According to the obituary in a local paper, Ayres was an Army officer "temporarily assigned to the CIA to train anti-Castro exiles in South Florida" in early 1963. I believe that much to be true. Apparently this tenuous link to the CIA gave him credibility among a) a few of the conspiracy-minded when he published a whodunit of the JFK assassination and b) others (i.e. Shane O'Sullivan) who say that Ayres looked at a photo and confirmed the presence of a conspirator in RFK assassination. For good or bad, there is no significant coverage about his claims in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. The Wikipedia article cites a local paper stating that he set an ascent record of Mt. Whitney, but this is something easily refuted by a quick Google search. Location (talk) 23:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- James Carter IV (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)
Mostly-procedural nom after a WP:REFUND. As the PROD contended, Mr. Carter entered the public eye briefly after discovering the 47% video, but is otherwise not particularly notable, so this strikes me as a case of WP:BLP1E. Notability is also not inherited so while it's interesting that he's Jimmy Carter's grandson, it's also not relevant to his notability. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:00, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect to Jimmy Carter, where James is briefly mentioned. Smartyllama (talk) 16:54, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect to Jimmy Carter, notability conferred by anything I can read or find on the page is very near zero, but because he was the grandson of a president, his name might be a useful search term. Note that WP:NOTINHERITED does permit articles for individuals whose sole claim to notability, provided that coverage of them passes WP:GNG. This covers people like Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith (whose unremarkable life garnered decades of coverage because he was the last living descendant of Abraham Lincoln), Amy Carter, and Columba Bush. They, unlike Carter IV, have sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:03, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

- Anatole de Bengy (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)
PROD'd by me, de-PROD'd with no reason given aside from "removing PROD". The subject's main claim to importance is that he was a Jesuit martyr massacred along with 70 others in 1871. The group is clearly notable as a whole, however, I can't find any sources that discuss de Bengy specifically and in-depth as an individual, aside from the Catholic Encyclopedia.
The source that's been added to the article is a blog, so it doesn't qualify as WP:RS. It doesn't cite its sources so there is nothing to follow up on from there. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:53, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Catholic Encyclopedia is enough to demonstrate independent notability, even if we were to want another source for neutrality. StAnselm (talk) 03:13, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Merge to Martyrs of the Paris Commune, which is currently a redirect to Paris Commune, but should be a substantive one. That target is a general article, where the martyrdoms are not (or hardly) mentioned. Unless considered for canonisation, each martyr is probably individually NN, but collectively the subject is probably one that deserves an article. This one currently has two sources of which Catholic Encyclopedia is certainly RS. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- As nom I'm 100% on board with a merge to an expanded Martyrs of the Paris Commune article. FWIW I'm not disputing that CE is reliable, but that as a single source it doesn't satisfy GNG (at least in my opinion). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 18:14, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- I would not oppose keeping if this were filled out. In reading the article, I assumed there would be little else about his life. I was thinking we would end off with the martyrs article containing a list. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:48, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: Once again, for an article to pass AfD sources only have to exist, they don't have to be in the article. As it turns out, there are lots of nineteenth-century French sources, as a GBooks search shows. Which is why he made it into the CE in the first place - his memoirs were published the year he died, and seem to have been well received. StAnselm (talk) 18:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Clearly passes WP:V, WP:NOR, and with more sources clearly available on google books, would pass WP:NPOV, if it doesn't already. Smmurphy(Talk) 19:25, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Weak keep for now. I would prefer a merge into a more substanial article on the Martyrs of the Paris Commune, but until that happens, this article should be kept as having demonstrated notability. If someone creates the new article, this should be able to be speedily merged/redirected. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:47, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Non-notable law firm that fails WP:N by both not having in depth coverage in reliable sources as understood by WP:CORPDEPTH and by being excluded by WP:NOTSPAM as existing to serve the purpose of promoting the law firm with promotional language. Coverage is limited to passing mentions in articles about clients the firm has had, not about the firm itself. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Plenty of reliable sources and evidence that this law firm - with 100 employees - is notable.--Geewhiz (talk) 06:27, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment its certainly possible that I missed foreign-language sources, but could some be provided for us to analyze? If they do exist, I'm more than happy to withdraw the nomination because I feel very strongly that systemic bias is wrong, and linguistic bias is one part of this. The soures that are currently in the article are about their clients (from what I can tell on Google Translate) or are not RS. I also don't consider having 100+ employees necessarily indicative of notability. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:08, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- There are approx. 220+ Google-news hits in Hebrew (576 raw count - 22 pages of results) - [1]. Many of these are regarding cases they are involved in, but there are some more in-depth pieces on the firm (mainly when partners leave/join/restructure etc.).Icewhiz (talk) 14:20, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- I would say that in the case of a law firm, the clientele does mean something. In this field, I would say having notable clients and handling high profile cases is certainly evidence of a law firm's standing (and hence notability). And I am fairly certain that a law firm with a staff of 100 is not at all run-of-the-mill, at least not in Israel.--Geewhiz (talk) 15:08, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm, from what I can make out from the Google News and translate, I don't see anything that would lead me to think it should be kept if it were a US based firm. Do you have any specific articles that you could reference? Nothing in the article currently seems to meet the GNG for a firm from any country. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:56, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Keep Meets point 2. from WP:NHOCKEY Played one or more games in an amateur league considered, through lack of a professional league, the highest level of competition extant by playing in NZIHL as well as playing for New Zealand National Team even if it wasn't in the top pool for World Championship, I think between the two things it is enough for him to have a page. NZ Footballs Conscience(talk) 01:21, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Delete Fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG. The New Zealand League is not considered a professional league of the caliber to satisfy point 2 (see WP:NHOCKEY/LA; "highest level of competition extant" means in the world, not in a country). Also, the consensus has long been established that it has to be in the top level for the World Championship to satisfy point 6 (which NHOCKEY explicitly states). Ravendrop 06:56, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Recently recreated article deleted twice before at AfD. CSD declined due to differing content. It is nonetheless still not a notable concept. On one hand it is one of the -phobias that gets a brief mentioned in various lists of [various prefixes] + phobia. On the other hand it's used to mean misandry. Would also be appropriate to simply redirect to list of phobias, where it is already listed (and doesn't need additional detail). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. One of the problems with phobias is that it's possible to snowclone an absolutely limitless number of words for new phobias, simply by attaching a Latin or Greek prefix to -phobia, to define an irrational fear of absolutely anything that exists. So to make this a notable concept that would warrant an encyclopedia article, what would be needed is not mere dictionary definitions, which is all that's present for referencing here — we would need actual substance to suggest that this term actually has real-world context, such as sources which discuss it in depth as a concept and analyze actual examples of the purported phobia in action. Boilerplate dictionary definitions of what it technically means as a term aren't enough to merit an encyclopedia article by themselves, if we can't show any substance beyond that.

There's definitely some personal spite in the whole thing and I have to agree it's sheer vandalism Asouko (talk) 02:54, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- Strong delete. Both users above is authors of article and active promoters of band, possibly members. So I suggest simply to ignore their "votes". The only "argument" they mentioned is "airing on BBC 6 radio" once. Clearly, no one "noted" it and it wasn't played again.

