Freaquer Corporation[edit]

The result was keep. The requirement is for reliable for sourcing not perfect sourcing. There has never been a principle that "weak sourcing" is a valid argument for deletion of an article, even a BLP. There is some confusion because it can be an argument for the deletion of controversial or negative material, and therefore of a BLP where that is the only significant content.

Tom Stienstra[edit]

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

Dubious notability of minor writer of guidebooks; seems to fail under WP:BLP1E, leading to undue emphasis on his pot bust. Orange Mike | Talk 23:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, The writer is a syndicated columnist for the SFGate with several outdoor writing awards. [[1]], Tahoe News [[2]], CBS [[3]]. He was the fourth living member inducted into the California Outdoors Hall of Fame[[4]], and from his site which I'm trying to verify " National Outdoor Writer of the Year, “President’s Award, Best of the Best,” newspaper division, twice by the Outdoors Writers Association of America[[5]]. He is the only outdoors writer in America to win first place in OWAA’s Excellence in Craft competition for 10 straight years, and to win first place awards for newspaper, television, radio and photography in the same year. His national awards include from Associated Press, United Press International and Associated Press Sports Editors. In 2009, he won first place for best outdoors column in America. [[6]]"

the awards need to be recorded in reliable sources, Stienstra's website cannot be used to "verify" that he has won anything. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:30, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that's why I said I am trying to verify above that's why I had not included them in the article, but a simple search using the tools above clearly show he is featured in several newspapers and easily shows notability. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

well, what it actually shows is that he comes up in google hits and claims on his site to be an award winner. but that is not WP:N. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:37, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Someone at the Sacramento Bee keeps citing him as a great last minute gift idea. 2004, 2000 - if that counts for notability. And it is that time of the year. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:52, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Newspapers mention him and the awards he's won. Search for his name and the name of one of the awards to find coverage. [7] Dream Focus 00:07, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Search for his name and just "award" and you get hordes of additional results, like the ones before, are hidden behind paywalls, so you have to just read the Google search result summaries. A Highbeam search didn't give me anything worth mentioning. He has won awards and his books get some good coverage here and there. Dream Focus 00:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANYBIO allows for " well-known and significant award or honor" not just "Student of the Week at McKinley Middle School". is National Outdoor Writer of the Year actually "well known and significant"? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:34, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Though not strong reliable sources, anyhow subject meets the requirements of notability. Here should be applied "ignore all the rules".Justice007 (talk) 10:01, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CFC – Youth for Christ[edit]

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

Non-notable "youth branch" of a barely notable organization itself. Few ref's to try to even suggest any form of notability. Although possibly a noble goal, Wikipedia is not a place for noble organizations that lack notability (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:28, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG with no significant coverage in reliable sources - all mentions are extremely trivial, and several of the small number of news hits (which themselves are mostly WP:ROUTINE announcements of upcoming events) actually appear to be paid listings. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:51, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I haven't established my vote yet but Google News archives found several results from the Philippines, confirming the existence there. I think two of the results, this and this are particularly helpful because they provide information about the group's history. One of the other results here suggests the group was introduced in Africa as well. SwisterTwister talk 06:08, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to go through these results later and see if I can establish my vote. I found this news article from 2003 that mentions Youth for Christ has 200,000 members so this may be significant. SwisterTwister talk 06:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I can confirm that Couples for Christ and its youth branch Youth for Christ are quite prominent in the Philippines, or at least have a relatively large membership (I know plenty of friends and relatives who are members of CFC). I'm surprised that there seems to be little coverage for either given CFC's popularity (hence the "weak" part of my !vote), but there's the news article which seems to confirm the large membership number.

Delete. I am not seeing significant coverage. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:50, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In my experience, this is a significant organization. Couples for Christ is certainly very significant. It founded Gawad Kalinga among other things. I regularly see the "CFC - Youth for Christ" stickers. This site [8] says they have 200,000 members in over 100 countries, though most are in the Philippines. --Bruce Hall (talk) 14:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Couples for Christ. YFC's notability is derived from its association with CFC, and without it, it's not even notable for a section. It's activities (and influence) aren't as expansive as its mother organization, which is quite little to begin with. –H T D 20:22, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; after look at the reliable sources (web & news) out there the subject appears to be notable per WP:GNG and/or WP:ORG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the Google searches linked above appear to be more relevant to Youth for Christ, a Protestant organization, whereas CFC – Youth for Christ is decidedly Catholic. Quantumobserver (talk) 17:22, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notability is well established --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 08:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There being only one cited source doesn't show notability. Besides, this Article is so sloppy that even if the subject did turn out to be notable, it would be better to write a new Article from scratch than to try editing this mess into anything good (like polishing manure at this point). Don't get me started on the grammatical errors and the fact that a red link to a non-existent image file is said to be the organization's logo.

