Contested PROD. Concern appears to have been based on a request by the subject. In any case, he has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:56, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tornadoes of 2015[edit]

Tornadoes of 2015 (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)

It is 100% taken from Tornadoes of 2014 and has no content. I have no control over what to do with an article with other users' contributions, but at the moment at least, this article is of no use to the encyclopedia at all. I have made a not-so-great attempt at Draft:Tornadoes of 2015 to create something with some details, although I have deemed that it too is "definitely" not worthy of publication. There are undoubtedly going to be many people who oppose my suggestion just because you can "wait", but why leave an article that won't even help readers if they happen to stumble upon it? This isn't a tropical cyclone season article, so there are not seasonal forecasts, which is perhaps the only justification for having an article before at least the first few to several tornadoes form (the number of tornadoes necessary may vary). I am not saying this article should not exist at some point, but it certainly is not worthy of publication at the moment in my truthful opinion. The page may be recreated at some point, and links to this page may be retained, but at least until the subject actually exists, this article contains the kind of information that could just be stuck on the Tornado article. Dustin (talk) 18:35, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another idea would be to redirect the page to a section of Tornado which will contain a general summary, and at some point, someone can either create an article at the redirect or request an article be moved over it (I've created a draft, but like I said, it too will be pretty much useless until the first tornadoes have occurred). Deleting the article won't result in any users having wasted any significant amount of time, as that is as simple as a copy and paste, so redirecting might be a good idea. Dustin (talk) 18:49, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I still stand in saying this article should not have been created so early. Even though it is always pretty much certain that a tornado will form each year, this article never had any hope for any content for at least its first ten days. It would have been preferable that I had nominated it then. This article is currently of very low quality in my opinion, and it could have done better had it been started as a draft then published a week or two into the New Year, but this is clearly futile. I should have brought up this issue when the article was created. Regardless, in the future, I do not think this sort of article should ever be created without at least a few unique details (that is, something other than the first paragraph which applies to pretty much every year). All creating tornado season articles this early can do is leave readers with articles that don't actually educate them about the subject. Dustin (talk) 00:39, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep – There is no reason to delete this, as at least one tornado has been reported today in Mississippi. Just fix the page's problems and start from there. It would be a dumb idea to delete it just so it can be recreated in a few days. United States Man (talk) 20:56, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Did you consider my logic at all? You hardly deserve to contribute if you do nothing other than read the header, which is how it appears. Dustin (talk) 20:59, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is the same procedure that is done repeatedly year after year. You are doing nothing but creating an unnecessary fuss. I'm not going to argue, but this has no good reason to be moved, deleted, or redirect, only to be moved back in a few days. Just leave it. United States Man (talk) 21:12, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I'm not sure why this article was sent to AFD. There were several tornadoes across Mississippi and Alabama this afternoon, and we should expect to see survey results for those tornadoes sometime tomorrow. Those results will be added to the page accordingly. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 02:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, there weren't any tornadoes when I first attempted to list this article as of my earliest check. That may have changed, but all of those tornadoes would have been today, so there at least weren't any before that. Dustin (talk) 03:11, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
By the same rationale you should be running around Wikipedia and AfD'ing existing list articles for 2015 television episodes in which the first has yet to air. I recommend starting with Game of Thrones (season 5).--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 03:54, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Evidently, you didn't fully consider what I said. No tornadoes had formed at the time of this AfD. Game of Thrones (season 5) actually has known information about it, whereas Tornadoes of 2015 was an entirely generic, useless stub with no information that couldn't be applied to every other year at the time of the AfD. Dustin (talk) 04:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Even now, it is mostly non-unique. "This page documents the tornadoes and tornado outbreaks of 2015. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, Bangladesh, and Eastern India, but they can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also appear regularly in neighboring southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer season, and somewhat regularly in Europe, Asia, and Australia." That information applies to every other year, but with "2015" changed to the respective year. Dustin (talk) 04:05, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The chances of tornado formation in 2015 were an easily-predictable 100%.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 05:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say they weren't. By that logic, we should start Tornadoes of 2016 and we may as well start Tornadoes of 2017 too while we're at it. Dustin (talk) 06:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You nominated three days into the new year, not really an analogy to those far-off-in-the-distance examples. Now that the tornadoes are already being reported, this should be withdrawn.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 06:36, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • SNOW Keep - I'm a great believer in deleting things created way WP:TOOSOON. We shouldn't be crystal ball gazing to predict the future with articles about things that haven't happened yet. That said, this article was created 8 days before 2015 about things almost guaranteed to happen in 2015 and it was nominated for deletion only a few days into 2015. I understand the nominator's point but we allow things like 2016 Summer Olympics to be created well in advance because while Olympics have been cancelled in the past, there's a pretty good chance that one will happen. In fact, we have 2020 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics too. By comparison, the chances of a single tornado forming in 2015 are very good; a "sure thing" in betting terms.

