No
independent and
reliable sources provide any serious or in-depth coverage of this obscure Brazilian UFO conspiracy tale. The claims made in the article text don't stand up to
WP:REDFLAG, and the bizarre quotation ("alarmated"?) attributed to an unnamed Air Force official is frankly absurd. Finally, the title of the article seems to be a non-English speaker's failed attempt at English grammar.

USMC official and ufologist, as showed at the source. And I just found a third, independent one via a quick Google search. Regarding the title and the grammatical errors, those can easily be fixed,
that's no argument for deletion.

- Weak delete. I will admit that I have difficulty evaluating these types of articles that are built only upon what some people have alleged has happened. To me, the question here is not "Does the sourcing supports the topic as a notable incident?" but rather "Does the sourcing supports this topic as a notable allegation?" If taken on good faith, the only independent, reliable source that I can find is an undated primary source document out of the Brazilian Embassy that seems to indicate all information about this alleged incident comes from a report by "Dr. Olivio Fontes".
[1] For this to be a notable allegation, there would need to be coverage of the allegation in multiple sources that are independent and reliable. There are a few GBook hits for "Itaipu" + "UFO" that are likely reliable sources for the fact that Fontes made some allegations, but given the nature of those books I questions whether they are "independent" of the subject matter. They are certainly not reliable for presenting the details of those allegations as fact.

- Strong keep. The AfD was understandable, considering the meager lines, the promotional nature, the utter lack of references. But a clue to me about notability (I understand the pageview measure is not an official guideline, but it is helpful as an indicator, IMHO) was
huge pageviews, even 600+ pageviews on one day. Plus, the article has been around here awhile in Wikipedia, 5 years, without deletion; plus previous versions of the article were much longer, but unsourced, so they got trimmed substantially, rightly so, to stubbify the article; but I think much of the previous version was nevertheless correct (albeit rather promotional, perhaps written by a student or colleague?, that is, somebody unfamiliar with Wikiquette?). Still, it is good the article was AfD-ed to bring it to attention. Searching, I found numerous reliable references, added. Notable legal scholar, legal educator, ethics advocate, many many sources. Revamped article should stay.--

- Delete - Agree with
Johnpacklambert that this is a very "run-of-the-mill" law professor that does not pass notability guidelines. Will note that frequently the professor's resume has been posted -- in full -- to Wikipedia, which frequently goes unnoticed for years. To me this is circumstantial evidence of promotion/+ a *lack* of notability. (Will admit that I gave an initial stab at a clean-up, but did not have much time to do work as good as has been recently done by you all). The statistics are useful but the way they are presented is misleading (through no fault of
Tomwsulcer I will add): due to the manner in which bar preparation is conducted in the U.S., many tens of thousands of students are likely exposed to the lectures at once, during the summer months. It is logical that page views will spike during this time, before the late-summer bar examinations, but the average daily page views are much less than 600 -- and much closer to 50. Even so, page views are only circumstantial evidence of notability. Based on many of the deleted edits to this article, it appears (but cannot be verified) that the professor is popular with students -- but this is not necessarily notability. Lots of professors are popular with students. No concrete evidence or unbiased secondary source suggests that this professor passes the notability threshold. The credentials/references currently noted are very common in the field. --

WP:ACADEMIC but
WP:GNG and she easily surpasses the GNG with 20 references, including substantial coverage in
reliable sources.--

15:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

- Yes, I saw those references when I said that no evidence existed indicating notability. I don't understand your basis for granting Michael Hunter Schwartz such authority for his case study. As I noted when I edited out a misrepresentation that characterized that reference as a *ranking* of 26 law professors, it is in fact not a ranking. It is a case study of 26 professors that the author chose for whatever reason. There is no qualitative or quantitative analysis performed in that work that compares those professors to the rest of the field. Even assuming it were a ranking, I do not believe that William H. Bowen School of Law is exactly renown for its opinion on the legal education system. I note that many Yale/Harvard law professors here -- with careers that go back to the 1950s, much more impressive clerkships (Supreme Court), and many more publications -- have mere stubs of articles. I would argue that *they* might not even pass the notability threshold, either -- and it is highly likely that at least 20 references could be found for them, too. As for MSNBC, many law professors and other attorneys also appear as legal experts on network television. CNN employs a few regulars in-house. Why does this confer notability? Evaluating all of these references in context, it is clear that this professor is not notable. You suggest earlier that "whats cool is she is talented in so many areas that it is hard to identify one area of expertise" -- isn't this an admission that it you cannot identify an area of expertise? Please look at the profesisonal website pages for virtually any law professor at any law school; you will see a large number of comparable references. If this professor is notable, then we should get to work making pages for every law professor in the United States. --

