No notability, and deceptive references. At first glance, this article looks like it refers to a notable musician - lots of reviews linked at the bottom, lots of interviews - and then you check them.

The reviews provided, while claiming to be reviews, actually aren't - if you follow them back to the source provided you'll see them all identified as press releases by the artist herself.

Then we have the interviews. 3 interviews by reliable, notable publications is certainly enough to cross the bar of notability. Unfortunately none are provided - Tribe of Noise is a community of musicians, and Rose was interviewed as a member of the group, by the group. Make A Star is a talent competition where she won, ah, $100, and was interviewed over this. The Hip Rock Magazine article link doesn't actually work, but even if it did, the magazine has only even existed for four months, and I can't see any evidence that it's a reliable or respected publication.

Outside of the provided sources, Rose has released one studio album (with six songs on it) that didn't chart, four singles (that also didn't chart), and hung around on youtube. There isn't any notability here that I can see. Ironholds ( talk) 23:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

The referencing for this article looks pretty impressive, but if you look closely you'll see the citations are all from (1) IMDB (2) self-published sources, or sources closely associated with Burns, and (3) yet more IMDB. I'm unable to find anything verifying the subject's notability - he's released several albums, all himself, and while there's a claim to a 1-year contract with Def Jam, the only citation provided is self-published (and since when do you need a contract to publish to iTunes?

Bottom line: not notable. Ironholds ( talk) 23:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Only college head coaches are deemed notable. Also, the tone and tense of this article is entirely inappropriate. We do not write about current events generally WP:NOTNEWS, and we certainly do not list the scheduled date of someone's funeral in the near future WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Other than clips pertaining to a local high school coach which you would expect to find on nearly any high school coach, and info on his high school career (neither of which would make him notable), there is not much to see on this guy. Being important locally, or even regionally, is not what makes notability. John from Idegon ( talk) 19:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply

    • Changed to Keep you know what? I'm ready to flip on this one. After reviewing my searches more, I am seeing a tremendous amount of coverage in sports-related websites on the subject--radio, TV, newspapers, and bloggers. While it seems that the bulk of that coverage is local or perhaps even "regional" (depending on your definition of "regional"), there is just so much of it that I think we are looking at a case of passing the general notability guideline.

  • Comment: More material has been added to the article, which has newspaper sources all over the state. Mr. Shows won two national championships in 1998 and 2008. Even if he wasn't a head coach at the two universities where he coached, he was successful there too.

Being mentioned as a contender (and not even winner or near-winner) in a single poll does not make a dress notable. There is not enough coverage of this dress to meet the WP:GNG.

  • Delete on all. All of them do not meet the WP:GNG. There is likely to be trivial mentions of virtually every dress worn at the Oscars. Perhaps the dresses merit a single line in the main pages of the actresses, but no merge is necessary for that. mikeman67 ( talk) 22:25, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all - most are stubs based on a single source (often gossip-mag-type sources) and don't come close to being notable in their own right. There are plenty of individual items of clothing that are notable but these aren't in that category, in my view. In many cases, the coverage relates to deportment, attitude and accessories as much as it relates to the dress itself. Stalwart 111 23:22, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. No reason this couldnt have a mention on Theron's page or Dior's page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bali88 ( talk • contribs)
  • Keep/Merge If the details of these particular dresses seem to slight, there are still alternatives to deletion. For example, it seems easy to find entire books about the fashion which is displayed at the Academy Awards: Made For Each Other: Fashion and the Academy Awards; Star style at the Academy Awards: a century of glamour. Perhaps we could have a general article about this fashion parade? Our editing policy indicates that we should try to make something of this. Andrew ( talk) 01:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
    • "Alternatives to deletion" has a limit, and isn't a backdoor around notability. I can't see what's in that book, but the promotional summary seems to indicate that it focuses on specific items of clothing, in which case it can be used as a source for those specific items of clothing. Its existence does not justify the coverage of dresses that aren't covered. If there are multiple sources that provide substantial coverage of one of these dresses in specific (not fashion of the red carpet, not fashion of that year, etc.), that dress meets the notability guideline and can have a stand-alone articles. If not, we can shuffle trivially covered items around in any number of article configurations, but it's still not going to get around the fact that they're trivially covered. For that reason, I disagree very strongly with your interpretation of the editing policy. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ  Wha? 05:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I think your interpretation is incorrect. Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone_lists says if the list subject is notable "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable" so it's clear you can combine non-notable articles into a list as long as the list is as a whole about a notable topic. "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been", so it would be ok to include dresses that weren't in the book. That would justify a merge though not a keep. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 10:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I think an article of the sort--given that it has reliable sources, could make a very good wikipedia article. :-) Bali88 ( talk) 22:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Reply The article is two sentences long. It cites no RS sources and makes no claim to notability. The only thing I see DGG doing in the edit history was taking down a premature PROD. The edit history doesn't suggest much has been done. I don't claim infallibility and I have missed things before, but I am not seeing anything here that rings the notability bell.

  • Redirect to David Berry (educator). It took a while and it certainly wasn't easy- I had to try to find one of his books and then work out from there since the name posed a huge problem. I also don't really see where he's done any of the typical author or educator type stuff such as creating a web page for himself. However I've found enough reviews for his work to where he'd justify an article on his own. On a side note, I have to note the irony that someone involved in teaching about media and journalism has such a low Internet profile. It's probably how he wants it, but still... a little funny.

  • I kind of named him "educator" since I was somewhat at a loss as to what to term him since he's a senior lecturer but also a writer and editor. Since all of his work is meant for the academic world (ie, textbooks), I figured that educator is sort of a good catch all name.

Keep. The band released on album worldwide via Listenable Records and Sumerian Records, two big labels for that genre. A second record is in work right now. The band toured Europe and North America several times, played on some bigger tours and festivals like Bonecrusher Fest (EU) and the Mayhem Festival (US/CA) and shared stage with acts like Dark Funeral, Carnifex, Asking Alexandria, Dance Gavin Dance, Veil of Maya and Born of Osiris to name few. To be lazy for looking for some better sources can´t be a significant reason for a deletion request. -- Goroth ( talk) 16:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Please read WP:BAND. In order to be Wikipedia notable, they have to have either two major-label albums (announcing a second album isn't the same as actually having one), significant coverage of their touring in professional music publications (not webzines or blogs, and more than a couple of sentences), two or more notable sites with full articles on the band specifically, or all of the above, if possible. Until you can come up with that, they are not notable and my vote is still delete.-- Invisiboy42293 ( talk) 16:38, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep while the nominator is right to note that a single Sumerian release, on its own, is not sufficient to hurdle WP:MUSIC, it is sufficient if that record hits the charts, as this one did. The sourcing for this article needs some cleanup, but that's not in and of itself reason to delete; one starting point could be this interview from Revolver Magazine.

  • Keep. Deathcore <yawn>, a genre already overrepresented because their audience is disproportionately plugged in. Never heard them, reviews don't tempt me.

Notability is determined on Wikipedia by multiple reliable sources. This is summarized at WP:42 or see WP:GNG. The sources are all about John Schlossberg.

  • Keep, Jesus third time you are nominating this page.

  • Delete and merge some basic info, such as his existence, to a notable family member's article - IMO in its present state, this article is an insult to all encyclopaedic writing.

  • Delete - I don't believe he's notable just based on the family connection alone - there are dozens of Kennedy grandchildren, and even though their names may be mentioned in passing in books or articles does not mean they merit their own article in an encyclopedia. Looking at the sources cited in the article, I'm not seeing the "major newspapers" someone else mentioned at all. He's written some op-eds for CNN and The New York Times, but I have several friends who have done the same, and that doesn't make you worthy of an encyclopedia article strictly based on that. The sources that are articles actually about him just appear to be mainly websites. He'll probably be notable as a journalist or politician at some point, but at this point, he is not. As you can see from this article, which is mostly about things he has done related to being a Kennedy grandchild, which would also apply to his dozens of cousins. - Gloriamarie ( talk) 19:02, 16 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No-one ever claimed he is notable for his family connections alone. He is notable for having multiple reliable sources with significant coverage, per WP:GNG. Those articles might exist only because he's the descendant of JFK, but the reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable. When you say "The sources that are articles actually about him just appear to be mainly websites." What does that mean? Of course the reliable sources are 'websites'.

The problem isn't reliability of sources or how amount of info they contain. The problem is they don't say how he is significant to society or anything.

I have a feeling you've misunderstood the notability policies. Notability/Significance/Impact takes precedence over coverage. You could have tons of information, and even that wouldn't mean anything if it didn't establish how the subject is notable or really popular or anything. While it is true that things with established notability need coverage, not all things with coverage are notable. I mean, I could easily talk to various family and friends of anybody to gain info on that person, but that doesn't automatically make him/her notable. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 07:17, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I'm concerned you have your own unique interpretation and have not read WP:GNG which says something is notable if it has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. It's telling that while I continually cite the rules and quote them, you do not. -- Green C 17:04, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete A person is not notable merely for being mentioned in sources. Rather, those sources must indicate the reason why the person is notable. Regarding Green C's citation of WP:GNG, I refer to the following portion of that very guideline:

"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have stand-alone article..."

So just because a person appears in sources doesn't mean that discussion is over. The context, or reason why they're being mentioned, is crucial. A person is not notable simply because they are related to someone notable, as indicated by WP:BLPFAMILY. If they were, then we'd have to give every single baby in the Kennedy family their own article the day they're born, which is obviously not the case. I'm not sure if this is explicitly spelled out by policy or guidelines, but it's certainly a implicit part of notability, and is underlined by an article's Lead section.

To give perhaps a more illustrative example, take me. I've been mentioned by name in at least four different reliable, secondary sources, all of which are independent of me, none of which are tabloids:

  • When I was a child, maybe four or five years old, I was photographed dozing off while sitting in a pile of autumn leaves. The photo appeared as a "Slice of Life" piece, complete with a caption that identified me by name, in a newspaper. I don't know if I can find an online version, but I know my mother kept a clipped copy.
  • When I was 16, Madonna and Matt Dillon filmed some of the scenes of their film Bloodhounds of Broadway at a location four blocks from my house, and I was quoted, by name in a local paper because I was hanging around that location looking to spot of glimpse of of one of them, and ended up saying hi to Dillon when he arrived at one point.
  • I was one of the Wikipedians quoted by Maura Ewing in an October 2012 article on Wikipedia that appeared on Salon.com.
  • A year ago, I helped set up a mini comics festival at our local community center, displayed some artwork there, and emceed one or two of the panels, and I was featured for this reason in at least two sources that reported on it ( [2] [3]).

By Green C's rationale, I'd be notable, because I was in three separate reliable sources. But am I?

Of course not.

