Massive work of puffery. A search turns up a few sources, but the question of notability is very cloudy here due to the massive promotion going on. The vast majority of sources I checked were glancing or trivial mentions; at least half of the sources mentioned are about other topics. The quality of other sources provided does not establish notability as far as I can see. (FWIW, an earlier version of the page pretty much establishes this as an autobiography by the original page creator.) ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:51, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep After some reading, I am now happy that she had a 'significant role'(recurring characters) in three notable tv shows and change WP:ENT. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 19:43, 14 January 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
  • Keep. IMHO, she qualifies via WP:ENT, as she has appeared in four 'notable' TV series (at least, these TV series are 'notable' enough to have their own Wikipedia pages). There are also numerous links to her page from other Wikipedia pages. Do we really want to see all of these become red-linked?? Ross Finlayson (talk) 08:32, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. "Appeared" is meaningless, especially since there were only a few appearances on those shows: four times out of 134 episodes? Seven times out of 111 episodes?
Do we really want to see all of these become red-linked?? Delete the name, problem solved. --Calton | Talk 14:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She certainly meets WP:NACTOR, with significant roles in several notable shows. I have added a reference - a book about Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - which has a chapter about her in the role of Discord (not all of it is accessible on Google Books, but I have added citations to the visible information). There is also a book about Shortland Street [1], which has no preview on Google Books - does anyone have access to it? I think it's likely that there is coverage in New Zealand newspapers and magazines, too, but for this period, they are not online, as far as I am aware.

  • leaning DELETE. WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Claim to fame is their relationship with Jimi Hendricks "Hendrix recorded the songs with his friends Taharqa and Tunde Ra Aleem, twin brothers then known as Albert and Arthur Allen, R&B artists who sang backing vocals on many of his albums. They met in the early 1960s when Hendrix was touring in a backing band. The three shared a flat in Park West Village in Manhattan for a year." (Hendrix's missing Mojo found and licked into shape [Edition 2] Kenber, Billy. The Times; London (UK) [London (UK)]03 Dec 2011: 25. ). Proquest news archive, paywalled [2]. Article is about a postumous album that includes a song written by the Allen brothers, "Mojo Man." I added an article about the somg and album the Baltimore Afro-American to the page. Tehre's also a 2016 article in the Amsterdam News that mentions them (The original Black Panther Party-the Fair Play Committee celebrates 50 years Anonymous. New York Amsterdam News; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]10 Nov 2016: 36.), and an obit (Celebrating the physical life of Tunde' Ra Aleem Anonymous. New York Amsterdam News; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]11 Sep 2014: 45. ). But not much else. I've searched under both names. I'm just not seeing notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:57, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was able to find sources from the NY Post, Daily Mail, Red Bull Radio and so forth. They go by many names. They easily meet the Wikipedia requirements for notability because they released two albums on Atlantic Records and have been credited on multiple platinum and gold Jimi Hendrix records. They have been in two movies and are featured in numerous Jimi Hendrix bios. I also was able to link several Jimi Hendrix albums where the Aleems were credited as background singers. Many of these albums went Gold and Platinum. Corowitz
    • I appreciate the improvements. I think I'd be willing to withdraw the nomination at this point. I would suggest that the article be updated to include their ensemble name in the lede, additional to the other issues identified in the cleanup templates. @E.M.Gregory: I would need E.M.Gregory to agree, though. --Bsherr (talk) 15:39, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Serious damage to the aircraft - are you sure the report calls it "Slightly Damaged", other than an engine change some penetrating marks on the left wing flaps, most of the coverage are news reports which would be expected but doesnt indicate any long term notability. The injuries were not serious some were just scratces and bruises. Clearly not an "easy" keep. MilborneOne (talk) 13:08, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
An engine fire is pretty obviously serious damage. Can the plane fly with it? No. Serious? yes. Plus we have sustained coverage over two years, serious findings of wrong-doing etc. FOARP (talk) 13:17, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning keep per WP:EVENT and the Asahi Shimbun article from 2018 cited in the article. I don't have strong feelings on whether the ongoing coverage is sufficiently substantial, but I certainly would not have considered nominating the article for deletion had I simply happened upon it. Dekimasuよ! 20:08, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Since there were no fatalities and (apparently) no significant process/procedure changes as a result of the incident, it all comes down to whether the damage to the aircraft was serious or not. I lean towards keep, because an engine fire seems pretty serious to me, even though this one wasn't as bad because of the timing of the incident (caught before takeoff rather than after). PohranicniStraze (talk) 20:16, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know whether it qualifies as a significant process/procedure change, bu the FAA did issue an airwothiness directive as a result of the accident requesting inspection of turbofans of the same model as that in which the fire occurred, see p. 56 of the JTSB report. FOARP (talk) 12:53, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP: The document you posted also has some other actions that could point towards a Keep result - on pg. 57, it is mentioned that the engine manufacturer made changes to their manufacturing and inspection process, and the airline made some noticeable changes to their evacuation diagrams and procedures. PohranicniStraze (talk) 04:02, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Barely newsworthy", but covered by news reports over a period of years? FOARP (talk) 11:12, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage two years after the event isn't continued coverage? An engine fire isn't significant damage? FOARP (talk) 21:45, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Engine fires are routine aviation incidents (though usually in flight, not during takeoff) - e.g. the Australian regulator had some 40 (IFSD + engine failures) events in 2008-2002.[3] (number used to be much higher - was curious what the modern incidence rate was). If the sole followup reporting is the obligatory air safety investigation report (and not much reporting thereof) - it is not continuing coverage in my mind. If you had this incident mentioned along side other incidents, or other coverage - I would be possibly swayed.Icewhiz (talk) 11:12, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete — Coverage is too inconsistent to be considered continued. The engine fire is indeed minor in comparison to notable incidents and the injuries not too serious (thankfully). Perhaps some future evaluation/reflection beyond the routine investigative work will be made, establishing a claim of notability. But as of now, that is not the case.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:30, 3 January 2019 (UTC)Editor has been blocked INDEF.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The relevant essay says "The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport; or The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry." We could argue about whether it was serious damage or not, but "the FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive mandating inspection of engines of the type involved in the fire" means that there was a change to regulations resulting from the accident. (I also see that this accident is mentioned as an example of what could be prevented if there was prognostics and health management [4].) RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Requiring inspections of similar engines after an incident does not look like a change in regulation, only an enforcement of it.Charles (talk) 09:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Google Scholar search suggests a pass of WP:PROF#C1; he’s the first author of several publications cited >100 times.

