Article about a company which doesn't make an especially strong claim of notability per se; the most substantive claim here is the vague and unverifiable "a leading supplier". Not blatant enough an advertisement to warrant speedy under G11, but dancing perilously close to that line. The "references", further, are mostly to (a) primary sources such as the company's own press releases, (b) unreliable sources like non-notable blogs, or (c) blurbs in publications that would pass our rules if the articles were longer, but which are in reality far too brief to actually constitute substantive coverage of the company. Literally the only source that even approaches substantive coverage is #6 (SFGate), and that isn't enough to get a company over the notability bar if it's the only substantive source that can be provided. (In addition, there's a conflict of interest here, as a Google search reveals that the creator's username, User:Craigmclaughlin ex, matches the name of this company's CEO's husband ( "I met Maria Peevey (CEO of SimplyShe) and Craig McLaughlin (CEO of extractable.com) both of San Francisco, Ca., as they were planning their wedding at The Parker Palm Springs".) As always, I know that COI isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself if the article can be cleaned up with better sourcing, but it doesn't help the article's case if there are other valid reasons for deletion in addition to the COI alone. As always, I'm happy to withdraw this if the article can be salvaged with better sourcing, but it's not entitled to stick around in this form. Delete if improvement isn't forthcoming.

The article has gone through several incarnations (the author doesn't seem to be sure what the subject of this article is supposed to be): the first consisted almost entirely of the copy-and-pasted resume of the architect Nik Mohamed Mahmood (which I have deleted). The second was about the Menara Axis building. As of now, it has been expanded into what seems to be a list of buildings in Malaysia which supposedly represent postmodernism; the references don't mention postmodernism anywhere, and sometimes don't even mention the individual buildings, either.

Looks like a copy of the given source without the coat of arms. The Banner  talk 21:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi

Well, yes I listed all clubs mentioned as classic by FIFA official website. I did it because i red about beeing a classic club in some wiki articles (like Club Atlético San Lorenzo article). So, I googled it to see what was it, then I created the article and linked to clubs considered classics by FIFA (I didn't finish with that). It's also similar to this article: /info/en/?search=FIFA_Player_of_the_Century which is pretty much a list too !

But if you think this is not worthy in wikipedia it's ok to me. I just wanted to add cool info.

Sorry for my english. User talk:Wikipediow 21:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

You should add independent sources as only they can determine the notability of this list. And you should try to fix the internal links as the article has 23 links to disambiguation pages, like the link to Ajax. The Banner  talk 21:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - certainly the sourcing in the article could be improved, but my Lexis Nexis search shows notability (sorry about no links for easy reference). The chain has received quite a lot of press. Sure a good percentage is "local" in that it comes from Detroit, but coverage in large city newspapers (Detroit Free Press) is not usually what we think of when we say "local coverage". Non-local coverage includes profiles by Canadean, Zoom, and Lexis Nexis itself. The Toronto Star quoted National Coney Island as an authority on coney dogs and had a paragraph or two about the chain. USA Today listed it among the country's top airport food in 2009. CNN listed it as one of the 10 "airport restaurants that taste like home" in 2013.

Why the page should be deleted

Subject fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:ENT. Article fails WP:RS even after repeated attempts to find appropriate references. At best subject appears to be Wikipedia:Too_soon#Actors_and_actresses. The article appears to be an example of WP:PROMOTION with peacocks by people with clear WP:COI. During attempts to fix the article there were multiple sock-puppets banned for vandalizing, and an editor admitting to have been paid by someone with a probable WP:COI - [1].

  • Delete. There certainly are trace elements of notability, but I'm thinking this might be a case of having been created too soon. As the nominator notes, COI/promotional edits have also been a problem, which generally lead me to the conclusion that it's not ready to stand on its own two feet yet. Once there's more coverage in reliable sources, the article can be recreated. Right now, there isn't really much to say except that she appeared on a reality TV show. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 23:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment While there were a couple attempts to clean up the article since the nomination, none sufficiently address the issue of notability. The NY Times citation that was added is a page on the NY Times website that has the subject's name and little else (clicking biography there it even says "Gender Unknown") [2]... and may appear from an automated feed from a movie database... it is not a discussion about the subject... Hence I believe this should be Delete -- Jersey92 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:43, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Keep I came to this article through the RFC on the talk page, which is no long relevant. I arrived after the rewrite, but saw the remains of a multitude of unreliable and primary sources probably left over from the original. I went through and cut them back drastically. We have a pretty low notability bar for actors (and sportsman for that matter) and this, while not amazing, might be enough for her to scrape by. AIRcorn  (talk) 03:54, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment Wouldn't that be at best a WP:BLP1E? Wikipedia is not going to have an article for everyone who appeared on a reality show... -- Jersey92 ( talk) 05:12, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I would agree with you if she hadn't had other minor roles. Also point 2 of one event says "...is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" which is debatable given her career choice. It is a weak keep at the moment given the lack of quality secondary sources, so I might be convinced otherwise. As Ninja says there are traces of notability and I think the COI elements have been dealt with satisfactorily so I am leaning to giving it a chance. AIRcorn  (talk) 06:44, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I understand your point, but feel that what you are describing is pretty much WP:TOOSOON. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 14:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The subject has independent coverage from reliable sources with many television roles. Also, as AIRcorn points out that the COI elements have been dealt with satisfactorily; the same goes with the promotional issue because I don't find any promotional information on the subject’s article. A bunch of poor sources were removed by different editors; the good sources are kept; and the citation issues are fixed according to the edit history. The Rfc is no longer applicable. This article may need expansion on the content, but not deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) 15:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC) — Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. or Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. reply

It is a discussion. Please produce and add to the article real WP:RS that show why the subject passes WP:NOTABILITY. In this subject's case that would likely mean WP:ENT.

Noone is attacking you. Assuming good faith, however, does not mean ignoring an obvious pattern of sockpuppetry and SPAs in an AfD discussion and its associated article. Various accounts with these WP:COIs were even banned by administrators for vandalizing Wikipedia. Please see link above. If we assume good faith from every SPA and sockpuppet we will not have objective AfD discussions. As the nominator I want to make sure this discussion about the article is obective. If you want to fix the article please do so with real WP:RS as I discussed above. As I wrote above this is not a vote. If 100 SPAs and sockpuppets say Keep without providing proper reasons this article is still going to get deleted. The fact that so much problematic editing is going on also makes me believe that this article cannot stand on its own and should be deleted. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 20:18, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The issue isn't about text being copied from your website, the issue is about notability. Per WP:GNG topics must show "significant coverage" from reliable sources independent of the subject. Also, if you want to involve yourself in editing an article about yourself you should familiarize yourself with WP:AUTOBIO. Tchaliburton ( talk) 21:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Could just be a misunderstanding on her part. The article was also tagged for being copied from her website, so it's possible she thought that was the reason for the deletion notice. Regardless, Tchaliburton is correct, sources independent of the subject are needed to establish notability, and all I see is links to personal websites. Also, a google search is showing pretty much social networking and sites for purchasing music, nothing that can be used here to establish notability. Cmr08 ( talk) 23:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

This feels like more of a WP:BLP1E situation than a real long-term article on the company. As before, failed WP:ORG, WP:NOTNEWS among other issues.

  • Comment: The company is only notable for that one notorious case, but generally people only remember the company rather than the case name. My take is to rename to the case name, with Kleargear redirected there. Zhanzhao ( talk) 02:25, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Rename/refactor to Palmer v. Kleargear.com or a similar title. Unless Wikipedia has started recognizing Corporate personhood (and if that's the case, I missed the memo.) WP:BLP1E is inapplicable. I think there's an excellent chance that Kleargear is only notable for the case, though, and given the case really the subject of the coverage, a rename is warranted. WP:NOTNEWS is interesting here, but the most relevant guidance is really at WP:EVENT. There, we do have some international coverage, so WP:GEOSCOPE is modestly satisfied, WP:DEPTH as well, there is modest WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, and given a possible appeal, it's difficult to estimate the chances of any possible WP:LASTING effect, some sort of precedent is plausible here given the novelty of the case, but far from assured. In short, we're left with a judgement call, and in view of those metrics, I lean toward retaining content per WP:PRESERVE, and titling it properly to correct issues of WP:UNDUE weight. If this is moved, I believe a redirect would be appropriate per usual practice. If there is a valid user for userfication, that would be my second choice in order to preserve content should an appeal to the Circuit Court happen. -- j⚛e decker talk 05:14, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and rename per Joe Decker. There's a lot here, though it's fairly recentist for my tastes, it's clearly notable. The WP:EVENT concern... meh... it's real, I'll grant that, but it's got the coverage to at least push it towards the "likely to be notable" side. That said, it was a default judgment, and any remaining contentious parts of the case will probably deal with boring, hashed-out civil procedure issues with no lasting effect. And really... even if we got a nice substantive decision on contract law, is it likely to do much other than discuss the enforceability of penalty clauses? But that's all speculation, and I could honestly be really wrong. In short, I think WP:GNG is met, and that's enough for me. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 08:33, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete/Delay I'm not really sure enough time has passed here, since the events seem to be continuing to unfold (the most recent event in the article is only a few weeks ago), so it's hard to tell how sustained the coverage is going to be in the future. That said, Kleargear by itself doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, and I honestly think the legal case wouldn't, either. I think we should either delete it now until it becomes notable or, if we decide to keep, we should again keep with no prejudice against re-nominating after the actual case has finished unfolding. I would lean towards deleting, because we generally don't keep articles up for things in case they might become notable in the future. 0x0077BE [ talk/ contrib] 23:23, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply

    • Comment; the most important reasons to move the article, rather than delete it and recreate it with the new name (as championed by 5.104.108.125 and perhaps DiMaria999) are: 1) obvious waste of effort doing that. It's foolish to delete an article already written, only to re-write it trying to obtain the same content about the case; rather than pruning the existing article of bits that do not pertain to the case. 2) Doing so would violate WP:CC-BY-SA, which requires maintaining the list of contributors to the article.

I'm not convinced this meets our notability criteria. I've removed a lot of promotional and BLP stuff and only after doing that did I search for recent discussion of it. I can find very little to none in the last year, and I note that the funding is crowd-sourced. This article may have been created in order to aid that. I'm also confused about the release date, in the article 2016 but [6] says 2015 - perhaps lack of funding has postponed this. Dougweller ( talk) 17:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Neuro-linguistic programming may be a pseudoscience but, like it or not, the amount of attention it has got in reliable sources over the past 40 years makes it a notable pseudoscience. That makes the claim in the article that its subject is one of the founders of NLP a definite assertion of notability which, as it is sourced to a volume co-edited by one of the generally-acknowledged founders of NLP, can be presumed verified. However, as that assertion is not elaborated in the article, it currently does no more than warrant a mention in neuro-linguistic programming, and needs that elaboration, reliably sourced from secondary sources, to establish notability for a stand-alone article.

Nominating for deletion. I believe this to be a vanity page for self-promotion of this blogger. His only possible claim to notability is a self-published book that was reviewed by his local hometown newspaper.

Per the notability guidelines for authors, an author is notable if:

  1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
  2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
  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.
  4. The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Certainly none of the preceding apply in this case. Snookyboo ( talk) 19:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, I was the person that compiled the article and as far as Bias is concerned I would be as happy to include all references the four mentioned in the article [22], [23], [24] & [25] and also any from opposing factions such as from The Truth magazine or from activistpost.com. If editors here are happy with the credibility of the organisations concerned and that they are not connected organisations then that sounds good. The main issue here is notability both of the people listed and that many of their quotes mentioned are frequently used time and time again. As far as the organisations that compiled the quotations I know that both the Population Institute Canada and Population Matters have large patrons boards that would be the envy of many research/advocacy groups who all have their own Wikipedia pages. PIC patrons PM patrons. They are notable organisations and I had hoped that the notability of the others would be shown by their content.
Admittedly there is a difficulty with the searchability of the title. Population concern advocates or whatever you want to call them don't have easy to use terminology like “environmentalist”. If anyone has views on a less cumbersome a name for the article that would be welcome. It is a notable topic with people on both sides of the argument compiling notable quotes from notable people.

