  • Delete as non-notable. I was about to remove a couple of sentences as a copyvio of her IMDB bio, but then again, the actor is the author of that bio, and she's presumably written this WP bio, too. So not a copyvio (and we don't know how long the IMDB bio has been online; the WP article may the older). Schwede66 08:18, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
that still makes it a copyvio... unless attributed as creative commons, which to my knowledge IMDB is not. InsertCleverPhraseHere 10:06, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- I've stricken my "salt" vote but the article is still promotional and notability is questionable, even after reviewing the book results where the subject is mentioned, but rather superficially. The three articles listed are about the book. The book looks notable, but not every person in it may be notable. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON still. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    K.e.coffman hi. The subject here is a journalist. He has created at least two notable works/online magazines: Nerve.com & Babble.com. As per WP:JOURNALIST: A subject may be notable if "the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work [...] In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book [...]) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." In my opinion, this subject qualifies very easily per this. The Wharton professor's book dedicates a full chapter to him and to his creations. Multiple periodicals and journals, like CNN Money, Harvard Business Review have reviewed the subject and his work too. Why would you disregard coverage like these? What would be your viewpoint about WP:JOURNALIST? And another query: Which lines are promotional in the article, as per you? We can delete those lines quite easily, as I would say the article in its current state does not look overly promotional except for maybe two lines. Waiting for your response. Thanks. Lourdes 03:39, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interesting, I've not looked at the subject under WP:JOURNALIST but as a businessman instead (that's how he's being covered in the book). The reason I'd be hesitant to go with a keep is that I'm not sure that the two web sites are notable themselves. I removed a bunch of 'cruft from one of them: diff. So it looks more like a promotional cluster, rather than notable subjects in their own right. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks K.e.coffman. WP:JOURNALIST does not require the work created to be notable but only well-known, a much lower qualification than notable. What matters to WP:JOURNALIST is whether the work has been the primary subject of even a single book (or of other sources). In this case, the work created by the subject is well known (whether or not notable) and has been covered by a book – this is almost a copybook example of WP:JOURNALIST's application. What might be your views on this? Thanks once more. Lourdes 07:39, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Assumptions of bad faith against other Wikipedians won't serve you well here. As I said on the article talk page, you're not off to a very good start in your two short months on Wikipedia.

This is virtually the definition of trivia. These actors only have one thing in common which is having played a character that originated in a different medium. Can you imagine List of actors who have played novel characters? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete totally trivial. The definition might be on the fuzzy side too. Some characters did exist as comic book ones, but may have other potential roots. Others may be in a movie like say "Batman" or "Superman", but if the specific character is not found in a comic book they would be excluded. Although this is a list, and can deal with such, it is still trivial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There's a whole network of these types of articles (i.e., names of countries or cities in various languages). The real question here is whether the content of this article merely duplicates the material already appearing in List of country names in various languages (Q–Z). But the instant article puts that material in a sortable table, whereas the "Q to Z" article forces the reader to search alphabetically by the other-language name (and not by the name of the other language). A good argument could be made for saying that we should have more articles of the instant type, rather than less. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:33, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't use WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as a reason to keep the article. I used the examples to counter the original nom's argument of how articles like it *don't* exist by pointing out that they do.

@HighKing: This article fails WP:NOTDIR by being an non-enclyopedic cross category (#6), a list/repository of loosely related items in this case being anthems of European Union member states (#1), and a simple listing with no context information (#7).

