The result was delete. Nowhere in our guidelines is it written that being a "major artery road of a major city" according to Google Maps guarantees notability. And WP:STREET is just a rule of thumb that doesn't specify which streets are notable. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:30, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

East Boulevard[edit]

Delete - I can't see anything that would be useful in a locality article either. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:04, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looking at G-maps, this appears to be a major artery road of a major city that includes sections of multiple numbered highways including U.S. Route 80, U.S. Route 231 and Alabama State Route 53. --Oakshade (talk) 20:16, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Question I can accept that US highways have their own article, sure. That makes sense. But this is just a local road name for the same highway isn't it? Start going down that route and all of a sudden you have the potential for massive duplication - shouldn't we deal with this in either the locality article or on the major route article? In either (or both) cases it's not going to amount to more than a sentence or two of notable information in most cases is it? I just don't see how this road justifies an article all to itself. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Those are in fact multiple highways that branch out into multiple different directions but converge for this stretch. In this case you are correct as long stretches of the continuous road have different name designations, East Road and Eastern Road for example. I'm okay with merging Eastern Boulevard (Alabama) into this one and containing content of the former.--Oakshade (talk) 21:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can't find any coverage of this road that isn't an address. The one passing mention of it I saw said it's also known as "the bypass" locally, but I couldn't find any coverage of that either. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While numbered routes have consensus notability by themselves, named streets on which they travel through a particular geographic area do not appear to automatically inherit said notability. I see no evidence of standalone notability of this particular stretch of pavement to satisfy WP:GNG. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, probably. Per WP:STREET, Montgomery is entitled to 4 or 5 street article (for the city) or nine (for the metro area). Is East Boulevard one of the four or five most notable streets in Montgomery (or nine for the area)? Maybe. If not, it's probably close. The article says that it's a "major arterial road". The notable entity Winton M. Blount Cultural Park is located on the street. It's a major commercial street. It's heavily traveled. The Eastdale Mall is on it. It seems to be an important part of the fabric of Montgomery, which is a large (second largest in Alabama) and historically significant regional center. I don't see the gain in removing an article about it. Full disclosure, though: I like street articles and have written a couple myself. Herostratus (talk) 22:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of notability in cultural, infrastructure or other terms. If other articles had referenced this entry, it might have been worth keeping. However, as a stand-alone article with no context, it fails WP:NOTE and I do not see another compelling reason to keep it around. Ebikeguy (talk) 00:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge content into Hanover High School (Mechanicsville, Virginia) if it isn't there already. --Simple Bob^{a.k.a. The Spaminator} (Talk) 07:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hanover High School (Mechanicsville, Virginia). I have merged content into the target so outright deletion would breach our GFDL obligations. There are, though, alternative courses of action, if converting to redirect is considered objectionable such as moving the article to a sub-page of the talk page of the target and deleting the resulting redirect. TerriersFan (talk) 14:38, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A merge/redirect does seem like a sensible option, the loaded gun threat of GFDL breaking aside. In point of fact merging an article while a discussion is underway is generally considered an attempted fait accompli. If you were really that worried about it a history merge is the way to go as opposed to trying to force your preffered result with a pre-emptive merger. And of course if a consensus to delete emerges the merger can simply be undone, so it's an empty threat anyway. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:13, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it was not a threat; it was just a statement. I don't have a preferred result; frankly I really couldn't care less what happens to such an inconsequential page. All that I'm doing is making the point that GFDL needs to be looked after, whether by a redirect or the alternative means I suggested, or by a history merge (as you properly suggested) doesn't matter. I would make the point in passing that WP:BEFORE encourages merging to be actively considered before proposing deletion and there is no evidence that nominator has addressed this. Whatever happens as a result of this AfD then content can be subsequently merged/re-added as a simple editorial action. In truth, I find it hard to get very excited either way.

Syracuse University ambulance[edit]

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

Reads like the Myspace or Facebook page for this student club. Does not meet notability guidelines for organizations. Supplied references are largely primary ones or to the school newspaper and I'm not finding significant coverage where the organization is the focus beyond that. Definitely worth a mention in a larger article on the university but not a dedicated article. There is some mention of awards but in the end this is a volunteer EMS and a student club at a university. RadioFan (talk) 12:12, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just a comment that this discussion on deletion of this article is not intended to question the value of the organization or the work the students put into it, only about whether or not a dedicated Wikipedia article is appropriate. RadioFan (talk) 12:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here Right Now[edit]

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

Charted at $153 on the billboard top 200 for a very short time, which may or may not be notable enough for a keep. One single was used on television as well, but failed to chart anywhere. over all notability is borderline. perhaps a redirect as the little bit of content here can help fill up the lacking main article Graham Colton which needs major work. Alan - talk 23:25, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if only because the song is notable to me. CycloneGU (talk) 01:07, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment this isn't about a song, it's about an album, I'm a big fan of Graham Colton myself, but because you and I like the album and songs on it doesn't make it notible. Alan - talk 04:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit ambiguous here, I'd be best to clarify. I mean that a certain song from the album is notable, thus I think the album itself could have an argument for being worth keeping even if not as notable. CycloneGU (talk) 04:15, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There was plenty of coverage for the album when it was released, unfortunately it's all since gone from the internet, only small articles are left on mostly unreliable sources. I'd like to save the article somehow, but can't find anything to do that with as per sources/refs/cites. Even Graham's own official site has changed and all content back to these days are gone from it. I tried the internet wayback machine, but it's lacking too much. on a personal note, thanks at least for not being like most here pushing opinions, i'm here nominating an article about someone I know and like.. somethign most would never do.

Weak Delete - If both the artist and a song from the album were notable, I'd favor keeping the article even if the album if itself is not notable. However, Graham Colton himself is just borderline notable; only one song of his is well-known, and he doesn't seem to have made a successful career out of that one song. Hence, the only reason to have an article on the album is because it includes a notable song.

Keep. Colton is certainly notable, and if, as the nominator has stated "There was plenty of coverage for the album when it was released" then the album is notable. What we have is verifiable and the article can be expanded using sources such as Allmusic's review, Charts & Awards, and credits, and Dallas Morning News. It wouldn't be the best album article we have, but it would be better than deleting it.--Michig (talk) 06:15, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix Affirmations[edit]

Having survived one AfD, the article has seen zero improvement. The creator and the only two substantial editors of the article are long-gone, and the prospect of the article ever meeting WP standards seems pretty low. » Swpb^{τ • ¢} 20:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Actually, what I really think should happen here is a merge to CrossWalk America, but there's no there there at the moment. There are third-party sources for this, although, in general, they look to support an article on the organization/event more than the affirmations themselves. This 2006 article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer actually isn't half bad. Other possible (paywalled) references include brief coverage in the Wichita Eagle and a series of articles[1][2][3][4] in the Arizona Republic and a Journal & Courier article that appears (from Google search fragments) to discuss the history of CrossWalk America in some depth. All of which is well and good, but still doesn't fix the problems here. Serpent's Choice (talk) 21:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tan Haur[edit]

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

Procedural reboot of an AFD in which an editor removed the AfD notice from the article. Artist of arguable notability under WP:ARTIST.

