Keep all - These players participate in a tournament (2014 AFC U-16 Championship) that serves as a qualifying route to the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup. There is no issue on notability. Nevertheless, the article needs expanding (hence the stub status). See Category:Under-17 association football, there seems to be clear consensus from the large number of articles that teams competing at that level in this age group are inherently notable.

  • Delete all - None of these players have played in a fully pro league or for the Nepalese senior national team, meaning all of them fail WP:NFOOTBALL which explicitly excludes youth football as a source of notability. Additionally, none of them have received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:04, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTPAPER:"Deletionists rule Wikipedia. Ironically, they're constrained by print-era thinking. What harm does it do if an online reference has a long tail of articles that are only interesting to a few people, so long as everyone can still find whatever they're looking for? There is room to do to Wikipedia what Wikipedia did to Britannica" - Paul Graham (computer programmer). Ayoopdog (talk) 13:35, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually going to say "I'm not a fucking deletionist" ... But somehow as of today I've made - Keep votes: 95 (20.1%) / Delete votes: 309 (65.3%) - So really I dont have a leg to stand on with that comment!, As for the notability thing - I vote on guidelines, Not what I like and what I dont. –Davey2010(talk) 14:19, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's important to remember that they are just that; guidelines. Just as FIFA isn't the sole controller of all things football, all football related content shouldn't be aggressively pushed to fit Wikiproject Football's guides. They do not control all football content on Wikipedia. They are just a small community that generates guides. Many people forget this. Ayoopdog (talk) 09:00, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all as per above. General problem is some guideline saying that if such and such a player participated in such and such a level contest, or played at such and such a level, they're automatically notable; I have problems with this type of logic, since the real underlying guideline should be the general notability guideline.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:01, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No evidence of notability at this time; maybe after it opens it will get some coverage. Not a good candidate for redirect; the article isn't even titled correctly (needs capital S).

Failure to meet WP:GNG: No significant coverage by reliable, independent sources distinct from the franchise as a whole. Angry Birds Wiki and other fan sites referenced are where this article belongs, not Wikipedia. This should be merged to List of Angry Birds characters. --Animalparty-- (talk) 17:41, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to List of Angry Birds characters, fails GNG, and two refs are from wikis. --AmaryllisGardener talk 18:07, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per above. I would like to note, however, that an AfD nomination is really not the best place to propose a merge. If we get a consensus to merge, then that's fine and we can go ahead with it, but as far as I know AfD nominations are meant to argue for deletion. (I recalll reading somewhere that merges should be discussed on talk pages, but I'm not sure.) CtP (tc) 20:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reminder; I'll keep that in mind. I do tend to notice, however, that some merge proposals can last for weeks or months with no action or dialogue. Maybe in such cases a bold merge is in order! --Animalparty-- (talk) 20:58, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if you think a merge or redirect is uncontroversial, you can boldly do it yourself without discussion. If in doubt, discuss. And, yes, this AfD could technically be speedily closed because you have not argued explicitly for deletion. In the spirit of WP:IAR, I prefer to keep these sorts of discussions open, however. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, I have also witnessed merge proposals go untouched for long periods of time. You're right that a bold merge would be necessary in those cases. CtP (tc) 15:22, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Once this AfD has run its course, I don't think anyone could object to a bold merge. Whoever does it can always refer back to this discussion, which will be templated on the talk page, should the need arise.  Philg88 talk 15:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • We do usually allow articles about mayors of cities the size of Butuan — but those articles have to be properly sourced, which this isn't, and they have to be much better written than this fairly blatant campaign brochure. Delete, without prejudice against future recreation if somebody can write a good version. Bearcat (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:TNT. Normally, this would pass WP:POLOUTCOMES, as he is a mayor of a city of 300,000, which is also a regional market center. However, the article needs more work than ordinary editing would suffice. My knowledge of Philippines politics is limited to what my partner tells me, or I read online, so I would not be the best candidate to rescue this one. Bearian (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of mayors and vice mayors of Butuan. This confirms that he is mayor; nothing else in the article is sufficiently verified to remain here, even if it is considered that he passes WP:POLITICIAN. The article reads like a political pamphlet and smells like a copyvio, though I couldn't find anything online. --MelanieN (talk) 15:10, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect for now to List of mayors and vice mayors of Butuan, without prejudice against an independent article in the future with sources. While normally, mayors of cities the size of Butuan are considered notable, there isn't enough sources about him. Note that generally, coverage on non-Manila or non-Cebu Philippine politics is rather limited, especially online, though language is not a problem since most Philippine online media is in English.

This entire article is clearly a copyright violation, as it is copied and pasted from the official obituary published by the Rajya Sabha, India's upper house of parliament (language such as "Shri Adhik Shirodkar represented the State of Maharashtra in this House" is a dead giveaway).