These four events are completely unrelated, different events with no connection between them. The first two are extremely trivial, and even in the case of the fourth, in which I played a more central role, it was for a small, local festival that so far, we've only had one of, and which itself is not notable. I don't think helping to organize a small festival or even emceeing panels on it makes a person notable, even if two or three different sources mention this. The event itself would have be large enough to be notable before notability could be conferred on those who help set it up, and even then, not necessarily. John Schlossberg is not notable, for the simple reason that his article doesn't even provide a reason for which he is notable that satisfies Wikipedia's criteria. Nightscream ( talk) 01:14, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Again that is an appeal to the special notability guidelines, which require a reason for being notability. The general notability guidelines do not require a specific reason or personal accomplishment, just significant coverage in multiple reliable sources for whatever reason those sources want. -- Green C 01:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Agee with GreenC. User:Nightscream, if you can't see any difference between your life's notability and John's, then there's a problem. Of course being a family member of the US president doesn't guarantee you an article on Wikipedia, but considering both John's family connection as well as his relatively wide media coverage by various reliable and secondary sources, and the fact that he's a writer (which in most cases is notable just for itself), all together make the case for keeping this article a much stronger one than deleting it, per Wikipedia's policies.

No one (but yourself) says he is "default notable" - he is notable because of the existence of sources, as is described in WP:GNG. Those articles might exist only because he's the descendant of JFK, but the reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable. Those papers are not beholden to Wikipedia's rules in determining notability (!) but we are beholden to the papers when determining notability. -- Green C 08:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - since I've noticed this fact is ignored, please remember that John is also a writer, who (taken from the article) "writes for the Yale Daily News, Yale Herald,[7] and posts opinion pages for the New York Times.[8]".

This is an excellent point. Plus whose to say the non-profit he started, an ongoing and successful organization, wouldn't have garnered him attention regardless of who he is.

When a subject's perceived "notability" is evaluated, there is broad precedent in this project that if it stems from a famous relative, i.e. the subject would likely not receive the amount of coverage he/she does absent the famous relation, then that is not suited for a standalone article. Much the same as a WP:BLP1E (1E is not being argued her,e just used as a reference) case is considered; absent the event, is that person still notable? We have evaluated similar cases in the past such as Al Gore's son (it took awhile to stick), Michelle Bachmann's husband, and Meg Whitman's housekeeper.

I don't particularly care if the Schlossberg article is kept or tossed, but I'm not sure I agree with the logic that a person isn't notable if they're only known for being associated with someone who is notable. I realize that "other stuff exists" is not a good argument, but a good analogy: K Fed has an article and I think we can all agree that he fits in this category. Most folks would agree that he's notable. Why? Because people are talking about him and people want to read about him. It doesn't matter that he hasn't done a darn thing with his life except be a lazy gold digger and he wouldn't be notable if he hadn't married Britney Spears, the the fact of the matter is that he did and now he's famous. And he's notable because he's famous. I just don't think that we should give all that much thought to *how* someone came to be notable, just that they *are* notable. Basically because if we go by this logic, we could retrofit non-notability into pretty much everyone. This person wouldn't be notable if they hadn't been murdered or if they hadn't written this novel, we could apply that logic to everyone to question their notability. I realize I don't speak for everyone, but I think if there is a decent likelihood that a good amount of people will come on here looking for an article about a topic, we should consider that notability. :-) Bali88 ( talk) 23:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Upon reviewing Kevin Federline's page, saying he "hasn't done a darn thing with his life except be a lazy gold digger" is rather oversimplified. Yes, he is easily best known for his marriage to Britney Spears, but he had previously been noted as a backup dancer for Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Destiny's Child, Pink, and LFO. He is also noted as rapper. Just thought I should mention that. It is true that one's relationship (dating, marriage, engagement, etc.) can drastically increase the public attention he/she receives, though he/she is essentially not notable if not known for doing anything else. In the case of Jack Schlossberg here, absolutely nothing notable about him is known, not even being a writer for Yale and certainly not for being a student there.

  • No offense, but this strikes me as a fringe interpretation of WP:NOTINHERITED. When the reflected scrutiny the press gives a famous person doesn't find anything notable to comment on in the lives of their relatives, that is when NOTINHERITED offers useful advice. But when the reflected scrutiny does trigger coverage of new details -- unrelated to the famous person -- then the advice of NOTINHERITED no longer applies.

    There are some individuals, related to famous individuals in their industry, who chose to change their names, so they weren't riding on the coat-tails of their famous relatives. And I bet we have never heard of most of them, because they never did have press coverage to establish their own notability. By your argument would we have an article on Nicholas Cage, the nephew of famous director Francis Ford Coppola?

    Other 20 something youths are handsome; other 20 something youths go to Ivy League Universities; other 20 something youths write for their college newspapers, train to be EMTs, have harassing hoaxsters falsely "out" them as "gay"; some 20 something youths even give moving speeches to audiences full of somebodies -- without ever triggering coverage by reliable sources. And you know what? We don't make articles about those individuals. But an individual, like Schlossberg, who has considerable RS coverage -- we do cover those individuals -- their relationship with a famous relative has then become irrelevant. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep After reading the opinions above I feel I need to remind participants of their obligation to follow the recommendations of WP:BEFORE. The "delete" opinions seem to be a combination of lapses from WP:BEFORE, that fail to recognize that RS have covered Schlossberg in detail -- and classic lapses from the advice of WP:IDONTLIKEIT from participants whose comments boil down to they don't think Schlossberg should be notable, who have blithely ignored that widespread coverage of him in RS have made him notable whether they like it or not.

    Yes, we have the advice of WP:NOTINHERITED, in the WP:ATA essay, and 95+ percent of the relatives of notable people do turn out to be nobodies, who if they are mentioned in the press, have only a truly passing mention, of their relationship with the more famous relative, and say nothing about them. However, I suggest a fair reading of the press reporting on Schlossberg show he is one of the exceptions, one of the less than 5 percent of relatives of notable people who have had their own notability established.

It really surprises me that you should call BEFORE a mere "suggestions", and are not acknowledging that it is part of the instructions as to how and when to nominate articles for deletion.

If there was a consistent logic to how much attention we should pay to wikidocuments, I think BEFORE would trump the advice of an essay like ATA. However User:DGG has made an important point, paraphrasing from memory, that the wikipedia is a complex, evolving, political entity, and, in practice, one can see that there are times when the community places more confidence in some essays, which theoretically, could be just a fringe opinion, than in other wikidocuments that, theoretically, one would consider of higher precedence.

In this particular case I think following the instructions of BEFORE is important. In this particular case I also think ATA has some relevant advice, but I think it is the advice in its WP:IDONTLIKEIT section, not its NOTINHERITED section, as I think a fair reading of the references shows the reporters behind those RS have written about Schlossberg, in detail, about aspects of his life that are not mere reflections of the notability of his more famous relatives.

  • John Quincy Adams got plenty of notability outside of his famous father and the Adams family, being a well-known politician who served as President. Merging Jack Schlossberg to Kennedy family is fine with me, though he isn't really notable on his own since being a college student at Yale isn't noteworthy and niether is writing for its news team. If he becomes a more professional writer (not saying Yale papers lack credibility or anything, but they're not really professional), then it would be more appropriate to keep. WP:BLP1E also states that being in the news by itself doesn't automatically mean someone is notable. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 16:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
You keep bringing up BLP1E, here and at the DRV, however BLP1E requires the person to be a "low profile individual", and the grandson of President John F. Kennedy is most certainly not a low profile individual, as evidenced by the large amount of media coverage over a long period of time. Furthermore there is no "single event", simply being someone is not an "event". The purpose of BLP1E is to protect the privacy of private individuals who otherwise had a brief flash of fame eg. a neighbor who witnessed a plane crash and got on the news with man on the street interviews. That person's privacy should be protected we shouldn't be writing Wikipedia articles due to a single event. That is why there is a clause on "low profile individuals" so BLP1E is not misapplied to people who are already well known like the Kennedys. -- Green C 17:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
He is definitely low profile compared to second cousins such as RFK's grandson Joe and Eunice's grandchildren Katherine and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Jack here is medium-profile at most.

  • Why are you comparing him to other younger Kennedy cousins? I looked at Kennedy family, to see how many I recognized, and see how many had standalone articles, and how many didn't. I had never heard of most of them, and I don't think I had ever heard of any of the Kennedys who did not already have standalone articles.

    So long as the coverage of those other Kennedys is nonexistent, or is of a truly passing nature, not saying anything beyond something like "...also present was JFK's relative, young Foobar Kennedy" we should not cover Foobar Kennedy in a standalone article. But when Foobar Kennedy has significant coverage, over an extended period of time, coverage that covers different aspects of his life, then Foobar has met the criteria for a standalone article. When considering whether Foobar merits coverage, it doesn't matter if no one has yet started an article on Foobar's even more notable cousin. That is just an argument for someone to get cracking and start an article on that cousin too. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:24, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Kennedy is most certainly not a low profile individual as evidenced by the large amount of media coverage over a long period of time." Also you are misapplying NOTINHERIT essay. NOTINHERIT is based in the guideline WP:NRVE which says notability requires verifiable evidence. The essay is meant to block users who make wild and unsupported claims like "Being JFK's grandson makes him notable" (which no one here is saying, other than your strawman claims). NOTINHERIT is not meant to stop claims that are supported with evidence ie. sources. -- Green C 19:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't agree with the way you're interpreting WP:NOTINHERITED. The guideline isn't meant to take away someone's notability if someone thinks it wasn't earned. It's meant to apply to people who otherwise are unknowns being included in wikipedia just because they have a relationship with a notable person. If he was a random college kid related to the Kennedy's who wasn't getting news coverage, I think the rule would apply. Alyson Hannigan's daughter, for example, doesn't really get much media coverage. If someone tried to include her, it would be deleted and rightfully so. She isn't notable just because her mother is notable. But if her daughter got a ton of media coverage and was widely discussed she would be notable. The idea that he isn't notable because he only writes for the Yale Daily News is faulty. Even if he wrote for a major magazine...the majority of writers for those publications don't meet notability guidelines, so I'm not sure how that changes things.

