Fails WP:BIO. The sources are either personally written by article subject/company, or are not reliable, or are just directory listings. Deleted a couple of times via WP:PROD already, restored by WP:REFUND requests (which revealed the article was written by a fan to "spread the word"). Time to settle this once and for all in AFD. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:46, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Consensus that WP:GNG is not met, and some doubts about WP:NFOOTY as well. Note that WP:NSPORTS (of which WP:NFOOTY is a section) states, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. ansh 666 06:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Scrapes a pass at NFOOTY but fails GNG. One substitute appearance is unlikely to generate sufficient coverage to pass GNG which trumps topic specific criteria. A case of WP: TOOSOON Domdeparis (talk) 23:46, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not going to vote in this case, but there are some sources where is either partially the subject of the source ([1] and [2]) and where he is the main subject of the source ([3]). If you look, you'll note it's not a mere passing mention, the article is about two footballers, of which the subject here is one of the footballers in question on the article. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 07:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The source is nothing more than a report of a quote from the boss of the club he plays for, to the official site of the club he plays for, and to be perfectly honest when you look at it, it is neither in-depth coverage nor from secondary sources. Domdeparis (talk) 08:50, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:FOOTY and made his debut only last month on 4 October 2017 and currently plays for a fully professional league team .SNGs including WP:FOOTY exist to provide for the inclusion of certain defined subjects that cannot immediately be shown to pass GNG. An SNG provides for a presumption of notability, not a presumption of non-notability An SNG cannot be used to exclude/delete an article when the subject passes GNG, but the reverse is patently absurd because that would negate the entire reason for the existence of SNGs particularly for a player currently playing and only 20 years old.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:43, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SNG are there to avoid speedy and prodding. In the FAQs on the NSPORT page it states "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from reliable sources are available, given sufficient time to locate them.[1][2][3][4] Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not he/she has attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline. Also refer to Wikipedia's basic guidance on the notability of people for additional information on evaluating notability." My point is that one substitute appearance is unlikely to have generated any sources so even given sufficient time to search they will not be found. Domdeparis (talk) 10:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So to resume, it is WP:TOOSOON. This may be his last appearance for a professional club; We do not create articles just because we suspect that a subject will become notable, this is an encyclopedia and not a crystal ball. if you like maybe a redirect to the club so as not to lose the history but there is no reason to leave the article as it is I believe...but I have been wrong before! Domdeparis (talk) 11:16, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. Fenix down (talk) 11:49, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A few minutes of play in a cup competition is the narrowest way to satisfy NFOOTBALL, and a review of online sources indicates there is no chance this article would pass the GNG. There is a long-standing precedent at AfD to delete articles like this (e.g., recently at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wouter Soomer). We should not use WP:CRYSTAL to argue that this footballer will eventually play more minutes of professional football and have a career significant enough to have GNG-compliant sourcing. If it happens, the article can obviously be re-created. Jogurney (talk) 16:37, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't agree with the "1 sub appearance isn't enough" argument since it's no better than the guideline in being conclusory and, unlike the guideline, does not have the mandate of the community. That being said, the single appearance was in the third-tier cup competition against a U21 team. So that is not two pro teams, but a pro team against a youth team. RonSigPi (talk) 00:12, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear my comment is not that it is not enough to pass the topic specific guidelines because it would be had it been a qualifying match (which apparently it wasn't) but as per the NSPORT guidelines there has to be sufficient presumption that his appearances will have generated enough coverage for him to pass GNG and that it is likely that the sources can be found given enough time. My argument is that 1 sub performance is unlikely to have generated enough coverage to pass GNG hence my nomination. So for me it is TOOSOON. Domdeparis (talk) 00:27, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't satisfy NFOOTBALL as the EFL Trophy match against West Brom's Academy isn't a competitive match between two "fully-pro" clubs. Also, there is no indication the article could pass the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 15:21, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RonSigPi (talk) 00:15, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear about my nomination, it is not that 1 sub appearance in a qualifying match (which this one wasn't if I understand rightly) is not enough to pass the topic specific guideline, it clearly is but what i am saying is in accordance with the statement in the FAQs here Wikipedia:Notability_(sports) which state

  A1: The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from reliable sources are available, given sufficient time to locate them. Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not he/she has attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline

My reasoning is that there is no strong reason to believe that 1 substitute appearance has generated sufficient coverage. None have been provided so I believe that there is no reason to keep this article. It is WP:TOOSOON for me. When the player has opened for the 1st team in a fully pro senior match then it is possible that coverage exists over and above routine match coverage. Domdeparis (talk) 11:41, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't believe the single appearance in the EFL Trophy match can be viewed as satisfying NFOOTBALL per Domdeparis above (Premier League Academy teams cannot realistically be viewed as "fully-pro sides"). Moreover, even if we assume that the match is sufficient for NFOOTBALL purposes, we have a long-standing precedent at AfD to delete these kinds of articles where a footballer only has a handful of minutes of play and its clear the article cannot satisfy the GNG (e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wouter Soomer).

Delete - I don't see much out there for references in the English language. Of those I do, nothing would satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Maybe if someone was able to provide something more substantial in Dutch. Otherwise, there really isn't anything that can be approved with the article. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:44, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there is barely enough reference to meet WP:GNG.

Oliver Isaacs[edit]

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

This is a fairly spammy biography of a fairly non-notable person. There is a suspicion that it was submitted by an undisclosed paid editor (although I do not know the details of how that was determined).

The first version of the article was a blatant copyright violation (see Talk:Oliver Isaacs for details) and could have easily been speedily deleted but since then there has been a good faith effort to clean it up. It still scores 49% on Earwig's Copyvio Detector and I don't think that it is fixable without reducing the article to less than a valid stub.

So to the question of notability. This guy does get a write up in Forbes, for what that is worth, in one of their endless "Top n young x" type articles, and he does get called an "influencer", whatever that means. He has even managed to get himself described as a "genius" (presumably not in the Wile E. Coyote sense of the term) by some of the rather thin sources. I don't see enough notability to justify an article about him and certainly not a plagiarised hagiography. DanielRigal (talk) 18:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

UPE meat comments preserved

Hi -I've added / transferred my points from the talk page here>

Just to clarify, I'm a fan of Oliver before you start accusing me of things and have been following him for over a year on his social media channels and learnt a lot from him. I look up to him as a role model. I believe there is an instigated campaign to remove this article despite it meeting the notability and copyright guideliness. He is more than notable based on the below.

Oliver is a tech entrepreneur, having founded a number of well known business, cryptocurrency investor and social media influencer with a huge following online - he is also public figure verified across his channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. He has links to some of the most well known / famous influencers, and entrepreneurs in the world.

He has been featured among many others in Business Insider, International Business Times, The Next Web, Forbes (by notable writers) and has a huge following, network and links online. His videos receive in excess of a few hundred thousand views each time and he is linked to some very well known notable public figures.

To answer your points -you clearly write on the talk page: I had never heard of the guy until yesterday. This line demonstrates bias - you can try to explain it all you want but you are not following the guidelines and this is your own view / opinion too. I have no need to report you but as I mentioned earlier it looks odd that you seem very biased. I was merely making the point on the talk page there is no reason for you to have heard of Oliver as you don't seem to do anything related to tech investing or social media.

