Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM. The others are not noteworthy, apart from their appearance on ANTM, and have yet to establish themselves as leaders in their chosen profession. Consequently, I am nominating all but the top 3 finishers from the ANTM cycles for deletion. In time they may prove notable enough for an article in the encyclopedia but until then they are quite well represented at all the various ANTM articles and the ANTM dedicated wiki.

Drink me magazine

Drink me magazine (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

No notability established. At this point, notability would be almost impossible to establish, as the magazine's first issue isn't due out until August. Since it's not yet released, this article is almost certainly created by someone closely connected to the magazine, which leads to concerns of conflict of interest and using Wikipedia for advertising. The article also violates Wikipedia's policy regarding crystal ball information. While it may warrant an article in the future, if it becomes a successful and notable magazine, it does not meet the criteria for inclusion at this time.

  • Opinion there are definately significant problems with the articles as it is, most obviously the almost complete lack of sourcing (The fact that all the information pertains to living people making adequate sourcing all the more necessary). However the amount actors and directors are paid has probably been covered in reliable sources (like this one) and I think acceptable articles in the vein of List of highest-grossing films (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of highest-grossing films) could probably be written. If no one can improve the articles so that they meet our standards of verifiability and no original research I think they should be deleted with no prejudice against recreating once all the information has been reliably sourced. Guest9999 ( talk) 23:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - given the secrecy surrounding exact dollar amounts it is doubtful that proper sourcing is even possible. Also list serves very little purpose -- T- rex 02:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Exact dollar amounts are not needed for this. It can be reliable enough. The limitations ofthe sourcing merely have to be given, since we are concerned with verifiability only, not truth. Collecting publicly available figures is not OR. DGG ( talk) 03:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Article creator comment while the shooting of the film has not yet been started, it is almost certain that this film will come out eventually and its content/plot is already known. Halle Berry's pregnancy and its relation to the making of this film is also a notable story. Because racism/politics are involved, it will incite some considerable reaction. There is nothing wrong to prepare an article for such a film. Chimeric Glider ( talk) 01:08, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - per WP:NOTCRYSTAL, at this point it doesn't look as if the creation of this film is a sure thing -- T- rex 02:50, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Userfy Chimeric Glider, you can request that the article be userfied to your user space where it can be edited and copied back to article space once filming is confirmed by reliable sources. I know it doesn't seem to make sense to delete it since it'll probably get made, but that's policy's current threshold. Berry's pregnancy makes an interesting side note to the article, but it doesn't confer exceptional publicity and thus notability to the film before filming even begins. Toliar ( talk) 03:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM. The others are not noteworthy, apart from their appearance on ANTM, and have yet to establish themselves as leaders in their chosen profession. Consequently, I am nominating all but the top 3 finishers from the ANTM cycles for deletion. In time they may prove notable enough for an article in the encyclopedia but until then they are quite well represented at all the various ANTM articles and the ANTM dedicated wiki.

  • Keep per the other AFD and the fact that she was notable for her pageant participation prior to competing on ANTM. Although she never won a state title, she held numerous local titles and has competed in the Miss Texas USA, Miss Texas Teen USA & Miss California USA pageants, placing many times. As User:Blnguyen phrased it well previously, her notability is "due to a sum of multiple events which were partially notable". PageantUpdater talk • contribs 20:01, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Merely competing for a state title is not notable. No matter how many times she may have tied and failed, that's no more notable than failing once--notable quire something that is actually notable--being less than notable as any number of things makes one--less than notable. To take a more common sequence, a non-notable athlete who becomes an non-notable college teacher and then a losing political candidate remains non-notable, no matter how many professions he does not achieve success in. Otherwise anyone who kept shifting jobs would eventually become notable, even if we couldn't say at precisely what. DGG ( talk) 21:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

how can it be copyvio? Abstracting the material from their extensive web information isn't copyvio; if they do provide a simple list there, there's no copyright in this sort of a list--and if anyone thinks there is, all it takes is to reorganize it. DGG ( talk) 14:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This list for most universities will be extensive enough that it requires a separate list--there will usually be two of three lines of information worth including for each. since we are usually deleting articles on most individual campus buildings, itr makes it reasonable to provide for them here.

The Gamespot article contains 78 references to reliable sources to establish its notability. While this article certainly doesn't need as many as 78, it needs at least some to explain why other media think it's a noteworthy organisation. –  iride scent 18:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I think this is vital to the discussion. If it is notable, it should be kept. If it is not notable, it should not. As far as I can tell, the article contains no valid references, just links to top-level domains, blogs and a MySpace page. This discussion has nothing to do with how popular it is, or how well the article is written (as it can always be edited). Can anyone actually prove that that the topic is worthy of inclusion by Wikipedia policies? If not, either it must be deleted, or Wikipedia:Notability (web) rewritten.

well guess what? this article is an important piece of history with the recent news of plant closures to both the Transmission plant and lear plant (both of which this local represents). CAW Local 1973 will no longer exist. To add: regarding the sources, CAW Local 1973 is not a large local and is in a small town, thus there are not an overwhelming amount of sources. as to the credibility or notability, the sources used were some quotes from the CAW President and founding members of the local (who would know better). There is only so much research one can find in books. The deletion of this article is a grave mistake as it is going down in CAW's history as a strong local that has done it's job in looking out for wroker's rights and employment.

It's a middle school, I really don't think it and Tom Cruise left any lasting impressions on each other that serves to provide deeper insight in to the nature of one or the other. Notability is not inherited, the guy who cuts Bryan Adams's hair doesn't become a notable hairdresser by that fact alone, the guy that changes the oil in Elizabeth Manley's car doesn't become a notable mechanic.

The more I look into this, the more it seems that he wrote this article for Wikipedia, then tried to put his own copyright on the Wikipedia page, in order to claim ownership. I think this may just be a huge misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is, but probably isn't an actual copyright violation.

Most of them are from The Jerusalem Post. The autobiography bit was ill-advised, but that's no reason to delete the article. I suspect the addition of the copyright info in the edit summary was the author trying to say it was OK to use the info from his web site because he owned the copyright, not an attempt to claim ownership of the article.

This voice actress has been the subject of a long-term hoax and I feel I need to clarify this somewhat. It has a link to her IMDB page which suggests itself to be impressive until you look at the articles with closer scrutiny. Many of the entries are improbable (credits are listed for Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, in which the voices were synthesized), some are negligible even if true (Amy Rose never spoke in Sonic CD outside of a 'squeak' made when captured by Metal Sonic that could have easily been digitally generated), and others are downright impossible (Karin Kanzuki in Street Fighter Alpha 3 never spoke Engish). This hoax filmography seems to have been perpetrated by a crazed fan of hers (check out the message boards if you're curious, but only at your own risk). The few credits that I can confirm (she actually did voice Sophitia in "Soul Edge") lower her down to merely not a notable person. JuJube ( talk) 15:35, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Child actress that doesn't meet the WP:ENTERTAINER notability standard. Did not have multiple significant roles. brew crewer (yada, yada) 15:36, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Keep She has a large fan base, with multiple fan sites. She has appeared co-starring in The Happening, and having an important role in Crash. She will have a leading role in Universal Signs. I believe that meets the WP:ENTERTAINER standard. -- staka ( T ・ C) 16:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • A large fan base might satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER but that claim would require the verification from some sort of reliable source. But appearing in one film and having one semi-important role in another doesn't satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER. Future film roles are violative of WP:CRYSTAL. -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 16:35, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Not only one film, but many films, and in many television shows. Also, future film that has been completed and already has an official site doesn't violate WP:CRYSTAL (it can be verified). -- staka ( T ・ C) 16:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Did she have significant/important roles in multiple films or has she just appeared in multiple films? All I'm seeing is the latter. -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 16:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I stated earlier that she has co-starred in The Happening as a significant role, and having an important role in Crash. She will have a one of the leading, and important roles in Universal Signs. Isn't that three films that she has a significant or important role in? -- staka ( T ・ C) 16:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Please forgive my slight incivility, but you're exaggerating her roles. She did not "co-star" in The Happening (2008 film), she had role. Neither did she have a significant role in Crash (film), she had a role. As for Universal Signs, there's no Wikipedia article on the film and her role in the film or the film's notability has yet to be established. -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 17:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I thought she did co-star in The Happening but I guess not. She was one of the four main character in the film getting me to believe that she co-starred. As for the film Crash, critics say she was "the heart and soul" which seems she had a significant role, and she did conclude the racism in the film. Her biography on TV.com (reliable, I don't know) states that Universal Signs was a 2007 film, and has no Wikipedia article so I believe that isn't a notable film, sorry about that. So she sort of has one or two notable films (and one in unnotable film), so it does not meet the WP:ENTERTAINER.. -- staka ( T ・ C) 17:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep Assuming the IMDB entries aren't falsified, She's got plenty of appearances for her age, indicating an ongoing career and large potential for expansion. I can't see WP:ENTERTAINER intending this to be deleted. Jclemens ( talk) 18:14, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I made three assertions, only the last of which is remotely WP:CRYSTAL--either of the other two are sufficient on their own: 1) She doesn't fail WP:ENTERTAINER--As I read it, it doesn't require multiple, significant roles. If that's what it's supposed to mean, it should say it. It says "Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." From what IMDB says, she's certainly been featured multiple times in notable film and television shows. Full stop. Granted 'The IMDb should only be used as a tertiary source for "hard data" on released films. However, if the IMDb is found to contradict another source that meets WP:V (preferably a primary or secondary one), then that source should be considered to trump the IMDb.' So, if anything contradicts her IMDB credits, they should be considred unreliable. I'm not seeing any assertion so far that those credits are inflated or erroneous, however. 2) In the absence of an impeachment of the IMDB record, her career to date is larger than what's in the article, satisfying WP:POTENTIAL simply by documenting the IMDB-referenced appearances, see also WP:DEMOLISH, and 3) in a longer term, there is FURTHER potential for growth-- WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply, since she already has plenty documented appearances; this just further reinforces my opinion that notability, while not temporary, can only increase with respect to this young actress. That is, I give her more benefit of the doubt as a living and working entertainer who has a demonstrated potential for future contributions, than I do for a dead entertainer whose contributions cannot possibly expand in the future.

