  • Comment I'm really not the least bit concerned that IMDB does not have much on this person, [1] as A) he appears to have moved away from acting and producing, and B) we all know IMDB is incomplete and considered unreliable. And with respects to Alessandra Napolitano, what they decide to do at fr.Wikipedia is what they do... not what we do... the linked discussion appears to be justavote and devoid of what we would consider policy and guideline based discussion. The google-translated version nomination seems incomplete and whiffs of WP:IDONTLIKE in attitude toward a reality show personality and developer of a website itself the recipient of significant coverage showing notability. So discounting what happens at fr.Wikipedia as immaterial to such discussion at en.Wikipeda, and keeping in mind that en.Wikipedia we apply OUR guidelines and policies and not those of the French, we HERE instead try to determine if we have enough sources available to show a meeting of WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE for his works, even if the sources are non-English, just so long as sources deal with him directly and in some detail. Paris match, Issues 3076-3083 from 2008 speaks about a project involving Dennis Hopper. Kuzeo (September 2010] confirms his part in Nice People, tells us of how he was producer of the first poker show in France, was creator of the tournament when first launched in February 2005, and that he served as Director General of Partouche Interactive until June 2009. He was interviewed by iGame Magazine (September 2010) about PokerXtrem.fr and his role in its creation. Kuzeo (October 2010) also interviewed him about the poker site and his role in its creation and development. Ozap (September 2010) also speaks toward his part in Nice People and his role in creation of PokerXtrem. Numerous other sources also give coverage for his part in the creation of the show and website. (more) And just 4 days ago, Le Figaro (November 2011) offered us more coverage of him in relationship to the poker website and the tournament he created. And from the French article, we also have Le Figaro (June 2009), VSD (April 2004), and Le Parisian (April 2003). How much more coverage does he require to eke over the line from obscurity to being just notable enough for en.Wikipeda through years of in-depth coverage, despite the strange French twists on notability determination and lack of actual discussion? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per individual meeting OUR criteria for inclusion as a French entepreneur who has received significant coverage for his works in multiple secondary sources. With respects to the nominator, what the French do at their Wikipedia, does not dictate what we do here at en.Wikipedia. Here, we use OUR policies and guidelines to discern if we have enough sources dealing directly with him to satisfy OUR notability guidelines. Through my research, I believe OUR criteria are met, and so I've been working on the article... fixing new editor Aesv97's lamentable trans-wiki of the article from fr.Wikipedia by fixing citation format, adding additional sources, correcting errors created by the mis-translation to English, removing hyperbole, and making the whole thing properly encyclopedic per OUR manual of style. What began as a poor copy of the French version, has now become neutral, encyclopdic, and properly sourced. [2] God bless the French, but they use a skewed set of guidelines and policies... similar to but not quite the same as ours... and per OUR policies and guidelines, I think the GNG is now shown as being met.

Of the only three secondary sources currently cited in this article, two make no reference to the film in question but only to a character in the film, and the third is simply a list of film titles. A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films. Neelix ( talk) 22:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: This was a film released nationally in Japan and made its way stateside by means of a Sega CD video game, and it should frankly not matter that the film's protagonist is the subject of the sources in question. The fact of the matter is that some aspect of the film has appeared in reliable sources in the past 3 years, because finding sources regarding the film itself from 1993 is nigh impossible. Due to the age of the film, we must rely on the other criteria set forth by WP:MOVIE to determine the notability, and the fact that its main character is still prevalent in the Japanese media should be enough to show that the film in its original form is notable. I found reliable sources that relate to the film. Why the hell are they not suitable just because they don't happen to directly be about the film, but the film's main character?— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 22:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

This is WP:BLP1E to the letter.

This woman posted a nude picture of herself and “publicly challenged Egypt’s existing social conventions.” That’s hardly a significant event. There has been significant coverage of her in reliable sources but these reliable sources cover the person only in the context of this single event. She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry, so per BLP1E, we not have an article on her. Toddst1 ( talk) 22:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

I disagree. From WP:BLP1E "If the event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented—as in the case of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981—a separate biography may be appropriate. The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.[5]" This event is having a significant impact on the Egyptian election campaign under way. Her role within the event is substantial and well documented. RMCampbell ( talk) 23:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Posting a nude photo of one's self normally wouldn't be a significant occurrence in much of the USA, and nearly all of Europe. But, in the context of Egyptian culture, the international media coverage shows this is, and expressly describe it as a noteworthy event. "She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry" is WP:CRYSTALism. Also, per RMCampbell, the persistence of coverage and political effects show that this person is notable.