Re paid editor status not too sure why you think this is the case as there seems to be no link or proof of this. It seems to be merely an accusation and innocent until proven guilty should apply - again another way to discredit this person falsely - I'd recommend an investigation to disprove this. As far as I can see there is no proof of this and someone who had their account blocked mentioned it - which doesnt seem to be even related or linked to the original author.

The guidelines for notability clearly state: Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity.

Indeed, there are many people on wikipedia who are not very famous - there are different levels of fame / being a public figure is different and he is clearly notable based on his achievements and reliable sources and much more notable than many people with existing pages- 15 million network, huge following, numerous full featured articles in major publications, verified across all social media platforms, links to very famous social media influencers like Julius Dein etc. You calling international business times not reliable again seems odd - not sure you can get more reliable than IB Times/.

Having this amount of followers and network he has also makes him worthwhile let alone all the other accomplishments he has done. I saw in Julius Dein's talk page who has 15 million followers you wanted to remove this article - then you changed your mind- looks like your just going around pages trying to have them deleted.

Your mentioned the article is plagiarised / copyright issues - its not / minimal -it clearly states on Oliver's site this in the middle of the site under any text:All rights released of content / pictures / and text and available / permission granted for the public domain - a similar line is also written under his pictures. As per the guidelines freely available content is permitted. Its difficult to re-write some bits as a lot of it is stats and facts which can't be re-worded. I have even spent time trying to re-word it and you keep reverting my changes and references everytime - another way you come across bias.

As per wikipedia's copyright guidelines: Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. In all cases, an inline citation following the quote or the sentence where it is used is required. Copyrighted text that is used verbatim must be attributed with quotation marks or other standard notation, such as block quotes.

It looks like you are clinging on to anything you can think of to remove the article - thats why it led me to believe you have another agenda.

Under the notability guidelines I believe Oliver merits an article:

A topic is presumed to merit an article if:

It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.

I believe the article is notable due to the below:

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. = INC, Business Insider, International Business Timees, Forbes (from reputable writers) etc

"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. = INC, Business Insider, International Business Timees, Forbes (from reputable writers) etc --wikieditions (talk) 22:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding

Here is a list of all the sources I could find about Oliver

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES

http://www.ibtimes.com.au/oliver-isaacs-tech-genius-investor-influencer-offers-his-thoughts-how-be-successful-tech-startup

Search for Oliver in this Scholarly Journal on page 8 : http://docdro.id/6g1mbTH

Quote = Overall, these leaders combine strong development experience with seasoned advisors who have generated significant accomplishments in the technology industry.

Oliver Isaacs, tech influencer and investor, expressed a similar sentiment, stating that the organization “has a very strong management team with serious credentials.”

Forbes authors are professionally vetted and, in most cases, may have credentials that allow the specific author to qualify under the self-published source criteria (established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications, but must never be used as third-party citations on statements relating to living persons).

e.g The author is very pronounced in the financial and cryptocurrency investing world:

Charles Bovaird, a financial writer and consultant, is the author of more than 200+ publications covering digital currencies, which appear in CoinDesk, Forbes and Bitcoin Market Journal. Mr. Bovaird has worked for financial institutions including State Street, Moody’s Analytics and Citizens Commercial Banking, and his work has appeared in publications including Forbes, Washington Post and Fortune. He has given speeches on financial literacy for Mensa and Boston Rotaract. The author is very pronounced in the financial and cryptocurrency investing world:

His work has appeared in publications including Forbes, Washington Post and Fortune. He has given speeches on financial literacy for Mensa and Boston Rotaract.

--wikieditions (talk) 22:57, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Based off Isaacs' initial plagiarism scores, it is apparent that the article was made rapidly and haphazardly. After the pages most recent edit, his score has reduced significantly (15.3%).

Now, with the inclusion of reputable sources Isaacs has been mentioned in (Forbes, businessinsider.com, huffpost,observer), he is in compliance with the Wiki's general nobility guidelines. His own personal following, his association with high-profile personnel, and the amount of coverage give enough reason to warrant the validity of celebrity.

The new edit is also compliance with the biography of living persons stipulations.

Despite small transgressions, there should be no reason for admins to resort to speedy deletion. Everything from this point on can be edited and reworked, same as every other page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gserrano0 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a TOU violation on a BLP subject matter. Notability doesn't even matter here, the content has no right to be on Wikipedia to even be assessed for notability, so I'm not going to play that game and argue against it or for it. I'll also go ahead and spell out why we typically delete UPE pieces of BLPs: UPE opens them up to blackmail and extortion (see both the Orangemoody article and LTA case). While this is not an OM claim, we almost always act in favour of deletion of BLPs in cases like this, and helping UPEs to further exploit a living person (as they probably did to !vote keep on this AfD) is contrary to simple human decency. There is no need to even assess this for any other factors. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:46, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Colin Teichholtz[edit]

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

Article appears to fail WP:BIO. Once all the personal life information is stripped away (including the various jobs he has filled over the years) there appears to be little to which to claim notability. A further quick search also reveals nothing particularly notable. Additionally the references, though plentiful, generally only mention Colin with the few focused on the individual failing to display any strong indications of notability. Finally the article appears to be practically an orphan (bar the one mention on a list of Harvard graduates) within Wikipedia with no unlinked mentions either. Vasemmistolainen (talk) 01:12, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The Reuters source and Business Insider source are both in-depth from strong publishers. There is also a vast amount of other coverage in top RS sources, though not all are as truly in-depth. The individual ran billions in dollars in funds, definitely notable. Odd that the page was marked as reviewed just before this AFD came up, not from a reviewer, but an non-extended-confirmed account.

Delete. No coverage found in reliable sources. Normally with a band name that gives a lot of false positives I would combine it with the band's home town, names of band members, album titles, etc. In this case, with so little info, the only one of these that seemed likely to get any results was album titles, and this still drew a blank. --Michig (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:BAND and WP:GNG as there is absolutely no coverage of them in independent sources anywhere. Lots of POV statements, lots of peacock language, and strong suspicions that this article was written by someone close to the band – if nobody knows who the members are, then how do they know which cities they come from?

None of the references mention this subject. This link just says "Pretty men in history", lists 5 men and doesn't mention Song Yu.

This page should NOT be deleted for several reasons. There are many reliable and 100% accurate websites and information online about Jordan Lawson’s career and work. I for one have done my research on this person and his work. He is a pretty well known actor and musician in the LA area from what I can see online and hear from others as well. Also, all the information about his work on this page is verifiable online and I also taken the time to make sure this is accurate and correct. The only reason ANYONE would want this page (which has been on Wikipedia for years) deleted, is because they must have some sort of beef or grudge they are holding against the Actor/Musician. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be taking all their time trying to have this page deleted. Just my opinion. This page belongs on Wikipedia, is correct and the person “Jordan Lawson” it is about is a popular enough individual to be on this website as well. Thanks and god bless!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:6012:4D00:446A:D788:4B7:EE4 (talk) 02:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC) — 2605:E000:6012:4D00:446A:D788:4B7:EE4 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. I tried erasing the “deletion” page for Jordan Lawson but this was unsuccessful at the time. Someone (most likely the person who originally made the deletion page) re-added it back on Jordan Lawson’s Page. I’ve read the comments and information about this page. Being someone who takes Wikipedia seriously, I cannot see any part of this actor and musician’s page that should be removed. All of the information on the page, as well as the individual’s known reputation verifies the accuracy of the page and leads me to believe this page should not be deleted. I agree with Roger Moore who also commented about this earlier. The person or persons who created this deletion page does not understand and/or know who the person actually is. This person is a public figure and I know who he is. Many other people that I have asked also know who Jordan Lawson is and agree with the Wikipedia page and information about him in it. Jordan Lawson is on many different websites and all of this on his page has been verified years ago. Probably before the Wikipedia page about him was even created. So it shouldn’t be deleted and is a valuable addition to this website for fans and anyone who enjoys Jordan’s work. I also am adding this last bit of info with my comment here as well. I realized that there are quite a few Wikipedia pages that mention Jordan Lawson and his work. For example, there are music pages, instrument pages, Acting pages, different city pages, schools, etc that all list him because he is notable enough to be and the 20-25 pages I’ve seen so far all seem to agree about his reputation, work, popularity, etc. That is all.