Comment There's a very good criteria that can be specified. But specifying it could be construed as uncivil towards the nominator. -- Firefly322 ( talk) 00:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
I happen to know the nominator very well and I'm very sure he won't get insulted. In addition, if it truly fits under one of the criteria, incivility should not stand in the way of the correct application of Wikipedia's policies. -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 00:42, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
I think the fly is just avoiding the fact that there is no such criterion. In fact, number one explicitly states, "No-one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted." However, someone else already argued for deletion. -- Ave Caesar ( talk) 02:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

The movie sites are neither secondary ( WP:BIO) nor reliable ( WP:RS). -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 21:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Please elaborate on why the official movie sites (references, not external links) are neither sufficiently secondary or reliable. I genuinely do not understand why you don't believe the criteria to have been met. If film credits, primary sources, can be cited, why can the official movie sites not be cited? There's nothing particularly negative or controversial about asserting that she appeared in such-and-such a movie. Jclemens ( talk) 22:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Generally, to meet notability, the notability needs to be through independent third-party reliable sources. And given that she is being mentioned in moview reviews and in fact is being singled out for bad acting in this review, there certainly appears to be abundant independent reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq ( talk) 19:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
That makes sense, but the assertion was that they weren't reliable, not that they didn't establish notability. I would expect a movie's official website to be a reliable source for the content of the movie (actors, etc.), but insufficient to estabish notability. The assertion that the official site wasn't reliable threw me a curve ball. Jclemens ( talk) 19:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM.

  • Delete or merge: this seems to be another in a long line of 'vanity' conferences/summits/organisations/etc that Moon and the Unification Church has put together.

  • Keep These conferences took place in the 1970s and 80s and were widely reported by the news media at the time, which was before the Internet. Here is a Yahoo search for the exact words, "International Conference on for the Unity of the Sciences": [5] As I said on the article's talk page, I'm in the process of finding more sources now.

My bad. It helps to get the name right. Here is the Yahoo search for "International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences" [6].
  • Keep: These conferences attracted top scientists, including nobel laureates. I have just restored and added sourced material referencing this, which goes to notability. Steve Dufour promised on the article's talk page on 13 June 2008 to add other such material as soon as his Amazon order arrives. The nominator for AfD of this article either didn't read this on the article's talk page, or decided to nominate it anyway, for whatever reason. In any case the AfD is premature. I am a critic of the Unification Church, and Hrafn is right that there are a number of Unification articles on Wikipedia that should be deleted or merged, but this is not one of them. Just have some patience and wait until sources can be found. - Exucmember ( talk) 20:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as I said in declining an earlier prod on this article, "Moonie offshoot though it may be, it's notable" Obviously, there will be NPOV issues involved in an article on this, and possible blp issues involved in characterising the nature of any individual's participation. But we can deal with them through the ordinary editing processes. DGG ( talk) 01:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: claims of notability to date appear to be either by bare assertion (DGG), name-dropping (Exucmember) -- but notability isn't transitive, or by search results (Steve Dufour) which yield (in their first page) 7 ICUS/UC-linked pages, the wikipedia article itself and 2 sites selling a book published by the ICUS -- hardly evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (per WP:NOTE). I would wish to see evidence of said significant coverage before I would agree that notability has been established. Hrafn Talk Stalk 05:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC) Can anybody provide verifiable evidence that they "were widely reported by the news media at the time", or point to any of "the sources in the article" that come even close to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"?

    Comment - I concur with the delete stance (see below), but please confine comments to the content. Notability is determined without regard to the motivations and approach of any individual author. Also, WP:COI does not automatically exist just because the author is related to the subject. It is the nature of the edits themselves, not the position of the author, that determines COI.  Frank  |  talk  21:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Lete, de Lete (I apologize, couldn't resist) In addition to the likely WP:COI problems and lack of evidence of meeting WP:BIO by using independent reliable assertions to enable verifiability of notability, the article itself would need a complete organization to make it encyclopedic.

  • neutral Whilst he doesn't quite meet the requirements of WP:athlete, he is getting some secondary coverage. According to Tennessean.com, he has been named the The Tennessean 2007 All-Midstate Baseball Player of the Year. There is a link on this page that implies that he is the 2006/7 Male Athelete of the Year for On The Ball Magazine. However, I cannot get that link to open.

Nobody is arguing here that "it didn't take place". If there are "many, many articles" in the newspapers, as you say, then you can add references to them to the WP article.

  • Delete per WP:N and WP:SPAM According to history of this article, it was copied from a previously deleted article on July 8, 2007. Its most certainly advertising. A company officer placed this ad on this article's talk page here titled 'Dear Wiki Users.' How sneaky and brazen is that? Artene50 ( talk) 10:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep - So what if the article was re-created from a deleted article? I was the one who wrote the original article, and halfway through drafting it, someone speedily deleted it because it wasn't notable. Gee, I hadn't even finished writing it. Just because it was deleted does not mean it is spam.

- I would suggest the company and some mention of it's products is notable, despite a lack of secondary sources at this time. The company provides employment to more than 125 people, and it's products are installed on all inhabited continents. As a company it is not significantly more or less notable than Aastra_Technologies. - Regarding the alleged 'sneaky and brazen' spam by company employees, rather than deleting the article, why not contact the offenders and educate them? I have recently done so, and suggested that instead of placing marketing material on the wiki, they place simple factual information about the company, and a light overview of it's products, and if people are interested commercially, to then allow them to view the company's website and see the marketing speak for themselves. They have followed my advice on this. If I am wrong, why not email them yourself and provide more correct advice? Karl2620 ( talk) 11:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

It is indeed sneaky and brazen to post advertising on any article's talkpage on Wikipedia...and contacting an employee of this company only alerts them that their spamming is effective. WP:SPAM is not acceptable under any guise. Artene50 ( talk) 07:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Why is the debate for deletion of the page focusing on the behaviour of the company being described? I would suggest the company's behaviour, whilst certainly is in part spam, is mostly complete stupidity through ignorance. But that's not what is being discussed here.

Contacting a contributor with a genuine attempt at education is somehow a bad thing?? A careful examination of the history brings one to the conclusion that the nomination is a result of the frustration of one editor who kept having content reverted, and without contacting or otherwise attempting to educate the offending contributors, has instead nominated the page for deletion. Why not instead let's look at the content? Maybe this revision here which was just prior to the unwashed at Epygi contributing to the article fits in with content guidelines a bit better? Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.... Karl2620 ( talk) 13:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Discussions of editor education and specific edits aside, it looks like other stuff exists is the primary (or maybe only) reason being advanced to keep this article. That seems to be trying to gloss over the appearance that the company is really not so notable: "[t]rivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." I'm always willing to support an article if it can be shown there's a reason to keep it, but...I don't see it here.

No prejudice against properly recreating whenever significant coverage specifically for the final can be found, and the parent article UEFA Euro 2008 would then become overlong, so that splitting would be justified. dorftrottel ( talk) 05:45, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, it will be expanded in the coming month, would be very unnecessary to delete and re-create, UEFA Euro 2004 Final exists, and I'm sure all other Euro finals are planned to be made... World Cup, UEFA Cup, Champions League Final articles exist as well and all the tournaments are in the same category of importance, i would asume. ← chan dler 05:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Even if the match is never played, it would be useful to keep the article if only to explain why the match was never played. As it stands, the article is about the biggest match of the 2008 football calendar and I see no reason to delete it. I could even find you a few references if you want. – Pee Jay 08:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep. Surely you jest. Well beyond the requirements of WP:CRYSTAL. We know when it will be played - down to the minute of kick-off. We know where it will be played. We know it is the culmination of a competition currently in progress. We know for certain that this article will be needed within a couple of weels, and we already have enough information for the article to have been started. It already has viable encyclopedic content, and it will soon get more. To delete it now would simply be a waste of everyone's time - a bit like this afd.

