Problematic notability. One single charted on the UK charts and they did play at festivals under their old name, but I'm not sure that that provides notability for the previous incarnation, and the new incarnation is signed to a non-notable label and has yet to produce anything other than downloads.

Redundant. We already have list articles for the winners of the individual pageants. The grouping of the "big four" seems artificial: no source is presented describing them as the big four. Finally, there is no crossover among the pageants. This type of a list might be useful for boxing, where champions may hold multiple titles at once, but I don't see it adding anything beyond what is at the individual pageants' articles. — C.Fred ( talk) 22:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply

I'm ambivalent on these professional activists. There seems to be a lot of these types of bios on Wikipedia. They do get news coverage 'cause they are activists.

Politicians who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city.
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such a person may be notable for other reasons besides their political careers alone.

The result was Delete. To spend this much time discussing the minutiae of interpretation of a supplemental notability guideline (that is, one intended to make the determination of notability easier than the general notability guideline), seems quite silly. Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes is not intended to be another hurdle that an article must pass to be considered notable. It is intended to be a shortcut to otherwise having to prove-out references according to WP:N. Since the guideline fails us in this case, as it makes it much harder, we must put it aside and get back to the general guideline. That would be the whole bit about the subject having been the subject of a substantial depth of coverage published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject, or non-trivial coverage of less substantial depth in multiple such sources. So all we needed to find was multiple independent reliable sources backing up reasonable assertions of importance or significance of the subject. As this discussion failed to yield same, and extraordinary efforts to make it fit WP:ATHLETE obviously failed, my decision is therefore to delete the article.

I'm just not sure this is necessary in the main namespace. There's nothing to suggest that the mere terminology passes the general notability guideline - multiple reliable non-trivial published sources covering just the terminology in detail? Also, either this article is at the wrong title, or there are lots of irrelevant examples, because there are many wikis discussed in this article that are not Wikipedia. Perhaps a better title would have been Wiki- and -pedia (terminology). As I said, I just don't think this page is necessary. Another possibility is to compress and merge this information to wiki, which I think could work well, but equally I think deletion is plausible. I understand that this article was created due to the perceived need for it, but personally, I think we don't need a seperate page for this.

Anchal: She was CoverGirl of the Week twice, she was the only girl from her Cycle to appear on celebrations for Cycle 10 (the Tyra Show) and she still has strong fandom to this day. Jael: She was the most memorable contestant of her cycle (makeover meltdown, fight with 50 Cent, friend who died of a overdose). She was once CoverGirl of the Week and got one first call-out. She has also appeared on ANTM Exposed, the Tyra Show, ANTM Cycle 10 and is about to start a clothing line. There has also been controversy about nude underage pictures. the fact that her friend died has also led her to speak up about drug issues. Bianca: Like Jael, very memorable contestant, has appeared on ANTM Exposed, the Tyra Show, won one challenge. she has modelled for Project Runway and is about to be on BET's Rip the Runway Show. That's why I would keep those. Siemgi ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply
The result was Delete. Although there are ideas to merge, they have been speficially refuted as not needed, as most of this article is WP:OR. That doesn't mean the parent article couldn't be improved though. Sea Duck (Tale Spin) is an unlikely redirect, but Sea Duck is a valid one, and will now redirect to the parent article. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
I loved the TV show TaleSpin, but come now, an article on the Sea Duck? It establishes no notability through reliable sources, and is an in-universe plot repetition that is already covered in the TalesSpin articles plot section. This is therefore duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 15:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Charmed IS my favorite non-animated show, believe me. And I do believe that most characters deserve their articles, believe that also. I also believe that Sam isn't notable since he has only been in three episodes. I say delete and remove him from the list of recurring characters from the
Charmed articles. Three episodes, that's hardly recurring. Maybe redirect him to one of the lists of Charmed characters, but I highly doubt three episodes is enough to get him his own article.

Fairly obvious hoax/nonsense. Apparently he was born in 1933, was killed in 1948, but became leader of his tribe in 1956, after it had dissolved in 1947. Google, Google books, Google Scholar and Google News (since forever) all turn up a blank for his name. The tribes mentioned don't seem to exist either. There is a book listed as a reference, but Google Books and Amazon are both unaware of its existence, and Calcutta Press seems to exist only as a simple printer.

