Per WP:NSPORT. Someone who attempted (but, by implication, failed) to qualify for races can be presumed not to be notable in the sport; and there is no other suggestion of general notability. Richwales (talk · contribs) 23:53, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article currently contains no sources at all, and there is no indication of any sort of notability separate from the notability of the Ecuadorian Army. Might be best merged into Ecuadorian Army, provided a suitable source can be found. Richwales (talk · contribs) 23:46, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - There is no material about the ranks in the Euadorian army, and in particular, no mention of that rank aside from the infobox identifying the current commander. A redirect there with no merge of any text is going to leave a reader completely clueless as to why he or she has arrived at the Ecuadorian Army article. -- Whpq (talk) 13:49, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Then add something about the ranks; don't tell me sources aren't available. A better solution was if an article like Military ranks of the Colombian Armed Forces existed, but that takes some artwork skills. FuFoFuEd (talk) 14:02, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very poorly sourced BLP, questionable notability (appears to be a local radio presenter without much national/international coverage) and the subject would like it deleted (ticket:2011080210012886), especially since he believes it's largely inaccurate. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This level of detail on in-game elements is inappropriate, and the Poptropica article already contains way beyond what is necessary already, so merging back more isn't going to help.

- Keep - It's just as notable as several other yeshivas that have their own pages, including Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi, Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilboa, Marbeh Torah, Yeshivat Ohr David, Yeshivat Ohr Yerushalayim etc. etc. And it should not be redirected to Ateret Cohanim, if only because this institution is actually named Ateret Yerushalayim, and Ateret Cohanim is not. Three of the links are independent, 3rd party links, and one of them is from a governmental organization which does a thorough, independent check of all the institutions it lists, so that should undoubtedly qualify as reliable. There's no justification for deleting this page without deleting all of the others, and I don't think you would be doing Wikipedia a service if you do delete the pages for these educational institutions, each of which have served hundreds of students worldwide.

- For the first point, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
- For the second point, as pointed out below, they are directory entries. They do not cover the subject in any way, as WP:N stipulates. —Ynhockey (Talk) 18:56, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It may be notable, but the refs do not appear to me to support that. The first (ateret.org) looks like the website of the program itself (or its parent organization). The next two (masaisrael and findayeshiva) looks like just directory entries (sites containing uncritically evaluated collection of listings of numerous programs) so they prove existence not notability. The yu.edu one is a dead-link, and the only mention of the topic on their website is http://yu.edu/admissions/israel-program/men-schools/ which similarly looks like a directory. There may well be similar problems in other schools'/programs' articles that could lead to their deletion as well if not resolved. DMacks (talk) 17:33, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The article, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, makes mention of the concept 'Inherent notability', which, as an example, they say: "generally speaking, any high school is deemed to be sufficiently notable for an article, but lower-level schools are generally not." So I would argue that all institutions of this nature posses such inherent notability. And whilst it may be correct that the article needs better references, that is a good reason to put a Primary sources needed tag on the article, and try to improve it, not a good reason to delete an article on an inherently notable institution.

In the prod he said they didn't count because they were about how to use it, but WP:HOWTO is a guideline on how we write articles, not what sources we use.

This doesn't seem to satisfy WP:NEO; the single cited source isn't enough to establish notability (which requires multiple independent, reliable sources). I tried a Google search for "nouvelle histoire", and most of the hits appeared to be about a fabric collection by Vlisco. If this article is to be kept, it needs more sources; it needs to make clear whether it's talking primarily about "nouvelle histoire" or "new history"; and it needs to define the term more clearly. If this concept really is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, there ought to be plenty of people writing stuff about it. Richwales (talk · contribs) 21:36, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There is indeed an international scholarly literature in three languages on the topic. I have added several of these and also a discussion of the reaction in Germany. The article now cites four books and two articles, in English, French and German. Note that half these scholarly sources use "Nouvelle histoire" in the title, so it's more than glancing mention.

Delete as unencyclopedic. There are references, but many of them are throwaway, and almost all of them are subjective, as they are coming from area sports news or rival coaches (in one instance). As a matter of fact, one of the underpinnings of the article is a statement that the Patriots run a certain type of defense, and there is no citation to back it up. Moreover, an article on a team's strategy makes no sense - there are no other American football teams on WP that have this type of article, and no other sports teams, either, and for good reason - strategies change.

- Comment I think the article could use some cleanup to remove discussion of other strategies (e.g. New England Patriots strategy#Comparison to "West Coast" and "Air Coryell" offenses and New England Patriots strategy#Comparison to other 3-4 systems) if it's not comparing side-by-side specific facets to the Patriots strategy. In its current format, it seems like unneeded duplication of what is already in other articles. It there are concerns about sourcing, the relevant text should be tagged in the article and discussed on its talk page. Finally, to the nominator's concern over POV, WP:OPINION notes "Hard facts are really rare. What we most commonly encounter are opinions from people (POVs). Inherently, because of this, most articles on Wikipedia are full of POVs. An article which clearly, accurately, and fairly describes all the major, verifiable points of view will – by definition – be in accordance with Wikipedia's NPOV policy."—Bagumba (talk) 23:02, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- merge Can anyone explain why this is not central material for the main article on the team? And if not, why we should not have similar articles for every team in the league, and so on. We could find references to justify them, for sportswriters always talk about such matters. There is no limit to the extent to which we could similarly subdivide Wikipedia articles. Maybe its even a good idea--to turn Wikipedia into a database of separate sections or paragraphs, and the articles into frameworks where the readers could recombine and assemble them. We would never need a merge debate again ever, nor AfD, for there would be no defined separate articles. DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability of this season (as opposed to notability of the team). No sources at all, so fails WP:RS and WP:V. Per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NSPORT#Individual seasons, this sort of article should consist "mainly of well-sourced prose", or else it should be redirected or merged to the team/league article (Yugoslav Ice Hockey League).

- Comment. I note that there are a bunch of other articles for various seasons of the Yugoslav Ice Hockey League (going back to 1973-74). Some of these have statistics added, while others are no more than lists of teams. My impression is that they should all be either deleted, or else merged to Yugoslav Ice Hockey League; but rather than generate a zillion almost identical AfD's, I would propose that we see what the consensus is on this one, and then deal with the others in the same way.

