Brigitte Kwan[edit]

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

This article, created by an indef-blocked user, is likely a hoax. It's unsourced and I cannot find any information on the web about a feminist named Brigitte Kwan or 関秀華 (her purported Chinese name), except for Wikipedia-derived content. Zanhe (talk) 23:30, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Total lack of any sources. I looked through the listed sources and they do not speak of Kwan. Let alone support the paragraphs of text in the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:21, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not sure about actual notability, but the person probably existed, see [1] (in Chinese). Timmyshin (talk) 22:39, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but that's a blog post which claims Kwan was the grandmother of an actor. I haven't been able to find any RS about Kwan herself. -Zanhe (talk) 22:45, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd agree to Delete. Timmyshin (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable, fails WP:BIO JMHamo (talk) 23:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. One of the clear claims of notability is the UNESCO... award. But its ref only says that it went to the OSP@SG project, not to this person and not that this person was key in the project. Overblown claims are a great example of why this autobio needs WP:TNT rather than having to take everything under a microscope to make sure what is here is truly okay.

Delete - There doesn't seem to be enough coverage about the man himself, merely brief mentions. I would have suggested a merge to OSP@SG, but none of the hits I could find discuss his work on the project in great detail. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:39, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A taste of honey tv[edit]

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

Although one could pigeonhole this into an WP:A7, I'd feel more comfortable going about this a bit more thoroughly. The article appears to be about a children's TV show with virtually no coverage that I've been able to find. Based on the author's username, I suspect this article is intended to be purely promotional. --Non-Dropframe _talk 22:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because I cannot find any independent sources to support the show being notable. On a side note for Non-dropframe, it can't be speedy deleted via WP:A7 because creative works such as television programs are explicitly excluded from A7. There are only two sentences that tell us it exists and who the hosts are, so there is nothing "promotional" in there that requires a "fundamental rewrite" per ~~WP:G10~~ WP:G11. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Athomeinkobe, understood. What I meant is that the article, in its current form, is just as much about the hosts as it is anything else so an argument could, in theory, be made that A7 applies. That's why I characterized it as "pigeonholing." Personally, I think A7 or A9 should include things like books, movies, TV shows, etc...but I suppose that's neither here nor there. --Non-Dropframe _talk 01:36, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. I agree with you about expanding A7, but I believe the argument has been made and failed before. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:43, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is one of several articles written by the same person, likely the show's host/creator. I'm in the process of giving her a final warning about creating her own pages and nominating any of the mainspace articles for deletion that haven't already been deleted.

Delete. I can't find anything about this TV show and as far as I can tell from this YT video, this looks like it's a public access TV show. The thing about public access is that it's open to anyone and tends to be on a "first come first serve" basis to anyone that can afford to actually create a show. The IMDb page says that this is filmed in Richmond, Virginia and as a Richmond native, I can say that I've never heard of this show - and the local papers absolutely love writing about things that are filmed here. I do wish them well (especially since they're local), but right now they're just not notable enough for an article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The creator of this article, Honeyazul24 is probably a COI editor; her username closely resembles the name of one of the presenters of the show A taste of honey tv. All of Honeyazul24's contributions lack independent, reliable sources, and this one is no exception. Mduvekot (talk) 13:14, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BLOX City[edit]

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

Seemingly NN product from a NN company. Plenty of connected sources can be found but no in-depth third-party coverage. Looks like a publicity piece from connected contributors. Toddst1 (talk) 22:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BLOX City Article writer's point of view: (Apologies if I'm doing this wrong, this is my first time discussing my POV in an Articles of Deletion page.) There is little third-party sourcing due to the website is not sponsored or merely recognized by any other website. The article was originally deleted for several reasons. I saw that it had been deleted and I had revived the article. As connected contributing goes, I've only told people about the article on BLOX City's Forums (http://www.bloxcity.com/forums) and a few minutes ago I posted on the website's owner's live stream. Which he did indeed view. Every section on the article was created by me over a span of 2 or 3 days I believe. Other users on BLOX City's Forums have fixed spelling errors and one re-worded a paragraph. I just don't see why the person marked it so early, it had been only (estimated) an hour and it was marked for speedy deletion. Thanks for reading this, tell me if you need more information. Pastorma (talk) 22:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Newly created articles that do not meet the general requirements for Wikipedia tend to be discovered and nominated for deletion quickly. I recommend submitting the article for Articles for Creation for a better chance of getting the article approved, and going to The Teahouse or the Help Desk for general editing assistance.

