but it will add to the material we have now.

At the moment, they appear to be anonymous. An anonymous blog can be noteworthy enough for an article, but not one that's only been around for a month, and probably won't make it through winter. Be serious, folks.

-- Randy2063 (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyogirl179, again, I ask why are you lecturing at those making a case for the article, and not advising those such as Randy2063 who is continually just throwing out personal judgements of the group and making characterizations of it that have nothing to do with the issue - which is whether the extent of coverage in reliable independent sources is enough to establish noteworthiness. Randy2063 please stay on topic instead of posting your own original research. EverSince (talk) 17:49, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Original research? I'm (a) citing their own website; and (b) asking that others find more sources about who these people are. That's not a merely personal judgment.

This is an anonymous group that's had a website for a little over a month. That's observation, not a personal judgment.

-- Randy2063 (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The notability guideline is clear that the issue is whether the group has been noted and discussed by multiple independent secondary sources, several of which have now been provided ("Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability"). According to the guideline, their self-published material is potentially relevant for the article content after that. But your characterization of that has been shown to be unreliable anyway - you keep saying it's "just a website", which is inaccurate because there is also an associated facebook group (which the deletion proposal was complaining about along with the obviously prejudiced claim that "this group doesn't really do anything") plus a twitter feed and a petition aimed at various govt officials, and I don't know what other activities online or offline. And you kept saying it's just two guys but now you're complaining they're anonymous (like anonymous (group) in that respect then) but in either case the issue is independent secondary sources establishing notability as a group. EverSince (talk) 21:56, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, a website and a facebook page and a twitter account. I've already noted that. Maybe they have their own stationery, too.

Yes, I did say it's just two guys but I thought they were willing to be known as affiliated with the "organization." They probably are the group but their website doesn't say that.

"Anonymous (group)" is not a 501(c)(3). "Occupy Marines" is. They're not supposed to be anonymous.

After looking at WP:GNG, I think user:Cox wasan is right. But I'm really not asking for much.

-- Randy2063 (talk) 23:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again you're distracting away from the issue of the demonstrated notability in multiple published national sources, to your speculation and denigration of the details of the group, which are matters for an article not a deletion proposal. So, great argument when it comes down to it - Cox wasan: 'fails notability for GNG' (no reason given & can't even be bothered to spell out the jargon for non-wikipedianites), Randy2063: 'I think Cox wasan is right'. EverSince (talk) 00:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's right. "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail... You do have some references but they don't tell us who these people are -- and I don't mean just their names. This article isn't a stub anymore, and it still doesn't have much to say. The "See also" section is almost half of it.

Once again, I'm not asking for much. I'd just like some hard information so that when Wikipedia is used as a link for 501(c)(3) fundraising appeals, the readers will have some names on record. They've only had a domain name since October 19th.

-- Randy2063 (talk) 01:22, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Typical tactic of some Wikipedianites to cite policies to try and show they're talking from authority while simultaneously misrepresenting it for their own ends. The guideline does NOT specify what particular details have to be provided, it just says there has to be enough content to base a substantive amount of content on. And NOWHERE does it say anything about 501(c)(3) status needing to be discussed, you're simply making that up. Wikipedia is collaborative and not about you and what you would personally like others to find for you (see WP:OWN). EverSince (talk) 02:00, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand. I didn't say 501(c)(3) status is needed. If you'll recall, I had said that it helps here. The source says they're working on it, which works in favor of a keep. That's about the only thing they have going for them.

Here's another independent published article, dated 11th November 2011 in The Nation periodical, http://www.thenation.com/article/164553/veterans-occupy-wall-street The relevant section: "Since then, the visibility of veterans and veteran organizations at Occupy events around the country has grown, becoming more persistent and evident to both protesters and organizers. After witnessing the police brutality in New York earlier this month, a group of veterans calling themselves Occupy Marines pledged its support to the Occupy Wall Street movement. “As veterans we were led to believe [that] our service was to protect America’s way of life abroad,” a spokesperson of the organization explains, “We did not want to believe that our presence in the Middle East was to ensure an oil supply, or to deepen the pockets of the financial elites. Many…lost their life out there, and the suggestion that their sacrifice was for profits, or oil, is unbearable. [That is why] we came forward to protect these demonstrators’ ability to express their constitutional First Amendment right.” EverSince (talk) 01:13, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pledge of support but not news of what they've already done.