No sources to establish notability of this charity. The only reference is to their charity registration, which is WP:ROUTINE coverage. Ahecht (TALK

) 15:38, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Sources now added to the article to establish notability these include National Health Services (NHS), The Express newspaper and the Phone Co-Op part of the Co-operative Group. The charity was established with a name back in 1990 which has become words in increasingly common and in popular use. This is one of the reasons I believe they need an identify and presence on Wikipedia. I can add further relevant content and improve in time, but request this is not deleted for the above reasons. Craig Barnshaw (talk) 19:22, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: probably a bit premature. This article was created by a first-time editor at the Barclays Editathon, who is just getting to grips with what we require for notability. There is now a reference to a Sunday Express article where the CE of Community Network comments on social isolation and the article name-checks the Community Network website and phone contact at the end. Community Network gets a brief paragraph in the NHS "Loneliness in older people" article. There's also an article in charitydigitalnews.co.uk about Community Network's tie-in with The Phone Co-op. It's possibly still short of the significant coverage we ask for, but it's looking like waiting a day for the original author to add the extra references has improved the article substantially. --RexxS (talk) 19:40, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Update: Sure, it's one thing for me to simply use a little RESEARCH and then declare a topic as notable, its a different animal to actually show it though regular editing. However, I do not understand how any diligent WP:BEFORE could have led to the erroneous conclusion that this topic did not meet WP:NF. The meager stub first brought to AFD as non-notable WAS improvable, and so has been markedly expanded and sourced. Yes, the sources are all in Italian, but that does not matter for where film notability is concerned. What does matter for determining topic notability, even for unsourced stubs, is WP:NRVE. Might the nominator consider withdrawing his easily dis-proven determination of non-notability? Thanks, Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDAFD: Arsho
  • Thanks for pointing toward that. I did google search before nominating and indeed did not get any proper sources. I should have used Tito's tool. I have analyzed sources pointed out by you. Only one newspaper (the tribune) has published about 4 news items, which will be regarded as single source for the purpose of notability. One others HindustanTimes only has photos (no articles), I don't think that can be taken as sign of notability. Photos are easily published in online version of the newspaper. In case of 2 others FirstPost and Times of India word "Arsho" is used in totally other context and has no relation to the subject. So this film does not have coverage in multiple sources, and I will go with Delete.--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the film was only just released, and is already gaining positive response, I believe that more coverage will be in the offing, not less. Toward addressing the addressable, poor sources have been removed from the article and it is currently being expanded and sourced with far better ones, as well as being tagged for editorial attention... I would think this a far better way to deal with new articles on arguably notable topics than is deletion. Of course, one must be careful when stating that multiple articles in the area's one major news source should be counted as only one news source. We do not expect Punjabi language film to be covered in New York Times or Variety, and while I do not have the ability to find the expected non-English coverage, I will still contend that film notability has been established. See WP:HANDLE, WP:WIP, WP:IMPROVE, WP:IMPERFECT, and WP:DEADLINE. Schmidt, Michael Q. 15:33, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unofficial order, without reliable independent sources which give it significant attention. Article claims "The order is more of a personal memento rather than a state decoration. The only way to know who has been given it is to see the recipient wear it." So, basically, this is a piece of decorative jewellery which has significance inside the royal family, but not outside of it.

The sources in the article are the website of the royal family, not an independent source. Article seems to be filled with WP:OR like "Queen Silvia's decoration may be regarded as the most prestigious,as her portrait frame has more detailing on it.", or "it might be assumed that..." Fram (talk) 06:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: While it is true, that it is almost never officially announced that it has been given, The Royal Family only wears it to what they think is an important event. Notice that in plain, everyday photos, they don't wear it. The only Royal who has been photographed wearing hers more often than that is Queen Sonja of Norway. And it DOES have history. See the history section. --Hipposcrashed (talk) 13:37, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also the only reason people think it is unimportant, is because it is unannounced but fashion editors often take note of whether or not they are wearing it. It is also worn on the same blue ribbon as the Royal Order of the Seraphim. It is very often worn with other orders.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 13:33, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I can specify on Davey's behalf: Compare the sources on the King George article to the sources on this one. George's article has two sources that specifically discuss the subject. This article has one source that might mention the subject (I'm not entirely sure, although it's probably shown in the pictures), another source just like it (listed 3 times), a dead link to some museum, and a pdf that, if Google translate serves me well, has nothing to do with the subject. Also, as has been said before, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an acceptable argument.—Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 05:46, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I get the feeling the there is a lot of bias here. I know why people would decide that this topic is not notable enough to deserve an article- that seems to be the case here. But because of the bias, no one has even mentioned a merge with an existing article.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 13:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Hipposcrashed. The Swedish royal orders might not be as well known as the British (so fail WP:GNG), but they are a real thing, merging might be a good solution. SW3 5DL (talk) 22:41, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Have you seen the Swedish version of this article? I'm not fluent in Swedish but it looks much worse than this article. There is less information and also there are unreasonable claims.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 02:50, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just because it is not notable enough for it's own article does not mean it's information can't be kept as part of another article. Of course I want to keep the article, but I would rather have it merged than deleted-it's good information. In my opinion, it's not the best article but it's not exactly a bad article either-I've seen worse.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 13:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What bias do we have? —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 14:54, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
All you see is that it is not notable and you want to delete it because of that. But none of you have suggested alternatives to deleting it. Not being notable means that it can't have it's own article, but it doesn't mean it can't be kept with another existing article.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 15:16, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even if it was deleted, the content could be integrated into whatever relevant article you want (and by the way, if we're asked to make a choice, and we make it, it's not "bias," it's just making a choice).—Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 15:19, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Specifically:
ref 1) The website of the mall. Primary sources that are not independent of the subject do not count at all towards notability. The topic has to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
"Sources" should be secondary sources. This is quite clear in wp:GNG, which states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article.... "Sources" ... should be secondary sources."
ref 2) A blog, in victoriavision.blogspot.ca. Blogs are non-RSs, that do not count at all towards notability.
ref 3) A blog non-RS, vibrantvictoria.ca/forum, and one that has no substance in it. Non-RSs do not count towards notability.
ref 4) The blog non-RS Vibrant Victoria again.
ref 5) "Our History," a primary source rather than a third-party independent RS. "Sources" should be secondary sources. And look what it says about the mall -- nothing but one sentence mentioning a store in the mall. Certainly not GNG "significant coverage".

