This article is a conflation of two different places. The Flask Pub Flask Walk, Hampstead and The Flask in West Hill, Highgate. As it stands it is clear editor has mistaken them to be one and the same and notability of the subject is consequently compromised Tmol42 ( talk) 22:19, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Fixing the accidental conflation only took me a few minutes, so the stated AfD rationale no longer applies. As for a possible new rationale as suggested by Davidships above, there is very signifcant history attaching to this pub. It "stood there at least as early as 1663", according to 1936's Survey of London: volume 17: The parish of St Pancras part 1: The village of Highgate. [1]. I will add some of this information.

Winter Olympics (disambiguation)

I question the practical use of this separate disambiguation page. Most of this page is essentially a duplicate of Winter Olympic Games#List of Winter Olympic Games. Then there are only two other links currently listed on Winter Olympics (disambiguation)#Other Uses. A better alternative would be to modify hatnotes on the top of Winter Olympic Games, [2] instead of having readers go to this additional DAB page. The number pages that need to be disambiguated does not currently go above Template:Redirect's limit. Zzyzx11 ( talk) 17:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC) reply

There was previously a hatnote at the top of Winter Olympic Games. However, I felt that the disambig page was worthwhile as the two main 'alternative' uses are significantly less notable than the topic itself. On the other hand, I completely see your point; happy for it to go if people agree so. -- Super Nintendo Chalmers ( talk) 19:11, 9 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep  There is a rule of design that says, "keep it simple, but not too simple".  I skimmed 400 hundred articles that were returned with a search on Winter Olympics, and noticed "Top Gear Winter Olympics" and "Winter Olympic sports".  At this point I don't know how many related articles there are, but I see no purpose to posting anything at the top of the main article except for one link to a disambiguation page.  Unscintillating ( talk) 20:16, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply

I propose to delete this article because of content forking. There is a more appropriate article for the subject ( Celts (modern)). Fakirbakir ( talk) 21:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete: (merge what's acceptable but isn't merged already) It's also what I call a 'Wikipediaism' - something promoted by Wikipedians, if not pretty much invented by them. It's historically fluff as a term. There was no such thing as 'Celtic nations' when the Celts were around, and they cannot be called 'Celtic' now in any properly academic sense: at most it's a candy word for sports games, historical events and the like. But these endless sub articles just get forked with all kinds contentious politics. I think this article just happens to suit various nationalists in here who want these places to be sovereign countries, and it appears to me that they are largely the people who frequent this page. A section on modern Celtic ancestry should be enough for any properly academic encyclopedia in my view. (ie in the actual Celts article - but this should be deleted all the same, as I argued on the talk page a year or so ago). Matt Lewis ( talk) 22:30, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep: The two articles are about two different things. One is about the political territories in Europe, the other is about the ethnic (i.e. cultural) group that includes those living in other parts of the world, such as the Welsh language community in Patagonia. Bodrugan ( talk) 02:40, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

You are 'Cornish' though. The idea of that being a 'Celtic nation' is just romantic. It's not encyclopedic enough for it's own page - none of it is. It's too political, and it's not historically accurate enough. Celts did not have nations, and Cornwall is not a nation now. Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

keep-merge, Fakirbakir, what are you up to? There are naming issues here, but the way to resolve them is not deleting articles left and right, the solution is coming up with decent proposals for re-arranging the topic and then convincing people to implement it via WP:BRD. Don't try to resolve complex questions of content via the deletion process, it isn't the appropriate tool. -- dab (𒁳) 09:25, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

It was brought to talk last year but no debate happened at all. Everyone who attends the article wants the article that's why. That's partly why WP has have 'AfD'. It's not complex at all imo, it's actually quite simple. There too much forked subs in these areas, and each sub article get's less and leas encyclopedic. Sections in the main article's are fine. I personally think that Modern Celts is an article too much, and I'm 'supposed' to be one! (it's funny how I don't feel very different to anyone else though, and have no desire to forge iron objects at all). Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Answering the question, I just try to stir up the still water. Somebody creates a FORK and due to the well sourced text the article becomes unmovable. As I see no one really cares about the future of these articles. Fakirbakir ( talk) 13:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I think a fair amount of people will want to keep this one, and it will be interesting to see how many other people think it's too unencyclopedic, or an article too many. Ie how many people still support the old inclusionist 'Wikipdia is infinite ideal = ie let 'everyone have their say'. The simple forking argument may not count here, as people will argue that this group of Celtic nations actually exist. But the idea has no authority at all though. No sovereign, or UN or European recognition as such or anything like that. It's all romantic at best, and to this extended broad degree it's political (ie they support each others causes, as minority separatists always do). They don't have the sources that cover this extended use either: not outside of partisan websites. Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:56, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep (don't delete): Agree with Bodrugan's comment, Celts(modern) is concerned with Celtic Identity in modern times (Modern Celtic culture). Jembana ( talk) 09:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

The thing is, you have a user-page thing saying your "proud to be Celtic". That's absolutely fine. But an article called 'Celtic nations' is essentially a third-level sub article, and isn't ok at all. It just makes Wikipedia look a bloated and decidedly non-academic mess imo. Even as a 'notable term' (which I don't think it is personally) areas like Welsh TV news programmes - which can be quite nationally 'proud' overall - do not normally refer to any of these nations as 'Celtic nations' - and only Wales in terms of 'home nation' sport like Rugby. It's article-section material, not it's-own-article stuff. And when they do use the term, they are not pronouncing on France or Cornwall etc at all. That's an important point to: it's not used politically at all. It's intrinsically political in here, hence all the forked politics. The forking will always happen in pages like this. This article is basically yet another article on Celts (or Modern Celts if we have to have that too), but with a specifically 'nation'alistic flavour.

  • Keep: The article could use some improvement, but not deletion. Celtic nations is about the nations, both historic and contemporary. Celts (modern) is about modern manifestations of ethnic identity. The concept and term is not unique to WP; it predates the existence of Wikipedia by generations, at least, and is a common framing in Celtic studies and politics. If some editors are politically opposed to the identification of the Celtic Nations as socio-political entities, that's not a valid basis for deletion. - CorbieV ☊ 17:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Celts didn't have nations. It's one of the reasons they spread so far then died out. This is all modern politics. This is another 'Celtic' area editor btw. This needs non-interested participants. Matt Lewis ( talk) 18:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
'Breton' banquet? Content forking is all this article contains - that was made pretty clear by Fakirbakir. Also AfD's often deal with merging too. But there's nothing really to merge, as all of the value here is elsewhere. It's a pretty straight AfD for me. Matt Lewis ( talk) 18:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
"Matt" Lewis? You're really not making yourself look very clever by making (horribly incorrect) assumptions based on people's usernames. You say this needs non-interested participants, are you attempting to include yourself in that? Bretonbanquet ( talk) 18:51, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
No, I'm definitely involved. I've said this page is non-encylopedic before, and have explained why. It's not the type of thing that's suitable for Wikipedia. Webspace yes, Wikipiedia no. We still need people who aren't involved though! Matt Lewis ( talk) 19:48, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is full of content forks and seems to be a POV view from the Celtic League. It really isn't acceptable to redefine Nation to mean whatever you want, and without that the whole article falls to pieces. Many of the historical claims are very dubious. Dingo1729 ( talk) 00:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I tried to move this from the Science category to the Society category. Whatever it is, it's certainly not science. Dingo1729 ( talk) 00:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- This is a legitimate article which is not about Celts (modern), though it is a main article linked to that. Merging back to that article would unbalance that one. It may be that it is covering material in other articles, but I do not know which. This article may be about political POV, but that does not mean that it is a POV-article in the WP sense. Artilces on POVs have a legitimate place in an encyclopedia. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:30, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I do understand the inclusionist argument, but do you think that the available sources for using the term in this politicised broad and 'intercontinental' way are sufficiently sound? - ie is it 'notable' as it stands? And if not, then does it still deserve its own article? Matt Lewis ( talk) 19:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep: Numerous reliable sources use this specific phrase. From the media ( RTÉ, BBC), though academia ( National Museum Wales, Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations (p 2186, index), Penn State University), through published music ( here and here) to governments ( Isle of Man Government, Welsh Government) and many others. Curious this should be nominated for deletion. Daicaregos ( talk) 19:53, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