  • Restore to redirect. This was redirected twice to a valid topic for this unbuilt project and the most recent time it was restored by a random IP on the basis of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. This was not built and never will *be* built so we don't follow the "it's an aircraft, it's notable" standard. It has to clearly pass GNG - and as far as I can tell it does not. There was a brief burst of company-sourced interest in this and then - unlike the OTHERSTUFF the IP cited - it died away to nothing. The references in there now are GlobalSecurity (questionable reliability), Beriev (primary source), and Seaplane International, which is the one that is a start at GNG but.. If anyone can find and add additional third-party reliable sources that aren't regurgitations of Beriev's promotion at the time, then I'll happily change to Keep - in fact, find one reference in AvLeak and add it and I'll change on the spot - but barring that, this can be covered in the article it has been redirected to, twice. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:21, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Who says? WP:NBASE specifically list the WBC as a major international event. I see no reason why qualifiers would not be included.--TM 21:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The qualification is not actually the tournament... by definition it is a qualification tournament.. a separate thing... and involves many nations that dont make the tournament and have no chance of making it.. opening it up to all of them is really silly.. as those players are not going to get the level of coverage that WP:BASE is talking about. Spanneraol (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a physician and medical writer, not properly sourced to any evidence that she passes our notability standards for physicians or writers. As always, the notability test for people is not just the ability to nominally verify that they and their work exist, but the references here are exclusively to her own primary source profiles on the self-published websites of organizations she's directly affiliated with. To be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article, however, what she needs is reliable source coverage in media sources that are independent of her, which haven't been shown here at all — people get Wikipedia articles by having media do journalism about them, not by having staff profiles on the self-published websites of their own employers.

  • Keep Passes WP:PROF as argued above. (I am not convinced that the organizations of which she is past president [5] or Fellow [6] are "major" enough/sufficiently exclusive about who they make Fellows to count, but they are at least in the "eh, doesn't hurt" category.) The underlying theme of that guideline is that scholars and academics can be noteworthy through their work even without gobs of media coverage, which seems to be the case here. The article could stand a good de-CV-ization, but I don't think it warrants deletion. XOR'easter (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - she may actually meet WP:PROF #1. 1 and 2 referenced in the article are independent RS which refer to her as a "giant" or "legend" in her field.