The result was delete and redirect to Paris Hilton. (For those interested, there appear to be a number of fragrance sources in the main article, so Paris Hilton fragrances may be a good idea, though the individual fragrance articles do not have sources to merge.) czar  16:38, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating these following articles because they read almost like a WP:PROMOTION and there is nothing special about these specific fragrances except the fact that they are released under a famous celebrity. JayJayWhat did I do? 17:35, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Not sure if there is enough written to justify separate articles for each fragrance (currently 17), but her approx. $2 billion (over ten years) branded fragrance business is written about extensively in the fashion industry. See, e.g., Paris Hilton: Building an Empire from Women's Wear Daily, so the general topic satisfies GNG. Perhaps a merge to something like Paris Hilton fragrances might be in order. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Borderline notability, does not seem to meet any of the criteria in WP:NACTOR for inclusion. She has a recurring role in one television shows (not multiple shows as required), no significant roles in notable films. The existence of a fansite doesn't automatically suggest a large fan base.

Shina Animashaun[edit]

Shina Animashaun "(born 19 March 1993), is an illustrator and British philanthropist." As philanthropists are more often over 50 than under 25, this is intriguing; sadly, it's not sourced. He's the grandson of a somebody (unsourced); he "became a scholar of the Inner Temple in March 2013" (sourced).

He "opened a school which he co-founded in Stratford, London called the East London Arts and Music". As I type this, East London Arts and Music doesn't have an article here. (Two schools called ELAM do, but they're different.) The page "About ELAM" says that ELAM was "founded by a small group of leading figures from industry and education"; it names two of these, and neither of the two is Animashaun.

Yes, there's a reference to the Guardian and another to the BBC. But this isn't significant sourcing: neither web page even mentions Animashaun.

Subject had an article on the basis that he was the CEO of a NASDAQ-listed company, but he has now resigned and I do not believe that this makes him notable. Shritwod (talk) 17:22, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep He still has his awards, and he's still the founder of the company. This article was AfD'd here, and the result was speedy keep. That was just a week ago. (However, I'd like to know why he resigned, and whether it had anything to do with issues raised on Talk:NQ Mobile.) – Margin1522 (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the result was speedy keep in part because I withdrew it, due to a concensus that as CEO he was notable. Now, he is an engineer and businessman with some awards, rather than an NYSE-listed company CEO. Shritwod (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I didn't mention that you were the nom there too. Um, it's not unusual for founders of tech ventures to move on when the company reaches a certain size. Currently I'm arguing at WP:Articles for deletion/Larry Bock that the founder of the company with 70% of the market for genome-sequencing machines is notable, even though he has gone on to other things. It seems like the same deal here. If NQ Mobile is notable then he is too. – Margin1522 (talk) 11:50, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Having a flick through some of the other NYSE-listed companies, not all mention their founder, so I don't think that it is strictly necessary. But you raise an interesting question about whether NQ Mobile is notable in itself. It looks like only 1515 / 2800 NYSE-listed companies have an entry. What is the criteria for having an entry? Shritwod (talk) 19:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good question. I have no idea whether NQ Mobile is notable or not. I was kind of hoping that John Nagle would weigh in here. – Margin1522 (talk) 21:24, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. There is a very credible claim that this is a notable legal proceeding, whatever further development the article may need. At a minimum, it is uncontroverted that it is supported by reliable sources and relevant to a notable topic, making this at most a candidate for merger and not for deletion per WP:ATD. The rampant (and barely coherent) WP:SOCKpuppetry and/or WP:MEATpuppetry does not sway that determination, and their ironic appeals to "Wikipedia policy" or the credibility of Wikipedia as an information source should provoke some self-reflection as to how attempts to votestack a discussion threaten those principles. I suggest interested editors keep a close watch on this and the parent company articles. postdlf (talk) 16:12, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is completely promotional page. Somebody is violating Wikipedia policy. When already a Sahara India Pariwar page is existing then whats the use of creating an another page with the same name. Also, if we check out the media links that have been used as a reference to this page clearly states that the issue is with subrata roy or the other companies of sahara group. Then why sahara india pariwar name has been involved. Also, it seems to be like a news page rather than wiki page. Not only this if a new user will read this page then he/she will get confuse for sure. It is not at all a useful article rather it seems to be like a news page. So, kindly remove it.

