- Query: Is there a difference between "pythonturtle" and "python turtle"? If there isn't, GNG seems trivial. However, demonstrating one way or the other seems oddly difficult. Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There seem to be two different things meant by python turtle. The first is the LOGO-like programming environ mentioned in the article. The second is given by the turtle python/Tk module. This is a graphics module with no development environ associated with it, just an API. --Mark viking (talk) 19:12, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

College basketball player does not meet the WP notability standard for athletes - see WP:NBASKETBALL, which requires at least one game in a major professional sports league or a very high draft pick in the national league to establish notability. College basketball players' notability guidelines are at WP:NCOLLATH, and Gladden also fails here, as there is little to no national media attention as required by the guideline. (In fact, other than reports of her death, there is little media coverage at all). Wikipeterproject (talk) 07:45, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The EuroCup Women, in which she has participated for several years, is such a competition. Please do at least a bit of research before nominating an article. You've already edited your rationale
fivefour times after nominating the article, which is quite a hint you haven't done that. --78.53.135.178 (talk) 07:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Comment. From what I can gather, the Eurocup is a second tier competition and participation therein would therefore would not generally meet WP notability standards. As far as exposure and national media coverage goes, I think a simple Google news search almost speaks for itself here. The amount of editing of my nomination is irrelevant, since this is a question of notability as per WP guidelines, not how well one can draft a nomination. Note also that I have not made changes to the nomination rationale after anyone commented on it. Wikipeterproject (talk) 14:03, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment First, your nomination was solely based on her high school career, then on her college career. So you were still ignoring the teams listed in the infobox and the external links of the article. If you don't take into account the teams she had played for in recent years, that just is a poorly executed nomination. Second, yes it is a second tier competion, but on European level, in which only those teams can participate that have won their respective national championship or that have placed among the top teams of the best national leagues in Europe. Another supranational league Gladden (as a member of the Partizan squad) had participated in is the MŽRKL, which they won that year. Many of Gladden's former team mates play for their respective national teams, and some already are covered by Wikipedia articles. Also note that the EuroCup is played during the WNBA off season, and many WNBA players take part in it as well. Concerning news - well, if the level of competition she has played in is high enough, I don't see that as a problem, as long as there is the possibility for proper verification. --78.53.135.178 (talk) 17:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Observation: I can't find a single WP article for any player whose highest level of competition is the Eurocup Women. Wikipeterproject (talk) 03:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Even at more than 4 million articles, there still are areas of interest that are largely uncovered by Wikipedia yet, so that in itself doesn't tell you anything. Expansion always has to start somewhere. If someone plays with and against national team members and WNBA players (i.e., those who play at the highest competition level possible in women's basketball) on a regular basis, I don't see the inherent difference between her and them concerning notability. A pan-European competition isn't comparable to high school or college basketball with its big spreads of skill levels. While being part of the country's biggest multi sports club (as in the case of Partizan Belgrade) certainly helps a bit, these teams aren't funded by major institutions like universities, so teams not performing at "major professional" levels usually couldn't even afford travelling through Europe for just one game each. --78.53.134.187 (talk) 09:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You have valid points, but they aren't in line with the current policy. Even factoring in Wikipedia:Ignore all rules, in my personal opinion, her achievements aren't encyclopedically notable. Transcendence (talk) 23:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep, the nominator is correct in pointing that the subject fails the letter of the NBASKETBALL guideline, but in my view EuroCup Women is an international competition even more important/significant than a national championship and still reflects the spirit of the guideline.

- Keep - The current version of the article is dreadful, and I would suggest it be revered back to a non promotional version like this one from the history. Articles like [1], [2], [3] demonstrate that he is a notable bartender / mixologist. -- Whpq (talk) 15:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Though the version you cited looks better, the point below still applies, which is that there is no notability here. It is a page about a bartender that lists several non-notable awards and makes several uncited claims to notability. SteelMarinerTalk 12:17, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I can't see any way that he meets the notability criteria for WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE. Unless we can come up with some other criteria for establishing the notability of bartenders (something the Bartending Task Force never managed to develop), I don't think this passes muster. Ibadibam (talk) 18:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, satisfies WP:NOTE, per Whpq (talk · contribs), above. — Cirt (talk) 16:05, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Please elaborate. Of those articles linked above, only the first and second are what we usually consider a reliable source, and by my reading of WP:NOTE, they don't really give him significant coverage in a way that demonstrates long-term notability. Is there something I'm missing? Ibadibam (talk) 16:48, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with the third source? Luxury lifestyle magazines may not be of interest to the average person, but that the site has an editorial board. -- Whpq (talk) 17:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, my mistake. I didn't notice it was a magazine. My above comments still stand, though: could someone actually explain which notability criteria are met by this individual? Ibadibam (talk) 20:06, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The appropriate guideline is WP:GNG as established through significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I picked out three sources of the ones I found quickly. I feel these sources fit the guidelines. The third source is a full profile where he is the primary topic. The first and second sources do not feature him as the primary topic, but the coverage not a passing mention, and sufficient for me to say that it represents significant coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 20:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to say that notability per WP:GNG (via WP:BASIC) is arguable. There's not really any depth to any of these sources, and there's nothing that provides evidence of real notability. A lot of shopowners, chefs and bartenders get written up as part of lifestyle/dining guides, and there's been no consensus to date as to whether that's enough to establish notability. (If he had made an enduring contribution to mixology this would be a lot more clear-cut — cf. Victor Vaughn Morris.) Perhaps it would be safe to let the article stand, cut out all the fluff, and reassess it later per WP:NTEMP if enduring notability can't be established. In the meantime, I'll stick some article message templates on it to pinpoint some of the issues. Ibadibam (talk) 21:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable recurring character. — Confession0791 talk 22:38, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Where do we even start here? No sources so it fails WP:V, no indication of why it's notable so it fails WP:GNG, it's written pretty crudely... I could go on and on, but the most important issue is the notability and verifiability. Nothing I see establishes it as being worth an article.