  • Delete - Should we create "List of people who have expressed views relating to cats being a problem" next?, In all seriousness I'm failing to see the whole point of this article.... – Davey2010 • (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • A problem with cats is never be likely to drive people to starvation or to drive down water table levels to dangerous levels. Away from the world where some people have the fortune to have the spare time to edit Wikipedia others are increasingly pushed into struggle for survival lifestyles. They face unnecessary difficulties that, amongst other things, reduce their chances of education and betterment. Its fine if you do not think that the issue of population is important or that it has as little importance as an issue with cats. And perhaps that's where there is a difference. For me the notability thing is the lack of political attention that is given to the issue of population. Many senior scientists and leaders in their fields say that population is a centrally important issue for all our futures and yet so few senior political figures take on the issue as their responsibility. Peoples of various regions of the world are coming finding it increasingly hard to feed themselves while persisting with unsustainable birthrates that will quite likely end in famine or war. Please don't trivialise this with talk about cats. Gregkaye ( talk) 23:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Wow that's great news and I really wish it was true. Its astounding how little support the issue has got and how much resistance has been given in various areas of environmentalism. Cats have been mentioned twice here for no apparent reason. I know that you have heard of serious issues and population's one of them. And there is a notable gap between the conclusions on the topic of some of the worlds leading thinkers and our responses across our societies. Gregkaye ( talk) 00:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • That list is indeed within an article, where there is a lot more context for the list and, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS aside, people are often known for their environmentalist views while simply expressing a view is rarely notable. The subject of this AfD notes people like Confucious, whose contribution was "Excessive (population) growth may reduce output per worker, repress levels of living for the masses and engender strife," at a time when the world's population was 1/2000 of what it is now. The views expressed by those in this list need context, which the list doesn't provide. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 11:08, 5 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Epeefleche ( talk) 23:29, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
For the bee: the students were semi-finalists in the 2012 & 2014 Scripps bees, and won a regional bee held by Miami Herald. Scripps isn't just a bee, it is the Super Bowl of bees and is broadcast live on ESPN and national television, and the student received national attention for her participation (she is the cover shot for many reports). Only 281 students out of 11 million participate in the Scripps bee annually. It should be worth noting, that accolades for the institution and its students are at least somewhat significant as the school is a Title 1 school serving at risk, low income and minority students. These students generally perform below national average or even grade level yet this school consistently ranks high. Here are a few mentions I dug up about the school. (also: I am not a "he") --  dsprc  [talk] 02:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
You misread my comment. I didn't refer to it as "a bee." I referred to it as "the spelling bee." I'm not sure with whom you are disagreeing. My comment stands. And, btw -- the students who made the semi-finals aren't themselves eligible as a result of that (let alone their school).

The Sporting News should be a reliable source. In its obituary for Ufer, November 14, 1981. p. 59, it says that Ufer "held the world indoor mark for the quarter-mile in 1942." Cbl62 ( talk) 18:45, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Yeah, the 440 record was mentioned in the AP obituary, too, but we both know how legends grow and obituaries soften reality. Honorable mentions become All-Americans, etc.; I've seen a lot of "inflation" in sports-writing, and the writers rarely check original and/or official sources. I would trust the Big Ten and University of Michigan track & field media guides -- they should list all official records set at UM and Big Ten events. Also, if he set an official world record at the Big Ten Conference championships, wouldn't there be contemporary newspaper coverage? Perhaps even in national newspapers like The New York Times? In any event, the subject clearly satisfies WP:GNG based on the several feature articles you've already found. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 18:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I can't find an on-line progression of the half-mile world record, but The Sporting News is pretty reliable -- not a local newspaper. Also, the United Press in this 1944 article said he remained at that time the world record holder in the 440. The Bentley Historical Library also says it here as does the Michiganensian here and The Ann Arbor News here. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:00, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Yeah, I just did a Google News archive search and I'm finding a hodge-podge of stuff from the 1940s, more or less contemporaneous. I found an interesting discussion on the Track & Field News blogsite on point here. We've got a record time (48.1), name of the previous record-holder, and the name of new record-holder who broke Ufer's time. Sounds pretty credible to me, especially when combined with the modern articles that were contemporary with his death. Part of the problem is that the International Olympics Committee and the world track body stopped recognizing non-metric records in the early 1900s, and treated American world records in non-metric distances as non-records. I tweaked the text. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 19:25, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Original research. Handwriting variation exists – see handwriting – but I see nothing in this article that supports that English handwriting varies regionally, in the text or the few references. The variations identified seem to be from foreign languages and archaic ones, so nothing to do with modern English handwriting. JohnBlackburne words deeds 12:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. If this had been created recently I would have been tempted to push it back to the creator and tell them to reference it properly. However, the article started in 2002 so maybe there is some agreement that the topic and content are suitable (though the referencing is not). I think the nominator has misunderstood the scope of the article. It is explicitly not restricted to English although it does only seem to deal with "modern". By "regional" is meant regions of the world. If the references are improved I think it will emerge that most of this is not original research. Thincat ( talk) 13:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I hadn't checked how old it is and that is quite old, back to when our notability standards were quite different. As for English/non-English of course other languages include variations but that's as they are other languages with more or fewer letters, accents, one or more distinct glyphs etc.. The article barely scratches the surface of this. But mostly the topic is entirely unsourced: the references aren't on regional handwriting variations at all but on general variation and the problems it can cause.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 14:45, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The article is not about variations in "English handwriting" as the nominator understood.

I'd consider Brisbane to be large and internationally famous enough that its municipal councillors could qualify in principle for substantive and well-sourced articles, but this is neither of those things. And indeed, Cavarrone is correct that notability cannot be judged solely by Google News hits alone, as Google News aggregates only a few weeks worth of coverage and fails to locate coverage extending further back than that — so GN is a good tool for verifying the accuracy of a fresh claim of notability (e.g. a new article about a politician who just won an election that took place last week), but is not an infallible gauge for the notability of a politician who's been in office since 2008. So no prejudice against future recreation if somebody can create a good and properly sourced new version of an article about her, but this version as written is a delete due to its reliance on exclusively primary sources and lack of any real content more substantive than the fact that she exists. Bearcat ( talk) 18:48, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The thing that's lacking, though, is reliable sourcing. Even a person who cleanly passes one of our inclusion guidelines is still not entitled to keep an unsourced or primary sourced article, and can still be deleted for failing to cite reliable source coverage — the only concession being that it can subsequently be recreated again if real sourcing shows up. It's not the mere assertion of notability that gets a person past one of our notability guidelines — it's the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to verify the assertion.

Carrite, Brisbane's a big city, but they also have a big city council, with 26 councilors. Considering WP:POLITICIAN, subject doesn't meet criteria #1 (international, national, or subnational (i.e. province-wide) office), #2 (local politician with significant press coverage), or #3 (meeting general notability criteria), so I'm not sure how you'd consider this part of the guideline a basis for keeping the article.

  • Delete fails WP:GNG and Notability is not inherited. It doesn't matter what position she holds if she is not active enough to generate significant coverage. -- Bejnar ( talk) 17:36, 11 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Did not find significant coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. I found several sources of one-sentence mentions of her presence at various meetings or events, photo captions in which she is mentioned, but I don't consider these to be significant coverage (e.g., 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8). This Courier Mail article provides a medium amount of coverage about projects on which Owen-Taylor commented. Agyle ( talk) 23:04, 12 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as per Carrite. There are numerous references in Australian newspapers, although I agree that each one is often only a sentence or two, or a quote here or there. Thing is, this lady is a very active politician, going everywhere, attending to all kinds of issues, active, busy, quoted on many topics, and maybe it is just that democracy is much more active in Australia than in the USA. She is clearly an important figure in Brisbane politics -- as pointed out a city of several million people, Australia's third largest, and most notably mentioned in the movie On the Beach as one of the last holdout cities before Melbourne succumbed to radiation, in case anybody saw that movie. She has many important tasks in Brisbane government: deputy council chair, deputy finance chairperson, economic development, and the Lord Mayor on multicultural affairs, whatever that is, but is sounds like they could give her a stallion to ride around for that one, plus costume, issuing edicts maybe even, issuing firebolts and epithets. Of the numerous references, several mention her in depth: this article is almost entirely about her, she is covered extensively in this article, she was a prime focus when angry residents protested her office, and she was featured prominently in this article. Taken together, in sum, with multiple in-depth independent references supplemented by numerous articles in which she is clearly active, quoted, working on many projects, etc, suggests she clearly meets the general notability guideline.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Tomwsulcer, I've checked out your links, my good man, and the problem with the articles that you mentioned-- and it is a common one on Wikipedia-- is that they aren't really about her, they are about a park or a ward or a project and though she may be quoted extensively in the article that doesn't really make the article about her (if we were discussing an article on the park or the ward, these articles would totally go towards verifying their notability, though!). That is why I don't think they add up to bona fide notability (at least, not yet, anyway! But perhaps soon...?) Just some thoughts. I hear Brisbane is a lovely city, though. KDS4444 Talk 04:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply
      • KDS4444, I see somewhat your point, in that the current eighteen references focus on what she does (her actions, policies, statements etc) rather than who she is (her beliefs, backstory, education etc). But my question is, can we separate what we do from who we are? Can we separate actions from identity? My sense is they are tightly intertwined, that what we do as humans and who we are as humans are inseparable, that we define ourselves by our actions. Consider American politician Barack Obama: there are numerous references about what he does in his biographical article. What does he do? Obama signs this bill, does this, signs this bill, or this, or won't fund this project, and so forth. Who is Obama? He is the person doing these things. These references are in Obama's wiki-article, rightly so, because they establish notability; if we remove these references on the basis that the focus of each one is not strictly about Obama and who he is, then the article is reduced to practically nothing. Similarly, by the numerous references about Owen-Taylor's actions as a leading politician in the 3rd largest Australian city, a picture emerges of who she is: builder of playgrounds, roads, waterways (which resulted in conflict with residents etc), pushing forward a $215 million restoration of Brisbane's city hall, etc. It may not seem important to people living in other countries, but it is important to Australians. Further, there are sixty references to Owen-Taylor in the Courier Mail but viewing them is blocked by a paywall; I was only able to view one.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 11:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply

I nominated this article WP:PROD, but someone challenged it. I then looked for the better and multiple references referred to in their reasoning for contesting the PROD, but can't find sufficient breadth/depth for them to pass WP:NMG or WP:GNG.

The fact that it is a professional association affiliated with the police would in my opinion make it somewhat notable. Maybe not grand, but notable.

  • Merge into United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan, 2012#District 6, as the person doesn't seem to be separately notable; he's just another candidate who lost against incumbent Fred Upton in one of Upton's numerous elections. It has 38 references, but it seems like the vast majority of the sources are of the kind that aren't worth much for notability: (1) pure self-sourced campaign advertising material and "biographies" from conflict-of-interest political organizations; (2) updates about polls from time to time during the election season, not biographical material; (3) announcements of campaign stops; (4) short mentions in multi-candidate summaries during campaign season. It appears that the user who was behind this non-neutral article didn't even believe in the article except as a temporary campaign tool: He simply abandoned Wikipedia when it appeared that the candidate wasn't going to win. The only valid edit since the 2012 election was an uninvolved user adding one line mentioning that this person lost. -- Closeapple ( talk) 02:18, 25 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I haven't seen any other "Roller sport in..." articles to judge by, not sure how we judge GNG against this, to be honest. I am genuinely curious here: would be also have Bicycling in Mexico or Jogging in France? The closest parallel I can find is Skateboarding in China which I think is problematic and full of original research. I'm open minded, but not convinced that the many thousands of "sport" in "country" articles would be so obviously notable. Perhaps the unusual exception, but not all and not just because there are some articles that talk about the topic in a general way. At this point, I'm thinking this should be part of some other article (general interest sports in India type article) and not stand alone. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 11:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Fair point. I've nothing against a merge to Sport in India, which I think is the most obvious target for a redirect. Yunshui  雲 水 11:56, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Don't judge the notability of the topic by the current state of the article -- Table tennis and Handball are quite big and I'm sure there are more sources, just no Wikipedia editor is interested in them. I have no opinion on Roller sport though. — Spaceman Spiff 15:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Not to exaggerate too much, but Beer pong is also very popular, but we don't have an article on it for each country. "Popular" doesn't automatically mean an activity is notable enough for a separate article when differentiated indiscriminately by national borders. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 15:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Sigh, did I say popular? Just see Kamlesh Mehta (one example) to see why Table Tennis in India can be expanded properly or Dipika Pallikal for squash. — Spaceman Spiff 16:02, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
But you are missing the point. By that logic every "sport" in "country" should exist. It doesn't address why any "sport" in "country" is actually notable. Having a notable person play the sport isn't enough. That doesn't establish notability, only that it exists, as that notability isn't inherited. Notability isn't just references that talk about the subject, but why it is important (notable) in that particular country. Importance, not existence. Otherwise, it is a rats nest of unmaintained articles on sports that simply exist in various geographical areas. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 16:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
WP:NOTE says: "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity", so the criteria for a standalone article is neither importance, nor existence; it's the General Notability Guideline. This means that every "sport" in "country" article should not exist, but every "sport" in "country" that fulfils the GNG can have an article. The Discoverer ( talk) 16:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You're talking yourself into a circle. That is my point. Having a few articles that talk about a sport within a country isn't enough to pass GNG. Some examples are obvious, like baseball, NFL football and basketball in the US, football and cricket in India (and the UK of course). This isn't at that level, not even in the grey area. It is simply a sport that is played in that country and has a couple of articles mentioning it. So what. That isn't enough to meet the spirit or letter of GNG. And the key word in your reply is "necessarily". Just using common sense, a good start is "is that sport shown on national TV in that country?" or even the low, low bar of "is that sport taught in schools?". WHAT makes this notable? It surely isn't the few references that just talk about how skating EXISTS. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 17:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
( edit conflict)No Dennis, you are missing the point, I've shown why a particular sport is notable in a particular region/country. At the risk of OSE, in what way is this any different from Association football in Guadeloupe or Association football in the Turks and Caicos Islands or Bodybuilding in Australia. There are some topics that have significant coverage in reliable sources, thereby they are notable. — Spaceman Spiff 17:29, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You haven't shown sources that prove GNG, they are just talking about the activity of "skating, specifically in India". I can find lots of course that talk about beer pong here in the US, but that doesn't prove Beer pong in the United States is a notable topic. Anyway, I will let the closer decide, this is just going in circles. You think articles talking about skating == notability, I think you are misreading WP:GNG. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 17:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Nope, you are clearly misreading things here -- I have never argued for keeping this article anywhere. I'm just against you lumping other articles in without doing a proper check on those subjects -- you seem to think that something passes notability only if it is the most popular sport, but that's simply not the case, we go by what sources say, plain and simple. — Spaceman Spiff 17:52, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: As Dennis Brown says, we need to see if the sport S is really notable in a country C and then worth creating an article about. In this case, I won't consider roller sports any notable in India. Of course, this is a comparative thing. Cricket in India or Football in India are more appropriate topics for Indian sports. I am incrementalist at many times and then one can argue that indiscriminate information of rollers in India is available and a long article is already created. And that's when we have to be comparative; compare roller sports in other countries and compare other sports in India. As current state of article goes, it has no references or external links to maybe some book which deals with the topic or maybe even an editorial on the sport's status in India. It just mentions notable players and venues. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 05:08, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply

    Yes, if the topic is notable, but not just because it is too large. If the topic isn't notable (roller sports, for example), then the decision to include or not into the large article should not be decided here at AFD, but instead on the talk page of the larger article. The two bronze medal winners have their own articles, which is enough to satisfy WP:PRESERVE. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 03:18, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge, to Sport in India, and move on to another such article to merge ( Squash in India, Korfball in India, Handball in India, etc.). (Do similar with that Skateboarding in China mess, too). Even after "significant expansion" since the start of this AfD, there's not enough material here for a content fork like this. See WP:SUMMARY. This entire stub's real content could be compressed to a single paragraph there, which is generally what a summary article like "Sport in India" should have on each entry to begin with, whether or not there are {{ main}} articles for them. There shouldn't be a main article for a separate sport in India unless (as with, say, Cricket in India) its entry at that summary article is over-long. The "Sport in India" article itself, as a whole, is intended to be long, by its very nature as a summary listing. We do not have or need a separate "Sport-name-here in Country-name-here" article for every imaginable combination. There are far too many such pseudo-articles already (Australia is a particular mess, with topics further forked to "Women in Sport-name-here in Australia" articles filled with fluff citations to passing mentions of non-notable competitions and competitors.) PS: "Merging may degrade the recognition of this sport" is a non-argument, per WP:ADVOCACY: Wikipedia's job is encyclopedically cataloguing things that the sources in the real world tell us are notable, not trying to promote topics to greater heights of notability by ginning up articles to advance their "recognition".  —  SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  10:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Original research, fails WP:GNG. Pulling together ideas under a term more often used in multiple fields and in multiple ways not at all covered by the article (i.e. appears to be someone's pet term). Sources are insufficient but I'd also argue that even if a few more sources turn up the concept is insufficiently different from technological determinism to merit a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites talk |  01:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Those two may be related, but I'd be skeptical: they're also commonly invented terms in academia, as is "inevitability thesis". Scholar.google.com shows these terms are used by dozens of people, sometimes with their name attached like "Ash's inevitability theorem" or "Bachman's inevitability theorem", to refer to different ideas.

  • Redirect to The Road to Serfdom. The inevitability thesis is something associated with F. Hayek in his book The Road to Serfdom. The thesis is that any amount of central government control inevitably leads totalitarianism, i.e., a road to serfdom. The paper Hayek, Samuelson, and the logic of the mixed economy? is a secondary RS that discusses his thesis and and its reception. I was unable to find much evidence that the term is used widely with respect to technology. Of course, the rhetoric of inevitability is a much used rhetorical device to convince someone of a political position or future outcome. I agree that the article as it stands is OR. This topic is best redirected to the use that has some coverage. -- Mark viking ( talk) 19:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, do not redirect. [See new position below] There are dozens of different inevitability theses mentioned in scholarly journals, and it's difficult to locate sources on this one without rudimentary information about its origins, like who came up with it, when and where it was first written about, etc. The Wikipedia article's three cited sources do not seem to mention the term at all, from what I can tell. I'm opposed to redirecting to The Road to Serfdom; while other sources have used the term in discussing the book, the book itself doesn't seem to mention the term at all, and the Wikipedia article on the book doesn't use the term. Agyle ( talk) 09:55, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge lede to Daniel Chandler and redirect there. After further research, I'm fairly certain the "inevitability thesis" as defined (i.e. "once a technology is introduced into a culture...what follows is inevitable development of that technology") was first published by User:Bacab in this article in 2007, and spread wildly since then, generally attributed to Daniel Chandler's 1995 lecture notes which User:Bacab cited in this article. It's a catchy term with a quotable definition. Chandler apparently never used the term, or stated anything close to the thesis' wording, but many bloggers, students, lecturers and scholars now discuss "Chandler's inevitability thesis" at length. I cited three independently-published reliable sources in the article, which are based on the article, but only the 2008 source discusses the topic at length, which is why I favor merging over keeping. The sources are wrong, but Wikipedia requires Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Agyle ( talk) 06:40, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Merge may be appropriate, but while the present text may primarily be about Chandler's idea, there appear to be other "inevitability theses" with similar if not greater visibility out there (like Hayek's, but it's not clear to me that any one is most prominent). So I'd hesitate to say redirect. I suppose if we find it's primarily Chandler and Hayek it could be handled by a redirect template on whichever it redirects to. --— Rhododendrites talk |  12:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • This is an instance were Wikipedia practice conforms with common usage. Whether Chandler called it the inevitability thesis or even invented it is irrelevant. See List of misnamed theorems: if we refused to use names on that basis we'd have almost no names for anything. (I'm wondering if a disambiguation page might be the best solution, but not sure.) -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 14:54, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Disambiguation would certainly be needed if there were multiple articles covering different inevitability theses, for example if someone writes an article on Hayek's inevitability thesis or discusses it in the article on Hayek. Last I checked, only Bacab's ("Chandler's") inevitability thesis was covered in Wikipedia, which is why I currently favor redirection to Chandler, if the article is merged there.

The suggestion seems to be that the subject is not important. This pages are about the committees who develop important standards within the ISO organization. The standards deal with terminology, language resources, translating and interpreting. If there is something which should be added please suggest this. I am new to Wikipedia and am happy to take advice on improving this page. However, it is important. Peterrey ( talk) 06:07, 27 June 2014 (UTC)peterrey Peter Reynolds. reply

This was already deleted twice as a BLP PROD and once more as a hoax (though in hindsight it probably wasn't that obvious). Sifting through Google results for an hour reveals zero mentions, in Thai or English, associating this name with any of the clubs he is claimed to have played for, except for non-reliable name-aggregating websites.

Multiple issues with this article (neutrality, lack of notability, misleading section about "undesired installations" written in the most Wajam-favorable viewpoint possible).

Combined with the fact that representatives of the company regularly revert or change edits, either openly or via anonymous IP access from the Montreal area (where the company is based), and there are strong indications that this page is ripe for deletion. If an article is kept, it needs to be rewritten from a much more neutral viewpoint, with a reasonable amount of emphasis on the fact that this company's software is mainly installed on end user machines without their knowledge or consent.

  • either keep or salt. I came across the page and found it useful when I got hit with a stealth install of Wajam. So I found the page useful, but I'm no stranger to AfD and know that is not a valid keep argument. And I know it'll be a pain to admin if you keep it, since the company has been very persistent in interfering with this article. So if you guys decide to delete, I'm okay with that, but I'd strongly suggest a salt to ensure it doesn't come back as corporate spam again.

  • Delete-- After a review of this article; searching through their references and looking at the magnitude of information that continually refers to this companies product as Malware, I find it hard for us to be able to keep this article in a place of WP:Neutrality. Seems that the argument that has been going on for some years now has created a wikipedia ghost (The subject themselves) that comes out to scare editors away should they try to make constructive contributions to the article. It is apparent that we have an blatant WP:COI when the company or its representatives are reverting things to paint the company in a better light despite the overwhelming evidence that the article is clearly WP:Spam. However, I will state for the record that the powers at be here in the WP:AfD may want to keep the article and WP:Salt it so the company or it's representatives cannot edit it. The reason for my statement is that with as many complaints that exist, this article could help someone to steer clear or uninstall this unwanted product should they come in contact with it. I did not vote to keep the article using that stance because I understand that wikipedia is not here to be a "how to" book, but rather to offer encyclopedic information on the company. Yet, good, bad or indifferent it is obvious that this article has issues that are not going to end should we allow the article to remain without some form of intervention by a diligent wikipedia administrator!-- Canyouhearmenow 12:12, 10 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Does not meet notability guideline, appears to be a neologism or translated foreign word not used in English. A bit weird because the previous AfD result was "delete"? Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 10:14, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The problem may be with the fact that it was retained. I have to say I have never heard of it, and military stuff in Australia, UK and NATO has been my life for thirty years. In a literal respect, it (sort of) makes sense, ie cold weapon/hot weapon, but it just has no currency in English. Perhaps it equates to an improvised weapon, or melee weapon? It definitely shouldn't be here as an article title. Perhaps as a soft redirect, as you say, but someone with a tenuous grasp of English will surely make it an article again soon. The reason I came to it was that it was used in a translated quote, and when I challenged it, the editor concerned linked to this article. It just doesn't exist. Regards, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 10:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • As I said above, "next to no currency" in English may be more accurate. A quick internet search gave 3 academic works from a 12 year time span in a matter of minutes; there may be more. The term white arm may have more currency. Move to wiktionary, with a soft redirect here (we can protect it if need be). —  Crisco 1492 ( talk) 11:07, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:PORNBIO, she has won 1 minor, obscure, award, and her movies aren't very groundbreaking themselves. There have been many transgender movies before them.

"the sources are blogs, obscure magazines, and self-published sources": Can you clarify? I admit Original Plumbing is an obscure magazine, but are you saying the Daily Xtra is a blog and The Feminist Press is a vanity press?-- Brainy J ~✿~ ( talk) 16:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
I thought the Daily Xtra was some sort of blog type site, but it's actually a glossy magazine, which usually precludes it from WP:RS, and Original Plumbing doesn't seem very reliable either, as another glossy magazine with fake penises featured prominently on the cover (for transexual women-to-men who need prosthetics). Original Plumbing also has this article, in which the author did not capitalize his own name. The Feminist Press is some sort of publishing department at the "city university of New York", which seems vary vague as to whether it is in New York City or some other city like Buffalo. I like to point to examples of the content, however, when saying that something is not WP:RS. Such as this excerpt, which changes the text orientation on every page, and long run on sentences about feminism related topics. The writer also fails to capitalize the first word of the sentence, "I". Novato 123chess456 ( talk) 17:29, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
CUNY is in New York City, as clearly stated on its Wikipedia page. But the "vagueness" of the location really shouldn't be relevant to whether a book published there is reliable. The text's orientation is not changed at all in the excerpt of King Kong Theory you linked. It's the alignment. At any rate that is a translation of a French book originally published by another publisher so I'm not sure if that's relevant here...
"Fake penises featured prominently on the cover" of Original Plumbing??? Not sure where you got that idea...-- Brainy J ~✿~ ( talk) 21:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You have also failed to address the key point I've raised, that none of the sources cover the subject of the article in-depth, are not affiliated, and pass WP:RS, the feminist book contains ten pages written by the subject of this article, obviously it's an affiliated source, and doesn't cover Hill-Meyer in any other section of the book. The Daily Xtra (NSFW) is a glossy magazine, and the one article it has on Hill-Meyer only covers her pornographic aspect of her career. Original plumbing (actual porn in the link) contains an interview with Tobi Hill-Meyer about her porn life. According to WP:PORNBIO, the guidelines for notability as a pornographic actor are either
  1. Winning multiple industry awards. The feminist porn awards are not "industry" awards, they are fringe to most of the pornography world
  2. Starring in a revolutionary film in the pornography genre. There are a lot of other transexual porn performers before her.
  3. Coverage in multiple, mainstream, sources. Obscure transexual magazines and feminist publishing companies do not count as mainstream media, and therefore, she doesn't seem to be very notable according to WP:PORNBIO.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 123chess456 ( talk • contribs)

Non notable; the mayor of Shreveport, is a notable position, but not the other members of the city government. The refs are insubstantial--and local. DGG ( talk ) 08:56, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Reasons for notability: 20-year sheriff and former president of National Sheriff's Assn. Last elected citywide commissioner of public works in Shreveport. Until 1979, Shreveport had a five-member "executive", with the mayor being the "commissioner of administration" and equal to the other four council members, called "commissioners" over public works, public safety, finance, and public utilities. The commissioners were "executives" over their departments and "legislators" on the city council as a whole, were a 3-2 vote was needed to pass measures. Many commissioners served for decades and became powerful in their cities. This kind of arrangement was born in the aftermath of the Galveston tidal wave of 1900 as an "emergency" measure. Instead, it was commonly used in the Southeast after 1901. The commission form of government was dropped largely in the South in the 1970s under "one man, one vote" decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court because there were no single-member districts; all commissioners ran at-large. The commission government is still used in a few cities, the largest being in Portland, Oregon. Billy Hathorn ( talk) 15:51, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
None of those constitute substantive claims of notability under Wikipedia rules — we're not, as a rule, interested in delving too deeply into coverage of the municipal level of politics. We permit articles about mayors in cities the size of Shreveport, certainly, but a city has to have international "world city" fame, with a population in the millions, before we're interested in its individual city councillors, commissioners, or sheriffs. You're more than welcome to start your own Shreveportpedia if it's that important to you to write about people of exclusively local-to-Shreveport significance, but Wikipedia requires some evidence that he could be of interest to a national or international readership.

