Line of a speech. There's no sign that the speech in question passes the notability threshold and its punchline is even less notable. Note that if kept, the article should be renamed to either "let us be realists or "let us be realistic". Pichpich (talk) 22:20, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, unless the author can come up with something convincing to prove otherwise. The article is cited to a transcript of the speech itself, with no secondary proof that it is any more important than other speeches. I see no evidence it is known as "Let us be realist" either. Sionk (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article doesn't provide any reason that this speech was notable or even interesting. It seems to have been a boilerplate political speech. Jack N. Stock (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: If this article were to expand to have a paragraph about all urban legends at Category:Urban_legends, it would be overlong, and if it just listed them, it would be rather pointless. In theory, a list of urban legends could have a point, but in its current state, this one is a clear WP:TNT candidate. --Slashme (talk) 20:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete. Yes, multiple copyright violations found using Earwig's Copyvio Detector. It's a compilation, each paragraph is cut-and-paste from a different source. This needs to be quickly deleted per WP:COPYVIO. Jack N. Stock (talk) 20:54, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A perfect valid list article. The copyrighted material in question is just copied from the Wikipedia articles they link to, so its not a problem. And the rules clearly state you shouldn't destroy a list article, simply because you prefer categories. Both can exist. This article list related articles in a legitimate grouping, to aid in navigation, and provide far more information than a category could. Dream Focus 21:40, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah, good point. On further review, it looks like much (maybe all) of the duplicate material I found is itself copied from WP. I've struck out what I said. Jack N. Stock (talk) 21:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Passes WP:LISTN. See Encyclopedia of Urban Legends, for example. See also WP:CLN. Andrew D. (talk) 22:04, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above, esp. WP:CLN and specifically WP:AOAL because this clearly allows users to browse legends with more context than the category. Wouldn't do to fit everything into the main article, Urban legend. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:09, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Definitely needs work but I see no reason it couldn't be improved, referenced, etc. A sensible set of inclusion criteria isn't hard to imagine, either, so keep and improve. Jclemens (talk) 02:12, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails Wikipedia:LISTNAME by being a broad list of limited value. By the very nature of the list it will be incomplete as there are lots of urban legends (making it violate WP:IINFO). -KAP03(Talk • Contributions) 04:20, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deproded. Not a notable chess player (not a GMs nor a national champions; not all IMs are notable); the tournament he won is not particularly renowned. There are no secondary sources for this victory. Sophia91 (talk) 20:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The chess-results.com site looks perfectly adequate for sourcing the result of the Korean tournament. His achievement in winning this tournament is not trivial, he finished ahead of 4 GM's and beat GM Jaan Ehlvest. This IM may meet the criteria for notabiliy. Current issues with dead links in the article (it was originally written several years ago) are probably fixable. MaxBrowne (talk) 11:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC) I also think we need to be aware of possible systemic bias given that many weaker western players have wikipedia articles. MaxBrowne (talk) 11:07, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is (unfortunately) no specific guideline for the notability of chess players, so the nominator's assertion that "not all IMs are notable" is a matter of opinion. International Master, although not as strong as a Grandmaster, still indicates a very high level of playing strength - the top 0.25% of all tournament chess players. There are secondary sources in the article, which indicate that he has won at least two notable tournaments.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:18, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Korea Open and Philadelphia Congress wins are notable and (now) independently sourced. There are chess bios like Jack Puccini and Erik Kislik that are more serious candidates for deletion. Cobblet (talk) 14:51, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Latin Mass[edit]

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

Redundant with the page Tridentine Mass. Anyone looking up "Latin Mass" will want that page, not a listicle of Masses celebrated in Latin. The fact that several liturgies may be celebrated in Latin can be briefly mentioned in Tridentine Mass (and IIRC already is); it does not merit its own article. juju (hajime! | waza) 01:25, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletion discussions. Everymorning (talk) 01:30, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Why not propose a merge, then? Smmurphy(Talk) 01:52, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - In the meantime, I don't see how this isn't notable, I !vote keep. Smmurphy(Talk) 01:54, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are three or four examples on the article of rites other than the Tridentine that are regularly celebrated in Latin, so a merge to Tridentine Mass wouldn't suit. This topic is clearly notable on its own. Bradv 15:58, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then the title is wrong; the "Latin Mass" nearly always refers to the Tridentine Mass. No one will use the term to casually refer to a Novus Ordo celebrated in Latin, they'll just call it a Novus Ordo celebrated in Latin, or use the proper name of whatever other Latin-language rite they're referring to. Anyway, this whole article could just be a section or two at the end of Tridentine Mass mentioning other Masses in Latin. It is not at all notable. juju (hajime! | waza) 19:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Latin Mass does not exclusively refer to the Tridentine Rite. There are plenty of Catholic churches that distinguish between Latin Mass (Ordinary Form) and Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form). Even if it did, AfD is not the place for this. If there is consensus that Tridentine Mass is the primary topic for Latin Mass, this page should be moved, not deleted. Bradv 19:55, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- As a non-Catholic, I am not clear what the position is. Are there Latin-language rites for the mass other than Tridentine Mass. If there are, then the others should receive more coverage in this article. If there are not, then we should merge to that article (with the usual redirect), adding sections on anything non-tridentine. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:39, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein  17:43, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I am also not Roman Catholic. If I wanted to know about this topic, I'd look for "Latin Mass" rather than "Tridentine Mass." This article has existed since 2005, and was formerly a list of rituals in Latin including the Tridentine Mass. It appears to me that Tridentine is one of several Latin masses. If that's the case, this article belongs on WP and can include a link in the appropriate section to the Tridentine Mass article for further information (or we could merge the redundant, more specific article into this more general article). I hate to see a schism between "Latin Mass Roman Catholics" and "Tridentine Mass Roman Catholics," so I hope you can reconcile. Jack N. Stock (talk) 19:41, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article clearly indicates that the Tridentine Mass is not the only version of the Catholic Mass celebrated in Latin. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand. Mass was celebrated in latin for centuries, and this is the most natural search term. Heck, I've been to Latin masses and never knew they were called Tridentine! — JFG talk 06:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable musician. The page Luigi Grosu was deleted speedily (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) and subsequently protected. The subject doesn't appear to have gained notability since that point. Fails WP:MUSICBIO no chart singles, awards, etc. Fails WP:GNG, has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