  • Delete - Per nom, doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG (the 3 or 4 news mentions are limited in scope, not focused specifically on the subject, and of the "passing mention" variety). Nor does it seem to meet WP:NONPROFIT (not "national or international in scale" - in fact by definition and per lead is a local group with a small number of members). In short, doesn't seem to meet either the general NN criteria (for coverage), or the org/non-profit criteria (for scope). Guliolopez (talk) 22:54, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Recently, I've come across many not for profit organizations on the Afd desk. These organizations do credible work in their space, and have considerable mentions with respect to the conferences/events/competitions they hold and the awards they give. Unfortunately, while media reports on these events et al, they fail to report on the organization itself. This results in a strange situation, where while my personal opinion would be to keep some of these non-profits for informational purposes, they don't qualify on our notability guidelines, either for organizations or for non-profits. I would personally prefer a newer addition to the NONPROFIT guideline to enable some kind of leeway as is given to higher level schools or to state/country level political parties, where, even if only trivial mentions are there, precedent tends towards keeping the articles. Till such guidelines become operational, it's tough to !vote keep. Thanks. Lourdes 05:36, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). References are to primary sources (almost entirely startrek.com website). No indication of importance (no non-primary sources discussing importance, reception). I an sure we could find a few sentences discussing him in passing in reviews of DS9 episodes, etc., but unless someone can dig out a reliable, in-depth, non-primary treatment of the character, I am afraid he will still fail said notability policies. While we could consider merging it to List of minor recurring characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, that list is a repository of otherwise non-notable content and would likely fail AfD itself. As this kind of topic is much better covered by Memory Alpha anyway, I think we should simply consider deletion of this, as a non-notable fictional character.

Yes, this is a long article about a minor (secondary) recurring character from ST franchise that has a GA status. Sadly, GA criteria for some weird reason do not include meeting notability, and this is a major problem here. The lenghty section on appearance, concept, development, etc. are based on primary sources: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, some episodes, as well as even Memory Alpha, a wiki (and other wikis are not allowed as sources for Wikipedia, something that should've been picked up in a GA review because reliability of sources IS a GA criteria...). Then we get to the 'do or die' section, ie. reception, or the two short paragraphs. First, not a single source deals with the topic (character of Vic) directly. They simply mention him in passing, in few senences at best, a bit more if they are reviews of episodes in which he appears and plays a more significant role. While we could consider merging it to List of minor recurring characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, that list is a repository of otherwise non-notable content and would likely fail AfD itself. As this kind of topic is much better covered by Memory Alpha anyway, I think we should simply consider deletion of this, as a non-notable fictional character. PS. I am a Trekkie myself, I like Vic, but it doesn't change the fact I don't think this kind of non-notable topic has a place here.

Because of the article's detail and the characters significance to the series, I don't think merging would be appropriate. The book source seems reasonable, even if it is a little insular.

  • Keep: I only ever expanded this from a redirect on the basis of having sufficient sources to evidence notability. The DS9 companion is an officially licenced work, but it is not a primary source. The authors are one step removed from the process, as in they spoke with the person(s) involved with production. That is the definition of a secondary source. Within this source there is a section specifically on the creation of this character. Unusually in the article there is a reference to Memory Alpha - this is because they've archived an AOL Chat on that website which isn't available elsewhere, but this isn't part of Memory Alpha which is user generated.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (periodicals) requirement. Student newspaper at a major university, but I don't see what makes it pass said policies. It doesn't seem to have any major impact, etc. Yes, it won some kind of an award ([14]), but that award doesn't seem major. This kind of entity doesn't deserve an independent aticle, IMHO, but at best a brief mention (at Oxford University, perhaps, that it exits. Regarding circulation, please note that circulation numbers are not considered relevant to notability, since it is difficult to compare them and say what is high, what is low (just like, let's say, the size of an organization is not a criteria for notability of an organization). Also, circulation numbers for this publication are sourced to primary source that has a clear purpose of advertising/promotion, so their reliability is hardly full-proof (another reason most data on circulation, as self-reported number which inflation is in the interest of the reporting source, is generally dubious).

      • There are multiple references in the footnotes to "real" newspapers, although some of these links appear to be broken.

  • Keep. The Oxford Student, very much like the Cherwell or the Isis, is a point of reference of student life at Oxford. Deleting this article would not only be illogical, considering that its circulation is larger than say the most-circulated national newspaper in Liechtenstein (which obviously has an article too), but it would also bring immense discomfort to those who research the third oldest university in the world, its unique student culture, and its history. For all such researches the student media within the University are an invaluable source of information. I would furthermore like to stress out that this article has been suggested for deletion by the same person who has on multiple occasions suggested the deletion the Oxford University Russian Club's page, in what seems to be a deliberate attempt to discredit the article's references, which include "The Oxford Student".