  • A case decided by the Supreme Court of India will be notable both by reason of satisfying criteria 1 (because it is the highest court) of, and also by reason of satisfying criteria 2 (because, by the Constitution, its decisions are binding: [1]) of, WP:CASES. James500 (talk) 02:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Agree with @James500:. As per Wikipedia's notability criteria for cases that has been brought under the highest court in a legal jurisdiction is considered to be notable. — CutestPenguinHangout 12:19, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Disagree with @James500: As its an ongoing case and no judgement has been passed yet against Sahara India Pariwar. Also, I would like to clear here that wikipedia is not a newspaper/article/blog so until this issue comes to an end we cannot make any kind of judgement by our own this is against constituion. Why we post content on Wikipedia and why people serve it for any information because its a most reliable source on internet. And hence until the final judgement comes from the court side we cannot create any kind of page. There are millions of legal issues brought under many highest court's but not all have been highlighted on Wikipedia although all were more important or major than this sahara india pariwar investor fraud case. We use wiki pages to learn something but here this page includes very limited information about this issue that is again against constitution. This page is giving wrong message/information to people. Yes, this page is talking about facts but incomplete facts. So, currently deletion of this page is more important. There are a lot of mysteries in this case and hence currently there is no use of this page. But, yes once this issue comes to an end then according to it the page can be created but not now. Although already there is an existing page of Sahara India Pariwar and for a reference we can write over there about this issue but creating a new page that is not at all notable is of no use at all. The issue is still pending in court and daily some new stories are appearing in this case. Deletion is important for this case.ramesh985 (talk)(UTC) Ramesh985 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete - Even if we went by WP:CASES, which is a failed proposal, this is not a case for which the highest court has rendered an opinion (WP:TOOSOON). As of now it's mainly an WP:UNDUE news story about one party failing to show. The name "Sahara India Pariwar investor fraud case" returns almost entirely Wikipedia-derived ghits. Also problems with various aspects of WP:NOT. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:53, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - Struck my !vote until we can figure out what's going on here.

