Currency converter

Poorly-sourced article about currency converter software that seems to fail WP:GNG. The article is built entirely upon original research and apparently serves as a coatrack for adding spam links. I am unable to find any sources that discuss currency converter software as a cohesive topic. There are many books that describe how to code a currency converter, but nothing that covers the subject from an encyclopedic standpoint. - MrX 14:45, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete- simply finding a bunch of google hits that have the words "currency" and "conversion" in them does not help to make an article. I've done some looking around, and I agree with the nominator that there is nothing with which to build a coherent article. The current content is a sourceless essay serving as a coatrack for all kinds of spammy links, so it should be deleted. Reyk YO! 19:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article is a poorly referenced stub, but the topic is likely notable. Here's a reliable source: a short but reliable entry in the A & C Black Publishers Ltd (1 January 2009).

  • Delete Just because there is such a thing as software which calculates currency conversion does not mean it's notable. We have no article on the calculator utilities that come with every OS and smartphone. Why? Because there's no secondary coverage. In order to keep this article, it would need to be an article on the general idea of currency conversion software (not just the idea of currency exchange), and to do that, we'd need secondary sources.

Jake Shade

Jake Shade (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not pass WP:POLITICIAN. Local (county) level politicians are not usually considered notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. While there an exception for local politicians who have "received significant press coverage", I don't think the press coverage for Mr. Shade can be considered significant. It's more the sort of local press coverage that any county level politician might receive. He certainly has not received coverage in national or international level media. Essentially, I am not seeing anything that makes the subject stand out from the thousands of other county level politicians that are out there, except possibly his age. The article does make an attempt to establish notability by noting that he "is currently the youngest elected official in the state of Maryland", however that is a temporary claim to fame (give it a few years, and he will no longer be the youngest). It would be different if he were notable for being the youngest ever to have been elected, but I can not find sources to support such a claim. Blueboar (talk) 15:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Burroughs was 18 when elected to a school board position in Prince George's County, Md., but this is a school board position not a position of great importance, such as a County Councilman and Legislative Director for two of Maryland's House Ways and Means Committee Delegates, as in the case of Jake Shade. It's short-sighted to say te least that Mr. Shade isn't notable enough in the state.

Thetruthspeaker14 (talk) 15:49, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to say it, but County Councilman isn't a position of "great importance" either ... and "Legislative Director" is a staff position, it's not an elected one. Mr. Shade seems to be a promising and ambitious young politician, who will probably go on to hold a notable office at some point in the future. But I question whether his career has reached that point YET. Blueboar (talk) 12:26, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I generally agree with Blueboar, the article may not clearly pass Politician. In my opinion, it also does not clearly fail either. Truthspeaker14 also brings about a point that Wikipedia has room for similar articles. In my opinion, the subject has received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. For these reasons, I am voting keep. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 16:04, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this one is not cut and dried... which is why we need to discuss it here. Councilman Shade has certainly has gained press coverage... but that coverage is all in relatively local level media. I suppose the question we have to decide here is whether the local level coverage qualifies as being significant enough, or not. My reading of the relevant guidelines is that we would need something more.
Oh... and as for the fact that the Edward Burroughs (elected official) article exists ... WP:OTHERSTUFF has never been a good argument at AfD... Having looked at that article, I question whether its subject is notable enough... and I may nominate that article for deletion as well. Blueboar (talk) 17:48, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is why you always have to judge these things on a subject by subject basis, and can not play the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS game. WP:POLITICIAN says that while most county level politicians are not considered notable enough, there are exceptions to that generalized rule. Regarding the two people Billy mentions (Michael D. Antonovich and Corey Stewart (politician))... not only is there is more than local press coverage for each of them... they both have been candidates for State wide office (Lt. Gov.) These factors make a difference... and separate notable subjects like Antonovitch and Stewart from purely local politicians like Mr. Shade. Blueboar (talk) 17:43, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to São Bento, Paraíba. Two mere short sentences do not make up an article, it's not even worth a stub. São Bento, Paraíba is still short and can easily absorb all information contained in the nominated article - which is close to nothing at all. Victão Lopes Fala! 02:14, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even though I nominated it for deletion, at the time I nominated it, it did not have sufficient context to clearly show what exactly the village was. But now, I believe it is suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia after edits. smileguy91Need to talk? 15:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This place doesn't seem to exist. There are no sources, and it's not listed as either a "locale" or "populated place" in GNIS. GNIS lists "La Jolla Village Square Shopping Center", but that's a shopping center, and seems to be covered by the article La Jolla Village, San Diego. If this is "the center of La Jolla", then it should be included on the La Jolla article. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:19, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (Neutral for now, pending review of Arxiloxos' new information) Although locals, especially long-established La Jollans, do use the term "the Village" to refer to the downtown center area of La Jolla, I could not find any Reliable Source use of the term. Not even Realtors seem to use it much. I couldn't even find a good definition of exactly where "the Village" is; the photo in this article is of La Jolla in general, with (I think) La Jolla Cove in the foreground. I added one reference, but it is not from a Reliable Source. In a Google search, I find that even Reliable Sources sometimes confuse "the Village of La Jolla" with "La Jolla Village," which is a well defined separate area, several miles away and "up the hill" from the coastal "Village". There is already an entry about the "Village" in the La Jolla article, but I don't think a redirect would be helpful. --MelanieN (talk) 03:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
According the City of San Diego Planning Department: "'The Village' includes the area within the boundary of Prospect Street, Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road." [3] or alternatively , it's "generally bounded by Prospect Street, Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla Boulevard and Pearl Street". [4] There are many other pages on the city website that use the phrase; I haven't looked at all of them. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:01, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Arxiloxos indicates this is an officially defined neighborhood. I suggest a name change to Village (La Jolla neighborhood) to lessen confusion with La Jolla Village, San Diego. Carrite (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The downtown part of La Jolla is often known as the "village" and seems to be well-defined enough by the City to merit its own subarticle, as with Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores. It certainly could use expansion, but I think there are enough sources to at least get this beyond a stub. Uncertain about name change - seems to me that Carrite's proposed name could just as easily be confused with the "other" LJ Village. The developers of La Jolla Village created the confusion, but I think we're stuck with it. There will always be people looking for the "wrong" "Village."