- Strong Keep You're joking with these deletions! These articles are notable enough to be on the Czech and Slovene Wikipedia's. And they are not just a list of teams, they are the final ranking of the teams. How about the thousands of articles on football seasons that have little to no prose? They are not identical the, final ranking of the league changes every year.

- Redirect to and expand section at Beverly Hills Ninja sequel section to show the history of this halted sequel, as its history it does have a is sourcable. Written as a sequel to Beverly Hills Ninja by THAT film's co-writer Mitch Klebanoff, 30% of the film had been shot in Korea and Los Angeles by the time production was forced to halt. In 2010 Klebanoff sued his Korean investors for their failing to provide adequate funding, a failure which resulted in numerous production shutdowns, the eventual halting of principle filming, and Klebanoff's removal from the project.[43] Of course, the litigants sued him in turn, with claims of misrepresentation. The dispute ended up in front of an IFTA arbitrator who eventually decided in Klebanoff's favor on the main claims of his suit, who in July 2011 awarded him "nearly $262,000, which included principal money due, legal costs, and interest. Klebanoff filed a petition on Monday in state court to confirm the final award, and a hearing is set for Sept. 21 [2011]."[44] What we have here is a film that began, ran into the worst of production hells, and ceased principle filming before being completed. Per WP:GNG, WP:FUTURE, and WP:EVENT, sourced mentions of this (so-far-failed) project "might" merit inclusion in the Beverly Hills Ninja sequel section (which itself needs correction because a film only 30% shot is NOT in post-production), or in a Mitch Klebanoff article were he to have one. As a stalled film whose future is uncertain, and per WP:NFF, Dancing Ninja does not merit a seperate article. And as a film wjose future is in doubt, it fails being one of NFF's few exceptions. As 30% has been shot, and represents an investment in time and money that production would love to recoupe, it "is" possible that filming "might" resume. If filming does recommence, we can undelete the article and expand it accordingly. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak deleteHe is author of a number of commercially released books, some in well known franchises. His "The Horror of Howling Hill," a novel in the Dr. Who series, is held in 99 libraries, per Worldcat. His "Unnatural History" is held by 64 libraries. His "Human Nature" is held by 46 libraries, and another book by over 50. He has written so many that it is a chore to search for the name of each in turn to see if there are published reviews. Does the site "Graeme's Fantasy Book Review" constitute a reliable source? It has a review of "Unnatural history." and a review of "Anno Frankenstein." Is Gamezebo a reliable source? It has a signed article about Green joining Gamebook Adventures. The article, which is diminished in its effectiveness supporting of notability by sounding like it started as a press release, says he is a popular author. Looking at a sample of reviews online, mostly I just found anonymous reader reviews at Amazon or fansites for the fantasy/scifi genre. So he seems to be a successful working author. The problem is, his name is a common one, even for authors, and there are many hits at Google News archive for other "Jonathan Green's". We need multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage, or other indices at WP:AUTHOR, which I just do not see as satisfied. I'm prepared to shift to keep if someone turns up evidence of notability. He is not just some guy with some self-published works. If he is interested in self promotion, he should have hired a PR agent to nudge journalists and gotten a few bio articles and reviews published in newspapers and magazines.

- Comment. In answer to the above editor self-identifying as the subject, this procedure will be discussing whether or not to delete, keep, or take other action to the pagespace. Wikipedians tend to appreciate boldness and truthfulness, so I for one appreciate your interest in the subject matter. It's clear the subject exists and is well-published. I'm going to provide some shortcuts to relevant guidelines and policy as I write so you can follow the discussion better. Several issues arise immediately: self-identifying as the page subject (a claim we will be in no position to verify), your opinions would be subject to scrutiny through the prism of WP:COI. I appreciate that you state you haven't been involved with the article, and that's generally a good practice. The issues which confront us in this discussion relate to WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:NOTABILITY. The specific secondary notability criteria WP:AUTHOR applies to creative professionals. Lots of amazing and impressive individuals do not meet the criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia. What is under discussion is whether there are sources meeting the WP:RELIABLE criteria to verify page assertions and to assert notability sufficient for retention. Search engine results are tricky in this case because the name combination is so common. While your direct participation on the page or in this discussion may not be appropriate as the page subject, if you'd like to add some really good sources in a section of the talk page, this may help us discuss the key issues. Please read the link to reliable above to help you see what we'd be looking for. BusterD (talk) 18:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The policy-based consensus, WP:V being core policy, is to delete. While the numbers in this debate are about 7-7, which would normally suggest a no consensus, it is impossible to ignore nine years of unreferencing, one year of tagging calling for references, and two weeks of the sword hanging over the article's head but no efforts being made to reference the article or even suggesting particular sources. In that context, keep rationales such as "just source it" and "needs a cleanup, perhaps a trim and some sources" are demonstrably weak. I note the outcome of this AfD doesn't in any way prohibit an article being created under this title that meets WP:V. Mkativerata (talk) 22:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - First off, pure opinion. Speaking as a punk fan since 1980 — yeah, it's a good list. It's well done. That counts for nothing here, but it's not a piece of crap. The main question, I suppose, is whether this list was pulled from thin air or whether it is a list from somewhere. It's funny, if you think about it, we build "original research" (quote, unquote, I hate that term...) lists every day of the year on Wikipedia. How? We list this or that subject as being part of various categories. You click on the category link anf voilá! — an "original research" list... The article on Lou Reed probably says "Category:People from New York City." But somehow it is "original research" to make a List of people from New York City that includes Lou Reed, sourced to the Wikipedia categories list? That makes no sense at all. So, okay, this is probably nothing but "Category:Protopunk bands" or some such in article-list form. That's okay. Criteria for inclusion, while not ultra-specific, remains vaguely comprehensible. The list is finite, logical, and performs a valid navigational function. Would this be a better list if it came from a Robert Christgau book or something? Maybe. Maybe not. The list is, like I say, not too far off the mark. Honest people may differ. So, yeah, as a list, based only on a WP category, this is a keep.

- Keep per Carrite and WP:SAL. Categories and lists of the same topic are not mutually exclusive, and in this case, I think a list could provide better navigation than a category.

- keep the question here is not "is the current list a good list" but "could a good list here be written?" Even if the current list is unsourced, surely enough sources exist on the forerunners of a highly notable movement that say individually that this person or that person influenced Punk Rock. So it's not a matter of "sources do not or cannot exist" as much as "they're not in the article right now." In other words, this is a discriminate list with defined and concrete entry requirements (an author or commentator has said you are a forerunner of the Punk Rock movement) and is finite and notable.