One of which has been AFDed as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luigi Grosu (entertainer). Tassedethe (talk) 17:36, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Previous AfD was deleted as WP:TOOSOON two years ago. Still too soon? If the article is kept, it at least needs a re-write and move to Luigi Grosu. For now, I'm going to take out all the links to Twitter per WP:TWITTER. Jack N. Stock (talk) 20:00, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Non notable musician, possibly an emerging one. The parameters and scope of betterment can be placed on the talk page.

Contested WP: PRODs. This article, and the related articles listed below, are all redundant to List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games (hereafter abbreviated as ListSNES) and List of Super Famicom games (which is also redundant to ListSNES, but that's a matter for a different discussion). The objection raised by the contesting editor is that List of Super Famicom games does not include the genre information, but this is an invalid argument for keeping the articles on two counts: (1)As seen in ListSNES, genre information does not need a separate article. (2)The genre information in the nominated articles is sourced only to the databases at GameFAQs and Allgame, meaning that it is almost certainly inaccurate, at least in the case of Japan-only releases, which are the only ones not already covered by ListSNES.

Insufficient notability for this project. There are many families in Italy, as elsewhere, and not all are notable.

  • Delete There is nothing particularly notable about this family, judging from my own search for potential sources and certainly not enough for an encyclopedia entry. There are literally hundreds of these quasi-noble families in Italy. The lack of an entry for the family or any of its members in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani pretty much clinches it.

Fails WP:GNG. No deep reliable secondary coverage of Elliott, unless one counts an interview with a nonnotable blog (BMED Report). The article is a well-written resume that seems to be mostly about a fringe theory that Elliott pushes ("coherent breathing"), which notable skeptic Steven Novella has addressed on his blog.

Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. Under the current PORNBIO consensus, winning a niche award without other significant RS content is not enough to sustain a BLP. Even if the niche award were somehow seen as meeting PORNBIO standards, that technical pass would be outweighed by the gross deficiency in RS content/coverage. No nontrivial pertinent GNews or GBooks hits. Most news coverage relates to a Canadian drag performer with the same stage name, clearly an entirely different person.

Nothing to show that this is notable for now. A mention in a Cochrane review is enough to merit inclusion in another article, but not an article on its own. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 15:30, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep These devices were effectively the subject of the Cochrane review, since the only two studies examined each tried to evaluate one brand of device (per the absract).

"Merge & redirect" is probably a good solution. Johnbod (talk) 03:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note. The page says "Dental vibration appliance, sold under the brand name AcceleDent, OrthoAccel, and Tooth Masseuse, are devices which uses "micropulses" to try to speed tooth movement when used with dental braces." This is misleading content if the device is no longer on the market. QuackGuru (talk) 11:58, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is on the market, and the maker was trying to promote it as recently as Jan 14 by rewriting the article to include "AcceleDent® is an FDA-cleared, Class II medical device...", "clinically proven to speed up orthodontic treatment by as much as 50 percent...", etc. (Now rev-deleted from the article history as a copyright violation, here's a copy of the company's PR release from which it was taken). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:38, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Very well. I think it can be mentioned in dental braces. There needs to be more content to justify a stand-alone article IMO. QuackGuru (talk) 17:18, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I could go with that. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. In a few years, it's likely to read something like: 'The dental vibration appliance was a device which was claimed to use "micropulses" to speed tooth movement when used with dental braces. Subsequent research failed to replicate early results, and the device was withdrawn from the market.' At that point, it can be removed from the article. Jack N. Stock (talk) 21:22, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge. Being the subject of a Cochrane review (not just getting a mention in one) seems like enough for notability. And I think there is sufficient value in the article in that it tells people who want to know about it that studies do not so far support its efficacy, and that has to be of benefit. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:25, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. Or you could gather more facts from the many sources that are available, and expand it. Or add a maintenance tag. Or do nothing and leave it as it is until someone else gets to it. It doesn't matter how long it has existed. Maybe four years is a long time to you, but it could just as well be 4 seconds or 40 years. Wikipedia gets done when a volunteer gets it done.