Since we cannot find anything except a single review on DVDTalk, I am afraid it fails Wikipedia:Notability (films). A merge to BBC Atlas of the Natural World may be best. Frankly, probably all of the series parts (episodes) fail notability and should be merged there.

The result was no consensus. At this point, there doesn't seem to be any particular consensus on this low-traffic AfD. There is a slight numerical majority of keep !votes and User:Julle has brought some sources in Swedish. However, it has not been verified if these sources can support the content. User:LibStar's query about third party coverage in newspapers has also not been answered.

As there have already been 2 relists with low participation (and there is a possibility that sources may not be in English), this is a tentative close as a no consensus, with a hope that editors will try to find sources. Should no sources be found, there is no prejudice against re-nominating this again in 3-6 months.

On a side note, it would also be worth looking into WP:ATD and see if it is possible to selectively merge this article to any acceptable target. I notice that a similar article Swedish Trade and Invest Council exists and it would be worth discussing if it should be merged into a single article.

There are some mentions in passing, of course, since ST is a major franchise, but I don't see any independent (non-primary) works about him (to be clear, independent/non-primary means - other than in Star Trek books, encyclopedias, almanaces, etc.).

This page is problematic, and I think we can serve it best, by blowing it up and starting over (WP:TNT).

The problems:

  • The article relies too much on the primary source of kauffman.org
  • Some statements have no reference at all
  • The tone is promotional throughout the article
  • It contains a lot of data that isn't worthy of being included in an encyclopdia WP:SUMMARY
  • There are 8 external links within the text, most of them to kauffman.org
  • Two of the most prominent contributors, @Flip51: and @Juvensophist: have only contributed to the Kauffman Foundation page and the Ewin Kauffman page, and nothing else. Though I don't want to jump to conclusions, I thought it was worth pointing out
  • The introductory text leaves room for improvement, it just says it's a non-profit from Missouri.

Let me state again, that I do believe there should be a page for the Kauffman foundation on Wikipedia.

  • Keep and snow close this Afd. The foundation qualifies on notability by even the strictest of standards (if you want, I can list out around 25 reliable sources; but I think you already know that). Just a quick query. If you really want to TNT it, why bring it up to Afd? You can start working on the article and cut out all the spam that you may see. I agree with you that the article requires a lot of editing. But Afd is not the way to do what you are proposing. I'll suggest, just go ahead and edit the article than proceed with this Afd. I don't want you to get dissuaded by my keep vote out here. I'll encourage you to rather withdraw this Afd. Ask me for any assistance in editing the article. Thanks. Lourdes 10:33, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging Amin. Lourdes 10:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lourdes: If you really want to TNT it, why bring it up to Afd?
Because I think it's easier and faster to start over.
I'd like to improve this article, though I think it requires me to remove 75% - 90% of the content, that's why I thought WP:TNT made sense here (I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, I must say).
I have just withdrawn the article from Deletion. I simply removed the Afd notice, hope that's sufficient. Anyways, thanks for weighing in. I will work this article soon Amin (Talk) 15:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Amin hi. I think I'll also chip in at the article once you start editing it so it becomes better. And by the way, you don't need to remove that notice from the article's page. Let the administrator/editor who closes this Afd do that. You can undo that edit of yours. What you should do is, just write clearly at the top of this Afd that you are withdrawing the nomination. Thanks. Lourdes 15:52, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lourdes, I did some editing last night, so feel free to add on it. I'm curious to see those "25 reliable sources" come to life. Did some research and could not find that many. Amin (Talk) 21:25, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. The next handful of days I'll be tied up in fixing the 25 odd references for my Featured List candidate. Next week am on a performance tour. Will get onto sprucing up the sources for this probably after 10 February. Hang around till then. Thanks. Lourdes 05:43, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I would like to see User:Lourdes 25 reliable sources, because we could add them to the article, but I have found at least one (Helmut K. Anheier; Stefan Toepler (24 November 2009). International Encyclopedia of Civil Society. Springer Science & Business Media. pp. 649–. ISBN 978-0-387-93996-4.). Now, the article has major problem with sourcing, possibly POV/COI (in the context of WP:NOBLE), but it passes notability, and I do not think the content is as bad as to merit WP:TNT. The article has been tagged with problems, any editor (including the nominator) can try to rewrite/shorten it, removing promotional material if any is present. No need for a nuke IMHO. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:08, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The characterization of Nihilism in the lede sentence, and the implication that anarchists or nihilists have anything good to say about capitalism is misleading and false. In addition there was very little relationship between political nihilism and anything else called nihilism. Either this article needs an overhaul or it needs to be deleted.