I Prod'ed this as WP:NOTDICT; the tag was removed with the irrelevant rationale; 'meets notabity guidelines'. It is still a dictionary definition, and I believe that the underlying principle is way older than 2004, as claimed. TheLongTone (talk) 16:09, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's an explanation of a concept. This is not a dictionary definition any more than our articles on (to take a few random examples) procedural democracy, political mobilization, rule of law, etc. are dictionary definitions. Neutralitytalk 16:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - much like the page Whataboutism, this is a slogan. I agree it seems likely that this combination of words has been used in history classrooms for years to describe in particular court-packing. This usage note deserves a wiktionary page. The text in the article is good, it deserves to be kept. Should it be merged to a larger article (Constitutional Crisis#Tactics, for example), or should it feed the google knowledge engine an infobox and blurb? I don't know. Others will perhaps have stronger opinions. SashiRolls t · c 16:56, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename the article is named after a buzzword (which is probably a non-notable neologism). The general topic regarding political norms in the United States is surely notable.

If you just click on the Article Search Google Books link and Scholar, you will find a whole library full of books and scholarly articles dealing with this subject. And this is also regularly part of the discourse in common news sources. These are at the top of this WP:AFD nomination, and it is easy to click on.
Exceeds WP:GNG. Already way more than a dictionary definition.
It should inform all of us whether this exercise should continue.

  • Keep If the NOM had done a WP:BEFORE they would have noticed. Searching Google for a definition, the first entries for the subject come from the law schools at Yale, Georgetown, Columbia and Harvard. Other WP:RS quote those law discussions. Simply put, its a thing which the article covers, supported by sources. I'll go further. This is an example of a frivolous AfD. I think the NOM should be penalized for wasting our time. Trackinfo (talk) 23:22, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about for those who ignore WP:AGF? TJRC (talk) 05:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While I assume TJRC meant that comment as a sarcastic personal attack against me, there actually is a point to be made. Editors who are adjudicated as having violated WP:AGF can have their editing privileges removed. There is no enforcement against editors who abuse WP:BEFORE. I am not referring to the Nominator of this ill founded AfD, but there are some who are serial abusers of creating *fDs without performing WP:BEFORE and I do think there should be a point system to adjudicate abuse so those editors should lose their *fD nominating privileges. Trackinfo (talk) 06:55, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, we all WP:AGF because it is required. Moreover, the implicit threats to those who transgress is a mere Whataboutism diversion. I trust we will be WP:Civil and comment on the edits and article, not on each other.
The article should not be deleted. 7&6=thirteen () 16:25, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. WP:CRYSTAL says "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This event is notable and almost certain to take place (in about three weeks). It could certainly be built out more already--for comparison, see the Italian, German, or French versions of this page.

Immediate reaction from one originator

Not fan fiction

It is not clear what is meant by 'fanfiction' (or 'fan fiction'?). The Dr Who meme is fiction of course, but this was a serious attempt to contribute to contemporary drama in a meaningful way. I will ask the author and the community concerned to dig deeper into the references and respond here - the article (as it stands) was published shortly after the completion of the first performance(s).

It is important in the local history

The development and production of this dramatic work was at the behest of, and with the support of, an extensive local community in Liverpool. It is an important factor in their recent history and dramatic efforts. It gained wider interest as will be evidenced and it was the beginning of a project that will continue.

It is an important shared matter for different groups

This work stands at the intersection of at least four perspectives: the core Dr Who fan base, those interested in Dr Who spin-offs, the Ken Campbell fan base, the community of local actors in Liverpool that supported and realised it, and it also demonstrates an idea that actual recorded material from deceased performers can be used to perpetuate their work and inspire future work. There is of course an argument that it could be incorporated into some other (better-known?) corpus of Wikipedia work, but this reviewer's view is that it is better to let it stand alone and be cross-referenced from other places.

