Promotional bio for ex-model turned movie director whose band article was recently AFDed. The only ghits I can find are listings of the 'City of Motherly Love' film, with no reliable third-party reviews, which would fail WP:NFILMS. The rest are self-generated content, including press releases mirrored in local news station websites. The notability for her, her work or her production company just isn't there, whether we look at basic WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. §FreeRangeFrog 22:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No evidence of popular success or notability, mostly self-promotion as stands and would become empty of contents without self- or near self-citations.
  • Delete Although she has appeared on MTV and other ventures, her success or notability is not showcased. I am leaning to believe that this accomplishments are merely occasional and with no impact in time, which is somewhat needed to meet WP:BIO. Additionally, seems that we have only situational coverage of her actions as part of a major report, meaning that she's not the main point of discussion in the sources placed on the article, and those that could have been found. — ΛΧΣ21™ 21:32, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Directors of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration

edit
List of Directors of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list is a split from Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration. The splitter has not started a discussion on the split, as required by WP:SPLIT. The split is certainly not justified on size (the original article is under 6K, this is under 2.5K, and size splitting doesn't take place until 40K). The list does not overburden the original article (especially if formatted correctly, without a list of non-existant pictures). To discussants and the closer, please note that even though this is an AfD, the burden is actually reversed--Ahnoneemoos needs to justify the existence of this as a standalone article, with a no consensus result requiring a return to the original state (no split). Really, an AfD should never have been required, had Ahnoneemoos attempted to establish consensus in the first place. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Keep as a standalone article. I beleive that it's better if we have a clean and concise list on the main article with a separated and detailed list on this List. The Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration is similar to a foreign affairs ministry and it's important to detail its Directors, but not on its main article. The main article already has a clean and concise list of its former Directors while this article has a detailed view. This is acceptable on Wikipedia and is not a violation of any rules.
In addition, WP:BEBOLD, WP:IAR, and WP:NOTABUREAUCRACY doesn't require a discussion to take place to split the article. I was WP:BOLD, split the article on its own, and tagged it with the proper cleanup templates while leaving concise and susbstantial information on the main article. I will take responsibility and give my compromise to edit and clean the List as time goes by. Just because it doesn't have pictures today it doesn't mean that it won't have them tomorrow. I'm not an employee of Wikipedia and can't be on it 24/7 but it's obvious if you see the list of articles that I have created and edited that I will eventually contribute to it to bring it up to standard. I also understand that I don't WP:OWN and that this is not my article, but this is simply a normal thing to do on articles that have long tables that deviate from the main subject.
Furthermore, this is just a WP:WITCHHUNT on User:Qwyrxian as you can see on my talk page. This is not about what's better for Wikipedia, it's all about WP:WINNING and WP:DISRUPTPOINT. I have clearly offered a solution that can satisfy both point of views but User:Qwyrxian still wants to delete it. He is being intransigent.
—Ahnoneemoos (talk) 22:40, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Being bold is fine. When you are reverted after being bold, you must engage in a discussion on the matter. WP:BRD is probably the most widely accepted essay on the site, and is generally held to be equivalent to a guideline at least. Had you simply opened up the discussion required by WP:SPLIT, I never would have taken the steps I did, and would have trusted whatever consensus resulted. You chose to forge your own path, thus I had to use a more drastic means to remedy to your refusal to start a discussion. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:03, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But that's the problem, you did not revert my edit: you simply speedy deleted it unilaterally even after I contested its deletion. You just can't speedy delete something as an Administrator when it's contested. Remember, as an editor WP:IAR and WP:BEBOLD cover your ass, but as an Administrator things are different because you actually have the power to delete something. I advise you to re-read what you just wrote and WP:CALM. If you notice you are doing this simply becuase of WP:BUREAUCRACY. Your goal is not doing what is best for Wikipedia, your goal right now is: "DUE PROCESS WAS NOT FOLLOWED OHMAHGAWD MUST DELETE". Wikipedia is flexible and WP:IAR stands above all. This is not a malicious edit, it's actually quite benefitial, but you are so caught up in WP:DISRUPTPOINT and WP:BUREAUCRACY that you want to vanish all evil that doesn't follow what you believe to be due process. You need to remember that WP:NOTPAPER and splitting articles is OK as long as you leave substantial information on the main article. That's exactly what I did. I have provided you with a fantastic solution that satisifies both your concerns and mine, but you are still focused on your crusade for due process, WP:NOTABUREAUCRACY bro. Seriously man, WP:CALM, WP:LETITGO, and have a blunt and you will realize how petty this is. We could be spending all this time and effort on creating new articles. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 23:18, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Task: we need to detail the Directors information and include: Ordinality, Picture, Name, Date they took office, Date they left office, Political party, and Affiliation.
Problem: if we detail all that on the main article then visually the article becomes more about its Director than about the office since the table would be extremely long.
Solution: keep concise and clean details of the Directors on the main article and split the details into its own article.
This is what this edit did. Unfortunately, as you can see, User:Qwyrxian deleted it even when the speedy delete was contested.
Hope this helps.

  • Keep - a reasonable list. Work in progress. Nomination without merit. WP:SPLIT does not "require" anything. It is a guideline, and it merely "recommends". - Altenmann >t 12:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no requirement to stage a discussion prior to splitting a section from an article. I also disagree that there's any kind of burdenshifting applicable here; if anything, AFDs should be harder when you are trying to delete split content because the normal solution, if one is needed, is simply to merge back and redirect. A no consensus result would just throw this back to normal discussion and editing to hash out; it would not in any way prevent editors from keeping this split off. Here a split based on size issues is reasonable given the length of the formatted table, and the same as has been done for other articles on government offices. So keep. postdlf (talk) 22:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is a list of people who have held a significant governmental role. I expect that the remaining entries will also be found to be notable. Both this and the page it was split from having sourcing issues, but googling suggests that sources exist. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:58, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic and unmaintainable trivia. Delete. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: As the creator of the article, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to vote "keep", but anyway: Wikipedia has "unencyclopedic trivia" such as List of most watched television broadcasts, List of most watched sporting events in 2004 and List of films that most frequently use the word "fuck". See also Category:Superlatives. Toccata quarta (talk) 22:24, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • To answer your question... yes, you are most certainly allowed to indicate your preference to Keep. (We don't actually "vote" on Wikipedia; we build consensus. See also WP:!VOTE.) --76.189.101.221 (talk) 15:27, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well... the only problem is that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't really a way to argue for inclusion because sometimes people show articles that aren't notable or are sourced properly, etc. You can state that there is precedence with lists that collect data such as "most viewed ____", but it also comes down to you being able to show that it passes WP:NLIST. I do think that there is potential for an article of this sort since many of the videos listed here are ones that have been recorded for having notable amounts of YT viewings, but it's also a list that would potentially be dynamic in that it could change frequently and would need someone to monitor this. Of course things changing rapidly isn't always a reason to delete. In any case, I recommend sourcing each of the videos with a source independent of the video or YT channel, etc. As can be seen in the case of Rebecca Black's Friday, sometimes people take their videos down and the hits are almost always reset when/if they are uploaded again, so it's good to have an outside RS that observes the amount of viewings.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 22:44, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I understand what you are saying, but there is a fair amount of coverage of this phenomenon right now; YouTube has a new "most watched video", and it is receiving plenty of coverage (go to Google News and type in "most watched youtube"). Toccata quarta (talk) 22:51, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Which is why it's so incredibly important to source the article, which is sort of the point I was trying to get across. A list of this nature can be notable, but it's a good idea to source it with RS that discuss the amount of YT views. That way you can easily show the notability for each one. I've linked to each article, but it'd be a good idea to source each one. All it'd take is one source for each one, I think.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 22:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Seems to be it would be more useful (and much easier) to recast the article as something more along the lines of List of YouTube videos with more than 500 million hits. Something like that ... Faustus37 (talk) 09:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - I completely disagree with the nominating edtior who said the article is "Unencyclopedic and unmaintainable trivia". IMO, it is most certainly encyclopedic, easily maintainable, and not trivial at all. YouTube is an Internet icon, and arguably a cultural icon. Why is this article any different than, let's say, this great one: List of best-selling music artists, which has sections based on number of sales? Both are undoubtably notable and very important in their genres. What would disqualify this article that does not disqualify the music artists one? Or hundreds of other similar Lists on Wikipedia? This YouTube list is easily sourced via YouTube Charts and is the online equivalent to the music artists list when it comes to video sites. Unless someone can point to a specific guideline that clearly disqualifies this list, it should stay. I think it's great and, frankly, I'm shocked it wasn't created a long time ago. Btw, the article title should definitely be changed to "List of most viewed YouTube videos", not "watched". YouTube stats are based on views, not watches. --76.189.101.221 (talk) 15:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC) 23:23, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as is. It's just taken from a YouTube chart that's always going to be changing and will never be adequately sourced (for example, the Gangname Style is already 2 million more than what's posted). However, the phenomena is real as the Gangnam Style video proves, so it needs more of a cultural impact slant. There's better ways to present this, not just numbers. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:35, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and improve, but perhaps move page name to address cultural impact and surrounding phenomenon, which is easily confirmed and discussed in literally numerous secondary sources. — Cirt (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with reservations and proposed modifications. I had hoped to find an encyclopedic article that would show the history of #1 videos on YouTube, but nothing like that exists. As new #1 videos often get at least cursory news coverage, that should be something able to be recreated and maintained into the future, and address notability. As is this is just a recapitulation of a list that at best makes the information easier to find (YouTube themselves actually don't make it super obvious), constantly changing. But list of historical #1s would be similar to other music lists and lists such as successor holders of a tallest building title. --Dhartung | Talk 19:13, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I suggest adding more columns (rank, title, artist, language, year released, views) and making them sortable. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:02, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I offer no opinion about any other claims of notability, but must point out that having had a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal is nowhere near passing WP:PROF, or any other notability guideline. That requires having many papers published with many hundreds of citations to them. Pretty well anyone with a PhD has had a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal.