If they said that they have already been providing security (like the 501st Legion at SF conventions) then that would be something notable. There are better examples but I didn't want to venture into past history.

Yet again please stop putting your interpretation of guidelines and sources over the top of everything. That is not how notability is defined in the guidelines.

EverSince (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability includes "significant coverage." Apparently, they've had enough significant coverage to write a tiny stub, most of which is a boastful mission statement apparently from their facebook page.

Improving article - A number of editors have posted potential references on this discussion page. If these references say something not covered in the article and if they are reliable secondary sources (such as a newspaper, not a blog) then it would improve the article if the additional information and references were added to the article. If an editor is new to Wikipedia and not quite sure how to add the information, then post your reference and basic points on the article's talk page Talk:Occupy_Marines. Other more experienced editors will be happy to help out.--Nowa (talk) 14:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It appears that the Basic Concepts article is a simplified version of the Introduction article, in addition to not using any equations. I can see that a user who is a total physics novice, or who is put off by the appearance of equations might prefer the Basic Concepts version rather than the Introduction version, but I am not sure if we can support 2 versions of the same thing. I might delete the Basic Concepts and edit the Introduction to be simpler; the reader does not need to see the actual formulas Bohr used or know the details of the Rydberg formula and so on. Other, more advanced articles cover these things. --Marjaliisa (talk) 09:02, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Useful for those who fear mathematics. Incidentally, the definition given for "field" is incorrect (for this subject). Xxanthippe (talk) 22:10, 23 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Keep—Specifically for those who can't deal with mathematics. The math in the senior article on quantum mechanics is far over the head of the inquiring high school student—or anyone else who is not a math of physics student at the college level. The reader with at least a high school knowledge of math does deserve to be offered as much as possible to enable understanding of this crucial topic, so the Introduction to quantum mechanics should not be dumbed down. On the other hand, there are frequently readers who object to being subjected to the difficulty of the subject. They may find a popularization of the subject enough to give them some idea of what quantum mechanics is talking about. The requirement for the Basic concepts article would then be to make sure that it does not contain misleading statements. (Einstein could write that kind of thing, but only because he knew all of the landmines he had to step around.)P0M (talk) 18:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Two questions:

Might it be better to merge this article with Wikipedia simple? The QM article there has more math than this one does.
Is this article likely to be found by someone who needs a simpler introduction? RockMagnetist (talk) 01:11, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that Simple English articles are for people who are learning English, not for people who are necessarily short on math skills.

Maybe it should be given a special "math-free zone" medallion.

There is a general problem in English Wikipedia with articles that are "encyclopedic" but only work for readers who already pretty much understand what is being said. The article on the Plank constant just got a critique from a social scientist who read the lead paragraphs and still did not have any idea what that constant was all about. It's bad enough when an inquiring high school student cannot understand an article on a fundamental science issue, but when a social scientist cannot understand it either then it is even more clear that we all need to decide who the intended audience is.

Writing simply enough for high school students to understand has sometimes prompted outrage from more highly educated readers who feel they are being talked down to. Writing tersely enough to satisfy those who are professionals in a field is likely to leave all other readers feeling left out.

If all science article writers had the skill of Einstein they could write simply without laying landmines for readers just beginning their study of a question. But I think that even Einstein would have problems mixing higher math with his popularizations. Ordinary writers are lucky if they can handle a single level.

One of the really frustrating things about these three articles is that there are regular attempts to redo things, not because of any issue of validity of content, but because someone feels that an article should be more or less technical than it is. This kind of instability can result in the degradation of an article over time. I just compared one topic of the Uncertainty principle article and discovered that the current content is inferior to an explication that was given within a couple months of the article's being started nearly ten years ago.