Think About Me[edit]

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

This article fails WP:NSONG and does not include any references or categories. While it's recommended that songs which aren't notable should "redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song", its title is so vague that I do not believe this is appropriate. MJ94 (talk) 21:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC) Withdrawing per SwisterTwister. MJ94 (talk) 04:23, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Google Books found this which confirms Christine McVie wrote the song and Billboard not only also mentions this but notes the song charted twice. This also vaguely mentions a charting which aligns with Billboard's 20 in 1980. Although I have found errors with Allmusic in the past, they also mention the charting here. This December 1980 issue of Billboard mentions the song charted #17 on the Number One Pop Singles Awards. However, it seems it has since been forgotten among all of their other songs and was not included in their 1988 "Greatest Hits" album as this mentions. This 1979 issue of Billboard also briefly talks about the song. Google News did not provide much aside from this 2003 article which briefly reviews the song. I also found this (third result from the bottom, 'Tusk' rates a hat's off‎). I have improved the article using these sources, SwisterTwister talk 00:19, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:BEFORE, a search for sources should have been undertaken before bringing this here.

This is an article about perp/victim in an unremarkable shooting event that barely managed to get local coverage at the time of the event itself. It certainly falls afoul of WP:BIO1E, and there is no lasting or significant coverage.

It unfortunately doesn't look like this person meets the general notability guideline (no hits for "Dalia Danish" on Google News, News archives, or Books, save for one false positive; Google Scholar turns up one article by her which is already present in the article as well as another which looks like a false positive; WorldCat Identities turns up dry).

Delete. I see where she's quoted in Egypt Today ([9]), but nothing to show that she's particularly noteworthy or notable enough to pass WP:GNG. Her papers or articles might be usable as a reliable source in other Wikipedia articles, but being enough of an authority to be considered a reliable source is not enough to pass notability guidelines. Publishing articles in papers or any journal entry is not enough to show notability. As someone said in another AfD, scientists/doctors/PhD people are expected to publish papers and journals. It's the nature of the beast and the epitome of the phrase "publish or perish". However it's only when those sources are consistently quoted as being especially groundbreaking or THE source for whatever the specific scientist/doctor is known for, then journals or articles alone might be enough. However there is nothing out there to suggest that this is the case.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 20:15, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: To all IPs and new users coming in: This is not decided on a vote and all arguments must fall within the rules of WP:GNG.

Even if a billion people come in to say it should be kept, if none of those arguments show notability for Danish per notability guidelines, then they won't really do anything.

Delete. Three of the newspaper articles are found on High Beam. She is quoted as saying the Egyptian revolution may have stressed out some people and that they can get help from her free web site (and we must presume, from her if they are so inclined). They should not feel bad about being stressed out, just get some help. That sounds like spam, back door advertising. Not surprisingly, nothing about her or by her on Questia. Not much else on the first few pages of a google search, just similar newspaper articles. She may care about her people and be a good psychologist. She may be a good researcher. That is all we have about her. May be an admirable and intelligent person, but not shown to be any more notable than hundreds of other psychologists.

Sparkie (disambiguation)[edit]