  • Delete. I was surprised by not being able to find any kind of significant coverage on the subject. The article claims he was featured in the NYT and Chicago Tribune, but nothing is showing up in the NYT, and there's only a brief mention of a performance in the Tribune. Other news results are the same: they're in reliable sources, but they're simply listings of performance times. I can't find a single review of a performance in a reliable source. He appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show, but I also don't see any coverage of this performance. I don't think we're up to the WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE or other specific standards here unless someone can unearth evidence of more significant coverage than I was able to find. --Batard0 (talk) 13:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider deleting! Mark is employed as a warm-up comedian & performs a comedy hypnotism show at different locations. His warm-up contributions and experience are noted on pages 11, 188 & 189 by Warren Littlefield in his 2012 book "Top of the Rock" because Mark has done warm-up on so many legendary sitcoms over the past 30+ years. His comedy shows are not reviewed by the press--most stand-up shows are not. I'm currently working on creating a YouTube channel for him (I do freelance work for Mark), which will have multiple clips of his appearances mentioned in the article. If the article is deleted before I can finish the channel (this requires converting multiple VHS tapes & editing them as well as ripping DVDs & editing them), I will re-upload the Mark Sweet page once the multiple videos are up & use them as citation references. Mark is notable in that he's one of the most utilized warm-up comedians in sitcom history, but because he's a behind-the-scenes type of guy, he does not have regular "coverage" of these contributions. However, I hope to keep Mark's article on Wikipedia because of his unique position in the sitcom world and history. Melancie (talk) 02:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Not notable. Does not meet the requirement of substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  • Delete. The thing is, a person can appear on shows or whatnot but that doesn't mean that those appearances or roles were overwhelmingly notable. It's fairly difficult to show notability for entertainers because there are a lot of people who will be brought in to shows (notable or otherwise) to kill time until the person everyone really came to see is brought in. It doesn't mean that the comedian isn't good or that they didn't work hard, just that these sort of things are rarely noted in news articles or made the focus of news articles or shows. The Jimmy Fallon appearance is good, but there's little other coverage out there for him. He hasn't really been the focus of in-depth news articles or other RS, he doesn't have a fan following that is so overwhelmingly large/unique that he'd get notability for that, and he isn't considered to have made any contributions that would be considered to pass part three of WP:ENTERTAINER. In all fairness, part two and three are incredibly hard to pass without first passing part one in some way and all must have some form of coverage/reliable sourcing to back any of them up. This coverage just doesn't seem to be out there. I see trivial mentions here and there, but no in-depth coverage. The mention in Top of the Rock is pretty much a brief mention. It does state that he's done a lot of show warmups but I imagine that the number is probably standard for warmup comedians. The coverage just isn't out there right now. I don't have any problem with this being userfied to Melancie's userspace, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 20:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now - This man certainly has potential but nothing suitable for Wikipedia yet, Google News provided mostly event listings here and continues at the second page with one result, this one (another event listing). As shown above, Tokyogirl79 has provided one Google Books result and I found two more here and here (both minor mentions). If he achieves more appearances possibly even reviews, that would be a start. SwisterTwister talk 21:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The grounds for nomination are worthless, seeing that, although neither of the references currently given really seems usable (one is a dead link, the other seems only to mention him in passing), there is an interwiki link to a distinctly more detailed Spanish Wikipedia article. But, while it would probably help if someone with better Spanish than mine looked at it, the Spanish Wikipedia article mostly seems to be saying that he was a noble who inherited a lot of property through various routes and got into disputes about it, and it has precisely the same references as this article. And the various Google searches seem to provide quite a number of passing mentions but nothing more. Basically, unless more sources turn up, I doubt that he meets WP:GNG though given his rank, he might meet some other guideline. PWilkinson (talk) 22:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep, with support for a merge if there's a suitable target. Most hits are very passing mentions, but this has a bit of useful content, and also this one, although it is a primary record. Other than that, the snippets suggest that these [2] [3] [4] could also hold more than a trivial mention. While it's true that we expect coverage to be more significant, given the large presence in historical literature I just don't feel comfortable dismissing the subject right away. Regarding a merge, there's an article on the Countship of Elda on es:WP, but no equivalent here. Actually, it would appear that it is customary on en:WP to redirect "Countship of" to the location's article, so the target could be a new History section at Elda. In any case, there's enough out there that we can be certain the title shouldn't be a red link — Frankie (talk) 15:46, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I originally redirected this but that action was undone. While the topic is interesting, this article completely fails to meet WP:GNG.

This page is of a poor quality, having been flagged with multiple problems from over a year and a half ago and longer. This page has demonstrated that it is unlikely to improve on its own after years of low quality. It has overcategorization/category stubs, and is completely redundant with the articles for Terraforming and Geoengineering. More importantly, it seems to be suffering from Wikipedia:FUTURE by predicting increased or decreased 'difficulty of colonizing' extra terrestrial worlds, by comparing Venus and Mars. Wikipedia can't know what is more or less likely in the future based on un-invented technology. Any claims to the contrary are forms of appealing to personal incredulity. I therefore move that this page be changed to a redirect to Terraforming or Geoengineering, or be completely rewritten. IllNeverUseThisAccount (talk) 10:52, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep Concerns are over problems with the article, no problems about deletion. Just because an article is in bad shape doesn't mean it shouldn't have one. Deletions are based on notability, etc, actually. Doesn't matter what the "quality" is. TBrandley 11:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
TBrandley is actively stonewalling improvements to the article, and being disingenuous in suggesting that only notability is a factor.

This is pure original research. The lead claim, for example, starts with "is often regarded as" which is a red flag for original research and is based on references that make no mention of the triple crown. The fact that only one person actually won it shows that it is not a widely used term and is not worth of an article. Biker Biker (talk) 10:29, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References 6,7, 8 and 10 do specifically mention the term. Suggesting it is widely used? Ian Dalziel (talk) 11:17, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As Ian Dalziel points out, at least 4 of the references specifically mention the term and sources such as ESPN, autoracing.com and Sports Car Digest confirm the definitions provided in the article, which would seem to counter the suggestion of original research. And about 1 million Google hits suggest it's a fairly widely used term. The lead says "often regarded as" due to the alternative definitions for the term. DH85868993 (talk) 14:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – clearly quite well-referenced although some more work could be done. I don't see much evidence of OR, if any, and the nominator's claim that "the fact that only one person actually won it shows that it is not a widely used term" is a total non-sequitur. Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep – It is a term I have known well, but upon research into my "F1 Library", I find little reference to the Triple Crown of Motorsport. I was looking for Graham Hill, and only one of the places noted that he won the three "blue riband" events or something along those lines. These books are F1-specific books, however, and made little of anything Hill did outside of F1, his path to F1 and his death. I believe the Triple Crown of Motorsport is noteworthy enough to be an article. I also agree with Bretonbanquet that the fact only one person won it doesn't make it unnotable, it means it is difficult to achieve. —Gyaro–Maguus— 15:21, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Clearly a well established concept. Just because the achievement is rare does not mean its unnotable. Nor that it is informal. Grand Slams in Tennis and Golf are informal yet well recognised. If you search the term in connection with drivers who have gone very close to matching the achievement, like Mario Andretti, Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Pablo Montoya you will find more material. Additionally the article was purged some time back of material that was original research, leaving behind that which is referenced. So these concerns have already been tested. --Falcadore (talk) 16:02, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:PROF#C2 -- the AAAL award is a lifetime achievement award which, while low money, is mainly won by composers in the upper echelon of composition (consider the level of the other winners that year). Her position is full professor at a top music school, which is substantially above the Average Professor Test. The commission by the Orchestra of Saint Luke's is also a high honor (the other commissions don't individually pass the WP:PROF test, but cumulatively they do). Saying "Non-notable" isn't, to me, an argument in itself for deletion -- it's a conclusion to be reached based on evidence of lack of notability -- the website of the AAAL is a reliable source for who their winners are and the websites of the orchestras are reliable sources of who their commissioned composers are. I agree with AllyD that trimming the article of 2/3 of its content (including a notice about a commission of hers that appeared in the New York Times!) just before nominating for deletion is bad form. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 00:43, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - As with religious topics, they will rarely receive any significant news coverage but Google News archives found one minor mention here (third result from the top, disregarding the Wikipedia result); Google Books provided what seem to be directories but nothing useful. As the nominator notes, Google Maps Street view confirms the image provided is indeed the church and it seems to be fairly small and probably has an all-Hispanic audience. Additionally, I haven't found an official website for this church suggesting this is indeed a small church thus not notable. SwisterTwister talk 21:00, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think these articles should be nominated separately. Some of them, like the Akademio de Esperanto, look like obvious keeps to me. Others, like the Kurso de Esperanto, will take more research to verify whether or not they fail WP:GNG. Having these as a joint nomination will make things confusing for the borderline cases here. Would you like me to separate the nominations for you? It won't be too much trouble. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 13:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that the Pasporta Servo is sufficiently notable that it should not be deleted: as the article mentions, it is the second most essential publication, next to the Plena Ilustrita Vortaro. It is an essential part of Esperanto culture. --Wh44 4:08 PM 27 November 2012 (UTC)

This is five different questions, and should be the subject of five different discussions. It is hard to assume good faith when such obvious speedy keeps as the Akademio are on this list. Since I'm a known Esperantist, I ask that some non-involved admin close this nomination immediately, then suggest to EAA that he/she start five separate discussions. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:36, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid you did not look on the French page carefully enough as on the French page it is a Jacques Nicolas Lmmens the famous organ player.

Why you want to delete the Jean-Nicolas Lemmens page is without a valuable reason ? It has significance for the B.C. Canada people as he was the bishop of St. Andrew Cathedral and layed the first stone for that Cathedral.

