I frankly was initially going to delete but I thought redirecting would be an acceptable compromise....apparently not, because the author feels it's basically "deletion", overall and entirely there's simply nothing actually suggestive of his own independent notability and there's no inherited notability simply because he founded that company. SwisterTwister talk 22:07, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to Taylor, Fladgate, & Yeatman as a valid search term. Cursory source searches in Google News and books, along with a couple of custom searches, are not providing significant coverage about the subject. North America1000 06:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete(or Redirect): No individual notability outside of Taylor, Fladgate, & Yeatman. (There is a similar case to be made against the article on John Alexander Fladgate, which appears to be merely family genealogical information.) AllyD (talk) 08:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I still confirm my removed: "Noticeably advertorial with none of these sources actually being substantially convincing, not even minimally actually, they are either guides, trivial passing mentions or anything else clearly unacceptable; my own searches are simply not finding anything better than simple press releases, trivial passing mentions, guides and the like.".

- Delete for now. I did a relatively thorough google search, also looking up their old name High Adventure Travel, and wasn't impressed by anything except one excellent article [1] and a mediocre one [2]. Huffington Post doesn't help, and those were the only other articles that focused on the company in depth. There are some trivial mentions in good newspapers, so it might be a case of WP:Too soon. Yvarta (talk) 23:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - No assertion of notability, fails WP:CORPDEPTH, etc. Unsorted from media and music, BTW. Belongs in org. MSJapan (talk) 04:11, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep* - Been around for a while, subsidiary of well known travel network --Gilg89 (talk) 12:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)— Gilg89 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. - MSJapan (talk) 17:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Some guidance on assessing notability (the asserted lack of which was given as the rationale for deleting the article): How long something has existed isn't a factor under any of the general notability guidelines or subject-specific guidelines. Also, in general, notability isn't considered to be inherited. The notability of an international conglomerate doesn't confer notability on each of its subsidiaries. To have its own article, a subsidiary has to meet the criteria on its own. That aside, a Google search doesn't give me the impression that BootsnAll is well known either. Largoplazo (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- To note also, this "Keep" is not at all convincing since this would actually still need better substantial sources, not PR. SwisterTwister talk 18:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Does Wall Street Journal not constitute notability? --Gilg89 (talk) 18:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Even if a company is actually covered by the Wall Street Journal, it cannot simply be PR-like such as funding or events. There has to be a convincing level of information that is simply not about the company starting or expanding. SwisterTwister talk 18:22, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

- Keep* This company will book around the world travel with any combination of airlines, no one alliance necessary, and will include budget airlines, making the product it offers, a RTW itinerary using any and all airlines available for each segment of a trip to get the best schedule and price, unique. No other RTW products I can find (Oneworld, Skyteam, etc) offer this specific service. I don't know how to add this information, however, and keep the copy sounding neutral, which is important in Wikipedia, right?ChrisCiolli (talk) 13:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)ChrisCiolli
- This Keep is not convincing for why and how the article is still questionable, especially given the Delete notes which have been listed here. SwisterTwister talk 16:41, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - Meets WP:PSTS primary criteria standards because of depth of coverage and independence of sources Skirts89 (talk) 21:58, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete -- the coverage appears rather trivial, and the claim to notability "the only company that would book complex airfare" and "Indie, the proprietary engine" is fine for trade press, but not for encyclopedia. Acquired by another non-notable company. Overall, does not meet CORPDEPTH. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:01, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

PROD was rejected since Carleton is the first homegrown signing in team history. Sadly that does not make Carleton notable yet, he still fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