  • Merge and redirect back to Nihilism#Political nihilism, leave the history for whatever use the scanty material might be to a future editor. This brief article has been around a long time but doesn't contribute incrementally to the discussion, and I didn't see anything better in the article history.

  • Comment She has won the 2016 bronze in the Indian senior national wrestling championship[24] and is the 2016 official Indian national junior wrestling champion. Also, what might be your views in relation to WP:SPORTSPERSON, which mentions that an individual is presumed to be notable "if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor"? Listing out a few sources for your perusal, that seem to make the subject qualify on BASIC:
  1. ESPN news report on Sangita's rivalry with her sister Babita.
  2. NDTV report on Sangita and Babita.
  3. The Times of India report on Sangita and Ritu, her sister.
  4. Hindi newspaper Patrika's report on Sangita's rivalry with Babita.
  5. Huffington Post covering all six sisters (I would consider this only for BASIC rather than for GNG or SNG)
  6. Hindustan Times report, similar to Huffington.

Nom's argument is that the organization [only] made headlines for a week in 2005 and there are not enough reliable sources. There are headlines from 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, in at least a dozen different reliable sources.
GAB wrote a couple of other sources, but nothing substantial enough to indicate long-lasting notability. Not counting the two La Prensa pieces, which don't focus primarily on The Athiest Agenda, the other eleven sources range from 127 to 924 words and total over 4,800 words. That is substantial in number and depth. Whether the notability is long-lasting is a fair question. Coverage is spread over six years between 2005 and 2013. That satisfies WP:SUSTAINED. At that point the group changed its name and tactics. It is probable that their less confrontational approach generates less coverage. I haven't looked for any under the new name, but notability is not temporary, so if the group has disappeared from the headlines for the last three years, it shouldn't matter.
Andreas Philopater wrote that most coverage cited is in the local press. Three of the dozen sources are local, although in this case local means the seventh largest city in the United States, with a population of nearly 1.5 million. Next come four notable national media outlets. The sex industry source is admittedly a niche publication. The religious news sources are not as mainstream as The New York Times, but it would be difficult to argue that the national Christian press has a limited audience in the United States. Next are three of the "Big Four" national TV news networks. One of their pieces originated with the Associated Press. The eleventh is a notable news company in the United Kingdom. Finally, there is the official Mexican news agency, whose story was printed in newspapers throughout Mexico and the United States. These plainly satisfy WP:AUD.
Andreas Philopater further suggests that something analagous to WP:BIO1E for people should apply to organizations. The "Smut for smut" campaign was annual, not a one-time affair. There were nine events (plus minor ones, such as sponsoring a debate and protesting a National Day of Prayer, although those were only covered by local press). WP:BLP2E applies. Even if it were one event and if the guideline applied to organizations, WP:BIO1E is about whether the focus of the article should be the event or the person. At most it would support moving the article to "Smut for Smut". It would not support deletion.
I invite TM, GAB, and Andreas Philopater to examine the thirteen sources and consider withdrawing their recommendations to delete. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I still only see two sources from 2008 in the article itself. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 16:05, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That is true (the two are from 2005, but were added to the article in 2008), but is one of the arguments to avoid in deletion discussions because it is easily surmountable and does not require deletion to fix. If it bothers you, you could copy the eleven sources above into the article. Articles for deletion is not about whether an article doesn't currently satisfy Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, but about whether it could never be improved to do so. Deletion is not cleanup. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:14, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt this is a notable event. Checklist:

Lasting effects Red XN None.