Elmahdy's act has inspired solidarity demonstrations in Israel, articles in the Arab media (e.g. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/11/15/177270.html ) some 200 news articles in English [3] and thousands of followers on Twitter. I can't beleive it's even being debated. BobFromBrockley ( talk) 15:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep WP:BLP1E falls under the category of "Presumption in favor of privacy." I would agree with NOM if the subject were requesting removal, but quite the opposite is the case: she seeks to publicize the issue, not to keep it private. Also, this story, as others have noted above, is garnering international news attention (which is how I found this AfD) and factors into a much larger story and movement of note, which is likely to continue growing and becoming progressively more notable. There may come a time for deletion, but that time is not now. -- KGF0 ( T | C ) 09:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Contested redirect. Academic department of questionable notability. Google search on "Department of APECE" "University of Dhaka‎" shows only 7 unique results out of 20 total. No significant coverage from independent sources. MikeWazowski ( talk) 19:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Proper search is requested to you. Google Search on [ Department of APECE University of Dhaka] shows About 1560 Results. Quotation marks you used, gave you fault result. Hope this helps. -- Rashtab ( talk) 19:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Actually, quotation marks in search terms narrow the focus to the specific phrases one is looking for. In discussions like this, the specific searches are more relevant. However, in fairness, since several of your search results use an abbreviation of "Department", I did a search on "Dept. of APECE" "University of Dhaka" and only got 63 unique results - again, outside of primary sources, there is no significant coverage from reliable sources. MikeWazowski ( talk) 19:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Mike, " http://apece.univdhaka.edu/". This is a reliable source.And Google searches aren't actually big factor. Contact Aditya Sir. Contact informations are there at the website -- Rashtab ( talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
No, as the main website for the department, that is a primary source. Please read the reliable sources guidelines. MikeWazowski ( talk) 20:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Another Point, For example, Wikipedia search on Department of Computer Science shows there are wikipages on such articles from Oxford University, Toronto University, Durham University etc. So if this article on APECE Department is being considered to be deleted, all other such articles here at Wikipedia must be considered to be deleted. -- Rashtab ( talk) -- Rashtab ( talk) 20:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for why that is an invalid argument. However, most of the articles you mention have been flagged for various problems, but their notability is not as questionable - a search on "Department of Computer Science" "University of Oxford" shows nearly 249,000 results, while a similar search for Toronto shows 204,000. That's a remarkable difference to this article, which is why it was redirected, and then nominated when you wouldn't accept the redirect. MikeWazowski ( talk) 20:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
You're giving much attention to the Google searches. and the main thing is, the page Department of APECE, University of Dhaka is from a University in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is not so Developed country and the Native language here is Bangla(বাংলা). So, our internet database in English is not that strong. So, Google Search can't give you proper result. And it's not a false article. Come, visit Bangladesh; if you have any doubt. I'm a student of University of Dhaka. -- Rashtab ( talk) 21:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Please don't attribute things to me which I did not say. No one is claiming the article is false, or that the department doesn't exist. The question is whether it's notable enough for its own article. You have yet to offer anything that shows notability - just existence. 21:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete The article contains no claim that this department is doing anything beyond any department in any university. Wikipedia is not the place for placeholders for each year's syllabus on a B.Eng degree.

  • Delete I was going to suggest a redirect to University of Dhaka, as I guess was originally done, but in fact this is an unlikely search term. Anyone looking for this department is going to look under "University of Dhaka", not under "department of...". To User:Rashtab, thank you for your strong feelings. Please don't be discouraged if this article is deleted; Wikipedia has rules for what kind of articles we can have here, see WP:NOTABILITY.

  • Deletebriefly per WP:TOOSOON. Did some searches on this article sourced only to its "official website"... a Facebook page. Seems that distributor The Community Channel has not yet been connected with this project, [5] and adding the creator or country with the title (to hopefully weed out the Al Gore false positives) give results only in non-RS. [6] [7] While the project may well have been created as an answer to the Gore film, reliable sources have not yet decided to take note. [8] Let it come back after actually screening and receiving some coverage. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - you can see the Community Channel's press release at www.jackguest.com - using a facebook page as official website isn't less valid than a stand-alone website. I'm sure you all realise this isn't a fake, and is broadcasting on the community channel, and will be available internationally online from December 10th BTW - The film was called 'a Convenient Truth' up until around 3 weeks ago.

  • Comment As the article is simply WP:TOOSOON, incubation for a few weeks may be a reasonable solution. To reiterate: let it come back after actually screening and receiving some coverage IN RELIABLE SOURCES. If it is not improved while out of mainspace, it will be deleted anyway... and with no fanfare. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply

    Not because it wasn't well written, but because the hoped for reliable sources did not come forward. A "no fanfare" deletion from incubation is based upon artcles there already having been discussed at AFD. The processes in place there give editors time to address issues, but incubation is not to be used as permament strorage for articles that are not improved. We do not maintain unsourcable content in mainspace on expectations or promises of coverage. Places such as the incubator or a user's draft space are where improvements take place for topics that are not yet ready for mainspace. And incubation is intended only as a temporary reprive... where if an article is not corrected to address the concerns of an AFD, it will eventually be deleted. And as for my "experience", I take pride in being able to improve articles that face deletion, and have a decent track record for doing so.... but my rescues are based upon actually having sources, and I do not find them in this case. I understand your angst, and offer a solution that does not mandate immediate deletion. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC) reply
    Thank you for the information Michael, much appreciated :) Here's a brand new article printed in a Swedish newspaper yesterday: http://www.kristianstadsbladet.se/kristianstad/article1580623/Kristianstad-forebild-i-tv-serie-om-miljon.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackGuest ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 25 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Changed from delete per fact that we now have a reliable source that confirms assertions in that article. The film is now verifiable in a secondary independent reliable source to have been completed and set to and screen in a matter weeks. We can let this stay and be improved over time and through regular editing. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC) reply

    Consider it a reprieve. I am aware of all the non-Rs discussing the film, but it was only the actual confirmation of its imminent airing in a reliable source that pushed it just over the top for me. Keep in mind though, that if it does not receive coverage or commentary after it airs, it could likely return to AFD. Just sayin'. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC) reply

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article describes a single protest (disclosure: I moved it from dispute to protest) rather than a dispute. If, at some point in the future, it moves up to the level of a dispute between wikipedia and the BJP, then we could legitimately have an article on that. But, since we don't know if this will have any lasting significance, the current article does not satisfy WP:EVENT. The only point of interest here is that the protest happened at a wikipedia conference and we shouldn't be navel gazing. regentspark ( comment) 13:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Rework and rename to an article on the Restricted Zone (India). While the article is too much bound to a single event, there is an encyclopedic topic hiding in there: the notion of a Restricted Zone that may not be depicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. I could not find this described in any other article, perhaps because I did not know where to look, but I think simply because the content is not there. Given such an article, the protest might well be represented there by a paragraph or two.  -- Lambiam 00:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • I for one am not suggesting a redirect and merge. I am suggesting that there may be room for two or three sentences in another article, done from scratch.

    • I think my main point was that if this is not considered suitable for an article, there should be a redirect - external places already link to this title for attribution at least. Whether the "two or three sentences" are done from scratch or GFDL attributed is pretty much secondary, although I would describe it as a merge in either case.