Article is about a non-notable shrine/organisation and is a part of a series of unsourced/self-sourced promotional articles on the ancestors and activities of the Nakvi family of Pakistan. Nearly all have been created by the same user User:Shahenshahkillz [6]; are linked from Family tree of Jahaniyan Jahangasht (recreated, earlier XfD'ed as Family tree of Jahania) and are characterised by a "Tando Jahania" custom sidebar.

  • Delete. There is a story about this at Gnome King Kyrië, but I don't see where it's this particular story. From what I can see, the gnomes disappeared because of the death of Kyrië, although the thing about folklore is that if you have one story then odds are there are ten others that tell a slightly or completely different tale.

Concerns about Scholsberg passing WP:GNG and WP:Creative. She was the victim of a murder in Mexico and that seems to be what she is (sadly) known for more than being an artist. An art gallery at university was named after her, but, it seems to be the case of WP:ONEEVENT. However, I could be wrong, and perhaps someone else have a different and convincing opinion - and better citations, too (aside from the few press articles that cover the murder). And, please keep in mind I am not trying to be malicious by nominating this article. I also have very little experience in crime areas of Wikipedia.

      The article notes:

      'The Daredevil's Manual' by Ben Ikenson (Barnes & Noble, $9.95). The Worst-Case Scenario people get some competition from this volume, which shows readers how to rip a telephone book in half (suggestion: start with a small one), juggle chainsaws, hold rattlesnakes in one's mouth, drive nails into one's nostrils, walk on coals or drive a motorcycle through a wall of fire.

      Don't try to sue the bookstore, by the way. The publishers say this is all "for entertainment purposes only" and disclaim all liability. (Darn!)

      The article notes:

      The Daredevil's Manual

      By Ben Ikenson, Macmillan, 172pp, $19.95

      ADMIT it: you've always wanted to juggle chainsaws or swallow a sword. You just weren't sure how to do it, right? Ben Ikenson's handy guide is a lawyer's dream, although disclaimers are prominent. Walking on hot coals ``can seriously impair pedestrian mobility; balancing 75 drinking glasses on your chin can leave ``heavy glass shards in your body; wrestling an alligator tempts ``permanent damage, disfigurement and death. Extremes: catching an arrow mid-flight while blindfolded, and holding live rattlesnakes in the mouth. Good luck.

      The review notes:

      The Daredevil's Manual

      Ben Ikenson

      (Pan Macmillan, $19.95)

      THINK about it: what kind of person needs a manual to be a daredevil? Got the answer? Good. Now we've ascertained this is a book for little, grey men in little, grey offices, let's look at its other crimes: chiefly, not being funny and relying on internet research. A bold cover appears to promise lessons on parachuting off buildings, walking on hot coals and eating live scorpions, then the publishers immediately get cold feet, issuing a comprehensive disclaimer warning you not to try swallowing swords and the like at home. Yawn. Suddenly, a bed of nails sounds preferable to actually reading this gimmick.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Daredevil's Manual to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The articles above have the following in common:

  • All created by Bine Mai
  • All are comprised of a few sentences, sourced on effectively a mineral deposit listing (which in itself is not enough to establish notability) or a company website.
  • None actually explain why the subject is notable enough to warrant an article in Wikipedia.
  • Many claim to be the "largest mines in the country" when they are actually not mines at all, rather just a deposit.

