This person is significant for his role in
one event: the aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown. Other than that, he is an unremarkable police officer. The coverage in external sources consists of:
Local coverage announcing his hiring.
Local news stories mentioning him in passing (not the main subject; many police officers and pretty much all police chiefs in the United States have this level of coverage).
The Michael Brown shooting.
Even his role in that one event is minor, and our articles on the event only mention him briefly. —

Strong delete. Indeed, the original French article has just been deleted, or rather, moved to where it belongs, i.e.

Li M'Hâ Ong is a droll "Chinese transcription" meaning
nail file (no connection whatsoever with the Chinese pirate
Limahong). The French page was created in June 2004, as a full-fledged article from the start, by
user:Lamdan (who never contributed anything else in connection with China), which implies that the only citation in the article most probably is absolute bogus, added up by

This version is even more blatantly a campaign brochure than the first one was — in fact, it appears to have been copied and pasted wholesale from his own campaign website, with only minor stylistic adjustments for Wikipedia formatting. But he still doesn't qualify for an article on Wikipedia just for being a candidate for office, and this still doesn't actually demonstrate any preexisting notability (or source it anywhere but his own website, an invalid
primary source even if the article wasn't just a straight copy-paste of its content.) No prejudice against the creation of a properly sourced new article in October if he wins election to the mayoralty — but he's not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime, and even if he does win he still won't be entitled to just restore and keep this without a massive content and referencing revision. I'm speedying this as a blatant advertisement.

Weak keep. A case of
what to do before coming to AfD. While the sourcing wasn't available in a
WP:VG/RS search alone, there is certainly significant coverage for the
general notability guideline with the expanded search terms (except that Polygon forums link, which should be struck as user-generated and unreliable). However, the sourcing is hella weak, with not nearly enough for a full-featured article as of now. As such, I would recommend a merge to the series article when the editors are ready. As for this AfD, the consensus is a clear keep with a notice to the nominator to consider redirection to a quality redirect target (the series) before engaging AfD. czar

(Self-)promotional article about a thoroughly utterly non-notable artist. The only verifiable "source" in the article, which isn't even close to being a
reliable source, is a
web site that describes itself as a site that "provides artists and photographers with sales and marketing tools to help simplify and accelerate their careers". A sort of Facebook for artists where they can write their own CV.

Kind of funny to say as Wikipedia is definitely a collection of information that can be subjectively considered
informative or
harmless or both... depending upon who one asks. What IS compelling, no matter the topic being discussed, is that notability is found through coverage and a suitable stub is not contrary to policy or guideline. And, as this article has a very specific inclusion description set forth in its lede, it is not indiscriminate ( See
WP:Discriminate ). That said, I do not think this short article would over-whelm the base topic at
Star Wars. Merge and set a Redirect to a new section at
Cultural impact of Star Warsunless expanded to show real-world relationships... through wider coverage, recognition, and analysis and commentary of the topic in secondary sources. Schmidt, Michael Q. 01:43, 28 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Redirect/Delete - It's nothing more than a specific type of
binge-watching. I can't find anything that suggests these marathons are anything particularly notable/significant/different. Would do better redirected to
Cultural impact of Star Wars.
moluɐɯ 22:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Merge into
Star Wars. It's pretty much just focuses on a specific movie series, which can be covered in a few sentences in another article. However, just for future reference, if there is a TV show or a movie that has an ability to be watched in a marathon (in which the act of doing the marathon becomes a cultural phenomena), then perhaps that could warrant its own article. Such as, for example, the TV series
24, which hypothetically, people might watch it for 24 hours straight, which could conceivably be a cultural phenomena independent of the actual television series itself. The key way to distinguish a television marathon or movie marathon from the actual movie/show itself (specifically, to create another article about the act of the marathon), is that people are doing the marathon for any reason other than that they like the show. Star Wars marathon fails this litmus test, because people only watch it because they really like Star Wars. A
24 marathon would pass (if covered in significant sources), if the people watching it did the marathon because a season of 24 is 24 hours long, which is the length of a day, so people would watch it not because they like the TV show, but because they want to spend all day watching TV. Yet this test only precludes having its own article, because the Star Wars marathon should be included in the main
Star Wars article, for example, in a few sentences, as it is (barely) covered in secondary sources. If it had more coverage, it could have its own section.