I will revert with further comments when I have heard from other sources AndyB (talk) 07:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Isgro is now vice-chair of the Maine Republican Party and a multi-term mayor of one of Maine's largest cities. Those are his "claims to fame". The incident with David Hogg contributes to his notability but its existence is not reason to delete his article.--TM 18:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Neither being vice-chair of a state political party chapter, nor being mayor of a city with a population of just 16K, constitutes an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL — and no, the fact that the state is small enough that a population of 16K is enough to make it one of the state's 15 largest cities does not automatically make him special, as the notability standards for mayors do not test for the city's ranking in an ordinal list of city sizes either. The notability test for smalltown mayors hinges entirely on the ability to reliably source enough genuinely substantive content about him to make him a special case over and above most other smalltown mayors — but that hasn't been shown here at all, and nothing that has been shown here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to pass that test. Bearcat (talk) 20:07, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Does Isgro's notability rise "over and above" most people in a similar office? Of course. Both the controversy around David Hogg and his subsequent election as vice chair of the Maine Republican Party mark Isgro as substantially more notable than Maine mayors of cities twice the size of Waterville. But more importantly, this case raises questions of who and what Wikipedia is for. As mayor of one of the largest cities in the state and vice chair of Maine's GOP, Isgro is an inherently important figure in the Maine political landscape. Failing to include him in Wikipedia would deprive readers interested in Maine politics of important information.OnAcademyStreet (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"The controversy around David Hogg" just makes him a WP:BLP1E, and being vice-chair of a state political party counts for exactly jackspit against our notability criteria in the absence of enough reliable source coverage about his work in that role to get him over WP:GNG for it. Our job here is not to keep articles about people who can't be properly sourced as notable just because one random anonymous internet person thinks they're important — our job is to follow the media coverage, create articles about people who get enough media coverage to pass our notability standards, and not create articles about people who don't. The depth and range and volume of reliable source coverage in media is what tells us whether a person is actually "important" enough to have a Wikipedia article or not — nobody is ever so critically important for us to have an article about that we waive the sourcing requirements on the grounds that their importance somehow outweighs their inadequate sourceability. Bearcat (talk) 22:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – looks like a BLP1E situation. He is not notable other than for his reportedly inappropriate statements about David Hogg. Being the mayor of a small town does not usually constitute an encyclopedia article on Wikipedia automatically, like Bearcat stated. Fails first criteria of WP:GNG and fails criteria two of WP:NPOL. CookieMonster755 06:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Just because Waterville's last mayor ended up becoming governor does not make the office itself notable. Laurier Raymond and other mayors of Lewiston, despite their own "foot-in-mouth" moments, do not pass notability for those events. Normally, party insiders and apparatchiks don't meet notability standards. And despite being one of the "largest cities in the state" (and in that case, everything is relative), Waterville is not a city of global prominence where a mayor would be globally known (See Rudy Guiliani, John Tory, Rob Ford, etc.) Bkissin (talk) 19:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, the notability standards for mayors aren't as dependent on global city status as the notability standards for city councillors are. They do still require more substance and sourcing than this, certainly, but they aren't limited to cities of global prominence. Cities far outside that range can have articles about their mayors if we can write and source articles with some actual meat to them, even in cities where the city councillors aren't getting in the door. Bearcat (talk) 23:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Just to be clear, from its creation in 2005 the article was always only about the Canadian company until just 12 days ago, when somebody added the Australian lobbying firm as brand new content that was never in the article before this year — but neither topic has the proper sourcing to support its notability per WP:CORP or WP:ORG, as the Canadian company cites no sources at all (and has never previously had any sources in it before) while the Australian firm cites only its own self-published primary sourcing. And I can't find solid sourcing on a ProQuest search to repair the Canadian company's notability, either — I get a lot of glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things (mainly political or social stories in which SC happens to have done some polling), but I can't find adequate coverage about SC as a subject. No prejudice against recreation if somebody can actually find the correct kind of sourcing to give one or the other of them much more depth than just a brief statement that it exists, but neither of these topics is cutting it under our notability and sourcing criteria as they actually stand.

