This article about a film actor was started in 2007, but in 2009 was vandalised by two IPs who introduced a lot of silly nonsense. No-one noticed (except that later that year IPs tried to blank it, but were reverted) until recently it was tagged for deletion as a hoax. Having restored the last good version, I checked to see whether the subject's career had progressed since then, but it seems not, see IMDb. I can't find any trace of "The Bond 2", Cheers Butt Productions doesn't seem to have done anything since 2006 and their website says "The company at this present time is not creating any films". The top four entries here are about him, but the first one is a deadlink and the others don't show any significant or recent activity. This does not meet the notability standard of WP:NACTOR.

Notability not yet established in accordance with WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. It appears that the films involved minor roles, rather than significant ones.

Cindy( talk to me) 06:17, 11 November 2012 (UTC) reply
In Attack The Block and My Brother's Keeper (Or How Not To Survive The Apocalypse) he had leading roles also his appearences in Casualty were quite significant, as his story arc took place over two episodes. And in Payback Season he may not of been a main character but his role wasn't minor. I can find other sources to provide the same information other then IMDb and the source that doesn't mention him was used as a source for the release date of a film. - SayPeanuts ( talk) 14:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Dirtlawyer1, Here's what I did pick up. He meets this criteria: Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. He has been covered by ESPN, multiple major city newspapers, etc... If you do not feel these sources should be considered “multiple, independent, reliable sources”, that's fine. We all have our opinions. I’m just not sure where you would go to find coverage that is considered “multiple, independent, and reliable” in the United States outside of these sources. Please keep in mind, American college athletics are mostly covered by U.S. media sources. Those with knowledge of college athletics would most assuredly agree that ESPN is one of the leaders if not the leader of college sports coverage. Major city newspapers aren’t too far behind ESPN and are considered by many to be on the same level. Here's what I also picked up. There are many assistant coaches and head coaches already on Wikipedia that don't come close to having Rebowe's credentials on the high school or college level. A very small percentage of football players make the NFL. If you closely read Rebowe’s article, you will see that he coached a pretty sizeable amount of players who made the NFL. I have also previously mentioned that I am very well qualified to judge notability when it comes to college football. If you see me commenting on legal issues, please feel free to question my credentials. I have little to no expertise in that field. Spatms ( talk) 23:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC). reply

This subject has absolutely no notability at all by Wikipedia's notability standards. Two references are cited. I have downloaded a copy of the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCoursey. It does not mention "Golgi voltage gates" anywhere. In fact, it does not mention the word "Golgi", nor either "voltage gates" or "voltage gate". The other paper is not available for free, but the abstract makes no mention of this concept, so if it is mentioned it is unlikely to be central to the paper. A Google scholar search for "Golgi voltage gates" produced nothing at all. A general Google search produced nothing at all except this Wikipedia article and pages derived from it either on Wikipedia or on other wikis. (E.g. "Articles lacking sources from December 2012" on Speedy deletion Wiki.) Thus the best we have is a single research article which may or may not mention the topic, and if it does mention it does not give it substantial enough coverage for it to be mentioned in the abstract. We certainly do not have the substantial coverage in multiple third party reliable sources that are needed to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I have also searched for other concepts referred to in the article, such as "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", and found nothing at all except in Wikipedia and mirrors of Wikipedia pages. The article was once nominated for speedy deletion as a hoax, and the complete impossibility of finding any mention at all anywhere of either the subject of the article or any of several concepts mentioned in the article is very surprising, and raises the possibility that the characterisation as a hoax may be correct. The article cites the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCourse as a source for the statement "The mechanism for the attachment of a vesicle to a Golgi Voltage Gate is known as the GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", but that paper does not mention "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", nor even "GVG-Vesicle" or "Co-joining". At best we have a concept mentioned in one research paper that does not show up in Google scholar or anywhere else as far as I can make out. At worst, and in my opinion far more likely, we have a hoax. A PROD was removed by the author of the article. The article was created by a single purpose editor with no edits not related to this topic. Another single purpose editor who has also edited this article wrote on the talk page "Just because this is a fresh area of biochemical research, please don't assume its falsity."