In my opinion, the closest things to significance are the residency reference and maybe the show exhibition press releases. Note that the Saatchi stuff is essentially self-published (Artists can simply create their own, as I have created one for myself, there is no editorial verification of the uploaded information.)

Other than that point, I'd ask that my nomination not be considered a delete or a keep !vote, simply procedural.

I'd ask everyone looking at this to insure that the AfD notice is not removed this time around. -- joe decker ^{talk to me} 21:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't have any prior knowledge on any of them, so far I've looked at the SI Foundation, and was able (a few minutes back) to find verification of that award to Tan Haur on their site. In looking for secondary coverage of the award, (e.g., is getting the award a Big Deal?) in English I found only [5] from gnews archives, well, that and a story that's offline now. The article I linked suggests just under 200 recipients in the last decade from Signapore, and an average grant amount of circa $4K US. Not speaking Chinese, it's quite possible i"m missing Chinese-language sources. I am gratified to see the award is verifiable through a reliable source.

As things stand a redirect would probably do. But it is a major weakness of Wikipedia that a commercial enterprise on this scale is reduced to a couple of lines. Wiki guidelines are largely at fault, I fear. Almost any information will come from the organisation itself, especially encyclopaedic information about finances, employees, and activities. So called third party sources are almost entirely dependent on material published by the company (if they differ they are likely to be wrong) and analysis is commercially valuable and not freely available. Much the same tends to apply to the public sector. But it really should not be necessary to question the notability of an organisation with a turnover in the billions of Euros. --AJHingston (talk) 13:19, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability is not established in accordance with the general notability guidelines or the topical notability guidelines for athletes. While the article states that the subject had a short career with the Philadelphia Eagles, I have not been able to verify this statement. In order to meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and notability, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or assert a subject's importance on a talk page or AfD page – the article itself must document notability through independent and reliable sources. At this point, the article is lacking in this area. Cind.amuse 20:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's right. It was deleted twice. I was still adding things to the page and checking sources, with the editor open, when he deleted it the first time. I continued making my changes because he had deleted it before I was even finished. It was after I had finished adding things that he deleted it the second time. Snowclrops (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: As mentioned, this is a new band. As such many people who are just finding out about them would benefit from having the page up so they can learn who they are. They are important simply because they are new which is what most of their coverage and interest has been about so far. In the next week or two, when people have lost interest because they are no longer new, if they have not managed to garner enough attention or activity to keep the page, then the page should be deleted for they aren't important enough to have a page indefinitely. However, I don't believe deleting the page in the meantime will help anyone or Wikipedia and would most likely will just cause someone else to recreate the page as we've already seen in this case. Snowclrops (talk) 02:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately it's not a question of not helping anyone. An encyclopedia is a resource of subjects that are already notable, and proven to be so. This band is far too new to have acquired the minimum of recognition, and at this time they do not meet Wikipedia criteria at WP:BAND, there are no WP:RS reliable sources to prove it, and the band are not likely to meet these criteria in the immediate future. Liking a band, or 'believing' they are good, are not in the rules. Userfying the page probably won't help, because there is a limit to the time a draft article can remain in user space - especially one that clearly promotes a subject. An article can always be created easily enough when the band is ready for it, and can be supported by referenced sources. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You don't follow kpop, do you? I think I finally figured out where you're coming from. If this was an American band, I'd probably agree with you. Five guys make a boy band (which hasn't been popular in the US for like a decade). They've just come out, just released a mini-album, and you've never heard of them. Are they with Disney? No. Nickelodeon? No. Then obviously, they're probably going to fail in half a year and are entirely un-notable.

That's what I would say if this were American music too, but it isn't. I have every confidence that within two months they'll probably chart (though probably not high), probably be on the radio (definitely a music program), probably be featured in at least one TV show, and it'll meet the requirements for a band. Heck, within probably two days (not sure of the schedule), there will be a link of them joining the rotation of a music program which will fit criteria 11 of WP:BAND. You say that's not likely in the immediate future and that I'm optimistic and just "like" the band and "believe" they'll be good. No, that's not true. I just know how kpop works.

I was skeptical at first, because there are some groups who just pop up with little notice and pop out just as fast, but I think they've shown already that they're not going to be that type of group. See, most groups are formed...no trained over several years. They're a major financial commitment. If a good company creates a group, they're not going to disappear right away. They'll stick with it. Beyond that, Korea has a ton of shows dedicated towards idols that they constantly want filled with new talent.

For example, check out Infinite. They came out a year ago in a similar situation and they have a similar image to B1A4. Their management company was small with only one hit group Epik High (which isn't even an idol group, I believe). Yet, they managed to chart with their first album, had a full hour long variety show just about them shortly after debuting, was on regular rotation in all the music shows, and even had a short TV series that featured a behind-the-scenes look at the band before the debuted. Were they a breakaway hit? No, they were just a regular band in Korea, but that's what often happens in Korea.

So while none of this proves that they right now meet the requirements of bands (which I just have to admit are kind of biased in the way they're written to accommodate how the American music industry works), I hope this makes you realize that we're not crazy fanatics. This is just how kpop works. While none of this is referenced, please note that the Korean page on Wikipedia for B1A4 was created several days before even the first English article was posted with pretty much the same information and it has yet to be flagged as not notable and I highly doubt it will. Why do you figure that is? Snowclrops (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unique contribution to the Korean music industry: B1A4 has had a unique contribution to the music industry already just by the way they chose to market themselves pre-debut. By using a webtoon they have gained much attention from web, by appealing to fans in this unique way they have already gained many fans. Many would even attribute this marketing tactic as the reason why they became a world wide twitter trend. (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:26, 21 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

This has got absolutely nothing to do with whether Wikipedia editor follow certain topics or not. Editors do not express their opinions here based on whether they like it or not. Experienced editors comment here on the subject's capacity to met the criteria. This band does not, because it cannot proof of notability according to WP:RS and and WP:V.

Keep They meet criteria 2 for WP:BAND. They currently are number 86 on the real-time Melon chart, a national music chart. The page says they're down 16 spots which would suggest that they've reached at least number 70. I would post a picture but I'm not sure that would meet Wikipedia's strict copyright standards, but I have it if it is requested. I'm not updating the main page, because it would be better to use another chart that keeps records like the Gaon Chart rather than a real-time chart there, and it'll take more than a day for those charts to be compiled.