Notability not established. See arguments of previous AFD. Ysangkok (talk) 14:35, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Glitz might have been wiki-notable once, but it became irrelevant many years ago. Ysangkok said that notability has not been established, but I'd say that complete non-notability has been established. (BTW, I write as one who put some effort into the article.) CWC 11:48, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As was just pointed out to me again: Notability is not temporary (NTEMP). But note that this was already deemed not-notable once, before you recreated it. Would you admit that you only thought it was notable back then, because it seemed like an important piece of the 3D desktop fad which people thought would bring the ever-elusive year of the Linux desktop? This section is a joke: History of the graphical user interface#Current trends. I think the NTEMP guideline is problematic with software because a once-important component of infrastructure can be quickly replaced. Many software projects are engineering efforts that, even though they are the results of years of development are not notable. Others, more theoretical ones, are notable even though they are new. This is why I for example just added a section on the ECMAScript article about await/async, even though the standard is not yet released. In the JavaScript ecosystem, people are using draft standard features because they are already shipping before the standard is out. But these additions WILL be released with a standard release, and they can never be removed, unlike Glitz. People are using implementations, not standards. This is why I oppose these reverts: [4] and [5]. --Ysangkok (talk) 13:07, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I should have said that I thought Glitz was going to be notable, and (not for the first time) I was wrong.
As to why I edited the article: I came across it while trying to improve our articles about Cairo (graphics) and related FLOSS graphics infrastructure; since it took me a little effort to understand that stuff, I thought Wikipedia should provide an overview of those projects. You're right about NTEMP not working on lots of software projects.
Thanks again, Ysangkok. Cheers -- CWC 13:31, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Consists only of in-universe plot summary from a series of novels, in violation of the policy WP:NOT#PLOT (as tagged since 2013!) and citing no third-party sources, in violation of WP:N. The series is notable and I am aware that there are reliable sources about it. But notability is not inherited, and it would be incumbent on those who want to keep the content to demonstrate that there are any reliable sources that specifically cover this one part of its plot in depth such that this topic would itself be notable enough for a dedicated article. Our policies and practice require that we are not a fan wiki open to long, uncritical, unsourced in-universe plot summaries. And by its title, this article can hardly ever be anything else.  Sandstein  14:32, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet WP:CORP since it has seemingly not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Per WP:AUD, "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." Even the most reliable references provided (e.g., Architects' Journal) are no more than "media of limited interest and circulation". Lincolnite (talk) 13:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Restored redirect to band - this uncited article has been that way for 5 years, redirect was reverted, and 3 inconsequential references were added, which prove the song exists, but give no indication of notability. Searches did not turn up the type of in-depth coverage to show it passes WP:GNG, and nothing in the article suggests it passes WP:NMUSIC. In addition, as written it appears to be almost all WP:OR.

I know you are sincere in trying to improve the content of Wikipedia so in that spirit I observed the following:
Part of the reason may be that the article was redirect to B'Avarija for 21 months before you, as the article creator, decided to undo the redirect. Secondly the article doesn't get much traffic. From 7/1/2015 - 1/28/2017, the day before the AFD, the article was viewed only 130 times. That's about one view every 4 days.
Regardless of the age of the article, it does not meet notability guidelines. It lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Music databases do not meet the significant coverage requirement. CBS527Talk 00:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Are you being sarcastic? I'm not trying to start, I can't really tell because it's in text and no voices are involved. Just wondering. I do not get as much time online as I would like to, so I do not notice things too quickly. As I originally stated the redirect to the band article was unnecessary. It is also a little rude and it is an abuse of the redirect tool. As I stated originally, if you have a problem with an article, raise the point directly or nominate it for deletion. The redirect is really for when an article is known by more than one name or term, you can redirect people who look for the same thing by one of the other terms, just like I did with B'Avar1ja. Putting that aside, what has the delay of removing the redirect got to do with anything? I also believed that the purpose of Wikipedia articles is basically for information and unlimited information at that. Therefore what has the number of times it is viewed got to do with it? I'm sure there are very obscure articles which get less views but that doesn't mean they should be deleted. It just means not that many people are interested in the subject or just don't know about it. It's interesting that you mention music databases not being significant, as they are independent of the artist, Wikipedia and myself. How much more independent do you want? I did also added another site as a source. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not angry or anything, just stating my side. Cexycy (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, no, I was not being sarcastic, that was not my intention. You asked the question "How come this article is just under nine years old and it's only being contested now?" and I was suggesting some possible reasons why the article was being contested now. Redirects are also used If a topic is not considered important enough to merit an article on its own. I had nothing to do with the redirects of this article. I was only pointing out that during the time the article was redirected there was no reason for the article to be contested. Similarly, If an article isn't viewed that frequently there is less chance that the article will be improved or contested.Though none of the aforementioned has anything to do with whether the article is notable or not. BTW- I tried to find verifiable sources to establish notability to add to the article but sadly I was unable to find any. CBS527Talk 03:59, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    @E.M.Gregory: I'm at a loss trying to understand your use of WP:POVFORK. The guideline states that this applies "when contributors disagree about the content of an article or other page". As page creator and watcher since its inception I'm unaware of any content disagreement whatsoever. What's more the same guideline states that this term should not be used "except in extreme cases of persistent disruptive editing" lest it be seen as disparaging.

  • No, we shouldn't. We have, for example, an article about A Capitol Fourth not a series of articles about it year by year. We have Gezi Park protests with a section about the spread of the protests nationwide, NOT an article to each city across turkey. We have an article about Victory in Europe Day, but not separate articles about each city where crowds gathered - although there were 1 million people celebrating in London alone. It is simple more efficient to present material about multiple-venue events in a group article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:11, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article has 24 sources and is six paragraphs long. List of 2017 Women's March locations is one quick blurb with three sources for the Seattle event. A merge would not be "efficient" even if other considerations like other media (e.g. inline photos and Commons link) and abundant opportunity for future expansion to GA like Women's March on Portland weren't a concern. This nom seems a bit pointy considering a modicum of WP:BEFORE would have told you it was Seattle's largest protest in history. - Brianhe (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Plenty of coverage to meet GNG. It's a recent event, so time will tell if the event is of lasting historical significance. Per the nomination statement, "events are covered in the main 2017 Women's March article", this is not the case here at all; the 2017 Women's March page presently provides almost no context, and only has the name "Seattle" in it three times, once in the lead, once in the sidebar and once in the gallery section. The List of 2017 Women's March locations has a very brief synopsis, which is fine for a list article, but is also short, and merging a bunch of content to the list would make it unbalanced compared to the rest of the entries there. North America1000 23:07, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Before starting an AfD on an article that has "not enough contents", please read the criteria for deletion and be aware that AfD is not cleanup. The subject has a verifiable superlative as the largest march ever in Seattle, and substantial coverage in independent sources. Calling it a content fork from a list is nonsensical. It does not contain the same content as the list, so it's not a content fork. I'd hate to see every article that happened to also be on a list somewhere deleted because it was a "content fork".