  • Keep - there are a few GoogleBooks hits which seem to discuss his contribution in the context of a wider view of Canadian Catholic history. There's also one which would seem to provide some details (biographical) by way of an obituary not long after his death. However, I'm struggling to source online links and most of the content is in French anyway. WP:NOENG provides for sources in languages other than English (they can all be in French - there's not requirement for them to be in English) but my limited French and lack of access to the texts themselves means checking reliability of the sources is going to be a struggle. That aside, there seems to be a contention that all bishops are (by default) considered notable. I'm not a huge of all x are notable arguments without some more to back it up, but everything combined would suggest this article should be kept. Stalwart111 03:43, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/merge with customer sovereignty. Given the evidence by Xerographical, I am convinced that if this article gets merged anywhere, it should be to that article. In fact, I am more inclined to merge. But the inclusionist within me can also see the subtle differences between them (sometimes you need multiple articles on the exact same topic, from the perspective of different discourses), and would therefore also accept a keep.--Coin945 (talk) 22:13, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge Consider this passage...
Wal-Mart can’t charge more; if it does, its customers will go elsewhere. The same is true of Target and Costco. In a sense, Wal-Mart is the elected representative of tens of millions of hard-bargaining shoppers, and, like any representative, it serves only at their pleasure. - James Surowiecki, The Customer is King
This doesn't really seem to fit, at least from my perspective, with the customer always being right. The customer is always right seems to be more of a customer service mantra...while the customer is king is perhaps a bit broader...to include the suitability/desirability of new goods/services...as well as prices. In other words...the customer is always right is style while the customer is king is both style and substance. So perhaps it could just be merged into consumer sovereignty...but personally...I'd prefer to just keep it and allow it to develop. If it fails to be differentiated enough...then we can debate merging. --Xerographica (talk) 21:36, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete After reading other people's comments I see that "the customer is king" can also be about Consumer sovereignty, as a factual statement. As well as about customer service, as advice or policy.

There are 123,000 search results for "consumer sovereignty" but 3,510,000 results for "The customer is king". When people search for "the customer is king" why wouldn't we want them to find the Wikipedia article on the subject? If anything...consumer sovereignty should redirect to the customer is king. In fact, the only reason that any of you even know about the consumer sovereignty article is because I mentioned it. Yet I'm sure that many...most...of you have already heard of the expression that the customer is king. That's pretty conclusive evidence that the title of the article should be "the customer is king". --Xerographica (talk) 01:08, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, this is excessive detail and some of it trivial (for the acronym-hungry out there, probably more WP:IINFO than WP:NOTDIR, FWIW). For comic book characters, it's appropriate to have in a fictional character's article a bibliography of titles about that character, but only in abbreviated form, not issue-by-issue as this does. Longstanding consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics (which I agree with here) is also that listing every appearance in every comic book is unnecessary and not encyclopedic because it does end up being trivial for many characters who have had many such appearances, most of which don't accomplish anything lasting in terms of developing the character. Here, we're dealing with a 70-year old character that DC Comics has frequently trotted out as a deux ex machina in other superhero titles. postdlf (talk) 21:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication that the topic is significantly covered in sources. The list does not appear to be notable. See also, Afd: List of films featuring diabetes. – Zntrip 05:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I don't see how featuring home invasion is a notable attribute of films. JIP | Talk 06:53, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom & above comment. Seems to be listcruft. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, if only to stop this being closed per WP:SNOW. I think it warrants greater discussion and I'd be interested to read others' thoughts on lists like these, which I can well imagine having genuine utility for some of our readers. In addition, the nominator's statement that the sources don't cover this topic does seem to be contradicted by those used to reference this list, the first of which is titled ... "Terror From Inside: 10 Home Invasion Classics". Steve T • C 19:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the home invasion theme in film is defined and given significant coverage in scholarly sources. For example:
The Home Invasion Theme in French Cinema Since 1995 Quarterly Review of Film and Video, Volume 28, Issue 3, 2011
or -- Allison Whitney's essay in The Cell Phone Reader discussing the "tradition of home-invasion scenarios" in film (referenced in the article.)
or -- "Race and Real Estate in Panic Room and The People Under The Stairs" Quarterly Review of Film and Video Volume 30, Issue 1, 2013 discusses the "commonalities with many late-twentieth and early twenty-first century home invasion films.")
The theme is also well-referenced in pop culture: Tribeca Film festival, Cinegeek, etc. A google search finds no shortage of the term as it relates to movies in reliable sources. And, finally, each item on the list is cited to a source. — CactusWriter (talk) 20:32, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per analysis by CactusWriter. I note that the list is far from complete, and can think of several easily sourcable and notable films off the top of my head that feature home invasions. IE how about those in the Home Alone (franchise)? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:22, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — In response to CactusWriter's comment, while there may be sufficient sources about the topic, there is a difference between an article entitled "Home invasion in film" and "List of films featuring home invasions". While a significant recurring plot element may be notable enough to warrant an individual article, a simple list of films featuring that plot element is not. I do not see the utility in such a list of films. That said, if someone would like to rename the article so that it has the potential to be expanded beyond a simple list, I will be willing to withdraw the nomination. – Zntrip 23:32, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Zntrip, your rationale for this AFD is "no indication" of significant coverage or notability. Comments addressed the issue -- to demonstrate coverage and notability -- which I believe has been done adequately. You are now shifting to something else entirely. So... as far as a stub article requiring expansion: I agree that the article's single sentence introduction is skimpy -- and it should be expanded to provide an overview of the subject. (As suggested by our MOS guidelines for stand-alone lists). However, an article needing expansion is not a valid criteria for deletion. — CactusWriter (talk) 17:55, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article, in its current form cannot expand beyond what it currently is: a list of films. The scope of the article is so narrow and no amount of sources will change that. For a list of films depicting X to meet the criteria for notability, the list itself has to be notable; it is not sufficient to demonstrate that X in film is notable. – Zntrip 19:55, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Zntrip, Wikipedia allows categories, lists, and navigation templates, which can overlap. The list form serves this topic best because it is an approach that provides a clear reference for listing a film that features a home invasion. (In contrast, films directed by a filmmaker are less immediately disputed and can be in a category or a navigation template.) As you said, there "may be sufficient sources", and I would argue that there is enough at least for a stand-alone list, and I quoted the notability guidelines for stand-alone lists below. These guidelines are distinct from guidelines applied to a prose article because it mentions that references that share sets of items (namely, films that feature home invasion) can be the basis for a list on Wikipedia itself. I'm not sure why you think that this topic cannot just be a list of films. If a reader enjoyed a film that featured home invasion, should Wikipedia not be able to share similar films of this type, explicitly backed by reliable sources?

  • Keep as a notable list. (Note: I am the creator of the article.) Of the set of references in the article, there are four that identify a set of films that feature home invasion. The other references are acceptable because they each identify a film that features home invasion, which is appropriate per the guidelines for stand-alone lists, "A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." Like I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films featuring diabetes, I do not think there is enough content out there for a Home invasion in film prose article. The guidelines I quote clearly allow a space for such lists, which benefit readers on Wikipedia. This is a relatively marginal topic, to be sure, but the films have been identified in sets by secondary sources, and the topic is highlighted in additional references. Erik (talk | contribs) 22:57, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Pardon me for quoting at length, but A Companion to Alfred Hitchcock (from which I reference six films) says the following: "More recently, however, the 'home invasion movie' has become something of a genre... [The referenced films] are among a string of recent films in which the violation of the home is at issue. Such films reflect an increased fear of the erosion of distinctions between private and public space, already present in Hitchcock's mistaken identity films. These films also reflect a sense that the outside world is more dangerous and unpredictable than ever before. Finally, the home in these films can be seen as a practical substitute for the family: a static, physical symbol of what is, in our current society, fractured and changeable. Of course, replacing an organic idea like the family with a static, material one like the home limits the depth and variety of what can be expressed." This is clear fodder for this topic and could be used to expand the lead section. Erik (talk | contribs) 10:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    I would say that home invasion is a different type of article; it is one about crime. This list article is more film-centric in terms of art and entertainment and related critical studies. In short, I don't think the list of films fits comfortably with the main article's primary context of crime. Erik (talk | contribs) 17:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per Ticket:2012112510000767, this article has been nominated for the following reason:

My guess is that Mr. Hope wrote this article about himself to add credibility to his business projects. You should know that I also found (negative BLP claim redacted), as well as Youtube videos he made where he claims to work at Stanford University, which is not true.

I know you cannot police every Wikipedia article. But, I would suggest you insist this author either substantiate his claims or take down his article. I am not a person who likes to stir trouble. But, I am afraid that older, vulnerable people might see the article on Wikipedia, assume it is fact, and be hurt by a deceitful person. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was able (through a passworded account) to confirm that he DID in fact receive MD and PhD degrees from Stanford in 1999. His book "COURAGE" appears to be self-published.[19] --MelanieN (talk) 00:34, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was not able to confirm anything else, and many of the claims in the article seem very dubious. ...which makes him today "The Father of Adult Stem Cells". I could not confirm that anyone else calls him this. Hope was the first to discover and publish the then unthinkable concept of "re-embryonalization of adult differentiated cells. I could find no such publication at PubMed or Google Scholar, where his articles are minimal and his citation level unremarkable. Furthermore, the article claims that he made this breakthrough in 1986, when he was 20; he did not receive his doctoral degrees until 1999. Hope has been mentored by Linus Pauling. Linus Pauling never worked on stem cells that I can find, and he was only at Stanford from 1969 to 1972[20] - in other words when Hope was a small child. Basically there is a lot of unconfirmed and unlikely material in this article, and what can be confirmed does not make him notable.--MelanieN (talk) 00:56, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:GNG. The only claim to notability is the top50crafters website which imo is not a reliable source for many reasons, the first of which is it looks strongly like a cheap website made with a site such as webs.com etc., and secondly it seems to allow anyone to be able to add whatever they want as long as they're the owner of the business, which makes it fail reliability again.