Article about a band from Seattle that was PRODed (which I endorsed) and contested without comment. At first light the references seem impressive but upon closer inspection they seem mostly self-generated, or basically the same content copied from one site to another, along with the usual facebook/twitter/youtube/soundcloud links. The claims about being in rotation on Sirius XM are unsourced and unverifiable as far as I can see, and I'm not entirely sure being featured in gyms could establish notability. The other claim is being featured in some kind of contest on Myx TV, however as far as I can tell this is not even over yet and there is no indication that they have actually won or been recognized for anything. About the only remotely notable third-party mention is this, however this is not a review or even the Seattle Weekly proper; it's just a six-line entry in a local event blog mentioning them (which I suppose makes sense since they're from Seattle). This is interestingly elaborate, but still fails WP:BAND at least, and certainly WP:GNG.

I want to clarify that while it would appear that I created the original article, what I created wasn't about this person — rather, there's a massive procedural error lurking in the edit history. What I created, in fact, was the article that's now sitting at Bill Belsey (politician) — but sometime in 2011, Bill Belsey the educator seems to have violated WP:COI by rewriting the article to be about himself, with the politician left at the bottom as an afterthought even though he's the more notable of the two per our current inclusion rules. And then sometime this year, another Wikipedia user spun the politician off into a new article and left the educator in the original one, then moved the original to this title and converted the plain title to a dab page — thus breaking the edit history, because my original edits about the politician are now attached to this title instead of the one which contains the content that I actually posted.
The educator's article, for the record, is clearly not consistent with our current standards around the use of reliable sources, and thus cannot be kept in its current form — while it's certainly possible that he might qualify for a properly written article that makes proper use of reliable sources, he is clearly not entitled to keep this spammy, COI-violating version. Accordingly, it's a clear delete — however, because of the process error, it will need to be handled as follows so that the edits that pertain to the original version are properly attached to the correct topic:

This is a bit of a tricky case where there are valid arguments on both sides, so I thought it best to bring it here for discussion and consensus rather than simply imposing anything arbitrarily. The situation is that she was elected to the
New Hampshire House of Representatives last month, earning the distinction of becoming the first out
transgender person ever elected to a state legislature in the
United States — however, she had previously been convicted of a crime and faced some controversy due to conflicting interpretations of whether she had fulfilled the necessary discharge conditions to be eligible to run for election, and thus opted to resign the seat before actually taking office.
So the dilemma is this: while the distinction of being the first transgender person to win a state-level election in the US technically still holds regardless of whether she actually assumed the office or not afterward, it also presents potential
WP:BLP problems (privacy, BLP1E, revealing a transgender person's prior name, etc.) for us to actually have a standalone article about her — we also, for instance, have the alternative of simply listing her name in relevant articles without linking to an independent article, thus avoiding content that would actually get into too much biographical detail about her.
I was the article's original creator, before the fit hit the shan, so I don't know what the right solution is here and won't express a preference — but there should be some discussion of whether we should keep or delete this nonetheless.

No-one noticed (except that later that year IPs tried to blank it, but were reverted) until recently it was tagged for deletion as a hoax. Having restored the last good version, I checked to see whether the subject's career had progressed since then, but it seems not, see IMDb.

Dirtlawyer1, Here's what I did pick up. He meets this criteria: Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. He has been covered by ESPN, multiple major city newspapers, etc... If you do not feel these sources should be considered “multiple, independent, reliable sources”, that's fine. We all have our opinions. I’m just not sure where you would go to find coverage that is considered “multiple, independent, and reliable” in the United States outside of these sources. Please keep in mind, American college athletics are mostly covered by U.S. media sources. Those with knowledge of college athletics would most assuredly agree that ESPN is one of the leaders if not the leader of college sports coverage. Major city newspapers aren’t too far behind ESPN and are considered by many to be on the same level. Here's what I also picked up. There are many assistant coaches and head coaches already on Wikipedia that don't come close to having Rebowe's credentials on the high school or college level. A very small percentage of football players make the NFL. If you closely read Rebowe’s article, you will see that he coached a pretty sizeable amount of players who made the NFL. I have also previously mentioned that I am very well qualified to judge notability when it comes to college football.