  • Keep Delete (see below): PRODed for lack of sources; sources have been added. Looks like it's on its way to being fixed. —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 15:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After spending an hour (literally) looking for valid sources for this article, I am deciding to change my recommendation. There is maybe one source available, although it doesn't cover most of the material in the article. It appears that, while the subject appears to actually be very important, it is not important enough for independent sources, which means it is not important enough for Wikipedia. —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 15:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Withdrawing my opinion; I'm not familiar enough with notability guidelines to have a valuable opinion on this issue. —Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. Please take a look at the above, and consider that "on it's way to being fixed" is short of being there. Which is what we need to demonstrate notability -- the test at AfD. Tx. Epeefleche (talk) 06:10, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  One can look at the size of this mall, over 400,000 sq ft, and know that it is a regional mall, which based on the U.S. standards of icsc.org [19], mark it in the top 2% of centers.  Regional malls impact a wide area and also tend to be venues, so wp:notability won't be a policy-based criteria for deletion...as indicated by WP:ATD, a non-notable but wp:prominent topic should be a redirect, in this case with the template "R with possibilities".  In this case, I didn't quickly find a source when I looked at Google books for "Bay Centre", but I found sources on the first page of a Google books search for "Victoria Eaton Centre".  Sources do not have to be listed in the article to support WP:N.  Unscintillating (talk) 22:21, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The consensus, as reflected in the recent discussion here, is that we don't generally retain stand-alone articles of malls below (at least) 500K square feet, which this is clearly below. Epeefleche (talk) 22:54, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I made a post on your talk page earlier today, and you whisked it away without a comment, and now you want to reply to me?  Since I did not say anything about WP:OUTCOMES, your reply is a non-sequitur.  And your theory of "consensus" at that discussion is not metrics based.  But the zinger is that there is no difference between the concept of redirecting non-notable topics and not "retain[ing] stand-alone articles" in certain circumstances.  However, the implied theory that we should redirect this topic because it is smaller than 500,000 sq ft is not policy-based.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your comment began with a discussion of the size of the mall, and your view of its import vis-a-vis AfD. My comment replied to that, pointing to a consensus discussion at "Common Outcomes; Malls" on the subject of malls of this size. Editors and the closer can all read that discussion for themselves. I recognize that your view differed from that of a number of editors. Epeefleche (talk) 05:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly, you want to deflect attention from my operationally defined !vote to a fractured discussion; where you now allege to have found a "consensus"; in which, as best I can tell, the only 3 "outcomes" reported there showed the keeping of malls smaller than 500k.  But you don't want to talk about the source at Columbia Mall, where you stated that the source "is non-substantial and run-of-the-mill. Dramatically so.", diffUnscintillating (talk) 15:19, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – There is plenty of coverage in reliable third-party sources, in particular (not surprisingly, I would think) in the Times Colonist. "Passport office secures mall space", "Bay Centre to offer top-floor office space", "Bay Centre exterior getting major upgrade" and off-line sources such as "Victoria retail sales showing strong rise: Bay Centre businesses experienced double-digit growth for most of 2007", Wilson, Carla. Times - Colonist, 27 May 2008: B1; "Victoria's Bay Centre unveils electric car chargers in parkade", Denton, Don. Victoria News, 4 July 2013; "Bay Centre sold to U.S. company: City landmark estimated to have fetched at least $90 million", Kloster, Darron. Times - Colonist, 14 May 2010: A1; "Eatons: cross-country renovation (Toronto Eaton Centre; Pacific Centre; Calgary Eaton Centre; Polo Park; Victoria Eaton Centre; Rideau Centre; Yorkdale Shopping Centre)", Brunet, Robin.