A Google News and Google Books search provides mainly results for The Living End and his character, Luke, but nothing significant for Mike Dytri himself. A Google News search for his company, Ludwig Van, provided nothing relevant. My last resort for his company was searching with a main Google search which provided blogs here and here.

An Individual department in a good quality research university . No evidence of particular notability. Our usual standard is to be one of the half-dozen or so highest ranking departments in the world, (or , equivalently, of world-famous.) I note there are no 3rd party references-- except for the most famous departments, this will usually be the case, which is why they almost always fail notability

No evidence of particular distinction even within the country. Lists of r teaching programs is not encyclopedic content. There is nothing here that is not covered in the departments web site. and almost everything about the academic program will be of interest only to students there or prospective students.

since the School was not founded until 2004, I doubt any of the books about the university listed on the main university page would cover it; they were published earlier. The references you added were one to the university's own news bulletin, one to a news service announcement about the appointment of a professor, and one about a single contest by their student programming team in which they placed 12th overall.

Per WP:HAMMER. — ṞṈ™ 07:18, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. WP:HAMMER states that "If the name and track order of a future album are not yet known, the album is very likely to have its page deleted from Wikipedia". Both are known here, so the essay you quoted does not indicate deletion. In fact, the album has already received a fair amount of coverage, e.g. NME, The Fly, This Is Fake DIY, Clash, XfM, Entertainment Focus, PopMatters. Personally, I would prefer that people wait until there is more to be said before they create articles on future albums, but given that the album is out in 2 months and that more coverage will appear between now and then, deletion seems pointless. --Michig (talk) 07:53, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there are limited amount of coverage regarding the album. The tracklisting is very clear but the track order and release format is yet to be announced. However, given that it is 2 months til its scheduled release, deletion is pointless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.51.134 (talk) 18:23, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The added (very recent) picture of a very basic and original Model A Tudor does not support this article. -Rather, the picture is just oddly included in this stub irregardless of the picture Not being related in anyway to a Flathead V8 engine (Model A's had 4 cylinders or 'Bangers' as they are often called). -The included picture does nothing to substantiate the stub (It's just a nicely restored Model A) but perhaps somebody threw the picture up to help support this unfounded stub.

Individual received media attention solely because of the events of a single basketball game, and as a athlete at a small, otherwise non-noteworthy university, has no other claims of notability. His achievement of a record does not automatically confer notability. Grsz 11 03:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Wikipedia:NCOLLATH specifically states that college athletes Are notable if they "Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major Division I (NCAA) record.". Taylor set the single game scoring mark for all divisions - this achievement is the highest total achieved in any college basketball game ever in any classification in over 100 years of competition. Additionally, Taylor's US coverage over this achievement has been covered by even major non-sports news agencies and has been commented upon by Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and others. Rikster2 (talk) 13:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Rikster, I have not yet researched this AfD to the extent I normally do, but I do note that WP:NCOLLATH imparts a presumption of notability if, among other things, the player "established a major Division I (NCAA) record." Grinnell University sports teams compete in NCAA Division III, not Division I. I think it's important that we start this AfD with full and accurate facts. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply - yes, the section I bolded specifically states that. This record is all divisions and frankly, if any record in basketball is notable it's a scoring reord. This would never have gotten the press it did if he'd grabbed some ungodly number of rebounds or assists. There are less than 5 people who have scored 100+ points in any official college game. Rikster2 (talk) 17:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rikster, WP:NCOLLATH specifically requires a "major Division I record," not an "all-divisions record." It may very well be that the subject satisfies the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, but any reliance on WP:NCOLLATH is clearly misplaced. The subject scored 138 points against a team from Faith Baptist Bible College, a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division 2, not the NCAA or even the NAIA. The NCCAA includes small Christian colelges that are otherwise too small to qualify for NCAA or NAIA membership. The circumstances under which this record were set are a bit like a large high school team beating the crap out of an undersized team from a junior high school. Yes, it's an NCAA record, but it's not a Division I record, and it's not what is explicitly required by WP:NCOLLATH. Let's focus this AfD discussion on whether the subject meets WP:GNG, as we should in the absence of any applicable specific notability guideline. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:18, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would argue both the achievement and the coverage it spurred (for a reason) are notable. The coverage was there because he's the first guy in over 50 years to go over 100 in any official game (regardless of competition) and beat the old record by more than 20 points. The press has followed the achievement because it is so rare. Rikster2 (talk) 20:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of basketball-related deletion discussions. Rikster2 (talk) 16:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (Disclaimer: I started this article.) While the guideline - not rule - says Division I, in a strong sense, "all" supercedes Division I. In any case, as Rister2 has noted, this event has generated a lot of media attention. On a side note: to call Grinnell "a small, otherwise non-noteworthy university" is inaccurate: Grinnell is a small college (not university) that is noteworthy in a number of ways outside of sports. Kdammers (talk) 04:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kdammers, most of us appreciate candor, and the author of an article is entitled to express his opinion at AfD just like any other Wikipedia editor in good standing, especially if he expresses valid reasons based in Wikipedia policy and sound logic. With regard to WP:NCOLLATH, it is intentionally written the way it is for a reason: in short, level of competition. To be perfectly blunt, NCAA Division I sports competition is almost universally of a higher level than that of Division II and III. Only in rare circumstances will an individual college athlete at the Division II or III level prove himself to be competing at an equal or higher level compared to the best athletes in Division I. That having been said, I believe that there is more than enough mainstream medial coverage of this record to justify including this subject in Wikipedia per the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG. The only reason I have not registered a "keep" vote yet is that I wanted to check on the application of the "one event" exception per WP:BLP1E, and also to see how we had handled other college-level record-setters in similar circumstances. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would say there is no strong sense that a record among all levels supercedes that of Division I. The level of competition is nowhere near comparable even between two Division III teams. In this case, the opponent was of far lower quality, having less students than Jack Taylor's high school. I haven't been able to find any mention of the record by the NCAA. One would think that if their record was broken they would at least make some mention. I'm not sure what their criteria is, but do they recognize records against non-NCAA opponents? Grsz 11 14:14, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just for grins, here is the article from NCAA.com on Taylor "Crushing" the previous NCAA mark: http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2012-11-20/taylor-crushes-ncaa-single-game-scoring-record-25-points Apparently, Taylor broke 6 other NCAA records in the game. Rikster2 (talk) 16:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Grsz, as I pointed out above, the application of WP:NCOLLATH is moot. It does not apply. If you are seeking to support your AfD nomination, I suggest that you focus on the subject's notability per WP:GNG or other bases for a valid AfD. Per WP:GNG, the level of competition and NCAA recognition, if any, of the record mean very little; notability will be determined by the quantity and quality of reliable sources. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Since Taylor is the NCAA record holder, there's going to be long-term interest in what he accomplished, so it seems like a good idea to cover him in Wikipedia, even if he never goes on to the pros. People will want to have something more than just an entry in a list. In this particular case, I'm not too concerned about BLP1E. He didn't commit a crime, or anything like that, and moving the page to Jack Taylor's 138 point game seems unnecessarily complicated. I should note that Grinnell College is actually one of the better-known DIII colleges, even in a basketball context. Because of their style of play, they'd been featured on ESPN in the past: [27] They're certainly not Duke or UNC, but there is interest in the program. All of their stats will be available online, so we know that we'll at least be able to expand the article to summarize the rest of his college career. (But I'm sure there will eventually be some sort of "Where are they now?" article about him.) Zagalejo^^^ 06:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep I'm not going to cite NCOLLATH due to others lawyering its word choice in notability criteria, but Jack Taylor garnered so much media coverage that he personally led off SportsCenter the morning after he scored 138 points. He's received international attention (or scrutiny, depending on one's opinion) for this achievement, and he plays for one of the best-known Division III basketball programs due to their insane style of offensive play. His 138 points shattered Bevo Francis' record by over 20 points, one which was thought to be unbreakable, and at this point Taylor's record will likely stand for eternity (who honestly thinks someone will come along and score 139?). It's premature to add this to AfD, especially because for the rest of this season Taylor (and Grinnell, probably) will garner continued media coverage beyond a ONEEVENT situation. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:BLP1E would be the strongest reason to merge or delete, but the policy applies "only to biographies of low-profile individuals." Scoring the most points in NCAA history, even if it wasn't in Division I, differentiates him from being low-profile based on the media's fascination with the historic achievement. Articles still being written almost a week later. Pretty confident that GNG will be obvious years from now even if one argues that it hasn't been already.—Bagumba (talk) 17:45, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've since expanded and added additional sources to the article, and believe it has been demonstrated to meet WP:GNG. The subject is receiving significant coverage over multiple days—these are not trivial mentions syndicated by a single news source that is part of a one-day news blip.—Bagumba (talk) 19:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • We have very different opinions on what constitutes significant coverage over multiple-days. A follow-up article about the fact that he was mediocre the next game or about how he still goes to class, from a local news source no less, is not significant coverage.