You can't just link to uses of the word "Celtic"! That's a 'modern Celt' issue. Matt Lewis ( talk) 19:59, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Each source uses the phrase 'Celtic nations' in context. Daicaregos ( talk) 20:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Welsh Assembly uses the format "Celtic 'nations'" for a festival. None of it is worthy enough to me I'm afraid, not for its own article. There seems to be no agreed definition for a start. The best one's the Museum of Wales, but it says "Today, Wales is considered a Celtic nation, one of a family of nations and regions" - it just talks about Wales and then "nations and regions" - all of which were Celtic areas that retained some historical identity. It's a push to say that ref says "Celtic nations" for the lot. Well, it just doesn't. And the Welsh Assembly one uses deliberate quotes too. Some of these are simply regions. I just think 'Celtic nations' is too fanciful a term for it's own article when there is already one on Celts (modern). You can certainly find these sources if you look for them though. Does that mean all the forking is okay? I don't know. I'd like to see some neutral input though - a 'Celtic nationalist' here! Matt Lewis ( talk) 23:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Welsh Government uses Celtic nations to describe those represented at the festival. The links I provided was not a definitive list, they were examples. Here's another one from the Scottish Government. I see you've quarelled with and/or insulted nearly everyone who voted to keep the article. Is 'neutral input' just those who agree with you? Whatever … Keep! Daicaregos ( talk) 15:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and consider reorganisation or merge with related articles according to merge procedures. Although you could argue it's a spin-off of Celts (modern) and keep it on those grounds. It's a long article which people want to contribute to, and just because there's no single definition of "celtic nation" is not grounds for deletion. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 17:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - this is not just invented here; plenty of sources prove that. Normal editing processes can fix the issues noted. Bearian ( talk) 23:01, 4 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, this is a widely used term, defined and in use by notable organisations. Frankly, some (not all) of the "delete" opinions being expressed here are just very ugly Celtiphobia and racism. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 11:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC). reply

This article is about a Chabad rabbi in the UK. I could find no substantial evidence for him outside of internal Chabad documents--and even the internal evidence is not very strong. This was deprodded with the note "well known Rabbi involved in Jewish studies in the UK", but no additional sources were provided. If the discussion here establishes a substantial consensus that he is notable by virtue of his position within the organization, I will be happy to withdraw this nomination. But as far as I can determine, he doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Arxiloxos ( talk) 20:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

That's not a constructive way to start this discussion, and I trust that future discussion will steer clear of further personal attacks. Sticking to the merits: we have lots of articles about rabbis, but these are generally rabbis with some indication of notability in the Wikipedia sense. I've tried hard to find acceptable sources about Rabbi Cohen, but outside of his own website I've found very little. I couldn't find him at the official website for Chabad Lubavitch UK, http://www.chabad.org.uk/ . The chabad.info link is a group photograph. No other Wikipedia articles appear to mention him. Google has less than 30 hits for his name, and none of them appear to be independent reliable sources about him. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 05:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

This is not a list of fictional works in mass media. It is a list of slogans in fictional works. Since that list would be so WP:INDISCRIMINATE, I don't know why it has been limited to a few particular ones, and even then has a section called "Miscellaneous" - if that's not WP:INDISCRIMINATE I don't know what is. Notable slogans can have their own articles but either this needs to be renamed or deleted. Si Trew ( talk) 20:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete. Actually it's not even that. It's a rag-bag of a few quotes from books somebody read once, some things they found funny off of US television, and so on. It seems fairly obvious to me that if this is a "list of x (since it's certainly not a list of fictional works in mass media)" then x must be so broadly defined as to be not worth having. It's OK for lists to be incomplete but surely there is no point in having eight books, two films, twenty or so US TV programmes (which of course is not WP:WORLDWIDE but that could be fixed by expanding the list to every TV show someone once liked that was broadcast somewhere in the world)?

Fails WP:GNG. This was deleted in 2011 and I've no idea how it came to be recreated. I've just had to remove every single citation because the sources were no better (probably the same) as those discussed in the last AfD. As per normal for the creator, this is a family biographical article, hence the use of family documents as sources. Sitush ( talk) 20:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

NB: the creator shows as Fæ ( talk · contribs). I've no idea why because the creator is clearly in reality Pkandhal ( talk · contribs) (the family member). It looks to me like Fae may have somehow ignored the original deletion decision but I've no idea why they'd do that given that they participated in it. Perhaps I'm misreading something somewhere. - Sitush ( talk) 20:17, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy delete as repost. After the original deletion, Fae seems to have userfied this article for Pkandhal ( talk · contribs) (no problem there). However, Pkandhal soon moved the userfied draft back into mainspace without repairing the sourcing problems that led to the original deletion. Comparing the draft as userfied (presumably the text when deleted) to later versions shows minimal, generally cosmetic differences, and all but one of the references used are primary sources that lack verifiability -- the only fact in the article sourced to a plausibly reliable source is the identity of the subject's uncle, hardly enough to establish notability. This is pretty much identical to the deleted text, negligible if any improvement, but it somehow evaded scrutiny when moved back to mainspace.

Bermicourt, under those terms, there would be three articles under discussion.  :-)   We have an article called German_language_in_Europe which covers German-and-dialects-thereof. Germanic is a supercategory, used by linguists, which *does* most definitely include English. Therefore, the topic of this AfD, Germanic-speaking Europe (aka Germanic Europe per DBachmann), is a "parent" article of German_language_in_Europe. The "grandparent" article is Germanic languages, which talks about Germanic-speaking (English/German/Danish/etc) practice worldwide. Fakirbakir is suggesting that the parent-article-content of Germanic-speaking Europe be fully merged into appropriate subsection of the grandparent article which is Germanic languages#Modern_status (they already share a map).

Unremarkable blog that fails WP:WEB; the only independent source (RealClimate) doesn't even mention the blog. Other sources mention it in passing, [16] [17] but nothing really significant. The closest anything comes to significant coverage in a reliable source is this post on National Review's blog, which is a blog and as such may not be reliable.

