Series of articles of "LGBT history in..." by User:Lugnuts

( View AfD)

Series of pseudo-stubs of "LGBT history in..." by User:Lugnuts are entirely unnecessary and duplicates existing extensive articles, for example data from LGBT history in Malta (1973) exist in main article of LGBT rights in Malta. The same with the other articles. All of these are the same pseudo-stubs, differ only by date and duplicate information from the main articles. Were created by a single user within last 72 hours. Should be removed using a template {Speedy delete} but author reverted it. So, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. In my opinion the best option is Remove all or redirects (similarly as did administrator DESiegel). Subtropical-man talk

WP:AGF aside, not informing the community of your nomination to delete an article may result in the AFD being speedy-closed as invalid. Best just to follow the basic instructions at WP:AFD for group nominations. Stalwart 111 15:24, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all and close None of the articles are actually tagged for deletion. I've asked the nom to discuss the articles on the relevant talkpages, but has refused to do so. There may be some overlap, but these are different articles from the LGBT rights articles. A good example is how LGBT rights in Finland is different from LGBT history in Finland. These stubs have been created to populate the redlinks in the template {{Europe topic|LGBT history in}}, which already had half-a-dozen or so blue links before I started creating these articles. Finally, per WP:BEFORE, 1.If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. All these article can be expanded to include a detailed timeline for the country it relates to. At worst redirect to the "rights" article as a possible redirect.

As a one-sentence or two-sentence paragraph, it doesn't merit its own article. When it gets longer (a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article), it may be summarized in the main article and treated more precisely in its own article.

  • Redirect for now - I compared LGBT rights in Lithuania with LGBT history in Lithuania. The first article actually has far more information on the LGBT history than the latter. I think the test here is that the LGBT history articles need to be more informative about LGBT history than the rights articles in order to stand on their own, otherwise, we're directing our readers away from a better source for the information they're looking for. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 21:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. if anything the LGBT rights in ____ articles should be merged into the LGBT history in ____ articles, as the contemporary LGBT history of every country is intertwined with its rights for LGBT people. However the rights of LGBT people is not the full history, by any stretch of the imagination. History would also include notable events and people that may only be indirectly connected to LGBT rights, and that is subject to who is doing the interpretation of events. In essence we are suggesting by removing the history of LGBT articles, that the only thing notable is the struggle for their human rights when that is only one reported on aspect. Which is a false POV. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 03:01, 16 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I agree in principle, but if we're going down that route, we should probably copy over all the relevant history information from the rights articles. Expansion will, of course, be necessary after that, but, y'know, there is no deadline and all. I just don't quite like the idea of having more information on the subject in a different article. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 00:32, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
      • @ Sportfan5000:, note that articles have been reported to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion because currently this useless pseudo-stubs with only one sentence which duplicates the information from the main article, not because they are not encyclopedic. Subtropical-man talk

        • The main concern is for future development. By deleting the parent article LGBT history in ____ we are suggesting that the only notable content is regarding the contemporary issues of LGBT rights. The modern movement for LGBT rights was sparked in 1969, but LGBT history traces back to the origins of civilizations, verified in most cultures. I think the LGBT rights in ____ articles should be summarized under a section for contemporary rights, and the parent article peppered with other logical sections for others to expand. From what I've read about Wikipedia, the majority of content is anonymously added. It follows that the structure of an article that needs expansion will encourage additions, rather than the absence of the parent article completely. Additionally each of those parent articles could have a section just for LGBT people of that country, which we already have in the categories. Likewise we have categories for LGBT culture, which would feed LGBT history, not necessarily LGBT rights. What we have is a set of articles thats subject areas need expansions on, not deletion, or merger. And the likeliest best way to do that is to have an existing structure for willing editors. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 05:38, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
You're reading too much into the process of deletion of articles, let alone the compromise solution of redirecting them. A lot of topics have potential, but that doesn't mean that gobs of sub-stubs are the best way to approach the issue. If someone is actually willing to do some work on writing these history articles, these sub-stubs provide hardly any actual structure. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 13:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Part of the problem with WP is that only a small amount of editors actually create brand new articles. My own experience shows that once an article (no matter how small) actually exists, editors are willing to add to it, rather than starting from scratch. Is this one-liner any less valid? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't think I'm reading too much into this at all. We're looking at the likelihood of this content existing, and being added to, when there is no structure at all for it to exist, versus easily adding to it where a vacuum exists and they have a place to share information. This is at the very basis of collaboration, a structure that encourages participation. Is there a rule that says a stub has to have a set amount of information? Or only that it is indeed a notable subject? No one is seriously suggesting these articles are not on a notable subject, only that their humble starts are too humble. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 21:15, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all - I was involved in the initial technicalities of this AFD and in a discussion with the nominator about that. But keeping an eye on it has motivated me to actually opine with regard to the articles in question. Sportfan5000 is right - there is a significant difference between the subjects LGBT history in ____ and LGBT rights in ____. Not all history relates to the issue of rights (significant figures, events etc) and not all rights-related issues are significant enough to be considered part of that country's LGBT history. The two are significantly different and there's no reason we shouldn't have coverage of both. The suggestion from the nominator that the articles are, "useless pseudo-stubs with only one sentence which duplicates the information from the main article" (a claim which has been repeated several times) doesn't hold water. Even if that were true, it's not a reason for deletion - it's a WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM sort of problem. There's nothing wrong with creating stubs provided you allow (nay, encourage) collegial contributions from the community to expand them. Length of an article is not a sound deletion rationale. Stalwart 111 08:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge I vote for merging all this articles into one. I dont really see the importance of having as it is today a bit over 200 articles, if we only count UN recognized nations. Add some more who are independent but not UN recognized. As it is today its way easier to read one good article where all this countrys are in. Its easier to read, compare the countrys and so on. If some countries are in need of more writing then just make a special page for that country. Stepojevac ( talk) 00:20, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply

    WP:GNG only presumes notability based on reliable sources. WP:NOTNEWS is contravened by the latter point, and both can be equally mentioned in The Weather Channel's article (much condensed). Most of the press coverage has been bashing TWC for continuing to commercialize these names despite protest from a number of key organizations. It's also perpetuating the use of these pointless and local names in the lede of the way-to-many winter storm articles we have because of the panic of the press. - Floydian  τ ¢ 18:27, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Nate • ( chatter) 18:31, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Winter storm naming is not confined to the weather channel or the United States. Plenty of reliable secondary sources make up the article.

  • Comment I have tagged the article with a worldwide tag, seeing the article is named "Winter storm naming" it needs winter storm naming in other countries as well that follow or do not follow this practice.

The result was delete. This one's admittedly tricky. The greatest concern appears to be that given the subject has yet to play in a pro game, he fails specific notability of athletes (NFOOTBALL), leaving the general notability guideline (GNG); so, we turn to the sources, in which the most substantial, significant, and reliable coverage is over a single controversy and his response. As the controversy+response is considered an "event" by our standards, and especially because the subject clearly feels harmed by it, this very much embodies the spirit of our policy of avoiding harm with living-people biographies because it ends up falling back on being a biography that is notable due to a single event (BLP1E). Should he actually end up playing in a way that meets NFOOTBALL, for example, or truly becomes obviously notable on a seperate track for GNG, then there's a better policy-and-guideline-based rationale for keeping/re-creating the article, as simply finding it interesting or curious is unfortunately insufficient. slakr\  talk / 03:05, 24 February 2014 (UTC) reply

WP:GNG > BLP1E. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
But GNG isn't met when all the coverage is related to one issue. That is not the "significant coverage" required by GNG. Giant Snowman 12:47, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
But BLP1E also fails for thousands of footy bios of Joe Bloggs who made one appearence for one club in 1903. GNG and plenty of WP:RS easily beats it, and therefore making this person meet WP:N. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Not at all; if the footballer meets WP:NFOOTBALL then BLP1E does not apply. What notability guideline does this article meet? Please don't say GNG again. Giant Snowman 13:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Well, it does, as they were only famous/notable for one event. This guy meets GNG. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 14:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No, BLP1E does not apply to footballers with 1 appearance as there is no degree of notability in WP:NFOOTBALL - you are notable whether you have 1 or 10 or 100 appearances. John Smith, who made 1 appearance in 1903, is notable for being a professional footballer; he is not notable for the actual individual appearance. Would you argue that John Smith, who won one gold medal in the 1908 Olympics, is a case of BLP1E? And again, where is the "significant coverage" that is not related to his age i.e. the one event that has given him any note? Giant Snowman 14:21, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, BLP1E does apply. Esp. when you have a bio that has no birth/death info, nothing above "he played 1 game for x club". But your missing the point. This article meets WP:GNG. Now continue with your hounding of editors who dare to disagree with you. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:29, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No, it doesn't. Please take an article where the player has 1 appearance to AFD, citing BLP1E, and see how well you do. It may well get deleted on GNG grounds, but it would never get deleted on BLP1E. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Giant Snowman 19:33, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Surely a basic requirement for any BLP is that it is about someone who has done something or been something of an enduring nature. This guy has had his age mistaken. We probably all have in our lives. The fact that in his case he is associated with Lazio does not make him notable.-- Egghead06 ( talk) 18:33, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Because this isn't related to article content, merely navigation and administrative directions. Possibly article naming conventions.

