  • Delete, though the deletion rationale is rather harsh considering there is a list of awards and LaFleur claims to have exhibited internationally (well, Kuwait). However, I can't find any reviews of her exhibitions online, or coverage about her (apart from a photo in Broadway World). The awards don't seem to be significant, from non-notable galleries/museums. This article was declined as a draft at AfC but the author decided to publish it anyway. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST at the moment. Sionk (talk) 22:53, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is merely a WP:DICDEF and shouldn't merit a page, similar to the deleted "signature move". I couldn't find sources describing "signature weapons" to the extent of demonstrating notability. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move and re-formulate/refactor as List of signature weapons (maybe starting it out as Draft:List of signature weapons until reformatted), which would be an interesting, notable, and valuable list article. There are already about 20 great examples in the article already, easily cited, and they would make the basis of an interesting and useful list article. Softlavender (talk) 01:19, 16 September 2017 (UTC); edited 02:22, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I wouldn't be opposed, but only if it was draftified until said list was not unreferenced cruft. Otherwise, I think Category:Fictional weapons does that job, as most of the things there tend to be "signature" weapons. I also think that might go against WP:INDISCRIMINATE, though.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:46, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Fictional weapons" is not the same as "signature weapons", and many or most signature weapons are not fictional but real weapons. In addition, categories and list articles do not preclude each other; both are recommended when a category reaches a certain size and/or particular items in the list do not have dedicated articles. Softlavender (talk) 02:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to list per the excellent suggestion by Softlavender. I think this article is a perfect candidate for a list, and I agree that there are already many examples in the article that can be used. Agree also that in many cases the weapons will not be fictional and will therefore not present a significant overlap with a list of fictional weapons. In addition, a list such as this should (hopefully) be easier to curate, given that signature should convey some degree of significance/notability.

This article is about a person with a youtube channel who is not notable. The article includes references to primary souurces and unreliable websites. Notability has not been established. Lacypaperclip (talk) 22:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP - Has appeared on multiple TV shows and been on television many times Thursby16 (talk) 23:06, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Fowlie's notability seems established by coverage of him and his web series in HuffPo, The Advocate, and other reliables sources (three of which were removed by the nominator as citation overkill, which is fine, but I've restored them to the Ext links section of the article, as they speak to his notability). Primary sources (well actually, pretty much only one, YouTube) are only used to cite works in his filmography table, and based on edit summaries I believe the "unreliable website" the nominator is referring to is Facebook, which is used to cite Fowlie's hometown, an acceptable practice per WP:SELFSOURCE.— TAnthonyTalk 22:02, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP - As the creator of the article I believe this article focuses on a rising star in the comedy and acting world as well as a prominent figure in LGBT culture in the 2010s. His work with the Huffington Post as well as his acting roles with the Disney Channel and HBO should be enough merit for keeping the article with additional citations that I'd be happy to research and provide.

As mentioned on FTN, the great majority of this is self-published and otherwise non-independent or non-reliable sources. Attempting to remove those leaves a draft that is not worth posting. Attempting to find other sources and improve the article while remaining within WP:CCPOL results in an unsalvagable mess. Much of the text is refutation of casting doubt on the subject's self-claims. There is one WP:RS about the article subject; a Las Vegas Sun article larded with so many "he claims" and "somebody else says" and other qualifications as to render it nearly useless.

Sockpuppet comment(s)
The word "source" when citing sources on Wikipedia has three related meanings:
  • The piece of work itself (the article, book)
  • The creator of the work (the writer, journalist)
  • The publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press)
And all of the sourcing and references by this page are fitted from those three sources, this is not a Original researches or a hoax, even it was based from a blog sites which had no references, as the people who want to delete the article must look on the lists of references , every statements from the page had citations this is even not came from Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, Unpublished materials are not considered reliable. as wikipedia policy says , the lists of references are come from the academic and scholar works and even news from reliable news agencies such as Philippine Daily Inquirer for example, (one of the list of references) as if the users or admins is aren't consider this news site as a reliable or irrelevant. in short theirs no question of the accuracy of the page as it was backed by reliable-academic sourcing, and speaking of a "banned sock", there are NO stated rules in the 14 rules of WP:Deletion had stated "delete an article which is created by a banned editor despite or even of its reliability" NONE ! (Dashcam (talk) 05:35, 1 September 2017 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep. Do we delete articles just because they are created by a sock? There is quite a lot of good, well-sourced content here. For consistency with other national archaeology overview articles we should probably rename to Archaeology of the Philipines and clean it up a bit (it looks like there are some copyvio issues), but it seems a shame to lose it altogether. Also, I don't see a tag on Hunter05, are they a confirmed sock? – Joe (talk) 09:41, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and/or Split. Not just because it's created by a Sock (no further comment on that for now, because I haven't reviewed the evidence), but because it ignores some fundamental problems of "Philippine" history - which is that it really wasn't "Philippine" history per se before the 1500s. Ask any historiographer or anthropologist and they'll agree that "Philippine" history presents a patently false sense of politico-cultural continuity. The presence of the article alone is a POV-push issue. An article like this is important, yes, but it really should be reconstituted as (1) Lists of Artifacts from separate ethnolinguistic regions (The Sulu archipelago, Mindanao, the Visayas, the Bicol region, the Tagalog Region, Central Luzon, The Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and the Cordilleran peoples); plus (2) a list of artifacts from the prehistory of the Philippine archipelago (to cover the early habitation and migrations period); (3) a list of artifacts from Philippine Colonial History (I will argue that this is also needed); and possibly (4) a list of artifacts from Philippine Contemporary History (say, after Philippine independence from the US. I'm a bit more iffy on this, but this includes things like Ninoy Aquino's bloody bulletproof vest, remnants from the Magsaysay plane crash, etc.) I agree that the content here should be kept as much as possible, but organizing it this way is just... misleading. - Alternativity (talk) 10:59, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rename/Additinal comment - Upon considering more options, I now support the idea of renaming this as Archaeology of the Philipines, although I still feel it needs to be reorganized to avoid POV/synthesis issues, and rewritten to remove nationalist peacock terms. - Alternativity (talk) 05:16, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Since when a wikipedia article serves as an artifact /archaeological findings catalogue? If followed through completely, this article might developed into an extra long page. Imagine if a country with a longer and richer history and tradition than the Philippines — such as Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Greece, India or China, create this kind of article? A serial book or a catalogue is more suitable for this kind of long article/list. Plus in the "List of artifacts in Philippine history#Recorded contacts from foreign trades and affairs from contemporary kingdoms" section that contains obscure and spurious claims of Philippines past contacts to Greek kingdom of Ptolemy, Ancient India, and Persia is kind of stretching too far and went out of historiography discipline. But then again how I'm not surprise.., since this article was created by a sockpuppet with an agenda to rewrite Philippines history through creating a pseudohistory. Some of of these artifacts or findings is maybe valid, so with its references. However, considering the notorious bad practice of this sockpuppet to provide false refs; which providing a reference that look so valid, but after careful examination, mention nothing about the claimed section. I do not have the time and patience to examine each of these refs, but then again.., this subject is not suitable to be composed as a wikipedia article. So please delete it already. —  Gunkarta  talk  15:47, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Gunkarta: See Special:PrefixIndex/Archaeology of and Special:PrefixIndex/Archaeology in. Of course it shouldn't be comprehensive catalogue, but an outline of notable discoveries is a perfectly encyclopaedic topic. – Joe (talk) 20:06, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe Roe: Still did not convince me to keep this article. Plus thanks to Hunter05 and Dashcam that has invested their interest, this article has already developed into a confusing jumble of Philippines artifacts list, that some of them are even too obscure and unclear to be categorized as archaeological findings and lack of notability. Also some parts contains dubious claims with questionable refs, especially that "Recorded contacts from foreign trades and affairs from contemporary kingdoms" table that links Philippines to all that faraway civilizations including Ptolemaic Kingdom. Plus by inventing that obscure term "Archaic epoch" (?) of the Philippines history. Previously I've been interacted and witnessed the work of this JournalmanManila sockpuppet aka User:Hunter05 that created this article. I strongly believe he does not respect copyright, the scientific approach on writing history, nor possessed a required discipline in historiography, as he often spinning to fringe theory, inventing pseudohistory and resorting to spurious claims, even falsifying refs while editing to back up his claims. Possibly motivated by undue nationalistic agenda to rewrite and represent the history of his country in a more glorious light, he often invented a pseudohistory that despite the scarcity of archaeological findings, he describes pre-Hispanic Philippines as a strongly Indic-influenced civilization that somewhat in par with Angkorian Cambodia and ancient Java. Delete this article, and create a new "Archaeology of Philippines" article from scratch, free from all that rubbish, spurious claims and false refs, is more make sense and economic than trying to sort through or try to make sense of all this jumbled up information. —  Gunkarta  talk  23:28, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep i find out the list of references are comes from academic sourcing, even the external links are valid there are mentioned NO fabrication or pseudo-history so far in any stated items, because of supporting references and passed as encyclopedic (WP:Source) despite of it was created by a sock good for this is ; we should review and correct the terms of some stated artifacts instead
Suggestion considering of the Academic sourcing, I support of renaming it as Archaeology of the Philipines or Archaeology in the Philipines instead of deleting this and check the page for the clean up in shorter terms the page is legit but we should check and clean this up, we need to be sure of its accuracy for the improvement.(Pricedelink (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2017 (UTC)) Pricedelink (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Potential keep but rename somehow. We have a series of articles on Philippines history and prehistory, but having something by way of overview is also potentially useful. This has the potential to become a useful list article. Whether or not some of the content is FRINGE is not an AFD issue: that can easily be removed by editing. As to the target, I am not sure that "archaeology" is right. Unless some one indicates that "archaic" is a term that is used, I would suggest "medieval" instead. In some Nordic countries "prehistoric ends at a similar date. I do not think it is so bad as to need TNT. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and start entirely afresh I have already expressed my position regarding the organization of the article in my comments above. I've had to think a lot about the usability of the sources in this article and in light of the suggestion of User:Gunkarta above, I'm now also convinced that we should start afresh with an Archeology of the Philippines article. Such an article, not being just a list, would be able to put the listed artifacts in context. I'd like to participate in writing that article, but I'll await the community's pleasure regarding next steps, first.- Alternativity (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
An addendum: Please note that the sockpuppet in question has had a history of borrowing citations from other wiki pages and using them to assert "facts" which aren't in the original. (I have particular concerns about his past use of Scott's Prehispanic Source Materials, and of Bellwood's "Pathos of Origin" (Paths of Origins - he doesn't even bother to get the title right.) .Gunkarta and I have both had to undo some of the damage done in the past, and the cost he is referring to is of reviewing the article line by line, and checking not only if the fact is in the reference cited, but whether it has been misrepresented through cherrypicking or through peacock terms and weasel words. To be fair, the sockpuppet has indirectly led to the improved coverage of precolonial Philippine articles. But that's because s/he keeps manufacturing fringe articles so fast that other editors are forced to come up with orthodox articles, lest the coverage of Philippine prehistory and early history be made up completely of fringe theories and nationalist/postcolonial mythologies. - Alternativity (talk) 06:21, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support of Keeping and Renaming WHY? because as i checked the page and its content and it was a Legit, and i stand based on the wikipedia's policies on keeping and deleting and it had been passed to the academic sourcing WP:VERIFY, the content of this page had been analyzed and it comes material from reliable non-academic sources, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream publications. reliable sources include:
  • University-level textbooks
  • Books published by respected publishing houses
  • Magazines
  • Journals Published
  • Mainstream newspapers - Inquirer for example (As one of it source)
  • Academic sourcing
  • The piece of work itself (the article, book)
  • The creator of the work (the writer, journalist)
  • The publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press)
which is the STANDARD core for being and encyclopedic Source or references. all what we need now is only Clean it up and Renaming this and i think it is not appropriate to accusing anyone which stands for wiki standards. and it seems dubious why some users here if they know the policies of deletion , what i mean was we need to Review and check Sourcing of any article before we act on something like deletion as i said earlier this article had a potential just keep it clean!

