Non-notable Alice in Wonderland sequel; no hits for "the clock strikes black" "kelly nichols" on Google News and News archives or even Google Books. CtP (t • c) 23:08, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is ultimately an Alice in Wonderland fanfiction and hasn't been "officially" published anywhere except for fanfiction.com. [1], [2] Fanfiction can sometimes be notable, but in this case all a search brings up are various instances of the author spamming the internet to promote her book. I'm not going to say that this is ultimately the author using Wikipedia as her own personal advertising space, but I've seen enough in my search to suggest that this is a self-promotional attempt by the author. The book or the author may one day become notable, but it isn't in the here and now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A question: since it seems to exist nowhere other than fanfiction.net, then could it be A7'd as non-notable web content? CtP (t • c) 18:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe. I'd never thought of that. I'd give it a whirl, explaining the reason for the speedy in the summary field. It's worth a try, since it's fairly clear that this hasn't a snowball's chance of surviving an AfD unless some extreme circumstance happened in the next day or so.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable (WP:GNG); has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Guoguo12 (Talk) 22:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - software article lacking reliable 3rd party refs to establish notability (refs provided are a personal site/blog and a developer's site). Created by an SPA as possibly promotional.Dialectric (talk) 06:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unnotable term, that barely seems to exist outside of Wikipedia and its mirrors. It seems to just mean "hardware or software that does a lot of things". For what it's worth, nearly all of the references for this article are broken links. Yaron K. (talk) 22:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable song and I have found zero evidence of appropriate third-party sources to establish notability. I should also note that the author has started Arash Haerizadeh and Anthematic, all three of them containing the same links. The author is obviously a single purpose account with the sole intent of starting articles for this group. SwisterTwister talk 21:25, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable singer and I haven't found any appropriate sources to support this article. It is possible that reliable sources may be Arabic but considering that Iran is conservative when it comes to music, it's probably unlikely. I should also note that the author has started Anthematic and Home (Anthematic single), all of them containing the same primary sources. SwisterTwister talk 21:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- First of all, language of Iranians is not Arabic. Regarding reliable sources, the best Internet source for Iranian music is BBC Persian website. I've searched it, the guy is not notable. --Z 14:43, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to meet WP:GNG. Only news sources refer to games at the field, not the field itself. The only books that list it are sourced to Wikipedia. No hits at Google scholar search. Gtwfan52 (talk) 21:13, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - into Calabasas High School. I agree there probably isn't enough for a stand-alone article but there should be enough for a sub-heading section in the school's article to note that it was the home of the San Fernando Valley Quakes, etc. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 03:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:GNG Go Phightins! (talk) 21:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
After seeing the Swedish Wikipedia article, I believe this article is salvageable. I was unaware of this article at the time of my nomination and didn't come across it during the course of my WP:BEFORE investigation. I agree with DGG that it might be a good idea to note articles that have articles on other wikis more clearly on this one. But I hereby withdraw my nomination for this article. Thanks to all who participated in the discussion and especially to DragonflySixtyseven for pointing out that article. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:52, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The article lists his jobs but does not assert why he is notable. The source is just about his death. Electric Catfish2 21:28, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Swedish Wikipedia + Google Translate => definite notability (award-winning, juror for various other awards, listed as one of the most powerful media people here, one of the most influential media people there, etc etc) ==> definite keep, but article strongly needs to be improved by incorporation of data mentioned in sv.wiki (at the very least).

- Keep The sources in the Swedish WP just have to be copied over. Fully enough to meet the GNG. It is a shame that people nominating articles with corresponding articles in other WPs don't first look at those articles & see if at least there are additional sources. DGG ( talk ) 23:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Short of googling "Pontus Schultz Swedish Wikipedia", which I just did, I am not sure how one would know of that article. When I came across this article, this revision existed. The only source was about a bike accident that led to his death. There was no indication of notability. My google search of simply his name led to sources related to his death, nothing about his life. Therefore, I thought I carried out the four guidelines as outlined in WP:BEFORE and went ahead to nominate it for AFD. I apologize for not making the connection to search for it under Swedish Wikipedia. Sorry--Go Phightins! (talk) 01:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- you could have known about it from the link in the right hand column that reads "Svenska", which would have taken you directly to the Swedish article. It is put there by the code at the bottom of the page [[sv:Pontus Schultz]] . This is how we indicate the presence of an article in another Wikipedia, and it was present at the time. I guess we need to publicize it more. But the article should also have been marked with the code at the top {{Expand Swedish|Pontus Schultz}}, which produces a message asking that it be expanded with text and references from the longer article in that encyclopedia. I just added that code, and you will see what it displays. This one at least is hard to miss. I guess we need to publicize that also. DGG ( talk ) 01:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm looking at the revision when I nominated it. I do not see the Svenska that you're citing here. Now that you added the code at the top, it's hard to miss.