Repeat keepI don't have a problem with it being turned in a category, but a list works equally well.

In general I think lists like this exist by consensus. Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:00, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per the policies Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Because the list has remained unsourced since 2002, it should be deleted. The burden is on those wishing to retain the list to provide sources to verify the entries in the list. It is a given that this article "needs a cleanup, perhaps a trim and some sources" (OlEnglish) and that the article "needs a lot of work to keep it on point" (Dzlife). However, after eight years, no sources have been added to the list. It is unknown who considered these people to be "forerunners of punk rock".

- Delete: Sorry, but WP:V - the fundamental content policy of this encyclopedia - is unequivocally, unignorably clear: challenged material must be supported by citations, preferably inline ones. This material has been challenged, and it has been unsourced for many years. Come to that, the Protopunk article itself has language like "The term "protopunk" is of uncertain origins, and has proven difficult to define, and many widely different groups have been so dubbed." The Keep proponents cannot now claim that the article is potentially, conceivably supportable by reliable, independent sources. WP:V requires that it must be. To quote, "If a topic has no reliable sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Period. End of story. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 21:44, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's coming on September 12 barring complete disaster. Right now this text is too bare for its own article. Nate • (chatter) 06:15, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep Article meets GNG by virtue of its coverage; and does NOT violate CRYSTAL as its occurance is a reasonably sure things. And it's hardly the only TV show in the future to have it's own article...Pan Am? Whitney? Those articles are just as bare, with the exception of having infoboxes and cast lists. Also, what's the point of deleting the article now...it'll just be recreated in three weeks. Frankly, considering the short amount of time between the closure of the AFD and the first episode, this AFD is a pointless waste of time and borderline disruptive Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 16:44, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it really clear that the show will be notable even after it starts airing? It would help if some more sources can be found (now) that are independent of ESPN, the Miami Herald, and Dan Le Batard — sources which talk in some depth about the show, and not simply say that it is expected to happen. If the show really is notable now, then I think it's reasonable to expect some independent discussion now. The mere fact that other planned future TV shows have articles isn't a controlling argument (see WP:WAX); each such article needs to be considered on its own merits. WP:FUTURE / WP:CRYSTAL isn't a blanket ban on all articles covering future events; it does allow such material in certain cases; can this show meet the necessary burden of proof? Richwales (talk · contribs) 17:53, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:TVSHOW, if a TV show airs on a network (of which ESPN is one), it is likely to be notable. Which again begs the question, "Why delete it if it's going to air very very soon", especially considering the guideline of not being in a rush. If you are going to make the argument that there are no reliable sources, you have to check yourself to make source there are none...and that looking at the more than 5,000 places that mention the show. And you yourself mention a reliable source...the Miami Herald. You also have misintrepreted WP:CRYSTAL...all I have to prove is that it is going to happen at a set date in the future (which I have proved with a source) for WP:CRYSTAL to not apply. You apparently don't understand WP:TVSHOW or WP:CRYSTAL; and all you seem to be doing here is wasting my and a lot of other people's time. Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 19:27, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not questioning whether the Miami Herald is a reliable source. I am concerned that since Dan Le Batard writes for the Herald, it might not be sufficiently independent of the subject to establish notability. And while I did see a bunch of references to the upcoming show in a Google search, none of them clearly appeared to me to contain significant coverage addressing the show in any amount of detail (as called for by WP:GNG). If you (the creator of the article) are aware of independent sources that do include significant coverage of what this show is expected to be when it airs, it would be very helpful for you to include them in the article. I submitted this AfD nomination in good faith, believing it to be based on a reasonable understanding and interpretation of policy — but if there is ultimately no consensus to delete, the article will naturally remain.

- Strong delete. It is upcoming. So coverage in media are only announcing its start. That is not the same as notability. How do we know if it will be notable in the future, if it will even succeed, let alone make some sort of lasting impact? Delete as per WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 21:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If it airs even one episode, it will pass the WP:TVSHOW guideline, as it's on a major network. Also, it has been covered in reliable sources, so it meets WP:GNG,. And therefore, it passes WP:CRYSTAL as it is notable and has a set air date. Furthermore, why delete this NOW? It will air in only 17 days; yours and others' arguments will be completely invalid then. So why delete it now if it'll be recreated in 17 days? A TV show does not need to make a lasting impact to have an article on this Wikipedia; you are setting the bar far too high and your policy basis is weak Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 00:10, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - James Jordan is the executive producer/mentor/and talent managers for gospel mega stars Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, Fred Hammond, Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood, Deitrick Haddon and so on... and leads the largest gospel label in the world... he is widely known throughout all of the gospel/church and entertainment community... and he's lead his artists into breaking billboard history in the gospel genre, with artists crossing over into the secular market... he's help shaped the the careers of pop/r&b mega stars Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys, Salt N Pepa, PM Dawn, R. Kelly and Joe in which all of his artists has went platinum. He's founded his own label Jordan Entertainment Group who's artist went platinum as well, topping billboard charts. He has just as much impact in the world of entertainment like other execs such as Tommy Mottola, LA Reid, Kevin Liles, Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohens etc. His works are very notable and with all do respect, it would be an insult to the black community if he wasn't noted as a notable person. He's definitely an in the front man guy and If you don't know him doesn't mean that he isn't notable... just like there may be people I don't know but you know them to be very much notable. Why? Because we don't know everthing and everyone but it doesn't take away from what or who they are. Hansomd 02:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Weak keep All-time leader in games played for a franchise as long-lived as the Bisons is a notable distinction, although that may be mitigated depending on the meaning of "modern-era" in the text. If it means "since 1901" (i.e., since the franchise left the Western League), that means a lot more than if it means "since 1979" (i.e., since the franchise was reconstituted after an eight-year hiatus). A clarification of that would affect my !vote.Also note: Cooper is currently active with the St. Paul Saints. I have updated his page to reflect this. -Dewelar (talk) 04:43, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Changing vote to delete, as Cooper is only the post-1979 games played leader, falling over 800 games short of all-time leader Ollie Carnegie.

