I will quote the reason given in a PROD by Kobuu: "This seems to only be the law and reads like a legal briefing. I have no doubt that this is useful information to someone but I don't think Wiki is the place for it. Also, the original author no longer exists." 331dot ( talk) 22:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and improve. I don't think that a valid rationale for deletion has been advanced. Even if this were a problem (and I don't think it is) it can be dealt with by rewriting the article. If necessary, the article could be reduced to a one line stub and rebuilt. We don't delete articles because they are WP:IMPERFECT. James500 ( talk) 02:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I think that the criticism that the article is "only the law" is particularly absurd. A WP article on a piece of legislation should be about the law (and especially black letter law). There is no reason whatsoever why it should necessarily include history, politics or sociology because these subjects are marginally relevant at best. An article about law should read like a law book such as Halsbury's Laws of England (a famous encyclopedia of law) and not like a sociology book or the like. James500 ( talk) 03:42, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
What this article does contain is a large number of expression of opinions that are not attributed to any source. These might be original research, but they could easily have been drawn from one of the many sources discussing this Act. These can be dealt with simply by finding a source for them or by excising altogether, and are not a reason to delete the article. I think the best thing to do might be to stubify the article and rebuild it. James500 ( talk) 04:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I have moved this article to The Exempted Limited Partnership Law, 2014 and stubified it to remove the uncited material and POV with this edit. The article should now be expanded. There are now no further conceivable objections whatsoever to the article on this obviously notable Act. James500 ( talk) 05:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
The page is much improved,(the page should not be the law verbatim as it was) but I don't understand why there doesn't need to be a link to where the law is written down(or other source describing its passage). On pages I edit where I talk about a statute I always link to where I found it so others know I wasn't just making it up. 331dot ( talk) 10:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Whilst this article does now include external links (in the references section), and whilst external links are desirable because they make verification easier, we have never had a requirement that an article must be based on at least one online source. The reason for this appears to be that many books and other documents have never been digitised with a scanner and are available only in printed hard copy form. James500 ( talk) 07:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I'm not saying there has to be an online link, but it wasn't really clear to me (as an outsider) where to look up the information in any form. All of that said, I hereby withdraw my request given the changes to the page as it stands now. 331dot ( talk) 11:18, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply

My main objection to this page is that it is a hoax. It has two pictures on it, both of which include the face of the subject very obviously super-imposed. Beyond this, the article has no sources.

  • Speedy Delete blatant hoax per G3. The obviously rough cut-and-pastes of the subject's face on another person in photos with Tupac are hilarious. We seem to be encountering more and more tests of our systems and procedures for new articles, at least some of which are inspired/suggested by academics who question the validity/sustainability of Wikipedia as a reference of any reliability. I ask, not entirely rhetorically, whether we still have organized New Page Patrols? This article should not have survived a cursory review by any editor who was vaguely familiar with our notability, reliable source and deletion policies and guidelines, but yet, it survived for ten months.

Subject lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources, therefore fails Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for companies and organizations. Almost all sources link to the subject's database entry. However beside data entries there are four other sources in the article, one YouTube link (unreliable), one press release (unreliable), and two dead links. There is nothing helpful found on Google news and Google books. Perhaps creator would like to throw some light on the claim, which describe the subject in the lead subject as, "a global social enterprise".

A merge to cloud is possible, but I'm seeing very little coverage for what could be a neologism. Only sources I could really find are a thesis, and a few other sites that refer to this thesis. There are actually several, several sources about man-made clouds, but not under this name, so whether or not this can be kept, at least under this title, should now be discussed. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 11:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Failed to make this clearer earlier: the subject of this AfD is the term "Anthropocloud", not the concept of the man-made cloud. As it seems that the word Anthropocloud is a neologism that has not been covered in/used by reliable sources, should this article be kept, it should probably be moved to a different title. Note that Artificial cloud already exists, so I'm fine with a merge to that article. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I would say that this is a notable topic in its own right and in several of the environmental sciences "Anthropo" is a widely used suffix to describe human activity, for example the Anthropocene which is a theoretical age used to describe the past 200 years. I am a recent graduate in environmental science. Seasider91 ( talk) 12:50, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Gallery added by Rococo1700

Good grief. I'm too tired from writing the Gennaro Serra article to write anymore, do not delete it because:

  • Gennaro Serra was a member of the House of Carafa, one of the most prominent aristocratic families in Naples, if not Italy, who lived in the monumental Palazzo Serra di Cassano in Naples, but who, in some ways working against his natal class, helped found the Parthenopean Republic, but despite surrendering to Cardinal Ruffo, the surrender agreement was in part voided by Admiral Nelson and his squeeze Lady Hamilton, leading to the execution of Eleonora Pimentel, Luisa Sanfelice ,Mario Pagano, and Ignazio Ciaia. One of whom argued with him about the wisdom of establishing a cavalry unit, other arrested with him for distributing the first copies of the declaration of the rights of man in naples, and some of whom were executed on the same stage on the same day. Luisa is an example of also how the counter revolutionary purge hit the aristocracy, and how it later influence artists; Serra's execution gave an idea to Tito Angelini. Good grief! Rococo1700 ( talk) 06:51, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE COMMENTARY ON THIS DISCUSSION!!!!!!! Good grief. I'm too tired from writing the Gennaro Serra article to write anymore.

I find it editorial that I have to justify why not to delete a biography on an individual whose memory is still around two hundred years later for rather earthshaking events in the history of Naples, but those who wish to delete it, do not have to make no effort at explaining themselves. I have seen zero, zero effort by anyone to justify why this article has to be deleted.

  • Keep. I see really a bunch of Google Books sources covering this individual, most Italian sources (a few are false positive as there is a Gennaro Serra street in Naples), which include a 1999 biographical work (Gennaro Serra di Cassano: un portone chiuso in faccia al tiranno by Pietro Gargano). Apparently an important figure in the short-lived Parthenopean Republic (eg, the book Terronismo by Marco Demarco refers to his life events as a popular myth). Moving the page to Gennaro Serra di Cassano or to Gennaro Serra could be in order. Cavarrone 21:22, 8 August 2014 (UTC) reply

"Give me time" and "Let's give this editor a chance" isn't going to cut it in the face of WP:V and WP:N.