The title of the article says it all. Plus, there are no refs and dubious choices dictators. Vladimir Putin was removed, but King of England is still listed. Bgwhite (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Serious reasons: violates WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:OR, and, since the keeping of pet cats by dictators is not an inherently notable topic, WP:GNG. Additional reason: it's a list of dictators who had cats. This just made my day. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 21:30, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete This is so horrible I find it hard to believe it exists. Even if List of state leaders who had pet cats was in some way a reasonably notable and coherent list that it would make sense, the POV-pushing term dictator kills any chance of this being a workable list at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, article obviously created by a dog owner
, seriously, does not meet WP:LISTN, no citations found that discuss this (there are a number of sources discussing dictator pets in general but not specifically cats). Coolabahapple (talk) 05:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:V, as well as being a POV magnet. Though I do think it's a notable topic, however, because heads of state are inherently notable, I think List of state leaders who had pet cats covers this topic nicely. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 00:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator on the grounds that he has played pro football in Croatia and Serbia, and that he will play pro football in Germany. None of these assertions are supported by reliable sources, and speculation as to future appearances is never grounds for notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:23, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Lauren Cisneros (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)
Cisneros won a state Miss USA pageant. That is all she has done that is even almost close to making her notable. Nothing else she has done makes her even remotely close to being notable. Due to the way coverage works, this is essentially being notable for one event, and there are the same problems with this type of biography of a living person notable for just one event (normally notable is a bit of a stretch) as others. There is just not enough good reasons to keep this article. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:09, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: but question: Can we redirect to a Miss Colorado article? I think we really DO need to get NPAGEANT created, because at the rate things are going, all these state pageant winners are starting to have individual articles created, and I can see this would be a big problem. Where would an NPAGEANT SNG be best created? within NMODEL? Montanabw(talk) 18:00, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Actually most of the 2005-2007 state pageant winners have articles, later years and earlier years very rarely do. To take a state I picked totally at random Miss Mississippi USA has articles for the winners in 5 years, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2013. The 2013 winner was the first Bangladeshi-born winner of "that title" if the article on Paromita Mitra is read at face value, it seems she is the first Bangladeshi-born Miss Mississippi USA, which hardly seems worth noting. If she is the first State Miss USA for any state, or even the first state winner of any one of the top two or three or so beauty pageants to be born in Bangladesh, this might be notable, but I still have my doubts. What has become clear is there is just not enough attention to people winning these contests to even have new articles being created on the new winners, let alone creating articles on every winner all the way back to 1952. We have not even come to a clear ruling on whether winnign Miss Teen USA makes someone notable. I have my doubts as to whether Kristi Addis is notable. The article is backed by a link to IMDb, which is not considered a reliable source, and an article written by Addis, but maybe her title is high enough to presume notability, and I have not yet done a search to see if I can find more sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:38, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Basically because Scheick is not a public figure, she made one entrance into the public spotlight, in winning a state beauty contest, but that is essentially one event. Her aspirations to become a sportscaster have not led to her yet reaching the level of notability. I was able to actually dig up what appears to be a public record on her marriage in 2011, which leads me to question the name listed at the start of the article. However online postings of marriage certificate requests are not really the type of secondary sources we should be building articles on, they probably don't count as secondary at all. Even connecting the dots that much was largely based on a post she made on facebook showing up when I did the search. There is nothing close to a reliable secondary source even proving she is alive today, let alone saying anything about her life since she was Miss Alaska USA. Even the stuff from when she was Miss Alaska USA consists primarily of local coverage or coverage from within the beauty pageant industry itself. There is one exception, which is a photo (not an article, a photo!) from the Baltimore Sun of her and another Miss USA. There is nothing even close to showing notability for Scheick.

Most of the hedge fund sources are pay-walled. Even if you check someone called Danny Yong, he is one of the best in Asia and only has 4 sources. If someone quite reputable within the space like hedge fund intelligence wrote about it, it means something.

- Keep. It is referenced. Premise of AFD is wrong.
- By the way, it was a US Civil War regiment, so it was no doubt covered in other military reports of the time. The war was very well documented. I think a regiment is large enough to ensure, like a secondary school, that there will be notable alumni, published letters home, etc., but not online because it has been 161 years. --doncram 21:01, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- To respond to several digs below: the article was created in this initial edit complete with all or almost all info in the article when the AFD started, with SOURCE clearly given in its own section (the 1865 Report of the Adjutant General of Rhode Island). That is evidence that the editor User:Jmgould meant that all of the info was sourced from that report. There's mention further below of a compendium by author Dyer (thank you to User:AustralianRupert for your attention here). Maybe Dyer and the R.I. Adjutant General both compended from the same military source, or Dyer compended from the R.I. Adjutant General. I personally imagine that the same information appears in more than one source, because it is a factual list of places where the regiment went, and it probably would not have been a copyright violation back then, even using today's copyright standards, to copy it. It's also possible the editor completely made up all of the information in the article out of thin air, but I doubt that. :) --doncram 22:51, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - It's referenced? What exact piece of information in the article is stated to have come from the "reference" given? "Sources" aren't just "I put some text in there that looks right, so it's sourced now." That "reference", by the way, is available online, is over 750 pages long, and is a primary source not suitable for establishing notability.