  • Delete. No strong claim of notability that would get him past WP:POLITICIAN, and the sourcing depends a bit too much on primary and unreliable sources for comfort. Only three sources here actually pass muster as valid sourcing for an article — and one of those (citation #17) contains only a single cursory mention of his name without actually being substantively about him as such, while the other two (citations #4 and 5) are missing the actual article titles and hence aren't cited properly enough to stand as valid sourcing. I don't see any other sources that cut it; even the two HighBeam citations are actually from a non-notable trade magazine. Bearcat ( talk) 21:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply

If the information is accurate and can be reliably sourced, please feel free to readd it, but I see a significant BLP issue in including such information based on machine translated articles. Kevin Gorman ( talk) 01:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply
I revamped the article before, and would not have added the transgender information if I felt it was not valid. But to be safe, we can exclude this information, but we must keep the references; please do not delete references particularly when an article is up for deletion.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 03:32, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Though I don't intend to bother deleting the references, it does make the article a little bit silly to stack eight references for the one initial claim. If you'd like to use references to argue that someone meets the GNG, it's perfectly fine just to include them in the AfD discussion - it doesn't harm the strength of the keep claim for the references not to be included in the article at the time a keep vote is made. What matters is the existence of references far more than whether or not they are included in the article during an AfD - and what is assessed by a closing admin will be the quality of the arguments in the AfD discussion far more than the current state of the article. Please do not try to include potentially contentious information based on a machine translated version of an article that was originally written in a language you do not speak on this article or elsewhere though; machine translations can and frequently do result in serious ambiguities or misunderstandings of the originally cited sources, and aren't appropriate to use in a BLP for any claim that is possibly remotely controversial or contentious. Best, Kevin Gorman ( talk) 04:04, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Thank you for explaining; I somewhat agree about not using google translate, yes there can be inaccuracies, but my sense was from revamping the article, examining sources, that the overall picture of a transgendered person was correct. About piling more references into the article as opposed to merely listing them in the AfD debate -- from my experience, my sense is that many closing admins do not slog through much of the AfD debate, but rather, go straight to the article, assess the references for themselves, and then decide. When this happens, it is highly important to have the references within the article itself. Imagine the article is like a person being sent to the guillotine, and the references are like letters from well-wishers, trying to persuade the judges to spare the person; shouldn't eight references be preferred to three? We can even try an experiment; if the closing admin actually reads this comment, could he or she mention the word Betelgeuse in the closing summary?-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 10:35, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I too am dealing with automated translation, but as I dig through source after source after source, some of those appear to be significant coverage in reliable (for entertainment figures) sources providing reliable coverage. I think it's fair to exercise caution with the claims regarding the subject being trans, even I suspect the claim is almost certainly accurate based on what I've read through translation in Greek *and* French sources, and the implications of [82], and the direct transliteration of mention of her participation in a pride parade sourced at [83] saying, in part, "τρανσέξουαλ ηθοποιός Μίνα Ορφανού", my own knowledge of the Greek alphabet makes τρανσέξουαλ being directly translated as transgender as well as being a clear cognate (tau = t, rho = r, etc.), and ηθοποιός meaning actress according to my dictionary, Wiktionary and Gtranslate. Finally, I would argue against "fixing" the overcitation--someone who can read Greek may be able to do a more reliable job of re-expanding the stub from provided sources, and there's not much text here for the overcitation to distract from. By rule, sure, we'd kill 'em, but as a practical matter, I think this is a fair case for leaving them be. -- j⚛e decker talk 04:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Wells, and slightly later people like Jesse Knight, were important in the development of Utah. They organized industry, farming and much more.

  • Hi, I read your notes anche I want you to know that Independent clinical trials has been created as part of a European project, which is lead by Mario Negri Institute (Italy). They analized the existing for a wide range of words and concepts and found some inaccuracies. At that point they have chosen not to correct the existing pages, but to create new pages, replicated in six European languages. And the are some copycaste because the authors of this page are the same for the web sites too. DeboraSerra ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:23, 24 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Just to provide you more detailed information about the background supporting the development of the new page “independent clinical trials”.It has been planned and written in the context of the FP7 project ECRAN focused on European independent clinical research (see the ECRAN website http://www.ecranproject.eu/en). The consortium of the ECRAN project which includes both institutional/academic partners and consumers’ and patients’ organizations (see the list of partners at http://www.ecranproject.eu/en/content/partners), has produced original materials (e.g. a film, two serious game, a tutorial and FAQs, see again the ECRAN website) under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License to communicate to the general public the key messages about clinical research. A strong effort was made to communicate the key messages in plain language and in the European languages (all materials are available in 6 languages, English French, Italian, German, Polish and Spanish, covering the 75% of European citizens and a selection in the 23 European languages). Among the materials, the production of wikipedia contents was a priority stated by the original protocol itself and described by a specific task of the project. The aim was provide materials simple and accurate in the same time. The ECRAN partners analyzed the existing Wikipedia pages in 6 languages (see the table) on several topics related to clinical trials and clinical research and concluded that dishomogeneity and Forse questo termine potrebbe essere sostituite da uncompleteness could represent an obstacle to properly transmit the key messages. Thus, they chose to develop a brand new page, using (they are aware) the material originally developed, whose authorship belongs to ECRAN. At the moment we are revising page, but, actually, we don’t think that it will be possible rewrite some contents. In fact the present texts are the results of a 2-year work of experts who weighted each term in order to make the information precise (in terms of methodology, statistics and/or bio-medicine) and easy to be understood. On the basis of the English version, the same contents in the other 5 languages will be uploaded on WIKI. Thus, any change in English has to be replicated, balancing again the accuracy and the user-friendship of the texts. We think that Wikipedia and the ECRAN project share the common mission to disseminate reliable multilingual information. Thus, we would like to have the opportunity to publish at least in part our material fully respecting Wikipedia rules.
Please, do you have any suggestion about the better solution (use of brackets, modality of quotation or whatever). Thanks so much Paola Mosconi, IRCCS Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, IRFMN, Italy, coordinator of the ECRAN project on behalf of the ECRAN partners — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeboraSerra ( talk • contribs) 08:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC) reply
DeboraSerra, some suggestions:
  • Before adding more information to the English Wikipedia, I would discuss your goals at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine, and ask for suggestions on how to proceed. That is a discussion page for medical-related articles on the English Wikipedia in general.
  • Information from ECRAN should not be used on Wikipedia as if it were free; ECRAN owns the copyright to the information and restricts its use through a Creative Commons license to limit its dissemination. Even ECRAN's text too closely, with minor word changes, could constitute a copyright violation by Wikipedia, and such information should be removed from Wikipedia.
  • Information in a Wikipedia article will be subject to changes by any Wikipedia editors, and different language Wikipedias are run independently, so maintaining consistency beyond its initial publication isn't possible.
  • The different language Wikipedias are run under different rules, procedures, and style guidelines. Don't assume something said in the English Wikipedia applies to the French Wikipedia.

I'd strongly oppose this. Bearian, Double blind test is a redirect to Blind experiment. Blind experiments can cover any scientific field, while clinical trials are medically-related experiments, which may or may not be blind experiments. If by "per WP:FORK" you mean create a new stand-alone article called "Double blind test" with information from this article and "Blind experiment", I think you're mixing together two very dissimilar topics. As a very basic example of a non-blind clinical trial, consider that of an artificial heart, where both doctors and patients are aware when artificial hearts are being tested.

This is not a Wikipedia article at all; more like a pamphlet "to communicate to the general public the key messages about clinical research". That's an admirable goal, and I'm sure there are many places on the internet where this kind of general-public, question-and-answer-format publication would be appropriate. But Wikipedia is not one of them; this is an encyclopedia. Also, as noted above, this article certainly appears to have been copied from somewhere else - and the authors appear to think they WP:OWN the page and can control its content, which is not how things work here. -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply

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 fact that the album charted is a reflection that it had significant sales in that category. #20 is better than never have entered the charts at all. That together with the independent verifiable reviews is enough to establish notability. Dan arndt ( talk) 12:22, 13 July 2014 (UTC) reply

What is "they?" The sources? They need to be reliable, not notable. There are two sources by different publications. The first, Cross Rhythms, you already accepted as notable. The second, CCM Magazine, has a write-up of equal length about the album. You objected to this source as unattributed, so I looked through the column, and found that the entire column is written by Christa Farris, though some of the segments in it have other authors. You also objected that the coverage in that write-up is not significant. But it is of about the same length as the Cross Rhythms source, which you already accepted. In addition to these to sources, there is another Cross Rhythms article which devotes at least a paragraph to the album.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 02:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
The sources need to be reliable. The sources need to show 1) significant coverage 2)from reliable 3) sources that are 4) independent of the subject. Even in those cases, it only presumed to confer notability if those are present. What's missing is significant coverage in multiple sources. I see only brief coverage.

In http://ht.salemweb.net/ccm/ccmmagazine/pdf/200406.pdf Four paragraphs. Second focuses on the church.

NN 16-store, 138,000 square ft., mall. In addition to it not being notable, the consensus, as reflected in the discussion at "Common Outcomes; Malls", is that we don't generally retain stand-alone articles of malls below 500K sq. ft. (some editors believe the cutoff is a higher square footage) – which this is clearly below. Topic fails GNG; as the coverage is local (see wp:AUD) and/or non-substantial. Epeefleche ( talk) 07:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The only potentially significant reference I see is the citation in the Haber book. Could somebody who has access to that please summarize what the book says about the mall? If this was some important test case, I would say it infers notability. If it's just some passing mention of a nothing-special contract dispute, not so much. Until we know what the book actually says, it's impossible to evaluate whether, and how much, it contributes to meeting WP:N. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Yup, in the first instance the case itself is not a secondary source, so it does not count towards notability. One would need substantial secondary source coverage.
And then, that would merely go to whether the case or the principle of the case was notable -- not whether one of the named litigants in the case is notable. There's no evidence of that either.
Finally, the case is about principles of contract law as applied to certain facts. Specifically (primarily): a) whether there was a binding contract between Mark's Work Wearhouse which was looking at granting a franchise to Messrs. Jennett and Slavik, once accepted by Parks West Mall; b) whether there was a basis for the trial judge to find, from the conduct of Jennett and Slavik, that they knew that the mall had accepted their offer; c) whether Marks induced Jennett and Slavik to breach the contract; d) whether Marks, if it did induce a breach of contract, was justified in doing so; and e) whether Marks owed Jennett and Slavik a duty of care in giving advice to them both as to opening a store and as to their position under the contract. The case is not even primarily about the mall, but about a franchisor and franchisees fighting about a possible lease at the mall.
And, as anyone who has studied caselaw knows, cases in the casebook method are used to demonstrate legal principles, and are included in law books because the opinions written in deciding them reflect principles of law; not because the cases impart notable information about the parties.

  • Weak keep – The access to newspaper sources from the late 80s and early 90s is difficult. I did find an article in the Edmonton Journal which is entirely about the mall and its construction, which in my view constitutes significant coverage, and it allowed me to expand the article. "Weak" because it is only the one source so far. Others I've found are just passing mentions in articles about events or crimes at the mall. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 18:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Redirect to Hinton, Alberta. As has been pointed out, getting online access to media sources from this mall's heyday can be difficult.

Article about a company which doesn't make an especially strong claim of notability per se; the most substantive claim here is the vague and unverifiable "a leading supplier". Not blatant enough an advertisement to warrant speedy under G11, but dancing perilously close to that line. The "references", further, are mostly to (a) primary sources such as the company's own press releases, (b) unreliable sources like non-notable blogs, or (c) blurbs in publications that would pass our rules if the articles were longer, but which are in reality far too brief to actually constitute substantive coverage of the company. Literally the only source that even approaches substantive coverage is #6 (SFGate), and that isn't enough to get a company over the notability bar if it's the only substantive source that can be provided. (In addition, there's a conflict of interest here, as a Google search reveals that the creator's username, User:Craigmclaughlin ex, matches the name of this company's CEO's husband ( "I met Maria Peevey (CEO of SimplyShe) and Craig McLaughlin (CEO of extractable.com) both of San Francisco, Ca., as they were planning their wedding at The Parker Palm Springs".) As always, I know that COI isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself if the article can be cleaned up with better sourcing, but it doesn't help the article's case if there are other valid reasons for deletion in addition to the COI alone. As always, I'm happy to withdraw this if the article can be salvaged with better sourcing, but it's not entitled to stick around in this form. Delete if improvement isn't forthcoming.