      • "Failed proposal" is not a particularly compelling argument. NJOURNALS is also a failed proposal, but it is constantly cited at AfD and used as a grounds for keeping articles with almost no opposition. I think there is a rough consensus in favour of criteria 2 of CASES. IIRC, most of the opposition was directed at criteria 1, because it was felt the expression "highest court" was ambiguous and capable of referring to an intermediate appellate court from which there is no appeal in respect of a particular type of cause, which is not what was intended by the author of the guideline. In any event, the supreme court isn't an intermediate appellate court. It really is the highest court. Much of the opposition wasn't even directed at CASES: It was directed at COURTS or JUDGES (often whilst supporting CASES), or the fact that NLAW only covered a narrow part of its subject, saying nothing about any legal topic other than courts, judges and cases (again often whilst supporting CASES in of itself). In fact, much of the criticism was that NLAW was so conservative as to be completely redundant to GNG, in that anything that satisfied NLAW was absolutely certain to satisfy GNG anyway. So I think there was precious little opposition to criteria 2 (or the intended effect of criteria 1) and it has indeed been followed in quite a few AfDs, so there is precedent for its deployment. Perhaps this could be regarded as invoking WP:IAR, which is policy. CASES also has the advantage of being common sense, since binding precedents are generally important and tend to receive coverage because they create (retroactive) law. James500 (talk) 08:11, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • If "Sahara India Pariwar investor fraud case" produces few results that is entirely unsuprising because it is clearly not the name of a case (ie it is a description) and it is a very narrow (ie obviously useless) search term. James500 (talk) 10:21, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I could be wrong, but the impression that I get is that this article could actually be about a number of related cases decided by the Supreme Court, each of which satisfies CASES and GNG: Subrata Roy Sahara v Union of India and Sebi v Sahara India Real Estate Corpn Ltd (possibly several decisions on different dates for this last one). James500 (talk) 10:57, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • DELETE - Issue is still pending in the court. Looks like a newspaper that is promoting the issue. No matter sahara india pariwar or supreme court or sebi are notable but doesn't meet WIKIPEDIA POLICY. Talk about facts instead of promoting SUPREME COURT/SEBI/SAHARA INDIA PARIWAR. Why to create nuisance everywhere when the case is still under process. Wikipedia is not a newspaper but this article seems to be as a newspaper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kratipaw34 (talkcontribs) 07:29, 6 January 2015 (UTC) Kratipaw34 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Strong keep The sources for this article are impeccable; I see Yahoo, The Hindu and The Times of India have run detailed articles on this case. Those certainly make the case for notability by themselves. I can see no argument whatsoever to simply delete this content given the strength of coverage presented. Dolescum (talk) 19:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete Agree with @Qwerty0963. The page is completely promotional. Yes, reliable sources like Yahoo, The Hindu etc. are used being used over here but why are we not writing it in an existing Wikipedia page "Sahara India Pariwar". Whats the use of creating an another page of it. Although if we go through the sources then the issue is still pending in the court. Wikipedia is not a newspaper that we keep on updating the news in it as it happens. Delete this page and create it once this issue comes to an end. If check its sources then before sahara group was wrong and later it came into media that sebi was wrong. Now, again its being seen in media (that has not been mentioned over here) that subrata roy is wrong. We are here to show an article on Wikipedia so don't make it a newspaper or news channel. This way we are passing incomplete information to the people. There must be a right time to show something on Wikipedia. And this way we are promoting sebi sahara India pariwar without knowing the actual scenario of the case. The page is completely promotional. jolly.smith 111:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC) Jolly.smith (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Wikipedia may not be a newspaper but it certainly documents notable news items. Take note that the main page has a section on it titled 'In the news'. If the information presented is incorrect, then you can easily correct it yourself to match that given in the sources. If you simply dislike what is presented in the sources..well, tough, wikipedia is not censored.
Furthermore, there are numerous precedents for splitting an article into a number of more specific sub articles to keep the sizes manageable, see WP:SIZE.
Finally, if you feel that the content should be resident in the main article on Sahara India Pariwar, that is your opinion, but that is an argument to Merge, not Delete. Dolescum (talk) 07:07, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, Wikipedia is not a newspaper and if you read this Wikipedia page then it completely looks like a newspaper. Yes supreme court sahara india pariwar are notable but at least let this issue come to an end. Then we can create it show it online. If we check out this page then it looks like as if we are seeing a news channel this is not Wikipedia's policy. Even I don't want this page to be merged with sahara india pariwar as the issue is not with sahara india pariwar its with subrata roy and other companies of sahara group. No matter if we create this page as the issue is very big but there must be a time of showing such things online. Its completely violating Wikipedia's policy and just on one thing that its notable we cannot confuse the other users of wikipedia. Why we create a wikipedia page? There must a usage of it then only we create a page but here whats the usage of incomplete information. And if somebody wants this page to be here then kindly update it accordingly as if we compare this page's information with the current scenario of this issue then a lot of facts will be missing from it. There must be a point of showing anything online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jolly.smith (talkcontribs) 11:47, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The articles here aren't static documents and to reiterate, we do document major news items. For example, go take a look at our article on the Charlie Hebdo shooting for an example of an article taking shape as a major news story unfolds. If it's notable, Wikipedia exists to document it.
As I said earlier, if you think something is missing from the article and you have trustworthy evidence to demonstrate such, that's what the edit button is for. Dolescum (talk) 12:57, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Charlie Hebdo Shooting page can be made as this incident is facts based and notable too that has already been done. It has been shown on live CCTV camera too so there is no chance of any decision or confusion in it. And here there is no chance of deniability also. But if we talk about this page then here every next day new twists are appearing. Even the Supreme Court themselves are unable to reach to an end. Sometimes, sebi becomes wrong and sometimes subrata roy. And yes, I can make the changes in it as per the issue's updation on Media but what if later the scenario becomes different. Because here in this case since last 2 years daily the new updates are being made that are totally different from the previous one. Even the Supreme Court is unable to decide that who is wrong either sebi or supreme court. Also, subrata roy is not being imprisoned on the reason that he cheated investors although he has been taken into custody as he was unable to attend the court hearing due to the illness of his 92 years old mother. And if today also he is in jail that is because supreme court has asked him for Rs 10,000 crore for his bail. Then why to make other's confuse by just writing "sahara India pariwar fraud case". Let the issue comes to an end and then we can create the page. Also, again and again I am saying that the issue is not with sahara India pariwar its with subrata roy. The information is wrong over here. Last but not the least I would like to say that lets create this page once the supreme court makes the final judgement. Right now there is no use of keeping this page as a lot of facts are missing in it and still if we keep on updating the upcoming issues in it then at various places we might require to remove/delete many factual things. So, right now its better we delete this page instead of making people confuse all the time. User:jolly.smith 11:00, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a variant spelling of mu, as you can see from this and this. (No, neither source is Cardarelli.) The mu is the basic Chinese unit of land, still commonly used today. In both pinyin and Wade-Giles, this word is spelled "mu." In Hong Kong spelling, it is meu and in Jyutping it is moe. So meou some kind of older, non-systematic variant.