  • No, I don't 'jest'. There is no information that merits an article split. It's idiotic to preemptively create article pages for upcoming events when there is no content that justifies a separate article. dorftrottel ( talk) 10:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as its pointless to delete the article for two weeks and recreate it then (as the final very definitely will deserve it's own article). It probably was unnecessary to create this article yet but deleting the article for such a short period is needless. Anyway strictly speaking it does meet WP:CRYSTAL - (almost) certain to take place and with verifiable information on the location and time of the final.

List of types of spiders

List of types of spiders (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

The article is misnamed as listing "types" - as Biological type is a different idea. If the list intends to be of species, then this may be a little too large. If it is a family level introduction - then there is already a suitable article at Spider taxonomy. Shyamal ( talk) 03:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Additional note. The possible interpretations of this article lead to a duplication of content that belongs either in Spider or Spider taxonomy, both of which are fairly well defined. Also see the role of Category:Lists_of_spider_species for structured lists or indexes to species articles. Please also see Wikipedia:Content forking. Shyamal ( talk) 16:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy Keep The nomination and comments above indicate that this discussion belongs on the article's talk page, not here. If there's a problem with the title, then this is changed by a move, not by deletion. If the article is incomplete then we work on completing it. If the material is better elsewhere then we merge it. Not a single valid reason has been provided for deletion. And a look at the horrid alternative of Spider taxonomy indicates that allowing specialists to own this topic would be a mistake. Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia and we all have some interest in spiders. Colonel Warden ( talk) 07:36, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Agree with the first four point. The problem is just that the title is unclear as to the subject covered, so no one can really fill the contents or retitle it when the aim is unclear. As for merge, there is little substance here that is salvageable for use for instance in " spider" and this was discussed on the talk page and this has under a proposed deletion tag for almost a week. As for the last bit - I agree with your view that the article on Spider taxonomy is not very well written and accessible as it stands. but that can definitely be improved. Shyamal ( talk) 08:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The idea is not bad, but yes it should be renamed and reworked extensively. Spiders are notoriously hard to identify for laypeople (with many not even realizing they're not insects...), so grouping them into phenotypes or such could be helpful for some. I don't like the first part of Spider taxonomy either (but i do like the table at the end, which i created ;); it looks like somebody started it half-heartedly and then abandoned it. suggestions: not a list, some 'splaining text is needed (for example to point out that orb web spiders are not a monophyletic group; Nephila is not Araneidae, and the totally unrelated hackled orb weavers ( Uloboridae also construct orb webs). hmm, the very interesting Deinopidae do not occur anywhere. ah, look what i've found: Identifying spiders, another one of p0m's abandoned pages. if somebody wants to merge the two pages, and really work on it, be my guest :) -- Sarefo ( talk) 11:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Renamed to what ? I suggest that it is going to be Spider taxonomy again or it is a section within spider - and there is nothing much to take from this article into the new location, nor much reason to add a redirect. Hence this AfD, which really is a last resort, one that should not hurt anyone. Shyamal ( talk) 15:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - well "type" may be misused in the biological sense it is used properly in the more common sense of the word. Rename if that is really a problem -- T- rex 15:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, the notion that laypeople need a "how to" guide to ID spiders by type, which this article seems to be inventing, is flawed. An encyclopedia should not "dumb down" content, for that is how we all stay dumb. Fails WP:No original research. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 05:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep good idea to have a non-technical page. This will when done right resemble a taxonomic key, a perfectly acceptable nontechnical type of publication which divides things up in any convenient way, and helps people name the species they have in mind. Scientists use them too for practical work. DGG ( talk) 01:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
There is something like that out here [16]. The other Identifying spiders article also points now to spider taxonomy- . If taxonomy is sounding too complex, that article could well be renamed as "spider classification". Shyamal ( talk) 02:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

It seems that the common theme - lack of reliable sources to demonstrate ccmpliance with WP:BIO - is also true here. In the case of this article, it also appears that it was written by someone with a conflict of interest as some of the prose seems less-than-NPOV and in the viewpoint of one of his devotees.

The result was technical keep. It seems to be the consensus of those involved that it is too early to consider this topic again since the closure of the last AfD. I am noting that this is a technical keep rather than an outright keep closure so as not to create the impression that the content itself is being endorsed by this discussion. I would suggest the nominator refrain from bringing this up for a little while - even no consensus closures require more than a few days to cool off before dragging the article through AfD again.

Non notable. The main reference for this article is provided from a chapter in a book on ISKCON called The Hare Krishna Movement. This chapter, "Routinization of Charisma," is just one chapter in this book - and it is about ISKCON and Bhaktivedanta Narayana is mentioned concerning his relationship with ISKCON (for a specific period of time).

  • New information The main reference for this article, "The Routinization of Charisma and the Charismatic: The confrontation between ISKCON and Nayayana Maharaja," is a chapter in a book on ISKCON. This chapter is written by a person, who according to the contributors notes on page X is, "associated with the organization of Narayana Maharaja." This person Irvin H. Collins, authors the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject. Per Basic criteria - "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." Irvin H. Collins is, "associated with the organization of Narayana Maharaja." As this is the only source that is concerned with Bhaktivedanta Narayana, he is not the subject of secondary sources "independent of the subject." Presently there are no reliable sources for this article, and the information about him does not even state how he is notable. The article is about a non notable and has no reliable sources. Thanks.