- Delete Yes, the article is sourced, but they are mostly trivial mentions in articles, failing WP:GNG which requires multiple sources of significant coverage. For the sources not mentioned in the article, they seem WP:ROUTINE and not enough to establish notability. A record of almost 400 games for a minor league team is also a sign he was stuck without being promoted. Weaker option is to merge to St. Paul Saints as they are not affiliated with an MLB team so they dont have their own minor league player article.

REPLY FROM PTESLA-
We had already added references from such reliable sources as Canadian Christianity, Christians Together, and Christian-faith.com. We have now added another reference from the world's most prominent Pentecostal magazine - "Charisma Magazine" - which describes Andrew Strom as a "Revival Historian and teacher" while quoting him as an authority in their article "When Christians Quit Church." If you do a search on Google, you will find that Andrew Strom's books, articles and videos are discussed on thousands of websites across the world. He is one of the most controversial figures in the Charismatic movement. This will become obvious if you do the search and look through all the websites. We believe "notability" is well established. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PTesla (talk • contribs) 09:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep (as author). Added a navigation box to put in more context, part of a series of articles. Found another source about him. According to Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire, the author of the DIT thesis The Emergence, Development and Influence of French Haute Cuisine on Public Dining in Dublin Restaurants 1900-2000: An Oral History written sources are notoriously hard to find, especially when somebody is not a celebrity chef (what is the case with most head chefs). Night of the Big Wind talk 11:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The entire sentence with Moore mentioned is, "There was John Dunne, there was Fergus Moore, who is now in Sheen Falls but I don’t think he’s cooking anymore." The context is a chef is mentioning his time at a restaurant and the sentence gives who was there with him. This is not exactly a reliable source about Moore. Bgwhite (talk) 20:18, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As you can see in the context of the article it just confirm that he is/was a chef, that he worked in the Sheen Falls Hotel and that he had worked as part of a team that earned a Michelin star. The article is really thin, I agree. But with a Michelin star being the highest and most wanted award, he sure is notable. And why should a restaurant with one star be notable and the chef who earns is not? See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The House (restaurant). Night of the Big Wind talk 20:26, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A Michelin star is in fact earned by the head chef, not by the restaurant. Head chef leaving normally means losing your star(s). See for example Parkheuvel that lost two of its three stars after head chef Cees Helder left and the kitchen was taken over by Erik van Loo, who used to work in the two starred restaurant De Zwethheul. Night of the Big Wind talk 15:43, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've been unable to find where a Michelin star makes a chef presumed notable. Do you know where a link is? A Michelin star is actually given to the restaurant. A look a Mechelin's faq page never mentions chef, but only the restaurant. Here is a good description of a Mechelin star and note they say restaurant. Among the things considered for a star is wine list, the surroundings and the if food is priced accordingly. These three things may not be something that a chef can control. Bgwhite (talk) 20:09, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case a restaurant should keep his star when the head chef leaves, but that is seldom the case... Night of the Big Wind talk 20:19, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ow, the article about the Michelin guide and the FAQ from Michelin both mention cuisine as in Three stars reward exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey, where diners eat extremely well, often superbly.. Cuisine can give you an insight what is ment with that. Your last source clearly mentions cooking. It is all about cooking. Night of the Big Wind talk 00:07, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, cuisine is the most important part. But the star goes to the restaurant. The Oscar goes to the movie, not the director, who has the most to do with artistic direction of the movie. In a restaurant, you have the head chef, who is also the most important. But you also have the sous chef, sommelier, owner, servers, etc. Have a bad sommelier or servers and the restaurant can't get 2 stars. Nowhere that I found a star makes a chef presumed notable. Nowhere that I found are there reliable sources about the chef.
- The staff can cost a chef his stars, true. But it is the chef and the "White Brigade" that earns them, not the "Black Brigade"! See here:
“ | "Wist u dat “de sterren enkel en alleen op het bord liggen” ? De sterren zijn een beoordeling van de kwaliteit van de keuken. Bij de toekenning wordt rekening gehouden met 5 criteria : de kwaliteit van de producten, de beheersing van de kooktechnieken en de smaken, de persoonlijkheid van de chef, de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding, de constante kwaliteit: zowel van de gerechten als in de tijd. Deze criteria zijn overigens sinds 2005 vermeld in de inleiding van de gids. De decoratie, het tafellinnen, het aantal personeelsleden en de kwaliteit van de uitrusting tellen absoluut niet mee bij de toekenning van de sterren, maar bepalen hoeveel couverts een adres krijgt.[56]
English: Did you know that "the star only lie on the plate"? The stars are an assessment of the quality of the cuisine. At the award takes into account five criteria: quality of products, control of the cooking techniques and flavors, the chef's personality, value for money, consistent quality: both the dishes and in time. These criteria are also mentioned in the introduction since 2005 of the guide. The decorations, the tablecloths, the staff and the quality of the equipment count absolutely no part in the awarding of stars, but determine how many couverts an address is receiving. |

Hey, this is SkittlesNSpice. I saw this information on his file on the German wikipedia. No, I did NOT copy paste. The evidence is strong, and if it has been accepted on the German wikipedia then it should be accepted here as well. Also don't get upset just because I made a page before you could.

- And Skittles, I urge you to please read WP:A Primer for newcomers so as to better understand the need for verifiability in reliable sources that we have here. What is done in other Wikipedias is on them. HERE, we have standards upon which we rely. If you come up with news articles and commentary on this fellow, the article might be determined as suitable. Simple listings of his discography is not the same. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NBASKETBALL as he plays in the BBL, the worst league in Europe. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 01:13, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "the worst League in Europe." That's a new one for attempting to disprove notability. The Birmingham Thunderbolts of the XFL had the worst record in likely the worst pro football league of all-time, so that's a double whammy that should warrant deletion, no? I don't have a vote since I don't have much experience with Basketball AFDs, but I do know other sports typically keep articles on players that played in the highest professional league of a country, such as the 'awful' BBL. Agent VodelloOK, Let's Party, Darling! 03:05, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That is precisely why the only player from the Birmingham Thunderbolts to have a Wikipedia page is Stepfret Williams because he had played in the NFL. If Lehmon Colbert plays a game in the NBA or in another major professional sports league, which the BBL frankly is not since it is non-Euroleague, then his inclusion can be justified.

Actor/model with no evidence of notability. Only roles appear to be bit parts/extra roles. The sources consist of IMDB, Twitter, and an interview which is possibly the sole WP:RS and states that he is "a name perhaps unfamiliar to you but he’s been linked with recent rumors" with no qualification as to the subject's credibility.