Fails notability and political policies. Fails GNG. Fails our policies and consensus on notable lobby/pressure groups. Lobby group without notability beyond the Internet. Has no constant, consistent non-Internet coverage. Article suffers from bias. Not a political group in any definition of the term in the UK, not to mention any of the constituent parts. doktorb wordsdeeds 20:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep: Accusations levelled at the article are baseless.
- Proponent claims WDAR has no notability beyond the Internet. Yet the Sun and Express articles, for example, have been published both online and in their print versions. It has also been widely discussed on radio programmes, of which the source quoted in the article itself is just one example. Other high-profile non-Internet coverage includes an interview of a party candidate on the BBC's Daily Politics show alongside UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall.
- That video link is by the user "nikkisinclairemp", and therefore a primary source - no good for helping notability. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The original work is by the BBC, which is what should count for the purposes of judging notability. Sinclaire just uploaded the video, nothing else. She clearly didn't stage the interview on a fake BBC set. --Leptictidium (mt) 12:42, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That video link is by the user "nikkisinclairemp", and therefore a primary source - no good for helping notability. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Proponent claims the article suffers from bias. Yet the main contributor to the article (me) is staunchly pro-EU, so accusing me of trying to embellish information on WDAR is ridiculous.
- Proponent claims this is not a political group in any definition of the term in the UK. Yet the party has been registered with the Electoral Commission since June this year; if being registered with the EC as a political party is not a definition of "political group", then what is?--Leptictidium (mt) 08:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- merge to Nikki Sinclaire, until there's clear evidence this is a real political party that stands in elections, rather than one person's crusade that could peter out before the euro elections. There are some sources, but mostly about Sinclaire[3][4][5] - it's mostly local press from around Sinclaire's constituency. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep - sources 1, 3, 5 and 6 are all primary sources, not suitable for testing notability. 3 is a press release, and hence not independent. That leaves an article each from The Sun and the Daily Express, just giving us significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources (assuming you believe 2 is "multiple"). And I didn't really want a photo of Katie Hopkins thrown in my face while eating my lunch. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: source 1 has been replaced with a non-primary source, making it at least three independent, reliable sources. Leptictidium (mt) 12:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I found out about this party from a BBC show "Daily Politics" which did not feature Nikki Sinclair, but another woman Katie Hopkins (sp?). I vote to keep, since this is now a party with notoriety thanks to the BBC and some newspapers as others have mentioned. I have no political connect to this or any British party. 78.52.102.235 (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. All comment relating to the neutrality or lack thereof were discounted as that is an editing issue and not pertinent to a deletion debate. The issue of how many libraries it is in seems to have been refuted as not necessarily indicating notability. Therefore it seems consensus favors he idea that at this time this subject is not sufficiently notable for an encyclopedia entry. Willing to userfy if requested.

Appears to fail the WP:GNG. There have been determined efforts to promote the topic, onwiki and offwiki, so it's easy to find ghits - but there's a severe shortage of substantial coverage by independent sources. Article was created by one of the SPAs from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Transformative Studies Institute; a different one removed the PROD that I placed recently. bobrayner (talk) 20:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why deleting it when it only describes a journal without referring or making judgements about any other thing. It is an informative entry, it adds information to the web and harms nobody, I think that is what Wikipedia is, or should be, about — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.158.236.99 (talk) 16:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. NJ notes "For journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and GoogleScholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases, one can also look at how frequently the journal is held in various academic libraries", and this journal has a cited claim about "it is available in over 220 academic libraries worldwide". The publisher and editor seem notable. I don't see this as self-promotional, seems like a neutral entry. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:41, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. If in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources is added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:39, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I am not a pro wiki editor but believe this is a legitimate entry as a Marxist academic journal, names involved are a who’s who of the Left. It has coverage e.g., listed on the Alternative Press Index, listed by Worldcat as available globally in 220 libraries. Examples of coverage/reference by other independent institutions/sources:http://www2.myacpa.org/social-newsletter/past-newsletters/1965-fall-a-winter-2010-2, http://www.unav.es/adi/UserFiles/CvFiles/Files/17417/Social%20model.pdf , http://faculty.maxwell.syr.edu/yma03/files/Theory%20in%20Action%20V2%20N2.pdf, http://www.projectcensored.org/about/partners/Robdirect75 (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Theory in Action (TIA) is a legitimate academic/activist publication that is accessible online, and also in hundreds of libraries worldwide. Not every publication garners 'substantial coverage by independent sources', because most publications are not objects of study unto themselves (i.e. the basis for an article, or the subject of an interview). There is no false information presented in the entry, and TIA is not some newsletter printed & distributed in a grocery store parking lot somewhere in Topeka, KS; it is a journal that is edited by, published by, and features the work of, other respected college professors & activists (radical as some of them might be). I can find no grounds for deletion based on Wikipedia's standards, as well as my own judgement as a full-time college professor, published author, and co-editor of the oldest continuously running publication on the Internet (Bad Subjects).