A fine example of POV pushing if I ever saw one. "the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject"? Really?! "the only reference in the article"? What about the other reference listed in the article, the book "The Hare Krishna Movement: Forty Years of Chant and Change" by Graham Dwyer (Editor), Richard J. Cole (Editor), available at Barnes&Noble? The book is also cited in the article and it has a chapter about Bhaktivedanta Narayana written by Richard Cole. This chapter is partially available for preview at googlebooks: [17]. A cursory look at this preview shows that it provides in-depth coverage of the subject. Nsk92 ( talk) 05:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
One more comment on your "has no reliable sources" claim. Apart from the book by Dwyer and Cole, even if what you say about the chapter in the other book cited in the article The Hare Krishna Movement: The Postcharismatic Fate of a Religious by Edwin Bryant, Maria Ekstrand is correct, the Bryant-Ekstrand book is still a reliable source that is fine as a primary source. The book is published by Columbia University Press and is edited by two independent academics, see the publication notes atBarnes&Nobles: [18]. Even if Collins' chapter in that book does not go towards establishing notability of the subject (if your claims about Collins are correct, and I'd like for someone else with access to the book to verify that), the book and the chapter still qualify as a reliable source, per WP:RS. Nsk92 ( talk) 05:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Nsk92, I disagree with your position here, if I understand it correctly. Ism schism's statements about Collins are correct, see [19]. But as I wrote below, do we demand that biographers of rabbis be catholics? Bryant, Ekstrand Columbia University Press and E. B. Rochford below consider Collins to be reliable and independent enough scholarship. That's more than enough to satisfy the guideline, and there are the other sources I gave below, one of which, www.vnn.org, was recently removed from the article by IS. John Z ( talk) 06:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The author of the first reference is a former ISKCON devotee who is now a member of Bhaktivedanta Narayana's organization. This is not an independent sources. Aside from this, the second reference concerns a chapter in a book on ISKCON, of which two pages mention Bhaktivedanta Narayana. There are no other independent sources to confirm notability or independent perpective. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 05:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Concerning references cited In the above texts you cited, Bhaktivedanta is not the subject of discussion. ISKCON is the subject of discussion. Aside from the article I discussed above, of which the primary one is written by an associate of Bhaktivedanta Narayana, there is the book by Dwyer and Cole. In this text - Bhaktivedanta Narayana is only discussed in pages 37 through 39. Two pages are not enough to establish notablity. I do not understand how questioning two pages is as you say, "POV pushing." Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 05:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
(Edit conflict, so I repeat some of Nsk92's points) Some of your above statements are not correct. The Collins article is not the only clearly high-quality RS source being used in our article, as you seemed to realize during the last AfD, when you said "These are two sources," - the other one having been The Hare Krishna Movement: Forty Years of Chant And Change. That the book with Collins' article was published by a major university press is sufficient guarantee of independence. The guideline does not demand that biographies of rabbis be written by christians. The introduction to this CU Press volume, not written by Collins, notes that the schism with Bhaktivedanta Narayana was the "most recent and divisive." - more argument for his notability, as are passing mentions in the book by other authors. There seems nothing wrong with using the bio at www.vnn.org to show notability and as a source, or even purebhakti.com as additional source to help write the article. The proper course is to make sure the article is not a puff piece mindlessly praising him, not to eliminate a clearly quite notable subject and sourced and uncontentious material about him. If there are genuine concerns about the reliability of a source, I suggest taking the matter up at WP:RS/N. Yet other unimpeachable sources are Hare Krishna Transformed By E. Burke Rochford, from NYU Press, with a couple of relevant pages, or The Hindu World By Sushil Mittal, G. R. Thursby, from Routledge, a single volume reference on all of Hinduism, relevant page not viewable online. Again, this article should be speedily kept, per the many arguments of the many different experienced editors in the three AfDs. This is not a close call. John Z ( talk) 05:59, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The above sources only discuss Bhaktivedanta Narayana's relationship with ISKCON. Also, the first source is written by a non notable author/devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana Irvin H. Collins. The second source only mentions him in a few pages out of many hundreds of pages devoted to its subject, ISKCON pages 37 through 39. Other self published materials can be useful but are not reliable sources for establishing notabilty. In all, Bhaktivedanta Narayana is not the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 06:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
See, that is what I meant by POV pushing. First you claiming that "the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject"? when in fact there are two and then you claim that the article has "has no reliable sources" when again in fact there are two. The book of Dwyer and Cole has a section (pages 37-39, as you say) that is entitled "Narayana Maharaja". This section, yes, only two pages long, provides in-depth and specific coverage of Bhaktivedanta Narayana. Whether or not this is enough to establish notability is a separate question, but there is no doubt that the Dwyer and Cole book is a secondary reliable source which contains in-depth coverage of the subject. Nsk92 ( talk) 06:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I respect your enthusiasm for the subject, but being mentioned in a book for two pages does not amount to a reference that establishes notability. Also, a chapter in a book, written about ISKCON's relationship with Bhaktivedant Narayana, by a devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana, is a very weak arguement for notability. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 06:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
I have no enthusiasm or interest in the subject. Like JohnZ, I picked this AfD at random, during an hour when I had time to look at the AfD listings. And I agree with JohnZ that this one is not even a close call. Nsk92 ( talk) 06:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
NSK, I replied to some of your comments above; I disagree on one point. Ism Schism, as I said at the last AfD, your interpretation of the guidelines are nonstandard, and illogically restrictive. If one eliminates everything notable about a person, like their relationships with other notable subjects, then of course one is left with nothing. But that is not an argument, but a useless observation. The scholarly world considers Bhaktivedanta Narayana notable, and thus so do we. The demand that the authors of articles on him be notable is new and has nothing to do with Wikipedia policies. What you are calling self-published does not appear to be that; finally I gave several more unimpeachable scholarly sources above. I and I daresay most of the other experienced "keep" editors have no enthusiasm for Bhaktivedanta Narayana, but much for WIkipedia policy and rational argument. Personally I just picked this AfD at random. The arguments for keeping and notability are very strong; tens of thousands of articles would be deleted if rules were interpreted the way you seem to understand them. John Z ( talk) 06:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Reply to John Z/Nsk92 - Stated above... "The scholarly world considers Bhaktivedanta Narayana notable," - please offer some references for this. Aside from a two page mention, and an article written by one of his devotees concerning his relationship with ISKCON, there is very little evidence to suggest that this subject is notable. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 06:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Notability for the subject has not been established. An occassional mention as Ism schism says is not enough. Gizza Discuss © 07:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Have you read all the above? What Ism says is hard to reconcile with policy and usual practice. Ism, have you looked at all the refs? There is far, far more than occasional mentions - a chapter in a book, a subtitled subchapter in another book, a bio at a news site, mentions on a couple of pages in a couple of other scholarly books. And these are only the quite high quality sources. A general one volume, very scholarly treatise on all of Hinduism, an enormous subject, sees fit to mention him. This is a great deal of evidence for notability by usual standards. John Z ( talk) 08:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Yes John Z, I have read all of the above. I read everything again and looked through the article and its reference a second time and my opinion hasn't changed. You may be correct that my and Ism's general standards about notability are much stricter than yours in which case we are relatively more deletionist than you are. Gizza Discuss © 09:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Well, I apologize for assuming differently. (This is Ism's 3rd AfD nom for this, BTW, there's more in the others and that he excised from the article, IMHO incorrectly.) But this standard seems far more deletionist than usual at AfD. How many peer reviewed, academic press, scholarly references, which IMHO cannot reasonably be called passing mentions, on a subject are necessary?! I have no idea how one can reasonably dispute the statement that academia considers him notable. John Z ( talk) 10:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The reason why I dispute the statement that academia considers him notable is that Bhaktivedanta Narayana is not "the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject." If there were academic articles written about him by scholars, and/or academic writtings in which Bhaktivedanta Narayana is the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject, then there would be reason believe that academia considers him notable. What is offered as the first source is a lone chapter in a book. This chapter is written by a non notable author/devotee (and I say this because the author is not a religious studies scholar but an elementary school teacher that is a devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana) Irvin H. Collins. The second source only mentions Bhaktivedanta Narayana in a few pages out of many hundreds of pages devoted to its subject, ISKCON, please see pages 37 through 39. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 12:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Well, by usual standards, "just pp 37-39" (which are subtitled Narayana Maharaja) is more than enough for one RS. A "lone chapter in a book" is much, much more than enough. Look at other AfDs. Collins counts and is independent because it is in an academic book, because of the editors and the press. There are the two other academic works I cited above, one a general work on all of Hinduism!, and www.vnn.org with a short biography, which satisfy the conditions. There's also this article, The Perils of Succession: Heresies of Authority and Continuity In the Hare Krishna Movement in the ISKCON Communications Journal, which had been presented to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion, and which covers him in several paragraphs under the heading The Rasika-bhakti Heresy. That's 5 scholarly sources and one news source. Finally, it should be speedily kept because this 3rd AfD was started only 4 days after the 2nd, with very little new argument; this is not the normal or proper procedure. John Z ( talk) 16:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The Rasika-bhakti Heresy is discussed in The Perils of Succession: Heresies of Authority and Continuity In the Hare Krishna Movement. Bhaktivedant Narayana's relationship with ISKCON is noted as being part of the "Rasika-Bhakti Heresy." Once again the subject of the article is ISKCON. A part of this paper notes Bhaktivedanta Narayana's relationship with ISKCON - and he is not the subject of this work. He is mentioned in the article as part of one of many "heresies" in ISKCON. None of the above sources are concerned with Bhaktivedanta Narayana as a subject of himself. No scholarly studies of books or academic essays consider Bhativedanta Narayana notable outside of his relationship with ISKCON. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Rename - this article does have sufficient references to stay, however it should be renamed to reflect the concerns with the notability being a 'reflected notability'. I suggest that the name of the article should reflect an obvious conclusion of the previous AfD(2). It should not be a biography, but really an article on Bhaktivedanta Narayana Movement or History of Bhaktivedanta Narayana Schism - which will reflect the subject's notability in as per good RS quoted. After all its not that you can write just about anything in Wiki and especially considering this is WP:BLP - one must be very careful and at the same time one should not use notability of one subject to automatically support a notability of another subject. As the last comment on the articles talk page by ISKCON article editor - It hardly can be placed as a part of the ISKCON article or merged into it - and I agree - it will be UNDUE, but maybe after its renamed it can have a WP:SS section in it, if editors of the ISKCON article agree. If not renamed I would support merge into Gaudiya Matha article. Wikidās ॐ 17:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Since it was me who introduced reliable references into this article, if article is renamed I would suggest adding Hare Krishna Transformed (The New and Alternative Religions Series) by E. Rochford ISBN 0814775799, pp. 170-171 - again in the context of it being a schismatic movement not being about B Narayana, maybe article can be deleted as our admin DaGizza suggests and a new article created instead on the topic? Wikidās ॐ 19:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • On merging and/or renaminging. Concerning a merge to Gaudiya Matha, was Bhaktivedanta Narayana a member of the Gaudiya Matha? I am open to this idea but he seems to have come after the Gaudiya Matha fell apart. Also, concerning renaming... As the references presently listed above are concerned with the subject of ISKCON (and its heresies and schisms) maybe a rename to History of Schisms in ISKCON. Bhaktivedanta Narayana is just not notable enough for a stand alone article, maybe this would be a way to salvage the information in the article. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I have to be very honest. At first AfD I have suggested WP:RS and inserted them in the article, but I could not find any reliable sources as to the biography of the WP:BLP. I made a mistake, as I was reminded on the number of occasions by other editors in different context. I have since improved somewhat. But this article does NOT reflect any reliable sources that are quoted in the article. Thus the sources can be used for other article, and this one to be deleted as all material for WP:BLP has to be carefully sourced. Because the material above is non-biographical I would suggest deleting at this stage, and only then creating of other article that reflects reliable sources. You are right, and Gaudiya Math did fell apart and this is not a material for that article. Wikidās ॐ 23:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • An example of how this could be done is the page on the Swaminarayan Faith. In this article the original group is mentioned, Swaminarayan Sampraday. This is followed by its major divisions since, with the analogous Swaminarayan Gadi. In a merge the original Gaudiya Matha could be discussed as it is in the article with a new section on present day communities that identify as being part of the Gaudiya Matha added for each one that has reliable sources.

Whose festivals are these, specifically? There should be some sourcing for a particular group of Sindhi festivals, but as to which ones should be included, I am not sure.