Care to point out something specific from that? IRWolfie- ( talk) 21:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
He is cited in hundreds of books, he has an entry in Gale's Contemporary Authors, and he has a New York Times obituary. Like most pseudoscience, a lot of the coverage for Talbot is in unreliable sources (blogs, youtube videos, discussion forums) but there is a lot of it. In my considered opinion, he meets our notability standards. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 02:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Article as it stands doesn't make any mention of Locus nomination for his fiction work and provides no citations to verify that his book has any specific relevance in new age circles. The references in the extant article don't really support notability in the same way that the arguments here do. If anybody can provide references to correct those issues it'd go a long way toward abrogating my original concern regarding notability under WP:AUTHOR Simonm223 ( talk) 18:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Notable books are notable, but it does not mean the author is notable. That is yet to be established, specifically WP:AUTHOR criteria I assume is relevant here is "The person's work (or works) ... has become a significant monument". Where are the sources for that claim? IRWolfie- ( talk) 21:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • That's number 4a on the list on that page. He clearly meets number 1 -- "The person is ... widely cited by peers or successors" (many other pseudoscientists and crackpots cite him), number 2 -- "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique" (his ideas are certainly original and well known) and number 4c "has won significant critical attention" (lots of criticism on skeptical blogs and forums, some skeptical reviews). -- Guy Macon ( talk) 02:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
We cannot use pseudoscientists and crackpots as sources for criteria 1. That's the whole point of WP:FRINGE#Independent sources. There is no indication that his "original idea" is "well known" (the universe as a holograph is an idea that is used by other more serious thinkers), and it certainly is not significant that I can tell. I don't think that the criticism from skeptical blogs and fora are good sources on which to base a biography. In short, your argument isn't very convincing to me. jps ( talk) 18:35, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
You appear to misunderstand what a reliable source for determining notability is. For example, if we found that a particular crackpot was extensively discussed in the publications of Immanuel Velikovsky, Ken Ham, Erich von Daniken, Jenny McCarthy and Willis Carto, that would clearly establish notability even though none of those individuals are reliable sources for anything other than their own opinions. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 11:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment If he's been cited by the people you mentioned above that would support notability; but again there was no mention of this in the article. If it survived one AfD on the premise of notable subject with an article that doesn't currently meet notability criteria but can be improved to meet those criteria and then nothing is done to improve it, perhaps it is time to delete it until such time as somebody comes along who is willing to write it right.

  • Keep. I've found mention of him in more than a few academic texts published by reputable places such as SUNY Press and the like. One of his books was also reviewed in The Atlantic, which would also be considered a RS. Now the thing about books being notable is that if someone's work has received coverage in reliable sources, that can translate into notability for the individual. In many cases it makes more sense to have one article for the individual rather than for each separate book, especially if the person's books predominantly cover one subject. It's far easier to have one article than many individual novels and it happens quite frequently. When it comes to establishing notability, what they write about is of little importance. What matters is coverage- which we have. (By this I don't mean that we shouldn't take care in what we write in the article or how we write it, just that when it comes to AfD purposes the guy could be writing about breeding racing snails. Him being into things that would make him a "weirdo" by many standards should not predispose people to assume that reliable sources do not exist.) I'm not even finished looking and I'm finding where he's used as a reference relatively often in this subject, sometimes by peers and sometimes in academic texts.

Undisclosed paid editing is a cheap and sleazy thing to do. See also the two short cautionary tales at User:Durova/The dark side. Personally, I feel that even disclosed paid editing makes Wikipedia a worse place for the world to get information. Still, if you feel that you must do paid editing, then I request that you please not write new articles. Instead, get Wikipedians to write new articles for you. See WP:BPCOI.

Dear admins: Please delete this article per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION, which disallows the writing of promotional articles, and per WP:NOPAY.

Reason 2:

ISTM that this company fails WP:AUD, which says that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". Well, the EE Times, for one, is almost surely a publication "of limited interest and circulation".

WP:42 says you need at least several mainstream sources, such as major newspapers. If you do find several such sources, please paste links below.

Dear admins: Please delete the article per WP:AUD.

Keep. This company is the largest independent electronics design house in Eastern Europe. It has coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources (not trivial or incidental). EE Times - Electronic Engineering Times (3 articles about Promwad) - is one of the most popular international media in electronics industry. It has 844 references in Wikipedia. Its local European edition was mentioned 577 times in Wikipedia. Some of Promwad's developments are unique or one of the first of their kind (see articles in C4ISR Journal and linuxdevices.com). According to Wikipedia:AUD, "at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary". So I believe the article complies with WP:AUD and WP:42. Also I has declared my professional connection to the subject of the article. Please see Talk:Promwad for more info. -- Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 16:59, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Whether or not your article passes WP:AUD, it still should be deleted per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION. Re. your first point: Even if a trade magazine is the #1 magazine in the electronics-design industry, and even if it is distributed internationally, I believe it may still be considered a magazine "of limited interest and circulation". Re. your other point: You added a template which said you had "a personal or professional connection to the subject of the article" but nowhere did you actually say that you were paid cash to write it. — Unforgettableid ( talk) 21:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to Concorde#Restoration/ Concorde aircraft histories. Upon a search of the news archives, every mention of Bannister seems to be associated with the Concorde, most recently with efforts to restore the aircraft. There really isn't any notability independent of the Concorde. It should also be noted that there is apparently a major executive at Ford (Michael E. Bannister) who is frequently called "Mike Bannister" in the media. While we don't have an article on that guy yet, should one be created it's probable that this would become a dab page. As an aside, the pic of Bannister, File:Mike Bannister cropped.jpg, was cropped from File:Conc01.jpg, which was originally uploaded to Wikipedia as PD-self by now-retired PaddyBriggs; however, the same user admitted that he's in the original picture, which calls the copyright assertion into question. The images at Commons may need to be nominated for deletion. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 15:06, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • That seems like rather weird logic to me. Every mention of Barack Obama is probably associated with the United States, since the only thing he's notable for is being president. Does that mean we should merge his article into that one? Obviously not. And I fail to see what difference the existence of another Mike Bannister makes to the existence of this page! -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
      • No, because WP:NPOL explicitly states that politicians who have held national offices are notable. Plus Obama was previously a prominent legal scholar, probably to the point of meeting WP:PROF. As to this gentleman, everything he's done that's notable in a Wikipedia sense has to do with the Concorde, and indeed, every mention of him in the press is in an article dealing primarily with the Concorde. Any mentions of him in those articles do not rise to the level of "significant coverage" in the WP:BIO sense. To use a more apt analogy, this is more like having an article about a company's official spokesperson because that person is quoted repeatedly in articles about the company. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 16:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
        • I am fully aware of WP:POLITICIAN. But the analogy is still an apt one. I do not agree that Obama would qualify on his legal background. He is notable simply as a United States politician. Take that away and he is not notable. But if you believe he would be notable as a lawyer, try someone else. Say, Norman Schwarzkopf. He is notable purely as an officer in the US Army. Take that away and he is not notable. Is there any reference to him that doesn't mention the fact he is (or was) a general? I very much doubt it. Most people are notable only in connection with a single thing. If they were not a member of a particular organisation, involved with a particular project or held a particular office then they would not be notable. Bannister is no different in this respect from Obama or Schwarzkopf. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 17:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
          • You're missing the point. Schwarzkopf has a substantial amount of material written not only about the military activities in which he has been a participant (as with the coverage in this article) but also about him as a person, whether as a general or as a private individual (no such coverage in this article). I call for a merger here precisely because Bannister is merely mentioned in coverage about other topics. If there is any coverage on him personally, I haven't found it. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 18:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Bannister is the most experienced pilot of the very unique Concorde. He captained it's last flight. I believe that qualifies as a widely-recognized contribution to aviation, meeting WP:BIO Skrelk ( talk) 03:24, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I don't really agree with that. The "widely-recognized contribution" criterion for people is more one for situations where source material that demonstrates the subject meets WP:GNG isn't readily available (usually where it's an ancient topic or the materials would be in languages other than English). It's one that's invoked where everyone in the industry or field mentions so-and-so for what he did, but none of that coverage seems to be in-depth or substantial to the point that you'd consider it suitable for GNG. And even if we presume notability is met here, that doesn't preclude merging or redirecting. That outcome is especially appropriate where two topics are intimately intertwined, as is the case here. If Bannister has notability, it's only for his piloting of the Concorde. So instead of having a short stub about him, talk about him at greater length in the article on the Concorde. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 04:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Stopping after the first Google page is a bad idea. Presumably someone already did that before nominating it for deletion. Do you think maybe there might be other sources than the first page of Google? I found lots of sources. Google Books for a start has dozens. But since this is a career that ended in 2003 we have to look in offline databases (Gale, NewsBanks, Ebsco, ProQuest), and sure enough there are tons of sources. This guy was the face of the Concord, he was often in the news, on CNN and ABC Nightly news, AP, Reuters, etc.. giving quotes and being the general all around expert on the plane. Further he played a significant role in the cleanup of the Concord crash. Here's just a couple but I don't have time to transcribe them all here. If you want ask for help from WP:REX.
  • The Money Gang (CNNfn). 11/07/2001. "Concorde Returns to the Skies". Guest: Captain Mike Bannister
  • Aviation Week & Space Technology. 11/12/2001, Vol. 155 Issue 20. "Speedbirds migrated back to New York airspace last week." Abstract: Contains information about Bannister's life and career.
  • Sunday Business (United Kingdom). 07/30/2000. "British Airways’ Chief Works to Handle Aftermath of Concorde Crash" Abstract: Details about Bannister's activities after the crash.
  • Associated Press "Concorde Gets Supersonic Test" 07/17/2001.