- Delete Article creation seems premature. Most of the above arguments come down to "WP:ILIKEIT", with the exception of the argument about library holdings. However, part of these holdings will be through general access services like EBSCO (meaning a library did not really decide to subscribe to the journal, but just lists it because it gets it as part of a package deal), so I'd like to see a bit more solid evidence for notability than that. If the journal is as good as people here claim, it will soon garner either independent sources or be included in reputable selective databases. At the moment, though, we cannot say. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is your vendetta? Greglocock (talk) 01:24, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Quoting Wikipedia:Notability: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article". That EE Times article does not count: It has been written by a Maxim engineer and in part 2 it effectively advertises the MAX9788 amplifier with an integrated charge pump.

- Merge to Electronic_amplifier#Types_of_amplifier or Audio amplifier. Notability not established. Title makes it sound like the piezo is part of the amplifier but actually it is just an audio amplifier optimized for driving a piezo.

Although it appears to be a noble cause, it also appears to be non-notable and I haven't found any reliable third-party sources. Despite that the article claims the establishment date was 2002, I have found absolutely nothing to support this article's information from third-party sources, but there would be little to support with the article's current promotional state. Despite searching with Google News US and UK and Google Books with multiple terms including "non-profit", "2002", "Chinese culture" and "London", it seems they may never have received news coverage. EDIT: (29 September 2012) Looking through the edit history, I noticed that this 2002 BBC News article was removed nearly five years ago. Although the article is detailed, I believe this is insufficient and reads like an advertisement therefore not useful. I simply wanted to bring this to attention.

- Comment The Guardian website has some mention of the organisation: highlighting the website in a 2008 article,and coverage of their protests relating to the UK 2001 foot and mouth outbreak. The first is effectively a passing mention and the second discussion initiated by the organisation and noted by the Guardian letter ombudsman, so I don't see them as sufficiently substantial in themselves to establish notability.

- Comment The nominator asked my opinion. I dod not see the point of such a very general redirect--it would amount to including a list of all British chinese social web sites to the article, and we are not a web directory. I cannot tell whether or not the organization is notable, but this is one of the very rare situations where I can see either a keep or delete, but not something in the middle.

- Delete. I think that the applications of cellular automata in image processing could be an encyclopedia-worthy topic (see e.g. the results of this search) but not under this name, and the current article is worthless as a starting point.

- Keep. (Marginal call). The design of machines for processing cellular automata is a valid topic for an article, although the current page is in need of an almost total rewrite. Although the article on cellular automata is comprehensive, there is a distinction to be made between the theory of cellular automata and the design of machines for processing them, which has a long history (e.g. work of Duff, Fountain et al. on the CLIP machines at UCL in the 1970s/80s). 86.7.23.104 (talk) 15:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Prod was removed by the article creator with the comment "Filming is to start on September 27, 2012 and all the cast & crew is final."

This is a non-notable bogus medical treatment "referenced" only to a deadlinked-page on a spammy website. Peacock (talk) 17:00, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but possible rewrite - I reviewed the author's contributions and noticed that they started several useful articles so I believe this is not a hoax. Additionally, Google News received several, although not very useful, results. All of the results are advert-like but they suggest that this indeed exists.

There is nothing "medical" about this subject - this is a cosmetic treatment for the dubiously existing problem of "cellulite" - but that's not what determines whether we keep the article; if the subject is notable, we keep it.

Remove everything that is not in reliable, nontrivial sources, and the article that remains would say, "Ken Krawchuk was the Libertarian nominee for governor in Pennsylvania. He lost."

- Keep it, for several reasons. The political resume is sufficient IMO and not just governor. Elected state party chairman of the third largest political party in America, which qualifies under WP:POLITICIAN as a statewide office. Candidate for vice president adds to that. Also an inventor with three US patents, which meets the notability guidelines at WP:CREATIVE and/or Wikipedia:NRVE. Noted public speaker who conducted US presidential debates. Appears in Best Documentary, 2008 Sunscreen Film Festival[9] Re: the WP:GNG requirement, get past the recent novel and YouTube stuff on Google, and there are hundreds of newspaper articles from past races, mostly 2002 and 1998 governor races that meet WP:RS. Lots of reasons to keep it.

- Statewide office for the purposes of WP:POLITICIAN has always been interpreted as being part of a legislature or holding some kind of ministerial role. Being a state party chairman does not fulfil that criteria. Valenciano (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Very strong delete, actually. We have never accepted someone who tries but fails to get a minor party nomination even for such an important office as Vice-President office as notable for that reason alone, Similarly for candidates nominated and running for offices such as representative to Congress from minor parties--I've advocated this for the 2 major parties in a 2 party system, but I would go beyond this. Similar for the state chairmanship: in the US, I would accept that for the 2 major parties, but not for others. The other writings are trivial. And the argument above that he is the most google-prominent person with the name of Krawchuk is rather ridiculous. I find it hard to believe that such arguments can be made in good faith, but I think in this case it's more of ILIKEHIM. Essentially all mentions of him are just that, mentions.

