WP:BLP of a musician which neither makes nor sources any substantive claim of notability that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC — as written, it just recounts his existence and lays it at the feet of two primary sources and a Blogspot. But that's not how a musician gets a Wikipedia article — it takes reliable source coverage demonstrating that he passes one or more of the NMUSIC criteria, but there's none of that here. Delete.

Plenty of refs but almost all are direct own refs or refs by Joanna Rutkowska in the blogosphere. It appears that Joanna Rutkowska is very closely associated with Qubes OS and gives interviews about it - and this interview is the final ref. Nothing independent, nothing substantial.

I just added two articles from The Economist and Wired to the article. It's clear that the developers (of which Joanna is one) do not update / care about this Wikipedia page, so I would recommend updating it with newer citations and deleting anything that's too self-referential rather than arguing it should be deleted due to poor maintenance by the community. They occasionally link to notable third-party articles that discuss Qubes on the main website which is where I found the above articles. This is an important software project that other notable projects like Whonix compare themselves to (and try to integrate with). CreakCask (talk) 23:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Qubes is presently at number 102 in Linux DistroWatch ranking (See [1]), gaining in popularity over months. It would be funny that this important linux distribution has no wikipedia entry. Brunogabuzomeu (talk) 09:52, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's one of the few linux distributions mirrored on the official linux kernel.org site [2]. If you delete Qubes feel free to delete the rest of the distributions on that list from Wikipedia as well. But seriously, if you find the article bad please help clean it up and update it -- it's clearly notable, just lacks attention. CreakCask (talk) 14:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an designer who works on various open source projects and have been contributing to Qubes recently. I've just updated the logo to be the current logo which is displayed on the website BrennanNovak (talk) 18:37, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also if the issue is the citations, why not put up Template: Primary sources warning, rather than the deletion warning? The original complaint was entirely focused on the lack of third-party refs. Did my additions of third-party references help? Some feedback would be appreciated. Feel free to delete some the first-party references that you find most problematic.

  • Merge The articles certainly overlap and should be merged.--Oneiros (talk) 23:21, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don´t think it is much to merge, actually. A user just registered, split the Susya-article into 3 articles *without* any discussion beforhand. I reversed the edit with the removal from Susya, but need others to agree to delete this, and the other new article: Susya, Har Hebron, Huldra (talk) 23:34, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK. There was no discussion. My mistake! So your solution in undoing all my work and not even bother to explain why? Why those 3 different places, as close as they might be, should be in 1 article? How does it help the reader who is looking for the information? I brought the similar case of Carmel where it is split. Settleman (talk) 07:33, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can user Huldra explain why it should be 1 article? Every time you read 'Susya' you have to guess which one of the distinct 3 places it is referred to. Settleman (talk) 07:23, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tentative keep These seem to be different settlements, even though located more or less in the same area. Debresser (talk) 14:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: there has been a tradition of one place =one article, take a look at Amka: why should that be in 1 article then? (exceptions are made where there is a lot of info: say, we have Londinium and Anglo-Saxon London in addition to London). From what we know so far: the history of these three articles is intimately connected, that is why it should be one article. Huldra (talk) 21:15, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt the history is so connected. Different places, different history. I saw nothing in Susya, Har Hebron that overlaps the other articles. Debresser (talk) 23:07, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A better example is Katzrin and Katzrin ancient village and synagogue or the 3 different Kabri articles. Settleman (talk) 08:47, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Which we are not discussing here. Debresser (talk) 10:40, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Settleman & Debresser + current Susya article is about controversial Khirbet Susya (mainly), then about ancient Jewish town, and a rest only about Susya, Har Hebron. --Igorp_lj (talk) 09:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think having separate articles on the ancient site, Palestinian village and Israeli settlement is fine. Huldra's claim that "there is a tradition of one place=one article" is entirely untrue, and she is well aware of the fact because she has worked on numerous articles on Arab villages depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War that had an Israeli locality established in their place (many of the articles in this category are duplicates). We also have several examples a third article on a historical site in the same location (e.g. Huqoq/Yaquq/Hukok). Number 57 11:33, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Swarm ♠ 23:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I should have said one place=one article when there is no complete break in tradition. Typically, Ein Hod is one article, (and should stay that way, IMO), while the structures of Huqoq were never a part of the life of Yaquq (AFAIK: they were mostly buried under ground, while Yaquq existed.) This in stark contrast with Sysya; where the ancient structures have been used up through the ages by different people. Not that the present divisions everywhere on Wikipedia is perfect: e.g. Ayn Karim should obviously be a part of Ein Karem, IMO: one of the articles was started without community consensus, and now both articles are a complete total mess. As, I suspect, will these 3 articles be in the future. (If they stay as 3 articles, that is), Huldra (talk) 23:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Answer - The logic is sound, yet, this isn't Ayn Karim/Ein Karem case where one article covers all history and another tiny article just says "Oh, by the way, it was depopulated by Israel" (Interestingly enough you edited both and it didn't occur to you until now the 2nd one should be deleted). A better comparison will be City of David located inside Silwan which has it's own article because the archaeological site is notable. Settleman (talk) 16:49, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please see my comment here. Not sure why this is 3 separate discussions instead of just one. Kingsindian ♝♚ 11:28, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect. Simply add a trimmed history section to Susya, Har Hebron.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Obvious attempt at ethnic separatism for three overlapping realities, to restrict the Palestinians to the dump the occupying authorities consigned them to, and cleanse the 'Jewish' site of any odour of 'Arabs'. According to the latest information much of the whole area is under Ottoman period Palestinian title, and that is from Israel's Civil Administration's resident expert.Nishidani (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: this POV-fork was made by an obvious, and extremely disruptive sock. When did we start to reward liars and cheaters like that? Huldra (talk) 22:17, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, totally my mistake; I mixed "Settleman" up with "ISavedPvtRyan", (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wlglunight93). Until anything else is proven, we all have to "believe" that Settleman is a brilliant new editor, (heh), Huldra (talk) 22:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Terms like "POV", and "disruptive editor" are WP:PEACOCK terms, and do not carry any more weight than a simple "delete as fork". By the way, I just want to repeat that this is not a fork, but an article about a different location. Debresser (talk) 07:33, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is about a fork created by a banned editor, the fact of whose abusive meddling is being casually ignored by editors supporting his disruptiveness.Nishidani (talk) 10:22, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - What should I do if another user deletes my comments? Settleman (talk) 13:44, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Map of the area showing the 3 different places

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Settleman (talk • contribs) 14:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all 3 articles; one is about a small town where people live, one is about a significant archaeological site; and this one is primarily about a land rights controversy over a small Palestinian settlement. 3 locations = 3 articles. But have a disambigulation line right at the top directing readers to other two places.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:14, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. One article covers the same specific locale in its various histories which are intertwined after Jewish settlement. Splitting only created stubs that will remain stubs, since there is a dearth of RS on each element considered independently. The only purpose of the split, as before, was to get rid of the Palestinian historic presence from the new Israel settlement. Wiki is not a tourist airbrushed brochure for readers who displike history and complexity.Nishidani (talk) 16:27, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. (1)Every other settlement has its own article. (2)It sits a few km away from the archaeological site and related to it only by name.

  • Keep I think having separate articles on the ancient site, Palestinian village and Israeli settlement is fine. I am also rather disturbed (although not surprised) by the deletion rationale and some of he subsequent argument for deleting. We have numerous separate articles on Arab villages depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the subsequent Israeli localies established in their place. We also have numerous examples of a third article on a historical site in the same location (e.g. Huqoq/Yaquq/Hukok). There seems to be some kind of double standard being played here - i.e. that depopulated Arab villages (which the creator of this AfD has worked on heavily) are worthy of a separate article but Israeli settlements are not). I think the closer of the AfD might also find it useful to read Talk:Susya#Split? and make up their own mind about what is going on here. Number 57 11:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Answer - your logic is sound. The problem is, you neglect the fact Susya, Har Hebron is exactly like your Huquq example b/c it is in a different location and thus your vote should be Keep. Settleman (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment User:Number 57: see my comments on Talk:Yaquq: I did not object to a new article Huqoq (in the same place), as there was absolutely no overlapping history: Yaquq and Huqoq could be two clearly defined different articles. This is not the case here. That, and the fact that these new articles were very obviously made by an extremely disruptive sock: when did we start to reward those cheaters? Huldra (talk) 22:12, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What is the overlapping history here? There is nothing in the article to connect historical Susya to Khirbet Susya since there is a gap of at least 500 years (13th-19th). The settlement is built a few KMs away and the attempt to include it is based on agenda. Settleman (talk) 13:57, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: There is no overriding reason to split this article, for instance WP:TOOBIG does not apply. Discussing the historical situation is an integral part of any location, especially when the history is not dead, but ongoing. Moreover, we should look at the sources cited. A fair bit of the notability of this article comes from the fact of a struggle about eviction from Susya, with international statements on this by the US and EU. It would be wrong to hive off such matters into a separate article; this would intrinsically violate WP:POVFORK. Also, it is not possible to neatly separate out the Israeli settlement and Palestinian Susya. For instance, the UN factsheet states that People’s access to their farming and grazing land has been progressively reduced due to systematic abuse and intimidation by Israeli settlers. A simple look at the Susya, Har Hebron page shows that nothing of this is mentioned. Kingsindian ♝♚ 11:22, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Answer - The UN report make a clear split between the two. One is Susya and the other is Susiya. By your logic, al-Karmil and Carmel, Har Hebron as well as Adora, Har Hebron and Dura, Hebron should be united. Settleman (talk) 16:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe they should, but please read WP:OSE. I had no role in creating the other articles, and have no opinion about them. Kingsindian ♝♚ 21:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit is a prime example why the articles should be separated. You moved text to create chronological order but now anyone who reads it will think that the settlement was displaced. There is no one timeline because the two are in different location.Settleman (talk) 13:50, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I will deal with the point about "3 separate locations here". Please see this UN map. The original Palestinian community location was declared in 1986 to be an archaeological site and the inhabitants expelled (point 3); they settled a few hundred metres away. The illegal Israeli settlement was built in 1983, and some of the people live in the area from which the Palestinians were expelled (point 5). From the other side, since the 1990s, the Israeli settlement was expanded to "five times the currently built up area" (point 6), which intersects a large part of the Palestinian community area and resulted in "systematic settler violence and intimidation" denying access to 2000 dunums of land (point 7). Whatever your views about settlements, I fail to see how artificially separating out things which are inseparable will lead to a better article. Kingsindian ♝♚ 18:23, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To your points - The distance between settlement and historical site is almost 2 km. Between Psagot and al-Bireh there is basically a fence and between Ofra and Ein Yabrud there is a road. So what? does that mean they don't need their article? Maybe we should combine Ma'on, Har Hebron and at-Tuwani which are just as close and have just as many issue between settlers and Palestinians. So... many settlements and Palestinian villages has issues and are close by. Lucky for them, their name is different so they got their own article. (Like I mentioned earlier, in your edit you messed up because it is confusing. Which one of the there are we talking about now?) Settleman (talk) 05:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Settleman: You are a new user, so here is a tip, free of charge. You are of course free to comment on everything, as you have done on this page, but people are not forced to reply to each and every point you make. You might want to read the essay WP:BLUDGEON.