  • Keep in view of above sources, plus:
    • "Aircraft That Became a Celebration of the Skies", The News Letter (Belfast, Ireland), October 28, 2003, which includes a handful of biographical sentences on Bannister, just over my usual bar of "signficant coverage". Paywalled at: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-109317005.html
    • "The Top Brass: And Now for Some Real `Blue Sky' Thinking ; the 10 Leading Pilots in Britain, as Chosen by Their Peers", The Independent (London, England), July 14, 2002, paywalled at: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1692704.html (Not a lot of coverage, but in essence, but a little career detail I haven't seen elsewhere and the selection is more or less an award).

  • Comment The article Porn 2.0 is about a similar topic, so a merge there might be justified. The list contains by my reckoning 7 items with Wikipedia articles, which is at the fringes of too-short but I think shorter lists have survived. It would help if the AfD proposal explained how the article violates policies, rather than just listing policies (see WP:JUSTAPOLICY). -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 20:39, 5 February 2014 (UTC) reply
The notability of the list of websites is dubious and not proven (LISTN), and it appears like a directory of potential sites (especially when considering the non-notable external links which were included). The nomination doesn't need to expand on that IMHO, and AFAICS was made in accordance with WP:DEL#REASON (which is policy). -- Trevj ( talk · contribs) 09:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Some of the individual sites seem to be notable, and they probably form a natural category, and Porn 2.0 includes links showing the subject might be notable as a whole. It wasn't clear whether you believed the topic of pornographic video-sharing websites was non-notable, whether you believed it wasn't a distinct category, whether the sites on the list are not notable, whether you objected to the format of the list (with weblinks), or whether you simply objected to the presence of non-notable sites on the list. If the non-notable external links are your main concern, they can be removed without deleting. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 11:08, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Thanks. My thinking is that the a list topic may not be considered notable if it has not "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Non-notable items can be included, if independently/reliably sourced and external links aren't included within the list itself. But if the group of sites hasn't been discussed in sources then we shouldn't have a standalone list on said group. -- Trevj ( talk · contribs) 11:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus, with a very distinct possibility of a merge to Keir Thomas. The discussion is leaning toward deletion, but the keep/possibly merge and merge !votes lead this to being closed as no consensus with a distinct merge possibility.

Merge to Keir Thomas. I did some research on him, and he is probably notable as an author, since his books have reviews in the specialist press.

This is not a notable company. It has ceased trading, having sold up to ACEO which does not have a Wikipedia page. The name is no longer used for trading purposes. The on-line sources for Murray McDavid are not independent and are, generally, just reproductions of the Murray McDavid press releases. The only notable activity the company ever did was to acquire Bruichladdich distillery which is correctly cited on the Bruichladdich page H6PAYH ( talk) 02:33, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Murray McDavid was not a producer of whisky. They were a company which bought other people's whisky and bottled it under their own label. They did buy Bruichladdich distillery which continues to operate having since been sold on but this is correctly referred to on the Bruichladdich page. Murray McDavid was a very minor bottler of whisky of no great note and which was essentially ephemeral. The company and its whisky stocks were sold on to another company which no longer uses the Murray McDavid brand names. The fact that the company was listed in directories and was a party in a court case (the sources mentioned above) do not qualify for notability. H6PAYH ( talk) 22:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
It seems like you are splitting hairs as far as whether they produced whisky. Many wineries buy grapes from other wineries and sell them under their label. The notability is established by the very substantial coverage in reliable sources in cluding th book source I linked to which are not directories. Candleabracadabra ( talk) 04:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply
It's not the same as a winery. A winery buys grapes and makes wine with it. In the case of a whisky bottler, they buy whisky that has already been distilled, put in a cask and matured. All they do is buy the cask and bottle it. Murray McDavid did own a distillery for a while - that distillery continues and has its own wikipedia page as it should. The references you have pointed to do little more than show that Murray McDavid existed. The book source simply lists every company that existed at a given date that was involved in the whisky industry. Inclusion in that book is no more a measure of notability than inclusion in a telephone directory. Given that notability is not supposed to erode with time, we need to ask ourselves whether, in ten or twenty years' time, anyone will care that this company briefly traded. If the answer is yes then we might as well have pages dedicated to every small business that operates in my small town. Page for Lloyd The Mower Man anyone?

Not suitable for merging. I have proposed the articles for the albums it comprises be merged with a note that this combined release occurred, but other than that there is nothing on this article that cannot be said on either of the other two articles or (assuming my merge proposal will pass) the article on both albums. Even a redirect seems silly. Per this discussion wherein the band's first three studio albums were bundled together and released in a set that previously had its own article which was deleted.

  • Weak delete The number of notable fighters is impressive. I partly wonder that my WP:BEFORE results are failing because of the romanization of the Japanese name. If we knew the actual Japanese name it may show more results. That being said, the official website does not appear to work, or access is forbidden because it's a dubious link which prevents any further research. As such I cannot provide any WP:SIGCOV and the WP:BURDEN cannot be relieved. Mkdw talk 06:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Should have been speedy-deleted like all the other CN-E lens articles that were created by one user who either lifted or closely paraphrased from retail sites, but for some reason this one was saved because it wasn't "unambiguous". This is advertising, and not encyclopaedic, and too close to the source material for comfort. Delete per WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:COPYPASTE, WP:PARAPHRASE. ColonelHenry ( talk) 15:30, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply

Hey, I'm the user that made the page. As I said on your talk page, I didn't copy and paste. This isn't advertising (again, as I said on your talk page), I linked directly to the manufacturer in the references, and furthermore the red link to this lens' page had been there for a long time (I know because I was researching this lens almost a year ago). If this lens does not deserve an encyclopedia page, then that is fine, but many other lenses have their own page or have group pages. You are kinda back tracking now by saying "closely paraphrased" instead of copied but I followed the same pattern as the rest of the lens articles I found. See /info/en/?search=Canon_EF_50mm_lens#EF_50mm_f.2F1.2L_USM for the exact lens I was lifting off. At this point I don't even care. I didn't sign up to defend a page about a canon lens. So if you want to delete it that is fine with me, but then at least delete the links pointing to it, because otherwise this information will just be reposted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachaysan ( talk • contribs) 15:43, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
Your red links on this page were deleted for copyright infringement/paraphrasing. This article is no different. Stop spamming.-- ColonelHenry ( talk) 15:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
Yet again you ignore what I've said. Something I've said MULTIPLE times. The red links were from this page: /info/en/?search=Canon_Cinema_EOS#Full_35_mm_2 so stop attacking me personally. I'm not spamming. I'm not claiming the red links that go to other pages I made. Like I said before on your user talk page where you invited me to discuss this, I just made these pages due to seeing that they were red on the Canon Cinema page. Stop mischaracterizing what I've done. At this point it seems you are intentionally distorting the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachaysan ( talk • contribs) 21:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comments. (i) At least in its current state, this doesn't look like advertising to me. (ii) The information that it supplies, if verifiable, is arguably encyclopedic. (After all, this encyclopedia does contain articles on one-off car prototypes, multiple ingredients of fictional "universes", etc.) (iii) In general, there's not much enthusiasm in WP for adding articles (even if well sourced) on individual consumer durables. Unless these are durables with large fanbases among young male North Americans. (iv) Camera-wiki.org actually welcomes articles on subjects such as this. (v) Jeebus that's a ridiculously (unless you're accustomed to Leica) expensive lens. (Suggestion: get a Sony α7 [or similar; I imagine that cameras such as this are about to emerge from other companies], an old Canon FD 85/1.2 in decent nick [cosmetics, internal dust, and even slight scratching on the front element won't matter], and an adapter to mate the two; and take a vacation for yourself and somebody with all the money you'll save.) -- Hoary ( talk) 01:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I had no difficulty finding multiple WP:RS sources on this guy on the first two pages of hits from a Google search. His background may be unsavory, but it clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:BIO. And I am just not seeing this as a promotional article. Reference to his current doings would seem reasonable in a BLP. And that reference is pretty matter of fact to my reading. I have occasionally been accused of being too quick to pull the trigger on suspected SPAM articles. But this just doesn't look like a promo article to me. It's short and to the point, just the facts thank you very much. And as already mentioned the subject is clearly notable. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 01:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep When the Associated Press calls a person "One of the world's most notorious spammers" and other reliable sources describe him in similar terms, that amounts to notability. A multi-year spam campaign is not "one event". There is nothing promotional about the current version of the article, and if anything promotional is added, it can be corrected by normal editing.