- Speedy Delete This article and List_of_Regular_Show_characters appear to contain copyvio from [4]. IRWolfie- (talk) 20:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- We can fix the copyvio on List of Regular Show characters, just redirect this article to there. — Confession0791 talk 03:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That Internet Movie Database link is user-submitted and very likely a {{Backwardscopy}}. Most of the entries read like Wikipedia leads, so I examined the histories of Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. I spot-checked revisions prior to the list's creation on September 10, 2011, and found that the text had existed on Wikipedia for over a month. List of Regular Show characters was split from Regular Show by User:Temastok (removal, cross-page diff). The second expansion by 80.98.24.185 came from the Pops article on the Regular Show Wikia. The Wikia page and List of Regular Show characters have similarities – I suspect copying in at least one direction – so it's not obvious which is the true source of the first expansion. Flatscan (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unattributed and unusable content from Wikia and redirect. Please also semi-protect to prevent 80.98.24.185 from recreating by pasting from somewhere (twice on this article and once on Ice King). Wikia is compatibly licensed CC-By-SA, so the text theoretically could be used if desired, but any content appropriate for Wikipedia is already in List of Regular Show characters. There's nothing here to justify repairing the attribution. Flatscan (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The Adventure Time main characters have enough information for stand alone articles, and I just recently improved the Ice King article. The main Regular Show characters do not – and certainly not a recurring character like Pops. — Confession0791 talk 13:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My point was that 80.98.24.185 has a habit of pasting from unidentified sources, creating work in identifying them, attributing their authors, and potentially removing copyvio. I have no opinion on Ice King as a separate article. The text in Ice King appears to come from List of Adventure Time characters. Flatscan (talk) 04:28, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No notable - Regardless of having the multitude of 2006 sources from local papers, which unsurprisingly touted its shiny, new, greatness; it's a simply a video scoreboard that no longer is notably large or clear.
Even worse is the article's title which is declared as a nickname is not referenced anywhere nor does it apply only to the video scoreboard at Texas Stadium. It is a generic term for this years' HUGE new scoreboard somewhere. KelleyCook (talk) 20:37, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge, perhaps without a redirect, to Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, where this information, and its sources, appropriately belongs. Deletion would not be the right result: the scoreboard may not deserve a separate article but it's a significant component of the stadium. Some of the cited articles do appear to use the "Godzillatron" name, but I don't see any particular need for a redirect, as long as we take the necessary steps to maintain the article history for attribution purposes. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:49, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge without redirect per Arxiloxos, and per WP:UNDUE. The stadium article has a lot about its development and renovations, but not a lot about the screen, which the paper sources could probably help with - bearing in mind it should be stripped down so it doesn't give undue weight to that part of the article. I don't see a redirect being necessary, either; chances are the term "Godzillatron" is going to get passed around every few years or so.

This is a supposedly a new martial arts style, but I can only find one school that teaches it. Everything seems to link back to one D.C. school run by the founder. I found no significant independent coverage. One of the article's sources mentions jujutsu, but doesn't specifically mention this style at all.Mdtemp (talk) 20:32, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This martial art is significant because it is being used by National Defense University and being taught to the U.S. Military there. It is part of the curriculum. There are no other schools who can claim this. And yes there is independent coverage in there and the founders bio is used because there is a lot of detail in there. Please make suggestions for improvement instead of flagging for deletion. 69.243.110.100 (talk) 12:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Additional secondary sources have been added to this article. Emery80 (talk) 01:08, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect or merge into Dong Jin Kim The fact that courses in this art are taught does not show notability, regardless of where they're taught. The NDU is for military and civilians and is not concerned with preparing anyone for combat. The mere fact this course is taught does not show notability--note that it's part of an article that also discusses other new offerings at the gym such as a musical cardio class. T+here is nothing that shows this art meets WP:MANOTE or any other notability criteria to merit its own article. Astudent0 (talk) 18:16, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The NDU does prepare military for combat situations, further the Army Old Guard is there at Ft. McNair with them. NDU is a U.S. military university. Unlike other "offerings" students get academic credit for this. Being that my main interest is including a worthy art, the U.S. military, and the NDU, I don't terribly mind it being merged with Kim's, however my preference would be to keep both. Any suggestions on how they could be merged coherently? I think merging Kim into Jigo Tensin-Ryu would be the best if it had to be merged, but having seen comment on the other page some may argue it should be the other way around. Emery80 (talk) 21:43, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The bottom line is that I think there's little to show notability for this art. An art that appears to be taught by one instructor and lacks significant independent coverage doesn't seem notable by WP standards. As for my merging/redirect comment, I think it's much easier to make a case for Kim's notability than for this art which is why I voted the way I did on the two articles. According to the NDU website their mission is to be "focused on advanced joint education, leader development and scholarship", educate "members of the U.S. Armed Forces and select others in order to develop leaders that have the ability to operate and creatively think" and "foster and promote scholarly distinction in its work and its people". With a focus on getting a master's degree, it doesn't sound like hand to hand combat is an integral requirement and lots of schools offer martial arts classes as electives--it hardly shows notability.

- Delete The secondary sources cited in the article either don't address Jigo Tensin-Ryu Jujutsu by name, discusses it in terms of an individual of a larger organization (specifically Mr. Stenson of the US Army as per the current #3 reference) or by the name of its inventor Dong Jin Kim (also up for AfD). The martial art itself doesn't appear to have been around very long (relatively speaking), been the subject of significant coverage, or practiced my multiple notable people and thus fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. --TreyGeek (talk) 04:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- According to WP:MANOTE a martial art is notable enough for an article if it meets certain criteria. I don't see how the subject meets any of those criteria. You suggest it passed item 3 (multiple notable practitioners) however none of those practitioners are directly cited with independent, secondary sources. Your conflict of interest over the subject is perhaps making you unbias in this case.
- As for the images, if you really did take those photos, there is a procedure on Commons to verify you are the owner of those images. You are welcome to go through those procedures.
- I'll also note that Emery has reverted my cleanup of the article. So there are specific web pages listed multiple times in the references section and references are being cited at the end of paragraphs which really don't backup the statements made in those paragraphs. With the merge of Jin Kim's article into this one (without proper attribution) it is a huge mess that I'm not going to attempt to clean up (again) until after the AfD is resolved. --TreyGeek (talk) 14:48, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- TreyGeek, sorry for causing a mess. I was trying to get the photos back as I though they simple been deleted off the article. As for the photos in wikicommons, I do have the right to use them (that's what I meant by mine), however, I uploaded them inccorectly in terms of the permissions. I actually tried re upload them correctly today and put the right permissions on there, but the photos are now blocked. Sorry for accusing you of attack earlier. I was heated up because you erased a photo of my father earlier on wikicommons and it got me heated up. That being said, I appreciate your help in making this article better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emery80 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The AfD discussions are not a vote per say but generally speaking there should be on vote per commenter. Emery - its not helpful to use words like attack instead of fixing the problem. Copyright is a big deal on Wikipedia for very obvious reasons. With respect to the merge in my opinion the art should be merged into the man (ie. the other way around) which is what Astudent0 originally suggested.

- Merge As I stated on the Dong Jin Kim article discussion. I agree with Peter Rehse. Emery, I do NOT agree with you that this article should absorb Dong Jin Kim. It needs to be the other way around. Kim is one of the top Kendoka in the US interms of his experiece and teaching but his martial art is still developing. I do not meen any disrespect by saying that, as I have a lot of respect for DJK and the sport, but uising my almost 30 years of experience in martial arts and although I feel comfortable saying that although Jigo Tensin Ryu has a lot of potential, it is not yet at the level that wiki needs it to be. Please consider merging JTR into DJK, and make a section for JTR.MartialArtsLEO (talk) 17:23, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Emery, I also just cleaned up another article you worked on recently.MartialArtsLEO (talk) 17:36, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Dong Jin Kim. There is no doubt that this martial art does not meet any WP notability criteria (as others have already noted), so it only makes sense to merge into the article on the more notable founder.

Doesn't seem to meet any notability criteria. Almost all of sources are to his biography on his school's web site. As for claims of notability, teaching classes is not notable. Many instructors teach police and military. I don't think his kendo championship is enough to show notability on its own.