  • Delete per WP:BLP1E. I think this is pretty clear cut, especially since the record was produced by the gimmick system Grinnell runs. The fact that a teammate who held the previous record scored only seven point in this game shows that. Everyone is pointing out that the event received significant coverage, but BLP1E specifically calls out this case in that these reliable sources are only covering him for this one game. There are followup articles, but only comparing this game to the previous game. If the 138-point game never happened, he'd never be getting followup stories. Everyone is also pointing out that this is the ALL DIVISION NCAA record. This doesn't seem to be a valid point to me, since it was against inferior competition. It's like if I scored 138 points in the driveway against my sister. There's no way I could score that many against a high school team. — X96lee15 (talk) 03:49, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just for the sake of clarification, so that people don't get confused, the teammate mentioned above (Griffin Lentsch) held the DIII record, but not the overall NCAA scoring record. (And while Lentsch did score 89 points, that's still 49 points behind Taylor.) It is true that Taylor had the benefit of a quirky strategy and an inferior opponent, but a record is a record. He's going to be in sports reference books no matter what. Zagalejo^^^ 06:55, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia isn't a sports reference book. We don't have articles just because somebody broke a record, however dubious the accomplishment. I think the follow-up article after the next game saying he only scored 21 points is strong evidence that Taylor will fade into obscurity within a matter of weeks. Grsz 11 15:19, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per BLP1E, articles on a person are OK in "the case that the event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented". There is no reason to override GNG in this case.—Bagumba (talk) 19:27, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your "range of coverage over multiple days" is a bunch of articles one day, then a few after the next game. Is the national media going to write an article about him every week now for the rest of the season? Doubtful. Grsz 11 20:23, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG kEEP. I think the article answered my questions and is well-written and it would be stupid to eliminate it. This is something people want to know.

"If the 138-point game never happened, he'd never be getting followup stories" - Yeah - beacuse the 138 point game was an all-time record for points in a college basketball game! Honestly, I find the voiced concerns that the record isn't notable because of the system Grinnell playes or the level of competition ridiculous. In 100+ years of college basketball play, thousands of players have played against overmatched opponents and many have played in offensive oriented systems (the all time single game scoring record against a D1 opponent is held by Kevin Bradshaw, who played in almost the exact same type of system at US International). Did Grinnell actively try to get Taylor the record? Absolutely, but ANY player who gets that number of points had that kind of help. Heck, when Wilt scored 100, the Warriors intentionally fouled the Knicks in the fourth quarter just to get the ball back so they could feed Wilt again. Not in their best competitive interest, but they did it. No, Wikipedia isn't a Sports Almanac, but we also aren't talking about some Assist/Turnover record either. This is the most points in an official college basketball game EVER, one of 4 100+ point games in college basketball history EVER, and the highest single game point total in US basketball history - college, high school or pro - EVER. The comparisons to a high school team against a junior high team or scoring points on one's sister in the driveway are amusing, but off base. The record was obtained by a college player in a regulation game against another college (not junior college, not prep school, not high school, not JV) team. I think it is a no-brainer that a short article on the all-time record holder for college basketball's highest-profile individual record should exist. Rikster2 (talk) 01:57, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, you probably shouldn't be calling other arguments "ridiculous". Second, as pointed out above, the opponent is a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association -- and Division II at that. Also, the game was an exhibition for Faith Baptist Bible College. The level of competition is definitely in question to me here. — X96lee15 (talk) 06:11, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then perhaps you shouldn't make snarky comments like comparing this to playing your sister but instead just stick to your points. When a ridiculous argument is made, I will feel free to point that out. And the level of competition doesn't stop this from being recognized by the NCAA as the all-time record, as evidenced by the story from the NCAA's own site. I didn't say it wasn't a factor in the point total, I said it makes no difference to the siginificance of the achievement from a historical standpoint - and it doesn't Rikster2 (talk) 08:21, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, please stop calling other's arguments ridiculous. I was making a comparison to a real-world situation so that people not familiar with the NCAA and NCCAA would understand the disparity in the level of competition during this exhibition game. — X96lee15 (talk) 14:17, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Correction, not an exhibition game for Grinnell. This is evidenced not only by the NCAA counting the scoring output as the all time record, but they clearly count the Faith Baptist game as part of the school's overall record here, and the conference and school do the same. additionally, while they do mark the Grinnell game as an exhibition on their schedule (every non NCCAA game seems to be marked as such - probably because it helps their statistics), Faith Baptist seems to count David Larson's 70 points in the game their new school record - a highly unusual move if they truly saw the game as an exhibition. But regardless, the game was legit enough for the NCAA (the largest governing body of the sport in the US and the one that governs Grinnell College) to count the feat as the all division record - which IMO renders biases to the contrary moot. Rikster2 (talk)
  • Keep. Having reviewed the sources available regarding the subject to date, I am satisfied that he and/or his record satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. I was less convinced that the subject was not a "one-hit" wonder, subject to the "one event" exception per WP:BLP1E. However, please note the following quoted language from WP:BLP1E: "some subject specific notability guidelines such as Wikipedia:Notability (sports) provide criteria that may support the notability of certain individuals who are known chiefly for one event." This exception to the "one event" exception seems to cover exactly this sort of notable sports event. I might also add that I explored whether Wikipedia has an appropriate "list of" article that includes American college basketball record-holders; we do not. So, congratulations, Mr. Jack Taylor, I think you get to have your very own Wikipedia article. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the election is over, this article is truly unnecessary. The people listed in the article were never "candidates" in any way, but rather prominent Republicans whose names were mentioned by media pundits. The article is just what the media saw in their WP:CRYSTALBALL, not encyclopedic material. Besides my opposition to the inclusion of the meaningless prognostications of the media's talking heads—several of these "candidates" had clearly declined interest months before the announcement, and others (Trump) are nonsense—there is no need for a separate article for this information. Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012#Vice-presidential selection could easily be expanded with prose with what information isn't already there, as well as a few shortlisted candidates; a photo gallery is unnecessary.

  • Very Strong Delete Edison is right on here. This is the exact definition of original research, a race does not exist for the vice president of the United States. There's isn't really much campaigning and so forth for the job. The presidential nominee is the one who decides to become his vice presidential running mate. This article is just media speculation on who Romney might select for vice president or politicians stating they may be interested if picked. That's not what Wikipedia is used for. If there was actual campaigning for the job, it's a clear keep of course, but there wasn't as far as we know, if there was that's a whole different news story (and article) of course.

  • I disagree that this ceases to be of encyclopedic value now that the election is over, because a major party candidate's campaign decisions are of lasting historical importance. WP:CRYSTALBALL is also inapplicable because this isn't unverifiable Wikipedia editor speculation, but rather in the vein of "[p]redictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field..." That said, this probably could be merged to Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012, by condensing the whole media speculation section into a prose paragraph or two. Cataloging every name ever thrown out there is excessive and unnecessary, let alone expanding it into a picture gallery. Instead, the main names considered should be discussed with attribution, and maybe a "other possibilities considered were X, Y, and Z" sentence or two. The sections on the campaign selection process and on the announcement should definitely stay (in whichever article these end up) and perhaps be expanded, as that's the real substance of the topic. If kept separately, this should also be renamed per my comment above as the current title is an inaccurate description. postdlf (talk) 18:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • One further observation: major media outlets are themselves major players in U.S. presidential campaigns, particularly since much of the "speculation" they are reporting on is not simply a trivial game of trying to guess an outcome, but instead made by pundits or other politicians who are deliberately trying to influence the selection process or public opinion about the campaign, or even the result of campaign leaks to test the waters with various names (all of which I am confident could ultimately be explained and sourced).

Per Postdlf's arguments, the content has lasting encyclopedic value, but probably not so much as to justify an entire article (and certainly not a picture gallery!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddcm8991 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The problem I have with this article is that it confuses announced, rumored, and never-serious candidates. It also confuses candidacy to be Romney's VP-candidate with candidacy in the presidential election. A bit about vice-president considerations under the 2012 presidential election/campaign articles would suffice.

  • Delete. With rare exceptions (e.g. Mike Gravel in 1972), people do not "run" for the vice presidential nomination and thus are not "candidates". The article just collects a lot of media speculation, all of which is irrelevant since the only view that mattered was Romney's and he only seriously considered a handful of people. Some of the entries put in the article show a complete lack of understanding of American politics on the part of the WP editors involved: for example, there was never even a remote chance that Romney would pick Rand Paul or Nikki Haley or Donald Trump (!). So both the rationale for the article (there are candidates) and the content of the article (who the candidates were) are completely off-base. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE, criteria 3: Excessive listings of statistics. — ṞṈ™ 15:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've read your consideration for deletion of this article (YouTube statistics) and I was wondering what exactly does violate the WP:INDISCRIMINATE, criteria 3: Excessive listings of statistics. Is it the small amount of text (which shouldn't be a problem, if I look at the article like this, or this or is it the table with the listing of the top 30 YouTube channels (which I think is relevant to the topic)? Thanks, Michal Smetana (talk) 14:38, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from violating WP:INDISCRIMINATE, I have considered that the topic, overall, fails to meet notability guidelines. Has any source discussed all the statistics of YouTube as a whole? Or how the most viewed channels have evolved? Also, why did you only add the "Number of Uploaded Video Views"? Why not sorting this too by channel subscription? or by number of videos? or by most watched video? [I can go on...] — ṞṈ™ 23:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An Individual department in a good quality research university. No evidence of particular notability. Our usual standard is to be one of the half-dozen or so highest ranking departments in the world, (or , equivalently, of world-famous.) I note the only 3rd party references are to various faculty publications-- except for the most famous departments, this will usually be the case, which is why they almost always fail notability

No evidence of particular distinction even within the country. Lists of research groups, and joint programs is not encyclopedic content. There is nothing here that is not covered in the departments web site. and almost everything about the academic program will be of interest only to students there or prospective students.

To anticipate a possible argument, having a few notable faculty is not sufficient: since most full professors at major research universities in the world have been judged notable here, using such a standard would make every department in every research university notable. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a policy of doing that, but it is not our present practice. DGG ( talk ) 21:59, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That Nepali Times article, if it is even a reliable source, barely say anything about this album. Several brief reviews in reliable sources suggest that the album is worth covering here but I still feel a merge to the group article might be the best approach. You have flooded this discussion with examples of coverage but it would be more useful to identify (and provide links to) a few sources that are genuinely reliable and also give the album coverage beyond brief reviews and mentions. --Michig (talk) 15:56, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is a borderline case, and the sources cited vary from trivial transactions column to routine game/season mentions, with one exception.

