- Merge with Vandalism on Wikipedia into the fighting vandalism page. The sources are borderline, and this seems like something that could be better covered under the larger topic. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- TonyBallioni, are you saying that the BBC and the Verge are borderline, or the amount of sources is borderline? L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 19:09, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- The coverage is borderline. Perhaps it would be better to say I was agreeing with Anarchyte's analysis of the sourcing, but that I think instead of keeping as a separate article, where there is a weak argument for it by GNG, that there is a very strong argument for expanding or improving the coverage at the linked article, and redirecting the bot article to it. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- @TonyBallioni and L3X1: FWIW, I'd also support a merge. Anarchyte (work | talk) 01:05, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- FWIW, I'd also support closing as Redirect and merge from history per below. I typically prefer that as a close, but do think there might be content worth merging here, which is why I had that as my bold !vote. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:17, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect. It's definitely a plausible search term; Vandalism on Wikipedia seems fine as a target. Simply being name-dropped in publicity pieces is not sufficient for notability; a link to User:ClueBot NG on Vandalism on Wikipedia is probably all the coverage necessary on that page if the references aren't useful there.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
He appears to only be discussed in passing in the reliable references included, additionally, those mentions typically are followed by a quote of his. Doesn't seem to meet BLP notability requirements. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 22:38, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Arizona-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 02:38, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep as both WorldCat (currently linked) and GoogleScholar both give high number of collections and citations enough to satisfy both WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF. Also, current list of published books is significant enough to show notability in his field. SwisterTwister talk 05:49, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - His citation count alone qualifies him, what is even more impressive is that his top two cited works are over a decade apart, showing his staying power in his field. Onel5969 TT me 11:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - Read past edit history of the Patrick Carnes article for more notable information about Patrick Carnes. The article has been modified many times because of editors who are opposed to the concept of sex addiction and try to minimize his work in the field. Patrick Carnes is more responsible than anyone for the conceptualization of sex addiction and the entire field of sex addiction treatment, and that's notable.

The result was redirect to 2017 Weis Markets shooting. Per WP:SNOW. We have unanimous support for a redirect to the longer article, including from an IP who claims to be the creator. The nominator is of course free to nominate the pre-existing target article, if he feels the same issues apply. (non-admin closure) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a newspaper. reddogsix (talk) 22:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Given that statement, why are there several articles for shootings and other newsworth events both past and present? The article isn't one-sides, it isn't trying to uncover something big, so why try to get rid of it? If the article is able to stay up, this tragic shooting can be remembered. - Joinedtomakeonearticle (talk) 22:35, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

I literally could not find it when I googled it or searched here before but now that I see it and it's better than this, go ahead and delete it.