- Don't Delete Maybe make his page just state he is primarily a model, and then can have small subsection for acting. He has an IMDB, his own website which shows his modeling work and magazine appearances so he deserves to have a wiki page. Plus, though his movie roles were small, they still exist. He's not a nobody. Plus his role on HBO's Tilda was a co-starring role, not an extra or one scene.Uknowwhogirl (talk) 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Don't DeleteI have updated/edited his page to make it more concise, simple and accurate which I hope makes it remain eligible to be saved. I kept the filmography section but if you feel it should be taken down, feel free. Uknowwhogirl (talk) 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- Don't Delete There is no self-promotion involved. If you Google his name, there are hundreds of results in relation to this actor, and many photos of his modelling. This is evidence alone that he is a person of interest and discussion. He is currently working on a couple of major projects and a lot of people will expect to see an entry for him on Wikipedia. Union jak86 (talk) 16:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't DeleteHis name has been mentioned on MTV, cinemablend, fandango, about.com. He has a celebrity profile on IGN and he even has a tag on Perez Hilton. He has over 3 dozen news items on imdb.com, 1,300,000 results on Google for "Kevin Pennington Avengers" and 649,000 for "Kevin Pennington True Blood". Rumours or not, people are clearly talking about him. There are pictures and footage of him attending the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and the AMAs. You do not attend all these events without being a 'somebody' in the industry. Union jak86 (talk) 17:23, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't Delete His name might not be a household name yet, but he's been mentioned plenty of times on various sources, he even was linked to the movie "The Avengers" at one point. If you google pictures of him, the first results that are showing up are a lot of his modeling gigs - it's not like you only have a few pics of him mixed with random people, it's ALL him. Also, if this page were completely about self-promotion, which it is not, than you would recognize so, but all facts giving are JUST facts - filmography and his biography etc etc. And I am wondering what the big deal is... if you delete the page now, and in a few months he's gonna have his big break, you'll just create a new one? Save yourself the time and keep the page.

- Don't Delete Pennington is an up and coming actor, more so a musician in a band called ROME that will soon launch their debut single. Just because his filmography doesn't list a number of blockbusters or movie hits, it doesn't mean he's an unknown. As has been mentioned, Pennington has attended various events throughout this year and the past. He's very well known amongst the very strong comic fan-base having been mentioned for roles such as Aquaman and another in next year's "The Avengers" - those clearly have been rumours, also he is widely known in the modelling circles. This shows that he's not just some nobody who is trying to up his status by self-promoting his biography and career on Wikipedia. If you were to take the time looking him up via Google you'll find that his name has been linked to various BIG projects and that he certainly is not some unknown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolakhe (talk • contribs) 19:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC) — Kolakhe (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Delete per WP:NotJustYet. His so-far short[58] film career fails WP:ENT, and his "Kev Penn bio at Monsters & Critcs is borrowed from Wikipedia. The interview in Screenrant is not enough to meet WP:GNG's instruction of "multiple". There are multiple short articles in iffy sites that deal with his NOT being in the Avengers movie,[59] but those do not tell us about the indivdual, only about what he has not done. His work as a fashion model and fitness advisor do not meet WP:N. His fashion editorials in L'Uomo Vogue and Complex do not meet WP:AUTHOR. What is required is our finding independent reliable sources that speak about the fellow dirctly and in detail. I looked and did not find where these are archived. If the asserted covers of Men's Health and 944 Magazine can be linked and show coverage of the individual, then I can reconsier ny delete. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article refers to two separate, unrelated facilities in different states, both wholly unremarkable. There is nothing to distinguish these buildings as noteworthy any more than any other hometown ice rink in America (or abroad). B.Rossow · talk 20:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Please note that I live in Mankato, where one of these buildings is located, and have been to the other facility on multiple occasions, so my nomination is based on firsthand experience, not simply a lack of supporting evidence here on Wikipedia.

I have not found any reason under Notability for this article. Simply being a judge does not confer notability.

The result was keep. Though, congratulations for one of the worst AfD "discussions" I have ever seen. "It's very interesting". "It's too detailed". "I like it". "I like lists". "Other TV shows have these lists", followed by a playground argument. Well done, everyone. I was almost tempted to close it as "no consensus" because there's so little policy-based discussion, but hey. Black Kite (t) (c) 02:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Listcruft: it's a well-known show, and if a person is important enough to be on the show, they are most likely going to be well known already. There is no reason to devote a list to just those who have appeared on the show.

- KEEP I don't think any of these should be deleted. They are very interesting on who was on these shows from the start to present. Okay they are long, but when I had put these in the main article they weren't as long as this page. Now that section with the Guest Hosts and Halftime Reporters will not have any purpose if there isn't a section of past and present Guests. When this show aired in 2007 there were not a lot of people that watched this show until now and I had liked to know who was on it when it started. This show offers famous and not famous people which I come to follow now since they appeared on the show. This list does not have the most well-known people.Ltlane777 (talk) 17:33, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Please see Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: the argument for deletion isn't based on the precedent of other, similar lists existing, but on whether it's ever a good idea to have lists like these. If the consensus is that lists of guests on shows are not suitable articles for inclusion, then the articles you list should also be considered for deletion.