The result was keep. Arguments based on WP:SPECULATION, WP:NDESC, WP:POVNAMING, and WP:ALLEGED are not grounds for deletion of an article and have consequently been discounted. They may be grounds for cleaning up the article, but this should be taken care of with normal editing. I offer no opinion on whether the article does actually contain these faults and these closing remarks should not be taken as encouraging (or discouraging) any such editing. Arguments based on WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS are grounds for deletion, but only if the article consists entirely of OR or is otherwise irretrievable. Otherwise it should be merely cleaned up. The majority in this debate argued not only that there was verifiable content, but none of the article was OR. WP:POVFORK is the only policy based argument which would call for outright deletetion, but those bringing this case failed to convince that there is another article which this is a fork of. The only other deletion argument raised is that this is some kind of WP:NOT case, I suppose meaning that political controversies should not be covered in Wikipedia. There is no policy or precedent basis for this position (although I really wish there was because it would save the heartache of a lot of difficult closes like this one). Against this, the keep camp produced strong WP:V and WP:N arguments which have the debate. I recommend that any further AfD brought here in less than six months should be speedy closed.

Allegations of support system in Pakistan for Osama bin Laden

Article was created a year ago by a now-banned sockmaster. It is a combination of one-WP:POV viewpoints, all clubbed together in a recipe to form a WP:SYNTHESIS piece. There are far too many problems in this article and they have been there for quite a long time and have not been fixed since the last nomination. I do not see why the content present here cannot be discussed in a more concise manner in the main Death of Osama bin Laden article. Moreover, an official US assessment has has concluded that "Pakistan did not know the whereabouts of Al Qaeda leader before the US raid" [36], [37]. In the wake of this conclusion, even "allegations" would not be an entirely impartial term to use; "conspiracy theories" is a better alternative and I see no reason why there should be an article on a stack of conspiracy theories. This is a textbook definition of WP:SOAP, IMO. As I have mentioned earlier, the text here belongs to Death of Osama bin Laden, if it should be mentioned anywhere at all.

Also Manhunt: From 9/11 to Abbottabad - the Ten-Year Search for Osama bin Laden discusses these allegations, bin Laden must have had Pakistan support network, says Obama Obama presses Pakistan over Bin Laden's support network Darkness Shines (talk) 15:23, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The first source you mention is dated a day after the operation and is not "Pakistan" acknowledging, but is rather the opinion of Hussain Haqqani - and let's not get started on the authoritativeness of a man who is a known anti-military mouthpiece and is currently in court for possible treason. The Obama link that you quote is old and dated 9 May 2011 - and here is the opening text: "Barack Obama has ratcheted up the pressure on Pakistan, demanding that the Pakistani government investigate whether its own people were involved in a network to support Osama bin Laden in his Abbottabad hideout." He is referring to the government. Please go through the most recent news links, which imply that an official US conclusion has concurred that there was no sort of support for OBL in Pakistan among the top/government level. With that, everything else becomes irrelevant, trivial and conspiracy theory-esque. What support system, where, by whom and what established proof (if any)? For all I know, even the family living with him in that house could be called the lone support system. Mar4d (talk) 00:14, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well admission by Pakistani Ambassador to US is a major event, won't you say? The subject of the article is about allegations of support system in Pakistan and that, it is demonstrating beautifully. Your claim would have made some sense if the title were support system in Pakistan for Osama bin laden. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 11:09, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep: is this a joke? Periodically nominating an article for deletion like this shows clear lack of faith in the conclusions that were reached by closing editors of previous AFDs.

    NOTE: The comments on the 1st & 2nd nomination still hold true here. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 16:42, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following was written in the previous nomination discussion:

While this may be semi-related to Death of Osama bin Laden, it has more to do with Pakistan's actions while bin Laden was alive, so a merge there would be inappropriate. These action are widely reported see, and notable, so this certainly warrants an article.

—I think it's relevant here also. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 16:56, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think I ought to give a more elaborate explanation here as well. This has substantial coverage in mainstream sources (using similar language to our own Article Name) and easily verified. This meets WP:GNG. Other problems (if any) don't necessitate deletion (they are surmountable). Point to be noted here is WP:SUBPOV, which says ″Different articles can be legitimately created on subjects which themselves represent points of view, as long as the title clearly indicates what its subject is, the point-of-view subject is presented neutrally, and each article cross-references articles on other appropriate points of view.″ I hope this helps clear the air a little bit.

  • Delete I am going to be the lone voice here. Articles like these should not exist in Wikipedia. They are nothing more than synthesis and piled-on opinion pieces riding on the coattails of recentism that have to be expensively curated for POV and editing disputes. It seems every recent event is prone to bursting into whole series of expansive write-ups like this one. In my humble opinion, this merits nothing more than a few paragraphs in the Bin Laden article with a few supporting references. I went through the previous two AfDs and I have to say it's amazing to see how so many Wikipedians don't mind turning an encyclopedic topic into a rotting link farm. So there it is. §FreeRangeFrog 20:06, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep Nothing has changed since the last AfD, so I see no reason to continue beating a dead horse.

I have gone through the most recent AfD and I see nothing quite convincing which says that there is overwhelming consensus - two consecutive failed nominations don't tell you enough about the situation, you mean? You don't or —should I say, won't— find it convincing that's your problem.

No, there were not too many valid claims. This is not a fringe theory and received significant coverage. The simple fact is that the article might be offensive to some but the problem is, it cannot be the only reason for deletion. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 10:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The main article, Death of Osama bin Laden, is already long enough at 181kb, and it's also a Good Article. This article is notable and the subject received a great deal of coverage, so it is clearly not Synthesis. In fact, this is the proper way to use WP:Summary style: "A fuller treatment of any major subtopic should go in a separate article of its own." First Light (talk) 06:18, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per below:
    1. WP:NDESC and WP:POVNAMING According to Article title policy, descriptive titles should not use non-neutral words or be judgmental. In this article the title implies that some wrongding has been done by Pakistan but not established in the content or any of the sources.
    2. WP:SPECULATION The article currently is merely a collection of speculations as no evidence has been found to support any of the claims, besides some people have even denied claims attributed to them, or have given a contradictory statement.
    3. WP:POVFORK This article is one of the best example of content forking, where the scope of the article is limited by its title. While the subject of the article is already discussed in other articles including Death of Osama bin Laden in a much wider scope.
--SMS Talk 12:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Smsarmad, the page Wikipedia:Article titles actually says, ″The title indicates what the article is about and distinguishes it from other articles.″ I think that's what the title of this article is doing.
  1. The article itself is not a speculation. WP:SPECULATION says, ″All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article″ - the subject of this article has probably received more coverage than most in recent times. All the claims are verified by reliable sources and made by authority figures (High-ranking CIA operatives, VP of global intelligence firm, The President of USA, Foreign Minister of France, Pakistani Ambassador and other international delegates), it is not predicated on WP:SYNTH or WP:OR or a conspiracy theory..
  2. WP:NDESC & WP:POVNAMING how are these even valid here? The page says, ″While neutral terms are generally preferable, this must be balanced against clarity. If a name is widely used in reliable sources (particularly those written in English), and is therefore likely to be well recognized by readers, it may be used even though some may regard it as biased.″
    If you have a problem with the word "alleged", WP:ALLEGED says, ″Alleged and accused are appropriate when wrongdoing is asserted but undetermined, such as with people on trial for crimes. When alleged or accused is used, ensure that the source of the accusation is clear.″ Hence, it's quite vague as to what you're complaining about and why.
  3. See WP:CONTENTFORK actually says, “Different articles can be legitimately created on subjects which themselves represent points of view, as long as the title clearly indicates what its subject is, the point-of-view subject is presented neutrally, and each article cross-references articles on other appropriate points of view.”

    Advice: You ought to read the pages before you use them as a basis for your comments. Wikipedia is not a vote. - Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 16:11, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ever thought of acting upon your own advice? Had you read any of the linked pages you would not be saying so, let me do it for you:
  1. WP:SPECULATION says: "...Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content."
  2. WP:NDESC says: "...In some cases a descriptive phrase is best as the title ... These are often invented specifically for articles, and should reflect a neutral point of view, rather than suggesting any editor's opinions. Avoid judgmental and non-neutral words; for example, allegation implies wrongdoing, and so should be avoided in a descriptive title..."
  3. WP:POVNAMING says: "...Descriptive titles should be worded neutrally, so as not to suggest a viewpoint for or against a topic, or to confine the content of the article to views on a particular side of an issue..."
And WP:ALLEGED is a guideline and can't override a policy, besides it deals with the content of the article not the title. --SMS Talk 17:39, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're quoting out of context, SMSarmad. WP:SPECULATION is not a barrier to the article's existence. The lead says

Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. .... It is not appropriate for editors to insert their own opinions or analyses. Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included