Note that in addition to the ones above, there are literally hundreds of others by the same user that are near identical in composition and sourcing. --kelapstick(bainuu) 15:48, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Although I'm not familiar with British local government positions, I have performed an advanced Google search to find results from the United Kingdom using the words "Mohammed Rahman" Corby. I realized that Mohammed Rahman appears many times, but as passing mentions, with maybe two exceptions including this article from the website of Brooke Weston Academy concerning a curry boot camp, which is not notable. The only other article with significant coverage that I could find was this one, but still, my limited research indicates that the position of "Councillor" and "Mayor" in this context is basically ceremonial. Outside of Corby, Mr. Rahman seems to be unknown, and according to the first reference in the article, he became councillor thanks to 810 votes, which I believe is far from impressive. I don't see how this person meets either WP:GNG or WP:BASIC criteria. Dontreader (talk) 21:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Originally proposed for deletion under the rational of this not being a "mine" rather an exploration property, and declined with suitable rationale, however I don't think this property meets the threshold for inclusion for Wikipedia.

  • Mining exploration sites are a dime a dozen, and may take years or even decades before they actually turn into active mines (and sometimes never actually turn into active mines at all.) So we can't viably create an article about every individual mining claim that gets staked. If this is part of a larger geological formation such as the Bakken shale, the Sudbury Basin or the Northern Ontario Ring of Fire, then that formation would certainly be a valid topic for a Wikipedia article, and this exploratory mine could be given an unlinked mention in that article — but it shouldn't be its own standalone article until it's actually crossed over from "exploratory site" to "actively producing mine".

Fails WP:NACADEMIC and without any supporting sources, WP:GNG. Flat Out let's discuss it 10:39, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Associate professor who does not reach the (admittedly demanding) standard of WP:Notability (academics). The article author wrote on the talk page "I work at Stanford Department of Biochemistry and have been asked to create a wikipedia page for all of our professors". I have tried to head him off at the pass by explaining on his talk page about WP:COI and advising that he submits drafts, and only about those who meet WP:PROF.

  • Unambiguous delete per WP:GNG and probably WP:PROF. Biochem is a very active field with a high threshold for "making a significant impact," and his memberships are of the rank-and-file variety; we might be missing something important about him, but we can't know because his WP:RS coverage is nil. Thanks for working on explaining, I'll go try to soothe feelings without piling on. FourViolas (talk) 11:59, 8 March 2015 (UTC); edited 13:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he's well-cited, although that's much less remarkable in the life sciences than in other areas (see H-index#Criticism); we could argue about his PROF#1 status. But we simply can't make an article without independent WP:RS, and all I can find is a list of authors in a Stanford press release, a list of fellowship winners in a Stanford press release (with a sentence about research interests), and half a paragraph in Stanford's official PR mouthpiece. There's nothing like in-depth coverage, and no independent sources. FourViolas (talk) 13:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's his university web page for basic facts, and there's copious literature where other scientists discuss his work. -- 120.17.0.168 (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unfortunately. I sympathize with the article creator's comments on the talk page - WP:PROF is pretty woolly and Wikipedia's coverage of scientists is so patchy and inconsistent that waiting for "someone random" to write articles is like funding your morning coffee exclusively with change you find on the sidewalk. Despite the COI, the article is not promotional in tone and doesn't exaggerate the subject's achievements. (Also, holy crap look at that poor person's talk page. Thanks FourViolas for being a voice of sanity.) But in the end Straight is just following a normal high-performer career trajectory, not yet notable by Wikipedia standards.

Just like the prior entry, this time the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement.

  • Comment: I have not yet evaluated whether the references in the new article are sufficient to overturn the deletion position from December, but this suggests a broader point. Should a step be added to the AfC process, such that existence of a prior AfD deletion decision is checked, so that if a reviewer is minded to accept the AfC, s/he automatically refers it back to AfD? AllyD (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    If the reviewer is using the AfC script (which almost everyone does), they are notified if the page was previously deleted. A new AfD is not generally needed for previously deleted material, and requiring one would be a waste of people's time. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:02, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I haven't looked into the subject, but this looks like it was created by a new user as part of the Art+Feminism series of meetups yesterday. There are more events related to women and feminism going on today. Looks pretty bitey to be taking these articles to AfD so soon. Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't think it's bitey to respond to floods of articles about non-notable people with an AfD (and I wish the people who organise such mass article creations would stress WP:RS and WP:N more). The guideline here is obviously WP:ARTIST rather than WP:PROF, since the subject has no cited academic publications. The artist criteria are:
1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. -- I'm seeing a half-dozen citations in books, which I don't think counts as "widely cited"
2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. -- I don't think this is true either
3. The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. -- I can find no reviews specifically of Sellars' work, although she gets brief mentions in reviews of some multi-artist exhibits
4. The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. -- the only real possibility here, I think, is (b), and I don't think "substantial" and "significant" are satisfied
It should be noted that Sellars has worked in collaboration with Stelarc, who is notable (but WP:NOTINHERITED). -- 120.17.65.148 (talk) 01:40, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ENT. Actor has only one significant role, in a film which has not been clearly established as being notable. Sources are Youtube, IMDB, and a passing Rotten Tomaties blurb, which appears to be WP:PRIMARY. Appears to be a case of WP:NYA. Grayfell (talk) 03:57, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the film in question does meet the notability requirements. The film has been covered and reviewed by credible sources around the web and features a very notable co-star Aunjanue Ellis. HipHopDoc (talk) 04:36, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. The film may be notable, but it is this person's only notable role. Per WP:ENT, notability is conferred by multiple notable roles. Other criteria are also possible, but they need to be supported by reliable sources. The article currently does not have such sources. Grayfell (talk) 04:45, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A clip of the actress' performance was posted alongside a review of the movie Money Matters on the New York Times website.[1] Ryan Richmond, the director of the film spoke very highly of Terri in a interview done by the Washington Post stating, “She gave a lot of herself. Her life was very similar to the character,” he then went on to say, “She just brought a level of honesty and vulnerability to the role that we couldn’t have asked for. As the lead character, we really needed that.”[2] When asked about her experience working with Terri in an interview Aunjanue stated, "shout out to Ms. Terri, a student at Clark who is running thangs there".[3] The actress in question is beyond a doubt notable to say the least. HipHopDoc (talk) 05:31, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is not about Money Matters, this is about Terri Abney. Per WP:ENT, she has only had one noteworthy role, and that's not enough. The NYT source is just an AllMovie database, which is fine for factual details about the movie, but is not a good indicator of notability. The societyhae.com source is a WP:PRIMARY blog interview, and likewise doesn't support notability. The Washington Post article (which I added before I nominated the article for deletion) is useful to indicate that she was part of the movie, but it is still only one relatively minor movie.