- Keep: This List of guests on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld is doing exactly what any Wikipedia list should do: It is documenting information relevant to a notable subject without cluttering that subject's main article, which was my main concern when I saw this list being originally formed in the main Red Eye article. I was very happy when an separate article was created to house it. I was even happier when it was greatly improved using List of The Daily Show guests as a format by Racingstripes (talk). The information is all verifiable with the reliable references listed and the show itself which spawned this list is unquestionably notable. It meets WP:LIST in that it is informative about the types of guests on the show, which aids researchers in quickly determining the demographic of the show's guests and/or the show's network, and also aids quick/efficient navigation to learn more about those guests. Who appears on a particular show and why has a meaning far greater than a simple list of names. Any future arguments that the nature of the subject/list is not encyclopedic should also be avoided in the absence of clear policies/guidelines against articles on such subjects/lists (from: WP:IDONTLIKEIT).--RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And yes, in the case of 'TV guest lists', the violation of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS be damned in favor of the much needed WP:NoDoubleStandards and WP:HowToOvercomeWikiDemographicBias, because the Wiki Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists (aka List of The Daily Show guests) has existed and been maintained as an excellent standard precedent for many years without deletion and has inspired many other 'TV guest lists' (many of which have been selectively deleted, IMHO, by editors deliberately ignoring (with a Wiki-wink-of-approval) the existence of the Wiki Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists). The strong community support for List of The Daily Show guests and its acceptance as a 'Category' with 16 related articles proves that the larger Wiki community does not really agree that these types of 'TV guests lists' are WP:LISTCRUFT. Otherwise, this massive, conspicuous Holy Grail would have been deleted "a long, long time ago in the Land of Wiki."--RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In order to improve Wiki and to stop all the unnecessary debates and waste of time which occurs every single time a 'TV guest list' is nominated for deletion, a new clear policy needs to be developed to allow 'TV guest lists' which follow the 'excellent standard precedent' set by List of The Daily Show guests. If not, then I suggest my arguments above for KEEP (some of which I retrieved from the nomination for deletion of 'The Daily Show guest lists') be posted on every 'discussion page' of 'TV show guest list' articles, so that less experienced Wiki editors can better defend their particular 'TV guest lists' in the future from more experienced editors who selectively nominate the easy "low-hanging fruit" while ignoring (with a Wiki-wink-of-approval) the Wiki Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists.--RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Wiki Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists (aka the Category List of The Daily Show guests and it's 16 related articles below), which are all being cited as precedent setting 'TV guest list' formats across Wiki:
- Many editors often point first to the existence of the above Wiki Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists when their TV guest list is nominated for deletion, which happened here also. And what arguments are used to discredit some of their arguments to KEEP? Violates WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, WP:Listcruft and/or WP:IJUSTLIKEIT. But somehow (wink) when it comes to the above Holy Grail of TV Guest Lists, these same policy arguments never have resulted in deletion...ever. And we all know they never will because of the "Wiki-wink-of-approval" toward this particular article coupled with the demographic of Wiki editors being heavily skewed toward the political left which always votes to KEEP it, no matter how many other similar 'TV guest lists' are deleted.--RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In general, I find it very interesting indeed the editors who selectively choose the "low-hanging fruit" of 'TV guest lists' for deletion somehow just never get around to nominating the massive Holy Grail for deletion, which if successful would eliminate with one single nomination the long-standing precedent source for most of the other 'TV guest lists' now being created. So editors continue to use the above Holy Grail as a precedent to create more 'TV guest lists' thinking it is acceptable policy on Wiki to do so, then they become understandably upset and disillusioned with Wiki when their guest list is deleted using violations of WP:Listcruft, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and/or WP:IJUSTLIKEIT.--RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It would not surprise me if many editors have left Wiki in total disgust at the unfairness dealt them, or worse become vandals, which IMHO Wiki has a bad habit of creating in unacceptable numbers. That fact alone should "wake Wiki up" that something isn't working here, but Wiki goes on ignoring the real causes of these problems. This should concern fair-minded editors who really want to stop the increasing number of editors leaving Wiki and stop this double-standard unfairness here, which often masquerades behind some Wiki-policy which more experienced editors know how to exploit. IMHO, there is much need for WP:NoDoubleStandards and WP:HowToOvercomeWikiDemographicBias. That would be real change that would really help Wiki keep editors by acknowledging real causes of problems on Wiki and showing them there is real concern that fairness be shown across all Wiki articles. Good day. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's neither helpful nor accurate to use words like "selective", "wink", "bias" and "double-standards" here. I have no idea what you mean by "Holy Grail" above, either.
- The main Daily Show guest-list article has been nominated three times:
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Daily Show guests in 2005 (consensus "keep")
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable guests appearing on The Daily Show (2nd nomination) in 2006 (consensus merge, and the redirect was later deleted)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Daily Show guests (2nd nomination) in 2007 (no consensus).
- There's no evidence of selective deletion or inclusion for that list: it's been deleted and re-created. Editors simply seem not to have come to a consensus about that list yet. I favor its deletion, but recognise that guidelines on inclusion for lists like these are pretty hazy at the moment. So before I start off a useless fourth AFD for that list, I'd like to establish some precedent for merging or deleting poorly-sourced lists like this one. As I've said in the nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of celebrity guests on The Howard Stern Show (2nd nomination), lists like these are a magnet for adding unreferenced additions, until the list becomes worse than useless. Gurt Posh (talk) 14:07, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - (Wiki translation: "Shhh! We don't talk about those issues on Wiki.") It seems I hit upon the two elephant-sized issues which are taboo to speak of on Wiki. I used those very accurate and helpful words/issues exactly as I intended. I know I am 'Tilting at Wiki-windmills' here, but there is much need for WP:NoDoubleStandards and WP:HowToOvercomeWikiDemographicBias. These two go hand-in-hand and are two of the reasons editors are leaving. There, I said it in the spirit of trying to help Wiki. Deal with it, or stay in denial. Wiki's choice. Those two elephants and the damage they create on Wiki are not getting any smaller by denying they exist. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 07:43, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep with a request that the reference quality be improved; with that, this list would have my strong keep support. In my opinion, this is going to be either a list or a category, and the precedent is list, given other notable sourced talk show guest lists which have been kept. Consensus is formed by active discussion, tacit discussion, as well as precedent.
- I disagree with the nom trotting out unrelated prior AfD 'delete' results, which were not valid precedent, since they were based on 'no references' whereas this one is not.
- I disagree with the trotting out of prior AfD results as examples, and the simultaneous rejection of valid counterexamples as WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Dirty pool. Either both examples and counterexamples are allowed in AfD, or neither.
- Improvement is possible, which would be prevented by deletion:
- A serious attempt has been made here to provide sources, flawed though some of them may be (unofficial YouTube videos are not good sources - find better ones).
- Some of the guests have been fairly unique "gets" - the list could be improved by identifying which guests appeared only or first on Red Eye.
- On guideline: the list of guests clearly outgrew the show article, and it is quite normal, per WP:LIST to spawn such lists to separate articles, as has been done here. Its inclusion criteria are clear, as only notable guests are listed.
- Problems with WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS: it assumes bad faith - that other articles are "crap" if they are kept. This is pointedly counter to a core Wikipedia value, of WP:AGF. Also, it disallows the reference to consensus made elsewhere; this is a flaw. To be sure, we should focus most of our attention on issues related to this article, but we should not be blinkered to the history of prior and related consensus.