Fails WP:ORG as I can't find any reliable sources about it. David1217 What I've done 02:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - According to the article, "Spinghar TV is locally available in Nangarhar, Kabul, Parwan, Kunduz, Takhar, Balkh, Peshawar, Mardan, Qutta, Karachi, Swat Trabal Aria and Torkham. It transmits hourly news, current affairs programs, entertainment programs, politics programs, sports programs and criminal incidents programs. Spinghar TV offers a current affairs Programme (نن سبا) from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan. In Pakistan this programme has become popular. The program discusses basic questions regarding the constitution, rule of law, Pashtun affairs and democracy in political parties." If we assume those assertions to be true, a plausible notion, then I'd say that we'd likely be making a mistake by simply deleting the article. It's quite possible that we're either overlooking or cannot even access relevant source material, seeing as it is primarily in an obscure language in a less-than-connected part of the world. We should probably first be having a conversation about whether to redirect the title to a regional article about the general subject, or whether we can find someone more familiar with the Afghan media. Also, for research reference, the station's Facebook page reveals activity and trends that appear commensurate with comparable Pashto stations, and somewhat humorously, their official logo is a direct derivative of Sportiva's. — C M B J 04:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find any web sources. If book sources can be found, that's great (where could we look, I wonder?) but if it's too obscure, it should be deleted because it fails WP:V. David1217 What I've done 01:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally speaking, I'm of the position that viable non-English articles should be held closer to the inclusion standards of yesteryear until such areas of our project are proportionally mature. In this case, I agree that we've got to at least reasonably establish that the station is roughly what it claims to be — which hasn't yet been done — and that's why I took no position on whether we actually keep the article at this point in time. As for further research, there appear to be several videos on YouTube (e.g., here) that closely resemble what is described in the 'SPINGHAR in Europe' section, though they reference Spinghar.tv (the original dead link in this article) and facebook/spinghartv.tv as opposed to spenghar.com and facebook/spenghar; it's unclear whether or not the former is an affiliate of the latter, though it seems somewhat unlikely because both have unique logos, production values, and ongoing Facebook posts. There are also rudimentary mentions of "Spin Ghar" internews station in a 2005 Afghan Media Commission Interim Report and "Spin Ghar Film" production company in a 2010 USAID Priority District Report, though both reports precede the date of founding described in our article. — C M B J 10:21, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List that seems to violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. BenTels (talk) 15:46, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Wikipedia contains many lists, including for specialized groups of academic journals. These are a valuable resource, helping define and demarcate a particular field of study. For fields such as Urban and regional planning, such a list would be too cumbersome within the main article on that topic. Redlinks within such lists are an important source for identifying related articles for future development. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Some lists are extremely informative and valuable and add much to the encyclopedia (just see some of our featured list articles). Other lists are like this one: a bare enumeration of items, basically duplicating a category (in this case: Category:Urban studies and planning journals) and don't add anything else to the encyclopedia. In addition, there don't seem to be any independent sources that discuss this class of journals as a group. Hence, does not meet WP:LISTN. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that the list is barely a month old, so there is substantial room for its further development as an informative article (still a 'stub' list).

- Place/institution of publication, years of publication, periodicity...