This individual created a martial art that is used at the National Defense University and being taught to the U.S. Military there. It is part of the curriculum. He is not listed here because he "he teaches classes." He is listed because he has a National Championship. Kim has only been in the United States as a U.S. Citizen for a few years and his "50 years" should not be taken into consideration. Mdtemp, I know you are a MMA fan but Kendo is important to a lot of people. His winning a National Champion ship, plus the fact he founded a martial arts style is why he is here. Subsequently, the style, Jigo-Tensin-Ryu Jujutsu also has an article. 69.243.110.100 (talk) 12:38, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Very weak Keep Technically, winning a U.S. championship (especially an age related one) may not strictly meet WP:MANOTE, but I can live with that.

Astudent0, I see your point. His students are some of my biggest competitors so I dont want to sound too supportive....lol Maybe Emery can find some more sources for his Kim article. As i said its good for the sport here in the US.
- Delete I don't believe that being the winner of a senior's championship fulfills WP:MANOTE. I am unable to find
much, if any,significant coverage on the subject thus appears to fail WP:GNG. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:43, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- NOTE: I went through the article and cleaned it up. A number of images uploaded to commons appears to be possible copyright violations from the subject's dojo's(?) website (or at the very least were given inaccurate attribution. So, I removed them and tagged them appropriately on Commons). It also seems a lot of the citations given to paragraphs didn't actually have the information being cited as far as I could tell, so those were removed. --TreyGeek (talk)

- Comment Emery, no disrespect, but I agree with Peter Rehse. Merge Jigo Tensin Ryu into Don Jin Kim. The man is more important than the art in terms of wiki. Kim is is one of the top kendōka in terms of his experience and training in the United States where as the martial art is still developing. Not to say it wont get there, but its not "there" yet for the level needed for these articles. As stated already by a few, I would suggest merging Jigo Tensin Ryu into DJK, putting JTR as a section and redirecting JTR to the DJK page. I also agree that the DJK page should be keep.

- Comment: In my book Scholar citations are claims until verified. There are ways to double-count working papers and proceedings (thus a big issue for a computer scientist like this subject), such that the exact count needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Even if accurate, though, the count is too low to override WP:ACADEMIC in my reading; all the more since, as DGG, points out, no single piece stands out.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 09:43, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have examined the GS list, and checked the most cited: only a few of the citations are by his group, but most are by outsiders. That's the usual potential problem. What other problem do you suggest? The list has the usual mix of papers and conferences for the subject. I consider GS valid unless there's something to contest--a number of peer-reviewed papers, (COI: a few but not most of them are by one of my former students), have shown the equal validity of its results with Scopus & WoS, tho GS are usually higher due to its wider scope of inclusion. Anyway, anybody can check them & see if the citations are noticeably affected by some of the non-scholarly work GS does include. DGG ( talk ) 17:35, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I agree that finding sourcing would be difficult given the number of poll results that turn up, but this is a major market and social research and polling company. The extent to which its polls are considered newsworthy (especially in NZ from what I've seen) goes a long way to establishing the firm's notability IMO. Nick-D (talk) 02:45, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Thanks for the comment. I do see that they are a rather large firm in the polling industry and believe that we can combine the multitude of passing mentions to potentially support notability. However, how do we support the content beyond them being who they are? The article is rather large for a company without any references to be found. I think beyond stating who they are with a simple sentence or two there is nothing to support the rest of the content. Thoughts? --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 16:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - at least, as it is for now. Let me throw out a quote here from WP:NFF -"Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." As it stands, this article does not meet that guideline at the moment. Unless any sources are added that show the production is notable and can be well-supported in the article writing, I'll move to delete and just say wait until we get a little closer to release time. That being said, if User:Captain Assassin! can make it happen in the next couple of days before this AFD closes, I might be inclined to change my mind. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:57, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @Red Phoenix , yes according to policies it doesn't meet the guideline at the moment but I can show you hundreds of other articles like this, there are many others which have articles during filming. Leave filming I can show you the articles which are not started filming yet, some are in pre-production and some in planned project. And you know that this guideline works sometimes, I will add reliable sources in a couple of hours and I hope you'll be satisfied then. And you can also see in the sources that the film was set to be shoot in May/Spring, and now it is filming.-- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ( T - C - G ) 02:21, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please provide as source that informs that filming has already begun? All I have found is reports on casting being under weigh. If filming has begun, I could support a keep. If not, I would support an incubation of the article and a redirect of the title to its director. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Well done, it seems that notability has been established after all. Though I'm sure the sourcing is a little shoddy right now, there's enough to meet WP:NFF at this point. Captain Assassin!, however, I'd like to point out something very briefly for you to keep in mind in the future when you have to defend against someone's point of view in an AFD. Make sure to read WP:OCE, because just because there are other articles that are similar doesn't mean that any one article should be protected. What defines my decision in this case with a concern of notability was how it matched the policy on notability for an unreleased film, and I would say that it did not at first, but the additional sources have established that notability. Any of the hundreds of articles that have not established notability in a similar situation, I would nominate for deletion for lack of notability, but not under the presumption that we would never have an article on the film. Sometimes it's simply too soon. Best of luck as you continue to shape up this article, and happy editing. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 02:06, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep As required by WP:NFF we now have confirmation of filming. From May 2, we learn in Women's Wear Daily that Amanda Seyfried "has just left Gallup, N.M., in her rearview mirror as she heads to Santa Fe to film her newest project, a comedy with Seth MacFarlane dubbed A Million Ways to Die in the West" and that the project is expected to take six weeks to complete.[18] Just hours ago it was announced in Daily Mail "the Big Love actress just began filming Seth MacFarlane's new comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West, in New Mexico." (my underscore) Also required by WP:NFF's stating "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." I find the shear wealth of sources about this production's planning and casting meet the primary notability guideline... IE: per guideline, the production is now determinable as notable enough for inclusion and, considering the principals involved, it will only gain more coverage. And yes, the article could benefit from expansion and use of the many available sources, yes... but (@Red Phoenix) as filming has commenced and the project-being-filmed has coverage enough to meet WP:GNG, that addressable issue is a reason to allow it remain and be improved overtime and through regular editing. In improving articles to serve the project and its readers, addressable issues are rarely cause for deletion. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:01, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per the notability guidelines for future films. The threshold is the start of filming, and we have now verified that here. A stand-alone article is thus warranted. Erik (talk | contribs) 12:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Ahmad123987, for what it's worth, an announced release date is not a good indicator of whether or not a film will be made. A studio can announce a release date but fail to get the film into production. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:45, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As noted by others, principal photography is now underway, so that's not an issue. Does it meet general notability guidelines? Given the director and cast, it's pretty certain that it does. Even if it does not at present, it obviously will. Deletion, only to have it re-created in another few months, is an exercise in futility. If this does come out as "delete" I hope the originating editor will be offered a chance to WP:USERFY it so work already done is not lost, and to facilitate bringing it back as an article, which will inevitably be done.