- Delete per nom. Performed WP:BEFORE found nothing on Google News. Most of the refs cited fails WP:RS. No in-depth coverage except some passing mentions. No major achievement. Fails notability. --Elton-Rodrigues 15:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elton-Rodrigues (talk • contribs)
- Keep Mr Elton-Rodrigues, I guess you didn't check google page 1 and Google page 2to see her what she's been up to, adverts she's been in and musics she remixed and those she featured in. Just that youtube links isn't allowed on wikipedia would have dropped them here for you to check it, you can search for her on youtube to check her Adverts and music features out.
- Kindly let me know if there's anything I can do to save the page instead of trying to delete my first major contribution to the community, I spent a chunk of my time putting the page and references together. I need suggestion on how I can improve the page. Thanks. Mode9 (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Even Top editors like JamesBWatson Indicated at the page's Revision History that there are "claims of significance" to the page, so don't let us just push this to the Bin like that.....I have a target of 450-500 edits and at least 30 page and article creation before the end of December this year /D and maybe by next year hopefully I would be a Top editor with adminstrative responsibility like most you here. Editing wikipedia is kind of cool /D. Mode9 (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - A claim of notability is just that, a claim. In this case it is a claim without adequate support. A claim has no bearing on the actual notability of the article. reddogsix (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete The sources here are either not reliable sources, or on the rare occasions when they may be in reliable sources they are interviews (I am not even sure the first source here is reliable) so they do not count towards independent coverage. Twitter and facebook, the leaders in the provided google search, are not reliable sources either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep DNA Newspaper and Rediff.com are reputed news sources in India. Deep articles in both the mentioned site make it pass notability.But some Clean up needed. BetterSmile:D 03:22, 11 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bettersmiley (talk • contribs)
keepever since the page was created it has been modified in over 32 time by different Editors (mostly Top/super editors)adding references, removing text without reference and so many other modification, so I think it pass to be on wikipedia.....Thanks Mode9 (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- comment That has nothing to do with Notability BetterSmile:D 07:55, 11 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bettersmiley (talk • contribs)
- comment Definately but that shows the amount of improvement the page have gone through since creation. Mode9 (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- I had not intended to take part in this discussion, as it seemed to me that the subject of the article was neither obviously notable nor obviously not notable, and I didn't have any particular opinion as to whether the article should be kept or not. However, Mode9, the creator of the article, posted a talk page comment asking me to look at it, so I have done so, and I will give my observations on the evidence of notability which has been provided.
- Bettersmiley suggests we should keep the article because there are "Deep articles" in DNA Newspaper and Rediff. I am not sure what Bettersmiley means by "Deep articles", nor do I know enough about DNA Newspaper to assess to what extent it is a "reputed news source in India", but I do know enough about Rediff to know that much of its content is promotional. However, since Bettersmiley mentioned those two sources as evidence of notability, I had a look for them. There are two references to DNA. (There superficially appear to be four, but one of them appears three times, including once linking to a mirror site, giving a different URL.) One of them merely gives a brief quote from Jasmine Dawda. The other is written in the first person, evidently by Jasmine Dawda. The article has one reference to Rediff. It is a very brief interview, with a total of three questions, in effect an article by Jasmine Dawda but presented in the form of questions and answers. It is full of trivia such as where she bought her handbag from.
- Mode9 suggests we should keep the article for the following reasons. (1) The Google search shows that she has appeared in advertisements and has remixed music. Mode9 links to the first two pages of hits. 14 of the 20 hits on the first two pages are Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, Jasmine Dawda's own web site, vimeo, viyoutube, commons.wikimedia.org, plus.google.com, deletionpedia.org, and a page giving statistics for "jasmine dawda" on YouTube. None of those has the remotest value in establishing notability. The remaining six hits don't do much either: for example, they include a page where the full and complete text relating to Jasmine Dawda consists of the words "Jasmine Dawda"; it looks like a place holder for a possible page on her. Then there is a page on which the full text about her is "We first spotted Twinkle Khanna in high waisted pants at the Society Interior Awards, but it looked no where as great as it did on Jasmine Dawda at the party at ‘Wink’! How fabulous is that jeweled flower detail on her back? Agreed its a little risqué but she wears it really well…" (2) I declined an A7 speedy deletion on the grounds that there are claims of significance in the article. Reddogsix has answered that. (3) The article contributes to Mode9's target for number of article creations in the hope of becoming an administrator. This is not the place to explain why that is not a reason to keep an article. (4) It has been edited over 32 times.
As I said above, before Mode9 asked me to look in here I had no opinion on whether Jasmine Dawda satisfied Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I am now convinced that she doesn't. Delete. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:34, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Subject does not meet the criteria for notability. Searches turn up blogs, Spotify, youtube videos, all of which should not be used as sources.

Also support salting and/or warning the article creator that continuing to do this is considered disruptive and could lead to blocks, as he's created it both times, and participated in the last AFD, so he knows there were problems with it.

- Delete - Nominated the first AfD for this article and frankly this "new" iteration has not fixed any of the problems present in the original. Also, I'm not sure if I missed it from the original or it's new information, but the article states that the subject's son is named "Randy Joel", so it looks like a WP:COI case to me.