Additional Comment PS before i decide to Keep or to Delete this content , i check the following Rules actually i looking on it flaws to decide if to keep or to trash it , but all of the sourcing and the external links are legit so far on my observations, so to be in neutral the only thing i am not sure was the terms that used so for now i Still convinced to Keep it for a while and support Renaming of it .

  • Comment. - Expressing support for Joe's request. Given the tainted slant of the text, I still think a total restart is more feasible than having to do a line by line revision for source verification and POV/Neutrality issue resolving. But it would be useful to have a draft version of this temporarily stored somewhere. While the text is oftentimes suspect and usually weasely-peacocky, the sources merit evaluating and checking one by one, and the best way to do that after a delete is to have a temporary draft. That said, may I ask where the community thinks it would be appropriate to discuss the organization of an Archaeology of the Philippines article? That topic will require a lot of input since anything earlier than the 1570s has to deal with the separate cultures and polities plus socio-technological eras. (Some combination of the proposed outlines of Scott (1994) and Jocano (2001), I suppose? I don' remember if Joaquin (1986) or Samuel Tan proposed anything specific. I'd have to check...) Anyway.

The result was keep. The article has been expanded from a dicdef since the AfD started and the discussion has moved from a preference for redirecting towards one for keep/merge, so I'm closing the AfD to remove the ugly red box from it since clearly there is clearly no consensus to delete. The decision of whether to keep the content as a standalone article and expand it, or merge it into another article, is one that can be made through discussion on the article talk, without a deadline. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 22:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I searched for this term and found relatively few uses, but did find an example like this [1] that begins by specifying it as the religious aspect of Cultural Assimilation.

@Jclemens: It is a longstanding practice to merge stubby content into supertopic articles, and then break it out again when the material is sufficiently expanded within the supertopic.

  • Redirect to Cultural assimilation; no sources have been presented at this AfD to indicate that the subject is independently notable. None are present in the article, and my searches have not produced anything amounting to SIGCOV. The term gets used link, but it's unclear whether it's been a subject of study independent of cultural or ethnic assimilation. No prejudice to restoring to a full article if can be done with sufficient RS. A redirect works for now. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:42, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and do not redirect. I've narrowed the definition to avoid the WP:DICDEF problem (syncretism is a separate concept). I've also added a major reference (a Princeton University doctoral dissertation) that makes the point that dominant cultures treat religion differently from other aspects of cultural assimilation. A specific focus on religious assimilation, documented in sources, warrants a separate article—even though of course the more general concept of cultural assimilation will be discussed, if only to distinguish religious assimilation as an important special case.
There is a severe problem with access to sources due to copywrong and paywall issues, as well as old paper-only documents. For example, I cannot use the following, simply because I have no access to it:
Farr, Eugene (1948). Religious assimilation: a case study of the adoption of Christianity by the Choctaw Indians of Mississippi (ThD dissertation). New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
The same is true of the books on Rwanda and on Eastern European Jews that show up at the top of the Google Books search. Nevertheless, WP:NEXIST states: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." By that standard, the warrant for a separate article on this topic should never have been in the slightest doubt.
Syrenka V (talk) 11:00, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I've added two more references, with inline citations and further discussion of the relationships between religious assimilation and other aspects of cultural assimilation. Although still a stub, this article already establishes notability.

  • Redirect to cultural assimilation, with no prejudice against a selective Merge. Of three sources in the current version, two are unpublished. A dissertation and thesis can be good sources, but (a) both talk about this in the context of cultural assimilation, and (b) in the context of this article, both are primary sources, the point of which is to make a novel claim. When a dissertation is published and/or other people start to take up that idea is when Wikipedia covers it. Cultural assimilation is a huge subject, too, so I'd want to see a great deal of sources to justify a stand-alone article for a subtype. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The size of the topic of cultural assimilation is an argument for, not against, splitting off separate treatment of subtypes, particularly those seen in the sources as significantly different from the general case. As noted above, there are many more sources behind paywalls; these are the ones I could easily access on the timescale of an AfD. Of the sources cited, only LeMay 2010 is being used as a primary source, and then only as an example to show that a particular kind of viewpoint is in fact held by some researchers—not to attest to the validity of that viewpoint. Both citations from Connor 2010 are from discussions of the prior literature, and Yang and Ebaugh 2001 is likewise used to attest to the views of Will Herberg and other religious pluralists in the earlier literature. WP:NOR, section WP:PRIMARY: "A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one, and sources can contain both primary and secondary source material for the same statement." Except for LeMay 2010, these sources are being used as secondary.
The sources cited are all unequivocally published by Wikipedia's standards, which are very broad. WP:V, section WP:SOURCE including footnote 6:
Source material must have been published, the definition of which for our purposes is "made available to the public in some form". This includes material such as documents in publicly accessible archives, inscriptions on monuments, gravestones, etc., that are available for anyone to see.
Availability on ProQuest or on Sophia University's website would definitely count. WP:RS, section WP:SCHOLARSHIP, explicitly allows use of publicly available, completed doctoral dissertations.
Syrenka V (talk) 07:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The size of the topic of cultural assimilation is an argument for, not against, splitting off I think I get what you mean by this, but what I mean is, effectively WP:NOPAGE. It's a minor subtopic of a subject we already cover.
Source material must have been published, the definition of which for our purposes is "made available to the public in some form". We're not looking for verifiability, which is what this sense of "published" means (literally everything on the Internet meets this definition). We're looking for notability and the reliability of sources to establish notability. That requires sources to be published in the sense of a third party determining that the content meets standards for quality and has merit/is worthy of notice. That's why it matters if an article about a subject was on someone's blog or in the New York Times. Granted, a dissertation is better than a blog, and I think it could be used in the article, but I don't think it contributes much to WP:GNG unless it's been published (in the sense of a press). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:NOPAGE itself, within WP:N: "an article may be a stub even though many sources exist, but simply have not been included yet. Such a short page is better expanded than merged into a larger page". "Is", not "may be". A generalized preference for merging stubs goes against the GNG, except in the case where they cannot be expanded for lack of existing sources. And "minor" is not a reasonable description of the scope of the topic by any stretch of the imagination, as even the few sources already in use demonstrate, let alone the many others easily found by search but not easily accessible as full text.
WP:NOPAGE also mentions cases where merging with a larger topic provides context needed to understand the more specific topic, or where many similar topics are better handled together because more or less the same things need to be said about all of them. In this case, even the very brief stub I have (re)written already demonstrates that there are fundamental differences between the sociology of religious assimilation and that of other forms of cultural assimilation. A treatment of religious assimilation that considers it first and foremost as a subcategory of cultural assimilation would, by that fact alone, be actively misleading.
As to reliability of dissertations as sources: although WP:N does have some additional requirements for sources to establish notability (independence, and at least one secondary source), nothing anywhere in WP:N supports a different or higher standard for reliability of sources than the general standards of WP:RS. The scrutiny provided by Princeton University's sociology department—which must approve any dissertation used to support conferral of its doctorate—is likely more rigorous than that provided by most book publishers (although likely less rigorous than that applied by Princeton University Press). WP:SCHOLARSHIP within WP:RS does mention citation in the literature as further confirmation of the reliability of a dissertation; Google scholar shows that Connor 2010 has been cited 7 times.

    • I appreciate the complimentary remark as to content quality! I could do better yet if I had more expertise in interpreting the hundreds of pages of Connor 2010, and access to more of the existing paper or paywalled sources—indeed, a real sociologist with in-person access to a large university library could probably make a Featured Article from this little stub, whose modest size conceals a vast topic. Because of that topic size, however, as well as the very different sociological behavior of religious assimilation versus other forms of cultural assimilation that I mentioned above, I continue to oppose merging with Cultural assimilation.

  • Keep: Commenting on this overdue for close AFD. It seems likely to me that the subject is notable though the article is no masterpiece, typical of articles on many structures in India. If this was all we could find on a similar hall in New York City, where online access to newspapers information is much more robust, I might feel differently. I would also be comfortable with a no consensus close.--Milowenthasspoken 17:42, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to C. Kesavan. I disagree that it's notable enough for an article of it's own, even if it were in New York I doubt it would be the subject of news articles.