Biography of a person whose only substantive claim of notability is having famous relatives — except that notability is not inherited, so that doesn't make him notable by itself — and which is relying exclusively on primary sources (one genealogy PDF, two webpages of organizations he was directly involved in, and one brief notice of his death in a British estates database) with not a whit of reliable source coverage to demonstrate that he gets past even one of our actual inclusion rules.

"Master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers" is not, in and of itself, a reason why a person gets an encyclopedia article.

  • Delete. Its capacity for confusion with similar terms makes this an extremely unhelpful word. The closest dictionary entries in the OED are 1. philander, n.2 1737 ...(Usu. in form filander.) The dusky wallaby or pademelon; 2. philander, v. 1778 ...intr. Esp. of a man: to flirt; to engage in casual sexual or romantic encounters; 3. philanderer, n. 1841...A man who philanders; a male flirt.... Coining of this word would bring about about an unnecessary clash of meaning between philandrer or philandrist (= a person who loves men) and philanderer (= most usually, a man who loves women). I can imagine such mischief being promoted only by users having a poor knowledge of English, or whose intention is deliberately to confuse and obfuscate.

  • Anything but delete Whatever Terekeme may mean, Karapapak means "black hat", and is the name given them, assuming they are actually the same, by Russians. So really, the article on them, again assuming they are not two different groups, should be called Terekeme, as they call themselves, and Karapapak, a trivial nickname referring to the style of their hats, the redirect to it. Anarchangel ( talk) 00:15, 18 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Suspected bad faith nomination: the editor has just placed a comment on my shared ip page, from which this article was edited. the comment was about me supposedly "blanking" serbian film article, while i added pov tag (and a category). checking last nomination, which was relatively recent and retracted by nominator, testifies that motivation for this is not only bogus, but wastes community time. and yes, vanja bulic is a very well known journalist - just read last nomination. 213.198.221.171 ( talk) 22:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC) reply
At the previous AfD nomination, the nominator did not give a good reason for it's deletion; he should have used WP policies and guidelines to support his claims. This is why that nomination was a bad faith nomination, but that does not make this one bad faith; I expressed a concern that this topic may not meet the notability guidelines listed above. As I've already told you, WP:NOTAGAIN is not a valid argument to use in deletion discussions. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 20:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply
the previous nomination does not seem to be bad faith nomination; the nominator was not knowledgeable about the subject, and it was poorly sourced. your nomination seems to be in bad faith, because of its motivation, as explained, and also because the previous nomination had a discussion that refuted all your supposed points. thus, i highly suspect that you did not nominate this because of your issue as you claim (though you put supposedly supportive policies), but because you checked what articles were edited from ip that edited page serbian film, that you claimed was "blanking". either that, or it is a weird coincidence. in any case, i believe this is bad faith nomination, which has nothing to do with the merits of the subject of the article (which is, as can be easily seen from discussion before, both notable, and satisfies all the criteria that you claim are basis for deletion - both author, and reliable sources etc; but that is no surprising, since your motivation is in something elese apparently). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.221.171 ( talk) 21:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Okay, but you're going to have to find verifiable sources to support these claims. Otherwise, your opinion will not be considered; you have used WP:ASSERTN, WP:MUST, and WP:ITEXISTS, which are not valid arguments to use in a deletion discussion. Qxukhgiels ( talk)
Unstruck. You don't get to strike other people's comments, particularly not in a deletion debate where you were the nominator, and especially not for spurious reasons. It is the closer's business to weigh arguments in the debate. I'm inclined to launch you straight to ANI. No such user ( talk) 06:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC) reply
The argument above, as I've already mentioned, relies on WP:AADD, so that is why I have struck it. Reporting me at ANI for this would accomplish little, if not nothing at all. Also, how about reading this. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 21:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Qxukhgiels, you should keep calm and point out issues with people's comments without interfering with them. It is the closing editor's job to weed them out, and if it's as obvious as you think, then there's no real downside in letting it play out in such an orderly fashion.

  • Strong keep - Quite a strange nomination, this, considering the wide range of points addressed in the discussion spawned from Safiel's first nomination, which he then quickly withdrew. As for WP:GNG, Bulić is all over Politika, [15] Serbian newspaper-of-record, and he's very prominent in other Serbian papers too.

  • Weak delete, I'm tending towards delete. I found one Houston Chronicle article ( The Waiter (film) was filmed in Houston) which verifies the film exists, though is almost entirely about the illustrious biography of the film's main star, Charles Durning. It was clearly a coup to get Dunning for this low budget film, but I can only presume from the lack of evidence that the long list of alleged awards (see IMDb profile) received by The Waiter were very minor.

I cannot find any sources about this footballer, even to establish his existence; all are rather about Titi Camara, who shares the same first and last name but was born in 1972. The article creator has added only general pages that require searching, and those where I have been able to search (some do not respond when I try to search) are listing only Titi Camara. The article still has 2 footnotes (2 others were removed in a recent edit as useless), so the "unreferenced BLP" tag is strictly inappropriate, but none of the 4 mentions this Aboubacar Camara.

Nor does he appear in ForaDeJogo.net's squad list for Estrela Amadora for 2002/03. As GiantSnowman says above, there's no-one of this name/dob on the NFT international players database.

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

I'm nominating this list for deletion as this is an unverifiable original research. Also, the term "supervillain" itself cannot be well-defined, which further supports the fact that it cannot be verified. The problem is here since 2007 (see the previous AfDs), therefore it is highly unlikely that this article will be fixed. Hence this article satisfies WP:DEL#REASONs #6,7. It also fails all five criteria of WP:GNG, especially "significance in coverage". Lastly, Wikipedia is not a publisher of fan inventions or directory. Therefore, it should be deleted.