I would prefer to keep things stable, and doing so requires keeping all three articles.P0M (talk) 23:06, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are completely correct to raise the issue of the level of expertise needed to understand a technical article. Too many are written by experts for experts and make insufficient attempt to introduce a less expert reader to the subject. The situation is even worse in mathematics. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

It was news to me that there was even an Introduction to quantum mechanics, let alone an even more basic article. Now I find that articles with simpler introductions have Category:Articles with separate introductions and the template {{see introduction}}, as well as the hidden Category:Introduction articles (I don't understand why it is hidden). I think that there are some good issues being raised here that should really be addressed at a broader level. If a "Basic concepts of" article is needed for QM, it is probably needed for many other top-importance articles, and there should be a similar support mechanism. I am contacting some relevant wikiprojects. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Introduction to quantum mechanics. I frankly think it silly to have two — let alone three — versions of a given article. If Quantum mechanics has a poorly written introduction, it should be reworked, not split into multiple versions. ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Both Quantum mechanics and Introduction to quantum mechanics, at approximately 9000 words each, are at the upper end of the length recommended at Wikipedia:Article size. We need to be careful that any proposed merge doesn't result in a monstrously long article. Jowa fan (talk) 01:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That shouldn't be a problem because Basic concepts of quantum mechanics is pretty much an excerpt from Introduction to quantum mechanics. If they are merged, the real question would be what level to make the combined article. RockMagnetist (talk) 02:04, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Until you get more deeply into this issue it will be difficult to understand how much complexity is involved. No math is one level. High school math is another level. But the math that is used professionally goes into stuff that was invented to deal with the new physics. It's not anything that a student with a year or two as a math major in college can deal with. The "Example" section of the simple English version was once almost the first thing the reader hit after a short history. (See http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quantum_mechanics&oldid=1408264). There is no way to get from "no math" to that stuff in one article. Originally I was opposed to the "Basic" article, but it seems to make for stability by satisfying the "afraid of math" people.P0M (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There are some policy guidelines in Introduction to ... articles. RockMagnetist (talk) 02:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The guideline RockMagnetist has pointed out is pretty clear; a certain amount of content forking is allowable under special circumstances, but as Lhynard says it's hard to imagine that these circumstances could ever justify three version of an article. To the folks who say that we need a math-free version of the article I'd respond that quantum mechanics is inherently mathematical; if you think you understand it without knowing math then you're fooling yourself and an article that pretends to explain it without math is just feeding the illusion. There are some things that can be said about quantum mechanics that don't require math, such as what kinds of results are produced and enough of what some of the concepts are to get the jokes in the Big Bang Theory sitcom, but this can easily be put into the article lead and first couple of sections of an article. But this kind of "popular" explanation of a science like quantum mechanics really has no more scientific validity than an explanation of how a transporter or a warp drive works. I'm not going as far to say Merge or Delete though because I feel it would be rather pointless. There is a tendency at Wikipedia for articles to be "by graduate students for graduate students", and even articles that start out as well written for a general audience eventually have jargon added by editors who don't understand the difficulties of writing for about technical subjects for nontechnical people. So there is a further tendency to create nontechnical versions of these articles rather than attempt to repair the problems in the existing articles. So there are systemic reasons why this article was created and if it is merged or deleted it will only be a matter of time before someone creates a similar article. Maybe when the fourth or fifth version of the article is created the systemic issues will start to be addressed.--RDBury (talk) 08:06, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All good points. One further observation: It is always desirable to go from the concrete to the abstract. For instance, a graph showing how classical physics predicted the levels of energy produced for each frequency of a black-body radiator, vs. how the curve really looks makes it clear just how huge the problem was. Adding the Wein approximation and the Planck law results will let readers understand how big an improvement quantum mechanics made. Then the reader will be able to accept the idea that some relatively complicated math was needed to get the right curve, and they will also probably be calm about skipping over the equations if they don't care to really investigate them.P0M (talk) 18:25, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Introduction to quantum mechanics – rationale here. ― A. di M. 16:23, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with History of quantum mechanics. This idea was proposed in the previous AfD, and it makes sense. This article is mostly a history of quantum mechanics, and it is better written than History of quantum mechanics. The latter has a short essay followed by an enormous timeline that is more detailed than the "main" Timeline of quantum mechanics. Of course, before performing any such merge, the editors of those pages should be informed of the debate. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Introduction to quantum mechanics. Our "introduction" category is very useful for beginners and should be strengthened.

