The official web site has been taken over by a squatter and there is a complaint on the page that the topic may not be notable - since 2009. In these four years, it has evidently become less notable, not moreso.

- Delete I couldn't find any sources to support notability. The problem is that there is a blog by an editor of the Washington Free Beacon that is absorbing more of the hits. The "official website" appears to now be a news source for American health insurance, so the product doesn't seem to exist any longer either, which means that it won't become more important over time.

Totally lacks notability per
WP:PROF, and the general WP criteria for
notability. He has virtually no mainstream academic publications, and he's rarely cited by independent, mainstream sources of any sort; his mentions are largely confined to fringe, ideological sites (LewRockwell.com, Mises.org) with which he is affiliated.

Delete (striking Delete, see below) Well, well. Another SPA-written stub about this person. This time, in addition to his non-notable self-published books, he has co-written (which probably means ghost-written) a book with Dennis Rodman. That book did attract some mainstream notice, but all of the coverage was about super-celeb Rodman, with at best a passing mention of Warburton. Notability is not inherited, and Warburton does not meet
WP:BIO or
WP:AUTHOR. --

- Comment
WP:AUTHOR allows for co-authors. It says "played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work .. that has been the subject of .. multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." (emphasis added). A ghost writer is usually afforded the same notability as the book subject. I have not researched this particular book to see how notable it is but co-author is valid grounds for arguing for notability. The reviews don't need to mention the author, CREATIVE is based on reviews of works, not the artist personally (GNG is about the person). --

- Keep This is a notable ghost writer per AUTHOR (comment above). Some coverage of Dennis the Wild Bull:
NY Daily News,
NESN,
MLive,
CBS Chicago,
Yahoo Sports,
Time magazine,
USA Today,
Sports Illustrated,
CTV News,
NBC Sports. As a ghost writer he will naturally not be mentioned in the sources but the sources cover the work which is what CREATIVE #3 is about, reviews of the works of which he is a co-creator. --

- Comment I was unaware of the "co-creator" loophole in the
WP:AUTHOR notability guidelines, and I don't agree with it. It apparently provides that even the most obscure ghostwriter will become "notable" if they happen to hook up with a famous person - and thus co-produce something which receives coverage because of the famous person's involvement. Looks like
WP:INHERITED to me. A guideline is a guideline and presumably was based on consensus, so I am striking my "delete" !vote above; however, I can't bring myself to !vote "keep" for a subject I still regard as non-notable. --

- Though just writing for a famous person isn't enough, need multiple reviews in reliable sources, not all of Rodman's books have good coverage but Dennis the Wild Bull is exceptional. It's not really a loophole, books are a type of creative work like movies and plays that include multiple people who played a significant role. Usually books are single-authored but in some cases multiple people played a significant role. A book illustrator would be another example if the book had a lot of illustrations. --

- Comment I read all of the links above, except one that I couldn't reach, and not a single one is a review of the book, or even indicates that the writer was holding a physical copy of the book. Many were published before the book's release. One is a home town paper's profile of the illustrator, in the vein of "local boy makes good". Several mention lack of information about the content, focus on the cover art, the brief summary on the book's website and quote Rodman's interviews mentioning the book. This is all coverage, which one calls "Internet buzz" about a celebrity book event, all focused on the "bad boy writes kid's book" hook. Rodman is notable. The book, lacking actual reviews, isn't in my judgment. And neither is the co-author.

- Rodman has published other books that didn't get this attention. Other celebrity authors publish books that don't get this kind of attention. It's more than "buzz" it's unusual coverage. The sources contain plot outlines - it's a children's picture book so not much else to say - they are all headlined about the book, it's not vapor. Anyway we are not limited to formal reviews only - the notability guidelines are more generous. --

- Rodman has published other books that didn't get this attention. Actually Rodman's best known book,
Bad As I Wanna Be, was a best seller - but its ghost writer,
Tim Keown, doesn't have a Wikipedia article. The coverage of the current book actually IS "buzz", and as Cullen noted, all of it is a variation on "bad boy writes children's book". None of the buzz is about the CONTENT of the book, which is what Warburton contributed. --
MelanieN (