No established notability. No improvement since May 2011. Toshio Yamaguchi ( talk) 12:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Nothing has changed and that's exactly the problem. Article topics need their notability to be established. None of those articles has done this since the last AfD. These books still fail WP:GNG. None of these books has shown that it satisfies one of the notability criteria for books. I acknowledge that Herta Müller is a praised novelist. However I do not see that she satisfies WP:NBOOK criterion 5. Thus notability of her books need to be established through notability criterion 1. I do not see that any of the books being the subject of the articles I nominated here satisfy this. Furthermore I do not see the point of these articles.

Well, of course you're right, privies have their fascinations, and even almost-entirely-unreferenced articles can have their bottoms wiped. Only thing is, we'd have to chop 98% of the article; and the rest is really just an amateur attempt at Archaeology so a Merge is the only realistic alternative to Delete - and be aware there are THREE similar, overlapping, WP:OR-dense WP:ESSAYs on closely-related topics (read: the same stuff).
So (please take a quick look), we have Dump digging and Historical digging and Privy digging to merge together, and then we most likely need to merge this into one of the carefully-written articles on Archaeology.

  • Comments: Since I am the one who started this AfD, I wanted to reiterate what Chiswick Chap said... there are three of these articles purporting to be about amateur archeology, all of which are essays that I would, at minimum, hack down to a few paragraphs in total. In short this article may have a fine, upstanding basis for an article, but in practice it is rambling mess. I know what can happen when I am an expert on a topic... I tend to ramble. But these rambling articles need to meet a stern and serious attempt at curtailing the fluff and keeping the few gems of encyclopedic content. In other words this article is like a pit full of worthless garbage with three unique bottles of interest hidden. I tire quickly of sorting through someone else's garbage; however, the irony tastes especially keen given this article's topic.

    One of the unfortunate problems is that there is not a respectable article about archeology to which these gems might be set into without a lot of cleaning, polishing, and (metaphorically speaking) hauling off a lot of night soil. I like to saw logs! ( talk) 04:27, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Well, User:Alpha Quadrant may be right, there are a few gems in the THREE ARTICLES, and there are some decent references out there on Google. But I like to saw logs! is right on the amount of WP:OR garbage in all three articles, which still read as WP:ESSAYs.

  • Delete, Merge - well, yes, there really are too many WP:Content forking articles in this WP:Walled Garden about amateur Archaeology - the Garden includes Privy digging, Dump digging, as well as the current article, and clearly this is (at least) two articles too many, so we should consider all of them together. The three articles have been created (Privy digging in October 2009) and have largely been edited by a single user who has edited no other articles since he (I presume) created Historical digging in August 2009. (Dump digging was created by another user but largely taken over since September 2009.) The three articles have very few references between them, and most of the paragraphs (and many whole sections) have no citations at all. There are quite a few (correct) external links wrongly buried in article text: these could be moved to inline citations, but in any case they are not adequate sources for the large amount of WP:ESSAY claims made.

Thank you. The articles, if they are to survive, need to be supported throughout by citations to reliable independent sources (neither Wikipedia nor yourself). The case needs to be made that 'historical digging' is indeed more than just unsupervised amateur archaeology, again by citations. Material that is unsupported needs to be removed. Further, since there appears to be considerable overlap between the articles listed above, and there is currently so little material actually supported by citations, we need to reach consensus on whether there need to be so many articles, whether just one would be better, or indeed if any coverage is needed at all outside major articles like 'Archaeology'.

Comment It can't be a copyvio of a book which is out of copyright... but WP shouldn't contain pure verbatim copies of advertisements, however old. (Of course it could cite and quote such things.)

Keep (or Redirect-with-Merge as new section) - I've done a 'rescue' on this article - a complete rewrite with new sources and a historic quotation. The tree continues to be available on catalogues in Australia and New Zealand, even if it's now rare in the USA where it originated. Hope you now like the result. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 10:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
I appreciate the effort, and I love rescuing articles, but I'm not convinced on this one. Are those sources even talking about the same thing? I suspect they're just describing unrelated cultivars with similar marketing. The article needs a reliable secondary source to connect the dots. Melchoir ( talk) 10:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
thank you. From the sources (and similar ones if anyone needs more) it is clear that a fruit tree hybrid very similar to the 1909 cross is still in existence, along with the name, and the descriptions certainly match up. Unless there are preserved specimens from 1909, however, we'll probably never know exactly what the original hybrid was - but then, that's the same position with dozens of fruit varieties today. all the best Chiswick Chap ( talk) 10:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
The article's current description is: red, large, tastes good, and flesh may be yellow or white. There could be thousands of cultivars that fit that description. Anyway, the Pacific Monthly source doesn't mention color or size. I really think the article is a case of original research. Melchoir ( talk) 11:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
That's not fair, the description is Peach x Plum hybrid (with one site proposing Peach x Apricot, seems like a mistake) with a simple description of the fruit. Of course we can quote more descriptive text if that is what is needed. I've done no OR, everything is by finding, quoting, citing and summarizing sources, which is what we are supposed to do, I believe. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Wait, plums? They're not mentioned in the article or the sources...
The OR is simply in drawing the conclusion that the sources are talking about the same plant. Melchoir ( talk) 12:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
I'm not minded to argue as I feel that Marjaliisa is probably right, this material should be a new section of Peach, so I'd be happy to go for a Merge, really. But since you ask, how does one ever know that when a word is used, it refers to one thing and not another? W.V.O. Quine posed the problem in philosophy, and it has no easy answer. As far as not-quite-ordinary-looking peach-like (or maybe peach variety) trees go, however, if nurserymen call them Peacherines and we can cite them on that, we have to believe them, that's what we do on Wikipedia. Your philosophical servant, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 14:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
It's not such a hard problem for Wikipedia: that's where secondary sources come in. If there were a book that said "The peacherine was developed in 1909 and remains popular in Australia a hundred years later", then that would be the end of it. Melchoir ( talk) 18:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Comment: It says in the article on Peaches that a Nectarine is a kind of Peach, so the Peacherine can't be a Peach/Nectarine hybrid. Maybe merge this with Peach? The Edible Garden ref seems to indicate that a Peach/Apricot hybrid is called a 'Peachcot'. -- Marjaliisa ( talk) 11:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Perhaps that would be appropriate, a new section there; but perhaps we shouldn't assume it is a kind of peach without direct evidence. That can't be right. A Nectarine is a Peach x Plum hybrid, not a type of peach as such. So I think Peacherine is effectively a back-cross, we can hunt for evidence if that is needed. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to a new section of Peach. I really appreciate the work that Chiswick Chap has done, and find the whole subject interesting. However, at this point, all four of the sources in the article are promotional advertisements selling something marketed as a "Peacherine". One is a 1909 magazine ad and three are contemporary plant sales websites. None are reliable, independent sources needed to establish notability for a freestanding article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Fair enough, I can live with that, but I think the sources are sufficient to demonstrate existence of the variety for a new Section of Peach, so I'm suggesting a Merge as well as Redirect (I've struck my 'Keep' above). Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:15, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply

"The ensemble's repertoire included colourful numbers such as wartime songs "Just War", "Song of the Soviet Army" and Russian songs well known to the Koreans". So, its well known to the Koreans. It was part of the official Victory in Europe celebration, and become a popular war song after that.

Move material. Delete this article which tries to introduce into English a Japanese word, unnecessary to understand the topic. Article fails to demonstrate sufficient English notability for this word. This can be explained as a practice to uncover Christians by demanding that they step on an icon of Jesus or Mary. Or induce Christians to refrain from what they thought was sacrilege. Student7 ( talk) 00:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Move where, pray tell? This isn't a Japanese word for a standard English concept - there is no equivalent because it is a specifically Japanese concept, and one mentioned in most accounts of the Christian purges. Take a look in Google Books and see how often they are discussed (they are a preoccupation of Endo Shusaku, for example). -- Gwern (contribs) 00:53 21 November 2011 (GMT)
  • Keep – Easily passes WP:GNG. Did you even check book results? And it's not that it's "trying to introduce" anything into English; it's that we don't have the term "step-on-picture," and all scholarship mentioning its use leaves it untranslated. JFHJr ( ㊟) 00:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

No assertion of notability within the article, and research doesn't turn up much other than his own publications.

  1. This article is quite similar to the original EHCP article, which was deleted with deletion upheld at review.
  2. It is overly promotional in its tone, which is normally an addressable issue. However, in this case there are practically no third-party sources to go on to get an honest evaluation of the product, bringing me to my next point.
  3. The product is not notable due to its lack of coverage in secondary and tertiary sources. According to WP:PRIMARY, secondary sources should be used to establish notability. There appear to be none, so the product can be deemed not worthy of mention in Wikipedia.
  4. No reliable sources not directly affiliated with EHCP have been found. According to WP:RS, blogs and forums not reliable.

EHCP's wikipedia entry contains nothing but truthful information.

—  Earnolmartin

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Verifiability

All of those features exist in his software, and you may download and test it yourself.

—  Earnolmartin

Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:No original research

Great software, and the article should stay.

—  Earnolmartin

Wikipedia editors are a pretty diverse group of individuals, and potentially, any subject or topic may be liked or disliked by some editor somewhere. However, personal preference is not a valid reason to keep or delete an article.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions

Also, you can verify that we use EHCP by using the following link: http://ns3.webehostin.com (see the EHCP logo)?

—  Earnolmartin

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Notability

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

—  Chris

Please define reliable. There is no better source of information than from first parties (people who use the software). That is how it's always been. Why should a third party be deemed more reliable than users? This leads to problem as the rich control the media. They don't like projects like these which threaten the establishment... IE CPanel charging people to use open source tools. Would it be OK if I started a website and left a review for EHCP? Would that be considered a reliable source? Would that then keep the page from deletion? You don't need published sources to verify content. I've proven myself as a user; thus, I can vouch for the page.

Less then 5000 hits together on the English (740), Spanish (3770) and Portugese (77) names of this organisation. Still a severe doubt of notability about this organisation that unites small island groups and native tribes as "federations". Night of the Big Wind talk 11:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Coverage of this organization is limited to a singular reference to Huffington Post, and Google News returns no results. The weight of the two presidential awards appear insignificant, as the Daily Point of Light Award has been given to over 1,000 community groups and the Obama award has over 2,000,000 recipients. Due to its lone source in the Huffington Post, the subject fails WP:CORP#Primary_criteria, criteria 2 and both additional considerations of WP:NONPROFIT, and WP:GNG. Vanadus ( talk | contribs) 20:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Looking into Kids Change the World, it has many awards if you look closely, including awards from Prudential Financial, the Nestle USA (2011), and has even had influence at the United Nations. They have even funded thousands of dollars of lung cancer research and provided thousands of cleft surgeries in overseas countries. Most uniquely of all, this is a youth-led nonprofit, not like most other nonprofits that are adult-led. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Familytreeusa ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 14 November 2011 (UTC) — Familytreeusa ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
Comment We need reliable sources to prove these claims. No offense, but it's easy to claim that not many groups are youth-led or that they've had influence at the UN, but we need reliable sources to prove that these are real or exemplary enough to merit an article. For example, I could claim that NASA has sent a pony into space, but I'd have to provide sources in order to prove that it actually happened and that the experiment was noteworthy enough to be included on Wikipedia. A silly example, but the premise in both situations is exactly the same: you need reliable sources to prove notability and all claims. Please see WP:RS to verify what is considered reliable sources. Coming on and saying that the group has done this or that and saying "keep" does not prove notability. This is not decided by a vote.