      The article notes:

      Austin Madaisky learned how to use a meat thermometer last week.

      The Kamloops Blazers defenceman also found out that he has made awfully good progress from the broken neck that ended his 2010-11 WHL season.

      Madaisky, a 19-year-old from Surrey, spent the week at the Columbus Blue Jackets' development camp. He was a fifth-round selection, 124th overall, in the NHL's 2010 draft.

    2. Drinnan, Gregg (2012-10-25). "Madaisky anxious to play". The Kamloops Daily News. Archived from the original on 2015-01-05. Retrieved 2015-01-05.

      The article notes:

      Madaisky, 20, is eligible to return to the Blazers, but is under contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Falcons' NHL parent. He is one of 10 defencemen on the Falcons' roster, and has been a healthy scratch for the regular season's first four games.

      ...

      A fifth-round selection by Columbus in the NHL's 2010 draft, Madaisky said that, other than not playing, he has enjoyed his first extended professional experience.

      "It's been good," he said. "We've been doing a lot. I'm usually in the gym and skating every day. I've been doing a lot of extra skating because I haven't been playing. Overall, that's been good so far."

      Before leaving for Springfield, Madaisky was in camp with the Blazers, who acquired him from the Calgary Hitmen during the 2009-10 season. So he has more than a passing interest in the run the Blazers have put together.

    3. Drinnan, Gregg (2012-03-27). "Blazers' Madaisky suspended for two games". The Kamloops Daily News. Archived from the original on 2015-01-05. Retrieved 2015-01-05.

      The article notes:

      Madaisky, 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, added that he "was definitely surprised to get two games." But he had been forewarned by head coach Guy Charron and associate coach Dave Hunchak.

      "I was told to expect something," Madaisky said. "I was told to expect one, maybe two, and it happened to be two."

      Madaisky, who turned 20 on Jan. 30, said he was disappointed with the league's decision.

      "Especially at this time of year," he said. "It's never fun sitting out. You kind of feel like you're letting the team down by not being in the lineup. Hopefully, we're a deep enough squad that we have guys who are able to come into the lineup and do a good job."

      Madaisky played quite well in the first two games, picking up three assists and going plus-4. He and Tyler Hansen have been used in a shutdown role for much of the season, playing against the opposition's best offensive line. Madaisky also plays a point on the first power-play unit and kills penalties.

      The article notes:

      Austin Madaisky won't ever forget Tuesday night in Winnipeg.

      Madaisky, a 19-year-old defenceman, was in the Columbus Blue Jackets' lineup for the return of the Jets to Winnipeg.

      ...

      This also was Madaisky's NHL debut and, he said, it was something he never will forget.

      "Even just flying out there in the team plane and things like that . . . it was just a hell of an experience," he said.