Geographical scope Green tickY That's fulfilled.

Depth of coverage Red XN We don't have an in-depth review so far. Only some short news article.

Duration of coverage Red XN Very short duration of coverage, because it's nothing special.

Diversity of sources Green tickY Well, seems to be fulfilled, although we only have news reports so far. No text books. No scientific articles.

On the other side, this event can be best described as Routine coverage. It's winter. Temperatures drop. That's how it has been for years. Furthermore, Sensationalism may also be the reason for some of the news reports.

All in all, we have more reasons for deleting this article than for keeping it. TheRandomIP (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This certainly goes way beyond "Its winter, let's post some pictures of snow in the Daily Mail" coverage. Snow and severe temperatures in places, that do not usually see those iE first snow in 25 years where the last flurry only lasted 30 minutes. Agathoclea (talk) 07:46, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Winter#Exceptionally_cold_winters where it merits a brief entry. As a free-standing article, it is unsatisfactory because it is ill-defined. Right now, it's still January and it's cold here in London. The newspapers are full of reports about freezing fog, airport closures, inversions, &c. Is this part of the supposed phenomenon or not? How do we tell when this stops being something special and starts being the usual winter weather? The atmosphere is turbulent and chaotic so the news media always have something to say about it every day. Either we should have some broadbrush coverage such as a European equivalent of 2016–17 North American winter or we should stick to clearly named local phenomena like Hurricane Andrew. Andrew D. (talk) 08:18, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sources show that this was not a routine winter event. "Europe's coldest weather in years...";the lowest temperatures for decades in some parts..."; "death and chaos across Europe..."; etc. Reported worldwide. "Still cold here in London" is irrelevant - the article does not describe that, it covers the highly unusual polar air mass ("cold wave") over continental eastern and southern Europe, several hundred miles at least from London, earlier in the month. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:47, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
London is a notorious example in such cases. But London is in Europe and it's cold and it's January so this fits all the parameters of the page title. If this isn't valid, then what are the exact parameters then? When did this thing start and when did it finish? The article currently gives a start date of 5 Jan but note that this is cited to a forecast and the source seems to be a blog. And there is no stated end-date. Ghmyrtle cites the Guardian as a source but note that the Guardian had another similar story this morning. This says, "A new bout of cold weather across southern Europe ...". So is this the same topic or a new one? Are we going to have a new page every time the Guardian reports the weather somewhere? Please could Ghmyrtle or someone provide a clear definition of what the topic is so that we may understand what we are debating. This should please include an authoritative source which supports the definition, not just a newspaper report. Andrew D. (talk) 13:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, the article needs to be improved. If the title is insufficiently precise, it could be moved. Any suggestions? This report of the "polar spell [that] gripped a large swathe of the continent" says that the extreme cold was forecast to abate later in that week (of 11 January), and there seems little suggestion that it is continuing now to the same degree. But all that is a reason to improve the article, not to delete it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Yes, it clearly seems The question is whether it meets GNG as a bona fide member of Category:Cold waves in Europe and other such categories. Plus, the colourfully adorned nomination rationale that this cold wave needs to and fails to have "Lasting effects" is not policy. I daresay no single weather event ever does. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've removed my !keep vote because we do need to be on guard against WP:NOTNEWS, and I'll leave it to others to decide if it passes that threshold. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The cold wave broke several temperature records as mentioned above and in the article itself, and it did have severe impacts which were reported on worldwide (UK, Singapore, Malaysia, India), especially on migrants and refugees living in camps. These effects can certainly be elaborated upon; a simple search shows the word "refugee" occurs zero times and "migrant" occurs five times in the article. ~ KN2731 {talk} 14:54, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep WP:NPASR  This is from my !vote at DRV.  "The close has elements of both SNOW and SK, and the remedy is to overturn the SNOW part of the close.  