- Wikipedia isn't staffed by "experts" in any music genre – even if it were, they would still have to follow the guidelines under WP:NALBUM and WP:NSONG to determine whether an article about an album or a song passes the notability criteria, so yes, you are correct, it's not personal opinion on what's notable, it's complying with Wikipedia guidelines. At the moment there is no evidence that any of the AfD'd articles about Phase pass those criteria. The song "Point of You" was not on "rotation" at BBC 6 Music, it was included on a downloadable mix tape and there is no evidence that Tom Robinson played it more than once on his show. Yes, please do start pasting links from reliable sources (no blogs, or the fact that you can buy the records on iTunes or Amazon or Spotify) that prove the articles' notability, that's exactly what would help to keep them.

- I meant admins that have experience in editing music articles or have a good background in the music status quo or listening to such music at least, and they are so many out there... they can tell a notable band, etc when they see it... Like knowing when a band is headlining in such and such venue they are notable or when that producer mentions them they are etc. I will take the extra mile and do some pasting, but now that the ' millennial style comment war' ceased I am not that bothered to be honest, I am sure the author and one of the main editors of the article, will paste some links too. MusicPatrol (talk) 03:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
- But a band's notability for a Wikipedia article isn't defined by an editor being able to "tell a notable band" or "knowing when a band is headlining"... that's an editor's personal opinion, not Wikipedia guidelines for notability as stated in WP:NALBUM or WP:NSONG.

- Right, so here you can listen Nick Roberts talking about how he played the song's remix, and most likely he played the original song in the past but BBC will let you know only about the last time it's played, and it only makes sense as it's their local show Phase Point of you remix on BBC if some one from London listened and played it while he normally wouldn't... here you will listen to Tom Robinson himself explaining how it works Tom Robinson's lecture on music industry, while normal radio plays are payed for by the artist's or their representatives.

- How does it meet the notability criteria for WP:NSONG? "Multiple, non-trivial mentions in reliable sources" – nope. The BBC 6 Music page is a mirror of the Wikipedia page for the band so it's not a valid source. The Fresh on the Net and BBC North East references simply list the song as part of a track listing. The other two references are not RS. It hasn't charted, it hasn't won any awards, and it hasn't been covered by notable artists. So I don't see anywhere that it passes the notability criteria. Richard3120 (talk) 15:51, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
- it's not about the bio sourced from wikipedia, it's a bout the songs last played on BBC!!
- Also on the North East link you can hear the show and the producer talking about the song and it included blah blah... Please look intp the links through if you want to comment on them, else I don't see the point of discussing anything, it's easier to destroy than build, anything...

- You've already voted once above, you shouldn't vote "keep" again. And you keep saying "there is material for it in the internet and in magazines", but there isn't any proof of that. Inclusion on a mixtape is not notable. Being played on a BBC radio station is not notable, otherwise every song ever played on the BBC would be notable - and as I've already pointed out, that link to the BBC North East programme is no longer available, so nobody can now access it to confirm that song was played. So other sources are required to prove notability. Richard3120 (talk) 23:17, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
comment I don't know if I should edit the page above the 'relisted convesrsation message' to add a strikethrough but I am changing the vote to merge, although I think it passes the music notability criteria, some equally and more important singles don't have their own pages, and the merge will only improve the album's page although it is as well currently contested MusicPatrol (talk) 11:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

The article notes:
Mr. Ventura founded Sub Rosa, then called Seed, in late 2004 as an exclusively digital agency. At the time that meant building microsites for smaller clients, Mr. Ventura said. Among the agency's first large clients was Mtn Dew; Seed hatched the noted Green Label Art campaign, which would help expand the beverage brand beyond its extreme-sports roots.
...
The shop began offering video and experiential services to more big-brand clients, including Estée Lauder, Diesel and Absolut, and by 2008 had grown to a staff of 30 led by four partners.
...
In late 2008 Seed was also in preliminary acquisition talks, but the price wasn't right. Mr. Ventura eventually bought out his other partners, renamed the shop Sub Rosa and scaled back to fewer than a dozen staff members, which he said is more conducive to the agency's efforts to focus on interaction. (He said this restructuring wasn't reflective of the poor economy, and maintains that it has always been profitable.)
...
Sub Rosa also partnered with General Electric on a series of product installations for one of the energy giant's recent conferences, where it announced the expansion of its "Ecomagination" initiatives. These included a demonstration of a GE wind turbine through the production of an actual 15-foot-long cloud, onto which wind-power statistics were projected.

The article notes:
Ten years ago, at the tender age of 23, Michael Ventura started his own digital shop after being laid off from an agency job. It was a time when scrappy, little digital agencies were becoming attractive to some brands that wanted to try stuff that their traditional agencies wouldn’t do.
Fast forward to today, and Ventura’s agency Sub Rosa isn’t so scrappy anymore: it now employs 45 people, and over the last year, its business grew by 361 percent — and it’s no longer just a digital shop.

The article notes:
Seed is the name of the company before it was renamed to Sub Rosa according to this article from Advertising Age.This is how Manhattan boutique Seed Communications, in its mere eight months of existence, has grown to manage about 45 accounts. That's about three times the number of staffers it employs. And while many are small assignments for small brands, others aren't.
...
Seed is doing product-placement and urban-influencer work for Reebok, it's talking to Vonage about an online viral project, and it's worked on media relations for video-game maker Ubisoft. This week, Seed-a collection of agency types and the aforementioned hip-hop magazine editors-spreads itself into editorial content with the launch of Inked, a quarterly magazine designed to give the tattooed something significantly more upscale than the old-school biker-oriented publications now on racks.

- Delete as the above sources are still fundamentally founded in press releases and primaries, see Ventura founded Sub Rosa, Ventura said, Although the agency's, The shop began offering, Ventura eventually bought, Sub Rosa also partnered with, Michael Ventura started his own digital shop, it now employs 45 people, and....", "....manage about 45 accounts....number of staffers it employs....", "it's talking to Vonage about an online viral project, and it's worked on media relations for video-game maker Ubisoft"; none of that is actually meaningful for notability since it says we need independent coverage of the company's own publishings, therefore their own name stamped on it is certainly not that. I also noticed a heavy similarity between sources 1 and 2 yet they were 3 years apart and a different publisher, that can only mean one thing and it's the company's authorship. Next, our notability and policies make clear we need multiple sources for notability so, even this, as thin as they are wouldn't be significant. While the Keep offers GNG as a basis, that page actually says A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." and I see nothing as to why this company is exempt from it.

