David Metzler[edit]

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

Upon first glance of a search of Metzler, it doesn't yield much outside of a few items. Sure he produced "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" for which he won an Emmy and PGA Award for, currently produces "Catfish: The TV Show," and won an Environmental Media Award for "The Lazy Environmentalist." But outside of that, he doesn't seem notable. Who ever created the article didn't bother adding any information or sources. Looking at the edit history, in nearly four years of the article page being around no progress has been made to get the article to a suitable point in which it shows notability of said person. Looking at Golfer1000x's talk page, they have recieved a couple of AfD notices, but nothing can be found in regards to that.

delete per nom the NYT source is good, but I'm not sure we can swing a BLP on a single source.

International Living[edit]

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

Notability: sufficient in-depth RS coverage cannot be found. Previous AfD closes as keep; however, only one source was presented, which does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG. The article has been extensively edited by apparent COI accounts (followed by reverts), so potential for further WP:PROMO time sink exists. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:32, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect Personally I don't see that WP:GNG or WP:NCORP are established by the references in the article itself. However, with consideration to the previous AfD discussion (which seemed to establish notability on the basis of sources not actually mentioned or linked in the article), one imagines the 2 sentences in the stub could be merged/redirected to the Agora, Inc. article (erstwhile parent company?), or Bill Bonner (author) article (founder?), or a similar article. Personally I'd add a "publications" section to the Bill Bonner (author) article, merge the 2 sentences into that section, and make the source article a redirect. Per nominator, what little (non promo) content that might be added here wouldn't seem to warrant a standalone article. Guliolopez (talk) 10:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment-- a Redirect / Merge to Bill Bonner (author) would be an acceptable solution, as he's the primary driver behind the publication. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:35, 15 September 2016 (UTC) Strike comment per discussion below. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see the significant coverage required for this to exist. The magazine fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. I'm agnostic to a redirect but I don't think it should be merged. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not mentioned in Bill Bonner (author) article, and {{R to article without mention}}s should be avoided, although it seems that he has higher influence on this topic than The Agora. If this is to be redirected, neither target would be more suitable than the other, so delete. SST flyer 16:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cambridge South railway station[edit]

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

Contested WP:PROD. Concern was: sources talk only of feasibility studies; there are no firm proposals, no money has been allotted, nothing is certain. Most importantly, no contracts for construction have been signed. A Google search turns up very little that isn't about Cambridge railway station plus the word "south" out of context.

Delete (and articles on any other proposed stations) per WP:CRYSTAL. The view has been taken in the past that it may be legitimate to have a single article on a proposed transport infrastructure scheme, but articles on individual stations are premature until the scheme is under construction, or (at worst) has been fully funded and has all requisite approvals, so that it is reasonably certain that it will actually be built. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:17, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per above. Until it's actually under construction I would say this runs afoul of WP:CRYSTAL. Mattximus (talk) 23:20, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per lack of good sourcing, and this currently reads like a promo piece Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:59, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lack of reliable sources is especially problematic for BLPs, which essentially require an abundance of reliable, in-depth, third-party sources. Additionally, it seems that someone claiming to be the subject of the article has been requesting that we remove her date of birth from the article, apparently because of age discrimination in her industry, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a professional casting database; the best solution, if this actress's biography cannot be reliably sourced, is not to selectively cut out encyclopedic information -- it's to delete the article.

An unremarkable adult actress; significant RS coverage cannot be found. The subject does not meet PORNBIO as the awards are scene-related or fan-based.

The article was discussed at AfD in 2007 with the decision to keep, based on 200+ films and AVN award nominations. PORNBIO has been tightened since then and I believe this article can be revisited. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:06, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -as fails PORNBIO & GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 01:37, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The defeat of the AFD back in 2007 is one of many decisions in 2007 that were unwise and that have given Wikipedia a very poor reputation as to how it treats women, generally as objects of male gaze valued for their ability to attack such as opposed to as human beings. It was called a "bad faith" nomination even though people supporting deletion rightly pointed out a lack of reliable sources. It is high time that pornographic actress bios be held to standard GNG rules, and this one comes no where near meeting such rules, and should be deleted with all deliberate speed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:09, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Very weak keep. Should be renamed List of hosiery brands, though, and added to, but it seems like a meh navigational page (most "list of [product category] brands"). There are plenty of sources for lists of sock/hosiery brands to justify WP:LISTN. Not redundant to the category per WP:NOTDUP. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:49, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning Delete -- the PROMO issues have been addressed, but it still seems redundant to Category:Hosiery brands. Since the main contributor was most likely a COI editor,I'm not sure who would maintain or expand the list. The category seems sufficient. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:22, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. I can't find any evidence of notability. Adam9007 (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's a tight definition of notability if you don't consider a radio program that airs on multiple stations across the United States as notable.

Syndication to multiple stations is technically a valid notability claim per WP:NMEDIA, if it's properly sourced to reliable source coverage about the program. It is not, however, a freebie that allows a program to keep an unsourced article just because syndication is asserted — as with all Wikipedia notability claims, it's not the mere assertion of passing a notability criterionthat passes the notability criterion, but the depth and quality of the sourcing that can be provided to support the notability claim. So until real reliable source coverage in real media can actually be shown, notability is not satisfied.

