- Keep Although it seems her career was rather short, there is evidence that she appeared in some high-profile films. I believe there is some confusion about her real name, which may go some way towards explaining the lack of sources. Deb (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Kajjan is substantially notable in context to Hindi Cinema history.[1]
The issue about her birth/death date is mentioned in ref provided above by FloridaArmy along with referential book here. Would suggest page move to Jehanara Kajjan (or Jahanara Kajjan as referenced to in pages 157, 158, 162 and figure 7.8 in the book "The Modern Girl Around the World: Consumption, Modernity, and Globalization")[2] and ref already mentioned by FloridaArmy. Kajjan is rarely referred to as Kajjanbai now. Thanks to Deb there are refs now in the article. Kaayay (talk) 08:03, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

No substantial coverage in third-party sources to satisfy WP:ORG. Article was created and substantially edited by WP:COI editors. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:14, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Alberta-related deletion discussions. MT TrainTalk 10:22, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete All references within article are based on the Awards' own website. The awards also don't seem to be specifically significant enough - no reliable 3rd party references showing up in a couple of minutes of searching online. Nosebagbear (talk) 11:32, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Calls for nomination and the granting of awards occasionally warrant brief mentions in local media. And, of course, the various recipients are quick to tout their recognition. But I've actually been surprised at how little coverage or direct discussion of the awards themselves--or the Alberta Emerald Foundation that awards them--seems to exist in reliable sources. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:45, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Every award that exists is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because its existence is technically verifiable in its own self-published content about itself — it has to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage in media to clear WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH. But the sources here are of the former type, not the latter, so they're just not cutting it at all. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- a Proquest news archive search makes it apparent that "Emerald Award is a name used for prizes given by several cities, including Clarksville, Tennessee (for civic participation) and Eugene Oregon (for enviromentalism.) This one gets SIGCOV in the Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald and in what appears to be every other newspaper in Alberta. Tehre have even been controversies (well, curmudgeonly environmental activists) Emerald Award finalist pulls name from awards. A solid article could be written, using reliable, secondary sources. given that Nom in incorrect in incorrect in their assertions there are "No substantial coverage in third-party sources" and that all 3 editors weighing in above are making assertions that no secondary sources or, in one case, that all of the secondary sources are "brief mentions in local media" I recommend that the closing editor roll this one over for a week. E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:43, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete- there is not enough coverage to establish notability. An article in the local section of the local newspaper is not enough and the fact that there are other awards with the same name elsewhere is completely irrelevant.--Rusf10 (talk) 12:23, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Somali "town". The one source describes it as a "hypsographic point", which implies nobody lives there. The coordinates given are in the sea and I can't see any trace of settlement on the adjacent coastline. Can't find other sources to satisfy WP:NGEO. Hut 8.5 21:15, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delete Non existent town, fails GNG L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 12:21, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Weak delete, at least in this form. First and foremost, this is not--and has never been--a populated place. So whatever else is true, the article text declaring this a town is very much in error. As for the place itself... The first challenge is that the orthography of Somali place names is, to say the least, not standardized. Gabaa is Ras Gaba is a half-dozen other spelling variants. In 1987, the Defense Mapping Agency published the Gazetteer of Somalia: Names Approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names, which, as far as I can tell, still constitutes the best efforts to standardize English-language orthography of Somali place names. According to the DMA, Gabaa and friends are all junior synonyms for Raas Gabbac. In Somalia, Raas (or Ras) anything is the equivalent of a cape in English; the best known by far is Ras Hafun (which the DMA suggests we should really be calling Raas Xaafuun, but I digress...). Raas Gabbac is a far less distinguished promontory. However, it's substantial enough to have been included as one of a relatively small number of Somali geographic landmarks on the 2011 UN Cartographic Section, Map 3690, Revision 8 (which you can see in a nice full-color version on page 16 of this pdf. Which at least explains what it is (the low-resolution coordinates which put the marker in the ocean are the fault of excessive rounding by either the DMA or the Board on Geographic Names itself). But doesn't really speak to notability under WP:NGEO. The controlling guideline is that "[n]amed natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist." So, the question is... do they? Local sources likely do exist, from places such as Ely (the nearest populated place) or elsewhere in Puntland. But they are almost certainly in Somali or Arabic and are even more certainly not easily accessible online. I suspect that under at least some definitions, Raas Gabbac may mark the northern edge of the Nugaal Valley, but I haven't had much luck finding sources willing to define the valley region explicitly (much less name the cape at its northeasternmost limit). Regardless, if you're read this far: not a town, not ideally under this name, and... would require an assumption of "unknown sources exist" to meet notability guidelines at this time.

One big BLP violation sandwich, served up on a plate of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. This doesn't belong on WP but on somebody's personal blog page. (OK it should really be a database somewhere, actually) Enormous labor of WP:OR with all kinds of unsourced statements about the relationships among people, some living some not. Jytdog (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: the sourcing isn't as bad as it may appear. Almost all of academics listed have a Mathematics Genealogy Project page that includes the given information; would be pretty easy to link to the relevant page. BenKuykendall (talk) 21:39, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. MT TrainTalk 10:27, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep -- First of all, WP:NOTDIRECTORY is completely unrelated to anything to do with this discussion. The page in question is obviously not a directory. Second, this is not any kind of BLP violation. Give a specific reason, nom, if you disagree. Finally, this topic is obviously notable. Computer scientists were mathematicians until about 75 years ago, so mathematics genealogies provide both sourcing and GNG satisfaction. See [4] and the mathematics genealogy project for two examples out of very, very many. Not only that, but genealogies specific to computer science are also pretty common, see e.g. [5], [6], and so on. This isn't OR by any means. This is a well-studied, easily sourceable subject whose article could use some references. Absolutely not a candidate for deletion. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:50, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as a steaming pile of WP:OR. Show us a source discussing relationships based on thesis advising. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment as I said above, it's all on Mathematics Genealogy Project. For example: to verify that Roger Needham advised Ross J. Anderson, we have https://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=42570. Adding such references would not be very hard, but it might be kind of ugly; I am not sure how to add every single reference without making the article unreadable. Regardless, this is just an issue of adding citations: the information is not unverifiable. BenKuykendall (talk) 00:58, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Verifiability is not the issue. Also delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The project article states that it covers 222,193 scientists. Even if we assume only a tiny fraction of these relationships are significant (and who decides that?), that's still a large number >> NWiki-manageable. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Can you please say explicitly what part of INDISCRIMINATE you think is violated here? Certainly it can't be that there are 222,193 entries. The sheer number of entries can't possibly make the article an indiscriminate collection of information. The criteria for being a computer scientist are perfectly clear, so it seems to me that there's absolutely nothing indiscriminate about this. You ask who decides which of the relationships are significant? Obviously the RS decide that, like with every single other topic on WP. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 12:35, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Sure, there are >= 222,193 article in the MathGenealogy. However, most of those are not computer scientists. Further, Academic genealogy of computer scientists should only contain computer scientists notable enough to have their own articles. This gives a much smaller number of possible entries. BenKuykendall (talk) 14:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