A road rage incident, one of millions every year, with no lasting impact, reported widely at the time but no clear demonstration of notability, this is, after all, not a newspaper. Could/should be redirected to Gloria Allred for a minor mention. (cf. New Jersey Turnpike smog accident which redirects to New Jersey Turnpike, this accident involved 66 vehicles, cause 9 deaths and 39 injuries, but is covered in a couple of sentences).

  • Merge – into Draft:Motorcycle hooliganism Motorcycle hooliganism per WP:VICTIM, "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person." I've had this article on the back burner for a while, collecting sources on the alternate motorcycling anti-social culture to outlaw motorcycle clubs. Recently Brianhe ( talk · contribs) has been helping to get the article ready. After the Alexian Lien incident, several major media wrote profiles of the new(ish) hooligan biker subculture. Anyone who thinks the article is ready can move it to the main space, or make some adjustments to get it ready. The fact that Lien is a crime victim who didn't seek notoriety suggests that he should not have an article with his name in the title, per WP:BLP1E. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 22:01, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Note Motorcycle hooliganism is now live and merging into it solves the objections several editors raise below. By placing the event in the context of the ongoing pattern of similar incidents over a period of time, the description of the Hollywwood Stuntz/Alex Lien incident becomes more encyclopedic, and avoids several BLP issues. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 15:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Keep. The movie "Mad Max" essentially unfolded in real life on the streets of NYC — about the closest thing we Americans have to an authoritarian police state. A man beaten bloody, stomped as he lay helpless on the ground, in front of his horrified wife and infant daughter, who were themselves nearly beaten. A man nearly committing vehicular homicide in self-defense. An innocent bystander risking his life to save the husband, wife, and daughter from further attack. Undercover cops part of the gang, along for the ride, apparently participating in the assault. The whole thing captured on terrifying video taken by one of the riders.
"Reported widely at the time" is quite the understatement, and I've got to say, I wonder whether the editor comparing this to a fog-induced traffic accident has his head screwed on properly.
It is also unclear what is meant by the contention that there is "no clear demonstration of notability". What would suffice, in this editor's mind? The guidelines for gauging the notability of an event suggest that notability may be established where news coverage of it is not merely "routine", but provides "critical analysis of the event". That bar has already been met repeatedly given the coverage that's out there.
Drilling down to the specific guideline page for events, we see even more clear support for this article's inclusion: "media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act". Actually at the end of the day I don't see any support for deletion anywhere in the cited policies...
Going by the core logic presented here by those proposing or supporting deletion, we shouldn't have an article on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, simply because we already have articles on school shooting and mass murder.
Also, it should be obvious that this article does not necessarily need to have the crime victim's name as part of its title. Nor need the article be about Lien, rather than about the beating. Those are some very simple objections to address, no? Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 15:37, 1 February 2014 (UTC) reply
"I wonder whether the editor comparing this to a fog-induced traffic accident has his head screwed on properly."? How rude. This article demonstrates what WP:NOTNEWSPAPER is all about. Can you demonstrate any WP:PERSISTENCE from this event? What long-term impact on the universe took place as a result of this commonplace road rage incident? How many road rage incidents take place in the US every year? Millions? As for the emotive " A man beaten bloody, stomped as he lay helpless on the ground, in front of his horrified wife and infant daughter, who were themselves nearly beaten. A man nearly committing vehicular homicide in self-defense. An innocent bystander risking his life to save the husband, wife, and daughter from further attack.", how many common assaults match this pattern? This is "just another crime" I'm afraid. Unless you can demonstrate persistence and that something actually happened as a result of the crime, rather than just a lame court outcome. The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC) reply
"Commonplace road rage incident"? I am sorry for your feelings, but that is just silly. There was absolutely nothing commonplace about this unprovoked gang assault in broad daylight. I defy you to find any incident even remotely similar, anywhere in U.S. history. Oh, and then make a convincing case for it being just an everyday "road rage" incident that doesn't merit any WP attention.
Please take this discussion seriously.
That said, could you please briefly describe why you think the very extensive news coverage described above is somehow of insufficient duration? I note that the coverage continues even today — as in today, February 7th, over four months later. A Google News search will reveal a steady stream of news pieces, not as many today as there were immediately following the incident, but it is still getting significant coverage even now.
To recap: there is simply no sensible or reasonable argument to be made that this was a "commonplace" incident, and it's debatable whether it could be fairly classified along with other "road rage" incidents. This was a high-profile criminal act and the notability bar is easily met. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep - User Factcheckers reasoning basically covers all as to why this article should not be deleted. -- BabbaQ ( talk) 17:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, unfortunately violent incidents like this is routine and not at all remarkable in our society. That said, the sensationalist tone of the article and of one of the comments above me does not help make the case for this article, which appears to be written entirely by advocates for Lien. Independent coverage is all routine and there's not much to indicate that this is a "high profile" criminal act, and we're not the crimes section of a newspaper. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:56, 6 February 2014 (UTC). reply
Comment, Tone and content issues are easily corrected. Nor is it unusual for WP articles to be written entirely, or nearly so, by highly enthusiastic advocates for a particular subject (or one side of a particular debate). Rather, this seems to be the norm, with opposing viewpoints filtering through in a sort of "cleanup" process that generally involves substantial Talk page debate. Aside from the general need for better sourcing, the primary concern here should be for BLP violations, but I think there is a rather well-developed capacity for WP to deal with those.
I have corrected tone and "sensationalism" issues as well as the neutrality of the article. Bali88 ( talk) 22:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply
More importantly, I don't think any fair case can be made that this was not a "high profile" act.
Weekly and sometimes daily news coverage persisted for over two months after the incident, especially as the scandal involving undercover police officers continued to unfold. Numerous television news programs had "panel of experts" segments to discuss this specific incident, how it could have occurred, how it relates to ongoing trends among motorcycle "clubs" of various forms (i.e. whether the group involved in this case should be considered a "gang"), and what law enforcement could do to prevent similar incidents going forward. A Bronx politician had to fire one of her staffers over a related media uproar. The new Mayor of NYC specifically discussed this incident at press stops while he was campaigning. Gloria Allred did not get involved in this case because it was going to keep her name out of the papers... Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 16:30, 6 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Huh? The event is four months old. WP:LASTING does not tell us that articles about recent events must be deleted until there has been time for a lasting significance to come into focus.
Just the opposite actually: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable."
And it is quite obviously national US news. Paucity of mentions in England does not make it "local New York City news".
A few minutes of Googling yields a sample of non-NY news outlets that have dealt with this story:
Major newspapers:
New York Times, Washington times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNN, Chicago Sun-Times, Denver Post, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, Tampa Bay Times
National websites: Huffington Post, Slate, Epoch Times, Asian American News, Dealbreaker
Non-US news outlets: Various Chinese sites I can't read, The Mercury Australia, Viet Times Australia, Daily Mail, National Examiner (UK), La Jaya (Dominican Republic), International business times
As well as local news coverage in numerous states (I'd guess at least one in each U.S. state). Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:44, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete - Fails WP:EVENT. This is just your basic traffic accident which got ugly. Wikipedia is not the police blotter. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:51, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply

To expand on my previous comment, this happened 4 months ago, and had a splash in the tabloids and TV news. It's sensational. It makes good infotainment. But that doesn't make it encyclopedic. Come back in a year and see how history has judged this event. If it's still getting press in a year, then it's notable. -- RoySmith (talk) 05:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Your comment is shown to be false by the wide coverage in major media outlets. Seems like you are stretching the truth quite liberally to make this sound like a non-event. Ditto for the guy calling it a "basic traffic accident which got ugly". We could say Sandy Hook was a "basic bullying incident which got ugly", right? Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I've been thinking about this one for a while. While I grudgingly admit that it has gotten a lot of news coverage (CBS News even called it one of the top news stories of 2013 [19], which says more about CBS News than it does about the event), I cite this from WP:EVENTCRIT:
Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, ...) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
I'm trying to figure out what the "enduring significance" is. Tragic, yes. Widely reported, yes. Enduringly significant? I don't think so. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
The way that I look at it...it's not like we're discussing what to include in a set of printed encyclopedias. Wikipedia evolves. There is no super reliable way to decide what will have enduring significance. If the topic becomes less significant in the next couple years, we can always delete it if it becomes irrelevant. IMO the fact that lots of people want to talk/read about a topic makes it notable. I personally think some law changes will take place as a result of the case, but of course, we shall see. I don't think there is a compelling reason to delete it if lots of people want to read about it. Bali88 ( talk) 23:04, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep - Obviously only time will tell how big and how lasting a story this remains. As time goes on, it would IMO be desirable to include this incident in a section of the WP article for whatever police force the bad actor(s) belonged to. See for example the rogue officers section at the bottom of the California Highway Patrol article; and each incident could have several lines, not just a line. I mean IN ADDITION to this article, not to replace it--UNLESS in the improbable event it loses its cachet over time. Paavo273 ( talk) 02:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I am usually on the delete side of the fence with True Crime/Tragic Event type stories, but this one got big, big, big media play and is going to be a point of reference whenever motorcycle riders and car drivers come to blows. The magnitude of the coverage propels this to Keep status, I feel. Carrite ( talk) 06:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep-I think this topic definitely meets notability requirements but obviously needs a complete rewrite for a number of reasons. I think the title should be changed to something more neutral and descriptive. The "beating" was only one small facet of a much longer incident. I'm coming up blank in terms of names but perhaps something like "Hollywood Stuntz Range rover incident". If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I have an interest in this topic and I think I can bring it up to code. I'll work on it tonight a little and I think I can probably have it finished by the weekend.