Delete: Not Notable. There is no reliable sources covering the product and it fails WP:GNG. AdrianGamer (talk) 13:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sources are required to be independent to prove notability, and unfortunately there do not appear to be any independent sources at this time (the official website does not count as an independent source). If the game gains more exposure and coverage in independent sources then this article could be recreated. ZettaComposer (talk) 14:02, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update. This article recently gained a secondary source due to my work, which makes it able to be re-evaluated for WP:GNG 76.218.105.99 (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you reread WP:RS and WP:N - the article still has no refs which meet the standard of independent significant coverage - user-editable sites such as bloxcity.wikia.com/ are not considered RS, and a single independent ref is not sufficient to establish notability.Dialectric (talk) 19:50, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update 2. I have again tried to improve this article. I added an infobox w/ logo and details, categorized it, added one independent ref, restructured, gave more info, added references to many things to clean up the article. I think that this article is much more clean now, but it still needs some more independent refs. I'd suggest postponing the deletion of this article as I clean it up some more and find independent sources 76.218.105.99 (talk) 00:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nibiru (proposed planet)[edit]

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

Articles relating to the pseudohistorical planets Nibiru and Tiamat and other factors relating to Zecharia Sitchin's work were redirected to his biographical article years ago until more well-cited information could be found. The current attempt to fork the article (likely unintentional) is little more than original research with one citation to Youtube and another a WP:SYN cite that doesn't mention the topic.

Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata[edit]

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

I have reviewed the sources cited and only this interview (which I can't access) provides in-depth coverage of the subject. I've also looked for other sources but have been unable to find anything better. Unless I've missed something, the multiple in-depth sources requirement of WP:BIO is not met. SmartSE (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found an archived version of that source here and it strengthens my opinion about the lack of notability as the interview is completely self-serving and indicates that the source is not RS (i.e. no fact checking). SmartSE (talk) 19:48, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable blogger and digital marketer. The source that verifies that Agbata has been identified as a digital marketing expert in Nigeria is to an announcement of a panel he was part of. I've been on dozens of panels (and I'm sure many other people have to) and being asked by the panel organizer to participate isn't evidence of notability. Liz ^{Read!

There does not seem to be enough here to pass wp:SOLDIER; the DSO is not a major gong & if he had actually done anything elseother than going to Winchester & Christ Church I would have thougth that it would have been mentioned in the cited Times obit.

Keep - CMG & DSO plus Colonel of a regiment during WWI are suitable to pass notability for solider. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The CMG is not a military honour, and major formations are not commanded by colonels.TheLongTone (talk) 15:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The CMG is a major award, per WP:ANYBIO and Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars is a big enough regiment that a colonel that commanded them during WWI would be worthy of a bio. He's also found in the various Who's Who of the time, which only includes prominent people, but is snippet view only, so I can't link to it. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:50, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It has long been established that the CBE and above are sufficient to meet WP:ANYBIO. The CMG is a higher award so he clearly qualifies. An obituary in The Times is also considered to be sufficient for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:03, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In light of the above I withdraw the nomination, altho it seems a ludicrously low bar; some awards are simply made for "being one of us" & not blotting your copybook. This man seems to have led a life of remarkable dullness; the Times Obit, as I suspected, has nothing to say about him.

Keep, this is a nationally recognized award and there are multiple independent references clearly establishing its notability. I would suggest that the nominator hasn't looked particularly hard when he states the coverage is very limited. Check out the news coverage for starters.

British National Party leadership election, 1999[edit]

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

Article is basically a cut & paste of the opening para of History of the British National Party#Griffin leadership, identity nationalism; nothing of substance has been added, merely some flashy formatting. And there does not seem to be much that can be said about this tiny niche party election that cannot be contained in that article. I initially converted the article to a redirect, but article creator reverted the edit. TheLongTone (talk) 14:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have numerous other articles on political party leadership elections (see e.g. Category:Political party leadership elections in the United Kingdom) including those of the BNP. As it was (at the time) a fairly significant party, I think a leadership election is notable. Number 5 7 20:47, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 20:56, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Regardless of the existence of other articles, and despite the small number of votes in the election, this seems like a notable chapter in the BNP's history with a fair amount of independent scholarly coverage ([2]), so passes the WP:GNG. I've fixed the vote counts in the article and added a source. If it's a cut and paste then it should be tagged as a split rather than deleted. —Nizolan ^(talk) 21:53, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment I don't think notability is the issue here; what I am concerned about is the fact that the article has no real content and I cannot imagine that there is really anything to say about it other than far-right fancruft.TheLongTone (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And having had a look at ([3]) my opinion is not changed. None looks like substantial coverage, merely mentions in the context of BNP history. Confirming my reason for believing this should be deleted.TheLongTone (talk) 14:23, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of content is a WP:SOFIXIT thing, not an argument for deletion (see WP:NOIMPROVEMENT), and the book I added on the article talks about the election in the context of leadership elections in the UK in general. And, generally, one would expect that in academic books a BNP leadership election is largely going to be mentioned in the context of the history of BNP. —Nizolan ^(talk) 07:37, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fanhui chanting[edit]

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

Delete Thanks to JMKR92 for adding more sources to this article, but I still see no evidence of notability. Specifically, the sources cited, with one exception, do not mention the subject, Fanhui chanting; they are about chanting generally. The source that does mention this term by name is a Wordpress blog devoted to Fanhui Chanting and which contains a total of three posts--one of which is about the creation of the Wikipedia page that is in question here. This does not, it seems to me, qualify as evidence of third-party interest. (There's also a citation to a Facebook page with 5 followers, similarly devoted to the subject.) I see no references in books or on the Web to any of the terms introduced here, which is strange for a phenomenon that is supposed to have been around for 6 years. At best what we have here is a very private practice known only to a small circle of associates; at worst, it may be a hoax. Jmatazzoni (talk) 22:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it may not be an blatant or obvious hoax, so WP:G3 probably doesn't apply, but the wordpress post celebrating the creation of this article, referred to as "recognition and the path to victory", the names that yield no search results at all and the reference to the hundi-hundi nights that must take place in complete secrecy, because they're not announced anywhere, even on their own website, make me think that this is a prank. And lastly, there's the recording of a chant performed by the group that leaves little, as they say on their own website, "doubt as to the sincerity of some practitioners of this new form". Mduvekot (talk) 23:31, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the prank question, note also the initiation of novices by "cleansing of all orifices with goat's milk".