Delete Long-winded speeches aside (both seemingly posted by the same user under different IPs, no less), the subject is completely non-notable as both a musician and an actor. There's no getting around the fact that the article was basically created as a promotional piece. Only sources cited were PR interviews that do not comply with Wikipedia's citation guidelines.

Note A group of unregistered users, including 2605:E000:6012:4D00:78F1:F70:74A9:AA6E, are currently collaborating on a draft for an all-male band called Rocket, of which Jordan Lawson is a member. I say "all male" because an article (since deleted) on an all-female band named Rocket had been hijacked and rewritten about the male band under the same article title, mainly by anon accounts. It was reverted to the original version on November 7, and the next day the draft was created. The male band has never had a Wikipedia article due to lack of notability. Given the fervor of those herein opposing the deletion of Jordan Lawson (only anons so far), coupled with the similar promotional-sounding and poorly-sourced tone of the draft plus the timing of its creation and the edit histories of its creators, they are more than likely connected with — or actually are — the band and/or Lawson, and are openly attempting to promote both subjects on Wikipedia. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 02:56, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

11 Years Later[edit]

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

Entirely plot; attempted to redirect by standard method, but was reverted. No expansion has been given on the article since it was created and tagged. -- Alex^TW 05:11, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The fact that the article is "entirely plot" and has long had an {{all plot}} tag is hardly a reason for deletion. Hell, {{all plot}} isn't even a content tag – it's a style tag!

WP:ASSESS defines a start-class article as:

An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources. The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent. The article should satisfy fundamental content policies, such as BLP. Frequently, the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted. [emphasis added]