- Michael Hunter Schwartz is acknowledged as an authority on
legal education who is a
law school dean. He is well-qualified to write with two other academics on the 26 best law school teachers. They used a rigorous selection methodology which included nominations, screening, even personal visits. Check out the
methodology for selecting the 26. Few professors are chosen to appear as experts on MSNBC since they are vetted by television executives beforehand. Why does author Richard Reuben write the following:
I later mentioned how impressed I was with Paula to a colleague of mine who teaches property, and he told me just who she is: she is a respected property casebook author and scholar, a leader in the AALS Section on Teaching Methods, a star on the Bar Bri circuit, and, at the time, a seven-time winner of Seton Hall’s teaching award. She is now up to nine. Who is Reuben? A chaired professor at the University of Missouri, well qualified to write such a book. Franceze is notable.--
Tomwsulcer (

19:19, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

- Again, I believe you are grossly mis-stating and representing these sources. I quote from
WP:GNG: "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. You're using Schwartz's university profile and university page on his deanship to decide whether to give weight to his book and a methodology that I do not believe stands for the proposition you continue to cite it for. You then cite to a "nine-time" award bestowed on Franzese by the institution that employs her. None of these sources are independent of the subject (and this is a basis that Reuben cites for his opinion -- so I strongly question its value). There are only a handful of sources, even including Schwartz's book, that might stand for the proposition of notability, but again
WP:GNG: "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason." I do not think a significant level of coverage exists here, given the handful of sources. This page has a history of being abused for promotional purposes (which continues inasmuch as the Schwartz work is misrepresented). You may be unfamiliar with the legal education industry, but awards of this type are commonplace, and could essentially be considered promotional materials. Media appearances -- and you only cite to one network -- are commonplace for law professors at Franzese's level. You do not address this point, but I stress it, the type of information you rely on for notability would extend notability to most, if not all, law professors at accredited U.S. law schools. I do not think this can be the case. We may have to agree to disagree, but to me it is becoming very clear that this professor is not notable, and I wonder whether your defense of the article has more to do with the work you've put in it than the subject matter at hand (I note you've given this article as much weight as the one for
Richard Allen Epstein, for example, and much more than the one-liner for
Trevor Morrison, who clerked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg). Will you fully flesh out these pages next? What is the distinction? Strong delete. --
MaRoWi (

- Nonsense. Schwartz is a reliable source.
Professor Schwartz has 20 years of experience in legal education and is widely considered a leading national expert in law teaching and learning says NTXE News, and Schwartz et al selected Franzese as one of the top 26 law school professors in the US;
Publishers Weekly reviewed Schwartz's book
here. Overall it is an excellent indication of Franzese's notability. That Seton Hall awarded Franzese best teacher award for nine years is not a COI -- the school could have chosen any of the
other law professors there, but they didn't; Seton Hall chose her out of 80+ full-time professors. That means something. If those awards were commonplace, why didn't the other 79 law professors get them? And nine years she earned this award. I doubt you could prove your assertion that all law professors at a certain level appear on MSNBC as experts; my sense it is very few are chosen, and they are selected because they are vetted by TV producers. Your references to other lawyers and whether they appear in Wikipedia is irrelevant to this discussion. My interest in this subject is simply that Franzese meets the GNG. Simple as that.--
Tomwsulcer (

01:45, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

- Well, at this point I think we're at an impasse. I think "What the Best Law Teachers Do" is a non-quantitative, highly subjective work on teaching methods (essentially case studies) and it's a misrepresentation to suggest it reflects a determination that the professors studied are somehow quantitatively "the best". I think this is essentially the only distinctive source that exists for Franzese, and that isn't enough to get past the GNG guideline requiring substantial recognition. If you've ever watched MSNBC, you'll have noticed that law professors are frequent guest commentators (in every sub-field of law), and therefore Franzese's occasional contributions are not notable. I believe you simply ignore the COI issues present. I believe you ignore the weak academic impact indicated by previous posters. I believe you take every other piece of evidence -- like pointing out a seasonal peak 600+ page views but omitting the fact that the average is generously around 50 -- out of context. The guidelines only make sense in context; you apply them as absolutes, you can eventually make any page seem notable. We can keep talking past each other, but I think it is time for other people (e.g., not people defending their own work on this page) to weigh in. --