This is a solid contribution in the name of telehealth / population health. All the references have been verified by several moderators.

He penned substantial research at Brookings and holds a Trustee role at that institution which is usually only given to people with considerable careers and contributions. I disagree with DGG.

Reading HEXL.com/news and the WIKI tells me that Richard's viewpoint is well informed, skilled, notable and should be publically available on WIKI. Telehealth is a valued topic and we may soon achieve better patient care through the efforts of people like Richard. Getting doctors, hospitals and insurance companies to agree on anything is a major feat, arranged by a noble effort, and should be listed as a notable act so why should we cast it aside and not find value in it for all the American people to learn more about. There are third party interviews on the WIKI and on the hexl.com news page. Add all of that to a Brookings post, Ralph Lauren Cancer Clinic and fellowship at Stanford and you have notability. If we are going to qualify Brookings and Stanford as institutions that accept or produce unworthy individuals then we should be concerned for the whole world and not just this one wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uruquart (talk • contribs) 18:25, 29 July 2015 (UTC) [reply]

Stanford DCI http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2014/pr-dci-2015-fellows-10-16-14.html is a selection process from one of the TOP ranked schools in the world. Being recognized by top institutions for your contribution is notable otherwise how would anyone ever achieve goals or have people to support their ideas.

  • Delete: fails WP:NSOFT. Sources are primary or not independent. The book source contains content written by the CEO which does not count as a notability argument for this corp. Vrac (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The CEO was not an author of the book. He was one of the subjects of the book. In addition, the University of Marburg provides training on the use of Planio, which meets the notability requirements of WP:NSOFT. Tommycarney (talk) 15:14, 23 July 2015 (UTC)— Tommycarney (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Autoren der Expertenbeiträge in alphabetischer Reihenfolge:...Jan Schulz-Hofen (Planio GmbH) ... Like I said. As for the the university: wurde ein internes Schulungsangebot eingerichtet, of course an organization that buys software is likely to offer internal training sessions on how to use it. It doesn't make this software particularly notable. Vrac (talk) 18:16, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
CEO was interviewed as an expert. According to book listing, CEO is not an author. [1] Additionally, the part which states that MTV and Software AG are customers is not part of the interview but part of the general description of Planio in the paragraph leading into the interview. Finally, there are at least 6 additional independent secondary sources for the article. Tommycarney (talk) 11:59, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One could argue that the fact that University of Marburg bought and uses the software could make the software notable on its own. The University is a renowned institution which is over 500 years old. A software which their data center services department selects and rolls out campus-wide will unlikely be unknown. Being a customer doesn't make the source dependent IMHO. Janschulzhofen (talk) 10:20, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a valid argument for notability in Wikipedia. WP:NOTABILITY is established by what reliable sources say about subjects, not on opinions of importance or ideas of intrinsic notability. The university web page is not a reliable source, it is an informational page for their project management. And please don't try to tell me otherwise like Tommycarney did, I do speak German. Vrac (talk) 12:00, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also Fraunhofer is a customer of Planio's which means the source is not exactly independent. Vrac (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fraunhofer Society is an organisation with over 23,000 employees and 66 separate institutes. According to the source you mention only the Fraunhofer ITWM (Institute for Technology and Industrial Mathematics) based in Kaiserslautern is a customer. The book was written by Fraunhofer IAO (Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation) which is based in Stuttgart. There is no connection between the one institute being a customer and the other institute writing the book. Janschulzhofen (talk) 10:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So you say, but there is a potential conflict of interest, kind of like you editing your company's Wikipedia article, except that there is no doubt about your conflict of interest. Since the creator of this article has attempted to misrepresent sources, I'm inclined to be skeptical of claims of propriety. You really should read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Vrac (talk) 12:00, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I am generally in favour of keeping Wikipedia clean and not creating articles for every new startup that pops up. However, this company is 5 years old and seems to have acquired some notability. It has won an award and a book has been written about it. No matter if the CEO is an author or not - Fraunhofer has decided to include them in their book. Fraunhofer is a reputable organization. I don't think they'd to this "as a favour" because they're clients. Also being offered to students by Uni Marburg is quite strong." — Charlie.rodricks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete for now preferably rather than say redirect to Horrid Henry which seems to have the most episodes because I'm familiar with all these shows but her bio is vulnerable to BLP issues and is probably best deleted for now (IMDb takes care of the necessary information anyway).

  • Comment -- As a BLP, it ought to have sources. It does not seem to be too bad an article in principle (if sourced). Not sure whether she is really notable.