  • Keep The list article helps with navigation, showing people where to find similar articles they may be interested in. Everyone on the list is female and has a super power and is a villain, so its not original research. They are called this in their own articles and even featured in Category:Female supervillains already. The list would be more useful with additional information added for each entry, listing their super power, and when they debuted, and in what comic book. Dream Focus 19:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Does it make the group notable? Besides, every claim on "super power" and "villainity" needs to be sourced on the list, and I see none. Forbidden User ( talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
It does not. As long as that information is in the article being linked to, its fine. Dream Focus 13:40, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
If it cites no RS to prove its notability, our deltion policy says we delete it — the MoS guideline cannot defend it. Forbidden User ( talk) 19:02, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
No, deletion policy says we delete it if it is impossible to cite a RS to prove its notability. The lack of sources actually cited in the article is not a cause for deletion of the entire article. JulesH ( talk) 21:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as complement to Category:Female supervillains per WP:CLN, and as navigational list per WP:LISTPURP. As Dream Focus explains above, the claim that it's unverifiable whether a character is 1) female and a 2) supervillan is simply nonsense, as the original sources almost always use the label of "superhero" or "supervillain". Citing to the previous AFDs is no help to the nominator, as both closed as "keep" and did not raise the same arguments so they are hardly evidence of an unresolved "problem" existing "since 2007". postdlf ( talk) 20:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
It is nonsense to say that the problem is not here in 2007, as the noms both raise the same problems I raise. Your "always" claim is unsupported as well. Anyway, WP:N is the relevant guideline here. Throwing others are not really useful. Forbidden User ( talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

    The point is a complementary navigational index. Plus it has the potential to be annotated and organized in different ways, which the category cannot. But I shouldn't have to tell you that if you've already read through WP:CLN, particularly WP:NOTDUP. postdlf ( talk) 19:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
    While comic relief is of course valued on WP, and makes it into quite a few essays, including the Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose that NOTSTUPID references, I have always felt that the comic essays were almost universally the worst essays, that their value as humor was the grease that slid them in, where their sheer value as policy was lacking. I am frankly horrified to see that an ad nauseum/ WP:BLUDGEONing away at the reader with five or so reiterations of the phrase "bad idea" has actually made it onto the WP:NOT page, which is actually a Policy rather than an essay. More to the point of this discussion, NOTSTUPID is a derivative of Ignore All Rules. Anyone can fly IAR up the flagpole at any time; what is important is to say WHY you think that this particular usage of a rule is wrong in this case.
    I should add, that the point is not whether you, one editor alone consider it pointless or not. The point is that the policy discussion, long ago, involving dozens of editors, and the tacit acceptance of the outcome of the discussion by thousands more editors is relevant. WP:CONSENSUS has determined that cats and lists are not redundant to each other. The argument that it is pointless is not irrelevant to a new discussion about the relationship between cats and lists, but good luck finding anyone who wants to debate that, basically. Already decided. Anarchangel ( talk) 00:40, 18 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Clearly notable subject. Not redundant to a category, as the article includes information on publisher that would otherwise not be included in navigation. Could also be extended to include additional information (e.g. year of first appearance would be a useful addition IMO). JulesH ( talk) 21:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - As WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been done and limited improvements to improve this over a category hasn't happened yet. I'll do some work, but as a matter of reference, most of these villains already contain numerous links to their criteria and portrayal in media. I'll keep to the easier lists which are ever present to start with. WP:NOTDUP clearly applies and we should aim for a little more than a mere list.

Wow, that's quite a lot of books. I saw three really talking about supervillains. However, I'm talking about clarity in definition besides coverage.

Initially written as an advertisement, subject appears to be failing Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for biographies because it lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources. It does not even meet WP:ANYBIO standard. What I find, are passing mentions somewhere under cast section, of the films she is supposed to appear into. There is NOT even a single line dedicate to her in any of the reliable sources, I see. I may be wrong. But again, bring out sources that establish her notability, if there are really any. She is not-notable for acting with notable actors or in notable films because, Notability is not inherited. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 18:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. After Walter Görlitz prodded this last month I turned it into a redirect, because I agreed at the time that it was unlikely to be notable.

      • As someone more inclined to inclusionism than not, my opinion remains unchanged. While it is not a work I personally am familiar with (not really a LOG fan), I feel that its status as a studio album is notability on its own, being that it was released by a fairly big act. Again, if it were the 2001 Eastern Canada Club Tour EP, I'd agree with you, but I feel LP albums have more notability on the basis of being albums, and the act which recorded them.-- L1A1 FAL ( talk) 23:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Update: I've added quite a bit of referencing — certainly some more would still be a good idea, but the challenge is that I don't have access to a database archive of French-language media from the 1990s (which is when the largest amount of coverage of him would have been published), so I have to rely mainly on web-accessible sources for the moment — and have toned down some of the promotional language and the trivia. One problem I'm still having is that while I'm finding a lot of general acknowledgements that he recorded two unsuccessful albums before his commercial breakthrough, I'm not finding hide nor hair of their titles (there's one pre-Drôle album credited to him by discogs.com, but for a variety of reasons I'm not confident enough that it's really him, rather than a different musician who merely happened to have the same name, to add it here without another source for confirmation.)

  • Delete ANYBIO says "a well-known and significant award or honor." Getting an MBE certainly helps. But some honor handed out en masse by one particular leader in one country is not automatically "significant." This appears to be a less exclusive honor than several related ones. The relevant article indicates there is no stated limit to how many MBEs can be awarded in a given year. Have any such honors been handed out to persons for things other than great achievements, such as to curry political favor, or to a friend of no particular accomplishments? What if the leader of any other country of population 60 something million handed out an honor to someone. Automatically notable as well? We should not hand over the keys to Wikipedia notability to any one national leader with a box full of ribbons to hand out each year. There should still be reliable sources to satisfy WP:BIO.

  • The main Madonna biography article is VERY large and the list of artists influenced by her (which is very extensive purely from a numbers standpoint) uses more than 200 sources - obviously, that's well warranted. The Beyoncé one could easily be kept in her main article as well, but that's not what we're discussing. See WP:WAX. – Chase ( talk / contribs) 17:36, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Well the article is well-sourced. And the list of artists influenced by her is also very, very lengthy. You can't possibly fit the article with Brandy's main biography, which is also rather extensive. No artist is listed without a proper source. Malcolmo ( talk) 22:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • It already fits perfectly fine in the legacy section of Brandy's article without the excess fluff (which resembles a fansite more than an encyclopedia), trivial information ("So-and-So is my favorite Brandy album!", etc.), and excessive quotes. And there are several artists listed without sources. – Chase ( talk / contribs) 23:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

It is not trivial information, it is crucial to the actual article, and describes how a plethora of leading artists within a genre have acknowledged her as an inspiration to her work. It seems as if you are downplaying the entire genre of R&B music right now... These quotes are not invented and far from fansite-ish. They are actual statements by professionals within the business. Find me an artist in the list that has no source attached? Clearly the article is vaild and should be kept, wether it can be improved, that is another debate.