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

This newly created dab page has at most two useful entries. The entry 'slang word for electrician' seems to me to be a bit of a WP:DICDEF, but if it does need to be kept it could be a hatnote to Sparkie. It's apparently Australian slang and I don't know how widespread it is. The third entry is for a record producer who doesn't have an article, making it a non-entry. I would remove it, but there's not much point unless anyone can find anything worth keeping this page for. (In the past I've made some over-hasty deletion nominations I think so sorry if this is another case of that. I don't see much potential for improvement here though). Noiratsi (talk) 16:22, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Keep this page: Personally, I think the page currently holding the handle Sparkie should be changed to Sparky Williams. Your point on "Australian slang and I don't know how widespread it is": The phrase Sparkie is not just an Australian term used for Electrician, it is in fact world-wide:
- Sparkie - Electrician http://www.lingo2word.com/lingodetail.php?WrdID=80167
- Sparkie - In the United Kingdom, "spark" or "sparkie" is slang term for an electrician. http://electrician.askdefine.com/
- Sparkie - Sparkie - Electrician http://wikitravel.org/en/Australian_slang#People
- Electrician=Sparkie, Builder=Bricky, Carpenter=Chippy... http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1264644
- Sparky - An alternative spelling, a common slang term in Australasia for an Electrician. Also occasionally used in engineering as slang for an electrical engineer — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenryHayes (talk • contribs) 18:52, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I don't agree that a subject that "doesn't have an article" should not be listed as a possible meaning of a word/phrase. Sparkie! is a very well known UK record producer. It should be present on a dis page. HenryHayes (talk) 18:57, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is that we don't have an article for Sparkie the record producer—if you or someone else creates one, then it would be a valid disambiguation entry, no question. As it stands it makes no sense to direct the reader to Record producer when they're looking for "Sparkie". As for "Sparkie" meaning electrician, the important question is whether someone might type "Sparkie" when looking for the page about "Electrician". If they might, it's a useful entry. If not, it's better suited to Wiktionary. Like I said, I don't know the word so I don't know. See WP:DDD for quick dos and don'ts and WP:DAB for more details. In its current form I feel this page really only has a single valid entry (i.e. an entry pointing to an existing article that might reasonably be titled "Sparkie") --Noiratsi (talk) 19:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move Sparkie to Sparkie Williams to make way for "Sparkie" as the primary dab page, add Sparkie (satellite), link it to wiktionary, and to Sparky. If a Sparkie! article for the record producer is created it can also be added. I would like to delete Sparkie (disambiguation) but the editors who do redir work would want to keep it as a redir to Sparkie. BTW, sparkie or sparky (prabably the latter) is slang for an electrician here in New Zealand. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:46, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: valid dab page (see WP:DABMENTION which justifies entries for items without their own articles if mentioned in another article). I've tidied it up to correct format. Incidentally, in my personal version of UK English the word for an electrician is "sparks". (As in "the plumber will talk to the sparks about the boiler controls".) PamD 17:04, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: 'sparks' / 'sparkie': Different strokes - different people say it in different ways, IMHO, more reason to have this DAB page distinct from the others.

Comment I have boldly moved Sparkie to Sparkie Williams so that it can be the primary dab page (or a redir to Sparky).

Redirect to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - nowhere does it say in NMUSIC that it must have multiple charts (although I will admit the wording is very woolly and can be interpreted either way) - however, for me, it fails another criteria of WP:NSONG: Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. I do not see how there is enough verifiable material, from a quick Google search, for this to justify an article. Lukeno94 (talk) 16:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - I found a brief mention here where it is compared to a Rihanna song and brief reviews here, here and here. I found this which interviews the song's producers and I wouldn't exactly call this a review because it mainly brands the song as "braggy". It seems the song has received a small amount of attention but it seems it has never charted and more importantly, there hasn't been any significant attention (as far as I'm aware).

Reply: Lyndsey Parker is the Managing Editor of Yahoo! Music and the author of Yahoo!'s Reality Rocks music blog ([14]), thus a Yahoo employee , whose interviews are too often cited in Wikipedia (see [15]). There is a distinction between blogs that are self published and blogs published by the news outlets, according to WP:SPS, "Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control.".

Good grief, we accept Reality Rocks these days? Eh, things change. Still not the best source for supporting a Keep on an Afd, regardless. Killer Chihuahua 18:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it all depends on the subject of the Afd, if it was about a science topic, I'd seek academic sources, but in this particular case, the subject is about a music band and that third source is from a music journalist who has been working as the Managing Editor of Yahoo! Music for 14 years and conducted an interview with the band that is hosted at Yahoo! Music website, so I think it is a pretty good source that meets the "non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself" description the criteria seeks.

Comment User:Ssspkerala and User:Mallu50005 are single purpose editors both editing the same two articles.

In the Google results mentioned above, only first two sources say something about the movie, but they are exact replica and are from the same URL.

Comment - I'd be surprised if ANY newspaper is doing anything in-depth on a film that's still a reasonable way from release. Either way, both this and the Superstar Santhosh Pandit are very bad articles, that show no real claim of being important - and I raise my eyebrows at the fact that this Santhosh Pandit is doing absolutely everything, according to the article (although it does seem to be possible, given the Indian Times article about his first film)...