  • Keep As I stated in the previous discussion, Ted is a growing franchise as it has two films, as well as merchandise and games. Albeit the merchandise and games aren't acknowledged in this article, they were in Ted (franchise). A hint in the theme park underworld also says ride though that is unconfirmed and I have no credible source for it. CDRL102 (talk) 00:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two films alone are not enough to constitute a franchise, and we don't include unconfirmed information per WP:CRYSTAL; all article content must be reliably sourced. I can't find anything on Ted-related games. Merchandise might be available, but that's irrelevant to whether this merits its own article. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The argument two films does not make a franchise is invalid, as I said in the previous discussion, there are many film franchises on wikipedia with just one film, but they make up for it in other ways, ie merchandise and games, which Ted also has. I know the theme park attraction is unconfirmed, which is why it is not mentioned in this article nor was it mentioned in the previous article. As for the game - http://www.xyi.com/universal/Ted-uk/FistsofFurry/ . As well as that, despite the fact MacFarlane hasn't confirmed the third film, Sam Jones has confirmed he is contracted for one, which in theory is a reliable source. Amanda Seyfried also said she joined the franchise to be in several films. CDRL102 (talk) 15:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I said two films alone aren't enough to make a franchise. A franchise could theoretically contain a TV series and two films, same with a TV series and one film, but two films on their own don't make one. Other franchise articles are irrelevant to this discussion per WP:WAX. The game you linked doesn't really count as an official game as XYi has no confirmed affiliation with the films or even MacFarlane. It's likely fan-made. Merchandise doesn't cut it either and is irrelevant here. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:20, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep and Close Dr. Graves' leadership role in an international church is, on its own terms, more than a little notable. A very simple Google search easily pulls up acceptable sourcing that details Dr. Graves' notability -- [6], [7], [8] - which can easily be added to the article. And let's be perfectly honest - this AfD is not here by accident. This AfD is strictly here as an act of vindictiveness following my questioning of the nominator's efforts to save this article - [9] - in another AfD debate, even going to the point of trying to erase my editing of the article that included redlinks that clearly show the subject's achievements are not notable. In fact, the nominator specifically cited this article in a sad attempt to embarrass me in that other AfD discussion. And this is why so many people get sour on Wikipedia - they are here to try to do something of value and they are treated like sh*t. And Adoil Descended (talk) 20:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Post-script: I would also recommend going through all of the entries in General Superintendent (Church of the Nazarene) and compare this stub to the other entries of previous superintendents. You will see the article is no better and no worse than any of the other biographical articles on previous superintendents. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • [User:And Adoil Descended]] I do not doubt Dr. Graves' leadership within the Church of the Nazarene. However, denomination-affiliated publications cannot be used to establish notability, see: WP:N. What is needed to pass WP:N are articles about Dr. Graves in publications not affiliated with the denomination, thinks like book reviews and profiles whether in the Los Angeles Times or the Christian Post, but not in the denominational press. The exception to this rule is that clergy who attain certain high rank within denominations are considered Wikipecia notable (much as congressmen and college presidents are), which is why Superintendents have articles. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:17, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And how do you explain the other articles listed in General Superintendent (Church of the Nazarene), none of which are stuffed with Los Angeles Times profiles of the church leaders? In fact, most of them have far less in the way of sourcing than the article on Dr. Graves. Why aren't any of those articles up for deletion as well? And while we are talking about WP:N, may I quote from the guideline that notability is extended when "the person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." Dr. Graves, in his role as General Superintendent, has become part of the "enduring historical record" of his church. In fact, the phrase "denomination-affiliated publications" and the warning against these publications is not found in WP:N, nor is it found in WP:VERIFIABILITY. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:33, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Show me the rule, in which the WP:GNG does not apply, such that heads of churches are automatically granted their own articles, and I'll consider withdrawing my nomination.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tom, It is commonly cited (asserted?) with high-ranking Mormons (Council of The 70) and Presbyterian Moderators, and us sort of accepted by extension, I suppose, from WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES, shall I find some examples of AFDs where this came up?E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Specific guidelines such as WP:CLERGY tend to codify the past experience of Wikipedians in determining notability, although notability is still determined by the general notability guideline. For example, Catholic bishops, in the cumulative experience of Wikipedians, tend to be notable because they almost always pass the basic criteria for people. What these Bishops do has impact -- it is covered in major media -- their decisions affect not only the Catholic community but the wider world, and are reported in the NY Times, Guardian, etc. In contrast, a much less prominent religion such as the Church of the Nazarene really does not get much coverage at all, because it does not have much impact. The Wikipedia rule is People listed as bishops in Pentecostalist denominations may fail AFDs unless they have significant reliable third party coverage. My sweeps of sources found nothing on Mr. Graves other than reports within its own magazines (which does not seem impartial). Further, if you look at prestigious position, you'll see that it falls under the subject heading of factors that do not automatically render notability. The result is current "articles" on Mr. Graves which are almost entirely unsupported, could be fabricated, are uncheckable, and are BLP violations.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The General Superintendent is the highest elected office within the Church of the Nazarene, which has more than 2.2 million members in 159 countries. I think this very obvious fact ensures that the subject of the article more than passes the very basic standards of notability. And the grasping-at-straws statements that the religion "does not have much impact" or that the source material about Dr. Graves is "fabricated" shows off the venality and foolishness of this AfD. I strongly recommend that this AfD be shut down with all due speed. And Adoil Descended (talk) 12:12, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If so, then where are the sources?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not on my part. I sincerely don't think Graves is notable. I've always gone by the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not so fast. The other editor's obsession with Dr. Graves began in this AfD [10] when he scavenged through my back edits and pulled up the stub I wrote on this subject in an attempt to discredit my comprehension of WP:RS. You will also notice that he made no effort to have any other article in General Superintendent (Church of the Nazarene) removed, even though most of them have worst referencing than this one. How is it that Dr. Graves' article alone fails WP:GNG and no other article in General Superintendent (Church of the Nazarene) has the same problem? And Adoil Descended (talk) 18:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If community consensus is to keep articles on top church officials, regardless of lack of sources, then I'll withdraw my nomination. Please understand my nomination was made in good faith, my predisposition is to doubt any article which lacks sources.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- "General superintendent" as head of the denomination is essentially the equivalent of a bishop in other denominations. If the complaint is that the article is unsourced, it should be tagged accordingly, not deleted. There are many unsourced articles in WP. If they were all deleted, WP would be much smaller. WP:V requires that information is capable of verification, not that that every fact has a full citation. I appreciate that BLP articles are now required to have citations, but a citation of an internal source (such as a denominational website) ought to be sufficient for that, even though such sources do not qualify as WP:RS.

WP:ORG is the relevant point. Can you elaborate on which sources you meant by "others"? More than a single piece in Forbes is necessary to demonstrate notability. SmartSE (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note. Looking more closely I notice I was wrong about the reliability of Forbes in this instance as I now realise that all their articles are under /sites/ rather than just the non-RS blogs.

  • Delete Being on NASDAQ has always been considered insufficient for notability ,so it doesn't matter how well it has been proven. The remainder of the material on Highbeam is either routine legal notices or press releases in trade journals--nothing on that page seems to be a reliable source for notability.

Comment: As they have produced several award-winning films and seem to have some Finnish language coverage, I will await input from Finnish Wikipedians. We now have an article on the arguably notable and easily sourcable Tero Kaukomaa, so a partial merge and redirect to he or to his his partner Timo Vuorensola is also a consideration as Timo's involvement can be sourced.

  • Keep and use available sourcing to improve as being poorly sourced is a reason to fix, not delete. I reached this decision after being inspired by my own comment above to create an article on its founder Tero Kaukomaa and finding that both he and his company Blind Spot Pictures Oy have received a great deal of brief but more-than-trivial mention in in multiple film industry reliable sources to meet WP:N. It serves the project for this to be kept and improved over time and through regular editing to inform readers interested in the Finnish film industry.

Fails WP:ORG. Search for sources yields only discussion on penny stock boards, press releases and other WP:SPS, and other poor sources.

If the nominator used only this very basic search mechanism as shown above, nominator didn't do his homework. Nominator glosses over the fact/refuses to acknowledge that (A) this company is in the research stage for its products (so it cannot have any products for sale, and that is in any case irrelevant to whether it should be listed on Wikipedia or not), (B) has presented at conferences (including ALZ's AAIC 2015), (C) is listed on the US stock market, (D) has been covered by the media, and very significantly, (E) has a trial showing promising results with probably the only drug that corrects protein folding in Alzheimer's patients. Note that the article being nominated for deletion has been very significantly cut down by User:Alexbrn, and after I attempted to restore (asking why it was cut down in the first place, since there were sources), it was reverted by User:Jytdog, claiming there were no sources (there were), then after I added *more* sources, it was again reverted by (apparently) Alexbrn's bot, and after I reverted the bot's edit, was again reverted to its current state by User:Jytdog, who accused me of edit warring, all the while initially reverting my edits/reverts without any reason that didn't lead to a WP page.

  • Table / allow extended dicussion. I have no final vote on the matter, but am discussing it with others offline to better understand how such decisions should be view. My only present comment is that pharmas should not be viewed through the lens of information technology startups (which often rapidly have products, though rarely making profit on them for years). In the case of small pharma, not yet having a product does not mean that reputable sources will not exist; nor should it being a "penny stock" count against it. Brick and mortar startups have distinct attributes regarding their notability, and if this one has a single compound in the pipeline that has been presented to good press at a national meeting, then it is suitably noteworthy. My view, but again, without a firm vote, yet. Cheers. Leprof 7272 (talk) 18:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't "table" AfDs to the best of my knowledge. I looked for sources to show NOTABILITY and found them lacking. If you can find good sources (not crappy ones) to improve the article with, please do - there is no bar to improving an article while an AfD is ongoing. But people will look at what is there, when they arrive here, and each will decide if they want to !vote or not. Jytdog (talk) 19:21, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an item from Yahoo Australia, it's a report from "7News Melbourne". That you say it's not directly about the company is facetious at best. It is directly about the company's trials, which is what the company is doing. Your citation of "it fails WP:MEDRS" is invalid for many reasons, one of them being that Leprof pointed out this is an article about a company, not about settled medicine. --Agamemnus (talk) 16:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I said it fails MEDRS "for health content" which it does; and as you say, it's "about the company's trials" - the company is thus incidental. Sometimes trials have articles on Wikipedia, but they need substantial coverage. See GERAC e.g. Alexbrn (talk) 16:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree that the article fails MEDRS. The article you cited is an article where multiple companies are involved. The article I cited is an article in favor of the company's significance. I am not in favor of making an article for a single trial. They have conducted more than one trial and will conduct more. --Agamemnus (talk) 16:53, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Existence is not enough, and nobody with experience here should be making that argument. When they have an approved product, there are likely to be good sources. As far as our experience here goes, it is even possible that when they are engaged in State III trials, which are the ones whose successful completion leads to approval, there may well be enough sources. But not early stage II, where most product candidates never get any further. Articles in the popular press about them at this stage are just hype, otherwise known as advance PR, they are not encyclopedic information information. Claims for medical usefulness must follow MEDRS, even in non medical articles. This very specifically applies to the making of claims that something will treat a human disease, on the basis of in vitro studies. It's that type of material which caused us to adopt the MEDRS requirements DGG ( talk ) 21:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Moderate notability with regards to the Fomula One articles and the F1 video games' articles are already connected through a navbox and a category, making a dedicated article which simply repeats what's already here in other namespaces redundant.

  • Keep – Per page statistics, the navbox has 53 views in the past 30 days, taking into consideration that it may not count views from the box placed on other pages (I couldn't find that information of where the box is actually placed throughout Wikipedia)... while over that same period, the catagory has 526 views and this article has 4381 views. While these numbers are based off of software marked as beta, it does appear that the reader would stand to lose more accessibility by deleting the article rather than the navbox or catagory if the argument is simply that of redundancy. Twirlypen (talk) 10:05, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Also, while it lacks any inline citations whatsoever, it is heavily referenced. Poor MOS shouldn't get an article deleted on that alone. Twirlypen (talk) 10:15, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just one of the games got 31244 views in the last thirty days, while the average F1 season article had 128248. For the video game article, that's nearly eight times as much as the list of the games. So the list itself doesn't get that much attention at all. And like you self-admitted your numbers on the navbox are incorrect. Here are all the articles to transclude the navbox. Everytime these articles are viewed the navbox get at view as well. Tvx1 15:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In all fairness, your example is right at the top of the current season article as a "Not to be confused with..." notation.