- You're missing the main point. Where are your RS about the significance, not the mere fact of their existence, of these relationships? This doesn't rise to the prominence of the Erdős number, or even the Erdős–Bacon number. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:58, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Now you're moving the goalposts. Typically on WP we look for RS about the subject and use the existence of such sources to argue that the subject is notable and therefore article-worthy. However, now you want RS that actually discuss the significance? That's like metasignificance. A number of people have supplied RS that discuss the genealogy of computer scientists. While it would be nice to have them, we do not also need RS that discuss the significance of that genealogy. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:30, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOR. No clear notability of relationships between listed BLPs. Over half of the listed entries do not have articles and are not needed notable inherently. Ajf773 (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. There seem to be sufficient sources, and sufficient importance . The information in Mathematics Geology Poject is usffieent for verification. It's not indiscriminate, as all the people are sufficiently important to be included there. DGG ( talk ) 04:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- What exactly does a mathematical geologist do? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:21, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete (with of course a "refund" possible to someone who wants to migrate it off of en.wp to some other web host). Clearly this has taken lots of work. And clearly, it is Useful Knowledge for someone sometimes. But wikipedia is not an indiscriminate source of information. The discussion of sourcing above has shown that the article will unavoidably struggle between the Scylla and Charybdis of original research on one hand, and merely selection from a subset of the Mathematics Geneology project on the other. Bottom line is this is information that should well be maintained somewhere, but there is no reason it should be in Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. 21:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinp (talk • contribs) 21:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

It's a local interview: [7], and even that is a blog. The claim that the band has "signed contracts with MTV" appears to be a basic agreement to show videos. I will be charitable and cite WP:TOOSOON.

- Keep looking at the page view statistics it gets about 200 hits a day, so some people must be interested. It a number a lot of people will have stuck in their heads as its the key number used to tell if a test passes at 5%, generally the level used in much of medicine where there you have limited trials.--Salix alba (talk): 09:01, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - I think this article should/could be kept for now. I don't think this article needs to exist, not because it isn't significant (it is), but because this title isn't a very good one. At the last AfD, the title, 95 percent confidence interval in statistics, was suggested. Other titles such as "two standard deviations", "two standard deviations" (less accurate but still commonly used), etc. are also possible. Normal distribution, Z score, and Confidence interval are, I think, not quite as good of a location for this material. 68–95–99.7 rule is possible, and I would support a merge there, I think. I am not sure, though, and would like to read what others think. Smmurphy(Talk) 14:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I would support a merge in principle but there is so little actual content in this article that I don't know what to merge. A line in Confidence interval saying "the most common confidence interval is 95%" would seem to sum up the entire content of what's here. CapitalSasha ~ talk 21:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I think 68–95–99.7 rule is the best destination, and the history section would be all that is merged. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:02, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Keep I think it's a good pithy title, for an important constant. To a mathematician, it's not as significant as pi, or e, but to users and writers of thousands of articles on applied statistics, it's significant. There's an article on pi of course, so 1.96 is legitimate. I suspect many of the 200 hits per day may be from people who don't know any other term to search for it under. A redirect under any of the other titles suggested would frustrate wikipedia readers, since it would be way down the page. I think the 68-95-99.7 rule is more obscure than 1.96. Now 95% is a redirect to Normal distribution, and it's a long way down the page before 95% is discussed.Numbersinstitute (talk) 22:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- The article on e is called e (mathematical constant), so maybe this would be clearer as 1.96 (statistical constant). Numbersinstitute (talk) 12:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- That's because e is something else. Parenthetical disambiguation is pointless if there is nothing to disambiguate from. --JBL (talk) 01:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep but rename: it's hard to think what title is most appropriate here but I think it's important to note that the article's subject is not 1.96 or even 1.95996398454005423552, but z.025. Perhaps 1.96 (approximation) or z-value of 0.975 would work. I would be happy with 95 percent confidence interval in statistics but not 1.96 (statistical constant) (the constant in discussion is not 1.96). But in any case, I think the subject itself is notable. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 14:53, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Merge elsewhere and delete/redirect. Given all the other related pages, I don't think a page on the approximation 1.96 makes a notable contribution beyond them. The value 1.96 only applies to the Normal distribution, but 95% CIs are calculated on many other statistical distributions; so I don't think titles like 95 percent confidence interval in statistics would be suitable. The software section can be deleted per WP:NOTHOWTO. Tayste (edits) 00:00, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - She has a fair amount of media coverage, but just about all of it is in relation to Britney Spears. Even her own music was reviewed in comparison to Spears and she has achieved very little as a musician. Almost all of the sources used to support this article are actually about Spears and mention Sims very briefly; even a fairly in-depth People article has "Britney's Cousin" in the title rather than her actual name. In short, notability is not inherited. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

- Comment - In 1998, this parish saw its 50th anniversary and the Reno Gazette-Journal included in its September 26 Sunday edition a 12 page special insert about the church.[8] The insert is called a "special advertising publication" and features numerous ads congratulating the church as well as articles which were written by Dorothy Kosich, a journalist who normally wrote for the Reno Appeal. While the insert is labeled an advertisement, the articles therein are, in my opinion, reliable sources. Most of the current building was completed in 1978 and by 1998 had 3,500 families.[9] With this information, I found more articles, including: an announcement of the church's founding in 1947,[10] an article on planned construction from 1976,[11] some brief mentions of construction in 1978,[12][13] and a bit of detail in obituaries of church priests. I generally favor inclusion for older churches (especially pre-depression-era churches) whose buildings and congregations have made a mark on a city. As this church doesn't meet my arbitrary cut-off and the current state of the article is not encyclopedic, I don't feel it necessary to !vote keep. That said, I think a borderline case could be made, and am providing these links in case anyone wishes to make use of them (check out WP:TWL if you do not have access to newspapers.com).