- Delete - Necrothesp is correct, but so is Christroutman, and I believe the need to write an encyclopedia article that clearly indicates where its material is sourced from (WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT) is much more important to encyclopedic integrity than having a cut-and-paste job to show that "some sort of information exists in some fashion someplace" (which is about as specific as it can get at present). As far as I am concerned, this article is unsourced - without specific pages given, I have no empirical proof that the information in the article as presented exists in the source. MSJapan (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: I'm pretty certain that the majority of the info was taken by the original editor from Dyer's Compendium, which can be found here in various formats: [4] I'm having serious trouble downloading it, so I will ping @Adamdaley: who I believe has a copy of the work (per this: User:Adamdaley/Personal Library). Adam, are you able to check your copy of Dyer's work and confirm whether the information in the article currently presented comes from that source? Beyond that, it seems to me that the topic passes the WP:GNG, although the article is most certainly in need of being rewritten. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 13:56, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your effort. I found my way to a browsable version of the Emory.Edu version of Dyer. I first saw the source in a page where there was what looked like a shrunk-down image of the book. I had to zoom in somehow (there are + and - magnification buttons at lower right) and then it is fine...it is the book itself. This is page 39 of the document, where Rhode Island's 41 separate units are listed (including, separately, Battery A,B,...M of the 3rd Rhode Island Heavy Artillery. The document is displayed "2-up", and I can page left or right, and using a slider along the bottom I can go anywhere from beginning to end (page 1810). It is organized into three parts, with the unit-by-unit histories listed by state alphabetically in the third part. I just browsed until i get to Rhode Island's start. The Rhode Island units' histories begin at page 1633 of the document (page with printed number 1627). The compendium doesn't begin the section by saying where the Rhode Island info comes from, but I presume it is a full copy of the Rhode Island Adjutant-General's 1865 report. This is surely in the public domain and it is fine by me if the initial version of the article was cut and pasted from there. It seems to have been slightly reworded here and there. Oh, now I see that User:Anotherclown has this Dyer source all figured out and has already put in some specific page references, e.g. page 1634, into the article. Hopefully this comment still helps. --doncram 23:27, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - from a fairly brief interweb search I found a few books (Cox, Dyer, and Grandchamp) that include quite a bit of coverage (multiple pages in each), whilst the regiment also seems to receive some passing mention in many more [5][6] (9,000 + hits in Google books). There also seems to be quite a few websites of varying quality. Whilst I agree that the article has numerous issues I'm not sure WP:TNT is the way to go. I admit to having little knowledge of researching American Civil War units but I did uncover some promising sources so I'd imagine a specialist would be able to find many others. This leads me to believe that the assumption of the general notability of units of this size in WP:MILUNIT is a reasonable one and that there is likely to be significant coverage per the requirements of WP:GNG. I'd suggest merging all the subunit articles into the regimental article as this should easily allow a fairly decent article to be written to cover the activities of them all (whilst individual sub-unit articles would probably be difficult to sustain). I've now made some changes to the article in an attempt to clean it up a bit and add what referenced information I found that seemed relevant. In doing so I removed a chunk of unreferenced material but of cse would be quite happy for it to be worked back in by other editors if they are able to provide the appropriate references. Anotherclown (talk) 00:30, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Is this the "Blood libel in popular culture" fork of Blood libel? I'll revisit it during the week this AfD is open to see if it's improved upon, but right now it's an essay, not an encyclopedia article. (Did Mark Twain use the expression "blood libel"; no, it's just fun to quote Mark Twain.) I'm not familiar with the secondary analysis, but there might be an encyclopedia article to be written about the use of the expression "blood libel" in modern politics. If there is, this article will never serve as its foundation. A good candidate for some WP:TNT. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not foolish enuf to expect a decent interval for enhancing what started out as an irrelevectomy on Blood libel, so here's the thumbnail response to DS:
- As always with natural languages, presuming "independen[ce]" would be not just dubious but naive. In Palin's case, one must suspect deliberate misuse; she disavowed having come up with the phrase, citing a WSJ journalist (who could not be proven to be writing at her campaign's behest). (That makes not two, but three usage-participants).
- User #2 is Palin, (Koch -- another right-wing political activist -- is, chronologically, #4 in my personal count) while #3 is the ever-unpredictable lawyer/scholar/activist Alan Dershowitz, who seemingly went out of his way to speak up for her -- consistent with his always-a-new-surprise semi-pro-Israel liberal contrarian role -- with an essay or interview advocating tolerance for what many who are Holocaust-aware would call poisonous misappropriation and trivialization of the original blood libel usage.
- I'm answering (not endorsing) the criterion of usage count, and my group of 4 is not twice the supposed mere 2. I put far greater significance in the chain of 3, suggesting that the phenomenon is not a handful of 2 (or many more) instances, but part of a largely neglected but demonstrable trend of discourse. I dunno if Palin's usage is a dumb (or a dumb-like-a-fox) effort by her or her Svengalis to stir up controversy between her and the liberal Jews whom her constituency love to hate, but i think there's evidence of a new but verifiable trend in usage, and sufficient reason to support further research by compiling the info i've just stumbled on.

As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of maritime science fiction media, this genre does not appear to have attracted any academic or critical attention. There are no hits on Google Scholar and no relevant hits on Google Books; all of the hits on Google News are by Andrew David Thaler, a scientist and author who appears to have invented the term. This is perhaps an example of an article created too soon. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:17, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - nobody disputes that science-fiction films can be set at sea, but there is no evidence that such a sub-genre has been identified and analyzed in a scholarly context, unlike space opera or steampunk for example. I don't see an avenue for the development of the article. Betty Logan (talk) 21:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Rename to Underwater science fiction or Undersea science fiction. Gscholar shows 0 hits for "maritime science fiction" but 13 hits for "Underwater science fiction" and 2 hits for "undersea science fiction". GBooks shows 588 hits for "undersea science fiction" and 230 hits for "underwater science fiction". It seems a genre more likely called underwater or undersea sci fi. Under these alternative names there seem sufficient reliable sources to discuss this genre. --Mark viking (talk) 22:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment You seem to have identified that there are places on the 'net that use the phrase "underwater science fiction" and that is a good start, but it does not show that there are reliable sources about a genre of fiction by that name. I'm seeing a good number of lists on IMDb, Goodreads and such, a few blogs and a number of pages that are completely off-topic. I'm not really finding reliable sources for meaningful content about a genre by any of these names. - SummerPhDv2.0 22:25, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- I think you have misunderstood the nature of the citations. They are not to academic work on science fiction (peer reviewed or otherwise). Further, while the scientist in question is an author of what he calls maritime science fiction, he is not, unless I'm mistaken, a scholar of literature. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - this is a made-up term. The mere existence of a tiny handful of Google hits for two words strung together does not constitute the existence of a recognized category or concept.

- Comment - Yes, a blog-like promotional site that copies material from Wikipedia will have material that is in Wikipedia. That this unreliable source found the material here says nothing about whether or not it should be here. I'm not sure what you think we will be able to do with any response you get from "a science fiction author".