  • Delete — If I overly simplify the article, I see, in order: 1. he writes stuff (but not notable stuff); 2. he's the grandson of someone famous; 3. he was born, had some parents, those parents had famous parents, had a childhood, etc; 4. raised funds in 8th grade (but not famously/only because of a source covering #2); 5. has a blog and does some news reporting (but not famously); 6. wants to be a politician in the future (but hasn't even run for anything); 7. said something at a dinner with politicians (because of #2, #3, and #6); 8. is on an award committee (but not a famous one, and only because of #2). If you apply specific notability to each one, they seem to mostly fail the corresponding guidelines (e.g., WP:BIO, WP:AUTHOR, WP:POLITICIAN). So, if the claim that he meets the GNG is because of things that wouldn't make someone independently notable on their own, it feels a bit like original research to glue non-notable things together to advance the assertion that, "He's notable in our opinion because he's done n non-notable things, which equals 1 big notable thing: him!" I think that's part of the problem with inherited notability; if you come from a famous family, you can get press just by posting a scandalous picture on Twitter, getting arrested for a DUI, or pooping in a park (and/or all of the above, if you're crazy like that :P)—gluing the 3 non-notable events together (even with news article sources), doesn't seem like it should make you notable (and wouldn't if a no-name did it), but I guess that's really just a matter of opinion. -- slakr\  talk / 20:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • You have it backwards. Start with GNG. It's the gold standard. If someone is notable by virtue of RSs covering the person in significant fashion -- for whatever reason whatsoever (even a non-notable reason) -- then they are notable. Period. End of story. No reason to weigh how notable the events are that lead the RSs to cover the person in significant fashion. None at all. The supplementary notability provisions are simply for cases where -- otherwise -- a subject is not covered sufficiently by RSs. That's all. (And I see, by this comment of yours, why some editors have viewed some closes differently than you have ... if this is how you interpret GNG).-- Epeefleche ( talk) 00:30, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • You've oversimplified notability. By the rationale you just gave, Conor Kennedy would've been notable for making numerous headlines while dating Taylor swift. As I previously mentioned, Conor fails notability per WP:BLP1E. Seeing to it that Conor got much more coverage during those months than Jack ever has at all, and Conor fails notability, then there is no doubt Jack fails notability. BLP1E indicates that one thing/event alone isn't enough to make someone notable. The "one thing" in this case is his general academic activities. Even Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth were known for more than just being charged with assassinations. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 01:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Your logic is faulty. -- Green C
Epeefleche: My point is that the GNG allows for considerably greater amounts of subjective evaluation (e.g., "is this significant? what about that?" "how many sources should there be? Is this enough? Is that enough? What does Epeefleche think it should be? Does soandso disagree?" etc...), while specific notability criteria tend to be, well, more specific. As such, I'm saying evaluating the specific notability for each instance might be a more helpful way of determining some of the more subjective prongs of GNG when there's disagreement between one person's versus another person's evaluation thereof. It's not a "Period. End of story" issue, even if you, personally, see it as such. -- slakr\  talk / 10:02, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
GNG only allows for subjective evaluation of the GNG factors ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). But the factor you're weighing -- the level of notability of the event for which the subject is covered -- is simply not one of the GNG factors. If a subject meets the GNG factors, that is in fact the end of the inquiry. You're conflating the secondary test -- which is only applied if a subject fails to meet GNG -- with the GNG test. That's incorrect. As incorrect as it would be to say if a subject met the secondary test that it was not enough, because they failed to have substantial coverage. If you want to change what the delineated GNG factors are, to add the concept that the substantial coverage in RSs must be for a "notable" event, go ahead and try -- but don't construe a community guideline by inserting additional factors into it that you would like it to have ... but which it simply doesn't have. Epeefleche ( talk) 15:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Maybe I wasn't clear, but let's recap: 1. I am saying GNG has several subjective elements, which leads to things like: a. someone saying "no, I don't think this guy meets the GNG," and b. someone telling that person they're factually wrong (case in point). 2. Because of #1, the only-used-if-GNG-is-failed specific notability guidelines (e.g., WP:BIO, WP:EVENT, etc...) should presumably, by the transitive property make the guy as easily or more easily passed as notable and, if he meets the GNG already, serve as failovers. 3. So, if this article is unable to meet even one of the as-or-more-easily-met specific notability guidelines despite all points of the subject's alleged notability having specific notability guidelines for each of them, then my point is that a blanket claim that "it's notable because it meets my minimum bar for the GNG," in the face of reliably failing the more case-specific criteria seems a little counter-intuitive (but obviously not necessarily wrong by any means). You obviously disagree, which is totally fine, because that's your opinion, which is what the discussion is all about. :P -- slakr\  talk / 16:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I disagree because that's not what GNG says. GNG quite frankly does not require -- though you would like it to -- that the article meet a failover criteria. You're simply making up your own additional add-on criteria for GNG. And acting as though it is part of the consensus-built GNG criteria. It isn't. But perhaps the close here, and comments of others, will inform one of us.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 19:56, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC; their only album, while released by a semi-major label, did no more scrape the bottom of a minor chart, and they don't seem to have gotten any significant third-party write-ups (the current sources are all either first-party or barely worth mentionings). Also, they were previously nominated and approved for deletion, so I don't even know why it's still up. In any case, I say delete. Invisiboy42293 ( talk) 20:56, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The article differs substantially from whatever was up in 2005; this is not a repost and so is not eligible for a G4 (nor is the mere fact of a prior deletion reason to delete it again). The band, as the nominator notes, hit a Billboard chart, and even if they did not chart high on it, that is sufficient according to WP:MUSIC bullet 2. The group also meets WP:MUSIC bullet 6, as members have also played in Oh, Sleeper (most of Terminal later joined this band), Alive in Wild Paint, and Analog Rebellion. Finally, the nominator is mistaken about the sourcing; Terminal have a biography and a full review of their album on Allmusic and at Jesus Freak Hideout, and to this I've added coverage of the band's splintering on Alternative Press, as well as international coverage from Cross Rhythms and a retrospective from a staff writer at Absolute Punk who called the record "one of the great emo releases of the 00's".

  • Not quite. The Altpress piece (which is currently a dead link anyway) and the Absolute Punk piece are just short news articles, no more than a paragraph each, so I don't know if they meet bullet 1's requirement that they be "non-trivial" (album reviews don't either, by the way). The Allmusic bio is getting there, but it needs at least one more substantial write-up to fulfill bullet 1. And while their album did chart, it nevertheless charted pretty low on a relatively minor chart. That technically fulfills bullet 2, but it's not enough without sufficient press attention to back it up.
Right now they're teetering on the edge of notability, but I'm still gonna go with delete.-- Invisiboy42293 ( talk) 16:30, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I'll note that the Altpress piece is not a dead link; it displays on my end. Invisiboy's WP:HEY standard, I believe, is well beyond what WP:MUSIC actually requires of bands and musicians, both in terms of charting and coverage via album reviews (both generally regarded as acceptable indicators).

  • Given so little content, this is hardly a content fork, rather it's a somewhat strangely named history article with insufficient content and context. The history of Croatia series is currently split in ~1526, but this article would easily fit into that context given a bit of expansion - the Ottoman wars were the single most significant thing that happened to the Croatian lands between the 1400s and and the 1700s. There's a fair bit of WP:POTENTIAL here, so weak keep. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 19:04, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

    • No, Croatia was very much a country during this time, it was simply not a sovereign state. And there's no "possibly" with regard to Austria - the succession of suzerainty to Austria is well documented (a formal election was held in 1527, even). Peter, you seem to have a propensity for making factual errors with regard to these topics, I've had to correct you in several of these XfD discussions as of late.

/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Qutbi_Bohra
17:11, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Ftutocdg ( talk)

I am the unfortunate author of this article. Ever since i wrote this article an editor named Ftutocdg has vandalised this article a number of times, just because of some pov of his regarding Khuzaima Qutbuddin. He is not only vandalised this article but then he also put it for deletion. He gave pointless and repetative arguments and concluded every time with same repeated questions. Even at AFD he repeatedly vandalised the article. Now he has tied up with summichum, who has not only heavily tagged the article but also has put the article for deletion again. The last time when at AFD i had answered to all their queries. The AFD was longer than the article. I have also mentioned all the details on talk page.

But here they go again, another AFD? They are using the very instruments that help write a good article, against the article as a weapon to get the article deleted. And this time it seem they have gathered their friends together for the article is getting one delete after another.

Are there nobody in Wikipedia to reprimand them. Are there nobody to correct such destructive behavior of theirs. They are not only after this article but against all articles that are connected to Khuzaima Qutbuddin. It seems that they want to change the view of the world regarding Khuzaima Qutbuddin by adding or substracting him in the different articles of Wikipedia.

From the time i have come to Wikipedia, my intentions were to make as much contribution to Wikipedia as possible, but here i am defending articles, not once, not twice but everyday, everytime i login i have to first check if these vandals have done any harm to the article or not.

I again assert that i have mentioned answers to all the queries in the talk pages and now all the twenty references are valid references. Further the issue of succession that Ftutocdg and his chum has mentioned about is given in detail in succession issue. I hope editors discuss this article in the light of its content and not by the mention of the characters in the article.

I appologize for the harsh language. I don't mean to hurt anyone, just opened my heart, it had become too heavy. Araz5152 ( talk) 20:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment:
  • Who is new Syedna? Trouble brews as half-brother stakes claim, Indian Express, 6 February 2014
    • Quote: "However, followers of Khuzaima Bhaisaheb Qutbuddin consider him the rightful successor, having been the late Syedna’s closest aide over the years. A statement released by this sect, which has unofficially started calling itself the ‘Qutbi Bohras’, says the late Syedna had instructed the Mazoon to not reveal the nass at the time."
Meaning - The term "Qutbi Bohra" is actually called by a group of people to themselves. Whatever you call yourself is not defamation.
  • Bohras who refuse to denounce Qutbuddin face boycott, threats, Mumbai Mirror, 19 February 2014
    • Quote: "Rival claims for the title of 53rd Dai, or head, of the Dawoodi Bohras, from the late Syedna Burhanuddin's brother Khuzaima Qutbuddin and son Mufaddal Saifuddin have proved traumatic for the followers of Qutbuddin. Some of them are currently holed up in Thane, living under his protection, and constantly receiving threats from the rival side. Photographs of some of them have been circulated on WhatsApp. Indeed, while this reporter was talking to them, a they received a call from Rajasthan, from someone who asked chillingly: "What's the rate for a Qutbi Bohra?" Some of them were attacked en route to Thane. They've filed police complaints, but don't intend to press charges."
Meaning - The term "Qutbi Bohra" is also recognized by others.
Now if the issue is such that the "content" of the article is wrong, then that's a different issue not handled at AfDs. That can't be the reason for deletion. I see no reason put forward as such for "deletion" of article. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 05:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Strong keep: "Qutbi Bohra" find its mention into many already listed secondary, independent and reliable sources listed under references section of the article. And, as per Dharmadhyaksha. POV is not a reason for deletion. Edit the article to make it in compliance with WP:PG or simply tag with various maintenance tags available for someone else to perform this job. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 09:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply


1 ) Qutbi Bohra name
Qutbi Bohra name is refering to Khuzaima Qutbuddin followers on newspapers. It is not a officialy sect name. Just reported words, like (quoted form User:Dharmadhyaksha answer)
" which has unofficially started calling itself the ‘Qutbi Bohras’ "
" Indeed, while this reporter was talking to them, a they received a call from Rajasthan, from someone who asked chillingly: "What's the rate for a Qutbi Bohra?" "
Mufaddal Saifuddin followers are called for example Mufaddali Bohra in bohras circles, but it dosen't mean such sect officialy exists.
2 ) Higly dafamatory artcile with baseless references
The second problem is on the content of the artcile where most of references provided Araz5152 are dubious (public forum, peepl.com, and other yahoo groups talk pages). He is defaming one the claimant of the office of 53rd dai of Dawoodi Bohra. Khuzaima Qutbuddin has never claimed to be the leader of a so-called Qutbi sect, on the contrary, he is claiming to be the leader of the Dawoodi Bohra sect.
3) if keep'
In the case it is decided to keep this article,, and regarding to the dubious references provided by User:Araz5152, i want it to be kept in this version and it serves as a basis for possible changes : Qutbi Bohra, as edited by Summichum at 17:57, 25 February 2014

  • Wikipedia includes notable subjects. If a term say, "PPP" find its mention in multiple reliable sources, It is suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia irrespective of the "PPP" whether it is existing/non-existing person/building/monument/book/space jet/etc.
If an article doesn't read encyclopedic. There's a Wikipedia guideline to make corrections. If there are some dispute over some content, editors should ask for a WP:Third opinion or reach to Dispute resolution noticeboard not AfD.