Comment - deleting this would leave one red link on Template:Wikipedias, when the others are all blue. I've copied some additional information from the Icelandic version, automatically translated then tied up from the Icelandic version. If an Icelandic speaker who sees this could confirm the translation, that'd be great. I don't know that it helps establish notability, which is why I'm not !voting. If it is deleted, for consistency we should review the pages for other language-specific Wikipedias too, in case they fail the same tests. Mortee (talk) 13:24, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List_of_Wikipedias. The article souces and my searches led to minor coverage in RSes. Fails notability. Happy to reconsider if significant coverage is found. In 2007 this large group Afd kept all although only a brief mention of this article in particular. The Template:Wikipedias has a list of other wikipedia that have articles in the English wikipedia. So when an new article is created or one is deleted the template should be changed. It's not a complete list of wikipedias. There are 284 of those. Gab4gab (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of Wikipedias. I looked into this a bit yesterday, and more today. This topic has not received a great deal of source coverage. Some sources are out there (e.g. [6] (subscription required)), but the topic does not appear to have received enough coverage to qualify for a standalone article. North America1000 23:15, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I only see room for improvement. Sources for subjects like this one are not going to have a pool of English sources, and it is wrong to assume that the number of English sources indicate the number of sources in other languages. I will happily improve the article and add a few Icelandic sources.
I do want to point out though that if the intention is to base strictly upon the notability criteria then even articles on big wikipedias are going to struggle to keep up with that expectation. For example, the article on the Swedish wikipedia contains mainly sources that categorize as being primary sources (hosted on wmf websites) or are "dependant of the subject". If that is the case I want to urge the nominator to nominate all wikipedia articles that fail this criteria.--Snaevar (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I understand the content fork argument, but in U.S. presidencies, the "first 100 days" is used as a marker, a way to judge the effectiveness of the administration during the "honeymoon period", when the administration should be at the height of its power. The timeline should also cover these days, but in a less detailed way. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:43, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I strongly support keeping First 100, as it is not a redundant content fork as alleged by User:Gfcvoice, who nominated First 100 for deletion. There is no WP:POVFORK or WP:POVSPLIT in First 100 and it is a valid Shortcut:WP:SPINOFF. Currently, there is a "fairly structured" series of articles, each with their own scope and formatting, president-elect, Presidency of Donald Trump,Donald Trump#Presidency, Timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump, Presidential transition of Donald Trump, First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, a detailed account of his first months in office, List of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump, a complete itinerary of his travels abroad, etc. and Political positions of Donald Trump. In these early days, there is no need to rush into deletions and merging of the Timeline and First 100 days, as these can be rectified slowly over time. User:Markbassett provided a useful response to User:JFG's concern (08:20, 29 January 2017) that there was "a lot of redundancy" between the articles. (User:JFG was of the opinion that the article should stay at "overview level and allow easy navigation to the specialist articles. It should not list daily events or news coverage."

    "It's within category US Presidential administrations, so I believe the scope is simply the presidential activity of this president. These are NOT indexing articles to lower pieces, they are presenting the presidential activity. The series is fairly structured and scope seems the formal actions starting from the day of inauguration to last day of office and possibly some retrospective about the period later on. I think the other articles are slightly different in scope or formatting. The timeline is in chronological order. The positions could include things that are not actual actions or events and periods before and after the presidency and may refer to things."

    — User:Markbassett 14:47, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
    There is indeed "something special" about this First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency re: User:JFG. I agree with User:Anastan, that there are other useful First 100 articles, Obama and Roosevelt and with User:Shawn in Montreal that there are not more First 100 in general as "notable" markers. Trump's 100 Days, in particular, reflects WP:LISTN as noted by user:Andrew Davidson and User:WereWolf, as evidenced by the local, national and international media - mass media (mainstream, alternative and social media) and Internet coverage. It is a complex period that is receiving wide, detailed and riveted attention globally and Wikipedia is reflecting that. First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency has a different scope and format from the Timeline. First 100 provides a "detailed account of his first months in office" as noted in the Timeline lede. On the Timeline talk page, User: Buster7 wisely noted that, ["In order to maintain a strict bipartisan nature extreme brevity and conciseness is required in a timeline." The lede in the Timeline article refers to other Wikipedia articles in the interrelated series, including First 100 days as ; for a detailed account of his first months in office, see First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency; for a complete itinerary of his travels abroad, see List of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump." First 100 is not a mere timeline, but provides more details with multiple wikilinks to specialist articles on specific Presidential actions, key individuals, and individual agencies, etc, underlining the importance of each issue. I agree with User:Andrew D. that the sources used are "respectable." The references in First 100 are very strong, including references to the Congressional Research Service, for example, and links to full-text actions and interviews, that are not cited in the Timeline or the Presidency articles. First 100 is definitely not Wikipedia:TOOSOON. Results of a basic key word "first 100 days" provides ample evidence of the global significance of these 100 days. According to Wikipedia:TOOSOON guidelines, 100 First fits the "various notability criteria" in that "the topic being considered be itself verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a collection of unverifiable content." Ample sources exist and it is not too soon. On the contrary, it is difficult to choose between an overabundance of articles analysing the First 100, just from the major news sources used by Americans alone,[1][2][3] let alone major international media. Without valid forking and the creation of new articles as history unfolds in "verifiable" independent secondary reliable sources, and existing articles become too content-heavy, Wikipedia will not be providing adequate coverage. Thanks User: for the gentle reminder to Wikipedia:Assume good faith. We are all volunteers trying to contribute to Wikipedia.