Just got confirmation for my photo. The "resume read" has improved, but needs work still, I am requesting time to work on this as I am new to wiki and even though the page might be deleted regarding coi and auto, because I am familiar with my own work, I can more easily navigate the formatting in wiki and learn about the permissions and references - there's no way I could have done this much on an article that I know little about. I believe CoffeePusher understands correctly my issues qualifying me as a "special case." Other editors are not reading the comments, and take offense to my "crude edits" which are newbie mistakes - like answering in-line to the posts to which I am responding. i would clean up the page and fix it, but I really want to stay with one page at a time, and my time is running out for "ShamanDhia." Honestly, even the mean editors are helping me a lot with this (as did the "bots.")
Agreed, I was responding in-line to the comments because I was late getting the welcome message, and this is my first experience editing on wiki. Others have neutralized their opinion based on my edits.

I think RHayworth is dead wrong, and no matter what I say that is always going to be her answer to me, and skimming content returns that attitude...but there are intelligent people reading and watching... I know for sure because some of my students at school reported what they read about me here, and were very involved in the discussions and also concerned about how I felt about being so "attacked." I explained that the yelling was mostly from auto-responders, not the people. (They see the ! and the colors and they get upset...they don't really read the messages.) They saw the comments and asked what I thought about the whole thing - the experience...they are taught in school that wiki is not a good source of info. They also told me anyone can post anything they want. We had a pretty long dialog about wiki and I don't mind speaking up for this system in college lectures.
ok - here's one for you. I did a website for an artist in 1996 that was hosted on hisname.com. Now another guy with the same name has that domain. I have the code, still. It was published on hisname.com, with a credit in the source code to me. If I put it on my site at work (college), It is considered self-published, or self-referencing...but it would be considered differently if it were hosted or linked differently, and the actual thing is a website. It's sort of the first one I made. http://dm3519.aisites.com/default.htm Check it out - its pretty cool. If I say published on hisname.com in 1996, and people go to hisname.com, they see his name, but that guy is not the guy who owned the site in 1996, and he doesn't know me.

How can they be wikiproofed? oh, yeah...someone did write my bio: (you have to look for my realspace data, not the cyberspace stuff) by that I meant you have to use my name, not my nick/id. http://www.artinstitutes.edu/newyork/experts_sec.asp?catid=305 does that count for anything with wiki? Its not on my faculty page.
I'm personally all about free speech and free art, and in the tradition of artists being a little different, and in the spirit of the wiki revolution, I think that at least one auto-bio by a conceptual digital media artist should be tolerated, watched, and formally accepted by the wiki community...because it will be a long time before anyone not in the digital media art realm will be able to understand my work enough to write about it. By deleting this page you are actually censoring progressive work that should be discussed and shared in a reputable cyber-community - that's not the purpose of wiki - ...yes, here I am being shameless again...
I'm only talking about the site I made in 1996 this month, because when I made it, no one knew what the hell computers were, let alone the internet, and art has always been a fringe culture in the US, so I never showed stuff or talked about it, because nobody knew what it was - also the technology available today (and storage space, and video, etc.) makes it possible to share it now...people can understand it and talk about it - but they couldn't do that in 1996. The people who did try to write about my stuff early on got most of the vocabulary and terms wrong, anyway...even Elizabeth merged my nick with my realname -"Dhia Mortillaro." A lot of people do that.
And the underground railroad stations project is huge, even 12 years later...and constantly growing, I put the googleEarth tour of the stations online in 2006, i think - not very many people understand the contributions of the Native American Indians - helping people navigate through the landscape from one station to the next - all the way to Canada. The map I made was a render from a topographical download from NASA and photoshoped to look like niagara falls... that screen became the GoogleEarth tour in 10 years. That's so cool.
Wiki is a kind of Plexus linking ideas and thoughts and threads. If you weave in my thread you're voting to remain progressive and adaptable. If you delete this page you are falling into lock and key karma power struggle stuff. You guys can understand that, but my waiting to be noticed by regular people to earn the honor of being "notable" beyond what I already am is crazy from my perspective because of the kind of artist I am. I can only truly be notable in cyber-communities, which are mostly friends and fans. Not always "reliable."
I'm long winded and sel-reflective tonight because I know I have to fix my bio tomorrow if there is any chance at all to save my page... oh yeah, and I have to figure out the footnote thing still. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the crash course in wiki publishing this week! I really had a lot of fun; and, I know the experience will influence how I approach my work in the future.