- Delete. This does not seem to be a recognized genre in independent reliable sources. As others have said, there are a few hits for variations of the phrase, but there doesn't seem to be in-depth coverage of it. We would need sources that describe the history, major works, and common themes. Instead, we get a few trivial mentions that point out that a science fiction story takes place underwater, much as people will clarify that a science fiction work takes place on the moon. Instead of lunar science fiction, we've got Moon in fiction (which is pretty terrible). Nautical fiction is a good enough home for this topic. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:29, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- Comment A list from good reads is not a workable source to show a sub-genre is recognized. The article cited has even bigger problems. He seems to be trying to show that the US navy naming ships "enterprise" has some link to science fiction. Of the 7 ships, 6 of them (including the air craft carrier he mentions) pre-date the first airing of star trek.

- Delete. Insufficient reliable sourcing in the article and as presented above. I myself performed a reasonable search before I asserted my opinion in the DRV. I found nothing approaching WP:IRS. I'd be happy to look at this again if better sourcing is presented, and if Cunard could find something, I'd definitely want to see what has been found. As I've stated in the DRV (and for the record I recommended this AfD), websites like CoinDesk, CoinFront, and Cryptocoinnews lack independence (instead promoting alternative coinage as a business model) and reliability (being mostly fringe specialty journals and blogs). The Finance Magnates piece is a bare mention and doesn't directly detail; the usually reliable Business Insider (another bare mention) chooses to base the entire paragraph on this subject's creator to CoinDesk. BusterD (talk) 18:21, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- The author of the CCN article is Clay Michael Gillespie, who describes himself below the article as holding "a B.S. in Public Relations from Ball State University, and freelances for different clients in technology and cryptocurrency."

Delete. Redirect to Dogecoin#Use and exchanges Let's look at the sources provided above by Valoem:
- Coin Deck, Cryptocoinnews, CoinFront. These are all niche publications, with a very narrow focus on the bitcoin world. As such, what they lack is discrimination. If it's related to bitcoin, they print it. I don't see any of these as showing the subject to be notable. They need to be covered in the wider press. I'm not even holding out here for general interest publications. I'd probably be satisfied with some good coverage in financial or business media. Show me something in the Wall Street Journal. Or Crains. Or The Financial Times. The Economist. But not Joe's Random Bitcoin Website. They couldn't even get TechCrunch to write about them.
- Finance Magnates. This is an article about a service named Yours. The only mention of DogeTipBot comes in the 4th paragraph, This feature is similar to other content tipping items that are popular on Reddit such as the bitcoin ChangeTip bot or DogeTipBot. That's hardly significant coverage.
- Business Insider. This is an article about yet another service, TransferWise. The only mention is in the eight paragraph, Harsher words come from Robert Mohland, who built dogetipbot, an tipping tool that lets users tip others with digital currencies online. Again, just a passing mention.
- In short, coverage in niche publications, plus passing mentions in somewhat larger scoped publications, does not add up to being notable. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Comment; this wasn't nominated before. User above PRODed the article in 2015; this was later undone - see User_talk:Rjd0060/Archive_11#JUCCCE_.2F_Joint-US_China_Collaboration_on_Clean_Energy.

