Demongelic[edit]

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

Apparently self-published book (series is planned, according to author's website, but not verified in reliable sources) by a non-notable author. The article was apparently created by the author of the book, so there are also WP:COI and self-promotion issues. Prod tag removed by a brand-new account. —C.Fred (talk) 23:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not come close to meeting WP:NBOOKS after four years of having been released. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should not be deleted. It is a notable book and while it has been four years since release, it has been exhibited at recent large-scale events including Cornwall and Area Pop Event where the book was sold according to the Cornwall and Area Pop Event website, Bradley Pennell is listed.^[1] The page has also been updated to reflect that it is only one book that has been released in 2011 and has been updated with the printing information verified by the sources provided. It has also been updated to reflect a neutral viewpoint based on the facts found in the credible sources. —SamanthaBlueButterfly

Delete. While the book exists (WP:ITEXISTS), there hasn't been any coverage of the book other than a couple of local newspaper articles. It's far from the amount of in-depth coverage that Wikipedia would require to pass notability guidelines. As far as appearances at events go, that in and of itself won't count towards notability unless there was coverage of the event and/or the book (or author) received an award at these events that would be considered a major enough award to give either partial or total notability. It doesn't help that the CPE is just a local comic book convention. However even if it was a major convention it still wouldn't give notability. Coverage of the event would be what would give notability, but I don't see where there has been any coverage of the book or its author beyond the sourcing currently in the article. I don't mean to sound harsh, just that there isn't anything that would give notability per Wikipedia's guidelines for books, which are pretty strict.

Weak keep -- Christian magazines do not necessaarily get that much publicity within the mainstream media. My understanding is that this is a specialist non-academic magazine, for church youth pastors and leaders of evangelical churches. With the decline of print media generally and the rise of the Internet, magazines like this are inclined to struggle. The transfer of ownership suggests that this one is also struggling. However I would suggest that it is a significant niche magazine and thus notable. As long as its publication continues, I would suggest that we should keep it. Evangelicalism is mainstream, not FRINGE. Peterkingiron (talk) 09:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do not deleteSeveral sources were added (in both English and Romanian). At least 7 different major media outlets profile this person's story. These are not quotes, but full interviews. The criteria for notability are met IMHO, given level of awareness among the Romanian public. Mpopleanu ^Talk

Delete. His opinion is cited by some news outlets, but he is only briefly described by them. In any event, we're not covering everyone who appears in the news. A lot in the article is exagerated, from his definition as a "public figure" to the "virality" of his opinion piece in "Adevărul".- Andrei (talk) 08:03, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Do not deleteExaggerations were corrected. The expression "public figure" still applies, in my humble opinion. He is not simply briefly described by the news articles listed; these are full profile stories. A simple Google search for "sebastian burduja" makes the case for inclusion.

Delete for now, unfortunately - This article was good (there are much worse articles) and at least had notable sources but unfortunately that is where it ends. A News search found results mostly recent press releases with a few news links including the May 2014 flurry.

Keep I don't think this falls under WP:BLP1E. Because There is, in fact, significant ongoing coverage. here [1], and here [2]. As the editors above say, the article is well-written and well-sourced. I have added a bit about the April 2015 launch of a Godinterest Wordpress blogging feature for Christians sourced to Bloomberg. I think it should be kept.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who said anything about BLP1E? The key words here are the 'significant' part of WP:CORP and the 'multiple non-trivial' part of WP:WEBCRIT. The religion news source is probably the best available, but it's a blog with little evidence of editorial oversight and hardly discusses the site anyway. The second link you've provided is to a press release and the 'bloomberg' link was also a press release. The current article is reasonably well-written, but is sourced terribly, which is why it doesn't belong. SmartSE (talk) 20:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I read your reference to the 2014 "flurry of churnalist coverage" as a reference to BLP1E. to me it looks as though there was a second, smaller flurry of churnalist coverage in April 2015, with a Religion News Service blogger picking up on this [3] press release, which was also echoed on Bloomberg and some other places. I think the amount of press coverage last year and this passes GNG. But I see where some might not think so.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:40, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A case of WP:TNT. Company may be notable, but if you remove all of the promotional content, there would be nothing left. Written by an editor with a possible COI, advertisement masquerading as articles, doesn't seem to adequately sum up its sources anyway. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 21:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Bateman[edit]

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

Speedy deletion declined, but this is an unsourced BLP about an auctioneer and antiques expert that has made occasional appearances (often not more than a few minutes) in a variety of BBC antiques TV programmes. I can't find any actual news coverage or independent reliable sources about her. If the unsourced biographical and family info was removed, there would be little left of any substance. Fails WP:GNG.

Maybe redirect to one of the TV shows - A News search found a few links, Books found nothing and a browser search found links her BBC bio. Rather than deleting, I think a redirect to one of the TV shows, maybe Flog It (seems maybe she's received a little more attention for that one)? SwisterTwister talk 05:40, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure a redirect to a TV show is the best idea, since there is an article on Kate Josephine Bateman. Perhaps Kate Bateman should just not be a link, or be changed back into the redirect to Kate Josephine Bateman that it started as. It won't need disambiguation if it doesn't remain an article. - Nunh-huh 19:54, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Christopher Hayes[edit]

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

Non-notable assistant professor / adjunct professor and attorney. Only claim to notability is "first non-Korean to work for the Constitutional Court of Korea", sourced to the subject's blog (although apparently a copy of an article from the Korean Times, but just to announce he was starting to contribute a column to that paper). The article was created by Sean123ct (talk · contribs) with what seems to be all content-based edits made by that user or Seanhayes74 (talk · contribs). Both of those users' edit histories are solely to promote Hayes or his blog, and given the user names are likely Hayes himself.

Every source in the article is to either Hayes's law firm or Hayes's blog.

Article was PRODded in June 2014 ("not a notable person") and dePRODded (by a non-Hayes editor, I should note) a few days later with the edit summary "probably notable", which I suggest is generous.

I'm not persuaded that being the first non-Korean to work for a particular court is notable. An elected or appointed position, maybe, depending on the position. This is a long way away from Jackie Robinson. I'm likewise not impressed by the assistant professor and adjunct professor positions. "Adunct" usually means a part-time teacher who just comes in to teach an occasional class.

The newspaper columnist position is likewise non-notable. TJRC (talk) 21:25, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If there is a fan wiki somewhere I'd recommend adding this there, but this is a bit too fancruft for Wikipedia. This was a three episode miniseries that got some coverage but not an overwhelmingly large amount to where we'd be able to rationalize an article for something like the One Ring or even a page like List of Middle-earth characters.