- Keep -- A ridiculous nomination as nom has stated no valid reason for deletion. First of all, because topic X is part of topic Y does not mean that topic X does not get its own article. Second, that there's no cited material in the article is not a reason for deletion per WP:ARTN. That being said, the subject of health intervention massively, overwhelmingly, satisfies the GNG. Just e.g. look at [[14]], [15], [16], and on and on and on and on. As for Waddie96's argument that this should be deleted because it's a stub, well, WP:SOFIXIT. Being a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:40, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- @192.160.216.52: I agree with the notion in the essay Deletion and deletionism where: "If you vote to "keep and cleanup", be prepared to clean up. I, for one, keep a close eye on articles where this seems to be the consensus, and I will take it back to AfD after a month or so if no one bothers to touch the article in that time. To vote for keep and cleanup and then not clean it up is just lying." So please, if you wish to keep the article then please be prepared to fix it yourself and add information from the numerous sources you have linked above (as per WP:SOFIXIT as well). The article has been a stub since its creation in 2009. There was no activity for 1 year until it was nominated AfD. -- Waddie96 (talk) 09:29, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- If you take an interest in an article where there are available reliable sources that are not in the article it is as much your responsibility to add them to the article as anyone else and taking such an article back to AFD instead of fixing it yourself is poor practice as the article will almost certainly be kept on the basis of existing rs, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 13:25, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

- Comment @Waddie96: Being a stub, for any length of time, doesn't necessitate deletion. And "Keep and Clean up" only has any moral strength at requiring those who say that if their Keep vote was contingent on it being cleaned up. Some cases obviously fall into that, however many who say that do so on the grounds of thinking it is poor, but still Keep-worthy (just) as is. I say with mixed views on this specific article, so haven't yet come to a clear view. Nosebagbear (talk)

I'm dubious about notability here. All three references, as also the "Further reading" article, are from specialized magazines/websites about "the world of watches", and I think their capacity for establishing notability in the wider world is slim. The page at The Watch Quote[17] is a dreadful puff piece about "one of the most beautiful adventures in watchmaking of the late 20th century". I looked at The Watch Quote's "Who are we?" page,[18] which is as fulsome as their page on Bell & Ross (and as the other "brand sagas" that I sampled), and it contains the suggestive statement that The Watch Quote was created "to enter into genuine partnership with the great horology brands and professionals". It looks a lot like the "partnership" involves the brand professionals writing their own page. The offers to press officers (?) and journalists to "contact our Press Service" on this page, even though vaguely phrased, suggest the same thing. The Augustman site[19] is billed as "The definitive men's network", and I can't see anything other than promotion on it; no tests, real reviews, or anything like that. Apart from such obvious infomercials, I suppose there may be mentions of Bell & Ross in reliable third-party sources that I can't find: Google gives so much advertising from sellers of the watches that it's difficult to find anything else. Anybody got anything? Bishonen | talk 15:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Are there any other sources? -- Hoary (talk) 09:47, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete There are zero indications of notability - a run-of-the-mill luxury watch company with no intellectually independent references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. None of the references are intellectually independent. The Figaro reference mentioned above from the French language wikipedia page fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND as it relies extensively (exclusively?) on an interview with Ross, one of the founders. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 12:20, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep -- I have nothing but the utmost respect for Ms. Bish, but I must respectfully disagree with her arguments in this case. Bell & Ross meets WP:GNG per (a) the sources in the article, and others as well. Just for instance, here they are discussed in a marketing textbook, their watches are reviewed, which, if these were books rather than watches, would be a clear indication of notability. In fact, they are reviewed in the NYT. In fact, they are reviewed multiple times in the NYT. In short, this company is notable. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 16:00, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The marketing textbook shows an ad for these watches and spends three sentences on the company; so yes, it mentions the company, but to say the company is "discussed" seems a stretch. The first "review" in the NYT looks to me like something out of The Onion; but my (irrelevant) opinion aside, it uncritically recycles self-flattery, for example “Sapphire represents for us the apex of luxury,” said Carlos A. Rosillo, chief executive of Bell & Ross. “It is the material of choice for a product that we finish so flawlessly that it has nothing to hide.” And more of the same kind of twaddle. The second "review" says In recent years, Bell & Ross has introduced watches alongside high-concept supercars and motorcycles from its own design team. This year it’s taking that approach to a new level by pairing a watch with a plane, a single-seater pylon racer created by the brand’s co-founder and creative director, Bruno Belamich. The BR-Bird plane has the wings; the BRV1 and BRV2 Racing Bird watches have the hour and minute hands. This is the BRV2 chronograph version, which shares its graphic look with the plane, and will be made in a run of 999 pieces. -- no more than uncritical recycling of PR puffery. Where is the review? Is the watch accurate, reliable, durable, comfortable, legible? We're not told. (Or, imaginably, we are told; but my rather odd way of reading the NYT hides this from me. So please feel free to correct me.) -- Hoary (talk) 23:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- To me it looks like you don't appreciate the same kinds of qualities in high-end watches that their users and manufacturers do. You want accurate, reliable, durable, comfortable, legible? Buy a Timex. The point is that the NYT covers the watch, not that the NYT covers the watch in a manner that you, who aren't part of the stupidly expensive watch community, would approve of. You call it uncritical recycling of PR puffery, but actually it's providing the information that the people who care about those watches care about. This is why we rely on RS coverage rather than our own opinions. If the NYT publishes it we assume they're publishing the relevant info. They know more about it than we do. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 12:31, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- On first reading, 192.160.216.52, I found your comment peculiarly annoying. When I asked myself why this was, I had to concede that it was because the comment was rather good. I can almost agree with it. However: You call it uncritical recycling of PR puffery, but actually it's providing the information that the people who care about those watches care about. The second half may well be true. If it is true, then why the "but" in the middle? (Why not You call it uncritical recycling of PR puffery, and so it is; despite this, actually it's providing the information that the people who care about those watches care about?) I can also concede that the NYT knows a lot more about its business than I do. I suggest that an important part of its business revenue is "luxury" advertising and that "luxury" advertorial content keeps advertisers happy. But whatever the reason why the NYT text is flatus, it's flatus, whereas this is an encyclopedia. ¶ I looked for (somewhat) critical material about watches. It exists. "A Blog to Watch" publishes a lot of bland and uncritical "first looks"; but among these are actual reviews, for example this of an Orient watch. Strangely (to me), the matter of how well it keeps the time goes unmentioned (ditto in the other reviews that I looked at), but the reviewer exhibits a critical intelligence when evaluating its legibility, scratchproofness, etc. So sources can and do write up wristwatches without going gaga. Any examples for Bell & Ross? -- Hoary (talk) 06:27, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Horological and watch enthusiast publications have some quirks. Critical reviews (i.e. those that assess the quality of materials, fit and finish, movement accuracy, etc.) are reserved for watches in the (what is considered low end) $300-$1000 range. Reviews of the luxury watch segment (Rolex, Brietling, Omega, Bell&Ross, etc.) tend to sound gushy and swoony because the quality is expected to be (and usually is) superb when you're paying $3,000-$10,000 for a watch. Watch movements used in that caliber are typically Swiss or in-house and are certified by the COSC to chronometer standards, so accuracy (i.e. "does it keep time?") isn't an issue. All this makes high end watch reviews hard to distinguish from adverts, because they read like a Car & Driver review of a Lamborghini, i.e. slick photos and gushy prose. Anyway, I removed all the sources that were questionably fluffy and added some more serious sources. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:18, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep The brand in question has an entire page on their website where they archive Independent press coverage of their watches going back 4 years for pete's sake (some may be advertorial but certainly not all of it): https://www.bellross.com/pressreview It is a luxury watch company and gets the sort of coverage luxury brands get. AlasdairEdits (talk) 15:00, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see this archive, AlasdairEdits. I see a set of illustrations of (cover?) pages. One can click on these. I did, a few times. Each time, I got something larger, but no more informative.