chairwoman of the NJ Ethics Commission, serving with
three New Jersey governors -- this is hardly "run of the mill" stuff. Certainly you will not argue that every law professor gets to be appointed chairwoman of the NJ Ethics Commission, like they all take turns like its musical chairs. Or,
winning the Rosenman Prize at Columbia Law School -- is this another of your COI awards (possible spurious reasoning: Columbia University was where Franzese went to school QED Columbia has a vested interest in awarding the Rosenman Prize to her, like maybe Columbia gives every law school graduate a Rosenman Prize). Be realistic. When the
Philadelphia Inquirer wants to quote an expert on ethics, to comment on the Christie bridge lane closure scandal, they chose [
Franzese -- clearly a sign of notability to be quoted on this subject in a big city daily. Maybe you're fixated on deleting every lawyer who isn't
Clarence Darrow but clearly Franzese meets Wikipedia's GNG requirements in spades.--

WP:GNG seeks significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources, and even that only grants a presumption of notability, to be considered along with other guidelines such as those dealing with single events.

- Delete. Gilbert is a non-notable cinematographer. After cutting out all the notability-irrelevant sources we are left with a New Zealand TV documentary and subsequent New Zealand newspaper coverage of his meeting with his birth mother in Russia. Frankly, TV makes these kind of documentaries all the time with fly-on-the-wall following of adopted children, homeless people, drug addicts, victims of scams, families on benefit etc etc etc. To my mind this kind of thing falls under
WP:NOTNEWS. The subjects of this kind of coverage have no ongoing notabiity. The only difference in this case is that the subject has written a book and has some aptitude for self-publicity.

- Delete. All three criteria for
WP:BLP1E seem to be met, which suggests "we should generally avoid having an article" on such a subject. The claim of notability is based on Gilbert being the subject of a TV news piece and an article about his finding his birth parents. The amount and duration of coverage were limited, and fall short of establishing Gilbert as an ongoing notable individual. Another point brought up is he wrote an autobiography, but this was self-published, and while it may be interesting it is not indicative of notability. ––

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a collection of every bit of trivial information in the world, and therefore is somewhat selective. This information belongs on the UC Davis website, not here.

WP:N defines what notable means: just because someone is a researcher or university faculty member doesn't mean they're notable if they're not written about in
properly-published third-party sources;
WP:SCHOLAR explains what it takes to be a notable academic, and basically it requires you to have made a significant contribution to learning beyond what is typical for an academic. Aside from that, lists are generally expected to have more than one member.

I find little evidence that George is a historian. The sources for her historical fiction work do not seem to be sufficiently independent of her or reliable. There seems to be no indication that her works have received the notice we generally require for people to pass the author inclusion criteria. Publishing multiple historical novels is not enough to make someone notable, and as far as I can tell that is all she has done. If people can find reliable sources I would be open to inclusion, but my preliminary search just revealed passing references in places that trace basically all published works, no indication of major contributions.

Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr., with the amount of material merged based on our usual editorial processes at that article. There was a lot of arguments here on both sides that needed downweighting for a variety of reasons:, for lack of analysis of specific sources, for OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments, and for misunderstandings of policy. A more careful analysis of sources would have nodded, for example, to WP:ORG/ORGDEPTH. Some bits of the discussion could be seen as relating to WP:AUD, and so on. Net, as to independent notability, I find a consensus in view of policy for the article not being notable, and a lack of arguments for complete deletion that leaves merge/direct the outcomes directed by WP:ATD. --

What a waste, and how discouraging. These are great reasons for me to leave Wikipedia. I think I should get the award for this week on Wikipedia for being the editor who is "most discouraged." At any rate and in my perspective, the foundation is notable, and that is why I created an article about it. I did my best to reference everything. Also, the entity is a foundation that is medium-sized, as has been identified in my refs from the University at Buffalo and Urban Index out of Washington, DC. The entity has also been identified in a nationally-related book regarding such foundations, which reference I will add shortly.

- Daniella, you've certainly been very very sorely done by on Wikipedia of late, but not by AfDs, so please don't confuse the two. Having one's articles deleted are a rite of passage on Wikipedia, and the only way we really learn what's encyclopedically notable and what's not. Painful? Yes. But Wikipedia is not a personal site. Notability is not for you as the article creator, and a Wiki newbie, to decide. It's for experienced editors well versed in Wikipedia's notability standards to determine. If you are worried that your content will forever be lost, then keep a copy of the text on a user subpage or a Word document. As it stands, like any article creator, you are too close to your own work, and in this case too new to Wikipedia, to know what's encyclopedic and what confers notability. In the future, you might want to check with a mentor as to whether prospective subject matter meets Wikipedia notability standards before you pour your zealous efforts into a project. Live and learn, that's the best way to approach Wikipedia, and don't take it personally or too seriously. There are never any guarantees on Wikipedia. All the best, and happy editing,

Daniellagreen, don't take my comments or this discussion as a negative critique of your work. When there is an article that doesn't quite meet our standards of inclusion, however well written it might be, it can come through this process to determine the community consensus for keeping it as-is improving it, merging the content to a more appropriate location, or possibly deleting it entirely though I don't see that as a likely outcome here.