  • Repurpose to List of Formula One video games. Many of the keep rationales above are not based in policy or much depth. And as for whether categories, lists, templates can be redundant (as nominated)), WP:CLN says it can. I think the list is a smarter way of getting through the ugly navbox. Anyway, these are all clearly linked to F1 as a brand and once all the unsourced material is removed, the list should be sufficient. – czar 15:12, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't object to renaming to 'List of...' and lists can still have background information. Unsourced information shouldn't just be deleted, it should be looked at to see whether it can be sourced. Also interesting to note that the GNG says "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." Though I think I've shown notability anyway, WP:USEFUL is sometimes a reason to keep, particularly for lists. Polequant (talk) 11:51, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable martial artist. Studying BJJ under the Gracies doesn't make him notable and he has no sporting success to show he meets WP:NSPORTS or WP:MANOTE. Lacks the significant independent coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. Article has the usual unsupported claims about training police and military personnel. Mdtemp (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Unusual unsupported claims about training police and military personnel"??? This must be a hater trying to delete the article about a martial art professor who received his belt and professor diploma from Helio Gracie himself. Only 27 people in the world have achieved this. About military and LE instruction, Valente has taught local and federal law enforcement departments and most of the US military branches. Recently these guys were teaching the elite of the Navy. Just do a search on google and you will find all the info on them. These guys are recognized around the world as being the most legit instructors in self defense and yes they are NOT competitors and hove NO fame for that. THEY ARE PROFESSORS AND FOR THAT THEY ARE VERY HIGHLY RECOGNIZED AND FAMOUS.

I wrote this article because I saw a big piece on him on Ocean Drive magazine and on a Record TV. I did some research online and found a lot of evidence on the Valente's. It is very useful to keep this article online. Miamijj1 (talk) 20:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is to soon to have this article already published. It was created out of a habit that these articles for two seasons away in the future are always created around this time. While that is true, it has never been proven that the articles and the readers have clearly benefitted from being created this early. While there is a bit of content unique to 2017, it is not actually that much and insufficient to warrant this article to be existing already. The recentmost predecessor, 2016 Formula One season was created in July 2014 (actually it had been created and deleted a couple of times before that) and for the first six months of its existence it was only subjected to addition of unsourced information, vandalism and edit warring. Not just a bit of that, it was the only thing. See the articles history. Only towards the end of 2014/beginning of 2015 did considerable information for 2016 become available and the article could be expanded considerably. We are in no rush whatsoever to publish things and we can easily wait quite some time before putting this article up live. Tvx1 15:23, 3 August 2015 (UTC) Tvx1 15:23, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, there is no such guideline or policy that states that it is no to soon to have an article if any sources about it are available. Whether a subject 'already) merits an encyclopedia article is determined by the notability guidelines. Don't make the mistake that we should include something simply because it has been mentioned in sources. Tvx1 16:12, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I wouldn't normally support it, but it has sources, plus the regulation changes for the 2017 season are notable and will only receive more coverage and discussion in the near future. —МандичкаYO 😜 17:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Regulation changes which are only speculated and not confirmed at all. And that they will only receive more coverage and discussion in the near future is just your speculation. It might as we'll remain silent about the subject for a few months. That's not justification for having the article right now. We might as well delete the article and recreate it in a month or six/seven if we have more definite rule changes to report on. Tvx1 18:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think it matters that it's speculated as it's received significant coverage. It's not a BLP, so when reliable sources speculate strongly about something, it can be notable. (I'm not sure if you're serious about it being only my speculation that there will be more coverage of these regulation changes... are you really implying there might be NO such coverage? This will just disappear? Nobody will talk about these rules either being implemented or abandoned? OK...) Additionally, drivers have confirmed participation in this event. Having an article on a sports event/season two years out seems perfect suitables when entries have been confirmed and there is coverage. —МандичкаYO 😜 20:27, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Formula management seems to change their mind in a wimp regarding rules. They raised the idea after a disappointingly boring 2015. But since then we had an eventful 2015 and really exciting 2015. Another such race and they might decide that no drastic rule changes are needed after all. So yes you are speculating a bit there. And regarding the entries, that's actually one of the main motivations of my nomination. Save for one new constructor entry, no entries have actually been confirmed yet, just three drivers signing a long term contract a while ago. Tvx1 21:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, your argument against referenced speculation (actually, it's noting that the Formula One Strategy Group agreed to these proposals. This is something that has actually happened and is not speculation at all) is quite simply unreferenced speculation? Twirlypen (talk) 03:50, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The strategy group did not agree to these proposals, they made them. The FIA are the ones who have to agree with them. Tvx1 09:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It doesn't even reach the FIA if all 6 teams in the Strategy Group don't agree to them. Remember the Manor rule allowing them to use the 2014 car in 2014 trim that got shelved simply because the first team in the group to vote, Force India, voted no? It has to be unanimous to even reach the WMSC. Twirlypen (talk) 10:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even then they can easily be rejected by the WMSC. Moreover, Formula One people tend to change their opinion very quickly. Earlier this season the teams unanimously agreed with an extra unpenalized power unit to be used on top of the four they could use already through the Strategy group and one week later they changed their mind and drivers started getting penalties for using fifth power unit components. Tvx1 21:04, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Tend to" =/ "definately will". Again, the readers are not misled. Nothing is stated that the changes will or will not happen, only that they have been agreed upon and proposed by the Strategy Group. Simple reading comprehension. "An initial series of changes have been put forward by Formula One Strategy Group but have yet to be accepted by the FIA, including: [...]" 99% of the time, the best way to interpret content is to read it one word at a time and not look too far into "secret meanings". It is sourced that these proposals have been put forth and written explicitly in a manner that doesn't imply they are anything more than just that: proposals. If you think readers will misinterpret that as the changes will definately occur, then you are simply devaluing and insulting the reader's intelligence. If/when a subsequent source comes along stating that the FIA has rejected/accepted the proposals, we can just, you know, CHANGE it. You're acting like what's written now is written in stone when. In fact, your only argument against reputably sourced material is basically "The FIA tends to reject some proposals, so I, without sources whatsoever regarding their decision on the new proposals, declare that they will probably reject them and therefore this should be eliminated". If that's not pure speculation, thinking the FIA will do something based off of past tendencies and using this judgement to attempt to influence sourced content that's not misleading, then I don't know what is. Also, to touch on what you said earlier to another editor in what seemed like a condescending manner, this isn't the place to dispute content. Twirlypen (talk) 04:21, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I would disagree, traditionally at WP:F1 it is usually two seasons ahead we have it, so now it's 2015, the 2017 article should be up. The reason for this is we know regulations and contracts for this year, which can therefore be sourced/referenced which qualifies for an article. The only issue I have with this article (and previous season articles) is the list of races, where it says "list of races contracted for 2016, but not for 2017". Also the information about the GPoA I would prefer off the list also, because really it isn't happening, users talk about the contract being signed, yes that's fair enough, but the race hasn't happened, therefore the contract has been broken and no longer is relevant, but others will argue that. CDRL102 (talk) 00:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
May I also comment, a pet hate of mine is when a user tries to speedy delete an article and it fails so they nominate it for deletion. There was a reason it wasn't speedy deleted, because it is a good article. CDRL102 (talk) 01:05, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not the place to discuss changes to the article's content. You should do that on its talk page. And a decline to speedy delete is not an endorsement of it being a good article. It just declared that it does not meet the strict criterium under which it was created. I will also note that the person who declined the speedy delete even suggested going to AfD. Tvx1 09:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can tell from the speedy deletion discussion that the person that suggested it didn't mean for it to be taken literally. Your only argument on this, as outlined in the description you wrote, is basically "a lot of people vandalised the 2016 article and I didn't like having to revert it, plus there wasn't a lot of new information for the first six months or so. Therefore, I speculate it will happen again." Again, no matter how much you say otherwise, VANDALISM AND UNSOURCED ADDITIONS ARE NOT CRITERIA FOR DELETION! Drop the stick already. Twirlypen (talk) 05:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep – It is within the timeframe of season creation articles with the past five season articles, along with that there is unique and referencable information pertaining directly to that season, as per above. This nominator appears to have a grudge against its existence despite these referencable facts, as it's the same editor that nominated it for speedy deletion and was rejected, simply because they cannot be bothered to revert inevitable vandalism. However, AfD is clearly not the avenue for article protection against vandalism, and I'm finding the continuous attempts to get the article deleted by a lone editor to be a bit much. Twirlypen (talk) 03:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • No grudge at all. Just a genuine good faith concern that there is not benefit at all of having this article already instead of say at the start of 2017 when we'll likely have much more specific information for it. I still like to see any argument how for instance 2016 benefitted from being created in July 2014 instead of at least six months later. No harrassement by any means. Please comment on the content and not on the nominator/contributors in an AfD. There are other avenues for that. Tvx1 09:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the same reasons made during the speedy deletion discussion. You might think that the facts are trivial, but they are unique to the season and precedence has held that this is enough to warrant an article creation - especially when everything is properly sourced. The tendency that new articles are subject to vandalism and/or don't get updated or have edits made every day isn't particularly relevant to the criteria for article deletion. As the article is written right now, there's nothing really much wrong with it. The Strategy Group DID agree to the proposals to bring forward to the FIA. This can be and is cited. The FIA HAS opened a tender for new tyre suppliers and it can be sourced that there are bids from two companies, which will be selected at the next WMSC meeting in Paris on 30 September. Nothing in the article is written in a manner that expicitly states or implies that these changes are definately going to happen, so no one is being misled. We don't have to wait for the season to be on the doorstep to create an article about it. See 2028 Summer Olympics. Twirlypen (talk) 09:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, for the aforementioned reasons. There seems to have been an attitude among the WikiProject of late that future articles should only be created on a set date, rather than based on the merits of available sources. It seems to be a by-product of the 2013 season, where the regulations were deliberately kept stable ahead of the major changes in 2014. In this case, the proposed regulation changes for 2017 are substantial enough to justify the article's creation. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That seems to be just as much an argument for deletion as one for keeping. The most important rationale for creating and keeping is :"we always create them this time of the year" (i.e. set date), instead of the quality and the quantity of the article. Tvx1 12:59, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • What's wrong with the quality? Nothing is unsourced or speculated. And as far as I can find, article size doesn't dictate whether a topic is deserving of an article. The sources are reliable, the content is not misleading. This is, again, no different than the aforementioned 2028 Olympic article stating that cities have put in bids to host with sources. Twirlypen (talk) 18:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact is there is just no that much 2017 specific content in there. A mere three drivers, a list of contracted races (which could make for some years to come based on the contracts) and some speculated rules changes. Not that much to warrant a standalone article. It could easily be discussed at Formula One#Future. Wait a minute.....it is discussed there. Tvx1 20:58, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it is mentioned in that section over the course of one entire paragraph. Still a weak argument against the deletion of expanded information with sourced material. It's not like it's just a placecard for the season like it was back in 2010 or 2013. With that logic, let's just delete all mentions of Jules Bianchi dying outside of his own article then, since apparently information is only allowed to be mentioned in one article and one article only. The content is clearly sufficient for it's own article, as determined by an administrator when the draft went through the AfC process. Its existence doesn't hamper, detract, or hinder the overall project at all as stated by other contributors in this discussion. Anyway, it's clear we've both made our opinions known. We'll see how another administrator feels once this frivolous submission gets to the top of the queue. Twirlypen (talk) 04:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who has said that information can never be included in more than one article? That's just nonsense. Tvx1 08:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You did, literally one comment before this. "Not that much to warrant a standalone article. It could easily be discussed at Formula One#Future. Wait a minute.....it is discussed there." And you're right, it is nonsense. Twirlypen (talk) 09:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Including the 2010 discussion from five years ago is completely meaningless. That argument has absolutely nothing to do with this one and continuous tagging of the article only further serves to show that you're heading down the option B path instead of option C. Twirlypen (talk) 05:38, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no idea what this accusation pertains to. Again, please don't discuss contributors here. Tvx1 08:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Including a discussion that is completely irrelevant to this one isn't discussing a contributor, it's pointing out a sly attempt at canvassing, as anyone outside of the project is going to see that and assume it's a true second attempt deleting an article when in fact the two discussions are five years apart and are completely unrelated to each other. Twirlypen (talk) 09:51, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Twirlypen, it's a policy to include the previous deletion for an article in a box on top of an AfD. It's not something you can choose to do. In fact the box is added automatically when the AfD is generated. And yes your WP:PONY accusation was very much a case of discussing the contributor. Tvx1 16:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The line A deletion discussion should normally be allowed to run for seven full days (168 hours) is advisory, it does not say must. Also Wikipedia:Snowball clause could be called, only the nominator has said delete, all other votes are for keep or speedy keep. CDRL102 (talk) 22:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, but only 50 or so hours have elapsed since nomination. Only five users have weighed in their opinion. No that much in both cases. Just let this run its course. There's no rush. Tvx1 23:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • CDRL102 - As seen here (Alexandra Quinn) One AFD closer closed one as Keep - Despite the outcome being fucking obvious it was sent to DRV because it was closed 17 hours earlier, After a discussion it was then reopened/relisted so even If I said "nope it's staying closed" TVX would've gone to DRV and they would've said reopen/relist anyway, Ofcourse had DRV not been a soft and quite honestly a fucking useless board I would've said nope but there we go. –Davey2010Talk 23:30, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Dude I actually close AFDs earlier then normal so I'd say I actually reduce the backlog, With all respect I'm not being sent to DRV where after a weeks discussion the AFD gets relisted for another week!, As much as I disagree with this bollocks I'd rather reopen than go through DRV which drags on for alot longer!. –Davey2010Talk 04:18, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whoa, I in no way meant to implicate that the fault was yours, my friend! As you can see by my comments, I find this to be equally ridiculous. I understand that you've got to follow the rules. I just wish nominator would simply drop it and get over it already. Twirlypen (talk) 04:52, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh damn sorry I thought you were unhappy with me sorry , Considering it's an obvious Keep I really don't know why the nom wanted to follow procedure as whether it's closed now or days later it's gonna be a keep!, Unfortunately my friend you get some editors like myself who follow WP:IAR and others who have to follow word by word of every policy here!, Just the way it goes unfortunately. –Davey2010Talk 05:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In an AfD there's no need to drop it and get over it, because there is a default length after it will end anyway. And besides, in the meantime someone one has stated it should be removed from article namespace. That's why an AfD should be allowed to run its course. To allow as many people as possible to weigh in their opinion. I really wish that some people wouldn't always be in such a rush. Tvx1 11:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I accepted this at AFC because it did have references and had some unique content that was not a duplicate of other articles. I did consider the 2010 AFD but that was really irrelevant, being so old. The other season articles were also created more than 17 months before the start, and 17 months is not really that long, so it now looks to be the time to ahve the article.