WP:INSIGNIFICANCE and a Wikipedia search on the topic refutes your claim that the topic is insignificant.
Desktop Virtualization states, "Forrester Research identified in its report the Forrester Wave on Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops (VDI), Q3 2015 [3] the seven most significant software providers, being Citrix, Dell, LISTEQ, Microsoft, Nimboxx, Oracle, and VMware." Unscintillating (talk) 23:35, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Analyst firms, including Forrester, do not have a reputation for fact checking. These reports are based on briefings by the companies in questions; the firms do not independently do their analysis. I would not consider "named as one of 7 providers in a niche market by an industry analyst firm" to be sufficient for establishing encyclopedia notability. Forrester in this case is not RS, and it may be a primary source; I believe that's how reports and monographs are treated, being self-published by Forrester in this case. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:41, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:PROMO and WP:TNT - " It has been described as "...the world’s leading provider of Collections Management systems and services."" in the intro, and the cite is to a reprinted press release.

It would need a rewrite with each and every claimed good-looking source directly verified as actually backing the claim - David Gerard (talk) 10:13, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How about we take out the promo quote and rely in the Hart and Hallett article and the numerous albeit brief references from organisations that use the software, to show notability? It may be a specialist proprietary software, but given its extensive role in museums and galleries, and in comparison to some of the more obscure relational databases listed here, I would have thought it was an appropriate candidate to keep with a bit more editing of the article.Garyvines (talk) 13:30, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and I myself had commented Delete at the first AfD, this in fact is still in and of itself an advertisement because it only focuses with what the company wants to say about itself, and the sources equally show this in that they are not convincing either.

but the Hart and Hallett article, and the others cited above by me, are not advertising, while the large number of museums and galleries using the software is demonstrated by the numerous references from those organisations - i.e. they don't come from the company.Garyvines (talk) 01:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As I said earlier, on the basis of Gary Vines' material here. Clearly documented as a leader in its field. The documentation meets the GN, and arguments that it does not amount to quibbling. If you really try hard enough, its possible to attack almost any source whatever, Ref 40 in particular isa very helpful 3rd party published source. In any case, leader in its field is indeed a better standard of suitability for a WP article than the arbitrary standard of GNG--it sayssomething about thr RW. I've rarely !voted to delete and article that shows that if the status is worldwide, and rarely if even if it is a major country. It has a little content that is a bit the promotional side, which I'm in the process of adjusting. DGG ( talk ) 17:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete some, keep some - Most of these "rivalries" are trivial, per the nom. But others are not. To say that the Rangers and Bruins never had a genuine rivalry shows ignorance of the teams' histories at least throughout the 70s and perhaps early 80s, when they met in the Stanley Cup finals once and in the late rounds of the playoffs other times, there were controversial trades between the teams, and the rivalry got so intense it spilled into a fight between players and fans in the stands. Beyond that, the statement that "the two teams played one another yearly but so do other teams" is nonsensical, since the Bruins and Rangers are both original 6 teams that for 40 years played each other more than a dozen times a year, plus potential playoff meetings, including another Stanley Cup final. I don't think the rivalry between the Canadiens and Rangers has been as intense over the years, but these are also teams that have played each other for 90 years, including 40 during the 6 team era, and have many playoff series and at least one Stanley Cup final. I am more on the fence with the Penguins; the Rangers and Penguins have been division rivals on and off and during the early 90s in particular the rivalry became quite intense. So I would say keep Bruins and Canadiens, possibly keep Penguins, and delete the rest. Of course my keep votes are contingent on these articles being improved - they are sketches now but they are brand new so they deserve an opportunty to be expanded. Rlendog (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Agreed, but Rangers-Bruins rivalry has been. Here a whole book about the 1970s portion of the rivalry. Here is article about the rivalry from the New York Times. Here is a short article describing a portion of the history of this rivalry. Here is another article that discusses the history of Rangers-Bruins with some depth, with quotes such as "There have been times, however, when this rivalry was red-hot" and "During the late ’60s and into the ’70s, the rivalry was renewed in full." And notability is not temporary. Here is an article discussing Rangers-Bruins as one of the Rangers' best rivalries (Canadiens and Penguins are also here, not very surprisingly). Here is another article with some information about the Rangers-Bruins rivalry in the context of the overall Boston/New York sports rivalry. There is a lot more in depth coverage of this rivalry than that between the vast majority of pairs of teams. Even if this isn't enough (and I think it is more than enough), there is no way this should be discussed in the same context of non-entities such as Rangere-Mighty Ducks or Rangers-Whalers. Obviously the article needs improvement but since it only was created a few days ago there should be time for that before deleting. Rlendog (talk) 21:30, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. But the multiple sources I listed in my reply to DJSasso are all RSes, and just the ones that were easily found on the first few Google pages.

Searching a little further on the internet, this book goes on for several pages on the Rangers-Bruins rivalry in the early 1970s. The end of this article has several paragraphs on their rivalry in the late 1930s/early 1940s. This article does add a tremendous amount but does breifly describe the teams "Old Rivalry" prior to that. Rlendog (talk) 12:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And this book couches the Brad Park-Bobby Orr rivalry within the context of the 1970s Rangers-Bruins rivalry.

Their games were high-strung and frantic, often laced with fights and tough checking by both teams. When they met in ..." so there is clearly some information about that rivalry here, albeit hard to determine how much. this book states that this rivalry "had reached a fever pitch and got even steamier after Park decideed to write his autobiography" and continues for a few paragraphs discussing the rivalry, including the trade of Park to Boston (and also indicates that Park's autobiography contains relevant information to this rivalry. Sure a blog is not a reliable source, but I only used that as a piece that explicitly compared the Rangers-Bruins rivalry to the Rangers-Penguins. Dismissing the blog does not address the actual evidence from reliable sources that the Bruins-Rangers rivalry is notable. 12:44, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

FWIW, I'm fine with removing the Bruins-Rangers article from the nomination, but some work needs to be done with it, clearly, or it should be deleted as empty.