I would argue that Abney has acquired a cult-like following due to her role in the movie which makes her notable under the WP:ENTERTAINER guidelines HipHopDoc (talk) 06:57, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please include secondary, reliable sources to support that. Grayfell (talk) 07:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The movie was covered by leading independent outlets such as Indiewire where once again her role was mentioned in the article. Her having a leading role in a notable film should make her notable by default. It's not as if she was an extra she is actually listed as the movies star alongside an accomplished actress (Aunjanue Ellis) [1] HipHopDoc (talk) 07:28, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, she was the star of that one movie, that is not in dispute. The Indiewire source is awfully weak, do you have anything else? It's just a three paragraph news-brief which mentions her once in a factual description of her role. It mentions nothing about any sort of cult following or fanbase. Having a lead role in a notable movie (which doesn't have its own article) does not automatically confer notability. Notability is not WP:INHERITED from being involved in something that is notable. Right now it's just WP:TOOSOON. Grayfell (talk) 07:46, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seed, Graham M. (2001). An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++, p. 4 [21]. Springer Science and Business Media. ISBN 9781852334505.

User Vaqab has attempted to propose this page for deletion, but has somehow not performed the syntax correctly. I will leave it to them to comment on the AfD as to why they wish to delete it. Primefac (talk) 21:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Primefac.
Taj Anwar is not notable. The Wikipedia article for Taj Anwar was originally created for spammy promotional reasons. Vaqab (talk) 21:31, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Because there seem to be procedural problems with this article and I don't think that currently it is in a state that we can evaluate. Looking at the history, it was formerly over 6,000 characters long. But it has been subjected to page blanking and edit warring, until it has been reduced to a stub. To give it a fair chance, I think we need to evaluate the original text and sources, but we can't because they've been deleted.
The previous AfD ended as no consensus because the subject is covered in a chapter in this book, Rebel Moms: The Off-Road Map for the Off-Road Mom, by Davina Rhine, iUniverse (self publishing company). That argument is still valid. I looked at some of the sources that were present earlier, and many of them seem to be dead links. But one of them (the "gangsta" quote) was in the Wayback Machine, so I fixed that.
What I would suggest is that this article be edited to restore the sources that can be salvaged, and rewritten to the extent supported by those sources. And then if it's still not notable, it can be nominated again. (I'll also note that the nom has been on WP for only 2 days, but very active, and is clearly not a new editor.) – Margin1522 (talk) 00:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Taj Anwar was written about in a **self published** book, so I don't think that should count.
Looking at the edit history, you can see that what was deleted wasn't backed up by reliable sources.
The claims made in earlier versions of the Taj Anwar Wikipedia article were patently false. For example, it said she has a PhD since that is what she herself has claimed (but it isn't true).
If you google "Taj Anwar" you can see that she isn't notable, rather, a self-promoter. She calls herself a model but literally is not and never has been. Earlier versions of this Wikipedia article falsely claimed she had modeled for Banana Republic (this is 100% false).
Take a look at this version which is *filled* with false and/or unsourced claims. For example, that version claimed Taj Anwar's birth name is Tajik Assata Anwar Bahoul with no source. That version falsely says she was in graduate school and has a doctorate (completely false). She has no degree from Georgia State University. There are no legit sources. The man that's listed in that version as her "mentor, respected activist", Kalonji Jama Changa, is not notable either.
Her story is that she is on welfare ("governmental assistance") and has children. That's literally her activism, being a client of social services agencies and having children. None of the organizations that are listed in her Wikipedia article are notable.
Forgive me for repeating myself but I think it's unbelievable that there is a Wikipedia article on a random person when it's clear that it was created for self-promotional reasons and filled with outright, major lies. @Margin1522, nothing can be added back that has been erased because the Wikipedia article was never legitimate. It was full of lies (modeling, PhD) and self-promotion. Vaqab (talk) 00:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That may be so, although I'm dubious of the claim that she never modeled, since I think an earlier version Google had a link to a (minor) modelling agency 2007 social networking site for models, with her picture. That leads me to suspect that at least some of the other sources may have been legitimate. I'd also note that you seem to know a lot about the history of this article. Per WP:DISCUSSAFD, it might be better to disclose whether you have been a major contributor. Per WP:MULTIPLE, it might also be a good idea to disclose whether you are or have been using another account. – Margin1522 (talk) 02:30, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of the article fails WP:GNG. I can't find the significant coverages in multiple reliable sources that establish the subject notability. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 08:37, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was created as part of Art and Feminism meetup. A lot of the references around her are not in English; I was hoping that some of the other Meetup participants would be able to fill in the gaps. Creatrixtiara (talk) 08:38, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh! WP:MEETUP? That is non-sequitur! Nonetheless, Creating an article for a subject means that the article creator is familiar with the subject (I don't mean COI in this case) and coming here to claim that sources are not in English seemed to be irrelevant to me because the burden to establish a subject notability is on the article creator. The fact that sources are not in English does not mean they can't be included in the article and failure to include them (at least 2 or 3 of them) simply suggested that they are not available. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 09:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not really a non-sequitur - it means that this is a new article and probably created by a new editor (as it is in this case), so it's particularly important to make an effort to assume good faith and explain guidelines in a friendly way. It's possible that User:Creatrixtiara didn't know until now that it's fine to include non-English sources. Looking for sources, I see several mentions of her work in Google Books, mostly in Spanish - it's not clear to me from those results whether she's notable, but they signal to me that this is at least worth thoughtfully researching. Tiara, do you think it could make sense to merge this information into Cuban art, to mention Abdalá's work there, if it doesn't manage to be its own article?