  • Delete I was unable to find any additional sourcing outside of that provided in the article. The organization is mentioned a few times in the HuffPost article, but certainly nothing constituting significant coverage. Furthermore, let's look at these awards in terms of why they are given, as opposed to how many people they are awarded to:
  • Community needs and solution — Activity must meet a community need or concern and serve those who are disconnected from the larger community.
  • Connections building — Hands-on service that results in building connections between the community and those who may be isolated from it.
  • Ongoing involvement — To be eligible, an activity should be at least six months in duration. One exception is the category of disaster relief. Nominations that do not meet these criteria may be held for later consideration.
  • Impact — Demonstrated real impact from the activity. How many funds were raised? How many people were impacted by the nominee's service?
  • Innovation — Activity should reflect innovative or unique approaches to solving serious social problems.
From that perspective, the Points of Light Award actually seems decently predictive of notability. However, there really isn't any coverage of the organizations activities per WP:NONPROFIT or WP:ORG, and no general coverage of the organization per WP:GNG. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Saying things show up in Google doesn't bestow notability. Showing links to reliable sources ( WP:RS) shows notability. Also, that recognition might not grant notability unless it was in a situation where it received notable news coverage and that recognition was given because of work done for the organization. If it's for something that they did outside of the KCTW, then that doesn't count because notability isn't inherited from the people who run or support the company. In other words, the recognition would have to be pretty special to give notability. I want to again emphasize that you need to show reliable sources. This is not decided on a vote- it's decided on the weight of the arguments that each person presents. In other words, signing up for an account just to vote on this debate (without giving reliable sources to back yourself up) doesn't really accomplish anything.(Not trying to be mean, just trying to make sure that you know how the AfD process works.)

  • Delete. I held off on voting and did some searching, but couldn't find anything to show notability for the company.

  • Delete. Merge/redirect, per Arxilos below. Ghits seem to turn up primary sources or small routine gig listings where copy is mostly drawn from their press kit. Please also beware of false positives: the name seems to have used for a couple of different entertainers and projects in the US, including an unrelated early 80's tribute band with a young Dweezil Zappa. Working at it the other way, it did seem to be easy to find sources and even video of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page praising other tribute bands, such as Dread Zeppelin and Letz Zep. Fails WP:GNG for lack of substantial coverage by reliable sources. -- Hobbes Goodyear ( talk) 10:54, 18 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I'm really not the least bit concerned that IMDB does not have much on this person, [1] as A) he appears to have moved away from acting and producing, and B) we all know IMDB is incomplete and considered unreliable. And with respects to Alessandra Napolitano, what they decide to do at fr.Wikipedia is what they do... not what we do... the linked discussion appears to be justavote and devoid of what we would consider policy and guideline based discussion. The google-translated version nomination seems incomplete and whiffs of WP:IDONTLIKE in attitude toward a reality show personality and developer of a website itself the recipient of significant coverage showing notability. So discounting what happens at fr.Wikipedia as immaterial to such discussion at en.Wikipeda, and keeping in mind that en.Wikipedia we apply OUR guidelines and policies and not those of the French, we HERE instead try to determine if we have enough sources available to show a meeting of WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE for his works, even if the sources are non-English, just so long as sources deal with him directly and in some detail. Paris match, Issues 3076-3083 from 2008 speaks about a project involving Dennis Hopper. Kuzeo (September 2010] confirms his part in Nice People, tells us of how he was producer of the first poker show in France, was creator of the tournament when first launched in February 2005, and that he served as Director General of Partouche Interactive until June 2009. He was interviewed by iGame Magazine (September 2010) about PokerXtrem.fr and his role in its creation. Kuzeo (October 2010) also interviewed him about the poker site and his role in its creation and development. Ozap (September 2010) also speaks toward his part in Nice People and his role in creation of PokerXtrem. Numerous other sources also give coverage for his part in the creation of the show and website. (more) And just 4 days ago, Le Figaro (November 2011) offered us more coverage of him in relationship to the poker website and the tournament he created. And from the French article, we also have Le Figaro (June 2009), VSD (April 2004), and Le Parisian (April 2003). How much more coverage does he require to eke over the line from obscurity to being just notable enough for en.Wikipeda through years of in-depth coverage, despite the strange French twists on notability determination and lack of actual discussion? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per individual meeting OUR criteria for inclusion as a French entepreneur who has received significant coverage for his works in multiple secondary sources. With respects to the nominator, what the French do at their Wikipedia, does not dictate what we do here at en.Wikipedia. Here, we use OUR policies and guidelines to discern if we have enough sources dealing directly with him to satisfy OUR notability guidelines. Through my research, I believe OUR criteria are met, and so I've been working on the article... fixing new editor Aesv97's lamentable trans-wiki of the article from fr.Wikipedia by fixing citation format, adding additional sources, correcting errors created by the mis-translation to English, removing hyperbole, and making the whole thing properly encyclopedic per OUR manual of style. What began as a poor copy of the French version, has now become neutral, encyclopdic, and properly sourced. [2] God bless the French, but they use a skewed set of guidelines and policies... similar to but not quite the same as ours... and per OUR policies and guidelines, I think the GNG is now shown as being met.

Of the only three secondary sources currently cited in this article, two make no reference to the film in question but only to a character in the film, and the third is simply a list of film titles. A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films. Neelix ( talk) 22:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: This was a film released nationally in Japan and made its way stateside by means of a Sega CD video game, and it should frankly not matter that the film's protagonist is the subject of the sources in question. The fact of the matter is that some aspect of the film has appeared in reliable sources in the past 3 years, because finding sources regarding the film itself from 1993 is nigh impossible. Due to the age of the film, we must rely on the other criteria set forth by WP:MOVIE to determine the notability, and the fact that its main character is still prevalent in the Japanese media should be enough to show that the film in its original form is notable. I found reliable sources that relate to the film. Why the hell are they not suitable just because they don't happen to directly be about the film, but the film's main character?— Ryulong ( 竜龙) 22:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

This is WP:BLP1E to the letter.

This woman posted a nude picture of herself and “publicly challenged Egypt’s existing social conventions.” That’s hardly a significant event. There has been significant coverage of her in reliable sources but these reliable sources cover the person only in the context of this single event. She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry, so per BLP1E, we not have an article on her. Toddst1 ( talk) 22:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

I disagree. From WP:BLP1E "If the event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented—as in the case of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981—a separate biography may be appropriate.