The result was redirect to Vedic Mathematics (book). It seems like the consensus is that the article about the content of the book is not notable and should be redirected. Out of two options - redirecting to the book or to the author - the first one is clearly preferable. On the other hand, there is no consensus on whether the book itself is notable, and given it was never AfDed, I am not going to take any action on the article Vedic Mathematics (book).--Ymblanter (talk) 07:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A random editor may find the book to be cited by secondary sources but a closer inspection reveals that there is only two secondary reliable sources by K.S. Shukla and B.B. Dutta. The rest of the sources added here are all by conflict of interest Hindu nationalists or by primary sources. It seems to me that this book surely falls under Wikipedia:No original research or a walled garden of Wikipedia:No original research. And I am personally very interested in Indian mathematics and I have made contribution on it in wikipedia. But this article in no sense belongs to Indian mathematics but rather a propaganda tool for Indian mathematics. Solomon7968 (talk) 11:46, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:It is interesting to note here that there is another article by the name Vedic Mathematics (book) implying the same book. If consensus emerges to delete this article it will be automatically extended to that article also. The edit history shows that article has got significant fewer edits. So I am reluctant to nominate that for deletion. Solomon7968 (talk) 13:08, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. My concern is not notability but WP:NOR and WP:NPOV and the book fails both. And if you read the review by S. G. Dani (a Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Award winner and a neutral souce) it criticises rather praises the book and terms it a propaganda. Solomon7968 (talk) 13:23, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure I understand your point. The book is not NPOV, but it need not be to deserve an article. The article makes it quite clear that the book's content is not accepted by mathematicians and that is a forgery. That's interesting, encyclopedic information about a book like this. Qwertyus (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The article don't makes it clear. Except the first paragraph the whole material is cited from the pages of the book. If the article has to survive Afd then we have to delete at least 90% of the article. Instead I advise to merge the two articles on the book to the page of the author and make it a redirect. Solomon7968 (talk) 13:52, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- WP:GNG says Multiple sources are generally expected. It doesn't say more than three sources are required. I checked only one of the sources, so I can't say if the other two provide significant coverage or if they are reliable and independent, but the number of sources doesn't seems to be a problem here. Neither is it a problem that the book is shown in a bad light. Our inclusion criterion is a topic's notability, not its quality. — HHHIPPO 16:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I've already suggested this: Talk:Vedic_mathematics_(book)#Should_this_article_be_deleted? The article is a complete mess, and the content is not mathematics. Perhaps the book should be mentioned somewhere else? I cannot understand the suggestions (above) to "merge with Vedic Mathematics (book)... this is surely the page we are proposing to delete. Imaginatorium (talk) 13:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's certainly a mess, but I think some of the content can be saved, esp. the critical reviews. The fact that a book contains nonsense is no reason not to give it a Wikipedia page, as long as its contents are not presented as fact. I'm proposing to radically trim the article down. The "mathematical" part of the article should probably go.

- Comment – Large portions of the article are not clear at all. For example, for the "Method 1: example: using multiplication to calculate 1/19" section, I'm at a complete loss to understand what the numeric manipulations are doing (and I have a degree in Math). Also, comments/asides such as "Run this on your favorite calculator and check the result!" make the article look unencyclopedic. — Loadmaster (talk) 16:25, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and move back to the original title. This article is not about the book (which by the way, is also notable). It's about a system of calculation (there is a separate article on the book) The article was moved from Bharati Krishna Tirtha's Vedic mathematics to the current title by a user without any discussion. There are truckloads of books from the Vedic Math "experts" (e.g. [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] etc.) There are several reliable sources that discuss the system and the controversy surrounding it (e.g. [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33] etc.) The claim of the system being "Vedic" is fraudulent and it's more of a collection of arithmetic techniques than anything else. But still, it's notable, if only as a fad or a controversy. utcursch | talk 17:21, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Having truckload of reference does not make anything suitable for wikipedia. My concern is secondary reliable source. And your point that it is not a book is wrong. The title clearly suggests that it is the article of the book. Again my concern is not notability but secondary reliable source. If this article by chance any how survives Afd I am going it to strip it off all its material which is of primary source. Solomon7968 (talk) 17:40, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "The title clearly suggests that it is the article of the book" - please read my comment again - the article was originally titled Bharati Krishna Tirtha's Vedic mathematics - it was moved to current title without any discussion.
- As for your deletion nom, like User:Qwertyus above, I don't understand the point that you're trying to make. Maybe you're trying to say one of these two things:
- The book itself is not notable because it's based on fraudulent claim / original research
- The article should be deleted because it contains unsourced/OR content
- In either case, the article should not be deleted:
- That's not the definition of notability. Truckload of reference means presence of secondary reliable sources: there are at least a dozen books whose sole purpose is to discuss this topic (linked above, ignoring the original book written by Tirthaji). There are hundreds of articles in reliable sources which discuss the topic (some of them are linked in my above comment). These qualify as secondary sources. For the same reason we have an article on The Weight-Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About - the claims in that book might be wrong, but the book is still notable.
- AfD is not meant for discussing cleanup issues. If you belive an article is NPOV, tag it with {{npov}}. If you believe an article is OR, tag it with {{original research}}. utcursch | talk 18:15, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Let the debate complete and if the article survives Afd then I will start work on it. Now I am busy with some other articles on wikipedia. To make it NPOV the article have to be stripped off for at least 90% of its total volume. Solomon7968 (talk) 18:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Again I see that you are from India. I am also from India. So please do not associate any nationalism with it. The long tradition of Indian mathematics will go down if this kind of non sense gets association of nationalism from Indians. Solomon7968 (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What? My keep vote has nothing to do with "nationalism". I openly called the system fraudulent and a fad in my comment above. A concern about "the long tradition of Indian mathematics" going down due to "non sense" is not a good reason to insist on the deletion of an article. Both the book and the system are notable as shown by the links in my first comment, and that's why the article should be kept. The good and bad things about the system or the book should be discussed in the article. At worst, the two articles should be merged. utcursch | talk 18:15, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Like the person above who tried to struggle through one of the explanations ("Method 1") I have a degree in maths, and I can say with confidence that there is nothing here of mathematical interest. But I also see that like the slimming books, some things never go away. Of this page (the "lowercase" Vm), the first 10% is mention of the controversy (fair enough), the last 20% is references (good, I suppose), but the 70% in the middle is confused attempts to describe the meaning of the 19 items in the "List of 16 sutras". At the very least, if any of this is to stay, someone should volunteer to clean it up such that a person with mathematical expertise can confirm that the terminology is normal, all the sanskrit words are glossed properly, and so on, in other words so that the article makes sense. I think the "truckloads" argument is very feeble: a glance at the references given suggests that they are all vanity publications -- none of the reviews, where there are any, read like mathematically informed views. Imaginatorium (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As I stated above, I agree that the so-called Vedic Maths is "more of a collection of arithmetic techniques" than mathematics. But that's not the point. The point is that the topic is notable - it doesn't matter if it's fraudulently called "Vedic" or "Maths". There are plenty of sources that are not vanity publications - some of the books are published by established houses such as Jaico and Motilal Banarsidass. A search for "Vedic maths" on Google Books/Scholar/News archives easily establishes notability of the topic (nearly all the results are about this system, not the mathematics in the Vedic period). Saying that this article should be deleted because it's not real mathematics is like saying that the article on Scientology should be deleted because Scientology is a scam. If an article contains NPOV/OR content, it should be cleaned-up, not deleted. That's not what AfDs are for. utcursch | talk 02:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your comment is quite reasonable. But the point here is that the 70% of the page that is neither mention of the controversy (which could (better?) be in the other article on the book), nor references, consists of a total jumble: at the very least, a claim that there are 16 "sutras" ought to be followed by 16 items, not 19. So there really is no coherent description of the "system" (such as it is) at all. Therefore, deleting it would not lose anything of value, and if someone later managed to write a coherent description of the system the page could be created anew. Any bits of this page that seem to have any value could be simply merged into the other article about the book. After all, one of the references here is a protest by Indian mathematicians that this is neither "Vedic" nor "mathematics", so it really does not deserve to have a WP article by that name. It is basically just the content of the book. Imaginatorium (talk) 13:45, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am of the opinion to merge the total content of this article to Vedic Mathematics (book) which is about the real book and make the book article a valid stub and deleting the article which is discussed here. Solomon7968 (talk) 13:54, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