  • Comment - WP:BEFORE asks that nominators consider whether it's a newly created article. Only a few hours had passed since the creation of the article. When the article was nominated it qualified for CSD-A7, asserting no claim to notability, but it wasn't CSDed -- it was AfDed, and for not being notable, which is another matter. The article was subsequently improved somewhat, with claims to notability added such that it no longer qualifies for A7, and there's no reason to believe it won't continue to be improved. Rather than the condescending, WP:BITEy "Gosh! ..." perhaps consider the implications of Creatrixtiara's comment: that as an article created as part of an ongoing event, it will likely continue to be developed over the course of that event. Should it have been created in a sandbox first? You bet. Is the subject notable? I don't know. I don't blame you for trying to have it deleted when you did, but at this point I'd recommend withdrawing the nom and taking another look in a few days. I would also support a Move to draft, which is a good place for a new article created by a new user to start anyway. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Follow-up: ... in fact, I think it would be an entirely reasonable course of action for the nominator to withdraw and boldly move the article to the draftspace him/herself. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:49, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • How do I move it to draftspace? I'm not really a new editor, but it's been a long time since I edited anything on Wikipedia (under a different account) and things seem to have changed a lot since then. I know that you can add non-English sources; however, because I didn't speak the source language, I wasn't confident about adding them in if I only knew what they were saying because of Google Translate. Creatrixtiara (talk) 04:11, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Cool, that makes sense. :) Help:How to move a page has the basic mechanics for moving a page, and "draft space" can mean a page called something like Draft:Yaquelín Abdalá, or it can mean a page that's a sub-page of your userspace, such as User:Creatrixtiara/Yaquelín Abdalá - it's pretty much up to you. Moving it to a sub-page of your user space can help make it clear to random fellow editors that a person cares about the draft and hopes to improve it, so I'd mildly lean toward that (that's what I've eventually decided for my own drafts after doing both myself). There might be somewhere on Wikipedia to ask for assistance with interpreting references from speakers of a particular language, but I'm not sure where.

I'd say this (inaptly named) friendly fire incident would be worth its own entry. Milnews.ca (talk) 19:09, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's certainly a case to be made here that we should have an article about the incident, but it's absolutely not necessary to maintain a biography of him as an individual. This frequently happens rapidly after such an incident, when the soldier's death is current news, but once we're two or three years removed from the immediate aftermath it isn't so obvious anymore that the person has attained sufficient notability to warrant a standalone biography. The four soldiers who were killed in the Tarnak Farm incident, for example, no longer have standalone biographical articles, but exist solely as redirects to an article about the event — and Doiron isn't more notable than they were, he's just more recent. So probably the best route here would be to sandbox this in userspace or draftspace, to allow conversion from a biography of the person into an event article about the incident — but a biography of Doiron as an individual is not the kind of thing we should be keeping.