- It was PRODed (and endorsed by me) in 2014. The page was deleted and it was undone almost one year later in 2015, based on this discussion. The page was restored by Rjd0060 without restoring its talk page. The article was after that cleaned-up by AdventurousMe but it still seems to be problematic. Beagel (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment:Previous deletion followed the proper procedure. The second paragraph of the article highlights the founder's translation of a Thomas Friedman article as the organization's most notable achievement. I don't think that meets the standard. Article says organization's mission is to "convene ... stakeholders," which sounds like PR jargon. Another major achievement was "revolutionized China's electric grid," which also sounds like PR because I see no evidence that any such "revolution" actually occurred. Based on its website, JUCCCE appears to have zero paid employees. Project descriptions are vague. Latest update to website's News section is an article about a July 4 party organized by the US consulate in 2015. Next most recent event was a "loosely structured discussion that invited the participants to reminiscence over their favourite past-time activity in their hometown" at a Shanghai restaurant. Media sources used as evidence of notability in User_talk:Rjd0060/Archive_11#JUCCCE_.2F_Joint-US_China_Collaboration_on_Clean_Energy are profiles of founder Peggy Liu, adding to the impression that the organization (and this article) are primarily a PR platform for her. I'd assess differently if there were media coverage of the alleged "revolution of China's energy grid" or other concrete achievements, rather than puff pieces about the founder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plainsong43 (talk • contribs) 06:30, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Boleyn (talk) 09:14, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Problem is there's so many twats on here that revert anything and everything so figured It'd be much easier just to go along this route and get consensus first, If consensus is to keep and db-move this then I'll happily do that however I'd rather get consensus first instead of moving it and having someone revert, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 11:21, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: perfectly valid dab page, now that I have replaced the prematurely-removed Islington article. While that page exists, it needs to be linked from the dab page. If it is deleted at AfD, then the link on the dab page should be removed, and the dab page should then be redirected to the Florida setup (or that one moved to the base name). But this AfD is absurdly premature and it was very poor editing to remove the Islington article before the end of the AfD. PamD 12:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Article should be deleted per similar logic behind this AfD for Never Trump. Online searches return thousands of results, but per WP:NEO, these seem to be generally sources using the term and not sources about the term. Appears overall to be a hashtag, general sentiment, (at times even a bit of a slur) but not really an organization of any type, nor even a loosely organized movement with any semblance of hierarchy or structure. Can throw in WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENTISM for good measure.
Currently the article is mostly a WP:COAT rack for talking about voter dissatisfaction, which may well be perfectly WP:DUE weight in an article about the candidate or the election, but remove the coats and the article is essentially a dictionary entry. TimothyJosephWood 12:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Merge/Redirect to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016. There is possibly another good target I'm not thinking of. There are sources about this hashtag and these objections, but I don't see them covered sufficiently outside of the campaign in general, so per WP:NOPAGE, merge/redirect. @Timothyjosephwood: Regarding the comparison the the Never Trump AfD, it seems worth mentioning that the article looks to have been recreated as Stop Trump movement the day after that AfD was closed... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is plainly a notable topic, passing GNG with numerous sources. (Just a few examples: [10] [11] [12].) It has been covered for months. The deletion of Never Trump was grossly erroneous, and should not be used as a precedent here. --Sammy1339 (talk) 22:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep This article has four paragraphs and only one of the paragraphs talks about voter distrust, while the other paragraphs talk about polls showing that the majority of Sanders supporters would support Clinton, Bernie Sanders endorsing Clinton, or arguments against the Bernie or Bust movement. For that reason, I think it is un-insightful to call this article a WP:COAT article. Even if the article only discussed voter distrust, it would not be a WP:COAT article because it discusses the cause of the movement rather than spread a propaganda about it as a WP:COAT article would. One of the biggest reasons people come to Wikipedia is to learn the origin of a particular concept, so we shouldn't delete an article for doing its job (unless there's no sources or the topic is not notable, however this is not the case). The article is balanced because, as I mentioned before, this article has four paragraphs and only one of the paragraphs talks about voter distrust, while the other paragraphs talk about polls showing that the majority of Sanders supporters would support Clinton, Bernie Sanders endorsing Clinton, or arguments against the Bernie or Bust movement. --Proud User (talk) 22:58, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Strong merge and redirect to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 for the same reason as the "Never Trump" movement. It's too early to determine whether this will have lasting significance and comply with WP:NOTNEWS. Graham (talk) 22:59, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Also per Grayfell, who I think put it rather succinctly:
Given the level of significance that we can ascribe to this phenomenon (or movement, or however it is best described at this stage) without having a crystal ball, the appropriate depth of coverage can fit comfortably in the campaign article. And if this phenomenon comes to have the level of significance that some expect, the decision not to have a separate article can of course be reassessed at that time. Graham (talk) 22:29, 4 August 2016 (UTC)Election coverage needs to be weighed carefully, as so much of it turns out to be disposable. This specific phrase may turn out to have lasting significance but it's too early to tell.
- Merge and redirect to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 - there is no reason that this can't be covered, in context, in a paragraph or two on that page. Neutralitytalk 21:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Well, there are a couple reasons. One is that that article is already very large, and there is no room to merge this one into it. Another is that the subjects are different - "Bernie or Bust" is not part of the campaign, and is a continuing phenomenon, while the campaign is over. Also, WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here, as this is a months-old topic which continues to get coverage, so I can't see any rationale for deleting. --Sammy1339 (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Grayfell (talk) 23:45, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge & redirect to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 per Grayfell and WP:NOTNEWS. While the subject is well-sourced and relevant enough to the Sanders campaign to warrant coverage, it is simply WP:TOOSOON to determine whether or not it is notable in its own right.--JayJasper (talk) 20:12, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. The Daily Banter February 22nd, AlterNet April 11th, Los Angeles Times April 24th, U.S. News and World Report May 3rd, The Atlantic May 5th, New York Magazine July 28th. These are a few sources among literally hundreds. The range of dates should dispel arguments of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RECENTISM, and WP:TOOSOON. --Sammy1339 (talk) 20:52, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge & redirect We don't need separate articles for every briefly popular hashtag that pops in the 2016 election cycle. Plantdrew (talk) 04:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The Never Trump article was partly deleted for being a mere two-liner that can be easily discussed within other contexts, and for being an insider campaign that failed to rally a real movement. I don't necessarily agree, but this article here is considerably longer, adequately sourced and indeed a widely discussed popular movement that is distinct from the Sanders campaign, and may still play a decisive role in the election. --PanchoS (talk) 21:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- The "may still" sounds a lot like "may one day be notable". TimothyJosephWood 00:55, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- I think you are working very hard to establish a false equivalency between "may still become notable" and "may still be the deciding factor in a presidential election". How do you reconcile the idea that it is not notable yet with the large amount of coverage it has received over the past five months? --Sammy1339 (talk) 02:22, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016, with some content merged if anything warrants it. If the current page actually talked about the phrase's cultural impact in more compelling detail, I might vote keep. As is, however, all the page's content seems to be talking about Sanders supporters as a general concept/timeline of events. As this group of people isn't defined by their catchphrase, but by their political allegiance, I feel all the current content would be more appropriate under a "support movements for Bernie Sanders" section or something along those lines, with Bernie or Bust mentioned briefly in that context.