([34], [35]) This might be a viable enough redirect, although I'd really like to have more information about this before we add that much to the main article.

Although ten-pin bowling is not an obscure sport, WP does not appear to have any specific notability guidelines built by consensus, as do most other major sports. Therefore, Gales' best finish of 9th in the 2009 world masters ranking is not an automatic qualifier for notability.

- Delete. Very improperly sourced; in fact, what exactly is being cited isn't clear. And I'm talking about the English text in the sources. No way this can pass WP:GNG. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:11, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. From the current article - half in Hindi(?) and the rest very poorly translated - it's pretty much impossible to come to any judgement at all. And the Google results are all over the place - there's no way that more than a smallish minority of them are going to be relevant, but some just might be. However, I notice that, while the current article is very new (it was apparently created less than 12 hours before being brought to AfD), an article with this title (and, by the look of the discussion, on the same topic) was apparently kept at AfD in 2007 - but then PRODded in 2010, and deleted despite the rules about not PRODding articles previously sent to AfD. It would almost certainly be easier to make a judgement this time round if we could see that article and its history - while that article was probably not very good, it was almost certainly better than this one, and might give enough of a clue on what to look for in the GHits when trying to decide if there is the possibility of an article here.

I've had a look at the old content from January 2010, and while it was much better intelligible than the current translation, it is about half as long and consists mainly of unexplained names of other sub-castes and ethnic groups or place names.

- Keep Came to this conclusion after some thought. While normally I'd agree that the subject has not achieved the level of notability that we like to see, I've found that there are a couple of articles on Wikipedia where he is a reference for that article--and by looking around, I believe that there is potential for more of the same. It then stands to reason (at least for me) that a stub article about the author is a "good" thing as it provides details about the sources of other articles. WP:ANYBIO and WP:AUTHOR are guidelines not policy (good ones at that) but I think there is a reason to ignore them in this case.

- Comment I'm struggling to find sources. He's not in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. He's not in Grove Art Online. There's nowt in The Times. This smells very hoaxy, no sources and the name Sean doesn't really fit with the alleged date of birth (1802). There's nothing in the birth records in www.findmypast.co.uk (although this could be for various other reasons, including if he was born say in Ireland rather than Yorkshire, or they've transcribed his name wrong). There was however a Sean Michael Walsh born 1988 in Halifax, and another born 1989 in Keighley (Keith-lee, which is near Haworth, where the Bronte family lived), my gut feeling is it's one of those who's taken his name or his friend's name and wrote this. What's the record now for Wikipedia hoaxes? Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:57, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete both this article and The Moorlands of Halifax. Possibly a hoax, but the important thing is that sources appear to be entirely lacking, so that the articles fail WP:V. An additional suspicious aspect is that the Dean Clough galleries in Halifax appear to collect only contemporary art; I can find no mention of any 19th-century works held there. Unless someone can come up with sourcing for the person or painting that isn't dependent on our articles, there's no recourse but to delete them. Deor (talk) 14:37, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep although it plainly needs a bit of work and much better sourcing. This club is unusual in fielding teams in four Gaelic sports, and although a relatively young club it has provided inter-county players. Brocach (talk) 00:02, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have rewritten, reformatted and greatly expanded the article since its AfD nomination, to date relying mainly on GAA sources but on the lookout for additional refs. The account of its long wrangle with the hostile local council (greatly condensed and neutralised from that given in the club's website) should be enough on its own to establish notability.

Also strongly in favor of keeping this article. It clearly needs to be written better, but it deserves it place as well as any other GAA club.

The result was NO CONSENSUS. Although the majority of participants favoured "redirect", I feel this one is "no consensus" for the following reasons. The Devil's Advocate highlighted a number of sources that might confer notability beyond WP:BLP1E. There might have been a clearer case for "keep" if some of these were in the article so that it is was clear what aspect of the subject's claimed notability could be verified. Sadly they are not, the only two references in the article outside the section on the hunting accident have titles that make it clear that they are actually about the hunting accident and other information is incidental. Counter-arguments to TDA's proffered sources concentrated mostly on the Washington Post article and I find that their arguments pretty much destroy the validity of this source as a means of establishing notability beyond BLP1E. Also TLD's claim that there is frequent state-wide coverage of the subject was not supported by providing any references. However, TLD did provide two book sources. The delete camp did not really counter these, concentrating on the Washington Post article, but it also has to be said that the keep camp did not make as much of them as they could either. The Trials of Eroy Brown has limited preview in gbooks, but Texas Tough: The Rise of America's Prison Empire does not. However, the latter book seems to have significantly more coverage than the first and is on a more directly relevant subject. Texas Tough is, however, previewable at Amazon. The contents of these two books, together with the failure of the delete camp to provide any credible counter-argument to them, has swung me round to "no consensus".