- Sounds like we need to look into an article for
Tim Keown, Wikipedia has gaps of coverage. I'm not sure what "buzz" means, it's a pejorative term without clear definition, but we know what notable means ("significant coverage in reliable sources"). All of these are reliable sources and they are headlined about the book, and contain enough material to write an article about the book (
WP:WHYN). Although the sources contain the narrative "bad boy writes book", they also contain information about the book. --

WP:NOTABILITY is quite clear that a subject is notable if it meets the GNG or one of the subject specific guidelines. You don't have to meet both. He meets

- Well, we're talking apples and oranges a bit. One question is whether the subject is notable. The other question is whether there exists sufficient sourced information to write about the subject. Interviews are primary sources for the information about the subject, true, but the interview as a whole is a secondary source, which counts towards notability. See
WP:ALLPRIMARY. For example, if someone were interviewed multiple times on NPR or CNN, that would count towards notability. The statements by the subject would be primary source, but the statements by the interviewer are secondary source. The interviewee is not self-promoting themselves by being interviewed (unless of course they're interviewing themselves). For example, here's another source:
[10] It's an interview, yes, but the statements by the interviewer at the top are secondary source. --

- Not so. The only concern at AfD is notability. Everything else is a content issue for the article talk page. The essence of notability is that other people not connected with the subject take note of it and publish their own thoughts about it in reliable independent sources, sources with reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. You simply make yourself notable just by your own acts. It wouldn't matter if the subject appeared six times a day on both networks for a year. Unless and until someone takes note, it just doesn't count. Underlying this is the simple observation that if a subject really is notable, e.g., because they're always on TV, sooner or later those sources will appear and then we can have an article on that topic.

Thank you all for your help with this, I think I'm now becoming more familiar with the process and how it all works on Wikipedia. I added the sources that are listed above and I changed a couple details here and there. I was wondering if some of you would be willing to look at the page and let me know if there are specific areas that need to be edited. The original text I had was very promotional sounding, I realize that now when comparing it to the current page. I don't feel that the language is too promotional sounding any more, but you guys have been doing this a lot longer than I have so I'd greatly appreciate your opinions on what else needs editing. And since I added the sources that were discussed in the DRV, can I assume that area of the article is up to standard? Please let me know your input, meanwhile I'll read the article again and do more research to see if there are any other details I can add/change. Thanks! --

I am more than willing to change things if people suggest it, it's just that I have looked at the article quite a few times and can't seem to find any areas that I personally think are too promotional. I would need outside sources to sort of guide me on that, to give me a different perspective. Should I wait for more people to comment before trying to edit it any further? Thanks again, --

- My comment would be the article spends too much time on non-notable activities, as an example how about the sentence "She has also spoke at libraries in her community, such as Dunedin Public Library and Clearwater Public Library". This sentence isn't sourced, and the activity isn't notable, it just gives the impression "look what a great person our beloved article subject is!" without outright saying so. Have there been any critical reviews of her work? Not necessarily critical in the negative sense, but something objective regarding her ideas and processes. It would help balance the article.

Okay, that makes sense. I removed that sentence and I'm going to go back through and look for any other sentences that are similar in mentioning non-notable activities. I'm not aware of any reviews like that except the book reviews which are already included as sources for the article. I've been through a few google searches, but I'll continue to keep an eye out for stuff like that. --

- Delete – even after a re-work, the subject's notability is not well established. Most all links/references in the article are only tangential to the subject: they reference the products/ideas he may have developed, but don't clearly reference the subject himself. E.g., it doesn't make sense to keep quoting different sources about Scrum or Agile (to which multiple references exist) since they have separate Wiki articles - especially if none of these sources clearly refer to the subject of the article itself, or support any of the stated facts about Jeff as a person. So the article remains poorly referenced (essentially, unreferenced!) with respect to Jeff himself, and all the external links are not really good sources per Wikipedia standards.