'Merge and redirect into the Intro article. There's especially nice shortcuts and simpler re-wordings. Bearian (talk) 19:42, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Carefully merge. There's quite interesting discussion going on at the article talk-pages, and at WT:PHYSICS. It is often a lot harder to write something simple than to write something at a more sophisticated level one might personally feel most comfortable with. Three articles is definitely too many. But there is a lot to be said for keeping material as short and as simple as possible, but with very visible links to more detail. Unfortunately, the all-too-easy tendency over time is for articles to get longer and more inclusive, at the direct expense of succinctness and easy navigation. Succinctness and navigability is hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain. Therefore, by all means merge, but I suggest aim to make the result as far as possible more like this article Basic concepts of quantum mechanics than like Introduction to quantum mechanics. At every step, the question should be: Can we make this our introductory front-line article shorter? For each fact and each detail that might be added, can we rather leave it to a (well-signposted) alternative second-line article instead. The more the final merged article ends up looking like this article, the better.

There is also a very interesting suggestion at WT:PHYSICS that that merged article should be what Quantum mechanics directs to, with as much of the current QM article as possible also broken out into second-line spin-out articles. I think that has a lot to be said for it, as a whole-article level application of WP:TECHNICAL. But to make it work, that top-line article really will be as simple and as navigable as possible -- closer to the current "Basic concepts" article than to the current "Introduction" article.

Redirect to Joe Lipari#career where it is already mentioned in relationship to his work. Short films have a very tough time showing notability meriting a separate article and this film is no exception. We can at least send readers to the one place where it makes sense to have a contextual mention. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Speedy Keep. Agree with the 2 user's (DustFormsWords, and Sjones23). Also, it seems that this is only a profile with a voice actor. I read the reason that Since we don't consider the different types of Pokemon, we will not consider the different Digimon either (just something like that). Yes I agree to that, but Pokemon cast (except for human cast) are not speaking, unlike Digimon that all of the monsters there are speaking. So in this case, I don't see the real point on why this article needed to delete. (That goes for the other as well). Hamham31 Heke! 03:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The package is notable, more sources are readily available and AFD is still not cleanup. Warden (talk) 10:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prove it. Right now, you've just cited three arguments to avoid all at once. How is the package notable? Where are the sources? I couldn't find any, and I just said the ones from the last AFD are unusable. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 12:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But what you say does not seem reliable. You claim that the sources previously presented are press releases or directory listings. This is false because, for example, source 2 presented by JulesH in the previous AFD was a conference paper published by the Institut für Computergraphik und Algorithmen at Vienna University of Technology. My own searching quickly indicated that there were satisfactory sources and so the topic is notable. I shall not exert myself to supply details of these because you have the off-putting habit of claiming the credit for work done by other editors in such cases. If you want someone to work upon the article then you might try using the {{rescue}} tag or the magic word. Warden (talk) 17:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Sources are in the previous AFD. That they are not in the article is not the article's fault, and is not reason for deletion. As stated above, AFD is not for cleanup. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you even reading what I write? I said THE SOURCES IN THE LAST AFD ARE NOT USABLE IN MY OPINION. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:41, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Of the four links in the previous AFD, two have gone away, one is a copy of a press release, and one is a conference paper. If that were all, then they would not add up to notability. But the discussion is of course not confined to those sources alone, as CW points out. Here are some more [26] 8 occurrences, including "Euclid is one of Europe's primary CAD products"; [27]; [28]; Ricca Edmondson (1997). The Political Context of Collective Action.

Delete. Article for online-only collaborative publication between several dozen art history organizations. The fact of all these organizations makes general web and Gscholar searches a nuisance, as most hits appear to be primary to one of the organizations, or trivial mentions. The most interesting Gscholar hit is to a research article Prospects and challenges of international E-Publishing Projects – The example of RIHA Journal, which provides explanations for the journal's lack of success. Zero Gnews hits, but it was only founded in 2010, so perhaps it will become notable in time. Fails WP:GNG right now.