This subject has absolutely no notability at all by Wikipedia's notability standards. Two references are cited. I have downloaded a copy of the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCoursey. It does not mention "Golgi voltage gates" anywhere. In fact, it does not mention the word "Golgi", nor either "voltage gates" or "voltage gate". The other paper is not available for free, but the abstract makes no mention of this concept, so if it is mentioned it is unlikely to be central to the paper. A Google scholar search for "Golgi voltage gates" produced nothing at all. A general Google search produced nothing at all except this Wikipedia article and pages derived from it either on Wikipedia or on other wikis. (E.g. "Articles lacking sources from December 2012" on Speedy deletion Wiki.) Thus the best we have is a single research article which may or may not mention the topic, and if it does mention it does not give it substantial enough coverage for it to be mentioned in the abstract. We certainly do not have the substantial coverage in multiple third party reliable sources that are needed to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I have also searched for other concepts referred to in the article, such as "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", and found nothing at all except in Wikipedia and mirrors of Wikipedia pages. The article was once nominated for speedy deletion as a hoax, and the complete impossibility of finding any mention at all anywhere of either the subject of the article or any of several concepts mentioned in the article is very surprising, and raises the possibility that the characterisation as a hoax may be correct. The article cites the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCourse as a source for the statement "The mechanism for the attachment of a vesicle to a Golgi Voltage Gate is known as the GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", but that paper does not mention "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", nor even "GVG-Vesicle" or "Co-joining". At best we have a concept mentioned in one research paper that does not show up in Google scholar or anywhere else as far as I can make out. At worst, and in my opinion far more likely, we have a hoax. A PROD was removed by the author of the article. The article was created by a single purpose editor with no edits not related to this topic. Another single purpose editor who has also edited this article wrote on the talk page "Just because this is a fresh area of biochemical research, please don't assume its falsity."

Article claims this is a former professor at various US universities.

I do get a couple of P D Shahs in otehr fields elsewhere, but that is likely due to the fact that the name is common.

Article about a band from Seattle that was PRODed (which I endorsed) and contested without comment. At first light the references seem impressive but upon closer inspection they seem mostly self-generated, or basically the same content copied from one site to another, along with the usual facebook/twitter/youtube/soundcloud links. The claims about being in rotation on Sirius XM are unsourced and unverifiable as far as I can see, and I'm not entirely sure being featured in gyms could establish notability. The other claim is being featured in some kind of contest on Myx TV, however as far as I can tell this is not even over yet and there is no indication that they have actually won or been recognized for anything. About the only remotely notable third-party mention is this, however this is not a review or even the Seattle Weekly proper; it's just a six-line entry in a local event blog mentioning them (which I suppose makes sense since they're from Seattle). This is interestingly elaborate, but still fails WP:BAND at least, and certainly WP:GNG.

I want to clarify that while it would appear that I created the original article, what I created wasn't about this person — rather, there's a massive procedural error lurking in the edit history. What I created, in fact, was the article that's now sitting at Bill Belsey (politician) — but sometime in 2011, Bill Belsey the educator seems to have violated WP:COI by rewriting the article to be about himself, with the politician left at the bottom as an afterthought even though he's the more notable of the two per our current inclusion rules. And then sometime this year, another Wikipedia user spun the politician off into a new article and left the educator in the original one, then moved the original to this title and converted the plain title to a dab page — thus breaking the edit history, because my original edits about the politician are now attached to this title instead of the one which contains the content that I actually posted.
The educator's article, for the record, is clearly not consistent with our current standards around the use of reliable sources, and thus cannot be kept in its current form — while it's certainly possible that he might qualify for a properly written article that makes proper use of reliable sources, he is clearly not entitled to keep this spammy, COI-violating version. Accordingly, it's a clear delete — however, because of the process error, it will need to be handled as follows so that the edits that pertain to the original version are properly attached to the correct topic:

This is a bit of a tricky case where there are valid arguments on both sides, so I thought it best to bring it here for discussion and consensus rather than simply imposing anything arbitrarily. The situation is that she was elected to the
New Hampshire House of Representatives last month, earning the distinction of becoming the first out
transgender person ever elected to a state legislature in the
United States — however, she had previously been convicted of a crime and faced some controversy due to conflicting interpretations of whether she had fulfilled the necessary discharge conditions to be eligible to run for election, and thus opted to resign the seat before actually taking office.
So the dilemma is this: while the distinction of being the first transgender person to win a state-level election in the US technically still holds regardless of whether she actually assumed the office or not afterward, it also presents potential
WP:BLP problems (privacy, BLP1E, revealing a transgender person's prior name, etc.) for us to actually have a standalone article about her — we also, for instance, have the alternative of simply listing her name in relevant articles without linking to an independent article, thus avoiding content that would actually get into too much biographical detail about her.
I was the article's original creator, before the fit hit the shan, so I don't know what the right solution is here and won't express a preference — but there should be some discussion of whether we should keep or delete this nonetheless.