- See WP:NOTDUP and WP:CLN generally; navigational lists (i.e., those that index articles) function as a complement to the category system, and both systems have benefits the other does not. WP:LISTN has no relevance to such lists as should be clear from WP:LISTPURP, WP:CLN, and WP:SALAT (and by LISTN itself, which states that it does not apply to all kinds of lists); planning journals is what these notable topics are, so whether or not sources "discuss this class of journals as a group" is not meaningful here. So keep as valid navigational list, per my comments and those of DASonnenfeld. The nom's WP:VAGUEWAVE doesn't merit a response without some explanation as to why this list violates NOTDIR contra its navigational function. postdlf (talk) 08:26, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The article topic is, for anyone who hasn't guessed, the Czech/Slovak version of the Got Talent format - in fact, Got Talent currently contains more information about the subject than this article. There are Czech, Slovak and French articles on the topic, all far more detailed than this one - the Czech and Slovak articles seem to be roughly as detailed (and sourced) as, for instance, Eesti talent here on English Wikipedia. Under the circumstances, I would suggest leaving the discussion open for another week to see if anyone improves the article - the topic certainly seems to be just as notable as any popular television show, but the current article adds nothing to Wikipedia and almost all sources for an improved article will be in either Czech or Slovak.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article on a non existent body, written totally in POV, without serious (let alone reliable) sources. Distortion of history. Even "flag" imposed on a "proposed" state (?) which was supposed to be called "Republic of Pontus", by the concerned WP editor who made up the article. E4024 (talk) 15:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As seen at [12], the Republic of Pontus was at least a serious proposal for a state that might have been formed due to the territorial changes at the end of World War I. Any problems with the article can be dealt with through normal editing. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The book by Forster does mention the Republic of Pontus, but I can't access the entire thing from Google Books. A cursory search turns up at least a dozen books that could be used as future references in the article, including works by the American-Hellenic Society, the US War Department, and The Times of London. There's also an article from The New York Times which states "The Greeks of Trebizond asked the Peace Conference to detach Trebizond from Turkey and to form of it a separate State to be known as the Republic of Pontus". The topic is notable and any problems can be solved via normal editing, as Metropolitan90 said. For examples of articles on other non-existent bodies, see List of proposed state mergers and List of United States territories that failed to become states#Proposed but non-existent entities. Braincricket (talk) 19:04, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Clarification The above referred writer mentions a "desire" to have a republic not a state or a project thereof... --E4024 (talk) 10:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: Although this article involves inaccurate information, we can find reliable sources even in Turkish language. See: (Pontus Cumhuriyeti). I think this case is a kind of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 14:19, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Easily a notable topic. This is just a major case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Athenean (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yeah, there are good reasons behind this request that are not just that E doesn't like it. Can anyone find a link source to support this claim: "the Republic of Pontus was never officially proclaimed, but a central government of an embryonic state existed." All I can find is people calling it a "political aspiration" or that there were "plans to declare a Pontus Republic", or "The Greek Republic of Pontus never became a reality, and in the abortive struggle to create it the Pontic Greeks were displaced with enormous loss of life" or, "How and why the Republic of Pontus did not materialize". I'm leaning toward Keep, but proposer is right: 1. Topic has not been the subject of serious, reputable study (there are no English scholarly histories on the topic, just brief mentions on other subjects) 2. And the brief mentions which do exist, seem to make clear that it was a political aspiration and never anywhere close to an "Unrecognized state" or even "embryonic state." I will vote to Keep if someone can show me: A. A major reputable treatment of the subject (without this, there is no notability for a historical entity) or B. Someone shows something that says this wasn't just an idea by a handful of people with good diplomatic connections, but an actually existing entity. Otherwise, the content should probably be merged with Paris Peace Conference page or
Trabzon pagePontic Greeks. AbstractIllusions (talk) 15:37, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you kidding me? There is plenty of material on the subject [13]. Yeah, so it was never implemented, only proposed. That has nothing to do with whether the subject is notable or not. By the way, who is it you are following around? Me, or E4024? If it's me I would prefer it it if you stopped. Athenean (talk) 15:49, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- @Athenean. Thanks for the comments. No sources in that search, except the Eccumenical one, spend more than a line or two on the Pontic Republic. All of them use the term once, if at all (seriously click on the books and you will only find trivial mentions). Wikipedia:Notability is clear that Notability has to be more than trivial mentions, although not necessarily the full subject of the article. We need a couple of sources that spend a page or two on the Republic of Pontus to clearly say it is notable. United States of Latin Africa which has a few scholarly treatments (although not the article) may be a good example of an imaginary state that is notable. But even if there isn't that scholarly treatment, I said I would be convinced of its notability if it ever was an "Unrecognized state" or even "Embryonic State". If it had an office, I'd probably lean towards Keep. So there are two ways you can convince me: show me a significant treatment of it in a reputable source (I will not be convinced by Google Book hits for trivial mentions) or show me it actually existed. Either one will convince me the topic is notable. I think both are quite reasonable and following guidelines too. Once again, I'm leaning toward Keep, but don't think dismissing the arguments by E is helpful in figuring this out. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I don't see how there can be any reasonable doubt that the topic is notable: there are a ton of textbooks containing this theorem. And "this is a standard homework problem" is not a reason for deletion. Jowa fan (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I added two more textbooks that cover this (they don't call it "the fundamental theorem" but we already have one source for the name, and anyway notability is about content not naming). To me the nominator's argument that this is a standard exercise (as it is in some other texts that I found) only strengthens the case for its notability. I'm not convinced that the lengthy and unsourced "proof" sections in the current version of the article are helpful, and two of them seem to be assuming without justification that the group is finite, but they can be cleaned up. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, and merge -- I have never heard of it referred to as a fundamental theorem, and it doesn't really seem deep enough to deserve the modifier. The page seems to have developed into a list of proofs, which is not a good thing. I think the other information is good could be crafted into an excellent addition of a more appropriate article.

