Brand-new university ranking that fails WP:GNG - no sources really discuss it outside of a passing mention that I've been able to find. Ghit count is misleading; Newsweek (and apparently USNWR according to some sources?) released a ranking with the same name at one point, and many sources also just use the name generically ("people have been trying to create a definitive global university ranking for quite some time"). — DroEsperanto ( talk) 23:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

without comment on the rest just yet, I moved the article to the actual title of the project, The New Global Ranking of World Universities -- this will at any rate eliminate the ambiguity. I have left the redirect, but if the article is kept after the AfD, the redirect should be deleted because of the problem mentioned above. The article seems a rough translation, and in this respect and in others, it would need considerable rewording. Does anyone know if there is a corresponding article under any title in the Russian WP, or whether it has by possibly been deleted there? DGG ( talk ) 16:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Delete per nom. There are plenty of university rankings why is one with no track record and support fr a reputable publication notable? Furthermore there appears to be quantitative mistakes in the data collection. Astuishin ( talk) 00:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Delete unless WP:RS can be found. I had made a good faith request for such coverage on the talk page and searched for myself as well, but seeing as how nothing has come to fruition yet, this appears to be "just another ranking" without qualification of notability. -- Kinu t/ c 20:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC) reply

1st nomination resulted in deletion, 2nd result was "no consensus". Article is an unreferenced BLP. Doesn't appear to be notable outside of the show, except for an approximately 1-year stint as a local radio host. Bueller 007 ( talk) 22:57, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I am not sure that the combination of 1 year stint as radio show host plus Survivior runner-up quite qualifies for having an article, but certainly a redirect to Survivor: Marquesas seems more appropriate than deletion. 20:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Not notable person Off2riorob ( talk) 21:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Couldn't find a level of coverage to claim notability, article seems to have been created due to a single event, his controversial resignation, so one event is also an issue imo. Also as the reason for the biography creation, it could have an element of an attack page. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:11, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • KEEP He is notable enough. He has been head of one of the top 100 institutions in the UK. That alone is enough.
Aa42john ( talk) 16:02, 1 January 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Looking at the links provided by Nsk92, and reading a few of them, I still fail to find any content that confirms this persons notability, this one for example, all it mentions the subject from a large article is the say his salary, perhaps there is some content in these links that people who think the article is worthy of keeping can add to the article in this week. As the article stands it is an attack, it is made up of only the persons so called controversial resignation. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
The links provided by Nsk92 show nothing more than the Vice-Chancellor doing the job that all Vice-Chancellors do and which their public relations offices are paid to publicise. Nothing notable about this person has yet emerged in terms of previous activities or achievements. Possibly there may be something in his Who's Who entry, but I don't have access to that at present. Nomoskedasticity makes the valid point that the subject technically passes WP:Prof #6 as having been the highest executive officer of London Metropolitan University, a large institution, although one of low prestige: we are not talking about Oxford or Cambridge here. With WP:Prof #6 supporting keep and WP:BLP1E favouring delete the matter seems evenly balanced. Xxanthippe ( talk) 02:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC). reply
For WP:N and WP:BIO one does not need to do anything notable to be considered notable; it is the existence of significant coverage that makes one notable. The fact that in this case significant coverage is not limited to the recent financial scandal shows that this is not a BLP1E case. And for what it is worth, at his post as the vice-chancellor he seems to have been more vocal and visible than is typical for academic administrators, often taking controversial positions. E.g. here is an article "Go private, London Met boss tells Oxbridge" [10] illustrating this point (here is another story about this [11], and another one called "One cheer for Brian Roper" [12]). He is characterized as "combative" [13], "gung-ho" [14] His battles with the unions while a vice-chancellor of the London Met also received considerable coverage, e.g. here [15], here "Unions may face legal action over running of no-confidence poll in v-c" [16], here [17], here [18], etc. He was also discussed in protests against high pay for academic administrators [19] [20] [21]. He also received substantial coverage (although less than later) at his previous post as the v.-c. of the North London University. E.g. here is a link to a book that has a couple of pages dealing with his battles with unions there [22]. A story from the late 90s related to a controversy about student tuition [23]. A short story about his appointment as a v.-c. at London Met [24]. These are just examples and there is a lot more. The point is, there is plenty of nontrivial coverage of him predating the resignation scandal, which is sufficient for passing WP:BIO. To quote from WP:BIO: "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability". We certainly have such coverage here. Nsk92 ( talk) 03:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
I will have a look through a few of these later, but the reality is that right now if additional detail from these links you have added here is not added to the article then it is imo still an attack page, my opinion is strengthened by the reality that no additional content is being added. Right now as it stands the article is a BLP violation, imo. Off2riorob ( talk) 10:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Then perhaps instead of wasting our time with pointless AfDs you could use the material that is clearly available and write some content. As I said above, you have clearly not complied with WP:BEFORE. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 11:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
This AFD is far from pointless, thank you. As I have clearly said, imo he isn't notable enough for anyone to want to write a decent biography about and the article has been started for the single purpose of the recentism situation of his so called controversial resignation. Off2riorob ( talk) 11:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, this person is simply not very notable and there is never going to be any kind of decent biography of him, what about a redirect to the article that this is actually all about the funding crisis at the London Met article and where Roper is mentioned. Off2riorob ( talk) 15:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • Having started this AfD, you will now have to live with its outcome, once it is closed in the normal way. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 16:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
      • That is not a problem to me at all, keep or delete or redirect it is correct then I am fine with any, but it is totally ok as the discussion develops to offer other solutions to the situation, and I have offered the possibility of a redirect, that is not a problem or out of process. It is not a battle with a winner and a loser, the end result should be the best thing for the subject of the biography and for the wikipedia. Off2riorob ( talk) 16:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article is properly sourced (and shows some minimal level of notability per WP:GNG rather than WP:PROF). Although the article in its current state seems to fit WP:BIO1E (justifying Off2riorob's redirect suggestion) the sources provided by Nsk92 indicate that the article can be expanded and not be solely about his part in the financial crisis. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep VC's are the head of their university and therefore presumed notable by WP:PROF, DGG ( talk ) 17:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    On the british general level of notability of vice chancellors of universities, the citation I linked to from the gardian named Michael Driscoll (economist) at Middlesex .. Geoffrey Copland at Westminster ... John Tarrant at Huddersfield .. Sir Brian Follett, a fellow of the Royal Society and Vice-chancellor of Warwick .. Brian Roper at North London and £119,000 to Frank Gould at UEL. People in similar positions with a biography. Sir Brian Follett is much more notable for many reasons. Driscol is the only one comparable that has a biography and that bio if you could call it a bio, has taken six years to get to that level of content. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is currently a bad article, but he meets the notability guidelines and WP:PROF. The fact that we do not have articles for other VCs is simply a reflection that this is an area where WP is inadequate. I have been surprised many times to find that a particular VC does not have an article and have written one as a result. VCs are notable as they have an important position that means they are certain to be noted. -- Bduke (Discussion) 23:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The article has now been expanded, with a bunch of extra info and sources added. I think it is now in a better shape in terms of balance. Nsk92 ( talk) 03:04, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, a lot better. As nominator I would after the vast improvement, move to Keep and see if this could be snow closed. Off2riorob ( talk) 11:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
After seeing the improvements I agree. Xxanthippe ( talk) 01:32, 1 January 2010 (UTC). reply

Along with Provoke Films (listed for AfD here) part of an apparent promotional/advertising push for this individual from one or two editors. While there is some claim of notability in the way of an award nomination (nomination does not list this individual, however), the majority of the claims in the article are not backed up by reliable sources, and what sources are given only offer passing or minor mentions, or are primary sources connected to the subject of the article.

Comment - Interesting... a Google search on "Blue Fear" "Ciro Ayala" brings back only six results. A search on "Blue Fear" Ayala brings up 93, but maybe only a quarter of those appear to reference the video. I'm sorry, the unsupported word of an apparent single purpose account doesn't trump facts.