The reason why there is not much online resources for more information on Chua Yeow Kee is because he was most active when he was around 20-30 years old which is more than 30 years ago at a time where there was no internet yet, especially in Singapore which only became independant in 1965.

Ref #1: is a press release. Ref #2, 404 error— that aside, I am not convinced that the "leading Persian magazine of western Canada" has sufficient breadth of readership to qualify its content as able to support a notability claim. Ref #3 is a personal PDF file, lacking independence. Ref. #4 does not mention the subject anywhere. Ref #5 appears to be a press release on one of her books written by the publisher, "faripublishing.com". Ref #6 is a link to an Amazon page where her book can be purchased. Ref. #7 does not mention the subject, though it appears it may have originally been a kind of review for a book, in which case it might have been useful for a notability argument for that book, not necessarily for the author (just as the article on Hyperbole and a Half has no corresponding article on its author), and even if it did include that kind of coverage, I am not convinced, based on what I was able to determine from the web site, that the publication is itself a reliable source of information. Lastly, there is no corresponding article on the Persian Wikipedia about her, which leaves us at a dead end. There does not appear to be enough genuine, reliable, independent, non-trivial material here to qualify this person as notable, and failing the appearance of such, I nominate it for deletion.

Strange Little Birds tour[edit]

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

Upcoming concert tour with no indication of notability. WP:NCONCERT specifies that "Concert tours are notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Such coverage might show notability in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms. Sources that merely establish that a tour happened are not sufficient to demonstrate notability." But all that's here is one source establishing that the tour is happening, a list of the venues, and no indication whatsoever of any notability "in terms of artistic approach, financial success, relationship to audience, or other such terms".

Delete. I'm generally skeptical of NOTDICT arguments, as they tend to sweep up stubs or articles that are genuinely about words or phrases. But this article is focused on three (well, two and a half) definitions of the word, so there is no clear non-linguistic topic. And since I can't find books or scholarly articles about the word as such, I don't see hope for an article here. Cnilep (talk) 03:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mm. well it seems to me that there is some indication of it being a notable term in skate/board/surf culture [11] [12] [13] [14] - so further research may well uncover enough resources to write a sensible page on that topic. In my view, however, the page would need a much tighter focus on the use of the term within those subcultures rather than a general dictionary-type definition.

Encyclopedism[edit]

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

This article qualifies for deletions on several points. Firstly, there is only one ref, and that is to a quote; there is no reference to what "encyclopedism" is, or what its history or attributes are, and has had the re-improve tag since 2013; the article reads life a personal reflection or essay on the topic, rather than having an encyclopedic tone; the areas covered by the article are better handled at the articles history of encyclopedias and encyclopedias. Both of these cover what an encyclopedia is and what the history of the encyclopedia is far better and with better references, making this a case of Wikipedia:Duplicate article.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 17:25, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article makes broad claims with no sources. (The nominator gives way too much credit to the article for having 1 source when it's just a bare link without a page numbber to "Pliny's Natural History in 37 Books".) RevelationDirect (talk) 00:21, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Easily passes WP:GNG. Most of the issues seem to be with the current condition of the article, which isn't cause for deletion. The article is in lousy shape, to be sure, but it's a distinct subject with several book-length treatments, edited collections, and countless papers on the subject. Per WP:NEXIST all that matters is that the sources exist -- they don't have to be cited in the article right now. For example:

Literature and Encyclopedism in Enlightenment Britain (Springer)
Encyclopedism from Pliny to Borges (University of Chicago Library)
Johann Heinrich Alsted: Encyclopedism, Millenarianism and the Second Reformation in Germany (Oxford)
The Business of Enlightenment: a publishing history of the Encyclopédie, 1775-1800 (Harvard)
Reading the World: Encyclopedic Writing in the Scholastic Age (UChicago)
Josselin de Jong, P. D., & Vermeulen, H. F. (1850). Cultural anthropology at Leiden University; From encyclopedism to structuralism'. Leiden Oriental Connections, 1940, 280-316.
Grafton, A. (1985). The world of the Polyhistors: Humanism and encyclopedism. Central European History, 18(01), 31-47.
Neurath, O. (1946). The orchestration of the sciences by the encyclopedism of logical empiricism. Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 6(4), 496-508.
Swigger, Ronald T. "Fictional Encyclopedism and the Cognitive Value of Literature." Comparative Literature Studies (1975): 351-366.