- Delete unless evidence can be provided that this is a standard name for the result. The result can certainly be mentioned somewhere; that's not a problem. The problem is that we don't want to endorse a name for the result that someone just made up one day (and therefore we don't want to leave a redirect). Whatever content you might want to merge somewhere (I can't imagine it's much), please just re-write it rather than merging, so that no redirect is required. --Trovatore (talk) 19:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Meh. I don't know if every characterization theorem for some class of groups needs a separate article. Yes, you can show that it passes GNG by citing some pages in almost any book on groups. But is it that notable in the real-world sense of the word that it needs a separate article? Does it have some history worth mentioning and so forth that would make it unwieldy in the main article?

- Merge and redirect to Cyclic group. While this is clearly a name for the theorem, there seems no reason to believe that it is the name. There is essentially only one book in Google Books using this name (the alternative name "Characterization Theorem for Cyclic Groups" mentioned above scores two) and 12 hits for the phrase on Google Scholar. Compare with 37,700 hits on Google Books for "Fundamental theorem of algebra". Deltahedron (talk) 19:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There are 399 articles that begin with "Fundamental theorem of" [14] I don't have an opinion on this, since I went to a horrible public school in a poor area that couldn't afford to hire teachers so just had people hired off the street that didn't teach us anything. Thus I don't know what any of this stuff is. Is it common though that Wikipedia articles have a side article for the theorems? Dream Focus 17:46, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I understand why a political operative like the subject would want to have his unattractive (but cited) past scrubbed from an online enyclopedia. While the Seattle Times link has gone dead and can't be found in archives, this source demonstrates that the source exists and could be found in an offline search. Further, this source shows the subject buying a home with a CR co-worker, now a NC congressman and illegally claiming with him District of Columbia's Homestead Tax Deduction. The USA Today and Las Vegas sources put this subject past the bar of notability, IMHO. On further reading, it seems an SPA scrubbed scandal from a company connected to the subject in 2010, which I've now added back in. This may or not be related. BusterD (talk) 15:26, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteComment – The additional sources which BusterD sited and linked are not reliable independent secondary sources as they are partisan blogs. The additional links appear to be pushing this BLP toward PSEUDO Biography and attack page. The subject clearly fails WP: Notability standard and personally requests deletion.
- From the Wikipedia policy on Deletion of BLPs of Relatively Unknown Subjects: Where the subject of a BLP has requested deletion, the deletion policy says: "Discussions concerning biographical articles of relatively unknown, non-public figures, where the subject has requested deletion and there is no rough consensus, may be closed as delete.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottgstewart (talk • contribs) 00:30, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - As head for multiple years of the Republican Party's youth section, this is an individual about whom there should be encyclopedic biography. THIS PIECE in a BYU magazine about Stewart and his running mate notes that the national College Republicans organization includes 779 chapters and 80,000 members — a hefty-sized organization. To wheel out once again my often-used rationale: "I favor the lowest possible bar for inclusion of pieces about political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections regardless of size or ideology — this is the sort of thing that SHOULD be in an encyclopedia." There do seem to be some possible undue weight issues, which is an editing matter. Carrite (talk) 15:43, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The relisting of this BLP appears odd. The additional links provided are partisan political blogs and do not yield sufficient evidence of neutrality required by reliable secondary sources. The Carrite addition of the BYU piece does nothing to show notability as Stewart is not the subject of the article and the BYU student newspaper is not a reliable secondary source. Even he noted that the article is unbalanced. Additionally, since the subject is relatively unknown and has personally requested deletion, is there any chance a consensus could appear? Since such a consensus is essentially impossible, the policy mandates that the article be closed as delete.

- Delete. Insufficient evidence of non-inherited notability. Subject does not meet Wikipedia notability standard and has not been the subject of multiple published secondary sources as he is only the subject of one sourced article – USA Today. He is only mentioned in all the other articles and is not the subject thereof. Additional links appear to be Democratic political blogs and fail any real standard of inclusion.