Fine with a copy being userfied to article creator at User:Ssspkerala/Minimolude Achan for continued expansion and sourcing as we wait.

Redirect to snow globe. I found a whopping 3 sources for this novelty product, which isn't enough to suggest to me that they've had any sort of lasting notability. It's enough to maybe give them a one line mention somewhere in the article if we could find a way to mention it. It sort of falls along the lines of the "forced air globe" or the "tornado globes", which are themselves a branching off of the basic snow globe. But an article to itself? Nah.

Where's the guideline for determining notable opponents. We have other fighters who are coming up a little short for notability based off of not having the top tier organzation fights who have notable oppoenent. If there is a guideline somewhere for this, please share so we can save some of these other fighters. Willdawg111 (talk) 14:19, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its a bit of a catch-22 - a notable opponent has his own article.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was gonna be my answer. If an opponent isn't on Wikipedia, clearly that opponent wasn't notable enough to be on Wikipedia. However, if it's a bluelink (opponent), that must mean that that opponent is notable enough to have its own article. If that wasn't the case etc etc... In this case, the one event that has a bluelink (events), is Pride. Someone has concluded that Pride in it's haydays was a toptier company, and it says in the guideline WP:NMMA that 3 fights for a toptier is good enough. If we follow it to the letter, this AfD fails. Mazter00 (talk) 14:44, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fighting a notable opponent does not make you notable - even if you win. Notability is not inherited. Are you notable because you fought someone who later went on to be come notable or is that just a side note. Fighting for a top tier organization a defined number of times is far easier to quantify.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:53, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Having an article on Wikipedia is not a guarantee of notability, and not having an article doesn't mean that a subject is not notable. That's why we keep creating articles that we should have and deleting articles that we shouldn't have. --Michig (talk) 09:49, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The assessment that this page was started for self promotion is inaccurate and that their was a career change made to go into production. Production credits go back over a decade on All Music and even if this was the case, it should be edited to title him as an engineer, since has worked on major releases and is cited on many other Wikipedia pages, as well as various other sources that are easy to link outside of Wikipedia.

The Smoke (Australian band)[edit]

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

This band does not appear to meet the threshold of notability for a Wikipedia article. Many customized searches in GNews and Books have not yielded any coverage in reliable sources. Sources in the article are unreliable for Wikipedia's purposes, and one is primary that doesn't mention the band. Northamerica1000^(talk) 05:42, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Searching on both band names, there are several pieces of coverage in Australian sources that probably would not pass WP:RS, e.g. The AU Review: [17], [18], thedwarf.com.au: [19], [20], and one that would: Herald Sun. Not enough to support an article at the moment, I think. --Michig (talk) 11:26, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found one review ([21]), but not enough for an article. The main details can be noted in the discography article. Given the title it won't be a useful redirect. --Michig (talk) 08:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per beauty contestants precedent. Besides, it's not one event, it's two: Miss Guayana and Miss Universe (yes, I know they link together, but that's irrelevant.) Lukeno94 (talk) 22:22, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: If there are two potential places to redirect a bio to - in this case Miss Universe 2012 and Miss Guyana Universe (which admittedly needs a lot of work done) - then WP:ONEEVENT doesn't apply, IMO. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 14:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Myriagonal number[edit]

Delete or Redirect to Polygonal number:No sources supporting notability except OEIS since May 2011. See also Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard/Archive 5#Is Myriagonal number notable at all? Inspector (talk) 08:11, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Polygonal number Except for a single code snippet and the entry in OEIS, I could find no mention of myriagonal numbers independent of Wikipedia. There is not enough notability for a standalone article, but the concept is verifiable. I've added myriagonal numbers to the Table of values in the Polygonal number article for the potential redirect. Mark viking (talk) 17:05, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect per WP:NUMBER. There are an infinite number of different kinds of polygons, and therefore an infinite number of different sequences of polygonal numbers; we can only keep a small finite number of the interesting ones, and this isn't one of them. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:08, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per David Eppstein, with the caveat that for interesting we should read notable, otherwise the smallest uninteresting number would be interesting enough to merit an article. In passing, "Myriagonal" and "Myriagon" are unknown to ZMATH. Deltahedron (talk) 07:27, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