Delete As an indication of significance, citing him as "the first Filipino author to write a book on fulfilled eschatology" is a stretch. No relevant coverage found via Google. All the sources cited are by him or are WP:ROUTINE documentation for the assertions in the article. Authonomy is a self-publishing site. Fails WP:N and all of its pertinent corollaries. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. The thing about claiming to be the first at something is that it's an insanely hard thing to prove. I've found that whenever someone claims to be the first, odds are that they're not. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone claim to be the youngest writer or filmmaker, only for this to be easily disproven. In any case, I can't find anything to show that this person is ultimately notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. It also doesn't help that the article is pretty promotional in its tone- this article comes across as a pretty obvious attempt to promote the author. I'd say speedy deletion, but this should go through a full AfD even if it's just to help ensure that this can't be recreated in the future. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Significant coverage by reliable sources. Liwanag's standing was published by Allyn Morton, owner of The Fulfilled Connection magazine and contributor to the Fulfilled Covenant Bible. He was equally honored as a pioneer in fulfilled eschatology by WyzAnt's editor Adam Maarschalk.^[1]^[2] Transformium (talk) 14:55, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call these two blogs reliable sources. Neither is itself of any note; Google comes up with very little for either of them, and virtually none of that is independent and substantial. I don't gather that Allyn Morton and Adam Maarschalk are notable either. Regarding the TFCMagazine site, further, there is no coverage of Liwanag. There are his own writings, and his own personally created profile page. There isn't anything about him, as far as I can tell; even if there were, given that he's a contributing writer to the site, it wouldn't be independent coverage. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with regret. I'm always suspicious of deletions of Filipino/Pinoy BLPs, but this one just does not make the grade. It's clear from the poor sourcing and red links that he is not a notable scholar, nor in a notable field of study. He and his field are not yet notable.

Where is the source that says he hand picked her for Transformers? And even with the source, you could say that about anyone he has ever hand picked, just because Michael Bay chose her, doesn't make her notable. LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, Michael Bay may not have hand picked her but someone else or he himself might be. Though it is not necessarily Michael Bay hand picked one should be popular but all those who act in the film have got Wikipedia pages; I have seen this movie. What is the rationale for Melanie is not qualified for a Wikipedia page? Is she a black sheep among others?Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So why even say that Michael Bay chose her when you can't even back up that he did? Just because she was in a popular movie, doesn't automatically make her notable, I think that's what you are confused about. Notable people need to have significant coverage to verify their career and background, otherwise, they don't need their own article. LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:56, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why Men's Health (magazine), the world's largest men's magazine brand, with 40 editions in 47 countries and the the best-selling men's magazine on U.S. newsstands, compared her with other Notable celebrities?

Just because a notable magazine posted 2 sentences about her, doesn't make her notable. Sage Erickson and Holly Sonders on that list and don't have their own article. Just because they are on the list doesn't automatically make them notable. See WP:GNG "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is not those two sentences but their comparison with other notable celebrities make her Notable. Sage Erickson and Holly Sonders are notable, but we don't have enough volunteer editors to create their pages only Wikipedia. See the Google News of Sage Erickson and Holly Sonders; hope you will agree with me.Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator has previously nominated two articles but the results were "Keep";

Please see the discussions below;

It is pointless arguing with him; I won't do so.

He has removed two sources and the content just before the discussion on the grounds they are unreliable.

These two articles are your recent deletion nominations and there is not a single delete vote in both articles; that shows your poor judgment of the nomination and your state of current mindset.

LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better you read your first deletion nomination, you will get many specific points of mine.Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 09:56, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've been asked to come in to weigh in on some of the comments here. Offhand here's my statement on things: while Inother has predominantly only contributed to AfDs, that does not make him or her a SPA. The thing about the term "SPA" is that this is most frequently used to describe someone who has a very specific agenda, which usually means that they were brought in to vote in a very specific manner. Most of the time this term is used to describe sockpuppets or meatpuppets that were created for one specific AfD. Offhand I can't see where Inother would fall within the most common use of this term and because of this, I would recommend against using the term to describe them because the term doesn't fit this specific person.

Now when it comes to things like appearances in men's magazines, the general consensus is that these sort of things don't really count as notability giving sources because the coverage is usually very brief and mostly consists of a few sentences along with a photograph of the woman in question. It all depends on the article in question- sometimes coverage from these magazines can be used but in this case it'd essentially be considered a WP:TRIVIAL source since the mention (#96) is all of 2 sentences long. As far as claims about her being hand picked by Michael Bay, unless you can back that up with a RS you can't include it in the article. It's also not exactly a claim for notability even if she was, since being picked for a film doesn't automatically mean that the person is notable. If they end up receiving coverage as a result of their film role then that would show notability, as would coverage about the film role if the role in question is a major one. This last part is something to take into consideration since films can have a lot of minor roles that get little to no screen time. The rule of thumb is to look at what the actor's part is titled- if they were not given a name and were only labeled as a position (ie, "Nurse", "Receptionist", or "Senior Executive Assistant") then the role is considered minor and not one that would give notability regardless of how popular the film becomes.

Now as far as the nominator's past AfD nominations go, I will agree that these two YT videos were notable. However at the same time that does not mean that the AfDs were made in bad faith or that she was wrong with this specific AfD nomination. I will note that she has also made other nominations that were not kept and that she has also made accurate votes at other AfDs. It's not a perfect AfD history (very few of us have one), but there's nothing in there that would cause any true immediate alarm. Even if there was I can still see where her concern was with this article. In this instance I'd recommend against commenting about Lotus's past editing history and instead look for more coverage in reliable sources. Right now the coverage is insanely light and the only real source of note is Enstarz, which offhand looks to be usable since it does have an editorial process. One source is not enough to show notability in this instance. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:45, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply:

Though I appreciate the time you have taken to study the subject and then comment on it, I afraid whether you are violating Wikipedia:Canvassing. Requesting someone's talk page[6], [7], [8] in a tone could be considered applying undue influence over the editors.

Though you are trying to balance, your comment is some extent biased. You are trying to protect Lotus. Since you are an administrator you should be more cautious. If I am wrong, I will take this issue to clear at a WP:RFC.

Lotus has requested with same tone[9], [10] at User:SNUGGUMS's talk page and he has voted "Delete".

If some one wants to attract others opinion either she/he should have used 3rd Opinion or Rfc or talk pages in a neutral tone.Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 16:29, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- - I did not canvass anyone. I asked Snuggums to take a look at the page because he has done some of my reviews for GA and has made comments on my FL nominations so I trust his judgement and his opinion. I also asked Tokyo to "simmer" the situation as she is an admin and works frequently on AfD's and I knew that you were out of line with calling Inother an SPA. I don't need anyones protection. So far, you haven't been able to bring up any good points to give Ms. Specht any kind of notability. Your points were countered and you had nothing to respond with.