I don't agree. The article as written matches several WP:DEL#REASON criteria :
  • Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)
  • Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
  • Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons

  • There are tons of topic on Wikipedia I'm not familiar with. What I see is, the mention of the subject (Qutbi Bohra) in multiple reliable sources. I repeat, if there are some unsourced/improperly sourced/poorly sourced defamatory content, just delete/re-write that particular one leaving an edit summary or making your case on article's talk page. At some instances you seem to be agree with the presence of the subject on Wikipedia but in another form. Suggest your changes on the article's talk page. If there's some dispute over this. Ask for a wp:third opinion or wp:request for comments from editors not already involved there. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 18:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

One editor simply can not repeatedly revert other editors edit more than 3 times on an article within 24hrs. It violates three revert rule and results in a block. Beside three revert rule, being engaged into an wp:edit war often results into a block. Feel free to make a case at wp:aiv if you further encounter such situations on any page. Coming back to this nominated article for deletion, I welcome your wp:inclusionist view towards this article, doesn't matter the version. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 19:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Ftutocdg's claim that the article is defamatory is completely false and i have already proved it in the last AFD and in the talk pages.

Furthermore the article has more than 20 reliable references, not mentioned by Ftutocdg. The name Qutbi Bohra is clearly mentioned in the references mentioned and hence all the claims of Ftutocdg are false.

And he himself proves how wrong and false his concerns for the article. Just check out the article link he has given which he wants to put up. It contains just 5 sentences and makes no sense. That is the level of vandalisation they had done to the article not once but many times. They have blanked the article a number of times even when it was at AFD last time. The only thing they are concerned with is their pov over Khuzaima Qutbuddin. They, Ftutocdg and summichum, are not at all concerned with the article or the reality but just want to get the article deleted or blanked out or whatever they can to get it out of Wikipedia. I repeat that they have this amazing pov that they could change the way the world looks at Khuzaima Qutbuddin by adding or deleting his name in the articles of Wikipedia. They have been doing this for some time now with many articles on Wikipedia.

I again would like to assert that:

  • Ftutocdg claim of defamatory article is false.
  • Ftutocdg claim of using different Wikipedia terms are also false.
  • Summichums multi tagging of this article just before submitting the article for 2nd AFD is also false and Ftutocdg was warned by administrator DGG when he wrongly tagged the article.
  • The article has more than 20 valid references.
  • The article is true and there is no element of hoax or original research or propoganda. The whole article is based on references provided.
  • The version which Ftutocdg wants to put up is a highly vandalised version of the article and contains only 5 sentences, the rest of the whole article is blanked out.

I have answered to all the queries of Ftutocdg in the last AFD and in talk pages. I request editors to please understand the pov of Ftutocdg and discuss with him accordingly. Araz5152 ( talk) 21:08, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Please notice the direct quote in Hindustan Times on 12 March 2013 of a founder of the sect: "While people are internally calling themselves Qutbi Bohras, it is not likely that there will be an open declaration of the sect as long as there is no power balance within the community." Take away the primary sources from the mainstream DBs, there's not much left. Take away all sources not directly calling the faction Qutbi Bohra, and there's only two left. If the community decides on !Keep, I would strongly suggest stubbing to something the size of Qutbi Bohra, as edited by Summichum at 17:57, 25 February 2014 to get rid of the elaborate WP:SYNTH and associated challenges.

An editor Sam sailor has been continously deleting and modifying references of the article just like a child playing with a toy. Just see the amount of manupulations he has done and after deleting 12 references till now, he is still continuing he claims that i am doing edit war. He is the one vandalising the references and also voted for the articles removal, clearly showing his intentions regarding the article. I request the administors to take his vandalism seriously as he is using a loophole in the system by making small vandalising edits and also modifying the same such that if reverted the will accuse the reverting editor instead of the vandaliser like Sam sailor. Please do the needful, request to all editors.

After removing the references he has also labeled article for citation needed etc.

And the article he is refering to in the AFD has just 5sentences and is a highly vandalised version of the article. This shows the intention of this editor Sam sailor. I request Wikipedia authorities to do the needful as soon as possible. Araz5152 ( talk) 06:25, 13 March 2014 (UTC) reply

User:Araz5152, its not just Sam, but me and any other decent Wikipedian also would remove all the unsourced stuff, original researches and synthesis and stuff that seemingly has references but the reference doesn't really backup the claim made.

What an irony? The very policies that are used to protect articles on Wikipedia are been exploited by some editors and nobody at Wikipedia can do anything. Nobody has any rights to stop editors who go on a rampage over an article just because of some pov of theirs, using the very policies of Wikipedia used to protect articles. I guess there is no system of checking the edits of such editors against vandalisation such that they can blatantly claim that whatever you report to authorities nobody is going to listen. This is not according to Wikipedia standards and also not healthy with respect to protection of articles on Wikipedia.

  • Protection should be such that deletion and blanking should not be allowed to editors other than the author of the article or administrators. This would curtail vandalism to a great extend. It will also stop vulturism in editing wherein editors who do not contribute with any articles but just pick on other editor's articles for whatever reasons would be discouraged and genuine critics would be encouraged who will follow the procedure of mentioning on talk pages for editing.
  • Furthermore if there are issues it can be discussed in talk pages and updation made accordingly.
  • If any author does not log in for specific period of time the article may be alloted to another editor or taken up by adminstrator or it can be locked and put up as library content which can be edited by any administrator.
  • This would add international standards as one expects on Wikipedia and also encourge authors to provide more contribution.

Anyway still it is a huge effort by Wikipedia to maintain such a huge collection of articles, it does not matter if a few articles get deleted or vandalised or removed from Wikipedia just because some pov of some editors. I understand to gain something one has to loose something. It is perfectly alright for all administrators and other authorities not to do anything and watch an article getting ripped of part by part. After all Wikipedia is with all, by all and for all. So nobody takes any responsibility. My sympathies are with the policies of Wikipedia. Thank you.

Pretty obvious spam that I tagged under CSD G11, but was despeedied by an IP who didn't give any proper reasoning - the article is pretty clearly promotional. Fails GNG, as there is no RS coverage, and there is no reliable source for the claim that this was a finalist for the award - and I'm not even seeing how such a small-scale award would generate any notability at all, unless it was won.

Keep. Don't see anything "promotional" there. It's factual and does no harm.

Robert Somma

Robert Somma (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This BLP article is an orphan, about a male former federal bankruptcy judge who resigned after being busted for a DUI while dressed in women's clothing after leaving a gay bar. Per this discussion, there appears to be a consensus that bankruptcy judges are not inherently notable; i.e. that they are not notable unless there is something else about them that confers notability. For example, Alice M. Batchelder went on to become a U.S. district judge and chief judge of the Sixth Circuit. Arthur Gonzalez handled three high-profile bankruptcies: the Chrysler bankruptcy, the Worldcom bankruptcy (at the time the largest) and the Enron bankruptcy.

I just picked those two randomly from Category:Judges of the United States bankruptcy courts; but pretty much all the others in that category (there are only 13, including Somma) have something either related to their bankruptcy career (e.g., length of term, chief judge of the bankruptcy court, presiding over prominent bankruptcies) or subsequent career development (e.g., serving as an Article III judge). Somma's article stands out in that there's nothing special about him except for a titillating DUI arrest. He had a short (3-year) undistinguished career as a bankruptcy judge; handled no prominent cases and had no other notable aspects in his term; and no subsequent judicial career, or indeed, any other public career.

The article was created in April 2008, in response to the news of his resignation, by a WP:SPA editor who never made further edits after setting up the article; the editor's entire Wikipedia career consists of creating this article and then making a minor edit to it 20 minutes later. I stumbled upon it a couple of years ago and did some cleanup on it, and pretty much forgot about it. It's had no significant edits since then.

My take is that Somma is not notable, and the article is more an exercise in schadenfreude than a legitimate Wikipedia article. TJRC ( talk) 02:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Where do you see notability? The only edits show that he works as an attorney (all bankruptcy judges are attorneys), worked on the side as an assistant at the state (not federal) AG's office, and taught or teaches part-time at a law school. None of these convey notability to me.
Also, with respect to the orphan status, not that orphan status is itself a basis for deletion; but if he's discussed nowhere else, that's a big clue suggesting non-notability. For practical purposes, although the article is technically not an orphan any longer, the only reason it is not an orphan is that Somma has been added as a bullet-item to a couple of lists one list: lawyers who used to work at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis (where he was managing partner for a few months, but, assuming that to be a notable law firm, notability is not inherited); and List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes. He isn't actually discussed anywhere. TJRC ( talk) 17:45, 11 March 2014 (UTC) reply

By the way, to clarify, my position is not that Somma is notable only for one event, i.e., WP:BLP1E. If that were the case, it might be appropriate to move the article to Arrest of Robert Somma, or some such. My position is that he does not meet WP:GNG at all. His arrest is not notable; his term as a bankruptcy judge is not notable; his legal career is not notable; and his part-time teaching activities are not notable. He is not notable, not even for one event. TJRC ( talk) 17:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC) reply

No notability, and deceptive references. At first glance, this article looks like it refers to a notable musician - lots of reviews linked at the bottom, lots of interviews - and then you check them.

The reviews provided, while claiming to be reviews, actually aren't - if you follow them back to the source provided you'll see them all identified as press releases by the artist herself.

Then we have the interviews. 3 interviews by reliable, notable publications is certainly enough to cross the bar of notability. Unfortunately none are provided - Tribe of Noise is a community of musicians, and Rose was interviewed as a member of the group, by the group. Make A Star is a talent competition where she won, ah, $100, and was interviewed over this. The Hip Rock Magazine article link doesn't actually work, but even if it did, the magazine has only even existed for four months, and I can't see any evidence that it's a reliable or respected publication.