- Keep because the topic is notable despite the article not being in good shape. Per
WP:BEFORE, "Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted." I suggest moving the article to
domestic violence in film. The topic's general notability is demonstrated below:
- The AFI Readers book Violence and American Cinema has the chapter "Documenting Domestic Violence in American Films".
- The book Violence Against Women in Families and Relationships has the chapter "Film, Violence, and Gender".
- The book Engaging Film Criticism: Film History and Contemporary American Cinema has the chapter "The Redemption of Domestic Violence: The New Hollywood Family from To Kill a Mockingbird to Sling Blade".
- I also found books with chapters about domestic violence in a specific film. I believe it is possible to also have a list article where we can identify films that have acts of domestic violence. The article
list of films featuring surveillance, which I developed, can be used as a template for that, so there can be both prose and list in regard to this topic.

The definition of gender-based violence needs to be established, though, using reliable sources.

- This sounds more like the article that I was envisioning. One source per entry is enough, but the source should clearly state that the violence is gendered. I was also thinking that a real article could be written about this topic: a history of gendered violence, its causes, and its reception. For example,
Roger Ebert famously railed against early-80s
slasher films for their misogyny and gender-based violence. The BBFC also infamously banned many films from England in the early 1980s because of their gender-based violence. That's what I was expecting to find in this article, and I was ready to argue a strong keep – until I saw the article itself! A list is perfectly fine, but I think a Good/Featured article could be written about this topic. The list itself could be spun off as
List of films featuring gender violence or some-such. But I'm OK with any of the proposed solutions, as long as reliable sources are introduced, the list criteria are clearly stated, and the article adheres to the
Manual of Style (no inline links). I struck my vote, so if someone wants to close this as "speedy keep", they can.

- it is difficult to interpret MEDRS. the guidelines are biased towards medicine and pharma - not relevant to mainstream health, wellness - or integrative medicine which is becoming the mainstream in many countries. if we take MEDRS black and white - most of the articles in the wiki must be deleted. good example theta healing was approved and it is on wiki. pemf and other energy medicine, music therapy etc. wiki should include all health and wellness modalities without any bias. future is friendly. people use cymatic therapy, pemf, vibroacoustics, physioacoustics, vibration therapy, sound therapy for many decades... some are even approved by FDA and Health Canada. wiki readers must have freedom of information. enough said.

- Do not delete Cymatic therapy is not a fringe theory. It isn't mainstream, but so what? Different sound based methods have been helping people in healing process for centuries. See for example raga therapy or Tibetan bowls, to name the few. So healing with sound is nothing new actually. What's wrong with acknowledging modern developments? Unless you want to have an out-of-date encyclopaedia with narrow, orthodox world views, do not delete that article. Oh, and by the way, yes, there are many crappy sources about the subject, that doesn't mean it's false.

Putting that aside the only references are both dead links (so is the therapy itself?). Google search for Cymatic therapy yields nothing useful. Looking at google books, there are quiet a few books, but per

WP:SCHOLAR; a search of Google Scholar finds only ONE publication, cited only 28 times. (It's about
Zebra Lines, a concept that has not become generally accepted; IMO the Zebra lines article should also be deleted.) He comes closer to notability via
WP:GNG;
Google News Archive finds half a dozen articles in mainstream publications about his "bionic" prosthetic limbs and his allegations against the Australian refugee camps. (Amusingly, our article says he left Iraq in horror rather than amputate the EARS of Army deserters, while the news article says he was ordered to amputate their LIMBS.) I don't find this degree of coverage to meet the notability standard, and I'm hesitant to keep a medical article that has so little
WP:MEDRS sourcing. If kept, the article should certainly be edited to remove the names of his patients! --

- Some interesting history: An SPA wrote three articles earlier this year: one about Dr. Al Muderi, one about his practice, and one about the
Zebra Lines. Their article about Dr. Al Muderi was declined at AfC in August
[21] and a new article (this one) was created by a second SPA in October. The first SPA's article about the practice was declined three separate times at AfC, then improved by the second SPA, but still seems to be languishing at AfC.
[22] In October the second SPA simply went ahead (bypassing AfC) and created an article about Dr. Al Muderis's practice,
The Osseointegration Group of Australia, which largely duplicates this biographical article including listing the names of his patients; that article needs to be looked at. The third article, about
Zebra Lines,
was somehow passed at AfC bypassed AfC; I am about to nominate it for deletion. --