Weak Keep. The individual seems notable enough and several of the sources reliable. Maybe some more in-depth sourcing would strengthen the status of this article. McMarcoP (talk) 17:28, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The bulk of the citations in the article are not from WP:RS. The two that are potentially reliable source citations to evaluate more deeply are The Baptist Times and the Telegraph. The Baptist Times piece [34] mentions him as part of a WP:BLP1E bike-ride. The Telegraph piece [35] is the closest to coverage, but its significance is not major. He is quoted a few times, but is not the focus of the article - even though the article appears to be the result of a Church press-release. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 18:22, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Both this biography and that of the organization he heads, Christian Vision for Men, are simultaneously up for deletion, which I find concerning. The group seems clearly notable, the individual is probably notable. In the event this closes as a delete, be sure to merge content to the article on the group. I'll offer no formal recommendation here other than to note that CHRISTIAN VISION FOR MEN (exact phrase) + BEECH generated 53,900 Google hits, indicating the high likelihood that adequate substantial independently published sources exist if one is motivated enough to dig them out. See the deletion discussion for Christian Vision for Men for examples of a couple that I have found about the group. Carrite (talk) 19:30, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll elaborate and note that in my experience, a common counter to our objection is for the defenders to present a discussion of the sources and tell us why they are reliable.

Oppose largely because it is notable. The album can be expanded similar to Selena Live!, I haven't gotten that far down the line with expanding as I'm currently working on Ven Conmigo. Furthermore, even though the album never impacted any music chart nor did RIAA issued a certification, her singles had extensive airplay in South Texas (while ineligible for the Hot 100) and were issued out as promotional singles. I support the mass redirect of her non-solo career singles but not her albums that helped shaped her in the Tejano market and to be noticed.

This source and these states that the album was one of the early milestones of her career, though its not enough to say that it is anywhere notable in Wikipedia as a stand-alone article. However, this source says that the album did not sell well and gives genres the band used to record the album. The album is mentioned in the book called The encyclopedia of popular music. It was given a three out of five star rating by Allmusic. If these are still not enough to save this article then I'll vote to redirect the article to Selena albums discography. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 21:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While it does have stars from Allmusic, that means bupkis since they didn't bother to write a review. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:18, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crawley Council election, 2012