Cirt, I didn't come across the Herald article; could you provide a link or citation? Also, searches on books.google.com (and other Google searches) do not return results that only contain the search terms; it uses an algorithm to guess at what results might interest the searcher. So while books.google.com returned around 110 results, maybe 25 actually contained "d'aleo" and "icecap", and of those, a half dozen or so are self-published. Also, I found hundreds of hits in google, but no independently-published reliable sources with more than a trivial sentence about the organization. I'll definitely reconsider my decision if any significant coverage turns up. –– Agyle ( talk) 03:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Well, turns out it's not a secondary source, as it was written by D'Aleo, but it was indeed published in The Boston Herald, for what it's worth. Article title: "As you were saying … Alarmists, just chill out". Hope that is helpful, — Cirt ( talk) 04:11, 11 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Yep, thanks. Highbeam has the first three paragraphs of the editorial (the rest is paywalled), and a forum post contains its apparent full text. Icecap doesn't seem to be mentioned; perhaps it occurs as part of the title in the author's signature, which isn't included in the forum post. –– Agyle ( talk) 06:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge summarized version to Joseph D'Aleo, and include disambiguation on Icecap (disambiguation) (D'Aleo is founder of the organization and website, executive director of the organization). Fails general or website notability, and while there are several citations in reliable sources to papers from ICECAP, I could not find any independent reliable source coverage of the organization itself or its website more a one-sentence description. The Wikipedia article's title and opening sentence give the misimpression that ICECAP is simply a blog rather than an organization. As Cirt notes, it is the website of "International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project"; the organization's website is variously described as a blog and a portal (its own one-sentence description of itself as a portal is widely used). This paper from The American Behavioral Scientist describes the organization as a "think tank", and lists affiliations of several authors (possibly "climate experts") who cite an affiliation with ICECAP. D'Aleo alone seems to list ICECAP as his primary affiliation, and many trivial references in reliable sources just mention ICECAP as they introduce or cite him (e.g. Reagan, Michael; Denney, Jim (2011). The New Reagan Revolution: How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness. St. Martin's Press. pp. 152, 361. ISBN  978-1-4299-8996-1.).
There are maybe 20 reliable source independently-published books that cite papers published on ICECAP's website. While the mentions are not directly about the website, they do provide some indication of its notability. Here are the first half dozen I checked:
While the website's papers are cited by other works, and its director, D'Aleo, is widely quoted, the big problem is the lack of independent coverage about the organization itself. A quality Wikipedia article would be either nearly empty, or depend almost exclusively on information from icecap.us. I think it's better to list a pared-down description of the website in the article about D'Aleo.

  • Strong keep. First of all, Meredith is female. Secondly, she isn't an actress, she's a writer and producer, so WP:FILMMAKER/ WP:CREATIVE would apply (not WP:NACTOR as suggested above, unless she acted in something that I can't find). On that basis, Averill easily meets those requirements. She created Star-Crossed, a TV series on The CW. You can see on that show's page how often it's been referenced and reviewed, which meets the third criteria. I think she'd be notable on that basis alone, but she's also produced for The Good Wife and written for a number of other major American television shows, and a quick google search shows a number of interviews in various publications. mikeman67 ( talk) 20:48, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. She meets criteria 3: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." A television show on The CW is pretty clearly a well-known work, I would think. And it has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles, as you can see on Star-Crossed's references section. Other articles that mention her: [18] [19]. That was just after a quick search. But regardless, I think she pretty clearly meets FILMMAKER. mikeman67 ( talk) 18:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Relatedly, I'd appreciate getting that established from this draft at AFC into a bona fide article in Wikipedia. I am told at AFC that the term is a "neologism"!!!, as if it is not a well-defined term.

There is no point in redirecting such a vague name to anything else. The redirect target however could be the film's director Mani Ratnam. But that would have been the solution if the name was Mani Ratnam's untitled film or something such. Best solution would be to see if filming has started and if not then delete it.

  • Comment: Proposal for Future Film AFDs. I've actively been following AFD for just a couple weeks, and there have been several of these film project articles. Moving them all to a /draft space, plus adding links to the /draft articles to a running list in Wikipedia space, perhaps somewhere in Wikipedia:WikiProject Film, would be kinder to contributors and more constructive and more in keeping with GFDL license. I see there is inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Future films/Article listing, a listing as of 2009 of future film projects, most which became articles. A routine message template could be created, to be left on contributors' talk pages, about where to find their article and linking to wp:NFF and linking to the WikiProject Films list of them all, showing theirs. Wouldn't that be better? -- do ncr am 22:04, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Response User:doncram. I have been following AFDs for 6 years. What would be kinder is to return them to their creator's userspace and assist in their bettering their article. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:30, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply
      • Hi, thanks for your reply on this tangent. What's different now is the availability of /draft space, where film projects and anything else AFD-rejected on "too soon" argument could be held. Userfying gives it back to just one person, while some system covering future films and so on could save them for use by anyone. I think many persons would be happier to see their work put there, if there is good chance it will be used if/when criteria are met (i.e. when principal filming is documentable). There would need to be a proper system to have all "too soon" AFDs contribute to there, and for everyone involved in the AFD and every one of the original contributors all to know about the item, too. That would increase chances of original article being salvaged. Also, to clarify, over many years I have from time to time over dealt with individual AFDs, but only recently have been focusing on the area. -- do ncr am 22:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Per a RfD here, the effective deletion of this article should be resolved at AfD. The reason for proposed deletion or redirect of this article is that any discussion of the topic long enough to even form a stub would be a WP:POVFORK of Assassination of John F. Kennedy. As written, this article is clearly not neutral - relying solely on a single conspiracy theorist's analysis to draw the conclusion (stated as fact in the article) that Oswald did not fire a rifle.