I found another review of the album and have included a good deal more content in the article to show that discussion of the album has happened by outside sources, and that the album is musically significant (especially as the Fishmans' final album). I would also like to argue that the WP:OSE argument that I invoked in my removal or the PROD tag is valid in this case (after all, the OSE page states that OSE arguments can be "valid or invalid"). The OSE page also states that:
"In general, these deletion debates should focus mainly on the nominated article. In consideration of precedent and consistency, though, identifying articles of the same nature that have been established and continue to exist on Wikipedia may provide extremely important insight into the general concept of notability, levels of notability"
In light of this, I would like to cite two other independent articles that are directly relevant to the deletion debate of Uchu Nippon Setagaya: King Master George and Neo Yankees' Holiday. These articles are for two of the Fishans' earlier albums, meaning that they are certainly "of the same nature" as the Uchu Nippon Setagaya article. Neither of these two other articles cite any sources other than a Rateyourmusic link. In fact, KMG and NYH are generally thought to be significantly lesser in quality and significance than Uchu Nippon Setagaya, and much less has been written about them. Indeed, I was not able to find a single credible review of either, other than the user reviews found on websites like Rateyourmusic. On the Uchu Nippon Setagaya article, I have found and cited two credible reviews of the album. It is my understanding that two independent sources non-trivially covering a topic is enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Furthermore, since these other two albums are part of the very same discography as Uchu Nippon Setagaya, I would argue that they represent valid examples for the invocation of the "Other Stuff Exists" argument. Since they both have their own independent articles with far fewer sources (and words) than the Uchu Nippon Setagaya article (and are less significant than Uchu Nippon Setagaya both aesthetically and in terms of the number of independent sources that cover them), I urge you to allow Uchu Nippon Setagaya to stay.
Thank you for your consideration of this case. --FindingEllipsoids (talk) 05:58, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- FindingEllipsoids which "independent" reviews are you talking about? I only see one that may be independent and reliable. The rest are user reviews and blogs, hardly significant coverage. Bringing up their other albums, which you claim are of lesser significance, is not a good argument. In fact, if they are less notable than this unnotable album they probably should be deleted too.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:43, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- TheGracefulSlick the problem here is that Fishmans is a very obscure band here in the west, however, they are relatively popular in the Japanese underground scene along with a number of other influential Japanese artists that remain almost entirely unknown in the west, such as The Gerogerigegege, or slightly more well known, Boredoms, the ladder of whom you might be familiar with as a fan of psychedelic rock yourself. There are more than likely credible reviews for the record, but finding any from a real publication in English is quite a grueling task, which I know as a big fan of the band myself. Pzionic (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- TheGracefulSlick I have added more references. In particular, I have done some digging into Japanese sources, of which there were more than I anticipated. The album has definitely been covered by the Japanese media. Particularly credible is Onojima Daigaku's article (http://www.phileweb.com/review/article/201611/30/2320.html). This in conjunction with the David James review seems enough to merit an article. Additionally, "Magic Love," a song from the album, was used as the outro of a popular Japenese music show, Count Down TV. According to criterion #5 of Wikipedia's music recording notability guidelines ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Recordings ), if a recording "was performed in a medium that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show," it is likely considered notable. I have added a new section about popular culture references where I mention the fact that part of the album served as an ending theme of a TV show. This, in conjunction with the independent coverage I listed earlier, surely must be enough for the album to be notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. I just want this article to stay. If there is something specific at this point that is missing that continues to make the article deletable, please let me know so that I can do digging in that area. Although the article is relatively obscure in the West, it is much less so in Japan. Japanese Wikipedia has had a freestanding article on the album since 2011 (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%87%E5%AE%99_%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC_%E4%B8%96%E7%94%B0%E8%B0%B7). For the love of obscure but important (and still credible) music, what more can/should I do to prove this album worthy of its own article? --FindingEllipsoids (talk) 17:38, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- @FindingEllipsoids: here is how your rationale is still flawed: the Japanese source is an interview with a band member which is a primary source, not a secondary one. Using the appearance of "Magic Love" on a TV show is also flawed since we are not talking about the notability of an individual song but rather the album as a whole. The Japanese page on this album is also sparsely sourced so that does not strengthen your argument either.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:35, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

- timtempleton No amazon reviews of the album? Now, that is simply untrue.[1][2]Pzionic (talk) 05:54, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - I believe it passes WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM criterion #2. Snoozer (February 1998, page 21) placed it at number 18 on its list of the "50 Best Albums of the Year". I've also found another review written by 鹿野淳 at Rockin'on (August 1997, page 182). There seems to be more coverage at ROCKIN'ON JAPAN (August 1997) [6]. In 2016, the album peaked at number 121 on the オリコンチャート chart [7]. 153.164.172.173 (talk) 20:54, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Note - This IP has made no other edits beside casting a vote. Regardless, their rationale is flawed since Snoozer is not a notable listing according to WP:NMUSIC and number 121 on the Orion charts is equivalent to "bubbling under" the Billboard charts.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:31, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Note - The source doesn't have to be necessarily notable. As stated at WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM, which is a part of WP:NMUSIC, the source just has to be reliable, not self-published, and independent of the band. At the very least, Snoozer, Rockin'on, and ROCKIN'ON JAPAN meet these conditions. Additionally, appearing on the オリコンチャート chart, which is the one listed on WP:GOODCHART, is equivalent to appearing on the Billboard 200 chart. WP:NALBUM criterion #2 is: "The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart". It doesn't matter whether if the album reached number 1 on the chart or number 200 on the chart. 153.205.43.69 (talk) (I'm the same as 153.164.172.173) 06:20, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

- For the record, the オリコンチャート chart ranks the 300 most popular music albums in Japan, published weekly by Oricon [8]. That's why I stated that appearing at number 121 on the chart is equivalent to appearing on, not "bubbling under", the Bilboard 200 chart.

That event is over, and so are the discussions/memes about it: recent mentions are just that, mentions. These handshakes are an ongoing thing.

I have to agree: this article is in violation of WP:NOTNEWS/WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Unless a person is primarily (or even particularly) known for his handshakes other than momentarily, his handshakes don't merit a standalone article. This is a WP:POVFORK of Donlad Trump. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:31, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

This is even better than denigrate world leaders by coming late to meetings (that is what Putin does). Yes, maybe that belongs to another page - I have no strong opinion.