Rename to Dinah Elizabeth Pearce. The present name implies that her father was an earl or above. Strictly she was Dinah Elizabeth, Lady Pearce. We do not normally include Sir in article titles, except baronets where the baronetcy is also part of her title. This should be applied to the wives of knight and baronets in the same way: they did not hold the title in their own right, only by marriage. However, inclusion in a one-volume biographical dictionary published by a university press ought to be sufficient evidence of her notability. I accept that we normally apply that rule to DNB and ODNB in UK, but we should not be too strict in that. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A very quick Google search shows she appears to be notable independently of her husband in several ways: as founder of the Pearce Institute -- now recognised as an important community centre for Glasgow eg [2]; as a pioneer in women's representation on Scottish School Boards (preprint at blacklisted site) and in association with the "Fresh Air Fortnight" scheme [3]. I note this article was created as part of an initiative to address gender imbalance in coverage of Scottish women, which has received press coverage in the Scottish press: [4] -- this article states "Among other work was creating pages for others including Lady Dinah Elizabeth Pearce from Govan who founded the Pierce Institute and other organisations such as the Women's Peace Crusade and Glasgow Women's Housing Association." There are far too many Google hits under "Lady Pearce", "Dinah Pearce", "Dinah Elizabeth Pearce" &c to sort through them all properly, and doubtless offline sources also exist. Espresso Addict (talk) 15:05, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We will increase the coverage of Scottish women by writing articles about he ones who are actually notable, not the one who engage in minor local events--as the article truthfully says-- merely because of their husbands social position. It's not exactly a case of inherited notability, because I doubt he would be notable either. Minor country gentlemen & women are not usually, though they customarily do engage in local charities and receive the routine press coverage. As for the initiative, you are now claiming notability for the subject of a WP article because a newspaper wrote an article about the editathon where the article was written, and mentioned this article as one of those created there. DGG ( talk ) 20:47, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...you are now claiming notability for the subject of a WP article because a newspaper wrote an article about the editathon where the article was written, and mentioned this article as one of those created there. No, I am not; I am merely mentioning this embarrassing situation, in case anyone cares to contact the people involved, as well as quoting an article that suggests Pearce might have founded two other organisations, for which my back-of-the-envelope search found no better evidence. As to her husband, if you had actually read any of the sources, he unimpeachably meets the notability requirements as an MP, if for no other reason. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Claim to notability is being the wife of a MP and founder of a un-notable institute. Most of her "bio" page on the Pearce website, which says "Although overshadowed historically by her husband, Lady Pearce was nevertheless held in extremely high regard by the people of Govan.", is taken up by a poem by a "local resident". If a similar article were made of a modern person with this kind of sources it would be quickly deleted. BigGuy88 (talk) 06:28, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Old Rajans Scouts Association[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

the first AfD decision was that this and related articles were to be merged, 3 1/2 years ago, ~~this was never done~~(the mergers were only completed for 3 small articles out of a total of 6 articles on this same topic) and there continues to be pushback on completing the mergers. Standalone, it is not notable and Scouting WPMOS does not support articles of this nature. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

merge this and 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group to Lake View Park International Scout Centre-It is highly unlikely that any "Old Scouts Association" will be notable. I do not think there are any. It is also unlikely that articles about Scout Groups or Scout Troops will be notable, although there are a few. 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group is the article about the Scout Group that these old Scouts come from. It also is not notable. What has been considered notable is the running of several international camps that have been mentioned in the press. However, these events are help at Lake View Park International Scout Centre which is owned by this Scout Group. So we actually have three articles all related to one Scout Group. The sources are essentially talking about this camp and the events held there. There should be only one. I suggest that we keep Lake View Park International Scout Centre and merge the other two there. This was proposed in the earlier AfD. There have been several attempts to clarify this issue, but they have all been supported by editors with no relationship to this Group and opposed by the local editors. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chris troutman, being the first out of a nationality, gender or ethnic group to accomplish something is often an indicator of notability. Being the first blonde person to fly across the Atlantic is not. However, the first Swedish person (who may or may not be blonde) to fly across the Atlantic would be. Hope that clears that up.

@Megalibrarygirl: As I've said: "I don't AGF on sources offhand when it comes to AfD. That's no one's policy but mine as I think SIGCOV is fine until we have to decide between keeping and deleting. I might on occasion let a single source I can't read slip by on a GA nom or even at AfC but I can't allow a pile of unverified-by-me content to change my !vote. You claim "being the first out of a nationality, gender or ethnic group to accomplish something is often an indicator of notability" but I see no evidence for this. Granted, the media will often make a big deal out this sort of thing since they're trying to publish and get eyeballs but WP:N does not say that we use quotas to include people for whatever reason. You can, of course, have your own opinion about notability. I just don't think it appropriate. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Chris troutman, I thought you were going off your own interpretation of AGF and AfD conduct. Thanks for clearing that up. She passes GNG whether or not she's a "first." Furthermore, I'm not going off my opinion of notability, it's pretty well laid out here on Wiki. She is, however, a first, if others want to look to that. Please read the article which I edited and added some RS which can be accessed online: she's the first female graduate of Fisk. It's in the first paragraph.