- Delete: LuckyLouie, you say you "added some more serious sources". Here's one of these: <ref name="GJ">{{cite web|last1=Lee|first1=Josh|title=Behind the brand: Bell & Ross|url=https://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/article/behind-the-brand-bell-ross/|website=The Gentleman's Journal|publisher=Gentleman's Journal|accessdate=12 April 2018}}</ref>. Its opening sentence: Internationally renowned and revered by timepiece cognoscenti everywhere, Bell & Ross has become a benchmark in the world of professional aviation watches, despite being relatively new to the industry. Its closing sentence: By combining refined aesthetics with the expertise of Haute Horlogerie, it’s little wonder why Bell & Ross has become the yardstick by which other houses measures themselves against. And what's between these two sentences is more of the same twaddle, as the writer bangs on about such seemingly no-nonsense (but actually vapid) things as in order to guarantee high-quality [sic], only the strictest quality controls are implemented, regardless of however [sic] complex the mechanism is (Just what are these quality controls, and are they stricter than those used by Rolex, Seiko or whoever? We're not told) and saying that form follows function, while saying that form follows "tribute" the Vintage collection pays tribute to key eras of the great aeronautical adventure, and particularly to the aviators who were the first professionals to consider the wristwatch as an asset on their missions (in particular, a big deal is made out of the design notion of a circle within a square) or is "radar-inspired". A wristwatch is referred to as "wrist armour" in one context where it might actually be armour ... but also in a second context where it can't be. I imagine that the bullshit in this non-article is designed to lull the reader into an appreciative stupor and to encourage advertising; whether or not the content is mere churnalism, it's junk. Failing to see how an encyclopedia worth the name can be built on junk, I believe that this article should be deleted. -- Hoary (talk) 23:08, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delete: Not notable per GNG, NCORP, WP:CORPDEPTH and Wikipedia is "NOT" a business yellow page directory nor free advertising vehicle. The last two alone give amply reasoning why a run-of-the-mill luxury watch company (as stated above), should not be presented on Wikipedia. There are many multiple hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of companies and this is why we don't advertise for them as they are not encyclopedic. The company self-professes "as a young house" and there is no historical significance. This continued push to get companies listed on Wikipedia needs to be resisted according to current policies and guidelines. Let them pay facebook in lieu of free full page Wikipedia sponsored advertising. Oh! It is free so why not --right? What about the "AeroGT concept car" that would seem to be pretty notable.

Not a notable DJ duo. They have placed on the DJ Mag Top 100 polls for several years but it does not indicate notability because the polls are determined by fan votes.

- @DCCLXXVII: Please re-read WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO, (actually, all of Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:GNG. Simply being in films or TV shows, credited or not, is insufficient. The Atlanta Actors Award, assuming it is the same as this one, is not a well known award. We need significant coverage of the subject from multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the subject . Promotional coverage, press releases, passing mentions, self-published, or coverage in non-reliable sources do not demonstrate notability. While the subject may become notable in the future, Wikipedia does not jump the gun to cover subjects before they are become known (lest we perpetuate outright promotion), and it currently appears too soon for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not IMDB, nor LinkedIn. And if you are affiliated with Mr. Jackson, paid or otherwise please review conflict of interest guidelines. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:14, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

- Strong Keep- the article is listed as a good article, and hasn't hurt anyone for ~6 years. Both of these create a presumption for inclusion, and I haven't seen anything to rebut that presumption. Being a single from a significant artist is also strongly in the article's favor. Passes WP:GNG. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:28, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Being a good article has nothing to do with notability. In fact it suggests that what we see is what we get (i.e. there are unlikely to be any more good sources out there to demonstrate GNG). How long it has been here is irrelevant, but it has been tagged with a notability and reliable sources tag for nearly two years so I am not the first to question its notability. Can you show a reliable source that gives significant independent coverage of the single (requirement of WP:GNG)? Album reviews don't count. I have gone through all the independent sources in the article and not found anything. It fails the WP:SNG so must rely on GNG. We don't presumed every significant artists singles are notable. The only argument I can think of to keep is that the other singles on the record have singles. That is weak at the best of time, but especially as some of those singles should probably be deleted as well. AIRcorn (talk) 18:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

- It needs to be mentioned that it is not worth singling out this article. Most of the articles listed at Category:Nigerian academic administrators and Category:Nigerian academics were created at that editathon. The status of most of those articles is similar and therefore you could possibly find out the organisers and arrange for mass improvement of those articles. It seems that Princebenj (talk · contribs) (also the creator of the mentioned article) could have been one of the organisers. I would therefore insist you to take the critical issues up with him, especially because he is still continuing to create similar articles. I am just another volunteer who is trying to help.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Of the five accessible sources in the article, only one appears to actually be about this topic; the other four are only passing mentions or otherwise not specifically about triangular corner flags. One of the sources is Football-Stadiums.co.uk, which as far as I can tell is not used in any other article (and in any case, I am unsure about its reliability). I don't have any access to the two books so I don't know how much detail they give the topic. As for triangular corner flags themselves, most of what I could find online are forum posts. Had corner flag been a separate article rather than a redirect, I would have suggested a merge there. At best, perhaps this could get a brief mention at FA Cup.

- Merge to Football pitch - Properly sourced, this could be an encyclopaedic topic, but not as a separate article. Corner flag would be my preference, but since that topic is also insufficiently notable for its own article, football pitch will have to do. – PeeJay 09:46, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep It fulfills WP:GNG, this is a tradition in English football culture which is certainly not insubstantial. Indeed I could even cite the film (which I think I will). The sources are more than just passing mentions for example, the Telegraph one is stating that the Triangular flags are a reason for why AFC Wimbledon was stating a claim to be the heirs to Wimbledon. The book sources cite the tradition being used popularly but erroneously in quizzes and the other cites football context. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:52, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- Not really. The existing football pitch article only mentions the existence of corner flags as delineating the pitch dimensions.