Comment: Just by doing a simple research on Blue Fear song, and you will get why the music video has notability in Trance Music audience. I still considered that this your point of view and claims that there is no notability in any of the links, is strictly personal, and truly a fault of respect to this great new artist and his career, whom you don't know but lots of people has been already following him since 2002. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenjeans60 ( talk • contribs) 20:11, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment - The one thing that you're missing here is that "Blue Fear" is not the subject of discussion here - searching on only it doesn't have any bearing on this discussion. Unfortunately, there is not a lot in the way of reliable, indepenent significant coverage about Ayala - most mentions of the video don't even mention him. You keep saying that the notability is there based on things like the links or the video (which not only doesn't have an article, but isn't even mentioned on Armin van Buuren's page), but according to Wikipedia standards, that isn't the case. Whether I know or respect the guy doesn't enter into it - I'm looking at this impartially, without any kind of personal bias - unlike the one which you've already admitted. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 20:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: Firstly, I first wrote the wikipedia article about Ciro Ayala film director, after checking that there was no article at that time about him, who is very well recognized in Asia, from previous tv commercials that he directed. Secondly, I don't know the Ciro Ayala personally and never had the chance to meet him, but I joined his Fans Club this year (AFTER having wrote this article). Thirdly, I am crazy or what, but there is an article about Blue Fear music video, where Ciro Ayala explained the plot and visual concept of the video, which is POSTED on Armin Van Buuren's Official Website [ http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/news/264/ link]. That music video was released this year and is currently on Armin Van Buuren's music videos official collection. Fourthly, about that Blue Fear is not the subject of discussion: I totally agree but I wasn't the one who used the "GOOGLE SEARCH" concept, as a way to check if a person has notability or not. I just replied to your claim about how many results brings a Google Search on Blue Fear Ayala, which, by the way, is the wrong way to search the notability of a person.

Comment: I will reply with your same question: You considered all the links and resources as "without notability", Really? By Whom?
The artist Armin van Buuren is very well known, same about his works. Just checked his Official Website again, and it's true, the music video for the song Blue Fear has been directed by Ciro Ayala (entitled as "music video and film director"). There is an article where the director is explaining the concept behind the music video, at Armin van Buuren's official website. And that's a fact and considered as a reliable source, due that the music video is inside Armin van Buuren's Music Video Collection from 1997 to 2009. Daviderudit ( talk) 18:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Now you're just putting words in my mouth. I never said that all the links were "without notability" - I'll repost it so you can actually read it - the majority of the claims in the article are not backed up by reliable sources, and what sources are given only offer passing or minor mentions, or are primary sources connected to the subject of the article. The difference here is that we need verifiable and reliable independent/third-party sources. Go look up the guidelines as to what's needed. Armin van Buuren's site (along with this link in particular that you keep using) falls specifically into the category of sites that are "primary sources connected to the subject of the article." Neither you or your partner have shown any significant coverage from independent sources about this individual. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 18:16, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: I think TheRealFennShysa doesn't remember his own words: [ http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/news/264/ ]: "doesn't convey any notability at all - it simply lists Ayala as the director". Now, seems that an article posted from the official site of a very well known artist, talking about the behind the scenes of his music video, and providing information about the plot of it, doesn't convey any notability for this person.
Because I was the person who wrote the article BASED on the wikipedia guidelines that you mention, I will response one by one the criteria and requirements needed when writing this article, 8 months ago:
I. "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject": The [ http://digitalcontentproducer.com/reel-exchange/contentproducer/ciroayala/ link] is a secondary source, reliable by the fact that it's a print published American film magazine specialized in Independent Filmmakers from all over the world. That article has a bio about Ciro Ayala, which was published in August 27 2007. The article has been written and copyrighted by Millimeter Magazine.
II. "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability": The amount of links provided shows the existence of the music videos, and 2 of them (FACES and BLUE FEAR) have articles from independent sources that clarified they were directed by Ciro Ayala, produced by Liu Ming Fei, and Provoke Films.
III. [ WP:ANYBIO ] : Point 1: The person, Ciro AYaa, has received 1 AVIMA Awards nomination for the music video Think About You in early 2009, in the category Most Mind Blowing Music Video. There is a direct link to the AVIMA awards nominees link, and the music video appears on Provoke Films Official Website with all the relevant information about the Credits and Behind The Scenes. The [ http://trainspottr.com/nosa-recordings-presents-think-about-you-the-music-video/2048 ] also provides information about the Director, Artist, Record Company and Film Producer Company.
IV. [ WP:ANYBIO ] : Point 2: The Music Video BLUE FEAR for Armin van Buuren, enters in this category, and has enduring historical record in "Trance Music" field. And all the sources and links provided clearly shows that.
V. [ WP:ARTIST ] : Point 3: Ciro Ayala has a significant and well-known work in TV Commercials in Asia and music videos for European artist, which have been the subject of multiple independent reviews. The Music Videos links (specially [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlD0adpJ8kg ] where you can see the Name of the Director at the beginning of the video, and is published at the Official Channel of the music artist, [Andy Moor] who was nominated for a Grammy Award in December 2008 ) clearly validate this point. Also, this music video has been broadcasted on MTV Netherlands in August 2009. Most of Ciro Ayala's works have been broadcasted on European and China/Taiwan TV Stations.
And Finally, if You really follow the Wikipedia Guidelines, you should then reply me my previous question about How can improve the article if you still consider it not proper for wikipedia. Greenjeans60 ( talk) 19:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
If you really want to improve this article, you *really* need to takea serious (instead of a reactionary) look at finding better sources. Simply mentioning someone in an article, without any further exposition or follow-up, the the very definition of a trivial mention. The Armin van Buuren link simply mentions Ayala was the director - as you say, the rest of the link is about the video itself, with the ARTIST talking about the making of the video - Ayala is never mentioned again. As to your Point I, this link appears to be nothing more than an online resume listing as part of the ReelExchange site - there's nothing to corroborate your claim that this was actually published in a physical magazine - in fact, the datestamp on the link points to it being an online listing only. Point II - no one's claiming he didn't direct any of these videos. Just because he's done some work doesn't actomatically make him notable. Point III - the nomination is not in his name. Your trainspottr.com link again only mentions him in passing, therefore a trivial mention. Point IV - the "Blue Fear" video is not the subject of this discussion, and whether your claim of "enduring historical record" is true or not doesn't matter in regards to Ayala himself. Point V: You keep claiming Ayala himself has been the "subject of multiple independent reviews" - yet you haven't show any. The YouTube link, again, only mentions him in passing. There's no independent critical review there of Ayala himself - it's a primary source. TV broadcasts, again, only would apply to the status of the videos themselves - Ayala does not inherit any notablity simply because something he worked on was broadcast.
What you need to understand, and I'm going to say this one time, is that this debate is not about trying to claim that he's not done any of the work that you obviously are a fan of. However, that does not automatically confer any notability on the guy. You have failed to provide even one actual independent item that goes into any detail about Ayala himself, and/or why he himself is important. His work, maybe. He himself? Not so much... TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 20:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Again, and this is really getting boring: The Armin Van Buuren Link where he mentions Ayala was the director, the one who is talkin about the making of the video is Ayala himself, not the musician. Ayala is describing the concept of the music video, that's why he won't mention himself again, because he is the one describing the video.

You are saying that I fail to provide an item that goes into any detail about himself, and that's why the link to Taiwan's International Radio Station Interview, has been overpassed by you. It was broadcasted almost a year ago, and it goes into detail on Ayala's Bio and recognition overseas. Secondly, since when an artist is more important than his works? But his works would never exist if he didn't create it. That's the reason, why, when writing the article, lots of wikipedia moderators helped me on providing the right way to write the article. And at that time, they all approved the inclusion of the article on wikipedia. But suddenly, I hope without any personal agenda, both Provoke Films and Ciro Ayala are nominated for deletion, with the claim that there are "not enough" links or references to sustain it for notability... So, my question is: Why suddenly, after almost a year of having wrote the article, nothing worth based on someones opinion? Greenjeans60 ( talk) 20:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: For what it's worth, The Reel-Exchange article, did appear in the October 2007 issue of Digital Content Producer. However, I would be wary of considering it a reliable source, even if its content amounted to enough to establish notability. The page on which Ayala's paragraph appears has a lead which reads: "Want to be a part of Reel-Exchange and its growing community of global collaborators? For the free trial offer email R337-3x[|-|a//63AT...dotcom or visit reel-exchange(dot)com and click on the register link." I searched for "reel-exchange" in the same database that I found Ayala in, and in an article entitled "Job Search," found this: "Reel-exchange allows members to post profiles and up to four sample reels. We now have member from 76 countries and every state in the nation....The service works for people looking to find collaborators, employers, employees, or contractors."

Related to this AfD. This is sort of a pre-emptive strike to prevent re-creation (something the article creator has done before). Therefore, I'm removing the prods and bumping this up to an AfD. From Smartse's prod: "I can't find any sources to establish the notability of this film." The article creator, Indie Movies, is constantly adding (and, in some cases, re-adding previously deleted) non-notable films and has been brought up on the conflict of interest noticeboard twice now (the latest showing that they may have an IP sockpuppet), bringing to light that every film is released by Maverick Entertainment Group.

As a Yankees fan, I wasn't aware we had a notable rivalry with the Orioles. As an editor, I don't see very much use of this article (at least as it stands). This guy seems to think there is a rivalry, but that seems to be about it for the sourcing, and the author seems to take a viewpoint that we on the Yankees side don't. If there is a rivalry, it's quite one-sided. Maybe I'm wrong and there really is something resulting from the Yankees playing as the "Baltimore Orioles" in 1901 and 1902, but I'm skeptical.