  • Keep. The deletion policy WP:ATD says, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." And, "Consider adding a tag such as cleanup, disputed or expert-subject instead". In the RfD of this article, a consensus was found that this article is not a WP:POVFORK, therefore this article was restored. In that RfD there was also a consensus that this article had a WP:POV issue and a consensus was found on solving these issues by making amendments to the text (I agreed to CanadaJack's proposal of explicitely attributing certain sentences to their author). Therefore VQuakr created this AfD in violation of WP:ATD, because he created this AfD before he, myself or anyone else made any changes to this article. VQuakr also tried to delete this article via WP:D-R before, which was rejected. I just recently made changes [ 1 ] in the article according to the consensus on the POV issue. The article does not "rely solely on one source" and it also does not rely on a "conspiracy theorist" which is obviously used in a pejorative way against historian Gerald McKnight, whose "Breach of Trust is the leading study of the Warren Commission" [1]. The "conspiracy theory" claim is also invalid because no theory about a conspiracy for the JFK homicide is mentioned in the article. The article does not represent a fringe theory, because all reliable sources on the NAA performed on the assassination evidence share the same conclusion with the exception of John Gallagher, who is no expert on the subject (but whose opinion is now also included in the article). The article is also no fringe theory because the conclusions mentioned (on whether Oswald shot JFK or not) are only one part of the bigger whole of the article. The article also is no fringe theory because now also the conclusion of John Gallagher which builds the Warren Commission Report's view is included in the article. The argument not even wrong is invalid because the text of the article entirely consists of reliable sources in natural science, history and criminal justice. The article can not be covered effectively in the JFK assassination conspiracy theories article because it is not about a conspiracy or a theory but instead on the AEC's investigation of JFK assassination evidence. Icarus4 ( talk) 02:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Since most of your statement is just contradiction I will not extend this AfD by addressing it. However, I do wish to point out the outright falshood above, "In the RfD of this article, a consensus was found that this article is not a WP:POVFORK, therefore this article was restored." The actual RfD closure stated the following: "The result of the discussion was article restored. VQuakr essentially tried a WP:D-R here, but D-R is BOLD, and there's consensus to revert it. No prejudice against AfD, a merge proposal, or similar actions." No conclusion whatsoever was drawn about its status as a fork. VQuakr ( talk) 02:36, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
This is incorrect because of three reasons: First, it is not necessary to repeat all consensual topics in the closure summary of a RfD (in the e.g.: the POV issue). Second, your argument for your attempted WP:D-R was [ [24]] WP:POVFORK and there was consensus to revert your attempt which means consensus was found to reject your argument of POVFORK. Third, the consensus to reject the argument of POVFORK was explicitely stated in the discussion. I repeat here the consensus from the RfD on why this article is not a POVFORK: "The article is not a WP:POVFORK because it is not a fork. But some of its content is disputed for its representation (attribution of quotes to their author)." And "The target article contains no information from the redirected article. This information is also not contained anywhere else on Wikipedia." Regarding one of VQuakr's arguments from his opening posting: This article is much longer than a WP:STUB (an article containing only one or a few sentences of text). Icarus4 ( talk) 09:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete'. Icarus' claims notwithstanding, this is essentially the opinion of a single author, who is a well-known conspiracy theorist, and hence does not warrant its own page. And, yes, he is a "CT" because he concludes, using his opinion as fact, that the FBI and Warren Commission deliberately covered up these tests as they "knew" the tests "proved" Oswald was not the assassin. Indeed, this POV article dismisses one objection to the conclusion that Oswald did not fire a rifle by describing this person as someone "with no expertise" while citing the opinion of McKnight who, as a historian, has even less expertise yet McKnight's opinion is in the lede with no explanation as to how a historian is more an expert than a ballistics professional! Further, the most obvious and fundamental objection to these tests - Oswald's original paraffin sample was handled, altered and had contamination and is therefore useless in terms of gaining ANY definitive conclusions - is utterly buried in the article with a quick rejoinder. If this was NOT a POV article, the lede would include something along the lines of "the utility of the tests has been questioned owing to the contamination and handling of Oswald's paraffin sample." As previously stated, a brief mention could be made on the rifle page to these tests saying that some see it as indicating Oswald did not fire a shot, and/or placed on the conspiracy page with a similar note. Canada Jack ( talk) 16:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
All these arguments are irrelevant for an AfD. I will only address the most important reasons why. Your argument, "this is essentially the opinion of a single author", even if it were right, would be irrelevant for an AfD. For a lack of diversity of sources, the "one source" template is already used, and also the "expert-subject" template could be used. Fortunately there are several other sources available, but unfortunately I don't have access to all their works, therefore I invite all editors with access to those sources to contribute to the article. Your argument, "an author, who is a well-known conspiracy theorist" is also irrelevant for an AfD, because it is an argumentum ad hominem which is an informal fallacy. This argument of yours is also a personal attack against the independent, third-party, reliable source Gerald D. McKnight, because it is used as a pejorative aiming to debase his work. This argument of yours would also be irrelevant even if McKnight were what some call a "conspiracy theorist", because he would still be an independent, third-party, reliable source (see above: argumentum ad hominem). Your argument, "this POV article [...]" is irrelevant for this AfD, because for the WP:POV issue there is already the "POV" template is use. All those of your arguments that I won't contradict here shall be discussed in the article's Talk page chapter "POV issue". I already answered there. Icarus4 ( talk) 22:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep'. The page should be kept, but re-written, so that McKnight's conclusions are clearly marked as his conclusions. It is not a conspiracy theory that the AEC tested the paraffin casts, and that its results suggested Oswald did not fire a rifle. This has been discussed in Harold Weisberg's Post Mortem, David Wrone's The Zapruder Film, Gerald McKnight's Breach of Trust, and Don Thomas' Hear No Evil. The most complete discussion, by far, however, is on my website, patspeer.com, in the chapter Casts of Contention. It can be found here: http://www.patspeer.com/chapter4e%3Acastsofcontention Now, to address one of the problems mentioned by those wanting to kill the page---that there is no alternative voice offered--well, the reason for this is, in part, that those claiming Oswald acted alone have never dealt with this issue, except by pretending it didn't exist. My 7-24-07 post on the Reclaiming History blog ( http://www.reclaiminghistory.org/) discusses Vincent Bugliosi's incredibly flawed treatment of this issue in his book Reclaiming History. In closing, then, let me state that it would be a travesty to delete this page because it suggests a possible conspiracy simply because those claiming there was no conspiracy have never dealt with this issue, and refuse to deal with this issue, decades after Weisberg first discussed it, and 6 years after I first posted the results of the NAA tests online. FWIW, should the page be allowed to stay, I will help re-write it so that the conclusions contained within are clearly marked.(UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patspeer ( talk • contribs)

  • Keep It was one of the first universities, as verified by Britannica and a book from Cambridge University Press, which I added as references. It is misleading to say it was a "stadium." it was not just a place where football was played. It was a Studium generale, which means simply that it was a medieval university. Legitimate and verifiable universities have been kept in all previous AFDs I have seen. If it closed after 5 years, so what? Notability is not temporary.

Certainly an interesting topic considering it hasn't even been invented yet, see my comment below, but I think we're jumping ahead of ourselves.

  • Comment According to this article, the substitute in question already exists and is a benozodiazapine derivative, but Nutt won't divulge its idenity. If it's already in use and indicated as a treatment, we probably already have an article about it and so this would be superfluous unless his particular product ends up being notable per se.

  • You would have speedied it? By what criteria? It has a good cross section of WP:RS and meets WP:GNG. A Google news search easily reveals multiple coverage -- dating as far back as September of last year -- in the city's largest daily, the public broadcaster CBC and private network Global. The nominator's rationale seems to ignore that entirely and the comment above from an admin that he would have unilaterally speedied it is disconcerting, to say the least.Keep. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 04:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The sources (well, the originals, a lot are just re-hashes) meet RS, but are they substantial enough? This isn't even a park, it's a prank sign in one corner. Andy Dingley ( talk) 09:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
This started out as a prank sign, then after public debate, was officially retained by the Vancouver Parks Board as a piece of public art. Even if it remained at the level of a prank, if it has the refs it's a bona fide member Category:Practical jokes and Category:Individual signs. But it did not end there, as substantial coverage verifies. We have a nomination statement that misrepresents the state of the article, with a claim that "an offhand Twitter" is "the canon source behind all of this" -- a quip that, weighed against the considerable WP:RS out there -- all the reporting that has been done by major news organs -- is flatly untrue. And of an admin who's threatened to delete it because... ? I'm concerned that what we have here is a WP:IDON'TLIKEIT argument taking hold. If it's notable according to reliable sources, editors' personal views about intrinsic merits of pranks, or public art pieces that start as pranks, or articles about individual signs, or what topics they personally prefer to see in Wikipedia are of no consequence.

A valid question, seeing that there have been 8,233 inductees in the general and military divisions (and 19,400 OAMs, in case anyone would also want to consider them). Our Category:Members of the Order of Australia shows many AMs who are unquestionably notable for the reasons they were given this and other accolades, e.g., Olympic gold medals. I suspect that many recipient bureaucrats and military personnel are non-notable beneficiaries of insider reward systems—as against outsiders who need to perform more exceptional deeds to attract recognition. Be that as it may, I propose that we NOT consider anything less than the AO ranking as sufficiently notable in itself. Bjenks ( talk) 02:37, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The previous AfD was withdrawn when the nominator learned that this was an educational assignment. That was courteous, allowing time for improvement, although mainspace articles should meet mainspace standards whatever their origin. However, a year on, there have been no major improvements, and in fact I notice that none of the article's original authors has edited since December 2012, that presumably being when their class project ended. Consensus now is clear that this does not meet Wikipedia's standards and that, though an article on this subject might be possible, it would be better started from a clean sheet.