The film was also widely distributed by Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Starseed (talk • contribs) 06:19, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- The rule on Wikipedia is WP:NOTINHERITED which is to say that just because notable people are in the film doesn't mean the film itself is notable. The other claim is that via distribution through Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, the film is therefore "widely distributed". However the digital distribution subsidiary of Warner Bros. releases so much content online that I don't think this is a valid point. "Widely distributed" media needs to have independent evidence of distribution in a fashion that is comparable other "widely distributed" content which Wikipedia has articles about. As it is, the only evidence I can find that the film is distributed through this company is through the press releases of the filmmaker, and independent (or even Warner Bros.-based) statistics about the distribution's reach is information I cannot find either. jps (talk) 15:45, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

An obvious pot-boiler of a book, the genre "1001 things for you to worry about" has been a staple for some years. This is not a canonical list of important books, it's just a handy title to stock a bookshop before Christmas. Its lack of canon status is evidenced by the fact that after publication, it was changed so that nearly a third of these "crucial" books were replaced.

- Keep Meets WP:NBOOK #1, and the arguments for deletion are irrelevant to Wikipedia policy. It's written by a reasonably high-ranking academic (Peter Boxall (academic)) with an introduction by Peter Ackroyd, which makes it more than just a hacky toilet-book. The fact that a reference book is revised is also not a reason for deletion. Also, if you want to propose a merge, you don't take this to AfD, so along with the lack of valid reasons for deletion, this should be closed on procedural grounds. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:55, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Argument that the publisher has given up maintaining their website is a business decision by the publisher and no reason to remove the title. There is evidence that people are still using this list (see Goodreads group which is quite active). And if nothing else this book is a historical document by an academic and has a number of reviews in places such as the Guardian and NY Times and in the future will be a good look at what was being read in the early 21st century. I would like to expand the article (and it is on my project list).Jaldous1 (talk) 17:30, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep I didn't realise being "canon" was a requirement—so subsequent editions changed the list, so what? Likewise with shuttering the website of the series, that's purely a business decision and doesn't render a book published 11 years ago as non-notable. Dismissing it as a "pot-boiler" seems a matter of opinion, and not a sound reason for deletion. Written/edited by notable academic and published by large publishing house. --Canley (talk) 07:21, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Piling here, I see, but wanted to thank Coolabahapple for doing what everyone above should have done. Save the screed and show the sources: three dedicated reviews from major publications is enough to write a dedicated article on the subject. Deletion should have always been out of the question since the title makes for a fine redirect to the author's page. It wouldn't be so bad to cover it there summary style anyway.

I'm not sure this is a notable person. Though I can't search under any Indic language that his name might be listed under, based on Google searches for "Bimal Goswami" and "Bimal Chandra Goswami", I'd say that he fails WP:GNG and that there's no indication of otherwise meeting WP:BIO.

The result was delete. Despite how unhelpful stuff like no-rationales "Delete per WP:GNG" is, I find consensus for deletion; however, there is some support for having this covered in a section of the main article, so merging some of the content there would probably be good. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:15, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