The result was delayed delete (one month). All seem to agree that this ought not to exist as an article, but editors disagree whether to merge some content or to delete this outright. So I'm implementing a compromise: I'm redirecting the title to Najib Tun Razak. Editors have one month to find consensus about what, if any, content should be merged from the history. After one month, the remaining redirect should be nominated for speedy deletion with reference to this discussion, and the processing administrator should delete the page.  Sandstein  20:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC) reply

This page was created as an attempt to get around page protection implemented on Najib Tun Razak in response to edit warring.

Let me put in my comments on the article. This article is not meant to be permanent but an area where we can put all the information that was inadvertently deleted and whitewashed from the main article by a certain individual. The main article was temporarily frozen after I reported the individual of edit warring and whitewashing whole sections of the main article. The information from the current article will now be moved to the main article once we have gain consensus. But apparently that individual did not take any opportunity to gain consensus from other contributors or editors before whitewashing, putting us back in square one. Now the freeze has been lifted the individual continues with his blatant deletions and whitewashing of whole sections of the article. You can see that this individual has purposely blanked this whole page before seeking a nomination for deletion. Roman888 ( talk) 16:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Of course you have misunderstood me. I just wanted to point out the continued edit-warring in the main article Najib Tun Razak and the failure of that individual to seek consensus in the discussion page of the article.

  • Merge With Najib Tun Razak. There's a difference between opinion blogs and news blogs. Malaysiakini.com and Malaysian Insider belong to the latter, yet were both questionably considered anti-government blogs, when they have actually reported from both sides of the fence. Both are relevant and mainstream enough to considered by Google as news sources (their articles show up in Google News). Interestingly there's no mention of them being anti-government in their respective wiki-entries either. Simply blanket-naming them as anti-government blogs and denying them as relevant/reliable sources runs counter to the spirit of wikipedia. To think of it another way, if they do contain some articles that appear anti-government, that merely balances the information given by state regulated/controlled media. In fact there woult not even be a need to merge the article as the content were in the original article, except much of them were deleted without editor consensus. Zhanzhao ( talk) 03:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • That's a fair point - I don't think it would be wise to rule out the web-based news sites entirely. However, the problems though with this content are (1) the use of plainly one-sided sources (Anwar and Lim Kit Siang's blogs); (2) many of the articles from the so-called "independent" blogs are just attack-jobs, not reliable journalism: see this; and (3) there's very little balance from mainstream and international media. I think we ought to be very cautious about merging any of the content to Najib Tun Razak for fear of unbalancing the article with weakly sourced contentious material.-- Mkativerata ( talk) 04:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Declined prod (no reason given), unreferenced article with no assertion of notability. The article was originally created with the only content being an infobox (the wrong one) that the editor had copied from Sydney Tower, and two short sentences. [42] Another editor added copyrighted material from this site. [43] This included an image that has since been deleted as a copyvio. I've attempted to improve the article by removing the copyrighted material and replacing the infobox (this three storey pub was most certainly not a skyscraper) but the article is still an unreferenced stub that doesn't assert notability. While the article could be expanded, I'm not interested in doing so and apparently neither was the person who declined the prod. [44] Since the hotel's name was, according to the site from which the copyrighted text was added, "Buchanan's Hotel" and not "Buchanan Hotel", the article would best be recreated from scratch at the correct page, if anyone feels the unlikely urge to do so, rather than moving the current version there.

The more I look, the more this is clearly notable. Featured in a postal stamp series along with the Sydney Opera House as a beautiful australian building. Everywhere it's mentioned is a comment about its unusual beauty or standout qualities. See the google book search - I regret that they're all snippet view but you can see in the search the terms that are used to describe the building. [47] - check it out! How many regular old buildings have been featured on national stamps and visited by presidents? There are articles in a Townsville newspaper (one of them's cited, the other didn't contain anything terribly useful) over 20 years after the building was destroyed, asking after its iron facade. this was not any old building!

Fails to meet WP:BIO as there are no sources demonstrating notability and as there are no results in Google News, Google Books or Google Scholar, his contributions to creating adverts does not appear sufficiently notable to justify a biographic article.

Keep As with people, notability requires independent sourcing.

I don't see the inclusion of more material to be a bad thing. However, "Reception of..." was simply a suggestion, and another NPOV name could work. The current name however only allows inclusion of negative views. DigitalC ( talk) 02:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
That's either disingenuous or jejune, Digital C. "Controversies" is not a POV word; what you're suggesting is that criticisms of the Olympics be washed under "positive views", but the whole point of this article's creation was to get rid of the "negative" material from the main 2010 Olympics article. This is not the place for this discussion, but your proposal is naive. Negative views do exist; if someone else wanted to partition them off as a separate article because they didn't want to see them in the main article, suggesting that they not only be sequestered away from view but also "balanced" with positive p.r. is just "not on".

Please read WP:POVFORK. DigitalC ( talk) 00:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I know bloody well what a POVFORK is, thank you very much. What you're suggesting is equivalent to saying that Venues of of the 2010 Winter Olympics is a POV fork. What this article was created for (not by me) was a place to put the lengthy materials concerning same on the main page into a separate article; the creator didn't make a summary of its contents and place a {{ main}} link appropriately, but it's effectively only a split-off of existing content which should have been condensed on the main page, but wasn't. In your logic making similar splitoffs of the construction and bid sections would be POV forks; and the main difference here was that the creator was wanting to remove so-called "negative" content from the main article to make it more Olympics-promotional friendly; he'd just wanted the stuff deleted or downplayed outright, the idea of a split-off article was suggested by me; he just didn't create or title it properly. Your idea of an article which would have "balance" and not just "negative views" is in itself POV; trying to call the truth something other than waht it is, and paper it over with denials and p.r. campaigns. This is only a POVFork by mistake, not intent; but what you want to do, it seems, is turn it into something else; the material is already NPOV; complaining that it's not because it covers all the negative aspect of the organization and financing and violations of human rights asssociated with the games is akin to "publishing false history", giving untruth an equal footing with truth.....what I'm hearing from you is thet idea that this should bve retitled so that happy-traveller accounts of the Games and hype as presented by hte foreign media "reception" is somehow related to Harriet Nahanee's death and the funding scam perpetrated by Fortress/Millennium ree the Athletes' Village.

  • AS the creator of this page I will clarify a few points I wanted to treat the content of this page the same way venues, the torch relay are treated. With an introduction and a link for further information. The point wasnt too hide all bad informations from the games just to follow the same templeate use ON THIS PAGE with other content. The main page of Vancouver 2010 propose many pages to completed the information about the games and I wanted to do the same way about opposition/controversies. Why isnt the case anyway? I try to do something and I failed doing it... I taught it was an easy task to do... and I soon realized I dont have the background on wikipedia, and my English isnt strong enough to be involve on big project like that here. I only try to make Vancouver 2010 better (and when I say better I'm not saying better content) just better in quality. So I wont apolozise I try unsuccesfully to built this page the proper way, I'm new here. But, instead having a debate about this page (this page should be removed, I agree), why not having a debate about my proposition to built a separated page with the full information and on the main page having an introduction with a link for further information. One last time, I dont want to remove information negative about the games... wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this kind of information should not be deleted, they are fact, and proven, just want them to be better organized. But I wont do the change myself 1)because i dont have the necessary support 2)because wikipedia is too complicated and I'm not able to do it anyway. So dont be worry I wont rebuilt this page or try to do something similar. Just hope somebody will understand my point of view.

This page was created by User:Grancafe, and it appears from his user page that he is the owner of the company. I added unreferenced, spam, and notability notices to the article shortly after its creation. The article's creator subsequently expanded it and removed the templates, but did not address any of these issues, and solicited feedback on the article at Talk:Ospina Coffee Company. I described the problems with the article there at about this time yesterday, but the article has not been substantially changed since then. The article has no citations or references to anything but other Wikipedia articles, which, as I wrote on the article's talk page are not reliable sources for citation purposes. It does not give evidence of substantial coverage in independent and reliable sources, and thus appears to fail the notability guidelines for corporations. It is also written in a self-promotional tone, which, combined with the conflict of interest of its creator, make its unsupported assertions yet more dubious. The subject has about 5,600 Google hits, but the first several pages of results are commercial in nature and do not appear to include reliable, independent sources. It appears that some of the company's previous owners were notable for other reasons and have articles, so perhaps the content that is relevant to those people could be merged there, and the rest deleted.