Rename I agree that Ascot-Guildford is an un-notable service rather than a line, but if we delete it what line do we show for the stations at Bagshot, Camberley and Frimley? I propose that we rename and amend the article to cover the Ascot-Ash Vale line, or at a push Ascot-Aldershot. Trains reverse at Aldershot to continue through Ash to Guildford so this section is clearly not part of the same line. Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:36, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Once-proposed college which has never actually existed and whose web/social media presences have not been updated in nearly two years. Appears to be defunct and non-notable. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:58, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I am the creator of this page and I apologize for the slow response and indeed for my recent neglect of it and of Wikipedia generally--it simply has not been possible for me to spend much time on Wikipedia, but I hope that this situation is now changing and that I will be able to participate more. With respect to the deletion proposal I would make a few observations. First, it does seem to be true that they have not been using their Facebook and Twitter accounts at all. But having said that it does not seem to me that the level of social media use ought to have any relevance to Wikipedia (and especially to deliberations like this one), either positively or negatively. There are lots of reasons people and organizations back away from social media, and their having done so ought no more be seen negatively by Wikipedians than having a strong social media presence is seen positively. It's just irrelevant. Second, I don't see their website in the same way because official websites are often a usable source of some importance. In this case they appear to altered their website quite extensively since I last looked at it. In particular I note that they have made at least 15 new board appointments since they gave up on social media almost two years ago. This hardly seems compatible with the claim that this organization is defunct especially given that their recent appointees include the likes of David Alton, Deirdre McCloskey, Roger Scruton, Anthony Daniels, David Gelernter, Vernon L. Smith (a Nobel prize winner!), Ruth Wisse, and George Walker. Even in its pre-student phase this organization appears to be seen as an importance locus of innovation. Third, a quick check on the IRS website shows that the IRS still regards them as an existent tax-exempt entity, and under these circumstances I think the presumption should be that it is too soon to determine that they are out of business. Perhaps one should also bear in mind that it's surely not strange for a start-up college to spend quite a long doing fund-raising and similar tasks so that one might well expect that there would be a period of several years between the legal founding of the institution and the beginning of teaching. (For comparison I note that the University of Georgia was founded more than 16 years before its first classes.) I will try to find out more about this; I do not live in Savannah but I know people who do and perhaps there is information in the public domain about their current state of development. In the meantime I will do what I can over the next few days to improve the page. I suppose I may be a bit biased because I created the page but I really do think that for now this article should stay. Tillander 14:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- The problem is that having a bunch of names on a "Board of Visitors" is not evidence of existence or of notability; having an actual campus and holding actual classes would be. There is vanishingly little reliably-sourced evidence that this organization has any real existence. If the best you can do is point to "here's some names of people who are on an unpaid advisory board," that's not notability. If this does become an actual college at some point, we can create an article on it then. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- It's true certainly that the mentions in the local press and elsewhere (such as the New York Times) are not recent (presumably this is what you're thinking of when you say "vanishingly") but once again this seems to me only to be expected in an organization that is still engaged (primarily I'm guessing) in raising funds, and it certainly does not mean it seems to me that the organization is not actual or lacks real existence.Tillander 15:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- The “New York Times” mention is an 8-year-old mention in an opinion blog post, and is entirely based on the self-declaration of the purported college’s founder. There is no reporting involved, and 8 years later, there is no more evidence that this “college” will become an actual thing than there was then: not much. Again, we aren’t here to promote things that someone wishes will be. If and when Ralston College exists outside a website and defunct social media sites, we can write an article about it.

- This is worth taking a look at: https://vimeo.com/167070060 It certainly suggests that at least some of the visitors aren't just titular, and I find it informative in other ways.

- I'm still inclined to think (and have thought all along) that the range of notable individuals associated with the organization that is the subject of this article is sufficiently unusual and remarkable to cause one to see the article in a somewhat unusual light. Certainly the involvement of Harry Lewis is significant and, judging by the vimeo link in my preceding post, substantial. The same may well be true of the involvement of people like Stanley Fish, Douglas Hofstadter, and Harvey Silverglate. Tillander 11:28, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- The news articles still strongly tie the college to Blackwood, so this can be developed there as a section as perhaps Blackwood's most notable contribution besides Boethius. The name drops of who is involved isn't really helping, as lots of organizations have notable sponsors. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:35, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

News article (WP:NOTNEWS WP:UNDUE) by a Abahlali baseMjondolo, a fringe political group, that seems to be/have been using Wikipedia for self-promotion/propaganda (WP:COI) and as a gazette, in which events and persons connected to this minor organisation seem to be given undue weight. Unfortunately violence in South Africa is not notable in itself, and rioting was common during the time period in question. By the standards of South African township riots, it seems to have been rather tame, and it fails WP:Notability. Like other Abahlali articles, the formatting of the article is excellent for an article about a South African topic, and it appears to be well-sourced, but that should not impact on the decision to remove it, or merge it Park3r (talk) 09:54, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

This topic has not yet generated coverage in independent RS, per WP:RS, that are needed for verifiability and notability per WP:GNG--perhaps a case of WP:TOOSOON. While not yet suitable for WP, this content may fit better at Wikiversity and may be a good candidate for a transwiki transfer.

The result was delete. Whether to create a redirect is an editorial decision.
We still do not agree whether certain types of school should be considered inherently notable, and that discussion has been going in circles for a long time. But this AfD is particular in that the "delete" side contends that there are no third-party reliable sources to make the content of this article even verifiable. Prima facie, that seems to be true, given that all references in the article are to the school's own website. One could argue that this website is an acceptable primary source, but that argument is not made here, and in any case the idea of sourcing an article exclusively to the subject itself is anathema to the concept and practice of verifiability as we understand it.
The "keep" arguments all assert notability based on this being a college, but they do not address the sourcing concerns or offer new sources. Because of the fundamental importance of WP:V as a core policy, which cannot be superseded by local consensus, the "keep" opinions have to be disregarded. Sandstein 19:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

- Keep -- Per DGG. Furthermore, nom offers no good reasons to go against long-established WP practice of keeping articles on colleges. Colleges are notable, full stop. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:19, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- The classic circular reasoning to keep something because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past because it was kept in the past. Is there any policy-based argument? The Banner talk 15:05, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- The policy-based argument is that we keep things for which there is consensus to keep. The fact that they have routinely been kept in the past is evidence for consensus so we don't have to keep rearguing the same points every time someone wakes up and thinks they're going to change everything. See WP:FENCE and start another RfC if you want to change the long-established consensus that colleges are notable and their articles are kept. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:01, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- Obvious Keep: secondary school articles are normally kept to prevent overwhelming and inundating AFD with deletion discussions. Which is just what seems to be happening with JZSJ's articles. Based on the rationale that secondary articles are kept as a matter of convention, we should obviously keep university articles. Per WP:PRESERVE, WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, WP:IFITAINTBROKE, WP:IAR. – Lionel(talk) 01:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- So you prefer to keep non-notable institution based on a dodgy circular reasoning but without a policy-based background? The Banner talk 08:42, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- The argument for keep based on previous practice is not circular reasoning. One of the virtues of an encyclopedia is consistency. We deal with that by maintaining the status quo unless there is consensus to do otherwise. If necessary, we establish that consensus by an RfC. The most recent RfC said there was no consenus to change the practice of always keep secondary school articles. It didn't explicitly discuss universities, but whatever reasons apply to keeping high school articles, would apply all the more to universities.
- True, the RfC also said there was no consensus that just referring to the original statement is commonoutcomes was not sufficient. I'm not referrring to common outcomes, but to the RfC, wich is he authority for saying there is no accepted change in the prior practice.
- Additionally, there is the underlying reason for having this practice, which not that all high schools are notable, but that treating them as if they are is a compromise to avoid the many thousands of AfDs that would otherwise give essentially random results. The present AfD and the small number of subsequent AfDs, which have essentially given the same random decisions unrelated to the actual relative notability of the specific schools, is the best reason to continue the practice. Nobody is served by elaborate discussions that yield random results, neither those who wish to keep or to delete such articles.
- And I mention there is another haldf to thecompromise: we do not routinely keep primary schools. If we didn['t continue to observe the compromise, we'd be debating every one of these also. DGG ( talk ) 01:27, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- So why are you starting those discussions when you know that is based on nothing. has there been a wiki-wide vote to determine this or is it just a local consensus among a small WikiProject?