I understand where you are coming from, but we do write constantly about events which have not yet completed. We don't wait until after a presidency to start writing about it, for example, and will write about sports events not just during, but even before they start, as in 2020 Summer Olympics, 2028 Summer Olympics, Super Bowl LI, 2018 FIFA World Cup, etc. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:09, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because it meets our policies and guidelines, does not meet WP:DEL-REASON, is sourced, has precedent, is useful and significantly popular, and at 43 kB is an appropriate split from the parent article (Presidency of Donald Trump). It's worth noting that the timeline article is a different sort of article, which is not comparable. The contents could not be merged back there, nor should the title be redirected there. Merging the contents back into Presidency of Donald Trump would bloat that article unnecessarily, particularly as we go further into the 100 days. It may well be, due to the controversial nature of this presidency, that there comes a need to split the article into 25 day sections. The good thing about our guidelines is that we allow for that per WP:SPLIT. SilkTork ✔Tea time 13:57, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think a split into 25-day sections would be appropriate unless reliable sources use such analysis. There are, unfortunately, sources that talk about the first 100 days of past presidents, but I don't recall seeing sources about "days 51-75" (for example) of past presidential terms. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:10, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There is a lot of material already, I expect there to be a lot more by the end of the hundred days, and I don't see any strong arguments for deleting it other than a desire to have less material about Donald Trump's presidency. But Wikipedia is not paper, and we often maintain constantly updated articles of unfolding news events. As a matter of fact, one of the most valuable things for me about Wikipedia is the way it tracks unfolding news events when the regular press is spotty or stops following up. There is no particular harm in this article that I can see.

The result was delete. By about 2 to 1, editors are of the view that coverage of this political action committee was too short-lived to warrant an article.

List of current United States Senators already has a sortable function where you can sort by the Senators' ages. This copycat table is an obvious case of content forking. Feedback 07:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While calling it a "copycat table" or "forking" doesn't accurately reflect the history (since I initially created the page in 2006, when the list of senators page did not include date of birth or age -- and I'm not even sure if sortable tables were a thing then), I agree that having the separate page may no longer be necessary. -David Baron (talk) 08:51, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The competition standard there (in China's main sports like swimming, table tennis or weightlifting) is regularly at or above world championship level with the athletes themselves being said champions, Olympic medalists or world record holders. I don't think OP properly understands what the NG are or how prestigious winning them is. --Wlift84 (talk) 09:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really feel that an individual article for every single year's results is justified? Why not just add the results to a table in the main article (tables can be collapsed if article length is your concern)? Exemplo347 (talk) 10:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The NGs are a multi-sport event that is held once every four years, just like the Olympic Games. No, I don't think that subpages for every result is justified, but I also didn't create such. I made one overview page for one sport of a multi-sport event. This page shows the medalists, not all results. Weightlifting for example is divided into 15 events, I didn't create 15 pages (and don't intend to). As for putting every result onto one page: the NGs have 300+ events. That's too much I'd presume. --Wlift84 (talk) 13:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need a results page. Maybe medalists but even that is pushing it. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:06, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Major multi-sport events have overview pages for individual sports. I only speak for the page I created, not every Afd listed. There's little difference to established articles like:

Weightlifting at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games
Weightlifting at the 2015 Pan American Games
Weightlifting at the 2005 West Asian Games
Weightlifting at the 2014 Asian Games
Weightlifting at the 2013 Mediterranean Games

The stated reason of "non-notable" is plainly wrong. Since the article National Games of China does still exists I presume it was deemed relevant years ago. --Wlift84 (talk) 19:47, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Those are international events, versus this (which is a national event). Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I personally would create a medalists page for all sports per year. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct, but does the lack of internationality itself decrease notablity/relevance? If I'm comparing attendance and results of say:
Athletics at the 2011 Pan Arab Games
Athletics at the 2013 National Games of China
I'm noticing that the NG feature an equally high amount of relevant athletes (i.e. have articles) and results themselves which are sometimes worse, but especially for women plenty better (i.e. world level by international medalists). The reasoning currently given, a violation of WP:ATH, is not properly explained as that page does not directly address this topic. --Wlift84 (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing admin should note that every article after Also adding the following for the same reasons and they are all referenced were added to this AfD after the above comments. T. Canens (talk) 05:38, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all, Merge specific athletics events Far too many articles have been put up here and very little care has been given to both the nomination and the comments. I spent several weeks researching Athletics at the National Games of China. It is a key topic in the sport's history with multiple defining moments for the both sport itself and Chinese sporting history. There are multiple sources of high repute. The same can be said of Athletics at the 2013 National Games of China and the like, which was a major competition that produced nationally historic moments by some of the world's best athletes. I'm less of a weightlifting expert, but the competition between multiple world record holders and Olympic champions should say enough.
  • The idea that even comment on the medallists at these competitions "is pushing it" demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of both the topic and its relevance. The Chinese Games don't get a lot of coverage in English due to systemic bias, not due to any lack of actual relevance. There is a reason why all the most important Chinese figures from the President downwards are present at these games, as are all their top sporting figures. Needless to say, I also would have appreciated a heads up that several weeks worth of my work was to be deleted, rather than coming across it completely by chance.