The closer reasonably cites WP:POINT given that the nominator can't decide if the topic fails notability, and is using the AfD process to get assistance from the community to help him decide.  WP:NPASR allows the nominator the opportunity to review the deficiencies in the nomination, and if re-nominating, to correct those deficiencies."  Unscintillating (talk) 00:10, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:GNG. Keiiri (talk) 09:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This cold wave was exceptionally severe, and I think it's worth a special entry. I live in a Mediterranean country, and I don't remember something like this, at least for the last 30 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:1803:3100:3DBD:FD19:F757:195A (talk) 19:47, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The HuffPo piece was part of their blogs, so it wouldn't be seen as a RS on here because it's a SPS essentially, as the HuffPo doesn't really regulate that section of their site. I did find this, but the article on the Daily Sabah gives off the impression that they're not a non-partial site on the topic of the Gulen movement and probably wouldn't be a RS in general. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I see a few points. First, producer Mark Hall is an experienced documentarian and this isn't exactly a local-interest only work. Also, on top of the sources already listed, there is this story in the Houston Press (an alternative weekly).[25] However, I agree that coverage has been a bit sparse and fringe. Given the continued relevance of Gülen and the continued importance of the charter school movement, this film could continue to receive light coverage and eventually meet GNG/point #2 of Wikipedia:Notability (films). Currently, I'm not sure. Smmurphy(Talk) 15:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Jesse Lawrence didn't 'appear' but 'starred' in three massively popular and now iconic Bob Marley videos. One video on youtube has over 17m views and 34 thousand likes [1] For over 10 years there has been speculation and debate on internet forums about the identity of Jesse Lawrence [2] and a Wikipedia entry clears things up and makes them official. While his film The Knot was not a favorite among critics, it was reviewed widely, featured a top cast of well known actors including Hollywood A lister Mena Suvari [3] received a major theatrical release in the UK and Republic of Ireland and is popular enough among a world wide audience to merit the involvement of various distributors and sales agents [4] It also continues to find an audience on the itunes [5] and Amazon [6] streaming platforms. Jesse is a filmmaker of pedigree who has been picked as one to watch by respected trade magazines like Screen Daily[7] Two of his shorts were UK Film Council backed - a film fund (now replaced by the BFI) which only awards to the most talented filmmakers across the UK in a highly competitive selection process - and they screened and competed in some of the most lauded and respected international film festivals such as the BFI London Film Festival [8] This is a filmmaker who is already notable and whose notoriety will only increase along with his film credits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragner5000 (talkcontribs) 19:27, 18 January 2017 (UTC) note This editor is the creator of the article Domdeparis (talk) 10:38, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The videos are popular because of the songs that were performed by an iconic musician. No one's watching them for Jesse Lawrence; let's not kid ourselves. Anyway, none of the sources you listed here are suitable for Wikipedia (IMDb; a passing mention on randommedia; iTunes; internet forums) and do nothing in establishing notability of the article subject. Actors or directors working with A-listers does not automatically establish notability either, under WP:NOTINHERITED. The Knot (which has a zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes) was not given the green light because of the choice of director, and he hasn't directed anything since. sixtynine • speak up • 02:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Being an as yet unelected candidate in a future election is not, in and of itself, grounds for a Wikipedia article — we maintain articles about holders of political office, not candidates for it. If you cannot make and properly source a credible case that the candidate was already notable enough to pass our inclusion standards for some other reason besides their candidacy, then they do not get an article unless and until they win the seat they were running for. And furthermore, even the primary for a 2020 election is still over three years away, let alone the general election that actually he'd have to win to qualify for a Wikipedia article — not to mention that the 2018 House elections still have to happen first, so technically we don't even yet know who the incumbent is that he'll be primarying. No prejudice against recreation if and when he wins election to a notable political office, but a person does not get an article on here just for declaring himself a candidate in an election.