Neutral comment: I looked at the page view stats out of curiosity, and found something interesting. From 7/1/2015 -to 5/22/2016 there were an average of four readers viewing the page per day.[5] From 5/24/2016 to 9/24/2016 there were an average of thirty six readers viewing the page per day.[6] Page views simply jumped by a factor of nine on 5/23/2016! So I investigated. On that day an IP updated all of the figures, added Australian football, and created five appropriate Also links from this article to other Sports_List articles, and added matching See Also links from those articles back to this article.[7] On that day there was also a spike of 166 software-spider page views.[8] The software-spider page views was probably one or more search engines investigating this page, based on the newly created inbound See Also links pointing to it.

Because it's just silly lawyering from people who take the Wiki rules way too seriously.

For those that care, I think it's safe to say that the editor may be choosing to ignore all rules that prevent Wikipedia from being better. I tend to agree, lists can have a good place.

Please note - WP:LISTCRUFT, point 11, rules against this type of list as it is almost always going to be out of date. Since the article is only referring to the 'latest season', it is actually already out of date as it is referring to 2015-16 when we have already started 2016-17 in a lot of sports. Also, it gives no reason for its discrimination. For example, why doesn't the list also give the top 10 attendances for handball, rugby union, rugby league, water polo, volleyball etc.? There is no clear reason why the current sports are chosen and why others aren't. Spiderone 09:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please note This is silly to the point of being idiotic. The list is not "out of date" at all — the list is simply AS OF the last full season for the teams in question.

To elaborate on this point a little. if the list was of record attendences it would have more of a claim because it wouldn't be immediately out of date, it would only be incomplete. this list as it stands is both constantly out of date and incomplete. => Spudgfsh (Text Me!) 10:13, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Back to the previous point, firstly, it is going to be out of date next season in any case. Does this mean all the current data gets scrapped and replaced with new data next season? The article doesn't make it clear which season it's really even talking about. If this topic really is notable then it probably should be done on a season per season basis rather than just binned and then reincarnated every time the season changes.

This article fails to establish notability. Nothing shows any reason for the topic to be covered outside of Lucy Does a TV Commercial. TTN (talk) 14:00, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Since TTN has recently complained when I've listed bare links in AfDs, I'm not going to bother this time: The above 'find sources' news, newspapers, books, and scholar links each show dozens of presumably independent RS links, which even in their snippets call the subject skit (which I've never seen) 'Iconic'. I'll note the article already appears to have two independent RS'es, apparently already meeting the GNG when nominated. Merging a notable element into its parent media, but that's a subject for regular editing and talk-page consensus building, not AfD. Jclemens (talk) 16:02, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The grand majority of anything you're going to find is completely within the context of the single episode in which it appeared, including the two sources in the article. There is nothing showing that the single plot element is indpendtly notable outside of the episode. The episode itself is certainly notable and this is just one part of it. As this current article is simply a plot regurgitation, there is nothing that needs to be merged, so deletion and then a new redirect is the best option. Only if the main article becomes overly bloated on information on this topic should it be split out.TTN (talk) 17:39, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, of COURSE it is. But it's apparently a memorable episode in a memorable show, as others have observed. You realize you argue contradictory things in different AfDs, TTN? It's only one episode, here, but when another fictional element is so well known from multiple places that no one feels compelled to explain it when they write about it, you criticize that as trivial coverage. Again, I'm not a Lucille Ball fan, never seen the episode in question, so I'm a terrible person to make an argument about how important it is or isn't; all I can do is judge by the number and scope of the coverage. Jclemens (talk) 19:56, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is one aspect about why the episode itself is notable. It is a one-time thing featured in that episode and is always mentioned within the context of the episode. It is not something like Monty Python where the skits were mainly self-contained and could be performed separately at different works. Anything that can reasonably be mentioned about the topic is within the context of the episode, so it currently belongs in the episode. Should the impossible happen and the article becomes too bloated, then and only then should the topic be split out. TTN (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lucy Does a TV Commercial, with no objection to merging anything merge-worthy. It has negligible notability outside the context of the TV episode, and should be covered in that context. (WP:MERGEREASON #4) Alsee (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- All fictional elements are only notable within the framework in which they are mentioned. We spin them out when the coverage would unbalance the article on that particular framework. Jclemens (talk) 19:56, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the Lucy episode. I don't have no 'splaining to do, as it has already been done. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural speedy close In this diff, the nominator attempts to redirect the article, which shows that this is a nomination intended to circumvent the proper forum for discussion on the talk page, and use AfD people instead of the content experts who should be making this decision. In the lieu of proper closing of the AfD, I recommend a "keep", as WP:BEFORE D1 shows that this topic has plenty of sources, and is clearly differentiated from the episode. IMO, some material from the episode article moved here would benefit both articles. I've seen the episode twice, so I may not be neutral as I've enjoyed the memories here.

List of attendance figures at football clubs and leagues[edit]

This list is highly confusing. It mixes up different seasons presumably because these are the record-breaking seasons for that particular league/team? It also mixes men's and women's football.

Metapress[edit]

Non-notable publisher. Most of the coverage appears to be press releases about their being spun out, taken over, etc. No evidence of the required in depth coverage.

Thanks for writing, however, I'd like to point to the following article. This linked article is from UCLA, explicitly writing that Metapress is an established journal hosting their content under their resources section. All referenced and notable mentions on the original page have references, although I understand and agree that several additional references would be appropriate for addition. I would appreciate your review of this link, and many other comparable references to be considered prior to the repeated attempts at deletion. Thank you, and I am looking forward to your reply.

It's a notable publisher, but you didn't make that clear at all -- add more references. Paperpro (talk) 12:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rewrite. The article is somewhat unclear. The version of Metapress that was notable was the earlier system, which was not a journal or a reprinter, but a publication platform for publishing journals. It was used by a variety of publisjhers, many of them highly reputable. The best source for its nature is section 3 of [18], a blog, but a blog by a well-known expert in scholarly publishing. I consider it a RS. All references before 2014 refer to this platform,which is currently called Literatum. [19] Ditto for the UCLA reference cited above.