Mlewan (talk) 06:01, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep (as Nominator) This article has been greatly improved since nomination. It has had numerous content additions since initiating debate, and the references have increased by a factor of ten. Most importantly, the article now clearly defines how the subject of the article can and does have relevant foreign policy implications. Sleyece (talk) 06:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Absurdly trivial. Everything involving Trump receives intense coverage but we cannot have articles on all things Trump. Based on the ridiculous coverage it generated, we could create an article on the number of scoops of ice cream he receives, but the encyclopedia wouldn't benefit from that and it doesn't benefit from this either. Merge to Donald Trump in popular culture as we did with Donald Trump's hair.LM2000 (talk) 08:26, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep While absurdly trivial (though perhaps not completely trivial, as this is notable as a power play - just as Hafez al-Assad's bladder diplomacy was in the 80s and 90s ([9] [10]) - it is a subject that is given quite some coverage in WP:RS and has risen to the point where opposing world leaders prepare scripted responses for said handshake and coverage. Absurdly trivial things, if they received WP:SIGCOV are notable.Icewhiz (talk) 12:12, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- No, they're not. From the same section you link to: topics meeting GNG are "presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article ... 'Presumed' means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." In other words, a ton of topics may meet GNG but are still excluded because they fail WP:NOT. I would think that "absurdly trivial" things are not what general encyclopedias are for. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - When I first saw this, my knee-jerk reaction was that it should be deleted. But I was quickly persuaded to reverse my position by the significant number of quality reliable sources where the handshake is the primary topic. It easily passes WP:GNG, it is inoffensive, and so it should remain. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:49, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as trivial. The plethora of news analysis only shows how little the news has to report. Yoninah (talk) 14:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Plenty of media attention on this and gives insights into Trump's personality. --Penbat (talk) 22:10, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. There is not a single plausible or encyclopedic reason why this would need a separate article from his existing BLP, any more than his hair (which was also attempted as a standalone article a few months ago, I remind y'all) would. Sources were shown to attempt an argument that his hair passed GNG as a standalone topic too, but that doesn't mean it actually does — it's an aspect of the fact that he's a topic, not a separate topic in its own right independently of him. Bearcat (talk) 23:33, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I struggle with the fact that nearly every citation is either to opinion or speculation on this page. The National Review article cited on the page offers a glimpse about the trivial nature of the interaction. The article states, "Our political culture seems to have a pathological fixation with the peculiar personalities of our politicians" and "Each handshake, each tap on the shoulder or rub on the back, presents a new opportunity to spend hours poring over the footage, playing it in slow-motion or in reverse, performing biblical hermeneutics on Macron’s body language, the tensions of his torso under his suit, the minute flexing of the muscles in his wrist at the crucial moment. Statecraft becomes the lowbrow drama of Big Brother." The article concludes that there is a "intense fascination" with the personality quirks of the president, but that fascination leads to less focus on real policy issues. If there is an encyclopedic article here, it is about the media's (and the public's) obsession with the personality quirks of the president. --Enos733 (talk) 00:56, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Your argument pretty much makes the case for inclusion, by noting the media's intense focus on the subject matter of the handshakes. Banal or insipid or silly or whatever, the media has made this into a notable story by the very nature of its coverage, significant coverage which has persisted over time, is found in reliable sources, and is independent of the subject. All the bullet points of the WP:GNG have been hit. TheValeyard (talk) 04:29, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Agreed. The quote compares it with Big Brother, a topic on which proudly have 740 separate articles. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Every government in every country in the world has or will have a memo on Donald Trump's handshakes. That fact alone makes this an important article. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

- One essay does not get round the fact that this is trivial rubbish. It's a non-subject, and just because lazy-arsed journalists have to fill space and copy what everyone else is doing, does not mean it is a fit subject for an encyclopaedia. If you really want to play policy bingo with alphabetti-spaghetti, UNDUE, NOTNEWS are two, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. - SchroCat (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC. TheValeyard (talk) 04:23, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Weak delete. The article is highly amusing and there is a surprisingly large corpus of reliable sources on the subject, but this article clears falls under WP:PRESENTISM. We do not have articles about unusual quirks of people from the ancient world. Plato is said have worn an earring in one ear as a young man, Alcibiades is said to have spoken with a lisp, and Plutarch even tells us that Alexander the Great's sweat smelled like roses, but we do not have articles about Plato's earring, Alcibiades's lisp, or Alexander the Great's sweat. I see no reason why we should have an article Donald Trump's handshakes either. --Katolophyromai (talk) 04:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I see !votes here pointing out how much press there is about this, or how many references the article has. But a look at the article shows that the vast majority of the text and the references are about a single handshake event, that between Trump and Macron. By my count there are only five out of the 31 references that predate Macron. The article is now so padded that we have eight different references about Trump's comment that "Macron loves holding my hand," and five to document that Macron said his handshake was "not innocent." Yes, the press went nuts over this, but that doesn't mean we have to dignify it with an article. --MelanieN (talk) 20:06, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - this is only a minor aspect of Trump's life, unrelated to Trump's administration of his policy or his negotiations with other world leaders. Would we have articles on handshakes of other well-known figures, simply because they are in the public eye?Vorbee (talk) 14:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I am not moved by the number of available sources. It is unfortunate that some media outlets have fallen into the habit of hysterically over-analyzing and critiquing anything and everything related to Trump. We do not need to jump off the deep end just because they have done so. This is the very definition of trivial and unencyclopedic. Lepricavark (talk) 01:00, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Meme-able but unfortunately not long-term notable. I doubt this is even encyclopedic as well. epicgenius (talk) 02:14, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. As much as I am revolted by the proliferation of trivial articles pertaining to US politics, this is not shite, IMO. It's a pretty big deal, which has invited commentary not just from pundits, and which seems to be something that many are looking for now whenever Trump meets someone. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep – At first I thought this should be deleted. But there is an overwhelming amount of sources that are about his handshakes. This passes our notability threshold. Folks claiming it is "trivial" aren't addressing the fact that this is widely covered in the media in great detail. MX (✉ • ✎) 13:41, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- MX, I trust you didn't see my comment above, where I discussed precisely the issue that it is "widely covered in great detail", showing that the vast majority of it is about one incident, and that the references in the article are very redundant. --MelanieN (talk) 17:16, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

The more relevant point is that there's no good merge target. Foreign policy of Donald Trump may be the best one, as the Trump-Macron handshakes appear to have gotten the most press coverage, and the rituals of staged events involving heads of state are sometimes notable (Socialist fraternal kiss).

On the other side, we have solid policies and guidelines like WP:PRESERVE, WP:GNG and WP:CENSOR. And there is plenty of precedent as all the other presidents have whimsical articles such as:

- Keep. While the subject is pretty silly in my view, it's not nearly as silly as the subjects of many other articles on Wikipedia. Sure, I wish the editors who have contributed to the article would devote their time to more serious politics articles, and sure, it makes Wikipedia seem a bit petty. But I also wish the editors who devote their time to the absurd minutiae of videogames and obscure television characters would do the same thing. It makes me cringe each time one of those articles is brushed up to FA status and featured on the front page, and we're not about to delete those sorts of things. I see no reason to hold the politics space to a higher standard. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 20:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. I find this to actually be an important subject. Its a very visible part of his personality and, ever since he became president, his presidency. There are countless news articles about it. And though it may seem silly at first glance, diving deeper you can find a lot of legitimacy to the existence of this article. I vote a very strong keep. ⊕Assasin Joe talk 00:01, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Also just echoing what Andrew said, there are visible parts of other president's personality and presidency that might seem equally silly at first glance. It makes a lot of sense to have this article. ⊕Assasin Joe talk 00:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