- Delete. One modestly substantial piece in a newspaper (USA Today) isn't really enough to meet WP:GNG, and the WP:BLP issues make it a clear delete in my view. The lack of general coverage of Stewart means that the article ends up being dominated by the unproven allegations, which (as DGG noted) makes it function as an attack page. I assume that was not the intent of the article's creator(s), but it is the effect. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:23, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete - this is a fairly strange case, not helped by the two SPAs who have chosen this AfD and a related article each as their only articles of interest. I can only imagine there's some serious sock-puppetry going on. I have had a look at the sources - one was broken so I fixed it, another was a dead link and the original article is now behind a pay-wall so I hid it. Strictly speaking, I think the subject does (just) meet WP:GNG on the basis of the articles provided - three articles either focussed on the subject or that mention him specifically and provide more than just passing mentions. I acknowledge that the articles that remain aren't particularly complimentary, but if we deleted every BLP on the basis that notability should be established only by "complimentary" coverage then we would lose many BLP articles over-night. However, given the meeting of WP:GNG is (at this stage) marginal, given the subject has requested deletion and given our want to uphold the principle of doing no harm, I'd be inclined to delete. It is worth pointing out, I think, that one or two more sources could probably put WP:GNG beyond doubt, regardless of whether they speak highly of the subject or not. If the subject were to receive more coverage in the future (regardless of tone) an article could possibly be justified again. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Stalwart111 says what I wanted to say much better than I did:)
- I agree that this is a marginal case, and that more coverage in the future might justify re-creation. However, a re-created article would need to take care not give undue weight to unproven allegations. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I am recommending that U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina be deleted. It was originally setup with only focus on the combined section of US 15 and US 501 in North Carolina. Later, it was modified to include both in more detail without breaking them out as two separate pages. Now that two separate pages have finally been created for the two US Routes (that will make it easier to go into more detail regarding history, future, differences, etc.), this page is no longer needed. --WashuOtaku (talk) 00:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment leaning oppose on technical grounds. Was content copied across from the US 15-501 article into the separate US 15 in NC and US 501 in NC articles? If so, this can't be deleted. If the content was copied, under the terms of the licenses used here, it has to be redirected to one or the other article, and then {{copied}} has to be added to the talk pages of the all three articles to attribute the content correctly.
- Having said all of that, I support the essential proposal, but a deletion isn't possible. Split and duplicate the content as needed, apply the attribution templates, and then redirect US 15-501 to one of the articles and call it a day. Imzadi 1979 → 12:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If a deletion isn't possible, then a redirect to U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina seems the prudent choice of the two, it's the dominant partner in the relationship (using it's mile markers along the route). --WashuOtaku (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletenoting concerns above. --Rschen7754 15:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply] - Redirect to U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina per Imzadi1979. It would be nice to split the material evenly between the two routes, but since US 15 is the dominant of the two routes, I've got to go with redirecting it to US 15. I almost considered directing it back to the main US 15 and/or US 501 pages, though. ----DanTD 23:31, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In this case, it doesn't matter where it redirects; the page history can't be deleted for licensing reasons. The only way around that restriction is to copy a list of every account or IP that edited the article to the talk pages. If such a list is created (doesn't have to be a direct copy of the page history) then the redirect wouldn't need to be retained for technical/licensing issues. Dough's suggestion of making it a dab page is also valid over a redirect. In any case, if WashuOtaku or someone else copied text from this article into the others, some attribution must be maintained. Imzadi 1979 → 23:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is it possible to merge the history from US 15-501 to both US 15 and US 501? If we can, let's do that and delete US 15-501. If not, we could history merge into US 15 and then consider US 501 a fork of US 15. Hopefully, that would take care of the license issue. –Fredddie™ 13:12, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted, there's hundreds of reliable sources that specifically discuss "U.S. 15-501" as a topic. Merely because some Wikipedians choose to write either U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina or U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina to be redundant of U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina doesn't make the topic redundant.

- Relisting comment. Some of the editors above changed from "delete" to "convert to dab" or "redirect" due to the requirement that the page history be kept. However, it is entirely possible to keep the history and make U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina appear as a red link; all that's necessary is to move the page somewhere. It could be moved to a subpage of the talk page that the material was merged into, or it could be moved to a more likely title and then redirected to one of the relevant articles. After that, we can use the {{copied}} template on the pages that had material merged into them, and the problem would be solved. (See WP:MAD for the full explanation.) My reason for relisting is that once editors realised that this is a valid outcome, then they might want to alter their positions. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 14:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing that U.S. Route 15-501 in North Carolina should be made into a DAB because there are articles on U.S. Route 15 in North Carolina and U.S. Route 501 in North Carolina is nothing more than the What about article x? argument listed in Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same reasons expressed here. Nothing is changed since then, and this entry has been recreated even without prior discussion.