Isn't this all run-of-the mill stuff you would see in regard to any non-notable mall? City paper says the passport office is in the mall, that space is available for rent, that its outside is getting a fix-up, and the like? Epeefleche (talk) 01:46, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you are looking for, then. This is the kind of stuff that gets written about malls. Non-notable malls, per Wikipedia guidelines, don't get multiple newspaper and magazine articles written about them. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 01:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Don't they? I don't tend to think that a mall well below the wp:outlines 500K mark is notable simply because local city papers say the mall got the passport office to rent space, is fixing up its outside, and has space available for rent. That's not substantial coverage, but rather trivial coverage. The sort of coverage that would qualify a mall as notable would be coverage that indicates that it is a large mall (e.g., the largest mall in the province, or over 800K sq ft), or the oldest mall in the province, or the mall is unique in some fashion. And the coverage should be substantial coverage by media outside the local city (The source's audience must also be considered. Attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability).
Offering up an article on the fact that the mall's exterior is being painted, and its washrooms are being spruced up, as indicia of notability seems like somewhat of a stretch. --Epeefleche (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is an essay which has no particular force at AFD. It purports to track the outcomes and so, by definition, it follows the debate rather than leading it. In any case, it does not suggest we delete schools and so the repeated bringing of such pages here for deletion is the waste of time. If people think that such pages should be merged or redirected then they can do this by means of ordinary editing and spare us these vexatious discussions. But if discussions are started then you must expect me to contribute to them - this is the point of having them - they are not rubber stamps. Andrew (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd disagree there I'd say it does lead it, I totally agree everyone should just merge/redirect - Problem is and It's happened to me - Anyone that does a merge/redirect is reverted by a trigger-happy editor and so a discussion is just an easier process in that respect, Again I totally understand we all have our own opinions (It would be bloody boring if we were the same!) but I suppose some aren't necessary if you like ...., What I'm saying is you should vote Keep for those honestly worth keeping :), –Davey2010(talk) 22:29, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Buchla is one of the oldest modular synthesizer family (older than Moog synthesizer), and its sound synthesis mechanism is rather different than these on typical analog synthesizer. Buchla mainly takes an approach to modulate sound generators using a forerunner of FM synthesis technique and world first music sequencer products, etc., instead of subtractive synthesis-centric approach seen on typical analog synthesizers.
Especially Buchla 200e article have a worth to keep, because it is a most advanced form of Buchla's idea so that many sound synthesis ideas are seen on its modules (i.e. highly educational), and also it is current product so many electronic musicians play it. Sadly since 2012, most part of article seems continuously deleted by new users with relatively short contributions.

An additional search of Internet databases indicates that she has indeed published several children's books, but none of them have received any professional accolades.