  • Comment The article was previously deleted as a copyvio at Ospina coffee. If what is stated is true, the company is notable and should have an article (also as the company that several notable Colombian politicians worked in). It should be possible to cite information about the company from sources about these people; however, in a cursory search I have been unable to do so. Any Spanish speakers around? If there are no sources to be found, I would recommend deletion until our verifiability policy can be demonstrably met. — Кузьма 討論 15:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    In particular, I can't even figure out the name of the original company (I assume it was not in English). The present-day US company would be a lot less notable without the historical connections and the claim of continuity, which still seem completely unsourced. — Кузьма 討論 17:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

I submit this article for AfD for two reasons. First, it seems to perfectly fit WP:NEO. Second, the majority of the article is WP:OR and based on a singular source. Based on these two reasons I feel this article is not fit for an encyclopedia. Basket of Puppies 04:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep First of all, WP:NEO does not prohibit articles on neologisms; it merely states that they often aren't notable enough for an article of their own: "Some neologisms can be in frequent use, and it may be possible to pull together many facts about a particular term and show evidence of its usage on the Internet or even in larger society. It may be natural, then, to feel that Wikipedia should have a page devoted to this new term, and this is sometimes but not always the case." This is such a neologism; it has entered the popular culture and can be found in many, many reliable sources (just glancing at the Google News and Google Books search results). The article as it stands is not WP:OR, either; it cites multiple reliable sources, and while Strauss's book is the main reference, it is far from the only one. (Newspaper sources include The New York Times and The New York Sun.) If anything, the article has improved since the last AfD (where the consensus was to keep).

  • Comment Usenet, one of the sources for the article, is not really a RS, even if it is a moderated list. A moderator is not the same as an editor. It's more of a WP:SPS see also the essay point on WP:USENET. Per WP:NEO, "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term, not books and papers that use the term." I don't think the Times and Sun meet that criteria. Also "the seminal (peacock?) Cliff's List definition"? Is that site a RS? It doesn't look like one.

Two other films by the same group are attached to this AfD - one makes a vague assertion of notability that it was shown at Cannes, but even that is unsourced and even if it was, that alone is unlikely to pass the bar of notability.

The Outside In page contains nothing about Croker. Neither does Journal News. DVD AF credits him as a director, which appears to be an error. The International Animated Film Association of Atlanta page advertises a performance. The rest appear agree that Croker has had three minor voice-over roles, including a recurring 10-second gag at the beginning of a 15-minute late-night animated series.

* I originally added the article, but on reflection, I think it is a candidate for deletion.

"As a rule, do not incubate an article unless you intend to improve it or you reasonably expect that it will be improved by other editors."

Note to "Hell in a Bucket" and all: Bruin Democrats is not a political party and does not claim to be. This article describes the largest club organization on a major university's campus, and therefore it is notable. Hundreds of active members, significant lobbying efforts, and a large number of former members in the US Congress and other sectors of the federal government indicate how important the group is to the political ecosphere. If some random song by some obscure artist is consider notable by wikipedia's standards, why not an active political organization as large as this one.

I am obviously reading different notability criteria to you. WP:CLUB is satisfied here because A) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.

Some of these articles detail the group's activities. The LA Times may be regional but it has the fourth largest distribution of all US newspapers, you cannot get much bigger. This consistent appearence in such a major newspaper over such a long period of time verifies not only notability but longevity of the group.

  • Incubate for a while until this is farther along. Even a "binding" letter of intent, which is just a contract, does not mean this will actually be built, only that damages would be available in case one party backed out. As I said when I originally PRODded this article, I think this will be ready for an article perhaps when the keel is laid down. In addition to WP:CRYSTAL, consider a comparison to WP:NFF, which holds that "[f]ilms that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. Budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date." Although Utiopia ocean liner is so far a well-written stub, and this proposal has been covered on CNN.com and elsewhere, in the end I think the same principle must apply.  Glenfarclas  ( talk) 00:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Keep planned projects if they attract enough notice are notable. The Forbes article is sufficient. But I am a little concerned that even it is just repeated the PR handout in very similar language. If genuine, there should be some more sources. DGG ( talk ) 06:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep per DGG and Brad - the project seems fairly notable and I think it appears far enough ahead to be worth an article, if written properly. However, if this article is kept it would probably need at least some rephrasing, but I also think it should be moved to Utopia (cruise ship); if it's anything like The World (which is what it looks like from the website), it will be a cruise ship not an ocean liner. The image given there also gives that impression, and I can't find anywhere on the website where they call it an ocean liner. Jhbuk ( talk) 16:39, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. This is somewhat of a tough call. Prior to MichaelQSchmidt's comment, there was a clear consensus to delete; however, given that there was no further evaluation of the sources, I agree with Tim Song's call to relist the AfD. The relist did not result in any further discussion, so I'm going to go with the current consensus and delete it as apparently non-notable. It's worth noting that although Alison22 was blocked as a sockpuppet, they've not engaged in any vote stacking at this particular AfD; thus, their vote is not inherently problematic and I include it in my final interpretation of the discussion. – Juliancolton |  Talk 03:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Related to this AfD. From Blanchardb's prod which was just removed by an IP (and marked as minor, too, which I think is wrong to do (along with re-adding copyrighted material)): "Movie with no assertion of notability." The article creator, Indie Movies, is constantly adding (and, in some cases (like this one), readding previously deleted) non-notable films and has been brought up on the conflict of interest noticeboard twice now (the latest showing that the IP may be a sockpuppet), bringing to light that every film is released by Maverick Entertainment Group.

Apparently non-notable. The "references" given in the article are just about macrobiotic diet in general. The "newspaper and magazine articles" section has two dead links, one blog post which quotes the article subject briefly, and one feature article from "an insert within the Portland Pres Herald" – i.e. a Parade magazine-style publication (but more obscure). None of this establishes notability. Googling around finds a few mentions on macrobiotic/cancer survivor blogs, but again nothing that gets this article over the bar. — æk Talk 03:11, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

WP:V and WP:N both establish that if a subject is discussed in detail in multiple reliable sources - and you don't need all the 34 sources in the article to be about the Institute in detail, you need two to be - whether or not you think that subject's important is irrelevant.

  • reply I don't believe you are correct in your assessment. According to the general notability guidelines sources must treat the topic "directly and in detail" - i do not think the sources do either. Also the level of coverage only establish a presumption of notability - whether it in facts meets the criteria is up to us to judge. In my opinion the sources simply establishes that the institute verifiably exists )- not that it is in itself notable.(I can verify by reliable sources that my house exists - that doesnt mean it is notable.

Three months after last AfD, this article is still unreferenced original research.

  • Stubbify (is that an available option?) and keep. From the last AfD, it seems like this dynasty is notable, and I agree with Phil Bridger's comment there. At the same time, while AfD isn't the right place to bring an article for cleanup issues (not saying the nom did), I'd hope that once an article's here on tenable grounds alternative outcomes are available. To the extent they are, it the nom's concerns about the sourcing of this article are entirely valid and should be acted upon.  Glenfarclas  ( talk) 16:10, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • Comment If you want to find some sources and stub it down, providing references for what you keep, be my guest. I'll withdraw the nom. But right now, it's a joke. I recently reverted some changes to the religious identity of the family, but it was out of a general tendency to reject unsourced factual changes; given the whole article is unsourced, I'm not sure why I bothered. Keeping a theoretically notable article around is okay if you expect it to be cleaned up over time. When no one has done anything to the article for three months, I consider it grounds for deletion (but not salting, if someone recreates it as a decent stub, that's fine). — ShadowRanger ( talk| stalk) 16:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. The article was written in 2006, and remained virtually untouched for 3 years since. It's possible that one or more of these cemeteries might end up with an article, if sources and historical data can support the idea that the site is notable. But, in this form, there isn't much to go on. I see some name matches on google, but I'm limited in my ability to evaluate non-english sources, unfortunately. I also took the liberty of notifying the original author that the article was at AFD; since they have not edited since 2006, it might not matter except for form's sake.