Reply @ Roger (Dodger67), My appologies for misunderstanding which award you were referring to. However, I addressed the Jubilee Medal on the talk page already.

Series of articles of "LGBT history in..." by User:Lugnuts

( View AfD)

Series of pseudo-stubs of "LGBT history in..." by User:Lugnuts are entirely unnecessary and duplicates existing extensive articles, for example data from LGBT history in Malta (1973) exist in main article of LGBT rights in Malta. The same with the other articles. All of these are the same pseudo-stubs, differ only by date and duplicate information from the main articles. Were created by a single user within last 72 hours. Should be removed using a template {Speedy delete} but author reverted it. So, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. In my opinion the best option is Remove all or redirects (similarly as did administrator DESiegel). Subtropical-man talk

WP:AGF aside, not informing the community of your nomination to delete an article may result in the AFD being speedy-closed as invalid. Best just to follow the basic instructions at WP:AFD for group nominations. Stalwart 111 15:24, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all and close None of the articles are actually tagged for deletion. I've asked the nom to discuss the articles on the relevant talkpages, but has refused to do so. There may be some overlap, but these are different articles from the LGBT rights articles. A good example is how LGBT rights in Finland is different from LGBT history in Finland. These stubs have been created to populate the redlinks in the template {{Europe topic|LGBT history in}}, which already had half-a-dozen or so blue links before I started creating these articles. Finally, per WP:BEFORE, 1.If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. All these article can be expanded to include a detailed timeline for the country it relates to. At worst redirect to the "rights" article as a possible redirect.

As a one-sentence or two-sentence paragraph, it doesn't merit its own article. When it gets longer (a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article), it may be summarized in the main article and treated more precisely in its own article.

  • Redirect for now - I compared LGBT rights in Lithuania with LGBT history in Lithuania. The first article actually has far more information on the LGBT history than the latter. I think the test here is that the LGBT history articles need to be more informative about LGBT history than the rights articles in order to stand on their own, otherwise, we're directing our readers away from a better source for the information they're looking for. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 21:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. if anything the LGBT rights in ____ articles should be merged into the LGBT history in ____ articles, as the contemporary LGBT history of every country is intertwined with its rights for LGBT people. However the rights of LGBT people is not the full history, by any stretch of the imagination. History would also include notable events and people that may only be indirectly connected to LGBT rights, and that is subject to who is doing the interpretation of events. In essence we are suggesting by removing the history of LGBT articles, that the only thing notable is the struggle for their human rights when that is only one reported on aspect. Which is a false POV. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 03:01, 16 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I agree in principle, but if we're going down that route, we should probably copy over all the relevant history information from the rights articles. Expansion will, of course, be necessary after that, but, y'know, there is no deadline and all. I just don't quite like the idea of having more information on the subject in a different article. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 00:32, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

        • The main concern is for future development. By deleting the parent article LGBT history in ____ we are suggesting that the only notable content is regarding the contemporary issues of LGBT rights. The modern movement for LGBT rights was sparked in 1969, but LGBT history traces back to the origins of civilizations, verified in most cultures. I think the LGBT rights in ____ articles should be summarized under a section for contemporary rights, and the parent article peppered with other logical sections for others to expand. From what I've read about Wikipedia, the majority of content is anonymously added. It follows that the structure of an article that needs expansion will encourage additions, rather than the absence of the parent article completely. Additionally each of those parent articles could have a section just for LGBT people of that country, which we already have in the categories. Likewise we have categories for LGBT culture, which would feed LGBT history, not necessarily LGBT rights. What we have is a set of articles thats subject areas need expansions on, not deletion, or merger. And the likeliest best way to do that is to have an existing structure for willing editors. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 05:38, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
You're reading too much into the process of deletion of articles, let alone the compromise solution of redirecting them. A lot of topics have potential, but that doesn't mean that gobs of sub-stubs are the best way to approach the issue. If someone is actually willing to do some work on writing these history articles, these sub-stubs provide hardly any actual structure. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 13:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Part of the problem with WP is that only a small amount of editors actually create brand new articles. My own experience shows that once an article (no matter how small) actually exists, editors are willing to add to it, rather than starting from scratch. Is this one-liner any less valid? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't think I'm reading too much into this at all. We're looking at the likelihood of this content existing, and being added to, when there is no structure at all for it to exist, versus easily adding to it where a vacuum exists and they have a place to share information. This is at the very basis of collaboration, a structure that encourages participation. Is there a rule that says a stub has to have a set amount of information? Or only that it is indeed a notable subject? No one is seriously suggesting these articles are not on a notable subject, only that their humble starts are too humble. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 21:15, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all - I was involved in the initial technicalities of this AFD and in a discussion with the nominator about that. But keeping an eye on it has motivated me to actually opine with regard to the articles in question. Sportfan5000 is right - there is a significant difference between the subjects LGBT history in ____ and LGBT rights in ____. Not all history relates to the issue of rights (significant figures, events etc) and not all rights-related issues are significant enough to be considered part of that country's LGBT history. The two are significantly different and there's no reason we shouldn't have coverage of both. The suggestion from the nominator that the articles are, "useless pseudo-stubs with only one sentence which duplicates the information from the main article" (a claim which has been repeated several times) doesn't hold water. Even if that were true, it's not a reason for deletion - it's a WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM sort of problem. There's nothing wrong with creating stubs provided you allow (nay, encourage) collegial contributions from the community to expand them. Length of an article is not a sound deletion rationale. Stalwart 111 08:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge I vote for merging all this articles into one. I dont really see the importance of having as it is today a bit over 200 articles, if we only count UN recognized nations. Add some more who are independent but not UN recognized. As it is today its way easier to read one good article where all this countrys are in. Its easier to read, compare the countrys and so on. If some countries are in need of more writing then just make a special page for that country. Stepojevac ( talk) 00:20, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply

    WP:GNG only presumes notability based on reliable sources. WP:NOTNEWS is contravened by the latter point, and both can be equally mentioned in The Weather Channel's article (much condensed). Most of the press coverage has been bashing TWC for continuing to commercialize these names despite protest from a number of key organizations. It's also perpetuating the use of these pointless and local names in the lede of the way-to-many winter storm articles we have because of the panic of the press. - Floydian  τ ¢ 18:27, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

All the facts in this article are in the infobox, which is copied from the Infosys article. Similarly, the references in this article are the first two from the Infosys article.

The result was delete. This one's admittedly tricky. The greatest concern appears to be that given the subject has yet to play in a pro game, he fails specific notability of athletes (NFOOTBALL), leaving the general notability guideline (GNG); so, we turn to the sources, in which the most substantial, significant, and reliable coverage is over a single controversy and his response. As the controversy+response is considered an "event" by our standards, and especially because the subject clearly feels harmed by it, this very much embodies the spirit of our policy of avoiding harm with living-people biographies because it ends up falling back on being a biography that is notable due to a single event (BLP1E). Should he actually end up playing in a way that meets NFOOTBALL, for example, or truly becomes obviously notable on a seperate track for GNG, then there's a better policy-and-guideline-based rationale for keeping/re-creating the article, as simply finding it interesting or curious is unfortunately insufficient. slakr\  talk / 03:05, 24 February 2014 (UTC) reply

WP:GNG > BLP1E. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
But GNG isn't met when all the coverage is related to one issue. That is not the "significant coverage" required by GNG. Giant Snowman 12:47, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
But BLP1E also fails for thousands of footy bios of Joe Bloggs who made one appearence for one club in 1903. GNG and plenty of WP:RS easily beats it, and therefore making this person meet WP:N. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Not at all; if the footballer meets WP:NFOOTBALL then BLP1E does not apply. What notability guideline does this article meet? Please don't say GNG again. Giant Snowman 13:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Well, it does, as they were only famous/notable for one event. This guy meets GNG. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 14:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No, BLP1E does not apply to footballers with 1 appearance as there is no degree of notability in WP:NFOOTBALL - you are notable whether you have 1 or 10 or 100 appearances. John Smith, who made 1 appearance in 1903, is notable for being a professional footballer; he is not notable for the actual individual appearance. Would you argue that John Smith, who won one gold medal in the 1908 Olympics, is a case of BLP1E? And again, where is the "significant coverage" that is not related to his age i.e. the one event that has given him any note? Giant Snowman 14:21, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, BLP1E does apply. Esp. when you have a bio that has no birth/death info, nothing above "he played 1 game for x club". But your missing the point. This article meets WP:GNG. Now continue with your hounding of editors who dare to disagree with you. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:29, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No, it doesn't. Please take an article where the player has 1 appearance to AFD, citing BLP1E, and see how well you do. It may well get deleted on GNG grounds, but it would never get deleted on BLP1E. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Giant Snowman 19:33, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Surely a basic requirement for any BLP is that it is about someone who has done something or been something of an enduring nature. This guy has had his age mistaken.