The result was delete. This is unconventional, but I will close this as a soft deletion. The PROD was contested as the first and only edit of a new user, and although I do not wish to dismiss them entirely, I am willing to believe they may have been unfamiliar with our notability policies. Since there are no other arguments to keep after a reasonable period of time at AfD, I use my discretion to judge that the deletion rationale (in the PROD+AfD) is sound and valid. No prejudice against speedy undeletion and relisting. ☺ · Salvidrim! ·  16:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable middle school. Middle schools are generally not notable, and the article already sounds like an advertisement Novato 123chess456 (talk) 04:09, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. 1) If you look at Category:Middle schools and its subcats, you will see that there are many middle schools that have been found notable enough to merit an article on Wikipedia. 2) Any school with a 115 acre campus and 100 classrooms is probably notable. By Western standards, this is probably more like a small college. 3) Note also that "middle school" in this case may not mean exactly the same thing we mean in the West, since the school includes "kindergarten, primary school, middle school and high school". 4) I found nothing here that struck me as purely promotional or as advertising. I doubt the Chinese educational authorities are seeking additional students via the creation of Wikipedia articles. 5) The article needs work (mainly due to language and MOS issues) and better refs, but it is encyclopedic and has significant potential. It should be given time to develop. Dwpaul Talk 04:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Despite the school's name, the article claims it teaches K through high school. We keep high schools, but I can't read Chinese-langage references to verify. • Gene93k (talk) 04:32, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Notable as the first middle school in Guangdong and a national-level model high school. Has adequate coverage in reliable sources: e.g. Xinyi Education Bureau (i.e. has government oversight) and China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center, which is part of the central Ministry of Education. I've translated a couple of the references for clarity and cleaned up the lede a bit.  Philg88 talk 05:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Despite the western connotations of its name, this is a degree-awarding secondary school, and consensus is to keep articles about secondary schools. Especially those as massive and historic as this one. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:37, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was a minor shooting with no fatalities or serious injuries and the suspect was quickly apprehended, served only three years in prison without a major trial, and has not been heard from since his release. I removed this template from the article because there was no evidence that this was actually an assassination attempt on then President George W. Bush. This incident does not meet our WP:EVENTS criteria since it did not receive persistent, long-term coverage or caused any lasting effects or reforms to White House security, gun control, etc. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 21:51, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Nothing significant resulted from this shooting. No one was killed or even seriously injured, no laws were passed, no improvement in security were made, no statements were released by top level officials, ect. The entire event was a run-of-the-mill arrest for illegal discharge of a firearm somewhat complicated by the non-fatal shooting of the subject, which got a day or two of media coverage because it occurred near the White House. This is a pretty classic case of not news. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 23:28, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Proposed summary of the LA Times article: "The incident came at a time when officials were considering the reopening of Pennsylvania Avenue north of the White House.-Man fires gun, LA Times- The initial closure had been in 1995, after the Oklahoma City bombing, and was made permanent after the World Trade Center bombing." Obviously the general public and in particular newspapers thought it was a big deal. No one should really have glossed over that, and the Delete votes are wrong on the strength of the newspaper coverage alone. But additionally, legislators had to consider the incident's ramifications in terms of security. This directly addresses SoE's claim of lack of significance, and in particular, the statement, "no improvements in security were made". It therefore affects both Carrite and Bearian's votes also. Anarchangel (talk) 11:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article simply states that "[the shooting] came at the same time officials are studying plans to reopen Pennsylvania Avenue north of the White House". Nowhere in this article nor in any other sources released during the two days of news coverage does it actually state that the shooting had an impact on the plans, only that they both occurred concurrently. Perhaps a merge somewhere would be justified, but this does not deserve its own article. Also, of course the media made a big deal out of this. They always do that when someone does something illegal near the White House. This doesn't mean that every illegal event near the White House deserves an article though. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:20, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NOTNEWS. Most of such shooting incidents get a lot of attention just after they happened, then perhaps a mention a few months later, and then it peters out. No evidence of any lasting encyclopedic notability. --Randykitty (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The information is already there, it's useful information for those with an interest. There's no need for it to be merged. TheBigJagielka (talk) 12:13, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then if we do that the AFC President's Cup should have an article about the group and knockout stages. The President's Cup and Challenge Cup are just the same when it comes to the "emerging countries" in Asia, the only difference is that the President's cup is competed under clubs while the Challenge Cup is under national teams. Major tourneys like the Asian Cup, AFC Cup and AFC Champions League are qualified to deserve an article about its stages. FairyTailRocks 12:37, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The Challenge Cup serves as part of the Asian Cup qualification. Qualification tournaments (or same level tournaments) do not deserve such detailed record. 128.189.191.60 (talk) 12:20, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm undecided on the issue, but we do have separate articles for each "stage" of qualification, and if the qualification stage features a "group stage", separate articles for groups are also created. If we're using this argument, it's actually an argument for keeping the article. –HTD 13:41, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so what's the point of having AfD? If you are talking about the FIFA World Cup qualification, of course each qualifying stage has its own article because it is very large and they are competing in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. I'm here to raise the issue so that the others know if they agree with me or not. Also those articles I've proposed originally were never created, one user published all of it in May 2014. FairyTailRocks 14:56, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The point was if anyone's making this "Qualification tournaments (or same level tournaments) do not deserve such detailed record" argument, it could be an argument for retention, not deletion. If you're looking at this competition solely as a qualification tournament instead of a "championship", then the best analogy would be looking if other continental cup qualification stages have their own articles. Do they? European championship qualification each have pages for each group in the first "group" round, and another for the qualifying playoffs; Asian and African championship qualification have their matches all in one page, and not split in many daughter articles. World Cup qualifying already has each stage and each group on a separate articles for all continents. –HTD 21:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because European qualifying stages like UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying are very large with nine groups playing ten times before going to the main tournament. In this case, the tournament has only two groups and a knockout stage, merging the results is the best option here. If they want more statistics of each games there is a match report under the results. FairyTailRocks 08:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I need to clarify myself. I am not against a page for a group, what I am against is the details level of this page. As a qualifying-level tournament, line-ups for each match is probably excessive. If one removes the line-ups, then everything is already covered in the main article. Thus this article should be deleted. 128.189.191.60 (talk) 20:20, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not disputing your reasoning, but I figured the fact that there hasn't been a separate article per group in "regular qualifying" was that this wasn't yet the norm back in 2010, at least as far as football tournament articles outside Europe are concerned. With that said, a per-match line-up truly is excessive; if the articles gonna be kept, perhaps discipline could be figured in to the match boxes, and prose, while the main articles could stick only to the scores so the reader can expect something "more" if he'd go here. –HTD 22:31, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - as the one who started most of these articles I just want to give my opinion of why I feel these articles should be kept on Wikipedia. Correct me if I am wrong but User:FairyTailRocks, User:ArsenalFan700, and User talk:128.189.191.60's main objections are that the AFC Challenge Cup is a minor tournament that doesn't require all the detail to go into the individual stages of the tournament. My counter-argument would be that sure the AFC Challenge Cup might not be the most noticeable tournament, but it still revives plenty of attention, especially this year's edition which was the last ever edition of the tournament. Just because a few wikipedians do not find it interesting does not establish grounds to delete these articles. Sure most people haven't heard of the IRB Pacific Nations Cup, but one wikipedian took the initiative to elaborate and add more detail and line ups because there was significant sources. Secondly the fact that the AFC Challenge Cup serves as qualification for the AFC Asian Cup does not mean that the AFC Challenge Cup is not a tournament that has to meet FIFA tournament requirements and deserves the same attention tournaments deserve on Wikipedia. If you want to get REALLY technically about this detail than by the same logic we shouldn't go into detail about the AFC Asian Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, Copa América, OFC Nations Cup, UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup just serve as qualification for the FIFA Confederations Cup. Lastly there were many websites and blogs that followed this tournament and I tried to include as many of these as sources in these articles. The match reports came from AFC's own web site and are both detailed and credible. This establishes WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, which are the two main standpoints when seeing if an article pertaining to football should be deleted. I will be the first to acknowledge the fact that the AFC Challenge Cup isn't the most followed tournament on the planet, but in its five editions it has had an enormous impact in developing Asian football and thoroughly deserves the extra detail and articles that are now being nominated for deletion.Inter&anthro (talk) 02:33, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Squads for each match can be found in the AFC reports. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all - massive WP:NOTSTATS violations. These articles detail only squad lists and results. Claims above that references to AFC website establish notability are incorrect as these are primary sources. Absolutely no sourced prose whatsoever and no indication that any of these groups garnered significant reliable coverage beyond WP:ROUTINE match reporting to warrant such a fork. Bar the squad lists, there is nothing in any of these articles that is not already covered word for word in the main 2014 AFC Challenge Cup article. Essentially WP:CRUFT. Fenix down (talk) 06:49, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How is that different form another type of group stage in another type of tournament? I don't see anything wrong with the sources having the lineups and stats and the page having the lineups and stats. As long as the sources are properly referenced(which they are in these articles). Are we just suppose to make this information up? If one were to look at the group stage of any of the FIFA World Cup tournaments they would find the same set of circumstances. According to this logic then the group stage of ever tournament should be deleted. While the match reports are secondary sources all the articles from the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup also include secondary sources, primarily from Maldives Soccer.com.Inter&anthro (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is a ridiculously notable technology for which hundreds of scholarly citations could be listed. However, it's a very deficient article, and the subject is already better covered in Light-emitting diode#Quantum dot LEDs (experimental). While WP:BEFORE says atrociousness isn't a valid basis for deletion, in this case I think common sense trumps the guidelines. Keeping a bad article, when it's likely to remain this bad for a while, when there's already good coverage elsewhere, doesn't make sense. Merging doesn't make sense because there's nothing to salvage. Redirecting doesn't make sense because the title is an arbitrary description of the technology (there is no succinct name for it), and google shows no external links to the page.
Demir's 2008 paper, the basis of some of the pop media coverage (e.g., New Scientist) cited above, shows 122 other papers cited it in Google Scholar, and a similar 2006 paper from other researchers on the same idea but with CdSe/CdS (rather than CdSe/Zn S) wavelength-upconverting nanocrystalline LED coatings shows 300 cites in Google Scholar, and that in turn was based on a breakthrough 2002 paper in Nature on narrow-band (presumably non-tunable) nanocrystal wide-spectrum QD-LEDs, which is cited by 1,837 other papers in Google Scholar. Demir's 2008 innovation was achieving higher efficiency, but built on past tunable quantum dot LED (QD-LED) research, and naturally influenced subsequent research.