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Every single source offered is WP:PRIMARY and thus unsuitable. Googling turned up nothing useful. This article has been tagged for COI, notability and primary sources for almost 3 years. Msnicki (talk) 10:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Shen is an important step in language development, even if now a deliberately unimportant language. It would be a negative effect on WP (Shen doesn't care) to remove coverage of it from WP.
Sourcing is awkward as, as with so many modern topics in CS, that coverage is mostly in the sort of on-line sources that WP has set itself against (although this never seems to limit articles on web comics). Mike Fogus' blog http://blog.fogus.me/?s=shen explains some of the Shen issues and Fogus ought to be considered as RS for functional languages.
The article here is currently poor. It fails to explain the major limitation on Shen, its licensing. Tarver's strict policy on licensing against forking development has seriously limited Shen development by others, or in other directions. As a result, pretty much all coverage of Shen will be from 2011 and it's a dead language beyond that point. IMHO, the licence restrictions killed the project. However it's not a non-notable corpse. Coverage of developments in programming language theory should include Qi and Shen. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A couple questions, Andy: Where are the reliable independent sources? Or in the alternative, what do you rely in the guidelines that supports notability without sources? Every one of the reasons you've given seems to be a reason why the article should be deleted, not kept. Msnicki (talk) 11:20, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(Note that the following is a wild guess:) I think I know why, besides the licensing, Qi and Shen have been entirely uninfluential, thereby failing to achieve Wikipedia notability: there's little that's qualitatively unique about them except for implementation details. They are explicitly intended to be modern functional languages, adding a number of features where Lisp hasn't kept up in any base version of the language. And Shen's KL is akin to the SECD machine.

  • Comment. Here's the problem I have with the argument that the work represents "an important step in language development". No one's argued anyone's using Qi or Shen and the author, Mark Tarver, is an academic, so I'm inclined to test the claim of importance in the way we often do in academia, which is to ask how often the work has been cited. Here's a Google scholar search on Tarver's papers. His paper on Qi has received only 3 citations and his paper on Shen has received only 2. Drilling down, three of those combined 5 citations are by Tarver himself, leaving these papers with only one citation each by anyone other than the author. Within the STEM disciplines, a significant paper is generally understood to be one that receives over 1000 citations. Qi and Shen are not only not important, almost no one's even noticed they exist. Msnicki (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC).[reply]
  • Strong delete The spiritual successor of Qi and even less notable. There don't seem to be any sources other than those authored by the languages designer. —Ruud 10:11, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Ideally I would argue for merging into the Qi article, but as Andy Dingley notes, and I'll extend, at best wonky licencing has caused these languages to be stillborn. The first version of Qi was GPL, but the author found that unsatisfactory and for the 2nd version made a custom license that e.g. required owning a copy of a page in the Qi book to make closed source commercial use of the language, with the obvious problem of the book eventually going out of print, as it did. Shen was less restrictively licensed, but the license was much more complex. A recent campaign that netted £2500 to BSD license it didn't actually result in a clean, unmodified BSD license, resulting in hard feelings that further harmed the tiny Shen community. So I can't argue for notability now or in the future :-(, unless someone gets inspired by them and creates another language, which, if it becomes notable, could then include Qi and Shen history in its history. Hga (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • strong keep Shen is different from Qi. For one it has a different set of primitives from Qi. It's a successor in the same sense SBCL is a successor of CMUCL and they have their own entries. Furthermore it has transitioned to a BSD license. The comments regarding licence made by Hga are no longer applicable. 68.184.193.46 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