This is verified by All Kpop, which I would consider a reliable news source especially considering there are videos. Snowclrops (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to their schedule, they are already scheduled to debut (and consequently be on rotation) on Mnet's M Countdown, KBS's Music Bank, and SBS's Inkigayo this weekend. These are notable under Criteria 11 and almost certain to take place. All of these are national music programs where they'll be performing on the same stage as some of the biggest kpop musicians. I'm not updating the main page because we've already noted that they've made their live debut. It may also be important to note that KBS World is broadcast on over 50 stations worldwide so this would actually mean they'll be performing on an international music program.

Um...I'm not sure what the relisting thing means, but to clearly reiterate my points in one spot. The article was put up for deletion based on not meeting notability AKA WP:BAND. However, I believe they meet that criteria right now in at least two different ways. Namely, they meet Criteria 11 since they're on rotation on at least three music programs currently and plan to be on a fourth this Sunday. Namely, they've made their debut on Music Core, Music Bank, and M Countdown.

Furthermore, they meet Criteria 2 because they've consistently been on the real-time Melon chart as well as making the weekly Gaon Chart. Snowclrops (talk) 03:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They really do seem to pass criteria 2 what with the Melon and Gaon chart listings, and possibly 11 as well. Gaon is a national Korean music chart, and they're listed as peaking at 6 (so far). This band is also completely brand new, with an initial release on 4/21, so to be honest my initial instinct was to vote delete but...the guidelines do seem to support inclusion, and there's additional sourcing in the article.
I'd be very interested if anybody who speaks Korean or is familiar with Korean media could give some insight into the nature and quality of the additional sourcing. My vote could conceivably change if I'm misunderstanding something here, but Gaon is a national chart, at the very least. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 20:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since we're relisting the page again, then I can mention that they now also meet Criteria 12 of WP:BAND. Over the course of last week, they had several interviews on Starry Night radio which altogether totalled to roughly a half-hour broadcast. This was mentioned on All Kpop, but you can also find their interview on youtube, unfortunately I've yet to find a translation but that doesn't matter here. Parts 1, 2, and 3.

Wow, that's quite a laundry list of accusations. Care to supply any diffs supporting any of that? I agree this brand new editor has gone a bit overboard in his defense of the article in this AfD, but I see no harassment, badgering, canvassing, disruptive editing, and certainly no "personal attacks." I suggested that he take it down a notch with the over-posting in this AfD on his talk page the other day and his response to me was quite reasonable. That said, perhaps I'm missing something -- I certainly don't see evidence of any of your accusations in this AfD. I'm not suggesting you're being disingenuous, I just don't see any of this anywhere, and them's some serious accusation-bombs. Curious to know what you're referring to, is all.

Keep Huh, it looks like boy bands are still alive in Korea. Anyways, as expressed above, B1A4 meets multiple criteria of WP:BAND and, as can be told from a news search, there is a significant amount of recent news about them and their album.

Delete – although there is a notable concept covered by the title of the article, it is not at all what is being described in the article. The article describes "Pauline mysticism" as a form of mysticism practised by believers, and can be seen as pushing the non-notable book Experience Heaven Now by Barry Hall, "teacher of practical Pauline mysticism". The notable concept covered by the reliable sources is something else: it belongs to Pauline theology and pertains to mystical aspects of the teachings of Paul.

Gossip is "idle"/"light" speculation (see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gossip ). Based on the sources that I found, there has been discussion about particular implication's for the woman's career and the fact that she had not been known to the public before the photo came out are not "fluff."

I think it's clear that this won't be a standalone article, but I think in regards to the Situation Room photo the speculation about Tomason needs to be taken seriously, since various secondary source publications are reporting about it in detail in multiple articles.

Speculations that a woman who appears in an official White House photo, taken by an official White House photographer and officially released to the press, that such a women is super secret and her career is destroyed because now her face is public are so incredibly asinine that they have no business in an encyclopedia.

Being a head with a caption in the initial photograph is not an event. Please try to keep the AfD rationales within the bounds of common sense. Tarc (talk) 01:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, those are not two separate events. The photograph is the event, and her notability flows exclusively from the photograph. Describing every single thing that happens with regard to the photograph and her relationship to it doesn't mean you're describing multiple events, you're just describing multiple details of a single event -- and the event is a photograph. In order to pass BLP1E, a person must be notable for separate, not directly related (ie "separate") events. There are clearly common sense exceptions that can be made to what I've just said (e.g. John Wilkes Booth), but I'm completely confident you haven't discovered one of them with your argument. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 01:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ginseng for the providing an insightful comment that is actually possible to reply to. I don't completely agree but I changed my Keep to a Weak Keep. In the actual BLP1E policy I don't see the word "separate" used in describing the events. Nor the idea of notability flowing from one event to the next. I don't disagree with you. I sounds like a good way to describe multiple events ("famous photo" and "newspapers editing out out our political figures") that should be considered one event. But the policy doesn't actually say that. --MarsRover (talk) 04:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Director for Counterterrorism for the National Security sounds like a notable position to me. Appearance in the picture means she is highly notable for this one event but this does not seem to me to mean she can't be notable enough for us anyway given the importance of her job. It seems to me she is notable for this one event but that this is supported taking us beyond BLP1E. Also as an aside they were commenting on her in Have I got news for you on the TV in the UK and I wondered who she was. It was nice to find out here! User:WhisperToMe suggested additions here User:WhisperToMe/Tomason would also seem to me useful extra content. Merging into the The Situation Room (photograph) would seem to me just to be deletion as it would unbalance that article to have much more than her name there. (Msrasnw (talk) 11:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Even if this article is kept we will not be adding that content here, it's a BLP (an encyclopedic style life story) and not a conspiracy speculative rumour article. That is the reason for its deletion as a one event. Also her unelected employment position does not assert any specific notability either, her job description and reported title is not a historic post in any way. All her current notability is related to the photograph and that is where until there is further details emerge or occur that is where in relation to wikipedia notability guidelines her name should redirect to.Off2riorob (talk) 11:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, and preferably, redirect to The Situation Room (photograph). It still is useful to identify her in the context of the now-infamous photograph. If her notability rises above a little photoshopping in a minor newspaper, however, I would accept article recreation. Peter (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Situation Room (photograph), assuming that remains as an article; Delete otherwise: She just plain doesn't meet WP:BIO yet, even if she might in the future. Right now the only thing that makes her interesting to anyone is the game of "Who's that leftover person in this photo that's hot right now?" — which will fade in the next month unless she appears somewhere else. Her source-verifiable notability comes solely from (possibly inadvertently) appearing in a photo where everyone else is arguably notable; that's already covered by WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:BLP1E. We don't have a separate article for Andrew Giuliani because of his (well-known and more active) appearance in his dad's inauguration footage in 1994. Other arguments that have been given for Audrey Tomason being notable right now, but are mostly based on assumptions:
1. Even though we don't know her, she must be key to this operation, or she wouldn't have been there: But drawing a direct line between those two is hasty generalization fallacy — she could have not been there 15 seconds before or after, and come in with other new information right at that moment. Being familiar and useful enough to the other people in the room to stand in the room without being suspicious, and being of the executive decision level of the other people there, are two different things. There were
2. She must be someone important because words like "director" and "counterterrorism" were in the title applied to her in this photo: But we have no idea what "director" means in that section of the government, and someone else already pointed out that there is a "Senior Director" that is someone else, and we have no idea how many "directors" there are, and no evidence that the title even means anything, rather than being one of those custom-created titles that executive-branch staff get so they don't have to spend minutes explaining their duties to everyone they come across somewhere else.
3. A couple of fringe newspapers edited her out: But they also edited Hillary Clinton out. That's about The Situation Room (photograph) and about women in society, but not about Tomason.