Looks like a copy of the given source without the coat of arms. The Banner  talk 21:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi

Well, yes I listed all clubs mentioned as classic by FIFA official website. I did it because i red about beeing a classic club in some wiki articles (like Club Atlético San Lorenzo article). So, I googled it to see what was it, then I created the article and linked to clubs considered classics by FIFA (I didn't finish with that). It's also similar to this article: /info/en/?search=FIFA_Player_of_the_Century which is pretty much a list too !

But if you think this is not worthy in wikipedia it's ok to me. I just wanted to add cool info.

Sorry for my english. User talk:Wikipediow 21:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

You should add independent sources as only they can determine the notability of this list. And you should try to fix the internal links as the article has 23 links to disambiguation pages, like the link to Ajax. The Banner  talk 21:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi again

I'm fixing internal links right now and I will look some info to add.

Give me some time before you decide to delete.

  • Keep - certainly the sourcing in the article could be improved, but my Lexis Nexis search shows notability (sorry about no links for easy reference). The chain has received quite a lot of press. Sure a good percentage is "local" in that it comes from Detroit, but coverage in large city newspapers (Detroit Free Press) is not usually what we think of when we say "local coverage". Non-local coverage includes profiles by Canadean, Zoom, and Lexis Nexis itself. The Toronto Star quoted National Coney Island as an authority on coney dogs and had a paragraph or two about the chain. USA Today listed it among the country's top airport food in 2009. CNN listed it as one of the 10 "airport restaurants that taste like home" in 2013. Several DFP stories featuring the chain have been picked up by affiliated papers nationally. -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 00:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Why the page should be deleted

Subject fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:ENT. Article fails WP:RS even after repeated attempts to find appropriate references. At best subject appears to be Wikipedia:Too_soon#Actors_and_actresses. The article appears to be an example of WP:PROMOTION with peacocks by people with clear WP:COI. During attempts to fix the article there were multiple sock-puppets banned for vandalizing, and an editor admitting to have been paid by someone with a probable WP:COI - [1].

  • Delete. There certainly are trace elements of notability, but I'm thinking this might be a case of having been created too soon. As the nominator notes, COI/promotional edits have also been a problem, which generally lead me to the conclusion that it's not ready to stand on its own two feet yet. Once there's more coverage in reliable sources, the article can be recreated. Right now, there isn't really much to say except that she appeared on a reality TV show. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 23:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment While there were a couple attempts to clean up the article since the nomination, none sufficiently address the issue of notability. The NY Times citation that was added is a page on the NY Times website that has the subject's name and little else (clicking biography there it even says "Gender Unknown") [2]... and may appear from an automated feed from a movie database... it is not a discussion about the subject... Hence I believe this should be Delete -- Jersey92 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:43, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Keep I came to this article through the RFC on the talk page, which is no long relevant. I arrived after the rewrite, but saw the remains of a multitude of unreliable and primary sources probably left over from the original. I went through and cut them back drastically. We have a pretty low notability bar for actors (and sportsman for that matter) and this, while not amazing, might be enough for her to scrape by. AIRcorn  (talk) 03:54, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment Wouldn't that be at best a WP:BLP1E? Wikipedia is not going to have an article for everyone who appeared on a reality show... -- Jersey92 ( talk) 05:12, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I would agree with you if she hadn't had other minor roles. Also point 2 of one event says "...is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" which is debatable given her career choice. It is a weak keep at the moment given the lack of quality secondary sources, so I might be convinced otherwise. As Ninja says there are traces of notability and I think the COI elements have been dealt with satisfactorily so I am leaning to giving it a chance. AIRcorn  (talk) 06:44, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I understand your point, but feel that what you are describing is pretty much WP:TOOSOON. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 14:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The subject has independent coverage from reliable sources with many television roles. Also, as AIRcorn points out that the COI elements have been dealt with satisfactorily; the same goes with the promotional issue because I don't find any promotional information on the subject’s article. A bunch of poor sources were removed by different editors; the good sources are kept; and the citation issues are fixed according to the edit history. The Rfc is no longer applicable. This article may need expansion on the content, but not deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) 15:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC) — Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. or Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Cristine nickol ( talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. reply

It is a discussion. Please produce and add to the article real WP:RS that show why the subject passes WP:NOTABILITY. In this subject's case that would likely mean WP:ENT.

Please stop attacking me by calling me names, sockpuppet and SPA, take back what you said about me, and give me an apology.

Thank you. -- Starshop72 ( talk) 17:44, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Noone is attacking you. Assuming good faith, however, does not mean ignoring an obvious pattern of sockpuppetry and SPAs in an AfD discussion and its associated article. Various accounts with these WP:COIs were even banned by administrators for vandalizing Wikipedia. Please see link above. If we assume good faith from every SPA and sockpuppet we will not have objective AfD discussions. As the nominator I want to make sure this discussion about the article is obective. If you want to fix the article please do so with real WP:RS as I discussed above. As I wrote above this is not a vote. If 100 SPAs and sockpuppets say Keep without providing proper reasons this article is still going to get deleted. The fact that so much problematic editing is going on also makes me believe that this article cannot stand on its own and should be deleted. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 20:18, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply

It's an album track that was sent out on promotional CDs to promote the album, and an album track that can be downloaded, just like every other album track, albeit in advance of the album in this case.

  • The issue isn't about text being copied from your website, the issue is about notability. Per WP:GNG topics must show "significant coverage" from reliable sources independent of the subject. Also, if you want to involve yourself in editing an article about yourself you should familiarize yourself with WP:AUTOBIO. Tchaliburton ( talk) 21:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Could just be a misunderstanding on her part. The article was also tagged for being copied from her website, so it's possible she thought that was the reason for the deletion notice. Regardless, Tchaliburton is correct, sources independent of the subject are needed to establish notability, and all I see is links to personal websites. Also, a google search is showing pretty much social networking and sites for purchasing music, nothing that can be used here to establish notability. Cmr08 ( talk) 23:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

This feels like more of a WP:BLP1E situation than a real long-term article on the company. As before, failed WP:ORG, WP:NOTNEWS among other issues. The last discussion was at the height of the controversy and I think with the passage of time, we can review things more clearly.

  • Comment: The company is only notable for that one notorious case, but generally people only remember the company rather than the case name. My take is to rename to the case name, with Kleargear redirected there. Zhanzhao ( talk) 02:25, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Rename/refactor to Palmer v. Kleargear.com or a similar title. Unless Wikipedia has started recognizing Corporate personhood (and if that's the case, I missed the memo.) WP:BLP1E is inapplicable. I think there's an excellent chance that Kleargear is only notable for the case, though, and given the case really the subject of the coverage, a rename is warranted. WP:NOTNEWS is interesting here, but the most relevant guidance is really at WP:EVENT. There, we do have some international coverage, so WP:GEOSCOPE is modestly satisfied, WP:DEPTH as well, there is modest WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, and given a possible appeal, it's difficult to estimate the chances of any possible WP:LASTING effect, some sort of precedent is plausible here given the novelty of the case, but far from assured. In short, we're left with a judgement call, and in view of those metrics, I lean toward retaining content per WP:PRESERVE, and titling it properly to correct issues of WP:UNDUE weight. If this is moved, I believe a redirect would be appropriate per usual practice. If there is a valid user for userfication, that would be my second choice in order to preserve content should an appeal to the Circuit Court happen. -- j⚛e decker talk 05:14, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and rename per Joe Decker. There's a lot here, though it's fairly recentist for my tastes, it's clearly notable. The WP:EVENT concern... meh... it's real, I'll grant that, but it's got the coverage to at least push it towards the "likely to be notable" side. That said, it was a default judgment, and any remaining contentious parts of the case will probably deal with boring, hashed-out civil procedure issues with no lasting effect. And really... even if we got a nice substantive decision on contract law, is it likely to do much other than discuss the enforceability of penalty clauses? But that's all speculation, and I could honestly be really wrong. In short, I think WP:GNG is met, and that's enough for me. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 08:33, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply

That said, Kleargear by itself doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, and I honestly think the legal case wouldn't, either. I think we should either delete it now until it becomes notable or, if we decide to keep, we should again keep with no prejudice against re-nominating after the actual case has finished unfolding.

It's had substantial coverage beyond the WP:NOTNEWS threshold in Business week, Techdirt, and non-local news providers (for example, Houston and US News and World Report), as well as the source cited by SBaker43, above.

    • Comment; the most important reasons to move the article, rather than delete it and recreate it with the new name (as championed by 5.104.108.125 and perhaps DiMaria999) are: 1) obvious waste of effort doing that. It's foolish to delete an article already written, only to re-write it trying to obtain the same content about the case; rather than pruning the existing article of bits that do not pertain to the case. 2) Doing so would violate WP:CC-BY-SA, which requires maintaining the list of contributors to the article.

I'm not convinced this meets our notability criteria. I've removed a lot of promotional and BLP stuff and only after doing that did I search for recent discussion of it. I can find very little to none in the last year, and I note that the funding is crowd-sourced. This article may have been created in order to aid that.

  • Selective merge to neuro-linguistic programming. Neuro-linguistic programming may be a pseudoscience but, like it or not, the amount of attention it has got in reliable sources over the past 40 years makes it a notable pseudoscience. That makes the claim in the article that its subject is one of the founders of NLP a definite assertion of notability which, as it is sourced to a volume co-edited by one of the generally-acknowledged founders of NLP, can be presumed verified. However, as that assertion is not elaborated in the article, it currently does no more than warrant a mention in neuro-linguistic programming, and needs that elaboration, reliably sourced from secondary sources, to establish notability for a stand-alone article.

Nominating for deletion. I believe this to be a vanity page for self-promotion of this blogger. His only possible claim to notability is a self-published book that was reviewed by his local hometown newspaper.

Per the notability guidelines for authors, an author is notable if:

  1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
  2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
  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.
  4. The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Certainly none of the preceding apply in this case. Snookyboo ( talk) 19:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, I was the person that compiled the article and as far as Bias is concerned I would be as happy to include all references the four mentioned in the article [22], [23], [24] & [25] and also any from opposing factions such as from The Truth magazine or from activistpost.com. If editors here are happy with the credibility of the organisations concerned and that they are not connected organisations then that sounds good. The main issue here is notability both of the people listed and that many of their quotes mentioned are frequently used time and time again. As far as the organisations that compiled the quotations I know that both the Population Institute Canada and Population Matters have large patrons boards that would be the envy of many research/advocacy groups who all have their own Wikipedia pages. PIC patrons PM patrons. They are notable organisations and I had hoped that the notability of the others would be shown by their content.
Admittedly there is a difficulty with the searchability of the title. Population concern advocates or whatever you want to call them don't have easy to use terminology like “environmentalist”. If anyone has views on a less cumbersome a name for the article that would be welcome. It is a notable topic with people on both sides of the argument compiling notable quotes from notable people.

  • Delete - Should we create "List of people who have expressed views relating to cats being a problem" next?, In all seriousness I'm failing to see the whole point of this article.... – Davey2010 • (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • A problem with cats is never be likely to drive people to starvation or to drive down water table levels to dangerous levels. Away from the world where some people have the fortune to have the spare time to edit Wikipedia others are increasingly pushed into struggle for survival lifestyles. They face unnecessary difficulties that, amongst other things, reduce their chances of education and betterment. Its fine if you do not think that the issue of population is important or that it has as little importance as an issue with cats. And perhaps that's where there is a difference. For me the notability thing is the lack of political attention that is given to the issue of population. Many senior scientists and leaders in their fields say that population is a centrally important issue for all our futures and yet so few senior political figures take on the issue as their responsibility. Peoples of various regions of the world are coming finding it increasingly hard to feed themselves while persisting with unsustainable birthrates that will quite likely end in famine or war. Please don't trivialise this with talk about cats. Gregkaye ( talk) 23:43, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Wow that's great news and I really wish it was true. Its astounding how little support the issue has got and how much resistance has been given in various areas of environmentalism. Cats have been mentioned twice here for no apparent reason. I know that you have heard of serious issues and population's one of them. And there is a notable gap between the conclusions on the topic of some of the worlds leading thinkers and our responses across our societies. Gregkaye ( talk) 00:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • That list is indeed within an article, where there is a lot more context for the list and, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS aside, people are often known for their environmentalist views while simply expressing a view is rarely notable. The subject of this AfD notes people like Confucious, whose contribution was "Excessive (population) growth may reduce output per worker, repress levels of living for the masses and engender strife," at a time when the world's population was 1/2000 of what it is now. The views expressed by those in this list need context, which the list doesn't provide. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 11:08, 5 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Non-notable middle school. The only notability is an award to a former principal, not to the school. Jacona ( talk) 15:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • I don't believe primary sources support notability -- we need secondary sources to satisfy GNG. And I don't at this point see the indicated awards as of themselves notable. And I don't believe every school that has a student participating in the spelling bee is ipso facto notable. Does the Keep !voter have other reasons for his !vote? Epeefleche ( talk) 23:29, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
For the bee: the students were semi-finalists in the 2012 & 2014 Scripps bees, and won a regional bee held by Miami Herald. Scripps isn't just a bee, it is the Super Bowl of bees and is broadcast live on ESPN and national television, and the student received national attention for her participation (she is the cover shot for many reports). Only 281 students out of 11 million participate in the Scripps bee annually. It should be worth noting, that accolades for the institution and its students are at least somewhat significant as the school is a Title 1 school serving at risk, low income and minority students. These students generally perform below national average or even grade level yet this school consistently ranks high. Here are a few mentions I dug up about the school. (also: I am not a "he") --  dsprc  [talk] 02:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply
You misread my comment. I didn't refer to it as "a bee." I referred to it as "the spelling bee." I'm not sure with whom you are disagreeing. My comment stands. And, btw -- the students who made the semi-finals aren't themselves eligible as a result of that (let alone their school).