- Hi guys, thanks for your input however, I disagree with your conclusion that Dr Al Muderis (not Muderi as you repeatedly state)is not notable enough for Wikipedia. He is the leading surgeon performing Osseointegration not just in Australia but in the world. As you mention there are multiple mentions of him in news articles which only further proves his notability. You mention a fact discrepancy between the article I created and a transcript from the ABC show 7.30 Report. I am a journalist myself (you can google me to substantiate this) and unfortunately sometimes news sources get facts wrong sometimes. There are three other sources I can provide you with that include interviews with Dr Al Muderis where he says himself it was the ears of army deserters that he was instructed to cut off. The reason his patients names are mentioned as they are examples of world first operations of their kind and Brendan Burkett being an accomplished Paraolympian makes him worthy of mentioning. There has been a few more articles about osseointegration and Dr Al Muderis published in prominent national Australian magazines this month which I am happy to add to the reference list. I'm sorry if you view these articles as promotional this is not the case. Rather my intention was to provide the broader amputee community with a procedure which can dramatically change their life. I do have an affiliation with Dr Al Muderis in that I was a patient of his. I am a amputee and had osseointegration surgery a year ago and it has changed my life dramatically. I am rid of the pain I endured daily and can now walk freely without restriction. I only stumbled across the procedure by accident and since it has had such a positive effect on my life all I want is for other amputees to experience the same happiness and success I have. It is a new surgery so is not common mainstream knowledge yet so deleting these articles would only deny the amputee community of information that could improve their life.
- I am happy to improve the articles with your feedback if you let me know what it is you feel they are lacking. Thanks.

- I have not previously commented, but on the specific question of whether the Women's Weekly article should count as an RS for the purposes of WP:GNG my answer has to be in the affirmative. As a UK man I am not in the habit of reading Australian women's magazines but unless there is something of which I am aware the fact that it is aimed specifically at the female market and the magazine may also contain material that would not be considered suitable for Wikipedia cannot be a bar. Many publications have a readership which is heavily skewed. It qualifies in other respects and GNG is thereby satisfied. --

MelanieN above are correct, and this article doesn't seem to meeet
WP:MEDRS standards. I understand why some may feel this is a borderline call, but what the article claims he's famous for - the phrase 'Zebra Lines' - is not generally accepted. In addition, the "accomplishments" section is filled with two-liners more appropriate in articles about the patients themselves, not the doctor. Finally, the infobox looks awful. If kept, there are definitely improvements to be made, but I don't see the notability here to take that step.

- Hold everything! I just noticed that the main reference for this article
[25] - a source which is cited six separate times and is used to support claims like descent from the Iraqi royal family - appears to have been written by Munjed Al Muderis himself, and not by "Peter Meehan" as the reference claims. Somebody please double check this; I don't want to be the only one saying that the authorship of the primary source appears to have been falsified. If this is true, then a good deal of the article needs to be junked, as based on a self-referential or primary source. Furthermore, when most of the third-party news stories talk about his past, they are getting their information from the subject, in the form of interviews and such. It looks to me as if all of the "fleeing Iraq" reporting is based only on his own colorful stories; basically everything about his life pre-Australia seems to be unverified and based on his own say-so. The only reliably sourced information in the article is the news stories about his patients and their "cyborg legs". --

The result was keep. Close per SNOW. I'm not closing this necessarily as "speedy" since I read the nomination statement, short as it is, as an equivalent to "pure spam which needs to be rewritten entirely etc". Having said that, though, consensus for this to be kept is clear and there is no need to keep this open longer.