  • Referencing a Strategy Group agreement, a tyre tender that has already been offered, bids on said offer that have already been submitted, and event contracts that have already been signed isn't speculation. These things have all already happened. I kindly suggest you read the article before you comment on it. Under this argument, any article whose subject is beyond today's date should be deleted/moved to userspace - including the 2016 article. Twirly Pen (Speak up) 06:59, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On the surface, the article seems benign. But take a good look at the sources - the majority of the sources are ESPN press releases, with more than a few of Ms. Kimes' articles thrown in. A quick Google search finds very little to justify the subject's notability - her only claim to fame, it appears, is being hired to write an ESPN column. Winning a few obscure awards doesn't earn the subject notability. Plus, the original author is an SPA whose Wikipedia input appears to be writing about a circle of Brooklyn writer friends.

  • Keep. Successful investigative journalist who was the subject of in-depth coverage here, an influential player in the sports-business journalism world. Plus she was the recipient of so many journalism awards that if they were pinned to her chest, she'd topple over (see awards on wikipage).

  • Delete Per nominator. The NY Post article is a personnel announcement that borrowed everything from the ESPN press release on her hiring. I question how "influential" she is. I never heard of her or her awards. Capt. Milokan (talk) 20:39, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But the NY Post article was not a press release; it does not matter where the NY Post got the material as long as they're putting their editorial weight behind it. That, plus the numerous other awards and media attention clearly put her into the WP:GNG camp, since If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability.--Further, that you "never heard of her or her awards" is irrelevant.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:57, 25 July 2015 (UTC) There is another in-depth source here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, Tom, you're assertion that she is "influential" is wildly incorrect - where is your evidence to back that up? And Milokan is correct, the NY Post article is pretty much a cut-and-paste of the original press release that announced Ms. Kimes was being hired - that is immediately obvious when you compare the two. Any casual research into the so-called awards that Ms. Kimes won will show that these are not very meaningful achievements; some of the award announcements in this article come from the award providers' websites, a WP:RS problem. Also, the blog RiveterMagazine.com that did a Q&A with Ms. Kimes does not meet WP:RS requirements. As I originally stated, the article seems perfectly benign, but once you start picking it apart you realize that Ms. Kimes' sole claim to fame is being hired by ESPN - which falls under WP:BLP1E. And Adoil Descended (talk) 12:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense. Powerful reporting in major publications, numerous well-referenced awards, in-depth treatment by NY Post and Riveter Magazine (no it is not a "blog" as you assert but a magazine that sells subscriptions) -- all these easily meet the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:04, 27 July 2015 (UTC) Plus, And Adoil Descended, I trust that you have a good grip what constitutes reliable sources when you created this article on David W. Graves which has this as its only source.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Powerful reporting in major publications" is strictly your opinion. "Numerous well-referenced awards"- really, where is the news coverage of all of these so-called awards? "In-depth treatment by NY Post and Riveter Magazine" - no, the Post pretty much copied the ESPN press release and the Riveter interview was a blog posting. As for your hunting through my Wikipedia work in an effort make me look silly, all I can say is that your childish desire to belittle anyone who disagrees with you is noted.