  • Delete. This is essentially a college summer project by a group (CHRIJ) at Boston College that is run by university students and faculty. Like most college projects (from any time of year), it hasn't achieved any true attention from any media outlet- other than the college's own newspaper. If the group itself had an entry I'd suggest redirecting there, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry and I'm unsure as to whether or not the CHRIJ would really qualify for one. It's a noble attempt (the declaration) at trying to solve a very pressing issue, but it hasn't received any coverage to speak of and fails notability guidelines. Of course there's also the issue that it reads like the CHRIJ is trying to use Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX for their viewpoints, so even if there was coverage we'd likely still have to WP:TNT the article to remove all of the promotional and non-neutral viewpoints- but there isn't any, so delete.

The UNRW 's actions in the area have indeed been in the news lately, and are noteworthy enough for a section in the article on that group, where it already is--as Dian Kjaergaard recognizes.

There are no secondary sources. The 2 press article given in the articles are not enough to assess any notoriary but they don't even mention any "UNRWA Reform Initiative". They just report unfamous propaganda around the refugees and the right of return :
"The United Nations Relief and Work Agency is the only UN refugee agency dedicated to a single group of people. It is the only agency that designates individuals as original refugees if they lived in the area for a minimum of two years, that acknowledges the descendants of original refugees as refugees as well, and the only one that actively encourages its clients to act on their “right of return.”
This has no notoriaty among scholars. For an organisation more than 60 years old, that's what we would need to keep this article.

I have now re-organized the article on UNRWA /info/en/?search=United_Nations_Relief_and_Works_Agency_for_Palestine_Refugees_in_the_Near_East. I have not removed any content, but tried to show a clean, clear structure throughout. I have changed two or three wordings to make them more neutral and added a bit of material and references. The next step will be to merge any useful UNRWA criticism points from this page (U.R.I.) to the UNRWA article. Then I will re-write the U.R.I. so that it describes the focus and results of the initiative rather than the broad background which has now been clarified in the UNRWA article. The U.R.I. article will also include some references to documentation, publications, etc, instead of including a huge list. I need a for more days to do this. Dian Kjaergaard ( talk) 21:51, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

what I think you may have done is add a somewhat disproportionate amount of negative material to that article. I remind you about the need for cautious editing in in this area. DGG ( talk ) 04:50, 16 August 2014 (UTC) reply

DGG: I think if you look carefully, I have actually added to the UNRWA article many positive things and acknowledgement of how difficult UNRWA's work is.

I think the reason you think there is more negative material is because I have used structure to reveal clearly what was already written in the article! Please re-read in the light of this information. And if you have specific suggestions for trimming, let me know. I fully support the need for dispassionate care.

Note also that the article has a very large amount of neutral and positive information about UNRWA which editors (not sure who) have pointed out is poorly documented. I would be willing to help clean that up, too!

Finally - please check the URI stub. Dian Kjaergaard ( talk) 11:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Yes,some of it is in the presentation. including the wide spacing of the material and the breaking of related material into separate paragraphs. But some of it is also in the wording, and in reporting such things as investigations by the US Congress as if they proved the facts alleged, and using an excessive number of quotes from those taking one side of the issue,and including sentences and words of evaluation ("However, there seem to be some serious problems". There are also some selective presentations of facts: "Pinner wrote in 1959 that the number of refugees...."); Pinner is not a neutral source, but a committed advocate, and the data he asserts is half a century old, yet presented in the article as part of the analysis of the current situation. As for balance, sections 6, 7, sand 8, almost all of which is negative, occupy about 70% of the article in length (not word count). I give the same advice as I give with my usual area, commercial COI: minimize adjectives.
I think your work does have considerable merit, and I offer these as suggestions on what to look at. I hope you will do some appropriate editing at integrating the material.

I'll comment a little on the main article page, but I generally try to avoid controversial political subjects. (For one thing, I generally want to retain the ability to use admin actions if needed). However, I think there is no reason for a separate page and no reason to comment there. It's as if we had separate pages for for the various individual initiatives of particular pressure and advocacy groups. The information belongs in two places only: First, the article on the group, if it is one of their major initiatives, and then the focus is on their participation, not the general issue--a link to it is normally sufficient. Second, the article on the matter at controversy, if they are one of the major participants as judged by people external to the group, and then only in proportion to the amount devoted to other participants in the debates. If groups A B, C, D .... Z all support or oppose something, we don't report separately in individual sections on what each of them have to say, nor do we necessarily include quotations from all of them--only from those that, based on outside comments, seem to be paid the most attention to. Anything more than that amounts to advocacy, not encyclopedic reporting. DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Normally my rule of thumb is to tread very gently when the subject is religion and to give as much latitude as possible when articles on religious topics show up at AfD. In my experience that has usually been how the community seems to work as well. But this article fails pretty much every test we have. To be frank I can't really even grasp what the subject is. The sources hugely fail RS and I can't find anything on Google that remotely supports a case for notability.

  • That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. I get what the article is trying to say: basically, it's looking at "unity of opposites" in religious symbols. Basically, it's a list of religious symbols that hold two meanings that are normally seen as distinctly separate but are united in the religious symbol. For example, the ankh can mean both death/life and male/female. I get where they're trying to go with this and it's not something that's just made up since it is referenced somewhat in various different texts (examples: [34], [35], [36], [37], [38]. [39], [40]). However the problem here is that there isn't a lot of stuff that specifically focuses on religious symbolism. It's mentioned somewhat in passing and often vaguely referred to, but for the most part this is pretty much WP:OR on behalf of the article creator because it's not exactly explicitly stated in the way that Wikipedia seems to like. I agree that the symbols they've listed would fall under the banner of "Religious symbolism of unity of opposites" and if they were writing a paper on this, I'd read it. In any case, I'm leaning towards merging some of this into unity of opposites and listing parts of it as an example. The ankh should be easy enough to verify since there are multiple sources that talk about the symbol's dual nature, but other parts will likely be a little bit harder.

  • Delete I'm concerned that this jumble of religious symbolism does not actually reflect any scholarship - it seems to be purely the result of a small number of editor's opinions.

The article topic is by virtual definition, a syncretism; the source is a peer-reviewed journal, and as such is a secondary source which is preferred in the WP-sense.