  • Merge to Kollam Cantonment as the town hall is situated there. I disagree with the other redirect targets. Buildings can change names but their location is usually fixed. Merging the useful information to the cantonment article seems to be a reasonable solution. I am not in favour of having a separate article because there are not enough references to justify one.--DreamLinker (talk) 02:45, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DreamLinker, hope you're doing well. I feel that when a person types the term "C. Kesavan Memorial Municipal Town Hall", they're not intending to read about Kollam Cantonment. It is more pertinent to redirect them to a page on C. Kesavan so that they can get a background of the person on whom the hall is named. If a page on C. Kesavan had not existed, I would have been okay with a redirect or merge to Kollam cantonment. But we do have a page on Kesavan that is appropriate. With respect to your contention that buildings may be renamed in the future (and therefore we should only merge to Kollam cantonment), that's a future premise that can't be predicted. If the building gets renamed in the future, we could revisit the redirect or create a separate article. But basing a merge suggestion on the premise that the building's name may be changed in the future, is perhaps incorrect. Warmly. Lourdes 04:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your answer. However, as I stated in the first sentence of my vote, my reason for redirecting it to the cantonment is because the building is a part of the kollam cantonment. Regardless of the name, it should be merged to the next larger geographic entity which contains it. This is for consistency with other similar articles on artificial geographic features. In this particular case it is a community hall which is connected more to the immediate community in the locality. Btw, in India, buildings are often named after politicians even though the politicians may not have any significant connection to the building. In such cases, it seems weird to redirect it to the article of the person. A Mahatma Gandhi road in X city should redirect to the transport section of the article about x and not Mahatma Gandhi.--DreamLinker (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I understand what you're saying DreamLinker. So in other words, if an article like Gandhi Smriti were a redirect, then as per you, it should be a redirect to New Delhi rather than to the individual in whose name the museum exists... (iffy, as per me) I can see the advantage of placing details of the hall in both the C. Kesavan article (he's not one at Mahatma Gandhi level and his relevance seems to be local) and in the Kollam cantonment article. Therefore, would you consider changing your !vote to "Redirect to Kollam Cantonment while Merging contents to both C. Kesavan and Kollam Cantonment". What do you think? Thanks. Lourdes 11:17, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The example you quoted is not exactly analogous. Gandhi Smriti is a museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. (Interestingly, I had no idea it was called Gandhi Smriti btw. I have always heard it being called "Birla House"). On the other hand, this community hall is not a building dedicated to preserving the memory of the person. I would simply merge and redirect to the Kollam Cantonment article. I agree with you that a sentence or two should be be mentioned in the C. Kesavan article. (I will just add it myself). Thank you for your reply and proposing a good solution.--DreamLinker (talk) 17:33, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks DreamLinker. You say: "On the other hand, this community hall is not a building dedicated to preserving the memory of the person." The building is named "C. Kesavan Memorial Municipal Town Hall". There is a notable statue too of C. Kesavan placed in the building premises. As much as an observer like me would understand, the town hall is named so purely to preserve the memory of C. Kesavan. I'm not sure I understand you correctly. At the same time, I'll extend my efforts and place the contents of this article to Kollam Cantonment so that the Afd can be closed as a redirect to Kollam Cantonment or to C. Kesavan; I'm okay with either. Thanks. Lourdes 00:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax? I can find references to the "apple feat" of Cuchulain, juggling nine apples, but this "apple feat", which involves throwing the specially prepared brains of enemies, seems to be much harder to verify (it may appear in some books I can't access, but even then it has to be pretty obscure, much more so than the Cuchulain apple feat.

  • Delete - That there was an (almost entirely notional/mythical) "warrior feat" called the "apple feat" is somewhat documented. Mainly in 19th century Gaelic revival works that cover some of this folklore. However, as noted, much of what we see in this article is uncited (and potentially therefore invented). I would recommend that this be deleted. On the basis of WP:GNG (only references I can find are of the passing/trivial kind, where this "feat" is listed with 29 other such mythical feats). And on the basis of WP:NOTDICTIONARY (just because a term was used at some point, we don't need an article for it). If required, this concept can be covered (as it is in the sources) as a passing reference in a broader article. Like Irish folklore of similar. Guliolopez (talk) 13:02, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As this can help many young children and entrepreneurs. He is really a talented guy who is doing a great job in educating people free of cost.

Comment from deletion nominator Now that the page has been restored, I have more comments. In my view, the article still lacks notability and is in danger of reaching WP:BOMBARD, as the article section regarding the film's musical score contains citations more about the career of the score producer that of the movie itself. There remains no credible coverage of the film itslef, as the only citations that meet Wikipedia's criteria are about one actor in the film (who is the son of a famous comedian, as can be seen in the titles of the sources in question) or the film's score producer, not about the film itself. It is still to early to keep this as an article.--SamHolt6 (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete aside from the suspicious behavior of those in favor of keeping the article, there is no real evidence of notability. The plot section in particular in not written in an encyclopedic style at all. It appears that this article was created by someone with little to no knowledge of how Wikipedia works, perhaps with the motive of promoting the upcoming movie.

Given the difficulty of getting sources from a foreign language, and given that the film isn't even released yet, it seems to have received a credible amount of notice from various sources. Alsee (talk) 00:32, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As before, the new sources cited do not (in my opinion) cover the subject in depth. The first source [2] is a press release, three sources report on the debut of Anbu (the son of Mayilsamy, a famous comedian) in acting, but do not cover the movie in depth, and the last source ([3]) is a link to a movie poster. Per WP:NFILM, none of these sources (and none of the previous ones) indicate the encyclopedic value of a future film.--SamHolt6 (talk) 01:18, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, There seems to be few people who wants this page to be taken down for invalid reason. First of all to clear the doubts, am not the one who has created the page. I have added and modified the page with further information that I got. I hail from Chennai and I know about the movie progress and hence decided to contribute to this article. The movie is in final stages and nearing its release. Does it mean that unreleased movies are not subjected to appear in wikipedia? I have seen so many film pages with only few lines and have months to go for its release is running fine in wiki. I wonder why you guys are showing this much interest in deleting this upcoming film page! You can still find enough material online to cover on the film subject. Yes, there are not much of news or articles about the movie in depth but that doesn't mean that it should not be on wikipedia. I wish you people read more local cinema news so that it can be helpful in covering the topic on a wider range and contribute. Looking forward in approving the page.

@Mrgrockz: Per [4], you are the creator of the article. This would normally not be of great concern, but in this case it is due to your attempt at a non-admin closure. As to your points, subjects without in-depth coverage fail Wikipedia's sourcing criteria (WP:VER) and as this is a film article it fails WP:NFILM. You stated that other editors should read more local cinema news, and while Wikipedia has no issue citing local news, editors have to keep WP:GEOSCOPE in mind and traditionally significant coverage must be found for a film at any rate. My views on this issue remain unchanged--SamHolt6 (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mrgrockz, the article will probably be moved to Draft:Thiripuram. Once the movie is released you can move the page back as an article, or ask for assistance at WP:Help desk. (Do not copy&paste the content as a new page.) You can update the page with new information while it is a draft, or any other time. Alsee (talk) 06:38, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - None of the coverage is substantial. That may change closer to the release date, or after its release. A few lines about this being the movie acting debut of the son of a famous person does not represent significant coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 00:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have struggled to decide whether to nominate this for deletion, as it is a frequent word in the scientific literature about speciation and biogeography. My concern is that, in contemporary literature, it is used interchangeably with allopatric speciation. Biogeographers use the term vicariance, while evolutionary biologists use the term allopatric. The allopatric article gives a full description of vicariance as it is vital define allopatric separation, the vicariance article; however, covers very little. It is under-referenced and contains a few contradictory statements. It seems largely irrelevant and should probably be deleted and turned into a redirect to allopatric speciation. Andrew Z.

Redirect Agree with nominator; this appears to be a partial content fork of allopatric speciation, which clearly lays out the usage commonalities and differences between the two terms and covers all facets of the concept in considerably greater depth. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I should add that, if you look at the redirects to allopatric speciation, it has the terms Vicariance theory, Vicariant, Vicariant event, Vicariant specation, Vicariant speciation. This is basically a testament to the fact that Vicariance is a content fork. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 07:39, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A contested WP:BLAR. I cannot find any notability outside of the Judge Dredd universe, but I am far from a comic book expert. As far as I can tell, this is a minor character that only appears every so often. To me, WP:DEL7, WP:DEL8, and WP:PLOT seem to apply. That being said, it would be a handy redirect to List_of_minor_characters_in_Judge_Dredd#Shojun_the_Warlord. menaechmi (talk) 18:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion. No real-world notability (and he doesn't even appear "every so often", he appeared in six issues in 1986 and that was it), plot only, and has a paragraph in the "minor characters" article. Not notable, not necessary, not encyclopedic. --Nicknack009 (talk) 18:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not voting or expressing a view either way, but as a point of fact the only reason the character has an entry in the "list of minor characters" article is because this article had recently been redirected to "Judge Dredd", and so a condensed version of it was added to the list. It shouldn't be cited as a reason to delete or redirect. Richard75 (talk) 20:29, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support keep. Character was the catalyst for major impact on Dredd universe and long term story treads, forcing the Chef to resign leading to a new Chief, who causes major errors over a number of years causing the old Chief to return new demented. Using no real world notability as an argument to delete is mute reason as 98% of the comic characters with pages on Wikipedia have no real world notability for example, the guy who shot batman's parents or uncle Joe have no importance to the comic world other than plot points and only appear once when the series is being rebooted so frequency is also no argument for deletion in this case. 86.167.83.232 (talk) 07:54, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You clearly don't understand what "real-world notability" means. Impact on the Judge Dredd universe (which in any case is pretty minor) is irrelevant. Is Shojun the Warlord, as a character, known to anybody in the real world beyond Judge Dredd obsessives? Does he have significant coverage in reliable secondary sources? The answer to that is clearly no. He's a plot point from thirty years ago.
The Judge Dredd comic series itself has real-world notability. Its publishing history and significant plot points should have (proportionate) coverage, and Shojun the Warlord's attack on Mega-City One and the resulting resignation of Chief Judge McGruder would merit some place there. But this is fancruft. Wikipedia is neither an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a place to summarise plots. If this were a Judge Dredd fan wiki, an article like this would be perfectly fine - but not in an encyclopedia. The existence of other articles that fail real world notability does not justify this one. --Nicknack009 (talk) 11:14, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No is you does not know what is notable and what isn't, this page has plenty of notability (just claiming he has not appeared in thirty years is no excuse on notability). All the Judge Dredd wikipedia page are very frequently used by people (just check youtube) to research the subject not just the Dredd obsessive as you call them and just saying its un encyclopaedic is non argument just used by people with no real arguments to fight with.