An analysis piece on The Atlantic two days ago pretty much explains the problem (though the author seems to take the opposition position, assuming that this Wikipedia article was already a done deal):

But what's fascinating is that Tomason wasn't actually the only young staff member in the room, Tommy Vietor, the National Security Council spokesperson, told me. "There is no mystery or story here," Vietor said in an email. "There were at least half a dozen people with similar profiles in the immediate vicinity where that photo was taken." Yet only one has a Wikipedia page. [...] I know the sit room's photograph's moment has passed, but I hadn't seen the presence of so many other staff members like Tomason noted anywhere.

Strong Keep Obama has previously said that only a very small group of people in his government were informed about the operation, and that he did not even tell his own family such as the First Lady. Thus this means she is of such importance that she was allowed access to this extremely top secret information, otherwise she would have not been allowed to be there. A random young government employee would not be allowed to be there, even if the government says she just happened to be there. Also, the person who nominated this article for deletion claims that the photograph controversy landed her a wikipedia page, which is not true. The page was created before that, though in light of the photograph.Michael5046 (talk) 00:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Once it was actually happening there was no more reason to keep it so super-secret. Your second point: As you created the article on 4 May, I am sure you can tell us what your sources were at the time. The Daily Mail reported on this photo on 5 May, apparently based on the Flickr release of the photo, so presumably it was released on 4 May or earlier. Hans Adler 06:15, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It really doesn't matter whether Obama has said that "only a very small group of people" were aware of this. That doesn't automatically confer notability on that group of people. You may be right that she is "of such importance," but we are concerned about the Wikipedia definition of notability here. The notability guidelines do not care whether a "random young government employee" would or wouldn't be allowed to be there; they care whether or not the person at issue is notable, and in the case of a BLP they care whether or not the person at issue is notable for more than one event. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 07:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a clear case of WP:BLP1E. Her title does sound impressive, but if it were as notable as some are saying, she would have been mentioned by reliable sources prior to the photo. She wasn't, which makes it pretty clear that this is a single event (and not even one that has anything to do with biography, just her gender). Primary sources such as alumni reports and organizational flowcharts that mention her name aren't a substitute for notable mention prior to this event.--Loonymonkey (talk) 21:35, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the project was used in the beginning and unreliable content that was posted here was used to increase controversy regarding this living person and we were republished and cited and sadly became the primary false source - that speculative and original research was removed from our article and through that viewing figures were reduced - if you stick to the actual boring details you will get lower viewing figures - now that experienced editors are watching the article similar content has no chance of posting again - and viewing figures will be unaffected by a redirect to the photo article.

When people are curious about someone with a peripheral role in a major event, they look him or her up on Wikipedia, and those people should have the opportunity to find out what is reliably known about Tomason.

List of fictional characters named Sarah or Sara[edit]

Per WP:NOTDIR, which prohibits "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional)." I fail to see how being called "Sarah or Sara" is a significant enough connection between these characters for there to be a listing of them.

Delete per "WP:NOT an indiscriminate list" of information.

No structuring, ordering principle within the list. No encyclopedic value. Note that it was actually created with the edit summary "hooray we have a new directory of names that runs against our WP:NOT a directory policy, yayyyyyyy" – which would make it a borderline case for speedy deletion as an intentionally disruptive (WP:POINT) creation, if not for the fact that the creator apparently considered it a lesser evil while refactoring this list out from the main Sarah (given name) article.

Could not locate any significant coverage in a secondary source to establish notability. Maintenance tag linking to WP:GNG removed by article's author, so I presume these are all the references they can bring to bear. Marasmusine (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm only seeing forum posts and Wordpress blogs discussing this topic on Google -- and a review of the article's history demonstrates that the nominator has been down this path with the article's author. Don't really see anything suggesting notability. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 14:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just noticed a problem with the three sources (as opposed to external links) offered as the article presently stands. I was puzzled by the inclusion of one of the references, which indeed would be a reliable source if it in any way referred to the party in the article - I am fairly sure I have used that source myself and was puzzled why the Northern Ireland local election results from 2005 were relevant. Of course, the source doesn't mention the party; as the party didn't exist in 2005 according to the article, that is hardly surprising. I checked the edit history and noticed that when an editor added the infobox (in this series of edits), he used the infobox from the English Democrats Party article as a template. Nothing wrong with that per se when you want to get the formatting and syntax correct, but the references weren't removed from the infobox, and so still refer to the English Democrats Party. So as the article stands at present, there are no sources that the party is a registered party and the sources offered, at present, do not refer to the party. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 18:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I also want to point out that before I took this to AfD, I asked at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics if there was a more specific notability guideline for political parties. For example is being registered with the Electorial Commission enough for inclusion? No response as yet. Marasmusine (talk) 21:14, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I was wondering about that myself, particularly regarding the registration question. Honestly I think that the mere fact of registration wouldn't be enough; while looking for the current registration status for this party, I came across a list of parties that have been deregistered since 2002 here, which lists by my count around 400 parties that have been deregistered in that time. It really does come down to independent reliable-source coverage. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:40, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable. I should say that a search on the Electoral Commission site does confirm that the party was registered on 11 Feb 2009 and the leader, nominator and treasurer is Andrew James Constantine, so there is no verification problem there. The article goes on to give a date of founding of 20 Nov 2010 and that gap would be unusual in any circumstances. There must be a story there which could be told if there were reliable sources. Perhaps if it only takes two people to register a party it might take 21 months to gather together enough for a launch. I'm in favour of a fairly low standard of notability for political parties but their acheivement so far is the 354 votes they got in a local election earlier this month. In the absence of coverage in independent sources and any other evidence of notability I think it fails GNG. --AJHingston (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No substantial independent coverage of the party, so fails WP:GNG. Has only fielded one candidate in a local election - who wasn't elected.