But, in the context of Egyptian culture, the international media coverage shows this is, and expressly describe it as a noteworthy event. "She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry" is WP:CRYSTALism. Also, per RMCampbell, the persistence of coverage and political effects show that this person is notable.

Elmahdy's act has inspired solidarity demonstrations in Israel, articles in the Arab media (e.g. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/11/15/177270.html ) some 200 news articles in English [3] and thousands of followers on Twitter.

I would agree with NOM if the subject were requesting removal, but quite the opposite is the case: she seeks to publicize the issue, not to keep it private. Also, this story, as others have noted above, is garnering international news attention (which is how I found this AfD) and factors into a much larger story and movement of note, which is likely to continue growing and becoming progressively more notable.

Actually, quotation marks in search terms narrow the focus to the specific phrases one is looking for. In discussions like this, the specific searches are more relevant. However, in fairness, since several of your search results use an abbreviation of "Department", I did a search on "Dept. of APECE" "University of Dhaka" and only got 63 unique results - again, outside of primary sources, there is no significant coverage from reliable sources.

Another Point, For example, Wikipedia search on Department of Computer Science shows there are wikipages on such articles from Oxford University, Toronto University, Durham University etc. So if this article on APECE Department is being considered to be deleted, all other such articles here at Wikipedia must be considered to be deleted. -- Rashtab ( talk) -- Rashtab ( talk) 20:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for why that is an invalid argument. However, most of the articles you mention have been flagged for various problems, but their notability is not as questionable - a search on "Department of Computer Science" "University of Oxford" shows nearly 249,000 results, while a similar search for Toronto shows 204,000. That's a remarkable difference to this article, which is why it was redirected, and then nominated when you wouldn't accept the redirect. MikeWazowski ( talk) 20:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
You're giving much attention to the Google searches. and the main thing is, the page Department of APECE, University of Dhaka is from a University in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is not so Developed country and the Native language here is Bangla(বাংলা). So, our internet database in English is not that strong. So, Google Search can't give you proper result.

Please don't attribute things to me which I did not say. No one is claiming the article is false, or that the department doesn't exist.

    Not because it wasn't well written, but because the hoped for reliable sources did not come forward. A "no fanfare" deletion from incubation is based upon artcles there already having been discussed at AFD. The processes in place there give editors time to address issues, but incubation is not to be used as permament strorage for articles that are not improved. We do not maintain unsourcable content in mainspace on expectations or promises of coverage. Places such as the incubator or a user's draft space are where improvements take place for topics that are not yet ready for mainspace. And incubation is intended only as a temporary reprive... where if an article is not corrected to address the concerns of an AFD, it will eventually be deleted. And as for my "experience", I take pride in being able to improve articles that face deletion, and have a decent track record for doing so.... but my rescues are based upon actually having sources, and I do not find them in this case. I understand your angst, and offer a solution that does not mandate immediate deletion. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC) reply

BJP youth wing protest against Wikipedia's map of India

BJP youth wing protest against Wikipedia's map of India (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article describes a single protest (disclosure: I moved it from dispute to protest) rather than a dispute. If, at some point in the future, it moves up to the level of a dispute between wikipedia and the BJP, then we could legitimately have an article on that. But, since we don't know if this will have any lasting significance, the current article does not satisfy WP:EVENT. The only point of interest here is that the protest happened at a wikipedia conference and we shouldn't be navel gazing. regentspark ( comment) 13:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Rework and rename to an article on the Restricted Zone (India). While the article is too much bound to a single event, there is an encyclopedic topic hiding in there: the notion of a Restricted Zone that may not be depicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. I could not find this described in any other article, perhaps because I did not know where to look, but I think simply because the content is not there. Given such an article, the protest might well be represented there by a paragraph or two.  -- Lambiam 00:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • I for one am not suggesting a redirect and merge. I am suggesting that there may be room for two or three sentences in another article, done from scratch.

BTW, I got "told off" for adding the Censorship in India category to the thing, although it seems pretty obvious to me. - Sitush ( talk) 19:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply
    • I think my main point was that if this is not considered suitable for an article, there should be a redirect - external places already link to this title for attribution at least. Whether the "two or three sentences" are done from scratch or GFDL attributed is pretty much secondary, although I would describe it as a merge in either case.

No established notability. No improvement since May 2011. Toshio Yamaguchi ( talk) 12:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Nothing has changed and that's exactly the problem. Article topics need their notability to be established. None of those articles has done this since the last AfD. These books still fail WP:GNG. None of these books has shown that it satisfies one of the notability criteria for books. I acknowledge that Herta Müller is a praised novelist. However I do not see that she satisfies WP:NBOOK criterion 5. Thus notability of her books need to be established through notability criterion 1. I do not see that any of the books being the subject of the articles I nominated here satisfy this. Furthermore I do not see the point of these articles. What information do these articles convey that the list of works at Herta Müller#Works does not? As I see it these articles are just content forks.

Those obits do describe him as "one of the most recognizable people in Springfield", "the Walter Cronkite of central Illinois", etc. But there should have been more coverage during his lifetime if he was truly notable.

Well, of course you're right, privies have their fascinations, and even almost-entirely-unreferenced articles can have their bottoms wiped. Only thing is, we'd have to chop 98% of the article; and the rest is really just an amateur attempt at Archaeology so a Merge is the only realistic alternative to Delete - and be aware there are THREE similar, overlapping, WP:OR-dense WP:ESSAYs on closely-related topics (read: the same stuff).
So (please take a quick look), we have Dump digging and Historical digging and Privy digging to merge together, and then we most likely need to merge this into one of the carefully-written articles on Archaeology. Really want to keep all three? I doubt it. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 07:32, 22 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Comments: Since I am the one who started this AfD, I wanted to reiterate what Chiswick Chap said... there are three of these articles purporting to be about amateur archeology, all of which are essays that I would, at minimum, hack down to a few paragraphs in total. In short this article may have a fine, upstanding basis for an article, but in practice it is rambling mess. I know what can happen when I am an expert on a topic... I tend to ramble. But these rambling articles need to meet a stern and serious attempt at curtailing the fluff and keeping the few gems of encyclopedic content. In other words this article is like a pit full of worthless garbage with three unique bottles of interest hidden. I tire quickly of sorting through someone else's garbage; however, the irony tastes especially keen given this article's topic.