  • Keep and improve. I don't think that a valid rationale for deletion has been advanced. Even if this were a problem (and I don't think it is) it can be dealt with by rewriting the article. If necessary, the article could be reduced to a one line stub and rebuilt. We don't delete articles because they are WP:IMPERFECT. James500 ( talk) 02:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I think that the criticism that the article is "only the law" is particularly absurd. A WP article on a piece of legislation should be about the law (and especially black letter law). There is no reason whatsoever why it should necessarily include history, politics or sociology because these subjects are marginally relevant at best. An article about law should read like a law book such as Halsbury's Laws of England (a famous encyclopedia of law) and not like a sociology book or the like. James500 ( talk) 03:42, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
What this article does contain is a large number of expression of opinions that are not attributed to any source. These might be original research, but they could easily have been drawn from one of the many sources discussing this Act. These can be dealt with simply by finding a source for them or by excising altogether, and are not a reason to delete the article. I think the best thing to do might be to stubify the article and rebuild it. James500 ( talk) 04:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I have moved this article to The Exempted Limited Partnership Law, 2014 and stubified it to remove the uncited material and POV with this edit. The article should now be expanded. There are now no further conceivable objections whatsoever to the article on this obviously notable Act. James500 ( talk) 05:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
The page is much improved,(the page should not be the law verbatim as it was) but I don't understand why there doesn't need to be a link to where the law is written down(or other source describing its passage). On pages I edit where I talk about a statute I always link to where I found it so others know I wasn't just making it up. 331dot ( talk) 10:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Whilst this article does now include external links (in the references section), and whilst external links are desirable because they make verification easier, we have never had a requirement that an article must be based on at least one online source. The reason for this appears to be that many books and other documents have never been digitised with a scanner and are available only in printed hard copy form. James500 ( talk) 07:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply
I'm not saying there has to be an online link, but it wasn't really clear to me (as an outsider) where to look up the information in any form. All of that said, I hereby withdraw my request given the changes to the page as it stands now. 331dot ( talk) 11:18, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply

My main objection to this page is that it is a hoax. It has two pictures on it, both of which include the face of the subject very obviously super-imposed. Beyond this, the article has no sources.

Subject lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources, therefore fails Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for companies and organizations. Almost all sources link to the subject's database entry. However beside data entries there are four other sources in the article, one YouTube link (unreliable), one press release (unreliable), and two dead links. There is nothing helpful found on Google news and Google books. Perhaps creator would like to throw some light on the claim, which describe the subject in the lead subject as, "a global social enterprise".

A merge to cloud is possible, but I'm seeing very little coverage for what could be a neologism. Only sources I could really find are a thesis, and a few other sites that refer to this thesis. There are actually several, several sources about man-made clouds, but not under this name, so whether or not this can be kept, at least under this title, should now be discussed. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 11:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Failed to make this clearer earlier: the subject of this AfD is the term "Anthropocloud", not the concept of the man-made cloud. As it seems that the word Anthropocloud is a neologism that has not been covered in/used by reliable sources, should this article be kept, it should probably be moved to a different title. Note that Artificial cloud already exists, so I'm fine with a merge to that article. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Gallery added by Rococo1700

Good grief. I'm too tired from writing the Gennaro Serra article to write anymore, do not delete it because:

  • Gennaro Serra was a member of the House of Carafa, one of the most prominent aristocratic families in Naples, if not Italy, who lived in the monumental Palazzo Serra di Cassano in Naples, but who, in some ways working against his natal class, helped found the Parthenopean Republic, but despite surrendering to Cardinal Ruffo, the surrender agreement was in part voided by Admiral Nelson and his squeeze Lady Hamilton, leading to the execution of Eleonora Pimentel, Luisa Sanfelice ,Mario Pagano, and Ignazio Ciaia. One of whom argued with him about the wisdom of establishing a cavalry unit, other arrested with him for distributing the first copies of the declaration of the rights of man in naples, and some of whom were executed on the same stage on the same day. Luisa is an example of also how the counter revolutionary purge hit the aristocracy, and how it later influence artists; Serra's execution gave an idea to Tito Angelini. Good grief! Rococo1700 ( talk) 06:51, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE COMMENTARY ON THIS DISCUSSION!!!!!!! Good grief. I'm too tired from writing the Gennaro Serra article to write anymore.

I find it editorial that I have to justify why not to delete a biography on an individual whose memory is still around two hundred years later for rather earthshaking events in the history of Naples, but those who wish to delete it, do not have to make no effort at explaining themselves. I have seen zero, zero effort by anyone to justify why this article has to be deleted.

Apparently an important figure in the short-lived Parthenopean Republic (eg, the book Terronismo by Marco Demarco refers to his life events as a popular myth).

Biography of a person whose only substantive claim of notability is having famous relatives — except that notability is not inherited, so that doesn't make him notable by itself — and which is relying exclusively on primary sources (one genealogy PDF, two webpages of organizations he was directly involved in, and one brief notice of his death in a British estates database) with not a whit of reliable source coverage to demonstrate that he gets past even one of our actual inclusion rules.

  • Delete. Its capacity for confusion with similar terms makes this an extremely unhelpful word. The closest dictionary entries in the OED are 1. philander, n.2 1737 ...(Usu. in form filander.) The dusky wallaby or pademelon; 2. philander, v. 1778 ...intr. Esp. of a man: to flirt; to engage in casual sexual or romantic encounters; 3. philanderer, n. 1841...A man who philanders; a male flirt.... Coining of this word would bring about about an unnecessary clash of meaning between philandrer or philandrist (= a person who loves men) and philanderer (= most usually, a man who loves women). I can imagine such mischief being promoted only by users having a poor knowledge of English, or whose intention is deliberately to confuse and obfuscate.