He is cited in hundreds of books, he has an entry in Gale's Contemporary Authors, and he has a New York Times obituary. Like most pseudoscience, a lot of the coverage for Talbot is in unreliable sources (blogs, youtube videos, discussion forums) but there is a lot of it. In my considered opinion, he meets our notability standards. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 02:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Article as it stands doesn't make any mention of Locus nomination for his fiction work and provides no citations to verify that his book has any specific relevance in new age circles. The references in the extant article don't really support notability in the same way that the arguments here do. If anybody can provide references to correct those issues it'd go a long way toward abrogating my original concern regarding notability under WP:AUTHOR Simonm223 ( talk) 18:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Notable books are notable, but it does not mean the author is notable. That is yet to be established, specifically WP:AUTHOR criteria I assume is relevant here is "The person's work (or works) ... has become a significant monument". Where are the sources for that claim? IRWolfie- ( talk) 21:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • That's number 4a on the list on that page. He clearly meets number 1 -- "The person is ... widely cited by peers or successors" (many other pseudoscientists and crackpots cite him), number 2 -- "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique" (his ideas are certainly original and well known) and number 4c "has won significant critical attention" (lots of criticism on skeptical blogs and forums, some skeptical reviews). -- Guy Macon ( talk) 02:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
We cannot use pseudoscientists and crackpots as sources for criteria 1. That's the whole point of WP:FRINGE#Independent sources. There is no indication that his "original idea" is "well known" (the universe as a holograph is an idea that is used by other more serious thinkers), and it certainly is not significant that I can tell. I don't think that the criticism from skeptical blogs and fora are good sources on which to base a biography. In short, your argument isn't very convincing to me. jps ( talk) 18:35, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
You appear to misunderstand what a reliable source for determining notability is. For example, if we found that a particular crackpot was extensively discussed in the publications of Immanuel Velikovsky, Ken Ham, Erich von Daniken, Jenny McCarthy and Willis Carto, that would clearly establish notability even though none of those individuals are reliable sources for anything other than their own opinions. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 11:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment If he's been cited by the people you mentioned above that would support notability; but again there was no mention of this in the article. If it survived one AfD on the premise of notable subject with an article that doesn't currently meet notability criteria but can be improved to meet those criteria and then nothing is done to improve it, perhaps it is time to delete it until such time as somebody comes along who is willing to write it right.

  • Keep. I've found mention of him in more than a few academic texts published by reputable places such as SUNY Press and the like. One of his books was also reviewed in The Atlantic, which would also be considered a RS. Now the thing about books being notable is that if someone's work has received coverage in reliable sources, that can translate into notability for the individual. In many cases it makes more sense to have one article for the individual rather than for each separate book, especially if the person's books predominantly cover one subject. It's far easier to have one article than many individual novels and it happens quite frequently. When it comes to establishing notability, what they write about is of little importance. What matters is coverage- which we have. (By this I don't mean that we shouldn't take care in what we write in the article or how we write it, just that when it comes to AfD purposes the guy could be writing about breeding racing snails. Him being into things that would make him a "weirdo" by many standards should not predispose people to assume that reliable sources do not exist.) I'm not even finished looking and I'm finding where he's used as a reference relatively often in this subject, sometimes by peers and sometimes in academic texts.

Undisclosed paid editing is a cheap and sleazy thing to do. See also the two short cautionary tales at User:Durova/The dark side. Personally, I feel that even disclosed paid editing makes Wikipedia a worse place for the world to get information. Still, if you feel that you must do paid editing, then I request that you please not write new articles. Instead, get Wikipedians to write new articles for you. See WP:BPCOI.

Dear admins: Please delete this article per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION, which disallows the writing of promotional articles, and per WP:NOPAY.

Reason 2:

ISTM that this company fails WP:AUD, which says that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". Well, the EE Times, for one, is almost surely a publication "of limited interest and circulation".

WP:42 says you need at least several mainstream sources, such as major newspapers. If you do find several such sources, please paste links below.

Keep. This company is the largest independent electronics design house in Eastern Europe. It has coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources (not trivial or incidental). EE Times - Electronic Engineering Times (3 articles about Promwad) - is one of the most popular international media in electronics industry. It has 844 references in Wikipedia. Its local European edition was mentioned 577 times in Wikipedia. Some of Promwad's developments are unique or one of the first of their kind (see articles in C4ISR Journal and linuxdevices.com). According to Wikipedia:AUD, "at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary". So I believe the article complies with WP:AUD and WP:42. Also I has declared my professional connection to the subject of the article. Please see Talk:Promwad for more info. -- Alexandra Goncharik -sms- 16:59, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Whether or not your article passes WP:AUD, it still should be deleted per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION. Re. your first point: Even if a trade magazine is the #1 magazine in the electronics-design industry, and even if it is distributed internationally, I believe it may still be considered a magazine "of limited interest and circulation".

  • Merge to Concorde#Restoration/ Concorde aircraft histories. Upon a search of the news archives, every mention of Bannister seems to be associated with the Concorde, most recently with efforts to restore the aircraft. There really isn't any notability independent of the Concorde. It should also be noted that there is apparently a major executive at Ford (Michael E. Bannister) who is frequently called "Mike Bannister" in the media. While we don't have an article on that guy yet, should one be created it's probable that this would become a dab page. As an aside, the pic of Bannister, File:Mike Bannister cropped.jpg, was cropped from File:Conc01.jpg, which was originally uploaded to Wikipedia as PD-self by now-retired PaddyBriggs; however, the same user admitted that he's in the original picture, which calls the copyright assertion into question. The images at Commons may need to be nominated for deletion. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 15:06, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • That seems like rather weird logic to me. Every mention of Barack Obama is probably associated with the United States, since the only thing he's notable for is being president. Does that mean we should merge his article into that one? Obviously not. And I fail to see what difference the existence of another Mike Bannister makes to the existence of this page! -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
      • No, because WP:NPOL explicitly states that politicians who have held national offices are notable. Plus Obama was previously a prominent legal scholar, probably to the point of meeting WP:PROF. As to this gentleman, everything he's done that's notable in a Wikipedia sense has to do with the Concorde, and indeed, every mention of him in the press is in an article dealing primarily with the Concorde. Any mentions of him in those articles do not rise to the level of "significant coverage" in the WP:BIO sense. To use a more apt analogy, this is more like having an article about a company's official spokesperson because that person is quoted repeatedly in articles about the company. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 16:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
        • I am fully aware of WP:POLITICIAN. But the analogy is still an apt one. I do not agree that Obama would qualify on his legal background. He is notable simply as a United States politician. Take that away and he is not notable. But if you believe he would be notable as a lawyer, try someone else. Say, Norman Schwarzkopf. He is notable purely as an officer in the US Army. Take that away and he is not notable. Is there any reference to him that doesn't mention the fact he is (or was) a general? I very much doubt it. Most people are notable only in connection with a single thing. If they were not a member of a particular organisation, involved with a particular project or held a particular office then they would not be notable. Bannister is no different in this respect from Obama or Schwarzkopf. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 17:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
          • You're missing the point. Schwarzkopf has a substantial amount of material written not only about the military activities in which he has been a participant (as with the coverage in this article) but also about him as a person, whether as a general or as a private individual (no such coverage in this article). I call for a merger here precisely because Bannister is merely mentioned in coverage about other topics. If there is any coverage on him personally, I haven't found it. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 18:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Bannister is the most experienced pilot of the very unique Concorde. He captained it's last flight. I believe that qualifies as a widely-recognized contribution to aviation, meeting WP:BIO Skrelk ( talk) 03:24, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I don't really agree with that. The "widely-recognized contribution" criterion for people is more one for situations where source material that demonstrates the subject meets WP:GNG isn't readily available (usually where it's an ancient topic or the materials would be in languages other than English). It's one that's invoked where everyone in the industry or field mentions so-and-so for what he did, but none of that coverage seems to be in-depth or substantial to the point that you'd consider it suitable for GNG. And even if we presume notability is met here, that doesn't preclude merging or redirecting. That outcome is especially appropriate where two topics are intimately intertwined, as is the case here. If Bannister has notability, it's only for his piloting of the Concorde. So instead of having a short stub about him, talk about him at greater length in the article on the Concorde. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 04:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Stopping after the first Google page is a bad idea. Presumably someone already did that before nominating it for deletion. Do you think maybe there might be other sources than the first page of Google? I found lots of sources. Google Books for a start has dozens. But since this is a career that ended in 2003 we have to look in offline databases (Gale, NewsBanks, Ebsco, ProQuest), and sure enough there are tons of sources. This guy was the face of the Concord, he was often in the news, on CNN and ABC Nightly news, AP, Reuters, etc.. giving quotes and being the general all around expert on the plane. Further he played a significant role in the cleanup of the Concord crash. Here's just a couple but I don't have time to transcribe them all here. If you want ask for help from WP:REX.
  • The Money Gang (CNNfn). 11/07/2001. "Concorde Returns to the Skies". Guest: Captain Mike Bannister
  • Aviation Week & Space Technology. 11/12/2001, Vol. 155 Issue 20. "Speedbirds migrated back to New York airspace last week." Abstract: Contains information about Bannister's life and career.
  • Sunday Business (United Kingdom). 07/30/2000. "British Airways’ Chief Works to Handle Aftermath of Concorde Crash" Abstract: Details about Bannister's activities after the crash.
  • Associated Press "Concorde Gets Supersonic Test" 07/17/2001.