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

WP:Crystal. Can perfectly be moved to the workspace of the author untill there is something more to tell about these elections, say March/April 2012! Night of the Big Wind _talk 20:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The elections will take place and the date is already known as it is set out in statute and the wards up for election are known due to the expiration of the exisiting councillors terms. There has also been no publication of boundary changes and no Standing Orders have been passed by parliament modifying the boundaries. This means the ward names and alike are the same as when they were last contested. The wait and see argument is a bit bogus here as you wait and see until when? This is better discussed on the project page to discuss if there should be "cut off" date before the creation of election articles. --Lucy-marie (talk) 21:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But having an empty article for the next few months is not really usefull. That is why I suggest to move it to your own userspace, untill there is more information available. Without candidates, it is pretty useless. But removing is silly. Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case this is better considered on the article discussion page or on the creator’s user talk page. AfD is only meant for the nomination of articles for genuine and permanent deletion and not to discuss page moves or pages mergers.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, mergers are often discussed and recommended here as an alternative to deletion.North8000 (talk) 02:53, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That may be true as a compromise or result of the discussion but the original nomination must be for deletion and not for moving, merging or redirection. Otherwise it is not strictly a "good faith" nomination.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:51, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? What kind of .... are you telling? It is a proposal to move the article out of the articlespace to your own workspace . No merger, no deletion, just a move to another sector of Wikipedia. Nothing gets lost, it is only parked on a by-road instead of on the motorway. Night of the Big Wind _talk 19:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a discussion to delete the article, if there is a wish to move the articles to another place on Wikipedia (including a userspace)then a request a move is required. Using deletion request for requesting an aticle be moved to another part of Wikipedia is an abuse of deletion requests.--Lucy-marie (talk) 23:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a discussion to remove the article from the articlespace. The way it is removed, is not per definition the destruction of the article by deleting it. Why such a fuzz and big words? Night of the Big Wind _talk 07:02, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The big problem here is there is an established procedure for moving an article and that is Move Request. Perhaps talking to the creator of the article before nomination for deletion would have acheiverd your goal. Deletion request is only meant for when an article is genuinly not fit to be on Wikipedia because it fails to meet the set standards. In this case the request is not to delete the article it is to move the article, so the request is not a deletion request.--Lucy-marie (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And maybe you should read WP:CIVIL. I take offence out of your words... Night of the Big Wind _talk 07:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place to go off topic please remain on topic, all comments refer to this deletion request (including the nature of the request) and if any user has taken offense based on a factual reading of the situation then tough. Perhaps more thought and research (such as looking on the talk page) was required before nomination to ensure the criteria for a deletion request is met before nominating. No user has had thier character questioned or attacked. Simply the nature of this errouneous deletion request has been questioned as it is not a deletion request, it is a move request.--Lucy-marie (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Also, per WP:CRYSTAL which goes on to state : "[some articles are] not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research." The Rambling Man (talk) 08:19, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    - Well perhaps you're unaware of an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom discussing the value (or otherwise) of these stub articles that can easily be merged into the previous election articles as they add nothing other than the planned date of the election. I didn't nominate this article either, but I agree that it's a pointless article that adds no value to Wikipedia, speculates on the composition of parties running for particular seats and full of redlinked templates. All in all, pointless. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I wasn't aware of that discussion. Thanks. Lugnuts (talk) 11:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That discussion mentioned by TRM is the forum for where the discussions should take place and not a deletion discusssion where the nominator simply wants a page move to user space. Deletion discussion is not the place for that kind of discusssion. The link to the discussion mentioned by TRM is also on the article talk page, so no research was done and no attempt was made at discussion before nominating for deletion. All in all a very poor nomination.--Lucy-marie (talk) 17:01, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with that. The guidance/policy should be agreed there and once finalised, it can be used to keep/delete individual election articles, not the other way around. Lugnuts (talk) 12:02, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, assuming good faith, the nominator wasn't aware of the discussion either? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:22, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That may well be true but the nominator only had to look on the discussion page of the article. Also the nominator them self has stated unequivocally that they do not want the article deleted they simply want the article moved to a user space.--Lucy-marie (talk) 14:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Convention has always fallen onto the side of these articles being maintained. This discussion has been held numerous times, and each time the basis for keeping always outweighs the basis for deleting. The articles are established parts of the wider UK politics project, are notable by the nature of their content, are not 'first source' material or original research, and do not break the CRYSTAL rules by virtue of their status in the political calender. That some parts of the country has more electoral statistics to hand is of no consequence. doktorb _words^deeds 15:17, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So how do you know the "Justice Party" are running for any seat (for example)? That's original research. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am not a resident of Crawley so the basis of finding proof is hard to make....BUT, before we go down that route, I will agree with you that this entire issue is somewhat contentious. I suggest (not least because it's an article which appears safe from deletion for the time being) that people look at what I did for Preston Council election, 2012, especially if you press "Edit" and see that I have hidden election results and sourced encyclopedic content in the interim. doktorb _words^deeds 15:24, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - So it is original research. It certainly isn't verifiable. I thought we worked on the basis of information in our articles being verifiable, not speculative? (Incidentally, if the article stays, it should really look like this as it will then contain almost no unverified material...) The Rambling Man (talk) 15:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I don't think it is OR as such. I have election boxes with parties ready and waiting, only I have taken the step to hide them. If the user does that too, *in addition to* adding the kind of ward information/electoral history as I have, then we could be good to go. The issue here is how specific local information doesn't equate to Wikipedia rules. I know, pretty much, exactly who will stand in each Preston ward, because elections here are dull, small and parochial, with the same people taking part every year. But I also know that Wikipedia doesn't like having information without citations. Lucy obviously has the same small-town local elections going on in Crawley because otherwise she would not be confident in keeping the parties as they are. If this article does stay, then she (or anyone else) should copy my model for local elections to circumnavigate their way around AfD sharks. (Incidentally, user:DaveWild is also a good man to go to for this sort of thing) doktorb _words^deeds 15:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Okay, but just because a user "knows" something, it doesn't mean it should be included in an article unless it can be independently and reliably verified. This information is not verifiable and should be hidden until some/all of it can be verified. (Plus it would hide all the uses of that broken template). The Rambling Man (talk) 15:49, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Absolutely right, but I still oppose deletion, which is the question posed by this nomination. If Lucy has the kind of information which Davewild and I include where we can on these sorts of articles then it is instantly saved. "Common knowledge" has a place in Wikipedia, though, and local elections might only have two main sources (local newspaper, the local council itself). doktorb _words^deeds 15:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        As I said, I would be reasonably happy to keep the version which doesn't have all the empty tables speculating over the composition of the various wards, because the rest of the article is reasonably well referenced. I see no place for empty, unreferenced, unverifiable, speculative tables of data (with broken templates...!) The Rambling Man (talk) 16:00, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - WP:CRYSTAL is not intended to apply to future events which are near-certainties, such as scheduled elections. In addition, it is likely that there will be a large amount of verifiable information available on this topic prior to the event that will be of encyclopaedic value to a large cohort of readers, and there is an administrative benefit to the project in having an article available to collect and organise that information as it occurs. The topic is clearly notable and is the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Disputes about quality or verifiability of article content are not a matter for AfD and can be handled through the normal edit/revert/discuss process. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:32, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - still see no point in an article that can simply be a single sentence in the previous year's election article, but I've removed the unverifiable, speculative tables and added a {{cn}} template where required. It's now a stub which is effectively useless other than to tell us the alleged date of the election, but at least most of it is verifiable and not original research. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably delete -- Council elections come up regularly, unlike Parliamentary ones, so that this is not WP:CRYSTAL. It is certain to happen (barring a revolution or an unlikely change in the law). However, we do not normally regard councillors as notable. Even articels on councils do not normally have much detail on their past composition. I am therefore dubious whether this is a kind of article that WP should encourage. I note that very few councils have election articles; we do not usually have articles on wards (as such), though the may coincide with a village or other locality that may be used as a surrogate. Since the councillors (let alone the defeated candidates) will be NN, there is little purpose in listing them. A table giving the results for each ward and the result ought to be sufficient. Accordingly I support ramblingman's action in removing all the blank tables. I suspect that this subject needs to be discussed more fully at a UK Politics project page. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Probably keep for now; if it's a question about whether we should encourage such articles this needs an rfc , not a debate on an isolated article, and the article kept until there is a general consensus.