Has anyone actually taken a good look at these awards? None of them are significant enough to warrant their own articles on Wikipedia - one editor here tried to erase the redlinks tied to them when I highlighted the obscurity of the prizes here. As for the awards, two are given out by local press groups - one in Atlantic City, the other in New York - and the Henry Luce Award appears to be an internal honor among employees of Time Warner publications. In the other awards, Ms. Kimes was among several dozen receiving honors; these award-churning groups seem to give trophies to everyone that shows up. None of her work to date has received standalone honors like the Pulitzer Prize. And Adoil Descended (talk) 22:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I looked at the awards before voicing an opinion, the awards confer notability, as does that fact that her job moves are covered as news.

Depression Quest[edit]

Depression Quest (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Following a discussion on Jimbo's talkpage, I'm submitting several articles loosely related to the Gamergate Controversy (i.e. Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, Fredrick Brennan, Depression Quest) to AfD. I submit these articles under the following rationale;

  1. Examining these articles' edit histories makes it clear that they were created in response to the Gamergate Controversy. It is not clear that the subjects of these articles would be notable outside their role in this single event. It is not clear the Gamergate Controversy would qualify as highly significant; thus, per WP:BLP1E, individual articles for these subjects may not be appropriate.
  2. The Gamergate Controversy article became subject of a significant Arbcom Case, which seemed to make it evident that a number of WP editors had become passionately concerned with the event, and some even felt personal affected by it. That said, we should remember that Notability is global. Things are notable if the "outside world" (i.e. not the world of Wikipedians) has taken note of it. The Gamergate Controversy and related articles have clearly been subject to far more attention on WP than would be warranted by coverage in reliable source. It seems likely these articles exist as a result of navel gazing rather than genuine notability.
  3. Finally, an argument based outside of policy; the amount of wikidrama surrounding this event and related articles seems unhealthy. For the benefit of WP as a whole, it may help to reduce the amount coverage given to these subjects.

As a personal post-script, I'd like to note that I'm not proposing these deletions out of misogynism or callousness towards alleged victims of cyberbullying. Misogyny and cyberbullying (including but not limited to doxing, death threats and/or threats of violence/injury) are pretty pathetic, lame and immature. That said, unfortunately misogyny and cyberbullying do exist, and we should be careful not to use WP as a soapbox to highlight individual examples of those practices which aren't covered by external sources.

Unfortunately, given the number of WP editors who have become personally involved/interested with the Gamergate Controversy, I seriously doubt all or any of these proposals will be succesful. To those editors with extensive history editing Gamergate articles, I'd ask you to try to dispassionately assess the proposed deletions by our notability guidelines.

I may propose more deletions using the rationales above, if I find more articles which appear to be created purely in response to Gamergate. NickCT (talk) 14:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep - I am full on against the notion to delete these articles. They're all properly sourced and have notability to them. I mean, God sakes. Depression Quest and Zoe Quinn were known before GamerGate. Frederick is pretty much 8chan's M00t. And while I will say GamerGate casted a spotlight on Wu, there's still enough info on her to warrant an article here on this site. I'm really getting tired of people wanting to delete articles or have an all out war on this site just because some people have differing opinions on GamerGate here. It's been almost a year since this whole thing started for crying out loud. GamerPro64 14:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @GamerPro64: - Tired of which people wanting to delete these articles? This is their first deletion request. And if they were known before GamerGate, why didn't they have articles before GamerGate? NickCT (talk) 14:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Zoe Quinn was nominated for deletion in June 2014 (pre GamerGate) and was kept; Brianna Wu was nominated in October 2014; Frederick Brennan was nominated in December 2014. TheZoe Quinn article was created in May 2014, months before GamerGate. - Bilby (talk) 14:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you nominated Depression Quest while its in the middle of a Good Article Nomination. While not uncommon, couldn't you have at least waited for the outcome on the nomination? GamerPro64 14:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bilby and GamerPro64: - Ok. I missed the earlier AfDs. Apologies. Re "TheZoe Quinn article was created in May 2014" - True. But if you look at the earliest revisions of her article they reference the harrassment that would become Gaergate. Her article was clearly created in response to the nascent Gamergate. NickCT (talk) 15:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The harassment that would become GamerGate? Starting from May 2014? Oh come on. I feel like you're grasping at straws at this point. GamerPro64 15:04, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@GamerPro64: - So you're saying that the harassment mentioned in Quinn's earliest revisions wasn't Gamergate? Could be. I'm really not that familiar with the controversy. But it strikes me as unusual that she would have been subject to multiple different events of harassment over the same thing. NickCT (talk) 15:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is probably better to think of it that some of the harassment Quinn has gotten from GG is continuation of harassment she got prior to GG as a result of releasing DQ; the harassment from GG built atop that with other factors (re claims from Gjoni's post) joining in. --MASEM (t)

        • They do meet Notability guidelines, easily: "extensive coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". That's why they haven't been deleted. Probably? You mean you nominated them without even you yourself being sure? Yet you are wasting our time here? What does WP:POINT mean to you? --GRuban (talk) 15:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Gruban: - Your argument is that you must be sure that articles don't meet notability guidelines before nominating? So all unsuccessful deletion are bad faith essentially? Seems like a high standard. I think AfD exists to test notability. NickCT (talk) 15:58, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No reason for deletion of a notable (shows NYT coverage)topic is given. If one feels the content in any article gives undue weight to anything, then the article talk page is the proper venue. Nominating multiple articles when one feels the case for deletion is weak is bootless. Collect (talk) 14:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Collect: - Did you look at those NYT articles? Almost all of them cover GamerGate as the primary topic. Seems to re-enforce the WP:BLP1E argument. NickCT (talk) 15:10, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, that does not mean this topic is BLP1E (I would point out that this article is about the game, thus must meet notability requirements as the game and BLP1E is very weak when dealing with an article about the game.) Collect (talk) 20:37, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All the other points I'd like to make have been done by other editors, so I'll just address the whole wikidrama angle: The vast majority of edit warring, topic bans, and drama in this topic area is centered on the Gamergate controversy article. These related articles for the most part don't attract that much drama, just the odd BLP smear every few months. Deleting these articles wouldn't cull the drama, because most of the time they are not where the drama comes from. Brustopher (talk) 15:00, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Brustopher: - Fair enough. But should we really be maintaining articles that were generated because of Wikidrama, even when those articles don't generate much drama themselves? NickCT (talk) 15:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @NickCT: As has already been pointed out, most of the articles you've nominated were created months before Gamergate began, by people who have subsequently had no involvement in this wikidrama. The one article created during the drama (Brennan) was largely written by GRuban: who I don't think has even touched the Gamergate article (correct me if wrong). It's clear you're trying to do a good thing here, but you don't seem to properly understand the issues you're trying to provide a solution for. Brustopher (talk) 15:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Brustopher: - Look at the earliest iterations of the Brennan article. It includes reference to Gamergate. I don't think it's a stretch to say that it might have been created in response to GamerGate. Certainly the timing of the creation would suggest that's the case. NickCT (talk) 16:02, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry Nick, I phrased my response poorly. The Brennan article was clearly created due to coverage resulting from Gamergate drama. However, it wasn't created as a result of Gamergate wikidrama, but instead by an established editor with no prior involvement (I think) in any Gamergate edit dispute.Brustopher (talk) 16:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Brustopher: - Ok. So my question is would there be an article on Brennan if there was no GG? And if not, doesn't that count as BLP1E? NickCT (talk) 16:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • My answers respectively are no and no. Brennan wouldn't meet GNG without coverage received as a result of gamergate, but he'd received some earlier coverage as a result of his disability.[17][18] There was an RfC on this and everything. Brustopher (talk) 16:22, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. -- While I am sympathetic in some ways to the goal of these multiple proposals (which I'll answer here to avoid redundancy), I don't like the fact that this strikes me as using Wikipedia policies and guidelines as a proxy an attempt to control Wikipedia 'culture' (with all the positives and negatives the term carries). BLP1E strikes me as inapplicable -- it does not demand that the event in question be "highly significant," merely "significant." 'Gamergate', as such, demanded coverage from many major sources, including the largest newspapers, websites, and television networks. This is the outside world notability we look for. Surely it meets the measure of 'sinificant,' even if I might agree it is not highly significant. Each of the individuals here had a significant role (as measured by the RS), and thus the third prong of WP:BLP1E is not met to my mind. The fact that the gamergate area has become the subject of such vituperation is definitely not a good thing. Perhaps there's an argument that for the good of the encyclopedia, these articles should be deleted. But if that is the case, let's have that debate. Don't cloak a providential suggestion about improving Wikipedia culture in a content guideline. You say the articles are subject to far more attention than is demanded by the coverage. I don't find policing others' Wikipedia interests particularly helpful. We all know editors who spend far more time on minor articles than is "warranted." I, for one, salute them. Imagine, if you will, a dystopian future wherein 99% of edits on Wikipedia are to Pigasus (politics). This would not in and of itself support the idea that Pigasus is not notable. I would urge the nominator to disentangle the two strands of thought, because I find the content argument very weak. Dumuzid (talk) 15:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and Boomerang. (edit conflict) Wikipedia has pages for minor porn stars, kiddie cartoon episodes, and obscure video games; Depression Quest isn't close to being the least well known game. Unlike, say, [My Little Pony,] (good grief!) Depression Quest received a good deal of coverage because it used a new medium to explore a social problem not often associated with games. Quinn has been the subject of major profiles -- see the big feature in Boston Magazine for one example. Wu has been widely interviewed and clearly passes GNG both as an advocate for women in computing and as a video game designer-entrepreneur. WP:BLP1E is in any case irrelevant because there is no event: "Gamergate" is the protracted conspiracy of misogynist harassment intended to drive women out of the computing industry by making these targets a stark example of the consequences to be faced by any woman who dares defy it. If editors have sought to defend Wikipedia from Gamergate’s malign designs, they deserve thanks. The massive and continuing influx of brigaded editors, zombie editors, sleepers and sock puppets who all seek to exploit Wikipedia to harass Gamergate’s victims and to improve Gamergate’s reputation is less praiseworthy. To say that Gamergate has not been sufficiently covered by sources outside Wikipedia could indeed suggest misogyny or callousness, and I'm glad the nominator cleared that up! MarkBernstein (talk) 15:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • re "the protracted conspiracy of misogynist harassment intended to drive women out of the computing industry" - hmmmmmm.... Ok. re "To say that Gamergate has not been sufficiently covered by sources outside Wikipedia" - Note, we're not proposing the actual Gamergate controversy article be deleted.