Keep. Notable as reliable sources were found. Passes WP:GNG and WP:RS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Mr. Guye (talkcontribs) 20:16, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment User:Mr. Guye and others, this is about something recently discovered (Publication Date (Web): February 6, 2014) by a Professor Demir. All the sources above are surely about something else, right? Are you saying you read them and they are about "a type of nanocrystals that were first developed by a group of Turkish scientists led by Hilmi Volkan Demir at Bilkent University,"So maybe there should be an article, but not this one. Dougweller (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose you're right; I made the mistake of assessing whether Tunable White-Light-Emitting Nanocrystals (the article title) was a notable topic, which it certainly is; it includes many variations published in studies by Demir and hundreds of other researchers over the past decade. However, the Wikipedia author clarifies in the opening sentence that the term is used here to refer only to a single variant, manufactured in a precise way, written about in February 2014, not tunable white-light-emitting nanocrystals in general. This article would be better titled Tunable white-light-emitting Mn-doped ZnSe nanocrystals created with Sharma, Guzelturk, Erdem, Kelestemur, and Demir's 2014-published modified nucleation doping strategy. Demir's paper was titled "Tunable White-Light-Emitting Mn-Doped ZnSe Nanocrystals", but Mn-doped ZnSe crystals have been around since at least 1990, they've been used in tunable white LEDs since at least 2007, and other nucleation doping strategies have been devised in the past; the distinction here is simply Demir's precise fabrication technique. My "delete" vote remains unchanged, but for a different reason: there is no evidence that Demir's technique is notable; no other research papers in Google Scholar cite the paper, nor does it seem to have attracted mainstream press coverage. The subject is too narrowly focused to warrant an article, and probably too obscure and unnotable to warrant even a mention in a related article. Agyle (talk) 22:51, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not as convinced as some about the reliability of New Scientist as a source for scientific matters. They often hype articles to make them more sensational.

  • Question. I'm not sure where these claims of plenty of coverage in reliable publications are coming from; all I see in the article is a lot of blog posts, Geocities, and something called Jesus Freak Hideout that doesn't exactly scream "reliable" to me after poking around on it for a bit. I'm not sure that all that much has changed since the last discussion resulted in a clear delete result, except that she's got a new record to promote this month. Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:27, 14 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]
    • Reviews in recognized RSes: Jesus Freak Hideout, Indie Vision Music and New Release Tuesday. I don't see a single blog post or geocities. Are you sure you're looking at the right article? As for the last delete discussion, I can't comment on it since I don't know what the sources were like then, but clearly this one has RSes. The coverage of the new record this month helps push the subject over the top in relation to GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Quite sure, this is used as a source to support biographical details, for instance. Are you sure you're looking at the right one?