  • Yipe! If it's kept, it's in very dire need of an extreme rewrite (I added an {{Articleissues}} and stopped at just a handful of problems (if this is indeed a list of Sindhi festivals, it should be renamed to List of Shindhi Festivals per Wikipedia naming guidelines). If it can be verified using reliable sources (and one would think they would be rather easily found in a few Asian sites), then radically rewritten (in addition to what's on the tag, it's also written in the mode of a magazine or a personal essay), and then renamed, it would be worth keeping.

Xenonice implemented a redirect from HMS Ontario to HMS Ontario (1780) and merged the material. Obviously the merger was needed, but not obvious is that it should be located at 1780, in fact to me it seems obvious the HMS Ontario name with no 1780 should be used. See Talk:HMS Ontario (1780).
Someone else posted a stated conclusion to the AFD, to the Talk:HMS Ontario (1780) article, that the result was to "speedy redirect". I think this is not correct. It seems obvious to me that the correct name of the article is HMS Ontario, not HMS Ontario (1780), because there are no other HMS Ontario's known. And the discussion above was leaning toward doing the move in that direction. The consensus, if any, is to redirect from the 1780 article to the other one, which is how i "vote" anyhow.

Asheville Graduate Center

Asheville Graduate Center (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

According to the main university article, UNC Asheville has only 35 graduate students, and therefore I don't think this graduate center can ever be notable enough to support its own article, other than this page being a directory of courses which would not be acceptable per WP:NOT. Hippo ( talk) 00:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't see a claim of notability for the Center in the article; those editors who might come here to argue for keeping this article need to provide one. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 01:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Obviously you did not do ANY research other than just read the one article you linked above on the graduate school at the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA). I have no doubt that the UNCA “grad school” has ONLY 35 students - UNCA is a public "liberal arts" university - its lone master's degree is a liberal arts degree (nothing wrong with that, just not a lot of demand for it). This is the reason that the UNC board of trustees established the Asheville Graduate Center, to offer the residents of Asheville a greater variety of grad courses that UNCA is designed to offer.

If in fact you read the article on the Asheville Graduate Center, you would know it is not a part of the UNCA grad school; it is NOT a part of UNCA; it IS administrated by UNCA, and it utilizes faculties of the university. The other 5 UNC system participants, schedule, conduct, provide their own professors/instructors for the graduate degree programs offered at the AGC and confer degrees from their university for graduates (not degrees from UNCA). Currently, over 600 students are in degree programs at AGC in the 6 universities that participate in the AGC. http://www.unca.edu/agc/ Glovejr ( talk) 01:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I think it's reasonable to look at the main university page since the article did not assert anything beyond that. From the article it looks like a distance learning opportunity for UNCA students. Either way, while WP:WAX is not a good basis for an argument, I doubt it's notable enough as very few graduate schools in the world have their own pages on Wikipedia. Also please note WP:NPA. Hippo ( talk) 01:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Comment It is unfortunate that the TarHippo may have gotten some facts wrong, as it distracts us from the real problem; this Center doesn't seem to be notable. It is an adminstrative division of a larger entity, the University of North Carolina, current enrollment 183,000. Would an article on the University's Human Resources Division be appropriate for Wikipedia? No; the standard we use can be read at WP:ORG. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 01:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

You guys can do what you will about the article, delete it, or leave it. But, in my personal opinion, what good is a "pageless" encyclopdeia (one where page space is not at a premium and everything can be included) that deletes factual, current, accurate data about institutions? Rather than expanding knowledge, some seem intent on deleting infomation (i.e. deciding what is relevant) by utilizing Wikipedia guidance (in my again "opinion" mis-utilizing wikipedia guidance and rules). But, whatever the decision on the article..... have a nice day. Glovejr ( talk) 02:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM. The others are not noteworthy, apart from their appearance on ANTM, and have yet to establish themselves as leaders in their chosen profession. Consequently, I am nominating all but the top 3 finishers from the ANTM cycles for deletion. In time they may prove notable enough for an article in the encyclopedia but until then they are quite well represented at all the various ANTM articles and the ANTM dedicated wiki.

No notability established. At this point, notability would be almost impossible to establish, as the magazine's first issue isn't due out until August. Since it's not yet released, this article is almost certainly created by someone closely connected to the magazine, which leads to concerns of conflict of interest and using Wikipedia for advertising. The article also violates Wikipedia's policy regarding crystal ball information.

Explicitly fails future films notability guidelines. No prejudice towards recreation when the shooting can be reliably sourced to have already begun. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 22:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Article creator comment while the shooting of the film has not yet been started, it is almost certain that this film will come out eventually and its content/plot is already known. Halle Berry's pregnancy and its relation to the making of this film is also a notable story. Because racism/politics are involved, it will incite some considerable reaction. There is nothing wrong to prepare an article for such a film. Chimeric Glider ( talk) 01:08, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Userfy Chimeric Glider, you can request that the article be userfied to your user space where it can be edited and copied back to article space once filming is confirmed by reliable sources. I know it doesn't seem to make sense to delete it since it'll probably get made, but that's policy's current threshold. Berry's pregnancy makes an interesting side note to the article, but it doesn't confer exceptional publicity and thus notability to the film before filming even begins. Toliar ( talk) 03:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Okay, I guess the rule must be upheld, so I am going to put this in a user subpage and put it up when it meets the rule's criteria of inclusion. Regards. Chimeric Glider ( talk) 03:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Deleting this article will only create more work for the next person to work on an article on a Steve Herman.

The result was no consensus.

Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM.

At the moment, this article is pure advertorial. Its subject appears to meet the notability criteria, and the article is not quite blatant enough for {{ db-spam}} treatment, but it needs a substantial rewrite before it can meet the WP:NPOV and WP:V criteria. I'm listing it here in the hope that the original contributor, or someone else who cares deeply enough about the article's subject, will perform the necessary rewrite before this AfD expires.

Granted CCC is only half the size of those two, but it's still the third most visited out there, and the #1 choice for codes. Any kid between 10-18 who goes online and plays video games will know CCC.

I think this is vital to the discussion. If it is notable, it should be kept. If it is not notable, it should not. As far as I can tell, the article contains no valid references, just links to top-level domains, blogs and a MySpace page. This discussion has nothing to do with how popular it is, or how well the article is written (as it can always be edited).

Yeah, that may be technically true but most of those "references" are publications of CAW itself, so they aren't qualified as secondary sources as required by policy on reliable sources.

CAW Local 1973 will no longer exist. To add: regarding the sources, CAW Local 1973 is not a large local and is in a small town, thus there are not an overwhelming amount of sources. as to the credibility or notability, the sources used were some quotes from the CAW President and founding members of the local (who would know better). There is only so much research one can find in books. The deletion of this article is a grave mistake as it is going down in CAW's history as a strong local that has done it's job in looking out for wroker's rights and employment.

This voice actress has been the subject of a long-term hoax and I feel I need to clarify this somewhat. It has a link to her IMDB page which suggests itself to be impressive until you look at the articles with closer scrutiny. Many of the entries are improbable (credits are listed for Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, in which the voices were synthesized), some are negligible even if true (Amy Rose never spoke in Sonic CD outside of a 'squeak' made when captured by Metal Sonic that could have easily been digitally generated), and others are downright impossible (Karin Kanzuki in Street Fighter Alpha 3 never spoke Engish). This hoax filmography seems to have been perpetrated by a crazed fan of hers (check out the message boards if you're curious, but only at your own risk).

  • Please forgive my slight incivility, but you're exaggerating her roles. She did not "co-star" in The Happening (2008 film), she had role. Neither did she have a significant role in Crash (film), she had a role. As for Universal Signs, there's no Wikipedia article on the film and her role in the film or the film's notability has yet to be established. -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 17:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I thought she did co-star in The Happening but I guess not. She was one of the four main character in the film getting me to believe that she co-starred. As for the film Crash, critics say she was "the heart and soul" which seems she had a significant role, and she did conclude the racism in the film. Her biography on TV.com (reliable, I don't know) states that Universal Signs was a 2007 film, and has no Wikipedia article so I believe that isn't a notable film, sorry about that.

  • I made three assertions, only the last of which is remotely WP:CRYSTAL--either of the other two are sufficient on their own: 1) She doesn't fail WP:ENTERTAINER--As I read it, it doesn't require multiple, significant roles. If that's what it's supposed to mean, it should say it. It says "Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." From what IMDB says, she's certainly been featured multiple times in notable film and television shows. Full stop. Granted 'The IMDb should only be used as a tertiary source for "hard data" on released films. However, if the IMDb is found to contradict another source that meets WP:V (preferably a primary or secondary one), then that source should be considered to trump the IMDb.' So, if anything contradicts her IMDB credits, they should be considred unreliable. I'm not seeing any assertion so far that those credits are inflated or erroneous, however. 2) In the absence of an impeachment of the IMDB record, her career to date is larger than what's in the article, satisfying WP:POTENTIAL simply by documenting the IMDB-referenced appearances, see also WP:DEMOLISH, and 3) in a longer term, there is FURTHER potential for growth-- WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply, since she already has plenty documented appearances; this just further reinforces my opinion that notability, while not temporary, can only increase with respect to this young actress. That is, I give her more benefit of the doubt as a living and working entertainer who has a demonstrated potential for future contributions, than I do for a dead entertainer whose contributions cannot possibly expand in the future.