Keep Anyone who appeared on DID was clearly notable, not only by virtue of having an entire BBC documentary, broadcast nationally, made about them, but also for whatever reason they were chosen to appear - we just don't know what that is, yet. I'm awaiting a transcript of the programme, in order to establish what that was in this case. Not only that, but there have been well over 2970 people (2992 episodes at the time of writing; a very small number of people have appeared twice) featured on Desert Island Discs. We have an article on each (with just a few still to be written; I did another four yesterday). It would be farcical to have an article about all but one (or even all but a handful). Even
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS specifically refers to sets of a articles (such as those about DID castaways, of which this is one) as a likely exception. To quote: "If someone were, as part of their reasoning for keep, to say that every other main character in Star Wars has an article, this may well be a valid point.

S. Rich (

The mere fact of having been on a radio or TV show does not, by itself, confer enough notability to keep an article that is sourced only to a
primary source evidencing their participation in the show. We do not, for example, automatically keep an article about every single person who ever competed on The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent; we only keep articles about the ones who can be
reliably sourced as actually passing a notability guideline for things they accomplished before or after appearing on the show. So while you certainly have a valid point that Rubinstein might have been chosen to appear on the show because he was already encyclopedically notable for other things, the time for an article about him is when you can properly source what those other things actually were — not when the only substantive thing you can say about him is that he appeared on the show.

If that were true, we wouldn't have any notability criteria to distinguish notable from non-notable members of the same class of topic. We would, for example, have to keep an article about every single writer who ever published a book, regardless of the quality of sourcing that could or couldn't actually be provided, as long as it was possible to verify that the book existed. But that's not how it works — no matter how many books you can verify the existence of, the writer only gets into Wikipedia if you can actually point to
reliable source coverage which verifies that they pass one or more of the criteria at
WP:CREATIVE. So some writers get in here and some don't — which is inconsistent by your definition, but fully compliant with the purpose of an encyclopedia.

There's some claim of notability in the article, when said, "[..]also representing India in many matches from 1974-1985[..]", but it appears to me, a self-made claim, because I could not find any evidence to
verify the claim.
Subject basically was a gov. employee, and a volleyball player who played for some university and an Indian state, but did not attract any media coverage. By SPORTSCRIT, it is not suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Am I missing something? -

MarnetteD, editors need to ignore the

THIS Saga Studios is a
Danish film production company that produced 81 films in the 38 years from 1936 (pre-WWII) through 1974. I'd be surprised if there was no Danish coverage at all. Books? History texts? Old news articles? If sourcable as part of Danish film history, we'd have an historic notability with
no expectation that a company apparently disbanded in 1974 would remain in the news for 40 more years. Just sayin'. Schmidt, Michael Q. 09:20, 23 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment - Thanks for clearing up the stuff about the old AFD. If the company was at all important in the history of film it should have received some comment in some "History of" research. Many film companies have come and gone. Just because they existed does not men that they meet WikiP's standards of

A check of the Danish Wikipedia shows that they do not have an article for Saga Studios. Some of the companies films are listed though. Christian75 has done well in finding one mention but - to quote from
WP:COMPANY "An organization is generally considered
notable if it has been the subject of "significant coverage" in
reliable, independent
secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." I only see "incidental coverage" from this source or any other at this time.

Keep as a stub -- Saga Studio was a significant producer of Danish films from 1942 to 1974 -- enough to be mentioned in the
Danish Encyclopedia. (It produced the the comedy hits of
Dirch Passer and the iconic Danish film Soldaten og Jenny). I expect there are plenty of non-internet book and journal sources. However, if we have consensus to delete, I suggest it be redirected to the studio's founder
John Olsen (filmmaker). —

The good thing about redirects is that in most cases the history is left behind. This means that when the movie does get more coverage, we can un-redirect it and not lose a thing. The thing is, we can't guarantee that the film will release next month, as delays happen all the time. We also can't guarantee that it'll gain coverage per
WP:CRYSTAL. Redirecting it is the best option here for the most part. For what it's worth, I do think that the movie will gain coverage enough to warrant a redirect so for now just be patient.

