Weak Delete. There is some evidence of notability here (this is a forum thread but the Mirror article it claims to have copypasted from looks genuine) but given the lack of sources out there there's too many question marks over verifiability. (Should someone find sources for this, of course, I'll think again.) Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 06:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not met the WP:GNG. Needs more sources.--Ryan.germany (talk) 10:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Reluctant delete, because I would expect this individual to be considered notable as the winner of a TV talent show (Don't ask me to explain how that is encyclopedic, but this does seem to meet our current bar for notability). However this article doesn't have one independent WP:RS on it, so it has to go (unless fixed, sharpish). Andy Dingley (talk) 14:47, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seto Kaiba (band)

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

Non-notable band on a non-notable label. The chart positions seem to be fake. There is no entry for this band at US Billboard nor does a book search come up with anything in British Hit Singles & Albums [1]. De728631 (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The band members appear to have the same names as anime characters, and the band's discography section contains a mixture of many of the same song titles found in the Nickelback and Shinedown discographies, so I suspect a hoax. Even if not, I am unable to locate any coverage for this band anyway. Gongshow ^Talk 04:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Naruto Deaths

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

Not an appropriate topic for a list. All this list is about is which fictional characters killed which other fictional characters and is nothing more than trivia. This also fails WP:NOT per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:IINFO. You can call it fancruft if you like as I believe this is a text book example content that is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans. And I doubt that even the enthusiastic fans will find this list all that interesting. —Farix (t | c) 22:32, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Mostly fancruft; not notable enough for a list. Anything which is notable to the article on Naruto should be incorporated into that article (but even that article does not need a long list of deaths - just the important ones, woven into the prose).

Mines are mine

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

Non-notable, unknown subject (as only search result seems to be a couple of one minute YouTube clips), OR, essay.

I think that about covers the main points, it seems to be an essay with some strange links and full of OR without recourse to a particular subject apart from anger at mines and their ecological consequences. Chaosdruid (talk) 22:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nordic aliens

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

Reads more like "List of aliens claimed by people to have pale skin, blonde hair or other subjectively-interpreted Scandanavian features." Article looks to be a holdover from the bad old days of Wikipedia when well-intentioned UFO buffs were keen on building a number of niche articles based only on iffy UFOlogy sources and original research. The sources now cited are reliable, but the phrase "nordic types" or the word "nordic" is merely included among a laundry list of descriptions of aliens people claim to have seen. Other sources just mention aliens with long blonde hair. Or pale skin. There is no significant coverage of the concept found in reliable sources. Passing or trivial mentions of something do not justify a stand-alone article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ugh. I don't want to get involved with this article, because I know it will lead to lots of extra stress. But I'm also one of the few regular editors who will be willing to defend it. Anyway, there are other reliable sources that discuss the Nordic alien concept. This book was published by Duke University Press, and contains a bit of history on the concept (eg, George Adamski.) This one provides a bit of sociological analysis that can be included in the article. This book might be useful too, from what I've seen browsing through it at the library in the past. We also have books like this, which probably wouldn't be considered reliable for most purposes, but at least provide evidence that "Nordic aliens" is a widely understood concept in UFOlogy circles. Zagalejo^^^ 01:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't like them, any more than I like Nordic Death Metal music, but sources are provided with discuss them. BigJim707 (talk) 05:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - May be less common than the Little green men, Grey alien or Reptilians descriptions, but each commonly described type are notable enough for their own Article. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 06:19, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the sources already in the article fail to offer significant coverage, and the ones suggested here on the AfD to date appear to be mostly problematical. Battaglia gives a definition of Nordic ("a mixture of Nordic and 'Oriental'") that appears to contradict other, purely-Nordic, definitions, many of them are unclear as to how much coverage they offer, and the title The Big Book of UFOs gives me doubts as to how scholarly it is. Erich Goode's book appears to be the only unambiguously unproblematical source to date, and I don't know if that's enough on its own. I would suggest that some sort of showing as to depth of coverage, by working some of these sources into the article, may be needed. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 08:29, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do any sources explicitly describe them as "purely" Nordic? In any case, I'm pretty sure there is more information out there; I'll have to go to a library within the next few days. I know from past experience that Google Books gives an erratic picture of what is available when it comes to UFO/paranormal stuff. I did find another potentially usable source on Amazon: The Chambers Dictionary of the Unexplained, which has an entry on Nordics from pages 489-490. (If you have an Amazon account, you can preview it.) Zagalejo^^^ 21:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They don't say "purely Nordic", but frequently describe purely Nordic features: e.g. pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, that contains no admixture of Oriental features. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Adamski claimed to meet Nordic Aliens...later "contactees" say they did too...and sociologists say they are probably idealizations of humans. Using all the RS we have gathered to date, the subject still can only generate about a paragraph and a half of material. My opinion is that this material would be better situated at Abduction phenomenon entities. Note that it's not the end of the world if aliens with insufficient notability are Redirects, e.g. how some entries at List of alleged extraterrestrial beings are treated. - LuckyLouie (talk) 12:30, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, to Abduction phenomenon entities (unless some better target is found). Material to date appears to amount mainly to a vague description and anecdotal reports of encounters, of questionable noteworthiness. Little in the way of substantive secondary analysis, and not enough to warrant an independent article. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not crazy about that as a merge target, because Nordics are often associated with the contactee tradition, which generally doesn't have much to do with probes and implants and such. List of alleged extraterrestrial beings could be a better target, although that page needs to be retooled to get rid of the silly table and use more prose descriptions. But before we start talking about merges, give me a little time to get to the library so I can see what else I can find about Nordic aliens. I'm hoping to track down a couple of books within the next couple days. Zagalejo^^^ 18:44, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a little bit more, but I still don't think I've exhausted the material that is out there. And as I said on the article talk page, Jerome Clark should count as a reliable source, since the American National Biography uses him as a source in at least one of their articles (on George Adamski). Zagalejo^^^ 03:57, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - although it is fairly hard to find reliable sources about it, it is definitely a notable subject within the field of ufology, and it has citations. --Niwi3 (talk) 19:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Historic Adelaide church dating back to the 1840s. Despite what the nom says, the second reference goes into explicit detail of the property and the first one is easily beyond the scope of a "passing mention." The South Australia government also has a brief (still more than "passing mention") profile. [3] --Oakshade (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. One sentence in the first reference doesn't count as a passing mention? I didn't read far enough in the second; it does describe the property, though I'm not sure that that's sufficient by itself. The government profile does, however, make me reconsider. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - For that first reference, it's actually a very long sentence, almost a paragraph. I just don't consider that a "passing mention."--Oakshade (talk) 03:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - Very significant due to early date (1840, just four years after European settlement); context (unique nature of free settlement of the colony of South Australia as a "paradise of dissent", rather than as a penal colony); and central location within the City of Adelaide.