I have recently proposed for this page to be deleted. However, the tag was removed, the person who did so citing that the few alumni included olympians and that there were book sources. I would like to point out that the people listed on the page give no inherent meaning to the page itself. That a school's alumni include several olympians is not special, even if that number is thirteen. There are many more more significant prep schools with higher numbers of olympians. For a school to have a sports team page, I believe, it must be a University or a significant secondary school, or one whose sports team have made significant victories in a significant league. As well, this page seems like it was written solely for the purpose of promoting the school. The Hill School deserves no such merit, and I firmly believe that this page should be either deleted or merged with the main article. Peapod21 (talk) 23:15, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep the school founded in 1851 has plenty of reliable sources book coverage such as University press books and includes details of its sporting endeavours including at least 13 olympians and the tag says there is more and there is enough reliable source coverage already in the article for this separate article and bundling into the main article would make that page too bulky and difficult to load Atlantic306 (talk) 23:27, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- But the problem is that the main article isn't too "bulky" or "difficult to load." Those are not reasons for splintering. All other concerns of yours, I have addressed in my comment above. I suggest you read it. Peapod21 (talk) 23:40, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- There are enough reliable sources for WP:GNG to be passed for independent notability Atlantic306 (talk) 23:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- However it gains that notability from its association with the Hill School, not as a sports team. Also, most of the sources are WP:ROUTINE, autobiographical, or referring to prep school sports teams collectively instead of addressing Hill School Blues independently. --2601:196:4901:6F80:EC27:9F30:9B3B:C14B (talk) 19:39, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Full of trivia sourced only to school publications or local media. The notable alumni are already listed in List of The Hill School alumni; maybe some details could be added there indicating who was a blue. Some info might be added to the main article but not a straight merge. If you want to create a wiki for your school, nobody is stopping you, but Wikipedia is not your personal web host. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Historical details are closely linked with those of other institutions (ex. Sweeney who was athletic director at Hill and at Yale, creating modern athletics curriculum). Not sure how many other prep school athletic departments are "much more notable" than Hill, but in that case articles should be created for them too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyungjoo98 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- The question is: Does the Hill School sports team gain notability from it being a sports team, or from it being affiliated with the Hill? Because if it is the latter, it has no independent notability, and gains no inherit notability from the school. Also, it doesn't matter whether one person was affiliated with the school who was significant. There is no such thing as notability by association. alphalfalfa(talk) 19:36, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure how notability by association has anything to do with this article. If the athletic department were at any other school, it would still be notable, due to pioneering ideas, as shown by references from reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyungjoo98 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- Well the problem is that the school's "pioneering," not the teams themselves. The athletic department is not the teams themselves. And also, the athletic department also gains its notability from the school. Neither are notable enough to have their own pages. Also, nowhere in the article states how the department has been innovative. "Oh, our school focuses on its tennis team! Its athletic team should have its own Wikipedia page!" This article is clearly promotional of the school's prestige, and has no business on Wikipedia. It gains no notability from its so called "innovations," no notability from being a school sports team, and no notability from being associated with the Hill School. alphalfalfa(talk) 04:01, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

This article pretty much fails to meet WP:GNG and seems to just be based on one editor's opinion that because it has to do with LGBT, that in itself is sufficient enough reason for it to have its own article. It's not. Plus, this topic is pretty common for most series nowadays, so it's not like this is making history or anything. Additionally, most of the sources are primary sources, coming from the episode itself. There are no secondary sources, such as Deadline, that cover this in an extensive manner. Also notice that no other episodes in the series have their own articles, just this one, even though the LGBT implications aren't only in "L Is for Love."

- Keep The fact that LGBT+ topics are "pretty common for most series nowadays", the fact that LGBT topics in the show aren't limited to this episode, and the fact that this is the only episode with a page is all irrelevant. There's no rule saying that the episode has to necessarily be a major thing that makes history. Also, there are TONS of examples of other shows that have up episode pages with far less then this.

I note you have now added more tags...that article remains...therefore so should this article. Bosley John Bosley (talk) 12:42, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Well, with respect that's a curious perspective. There are a lot of articles on Wikipedia that "remain" for the simple reason that nobody besides the article author has read them, cares about the topic or taken the time and effort to tag the content as dubious or non-notable. Tags are useful because they point out specific problems to be solved in order to improve WP. If those tags remain, then that's a good indication that the article's problems are not being solved, or are perhaps not soluble. There are even more problems with self-relations psychotherapy than there are with Stephen Gilligan, so the former is hardly a shining example of a reason to keep the latter. The reason that the former article wasn't tagged (or AfD'd) was that neither I nor anybody else was particularly aware of it. That is hardly a reason to allow either article to "remain" and clutter up WP with poorly sourced fringe tripe. Famousdog (c) 12:56, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

The page was nominated for a Fail WP:GNG in 2011 but was kept for reasons that I don't consider correct. Apart from the fact that this person is totally unknown in Quebec (no page on the same subject in the French-language Wikipedia), the qaulity of the sources leavec much to be desired. For example, in many cases the Pro-Quebec Independence website Vigile is used as a source, even if anybody can anonymously publish an article in it. Also, other sources simply mention his name in passing. There is also some ambiguity with the name "Justice De Thézier"; it is not clear whether this is one and the same person. --132.204.184.199 (talk) 19:21, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Was deprodded without rationale. Only improvement was the addition of a single, non-independent source, currently still the only sourcing for this blp.