no evidence for notability .first ref is a listing, second a brief press release, 3rd a one sentence notice. DGG ( talk ) 05:51, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was creating the page since a friend who works there asked me to. It is not a paid editing. The links seemed convincing to me and I know the company to be a reputed one. I do not have the details right now but they have possibly won a number of awards as well. I was creating the article in draft space and was following protocols but some new account abruptly moved it into mainspace without proper discussion. In case it is not found to be notable could you please move it back to draft space? I do not wish the work to be unnecessarily lost. In the meantime I can try to find out if they are actually a notable organisation. I had known it to be a reputable and credible firm. Anasuya.D (talk) 07:47, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: It is unclear why the employee who asked for the article or the WP:SPA who moved the article into mainspace thought this firm to be of encyclopaedic notability. Whether a company is "reputable and credible" is not relevant here, and the article content indicates nothing more than a SAP consultancy going about its business. Nor are my searches finding anything better than routine announcements. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 08:49, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • SNOW Delete as clear advertising alone and the history confirms it. SwisterTwister talk 02:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: I had been unaware of the advertising nature of the previous articles that had been written and deleted. The present one that I was writing is by no means of advertising nature. this source is an independent publication showing that the company ranks 182 in 2016 Technology Fast 500 Ranking of North America. I admit that I too cannot find much written (other than routine press releases) about the company and the present material can make up no more than a stub. I will try to look up more sources. If the article is kept I can assure that I would monitor it so that it does not turn into a promotional article. Anasuya.D (talk) 06:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC) I withdraw my stand. Anasuya.D (talk) 11:10, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I approve the withdrawal of my vote. DiptanshuTalk 11:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: Check page 28 of CIO Review magazine. There is an article on Ameri100. It seems to be from an independent source. Besides Giri Devanur, CEO and president of Ameri100 has been a finalist for best entrepreneur of the year and that was because of the promising work he did for this company (this link does not seem to be a PR release to me). I think that these parameters can establish the notability of the organization. However, the article should be carefully patrolled to ensure that it does not turn into a promotional one as the previous attempts had tried to make. DiptanshuTalk 09:23, 30 January 2017 (UTC) We withdraw our support. On behalf of me and my husband. Anasuya.D (talk) 11:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I validate the change in stand. DiptanshuTalk 11:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The CIO-Review fails as it is not an *independent* source since that entire section relies on quotes from the company or their CEO. The fact that their CEO has been a finalist for best entrepeneur of the year might be something if the CEO were to get an article, but notability is not inherited by the company. The NJBiz article *is* a PR news release. It uses the exact same wording as this PR release on the PRNewsWire site.

Thanks for explaining. DiptanshuTalk 18:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

:::However, I would like to differ from you in relation to your view regarding the entrepreneurship award prospect for the CEO. Although the article is not on the CEO, the CEO was actually being credited for his entrepreneurial effort namely Ameri100. So, in this case the two are to be considered interchangeably - this is what I feel. You could also refer to this and this source. DiptanshuTalk 18:56, 30 January 2017 (UTC) Reframed own stand after consideration of the viewpoints.-From me and my husband. Anasuya.D (talk) 11:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I validate the change in stand. DiptanshuTalk 11:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But notability isn't inherited. The award was not "Company of the Year", it was "Entrepeneur of the Year" and the CEO was nominated. (Also note, it wasn't the executive team or the company as a whole, it was solely for the CEO). WP:NOTINHERITED states Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects. This is usually phrased as "____ is notable, because it is associated with Important Subject." The "Important Subject" in your example is the CEO and you appear to be saying that Ameri Holdings is notable because it is associated with Giri Devanur who was nominated got an award. That fails the test for notability. -- HighKing++ 19:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG. -- HighKing++ 15:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Even though many of in depth coverage might be lacking, this company is definitely among the emerging companies with entrepreneurial credibilities. The ranking shows the same. The CEO's award is also due to his entrepreneurial efforts on behalf of this company. So, the company definitely inherits the credit. The CIO Reviews article seems independent. Quoting from the CEO does not make it promotional. FutuGo (talk) 06:24, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Emerging company. A lot of acquisitions (as evident from press releases). Possibly the only company working aggressively to consolidate the SAP Services companies (Try doing a Google Search on this topic). The present page does not seem to have an advertising tone. So, I suggest keeping the page. Zombalu (talk) 12:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I would expect the National Scouting Association of any country to be notable. Whether it is in fact notable may depend on whether the membership of 3300 refers to members (scouts) or to scout troops: if the latter, it is certainly notable.

  • Comment The problem with both of the references that are used for what looks like could be a significant award either lack independence or are primary sources. Citing the web page of the organization that gives out the awards as evidence of notability is not evidence of notability-- what would count towards notability is if a newspaper (a national one) carried an article about the publishing house receiving the award from the critics circle and discussed the publishing house in the course of its coverage. That is called an independent secondary source! That is what this article needs in order to be retained. Getting an award is great, but we need to know that the award really matters before we can use it to get a sense of notability of the recipient. Can you find such sources?

But the only source I could find specifically about it is a video report by GMA News, which doesn't really seem to be enough to establish notability. However, a redirect to its parent organization shouldn't hurt as it is a possible search term and it could have a mention in the aforementioned article (full disclosure: I am currently a student of the University of the Philippines Manila, but this does not affect my opinion of the article subject's notability).

    • That's not how it works. See WP:ITEXISTS. It doesn't matter when the "s" came into existence it's when and if it has achieved WP:NOTABILITY, which we establish through WP:Reliable sources. Not existence. You're fairly new here and you've stated that you're a young editor, so a lot of these rules may be unfamiliar to you. But over time Wikipedia has amassed a rather large set of policies about how to determine if things or people pass a certain threshold of notability. Often they do not. It doesn't mean there isn't something real or perhaps interesting there, it's just that this encyclopedia has certain benchmarks that need to be met, in terms of significant coverage in multiple third-party reliable sources.

But for now it reads more or less like a guidebook or manual which is not acceptable for an online encyclopedia. Note that the creator of this page has had several of his pages deleted, presumably for this very reason, and might not have spent enough time reading our article creation policies. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 01:54, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I remember this right back to the '70s. We used to tag school desks, each other's supplies and whatever with all sorts of stylized letters. This probably predates all of us. That doesn't make it notable, though. It's more a font character than "art" or "graffiti" or anything else. Definitely not "cool" because people the age of the editors' parents (probably grandparents) did this, and everyone knows nothing parents do is cool (nothing you'd like to think about, anyway).