Principality of Hungary

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

Reasons for a deltion are next. I have found a 2 serious books about Hungarian history which says nothing about principality. 1. (http://books.google.com/books?id=y0g4YEp7ZrsC&lpg=PP1&dq=hungary%20history&hl=sk&pg=PA18#v=onepage&q&f=false) In the article, you can read, its written that the founder of state is Istvan, before that the Hungarians were not united (he was elected as a king in 25 Dec. 1000/ 1 Jan. 1001) 2. (http://books.google.com/books?id=SKwmGQCT0MAC&lpg=PP1&dq=hungary%20history&hl=sk&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q&f=false) again nothing about Hungarian principality in 9th century, its wirtten that in the 896 when the Hungarian, Kabar and Turkic semi-nomadic people came to the Carpathian basin: "it was a no reason to believe that Hungarians considered a Carpahian basin as a their new home" Authors are Hungarian historians and sources are reliable. There is a nothing about "Principality of Hungary" But its next books, I can a find later, whose says nothing about Hungarian principality. It exist only one book which used this therm for this early period (http://books.google.com/books?id=Bz7aKaJNfokC&lpg=PA19&dq=%22Principality%20of%20Hungary%22&hl=sk&pg=PA19#v=onepage&q=%22Principality%20of%20Hungary%22&f=false). This historian has a specialization about modern history espetialy about Stalinism. Information in the book is: "Magyar clans from Asia came in the late 9th century and established a principality of Hungary." This therm was for a first time used in the 1993. There are no concrete years and nothing more about this "principality". On the other hand the seriouse books says nothing about existention of Principality of Hungary. They says that Hungarian, Kabar and Turkic tribes were a semi-nomadic and its no reason to believe that Hungarians considered a carpathian basin as their final home. This user makes a lot of such edits without consensus, for exmaple in Royal Hungary (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Royal_Hungary&action=history) deleted and redirected article without discussion at talk page. Royal Hungary ([5]) was a province of Habsburg Empire and this user tries to make a Separe Article about continuity of Hungarian Kingdom, which was divided in 16th century between Ottoman empire, Habsburg empire and Transylvania. He made a article Hungarian invasions of Europe (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Royal+Hungary%22&btnG=Vyh%C4%BEad%C3%A1vanie+kn%C3%ADh&tbm=bks&tbo=1&hl=sk#sclient=psy&hl=sk&tbo=1&tbm=bks&source=hp&q=%22Hungarian+invasions+of+Europe%22&pbx=1&oq=%22Hungarian+invasions+of+Europe%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=161150l166399l0l166520l29l23l0l0l0l6l209l3040l7.13.2l22l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=144a467f858ec791&biw=1246&bih=645) and this therm does not exist. It were a raids, as it is a written in the next 2 books above (usualy the moss-trooping raids). User is not open for discussion and he is a problematic and calls other users nationalists who hates Hungarians ([6]). Samofi (talk) 21:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Samofi, Could you please stop your personal attack against me?

About the page. There are reliable sources about the theme. There is no valid reason to cease that article.Fakirbakir (talk) 21:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources says nothing about "Principality of Hungary". Just the term is mentioned in the book from Hodos without explanation and more proper informations. Other sources says nothing about the existention of this "principality". --Samofi (talk) 21:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, check the sources again. For instance, Cited: '10th-century Hungarian principality' Bartha, p. 84 Fakirbakir (talk) 23:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. The English sources do mention the term principality: Hodos, p. 19: "Magyar clans... established the principality of Hungary", Bartha p. 84: "the 10th century Hungarian Principality", Steinhübel in Europe's centre around AD 1000 p. 327: "This caused the area of the Arpad settlement to shift to the western regions of the principality of Hungary. And the Hungarian term nagyfejedelemség apparently translates to both "Grand Duchy" and "Grand Principality". But the English terminology is clearly attested.

Keep – The term 'principality of Hungary' is used in several sources. Everyone doesn't write identically. Northamerica1000 (talk) 00:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The existence of the Hungarian realm before the "Kingdom of Hungary" was founded is a historical fact. It can be discussed what would be the best name for the article, but the article should exist. Here is a quote from the journal "Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae" (published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Volume 36, 1982: "Prior to the foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom, in the age of principality, ie between 896 and 1000 AD, the princes of the Arpad dynasty, like the majority of the land-conquering tribes, bore Turkic names". Other English examples that talk about "principality": [7] [8]. Also see my comment about this on the Talk page of the History of Hungary article. Koertefa (talk) 04:31, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note Hodos does not say that principality was created in the end of 9th century. He told that Hungarians came in the end of 9th century and later was a principality created. We have used only sources from the Hungarian authors, is it neutral? And we will ignore a lot of scholar publications whose says that hungarians started to create the state after 955? "Cited: '10th-century Hungarian principality' Bartha, p. 84" 10th century is from 900 to 999, not 895. But the real principality or grand principality was created at the end of 10th century. Article was nominated for deletion because here were propagandistic statements like: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Principality_of_Hungary&diff=447848521&oldid=99249097 : "Hungarian is one of the oldest countries in Europe, established in 895, some 60 years after the division of France and Germany at the Treaty of Verdun in 843, before the unification of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms." So again, do we ignore a majority of scholar publications whose says nothing about Principality of Hungary before 955? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samofi (talk • contribs) 06:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but cleanup the silly WP:Bombardment and integrate better with the existing articles on the topic. Submitter has valid concerns about article quality, and indeed our Hungarian history articles are infested with nationalism, but AfD isn't the place to resolve this. If the article is crap, it needs to be cleaned up, not deleted. --dab (𒁳) 10:03, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- essentially, this is our "10th century in Hungary" / Christianization of Hungary article. It has no other content than Christianization of Hungary if we disregard the duplication of Magyar invasion of Pannonia. Thus, the article is valid, but the title as it stands isn't very descriptive, and "Christianization of Hungary" may be preferable. But this is not a severe problem, let alone one for AfD. --dab (𒁳) 13:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Something (Principality) did exist before the Kingdom of Hungary. But we are probably talking about the Principality from 970s to 1000, not from 895? Before 970 we are talking about Principality of Lower Pannonia. Yes/No??--Kebeta (talk) 14:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Principality of Lower Pannonia existed before the Hungarians conquered the Carpathian Basin, but it perished after the arrival of the Hungarian tribes. Many sources claim that this was around the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. It surely did not last until 970. But we should discuss these questions on the Talk page of the article itself. Koertefa (talk) 08:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE Maybe I reacted too fast with the deletion but the article in that time looked differently than now. Before 972 we can hardly to talk about Principality, its just a few sources which mentioned that. But we can talk about Hungarian tribal union: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22hungarian+tribal+union%22&btnG=Vyh%C4%BEad%C3%A1vanie+kn%C3%ADh&tbm=bks&tbo=1&hl=sk The first Grand prince who connected a majority of the Hungarian tribes to the one supra-tribal union (principality) was a Geza and shortly after that Hungarians founded a Christian kingdom. --Samofi (talk) 16:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment2Okay, but why it was created with so many uncited sources and fakes? Its reason to delete it and make a new article. Article about Slovaks in Hungary was deleted and Slovaks are after Roma people and Germans the largest minority in Hungary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Slovaks_in_Hungary).

This article was deleted very easy in the few days. So how is it going with the deletion? --Samofi (talk) 19:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The term Principality of Hungary in this context isn't used by any scholar. However, the subject is notable and parts of it can be moved to Hungarian invasions of Europe or a new article titled Hungarian confederation or a similar term used by scholars can be created.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 00:55, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-The Hungarian Academy of Science is not adequate for you? (this is academic source) "Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae" (published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences), Volume 36, 1982: "Prior to the foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom, in the age of principality, ie between 896 and 1000 AD, the princes of the Arpad dynasty, like the majority of the land-conquering tribes, bore Turkic names"Fakirbakir (talk) 07:21, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment3 99% of the sources says nothing about Hungarian principality between 896-972, it was a Tribal union. This simple source is a not significant minority view and the neutrality is disputed. And we cannot check it. --Samofi (talk) 07:48, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many scholars, for example, the ones that were cited earlier, explicitly talk about the "Principality of Hungary", the "Hungarian Principality" or the "Age of Principality". They are unambiguous about that. The Hungarian tribes were led by a "(Grand) Prince" that is why we are talking about a "(Grand) Principality". If you think that these are just minority views, then please cite some scientific sources that claim the contrary. Koertefa (talk) 08:42, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Working People's Vanguard Party

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

A very minor political party, it never even contested an election. Because of this, I do not believe it is sufficiently notable for an article of its own, although it should be (and is) mentioned in the articles on the Liberator Party (with which it later merged) and the Working People's Alliance (which it was involved in establishing), both of which did contest elections.