          • Good call Walter Görlitz, it was just some meaningless biographical information that was already confirmed by other sources.HotHat (talk) 07:27, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question. Like Lankiveil, I'm more than a little bemused at all these super-strong-speedy-keep votes above, since I don't see anything to warrant that kind of certainty. We only have citations of any worth from Jesus Freak Hideout, Indie Vision Music and New Release Tuesday; Walter Gorlitz above indicates that these are "recognised" RSes, but looking at them I find that a bit of a stretch. I freely admit I have no particular expertise in this area, which is why I am not !voting delete right now, but I'd appreciate a bit of clarification regarding why we're considering what seem like fairly minor, niche sites reliable. Frickeg (talk) 13:31, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Christian contemporary music tends to be a niche genre in terms of the overall music scene, though it sells quite well. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian music/Sources and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christian music/Sources for explanations as to these and other sources.--¿3family6 contribs 13:40, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While I'm impressed by the depth of that source list, I am a little taken aback at the apparently very lenient criteria being used to establish a reliable source. Editorial oversight is far from the only thing necessary, especially for a BLP. For a BLP I would generally assume at least some coverage in reliable, mainstream sources. Charmaine has precisely zero coverage outside of niche Christian music websites, and for that reason I'm going to have to go with delete on this one. Frickeg (talk) 08:51, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Frickeg There is a review of her latest album in Christianity Today, which is a "mainstream" source (unless by "mainstream" you mean "non-Christian" which is irrelevant and also unfair). Although this does not inherently infer notability for her but rather for the album, the article does talk about Charmaine herself, which can be used to support this article. Also, the same album was reviewed by HM, which I would not call mainstream but would completely satisfy reliability requirements (a print magazine until a few years ago, editorial oversight, cited in other reliable sources, etc.).--¿3family6 contribs 18:33, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't seen the Christianity Today source. I certainly wouldn't call CT "mainstream", but it's better than the others definitely. (I'm assuming the article is longer than the "preview" I'm seeing.) It should certainly be added to the article as a source. I'd still like to see something in a more general source (a review in a non-Christian publication, for example), but there's probably enough doubt for me at least to switch to neutral, especially since there does seem to be an argument that she meets WP:MUSICBIO (another of those guidelines one inevitably finds outside one's own area of expertise that seems to have an absurdly low threshold for notability, but presumably people find the same about my areas of interest, so). Frickeg (talk) 10:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I found some additional sources. One is a review by Christianity Today, and the other is a reprinting by Crosswalk.com of a CT review.--¿3family6 contribs 16:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete From reviewing the above sources and those in the article, it's clear that the subject of this article has not received sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:BIO. Given that this article falls firmly within the scope of WP:BLP, it is essential that it be referenced to high quality sources, and not amateur and niche websites. Nick-D (talk) 23:31, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • No amateur sites listed though. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:56, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • All of the sites in question have official staff and editorial oversight, and are frequently quoted or referenced in other publications such as CCM Magazine, Crosswalk.com, and HM.--¿3family6 contribs 00:46, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Niche websites referenced by other niche websites are not the high quality sources required by WP:BLP and WP:BIO. Mainstream sources with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy are needed. Nick-D (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Since you called them "Niche", I will take that as you don't know what sources to utilized in Christian music nor probably country music. If those source knew they had no reputation for fact checking nor accuracy, then they would take it as a slap-in-the-face, yet turn-the-other-check. See here for "Our Review & Interview Policy" section, and read it.HotHat (talk) 05:50, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • More sources:
Per Indie Vision Music, Charmaine went on a national tour in Australia with Jonathan Thulin: [23], [24]. HM mentioned that she also went on a national tour with Ryan Stevenson in the United States: [25]. There's also coverage in HM about how her single "Run" was included in Rock Band ([26]), as well as a mention that she performed at Creation Festival Northwest ([27]).
There also is an admittedly niche Christian teen girl print magazine that gave a brief biography of Charmaine back in 2002 ([28]).--¿3family6 contribs 01:08, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not inherited (WP:NOTINHERITED), and being the support act for another music act certainly doesn't confer notability (quite the opposite in fact). Notability is established by the availability of high quality sources which provided substantive coverage of the topic of the article, and the bar is set at a high level for BLPs. Nick-D (talk) 02:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Its quite sad that some editors don't know a darn thing about Christian music and the sourcing publications in our genre. Yes, NOTINHERITED is a policy and she has Notability per the reviews of her music in Cross Rhythms that was the only United Kingdom Christian music magazine and is still their leading online publication see Cross Rhythms. Also, Christianity Today is the most preeminent publication in all of Christian media, and they reviewed both of her albums. Christian Broadcasting Network is a leading Christian television outlet that has reviewed her second album. John DiBiase the founder of Jesus Freak Hideout reviewed both of her albums, and to the second one awarded a five star rating, which they even chronicle them here. So, it is because two of her albums got significant reviews by reliable publications that she is in fact notable to be included in this encyclopedia. By the way, JFH has been nominated for deletion twice and was kept so they are a reputable source and noteworthy publication to utilize in determining GNG, MUSICBIO and NALBUMS.HotHat (talk) 05:23, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Being notable has nothing at all to do with being reliable; I also notice that one of the sources used to establish notability was an actual RS, the Guardian, impugning JFH's reliability. I am sympathetic to the idea that certain WikiProjects have their own practices and standards, but in this case I am afraid I find those standards too far from the general requirements for a BLP and notability generally. Frickeg (talk) 08:51, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Passing No. 1 on MUSICBIO means