On “Notifications:” The nominator has been kind enough to notify several editors who participated at Jimbo’s talk page. The editors that were notified at 14:37-14:44 were Ryk72, JzG, DeCausa, Rich Farmbrough, Carrite, DHeyward, Darwinian Ape, Masem, and Chrisrus. Admins who are familiar with the area will recognize the names in this notification list, and within the hour two three of these editors had responded with the first two delete/merge opinions on the page. Participants who were not notified include NorthBySouthBaranof, DaveDial, Liz, and MarkBernstein. Admins who are familiar with the area will recognize these names, too. For my general fund of information, is this considered appropriate Wikipedia procedure? MarkBernstein (talk) 15:45, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the assumption of bad faith canvassing Mark. Also thanks for not addressing my point. I've notified Liz/North for the record. NickCT (talk) 15:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, AFTER you saw this. For the record, I wasn't notified either. And I also have made several comments on Jimbo's Tale page regarding these issues. You are disrupting the project to make a point, you know about the ArbCom case and the sanctions(case is listed on your delete proposal), and if anyone has earned a sanction lately(I have zero GG related articles on my Watchlist, and refuse to edit them), it's you. Dave Dial (talk) 16:00, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep DQ was notable under standard video game guidelines (it has development and reception information we require for such games) before GG happened (Several Google News hits before 7/31/2014). Simply being tied to GG doesn't change that, and arguably GG had little directly to impact the game itself, perhaps creating a focal point GG built out of, and if you take coverage of DQ that is beyond its ties to GG since it started ,its even gotten more reviews that I can see by non-normal VG outlets (like NYTimes). --MASEM (t) 15:20, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Masem: - Fair enough on the pre-GG coverage of DQ. I would note though that most of that coverage is not what you'd call "high quality" coverage. NickCT (talk) 15:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If we strictly discussed DQ as a video game and only as a video game (only bringing up Quinn's reasons for creating the game and not discussing any of the GG related aspects) it would still pass for a video game article given the typical sourcing available for video games. (There's a number of standard reviews, and there's even a WSJ article on it [19]); all predating GG by at least a year. Obviously the ties to GG enhance that notability. --MASEM (t) 15:37, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Masem: - The WSJ article is a mention. Not direct coverage. Anyways, I'll grant DQ is pretty "borderline". NickCT (talk) 15:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps though there's a para that has Quinn explaining positive feedback she's gotten - it definitely should be (if not already) used in the article. --MASEM (t) 15:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To add to my keep on DQ, I believe the three others (Wu, Quinn, and Brannen) all also are Keep. While I do firmly believe WP:BLP1E is important, all three show that they have notability beyond one event (being GG) - Wu for founding a dev company with a released game, Quinn for writing a notable game, and Brannen for his disabilities prior to 8chan formation. --MASEM (t) 15:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge relevant GG material to Gamergate controversy. Not notable outside that scope. --DHeyward (talk) 15:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong speedy keep: the bundling of these separate articles is ridiculous, for a start. Depression Quest strikes me as the least notable article, but even that has 18 reliable secondary sources. Fredrick Brennan is definitely notable for creating 8chan; Brianna Wu also seems very notable, with some references dating from before Gamergate even began. Zoe Quinn also has enough coverage from Gamergate-related articles alone to merit coverage; WP:BIO1E says "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." It's also worth noting that the reason for the article's creations is completely and utterly irrelevant; what matters is notability. If an attack page on a notable subject was created, we wouldn't count that against the article if it later developed into a well-rounded page. Susceptibility to vandalism is also irrelevant. I recommend a snow close; there's no need to have intrusive AfD notices on the top of several widely viewed pages. However, I'm sure the nomination was made in good faith and there's no evidence of pointed behaviour here. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 15:23, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bilorv: - Well thanks for recognizing this isn't a bad faith nomination at least. I think bundling was the right thing to do here, as I think all the articles should be considered under the same rationale. Not sure I get your point Re BIO1E. Are you saying GG is highly significant and Quinn's role in it was a large one? NickCT (talk) 15:32, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes. Gamergate controversy has 224 references—that alone isn't proof that it's significant, but I've picked several at random. They're all reliable and provide substantial coverage. Zoe Quinn was the original target and a victim throughout the entire event. GG is highly significant and Quinn is perhaps the most important person in it. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 15:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bilorv: - re "has 224 references" - Again, I think the spectacular number of reliable-ish references reflects the personal interest of a number of passionate WP editors rather than actual notability. If you look at the references themselves, a large majority some from online publications (e.g. Slate) or special interest publications (e.g. PC Gamer) rather than real mainstream, high-quality sources (e.g. NYT, AP, etc). NickCT (talk) 15:48, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • But no amount of interest in a subject can overcome a lack of notability. This is not a case of bomardment; yes, there are some special interest publications (not that there's anything wrong with that), but there is substantial high-profile coverage in that list of references. I don't understand your argument against "online publications"—that is not a bad thing. I have seen Slate sources used all over the place and never heard a single person object to them, especially not for the fact that it is available online. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 16:05, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bilorv: - To clarify, I'm not arguing that Slate is a bad source, I'm just arguing that it's not as high quality as a mainstream print media source. When the large majority of your references are to sources like Slate, I think it speaks to marginal notability. NickCT (talk) 16:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I strongly disagree. I've seen AfD'd articles survived on two or three online sources. We're dealing with articles that have a combined total of 91 sources here. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 16:20, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • I don't see any immediate bad faith here - follow the discussion at Jimbo's page (linked at top) to show that some did say that deletion policy does suggest sometimes remove of contentious articles is an appropriate action, and Nick was following through on that. And as not yet under any GG sanctions, it's hard to assume that this was a intentionally malicious action but one Nick felt would remove disruption from WP. Obviously I personally don't agree with removal but I don't read anything purposely malicious in the AFD nom here. --MASEM (t) 15:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose topic ban Nick made a good faith, if incredibly ill-informed, attempt to solve the dramafest that is Gamergate. He shouldn't be punished for it.

  • I am categorically against topic bans and the like in all but the most dire circumstances. That being said, anyone who cares to have a look at Talk:Zoe Quinn will see that NickCT and I had a long and (I thought) civil discussion on the merits of deleting the page per WP:BLP1E. I don't think that amounts to bad faith, but I do not believe that the thought of deleting these articles came from the discussion on Mr. Wales' talk page.

  • Keep with a few comments. I would say that Brianna Wu is closest to a BLP1E case, as she had no coverage prior to GG and essentially all of her initial coverage was related to that. But my guess is there's enough coverage of other things she's said and done in the interim that her article would pass WP:GNG on its own now. I could possibly see Depression Quest getting merged to Zoe Quinn, but she herself has gotten plenty of coverage, a good amount before GamerGate ever happened, specifically for that game, as well as some controversy around a game jam event that happened in early 2014. And if that were the case, a merge discussion could take place outside of AFD. In fact, I'd say starting with potential merge discussions would have been more fruitful and perceived as less of an attack. —Torchiest talkedits 16:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep - The idea that "the way to solve the GamerGate mess is to delete everything but one article on the GamerGate mess" has been around. Now it has been tried in practice. Clearly meets GNG, which is what we go by at AfD rather than holding normative debates about what should and what should not ideally exist. Carrite (talk) 16:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. Articles are kept or deleted because of their notability and other relevant content policies and guidelines, not because of drama within Wikipedia. Navelgazing would be writing articles about "the Wikipedia Gamergate drama" or similar, but these are real-world topics. At a glance, all these articles cover their subjects much beyond their involvement, if any, in Gamergate, so BLP1E is not an issue, and no argument is made that these topics fail basic notability.

    As an aside: I created the initial version of Brianna Wu after reading an article about her and deciding she sounded like an interesting figure; I don't remember whether Gamergate was already a thing at the time. For some reason, all versions prior to 22 October 2014‎ appear to have been suppressed, so I can't check. Can somebody with oversight access tell me why? I'm reasonably sure at least my initial version was BLP-compliant.  Sandstein  16:31, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's interesting for Wu (probably for Quinn too), is that before GG existed, she still was a founder of a studio with a notable game, but we would have likely never had a detailed article on her just because of that fact (she'd be a redirect to the studio if not to the game). But you add in GG, and then we got more articles on her non-GG parts of her career to be able to expand that out as well as discuss briefly her role in the event of note. The GG situation may have brought the attention but the attention is now there to justify an article on her. --MASEM (t) 16:46, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment
These are all reasonable candidates for deletion. I prefer to see them kept, even though they may be marginal, because it seems to me that they reduce drama. A well attested fact about Depression Quest (arguably the most non-notable entity here), probably belongs in the article, whereas in GamerGate (controversy) cries of WP:UNDUE would doubtless ring throughout the land.
There may be some mileage in merging Depression Quest => Zoe Quinn and merging Frederick Brennen => 8Chan. I don't think we can merge Brianna Wu to Revolution 60, but I wouldn't oppose it.