Based on the standard that appears to be implied by this nomination, all stub-class articles and most start-class articles that have not been expanded in a few years should be deleted. To use such a standard would certainly be at odds with a community-wide consensus (as is reflected in guidelines such as WP:STUB). 142.160.131.202 (talk) 05:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas - The article has an excessively long plot section. The plot should be no longer than 500 words but it's around 1,000. It is weak in every area except the infobox and even that needs expansion. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:57, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The episode received enough secondary coverage as the pilot of the revival season, and the article is appropriately tagged to encourage expansion. Articles don't need to be perfect to exist. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:39, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article was tagged over a month ago and no such expansion has occurred. I see no proof in the article of enough "secondary coverage". -- Alex^TW 15:19, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just because the article hasn't been expanded in the last month doesn't mean it won't be next month. The fact that tags have not been addressed is not a reason to delete the article, sorry. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, it would be valid for deletion next month, then? And what does the article provide that no other article hasn't yet? I see a plot and one review, easily listable on the season article. -- Alex^TW 01:13, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It provides the possibility for an article that will be promoted from start class. What you're describing is very much in line with a start-class article. 142.160.131.202 (talk) 04:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:PLOT. Wikipedia articles should not be summary-only descriptions of works, which this article quite clearly is. Such articles are regularly deleted at AfD or redirected. For example, check Category:The West Wing redirected episode articles. All of those used to be articles, demonstrating that the Wikipedidia community supports WP:PLOT and endorses the deletion of articles like this. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are right -- Wikipedia articles should not be summary-only descriptions of works. But that is not a reason for deleting an article about a notable episode just because it has not yet been fully expanded. This article just needs to be expanded not deleted. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:45, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was tagged as being almost all plot a month ago,[5] yet no attempt to reduce the size of the plot or otherwise expand the the article was made until after Alex redirected it. Experience has shown that the longer an article sits in an unnaceptable state, the less chance there is that it will be fixed. People say articles can be fixed, but they never are. That's what happened to those 129 The West Wing episodes. An alternative to deletion is to move the article to draft space, which Alex suggested in this edit summary, but it never was. That's probably the best option at this point. The unimproved draft will probably be deleted in a few months but at least there is a bit of hope there. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, we don't delete articles just because they are subpar. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not just sub-par, it consists almost entirely of a plot and WP:PLOT, which is policy, says such articles shouldn't exist. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:59, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If we're just going to ignore secondary coverage or critical reception and just focus on the plot tag, then I give up. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The secondary coverage doesn't seem to cover much. Since the AfD tag was added, references added to the article are pretty trivial. Four were added to support the claim that the episode is the first episode of the ninth season, something that really didn't need references. Another two were added to support a claim regarding viewers, which are already mentioned in the episode list article. The entire "Ratings and reception" is sadly lacking. At best this article is a draft. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:25, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Weak keep favoring redirect I'm not convinced that this article has the potential to be improved within a reasonable timeframe. While I believe that it is certainly possible to establish notability for the subject, no editor has so far taken it upon themselves to improve the article. As it stands, the plot section dominates the article, the reception section is literally bare bones, and nothing is mentioned of the episode's development and production. --haha169 (talk) 14:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"While I believe that it is certainly possible to establish notability for the subject" -- ~~thanks for voting to keep the article, then~~ this is an argument for keeping the article. Again, we don't delete articles about notable topics just because "no editor has so far taken it upon themselves to improve the article". ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:02, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They did not vote to keep it, do not twist other editor's words to suit your own agenda. That is unacceptable and will make your position here even less acceptable than it currently is. And given the evidence given by the other editor's here, we certainly do delete unimproved articles - it is actually a common practice. -- Alex^TW 15:05, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fine. I struck out my comment and noted the editor's admission that the topic is notable. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have an interest in this article and its subject, so why don't you start drafting something in your sandbox or the draft space instead of arguing at AfD? Even if it ends up deleted or redirected, if you can present a solid article at any time in the future, no one will object re-creating this article. But as it stands now, this article has not established notability, and potentially notable is not acceptable for an article to remain in the mainspace. --haha169 (talk) 02:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Alex, Aussie and haha. If there is notability to the episode as Another Believer feels, then I say make this article a redirect, and start crafting the article in the draft space. An all plot article should not be sitting around waiting to be expanded, because as Aussie said, Experience has shown that the longer an article sits in an unnaceptable state, the less chance there is that it will be fixed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, redirecting makes more sense than deleting, since the redirect would still serve a purpose by directing readers to the season article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Except you reverted me when I redirected the article, which prompted this AFD. -- Alex^TW 23:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@AlexTheWhovian: Right, because I think the subject of the article is notable. I'm not advocating for redirecting, I'm just agreeing that redirecting is more appropriate than actually deleting. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then create the article in the draft space and prove that it is notable. And I did redirect it, but you forced my hand to nominate it for deletion. If you believed it more appropriate, you would have gone for that option, created a valid article, then moved it back to the main space. -- Alex^TW 02:25, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Better to start a draft where production info and a proper reception section can be worked on. - Brojam (talk) 19:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as 95% of the article is a summary of a creative work. The creative work's existence is cited four times, it's viewership twice, and two magazines' opinions are cited once each. 321 bytes of reliably-cited prose does not a notable article make. — fourthords | =Λ= | 21:20, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to reviewing/closing admin: Just for the record, and then I'll move on because I'm not going to fight hard for a television episode, editors are not using one of these reasons for deleting an article to support their comments. In fact, one even said the subject is notable. Just because an article has issues or tags does not mean it should be deleted. Somewhat ironically, the IP editor commenting throughout this discussion is the one making the most sense. Thanks, and happy editing, all! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:56, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. No one has flat out said the article's subject is not notable. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Because it could be notable. It just isn't in its current state. That's why you're being suggested to create the article in the draft space. -- Alex^TW 23:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Claiming that editors haven't used Wikipedia:Deletion policy is disingenuous. Editors have addressed the notability problems; I specifically addressed the problem with the way that references have been used to support trivial points. Alternatives to deletion, specifically WP:ATD-R and WP:ATD-I have also been addressed. On the keep side, all we've seen is WP:ITSNOTABLE, which is an argument to avoid. --AussieLegend (✉) 04:31, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Now the article is not just made of a plot summary. I just wrote a bigger reception section :) Lady Junky (talk) 23:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A bigger reception article does not an article make. The extended plot summary still almost solely comprises the whole article, and any reception could be included in the season article. Look for other episode articles for example - there needs to be production information, real-world content, cast, release information, etc. -- Alex^TW 00:08, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You really do not like these pages, do you? ^^' We have so many episode articles with less than that, and no one seems to have a problem with it ^^ I really don't see what's the problem here. Lady Junky (talk) 03:50, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there appears to be plenty of third-party, reliable sources discussing this episode in particular. I am not sure about the discussion of the current state of the article or whether or not users have improved it in a timely manner. The discussion should focus on whether or not this has received enough independent coverage to support notability, and I believe that it has (I can see quite a bit of coverage after looking through just Google News). Aoba47 (talk) 02:28, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have changed and added stuff to the article since the beginning of this discussion ^^ Lady Junky (talk) 03:50, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep--so improve it. obviously a notable episode. BTW I am all in favor of deleting almost every individual episode of every TV show, but this one made waves. Drmies (talk) 03:56, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's what the draftspace is for. -- Alex^TW 05:47, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I second Alex. The onus is on the editor(s) who wish to keep the article to improve it to satisfy notability requirements. As of yet, the article still gives undue weight to the plot section and lacks any discussion of the production side of things (conception, development, casting, and release) that is necessary for any TV episode article. The reception section has been improved significantly, but it still lacks any sort of general synthesis (such as, "many critics lauded the episode for xxx") and is merely a list of quotations. Of course, an article doesn't need to be fully complete to avoid deletion, but I am not satisfied the current state is enough. I agree it needs to be improved, but the onus is on those of you who wish to keep it to do so. --haha169 (talk) 14:24, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion should focus entirely on notability. I respectfully disagree with the following statement: "I agree it needs to be improved, but the onus is on those of you who wish to keep it to do so.". The idea of improving the article is a separate issue that I do not feel is directly relevant in an AfD context. When looking through the WP:GNG (General notability guideline), it is all about proving this idea "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list". I have always seen notability/significant coverage as the primary argument to whether an article or a list should be kept/merged/redirected/deleted. So I would pivot your statement to say that the onus for support voters should be in pointing out sources that prove this idea of "significant coverage". As someone who does articles on topics related to television series, this is not how I personally go about things. I do personally it differently than whoever created this particular article (I always build up the article to a certain point in my sandbox before moving things over to the main page) so I can understand the sentiments felt by the delete votes and the votes to move this into a draft space. My only concern is that is more dealing with personal preference rather than directly going back to Wikipedia policy. I am not personally tied to this particular subject matter, but I just wanted to fully explain my vote in the context of this ongoing conversation, and I will leave it up to future reviewers and the closer to figure it out either way. Aoba47 (talk) 18:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You make some excellent points and after reading your arguments I am inclined to switch my position on this issue. The article is in a much different state than when I originally cast my vote. I still personally believe this article needs to be moved to draftspace for very significant improvements, but I'll withdraw my delete vote because I think this article does at the very least meet WP:GNG. --haha169 (talk) 04:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment. I think that it is important to have an open discussion while still respecting and understanding one another's opinions. The article has improved since it was put up for the AfD. I agree that more improvements can and should be made in the future, and I would highly encourage whoever made this article to pause and do some work in a draft space when making a new article to adequately avoid notability concerns. Aoba47 (talk) 06:03, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - passes WP:V, NPOV, and NOR per Icewhiz and ja:本多忠朝. I'm not sure how large a 100,000 koku fief is - it seems likely that these numbers were embellished and his fief couldn't really pay a tax of enough rice to feed 100,000 people for a year - but looking at the relative sizes, such a fief seems to equate to an important political figure, suggesting he passes WP:NPOL.

Keep - I have already added a Japanese reference to the article from Kotobank, the reference book aggregation site run by the Asahi Shinbun, one of Japan's largest newspapers. There are also a good number of other Japanese references online, such as [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], etc., though since this is medieval history, not everything is online.

Keep obvious keep given the importance of this historical figure in Japan. Deleting this would be a travesty similar to people on jp.wiki agreeing to delete someone relevant like Ulysses S. Grant because they can't read US history books. (I would find a better comparison, but the US hadn’t been invented during this time period so I compromised, a better comparison would probably be a European general of that period. my point is that we should be reasonably lenient to figures from other cultures which we have limited knowledge of.) Additionally, historical figures are almost always considered notable if there are at least some sources mentioning them, which is now the case. Dysklyver 10:46, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic law in Constantinople[edit]

WP:OR and WP:NOTESSAY article on a dubious topic: the author somehow conflates Byzantine history between 1204 and 1453 and the Ottoman era, the Byzantine society with Shari'a law and Mehmed II's treatment of the patriarchate, etc. The topic of the article is rather unclear, and its structure doesn't make clear what arguments the author advances.

Delete - It hardly has anything to do with the topic described in the page name, and as was pointed out on its talk page when created it reads like an essay, and one with the distorted frame of reference pointed out by the nom. The majority of the article isn't even about shari'a, but rather is about pre-conquestt Byzantine bureaucracy, while the final section on actual post-conquest shari'a (supposedly the topic) seems almost an afterthought, with generalities about shari'a that seem to represent synthesis and parts reading like personal opinion/essay, a tone that has been in the article from the start. While there may be a place on Wikipedia to discuss the implementation of Islamic law on the newly-conquered citizenry of Constantinople, this isn't it, and misses the mark to such a degree that it appears to be a case for WP:TNT. Agricolae (talk) 17:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with Agricolae. An article with this title could be suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. This content could possibly be useful at an article with a different title. I'd support some more complicated solution (such as WP:HEY or draftify if someone wanted to take on the project) if someone were willing to enact it, but as it is, this is not encyclopedic content under this title and it has been tagged long enough that no fix is likely. Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:07, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Draftify content is important and subject is also notable. But right now it reads like an essay. D4iNa4 (talk) 14:31, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Probably delete possibly userify to give the creator an opportunity to resolve its issues. The article is trying to deal with two separate subjects. (1) Byzantium was a weak state between 1204 and 1453. There is an opportunity to explain to what extent (if any) there were Muslims (e.g. merchants) in Constantinople before 1453 and to what extent they were allowed to live under their own laws. (2) the Islamisation of the city after 1453 is a separate topic: the question is then the extent to which Christians were permitted to live under their own laws and (perhaps) to what extent Roman law still applied in commerce. Each of these might be capable of making a worthwhile article, perhaps with an intervening section on how Sharia law was applied in and just after 1453. The present article just will not do.