Comment: Notability of colleges and universities is described as advice in an essay which is NOT a policy or guideline. Unfortunately, the essay's advice leaves us with a quandary that hinges on two assertions related to our discussion here: the first sentence in the "Notability" section, In general, all colleges and universities are de facto notable and should be included on Wikipedia
; and a sentence under "Reliable sources", Self-published sources cannot comprise the majority of an article's citations, and cannot be used to establish a claim of notability.
I have spent more time than I care to admit searching for reliable, independent secondary sources for this article, and only found another primary source, the founding organization, the site of a Jesuit mission in Madurai Province. As the sponsoring institution, we have to consider it as another "self-published" source. I could be wrong about that.
The college claims affiliation with Thiruvalluvar University, but that institution does not appear to list affiliation colleges individually, describing them only, "98 arts and Science college are affiliated to this university, of which 10 are government Arts and science colleges, 9 are aided Arts and science colleges, 3 are oriental title colleges, 72 are self financing Arts and Science Colleges and the remaining 4 are University Constituent colleges." Accreditation by India's National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is granted to recognized universities, not separately to "Autonomous colleges/Constituent Colleges/ Affiliated Colleges (affiliated to universities recognised by UGC as an affiliating University", so we are left with a dearth of sources to establish verifiability.
Even though I am personally satisfied that Loyola College, Vettavalam, does exist because I believe that the Jesuit Channai Mission is a credible primary source, the sourcing identified does not establish a claim of notability for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the current WP article on Thiruvalluvar University does not list any affiliated colleges individually, so even a merge with that article does not look very promising. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:51, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
The consensus as established by the last RfC is that we keep all secondary schools (and that implies upwards also). As for affiliation, almost all Indian colleges have been affiliated with one of the universities that can actually award degrees. It doesn't imply dependency. DGG ( talk ) 22:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- You have a very special reading of that RfC. The Banner talk 22:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I'm not sure which RfC you're talking about, DGG, but presumably not the one in February 2017 where the main result was "Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist"? For general reference, and for 192.160.216.52 in particular, here are the results of the RfC, copied straight from WP:Schooloutcomes:
![]() | The closure of this February 2017 RFC provided the following RfC nutshell results regarding the above section:
|
- I'm also having difficulty following your reasoning in your longer post higher up this page. If I read you correctly, you say "... [it's] not that all high schools are notable, but that treating them as if they are ...[avoids thousands of AfDs]". If that were a valid argument, why on earth would we not apply it to biographies? – think of all the AfD discussions that could be avoided! We could choose some arbitrary criterion (being dead, say), and just have a page on everyone who meets it. Or we could use our heads and apply some sensible and stringent criteria for inclusion. We do that for people, and we ought to be doing it for schools too. There are, I imagine, many millions of schools in the world (how many in China alone?); we obviously can't have an article on every one of them, and nor should we try to unless we also have something to say about them. To do that we need in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources, just as we do for all other kinds of article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- that's selective quoting from the nutshell, not the close. The close also said (in paragraph 3): " SO remains perfectly valid as a statement of what usually happens to extant secondary schools at AFD" It furthermore said about the proposition "Should secondary schools whose existence is verified by reliable, independent sources be presumed to be notable?" answered "Based on the discussion, we find that the community is leaning towards rejecting the statement posed in the RFC, but this stops short of a rough consensus." Thus, there is no consensus to reject the statement. Since this would seem somewhat contradictory to other selective quotes fro the closing, the only final result is there is no consensus to change anything in our prior practice. The text in the nutshell is a not actually a representation of the actual close--this is not all that unusual in WP--there are hundreds of such contradictions, which is why to the extent that the purpose of rules is to be a guide, "the actual rules are whatever we do consistently."
- I'm also having difficulty following your reasoning in your longer post higher up this page. If I read you correctly, you say "... [it's] not that all high schools are notable, but that treating them as if they are ...[avoids thousands of AfDs]".

To do that we need in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources, just as we do for all other kinds of article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- With people, experience shows we can come to somewhat rational results. Most fields of biography have standards supplementary to the GNG, which permit such decisions, and there is a rough agreement-- most of the time the more important are kept and the less important are not. (though the people interested in each of the various fields tend to think their field is treated unfairly strictly, within each field the decision make sense. For schools, it depends entirely on who shows up and on how much they care: before the compromise, the results were random having no connecting to any sense. Even if one wanted to try to decide rationally, in a field where sources are scarce, the result depends if you want to argue the qualifying terms in the GNG (substantial, independent, reliable, secondary) to yield a delete or keep result--I learned very soon that in any school afd I could equally do either. I have not analyzed the few recent afds, but the results so far seem equally random. To quote the close once more, "It's worth noting that this discussion does imply that schools are special."
- the current state of things seems to be that each side is trying to persist longer than the other, which I suppose can be justified by saying the people who care the most will be most persistent. Basically, we need a truce. We had one for many years, until the school deletionists decided to break it. DGG ( talk ) 04:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- I feel it may be usefull to have another RFC to see if we can get a clearer consensus. It’s been some time and we have had conversations like this on many school AfDs. BillHPike (talk, contribs) 04:58, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- To my opinion, it would be good enough when people start adhering to the present consensus (see the RfC) that school articles can be removed when the article does not show its notability. The Banner talk 05:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- If you find that people aren't "adhering to the present consensus" it may be time to start thinking about whether you misunderstand the present consensus. A consensus is by definition what people adhere to. I've been saying all along that if you all don't like SCHOOLOUTCOMES or its use in AfDs you ought to start an RfC on it rather than trying to pick off individual articles and accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of violating some imaginary consensus. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 12:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

The result was keep. The consensus is that the sources available indicate that the subject is notable. Some editors qualified their support for keeping this article, stating that since the event occurred only recently, its lasting significance is still uncertain; as a result, another discussion on the suitability of this article may be appropriate in the future (but not immediately after this one).