  • Keep in view of above sources, plus:
    • "Aircraft That Became a Celebration of the Skies", The News Letter (Belfast, Ireland), October 28, 2003, which includes a handful of biographical sentences on Bannister, just over my usual bar of "signficant coverage". Paywalled at: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-109317005.html
    • "The Top Brass: And Now for Some Real `Blue Sky' Thinking ; the 10 Leading Pilots in Britain, as Chosen by Their Peers", The Independent (London, England), July 14, 2002, paywalled at: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1692704.html (Not a lot of coverage, but in essence, but a little career detail I haven't seen elsewhere and the selection is more or less an award).

  • Comment The article Porn 2.0 is about a similar topic, so a merge there might be justified. The list contains by my reckoning 7 items with Wikipedia articles, which is at the fringes of too-short but I think shorter lists have survived. It would help if the AfD proposal explained how the article violates policies, rather than just listing policies (see WP:JUSTAPOLICY). -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 20:39, 5 February 2014 (UTC) reply
The notability of the list of websites is dubious and not proven (LISTN), and it appears like a directory of potential sites (especially when considering the non-notable external links which were included). The nomination doesn't need to expand on that IMHO, and AFAICS was made in accordance with WP:DEL#REASON (which is policy). -- Trevj ( talk · contribs) 09:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Some of the individual sites seem to be notable, and they probably form a natural category, and Porn 2.0 includes links showing the subject might be notable as a whole. It wasn't clear whether you believed the topic of pornographic video-sharing websites was non-notable, whether you believed it wasn't a distinct category, whether the sites on the list are not notable, whether you objected to the format of the list (with weblinks), or whether you simply objected to the presence of non-notable sites on the list. If the non-notable external links are your main concern, they can be removed without deleting. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 11:08, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Thanks. My thinking is that the a list topic may not be considered notable if it has not "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Non-notable items can be included, if independently/reliably sourced and external links aren't included within the list itself. But if the group of sites hasn't been discussed in sources then we shouldn't have a standalone list on said group. -- Trevj ( talk · contribs) 11:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus, with a very distinct possibility of a merge to Keir Thomas. The discussion is leaning toward deletion, but the keep/possibly merge and merge !votes lead this to being closed as no consensus with a distinct merge possibility.

Merge to Keir Thomas. I did some research on him, and he is probably notable as an author, since his books have reviews in the specialist press.

This is not a notable company. It has ceased trading, having sold up to ACEO which does not have a Wikipedia page. The name is no longer used for trading purposes. The on-line sources for Murray McDavid are not independent and are, generally, just reproductions of the Murray McDavid press releases. The only notable activity the company ever did was to acquire Bruichladdich distillery which is correctly cited on the Bruichladdich page H6PAYH ( talk) 02:33, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Murray McDavid was not a producer of whisky. They were a company which bought other people's whisky and bottled it under their own label. They did buy Bruichladdich distillery which continues to operate having since been sold on but this is correctly referred to on the Bruichladdich page. Murray McDavid was a very minor bottler of whisky of no great note and which was essentially ephemeral. The company and its whisky stocks were sold on to another company which no longer uses the Murray McDavid brand names. The fact that the company was listed in directories and was a party in a court case (the sources mentioned above) do not qualify for notability. H6PAYH ( talk) 22:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
It seems like you are splitting hairs as far as whether they produced whisky. Many wineries buy grapes from other wineries and sell them under their label. The notability is established by the very substantial coverage in reliable sources in cluding th book source I linked to which are not directories. Candleabracadabra ( talk) 04:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply
It's not the same as a winery. A winery buys grapes and makes wine with it. In the case of a whisky bottler, they buy whisky that has already been distilled, put in a cask and matured. All they do is buy the cask and bottle it. Murray McDavid did own a distillery for a while - that distillery continues and has its own wikipedia page as it should. The references you have pointed to do little more than show that Murray McDavid existed. The book source simply lists every company that existed at a given date that was involved in the whisky industry. Inclusion in that book is no more a measure of notability than inclusion in a telephone directory. Given that notability is not supposed to erode with time, we need to ask ourselves whether, in ten or twenty years' time, anyone will care that this company briefly traded. If the answer is yes then we might as well have pages dedicated to every small business that operates in my small town. Page for Lloyd The Mower Man anyone?

Not suitable for merging. I have proposed the articles for the albums it comprises be merged with a note that this combined release occurred, but other than that there is nothing on this article that cannot be said on either of the other two articles or (assuming my merge proposal will pass) the article on both albums. Even a redirect seems silly. Per this discussion wherein the band's first three studio albums were bundled together and released in a set that previously had its own article which was deleted.

  • Weak delete The number of notable fighters is impressive. I partly wonder that my WP:BEFORE results are failing because of the romanization of the Japanese name. If we knew the actual Japanese name it may show more results. That being said, the official website does not appear to work, or access is forbidden because it's a dubious link which prevents any further research. As such I cannot provide any WP:SIGCOV and the WP:BURDEN cannot be relieved. Mkdw talk 06:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Should have been speedy-deleted like all the other CN-E lens articles that were created by one user who either lifted or closely paraphrased from retail sites, but for some reason this one was saved because it wasn't "unambiguous". This is advertising, and not encyclopaedic, and too close to the source material for comfort. Delete per WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:COPYPASTE, WP:PARAPHRASE. ColonelHenry ( talk) 15:30, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply

Hey, I'm the user that made the page. As I said on your talk page, I didn't copy and paste. This isn't advertising (again, as I said on your talk page), I linked directly to the manufacturer in the references, and furthermore the red link to this lens' page had been there for a long time (I know because I was researching this lens almost a year ago). If this lens does not deserve an encyclopedia page, then that is fine, but many other lenses have their own page or have group pages. You are kinda back tracking now by saying "closely paraphrased" instead of copied but I followed the same pattern as the rest of the lens articles I found. See /info/en/?search=Canon_EF_50mm_lens#EF_50mm_f.2F1.2L_USM for the exact lens I was lifting off. At this point I don't even care. I didn't sign up to defend a page about a canon lens. So if you want to delete it that is fine with me, but then at least delete the links pointing to it, because otherwise this information will just be reposted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachaysan ( talk • contribs) 15:43, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
Your red links on this page were deleted for copyright infringement/paraphrasing. This article is no different. Stop spamming.-- ColonelHenry ( talk) 15:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC) reply
Yet again you ignore what I've said. Something I've said MULTIPLE times. The red links were from this page: /info/en/?search=Canon_Cinema_EOS#Full_35_mm_2 so stop attacking me personally. I'm not spamming. I'm not claiming the red links that go to other pages I made. Like I said before on your user talk page where you invited me to discuss this, I just made these pages due to seeing that they were red on the Canon Cinema page. Stop mischaracterizing what I've done. At this point it seems you are intentionally distorting the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachaysan ( talk • contribs) 21:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comments. (i) At least in its current state, this doesn't look like advertising to me. (ii) The information that it supplies, if verifiable, is arguably encyclopedic. (After all, this encyclopedia does contain articles on one-off car prototypes, multiple ingredients of fictional "universes", etc.) (iii) In general, there's not much enthusiasm in WP for adding articles (even if well sourced) on individual consumer durables. Unless these are durables with large fanbases among young male North Americans. (iv) Camera-wiki.org actually welcomes articles on subjects such as this. (v) Jeebus that's a ridiculously (unless you're accustomed to Leica) expensive lens. (Suggestion: get a Sony α7 [or similar; I imagine that cameras such as this are about to emerge from other companies], an old Canon FD 85/1.2 in decent nick [cosmetics, internal dust, and even slight scratching on the front element won't matter], and an adapter to mate the two; and take a vacation for yourself and somebody with all the money you'll save.) -- Hoary ( talk) 01:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I had no difficulty finding multiple WP:RS sources on this guy on the first two pages of hits from a Google search. His background may be unsavory, but it clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:BIO. And I am just not seeing this as a promotional article. Reference to his current doings would seem reasonable in a BLP. And that reference is pretty matter of fact to my reading. I have occasionally been accused of being too quick to pull the trigger on suspected SPAM articles. But this just doesn't look like a promo article to me. It's short and to the point, just the facts thank you very much. And as already mentioned the subject is clearly notable. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 01:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep When the Associated Press calls a person "One of the world's most notorious spammers" and other reliable sources describe him in similar terms, that amounts to notability. A multi-year spam campaign is not "one event". There is nothing promotional about the current version of the article, and if anything promotional is added, it can be corrected by normal editing.

A road rage incident, one of millions every year, with no lasting impact, reported widely at the time but no clear demonstration of notability, this is, after all, not a newspaper. Could/should be redirected to Gloria Allred for a minor mention. (cf. New Jersey Turnpike smog accident which redirects to New Jersey Turnpike, this accident involved 66 vehicles, cause 9 deaths and 39 injuries, but is covered in a couple of sentences).