- Keep per precedent. That said (and realizing I might be in the minority), I'm not really a fan of these kinds of articles in general. That is, the song appears to lack any significant coverage in independent reliable sources, thereby failing WP:GNG, and WP:MUSIC also states that "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Regarding the line in WP:NSONGS which states "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article", if we take this literally, than we can easily craft articles for most every song from every album, provided the album's liner notes - and a couple of album reviews - exist. That reasoning kind of goes against the spirit of the guidelines, IMO. I'm not saying liner notes can't be legitimate sources, but they do not factor in establishing notability. Virtually the entire "Recording and production" section of this article is taken from the album's liner notes, and the bulk of that information is repeated in the "Credits and personnel" section. That leaves the "Composition and critical reception" section, which contains trivial/passing mentions of the song within reviews for the album. I just prefer seeing something where the song is the focus - not necessarily the main subject of a write-up, but at least where it's discussed in some depth. As for the song charting, that alone does not warrant a standalone article, as songs routinely get redirected/merged when the article contains little other information - ie, the album's liner notes were not incorporated. Anyway, I'll support keeping this article since that seems to be the result in similar, recent AfDs involving songs by Lady Gaga. Gongshow Talk 07:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever written here is clear copy of what I've written at ¡Uno! and there is no difference other then one or two lines which are either unsourced or unnecessary. Track listing is not released and nor has been any confirmation of songs from the album or singles. It is best to salt this and redirect to Green Day for now. Though not failing GNG, it is clearly copy of other article. It is WP:TOOSOON and I can do much better with this once there are more details out. TheSpecialUser TSU 06:51, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think it's clear by the sources the album exists in some fashion and will be publicly available in a few short months. While the "word-for-word" thing is a problem, it's also easily corrected. I believe this article passes the necessary policies (WP:GNG, WP:N, WP:NALBUM) to continue to exist. The album work has been released and was previously on the article prior to it's redirection, which I undid. In short, keep, it more than meets the necessary policies to be kept. Just needs a re-write to keep it from being a word-for-word copy of another article. CRRaysHead90 | Get Some! 06:57, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem with changing words but can you add more info to differ the article, like 21st and AI are? Even if changed wording, the meaning remains the same as it is in UNO. It is impossible as there are no details available out there, right now. TheSpecialUser TSU 07:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- They're part of a trilogy all announced at once. A lot of the information will be the same, it is inevitable. CRRaysHead90 | Get Some! 07:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's about time that both Tre and Dos have a wiki page, we know a lot about the albums already, even some of the songs have been confirmed, so there can be a partial track listing (just without numbers). For example we know 99 Revolutions is going to be on Tre as well as Stray Heart. The first confirmed in an interview when they first announced the trilogy and the latter during the radio interview with Zane Lowe. Also in the end all three of the wiki pages will end up very similar anyway, and its just a starting ground right now. Cruiseshipfan (talk) 11:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Green Day for now. The album is definitely scheduled for release, and some details are known about it (cover art, names of a couple tracks) but it's still too soon to have a stand-alone article. As the release draws closer one expects more sources and info will become available, at which point it can be un-redirected and expanded. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:13, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect/merge to Green Day. Much of ¡Tré!'s "Recording and release" section is identical to that of the ¡Uno! article. Understandable, but it also shows - along with no confirmed track listing - that there's little individual notability for ¡Tré! at this time, and that it'd be sensible to wait a bit for more specifics to emerge.

One source calls her a "renowned writer and poetess", another says she is "one of China's most promising poets", and she apparently won a national poetry prize. I think that satisfies #1 of WP:CREATIVE and #1 of WP:ANYBIO. The article needs love and the sources could be better, but the subject is "worthy of notice".

Does not appear to be a complete hoax, but unverifiable. In particular, this is supposedly a Chinese poet, but the article uses a Vietnamese name (with no suggestion that the alleged poet is from what is now Vietnam or southern Chinese regions that were culturally related to Vietnam). Further, it incorrectly states that Qin Shi Huang died on a search for the islands (he did send Xu Fu, among others, to look for such islands, but never went himself). While it does cite a published source, what is in here is simply too unreliable and too unverifiable to stand. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 03:27, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you actually consult the source listed before concluding that this source did not verify any of this information? It doesn't sound like it from your comment, even if you end up being right about the information being unverifiable.
The first version of this article (posted anonymously back when that was still possible) had all of its present substantive content, attributed to that one book. The book is listed at Amazon with a "look inside" feature here, and using their search tool for "Ngoc Minh" or just "Ngoc" gets zero results; the index is also visible there and contains nothing relevant to any of this article's content. "Ngoc Minh" + Qin + poet gets nothing relevant via Google Books. This all suggests it was an outright hoax. postdlf (talk) 03:43, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Let's just be polite and say that this is a GNG failure of dubious veracity. A Vietnamese name for a Chinese poet seems unlikely. Started in 2005 by an IP, so good luck getting the creator to lend us advice on sourcing — if this is indeed legit and not a hoax. I'm not seeing anything but WP and WP mirrors in English.

This article does not meet the requirements of notability for Wikipedia. The only reference is one site with a very short biography of Tim Byrnes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redofromstart (talk • contribs) 14:27, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - No real sources to indicate notability of this musician. I'm finding a few hits, but none of them are substantial. The ones that aren't from social networking sites, and thus are unusable, are usually very brief mentions of his name in listings of performers, or just self-written bios. He played the trumpet in a very minor musical, so he gets a few name drops in relation to that, but none of it is actually substantially about him enough to establish notability.

- Delete - does not have third party coverage according to searches above, contents of article betray that it is vanity article about non-notable musical performer. JoshuSasori (talk) 01:08, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The soundcloud page for the the affiliated band Hazel-rah has about 100 plays over one year. This is a pretty minor band. redofromstart (talk) 14:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