This article in an essay. This article is written as such due to a class assignment that is far over and is wholly unencyclopedic. The article is written in a manner that attempts to persuade, and short of a complete rewrite, this article has no content that is salvageable. In addition, there is a whole section ( Sexism_in_the_family#Media_for_children) that has nothing to do with the family, but instead an entirely different subject. A merger with Sexism may be considered, but this page has so much bias in it that a complete rewrite of any facts would be needed for a merge with that article.

  • Delete. Survived the first AfD because it was involved in an educational assignment, but Oklahoma State University should be ashamed of itself for allowing its students to leave the article in such a state. Not only is it an essay, it is a horrible OR essay. It fails to adequately define the topic. The sources listed are not used to aggregate the consensus view of an established topic, but rather are cobbled together to form a vague and original thesis. I am always hesitant about voting "delete" for a topic that hypothetically could be worthwhile, but in this case it is ill-defined. Any attempt to fix it would be more work than simply deleting this mess, but more importantly would be an artificial attempt to recitate a fatally flawed article because it happened to have a good title.

  • Delete, this is a real topic, and a real issue, with a lot of real research done on it. An encyclopaedic treatment could be good, but this isn't it. Article starts with a POV perspective (granted, one that I share) then attempts to convince the reader that it's bad and that something must be done. That's not what Wikipedia is for. Agree with the above assessment that a new title would be needed at a minimum, as well as a hefty dose of WP:TNT to start the thing over. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:19, 8 March 2014 (UTC). reply

I question the practical use of this separate disambiguation page. Most of this page is essentially a duplicate of Winter Olympic Games#List of Winter Olympic Games. Then there are only two other links currently listed on Winter Olympics (disambiguation)#Other Uses. A better alternative would be to modify hatnotes on the top of Winter Olympic Games, [2] instead of having readers go to this additional DAB page.

There was previously a hatnote at the top of Winter Olympic Games. However, I felt that the disambig page was worthwhile as the two main 'alternative' uses are significantly less notable than the topic itself.

I propose to delete this article because of content forking. There is a more appropriate article for the subject ( Celts (modern)). Fakirbakir ( talk) 21:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete: (merge what's acceptable but isn't merged already) It's also what I call a 'Wikipediaism' - something promoted by Wikipedians, if not pretty much invented by them. It's historically fluff as a term. There was no such thing as 'Celtic nations' when the Celts were around, and they cannot be called 'Celtic' now in any properly academic sense: at most it's a candy word for sports games, historical events and the like. But these endless sub articles just get forked with all kinds contentious politics. I think this article just happens to suit various nationalists in here who want these places to be sovereign countries, and it appears to me that they are largely the people who frequent this page. A section on modern Celtic ancestry should be enough for any properly academic encyclopedia in my view. (ie in the actual Celts article - but this should be deleted all the same, as I argued on the talk page a year or so ago). Matt Lewis ( talk) 22:30, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep: The two articles are about two different things. One is about the political territories in Europe, the other is about the ethnic (i.e. cultural) group that includes those living in other parts of the world, such as the Welsh language community in Patagonia. Bodrugan ( talk) 02:40, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

You are 'Cornish' though. The idea of that being a 'Celtic nation' is just romantic. It's not encyclopedic enough for it's own page - none of it is. It's too political, and it's not historically accurate enough. Celts did not have nations, and Cornwall is not a nation now. Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

keep-merge, Fakirbakir, what are you up to? There are naming issues here, but the way to resolve them is not deleting articles left and right, the solution is coming up with decent proposals for re-arranging the topic and then convincing people to implement it via WP:BRD. Don't try to resolve complex questions of content via the deletion process, it isn't the appropriate tool. -- dab (𒁳) 09:25, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

It was brought to talk last year but no debate happened at all. Everyone who attends the article wants the article that's why. That's partly why WP has have 'AfD'. It's not complex at all imo, it's actually quite simple. There too much forked subs in these areas, and each sub article get's less and leas encyclopedic. Sections in the main article's are fine. I personally think that Modern Celts is an article too much, and I'm 'supposed' to be one! (it's funny how I don't feel very different to anyone else though, and have no desire to forge iron objects at all). Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Answering the question, I just try to stir up the still water. Somebody creates a FORK and due to the well sourced text the article becomes unmovable. As I see no one really cares about the future of these articles. Fakirbakir ( talk) 13:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I think a fair amount of people will want to keep this one, and it will be interesting to see how many other people think it's too unencyclopedic, or an article too many. Ie how many people still support the old inclusionist 'Wikipdia is infinite ideal = ie let 'everyone have their say'. The simple forking argument may not count here, as people will argue that this group of Celtic nations actually exist. But the idea has no authority at all though. No sovereign, or UN or European recognition as such or anything like that. It's all romantic at best, and to this extended broad degree it's political (ie they support each others causes, as minority separatists always do). They don't have the sources that cover this extended use either: not outside of partisan websites. Matt Lewis ( talk) 13:56, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep (don't delete): Agree with Bodrugan's comment, Celts(modern) is concerned with Celtic Identity in modern times (Modern Celtic culture). Jembana ( talk) 09:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

The thing is, you have a user-page thing saying your "proud to be Celtic". That's absolutely fine. But an article called 'Celtic nations' is essentially a third-level sub article, and isn't ok at all. It just makes Wikipedia look a bloated and decidedly non-academic mess imo. Even as a 'notable term' (which I don't think it is personally) areas like Welsh TV news programmes - which can be quite nationally 'proud' overall - do not normally refer to any of these nations as 'Celtic nations' - and only Wales in terms of 'home nation' sport like Rugby. It's article-section material, not it's-own-article stuff. And when they do use the term, they are not pronouncing on France or Cornwall etc at all. That's an important point to: it's not used politically at all. It's intrinsically political in here, hence all the forked politics. The forking will always happen in pages like this. This article is basically yet another article on Celts (or Modern Celts if we have to have that too), but with a specifically 'nation'alistic flavour.

  • Keep: The article could use some improvement, but not deletion. Celtic nations is about the nations, both historic and contemporary. Celts (modern) is about modern manifestations of ethnic identity. The concept and term is not unique to WP; it predates the existence of Wikipedia by generations, at least, and is a common framing in Celtic studies and politics. If some editors are politically opposed to the identification of the Celtic Nations as socio-political entities, that's not a valid basis for deletion. - CorbieV ☊ 17:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Celts didn't have nations. It's one of the reasons they spread so far then died out. This is all modern politics. This is another 'Celtic' area editor btw. This needs non-interested participants. Matt Lewis ( talk) 18:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
'Breton' banquet? Content forking is all this article contains - that was made pretty clear by Fakirbakir. Also AfD's often deal with merging too.

  • Delete This is full of content forks and seems to be a POV view from the Celtic League.