I am clearly worth a 1 in 2.4 million exception. How exectly do I need to prove it to you? Notability is not the same as poularity. My sources span 15 years and include the us copyright office, Buffalo Evening News, Art Forum Magazine, and the Castellani Museum Newsletter. What cuts it from your perspective? This is not an all inclusive list, just the basics to frame the article and provide evidence of notability, which is not the same as popularity. The issue isn't if I am full of myself or not. The issue is that AdF might be used in some instances to improve an article and keep it as a valuable contribution to wiki. Those able to respond to that idea, are the ones I can work with. Flippant and sarcastic judgements that discourage attempts to improve article quality should be tempered. the Hitochi Princess ( talk) 13:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)ShamanDhia The edit history shows evidence that I am continually becoming aware of all of your formating and standards.

Maybe revert if this version reads worse than the earlier one. I haven't even been here a week yet (6th day). I'm not trying to insult anybody. If this version is Bullocks to you, read an earlier version and say if it made progess or not.

Article violates WP:NOT#INFO. The article simply lists chiefs of Punjab, none of whom have their own article. Article does not mention why any of these people are notable. Noor Aalam ( talk) 00:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Robert Montgomery (administrator) who commissioned the book, himself served as Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab a position of prime political significance during this historical period . The significance of this article as a reference point to this book and period may also be valued from what one the authors of this book Charles Francis Massy has to say in the preface. :-
“I was asked “ to write a business –like book of reference for District and Administrative Officers , studying brevity and eschewing minute detail .”These instructions I have obeyed at the sacrifice of much interesting matter which came under my hand. The book will not attract the general reader: but it will probably be found useful as one of reference, and every endeavor has been made to secure an accurate record of modern facts affecting the families. “
Having said this I would like to add that there is scope for improvement in every article including this one and as such all pages may be considered work in progress.
The reason cited that for deletion has perplexed me viz “The article simply lists chiefs of Punjab, none of whom have their own article.” If not having an article on Wikipedia is fair ground for deletion , we may as well assume that wikipedia has already touched upon all subjects worthy of inclusion , I find this logic abhorrent .Cheers Intothefire ( talk) 15:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply

check my references, but critics is maybe a wrong word to describe general people discussion, although if some of them really are critics. And yes, the search result on google didn't gave so many hits, which I became quite surprise about, theirfor I wrote this article about Calavari because I think he is an interesting character, and yes, I have actual meet him in real life and acctualy own a painting made by him, I have put alot of time into this article, although I clearly send out the wrong message, I don't know what vanity mean, but I could probably guess, or the meaning of "attack page". anyway. It's not deletion of this article need, it's the grammar and correction of my bad english language, and even change the word "critics" to something else, I don't know how I could get references to all the critics, they are probably more unknown then Vincent Calavari.

Politicians who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city.
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such a person may be notable for other reasons besides their political careers alone.

I have known Alex Stephen for almost 15 years. He is 3 year Ontario Badminton Champion and a 3 year national badminton finalist. He is well known in the badminton communnity. Maybe badminton isn't the most important sport to you, but that doesn't mean you can't still respect it. Secondly he is a well known person in the community. He has worked had various successful companies and has been a great asset. It is upsetting that you would want to delete such a great leader in the community. "Think of the Children (in badminton)" he is a legend to them and you want to crush their hopes and dreams, how could you do that to the children!

The result was Delete. To spend this much time discussing the minutiae of interpretation of a supplemental notability guideline (that is, one intended to make the determination of notability easier than the general notability guideline), seems quite silly. Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes is not intended to be another hurdle that an article must pass to be considered notable. It is intended to be a shortcut to otherwise having to prove-out references according to WP:N. Since the guideline fails us in this case, as it makes it much harder, we must put it aside and get back to the general guideline. That would be the whole bit about the subject having been the subject of a substantial depth of coverage published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject, or non-trivial coverage of less substantial depth in multiple such sources. So all we needed to find was multiple independent reliable sources backing up reasonable assertions of importance or significance of the subject. As this discussion failed to yield same, and extraordinary efforts to make it fit WP:ATHLETE obviously failed, my decision is therefore to delete the article.