      Madaisky, who watched the Blue Jackets beat the visiting Washington Capitals 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday night, was a fifth-round pick by Columbus in the NHL's 2010 draft. This was his second NHL training camp, although he has yet to sign an NHL contract. Still, he doesn't feel that he did anything to hurt his chances.

      The article notes:

      Austin Madaisky was in another world when he heard he’d been selected in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

      Seriously.

      The 18-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ defenceman was on a family vacation on Mexico’s Mayan Riviera last week.

      ...

      “I was following the draft on the computer,” he said.

      “The names came up on a little ticker on the screen.

      “And, actually, my computer crashed in about the fourth round, so I didn’t even know until everybody started texting me.”

      What Madaisky missed was his own name ticking across the monitor, announcing that he’d been selected in the fifth round, 124th overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

    The source says:

    Madaisky has signed a three-year contract with the Blue Jackets, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL draft. So it is the Blue Jackets who, to a large extent, are calling the shots.

    That's why he has played in just one of the Blazers' four exhibition games to this point, and why he isn't likely to play Friday when Kamloops (4-0) closes out its preseason against the Prince George Cougars (3-1) at Interior Savings Centre.

    Because the subject played an exhibition game for the NHL team Columbus Blue Jackets, he passes WP:NHOCKEY.

    The article notes:

    Madaisky, a 19-year-old defenceman, was in the Columbus Blue Jackets' lineup for the return of the Jets to Winnipeg.

    ...

    This was the Jets' first NHL appearance in Winnipeg since a playoff game on April 28, 1996, after which the franchise moved to Phoenix.

    Madaisky said the Jets, who won 6-1, were kind of pumped for this one.

    ...

    This also was Madaisky's NHL debut and, he said, it was something he never will forget.

    "Even just flying out there in the team plane and things like that . . . it was just a hell of an experience," he said.

    Madaisky, who watched the Blue Jackets beat the visiting Washington Capitals 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday night, was a fifth-round pick by Columbus in the NHL's 2010 draft. This was his second NHL training camp, although he has yet to sign an NHL contract. Still, he doesn't feel that he did anything to hurt his chances.

    "I thought I held my own," he said of the game, in which he played 11 minutes 16 seconds and finished minus-1. "It's probably the fastest hockey I've ever played. Everything happens a lot quicker out there.

    Like most junior players who get to play in the NHL, Madaisky quickly learned that play is far more structured there than in the WHL.

  • You should read a little lower in the Wikipedia article that you keep citing which clearly states:
"Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability:
Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, paid material, autobiography, and product placement are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter."

Biography of a politician and writer, making no strong claim of notability for either endeavour. His political career mostly boils down to unsuccessful candidacies for political office, as well as a term on the municipal council of a suburban borough which is not in the narrow range of global cities whose municipal councillors are granted an automatic WP:NPOL pass. The municipal council work, further, is summarized "won in 1976 and then lost in 1980", with no content about anything he actually did in that office (it actually says more about his successor's term on council than it does about his) — so his failure to satisfy NPOL is not counterbalanced by enough content or sourcing to claim WP:GNG instead. And his work as a writer is referenced entirely to WP:PRIMARYSOURCES — the "source" for his book is the book's own publication details rather than any media coverage, the "source" for his work as a newspaper publisher is the newspaper he was the publisher of, and on and so forth — with no evidence that he garnered any independent coverage or passed WP:CREATIVE for any of it. And beyond that, we're left with some genealogy coatracking about a few semi-notable ancestors and a son, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED either. It might be possible to write a substantive and well-sourced article about him, so no prejudice against recreation in the future if that actually happens — but as currently written, this is little more than a generic obituary which doesn't demonstrate that the subject belongs in an encyclopedia.

I do not think that inheritance of Toronto being a world-class city is transferable to council members of the (former) suburban cities of Toronto.

  • Keep - here's case where rigid application of the rules gets in the way of building a better encyclopedia. Here we have a well-sourced article about someone who has several accomplishments that together make this article worth keeping -- city councillor, federal candidate, fringe mayoral candidate, published author. Wikipedia would not be improved by deleting this article. Ground Zero | t 11:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Heisey Sr. published a book challenging nationalism and was a commentator on nationalism in Canadian mainstream media. Wikipedia entry for Canadian Nationalism provides a "further reading" list to which I have added his book. The list does not offer other examples of works criticizing Canadian Nationalism and advocating trade liberalization contemporary to their time. Being a proponent of that view, at that time, is what makes this subject notable.FlettIan (talk) 16:31, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article establishes the notability of the man as an author with a number of contemporary, independent and reliable sources, some of them scholarly.