  • Keep -- This is a legitimate article which is not about Celts (modern), though it is a main article linked to that. Merging back to that article would unbalance that one. It may be that it is covering material in other articles, but I do not know which. This article may be about political POV, but that does not mean that it is a POV-article in the WP sense. Artilces on POVs have a legitimate place in an encyclopedia. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:30, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I do understand the inclusionist argument, but do you think that the available sources for using the term in this politicised broad and 'intercontinental' way are sufficiently sound? - ie is it 'notable' as it stands? And if not, then does it still deserve its own article? Matt Lewis ( talk) 19:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep: Numerous reliable sources use this specific phrase. From the media ( RTÉ, BBC), though academia ( National Museum Wales, Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations (p 2186, index), Penn State University), through published music ( here and here) to governments ( Isle of Man Government, Welsh Government) and many others. Curious this should be nominated for deletion. Daicaregos ( talk) 19:53, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

You can't just link to uses of the word "Celtic"! That's a 'modern Celt' issue. Matt Lewis ( talk) 19:59, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Each source uses the phrase 'Celtic nations' in context. Daicaregos ( talk) 20:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Welsh Assembly uses the format "Celtic 'nations'" for a festival. None of it is worthy enough to me I'm afraid, not for its own article. There seems to be no agreed definition for a start. The best one's the Museum of Wales, but it says "Today, Wales is considered a Celtic nation, one of a family of nations and regions" - it just talks about Wales and then "nations and regions" - all of which were Celtic areas that retained some historical identity. It's a push to say that ref says "Celtic nations" for the lot. Well, it just doesn't. And the Welsh Assembly one uses deliberate quotes too. Some of these are simply regions. I just think 'Celtic nations' is too fanciful a term for it's own article when there is already one on Celts (modern). You can certainly find these sources if you look for them though. Does that mean all the forking is okay? I don't know. I'd like to see some neutral input though - a 'Celtic nationalist' here! Matt Lewis ( talk) 23:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply
The Welsh Government uses Celtic nations to describe those represented at the festival. The links I provided was not a definitive list, they were examples. Here's another one from the Scottish Government. I see you've quarelled with and/or insulted nearly everyone who voted to keep the article. Is 'neutral input' just those who agree with you? Whatever … Keep! Daicaregos ( talk) 15:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and consider reorganisation or merge with related articles according to merge procedures. Although you could argue it's a spin-off of Celts (modern) and keep it on those grounds. It's a long article which people want to contribute to, and just because there's no single definition of "celtic nation" is not grounds for deletion. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 17:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply

This article is about a Chabad rabbi in the UK. I could find no substantial evidence for him outside of internal Chabad documents--and even the internal evidence is not very strong. This was deprodded with the note "well known Rabbi involved in Jewish studies in the UK", but no additional sources were provided. If the discussion here establishes a substantial consensus that he is notable by virtue of his position within the organization, I will be happy to withdraw this nomination. But as far as I can determine, he doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Arxiloxos ( talk) 20:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

That's not a constructive way to start this discussion, and I trust that future discussion will steer clear of further personal attacks. Sticking to the merits: we have lots of articles about rabbis, but these are generally rabbis with some indication of notability in the Wikipedia sense. I've tried hard to find acceptable sources about Rabbi Cohen, but outside of his own website I've found very little. I couldn't find him at the official website for Chabad Lubavitch UK, http://www.chabad.org.uk/ . The chabad.info link is a group photograph. No other Wikipedia articles appear to mention him. Google has less than 30 hits for his name, and none of them appear to be independent reliable sources about him. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 05:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Keep' the article as chabad.info established notability. Rabbis don't get huge media attention so consider chabad links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.207.213 ( talk) 03:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

This is not a list of fictional works in mass media. It is a list of slogans in fictional works. Since that list would be so WP:INDISCRIMINATE, I don't know why it has been limited to a few particular ones, and even then has a section called "Miscellaneous" - if that's not WP:INDISCRIMINATE I don't know what is. Notable slogans can have their own articles but either this needs to be renamed or deleted. Si Trew ( talk) 20:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete. Actually it's not even that. It's a rag-bag of a few quotes from books somebody read once, some things they found funny off of US television, and so on. It seems fairly obvious to me that if this is a "list of x (since it's certainly not a list of fictional works in mass media)" then x must be so broadly defined as to be not worth having. It's OK for lists to be incomplete but surely there is no point in having eight books, two films, twenty or so US TV programmes (which of course is not WP:WORLDWIDE but that could be fixed by expanding the list to every TV show someone once liked that was broadcast somewhere in the world)?

Fails WP:GNG. This was deleted in 2011 and I've no idea how it came to be recreated. I've just had to remove every single citation because the sources were no better (probably the same) as those discussed in the last AfD. As per normal for the creator, this is a family biographical article, hence the use of family documents as sources. Sitush ( talk) 20:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

NB: the creator shows as Fæ ( talk · contribs). I've no idea why because the creator is clearly in reality Pkandhal ( talk · contribs) (the family member). It looks to me like Fae may have somehow ignored the original deletion decision but I've no idea why they'd do that given that they participated in it. Perhaps I'm misreading something somewhere. - Sitush ( talk) 20:17, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy delete as repost. After the original deletion, Fae seems to have userfied this article for Pkandhal ( talk · contribs) (no problem there). However, Pkandhal soon moved the userfied draft back into mainspace without repairing the sourcing problems that led to the original deletion. Comparing the draft as userfied (presumably the text when deleted) to later versions shows minimal, generally cosmetic differences, and all but one of the references used are primary sources that lack verifiability -- the only fact in the article sourced to a plausibly reliable source is the identity of the subject's uncle, hardly enough to establish notability. This is pretty much identical to the deleted text, negligible if any improvement, but it somehow evaded scrutiny when moved back to mainspace.

Bermicourt, under those terms, there would be three articles under discussion.  :-)   We have an article called German_language_in_Europe which covers German-and-dialects-thereof. Germanic is a supercategory, used by linguists, which *does* most definitely include English. Therefore, the topic of this AfD, Germanic-speaking Europe (aka Germanic Europe per DBachmann), is a "parent" article of German_language_in_Europe. The "grandparent" article is Germanic languages, which talks about Germanic-speaking (English/German/Danish/etc) practice worldwide. Fakirbakir is suggesting that the parent-article-content of Germanic-speaking Europe be fully merged into appropriate subsection of the grandparent article which is Germanic languages#Modern_status (they already share a map).

Cirt, I didn't come across the Herald article; could you provide a link or citation? Also, searches on books.google.com (and other Google searches) do not return results that only contain the search terms; it uses an algorithm to guess at what results might interest the searcher. So while books.google.com returned around 110 results, maybe 25 actually contained "d'aleo" and "icecap", and of those, a half dozen or so are self-published. Also, I found hundreds of hits in google, but no independently-published reliable sources with more than a trivial sentence about the organization. I'll definitely reconsider my decision if any significant coverage turns up. –– Agyle ( talk) 03:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Fails general or website notability, and while there are several citations in reliable sources to papers from ICECAP, I could not find any independent reliable source coverage of the organization itself or its website more a one-sentence description. The Wikipedia article's title and opening sentence give the misimpression that ICECAP is simply a blog rather than an organization. As Cirt notes, it is the website of "International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project"; the organization's website is variously described as a blog and a portal (its own one-sentence description of itself as a portal is widely used). This paper from The American Behavioral Scientist describes the organization as a "think tank", and lists affiliations of several authors (possibly "climate experts") who cite an affiliation with ICECAP. D'Aleo alone seems to list ICECAP as his primary affiliation, and many trivial references in reliable sources just mention ICECAP as they introduce or cite him (e.g. Reagan, Michael; Denney, Jim (2011). The New Reagan Revolution: How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness. St. Martin's Press. pp. 152, 361. ISBN  978-1-4299-8996-1.).
There are maybe 20 reliable source independently-published books that cite papers published on ICECAP's website. While the mentions are not directly about the website, they do provide some indication of its notability. Here are the first half dozen I checked:
While the website's papers are cited by other works, and its director, D'Aleo, is widely quoted, the big problem is the lack of independent coverage about the organization itself. A quality Wikipedia article would be either nearly empty, or depend almost exclusively on information from icecap.us. I think it's better to list a pared-down description of the website in the article about D'Aleo.