The result was no consensus. This has been open a month; has been relisted three times; and has had no substantial input for at least three and arguably over two weeks. Therefore there seems no realistic likelhood of a consensus emerging to delete this article.

- Weak keep Consider Assistant Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, the third highest rank in the Metropolitan Police Service of London, UK, i.e. covering a population a bit less than half that of Sri Lanka. Most of the people in that role are notable, so, by extension, it seems likely to me that holders of the third highest rank in the Sri Lanka Police Service would probably be notable. The current article clearly fails WP:GNG as is, but there is material out there, like [9], [10], [11], and passing mentions in [12] and [13]. So, on balance, I'd go with keep.

Essentially the same as One Rank One Pension -- same material, and both essentially advocacy at that. I think the first step is to reduce the number of articles. The context for the advocacy seemed very unclear, but I think it is about a plan to pay pensions to retired army officers at the same rates as police officers, with some added complications, including a claimed inequality for the few hundred army officers at the highest ranks.
I've listed them separately, in case there is some evidence that one of these might warrant a separate article. DGG ( talk ) 19:47, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. The article comfortably passes WP:GNG - it has coverage in multiple independent sources and contributes towards fulfilling a significant gap in our coverage. The only grounds given for deletion is that the nominator claims its "designed to advance their cause", despite the fact there's not a shred of evidence for that conclusion. Nominations like this really frustrate me because they make editor retention so difficult: we get a newish editor who writes a bunch of good content about diverse underrepresented topics that badly need some editorial attention, and someone does a drive-by bid to delete their work by making baseless accusations about them - why would they keep contributing?

- Strong Keep even Speedy Keep. More than sufficiently sourced from independent reliable sources. Cannot see why it was AfDed at all.

- Keep: This is my first attempt at an article, so by all means fix whatever you think is wrong with it. However it is incorrect to claim it is written to "advance the cause." I have no connection to this organisation. I wrote this article as part of the Women In Red project which is trying to rectify the known statistical gender imbalance on Wikipedia. And in creating this page, I quickly came to understand why there is such an imbalance, because it seems the standards required to get such an article accepted from draft to published, and then also not get deleted, seems higher for this article about a muslim women's organisation (i.e. I have been editing article, and some have pre-existing conflicts of interest, lack of citations, puffery, etc that somehow made it through the gauntlet unchallenged, yet the resistance I've felt to this article has made me wonder why I bother). If you had a problem with the article, why not talk to me about it first? Or respond to the question I posted on the talk page? Or fix what is wrong with it? If you'd taken even a second to read my profile you'd see I've clearly stated I'm new to editing wikipedia, I'm still learning, and I don't pretend to be an expert.