Non-notable former presidential candidate who has never received any degree of electoral success or mainstream coverage. None of the sources in the article demonstrate notability, and all fail the RS criterion. It's worth noting that LaMagna received only eight primary election votes when he ran for president in 2008, finishing far behind Ole Savior (whose article was recently deleted at AFD on notability grounds).

Keep: due to publications - h-index - associate editorships etc but I am not sure about the RSS's Bronze Guy Medal being enough for our WP:prof #2 even though it helps for overall notablility.

The text from the RSS reads The Bronze Medal may be awarded to fellows, or to non-fellows who are members of a section or a local group, in respect of a paper or papers read to a section or local group or at any conference run by the Society, its sections or local groups, or published in any of the Society's journals. Preference will be given to people under the age of 35. Exceptionally two or more authors of a paper/papers may be considered for the award provided they are members of sections or local groups.

Comment: I must admit I was not aware that there was an h-index level (17, apparently) virtually guaranteeing entry. Is this the case? Surely this should vary from field to field?

Delete. Only one item on the list is bluelinked, and even that item seems to be non-notable, meaning that if the list were populated, it would indeed serve as a linkfarm or directory. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The item on the list that wasn't mentioned in the nomination to delete above, Duck Creek Park and Golf Course, is notable per Wikipedia guidelines for establishing notability (refer to references section in the article). The logic that other links on the list being bluelinked would lead to the article itself being a linkfarm is false, because only notable articles should be created, and linkfarms are listed per linkfarm as:

– Mere collections of external links or Internet directories.

– Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with article organization and navigation; for these, please follow the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Lead and selection criteria.

– Mere collections of public domain or other source material

– Mere collections of photographs or media files

Lists with links to other Wikipedia articles would not be a linkfarm, because they would be links to Wikipedia articles, not external websites. Northamerica1000 (talk) 01:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the references (ie. the ones that are not trivial, passing mentions) all appear to be not only local but affiliated - the entity that administers the park is not exactly a third-party source that can attest notability! And yes, I'm obviously aware that a list of links to other Wikipedia articles is not a linkfarm, but if these other courses are non-notable and articles cannot be created, we're not going to get that list of bluelinks. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The blog is part of WSJ online. The passing mentions aplenty will include other blogs/news sites mention All Things Digital as the site that broke the news, got the interview etc. The reason given for deletion was 'Spam'. This Article just needs improvement or merging into the A. I know nothing about a contestor asserting there were 3rd party discussions, but to kick off the examples:

Here is the citation from the article of Walter Mossberg. What was his column 'Personal Technology' in the WSJ now is All Things Digital http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.05/mossberg.html?pg=1

Again, the All Things Digital article just needs some work, not deletion. It could be merged as a section in the articles on the founders or the redirect from the D: All Things Digital to Walt Mossberg could be removed (in time) and a new All Things Digital/D: All Things Digital article be made. Deletion of this article would impede improvement. PrtScn (talk) 21:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment — the article from wired mentioned above is about walter mossberg, not this website. it does mention the conference, although not the website. and that only in passing. the conference itself may or may not be notable, but it is not under discussion here, and it doesn't lend any notability it might have to a website that is a spinoff of it. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well the conference is notable. There are alternatives to deletion for this article. The site is a tech news blog under the WSJ banner so finding the 3rd party discussions to solve the notability issue will be hidden under some very expensive SEO work to get ALL Things Digital urls to the top of the rankings for anything you can search for with 'All Things Digital' as part of the search string. Norlam editing will bring this article up to scratch or see it merged with another.PrtScn (talk) 22:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - as others mentioned, the All Things Digital conference is one of the most prominent conferences in the digital industry, with Walter Mossberg and the WSJ crew consistently pulling in the top names and CEOs in the field.

There is no attempt to hide the fact that the administrator of The Jackal is also the writer of the article in question. The article raises notable topics of interest concerning Netiquette and Internet law that requires further consideration, therefore it should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackal lady luck (talk • contribs) 01:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My intention was not to say that the fact was hidden but simply to point out that the resulting conflict of interest was extra incentive to delete the article. Pichpich (talk) 02:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Another question about "notable topics of interest concerning Netiquette and Internet law". Even by your own account, the story goes like this: troll trolls, troll gets banned, troll threatens bogus lawsuit, people laugh at troll's threats, troll threatens bogus lawsuit about laughing at him. And as far as I can tell, that's the end of the story since it's obvious to all that the lawsuits were just a slightly more elaborate form of trolling. In any case, this is very far from anything resembling a notable Netiquette-related or Internet law-related incident. Pichpich (talk) 02:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And one last thing. It's being argued on the article's talk page that the blog meets the notability requirements because "the content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators". It is true that some of the blog posts are reposted on the fairly well-known blog-collective The Standard but we're talking about one post every ten days or so and 12 posts in total. [11] Pichpich (talk) 02:40, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The validity of the references does not seem to be in question, just the notability of the publications. An argument should not be made on assumptions. Even if further reference to validate was required, statistical information is currently unavailable.
A Wikipedia search of "notable topics of interest concerning Netiquette and Internet law" has no results. Please clarify? I have referenced material and documented what happened, I have not written a personal account. Privately threatening a Lawsuit is not a form of trolling.

Are we talking about the same incident? You threatened a freedom of speech suit when banned for trolling someone's website. If you were not serious, it's a form of trolling. If you were being serious, I'm afraid I have to suspect complete idiocy. Pichpich (talk) 03:31, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please acquaint yourself with the Wikipedia:Civility standard and be nice to the newbie. Jackal lady luck 06:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I am neither an Inclusionist nor a Deletionist, and have shown that the article is unbiased by providing a potentially valid (emotive) reason for deletion within the article. Trying to discredit the article because of the authors previous conduct outside of Wikipedia is not a valid argument.
A number of works have been published within the contested reference. The timeline of those republications should be considered. The notability of the work is not only defined by the amount of publications referenced. There is no question that a reputable and independent organization has chosen to republish those works. Therefore the article meets Wikipedia:Notability (web) Criteria (3). Jackal lady luck 12:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Keep There is no conflict of interest as the article is unbiased and written from a Neutral point of view. Notable use of the OCILLA, Notable use of Blogger. Blog sites and references are notable. No defined republishing amount stated: Wikipedia:Notability (web). The article meets criteria (1)(3) for notability. Republishing signifies importance. Site content is relevant and notable: Google search The Jackal. Jackal lady luck 22:36, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Delete. I don't really think the WP:COI needs to be brought up right now. While writing an article about yourself or something you own is generally frowned upon in the community, it seems to be coming from a pretty neutral standpoint.