  • Comment. This would seem to fall under WP:NOTSTATS, but I am not an "expert" in this subject. What I can glean from the content is that this is (apparently) a formal declaration made within the sport ("officially declared by race director as wet weather race") that has consequences for how the cars are outfitted (and I don't know what else), so it would seem that it is objectively verifiable. But I don't know what is gained by marking a history of how many and which races were held under this condition. Formula One#Race mentions "wet conditions" and links to this list but does not explain further. I don't know if the nom is being facetious with "windy weather races", but if that's also a possible declaration made by the "race director" then an overview in the parent article of all of the different such race conditions and their consequences would seem like the best way to cover this. postdlf (talk) 15:06, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. A wet race is definitely a thing within F1: declaration of a race as wet changes the regulations about which tyres can or must be used. Some F1 drivers are specifically known for their skill in the wet; they're called 'rainmasters'; among active drivers, the multi-World Champions Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, and relative newcomer Max Verstappen. It is not uncommon for one part of the track to be dry (tyres overheat and degrade) and another part wet (driving on a skidpan with zero visibility).
There is no such thing as a windy race.
I have no strong opinion on whether or not this article passes WP:GNG in its current form; but IMO it would pass GNG (under a better title, e.g. Formula One wet weather races) if it included a discussion of the topic in general, which should be easy to source. Narky Blert (talk) 15:46, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. A wet weather race is very important parameter of F1. Race. It is important for statistics, race conditions. Wet weather also changing the regulation of race. Some of the drivers are real specialist for wet races. Windy races has no real influence for motor racing, but rain so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brankom (talkcontribs) 16:09, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is pure trivia. People have to start remembering that Wikipedia is a general purpose wikipedia and not a fansite for motorsports enthusiasts (let alone F1 specific fans). Whatever is worth mentioning about wet weather racing can be mentioned in the general article on Formula One.Tvx1 20:24, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I agree with the points raised by Narky Blert. The page would pass under a better title, but would also require elaboration, perhaps summarising the significance of the difference of wet conditions in Formula One. Clearly it is more significant than a 'windy race', and there is certainly something to be said about drivers known for their wet-weather ability. I think this may be an example where expanding or improving the article could render it worthy of keeping. Formulaonewiki (talk) 22:36, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Further to my previous comment, I thought I might elaborate on potential additional sections which could make this article worthy of keeping:
  • Wet-weather conditions: Explain the difference this has (the use of wet tyres, how this removes need to run mandatory tyre, potential strategy implications etc.)
  • List of wet weather races by circuit/Grand Prix: Are there circuits that have been wet-weather races more often than others? Perhaps a table with the most frequent wet-weather races would provide more insight than just the big table of all wet-weather races on its own.
  • Notable wet-weather races/performances: Some wet-weather races are obviously not particularly interesting and can be rather processional, but there have been several races made particularly unique due to the wet-weather such as Japan 1976, Spain 1996, Italy 2008, Silverstone 2008 or Canada 2011 where the weather has significantly impacted the race result or produced a memorable performance from some drivers, or in the case of Japan '76 where Lauda retired due to the conditions despite contesting the WDC with Hunt.
  • Rainmasters: Perhaps a brief section with a link to Rainmaster, which mentions Formula One drivers who have been described as a 'rainmaster' for their ability to drive in wet-weather conditions such as Gilles Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton etc.

  • Keep - Consensus, which is the primary deciding policy, wisely decided long ago that all rail stations are notable. This way thousands of editors don't waste time and energy fleshing out and debating the retention of articles on the tens of thousands of stations when editors efforts are much better spent on creating new articles and improving existing ones. For this and most stations, it's impossible for in depth coverage like extensive government reports and budgets to not exist. An article for such a station serving a town of over 60,000 (which this one does) in the UK or US would never even be considered for deletion even if there was zero coverage in the article.

It doesn't matter that Camp Awakening isn't mentioned in the article - the standard for deletion is what the article could be, not what it is. FOARP (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You say that "Camp Awakening" "basically is Kilcoo" and "coverage of one is coverage of the other" and therefore Kilcoo should be notable because Camp Awakening is notable. But the only references you provide to support what you say actually don't say anything of the sort. Camp Awakening is an entirely different organization - different people, different website. There is nothing in the Kilcoo article about this Camp and nothing in the Kilcoo website either. Notwitstanding that notability is not inherited, you are reaching a conclusion not supported from the cited sources. On its own merits, Kilcoo Camp fails the tests for notability. HighKing++ 12:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This reference calls Camp Awakening a "Camp within a camp" at Camp Kilcoo that "shares the facilities with mainstream campers" - i.e., they're the same thing. The separate camp you refer to is the girl's camp, which started involvement with Camp Awakening a number of years after the boy's camp. This reference states that "The program is divided into a boys camp and a girls camp — seven kids in each — with the boys staged out of Kilcoo Camp in Minden". The television coverage on Roger's TV linked above begins with a shot of the "Camp Kilcoo" sign and covers the camp. FOARP (talk) 16:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If we actually had an article about Camp Awakening, then this could be mentioned in and redirected there. But they're not the same thing for the purposes of establishing that Camp Kilcoo is notable enough for an article — Kilcoo is a camp facility, while Awakening is an organization that organizes a camping event held at Camp Kilcoo. But notability is not inherited, so the fact that a potentially more notable organization uses Kilcoo as a venue is not a notability freebie that exempts Kilcoo from having to have reliable source coverage about Kilcoo. This is the same as the reason why the camp facility where I used to do Boy Scouts camp in the summer is not automatically notable enough for a Wikipedia article just because the Boy Scouts themselves are — the camp isn't itself the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear a Wikipedia notability standard, and just because the camp's events included regional Boy Scout camp week doesn't make them the same thing as the Boy Scouts themselves.