  • Strong keep. First of all, Meredith is female. Secondly, she isn't an actress, she's a writer and producer, so WP:FILMMAKER/ WP:CREATIVE would apply (not WP:NACTOR as suggested above, unless she acted in something that I can't find). On that basis, Averill easily meets those requirements. She created Star-Crossed, a TV series on The CW. You can see on that show's page how often it's been referenced and reviewed, which meets the third criteria. I think she'd be notable on that basis alone, but she's also produced for The Good Wife and written for a number of other major American television shows, and a quick google search shows a number of interviews in various publications. mikeman67 ( talk) 20:48, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. She meets criteria 3: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." A television show on The CW is pretty clearly a well-known work, I would think. And it has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles, as you can see on Star-Crossed's references section. Other articles that mention her: [18] [19]. That was just after a quick search. But regardless, I think she pretty clearly meets FILMMAKER. mikeman67 ( talk) 18:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Moving from delete to Meh.

There is no point in redirecting such a vague name to anything else. The redirect target however could be the film's director Mani Ratnam. But that would have been the solution if the name was Mani Ratnam's untitled film or something such. Best solution would be to see if filming has started and if not then delete it.

  • Comment: Proposal for Future Film AFDs. I've actively been following AFD for just a couple weeks, and there have been several of these film project articles. Moving them all to a /draft space, plus adding links to the /draft articles to a running list in Wikipedia space, perhaps somewhere in Wikipedia:WikiProject Film, would be kinder to contributors and more constructive and more in keeping with GFDL license. I see there is inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Future films/Article listing, a listing as of 2009 of future film projects, most which became articles. A routine message template could be created, to be left on contributors' talk pages, about where to find their article and linking to wp:NFF and linking to the WikiProject Films list of them all, showing theirs. Wouldn't that be better? -- do ncr am 22:04, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Response User:doncram. I have been following AFDs for 6 years. What would be kinder is to return them to their creator's userspace and assist in their bettering their article. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:30, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply
      • Hi, thanks for your reply on this tangent. What's different now is the availability of /draft space, where film projects and anything else AFD-rejected on "too soon" argument could be held. Userfying gives it back to just one person, while some system covering future films and so on could save them for use by anyone. I think many persons would be happier to see their work put there, if there is good chance it will be used if/when criteria are met (i.e. when principal filming is documentable). There would need to be a proper system to have all "too soon" AFDs contribute to there, and for everyone involved in the AFD and every one of the original contributors all to know about the item, too. That would increase chances of original article being salvaged. Also, to clarify, over many years I have from time to time over dealt with individual AFDs, but only recently have been focusing on the area. -- do ncr am 22:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Per a RfD here, the effective deletion of this article should be resolved at AfD. The reason for proposed deletion or redirect of this article is that any discussion of the topic long enough to even form a stub would be a WP:POVFORK of Assassination of John F. Kennedy. As written, this article is clearly not neutral - relying solely on a single conspiracy theorist's analysis to draw the conclusion (stated as fact in the article) that Oswald did not fire a rifle.

  • Keep. The deletion policy WP:ATD says, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." And, "Consider adding a tag such as cleanup, disputed or expert-subject instead". In the RfD of this article, a consensus was found that this article is not a WP:POVFORK, therefore this article was restored. In that RfD there was also a consensus that this article had a WP:POV issue and a consensus was found on solving these issues by making amendments to the text (I agreed to CanadaJack's proposal of explicitely attributing certain sentences to their author). Therefore VQuakr created this AfD in violation of WP:ATD, because he created this AfD before he, myself or anyone else made any changes to this article. VQuakr also tried to delete this article via WP:D-R before, which was rejected. I just recently made changes [ 1 ] in the article according to the consensus on the POV issue. The article does not "rely solely on one source" and it also does not rely on a "conspiracy theorist" which is obviously used in a pejorative way against historian Gerald McKnight, whose "Breach of Trust is the leading study of the Warren Commission" [1]. The "conspiracy theory" claim is also invalid because no theory about a conspiracy for the JFK homicide is mentioned in the article. The article does not represent a fringe theory, because all reliable sources on the NAA performed on the assassination evidence share the same conclusion with the exception of John Gallagher, who is no expert on the subject (but whose opinion is now also included in the article). The article is also no fringe theory because the conclusions mentioned (on whether Oswald shot JFK or not) are only one part of the bigger whole of the article. The article also is no fringe theory because now also the conclusion of John Gallagher which builds the Warren Commission Report's view is included in the article. The argument not even wrong is invalid because the text of the article entirely consists of reliable sources in natural science, history and criminal justice. The article can not be covered effectively in the JFK assassination conspiracy theories article because it is not about a conspiracy or a theory but instead on the AEC's investigation of JFK assassination evidence.

Since most of your statement is just contradiction I will not extend this AfD by addressing it. However, I do wish to point out the outright falshood above, "In the RfD of this article, a consensus was found that this article is not a WP:POVFORK, therefore this article was restored." The actual RfD closure stated the following: "The result of the discussion was article restored. VQuakr essentially tried a WP:D-R here, but D-R is BOLD, and there's consensus to revert it. No prejudice against AfD, a merge proposal, or similar actions." No conclusion whatsoever was drawn about its status as a fork. VQuakr ( talk) 02:36, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
This is incorrect because of three reasons: First, it is not necessary to repeat all consensual topics in the closure summary of a RfD (in the e.g.: the POV issue). Second, your argument for your attempted WP:D-R was [ [24]] WP:POVFORK and there was consensus to revert your attempt which means consensus was found to reject your argument of POVFORK. Third, the consensus to reject the argument of POVFORK was explicitely stated in the discussion. I repeat here the consensus from the RfD on why this article is not a POVFORK: "The article is not a WP:POVFORK because it is not a fork. But some of its content is disputed for its representation (attribution of quotes to their author)." And "The target article contains no information from the redirected article. This information is also not contained anywhere else on Wikipedia." Regarding one of VQuakr's arguments from his opening posting: This article is much longer than a WP:STUB (an article containing only one or a few sentences of text). Icarus4 ( talk) 09:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete'. Icarus' claims notwithstanding, this is essentially the opinion of a single author, who is a well-known conspiracy theorist, and hence does not warrant its own page. And, yes, he is a "CT" because he concludes, using his opinion as fact, that the FBI and Warren Commission deliberately covered up these tests as they "knew" the tests "proved" Oswald was not the assassin. Indeed, this POV article dismisses one objection to the conclusion that Oswald did not fire a rifle by describing this person as someone "with no expertise" while citing the opinion of McKnight who, as a historian, has even less expertise yet McKnight's opinion is in the lede with no explanation as to how a historian is more an expert than a ballistics professional! Further, the most obvious and fundamental objection to these tests - Oswald's original paraffin sample was handled, altered and had contamination and is therefore useless in terms of gaining ANY definitive conclusions - is utterly buried in the article with a quick rejoinder. If this was NOT a POV article, the lede would include something along the lines of "the utility of the tests has been questioned owing to the contamination and handling of Oswald's paraffin sample." As previously stated, a brief mention could be made on the rifle page to these tests saying that some see it as indicating Oswald did not fire a shot, and/or placed on the conspiracy page with a similar note. Canada Jack ( talk) 16:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
All these arguments are irrelevant for an AfD. I will only address the most important reasons why. Your argument, "this is essentially the opinion of a single author", even if it were right, would be irrelevant for an AfD. For a lack of diversity of sources, the "one source" template is already used, and also the "expert-subject" template could be used. Fortunately there are several other sources available, but unfortunately I don't have access to all their works, therefore I invite all editors with access to those sources to contribute to the article. Your argument, "an author, who is a well-known conspiracy theorist" is also irrelevant for an AfD, because it is an argumentum ad hominem which is an informal fallacy. This argument of yours is also a personal attack against the independent, third-party, reliable source Gerald D. McKnight, because it is used as a pejorative aiming to debase his work. This argument of yours would also be irrelevant even if McKnight were what some call a "conspiracy theorist", because he would still be an independent, third-party, reliable source (see above: argumentum ad hominem). Your argument, "this POV article [...]" is irrelevant for this AfD, because for the WP:POV issue there is already the "POV" template is use. All those of your arguments that I won't contradict here shall be discussed in the article's Talk page chapter "POV issue". I already answered there. Icarus4 ( talk) 22:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep'. The page should be kept, but re-written, so that McKnight's conclusions are clearly marked as his conclusions. It is not a conspiracy theory that the AEC tested the paraffin casts, and that its results suggested Oswald did not fire a rifle. This has been discussed in Harold Weisberg's Post Mortem, David Wrone's The Zapruder Film, Gerald McKnight's Breach of Trust, and Don Thomas' Hear No Evil. The most complete discussion, by far, however, is on my website, patspeer.com, in the chapter Casts of Contention. It can be found here: http://www.patspeer.com/chapter4e%3Acastsofcontention Now, to address one of the problems mentioned by those wanting to kill the page---that there is no alternative voice offered--well, the reason for this is, in part, that those claiming Oswald acted alone have never dealt with this issue, except by pretending it didn't exist. My 7-24-07 post on the Reclaiming History blog ( http://www.reclaiminghistory.org/) discusses Vincent Bugliosi's incredibly flawed treatment of this issue in his book Reclaiming History. In closing, then, let me state that it would be a travesty to delete this page because it suggests a possible conspiracy simply because those claiming there was no conspiracy have never dealt with this issue, and refuse to deal with this issue, decades after Weisberg first discussed it, and 6 years after I first posted the results of the NAA tests online. FWIW, should the page be allowed to stay, I will help re-write it so that the conclusions contained within are clearly marked.(UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patspeer ( talk • contribs)