Hardly people accept their mistakes and you too. You can't be at the same time a lawyer and the judge.Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say I was canvassed since I was only asked to come in here and try to cool things down. I wasn't asked to vote, which is what canvassing ultimately is considered to be. I'll be completely honest: you're being more than a little aggressive in how you're going after every person who disagrees with your opinion. You've said your piece and it's clear that you want to keep the article, but I'd recommend that you walk away from this AfD. Right now what you're doing is not only borderline harassment of any disagreeing editor (and most certainly Lotus) but absolutely bad faith assumptions on your part. I would highly, highly recommend that you take a break from this AfD. You're not helping your case in the slightest at this point because you're putting a lot of people automatically on the defensive when they come to this AfD since they're going to assume that you're going to automatically go after them if they say anything other than a keep- which seems to be pretty well founded since you did just that with Davey. If this continues then it would be well within Lotus's rights to escalate this to ANI, where you can run the risk of getting temporarily blocked for harassment if you don't back down. I need to repeat this: please walk away from the AfD. At this point all you're doing is harassing each new person who comes in here and some of your assumptions against Lotus can be seen as personal attacks. You're not going to gain any points here by trying to demolish Lotus's credibility (she's been on here for 6 years and other than a few hiccups, has a rather impressive edit history). I'd say the same thing here if the positions had been reversed and it was you that had opened the AfD. I'm formally asking you to stop and walk away from this AfD for the time being. There's nothing more you can say here that you haven't already said and right now you're just resorting to assuming bad faith. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:10, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have already decided to walk away. I have actually started my Wikipedia contributions in 2005 and closely worked with a number of ArbCom members on highly sensitive geopolitical issues globally here on Wikipedia. I retired on personal reasons and resumed just to contribute on light subjects since I am used to this place. My intention is not harassing others but to keep this article for some time until it gets enough WP:RS at an appropriate time.Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka) (talk) 05:15, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

However the issue here is that her notability has to be established in the here and now because saying that sources may eventually become available is essentially crystal balling. We can't keep an article on the basis that they may become more notable one day. It's possible that she might gain more notability but it's equally possible that she could sink into obscurity after this. The acting world is pretty harsh like that- sometimes the most promising people can seem like they'll make it big and start gaining a little buzz, only for them to never break through that barrier and distinguish themselves against the other, similar actors. Notability guidelines have also become increasingly more strict over the years to where things that may have passed years ago would not pass guidelines now- the AfD history is full of articles that previously passed notability guidelines at prior AfDs but ended up becoming deleted after guidelines were made more strict. At most all that can be done here is that the article could be userfied. If she'd played a more major role in something we could maybe justify redirecting her article with history to something she's more known for, but she hasn't performed any major roles. At best she's known for a minor one episode role in The Ex List, which was cancelled mid-season. If the 5 Minute Sketch Show had an article that asserted notability I'd support a redirect there, but I can't really see where it'd pass notability guidelines as a whole. Typically when something is redirected it'd be for something like a major role or at least a very visible role that gets more frequently commented on and would be included in a film cast list. The last AfD for this really shouldn't have closed on a keep and should at the very least have gone on for another week- the sourcing we have now in the article is essentially the same as the last AfD a few months ago and it's very, very weak.

While she has appeared in notable shows and notable films, NACTOR explicitly requires multiple significant roles. Disclaimer: I was told about this AfD by email presumably based on my involvement in some of Lady Lotus's other nominated AfDs. The message was neutral, (though not as transparent as I would like) and did not pressure me nor imply that I should vote one way or another.

Weak Delete - fails WP:ENTERTAINER/WP:BIO. There are a couple sources, but they don't look to be terribly good publications/website (smelling of promotional/paid content, though I'm not sure). I was also contacted by email to !vote, presumably because I participated in the other "note to the closing admin" AfDs. If you have a concern with Lady Lotus's competence as nominator, that's something to bring up at e.g. WP:ANI rather than to include as part of the reason to keep here.

Weak delete per nom (even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day) and Rhododendrites. In addition, I wish to note how difficult it can be to decide deletion when (a) there are lots of blogs and model shots of a B film actor, and when (b) we sometimes keep actors whose major role was something minor along the lines of "Rollover Mom" or "Waitress at the diner in Easy Rider". Any attractive actor who's had any roles on TV or film will inevitably get some attention in blogs or film reviews. But they often fail our basic rule of notability. In this case, I can't see how she'd pass that nor the more specific acting rule. I won't scream if this is kept. Bearian (talk) 14:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kuwait Astronomical Society[edit]

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

WP:ORG, WP:GNG. For obvious reasons, a group founded less than two months ago is unlikely to have amassed a sufficient number of independent, reliably-published sources with "significant coverage" – in this case, Google returns only a few tens of hits, most of them directory listings. The KAS's only real claim to fame seems to be that it is the first such society in Kuwait (an assertion not supported by any third-party source). In addition, this article closely paraphrases its primary reference to an extent arguably bordering on copyright violation.

This is the third creation of this article, which the author moved into mainspace from their sandbox despite another user deliberately placing it there for further development (in lieu of speedy deletion). Super Mario Man ( talk ) 18:20, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Other than this review, I couldn't really find anything usable to show notability. The article asserts that the book got a review from Beau Smith, but without the actual review we can't really verify how in-depth the actual review actually was. Was it an actual review? A blurb? This is pretty much why we need to be able to verify the sources- there's a big difference between the two. This may sound too distrustful, but I've seen cases where someone briefly mentioned something (book, movie, etc) in a manner that was clearly not a review, only for someone to try to use it as such. I even came across one instance where a media outlet reprinted a press release and someone tried to use the PR reprint as a review. This is why we need to verify sources.

Comment Co-written by Anurag Kashyap, Rutvik Oza is not nearly enough. Assuming you can source every single claim in the article, it amounts to just the person's resume, and there is simply no significant coverage of the subject individually. Even the nominations listed are not individual but as part of a team. This might be assuaged by winning a significant award, however that cannot be sourced either and I'm not even sure why it was used as a keep argument in the previous AFD. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 17:50, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Afghan-Mughal Wars[edit]

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

Original research - this list and numbering of wars appears to be a concept invented by the creator of this and the related articles. I've deleted several of those for copyright violations, and there is still copyvio in the rest.

REname -- I am not convinced that any of this is a hoax. All appear to have published sources, which suggests they should be kept and improved. However if the numbering is WP:OR, we should rename, by removing the numbers leaving Afghan-Mughal War (1555–1561). I know little of Indian history and am thus unable to comment more specifically. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment User:Peterkingiron, I'm not suggesting this is a hoax. I'm suggesting that these are artificial constructs. Can you find a source for an "Afghan-Mughal War (1555–1561)"? Or even just one ""Afghan-Mughal War"? Note that the linked article Battle of Panipat (1556) doesn't mention such a war. Dougweller (talk) 21:07, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Afghan-Mughal Wars but keep and rename the rest. I agree with the nominator to the extent that the fact that most of the main leaders of the Mughals' opponents in each of these wars could be described as Afghan is almost totally irrelevant to why the wars happened - and thus the grouping, and even more the numbering, does constitute synthesis. But individually, of one ignores the "Afghan-Mughal" description, the articles do each describe groups of campaigns that belong together and are reasonably described as discrete wars. The so-called "Third Afghan-Mughal War" starts with the Suri Empire splitting between contending heirs, and in each of the campaigns, right through to the capture of Chunar in 1561, the Mughals' primary opponent is either one or other of the Suri heirs or Hemu, who comes to power by overthrowing a Suri. After 1561, there is only one Suri heir still in power, in Bengal - he is overthrown a little later by the Karrani dynasty. The so-called "Fourth Afghan-Mughal War" is the campaigns in which the Mughals overthrow the Karrani dynasty and reclaim Bengal. The so-called "Fifth Afghan-Mughal War" is the struggles between the Mughals and, at first, Pir Roshan and, afterwards, his followers, the Roshaniyya. PWilkinson (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment PWilkinson, and Peterkingiron again, how is this not Wikipedia creating a topic no reliable sources have written about? How is this not original research? And as I've pointed out, there is a lot of copyvio, at least from other articles, in these. Another issue I know, but who is going to fix it? Dougweller (talk) 09:07, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, renaming the articles on individual wars to Afghan-Mughal War (1555–1561), Afghan-Mughal War (1573–1576) and Afghan-Mughal War (1580–1630), or something more appropriate (e.g. Afghan-Mughal campaigns (1555–1561)). These conflicts certainly seem to have occurred, but I can see no evidence they have been formally numbered by historians as they have been here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment -- The merits of the individual articles needs to be the subject of a separate discussion, which may result in them getting a completely different name. For the moment, I will support Necrothesp 's suggestion. Once we have dropped the ordinal, I see no reason why there should not be a series of Requested Moves to provide better individual names. As I indicated my knowledge of Indian history is slight, but an article with citations to reliable sources should not be deleted out of hand, but merged, redirected or renamed.