Outside of the provided sources, Rose has released one studio album (with six songs on it) that didn't chart, four singles (that also didn't chart), and hung around on youtube. There isn't any notability here that I can see. Ironholds ( talk) 23:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all - most are stubs based on a single source (often gossip-mag-type sources) and don't come close to being notable in their own right. There are plenty of individual items of clothing that are notable but these aren't in that category, in my view. In many cases, the coverage relates to deportment, attitude and accessories as much as it relates to the dress itself. Stalwart 111 23:22, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. No reason this couldnt have a mention on Theron's page or Dior's page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bali88 ( talk • contribs)
  • Keep/Merge If the details of these particular dresses seem to slight, there are still alternatives to deletion. For example, it seems easy to find entire books about the fashion which is displayed at the Academy Awards: Made For Each Other: Fashion and the Academy Awards; Star style at the Academy Awards: a century of glamour. Perhaps we could have a general article about this fashion parade? Our editing policy indicates that we should try to make something of this. Andrew ( talk) 01:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
    • "Alternatives to deletion" has a limit, and isn't a backdoor around notability. I can't see what's in that book, but the promotional summary seems to indicate that it focuses on specific items of clothing, in which case it can be used as a source for those specific items of clothing. Its existence does not justify the coverage of dresses that aren't covered. If there are multiple sources that provide substantial coverage of one of these dresses in specific (not fashion of the red carpet, not fashion of that year, etc.), that dress meets the notability guideline and can have a stand-alone articles. If not, we can shuffle trivially covered items around in any number of article configurations, but it's still not going to get around the fact that they're trivially covered. For that reason, I disagree very strongly with your interpretation of the editing policy. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ  Wha? 05:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I think your interpretation is incorrect. Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone_lists says if the list subject is notable "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable" so it's clear you can combine non-notable articles into a list as long as the list is as a whole about a notable topic. "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been", so it would be ok to include dresses that weren't in the book. That would justify a merge though not a keep. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 10:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to David Berry (educator). It took a while and it certainly wasn't easy- I had to try to find one of his books and then work out from there since the name posed a huge problem. I also don't really see where he's done any of the typical author or educator type stuff such as creating a web page for himself. However I've found enough reviews for his work to where he'd justify an article on his own. On a side note, I have to note the irony that someone involved in teaching about media and journalism has such a low Internet profile. It's probably how he wants it, but still... a little funny.

Please read WP:BAND. In order to be Wikipedia notable, they have to have either two major-label albums (announcing a second album isn't the same as actually having one), significant coverage of their touring in professional music publications (not webzines or blogs, and more than a couple of sentences), two or more notable sites with full articles on the band specifically, or all of the above, if possible.

Notability is determined on Wikipedia by multiple reliable sources. This is summarized at WP:42 or see WP:GNG. The sources are all about John Schlossberg.

  • Delete and merge some basic info, such as his existence, to a notable family member's article - IMO in its present state, this article is an insult to all encyclopaedic writing. The sixth line of text of WP:Notability states, "This (Notability) is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page.

  • Delete - I don't believe he's notable just based on the family connection alone - there are dozens of Kennedy grandchildren, and even though their names may be mentioned in passing in books or articles does not mean they merit their own article in an encyclopedia. Looking at the sources cited in the article, I'm not seeing the "major newspapers" someone else mentioned at all. He's written some op-eds for CNN and The New York Times, but I have several friends who have done the same, and that doesn't make you worthy of an encyclopedia article strictly based on that. The sources that are articles actually about him just appear to be mainly websites. He'll probably be notable as a journalist or politician at some point, but at this point, he is not. As you can see from this article, which is mostly about things he has done related to being a Kennedy grandchild, which would also apply to his dozens of cousins. - Gloriamarie ( talk) 19:02, 16 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No-one ever claimed he is notable for his family connections alone. He is notable for having multiple reliable sources with significant coverage, per WP:GNG. Those articles might exist only because he's the descendant of JFK, but the reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable. When you say "The sources that are articles actually about him just appear to be mainly websites." What does that mean? Of course the reliable sources are 'websites'.

That's an argument for the special notability rules. The General GNG rules don't require it. Only that the topic has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Though Schlossberg actually has done things (started a non profit, etc). -- Green C 06:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
The problem isn't reliability of sources or how amount of info they contain. The problem is they don't say how he is significant to society or anything. As for 6 month old baby articles, lots of those probably shouldn't have articles yet if at all. The article also doesn't list anything notable about him.

Wikipedia doesn't require "significant to society". Only significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. The reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable. -- Green C 07:08, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I have a feeling you've misunderstood the notability policies. Notability/Significance/Impact takes precedence over coverage. You could have tons of information, and even that wouldn't mean anything if it didn't establish how the subject is notable or really popular or anything. While it is true that things with established notability need coverage, not all things with coverage are notable. I mean, I could easily talk to various family and friends of anybody to gain info on that person, but that doesn't automatically make him/her notable. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 07:17, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
I'm concerned you have your own unique interpretation and have not read WP:GNG which says something is notable if it has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. It's telling that while I continually cite the rules and quote them, you do not. -- Green C 17:04, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete A person is not notable merely for being mentioned in sources. Rather, those sources must indicate the reason why the person is notable. Regarding Green C's citation of WP:GNG, I refer to the following portion of that very guideline:

"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have stand-alone article..."

So just because a person appears in sources doesn't mean that discussion is over. The context, or reason why they're being mentioned, is crucial. A person is not notable simply because they are related to someone notable, as indicated by WP:BLPFAMILY. If they were, then we'd have to give every single baby in the Kennedy family their own article the day they're born, which is obviously not the case. I'm not sure if this is explicitly spelled out by policy or guidelines, but it's certainly a implicit part of notability, and is underlined by an article's Lead section.

To give perhaps a more illustrative example, take me. I've been mentioned by name in at least four different reliable, secondary sources, all of which are independent of me, none of which are tabloids:

  • When I was a child, maybe four or five years old, I was photographed dozing off while sitting in a pile of autumn leaves. The photo appeared as a "Slice of Life" piece, complete with a caption that identified me by name, in a newspaper. I don't know if I can find an online version, but I know my mother kept a clipped copy.
  • When I was 16, Madonna and Matt Dillon filmed some of the scenes of their film Bloodhounds of Broadway at a location four blocks from my house, and I was quoted, by name in a local paper because I was hanging around that location looking to spot of glimpse of of one of them, and ended up saying hi to Dillon when he arrived at one point.
  • I was one of the Wikipedians quoted by Maura Ewing in an October 2012 article on Wikipedia that appeared on Salon.com.
  • A year ago, I helped set up a mini comics festival at our local community center, displayed some artwork there, and emceed one or two of the panels, and I was featured for this reason in at least two sources that reported on it ( [2] [3]).

By Green C's rationale, I'd be notable, because I was in three separate reliable sources. But am I?

Of course not.

These four events are completely unrelated, different events with no connection between them. The first two are extremely trivial, and even in the case of the fourth, in which I played a more central role, it was for a small, local festival that so far, we've only had one of, and which itself is not notable. I don't think helping to organize a small festival or even emceeing panels on it makes a person notable, even if two or three different sources mention this. The event itself would have be large enough to be notable before notability could be conferred on those who help set it up, and even then, not necessarily. John Schlossberg is not notable, for the simple reason that his article doesn't even provide a reason for which he is notable that satisfies Wikipedia's criteria. Nightscream ( talk) 01:14, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Again that is an appeal to the special notability guidelines, which require a reason for being notability. The general notability guidelines do not require a specific reason or personal accomplishment, just significant coverage in multiple reliable sources for whatever reason those sources want. -- Green C 01:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Agee with GreenC. User:Nightscream, if you can't see any difference between your life's notability and John's, then there's a problem. Of course being a family member of the US president doesn't guarantee you an article on Wikipedia, but considering both John's family connection as well as his relatively wide media coverage by various reliable and secondary sources, and the fact that he's a writer (which in most cases is notable just for itself), all together make the case for keeping this article a much stronger one than deleting it, per Wikipedia's policies. Yambaram ( talk) 16:11, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
No one (but yourself) says he is "default notable" - he is notable because of the existence of sources, as is described in WP:GNG. Those articles might exist only because he's the descendant of JFK, but the reason doesn't matter; the papers apparently felt he was notable. Those papers are not beholden to Wikipedia's rules in determining notability (!) but we are beholden to the papers when determining notability. -- Green C 08:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - since I've noticed this fact is ignored, please remember that John is also a writer, who (taken from the article) "writes for the Yale Daily News, Yale Herald,[7] and posts opinion pages for the New York Times.[8]". In addition, the existences of all the sources make him sufficiently notable per WP:GNG. Yambaram ( talk) 16:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
This is an excellent point. Plus whose to say the non-profit he started, an ongoing and successful organization, wouldn't have garnered him attention regardless of who he is. It can't be helped the sources talk about his famous family, including if he ever became President someday, they will still be talking about his famous grandfather. -- Green C 16:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Being an op ed writer or a college paper writer does not make someone notable. In fact, very few journalists are notable, even ones who have done a lot more writing than this guy.

Actually not. INHERIT is an essay. It is an essay called "Arguments to avoid making during an AfD". No one is making that argument. We are arguing Keep due to the guideline WP:GNG.

  • Keep. Epeefleche puts it well. NOTINHERITED is part of an essay that Wikipedians are free to disregard, and it's right that we disregard it. It's never been a coherent or logical set of guidelines. It's always been basically just a laundry list of things some people wish that other people weren't allowed to say at AfD. It doesn't have the stature to prevail over the GNG.— S Marshall T/ C 22:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Sort-of-weak keep. Subject meets the GNG. I don't really think he's done or been involved in anything noteworthy enough to "deserve" (whatever that means) the level of notability he's reached, but that shouldn't be relevant in making this decision. We cover the Courtney Stoddens of the world, and he's well above that level. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 22:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as the subject passes WP:GNG. The article's subject received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources; some of these are documented in the article.

  • Delete as Notability is not inherited, expanding on my [ DRV argument. When a subject's perceived "notability" is evaluated, there is broad precedent in this project that if it stems from a famous relative, i.e. the subject would likely not receive the amount of coverage he/she does absent the famous relation, then that is not suited for a standalone article. Much the same as a WP:BLP1E (1E is not being argued her,e just used as a reference) case is considered; absent the event, is that person still notable? We have evaluated similar cases in the past such as Al Gore's son (it took awhile to stick), Michelle Bachmann's husband, and Meg Whitman's housekeeper. Any argument of "it just meets the GNG" should be weighed next-to-nothing in the final tally here, just as they would be in BLP1e discussion. Tarc ( talk) 13:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't particularly care if the Schlossberg article is kept or tossed, but I'm not sure I agree with the logic that a person isn't notable if they're only known for being associated with someone who is notable. I realize that "other stuff exists" is not a good argument, but a good analogy: K Fed has an article and I think we can all agree that he fits in this category. Most folks would agree that he's notable. Why? Because people are talking about him and people want to read about him. It doesn't matter that he hasn't done a darn thing with his life except be a lazy gold digger and he wouldn't be notable if he hadn't married Britney Spears, the the fact of the matter is that he did and now he's famous. And he's notable because he's famous. I just don't think that we should give all that much thought to *how* someone came to be notable, just that they *are* notable. Basically because if we go by this logic, we could retrofit non-notability into pretty much everyone. This person wouldn't be notable if they hadn't been murdered or if they hadn't written this novel, we could apply that logic to everyone to question their notability. I realize I don't speak for everyone, but I think if there is a decent likelihood that a good amount of people will come on here looking for an article about a topic, we should consider that notability. :-) Bali88 ( talk) 23:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Upon reviewing Kevin Federline's page, saying he "hasn't done a darn thing with his life except be a lazy gold digger" is rather oversimplified. Yes, he is easily best known for his marriage to Britney Spears, but he had previously been noted as a backup dancer for Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Destiny's Child, Pink, and LFO. He is also noted as rapper. Just thought I should mention that. It is true that one's relationship (dating, marriage, engagement, etc.) can drastically increase the public attention he/she receives, though he/she is essentially not notable if not known for doing anything else. In the case of Jack Schlossberg here, absolutely nothing notable about him is known, not even being a writer for Yale and certainly not for being a student there.