Delete - Sounds like news, reads like news, and feels like news; safe to say it is news, but Wikipedia is not news. Anyone who claims crimes do not somehow apply should read our criteria for events:A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article.
Attempting to claim RAPID--the only actual "rationale" to keep--assumes there will be notability in the future and that is obvious crystalballing.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 07:41, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep (for now) This "spate" or string of knife attacks don't make this independently notable. But I am a realist and know some editors like breaking news, especially on very certain types of crimes. So, as with other crimes, I will wait when RAPID can't be used as an excuse and a more legitimate discussion can take place--either back at AFD or with a selective merge.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 14:19, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Having expressed you opinion that this crime is not notable, I advise you not to start a merge on that talk page in a few months because it can look like an an attempt to delete an article you DONOTLIKE stealthily. An article that has been through a contested AdD should probably be taken back to AfD if an editor feels compelled to contest notability a 2nd time.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:06, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- E.M.Gregory, as you commonly say, WP:AGF. If you think that is the purpose of a merge discussion, you clearly do not understand the process.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, but I do. In contested subject areas, articles are merged, then specifics and sources are deleted, text reduced, and an editor makes a comment like: ("this is not "list of crimes committed by individual immigrants")[36] as he deletes the material (crime) from the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

- Keep - The nom is defective. The nom says the event is not notable. If it were not notable, it would not have received coverage from, as included in the article: 1. n-tv; 2. Die Welt; 3. Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung; 4. Bild; 5. The Local; 6. Focus (German magazine); 7. Tz (newspaper); 8. Neue Presse (on the German Wikipedia); 8. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Furthermore, if it were not notable, it would not have received continuous coverage on, as included in the article: 25 March, 26 March, 31 March, 28 March, 27 March, 29 March, 7 April, 2 April, 10 April, 12 April. Furthermore, the nom says the aftermath is something about Facebook. The nom is wrong. The aftermath covers: (1). The national debate about immigration sparked in Germany as a result of this attack (with three WP:RS); (2). The response from the State Prime Minister; (3). The hate speech investigation; (4). The exploitation of the attack for electoral purposes by the third largest political party in Germany, i.e., Alternative for Germany. Objections raised by others include that this was a "regional" event. This is erroneous. If it were regional, why is it being covered by the following not local media: I- n-tv; II- Die Welt; III- The Local; IV- Focus; V- Tz (a Munich/Bavaria paper in the South, here covering a Hannover event in the Northwest); VI- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The claim of "regional/local" is entirely disproven. The final objection is WP:NOTNEWS. This claim for deletion is based on a misreading of policy. The policy is aimed against entertainment news. Specifically, WP:NOTNEWS reads "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." This case on the contrary is a notable crime which has fueled a national debate (specifically: "knife attacks further fuels debate over refugees and violence"[5]; "The deed has triggered a political debate on juvenile delinquency and the integration of refugees"[6]). Besides, this is clearly not "routine news reporting" on "announcements, sports, or celebrities". This is routine news reporting a major crime and therefore WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. I can only recommend re-reading the WP:NOTNEWS policy. Finally, the unsound arguments in favor of NOTNEWS are trumped by WP:NCRIME, which reads «Articles about criminal acts, particularly those that fall within the category of "breaking news", are frequently the subject of deletion discussions. As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act», so keeping this article ought to be adjudicated by default, as clearly the coverage has been extensive and continuous. XavierItzm (talk) 21:35, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep due to sources brought by User:XavierItzm and the fact that Youth knifing spate alarms German police unions/a-43225871. Mreover, he growing concern over this and similar attacks in the recent "spate" makes this a matter of of WP:RAPID. E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:22, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep for instance the Focus article is a national-level publication. Also, the "regional news" referred to above refers to regions with 8 million people (Lower Saxony). 8 million is more than the population of Norway or Denmark. AadaamS (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Continuing wide national coverage, some international coverage - meeting WP:NCRIME at this time (possibly qualified with WP:RAPID - as we do not know the state of future continuing coverage, but coverage up to now merits inclusion).Icewhiz (talk) 06:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

No WP:RS to establish WP:NARTIST. I have also AfD'd his Interartcenter at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interartcenter (2nd nomination). This BLP is a COI and promotional in tone. Agora Gallery is a well known Vanity Gallery. Both books are self published at Createspace [42] and Lulu (URL is blacklisted by Wikipedia, so can't put it here, but you can search for it). I could not verify the claim that "His works presented in the State Russian Museum." I found this blog-like page with photos on it [43], and a passing reference here [44] neither of which I think establish N. I did look through onesearch and found the cognitive science article mentioned (Cialone, C., Tenbrink, T., & Spiers, H. (2018). Sculptors, Architects, and Painters Conceive of Depicted Spaces Differently. Cognitive Science, 42(2), 524-553.) which isn't about his art, but rather uses his art (amongst others) to understand the science of depicting space; which is to say I don't think it establishes WP:N. Nor does inclusion of an illustration in a high school textbook. Theredproject (talk) 00:29, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- The BBC source doesn't work for me. I get an error message that says "This content doesn't seem to be working". I'm fairly certain that discogs is not a suitable source. Even if it did serve to verify that Grie created something, that doesn't help to establish notability. It concerns me that the discogs page links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Grie and http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B6%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B6_%D0%93%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B5 which I see as indications of professionalism. The robot covers show that indeed, something that is very likely Grie's work was on the cover, but again, it fails to establish notability. Perhaps this attempt at summarizing WP:N is instructive: Unless more than two people who have no connection to you write an in-depth book or article about you in a publication that has a reputation for reliability and fact-checking, you are not notable. Vexations (talk) 20:00, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Perhaps this BBC screenshot will be helpful to you. [53]Artsgrie (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Let me cite WP:N Article content does not determine notability- “Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability.” .. so your statement “you are not notable” looks to me more like a personal insult! And a bit more WP:N citing …Notability requires verifiable evidence - ”Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally” There is no mentioning of two “in-depth book” there. In my opinion the article has plenty of diversified references “generally”. Thank you.Artsgrie (talk) 21:52, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- I wrote: "Unless (long conditional) you are not notable." That's not an insult, and there is nothing wrong with not being notable. Please stick to providing policy-based arguments to demonstrate that notability has been established by, well whatever you think works in your favour from the general notability guidelines (WP:GNG) and subject specific notability guidelines such as WP:ARTIST. I am trying to tell you that "plenty of diversified references" is not such an argument. If you really need me to do this I will go through all your sources and explain why they fail to establish notability. Let me know when you've added all the sources you wanted to add.