Brand-new university ranking that fails WP:GNG - no sources really discuss it outside of a passing mention that I've been able to find. Ghit count is misleading; Newsweek (and apparently USNWR according to some sources?) released a ranking with the same name at one point, and many sources also just use the name generically ("people have been trying to create a definitive global university ranking for quite some time"). — DroEsperanto ( talk) 23:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

without comment on the rest just yet, I moved the article to the actual title of the project, The New Global Ranking of World Universities -- this will at any rate eliminate the ambiguity. I have left the redirect, but if the article is kept after the AfD, the redirect should be deleted because of the problem mentioned above. The article seems a rough translation, and in this respect and in others, it would need considerable rewording. Does anyone know if there is a corresponding article under any title in the Russian WP, or whether it has by possibly been deleted there? DGG ( talk ) 16:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Delete per nom. There are plenty of university rankings why is one with no track record and support fr a reputable publication notable? Furthermore there appears to be quantitative mistakes in the data collection. Astuishin ( talk) 00:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Delete unless WP:RS can be found. I had made a good faith request for such coverage on the talk page and searched for myself as well, but seeing as how nothing has come to fruition yet, this appears to be "just another ranking" without qualification of notability. -- Kinu t/ c 20:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Not notable person Off2riorob ( talk) 21:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Couldn't find a level of coverage to claim notability, article seems to have been created due to a single event, his controversial resignation, so one event is also an issue imo. Also as the reason for the biography creation, it could have an element of an attack page. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:11, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • KEEP He is notable enough. He has been head of one of the top 100 institutions in the UK. That alone is enough.
Aa42john ( talk) 16:02, 1 January 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Looking at the links provided by Nsk92, and reading a few of them, I still fail to find any content that confirms this persons notability, this one for example, all it mentions the subject from a large article is the say his salary, perhaps there is some content in these links that people who think the article is worthy of keeping can add to the article in this week. As the article stands it is an attack, it is made up of only the persons so called controversial resignation. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
The links provided by Nsk92 show nothing more than the Vice-Chancellor doing the job that all Vice-Chancellors do and which their public relations offices are paid to publicise. Nothing notable about this person has yet emerged in terms of previous activities or achievements. Possibly there may be something in his Who's Who entry, but I don't have access to that at present. Nomoskedasticity makes the valid point that the subject technically passes WP:Prof #6 as having been the highest executive officer of London Metropolitan University, a large institution, although one of low prestige: we are not talking about Oxford or Cambridge here. With WP:Prof #6 supporting keep and WP:BLP1E favouring delete the matter seems evenly balanced. Xxanthippe ( talk) 02:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC). reply
For WP:N and WP:BIO one does not need to do anything notable to be considered notable; it is the existence of significant coverage that makes one notable. The fact that in this case significant coverage is not limited to the recent financial scandal shows that this is not a BLP1E case. And for what it is worth, at his post as the vice-chancellor he seems to have been more vocal and visible than is typical for academic administrators, often taking controversial positions. E.g. here is an article "Go private, London Met boss tells Oxbridge" [10] illustrating this point (here is another story about this [11], and another one called "One cheer for Brian Roper" [12]). He is characterized as "combative" [13], "gung-ho" [14] His battles with the unions while a vice-chancellor of the London Met also received considerable coverage, e.g. here [15], here "Unions may face legal action over running of no-confidence poll in v-c" [16], here [17], here [18], etc. He was also discussed in protests against high pay for academic administrators [19] [20] [21]. He also received substantial coverage (although less than later) at his previous post as the v.-c. of the North London University. E.g. here is a link to a book that has a couple of pages dealing with his battles with unions there [22]. A story from the late 90s related to a controversy about student tuition [23]. A short story about his appointment as a v.-c. at London Met [24]. These are just examples and there is a lot more. The point is, there is plenty of nontrivial coverage of him predating the resignation scandal, which is sufficient for passing WP:BIO. To quote from WP:BIO: "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability". We certainly have such coverage here. Nsk92 ( talk) 03:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
I will have a look through a few of these later, but the reality is that right now if additional detail from these links you have added here is not added to the article then it is imo still an attack page, my opinion is strengthened by the reality that no additional content is being added. Right now as it stands the article is a BLP violation, imo. Off2riorob ( talk) 10:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Then perhaps instead of wasting our time with pointless AfDs you could use the material that is clearly available and write some content. As I said above, you have clearly not complied with WP:BEFORE. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 11:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
This AFD is far from pointless, thank you. As I have clearly said, imo he isn't notable enough for anyone to want to write a decent biography about and the article has been started for the single purpose of the recentism situation of his so called controversial resignation. Off2riorob ( talk) 11:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, this person is simply not very notable and there is never going to be any kind of decent biography of him, what about a redirect to the article that this is actually all about the funding crisis at the London Met article and where Roper is mentioned. Off2riorob ( talk) 15:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • Having started this AfD, you will now have to live with its outcome, once it is closed in the normal way. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 16:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
      • That is not a problem to me at all, keep or delete or redirect it is correct then I am fine with any, but it is totally ok as the discussion develops to offer other solutions to the situation, and I have offered the possibility of a redirect, that is not a problem or out of process. It is not a battle with a winner and a loser, the end result should be the best thing for the subject of the biography and for the wikipedia. Off2riorob ( talk) 16:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article is properly sourced (and shows some minimal level of notability per WP:GNG rather than WP:PROF). Although the article in its current state seems to fit WP:BIO1E (justifying Off2riorob's redirect suggestion) the sources provided by Nsk92 indicate that the article can be expanded and not be solely about his part in the financial crisis. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep VC's are the head of their university and therefore presumed notable by WP:PROF, DGG ( talk ) 17:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    On the british general level of notability of vice chancellors of universities, the citation I linked to from the gardian named Michael Driscoll (economist) at Middlesex .. Geoffrey Copland at Westminster ... John Tarrant at Huddersfield .. Sir Brian Follett, a fellow of the Royal Society and Vice-chancellor of Warwick .. Brian Roper at North London and £119,000 to Frank Gould at UEL. People in similar positions with a biography. Sir Brian Follett is much more notable for many reasons. Driscol is the only one comparable that has a biography and that bio if you could call it a bio, has taken six years to get to that level of content. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is currently a bad article, but he meets the notability guidelines and WP:PROF. The fact that we do not have articles for other VCs is simply a reflection that this is an area where WP is inadequate. I have been surprised many times to find that a particular VC does not have an article and have written one as a result. VCs are notable as they have an important position that means they are certain to be noted. -- Bduke (Discussion) 23:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The article has now been expanded, with a bunch of extra info and sources added. I think it is now in a better shape in terms of balance. Nsk92 ( talk) 03:04, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, a lot better. As nominator I would after the vast improvement, move to Keep and see if this could be snow closed. Off2riorob ( talk) 11:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There are at least a few third-party sources cited in the article, and this quote from the lead is a strong claim to notability: "PAS is one of the ten career and technical student organizations that has been approved by the United States Department of Education as an integral part of career and technical education also referred to as vocational education." Wuhwuzdat's arguments above are unconvincing. A Stop at Willoughby ( talk) 05:27, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Along with Provoke Films (listed for AfD here) part of an apparent promotional/advertising push for this individual from one or two editors. While there is some claim of notability in the way of an award nomination (nomination does not list this individual, however), the majority of the claims in the article are not backed up by reliable sources, and what sources are given only offer passing or minor mentions, or are primary sources connected to the subject of the article. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 17:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Comment - Interesting... a Google search on "Blue Fear" "Ciro Ayala" brings back only six results. A search on "Blue Fear" Ayala brings up 93, but maybe only a quarter of those appear to reference the video. I'm sorry, the unsupported word of an apparent single purpose account doesn't trump facts. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 19:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: Just by doing a simple research on Blue Fear song, and you will get why the music video has notability in Trance Music audience. I still considered that this your point of view and claims that there is no notability in any of the links, is strictly personal, and truly a fault of respect to this great new artist and his career, whom you don't know but lots of people has been already following him since 2002. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenjeans60 ( talk • contribs) 20:11, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment - The one thing that you're missing here is that "Blue Fear" is not the subject of discussion here - searching on only it doesn't have any bearing on this discussion. Unfortunately, there is not a lot in the way of reliable, indepenent significant coverage about Ayala - most mentions of the video don't even mention him. You keep saying that the notability is there based on things like the links or the video (which not only doesn't have an article, but isn't even mentioned on Armin van Buuren's page), but according to Wikipedia standards, that isn't the case. Whether I know or respect the guy doesn't enter into it - I'm looking at this impartially, without any kind of personal bias - unlike the one which you've already admitted. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 20:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: Firstly, I first wrote the wikipedia article about Ciro Ayala film director, after checking that there was no article at that time about him, who is very well recognized in Asia, from previous tv commercials that he directed. Secondly, I don't know the Ciro Ayala personally and never had the chance to meet him, but I joined his Fans Club this year (AFTER having wrote this article). Thirdly, I am crazy or what, but there is an article about Blue Fear music video, where Ciro Ayala explained the plot and visual concept of the video, which is POSTED on Armin Van Buuren's Official Website [ http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/news/264/ link]. That music video was released this year and is currently on Armin Van Buuren's music videos official collection. Fourthly, about that Blue Fear is not the subject of discussion: I totally agree but I wasn't the one who used the "GOOGLE SEARCH" concept, as a way to check if a person has notability or not. I just replied to your claim about how many results brings a Google Search on Blue Fear Ayala, which, by the way, is the wrong way to search the notability of a person.