*Keep. There is one museum show, but many galleries he exhibited in are not commercial, but public galleries. Shows like Public Art in Brooklyn, Armory Show in NYC are equal to museums exhibitions. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:38, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Sources are weak. Vortex is a primary source. Bushwick open studios doesn't actually say anything; it is a directory. Artnet shows images of his work at his gallery, McNeill Art Group, but provides no information about him. Mutualart references some other sources, but has nothing substantial to say about him. Recology is a statement by Tripoli himself. The WYNC ref is to a radio show with Tripoli as a guest. And finally artmargins is a dead link. Following up on the mutualart link, there is indeed a mention of his work: It is not even a full sentence: "Tyrome Tripoli’s “Rubber Fan, Exhaust” (2007) seemed to recede into its own shadowiness,…" in this article. When I looked for sources I found nothing more substantial than what is listed as references. With regards to Arthistorian1977's comment that showing at Public Art in Brooklyn or the Armory Show is equivalent to a museum exhibition, I found no evidence that Tripoli showed at the The Armory Show (not to be confused with the Armory Show) or that there ever was a show called Public Art in Brooklyn that featured his work.

This person as a whole is not notable nor influential, and does not meet wiki standards for biography of a living person.
Her achievements and awards' notability is questioned. At least it is very debatable whether his awards are truly notable by wikipedia standards. They could be achievable easily by others. There are many other similar children merely in Hong Kong (her country of residence), let alone the world.
Many of her competitions are regional with few competitors. It is not difficult to achieve these results. Her international competitions' awards are mostly seconds to fourths. Her performances are also not notable.
The whole article is interwoven with biased terms, suggesting a positive image. More neutral wordings should be used if it is to be kept. (eg. she is recognized by her achievements in..)
Dead links present.
The major contributor & creator is suspected to be autobiographing together with a few of her close friends. There is a huge conflict of interest in creating a wiki as a resume. Moreover, several accounts are suspected to be involved in sock puppetry (requires further investigation with admin power), thus protecting this article from deletion.
minor: There is also a noticable amount of edits by blocked users or ip adresses.

- Agree. If you look closely at her awards, they are mostly regional with few competitors. A closer examination reveals that some of her regional competitions (regional as in within her own town) have only less than 20 competitors. Even the overseas ones have few competitors, mostly from the hosting country. They are also children's competitions, not professional ones and not notable. It is not hard or notable to get these achievements if she joins lots of these competitions. Moreover, two of her prizes are awarded by the Hong Kong harp chamber, which is the place where she attends lessons.[1] Tseung Kwan O Let's talk 07:05, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- ReplyAs a cantoneese speaker, I have searched for websites related to her using various search engines in Chinese language. There are indeed a few more websites about her. Consider this one:[2] It's an article mainly focusing on her teacher. There's a tiny section interviewing her, with her saying that playing the harp makes her happy. There's also a ticketing website which included that she performed as a student in her teacher's personal miniconcert[3] (The concert is held in a small chapel) These are the notable websites that mention her. There are also some other promotions or archive websites that mentions the above concert. Aside from that, two websites from her elementary school that said she got some sort of artistic ambasador's nomination in her school. Please correct me if there's anything wrong.

Strongly Keep - Many unimportant musical lists regarding US and UK are here in wikipedia. Whereas rain songs play very important roles in Bollywood. If u search in google "rain songs of Bollywood", I'll see thousands of articles. Rain songs are certainly a musical genre in India. The article includes proper references and the article is well written I think. Neebras (talk) 10:14, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment @Neebras: You'll have to provide sourcing to verify that "rain song" is a specific recognized genre of music. The fact that there are lots of songs about rain does not make "rain song" a recognized genre. "Love song" is a specific genre, and there is a lot of literature on the topic of love songs. If you could find similar literature (albeit likely a lesser volume of literature, but that's OK) to indicate that "rain song" is a recognized genre, you might have something. You'd probably do better to create the article Rain song (genre) first, to establish its notability as a genre, and then this list might have some meaning. But otherwise, this list falls into the category of list cruft. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles because candidate — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate, then he must win the seat and thereby hold office to become eligible. And neither does a person get a Wikipedia article just for having famous parents, as notability is not inherited. The Bronze Star, however, is not an honour that gets a person over WP:MILPEOPLE in and of itself — and the only other potential claim of notability here, that he's written for the media about his military service, is sourced entirely to content where he's the bylined author of the piece rather than independent third parties writing about him. So no, nothing here clears the "belongs in an encyclopedia for it" bar. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Cordless Larry: true enough, there is no direct contradiction.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
As the article suggests "sequence" isn't a well-defined technical term. Archaeologists use it colloquially in a number of ways, all of which we cover elsewhere, e.g. archaeological record, stratigraphy (archaeology), seriation (archaeology). Should be a redirect to archaeological record or stratigraphy (archaeology). Joe Roe (talk) 07:07, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect/merge somewhere. Not very helpful as it is, but we need to cover the term somehow, with references. Johnbod (talk) 13:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect to Seriation (archaeology). My understanding is that Relative dating, sequence dating, or seriation are all methods for establishing a chronological ordering of items such as archaeological artifacts, assemblages, events, or strata into an archaeological sequence. Archaeological sequences are a component of archeological records, but not equivalent to them. I think the idea of an archaeological sequence is likely notable, but at this point, we have better articles on the methods than the results. Sequence dating produces sequences, as does seriation. Seriation is the better article and may thus be a better target to put the concept of archaeological sequence in context. --Mark viking (talk) 22:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect to Seriation (archaeology) unless someone comes up with something better.