Promotional and non-notable. The group runs a volunteer program in various localities, with the extremely vague objective to “serve the community in meaningful and fun ways.” The only evidence for notability is a scattering of routine notices from local papers, which are totally unreliable as a source for notability of local events, because they are altogether indiscriminate.
The article further gives the impression the group sponsors the
President's Volunteer Service Award, whereas it is merely one of the many groups that recommend people for this totally unimportant certificate--being a "certifying organization" is insignificant, when I see from the article on the award that "a Certifying Organization .. is any group that wishes to be able to award the President's Volunteer Service Award" and that "Any program would qualify for the award".
As for promotionalism: There is an excessive use of quotations, especially displayed quotations, for things that just need plain statements or add no information, where at most a reference link would serve--that's a characteristic of advertising prose, not encyclopedia articles. The use of routine local press mentions to show significance is another promotional technique--and what hey mention is very minor.
There are two reasons for using promotional content, and I think both are applicable: first, in order to show how good an organization is, instead of describing it. Second, because there is insufficient objective material. DGG (

Neither term (Obesophobia) nor (Pocrescophobia) is the subject of any secondary source. Article is a collection of material about similar subject matter that make it look like these terms are valid and notable medical ones - i.e. misrepresenting terms as notable ones. Not a DSM diagnosis either.

Delete. There are a number of websites that use the term "obesophobia". However none of these are
reliable sources. None of the references provided are actually about obesophobia. They are mainly about anorexia nervosa. The term seems to be little more than a neologism. There is only
one paper in PubMed that mentions it. This is a paper that is translated from Spanish—and it uses the term only in inverted commas. ("Fat phobia" is mentioned in a number of PubMed papers.) Reference 7 (Silversides, Have North Americans taken "fat phobia" too far?) actually does not seem to be listed in PubMed.

Redirect to
Fat Phobia Scale. The term gets 32 GScholar hits, not a lot. "Fat phobia" seems the more common term with 1,260 GScholar hits. Obesophobia is mentioned in articles about anorexia nervosa. While the term seems real and is used in RS, there are not the multiple in-depth independent RS needed for
WP:GNG notability. It seems a plausible search term, however, so a redirect to
Fat Phobia Scale, where fat phobia is talked about, seems the best option. We don't have an article on

Keep The article has lots of problems, mostly in not using enough references and for having a confusing name, but I think it could be renamed to the popular term "
Fat phobia" which does not have an article and which is well-covered in media. The content of this article seems to me to match the concept of fat phobia. One problem with this is that the article is actually about reflective fat phobia, or a person's own fear of becoming fat for negative results, and not discrimination against others. Fat phobia is not quite the right name for this; obesophobia probably is not the right name either. But if the content is backed by sources then it seems like a plausible topic for an article.
Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Merge This article should be renamed Fat Phobia, and the contents of the article

Comment: I haven't seen this company on any of the references referred to as an SEO organisation. If the initial sentence needs changing I don't see that as a reason for deletion. What about all the references and awards? I'm quite concerned by the hostility shown, the IP comment and Viam comment, as they seem to come from new users. You can see their contributions
here and

Comment - About the manga not being in Anime News Network's encyclopedia, that doesn't really reflect whether the series is notable, but instead just reflects that it hasn't been released in the United States. There are far more manga submitted in Anime News Network's submission queue than the staff has time to add, so series that have been released in the US or that are by mangaka who are well known in the US get priority to be added. A manga can be pretty well known in Japan and still not be in the Encyclopedia if it hasn't been released in the US.

This article discusses two different topics: a TiVo maintenance screen and a Xbox system failure screen. Those two devices have no relation to each other. This article is like a
WP:COATRACK, except worse, because there is no coherent topic to begin with.
Also, neither topic is
sourced at all. I doubt either would pass
WP:GNG: there is simply nothing to write about other than "if this device fails to function properly, an error screen appears, contact customer support to fix that" — in-depth coverage in independent sources of either simply cannot exist. —
Keφr 08:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)reply
The TiVo failure mode is discussed on 4 separate pages of
How to Do Everything with Your TiVo (McGraw-Hill Publishers) and on
page 24 of "TiVo Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools" (O'Reilly Media). Both of these sources actually call it the "Green Screen of Death". Accordingly
Green Screen of Death is at least plausible redirect to
TiVo and should not be deleted. So I suggest a redirect with or without merge.
James500 (

Screen of death might be a better target for merger (of whatever content the sources support) and redirection.
James500 (

There is no sourced content to merge right now, and if the target article does not mention the term, redirecting makes no sense. And both sources seem to be barely mentioning that the thing exists anyway. —
Keφr 19:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Your argument makes no sense. Either
TiVo or
Screen of deathought to discuss this topic and, since adequate sources are available, you are in a position to add a discussion of this topic to that article and you ought to do so. By your logic, every time an article is vandalized by being blanked, all redirects to that article must be deleted. And all I have to do to defeat your argument is to add a discussion of the "green screen of death" to that article.
James500 (

TiVo (or one of its daughter articles) where its inclusion can't possibly be any form of synthesis.
James500 (

Screen of death is a coatrack is not going to work, because that article is meant to be a disambiguation page. (This was decided at the last AfD in 2009). And disambiguation pages don't have to have a coherent topic. (Though it might require reworking).