Delete. It's a list not an article, so too little is lost to worry about what's worth keeping. The title alone is too big a problem. Srnec (talk) 23:53, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Probably~~ delete ~~- but merging all content here might work~~ Fails to meet WP:GNG. In each of these war articles, most claims are made without citing any sources. When sources are cited, it is to support incidental statements and not to establish that any source identified these Afghan-Mughal conflicts as distinct events. There could be a Wikipedia article about Afghan-Mughal conflicts between a date range, perhaps even 1500-1800, but I see no reason to divide all of these wars and name them as they are named here. This seems like WP:OR and no WP:RS is used as supporting evidence to think otherwise.

I checked the talk page of the article creator. It seems that originally, this person copy-pasted some copyrighted content into Wikipedia, and based on the state of the articles now, the lack of citations indicates to me a lack of understanding that citations must be used. I fear that these articles are the result of a misunderstanding that Wikipedia has to reflect what has already been published, and should not present new ideas. I appreciate the effort because a lot of effort and research went into this.

I could be wrong about the deletion. The concept of the conflict is a notable topic and an alternative could be to merge all content from other articles here and to remove the seemingly arbitrary date and numbering system. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looking more, the content which is backed by sources is about 15 sentences among 3 articles. This content alone cannot be pieced together to create a meaningful narrative. Wikipedia is not a place to keep isolated facts, so this set of isolated facts cannot be kept here to establish an article on "Afghan-Mughal conflict". While I do support the creation of an "Afghan-Mughal conflict" article, I do not feel that the content here can be the basis of that.

Comment about possible merger The articles created by this editor were mainly copyvio from external sources, but quite a bit is copy and paste from our articles. I left that for the time being due to the time it would take to sort out where that came from (there's also some unidentifable material which I'd say is almost certainly copyvio as well). If we take this unattributed material, which is in fact a copvio violation even though it is copied from our own articles, and merge it somehow, we are simply making the copyvio worse and much harder to sort out.

Very Weak Delete Reasons given for deletion are poor: to the creator of the AfD, I'd recommend reading WP:ATA. However, the article in its current state is poor: I'm not sure the one reference is enough to support the article. Pishcal — ♣ 16:37, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm typically cautious about outright deletion of any article or section thereof; as I usually try to be supportive, proactive and encourage others to try harder (as I want to be treated myself). After all, a contribution may have good faith, even if it needs citation verification and improvements. Usually when I have an issue, I quickly look the topic up myself and add citations, or make recommendations thereof. Not everyone wants that burden, but its courteous and helpful. The other side of this conundrum is the burden of lost research and contributions that are now out of site and out of mind. And that's ever more harder to recover. So, at least, I suggest merging the work somewhere else. In short, I think we may delete an article, but not the idea itself (unless it's absurd or such).

Along with my other comment on this talk page, also consider the other places where coffee consumption is discussed. First, there's no section in the article of Coffee itself that's dedicated to consumption, although the topic is interspersed therein. Why would that article include sections for "Cultivation" and "Production" and yet direct to a new page for a discussion about "Consumption." By the way, consumption is not the same as "Sale and distribution." Another article, Economics of coffee, does include a section about Consumption, but starts off with a discussion about " World production." These articles are not developed and corresponding themselves, aside from splintering off to make a dedicated article that's exclusively for "per capita" consumption.

1. Buley, Taylor (2009-05-19). "Shunning NASDAQ". Forbes. Archived from the original on 2015-04-30. Retrieved 2015-04-30.
  The article notes:
  
  An old Wall Street joke posits that the New York Stock Exchange is saving the tickers “I” and “M”–two of the seven unused single-letter slugs–just in case Intel and Microsoft want to jump ship from the NASDAQ.
  Judging by the experience of Array Networks, one of the few technology companies to go public recently, the NYSE might be holding them for a long time: Today’s market defectors could be heading to China, or at least as close to the country as possible.
  Array Networks is a Silicon Valley hardware company that sells devices that encrypt network traffic. When Chief Executive Michael Zhao thought the security vendor was ready for an initial public offering, his research didn’t point to New York, but to Taipei. Last Wednesday, the company became the first U.S. company to debut on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
  “We did our research and the three finalists were Taiwan, mainland China and NASDAQ,” Zhao says.
  The IPO was modest in size, according to the Gre Tai Securities Market, which provides information about the Taiwan exchange. Milpitas, Calif.-based Array issued about 54 million shares valued at around $79 million. On its first day of trading, the stock opened at NT$15, about 46 cents, and closed at NT$40, or $1.22. Array is now trading at NT$39, or $1.19 a share, with a volume of 16,000 shares traded.
  Array has 200 employees in China, and, according to consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, the company had 43% market share there in 2007 for its principal product category, SSL VPN devices. That would make mainland China “a natural choice” for an IPO, says Zhao. “However, China does not allow foreign companies to be listed.”

  Finally, the Great Silicon Valley IPO Drought is coming to an end — sort of. This week, more than a year after the last valley tech company made an initial public offering, a venture-capital-backed firm called Array Networks in Milpitas is going public — yet it's not exactly the talk of the town.
  That's because Array, a maker of enterprise networking software, is offshoring its IPO. Today, it will become the first foreign-based startup to debut on the Taiwan Emerging Stock Market, said Array CEO Michael Zhao.
  Array's move is an example of the creative approaches companies are pondering to cope with the globally frigid economic conditions.
  ...
  Array, founded in 2000, is backed by U.S. Venture Partners and H&Q Asia Pacific, a private equity firm founded in 1985 as a joint venture with the now defunct boutique investment bank Hambrecht & Quist. Robert Shen, H&QAP's managing director, is Array's chairman. Another board member is William P. Fuller, president emeritus of the Asia Foundation and a board member of the Bank of the Orient in San Francisco and Orient First in Hong Kong.
  Array's success in landing "marquee customers" in the U.S. — including Oracle, Morgan Stanley and Humana Health Insurance— helped it make early inroads in Japan, Zhao said. In 2004, Array opened a Beijing operation to focus on the explosive Chinese economy. Array now has 200 employees in Beijing, compared with 70 in Silicon Valley.