The present system has kept the name, but has essentially no content; as its home page says "We are currently in the process of redeveloping our entire site, so you unfortunately won’t find many published pages at this time." I cannot tell if it retains any connection with Ebsco, but I need to do some inquiries DGG ( talk ) 05:58, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right about all this, but neither of the sources you provide have in depth coverage of a thing called 'Metapress'. Without in depth coverage of a thing called Metapress, there can be no article. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:25, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with rewriting, DGG, and also understand the need for additional references as stated by Paperpro. I agree that in-depth coverage is currently absent from the references, Stuartyeates, but there are numerous references that I just need time to add. I believe the second deletion attempt by Stuartyeates is inaccurate, although rewriting and adding references is certainly valid. I will begin to add references, but please review the following links in the meantime: Please see this article by Google Scholar, section "Journal Publishers", explicitly referencing Metapress: https://web.archive.org/web/20160328013659/https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html. Please see this in-depth article on UKSG, regarding purpose and overview of Metapress: http://serials.uksg.org/articles/abstract/10.1629/17287/ with PDF download to view. Please review this link hosted on Princeton, with references of hosting on Metapress: https://www.princeton.edu/~verdu/lossless.data.pdf.

The google mention is a mention and not the required in depth coverage. http://serials.uksg.org/articles/abstract/10.1629/17287/ is by an EBSCO employee and thus not independent. https://www.princeton.edu/~verdu/lossless.data.pdf appears to neither be on-topic nor independent (I confess I may have missed the point there). http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-no2005085660/ is a database entry of the type explicitly prohibited by note 5 of the WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for removal of the "articles for deletion" tag: I have updated the Metapress page with additional references, including in-depth coverage and additional clarification of the history. There are many more articles possible to reference, but I believe this is currently suitable to be removed from the "articles for deletion" category. Please review, Stuartyeates, DGG, and Paperpro.

Keep Never heard of this franchise, let alone this character, before, but she appears to be covered as a statuette [21] and as a cosplay opportunity. [22]. There's not a whole lot out there, but what I found with a trivial search there is far more opportunity to discuss this character in an encyclopedic way and the WP:GNG is met, so merging vs. standalone article should be an editorial decision.

Delete. As interested as some people may be in the leather subculture, holding a Mr. Leather title is not in and of itself a reason why a person gets permanent coverage in an encyclopedia. There are thousands of such pageants around the world, because almost every city that's large enough to have an organized LGBT community at all will have its own Mr. Leather pageant — and most winners don't get enough coverage to actually satisfy WP:GNG. And the sourcing here isn't showing that he's the exception to that rule, either — I'm seeing a lot of blogs and wikis and video streaming sites and primary sources, with literally just one reference in the entire bunch (Siegessäule, #3) that actually passes the reliable sourcing test. But one valid reference isn't enough to get a person into Wikipedia, if they don't have an automatic pass of any specific notability criterion and are depending solely on "media coverage exists, ergo GNG" as their includability argument.

Chicken Out Rotisserie[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

I believe this chain is currently defunct in its entirety, though I am not certain. It is possible one or two stores may still be operating. Chain went through bankruptcy in 2010/2011 and for the most part folded around 2013/2014. The website is still active and lists menu items, but does not list any store locations. One article indicates somebody may have been considering trying to revive the brand, but no indication that has been attempted. Even in its heyday, it was nothing more than a Washington, D.C. area chain, no presence outside the Washington Metropolitan area. Nothing other than local coverage. No indication that this chain ever satisfied WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Kept at AfD in 2005, but notability standards were not well developed at that time. Safiel (talk) 05:29, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to Nazism in the United States. No reason to make the title any more specific than that, since that will cover both the history of Nazism in the U.S. and modern Nazi supporters in the U.S. In response to E.M.Gregory's remark, those other two articles don't quite cover the same topic. German American Bund is a historical organization that supported the Nazis in the late 30s, but that doesn't mean that it was the sole group supporting the Nazis. For example, Charles Lindburgh was, at least at one time, a Nazi supporter, but he had little to do with the German American Bund. Neo-Nazism is not a U.S. specific article and thus should maintain a global focus. agtx 14:58, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That article (Support for Nazis in the USA) was written after a request was made to about 30 editors by an ip, see here.

Hydrogel micropatch sampling[edit]

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

Single author is principle developer of technique, search of Google scholar doesn't find coverage in secondary sources, otherwise no indication that the individual method is notable. Its a bit out of my understanding of chemuistry, but very skeptical that its more than his lab's project. Sadads (talk) 02:53, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To some extent, I agree with you. It would be best to ask other chemists to comment on this issue, and ask them to compare this article with other Wikipedia articles on new concepts in analytical chemistry. I believe the key issue is "secondary sources". The other part of your comment "his lab's project" is tricky, as there are several references. So, you need to answer the question is it still "a project", or is it already "a technique". In science, we often match a project with a publication (the final outcome of the project). Here there are four references - the newer ones cite the older ones. Can the newer ones act as "secondary sources"? My answer is - yes. But others may have a different opinion. As long as the same standards are applied to all such Wikipedia articles, then it is fine for me, and I support your request to delete the article "Hydrogel micropatch sampling". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Natriumchloratum (talk • contribs) 03:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. to Natriumchloratum, I almost complimented you as an excellent newbie because your username is redlinked, chuckle. Regarding chemists to comment on the issue, part of the key to Wikipedia is that editors (usually) don't need topic expertise.