Comment. This is a tough one. It did receive significant coverage, and has to be viewed as part of the larger Hamas-Israel conflict, having been one of the attacks perpetuated on the Israeli side, as opposed to the Israeli incursion into Gaza. That's how most of the media portrayed it, and given the reduced number of casualties on the Israeli population, this might be significant enough to merit an article. I abstain from voting though, because I'm not knowledgeable enough on the notability of events.

This article is sourced entirely to primary sources that are not credibly independent of the subject. It is, moreover,
WP:OWNed by
DEINationalOffice(
talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log), an evident SPA who clearly has a conflict of interests editing in this area. The subject does not appear to be a member of the
Association of College Honor Societies, the main governing body for such societies, and there has been some unconfirmed buzz on the internet about it being a scam. Under the circumstances, absent independent secondary sources (and with the Delta Epsilon Iota National Office actively editing its own article to make it appear in a favorable light), it seems best to delete it. If sufficient secondary sourcing can be found, then the article could possibly be rewritten as a stub based on those sources. But given the circumstances, I should think that the demands for neutral secondary sourcing should be quite high here.

Keep: Connacht Schools is the weakest of the provincial competitions, but if this province is non-notable, logically, the same applies to the other three provinces. And if we did that, believe me, Wikipedia would be making headlines in Ireland. While I know that
WP:OSE is normally non-kosher reasoning here, if you delete one province's article, as @Ww2censor says, you leave a quarter of the story untold.

Local coverage announcing his hiring.

Li M'Hâ Ong is a droll "Chinese transcription" meaning
nail file (no connection whatsoever with the Chinese pirate
Limahong). The French page was created in June 2004, as a full-fledged article from the start, by
user:Lamdan (who never contributed anything else in connection with China), which implies that the only citation in the article most probably is absolute bogus, added up by

This version is even more blatantly a campaign brochure than the first one was — in fact, it appears to have been copied and pasted wholesale from his own campaign website, with only minor stylistic adjustments for Wikipedia formatting. But he still doesn't qualify for an article on Wikipedia just for being a candidate for office, and this still doesn't actually demonstrate any preexisting notability (or source it anywhere but his own website, an invalid
primary source even if the article wasn't just a straight copy-paste of its content.) No prejudice against the creation of a properly sourced new article in October if he wins election to the mayoralty — but he's not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime, and even if he does win he still won't be entitled to just restore and keep this without a massive content and referencing revision. I'm speedying this as a blatant advertisement.

I wouldn't advocate that for the first two. I created the second one - it's received a ton of coverage because they're translating it to English, and it's pretty much the last English PSP game. Definitely doesn't warrant a merge. The first one was translated and released already, and definitely has enough coverage. (

Weak keep. A case of
what to do before coming to AfD. While the sourcing wasn't available in a
WP:VG/RS search alone, there is certainly significant coverage for the
general notability guideline with the expanded search terms (except that Polygon forums link, which should be struck as user-generated and unreliable). However, the sourcing is hella weak, with not nearly enough for a full-featured article as of now. As such, I would recommend a merge to the series article when the editors are ready. As for this AfD, the consensus is a clear keep with a notice to the nominator to consider redirection to a quality redirect target (the series) before engaging AfD. czar