  • Keep - With my experience writing articles on historic and obscure (but notable) music figures, the fact Danielle, a person with absolutely no musical talent whatsoever, is a "singer" makes me lose faith in the modern music industry. Now that my personal opinion is out of the way, here is my take on policy and notability: she did record a song which entered the Billboard Hot 100 and is signed to Atlantic Records, a major record label. She passes WP:NMUSIC. The fact the article creator waited until this recent breakthrough, instead of hastily pushing an article about an instagram "celebrity" months ago, discredits the assertion this is WP:TOOSOON.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article for a game that is in the pre-alpha stage is clearly a case of WP:TOOSOON the sources do not prove notability. 13 of the 21 sources are affiliated and are mostly the developers own blog or youtube videos. 4 do not mention the subject, 4 are from 2014 and smack of churnalism et rehash of a press release. This looks like an attempt by someone linked to the developer to promote his game. The article was moved to draft space and was then moved to the mainspace by the creator without having been submitted for review. Domdeparis (talk) 16:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - There are many reliable sources that come up. Gamasutra PCGamer RockPaper Shotgun Kotaku Your deletion argument accuses WP:RUBBISH, which is a surmountable problem, and WP:ASSERTN, an incorrect argument.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:07, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Those sources are all from 2014 and talk about the project none of them are reviews of the game itself which is understandable as according to the article it is in its pre-alpha phase. PC Gamer and Kotaku are simply quoting Gamasutra and the developer's blog (possible churnalism or simply rehashing) and Rock Paper Shotgun says he is skeptical that the game will ever come off and, I quote "the other big concern is that this project could fizzle out before it ever really picks up steam,"...3 years down the line there are no new stories about this project apart from the developers blog and this wikipedia page...I'm afraid I don't call that notable. No-one has reviewed any version of the game itself. We are judging notability of a game and not a project. If I contact a few gaming magazines saying that i am going to build a game that will outdo the Number 1 (which I have no intention of doing) and it gets reported that I am making that claim is my imaginary game notable enough for an article? There are no reliable independent sources to prove that this Citybound project has got past the stage of saying "this is what I plan". Is this a basis for notability and your keep !vote? have you found any other sources because I am still far from convinced? Domdeparis (talk) 17:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I would also add that WP:NVG in a nutshell says " A video game release is appropriate for a stand-alone article if it has been the subject of significant commentary in multiple published sources which are independent of the video game developer." There are 2 words that don't apply here, "release" and "significant"...the game hasn't been released and signifiant commentary is defined as "Significant commentary should report more than basic game data (such as its title, platform, publisher, and creative staff). Commentary should be critical and detailed." These articles are far from doing that. Domdeparis (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    "Those sources are all from 2014 and talk about the project none of them are reviews of the game itself" Umm... by "project" do you mean the development of the game? A game doesn't need to be finished to have an article, which seems to be what you're insinuating. It doesn't even need to be finished ever, as long as it was notable while in development. If it was talking about an external project like a Kickstarter, that's a different story, but they are literally just mentioning a game in development.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Beware WP:SUSTAINED. Your line of argument has tripped me up before. In general, we should have something more than announcement coverage before an article is created. What ideally seals the notability is the reviews, and we don't have any (though from the official website it looks like the game will soon be at a point where we might be seeing previews). --Izno (talk) 20:35, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Zxcvbnm We only have the developers blog as proof that the game is in development. He sent some graphics to a few magazines with some PR stuff. It got talked about 3 years ago and then nothing. I can't get my head around how you think this is notable. I quoted the NVG essay and you just seem to have zapped that. I am far from being an expert on video games but there must be literally thousands of projects that never see the light of day. The developer made some statement that creates a buzz but if you read the comments on the different sources no-one thinks that this guy is capable of doing what he says he will do. And 3 years down the line there is nothing more being said about it from secondary sources...unless you've found some. The sources on the page and the ones you found do not support notability... it's as simple as that. This story has gone to bed and noone is interested in it. Maybe when he does release a version that reviewers can test then it will become notable but as of now it just ain't! Domdeparis (talk) 22:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've nuked the primary sourcing, which is indeed trash. I'll take a look at this later this weekend to see if I've got a !vote on this. --Izno (talk) 17:13, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    So, most of the sources available to us are from spring 2014: RPS 1, RPS 2, RPS 3, Gamasutra, PCGamer, VG247, USGamer, Kotaku; while one is from fall 2014: RPS 4. My inclination, since we haven't really seen coverage since, is to add a paragraph or so to SimCity (2013 video game), since this project appears to have been started as direct "SimCity 2013" remedy. Merge. This can-or-should be WP:SPLIT from there at a later date, if more coverage is garnered. --Izno (talk) 20:35, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I reread the 2014 autumn article and at the end it says an alpha version was planned for later that month and the WP article claims it's at the pre alpha stage...3 years later...and this article is the very latest independent source about this game...I'm sorry but this can't be worthy of an encyclopedia article not by any stretch of the imagination.

    What would help, both at WP:BEFORE and to improve the encyclopedia in general, is if sports bio editors were to follow MOS:BIO#Positions and roles and use the lead to say what makes the subject notable. There are far too many footballer pages like this one where the lead consists of one sentence that says what team the player currently plays or last played for, however minor that team might be, while failing to mention that they played for their country, as here, or made 100s of appearances in major leagues before dropping down the levels. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:14, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am bringing it to AfD to draw more eyes to the discussion.

  • Delete — Whatever technical problems that might exist with the nomination, the nominator's addendum that coverage in trade magazines alone might not suffice is helpful. The brief mentions in The Stranger (newspaper), The Seattle P-I and The Tukwila Reporter are WP:ROUTINE blurbs written in the time honored form "press release -> lazy reporter -> filler". Significant coverage is usually the result of a reporter doing actual reporting work, leaving their desk, going outside, gathering information, interviewing people. The subject itself is run of the mill: a guy opens a small business in 2009, makes widgets, buys another small widget maker, moves to larger facility. Several hundred thousand other small businesses did the same thing in 2009. Odin Brewing seems nice and all but, it's not an encyclopedic topic. I would change my mind and support keeping this article if in-depth coverage existed in a reliable publication, or if at least we could establish that Odin Brewing is unique or special in some way that has had a noticable effect or influence. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:18, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article has 92 references, but the first several don't indicate real world notability and I did not find meaningful evidence in a Google search to contradict this. Considered CSD as unremarkable person, but couldn't rule out the possibility of notability so am bringing it to AfD instead. Subject would need to have been the non-trivial topic of discussion in multiple reliable independent published sources— blogs aren't going to do this, and neither are pages of statistics. If subject is notable, this needs to be demonstrated early on. Has received no awards, held no notable wrestling titles. Existence≠notability. KDS4444 (talk) 12:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep as of right now. He is fairly notable in Pittsburgh Indy Wrestling, and was trained by a professional wrestling hall of famer. Notable entertainer section, which Pro wrestlers fall under according to the sportsperson page, doesn't cover wrestlers at all... So there isn't really any reliable grounds to delete it. I started a talk section on the notable persons page in attempts to straighten that out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gvstaylor1 (talkcontribs) 14:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ENTERTAINER. No significant coverage in reliable independent sources. The sources in the article are unreliable, trivial mentions, or primary. All of the Pro Wrestling Illustrated references seem to be WP:ROUTINE match results, which do not establish notability. Lastly, notability is not inherited from the "hall of famer" that trained him.

The result was keep. On the one hand, I'm invoking the snowball clause, because it's abundantly clear that the overwhelming majority of editors favor keeping the article. On the other hand, Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and it seems this nomination is really just a platform to get attention for an issue on another Wikipedia site. Each site has its own rules, including its own deletion standards.

The German Wikipedia claims that this article is irrelevant, because we don't know if placing a bomb is clearly and accident and not a terrorist attack and to them, there is no victims involved. So I thought, if one Wikipedia deletes an article because of standards, another one should do it as well. If you disagree with the Germans, just leave them a message on their delete discussion. Just write „Ihr seid verrückt ... this is so relevant“. --Albin Schmitt (talk) 12:02, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

With only 21 minutes in a single fully professional league game according to his profile I'd want to see a bit of coverage somewhere. Note the Crown Prince Cup games were against lower league sides, I can't even find a reliable source with his DOB. Even the Arabic pages seem to only have vague stats and no in depth about him. As stated in WP:NSPORTS and WP:N, all standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline. NFOOTBALL is only to provide bright-line guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline. With more FPL time or international appearance I'd accept that likelihood, but this subject fails WP:GNG. ClubOranjeT 11:04, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

comment not according to this discussion which determined there was a strong consensus that the GNG is the controlling guideline, while the criteria at NSPORT are useful tools to try to quickly determine the likelihood of an article meeting the GNG. and concluded There is clear consensus that no subject-specific notability guideline, including Notability (sports) is a replacement for or supercedes the General Notability Guideline.