Delete. Of the four references in the article, all are journal articles published by the team that developed the technique. The fourth is just a link to a list of upcoming publications, but searching for the article title "Quantitative mass spectrometry of unconventional human biological matrices" (abstract) shows that it appears to be mainly about testing the specimens once you have them. Hydrogel micropatch sampling is not mentioned in the abstract so the use of this technique may be just a passing mention; I'm not prepared to pay for the full article to prove that though. I can't find any secondary sources mentioning it and would agree with Sadads that it is the non-notable project of one lab. Sarahj2107 (talk) 21:09, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

Now that there is a separate Murder of Samia Shahid article, I would like to bring the WP:BIO1E argument again. Most of the "keep" arguments in the prior deletion discussion seemed to support the notability of her murder, but there does not seem to be enough coverage available to write a balanced, standalone article that is about Shahid as a whole (e.g. her history and impact as a beautician), not just the circumstances of her death. I recommend a redirect to Murder of Samia Shahid outcome. Mz7 (talk) 02:25, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Samia Shahid article is created almost a month earlier than Murder of Samia Shahid. I don't know Wiki Policy about such an issue. it is a second nomination.

The article created afterwards is an accepted draft.--115.167.70.196 (talk) 13:02, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Snehahurrain: The issue is that the two articles are, in fact, different subjects. One is about the event of her murder—combining information about the perpetrators, the crime itself, and the aftermath—and the other is a biography about Shahid as a person. The murder might be notable as a result of significant coverage in reliable sources (the general notability guideline), but the overwhelming majority of the coverage about Shahid is about her death. The event of her murder has received significant coverage, but not Shahid's life as a whole. I could accept merging this article to Murder of Samia Shahid as well.

Comment. I don't have a strong opinion here, but I will say that "murder" is a tricky word. It has a specific legal meaning, and considering that we have listed an accused perpetrator on that page, we could face a BLP issue should that person be convicted of a homicide crime that is not murder. I also understand that we use common language here, and not technical legal terms. I just wanted to bring that to folks' attention before we decided on a name for the page. agtx 15:08, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Agtx: This is an excellent point. I would support moving the article something like Death of Samia Shahid ~~after this AfD concludes~~. I used "murder" here since it is the current article title. Mz7 (talk) 02:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC) On second thought, since BLP is involved, I would support the move right now. Mz7 (talk) 02:47, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that if this turns out to be all true, then it is a heinous crime. If the perpetrator is eventually convicted of murder, then the page should absolutely be titled as such. agtx 16:23, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although the article wasn't much to look at when this nomination was made, an IP address (not me) made significant additions earlier today. The article still needs work, a lot of it in the form of converting in-article external links into properly formatted references. But notability is well established by these additional links. According to the subject's obituary in Black Belt (magazine), the subject is credited with popularizing judo in the United States (and not just with the military). He was also the subject (while living) of a five-page article in that same magazine. And I've only yet scratched the surface of the approximately two dozen new links in the article. What is needed here is clean-up, not deletion. NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:41, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up I've started the first round of clean-up for the article. In the process, I learned that many of the new links were duplicates of each other, so that the actual number of additional links added by the IP address is much lower than the two dozen that I had reported. However, these new links still do document the subject's notability. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:09, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there is one good Black Belt article on him ("The Grand Old Man of Judo" article isn't about him). However, there is nothing to show he meets the notability criteria for martial artists at WP:MANOTE since rank is not an indicator of notability. In addition, WP:GNG asks for significant coverage in multiple independent sources and that I can't find and don't see. Papaursa (talk) 00:23, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for commenting. Before I respond, I'll note for the closing administrator that Papaursa and I are the only two discussants who have commented on the article since it was expanded on September 26. I also note that Google searching might have been hampered by the incorrect spelling of the subject's name in the article title -- it should be "Emilio", not "Emelio". And during his career, the subject was largely known as "Mel Bruno".