Kind of funny to say as Wikipedia is definitely a collection of information that can be subjectively considered
informative or
harmless or both... depending upon who one asks. What IS compelling, no matter the topic being discussed, is that notability is found through coverage and a suitable stub is not contrary to policy or guideline. And, as this article has a very specific inclusion description set forth in its lede, it is not indiscriminate ( See
WP:Discriminate ). That said, I do not think this short article would over-whelm the base topic at
Star Wars. Merge and set a Redirect to a new section at
Cultural impact of Star Warsunless expanded to show real-world relationships... through wider coverage, recognition, and analysis and commentary of the topic in secondary sources. Schmidt, Michael Q. 01:43, 28 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Redirect/Delete - It's nothing more than a specific type of
binge-watching. I can't find anything that suggests these marathons are anything particularly notable/significant/different. Would do better redirected to
Cultural impact of Star Wars.
moluɐɯ 22:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Merge into
Star Wars. It's pretty much just focuses on a specific movie series, which can be covered in a few sentences in another article. However, just for future reference, if there is a TV show or a movie that has an ability to be watched in a marathon (in which the act of doing the marathon becomes a cultural phenomena), then perhaps that could warrant its own article. Such as, for example, the TV series
24, which hypothetically, people might watch it for 24 hours straight, which could conceivably be a cultural phenomena independent of the actual television series itself. The key way to distinguish a television marathon or movie marathon from the actual movie/show itself (specifically, to create another article about the act of the marathon), is that people are doing the marathon for any reason other than that they like the show. Star Wars marathon fails this litmus test, because people only watch it because they really like Star Wars. A
24 marathon would pass (if covered in significant sources), if the people watching it did the marathon because a season of 24 is 24 hours long, which is the length of a day, so people would watch it not because they like the TV show, but because they want to spend all day watching TV. Yet this test only precludes having its own article, because the Star Wars marathon should be included in the main
Star Wars article, for example, in a few sentences, as it is (barely) covered in secondary sources. If it had more coverage, it could have its own section.

Keep Anyone who appeared on DID was clearly notable, not only by virtue of having an entire BBC documentary, broadcast nationally, made about them, but also for whatever reason they were chosen to appear - we just don't know what that is, yet.

The mere fact of having been on a radio or TV show does not, by itself, confer enough notability to keep an article that is sourced only to a
primary source evidencing their participation in the show. We do not, for example, automatically keep an article about every single person who ever competed on The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent; we only keep articles about the ones who can be
reliably sourced as actually passing a notability guideline for things they accomplished before or after appearing on the show. So while you certainly have a valid point that Rubinstein might have been chosen to appear on the show because he was already encyclopedically notable for other things, the time for an article about him is when you can properly source what those other things actually were — not when the only substantive thing you can say about him is that he appeared on the show.

XFactor and BGT are multi-player game shows, not documentaries, about the sole person discussed on them. Nor is BBC documentary about a person a primary source. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing);

The "primary source" is not the fact of the program's existence, but the fact that the only cited source for the program's existence is its listing on the program's own website (and even that doesn't provide any substantive information about Rubinstein, but merely mentions his name and lists the albums he picked.)

If that were true, we wouldn't have any notability criteria to distinguish notable from non-notable members of the same class of topic. We would, for example, have to keep an article about every single writer who ever published a book, regardless of the quality of sourcing that could or couldn't actually be provided, as long as it was possible to verify that the book existed. But that's not how it works — no matter how many books you can verify the existence of, the writer only gets into Wikipedia if you can actually point to
reliable source coverage which verifies that they pass one or more of the criteria at
WP:CREATIVE. So some writers get in here and some don't — which is inconsistent by your definition, but fully compliant with the purpose of an encyclopedia.

Merge and redirect. Per the one source in the article, the BBC link
[5], the programme including
Stanley Rubinstein is not available. Per the BBC FAQS regarding this series, that although "More than 1450 programmes - from 1951 to the present day - are now available on the website", that "Unfortunately some programmes were never archived or may be missing for legal or other reasons."
[6] So, IMO there isn't much reason to think more sources will be available regarding this man. In the unlikely event that a lot more information becomes available, an article can be spun off at this time. For now he can be listed in the parent article.

Keep Being chosen to appear on Desert Island Discs is prima facie evidence of notability as the idea that someone famous enough to be invited to appear on this show would vanish without trace is absurd. In this case, it is easy to find more information about the subject, who was a senior partner of the law firm Rubinstein Nash & Co, which continued the family business of Rubinstein Leggatt & Co, founded at Grays Inn in the 19th century.