  • DeleteWeak keep - Although this article is about a footballer who highest achievement is 21 minutes a handful of matches of play in a fully-pro league (detailed by the Splstats profile in Arabic), and there is nothing online (as ClubOranje notes above) to suggest the article could ever be GNG-compliant, we generally assume that offline sources exist (particularly in a region with limited internet sources such as Saudi Arabia).and we have an established consensus to !Delete articles like this when a footballer so minimally crosses the threshold in NFOOTY. There is no good reason to believe the subject of this article is notable. Jogurney (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment None of the sports fans voting automatic keep above have taken general disclosure under WP:COI. Specifically WP:COI states:
Editors with a COI cannot know whether or how much it has influenced their editing..

WP:COI defines conflict of interest as "contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships". Where has any of that occurred in this AfD? Mattythewhite (talk) 00:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep:, Football fans monitor football AfDs , cycling fans monitor cycling AfDs, Politics followers monitor politics AfDs. It is the way it is, people largely comment on what they know about. That doesn't make it a COI. I have a football interest, but don't plan on declaring that at every AFD. ClubOranjeT 08:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I figured that. Perhaps, and end up with talking heads not having a scobie what they are talking about. I take the point. Sorry for mentioning it. It was crass. But, even though it has been pointed out that WP:GNG is a higher standard of notability than WP:NFOOTY, that the player has only played 21mins and been a sub 7 times in 11 matches over 7 years and I still can't determine if he played in the fully professional league and there is zero coverage of the player anywhere, outside the Soccerway profile, they still want a keep it. scope_creep (talk) 09:32, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - there seems to be some confusion as to what the sources in the article are saying, presumably as a result of them being written in Arabic. However, google transalte is able to present perfectly reasonable translations which show that he has played at least 15 matches in fully professional leagues, not the 21 mins noted by several editors above.

No demonstration of notability. Struggling to find enough independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Promotional article, created by a WP:SPA. Edwardx (talk) 09:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep on wikipedia; Sorry to say but this deletion nomination is flawed because I have nothing to do with the business, so I am not SPA, the article is not about a business or the person's business. It is basic biography of a person who has received internet news and media coverage in depth, whose book I read and decided to create the article. You can see that the article has 57 references. He is certainly notable. The article is not even a tad bit promotional, go read it. It only says who he is and why he is notable. The article describes facts only. --Tocsgmli (talk) 09:50, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — The number of references on the page is a weak argument, considering that many of the references are duplicated. For example, the "About" page of the subject's personal website appears six times in the references list. The actual number of unique references is 43, among which are multiple pages from the same domains (four articles from Deseret News, six from Forbes). dalahäst (let's talk!) 10:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, lets consider 43 but multiple times of news or forbes articles does not mean they are less references. Each coverage in forbes is actually more of reason to consider notable. Each of them are different. Next, all articles about them, including CNN are not just mentioning them, they are describing whole story. That depth of coverage in reliable sources means he is notable. I actually think that his wife may also be notable as an Emmy award winner but as whole, just talking about Richie Norton, he is quite notable with all coverage, this is not struggling coverage as edward says.

Possibly WP:TOOSOON, this is a self-created article for a comedian which has one reference to IMDB, one to his college football stats page, and two to articles about his brother.

Comment: All but one of those sources are about his college football career, so doesn't the question then become whether he passes WP:NCOLLATH? I'm not convinced he does (no national media attention). At this stage I'm not changing my vote therefore, but I would propose that if he is found to meet that notability guideline on that basis, the name of the article should be changed to Jared Campbell and the focus be on his football career, not his self-promotion as a comedian. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 22:11, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would say that would make him notable for his college career and passes WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:38, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - It appears that he doesn't quite pass gridiron football notability because there is no indication that he ever actually played a game in the National Football League. He may have been cut from the team without playing in a preseason game. However, that is close enough to stubify and tag the article rather than deleting it.

  • Comment - I assume the "single reliable source" was probably in reference to http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/05/14/e3-2006-age-of-elements - which is a reasonably detailed source. If I could find any others, I'd !vote keep. But so far, the only other thing I've found was that it was also nominated for IGN's Top Fighting Games of E3 2006, but did not win.

    I think the problem still stands, it's a perma-stub made up of entirely incidental descriptions of the game. It's like the video game equivalent of Bigfoot and without any preview articles specifically devoted to it, I don't see how it's notable even if you can amass enough descriptions of it.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the two speedy-deletions of previous instances here, there was a previous deletion of a redirect-only page on the vendor, and pages on the product and its vendor have previously been deleted on the German Wikipedia. As to the product's notability, searches return various routine announcements and there are the two referenced brief items summarising the configuration that the firm have recently been demonstrating.

  • Delete. Firstly, having a Q.C. is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to be sourced much better than this. Secondly, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so being a member of a prominent political family counts for nothing whatsoever. Thirdly, being an as yet non-winning candidate for the leadership of a political party does not pass WP:NPOL — to be notable as a politician a person has to hold office, not just run for it, and the only other way for an as yet unelected candidate to get an article is to have already passed another inclusion criterion for another reason (that is, Hillary Clinton does not have an article because she ran for president in 2016 and lost; she has an article because she held the roles of First Lady, Senator for New York and U.S. Secretary of State before running for president.) No prejudice against recreation in April 2018 if he wins the leadership, but nothing written or sourced here gets him an article as of September 2017. Bearcat (talk) 06:22, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I am pretty sure that Mrs. Clinton would have an article if she had only ever been notable for holding her party's nomination for US president. As an example that this is probably the fact we have an article on Evan McMullin, who was not even a candidate of any pre-existing party, but gained enough support in the election, and enough newsmedia coverage to justify an article on him. The article was created 8 August 2016, and I doubt that his position as a policy advisor to the US Congress House of Representatives Republican caucus would have been enough to justify an article the day before, but I don't really know.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:31, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we really need another Grand Slam list. We already have List of Grand Slam women's singles champions, List of Grand Slam men's singles champions, List of Grand Slam mixed doubles champions, List of Grand Slam men's doubles champions, List of Grand Slam women's doubles champions, Chronological list of women's Grand Slam tennis champions, Chronological list of men's Grand Slam tennis champions, List of Open Era Grand Slam men's singles finals, List of Open Era Grand Slam women's singles finals, List of Grand Slam singles champions in Open Era with age of first title, List of Grand Slam and WTA Tour Tier I/Premier singles tennis champions, and more that I'm not even listing. There is nothing new here plus the title is wrong since it is not a list of grand slam champions, it's a list of grand slam tournament champions since June of 1968.

The result was no consensus. Nobody's arguing that Imran Kahn isn't notable, or that we shouldn't cover his awards. The argument is just whether they should be covered in-line with the main article, or broken out into a list. The majority here feel in-line is better, but not enough that I feel comfortable declaring an actual consensus.

In any case, it seems reasonable to clean up the main article to eliminate duplication. Alternatively, if people want to continue to discuss a redirect/merge, that's not something that needs AfD involvement, so that can be continued on the article talk pages. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:54, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he seems to be playing regular supporting roles in Tamil films following his debut in Kayal. Away from films, he is also notable for his work as the General Manager of Kalaignar TV and enjoys wide coverage as a socialite in Chennai. Will try and add sources regularly as I find them.

  • Delete "regular support roles" is not the same as significant roles. The subject is not notable. I am thinking we need to tighten our guidelines on actor notability, and film notability as well. At one point it seems that Wikipedia was trying to be a carbon copy of IMDb.

This is a news item, and is not notable of inclusion of being on Wikipeida. Wikipeida appears to have a problem with recentism when it comes to articles involving incidents of this nature. There appears to be a jump to create articles, and to attribute labels to incidents, long before any of is has been established. The threshold for WP:Notability is not met here. There needs to be a halt to all these kinds of news articles, appearing as if they are somehow instantly notable. This is not notable, this is simply a news story.