    One of the unfortunate problems is that there is not a respectable article about archeology to which these gems might be set into without a lot of cleaning, polishing, and (metaphorically speaking) hauling off a lot of night soil. I like to saw logs! ( talk) 04:27, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Well, User:Alpha Quadrant may be right, there are a few gems in the THREE ARTICLES, and there are some decent references out there on Google. But I like to saw logs! is right on the amount of WP:OR garbage in all three articles, which still read as WP:ESSAYs.

  • Delete, Merge - well, yes, there really are too many WP:Content forking articles in this WP:Walled Garden about amateur Archaeology - the Garden includes Privy digging, Dump digging, as well as the current article, and clearly this is (at least) two articles too many, so we should consider all of them together. The three articles have been created (Privy digging in October 2009) and have largely been edited by a single user who has edited no other articles since he (I presume) created Historical digging in August 2009. (Dump digging was created by another user but largely taken over since September 2009.) The three articles have very few references between them, and most of the paragraphs (and many whole sections) have no citations at all.

You are correct Chiswick Chap as I only work on articles on which I have knowledge and interest. If you would like to suggest some constructive feedback for what needs to be accomplished I will attempt to address your concerns.
Thank you. The articles, if they are to survive, need to be supported throughout by citations to reliable independent sources (neither Wikipedia nor yourself). The case needs to be made that 'historical digging' is indeed more than just unsupervised amateur archaeology, again by citations. Material that is unsupported needs to be removed. Further, since there appears to be considerable overlap between the articles listed above, and there is currently so little material actually supported by citations, we need to reach consensus on whether there need to be so many articles, whether just one would be better, or indeed if any coverage is needed at all outside major articles like 'Archaeology'.

There’s always room for improvement and as a primary contributor and someone who has worked extensively in this field, along with privy digging, dump digging, and a wide variety of hands on landfill research, I look forward to working together to improve this article on all levels.

Proposed deletion removed. This is a copy of a 1908 advertisement: The Pacific monthly, Volume 21, p. PA552-IA22, at Google Books. The word "peacherine" doesn't appear to be in general use.

Comment It can't be a copyvio of a book which is out of copyright... but WP shouldn't contain pure verbatim copies of advertisements, however old. (Of course it could cite and quote such things.) Google shows the term does exist, so the article could be rescued. I'll have a quick look for decent sources. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 09:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Keep (or Redirect-with-Merge as new section) - I've done a 'rescue' on this article - a complete rewrite with new sources and a historic quotation. The tree continues to be available on catalogues in Australia and New Zealand, even if it's now rare in the USA where it originated. Hope you now like the result. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 10:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
I appreciate the effort, and I love rescuing articles, but I'm not convinced on this one. Are those sources even talking about the same thing? I suspect they're just describing unrelated cultivars with similar marketing. The article needs a reliable secondary source to connect the dots. Melchoir ( talk) 10:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
thank you. From the sources (and similar ones if anyone needs more) it is clear that a fruit tree hybrid very similar to the 1909 cross is still in existence, along with the name, and the descriptions certainly match up. Unless there are preserved specimens from 1909, however, we'll probably never know exactly what the original hybrid was - but then, that's the same position with dozens of fruit varieties today. all the best Chiswick Chap ( talk) 10:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
The article's current description is: red, large, tastes good, and flesh may be yellow or white. There could be thousands of cultivars that fit that description. Anyway, the Pacific Monthly source doesn't mention color or size. I really think the article is a case of original research. Melchoir ( talk) 11:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
That's not fair, the description is Peach x Plum hybrid (with one site proposing Peach x Apricot, seems like a mistake) with a simple description of the fruit. Of course we can quote more descriptive text if that is what is needed. I've done no OR, everything is by finding, quoting, citing and summarizing sources, which is what we are supposed to do, I believe. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Wait, plums? They're not mentioned in the article or the sources...
The OR is simply in drawing the conclusion that the sources are talking about the same plant. Melchoir ( talk) 12:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
I'm not minded to argue as I feel that Marjaliisa is probably right, this material should be a new section of Peach, so I'd be happy to go for a Merge, really. But since you ask, how does one ever know that when a word is used, it refers to one thing and not another? W.V.O. Quine posed the problem in philosophy, and it has no easy answer. As far as not-quite-ordinary-looking peach-like (or maybe peach variety) trees go, however, if nurserymen call them Peacherines and we can cite them on that, we have to believe them, that's what we do on Wikipedia. Your philosophical servant, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 14:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
It's not such a hard problem for Wikipedia: that's where secondary sources come in. If there were a book that said "The peacherine was developed in 1909 and remains popular in Australia a hundred years later", then that would be the end of it. Melchoir ( talk) 18:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Comment: It says in the article on Peaches that a Nectarine is a kind of Peach, so the Peacherine can't be a Peach/Nectarine hybrid. Maybe merge this with Peach? The Edible Garden ref seems to indicate that a Peach/Apricot hybrid is called a 'Peachcot'. -- Marjaliisa ( talk) 11:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Perhaps that would be appropriate, a new section there; but perhaps we shouldn't assume it is a kind of peach without direct evidence. That can't be right. A Nectarine is a Peach x Plum hybrid, not a type of peach as such. So I think Peacherine is effectively a back-cross, we can hunt for evidence if that is needed. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to a new section of Peach. I really appreciate the work that Chiswick Chap has done, and find the whole subject interesting. However, at this point, all four of the sources in the article are promotional advertisements selling something marketed as a "Peacherine". One is a 1909 magazine ad and three are contemporary plant sales websites. None are reliable, independent sources needed to establish notability for a freestanding article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
Fair enough, I can live with that, but I think the sources are sufficient to demonstrate existence of the variety for a new Section of Peach, so I'm suggesting a Merge as well as Redirect (I've struck my 'Keep' above). Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:15, 23 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Move material. Delete this article which tries to introduce into English a Japanese word, unnecessary to understand the topic. Article fails to demonstrate sufficient English notability for this word. This can be explained as a practice to uncover Christians by demanding that they step on an icon of Jesus or Mary. Or induce Christians to refrain from what they thought was sacrilege. Student7 ( talk) 00:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Move where, pray tell? This isn't a Japanese word for a standard English concept - there is no equivalent because it is a specifically Japanese concept, and one mentioned in most accounts of the Christian purges. Take a look in Google Books and see how often they are discussed (they are a preoccupation of Endo Shusaku, for example). -- Gwern (contribs) 00:53 21 November 2011 (GMT)