The last time around, people claimed that there was other coverage beyond his participation in a hunting accident. The article doesn't testify to this, but to the opposite: every citation, without exception, is to an article referring to the accident. My reading of the article text is that his accomplishments are routine and typical of civil servants whom we would not ordinarily consider notable. Therefore WP:BLP1E applies and he should only see mention in Dick Cheney hunting incident. Mangoe (talk) 01:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Ugh, I would have preferred that this not be restored with this version, because the guy actually was of some interest before the Vice President shot him in the face. There is some significant coverage pre-shooting, with the overwhelming majority being sources that are behind paywalls. Subsequent to the shooting there have been significant mentions in books that are not about the shooting incident and only one of them mentions it. Additionally, he did an in-depth interview with the Washington Post four years after the event with a large portion talking about him in general.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 05:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not seeing this. The oldest version of the article says, in its entirety, "Harry Whittington is an Austin, Texas-based attorney who was accidentally shot by United States Vice-President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident on February 12, 2006." It was started, as anyone could have guessed, on February 12, 2006. My impression is that, while there is some coverage of him, it is largely local in impact and typical of what you might see for a high-but-not-top ranking layer/politico; it tends to read not "here's this interesting guy, who by the way got shot by Cheney," but rather "we would like people to think of this guy as something beyond the victim of an accident." And the way I see most people tending to read the article is "texas lawyer, political guy—oh yeah! He's that guy that Dick Cheney shot!" Mangoe (talk) 12:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Frequent state-wide coverage is more than enough to establish notability independent of him being shot in the face. I would be sympathetic to the "only local coverage" comment if "local" meant a specific small community, maybe even a specific large city, but to suggest that coverage in multiple major news outlets across a state is "local" coverage insufficient to establish notability is absurd.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 15:29, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not seeing this. The oldest version of the article says, in its entirety, "Harry Whittington is an Austin, Texas-based attorney who was accidentally shot by United States Vice-President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident on February 12, 2006." It was started, as anyone could have guessed, on February 12, 2006. My impression is that, while there is some coverage of him, it is largely local in impact and typical of what you might see for a high-but-not-top ranking layer/politico; it tends to read not "here's this interesting guy, who by the way got shot by Cheney," but rather "we would like people to think of this guy as something beyond the victim of an accident."

- Redirect to Dick Cheney hunting incident. Not notable except for that incident....William 11:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment on possible outcomes: This fellow is the third Harry Whittington we talk about (see Harry Whittington (disambiguation)) so I don't see redirection to the incident as an outcome. If the article is not kept, Harry Whittington will need to redirect to or be replaced by the current disambiguation page, which will then link to the hunting accident article. If it is kept, I think there is still a strong argument for moving him to Harry Whittington (politician) and moving the current disambiguation page to the unqualified name. Even if he's the best known of the three, I would argue that his level of accomplishment is comparable to if not exceeded by the others. Mangoe (talk) 12:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I should remind people that BLP1E applies to low profile individuals. He did an interview with the Washington Post years after the incident, so clearly he is not maintaining a low-profile. Even if the one event aspect of BLP1E applied, which it really does not, that would still not be a valid rationale for deletion.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 15:29, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- To respond to your comment above, the interview blatantly disproves any notion that BLP1E applies, even if we somehow ignored all the pre-event coverage of him as a state official or post-event coverage that has nothing to do with the event. BLP1E only applies to low-profile individuals and choosing to do an interview with the Washington Post years after the event is most definitely not indicative of someone seeking to be low-profile. Pursuit of high-level state positions is also indicative of him not being a low-profile individual.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 14:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- To the degree I even buy into the way the guideline tries to make a distinction, it seems obvious to me that a "whatever happened to BLP1E subject" interview doesn't turn someone into a high-profile figure. At any rate most of the article is about the accident and his recovery from it; a fairly small section is devoted to the property condemnation case, but surely such condemnation struggles are commonplace. The title suggests a certain wistfulness about not being a better known figure. Mangoe (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, the reason the interview is there is because he was the guy who was shot. If someone else was shot they would have interviewed them. IRWolfie- (talk) 15:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Look at the sources I provided and it is clear he is notable for more than being shot in the face. See WP:POLITICIAN. However, the reason BLP1E talks about a low profile is because of a consideration that someone who is not seeking out the attention given to him or her by reliable sources doesn't wish to be notable and thus should not be considered notable just for a connection to a single event. Doing an interview with a major national press outlet four years after the event, during a new administration, is hardly consistent with someone wishing to maintain a low profile. The simple reality is that BLP1E doesn't apply because he is notable for more than just one event given his prior career in government and hasn't maintained a low-profile given that he did an interview with a major national press outlet four years after the event.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 22:26, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable international relations article. WP:PROD declined by author (who appears to be a WP:SPA, suspiciously reminding me of User:Groubani) without a single word, and while at it they removed a paragraph (??). [41] There's no potential, because the two countries are separated by half the globe yet comparatively small - should something extraordinary actually appear in real life, an article can be created to describe it, but until then, a standalone article is pointless, as the topic is covered well enough by the existence of foreign relations articles of the two countries. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Hardly significantly - it's just more coverage of the same trivial relationship. Subministerial meetings, platitudes about "[aiming] to pave the way for greater people-to-people exchanges" and a snotty Večernji list editoral about how people in Croatia are dismissive of those visits - talk about reliable sources... --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:21, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Foreign relations of the Philippines; subject appears to have received some passing mention in reliable sources, but none of it appears to be significant, so it can be easily argued that the subject is not notable per WP:GNG. That being said this article can bee seen as a sub-article of, and clearly within the scope of Foreign relations of the Philippines; therefore a redirect to that article would be appropriate, also see WP:CHEAP.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think that both the Philstar and the Inquirer articles both satisfy WP:SIGCOV in that the foreign relationship is the main topic of both sources, and they have sufficient detail to put together a simple article covering most aspects of the relationship. I have mostly rewritten the article with a couple of extra sources. I think the length is now about right for the current extent of the relationship, but it seems too much to redirect into the meta-articles (since the Philippines one is already longer than is reader-friendly). Oh, and in reply to Libstar, the article now lists all 5 agreements, not 2. --99of9 (talk) 10:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- PhilStar article is a single-page Xinhua report on a press release from the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Inquirer article is a report to the home office by the Ambassador at the Philippine Embassy in Vienna. Please read WP:GNG in full, not just the paragraph about the strict definition of 'significant coverage'. The affiliation of these sources with the subject is egregious. It's literally the foreign affairs people's job to make these kinds of reports. That the wire agencies and the local press relay them is hardly a stellar marker of notability.
- The other stuff you added is just more fodder. That Jadranska vrata is now owned by a ICTSI is not a sign of bilateral relations in and of itself, it's just a sign of global capitalism. If for example there was an article somewhere that explained how the Croatian state expressly influenced Luka Rijeka (which it largely owns) to sell the cargo terminal to the Filipinos in order to improve bilateral relations, you'd have a case. Now you just have some improper synthesis.
- And don't even get me started on the international trade of four million dollars. Seriously, that's more appropriate for a Dr. Evil joke than for an encyclopedic entry. If it even needs to be said, 4 million USD is something like 0.00005% of the Croatian GDP or 0.0003% of the Croatian state budget.
- Overall, I need to stress that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My mention of sigcov only was in direct response to RightCowLeftCoast, who brought it up as his specific rationale for failing GNG. I will have a look into the affiliations, but on the face of it they look secondary to me. Your GDP figures are wrong by two orders of magnitude, but that's not really the point, the point is that cited trade data is *always* an important part of bilateral relations articles, even if the figure was $0. I did not argue that the relationship was notable based on the size of their trade, I just included additional encyclopedic information in the article. If it is eventually merged, that data should go with it. Regarding requiring Government intervention in investment decisions, I do not think that "X-Y relations" is limited to "X-Y Governmental relations". In my opinion direct foreign investment in a country's biggest port operation is a bilateral interaction. --99of9 (talk) 09:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The Philippine ambassador Lourdes Yparraguirre was present at the signing: "a major boost to enhancing bilateral relations between the vibrant economies". evidently she agrees with me. --99of9 (talk) 10:23, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I guess I forgot to multiply the result of that division by 100 to get percentages. The thing is, for all of these dubiously synthesized claims, an actual reliable secondary source would be necessary to make sure they're appropriate. Any ambassador is entirely partial to their country's foreign relations. Clearly there's some obvious relation between foreign policy and the port contract, but OTOH the ambassador had to fly in from another country for that photo-op. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Isn't she lucky then that WP:GNG has no prohibition against air flight? WP:SYNTH is summarized by "do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C". Please can you show where you think that is done in the article, and I will amend it. I don't see a problem with secondary sources using press releases as their primary source, that is often how news is first obtained. Wire agencies employ their own independent writers and fact checkers.