- Comment - WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS was not cited before you mentioned it. I don't think it should exist as a redirect, or at the very least shouldn't be linked to on WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#What about article x?, precisely for the reasons you suggest. I did mention WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS though, and that was argued against by RedEyedCajun above. I'm not assuming bad faith on anyone's part, nor am I assuming political bias, and I hope for the same assumptions to be made by any editors tempted to think that this is being nominated for deletion for political reasons. Gurt Posh (talk) 15:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I appreciate the intention. Unfortunately OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a euphemism for the more obviously deprecatory (and more frequently used) OTHERCRAPEXISTS version, and I've always objected to its use in any form by any name. More importantly, that particular ATA, by any name, is typically used to stifle discussion of accumulated consensus as expressed in precedent. As stated, I agree with the idea of focusing most attention on the current article's issues, but other applicable consensus matters; heck, that's how most policies, guidelines and essays are arrived at. --Lexein (talk) 16:05, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted him to get interested in doing something about the policies I suggested because I know for a fact he is very concerned about editors leavng Wiki and deletions in general.

- Comment - Gurt Posh, your stated real intention is to change the "hazy policy" by deleting as many 'TV guest lists' as you can NOW to establish a large enough "precedent" (i.e.WP:OtherStuffNoLongerExistsThanksToGurtPosh) that will then somehow allow you to go delete the long-standing more popular 'TV guest lists'. But you want it both ways here: you say deleted 'TV guest lists' are precedent setting (citing 'Conan O'Brien-2nd nomination', 'Piers Morgan', 'The Howard Stern Show-2nd nomination') when it suites your purpose to convince editors to vote DELETE here; but then you claim other existing 'TV guest lists' are not precedent setting and can't be used to convince editors to vote KEEP here (citing violation of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS]]). You are contradicting yourself. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - In June 2011, Gurt Posh (talk) stated [here] "...it's noted that there is a List of The Daily Show guests. There is indeed a whole category: Category:Lists of The Daily Show guests. I would argue for deletion of all of those too." I do not accept his contradictory explanation that because one 2007 AfD on List of The Daily Show guests resulted in 'no consensus' he just didn't want to nominate it again now because consensus is unclear now and "the policy is hazy". But he has no problem now using this same "hazy policy" to delete the "low-hanging fruit" of 'TV guest lists' which also have "unclear consensus" because of their own past failed nominations for deletion, like his August 2011 nomination of List of celebrity guests on The Howard Stern Show(2nd nomination) which had a 'no consensus' outcome in 2006. He somehow knows consensus is clear there now, but not on List of The Daily Show guests. He claims "Editors simply seem not to have come to a consensus about the (List of The Daily Show guests) yet." Yes they have and that is the real reason nobody (including Gurt Posh) dares nominate it again for deletion now. The past four years of acceptance by the larger Wiki community, along with long-ago failed attempts to delete it, is an implicit vote for STRONG KEEP and everyone knows this. The List of The Daily Show guests will remain forever and grow larger (fine with me) while similar 'TV guest lists' often get deleted (Wiki unfair double-standard in action) without any guidance/help (before nomination) to suggest improvements using the List of The Daily Show guests as an excellent precedent setting format. These obvious substantial contradictions are the reasons I questioned his motives here. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- "Everyone" knows no such thing, and there's no implicit vote for a STRONG KEEP simply because they haven't been deleted yet. There's no conspiracy here, no matter how many times you try to make the mud stick by repeated throws. As I've already said, there's no point in nominating it for a fourth time until policy on guest lists is clarified. Discussions like this are a good way to clarify policy. Gurt Posh (talk) 09:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Isn't it policy/guideline/courtesy to notify all the builders of lists when their list is up for nomination for deletion? I believe so. So was this done in this case? Talk about dirty pool if not. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it is courtesy to notify, and I did notify both the creator of the article and Racingstripes, since he did a lot of work on referencing. Clean pool here. Gurt Posh (talk) 09:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No not really, because that guest list of names was assembled for months recently on the 'Red Eye' main page by many different editors which you apparently did not contact at all.

- Comment Conerning References - The List of The Daily Show guests contains only one in-line citation on a guest name. That's it! Otherwise, has ZERO refences supporting that long list, unless you include the external links as references, which I believe the editors there are doing. Also, I sampled some of the 16 'The Daily Show (by year)' related articles, and the ones I sampled contain ZERO references! I assume none of the 16 do have any references. At least this List of guests on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld has some references (some bad, some good) and is not only depending on the external links for its references, but they probably are depending mosty on the external links, following the standing precedent set by List of The Daily Show guests. The list builders here are at least trying to have some references, but the editors over at The Daily Show Lists obviously feel confident they have the Wiki-wink-of-approval to not even try to find any references at all. Wiki-double-standard I am talking about. --RedEyedCajun (talk) 10:01, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- They clearly all meet up in secret, to plan out their next unreferenced list article. And if it's not true, then why won't they step forward to deny these allegations? Gurt Posh (talk) 10:09, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know what you're talking about Glen Beck for (just you "slanging" apparently), but your hatred of him and, thereby conservatives, has finally revealed itself - your true motive for wanting to delete a Fox 'TV guest list', but you never get around to The Daily Show guest list for deletion. I am a independant libertarian, not a conservative.

- Speedy keep - As previously said, it has a strong indication of notability with multiple significant coverage in RSs, per NMODEL C.3 and GNG. Winning one of the three largest beauty pageants (Miss Póvoa de Santo Adrião), or appearing on the cover of one of the best-selling fashion-glamour magazines in a country (Revista J), is at least a claim to importance meeting NMODEL C.3. Not to mention the multiple significant coverage in RSs. ---Freja Beha Erichsen (talk) 01:35, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The only significant coverage appears to be for her unfortunate death and not for her modeling success, indicating WP:BLP1E. Winning Miss Póvoa de Santo Adrião does not seem notable since the beauty pageant is a local one for a town of ~14,000. Furthermore I cannot find any evidence of Revista J being a notable magazine; there is no page on the Portuguese wiki (same for the above pageant) and no official website.