Additionally, the source was Soompi and it was merely an announcement of an unconfirmed event. Did it happen? Was it covered in the media? Who knows.

Please do not delete the page at all. There is a difference in Kabilan and Kabilan Vairamuthu. For years together there hasn't been an article on the older Kabilan. The above provided links are true. There has always been a confusion over linking the name of Kabilan on the soundtrack pages. I have briefly worked on recent Tamil soundtrack articles with other Wikipedia users and often this confusion had arisen. One can see the proof on I's soundtrack page which is clearly an edit to avoid this confusion.

Procedural nomination. This was an AFC draft declined long ago by User:Alexrexpvt due to concerns about notability, though User:DGG indicated that the author might be notable because his work was included in a major anthology. I moved the draft to mainspace and am nominating for deletion, which will hopefully attract more knowledgeable editors. I personally am leaning toward a weak delete, given that this Chinese author has lived in Toronto since 1999, and one would expect there to be more news articles about him in the English-language press since then if he were notable. Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:32, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The criterion for short story writers has generally been inclusion in a major anthology. Whether there will be stories in the english language press would depend upon whether he writes in Chinese or in English, and that is not clear from the article. Unfortunate the article here is mainly a copy of this external reference, though it could be argued that the list of works does not have the originality to come under copyright.

  • I've moved it to Chuan Sha, since that's the name given in the article and the filename of the photo. It's also the name used on his blog. Leaning to keep, since Language for a New Century is a major anthology and one of his poems is in it. It isn't easy to find relevant stuff on Google because his name is a homonym of a suburb of Shanghai. I wouldn't expect coverage of him in the English-language press, because he doesn't write in English.

  • Comment: The sources I've found establish the subject as a real poet, dramatist and novelist active in the Chinese community in Toronto, but fall short of establishing that he meets the notability guideline for creative professionals. As things stand, the decision would seem to hinge on the assertion made by DGG above that inclusion in a major anthology can be taken to establish notability. If this is a good rule of thumb, the article should be kept. If not, do we just keep relisting until somebody with sufficient Chinese turns up to comment? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 10:11, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't 'a few seconds', his total amount of TV coverage was a lot more than that. He was a guest on Telewizja Polska, multiple times. Here's the first clip (7 minutes 13 seconds), from 19 June 2013: [4]. And here's the second clip (7 minutes 57 seconds), from 9 September 2014: [5].

This is another proof you don't really check the sources I provide. The first and the second YouTube link are not copyright violations, they are on official TVP channels. While they may be not suitable to be used as sources on Wikipedia, that rule doesn't change the fact that Wardęga appeared numerous times on television - which is not his only achievement (more than 100 milion views of MGSD; MGSD being the most popular YT video of 2014).

  • True, but this article reads like an advertisement. And that is why I nominated it, not the length or being poorly written. Just plain advertising. The Banner talk 11:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry my previous remark was addressed @Aerospeed:. To answer your point, the article does not strike my as advertising. Can you specify where the article does not comply with Neutral Point of View NPOV?
Why didn't you tag as such WP:ARTSPAM if this is your main criterion for deletion? This could also be a helpful step. Note also though that if the article content is notable, changing the article to a Neutral Point of View is preferable to delete WP:G11. As per my prior references and arguments I believe the subject is notable and does pass WP:GNG although barely, and so I would suggest there is no valid argument for deletion. Thanks.

  • Keep for now or userfy. I have not reviewed the subject of this article at all, however I want to point out that the primary author is a new editor who only joined on September 2014 and he already has a bunch of deletion nominations on unrelated article. Based on the wide varied subjects he edits per Xtools, he's clearly independent of those companies he's written about. I mean, wow! He's hardly two months old and has already contributed to over 300 unique pages. In order to avoid discouraging him as per WP:Bite, we should not delete his contributions lightly and instead kindly point out that he should be reviewing the notability guidelines. He may even voluntarily userfy those pages outside of AfD. I'd be open to revisiting this article in AfD in a few months.