However, some research indicates that, while the references are not strong and are scattered among non-authoritative sites, they are relatively plentiful and - I think - squeak across the notability threshold.

And also he fought for RFA which is top televised promotion against Bojan Veličković who competes in the UFC. Sholinian is one of very few popular Armenian mixed martial artist who also represents Ukraine at the high level stage, so I think this article meets WP:NMMA and in his references list there's enough links to meet WP:GNG as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izukiviktor (talkcontribs) 03:20, 23 January 2017 (UTC) [reply]

  • Weak keep Looks like he is pretty notable foreign fighter who represents his country in United States and has lots of reliable sources from different mma websites, few of them in Russian language though and lots of interviews and etc. on youtube too, so looks pretty notable to me. He trains with Ronda Rousey and in one of youtube videos she was in his corner. Although I say weak keep because doesn't seem like he meets WP:NMMA yet. I did some research and doesn't look like that RFA and CXF organizations are in the list. Also RFA was merged with Legacy Fighting Championship and now it's LFA so needs some updates on that too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rody19901504 (talkcontribs) 18:58, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing but a guide for commuters or tourists on Malta's bus lines. No evidence of notability. A maintenance tag has been present for three years and noone elected to (try to) resolve the issue.

    • Of course. But BUSOUTCOMES expressly allows for "suitable lists" that group individual lines. I'm interested in hearing what other, uninvolved editors have to say on the matter. Having a discussion is why I removed your speedy deletion tag. This isn't for you to settle. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:39, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • But it doesn't say every such list is suitable. You haven't provided any clear argument why this particular list is suitable. We already have an article on public transport in Malta. Why have a second dedicated to part of it, while the main article still has room for expansion?Tvx1 02:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, it does not. Note that the nominator has altered his nomination statement accordingly.

            • It's not my preference, it's WP:AFDFORMAT. I'm simply repeating your words back to you, as the guidelines on changing Afd comments are no less sensible recommendations than the guidelines on not reverting when editors remove a speedy tag with explanation. Whatever the outcomes of yours Afds, you've made a right mess of things, on what should have been straightforward nominations. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not of it the content is utterly encyclopedic, per the comment below. We shouldn't be keeping such lists just for the sake of keeping them. Wikipedia is not a database of bus lines, nor is it a travel guide.Tvx1 22:03, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

People should go to the operators' websites for route information where it is more likely to be correct. Many similar lists have been deleted and this should go the same way

Sherrie Rose[edit]

No indication of notability, no reliable sources. All I found via Google is some rumors according to which she claimed another more notable actor fathered her son. That's not enough for an encyclopedia article. Back in the 2011 deletion discussion editors said that there were "plenty of notable sources" and that "Google News hits establish notability"; yet no specific sources were presented nor were any added to the article in the years since then. Huon (talk) 02:04, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources were actually presented in the 2013 deletion discussion (I didn't expect an article whose only reference is IMDb to have survived one deletion discussion, much less two). Of those, only one gives any details whatsoever about Rose, and that's the Miami Herald calling her a "local actress". She wrote, directed and starred in one movie, Me and Will (plus other apparently less significant roles) - but I don't think the movie is notable either, and Rotten Tomatoes knows of no critical reviews. So my opinion remains unchanged: Not notable, does not meet WP:GNG (despite numerous evidence-less claims to the contrary in previous deletion discussions).

  • Weak keep I'm unsure about this AfD. It seems that at least one of the sources included in the article, i.e. Robert Aldrich & Garry Wotherspoon (2005), Who's Who in Contemporary Gay and Lesbian History Vol.2: From World War II to the Present Day, Routledge, [15] includes Aliagas and discuss him to a non-trivial extent. He's also mentioned (in fact, his work has been cited) in Jesús-Pedro Lorente (2005), Historia de la crítica del arte: textos escogidos y comentados, Zaragoza: Prensas Univesitarias de Zaragoza, pp. 628-637, [16].
He's also full professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia [17], and has published extensively in Spanish in his field of research [18]. His artistic exhibitions (which he either curated or commissioned), have also been featured in Spanish media [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], as well as in other less independent sources such as [25], [26]. Thus, my issue is not whether he is notable.
I'm less sure, however, about the extent to which his notability is reasonably established by significant coverage in sufficient independent and reliable sources. Aside from the first reference mentioned, all of the others either mention him only in passing (thus not satisfying WP:SIGCOV), or are from websites where he is employed (UPV website profile) or projects which he is involved in (such as [27] and [28]) (and thus not sufficiently independent).
For now, I guess I support a weak keep. I would like to see comments from more experienced and knowledgeable editors, however, such as perhaps from WikiProject Arts. Though I'm not sure how the procedure is to RfC them within an AfD.--talk2Chun(talk) (contributions) 20:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As noted by User:Largoplazo, only ten Google hits, nothing even resembling notability. Non-notable student publication. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:08, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would first like to thank you for following up on your claim in such a civil and straightforward fashion. I would like to first provide context as to why it was made. I am a student of the academy and me and a friend were up tonight (11:00-12:00 UTC) looking at the school page. My friend vandalised the page, in a fairly minor fashion and I set about to fix it. I did it swiftly and noticed that our internal paper had a reference, but no page. As a learning exercise, I took it upon myself to quickly dot one up. It only took 5 or so minutes, because I already knew what there was to know, as an internal. I am fully aware that the page has little significance outside of our little school, but I can promise as a student for 4 years at the academy that "The Hazeley Herald" was a real thing, that was printed. Unfortunately, as stated it lost significance quickly and after a few years it ceased completely as it became too expensive to run.

If this has not persuaded you of the fact that the article should maintain its existence, then I shall have to concede and delete the page. This will mean however, that on the main page nobody will ever be able to see the story of what became of the student piece.