JLL, you keep saying that the article meets criteria 3. It seems a weak case, but I understand where you're coming from. Still, taken from WP:WEB: However, meeting these criteria is not an absolute guarantee that Wikipedia should have a separate, stand-alone article entirely dedicated to the content. I don't think a dozen or so blog posts relisted by The Standard meets notability standards. Also, the bulk of the contents in the article is a feud between bloggers. I don't think there is a solid reason this article needs to be on Wikipedia. Ish dar ian 13:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article also meets criteria (1). The reference has multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. Jackal lady luck 21:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Can you give some examples? I tried to look through them, and I didn't see any that were really "significant coverage in reliable independent sources". But I might have missed some. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Standard is a reliable and independent source. The Jackal's articles are published elsewhere in the New Zealand Blogosphere. Would you like me to list them all? Lifebaka declined speedy delete: "decline, giving benefit of the doubt based upon refs, and supposing that republishing signifies importance." *J L L 08:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The link you provided above does not appear to meet Wikipedia's reliable source guidelines. As for your criteria one claim, the policy states, verbatim: The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. The content, in this case, is your site. I looked through all the refs in the article and did a brief Google search, and I was unable to find and reliable sources that discussed your site, aside from the Standard. The case with the Standard is not that IT is unreliable. The problem seems to be that it has been the only one to repost anything about your site. While it has reposted a dozen or so articles, it is still a singular source. The criteria three claim is a bit of a stretch to me, but the claim that the article meets the first criteria does not seem plausible. Ish dar ian 11:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No disrespect in pointing out the obvious, but a blogsite is not automatically a trivial publication, as defined by the criteria. Multiple meaning many, ie 12 independent publications as referenced. You should not lump those publications into a singularity. The guideline does not state that the republication has to occur on multiple outlets, just that there needs to be multiple republications that are independent and unbiased. The sites referenced in the article are not indiscriminate sources, the work published is not trivial in nature. The fact that those articles are then widely read on the second highest most popular Blogsite in New Zealand should be considered. The included information is verifiable. The article is new and requires more time to include items, which will increase its notability. The article is notable as defined within the shorter description of the word. The article should be kept or merged, there is no reason for a delete. J L L 22:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the point is that the references themselves should be independent of the subject, that is, independent of the Jackal. The Standard is not really independent of its own content. Also, the mauistreet example you gave just above isn't really significant coverage; that entry doesn't even really talk about the Jackal blog. It's something, but it isn't wp:GNG on its own, certainly. "Would you like me to list them all?"—Just, say, 2 good ones. Thanks! ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:44, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Jackal is independent of The Standard. They're separate blogs operated on entirely different platforms and run by completely different people. Please contact The Standard if you need further clarification of this. The Standard selects the articles through a process I have no information on. Perhaps they think the articles selected are notable. I have no control over that process or what articles are chosen for inclusion on The Standard. The Standard is reputable, independent and makes note of who wrote the articles at the top of the post. The Standard does not create the content, it republishes. I have already referenced multiple articles that have been independently republished. J L L 02:34, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I realize they are separate, but in some sense they are not totally independent. In any case, these aren't references about the subject, are they? ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 05:39, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—The sources don't appear to establish notability, they are mostly other bloggers whining about the subject. I don't think the level of redistribution on The Standard establishes notability. This article appears to essentially be self-promotion, what Wikipedia:Conflict of interest was written for. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 14:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Movie never got to release and no major coverage even of that in sources (I checked all cites and most of them don't actually even mention it--as if they were just directory-entries of current projects that got elided when the project died). DMacks (talk) 21:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I created this page so I would say Keep, because the film received heavy publicity during it's period of production. The film was widely touted to be the most expensive Tamil film ever produced at the time - and hence gains notability in that respect. However, as like most other foreign language films, sources are far and few online - and I guess that does reduce it's chances of surviving this AfD. Universal Hero (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WP:NFF does not mandate deletion. Toward failed films it instructs "...films produced in the past, which were either not completed or not distributed, should not have their own articles unless their failure was notable per the guidelines." So rather than simply delete it as a failed project, we need to determine whether or not the coverage available for this failed film might then allow its failure to be notable per the guidelines. It would seem reasonable at the least that it could also be redirected to a sourced and historically contextual mention elsewhere. Suggestions? Possibilities? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article can also serve to promote the creation of new articles for notable golf courses. Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Regarding the nomination for deletion above: No rationale was provided to qualify the statement that the article the author mentioned above, but did not state, the Royale Jakarta Golf Club, is of questionable notability. Without qualification for the statement, there's no basis for it. Northamerica1000 (talk) 02:11, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the notability requirements for golf courses might be, but Royale Jakarta Golf Club certainly doesn't pass the general requirements, with only these passing mentions to show for. Anyway, that's not why we're here: Delete since at best this is a list of one. The topic (Golf courses in Jakarta") might well be notable, but since there aren't any articles, a list thereof is utterly redundant and nothing but an invitation to spam, IMO. I could suggest a redirect to List of golf courses in Jakarta, but that doesn't exist, and Category:Golf clubs and courses in Indonesia only has one member. So, delete.

Warlock class destroyer

Entirely in-universe treatment of a fictional element from a TV science fiction series. Almost completely unsourced, no documentation of notability, not a hint at any out-of-universe perspective.

Smerge (selectively merge) to EarthForce, the article which describes the fictional fleet of which this is a member, unless multiple independent and reliable secondary sources can be found with significant coverage.

Deleteor Smerge (selectively merge) to an article about a higher level aspect of the fiction franchise, unless multiple independent and reliable secondary sources can be found with significant coverage. A general encyclopedia such as Wikipedia is not a suitable site, such as a dedicated fanWiki would be, to regurgitate every small detail about every weapon or type of space ship described in a fictional work.

Comment Notability is not temporary, so the nominator's complaint about "no fights in the last three years" is completely irrelevant here. Joe Louis has not fought in the last three years, and that is similarly irrelevant to his notability. Edison (talk) 17:04, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I suppose it was a vague way of saying that since this person has had very few fights and none recently, one can assume the subject is not a professional fighter and thus would also not be notable as per WP:ATHLETE. If someone had a long history of fights (whether with a notable organization or not) and hasn't fought recently, they may still be a professional fighter but has retired and/or is deceased.

The list of players to have won a medal is unreferenced, and just because they were with a team that won the title, it does not mean that player actually won a medal.

Delete or redirect - Although per WP:VER & WP:CITE, reliable sources need not be necessarily available online, I cannot find references for the individual except for a single brief mention on MSNBC, and no mentions in scholarly sources or in books. Often, even if the such sources are not available to read online, they are often cataloged online in a manor that allows researchers to find their print versions. Perhaps the article can be redirected to Delano grape strike, and only material referenced to reliable source(s) be merged as appropriate, without violating WP:DUE. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:19, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both of the persons convicted now have their seperate articles, in addition to a third article about the trial. Solotaig (talk) 15:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. We cannot delete the history of the article before a split—deleting that record of contributors to the article will create issues with the GFDL licensing of the article! I have reverted the split into the article's situation before Solotaig's attempted split this morning; since French and Moland don't appear to be individually notable, three articles don't appear to be warranted, only one. —C.Fred (talk) 15:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete Wikipedia has routines for dealing with articles that are superfluous. And wikipedia has routines for dealing with record of contributions, even after an article is deleted. Please do not play the "alarmist card"!

If C.Fred is concerned about having 3 articles about 3 seperately notable subjects, then maybe he can suggest merging absolutely all wikipedia articles into one. I am sure that he can concoct a good reason for doing so.--Solotaig (talk) 16:18, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not playing the alarmist card; I'm discussing the notability of the subjects and whether they warrant an article(s). If they aren't notable enough for an article as a group, they aren't notable enough for separate articles. I think there is sufficient notability, and whether or not to split is not a discussion for AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 16:34, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the nomination for deletion stated nothing about lack of notability. (But please feel free to nominate the article for deletion for that reason if you feel like it.) Please do not try to turn the discussion into "If they aren't notable enough for an article as a group" — your words. Now it seems that you are trying to deal the "manipulation card".--Solotaig (talk) 16:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any problem with the notability of any of the following articles, then that is a seperate discussion.