Added two official movie sites, one of which confirms IMDB on her other contributions, like Crash. Anyone desire more sourcing, or is this enough to meet WP:RS? Jclemens ( talk) 20:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The movie sites are neither secondary ( WP:BIO) nor reliable ( WP:RS). -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 21:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Please elaborate on why the official movie sites (references, not external links) are neither sufficiently secondary or reliable. I genuinely do not understand why you don't believe the criteria to have been met. If film credits, primary sources, can be cited, why can the official movie sites not be cited? There's nothing particularly negative or controversial about asserting that she appeared in such-and-such a movie. Jclemens ( talk) 22:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Generally, to meet notability, the notability needs to be through independent third-party reliable sources. And given that she is being mentioned in moview reviews and in fact is being singled out for bad acting in this review, there certainly appears to be abundant independent reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq ( talk) 19:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
That makes sense, but the assertion was that they weren't reliable, not that they didn't establish notability. I would expect a movie's official website to be a reliable source for the content of the movie (actors, etc.), but insufficient to estabish notability. The assertion that the official site wasn't reliable threw me a curve ball. Jclemens ( talk) 19:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - her acting career has named roles of sufficient signifigance that they appear in moview reviews such as this one from CNN. -- Whpq ( talk) 19:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Being part of the main cast of Happenings (which indeed sucks, but is one of the big movies this year) is enough to make her notable. -- lucasbfr talk 06:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep Any article whose subject has had 482 Google News hits in the past month is not difficult to source. An actress who plays a major role in one of the biggest movies of the year is, in my opinion, inherently notable. faithless (speak) 03:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM.

My bad. It helps to get the name right. Here is the Yahoo search for "International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences" [6].

  • Comment: claims of notability to date appear to be either by bare assertion (DGG), name-dropping (Exucmember) -- but notability isn't transitive, or by search results (Steve Dufour) which yield (in their first page) 7 ICUS/UC-linked pages, the wikipedia article itself and 2 sites selling a book published by the ICUS -- hardly evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (per WP:NOTE). I would wish to see evidence of said significant coverage before I would agree that notability has been established. Hrafn Talk Stalk 05:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC) Can anybody provide verifiable evidence that they "were widely reported by the news media at the time", or point to any of "the sources in the article" that come even close to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"?

    Comment - I concur with the delete stance (see below), but please confine comments to the content. Notability is determined without regard to the motivations and approach of any individual author. Also, WP:COI does not automatically exist just because the author is related to the subject.

  • Strong Keep - So what if the article was re-created from a deleted article? I was the one who wrote the original article, and halfway through drafting it, someone speedily deleted it because it wasn't notable. Gee, I hadn't even finished writing it. Just because it was deleted does not mean it is spam.

- I would suggest the company and some mention of it's products is notable, despite a lack of secondary sources at this time. The company provides employment to more than 125 people, and it's products are installed on all inhabited continents. As a company it is not significantly more or less notable than Aastra_Technologies. - Regarding the alleged 'sneaky and brazen' spam by company employees, rather than deleting the article, why not contact the offenders and educate them? I have recently done so, and suggested that instead of placing marketing material on the wiki, they place simple factual information about the company, and a light overview of it's products, and if people are interested commercially, to then allow them to view the company's website and see the marketing speak for themselves.

A careful examination of the history brings one to the conclusion that the nomination is a result of the frustration of one editor who kept having content reverted, and without contacting or otherwise attempting to educate the offending contributors, has instead nominated the page for deletion. Why not instead let's look at the content? Maybe this revision here which was just prior to the unwashed at Epygi contributing to the article fits in with content guidelines a bit better? Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.... Karl2620 ( talk) 13:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Discussions of editor education and specific edits aside, it looks like other stuff exists is the primary (or maybe only) reason being advanced to keep this article. That seems to be trying to gloss over the appearance that the company is really not so notable: "[t]rivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." I'm always willing to support an article if it can be shown there's a reason to keep it, but...I don't see it here. More independent sources (Infoworld reviews of one product aren't enough) would help.  Frank  |  talk  22:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC) reply

The article is misnamed as listing "types" - as Biological type is a different idea. If the list intends to be of species, then this may be a little too large.

Additional note. The possible interpretations of this article lead to a duplication of content that belongs either in Spider or Spider taxonomy, both of which are fairly well defined.

If there's a problem with the title, then this is changed by a move, not by deletion. If the article is incomplete then we work on completing it. If the material is better elsewhere then we merge it. Not a single valid reason has been provided for deletion. And a look at the horrid alternative of Spider taxonomy indicates that allowing specialists to own this topic would be a mistake. Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia and we all have some interest in spiders. Colonel Warden ( talk) 07:36, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Agree with the first four point. The problem is just that the title is unclear as to the subject covered, so no one can really fill the contents or retitle it when the aim is unclear. As for merge, there is little substance here that is salvageable for use for instance in " spider" and this was discussed on the talk page and this has under a proposed deletion tag for almost a week. As for the last bit - I agree with your view that the article on Spider taxonomy is not very well written and accessible as it stands. but that can definitely be improved. Shyamal ( talk) 08:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The idea is not bad, but yes it should be renamed and reworked extensively. Spiders are notoriously hard to identify for laypeople (with many not even realizing they're not insects...), so grouping them into phenotypes or such could be helpful for some. I don't like the first part of Spider taxonomy either (but i do like the table at the end, which i created ;); it looks like somebody started it half-heartedly and then abandoned it. suggestions: not a list, some 'splaining text is needed (for example to point out that orb web spiders are not a monophyletic group; Nephila is not Araneidae, and the totally unrelated hackled orb weavers ( Uloboridae also construct orb webs). hmm, the very interesting Deinopidae do not occur anywhere. ah, look what i've found: Identifying spiders, another one of p0m's abandoned pages. if somebody wants to merge the two pages, and really work on it, be my guest :) -- Sarefo ( talk) 11:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Renamed to what ? I suggest that it is going to be Spider taxonomy again or it is a section within spider - and there is nothing much to take from this article into the new location, nor much reason to add a redirect. Hence this AfD, which really is a last resort, one that should not hurt anyone. Shyamal ( talk) 15:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, the notion that laypeople need a "how to" guide to ID spiders by type, which this article seems to be inventing, is flawed.

  • Keep good idea to have a non-technical page.

Scientists use them too for practical work. DGG ( talk) 01:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

In the case of this article, it also appears that it was written by someone with a conflict of interest as some of the prose seems less-than-NPOV and in the viewpoint of one of his devotees.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was technical keep. It seems to be the consensus of those involved that it is too early to consider this topic again since the closure of the last AfD. I am noting that this is a technical keep rather than an outright keep closure so as not to create the impression that the content itself is being endorsed by this discussion. I would suggest the nominator refrain from bringing this up for a little while - even no consensus closures require more than a few days to cool off before dragging the article through AfD again.

Bhaktivedanta Narayana

AfDs for this article:
Bhaktivedanta Narayana (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Non notable. The main reference for this article is provided from a chapter in a book on ISKCON called The Hare Krishna Movement. This chapter, "Routinization of Charisma," is just one chapter in this book - and it is about ISKCON and Bhaktivedanta Narayana is mentioned concerning his relationship with ISKCON (for a specific period of time). References on this gentleman's relationship to ISKCON are not enough to establish notablity as long as the subject himself remains non notable. Assocication with a notable subject does not confer notablity. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 03:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

You also argued "The references in which the subject is mentioned, aside from the self published ones, are concerned with the subject of ISKCON. These texts are about ISKCON. In passing, there is mention of Bhaktivedanta Narayana and his relationship with ISKCON. If these references are accepted as reliable sources, then I can see how a Redirect or a Merge to the ISKCON page might be more appropriate. Thanks.

  • Note Per yesterday’s discussion… Three votes above are concerned with the process of deletion and are not immediately concerned with the subject’s notability. My intention in re-nominating this article is to attract more editors to this discussion – after a no consensus discussion. I apologize if I have offended any editor or caused any unnesessary harm, as this is not my intent. I will list this discussion in more deletion sorting pages that are relevant to hopefully include other editors. Also, I believe that future discussions should focus on the notability of the subject instead of voting on the process. This will assist editors in reaching a clear consensus on the notability of this subject. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 00:31, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
I don't know if you offended anyone (certainly not me), but renominating an article for an AfD only four days (!) after a 12-day long AfD discussion was closed is, in my opinion, abusing the process, regardless of your motives. You are not helping your case by doing this. If you think the previous AfD was closed incorrectly, you can file a WP:DRV case. Otherwise, give it a break for a while.