The Sporting News should be a reliable source. In its obituary for Ufer, November 14, 1981. p. 59, it says that Ufer "held the world indoor mark for the quarter-mile in 1942." Cbl62 ( talk) 18:45, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Yeah, the 440 record was mentioned in the AP obituary, too, but we both know how legends grow and obituaries soften reality. Honorable mentions become All-Americans, etc.; I've seen a lot of "inflation" in sports-writing, and the writers rarely check original and/or official sources. I would trust the Big Ten and University of Michigan track & field media guides -- they should list all official records set at UM and Big Ten events. Also, if he set an official world record at the Big Ten Conference championships, wouldn't there be contemporary newspaper coverage? Perhaps even in national newspapers like The New York Times? In any event, the subject clearly satisfies WP:GNG based on the several feature articles you've already found. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 18:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
I can't find an on-line progression of the half-mile world record, but The Sporting News is pretty reliable -- not a local newspaper. Also, the United Press in this 1944 article said he remained at that time the world record holder in the 440. The Bentley Historical Library also says it here as does the Michiganensian here and The Ann Arbor News here. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:00, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Yeah, I just did a Google News archive search and I'm finding a hodge-podge of stuff from the 1940s, more or less contemporaneous. I found an interesting discussion on the Track & Field News blogsite on point here. We've got a record time (48.1), name of the previous record-holder, and the name of new record-holder who broke Ufer's time. Sounds pretty credible to me, especially when combined with the modern articles that were contemporary with his death. Part of the problem is that the International Olympics Committee and the world track body stopped recognizing non-metric records in the early 1900s, and treated American world records in non-metric distances as non-records. I tweaked the text. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 19:25, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Original research. Handwriting variation exists – see handwriting – but I see nothing in this article that supports that English handwriting varies regionally, in the text or the few references. The variations identified seem to be from foreign languages and archaic ones, so nothing to do with modern English handwriting. JohnBlackburne words deeds 12:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. If this had been created recently I would have been tempted to push it back to the creator and tell them to reference it properly. However, the article started in 2002 so maybe there is some agreement that the topic and content are suitable (though the referencing is not). I think the nominator has misunderstood the scope of the article. It is explicitly not restricted to English although it does only seem to deal with "modern". By "regional" is meant regions of the world. If the references are improved I think it will emerge that most of this is not original research. Thincat ( talk) 13:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I hadn't checked how old it is and that is quite old, back to when our notability standards were quite different. As for English/non-English of course other languages include variations but that's as they are other languages with more or fewer letters, accents, one or more distinct glyphs etc.. The article barely scratches the surface of this. But mostly the topic is entirely unsourced: the references aren't on regional handwriting variations at all but on general variation and the problems it can cause.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 14:45, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The article is not about variations in "English handwriting" as the nominator understood. It's about variations in the way people write Latin letters and Arabic numerals across various global regions, spanning different cultures and languages.

Search of subject's name in Google News turns up only three hits, all of them including only passing mentions of this person. I found no wider indication of notability elsewhere (the "enough sources" mentioned in the previous deletion nomination include a moment when she recognized someone else for getting into the Commonwealth Games, a comment she made on the need for a park upgrade, and a time when she got her car broken into-- none of which is about her or discusses her in any depth) .

I'd consider Brisbane to be large and internationally famous enough that its municipal councillors could qualify in principle for substantive and well-sourced articles, but this is neither of those things. And indeed, Cavarrone is correct that notability cannot be judged solely by Google News hits alone, as Google News aggregates only a few weeks worth of coverage and fails to locate coverage extending further back than that — so GN is a good tool for verifying the accuracy of a fresh claim of notability (e.g. a new article about a politician who just won an election that took place last week), but is not an infallible gauge for the notability of a politician who's been in office since 2008. So no prejudice against future recreation if somebody can create a good and properly sourced new version of an article about her, but this version as written is a delete due to its reliance on exclusively primary sources and lack of any real content more substantive than the fact that she exists. Bearcat ( talk) 18:48, 4 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The thing that's lacking, though, is reliable sourcing. Even a person who cleanly passes one of our inclusion guidelines is still not entitled to keep an unsourced or primary sourced article, and can still be deleted for failing to cite reliable source coverage — the only concession being that it can subsequently be recreated again if real sourcing shows up. It's not the mere assertion of notability that gets a person past one of our notability guidelines — it's the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to verify the assertion. Bearcat ( talk) 17:45, 12 July 2014 (UTC) reply
Carrite, Brisbane's a big city, but they also have a big city council, with 26 councilors. Considering WP:POLITICIAN, subject doesn't meet criteria #1 (international, national, or subnational (i.e. province-wide) office), #2 (local politician with significant press coverage), or #3 (meeting general notability criteria), so I'm not sure how you'd consider this part of the guideline a basis for keeping the article.

  • Delete. Did not find significant coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. I found several sources of one-sentence mentions of her presence at various meetings or events, photo captions in which she is mentioned, but I don't consider these to be significant coverage (e.g., 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8). This Courier Mail article provides a medium amount of coverage about projects on which Owen-Taylor commented. Agyle ( talk) 23:04, 12 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as per Carrite. There are numerous references in Australian newspapers, although I agree that each one is often only a sentence or two, or a quote here or there. Thing is, this lady is a very active politician, going everywhere, attending to all kinds of issues, active, busy, quoted on many topics, and maybe it is just that democracy is much more active in Australia than in the USA. She is clearly an important figure in Brisbane politics -- as pointed out a city of several million people, Australia's third largest, and most notably mentioned in the movie On the Beach as one of the last holdout cities before Melbourne succumbed to radiation, in case anybody saw that movie. She has many important tasks in Brisbane government: deputy council chair, deputy finance chairperson, economic development, and the Lord Mayor on multicultural affairs, whatever that is, but is sounds like they could give her a stallion to ride around for that one, plus costume, issuing edicts maybe even, issuing firebolts and epithets. Of the numerous references, several mention her in depth: this article is almost entirely about her, she is covered extensively in this article, she was a prime focus when angry residents protested her office, and she was featured prominently in this article. Taken together, in sum, with multiple in-depth independent references supplemented by numerous articles in which she is clearly active, quoted, working on many projects, etc, suggests she clearly meets the general notability guideline.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Tomwsulcer, I've checked out your links, my good man, and the problem with the articles that you mentioned-- and it is a common one on Wikipedia-- is that they aren't really about her, they are about a park or a ward or a project and though she may be quoted extensively in the article that doesn't really make the article about her (if we were discussing an article on the park or the ward, these articles would totally go towards verifying their notability, though!). That is why I don't think they add up to bona fide notability (at least, not yet, anyway! But perhaps soon...?) Just some thoughts. I hear Brisbane is a lovely city, though. KDS4444 Talk 04:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply
      • KDS4444, I see somewhat your point, in that the current eighteen references focus on what she does (her actions, policies, statements etc) rather than who she is (her beliefs, backstory, education etc). But my question is, can we separate what we do from who we are? Can we separate actions from identity? My sense is they are tightly intertwined, that what we do as humans and who we are as humans are inseparable, that we define ourselves by our actions. Consider American politician Barack Obama: there are numerous references about what he does in his biographical article. What does he do? Obama signs this bill, does this, signs this bill, or this, or won't fund this project, and so forth. Who is Obama? He is the person doing these things. These references are in Obama's wiki-article, rightly so, because they establish notability; if we remove these references on the basis that the focus of each one is not strictly about Obama and who he is, then the article is reduced to practically nothing. Similarly, by the numerous references about Owen-Taylor's actions as a leading politician in the 3rd largest Australian city, a picture emerges of who she is: builder of playgrounds, roads, waterways (which resulted in conflict with residents etc), pushing forward a $215 million restoration of Brisbane's city hall, etc. It may not seem important to people living in other countries, but it is important to Australians. Further, there are sixty references to Owen-Taylor in the Courier Mail but viewing them is blocked by a paywall; I was only able to view one.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 11:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply

They have 314 members and are a typical sheriff's association, ie: you have to be an employee of select departments of the county to be a members.

I agree the organization may or may not be the most notable, but none the less it is a viable part of that area, city or county. The fact that it is a professional association affiliated with the police would in my opinion make it somewhat notable. Maybe not grand, but notable.

  • Merge into United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan, 2012#District 6, as the person doesn't seem to be separately notable; he's just another candidate who lost against incumbent Fred Upton in one of Upton's numerous elections. It has 38 references, but it seems like the vast majority of the sources are of the kind that aren't worth much for notability: (1) pure self-sourced campaign advertising material and "biographies" from conflict-of-interest political organizations; (2) updates about polls from time to time during the election season, not biographical material; (3) announcements of campaign stops; (4) short mentions in multi-candidate summaries during campaign season. It appears that the user who was behind this non-neutral article didn't even believe in the article except as a temporary campaign tool: He simply abandoned Wikipedia when it appeared that the candidate wasn't going to win. The only valid edit since the 2012 election was an uninvolved user adding one line mentioning that this person lost. -- Closeapple ( talk) 02:18, 25 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to the article on the election (even if the standalone article were deleted outright, he'd still be at least mentioned in that one anyway, so a redirect is legitimate). Unelected candidates do not warrant coverage in Wikipedia just for being candidates; John Pack Lambert is exactly correct that having already established notability before becoming a candidate for Congress is the primary way in which an unsuccessful candidate for Congress can actually get over our notability bar.

  • Comment I haven't seen any other "Roller sport in..." articles to judge by, not sure how we judge GNG against this, to be honest. I am genuinely curious here: would be also have Bicycling in Mexico or Jogging in France? The closest parallel I can find is Skateboarding in China which I think is problematic and full of original research. I'm open minded, but not convinced that the many thousands of "sport" in "country" articles would be so obviously notable. Perhaps the unusual exception, but not all and not just because there are some articles that talk about the topic in a general way. At this point, I'm thinking this should be part of some other article (general interest sports in India type article) and not stand alone. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 11:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Not to exaggerate too much, but Beer pong is also very popular, but we don't have an article on it for each country.

Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 15:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Sigh, did I say popular? Just see Kamlesh Mehta (one example) to see why Table Tennis in India can be expanded properly or Dipika Pallikal for squash. — Spaceman Spiff 16:02, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
But you are missing the point. By that logic every "sport" in "country" should exist. It doesn't address why any "sport" in "country" is actually notable. Having a notable person play the sport isn't enough. That doesn't establish notability, only that it exists, as that notability isn't inherited. Notability isn't just references that talk about the subject, but why it is important (notable) in that particular country. Importance, not existence. Otherwise, it is a rats nest of unmaintained articles on sports that simply exist in various geographical areas. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 16:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
WP:NOTE says: "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity", so the criteria for a standalone article is neither importance, nor existence; it's the General Notability Guideline. This means that every "sport" in "country" article should not exist, but every "sport" in "country" that fulfils the GNG can have an article. The Discoverer ( talk) 16:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You're talking yourself into a circle. That is my point. Having a few articles that talk about a sport within a country isn't enough to pass GNG. Some examples are obvious, like baseball, NFL football and basketball in the US, football and cricket in India (and the UK of course). This isn't at that level, not even in the grey area. It is simply a sport that is played in that country and has a couple of articles mentioning it. So what. That isn't enough to meet the spirit or letter of GNG. And the key word in your reply is "necessarily". Just using common sense, a good start is "is that sport shown on national TV in that country?" or even the low, low bar of "is that sport taught in schools?". WHAT makes this notable? It surely isn't the few references that just talk about how skating EXISTS. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 17:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
( edit conflict)No Dennis, you are missing the point, I've shown why a particular sport is notable in a particular region/country. At the risk of OSE, in what way is this any different from Association football in Guadeloupe or Association football in the Turks and Caicos Islands or Bodybuilding in Australia. There are some topics that have significant coverage in reliable sources, thereby they are notable. — Spaceman Spiff 17:29, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You haven't shown sources that prove GNG, they are just talking about the activity of "skating, specifically in India". I can find lots of course that talk about beer pong here in the US, but that doesn't prove Beer pong in the United States is a notable topic. Anyway, I will let the closer decide, this is just going in circles. You think articles talking about skating == notability, I think you are misreading WP:GNG. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 17:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Nope, you are clearly misreading things here -- I have never argued for keeping this article anywhere. I'm just against you lumping other articles in without doing a proper check on those subjects -- you seem to think that something passes notability only if it is the most popular sport, but that's simply not the case, we go by what sources say, plain and simple. — Spaceman Spiff 17:52, 18 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: As Dennis Brown says, we need to see if the sport S is really notable in a country C and then worth creating an article about. In this case, I won't consider roller sports any notable in India. Of course, this is a comparative thing. Cricket in India or Football in India are more appropriate topics for Indian sports. I am incrementalist at many times and then one can argue that indiscriminate information of rollers in India is available and a long article is already created. And that's when we have to be comparative; compare roller sports in other countries and compare other sports in India. As current state of article goes, it has no references or external links to maybe some book which deals with the topic or maybe even an editorial on the sport's status in India. It just mentions notable players and venues. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 05:08, 19 June 2014 (UTC) reply
It has relisted twice and has 4 tiny paragraphs, so I don't think it is being expanded daily. Interesting isn't the same as notable, just as using the word "rollerblade" in an article isn't the same as significant coverage. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 08:50, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - The article was expanded after being nominated for deletion. If not independently notable, a merge to Sport in India would be a functional Alternative to deletion ( WP:ATD). The Sport in India article presently has almost nothing about roller sport in India except for one mention of roller skating. NorthAmerica 1000 07:13, 5 July 2014 (UTC) reply