New links since those links have died: [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] Toohool (talk) 18:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I hope the closing Admin will consider something here critically. The above comment by Toohool is both deceptive and half-clever gaming of the system. In the surface, one will see 6 different websites (sources) but in reality they're one inaccessible website replicated six times. This can be verified by anybody either via opening them in six windows (like I did) or analyzing them through source code. I don't know why he think this trick can work at AfD. And this only further shows the article is unsourced and failed all criteria for inclusion in encyclopedia. When it was prodded in 2015 Toohool deprodded it and posted the same website: "info web.news bank.com" on the talkpage. He replicated the website 6 times also. Now he just copied them from the talkpage. I write this whith much constraint, but the trick is really unbecoming. — Ammarpad (talk) 19:34, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth are you talking about? I just tried the links in 3 different browsers and they all work. Those are links to 6 different news articles at NewsBank. NewsBank is a site that archives stories from many newspapers and other reliable sources. If they're not working for you for some reason, you can also probably access NewsBank through your local library and do the search yourself. Also, consider AGF before you go slinging accusations at people. Toohool (talk) 19:50, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Toohool: I am sorry if you think I didn't assume good faith on you. But before I wrote that I had gone to the first revision of the page all through. I tried each link at least two times and confirmed they lead to the same website. I, today after The Bushranger's post on my talkpage, asked two different people and they all confirm that it is the same website. Now the argument of of "Archive website" is a different thing, as I didn't say it is not archiving website, and it didn't allow unregistered people to see that, neither does it allow registration, which I could've done. I don't question your source because it is reg-only, or something like that, but sincerely since the page archive newspapers why don't sources the papers directly? These papers sources has been on the talkpage since 2015 (and the article unsourced since 2006) you've access to the site why should you leave it that way and say the source is in talkpage? If you have improved the article more than you depend its keeping, I don't think it can even come in this place now, but the only source you posted at talk are not accessible to willing editors, If I want now reference the article how can I do that with source I can't access and the article remained since 2006 with single self source. Now if this discussion is closed as kept, and you post these link at the talkpage again like you did here 2 years ago, please is that the way the article will continue existing? Do you think this is the right thing to do in the sprit of building Wikipedia? I am more of inclusionist on Wikipedia, as I believe many deleted pages could be useful, but I have searched for source on this article is no evidence this meat any of the points highlighted at WP:GNG and I still believe it should be deleted because Verifiability (in this case very little, not asserted since 2006) is not guarantee for inclusion on Wikipedia. It really exists and have website, but that's also invalid criterion for inclusion — Ammarpad (talk) 08:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I had tried the first talkpage link both from a site that appears to have Newsbank access and one that connects via a proxy (and through that appears to have access). In both case, I got: "Log in for complete access to this resource. There was an issue while searching for the article you requested... please contact customer service." Without at actual cites to the actual newspapers or exactly what search to do myself (note, "I found lots of search hits" itself isn't a WP:RS or WP:GNG claim), I can't figure out there to go further at that site, so I have no basis to change my !vote.

I have no strong opinions here, but the name "metropolitan region" doesn't appear to be a misnomer, it's for example here alongside "urban agglomeration". I don't know if this generally merits a standalone article (likely at a different title), but with the present state of the article and the large duplication with Gwalior, I think it's best to redirect it to Gwalior#Gwalior Metro and suburbs. – Uanfala 11:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re the "metropolitan region" link above - although census2011.co.in mentions "metropolitan region" the census itself only counted and spoke of urban agglomerations (UAs), eg see the Gwalior district census handbook. Googling finds no gov.in mention of either "Gwalior Metropolitan region" or "Gwalior Metropolitan area". Batternut (talk) 11:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

comments Content fork applies, re duplication between it and Gwalior#Gwalior Metro and suburbs. The only reliable information specific to the metro area is the population (fictitious in the metro article, correct in Gwalior). Batternut (talk) 11:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you think about redirecting to Gwalior then? I think this is fairly straightforward, and the only question is whether the redirect should be marked up as {{R from misnomer}} or not. – Uanfala 18:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I'd support (as proposer) a redirect Gwalior. I don't think I'd bother about tagging as a misnomer (but might be persuaded). Batternut (talk) 20:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If an article fails WP:NPOV, it should be rewritten or edited, not completely deleted. Pointing out flaws in a national government and having that get international coverage is WP:NOTABLE.

- We don't look at how old the site is, we look at its notability. If it have substantial coverage, we accept it. That's how Wikipedia works. And putting everything bold or in caps wont get you far in this discussion, since it looks like like you are yelling at your fellow Wikipedians.--Biografer (talk) 16:20, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Of course we look at it's notability. That's what the user of the IP is saying, that it's not notable. I no longer think it should be deleted. The sources that mention it do so as to look at the website's uniqueness in it's way of writing, which is essentially showcasing people believing fake news and other related articles. They do only have 60 thousand Facebook followers, but they have articles mentioning them from the Times of India, the BBC, and HuffPost. It should have a page, but the page should be rewritten entirely to make it seem like it's more like a news outlet and less like a group crusading against the evil fake news, which is what it sounds like now. _{Adotchar| reply here} 00:30, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - The IP is actually saying both things: 1. Its not notable and 2. Its only six months old (in caps). The second of which, would be better if he hadn't mentioned it, since it caused confusion (on my part at least). As for 60,000 Facebook followers: That is not how we establish notability. but they have articles mentioning them from the Times of India, the BBC, and HuffPost. - That is exactly what notability is. BBC, The Times of India, CNN, The New York Times, all of them are good sources. I would be careful with HuffPost since its mostly daily newspaper which might contain some gossips, so use it sparingly. :)--Biografer (talk) 03:27, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for contradictory nomination statement and below reason. The nominator want the article to be rewritten not deleted. He can easily do this or tag it for someone to do. AfD is for article to be deleted not ask for rewriting. Second, this article fairly meet the points of WP:NWEB by being directly subject of discussion in nworld renown media organization like BBC, The Telegraph and Times of India A careful WP:BEFORE whould've prevented this misnomination, almost all (if not all) the sources used are reputable and notable sources and they are not only mentioning the article merely as I have gone through entire contents 6 of them and skimmed the rest.

  - @Adotchar: that means you no longer want go ahead with deletion discussion? — Ammarpad (talk) 10:52, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - I would have closed it, but AFD guidelines say that you only can if everyone says keep, and you're the nominator. Everyone except the IP thinks the page should be kept. _{Adotchar| reply here} 10:57, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - There's clear consensus according to policies and guidelines and you withdraw the nomination since. One IP who never edit outside this AfD and have no strong rationale cannot overturn this consensus. — Ammarpad (talk) 11:28, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Winters Brothers[edit]

The article does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. This appears to me to be an unremarkable waste and recycling company. Notability hinges on the four articles in Newstimes, which in my assessment mostly feature the company talking about itself and appear to be the work of a PR company and would fail WP:ORGIND.