There will be claims throughout the discussion of this incident, that this being part of the wider x or y or Z. This is not good enough to simply be claimed it must be shown by independent and reliable third party sources, demonstrating more than routine coverage. Simply shouting words does not make someone an extremist. Simply being a member of a religion and a criminal does not make someone a religious extremist. Simply attacking soldiers does not make an incident terrorism. Stating those things equal Radical Islamic Terrorism, is Original Research and is synthesis both of which are not allowed on Wikpedia. This article has a problem, it biggest problem is that it was created in the first place, as this is just routine coverage of a crime. Until further notability is established this has no place on Wikiepida. Sport and politics (talk) 09:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: It may be possible to argue that the location of this incident makes it just about notable, but that may be stretching things. At present we don't know enough about the circumstances of what happened, the motive, the backgrounds of those involved, and so on, to comment on the nature of this incident, and it would have been better to have waited before creating an article. I agree that people are too quick to label these incidents as terrorism because someone shouted something or some individual is arrested or prosecuted under some aspect of terrorism law, and it's a debate we're going to need to have at some point in the not too distant future. How does Wikipedia describe these incidents, and when is it appropriate to create such an article are two important factors in that discussion. I am happy to add my thoughts if anyone is willing to start that debate at the appropriate place. This is Paul (talk) 11:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could it go in the list Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present)? Obvious problem would be a lack of confirmation that it was an Islamist attack, although it seems likely. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:57, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails WP:LASTING as no long-term impact can be traced from sources in a WP:ROUTINE news cycle. I agree with Sport and politics: WP:RECENTISM is a major issue ignored by writers (many "experienced" longstanding wikipedians) even at the expense of almost every single guideline policing inclusion. This article, in addition to lasting, fails WP:EVENTCRIT which specifically mentions violent crimes are of interest to news media but not always Wikipedia. It needs historic or long-term importance, both of which are not established.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Slick, Although LASTING impact is great, it is NOT required, and, of course, it is impossible to establish in a recent event. More to the point here is WP:NOTNEWS: "As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events.".E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - and less that 12 hours after creation of this page, the BBC announces today the suspect «remains in custody under suspicion of terror offences.»[1]. Reuters says the same thing.[2]. Guys, the international coverage on this story is significant (covered not just by British media but US [WSJ, Washington Post, et al.], Australia, France, Spain, etc). It is absolutely WP:CRYSTALBALL to presume that what as of almost a week later continues to be considered a terror investigation will be dismissed as a routine event. Come back after the investigation exonerates the attacker, and I will be the first to propose the encyclopaedic entry needs be deleted, but for the time being, there is no justification.XavierItzm (talk) 18:40, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The argument of Wait and see is the wrong way round. This is merely routine news coverage, a follow up on a crime is just that a follow up. Follow-ups by news organisations of news stories do not elevate events to a notable status. Sport and politics (talk) 19:04, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Some users may think this is a crime. Yet the British government considers it terrorism. If terrorism in London is not notable, then what is? XavierItzm (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Re: If terrorism in London is not notable, then what is?, it depends on the terrorism, if the incident has no lasting impact or coverage, it isn't notable. Conversely, children stealing apples from their neighbour can become notable if for some reason there is lasting impact or extended coverage. There is no guideline saying that anything terrorist-related is automatically notable whereas stealing apples isn't. Incidentally he is provisionally charged with "preparing to commit an act … of terrorism". Pincrete (talk) 07:25, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - per WP:RAPID. Wide coverage is continuing today (the 30th) - [29] [30] [31] [32] [33]. Probably due to the sword(Jack Churchill anyone?). Current coverage is such that it should be kept - and if needed reassessed in a few months.Icewhiz (talk) 20:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Icewhiz do you have a policy-based reason to keep? WP:RAPID is simply a recommendation and more of a cop-out to avoid discussing the major issues with the article. Per WP:RSBREAKING and WP:ROUTINE -- actual policies -- the media coverage does not signify notability. If sourcing with significant analysis weeks from now emerges, we can create a more thorough article, not a rehashing of media reports. This "let's wait" strategy does the encyclopedia no good and ignores the call for notability now.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • You mean BREAKING, which RAPID is a sub part (post creation). RSBREAKING asserts we should use later sources when available. Regarding ROUTINE - sword attacks in the modern UK are not routine (perhaps they were in the 16th century). Items that are front page news in the world or on a national level are not routine (they still might not be notable). Notability is determined by coverage, not opinion. In this case we have coverage, yet we do not know yet if it will be LASTING because enough time from the event did not pass, hence RAPID.Icewhiz (talk) 04:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everyking I realize this is yet another lost cause by me in attempting to follow our policies, but could you at least take the time to write out a thoughtful vote? You simply rehashed "sources indicate notability" three times in rapid succession on AfDs. It instills zero confidence in me that you actually read other arguments, policies related to this type of incident, and the actual article itself. As an admin, shouldn't you be leading by example by upholding a high standard at all forums of Wikipedia? A refresher on our policies will show this falls under WP:NOTNEWS and fails WP:LASTING, WP:DIVERSE, and WP:EVENTCRIT so sources do not indicate notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • International coverage continuing today (31st) - Newsweek 9news.au Times of Israel Fox news USA Today - and much more (picked these at random from non-UK English sources). The sources are there. Frankly - this is exactly the sort of AfD where waiting makes sense - as ongoing high-profile coverage is continuing from the moment of the event clearling meeting WP:SIGCOV, the only concern is WP:LASTING due to age of event. 6 months from now? Maybe yes, maybe no - though the "sword angle" probably will at least preserve it as an oddity mention.Icewhiz (talk) 16:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is more general news coverage and not an establishment of notability. Waving news outlets and going look look international, when then internet is a thing, does not show the breadth of sources and independent verification required to establish independent notability. Three of the sources the Fox News, the 9news, and Times of Israel sources, simply re-published an AP/AFP news story.Sport and politics (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:EVENTCRITERIA this is an unremarkable news event: the most we can say is that a man was apparently stopped by police and put up a bit of a struggle whilst being arrested. The press interest is possibly because of the headline possibilities made available by the incident having took place near Buckingham Palace and the arrested man apparently having a sword in his car. But will the incident have enduring historical significance or a significant lasting effect? Unlikely, at best. -- de Facto (talk). 21:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In fact, "we can say" what a WP:RS do say, which is that perp "deliberately drove into police officers near Buckingham Palace" in a failed vehicle-ramming attack that was stopped by police, that he pulled a sword on the arresting officers, and that his actions are being investigated as terrorism.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fox is the only source claiming that he "drove into" anyone, least of all 'police officers' (pretty obviously they would have been seriously injured if he had). Most sources report that he 'drove at' a stationary police van, but stopped in front of it. No mention of police stopping him (bit hard to stop a large moving vehicle with your bare hands). Maybe there was an intention to ram the van but he 'bottled out', maybe we don't know so Fox invented a story it preferred. Fox also doesn't seem to notice that it is difficult to "pull a sword" when in the driving seat of a car. Most sources record "reached for a sword" which was under the passenger seat, at which point he was 'overcome' by the three police. We usually try to record what the balance of best sources say, not embellish the worst. Pincrete (talk) 16:03, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Per [34], he reached for what we now know to be a 4ft sword which was in the front passenger footwell. - So not under the seat, in front of the seat. It is actually to pull a 4-foot sword (which is on the short side) quite quickly - had he stepped out of the car - however it is pretty useless considering he (it seems) remained seated inside the car. Either way - the actual attempt to use a sword (as well as the ineptness in navigating/executing and Uber involvement) - will probably generate more coverage to the already quite substantial coverage.Icewhiz (talk) 07:31, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In which car can a rigid 4 foot long anything be in the passenger footwell without a goodly part of it being under the seat, (unless they mean 'propped up')? In which car can someone sitting in the driver seat 'brandish', 'swing' or 'draw' any 4 foot long rigid object? I'm glad you acknowledge this is silly-story territory, personally I secretly hope this is a 'keep', since it will advertise how absurd WP practice has become on terrorism articles.

  • Delete per everyone else. 100s of sources repeating exactly the same mildly funny story is no substitute for extended, in-depth coverage, even the police aren't sure whether this is terrorism. There will of course be some lasting impact, since the event is almost guaranteed to feature in end-of-year quizzes (about the Satnav Samurai or the Lost Samurai who got Castled on his way Uber to the Palace? ...

  • I'm glad you brought up those policies. WP:GEOSCOPE notes coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article; instead a significant impact on a large region is required. What was that region -- the suspect's car? To pass WP:INDEPTH, a subject needs analysis which has not been found in these WP:ROUTINE reports.

  • Comment I can't see a clear consesus to delete or keep. I still think this event is notable per WP:NEVENT. I don't agree with IP because we write here with encyclopedic point of view whereas on WikiNews we write as news story. Greenbörg (talk) 15:41, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This does read like a news story. Just remove the headers and you have a poor man's version of a CNN or New York Times piece. There were two keep voters who said "good sources" (very broad and mostly untrue if we care to follow anything from WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RSBREAKING, etc.); another common response was WP:RAPID but those voters ignored the remainder of EVENTCRIT -- the actual meat of the policy.

"notability with national and international coverage" = Many newspapers printed almost the same story on the first day(s) with no 'follow up' or depth = almost perfect definition of a news story, completely lacking significance or impact. Pincrete (talk) 17:54, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pincrete, your assertion is inaccurate. Independently reported articles ran in major publications on at least three continents. The independently reported WP:INDEPTH coverage in the Wall Street Journal that ran a week after the initial attack, and article that you tried very hard to delete as a source on non policy-based grounds, and the reporting by the Dhaka Tribune on perp's birthplace and bio are particularly good examples of the WP:SIGCOV. Moreover, there were at least two news cycles that generated worldwide coverage, the first spurred first by the attack itself, then by the black humor angle uber-driver-on-jihad-fails-to-google-up-directions-to-the-right-palace. You are entitled to you own opinion, but not to your own facts.(quoting Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan).E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:54, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The earliest ref used saying anything about this incident is 27th August, the newest is 8th September,Dhaka Tribune! I think that is legitimately "the first day(s) with no 'follow up' or depth", if you really want to stretch it to "the first -nearly- two weeks with no 'follow up' or depth", be my guest. If the coverage were 'in depth', why is the article so desperately thin? What might the lasting impact be I wonder, perhaps it will get harder to buy Samurai swords in Luton, maybe the pub will get increased trade, end of year quizzes are a near certainty. Are they your idea of 'in-depth coverage'? Pincrete (talk) 07:35, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The police officers were slightly injured whilst making the arrest."
This is an incident insufficiently notable for the encyclopedia; does not meet WP:10YT. I'm not buying the argument that because it took place in London, we must include it. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:42, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To this point: it can't be merged. On the List of terrorist incidents in London, two editors persistently delete[1][2][3][4][5] the Buckingham Palace attack entry because «only suspected to be terrorism related, needs a court verdict to confirm it was». Observe the 3RR rule is not even followed. So if the resolution is merge, then editors are on standby to simply memory-hole the whole entry, sources and all.XavierItzm (talk) 09:49, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Nothing seems to have made this any more notable since I last posted in this discussion, so it's still a delete for me. Perhaps we can merge with List of terrorist incidents in London. Or what about something like List of Buckingham Palace security breaches (along the lines of the the one we have for the White House)? I can think of at least three other incidents in recent years that could be mentioned in such an article, and I guess this is probably worth a brief mention somewhere. This is Paul (talk) 22:28, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Case remains in the news media as of mid-September: with the latest terror attack at Parsons Green, the media lists the Buckingham Palace sword attack among the recent «stream of terror attacks» in the UK.[6] I think the point of an encyclopaedia is that you are reading something, say, a newspaper, and perhaps you don't know what they are talking about, and you go to Wikipedia, and boom, guess what? There is an article about that "Buckingham Palace" terror incident! Now you know. XavierItzm (talk) 09:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing editor that as XavierItzam points out, proposals to merge terrorism-related incidents are often merely stealth deletions. When an editor closes a terrorist attack with the suggestion as keep with the suggestion the decision whether to merge or keep can be discussed at the article's talk page, deletionist editors will attempt to delete by will open a merge discussion, which is likely to draw fewer editors than and AfD (a recent example is 2017 Notre Dame attack). However, when an article on a terrorism attack is closed as merge, deletionist editors at the lists to which incidents are merged either argue that only bluelinked incident should be kept, or that a particular incident is not adequately verified as terrorism (as here) or that too few people were killed, and delete it. That is why the decision should be based on WP:NCRIME and WP:GNG, and by the same standards by which we judge recent breaking news stories such as the 2017 University of Utah Hospital incident.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:47, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A notvote is not an official policy, but WP:point is. WP:point states that you should not disrupt WP to make a point. I think you are disrupting WP to make a point, and therefore I think that all of your contributions to articles related to terrorism should be held under strict scrutiny, and when necessary wholly dismissed as disruptive and unproductive. Your motive is clearly established by the excessive amounts of circumstantial evidence available showing that you do in fact go around WP attempting to remove terrorism related content to make a point, effectively accepting that you cannot get the content you don't like removed through one means, and trying to get it removed via another. I'll note you have been entirely ineffective in your XFD attempts, that being because you are only editing to make a WP:point or otherwise you just don't like WP covering terrorism, for whatever personal reasons. But, yeah. And you don't need to accuse anyone of notvotes because the closing party will surely be able to analyze the content themselves. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 03:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sport, You nominated, what, about 20 was it? Islamist terrorist attacks for deletion in one fall swoop a couple of weeks ago. Did all of the others close as keep? I seem to recall that they did. And your justification for the nomination of this one was a WP:POINTY rant:

"This is a news item, and is not notable of inclusion of being on Wikipeida. Wikipeida appears to have a problem with recentism when it comes to articles involving incidents of this nature.' There appears to be a jump to create articles, and to attribute labels to incidents, long before any of is has been established. The threshold for WP:Notability is not met here. There needs to be a halt to all these kinds of news articles, appearing as if they are somehow instantly notable. This is not notable, this is simply a news story. There will be claims throughout the discussion of this incident, that this being part of the wider x or y or Z. This is not good enough to simply be claimed it must be shown by independent and reliable third party sources, demonstrating more than routine coverage. Simply shouting words does not make someone an extremist. Simply being a member of a religion and a criminal does not make someone a religious extremist. Simply attacking soldiers does not make an incident terrorism. Stating those things equal Radical Islamic Terrorism, is Original Research and is synthesis both of which are not allowed on Wikpedia. This article has a problem, it biggest problem is that it was created in the first place, as this is just routine coverage of a crime."

I note in particular that your asssertions are false. In particular, the editors who regularly work on articles about terrorist attacks, editors who have iVoted both ways above, are extremely careful not accuse perps of terrorism until and unless they have written manifestos, recorded pledges ot ISIS, been described as ISIS by security authorities, and so forth. It is true that new and occassional editors add such material, but it is rapidly removed. Moreover, this article, and the others that have been kept, have been reliably sourced. And your assertion that ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia made no valid argument is similarly false, WP:POINTY is an excellent argument.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:43, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on failing to focus on the nomination, it is clearly not point, the numerous and in depth deletion arguments forwarded show POINT is an ad homenim.

It would be prudent to stick to the subject on hand, and it also would be nice if we avoided claiming Keep voters are coming from the gutter, which seems a bit personal (I do think I took a shower in the past year).

Add this to a long history of claiming false persecution when people disagree with you, and refusing to communicate or cooperate in discussion and instead "rage quitting". I have really taken steps to avoid controversial subjects on WP (focusing on vandalism and NPR), but your behavior is so consistently inconsistent with what WP is all about. Somehow you have avoided bans or at least a topic ban for terrorism despite consistently being reported, but you are clearly not here to build a wiki, in my informed opinion. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 16:10, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Saying the mayor of Venice said snipers will shoot those who shout "Allahu Akbar" with-in 4 paces ([36]) the day before would be OR (well - not quite - it has been mentioned in joint coverage of the two). However - this specific event generated international coverage which continues - coverage runs through the event until yesterday (the 29th - when the Belgian General commanding the ground forces said this attack will influence tactics). Decisions regarding notability should be based on coverage, particularly in a WP:RAPID event - and not on what editors think should or should not be notable.Icewhiz (talk) 10:17, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, we're neglecting NOTNEWS at their own peril, and so editors are welcome to write up every little thing that suits their fancy, inviting completely undue coverage of the world.

  • Keep Terrorist attack claimed by ISIS via the ISIS-mouthpiece Amaq News Agency regarded by security experts as accurate in identifying which attacks are carried out by its own devotees. Belgian authorities calling it terrorism. More to the point for our purposes, coverage has been worldwide, possibly because there is nothing "routine" about a dedicated follower of the Islamic State ideology of violent jihad, carrying a Quran and shouting Allahu Akbr attacking soldiers patrolling the Grand Place, the heart of Brussels. NOTNEWS is a Red herring.

  • Merge to List of terrorist incidents in August 2017, Incident is too small for an article. There were two soldiers that suffered (light) injuries in a stabbing attack. I would understand the significance for an article if it was a bomb attack with two injuries. Bombings are less common in Europe and need more planning and preparation. But since this was a low-casualty stabbing attack with only two victims I suggest this article to be merged.JBergsma1 (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as clearly passes WP:NEVENTS with widespread coverage for this event. Greenbörg (talk) 10:56, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as it lives up to the WP:GNG general notability guideline. Since this attack was claimed by ISIS, it is thus an event of international scope. It has enough coverage in sources to merit a standalone article. Brief mentions could be added to relevant list articles. AadaamS (talk) 18:24, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The nominator complains about Radical Islamic Terrorism. This is nowhere in the article itself.
    The nominator complains about extremism. This is nowhere in the article itself.
    The nominator complains about WP:OR. If there were an issue with WP:OR, AfD would not be the correct venue to manage it.
    In sum, there appears to something quite strange about the nomination itself.

Which says don't rush to create AND don't rush to delete (besides stipulating the currentevent tag). This article has on-going high-profile coverage (as of the nom - which I added after I saw the nom). There's no harm in it lingering here - this is a clear case of WP:WAIT - in 3-6 months it'll be much easier to assert significance or non-significance. When a current event is clearly non-significant it is easy to delete - otherwise, letting it wait a while makes supporting a D much easier (as instead of arguing whether coverage will continue - you simply see a lack of coverage).Icewhiz (talk) 11:13, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is clearly a failure here as the article is not meeting notability, it is all speculatio. I suggest that the 'high-profile' coverage is made clear, as that is highly subjective as a claim. Sport and politics (talk) 11:20, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The attack itself (day of, next day, day2) - was an international news item (covered by a huge number of world-class sources, as well as filtering down to local news outside of Belgium). General Thuys statments were picked up by Reuters and Euronews yesterday.[7][8] So we have coverage by world-class sources from the 25th to the 29th. The 30th is still young at this point. So we're left at crystall-balling at the level of coverage going forward, as at present - we have coverage (including a change in Belgium's military tactics, which would be another claim of a significance beyond coverage).Icewhiz (talk) 11:27, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Come on. Saying NOTNEWS is a red herring is the real red herring, and larding this with detail is salacious. The very detail you cite is in fact completely routine. We all know you have a fondness for writing up such events and tend to look at only one side of a conflict. I just noticed Louvre machete attack, where you cleverly present events that happened before the attack in an "Aftermath" section, allowing you to argue (again) that the event was notable because...well, because of SYNTH. And that event wasn't much different from this one, so I don't see how you can claim "not routine"--but hey, to each his own. Drmies (talk) 18:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that: "As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events."

This event is neither of those events, which are in and of themselves notable events. This is a routine news reporting of an event which occurred. This does not come close in anyway to the two articles cited, which have significant and historic impact and are inherently notable. This is none of those things. Sport and politics (talk) 19:10, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Only two of the four articles state on the top of their talk pages they have been nominated for deletion with the result being keep. The other two do not indicate ever having been nominated for deletion, please show if they other two have been nominated for deletion. I suggest there is a stopping of grasping at straws, and a realisation that notability for individual articles must be established. Not everything in the media is worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia.

Once again, it is an abuse of the AfD process to try to use it to amend perceived notions of weakness in the article. Under your rationale that one of the grounds for deletion is «no mention of what happened to him», then please follow WP:BEFORE. BTW, the article clearly records the death of the attacker, and in fact the very first WP:RS cited in the article (i.e., citation 1) is: "Belgian soldiers shoot dead knife attacker in Brussels."[9]. XavierItzm (talk) 14:14, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My delete rationale is clearly stated, that there is no significance, consequence or in-depth coverage of this event, none is even claimed beyond "15 minutes of fame" and the implication that any terrorist event is inherently worthy of its own article. A para in a list article would adequately cover everything which is not blatant WP:OR here. Do you understand 'ps'? Since the 'ps' is clearly not part of my delete rationale, how can its content be an abuse of anything?
One should not need to look inside a ref to learn a basic fact of an event such as a death, but those who are so quick to impugn the motives of others here who question the value of this article, betray their own PoV by failing to mention the death - while simultaneously ensuring that "ethnic and theological connections" are stated repeatedly. ..... pps Why would anyone shoot a dead knife attacker?