It's a rather small set of editors that predictably generate this paparazzi-like coverage. We don't need in depth coveage of handshakes. Every president has handshake photo-ops and it is not notable enough for an article, even for such larger-than-life personas like Trump. --DHeyward (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Merge and redirect: I looked up third-party sources for this topic and found a handful of them with some coverage:
- A few paragraphs in The Debian Administrator's Handbook (online version)
- Discussion of FusionForge as part of the work of Software Heritage from the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation here
- Discussion of FusionForge as part of the work of Software Heritage in Hérault Tribune.
- Post from a company with good analysis of project history.
It's not enough for notability for its own article, but the content would be suitable to move into a section of GForge and redirect the article there, so that we retain the verifiable information in an appropriate place. Dreamyshade (talk) 17:40, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- FusionForge contributor proposition:
- As main FusionForge contributor, it would be nice to keep FusionForge page or if needed to get more visibility than be redirected to a dead project (aka GForge open source flavor). What about merging GForge into FusionForge and redirect GForge page to Fusionforge and create a dedicated page for GForge AS which is a totally different project than GForge?
- Some french communication about FusionForge: https://linuxfr.org/tags/fusionforge/public
- Most GForge reference are dead or are running FusionForge.
- Nerville (talk) 13:14, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- That's an interesting idea - it makes sense that FusionForge would be more likely than GForge to get additional press in the future. I'd be fine with consolidating GForge into FusionForge instead of the other way around. I think the combination would result in an article that's meaty enough to be a decent Wikipedia article. Probably GForge AS would just be a side-note on the resulting article, instead of having its own article, unless there are a lot of sources available for it. Dreamyshade (talk) 01:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- 'Merge GForge page into Fusionforge page: I'm fine with merging GForge page into FusionForge. That makes sense to consolidate the information into one single article. GForge AS could be a dedicated paragraph. How could we proceed? Nerville (talk) 07:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- This AfD needs more comments from other people before there can be a consensus decision, so while we're waiting for that, I'd recommend fleshing out the FusionForge page as much as you can: first add information from the references listed here, and then start bringing in some of the material from the GForge article. That way the article will be in a stronger state, which makes a better case for keeping it like that instead of deleting it. Dreamyshade (talk) 19:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Especially for someone whose work came before the internet, a New York Times obituary that summarizes its subject's career and expressly describes him as "an authority on legal ethics" stands as solid evidence of notability. More information about his work for the ACLU, such as his part in the organization's heavily-contested WW2-era policies and his later effort to adopt a constitutional amendment to incorporate all of the Bill of Rights into the 14th Amendment, can be found in books such as [11] and [12]. The Times description of him as a legal ethics scholar is supported by repeated references to his book in legal cases, bar opinions, and legal publications. [13] --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep:
- The argument "I found more info on a sex offender" is no argument when it comes to online search: whoever made this comment seems very inexperienced when it comes to weighing "online" vs "pre-online" reputation. Please think more carefully before making such statements. Further, one reason to create an entry like this one is precisely to create an "online" reputation for someone who is clearly more "notable" than the sex offender mentioned above.

This article is essentially a recreation of Six (TV series), but filled with formatting/styling errors, poor grammar/tone, copyright violations, unencyclopedic phrasing, multiple MOS:TV violations. The editor in question, PemGateway, doesn't seem to understand basic policy and gudelines, especially when it comes to editing TV articles. If you look at the edit history of Six (TV series), you'll see the editor in question make mass edits containing multiple errors, then myself having to come by and constantly clean it up and bring the article back to basic Wikipedia standards. The editor is basically creating "their version" of the article, albeit a very poor one. There does not need to be two articles, any information can be added to Six (TV series). Edit: Another editor, Launchballer previously put it up for deletion, but PemGateway deleted the notice. Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:40, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Usually, TV-page etiquette follows a path of main, episode-list page, then notable season articles.

Draftify - Actually, it doesn't appear it was ever "accepted". The editor felt that it no longer needed to be evaluated, and simply moved the article to mainspace, despite not addressing those referencing issues. After that move another editor simply "reviewed" it. Brief history, it was sent back to draft as a result of an earlier AfD, where it continued to be declined due to referencing issues. The latest decline was on July 7, again for improper sourcing. The difference between that last decline and the current article can be seen here. A lot of references doesn't make someone notable. I think it's a good thing for the community to take a look - especially since this editor has put so much work into it.Onel5969 TT me 12:01, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Draftify In October 2016, this article was changed to a redirect due to lack of sourcing then changed back to an article in February 2017 [17]. It was changed to a redirect later in February 2017, as an unsourced BLP and as an alternative to deletion [18]. Bmegrl9113 began to add content with the redirect still in place [19] and the reidrect was removed by someone else [20]. It was prodded on the same day [21].
On the next day, Bmegrl9113 began to add content while still prodded, which is acceptable [22], but apparently the sourcing was not up to standards, so this was then sent to the first AfD [23]. The result of the AfD was to place in AfC. Bmegrl9113 then moved it to their user space in early March 2017 [24]. Bmegrl9113 attempted to create this as a redirect with content still in place, as a draft article (in the user space) [25] and I don't know the reason.
This was later removed as unacceptable in the user space and as a draft article [26] along with main space categories. Bmegrl9113 later moved the page back to draft space [27]. That same day they added content and refs but the submission was also later declined on that same day [28]. By 7 July this Draft had been declined three times (please scroll down) [29] after many edits by Bmegrl9113.
On 21 July 2017, Bmegrl9113 moved this from the Draft space to the Main space [30] with the apparent insufficient rationale - "Has enough reputable references (more than other articles that haven't ever been nominated for deletion)". And here we are. Bmegrl9113 seems to have done most of the editing and moving the article. Enthusiasm is appreciated, but if the article is not ready for main space then please honor that. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 22:50, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Strong Delete - this article should have never been approved for creation. The editor / creator is an affiliate and close personal friend of the subject and his business: Dan Shea history; and has displayed a heavy COI with their editing / monitoring of the page which borders on promotional advertising for the subject not complying with NPOV. Once brought to the editor's attention, the editor in question quickly back-tracked and made it known they were affiliated with 6 other subjects and articles in the Louisiana area covered by Wikipedia. Not only should this article be deleted, but the other articles this editor has either created or edits / monitors should be called into question. This missed speedy deletion the first time; and an AfD due to consensus. Don't let it happen again! Maineartists (talk) 11:52, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. There are plenty of impressive sources in the article, but none of them are about the subject or cover him in any detail at all. I looked for sources covering the subject and found nothing but mentions, "the new owner is Dan Shea" and "this business decision was made by Dan Shea" and the like.

This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles,...and reviews". It has received quality reviews from all across the globe. In fact, among others, it has been reviewed by the likes of William Dalrymple (historian) & Thomas Lippman. Here are some of them:

Page contains absolutely no reliable sources, and to attempt to create a comprehensive list of episodes for an American soap opera, which airs five-days per week, and dates back to 1973, it would be humanly impossible to accomplish. livelikemusic talk! 12:49, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