I do not believe this borderline promotional article is on a notable topic; if a single article in the Washington Post makes an outfit notable, we're going to run out of paper. This club is...let me see...a day old, and is not proven notable. I'll gladly take a redirect to Young Turks. Drmies (talk) 04:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just saw the talk page, where the old "oh this guy must be a political opponent" nonsense is brought up. Pshaw. Anyway, I do find it odd that we have a number of accounts (and an IP) that appear out of nowhere, all of a sudden, to support this brand-new article, and I sure hope that we're not going to get a wall of meat here in this AfD. Drmies (talk) 04:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Ever consider that a rapidly expanding movement is obviously going to exponentially attract more people over time? Or that a notice for deletion increases the pressure to improve the page? It's interesting to note the dismissal of the claim of deletion out of political opposition (a claim which I disagree with, for the record) while simultaneously claiming meat puppetry. Come on, look at the article revision history, and it's obvious that it's clearly not a scheme because the patterns of the revisions. I'm sure most of the people are people like me, who Googled "justice democrat" after hearing it, saw that there's a Wikipedia article in desperate need of work, and decided to improve it. Its considerable growth (over two hundred candidate applications and 17 thousand signups in less than one day) makes it notable. The wording bias in the articles can be remedied to make the article less "promotional." And clearly, it's more than one article. -- Firestar493 / Nightstar648 23:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep. This was started awfully early, and the editors didn't know how we define notability, but in addition to the Washington Post and Wired sources—both of which are reliable, especially the first, but neither of which was properly identified, so they were lost in the pool of primary sources (two sets of references to the platform) and dubious sources that I have kept because they reference the full list of founding names mentioned in the article, and who knows, some of those without articles may someday become notable—I found an article on the Univision site. That makes 3 reliable news sources, two indisputably major, so although the New York Times article that comes up on search didn't actually cover this group when I checked last night, I believe it now meets WP:GNG. I have accordingly rewritten it to tighten it up. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and trim. While it seems a bit bloated, there's plenty of coverage including from the Wired and WaPo to make it a noteworthy topic. Cartoondiablo (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:PROMO and as waaaaay WP:TOOSOON. Yes WaPo and Wired ran articles when it launched. But let's wait until it has done more than launch. No prejudice against re-creation in 6 months or so if coverage at that point warrants.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:53, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How many other political organizations are able to attract fifty-thousand-odd registrations in two days? 68.132.76.144 (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2017 (UTC)— [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Keep, I really don't see what the problem is with the article. I'm not exactly sure what type of political organization this is (I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of the US system), but Political parties are by definition notable. If someone founds a "People's Democracy Party" in Luxembourg and runs for elections, they are still notable and should have a Wiki article. Just because a party is small (or even dead), doesn't mean it can't have a Wiki article. There are already tons of articles about micro-parties that have like 200 members and get 300 votes. This is no different. --Hibernian (talk) 03:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clean up and Weak Keep Should have some work done to make the tone a bit more neutral, and the article is a bit light with the number of sources there now, but given that there are a few strong ones, and it seems likely there will be more, I lean to keep. Nwlaw63 (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, if there can be a list of Pokemon, why not this? 50,000 sign-ups in one day is pretty notable. It's not like Wikipedia is running out of pages. Asaturn (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, There are Wikipedia articles for small third parties like the Alaskan Independence Party, which only has 13,000 members. The Justice Democrats had 17,000 sign ups in 24 hours. I say that if there are people passionate enough to write and maintain an accurate and quality Wikipedia page, why delete it and discourage them from contributing to other articles in the future?
  • Weak Keep, Although I feel this article was created a little too early, I will say keep as it is a movement of the current time. I do believe more information will become available in the next couple of months but that will take time. For those unfamiliar, this is a movement within the Democratic Party that is similar to the Tea Party movement of the Republican Party several years back. I will admit, it is quite interesting to see how many people have supported the movement so far. As for the New York Times article, the only mention of the Justice Democrats appear in the article link but not in the article itself, which is why the article appears in a Google search for Justice Democrats. It's a pretty deceptive practice by the news agency but that for another day. Elli21486 (talk) 08:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, This is line with other established pages such as Congressional Progressive Caucus, Wolf PAC, Tea Party movement,Brand New Congress, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YeshaiMishal (talkcontribs) 19:35, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As long as the article is neutral and not too promotional of the movement, I'm fine with keeping the article. I also think it's prominent and relevant enough to be featured on a Wikipedia article. - Bokmanrocks01 (talk) 