- Keep. I've seen some strange attempts at deleting articles from newcomers but this is one of the most peculiar. Without justification.--Ipigott (talk) 06:17, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, surely. Advocacy? – Well, it doesn't look as if it has been written by anyone opposed to the organisation (against Muslims, or women, or Australia) but that's fine by me. And it seems thoroughly sensible, worthwhile and, for all I know, balanced. It's good we have this article. Thincat (talk) 16:32, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: per my comments when I originally declined it in draft form. It has undertones of advocacy. Most of the keep !votes argue that we shouldn't delete it because it's from a new contributor which seems unjust. I concur with DGG, even though most of us would support what the organisation stands for, if it advocates it positively, it fails WP:NPOV. DrStrauss talk 17:50, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- This demonstrates a disturbing ignorance of Wikipedia policy for an AfC reviewer: even if it did have "undertones of advocacy" (of which no evidence has been provided), we don't actually delete articles for these things, we tag them for cleanup. (And like Canley, I also can't detect any such tones apart from the lack of the dreaded "controversies" section: if anything, this !vote (and the AfC decline) seems to demonstrate some weird hostility about the subject, not about the article.) The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:24, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- The creator just said above that they weren't connected to the organization. So now, not only are you trying to get a notable article deleted, but you are assuming bad faith on the part of the creator. This isn't a case for deletion and this is a case of you not assuming good faith. SL93 (talk) 03:04, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of being directly connected with the organization. I discourage all wikipedians from doing advocacy here, even for things they -- and I -- support personally. I have realized that it is quite difficult to avoid this when working on articles for things that one wishes to see publicized, but it remains essential. It is possible to learn how to work even on what you love with an appropriately neutral detachment, but I strongly discourage beginners from attempting it--it is an altogether different mindset than the usual sort of writing. My experience is that it is easier to manage in doing bios than articles on organizations. Myself, I don't even attempt it. I hope it is not easy to guess from my work here what organizations I support; I may leave traces in comments, but not in articles.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 05:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Even if the creator is trying to advocate for the organization (which I doubt), that still is only a reason for copy editing and not deletion. SL93 (talk) 04:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- I agree with SL93. As pointed out by others here, the Wikipedia policy regarding deletion says "A failure to conform to a neutral point of view is usually remedied through editing for neutrality" and also has a long list of "considerations" to consider before listing something for deletion which I won't copy out the whole list, but here is perhaps the most pertinent one: "Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD." DGG went straight to delete without any such discussion. DrStrauss, regarding your own reason for rejecting the article "not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article" I think your standards are too high for a starter article. I've edited plenty of pages that had real issues of POV, puffery, lack of citations, unclear notability, incomplete unclear sentences and paragraphs, and it didn't occur to me to recommend for deletion except in the one case when it really obviously wasn't notable after a search (a listing for a business that had no online profile beyond its website). The other articles I set about improving. That is why wikipedia has a grading system. Most articles start out low grade, and over time people add to them and improve them and they get better. Collaboration. Powertothepeople (talk) 16:42, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Among the reasons given when this article was rejected at AfC, as mentioned above, was "does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.", which appeared completely unjustified, suggesting an enthusiasm to reject. PamD 07:58, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- That's to some degree the fault of the AfC templates--it's the nearest one to "the content does not seem to represent a NPOV". Of course, one can and should when applicable write a custom decline reason, but people often don't. It's not reasonable to hold an editor responsible for the exact wording of each template they apply from the limited selection. It takes a while to realize the extent to which they need adjustment. DGG ( talk ) 07:57, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- @DGG: So through what channels can non-AfC members urge that the messages be changed so that rejection is not made on inappropriate grounds for lack of an appropriate built-in message? Formality of style has nothing to do with NPOV - and this didn't have as much as a "didn't" of informality. And @DrStrauss: please note DGG's comment about the need to adjust the built-in comments when they are inappropriate. Thanks. PamD 14:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Reluctantly nominating this for deletion. The primary policy reason is a failure to assert notability. However, it also reads, to me, as an incoherent mix of personal essay, unverifiable speculation, novel synthesis, and conspiracy theory. I've attempted to explained my concerns to the article's creator (here and here), but see no particular signs of understanding or attempts to remedy the issues despite a flurry of other edits to the article, over several days, afterwards. I've also asked for help from WikiProject Soviet Union, WikiProject Russia, and the Soviet and post-Soviet cinema task force of WikiProject Film. The only response from the wikiprojects was a concurring opinion and suggestion that the article be deleted.
The article's creator has indicated that they will be away from editing for several months, so they will be unable to function as an advocate for the article. They are also not fluent in English (I'm assuming their native language is Russian) and the language barrier is an impediment to understanding here. Please keep this in mind when you assess the issue. Xover (talk) 06:04, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a person whose only stated or sourced evidence of encyclopedic notability is being a non-winning candidate for the leaderships of two political parties. This is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL, however -- if a person doesn't already have a preexisting notability claim, such as actually serving in a legislature as an MP or MLA or being an established television personality, then he has to win the leadership, not just run for it, to get a Wikipedia article for the endeavour. And the only sources present here are his own campaign website, not reliable source coverage for the purposes of getting over WP:GNG. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if he accomplishes something that would change the notability equation -- he's rumoured as a possible (but not yet confirmed) candidate in a future by-election, so actually becoming a real MP may be in his future -- but nothing here already gets him over a notability criterion today.