  • Anything but delete Whatever Terekeme may mean, Karapapak means "black hat", and is the name given them, assuming they are actually the same, by Russians. So really, the article on them, again assuming they are not two different groups, should be called Terekeme, as they call themselves, and Karapapak, a trivial nickname referring to the style of their hats, the redirect to it. Anarchangel ( talk) 00:15, 18 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Suspected bad faith nomination: the editor has just placed a comment on my shared ip page, from which this article was edited. the comment was about me supposedly "blanking" serbian film article, while i added pov tag (and a category). checking last nomination, which was relatively recent and retracted by nominator, testifies that motivation for this is not only bogus, but wastes community time. and yes, vanja bulic is a very well known journalist - just read last nomination. 213.198.221.171 ( talk) 22:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC) reply
At the previous AfD nomination, the nominator did not give a good reason for it's deletion; he should have used WP policies and guidelines to support his claims. This is why that nomination was a bad faith nomination, but that does not make this one bad faith; I expressed a concern that this topic may not meet the notability guidelines listed above. As I've already told you, WP:NOTAGAIN is not a valid argument to use in deletion discussions. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 20:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply
the previous nomination does not seem to be bad faith nomination; the nominator was not knowledgeable about the subject, and it was poorly sourced. your nomination seems to be in bad faith, because of its motivation, as explained, and also because the previous nomination had a discussion that refuted all your supposed points. thus, i highly suspect that you did not nominate this because of your issue as you claim (though you put supposedly supportive policies), but because you checked what articles were edited from ip that edited page serbian film, that you claimed was "blanking". either that, or it is a weird coincidence. in any case, i believe this is bad faith nomination, which has nothing to do with the merits of the subject of the article (which is, as can be easily seen from discussion before, both notable, and satisfies all the criteria that you claim are basis for deletion - both author, and reliable sources etc; but that is no surprising, since your motivation is in something elese apparently). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.221.171 ( talk) 21:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Okay, but you're going to have to find verifiable sources to support these claims. Otherwise, your opinion will not be considered; you have used WP:ASSERTN, WP:MUST, and WP:ITEXISTS, which are not valid arguments to use in a deletion discussion. Qxukhgiels ( talk)
Unstruck. You don't get to strike other people's comments, particularly not in a deletion debate where you were the nominator, and especially not for spurious reasons.

The argument above, as I've already mentioned, relies on WP:AADD, so that is why I have struck it. Reporting me at ANI for this would accomplish little, if not nothing at all. Also, how about reading this. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 21:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Qxukhgiels, you should keep calm and point out issues with people's comments without interfering with them.

As for WP:GNG, Bulić is all over Politika, [15] Serbian newspaper-of-record, and he's very prominent in other Serbian papers too.

  • Weak delete, I'm tending towards delete. I found one Houston Chronicle article ( The Waiter (film) was filmed in Houston) which verifies the film exists, though is almost entirely about the illustrious biography of the film's main star, Charles Durning. It was clearly a coup to get Dunning for this low budget film, but I can only presume from the lack of evidence that the long list of alleged awards (see IMDb profile) received by The Waiter were very minor.

I cannot find any sources about this footballer, even to establish his existence; all are rather about Titi Camara, who shares the same first and last name but was born in 1972. The article creator has added only general pages that require searching, and those where I have been able to search (some do not respond when I try to search) are listing only Titi Camara. The article still has 2 footnotes (2 others were removed in a recent edit as useless), so the "unreferenced BLP" tag is strictly inappropriate, but none of the 4 mentions this Aboubacar Camara.

Nor does he appear in ForaDeJogo.net's squad list for Estrela Amadora for 2002/03. As GiantSnowman says above, there's no-one of this name/dob on the NFT international players database.

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

I'm nominating this list for deletion as this is an unverifiable original research. Also, the term "supervillain" itself cannot be well-defined, which further supports the fact that it cannot be verified. The problem is here since 2007 (see the previous AfDs), therefore it is highly unlikely that this article will be fixed. Hence this article satisfies WP:DEL#REASONs #6,7. It also fails all five criteria of WP:GNG, especially "significance in coverage". Lastly, Wikipedia is not a publisher of fan inventions or directory. Therefore, it should be deleted.

  • Keep The list article helps with navigation, showing people where to find similar articles they may be interested in. Everyone on the list is female and has a super power and is a villain, so its not original research. They are called this in their own articles and even featured in Category:Female supervillains already. The list would be more useful with additional information added for each entry, listing their super power, and when they debuted, and in what comic book. Dream Focus 19:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Does it make the group notable? Besides, every claim on "super power" and "villainity" needs to be sourced on the list, and I see none. Forbidden User ( talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
It does not. As long as that information is in the article being linked to, its fine. Dream Focus 13:40, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep as complement to Category:Female supervillains per WP:CLN, and as navigational list per WP:LISTPURP. As Dream Focus explains above, the claim that it's unverifiable whether a character is 1) female and a 2) supervillan is simply nonsense, as the original sources almost always use the label of "superhero" or "supervillain". Citing to the previous AFDs is no help to the nominator, as both closed as "keep" and did not raise the same arguments so they are hardly evidence of an unresolved "problem" existing "since 2007". postdlf ( talk) 20:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
It is nonsense to say that the problem is not here in 2007, as the noms both raise the same problems I raise. Your "always" claim is unsupported as well. Anyway, WP:N is the relevant guideline here. Throwing others are not really useful. Forbidden User ( talk) 10:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

    The point is a complementary navigational index. Plus it has the potential to be annotated and organized in different ways, which the category cannot. But I shouldn't have to tell you that if you've already read through WP:CLN, particularly WP:NOTDUP. postdlf ( talk) 19:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
    While comic relief is of course valued on WP, and makes it into quite a few essays, including the Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose that NOTSTUPID references, I have always felt that the comic essays were almost universally the worst essays, that their value as humor was the grease that slid them in, where their sheer value as policy was lacking. I am frankly horrified to see that an ad nauseum/ WP:BLUDGEONing away at the reader with five or so reiterations of the phrase "bad idea" has actually made it onto the WP:NOT page, which is actually a Policy rather than an essay. More to the point of this discussion, NOTSTUPID is a derivative of Ignore All Rules. Anyone can fly IAR up the flagpole at any time; what is important is to say WHY you think that this particular usage of a rule is wrong in this case.
    I should add, that the point is not whether you, one editor alone consider it pointless or not. The point is that the policy discussion, long ago, involving dozens of editors, and the tacit acceptance of the outcome of the discussion by thousands more editors is relevant. WP:CONSENSUS has determined that cats and lists are not redundant to each other. The argument that it is pointless is not irrelevant to a new discussion about the relationship between cats and lists, but good luck finding anyone who wants to debate that, basically. Already decided. Anarchangel ( talk) 00:40, 18 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - As WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been done and limited improvements to improve this over a category hasn't happened yet. I'll do some work, but as a matter of reference, most of these villains already contain numerous links to their criteria and portrayal in media. I'll keep to the easier lists which are ever present to start with. WP:NOTDUP clearly applies and we should aim for a little more than a mere list.