Delete Yes, I agree. The notability hinges on the Newstimes articles but they don't meet the criteria for establishing notability. References fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND, topic fails GNG. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 15:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I recently expanded on the article to discuss the significant railroad operations in the Connecticut and New York regions. This article describes a notable company in the Connecticut and Long Island regions, being the largest waste management company in these markets. For example, all of Waste Management's operations in Connecticut and New York (excluding NYC) are contracted through Winters Brothers. I disagree that the references cited fail Wikipedia's credibility standards, as the news articles were created by independent news sources and all company profiles and information about the company listed on Wikipedia are from third-party sources. There are several links to other pages on Wikipedia, including TWO railroad lines that the company operates with under contract. This article is also not a stub, and provides plenty of information as to the history of the company, and how it holds some of the largest waste management assets in the Northeast Untied States. I would not have taken the time to write this article if I did not feel this company had a significant economic impact on this region of the country, where most waste services are privatized. These are the reasons why I find this article to be significant, and I hope you take the time to review the recent changes I have made and hopefully reconsider. Rather than campaigning to delete these articles of mid-sized companies in the Northeast US, please help me to expand upon them. Thank you.--AirportExpert (talk) 14:39, 3 November 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert[reply]
- Comment The test for references to meet the criteria for establishing notability is not solely whether an article was created by an independent news source but the article must also be "intellectually" independent. Similarly, for the purposes of establishing notability, content published by third party sources must also be intellectually independent. Therefore references that rely almost exclusively on content prepared and/or published by the company or their officers is not considered intellectually independent and therefore these references do not assist in establishing the notability of this company. Of the references provided, none meet the criteria and fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.
  - This newstimes article relies exclusively on an interview with Mr. Winters, is not intellectually independent and contains no independent analysis or opinion and fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.
  - This newstime article from June 2011 also relies exclusively on information provided by the company, their employees and Mr. Winters, is not intellectually independent and contains no independent analysis or opinion. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.
  - The bloomberg profile is provided by the company, as are all profiles published by Bloomberg. It is not intellectually independent. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is a run-of-the-mill company description and fails WP:ORGIND as it is provided by the company.
  - This newstime article from March 2011 is largely based on a company announcement and quotations and/or an interview with company officers, is not intellectually independent and contains no independent analysis or opinion, fails WP:ORGIND.
  - This newstime article from July 2011 is largely based on a news conference held by Mr. Winters, contains no independent analysis or opinion, therefore fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.
  - This winterbros reference and this one are PRIMARY sources and fail the criteria for independence for the purposes of establishing notability.
  - This libn.com article on "trash trains" relies on quotations from Will Flower, a company officer, for information on Winters Bros and is therefore not intellectually independent and does not contain independent opinion or analysis in relation to Winters Bros, therefore fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH.
  - The reference from thereflectedpast.com and the hrrc.com reference make no mention of the Winter Bros.
  - This prnewswire reference is a company announcement, is therefore not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND.
  - this waste360.com reference is based on a news release (as is stated at the end of the second paragraph) and is largely based on a company press release and fails WP:ORGIND.
  - This reference from pehub.com is based on a press release from an investor, is therefore not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND.
- In my opinion and based on the points I've raised above, none of the provided references meet the criteria for establishing notability. None of the references are intellectually independent and it is a small part of the overall test to check that the articles were published by organisations independent of the company. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 15:36, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The author is notable, he appears in numerous movies as well as documentaries. A Google of his name or of his alias Desertphile turns up 55,000 hits, for his novels and his movies as well as newspaper interviews. Since "The Lure" documentary covering the Forrest Fenn treasure is being released in spots around the world, and since he is the iconic photograph used in the movie, it seems he's certainly a notable character for BLP. Damotclese (talk) 15:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep David Rice is well known around the world, you can Google his name and get pieces of the history of what he has done in the writing world and in the movie / documentary world, he's not notorious but he is a notable figure, on line as well as off line.

Just last week he was in Santa Fe, New Mexico signing autographs with other authors, there are photographs of him meeting with fans and other well known authors while wearing the same jacket and working-cowboy hat that he appears in on numerous newspaper interviews and in the latest movie "The Lure" which was shown in New Mexico.

Most people who work or recreate in the deserts of the Western United States have heard of him, he's considered to be a "new Edward Abbey" by writing critics. Most people who don't "do" the desert or do treasure hunts will not have heard of him, but he's a real person, he has real fame, he has real fans that, according to local reporters last week, bought him drinks and dinner, one bar tender saying he's "too pretty" to buy his own drinks.

Keep, however it should be noted that the biography is a stub.

Full disclosure: I know his brother in my work in infectious diseases, many of which are zoonotic and many of which are emergent due to changing environments and thus changing ecologies. Both brothers are people of note in certain circles, science circles as well as human rights and civil rights arenas, not to mention environmental arenas as well as novelists and, in David's case, in the movie theaters. BiologistBabe (talk) 21:39, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to this comment and the one above: it's not enough to insist that he's notable, you need to provide evidence of that in the form of reliable sources which are independent of the subject and offer significant coverage of him. Fyddlestix (talk) 21:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article's references and citations appear to be enough to establish the author's notoriety. His novels are not well known, Milkweed Publishing does not advertise publicly all of the books it publishes, I see, though the author's works are widely available and the BLP touches briefly on some of what one can find using Google. Wikipedia does not need to be all-inclusive, researchers interested in the person's history likely knows some about it, the guy is a character known around the world. Damotclese (talk) 01:02, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Biologist, I agree that the BLP is something of a stub, if the author had a publicist I would acquire his copy and flesh it out. Thing is, he's a notable character, equal to many other BLPs. Damotclese (talk) 01:04, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has suitable references and citations showing that the biography is accurate and yes, the references show that he's notable. 76.171.220.37 (talk) 00:24, 9 November 2017 (UTC)— 76.171.220.37 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Yes, the article contains references and citations showing that the actor is notable. More references could be added, as someone noted the BLP is something of a stub, it could be fleshed out with a list of movies and a list of novels, I suppose. Damotclese (talk) 00:41, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, lets look at the sources, shall we? There are currently 7 references in the article:

this is an excerpt from the subject's own writings that he posted himself on a WP:UGC site. Not independent, not even a RS. Cannot possibly confer notability.

This does not appear to be a RS either, it's just a list of BBSes that someone cobbled together from "various" (unamed) sources. It mentions David Rice once, and if we're genereous I suppose it might confirm that he ran one. But that's not a notable accomplishment.

This is a video on the subject's own youtube channel. Not indepenndent, probably not even a RS. Can't confer notability.

This is a blog. Not a RS, can't demonstrate notability.

This is a review of a documentary in which David Rice apparently appears, but it mentions Rice exactly once, in passing: There is one scene where one hunter David describes to Fenn what he would do if he finds the prize and it is rather creepy and a little bit disturbing. That's a passing mention if I ever saw one, they don't even use his full name. Does not demonstrate notability.

This is the subject's own website, for marketing his own (self-published) books. Not independent, not a RS. Cannot confer notability.

This is another review, of the same documentary mentioned above. David Rice is mentioned once, in a photo caption. Another passing mention which does not demonstrate notability.