- I think that you would do best to read Wikipedia:Notability (music). We have well-defined rules over whether musicians meet our notability guidelines, which they have to do to merit articles. These aren't a judgement about the musician him/herself, but instead based on how much they have been reported on by outsiders etc, and on whether they have been featured in charts, or won awards etc. It may well be that Kamal Raja is very talented, but he will have to achieve notability elsewhere before he gets a Wikipedia article - as you can imagine, many relatively-unknown musicians, bands etc would like to have an article, but we aren't here to provide free publicity - instead, we base articles on external evidence of success. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I read the article about Wikipedia:Notability (music). Therefor I have a question. I know he has had recently several interviews on big tv channels and radio stations. But how can I place that in the article. Cause these are not on internet. He is also currently being voted for best newcomer, best singer, best single for the brit asia award. Can i allready mention this? Or does he needs to be nominated first. Also his first track was in the FunX Radio chartlist for almost a year (what is the best way to mention this).

- Keep per Carrite. Lists that compile data about notable subjects in a manner that's been found interesting to at least one editor are useful navigation tools, and this one looks better developed than most. The claim that all of the information here belongs in articles about the individual players is no obstacle to compiling this list. The fact that an external website has changed its structure does not even turn this into an unreferenced list. We easily could have a stand alone article on baseball nicknames, in which case this article would be an almost necessary complement to it.

- I'm also not seeing the applicable section of WP:Indiscriminate. IMHO, this is a specialized glossary and as such fits perfectly into what is expected of a stand-alone list. The list performs a navigation function which the individual articles and relevant categories do not perform. BusterD (talk) 17:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's what I see as an indiscriminate list - maybe its not to others, I don't know - any list which has multiple entries (nicknames, in this case), that aren't notable enough for their own article, and many of which aren't WP:VERIFIABLE. I realize that WP:LISTN says that not all individual entries must be "independently notable", but none of these entries are notable, and furthermore, I see no evidence that the "group or set is notable" and hence - indiscriminate. There is no "navigation" function...because none of the nicknames have articles. The only bluelinks are the players themselves, and so redirects from each nickname to each player would work fine. This isn't remotely close to 2010 AHS (mainly because AHS isn't a list). AHS is entirely verifiable plus, each "entry" (as well as the list as a whole) is clearly notable enough for its own article. At present, there are no RS's discussing baseball nicknames as a whole, and GNG applies to lists just as much as prose. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 18:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This isn't a list of nicknames: it's a list of professional baseball players, all of whom are likely notable under WP:ATHLETE, who have nicknames conferred by sports journalists. The nicknames themselves are at minimum verifiable; names won't make the list until they achieve some currency in sports sources. Redirecting nicknames to players will not work well, not even as entries on a disambiguation page: Duke > Edwin Snider, Chicken > Fred Stanley, Scrap Iron > Phil Garner??? I also don't see these as so numerous that the list will never be complete; there's a finite number of pro baseball players, and only those routinely referred to by nickname by sports journalists will get entries on the page. There's quite a history in baseball, of course, so there may well be quite a few of them. I'm still not seeing grounds to delete this article. The perennial problem with WP:INDISCRIMINATE is that it's rather indiscriminate itself. This article is nothing like any of the listed examples, at minimum. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:45, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not a list of nicknames? Umm, what's the title? And are the player's names or the nicknames listed in alphabetical order? This is most certainly a list of nicknames. Yes, the athletes are notable, but that's not what the article is about. It's about their nicknames, and the vast majority of the nicknames are not notable. Per NLIST, this in and of itself isn't a problem if the overall topic (nicknames in baseball) is notable, but I'm not seeing that either. That's what makes this different then the Hurricane article. As to redirects, yes, you've picked the obvious ones. There are many others, if not most of them, for which redirects would do fine. And if these nicknames are commonly referred to by journalists, then there shouldn't be any problem with sourcing, but that's not what I see.

There's quite a history in baseball, of course, so there may well be quite a few of them. I'm still not seeing grounds to delete this article. The perennial problem with WP:INDISCRIMINATE is that it's rather indiscriminate itself. This article is nothing like any of the listed examples, at minimum. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:45, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's what I see as an indiscriminate list - maybe its not to others, I don't know - any list which has multiple entries (nicknames, in this case), that aren't notable enough for their own article, and many of which aren't WP:VERIFIABLE. I realize that WP:LISTN says that not all individual entries must be "independently notable", but none of these entries are notable, and furthermore, I see no evidence that the "group or set is notable" and hence - indiscriminate. There is no "navigation" function...because none of the nicknames have articles. The only bluelinks are the players themselves, and so redirects from each nickname to each player would work fine. This isn't remotely close to 2010 AHS (mainly because AHS isn't a list). AHS is entirely verifiable plus, each "entry" (as well as the list as a whole) is clearly notable enough for its own article. At present, there are no RS's discussing baseball nicknames as a whole, and GNG applies to lists just as much as prose. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 18:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm also not seeing the applicable section of WP:Indiscriminate. IMHO, this is a specialized glossary and as such fits perfectly into what is expected of a stand-alone list. The list performs a navigation function which the individual articles and relevant categories do not perform. BusterD (talk) 17:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't begin to even imagine how WP:Indiscriminate applies. This is no more "indiscriminate" than, say, 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:56, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:Indiscriminate? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 00:40, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as an WP:Indiscriminate list. It will never be complete, will never be fully sourced (currently only 50 of 350-ish), and these belong in the individual players articles. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 00:40, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: since many real-life baseball and team encyclopedias have section devoted to nicknames, and this is sourced, it seems reasonable to keep Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 00:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- See Other(Projects?)Exist and note that there are 50 (mostly dead) links for over 300 entries. Also, if I'm coming across as badgering will someone please slap me? I just find it simply mind-boggling that a list of this size would have few-to-no comments about the lack of references and overall notability. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 01:10, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally, "this article is crap" isn't enough. If part of the article is referenced, which it is, that's enough. And redlinks? This is an AFD, not a GA nomination Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 15:06, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not saying this article is crap. I'm saying this list is almost entirely unsourced. I most certainly do not believe that only partially sourcing anything is the way to go. And I have no issue with redlinks at all (I think that is in response to my notability comment?). It's the notability of the overall subject that I find lacking. You'll find plenty of sources saying that Ruth was the Babe - there's no issue with some of the individual nicknames. However, per WP:LISTN, I don't see anything about baseball nicknames in general.

- Delete I can't really see how a list like this can ever be anything other then indiscriminate information. Are their sources discussing nicknames in Baseball or individual nicknames? If not, this has no place in Wikipedia. Spartaz Humbug! 07:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