Please avoid silly and off-topic discussions of "combining all Wikipedia articles into one article." Edison (talk) 17:08, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all into Trial and conviction of Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland See WP:BLP1E and Wikipedia:Notability (events)#People notable for only one event which says "People known only in connection with one event should generally not have an article written about them. If the event is notable, then an article usually should be written about the event instead." These two are known only for one thing, a crime, and it is inappropriate to have two, three, or four articles about them and the one event they are known for. A merge could preserve the editing history and satisfy GFDL. Edison (talk) 17:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all per Edison (a rename will be necessary though); BLP1E is spot-on. See also WP:CRIME. There's very little to say about the individuals (as opposed to, say, other notorious Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik, which is why he has his own article separate from 2011 Norway attacks), so everything should be merged into the one article on the event. Thanks Solotaig for calling to our attention the fact that this was fragmenting into a lot of redundant articles. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are also notable for being kicked out of Telemark Battalion for trying to recruit fellow-soldiers into a seperate "security organization" in Africa. (I am not sure if they were kicked out together, or at the same time, or on the same charges.) --Solotaig (talk) 17:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua French and

Tjostolv Moland and

Trial and conviction of Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland, and then delete the namesake of this discussion.--Solotaig (talk) 17:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That they are as notable as some of the soldiers on the following list [15], is a seperate discussion.--Solotaig (talk) 18:11, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at WP:MAD. If this doesn't change your opinion about merging and deleting, please propose another solution for maintaining the history. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did read past the beginning, "While this essay is not a policy or guideline itself, it is intended to supplement ...".

Yeah, I have a suggestion: Change the name of the "Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland" article into "The trial and conviction of ... and ...", and then keep the credits/attributions. (And I hereby waive all and any claims to attribution for my edits.) Then we have one article about each convicted perp and 2 articles with the same name "Trial of ... and ...". And then (and only then) I authorize deletion of "my" trial-article (because I don't give a flying fluck about being credited/attributed.)

Maybe that would be to easy? Because at least 2 of the contributors to this discussion have hinted that the whole things is sooooo difficult if not impossible. Difficult problems require difficult solutions?--Solotaig (talk) 18:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to a history merge to the Trial and conviction of Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland article that Solotaig created, with the combined article retaining the Trial of… title. In fact, that's probably the better solution than a three-way split. Solotaig, if you agree, shall we close this AfD with a speedy keep and move the article thusly? —C.Fred (talk) 19:03, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the seperate articles about Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland are not included in your suggestion, then I agree. Those 2 articles have to run their own course, as far as receiving seperate nominations for deletion (which will not have my support).--Solotaig (talk) 19:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Tya is not a good comparison, as timescales of trillions of years have little realistic application (the universe only being a few billion years old), whereas Gya, on the other hand, is widely and commonly used because it has common application in multiple branches of science (geology, paleontology, earth science, astronomy). —Lowellian (reply) 19:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I performed another search and found mentions of this term in several works: [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27]. The problem with all the sources presented here are in my opinion that they are either not reliable or those which are (I found one article in a peer reviewed journal: [28]) only simply use the term.

Weak keep. He passes WP:POLITICIAN as a member of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city. My personal opinion is that this criteria may be too inclusive.

List of unincorporated communities in Alberta

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

List is incomplete and is biased to only a handful of Alberta's numerous rural municipalities. Two requests for populating a list for the balance of the province have gone unheeded on the article's talk page. The article's creator was notified of the second request on the creator's talk page. Although it is unlikely a list of every single unincorporated community in Alberta may never be complete since there are so many, no effort has been made to at least cover the entire province. Hwy43 (talk) 04:07, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further detail about the insufficient coverage noted above, here is a breakdown of the list article's coverage:

includes three or more unincorporated communities from nine of Alberta's 74 rural municipalities;
includes less than three from seven of the remaining 65 rural municipalities; and
includes just one from the dozens of Indian reserves in Alberta.

Therefore, this is far from a comprehensive and unbiased list that covers all rural municipalities and Indian reserves in Alberta. The article is also unreferenced. Hwy43 (talk) 04:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, get to work, then. — AjaxSmack 00:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nominator does not seem to argue that the topic is not notable, but only that the list is incomplete. Please remember that Wikipedia is a work in progress.

Keep The subject, as a list, is encyclopedic. CJCurrie (talk) 05:10, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no definition of an unincorporated community, it could literally be every populated quarter section in Alberta. 117Avenue (talk) 05:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

117Avenue is correct. Alberta (Alberta Municipal Affairs) and Canada (Statistics Canada or Natural Resources Canada) publish no definition of unincorporated community. That should bring the topic's notability into question as none of the listed articles can be "confirmed" to be "unincorporated communities". As a result, inclusion of any article in this list might be considered original research. Hwy43 (talk) 06:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point, but "unincorporated communities" can be taken to simply mean communities that aren't incorporated. What I want to point out is that this list ties into List of communities in Alberta#Unincorporated communities. I favour

Keep. No valid delete rationale has been given. Being incomplete is not a valid deletion rationale, and the supposed bias is merely a function of the list being incomplete. The lack of definition argument is invalid, as the list obviously includes only unincorporated communities with a name, so no, the scope does not include "literally every populated quarter section". Ultimately, we have lists of cities, towns, hamlets and villages. There are also articles on communities that do not fit those categories, and there is value in a list for them too. The current article title sufficiently explains their status, but if there is a better title to be found, it certainly is worth discussing. Reso lute 15:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I consider my family a community, and my family has a name, so can my home quarter be listed? 117Avenue (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are you suggesting by that link? That only communities listed by Statistics Canada be used? As Hwy43 explained above, "unincorporated community" is not a status used by any authority, which puts all these list entries' notability into question, like my family farm. 117Avenue (talk) 20:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then go after the individual articles. As long as the articles are valid, so too is the list. And yes, Statistics Canada finds it useful to make note of these unincorporated communities, which is a reasonable sign that they are valid. Reso lute 20:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but I don't want to be the bad guy. 117Avenue (talk) 20:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that not every article in the list is actually a community, whether currently or historically, such as locations that have a name yet there is no evidence they were ever settled. Hwy43 (talk) 04:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:RUBBISH. And read WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM. — AjaxSmack 00:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears consensus will be to keep. Failing some sudden influx of delete votes to swing it the other way, the article should be moved to List of unincorporated places in Alberta following the discussion since not every article in the list actually is a community. A number of the listed articles are simply named locations that provide no evidence they were ever communities, while some assert they were once communities yet aren't supported with references to verify these claims. In the creation of some of these articles, I suspect it was assumed they were formerly communities simply because they were on a map or within a government database under a different term than "unincorporated community". Some have even been deemed "ghost towns" without any references to support they were ever inhabited in the first place, but that is a different issue. Hwy43 (talk) 04:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Per Wikipedia is not a directory, the article's inclusion on Wikipedia is appropriate, as the article has an organized focus and is not, per Wikipedia directory guidelines, like "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics". The article completely passes all eight points of WP:NOTDIR guidelines. Furthermore, the article can also serve to promote the creation of new articles for unincorporated communities in Alberta, and is functional and appropriate as a Wikipedia article in list format.

No opinion on the larger issue. However if we do end up with all of these "dominant groups" remaining, then we are going to need a disambiguation page.