"Furthermore it has transitioned to a BSD license." Operative word there is 'a', as in "a BSD licence", see for yourself one version of the modifications (the master license.pdf as distributed by the sources hasn't actually been changed since the first release, but it's still modified in the same style). It does no one any good to pretend this is a clean BSD license when anyone can see that's not the case by downloading it. And my greater point that wonky licencing caused Qi and Shen to be stillborn still holds. Maybe the license change will result in significant uptake and eventual notability, but that's not true now. If that happens the Shen Wikipedia page can be reborn. Hga (talk) 11:16, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I totally respect that you're entitled to your opinion, 68.184.193.46, based on the reasons you cite. Unfortunately, they do not address the one issue we consider at AfD, which is the notability of the subject. Everything else is a content issue to be decided elsewhere, assuming we keep the page. Under our guidelines, we define notability in a more technical way than might be common in ordinary usage. Here on WP, it's not enough that a subject seems notable or that we feel it should be notable. Instead, we require that others not connected to the subject must have taken note and that they have done it reliable sources, which we define as those with reputations for fact-checking and editorial control. This is what we don't have here and why I've argued for deletion. I note that Tarver indicates there are 467 of you in his newsgroup. All that's required to establish notability would be if at least 2 of you not named Tarver could write some short articles about Shen and get them published somewhere. Why not just do that? In the meantime, you may certainly request the page be WP:USERFIED while you continue to look for (or create) sources. Msnicki (talk) 18:36, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Are the Clever, Classless and Free talk by Håkan Råberg and the one that Aditya Siram presented Shen, a sufficiently advanced lisp at the Strange Loop conference not sufficient as "2 of you not named Tarver" presenting something about Shen? They are not articles but Strange Loop is a well known conference. Yofsotsi (talk) 01:00, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. They're not articles. More specifically, they're not what we consider WP:RS reliable sources. You really need to get something published in a journal or a magazine or something, not just presented somewhere. Techie magazines are always looking for material. Propose some articles to them. I suggested this in the 2nd Qi AfD three years ago and I'm a little surprised this seems so difficult. Otoh, if it really is that difficult, I think you have your answer as to why I question whether this is a notable subject. Msnicki (talk) 02:25, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:RS it seems that video is fine as a published source "However, audio, video, and multimedia materials that have been recorded then broadcast, distributed, or archived by a reputable party may also meet the necessary criteria to be considered reliable sources." The question then becomes if Strange Loop and InfoQ are considered reliable sources.Yofsotsi (talk) 03:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think developer conferences like Strange Loop and InfoQ accept talk based purely on a submitted abstract, or by invitation based on past performance of the speaker. As such the have little to no control over the content and thus wouldn't rank as particularly reliable due to lack of any review. For establishing notability it's a start, but one or two conferences in total still doesn't meet the criteria (I'm pretty sure we don't have an article on the vast majority of topic discussed in one talk at a developer's conference.) —Ruud 10:20, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Yofsotsi, a video can be acceptable. But what's contemplated is a video by a WP:RELIABLE source. A video segment from 60 Minutes is one thing; CBS News stands behind those and while even they occasionally get things wrong, we can all agree they have a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. A YouTube video, an obviously WP:Self-published source is quite another. Msnicki (talk) 16:15, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nakon 05:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I should introduce myself; I am Dr Willi Riha, formerly lecturer in comparative programming languages at the university of Leeds.
First I agree with you that the license question, which seems to be something of an obsession with HGA, is a blind with respect to the question of notability raised on these pages. As a matter of fact, Shen is under 3-clause BSD and has been since February this year.
I can say that Shen is not 'still born' (Dingley) or dead and that I have written and am still writing a significant body of work in it; work that in some cases I could not have pursued in ML; an example being the construction of a type secure proof assistant based on Bourbaki's formalisation of PC. HGA's characterisation of Shen as having 'little that's qualitatively unique' is malicious. We also have a team of people working on implementations under half a dozen languages. Finally Greg Spurrier is writing an introduction to Shen in Asciidoc. I am working on concurrent Shen right now. Shen is far from dead.
I am not an expert on the notability criteria of wikipedia or the question of primary sources. The Shen group has relied heavily on Mark Tarver's written documentation which is excellent and very thorough. So much so that it has deterred people from writing their own, though this is now changing. I know that Mark has encouraged people to step out of his shadow, and I hope with the new license this will happen. I would have thought that Aditya's talk on Shen at the StrangeLoop conference in 2014 should have sufficed in itself to remove the question of notability.
WP:notability says
The term "published" is most commonly associated with text materials, either in traditional printed format or online. However, audio, video, and multimedia materials that have been recorded then broadcast, distributed, or archived by a reputable party may also meet the necessary criteria to be considered reliable sources.
As Mark has pointed out, there are articles in Wikipedia on languages like Brainfuck and Malbolge which have far less following or use than Shen.
I think that there are enough people in the Shen group to rewrite this stub without Mark having to violate Wikipedia guidelines by editing the article himself. I vote for a strong keep. Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Williriha (talkcontribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. — Williriha (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 13:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"HGA's characterisation of Shen as having 'little that's qualitatively unique'" is a wild guess signaled by the weasel words "I think I know why", working from the observed facts and trying to figure out why Qi/Shen have made no apparent impact on the programming languages community, which might be expected to use some of its ideas if they were unique. That guess has resulted in no reply other than insult, plus now the above observation that it can do things that Williriha cannot (easily) do in ML. If I'm wrong, I would be interested in specifics about qualitative things that make it unique beyond implementation details, like it being a Lisp. Hga (talk) 22:21, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Dr. Riha, as an academic, surely you understand what it means to publish. It doesn't mean posting on YouTube. It usually means you got your paper published in some kind of reviewed publication. Our standards aren't even that high. All we ask is that you got published in a source with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. If you or anyone else is indeed doing some interesting work with Shen, surely some of you must have an incentive to publish something on the topic. Once you do, that will contribute to the notability of Shen in a way we can consider. When do you think that might happen? In the meantime, you are welcome to WP:USERFY the page. Msnicki (talk) 16:15, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, I think you are missing the point. The question of the academic originality/academic notability of Shen is not an issue to be decided in Wikipedia. My intercession was made to answer your statement 'No one's argued anyone's using Qi or Shen'. Well that has been addressed. So that should dispose of that objection. The question of notability is already shown by the size of the news group and, as Smita below has shown and I repeat the quote that he supplied
"The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability."
The only question remaining is whether the material in the entry is accurate and substantiated. If you think that is the case, then you need to withdraw your bid for deletion. If not, you need to indicate what parts of the entry are not substantiated and the Shen group will either withdraw them or find the necessary citations - Willi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williriha (talkcontribs) 16:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, you're wrong. We do not decide whether to keep an article based on whether it's accurate and substantiated. We decide based on whether there are independent secondary sources in reliable publications that discuss the topic. It appears no such sources exist. You can fix this. Go get something published in ANY reliable publication -- it could be TV Guide for all anyone cares -- and you can have your article. But we do not keep articles where the only sources are primary or self-published. Msnicki (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep In the Lisp family of languages, Shen stands out in at least two respects: (1) Its type system, which is closer to a general theorem prover than to a traditional type system, and (2) its implementation by compilation to a minimalist subset of itself. Shen is actively developed, well documented in The Book of Shen, and it has a small but active user base organized in a mailing list. Not being a Wikipedia expert, I cannot say if this suffices for notability, but as a Wikipedia user I would definitely expect Wikipedia to have an entry on Shen. 82.66.102.10 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Note: An editor has expressed a concern that 82.66.102.10 (talkcontribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 08:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the book is a WP:PRIMARY source, written by the author of this language and does not contribute to notability. If you would like to see an article about Shen here in WP, it's really, really simple: Go publish something somewhere else in a reliable source first, then come back and you'll get your article in a jiffy. Why is this so hard? Msnicki (talk) 16:15, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment.