The Buffalo News is not national notability; it's not even regional notability, as the article (which you have not linked) is not about the foundation, it's about a cheese plant. Heck, the foundation doesn't even have a website. Perhaps that's the problem.

Ford Foundation here! I agree with all of you who are pointing out the sourcing problems in the article and the improper overuse of irrelevant references, but that's the messenger, not the message. Let's not rush to judgement here.

- I wasn't addressing GNG. I was addressing Daniella's claim above that "an article from The Buffalo News that provides additional national notability". First of all, the foundation doesn't have national notability, and second of all, an unviewable article about a cheese factory in the Buffalo News does not supply it.

- The problem is that this article is overly reffed (thirteen before the article is eight words long). Many of those refs do nothing to support the notability of the Foundation. You should actually pare back the refs and include only those that, per
WP:GNG address "the topic directly and in detail" bearing in mind that significant coverage "is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Many of the refs you have supplied, if they mention the Foundation, do not address it in detail, and include only a passing reference to it, for example in an obituary. Harry the Dog

Okay, great. I appreciate the constructive comments. I can work on thinning out some of the refs. However, I do believe that I've established notability by using reliable sources, including
The Buffalo News and some other reliable sources, including the book that I added yesterday. That establishes at least the minimum required notability in my understanding. So, the foundation doesn't have a website - its not the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but it is one that has had a considerable impact. As for the ref that includes info about the foundation in association with the cheese cooperative, it is relevant because the foundation provided a loan to it to keep it afloat, otherwise none of the rest of what occurred would have happened. Work with me and locate more references to help support notability rather than cutting down my efforts at trying to improve and maintain the article. Thanks, again, for the insights and suggestions,

- Unless the article addresses the topic "directly and in detail" (as Harry mentioned above), then it's not a substantiation of notability. If all the article says about the foundation is that the foundation provided a loan to keep a cheese factory afloat, then that is not a substantiation of any kind of notability. (Heck a loan isn't even a gift, it's just loan, same as what banks do.)

The Buffalo News, is very much a reliable source that is used to establish national (and regional) notability. You can buy it in many bookstores around the country, not just in Buffalo. Also, Buffalo is the second-largest city in New York State, next to New York City. Why should the Buffalo News get the diss just because its not something like the New York Times or Washington Post?

Minimum notability has been established per GNG. Also, #24 is a dead link, but I don't know how to adjust that to have it apply to the original link without changing it and removing the url; is there a way to link it to an archived original?

citation overkill, probably driven by persistent requests for more and more sources. As of right now, I would say that the article meets the bare minimum for it to be kept under WP:GNG, but seemingly a merge of the content of this article to the Daniel Gernatt page might also be acceptable and closer to consensus.

- Keep. Sources offered in the article are basically routine coverage of opening a new location and some trivial mentions. Searching Google books, however, turned up non-trivial mentions in travel guides (
1 and
2). These aren't wonderful source but I would accept them meeting our requirement for multiple reliable independent secondary sources per
WP:GNG. Since we decide notability based on available sources, not merely what's been cited, I !vote to keep.

- Nothing in the guidelines disallows the use of travel guides to establish notability. We apply the same tests to travel guides as we do to any source, asking that it be reliable, independent and secondary. Travel guides may contain a certain amount of simple directory information, e.g., a list of shops with addresses and phone numbers and little else. But the sources I cited do more than that. They have not merely added the subject to a long list. They've provided the authors' independent thoughts on the subject. That makes them
WP:SECONDARY and perfectly acceptable for establishing notability.