I'll stop there unless someone wants more. It's easy to say that encyclopedism and encyclopedias are closely related, of course, just like it's easy to say writing and books are, but these works aren't about the products of encyclopedism or about the encyclopedists -- they're about the process.
If it makes big claims that aren't sourced and you don't want to grab a source, tag the article or individual sentences. For the most egregious parts, remove them.
The current article doesn't offer a lot, which is why I'm not !voting strong keep, and I don't know how much of it I'd save if I were to start working on it (it's admittedly been on my to do list for quite a long time, sadly), but I also don't think anything is accomplished by deleting. It's impoverished; it's not damaging. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep. This is a notable rumor which has been talked about by many news organizations, and, even if Apple never would say something such as "The project is currently undergoing development.", it would still be a notable subject. Take Half-Life 3 for instance; the probably most infamous example of vaporware is a popular rumor (and a confirmed project).

My friend SwisterTwister is confused that this is notable or not. This is notable as whole India knows about this tea so we can say that this is notable. Isn't it ? Thank You

This article is not merging in Brooke Bond as the company Brooke Bond is also owned by Hindustan Unilever. It is describing the product (tea). It is not merging in Brooke Bond as this company has many teas and their head is Hindustan Unilever which has different products like purifiers, teas, soaps and other sanitary, etc. So I can say that this article is not merging in Brooke Bond but we can say that this article is related to it.

A Smerge to Brooke Bond may be justified, but I think WP:TNT applies. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:01, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! This article should not be merged in the article Brooke Bond as their is no information on the products of Brooke Bond In the article Brooke Bond. So if we add information on tea in that article then it seems very odd. In my opinion it is little bit damaging the encyclopedia if we do the same. This product is notable as notable means that someone or something that is important or interesting and we all know that this is important. but we can't say that this is independently notable as it is a product of Brooke Bond. This is not independently notable but then also this should not be merged in the article Brooke Bond as if it is merged than it can be harmful for encyclopedia. This article should not be deleted as the products owned by any company should have their own article for more information. There are also many articles in Wikipedia which are owned by a company like XUV 5OO. It is also a product of Mahindra and so it is also not independently notable then why this question is not put at that product. My conclusion is that in my opinion this article should not be deleted. If you agree with my statement then please comment here and also on my my talk page if you can. Now it is your choice that you want to delete the article or not but please do not destroy the encyclopedia as our main aim is to improve the encyclpedia. Sarthakniar/talk

Chris Steele (journalist)[edit]

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

This article's last line is "Steele is also a hip-hop artist known as Time." The link is to the article Time (rapper). I didn't find any sources about this journalist named Chris Steele, though there are some doctors and sportsman named Chris Steele.

Time (rapper) The lead states that "Steele is also an investigative journalist." Why two articles were created about this guy by the same user after a gap of many years?

Others can decide whether Time (rapper) should be nominated together. Greek Legend (talk) 02:24, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as well stated by the nominator. Arent fails the basic WP:GNG standard, and is not saved by WP:SOLDIER. I agree that the Knight's Cross is most likely a invention by author Franz Kurowski. The lack of verifiability supports this liklihood, See the discussion in the article in the 'Knight's cross" section.

I'd argue that someone who was discovered by the late Helmut Newton, photographed by some of the world's leading photographers, has written 2 best selling books, edited a fashion magazine, run a deli, and is now a company director for a company that manufacturers sanitary products for humanitarian aid is notable.

Comment. Her first book got some coverage: [29], [30], [31], [32]. However, most of these are just beauty tips, a quotation or two from Nixon, and a plug for the book. It's difficult to find articles about her specifically, but part of that may be a lack of digitized sources from the 1960s. I don't have a problem with deletion, but it seems like maybe this could be moved to draft space to give the creator a chance to look for better sources.

Delete - Well, this is an interesting one. Looking at it from the surface, my initial reaction was to think that she OUGHT to be notable at least for her modelling career. However, when I tried to probe further, I really struggled to find sources about her that are suitable. The article is very promotional. I do have to note that this "reference," as quoted: "Joyce Dinsay of the University of the Philippines Baguio school biology department mentions the advice given in Victoria's book "Supermodels' Beauty Secrets" - is just too adorably cute for words.