  • New information The main reference for this article, "The Routinization of Charisma and the Charismatic: The confrontation between ISKCON and Nayayana Maharaja," is a chapter in a book on ISKCON. This chapter is written by a person, who according to the contributors notes on page X is, "associated with the organization of Narayana Maharaja." This person Irvin H. Collins, authors the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject. Per Basic criteria - "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." Irvin H. Collins is, "associated with the organization of Narayana Maharaja." As this is the only source that is concerned with Bhaktivedanta Narayana, he is not the subject of secondary sources "independent of the subject." Presently there are no reliable sources for this article, and the information about him does not even state how he is notable. The article is about a non notable and has no reliable sources. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 01:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
A fine example of POV pushing if I ever saw one. "the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject"? Really?! "the only reference in the article"? What about the other reference listed in the article, the book "The Hare Krishna Movement: Forty Years of Chant and Change" by Graham Dwyer (Editor), Richard J. Cole (Editor), available at Barnes&Noble? The book is also cited in the article and it has a chapter about Bhaktivedanta Narayana written by Richard Cole. This chapter is partially available for preview at googlebooks: [17]. A cursory look at this preview shows that it provides in-depth coverage of the subject. Nsk92 ( talk) 05:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
One more comment on your "has no reliable sources" claim. Apart from the book by Dwyer and Cole, even if what you say about the chapter in the other book cited in the article The Hare Krishna Movement: The Postcharismatic Fate of a Religious by Edwin Bryant, Maria Ekstrand is correct, the Bryant-Ekstrand book is still a reliable source that is fine as a primary source. The book is published by Columbia University Press and is edited by two independent academics, see the publication notes atBarnes&Nobles: [18]. Even if Collins' chapter in that book does not go towards establishing notability of the subject (if your claims about Collins are correct, and I'd like for someone else with access to the book to verify that), the book and the chapter still qualify as a reliable source, per WP:RS. Nsk92 ( talk) 05:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Nsk92, I disagree with your position here, if I understand it correctly. Ism schism's statements about Collins are correct, see [19]. But as I wrote below, do we demand that biographers of rabbis be catholics? Bryant, Ekstrand Columbia University Press and E. B. Rochford below consider Collins to be reliable and independent enough scholarship. That's more than enough to satisfy the guideline, and there are the other sources I gave below, one of which, www.vnn.org, was recently removed from the article by IS. John Z ( talk) 06:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The author of the first reference is a former ISKCON devotee who is now a member of Bhaktivedanta Narayana's organization. This is not an independent sources. Aside from this, the second reference concerns a chapter in a book on ISKCON, of which two pages mention Bhaktivedanta Narayana. There are no other independent sources to confirm notability or independent perpective. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 05:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Concerning references cited In the above texts you cited, Bhaktivedanta is not the subject of discussion. ISKCON is the subject of discussion. Aside from the article I discussed above, of which the primary one is written by an associate of Bhaktivedanta Narayana, there is the book by Dwyer and Cole. In this text - Bhaktivedanta Narayana is only discussed in pages 37 through 39. Two pages are not enough to establish notablity. I do not understand how questioning two pages is as you say, "POV pushing." Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 05:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
(Edit conflict, so I repeat some of Nsk92's points) Some of your above statements are not correct. The Collins article is not the only clearly high-quality RS source being used in our article, as you seemed to realize during the last AfD, when you said "These are two sources," - the other one having been The Hare Krishna Movement: Forty Years of Chant And Change. That the book with Collins' article was published by a major university press is sufficient guarantee of independence. The guideline does not demand that biographies of rabbis be written by christians. The introduction to this CU Press volume, not written by Collins, notes that the schism with Bhaktivedanta Narayana was the "most recent and divisive." - more argument for his notability, as are passing mentions in the book by other authors. There seems nothing wrong with using the bio at www.vnn.org to show notability and as a source, or even purebhakti.com as additional source to help write the article. The proper course is to make sure the article is not a puff piece mindlessly praising him, not to eliminate a clearly quite notable subject and sourced and uncontentious material about him. If there are genuine concerns about the reliability of a source, I suggest taking the matter up at WP:RS/N. Yet other unimpeachable sources are Hare Krishna Transformed By E. Burke Rochford, from NYU Press, with a couple of relevant pages, or The Hindu World By Sushil Mittal, G. R. Thursby, from Routledge, a single volume reference on all of Hinduism, relevant page not viewable online. Again, this article should be speedily kept, per the many arguments of the many different experienced editors in the three AfDs. This is not a close call. John Z ( talk) 05:59, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The above sources only discuss Bhaktivedanta Narayana's relationship with ISKCON. Also, the first source is written by a non notable author/devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana Irvin H. Collins. The second source only mentions him in a few pages out of many hundreds of pages devoted to its subject, ISKCON pages 37 through 39. Other self published materials can be useful but are not reliable sources for establishing notabilty. In all, Bhaktivedanta Narayana is not the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 06:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
See, that is what I meant by POV pushing. First you claiming that "the only reference in the article that is concerned with the subject"? when in fact there are two and then you claim that the article has "has no reliable sources" when again in fact there are two. The book of Dwyer and Cole has a section (pages 37-39, as you say) that is entitled "Narayana Maharaja". This section, yes, only two pages long, provides in-depth and specific coverage of Bhaktivedanta Narayana. Whether or not this is enough to establish notability is a separate question, but there is no doubt that the Dwyer and Cole book is a secondary reliable source which contains in-depth coverage of the subject. Nsk92 ( talk) 06:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • I respect your enthusiasm for the subject, but being mentioned in a book for two pages does not amount to a reference that establishes notability. Also, a chapter in a book, written about ISKCON's relationship with Bhaktivedant Narayana, by a devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana, is a very weak arguement for notability. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 06:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
I have no enthusiasm or interest in the subject. Like JohnZ, I picked this AfD at random, during an hour when I had time to look at the AfD listings. And I agree with JohnZ that this one is not even a close call. Nsk92 ( talk) 06:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
NSK, I replied to some of your comments above; I disagree on one point. Ism Schism, as I said at the last AfD, your interpretation of the guidelines are nonstandard, and illogically restrictive. If one eliminates everything notable about a person, like their relationships with other notable subjects, then of course one is left with nothing. But that is not an argument, but a useless observation. The scholarly world considers Bhaktivedanta Narayana notable, and thus so do we. The demand that the authors of articles on him be notable is new and has nothing to do with Wikipedia policies. What you are calling self-published does not appear to be that; finally I gave several more unimpeachable scholarly sources above. I and I daresay most of the other experienced "keep" editors have no enthusiasm for Bhaktivedanta Narayana, but much for WIkipedia policy and rational argument. Personally I just picked this AfD at random. The arguments for keeping and notability are very strong; tens of thousands of articles would be deleted if rules were interpreted the way you seem to understand them. John Z ( talk) 06:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Reply to John Z/Nsk92 - Stated above... "The scholarly world considers Bhaktivedanta Narayana notable," - please offer some references for this. Aside from a two page mention, and an article written by one of his devotees concerning his relationship with ISKCON, there is very little evidence to suggest that this subject is notable. Thanks.