  • Merge – into Draft:Motorcycle hooliganism Motorcycle hooliganism per WP:VICTIM, "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person." I've had this article on the back burner for a while, collecting sources on the alternate motorcycling anti-social culture to outlaw motorcycle clubs. Recently Brianhe ( talk · contribs) has been helping to get the article ready. After the Alexian Lien incident, several major media wrote profiles of the new(ish) hooligan biker subculture. Anyone who thinks the article is ready can move it to the main space, or make some adjustments to get it ready. The fact that Lien is a crime victim who didn't seek notoriety suggests that he should not have an article with his name in the title, per WP:BLP1E. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 22:01, 29 January 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Note Motorcycle hooliganism is now live and merging into it solves the objections several editors raise below. By placing the event in the context of the ongoing pattern of similar incidents over a period of time, the description of the Hollywwood Stuntz/Alex Lien incident becomes more encyclopedic, and avoids several BLP issues. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 15:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Keep. The movie "Mad Max" essentially unfolded in real life on the streets of NYC — about the closest thing we Americans have to an authoritarian police state. A man beaten bloody, stomped as he lay helpless on the ground, in front of his horrified wife and infant daughter, who were themselves nearly beaten. A man nearly committing vehicular homicide in self-defense. An innocent bystander risking his life to save the husband, wife, and daughter from further attack. Undercover cops part of the gang, along for the ride, apparently participating in the assault. The whole thing captured on terrifying video taken by one of the riders.
"Reported widely at the time" is quite the understatement, and I've got to say, I wonder whether the editor comparing this to a fog-induced traffic accident has his head screwed on properly.
It is also unclear what is meant by the contention that there is "no clear demonstration of notability". What would suffice, in this editor's mind? The guidelines for gauging the notability of an event suggest that notability may be established where news coverage of it is not merely "routine", but provides "critical analysis of the event". That bar has already been met repeatedly given the coverage that's out there.
Drilling down to the specific guideline page for events, we see even more clear support for this article's inclusion: "media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act". Actually at the end of the day I don't see any support for deletion anywhere in the cited policies...
Going by the core logic presented here by those proposing or supporting deletion, we shouldn't have an article on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, simply because we already have articles on school shooting and mass murder.
Also, it should be obvious that this article does not necessarily need to have the crime victim's name as part of its title. Nor need the article be about Lien, rather than about the beating. Those are some very simple objections to address, no? Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 15:37, 1 February 2014 (UTC) reply
"I wonder whether the editor comparing this to a fog-induced traffic accident has his head screwed on properly."? How rude. This article demonstrates what WP:NOTNEWSPAPER is all about. Can you demonstrate any WP:PERSISTENCE from this event? What long-term impact on the universe took place as a result of this commonplace road rage incident? How many road rage incidents take place in the US every year? Millions? As for the emotive " A man beaten bloody, stomped as he lay helpless on the ground, in front of his horrified wife and infant daughter, who were themselves nearly beaten. A man nearly committing vehicular homicide in self-defense. An innocent bystander risking his life to save the husband, wife, and daughter from further attack.", how many common assaults match this pattern? This is "just another crime" I'm afraid. Unless you can demonstrate persistence and that something actually happened as a result of the crime, rather than just a lame court outcome. The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC) reply
"Commonplace road rage incident"? I am sorry for your feelings, but that is just silly. There was absolutely nothing commonplace about this unprovoked gang assault in broad daylight. I defy you to find any incident even remotely similar, anywhere in U.S. history. Oh, and then make a convincing case for it being just an everyday "road rage" incident that doesn't merit any WP attention.
Please take this discussion seriously.
That said, could you please briefly describe why you think the very extensive news coverage described above is somehow of insufficient duration? I note that the coverage continues even today — as in today, February 7th, over four months later. A Google News search will reveal a steady stream of news pieces, not as many today as there were immediately following the incident, but it is still getting significant coverage even now.
To recap: there is simply no sensible or reasonable argument to be made that this was a "commonplace" incident, and it's debatable whether it could be fairly classified along with other "road rage" incidents. This was a high-profile criminal act and the notability bar is easily met. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep - User Factcheckers reasoning basically covers all as to why this article should not be deleted. -- BabbaQ ( talk) 17:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, unfortunately violent incidents like this is routine and not at all remarkable in our society. That said, the sensationalist tone of the article and of one of the comments above me does not help make the case for this article, which appears to be written entirely by advocates for Lien. Independent coverage is all routine and there's not much to indicate that this is a "high profile" criminal act, and we're not the crimes section of a newspaper. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:56, 6 February 2014 (UTC). reply
Comment, Tone and content issues are easily corrected. Nor is it unusual for WP articles to be written entirely, or nearly so, by highly enthusiastic advocates for a particular subject (or one side of a particular debate). Rather, this seems to be the norm, with opposing viewpoints filtering through in a sort of "cleanup" process that generally involves substantial Talk page debate. Aside from the general need for better sourcing, the primary concern here should be for BLP violations, but I think there is a rather well-developed capacity for WP to deal with those.
I have corrected tone and "sensationalism" issues as well as the neutrality of the article. Bali88 ( talk) 22:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply
More importantly, I don't think any fair case can be made that this was not a "high profile" act.
Weekly and sometimes daily news coverage persisted for over two months after the incident, especially as the scandal involving undercover police officers continued to unfold. Numerous television news programs had "panel of experts" segments to discuss this specific incident, how it could have occurred, how it relates to ongoing trends among motorcycle "clubs" of various forms (i.e. whether the group involved in this case should be considered a "gang"), and what law enforcement could do to prevent similar incidents going forward. A Bronx politician had to fire one of her staffers over a related media uproar. The new Mayor of NYC specifically discussed this incident at press stops while he was campaigning. Gloria Allred did not get involved in this case because it was going to keep her name out of the papers... Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 16:30, 6 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Huh? The event is four months old. WP:LASTING does not tell us that articles about recent events must be deleted until there has been time for a lasting significance to come into focus.
Just the opposite actually: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable."
And it is quite obviously national US news. Paucity of mentions in England does not make it "local New York City news".
A few minutes of Googling yields a sample of non-NY news outlets that have dealt with this story:
Major newspapers:
New York Times, Washington times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNN, Chicago Sun-Times, Denver Post, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, Tampa Bay Times
National websites: Huffington Post, Slate, Epoch Times, Asian American News, Dealbreaker
Non-US news outlets: Various Chinese sites I can't read, The Mercury Australia, Viet Times Australia, Daily Mail, National Examiner (UK), La Jaya (Dominican Republic), International business times
As well as local news coverage in numerous states (I'd guess at least one in each U.S. state). Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:44, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete - Fails WP:EVENT. This is just your basic traffic accident which got ugly. Wikipedia is not the police blotter. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:51, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply

To expand on my previous comment, this happened 4 months ago, and had a splash in the tabloids and TV news. It's sensational. It makes good infotainment. But that doesn't make it encyclopedic. Come back in a year and see how history has judged this event. If it's still getting press in a year, then it's notable. -- RoySmith (talk) 05:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Your comment is shown to be false by the wide coverage in major media outlets. Seems like you are stretching the truth quite liberally to make this sound like a non-event. Ditto for the guy calling it a "basic traffic accident which got ugly". We could say Sandy Hook was a "basic bullying incident which got ugly", right? Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 14:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I've been thinking about this one for a while. While I grudgingly admit that it has gotten a lot of news coverage (CBS News even called it one of the top news stories of 2013 [19], which says more about CBS News than it does about the event), I cite this from WP:EVENTCRIT:
Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, ...) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
I'm trying to figure out what the "enduring significance" is. Tragic, yes. Widely reported, yes. Enduringly significant? I don't think so. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
The way that I look at it...it's not like we're discussing what to include in a set of printed encyclopedias. Wikipedia evolves. There is no super reliable way to decide what will have enduring significance. If the topic becomes less significant in the next couple years, we can always delete it if it becomes irrelevant. IMO the fact that lots of people want to talk/read about a topic makes it notable. I personally think some law changes will take place as a result of the case, but of course, we shall see. I don't think there is a compelling reason to delete it if lots of people want to read about it. Bali88 ( talk) 23:04, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep - Obviously only time will tell how big and how lasting a story this remains. As time goes on, it would IMO be desirable to include this incident in a section of the WP article for whatever police force the bad actor(s) belonged to. See for example the rogue officers section at the bottom of the California Highway Patrol article; and each incident could have several lines, not just a line. I mean IN ADDITION to this article, not to replace it--UNLESS in the improbable event it loses its cachet over time. Paavo273 ( talk) 02:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I am usually on the delete side of the fence with True Crime/Tragic Event type stories, but this one got big, big, big media play and is going to be a point of reference whenever motorcycle riders and car drivers come to blows. The magnitude of the coverage propels this to Keep status, I feel. Carrite ( talk) 06:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep-I think this topic definitely meets notability requirements but obviously needs a complete rewrite for a number of reasons. I think the title should be changed to something more neutral and descriptive. The "beating" was only one small facet of a much longer incident. I'm coming up blank in terms of names but perhaps something like "Hollywood Stuntz Range rover incident". If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I have an interest in this topic and I think I can bring it up to code. I'll work on it tonight a little and I think I can probably have it finished by the weekend.

Reply @ Roger (Dodger67), My appologies for misunderstanding which award you were referring to. However, I addressed the Jubilee Medal on the talk page already.