The result was redirect to Isaac Asimov#Other writings. The arguments for deletion far outweigh the arguments for retention given. In this case, lack of independent coverage and none provided in so that notability can be established, which have not been adequately addressed by those favoring retention. Opting for a redirection to preserve edit history. –MuZemike 15:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

World Season Calendar[edit]

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

This proposal for calendar reform is not notable (WP:N) for lack of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. It is briefly described at the end of Isaac Asimov#Other writings, but a redirect there has been reverted, hence this nomination. Sandstein 12:40, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence to substantiate these claims. SimpsonDG (talk) 12:46, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Plainly not notable. I'd certainly support a redirect. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 14:46, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A notable calendar reform concept published by a well-known author in an off-line work. This Deletionist attempt (after repeated, aggressive page-blanking attempts) is unwarranted, but typical of the war against content in general, and against Calendar reform specifically. Please note that "Notability" as defined on WP does not mean "only notable ONLINE citations." In 1973, his publication of this calendar concept, and it's notability, obviously occurred offline. WP:N (General Notability Guideline) states: "Sources are not required to be available online". This is something that many Wikipedian Deletionists often ignore. Nhprman 14:52, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect even "Inclusionists" recognize that a primary source -- for example, a book published by the person who invented the calendar -- is not valid for demonstrating notability, offline or online. There is no "war against content" happening here, and the "aggressive page blanking" you are referring to is, as far as I can tell from the article's history, an attempt by the admin who nominated this AfD to save the topic by converting it to a Redirect. If you can find reliable, significant coverage of this calendar that was not written by the calendar's inventor, by all means add it to the article. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 15:04, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A book does indeed count as a primary source. And when the unjustified war on off-line content ends - including the rather extreme interpretation of "notability" (it's never meant to mean "online notoriety") - the strong opposition to it I'm demonstrating will, too. Thanks. Nhprman 15:12, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This online/offline distinction you're drawing has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. That Asmiov's book is an "offline" source is not the issue. It's that it's Asimov's book. A primary source cannot be used to demonstrate notability. Read the guidelines. It's clear you don't know what "primary" means in this case because if you agree that the book is a "primary" source, you are agreeing that the book cannot be used to demonstrate notability. A source must be independent of the topic at hand -- that is, a source cannot be a "primary" source. It must be "secondary." Very clearly, Isaac Asimov writing about his own calendar proposal is not "independent of the topic at hand." So, again, if you can find secondary sources -- some other reliable source writing about Asimov's calendar proposal in a significant way -- by all means add it to the article and I will happily change my vote. This is not about online vs. offline content, and I don't know why you think it is. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 15:18, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I say this because this is usually the standard line from deletionists, and frankly, if I cannot go right now and find *links* to these sources, they will be assumed to have never existed, so it clearly is an issue of online notoriety and the production of ONLINE news sources that establish this version of "notability" for some people, though I wouldn't presume to say this applies to you. Nhprman 20:07, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Isaac Asimov#Other writings as possible search term. No third party reliable sources to demonstrate that this is a notable topic. -Atmoz (talk) 23:07, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article should clearly be kept. The only justification for deleting it is because of a pedantic adherence by Deletionists to their strict interpretation of Wikipedia's rules. How about a little common sense here? The intent of the notability rule is to prevent the introduction of trivial or frivolous topics, such as an article on some high school kid in Montana who's considered "cool" by his friends. Should such an article be deleted? Of course it should -- it's of no general interest. But what is gained by deleting a general-interest article on a calendar reform proposed by a well-known author? This is clearly not a frivolous topic; nothing is gained by the article's deletion, and significant content is lost. Also, as a more of a common-sense indication of notability, I would point to the fact that a number of people have considered this article sufficiently notable to justify taking the time and effort to translate it into three other languages for other-language editions of Wikipedia. I have also found a number of external Web sites (ignoring content farms) that link to the article, whose links would be broken if the article were deleted. I see nothing whatsoever to be gained by the deletion of this article. SimpsonDG (talk) 04:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as per SimpsonDG above. The content is clearly encyclopaedic, and the article itself serves to support Calendar_reform#Specific_proposals. The proposal is mentioned at Asimov's article but very briefly, and it is not clear how the proposal works. Content could be merged, but that would just cause unnecessary clutter in a section best served for biographical purposes - frankieMR (talk) 13:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These "keep" opinions do not address the core policy requirement of WP:V#Notability: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Per WP:BURDEN, it is the responsibility of those who whish to retain the article to supply such sources. Because nobody so far has named reliable third-party sources (whether offline or online) that cover this calendar reform proposal, policy requires that it is deleted. Sandstein 14:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Likewise you didn't address the point being made, which is that the notability guidelines are meant to keep the project from running astray as consequence of unattended inclusion of frivolous content. The guideline template itself notes that it is an accepted standard that we are expected to follow, but common sense is advised and occasional exceptions are foreseen. If this was my calendar proposal being argued then notability would definitely go against it. Without going that far, if this was Ann Coulter's calendar proposal then it would also come down to the particular notability of the proposal, since she is known and regarded in a separate field of knowledge. Asimov on the other hand was and still is a respected figure of the scientific community, and the proposal is a significant addition to the subject of calendar reform proposals (as opposed to the subject of Issac Asimov himself, for whom a brief mention of the proposal does suffice). I'm not saying that the proposal inherits notability from Asimov, what I'm saying is that the content is relevant to the encyclopaedia for its scholar and even general purpose value, while also being verifiable and discriminate - frankieMR (talk) 15:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no coverage about this in reliable sources to establish this proposal as a notable calendar reform proposal. Not everything that a notable person does is notable. With respect to Asimov being a respected figure in the scientific community implying that the proposal should thus be documented here in Wikipedia, I am not able to find any scientific discussion of this taking this as a serious proposal. -- Whpq (talk) 16:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No independent treatment of this topic is cited in the article, a Google Books search turns up no references at all, and the failure of the "keep" proponents here to cite any secondary sources suggests that such sources simply do not exist. Fails the GNG. Deor (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, either to Isaac Asimov#Other writings or to Calendar reform#Proposals; it is already covered in both places. This proposal of his has never been seriously discussed or considered by anyone else. --MelanieN (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not Sure I Care I just stumbled on this by accident. With the result that we have:

Possibility 1: Get Rid of It Trivial, no one cares, it's all unreferenced, and certainly not notable, at least in any encyclopedic sense. I imagine that few diehard fans don't know all of this, and nobody else cares.

Possibility 2: Keep It, It's Harmless Provided it can be referenced, this list might be useful for some researcher somewhere, and in the name of completeness, it's useful.

Possibility 3: From the person who holds to Possibility 1: "Possibility 2 is garbage. What will we get next, the name of somebody's cat???"

There's a genuine issue behind all that. When does Wikipedia become so overloaded with strange, trivial lists and details that it's beyond any plausible or reasonable use by anyone?

Just asking.