Delete Fails notability for GNG. --Cox wasan (talk) 21:17, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you cast as much as a glance at the links above? Explain how eight reviews of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and three articles with substantial biographical information do not confer notability via WP:AUTHOR and the GNG, respectively. Goodvac (talk) 22:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Don't be surprised by Cox wasan's behavior... I'm increasely suspecting Cow wasan is a bot that randomly gives "delete" votes with the same identical, poor comment.--Cavarrone (talk) 22:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Goodvac - nice finds. Subject meets WP:AUTHOR. Gongshow ^Talk 05:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Goodvac good-work, the links he provided support a claim of notability linked to the WP:AUTHOR criteria.--Cavarrone (talk) 22:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Reviews are one of the things that prove the notability of books and of their authors. It is, btw, not necessary for the reviews to cover the routine biography of the author in any detail. Hemingway had a very interesting personal life, but he'd be just as notable if we knew nothing about him except his books, the way we know almost nothing of Sappho. People are notable for the work they do. As for the work, the books are very widely read How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci is in over 1000 US libraries! His sound recording from it is in almost 900! Discover your genius is in almost 800; Body Leaning in 700.His works have been translated into Spanish. Chinese, German, Japanese , Polish, French, Swedish, Danish, Slovenian, Persian, Turkish, and Vietnamese. (all accordiung to Worldcat) What the article needs is not deletion, but expansion..