I'm just not sure this is necessary in the main namespace. There's nothing to suggest that the mere terminology passes the general notability guideline - multiple reliable non-trivial published sources covering just the terminology in detail? Also, either this article is at the wrong title, or there are lots of irrelevant examples, because there are many wikis discussed in this article that are not Wikipedia. Perhaps a better title would have been Wiki- and -pedia (terminology). As I said, I just don't think this page is necessary. Another possibility is to compress and merge this information to wiki, which I think could work well, but equally I think deletion is plausible. I understand that this article was created due to the perceived need for it, but personally, I think we don't need a seperate page for this. I'm merely considering this for deletion, and am willing to see what people think so that their views might change mine on this - it's not an outright "I want this deleted now". h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Keep for all 3. I personally added both Bianca and Jael. and I think that while the 3 women nominated here might not be as famous as Jaslene or Caridee, they all belong here. Anchal: She was CoverGirl of the Week twice, she was the only girl from her Cycle to appear on celebrations for Cycle 10 (the Tyra Show) and she still has strong fandom to this day. Jael: She was the most memorable contestant of her cycle (makeover meltdown, fight with 50 Cent, friend who died of a overdose). She was once CoverGirl of the Week and got one first call-out. She has also appeared on ANTM Exposed, the Tyra Show, ANTM Cycle 10 and is about to start a clothing line. There has also been controversy about nude underage pictures. the fact that her friend died has also led her to speak up about drug issues. Bianca: Like Jael, very memorable contestant, has appeared on ANTM Exposed, the Tyra Show, won one challenge. she has modelled for Project Runway and is about to be on BET's Rip the Runway Show.

Just got confirmation for my photo. The "resume read" has improved, but needs work still, I am requesting time to work on this as I am new to wiki and even though the page might be deleted regarding coi and auto, because I am familiar with my own work, I can more easily navigate the formatting in wiki and learn about the permissions and references - there's no way I could have done this much on an article that I know little about. I believe CoffeePusher understands correctly my issues qualifying me as a "special case." Other editors are not reading the comments, and take offense to my "crude edits" which are newbie mistakes - like answering in-line to the posts to which I am responding. i would clean up the page and fix it, but I really want to stay with one page at a time, and my time is running out for "ShamanDhia." Honestly, even the mean editors are helping me a lot with this (as did the "bots.")
Agreed, I was responding in-line to the comments because I was late getting the welcome message, and this is my first experience editing on wiki. Others have neutralized their opinion based on my edits. Thanks for the feedback, and I will try not to be so crude in the future.161.38.223.246 (talk) 18:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)ShamanDhia 161.38.223.246 ( talk) 22:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)ShamanDhia reply
I think RHayworth is dead wrong, and no matter what I say that is always going to be her answer to me, and skimming content returns that attitude...but there are intelligent people reading and watching... I know for sure because some of my students at school reported what they read about me here, and were very involved in the discussions and also concerned about how I felt about being so "attacked." I explained that the yelling was mostly from auto-responders, not the people. (They see the ! and the colors and they get upset...they don't really read the messages.) They saw the comments and asked what I thought about the whole thing - the experience...they are taught in school that wiki is not a good source of info. They also told me anyone can post anything they want. We had a pretty long dialog about wiki and I don't mind speaking up for this system in college lectures.
ok - here's one for you. I did a website for an artist in 1996 that was hosted on hisname.com. Now another guy with the same name has that domain. I have the code, still. It was published on hisname.com, with a credit in the source code to me. If I put it on my site at work (college), It is considered self-published, or self-referencing...but it would be considered differently if it were hosted or linked differently, and the actual thing is a website. It's sort of the first one I made. http://dm3519.aisites.com/default.htm Check it out - its pretty cool. If I say published on hisname.com in 1996, and people go to hisname.com, they see his name, but that guy is not the guy who owned the site in 1996, and he doesn't know me.
ok - another one - then I want to include my EarthWork, but its sitting on geocities. I really made something out of the Earth elements, and its in NYC. http://www.geocities.com/shamandhia/fol.htm It was posted on a bunch of usergroups newsgroups.. yahoo ones I think PIMAtalk. How would I cite these if I were to include them in my page? How can they be wikiproofed? oh, yeah...someone did write my bio: (you have to look for my realspace data, not the cyberspace stuff) by that I meant you have to use my name, not my nick/id. http://www.artinstitutes.edu/newyork/experts_sec.asp?catid=305 does that count for anything with wiki? Its not on my faculty page.
I'm personally all about free speech and free art, and in the tradition of artists being a little different, and in the spirit of the wiki revolution, I think that at least one auto-bio by a conceptual digital media artist should be tolerated, watched, and formally accepted by the wiki community...because it will be a long time before anyone not in the digital media art realm will be able to understand my work enough to write about it. By deleting this page you are actually censoring progressive work that should be discussed and shared in a reputable cyber-community - that's not the purpose of wiki - ...yes, here I am being shameless again...
I'm only talking about the site I made in 1996 this month, because when I made it, no one knew what the hell computers were, let alone the internet, and art has always been a fringe culture in the US, so I never showed stuff or talked about it, because nobody knew what it was - also the technology available today (and storage space, and video, etc.) makes it possible to share it now...people can understand it and talk about it - but they couldn't do that in 1996. The people who did try to write about my stuff early on got most of the vocabulary and terms wrong, anyway...even Elizabeth merged my nick with my realname -"Dhia Mortillaro." A lot of people do that.
And the underground railroad stations project is huge, even 12 years later...and constantly growing, I put the googleEarth tour of the stations online in 2006, i think - not very many people understand the contributions of the Native American Indians - helping people navigate through the landscape from one station to the next - all the way to Canada. The map I made was a render from a topographical download from NASA and photoshoped to look like niagara falls... that screen became the GoogleEarth tour in 10 years. That's so cool.
Wiki is a kind of Plexus linking ideas and thoughts and threads. If you weave in my thread you're voting to remain progressive and adaptable. If you delete this page you are falling into lock and key karma power struggle stuff. You guys can understand that, but my waiting to be noticed by regular people to earn the honor of being "notable" beyond what I already am is crazy from my perspective because of the kind of artist I am. I can only truly be notable in cyber-communities, which are mostly friends and fans. Not always "reliable."
I'm long winded and sel-reflective tonight because I know I have to fix my bio tomorrow if there is any chance at all to save my page... oh yeah, and I have to figure out the footnote thing still. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the crash course in wiki publishing this week! I really had a lot of fun; and, I know the experience will influence how I approach my work in the future.