I also found where it's mentioned by various different schools and school-type books (

As stated in the previous AfDs, there is already an article on
Mubahala. A hadith is a saying of
Muhammad, making it a primary religious source, and this article is essentially just a copy-paste job of a primary religious source.
The first AfD nomination had no commentary at all. The second had comments from one editor, though to be honest I feel it wasn't sufficient as the editor mistakenly though it was the 3rd nomination rather than the 2nd (and based their rationale for not deleting on that), and quoted
Wikipedia:Ignore all rules for keeping the page which isn't much of a structured position, leading to another "no consensus."
For those who know a bit about Islamic religious texts, this issue is very clear: this quote from Muhammad is copy pasted here and this quote in particular doesn't have significant coverage even though the even the quote is about -
Mubahala - does. It's not notable in any way. Renominating one last time per

Does not appear to be notable. The impressive-looking list of references are almost all to other anti-abortion organisations (ie not independant), there are a couple of trivial mentions in local press.

- According to
Wikipedia:Independent sources - "Independent sources are not necessarily "neutral" in the sense of being even-handed. An independent source may hold a strongly positive or negative view of a topic or an idea. For example, a scholar might write about literacy in developing countries, and he or she may strongly favor teaching all children how to read, regardless of gender or socioeconomic status, but if the author gains no personal benefit from these children learning how to read, then the publication is an independent source on the topic." So the fact that a source is from another anti-abortion organization does not mean that it is not independent. In fact, because Students for Life of Illinois is a stand-alone non-profit it appears that these other sources likely derive no personal benefit from publishing about another organization in their field and therefore can be considered independent. Also, I've seen no references in the documentation that suggests that local press should be considered trivial.

I created this page. I'm kind of new to creating pages here and I'm a bit confused as to why this is so quickly being considered for deletion. I did a quick search of other non-profit organizations in Illinois and there are several that have either no references or only reference the organization's website. Some have been flagged for notability but have not been deleted. Others have not been flagged. It seems that the
Students for Life of Illinois page should be treated the same way. It's a registered 501c3 and it has more references than many of the other pages in the category. Here are some examples of pages being treated differently:
Air-One Emergency Response Coalition
Center for American Archeology Here's one that's even a student organization with only a non-reference to the state of Illinois website:
Belegarth Medieval Combat Society Here's one with the only reference as their facebook page:
Eastern Illinois Foodbank and some more:
Al Khamsa (organization)
Alliance for Audited Media
Classic Car Club of America
His Wheels International -- I only went through the C's in the non-profits of Illinois category and those are the ones I found, so I'm sure there are many more.
It seems to me that we should treat this page the same as these others in the same category and instead of immediately deleting it, work to improve it together.

WP:OTHERSTUFF seems to support my argument it says: "(This may be an argument that this article is not bad enough to be speedily deleted; but that does not mean it should be kept.) While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this." My argument seems to stand up in that I don't think this article should be quickly deleted and instead it should be improved.

TheLongTone has not demonstrated this organization isn't notable, other than to say that he doesn't think it's notable. What criteria are you basing your assertion on? At what point is an organization notable? If you could list the definitive criteria that has been approved by the Wikipedia foundation, then we can use facts to determine if this particular organization meets the criteria for notability or not. You have stated that "The impressive-looking list of references are almost all to other anti-abortion organisations (ie not independent), there are a couple of trivial mentions in local press." How do you define trivial? What is your criteria for discounting the citations are trivial? The article includes at least three independent sources: The Daily Illini, which is the University of Illinois' Independent Student Newspaper, The Register-Mail (
http://www.galesburg.com/), and Canada Free Press (
http://canadafreepress.com/). In addition to these sources, other pro-life/anti-abortion website sources are provided. You would expect an article about baseball to cite other baseball or sports related sources like ESPN, Sports Illustrated, or baseball-reference.com, you would expect an article about art to have citations from other art related sources, so you would also naturally expect that citations from a anti-abortion / pro-life article to have references from anti-abortion / pro-life sources.
Thanks, hopefully we can get this issue sorted out.jptelthorst 20:20, 23 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding

- The onus is not on me to prove it is not notable (and it is difficult to prove a negative). Rather the notability of the organisation needs to be established. I believe it is not notable becaause it does not seem to have been the subject of any significant media attention. Please read

The notability of the organization has been established based on three independent citations that have been listed in this article, such as: The Daily Illini, which is the University of Illinois' Independent Student Newspaper, The Register-Mail (
http://www.galesburg.com/), and Canada Free Press (
http://canadafreepress.com/)
Again, I would ask you to cite the criteria for the establishment of notability and then explain how the article fails to meet that criteria. I have made an argument above on why I think the citations do establish notability, and you have not refuted my argument by explaining why the citations for the article fail to establish notability.