Websites may perhaps be generally considered unreliable, except when these particular references are examined, they contain firsthand sources and photographs/scans of reliable images, items, and publications. This is not following the totality of the sources used. There are cross-referenced details. Additionally, moving this article to mere draft status will prevent others from building and improving the article. Lastly, it is much easier to criticize and debase something than to correct its shortcomings.--SidP (talk) 04:55, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination rationale doesn't seem to quite reflect the state of the article, which is referenced. And the first book cite does seem to pertain to the central claim, though without hyperlinks we really can't tell what says what. This may be mostly WP:SYNTH -- or perhaps not. This short stub has no less than four references. However, one is to a bulletin to staff at Cornell and another, an "Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance Guide" of uncertain notability. Sand nigger, one of two analogous slurs mentioned, is a redirect to List of ethnic slurs and that is what we could here. ~~Delete or redirect~~ until such time (if ever) that a much more solid case is established that this is a bona fide notable topic. Userfy if requested. And I would encourage Hawaan12 to improve referencing with Gnews and Gbooks results with hypertext links so editors can see what is being offered as support for the article's statements.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article creator has added several references with links. The second, The TV Terrorist: Media Images of Middle Easterners, would most definitely be considered WP:RS. Unlike Mangoe, above, I'm not "doubtful that it is true." The notion that a great many Arabic or 'foreign'-looking people aren't being mislabeled as terrorists at one time or another is willfully ignorant, at best, it seems to me. The question is the truthfulness of the assertions -- which the new refs do verify -- but their notability for the purposes of a standalone article. I'm certainly open to changing my mind on this one and will watch the Afd. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with Shawn in Montreal and I think the willful ignorance being displayed is in bad faith. 'Terrorist' is very frequently used as a pejorative term towards Arabs, particularly in Israel, where the term is applied to virtually all individuals of Arab ethnicity who commit a violent crime (this could be included in the article at some point). At first glance, the references in this article seem to be meet the guidelines for WP:RS, but I'll try to add more and fill out all of the publishing details when I get some free time since notability seems to be the only legitimate concern here. Elspamo4 (talk) 21:43, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see this as unique to the Israel/Palestine conflict, btw. With the reaction to ISIS and Al Qaida attacks against the West, and now the Trump campaign, there may be references from Western sources, too. I don't know. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's unique to the conflict either, I was just throwing out the first example of widespread usage that came to mind after the USA (and I'm referring to usage by media outlets and high ranking officials). I'm not particularly versed in the commonalities of this term in other parts of the world. Here are some examples of what I mean: [33], [34], [35]. The Guardian and the Economist articles contrast how the terms "terrorist" or "terror" are reserved for Palestinians or Arab Israelis since Israel's Defense Ministry has ruled that Jews cannot legally be considered terrorists. The quote by Mohammad Barakeh in The Guardian article is especially noteworthy as he claims that the government's designation of terrorists according to ethnicity is symptomatic of racism. Elspamo4 (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Still, it seems to me that this may be a case of WP:SYNTH, though. It seems to me you're conflating Israeli resistance to calling Jewish terrorists terrorists, and articles about Anti-Arabism or Islamophobia that mention of the fact that Arabs or Muslims maybe branded as terrorists or other derogatory things, beyond this one slur. Both Anti-Arabism and Islamophobia in the United States make mention of the terrorist slur and those articles -- and our readers -- might benefit from improvements to those articles, rather than maintaining this standalone article on a word, indeed, the misuse of a word, per WP:NAD. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:06, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can see your point about my example being SYNTH and more about the misuse of the word. Despite that, there are still some quality references in the article, and I've also found some references through my own research, such as: [36] - "This Article suggests that September 11 facilitated the consolidation of a new identity category that groups together persons who appear "Middle Eastern, Arab, or Muslim," whereby members of this group are identified as terrorists and disidentified as citizens.", [37] and [38]. I don't think we would have to worry about the article being a mere dictionary entry since there are multiple dimensions to the usage of this term (e.g. origins, effects of 9/11 on its usage, usage by country, perpetuation in films). That being said, I would support the merging of this article with either Stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims in the United States or Anti-Arabism as a second choice. As a side note, if the article is kept, it might be better if it was renamed as a stereotype rather than a slur. Elspamo4 (talk) 01:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Berkeley Law paper is very good. Yes, it's more about the stereotype than the word, I can see that. Stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims in the United States would be a good place to expand on this -- though not the only place, surely, as it's not just a U.S. phenomenon, especially following the migrant crisis and ISIS terrorist attacks in Europe. And then as you've pointed out, there's may be a related, regionally distinct (as some might argue, others, not) usage in Israel. So maybe that's an argument for keeping and repurposing/renaming this article as summary of global stereotypes of Arabs/Muslims as terrorists. I've reverted to neutral: this does seem to me to be a notable topic and I'm fine with wherever it's explored. And it's unlikely to ever be in just a single article, anyway. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:37, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Israel for 16 years and never heard someone called an Arab a terrorist as a slur. Taking into account 20% of Arab population with Arabs being members of parliament, serving in army and being withing every aspect of society, I think it's quite defamatory. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 19:21, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is defamatory, towards Arabs, that's rather the point. The article and this Afd now have more than enough WP:RS to establish that this is a widely discussed issue, at the very least. Arguments like 'this never happens/this isn't true' aren't terribly persuasive, no matter how many times they get raised, here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