Keep per WP:GNG. Here's what it comes down to for me: there is a good deal of information in the article sourced to reliable sources that should reasonably be presented in Wikipedia. If this article were deleted, then large portions of the material would get pushed back to the article on Born This Way. That article, then, would be left heavy on the coverage of this song. It makes more sense to keep the information parallel and out in a separate article for the song. —C.Fred (talk) 18:56, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. So to not "over-load" one article, you create an entire extra article for a small amount of content. In the long run, your creating extra articles, work, and bulk (not to mention breaking the agreed upon rules) instead of just adding a few more KB to Born this Way, which is still, even in Legolas' sandbox, quite small and comfortable.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 19:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I agree with C.Fred. Certainly the information should not be deleted--even if consensus decides the article is not worth standing alone, a merge would be more appropriate. The article can be expanded further from the sources already used in addition to others that have not yet been added, and surely there will be more information to include (production details, reception, personnel, etc.) in less than two weeks once the album is released. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, your using Wiki: Crystal here, you have no way of knowing what will happen to the song. Secondly, the song has been performed several times and still has almost zero coverage. We are not going to bend the rule because editors feel that the song will soon chart. If anything, it should be put in an incubator, and hidden away until it (if it does) achieves any charting or more information.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 19:16, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My argument has never been that the song will chart. My argument is that the song has received enough coverage to warrant its own article (which will not be given the opportunity to reach its full potential if the article is deleted). --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:22, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Whether or not a song charted should not be a determining factor as to whether or not we have an article on it.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly disagree on that point: using the notability test in WP:NSONGS plays an important role in not having millions of articles about album tracks. Nearly every album track will get mentioned in at least two reviews of the album, and people would want to use that as justification to create articles about every single one of them. What we have here is some trivial points about the song, and nothing that really even needs to be covered in the parent album article. The flip side of the problem is that people use charting as a pretext to create articles based on the argument "but WP:NSONGS says it's notable! It has to get an article!", but at least that's a bounded problem. Having articles on every album track in the universe is not.—Kww(talk) 01:47, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it hasn't even been released yet. It is purely fan based and is not notable enough as of yet. --User:spiceitup08 —Preceding undated comment added 21:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Keep: The song has been performed to a record crowd on Today, on Oprah, on an HBO special, at Elton John's Tiara Ball, dozens of times on tour, covered on American Idol, and will be played again on American Idol tomorrow. All of these performances have second party coverage and have been referenced in reliable sources. There are 24 valid references in the article, merging this with the Born This Way album article would either cause an abundance of information towards this particular song, or alot of information to be lost. The song is from a notable artist, with a notable producer and features a highly notable guitarist, and the article is still under significant expansion. The creation of this article may have been premature, but so would be it's deletion.

Or, to be really anal about this, the article could be placed in the incubator until it charts in a few days. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:58, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A standalone article on a song that hasn't been released yet DOES seem a little premature to me. Will it chart? Almost certainly. Will it deserve (i.e., have earned) undisputed notability moments afterwards? Again, I feel a "yes" coming on. And will it then deserve a full article? Again, I think "yes." But I am concerned about encouraging other editors to fill Wikipedia with articles about other songs by other artists which have not "yet" gone anywhere (has anyone noticed the proliferation of articles about Ukrainian footballers? They each have their own article, and my proposal for deletion based on a single citation in a foreign language for any of them has been successfully disputed). I am not swayed by the "give it a chance" argument-- that is what sandboxes are for, for incubation. Articles should only be in Wikipedia when their topic has achieved the required public status, not in anticipation of that status. But once that status has been achieved, then by all means. Do not merge, there will be no point. Hold off a couple of days/ weeks, out of respect for the process. KDS4444^Talk 03:35, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In most cases I would agree with you 100%, but in this case, the song has received a lot of coverage in RS, even before any single has been released, so that would seem to justify a stand alone article. Plus, unlike most song articles, which are no more than 2 or 3 lines long, this one is already fairly well fleshed out, so I see no reason to delete it.

Merge to Born This Way - the article should be rewritten as a short paragraph so that the available information is not lost, but I agree that there is too much detail on a yet to be released song. It's too soon for a full article. If there is any concerns about the sources and content being lost, then some of it could be kept on the Talk page for Born This Way so that it could then be used as source for a new article if needed. 189.216.23.144 (talk) 01:00, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - with Born This Way. It may be a future single, or may chart via download sales during the album's release week, but I think at this point the live performances of this song are simply for early promotion of the album.