Keep It seems that you're dismissing the links without looking at context. Under
Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources it says "The reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in the Wikipedia article. If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." LifeNews and LifeSiteNews are considered industry news sources, for example. Just because they are in the same industry does not mean that what they report is not notable or reliable or independent. I think context is important as stated above and I think the context of most or all the sources supports reliability. So, we have independent and reliable sources. Also,
Wikipedia:Notability says "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition," Again, just because there are sources from other organizations within the same 'industry' doesn't mean the coverage is insignificant.

Wikipedia:General notability guideline it says "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." This organization has been featured in the Daily Illini, Daily Northwestern, Young America's Foundation as well as a couple documentaries, most recently 'The 40 Film'. Any claim that this organization has not been featured in the news is, quite simply, not true. Merely because this organization has not been featured in the Wall Street Journal or Forbes magazine does not make it irrelevant to the general public."

2010 in Canada. I don't see much point in deleting a redirect. If a user enters "Canadian current events", may as well send them somewhere relevant. If we don't (for obvious reasons) want to redirect to

I suggest that neither of the posts this person held are inherently notable.
Lord Lieutenant is an honorary post with little real power. We may need to discuss what level of officer is inherently notable, but I suggest that it should not be as low as
Brigadier. This person does not appear to have any significant claim to notability on top of holding these two posts.
PatGallacher (

- Keep. Per
WP:SOLDIER we keep articles on all general officers or equivalent (which includes brigadiers). Although it is not an official guideline, it is accepted by most editors who regularly work on military articles. The Lord-Lieutenant is the representative of the Queen in the county. That is also generally considered to be a notable post and
has its own article. I should point out in addition that Hardie has an entry in
Who's Who and, although the article did not mention it when nominated for deletion, is a
Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, a level of honour which has generally been held to satisfy
WP:ANYBIO #1 (e.g.
this,
this,
this - the CVO is an equivalent grade to the CBE in a more senior order). --

- No, brigadier is not a general officer rank. However, it is considered by NATO to be entirely equal to the rank of brigadier general, which is a general officer rank, and brigadiers wear one star when it is considered necessary to indicate their status in an international context. It also replaced the British rank of brigadier-general, which was a general officer rank. Are we really saying that American brigadier generals are notable, but British brigadiers, holding an equivalent rank with equivalent responsibilities, are not just because Britain has chosen not to give them general officer status? That would be ludicrous and biased. Also, it has been held in previous afds that being a reserve general instead of a regular general makes no difference as far as
WP:SOLDIER is concerned. --

notability is not inherited, there are no positions that automatically grant notability. While some differ, there are many Wikipedians who have concluded that there is no inherent notability. See, for example, the discussion at

- Sorry, that's nonsense. That's not what is meant by "notability is not inherited", some posts are inherently notable, see
WP:BIO. The argument being put forward here is that all military officers from Brigadier upwards are inherently notable, maybe so, but are e.g. Lords Lieutenant inherently notable as well? Note that the consensus is that e.g. ambassadors are not inherently notable.
PatGallacher (
talk)
17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
reply
- Consensus on the latter seems to be changing, especially for ambassadors from Britain and other major countries. Lords-Lieutenant (and ambassadors) tend to receive honours that satisfy
WP:ANYBIO #1. Does that not tend to suggest that the post may be senior enough for notability? We consider that all politicians elected to a national or sub-national legislature and all sportsmen who have appeared in a single high-level international or professional match are notable (many of them are very obscure). Is it too much of a stretch to consider all Lords-Lieutenant to be notable? Aldermen do not usually have entries in Who's Who. Sergeants certainly don't. An entry in Who's Who does not, in any case, indicate automatic notability, but it's a good start. --

Delete, as person fails the
general notability guidelines. Most of the article is about his father and grandfather.
Notability is not inherited. Unfortunately, the one citation and all of the external links were raw urls and are now
dead links. Nonetheless, coverage seems to be lacking. The Russian Wikipedia article is a bit longer, but it has only a single citation to a short biography at RIA Novosti. He was not a columnist, he worked in the newspaper's morgue (archive and background information division) and was in charge of the "Calendar" column that listed upcoming events. A non-notable man in a non-notable position at a notable newspaper, the
Moscow News, with a well-known relative. Note, when searching for him, that there are a lot of
false drops even when using "journalist" as a filter, hits such as "Interview with Nikita Khrushchev's journalist son-in-law" (his uncle). --

- The reasons given for the deletion nomination weren't proper grounds for it. Articles written in foreign languages, unless delete-worthy for another reason, are treated as described at
WP:Pages needing translation into English. Basically, there's a two-week grace period to see if anyone translates them; if not, they get PRODded. As for references being in the wrong place, we don't delete articles for being formatted incorrectly. We repair them or tag them for others to repair.
- Regarding the Angelina Jolie material, I'm supposing that the creator took
Angelina Jolie as a template and hasn't finished adapting it yet. It would have been better done in a draft space, but it would have been premature to interfere this soon. Even if the filmography was still there after a few hours, the proper course of action would have been to delete that content, not the page, since the rest of the material is about the article's subject.
- Unlike a regular PROD tag, a BLPPROD tag can and should be replaced if someone removes it without supplying an appropriate reference.
- I'll do my own notability check since notability is a concern in any case, I just haven't done it yet.