Per original AfD, Subject of the article fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:GNG. Professors are generally not considered notable and they don't get freebie encyclopedic article on Wikipedia for being a professor. This remains valid in re-nominating this page in my opinion, which is why I vote for it to be deleted. Dane2007 (talk) 06:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - as per nom, clearly fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG. There is no evidence that his research has made a significant impact in his discipline, the only award cited is one from his local high school, he has not held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution, nor has he made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. He has an extremely low citation rate and only a few published papers not enough to satisfy the notability requirements. Dan arndt (talk) 08:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Does not appear to meet either GNG or WP:PROF. Does not seem to have made a significant impact in his field: simply being a professor is insufficient, and the professional association he is a part of does not seem prestigious enough that membership grants notability.

WP:BLP, depending entirely on primary sources with no sign of reliable source coverage, of a flag designer. This would get him into Wikipedia if RS coverage were there to get him over WP:GNG, but does not entitle him to a no-RS-required freebie. Further, the article was created by User:JeanPichette, a likely conflict of interest — there's far, far too much entirely unsourced personal life detail here for the article to have been created by anyone other than a direct member of his own family.

Hello, I'm Jean Pichette, indeed Robert Pichette's nephew. Some have said that that there is no sign that Robert Pichette was a flag designer. The transcripts of the Canadian Senate in 2000[1] and 2015[2] relate that he was indeed the creator of the NB Flag. The Premier at the time, Louis Robichaud, was also senator in 2000 and was present at the allocution. The problem resides in the fact that R. Pichette was a civil servant at the time and civil servants rarely get the honours of their work. When we look at Encyclopedia Britannica, R. Pichette is listed as having contributed to the creation of NB Flag[3]. In addition to developping the NB Flag, R. Pichette has written more than 30 books and 50 articles mostly relating to Acadian History. This alone would warrant a page in Wikipedia. I would not have any problems in removing information that is deemed too personal. Jean Pichette (talk) 16:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Nobody's said that he's not a flag designer — but being a flag designer is not a thing that entitles a person to have an encyclopedia article, if reliable source coverage about them isn't substantive enough to make them more than just a WP:BLP1E. And if you're his nephew, then you have a conflict of interest and should not be editing the article at all — your relationship with the subject does not entitle you to an exemption from having to follow Wikipedia's rules and regulations.

WP:BLP, with some overtones of advertorial rather than encyclopedic presentation (we don't give a flying monkey what musical instrument manufacturing companies endorsed him, frex), of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and precious little reliable source coverage to support it -- with the exception of one 100-word blurb in one newspaper, the referencing here is entirely to primary sources. As always, "he exists" is not how a musician gets a Wikipedia article -- RS coverage, supporting a credible claim of notability, is how he gets a Wikipedia article, but nothing here satisfies either part of that equation.

Academic whois an american associate professor which does not usually convey inherent notability. He has published widely as would be expected and won an award from a learned society but nothing here speaks to significant notability as an academic. Velella Velella Talk 21:58, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Notability guidelines for academics met as per Wikipedia
As per Wiki guidelines on notability, Urban has received "significant awards or honors" including his research highlighted as #15 in the top 100 discoveries of 2015 in the world Discover Magazine, and receiving both Presidential Award and Young Investigator awards from American Society of Naturalists, the top biological professional society in the US.
As per Wikipedia guidelines on notability, Urban has made "widely recognized contributions to field" in his work on extinctions from global warming, which was referenced from another wikipedia page extinction risk from global warming and coverage by international print and televised media: New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, BBC, Associated Press, National Geographic, etc. His work has also been independently and secondarily covered in top international scientific journals, including Science and Nature.

- Comment currently undecided - like nominator I found mostly trivial stock mentions [20], [21], which by itself isn't enough of course. I did find some local coverage [22], [23], again not enough for WP:Notability alone, but it makes me wonder if there is more. I'll search again after I add them to the page. Yvarta (talk) 21:27, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Keep although not by much. It seems only Tulsa World finds AAON interesting enough to cover regularly, and less so The Oklahoman, but with the former the coverage is extensive, with some sources I haven't bothered adding to the page as well [24], [25], [26]. I'm not particularly excited to be banking my vote on only one publication, but the newspaper is high profile and reputable on a state level (I won't go so far as to say national, although I've encountered the newspaper before). Yvarta (talk) 22:09, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Comment From wp:corp "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local (as in - with a circulation limited to a single city or metropolitan area) media, or media of limited interest and circulation (such as trade journals), is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." Which I think makes this a "maybe" in terms of coverage. Plus, generally, references from the same source (newspaper) generally are considered a single source for notability purposes.