You are simply asking others to bend the rules of WIki: SONGS because its Gaga. We have rules to keep, not to break them. You have no idea if it will fourish. Honestly, Gaga's popularity is in severe decline, so I doubt the song will chart. As another editor said, place it in an incubator and if it does flourish, we can add it back.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:23, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about Gaga's popularity (or supposed decline). My frustration with this particular AfD is growing. The song has received enough press coverage to warrant its own article, AND the article is guaranteed to expand further in about 10 days as the album will be released then. Surely the reception and personnel sections will grow, additional details about the song will be released, etc. I understand that notability requirements are necessary and crystal balling is discouraged, but sometimes articles should be allowed to grow. ~~There are more Delete votes here than Keep votes~~ (Edit: Actually, I believe there are an equal number of Delete and Keep votes, but three additional Merge votes), but I hope admins see that there are enough Keep votes to let the article alone. It does not contain redundant information presented in the Born This Way article and will be growing as additional information about the song is collected. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:34, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a few keeps are IPs, so in reality there are more deletes, not including the merges. Look, we have time, the nom is only like 2 days old, let us wait for a clear consensus. Again, this is Crytal. I appreciate your feelings and assumptions, but as of now this should be in an incubator. I mean, take the article I promote. While I do the singles, and read biographies, there is enough info to create articles for most songs, whether popular or not. That is why I recently requested for people to think about it more, and have a higher bar set for songs.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nathan, why are you lobbying so hard to get this article deleted (or merged)? It's my understanding that a song article needs to pass *either* WP:GNG *or* WP:SONG and in this case, there are plenty of RS articles about the actual song so it easily passes WP:GNG, so why isn't that enough for the article to stay? Plus, from a purely common sense POV, once the single is released it will undoubtedly pass WP:SONG also. On the other hand, if the article is deleted, when the single is release, someone will have to file a request to have it undeleted, which is just making work for people. Robman94 (talk) 21:38, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm lobbying for its removal because I don't think it passes Wiki: SONGS at the moment. That is all. Following CRYSTAL, we can only go by its present state. Apparently, more than half of the editors here agree with me, so its not like my views are alone. I clearly said if it were put in an incubator until its release and possible charting that would suffice.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it passes WP:GNG? And if not, why not? My impression is that rules like SONGS and BAND were added as a way that articles could remain that don't pass GNG. In other words, you could (in theory) have a hit single that sold millions of copies, but nobody wrote about it, so it would fail GNG, therefore something else was needed to keep it around, hence SONGS was created. But I don't believe that it's supposed to work in reverse to kill articles that do pass GNG. Your thoughts? Robman94 (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (and merge content to Born This Way), this is a classic case of creation before achievement. People have created the article because they think the song will become notable. Several live performances alone are NOT criteria for notability. Per WP:NSONGS it clearly states thats songs are only notable upon charting and/or receiving independent coverage. They only receive an indepedent article if there is enough verifiable info for a reasonably detailed article. It is the latter stipulation (about reasonably detailed article) which is covered by WP:GNG however the crux and creation of the article itself is covered by WP:NSONGS. I'm fed up of reading discussions where people have misunderstood the two policies and seem to believe that the notability of an artist or of a particular peformance of the song makes the song itself notable. This is simply not a case. An article of this size, with its considerable lack of detail is simply not required. Remember articles are creater after notability has been established not in ancitipation of notability. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 02:08, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question This is a question for all the people who say that this song fails WP:NSONGS, could you please explain WHY you think it fails the policy. Some people have said that we should wait until the song has been released as a single. I assume those folks are talking about Lady Gaga releasing it because it has already been released as a single by Haley Reinhart [14]. Even if we treat the song as unreleased, the policy states "Unreleased material... are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." This song has been covered in articles in Billboard [15], Los Angeles Times [16], New York Post [17], Entertainment Weekly [18], USA Today [19] and 6 MTV articles. (And those are just the articles that are specifically about the song, I didn't include ones that just mention it). The policy goes on to state: "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". The current article on this song is approximately 660 words long. So, if that's not a long enough article and that's not enough RS refs, could someone please state how long an article needs to be and just how many articles need to be written about a song, because the WP:NSONGS policy page fails to address that. So, bottom line, I am stating that I believe this *does* pass WP:NSONGS and I've laid out my reasoning. If you believe that it does not pass WP:NSONGS, then I don't think it's sufficient to simply say so, I think you need to say WHY you think it doesn't pass. Robman94 (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it passes now, having been released as a cover by a notable artist (to the extent that American Idol contestants are actually notable). You are reading the clause incorrectly: "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article" says "An article may pass all tests for notability, but still not get an article there isn't enough material", not "An article may fail notability tests but still get an article because it can be big. WP:NSONGS is one of a handful of specific notability guidelines that reads as an exclusionary filter, not an inclusionary one.—Kww(talk) 11:55, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're saying the same thing. In other words, for this particular song, it passes the notability test AND there's enough info to write a 660 word article. I see that you struck out your 'delete' !vote above but you didn't replace it with a new !vote, what is your opinion now on whether the article should stay or go? Robman94 (talk) 15:06, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I no longer care much, but no, we don't agree. At the time I placed my !vote, it did not pass WP:NSONGS. A 660 word article is not much more than a stub, and doesn't warrant an article, but it's cleared the bright-line tests and there was some material. Until it was covered, it was a clear "delete", and now it's sufficiently borderline that I'm not going to argue either way. You were still reading the guideline backwards though: you have to pass the test of (charted, covered, or received an award) and have enough material to create a substantial article. Only in very exceptional cases should there be an article about a song that didn't chart, receive an award, or get covered by multiple artists, even if you could build a 3000 paragraph article detailing the outfits the artist wore during every live appearance that she performed it.—Kww(talk) 16:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ I agree, it would be a complete waste of peoples time and energy to delete this article. It's so obvious the song will chart around the world once the album is released.

Actually I just only a few hours ago created this article and 5 minutes later MtKing was trying to delete it. If you look at MtKing's even most recent history and talk page it shows that is very bitey and goals to go from article to article trying to delete them. So let's talk Notability policy. If you believe that the article have not significant source to verify notability then I say although I haven't yet completed the creation of the article there is at least one obviously notable fact. That Dorian and the company are currently listed among Silicon Valley's Top 40 under 40 according to the Business Journal.^[1] That is an honor and achievement of which they were nominated and received credit for from a nationally respected business publication. Just remember "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." is considered notable.

That reference alone should clear the subject because it applies to the following:

"Significant coverage" means that source address the subject directly in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

The Biz Journal article was published for the purpose of honoring the list of entrepreneurs.

"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.

The publication is respectable and has its own Wikipedia page.

I ask administrative editors not to give in to someone that is clearly trying to harass for one reason or another. This article has at least one proof of notability and I'm sure I could find more if I was distracted by Mtking's efforts. --Rainman64 (talk) 07:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete UIS definitely; delete Paul Dorian weakly. The fact that UIS is yet another IT consulting firm ought to weigh heavily against inclusion. The article doesn't say they invented the wheel, split the atom, or otherwise achieved anything approaching long term historical notability; and without some kind of history making achievement there's no reason why anyone outside of an IT department ought to have heard of them. Being ranked #14 of Silicon Valley's Top 40 under 40 - apparently a Top 40 list and puff piece about youngish proprietors in a local business tabloid - does not get to that kind of historic significance; and that would appear to be the best of the sources given.

The only claims to notability are dubious (e.g. that he is a 'noted' genealogist is just based on being one of dozens of people thanked on someone's self-published web site) or poorly documented (membership in Sons of Confederacy, consisting of generic links, not to specific item), and none of them seem to meet the notability standards for scholars: Google Books turns up no matches that aren't reprints from Wikipedia, Google News nothing.

Thank you, Harrison, the check will be on its way today. This is really helpful. It shows that my grandfather, and his second wife, Stella Crawford, were living with my great grandmother, Cora Stagg Parrott Long.

I want this information so that I can join the Military Order of the Stars and Bars and, eventually, the Sons of the American Revolution. How do I reference this information to use in my application?

Secondly, can you trace my ancestry through the Stagg line to John Stagg of New York, who was, I am told, an officer in the Revolution? If so would you please do so for me?

Thanks, Father Gregory

The following pages are pages on wikipedia that was created or edited by Harrison Thomas LaTour and the
LaTour Genealogical Collection:

Several points merit clarification:

1) It takes more than just being a paid genealogist and historian to meet Wikipedia notability standards. It's not like they are rare, that genealogists don't grow on (family) trees. One must have attracted significant third-party coverage (see WP:BIO). [As an aside not relevant to Wikipedia, what kind of professional genealogist is so indiscreet as to publicly post private correspondence from a client, with their personal email address (which I have munged for their sake) to a public forum?]

2) It takes more than being a Wikipedia editor or having put your family tree on Rootsweb to meet Wikipedia notability standards.