I am clearly worth a 1 in 2.4 million exception. How exectly do I need to prove it to you? Notability is not the same as poularity. My sources span 15 years and include the us copyright office, Buffalo Evening News, Art Forum Magazine, and the Castellani Museum Newsletter. What cuts it from your perspective? This is not an all inclusive list, just the basics to frame the article and provide evidence of notability, which is not the same as popularity. The issue isn't if I am full of myself or not. The issue is that AdF might be used in some instances to improve an article and keep it as a valuable contribution to wiki. Those able to respond to that idea, are the ones I can work with. Flippant and sarcastic judgements that discourage attempts to improve article quality should be tempered. the Hitochi Princess ( talk) 13:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)ShamanDhia The edit history shows evidence that I am continually becoming aware of all of your formating and standards. Are there questions as to my N because the sources I submitted are not accepted, or is it that I need more of them, or different kinds of them? Maybe revert if this version reads worse than the earlier one. I haven't even been here a week yet (6th day). I'm not trying to insult anybody. If this version is Bullocks to you, read an earlier version and say if it made progess or not.

Article violates WP:NOT#INFO. The article simply lists chiefs of Punjab, none of whom have their own article. Article does not mention why any of these people are notable. Noor Aalam ( talk) 00:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Robert Montgomery (administrator) who commissioned the book, himself served as Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab a position of prime political significance during this historical period . The significance of this article as a reference point to this book and period may also be valued from what one the authors of this book Charles Francis Massy has to say in the preface. :-
“I was asked “ to write a business –like book of reference for District and Administrative Officers , studying brevity and eschewing minute detail .”These instructions I have obeyed at the sacrifice of much interesting matter which came under my hand. The book will not attract the general reader: but it will probably be found useful as one of reference, and every endeavor has been made to secure an accurate record of modern facts affecting the families. “
Having said this I would like to add that there is scope for improvement in every article including this one and as such all pages may be considered work in progress.
The reason cited that for deletion has perplexed me viz “The article simply lists chiefs of Punjab, none of whom have their own article.” If not having an article on Wikipedia is fair ground for deletion , we may as well assume that wikipedia has already touched upon all subjects worthy of inclusion , I find this logic abhorrent .Cheers Intothefire ( talk) 15:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC) reply

check my references, but critics is maybe a wrong word to describe general people discussion, although if some of them really are critics.

It's not deletion of this article need, it's the grammar and correction of my bad english language, and even change the word "critics" to something else, I don't know how I could get references to all the critics, they are probably more unknown then Vincent Calavari.