Initially written as an advertisement, subject appears to be failing Wikipedia general notability guideline and Wikipedia notability guideline for biographies because it lacks significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources. It does not even meet WP:ANYBIO standard. What I find, are passing mentions somewhere under cast section, of the films she is supposed to appear into. There is NOT even a single line dedicate to her in any of the reliable sources, I see. I may be wrong. But again, bring out sources that establish her notability, if there are really any. She is not-notable for acting with notable actors or in notable films because, Notability is not inherited. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 18:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC) reply

You added a link to http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Lamb_of_God/New_American_Gospel/183, which isn't a reliable source, a web store, again not a reliable source, and a primary source from the band itself.

  • Weak keep. After Walter Görlitz prodded this last month I turned it into a redirect, because I agreed at the time that it was unlikely to be notable. Looking at it again in light of the sources dug up by Lukejordan02 I think the handful of reviews are are probably enough to satisfy WP:GNG, though of course better referencing would be ideal.

    • It doesn't matter if the album is from a major or a minor artist, each album must have its own level of notability. Albums cannot piggyback on the notability of the creator. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 03:50, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply
      • As someone more inclined to inclusionism than not, my opinion remains unchanged. While it is not a work I personally am familiar with (not really a LOG fan), I feel that its status as a studio album is notability on its own, being that it was released by a fairly big act. Again, if it were the 2001 Eastern Canada Club Tour EP, I'd agree with you, but I feel LP albums have more notability on the basis of being albums, and the act which recorded them.-- L1A1 FAL ( talk) 23:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC) reply

"Official websites" are almost always for promotional purposes — that's the very nature of the beast, and its why we don't accept them as sufficient referencing in and of themselves to support encyclopedia articles. But the fact that his own website is promotional is irrelevant, if the reliable sourcing is present to counter its advertorial tendencies with neutral content — and as of now, that sourcing is present.

  • Update: I've added quite a bit of referencing — certainly some more would still be a good idea, but the challenge is that I don't have access to a database archive of French-language media from the 1990s (which is when the largest amount of coverage of him would have been published), so I have to rely mainly on web-accessible sources for the moment — and have toned down some of the promotional language and the trivia. One problem I'm still having is that while I'm finding a lot of general acknowledgements that he recorded two unsuccessful albums before his commercial breakthrough, I'm not finding hide nor hair of their titles (there's one pre-Drôle album credited to him by discogs.com, but for a variety of reasons I'm not confident enough that it's really him, rather than a different musician who merely happened to have the same name, to add it here without another source for confirmation.)

  • Keep This calls him "One of the biggest names in British music videos" and suggests that he has won multiple awards (as does this). Here's a Music week article confirming one of the awards mentioned. This is pretty good as well. A Google search for Wiz "factory films" or Wiz "oil factory" does confirm many of the credits for the videos claimed, even if it doesn't turn up much in the way of material talking directly about him. I think there's enough there. His name, incidentally, appears to be "WIZ" (without the periods) in most sources. Black Kite (talk) 21:52, 20 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Those are more sources, perhaps Music Week is closest to reliable. The Music Week site have some promising search-hits: [30]. BTW, Wiz is a disambiguationpage, should he then be "WIZ (music video director)? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 22:48, 20 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete ANYBIO says "a well-known and significant award or honor." Getting an MBE certainly helps. But some honor handed out en masse by one particular leader in one country is not automatically "significant." This appears to be a less exclusive honor than several related ones. The relevant article indicates there is no stated limit to how many MBEs can be awarded in a given year. Have any such honors been handed out to persons for things other than great achievements, such as to curry political favor, or to a friend of no particular accomplishments? What if the leader of any other country of population 60 something million handed out an honor to someone. Automatically notable as well? We should not hand over the keys to Wikipedia notability to any one national leader with a box full of ribbons to hand out each year. There should still be reliable sources to satisfy WP:BIO.

  • The main Madonna biography article is VERY large and the list of artists influenced by her (which is very extensive purely from a numbers standpoint) uses more than 200 sources - obviously, that's well warranted. The Beyoncé one could easily be kept in her main article as well, but that's not what we're discussing. See WP:WAX. – Chase ( talk / contribs) 17:36, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Well the article is well-sourced. And the list of artists influenced by her is also very, very lengthy. You can't possibly fit the article with Brandy's main biography, which is also rather extensive. No artist is listed without a proper source. Malcolmo ( talk) 22:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • It already fits perfectly fine in the legacy section of Brandy's article without the excess fluff (which resembles a fansite more than an encyclopedia), trivial information ("So-and-So is my favorite Brandy album!", etc.), and excessive quotes. And there are several artists listed without sources. – Chase ( talk / contribs) 23:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

It is not trivial information, it is crucial to the actual article, and describes how a plethora of leading artists within a genre have acknowledged her as an inspiration to her work. It seems as if you are downplaying the entire genre of R&B music right now... These quotes are not invented and far from fansite-ish. They are actual statements by professionals within the business. Find me an artist in the list that has no source attached? Clearly the article is vaild and should be kept, wether it can be improved, that is another debate.

  • Delete. This is essentially a college summer project by a group (CHRIJ) at Boston College that is run by university students and faculty. Like most college projects (from any time of year), it hasn't achieved any true attention from any media outlet- other than the college's own newspaper. If the group itself had an entry I'd suggest redirecting there, but there doesn't seem to be such an entry and I'm unsure as to whether or not the CHRIJ would really qualify for one. It's a noble attempt (the declaration) at trying to solve a very pressing issue, but it hasn't received any coverage to speak of and fails notability guidelines. Of course there's also the issue that it reads like the CHRIJ is trying to use Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX for their viewpoints, so even if there was coverage we'd likely still have to WP:TNT the article to remove all of the promotional and non-neutral viewpoints- but there isn't any, so delete.

  • Delete outrageously polemical POV article, with an intrinsic bias that cannot be corrected; it's not about a "reform"--it's about an attack by[ the CNEPR on another organization. The UNRW 's actions in the area have indeed been in the news lately, and are noteworthy enough for a section in the article on that group, where it already is--as Dian Kjaergaard recognizes.

There are no secondary sources. The 2 press article given in the articles are not enough to assess any notoriary but they don't even mention any "UNRWA Reform Initiative". They just report unfamous propaganda around the refugees and the right of return :
"The United Nations Relief and Work Agency is the only UN refugee agency dedicated to a single group of people. It is the only agency that designates individuals as original refugees if they lived in the area for a minimum of two years, that acknowledges the descendants of original refugees as refugees as well, and the only one that actively encourages its clients to act on their “right of return.”
This has no notoriaty among scholars. For an organisation more than 60 years old, that's what we would need to keep this article.