I'd be happy to look at actual independent RS that actually demonstrate notability - but contrary to the two !votes above it's quite plain that none of the sources currently used in the article meet those criteria. Fyddlestix (talk) 03:38, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete little notability. He does not meet the notablity criteria for any of the any of the descriptions about him (cowboy, writer, actor), and certainly not for author – his books are self-published, and anybody can do that.

Delete. Every thunderstorm that happens at all does not automatically need a Wikipedia article just because the power goes out and there's some localized flash flooding — both of which are things that quite routinely happen in conjunction with thunderstorms. What we require is evidence that this would pass the ten-year test for enduring significance, such as perhaps a lightning strike setting Parliament on fire, or the Alexandra Bridge collapsing from the sheer volume of precipitation, or an actual tornado ripping through Barrhaven — and even if one of those things did happen, the actual article that resulted would be about those events rather than the thunderstorm per se. But three pieces of same-day coverage in the local media don't demonstrate enduring notability at all. (And, to boot, I'm going to be filing a sockcheck on the creator shortly, because the Ottawa aspect, coupled with the "anything that can be sourced at all automatically warrants an article" aspect, puts me just a little too much in mind of a previously-blocked user.)

Delete and redirect: Per Natureium's reasoning. Also, this "article" blatantly violates WP:NPOV and reads as an attack page. The editor who created this page can't get enough in slapping the words "fake news", "conspiracy theory", and "false" in every spot he can possibly find. Also, he misrepresents sources. The TIME source refers to Fox News as "mainstream", but this article says "more established conservative media" when attacking FNC and referring to its mention in the source. Also, reading the FNC source itself (which oddly isn't even cited in the article), FNC admits that the organizers have no intention of violence (is WaPo also to blame for promoting this conspiracy theory?). Thus, this garbage should be deleted. The title can be redirect to the Refuse Fascism article. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:23, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So you're saying that this "Antifa apocalypse" was NOT a conspiracy theory or fake? Can you point me to the closest smoldering ruins of our polity then? I somehow missed all the destruction and hellfire. No sources are being misrepresented, and I don't appreciate your accusation. Your bias is clouding your judgement. Volunteer Marek 16:29, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying that your bias is clouding your judgment -- we all know what your political views are, and I could tell it was your work when I read it (even before checking the article history). An editor who paid more attention to NPOV would have worded it much differently, at least using the sources you used. And no, I am not saying what you think I'm saying. Just because something is a conspiracy theory/fake news/etc. doesn't mean we should go overboard with using such terms in every place we can. --1990'sguy (talk) 21:18, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're struggling with actually addressing the question and instead have decided to comment on me personally. You also sound very familiar. Volunteer Marek 02:12, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Volunteer Marek: I know where you're going on the first part -- you want to drag me into a debate on whether this is actually fake news or not (which is completely irrelevant with my concerns). While I also think this is a hoax/fake news/conspiracy theory, I strongly disagree with shoving that fact in people's faces, and it won't even change people's opinions.

I also find it interesting that you are complaining about "comment[ing] on [you] personally," when you said the very exact same thing about me in your comment above. Also, you have have several comments recently where you made moralizing comments attacking others (like at Talk:Roy Moore), accusing me of being a POV-pusher, and now even implying (falsely) that I'm a sock. Your behavior is toxic, violates WP:PERSONAL, and I am seriously considering reporting you. --1990'sguy (talk) 02:38, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't imply you were a sock. But it's pretty clear where you're getting your talking points from. As to my comments on Roy Moore - you deserved every bit of it as your comments there were quite shameful. Volunteer Marek 02:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, more moralizing and demonizing people who don't hold the same views as youself. With this toxic behavior, you also deserve the treatment some editors give you.

According to Refuse Fascism, they claim not to be affiliated with Antifa, and the article also says that the claim of civil war was in response to protests that they were organizing on 4 Nov, though Infowars and other similar sources were simply using the umbrella term "Antifa" to describe the threat.

Did you actually bother reading the article? The article was NOT created to push a hoax. It's sort of funny that another editor right above is arguing that the article makes too much of this being a hoax and here you are confused on the subject. Volunteer Marek 02:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since the comment above agrees with me, your comment has no merit. If it was significant, the first edition of the article wouldn't have claimed it was a hoa. But this was so insignificant as to not warrant any mention until someone created it to spread the notion that these hoaxes were maintream. Wikipedia is not your forum for pushing fringe views. That includes the fringe view that this was a noteworthy hoax. --DHeyward (talk) 05:43, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Subject of article fails primary notability requirements such as WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO.

- Comment I cannot access the bloomberg article - perhaps you could summarise what is said about Goldstuck? From the snippets I have managed to find culled from the article, it appears that the article relies on an interview with Goldstuck or a series of quotations at the very least. This *may* be considered a PRIMARY source and *may* not be considered allowable for the purposes of establishing notability. Your second reference from billboard.com notes that Goldstuck was awarded with an award as follows: "The Spirit of Life Award, the highest honor bestowed by City of Hope, is presented annually to individuals who have made a notable contribution to their community and profession." According to WP:ANYBIO, a person meets the criteria if the person has received a well-known and significant award or honor. The award does not appear sufficiently notable to merit its own article here, nor is there any mention of the award in the City of Hope National Medical Center article so it does not appear to me that the award meets the criteria. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 17:45, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- an advertorially toned BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. The subject is not independently notable of TouchTunes where he "developed artists" etc. Notability is not inherited from notable artists either. The TouchTunes article looks to be heavily promotional as well. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The PDF here is actually from the gaming industry's RePlay Magazine not TouchTunes. Sorry, I don't have access to back issues of RePlay, but I am sure someone in the community could provide the actual article link. I also found several others here and [56] and [57]. I am not understanding the notability and independent sourcing issues when there are existing Wikipedia articles [58] much less sourcing/notability and the same award mentioned to be an issue.67.246.86.156 (talk) 14:27, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - there are five areas where notability could be argued - co-founder of J Records; President of RCA Music; President of BMG; successful music producer; and CEO of a company (TouchTunes) on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, there's little to no media coverage I can find on his tenures at those companies, or anything indicating he was directly responsible for the named musicians' successes. The Bloomberg article is good [59] but I'd like to see more to pass the notability threshold. The current company - TouchTunes, is itself borderline. I can't find very much coverage on them either. The reason this isn't a full delete but instead a weak delete is that there's another article on an RCA President Tom Corson that is similar in sourcing, but with slightly more coverage. I don't know enough about the management structure of a big music company to determine whether being President by itself is enough to show notability, but my instinct tells me there's not enough here. If we go delete, Corson and TouchTunes might warrant a look also. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:37, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. These sources are worth considering - BusinessWeek and Crain's Krada123 (talk) 14:33, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Hmmmm ... the BusinessWeek reference doesn't really have must to say about Charles Goldstuck - here's the text I can see in the abstract "Charles Goldstuck, TouchTunes chief executive officer, hopes to introduce the Virtuo overseas and says it could be a way for the music industry to make money in countries where piracy is rampant, such as China." So it provides his title and this paraphrases his own quotation. I would argue that it is not intellectually independent. Similarly, the Crain's reference has only published quotations from Goldstuck. Nothing independent. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 21:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for digging these up. The Esquire source being more about the company would lead me more to keeping the TouchTunes article, and the Soundnet source looks more like a marketing site, so I still don't think this is enough for Mr. Goldstuck to pass notability.