- Note to closer please note the preponderance of SPA/IP accounts making WP:ILIKEIT arguments that elide the fact that there are no WP:RS. Please also note that Artsgrie is COI SPA, and Aliciawoo is a SPA creator of this article and also the now deleted article about Grie's Interartcenter - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interartcenter (2nd nomination) Theredproject (talk) 20:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I’m impressed by the number of references provided, i.g. Canada France Dutch school textbooks. Maybe, they are not strictly “academic”, but not many BLP artists who might provide as such. I think it is WP:N and ARTIST GNG compatible.69.247.58.60 (talk) 13:40, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. I have looked both in the article, and on the artist's website, and done a (cursory) Google search. While Mr Grie has a good publicity machine going, and his art has clearly been used in many places, the only source which appears at first glance to deal with his life in a significant manner is the Mikkola article (at the bottom of the reference list). By our standards, *one* such source is not enough to satisfy WP:GNG; this is not an arbitrary requirement, it is what is needed to write a meaningful article. Furthermore, in googling the author name, the journal name (Journal of Anomalous Sciences(??)), and the author name, it transpires that Mr Grie is an advisor to the journal (see p17 of http://thejournalofanomalousscience.com/JAS/Jan-Mar_2012/files/assets/downloads/publication.pdf ). Therefore, this source is not independent. Therefore it doesn't count either, and WP:GNG is not met. My further attempts to find WP:RS were complicated due to the very high volume of promotional material about the subject online, which also increases the likelihood that efforts to have an article here are likely promotionally motivated, and it will be impossible to build and maintain an impartial, nonpromotional article. Therefore delete. Martinp (talk) 21:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for your thorough research. There is only one mistake that I see. The artist has never been affiliated with the Journal of Anomalous Sciences in any way besides giving an interview and providing imagery. The same applies to other articles such as Science Geeks magazine, South Korea [54] , Welt Der Wunder, Germany [55], Oceanside Museum of Art [56], Muy Interesante science magazine, Spain Madrid [57], etc. Artsgrie (talk) 11:02, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- As regards JAS/Mikkola, why is he listed, then, as a "Journal Advisor" on p17 of the issue of the journal that I linked above? As regards the others, they are -- like many of the other listed sources -- examples where his art is used, not significant (and independent etc) articles *about* the artist. I'm sorry, but overall there are too many warning signs and not enough substance here to retain a wp article. 1) COI by an important article contributor, 2) general strong tone of self-promotion in the plethora of web mentions of this individual, 3) overuse of brief mentions of the artist and pointers where his art was merely used (rather than he as an individual discussed) in the references of the article, 4) vanishingly small number of sources that pass even a preliminary filter for WP:RS and establishing notability, 5) the single somewhat promising one being a niche publication with unclear reliability and notability itself, 6) strong concerns about independence of that source from the artist, 7) single purpose accounts voting keep in the AFD discussion. I am left with a strong taste of a nest of self-promotion including this artist, with little to go by for WP:GNG. Reaffirm Delete. Martinp (talk) 11:42, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Userfy/Draftify I would like to voice my opinion. Wiki is the project that was made by the people for the people. In a way it is a ‘’who is who’” and “what is what” of the planet. And this is a beauty of it. One can quickly find in Wiki information that cold never be found in other encyclopedias. That applies to thousands of Wiki’s stubs with no references whatsoever, but still useful. In my opinion, formalizing wiki to a “club of honor” will make it no different from other encyclopedias that nobody reeds. Cheers! 165.225.32.64 (talk) 13:49, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Userfication is useful if there is some prospect that more and better sources can be discovered. Per Wikipedia:Userfication an article can be userfied if the material is worth keeping because it has potential to be useful at some point — they may just need more work, or more time. This article has been around since 2006 and has been edited 357 times. It's not as if this hasn't had enough time. If better sources exists, they should have been found by now.

- Comment I should add that other than Kyle1278 the only people to participate in the 1st AfD in 2009 were the articles creator, and three IP address editors. No substantive arguments were presented in that discussion, hence my comfort bringing it here again. --Theredproject (talk) 00:13, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- Keep the Interartcenter website has seized to exist. However, it doesn’t mean it never existed, been popular, and had thousands of users. Are we going to get rid of all historic materials? How is it WP:G11 if the site has nothing to promote to? It has to be cleaned & updated, not deleted. Why don’t you do that rather then bluntly clicking the delete button and knocking down somebody’s work?Artsgrie (talk) 20:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment for Theredproject Is there a particular number of people that you have in mind who disagrees with you? Or it just your opinion that matters?Artsgrie (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- What matters is whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_contribute Vexations (talk) 17:09, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- You are exactly right Vexations. That is what I was trying to point out in my comment. Thank you!Artsgrie (talk) 17:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete I don't find that the four online sources, http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/interartcenter.net, http://siteanalytics.compete.com/fantasyartdesign.com/, http://interartcenter.net/interartcenter/ and http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/fantasyartdesign.com/ do anything to establish notability per the applicable guidelines at WP:NCORP.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Ulz lacks notability. The top google hit is his own website, which is also the source for the only reference citation in the article. The second google hit is this article. A check of the sources available above yields commercial websites selling his CDs, and zero dedicated articles, even in his hometown newspaper. And to quote the article itself, "Ulz did not achieve lasting fame as a folk singer/songwriter..." Ergo, delete. Tapered (talk) 22:20, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

- Keep - "zero dedicated articles, even in his hometown newspaper" claim is false - just look at the references! StefanWirz (talk) 06:57, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Please note, the various reference links on this page yield no dedicated articles, as stated. The article's references are not used as citations. Interesting. The only reference that I could run down using Google Books, Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up," mentions him as the MC in a nondescript nightclub—not the stuff of WP:N. I'm also amending the nomination to quote the article itself! Tapered (talk) 23:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - The gentleman is recently deceased, but I'm sorry to say that his notability is indirect at best. The article's main source is Mr. Ulz's own promotional website, which was an operation to promote appearances and sell merchandise. All of the other references are to books that are overwhelmingly about more famous people and which mention Mr. Ulz briefly as a peripheral background figure. Of his many co-written songs, he can be credited accordingly on those that were recorded by notable musicians, but he has received very little reliable coverage as a songwriter, performer, toymaker, etc. in his own right. Unfortunately he did not achieve enough independent notability to merit his own Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:05, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

This article's references do not talk about the subject at hand and has facts and stats that can't be verified but a self publication of the author who happens to be the owner of the site so i dont think it meets the notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by Icem4k (talk • contribs)

- Delete per nomination, fails WP:WEB and WP:GNG. There are several music blogs called "Echo" online, such as the music blog of the Liverpool Echo newspaper, etc. No significant coverage of this one in WP:RS online, and no indication of the notability of the awards won. Highly promotional at the moment, and edit history strongly suggests sockpuppetry. The Mighty Glen (talk) 08:51, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: fails WP:NWEB. It's just a blog – taking out the sources from the blog itself, and the citations linked to Alexa and Feedspot which are just web ranking listings, not a single one of the other sources actually mentions the blog anywhere or verifies any of the claims regarding its standing. Its Facebook page has 224 followers and its Twitter site a whopping 98 followers. No evidence whatsoever of notability, and pure WP:PROMO. Richard3120 (talk) 19:29, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

- This is explained at WP:CSD#G11: I'm guessing the sandbox needed a complete rewrite, although I can't see its content. It's not uncommon to see companies pasting their brochures verbatim to Wikipedia. The Mighty Glen (talk) 08:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

- @Richard3120, ChaloNiZambia, QuiteUnusual, and The Mighty Glen: aren't Alexa and Feedspot websites? your reasons are not making any sense. Listen in Zambia, blogging is a new thing so don't expect a blog to be mentioned in the BBC article just like that or have a citation from MTV. I guess all i am trying to say is we use what we could find. You people are busy degrading the blog and yet you have the same articles with less sources and promotional in nature.I think its high time we started improving articles and not nominating for deletion even whats not supposed to just because you didn't write it. And how can one surely compare ECHOMUSICBLOG to Liverpool Echo?Megatech15 (talk) 00:19, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