we have lists of episodes for other programs, not sure why we couldn't have them for this?Deathlibrarian (talk) 10:20, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
Exactly. To say that to create this list would be "humanly impossible to accomplish" is a little bit defeatist. There is a definite interest among viewers of this show to understand where the show came from and the links from this list provide that information in a month-by-month, week-by-week fashion, with notable individual episodes listed as well. This information is not readily available and has been compiled from a number of newspaper and magazine sources, as well as the original scripts themselves. Many viewers have requested that such a list/ episode guide be made. It is at least, if not more important, than the article about Genoa City which lists information which is not actually specifically mentioned on the show (ie addresses of characters' houses). There is no reason why the article can't be moved back as a user draft until it is complete, but to delete it entirely is to stymie the goodwill efforts of a user who aims to provide in-depth knowledge and research about this show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.104.92.132 (talk) 11:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. The above comments from the IP are taken into account, as it is possible to do a complete list of the tens of thousands of episodes for this soap. Summaries of soaps though should be limited to important storylines that can be summarised in a block of episodes, not every single one. Ajf773 (talk) 18:28, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. Firstly, it should be moved to List of The Young and the Restless episodes, as is standard practice for television episode lists. However, and secondly, is should begin as a draft article to prevent future AfD listings. Thirdly, separate episode list articles should have more than just production codes and the years they fall under. There needs to be a home list of episodes, with forks/branches to the respective years, because this show has another three years contracted and could total ~12,000 episodes. — Wyliepedia 18:46, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as per Ajf773; failing that, move as per Wyliepedia. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:27, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Deleting this page is a bit of a drastic step. The user should be given a chance to incorporate the changes recommended. If you look at the page, it does actually have links to the first three years of the show (I'm assuming this was what was meant by "forks/ branches to the respective years") and I'm sure the user will add years more as time progresses. It seems like it is difficult to provide much more information on this page other than the episode numbers because soaps don't actually have episodes with proper title names like TV series do. The page The Young and the Restless characters is in a similar position to this page in that it does not provide much more information other than the character names and only one citation - but it then has links to each character. Nobody suggests that page should be deleted so I see no problem in keeping this page (Young and the Restless episodes) for the same reason. The argument put forward that this page has no citations is a bit unfair - they've given one source at least, which is the William Bill script archive at the UCLA - I'm not sure how else they can reference episode numbers. If you look at the pages for the individual years, there are citations - indeed, 1976 gives a lot of citations. The yearly pages also do the episodes in (weekly or monthly) blocks of episodes, as has been suggested above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medhergon1 (talk • contribs) 07:47, 22 July 2017 (UTC) — Medhergon1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Michael, I get the sense that we are going off on wrong feet, you and I... WP:NFF only gives direction as to when a film should not have its own article; WP:WIP, which states that Wikipedia is a "work in progress", does not mean we should retain articles on subjects which are not independently notable; WP:IMPERFECT states that perfection is not required— I am not arguing that this article is not perfect, I am arguing that it is not notable; WP:POTENTIAL states that article potential, not its current state, should be the measure of inclusion— I don't disagree! I have evaluated the references here and those I could find elsewhere and I do not see evidence of notability. That doesn't mean it might not be notable at some point, it only means that so far, based on what we've been able to find, it is not notable now (and who knows— perhaps never will be). What you've added there is a laundry list of WP:AADD— I am still not sure I accept your reasoning to retain this particular article based on what either of us has found so far, its potential and imperfections and curiosity aside. If a subject is not notable, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it, yes? KDS4444 (talk) 02:01, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Then we shall disagree. I believe it is notable enough to merit and article and continue being improved, and you do not. Schmidt, Michael Q. 06:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Sort of— I do not see evidence of its notability; you, however, do, which is what I do not understand and is why we are differing here. Notability shouldn't be a matter of "belief", it should be a matter of "evidence", and what either of us believes shouldn't matter at that point. I do not believe that you've reviewed/ read the evidence you have offered, esp. with regard to some of it being in a foreign language that neither of us understands or can show a translation of— I have considered the other evidence, including Google Translate versions of the foreign language text, and I don't think any of it qualifies. You can disagree with me all you like, but you could shut me up better if you reviewed your own evidence thoroughly before offering it up as evidence of notability, yes?

- Keep Sorry KDS4444, but due diligence shows the topic IS discussed directly and in some detail in independent verifiable sources Using Now Running, Filmibeat, Metro Matinee, Deccan Chronicle, Times of India and others, the article can be corrected to meet MOS:FILM through regular editing. Releases next month. Schmidt, Michael Q. 10:28, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- @MichaelQSchmidt: the article in the Times of India (first one I went to) is an article that talks about how an actress in the movie was injured on the set. It is not "about" the movie, it is about the actress and her injury (please tell me you read each of these references you mentioned and evaluated them for appropriateness, yes? Though if you did, this one, for starters, doesn't make the cut). If you are going to refute a deletion nomination (and I say, by all means!) then please throw appropriate references out there (esp. ones that discuss the subject itself in a non-trivial manner and in multiple, reliable, independent sources). Having the film mentioned in passing in an article about an actress getting injured does not meet this qualification! But do your other references? Please advise! Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 06:17, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
- Likewise, the Deccan Chronicle article has no actual content! What are you doing? And the Metro Matinée article by "Maya" that only lists the cast members? Did you read these? The "filmibeat" article isn't even in English. Michael, I am now convinced that you did not actually read any of these "references." If you want to discuss this further, maybe we should go to my talk page. Listing a series of "references" that you are somehow sure demonstrate the notability of this film without actually reviewing any of them and using this as a defense of a "Keep" vote is... Let's not discuss this further here. Please bring it to my talk page (...and consider removing your Keep vote here, okay? If others want to make a keep argument based on bona fide evidence of reliability, they should be encouraged to do so. I know its awkward....). Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 09:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

- WP:INDAFD: Lechmi Shajeer Sha Parvathy Ratheesh Biju Sopanam
- Sorry, KDS4444, and please do not be offended, but your brief deletion rational stated that there was "no discussion in reliable independent verifiable sources". Telling folks such as if a fact is misleading and required clarification. And stating that I did not read sources seems to confirm that you did not.
- Under WP:SIGCOV, sources never have to be "all about" or "only about" the film, just so long as they do address it directly and in some detail. Times of India tells us that a major star was injured while shooting one of her scenes in Trivandrum for the film. It also confirms the director/writer and that actress Molly Kannammally is in a major role. Confirming those production facts is significant, though brief. It must be remembered that the guideline for "significant" is not the same as a non-guideline thought toward "substantial". Metro Matinee tells our readers that Biju Sopanam of the Indian sitcom Uppum Mulakum is confirmed in this film, while also confirming a shoot location and confirming an injury when a star did not use a stunt double. Not lengthy, but significant production information.
- And sources do not have to be text only. The Deccan Chronicle provides a news clip speaking toward the film's projected release. Text, no. Video, yes. Acceptable under WP:RS WP:NEWSORG.
- AND under WP:NONENG it is perfectly understood and acceptable that a non-English film can have non-English sourcing. "ലച്ച്മി" gives us non-English sourcing with a Malayalam Google search.
- Again, your brief deletion rational stated that there was "no discussion in reliable independent verifiable sources" in unintentionally misleading when the topic is discussed (even if briefly) in multiple reliable sources. Thanks, Schmidt, Michael Q. 13:48, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
- I guess I should have said "no significant discussion" in such sources. I also didn't mention "secondary" or "published" or "non-trivial". My point was that I did not see appropriate discussion in appropriate sources to qualify this film as notable— and I do not consider a series of trivial and off-hand mentions as adding up to that qualification. The confirmation of facts about the film is the equivalent of saying "Existence=notability", which we both know is not the case. I am not doubting the film's existence. Also: WP:NONENG was not my point— I am aware that non-English news sources can be used to support a notability argument. My point was that I doubted that you yourself read that source (or others) and evaluated it as to whether or not it supported a notability claim (did you read it? How does it support such a claim?). The brevity of my deletion rationale does not thereby make the film notable, it only means the rationale was brief. Regarding the Deccan Chronicle video— I didn't realize you spoke fluent

- Delete. An obvious puff piece by the artist. (IMHO no one except the artist has the willpower and persistence to construct an article on such a thin case of notability.) I removed Globepedia as a source (a Spanish Wikipedia variant) and several blogs tat were being used as sources. I also discovered numerous instances where the references given did not support the claim. I removed several duplicate refs that were two-sentence announcements for talks, and the entire section called "newspapers that mention..." as it was just a way of duplicating hte inline refs. After all that there are three or four weak but acceptable sources that all refer to one event-- the large mural she painted in Columbia. At most it is BLP1E.