His work also seems to be fairly frequently cited as a RS (

WP:COMPANY "An organization is generally considered
notable if it has been the subject of "significant coverage" in
reliable, independent

The good thing about redirects is that in most cases the history is left behind. This means that when the movie does get more coverage, we can un-redirect it and not lose a thing. The thing is, we can't guarantee that the film will release next month, as delays happen all the time. We also can't guarantee that it'll gain coverage per

Promotional and non-notable. The group runs a volunteer program in various localities, with the extremely vague objective to “serve the community in meaningful and fun ways.” The only evidence for notability is a scattering of routine notices from local papers, which are totally unreliable as a source for notability of local events, because they are altogether indiscriminate.
The article further gives the impression the group sponsors the
President's Volunteer Service Award, whereas it is merely one of the many groups that recommend people for this totally unimportant certificate--being a "certifying organization" is insignificant, when I see from the article on the award that "a Certifying Organization .. is any group that wishes to be able to award the President's Volunteer Service Award" and that "Any program would qualify for the award".
As for promotionalism: There is an excessive use of quotations, especially displayed quotations, for things that just need plain statements or add no information, where at most a reference link would serve--that's a characteristic of advertising prose, not encyclopedia articles. The use of routine local press mentions to show significance is another promotional technique--and what hey mention is very minor.
There are two reasons for using promotional content, and I think both are applicable: first, in order to show how good an organization is, instead of describing it. Second, because there is insufficient objective material. DGG (

one paper in PubMed that mentions it. This is a paper that is translated from Spanish—and it uses the term only in inverted commas. ("Fat phobia" is mentioned in a number of PubMed papers.) Reference 7 (Silversides, Have North Americans taken "fat phobia" too far?) actually does not seem to be listed in PubMed.

Redirect to
Fat Phobia Scale. The term gets 32 GScholar hits, not a lot. "Fat phobia" seems the more common term with 1,260 GScholar hits. Obesophobia is mentioned in articles about anorexia nervosa. While the term seems real and is used in RS, there are not the multiple in-depth independent RS needed for
WP:GNG notability. It seems a plausible search term, however, so a redirect to
Fat Phobia Scale, where fat phobia is talked about, seems the best option. We don't have an article on
Fat phobia (currently also a redirect to
Fat Phobia Scale) but probably should--such an article would be the best target for a redirect. --

Keep The article has lots of problems, mostly in not using enough references and for having a confusing name, but I think it could be renamed to the popular term "
Fat phobia" which does not have an article and which is well-covered in media. The content of this article seems to me to match the concept of fat phobia. One problem with this is that the article is actually about reflective fat phobia, or a person's own fear of becoming fat for negative results, and not discrimination against others. Fat phobia is not quite the right name for this; obesophobia probably is not the right name either. But if the content is backed by sources then it seems like a plausible topic for an article.
Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Merge This article should be renamed Fat Phobia, and the contents of the article
Fat Phobia Scale should become a section within it. This article has better references and takes a broader view than the scale. Once combined, there should be redirects from Obesophobia and Weight phobia to this article. If merge is decided I am willing to do a first pass.

Comment - About the manga not being in Anime News Network's encyclopedia, that doesn't really reflect whether the series is notable, but instead just reflects that it hasn't been released in the United States. There are far more manga submitted in Anime News Network's submission queue than the staff has time to add, so series that have been released in the US or that are by mangaka who are well known in the US get priority to be added. A manga can be pretty well known in Japan and still not be in the Encyclopedia if it hasn't been released in the US.

This article discusses two different topics: a TiVo maintenance screen and a Xbox system failure screen. Those two devices have no relation to each other. This article is like a
WP:COATRACK, except worse, because there is no coherent topic to begin with.
Also, neither topic is
sourced at all. I doubt either would pass
WP:GNG: there is simply nothing to write about other than "if this device fails to function properly, an error screen appears, contact customer support to fix that" — in-depth coverage in independent sources of either simply cannot exist. —
Keφr 08:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)reply
The TiVo failure mode is discussed on 4 separate pages of
How to Do Everything with Your TiVo (McGraw-Hill Publishers) and on
page 24 of "TiVo Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools" (O'Reilly Media). Both of these sources actually call it the "Green Screen of Death". Accordingly
Green Screen of Death is at least plausible redirect to
TiVo and should not be deleted. So I suggest a redirect with or without merge.
James500 (

There is no sourced content to merge right now, and if the target article does not mention the term, redirecting makes no sense. And both sources seem to be barely mentioning that the thing exists anyway. —
Keφr 19:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Your argument makes no sense. Either
TiVo or
Screen of deathought to discuss this topic and, since adequate sources are available, you are in a position to add a discussion of this topic to that article and you ought to do so. By your logic, every time an article is vandalized by being blanked, all redirects to that article must be deleted. And all I have to do to defeat your argument is to add a discussion of the "green screen of death" to that article.

Screen of death with
this edit, so you now have no possible grounds for claiming that
Green Screen of Death is not a plausible redirect.