  Array Networks this week launched a new partner program, in hopes of not only increasing channel revenue behind its application delivery, acceleration, access and SSL VPN products, but also dramatically upping its stake in the U.S. and Canada, where its presence has been limited.
  Founded in 2000 and with headquarters in Milpitas, Calif., the majority of Array's sales come from Asia. The company is particularly strong in China, Japan and India, and had a $79 million initial public offering (IPO) on Taiwan's GreTai Securities Market in 2009.

Many of these sources are available through the Google News link at the top of the AfD. Cunard (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

#1 is an advertorial. Forbes is not immune to PR agents placing articles. #2 is essentially identical; #3 is another try of theirs, with more blatant advertising content--see 3rd para. for the source; #4 a more trivial effort. #5 a longer one. #6 sounds like a straight ad, but I cannot see it in full; #7 is a straight press release; #8 and following are from eWeek. Essentially all eWeek content has always been press releases; similarly for about 3/4 of InformationWeek. I used those two publications a good deal when what I wanted was to see relevant press releases--they do it very well. & in the pre-web days were particularly important for it. DGG ( talk ) 00:02, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your attempt to discount sources from reliable publications like Forbes and San Jose Mercury News as being advertisements is very feeble. They are not advertisements. Provide proof, not assertions that they are advertisements. Cunard (talk) 00:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the third paragraph of #3, the source says:
But according to its top channel and marketing executives, the time has come for a much greater market presence in the U.S. against the many ADC and SSL VPN incumbents, from F5 Networks to Cisco and a host of smaller alternatives.
I believe "top channel and marketing executives" refers to "the company's highest-ranking channel and marketing executives". How is this advertising? This is a journalist reporting on the executives' statements to him. This is very standard in journalism and news articles and in no way means this is a press release.
eWeek and InformationWeek are both technology magazines. They are reliable publications that do not pass press releases off as news articles.

Comment, DGG, Pinkbeast, Joseph2302, Eeekster, I think this source, Forbes, allows the company to passes WP:NCORP and gives the subject significant coverage, and was at one point publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, per WP:LISTED should be inherently notable, if I am correct, I maybe wrong perhaps the exchange is not large enough, I believe it is international though. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 03:57, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I consider that exchange no more significant than NASDAQ. DGG ( talk ) 04:11, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (WP:LISTED) says (my bolding):

There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.
Editors coming across an article on such a company without such references are encouraged to search (or request that others search) prior to nominating for deletion, given the very high (but not certain) likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion.

This "publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion" per the numerous sources I posted above.

You are repeating DGG's unsupported claim that the sources are press releases. In no way can the articles from Forbes, San Jose Mercury News, and CRN Magazine be considered press releases. The Forbes article is from a financial magazine reporting about a Silicon Valley hardware company's IPO. The San Jose Mercury News article is by a regional newspaper's columnist that discusses the company's upcoming IPO. The CRN Magazine article is from a technology magazine profiling the company. All three articles are written neutrally and from reliable publications.

Comment I am afraid this is incorrect. The guidelines of WP:LISTED apply here. In terms of market listings the Taiwan Stock Exchange is the 19th largest international secondary exchange in the world and is regulated similar to the NYSE and NASDAQ. These are major secondary markets with transactions in the billions daily. That's irrelevant to why listed companies are inherently notable. The regulation required to be listed on these markets means the company is under controlled scrutiny. Balance sheet, reports, earning are all monitors with high regulation and guidelines. Their counterpart is the OTC markets consisting of (Grey markets and Pink Sheets) where regulation is laxer and less monitoring overall. This is where penny stocks trade small companies. These companies are not inherently notable because listed only includes companies in the primary and secondary markets where regulation is strict. This is how the American market operates. The Taiwan market is similar, the major exchange there is Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE), their penny stock equivalent is the Gre Tai Securities Market. Array Networks is listed on the TSE thus inherently notable. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 03:19, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The TSE is not the equivalent of the NYSE and even if it was, "notability is not automatic". Notability must still be shown and, from my perspective, it is not.--Rpclod (talk) 03:31, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe regulation is what gives the company notability not size. It subject to interpretation though. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 03:34, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I would recommend against including this in any other articles just for the sheer fact that we cannot even prove its existence. The only thing we have is a newspaper clipping that to be quite honest, looks kind of photoshopped. There's just something about it that looks really, really off, like it was put together with a computer program. I can only guess that they're talking about The Sunday Times in the newspaper clipping since that's the only thing that comes up in a search that looks feasible with the name "New Sunday Times", so I'll e-mail the paper to ask if this was an actual story or not. If it is then it could maybe merit a redirect... maybe. I'm not really happy with the idea of the lost film list not requiring some sort of notability for the list since there are a lot of films that could be considered "lost" in some form or fashion and most list articles do require some independent notability since a lot of people have discovered that this is a loophole they can exploit.

Delete Film that appears to be still in the early stages of production, judging by its Kickstarter[27].

AfDs for this article:

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

I believe this book fails WP:NBOOK. Namely: 1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book 2. The book has won a major literary award. 3. The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement. 4. The book is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools, colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country 5. The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study. How anyone can seriously claim this book (a series of essays) can meet this is beyond me.AusLondonder (talk) 07:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The proposer fails to make any case for deletion: just quoting the rules without explaining how it fails to meet them is pointless. Although it's not widely reviewed in the mainstream press, the article indicates multiple reviews: Asia Times, Publishers Weekly, Midwest Book Review, though some of these are no longer online. There's also coverage in National Review, mentions in other books, and brief notices in Library Bookwatch[28] and First Things[29]. Not all of these are nutty right-wing islamophobic bloggers, and the article offers a balanced account rather than a PR puff. If the sources aren't judged sufficient, it could be merged to Robert Spencer. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:36, 1 May 2015 (UTC