  • No offense, but this strikes me as a fringe interpretation of WP:NOTINHERITED. When the reflected scrutiny the press gives a famous person doesn't find anything notable to comment on in the lives of their relatives, that is when NOTINHERITED offers useful advice. But when the reflected scrutiny does trigger coverage of new details -- unrelated to the famous person -- then the advice of NOTINHERITED no longer applies.

    There are some individuals, related to famous individuals in their industry, who chose to change their names, so they weren't riding on the coat-tails of their famous relatives. And I bet we have never heard of most of them, because they never did have press coverage to establish their own notability. By your argument would we have an article on Nicholas Cage, the nephew of famous director Francis Ford Coppola?

    Other 20 something youths are handsome; other 20 something youths go to Ivy League Universities; other 20 something youths write for their college newspapers, train to be EMTs, have harassing hoaxsters falsely "out" them as "gay"; some 20 something youths even give moving speeches to audiences full of somebodies -- without ever triggering coverage by reliable sources. And you know what? We don't make articles about those individuals. But an individual, like Schlossberg, who has considerable RS coverage -- we do cover those individuals -- their relationship with a famous relative has then become irrelevant. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep After reading the opinions above I feel I need to remind participants of their obligation to follow the recommendations of WP:BEFORE. The "delete" opinions seem to be a combination of lapses from WP:BEFORE, that fail to recognize that RS have covered Schlossberg in detail -- and classic lapses from the advice of WP:IDONTLIKEIT from participants whose comments boil down to they don't think Schlossberg should be notable, who have blithely ignored that widespread coverage of him in RS have made him notable whether they like it or not.

    Yes, we have the advice of WP:NOTINHERITED, in the WP:ATA essay, and 95+ percent of the relatives of notable people do turn out to be nobodies, who if they are mentioned in the press, have only a truly passing mention, of their relationship with the more famous relative, and say nothing about them. However, I suggest a fair reading of the press reporting on Schlossberg show he is one of the exceptions, one of the less than 5 percent of relatives of notable people who have had their own notability established.

  • Hmmm. Tarc, didn't you call upon the authority of NOTINHERITED, which is part of the essay WP:Arguments to avoid?
It really surprises me that you should call BEFORE a mere "suggestions", and are not acknowledging that it is part of the instructions as to how and when to nominate articles for deletion.

If there was a consistent logic to how much attention we should pay to wikidocuments, I think BEFORE would trump the advice of an essay like ATA. However User:DGG has made an important point, paraphrasing from memory, that the wikipedia is a complex, evolving, political entity, and, in practice, one can see that there are times when the community places more confidence in some essays, which theoretically, could be just a fringe opinion, than in other wikidocuments that, theoretically, one would consider of higher precedence.

In this particular case I think following the instructions of BEFORE is important. In this particular case I also think ATA has some relevant advice, but I think it is the advice in its WP:IDONTLIKEIT section, not its NOTINHERITED section, as I think a fair reading of the references shows the reporters behind those RS have written about Schlossberg, in detail, about aspects of his life that are not mere reflections of the notability of his more famous relatives. This is what we should require to agree notability has been established, and, like it or not, it has been established. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep  Note that I commented twice at the most recent DRV.  IMO, there is no argument here that satisfies WP:Deletion policy without invoking WP:IAR.  The argument to WP:NOTINHERITED is a contrary interpretation of WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.  The related implied argument that WP:NOTINHERITED is an emerging tenet of WP:NOT does not explain John Quincy Adams.  IMO, the policy path to consensus here is to conclude that the topic passes WP:GNG but is not "worthy of notice" as is required by WP:N.  The remedy for such is a merge, which does not need AfD.  In part I think that editors are not unreasonably reacting to the misuse of the encyclopedia in the "Career" section, but removing trivia and speculation is handled by WP:Editing policy.  Unscintillating ( talk) 16:22, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • John Quincy Adams got plenty of notability outside of his famous father and the Adams family, being a well-known politician who served as President. Merging Jack Schlossberg to Kennedy family is fine with me, though he isn't really notable on his own since being a college student at Yale isn't noteworthy and niether is writing for its news team. If he becomes a more professional writer (not saying Yale papers lack credibility or anything, but they're not really professional), then it would be more appropriate to keep. WP:BLP1E also states that being in the news by itself doesn't automatically mean someone is notable. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 16:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
You keep bringing up BLP1E, here and at the DRV, however BLP1E requires the person to be a "low profile individual", and the grandson of President John F. Kennedy is most certainly not a low profile individual, as evidenced by the large amount of media coverage over a long period of time. Furthermore there is no "single event", simply being someone is not an "event". The purpose of BLP1E is to protect the privacy of private individuals who otherwise had a brief flash of fame eg. a neighbor who witnessed a plane crash and got on the news with man on the street interviews. That person's privacy should be protected we shouldn't be writing Wikipedia articles due to a single event. That is why there is a clause on "low profile individuals" so BLP1E is not misapplied to people who are already well known like the Kennedys. -- Green C 17:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
He is definitely low profile compared to second cousins such as RFK's grandson Joe and Eunice's grandchildren Katherine and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Jack here is medium-profile at most. Being JFK's grandson doesn't make him high profile anymore than it does his sisters Rose and Tatiana. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 17:27, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Why are you comparing him to other younger Kennedy cousins? I looked at Kennedy family, to see how many I recognized, and see how many had standalone articles, and how many didn't. I had never heard of most of them, and I don't think I had ever heard of any of the Kennedys who did not already have standalone articles.

    So long as the coverage of those other Kennedys is nonexistent, or is of a truly passing nature, not saying anything beyond something like "...also present was JFK's relative, young Foobar Kennedy" we should not cover Foobar Kennedy in a standalone article. But when Foobar Kennedy has significant coverage, over an extended period of time, coverage that covers different aspects of his life, then Foobar has met the criteria for a standalone article. When considering whether Foobar merits coverage, it doesn't matter if no one has yet started an article on Foobar's even more notable cousin. That is just an argument for someone to get cracking and start an article on that cousin too. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:24, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Being JFK's grandson doesn't make him high profile. That is a strawman, no one but yourself is saying that. Read what I said again: "the grandson of President John F. Kennedy is most certainly not a low profile individual as evidenced by the large amount of media coverage over a long period of time." Also you are misapplying NOTINHERIT essay. NOTINHERIT is based in the guideline WP:NRVE which says notability requires verifiable evidence. The essay is meant to block users who make wild and unsupported claims like "Being JFK's grandson makes him notable" (which no one here is saying, other than your strawman claims). NOTINHERIT is not meant to stop claims that are supported with evidence ie. sources. -- Green C 19:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't agree with the way you're interpreting WP:NOTINHERITED. The guideline isn't meant to take away someone's notability if someone thinks it wasn't earned. It's meant to apply to people who otherwise are unknowns being included in wikipedia just because they have a relationship with a notable person. If he was a random college kid related to the Kennedy's who wasn't getting news coverage, I think the rule would apply. Alyson Hannigan's daughter, for example, doesn't really get much media coverage. If someone tried to include her, it would be deleted and rightfully so. She isn't notable just because her mother is notable. But if her daughter got a ton of media coverage and was widely discussed she would be notable. The idea that he isn't notable because he only writes for the Yale Daily News is faulty. Even if he wrote for a major magazine...the majority of writers for those publications don't meet notability guidelines, so I'm not sure how that changes things. Bali88 ( talk) 17:37, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Even Conor Kennedy, who doesn't have his own article, got more media attention by dating Taylor Swift than Jack Schlossberg ever has. Conor doesn't have an article because of WP:BLP1E.

Conor Kennedy doesn't "fail notability". No one created an article yet. The non-existence of a topic has nothing to do with its notability. Another logical fallacy is you make a big deal about inheritance, but then make this inheritance-based argument that one Kennedy is the same as another. -- Green C 02:18, 10 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Not what I meant. My point was that if Conor doesn't fulfill notability policies then Jack doesn't either, even if we don't use WP:INHERIT. I was simply using Conor as an example of someone who got lots of coverage but is not notable. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 02:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Meets the GNG. No policy or guideline seems to apply which would prevent an article. So we keep it. Put another way, notability on Wikipedia doesn't require you be notable for a good reason. Hobit ( talk) 02:08, 10 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I think a lot of the keep votes have been overly persuaded by his claims to have been involved in organizing something as a high school student, but he was only one of 10+ people involved and not the leader, so this is not a claim to notability.