on the other hand, I did not mean to write "there is" rather than "there may be" usage in Israel. I'm not here to prejudge any of this -- I'm certainly no expert. So I have changed that. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And on the other hand I never wrote "this never happens/this isn't true", but "I didn't hear it". I've looked thru most of the links and they either for a lawsuit, filed by individual or a personal opinions or even blogs. There is no any independent source, talking about such slur as a widespread one and I believe to call it slur it has to be widespread. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:00, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Berkeley Law article (and others) refer to an Arab-as-terrorist "stereotype," which if so, goes beyond an individual author's belief. You know what, I'm going to change my !vote somewhat to do not delete. I'm not sure what the fate of this should be, but this line of argument is rather meritless, imo. Sorry. There's now enough RS to establish that different published authors are talking about something that exists, regardless of what you saw or heard in your 16 years in Israel. And indeed, this isn't limited to Israel/Palestine. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it does so as an ethnic stereotype. To keep this page, we would need disscussions of this word ("terrorist" used as a slur, and specifically as an ethnic (not religious) slur.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:16, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I'm late in responding but I don't see a huge difference in whether it's a "slur" or an "ethnic stereotype." It seems to me that's a quibble over terminology, not notability. Indeed, a rename that changes the disambiguation from "slur" to something more aligned with "stereotype" would seem to me to be a fine idea, if kept. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:03, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - good sourcing. per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 18:09, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per WP:SYNTH. Sourcing is not sufficient to support an encyclopedia-worthy discussion of this word as an ethnic slur. See my search on terrorist + ethnic slur (https://www.google.com/search?q=terrorist+++%22ethnic+slur%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) I dug a long way down that search without finding substantive discussions. Sources in article do support ethnic stereotyping, but they are not formal or in-depth discussions of this word being used as an ethnic slur. Sourcing on the page is largely from paltry sources, including blogs. E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It seems encyclopedic to me since google books search returns with keywords such as ethnic slur ([39]) have thousand+ results in a detailed manner that goes beyond ordinary dictionary results.

Keep - Per WP:GNG. Significant coverage exists on this article subject, and definitely passes WP:GNG. Sure, the article isn't perfect and could maybe use some love, but that's irrelevant to the AFD process; it's about identifying notability using external research. And this is a clear pass in my book. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:09, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm redacting my vote, as arguments for deletion per WP:SYN and WP:NEO are making me take a step back. I also believe that, looking back on the "sources" I found, they don't appear to meet WP:GNG.

E.M.Gregory - I've changed my vote to delete after taking a second pass and re-evaluating my original reasons. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that these 2 comments miss the fact that sourcing would need to exist for use of the word "terrorist" as an an ethnic slur. sources on ethnic slurs are as irrelevant as sources on the accusation that Middle Eastern ethnicity is conflated by some with terrorism. We cannot keep an article about an ethnic slur unless we have evidence of extensive, secondary source discussions of the term being used as a slur.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:02, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - After taking time to perform a second pass, review policies and guidelines, and re-evaluate my original rationale for the input I originally made above, I have come to agree with others here that WP:NEO and WP:SYN both apply in this particular case. On top of that, WP:GNG is far from met - I couldn't find much at all that comes even close (I honestly don't know what I was thinking originally). Adding this vote to replace the first one (above) that I've now redacted. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:54, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Revisiting the sourcing The first 3 sources on the page are blogs. The 4th alleges that Middle easterners are stereotyped as terrorists, but not that they are called "terrorist." That is true of all the rest of the sources on the page, with the exception of sources 7, 8, 9, and 10 cite individual examples in which an individual was called, or alleged that he had been called, a "terrorist." They do not prove that the occurrence of this usage is widespread (it may be, I don't know, but 4 instances and/or allegations cannot support an article.) What we need to be able to keep this article, and what I have not found, are reliable sources - journalism or scholarship - discussing the use of this word as an ethnic slur.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:50, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, No redirect Delete as synthesis. A few uses also does not make for notability. A slur it may be, but it is not an "ethnic slur", and is not specific to any particular ethnicity. It has been applied to a variety of ethnicities, including some Irishmen.

Keep -- I've had a look around and I have found some refs that seem to support it being notable. Sadly some the refs that are currently used to support the article don't appear to be satisfactory. That means more work! Not sure I really want to spend time to save this one. I do think it should stay but it needs more work. Perhaps the observation about the COI editor is true. That doesn't make it less notable. So I hope someone else comes in and helps to improve.
I will add that there are 206,514 Adventists in In California, which means a healthy viewing audience in the state alone. There is a regular references to the network and related info in various books and magazines etc Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 11:41, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  The Loma Linda Broadcasting Network started 10 years ago as the brainchild of four residents with technical backgrounds and a common vision -- a voice to share the primarily Seventh-day Adventist community's spiritual and health message with the rest of the world.
  They received an outpouring of community support -- each volunteer and supporter with their own vision -- until the network came together as one.
  After gaining their 501(c)(3) status as an official nonprofit organization providing an hour of programming to the community, they shot their shows for almost a decade from borrowed rooms in local churches and various locations throughout Loma Linda University.
  The network now provides 14 programs weekly, spanning 65 hours of renewed programming a week, which is replayed to correspond with the varying time zones throughout North, Central and South America, via satellite. Ten years later, it seemed appropriate for them to have a place to call home.
  On July 8, the network celebrated its 10th year with the opening of its new 3,000-square-foot facility at Mayberry and Main streets in Bryn Mawr. It is a symbol of achievement for several hundred volunteers, who dedicated their weekends and evenings over the past 17 months to build the network headquarters, which features five sound stages, and control, editing, green and viewing rooms.