Comment. For criteria 1, it has not received significant non-trivial published works. 2. Obviously it has not won any awards. 3. Nope. 4. Nope. 5. Definitely no. AusLondonder (talk) 10:58, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. Plenty of RS already cited in the article, including influential journals and newspapers like The Middle East Journal and Asia Times. Nom may also have a WP:COI problem by PRODing (on the 29th) five articles [30],[31],[32],[33],[34] on books critical of Islam while elsewhere !voting Keep on obviously less worldly-publicly-visible entities like the Afghanistan International Bank. Also potential sock (two-week-old account whose first edit consisted of creating a large article with multiple sections containing complex forms). Pax 11:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notability established, and no censorship on Wikipedia. Quis separabit? 14:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Notability is certainly not established according to the criteria at WP:NBOOK. For the censorship argument, are you seriously suggesting we keep an article that is not notable to ensure false accusations of censorship are not made?AusLondonder (talk) 14:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, still meets WP:GNG. Although the last two afds resulted in keep, see WP:NTEMP "While notability itself is not temporary, from time to time, a reassessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion, ... Thus, articles may be proposed for deletion or recreated months or even years after being earlier considered."Coolabahapple (talk) 16:50, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. WP:NBOOK is the relevant criteria.AusLondonder (talk) 14:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Er, no. GNG trumps everything else. Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I am astounded, that as of yet, no editor has used the criteria at WP:NBOOK to justify keeping this article, instead accusing me of bad faith, of being a sock, of having a conflict of interest, using the wrong criteria and using the 'censorship' excuse. What a disappointing deletion discussion. AusLondonder (talk) 14:59, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should the article The Myth of Islamic Tolerance be deleted, as I believe the article fails to meet any of the criteria at WP:NBOOK. As of yet, no editor has indicated how it meets WP:NBOOK, however consensus cannot be reached. AusLondonder (talk) 15:24, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You wanted comments, so here's one. All WP:NBOOK asks for is 2 independent non-trivial RS reviews ("The book has been the subject[1] of two or more non-trivial[2] published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself"), and this book has had more than that. Launching an RFC is forum-shopping, and beating a dead horse. Don't be surprized if people wonder about your motives. Johnbod (talk) 15:51, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Frankly, I am surprised. What motives are you suggesting I have? A book review does not qualify - are you saying any book to ever receive a book review, no matter how negative, in a credible source is notable? AusLondonder (talk) 16:50, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You keep citing WP:NBOOK, now try reading it. It's pretty clear. What the review says is immaterial. Johnbod (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I did not believe it refered to book reviews. If that is the case, virtually every book is entitled to a Wiki article. I'm quite disgusted with how uncivil you've been here AusLondonder (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to AusLondonder (talk). Quote from WP:NBOOK - "A book that meets either the general notability guideline or the criteria outlined in this or any other subject-specific notability guideline, and which is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy, is presumed to merit an article." Also, Johnbod's allusion to 'a dead horse' may refer to WP:DROPTHESTICK?:) Coolabahapple (talk) 17:01, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I think it meets WP:GNG much less. By the way, try and remain civil. AusLondonder (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable enough for me - my vote is to keep the page and remove the proposal to delete. You don't have to be on google to be notable, especially when you were an international athlete from 100 years ago.

You need to read and get wise. They are not going to make any attempt to find merit; and will act completely blind to merits you present because their vote and this nomination is a canvased conflict of interest. And bad faith? The mere fact that not a single voter has even recognized accredited scientific research presented and the presenter has not moved for a speedy keep, solidifies the claim as there is no justifiable reason inside Wikipedia policy that the page should be removed. It certainly merits a stub tag, but not delete.2606:A000:A5C0:8000:7916:9ED5:A7A:1E91 (talk) 10:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Company has published software to both Softpedia and WordPress.org more than was included in the wiki page, also references from government websites. Goldsboro Web Development cites Softpedia which in turn cites Wordpress.org which is verifiable sources that this company has created unique software which qualifies the company for inclusion under the condition of its software being encyclopedic material^[4]. It is more appropriate to flag this as a stub instead of deletion. Out of curisoty to why this was flagged for deletion and not a stub I checked out the innitiator's user profile and found he/she is a web/graphic designer him/herself^[5] and focuses contributions on deletion of web designers. This officially classifies as WP:CANVAS and WP:CONFLICT and should lead to a speedy keep. Company escapes WP:INHERITORG from resources: WOT^[6], Wordpress.org/plugins^[7], Angie's List^[8], Better Business Bureau^[9], and Softpedia^[10]. Company meets Wikipedia:Notability from having 200,000+ websites using their software^[11]. It is also noteworthy that other delete votes are of web designers and developers.

My comments to you on your user page address your opinion of Wikipedia policy in that you believe that 6+ secondary sources are required to prove both notoriety and reliability. The comments were also very civil and polite. I'm not sure why you would begin to claim that you would be uncomfortable unless you know you are opposing Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia specifically states "more than one" secondary source. I have provided 8 (see the page again). There is no logical reason why a user would harbor an opinion in opposition to Wikipedia when the policies are so clear.Leewells2000 (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In clarification, I nominated the article for deletion. However, I am neither a graphic designer or web designer (economist, actually), and the majority of my contributions are on vandalism patrol, not on design-related articles.

I've never mentioned or fingered you personally as being a web designer, though there are 3 commentators here that are. As so their previous revisions would suggest. You do however have quite a few deletion contribs to web designers and developer companies, all of which that I can see where kept Leewells2000 (talk) 06:51, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did. Your profile history seems to suggest you are a graphic designer and your hobby is photography. At what point did you become an economist? I've read all the comments here, and sure, while I came across abrasively, the point was clear that you assumed the worst about the page when you made your decision to nominate it. Then as User:leewells2000 stated, you then ask for special pleading in asking people not to have bad faith in you. User:leewells2000 has more than risen to the challenge of vindicating his company and provided multiple verifiable and even accredited sources for his claims that his product is the best. If having a product that is the best is not a qualification for Wikipedia, then I'm officially withdrawing my funding as it would certainly indicate that acceptance into Wikipedia is a popularity contest and not a challenge of merits. And that's that. 2606:A000:A5C0:8000:7916:9ED5:A7A:1E91 (talk) 10:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - I referenced Super Captcha in a citation as proof that it is our software. I have yet to create a page for the notoriety of Super Captcha yet. It is a rule on Wikipedia to have Good Faith -- not bad faith which is the action of this nomination. Here is an example of the notoriety of Super Captcha, called the most secure text-based CAPTCHA by research from the University of Wollongong^[12] It takes 30 seconds to search this on Google. Bad faith = fail. Leewells2000 (talk) 12:08, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Notability of a firm is not demonstrated by business index listings, nor does notability inherit from use of the firm's product(s). Standard searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google) are not locating detailed discussion of Goldsboro Web Development but I'd be happy to revise my opinion above if some can be found. AllyD (talk) 15:01, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is not inherited from USE of our firm's product(s), it is inherited from the RESEARCH of our firm's product(s). There is a very stark difference. Use of product is the popularity fallacy, accredited research is much less fallible. Again it is you who has bad faith here. You're using the ambiguity fallicy and trying to misrepresent the Wikipedia policy. The policy doesn't state that company's cannot be listed by merit of their products, it simply states that use of the product doesn't grant you a ticket. If I show statistics that our product is used on 4 million websites, it wouldn't help. However accredited and independent research to the merits of the PRODUCT is completely diffrent. Else how do indie game companies like Keen Software House make it to Wikipedia, exactly? This meets the criteria for WP:RS under "Scholarship", "Material such as an article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses."