  • Delete Notability for the subject has not been established. An occassional mention as Ism schism says is not enough. Gizza Discuss © 07:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Have you read all the above? What Ism says is hard to reconcile with policy and usual practice. Ism, have you looked at all the refs? There is far, far more than occasional mentions - a chapter in a book, a subtitled subchapter in another book, a bio at a news site, mentions on a couple of pages in a couple of other scholarly books. And these are only the quite high quality sources. A general one volume, very scholarly treatise on all of Hinduism, an enormous subject, sees fit to mention him. This is a great deal of evidence for notability by usual standards. John Z ( talk) 08:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Yes John Z, I have read all of the above. I read everything again and looked through the article and its reference a second time and my opinion hasn't changed. You may be correct that my and Ism's general standards about notability are much stricter than yours in which case we are relatively more deletionist than you are. Gizza Discuss © 09:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Well, I apologize for assuming differently. (This is Ism's 3rd AfD nom for this, BTW, there's more in the others and that he excised from the article, IMHO incorrectly.) But this standard seems far more deletionist than usual at AfD. How many peer reviewed, academic press, scholarly references, which IMHO cannot reasonably be called passing mentions, on a subject are necessary?! I have no idea how one can reasonably dispute the statement that academia considers him notable. John Z ( talk) 10:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The reason why I dispute the statement that academia considers him notable is that Bhaktivedanta Narayana is not "the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject." If there were academic articles written about him by scholars, and/or academic writtings in which Bhaktivedanta Narayana is the subject of secondary sources independent of the subject, then there would be reason believe that academia considers him notable. What is offered as the first source is a lone chapter in a book. This chapter is written by a non notable author/devotee (and I say this because the author is not a religious studies scholar but an elementary school teacher that is a devotee of Bhaktivedanta Narayana) Irvin H. Collins. The second source only mentions Bhaktivedanta Narayana in a few pages out of many hundreds of pages devoted to its subject, ISKCON, please see pages 37 through 39. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 12:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Well, by usual standards, "just pp 37-39" (which are subtitled Narayana Maharaja) is more than enough for one RS. A "lone chapter in a book" is much, much more than enough. Look at other AfDs. Collins counts and is independent because it is in an academic book, because of the editors and the press. There are the two other academic works I cited above, one a general work on all of Hinduism!, and www.vnn.org with a short biography, which satisfy the conditions. There's also this article, The Perils of Succession: Heresies of Authority and Continuity In the Hare Krishna Movement in the ISKCON Communications Journal, which had been presented to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion, and which covers him in several paragraphs under the heading The Rasika-bhakti Heresy. That's 5 scholarly sources and one news source. Finally, it should be speedily kept because this 3rd AfD was started only 4 days after the 2nd, with very little new argument; this is not the normal or proper procedure. John Z ( talk) 16:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
The Rasika-bhakti Heresy is discussed in The Perils of Succession: Heresies of Authority and Continuity In the Hare Krishna Movement. Bhaktivedant Narayana's relationship with ISKCON is noted as being part of the "Rasika-Bhakti Heresy." Once again the subject of the article is ISKCON. A part of this paper notes Bhaktivedanta Narayana's relationship with ISKCON - and he is not the subject of this work. He is mentioned in the article as part of one of many "heresies" in ISKCON. None of the above sources are concerned with Bhaktivedanta Narayana as a subject of himself. No scholarly studies of books or academic essays consider Bhativedanta Narayana notable outside of his relationship with ISKCON. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Rename - this article does have sufficient references to stay, however it should be renamed to reflect the concerns with the notability being a 'reflected notability'. I suggest that the name of the article should reflect an obvious conclusion of the previous AfD(2). It should not be a biography, but really an article on Bhaktivedanta Narayana Movement or History of Bhaktivedanta Narayana Schism - which will reflect the subject's notability in as per good RS quoted. After all its not that you can write just about anything in Wiki and especially considering this is WP:BLP - one must be very careful and at the same time one should not use notability of one subject to automatically support a notability of another subject. As the last comment on the articles talk page by ISKCON article editor - It hardly can be placed as a part of the ISKCON article or merged into it - and I agree - it will be UNDUE, but maybe after its renamed it can have a WP:SS section in it, if editors of the ISKCON article agree. If not renamed I would support merge into Gaudiya Matha article. Wikidās ॐ 17:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Since it was me who introduced reliable references into this article, if article is renamed I would suggest adding Hare Krishna Transformed (The New and Alternative Religions Series) by E. Rochford ISBN 0814775799, pp. 170-171 - again in the context of it being a schismatic movement not being about B Narayana, maybe article can be deleted as our admin DaGizza suggests and a new article created instead on the topic? Wikidās ॐ 19:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • On merging and/or renaminging. Concerning a merge to Gaudiya Matha, was Bhaktivedanta Narayana a member of the Gaudiya Matha? I am open to this idea but he seems to have come after the Gaudiya Matha fell apart. Also, concerning renaming... As the references presently listed above are concerned with the subject of ISKCON (and its heresies and schisms) maybe a rename to History of Schisms in ISKCON. Bhaktivedanta Narayana is just not notable enough for a stand alone article, maybe this would be a way to salvage the information in the article. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I have to be very honest. At first AfD I have suggested WP:RS and inserted them in the article, but I could not find any reliable sources as to the biography of the WP:BLP. I made a mistake, as I was reminded on the number of occasions by other editors in different context. I have since improved somewhat. But this article does NOT reflect any reliable sources that are quoted in the article. Thus the sources can be used for other article, and this one to be deleted as all material for WP:BLP has to be carefully sourced. Because the material above is non-biographical I would suggest deleting at this stage, and only then creating of other article that reflects reliable sources. You are right, and Gaudiya Math did fell apart and this is not a material for that article. Wikidās ॐ 23:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • An example of how this could be done is the page on the Swaminarayan Faith. In this article the original group is mentioned, Swaminarayan Sampraday. This is followed by its major divisions since, with the analogous Swaminarayan Gadi.

Whose festivals are these, specifically? There should be some sourcing for a particular group of Sindhi festivals, but as to which ones should be included, I am not sure.

If it's kept, it's in very dire need of an extreme rewrite (I added an {{Articleissues}} and stopped at just a handful of problems (if this is indeed a list of Sindhi festivals, it should be renamed to List of Shindhi Festivals per Wikipedia naming guidelines). If it can be verified using reliable sources (and one would think they would be rather easily found in a few Asian sites), then radically rewritten (in addition to what's on the tag, it's also written in the mode of a magazine or a personal essay), and then renamed, it would be worth keeping.

  • Keep. This is a big local, and has more history than most, given the way that transit drivers in the greater Vancouver area voted to switch from the (U.S.-based) Amalgamated Transit Union to an independent Canadian union, and later to the Canadian Auto Workers union, and in light of the sometimes bitter history of negotiations and strikes (which the article doesn't discuss enough, and which ended the careers of some municipal politicians who took a hard line against the union). Individual locals of (say) an airline mechanics union may not be notable if they all represent workers doing the same work, but individual locals of a diversified union such as the Canadian Auto Workers can be notable, especially if they are quite large, represent a bargaining unit outside the traditional auto plant sector, or have a distinctive individual history. -- Eastmain ( talk) 17:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

HMS Ontario already exists, I don't think we need two pages on the subject, or a disambiguation that the ship was made in 1780 in the article subject. I would propose a merge and delete Alternatively, we could move whatever we can from HMS Ontario here. I just don't think we need two pages on the exact same subject! Fraud talk to me 01:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

We do not need two pages on the same subject, I agree! The two articles should be merged in one, and the other stub converted to a redirect. I would make HMS Ontario (1780) the main article, and HMS Ontario - a redirect, in case some other HMS Ontario from a different era pops up. Cheers! Xenonice ( talk) 01:34, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Ok, merger complete! I removed the AfD tag. Xenonice ( talk) 02:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I vote for merge, not delete. Shipwrecks are interesting. This is also historically interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.71.180.96 ( talk) 02:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Xenonice implemented a redirect from HMS Ontario to HMS Ontario (1780) and merged the material. Obviously the merger was needed, but not obvious is that it should be located at 1780, in fact to me it seems obvious the HMS Ontario name with no 1780 should be used. See Talk:HMS Ontario (1780).
Someone else posted a stated conclusion to the AFD, to the Talk:HMS Ontario (1780) article, that the result was to "speedy redirect". I think this is not correct. It seems obvious to me that the correct name of the article is HMS Ontario, not HMS Ontario (1780), because there are no other HMS Ontario's known. And the discussion above was leaning toward doing the move in that direction. The consensus, if any, is to redirect from the 1780 article to the other one, which is how i "vote" anyhow. So, i support deletion of this HMS Ontario (1780) article, with merger/move of its material to HMS Ontario. doncram ( talk) 07:03, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

According to the main university article, UNC Asheville has only 35 graduate students, and therefore I don't think this graduate center can ever be notable enough to support its own article, other than this page being a directory of courses which would not be acceptable per WP:NOT. Hippo ( talk) 00:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't see a claim of notability for the Center in the article; those editors who might come here to argue for keeping this article need to provide one. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 01:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Obviously you did not do ANY research other than just read the one article you linked above on the graduate school at the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA). I have no doubt that the UNCA “grad school” has ONLY 35 students - UNCA is a public "liberal arts" university - its lone master's degree is a liberal arts degree (nothing wrong with that, just not a lot of demand for it). This is the reason that the UNC board of trustees established the Asheville Graduate Center, to offer the residents of Asheville a greater variety of grad courses that UNCA is designed to offer.

If in fact you read the article on the Asheville Graduate Center, you would know it is not a part of the UNCA grad school; it is NOT a part of UNCA; it IS administrated by UNCA, and it utilizes faculties of the university. The other 5 UNC system participants, schedule, conduct, provide their own professors/instructors for the graduate degree programs offered at the AGC and confer degrees from their university for graduates (not degrees from UNCA). Currently, over 600 students are in degree programs at AGC in the 6 universities that participate in the AGC. http://www.unca.edu/agc/ Glovejr ( talk) 01:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I think it's reasonable to look at the main university page since the article did not assert anything beyond that. From the article it looks like a distance learning opportunity for UNCA students. Either way, while WP:WAX is not a good basis for an argument, I doubt it's notable enough as very few graduate schools in the world have their own pages on Wikipedia. Also please note WP:NPA. Hippo ( talk) 01:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Comment It is unfortunate that the TarHippo may have gotten some facts wrong, as it distracts us from the real problem; this Center doesn't seem to be notable. It is an adminstrative division of a larger entity, the University of North Carolina, current enrollment 183,000. Would an article on the University's Human Resources Division be appropriate for Wikipedia? No; the standard we use can be read at WP:ORG. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 01:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply

You guys can do what you will about the article, delete it, or leave it. But, in my personal opinion, what good is a "pageless" encyclopdeia (one where page space is not at a premium and everything can be included) that deletes factual, current, accurate data about institutions? Rather than expanding knowledge, some seem intent on deleting infomation (i.e. deciding what is relevant) by utilizing Wikipedia guidance (in my again "opinion" mis-utilizing wikipedia guidance and rules). But, whatever the decision on the article..... have a nice day. Glovejr ( talk) 02:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC) reply