  The Loma Linda Broadcasting Network was on the air from its studio in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood when a pager carried by one of its technicians went off.
  It was a text message from an alarmed viewer who had lost the signal. In Iran.
  "We thought he was joking," recalled the station's president and CEO, Ganim Hanna. "We ran to the control room and sure enough, the Internet stream had been interrupted. We reactivated it."
  The television station, situated in a former citrus-packing house, has grown from a tiny, one-room operation that could accommodate only 10 viewers at a time a decade ago to a worldwide network that soon will be available to more than 1.5 billion people in 194 countries.
  Its budget has gone from the red - "At first we had to pay for everything out of our own pockets," Hanna says - to $1.2 million a year. The money comes from viewer contributions, many of them unsolicited, in return for 24-hour-a-day health and science programs laced with generous doses of Christian messages.

  LOMA LINDA - When Ganim Hannah had the idea to start a Christian television station six years ago, he couldn't imagine it would grow to reach a potential audience of millions.
  But it has.
  The Loma Linda Broadcasting Network, a nonprofit entity run entirely by volunteers, has recently switched to a 24-hour-a day, seven-day-a-week schedule and is now beaming its signal via satellite, extending its reach to an internatinoal audience.
  "This is a true ministry for the people, by the people,' said Hannah, 45, president and chief executive officer of the network.
  Prompted by the lack of family programming and negative images on cable and network television, Hannah began to explore the idea of starting an independent Christian network.
  In 1997, the Loma Linda resident founded Loma Linda Broadcasting Network, or LLBN.
  Hannah designed the network to provide viewers with a positive alternative to current programming, with an emphasis on faith and healthy living.

  A dedication service of for the network's building this Sunday will also mark that milestone along with the network's anniversary.

Comment I thank Cunard for digging up these articles; unfortunately, they fail WP:AUD. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 06:11, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Additionally, source #3 fails WP:SIGCOV. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 06:17, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says (my bolding):
  The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local (as in - with a circulation limited to a single city or metropolitan area) media, or media of limited interest and circulation (such as trade journals), is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
  The Press-Enterprise is a regional newspaper. It serves the Inland Empire, a region in Southern California. The San Bernardino Sun is also a regional newspaper; it "serves most of the Inland Empire in Southern California. The geographic circulation area of the newspaper spans from the border of Los Angeles/Orange Counties to the west, east to the Arizona State line, north to the Imperial County line, and south to the Riverside City line."
  Therefore, Loma Linda Broadcasting Network meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience.
  Cunard (talk) 06:36, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Redlands paper is clearly eliminated by WP:AUD (which, I think, you have implicitly admitted by not including it in your comment). That leaves us with the P-E and the Sun. Let's take a look at that guideline again:

attention solely from local (as in - with a circulation limited to a single city or metropolitan area) media *** is not an indication of notability

Both the P-E and the Sun clearly fit the criteria of local media. Their circulation is limited to the Inland Empire, a metropolitan area in Southern California. "Regional" in the context of the guideline refers to regions larger than one metropolitan area. With the three remaining sources failed, there is no more argument that the topic is notable. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 07:31, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)#Additions of metropolitan newspapers and trade journals to WP:AUD reverted where I have mentioned your comment here, I have reverted an 9 October 2015 edit to the guideline that changed it from:

The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, national, or international source is necessary.

I don't see a consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)/Archive 15#Local vs. regional media and Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)/Archive 15#Are trade magazines/portals acceptable? to make the changes to bar metropolitan area newspapers and all trade journals from establishing notability.

I consider metropolitan area newspapers like The Press-Enterprise and The San Bernardino Sun to be regional newspapers because they serve the Inland Empire, a region in Southern California. It should not be necessary for a metropolitan area newspaper to have to serve more than one region to be considered a regional newspaper.

Cunard (talk) 05:04, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While the P-E and the Sun may claim to serve a large area, most of the "Inland Empire", as they define it, is uninhabited desert. In reality, they cover Riverside and San Bernardino respectively, both medium-sized suburbs of Los Angeles. I agree that "regional" papers should not be outright barred, however, I do not believe the specific ones under discussion are examples of "regional" papers that would establish notability on their own. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 21:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inland Empire says based on the source http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/metro_general/2006/CBSA-EST2006-02.csv:

The U.S. Census Bureau-defined Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metropolitan area, which comprises Riverside County and San Bernardino County, California, covers more than 27,000 square miles (70,000 km²) and has a population of approximately 4 million.

I consider a newspaper that covers this area and population to be a regional newspaper.