I think the important sense of notability re Wikipedia is - 'of interest to a significant number of people'. This is contained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

"The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability."

Shen easily passes this test by virtue of the size of the news group and the number of threads in the group.

    • There are no grounds for deletion by non-notability even by your own standards**. You're out of order according to your own rules.

Also this ridiculous 'canvassing' nonsense needs to stop. The topic is all over the Shen news group. That's the only reason I'm here. Strong keep.

No, sorry, they do not. Those all appear to be WP:Self-published sources. Anybody can claim to be an expert and publish anything on his own. This is why we ask for WP:Reliable sources, defined as those with reputations for fact-checking and editorial control, and do not accept blogs, YouTube videos and so on. But any reliable source will do. It could be a hobbyist magazine as long it's reliable and you can somehow get your material published there. It doesn't have to be Communications of the ACM.

I searched for "Children's Wish Foundation of Canada". There are literally thousands of stories like this. I just picked a few at random. I have no idea why you can't find any. Per WP:CORPDEPTH " If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple[1] independent sources should be cited to establish notability." That's what we have here. And when we have coverage in hundreds of local newspapers in different markets it's not local, it's clearly widespread. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 06:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep More than enough coverage in newspapers & other sources to pass GNG.

  • Indeed, this just contains the episode titles themselves, and most of them are generic titles like "Soup", "Fruit", "Pianos" and "Sam". Episode lists are permitted on Wikipedia if they contain useful information — plot summaries, director/writer credits, specific airdates, ratings data, and on and so forth — but there's not much point in just listing hopelessly generic and uninformative episode titles with no corollary content at all. No prejudice against recreation in the future in the (rather unlikely) event that a more useful version can be created — but this, as constituted, is pointless. Delete.

The result was redirect to Pokémon#Fan community . Overall, there is consensus that Bulbapedia is not notable enough for an article. A selective merge has already been performed and there is a rough consensus to redirect/merge to that location anyways. As such, I'll redirect (non-admin closure) Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:58, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I apologize for the mess earlier which I've now fixed - Technically "3" is incorrect as it should be "3rd nomination" but the prev AFD was in 2005 hence prev being "2" and I'd rather not flaff around with historical stuff like that so figured it was best I name this 3.

Normally I'd agree with that, but the DRVs in 2009, 2010, 2011 said "endorse the delete" every time. Still, I'm no grumpy deletionist, if somebody can improve the article and prove me to be completely and utterly wrong, that would be great! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:45, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Remember that DRV isn't AfD - it's for contesting the procedure of a close, not the outcome of a close. Every time, nobody found anything wrong with the process to overturn it, nor did anyone provide any new reliable sources (though one guy tried really really hard, apparently). Either way, DRV refers back to the old article which was deleted (yes, in 2005, a lot has changed since then), so is irrelevant here. ansh666 19:57, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'm happy to downgrade to a straight "delete" ... but I can't go any further than that. I've dug into book sources and the best I can muster is things like this which is a one-sentence mention in a self-published source. That's just not enough to save the article, I'm afraid. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:51, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@ThaddeusB, for what it's worth, I've already added any source I thought was worth merging (comes to about a sentence rather than a paragraph). czar  16:33, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