nothing to you I see, and I am afraid Wikipedia does not care about Christian music nor its sources. Unless, I or a couple of other editors (3family6, Walter Gorlitz and Toa_Nidhiki05) have done work on articles pertaining to Christian music then this project would have virtually nothing worthwhile of Christian music. I have tried and utterly failed to get Christian music, whether it be bands, artist, albums or songs to be accepted here. By virtue of saying that sources such as Christianity Today, Cross Rhythms, HM Magazine, Christian Broadcasting Network, Jesus Freak Hideout, New Release Tuesday and Indie Vision Music are not acceptable sources to prove and satisfy Notability requirements is beyond me. Since, it is the case, I must admit that I have done nothing worthwhile and failed this encyclopedia.HotHat (talk) 09:21, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am amused by your interpretation of what constitutes a reliable source. May I suggest that rather than convince us that they're not RSes that you instead take the list of sources used in the article to WP:RSN. You already assume we have a bias or some sort of vested interest in this subject and will go to any lengths to keep the article on Wikipedia, but RSN is more likely to be neutral on the subject. If they determine that the sources are not reliable, I'll personally remove them and strike my keep vote. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:08, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going any further down the road of whether particular sources are notable or not, as I agree with Walter that that is a discussion for the RSN. I'm responding to Nick-D's comment on notability not being inherited. I did not mean to assert that Charmaine is notable because of these other acts, I was merely supplying sources that talk about her, however briefly. The first two sources about her going on tour I supplied in order to demonstrate that she satisfies criterion #4 of WP:MUSICBIO, receiving non-trivial coverage of "a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country." While her tour with Ryan Stevenson might be too brief to warrant notability (though I would ask how we determine if coverage is merely brief rather than trivial), the coverage of her tour in Australia with Jonathan Thulin is certainly not brief or trivial, and so that means that she satisfies criterion #4.--¿3family6 contribs 18:13, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jesus Freak Hideout reviewed her newest EP, so three highly reviewed albums 100-percent satisfies MUSICBIO's No. 1 criterion.HotHat (talk) 04:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Like I have said, and will continue to espouse that if an artists' music is reviewed, as much as, her music has been then it meets with the first criteria per MUSICBIO. Also, it is probably the case that OTHERSOURCESEXIST to confirm notability by another criteria like the editor 3family6 proves with his extensive research. She should have had an article on here three years ago, if other capable editors besides myself, 3family6 and Mr. Walter Gorlitz, would have done their due diligence to research her background more fully. So, my question is if two LP's are notable and one EP then that is not enough evidence, which gives rise to her biographical article should be created because of notability?HotHat (talk) 15:44, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I found a source directly about Charmaine. For those worried about reliability, BREATHEcast is an affiliate of The Christian Post, has editorial oversight and a reputation for fact checking, and is one of the top publications dealing with Christian music in the US.
  • This source notes that she guested on a Jonathan Thulin song that went No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Rock chart. I don't know if a guest appearance alone satisfies criterion #2 on WP:MUSICBIO, but if it does, than Charmaine is supported by that criterion.
  • This source verifies that Charmaine went on a national tour with Rebecca St. James, which further strengthens her support by criterion #4 of WP:MUSICBIO.
I wish to comment here that, yes, Charmaine is supported by exclusively Christian oriented sources. But there are lots of notable artists supported only by rock genre or indie genre or country genre or heavy metal genre oriented sources, so I don't see why genre-specific sources are a problem.--¿3family6 contribs 14:12, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bona fide notability now exist via a charting at No. 1 on the Christian AC/CHR, which can be found right oh so here. I just want to think Mr. Jonathan Thulin and his song "Dead Come to Life" because it brought Charmaine's Wikipedia biography back to existence.HotHat (talk) 16:20, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment promotional, but it's rewritable. The more important problem is that it reads asif it had been copied somewhere, in which case it should be deleted as a copyvio. DGG ( talk ) 01:42, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Regarding the copyvio, this article's text is roughly identical to Israela's description on [29].
It is not obvious which was the original. The WP version of the text was written around May 24, 2013. The article was written sometime (date unknown) after January 2013, according to Wayback Machine (the last cached revision without Israela was that time).
There are things leading me to believe either way: the WP version evolved(see "She appeared...") into its current form, which copyvios usually don't do. On the other hand, none of the other bios on the external page are copied from WP.

Clearly notable as a pianist and maybe as a playwright too. The quickest of Google searches reveals plenty of potential sources. --Deskford (talk) 09:36, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Deskford: notable subject, just needs a better article.—Lucas Thoms, formerly My Ubuntu (talk) 14:31, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Formerly sloppy article, since revamped, numerous reliable sources suggest subject easily passes the general notability guideline.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:11, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Passes GNG from sources now showing in the piece. Note to @Mr. Guye:: Be sure to search for sources per WP:BEFORE. Being written in a promotional tone is generally not regarded as a legitimate reason for deletion; it is something that should be fixed through the normal editing process or alternatively flagged for its flaws.

Non-notable mod of a notable game. No sources to speak of. Likely original research. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:14, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I'm not sure it's OR, but there's no justification for this article. DGG ( talk ) 01:56, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Surprisingly, it does get some hits on a WP:VG/RS custom Google search, but I don't think there's really enough coverage to call it "significant". People might want to take a look at that before they vote based on this atrocious article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:35, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - software article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. The search is complicated by the fact that the similarly named game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, did have an official multiplayer mode when initially released for PSP, but I found no significant RS coverage of this (PS2 version) mod.Dialectric (talk) 01:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