Per WP:TWODABS, this dab page is not needed. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 17:50, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This DAB is needed to resolve a conflict in naming between 5 subjects. The DAB has been vandalized to remove the additional subjects to make it look as if it is a DAB for only 2 pages. Check the history of the DAB and you will see. AQBachler (talk) 18:29, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. This is your favourite argument when someone does not agree with the stuff you add to the dab page to puff it up to make it look like it is needed. This is called gaming the system. You added a nameless Boston dance group to the page and a NY restaurant article which does not exist just so as to puff it up to make it look viable. You even a added a ship without a corresponding article which was removed by another user. For your information the so-called vandalism you are referring to has been explained by proper edit summaries. This is called pointy editing. If you think I am vandalising your puffed-up piece please report me to WP:AIV. I would also duly caution you to cease these baseless claims. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 18:45, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check your references please. The band was on a major televised show, so not exactly nameless. AQBachler (talk) 18:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Status Quo should redirect to Status quo. Both Status quo and Status Quo (band) already have hatnotes for easy access to either article. However, keep in mind that there are a lot of incoming links to Status Quo which need to be changed to Status Quo (band).

Keep. A h-index of 19 passes WP:PROF #1 (just). Subject is also editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics. The apparent WP:COI is a concern, but not necessarily a reason for deletion. Subject appears to be a notable Russian academic at a leading university (Moscow State University). -- 202.124.72.211 (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: On the website of the journal, he is listed as managing editor. (website) — Fιnεmαnn ^(talk) 15:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply:That appears to be the same thing, in this case. -- 202.124.74.25 (talk) 23:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~Keep. I find a GS h-index of 13 19 by counting on my fingers. (Although the citation gadget gives the same number for this uncommon name, I don't recommend its use for more common ones). A pass of WP:Prof#C1, may also pass WP:Prof#C8. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Comment. According to the article about the journal, it has an impact factor of about 0.752. The article was also created by Gsard. This low impact factor may not be sufficient to pass WP:Prof#C8. — Fιnεmαnn ^(talk) 03:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable theoretical physicist (by works) with a notable post (principal research scientist of the Department of Theoretical Physics) at a notable university (Moscow State University). Editorship of the notable journal: International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics - seems to me to indicate a clear pass of our WP:PROF. (Msrasnw (talk) 14:03, 6 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Comment From what I see from GScholar only one of his paper have over 100 citations. AFAIK a principal research scientist is lower than an assistant professor in hierarchy. And again, the journal he is an editor of has a very low impact factor of 0.752. I don't understand how that counts as notable. — Fιnεmαnn ^(talk) 14:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. (i) In Russian university staff hierachy, "principal research scientist" is equivalent to "full professor": this staff hierachy is: assistant research scientist, research scientist, senior research scientist, principal research scientist. (ii) GScholar does not provide all quotations. The Citation list in Sardanashvily's CV contains more than 1500 quotations, that is rather strong for a mathematical physicist. In mathematical physics, 20-30 references to an article is believed well. (iii) The Impact Factor of IJGMMP is higher than that of such authoritative journals in mathematical physics as J. Geom. Phys., Rep. Math. Phys., Theor. Math. Phys., and it is close to IF of Lett. Math. Phys. The 5-year IF of IJGMMP (1.136) is much more than those of Lett. Math. Phys. and the above mentioned journals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.242.77.174 (talk) 17:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Could you provide references which support what you said about staff hierarchy? And I don't see how a journal is notable because it has higher impact factor than other journals, unless you establish that these other journals are notable for themselves. Also, it is advisable to use an account while commenting on an AfD discussion page. Your IP seems to indicate that you are from Moscow, Russia. To a lot of people this might look like COI. Thank you!— Fιnεmαnn ^(talk) 18:37, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Dear Fιnεmαnn, sorry, but my Comment first of all is for Administration of WikipediA. Yes, I am from Russia, I am theoretician, and therefore I am an expert in that I say. About Russian scientific staff, one can verify in the article Research fellow (see Russian Federation) where the position "principal research scientist" (Ведущий научный сотрудник) is called the "shief scientific worker" (see Russian variant of this article for details). Let us mention that this position required the second degree D.Sc., after Ph.D. About Journals that I mentioned in the previous Comments, all theoreticians and mathematical physicists know them as very authoritative in mathematical physics. IJGMMP also is not bad if one looks through the list of its authors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.242.77.174 (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply I don't want to sound like a dick, but this page is not just for the admins. This is a public page and anyone can comment. And saying that you are an expert in something is not welcomed on Wikipedia (WP:NVC). Actually the article Research fellow seems to contradict your statement. The article is about a research fellow in general, not just in Russia. In U.S. a research fellow is lower in hierarchy than a tenured assistant professor. Since the article is about such people as in the U.S., I find your statement hard to believe. I'm not against research associates having an article. What I am concerned is about is a possible COI in the article. Again from a GScholar search, IJGMMP does not seem to have any papers over 500 citations. And it is relatively new too. Also, please try using an account while commenting. Hope you understand. — Fιnεmαnn ^(talk) 22:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Research fellow indicates that in the UK, for example, "a senior research fellow may be a position of comparable academic standing to a full professorship." ru:Ведущий научный сотрудник indicates that the subject's rank is 2nd from the top in a range from "Junior Researcher" to "Chief Scientific Officer." -- 202.124.72.60 (talk) 22:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Information In Italy, a Russian principal research scientist is considered to be equivalent to an Italian full professor. Namely, in accordance with Schema della correlazione ha i titoli conferiti dal MURST Italiano e dal Ministero della Scienza Russo: Si dichiara inoltre che il titolo di Professor si ottiene per concorso ed e analogo ai titolo italiano di Professoro ordinario - I fascia. Esso e inoltre analogo al titolo russo di Capo di Dipartimento, Direttore di laboratorie e Collaboratore scientifico principale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.242.77.174 (talk) 07:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion of the academic rank held is of little relevance. What counts under WP:Prof is the extent that the person's work has been recognized by others in the form of citations, fellowships, prizes etc. The only recognition by WP:Prof of academic rank is in categories 5 and 6. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

It should be noted that Sardanashvily also is cited as Sardanashvili. The total number of citations of Sardanashvily(i) in GScholar is more than 2.000, including 3 (but not 1) works of more than 100 citations. GScholar's citation list is far from to be complete, and it does not include Russian citations. As was mentioned above, Sardanashvily's CV indicates more than 1600 non-self citations. Let us emphasize that GS is a mathematical physicist, what is an essential difference from theoreticians about a number of citations (in 2-3 times). His publications are qualified more than 100 times in Mathematical Reviews. His works are quoted more than 40 times in English WikipediA and more than 30 times in the others. Google gives about 25.000 results on Sardanashvily(i) search. These are the facts that, in my opinion, point out the GS nobility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.36.108.148 (talk) 07:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is WikipediA for information or about notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsard (talk • contribs) 06:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:PROF#8. Journal is ranked 38th among 54 journals in the ISI category Mathematical Physics. Note that ISI is rather selective and that many journals are never even listed in their databases (Scopus is much less selective). This is an area with a low citation density, so an IF of 0.7 is not that bad at all. --Crusio (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In addition to what Crusio said, having even one paper with over 100 citations is highly unusual outside of biomedical sciences, and strongly indicates notability . And, in response to Gsard's ;last question, Wikipedia is not for indiscriminate information, but for information about notable things--both factors are needed for there to be an encyclopedia. But in this case, the individual does pass the bar for notability DGG ( talk ) 02:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jamaica plain music festival

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

First off, the title is wrong, and, if kept, it probably should be moved to ~~Jamaica Plains Music Festival~~ Jamaica Plain Music Festival. Beyond that, this festival does not seem notable to me as a one time, local, and relatively small event (as far as music festivals go, only 1000 in attendance.) BUT, there are some OK sources and its informative and well written. Also, I can't speak of the notability of the performers involved...so I think it at least deserves to stand up to a standard AFD test, and have some more folks with better understanding of notability requirements to take a look.