This article's last 2 deletion attempts ended in no consensus, with most of the Keep arguments arguing that the article can be "saved" using sources. However, nobody has stepped up to the plate in the last 7 years and the article is just as unreferenced as it was before. It's obvious now that it is WP:LISTCRUFT and is better served as a self maintaining category, e.g. Category:Fictional vehicles. As it is now, membership on the list is totally arbitrary and completely random, stating such things as any time a vehicle appears in a movie.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:35, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep this appears to be a valid list article. Membership should be completely clear: every Wikipedia page on a fictional vehicle is included on the page. Things like "A hovercraft - used by the girls in Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem" should be removed. Power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Power~enwiki:Comment Just because it only has links to other articles doesn't make it "valid". Per WP:LISTCRUFT - "The list has no content beyond links to other articles, so would be better implemented as a (self-maintaining) category."ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:04, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This is a standard WP:LISTOFLISTS article, which are accepted throughout Wikipedia, as well as being useful reference articles to keep information handy and in one place. Any cleanup required can be done by editing; AfD is not cleanup. WP:LIST articles always exist in addition to and along with Categories; one never precludes the other and both are encouraged. Softlavender (talk) 03:01, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Softlavender:Comment Is this essentially not a keep argument, but an argument to move the article to Lists of fictional vehicles? Because as it stands, it's not a list of lists, it's a list of items. That does bring up a point that this article is probably over-extensive, per WP:OLIST, and may be better off just holding other lists of fictional vehicles. I wouldn't be opposed to making it solely a list of lists.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:09, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • My !vote is a Keep !vote. This is an AfD, not a debate about the article title. If you want to propose a change of title, the venue/procedure for that is WP:RM. -- Softlavender (talk) 03:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Softlavender:I wasn't aware that you could only vote keep and not additionally add an argument to change the title and scope of the article. I've seen it done plenty of times in other AFDs before, as a condition of the keep.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:26, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

            • The problem being that if I proposed a title change, that failed, and the article remained, I'd have to open a new AfD all over again as it's Listcruft in its current state.

Per WP:HARMLESS, not deleting articles of questionable value, set a precedent for pretty much anything to be created, as people will get the idea that it will be kept by editors who just "like it". Ultimately I don't think this article is necessary - there are several more granular lists about various types of vehicles, but not enough to make a list of lists. It's overly broad and will likely overlap greatly with the other lists.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:21, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The list needs a little re-organisation so as to separate classes of vehicle (e.g. Hoverboards) from specific vehicles (e.g. Hogwarts Express), but that's trivial and not a reason for deletion. The notability criteria just need to be explicitly stated - a blue link to an article specifically discussing that (class of) vehicle. AfD is not cleanup.

I'm unaware that there is a clause in WP:GNG which says that anyone with lots of social media subscribers is notable enough for Wikipedia. Almost all the citations in this article relate to the briefest of namechecks in tech articles about a GTA 5 update. His leak of a license/serial key was again only briefly mentioned in a single sentence. The substantive 'coverage' is self published on YouTube or Twitter. Fails WP:GNG.

  • Keep the bit about the license key MTV wrote an entire article about ([37]) and Kotaku did provide coverage of it, listing him as a notable example ([38]). (In the MTV article) While he is only mentioned by name once, but it is clear that the rest of the article is talking about him. Also, International Business Times has showcased his content multiple times, discussing his videos and other news regarding GTA 5 updates (in google I was able to find dozens of examples, like [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] - and those were only the first two pages of results). Additionally, how is the majority of the coverage self-published? Only 4 of the 28 sources are from YouTube ([47][48][49][50])(two of which is for stats on YouTube - even PewDiePie has those - i.e. [51]) and 1 from Twitter ([52]) which was a screenshot of a stats screen) for a date. If you would like the bit about his channel growth removed or have the one YouTube citation there (or Twitter/YouTube one in info box) replaced with {{fact}}/{{citation needed}} templates, I would happily do that. As for the "briefest of namecheck" bit, the only references matching the "namecheck" bit slightly were The Guardian (but would consider it listing him as a notable example), Morning News USA (but they reference an article mentioning him in more detail - sort of as a summary I guess?), and Blasting News (this one discusses his content for 3-4 paragraphs - or roughly 30% of the article). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You almost seem to be agreeing with me, but coming to the opposite conclusion. I'd go as far to say, as well as not meeting WP:GNG, this is a WP:ONEEVENT instance. Sionk (talk) 14:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In most of the sources provided, they seem to be less about him, and more about Grand Theft Auto 5, or his own first party sources. I'm not sure which of these is supposed to prove it meets the GNG... Sergecross73 msg me 00:09, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this is not as strong of an article as we usually examine, but for the subject, I know there are often some leniencies on what can be considered enough. I wouldn't object to a Userification. SwisterTwister talk 03:22, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister - I don't mean to badger you, but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. It's so vague you could literally say that about any article in existence. That sounded more like you were answering a question about how AFD works in general. That doesn't explain your stance on this particular subject at all. Sergecross73 msg me 16:00, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the refspamming above does not prove notability. The MTV article is extremely short (5-6 sentences) and is mostly about the foolish act of publicly showing an activation code and getting it stolen in the process. Not exactly a detailed bio here. Most of the rest of the sources listed are not significant coverage about him - they're articles about Grand Theft Auto 5 that essentially use him as a source. For example, many of the sources spammed above are like this one. This source does not provide significant coverage about "MrBossFTW". If you read it, you see its says almost nothing about him. It's all about tips about playing GTA5, some of which are from him. This is not how we prove notability on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 15:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment to closer In the event that it is deemed the consensus to be that this article is not worthy of inclusion at this time, I request that a deletion alternative (userfying or moving back to draft namespace) be taken into consideration so that in the event that more coverage is discovered or written, the draft could have this information added to it and be resubmitted to AfC. In the event that that is the chosen course of action, I would not move it to the article namespace myself and would take the AfC route. I will continue to monitor for information at this time and will continue to do so for the remainder of the time that I am an editor on this site (the foreseeable future). In the event that nothing comes up by the end of that time, I would simply request deletion. Of course, if that is not ruled the consensus (that this article is not worthy of inclusion at this time) by the end of this discussion, please disregard this comment. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 23:08, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: To answer the question I think you were making in your nomination, Sionk, a large number of subscribers on its own is no grounds for establishing notability. I have written an essay on the subject at Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Notability and am seeking an edit to WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES to say "Though YouTube subscriber counts do not contribute to a subject's notability, most YouTubers with fewer than 1,000,000 subscribers and no other other claim to notability have not received sufficient coverage to be kept at AfD."

  • Delete. The references are all of mentions of him, or feature him. None were about him. Fails WP:GNG.

The person in question is a research director at Kasturba Health society. A search on him reveals two biographical profiles ([53],[54]).

  • Keep The person is notable in my opinion as he has coined the terms like 'Reverse Pharmacology'. I tried to make edits on the article of Reverse Pharmacology also but they are saying that it has a different meaning so it is disputable. He is the only person I know who has done this amount of substantial contribution in the research of Ayurveda. It is true that he is a research director at Kasturba Health Society, Mumbai. I am delighted to know that a search on him reveals two biographical profiles. As I was aware of only one profile. This profile I know. Thanks a lot for sharing this very important profile. This second profile is new to me and I am happy that you have shared a profile / link which was not known to me. Is this profile present in the main article itself? If no, may I request you to kindly give the link of this reference in the article?

  • Comment If one will see the concept of 'Reverse Pharmacology', which is such a revolutionary concept in the filed of herbal medicine, we will understand importance of this person. Reverse pharmacology means finding the active ingredients from the drugs which are already in use without testing. Meaning these are the drugs for which animal testing / preclinical studies are not done and they are already in use. Can we understand its meaning? It means that these drugs are dangerous as they can damage any organ of anyone anytime and it can also create any unknown adverse reactions. But no one ready to leave those drugs including governments. What is better way to solve this problem in your opinion? Dr. Vaidya came with this concept of reverse pharmacology which is the best solution in this scenario. I would like some person who knows pharmacology decide about this.

  • Comment Typically we expect to see an existing biography cited. Wikipedia should not publish anyone's first biography; instead Wikipedia should be summarizing the biography or profiles written by others. Right now, I do not see any biography or profile in the citations.
There are some exceptions, like for example sometimes publications report that a person has received awards but do not publish their biography or if the person is highly cited. At WP:PROF there is some discussion of what this means. There is not a particular line or text, but instead, someone who wants to argue that a person is highly cited should show some of their papers, give information about how they are cited, and say how that amount of citations compare with other researchers in that field.

  • Delete (or Merge if there is anything not already in the endosymbiosis article) - it is a question that is discussed from time to time in the scientific literature, but that doesn't mean the best way to deal with it in Wikipedia is to have a separate article. There should be a section in the endosymbiosis article that covers 1) presumed transfer of various functional metabolic genes now found in nucleus, 2) presence of pseudogene copies of part of mt or cpDNA in nucleus, and 3) that there seems some limit to complete transfer, as there are no known cases of organelle-containing organisms without an organellar genome. It is too arcane a topic to merit a stand-alone article. It is part and parcel of the endosymbiotic process, and the only thing noteworthy about it, why it doesn't go to completion, has no answer. Once answered it will likely only become less worthy of a stand-alone article. Agricolae (talk) 02:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I fully agree. It warrants a small section/mention in the endosymbiosis article. Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 07:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, if possible, merge. The information contents like Numt and CoRR hypothesis should be included in the "parent-article" (Endosymbiont?). As well, the title is big, perhaps only because the user did not knew/ forgot there is a term for it, "promiscuous DNA". I could not find yet any article or paragraph with this exact term. So I think this article for deletion certainly have some content to contribute. We should take the information content and the list of theories into existing Wikipedia articles. We should also explain the page owner that why a high number of page is troublesome for readers, and should help the owner to learn the process of merging.

"owner"? What the hell are you talking about? And there is nothing sourced here to move anywhere. You make it clear on your userpage that you want to keep stuff, but there is no policy-compliant policy here to keep. Nada. You are obligated to follow policy and guidelines when you edit Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 19:40, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that the article may have future potential for expansion; however, it currently contains almost no unique information that couldn't be added to Endosymbiont or Symbiogenesis. Also, there is no article owner as per WP:OWN. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 18:26, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

non-notable academic. Does not meet WP:PROF-- all of her papers have fewer than 15 papers referring to them [56]--I have learned that absence of link to a list of them in the article often means that they are not significant. Writing book chapters and translating textbooks is not the sort of scientific activity that shows one an expert in one's field.

There does not sem to be anything else. She does the normal sort of service and teaching, she's on the editorial board of 2 journals, there are no major outside activities that would lead to notability .

Nor does she meet the GNG there references are either within her own university, of just show her members of various groups. I have no idea why an experienced editor moved this from draft space. DGG ( talk ) 00:37, 15 September 2017 (UTC) DGG ( talk ) 23:02, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