'As a ccnsequence, we pay no attention to intent, which we cannot always judge. We pay attention to the style and the facts that are presented. Facts that could only be directed at a prospective client etc ,are promotional; facts that provide information relevant to the general public who may have heard of the subject are not (the classic example for a company is detailed pricing information; for a school, it is details of the application procedure) The selective presentation of positive facts is promotional; the use of biased language is promotional; the use of adjective of praise is promotional.

No way does this deserve a standalone article. Biggest-selling instrumental single in the history of recorded music or not, this is an unnecessary fork as far as I'm concerned.

- My argument is that we don't need a standalone article when there's almost as much information on
Star Wars Theme then there is here. Per
WP:NSONG, "notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article".--

- You have a point and I agree with the general principle that articles should be about songs, not singles, but this song is a medley of songs from Star Wars so it does not easily merge into any single one of the songs it is made up from. (Even so, a proposal for merger would perhaps have been more suitable than a delete.) --

- Keep. A chart is just a list/a ranking and charting in and of itself is not a notable feat; it is the coverage of that feat that makes it notable (which is why most #1 songs are going to have much more coverage than a song peaking at #75 and why there's an article on this medley and not Mecos's "Pop Goes the Movies", a top 40 hit from 1982). --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars

- The preceding argument overreaches; it denies the the NSONG provisions. Now, while the provisions say specifically they "may" indicate that notability can be found,
WP:DEL also keeps articles for which sources can be found. Not necessarily exist in the article. So this fits neatly in with NSONG assuring that top ranking songs may be expected to get that coverage.

Question if this was a Billboard #1 song, where is the coverage? I should add that charts/single releases alone do NOT make songs notable. If this can't be expanded beyond a stub, it doesn't warrant its own article. Same for if there is no significant coverage from reliable third-party references independent of its album. Unless this can be expanded with coverage outside of album reviews, I say redirect to
Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk. It's definitely a plausible search term, but I so far don't see how it warrants a separate article at the moment.

this book (p. 474), it's discussed (among other songs) in the Billboard article
"Film Themes Spur Rash of Singles Hits", and there's further info on it
here and
here, for starters. These, along with going platinum and going to number one, shows that enough material exists to meet

Completely
unsourced article about a band with no substantive claim of
notability that passes
WP:NMUSIC. Note that "defunct band which had a member who went on to attain notability with a different band later on" is not one of the NMUSIC criteria — and even if it were, it still wouldn't entitle a band to keep an unsourced article, as it's not the assertion of passing NMUSIC that gets a band past NMUSIC, but the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to
verify the assertion. As well, it warrants mention that the article was recently hijacked to write about a different band, which also didn't make any substantive claim of passing NMUSIC as written. Neither band is entitled to keep an unsourced article on Wikipedia, so this needs to be deleted if the sourcing can't be beefed up. Redirection to
Greg Handevidt might also be acceptable, but his article is poorly sourced enough — answers.com is most certainly not a reliable source — to be dancing on the edge of deletability too.

Sources are still paramount, and none of the roles listed seem like candidates for a strong likelihood of reliable sources and wide coverage. The article, after two AFD's still only has two sources and one of them can't be used to ascertain notability.

- Delete - Notability of voice actors is not determined by how many series they have been in, how big those series are or how famous those series are. It's determined by the same thing as every other article - wide coverage in third party reliable sources, none of which are demonstrated by this article to a reasonable degree. The Entertainer sub section is being used as an catch all excuse for articles that don't demonstrate notability without dealing with these core issues and it needs to stop. It's irrelevant how many episodes a show is if the voice provider only has a few lines here and there. If the provision of voices for individual roles is significant than it will be covered in sources suitable. Clearly, in this case it isn't and it should be subject to the same rules as any other page.