Papursa, it might well be true that "rank is not an indicator of notability" under the essay that you cited. But that essay also says that the existence of an independent article on the subject is such an indicator, and the essay does not insist on there being more than one such article. But that's a moot point, because the subject passes the general notability guidelines without recourse to the martial-arts essay. One of the criteria for being notable under the general guidelines is that the person's contributions have become part of the enduring historical record of his field. And that's precisely true for the subject here. That five-page article in Black Belt is evidence of this, as it was published in the 1970s, well after Bruno's peak years of accomplishments. And the obituary that the magazine ran in 2004 described him as a "pioneer" of American judo. The website for the United States Judo Federation uses that same word to describe Bruno in its article on the development of Judo in the United States (and that article includes an extended biography of him). In 2007, Bruno was inducted (posthumously) into the Hall of Fame at the Martial Arts History Museum (a fact that I added to the article earlier today). Add to all this the subject's role in developing the US military's judo team, and we have more than enough material with which to build a decent, well-sourced article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 05:41, 2 October 2016 (UTC) slight revisions by NewYorkActuary (talk) 05:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG uses the plural in describing "reliable sources" and saying "multiple sources are generally expected." Martial arts halls of fame have never been considered to show notability due to the large number of them. When I searched the USJF website, I didn't find the source you mention--just passing mentions. In addition, I'm not sure how they could describe him as a "pioneer" and yet not put him in their hall of fame. That seems like a disconnect to me. I'm also not convinced that an obituary is sufficient to show notability, unless it's in a major general publication (e.g., NY Times). Papaursa (talk) 03:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've fallen victim to my own poor note-taking. The website that described Bruno as a pioneer was the one for the Judo Encyclopedia, not the USJF. Because I don't believe that the encyclopedia is a top-quality source, I've stricken my comment from above. But one good thing came out of my mishap -- the additional searching caused me to stumble across the web site for the United States Judo Association, which discusses Bruno's role in the creation of that organization. That site has been added as a general reference to the subject article (though it can be brought into the article itself as part of the general clean-up that is still needed). So that brings the number of independent reliable sources up to at least six, more than enough to create a well-sourced article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:26, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The arguments for Keep have established that the treaty exists but there is no successful argument to show that it is notable. If anyone wants to merge any of the information elsewhere I would be happy to userfy it to them. J04n(talk page) 18:52, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After having digged about this whole matter for a pretty long time I found out and can conclude, pretty safely, that this entire matter is a complete hoax. There was no such thing in history, as a "Treaty of Kurakchay" or "Kurakchay Treaty". I brought the matter up at Doug Weller's talk page as well, not that long ago, asking about the main source that was cited here (Johannes Rau), who turned out to be non-WP:RS as well, see; [26]. Not a single reputable historian or scholar who specifies in the region has ever coined such a treaty. When you type "Kurakchay Treaty" (or any of the two other names) in google, or google books you get either 1) non-WP:RS books/links 2) websites from the Azerbaijan Republic. 3) Wikipedia mirrors. The image added here as well, is not even the Kurakchay Treaty, but a file dating from 1868 authorized by the Caucasian Archeological Commission (in Russian), which thus dates from some ~ 60 years after the so-called "Treaty" was signed. Furthermore, I have all the pages of the other authors put in the article literally laying in front of me as well, by Mostashari (2006), Bournoutian (1994), Atkin (1979), and not a single one of these mention anything even remotely close to the matter presented here, aka a treaty with such a name/such names.

Its pretty amazing how such a hoax managed to linger forth for such a rather long time, just because the whole matter is a low-profile subject. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:45, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is certainly not a hoax, per reliable sources found by this search and the same search in Google Books, which I can't link because for some inexplicable reason I can't save this page with that link included. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:20, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These "reliable sources" just copy-pasted it from Wikipedia. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 16:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which of them does that? I certainly can't see any such copying and pasting. One example where that would be impossible (and it's not the only one, just the first that caught my eye) is this book published by Aarhus University Press in 1998, eight years before our article was created and several years before Wikipedia even existed. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:08, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since LouisAragon has had a longstanding awareness of the article he is probably more able than most to spot if current or previous versions of the Wikipedia article's text has made it into any of those sources. But each Google Scholar source is going to have to be individually looked at (though there are not many so it is do-able). Also, a number of then seem on the surface to be non RS, being black propaganda texts produced by Azerbaijan. There is a past edit that placed into the article the actual text of the supposed treaty [27] but its source, a book titled "Sources on Azerbaijani history" published in Baku in 1989, so will be very doubtful as a RS. If this treaty did exist it surely must be mentioned in sources written before the conflict over Nagorno Karabakh began. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bournoutian is cited as a source in the article, and in the talk page is mentioned as the source for the "Russo-Karabakhi treaty" alternative name. LouisAragon, what does Bournoutian actually say? Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So are you saying that text from the Wikipedia article, on a site that was created in 2001, might have made its way into a book published by a Danish university in 1998? Let's keep the discussion in the realm of the possible. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you, Mr Anon, are going to continue to make accusations without any substance I suggest you leave this discussion. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 22:41, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Without substance? Do you dispute that Wikipedia was created in 2001? Or maybe you want a reliable source that says that 1998 came before 2001? What substance is missing from my observation that not all of the potential sources are copy-pasted from the Wikipedia article, as stated by KATMAKROFAN? And you don't get to choose who takes part in deletion discussions. Those of us without a dog in this fight are better able to judge notability than editors with a preconceived point of view. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

86.17.222.157 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), IDK why you're constantly bringing up a book that's not even WP:RS. I agree that the content of that book doesn't seem to have been copied from Wikipedia, but nevertheless, its authors are not historians, thus the whole thing plays no role here.