This article is a promotional puff piece for an individual that I do not believe meets WP:GNG. Cannot find in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. All sources in the current article are either primary sources, are about his previous notable band Deepsky, or only mention this individual as peripheral to the main topic. I did find a BBC article on this individual, but it qualifies for WP:1E as it is about a single incident where he was asked by immigration authorities to leave Jersey. This individual was part of a notable group though, Deepsky, but notability is not inherited and Summer Channel does not demonstrate notability outside of Deepsky. Hence I am proposing that this article be deleted and redirected to Deepsky. Bennv3771 (talk) 14:11, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

The result was keep. So there was enough material presented to counterweight the nominator's rationale, whilst the only other delete !vote appears to be based on the quality of the prose (cf., WP:DINC), which is not a reason for deletion. Likewise, the keep !votes- although 'weak;- were based firmly on policy. There was certainly no consensus to delete, and enough strength of argument against that to fall towards a 'keep' outcome.

- There are significant sources in this article, and it includes relevant information on the formation on the industry, challenges, and of a company that has had material global impact on Virtual Reality. In no way is it meant to be an advertisement. There are plenty of other places to do that, and there are countless companies on Wikipedia that the structure of this article follows. This is a matter of record, and just because someone close to the subject matter is commenting and editing, doesn't mean that a conflict of interest comes into play. Can you please explain what a more neutral point of view would look like? This seems like a slight abuse of admin power because someone is actually contributing information and ensuring completeness.Tony.mugavero (talk) 15:43, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- FWIW, this bylined news piece in Variety by Janko Roettgers, its Senior Silicon Valley Correspondent, is a bona fide reliable source. There are clearly serious COI issues though. Mugavero does not seem to have the slightest concern about it, other than to accuse others of "abuse of power." Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:56, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for the nod on the sources, of which many more were added (including 4 by Janko as noted above). 24+ of them, which include not only bona fide sources globally, but SEC filing and trademarks. Genuinely curious on how we make this information that fits the guidelines, as we spend quite a bit of time/energy speaking on, informing, and transferring knowledge in the VR industry. It seems like a simple history of the company, which of course people at Littlstar know the most. While we're certainly close to the subject matter, if you look at the linked articles, there is no question that Littlstar powers a material part of the virtual reality industry globally and in this case at least 24 other places across 3 years have been verifying notability.Tony.mugavero (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

- I would like to point out some reference sources that were used to model the article after. Namely Vimeo, Nat_Geo_Wild, and Esquire_Network, but there are obviously many more that are similar. These examples are very similar in style and include fewer or similar numbers of references. Genuinely want to get good information out there and honor the Wikipedia guidelines, so if there is a good way to help alleviate the COI issue (beyond 32 references), we'll do what needs to be done. Any suggestions?
- There is a common way of dealing with this kind of COI at Wikipedia. You should restrict yourself to proposing edits on the Talk page of the article and not edit the article at all. If the article survives this discussion, you risk being blocked if you continue to edit the article directly in the manner you have to date.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:34, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

- That's WP:GOOGLEHITS in action. It doesn't show how this is notable. Yes, all sorts of actors have voiced on Disney projects, and yes, it's possible to connect Japanese credits to a Disney film, show, or broadcast, but per WP:LISTCRUFT there isn't any encyclopedic article about Japanese voice acting on Disney projects. This would be like making a list of American voice actors who voiced on Hayao Miyazaki films or who voiced on TV Tokyo shows. It's a trivial intersection and also bothers WP:PERFCAT if it were a category. Also note, this grouping is different from including Japanese Category:Disney people or inclusion in WikiProject Disney.

- Sorry SNUGGUMS, but a sourcable list with specific inclusion criteria is not indiscriminate. Schmidt, Michael Q. 05:50, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
- Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE: "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. " So, yes, it's verifiable, but where's the encyclopedic content of assembling such a list? To pick on another franchise, this is like constructing a Japanese voice actor list for List of Marvel Cinematic Universe film actors and reasoning that Marvel films are big worldwide.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as deputy mayor of a township. This is not a level of office that confers an automatic WP:NPOL pass, but the article is not referenced well enough to satisfy the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our inclusion criteria for local officeholders -- of the 18 footnotes here, nine of them are primary sources, such as his "our council" profile on the township government's own self-published website about itself and raw tables of election results, and seven of the other nine are blogs or YouTube videos. And of the two that actually qualify as reliable sources, one of them is here only to support a tangential assertion about the township's demographics, while completely failing to even mention Miller's name -- so it's not coverage of him at all.

- Keep - again, the nominator has it wrong; the 'specialty encyclopedia' in question was originally published by Mongoose, not by Evil Hat. Don't Rest Your Head has been extensively reviewed and is one of Hicks' most respected game designs; definitely meets WP:GNG. The current state of the stub is not grounds for deletion - in fact, the nomination contains no valid grounds for deletion whatsoever. Newimpartial (talk) 04:23, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per Newimpartial. Designers was originally published by Mongoose, which is totally independent of Evil Hat, and the original version discussed the game plenty, while the subsequent edition of the book published by Evil Hat simply expanded on the material. The same applies to all four articles nominated by the same nominator, and I will look for more sources / reviews for all of them. BOZ (talk) 04:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment note that Ken Hite reviewed DRYH at Gaming Report - the broken link is [37] and I don't have time to try to find it in an archive at the moment, but it was the review that led me to buy the game. A Ken Hite review along with Designers & Dragons unquestionably meets WP:GNG. I suggest that the nominator drop the stick. Newimpartial (talk) 04:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Sole reference is a specialty encyclopedia originally published by the same publisher; this article reads as a gloss of the article contained therein. I suggest that this is not sufficient to demonstrate notability. Ewilen (talk) 03:40, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep the nominator manages to pack two errors into one sentence; neither Designers and Dragons (original publisher: Mongoose) or Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies (original publisher, Atomic Sock Monkey Press) was "originally published by the same publisher" (Evil Hat) so there is no COI as implied by the nominator. The game is one of Chad Underkoffler's most successful, and has been extensively reviewed in various media; it is certainly Notable. Newimpartial (talk) 04:07, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- I may be mistaken on those details, but Designers and Dragons is currently published in a new edition by Evil Hat, as is Sot7S. (I can only find references to an EH edition of the latter.) There are no other references in the article. 04:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

I have improved the article a lot but I have only had time to do about half of what I wanted. I still have many research clues to chase down (see comments on the talk page and hidden comments in the article) and only limited time to devote to this project.

Extremely silly article with no encyclopedic need to exist. Antarctica is a landmass whose only permanent residents are animals, so what this really does is list the state of LGBT rights in the mainlands of the countries that happen to have territorial claims on it. ("Adoption by same-sex couples"? Who is a queer scientist on a six-month research expedition going to adopt there, a penguin?) No prejudice against recreation in 2050 or beyond, when global warming has melted the ice caps and people are moving to Antarctica because whatever land is left there has actually become habitable, but as of right now the state of LGBT rights in Antarctica is strictly sophistry of no practical significance.

- Well, a person does not need to be a resident to have rights and it looks as if the rights of these people are (generally?) the same as in the countries (potentially) claiming sovereignty. I think it's a "real" topic but maybe one not written about elsewhere as a whole and maybe not worth documenting per se. Vaguely similar was this AFD, its DRV and RFC, then WP:AN discussion and move.