  • This should not be deleted. The term appears in hundreds of books in GBooks. Deacon and Starkie, for example, appear to suggest that it was a term of art in English law including indictment, presentment, information, inquisition and verdict. If this is the parent topic of five notable topics, it will itself be notable. At the very least this expression should be redirected as it is an obvious synonym for charge or complaint, which are definitely real. And I am far more interested in what is said by real law books written by experts than in what mere dictionaries have to say. James500 (talk) 10:25, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - appeared indeed in hundreds of Gbooks etc. --BabbaQ (talk) 10:59, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Criminal Trial in Later Medieval England has a detailed history of the matter. A variety of technical terms are used in this such as presentment (which seems to need an article too, and I'll start one) but criminal accusation is the phrase used for the general concept. As legal jargon varies from place to place and time to time, we should prefer a summary in plain English for the general reader. Andrew D. (talk) 11:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having read through the first 10 pages of search on GBooks, criminal accusation is hardly a parent topic for indictment, presentment, information etc. It is, at very best (based on one source), a vestigial term of art that no longer has use or bearing in the common law system of the UK and absolutely no presence in US jurisprudence. Aside from The Criminal Trial in Later Medieval England (where the term is used twice in total), the term is used as a general catch all. If the community feels the article should be kept, I propose that it be merged into one of the accepted terms- Indictment seems the most likely. A 'Historical Context' heading and brief discussion would suffice.WookieeV (talk) 17:27, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least two treatises say the expression is an umbrella term used in England at that time for indictment, presentment, information, inquisition and verdict. Unless you can find a source that contradicts them, or casts doubt on their reliability, we are going to accept that what they say is true. This source has the term being used in an almost identical sense in the United States as recently the 1970s, probably derived from the English usage. This source has the term as a synonym for charge, will preclude deletion as a plausible redirect. A merge to indictment would be innapropriate as this term is broader than that one. If we were going to merge this, it would be to an even broader topic, possibly to an article on criminal procedure in general. Looking through the first ten pages of results is not enough. You need to look at all of them (WP:BEFORE). James500 (talk) 01:38, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first source you linked has criminal accusation under the indictment meta-heading and as a direct result of indictment; further supporting the merger into Indictment. Paralegal Studies: An Introduction also lists criminal accusation as a result of formal indictment. The synonym for charge, I agree with you completely, does preclude deletion. Thank you for finding that. Perhaps that is the best place for it, redirection to information (formal criminal charge). I guess my real issue with this term/article is that it's extremely amorphous- we aren't finding anything that actually lays out what it is. It's circular: ″a criminal accusation is an accusation that is criminal″... well, gee, that tells us a whole lot. Whereas inclusion as a historical reference point for the current process of indictment and charging of a crime makes it relevant and, more importantly, accurate. So, I am agreeing that it potentially needs to be merged into the big article on Crim Pro. In US law, the 6th amendment makes a reference to an accusation, in fact it is included as part of the phrase on information. This is the basis for our current system of indictment and information. But that's US centric and not of general significance on its own. WookieeV (talk) 03:00, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Summary of American Law" does not put criminal accusation under a heading of indictment, it puts it under a heading of "indictment and information" and says that an information is a criminal accusation. This does not support merger into Indictment, because an information is not an indictment. "Paralegal Studies" does not say that an indictment is the only type of criminal accusation, and is obviously about the United States, so it can't contradict the books by Deacon and Starkie so far as they relate to England. A redirect to our article on criminal informations has the same problems as a redirect to our article on indictments, as it excludes other things that are said to be criminal accusations. In any event, if we follow the "American Dictionary of Criminal Justice", the logical target would be Criminal charge, that being the term defined as a criminal accusation. We have several sources giving us lists of things that are criminal accusations, and, in a sense, those are definitions. Legal terms are often amorphous because they are regularly redefined, because the law changes over time, and changes in different ways in different jurisdictions, and old labels are (confusingly) applied to what are arguably new concepts. Whether there is support for turning the articles for such terms into disambiguation pages remains to be seen. If you agree this page should not be deleted because it is a plausible redirect (eg to Criminal charge), you should withdraw your nomination, because AfD isn't for merger proposals.