- Actually, we rarely keep articles about "perennial candidates" who perennially lose; there are admittedly occasional exceptions for ones who can be sourced as notable for more than just the fact of being candidates, such as clearing GNG for being charged with hate speech or actually holding the recognized Guinness World Record for the largest number of non-winning candidacies in recorded history. And the number of votes a person got in the process of not winning an election is also irrelevant to notability — if he hasn't held a notable office, then he doesn't pass NPOL no matter how many people did or didn't think he should.

The result was merge to The_Monks#Reunions. The result was clearly to merge; the only question, perhaps, was where to? Although the album Black Monk Time was suggested, there in fact appears no natural placement for this information there. This is due to the fact that the article under consideration here concerns a single released forty years after an album on which none of the songs appear. So, considering that the significance this song has lies more in the period of time that has elapsed between the two events, I felt it it was better placed as an addendum to the main article.

- Keep – This historic former village meets WP:GEOLAND as a legally-recognized populated place, as per this reliable source, as well as other sources that attest to it being a legally-recognized place: [14], [15]. North America1000 01:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- NA1000, I don't see how those sources prove that this is "legally recognized"--I think you are reaching too far, and you're probably safe enough already when arguing GNG. Drmies (talk) 01:25, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I interpret "formerly populated" places to be things that are no longer populated, like "ghost towns". This place is still populated and it is now a neighborhood of a larger place. If it had sufficient notability for a stand-alone article, it certainly should have one. But otherwise, a neighborhood is covered under the "legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it" per GEOLAND. And it turns out that there is already a separate article on the New Augusta Historic District, so in this case any content in this article not already in the NRHP article, if any, should be merged there. MB 02:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- Source #2 in my !vote above was published in 1866 by the Adjunct General of the State of Indiana, and source #3 is The National Gazetteer of the United States of America, which was published in 1988 by the United States Government Publishing Office. The first source is published by the National Park Service, which is an agency of United States Department of the Interior, and describes the locale (in part) as
... a small village called Augusta developed at the corner of present-day 71st and Michigan Road. With plenty of travelers using Michigan Road, the small village grew to have general stores, a post office, and other essentials."
- These come across as valid, legally-authoritative sources to me. For example, the United States Government Publishing Office "prints and binds documents produced by and for the federal government" (italic emphasis mine). North America1000 02:22, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- But this doesn't address my comment at all. It may have been a village at one time, but now it is part of Indianapolis. There are dozens or maybe hundreds of former villages that are now part of NYC and they don't all have individual articles. See Blissville, Queens as an example. MB 02:47, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi MB: You state in your comment above that "a neighborhood is covered under the "legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it" per GEOLAND". However, this phrasing is under point #2 of WP:GEOLAND for Populated places without legal recognition (italic emphasis mine). Per my !vote and commentary above, I view this former village and neighborhood as falling under point #1, for Populated, legally recognized places (italic emphasis mine). North America1000 02:50, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- This IS a populated place without legal recognition, in my view. It may have been legally recognized as a village before it was swallowed up by Indianapolis, but it then lost that status. It is now just a neighborhood of the city, which is not legally recognized. This section of GEOLAND is often interpreted differently by different editors. MB 03:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

- Comment When I originally nominated this, I was unaware of New Augusta Historic District. Since this topic is clearly notable due to its historic designation and is covered in that article, we don't need two articles on the same place.
The article should be merged into New Augusta Historic District.MB 15:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- It may not be the same place. The New Augusta Historic District article states that the New Augusta Historic District "...is located east of Augusta", although this is presently unsourced in the article. If the New Augusta Historic District is located east of Augusta, Augusta is not the New Augusta Historic District. North America1000 02:01, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- You are right. The historic district is "New Augusta" and is located 1.5 miles east of "Old Augusta" (the topic of this article). They are different places. So I am back to "Old Augusta", which was apparently mostly abandoned as the people/businesses there followed the railroad east in 1852, being merged into either Indianapolis or Pike Township, Marion County, Indiana.