  • KEEP WP:AUD is 1) only for organisations, 2) a guideline, 3) completely illogical garbage that should be deleted since, according to what it says, coverage in the media of Andorra is "national" and therefore good but coverage in the London media may be "local" and therefore insufficient. The relevant standard is WP:NFILM which two reviews meets, regardless of whether they are "local" (whatever this means) or not. I also see no sign here that the nom has done WP:BEFORE and I'm inclined to think they haven't because of the bit about "if that is the scale of the refs".

Het is een onafhankelijke vereniging zonder winstgevend doel die opgericht werd met het doel in de Antwerpse regio de traditie verder te zetten van een Jezuïtisch universitair project dat is toegespitst op thema's die bijzonder gestalte geven aan de christelijke levensvisie en op die manier dienstig is aan het geloof en cultuur en bijdraagt tot een rechtvaardiger samenleving.

  • Delete the meat of the article is in the first two sections, which contains a total of two sources. The third section, which does contains a large number of references, is just a list of the non-notable, routine activities of the article subject. That kind of information belongs on their web site and not here; it is promotion of the activities of the centre, rather than encyclopedic info. In addition, the lede description of the centre as "trying to keep alive" the old spirit and so on, is clearly memorializing and promotional in nature. I was going to say merge to the University of Antwerp, but that article already contains the information in the first two sections. Thus, this article brings to the encyclopedia nothing valuable, save a listing of its regular, non-notsbale academic activities. So, delete.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just to summarize the seminar section's listing of non-notable items:
  1. In 2003 UCSIA convened a seminar
  2. in 2005 the Centre organized a seminar
  3. In 2006 held a two-day workshop
  4. in 2007-8 they subsidized four visiting scholars
  5. in 2008 they held a conference
  6. in 2009 they focused on "The Redemptive Power of Humor in Religion", whatever that is. Not encyclopedic.
  7. in 2011 they sponsored a scholar to produce a book
  8. in 2012 a book had coeditors from the centre, and also another book on Sports Governance, Development and Corporate Responsibility
  9. in 2013 another book had coeditors form the centre
  10. in 2014 a seminar was held
  11. in 2015 and 2016, more coeditors (not publishing, mind you) of a couple books
  12. in 2016 they brough an author in to lecture, and ran a workshop
  13. a number of conferneces we co-sponsored, but that does not indicate that the conferences happened at the centre.
In sum, a very paltry list of routine academic, non-notable activities. As is evident, there is not much going on there to merit its notability as a centre... A "centre" that can only manage this many activities in thirteen years is pretty much a defunct centre.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:45, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not finding anything at all. The political party she co-chaired has apparently 1500 members. valereee (talk) 11:19, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Being co-chair of a minor political party is not an automatic inclusion freebie under WP:NPOL — it can get a person over the bar if they can be reliably sourced to enough media coverage about them to clear WP:GNG for it, but does not guarantee an article to every chair of every political party just because their existence technically verifies on the political party's self-published website. But two of the three footnotes here are primary sources, and the one that is real media is not journalism about her being co-chair of a political party, but just a self-submitted paid inclusion engagement announcement in the classifieds of her local hometown newspaper. None of this is the kind of sourcing we require to make a person notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and I'm not finding any evidence of anything better either.

Declined PROD. Original PROD reason from StraussInTheHouse was "Fails WP:NORG due to lack of multiple, sustained, significant coverage in independent, reliable sources."

Declined by Soman with comment "Held 4 seats in state legislature, thus easily passes minimum notability criteria for political parties. Lack of references is not, in itself, cause for deletion".