This started out as a prank sign, then after public debate, was officially retained by the Vancouver Parks Board as a piece of public art. Even if it remained at the level of a prank, if it has the refs it's a bona fide member Category:Practical jokes and Category:Individual signs. But it did not end there, as substantial coverage verifies. We have a nomination statement that misrepresents the state of the article, with a claim that "an offhand Twitter" is "the canon source behind all of this" -- a quip that, weighed against the considerable WP:RS out there -- all the reporting that has been done by major news organs -- is flatly untrue. And of an admin who's threatened to delete it because... ? I'm concerned that what we have here is a WP:IDON'TLIKEIT argument taking hold. If it's notable according to reliable sources, editors' personal views about intrinsic merits of pranks, or public art pieces that start as pranks, or articles about individual signs, or what topics they personally prefer to see in Wikipedia are of no consequence.

They also seem to have been created by an editor with potential for WP:COI (based on timing, their userpage content, these are the only two articles the user has created so far, and user's own photos used in the articles).

This is clearly heading for deletion, seeing as we're in the middle of an election campaign and shouldn't be giving non-noteable candidates articles, is it possible for this AfD to be closed now and delete rather than waiting the 7 days? Timeshift ( talk) 02:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC) reply

I've removed the link to Denny at Candidates of the South Australian state election, 2014 in the meantime. Timeshift ( talk) 00:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC) reply
A valid question, seeing that there have been 8,233 inductees in the general and military divisions (and 19,400 OAMs, in case anyone would also want to consider them). Our Category:Members of the Order of Australia shows many AMs who are unquestionably notable for the reasons they were given this and other accolades, e.g., Olympic gold medals. I suspect that many recipient bureaucrats and military personnel are non-notable beneficiaries of insider reward systems—as against outsiders who need to perform more exceptional deeds to attract recognition. Be that as it may, I propose that we NOT consider anything less than the AO ranking as sufficiently notable in itself. Bjenks ( talk) 02:37, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I agree with this 100%.
The answer is definitely no, although AC definitely would be and AO probably. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 12:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The previous AfD was withdrawn when the nominator learned that this was an educational assignment. That was courteous, allowing time for improvement, although mainspace articles should meet mainspace standards whatever their origin. However, a year on, there have been no major improvements, and in fact I notice that none of the article's original authors has edited since December 2012, that presumably being when their class project ended. Consensus now is clear that this does not meet Wikipedia's standards and that, though an article on this subject might be possible, it would be better started from a clean sheet.

This article in an essay. This article is written as such due to a class assignment that is far over and is wholly unencyclopedic. The article is written in a manner that attempts to persuade, and short of a complete rewrite, this article has no content that is salvageable. In addition, there is a whole section ( Sexism_in_the_family#Media_for_children) that has nothing to do with the family, but instead an entirely different subject. A merger with Sexism may be considered, but this page has so much bias in it that a complete rewrite of any facts would be needed for a merge with that article. A deletion of this page is the best decision. 155blue ( talk) 02:02, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, presentation seems well sourced and most educational and encyclopedic for topic choice. — Cirt ( talk) 01:16, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Presentation is sourced an is completely in violation of WP:NOR. It is an essay which job is to persuade, not to inform. This violates one of the pillars of wikipedia in that it is completely biased. 155blue ( talk) 17:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Survived the first AfD because it was involved in an educational assignment, but Oklahoma State University should be ashamed of itself for allowing its students to leave the article in such a state. Not only is it an essay, it is a horrible OR essay. It fails to adequately define the topic. The sources listed are not used to aggregate the consensus view of an established topic, but rather are cobbled together to form a vague and original thesis. I am always hesitant about voting "delete" for a topic that hypothetically could be worthwhile, but in this case it is ill-defined. Any attempt to fix it would be more work than simply deleting this mess, but more importantly would be an artificial attempt to recitate a fatally flawed article because it happened to have a good title.

  • Delete per WP:TNT. I take the view that any article with more than six 'cleanup' templates automatically qualifies for speedy deletion; not including {{ notability}} which is missing, there are currently seven.-- Laun chba ller 17:50, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, this is a real topic, and a real issue, with a lot of real research done on it. An encyclopaedic treatment could be good, but this isn't it. Article starts with a POV perspective (granted, one that I share) then attempts to convince the reader that it's bad and that something must be done. That's not what Wikipedia is for. Agree with the above assessment that a new title would be needed at a minimum, as well as a hefty dose of WP:TNT to start the thing over. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:19, 8 March 2014 (UTC). reply

Outside of the one obituary and a blogspot uploading his work, I'm not finding anything on this guy, so I feel he's not notable. Rusted AutoParts 00:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Given the fact that he just died the easiest thing to find is his obit. However, dig a little deeper into Google and you can even find him referenced on Russian academic sits. Not bad for someone around 80 who did most of their work before Facebook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.16.26.90 ( talk) 03:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose deletion. Gordon Bell is a significant name in British comics and cartooning. The article may be poorly referenced (I've added another ref, so that's a press obituary and a reference in a scholarly book, which I think should be enough to establish notability) but that's no reason for deletion. This proposal should be summarily closed and replaced with a refimprove tag, -- Nicknack009 ( talk) 12:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