Comment - Really? Considered a reliable source by whom? TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 17:41, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: I will reply with your same question: You considered all the links and resources as "without notability", Really? By Whom?
The artist Armin van Buuren is very well known, same about his works. Just checked his Official Website again, and it's true, the music video for the song Blue Fear has been directed by Ciro Ayala (entitled as "music video and film director"). There is an article where the director is explaining the concept behind the music video, at Armin van Buuren's official website. And that's a fact and considered as a reliable source, due that the music video is inside Armin van Buuren's Music Video Collection from 1997 to 2009. Daviderudit ( talk) 18:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Now you're just putting words in my mouth. I never said that all the links were "without notability" - I'll repost it so you can actually read it - the majority of the claims in the article are not backed up by reliable sources, and what sources are given only offer passing or minor mentions, or are primary sources connected to the subject of the article. The difference here is that we need verifiable and reliable independent/third-party sources. Go look up the guidelines as to what's needed. Armin van Buuren's site (along with this link in particular that you keep using) falls specifically into the category of sites that are "primary sources connected to the subject of the article." Neither you or your partner have shown any significant coverage from independent sources about this individual. TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 18:16, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment: I think TheRealFennShysa doesn't remember his own words: [ http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/news/264/ ]: "doesn't convey any notability at all - it simply lists Ayala as the director". Now, seems that an article posted from the official site of a very well known artist, talking about the behind the scenes of his music video, and providing information about the plot of it, doesn't convey any notability for this person.
Because I was the person who wrote the article BASED on the wikipedia guidelines that you mention, I will response one by one the criteria and requirements needed when writing this article, 8 months ago:
I. "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject": The [ http://digitalcontentproducer.com/reel-exchange/contentproducer/ciroayala/ link] is a secondary source, reliable by the fact that it's a print published American film magazine specialized in Independent Filmmakers from all over the world. That article has a bio about Ciro Ayala, which was published in August 27 2007. The article has been written and copyrighted by Millimeter Magazine.
II. "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability": The amount of links provided shows the existence of the music videos, and 2 of them (FACES and BLUE FEAR) have articles from independent sources that clarified they were directed by Ciro Ayala, produced by Liu Ming Fei, and Provoke Films.
III. [ WP:ANYBIO ] : Point 1: The person, Ciro AYaa, has received 1 AVIMA Awards nomination for the music video Think About You in early 2009, in the category Most Mind Blowing Music Video. There is a direct link to the AVIMA awards nominees link, and the music video appears on Provoke Films Official Website with all the relevant information about the Credits and Behind The Scenes. The [ http://trainspottr.com/nosa-recordings-presents-think-about-you-the-music-video/2048 ] also provides information about the Director, Artist, Record Company and Film Producer Company.
IV. [ WP:ANYBIO ] : Point 2: The Music Video BLUE FEAR for Armin van Buuren, enters in this category, and has enduring historical record in "Trance Music" field. And all the sources and links provided clearly shows that.
V. [ WP:ARTIST ] : Point 3: Ciro Ayala has a significant and well-known work in TV Commercials in Asia and music videos for European artist, which have been the subject of multiple independent reviews. The Music Videos links (specially [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlD0adpJ8kg ] where you can see the Name of the Director at the beginning of the video, and is published at the Official Channel of the music artist, [Andy Moor] who was nominated for a Grammy Award in December 2008 ) clearly validate this point. Also, this music video has been broadcasted on MTV Netherlands in August 2009. Most of Ciro Ayala's works have been broadcasted on European and China/Taiwan TV Stations.
And Finally, if You really follow the Wikipedia Guidelines, you should then reply me my previous question about How can improve the article if you still consider it not proper for wikipedia. Greenjeans60 ( talk) 19:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
If you really want to improve this article, you *really* need to takea serious (instead of a reactionary) look at finding better sources. Simply mentioning someone in an article, without any further exposition or follow-up, the the very definition of a trivial mention. The Armin van Buuren link simply mentions Ayala was the director - as you say, the rest of the link is about the video itself, with the ARTIST talking about the making of the video - Ayala is never mentioned again. As to your Point I, this link appears to be nothing more than an online resume listing as part of the ReelExchange site - there's nothing to corroborate your claim that this was actually published in a physical magazine - in fact, the datestamp on the link points to it being an online listing only. Point II - no one's claiming he didn't direct any of these videos. Just because he's done some work doesn't actomatically make him notable. Point III - the nomination is not in his name. Your trainspottr.com link again only mentions him in passing, therefore a trivial mention. Point IV - the "Blue Fear" video is not the subject of this discussion, and whether your claim of "enduring historical record" is true or not doesn't matter in regards to Ayala himself. Point V: You keep claiming Ayala himself has been the "subject of multiple independent reviews" - yet you haven't show any. The YouTube link, again, only mentions him in passing. There's no independent critical review there of Ayala himself - it's a primary source. TV broadcasts, again, only would apply to the status of the videos themselves - Ayala does not inherit any notablity simply because something he worked on was broadcast.
What you need to understand, and I'm going to say this one time, is that this debate is not about trying to claim that he's not done any of the work that you obviously are a fan of. However, that does not automatically confer any notability on the guy. You have failed to provide even one actual independent item that goes into any detail about Ayala himself, and/or why he himself is important. His work, maybe. He himself? Not so much... TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 20:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Again, and this is really getting boring: The Armin Van Buuren Link where he mentions Ayala was the director, the one who is talkin about the making of the video is Ayala himself, not the musician. Ayala is describing the concept of the music video, that's why he won't mention himself again, because he is the one describing the video.

You are saying that I fail to provide an item that goes into any detail about himself, and that's why the link to Taiwan's International Radio Station Interview, has been overpassed by you. It was broadcasted almost a year ago, and it goes into detail on Ayala's Bio and recognition overseas. Secondly, since when an artist is more important than his works? But his works would never exist if he didn't create it. That's the reason, why, when writing the article, lots of wikipedia moderators helped me on providing the right way to write the article. And at that time, they all approved the inclusion of the article on wikipedia. But suddenly, I hope without any personal agenda, both Provoke Films and Ciro Ayala are nominated for deletion, with the claim that there are "not enough" links or references to sustain it for notability... So, my question is: Why suddenly, after almost a year of having wrote the article, nothing worth based on someones opinion? Greenjeans60 ( talk) 20:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: For what it's worth, The Reel-Exchange article, did appear in the October 2007 issue of Digital Content Producer. However, I would be wary of considering it a reliable source, even if its content amounted to enough to establish notability. The page on which Ayala's paragraph appears has a lead which reads: "Want to be a part of Reel-Exchange and its growing community of global collaborators? For the free trial offer email R337-3x[|-|a//63AT...dotcom or visit reel-exchange(dot)com and click on the register link." I searched for "reel-exchange" in the same database that I found Ayala in, and in an article entitled "Job Search," found this: "Reel-exchange allows members to post profiles and up to four sample reels. We now have member from 76 countries and every state in the nation....The service works for people looking to find collaborators, employers, employees, or contractors." Sounds to me like the content was self-created, and not third-party at all. Some jerk on the Internet ( talk) 16:15, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Related to this AfD. This is sort of a pre-emptive strike to prevent re-creation (something the article creator has done before). Therefore, I'm removing the prods and bumping this up to an AfD. From Smartse's prod: "I can't find any sources to establish the notability of this film." The article creator, Indie Movies, is constantly adding (and, in some cases, re-adding previously deleted) non-notable films and has been brought up on the conflict of interest noticeboard twice now (the latest showing that they may have an IP sockpuppet), bringing to light that every film is released by Maverick Entertainment Group.

As a Yankees fan, I wasn't aware we had a notable rivalry with the Orioles. As an editor, I don't see very much use of this article (at least as it stands). This guy seems to think there is a rivalry, but that seems to be about it for the sourcing, and the author seems to take a viewpoint that we on the Yankees side don't. If there is a rivalry, it's quite one-sided. Maybe I'm wrong and there really is something resulting from the Yankees playing as the "Baltimore Orioles" in 1901 and 1902, but I'm skeptical.

The result was delayed delete (one month). All seem to agree that this ought not to exist as an article, but editors disagree whether to merge some content or to delete this outright. So I'm implementing a compromise: I'm redirecting the title to Najib Tun Razak. Editors have one month to find consensus about what, if any, content should be merged from the history. After one month, the remaining redirect should be nominated for speedy deletion with reference to this discussion, and the processing administrator should delete the page.  Sandstein  20:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC) reply

This page was created as an attempt to get around page protection implemented on Najib Tun Razak in response to edit warring.

Let me put in my comments on the article. This article is not meant to be permanent but an area where we can put all the information that was inadvertently deleted and whitewashed from the main article by a certain individual. The main article was temporarily frozen after I reported the individual of edit warring and whitewashing whole sections of the main article. The information from the current article will now be moved to the main article once we have gain consensus. But apparently that individual did not take any opportunity to gain consensus from other contributors or editors before whitewashing, putting us back in square one. Now the freeze has been lifted the individual continues with his blatant deletions and whitewashing of whole sections of the article. You can see that this individual has purposely blanked this whole page before seeking a nomination for deletion. Roman888 ( talk) 16:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

I just wanted to point out the continued edit-warring in the main article Najib Tun Razak and the failure of that individual to seek consensus in the discussion page of the article.