To save people time, all of the above that are reliable I already enumerated in my previous listing of sources. The new additions are either self-pub or unreliable. --Odie5533 (talk) 14:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take Indie Superstar's interview for example, it's definitely a legitimate source since it writes for so many other games, so it should be real and thus reliable. Now then, when you called it self-published, did you mean that the site might have published a made-up interview that the game creators submitted? Diculous (talk) 19:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, let's take that. This page suggests that they're not really that picky or that independent/critical. That "it writes for so many other games", I'm not quite sure what that means, but it's hardly an argument for editorial quality or independence. And of course the site is published by a game developer, Dejobaan Games--all of this together suggests that they are not a reliable source by our standards--see WP:RS. No one is suggesting that they make their stuff up--just that they're not a reliable source. This is an encyclopedia, which has to rely on reliable sources. This is not a gamer site or a blog. Drmies (talk) 04:55, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The "other sources" were excluded because they don't seem to be RS to determine whether or not the subject matter is legitimate. However, given that the small number of RS have proven the subject matter to be legitimate, we should move on and include the previously excluded sources to determine its notability - which make it a significantly stronger case.

Pretty sure this guy is non-notable, but listing here because most of the possible sources are in Serbo-Croatian (?). I can find some evidence that this guy exists and has performed from time to time, but most of the news articles I can find with this name are for other people (someone active in Muslim organizations, a politician or two). The article itself doesn't make a good case for notability. On his MySpace page he has 13 friends - I'd expect a successful musician to have a few more than this, to put it lightly...

Delete No sign of news or other coverage of the Chicago-area singer described in the article, and the "official website" does not exist. There seems to be a European journalist by roughly the same name. $Sharktopus$ ^talk 01:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – News piece from Daily News Montenegro here. Northamerica1000 (talk) 06:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it is far from clear that the Sabrija Vulić mentioned is the American singer rather than the Montenegrin journalist. Furthermore, "notability" requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If there are sources that have written about Vulic, even if those sources are not in English we can probably look at them using Google translator.

Thor Fields

Non-notable actor/musician. Some google news hits but nothing substantive as far as I can tell. Pretty underwhelming list of credits, and now he's no longer acting and instead a member of a redlinked Led Zeppelin cover band. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per meeting WP:BIO and WP:ENT. Its easy to agree that the subject fails WP:Band, but book and news serches seem to show his theater and television involvemnet having perhaps enough coverage to meet WP:GNG.[30][31][32][33][34][35]etc.etc. We can ignore that the fellow left acting at 20 to purseue a mucic career, and concentrate rather on that number of years where his coverage gave notability, and remember that while the peak of his notability is past does not make it somehow now non-notable. Some cleanup and sourcing will take place shortly. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the band thing - obviously that's not enough - but I disagree that the coverage you've cited is sufficient. The Weekly World News is a joke, and most of the coverage of Google News is just directory-type mentions of insignificant roles. One of the articles you cite as evidence of notability only says "Thor Fields is a tolerable child actor." Other articles have a similar level of coverage. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I remind politely of WP:NTEMP and that while the peak of his notability is past, being past does not make it somehow now non-notable nor non-existant. Wikipedia does not demand that a person whose last major coverage was decades ago must somehow have sustained coverage to this day. I am more inclined to see that per WP:ENT the coverage and sourcable notability for his theater and early television is far more notable than anything that followed.[36][37] And to your point, even the least of the reliable sources that can be found on this fellow are absolute requirements per policy, which policy does not require that the verifibility itself be substantive. In looking, there are sources that do indeed speak about him directly and in detail... even if he is not the sole subject of the article or book. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:20, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not arguing that he is non-notable because the peak of his career happened earlier. My point is that I have failed to find any sources that cover him with the requisite depth, including those you mention. The two sources you cite with the most coverage are from the Weekly World News, which is literally a joke (click through to the article) and nothing like a reliable source. The others are mere mentions. What non-WWN articles did you find that are more than trivial mentions? Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stage actors are not the focus of a theater review. They concentrate on the stage production as a whole. That an child sctor is mentioned within a theater review (and not simply in a cast listing) in the context to their performance in that production is acceptable. Of his performance in Camelot the New York Magazine reviewer felt it worth writing "Thor Fields is a tolerable child actor..."[38] That he was serving with Richard Burton, is it no big surprise that NYM concentrated on the famous adult? Variety's film reviews 1987-1988[39] speaks toward his role as Danny Chadman in the Shelly Long film Hello Again stating "...nicely played part by Thor Fields," and Photoplay writes of it as "an appealing film debut by Thor Fields."[40] And his work as a youngster has apparently made it into the enduring record.[41] Playbill writes of him, stating "THOR FIELDS (Tom) made his Broadway debut as Louis in The King and I. He is well known to daytime television viewers, having played the part of Eric Aldrich in the NBC -TV series "The Doctors." In 1979 he was nominated Best Juvenile Actor...".[42] When I track down the nomination, we may have meeting of WP:ANYBIO. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:40, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not a notable entertainer or musician. Career highlight was a 3-year stint on a now-forgotten soap opera as a preteen. Extremely unlikely substantial non-trivial coverage in reliable sources exists (see above). On a not-unrelated note, this may be the first time anyone in an AFD has tried to claim Weekly World News(!!!) as a reliable source. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Har dee har har. Did you read anywhere that anyone "claimed" it as a reliable source? What was claimed was that the actor "seemed" ro have received coverage and attention. On a related note, any personal opinion of "now-forgotten soap opera", runs directly contrary to WP:NTEMP. The award-winning soap is still considered notable per Wikipedia's standards. And the other later offered sources are reliable enough, offering content that addresses the actor directly and offering citable detail, even if not the main topic of the sources themdselves. Thanks.

The result was redirect to KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum. I'm going to be a little bold to resolve this. When a conference series is notable , we usually make articles about a series of conferences, not individual ones . The relevant contents has been moved to KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum, no redirect is needed to preserve the history, but its a possible search terms, so I'm closing Delete and Redirect.

Delete, or rename and revise. The sixth Kazenergy Forum is not the subject for encyclopedic coverage. However, Kazenergy Eurasian Forum would be a fine topic, since it is an important event with notable attendees within one of the main sectors of the Kazakhstan economy. The article should discuss the event, and note key elements of each year's program/ guest list. However, the current article is better off as an independent web page, rather than using Wikipedia as a hosting service for conference details.

Delete - per WP:NOT#PROMO, as this is essentially an advert for a conference.

As a side note, I find the inclusion of this article to also be significant in terms of covering a significant geopolitical event in which numerous world leaders, corporate leaders and industry experts meet to confer about global energy requirements, energy in Eurasia, sustainable development and other significant matters of global importance. It is much more noteworthy than any article about South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc., of which there are multitudes on Wikipedia, yet those topics receive more coverage from mainstream mass media sources, particularly in the U.S. In the age of infotainment, television episodes are given higher priority in mass media because they are more popular and attract higher audience numbers, which strongly correlates with higher advertising revenues.