The major problem alluded to here is the inclusion of unverifiable assertions or WP:OR, a criterion which this article passes with flying numbers.
OTOH, the line you quoted was actually regarding rumors about "product announcements". Besides, many of the sources used in the article aren't even speculative, they, with certainty, assert Pakistan's indispensable complicity in keeping Osama safely hidden. This article is really ″bending over backwards to be neutral″ (in First light's words below). And you're free to balance it with more info. Hence, the problems (if any exists at all) are fully surmountable.
  • As far as polices are concerned, this article meets all the criteria mentioned in the main three Policies of Wikipedia:
    • Notability—  certainly,
    Verifiability—  absolutely
    Neutrality— If neutrality means: fair, unbiased and proportionate representation of all significant views to have been published by reliable sources, then I think it does a good job in being neutral. Well, others may have their own views but surely it's a surmountable problem. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 09:05, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to add to my comment above, what some sources call these allegations:
      • C. Christine Fair said : "...we have to be faithful to the evidence and speculation is not evidence. Saying 'someone must have known' is not evidence,"
      • Emi Kolawole said : "The raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound only hours outside of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, has created a firestorm of speculation as to who was involved in helping to shelter the al-Qaeda leader from detection by U.S. and Pakistani intelligence..."
      • The Nation : "While the US has raised speculation about Pakistans involvement in hiding bin Laden..."
      • Ray Suarez said : "And even President Obama has waded into the speculation of how much some Pakistani officials knew of bin Laden's whereabouts"
    --SMS Talk 19:24, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, then those sources should be in the article. That's why the article title included "allegations." But that's not a valid reason for deletion. In fact, it only supports the validity of this article and its title, showing that the subject is widely covered by now even more reliable sources. First Light (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Having sources for some subject is not the only criteria for having an article on that subject. These sources given above are in support of my earlier comment that this article is a collection of speculations. And I find that we have a history of deleting speculative stuff. --SMS Talk 19:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    But the article isn't just speculation.
    • "a report in the Pakistani press in December had quoted him (the former ISI Chief!) as saying that Osama's stay at Abbottabad was arranged by Brigadier (retired) Ijaz Shah, head of the Intelligence Bureau during 2004-2008, on Musharraf's orders."
    • "Panetta (US Defense Secretary) stated that some "lower rank" officers in the military knew where Bin Laden was hiding..."
    • " "Husain Haqqani the former-Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, who earlier said both countries "cooperated in making sure" that the operation leading to bin Laden's death was "successful",[11] has admitted that Osama bin laden indeed had a support system in Pakistan."
    • Haqqani stated, "Obviously, bin Laden did have a support system (in Pakistan)."
    • "WikiLeaks had revealed that a US diplomatic dispatch told the Americans that "many" inside Pakistan knew where bin Laden was." and that "whenever security forces attempted a raid on his hideouts, the enemy received warning of their approach from sources in the security forces."
    But even if it were just speculation, we're talking about speculation by the US President, Secretary of Defense, world leaders everywhere, journalists everywhere, in countless news articles in reliable sources. That type of speculation, by itself, would warrant an article here. In fact, WP:SPECULATION doesn't even cover this sort of commentary by world leaders, journalists, spy agencies on both sides of a subject, and more. First Light (talk) 20:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks like you never read the complete article:
    • The former ISI Chief! not only denied making that statement but also said "It is the hobby of the Western media to distort the facts for their own purposes" (as the news was picked up from Newsweek by Pakistani media).
    • Panetta (US Defense Secretary and Director CIA at the time of OBL operation) in an interview to CBC television, talking about the support network said "...we have not had evidence that provides that direct link"
    • Spokesperson of the US embassy in Islamabad also said that US has no evidence of Pakistan's involvement in supporting Osama bin Laden, while clarifying Leon Panetta's statement.
    • Robert Gates (US Defense Secretary at the time of OBL operation) said, "I have seen no evidence at all that the senior leadership knew. In fact, I've seen some evidence to the contrary,...We have no evidence yet with respect to anybody else. My supposition is, somebody knew."
    • The State department spokesperson also said that US has found no credible evidence for Osama's support network in Pakistan.
    • US Special Operations Commander said, "We have no intelligence that indicates the Pakistanis knew he was there,"
    • The former ambassador (Haqqani) also made a contradictory statement: "...both countries "cooperated in making sure" that the operation leading to bin Laden's death was "successful", and that President Obama called and thanked President Zardari for his cooperation."
    Wide coverage and quotes (in fact speculations and suppositions) by notables doesn't prove anything, neither they deserve coverage here in a separate and dedicated article titled "Allegations of support system in Pakistan for Osama bin Laden". --SMS Talk 08:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Osama bin Laden must have had support network in Pakistan

    "The fact that Bin Laden was living in a large house in a populated area suggests that he must have had a support network in Pakistan. We don't currently know the extent of that network, so it is right that we ask searching questions about it. And we will."

    • Smsarmad, in other words, the article is a combination of evidence and conjecture. I say conjecture rather than speculation because WP:Speculation covers a completely different subject, that of predicting the future of products, movies, etc. by journalists — not statements that combine evidence and conjecture by US Presidents, Defense Secretaries, ISI heads who later recant (no doubt under threats), and other world leaders such as David Cameron. As it stands, this article meets, and even exceeds Wikipedia policies for neutrality, secondary sources (vs. synthesis of primary sources), and yes, 'speculation.' First Light (talk) 18:08, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep, which surprised me. Initially, I looked at this and thought, "Fork City!" But on reviewing the discussion here, and the quotes and sources in the article, I think this could, with many eyes, be kept tame. Bearian (talk) 21:07, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Like Bearian, I was also pleasantly surprised at the article's neutrality and tameness, and impressed with the referencing. Regarding claims of WP:SYNTHESIS, a look at the sources in the article puts a lie to that claim. Many extremely reliable sources have already done the work of putting the concepts together (Bin Laden + support system in Pakistan), so the Wikipedia article is clearly not our own synthesis. Many of the sources even have titled their articles in a way that is similar to ours, though even less neutrally by not including the word "allegations" in their title. Just a few examples:
    • "Obama: Bin Laden must have had Pakistani 'support network'" (USA TODAY)
    • "Osama bin Laden must have had support network in Pakistan" (The Guardian (London))
    • "WikiLeaks: Osama bin Laden 'protected' by Pakistani security" (The Guardian (London))
    • "Osama bin Laden has support network in Pakistan: Australian PM" (News.xinhuanet.com)
    • "Afghanistan: Pakistan Must Have Known bin Laden Was Living in Abbottabad" (Voice of America)
    • "Osama Bin Laden had support system in Pakistan: envoy" (Indian Express)
    • "Osama Bin Laden Killed: U.S. Intelligence Probes Possible Pakistani Support System" (ABC)
    • "Pakistan government knew where Osama was: Carl Levin" (The Express Tribune)
    • "Bin Laden given haven by militants linked to Pakistani security forces" (The Globe and Mail (Canada))
    • and the list goes on.
    You can see that most of the articles about this very subject assumed it was a fait accompli rather than just allegations. Our article title is bending over backward to be neutral, in other words, and is also not synthesis. First Light (talk) 01:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - per First Light and Darkness Shines. The research in the sources FL made above is enough to get the point and partially per Go Phightins! The article is not Synthesis as far as I see and is well sourced using reliable sources, most of which doesn't mention the term "allegations" as said by First Light above. This topic has received ample amount of reliable sources and thus the topic is independently notable enough and presented in an accepted neutral manner, to keep it.

    WP:HAMMER applies. No confirmed track list and no release date means that we have articles only under exceptional circumstances, and I can't see that any exceptional circumstances apply. For those that protest "but it's only an essay", this guidance has been incorporated in WP:NSONGSWP:NALBUMS as well. —Kww(talk) 00:16, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. It is only an essay and it hasn't been incorporated in WP:NSONGS, which wouldn't apply here anyway as this is an article about an album. It looks like this album will probably be released early in 2013, and there is already quite a bit of coverage, but with no confirmed tracks for the album it's possible that anything recorded so far might not make it onto the album. I think the best approach here would be to merge anything verifiable and particularly relevant to the Jessie J article, and incubate this article so that it can be worked on until we have some more certainty about the album itself. --Michig (talk) 07:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't suggest that the latter applies here, but it may well do at some point before we have a full tracklisting and confirmed release date, which is why I would favour incubation so that editors can continuing building it up until it's ready. --Michig (talk) 14:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Incubate. Album articles like this one are a bit tricky because I agree with Kww that WP:HAMMER applies, but there is also significant coverage for the upcoming release in multiple reliable sources, thereby satisfying WP:GNG. On the other (other) hand, this article doesn't appear to be one of the "few special cases" exceptions (a la Chinese Democracy) described in WP:NALBUMS.

    • Comment Comparing this article to articles of other notable people in the Perl world, one reason for lack of sources is that sburke's books and CPAN modules are not listed in the sources sections. But the books and CPAN modules by themselves don't establish notability in Wikipedia culture. Secondary sources are, if not required, then very helpful in establishing notability. Are there any interviews with Sean Burke or any articles about him in particular? Are there any reviews of his books by journalists or impartial sources, establishing notability for his books? What about independent articles on any of his CPAN modules? I did a quick search, but there are too many Sean Burkes in the world for me to easily sift through the results.Mark viking (talk) 18:02, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, it hadn't occurred to me that the external links should appear, or even could appear, as references/sources. Let me shuffle that around and see how that shapes up. —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 02:28, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I added a reliable source (Scientific Computing) to give a sense of the type of independent sources needed to establish Wikipedia notability. In this case, it would be in support of WP:CREATIVE #3: "multiple independent reviews" of a "well-known work". But would need more sources like that to meet the "multiple" criteria and to show it is a "well-known work". Other paths to notability might include CREATIVE #2 for the CPAN modules, if there are independent sources that can show they are "significant" in some way. For example, the modules are included with a core Perl library distribution that is widely used might be one argument (supported with independent reliable sources). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you!, now I've got kind of an idea for what direction to go in. Can you have a look now and let me know if I'm getting warmer or colder? I think the fact that there's a whole chapter in a secondary book that says that I'm the guy who specified the language that the chapter is about, might count for something, but I'm unclear on this.. I plan to put in links to several selected Perl Journal articles-- there's coherence to them in that about half of them are about linguistics, text processing, NLP, etc; and that many are collected in the three volume "Best of the Perl Journal". Also, would it help if I linked to a review or two of the lexicography textbook that I appear in? I never know what's good to add vs just digs me deeper into the hole. —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 13:17, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    The source "foy, brian d (2007)" is excellent because it is independent of the subject (ie. a source not written by Sean Burke) and it shows Burke did something of significance. So is the Scientific Computing source. All the other sources are primary sources (by Sean Burke) and thus can't be used in determining notability. So basically we have third-party evidence that Burke "specified the Pod format", and that Burke wrote a definitive "RTF reference guide". Any book reviews written independently of Burke about Burke (or his book) would be usable too. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm getting the gist of this now. OK, I have other third-party books that discuss modules I've written and published (…and I wasn't an author of the book, and in fact, my modules' appearances in the books were surprises that I stumbled upon *while reading the book*… pleasant surprises, although I wish they'd chosen better example cases. But as they say, "perfect is the enemy of done"); and I'll add citations to those sources in, say, the next twelve hours from me hitting Enter here. (I've got other kinds of sources— for crossing that bridge if we come to it, i.e., to establish further notability if deemed necessary.) —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 02:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    You (@Mark viking) asked: "Are there any reviews of his books by journalists or impartial sources, establishing notability for his books?" Do online reviews count? Or does it have to be in print? Reason I ask is: there's a decent number of online reviews of Perl & LWP. (And I don't mean blurbs like an Amazon description or something.) Same question for interviews online: "Are there any interviews with Sean Burke or any articles about him in particular?" Well, one or two Perl.com dudes have been saying that I should do an interview there was like with Ilya Zakherovich and Damian Conway. What's everyone's advice? Suggestions, anyone? —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 16:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    As far as Wikipedia culture is concerned, source quality is more important than the medium; online book reviews can count. Arranging an interview for the purpose of saving a Wikipedia article seems a bit backwards and would be a COI. But if a journalist/news site comes asking you for an interview and the consensus here is that the source of the interview is reliable/reputable and objective, it will likely count toward notability.