  • Merge With Najib Tun Razak. There's a difference between opinion blogs and news blogs. Malaysiakini.com and Malaysian Insider belong to the latter, yet were both questionably considered anti-government blogs, when they have actually reported from both sides of the fence. Both are relevant and mainstream enough to considered by Google as news sources (their articles show up in Google News). Interestingly there's no mention of them being anti-government in their respective wiki-entries either. Simply blanket-naming them as anti-government blogs and denying them as relevant/reliable sources runs counter to the spirit of wikipedia. To think of it another way, if they do contain some articles that appear anti-government, that merely balances the information given by state regulated/controlled media. In fact there woult not even be a need to merge the article as the content were in the original article, except much of them were deleted without editor consensus. Zhanzhao ( talk) 03:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • That's a fair point - I don't think it would be wise to rule out the web-based news sites entirely. However, the problems though with this content are (1) the use of plainly one-sided sources (Anwar and Lim Kit Siang's blogs); (2) many of the articles from the so-called "independent" blogs are just attack-jobs, not reliable journalism: see this; and (3) there's very little balance from mainstream and international media. I think we ought to be very cautious about merging any of the content to Najib Tun Razak for fear of unbalancing the article with weakly sourced contentious material.-- Mkativerata ( talk) 04:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Declined prod (no reason given), unreferenced article with no assertion of notability. The article was originally created with the only content being an infobox (the wrong one) that the editor had copied from Sydney Tower, and two short sentences. [42] Another editor added copyrighted material from this site. [43] This included an image that has since been deleted as a copyvio. I've attempted to improve the article by removing the copyrighted material and replacing the infobox (this three storey pub was most certainly not a skyscraper) but the article is still an unreferenced stub that doesn't assert notability. While the article could be expanded, I'm not interested in doing so and apparently neither was the person who declined the prod. [44] Since the hotel's name was, according to the site from which the copyrighted text was added, "Buchanan's Hotel" and not "Buchanan Hotel", the article would best be recreated from scratch at the correct page, if anyone feels the unlikely urge to do so, rather than moving the current version there.

RE: Buchanan/Buchanan's, the state department transcript of LBJ's speech - the most reputable source we have so far - that mentions the hotel calls it Buchanan. May well be wrong, but until we can know for certain, I've added a "(also Buchanan's Hotel)" to the article and ultimately we can redirect folks who search for one to the other...

  • Delete don't see how this hotel is notable. lack of coverage [45]. a visit by a US president does not make this hotel notable. LibStar ( talk) 14:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Looks like he didn't just visit, he mentioned the hotel in a speech while president...added to article. Seems to me that this is a piece of US military history and AU history, as well as US presidential history. There's an interesting story about the officer with whom LBJ shared a room (and a bed) while there at this page [46] that nearly ended in LBJ's premature death. not sure if if can be worked in, but wanted to point out. Also, adding some citations. Vivisel ( talk) 17:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    "Mentioned" is all he did. "Things are much calmer and much more peaceful here in Townsville today at the Buchanan Hotel than they were when I was here 24 years ago." That's it, other than confirming that he stayed in Australia on one night in 1942. Well, part of a night. He left at midnight for New Guinea. The other reference in the article, which is of that speech, doesn't even show Buchanan Hotel. The passage is from four paragraphs further on. I don't see how that's notable. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 17:50, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
The more I look, the more this is clearly notable. Featured in a postal stamp series along with the Sydney Opera House as a beautiful australian building. Everywhere it's mentioned is a comment about its unusual beauty or standout qualities. See the google book search - I regret that they're all snippet view but you can see in the search the terms that are used to describe the building. [47] - check it out! How many regular old buildings have been featured on national stamps and visited by presidents? There are articles in a Townsville newspaper (one of them's cited, the other didn't contain anything terribly useful) over 20 years after the building was destroyed, asking after its iron facade. this was not any old building! Also note this reference to it in AU parliament as a "famous building". Vivisel ( talk) 18:25, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
I concede that issue on a stamp makes it notable. Not sure about a flying visit by a US president who couldn't get the name right though. The iron is nothing special. Every town in Australia has a pub that looks like Buchanan's. I'll withdraw the nom. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 18:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

I don't see the inclusion of more material to be a bad thing. However, "Reception of..." was simply a suggestion, and another NPOV name could work. The current name however only allows inclusion of negative views. DigitalC ( talk) 02:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC) reply
That's either disingenuous or jejune, Digital C. "Controversies" is not a POV word; what you're suggesting is that criticisms of the Olympics be washed under "positive views", but the whole point of this article's creation was to get rid of the "negative" material from the main 2010 Olympics article. This is not the place for this discussion, but your proposal is naive. Negative views do exist; if someone else wanted to partition them off as a separate article because they didn't want to see them in the main article, suggesting that they not only be sequestered away from view but also "balanced" with positive p.r. is just "not on".

Please read WP:POVFORK. DigitalC ( talk) 00:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I know bloody well what a POVFORK is, thank you very much. What you're suggesting is equivalent to saying that Venues of of the 2010 Winter Olympics is a POV fork. What this article was created for (not by me) was a place to put the lengthy materials concerning same on the main page into a separate article; the creator didn't make a summary of its contents and place a {{ main}} link appropriately, but it's effectively only a split-off of existing content which should have been condensed on the main page, but wasn't. In your logic making similar splitoffs of the construction and bid sections would be POV forks; and the main difference here was that the creator was wanting to remove so-called "negative" content from the main article to make it more Olympics-promotional friendly; he'd just wanted the stuff deleted or downplayed outright, the idea of a split-off article was suggested by me; he just didn't create or title it properly. Your idea of an article which would have "balance" and not just "negative views" is in itself POV; trying to call the truth something other than waht it is, and paper it over with denials and p.r. campaigns. This is only a POVFork by mistake, not intent; but what you want to do, it seems, is turn it into something else; the material is already NPOV; complaining that it's not because it covers all the negative aspect of the organization and financing and violations of human rights asssociated with the games is akin to "publishing false history", giving untruth an equal footing with truth.....what I'm hearing from you is thet idea that this should bve retitled so that happy-traveller accounts of the Games and hype as presented by hte foreign media "reception" is somehow related to Harriet Nahanee's death and the funding scam perpetrated by Fortress/Millennium ree the Athletes' Village.

  • AS the creator of this page I will clarify a few points I wanted to treat the content of this page the same way venues, the torch relay are treated. With an introduction and a link for further information. The point wasnt too hide all bad informations from the games just to follow the same templeate use ON THIS PAGE with other content. The main page of Vancouver 2010 propose many pages to completed the information about the games and I wanted to do the same way about opposition/controversies. Why isnt the case anyway? I try to do something and I failed doing it... I taught it was an easy task to do... and I soon realized I dont have the background on wikipedia, and my English isnt strong enough to be involve on big project like that here. I only try to make Vancouver 2010 better (and when I say better I'm not saying better content) just better in quality. So I wont apolozise I try unsuccesfully to built this page the proper way, I'm new here. But, instead having a debate about this page (this page should be removed, I agree), why not having a debate about my proposition to built a separated page with the full information and on the main page having an introduction with a link for further information. One last time, I dont want to remove information negative about the games... wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this kind of information should not be deleted, they are fact, and proven, just want them to be better organized. But I wont do the change myself 1)because i dont have the necessary support 2)because wikipedia is too complicated and I'm not able to do it anyway. So dont be worry I wont rebuilt this page or try to do something similar. Just hope somebody will understand my point of view.

Schools generally would qualify for notability. However, the Nurani Thondikulam UP school has no notable entry on any reliable secondary source as far as I could search.

This page was created by User:Grancafe, and it appears from his user page that he is the owner of the company. I added unreferenced, spam, and notability notices to the article shortly after its creation. The article's creator subsequently expanded it and removed the templates, but did not address any of these issues, and solicited feedback on the article at Talk:Ospina Coffee Company. I described the problems with the article there at about this time yesterday, but the article has not been substantially changed since then. The article has no citations or references to anything but other Wikipedia articles, which, as I wrote on the article's talk page are not reliable sources for citation purposes. It does not give evidence of substantial coverage in independent and reliable sources, and thus appears to fail the notability guidelines for corporations. It is also written in a self-promotional tone, which, combined with the conflict of interest of its creator, make its unsupported assertions yet more dubious. The subject has about 5,600 Google hits, but the first several pages of results are commercial in nature and do not appear to include reliable, independent sources. It appears that some of the company's previous owners were notable for other reasons and have articles, so perhaps the content that is relevant to those people could be merged there, and the rest deleted.