  • Comment Attempt to gauge interest by views of articles under consideration for deletion is unwise. A large part of the traffic is probably driven by the fact the article is being considered for deletion. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete — If I overly simplify the article, I see, in order: 1. he writes stuff (but not notable stuff); 2. he's the grandson of someone famous; 3. he was born, had some parents, those parents had famous parents, had a childhood, etc; 4. raised funds in 8th grade (but not famously/only because of a source covering #2); 5. has a blog and does some news reporting (but not famously); 6. wants to be a politician in the future (but hasn't even run for anything); 7. said something at a dinner with politicians (because of #2, #3, and #6); 8. is on an award committee (but not a famous one, and only because of #2). If you apply specific notability to each one, they seem to mostly fail the corresponding guidelines (e.g., WP:BIO, WP:AUTHOR, WP:POLITICIAN). So, if the claim that he meets the GNG is because of things that wouldn't make someone independently notable on their own, it feels a bit like original research to glue non-notable things together to advance the assertion that, "He's notable in our opinion because he's done n non-notable things, which equals 1 big notable thing: him!" I think that's part of the problem with inherited notability; if you come from a famous family, you can get press just by posting a scandalous picture on Twitter, getting arrested for a DUI, or pooping in a park (and/or all of the above, if you're crazy like that :P)—gluing the 3 non-notable events together (even with news article sources), doesn't seem like it should make you notable (and wouldn't if a no-name did it), but I guess that's really just a matter of opinion. -- slakr\  talk / 20:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • You have it backwards. Start with GNG. It's the gold standard. If someone is notable by virtue of RSs covering the person in significant fashion -- for whatever reason whatsoever (even a non-notable reason) -- then they are notable. Period. End of story. No reason to weigh how notable the events are that lead the RSs to cover the person in significant fashion. None at all. The supplementary notability provisions are simply for cases where -- otherwise -- a subject is not covered sufficiently by RSs. That's all. (And I see, by this comment of yours, why some editors have viewed some closes differently than you have ... if this is how you interpret GNG).-- Epeefleche ( talk) 00:30, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • You've oversimplified notability. By the rationale you just gave, Conor Kennedy would've been notable for making numerous headlines while dating Taylor swift. As I previously mentioned, Conor fails notability per WP:BLP1E. Seeing to it that Conor got much more coverage during those months than Jack ever has at all, and Conor fails notability, then there is no doubt Jack fails notability. BLP1E indicates that one thing/event alone isn't enough to make someone notable. The "one thing" in this case is his general academic activities. Even Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth were known for more than just being charged with assassinations. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 01:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Your logic is faulty. -- Green C
Epeefleche: My point is that the GNG allows for considerably greater amounts of subjective evaluation (e.g., "is this significant? what about that?" "how many sources should there be? Is this enough? Is that enough? What does Epeefleche think it should be? Does soandso disagree?" etc...), while specific notability criteria tend to be, well, more specific. As such, I'm saying evaluating the specific notability for each instance might be a more helpful way of determining some of the more subjective prongs of GNG when there's disagreement between one person's versus another person's evaluation thereof. It's not a "Period. End of story" issue, even if you, personally, see it as such. -- slakr\  talk / 10:02, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
GNG only allows for subjective evaluation of the GNG factors ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). But the factor you're weighing -- the level of notability of the event for which the subject is covered -- is simply not one of the GNG factors. If a subject meets the GNG factors, that is in fact the end of the inquiry. You're conflating the secondary test -- which is only applied if a subject fails to meet GNG -- with the GNG test. That's incorrect. As incorrect as it would be to say if a subject met the secondary test that it was not enough, because they failed to have substantial coverage. If you want to change what the delineated GNG factors are, to add the concept that the substantial coverage in RSs must be for a "notable" event, go ahead and try -- but don't construe a community guideline by inserting additional factors into it that you would like it to have ... but which it simply doesn't have. Epeefleche ( talk) 15:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Maybe I wasn't clear, but let's recap: 1. I am saying GNG has several subjective elements, which leads to things like: a. someone saying "no, I don't think this guy meets the GNG," and b. someone telling that person they're factually wrong (case in point). 2. Because of #1, the only-used-if-GNG-is-failed specific notability guidelines (e.g., WP:BIO, WP:EVENT, etc...) should presumably, by the transitive property make the guy as easily or more easily passed as notable and, if he meets the GNG already, serve as failovers. 3. So, if this article is unable to meet even one of the as-or-more-easily-met specific notability guidelines despite all points of the subject's alleged notability having specific notability guidelines for each of them, then my point is that a blanket claim that "it's notable because it meets my minimum bar for the GNG," in the face of reliably failing the more case-specific criteria seems a little counter-intuitive (but obviously not necessarily wrong by any means). You obviously disagree, which is totally fine, because that's your opinion, which is what the discussion is all about. :P -- slakr\  talk / 16:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I disagree because that's not what GNG says. GNG quite frankly does not require -- though you would like it to -- that the article meet a failover criteria. You're simply making up your own additional add-on criteria for GNG. And acting as though it is part of the consensus-built GNG criteria. It isn't. But perhaps the close here, and comments of others, will inform one of us.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 19:56, 14 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC; their only album, while released by a semi-major label, did no more scrape the bottom of a minor chart, and they don't seem to have gotten any significant third-party write-ups (the current sources are all either first-party or barely worth mentionings).

  • Keep The article differs substantially from whatever was up in 2005; this is not a repost and so is not eligible for a G4 (nor is the mere fact of a prior deletion reason to delete it again). The band, as the nominator notes, hit a Billboard chart, and even if they did not chart high on it, that is sufficient according to WP:MUSIC bullet 2. The group also meets WP:MUSIC bullet 6, as members have also played in Oh, Sleeper (most of Terminal later joined this band), Alive in Wild Paint, and Analog Rebellion. Finally, the nominator is mistaken about the sourcing; Terminal have a biography and a full review of their album on Allmusic and at Jesus Freak Hideout, and to this I've added coverage of the band's splintering on Alternative Press, as well as international coverage from Cross Rhythms and a retrospective from a staff writer at Absolute Punk who called the record "one of the great emo releases of the 00's".

  • Not quite. The Altpress piece (which is currently a dead link anyway) and the Absolute Punk piece are just short news articles, no more than a paragraph each, so I don't know if they meet bullet 1's requirement that they be "non-trivial" (album reviews don't either, by the way). The Allmusic bio is getting there, but it needs at least one more substantial write-up to fulfill bullet 1. And while their album did chart, it nevertheless charted pretty low on a relatively minor chart. That technically fulfills bullet 2, but it's not enough without sufficient press attention to back it up.
Right now they're teetering on the edge of notability, but I'm still gonna go with delete.-- Invisiboy42293 ( talk) 16:30, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I'll note that the Altpress piece is not a dead link; it displays on my end.

Non-notable TV series episode, fails WP:GNG. The pisode is already summarised at List of Jericho episodes#Season_1:_2006.E2.80.932007, so no need to merge.

The article is referenced only to one source: a review on IGN.com. However, IGN is in not independent. The company's own website describes it as an media and services provider, not as indpendent publication.

Even if editors somehow overlook the nature of IGN, one review does not amount to "significant coverage" per GNG. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 15:59, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. I wouldn't agree that citing IGN would be detrimental for television articles such as this, as it has been used on some good articles. As the sole review, however, it cannot support the article. Whisternefet ( c · l) 01:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Just as a note, IGN is an independent source and would count towards GNG consideration, as it has no direct ties to the producers of the show or of the broadcasting station, which is the test we use for independence. But that said, one source is not going to meet GNG requirements (that's not significant coverage). -- MASEM ( t) 15:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete most of the Jericho TV series episode articles should be deleted, being redundant with the list and mostly just plot dumps.

  • Given so little content, this is hardly a content fork, rather it's a somewhat strangely named history article with insufficient content and context. The history of Croatia series is currently split in ~1526, but this article would easily fit into that context given a bit of expansion - the Ottoman wars were the single most significant thing that happened to the Croatian lands between the 1400s and and the 1700s.

    • No, Croatia was very much a country during this time, it was simply not a sovereign state.

/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Qutbi_Bohra
17:11, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Ftutocdg ( talk)

I am the unfortunate author of this article. Ever since i wrote this article an editor named Ftutocdg has vandalised this article a number of times, just because of some pov of his regarding Khuzaima Qutbuddin. He is not only vandalised this article but then he also put it for deletion. He gave pointless and repetative arguments and concluded every time with same repeated questions. Even at AFD he repeatedly vandalised the article. Now he has tied up with summichum, who has not only heavily tagged the article but also has put the article for deletion again. The last time when at AFD i had answered to all their queries. The AFD was longer than the article. I have also mentioned all the details on talk page.

But here they go again, another AFD? They are using the very instruments that help write a good article, against the article as a weapon to get the article deleted. And this time it seem they have gathered their friends together for the article is getting one delete after another.

Are there nobody in Wikipedia to reprimand them. Are there nobody to correct such destructive behavior of theirs. They are not only after this article but against all articles that are connected to Khuzaima Qutbuddin. It seems that they want to change the view of the world regarding Khuzaima Qutbuddin by adding or substracting him in the different articles of Wikipedia.

From the time i have come to Wikipedia, my intentions were to make as much contribution to Wikipedia as possible, but here i am defending articles, not once, not twice but everyday, everytime i login i have to first check if these vandals have done any harm to the article or not.

I again assert that i have mentioned answers to all the queries in the talk pages and now all the twenty references are valid references. Further the issue of succession that Ftutocdg and his chum has mentioned about is given in detail in succession issue. I hope editors discuss this article in the light of its content and not by the mention of the characters in the article.

I appologize for the harsh language. I don't mean to hurt anyone, just opened my heart, it had become too heavy. Araz5152 ( talk) 20:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment:
  • Who is new Syedna? Trouble brews as half-brother stakes claim, Indian Express, 6 February 2014
    • Quote: "However, followers of Khuzaima Bhaisaheb Qutbuddin consider him the rightful successor, having been the late Syedna’s closest aide over the years. A statement released by this sect, which has unofficially started calling itself the ‘Qutbi Bohras’, says the late Syedna had instructed the Mazoon to not reveal the nass at the time."
Meaning - The term "Qutbi Bohra" is actually called by a group of people to themselves. Whatever you call yourself is not defamation.
  • Bohras who refuse to denounce Qutbuddin face boycott, threats, Mumbai Mirror, 19 February 2014
    • Quote: "Rival claims for the title of 53rd Dai, or head, of the Dawoodi Bohras, from the late Syedna Burhanuddin's brother Khuzaima Qutbuddin and son Mufaddal Saifuddin have proved traumatic for the followers of Qutbuddin. Some of them are currently holed up in Thane, living under his protection, and constantly receiving threats from the rival side. Photographs of some of them have been circulated on WhatsApp. Indeed, while this reporter was talking to them, a they received a call from Rajasthan, from someone who asked chillingly: "What's the rate for a Qutbi Bohra?" Some of them were attacked en route to Thane. They've filed police complaints, but don't intend to press charges."
Meaning - The term "Qutbi Bohra" is also recognized by others.
Now if the issue is such that the "content" of the article is wrong, then that's a different issue not handled at AfDs. That can't be the reason for deletion. I see no reason put forward as such for "deletion" of article. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 05:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Strong keep: "Qutbi Bohra" find its mention into many already listed secondary, independent and reliable sources listed under references section of the article. And, as per Dharmadhyaksha. POV is not a reason for deletion. Edit the article to make it in compliance with WP:PG or simply tag with various maintenance tags available for someone else to perform this job. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 09:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply


1 ) Qutbi Bohra name
Qutbi Bohra name is refering to Khuzaima Qutbuddin followers on newspapers. It is not a officialy sect name. Just reported words, like (quoted form User:Dharmadhyaksha answer)
" which has unofficially started calling itself the ‘Qutbi Bohras’ "
" Indeed, while this reporter was talking to them, a they received a call from Rajasthan, from someone who asked chillingly: "What's the rate for a Qutbi Bohra?" "
Mufaddal Saifuddin followers are called for example Mufaddali Bohra in bohras circles, but it dosen't mean such sect officialy exists.
2 ) Higly dafamatory artcile with baseless references
The second problem is on the content of the artcile where most of references provided Araz5152 are dubious (public forum, peepl.com, and other yahoo groups talk pages). He is defaming one the claimant of the office of 53rd dai of Dawoodi Bohra. Khuzaima Qutbuddin has never claimed to be the leader of a so-called Qutbi sect, on the contrary, he is claiming to be the leader of the Dawoodi Bohra sect.
3) if keep'
In the case it is decided to keep this article,, and regarding to the dubious references provided by User:Araz5152, i want it to be kept in this version and it serves as a basis for possible changes : Qutbi Bohra, as edited by Summichum at 17:57, 25 February 2014

PS : I know Araz5152 will again and again flood this discussion with his conspiracy theory drama. But I hope that people who know basic Bohras history will react properly.
  • Wikipedia includes notable subjects. If a term say, "PPP" find its mention in multiple reliable sources, It is suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia irrespective of the "PPP" whether it is existing/non-existing person/building/monument/book/space jet/etc.
If an article doesn't read encyclopedic. There's a Wikipedia guideline to make corrections. If there are some dispute over some content, editors should ask for a WP:Third opinion or reach to Dispute resolution noticeboard not AfD.
In this case, I find the reason of deletion invalid. See, WP:DEL#REASON. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 19:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I don't agree. The article as written matches several WP:DEL#REASON criteria :
  • Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)
  • Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
  • Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons

  • There are tons of topic on Wikipedia I'm not familiar with. What I see is, the mention of the subject (Qutbi Bohra) in multiple reliable sources. I repeat, if there are some unsourced/improperly sourced/poorly sourced defamatory content, just delete/re-write that particular one leaving an edit summary or making your case on article's talk page. At some instances you seem to be agree with the presence of the subject on Wikipedia but in another form. Suggest your changes on the article's talk page. If there's some dispute over this.