- Are you trying to be insulting? Did you expect that folks wouldn't click the whois? Or do you believe that for some reason that this is a popularity vote. This discussion is going on week 2 and there is only one reason it is still open, not because of the amount of keeps or the amount of deletes, but because I have provided verifiable proof that the article reasonably meets the merits defined in Wikipedia policy and not a single person can challenge it. In fact the only reason it has not closed is because the reporter is too pig-headed to initiate a speedy keep. It seems as if you are defensive that your votes are out-numbered. Allow me to assure you that popularity means nothing. Until someone can show that the scientific research I have offered is invalid, or the reviews I submitted are "trivial", the page meets all requirements to keep under WP:GNG. But by all means, stay your course with your capaign against web designers posting on Wikipedia -- that is wp:canvass.Leewells2000 (talk) 23:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lambert & Butler[edit]

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

I found this article while searching for articles that needing cleaning and I don't think it is notable. Recent news results don't find anything significant or notable as well as archived results with only one link here saying it is the best-selling brand in the UK similiar to the 2007 claim in the article. Books results don't find anything good either, Newspapers archive found nothing and a search at British newspapers Telegraph and Guardian found nothing aside from some BBC results. Frankly, as an alternative to deletion, I think redirecting to Imperial Tobacco would be good since it seems Lambert & Butler is best known for that. Any comments? SwisterTwister talk 04:56, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't know why this article takes 1979 as a starting point when Lambert & Butler as a company dates back to 1834 when they were one the UK's earliest cigar manufacturers ([35]). The company had a 67 year history before merging with Imperial Tobacco in 1901. There's clearly scope for expansion here with sources such as [36], [37], [38]. A brand that had 17% of the cigarette market in the UK in 1999 with sales of £1.3billion in 2009 ([39]) is clearly worth including in an encyclopedia. --Michig (talk) 07:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The citation record isn't very convincing. But we can point to one significant concept that he was known as a pioneer of — Periodic systems of small molecules — and two obituaries in major national Adventist publications [42] [43]. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. First, many thanks to EricEnfermero, who added referenced information to the article. When I read that I almost came here to withdraw this. However, I found that the mention in the Scientific American is a brief passage in a long article mostly on the periodic table proper. David Eppstein, may I ask if you are sure that periodic systems of small molecules is truly a significant concept (I'm not questioning its notability, btw)? Because the citation record of Hefferlin's articles on the topic seems to suggest quite otherwise, and to show that take-up has been minimal. Redirection of this page to Periodic systems of small molecules might also be an option here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:35, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I didn't vote here because I wasn't sure of the significance, but I figured I would add it and let others judge that. EricEnfermero (Talk) 20:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding of the significance of the "periodic systems" concept is purely based on the obituaries, and not on any personal knowledge of the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:48, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, David Eppstein. I did a small amount of reading, including a look at our own article on periodic systems of small molecules (which has a mass of literature and not enough references). It seems that Hefferlin's scheme was by no means the first (which the Scientific American writer fails to mention), though it apparently was the first to use a Kronecker product to generate a multi-dimensional array. The article he published it in gets 20 hits on Scholar. Does that indicate a significant discovery? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:36, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It is not the subject's list of publications that makes him or her notable, it is the evidence of the discussion of that subject in secondary sources that supports a notability claim.

Cloudnine Hospitals[edit]

Blatant advert concealed as an article. Anything that has that many awards or pseudo-awards ought to have some meat in it. This has no meat and poor references.

Here is my analysis of the references:

Comment Some unreferenced items have been removed, and some facts, hitherto unsourced, have been either added or sourced. The new sourcing gives me similar cause for concern:

http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-06-05/news/32055714_1_maternity-care-founders-speciality-hospital while having the appearance of reliability and independence, feels to be the outcome of a PR exercise. For me this is borderline
http://archive.financialexpress.com/news/matrix-partners-invests-rs-45-cr-in-cloud-nine/831230 has all the appearance of a press release generated piece, albeit from the investor, not the org in question. Even so that does not make it independent. Rather, since the investor is publicising their investment, it makes it a primary source. Fail
http://www.leaders.economictimes.com/winners-2012.php is just a list of winners. Is this award notable? If so then it is useful to the extent that it verifies the winning of the award, but it feels like just another industry junket. Correct me with pleasure. My current opinion is Fail
http://www.worldwideachievers.in/health-care-excellence-awards-2012.html same as the immediately preceding award. Fail
http://www.fastcompany.com/most-innovative-companies/2014/industry/india Who is FastCompany? Is this rating in any way notable? Unless proven to be notable itself, Fail

I've declined the PROD on this as there's a comment on the talk page that I'm going to say is a challenge.

Delete - from internet search it seems "vapour phase epitaxy" is something real. See also Metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy. I fail to see how the article at hand meets any notability requirement.

Redirect. This appears to be the same thing as hydride vapour phase epitaxy, with the term "hybrid" occasionally appearing as what looks like a backronym. Searching for the more common term, or just HVPE, makes clear that this is a widely used process. Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree if I was convinced that last article (hydride vapour phase epitaxy) was worth keeping. Seems to me it is worth a mention on the Metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy page, at best. Tigraan (talk) 13:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MOVPE and HVPE are not the same thing. This is waaaaaay out of my field, but I'm convinced on checking the usage of these terms that "hybrid" and "hydride" refer to an identical process. It's not clear what it's a hybrid of because it isn't; that's just a common (mis)analysis of the acronym HVPE. Along the lines of whether HPLC is "pressure" or "performance". Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:07, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Merge Searches of scientific literature show that it's definitely a distinct technique, although what it's a hybrid of isn't made very clear. This is one of those pages that would need someone very familiar with the science to make any quality improvements.

Redirect to hydride vapour phase epitaxy, to which it is an apparent synonym. Hydride vapour phase epitaxy gets over a thousand GScholar hits and the "hybrid" variant gets 36. Both are used to grow gallium nitride layers using HCl at high temps with nitrogen or ammonia carrier gases; they look like the same process to me. The hybrid variant is in the literature, however, and is a plausible search term, so a redirect is warranted. --Mark viking (talk) 00:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment putting articles up for AFD in a way like this does seem to go against WP:POINT. As for the article itself here, I'm on the fence as to whether two solo studio albums is enough for a list. One solo album alone definitely wouldn't be, though. Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:21, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He has 2 solo albums and one with the Administration for which he bought the rights of the songs basically making his. Anyways, to be honest, I lost interest in this list.

List of songs recorded by Drake Bell[edit]

List of mostly non-notable songs, where the recordings (albums) all have articles. No need for this stand-alone article, esp. since as a topic ("Songs recorded by this singer-songwriter") there appears to be no notability whatsoever.

The result was delete. Dissident's point is heard, but the subject does not appear to meet any criteria of WP:CREATIVE, and the article is practically just a credits list. I'm also opting not to redirect per WP:ASTONISH -- just because he's mention in the infobox of another article that is totally not about him doesn't mean the title should point there. This title can be recreated and redirected to an appaopriate target by anybody who finds one. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 15:11, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This wasn't particularly strong consensus towards either outcome and I hesitated for a while between an NC, redirect or delete closure, and initially opted for what seemed the simplest (delete, with the option to redirect the title) -- however, after a request by the subject, I am changing my close for no consensus (thus restoring the article). Good points are raised in favor of keeping, deleting, or redirecting the article but no specific argument trumps any other. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:57, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Furniss[edit]

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

No non-trivial third-party coverage to indicate how the subject is notable. Having a lot of production credits does not satisfy WP:GNG whether it be film, video games, or music. Lots of people work on multiple creative projects. Most of them aren't notable by Wikipedia standards. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:32, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Don't see why this is even up for debate, as Furniss is a well known sound designer from the 90s. It would be different if he worked on games without Wikipedia articles, but that isn't the case here. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 04:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I've already said, being involved with a production does not in itself satisfy WP:BIO notability. Robin Harlan has a lot more credits as a foley artist, but as with Furniss, you won't find any non-trivial coverage from reliable third party sources to establish notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:01, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dissident93, if no sources discuss him in detail, would you at least be able to show that he is "well known" by the guideline for creative professionals? czar ⨹ 18:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: Finding reliable third party sources on any vgm related topic can be difficult, even for the way more known ones such as Uematsu and Sakuraba. By the way, does rule number 3 on the RS link seems to contradict what Ohnoitsjamie said above, or am I mis-reading? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:28, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There would have to be some way of signifying his impact on the field, then. The very idea of Wikipedia is to report the sources and if there are no sources, there is no article we will be able to write, so there has to be a really good reason or some immense notability for doing so.