20:50, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Of course this article should be a neutral description of the movement. But the notability is clear. Anjoe (talk) 11:49, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Absolutely keep, this is a movement made from the people that brought you one of the largest anti-corruption/political movements in history. It would be absolutely ridiculous to delete this when known Punk Rock bands who start side projects have their band's bio on Wikipedia before they even release a successful record, as if they had already sold millions of records. No reason to delete this, AT ALL. 23:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Keep I don't think this should even be a question. It's a political movement with, as of January 29 2017, over 60,000 supporters, just within the first few days of existence. The party has a clear objective and has been mentioned by several major sources. If that's not notable, I don't know what is. Of course, it should be objective, but that's not a reason for deleting an article when it is clearly noteworthy. -Throast (talk) 22:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the last commenter noted, this movement already has over 60,000 supporters, so it's definitely important enough for an entry. I myself have already consulted it several times for reference, so I can attest that it is helpful for at least this Wikipedia user. Also, the original complaint that "if a single article in the Washington Post makes an outfit notable, we're going to run out of paper" is silly, because this is the internet (paperless). This is a useful page, and so it's worth the cost that is ACTUALLY real in maintenance. comment added by Monica, user — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:193:8280:50E4:1994:425A:2C0F:A7AB (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep until such time as the policy changes, it doesn't have to meet GNG, as a secondary school (or one that includes one) per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The basic premise of the precedent behind school outcomes is that GNG does not require that sources be in the article or even that they be accessible to anyone on the English Wikipedia. It simply requires that they exist and that someone in the right geography and the right language skills could find them. We keep secondary schools under this presumption that if they are a real school, these sources likely exist even if the country they are in does not make them easily accessible online to Anglophones. The current RfC on secondary school notability might lead to a reconsideration of the practice the compromise on schools that has existed over the past decade, but until such a time, we should continue to keep articles of legitimate secondary schools. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on grounds of avoiding Wikipedia:Systemic bias - this deletion discussion shows why the current practice of "keep secondary schools" is good for avoiding systemic bias: A Russian school in Egypt is not something native English speakers often think about. I've encountered difficulty finding Russian sources on the internet but I'm sure sources in Russian and Arabic exist, and perhaps some Egyptian newspapers may have a story about it in English... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - at present, the article cites no independent sources, so even the low bar of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not met. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete not verifiable, possibly a hoax, could not find any other reference confirming this ever existed. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I... also think this may be a hoax. The entire language is spoken by 150k people, and centered about 2k miles from St. Petersburg. Even if this actually was a newspaper, I have a hard time believing it would be notable, and even more so without a Russian language article. TimothyJosephWood 19:14, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- not a hoax. According to the source listed in the article (by Shirin Akiner, which is an RS), it was one of the three periodicals in the Lak language, and it existed longer than just in 1912-14, as it was reissued under the same name in the mid-century. Here's the link in Google books preview. Being one of only three newspapers in a given language (1948 - ?), I believe this meets WP:NNEWSPAPER #1. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:34, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not saying it is a hoax, only that it may be a hoax, notability is a separate matter. I could not find other sources other than what is already listed, which is why I thought that. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ping prior voters @Champion and Timothyjosephwood: to clarify that this article is not a hoax. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:25, 29 January 2017 (UTC) [reply]
I tentatively stand by my !vote. This passing mention implies that other sources may exist, but it is not a substitute for those sources. TimothyJosephWood 00:53, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The sources online are about the day to day working of a CEO and not something remarkable about the person. In addition there are usual announcements by a company (dialpad) which the subject heads. Most of the sources like forbes, fortune and even techcrunch only have announcements about the day-to-day running of a non notable company and trivial mentions of the subject. Kansiime (chat) 00:53, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - A CEO of a non notable company. The mere mentions in the sources only speak about him in passing mentions while doing what an ordinary company would be doing in its day to day running. Nothing encyclopedic about this subject and a search online doesn't return any coverage in a reliable source. Gachangi (talk) 06:12, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Ultimately, none of the sources given are provide reliable in-depth coverage of Mr. Swerling. The NY / LA Times articles are about other people's careers or deaths. Mr. Swerling is quoted in each but is not the main topic of concern. I concur with the arguments for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 11:40, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