    Yes, if the topic is notable, but not just because it is too large. If the topic isn't notable (roller sports, for example), then the decision to include or not into the large article should not be decided here at AFD, but instead on the talk page of the larger article. The two bronze medal winners have their own articles, which is enough to satisfy WP:PRESERVE. Dennis Brown |  2¢ |  WER 03:18, 6 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge, to Sport in India, and move on to another such article to merge ( Squash in India, Korfball in India, Handball in India, etc.). (Do similar with that Skateboarding in China mess, too). Even after "significant expansion" since the start of this AfD, there's not enough material here for a content fork like this. See WP:SUMMARY. This entire stub's real content could be compressed to a single paragraph there, which is generally what a summary article like "Sport in India" should have on each entry to begin with, whether or not there are {{ main}} articles for them. There shouldn't be a main article for a separate sport in India unless (as with, say, Cricket in India) its entry at that summary article is over-long. The "Sport in India" article itself, as a whole, is intended to be long, by its very nature as a summary listing. We do not have or need a separate "Sport-name-here in Country-name-here" article for every imaginable combination. There are far too many such pseudo-articles already (Australia is a particular mess, with topics further forked to "Women in Sport-name-here in Australia" articles filled with fluff citations to passing mentions of non-notable competitions and competitors.) PS: "Merging may degrade the recognition of this sport" is a non-argument, per WP:ADVOCACY: Wikipedia's job is encyclopedically cataloguing things that the sources in the real world tell us are notable, not trying to promote topics to greater heights of notability by ginning up articles to advance their "recognition".  —  SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  10:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Original research, fails WP:GNG. Pulling together ideas under a term more often used in multiple fields and in multiple ways not at all covered by the article (i.e. appears to be someone's pet term). Sources are insufficient but I'd also argue that even if a few more sources turn up the concept is insufficiently different from technological determinism to merit a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites talk |  01:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Those two may be related, but I'd be skeptical: they're also commonly invented terms in academia, as is "inevitability thesis". Scholar.google.com shows these terms are used by dozens of people, sometimes with their name attached like "Ash's inevitability theorem" or "Bachman's inevitability theorem", to refer to different ideas.

  • Redirect to The Road to Serfdom. The inevitability thesis is something associated with F. Hayek in his book The Road to Serfdom. The thesis is that any amount of central government control inevitably leads totalitarianism, i.e., a road to serfdom. The paper Hayek, Samuelson, and the logic of the mixed economy? is a secondary RS that discusses his thesis and and its reception. I was unable to find much evidence that the term is used widely with respect to technology. Of course, the rhetoric of inevitability is a much used rhetorical device to convince someone of a political position or future outcome. I agree that the article as it stands is OR. This topic is best redirected to the use that has some coverage. -- Mark viking ( talk) 19:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, do not redirect. [See new position below] There are dozens of different inevitability theses mentioned in scholarly journals, and it's difficult to locate sources on this one without rudimentary information about its origins, like who came up with it, when and where it was first written about, etc. The Wikipedia article's three cited sources do not seem to mention the term at all, from what I can tell. I'm opposed to redirecting to The Road to Serfdom; while other sources have used the term in discussing the book, the book itself doesn't seem to mention the term at all, and the Wikipedia article on the book doesn't use the term. Agyle ( talk) 09:55, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge lede to Daniel Chandler and redirect there. After further research, I'm fairly certain the "inevitability thesis" as defined (i.e. "once a technology is introduced into a culture...what follows is inevitable development of that technology") was first published by User:Bacab in this article in 2007, and spread wildly since then, generally attributed to Daniel Chandler's 1995 lecture notes which User:Bacab cited in this article. It's a catchy term with a quotable definition. Chandler apparently never used the term, or stated anything close to the thesis' wording, but many bloggers, students, lecturers and scholars now discuss "Chandler's inevitability thesis" at length. I cited three independently-published reliable sources in the article, which are based on the article, but only the 2008 source discusses the topic at length, which is why I favor merging over keeping. The sources are wrong, but Wikipedia requires Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Agyle ( talk) 06:40, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Merge may be appropriate, but while the present text may primarily be about Chandler's idea, there appear to be other "inevitability theses" with similar if not greater visibility out there (like Hayek's, but it's not clear to me that any one is most prominent). So I'd hesitate to say redirect. I suppose if we find it's primarily Chandler and Hayek it could be handled by a redirect template on whichever it redirects to. --— Rhododendrites talk |  12:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • This is an instance were Wikipedia practice conforms with common usage. Whether Chandler called it the inevitability thesis or even invented it is irrelevant. See List of misnamed theorems: if we refused to use names on that basis we'd have almost no names for anything. (I'm wondering if a disambiguation page might be the best solution, but not sure.) -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 14:54, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Disambiguation would certainly be needed if there were multiple articles covering different inevitability theses, for example if someone writes an article on Hayek's inevitability thesis or discusses it in the article on Hayek. Last I checked, only Bacab's ("Chandler's") inevitability thesis was covered in Wikipedia, which is why I currently favor redirection to Chandler, if the article is merged there.

This was already deleted twice as a BLP PROD and once more as a hoax (though in hindsight it probably wasn't that obvious). Sifting through Google results for an hour reveals zero mentions, in Thai or English, associating this name with any of the clubs he is claimed to have played for, except for non-reliable name-aggregating websites.

Multiple issues with this article (neutrality, lack of notability, misleading section about "undesired installations" written in the most Wajam-favorable viewpoint possible).

Combined with the fact that representatives of the company regularly revert or change edits, either openly or via anonymous IP access from the Montreal area (where the company is based), and there are strong indications that this page is ripe for deletion. If an article is kept, it needs to be rewritten from a much more neutral viewpoint, with a reasonable amount of emphasis on the fact that this company's software is mainly installed on end user machines without their knowledge or consent.

So I found the page useful, but I'm no stranger to AfD and know that is not a valid keep argument. And I know it'll be a pain to admin if you keep it, since the company has been very persistent in interfering with this article.

  • Delete-- After a review of this article; searching through their references and looking at the magnitude of information that continually refers to this companies product as Malware, I find it hard for us to be able to keep this article in a place of WP:Neutrality. Seems that the argument that has been going on for some years now has created a wikipedia ghost (The subject themselves) that comes out to scare editors away should they try to make constructive contributions to the article. It is apparent that we have an blatant WP:COI when the company or its representatives are reverting things to paint the company in a better light despite the overwhelming evidence that the article is clearly WP:Spam. However, I will state for the record that the powers at be here in the WP:AfD may want to keep the article and WP:Salt it so the company or it's representatives cannot edit it. The reason for my statement is that with as many complaints that exist, this article could help someone to steer clear or uninstall this unwanted product should they come in contact with it. I did not vote to keep the article using that stance because I understand that wikipedia is not here to be a "how to" book, but rather to offer encyclopedic information on the company. Yet, good, bad or indifferent it is obvious that this article has issues that are not going to end should we allow the article to remain without some form of intervention by a diligent wikipedia administrator!-- Canyouhearmenow 12:12, 10 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Does not meet notability guideline, appears to be a neologism or translated foreign word not used in English. A bit weird because the previous AfD result was "delete"? Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 10:14, 14 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The problem may be with the fact that it was retained. I have to say I have never heard of it, and military stuff in Australia, UK and NATO has been my life for thirty years. In a literal respect, it (sort of) makes sense, ie cold weapon/hot weapon, but it just has no currency in English. Perhaps it equates to an improvised weapon, or melee weapon? It definitely shouldn't be here as an article title. Perhaps as a soft redirect, as you say, but someone with a tenuous grasp of English will surely make it an article again soon. The reason I came to it was that it was used in a translated quote, and when I challenged it, the editor concerned linked to this article. It just doesn't exist.

  • As I said above, "next to no currency" in English may be more accurate. A quick internet search gave 3 academic works from a 12 year time span in a matter of minutes; there may be more.

Fails WP:PORNBIO, she has won 1 minor, obscure, award, and her movies aren't very groundbreaking themselves. There have been many transgender movies before them.

"the sources are blogs, obscure magazines, and self-published sources": Can you clarify? I admit Original Plumbing is an obscure magazine, but are you saying the Daily Xtra is a blog and The Feminist Press is a vanity press?-- Brainy J ~✿~ ( talk) 16:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
I thought the Daily Xtra was some sort of blog type site, but it's actually a glossy magazine, which usually precludes it from WP:RS, and Original Plumbing doesn't seem very reliable either, as another glossy magazine with fake penises featured prominently on the cover (for transexual women-to-men who need prosthetics). Original Plumbing also has this article, in which the author did not capitalize his own name. The Feminist Press is some sort of publishing department at the "city university of New York", which seems vary vague as to whether it is in New York City or some other city like Buffalo. I like to point to examples of the content, however, when saying that something is not WP:RS. Such as this excerpt, which changes the text orientation on every page, and long run on sentences about feminism related topics. The writer also fails to capitalize the first word of the sentence, "I". Novato 123chess456 ( talk) 17:29, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
CUNY is in New York City, as clearly stated on its Wikipedia page. But the "vagueness" of the location really shouldn't be relevant to whether a book published there is reliable. The text's orientation is not changed at all in the excerpt of King Kong Theory you linked. It's the alignment. At any rate that is a translation of a French book originally published by another publisher so I'm not sure if that's relevant here...
"Fake penises featured prominently on the cover" of Original Plumbing??? Not sure where you got that idea...-- Brainy J ~✿~ ( talk) 21:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You have also failed to address the key point I've raised, that none of the sources cover the subject of the article in-depth, are not affiliated, and pass WP:RS, the feminist book contains ten pages written by the subject of this article, obviously it's an affiliated source, and doesn't cover Hill-Meyer in any other section of the book. The Daily Xtra (NSFW) is a glossy magazine, and the one article it has on Hill-Meyer only covers her pornographic aspect of her career. Original plumbing (actual porn in the link) contains an interview with Tobi Hill-Meyer about her porn life. According to WP:PORNBIO, the guidelines for notability as a pornographic actor are either
  1. Winning multiple industry awards. The feminist porn awards are not "industry" awards, they are fringe to most of the pornography world
  2. Starring in a revolutionary film in the pornography genre. There are a lot of other transexual porn performers before her.
  3. Coverage in multiple, mainstream, sources. Obscure transexual magazines and feminist publishing companies do not count as mainstream media, and therefore, she doesn't seem to be very notable according to WP:PORNBIO.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 123chess456 ( talk • contribs)

Non notable; the mayor of Shreveport, is a notable position, but not the other members of the city government. The refs are insubstantial--and local. DGG ( talk ) 08:56, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Reasons for notability: 20-year sheriff and former president of National Sheriff's Assn. Last elected citywide commissioner of public works in Shreveport. Until 1979, Shreveport had a five-member "executive", with the mayor being the "commissioner of administration" and equal to the other four council members, called "commissioners" over public works, public safety, finance, and public utilities. The commissioners were "executives" over their departments and "legislators" on the city council as a whole, were a 3-2 vote was needed to pass measures. Many commissioners served for decades and became powerful in their cities. This kind of arrangement was born in the aftermath of the Galveston tidal wave of 1900 as an "emergency" measure. Instead, it was commonly used in the Southeast after 1901. The commission form of government was dropped largely in the South in the 1970s under "one man, one vote" decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court because there were no single-member districts; all commissioners ran at-large. The commission government is still used in a few cities, the largest being in Portland, Oregon. Billy Hathorn ( talk) 15:51, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
None of those constitute substantive claims of notability under Wikipedia rules — we're not, as a rule, interested in delving too deeply into coverage of the municipal level of politics. We permit articles about mayors in cities the size of Shreveport, certainly, but a city has to have international "world city" fame, with a population in the millions, before we're interested in its individual city councillors, commissioners, or sheriffs. You're more than welcome to start your own Shreveportpedia if it's that important to you to write about people of exclusively local-to-Shreveport significance, but Wikipedia requires some evidence that he could be of interest to a national or international readership.