Beside three revert rule, being engaged into an wp:edit war often results into a block. Feel free to make a case at wp:aiv if you further encounter such situations on any page. Coming back to this nominated article for deletion, I welcome your wp:inclusionist view towards this article, doesn't matter the version. Anupmehra - Let's talk! 19:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Ftutocdg's claim that the article is defamatory is completely false and i have already proved it in the last AFD and in the talk pages.

Furthermore the article has more than 20 reliable references, not mentioned by Ftutocdg. The name Qutbi Bohra is clearly mentioned in the references mentioned and hence all the claims of Ftutocdg are false.

And he himself proves how wrong and false his concerns for the article. Just check out the article link he has given which he wants to put up. It contains just 5 sentences and makes no sense. That is the level of vandalisation they had done to the article not once but many times. They have blanked the article a number of times even when it was at AFD last time. The only thing they are concerned with is their pov over Khuzaima Qutbuddin. They, Ftutocdg and summichum, are not at all concerned with the article or the reality but just want to get the article deleted or blanked out or whatever they can to get it out of Wikipedia. I repeat that they have this amazing pov that they could change the way the world looks at Khuzaima Qutbuddin by adding or deleting his name in the articles of Wikipedia. They have been doing this for some time now with many articles on Wikipedia.

I again would like to assert that:

  • Ftutocdg claim of defamatory article is false.
  • Ftutocdg claim of using different Wikipedia terms are also false.
  • Summichums multi tagging of this article just before submitting the article for 2nd AFD is also false and Ftutocdg was warned by administrator DGG when he wrongly tagged the article.
  • The article has more than 20 valid references.
  • The article is true and there is no element of hoax or original research or propoganda. The whole article is based on references provided.
  • The version which Ftutocdg wants to put up is a highly vandalised version of the article and contains only 5 sentences, the rest of the whole article is blanked out.

I have answered to all the queries of Ftutocdg in the last AFD and in talk pages. I request editors to please understand the pov of Ftutocdg and discuss with him accordingly. Araz5152 ( talk) 21:08, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Dear Araz5152, you have proved nothing. Same rhetoric. Your artcile is a hoax, and you know it. So please stop your drama. I don't want to discuss further with you. Regard, Ftutocdg ( talk) 21:31, 7 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as it lacks WP:SIGCOV and I have spend quite some time going through all of those refs provided and added proper citations. Please notice the direct quote in Hindustan Times on 12 March 2013 of a founder of the sect: "While people are internally calling themselves Qutbi Bohras, it is not likely that there will be an open declaration of the sect as long as there is no power balance within the community." Take away the primary sources from the mainstream DBs, there's not much left. Take away all sources not directly calling the faction Qutbi Bohra, and there's only two left. If the community decides on !Keep, I would strongly suggest stubbing to something the size of Qutbi Bohra, as edited by Summichum at 17:57, 25 February 2014 to get rid of the elaborate WP:SYNTH and associated challenges.

An editor Sam sailor has been continously deleting and modifying references of the article just like a child playing with a toy. Just see the amount of manupulations he has done and after deleting 12 references till now, he is still continuing he claims that i am doing edit war. He is the one vandalising the references and also voted for the articles removal, clearly showing his intentions regarding the article. I request the administors to take his vandalism seriously as he is using a loophole in the system by making small vandalising edits and also modifying the same such that if reverted the will accuse the reverting editor instead of the vandaliser like Sam sailor. Please do the needful, request to all editors.

After removing the references he has also labeled article for citation needed etc.

And the article he is refering to in the AFD has just 5sentences and is a highly vandalised version of the article. This shows the intention of this editor Sam sailor. I request Wikipedia authorities to do the needful as soon as possible. Araz5152 ( talk) 06:25, 13 March 2014 (UTC) reply

User:Araz5152, its not just Sam, but me and any other decent Wikipedian also would remove all the unsourced stuff, original researches and synthesis and stuff that seemingly has references but the reference doesn't really backup the claim made.

What an irony? The very policies that are used to protect articles on Wikipedia are been exploited by some editors and nobody at Wikipedia can do anything. Nobody has any rights to stop editors who go on a rampage over an article just because of some pov of theirs, using the very policies of Wikipedia used to protect articles. I guess there is no system of checking the edits of such editors against vandalisation such that they can blatantly claim that whatever you report to authorities nobody is going to listen. This is not according to Wikipedia standards and also not healthy with respect to protection of articles on Wikipedia.

  • Protection should be such that deletion and blanking should not be allowed to editors other than the author of the article or administrators. This would curtail vandalism to a great extend. It will also stop vulturism in editing wherein editors who do not contribute with any articles but just pick on other editor's articles for whatever reasons would be discouraged and genuine critics would be encouraged who will follow the procedure of mentioning on talk pages for editing.
  • Furthermore if there are issues it can be discussed in talk pages and updation made accordingly.
  • If any author does not log in for specific period of time the article may be alloted to another editor or taken up by adminstrator or it can be locked and put up as library content which can be edited by any administrator.
  • This would add international standards as one expects on Wikipedia and also encourge authors to provide more contribution.

Anyway still it is a huge effort by Wikipedia to maintain such a huge collection of articles, it does not matter if a few articles get deleted or vandalised or removed from Wikipedia just because some pov of some editors. I understand to gain something one has to loose something. It is perfectly alright for all administrators and other authorities not to do anything and watch an article getting ripped of part by part. After all Wikipedia is with all, by all and for all. So nobody takes any responsibility. My sympathies are with the policies of Wikipedia. Thank you.

Pretty obvious spam that I tagged under CSD G11, but was despeedied by an IP who didn't give any proper reasoning - the article is pretty clearly promotional. Fails GNG, as there is no RS coverage, and there is no reliable source for the claim that this was a finalist for the award - and I'm not even seeing how such a small-scale award would generate any notability at all, unless it was won.

This BLP article is an orphan, about a male former federal bankruptcy judge who resigned after being busted for a DUI while dressed in women's clothing after leaving a gay bar. Per this discussion, there appears to be a consensus that bankruptcy judges are not inherently notable; i.e. that they are not notable unless there is something else about them that confers notability. For example, Alice M. Batchelder went on to become a U.S. district judge and chief judge of the Sixth Circuit. Arthur Gonzalez handled three high-profile bankruptcies: the Chrysler bankruptcy, the Worldcom bankruptcy (at the time the largest) and the Enron bankruptcy.

I just picked those two randomly from Category:Judges of the United States bankruptcy courts; but pretty much all the others in that category (there are only 13, including Somma) have something either related to their bankruptcy career (e.g., length of term, chief judge of the bankruptcy court, presiding over prominent bankruptcies) or subsequent career development (e.g., serving as an Article III judge). Somma's article stands out in that there's nothing special about him except for a titillating DUI arrest. He had a short (3-year) undistinguished career as a bankruptcy judge; handled no prominent cases and had no other notable aspects in his term; and no subsequent judicial career, or indeed, any other public career.

The article was created in April 2008, in response to the news of his resignation, by a WP:SPA editor who never made further edits after setting up the article; the editor's entire Wikipedia career consists of creating this article and then making a minor edit to it 20 minutes later. I stumbled upon it a couple of years ago and did some cleanup on it, and pretty much forgot about it. It's had no significant edits since then.

My take is that Somma is not notable, and the article is more an exercise in schadenfreude than a legitimate Wikipedia article. TJRC ( talk) 02:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Where do you see notability? The only edits show that he works as an attorney (all bankruptcy judges are attorneys), worked on the side as an assistant at the state (not federal) AG's office, and taught or teaches part-time at a law school. None of these convey notability to me.
Also, with respect to the orphan status, not that orphan status is itself a basis for deletion; but if he's discussed nowhere else, that's a big clue suggesting non-notability. For practical purposes, although the article is technically not an orphan any longer, the only reason it is not an orphan is that Somma has been added as a bullet-item to a couple of lists one list: lawyers who used to work at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis (where he was managing partner for a few months, but, assuming that to be a notable law firm, notability is not inherited); and List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes. He isn't actually discussed anywhere. TJRC ( talk) 17:45, 11 March 2014 (UTC) reply
I note that another editor removed him from List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes, on the ground (quite correct, I think) that he is not a politician. TJRC ( talk) 19:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC) reply
By the way, to clarify, my position is not that Somma is notable only for one event, i.e., WP:BLP1E. If that were the case, it might be appropriate to move the article to Arrest of Robert Somma, or some such. My position is that he does not meet WP:GNG at all. His arrest is not notable; his term as a bankruptcy judge is not notable; his legal career is not notable; and his part-time teaching activities are not notable. He is not notable, not even for one event. TJRC ( talk) 17:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC) reply

no verifiable definition of Sandstone Universities - just vernacular and so not suitable for Wikipedia. not a notable definition

  • Comment See the original version of this nomination. It was created by Bradhall at 23:58 on 26 February 2014, but it's only now arriving at AFD because Brad didn't use the AFD template (so the bot didn't notice anything), and because he didn't add it to any logs. I'm neutral here. Nyttend ( talk) 00:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment the term has some wide usage, see this search but I'm yet to see clear definition. LibStar ( talk) 01:34, 5 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This term is the standard way of referring to Australia's original group of universities (eg, the oldest institution in each state), which are often lumped together in analysis of the sector due to the similarities in their histories, attitudes and status (not to mention the issues they face in maintaining their historic core buildings - in all seriousness). Google searching the term demonstrates this, with examples of relevant sources which uses this to group and analyse these universities being [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] [28], [29], [30], [31], [32].