    • Comment - I have been entirely derelict in not having shown my work in having written articles. There's the word "columnist" in passing, and I have a link to something somewhere, but I have neglected to show as well as just tell. My articles are where I've put a lot of my work. I consider my articles to be at least as important as my books— but in this WP entry on me, as I've make the mistake of letting it stand, you can blink and miss it that they exist at all. I consider my work with the articles as well as with the modules to be parts of a greater coherent work toward demonstrating kinds of natural language processing, and providing tools enabling it. E.g., Locale::Maketext isn't yet another templating system, it's the basis for i18n of entire applications, like Request Tracker, with my goal in having written Locale::Maketext being to solve problems that encumber in gettext; Sort::ArbBiLex isn't just some little do-dad like the amortization module I wrote one afternoon, it's something crucial to localization, the theme of half my articles. I'll go put in some article links now, to make clear what has been, so far, nigh upon invisible in the article— to the result of this to-date resounding bafflement over why two books and a few modules have been claimed as be grounds for notability. —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 22:09, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone, go write an article about me... in the past. I'll be having giving interviews. Hurry, man, before it's still time! But... gnkh,... dammit, I can't get my scp-based teleport to work right.
    I like the coincidence that I've just now just finished reading Zero History, which contains a brand of clothing that's famous for being secret. ALSO: In the book, there's an academic named Milgrim who, because of sad drugs that I have some familiarity with, basically can't remember the past ten years of his life, where he's been sorta "of no fixed address". He goes into rehab, where they wean him off the big bad drugs by giving him other drugs. And toward the end, the reveal: «[Milgrim saying]: “I’m almost out of medication.” [they say:] “That’s all been placebos for the past three months.” Milgrim slid his hand inside his jacket, to touch the almost-empty bubble-pack. No more tiny purple notations of date and time. “But I like a placebo,” he said to himself.» I don't think I'm like Migrim,... but if I were, I would probably have forgotten having been. Similarly or at least isomorphically, I know a writer about whom I can almost say that "he's an excellent author who's quite famous— among authors."… but actually he's getting more of an audience now. But, sshh, I must not say his name, or Wikipe-tan might whammy him with the Stark Broom Of Removal.
    As for me, my plans for the future involve making up some t-shirts at Café Press saying “But I like a placebo”. But for the moment, it's a secret— Don't tell anyone. Wait,... no,... Go tell anyone!
    In the meantime, I'll be ~sourcing~ myself... But seriously, I'm actually finding some interesting stuff. Medical records formatting software using nuggets of my RTF,... people I never knew about using Locale::Maketext,... so APPARENTLY I ACTUALLY AM TAKING THIS PROCESS VERY EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY. READY GO. —sburke@cpan.org (talk) 20:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment - A quarter of a million ghits are not really relevant to a debate about notability, since they seem to consist of things that are explicitly not reliable sources, such as self promotion on Facebook and Youtube. This is pretty much a definition of what an internet neologism looks like. That is not to say that it does not exist in some sense, just that this is not evidence that it is yet notable for an encyclopedia. I cannot comment on the Portuguese book, as I cannot read the context and in any case this is the English Wikipedia. The journal article is more of an issue and probably the best argument for notability. The journal calls itself "a peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal for the study of electronic dance music culture" and looks like one in the way it is set out, but the article does not read like an academic article. It is full of serious grammatical errors and unsupported (and frankly unsupportable) statements. Most strikingly it is only 1,250 words long - which makes for a very, very short academic article. I am not sure if we should take this as a reliable source, but it may be useful for those who have commented previously to give an opinion on this. I remain open to being convinced, but cannot change my delete at this time. There is still insufficient evidence of notability.--SabreBD (talk) 13:44, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I was reading the article, I was confused as well, but I just figured that's how all music journals were since I'd never read one. The article is written like a personal essay more than an article for an esteemed journal. It only cites three references, none of which are other journal articles, so it does not build on existing research. There are no footnotes, which is actually not surprising given the content of the article. Additionally, there is no direct contact email for the author. I think we should consider the journal WP:FRINGE unless and until it can be shown otherwise. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I did not point out the number of ghits because I thought they were all reliable. Most of them are probably no use for verifying any facts. Rather, I quoted the quarter of million figure to show that the term was not something made up one day. That is, the term is actually in general use; the criterion for inclusion in dictionaries (see Wiktionary:CFI for instance). This is a totally different issue to notability and verifiability, which must also be met for inclusion here of course. But it is unrealistic to expect to find a large corpora of scholarly articles on such subjects. The vast majority of music articles on Wikipedia get by on far less than what we have here.
    There is no policy against foreign language sources at Wikipedia, in fact, a worldwide encyclopaedia will kind of require them if it is achieve its goals. Those of us that cannot read the language are required to assume good faith of those that can. Here are two snippets from a (not very good) machine translation of the Portuguese book;
    That edition of Trancendence, the two also had the honor of commanding the CDJ's main runway for an hour and a half of intense dark psytrance.
    Around eleven o'clock, former politicial and military stunted girl's father had left behind all the allure of colored lights and haunted dark psytrance, and, in the relative calm of camping, de-dicaram to a exciting combat "lock" until four in the morning.
    There are also a few sources thrown up in gnews; "Converting Digitarians" (Danish), "N.A.S.A project" (Dutch), "Alle påskens fester 2010" (Danish), "Trance Energy" (Australian), "Dj israelita no Populos Inn" (Portuguese). Gnews is also showing snippets of articles in Jornal da Madeira (Portuguese) and Le petit bulletin Grenoble (French) but seems unable to retrieve the full page. All this shows at the very least that this is a worldwide phenomenon and not a simple neologism. SpinningSpark 21:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Non-notable new polemic; not every book reviewed in National Review or Publishers Weekly is thereby rendered notable. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:09, 25 November 2012 (UTC) Orange Mike | Talk 00:09, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep Perhaps not every book (or every anything) reviewed at Publisher's weekly is notable. But this book has been reviewed not just with a press release, but in the leading journals and magazines relevant to its topic - all I see have their own wiki pages. The reviews are in depth article-length essays, and well written. The author is among the most notable academics and scientists, and that generates the initial outgoing and incoming links for this article It is unclear (with no references) why you call it a polemic - implies you have read it? – That's perhaps opinion, in mine it isn't. But that's beside the point. It is, as one might expect from the author, well argued, and footnoted. It argues a case which has caught many readers and reviewer's attention (as evidenced by articles in leading social science journals), and has garnered significant attention, both positive and negative: That's my definition of notable.

    • Keep It appears the reviews in the National Review and Commentary Magazine are completely legit and in and of themselves are enough to establish notability. I see nothing in the New York times citation on the book, rather just a passing mention of the author. The PDF appears to be an academic paper and as such a primary source, not really acceptable for notability. But the two reviews should be enough to satisfy notability as they are in national publications of wide circulation. Gtwfan52 (talk) 04:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Reviews in Commentary and National Review are more than sufficient to establish notability. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Non-notable musical release. No evidence of charting. No evidence of awards. No evidence of full-length professional reviews. The best in the way of sources appears to be a picture, four lines of text and a track listing, all written by someone who was sent a free copy of the album. That's not in depth coverage by independent reliable sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 17:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Redirect to Modest_Mouse_discography#Cassettes - Considering the cassette only sold 100 copies, this is probably to blame for the lack of sources and, like most bands, they aren't very well-known at their first days or work. Google News and Books provided nothing and my own search found this blog. Although the album is not notable, it is significant to the Modest Mouse discography so a redirect would be the best option.

    On notability grounds. A limited number of fights with an overwhelming loss record. His only victory was against another boxer with limited experience. That the latter boxer went on to become a significant kickboxer is irrelevant. Peter Rehse (talk) 12:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete Notability is not inherited, and if we don't look at the whole "person he fought becomes famous part", there's only one game to back up any notability claims. Buggie111 (talk) 17:41, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete - It seems he had a short career and small number of fights and Google News only found three relevant results here (Dennis Alexio fight) and 1988 retirement announcements here and here noting that he was diagnosed with hemophilia and lost sight in his right eye shortly after his retirement. After continuing my search there and Google Books, I found nothing else that was relevant. SwisterTwister talk 21:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