The company and its corporate predecessors and spinoffs have been important in their industries—and in the Oklahoma economy—going back some 90 years, and remain so; AAON has also gotten significant coverage in business media (see the HighBeam search results for examples).

trivial awards, and no other evidence of notability. DGG ( talk ) 03:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Rather marginal, but the article doesn't make the best case for notability, not covering, from the single NLM ref: "Dr. Mitchell has written more than fifty articles and book chapters related to her areas of specialization. She has received two major grant awards from the Centers for Disease Control, one for a perinatal HIV and Aids education and reduction demonstration project from 1988 to 1992 and the other to study pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes of African-American women in the United States from 1993 to 1997. In 1993 she chaired the consensus panel to develop the Pregnant, Substance-abusing Women, Treatment Improvement Protocol for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the United States Department of Health and Human Services." Have other sources been looked for? Johnbod (talk) 13:56, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: Notability is clearly established, even though there IS a need for more sources and improvement of the article. By the way, this is one of Keilana's articles, and I know she was creating at a rather fast pace. Montanabw(talk) 19:58, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Very clear BEFORE wasn't done. Notability is established by the National Institute of Health bio, but in addition, we have NY Times article about African-American women's mortality, Mount Holyoke College Newsletter indicating she was honored by the National Library of Medicine, Journal of Equity in Health states Mitchell ran the “largest prenatal program for pregnant drug addicted women in NYC” and successfully lobbied the NIH to include black women in drug trials for AIDS, Congressional hearings show she was called as an expert witness on children and HIV hearings held before the U.S. Congress, not overly important, but her marriage was included in the NY Times too.

- Keep – per Montanabw and SusunW. Improvement is possible through sources discovered. MWright96 (talk) 07:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I continue to consider none of the significant honors, including the NIH listing. That listing is intended for the very important purpose of promoting and encouraging women in medicine, but it does not establish notability; promotionalism is promotionalism , however worthy the cause. There is no evidence that "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.". This is judged by citation , not by publicity. h factor without considering the field, but in this case a value of 10 is much too low for the subject field.
- discussions of reverse bias are difficult here-- or anywhere. this afd is to some extent a probe, to see what are current standards are. I advocate flexibility in interpreting the standards for underrepresented groups, I don't support doing away with them altogether. The accomplishments are not in my opinion sufficient--they look like stretching every reason--giving testimony before a congressional hearing does not establish notability--in fact, it's our normal practice to eliminate such material from articles as altogether too minor. A marriage announcement in the NYT once used to indicate a certain social position, but not the sort of notability that an obit there does. DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- COMMENT Regardless of what you consider or what your actions are, they are not as you summarize above within policy or guideline, DGG.
- 1) WP:ACADEMIC "is explicitly listed as an alternative to GNG". Not required under any circumstance, nor does it require that she have received rewards of any kind.
- 2) Nowhere in either of those guidelines is there even a mention of using an h-index to judge notability. In fact, the article linked above by Xxanthippe states "Little systematic investigation has been made on how academic recognition correlates with h-index over different institutions, nations and fields of study." I also see no discussion in the article we have on the index to indicate what its limitations are to scientists from the pre-internet age, as most of Mitchell's work was, (nor as a side note, how the index accounts for people who may have had name changes). Regardless, the Notability standard for academics, which ironically you are implying is the applicable standard in this case, specifically cautions NOT to use it Measures of citability such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. They should be approached with caution.
- 3) We do not typically remove information, regardless of whether it is trivial, if it is non contentious as for a BLP, or if it is documented by a RS. In fact, we are actually encouraged to string sources together to add weight and meet significant coverage requirements. While your assessment of the testimony before Congress is that it is trivial, in this case, the testimony was in regard to a public health crisis and a need to quickly establish public health policy for a disease that at the time was little understood and had reached epidemic proportions. That she was singled out with a handful of others from all the physicians in the U.S. clearly says she had something to add to the development of policy. Thus not trivial. The information is not contentious, it is independent from her, and summaries from the Congressional meetings surely meet the threshold of RS.
- 4) Family data is also trivial (as I noted above unimportant for establishing notability), but is typically included in biographical sketches, though omitted from resumés, as long as it is not contentious, independent from her and from a RS. That bar has been met by the NY Times. SusunW (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- COMMENT Regardless of what you consider or what your actions are, they are not as you summarize above within policy or guideline, DGG.
- Keep. I disagree with DGG's analysis of this person's notability. She obviously gained fame more generally than that allowed by "rules" based on strictly academic criteria.--Ipigott (talk) 10:28, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Excellent work done sourcing notability by SusunW , leads to a WP:HEY and a good critical look at use of h index. Passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

By all means a non-notable local car company as my searches are not finding anything actually better than local news mentions and event listings; nothing at all substantial. SwisterTwister talk 01:01, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to the parent company, Penske Automotive Group, which is definitely notable. It is just a local car dealership. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

My searches found absolutely nothing. I cannot confirm the existence of the subject, and I'm not even sure exactly what it's supposed to be. Adam9007 (talk) 00:59, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as hoax. The article appears to refer to some sort of TV reality/competition show, but the program does not exist. Much of the article, including the graph at the bottom, is blatant name-change plagiarism of Food Network Star (season 11). Calamondin12 (talk) 01:19, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Promotional article with no sources for notability. His only possible claim to notability is as founder of Seagate Fund, but we seem not to have an article on it. The references are either mere listings, of short notices like ref 4, or don't even mention him , like 3 and 6. DGG ( talk ) 00:18, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete per GNG, CORP, or ORG because the European Diving School hasn't received significant coverage in any reliable sources, let alone the multiple, independent ones required by the guidelines. Rebbing 05:12, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Just wanted to help other instructors at dive centers and let them know that this really existed. It took me whole day to find out what it was. Finally we had to accept their card and it all gone right. Since it's not notable by wikipedia's means, feel free to Delete Tharrrk (talk) 10:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