3) You are confusing me about something. Are you are saying that you are Harrison Thomas LaTour? It appears to be the case based on the list of pages you say were created or edited by Harrison Thomas LaTour:

Lincoln Income Life Insurance Company - created and edited by Lgc2010
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation - edited by Lgc2010
Bank of America - edited by Lgc2008
BOK Financial Corporation - edited by both Lgc2010 and Harrisonlatour
George Kaiser - edited by Lgc2010
Lee Wilder Thomas - created and edited by Lgc2008
Jake Simmons, Jr. - created and edited by Harrisonlatour

This pattern would seem to suggest that User:Lgc2010, User:Lgc2008 and User:Harrisonlatour are the same individual. Is this in fact the case? Agricolae (talk) 23:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am Harrison Thomas LaTour. I was not asked to be born Harrison Thomas LaTour, a descendant of a African-Creole Confederate Soldier, but I am. The fact that I am a genealogist and submitted documentation to prove my ancestry to a national organization, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and they accepted and approved me to become one of the only African-Creole members in the State of Oklahoma is notability.

What makes me any different from Nelson W. Winbush. He was an educator, a retired assistant principal, and a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Surely, he does not have a wikipedia page because he was a educator, but because of his notability as a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

68.15.121.179 (talk) 00:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not established by claims nor deeds nor fascinating irony. It is established by coverage in reliable third party sources. It would appear to be provided to Mr. Winbush via the St. Pete Times article, which if being cited correctly gives substantial coverage, in depth. That being said, "If he deserves a page, so do I" is not a valid argument - perhaps he doesn't deserve one either. The only question is why do you qualify? Please consult WP:BIO for the qualifying details.

However, you now have a second problem. User:Harrisonlatour, whose edits you have claimed, has been subject to an indefinite block for the past three years. The use of alternative user names to avoid a block is behavior prohibited on Wikipedia. If you feel you have been blocked inappropriately, or that you were appropriately blocked but have repented of the behavior that caused the block to be instituted, then you need to request that block be removed, not simply create a new User account. Unless you have been reinstated, you are not permitted to create or edit pages, and all such pages thus created can be deleted on that basis alone. I have opened an investigation.

Again your purpose in quoting these private communications is unclear. If you mean this as reliable sourcing for your claim to notability, they fail that, being unpublished and not really documenting anything, other than that two people were privately curious about your membership status. It is unclear to me that you understand what this discussion is even about. Agricolae (talk) 23:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that I am a African-American Creole member of what was once a racist organization is notability. My great-great-great grandfather, a African-American Creole faught for what he believed in. He was a part of history. I owe it to him to make sure that his battle for freedom and liberty was not in vain.

How educational is it for students to learn that Africans faught for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. The Harrison Thomas LaTour page educates and brings use close to who we are as a individual.

68.15.121.179 (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is not how notability works on Wikipedia. Someone is notable, by Wikipedia standards, not because they think they are notable (whatever their reasons) or because their great-great-great-grandfather was notable, but because other people have thought them notable enough to give them independent in depth coverage in published sources known for fact checking (i.e. reliable sources). Second, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. We don't make pages to prove a point or because we owe it to someone. Further, I have to question the perspective that suggests that your Civil War ancestor would have battled for his freedom and liberty in vain if you don't get to have a Wikipedia page until it is merited.

Retain if Room, I don’t know, what is the definition of “a local university” as pointed by ‘Ray’. If an institute is local it cannot be university; conversely, a university cannot be local. By the way, the university mentioned in this article i.e. “Anna University” is not a local university in any stretch of imagination. Someone can easily verify it by Google search. If Wikipedia has a strict guideline and tightly defined notability of professors WP:PROF, this article on “Dr. Dhananjay Kumar” must be deleted without any further delay. As far as research contribution of this professor is concerned, I am enthused to appreciate after going through some his research papers. Someone, who is aware of the contribution (including social/non-technical) of this professor, can update this article.

Biography of a person whose only apparent notability is having unsuccessfully run for office in the Canadian federal election, 2011; as per WP:POLITICIAN, this is not generally sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Also a ~~fairly~~ extremely high probability of WP:COI, as prior to coming back specifically to start this particular article the creator, User:Bobagem, hadn't edited Wikipedia under this username since 2008 — and his edits in 2008 pertained to, guess what, the unelected candidate in the Canadian federal election, 2008 for the very same political party in the very same electoral district.

Very strong keep - Do you people really believe that it's "no big deal" to be the winningest pitcher from a particular country, or from a particular state? There is nothing "trivial" about this. As for sourcing of the winningest pitchers by country, state, province or territory, these results all come from www.baseball-reference.com, the preeminent source of baseball statistics on the Internet, which site allows you to see lists (with full career statistics) of all players born in each jurisdiction. All a person needs to know to figure out who is the winningest pitcher born in Cuba is to know that 229 is higher than 194 (and thus Luis Tiant, not Dolf Luque, has the most career wins for a pitcher born in Cuba). AuH2ORepublican (talk) 18:46, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite a smattering of anonymous cries of "this person is famous" in response to a recent CSD, this person is non-notable. No articles link to this one and the vast majority of wikilinks within the article are red links. There is nothing within the article, nor at the external links (three in total: one dead, one sketchy, and one a YouTube video), to adequately establish notability. In short, the article doesn't meet even the minimum WP:BIO standards. B.Rossow · talk 21:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Also note that the single mention of this person in Google News is a note in passing in a local Thai newspaper from the archives from 2006.

She's a low-profile glamour model with a pair of reality TV appearances and some low-end Playboy credits. The article has a batch of sources that fail RS miserably (including her plastic surgeon's blog), but the single RS is a passing mention in an article about a fundraising event where she served as eye candy.

Delete - Neither the article on the artist nor the article on the album itself give any indication of notability for the album. Moreover, Ştefan Bănică, Jr. has a single line which contains all the information in this article save the track list, and I can't seem to find any reliable sources that would allow that information to be expanded.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:46, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How is it not notable? It is the first single off of a successful artist's upcoming record (which has a page)... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrkite6270 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:NSONG and tell me how it passes the criteria also as you say it is upcoming record see WP:CRYSTAL. Mo ainm~Talk 22:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I Disagree, WP:CRYSTAL can/should not be invoked here. The album has been confirmed, as has the tracklist, both by Reliable Sources. The page for the single should be kept. -Deathsythe (talk) 16:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore Crystal it doesn't apply but how does it meet WP:NSONG? Also this is a single not a Album. Mo ainm~Talk 16:24, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that the article in question is for a Single and not a mere song, one which was premired through a joint venture with Coca Cola, I am unsure as to how it is not notable. -Deathsythe (talk) 17:23, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has the song been ranked on national or significant music charts, has it won any significant awards or honors or has it been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups. If not then it doesn't meet the criteria. Mo ainm~Talk 17:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe those are not the only criteria for notability, as they are very specific and strict. One could argue, given the partnership with Coke for the release of this single, that it is in fact released by several notable groups (Coke and the band itself)-Deathsythe (talk) 17:43, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No your not wrong there are other criteria namely WP:GNG and this article fails that also in that there is no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Mo ainm~Talk 20:28, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SONG and the general notability criteria. Google has no reliable sources for us, and that is pertinent per WP:GNG. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