Only three sources here actually pass muster as valid sourcing for an article — and one of those (citation #17) contains only a single cursory mention of his name without actually being substantively about him as such, while the other two (citations #4 and 5) are missing the actual article titles and hence aren't cited properly enough to stand as valid sourcing.

I revamped the article before, and would not have added the transgender information if I felt it was not valid. But to be safe, we can exclude this information, but we must keep the references; please do not delete references particularly when an article is up for deletion.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 03:32, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Though I don't intend to bother deleting the references, it does make the article a little bit silly to stack eight references for the one initial claim. If you'd like to use references to argue that someone meets the GNG, it's perfectly fine just to include them in the AfD discussion - it doesn't harm the strength of the keep claim for the references not to be included in the article at the time a keep vote is made. What matters is the existence of references far more than whether or not they are included in the article during an AfD - and what is assessed by a closing admin will be the quality of the arguments in the AfD discussion far more than the current state of the article. Please do not try to include potentially contentious information based on a machine translated version of an article that was originally written in a language you do not speak on this article or elsewhere though; machine translations can and frequently do result in serious ambiguities or misunderstandings of the originally cited sources, and aren't appropriate to use in a BLP for any claim that is possibly remotely controversial or contentious. Best, Kevin Gorman ( talk) 04:04, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Thank you for explaining; I somewhat agree about not using google translate, yes there can be inaccuracies, but my sense was from revamping the article, examining sources, that the overall picture of a transgendered person was correct. About piling more references into the article as opposed to merely listing them in the AfD debate -- from my experience, my sense is that many closing admins do not slog through much of the AfD debate, but rather, go straight to the article, assess the references for themselves, and then decide.

  • Keep. After checking news results for her name in Greek (Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL), the coverage of Mina seems sufficient to presume notability. It would be good to get verification from someone who can read Greek, but sources like this and these seem legit enough. The claim of her being a trans woman also seems correct.

  • Keep I too am dealing with automated translation, but as I dig through source after source after source, some of those appear to be significant coverage in reliable (for entertainment figures) sources providing reliable coverage. I think it's fair to exercise caution with the claims regarding the subject being trans, even I suspect the claim is almost certainly accurate based on what I've read through translation in Greek *and* French sources, and the implications of [82], and the direct transliteration of mention of her participation in a pride parade sourced at [83] saying, in part, "τρανσέξουαλ ηθοποιός Μίνα Ορφανού", my own knowledge of the Greek alphabet makes τρανσέξουαλ being directly translated as transgender as well as being a clear cognate (tau = t, rho = r, etc.), and ηθοποιός meaning actress according to my dictionary, Wiktionary and Gtranslate. Finally, I would argue against "fixing" the overcitation--someone who can read Greek may be able to do a more reliable job of re-expanding the stub from provided sources, and there's not much text here for the overcitation to distract from. By rule, sure, we'd kill 'em, but as a practical matter, I think this is a fair case for leaving them be. -- j⚛e decker talk 04:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The assertions in the article are vague and indicate, at best, that he was a small-town mayor.

  • Delete By no stretch of the imagination was Jefferies "important" in the early development of Utah. What did he do? Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, Daniel H. Wells, and slightly later people like Jesse Knight, were important in the development of Utah. They organized industry, farming and much more. Even if Jefferies was a founder of Gransville, Grantsville has never been a city of a size to confer notability in that way. He was not notable.

  • Hi, I read your notes anche I want you to know that Independent clinical trials has been created as part of a European project, which is lead by Mario Negri Institute (Italy). They analized the existing for a wide range of words and concepts and found some inaccuracies. At that point they have chosen not to correct the existing pages, but to create new pages, replicated in six European languages. And the are some copycaste because the authors of this page are the same for the web sites too. DeboraSerra ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:23, 24 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Just to provide you more detailed information about the background supporting the development of the new page “independent clinical trials”.It has been planned and written in the context of the FP7 project ECRAN focused on European independent clinical research (see the ECRAN website http://www.ecranproject.eu/en). The consortium of the ECRAN project which includes both institutional/academic partners and consumers’ and patients’ organizations (see the list of partners at http://www.ecranproject.eu/en/content/partners), has produced original materials (e.g. a film, two serious game, a tutorial and FAQs, see again the ECRAN website) under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License to communicate to the general public the key messages about clinical research. A strong effort was made to communicate the key messages in plain language and in the European languages (all materials are available in 6 languages, English French, Italian, German, Polish and Spanish, covering the 75% of European citizens and a selection in the 23 European languages). Among the materials, the production of wikipedia contents was a priority stated by the original protocol itself and described by a specific task of the project. The aim was provide materials simple and accurate in the same time. The ECRAN partners analyzed the existing Wikipedia pages in 6 languages (see the table) on several topics related to clinical trials and clinical research and concluded that dishomogeneity and Forse questo termine potrebbe essere sostituite da uncompleteness could represent an obstacle to properly transmit the key messages. Thus, they chose to develop a brand new page, using (they are aware) the material originally developed, whose authorship belongs to ECRAN. At the moment we are revising page, but, actually, we don’t think that it will be possible rewrite some contents. In fact the present texts are the results of a 2-year work of experts who weighted each term in order to make the information precise (in terms of methodology, statistics and/or bio-medicine) and easy to be understood. On the basis of the English version, the same contents in the other 5 languages will be uploaded on WIKI. Thus, any change in English has to be replicated, balancing again the accuracy and the user-friendship of the texts. We think that Wikipedia and the ECRAN project share the common mission to disseminate reliable multilingual information. Thus, we would like to have the opportunity to publish at least in part our material fully respecting Wikipedia rules.
Please, do you have any suggestion about the better solution (use of brackets, modality of quotation or whatever). Thanks so much Paola Mosconi, IRCCS Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, IRFMN, Italy, coordinator of the ECRAN project on behalf of the ECRAN partners — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeboraSerra ( talk • contribs) 08:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC) reply
DeboraSerra, some suggestions:
  • Before adding more information to the English Wikipedia, I would discuss your goals at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine, and ask for suggestions on how to proceed. That is a discussion page for medical-related articles on the English Wikipedia in general.
  • Information from ECRAN should not be used on Wikipedia as if it were free; ECRAN owns the copyright to the information and restricts its use through a Creative Commons license to limit its dissemination. Even ECRAN's text too closely, with minor word changes, could constitute a copyright violation by Wikipedia, and such information should be removed from Wikipedia.
  • Information in a Wikipedia article will be subject to changes by any Wikipedia editors, and different language Wikipedias are run independently, so maintaining consistency beyond its initial publication isn't possible.
  • The different language Wikipedias are run under different rules, procedures, and style guidelines. Don't assume something said in the English Wikipedia applies to the French Wikipedia.

I'd strongly oppose this. Bearian, Double blind test is a redirect to Blind experiment. Blind experiments can cover any scientific field, while clinical trials are medically-related experiments, which may or may not be blind experiments. If by "per WP:FORK" you mean create a new stand-alone article called "Double blind test" with information from this article and "Blind experiment", I think you're mixing together two very dissimilar topics. As a very basic example of a non-blind clinical trial, consider that of an artificial heart, where both doctors and patients are aware when artificial hearts are being tested.

  • Delete We already have a proper encyclopedia article at Clinical trial. There is no content in this article which is not already covered better at Clinical trial, so there is no need for a merge or redirect. This is not a Wikipedia article at all; more like a pamphlet "to communicate to the general public the key messages about clinical research". That's an admirable goal, and I'm sure there are many places on the internet where this kind of general-public, question-and-answer-format publication would be appropriate. But Wikipedia is not one of them; this is an encyclopedia. Also, as noted above, this article certainly appears to have been copied from somewhere else - and the authors appear to think they WP:OWN the page and can control its content, which is not how things work here. -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply

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.

  • Comment On 19 June 2014 the nominator PRODed some 50+ Hillsong-related articles see 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. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 09:46, 24 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I want to note that with the sources I found, this article could easily be brought up to "start" class - I could create a brief background section, brief stylistic section, a critical reception section, and a brief legacy and influence section.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 14:54, 25 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Brought up to start class? They don't even make it past WP:N. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 01:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
What is "they?" The sources? They need to be reliable, not notable. There are two sources by different publications. The first, Cross Rhythms, you already accepted as notable. The second, CCM Magazine, has a write-up of equal length about the album. You objected to this source as unattributed, so I looked through the column, and found that the entire column is written by Christa Farris, though some of the segments in it have other authors. You also objected that the coverage in that write-up is not significant. But it is of about the same length as the Cross Rhythms source, which you already accepted. In addition to these to sources, there is another Cross Rhythms article which devotes at least a paragraph to the album.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 02:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
The sources need to be reliable. The sources need to show 1) significant coverage 2)from reliable 3) sources that are 4) independent of the subject. Even in those cases, it only presumed to confer notability if those are present. What's missing is significant coverage in multiple sources. I see only brief coverage. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 03:26, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
In http://ht.salemweb.net/ccm/ccmmagazine/pdf/200406.pdf Four paragraphs. Second focuses on the church. The other three as unremarkable and don't really expound on the album. http://ht.salemweb.net/ccm/ccmmagazine/pdf/200705.pdf discusses Daniel & Natasha Bedingfield not the album. It does mention the album though. How exactly is the coverage significant? Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
The second one is a very brief mention. If you don't think the first mention is significant, fine. I just disagree.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 12:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply
It's not really a grey area. If the closing admin wants to confirm, that would be a 3rd opinion. But it's still just one source and we need sources. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:45, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

I believe that you still don't know what does and does not constitute a RS and certainly not enough to establish notability, particularly when it comes to the subject of Hillsong recordings at any rate. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 01:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete Sorry, I forgot about this AfD, because there are so many HIllsong related ones. I did a more thorough search, and couldn't find anything, so I'm amending my vote to delete unless Shaidar cuebiyar magically appears with ARIA chart or certification info, as they have done on some other of these AfDs.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 00:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep per the review found by User:Shaidar cuebiyar. I suspect that there are more print reviews that have not been found. Walter Görlitz does not think that a one paragraph review is enough for notability. I think that this review, in combination with the review already in the article, is enough for notability.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 18:01, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

NN 16-store, 138,000 square ft., mall. In addition to it not being notable, the consensus, as reflected in the discussion at "Common Outcomes; Malls", is that we don't generally retain stand-alone articles of malls below 500K sq. ft. (some editors believe the cutoff is a higher square footage) – which this is clearly below. Topic fails GNG; as the coverage is local (see wp:AUD) and/or non-substantial. Epeefleche ( talk) 07:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The only potentially significant reference I see is the citation in the Haber book. Could somebody who has access to that please summarize what the book says about the mall? If this was some important test case, I would say it infers notability. If it's just some passing mention of a nothing-special contract dispute, not so much. Until we know what the book actually says, it's impossible to evaluate whether, and how much, it contributes to meeting WP:N. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:36, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Yup, in the first instance the case itself is not a secondary source, so it does not count towards notability. One would need substantial secondary source coverage.
And then, that would merely go to whether the case or the principle of the case was notable -- not whether one of the named litigants in the case is notable. There's no evidence of that either.
Finally, the case is about principles of contract law as applied to certain facts. Specifically (primarily): a) whether there was a binding contract between Mark's Work Wearhouse which was looking at granting a franchise to Messrs. Jennett and Slavik, once accepted by Parks West Mall; b) whether there was a basis for the trial judge to find, from the conduct of Jennett and Slavik, that they knew that the mall had accepted their offer; c) whether Marks induced Jennett and Slavik to breach the contract; d) whether Marks, if it did induce a breach of contract, was justified in doing so; and e) whether Marks owed Jennett and Slavik a duty of care in giving advice to them both as to opening a store and as to their position under the contract. The case is not even primarily about the mall, but about a franchisor and franchisees fighting about a possible lease at the mall.
And, as anyone who has studied caselaw knows, cases in the casebook method are used to demonstrate legal principles, and are included in law books because the opinions written in deciding them reflect principles of law; not because the cases impart notable information about the parties.

If merge, a short mention is all it needs, but I'm not even sure that's justified. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:12, 5 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep – The access to newspaper sources from the late 80s and early 90s is difficult. I did find an article in the Edmonton Journal which is entirely about the mall and its construction, which in my view constitutes significant coverage, and it allowed me to expand the article. "Weak" because it is only the one source so far. Others I've found are just passing mentions in articles about events or crimes at the mall. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 18:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. It's a mall. An ordinary one. It fails notability in every way. The argument that one article was written about its construction is overreaching, that certainly does not constitute significant coverage. Jacona ( talk) 16:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Redirect to Hinton, Alberta. As has been pointed out, getting online access to media sources from this mall's heyday can be difficult. Still, until such sources are presented I think a redirect, preserving the article's history, is the best way to go. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 02:46, 13 July 2014 (UTC). reply
  • Delete. Sixteen stores, that's all. Looks like the local news controversy was from local store owners objecting to the advantage that big competitors sometimes enjoy in favor over them. Not untypical. (The comments about the significance in case law are correct. Mention per se is mere mention. The case, hopefully, would have the same result in a mega-mall case or strip-mall case.) – S. Rich ( talk) 03:06, 14 July 2014 (UTC) reply