Wikipedia:Notability (academics)/Precedents and the notes to
WP:PROF which say "Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members with endowed appointments". Criteria #5 does not specify the exact rank for academics in Canadian universities, but it refers to the highest rank of professors in any country. Montreal was ranked 84th in the world by THE
[33] and therefore qualifies as a "a major institution of higher education and research". Based on Google Scholar, he also has an h-index of at least 50 which easily meets WP:PROF #1, but someone with access to a better database may be able to get a more accurate figure. --

- Such a huge h-index is way beyond what we usually take as indicating notability. Just for the record, though, I strongly disagree with your interpretation of PROF. Being full professor is not the equivalent of a named chair or a "distinguished professorship". As for that precedents essay, I'm impressed that you even found that. If you look at the history, you'll see that it's pretty old and mostly refers to outcomes in 2005-2006. Since then, PROF has evolved a lot. Several of the examples given there (s lot of publications, chairing a conference discussion, for example) will not be enough for a "keep" nowadays.
- Keep
GScholar lists several articles with very high citation rates.
Web of Science lists 436 articles that have been cited over 9200 times with an h-index of 47. Highest citation counts 259, 177, and 153 (9 articles with more than 100 citations). Clear pass of PROF#1. The Fellowship most likely would be enough, too, but they have several classes of Fellows and I did not check which class Moffat is in an whether all classes qualify for notability. --

What we have here, ladies and gentleman, is a rare find: a seven year old hoax. This unreferenced article (the external link doesn't seem to be very relevant) doesn't check out on Google and Google Books - I tried the Polish name variant Józef too, and there is nothing reliable about such person (born 1898, Polish senator). He is not listed in
pl:Kategoria:Senatorowie V kadencji (1938-1939) (which has bios for 89 out of 96 Polish senators elected in 1938). There's a bishop
pl:Józef Olechowski - different person. As noted, it is my conclusion this is a hoax (or more AGFing, an obituary (no date of death, though?) for a non-notable person, filled with at least one incorrect fact - the subject being a senator, which is the only possible claim to notability this article makes).

- Comment. In this edit (
[34]) the article's author
User:Vumba indirectly reveals that Josef Olechowski was his grandfather per the description of a massacre. While writing articles about relatives may be problematic due to a possible COI, and it does not help to establish notability, it appears reasonable to assume that the article is not hoax as is, although we cannot verify its contents (or at least have been unable to verify it so far). Let's assume for a moment, that this article is about a real person, and that he was actually a Polish senator, are senators likely to be notable? If so (and if the Polish WP has 89 bios for 96 senators elected in 1938, this may indicate something), it might be worth trying to dig a little deeper and search for historical documents. There are many notable topics for which there are no online references today, while reliable offline sources exist (or existed decades ago). Please don't get me wrong, I don't know if this person was notable at all, I just want to remind us that for many historical topics "no Google hits" means absolutely nothing in regard to notability. At least, if this stuff would not be made up, but an article about a notable person, it would be quite a good start for an article and it would be a pity to loose it, even without (m)any references. This does not free us from trying to establish notability now, but we should be careful not to draw premature conclusions just because Google does not turn up anything. --

- I think there is a limit to how much time we should spend looking for possible obscure sources when the editor/s of the article doesn't provide any. A deletion now is no hindrance for starting a new article if sources that demonstrate notability turn up later . The article didn't look like a typical hoax to me either; might have been a relative who was writing according to family memory and maybe didn't get all the facts correct (for instance the senator claim).

having gained national radio in the UK (BBC Radio 6) - in conjunction with having musicians already cited within Wikipedia as being worthy of noteworthy inclusion - I can see no valid reason to delete this entry. I also rather disagree with a comment made previously in this debate that the entry has been made to promote the band - there are far better areas of promotion should that be the case - and as far as I can ascertain this entry has been made on valid grounds of authenticity.
thank you for reading.

Delete because there is no reliable coverage about this person in sources, films, music, or books. Achievements credited to person are not sufficient in scope to warrant an article here on their own.

- Keep. Not very notable, but being a national chess champion is surely a notable achievement that is verified in the sources. While
WP:ATHLETE does not have a separate entry for chess, a look at the sports that do have an entry shows that winning the senior national championship is typically held as sufficient.

- Neutral. A weak keep maybe. A national champion, but from a small country with few chess players. I believe he was exceptionally talented, winning the Jamaican championship at 16 and defeating at least two master level players at the 1976 World Junior (Nir Grinberg and
Marcel Sisniega). He did all this with no coach or trainer; obviously the Jamaican Chess Federation lacked the infrastructure to hone his talent. His US Master title is not very notable and wouldn't warrant an article in itself. The question, then, is whether his strong early promise warrants an article. I'll let the concensus process sort it out.