Non-notable musician. The article is heavily based of one of its sources (http://secretthirteen.org/paul-jebanasam-subtext-mix/), with a few more details. Also investigating the edit log, it appears that the article was first created by a user called "Subtext Recordings", the record label Jebanasam supposedly signs for.
I originally PRODded the article back in March, but withdrawn it due to sources being added. However, going back again and digging a little bit deeper, I'm now not sure these sources are separated enough to show proper notability.
Furthermore, at the time of nomination, at least four of the sources are illegitimate - one is currently broken, two are internal Wikipedia redirects to another record label, and one is his Bandcamp page. The others appear to be promotional pieces for an album of his, thus making them rather contentious sources and potentially not neutral enough to be trustworthy. ↅ𝜞 (Contact me) (See my edits) 22:01, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

I have been able to find surprisingly little about this band in reliable independent sources considering the number of releases. I did find a news article confirming that they opened for Platinum Blonde at least once. The Pop Encyclopedia article appears to have been written mainly from information provided by the band members. Perhaps another editor will find something I missed. —Anne Delong (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep, surprisingly. This is definitely inadequate as written, but I actually was able to find some better sources in a ProQuest "Canadian Newsstream" search — not a ton, I'll admit, but enough — as well as evidence that they charted in RPM. And even more weirdly, while I'd have to investigate more thoroughly before making a final determination one way or the other, there's at least the possibility that lead singer Kevin Connelly may also separately clear GNG as an individual since I found a couple of sources about his later solo career in the process — which, if borne out, would also put them past the criterion of having had two independently notable members (even though Les Stroud is technically notable for television work rather than anything related to music per se, he's still notable.) Also, turns out that the first album's producer got a Producer of the Year nomination from the Juno Awards for it, too. I don't have time to tackle this right away, but I'll take a stab at improving it this evening. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
- Article updated with improved content and sourcing. And I'm writing a song of praise to ProQuest too, as that database now gives me quite a large spectrum of newspapers that it never had at all before this week, including two from which I've pulled citations here.

- Keep. No reason provided to delete. The way to deal with inaccuracies is to edit with citations from WP:RELIABLE sources, not delete. There is a guideline WP:DUE and supplement WP:Inaccuracy explaining how to respond to inaccurate information. Jack N. Stock (talk) 01:08, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep (Added subsequently. Agree with the comments of other editors. Lourdes 20:07, 6 July 2017 (UTC)) Comment Which inaccuracies would you be referring to Wikilady2345? If you're referring to the silly Daily Mail reference provided in the article, I have removed it right now. Generally, inaccuracy is not reason enough to delete. Please read WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES for guidance on what reasons may be appropriate to request for deletion. Thanks. Lourdes 01:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Inaccuracies are there to be fixed, rather than articles being deleted as a result thereof. The school itself would appear to have sufficient coverage to be notable. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 01:11, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Poorly sourced biography of a dog, whose only discernible claim of notability is having a bit of a social media following because her owner posts pictures of her dressed up as RuPaul's Drag Race personalities. Of the sources present here, half of them are primary sources (the dog's own website, sources affiliated directly with RPDR) and two more are to a blog -- leaving just two reliable sources (Attitude and Get Leashed), both of which are really just photo galleries wrapped by mere blurbs worth of actual text content about the dog. Basically, none of this is a substantive reason for an encyclopedia article to exist, or a viable pass of WP:GNG -- if the dog were a human we'd be deleting this as a WP:BLP1E, so I don't see a compelling reason to treat it differently just because she's a dog. (And no, this is not a cats vs. dogs thing. I love dogs.) Bearcat (talk) 00:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events" and this also applies to dogs. This is a bunch of silly stories over 2 weeks or so.