I have now re-organized the article on UNRWA /info/en/?search=United_Nations_Relief_and_Works_Agency_for_Palestine_Refugees_in_the_Near_East. I have not removed any content, but tried to show a clean, clear structure throughout. I have changed two or three wordings to make them more neutral and added a bit of material and references. The next step will be to merge any useful UNRWA criticism points from this page (U.R.I.) to the UNRWA article. Then I will re-write the U.R.I. so that it describes the focus and results of the initiative rather than the broad background which has now been clarified in the UNRWA article. The U.R.I. article will also include some references to documentation, publications, etc, instead of including a huge list. I need a for more days to do this. Dian Kjaergaard ( talk) 21:51, 15 August 2014 (UTC) reply

what I think you may have done is add a somewhat disproportionate amount of negative material to that article. I remind you about the need for cautious editing in in this area. DGG ( talk ) 04:50, 16 August 2014 (UTC) reply

DGG: I think if you look carefully, I have actually added to the UNRWA article many positive things and acknowledgement of how difficult UNRWA's work is.

I think the reason you think there is more negative material is because I have used structure to reveal clearly what was already written in the article! Please re-read in the light of this information. And if you have specific suggestions for trimming, let me know. I fully support the need for dispassionate care.

Note also that the article has a very large amount of neutral and positive information about UNRWA which editors (not sure who) have pointed out is poorly documented. I would be willing to help clean that up, too!

Finally - please check the URI stub. Dian Kjaergaard ( talk) 11:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Yes,some of it is in the presentation. including the wide spacing of the material and the breaking of related material into separate paragraphs. But some of it is also in the wording, and in reporting such things as investigations by the US Congress as if they proved the facts alleged, and using an excessive number of quotes from those taking one side of the issue,and including sentences and words of evaluation ("However, there seem to be some serious problems". There are also some selective presentations of facts: "Pinner wrote in 1959 that the number of refugees...."); Pinner is not a neutral source, but a committed advocate, and the data he asserts is half a century old, yet presented in the article as part of the analysis of the current situation. As for balance, sections 6, 7, sand 8, almost all of which is negative, occupy about 70% of the article in length (not word count). I give the same advice as I give with my usual area, commercial COI: minimize adjectives.
I think your work does have considerable merit, and I offer these as suggestions on what to look at. I hope you will do some appropriate editing at integrating the material. Further discussion does not really belong here--I have copied our exchange over to the article talk p., DGG ( talk ) 19:03, 16 August 2014 (UTC) reply

I'll comment a little on the main article page, but I generally try to avoid controversial political subjects. (For one thing, I generally want to retain the ability to use admin actions if needed). However, I think there is no reason for a separate page and no reason to comment there. It's as if we had separate pages for for the various individual initiatives of particular pressure and advocacy groups. The information belongs in two places only: First, the article on the group, if it is one of their major initiatives, and then the focus is on their participation, not the general issue--a link to it is normally sufficient. Second, the article on the matter at controversy, if they are one of the major participants as judged by people external to the group, and then only in proportion to the amount devoted to other participants in the debates. If groups A B, C, D .... Z all support or oppose something, we don't report separately in individual sections on what each of them have to say, nor do we necessarily include quotations from all of them--only from those that, based on outside comments, seem to be paid the most attention to. Anything more than that amounts to advocacy, not encyclopedic reporting. DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 17 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Normally my rule of thumb is to tread very gently when the subject is religion and to give as much latitude as possible when articles on religious topics show up at AfD. In my experience that has usually been how the community seems to work as well. But this article fails pretty much every test we have. To be frank I can't really even grasp what the subject is. The sources hugely fail RS and I can't find anything on Google that remotely supports a case for notability.

  • That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. I get what the article is trying to say: basically, it's looking at "unity of opposites" in religious symbols. Basically, it's a list of religious symbols that hold two meanings that are normally seen as distinctly separate but are united in the religious symbol. For example, the ankh can mean both death/life and male/female. I get where they're trying to go with this and it's not something that's just made up since it is referenced somewhat in various different texts (examples: [34], [35], [36], [37], [38]. [39], [40]). However the problem here is that there isn't a lot of stuff that specifically focuses on religious symbolism. It's mentioned somewhat in passing and often vaguely referred to, but for the most part this is pretty much WP:OR on behalf of the article creator because it's not exactly explicitly stated in the way that Wikipedia seems to like. I agree that the symbols they've listed would fall under the banner of "Religious symbolism of unity of opposites" and if they were writing a paper on this, I'd read it. In any case, I'm leaning towards merging some of this into unity of opposites and listing parts of it as an example. The ankh should be easy enough to verify since there are multiple sources that talk about the symbol's dual nature, but other parts will likely be a little bit harder.

  • Merge sourced material with Unity of opposites. The real topic seems the concept being a part of religious teachings and traditions.

  • Delete I'm concerned that this jumble of religious symbolism does not actually reflect any scholarship - it seems to be purely the result of a small number of editor's opinions.

The article topic is by virtual definition, a syncretism; the source is a peer-reviewed journal, and as such is a secondary source which is preferred in the WP-sense. An "academic source" would tend to be a primary source, and thus is less-preferred. And tangentially, just because Joseph Campbell represents a "typical" viewpoint (rather than a "scolarly" one), it would be no less valid as far as WP is concerned.

Fails WP:ORG. Not a notable organization. What's worse, there appears to be two different but separate organizations! One based in Oklahoma and one based in India Canada. jps ( talk) 00:37, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:BIO. I cannot find any means by which this person is notable. Not WP:ARTIST and not WP:PROF. Page appears mostly as a soapbox to me and I can't see how to fix it since the person simply doesn't seem notable. jps ( talk) 00:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The references and links in the article show he was the focus of a feature article in The Atlantic, was featured in a segment on CBS news, and does appear to be "originating a significant new concept, theory or technique" per WP:ARTIST. Gccwang ( talk) 03:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
    • If we had more sources like The Atlantic interview, I certainly would not be here. However, I can't help but think that this doesn't quite rise to the level of coverage we would want for a WP:BLP. jps ( talk) 14:48, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep There are multiple independent reliable sources in this article including The Atlantic, Forbes, Wired, CBS, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and here is one from the Washington Post [42]. This guy is definitely notable WP:GNG. I am One of Many ( talk) 18:16, 21 August 2014 (UTC) reply