  • Comment The article was previously deleted as a copyvio at Ospina coffee. If what is stated is true, the company is notable and should have an article (also as the company that several notable Colombian politicians worked in). It should be possible to cite information about the company from sources about these people; however, in a cursory search I have been unable to do so. Any Spanish speakers around? If there are no sources to be found, I would recommend deletion until our verifiability policy can be demonstrably met. — Кузьма 討論 15:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    In particular, I can't even figure out the name of the original company (I assume it was not in English).

I submit this article for AfD for two reasons. First, it seems to perfectly fit WP:NEO. Second, the majority of the article is WP:OR and based on a singular source. Based on these two reasons I feel this article is not fit for an encyclopedia. Basket of Puppies 04:24, 29 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep First of all, WP:NEO does not prohibit articles on neologisms; it merely states that they often aren't notable enough for an article of their own: "Some neologisms can be in frequent use, and it may be possible to pull together many facts about a particular term and show evidence of its usage on the Internet or even in larger society. It may be natural, then, to feel that Wikipedia should have a page devoted to this new term, and this is sometimes but not always the case." This is such a neologism; it has entered the popular culture and can be found in many, many reliable sources (just glancing at the Google News and Google Books search results). The article as it stands is not WP:OR, either; it cites multiple reliable sources, and while Strauss's book is the main reference, it is far from the only one. (Newspaper sources include The New York Times and The New York Sun.) If anything, the article has improved since the last AfD (where the consensus was to keep).

  • Comment Usenet, one of the sources for the article, is not really a RS, even if it is a moderated list. A moderator is not the same as an editor. It's more of a WP:SPS see also the essay point on WP:USENET. Per WP:NEO, "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term, not books and papers that use the term." I don't think the Times and Sun meet that criteria. Also "the seminal (peacock?) Cliff's List definition"? Is that site a RS? It doesn't look like one.

Previously deleted by PROD, there is no assertion of notability here for a short film that doesn't exist yet and is unlikely to be notable when it does. Two other films by the same group are attached to this AfD - one makes a vague assertion of notability that it was shown at Cannes, but even that is unsourced and even if it was, that alone is unlikely to pass the bar of notability.

RottenTomatoes is a reprint of the Wikipedia article. Ditto for NME Online Magazine. Your Variety reference is a search result, not a reference, but if you follow the first link to his profile he's credited with one (1) voice performance. The Outside In page contains nothing about Croker. Neither does Journal News. DVD AF credits him as a director, which appears to be an error. The International Animated Film Association of Atlanta page advertises a performance. The rest appear agree that Croker has had three minor voice-over roles, including a recurring 10-second gag at the beginning of a 15-minute late-night animated series.

* I originally added the article, but on reflection, I think it is a candidate for deletion.

"As a rule, do not incubate an article unless you intend to improve it or you reasonably expect that it will be improved by other editors."

Note to "Hell in a Bucket" and all: Bruin Democrats is not a political party and does not claim to be. This article describes the largest club organization on a major university's campus, and therefore it is notable. Hundreds of active members, significant lobbying efforts, and a large number of former members in the US Congress and other sectors of the federal government indicate how important the group is to the political ecosphere. If some random song by some obscure artist is consider notable by wikipedia's standards, why not an active political organization as large as this one.

I am obviously reading different notability criteria to you. WP:CLUB is satisfied here because A) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. And B) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by third-party, independent, reliable sources.

I have done a search of the LA Times website and "Bruin Democrats" are mentioned 15 times, 1976 (1), 1978 (3), 1979 (2), 1980 (1), 1984 (1), 1988 (2), 2001 (2), 2006 (1), 2008 (2). Some of these articles detail the group's activities. The LA Times may be regional but it has the fourth largest distribution of all US newspapers, you cannot get much bigger. This consistent appearence in such a major newspaper over such a long period of time verifies not only notability but longevity of the group.

WP:CRYSTAL applies to this article about a residential ocean liner project that has not begun construction and for which the contract hasn't even been signed yet. There is one legitimate reliable source in the article (the other two are press releases), but one magazine piece does not make this project notable. Creator contested prod.

Comment No say yet on whether or not to keep it, but I just found another source. CNN Money ran an article/photo gallery on it. link: http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/real_estate/0912/gallery.Utopia_residences_ocean_liner/index.html. C628 ( talk) 23:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Incubate for a while until this is farther along. Even a "binding" letter of intent, which is just a contract, does not mean this will actually be built, only that damages would be available in case one party backed out. As I said when I originally PRODded this article, I think this will be ready for an article perhaps when the keel is laid down. In addition to WP:CRYSTAL, consider a comparison to WP:NFF, which holds that "[f]ilms that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. Budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date." Although Utiopia ocean liner is so far a well-written stub, and this proposal has been covered on CNN.com and elsewhere, in the end I think the same principle must apply.  Glenfarclas  ( talk) 00:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply
    • That'd work fine for me. But should probably be taken out a bit before the laying of the keel, depending on the level of publicity surrounding it. Most ships get articles pretty soon after they're formally ordered, not once construction has begun. C628 ( talk) 03:12, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Keep wp:ships has many articles about ships that are not yet under construction. There are also 2 Featured Articles about ships that were never even built. If the construction of this particular ship is canceled then the article should be updated accordingly. There seems to be enough verification of pending construction for this to stand. -- Brad ( talk) 13:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep per DGG and Brad - the project seems fairly notable and I think it appears far enough ahead to be worth an article, if written properly. However, if this article is kept it would probably need at least some rephrasing, but I also think it should be moved to Utopia (cruise ship); if it's anything like The World (which is what it looks like from the website), it will be a cruise ship not an ocean liner.

The result was delete. This is somewhat of a tough call. Prior to MichaelQSchmidt's comment, there was a clear consensus to delete; however, given that there was no further evaluation of the sources, I agree with Tim Song's call to relist the AfD. The relist did not result in any further discussion, so I'm going to go with the current consensus and delete it as apparently non-notable. It's worth noting that although Alison22 was blocked as a sockpuppet, they've not engaged in any vote stacking at this particular AfD; thus, their vote is not inherently problematic and I include it in my final interpretation of the discussion. – Juliancolton |  Talk 03:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Related to this AfD.

The article creator, Indie Movies, is constantly adding (and, in some cases (like this one), readding previously deleted) non-notable films and has been brought up on the conflict of interest noticeboard twice now (the latest showing that the IP may be a sockpuppet), bringing to light that every film is released by Maverick Entertainment Group.

Apparently non-notable. The "references" given in the article are just about macrobiotic diet in general. The "newspaper and magazine articles" section has two dead links, one blog post which quotes the article subject briefly, and one feature article from "an insert within the Portland Pres Herald" – i.e. a Parade magazine-style publication (but more obscure). None of this establishes notability. Googling around finds a few mentions on macrobiotic/cancer survivor blogs, but again nothing that gets this article over the bar. — æk Talk 03:11, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

At the same time, while AfD isn't the right place to bring an article for cleanup issues (not saying the nom did), I'd hope that once an article's here on tenable grounds alternative outcomes are available.

I recently reverted some changes to the religious identity of the family, but it was out of a general tendency to reject unsourced factual changes; given the whole article is unsourced, I'm not sure why I bothered. Keeping a theoretically notable article around is okay if you expect it to be cleaned up over time. When no one has done anything to the article for three months, I consider it grounds for deletion (but not salting, if someone recreates it as a decent stub, that's fine). — ShadowRanger ( talk| stalk) 16:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

delete: although I think this band is notable for being a "supergroup" of some really significant italo disco musicians, there isn't even a page for it on the Italian Wikipedia, which suggests to me that it's less noteworthy than I thought. I'll ask some friends with more pop-music-history knowledge to see if they can beef up this article, but otherwise it should probably go. Luvcraft ( talk) 16:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Delete as per WP:NOTE As with the above, it not being on the italian wikipedia even as a stub leads me to believe that deletion should be carried out.

I nominate this page with WP:NOT in mind. This is simply a list of cemeteries in Slovakia without wikilinks. -- Matthew Glennon ( T/ C\ D) 19:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. The article was written in 2006, and remained virtually untouched for 3 years since. It's possible that one or more of these cemeteries might end up with an article, if sources and historical data can support the idea that the site is notable. But, in this form, there isn't much to go on. I see some name matches on google, but I'm limited in my ability to evaluate non-english sources, unfortunately. I also took the liberty of notifying the original author that the article was at AFD; since they have not edited since 2006, it might not matter except for form's sake.

  • Delete. This is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) for the Python programming language. A tool for computer programmers, in other words. Google News archive hits are an amusing collection of typos on the first several pages. - Smerdis of Tlön ( talk) 16:38, 22 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect and merge to Python (programming language): I've used Boa Constructor. It's got quite a following and it's a standard package on all major Linux distributions, but it doesn't really stand on its own as a notable topic. The Python article could do with this info, though. -- Slashme ( talk) 06:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC) reply