Not a notable street and no proper reliable independent sources. A search for sources just brings up trivial mentions about safety camera locations and businesses along the street.

It looks like a sort of link road skirting Colchester. Well, I did create an article on A4226 road. Scary thing is that A535 article was five years ago and only seems a few months back! I do think we should be aiming to get articles on as many of the redirected roads like that as possible. This particular one though as Ritchie says seems to be lacking sources. Aymatth2?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If it is notable, I suspect it's under another title, most likely "Ipswich Road, Colchester". It was the A12 (a really notable road full of ancient Britons, Romans, highwaymen, HGV overload and the infamous M11 link road protest) before the Colchester Bypass was built about 30 years ago. Perhaps there are some historic coaching inns or former sites of gallows where robbers met a sticky end? That'll save the article - but not under this title I think. I've had a go at pulling out some sources but when I'm delving through things like applications of traffic orders from 1969 I feel I'm either clutching at straws or barking up the wrong tree. Still, the "Ipswich Road at Colchester" angle seems to be the best way out of this, if at all. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:04, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously weaker end, but I think it meets requirements. I would argue that we should have articles on roads like this and would become a much richer resource if people expanded the redirects into missing articles. Obviously some are more notable than others though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm swapping to Keep and rename to Ipswich Road, Colchester (which I've done) - that reveals far more sources if you dig in the right place. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 07:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @DilJco: Please clarify the statement "is yet to win a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award". Is he currently nominated? If so, you would surely be able to find sources I assume. Or are you just making false claims to askew this discussion towards "keep"? -- Chamith (talk) 05:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChamithN: "is yet to win a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award" - doesn't necessarily mean that he is currently nominated (awaiting to be won - may win, may not win, will never win - uncertainty?). Definitely he is not currently nominated. If nominated in future (who knows) no assumptions, will be able to multiply sources exponentially. No intention of false claims to drag this discussion towards "keep". "Nawodya who is in Computer Industry is yet to win Computer Pioneer Award" doesn't necessarily mean Nawodaya is currently nominated. DilJco (talk) 05:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@DilJco: Of course you don't have to beg for anything. Did I imply something like that in my last comment? I don't think so. I was just merely debunking your theory which justifies even I can have a Wikipedia article claiming that "I'm going to win Turing Award so I'm notable enough". Which is just an unconfirmed speculation. Could you please provide some links to these "verifiable links" you are talking about? At least enough sources to prove that the subject satisfies WP:MUSICBIO? And please do mind that sources also have to be reliable -- Chamith (talk) 02:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - subject is very popular & notable in Sri Lankan culture (may be premature & not even heard in other communities)DilJco (talk) 05:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@DilJco: If the subject is popular among Sri Lankans then why even a simple Google search doesn't come up with any reliable local articles about him? Probably because he is not notable like other Sri Lankan artists such as BnS, Iraj, W. D. Amaradeva? -- Chamith (talk) 05:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@ChamithN: - subject doesn't have to be a BnS, Iraj, W. D. Amaradeva to be on Wikipedia with verifiable sources. None of those artists are no way near Michael Jackson if compared. It doesn't mean that those articles should be deleted or a volunteer can't create an article.DilJco (talk) 01:55, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Journey to the West (2016 film)[edit]

Journey to the West (2016 film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

People who voted "keep" in the previous discussion relied on one English-language source (that is actually hidden) to claim that the film has begun filming. Yet there is not a single source in Chinese to confirm this. China is a big country, where are they filming at? To give you a comparison, an upcoming film Monk Xuanzang (film) also dealing with the journey to the west (though more on the historical side) has a ton of sources in Chinese telling you the different places they are filming at, and many of these places are very desolate. Also where is the source that the director is Zhang Jinlai? In my first AFD nomination, I mentioned the film did not name its director, and soon enough someone added his name to the director field. Yet Zhang Jinlai is going on talk shows this month and does not mention at all that the film has begun filming. I understand there has been a press conference held by Zhang Jinlai about this film, but the same guy has been making announcements on the same film for over 10 years, I will show you:

It's amazing that after so many crying wolves, still someone believes in him. There is nothing different about last year's announcement, except 3D was mentioned, and the fact that Kris Wu with his m/billions of screaming teenage groupies showed up in the press conference. As in my previous nominations, I hold the opinion that the film has not begun filming (and I doubt it will ever), therefore it fails WP:NFF. Timmyshin (talk) 06:27, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Timmyshin: - I've placed a note at WT:FILM for more input. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 06:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IMO this is a rather straight-forward issue. We live in the social-media age, whether a major or even minor film has begun filming is very easy to determine if you know the language. If Zhang Jinlai is indeed the director as the page claims, how come his microblog (http://www.weibo.com/liuxiaolingtong) which he updates multiple times per day is showing that during the past week he went on talk shows, practiced calligraphy, met with friends, attended ceremonies as guests and made speeches — everything except anything to do with the film. BTW notice the corresponding Chinese page got moved to draftspace (zh:草稿:敢问路在何方) after some time in the main space (that I wasn't involved with). Timmyshin (talk) 07:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I went to verify from a Western source that Paramount was involved, and a Variety article from April 2015 notes that Paramount was "in advanced talks" to be involved, not that it was set to be. It lists Zhang as a returning actor, and it also notes that there is no director or screenwriter at the time of writing. The Wall Street Journal also has a report of the press conference. However, I cannot find anything to support that it is currently filming or that Zhang is the director. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 10:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for taking the time to actually research the topic before making comments. Timmyshin (talk) 21:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and close nomination - this should not have been nominated again so soon after it was kept. The production website status listing is NOT "hidden" but in the English version it's categorized under "G" (for the Chinese name) rather than "J" for the English name. —МандичкаYO 😜 11:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a clear instruction in the citation would be helpful, such as in Aki Toyosaki and the flash references? Just to be clear about where the information is in the source? I have no idea if it's the appropriate way to source, but ts more upfront about where re information is coming from. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 15:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why was it removed from the main page [25] then? As has been pointed out by User:Parasol, there are no reliable sources indicating a director has been named for the film. How can a film begin filming without a director? Timmyshin (talk) 18:08, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Zhang Jinlai the supposed director just wrote on his microblog (http://www.weibo.com/liuxiaolingtong) that the reason the film has not begun filming is he's waiting for Americans to come to China in mid-August to initiate talks, according to him the meeting will determine the filming date. The fact that people are still voting "keep" shows in my opinion, irresponsibility with regards to selecting reliable sources. Timmyshin (talk) 18:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I searched for sources before nominating but found this says 1820 foundation while this says 1890 and finally this says 1905; my further searches here, here, here, here and here (latter only has one article from 1991).

  • Keep - I added sources. The confusion over the date is because the founder began his business in 1890 in Lithuania, and then established it in 1905 in NYC when he immigrated. There's also this Brazilian article from 1996 [26], which I couldn't add to the article because it's only a photo of the paper, but it also supports GNG. —МандичкаYO 😜 12:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Has received independent coverage in independent sources:

Autarch (talk) 12:59, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • None of those sources writes about the Irish Skeptics Society. They just let somebody from the Irish Skeptics Society tell his story. The Banner talk 13:04, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That you did not spot the false link, shows that you did not even bother to read the sources, The Banner. Kraxler (talk) 16:32, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I love the fact that you immediately assume bad faith instead of assuming that I perhaps had looked at the sources given in the article. The Banner talk 00:55, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need to presume anything that is proven. The above intended, and now below correctly given, link is not in the article. You didn't bother to read any additional evidence, especially presented here at the AfD discussion. That's a fact. Not a presumption. Kraxler (talk) 14:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The struck out link was a mistake - it should have been this link: Skeptics alarmed by facile beliefs. It was probably due to a mistake in copying the URL and lack of proofreading on my part. My apologies to all.Autarch (talk) 00:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I thought that it was a mistake, and striking it was intended to call your attention to it. Thanks for adding the correct link. It is probably the most in-depth peice on the society, by the way, and goes a long way towards establishing notability. Kraxler (talk) 14:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable company because the only listed source is their website and my searches found nothing particularly good with the best being here, here and here.

  • Delete Says they were founded almost 20 years ago and have operations in numerous countries. They are probably notable in the purest sense of their size. However, given that the article has zero sources at all, it's all just original research that needs purging. If they are notable, hopefully someone will re-start the page at some point with proper sources.CorporateM (Talk) 17:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - My English POV found nothing good but considering she may have some Russian coverage, maybe Wikimandia can help here though I think it appears obvious there's no significant coverage. SwisterTwister talk 05:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - not finding significant coverage. This interview [27] is pretty good but we need more than one. This article [28] gives notability toward her non-profit, not really her. If Macovin can keep adding more than I will support keeping it, otherwise, maybe WP:TOOSOON. —МандичкаYO 😜 05:44, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