~~AMassiveNerd (01:23UTC)~~

See WP:N for information about the notability policy that we are discussing here. The publication would have to meet the general notability guidelines at WP:GNG, and, I'm afraid, it certainly doesn't. Mere existence, even significance within a small group of people but not outside of it, is insufficient for inclusion. Largoplazo (talk) 06:18, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability. Page creator has used WP:BOMBARDMENT to try to establish notability and stated on the talk page that The core hoodie project has had 59 contributors and 2000+ stars on github. I hope this shows General notability. This just shows people are using some code published to github. Nothing about this is notable. There are hundreds of thousands of packages on GitHub. Doesn't mean they all get pages on Wikipedia. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:10, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Here's my two cents: Not all Github packages should get Wikipedia entries, but some do i.e. the notable ones :-)
The work on beginner-friendliness and commitment to inclusion and diversity (as noted in one of the references) is notable IMHO.
Hoodie is a javascript package similar in size and notability as these packages (which have also have Wikipedia articles):
https://github.com/DmitryBaranovskiy/raphael/
https://github.com/chaplinjs/chaplin
Or closely related project
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CouchDB
Significant coverage - The WP:BOMBARDMENT was done in good faith to show that a number of different sources pointed to this being notable (and as general good practice to support claims made in Wikipedia). The references show "Significant coverage" with more than trivial mention. There are hits on Google Books & Stack Exchange and Hacker News (although not on Google News). That said, there are no books published entirely or significantly about Hoodie (AFAIK).
Reliable - There are a number secondary, independent sources cited.
Independent of the subject - The article excludes advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website (except for the link/logo where appropriate). Hoodie project is non-commercial.
I guess these things are subjective but my gut feeling was this project was really interesting (at least to me) because it breaks down barriers between frontend and backend of web design - thus helps more people easily create web applications. And that's important to know/notable for web developers and people interested in the web. And I was surprised there wasn't a Wikipedia article about it. I don't contribute much to Wikipedia in terms of edits (mainly because its coverage is so amazing!) but when I see a gap I do occasionally spend the time to fill it. --Fozy81 (talk) 22:47, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It just about meets the GNG in my judgment. The Infoworld article cited in the article is a reliable source. This article from Sitepoint (who are a reliable source in my view - they have an editorial process, they publish books, are generally well-respected) and this tutorial from Gadget Magazine (similar). The opensource.com article used in the references also contributes to notability, although in a different way - in being about the community management side of the project. Opensource.com seems to be a reliable source - they have an independent editorial oversight process with named authors and editors, the authors seem to be reasonably knowledgable about the subject matter. Four sources, broadly reliable and GNG compliant. I'd agree that number of contributors or 'stars' on Github are not a measure of notability (hell, I wrote WP:NUMFRIENDS!) but the GNG is still met regardless. I'm also not keen on accusing new editors of WP:BOMBARDMENT. One should assume good faith. The citations listed in the article are not a measure of notability under GNG, nor does the presence of a larger number of citations than might be expected for an article of that length mean that it is an attempt to feign being GNG. (An article can be unreferenced and still be GNG compliant, or it could have 50 citations and not meet the GNG. Part of the point of an AfD discussion is to verify whether the article is notable under GNG or other notability guidelines precisely because the references—or lack thereof—don't immediately answer that question.) —Tom Morris (talk) 13:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There are some geographic sources mentioning this but it is unclear to the exact location of this landform, my best guess is that it is used to refer to various islets between Brabant and Liege Island, all of which are pretty much rocks no bigger than maybe 40 cubic feet a piece. There are probably hundreds of thousands of these in the Palmer Archipelago, and it doesn't make sense to have an article on all of them. Here it is on Google maps], if you want to try and make some sense of it. I originally thought it could be the large-ish island of about 4km sqaured a little south of Liege Island, but after further research this appears to be Davis Island (Palmer Archipelago). Also, there are no sources for anything in this article and I think some or all of it may be a hoax.AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 08:40, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One of a hundred non-notable uninhabited remote Antarctic islands. Article has no references, and does not qualify under WP:GEOLAND or separately under WP:GNG.

  • Keep Has received non-trivial coverage in sources [30], the unsourced material may need to be removed for verifiability is an issue. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per source identified by User:Champion, and presumably other mentions of this small, cold island. Some other editor may boldly merge it into Palmer Archipelago if that were restructured to hold a bit more detail on the individual islands. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The mention of the island in the reference above is a WP:TRIVIAL one that does not include any in-depth coverage. But perhaps a merger into the Palmer Archipelago article would be more appropriate than deletion. KDS4444 (talk) 15:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP of a political organizer with no strong evidence of notability for anything more than existing. The referencing here consists of one article about the end of her personal relationship with Eliot Spitzer, and one article which namechecks her existence a single time as a giver of soundbite in an article about something else -- there's no substantive coverage being cited here about her work. As always, political campaign managers are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles the moment it becomes nominally possible to verify that they exist -- they earn Wikipedia articles by being the subject of enough substantive media coverage to pass WP:GNG.

For wikipedia article, subject must have significant coverage in reliable, independent sources to show notability. The dated references of these articles on business rumours and a blog does not define significant, nor reliable coverage. As noted in the first time this article was deleted it appears that this is an obvious attempt to add Donald Trump controversy relating to anyone who has known him. Because this individual may have done business with Donald Trump at some point does not make him notable notability. Singhaarav52 (talk) 23:18, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or draftify. Only major coverage comes from Rock, Paper, Shotgun (search for Retro-Pixel Castles), and it's just announcements. Wait until the article starts to have substantive reviews from multiple, reliable sources. If the author wants to work in draftspace, fine, otherwise deletion is the best route.