Comment – I put the "Speakers" section in the article back in place for the time being, as it serves to significantly improve the significance of the topic, article and event. It is my hope that this section wasn't deleted en masse to make the article inferior to encourage your stated stance of deletion regarding the article. It seems reasonable to leave this section in place for others to consider while this article is in AfD, rather than deleting all of my work before others can consider it. There are many significant internal links in the "Speakers" section you deleted that further establish notability of the article as a whole, and the internal links improve access to other Wikipedia articles. In this manner, users can learn about the organizations, governments, corporations and companies that are involved in the energy forum, rather than having to search for them. Per your rationale, the data that you deleted is inferior because it is present in another source, in this case, apparently in an event program. In this case, the data deleted was, per your statement, from a primary source. Primary sources can serve to establish notability for and verify the information within an article. Per WP:PRIMARY, "Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements that any educated person, with access to the source but without specialist knowledge, will be able to verify are supported by the source." There is no interpretation occurring within the section that could qualify as WP:SYNTHESIS whatsoever. In the process of blanket-deleting this section en masse, many references that establish notability of the article were also immediately removed, which highly correlates with your stance to delete the article. By reducing the notable references I added, it increases the likelihood of deletion. To reiterate, this section is appropriate, meets Wikipedia guidelines to further verify the article's contents, and also serves to further establish the notability of the article. It is inappropriate to remove this data while the article is in this AfD. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:14, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The following section and its data were reinstated in the article: Main topics for discussion. The rationale for reversion in the edit summary was based upon a Wikipedia essay. Essays are not Wikipedia policies. The views presented in essays should be considered carefully and with discretion, because they are not based upon concensus, are opinion pieces and are not Wikipedia policies whatsoever. There appears to be a conflict of interest in the deletion of data from the article en masse all of the sudden, to prevent an objective assessment of the article being included on Wikipedia. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
followup Establishing the notability of future speakers isn't likely to make the anticipated event notable, because the event has YET to become notable. Historical event is something else. So, if someone notable has spoken at an event, that event can become notable, but if they have yet to do so, I don't believe it does. Since the interest of article creator is to advertise the event, holding off until notable speakers have spoken before adding information that will be seen as promoting the event will clear the conflict of interest. Cantaloupe2 (talk) 10:02, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – My improvements to the article continue to be instantly reverted, apparently to delete article improvements and promote an agenda to delete the article.

response It is indisputable that the page was created with the purpose of advertising the upcoming event. Look at an older version some of earlier versions Please provide an explanation on how the lists of topics and speakers scheduled for a future event makes this organization notable right now.

Comment Your second source never mentions the conference. A reference HAS TO refer to the subject. The first source is just an announcement.

Comment – I disagree with the opinions of User: Cantaloupe2 stated above this message regarding notable future events. Per the rationales stated by User: Cantaloupe2, all of the following articles about upcoming films are therefore also not encyclopedic, non-notable and should be deleted, because they are scheduled upcoming events that haven't occurred yet, the formatting of each article is program-like, and they are therefore, essentially advertising for upcoming events:

The rationale for the removal of the "Speakers" section in this 6th KAZENERGY Eurasian Forum article is unsubstantiated based upon precedent, and is based upon the opinions of User talk:Cantaloupe2, rather than precedent and guidelines.

Almost immediately after its creation, the article was proposed for deletion twice. The creator first claimed that the book's notable publisher established its notability, but this is clearly untrue; notability is not inherited. The references are just blog posts and passing mentions by some book reviewers. I don't think this meets the general notability guideline.

Delete One review from a reliable source is not sufficient to establish notability. The blog reviews from booksale sites provide no evidence of notability. Was it ever a New York Times bestseller? That implies notability for some editors who participate in AFD, as shown by a discussion at the talk page of Wikipedia:Notability (books) , which guideline this book does not appear to satisfy. Was it just an also-ran, which disappeared into the remainder racks after a couple of months? Notability is not inherited from the name of the publisher. I need to see more reviews published in reliable sources. "Having a significant impact" in some "community" assertions by an editor here do not establish notability. Where is the reliable source that established s that impact? That would help the notability argument. Edison (talk) 17:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - There are many passing mentions here and there (beyond the references listed), and the deepest coverage I have found online is this PC MAG entry.

SPEEDY Keep Nominator is correct that things like the Salon and San Francisco Chronicle/Gate sources are trivial one sentence mentions and do not satisfy WP:NOTABILITY. Powers is incorrect in thinking that notability is inherited from something like the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards. PC Mag coverage is pretty trivial, however this Library Journal review and this Publishers Weekly source suggest this topic does have the significant coverage in multiple independent sources that we need. Article does need a major rewrite. Rangoondispenser (talk) 20:36, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Excuse me? I said nothing about notability being inherited. The Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards win is an indicator of notability. WP:WEB is quite clear that such award winners are likely to be notable. Powers ^T 02:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your "Keep, All XXXXX are notable" argument is a classic example of a WP:INHERITED argument. And, no, some minor online award is not an indicator of WP:Notability. WP:WEB is quite clear that winning a well-known award is likely to result in notability, but of course not little-known awards. Rangoondispenser (talk) 03:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Again you mischaracterize my argument. Cease setting up straw men for you to knock down and address what I actually wrote. Powers ^T 12:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - What was your argument then? It looked to me like you were saying "Keep, All Web Cartoonists' Choice Award winners are notable." Rangoondispenser (talk) 14:47, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Per WP:WEB, subjects that have "won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization" are highly likely to be notable enough for an article. That's not the same as "all award winners are notable". Powers ^T 13:55, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - The "Sinfest in print" section of the article is especially problematic. With one exception, it only lists books published by the author of the webcomic. The one exception claims that "Sinfest has appeared in the comic magazine Nemi" but the link to Nemi is to a comic strip, not a publication. Does anyone have any acytual evidence that Sinfest has ever been in print? Guy Macon (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - If you look at which ones were non-self-published, you can slash that number in half or more. I think the article already has a suitable citation showing that his anthologies have been picked up by Dark Horse. Axem Titanium (talk) 01:49, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While it does happen that a bunch of keep votes alone is enough to save an article, it is far more certain to be retained if the evidence of notability is incorporated into the article rather than just discussed on the talk page.

(Responding to your suggestion of withdrawal) Are you trying to make some kind of point here? It's fair if you don't feel like improving an article you sent to AFD, but why don't you just withdraw the nom now? It looks basically like SNOW keep already.

Axem Titanium (talk) 22:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When making such decisions, I always make the choice that is most likely to benefit Wikipedia. I have no expertise in the area of web comics, but clearly many of the commenters do.

Keep. Sourcing indicates notability. Drmies (talk) 01:08, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep AFD is not cleanup, first of all. You don't nominate something for deletion unless you believe the article's subject isn't notable. Reliable sources have been found that give adequate coverage of this webcomic. Also if you want something added to the article, such as the sources found, then do it yourself. Dream Focus 10:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I nominated it I did not see any indications of notability. Please assume good faith. I would attempt to make the improvements myself, but somehow I suspect that someone who has actually read at least one SinFest webcomic might be better qualified to do that. AFD is not cleanup, but it is never wrong to encourage people to improve an article. Guy Macon (talk) 11:30, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've updated my original comment above to "Speedy Keep." See Wikipedia:Speedy keep -- Nominator has effectively withdrawn their "No evidence of notability" nomination when they write "it appears to me that notability has been established by the publishers weekly citation"[46] that was provide 6 days ago.[47] They've also said that "If I see the above-mentioned indications of notability incorporated into the article (especially the "published in print" claim), I will withdraw my nomination for deletion."[48] Of course, the article has for over a year and a half[49] had the "published in print claim" with attribution that "Dark Horse Comics republished in June 2009 the first volume of compiled strips". Rangoondispenser (talk) 19:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