- Once again, a bland reprint of a press release, with a handful of sentences tacked on, does not constitute a reliable secondary source that should be cited by an encyclopedia, even on the specific matter about which the press release / article is reporting, let alone the more generic matter. Yes, I know this happened quite recently, and it's hard to expect a book to have been written that covers it.

- Keep - A weakish start of an article, but unquestionably an encyclopedic topic, no matter what one thinks about "X-Y Relations" articles. Information here springs from multiple independently published sources. The nominator additionally incorrectly describes this piece as "original research" elsewhere above. ALL writing appearing on Wikipedia is research, in that it features finite content which includes some facts but not others; and its ideas and physical content may not be directly lifted from other writers, so it is original. Wikipedia's ill-named prohibition of so-called "original research" is actually a ban on novel scientific theories and crackpot interpretive historical essays — not on finding an encyclopedic subject, selecting sources, arranging information, and writing about it coherently and originally. Carrite (talk) 15:30, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's an old Jimmy Wales quote that explains the thinking behind the concept of NOR: "The phrase ['original research'] originated primarily as a practical means to deal with physics cranks, of which of course there are a number on the web. The basic concept is as follows: it can be quite difficult for us to make any valid judgment as to whether a particular thing is true or not. It isn't appropriate for us to try to determine whether someone's novel theory of physics is valid; we aren't really equipped to do that. But what we can do is check whether or not it actually has been published in reputable journals or by reputable publishers. So it's quite convenient to avoid judging the credibility of things by simply sticking to things that have been judged credible by people much better equipped to decide. The exact same principle will hold true for history..." — Jimmy Wales, WikiEN-l, December 3, 2004. /////// Carrite (talk) 15:37, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - The nominator's chief objection to the piece rests upon not notability but rather factual accuracy, which is an editing matter. The LTTE is vaguely similar to the old Irish Republican Army, as I understand the situation, in that it is a paramilitary, nationalist, political separatist organization. As an underground organization, it unquestionably would have an "aboveground" arm, much in the way that Sinn Fein was the "legal" political arm of the underground IRA or the Workers Party of America was the "legal" political arm of the underground Communist Party of America in the early 1920s. This is, in short, an encyclopedic topic and a GNG pass, as demonstrated in the footnotes. Now, are there problems with the piece? Factual errors? I leave that to those with specialized understanding in Sri Lankan politics to suss out and sort out. But for our purposes here, this is an article that should be kept.

While Channel 4 affiliation was added by the above mentioned users, BTF, GTF and TGTE affiliations are debatable—Sri Lankan government maintaing that they are LTTE affiliates and the groups trying to disassociate themselves from the LTTE. That's why these groups have been classified under the heading "Sri Lankan Government allegations". However, LTTE's past affiliates far outnumber those debated ones, and thus, this article needs to be kept. ASTRONOMYINERTIA (TALK) 16:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- :My apologies If I was not clear.There are accusations made by Sri Lanka that Channel 4's documentaries Sri Lanka's Killing Fields,Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished which they insist are false ,paid for and made solely to tarnish the image of Sri Lanka this can be added in the Controversy section of the documentry pages or even to the Channel 4 page if consensus can be found.Similarly the Sri Lankan governments accusations against British Tamils Forum.Global Tamil Forum ,Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam can added to there respective pages but to club them all and say they are affiliated to the LTTE implies that are working together.Channel 4 is a British Public broadcaster to say they are affiliated to the LTTE is totally wrong libelous though I agree there was a controversy over the documentaries in Sri Lanka .This also may wrongly implies that these organizations are working together with the LTTE which is not the case and a clear violation of WP:Redflag this is a serious accusation which requires WP:RS sources to state that are affilated .These are merely the Sri Lankan government accusations they are legal organization based abroad facing no legal action they at best need to confined to the respective pages if consensus is found.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for your comments above. The title affiliates means [42] [43] subordinate, subsidiary, employee,branch , member or closely working together with the LTTE which is a banned organization. Not even one WP:RS source says they are affiliated to the LTTE it merely at best states the allegations or controversy with which they were associated it is WP:OR ,lacks WP:RS sources and WP:Redflag to club all of them together and say they are affiliates to the LTTE. M. Karunanidhi is an Indian politican and the LTTE issue is mentioned in the Controversy section of his article but for that to say he is affiliate or working with the LTTE as the title implies is a violation of WP:BLP as it a very serious allegation.Almost the subjects mentioned here have there own articles and at best they can mentioned in the LTTE page or in the respective pages.This has been discussed here in the RS board such serious allegations require WP:RS sources to say they are a affiliate to the LTTE. Sinn Féin is the Legal arm of the IRA it is mentioned in the Sinn Féin or IRA pages and same is the case with Workers Party of America and the Communist Party of America there is no third page Affiliates to the IRA and here association itself is in dispute and lacks WP:RS sources.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 02:10, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the facts mentioned could be merged with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. This article qualifies WP:OR, WP:Redflag and WP:Synthesis. There are 4 sources - Asian Tribune, Lankaweb, Defence.lk and Sunday Observer which say they are front organizations of the LTTE, but none of them meet WP:RS.

- Comment
- Cossde's constant reverts of the War Crime section on Sri Lanka Armed Forces and his vote to "Keep" the article without much rationale prompted me to post this comment.
- "Affiliates to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam" was created with the Sole Purpose of silencing those who raise charges on War Crime against the Sri Lankan State. This article is heavily built up by the questionable sources which are either belong to the Sri Lankan Government/Military directly or backed by them.
- Please note "Rohan Gunaratna" is a Sinhalese national and his number of articles are published in the websites of Sri Lanka's Defense Ministry. Rohan Gunaratna's facts are quoted in three different places in the article.
- Please note "Waduge, Shenali" also a Sinhalese national and her article is published on the Pro-Government media "Asia Tribune". Her facts are quoted in three different places in the article.
- Please note again "Supporters are NOT Affiliates"; almost the entire Tamil Community was the Supporter of the Main Cause of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and indirectly the entire Tamil Community is the supporter of the LTTE. But they are not affiliates since they haven't endorsed or participated or get involved the tactics which LTTE used to achieve the common goal.
- The existence of this article will only support Sri Lankan Government to easily manipulate against it charges on War Crime by pointing each and every one/institution that they are Affiliates of the LTTE when they raise their voice against the atrocities of the Sri Lankan Government.HudsonBreeze (talk) 04:34, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - @HudsonBreeze. Again, the objection is based on the neutrality of content (or lack thereof) rather than the matter of notability of the subject at hand. I don't have any doubt either that this is a contentious matter or that there are problems with the piece the way that it currently stands.