So for redirects, his best known games are Lemmings and Mortal Kombat, but both pages currently don't mention him.

There does not appear to be major commentary on his work, and there is no statement that any of it is in the permanent collection of a major museum.

There are numerous objective and reputable sources used, such as Le Monde, The Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph, Eyemazing and a museum website. User DGG seems to have commented selectively on one of the most obscure, yet nonetheless acceptable sources "What's On", and it is simply untrue that this source is a reprint of the artist's comment on his own work. There is one acceptable and published source written by the artist which has sometimes been cited alongside other authors to support statements. The article draws material from a variety of authors and a total of 24 sources. Graff's work was recently exhibited in the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A De Lacy (talk • contribs)

Comment - I find it a bit odd to say the sourcing is terrible. There are some bad sources, yes, but also some good ones. The only problem is none of the good ones are online so its a hard to tell if they amount to anything or are just brief mentions. Several of the sources are brochures published on the event on a gallery exhibition - these may be reliable for certain information, but don't really convey notability. Others, e.g. Contemporary Art, Arts Review, and Sanat Dünyamiz may be legitimate reviews that establish notability. If A De Lacy is willing to email me page scans of the sources, I would be happy to take a look. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thaddeus B,

Thank you for your comment and the opportunity to provide further verification. I have included a link to scans of some source material below. You should find a total of 51 scans. To clarify, 9 of these are covers identifying the beginning of a publication and these covers do not include images of Graff's work. The large Eyemazing book published by Thames & Hudson is an image based publication intended to showcase collectible contemporary photography, hence the scan of the short biography near the end of the book. (Graff had a 6 page spread, but I have not included scans of the images.) I have not included any publications by galleries as I understand that these cannot establish notability. However, scans of extensive texts from gallery publications can also be provided if desired.

Below are links to Christie's and Phillip's auction results and a related web page, in order to establish the market value of the artists photographic work. These evidence that Graff's work has been collected and auctioned alongside images by Man Ray, Irving Penn, Norman Parkinson, Mapplethorpe, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Bettina Rheims, Erwin Blumenfeld, Paolo Roversi, David Bailey and Phillip Halsman, among other prominent photographers.

comment the auction rrcords above are irrelevant. We're not a art sales price guide. Using them --even citing them--indicates the promotional intent. If there should be an article it should be started over by someone with a NPOV approach. DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the auction results. I'm very new to Wikipedia and was unsure if they might support notability. Auction results indicate inclusion in collections, which I thought might be relevant. They are not referenced anywhere in the actual article, only in this discussion, so I do not think the article itself should be judged for this. I do not have promotional intent and am not at all commercially involved with the artist. -A De Lacy

His principle book has only 54 holdings in WorldCat and is not from a regular business or academic publisher. Does not meet WP:GNG, as there are no reliable third party sources listed for notability. This has actually been here since 2011., written by a SPA, and looks smooth enough that I doubt it's really the only article in WP they have ever written.

Comment His wife is notable, she served in the Oregon State Legislature. I don't see a problem with redirecting this article to Donna Zajonc if that article is created. Since notability is not inherited, I don't see it necessary to do more than mention his name and the couple's current business (the leadership center).

Keep sources provided by Cunard has established notability. Tone is now sufficiently neutral, this could have always been cleaned up. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 02:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and for the satisfaction of Spartaz who thought I was canvassed like the last time, I repeat, I was not; this was encountered on the daily AfD log) Once again I repeat my rationale from the last nom; no improvement from the first nom at all, and not really talking about the business more than impressive financial figures and company perks of no interest to the average reader. Also private company so no financials can be ascertained. Nate • (chatter) 03:57, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:GNG in its current form. Stifle (talk) 07:03, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The earlier nomination complained about COI, but as this was posted as an Draft by the COI writer, that meets our guidelines. The article itself has been improved since this 3rd nomination to make notability more clear. I have never heard of the trade papers in the citations, but I have heard of the US District Attorney, so I added a link. The COI editor might be disappointed that the company is most notable for handing online gambling funds over to the US government. Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Most of the sources in the article fail WP:CORPDEPTH, and in fact many of them are press releases, and thus are not reliable. A google search shows that many of the articles on the subject are press releases sourced to the company itself. If you look, there's even a notice at the bottom of the marketwatch article making it clear: "The Marketwatch News Department was not involved in the creation of the content." Pishcal — ♣

I agree that all three of the sources you listed are press releases. But they are sources I did not add to the article (they were already there to verify uncontroversial facts), and I am not using those press releases to establish notability. I am instead using coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability.
Subject-specific notability guidelines like Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) do not need to be considered when Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline is met. Per Wikipedia:Notability (my bolding):
A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
1. It meets either the general notability guideline below or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right.
2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.
Cunard (talk) 18:24, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources are indeed the company's own press releases, or appear to be. Having discarded those, there are probably 2 or 3 left that are relevant. Firstly is the online gambling settlement with the US Attorney. Second is the interview in the London magazine:[45] anyone know what the circulation, notability and reliability of LondonlovesBusiness is? [46] KCBS-TV is a SoCal regional TV station so that is also significant. It is really hard to find sources on this company, since its own web page[47] doesn't make any distinction between independent editorial (the only thing relevant to Wikipedia) and sponsored features (supplements like Raconteur and Media Planet) - but KCBS + the US District Attorney is probably enough to get them over the threshold of WP:CORP. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:44, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  The abstract at http://www.paymentssource.com/eletter/profile/3/18218.html^WebCite says:
  Allied Wallet is developing new payment technology that allows users to identify themselves by using an add-on fingerprint sensor, and also plans to build biometric acceptance for merchants.
  When the technology is deployed early next year, consumers will have the option to register their fingerprint as a way to verify transactions made via the Allied mobile app.
  "You verify the payment with your fingerprint and then choose the card you would like to use to pay the amount on the bill," says Andy Khawaja, CEO of Allied Wallet, which has 88 million users globally and is available in more than 250 countries and more than 50 currencies.

  Bearing in mind his e-commerce company Allied Wallet is expecting to transact $55bn (£36bn) in 2013, you soon realise why the American takes his work so seriously – for Khawaja, every day is at least another million.
  Allied Wallet provides a secure online payment system (similar to PayPal), as well as peer-to-peer transfers and smartphone card payments.
  Thanks to the unstoppable onslaught of e-commerce, Khawaja says his company grew by a jaw-dropping 6,000% in 2012 (though he won’t be drawn on profit). The numbers are hard to verify, but aren’t outright impossible.

According to the sources, the company has 88 million customers in over 250 countries, processes over 50 currencies, and was projected to have transacted $55 billion (£36 billion) in 2013. Based on the significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, it is clear the company is notable.