As we do not currently have an SNG for political parties that I am aware of, we default to NORG, which specifically mentions political parties. NORG requires significant coverage in independent sources, and if they do not exist for this minor splinter party (I didn't find any either), then we cannot maintain the article. ♠PMC(talk) 06:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: per my original rationale and PMC’s expansion on it. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 08:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - parties represented in legislatures are notable, and it is an established in-house practice not to delete articles on parties represented in legislatures. Article now sourced. When reflecting of NORG, it must be understood that the online media landscape in India (and in particular, in regards to regional media in a state like MP) looked very different in 1999 than 2019. Having a reliable source on the legislative representation ought to be sufficient for retaining the article, keeping in mind that the BSP split would have been well covered in regional, print media at the time. --Soman (talk) 09:40, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete agree with the nom that the subject failed WP:NORG, the article is completely based on WP:OR none of the 2 sources mentioned in the article mention what the article claims. Based on my own independent research on the subject, there is absolute lack of reliable sources about the subject. the WP:ORGCRITE is miles away from being met. Per NORG the subject needs significant coverage in "multiple" independent, reliable secondary sources. Soman please remember WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, you should not use information in the article as evidence to claim notability without verifying the information yourself and adding reliable third party sources to back up your claim. Assertion of notability lacking reliable sources that can prove WP:ORGCRITE is not helping the AfD discussion in any way.--DBigXray 13:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In your keep vote above, you have used the article as it stands right now as a basis. The subject right now, cannot even be verified, notability is far off. You stated "...represented in legislatures" can you provide a source that states the same ? I am aware of the source situation in India, I am equally aware of the promotional editing done by the members of the non notable political parties in the area. The article is "not" sourced right now, it has fake refs. I am willing to reconsider my delete vote, if we can find sources that can claim passing of WP:ORGCRITE, from what I searched, there isn't any. --DBigXray 19:40, 13 January 2019 (UTC) [Struck based on below 13:26, 14 January 2019 (UTC)][reply]
  • I'm not generally here to argue with people supporting my AfD nom, but the sources Soman added do support the facts in the article (do a Ctrl+F search for "Pragatisheel"). That being said, given that both are government reports and aren't even that in-depth, I still don't think they support the claim of notability under NORG. ♠PMC(talk) 04:10, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, in that, we fully agree. (Side note for anyone reading: the second source is actually worse than I thought. It only provides the names of the four people mentioned in the article and doesn't include any details about them or the party they split to form). ♠PMC(talk) 13:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This subject is already extensively covered between Yugoslav People's Army, Bosnian War, Prijedor ethnic cleansing, Bijeljina massacre, Siege of Sarajevo, 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in Tuzla, and to a lesser extent in other articles on related battles in the conflict, such as Battle of Kupres (1992). Moreover, RS cited by the article don't place any specific importance on the withdrawal of JNA forces as a holistic event, providing little motivation to further cover it as a subject in an article separate from Bosnian War and Yugoslav People's Army. Furthermore, this article omits mention of massacres conducted by JNA-controlled forces and of the JNA's role in starting the Siege of Sarajevo which would eventually become the longest-lasting siege of a capital city in modern history, as well as stating without citation that After Bosnia and Herzegovina gained independence the Yugoslav People's Army received orders from Belgrade to withdraw from the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and referring to what in the article Bosnian War is called a "kidnapping" of Alija Izetbegovic as an "arrest"; taken together, this leads me to believe that this article is essentially a POV fork of other articles on the Bosnian War. signed, Rosguill talk 01:17, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable, unverifiable article on an apparent field. Two major problems with keeping this article:

  1. Per WP:GEOLAND, named natural features may have articles if significant content has been written about them. I was not able to find any indication that this is the case with regards to this area, and since we only have an English name and not an Arabic one, our native-language search is hampered.
  2. As has been established in a number of recent AfDs, the Gazetteer of the United Arab Emirates is at best questionable (See Alexandermcnabb's commentary at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zidm), so sourcing an entry solely to it is a failure of WP:V. ♠PMC(talk) 05:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficiently notable. The book has a dismissive footnote from Leslie S. Klinger and is pooh-poohed by Duncan Wu (both cited in the current article) but otherwise only has fleeting mentions in RS.