Comment. It seems like notability is moot when you look at an article like this Richard Palmese. Goldstuck A quick view of Clive Davis's book here mentions him throughout stating things like “Charles Goldstuck was clearly my anointed successor” Page 437, in "eighteen months Charles had attained significant stature and was well respected.” Page 447,“Charles Goldstuck and I negotiated the right for Alicia (Keys) to come to J Records” Page 455,and Strauss and L.A. (Reid) met with Charles (Goldstuck) and offered him everything under the sun to convince him to stay at Artista and work as L.A.’s (Reid) number two man.” Sounds like a major player in the music industry. I think his TouchTunes company might be small, but is most innovative within that industry and was even the subject of a Harvard Research review http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=47386 here]. These jukboxes can even call you a ride home from a bar [60] and CNET says they are biggest in-venue streaming service here. Blue2berry (talk) 03:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I agree, if pages like the two mentioned, Tom Corson and Richard Palmese, meet notability standards when they work below Goldstuck, no name recognition, etc. then seems like notability is moot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krada123 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The notability of Tom Corson and Richard Palmese has nothing to do with the notability of Charles Goldstuck. Notability isn't related or inherited. Tom may say that Charles is a fine fellow, but that doesn't bestow notability on him. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 19:24, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
CommentThat's not the point we were making. Comparatively those two entries are significantly less notable people than Goldstuck. He is all around a more prominent and notable figure. To me it doesn't really make sense that Goldstuck's notability is in question when you have entries like those. I think the Goldstuck entry needs editing but I don't think there's a question of whether it deserves to be up. Krada123 (talk) 14:53, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Demings[edit]

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

WP:BLP of a county sheriff, written differently enough from the first version to not qualify for immediate G4 speedy but not really making a stronger case for notability. County sheriff is not a level of office that hands its holders an automatic notability pass just for existing -- but this is not referenced to the depth and breadth of coverage needed to get him over WP:GNG in lieu. Of the ten sources here, seven are WP:ROUTINE election-related coverage, including campaign brochures and raw tables of election results, that any county sheriff anywhere could always show because election-related coverage always exists; one more is a primary source that cannot assist notability at all; and one is far more about his wife than him. There's literally only one source here that speaks to his potential notability by being about him in any non-trivial and non-routine and non-primary and non-namechecky way, but one source isn't enough to pass WP:GNG all by itself. To qualify for an article, a county sheriff has to be demonstrably more notable than most other county sheriffs by virtue of being able to show more and wider press coverage than most other county sheriffs could show, but that's not what the sourcing here is demonstrating. And no, he doesn't inherit notability just because his wife's in Congress now, either. Bearcat (talk) 08:54, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Former chief of police of Orlando Police Department, a large department with over 700 officers, and currently heads an even larger sheriff's department with over 2,400 employees.

The notability test for a police chief is "how much reliable source coverage does he have or not have in media?", not "how many people happen to have him as their boss?" Bearcat (talk) 07:40, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would have said the notability criteria for such a senior figure are governed by WP:COMMONSENSE, but there you go... -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, which as a direct result of that has tremendous problems with people trying to misuse us as a public relations platform or as a forum for POV opinioneering or rumour-mongering about our article subjects, insisting on proper sourceability is the common sense position. There's nothing remotely "common sense" about giving county sheriffs (or anybody else, for that matter) an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist — the common sense position does require legitimate sources. Bearcat (talk) 20:44, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And the article does have legitimate sources. He clearly holds and held the posts claimed. You're arguing they're not sufficient for notability; I'm arguing they are. Please don't characterise this as anything other than what it is: a notability dispute, not a sourcing dispute. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:58, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BASIC as has not received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".

- Odd that minor politicians do then! We really do continue to have double standards on Wikipedia. He doesn't "inherit" notability from his role; he is notable because of his senior role. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, minor politicians (city councillors, school board trustees, small-town mayors, etc.) don't "inherit" anything either — they get deleted if they can't be reliably sourced as the subject of an unusual volume of press coverage that marks them out as more notable than the norm for their level of prominence. State and federal legislators, on the other hand, do not hold "minor" roles — they hold roles that make them significantly more prominent than small-town mayors or school board trustees, and even if their articles are sometimes inadequate in their existing form, they're of much more than purely local interest and are always improvable. There's no equivalency to be drawn here between a county sheriff and a state or federal legislator: county sheriff is a local office, not a state or federal one, so the keepability test is not passed just because a few sources exist, because a few sources always exist for all county sheriffs. The notability test for local offices is "significantly more notable than the norm", not "automatically included just because the same purely local sources exist for him that would exist for anybody else at that level too". Bearcat (talk) 20:35, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did I say municipal politicians? I was referring to every single member of a national or sub-national legislature. Many of whom are indeed "minor politicians" and are far less significant than the chief of two major police agencies (and are, frankly, often less well-known). Yet we give them a free pass just because of the post they hold, so the implication that we don't ever do this is clear piffle. And please stop referring to "inheriting". Nobody is saying anybody inherits anything. "Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects." Nope, that doesn't apply. It would apply if I was saying he was notable because of his wife (which I'm certainly not); it does not apply if I say he is notable because of his senior post. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:58, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

State or federal legislators are most certainly not "minor" politicians by any rational or sane measure — they may not all be as famous as Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau or Angela Merkel, but state and federal legislatures are important political bodies whose decisions have profound impacts on society and history and economics. It's the people in the US Congress, for example, who have ultimate control over whether Donald Trump will get his agenda passed or not, not his own will; it was a vote of confidence in the legislature, not a clear-cut victory for either party in the election, that decided who the new premier of British Columbia is; and it's the Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom who have control of how long Theresa May is or isn't going to get to keep her job. So they have a lot of control over the political agenda, which makes them significantly more than "minor" figures even if they're not all internationally famous. There's an important public service at stake in having information about legislators, because they matter to a broad readership — people need to know exactly who's voting on important issues, like whether they get to have health insurance or not, whether their taxes are going up or down, and on and so forth. Politicians at the state or federal levels are exactly the kind of topic any encyclopedia worth its salt would be expected to have articles about; county sheriffs are not, save rare exceptions on the order of Joe Arpaio who have an unusual volume of nationalized coverage. Bearcat (talk) 09:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course many of them are minor politicians. Many of them will never do anything significant in their entire careers apart from turn up and vote occasionally. And this was often even more the case in the past and also with "legislatures" in totalitarian states which are just rubber-stamping bodies, yet we still give all of them a free pass. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:53, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:HEY, coverage of unique aspects of his career (first black police chief in Orlando) goes back to 1998; and the details of the bio are reliably sourced. But it's the coverage of the fact that when he ran for and won the election for Sheriff (of a big deal County, because: Orlando), his wife was Police Chief of Orlando that brought non-ROUEINE coverage. Also, special attention is drwan becase he was the first black police chief in Orlando, first black Sheriff in Orange County, and the first black head of the Florida sheriffs association - more can be added about these themes, which have attracted coverage. The fact that his wife os now a congresswoman also makes people interested in him, But it was the unusual married-couple-head-overlapping-police-agencies got coverage that goes well beyond ROUTINE, here's a sampling of what's out there: Jerry and Val Demings; Married couple lead area policing; Jerry and Val Demings are sheriff and police chief in the Orlando area.