- Comment This artice clearly disparages the subject per WP:Libel It is Wikipedia policy to delete libelous material when it has been identified.It should noted here that Canadian Tamil Congress one of the those mentioned as a affiliate of the LTTE has filed a defamation case against Rohan Gunaratna author of some of the sources in this article for the alleged comment in a Lakbima News interview that LTTE is operating in Canada under the name of Canadian Tamil Congress, which is the main LTTE front Organization in Canada. Canadian Tamil Congress sues critic for libel:Toronto Star and Canadian Tamil Congress Statement and here Lawsuit alleges defamation of Canadian Tamil Congress by Rohan Gunaratna. This article also mentions that same that they affiliates of the LTTE.Shenali Waduge a freelancer who has written both in Lankaweb and Asian Tribune Ref 10 and 13 and has also written Channel 4 paid to tarnish Sri Lanka and other sources are Sri Lankan government newspapers.Please this article clearly needs to well sourced with Reliable Sources if one is say something as controversial as saying that a legal organization abroad is a affiliate or front of a banned organization when the issue gone to court and organizations concerned have denied it.This article clearly lacks WP:RS sources and disparages the subjects it needs to be deleted.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:49, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing suggests any particular notability for this individual. Certainly not the sources now present: not facebook, not YouTube, not the tabloids Click! and Libertatea. Where reliable press outlets have spoken of him, it appears to be entirely in the context of routine mentions, like this one. As for the medal he reportedly won, even if we do contemplate citing a tabloid for that, nothing indicates it may have been one of the more noteworthy orders, decorations, and medals of Romania. - Biruitorul Talk 15:20, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- In contrast, please compare the growing number of article marked "done+cites added" at WP:WikiProject Japan/Historical people. --Ansei (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Comment -- This may require more research. There is an entry on the Tomono clan in the Sekai hyakka daijiten published by Nichigai Associates, a major reference book publisher, a summary of which is available here. Instead of relying on internet sources to judge notability, a check of published reference sources may be in order. Michitaro (talk) 23:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Questions: Does this have something to do with Wikipedia:Inherent notability? Is it reasonable to decide that all historical Japanese clans are good article subjects when we can point to one published source, any reliable source support? --Ansei (talk) 12:51, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I personally am not making an argument about inherent notability. I am merely saying that I did find a reference in a well-known and respected encyclopedia, which itself had to pick subjects on the basis of notability. That implies that the editors had other sources they used both as a guide to notability and a source of information. The problem with medieval topics is that good historical sources are not always to be found on the net. We might have to find those sources in paper printed publications, most likely Japanese one.

- Comment -- I have added as much information and as many sources as I could find for the article on the internet; I also agree with Michitaro's suggestion regarding checking published sources.
I'll leave it to others to decide whether to remove the page or not.On second thoughts, given the lack of consensus on whether to delete the page (it's also been relisted), I may have to put in my own opinion at some point. Cliff12345 (talk) 18:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment -- Is it helpful to move the discussion towards issues of WP:Inherent Notability? I wonder if there might be consensus support for this sentence:
- All historical Japanese clans are good articles when there is any reliable source support?
- If yes, I will have no difficulty accepting what the group decides. The issue is made black-and-white. If no, I don't think I understand the implied argument well enough.
In our discussion about this specific article, I wonder about a related issue. In the same way that we do not accept ja:Wikipedia as a reliable source, I think we cannot credit Samurai-Archives.com as valid without something more. Is this not the current consensus opinion? --Ansei (talk) 13:19, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This is an answer to the question posted here and above.
- I was under the impression that (unlike ja:Wikipedia or the samurai archives wiki) the samurai archives is a website written by someone knowledgeable in the field, and so could count as a reliable source. Am I mistaken and is [45] actually just another unreliable wiki? Cliff12345 (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I wasn't aware of WP:Inherent Notability until just now, it seems like an interesting idea, and seems like it might be applicable here, given that many other large groups of people, such as villages, have inherent notability. Cliff12345 (talk) 18:55, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As Michitaro opines, the Sekai Hyakka Daijiten is a respected and reliable source, and can be used to establish notability. I would also support the idea that historically-established Japanese clans are just as inherently notable as Native American tribes (which are basically just clans by another name). While Samurai Archives makes itself out to be a reliable source, I wouldn't use it as a source to establish notability. Instead, it could be used as a good starting point if there are sources indicated in the articles there. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If (as Nihonjoe says) there are articles on old tribes in other countries, it makes sense that there should be articles for the "tribes" in Japan too. Cliff12345 (talk) 13:40, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would not support the claim that any historical Japanese clan is notable. They can greatly vary in terms of size, geographical scope, longevity, and influence. Some only existed for a century or two in a couple of villages. The comparison with Native American tribes is problematic because these are not ethnic or linguistic entities, which is often the case with tribes, but familial ones. Not every family gets a Wikipedia article. I think they should be taken case by case. Michitaro (talk) 01:53, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I would not support that either, and that's not what I was saying. What I'm saying is that any historically established clan should be considered notable, but we would definitely need reliable sources showing that it was historically established. We always have to have at least a couple reliable sources showing any topic actually exists before we can have an article which will stay here without fear of being deleted. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd like to clarify what I was saying above, I meant that we would still need sources for any clan added to Wikipedia (we wouldn't even be able to prove to Wikipedia that the clan ever existed without some sort of source), once there are sources, I would consider the clan notable enough for Wikipedia.

- Keep I went to the library and found another reference, this from Heibonsha's Nihonshi daijiten. I have added it to the article. I believe this is sufficient to prove notability. Michitaro (talk) 19:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:ORG. nothing in gnews nor my search of BBC.

- So far the argument is that the organization is not notable enough. The article also violates the organization's copyright (and no, it's not simple to transfer that copyright).

- Correct. See WP:42, which talks about notability.

- Keep The term "item number" is, in fact, defined in the article with a link to the term's Wiki page. It appears to be relatively prevalent and well-defined, lending an ability to have a well-defined accompanying list. Your second comment is invalid; just because the article is a list doesn't mean it doesn't belong on the site. Wikipedia has quite a lot of lists. Deadbeef 01:14, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: I'm finding some trivial mentions, but not much in the way of in-depth coverage so far. Veryzak, the thing about shooting famous people is that while it's not necessarily something that everyone can do, notability isn't really inherited by him having photographed multiple famous people. He has to have some coverage outside of that, which I'm not really seeing. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Veryzak, you should tell Watermann to arrange somehow to have an article written about his life and career, published in a big magazine such as Rolling Stone, or a news magazine, or a big newspaper. Rather than simply listing his works or saying he was present at a certain event, the article should describe his origins, the way he got into photography, who were his influences, who he influenced in turn; stuff like that.