@Tiptoethrutheminefield:, the Bournoutian source cited here, without a page, is a translation of an early 19th century work ("A history of Qarabagh: an annotated translation of Mirza Jamal Javanshir Qarabaghi's Tarikh-e Qarabagh"). Bournoutian adds to the relevant passages himself (page 11) that; "His [the writer related to the Khanate] work covers the history of the khanate of Qarabagh from the death of Nader Shah and the appointment of Panah Khan as the khan of Qarabagh in 1747/48 to the signing of the Russo-Qarabakhi treaty in 1805", while on page 3; "Mirza Jamal was thus present during the signing of the Russo-Qarabaghi treaty between Ebrahim Khan and Prince Tsitsianov.[footnote]" In later passages of the journal, Bournoutian always refers back to the same thing as "an agreement" or the "treaty signed with Russia", but never the words "Kurakchay Treaty" or "Treaty of Kurakchay". Mind you, Bournoutian is the sole WP:RS author that even mentions such a word (Russo-Qarabaghi), and even then, throughout his entire euvre, as far as I can see/know, he does so on one mere occassion; only in this translation. - LouisAragon (talk) 22:53, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be hung up on the name of this treaty, rather than its existence. Are you doubting that a treaty was made between these parties on the date given? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If it was not actually called "Treaty of Kurakchay" then there are problems calling the article "Treaty of Kurakchay". Yes, something existed. An agreement was made between the Russian commander on the ground and a local ruler who was dependent on Persia, in which that ruler agrees to switch allegiance if his and his family, and his descendants position is guaranteed within the Russian Empire. The modern back story here is that Azerbaijan tries to inflate this agreement concerning a ruling family into a treaty entered into between two states - the Russian Empire and an independent state called the Karabakh Khanate. If an independent Azeri-ruled state can be made out to have existed in 1805, with its continued existence treaty-guaranteed by Russia, then this can be used to question the legitimacy of the Nagorno Karabakh republic. My feeling is that, given the vagueness of its status and its name, the content of this article should be merged into related existing articles. There we can refer to it as an agreement, described in later sources as the "Treaty of Kurakchay" or the "Russo-Qarabaghi treaty". (Providing of course that there are at least some RS sources that do refer to it as "Treaty of Kurakchay") Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for confirming that this discussion is a puerile nationalist dispute rather than an attempt to improve this encyclopedia. As I said before I have no dog in this fight, but I have no trouble identifying who does. The legitamacy of the Nagorno Karabakh republic is not recognised by any UN member state, so anything other than questioning of that legitamacy is very much a fringe view. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:13, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are actually confirming to us your fringe pov. The Nagorno Karabakh republic bases its legitimacy on the self-evident fact of its existence, on the right of its population to have self determination, and of it being historically an integral part of Armenia, ethnically and culturally. However, Azeri historiography, which is not supported by RS, claims that, historically, NK was actually "Caucasian Albania", that its "Caucasian Albanians" over time either became assimilated into Muslim Azeris or assimilated into Christian Armenians, and that any real Armenians in NK are actually post-Russian conquest newcomers. This is why Azerbaijan talks up the status and importance of this treaty. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:23, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So the position held by 193 UN member states is fringe, but that held by none is not. That's a weird topsy-turvy interpretation of the word "fringe". I have no doubt that many Azerbaijani nationalists distort history to support their aims, just as other nationalists, including many Armenians, do, but to any neutral observer the existence or otherwise of a minor treaty signed over 200 years ago is utterly irrelevant to the issue of how Nagorno Karabakh should be governed today. I'm not here to further any nationalist point of view, and haven't given an opinion about whether this should be kept or deleted, but I'm challenging errors of fact, such as that this is a hoax and that all sources found are copied and pasted from Wikipedia. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:36, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- the treaty is mentioned in a book by Kaveh Farrokh, Iran at War: 1500-1988, which appears to be RS. So it's not a hoax. It's significance is unclear, so I'm not sure it warrants an article or not; the book devotes several paragraphs to it noting: "The exact nature of the Kurakchay treaty has been disputed".

The book Small Nations and Great Powers mentions that Karabakh was "conquered" in 1805 so the date matches the supposed treaty under discussion. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:33, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Svante Cornell source is non RS propaganda that peddles Turkish and Azeri historiography - I can spot numerous lies and distortions in just that single page. "Russia's stirrings in the South Caucasus soon led to a Russo-Persian war". This is a lie - it was Persia's stirrings, seeking to re-impose its traditional supremacy over the Southern Caucasus, who invaded, causing the local Christian rulers in Georgia to ask Russia for help. And similarly, the "former Persian Lands" were not, they were still officially part of Persia though in the hands of mostly autonomous local rulers. The claim that Russia tried to extend its control over Armenia because Armenians were Christian is ludicrous, and it is a fantasy I have seen expressed in no other source. Russia had no intention during WW1 to "annex large parts of eastern Turkey". W.E.D. Allen and Paul Muratoff, in "Caucasian Battlefields", the definitive account of the military events, makes clear that for the Russian Empire the Caucasus front was always considered a sideline, was always under sourced, and was to be fought defensively. And of course Cornell is an Armenian Genocide denier, even using the stock denialist wording "tragic events" to dismiss it, placing "genocide" in inverted commas, and accusing Ottoman Armenians of being allied with Russia and being a fifth column.

Delete -- the Kaveh Farrokh source that I found is not sufficient RS for a stand alone article. PS -- I do not quite understand the above comment. Anyway, delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge There is content in the Farrokh source found by K.e.coffman that could be added to the Shusha article - currently there is nothing on the Russian occupation of it, the Persian advance, Ibrahim Khalil Khan Javanshir ignoring his earlier treaty and switching back allegiance to Persia, his subsequent death, etc. I think there, and on the Ibrahim Khalil Khan article, and with a mention on the Karabakh Khanate article, is the most appropriate place for the subject detailed in this article. It was not a treaty between nations, but was an agreement with an individual (Ibrahim Khalil Khan) who had been appointed by Persia to govern territory that the Persian empire considered an integral part of Persia. Even though sources describe it as a treaty, giving it various names, I think it does not have the status that justifies an article - unlike an actual named treaty between nations.

@Tiptoethrutheminefield: could you please clarify? If the source that I presented is good, it can be used at the Shusha article. This article under discussion does not need to be merged there, as this source is not being used in the article at this time. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (possibly merge). A book published by a University Press is certainly RS; hence this is not a hoax. It may well be that the treaty had little effect, due to the vagaries of war, but that does not mean we should not have an article. I am not clear what merge target is proposed: an article on the war, in which it was a diplomatic event might be a feasible target. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It being published by an "University Press" means nothing. "Ole Høiris" and "Sefa Martin Yürükel" are both anthropologists. This being a purely history-related matter, the source is therefore absolutely non-WP:RS.- LouisAragon (talk) 23:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A book that apparently does not mention the subject is not a good source for the subject, no matter who wrote it or who published it. DGG ( talk ) 23:49, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