- Redirect per above. I tried to find sourcing, but couldn't really find anything. The only true RS I found was a
SLJ blog post and this one source isn't enough to show notability. (On a side note, the SLJ does post a few blogs, but they are fairly discerning about who and what they allow on their website and this is one of only 10 blogs they post on their website. The blog is edited and verified by SLJ editors and is one of the rare exceptions to the blog rule.)

The result was no consensus. As this has already been relisted twice with no additional input, and there are genuine disputes on what is and isn't substantial in reference to reviews, I can't see a consensus here.

here. From 21 June I noticed this list and that some 10+ of these PRODs were charting albums at either ARIA or Billboard. I have gone through more of the 50+ list and added sources where possible and dePRODed any that I felt had a reliable source for their existence. I was hoping to get time to supply further sources to attempt to establish notability. With so many articles to research this is not necessarily achievable in a short time-frame. The nominator has sent most of the dePRODed articles straight to AfD. I ask for time/assistance in actually searching for sources to support the articles' notability.

- Keep, or else
Move to Merge with
It's Christmas (Hillsong album) or
Celebrating Christmas.
Cross Rhythms reviewed the original album back in 2001, but a fairly quick g-hits search could not bring anything else up on that album alone. However, this album was apparently re-released along with
Celebrating Christmas as a dual-album combo entitled It's Christmas, as
discussed by BREATHEcast. The BREATHEcast article does contain a substantial review of Christmas, though, so that and the Cross Rhythms review should be enough for the album to have it's own standalone article. So, it can stay, or get merged into a yet-to-be created It's Christmas article.--

I deleted my "Move" vote as an alternative to merging (I'm not sure what I meant by "move"), as well as eliminating Celebrating Christmas as a possible target. I think at this juncture a merger into It's Christmas, which I hope to create tomorrow, is the best option.--

- You should recommend some Australian sources at the CCM/S talk page. The difference between the Cross Rhythms review and the two others you posted is that Cross Rhythms reviews albums independent of the store. CBN.com does the same thing, and so do other publishers too. If you could demonstrate that the two sources you added did not originate as advertising and are instead quotes of a professional review, then they can qualify as reliable sources.--

- Weak keep per
WP:ENT and
WP:GNG just giving us a pass of
WP:BIO. A predictive that WP:ENT will be satisfied in the future is not a proper rationale for a keep. However, arguing that it is already met is a valid rationale: Career beginning with a named role in one episode of
Pretty Little Liars, and moving to a named role in
Air Collision, a named role in
A House is Not a Home, and a named role in
Jem and the Holograms (a film which
has been heard of), gives us the "significant roles in multiple notable..." as indicated by
WP:ENT. Add this growing career to coverage and photos of this youngster in such as
Hollywood Reporter,
Madame Noire,
Clutch,
Indiewire,
Black Girl Nerd,
Just Jared,
Deadline,
Up and Comers,
The Rooot, and
Netjoven (Spanish), and a mention in
People,
Racked,
Metro, and
Entertainment Weekly, gives us
WP:GNG. A
suitable alternative to a flat-out deletion might have been to suggest this sourcable information could have found a home within the articles on her parents
Harold Perrineau and
Brittany Perrineau, but it increases a reader's understanding to have this article remain and grow further over time and through regular editing. The article author would be well advised to use the additional found sources to cite facts within the article, lest it be returned to AFD by someone who feels only the biggest of film stars can be written of here.

BethNaught's rationale is not acceptable. It is pure
WP:CRYSTAL, there is no evidence that this player will play any time soon from any reliable source, plenty of prospects are signed by top clubs only to never play. It is a fundamental tenet of WP that we only create articles when players are notable, not in anticipation of notability. So far this individual has not played a single second of first-team football at any level, let alone fully professional.

- Keep Google and Google Books both brought up many reliable sources for the article. The claim that a Google search brings up no sources is simply untrue.

- Delete - I am unable to find signficant coverage about this to establish notability. There is some local Bath coverage in the Bath Chronicle like
this article, but coverage in a local paper is insufficient. --

- Delete: The Forrester Research link is paywalled and could be the most solid reference, but it isn't clear whether it is a reference about the sector or this firm, with the former most likely. Other than that, searches are just turning up local start-up coverage. No
evidence of
WP:CORPDEPTH notability found.

- Comment - The preamble verbiage available without payment clearly indicates that the report is on the sector. But even if it were about Koodibook itself, I'm don't believe that it would count towards notability. Forrestor, and similar companies will write research reports on demand. If a Forrestor client asks for a report on something they haven't covered before, they will initiate a report on it if the client desires. I would rely on the Forrestor report for the purprose of verifiability, but I'm not for notability. --