Cunard (talk) 05:04, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, good info there Cunard. There's some proof in there that the Loma Linda Broadcasting Network is notable to have an article here. Also I'd like to add that there is an audience that is wider than the state. Adventists in other states access the network. I'm standing by my vote to keep the article as well. Also more work needs to be done on the article. It can be kept here and with others participation improved over time. Karl Twist (talk) 12:07, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"It has a large audience" or "It can be improved" are irrelevant to notability. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 20:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As you'll see a few sections down, the boundaries and definitions of the so-called region are amorphous and poorly defined, due to the large parts of the MSA that are unpopulated desert. I maintain that the papers you are citing do not meet the WP:AUD threshold. The language you cite from their self-description is promotional puffery. In reality, they are local papers. Assuming arguendo that they do, however, three local newspaper articles do not meet the general notability threshold in this case. It seems to me that this discussion is going in circles, so we will just have to agree to disagree. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 20:08, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability, WP:prof not met. No secondary coverage. No independent references. There are a number (10-15) research papers to which he has contributed but this is typical for a research professor. MB (talk) 04:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Nee responds. I disagree with the description of me as a 'typical' research professor. My complete publication list includes far more than 10-15 research papers including at least ten in the world's top scientific journals like Nature and Science. These are all readily available on Web of Science, Google Scholar and my cv on my academia.edu page. There are some listings of my papers that are incomplete over which I have no control. Having worked closely with two of the foremost scientific minds of ecological and evolutionary biology in the 20th Century, Robert May and John Maynard Smith, I occupy a place in the history of science.

Sean Nee: nobody has said that you are unworthy of an article. They have said, above, that the article in its current state does not provide evidence (in the form of citations establishing your notability) that you are worthy of an article. Maproom (talk) 06:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - clearly meets WP:NACADEMICS "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work" his google scholar record shows a total citation count of 9000, of which the most highly cited paper has 650 citations. This is a substantial piece entirely about him in the Edinburgh Evening News. I have to question whether the nominator followed the instructions at WP:BEFORE, as these sources were not difficult to find. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 15:30, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did find the article in the Edinburgh Evening News. It reports on his drug/alcohol addiction. This is not in-depth coverage about his notability as a scholar. I did not consider this as relevant; there was only passing mention of his academic career. Sean Nee does not mention addiction, and that would not contribute to notability anyway. This leaves WP:NACADEMICS. I found nothing to satisfy any of Criterion 2-9. Notability depends entirely on being the author of "highly cited academic work". Since this is a subjective measure, I of course will accept the consensus on this. I will also note that the subject created the article himself which is strongly discouraged (WP:AUTO) and has commented above that he is noteworthy. I find lobbying for your own notability is a COI and an indication that you probably aren't noteworthy. The subject also says that "he has a page" here. This is Wikipedia, not Linked-in.

The recent news stories linked above give some color to the article but I think per WP:BLP that they would be better omitted; his past addictions are not what makes him notable.

Not a big deal, I don't mind if it's deleted, but as a new user here's my rationale for considering this issue notable: After Lot Whitcomb brought his family down the Oregon Trail and founded the city of Milwaukie in 1847, he became its first post master 3 years later in order to serve the ~500 residents. I assume at this point that the city was recognized by the federal government as unique from its northern neighbor, Portland, which was settled in 1845. At some point over the next century and a half (I cannot find a record of this event), the Postal Service elected to consider Milwaukie as part of Portland for the convenience of postal delivery, even though it was its own legal entity with its own postal customers. This act removed a practical recognition of Milwaukie's autonomy from Portland, and today Milwaukians are requested by the USPS to identify their selves and businesses as located in Portland, Multnomah County "whenever possible" even though they live and work in Milwaukie, Clackamas County. Residents of north Clackamas County adhere to societal ways that are different from those of Portlanders, and the federal government's small concession of allowing them to self-identify as non-Portlanders would be appreciated by the community. -Calebjbaker (talk) 06:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The lead asserts that he was an M.P. like his father, which would be an automatic pass under WP:POLITICIAN, but the obituary notice from the Illustrated London News does not mention parliament, so we are left with the question of whether his stint as Lord Mayor of Norwich or any other position passes that standard; I suspect that under current readings, it does not. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the article is currently questionable enough and there being no better convincing signs. SwisterTwister talk 04:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I suspect the mistake is due to him being recorded in his notice of death (e.g. in The Times) as "the son of the late Sir Samuel Bignold, MP for Norwich,..." That's been taken to read that he was an MP, whereas it's actually saying his father was. It seems clear that Charles never was an MP. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Add comment. A more detailed obituary was printed in a variety of financial publications, asserting that he was "one of the foremost and most popular of the men of Norwich" (see also [41][42][43]) but I don't see anything there that seems likely to meet current notability standards here, assuming that Lord Mayor of Norwich isn't the sort of position that conveys notability. (I note that our article about Norwich states, "though now simply a ceremonial position, in the past the office carried considerable authority, with executive powers over the finances and affairs of the city council.") We might consider redirecting to the article about his father, where he is already mentioned. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:18, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added him to the List of Lord Mayors of Norwich, for what it's worth. My feeling is that he was notable, but there simply isn't enough remaining coverage for an article. I tried searching various things like Who Was Who and didn't find anything. Redirecting to his father's article might be a good idea. Also no prejudice to recreating the article if someone digs up fresh sources. —Nizolan ^(talk) 17:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – If I'm interpreting this correctly, they're head of the Shiv Sena party organization in Parbhani district, which, in lieu of any significant press coverage, makes them a non-notable local politician per WP:POLITICIAN.