Totally a non-notable fictional character of the notable soap opera among people outside of the soap-opera dedications, including casual viewers and casual Wikipedians who have never typed this character's name on the search board. Could not find reliable sources in Google to prove her supposed notability in the real world, and I don't think this fictional person has ever been mentioned in print publications, including periodicals and academic journals.

  1. This article is quite similar to the original EHCP article, which was deleted with deletion upheld at review.
  2. It is overly promotional in its tone, which is normally an addressable issue. However, in this case there are practically no third-party sources to go on to get an honest evaluation of the product, bringing me to my next point.
  3. The product is not notable due to its lack of coverage in secondary and tertiary sources. According to WP:PRIMARY, secondary sources should be used to establish notability. There appear to be none, so the product can be deemed not worthy of mention in Wikipedia.
  4. No reliable sources not directly affiliated with EHCP have been found. According to WP:RS, blogs and forums not reliable.

EHCP's wikipedia entry contains nothing but truthful information.

—  Earnolmartin

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Verifiability

All of those features exist in his software, and you may download and test it yourself.

—  Earnolmartin

Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:No original research

Great software, and the article should stay.

—  Earnolmartin

Wikipedia editors are a pretty diverse group of individuals, and potentially, any subject or topic may be liked or disliked by some editor somewhere. However, personal preference is not a valid reason to keep or delete an article.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions

Also, you can verify that we use EHCP by using the following link: http://ns3.webehostin.com (see the EHCP logo)?

—  Earnolmartin

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.

— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Notability

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

—  Chris

Please define reliable. There is no better source of information than from first parties (people who use the software). That is how it's always been. Why should a third party be deemed more reliable than users? This leads to problem as the rich control the media. They don't like projects like these which threaten the establishment... IE CPanel charging people to use open source tools. Would it be OK if I started a website and left a review for EHCP? Would that be considered a reliable source? Would that then keep the page from deletion? You don't need published sources to verify content. I've proven myself as a user; thus, I can vouch for the page.

Coverage of this organization is limited to a singular reference to Huffington Post, and Google News returns no results. The weight of the two presidential awards appear insignificant, as the Daily Point of Light Award has been given to over 1,000 community groups and the Obama award has over 2,000,000 recipients. Due to its lone source in the Huffington Post, the subject fails WP:CORP#Primary_criteria, criteria 2 and both additional considerations of WP:NONPROFIT, and WP:GNG. Vanadus ( talk | contribs) 20:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Looking into Kids Change the World, it has many awards if you look closely, including awards from Prudential Financial, the Nestle USA (2011), and has even had influence at the United Nations. They have even funded thousands of dollars of lung cancer research and provided thousands of cleft surgeries in overseas countries. Most uniquely of all, this is a youth-led nonprofit, not like most other nonprofits that are adult-led. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Familytreeusa ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 14 November 2011 (UTC) — Familytreeusa ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
Comment We need reliable sources to prove these claims. No offense, but it's easy to claim that not many groups are youth-led or that they've had influence at the UN, but we need reliable sources to prove that these are real or exemplary enough to merit an article. For example, I could claim that NASA has sent a pony into space, but I'd have to provide sources in order to prove that it actually happened and that the experiment was noteworthy enough to be included on Wikipedia. A silly example, but the premise in both situations is exactly the same: you need reliable sources to prove notability and all claims. Please see WP:RS to verify what is considered reliable sources. Coming on and saying that the group has done this or that and saying "keep" does not prove notability. This is not decided by a vote.

  • Delete I was unable to find any additional sourcing outside of that provided in the article. The organization is mentioned a few times in the HuffPost article, but certainly nothing constituting significant coverage. Furthermore, let's look at these awards in terms of why they are given, as opposed to how many people they are awarded to:
  • Community needs and solution — Activity must meet a community need or concern and serve those who are disconnected from the larger community.
  • Connections building — Hands-on service that results in building connections between the community and those who may be isolated from it.
  • Ongoing involvement — To be eligible, an activity should be at least six months in duration. One exception is the category of disaster relief. Nominations that do not meet these criteria may be held for later consideration.
  • Impact — Demonstrated real impact from the activity. How many funds were raised? How many people were impacted by the nominee's service?
  • Innovation — Activity should reflect innovative or unique approaches to solving serious social problems.
From that perspective, the Points of Light Award actually seems decently predictive of notability. However, there really isn't any coverage of the organizations activities per WP:NONPROFIT or WP:ORG, and no general coverage of the organization per WP:GNG. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Saying things show up in Google doesn't bestow notability. Showing links to reliable sources ( WP:RS) shows notability. Also, that recognition might not grant notability unless it was in a situation where it received notable news coverage and that recognition was given because of work done for the organization. If it's for something that they did outside of the KCTW, then that doesn't count because notability isn't inherited from the people who run or support the company. In other words, the recognition would have to be pretty special to give notability. I want to again emphasize that you need to show reliable sources. This is not decided on a vote- it's decided on the weight of the arguments that each person presents. In other words, signing up for an account just to vote on this debate (without giving reliable sources to back yourself up) doesn't really accomplish anything.(Not trying to be mean, just trying to make sure that you know how the AfD process works.)