- Delete A stricter (and more pedantic) title would be "List of LGBT rights in the sovereign states with territorial claims in Antarctica" and I suspect the overall topic of the list has not been written about in reliable sources, nor is there evidence that legal rights are determined by the state with the territorial claim. The case of the possible murder of Rodney Marks, an Australian citizen in NZ territory at a US base[38] indicates the uncertainty of the legal situation. Fascinating.

- I think that's a very fair question. So far as I can see the BAT marriage law follows English law but in principle it might not.[39] However, where there are significant differences they would be well worth noting in British Antarctic Territory rather than burying in this list. I'm ignorant- are there other states that potentially apply different law in the Antarctic areas they claim? It seems to me it would be far more helpful to readers to discuss (not in list form) where such differences arise and what the differences are. I would be interested to see Law in Antarctica with, if appropriate, LBGT issues spun out but since the broad topic doesn't seem to be covered I would certainly not oppose a specific article.

- Can you expand? The article does have substantial and well-referenced content. --George (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 12:47, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - the article Israeli involvement in the Syrian Civil War was originally named Israeli intervention in the Syrian Civil War to emphasize incidents related to the Iran-Israel proxy conflict (see [40]). It later was renamed to its current name and aggregated three issues - the Humanitarian aid during the Syrian Civil War supplied by Israel, the minor Israeli–Syrian ceasefire line incidents during the Syrian Civil War and alleged cross-border attacks by Hezbollah against Israel and Israel against Hezbollah during the Syrian Civil War in the context of Iran-Israel proxy conflict (mostly unverified). The three issues are somewhat interrelated and having to do with the Syrian Civil War, but do not make up actual and notable "organized involvement" as was concluded several times at talk:Syrian Civil War/Israel, thus i removed copy-paste parts from Humanitarian aid during the Syrian Civil War and Israeli–Syrian ceasefire line incidents during the Syrian Civil War. The topic is currently also discussed at talk:Syrian Civil War#RfC. I would wait for RfC conclusion to nominate this article for deletion, even though i would tend to support it - it doesn't make any point not already mentioned in Iran-Israel proxy conflict article.GreyShark (dibra) 12:56, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

I am procedurally nominating this for deletion. It was previously subject to PROD with the rationale "Non-notable band; lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources, failing WP:BAND / WP:GNG." After deletion, the PROD was contested at ticket:2017062710024417, so I've restored the article. I can't comment on the content of the ticket due to confidentiality. I think notability is at best questionable, but I haven't put in serious WP:BEFORE time, so I'm making this nomination procedural and letting the community hash it out.

Not sufficiently notable person. Was educated in journalism, held public-facing jobs with a public broadcaster, then got a communications job with a semi-private utility company. This is a career path that many current government flaks have, and a career path that many current working journalists will have. (e.g. they go from being a visible person on the local news, to being a "Public relations officer" for a particular local thing or agency).
In total the article has only one reference, a dead link, which was a 2007 press release, against the rules for notability in the first place. (promotional)
Article contains a lot of puffery and WP:PEACOCK peacock terms (being the "first", "youngest", "supervising senior" person with an otherwise ordinary job. Apparently he worked as journalists do, and also signed more-junior persons' performance evaluations? In an industry rife with student interns and volunteeer labour, this is not remarkable.
Lead paragraph has this subject's name as "Hrishikesh Raul" and recategorized in Category:Indian Engineers since February 16 2017. Possible vandalism not noticed for 6 months precisely because of the foregoing.
Individual continues to hold a non-notable, non-public-facing job -- Director of Communications for a regional utility company, not being a celebrated person in an unbiased journalism/host/storytelling role. Scope of job, even if notable, is provincial at best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.71.150 (talk • contribs) 18:14, June 28, 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Completing nomination on behalf of above IP editor--above text is copied from article talk page. Article had been hijacked by the above-noted Hrishikesh Raul as that account's sole edit. I have reverted the article to the pre-hijack version except for the retention of the AfD tag--intervening edits had more to do with repairing inconsistencies caused by the vandalism rather than fixing the vandalism itself. I offer no further opinion on the nomination itself at this time. --Finngall talk 18:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:TNT. The notability claims here — winning a Gemini and a Murrow — are not supported by reliable sources, and for that matter this isn't even how the Gemini/CSAs work: Best Newscast goes to the show, not to its producer, which means that claim is running afoul of WP:NOTINHERITED as written. He'd technically have a valid notability claim if he could be shown to pass WP:GNG for his work in journalism, but nothing here grants him any sort of exemption from having to be the subject of reliable source coverage about him. And the fact that the "Hrishikesh Raul" vandalism went completely undetected for almost an entire year says something about how much visibility the guy actually has, to boot. As so often happens with journalists, this whole thing reads an awful lot like something that was probably copy-pasted from an "our staff" bio on the website of his present or former employer without any discernible attempt to actually make it read or source like an encyclopedia article instead of a PR blurb — and that's not the type of article that anybody gets to keep on here regardless of whether they have a valid notability claim or not.

WP:BLP of a writer and public speaker, formatted like a résumé rather than an encyclopedia and referenced entirely to primary sources and YouTube videos and a user-generated "citizen journalism" site, with only one reference that's even maybe a reliable source.

The article is about a character who appears in just one episode of a TV series, that in no way meets notability guidelines. Article just contains plot-only information, trivia, and in-universe details. The only real world information is a bit about casting. There's no reason this information just can't be put into Supernatural (season 1) or Characters of Supernatural. Again, this is a character who appears in one episode; it's not a notable recurring or main character from the series. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:30, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect to Pilot (Supernatural) seems more appropriate as she is a one-time character that is already covered in the article on the relevant episode. I do not see the value of adding a section about her in the characters list when she is extremely minor and a merge into the list would primarily be repeated information already found in the pilot article. I argue that the information on her should be contained in the article on the relevant episode. Aoba47 (talk) 20:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

The result was delete without redirect. Mentioning it in Overflow (disambiguation) is entirely possible though and seems like a good idea. SoWhy 12:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Contested PROD. This is an album by a prolific Christian music ensemble, but which appears not to have attracted the level of coverage required by NMUSIC's criteria in and of itself. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:39, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - I can't find any coverage to show that this passes either WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM. Onel5969 TT me 19:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete as above; not redirect as the term is a disambiguator not likely to be typed in the search box, though I wouldn't object to a mention in Overflow (disambiguation) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Ineligible for PROD, was PROD'd in 2007 for lack of notability and undeleted shortly after a request from a user who advised "Camp Mendocino belongs to a non profit organization, is very traditional, and has existed since the 1930s."
While that all may be very nice it's been 10 years and still no sources have been added, and I couldn't find any of my own. The topic fails GNG and should be deleted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:09, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete The article has had a decade to be brought up to notability standards, but since it has not, it can go.TH1980 (talk) 03:11, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Notability is defined outside of Wikipedia, so notability does not change by editing an article. Unscintillating (talk) 02:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete WP:DEL7 with WP:IAR. An 85-year-old Boy Scout camp sounds like a topic of enduring interest, but without any reliably sourced statements, it requires a complete re-write. As for the IAR, AfD is not clean-up. Unscintillating (talk) 02:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