Blocked (film)

I found no significant coverage - not one review even. SL93 (talk) 00:14, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the epitome of non-notable. According to a SPS review, the film was the first and only feature film by James Roberts,[38] though he did write and direct a similarly non-notable short film in 2007. Okay.. so Blocked got release. It never received coverage. And being an "offical selection" at the Silver Lake Film Festival is not an award... it's simply being accepted to screen. Without commentary in secondary source, its a gonner. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Rotten Tomatoes also shows zero reviews. Fails WP:GNG. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 05:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Concerns for deletion appear to have been addressed. There does appear to be an emerging consensus for changing the article's title. Further discussion should take place in a requested move. (non-admin closure) Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 03:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism of Top Gear

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

A somewhat unencyclopaedic synthesis forked from a main article; these criticisms of a TV series are not in themselves sufficiently notable (and are summarised in the main article about the series). – Kieran T ^(talk) 00:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- not a terrible starting point for an article. The show is controversial (in a storm in a teacup sense), I don't see why this article is unencyclopedic. Petty, yes, but wowsers like to whinge. Greglocock (talk) 00:41, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Natural break-out article from the main topic article, lots of quality third-party coverage. Deletion is in my view completely unjustifed by policy and would be pure censorship. Having said that the article does need quite a bit of work (like about 3 million others...) Rangoon11 (talk) 01:23, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Enough general coverage in the press to show notability. Lugnuts (talk) 08:46, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Hostile attack page, contrary to core policy. The article title has been devised to foster a one-sided ragbag of whinges but Wikipedia is not the BBC complaints department. The main forum for that is named Points of View — Q.E.D. Warden (talk) 10:16, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- a very good article infact, a very good representation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruno Russell (talk • contribs) 12:39, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - In response to Colonel Warden, Top Gear has been criticised in the UK national press on numerous occasions. Regardless of your personal opinion on whether or not the criticism is justified, it is clear from the numerous references that it is certainly notable, and that is what counts here. --Ritchie333 (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Show is notable, and there is a fair bit of valid content. --Axel™ (talk) 20:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Is sufficently well-sourced and notable. Glimmer721 ^talk 01:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is it too early to WP:SNOW this? --Ritchie333 (talk) 10:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Surely not. This is of course not a vote, and in terms of points made rather than number of contributors, it's not so clear-cut. I'd say there's some degree of confusion whereby the notability of the programme influences the notability of the criticisms, which isn't a given. 188.220.18.163 (talk) 13:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But do a major overhaul so there is no need for any more tags at the top of the page. Tofutwitch11 ^(TALK) 14:49, 24 November 2011 (UDelete
Delete this whole article is a biased way of looking at TopGear. So because it is biased it has no place in an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDamox (talk • contribs) 00:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In the opening paragraph, I see both a criticism by Jeremy Clarkson towards the BBC, and a counter-response from the BBC following this. That doesn't sound particularly like bias to me. --Ritchie333 (talk) 13:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources.--Cavarrone (talk) 10:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep series that has had significant criticism in recent years discussed in reliable sources (e.g. in UK newspapers/tabloids). If there are not enough citations add them instead of deleting an article which sooner or later will be recreated if someone is bold enough to create an article with a deleted article message popping up (which usually discourages the average person). S_peakF_ree ^(talk)_(contribs) 01:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete absurd split combining several disparate things: the dispute over the extent to which BBC supported the program, the occurrences of racism and homophobia, and the dangerous or unduly damaging episodes. Putting all this together amount to a POV split: everything negative about Top Gear. DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - perhaps a better title would be "Controversy of Top Gear"? --Ritchie333 (talk) 12:34, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment (as the original nominator) — if the article is retained I'd certainly be supportive of that name change. There is undeniably controversy. I'd still be unconvinced it's sufficiently notable for its own article (references alone, even this many, don't establish suitable notability), but "criticism" is widely (if wrongly!) perceived as inherently one-sided whereas a description of controversy would seem more fair as well as factual. – Kieran T ^(talk) 13:58, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment There are a lot of articles beginning with Criticism of... including one named Criticism of Wikipedia. I don't see what's controversial about the word criticism. S_peakF_ree ^(talk)_(contribs) 18:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Although my vote of keep above is not dependent on it, I would be happy with a change of name as proposed above (although I think something like 'Controversies relating to Top Gear' would be neater'). Rangoon11 (talk) 18:25, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