  • Keep Not sure what a Fringe book is; books that relate to fringe topics are not excluded from Wikipedia. Publisher is established, author is academically sound, book has an ISBN number. Notability is a spectrum and the bar can be low. The authorship of Frankenstein has been debated since the book was written. While the view that Frankenstein was written by Shelley rather than Mary Shelley is not a mainstream view; it is a view and debated in Frankenstein Unbound by an academic. Such books, more of academic viewpoints, may not receive widespread support or reviews but given the publisher and author can be included in Wikipedia per our own guides. And believe me I don't like the idea that a book like Frankenstein attributed to a woman may have been written by her husband.Littleolive oil (talk) 16:39, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:NB: "For these reasons, most of the standards for mainstream books are inapplicable to the academic field because they would be too restrictive and would exclude articles on books that are worthy of notice..." and use "common sense" and there "will be exceptions—books that are notable despite not meeting these threshold standards—but good reasons for the notability of such books should be clear..." I look at the publisher's reputation, the academic training of the author, and the fact that the subject matter has been discussed since Frankenstein was first published and I have to put aside my own position and suggest the book is notable enough to include. And I don't see a good reason to not include. (We aren't short of space). I've seen many comments concerning this book that have to do with the position that the book is Fringe. Fringe does not apply to whether a topic can be included in Wikipedia in the case of books and given publisher and academic qualifications there is no reason think it applies here Littleolive oil (talk) 17:06, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Surely common sense dictates that a book which has garnered no significant attention by a guy who has garnered no significant attention on a fringe subject that nobody serious takes seriously ... is not worthy of an article. Let's go through the criterita that WP:NB suggests for academic books:
  • whether the book is published by an academic press - no
  • how widely the book is cited by other academic publications or in the media - hardly at all
  • the number of editions of the book - none since the first
  • whether one or more translations of the book have been published - no
  • how influential the book is considered to be in its specialty area - it is hardly cited
  • whether it is, or has been, taught, or required reading, in one or more reputable educational institutions - no
On every count, policy is guiding us to delete this article. Alexbrn (talk) 17:12, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But then again a topic that is once again being discussed with enough weight to interest a reputable publisher is of interest enough to be included here? That's also common sense? I am not suggesting this is a great academic work at this point simply that it meets a low threshold for inclusion. I refer back to my points above. (I haven't checked the institutions that are teaching Frankenstein so cannot comment on use for teaching). With not much more to say for my part; I have to rush off.

Rationale borrowed from my previous similar AfD of Keizaburō Saeki, which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos (no ping as he's no longer active) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hiroshi Nagae is also currently running.

To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE."

In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name. I have also checked the Japanese name. In this case I found no Google book results. He is absent from the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography as well as Photography in Japan 1853-1912. He is mentioned in Photography for Everyone, but only trivially. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it. I searched his Japanese name there and found nothing in any other article.

In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted.

  • Oh, hello? Narita isn't well known these days even among the (fairly high) number of 328.

I'd be surprised if anyone would bother to create an article about him, but stranger things have happened.

  • Oh, hello? Nagae isn't well known these days even among the (fairly high) number of 328. He's probably most noteworthy for a prewar project of photographing 国宝, national treasures. These are usually photographed in the most reverent way; and, given the ideological climate of the period in which Nagae did this, it's inconceivable that he'd have photographed them otherwise. If the photographs lack irreverence or originality, it's most unlikely that they'll cause a stir if republished or reexhibited.

WP:BLP of an actor, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, the notability test for an actor is not just the ability to nominally verify that he's had acting roles -- it's the ability to reliably source that his having of roles has led to his receiving distinctions, such as winning or getting nominated for a major acting award and/or receiving enough press coverage about his acting to clear WP:GNG. But the only reference here is a simple filmography list in an IMDb-like directory, not reliable source coverage about the subject. Bearcat (talk) 04:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I found a claim that he helped spark the wellness movement.[14] It also has a few other things that could at a stretch be considered notable; Healthy America Fitness Leaders Award; member of the board of trustees of the National Wellness Institute for over a decade. I am not seeing any indication that these achievements are particularly notable however. Considering this I expected to see a bit more in reliable sources. There is an article in Acta Salus Vitae, which is an obscure czech journal (the article is only cited once according to google scholar) that has a two paragraph section [15] and a reasonable mention in [this https://duepublico.uni-duisburg-essen.de/servlets/DerivateServlet/Derivate-35061/11_miller_1_05.pdf] (looks like a German open access publication). Overall not terribly overwhealming for some of the claims made. What all of these have in common, along with a recent story in The Christian post,[16] are mentions to his book High Level Wellness. So I would ideally say to redirect it to the book, but we don't have an article on that and even a loose google search[17] goes to other peoples writings on the subject, so not even sure that is as notable as suggested. For completeness there are very breif mentions in relation to other "gurus" in the Sydney Morning Herald[18] and New York Times Magazine.[19] AIRcorn (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond the multiple issues in the template, this is really a GNG. I even tried using my rudimentary Russian skills to find things—which, in an ironic twist—led me to the Russian page where she’s also being proposed for deletion. Trillfendi (talk) 19:40, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A directory-like listing on an unremarkable private company. Significant RS coverage to meet WP:CORPDEPTH not found; what comes up is passing mentions, routine notices and / or WP:SPIP. Created by Special:Contributions/Brahiim123 with no other contributions outside this topic. PROD removed by a user with two edits: Special:Contributions/Vance Carver. Does not meet WP:NCORP.