WP:ITEXISTS is only an essay. Can you offer any positive reason to not include it that doesn't sound like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If the article is already a dictionary entry or usage guide or quasi disambiguation page, in the sense of having multiple meanings on the same page, how will one more meaning make matters worse? And can you give any positive reason for not including the passage that I wrote in
TiVo (or one of its daughter articles) where its inclusion can't possibly be any form of synthesis.
James500 (
talk) 18:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC) Your argument that
Screen of death is a coatrack is not going to work, because that article is meant to be a disambiguation page. (This was decided at the last AfD in 2009). And disambiguation pages don't have to have a coherent topic. (Though it might require reworking).

Reply to rant: It might have something to do with the amount of time that has to be spent discussing nominations, and especially borderline nominations, instead of editing articles directly.

I am not sure that this article meets the notability guidelines. It appears to be a typical murder - as a rule, murders are not notable. It has similarities to the
Jerusalem bulldozer attack 2008 in which thirty people died - but here, only one person died, and the incident never got wide press.

Correction: in the 2008 attack, 3 dead, 30 injured. Note that in some other vehicle attacks with political motives no-one died. Terrorist/political motivation appears to transmit notability.

Comment. This is a tough one. It did receive significant coverage, and has to be viewed as part of the larger Hamas-Israel conflict, having been one of the attacks perpetuated on the Israeli side, as opposed to the Israeli incursion into Gaza. That's how most of the media portrayed it, and given the reduced number of casualties on the Israeli population, this might be significant enough to merit an article. I abstain from voting though, because I'm not knowledgeable enough on the notability of events.

Keep hardly a "typical" murder, this is terrorism, a piece of construction equipment stolen and deliberately rammed into a public bus in an attempt to commit murder for political motives. It is similar to
Omeed Aziz Popal SUV rampage,
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar SUV attack,
Jerusalem BMW attack,
May 2014 Ürümqi attack. My expectation is that this attack will receive future coverage as one of this international series of semi-spontaneous attacks by ramming a vehicle into pedestrians or civilian vehicles by politically-motivated terrorists.

Added material on ongoing coverage and political impact.

Delete There are short news articles about her, but most seem to be prompted by a change of station. There is nothing that I can find that makes her notable among TV personalities. The page author
Mooneyhill165 has created a number of pages for TV stations and a few for TV personalities. I assume that there is no exception for TV stations from
WP:CORP, and that TV personalities must be notable as per
WP:BLP. This author may need to review those guidelines to avoid putting in effort here that will just get deleted.

A school for children aged 6-13, it would simply be a primary school if the ages were 6-11. It takes kids slightly older but isn't a high school either. There are 2 refs, the first is a link to an ofstead report which every school in the UK gets, the second is an entry in a book called the good schools guide which doesn't confer any notability and indeed contains thousands of schools. No assertion of notability in the article just some blurb probably lifted from the school website.

This article is sourced entirely to primary sources that are not credibly independent of the subject. It is, moreover,
WP:OWNed by
DEINationalOffice(
talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log), an evident SPA who clearly has a conflict of interests editing in this area. The subject does not appear to be a member of the
Association of College Honor Societies, the main governing body for such societies, and there has been some unconfirmed buzz on the internet about it being a scam. Under the circumstances, absent independent secondary sources (and with the Delta Epsilon Iota National Office actively editing its own article to make it appear in a favorable light), it seems best to delete it. If sufficient secondary sourcing can be found, then the article could possibly be rewritten as a stub based on those sources. But given the circumstances, I should think that the demands for neutral secondary sourcing should be quite high here.

I disagree - Schools Rugby is a very important part of Irish rugby - many of the top players are first recognized at this level. The provincial finals draw large crowds every March. One cannot understand Irish rugby without knowing about this layer.

Keep: While Connacht Schools Rugby Senior Cup may not be the most reported and most well known of the provincial competitions, there is an article is each one of Ireland's four provinces it should be kept though it could do with improvement. Deleting this one article means leaving a quarter of the story untold. Also agree with Pmunited.

Keep: Connacht Schools is the weakest of the provincial competitions, but if this province is non-notable, logically, the same applies to the other three provinces. And if we did that, believe me, Wikipedia would be making headlines in Ireland. While I know that
WP:OSE is normally non-kosher reasoning here, if you delete one province's article, as @Ww2censor says, you leave a quarter of the story untold.
